    Go open a tatoo shop and write on the world.

  • So you wanna talk shit about John Lennon ??

    And all you are doing when you comment on a video badly us being a selfish rotten bitch

    SO STOP

  • Like hearing John swearing and being his true down to earth self! The song would have more meaning if he were''nt a filthy rich,verry changed,Phoney,really!!

  • two words spring to mind when i hear comments like yours !! head and dick!!

  • @karlzips One word springs to mind when I READ comments like yours,HOMO! Thinking about getting head and dick?You gotta say it adds up!!

    Yeah I'm being immature but who rattled your cage?

    Just coz I said how I feel about John at that time and you don't like me dissing him?

    Well I like John and the Beatles but I think my opinion was valid.

    John changed a lot when he was with Yoko and a lot of it was bullshit!

  • sorry but your still a tosser !! and yes you are immature you need to grow up !! psss everyone seems to blame yoko but on the other hand they think john was a genius well if he was why was he with yoko ?? john loved yoko anyone can see that why dont people just drop it and respect john for his choosing of a partner.. i personally think its a race issue!! yoko made him happy and thats good enough for me.. sorry if you dont like MY OPINION!

  • @karlzips1 Nah,I aint in a hurry to be a boring ''mature'' person,thanks!

    How dya know I''m a tosser?Good guess! I knock one out several times a day when I''m bored or horny or on my own! lol.

    It''s nothing to do with race to me,I''m several races!

    Joko was a marriage wrecker, sleeping with a married man who had a baby.Really classy John and Joko!

    She left a poor Cynthia and Julian out in the cold,coz she is cold,still!

    John was drugged up most days then anyway and Joko manipul;ated him.

    Green Day,rock/goth/emo/punk Kings!!!!!!!!

  • greenday bunch of homosexual no hopers with zero talent

  • ditto

  • I don't know why everyone keeps talking about green day on a video of john's song. I know they did a cover of it, but seriously, go bitch on the video of them. not on here. for christ sake.

    have some sense of where your posting.

    and also, not only people in the UK can relate to this song, Americans can relate to this song as well, a lot of this song relates to shit that goes down in the u.s. as well as the UK.

    we go to school, were expected to go to college for a career we haven't chosen yet

  • LOVE > FEAR

  • Lyrics in this song almost tells a summery of my life....weird

  • The lyrics in the song sum up the life of 99% of the people on planet earth

  • Ecelente trabajo!!

  • legend. will be remembered for generations to come

  • amazing work

  • lennon legend 9

  • It's funny how he actually made a masterpiece with only two chords.

  • three chords

  • you can use only Am and G. I use only those two and it sound the same. If you can you can put the D chord between Am and G but it doesn't really matter

  • Huh?

  • god i love this song...

    ... :)

  • god forbid someone endorses something other than capitalism

    well shit

  • so much better than greenday

  • haha Greenday does have Shit on John Lennon.

  • doesnt*

  • greenday sucks balls

  • agreed.

  • i have to disagree, i like john lennon, and the beatles, but greenday is also very good, just a different style of music, and their verson of this song is great, it is good to listen to alittle bit of everything and not to get stuck in a rut all the time

  • green day has been around since the eighty's and only have one album that is listenable to in all that time. and now two years later or whatever, people don't even give a crap about it any more. they suck balls, whereas lennon died december of 1980, and this song is much older than that, its still a great along with lennon and all his other stuff.

  • so well put.

  • I got the same ideology as john but nobody gives a fuck unless your a big wig.

  • you are all twats rap is the working kids voice and we call them chavs and hate them for the clothes they wear. have you seen how they live makes me want to stab someone

  • Not rich, but not poor, either, truth me told. The others were - no indoor toilets in those council houses. Ringo came from the Dingle - that's poor. Harrison was born and raised in a 2 up + 2 down. Lennon had his own room, they had a garden in front and back. He said right before he died that he 'should have been ashamed to open my mouth to sing that song whilst Ringo Starr was alive.'

  • You're kidding, right? Or don't have a clue what you're on about.

    Harrison was born in a house with no indoor toilet; when he was 7 they moved to a 'nice' place that at least had one. 2 up + 2 down, heat in the kitchen; 4 kids.

    McCartney had the place he did (also w/outdoor privy) because his mother worked for Liverpool as a midwife. They counted eggs, lad.

    John lived in a 7 room, semi- with garden; his own room. Ever been through there?

    Privileged, my ass. Read up, then comment.

  • zauberhaft.

    pur wundervoll.

  • u got no idea at all

  • this song is sooo meaningful !!!

  • your a Twat

  • Great video & great tribute!

  • One of the greatest song writers EVER!! RIP John.

  • amazing <3

  • Great song

    Shame green day utterly destroyed

  • True that.

  • a re kakomoiri sotiri!!!!

  • Every cover of this song I've heard had so soul, and no heart. This message is powerfull, and the whole thing almost made me cry.

  • man, FUCK green day

    this is the shit

  • hell yes!

  • prabaly the greatest rock song ever.

  • wat is with all the spam crap on Lennons Video? have some respect for the man and keep your shit off of it. RIP John Lennnon

  • rip lennon from an fellow scouser you put us on the map respect !

  • Great song but it should be "Middle Class Hero" coz' if you really listen to the lyric that is what it's all about... Yann

  • its about working class because liverpool were hes from is an working class city he new wot the dockers of liverpool went through by getting shit on by our shit goverment !

  • Not bad, but I think the Green Day version is more suggestive and more 'actual'

  • NOT BAD !!! it's the original song by John Lennon.

    John Lennon "not bad" ?????

    Sorry for being rude, but shut up! and show some respect! As GreenDay guys do.

  • fear is a powerful tool

  • haha. this is my life. right here.

    i love john lennon. dont go posting hate comments on this site

  • comment on greenday vids if u wanna talk about them......they didnt do that bad on there cover but Johns is just better

  • Greenday did an excellent version but John's version is simply FANTASTIC!!!

  • green day is one of my favorite bands but i have to addmit they will never be like john lennon he is just unique, a missunderstood genius

  • Im not sure which I like better John Lennon's or Green Day's. I mean Lennon's is the origanl but Green Day is just awesome. I like this one cause its soo calm but I love Billie Joe's voice in the Green Day version. I call a tie. I cant chose anyway cause Im a huge GD fan & my boyfriend is a huge Lennon fan. to hard.

  • why exactly are we going on about the Green Day cover of this song? This isn't Green Day it's Lennon!

  • sera porque soy mas joven pero prefiero agree day por poco porque esta buenisima

  • this is to lucifer umm you dont have to dis greenday just because you dont like them i dont like them that much anyways but still they did a good cover in my opinion and i have a good friend that likes greenday just because you think greenday is bad doesnt mean that they are bad....

  • i dont care john was the main man with beatles from a OLD HIPPY

  • *Comments of hate have no place here* John Lennon gave us all a great gift with this song. The message I hear: There are many forms of control in this world none of which are benevolent. So clear your head, think for yourself, and love your brother. Peace.

  • ahh the real version of the song.Greenday sucks so bad its not even funny they are wannabe punk and punk sucks balls in the first place.why try to be something that sucks.Fuck greenday those fucking faggots could only dream of writing a song like this.

  • Does anyone feel like they blatantly ripped off of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot? It's quite literally the same song, but transposed up.

  • I have never heared a song that causes so many fights, seriously who gives a shit, it's a great song so just sit back and enjoy it

  • I prefer Beatle John, not political John.

  • this isnt just political.. get a clue idiot.

  • probably only 12-15y.o. kids would like greendays version beter than the original....but what the hell most of them probably also like "hanna montana" and "high school musical" so let them enjoy themselves

    jhon lennon is simply the best

  • I like this one better. Green day's is more assurtive and this is just calm

  • ok green day did change it and make it a lil more up beat but u cant beat greatness and john is great

  • I think John Lennon, being who he was, would appreciate the reasons behind the cover that Green Day did, no matter what Green Day changed artistically to make it their own.

  • you all think your so clever and classless and free, but if you want to be a hero just follow me. greenday ruined the song, johns version was gentle and touching and memorable, greenday turned it into a rock song, fuck greenday in the ass

  • John lennon is nice but i really prefer Green Day <3 <3

  • now this version is sick...people just got into this song cause green day covered it...they turned it into crap...ozzy did a good cover of this song greenday sucks balls

  • This is a great video. Thanks for the post. John was way ahead of his time and others. he was an old soul with wisdom and talent beyond his years.

  • Fabulously interesting visuals! Very arty!

  • You can prefer the new version, that's not a crime... Maybe today it's hard to enjoy the sound of this one, it's getting a bit old, but as he said without that one Green Day's one wouldn't even exist...

  • I like the lyrics in this song, Ijust don't like his version musically. Green Day takes this song to another level, but they couldn't have done it w/o John Lennon.

  • wow

  • This is terrible! Green Day's version is sooooo much better! I hate this!

  • Hahaha, what a joke you wrote here exit186123!

  • An extremely funny joke if i may add.

  • idiot. john wrote this song

  • Lennon was ahead of his time. What is behind your money? Not gold. It is YOU! Imperialism sucks.

  • POWERFUL

  • this is still the best song ever, beter then greendays cover. I can't stand those bogens ripping songs like. Working class Hero and Wonderwall!

  • so you know the remix of boulevard of broken dreams and wonderwall?

    its GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • F green day

  • The line about how to be able to go to the top you first have to learn how to smile as you kill is actually the truth in so many ways. Look at the CEOs of insurance companies in the US. They make their money from killing 18,000 a year. Not to mention the other corporations that kill with their practices. That seems to be a prerequisite for many of the wealthy to be wealthy.

  • Our TV leader boldy speaks

    The words of Christ he tries to preach

    We need more power to hold the line

    The strength of darkness still abides..

    "It Must Be Hell"

    Jagger/Richards-1983

  • Both are good fuck.

  • You all don't understand anythin' ; We can't compare Lennon and greenday!It's like to compare Nirvana and Red hot chilli peppers!They don't play the same kind of music.Lennon wrote and played this song on his way and this is a very emotional song played like that; In 2007 Greenday has just wanted to bring a new breath to his song and they played it on their way.

  • In my opinion,With electric guitar and drum it's very different and it makes us to see the agressivity which is behind the lyrics of this song. I do love The two versions! But, thaugh I have all the greenday albums and I am a fan of this great band, I don't think that we'll keep going talking about us 26years after their death like we do for Jhon Lennon. Peace and have fun!

  • this song is great, you fucking idiots cant you get the point of the lyrics fuck you all you posers go write a meaningful song than

  • go lennon

  • great man and great song , but i think that the only working class hero in Beatles he was Ringo . Anyway only a medium class hero like John could write a masterpiece like this !

  • fuck greenday

  • aw shit, the john lennon version is something for old people after 60!!!!!!!!!!!

    green day (the best band of world) did it better!!!!!

  • Good God. I mean, Green Day the best band in the world. Like, mad kapow, where's your mind at? Haha. You crazy psychadelic drugged out bastard.

    No seriously, no disrespect. I respect your taste of music, though I despise it. But don't you fucking ever put John Lennon down compared to Green Day. The GD-version were surprisingly good.

    This song is a masterpiece.

  • Habbka you are full of shit because you are a Green day fan. What does age have to do with a great song? What difference does it make if your 15 or 80? Green Day is pop punk shit. I would like to see Mike Ness from Social Distortion beat Billy Jo (poser punk, poser mod, poser everything) to death with his own guitar.................

  • hahaha ur the shittest peson of world!

    I LOVE PUNKROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the lennon version is tooooo fast for me!;))

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB

  • Buddy, go do something, like watching SpongBob! I don't think you're aloud to insult people over the internet, Mommy wouldn't like it.

  • fuck ya

  • The point is the meaning of the song, not who did it better. Anyone could sing it and it would be a good one.

  • yeah ur right im sorry!

  • The fucking point of the song to be simple, and grim, Greenday's version gets rid of both, Replacing grimness with whining and simple with their fancy acoustics.

  • If you are answering me - splashy - then I am glad you got the point. Wonderful! We have a meeting of the...comments! ;^D

  • your right ^^

    te green day version is a tribute to john lennon "everybody shall know his song!", they said.

  • FuCk Greenday,

    they don't even know the meaning of the song,

    and you probaly just cry to it, you little prick. What went wrong with your generation? Was it Spongebob? I'll kick his ass!!

    It's fine and dandy if you like it better than THE JOHN LENNON's version, but in NO WAY did they 'do it better!!!!!'

    They made it sound like just another shitty teen song.

  • greenday = *&%/" original song is by marilyn manson ;)(Disposable Teens Single)

  • Route 66 was cool though dude, real kick to the song, like a donkey or ass, real good highway song, sure didn't poach that track from '63 man!

  • "try staying on topic" ha ha ha, guess "bad teeth, fish and chips, Millwall F.C. and a Ford council house

    Escort" is then? 2 million dollars, wow dude, 'm impressed, guess you must be about 14 kiddo!

  • To 101Ninjamist101 : from which episode of "family guy" is taken your reference? Thanks.

  • the one where louis loses the car at an indian casino

  • O.o formula1two3... dude... no normal people speak like that...

  • That's 'cos he ain't normal, just an ethnocentric, xenophobic troller who used to be called abtscott.

    Busted dude, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah! What's that Genesis song, Follow You Follow Me?

  • hey formula1two3, dude, shut the fuck up, its cocksuckers like you that get all us other Americans a bad name, may I apologise on behalf of my fellow compatriot, he's a asshole, probally queer, F4 reject, and a troller too.

  • hey, gay people have been a clean industrious people ever since they migrated from France, lol family guy reference

  • give peace a chance and shut the fuck up and listen to the song

  • what I thought, nothing.

  • what have you contributed to society, you benighted troll

  • Mark Lanegan's version of this is something special

  • lets give it up for this guy, i mean john lenon knows what he is talkin about. this song represented an actual and obvious truth that constantly transcends in our lives. Bravo

  • gd to know

  • Who gives a shit which is better u can watch both of them who cares there both good there is no one stopping u from watching either one more than the other

  • i hear u

  • Green Day is no comparison to Lennon....ever

  • This is the Jon Lennon Version

  • NO,  STOP

  • i love green day, i love everything they do, but hell, i like this version better

  • who cares which is better? i like this version better because this guy thought it up. i have no problem with covers, but the original is better. there are a ton of bands today that play beatles songs better than the originals but you know what? nobody listens to them, because this was a revolutionary group who stood on a pedastal miles above all others. no band today has done that, or ever will.

  • green day version is better

  • i like chicken

  • 10 times better than green days version
