I am 50 ...my son was here yesterday and he is 30..we both think Lenny rocked this song.We love the metal edge to it,he really stepped it up a notch or two from the old Guess Who version.Don't care what its supposed to be about..it rocks!
I wanted so much when they're about to raid the Capitol, this man, with this band, this crowd & that neon American flag lights be playing. Now that's what storming the Capitol is.
@@Reimerguns What was the issue with the original song? The Guess Who was the band that wrote and recorded it. They were a Canadian band. Burton Commings and Randy Bachman wrote the music and were founding members. They both eventually left with Randy Bachman forming BTO and Commings going out on his own. I listened to alot of their music and didn't know of any issues they might have had. If you know something about this could you return a comment to me. I'm American not Canadian. Just wondering what the issues would have been. Thank-you and have a good evening!!!🙂😊🤔🤫😐🤘🤙👍
Hi Pedro!!! The remake of this by Lenny really blew me away when I first heard it. I was in the record store and they had a really good stereo system!!! The bass was amazing. I did get the cassette of it and liked all the songs on it. Another version of this was made for a movie on Lifetime by another artist whose version was also very good. That version was made for the movie only! I thought Lenny was always and still is very talented!!!👍
Самый классный исполнитель позднего(современного) рока : мелодичные ряды,качество звука,исполнение,оригинальность, стильность - все просто превосходно! Я даже не знаю кого выделить - драммера,басиста,соло ? Полная гармония! Хотя я приверженка олдскульных групп первого эшелона, просто сносит крышу от LENNY.😋💝 💯👍 💙💛✌
Согласна на все сто, в 2014 мне удалось побывать на его живом шоу, это было потрясающе, профессиональное шоу сосредоточенное в первую очередь на музыке, а не на выкрутасах, жаль публика в России специфичная, особенно с учетом, что дело было на гран при России, не все оценили старания, но я была в восторге Ленни один не многих ныне музыкантов с тем самым духом настоящего мелодичного, но двайвового рока.
The original song was sung back in the late 1960's by "The Guess Who", a Canadian band. It was a political statement on how aggressive on how the US was in their aggressive foreign policies. Budding in to other people's, and country's affairs. The American Woman in the song is a reference to "Lady Liberty." An American Woman icon. It was also a refence to the peace movement against the US troops in Vietnam.
@@projectchevron13 You also have to remember that Lenny Kravitz had the score for the song that was originally played. He probably improved the tunes. When the Guess Who first played this, it was from scratch in front of an audience. No score, or lyrics.
Have always loved Lenny Kravitz..30 years plus+ &he never lost his energy on Guitars or in his Voice!Oh..&his touch on Videos!The Song Cover was Best rendition of it by far(of course)..& I always find these lyrics so Underrated :- "I Don't Want Your War Machines..I Don't want your Ghetto Scenes..Coloured Lights Can Hypnotize..Go on & Sparkle Someone Else's Eyes..!" That's like the Coolest Blow off ever.
Many singers, few artists! Lenny is a feeling! A full artist with an entire world in and out of him! Discovering every little detail of him is AMAZING!
Miałem ogromną przyjemność, być na koncercie Lennego w Łodzi,totalny czad i odlot, niezwykła ekspresyjna osobowość,muzyka i kontakt z publicznością, jedyny w swoim rodzaju, wieki człowiek i muzyk, wszystkiego dobrego Lenny i kapela Waldi Michalak Wałcz najpiękniejsze miasto świata ❤❤
the beautiful thing about music is that everyone has their own way of interpreting it. It has a unique way of impacting everyone. I love both versions but this one is just a bit better in my mind
Fifty years ago this June, the Canadian rock band, The Guess Who, burned up the pop charts with hits like “American Woman,” which they claimed was a love letter to the women of their own country. Lenny Kravitz’s powerful, updated version won for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance 30 years later. I saw him perform it live at a Bob Dylan Concert at Carnegie Hall, where Kravitz performed as the opening act. Ultimately, Lennie Kravitz proved that a cover could sometimes be more memorable and sustaining than the original.
Always loved the original by the Guess Who, but have to say Lenny makes me love the song, all over again. Lenny is just such a cool dude, no matter what he's singing, you instantly love it😊
Listening to this song now is so surreal....got my passport 🤣
Hope you found an actual woman with feminine grace. Lord knows that they don't exist in America.
LMFAO
Lenny kravitz was born too be cool
May be...But Jimmi Hendrix was GREATER. !!!
Best version 🇺🇸❤️👏🏻 Heather 🔥
Congratulations on your rock and roll hall of fame 2024 nomination Lenny.

Esse riff de guitarra é hipnotizante.
No es de Lenny , es una copia de un tema antiguo
Concordo plenamente contigo yeah
Hellified anthem. Lenny Kravitz did that song. Nice guitars.
Love how he throws down the chords.Lenny ROCKS😆😆😆😘
One of the simpliest and bad ass guitar riffs.
Yes it is. Especially when your smoking

Lenny Kravitz absolutely rocks
Welcome to Montevideo Uruguay Lenny 👏🏻👏🏻😎🗣️🎶
There are very few musicians that can properly remake a song but, American Woman by Lenny K. is one of the greatest remakes of all time!
He does do a good job and gives the song an edge!!!🙂🙃😉👍

the lyrics or crap fuzz guitar...the latter
Thank you
I really like the guitar riff! And such a strong vocal performance!!! Big inspiration for my own singing - thank you Lenny!
KID ROCK.
oh, Beverly Hills, area code please
I love how he sings the verse with nothing but drums. Legend.
Strong vocals? Not one Cornell song has weaker vocals than this song here. Your standard seems pretty pop music low

Oh yeah, we know this m8.
Good ol big brother making everyone look bad
True, very political statement by a Canadian band. Doubt they rejected any of the money they made in America though.
Liked it when Guess Who did it, but Lenny Kravitz blows 'em out of the water.

Still here, still an American woman! 55 next month and still love me some Lenny!
What a great recording! Im at work with my headset on and the stereo effects are fantastic 😍
Patriotic... I believe so 🤘🤘
It’s a Canadian song against US policy though.. the “American Woman” in it is symbolically Lady Liberty
Just heard the original and I have to say I still Love Lenny's version. This version knocks so hard
the original: man actually wants to women to go
Lenny's version: the man still wants here
cher would perhaps be impressed...
@@themanformerlyknownascomme777 it’s an allegory for war though

Love it! A beautiful blend of 60s, 70s, and today. Awesome again!

That's like the Coolest Blow off ever.

Usually when someone covers something, it isn't as good as the original, but this is easily on par with the original. Kravitz has skill!
