Psycho Killer - Velvet Revolver

[precious121383]

This fucking...rocks!!!

[Misducky03]

mmm there a great band, but the original one with the Taking heads sounds better... it has like a more disturbing sound to it... I mean it´s just my humble opinion...

[DirtyDiana7]

Much better than original. More kick.

[rooneykotwn]

murders the song, cage the elephant has a sick cover of it though.

[shaokingdom]

Duff arrebenta em qualquer banda

[1999zodiaco]

Muito manero,slash não esta como antes mais ainda é o melhor na guitarra, lógico

[devastationblackchri]

fafafafafafafafafafafafafafafa



[agustin4741]

No se que dicen... la version Velvet es mucho mejor que la original, no hablemos de la voz que es mucho mejor... el tema es que en este covr falta una parte al principio

[lordsundays]

SHIT!......"TALKING HEADS THE BEST"

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

never heard of velvet revolver before, now i know why! this is terrible......

[JudgeEden]

@HappyBirthdaySANTA

Not anymore terrible than the original version.

[IceTiger161]

oh dear. -_______-

[coldplayfan1001]

Good cover...that all

[The1337BBQ]

Original is so much better.

[pampiwalker]

MALISIMO!

[yoyi01]

un asco eso que me gustan los velvet revolver pero cada uno a lo suyo dejemos a david byrne este temazo por favor jajaja me dio asco

[MrHunterofcoloridos]

melhor que o guns atual!!

[Luu5594]

Love this cover

[flyawaychewy]

i mean song people!

[SLASHdaROCKER]

I honestly don't see why anyone can dislike this.

[flyawaychewy]

@SLASHdaROCKER i think this osng is even better than the original one

[flyawaychewy]

@SLASHdaROCKER i mean song dude

[rainbowXXdaemon]

decent cover, but it's always going to be hard to beat the original. this one doesn't quite manage that.

furthermore, this song /is/ psycho killer, pretty much. why give it a different name? that's just silly.

[pennydesouza]

No menace.

[sucktastic]

Jesus this is bad.

[bergice1]

Ok to be honest this really wasn't that good. I think it's because you can't just convert a suuuuper funky song into hard rock.

[pennydesouza]

@bergice1 Mm I think you're right.

[sting729]

You have to be shittin' me

[rosalbina188]

love both versions.. maybe cos the song is very good!

[SaturnineGirl]

This is just awful.

[marcsbarea]

Cage the elephant's version is waaay better, I don't like this...

[Kissito27]

fuckin' awesome cover!!

[memoeslink]

This version is good, but David Byrne's voice in the original, rocks. :D

[WCarnation]

Terrible, totally took the groove out of the original and threw in some buttrock

[vazovevelik]

@WCarnation just kill yourself

[ohso1907]

i hate this band why because they waste slash and etc. and copy paste to guns(revolver) n roses(velvet) i think they lost their rock'n soul

[kakashi76767]

god, why slow the song down? speed it up if anything!

[ThePhilosopher1996]

In general it's said ''Original version is better''...but it totally sucks.

[The1337BBQ]

@ThePhilosopher1996 because you have no quality in your taste.

[ybrik222]

Blecccccccch.

[2nd2lastatthefront]

Absolutely phenomenal - reflection of a great song - and the totally original treatment by an awesome ensemble of pure talent. 100% art all the way around! 

[Revolver271]

I LOOOVED this version. It's so much more sexier than the orignial. You can't touch the original, but this is a great version of it.

[MrCrazyguy145]

This song makes me think of Jeff Dahmer and Ted Bundy.

The good looking psycho killers.

[gwynneveireland]

thanks, i love this. talking heads is good,too, but i love vr. thanks again.

[matrixx860]

ok really Slash and Axel need to talk!

[Luxmaxnike]

@matrixx860 and you need to shut up

[matrixx860]

@Luxmaxnike you need to get real, together they formed the best rock band of all time! You can stay true to this Clint Eastwood wanna be so you shut and if you reply back then your truly gay!

[Luxmaxnike]

@matrixx860 i like scott and stp, but i never said he fits VR. Even though guns being one of the best rock bands ever, slash will never be back in it and your comment is stupid. btw his name is AXL moron.

[matrixx860]

@Luxmaxnike Yeah I saw my mistake and couldnt fix it, see I can admit that. You on the other hand cant admit that your just a big fag who likes Clint Eastwood!

[TheFriendlyfinger]

Gag me with a spoon! I'm sure EVEN Axl would do a better job than these clowns.

[Blizzard374]

I Love Velvet revolver Contraband i now one my top 10 albums But sorry to say that their Psycho killer is a terrible version . David Burne Makes this song come to life

[hobieslug45]

we can all agree that the original is better and for those who don't agree don't force me to use the thumbs down button

[StevieRay8694]

Love it.

[Drshanaynay]

The original prevails but as for covers, cage the elephant wins

[Frikgeek]

the base line was the best thing in the original. i just can't hear it here. to each his own i guess.

[glimmertwin1977]

...a couple of notes - one, this is just too slow for the arrangement. Two, the odd vocal delivery and tenseness of the rhythm in the original is gone and that was the whole point-that Byrne was just off kilter enough that you thought he might be a REAL psycho. The way they approached this makes me think VR just don't "get it". This is the kind of cover you would expect from a band trying to be more dangerous sounding than they really are but I guess its expected from guys way past their prime

[CCRockit]

@glimmertwin1977

Is someone strong arming you to watch/listen to this?

[oscarockA7X]

velvet revolver no queda con esta rola ¡¡¡ les falta punch¡¡¡

[kahlom19]

Cage The Elephant did a much better cover of this song.

still.... Talking Heads wins.

[Rayven10]

This sounds like it was dumbed down for some lame police TV show.

[sydbarret1973]

fuck this band for raping and buggering the original.....................t­alking heads rule

[SuperBrainJuice]

lol'd @ the description

[GaaraShadowLuver]

I like this one just not as much as I like the original. :/ This cover is waaaaay to slow for my liking when compared to the original.

[jumblejimble]

good cover is good

[RockinRollTrain]

I liked this song... till I found out Talking heads fans are elitist assholes...

[falaqdad15]

@RockinRollTrain

we're not. kind of weird for a hard rock band like this to cover a new wave song. it's kind of a slap in the face to us, or a punch. they bring on this hardcore, distorted, bass-heavy tonality to a song and a genre which never really had that. it puts a pathetic, weak image on New Wave music.

[athecheat]

cover version FAIL

[Metalero556]

What the fuck is this?

[NYCDiGiSnAcKs82]

you's dont know how rediculous and stupid you's all sound lmao. it dont even sound like a cover. you idiots can all sit on and boof your bias opinions.

[paramore364]

Velvet Revolver does the best cover of this song.

[DANACABANA]

why ?



[SenatorClaytonDavis]

Somebody poured syrup in the amplifier or something? Terrible cover!

[CCRockit]

@SenatorClaytonDavis

Its called slide guitar.

[george21mate]

Just a nice cover

[Araclain]

You just completely ruined a great song. Plenty of people have defiled this song, but you have insulted David Byrne by just posting.

[AlegouveiaII]

@Araclain stop being such a fag! those slide guitars are the own pasycho killer! i know that fag fans of TH can't accept that this song can be played so heterossexualy...but they've made it!

[anoukwakely]

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through commercials?

Remember when videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!

[S3mperFid3lis]

@anoukwakely I still can watch videos without commercials. On any website.

[mrAdalkall]

@anoukwakely why does anyone even care? you can still watch your vids you are NEVER going to succeed in this start a revolution about something that´s actually important.

[Akkeree]

@anoukwakely

Users controlled the site? Since when? We don't own YouTube. Unless you're an investor in the stock, or a manager or some shit, you really didn't have as much control as you thought.

And are you really complaining about the description's location? Really? Wow.

[sixstringmat]

@anoukwakely wtf??

[juan13579run]

this version sound like country...the original version is better and more deep..

[AliBarnesTV]

@juan13579run Agreed

[ChicagoBlackHawks04]

he does look like bowie and what the fuck was with slash playin at the super bowl with those fag

that chick butched that song i could do a better job she is hot tho

[nbritos1988]

duff looks like david bowie.

[BettyBoom13]

me i like this version better..

[IlikepurpleXP]

meh, i like the original better. And im not those type of people who like the original versions more just to "pay respects to it" or whatever.. i think the guitar just drowns the vocals too much.

[NnysVelvetRevolver]

love the song, but is that french?

[anoukwakely]

@NnysVelvetRevolver he sais before the fafafa thing, que-ce'est ce. that is french and it means ''what is that''

i think....

[NnysVelvetRevolver]

@ColoredPig

yea, but later he sings like 4 lines in french l i wanna kno what that means but im too lazy to even try translating...

[NnysVelvetRevolver]

@NnysVelvetRevolver

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la

Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la

Realisant mon espoir

Je me lance, vers la gloire

What does this mean exactly?

[ColoredPig]

@NnysVelvetRevolver

it means in english...

"What I did, that evening

What she said, that evening

Fulfilling my hope

Headlong I go for glory"

[NnysVelvetRevolver]

@ColoredPig

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

i've been wondering this for so long!!

[Noseheros]

@NnysVelvetRevolver "What I did, that evening

What she said, that evening

Fulfilling my hope

Headlong I go for glory... OK" is a direct translation...from wikipedia

[anoukwakely]

@ColoredPig ohh, thank you, french is right up my arse :P

[slimyesli]

@anoukwakely qu'est ce que c'est he says

[anoukwakely]

@slimyesli i know, byt i'm not good in french so i can't spell it :()

[slimyesli]

@anoukwakely hehe

[anoukwakely]

@slimyesli and i don't pay attention in class, and listen to my ipod. Suddenly the teacher came up to me and alsked if i wanted to turn '''my mp3'' player off. i was listening to this song and saik: '' But it's french!''

i still had to take em of though, she got really mad.

[slimyesli]

@anoukwakely haha tell er " SHUT BITCH AM A PYSHCO KILLER!

[anoukwakely]

@slimyesli LOL! yeah! i'll get in to serious trouble though,,, WHO FUCKING CARES?

[NnysVelvetRevolver]

i like this one more..sorry?

[bam9422]

I just found out velvet revolver covered this but i still like the original better.

[Gen2far]

I thought talking heads wrote it and I'm 50. Velvet revolver had no use for MTV in 1981. I suck not knowing that.

Good job both of ya .

[herozackxX]

this version is better i like it better

[AlegouveiaII]

alternative people are goin' nuts! i lile the original but those slide guitars are the own psycho killer!!

[hoyosrocksyeah]

this sucks, the best cover is from the ukulele orchestra of great britian!

[InneruulaqKreutzmann]

I don´t like this vision. I rather to hear the original Psycho Killer. Please hear Talking Heads- Psycho Killer.

[nyxiathewarrior2]

I think this one at least does the original more justice than that James Hall version. Nobody can top David Byrne, though.

[musethemusclemuseum]

@nyxiathewarrior2 I bet Arcade Fire could

[elginxxxman]

Scott Weiland's fucking sexy

[claylev13]

It's better than I expected. Talking Heads are a hard act to follow. VR seems to have made it their own and it shines.

[TheXxxWaterfallxxx]

and why dont you like this version??its gr8!!!

[edwest82]

I liked!

[CrazyH2182]

Eh not loving this... stay in your lane VR

[SackPig]

its too slow

[SuperLeandro95]

muy buena cancion

[beefy142]

worst thing ive ever heard, possibly. bastardizing real rock and roll.

[melodel2]

Who originally wrote this?

David Byrne is talented with his own songs, but turning THIS into something so much better lol that's amazing.

[fender9474]

@melodel2 Talking Heads

[An007dy]

OMG how bad is that?! Makes me laugh really hard... Velvet Revolver is soooooo embarrassing!!

[wizorz]

3:11 WTF PIC?

[MARCOKIKO65]

A única música que eu gostei com o Velvet Revolver foi este cover do Talking Head!

[shredurguitar]

THIS IS AN AWSOME COVER!

[hammerman7777]

NOT even close! 

[ALFAFLACO]

Covesr are for loser without creativity

[10cristhian]

muy buena rola gran video es muy bueno para esta epoca de hallowen!!!

very good rola great video is great for this Halloween season!

[deigismon]

don´t like.

[maptik]

Both versions are great, no need to fight for them. But you guys have to admit something, original versions are always better than covers, and if you dont think that way, well its your personal opinion, the 80% everyone thinks originals > covers.

[thehornypuppy]

@maptik That comment is dumb on so many levels...

[maptik]

@thehornypuppy Can I know why?

[PEZEMILIO]

@maptik Most of the time, I guess, but come on, Cocaine and Layla by Eric Clapton, or on the heavy side, Metallica's Garage Inc had some better ones, most notably (in my humble opinion of course) Whiskey in the Jar. Idk, really depends.

[lookout4kneegrows]

@PEZEMILIO metallica raped that whisky in the jar song. maybe its just me but i don't see a need for metal versions of classic folk songs, what are they gana do next this land is your land?

[977eli]

@lookout4kneegrows Hey, James didn't ruin the song, Just cause you didn't like it doesn't mean it sucks. Besides, There are a lot of fans who love the song.

[lookout4kneegrows]

@977eli i didnt say i didnt like there version. i said it was rape of a classic folk song. the dubliners are rolling in their graves

[hekiryuu1]

@maptik you know, 67% of all stastics are made up on the spot.

[hekiryuu1]

@maptik you know, 67% of all statstics are made up on the spot.

[MrBufondelaverdad]

yo tengo una version distinta para verla hagan clik en mi nick

[RelaxProducions]

This Cover Is Property Of Cage The Elephant WTF!!

[fakespotter]

check out kate miller's version. blew my mind

[Vispo84]

Talking heads are way better!

[thecocktailnation]

Weak boring cover.

[MrSpacecabbage]

bad version by a BAD BAND dont attempt classics stick to the crap you usually burden us with

[J1MIK]

This is not bad, but the original is way better

[5henangn]

gay......check out DILANA...best rearrangement ever!!!! sorry dudes..

[saintrico]

I love Slash, but when with guitarists learn that doing a cover louder and with more distorted guitars doesn't necessarily make it better?

[RantzinmyPantz]

These guys were so cocky for such a shitty band, too many chiefs and no song writing ability, Talking heads on downers, goddamn elevator version.

[cocomonkeh]

This is good for a boring, tone deaf, remake.

[alexvirtual]

10 times better than the original (personal opinion)

[matthewteague]

i hate velvet revolver and all you motherfuckers who call this shit a cover long live talking heads

[RockdeOliveiraBr]

GREAT! Best of all performances.

[andrekkezero]

muy buen cover...

[elginxxxman]

This is really cool!

[jcdixon97]

Sounds like it's being played in a cassette player with low batteries. This is dissappointing and I usually like VR.

[2000oblivion]

not a bad cover

[FiendishMinx]

It'd take a damn bad cover to ruin this song... never heard a bad cover version though... yet!

[FielderDreams]

great song, but my band does it better ;) check it out!

[kysna777]

i haven't heard a bad version of this song!

[TheGoldenTear]

aewsome song

[teechef]

not even close

[lishuss]

no thank you.

seriously, the bass line isn't all that attractive and that's what made the original so goddamn badass.

granted the rest of it isnt all that bad, but its just really irksome, too much for me to like the song

[kpsrcyhcrcwr]

I like some cover songs, but the emotion put into the original by david Byrne makes this sound like someone is taking a crap and singing at the same time. Just FYI i listen to and like Velvet Revolver.

[orangepantherattack]

i like velvet revolver but this doesnt compare to the orignal

[crazycrawler85]

talking heads needs to thank scott for fixing their song

[sjifhjfjgoijs]

Terrible cover.Nothing wrong with velvet revolver though

[luckynumber58]

thank you malested chimp

[MEDIABLITZPANDAA]

scott weiland<3 is so hot

[bujintao1]

i love davids best but this is in every way as good

[RebelK27]

Tis is a great cover. I love both versions

[ShadowReaper67]

@MAGGOTforSLASH thank you

[SirPwn4lot]

Urghh, personally I hate this version beyond belief. I don't hate all covers, I just hate this one :D

The original is infinitely better.
