If I don’t compare it to the original, I have to admit I really like this song.
But what happens when you compare it to the original?

Compared to the raw power and beauty of John’s voice and his acoustic guitar the heavy electric guitar solos and everything are embarrassingly out of place.

I almost put this in the “Turn it up or down” thread, but I’d forgotten just how dreadful it was…
Not one of his finest songs. The 90s cheesiness is strong in this one!

Offline Inspired by a post by @Dark Overlord in the pet peeves thread:
I agree, some songs that are just vocals and guitar feel too stripped for me, although some of those like Blackbird are great to listen to.
Anyways, some songs should use more obscure instruments like sitar or clavichord or maybe even a bass saxophone.
Here’s a cover of Helter Skelter by a bass saxophone quartet (if you want to know how low a bass saxophone can sound look at about 0:30). It’s so weird I didn’t even recognise Helter Skelter most of the time:

Was that supposed to resemble it?

That’s what I asked myself too! I think it was a more free interpretation. I’m glad you liked it, though!

Offline Definitely in the ghastly category. Awful musicianship, I had no idea it was a Beatle cover until the intro ended, and horrific vocals; sounds like Tiffany is trying to put in an angry heavy metal vocal kind of thing at times yet can’t as she doesn’t have the ability.
Never has “Are you ready?” been a more suitable warning for the horrors that are to come.
This made the UK Top 10!!
Oh! Gods of all music, please forgive us for the sins we have committed. Remember that which went before with the original and look towards us mercifully.

Richard Cheese doing Beatles covers again. Yesterday this time. It’s not bad – in fact, I like it – but Richard Cheese always falls under the category of bizarre.
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.
I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Offline I really enjoy this, but I imagine to most others it would probably fall under the “bizarre” banner here. Unfortunately, I found most of the other tracks to be pretty weak and forgettable Byrds imitations, but there are two or three decent standout tunes including this cover.

Offline I have no idea if this is good, bad, unlistenable, essential, a brilliant find or the greatest misfortune to come across. It certainly gets points for being different.
