I don't see if this was said prior to me... but I do see that someone said this song was penned by Badfinger... not correct. It was written by Paul McCartney.
So, now that I corrected the assumptions people made about this classic song (like that "the Beatles wrote this song" and that "this was originally a Beatles song," etc.) I can say that you did a great cover of a great cover!
When Def Leppard released their cover of this classic as a single, I was shocked!
Badfinger was the first rock band on the Beatles Apple label. The Beatles wrote "Come and get it" and "No matter what" for Badfinger and both songs were giant hits for the band.
Yes it would have been great to hear a Beatles version of this song, but the rights were given to Badfinger and so both are right. This song belongs to the Beatles and to Badfinger, but Badfinger doesn't suck. LOL. They are actually very talented especially if the Beatles signed them on.
hotshit1960: Actually, Paul McCartney wrote "Come and Get It" while Badfinger's Pete Ham wrote "No Matter What."
The Beatles had nothing to do with the writing of this song. In fact, on a CD of Pete Ham's demos, which was released sometime in the 90's, there's an early version of this song with just Ham's voice and one acoustic rhythm guitar. As I already said, the Beatles did NOT have anything to do with writing this song.
fuzzygreenballs: gatogirlie is right--"No Matter What" is a Badfinger song. It was written by Pete Ham, who was also one of the co-writers (along with Tom evans) of the song "Without You," which wasn't made famous by Badfinger and, instead, made famous by Harry Nilsson.
Anyway, "No Matter What" is a Badfinger song--not a Beatles song. The only association the Beatles had to "No Matter What" is that Badfinger was signed to Apple Records when this song was released.
To all fans of Steve please mark any comments nmrebel04 makes with a spam and go to his site nmrebel04 which has nothing and send him a comment. We all like Steve, he is a great guy and talented artist and this JERK nmrebel04 is giving him a hard time. Vince hpviii
This is the best cover of the song on you tube from what i saw. didn't wimp out and turn it into an acoustic number, though the clark's version is pretty good.
The thing I've noticed is that,the way I learned the song,there's not that much difference in the way Badfinger did it,and the way Leppard did it. Am I right?
steve,don't listen to those negative comments!!..you know and they know that badfinger originally recorded this,but leppard still did an awesome cover.and now u did an awesome job as usual!..hats off to you,my friend!!..keep 'em coming!!!
Hey, cover of a cover or not he is still playing the cover of Def leppard the way THEY did it.....and he did it GREAT!! Who wantss to argue the tid bits other than someone that can't play maybe? Steve is a GREAT player and does it in ONE that is ONE take. He doesn't use a studio so it is LIVE so to speak. From #1 Fan Vince
I am gonna say this nicely, cause you seem like a cool kid. You're actually playing a cover of a cover. It was originally penned and performed by Badfinger, a much more important band than Def Leppard
@Rightsideup I cant really think of any reason why badfinger would be better than def leppard? Im gonna say this nicely cause you seem like a cool retard, def leppard is better than badfinger and there cover of the song is better.
BAD''DEF''FINGER GREAT VERSION,HEAVIER SOUND!!!!

Badfinger and Def had one terrible thing in common, tragedy, their lead singer committed suicide it was over money very sad.
