Cold Turkey - Cheap Trick cover John Lennon Live

[lookylooky2006]

its hard to capture someone else's pain

they did a pretty good job of it

[michaelaussie1]

what was the guitarist at 2:27 trying to do? throw and catch his pick?

[lookylooky2006]

@michaelaussie1

no, rick tosses it and immediately grabbed another off the stand

[hungfao]

Turning a Lennon tune into the Seattle sound. John was always way ahead of his time.

[wkunderwood2003]

they are better than nirvana or the beatles!!!.......one of the best ever.....rock an roll hall of fame,WTF!!!!!!

[11xzxzxz]

Really a great cover!

[nannielane]

amazing!!!!! absolutely amazing!!!!

[telecasterbear]

bun smile at 3:31

[alcest35]

@TheTrippybutterfly Everything this band does is freaking ear candy... nobody better, and when they do a cover of someone else's music they always do it with love and respect.

[Kreason95]

@alcest35 The person they are covering is better, and that person's original band is even Better

[DavidShawMusic]

Best band ever! Best singer in the history of rock and roll. Long live Robin Zander and Cheap Trick!

[jus2bur]

FUCK CHEAP TRICK. THEY FUCKED UP AN AWESOME SONG.

[SmokinStubs]

wow, I always hated the girly pop cheap trick band back in the 80's. I hated them even more when some people thought they were punk rock in the 90's and today, This cover of Lennon totally blows my mind. Unreal!!! Thank You Cheap Trick!!!

[chuckubus]

I love Cheap Trick, I love The Beatles. Cheap Trick is heavily influenced by The Beatles, no doubt. Those guys love some Beatles. But to suggest they are "so close to the real thing" is completely misleading and not even true. I mean, wow, CT is untouchable as a live act and some of the best rock and roll ever to come out of the United States comes from these guys fromAmerica's heartland. But they are by no means in the same league as The Beatles. Sorry.

[bkarem]

Damn this is damn good. You can tell they know their source material and love it.

[icechapelstudios]

Actually, they sound like cheap trick and it fuckin rocks.

[jepesuzette]

that was shit!

[MrKirkenstein]

pretty cool. man that eight string bass is great. i want one.

[LazyMansWorkshop]

great cover! :)

[LukasFin]

Best recovering from getting oneself really deep. I love this band!

[gustavoulisses01]

Very good! God bless John Lennon...

[fatalolive]

interesting cover.

[marvy1118]

They were being Nirvana-esque grunge as was the fashion during the '90s.

[catrod24]

I've never heard of this song before. Sounds great.

[Asskicker32294]

I like Cheap Trick but this is a lousy cover of a great song

[TruthRadiator]

it is a shitty cover, I like how the guitar player juggles his plectrum though!

[alphakub]

I was at that taping, it's where the "Sex, America, Cheap Trick" name was born for their boxset, coined by Conan O Brien. They played this all during 1995 and 1996 and jammed for very extended periods of time

[zackshannon23]

john lennon was so much more talented than these fuckin idiots

[iwboomer]

@zackshannon23 rick and john were friends

[aquariussouldier]

As a life long John Lennon fan, and PAINFULLY EXCRUTIONATE of any will-be-er, I LOVE it :)

[manfromregina]

Cool!

[TrickyTolles64]

They smoke the shit out of this tune!!!

Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick

[dnu6]

To all the Beatlesfans in the world: listen to Cheap Trick! They are so close to the real thing, I can't believe it. Just listen to their St.Pepper cd/dvd. It's great.

[Marshallsg]

@dnu6 You think they sound like The Beatles?

[kainthevampireduck]

@dnu6 it sounds like if they can't decide if they want to be The Beatles or Nirvana

[Guitarlicks4u2]

awesome video !!! thanks for posting :)

[cathoderoy]

@RZRoxTheWorld I have it , too, on VHS, but I can't find the fucking thing! I've looked for years, and I'm psyched!

[Hotwiredrummer]

Oh my god they really made this song their own. They've still got it!!!!! :D

[diablo30se]

This clip was pulled from YouTube a couple years ago...maybe Yoko out of jealousy? Anyhow, my all time fav Lennon cover and Cheap Trick vid ! Thanks for gettig this back on...

[ScaryPsychobabble]

This is AWESOME!

[Reidsmith1000]

I've always been a fan of Cheap Trick and I love this also.

[colingawel]

that's the stuff!

[trickhound]

Doesn't get much better than this!

[TrickyTolles64]

@trickhound No sir it doesn't!! Unless your in the audience!!!

Cheap Trick

'Cheap Trick

[2010ritaun]

awesome. I love CT

[greggb42]

I remember watching this live and just being totally blown away!!!! Why they aren't one of the biggest bands in the world is a travesty.

[tomlover68]

I just noticed two other "mentions" in this video..that I could watch forever!! One, at the end, when Conan comes out and shakes Robin's hand..how much TALLER Conan is from Robin...and two..is it me or does TOM LOOK ALOT LIKE GEORGE HARRISON ALL OVER FROM "HARD DAYS NIGHT?!?!" LOVE IT...LOVE IT..LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[tomlover68]

Love how the bass sound "moans" thru the amps!!!! It sounds sooo "sinister."

[tomlover68]

Oh..my..gawd. ...The month before this aired, I was at Trickfest 1, in Rosemont, illinois. I had just gotten my red hair cut..super-short..the day b-4. Watching this video again reminds me...how FRIGGIN' HAPPY I WAS TO SEE TOM WITH SHORT HAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!!! I guess, maybe, he liked my short hair at Trickfest sooooo much...he probably said, "MMM..maybe I outta do that too." Just a thought...................TOM.­..YOU WERE HOT LOOKING THEN...AND STILL ARE....BABY...........

[ArmyFtBall]

I remember when this was on live. great cover.

[fluffydolly]

klassik...great version!!!!

[ShadowWanderer1]

Awesome, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrPcMechanicReturns]
