  • It's a cover, not the real song, so nothing's happened to the original song, so go listen to that song if you hate this one so much.

  • I guess it just me, but the U2 version of this song is better, never been much of a Beatles fan. They wrote their own songs but what did their songs mean? They were doped up(I'm not judging) and they were just putting words together.

  • @aamanitwo

    This is the most stupid thing I've heard all week, and it's been a long week.

    Read into things. Their lyrics make a lot of sense.

    Either way, this cover is horrid and should burn.

  • @TheSquishyTanker I did and the Beatles music is so basic it's frustrating to listen. They give credit for writing their own songs but "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was just a picture John's son drew. The Beatles are whitebread, no soul like Led Zep, The Stones, or U2

  • @aamanitwo

    ...you're kidding, right? Lucy in the Sky was BASED of a picture, his son didn't write it for them. And, you've obviously never listened to Helter Skelter, Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End or tons of others to say something as ridiculous as "The Beatles are whitebread".

  • @TheSquishyTanker Whitebread, Don't debate when Ringo Starr wasn't even taken seriously in the band. Wasn't Pete Best the first choice, but he didn't want to be in a "boy band" and want to be himself, which the Beatles became anyway, themselves. U2's version is better to me, Stop acting like there were no music before or after the Beatles. Yeah they wrote their own music but Bob Dylan was better, didn't Dylan tell the Beatles to stop writing pop songs?

  • i love u2, but i prefer the beatles version

  • This is from the Pop album. POP, people, Get it? I think it is hillarious.

  • U2 blows the Beatles AWAY! The beatles hardly made it 10 years, they never came close to any kind of record grossing tour. This song was remixed for starters and was on the Pop album, which was a change of sound for them.

    The beatles simply came along at the right time...in esscence...they were LUCKY!

  • @dashasohn I love U2, but I also love the Beatles. They had plenty of record breaking tours, and that was back in the 60's. They were as revolutionary for their time as U2 are today. U2 love the Beatles, just look at all their covers. There's this, they covered Instant Karma once, and Bono often sings Blackbird at the end of 'Beautiful Day'. Without the Beatles, U2 probably wouldn't sound like they do, if they were around at all.

  • in fairness...has anyone covered a beatles song right?...no one has even come close to the beatles...they set the bar...and that bar...is way up there...

  • holy smokes, this was awful.

  • sounds like theyre trying to be depeche mode covering the beatles? what a load of shit

  • In all honesty, I don't know if the Beatles would have particularly fancied this version, but as musicians I know they would have respected U2's curiosity and ambitious approach to the song. Personally, I think it's extraordinarily different in a very good way.

  • Cool ♥ I love this song :)

  • You don't get it: it's a buddhist lesson on vacuity...

  • this song rocks but if your an over the hill beatles fan hard core . then you wont get it,some things can be improved u2 did that for this song sorry beates groupys

  • oh no! why? this is such a good song by the beatles

  • @teigue1986 yea im a hardcore beatles fan, but yea this song is awesome. but theoriginal is a little more eire. wich is unique

  • this kinda blows... a lot

  • I kinda dig it '-'

  • might as well have just spit on the beatles grave. seems more like mockery

  • The Depeche Mode early 2000's mix... ugg. Love U2, but this isn't too good.

  • Cacky poo poo nah nah!

  • Two words: (a) pig's; (b) ear.

  • I'm a huge U2 fan. But I'm also a huge Beatles fan and this kinda sucks.

  • Leave it to U2 to wreck a great song.

  • @revnmalak oh the original is ruined now? You can't find it anymore? That's a shame. Its' a cover, not ment to eb a carbon copy.. If this was NIN people would be "whoa very interesting" but it's U2 so people bag on it. Oh and a little FYI original isn't ruined. You can still listen to it any time you want and it will be as good as ever despite your feelings on U2's version here.

  • @Hallucination well said!

  • YouTube culture dictates that you should seek out songs you dislike and flame them for no reason. Irony is mocking others egos while pumping up your own with anonymity.

    It's easy to hate and hard to love.

    Just move on.

  • what a shit !

  • I hate both U2 and Bono. He seems to think he's as good as the Beatles. What a joke! None of his songs will stand the test of time. They are just noise to me.

  • @dandan478 it ruined the song dude i thought it would be cool, but nope

  • kill it with fire

  • Yikes. Makes APC's cover of When The Levee Breaks seem brilliant.

  • wow I'm usually pretty cool with people doing different versions of stuff if it's creative or avante guard but this is just really a project gone wrong if there ever was one. this is just really not very good, in fact pretty bad.......

  • More meandering crap from washed up U2. They should have quit 20 yrs ago when they were ahead and not making fools of themselves. Boner lost it somewhere 'round mid 90s and has never returned to normal. He's a slightly thinner Elvis (fat/later yrs)

  • Have loved U2 since before October. Love their covers (incl. Helter Skelter).

    what is this crap. Happiness was one of John's best songs and maybe one of the reasons we all bought the white album in 1969. this has to be joke for some dance clubs minions who don't care about music, just a cool line and a repeated beat. sorry, I have to vomit now

  • THANKS! asshole... My ears began to bleed as soon as this begun. Now I'm off to the hospital. U2 SUCKS!

  • Fuck you Bono. Dig a hole and bury your ego, you douchebag.

  • U2 is a joke. Didn't anyone think this was actually gonna be cool?

  • Ruined

  • brutal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is way too good!!! those who says that this is shit is cuz they dont understand music they just listen to songs but dont really enjoy music

  • WHISKEY

    TANGO

    FOXTROT

    ?

  • This is awful- i was just a little bit sick in my mouth.

  • interesting cover, why does bono look like robin williams? lol

  • 148 people don't like the beatles

  • terrible the tune the everything! i like u2 but this is crap

  • Shut up ! U2 areFANTASTIC!! and this version is very nice.. maybe alot diffrent then the original, but still they bring something new to the table!! VERY NICE

  • FUCK YOU

  • I convinced most of you foul-mouthed folks knocking this song are not Beatles fans, most of them don't speak with such a fervor!

  • pure unadulterated shit don't fuck with a true classic

  • I like this! It's hard to improve on any Beatles song but they did it. I like the hip hop beat and the rapping!

  • @sloth85 You can't improve a Beatles song. Interesting cover but yeah sod off Bono

  • And if you think U2 can't covering The Beatles songs,listen to there version of "Lucy in the sky with diamond" and you 'll never tell that anymore :p

  • This is no really a cover,This his just a Joke,like "Dazed and confused" by Nirvana or "Another Brick in the Wall" by the Guns N Roses.

    I love U2 and the Beatles.But I know U2 make some mistake beteween 30 years,they are human

  • o i cant help it. i know this cover sucks and yes i know the original totally kicks ass, but hell, i fuckin fuckin love this tune! maybe its just because its u2 stuff that everyone seems to hate. they're just genius. everytime i just try to forget its a beatles cover. this is awesome

  • the best band of all times

  • bono, you did good in the movie leave it at that? please

  • Pretentious bs. The worst cover ever. And I like U2.

  • lol i like how people just automatically hate it because its U2. i bet none of you actually formed a real opinion about it.

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck you BONO

  • poo

    fuck

    que horrible!

  • poo

  • increible

  • i never ever thot id ever say this about a beatle song, but this is fucking terrible. bono is a lennon/mccartney wannabe.

  • i'm still saying it U2 R UNSKILLED

  • I am a huge U2 fan. Not every recording is genius. This was ill conceived and produced.

  • I can't believe the hate there is for this song. I always liked it. I liked the dark psychedelia of this version. And that's what it is: a version. But then some Beatles fans seem to think the Beatles invented music itself.

  • @AndPlus , they actually invented it man

  • They treated this song as if it were a joke . Shame..,

  • LOVE that U2 is never afraid to be different and do something "outside the box" AWESOME

  • FUCK YOU¡¡¡¡

  • Quelle horreur!!!

  • WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO A GREAT SONG?! SHAME ON YOU SHAAAAAAAAME!

  • I bet 'BO - NO' wanted to do this

    I like U2 but they can be shit and try look so good about it

  • why did they do this? u2 is good they could have done better...

  • Yes this truly sucks, but these guys are just a child band compared to the beatles

  • blech

    

  • Mother Superior

  • they fucked up the song

  • I have never heard anything so horrific in all my life.

    Especially considering how brilliant the original song is.

  • i lasted 40 seconds-- thx for ruining a great song U2

  • Wow, U2 is really the best ...

    In srewing with beatles songs!

  • i like it, different bold, a different take

  • yet another fuckn horrible cover 

  • err...Bono, better stick to charity, this shit ain't working.

  • Bono is horrible, has been for many years!!!

  • seriously, there's making something your own and then there's this garbage.

  • si, interessante .. ma dove minchia sono finite tutte le misure dispari che tanto mi piacevano?

  • its like literaly raping the beatles song.....

  • um granda nojo!!!

  • fuck you bono

  • fucking terrible

  • totaly SUCK!!!!

  • U-Poo!!!!

  • Awesome!!

  • Oh, I get it. By gun, he means cock.

  • Greatest band of all time? How about greatest posers of all time. These guys are a fucking joke.

  • hell yeah this is shit bono suck dick big time!

  • Wow, even Across The Universe did a better cover.

  • I just found the best way to ruin this song. Here it is by U2

  • don't get me wrong. i love U2 and all but they totally fucked up this Beatles tune.

  • terrible shit.

  • great rhythm and sound

  • this is a fuckin great cover! it's completely different from the Beatles' one, but it fits perfect in U2 sound from Pop Era!

  • bono really like the beatles..

  • LEAVE IT TO U2 TO MESS UP A TOTALLY PERFECT SONG.....BONO....YOU SUCK!!!

  • Quite horrendous. A good listening is the "B for Bang" cover i think.

  • pero q mierda es esa tanto c parten la madre esos welles para acer estas mierda i para transformar algo tan maravilloso d los beatles en algo d mierda d un grupo d mil conchas como U2 no mames

  • Happiness would be a warm gun which just shot at my head in response to this terrible cover.

  • Why did you do this Bono? WHYYYY? I respect you as an original musician but your covers really stink...

  • bang bang

  • Ach du Scheisse....... die sollten sich schämen für so nen Mist !!!

  • this shit sucks

  • awful, bono. stick to the walrus

  • eh not as good as the Beatles or lennon to be more specific but at least theyre trying to bring the Beatles to more little youngins which i appreciate

  • pure shit. 

  • @Darkhartx1 no it's not

  • @Darkhartx1

    This shit is awesome. hahaha

  • Playing random chords and throwing in a Beatles song for the title does NOT make it Beatles.

  • this is so fucking bad

  • that was terrible

  • Vaya mierda

  • I have to thank U2 if i know this song .This was their style all along the recording of POPMART.I believe they just wanted to let youngsters in their teens to get to know BEATLES music which i believe is a great cause to support

  • I think this cover just ate a bit of my soul.

    And not in a good way.

  • bono is the record, breeders su jebali kevu ovoj stvari, a ti si govno

  • What the fuck is this?!?!?! i'd rather listen to a saudi arabian penny- whore take a shit in a porta-potty

  • well, just read it: it's a mix and they were trying out something new...perhaps it didn't work out, but stop shitting around about Bono, he and U2 have dominated music for the last 25 years and with their influence for future bands to come!!

  • it sounds possesed

  • Ma vai a cacare...

  • Well...don't know why, but I really like it...of course the original es better, as it always is, but all in all, I like this one.

  • pff fuck you bono! :D

  • @jviiermdza and fuck you too by the same occasion!

  • vuvuzela button anyone? 

  • ya ni la chingas cabron, desgraciaste la rola vete al carajo

  • you are make me feel shame to be a beatles fan...

    i'm sure that lennon as a progressive and open minded songwiter would love this version!

    this cover was a progressive experiment in the middle 90s. a beatles fan should respect it even he dosen't like it, as the beatles was quite experimental in the 60s as well.

    music did not stuck in 1970 like you guys!

  • Fucked it up.

  • This cover fucking sucks,I hate U2 even more now just cause of what they did to such a awesome song.

  • I can´t belive....aaaaarg...my ears my ears. they destroy the song.

  • This version is way better than the Beatles version!

  • @NotATrollSwear2God what the FUCK are you talking about??? he killed it!!

  • @shadowdaemon96

    Based on his name, he's obviously a troll, so just ignore him.

  • BASURA , MIERDA U2 CACA

  • THE BEATLES VERSION IS WAY BETTER! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

  • Yeah what the last guy said I guess, it's just too everywhere. The beat though is terrible considering it's a Beatles song... also Bono rapping is about as bad as Lil Wayne trying to sing "rock" music.

  • This actually isn't as terrible as you guys are making it out to be. It's got a good beat and Bono's vocals are decent-- it's just that it's very all-over-the-place and extremely hard to follow and pay attention to for a while.

  • i love U2 but they've tried some weird crap in their day....

  • I really like this stuff...

  • god i hate bono this remix sucks

  • u2 is only fuckin steeling everything from the beatles

  • Bitch Mother! Its the Plastic BONO Band

  • fucking U2.....

  • it´s a rape of the beatles

  • Good god

  • for that kind of reasons i hate u2 fuck you bono and all your mother fuckers ideas

  • bono what have you done

  • is it a mix? (I don't believe that u2 can be that bad). Someone say please where I can find the original cover:/

  • oh no.... song raping

  • Atrocity.

  • I love U2, but this is wrong .. just wrong.

  • I dont know who decided Bono was so cool, but I really frickin hate this guy for some reason, The Edge should go out on his own get away from this loser band! Dont mean to be a hater, just got a right to voice my opinion and I'm gonna do just that.

  • Fuck U2 and Fuck Bono

  • Yikes..I expected better.

  • this is terrible. They should try something new instead of destroying a work of art.

  • Bono.. what the hell, man.

  • This cover sucks balls! I thought a band like U2 would have been more respectful of the classics..especially the Beatles repertoire......fuck you Bono!

  • This is fucking terrible.

  • cool cover very different

  • i need a fix. whatever that fix might be. talking about what might be... i gotta cover of this great song that i do not pretend to do justice to but i'd love your opinion and not mine. much love, amor, y paz

  • This is shit.U2 are a shit band anyways they just know how to play the game,I'd rate Oasis as being a 100 times better then them and I would'nt even bother trying to compare them to the Beatles who are just the best there ever was and ever will be. U2 lovers don't start slaggin me off now im just being honest sure I'm from were they're from and I don't even know anyone who likes them

    The Across The Universe actor's version is alright though!!!

    BEATLES 4 EVER

  • The Beatles version ROCKS!

    U2, taking a music of the greatest band ever, and making it a big SHIT!

    From Brazil

  • Is this video official?

  • Is The Beatles' version better? Well, yes, clearly. They were the ones who wrote it and they are the best band of all time.

    This was the B-side to a song on U2's shittiest album, Pop. And the whole album was this kind of thing. I'm a huge~ U2 fan, but I never quite understood their electronic phase.

    All that being said, this version is different, but it's not shite. It's pretty good, and there are a lot of covers that are worse.

  • this is disgusting. U2 should be put in jail for taking such a great song and turning it into this pile of pigshit

  • u2 just massacred this song... Music has really gone downhill.
