    My favorite version of this song. All the words are clear, it's strangely laid back and aggressive at the same time, and she is all over it.

    She is a very interesting prospect, I love her lyrics. In a way she reminds me of Kurt Cobain and I dont know why, but she just does. Really digging her music. It's refreshing

    Kids, this is how you rock... At the end of the clip she says something like "That was me trying to play "Thunderstruck" and not actually knowing the notes. But, the intention was there." She's too cool.

    • @fankanator
      @fankanator 8 лет назад +2

      +Josh Thomson Meh, Beatles are about love and crap, to me it's delusional. She's got a real and sort of chaotic view on things, which to me makes sense. I guess Beatles is feel-good, and she's feel-real.
      Therefore, I can't say anyone is better 'cause it's relative, but I like her 100 times more.

    • @joshthomson1998
      @joshthomson1998 8 лет назад +2

      Matthieu Fankhauser Yes, the Beatles spread a strong message of love in most of there work, but they are known as some of the best songwriters ever just because they are. Listen to Revolver, that one seems more up your ally.

    • @princesssheogorath1979
      @princesssheogorath1979 8 лет назад +4

      +Matthieu Fankhauser ...you're clearly not familiar with any of The Beatles' stuff. They were pioneers of experimentation- singing about politics, protest, breaking social and sexual convention, challenging the ideas of love, violence, peace and drugs. Plus their music is amazing. (see Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road just to name a very few). They aren't the greatest band in the world for no reason.

    • @celticbird2398

  • @oliaslives6986
    @oliaslives6986 8 лет назад +18

    As one who's loved great rock and roll for a long, LONG time, I have to say--this chick is phenomenal. After reading just the comments on this page (not reading any of the others), I'm surprised no one else has compared her with Chrissie Hynde. The first thing I thought when I heard this song for the first time on KCRW out of Santa Monica. Chrissie's not out of the scene yet, but Courtney is definitely "picking up where Chrissie's leaving off." In fact, I can't help wondering not only if Courtney's a fan of Chrissie, but how cool it would be if they got onstage and performed together. At any rate, she's talented, she's energetic, as someone else pointed out she can pen a great lyric....if the music industry doesn't end up ruining her or burning her out, I'd say she she's got a long and VERY happy future ahead of her. Rock on, sweetie.

      Cristián Opazo Yeah, but does she really? I'm not saying she's a bad performer, but I don't really get the comparison. Kurt did stuff like taking 5 minute long breaks to destroy the set and spit in the camera, while the song was still going. I just can't imagine Courtney doing that. I can't imagine Kurt playing Pedestrian at Best, I can't imagine Courtney playing tourette's. Courtney's still pretty good, though.
