John Lennon was such an amazing influential man-bringing an end to war and corruption in unique peaceful ways. everyone should watch the move "The U.S. vs. John Lennon"-it shows how influential Lennon was-from interviews,video footage, and even the government and FBI talking about him
@QueenBeatlesWings yep thats why hes dead now ,they kill any influencial person who promotes peace (ghandi ,martin luther king jnr, the kennedy brothers, princess di )the list goes on ,now peace through superior fire power thats a different story ,,cheers for the heads up on the movie you mentioned ,i will watch thanks ...stay safe and peace

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
john lennon was a freemason if you dont think so look at some of the beatles covers and for 1you see paul doing the freemason masonic sign for masons john was one he sold his soul paul was and is 1 its possible that john wanted out and thats why he was shot when ever a famous person wants out theres allways tragic news car crash ect so many are gone somthing was and is at hand
yeah,and it's possible that a giant invisible elephant is holding the Earth up with its trunk!!!! what a load of shit-you can read anything into anything if u try hard enough-wake up!
"...with just a pocket full of HOPE". I'm no fan of bush, but anyone who gets behind obama as the saviour is just falling in line with a new government. we should be against all government. they are all corrupt. fight the power.
remember elections have consequences - just as Bush didn't turn out as hoped, dont count on Obama delivering you from evil, fixing your problems or giving you the truth. He's a politician and they are ALL the same.
the united states is the corner where god and satan have co-existed for these past years.america is pullin out and that is the fuckn TRUTH. the church of rock n roll shall gather together on the other side.or something like that.
There is only one egocentric prima donna in this race. Ill give you a hint, youve got the wrong party. Just a pocketful of hope, Money for dope. Money for rope. Listen man!! Brother John is talking to us. Could it be any clearer?
Wars never ending wars, that's where all the money goes, into a bottomless pit, the loss of valuable life that could add to the building of America, not destroying it financially,what a waste, politicians should hang their heads in shame,most crime, not all is caused by being poor, or you get out of prison and no body wants to employ you, so what do you do, back to crime,money should be put into solar energy, that would create employment and save us all vnvhe Osceola.
Estonko my brothers and sisters, first you have to look at who politicians really represent it isn't the poor or the bottom of list, it sure isn't Indians, big business, large corporations ,people with money who keep them there, how would a poor man or woman get to become President,so in my eyes things aren't equal, never will be, there shouldn't be people living on street,people should have a pension you can live comfortable on, the pollies do you bet,proper Medicare, all the money goes into
Good message but who can change the polytical if the war is the answer to the no one atack i`m not good writting in english but i`m tring to express that tha war is a false way of take more money without any mercy
The sentiments of this song will always apply, as long as politicians are the funded puppets of global capitalist conglomerates! Could you ever imagine George Dubya telling the truth? Well maybe when he retires, but i doubt it, he relies on the sinister honey pot to acquire even greater wealth for himself! Both he and his corrupt father are lying, thieving murderers!
Can you jobless hippy wannabees turn it down some of us have to work. Talk to an Iraqi Kurd or Shi-ite about Saddam and you'll hear the truth. Put the bong or pipe down for a day and clear your mind at least a little bit.
Like I said, go talk to any Iraqi Kurd or Shi-ite who were lucky to escape Saddam and come here and you'll get the truth like I did. I didn't give a crap about Iraq and thought the war was dumb. I have a Kurd friend who opened my eyes. If you just listen to the liberal media you won't hear about what Saddam was up to. He was Hitler and Stalin combined!
if john lennon was live now ,fighting ,talking against the white house always ,remember richard nixon saying //lennon is dangerous for america,we will have departed//.
Yet another excellent music video with a message that's sadly more relevant than ever. I know you probably get this a lot, but at times you do sound uncannily like John Lennon, which is no bad thing. Keep up the great work!
who cares how many views mayo4904.and I differ with you.his vocals ROCK!part of me likes this version better than lennons because its clearer and the drums are loud.but i think the message behind this video is more important than silly shit you mention.
umm purple treeband its me greendayfreeko agian i was j wonderin if u could amke a vid of yourslef singing instant karma im 13 yrsd old and now im goin thorough a big john lennon stage im form spring vermont im just wonderin where do u come fromand whats your name dude again could u plz make a vid of yourself singing instant karma and nobody told me? i would very much appreciate it thank you
Hey greendayfreeko. :) Those are two top-notch songs. In the future I will probably cover more Lennon tunes. Right now I'm quite busy :( ... I like the one you picked from "Milk and Honey". Keep listening to Lennon, his music has changed many lives... Take care, ~David Perry
Hey greendayfreeko. Well if you mean backround music I have a band "Purple Tree" On this track I used Ben Girnus on guitar , Mike Kasky on Drums, and myself. Hope that helps.
where do u live cause i live in springfield vt just wonderin cause i found somone that doesnt live that far from me on the onternet soddude if its ok with u could u tell me what state u live in?
"Why does America have such a fasination with a time that everyone else would rather forget (WW2)? Well probbably because that was the last war they did any good. When they had a clear win over an evil villan who posed a genuine threat. Rather than one of this wishy-wasy wars were they just run in. stomp all over a developing nation, and run out declaring victory around the time the population has to start eating it's own dead"
too bad you are too young you missed all the cool hippie shit. people say history repeats its self......youve heard that. so if its true. if we stop tyrants before they are a problm we can save lives
hey jimflash19, who are you calling fag to? Bush is a fucking fag? YES HE IS. you worded this like shit. it sounds like your calling the band a fag and i know they are all into pussy, lol.
In my ountry we haven't had a war since 1945 - and it's like that for most countries.
But look at the US - since WWII you haven't stopped fighting wars. And no one believes the american crap any more - that you're fighting for liberty,...
Give the world a break, America - the world is sick and tired of US imperialism. We don't hate your freedom, we hate your imperialist government.
It's about time something good came out of America and that can only be Ron Paul.
Well I'll be honest, I can't hear it. Maybe it needs to be turned up a bit louder. But the bottom line is, this is a kick ass cover of a kick ass song, and a VERY powerful video. Sorry about though, I'm a musician too, and I'm a perfectionist with this stuff. But like I said, good job!
No problems gtrmu, thanks for the kudos. Try downloading the MP3 of this song from purpletreemusic com. Goto videos section, and choose this video. I engineered it and the bass end is plenty loud. YouTube compression messes up the audio. They mush everything into mono.
Hey BeatlesRock101,that's the singers voice.he sings from the soul!I have two purple tree CD's and that band rocks.blame god for his voice,not the singer.
LOL, I got an idea cazadorxl, Why not change a Picasso painting to reflect todays' troubled society, haha. Too much blue was used... You don't change perfection and Lennon's work IS perfection!
why would u want it too sound like the original. its a kickass rendition and i think its perfect but wwhats the point in doing a coover if its exactly the same. and by the way you guys didnt create a copy of the original i like this very much
You know what you have a point and people are just bashing you because they think hes a good singer; so what. I'm tired of people making patriotioc videos about Bush.
This is unbelievably authentic ! When I first received this vid I thought it was a slightly washed out version of 'Gimme The Truth' by the real John Lennon...
I'm planning on getting all my friends at school together and wearing white arm bands with the peace sign on them like John did when Vietnam was going on.
Do you know what I AM SICK OFF??? People who say "bravo, well done because you sound like John Lennon" and people who say to his kids "Oh... you don't sound quite enough like him" or "your work does not correspond to what your father did..."
Of course it wouldn't! We are all different! So give them a chance to be themselves already!
You're an idiot. It's perfectly normal for someone to compliment David on "hitting the Lennon vocals dead on" ... The fact that Lennon's kids get ripped on for not sounding enough like Lennon has nothing to do with anything. Who are you? One of them? Wouldn't surprise me, they tend to whine "whoa is me" a lot. Poor troubled Lennon kids ... must be terrible to be the son of John Lennon.
Seems you didn't get anything out of what I said; I said they accuse his own children of sounding like him but tell those who sound like him, "bravo, way to go". And you don't know how much pressure John's kids are going through... You REALLY DON'T KNOW~!
watchin' again.. I love the emotion you convey in Lennons lyrics.. this could have been written today its just way ahead of its time & you do it total justice.
To me it is as simple as our oil supplies vs middle eastern ideology. Apparantly mr bin laden holds the view that america supports tyrants in saudi arabia who keep the oil wealth to themselves and oppress the majority of arabs. I don't know if its true or not.

Can you handle the truth?
Your version sucks, sounds too much like the original, you should have changed at least the
lyrics to reflect present time, how about instead of Nixon mention Bush, instead of vietnam
mention Irak, etc.
Make a different musical arrangment at least.

LOL, I got an idea cazadorxl, Why not change a Picasso painting to reflect todays' troubled society, haha. Too much blue was used... You don't change perfection and Lennon's work IS perfection!

well when u redo something, u want it to sound like the original. and if u want it redone to today's events, then do it yourself!

You know what you have a point and people are just bashing you because they think hes a good singer; so what. I'm tired of people making patriotioc videos about Bush.

This is unbelievably authentic ! When I first received this vid I thought it was a slightly washed out version of 'Gimme The Truth' by the real John Lennon...
You guys are real good !

I'm planning on getting all my friends at school together and wearing white arm bands with the peace sign on them like John did when Vietnam was going on.

Regardless of people's somewhat negative sentiments of how much you sound like John, this is an amazing cover.

Just shutup.

Do you know what I AM SICK OFF??? People who say "bravo, well done because you sound like John Lennon" and people who say to his kids "Oh... you don't sound quite enough like him" or "your work does not correspond to what your father did..."
Of course it wouldn't! We are all different! So give them a chance to be themselves already!

You're an idiot. It's perfectly normal for someone to compliment David on "hitting the Lennon vocals dead on" ... The fact that Lennon's kids get ripped on for not sounding enough like Lennon has nothing to do with anything. Who are you? One of them? Wouldn't surprise me, they tend to whine "whoa is me" a lot. Poor troubled Lennon kids ... must be terrible to be the son of John Lennon.

Seems you didn't get anything out of what I said; I said they accuse his own children of sounding like him but tell those who sound like him, "bravo, way to go". And you don't know how much pressure John's kids are going through... You REALLY DON'T KNOW~!

watchin' again.. I love the emotion you convey in Lennons lyrics.. this could have been written today its just way ahead of its time & you do it total justice.

Good cover. Did you use a computer recording system or did you go to a real recording studio?

To me it is as simple as our oil supplies vs middle eastern ideology. Apparantly mr bin laden holds the view that america supports tyrants in saudi arabia who keep the oil wealth to themselves and oppress the majority of arabs. I don't know if its true or not.
