New York City - John Lennon

[teden20]

Is that Jack Lennon? I mean to tell you.... this is one badass mutherfuckin recording. excuse me. I am from Detroit.

[guitarman82656]

John Lennon painted the picture for all of us. He also left the clay and the instructions for what is wrong, and how to fix it. I wish that he could see occupy everything. But you know I think that he's looking down and smiling, saying there you go man. Keep on thinking free. Sail on John. Catch you in the next one.

[ljeanabldr]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

[MrRolo420]

Happy Birthday, master! and thanks for everything...

[scarface12347]

thank you john, you made me wish i didnt live in New Jersey even more.

[TasOMW]

@Beanabear122 you realize that he was born and grew up in Liverpool right?

[arielveloso]

Soy Argentino (I M From Argentine), John Lennon Es El Mas Grande Musico Del universoooo (John Lennon Is A Music + Great Of Universe).

[OroborusFMA]

The only reason every copy of Some Time in New York City shouldn't be burned. And why is it rock bands all were using horn sections between 1972 and 1980? Rock ain't about no horns. Lennon ought to know that.

[figocooldude]

@OroborusFMA And also in the naugthies with Britpop.

[Amiles666]

@OroborusFMA True, still sounds pretty good though!

[Beanabear122]

Heyy,,, that pictures is above my beedd:)

[hazuinf]

Lennon back to his roots. Amazing

[Djo98100]

really reminds me of the ballad of john and yoko =)

[Nineball9100]

great song but dave peel was not john should have put something like his band in there because they did work hard for John '

[matt2004]

@Helmut83

John was always the rockiest Beatle ever since their days in Hamburg and before. He was buddy Holly with a chip on his shoulder!

In the 70's Lennon's songwriting matured and I believe it is in this decade that we saw his best stuff. POB album, Mind Games, Instant Karma, Number 9 Dreams, Watching the Wheels.

[Helmut83]

This is one time John Lennon went back to his roots and it was great. Pity that he did it so little.

[wellitstrue102]

i love when random john lennon songs pop into my head

[alanj7777777]

@wellitstrue102 I KNOW, ITS GREAT INNIT. WINSTON ONO IS THE LEGEND.

[nightcrawler511]

1:28 is a rythum part from i want to hold your hand :D

[Eqr36P]

An underrated gem hidden in the rough not heard or appreciated as much as John's other good songs simply because people (even many Lennon fans) don't bother with the album it's on. Pity.

[JusticieroBurning]

Que pasa new york!

[Nineball9100]

TO BAB he wasted this song with dave peel name in it a liar abou the sinclair gig part 2 thats not dave up there it;s me RONNIE KING from m.s.u.

[Randompzycho]

[nightcrawler511]

@Randompzycho john would want you too :) he supported it :P

[Randompzycho]

@nightcrawler511 it is one of the lines

[nightcrawler511]

@Randompzycho yeah i know lol

[jimiwhitten]

The man liked to rock!

[darthtater342]

Two people are from New Jersey

[TurquoiseChameleon]

@darthtater342 That's not a bad thing.

I bet you'd like to live in New Jersey. Just minutes away from the great city... and yet we get to see trees!!!

We get grass and snow and virtually no traffic. So yeah. New Jersey's bad? Um, no. It's really not.

[willwelsh816]

@TurquoiseChameleon I live in NJ, I hate it :)

terrible education system here, so many budget cuts that there is just no good stuff anymore lol.

[scarface12347]

@darthtater342 hey i love this song and im from jersey lol

[nightcrawler511]

@darthtater342 im from new jersey and i liked it :D

[rfranco469]

@darthtater342 3 now!!



[skynyrdfan56]

Pure rock and roll. Great sound qualitiy. Thanks.

[iamroughdraft]

perhaps one of my fave john songs

[thumbsaloft]

This is Lennons hardest rocking post Beatle song, he practically stopped rocking after the Beatles!

[Helmut83]

@thumbsaloft I agree. They always say John was the most rocker Beatle but this is the only rock song he did in his solo career, then he always did the most slow and boring songs.

[MissMileysFan1]

John è il più grande di tutti i tempi.

[ThatEpicAsian]

Fantastic song!

What album is this song from?! Someone please tell me.

[matyker]

@ThatEpicAsian Some Time in New York City :)

[SalsaShark542]

New York for life! Happy birthday, John.

[1995Sian]

[gilles19522]

the best john lennon

[autisticblog]

The only radio station I've heard this song aired on is Q104.3 in NYC.

[apache2394]

@autisticblog i listen to that station all the time =D

[cpa54]

Such a great song. He really loved New York. He said he was born in Liverpool but grew up in New York.

[mybrucespringsteen]

que pasa new york!

[ureadmymind]

Could someone post the demo of this song from the box set?

[j4unumber1]

Great tune but there is a bittersweet tone to it now...

[truedude86]

A MASTER PIECE!

[BadNews88]

Hard to fathom that The Much Regretted John Winston Ono Lennon, Beatle Emeritus, M.B.D. (ret'd) WOULD have turned 70 on 9 October, 2010..

The music STILL lives on, yes?

[jesusjil]

libertad, igualdad ,solidaridad ,apoyo mutuo =anarquia

[PaulLetItBe]

@jesusjil más bien, paz

[davism5]

This song and most of John's solo material would sound SO MUCH BETTER without all the saxophones!!!

I wonder if software exists where I can delete all of the sax out of my John Lennon mp3's?

[flowerdoodle]

@davism5 You don't like-a da saxophones? I guess he was goin after that New York city 70's rock/soul sound. I always think of Saturday Night Live's band and their sax heavy sound.....Its the sound of early rock n roll---Little Richard's band had saxes.

[sheepdog2c7]

I love this song, going to NY on Sunday!

[shvedr06]

is this steve wonder?

[ZLUGGO]

I love this tune.

[thefourtwentytheory]

OH MY GOD!! Why doesn't everyone here just shut the fuck up. Making generalizations makes people seem ignorant and pathetic. So why don't all of you take your sorry excuse of a life and just SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

[RockNRollMusic567]

Happy Birthday John.

If only we could give you our regards personally

[Ricky91993]

I want his New York City shirt! I'm going as him for Halloween so I might buy one!

[giligara30492]

I really love this song. I'm the hugest Beatles' fan but I had never heard this song from John. It's amazing. I love the rock and roll, and the happiness I hear in John's voice when he sings it. I love it! John is the MAN!

[ebhe0806am]

los angeles city

[jericho360]

Los angeles sucks. New York City is much better. Greatest city on the planet.

[EmoDogShow]

Wow, this is a great song! :D

[tubelogin1]

GREAT! too bad those yank cunts assassinated him, eternal fuckers.

[charljenky29]

It was only one, and he was pretty crazy.

He's a cunt, and some other Americans too, but it's no reason to call the others eternal fuckers.

[tubelogin1]

charlie: hmmmm, it's hard to find a yank that don't fit that apt description hence the sweeping and perfectly befitting generalisation.

[charljenky29]

Whatever.

(My name's not Charlie.)

[tubelogin1]

charlie: good you brought that up cuz that's important here.

[Questinia]

The only cunt around is you. There would be no Beatles without the yanks.

[tubelogin1]

questina, you're an exceptionally ignorant americunt, aren't ya? yes, the unmatched stupidity of your cretinous and ugly species is beyond laughter. keep driveling, you dirty ape. it's most amusing. what else is USA's? stones?

[Questinia]

That is correct. The Stones are American.  Now you're talking you gaping, yeast-infected, condylomatous (look it up idiot), herpetic (look that one up too, cretin), anti-American cunt of all cunts.

[tubelogin1]

quesleeza, your disgusting obese USA hicks produced eagles as an answer to Beatles..... LOL..... and you still haven't come up for an answer for Stones. just keep flapping your ape snout, you pathetic USA loser.

[Questinia]

Tubelogin. You need an enema. You are constipated because you have a log in your tube. Obviously shit has backed up into your brain. Or maybe you like getting logs up your tube. Any of the influences on the Stones or Beatles were American. Read about it. If it weren't for American influences, these guys would be singing English ditties in a music hall

Americans planted their musical seed into the pussy of England. England got pregnant and produced Beatles and Stones. Got a problem with that ?

[tubelogin1]

fuck off, you idiot, with your USA disgusting species of whores and whatever animal you USAn shits have for fathers.

[eshcibibble]

fag not all USA people are fat and hicks and losers. if they were lennon wouldnt have come here and beg the government to let him back into the USA and he wouldnt have made songs about places he loved. correct me if i got the wrong message though.

[tubelogin1]

yeah, you got the wrong message.

i don't care if not all yanks aren't obese bitches. most are disgusting rancid idiots who haven't untangled 911 even. and USA assassinated Lennon so... obese or not, everything yank is criminal and sickening like the USA crowds of the obesity deformed redneck idiots.

[eshcibibble]

i guess if you wanna say that your entitiled to your opinion. USA didnt assassinate lennon. it was a crazy person who was a fanatic who thotught he was part of the band. yes it sounds crazy but indeed is why he killed john lennon. i hate the US govenerment today and oabama but anyway if we were obese and yanks and hicks, it was good enough for john lennon and he loved it here.

[tubelogin1]

eshcibibble: wtf are you driveling about? look it f..ing up. your "crazy person" worked for fbi, was trained to be a hitman, and was issued a gun and ammon in NYC upon arrival, something that's impossible just for anyone.

USA did 911

USA lied about every reason for all the wars

USA tortures kids even

USA assassinated Lennon for talking against the murdering bastards

your knowledge of your own nation you dirty bitches stole from the natives is pathetic

[eshcibibble]

ok i can see your one of those people from britain who still bitch about how they got thier asses kicked 200 yrs ago obviesly if anyones knowledge is pathetic its yours

USA didnt DO 9/11 just typical shit of course you would think. however i dont deny bush was friends with all those terrorists. he was responsible

how did USA lie for all wars. dont gimme ur bs on vietnam or korea either.

really? USA tortured kids you say

BRITAIn i guess we can say tortured everyone hmm? "look it f..ing up"

[eshcibibble]

dont even bother responding to me unless its about the last statement i said.

you know how stupid you sound saying Americas this Americas that, theyre fat, obese redneck well your retarded.

[eshcibibble]

USA didnt assaisinate lennon they deported him he came back. i did look my shit up countless articles, newspapaper saying he was crazy

idiot: the government didnt give him the gun his unknowng friend didt wtf are YOU drivling about? chapman told his wife he was obsessed with killing lennon for months before he did but claimed he snapped out of it

your pathetic attempt to blame a country you dispise because he like the contury you hated most and didnt want to go back to your country

[ThePixelRadish]

You have no proof to support US being behind 9/11, The reason for going into WWII was rather apparent although Vietnam was not necessary.

I'd like to see where you got the information that we torture kids.. that's one of the most bullshit statements I've ever heard.

The US tried to have John deported.. the government was corrupt and nervous. Once again, you have no proof behind Chapman being hired by the FBI.

He was a mentally disturbed fan, it has happened with other celebrities before.

[eshcibibble]

exactly you got everything right on the moneyidk where this idiot got we torutre kids? know where he got it?his ass. i am a big fan of john lennon but did they also wanna deport him because he might have been a little outspoekn of coure the only i think he said was wrong was "more popular than God." but yea also cuz they were nervous and corrupt. and on top of that he didnt wanna go back to britain, he didnt like it there. New York was his favorite place in the world and he loved the ppl as wel

[eshcibibble]

ur just a dumbass with bad teeth

[Darkiv0ry]

Heh you listen to Lennon and yet you act like such a moron. You are the reason the human race gets such a bad name.

[eshcibibble]

y is that? everything i said is true you fool.

[Darkiv0ry]

My mistake, replied to the wrong person.

[eshcibibble]

o sorry man. its cool. i was just lil confused and wasnt sure who it was meant for lol.

[eshcibibble]

i think you got it right but i wasnt sure.

[tubelogin1]

nah, that's USA's fault, all the dumb stupid ugly yank loser hicks. they're the bastard here.

[Darkiv0ry]

Fuck off, ignorance,jealousy and hate are what cause the worlds problems.

[tubelogin1]

you fuck off with the animals you call family. it's your dirty species that's the cause of all problems.

[Darkiv0ry]

See there you go further proving my point. Blatantly insulting someone, just because where they are from, and yet I cause all the worlds problems. Heh. Just so you know Youtube was made by these dirty Americans. So where so many things you probably enjoy in your life. Humans will always be hostile towards each other because of jealousy, a sign your exhibiting right now.

[tubelogin1]

you're an idiot. you started with the insult, you piece of USA shit. now perish in some tent city full of USA homeless losers.

[ZLUGGO]

@tubelogin1

That is just a stupid racist remark. A sign of very low IQ.

[jericho360]

American music is terrible, and I am American. That is why we depended on British music through out the 60's, 70's and 80's. like tubelogin1 said, we have not answered to the Stones, Beatles, or the Who. American music sucks.

[sydneybechet]

Frank Zappa, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin,James Brown, Miles Davis, The Beastie Boys, Nirvana, NIN, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, SRV, Chet Atkins, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holliday, The Ramones, Elvis, Charles Mingus.... You're right american music sucks.

[bartman2090]

The Beatles were just a band, at a time where Amercian musicians were doing crap.

Elvis was doing movies.

Chuck was getting in trouble.

Jerry Lee Lewis was just finished.

Buddy Holly died.

The Beach Boys and The Beatles were the only two bands who were striving to keep Rock 'N' Roll going.

[fatas412]

the 60s american scene was good just not anything post 1969

[Questinia]

Also, my name is QuestinIA. You can't even read.

[JaiBlueCave2]

I love it !

Jaime

[JaiBlueCave2]

I haven't asked for your opinion! So the cunt around here is you. Go watch Cristina Aguilera idiot!

[Questinia]

Sorry, meant my cunt response to tubelogin. Loved the Christina Aguilera comeback BTW.

[Flsrm]

ITS IS JOHN LENNON !!!!!!!!!!!

[misslennon2315]
