Eleanor Rigby (Beatles cover)

[antMANscochiey]

I wouldn't even say a cover. You took a classic and put your own stylish twist too it. simple amazing

[gladiatorlover94]

You sound jack johnson a little.

[Amn155]

Little too fast. <_<

[LowLevelHum]

Very groovy. Dig it!

[slipknoter01]

[sputnikowns]

Pretty cool, mate!

[Mac4Apple]

Creative

[Farfalhozen]

Skills

[iluffmysaxophone]

I'm having trouble deciding if I like it or not--but I haven't turned it so that pretty much means that I do. Good job making this your own!

[juliuscracus]

nice flow man

[Spideyfan117]

kudos for originality, but i don't know if it's my style.

[colinmccubbin]

i'll be that one asshole that dosn't quite like it. sorry. hey man! you can't have excellent feedback all the time. right?

[lotsip]

nice job buddy

[GreaterAnticipation]

I like the guitarring, but dude...slow down!

[ColumbusWasWrong]

Very cool, but you are very hard to understand sometimes. I already know the words to this song, though, so it isn't distracting here.

[therealEmpyre]

This is indeed very different from the beloved original, but not at all slaughtered. I like it!

[JackWalter4]

not my type of music, but for the genre, great job!

[cabuwazi]

i like it that you have changed this song a bit!!! that sounds very good your way!!!!

but i still like the beatlesversion a bit more... but thats very good, too!!!! i love it!

[notamunk42]

[FaygoAddict]

I stumbled on to this by accident, but I'm glad I did. Best cover I've ever heard of this song. Kudos!

[FakeASmile90]

I love this version.

You did a very loverly job.

[AprilSixth]

very cool man.

[Ainara1278]

NICE!!!!!!!!I really like it and I find it very hard to find covers of the beatles that i actually like. good job.

[oksoccer3]

Nice rendition of this song man!

[puglover87]

Very interesting take on that song. It sounds like a totally different song than my cover of this song.

[larrythetvaddict]

great cover, a bit too fast

[xesemas]

nice ! Finally a true cover and not a replica !

[beejayb0y]

i like that. did you lay over the tambourine and synth yourself?

[junnuj34]

rated 5. what's not to like.

[craigeness]

niiiiiiiiiice

[tuxedojesus]

Dude I can't stop watching your videos. Keep it up.

[ZzouZzou]

Fantastic, fan

[ddrumdan]

i love the origional always, but this is amazing, its got a nice jazzy feel, well done.

[onechopwabbit]

mint.

[Qkuanp]

wow this is awesome

[MusicIsLove121]

I like this inturpretation. Very well done. I like that he sang the chorus up, it really worked with the song. Well done. One of my favorite Beatles songs.

[anthonydodge]

what an awesome cover of a beatles classic ! nice work !

[GabeGriggs]

This is a sweet cover.

I also like your originals, they remind me of Pink Floyd. I think it's something in your style... anyways, nice work, peace.

[Snuilp]

And for as long as I am single, I want to listen to this on every Valentine's Day.

Let's start a Lonely Peoples Day!

[TimThiele]

I so love this song :) Thanks Kris.

[ELECTROBUNNY69]

:D my name eleanor loll

[p0nette]

you're SO talented... i just LOVE this version you came up with. you rock my 'tube :)

[Darcy1080]

One of my favorite songs by the beatles and by you. loved it

[SparrowAndTheSwann11]

You need to give a download link to this. I love it

[SparrowAndTheSwann11]

wow. I love it. It sounds darker then the real version. I love it.

[bbalanky]

It would've been incredibly easy to do this song the same old way, and, with your voice, make it great...

You did us all one better, though. Nice arrangement, man. You're killing this shit, as always... I think I'll add that myspace page now. :P

[p0nette]

i totally agree with that... he made the song his and it's so cool...

[southernlakesounds]

cool man, would sound good with a real mellow conga track of the same tempo in the background.

[billyjoezvideoz]

Very nice cover of a great Beatles song. It's great to see someone put a new spin on a classic.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, billyjoezvideoz, glad you enjoyed. Peace

[Linerideroxs]

zzzzzzap, pllllease put them on your myspace sooon ;)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Am working on it, Linerideroxs.. Thanks for stopping by

[rhopen]

Damn man, get a record deal all ready... Your tracks are ready to go as is :)

-Ron

[zzzzzzzzap]

Ron, you are too kind, glad you enjoyed. Peace

[thinkmorepink]

favorited, five stars...this is delicious.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks very much, thinkmorepink. Glad you enjoyed. Peace

[caoimhinoh]

very good well done man top class if you ever fancy playing in ireland give me a shout. peace out|

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, caoimhinoh.. Greetings to Ireland. Peace

[Swatantra100]

Of course, you didn't try to re-create the original orchestration. This, instead is a completely different approach. What you have here is a dramatic, edgy, almost staccato feeling. Considering that the subject of the song is rather tragic - poor Eleanor Rigby and all the sad, lonely people - it SHOULD be dramatic, as you have done it. It is edgy, too, with the idea that, these people are on the verge of tragedy, so what's going to happen next in their lives? Good tune! I loved it!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks again Swantantra100, I couldn't agree more. I was a little worried I'd upset hardened Beatles fans with my interpretation but they're a pretty open bunch, I'm sure. Peace

[ColumbusWasWrong]

Love it.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks, ColumbusWasWrong. Thanks for checking this out. Peace

[Cameragirl803]

This is awesome! What an orginal version of this song:) Just love it 5*****Jane

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, Jane. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by. Peace

[coolio98766]

:) Thanks, coolio98766. Peace

[lildebbielil]

DUDE!!!! COOLIO!!! i love how you made this song into your type of version!!! keep up the awesome work zzzap!

[zzzzzzzzap]

THanks a lot, lildebbielil.. I will certainly try my best. Thanks for watching. Peace

[ParadiseEarth1]

Classy style*****

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks again, ParadiseEarth1. Peace

[lawlsimpopular]

>_> Could you post or e-mail the chords/a tab you used for this? I'd really like to learn how to play your rendition.

[zzzzzzzzap]

hi, lawlsimpopular.. unfortunately I don't do tab. I plan eventually to work them out though and post them on my website/myspace if you can wait that long. Thanks for your kind words. Peace

[Noradne]

You are the awesomeness :) I admire you and your sense for making such good music (doesn't matter if it is a cover or not)Thank you very much!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, Nora. Thanks a plenty to you for coming back time and time again ~ I REALLY appreciate it. Peace

[Noradne]

This is nice to hear, too. :) There are things in life which can't replace the wonderful sound of music. As long as it is there I will be around *g*

Peace

[marywinmusic]

Fantastic rendition! 5* ;-)

[ParadiseEarth1]

Hey there Mary! :) Just as fantastic as his rendition of your great one... :)

[marywinmusic]

ParadiseEarth1, you're everywhere! 8-} 5* to Kris again : )

[ParadiseEarth1]

Heh heh heh they didn't call me Earth for nothing :^)

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha, you're too kind, ParadiseEarth1. Peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, Mary. glad you enjoyed. Peace

[pyXXXie]

I'm digging it dude, peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, pyXXXie. Peace

[shotguncure]

dude, you are extremely talented. You seem like a really cool guy too because you take the time to reply to every comment.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot shotguncure; speaking of which, apologies for the delay in replying; seems I've got my work cut out for me now. Peace

[vmandanici]

Really nice arrangement Kris!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, vmandanici ~ really glad you enjoyed it. Peace

[pmanmusicman]

Hey zzzzzzzz... Great job man!! It is hard to cover a Beatles song without strong critique. You did a great job putting a fresh sound together.

P.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, pmanmusicman ~ that's true. I think you're always in danger of upsetting people, especially if you want to do something a little different. Glad you enjoyed. Peacae

[MyPrivateGarden]

A tad bit rushed. Lovely... but you're young. Take your time. Let us enjoy...

[zzzzzzzzap]

I'd have to agree with you there, MyPrivateGarden. If I ever covered it again, I'll definitely take my time and sit back on it. Peace

[KrisShred]

Quite interesting version. The different rhythm and the short bass tones. Your own style, but sounds good :)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, Kris. It seems odd saying that with me being a Kris and all. Feels like I'm saying thanks to myself; which is terribly bad taste. Peace

[joeburton77]

zzzzzzap, I've not made any requests of your time yet.. but .. I would love to hear you play romulus by sufjan stevens.. i can send you the track if you want.. I just think your voice and guitar would sing so much if you did that one... really reflective and sad.. maybe add a few strings or a piano part in the back.. please give it a go.. I would be more than happy to reciprocate with any tune that you could name... peace y'all

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers Joe. I'll try and check the track out on YT. It'll probably be worth buying though won't it? I've heard good things about this fella. Peace

[classican]

Very different, but excellent.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, classican. Glad you thought so. Thanks a lot. Peace

[mmcs122]

Wow. I love this. What an awesome arrangement!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, mmcs122. Glad you enjoyed ~ next time I do it I'm taking the tempo down but this'll do for the time being. Peace

[justmeblueberry]

brilliant , did u do all the backing ~

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks, justmeblueberry, yeah, did the whole track with the equipment I've got at home. Peace

[justmeblueberry]

have you checked out my stuff ? ~ peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Not yet - am on to it. Peace

[telday]

I'm sorry I can only give this four stars. Although I loved the arrangement, to me the vocal seemed a little rushed. I'm not sure if that is a fair comment or wether it's that I can't help comparing it to your version of I'm Only Sleeping. Which I think is one of the best Beatle covers I've ever heard.

[zzzzzzzzap]

No, I'd agree with your telday. I was that excited that jimski had made his request I quickly put this together and seemed to get lost in the moment. If I record again I'll certainly slow it down. Cheers Tel

[dmio2]

I dig this. For some reason it reminded me of a cover of Norwegian wood by jazz pianist Patricia Barber I heard. I dig jazzy covers of rock songs.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, dmio2 - I think I've heard that too. Beatles songs offer so much to anyone wanting to cover. Peace

[swammy05]

This is great zap. If you're taking up anymore 'agreements' I'd be up for working with you on anything.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Sounds interesting. What have you got in mind, swammy? Peace

[shoulder2lean]

Nothing wrong with that my friend!!! Wooo whoooooo!!!!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, shoulder2lean - next time I'll take it a little slower though methinks. Peace

[Bobini64]

Yikes! Put on a black turtleneck sweater, dark glasses and beret...somebody slap some bongos because Elenor Rigby has just gone BEATNIK! Thump....I just fainted.

[zzzzzzzzap]

hahaha -- I hate 'lol' but I did genuinely laugh out loud when I read your comment. You're a funny lady. Thanks Angie

[Bobini64]

I forgot to mention that I did shoulder lunges in the 'ole beatnik style of course and started slinking around the room! Love ya Fella.

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha.. Cheered me up this morning Bobini64

[auralai]

Don't apologize for covering a song (brilliantly if I do say so myself). Some people are bound not to like it, that's the risk you run doing a cover. Can't win them all! You did it in your own style and I happen to be in love with your style. Keep inspiring! <3

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much -- yet there is most certainly a danger there. I'm glad most people seemed to enjoy it. Peace

[dionsansoucie]

wow bro!!!!!great cover!!!! u da man!!!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers Dion, thanks for checking this out. Peac

[TheSkalla16Files]

nope. im a huge beatles fan, HUGE. but i didnt like this

[zzzzzzzzap]

That's fine. It's always a danger when covering legendary Beatles tunes.. Thanks for stopping by though. Peace

[metalmaiden310]

Wow... very interesting and original! I like it alot!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, metalmaiden310. Glad it didn't offend.. wouldn't want to offend those Beatleites! Peace

[dm294]

Awesome cover!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, dm294, glad you enjoyed. Peace

[lobnico]

Hey, I heard many of your songs and I find your playing style f###ing amazing.But I think you should try to push your voice further; I wanna

hear you screaaaaaam YEaAAAaAAhhhh.

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha.. maybe on the next post, yeah? Peace

[GermGreen]

Glad to hear you have a myspace account up and running finally - YAY!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks, GermGreen, and thanks for the friends invite.. I don't really know where to start to be honest ~ I'll get there :P

[jimski123]

but back to your cover....thank you so very much for the most excellent rendition...its amazing bro....ill try and post an original weds or thurs.....but im tellin you it will be doo dooooooo

[zzzzzzzzap]

....I think this thing we've got going may help (?) .. maybe not. Maybe it'll allow you the chance to start and scrutinize your writing. From the bits you've put up so far I know there's something there - just immerse yourself in it.. Peace

[jimski123]

Kris that was amazing my friend.  Seriously this is a very dreamy feeling cover....with the subtle keyboard and that ride or open hi hat...i need your training....teach me. but seriously i wish i had a tenth the amount of talent you possess buddy. I really want to write more and quit doing so many covers but i dunno how you do it man....you just crank out class material....it takes me 230948038 years to come up with a verse that im satisfied with.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I'm sure you're being too hard on yourself jimski - but I completely know where you're coming from. I don't know where you 'are' writing wise but I couldn't write for buggery but I kept at it. I'm not saying I'm any good now but I'm certainly a lot happier with what I come up with. Just keep at it I say....

[Winnorf]

Why aren't you on the cover of Rolling Stone!

[zzzzzzzzap]

They asked me but I turned em down, Winnorf :P hahahaha.. sorry. Peace

[mrrad1]

***** stars. That was good.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, mrrad1. Thanks for the stars. Peace

[guitarlord2012]

A lil fast...if you slowed it down a bit i would like it a lot more.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I know what you're saying, guitaralord2012.. I think it was the medication or something but I listened to this a couple of hours after posting and considered pulling it. If I ever re-record I will most definitely slow down though - good point. Peace

[gersing]

I never heard of this song by Beatles but you sung it with awesomeness. I just also checked the original by Beatles, and you made this song so unique and special. 5* and I know that you will make big as a singer. When you make a CD, please make sure to include Certainty in Freedom. My folks, including me, love that song a lot.

[zzzzzzzzap]

You're kidding me, gersing? You never heard Eleanor Rigby? You've been missing out but at least you got to check it out now. Thanks so much for your lovely words - Certainty will most definitely be going on. Peace

[metalmaiden310]

Holy crap! You have never heard this song by The Beatles... GO FIND IT NOW AND LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[gregonline6506]

Yeah, good job. I played that song so many times, this is some very intense version. I love it. Keep grooving man.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, gregonline6506, I will most certainly do my best. Peace

[strat2caster]

wow i am awesticken bro! i love your take on this classic but moreover the orchestration blew me away man, WoW! fived and faved *****

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, Strat; that means a lot.. thanks for the fave. Peace

[Snuilp]

A great cover! Played very original! You have a really great talent! :D

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, Snuilp; thanks for stopping by and watching. Peace

[winewanker]

Zap, good job, brother

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, winewanker. Glad you enjoyed. Peace

[markasda]

big beatles fan and you did the song justice. nice.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks, markasda, that means a lot. Peace

[Linerideroxs]

yay zzzzzzzzzzap another good one

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks muchly, Linerideroxs, glad you enjoyed this one. Peace

[Galefox]

amazingly well done, mate

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, Galefox. Peace

[Durgeofcerberus]

let maek sexytime?

[zzzzzzzzap]

I've got a headache.. Sorry

[Bobini64]

LOL Now who is the funny one! ;)

[guardian1111]

So talented. You're going far. I'd like just one percent of the money you'll make one day.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, guardian1111, what a nice thing to say. I wouldn't quit the day job just yet though.. haha

[guardian1111]

You're right. Not just yet. But your on the track to stardom. Don't doubt it!!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Truly made this one your own. I very much hope Macca watches the various covers of his tunes here on YT. Macca! You out there? Please, if you are, throw a comment out to Z here! I think you did a stellar job finding a new voice for this familiar, beloved Beatles standard. The halting rhythm, rushed phrases lend to a sense of frenetic urgency. The dreamy Rhodes keyboard helps cement this eclectic, wonderful mix! Your skills at recording are ever improving, too! Thanks Buddy, Jon

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Jon. That'd be crazy wouldn't it? Good old Sir Paul.. Glad you enjoyed the cover Jon, always nice to hear what you think of my posts. Peace

[slammyjammy38]

WOW! Really Cool! This is great :)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Slammy. Hope you're well. Peace

[Eddie629]

An awesome cover Zap !!!..I like those dissonant sounding chords...really did make it different but also very GOOD !!!Excellent !!!...you really can't go wrong with The Beatles..do you have a drum kit too ?...Awesome !!!*****

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers Eddie. No drum kit but I'm a mean keyboard drummer. I don't really like using it but sometimes the track is just missing something so I add a little tambourine, which'll do until I have enough money to buy the real thing. Peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, directjinxy. Cheers for checking this out.. Peace

[periurban]

That was great, but I hope you got permission to cover the song!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Of course, me and Macca are bessie mates :P Peace

[naitrose07]

Once again you have set out to be an overachiever, Ha! Very nice rendition! Did you do the backing instrumentation as well (i.e. the drums and piano)? Oh and thanks for sending me over to jimski, he does real nice work.
