Dana Fuchs Band - Helter Skelter (Beatles Cover)

[countrypaul]

If Joplin had fronted the Beatles using modern amps, this would have been it. Wow!!!

[thatvetoguy]

OMFG. That voice!

[kevn99]

WOW

[MakingModsEasy]

Honestly, the best cover of this song and I do not think it will be 'beat'. JS.

[mikemfd232]

[treeclimbermatt]

[HedvigRok]

I'm a huuuge Beatles-fan, and this really is the best cover of Helter Skelter of all time!

[TheStrammer]

...aaale mile zaskoczenie!

[Jeffery7734]

I wish people would stop comparing Dana to Janis sorry but Janis' voice can't even begin to touch Dana's.

[lilmidgetgirl69]

@Jeffery7734 - What are you talking about? Her voice sounds the pretty damn close to Janis's voice. Have you ever actually listened to Janis sing?

[Jeffery7734]

@lilmidgetgirl69 Of course I have listened to the music of Janis or I wouldn't have said anything in the first place.I actually really enjoy her music.Maybe I listened enough to actually tell the difference in their talent levels.Dana has much much more.

[lilmidgetgirl69]

@Jeffery7734 - True. Janis has more of a I can't really describe it...deeper voice? I think Dana's is a bit higher. But I could just be talking about of my ass. xD

[Beatles7160]

@Jeffery7734 i didnt mean to vote down your comment, if anything i ment to vote it up. it was a complete accident.

[zeevkoHHB]

sexy Janis Joplin

[bckm54]

of ALL the covers of this very difficult song, Dana is this ONLY one whose voice is up to the task. this KICKS ASS!

[oOsprinklesOo]

She has the best scream I've ever heard come out of a woman's mouth. I want her VOICE!!! Metal and Hard Rock should kill to get Dana a record deal.

[pocabarba]

I wish I could like this video a million times!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrweirdart]

f...k... she rules!!!!

[captainpharaoh]

Ok, there are female singers, then there's Dana....who can sing anything, literally tear it apart, and make it her own! Female pop singers everywhere take note....Dana is on the rise. Somewhere Janis Joplin is smiling.

[woozy11285]

@captainpharaoh whoops i accidently gave you a thumbs down for this comment, ACCIDENTLY, my bad, youve got it right on though, well put

[halloweenfan92]

anyone else thinking about janis joplin?

[hector3088]

@halloweenfan92 that's the point, she represented janis joplin as Sadie in the movie, and jojo was for Hendrix

[bigolive1962]

@halloweenfan92

Think she's eating Tiger at lunch ;-)

[DoctorPencilK]

She's got the perfect voice for this song.

[jamarco31]

hey look, it's sexy sadie.

[Pelaobishiwh]

[mauris82]

[jddmr22181]

As with all Beatles covers....can't blame 'em for tryin'. Good effort. Better than most.

[alysonai]

[Ibornunderbridge]

i wonder....why I have to watch rihanna and shakira if in the world there are much better things

[Haferflocke100]

This is a real singer, a true artist - a real woman!

[MrDanielsman]

Sem dúvidas q Beatles lançou o Rock no mundo.

Sou eternamente grato aos meus familiares!

[bowzerscastle]

[drugasrose]

awesome!!!

[rokkerr99]

I need her 2 marry me, she can freakin wail!

[sintonatium]

Hello Janis

[ttomnivek]

After a few moments of reflection on this, I'd have to concur with you...It is just a fuchin' joke and we should be fuchin' laughing with each other, not fuchin' laughing at each other! Like the fuchin' Joker said "Why so Serious"? So, an even better question would be, How soon before the "What The Fuch?" T-shirts roll out?

Fuch'n A, Bro! Peace out!

[DoctorPencilK]

Her voice is amazing.

[aluencita]

amo su voz, me pone la piel de gallina y me eleva...mmmmm

[ttomnivek]

Also by the way, how DO you pronounce "speach"? Grammatically or Phonically?

[gerrylee23]

@ttomnivek As I said a few posts before. "CH can be pronounced with a "sha" "ch" or a "k". So does that answer this dumb ass question of yours? 

[ttomnivek]

Yes it is great, but when you don't do your research and don't have your facts straight it makes someone look pretty foolish before the entire world. I'm willing to bet it's not going to be me. Isn't that great! Have a great day!

[gerrylee23]

@ttomnivek Actually, it was a joke, howdy. Why would I need "facts?" Better question for you, why would I need to get those "facts straight?" It was a fuching joke dude. "Foolish before the entire world".............huh? Do you think there are 260,957 people in "the entire world?" IT WAS A FUCHING JOKE!!!

[ttomnivek]

Actually Danas name is pronounced (phonically) FEWSH as in FUSCHIA, the color or the flower (minus the 'ia" of course. It seems the popular mispronounced version of Danas last name, reveals the true gradeschool mentality and maturity of many fans of YouTube.

[gerrylee23]

@ttomnivek It doesn't matter.  It's spelled how it's spelled. CH can be pronounced with a "sha" "ch" or a "k". And since there isn't a dictionary on You Tube giving us the exact pronunciation, I will continue to pronounce it how I choose. Isn't freedom of speach great?

[ironman5454]

@gerrylee23 For some reason my comment was tagged to yours- not intentional I can assure you. I up dinged your response as it states exactly how I felt about the answer you were given. We need a 'douche bag' filter/button on the 'tube ! Kinda spoiled the vibe this vid had going...

The spirit of the 60's is gone I'm afraid, despite Danas ability to grab it and put it out here for us.People now a days are plain obnoxious and a complete 180 from those days when everyone did their best to get along

[ironman5454]

@ttomnivek So how the HELL is some one to know if they don't ASK ? I've spent the better part of the last hour trying to find out myself.Is there something wrong with wanting to get the ladies name straight ? It helps when you're talking to others, asking for tickets to her shows etc. YOU'RE the one presuming the 'grade school' mentality. I can think of at least 4 possible ways to pronounce it. What, were you born with the correct pronunciation rolling off your tongue ? Dick.

[ttomnivek]

@ironman5454 No, I wasn't born a verbal Rhodes Scholar, not by a long shot. This is sort of how the old "Don't assume..." quote came about. You're correct, if you don't ask you'll never know and yes, research will always expand our knowledge. Thats how we learn.

[ttomnivek]

@ironman5454 But as for me assuming the grade school mentality, try and remember back to our childhood years when another individuals name might have been referenced to maybe, certain male or female body parts? Or how about those whose names might have been used in a obscene rhyming taunt? Thus, the "Grade School Mentality" rears its ugly head. Judging that you signed you name at the end of your comment, could you have been one of the unfortunate ones that suffered the taunts as a child?

[chattygirl1968]

i love this chick!! Got to meet her at a local Bluesfest and she is one of the most gracious and loving people you could ever hope to meet!!! Dana is awesome!!

[darklho]

awesooooooooooooooooooooomeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeee

[zargon100]

What a voice... Great cover of a great song...Now when ever I hear this song I will think of Dana Fuchs instead of Charlie Manson...much better vison for the head.

[eirdeGH3]

Such a powerful voice!

[AmonKefren]

Dana is a goddess

[gerrylee23]

Ummmmm.....how do you pronounce her last name???? Is it how I think??? The name of her band sounds more like a statement or headline. "Dana Fuchs Band". Just replace the last word for some cool Mad Lib fun. Dana Fuchs Midget. Dana Fuchs Tommy Lee. Dana Fuchs NY Giants. Dana Fuchs For Cash. Etc, Etc, Etc.

[allmack]

@gerrylee23 I love this idea. Look out for the t-shirts.

[zuolablee]

@gerrylee23

Ummmmm.....how do you pronounce her last name???? - It's "Fyooks"

[gerrylee23]

@zuolablee Ummmmmmmmm....... I don't care how it's pronounced, it's spelled very similarly to the "F" word. That makes it funny. And the h in her name is very close to the letter k. See......h k h k h k h k. Only one little line at the top makes it different. And it was a joke howdy. A Fuching joke.

[Bekll]

@gerrylee23 I have the same last name. People did use to say f*ck to make fun of it. -_-

FYI, there are 4-5 different ways to pronounce it.

[anonymusum]

@Bekll

sorry for you -------

you must have German ancestors as Fuchs is a very common name over here

[Bekll]

@anonymusum I'm Swiss-German, so yeah.

[zuolablee]

@gerrylee23

how do you pronounce her last name???? - 'Fyooks'

[gerrylee23]

@zuolablee Yes. That is how you pronounce it......I believe. I can't tell where you are going with this.

[bernie23232323232323]

@gerrylee23 f-ew-sh

[mireiification]

@gerrylee23 ...hahahahahahhahahahahahah...­...you pervert!!! :)))) you're funny though. :)))

[gerrylee23]

@mireiification Thank you. Thanks for understanding it was a joke too!

[acrosstheseaofyears]

@gerrylee23 I think it's pronounced like "Fewkes" smart ass :)

[gerrylee23]

@acrosstheseaofyears Holy shit. People are still responding to my comment from half a year ago........Jesus Christ. IT WAS A JOKE! DO YOU NOT GET THAT? You say to "may" to, and I say to "ma" to. And it might be pronounced Feweks or Dog or Airplane, I DON'T CARE.  IT IS SPELLED FUCHS. ENOUGH SAID.

[acrosstheseaofyears]

@gerrylee23 k bro. cool story.

[Teppicmon]

@gerrylee23 Fuchs is a german name that simply means "fox" in english. It's just a name, get your hand out of your pants.

[SIMMINATOR333]

@gerrylee23 who fuchin cares how it's pronounced - SHE IS FUCHIN AWESOME right!

[shmuckler]

@gerrylee23

actually ist german for fox.

[rebec0n]

man she's so amazing... her voice just blows me away

[TheCherryBomber1]

The second coming of Joplin. Hallelujah!

[MrWhitedogs]

Gonna see (and hear) them next friday in Zoetermeer (NL).

Hope they'll be playing this song. This version is great.

[ironman5454]

@MrWhitedogs "Zoetermeer" ... How would you pronounce that ? Wait, don't answer ... 'ttomnivek' should be along any second now to enlighten me and then call me an a**hole for not knowing.

(Hope you enjoyed the show)

[MrWhitedogs]

@ironman5454 The "oe" in the dutch word Zoetermeer is pronounced like the "u" in the german word Fuchs and the "o" in the english word Who but you can call it Sweet Lake City ;) The Dana Fuchs gig was great btw

[ttomnivek]

@ironman5454 Just for the record, I never referenced anyone as to being an a**hole.

[bearthepoet26]

23 people need to get their HEARING CHECKED. Dana Fuchs is like today's Janis Joplin, minus the drugs I hope lol. Fucking Awesome!

[deabajo]

whooooaaaaaauuuuu :)

[menswear2112]

Woha man! Janis watch out!

[katyshalo]

great wake up song

[desfreezer]

I'd risk to say it's even better than the original :O

[gerrylee23]

@desfreezer Well then I would risk to say that you are a total Fuching idiot. "Better than the original"!?!?!?!? You have to be Fuching kidding me. They do a great job with the song, and Dana Fuchs has a PHENOMENAL VOICE, but better than The Beatles??? Never. Not in a million years. I would even bet you that if you told Dana that her version was better than The Beatles, she would probably laugh in your face (Or punch you, cause she is a total bad ass).

[AmonKefren]

@gerrylee23

I also think her version is better then the Beatles, mostly just because of her awesome voice, nobody can compete with those vocals on this song

[gerrylee23]

@AmonKefren No. Nope. Never. I guess you think Alien Ant Farm did a better version of Smooth Criminal than Michael Jackson. I guess you think the other actors from Across The Universe did better versions than The Beatles as well. She has a great voice, and does a great job with this song (probably the best COVER of it ever), but to say she does it better than The Beatles is just insane. Your allowed to have your opinion, but it doesn't change the fact that it is wrong.

[AmonKefren]

@gerrylee23

You're full of it, Alien Ant Farm? Really now? Running out of condescending things to say? There is *no fact* when it comes to music taste, for me, this version blows the Beatles away, that's it, nothing you'll scream will change that fact.

No go sit in your John Lennon shrine and let the rest of the world at peace

[gerrylee23]

@AmonKefren No, I am not running out of condescending things to say. You are very wrong about many things, 1st, people can have bad taste in music. Example: Nsync, the Jonas Brothers, and the Spice Girls have sold millions of albums, have millions of fans, and have made millions of dollars, and their music sucks. Just because a bunch of 12 year olds think it's good, doesn't make it so. 2nd, when did I scream?? I didn't use 1 exclamation mark. This version is only a cover, not the original.

[gerrylee23]

@AmonKefren And what does "No go sit" mean anyways? Me no speak caveman. Your whole last sentence was just a mess dude. I assume you meant "now go sit", but you said "sit in your John Lennon shrine".....you don't sit in a shrine, you sit in front of it, usually praying or kneeling. Then you said "let the rest of the world at peace", did you mean "leave the rest of the world at peace?" Umm, what country am I attacking? And lastly, John Lennon didn't write Helter Skelter, Paul McCartney did.

[AmonKefren]

@gerrylee23

Yes, this is 'only' a cover, a cover which that, for *me*, surpasses the original. Deal with it. You sound like an elitist whom thinks his opinion is 'the only right opinion', it's almost like religious zealotry, what's next? Gonna rag on me for liking the Rolling Stones too?

Now quit acting like an idiot and enjoy the music.
