Virtual Beatles-Happiness is a Warm Gun

[gabigrun]

Frenchy Touch and the boys killed it again! Fabulous!

[nnommadd]

weLL done !

[StarVoyager9]

Great Job Mr French.. You did a fine job on editing the harmonies, assuming thats what you did.

And I agree with Thrilla...if any of you psychos think you can master these songs like Virtual Beatles, Frenchy Touch and Jun do them , then all I have to say is...I dare you to even try! I defy you to be as great as these guys!

[frotenberguen]

the singer its pretty good but i think this song is out of his voice range

[jblackmd1]

beautifully done

[jdrubin89]

Does the singer even understand english?

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@jdrubin89 well if you think u can do better then get a group of other assholes just like you and perform this song and u can the lead asshole singer and then record it & upload it and We'll (YOUTUBE VIEWERS)view and say if it's good or not! until then shut up and that's my opinion!

[WaltHawtin]

@jdrubin89 Who gives a shit? Idiot. They are having a red go at this, I think its great. Dickhead.

[Beck10g]

Great Cover!

How do you record and combine all the videos in sync?

[Bumo27]

JOHN 1980: "A gun magazine was sitting around and the cover was the picture of a smoking gun. The title of the article, which I never read, was 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the idea of happiness after having shot somebody. Or some animal."

[Bumo27]

JOHN 1972: "They all said it was about drugs, but it was more about rock 'n roll than drugs. It's sort of a history of rock 'n roll... I don't know why people said it was about the needle in heroin. I've only seen somebody do something with a needle once, and I don't like to see it at all."

[Bumo27]

Paul continued: But it's just such a great line, 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' that John sort of took that and used that as a chorus. And the rest of the words... I think they're great words, you know. It's a poem. And he finishes off, 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun, yes it is.' It's just good poetry."

[Bumo27]

PAUL 1968: "The idea of 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' is from an advert in an American paper. It said, Happiness is a warm gun, and it was 'Get ready for the long hot summer with a rifle,' you know, 'Come and buy them now!' It was an advert in a gun magazine. And it was so sick, you know, the idea of 'Come and buy your killing weapons,' and 'Come and get it.'

[Bumo27]

This song has NOTHING to do with drugs. Read the following quotes from John and Paul:

[audiotrax2000]

Well done!

[ilmille]

AWESOME!!!! you guys are great!! =)

[berluismz]

Great job Guys!

[CMarkulis]

Instead of writing in on every video you did i´ll write it only here: GREAT!! Just great!

[nonnel64]

Will you cover I'M SO TIRED?

[Logales]

j'adore cette chanson, et cette version lui fait honneur :)

[Kridane]

I like that bass guitar, its always been my favorite since I heard the beatles.

[jordanerocks]

I comment here, but i heard other songs from this project bout beatles, YOU GUYZ RULE!

Great musicians!

And that singer is both personal and respectful of the fabfour vocals! GREAT SINGER and INTERPRETER!

GREAT JOB!

[solshower]

very fine job! I enjoyed it! well done

[setforvol]

Awesome

[SunTeleLeo]

I like this

[Jadesuchi]

Hey guys, did you know you're awesome?

Well you certainly are!

[TehInanimatePanda]

favorite beatles song ever!!!!

[952Kevin]

what country is the singer from?

[garyjaguar]

France

[Darkxarcher]

@952Kevin im geussing france... seeing as his name in "frenchytouch" :/ but i could be wrong

[sgtpeppers94]

you look like Dhani Harrison here! :O

[inshreds45]

Isn't it all the same person?

[azjeff1971]

This is the greatest masturbation anthem in history.

[zachhartwell]

dude wtf

[zachhartwell]

idk if u like jackin off to it but the song is about heroin. a loaded syringe of heroin is referred to as a warm gun.

[jonnyparolin]

Sorry Zach idk if u like doing herion to it, but the song is about shooting a gun. Well its actually Three songs put together but the line "hapiness is a warm gun" is something that Lenon read off the cover of a gun magazine. (a warm gun means you just shot something)

[dianitapilla]

I agree the "happines is a warm gun" is about the relief you feel after shooting. NOT ALL FOKING COOL SONGS ARE ABOUT DRUGS! this is pissing me off all the time a drug addict would come out with this nonsense.

[zoso7889]

In fairness a lot of the Beatles (In particular lennons) stuff had drug references. A warm gun means you shot something, and everyone knows the phrase to shoot herion, so its not that farfetched

[beatlfn]

very good job Mate! not an easy accomplishment to do at all, (I know) so, CHEERS to YOU! you love the Beatles, and IT SHOWS!

[hendrixandfloyd2]

the singer needs more life in his voice at parts.

[fatdogtavern]

Great job guys! Loved it.

[ZeeJules67]

He may be french, but it sounds great.

[WileERobby]

Disregard any of the brain-dead critics. I've been a Beatle fan since 2/9/64... you guys are absolutely fantastic !!

[TheLittlehyena]

very good!

[Chalino89]

nice nice

[NeonDorkiness]

Its awesome, but you need to work on accent

[Sleepinglikesheep]

i really like this man. bang bang shoot shoot

[cleric252]

good one man... love this song

[natehiggers88]

and not that i'm judging you or anything but loose the mexi-stache aka beaner -stache

[saintrichie]

I would've suspected no more intelligence from a comment suggesting a French singer "sounds really foreign".

[natehiggers88]

didn't know he was French, but now i know so thank you for giving me a really smart ass response ;P

[natehiggers88]

lol the singer sounds really foreign, so work on the diction and your annunciation, and at 2:00 you made me bleed from my ear holes kind sir...

[aecPleaserescueme]

I am very critical....WELL Done!

[nigelcollinmartinez]

you should tell that to everyone on youtube with cover videos of beatles song if you mean it.

this guy rocks.

[endicott3]

Cldfsn0200 and macarthur19 : Do me a favor, men : Go buy two ropes and hang yourselves from the nearest trees !

[Cldfsn0200]

cant sing like lennon man not really even close. Lacking overall musically and vocals are barely adequate.

[macarthur19]

It sounds like a giant fuck up at :27.

[markraishbrook]

Hardly giant. The lyric should be "multi-coloured mirrors on his hob nail boots". This is a fab cover.

[fanzappa]

the guy's french. he does not speak english.

[marcoballa]

great job!!!!!

i'm trying to do similar "one man band" things (all by my own)....

but you're fantastic!

[thickasabrick8]

nice job are u in a band ur a fucking talent!!!

keep rocking!!

[xuank]

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

LOVE THAT PART

[jordan1bonneau]

you can tell the singer is french, if you really listen to his vioce

[alvaromartorrebeatle]

Very Good job, I can see that you really know the song...congratulations

[gapthfc]

Isn't it all the same guy?

[RodEOpallo]

great job--playing, singing, everything..KEEP ROCKIN IT!

[jfred7374]

Nice job! The singing was great.

[TheTexanAtheist]

I second that =}  still good though. It would have been much better without that ugly face on video =D jk jk ...

[jungenbum]

I like the subtle change in time signatures in this song and the changes in tempo. Sick sick stuff!

[69nisab]

brilliant

[christiansisson]

great cover but you guys miss the last solo!

[61dodgelancer]

I like the singer two.

[MacGregor1991]

awesome, why do you talk bad about the singer?!?? I think he`s doing an awesome job, best cover i `ve ever seen, please go on this way.

[Londonator10]

Singers got no passion in the song at all. but he can sing it, i guess.

The rest of the band is great.

[grantaldn]

I love it!

[poussyledzep]

shit

[ulissegarnerone]

Fantastic.

[RingoDude66]

extraordinary performance!!! you played all the instruments?

5 stars.

[mynameisstevo]

just guitar. other dude plays bas

[jsilence418]

Those who can do, those who can't play mediocre covers .ditch the singer and you might find work!

[The12ismine]

awesome guys

[MoongrassNoel]

f*ck^n brilliant g*ddam this rocks!!! your talented mates

[LesPaulDude999]

i like the guitar solo. it sounds different than the original recording but at the same time the same, it makes it your own i guess you could say. 5*

[mrbungs]

this is great.

[felipepaluci]

Fantastic!!! You'd make a live presentation.. it would be one of the greatest cover bands!

[doorsforce]

HOLY SHET!!!

THAT WAS AWESOME!!

I DIDNT THINK YOU WERE GONNA HIT THE HIGH NOTE(cos i cant)FANTASTIC!

[TheHumanSpaceVolt]

This is so awesome

[lilmofodawg240]

sounds like the vocalist from belle and sebastian. nice.

[dude52]

What I would give to join you guys, but I'm not very good at playing. I am a perfectionist though and I try very hard to get all the guitar parts to sound like they do on the record.

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

[rickhorvath]

this singer.. not too good.

it's GOIN' DOWN, not GOING DOWN

[calista2010]

... and one thing.... where does it say in the book of how live that people who sing beatles songs HAVE to sound like them? Does every cover version sound like the original? No. You just sing it how you feel you wanna sing it.

[casaraku1]

@calista2010 No, they do not have to sound like them but what they are doing is recreating the live performance of the beatles... many songs from revolver and on where never performed outside the studio. I and many others would have loved to see them perform Tomorrow Never Knows, The white album, etc.... In classical music, orchestras around the world try to recreate the music of Bach, Chopin, etc.

in their honor and it is fun to play them as they were composed.... Cover bands are all over...

[calista2010]

hey, you are great. and dont let ANY negative comments get you down. those people could not do what you do. If they could they would send a link to THEIR youtube vid. All they CAN do is put the boot in so it makes them feel superior. Once again, this is by ANY standard, EXCELLENT ! gonna put you in me faves and look forward to other stuff you do.

[HM3]

Love this tune

[javortgon]

Un trabajo excepcional.

[xXRippedfaceXx]

sick guitar!

[megeler]

brilliant!

[ob2kanob]

Please redo with a more accurate/Lennonesque voice. Plant's voice is dead on in Zepplin videos. (if it's not too much trouble)

[primelimelite]

I concur!...and it doesn't help that he drags out the words so much either!

[metallijames]

Holy shit. You guys are mint. :)

This video definetly gets the gloomy, dark theme going.

[KukaJoe]

Jesus, do you own a guitar store or are those REALLY all yours? A new piece for every vodeo I see. What a collection of fine artillery! (Do I sound envious?) And GREAT JOB by the way.

[Johnnyguitar1234]

Jun only plays guitar. he has a virtual band with different members

[RockDudeRon]

Great Job

[vjd55]

I LOVE IT!!! i love it, i love it, i love it, i love it, I LOVE IT!!!

[amananta]

Joder, me pones los pelos de punta.

[beatlecrash14]

yea i love the songggggg

[victorecr1992]

esta muy bien el video man..sigue asii de la ptm

[rbjax2001]

wow, really nice all around. Way to hit that killer vocal towards the end.

[john92]

mother thuperior humped the gun

[john92]

are you a spanish speaker or what?

[fratellimarx]

G R E A T !!!!

[gtrmu]

NICE!

[jconnon]

Brilliant.

[giovis182]

just great...beautiful... i like so much n.n

[drutgat]

A great performance, and I usually don't like others' versions of Beatles songs (even my own, also posted here).

I think that you've got it all - performance abilities on many instruments; vocal abilities, and a style of your own.

And - unlike many of the people we both like - you can remember the words to the songs.

Thanks, once again

[Hear7endusk]

THAT IS SO KICK ASS.

[minorkatminor]

The Fab FIVE is a Beatles tribute band.

[johnjo1234]

the singers a freak

[Holodinimeo]

excelente trabajo! great work! Congratulations!

[segould]

You guys should try While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

[eninstantes]

man your awesome! 5 stars!

[trombone7]

That was shweet ! Utterly enjoyable, a worthy tribute.

[TopherBlairMusic]

The singer is awesome at it. Some people may be thrown off by the accent but it's nice, I think.

[Kpalmost]

the only problem i had with this song after watching this video a few time is when he says 'Line up the beer and jump the gun' (I think that's what he says) But John Lennon said 'Mother Superior Jump the gun' Besides that it was great!

[eikogo]

vocalist is lame

[Kpalmost]

Stop saying 'Get a New Singer' , 'Get a New Singer' This song is really hard to sing. If you want to compare your singing skills to this video then post a video response. BTW The singer did a great job. Good Job V-B!

[unclealbert72]

I have to agree.

Lennon had this wonderful ability to make it sound so easy and when you think you can duplicate it, lol... you almost feel bad for even trying!

But I thought he did a great job on this!

Anything you can cover off the White Album is points in my book, considering all those songs on there were never ment to be designed to perform live.

[pridenjoy59]

Fantastic! luvs!

[berluismz]

Great Job.

[marceloscoelho]

in the beggining, the singer doesn't sound very good, but in the rest of the music, he did a great job.

[mehlert52]

I think the singer did a great job, very tough song to sing and very distinctively a Lennon song. Not many vocalists can pull this one off. Great Job!!

[Olasqy]

Yes it is a difficult song to sing.

[seulbrey]

Get a new singer.... Good instrumental cover though!

[philipshield]

Great job guys,

Virtual Aerosmith coming? ;P

[jm28775]

Loved the B/W start..(adds mystery!)..Tough song to sing but you did GRRrEAT!..Guitars..wow!!..Wall­ey..you and the guys bring the B's back to life!!John..NY

[hendrixdude67]

no offense but try another singer

[vplamondon]

No

Frenchytouch doesn't have the Beatles voice exacltly but hey, it's a freaking cover and he did a very nice job.

[laurentpintat]

muy buena version.. :)

[staminqia]

Jun you heard it from hoff and Zsa, will you try it?

[silat13]

Brilliant...

Its "multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots". :)

If that is what you said then disregard:)

[capeman23]

i feel like i am listening to the soundtrack to across the universe great job

[amarnamriju]

wow...wow

hey jun can you do when the levee breaks...i so wanna hear your version

[fanoguitar]

Great work! Don't know who did what, but everyone got it right! 5* to everyone!

[Spectrum36]

Hey Nice Job With This Amazing Cover

Though I Am Just Starting Guitar But I Am Getting There Hopefuly :D

But Anyways

Keep Up The Great Work

[jamesnorthernva]

Really nice job, I love the Virtual Beatles. Jun, you are amazing. The guitar sounds were recaptured with stunning accuracy.

~ Jamie

[jun626]

Thank you my Brother,that blue strat is my most favorite guitar:) really great sound!

[LordOfThisWorld74]

You guys are amazing man

[brywool]

you guys have THE most amazing ear for guitar parts. Damn, HOW do you do that???? I've been playing forever and I cannot hear stuff the way you guys do. Your Beatles videos are all awesome.

[timtipton5071256]

Fantastic job by all....That's a tough song to sing but Julien nailed it....Rock on guys.

[spongebobam888]

this is probably the best virual beatles song, mostly because because this is frenchytouch's best one. jun nails every song they play :)

[ungo7980]

its called a fatboy

[zp4eva]

anyone know what strat that light blue one is

[LifeIsGood472]

realy good vocal. towards the chorus it was a little shot, but don't feel bad, its a hard song to sing. i couldn't sing it even close to better than you.

[dph357]

Just Great!

[robmcmann]

Virtaul Beatles Rules!

[beatlemad68]

Outstanding.

[vineyardedge]

Fantastic! :)

[benwolf888]

Sweet cover guys, the vocalist seemed strained at points, especially in the "Mother superior..." part but he was fine in the beginning and end and the instrumentals were spot-on and terrific. Thanks for posting.

[thegreatpumpkin1313]

At first the vocs were killing me but they grew on me by the end. Cool, nice job.

[klingonbro99]

[Munkybarz]
