  • LESBIAN WOMAN STAY AWAY FROM ME

  • hes singing an american protest song, in front of a really big and exciting american flag... i dont think he gets the message of the song...

  • Stephen Dorf does the "ugh".

  • Even though I love Lenny Kravitz. American woman was made by Winnipeg group The Guess Who in 1970. So sorry but this song is 100x better when the original group sings it.

  • @Hope78634 Yea the original is better. This version is alright.

  • this music should be the music of the future

  • when i broke up with my gf i was like...

    Breakeven- the script :(

    then i was like...

    Without you- Usher :/

    then i was like

    American woman- lenny :D

  • Fake

  • American Woman-Lenny Kravits

  • This is one incredible performer ... Talent abounding, Looks, and an ability to pick great cover material which he almost does better than the original artists ... pretty near PERFECT!

  • So much worse than the original...

  • How cute would I look on a motorcycle....

  • Heather Graham = DAMN!! :D

  • Molly Clock for the win! She's so hot!!! :Q__

  • Comment removed

  • Type "Ranj-They Say" if you wanna hear a cool song!

  • The original is better. This is horribly bastardized and Lenny can't compare on the guitar. This song wasn't originally just about women, it was about the Vietnam War and Poverty and more specifically the US government in general.

  • I like this song and the video!!!!!!!!!

  • hendrix is still the king

  • @HossuFlaviu He dead bruh'

  • @jesseovm Wh' THO FAK Cares ?

  • one cover that is actually better than the original

  • Anyone else notice that that was Heather Graham

  • Comment removed

  • This is an excellent cover but the fact that an American is singing it just seems...wrong.

  • @sync380 omg i couldnt agree more! i thought kravitz was british or something before i looked him up!!

  • Hendrix reincarnated

  • @mojoeyFTW I don't think so. Check out the writers of this song. They are 'The Guess Who', lead singer, Burton Cummings.

  • @mojoeyFTW Possibly, but if you notice, brief cameo's of another hugely famous guitarist who's guitar work with songs like American woman and always on the run (Mama Said) was Indispensable in the recordings, That artist also did A Hendrix cover that wasn't bad on the "use your illusion" albums. Lenny and he are friends, It's Slash from Guns n Roses.

  • WOW a non white rocker that isn't asian awesome seriously i was looking for this guy

  • Romancele sunt cele mai FRUMOASE FETE DIN LUME!!!!<3

  • speaking the harsh truth of woman these days..., so true

  • Is Austin Powers 2

    

  • You know, I really TRIED to like this version, but I just CANNOT. Sorry, I just CANNOT. It is so 'wimpy'. NO ONE can come close to Burton Cummings for the proper vocals for this song. No One.

  • Lenny Kravitz = American Wanker

  • Heather gram is hot

  • '99 "Austin Powers" - anyone ?

  • does anyone know who originally sang this song?

  • @kfrizb96 The Guess Who. Not jimi hendrix or zeppelin. The Guess Who.

  • @CateValois okay. i just wasn't sure because there are soooooo many covers of it. i think lenny does the best job.

    thanks. =]

  • @kfrizb96 Burton Cummings, of the Canadian band, 'The Guess Who'.

  • i comment on the scenes and forgot the most important thing , Lenny Kravitz one of the true artists

  • that "picture" with those sexy girls on bikes really hard to find, but hey got to love them

  • she's on the hangover! lol

  • @holachao76435281 yeah. she's the stripper that married stu. lol. i think her name's lauren graham.

  • who got the best chick drummer? lenny or kid? i give it to kid

  • LENNY is a ONE MAN SHOW

  • There are certain rare occasions when the original is perfect. It does not happen often, but this is one of those times. The Guess Who did this son originally. They did it perfectly and any other "interpretations" are just a waste of time. Wanna hear what this should actually sound like? Listen to the original and skip this version. Lenny should only pull this out to perform when he is down to working as a lounge act at Holiday Inn.

  • he's like modern jimi....love it

  • @1loveandlife yeah your right

  • I visited the USA and found American women to have a remarkably restricted vocabulary, populated with an astonishing amount of "likes" and "you knows". Also they seemed overly friendly which was suspicious and later shown to be false and merely a means of gaining an ally for later use to gain an advantage. They were also obsessed with money & their careers with very little knowledge or interest in any thing else, well if shopping counts as an interest. In general dull unappealing personalities.

  • @ImaginedWriter Im booking a flight right now. Shallow, Dumb, Cunning, Greedy, Overfriendly, Good with money, Up for anything. They sound like my perfect type of woman.

  • @napalmthem

    Amen, Most worthless women in the world!!!

  • @napalmthem only way to go (; hahaha

  • @napalmthem  <-----the definition of a loser...just go to his channel

  • Comment removed

  • @ImaginedWriter Those were all liberals. You visited one of the big cities, didn't you?

  • @ImaginedWriter i don't know where you encountered these women, but most of the ones that I know are genuinely nice and intelligent people.

  • @ImaginedWriter So sorry you have so low an opinion of us. Next time do leave the strip clubs and venture out to meet real American women :)

  • @ImaginedWriter yea, the over friendly part is true.

  • @ImaginedWriter Seams like you either went to California or Florida and so you know nothing about any other women in our country

  • @ImaginedWriter u forgot better teeth, skin and body odor then ENGLISH. just take a look at the inbred Royal Family, do u enjoy paying for the life they lead and in return they hardly do a thing. ABOLISH ROYALTY IN THE 21st century, behead the entire clan!!!!!

  • @ImaginedWriter Women are like that everywhere.

  • @ImaginedWriter Way to stereotype millions upon millions of people based solely on one song and a visit to a foreign country. Really, nice job. All of those things, the shallowness, the greed, the stupidity, that perfectly describes my mom, my aunts, all of my female cousins and friends. When I get married, my wife will be like that; if I have daughters, they'll be like that, too. You really do know a lot about American women.

  • @ImaginedWriter As an American I say you are soooooo right. I'm trying to get out of here.

  • @ImaginedWriter shiiiit, not all american women are like that.

    what happened to just being here for the music?

    this is an awesome song.

  • @ImaginedWriter I live in the USA and you're probably just some creepy nerd who bought drinks for women and they stopped talking to you after so now you're bitter.. it's ok stick to your european country where you're probably used to prostitutes :)

  • @lookitsnicolas You are so right. And this guy Imagined is not a nerd. This word is too good for him.

    Amrican woman here is an alegory for A Woman.

    If someone does not like women, f-ck him.

  • @lookitsnicolas Not all europeans go to hookers. It's just like weed.. In Holland (where I live) It's legal, but don't tell me there is no weed in America. You guys are just not being honest about it. I can go to prostitutes if I want to but I don't. :-) I know some guys pay girls to have sex with them in Holland but it happens in America too.

  • Someone is bitter. Foriegn women are just better than American.

  • @ImaginedWriter f-k u, smart ass. I love women, I love american women.

  • @ImaginedWriter lol, nice sanitized channel, is that your "i'm a big pussy" channel ? ahahaha....

  • @ImaginedWriter Sounds like someone has been watching Jersey Shore...or visited California. Poor bastard.

  • Lenny's Dad: Green Beret

    Heather Graham's Dad: FBI

  • fukinnnn animaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llll

  • I remember getting the Austin Power's soundtrack when i was 10, and this song, 'Word Up' by Mel B & 'Beautiful Stranger' by Madonna were on there too. It's too bad I only know two songs by Lenny Kravitz 'American Woman' & 'Fly Away'.

  • all hot womans where at leny`s concert...the rest at McDonalds :D

  • the focus on cars and boobs in this video is simply inspiring.

  • look darkprince, everyone is entitled 2 their opinion here. sorry about your luck. BTW I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • People are so stupid in usa. masons work for people like me aka illuminati haha.

    Not once did anyone figure this out? The first family was the GRAIL? Or was it in Rome with Ceasar? Or was it the Mesopotamia society? Mesopotamia had power?

    I picked one woman. I hope she understands what this is about. I will help you through this.

    PEOPLE or "SOCIETY" blames HIGH RANKING when in reality... its the peasants/peeons that are doing this crap. Some bloodlines are corrupted too!!! I know.

  • @DarkPrinceNH5570 wtf b u talkin bout?

  • People didnt give the GRAIL (me) the inheritance of power (money). So why would I care about society that is lieing and covering this all up? I covered up for my own reasons. You all did it on a different "INTENTION"!!! YOU JUST GOT CAUGHT!!!

    People dont have to trust me. You never liked me so just do me a favor and fuck off. You didnt show it you LIED... so dont worry about it. Im not on your side. I had an understanding and society turned it into a drama show and tore families apart.

  • usa is a dream and women are having a hard time UNDERSTANDING me. Im glad, because I didnt want anyone in usa to know what was going on either when I finally saw this "daisy chained" lol. Like I want to live here with stupid spoiled whores in usa.

    Jennifer Lopez = Tranny, find someone else!!! You didnt talk anyways hahahaha. I picked someone else. Who knows how it would of turned out if you would of said what was going on, doesnt matter.

    Im leaving usa and dont care for the people anymore.

  • Women in usa are fucking stupid (NOT ALL OF THEM!!!). They want me to MARRY JENNIFER LOPEZ (not my fault)? Thats not me... and if I have to. I will marry someone overseas and usa can kiss my fucking ass, not staying here in usa. Marry someone in the Royal families overseas who knows who I am. Like I want to talk to fucking women that dont have the HEART or COURAGE to talk to the GRAIL (ME). Just shut the fuck up.

    Women need to grow up and just let it go!!! NO MORE DRAMA!!!

  • Where's the snare drum?

  • i love this guy. everything he does whether it's a cover or not sounds good.

  • MUST FUCK ALL GIRLS IN VIDEO!GREAT SONG!

  • what ever happen to the badass lenny? now he's doing song with DRAKE!! come on lenny, your better than that

  • good jewish performance:)

  • 181 FUCKIN IDIOTS

  • his nipples are on fire !!!

  • Thanks Jimi

  • my name is lenny too

  • Nice cover actually, if you are going to do a cover make it a bit different which he did. But, how the Hell are the Guess Who not the the Rock Hall Of Fame, but Madonna is? What a joke.

  • gibson focking flying V

  • American woman !!!!

  • Heather Graham! ("the hangover", "Austin Powers")

    2:22 (and some other parts as well !)

    Cheers!

  • guess who this isn't...

    The Guess Who...therefore this = less awesome

  • WHY OH GOD WHY DID YOU PUT JUSTIN BIEBER IN A VIDEOCLIP O LENNY KRAVITZ??!!

  • One cover that is actually pretty good

  • @ThreatofDoom

    *best cover

  • @ThreatofDoom well, that is your opinion, amd you are certainly entitled to it.

  • @MicroWorldLover which is why I posted it. I like both to be honest not disliking either one.

  • @ThreatofDoom Thank you for that. As for me, I'll stay with The Guess Who. NOT because they are, like me, are Canadians, but, because they do the best for the song. Believe me, if I thought LK was as good as BC, I would SAY SO.

  • were can i find his shades?

  • lol :D HE'S THE #1

  • This is absolute crap compared to "The Guess Who" who actually wrote this song years / decades earlier.

    Lenny also needs a damn good Bass player to fill it all at as well as a kick ass bottom end to make it rock.

    Check the version by "The Guess Who" live 2008. Even at their age they make it sound bloody awesome.

    This is in my opinion SH...T

  • hes more a model than a singer !1212122000

  • i like how they have a red head as the "American Woman" nobody like's a red head they have no souls.

    -Thanks

  • @killodoggy lol this song is not Lenny's, it's a cover from "The guess who"

  • @killodoggy I echo your sentiments.

  • @barf245 90s ftw dude

  • 3:31 i see some pantys

  • I'm glad some black americans are still making music as awesome as they used to. That rap crap is shite

  • @negativewierdo This is from the 90's woot go 90's!!

  • @barf245 90's were awesome

  • LOL, American women?! Lenny, bad boy, that's because you don't know Latin and passional women; the Spanish and Italian. American women are bad copies of the English, hahaha.

  • @thynaluna Stupid wet bag! if u got smthing against american women go back to your shit hole country you dumb bitch!

  • @divascorpio1 I'm already in my beautiful country, idiot, LOL. VIVA the passionate, romantic and Latinas women from Latin America and Western Europe (Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguesses)! Este hombre tiene que probar lo bueno de verdad. Donde esté una mujer de la cultura romance que se quiten las anglosajonas, xD. ¿Vosotras qué creéis que a Lenny le parecería más sensual un baile "country" que un "pasodoble", un "tango" o un "bolero"? Jajaja, ¡no me hagas reír!

  • American women are the best. You euros are just "boymen" who prefer anorexic women

  • no le alcanzaba con tratar de parecerse a hendrix tambien toca las mismas canciones

  • @talahase100 imposible compararle con hendrix

  • @3.35 every guy waited for ! :D
