Working Class Hero

Recommended Posts

I know this is a complete change of subject but still, my friend told me that he had heard a rumor that billie joe once had a t-shirt/and or hankerchief(like the one in BIAB) that said: Small Dick, Big Head..

Is there any truth to that?

:lol: Off-topicness :rolleyes: Maybe someone just made one especially for Billie Joe - bless him.

^ :huh:

I think that says it all. :lol:

Anyway...I've listened to this song so many times in the past day. It's so beautiful, and they did such a great job with it. I can't even fully describe how it makes me feel - it just does. :wub:

I am absolutely certain that John Lennon would be beaming with pride for what Green Day did with his song, and I'm so very proud to be a a huge Green Day fan. :wub:

:thumbsup:

For people who may have missed the numerous previous posts about uploading this song.

Please don't post links here unless they are links to the official sites where you can purchase the track legally .

So far the only two we know of are itunes and Amnesty.

This is a charity record, so please don't encourage others to rip off a good cause.

I love it. Everytime GD release something new I try to be objective and a critic, but fail miserably. I always end up thinking "yep, it's great!" :D

Thanks for the link to us non-Americans! The songs so great. They're not trying to be Lennon, just Green Day playing a Lennon song. Great.

The amnesty link isn't working for me! I'm not having very good luck with this song :cry:

I think it's brilliant. I can't say whether or not it's better than the original because i'm not a huge Lennon fan to start off with. But i think they did an awesome job with the song. I like this one much more than 'Saints'. I think Saints just felt a bit over-produced, and had a lot of ego in it. It was a good song, and I like it fine, but it seemed a bit much for Green Day, and this is much much more to my liking.

I agree with you. I liked 'Saints' but there was just something about it that was just blah :/ . Good song, but yeah it was just a bit much. I do like this one though, I think this one more suits Green Day.

I'll be buying the song as soon as I get a new itunes card. :lol:

It looks like that Amnesty site is down for a while, because I can't get it to load either right now.

I'm just getting an 'unable to connect' message.

EDIT:

It looks like they might just be really busy, the site itself is loading but the link to buy the tracks is not connecting to their server at the moment.

Ok, at least it's not just me it's happening to!

I am seriously jinxed when it comes to this song.

On that site, to buy with a debit card, do you have to give credit card details too?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting pissed about the iTunes reviews. People are saying they are sell outs and not to buy it and spport them, but all of the money goes to Darfur, so I mean it's like no one gets the concept. I mean it's not their best song, but it atleast deserves 4 stars instead of the 3 1/2 on iTunes.

EDIT: Now people are saying that this is going to be on their next album and the rest of it will be like this. GET A CLUE PEOPLE!

Could someone please clear it up about the cover and Darfur in an iTunes review ?

Its just iTunes, people are allowed to have any opinion they want. Its not going to change peoples mind if they want to buy the song or not. Don't worry about the star ratings, or whether its going to be on their album, or what people say, just let it go, it doesn't matter.

Yeah, I read through about a page of itunes reviews before I realized that not many even knew it was a fucking cover song.

I laughed so hard though when several people (Just a hunch, but I'm assuming they were 12-14) mentioned how weird it was that Working Class Hero had the exact same cover as the new REM single!

Haha... they need to get a clue, seriously, that's John Fucking Lennon staring you in the face.
