I have to wonder how many people who've heard Lenny sing this know that this song was actually written and recorded by Michael Kamen of the New York Rock Ensemble in 1971.
Kamen went on to writing scores for film and was nominated for two Academy Awards and won three Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, two Ivor Novello Awards, an Annie Award and an Emmy. While I like Lenny's arrangement of the song, I like the original better.
i dont really like the way guns n roses play, includng slash, but in here kravitz and slash perfectly fit together and the song is absolutely epic. why there arent more songs like this? yeah and isnt there any part of the solo made by kravitz? i mean can kravitz make good solos? never heard many from him..
@Schmann213 Wat happened is that learning how to play guitar the right way became to difficult and teens couldn't pull off the scales and shit...lazy..but ima try to bring this type of rock back because i gotta have guitar solo's in my music...Rock Business needs some REAL Rock Bands TODAY...WE NEED tHE ATTITUDE Back!!
no-one cares when listening to music.. that was the greatness of the 70's and 80's you were famous if you were good.. not just because you were hot. And it's spelt Ugly :)
I guess that no one cares that this is originally a song by "The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble" from the early 80's. In fact, I bet everyone was counting on that fact! Just want to give writing props where they are due. Do a search for the original. Nothing is new for this generation.
@xxxnickkyxxx lets try to remember axl of late 80's early 90's.... Axl's solo band performances are a mere shadow of his former self. :) lets say different?? :P
yeah, i was joking around really, indicating he's androgynously good looking...very handsome fellow who in the right garb could easily pass as a beautiful woman -didn't mean to cause offence just bring a smile to someone's face but i can see how it might irritate his fans -i've favourited Fields of Joy, beautiful song -Kravitz's got a fantastic voice, almost pitch perfect, pure natural ability, one of the best, but again he hits notes most male singers can't get near(Beach Boys, Barry Gibb-ish)
A bit more history: Lenny learned this song at age 12 while singing with the California Boys Choir. The drug references in the original lyrics were removed so the kids could sing it, and when Lenny brought the song into his repertoire, he asked me if he could use my drug-free lyrics, and the rest you hear on this track. I'm glad you like it - so do I !!!
Thnx for adding this great vid, I like´em both, they have to much in common, they´re half black-white, they are very fashion, they pretty much look alike, they´re both big rock stars, etc etc
i also have a similar ethnic background, half white and black. I play the guitar but can only hope that i can achieve such an artistic talent. hopefully one that surpasses them. I admire them and wish to spread the message as well. Remember the name BASS.
Thats because slash was at the continuation part of beverly hills high while lenny was in the regular classes. slash was kind of a problem child but that just goes to show that talent isnt a matter of book smarts it comes from the SOUL. The two in my eyes are legends, yes jimi hendrix is wonderful. We can only pray that rock and roll returns to its roots in some way or another. the world is in constant replay. I went to beverly hills high also for a little then i transferred to crenshaw
Craig is a god playing guitar but lenny is also there. (check his Bio) The men been with legends including Slash who went to school with him and jam together, following some of the roots of Jimi Hendrix. Plus he still a top guitarist who write most of his songs with passion n whos name remain as Lenny Kravitz. Many of the rock heros we known are just forgotten ancient history but if u were to sit down and do the math 1990 til 2008 Lenny is Still kicking A55
oops, sorry, oh well, no offense, but, great song, cheers. slash is like my all time legend and i recently got realy into this kravitz greatest his cd, it kicks ass!! so i heard alays on the run had slash in it. i've got realy addicted to playin all the little licks kravitz does on the guitar. JOE.
Slash is my biggest idol on guitar too, and i like Lenny Kravitz as well. If you like him, i think you should search songs from him,like Lady,Are you gonna go my way,or his latest album,It is time for a love revolution :)
yh, my dad bought a c.d a cupple ov yeers ago, and wen he died, i remembered hearing "are you gunna go my way" on lodes of film soundtracks, and then i decided 2 look 4 the c.d, it kicks arse!!
also, what i love about him, is he is so varied in his style, like, "it ait over til its over" to "always on the run"(wich also had slash(mega bonus!!!)) (more in next post, couldn't fit it all in!!)
yep,Lenny can change his style,for example, he sounds really awesome acoustic,if you intrested,theres a video response to this song,its called "Rosemary",you should give it a try :)
