Strawberry Fields Forever (cover)

[Malifurios]

Did you alter your voice in any way?

[fredthejunkman]

@Malifurios - Just some delay.

[fredthejunkman]

@arselbert -Hmmmm....I think it might have something to do with todays digital quality gear. To me it doesn't sound as good as I always want my songs to sound. But we all hear things differently I suppose. thanx for the comment.

[fredthejunkman]

@arselbert - don't know what "to typical...." means.

[ScrapGoldBass]

very cool!

[fredthejunkman]

thanks el mucho SGB !

[ScrapGoldBass]

@fredthejunkman you are welcom-and you've gained a new subscriber.

[fredthejunkman]

@ScrapGoldBass - much appreciated! Merry Christmas to ya.

[mrsullyrox]

this rocks- forgot about it-Matt

[fredthejunkman]

thanks mate. you definitely helped shape it!

[Mozartrules]

honestly, the vocals are ok, but this is NOT a good version....they try to copy it the same way, in their own style....boring and predictable

[fredthejunkman]

thank you Simon Cowell......let's see what you can do!

[crazystarburyfan3]

this is amazing guys....i literally listen to this song more than the original. john would be proud

[fredthejunkman]

we thank you!

[crazystarburyfan3]

@fredthejunkman is there anyway i can get this on mp3?

[yanni235]

guitarist sounds like jimmy page

[fredthejunkman]

i think he's a distant cousin.

[darkredX13]

@yanni235 you mean the rhythm guitarist right? because the lead sounds nothing like what page would play, too 80's style

[guilmon182]

I love that you used a pic of John at "It doesn't matter much to me"! Perfect!

[fredthejunkman]

thanks much!

[chumbels]

those lead guitar fills are awesome.!!!!

[fredthejunkman]

Ja wohl! The guitarist is a monster!!

[theblehedgehog]

cool version, better that starwberry fields from Acroos the universe movie, cool guys :D.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks!

[insanelama]

this is like the beast cover ive heard of this song awesome job :D

[fredthejunkman]

thanks very much!

[iamamannow]

worst cover i ever heard of his song honestly

[fredthejunkman]

yeah, I see you've done nothing....those who can, do. those who can't, complain.

get a life dude.

[iamamannow]

it's teach, not "complain". anyway, i'm telling you something that's true instead of lying, so why are you trying to insult me?

[fredthejunkman]

not trying to insult you. in your mind, my version is the worst you've ever heard - that's cool. to each his own. have you ever heard the saying "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" 99% of us on YouTube are just having fun sharing our music. negative comments aren't appreciated. if you can do better, do it. otherwise keep quiet.

[chumbels]

dear iam, you're an idiot. you probally have no friends. and certainly have no taste. go die somewhere,

[madfer]

Amazing version!...congratulations!

[fredthejunkman]

thanks very much!

[berherbi]

wonderful version, you are really good. What equipment do you use to record , keyboards, guitars.... thks super !!!

berherbi

[fredthejunkman]

thank you very much. i use a yamaha keyboard, various guitars, Vegas Pro recording software, Studio Projects C3 mic, M-Audio monitors......

[Heeey333]

FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!

[aaaqqqquuuuaaaaman]

I liked the song for the most part, but the echoy-voice thing annoyed me and the images were pretty goofy (although I guess it's not about the video, eh?)

[fredthejunkman]

yeah.

[Miroku0000]

This is much better, Sounds more original and the voice is less stressed. Sounds good keep it up.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks for the input.

[sputtersong]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your amazing!

[fredthejunkman]

[fredthejunkman]

[goldhat3]

Hey FTJ and friends, this is great, 5 stars. Only one small problem, it is in tune all the way thru. Can you wobble it a little?

[fredthejunkman]

Next time I'll shake the keyboard player...

thanks for stopping by my friend!

[ming294]

Nice arrangement, nice vocals, nice playing, nice engineering and mixing. Nice everything. How much studio time did you use?

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks for commenting. From start to finish, maybe 5-6 hours total. The good thing is that studio time is free.

[doctorcastille]

Cranberry sauce !!!!

[fredthejunkman]

I thought I said 'Bob's yer uncle'!?

[sullyrock]

real FAB!

[stayleern]

Great! I liked some of the funny pics used for various parts of the lyrics, especially the Silicon Valley pic for "...nothing is real..." Too funny!

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks much, me dearest!
