Zakk Wylde - Hey Jude (The Beatles Cover)

[MechanizedFantasy]

Covers are not about finding a 'better version'...they're about raising your glass to the influences that shaped you.

[andrewdeangelo1]

have any of you ever heard of joe cocker? cuz thats the vibe i get from this song....but ray charles and joe cocker are similar in their soulful singing.

[brokenhoghead]

@andrewdeangelo1 I agree. The problem with covers is that we are trying to find a better original.It's tough

because the original well, is the song that evoked our love in the first place.

[andrewdeangelo1]

@brokenhoghead

no disgreement here,i truly feel this does justice to the original and joe cocker(notorious for covering beatles)

[MynZnusz]

bluesey

[chrisholloy]

amazing musician, one of the best of all time, nothing he cant do musicaly

[akunplugged]

Awesome Cover

[TheZimmy84]

i dont think anyone else coudl do this song as good as zakk. personally nothing against the beatles. but i like this soulful version better. zakk u always kill it.

Torn and tattered, Sweet Jesus check those out. by Zakk Wylde. good tunes. Like a Bird, check that one to and also The things you do. lol sorry for rambling.

[yerdaddy72]

Zakk Wylde should cover "I'm just a bill"

[ledzepzoso444]

What a fucking awesome version!

Two thumbs up Zakk! Is there anything you cannot do?!

[resistpropaganda]

Anytime you hear a beatles cover, its usually by some bubble gum pop star who bastardizes it, and it ends up in tv commercials. I really hate hearing beatles covers... however, zakk is the exception. He really did this song justice. Zakk is the most diverse, talented, and soulful (yet ass kicking) musician alive. Only he and ozzy can pull off a great beatles cover. Hell, even my grandmother loves his soulful tunes!

[R74noble]

@resistpropaganda Hey Bro, I fuckin' love how you put this comment... word for word, verbatim: its usually by some bubble gum pop star who bastardizes it, and it ends up in TV commercials. I really hate hearing Beatles covers... However, Zakk is the exception. He really did this song justice! I'll cut it here, since I'm tired and sick/cancer checs again... My favorite part of your comment is without question: "Hell, even my grandmother loves his soulful tunes! You said it bro! Peace, R.

[miffed123]

are you sure this isn't ray charles?

[LAGUPE]

This is beatles.... Hey JUDE.... Hey Joe is a tottally diferent song...

[the3rdjoker]

Zakk shows his southern blues side in this cover nice job Zakk wish you would have do this at one the ozzfest

[dreunderscore79]

[TheLawx]

[EmGwYLdE]

@TheLawx your an idiot

[TheLawx]

@EmGwYLdE shut up  a-s-s-h-o-l-e

[stephenc90]

@TheLawx thats "hey joe"

[TheLawx]

@stephenc90 I know, but look at the title " Hey JUDE " by Beatles and this song is by Hendrix

[CrzyFnStephen]

@TheLawx The song that Zakk Wylde is singing in this song is Hey JUDE by the Beatles.

[djtazzle]

@TheLawx this is hey jude by the beatles, hey joe is totaly different

[TheGuerrillaradio]

@TheLawx LOL wut

[humgaga]

Oh my god... This reminds me of home.....

[BTMmaggotsic]

this shit makes me feel at home ... :)

[MrBalfazaar]

Why does on version have to be better? They're played in different styles. The way Zakk plays it is completely different than the beatles. Comparing them is just silly, just enjoy them both for what they are, something great :)

[partyrockette]

I love his come together it's amazing

[thereaper2108]

feel like crying by listening to this

[inbetweentics]

honestly zakk reminds of many of the blues greats. that's about as high a compliment to the man one can give.

[SABOSNAKE3]

greatt!



[stephenc90]

i didnt knew zakk could sing so emotional... damn this is hot shit

[Danic611]

it takes my anxiety attacks away..... or makes em' worse

[ChuckMacDerwood]

Christ, what a wanker.

[TonyTkD30]

BLS 4 EVER

[Gibson4life100]

Stop arguing about witch version is best.... This is a great cover! Listen to the music: ))

[brurucy]

SOOO MYCH SHIT SONG!! omfg No One will ever be best then the beatles!!

[nygellkagchelland]

@brurucy

i get what youre saying and i completely agree with you but

dear god learn some english

[felitzzz]

@brurucy its true nobody will be better than the beatles but this song is fuckin great you have to recognize that man

[steve7onfire]

I hear Ray Charles/Joe Cocker...... Awesome man!!!

[JointPOLJoint]

oh my god ! his sound's like ray charles!!!! Great job men. amazing

[wojtekmetal]

Beginning sounds a bit like "candle in the wind" by Elton John, dont you think?

[the20car]

you cant rank talent like this ,,, i love the beatles and they are great , he took this song and his version in this day .... you cant compare , sheer talent , Mr. Wylde is indeed a very talented man !!!!!

[superandwich]

even better than the original

[corkman666]

zakk wylde!!! is there anything he cant do!!

[plantguy666]

the answer is hell no. awesomeness in the flesh.

[citigrp3]

He sound like Ray Charles-great job!

[Beast01789]

He is good at guitar and piano...but that doesnt matter he is an artist from hell.

[alienindacloset]

Zakk is good at both guitars n piano...but he's better on guitars...he's a guitarist afterall...even Ozzy picked him to be his guitarist, not his pianist...his BLS songs are awsome becoz of his awsome guitar works.

[thespirtofrocknroll]

he rips the shit out of both of them

and sings while he does it

[leikeylosh]

fridogg says: He is a better piano player than his guitar work, I thnk

WTF???? Are you serious???

[fridogg]

wonderful version. Zack is so talented. He is a better piano player than his guitar work, I thnk

[Whiplash218]

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa its impoooossible!!! =D.... well... I think zakk's better playing guitar!!! but is my opinion...

[mryakthailand]

Lovely,zakk!!!:-)

[ginocidian1]

oh lord oh mama yeahhh!! lord yeah yeah yeah

[rhydiantitch]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

americanized ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this is so terriable

[bigblockbowtie]

zakk wylde is a great solo artist, and I think this is a great take on a beatles classic, its never going to be john paul george and ringo, but I love it, its very bluesy

[neal2021]

zakk wylde ownes anything u have ever even thought about classifying music you are a disgrace. zakk wylde is prolly doin ur mom in the other room as we speak so dnt hate homo

[drumbumlix]

He sounds more like Joe Cocker than Ray Charles to me.  Either way it's very good.

[dparamore1]

He sounds like Ray Charles here...

[Pfot5364]

He's so talented it's hard to comprehend.

[italo93876]

@Pfot5364 muito dez cara muito da hr

[cast390]

Sounds like Ray Charles.

[HlerLogiKari]

I wouldn't say it sounds like Ray Charles, but you're right - some passages remind me of Ray Charles too. I've never thought about that.

[JERSEYsdmfCHAPTER]

its not a solo its a lead shit head

[omisteriodofotografo]

i'd like to see zakk playing one of those crazy ass solos he does for this song

[SuRihtanil]

This was when he first started branding out on his own 93-94 he was fairly young.

[hardcoremegadeth]

zakk not at his best

this is ok

i wudnt say its bad cuz its a beatles song and its zakk!

in a way i love this

[surjguitar]

I like Zakk and all, but I think he ruined this song.

[piotrwrotek]

very nice one ... I like this Zakk's style and this how he feels music ... for me it's more important, this music soul than being a very good as far as technic is being concerned.

[jorzakk]

esta version es de zack wylde en pride & glory

una manteca diria el bambino

[blackpearl2133]

This was a song they performed during sound check that day.

[0darkside]

I love Zakk but I dont think it's good version. Sorry. He could have done it much better. Why he has to say "yeah" all the time?...

[Bootscoot33]

@0darkside cuz he's into the song, man. ever try singin somethin without a radio goin?

[YoureWatched]

I like this cover but the back vocalist ruined the whole thing.

[taehee88]

lol sounds like ray charles farted into this song, and stop saying 'lord yea'

[slippies636]

i love zakk...but this sucks

[SclaviThrash]

haha

[elturquitocanaya]

genial... zakk es lo mejor!!!!

[MarceloAvero]

Contemporáneamente hablando. Hoy por hoy nadie lo supera. Nadie nadie, pero hubo mejores... antes, en los 50's 60's y 70's.

[elturquitocanaya]

fijate que puede reversionar temas a su propio estilo y quedan HERMOSOS, yo tuve la oportunindad de verlo en vivo cuando vino BS AS junto a KORN y OZZY y fue increible... el mejor recital de mi vida fue haber visto a BLS y a MEGADETH. la forma de componer y cantar la rompeee... impresionante!

[ToddGustafson]

sounds great

[hazor777]

Wow,Im suprised,......not bad.but "Hey Zak: chill on the 'lord' & 'child' references--it gets a little redundant !" -- backing vocals need some rehearsal.Other than that, not bad.

[chiarosol]

what an insult. what a grave grave insult.

[scottohandley]

i hate the beatles... but you can tell how good zakk is because this cover is awsome !

[MarceloAvero]

I don't hate Beatles, also I like them, but Zakk kicks McCartney ass with this song.

[siimpatiko]

awesome cover!

[Olekre]

Damn, That was a great cover

[guitaristONgasoline]

wow zakks voice is epic here man

[dickinson82]

simplemente hermoso...

Beautiful

[bigblockbowtie]

that was amazing, what a great cover of a great song, I would love to hear this song with a more metal feel to it, some heavier guitars ya know, but a great version none the less

[Rimmer7]

Watch Beatallica's Hey Dude if you want a metal cover.

[turboMATRIX03]

sounds a lil like Joe Cocker

very blues sounding

[nextjameshet]

he has such a great voice, and he is so talented in so many things

[castlap]

lol - funny comparison with Ray. Some similar vocal touches, you're right.

Very rare shot, thanks for posting !

[ghosterdude]

are you sure this is not ray charles??

;)

[pizzulo81]

too funny about the ray comparison. i agree. now i can't stop laughing listening to it because i don't know if zakk is trying to cover the beatles, or if he was so drunk he forgot and went all ray on us.

[911SHIZBO]

ahah holy shit!

[yomasux]

you just summed up like every thought ive had about zakk wylde

[avesinsombra]

great job guy i really like it

[cowguitar]

Great job by mr. Wylde! Backing vox are awful though.

[rjkahlon]

I like this approach to the song, but no one will ever beat the original Beatles version. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are legends.

[guitaristONgasoline]

john lennon was an amazing songwriter, but a dick in real life.

[metalheadcolton]

he sounds like a black person singin!!

[RiffRaff100]

agreed... its real bluesy..

I like it :)

[wezzleb]

good choise of song 4 zakk to have a go at ozzy whould of done better

[gman6786]

no way ozzy could do this better...

[TAZ8593]

bullshit dude, i love Ozzy but his voice doesn't have the soul that Zakk's does.

[gman6786]

your right ozzy does not have the soul to sing this song like zakk does. i love the ozzman too SDMF...

[lietz13]

Too different styles of vocalization, can't compare them.

[fropen]

great vibrato in his voice, fuckin' awesome..

[ccontirealty]

Zakes the man shut the fuckup

[Elfenleidamour]

Zakk fucking rules but I love the beatles too man why is everyone dissing each other ?

they are both great man !

[kdime1234]

zakks the man S.D.M.F

[SDMF0033]

zakk can take any song and kick its ass...

fuckin great

[hendrixjosh1995]

whats with im keep sayin lord this is a insult to the beatles

[Lobsterclaw1994]

This is fucking BULLSHIT!

this guy sucks cock...

This is an insult to John and Paul.

[Gweih1985]

paul sucks zakks cock.

[berger322]

great zakk can fucking tear up every thing

[tylar1111]

Dont fucking disgrace the beatles like that you piece of shit.

[abigexplosion]

Oh wow, he actually did a serious cover. I thought he was gona do what he did to "Tush." This turned out great.

[lelegilada]

not bad

[lelegilada]

not bad

[chenhen72]

great

[oglala]

hope he does another album like book of shadows or pride and glory

[stampede105]

you mean like Hangover Music Vol. 6?

[SabuPtolemy]

He almost sounds like Ray Charles in places here. Zakk could be so much more than the tough guy metal biker corner he's maneuvered himself into..........

[steveoz49]

words were never spoken so true. I was thinking the exact same thing and then read your comment.

[TAZ8593]

He put 4 or 5 ballads in his last album dude.

[guitaristONgasoline]

He knows that almost everyone knows that but the thing is he's doing what he likes

[1234dominator1234]

zakk is awesome, this is why i love zakk, im not a beatles fan but this song is just ..wow i think he could make any song sound good lol

[TAZ8593]

Good? More like Kickass & Fucking awesome

[castilloband08]

agree 100% with you

[Hethen119]

thats what i like about zakk wylde, he isnt just flat out metal, he's into everything, and he can play everything.

[SDMFPhil]

this is nice! any chance you could upload it to bigupload or something as an mp3 and post the link so i can download it?

[sportsportsport]

i prefer this to the beatles version, its more blues'y. And im a huge beatles fan as well.
