[luiswalrus]

good bassline jesus christ... xD

[TTTTTTTTomas]

:D

[chingchangchongfly]

Good night, John Lennon. Good morning, Chris Brown. Now where did I leave those razor blades?

[chingchangchongfly]

This music, like Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, and Beethoven himself, is gone Baby gone... forever.

[annagiana]

John Lennon is king

[beckyloveslennon1940]

whoever got to see john lennon live is very lucky :/

[olamf1977]

the most accurate song on dope addiction!! the fuckin guitar even feels like it.

[4IAMATITOK]

TAXED BY Grouchy Marks

[GaiAlubinur]

check my videos of my favourite tribute band to this song. Cheers!

[legolas35653]

You go jesus !! (on the bass)

[elvispresley718]

bare minimalism sure does sound great doesn't it?

[bluesman341]

been there-done that....

[MrFrederikvd]

I'm viewer 666666 O.o

[SoftGreyRain]

No guys, its Jesus singing!! Viva John

[johnringo1960]

Brilliant song the end gives me the chills.... and i dont know why ?

[1958boomergirl]

This should be required listening and part of the curriculum for any health or social studies class wherein the topic of prescription or illegal drugs is discussed & taught about, either in grade school, high school or college. This song is that important.....even in today's cultural climate.

[papacornflake]

he hit the nail on the head with the hammer in this song

[doribys]

j lennon never deads

[PFJ2999]

COMING OFF HEROIN, OXY PILLS, ETC IS DESCRIBED TO THE T IN THIS WONDERFUL TRACK. THIS TRACK IS BASED ON REAL, RAW, EMOTIONS THAT ONLY GOING THROUGH THE HELL OF WITHDRAWL CAN CREATE. GOD BLESS ANYONE COMING OFF OPIATES....YOU WILL NEED IT.......I SURE DID

[momentarily20]

Billy Talent better...



[movieapple]

Kind of glad they turned off the volume on Yoko's piano on this fantastic track.

[Scum71succer]

He looks like Time Ribbons in Jacobs Ladder in the vid or should I say Tim Looks like John in Jacobs Ladder?

[YTBPM]

I'm lost for words but John says it all..

[mariwyl]

There will never be another John Lennon.

[Beatlescanner]

great concert



[Guitardrumify]

Jesus Christ on bass :D

[seantyler9957]

@Guitardrumify Yes paul was something special.

[imitione]

@Guitardrumify only because it was Lennon.



[Zeik1001]

@Guitardrumify HAHA LAUGHED SO BAD DUDE

[kja427]

This means that if one attempts to get off drugs, one can expect to go through Hell. The moral of the tune: don't use drugs, and you'll be fine.

[JuannabisRoach]

wow, john is tripping the hell out 4:34

[mrbeerjones]

I thought "Cold Turkey" meant coming off of drugs? Correct me if I'm wrong?

[AmazingViper]

@mrbeerjones

Coming off anything addictive at a moments notice is cold turkey. Coming off drugs slowly IE cutting back or substituting until an eventual end is not cold turkey.

[karlitos993]

Es un tema que habla de lo mala que es la adiccion a la heroina. Por lo que dice la letra, y por lo que he leido de el, la letra es totalmente creible. Algunos ignorantes creen que hace apologia del caballo, y es justo lo contrario.Eric Clapton a la guitarra.

[MrSlimjimk]

the grooviest come down i've ever heard

[marc16107]

why could`nt marc chapman of just shot him self instead of john what a cunt!!

[fougee1]

MmMmMmMm!!!!! Good Love that cold turkey with Extra Mayo!!!! MMM!! Good!!

Not so good in the Lennon Referance---That is some bad ass shit--I have a lot of friends it killed--I kicked and it was Hell!!

Rot in prison M.D.C

[unfortunatebeam]

@fougee1 cold turkey with mayo aint that good, not that many Mmms that's for sure. esp with extra mayo, fucking gross...

[fougee1]

@unfortunatebeam -----YA it is GROSS!!!!!!!!!!

It is a Joke! MMMMMMmMmMmM!!

Kind of what he is Singing about Cold Turkey is gross !!

Going through Cold Turkey is more GROSS than any

amount of Mayo and Turkey------ I know -- Maybe you don't

[kocourekvojtech]

where is this concert? THNX for reply :)

[stefano666acdc]

john lennon illuminati!!!!

[Anglynn74]

if Chapman ever gets out of prison (unlikely) he's instantly a marked man, always made me wonder if that's why they never gave him a chance at parole

[scouse2606]

@Anglynn74 Surely the prison he is in has Lennon fans tho? :)

[stellahollywood]

Mark Chapman ... GRRR.

[jgwlesko]

As we say in France 'super extra'

[jminnehan]

Oh I'll be a good boy, please make me well!!!!

[AstroAnt]

I love this song and admire the musicallity and realism of it - and wouldn't change a note, but the reference to hitting all the wrong notes in guitar hero was so apt that I did have to laugh.

[localguy8]

i have to say i once was smoking it never shot it for over 2 years way back when i was younger with other stuff.I went cold turkey and it was bad to be all by your self my good brother supported me thru by keeping my mom in the dark and i hid in my room god it was bad.I have been clean till now no drugs and alcohol since 1982 and have helped a few friends off too.just remember why go thru hell when you have gone thru the dark side do i want to go thru that again

[nanonevol]

hunger is experienced as pain in a way and heroin, the ultimate painkiller suppress this. The junkie has little interest in food. or sex or anything else for that matter, thus the emaciated look.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

He sings about getting off heroin but please, this dude was using again in 1980. Of that I have no doubt. I mean come on, right before he was shot he looked like he weighed around 50 pounds plus looked 20 years older, like a 60 year old dude with a wig on. You could see the ribs sticking out of his chest and two legs that looked like sticks, and everyone believed his shit that he was "on a diet" Yeah OK.

[LVEMEDO]

@JamesTKirkCobain AWESOME COMMENT TY

[Malifurios]

@JamesTKirkCobain He starved himself, Because of a comment made by a journalist in his beatles days called him "the Fat Beatle" Which he took to heart and since then drugs, and his self loathing attitude caused him to starve himself, It wasnt heroin, It was his mind.

[uilium]

@Malifurios Hi! R u sure about that? You have anything to support this? He is describing symptoms of kicking heroin with every word, trust me...have you ever kicked heroin? "On the run"...you know why they call it kicking heroin? Because your legs kick as though your running no matter what position your in(this is an educated guess in interpreting the lyrics). I respect and am open minded to your opinion because I have been wrong before in situations like these(like most people, I would guess)

[uilium]

@JamesTKirkCobain The only reason your average Heroin addict is skinny is because instead of eating or spending money on food they use they're time and money to get more Heroin and don't eat right(heroin does not usually affect the users appetite. John Lennon was rich so, he wouldn't be a skinny Heroin addict...Speed or maybe Cocaine would make him skinny though. This song is about kicking heroin though I would bet my life on it...Did u know why they call it kicking heroin?

[pandora3891]

dont even say his name thats all that sicko killer wanted out of johns death

[MattsFalloutFactory]

A friend of mine just died from a drug overdose. This was one of his favorite songs, and it really portrayed his inner struggle with himself. He was only 18.

[ShadowOfTheScarred]

is that jesus rocking on right behind john ??!!?? 0.25

[charizard9600]

@ShadowOfTheScarred no your wrong john lennon is jesus no better

[chillindog222]

@ShadowOfTheScarred is that god next to jesus?

[felixq78]

@ShadowOfTheScarred It's Leyland Sklar you numbnuts! Why do adolescents think that they are the first to make smart arsed cracks about the appearance of others when it's clearly obvious that it's been said hundreds of times over and over again. Stupidity maybe?

[ShadowOfTheScarred]

@felixq78 dont be a hypocritical people hav told me this b4 its a joke get used to mr.grumpy .. geez some people these days..... like really take a chill pill do drugs, be cool man . only the cool can do heroin and ecstasy

[Gradenrice]

@ShadowOfTheScarred Since Lennon IS Jesus, I don't see why he would be next to him at 0:25. XD

[kozmicblues14]

@ShadowOfTheScarred lol I thought the same thing when I was watching this when they showed this on vh1 classic:) lol I was like Holy Crap is that Jesus? see even Jesus like to rock with john Lennon

[GuillomSG]

@ShadowOfTheScarred Yes man is him, no doubt

[rosiedog1]

@ShadowOfTheScarred Ha! I believe you are right. JC in the building.

[aebelmonter]

@ShadowOfTheScarred As the bible says.

[Yur0ski]

John is God for me, him and his music are part of my religion :D

[Yur0ski]

Mark Davi Chapman is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck you Chapman John Is God for me :D

[dictator54]

hey if yur stupid enough to get wired on heroin buck up i did it a lot has to do with yur mind and if yu ar really ready to let go i managed to give up drugs and booze and find myself dyin of c.o.p.d and can't give up smokin, but i must agree nuthin is easy if yu get caught up in the culture it's a long road back and i give a big thumbs up for those who have !!!!!!!!!!

[Meyepadwe]

at :16 and :29 john hits the wrong note on guitar hero

[3rk4u]

been there done that cold turkey/fukin killer.

[tiddlywinks98712]

this is gonna sound wierd to most people, But the way he dresses during this ere, and along with the guitar he uses is very similar to a 70s Bob Marley.

[95shadowrider]

listen to billy talent'scover men

double speed

[themelmanos]

OH damn whats a fucking great person. Whats a fucking great  SONG

[TriiXaReFoRkiDZz]

Yoko and Linda BOTH know how to play leyboards? Snap!

[dictator54]

He did leave his first family lot of people didn't realize he was married the first time it was kept a secret but lennon in the end did feel bad bout that choice he had made as bein human we all makei'm as long as we come to terms of wat we've done

[MrJeff1947]

BRILLIANT!!

[MrDJUwe]

Great song, I like it very much! John, you´re importent, your songs, your lyrics, until quit yet. R.I.P. Last friday evening we´ve had a tribute to John in northern germany in the city Plön with three local live bands with songs from John and the Beatles, lyrics over John with Madjazz "John" Morales and DJ Uwe.

[thor6580]

look!!! it's Jesus on the bass!

[7294smk]

John Lennon song about getting off herion, cold turkey.

[johnqpublic2718]

r.i.p. john.

[TheKerato]

30 years ago today....

As somebody wrote: "Who in the world would murder a Beatle??"

[felixq78]

@TheKerato The same people who are destroying the US economy, created 911 and are about to bring the axe down on the American people that's who. They have FEMA camps waiting for you all. It's the FOURTH REICH and they got rid of John because they knew that he was capable of awakening millions of people.

They've been slowly infiltrating the USA and the west. They run the show not Obama.

[gerry3x]

((`J`))

[FabBeatles]

Ringo on drums. (Studio version) :)

[thor6580]

@FabBeatles Eric Clapton on guitar. (studio version)

[yasmia666]

opiates???????????Dont; dabble! lennon hits the nail right on it;s head with his lyrics feel and sounds with this track!HEROINS A WHORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaketodate]

And you sir need to lighten up. I doubt you know his music that well otherwise you would have recognised the reference to his own lyrics in one of his other songs. I never said I hated him anyway, did I?

[19HALLOWEENJACK84]

God (whomever), bless Julian, Sean, Yoko and all.

[carrywet]

Sound quality is awful.

[sidewaysid]

I know what he means

[hanghang71]

@sidewaysid me too ,when he say's i wish i was a baby,i wish i was dead.He hit the nail on the head there

[jaketodate]

I don't believe in John Lennon. He was just another wanker getting rich on telling the sotry of all the pain in the rest of us. Fuck him and fuck his cold turkey. So what, it is not as if he is the only one who has ever done cold turkey and I bet his wasn't in some shit hole all alone in the freezing cold like that of a lot of rest of us mortals.

[cockywatchman1976]

@jaketodate Haha, true. Kinda glamorises it in some ways-like it's all rock and roll. When it's not. But still, top tune and it's lyrically accurate! My lyrics would contain "shitting on a toilet all day" and "wanting to jump out the window" haha

[MrAlbinoPanther]

@jaketodate Anyone who agrees with your statement is an idiot.

[AlexanderSigal]

@jaketodate good statement.

[xXColdaustinXx]

@jaketodate I'm sorry but if you don't like or believe, whatever the hell you want to call it. Exactly why are you here watching John Lennon? He didn't only wright songs about pain, you know nothing about Lennon. He expressed his emotions in song, if that's something you can't do, that's your own fault. However, there's no reason for you to come looking at videos just so you can hate them. You are a ignorant fool. You sir, are in deep water and it's best to close a mouth in deep water.

[adders42]

@xXColdaustinXx

Nicely said! ;-)

[brian19831]

@xXColdaustinXx I think the problem he might have and I somewhat agree with is no really words can justify the pain someone coming off of heroin really goes through. Lucky for me I have not withdrawn in jail but some people do while thrown in a cell with no blankets, no shower, or any meds to help them get through. I think some people just dont think words do enough to really tell the whole story. I love Lennon and his songs but the beatles rejected it from their album for a good reason.

[adders42]

@jaketodate

Nicely said! ;-)

[dirtybird1972]

I still have a hole in my pocket !

[zapsmom]

fuck you mark david chapman. we had to loose John cold turkey because of you

[adders42]

@zapsmom

;-)

[AdamHH11]

@zapsmom John Lennon was a good, peaceful man. . . let's not remember his death and murderer, but his life and music.

[uilium]

@zapsmom Amen to that zapsmom!

[kainthevampireduck]

@zapsmom please people, stop naming that guy, his name should be banned for ever, he should rot in jail and his name should never be mentioned :)

[mckingbur]

Peace and Love are stronger than Pain, Sorrow and Sadness.

Happy birthday John Lennon. You change us all for good! Love you!

[notpcone]

Happy B day John! You are sooo missed.

[7294smk]

good

[kellilainedoa]

listening to this will make a person jones-- it's THAT good!

Happy Birthday John! We miss you madly!!!!!!

[1995Sian]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

[DreamworxCanada]

You might say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. <3 Miss you John, Happy Birthday.

[BritishBluesMan89]

happy birthday john!

[piraterice]

This whole album is just pure genius..

[shakedown5000]

"....i'll promise you anything, get me out of this hell!" Happy Birthday John...free as a bird now.

[bluesboy25000]

Happy 70th birthday John. From a 19 year old American Kid who was influenced greatly by you. Thank you for your music. I was born on December 9, 1990, ten years and one day after your murder. You are always my hero for your honesty and willingness to stand for what you believed in

[90Grimm09]

@bluesboy25000 im happy to be born on his birthday and i have been listening to his music for aslong as i can remember

[cclady222]

Happy Birthday John.  Thank you for you gift to us

[SaarduLady]

I was shocked to hear that heroin use is on the rise again. Anyone who's ever known a heroin addict wouldn't even consider trying it once.

[crackheadmanning]

not one of his big hits but i like the fact it was not played out

[TommG6000]

kewl jam...BTW the army patch Johnnie has on is the 2nd Infantry /division...considered an excellant unit, (some say better than the 1st ID...)

[TheKirillLee]

Look at our cover please)by John Lennon-Imagine

[MrsFingerful]

People say quitting cigarettes is harder than quitting heroin. And it's total bullshit!!!! Try not sleeping for TWO WEEKS!

[cockywatchman1976]

@MrsFingerful Haha, yes, so true. Im on day 20 off heroin, still no more than 2 hours a night. Losing my mind! Cigs-I just stopped smoking-easy! I have a craving to smoke cigs sometimes-but its not even a millionth of that to use Heroin

[boogiechillen123]

@cockywatchman1976 good luck man. i quit a year ago and cant stop the cigs but its not even the same smoking now that im clean. stick with it, if you can get through a few months, you wont even need to use like you did. i was on it for 2 years and used everyday, when i quit, i did it cold turkey, no rehab. i thought i'd never be able to deal without it but since last Oct 16 i haven't used. you can do it!

[tedGEGI]

@MrsFingerful I have---it's called working 3 jobs simultaneously to survive

[cockywatchman1976]

@MrsFingerful 2 weeks? More like 2 months to get a half decent night! Fucking murder opiate withdrawal

[nestorguti2176]

@MrsFingerful yea seriously, nothing compares with withdraw from opiates..worst thing ever!

[ItsGrimUpNorth7]

@MrsFingerful ..Heroin is out your system in 3 days if you have the balls rattle for 3 days (fact). Nicotine is a much stronger addiction than Smack (fact).

[uilium]

@ItsGrimUpNorth7 In a way your right but have you ever kicked Heroin?

[ItsGrimUpNorth7]

@uilium .. I'm on 30 mills per day methadone as we speak. (not proud of it tho)

[brian19831]

@ItsGrimUpNorth7 You are crazy man I stopped smoking twice and ended back smoking again once back on smack. I am two days without dope now and the withdraw lasts about a month. The things Lennon talks about only last about a week, but he does not describe even half of it.  Diarrhea, cold sweats when you have a fever, restless leg syndrome, cant sleep more than an hour if you sleep at all, no appetite on dope I lived off of cereal v8 juice and vitamins for bout a year now, severe anxiety

[ItsGrimUpNorth7]

@brian19831. When you talk about dope are you talking about solid or weed? I smoke it every day but it's not a physical addiction just a mental one, where cigarettes are the worst, the nicotine is a strong drug and is only legal because the government make millions from the tax from them thats why they hate ppl buying cigs on the black market, they say they're not safe but the real reason is that they are missing out cashwise. Lennon was probably in rehab and well looked after.good points tho m8

[ItsGrimUpNorth7]

@brian19831. The diarrhea, cold sweats, pain and anxiety are commonly known here as rattling your cunt off and it's not nice I was taking Subutex for a while which helped but as soon as you come off it you are back to square one again people are different but it took me 3 days to come of the kit and it felt like 3 years im clean now but im taking vallium and tems now. I still think of heroin but you have to cut yourself away from ppl who take it. i still say kicking cigarettes is worse.Its shit!

[brian19831]

@ItsGrimUpNorth7 heroin, I was on Suboxone and still have some left, but that does nothing to get you of of opiate addiction because it just replaces it. Anyway now I am w/d off of both of them and clean from everything but cigs. I quit cigs with the patch and as loing as you follow directions its easy to stop smoking the only thing you have to avoid is the habit and liking of smoking cigs. Opiate addiction is just stop doing it and endure the pain.,

[ItsGrimUpNorth7]

@brian19831 .. Sorry mate, we call weed green, blow, hash ,dope, ganja.. whereas heroin is gear kit, dan or plain ol smack !.... Mehadone ius just a replacement too for heroin but if you take meth with heroin ur in the shit lol so i dont crave heroin anymore. i never jagged it though, i was loyal to the foil and chased it.. The only way to stop smoking is too look at the 6 inch piece of shit and say, your controlling my life !!. i never tried patches im just gonna stop, but i will crack up lol

[uilium]

@MrsFingerful well...theres methadone XD(LOL) Talk about hard to quit!

[marc16107]

@MrsFingerful yeah i know that`s bull shit i`ve never had stomach cramps eyes and nose watering constant and chills for a cigarette

[marc16107]

@MrsFingerful yeah ive never had stomach and leg cramps eyes and nose watering and chills for a cigarette

[marc16107]

A cold turkey is hell and heroin is`nt glamorous when your shitting`pissing `sweating being sick. john screaming at the end of this song and although i love this tune it`s not glamorous some musician try to glamourise`s heroin and believe me its not and john hit the nail on the head with this tune. i just wish some one could hit mark chapman on the head with a nail no fuck nail use the hammer

[charizard9600]

@marc16107 john wasn't glamorising heroin he was talking about how the stuff fucks you up

[blerim250]

Oh my God what beautiful song! Lennon is so great. I think he's no.1. The beatles are John Lennon!

[red5media]

He reenacted the sounds he made trying to quit heroin at the end of the track thats what the screams and moans are all about

[grochszeczek]
