The Who, Behind Blue Eyes, with Lyrics, Roger Daltrey

[merlinwehrs]

Noones knows what its like to be the Batman.. to be the Sandman

[ericknvp01]

The esence of the Who

[metallights]

Enter Sadman

[r0bb3rt5]

I like how one band shows respect to the greatest band ever by making a modern re-do of their song and we all down them. Shows you how stupid youtube users are.

[liverpoolz4eva]

where's keith... i miss keith...

[splitskaposla]

like million times ...

[IamTheWalrus025]

Story of my life. Before I was even born <3

[volvogirl4321]

I love this song so much <3

[Dark94light]

why is everyone ruining this beautiful song with such shitty comments and getting thumbed up?

[sziszsza]

No one knows what it's like to be a batman... ;)

[TheNonstopWrestling]

Sie haben das lied geil geschrieben,allerdings finde ich die version von limp bizkit weitaus besser!!

[Arimli]

Замечательно!!!

[xau326]

when he goes to roll the microphone, he almost hit his face D:

[o0simpson0o]

isn't germany welcome ? :(

[karma6300]

Love this song !

[angie7j]

The mic!! Don't worry, Rog.3:21

[Lukenzzluka]

this version is the best 

[SuperChawy]

Get on with it, is something we know all about. LOL LOVE IT!

[Bublifucck]

No one knows what its like to be a Batman...

[No0elly]

Roger Daltrey is fucking hot. THAT IS ALL. also he's a real sweet pea. :-)

[loveisforno1]

this songs reminds me of my.bf.... he has the most beautiful sad blue eyes.... but now that he n i are together they're sparkly n no longer sad....love the who

[elinelin75]

fred durst can just SHUT UP!!!! cant sing cant make music!! the who is so beyond!!!

[thespotlightkid]

LB's version can't touch this

[TheDrugs33]

I agree, no one knows what it's like to be the Batman...

[tempofreak69]

The original is still the best, by far.

[jackmillwall1]

wow wish i could have seen the who!

[brennanMUFC]

@streatleyred Fully agree with you, Limp Bizkit are exactly one of those bands that wouldn't of made it back then. I did think the new recording techniques gave their cover of this song a breath of fresh air though. Never as good as the original, but still a nice listen.

[lottestares]

omg i had this video in my playlist untill the idiot who owned it deleted it so now i'm already searching this version for over a year

thank you very much you saved my day :)

[ayush709]

beautiful lyrics check this by The Who- Behind Blue Eyes

[HenkeEdge]

One of my favorite songs!

I did this song on a karaoke club once and a friend told me later that some girls at the table next to him thougt it was music from radio that they started to play.

(couldnt see the small stage from that place) So guess I did ok =)

[brennanMUFC]

A lot of people think they are cool slating Limp Bizkit. They're a decent band, and while I usually always prefer the originals to covers, LB's cover of this was great I thought. Was really nice hearing the song done with modern, crisp recording techniques, and Fred Durst had the right type of grainy voice to make it work.

[streatleyred]

@brennanMUFC modern recording techniques make bands sound better than they really are.most modern bands.would not have made it in 60s/70s

[abis521]

I love to listen to this song, my memory of Vietnam war, just imagine if you're a fighter pilot ....smooth sailing your jet and **BAMM** starting aecrobatic maneuvers..What a feeling!!!

[209KillerQueen]

EPIC!

[911xxx911]

my love is vengance, as never free

[IamTheWalrus025]

The best version :)

[trappenkeith]

@IamTheWalrus025

I agree with you

[sparkofinsanity1]

They r awsome but I think I like limp bizkits version better

[septeracore]

@sparkofinsanity1 Aye...I think Limp Bizkit did justice to the cover. Both versions are beautiful one outshining the other depending on the mood.

[ShelbyLouiseBrown]

Absolute tune.

[godyourule]

Watch my cover behind blue eyes: youtube.com/watch?v=2JUBL62nC9­­o

THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE!

[mybeardrox]

He seems fucking drunk lol, yet he doesn't fail to put on a great show.

[NotoriousBMF]

i like how he swings the mic around. i want to buy one just to try that

[4SJust]

I hate 3:52

[EskimolaTTe]

No one knows what it's like ...to be pregnant

[GiantMidget006]

@EskimolaTTe ha ha ha

[TheMrfreedomrequired]

@EskimolaTTe That is not true...there are alot of women who know what its like to be pregnant!

[selenio999]

@EskimolaTTe I understand baby, the real life is so hard

[TheSauceX2]

@EskimolaTTe

I'm assuming you've had the baby by now?

[muriel574]

17 ans, le portrait géant de Roger Daltrey au dessus de mon lit , et toutes leurs chansons que j'écoutais en boucle... Le temps a passé, mon émotion et plaisir à les entendre est idem !

[Tapecutter59]

Music is in the ear of the listener. I love the who, my kids love Limp Bizkit, and my grandkids love the wiggles.

[rockndude87]

My favorite song to play on guitar...ever

[nevil345]

The drummer has skills and the singer is incredible and the song itself is awesome

[streffin]

well i dislike the lyrics being all over the god damn video ... i dislike that a lot and i'm not a nativ english speaker ...... (thats where your "ur grammer and spelling sucks coments go)

but i do prefer the who to limp bizkits version. If only for the reason that the who had talent, and limp bizkit never had that .....

[rolltider17]

@streffin FYI, there is a button at the bottom of videos that you can click to hide the annotations/lyrics (next to the button for video quality). Very handy for annoying pop-up boxes on videos. ;)

[streffin]

@rolltider17

thanks ;)

[milankostic1992]

Don't forget Serbian viewers.

[denerpunkrock]

Limp Bizkit sucks

the who is best

the who is pure

Limp Bizkit is nothing compared to the who

[alexandruteodorescu]

This is by far a better version than Limp Bizkit's

[TheQuezle]

pls klick:  /watch?v=9C9Q6UCo0yU

[eagle6446]

Well, if someone came here because of the limp bizkit's version, then it's good so far, innit?

[whitepower19931]

oops... 2 times :P

[whitepower19931]

OMG!

look it is Limp Biscuit (:D) *Firing bozooka* (guts flying everywhere)

huh?... where did he go?

[whitepower19931]

OMG!

look it is Limp Biscuit (:D) *Firing bozooka* (guts flying everywhere)

huh?... where did he go?

[DERderZOCKT]

omg i cant belive that someone doesnt like this fuckin good song

[accadaccasuperstar]

best band to walk the earth

[nowheremancameron]

it's a depressing moment when you type in 'behind blue eyes' and it suggests limp bizkit before The Who

[daydreams4rock]

i found UNOBTAINIUM its good ROCK- CHECK vid and comment fried nsub me too as thsi is preview sooon into production with singer ad band-- i compose only and see ROCKS MOVIE too is me 4 u

[pinos316]

u sound so close minded about music ... this is good music as well as limp bizkits version its all in how u hear it but if i had to choose it would b this one

[watuonmate]

hey asswipes..... Hendrix,s all along the watchtower is far superior to dillons drivel...but to say, given words and tune come ready suplied and, limp dick change the middle for aa....ii wa wa whatever theres no contest the who win hands down....and all this shit about oohhh its all personal taste.....no its not you fool some of you dont have a hightened taste in music some of you wouldnt know a good tune if it nutted you...thats why some people love..billy rae cyras or bucksfizz ,starship

[ewanrchrdsn]

@watuonmate "dillons drivol" thats your opinion. two totally different versions..they mean two different things.. how can you compare them. besides dylan did write the song, and if you reckon he could of done better himself why did he bother covering it. Dylan is the best songwrite hands down in my opinion and should be respected even if his version is abit boring.

[jamesykt69]

the lyrics to this are amazing

[larebz]

I'm not even a fan of this music really but it's so obvious how much better this song is than Limp Bizkits version.

[BKbroilerXC]

I'd like to see Limp Bizkit do this well live.

[japoniumbr]

i prefer limp's version

[annidel1]

@japoniumbr you bumhole i havent even heard the limp biscuit version and i know its shit

[kywomanlml]

Priceless! Thanks for posting...

[theblahman]

did you ever see fred durst do a guitar solo, a fail if i ever saw one, funny for a giggle

[patatkraam1]

@ Atgskaer14, y so mad bro?

[bottecchia1927]

Pete lyrics, who sound great song !

[TheKritty]

Man. You know what, people? I love BOTH versions of this song, Limp Bizkit AND this one. Maybe I prefer this one a bit more, but it depends on my mood. In the end it's the art that counds, the entertainment. When people are entertained and touched by the LB's version, why not. It's all a question of taste, isn't it? The world should be happy that there still is some music and creativity among all this chaos and and horror and shit that happens all the time on earth. Just sayin'.

[Falcrist]

@TheKritty I really wish people would spend less time writing comments bashing one version or the other, and more time listening to the music. Speaking of which... :D

[MagicVtec]

@TheKritty I didnt know this song before LB's version,though is an awesome cover, I prefer the original song.LB did a great job also remembering us this beautiful song.

[Dazzler59]

@TheKritty no dude these guys wrote it , LB are just a bunch of cunts pretending to be musicians.

[Silk7301]

@TheKritty I'm in agreement with you. I'm surprised to go around and find anything negative about The Who on their songs. Both versions of this song are Amazing. So Why don't all the people that can't take change or originality and go take a hike to get used to both.

[TheKritty]

@Silk7301 : Thank you. That's what I thought ;-) It's good to see other mature people on youtube!!!

[SuperChawy]

@TheKritty lol LB's version was #2 on Rolling Stones Top 10 WORST covers of ALL-TIME lol, nobody should touch this song...... Just sayin

[evilspiritje]

@TheKritty Hey man. Uhmm have you noticed that LB leave out a big part of the song. Maybe Fred Durst can't handle the whole song huh? Still you make a good point. But the Who kicks ass. The Who was (still is) true rock and roll. LB is just marketed shit.:D Just saying :P

[TheKritty]

@evilspiritje: Still, it's kind of THEIR interpretation. I understand what you mean and I agree at some points (The Who DO kick ass, yes, but I also like some LB songs, know what I mean?). Anyways, people will discuss this shit for the eternity, there will always be different opinions and tastes ;-)

[evilspiritje]

@TheKritty Yes i know what you're saying LB do have some good songs (Break Stuff, Faith - which they made beter than the original). And yes it would be boring if everyone had the same taste or opinion. But i'd rather listen to take that cover Led Zep or Pink Floyd, than LB doing Who :D But IMHO GN'R did the best covers ever. They turned the original songs into something better ;D

[PuItItAz]

asi quiero ser cabr



[ThePurpleLP]

The first version I heard was Bizkit's version. Then I listened to this song (the original) and at first i thought "Well, Bizkit's version isn't THAT bad. I don't see why everybody's hating on it."

Then this video came to 2:25 and I was like "Oh, I see."

[gereatriczing]

dudes its not about who is better or who is shit k? its just about appreciating the music for what it is

[TheShadowsPower]

limp bizkit is beter that so cowboys party

[Arcond1]

Yeah, it's fucking great ! But Limp Bizkit is good too.

[TheOneCenter2304]

nice lycris:)

[jocornello]

if you people had grown up with limp bizkit listening to them every single day for years... you'd know the reason why MY GENERATION likes em.

[AngelofMusic2288]

@jocornello I have news for you... I'm from your generation--I grew up listening to Limp Bizkit, and greatly enjoyed their rendition of Behind Blue Eyes... until I found out it was a cover and listened to the original. The only thing I can say for Limp Bizkit is that thanks to them I found the Who.

[douglas787]

The only thing I can think about is with a voice like that all the pussy I could get.

[justger]

the singing really isnt that good here :\

[RobbieReineldt]

@justger 10 fucking times better than Limp Dicks singing live. If you can call it that.

[tangerine58]

incantevole brano, grazie

[TheEmowurst]

bahh dieses lied zerstört die ehre limp bitzkit ahhh

[ThePurpleLP]

@TheEmowurst Recherchier mal die Daten wann The Who das Lied gemacht hat und wann Bizkit...wenn dan hat hier Bizkit The Who's ehre zerstört, aber dafür reicht Bizkits Talent eh nicht ;)

[eatabrownie]

but my dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeams, they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be ♪

i fucking love this song!

[tangerine58]

@eatabrownie i have hours only lonely..........splendidi versi, magica melodia

[Marillionrules]

written and recorded when LIMP BIZKIT were still in nappies!

[J3sterh3ad]

to all of you who think they know which version is the best.. listening to music and talking about music is quite easy.. making music is rather difficult ;)

[pivotpointpits]

its are not arnt

[leertast]

limp bizkit can't sing that's good music i like it, best music ever!

[Strive2Be123]

I found the back-story to this song intriguing and unexpected: "The origin of the song comes from an event that occurred after The Who's June 9th, 1970 concert in Denver. Townshend was tempted by a groupie. He went back to his room alone and wrote a prayer beginning, "If my fist clenches, crack it open..." The prayer was more or less asking for help in resisting this temptation. The other words could be describing Townshend's self pity and how hard it is to resist." Songfacts

[xINZigHT]

hahaha Dr.Cox frpm scrubs :D 

[gentledino]

very good...............i like these bands of 70s who replicated wat was there on tape/record, out there live.......something thats started changing in 90s........not that there ain't great bands in 90s...........

[BuryLadBen5]

Obviously limp bizkit aren't the best beacause if they were they wouldn't even have this song to cover. We are the Mods!

[iparodyall]

i dont like limp bizkit but i think they captured more sadness, a lonely feeling in this song, the who made this song a little more upbeat about things

so i like the limp bizkit version better, and thats my opinion

you all need to stop fighting about this

limp bizkit respected the who or they would'nt have made a cover

and the who allowed limp bizkit to cover the song

they dont hate eachother, so there should be no controversy

[PcmRox182]

little fags that like lip biscuit are not allowed to watch the who in youtube so go suck some cock and drink some white cream and then come back.. LATERZZZ

[anibulia]

3:23 :D

[aic2991]

@anibulia jw are you laughing bc he dropped the mic?

[MrTR77]

limp bizkit is best!!!!

[Siwieto1958]

Behind blue eyes is a song/tune by the Who and as always the original version is the best.

Roger Daltrey's voice is just amazing. And the Who is a great band...... And has always been.

Leif

[Ultratacker]

Hey there is no welcome to viewers from germany...

Willkommen an alle deutschen Zuschauer

[Aresftfun]

@ 2:27 Really? "BAM!"?

[inneb1993]

Limp Bizkit is great! And in my opinion the LB Version is better... BUT The Who is great band! But this song sounds better by LB... sorry guys ;D

[Aresftfun]

@inneb1993 I must disagree with you, and though I am sure that musical taste is subjective, I still feel a need to stand up for this song. After all, it is a classic and shows real vocal skills including contrasting and great guitar chords and strums mixing with the vocals.

[Loomr]

@inneb1993

You're young and misguided, we will forgive you ;)

[inneb1993]

@Loomr

Oh thank you! :D But I think. some people like limp bizkit version and some people like the the who version ;)

[braumeister2002]

much better than limp bizkit...

[AlaRody]

Great song but the subs fuck

[IssoPacci]

I like many Limb Bizkit songs but to think that his version is better than this would be criminal.

[word636]

ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK SONGS _ E - V - E - R _

[cocksnap123]

limp shitballs is a band that poisoned this song's name.

[danno9901]

WTF IS THIS SHIT!!!!!!

[atgskater14]

@danno9901

you sir are either deaf or have the iq of a retarded monkey

[danno9901]

@atgskater14 i am not saying that i dont like this song, its a great song, its just the person singing it that i dont like, and for people who say that the Limp Bizkit veriso is crap - its not....ever think of people that acctually like Limp Bizkit - like me - ity my own opinion and no one can change that.

[atgskater14]

@danno9901

yeah roger daltrey, he is the best rock singer ever hands down (in my opinion)

[nww009]

@danno9901 ITS FUCKING AMAZING!!!

[danno9901]

@nww009 no its not.....

[nww009]

@danno9901 Please, do give me reasons? And not, oh its not my style, give me concrete, musical reasons.

For example, at 1:04, Daltry is slightly out of tune.

[danno9901]

@nww009 well, i am not a fan of The Who, and i prefer music that goes pretty fast, not a slow as this, and dont go saying that the Limp Bizkit eversion is slow, cos i already know that, but i like Limp Bizkit, and thats that.....

[nww009]

@danno9901 Listen to The Who's Live at Leeds album if you want to hear fast. :)

[danno9901]

@nww009 ummmmm.....NO!

[Wheel8of9time]

Genius

[Terrilliser]

Limp Bizkit is the result of how many ORDINARY people can become famous if they write get a paragraph or two that rhymes!!... no talent hacks!! rock n roll takes talent, REAL life experiences, and not giving a shit what anyone thinks!! rock n roll forever!!

[douglas787]

In the words of Curly Bill, "Prettiest man I ever saw".

[marqueskdu]

THIS IS IT!!!

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ROCK & ROLL YOU THINK ABOUT THE WHO.

See what they have done. Can you imagine rock without Tommy, Quadrophenia, the genius Towshend, the perfect Daltrey, the superb classical Entwistle and the unbelieved Moon???

IT'S HISTORY!!! PURE HYSTORY!!!!!!!!!!

[lusimami]

Actually there is nothing wrong with limp bizkit covering these song, although it is so great as the original. Everybody has their own way in covering this song or whathaveyou........ This song has a lot of meaning hidden, teaching us to be patient in facing our problems.......

[rahulcredentials]

who gave bloody right to sing this to shitty limp bizkit ??

I Should Bow Down to This Great Singer...

[BADBRYZ]

@rahulcredentials most likely the corporate record bastards -- just to make another buck or two.

[BADBRYZ]

Limp dick-kit sucks... Thanks, Goodnight.

[peterk5699]

Love this version. It was on here a while ago but deleted. Thanks for putting it back up :)

[stuartbcheeky]

FOR RAOUL MOAT,RESPECT FOR STANDING YOUR GROUND,DONT AGREE WITH SHOOTING YOUR EX,BUT HEY YOU HAD YOUR REASONS , BUT NOW YOUR DAUGHTERS LOST HER FATHER,ITS A CRIME OF PASSION,R.I.P RAOUL MOAT AND CHRIS BROWN!!

[FailedMohawkTV]

@stuartbcheeky chris brown is still alive.....

[kontrolermzk]

Love this song... I can still listen to it..

[atgskater14]

it frustrates the hell out of me when a limp dick fan comes into a who video saying limp dick is better than the who. you have to be a retarded donkey to think that limp bizkit is better than the who they suck. there is a reason the who played the super bowl and limp dick wont ever play the super bowl

1 is Janet Jackson

2 is talent

[EgagLatsev]

@atgskater14 bruce springsteen played the super bowl dude........ that isnt a feat

the who are better tho

[missionblank1]

@atgskater14 i would say theres a reason the who is still playing shows and limp dick is growing Grey and becoming a 3 hit wonder

[atgskater14]

@missionblank1

All of limp dicks so called "hits" are only enjoyed by idiots.

[mooney1455]

@atgskater14 are u retarded?

[atgskater14]

@mooney1455

Am i retarded? The last time i checked i wasn't but it's been a while since i've checked

[MasterOfDesaster95]

@atgskater14 you can´t compare limp bizkit with the who it´s a complietly difficult style of music

[atgskater14]

@MasterOfDesaster95

Usually yes however when they decided to cove Behind Blue Eyes they dipped into The Who's genre in which they do not have the talent for

[InstantClassic12345]

@atgskater14 and it frustrates the hell out of me when noobs like you come onto a video and completly bad mouth something cause lets just face it you will never have the skill to sing like the who or limp bizkit so instead u decide to bad mouth them keep your opinions to urself u shit cunt

[Avenger4343]

@atgskater14 i like both of them SO U CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF!
