  • Aslan is a fantastic band - we're very lucky in Dublin that so many talented artists originated from here - it sure makes it an interesting and colourful city! Christy is so talented - God, I can only hope and pray he stays off heroin - we love you Christy!

  • Stay off the fuckin' drugs Christy - you can do better than this!

  • aslan IRISH IRISH IRISH

  • So thats jealous guy / angie / wish you were here...may as well kill stairway next christy.

  • im a dubliner living in scotland and my aslan cds are in the jukebox in the local pub. i got people in to them. they like them. they have their favourite songs they play on the juke box. they even have aslan on their ipods.they said they would love to see them live after seeing them on you tube. they say they rock so theres proof they have support elsewhere and another reckons they were hard done by after he read the book. he said they should have had a CHANCE.

  • Aslan are fantastic live, saw them a couple of weeks ago. Stay clean and sober Christy, ur a credit to urself, ur family and ur country!

  • If you're gonna come on this and talk shit about Aslan or Christy then just keep your opinions to yourself. They're by far the best thing to ever come out of Dublin and they never forgot their roots. People comin on this and makin stupid comments about smack are dickheads. Stop lookin for attention like. The lads have achieved more than you ever will. Keep up the good work and I'll see yiz on the 2nd of July in Vicar Street. :D

  • video stops half way trough WHAT THE HELL??????

  • aslan are the best thing to come out of finglas by far as for u2 christy was smack on in his made in dublin d.v.d (christys worrds) u2 didnt come from finglas they came from a little oasis outside finglas sure who cares u2 are shit

  • @toaster650

    Let's stop putting our own down, I'm a South Sider but I still have plenty of time for both U2 and Aslan

  • well done aslan well better than the original all i can say is wow

  • the best thing to come out of finglas fuck u2 they dont deserve to be as famous as they are i think aslan should be reconised more than u2 but thats life

    p.s keep up the hard the hard work chris i9m fighting my deamons

    to its not easy but we all have to look forward keep it up mate well done !!!!!

  • good version of the song, Christy has a great voice.. although the video looks like a bad episode of fair city.. 

  • what a top top song...

  • gobshites

  • best group to come out of ireland .if you disagree go see them before you leave a comment

  • i like this

  • Great cover !

  • this is brilliant!! savage aslan are way bettr than U2 enof said tere and aslan are brilliant live!! there class!!

  • aslan are the best going there not appriated eneough am i ritw or what??????

  • @SusanJade03 nah your wrong

  • aslan are great but no way as good as u2

  • @cheekcongo You ever give over pal theyr way better

  • fair play to all who said aslan are better than u2 i thought i was the only 1 shame they arent up there on the international stage seen these guys more than 10 times and ive never seen 1 bad show yet they always put on a great nite out

  • he has some voice for a smack-head!!

  • @papbaffle you have shitty attitude for a knobhead!

  • there better dan U2 but wers there millions

  • rip git

  • Heroin.

  • somehow i like this version :D

  • This is actually a very good cover of what is, in my opinion, clearly one of Lennon's most incredible songs. With this type of song, t's good to stay more true to it in a cover, and not to change it too much (for example, Roxy Music's cover of "Jealous Guy" is way too upbeat to capture the true meaning of the lyrics). Kudos to Aslan! (named after the famed lion from the Chronicles of Narnia?)

  • this is a lennon killer

  • Well done Christy and the lads love ye excellent version irelands best

  • this song killed the radio.

  • love aslan and this song , best song sung by tehem

  • love yas keep it up :):)

  • my band is supporting them on sunday :)

  • These lads are so fukn good.....nuff said

  • savage

  • I lot of emotions put into that song great job,great voice..

  • Wow, what a great voice! The harp solo blew me away, of course no one does the whistling part. The video itself was fantastic and emotional, love the black and white.

    Lennon would be proud I am sure!

    Rock on.

  • aslan are well better than U2 enough said.

  • What are you talking about corpodeek ASLAN are brill and the best band i have ever seen live you must be fooking deaf

  • So Good!

  • they are great, fuck u nay sayer

  • only reason they didn make it big was the drug scandal that rocked the band..which as far as i know banned them from performin in countries outside ireland..im nt 2 sure bt they are quality...im addicted 2 dis tune

  • I was glad to see Aslan doing well when I was in back in Dublin.The last time I'd seen them was back at The Judge&Jury "long time ago" .We'd have about 200 people to play to ,usually wild ,"give my regards to Vinny if he's still alive "

    I wish Aslan even more success that they deserve .I knew Cristy was a dedicated trooper back then and it paid off .

    And this is dam good version of that song

  • Love dis song so much

  • This is the best version in my opinion ... it just works .

  • his so talnted love him xxx

  • He didnt use autotune. hes a good singer without it. However this is a terrible cover. Completely fails to capture the emotion of the song. to put it simply - it sounds far to happy and poppy. its not that kind of song.

  • Love this song so catchy! :)

  • Will someone please uploald the Made In Dublin concert in Vicar Street

  • I think they woul have been bigger than U2 if Christy had stayed out of trouble. They rape John Lennon with this. So so much better than his version. Don't care how many thumbs down I get or what anyone says

  • @CottonEyedJoe1803 totally agree, far better than U2

  • aslan are the fucken buisness theres nothin better than sittin in a session whackin on the aslan and havin a fuckin singsong haha keep it up christy and the boys

  • this gimp ZyIHW hasn't a fucking clue aslan are 200 times better live than on any cd and everyone knows that

  • great song better than d original

  • perhaps you have not considered John's approval or not of Aslans cover to working class and proud Dublners.

  • @ZyIHW: I'm a Beatles/Lennon fan and I thought this was a lot different from the original. The pace/tempo and the overall digital sound quality in comparisson to the analogue recording of the past. Also, Dignam has a distict voice and fans of Aslan will recognise it straight away. Aslan have a lot of young fans too, and this is a great way to be introduced to Lennons work.

    In regards to the auto-tuning remark. Well, one only has to hear Dignam sing live to know that he doesn't need to use it.

  • @DieMensch: Thank you very much for replying in a polite and reasonable manner. I am an avid Lennon fan too, and I don't much like this cover, but if others are convinced it is sufficiently different, I'll accede defeat.

    PS: You too poshknacker.

  • @ZyIHW: Thanks for the reply. I respect your thoughts on the track.I understand how you feel. I dislike when covers are just covers with nothing fresh and innovative brought to the table. Easy All Stars 'Dub Side of The Moon' is a great testament making something new and fresh out of the original recording, yet respectfuly honouring the greatness of the original.

  • @DieMenschMaschine85 Fat chance of that happening with such a dull reactionary band as Aslan

  • Aslan....The biggest crime in irish rock history...This band has nothing to prove...It realy hurts that aslan are not one of the biggest bands in the world....its just one of those things...a bit like Jimmy White never winning the world snooker championship.......CRIMINAL...­.

  • @corpodeek .. Dead right dude, so true. So much talent but the lifestyle just took over on Christy's behalf. However still to this day they'd play with so much passion and love for the music they play that it wouldn't matter if they were playin to 200 people or 20,000.. Same connention with the crowd! It really is musical injustice how they aren't more well known.. Six days to zero - Prob in my top 10 favourite songs EVER!!!

  • @corpodeek agree such a gr8 band(one up side is getting tickets to see them for 15 euro in a local pub:D)

  • @corpodeek It's simple really, Jimmy white wasn't good enough and neither are Aslan

  • Comment removed

  • @SeanyW1888 its just that their self penned material is outstandingly mediocre and they know it hence the cover versions which any bar band could do as good if not better, the Jimmy White comparison made by that other geezer is pathetic...why? cos Jimmy had talent... ".criminal" my arse, shite more like

  • @SeanyW1888 you my friend should lay off the strong cheese before bed im not even a fan of aslan and when i see them live the hairs on the back of my neck stand up anyone who says aslan are badclearly havnt heard them live

  • i seen christy doin pub gigs with a cd playin the music in spain when aslan had broken up.......and iv seen some of the biggest bands in the world...and those little gigs are still amongst the best iv ever been to.....pure class!

  • i agree dey are great live..but christy lived the rock nd roll lifestyle b4 he made it bigger..if he hadn they woulda been up there wit U2...

  • christy d legend! walked into d lamb 2nite in his bare feet. Aslan =legends!!!

  • Very good cover... shame about the video!...

  • He's got a good voice!

  • class

  • I bought Christy Dignam a choc- ice and a packet of milky moo once and did he ever pay me back when he got famous ? Did he Fuck!!!! Good cover though. odemevol from finglas

  • This is a brilliant version of this song. Works great live, thats when Aslan are in there Element! Cracker of a gig at Puck Fair, I was in the front row, waited around for 3 and a half hours for that. I had the Dublin flag with the logo on it. Aslan are one of the best lives band ever!

  • I just love you guys..... LEGENDS....

  • good song

  • Brilliant song, Aslan are a true original band:)(I know this is a cover)

  • Still rocking Christy fair play great version love it

  • Awesome song

  • Well John The High King has managed to offend every Aslan fan that has read his comments. I think having gone in and looked at his account, its safe to say that Johns video making skills are no better than the director of this videos. Not even a ten year old would bother filming the juvenile behaviour displayed in your videos. As for us fans not being smart, I have a Degree. I dont wear ONeills tracksuits or rugby jerseys. Also, id like to know what you think there fans are known for?

  • the reson she likes pink is maybe shes a girl

  • Comment removed

  • It's none of your business what music she likes!

    She's not judging your taste in music or attempting to judge your IQ level from what music you listen to, to be quite honest only a retard would do something like that...and only a childish fool comes on here to pick fights with people, is that the only way you can get some attention? Sad!

  • your just a jealous guy...enough said!

  • oh christ,are you 12?

  • they sing it fuckin deadly but i think john lennon is a bit better

  • i think its quite decent cover,fair play lads

  • iiiiiiiiii love aslannnnnnnnnnnnn wooooooooooooo

  • Good on ya bhoys!

  • Christy just gets better with age 5 stars

  • And you wouldn't. Yep just give up and work and Mac D's.

  • Learn the English Language? Well, you've probably made more mistakes in your reply than I did in my orginal comment.

    You said "do anything for to pay the mortage." What are they doing differently now, than they were 10 years ago? Believe it or not, music is a business.

  • Yeah, I see your point, the main songwriter left a year or two ago so that's probably why.

    I'm quite framiliar with BJM. and I listen to alot more music that's far from pop and covers such as Aphex Twin.

  • Actually, i think they are releasing covers and a cover album because the fans of aslan, one of which you clearly aren't, wanted them to.

    And i'm sure if you got the chance to be doing what they are doing, you'd try and please your fans as best you could, which is what the album is.

    All the fans picked the songs on the album, therefore aslan are quite smart in the way they are doing what they love.

  • nah they are mad for money,their fans are not known for being smart anyway.........keep giving your money to a pub covers band.....

  • Alright there mr. fuckin music snob.. If ya think they are shite, why bother comin on to their video and posting ridiculous comments?? I really don't see the point.

    And as for your crazy theory on aslan fans not being smart, where the fuck do you get off saying that? I think you'll find that aslan are actually quite a favourite around colleges in ireland, somewhere you wouldn't be familiar with.

    Anyway aslan top notch cover, love the new album bought it yesterday, keep it up for us FANS!

  • fagot

  • no ur jus a fagot

  • well sorry mister were not all posh and have shite taste in music

  • y say on an aslan video and say they are crap when they are clearly not?probably because u have nothing better to do wit your life than correct people's spelling.and u said "if aslan were any good they would have made it outside of Ireland"...and what have you done with your life thats so great?

  • i here u brother

  • Your being pretty small minded yourself, altought your entitled to your opinion on the video and Aslan as musicians, your not providing any backing for your opinions and who said a music video has to be complicated or have a complex story line? I rather like the video and my reasons for like it is firstly I think the idea really goes with the song and its something alot of people can relate to also the 3 guys who made it did so on a budget of 27 euro! Done it all off their own backs
