This! I been listening to this song (the original and various cover versions and even the acoustic version) and it’s only now watching this video I realise the first line is “load up on guns” 🤯

It's all Mick Jaggers fault. You could always tell what John, Paul, George, or Ringo were singing.

Too awesome. I love a cover that respects and preserves the essence of a classic song yet isn’t afraid to bring to it a new dimension. This version is that exactly.

Wait. The original SLTS has understandable lyrics?! Well… it does now thanks to the UOGB. That's a cool steel uke Peter was playing there. And he did a surprisingly decent American accent.

While funny, did not quite get that viscous, slightly offbeat rhythmic pattern of strumming of the original. But I guess It's kinda hard with doubling parts and not the point.

@johnny5805 3 жыл бұрын

I'm sure pros like this got the chords right, but the main rhythm just sounds WRONG for some reason.

@pamstewart7243 2 жыл бұрын

The original drags just behind the beat. It’s like a bluesy emphasis. This video, by Rick Beato, who explains all kinds of music theory, where it discusses the drums, is a great explanation of this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opeKobqUktmqlGQ.html

You have exactly 1 person that can hold a tune, and seem to not want to use him nearly as much as you should. Its a shame, I really want to like you all, but the constant horribly out of tune lead choices are so bad I literally cant listen without cringing. I lasted until the fourth word of this one before I closed the video in horror.

Wait we must tell them that they will get no where ...they will never appear at hundreds of international music events and places across planet earth, including the 50th anniversary VE day celebrations in Hyde Park before an estimated audience of 170,000 in 1995, Womad, Glastonbury, New York's Carnegie Hall (2009, 2012), and the Sydney Opera House (2012), London Royal Albert Hall 2009, Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday party. They might as well stop what they have been doing for 36 years. You are far too good for this band, move onto your ideal music perfection.
