They got the drummer to sing and play this one because this was Ringo Starr's contribution to the Sgt. Peppers album all those years ago. Love it =)
I can remember watching these constantly for hours when they aired on radio 2, they were amazing.
Man I searched fir this cover for the first time since I first heard it back in 2009! I am so glad it’s still here!! It’s always on my list of covers that were almost as good as the original or holds it’s own🥲
Oh I did exactly the same. So true, I like how the drummer sings and is sweet
That's the reason Andy sang it. The band decided to follow in the Beatles footsteps and have the drummer sing it. The whole segment used to be posted here awhile ago. Now all that you can find is the actual recording. The rehearsal and interview segment was almost 10 minutes long.
awesome!! yu guys are the best band..current band!! !!
andy has a GREAT song for this song. bless him
Very good boys, I like it... Grettings from Chile
MUCH better than expected. very good job
simply amazing cover
Once this song is over, I'm already listening -in my mind- to the intro of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. The attachment is so vivid...
great cover.
hes got a great voice
This is actually a pretty damn good cover. I'm impressed.
The drummer has a really nice voice.
amzing cover
love it!!
Great performance!!! Thanks Razorlight
this is the best version ive ever heard, even better than the beatles, this guy has such a calming voice, nice RAZORLIGHT
Very good cover. Thanks for adding this!
great! all the covers are amazin from the programme on bbc2 xx
Wow, that was outstanding!
Yea thats pretty fantastic
Great Cover!
Never heard of these guys til this. I'm going to check out more of there stuff though!
Razorlight and Travis are the best of the set
Great cover!
agreed, I'm amazed, he sounds so lovely :)
amazing! :)
And you are Greatness!
cool.This is a really great cover
great version! :D
wow good!!!!!!
Much better generally than i expected
i can now accept razorlight's existence
hope they release this as an album
This version is excellent!
Enjoyed great cover
omg that kid sing just like the original song ...
awsome
not bad not bad at all love it they come real close to the beatles but they have they on style and it,s cool love it we need more
Andy cantas muy bien!!
good idea letting the drummer. he has a good voice
Thanks for clearing that up! Andy (i think that's the drummer's name?) has a very Beatles voice.
btw, dunno about razorlight, but with a little help from my friends was actually written by john and paul for ringo to sing
Nice cover. I am not very familiar with these guys, but I am going to check them out.
they were the engineers of the abbey road studios when the beatles recorded there, i think one of call geoff mcsomenthing xD, i dont remeber
When I heard Razorlight were doing a cover of this, I cringed. But when I realised that arrogant Johnny Borrell wasn't taking part, I was elated! The drummer's quite a good singer as well - he does a good job here!
pmsl ringo star sang it lol this is bril i was like wha the hell wen i heard it. its just class
Tht is the beatles!!!, Andy has an amazing voice , Johny shoald b scared !!!!
thanks your comment made me smile =]
This is good.
I like how the drummer sings it like Ringo did=]
and hes british too, so yeah. lol nice job!
wow..nice observation
it´s a good cover :)
@AFOH i cant get separeted from the those attachments
nice :D
???? which clown gave me the thumbs down?
I think it's a good version!
in all fairness. he is not the regular singer of the band. he is the drummer. considering he is out of his normal role as a homage to ringo... i think he did well.
rat looks like hes got something STINKy in his nappy!!! cheer up mate .. this is an awesome cover ... :)
The thing about this cover that is seriously lacking is the strong bass part that makes this song so great.
fender precision (the yellow one)
and a rickenbacker 4003 (red one)
how can you forget the name?
that´s a rickenbacker 4003, one of the greatest basses ever made!
Yeah it is, Johnny couldn't be arsed turning up, drummer did vocals.
i saw this before, i must have been one of the 224,788 rofl
Would also like to know if these covers from that show is on a CD or DVD.
Nahhh - Ringo did it cause he sang a song every album, and the bands covering for the 40th anniversary were trying to get as close as possible. :-)
Damn straght :)
the whole point of a cover is that the band reinvents the song they are covering, and in certain ways make it their own
Does anyone know when (and if) they're releasing a CD of the sessions?
why is johnny not there at all? how can they call it razorlight without him?
"When you was a kid" That wasn't angry, just my opinion. I'm sure more people than not will agree.
lylyopp - jonny aint there cos ringo starr sang the lyrics on the original and he was the drummer so the razorlight drummer - andy sang on this 1
haha with other bands the comment would have buried, here i got a thumbs up :P
I think they are trying to do the same thing as the 4 done back in the day, they got the drummer to do lead vocals on this track, I could be wrong =/.
anyone notice the missing johnny borrelli? (sp?)
its funny how they got the drummer to sing it like the beatles :)
Because Johnny usually comes to recordings but he didnt that day... I don't know why but Andy's a gr8 singer! Ur right! He shud sing more often (no offence Johnny!)
oh, they should let the drummer sing more in razorlight
what's happened to Borell? he's not singing here?
Aye from the front angles mainly lol
where is lucy in the sky?, and who did the version for this album or whatever it is
it's Andy who sings
I just got mind fcked
@aterrorx
Listen to this (or any of the tracks form this album) and then listen to the original - they all lack the tasty ear candy exquisiteness. Not dissing any of the bands, but...
I cant believe the egomaniac Borrell didnt have a little hissy fit about that haha
no lucy in the sky with diamonds??
Where's Borel?
so am I didn't they do this because The Beatles Drummer (Ringo) sang this on the original and thay wanted to pay homage with the upmost respect so they got their drummer to cover it?
This is slightly scary of how close their sound is to the Beatles..wow
wish the bbc wud issue the album
joemaclean, I get you, I really do and also thank you for seeing no bitterness at all in my words, but I think that saying "Paul wasn't bad on bass" does not pay justice to the reality. I see there are a lot of subjective reasons to like or dislike a musician's playing, but there are also objective parameters -not technical necessarily- that tell us that a player is great, and Paul certainly was. Great imaginative lines, an unortodox (for the time) use of the harmonies...
Is this at Abbey road studios?
wow it's a good version... it sounds like the original but if lennon was singinng high instead or ringo...
Bass isn't quite there. But then, nor everybody is Sir Paul.
did they kick the lead singer out, cuz if they did awesome this guy has a really good voice
haha well done i liked it when the others backed it up like lennon and mccartney
john pulled out because he couldent be botherd to do it
I know what you mean
comparing paul with flea? i mean thats comparing aples with pears. they both have diffrent styles and use diffrent instruments. and its not always about what you play but more about how you play it
Yep it's Razorlight, but seeing as in the original it was Ringo (the drummer) who was lead vocals, Razorlight decided to do the same, seeing as their own drummer isn't that bad a singer.
~malcy
proper gd he is also a gd singer
ironic that the drummer of razorlight sings for the cover and the drummer of the beatles sang the original. i think it was planned.
I love how this is the first time Razorlight have sounded good and its because Johnny Borrel isn't with them..
He's better then the lead singer.
