Paul Gilbert - It's All Too Much (The Beatles cover)

From Spaceship live.

[@markco61]

Harrison’s most underrated and perhaps best rock song with the Beatles in my opinion. Paul does it justice here.

[@geraldfitzpatrick9123]

Mark Colburn: Check out the version by Steve Hillage. It's truly amazing. Paul uses a few of Hillage's licks here in his version. The Hillage version's from an album called L. Yes just a big capital " L."

[@FeelingShred]

Helter Skelter is Paul McCartney on guitar (what drives the song) It's All Too Much as far as I came to learn recent George was playing keyboards, John playing bass and probably Paul McCartney playing guitar (lead) There's this video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJm2kHpngJiWrJo "Taxman" solo is also Paul McCartney... I believe Beatles fans hate to admit that Paul McCartney was more responsible to the greatness of certain songs than they want to believe. George didn't even play guitar for half of his own songs on the albums? LOL

[@iwackadoodleyourmarbles9220]

I agree,should be a current radio staple📻🎶🎶🎶

[@oliverbird6914]

Nah, I'm a massive Beatles fan...the guitar on Helter us bollocks... elementary anyway...and in my opinion an empty song. Macca was a genius. Lennon was the leader and initial engine room. And he made the Beatles strange

[@blurredlenzpictures3251]

Wow! That's how you cover The Beatles! Awesome 👌 👏

[@seyerb]

Beatle's music is timeless.

[@rickythepenguin]

this is absolute SICKNESS. I can't stop laughing at how good this is. i know George is happy to hear his song be treated with such respect. god i love this.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Yes, this gem is handled very well here. Amazing rendition.

[@RobertGraziose]

I have never seen a Rickenbacker bass like that. It has a split Fender like pickup. Looks like a modest version of the 4001.

[@AbbieHoffmansGhost]

You won't find a better cover of this great song.

[@briandillon8041]

AbbieHoffmansGhost Steve Hillage cover from 1977 album called L. Was much better

[@peteytwofinger]

this is live , comparing the steve hillage studio version is ignorant . plus either way this is so much better .

[@kwackerman733]

Steve ( the hippy) hillage does a very good version. Check it out

[@sandervdbrink84]

I only know the live version of Steve Hillage, but that one sounds just like a simplified pop version. Than this version of the House Of Love is so much better. Though the original Beatles version can't be beaten.

[@burnindownthehouse]

Whoa! This is an awesome cover of an awesome Beatles song. There are probably very few musicians who could do this song justice but Paul Gilbert succeeds at it. He's a creative guitarist.

[@davidtruscott4702]

This is a mind blowing version of a very underrated George Harrison song. LOve this video, the guitar,bass and drums are all brilliant!!!

[@academyofartscienceandphil2106]

From North Korea great leader Kim Yong loves The Beatles. Paul Gilbert awesome.

[@Leshtastic]

Amazing cover. Bravo. My favorite song from The Yellow Submarine. When this comes on at the end of the movie, the movie is taken to another level.

[@tomprall8635]

I have a japanese release of the yellow submarine movie playlist on cd. All the songs in the movie. When "it's all too much" came on, it thundered. I don't know if they remastered it or what, but it's the highlight of the cd. Very cool.

[@johnp6167]

Paul Gilbert is a killer guitar player, but him liking this song as much as I do says a lot about him....all shredding aside. This is awesome!

[@FeelingShred]

Beatles + Van Halen + Malmsteen + Rush + UFO Paul Gilbert's musical DNA is incredibly varied, truly a force of nature

[@micklomax5905]

Brilliant version... I just found this. Was listening to the original not long ago...

[@stephenzisky102]

This song is awesome. Heard Journey doing this song and I was blown away.

HOLY CRAP!!! This is astoundingly good!! It is unreal!! I always liked this guy. He just went up a few more notches in my estimation. His singing is so good, and spot on. DAMN!! People that are this good are just too much.

[@nathanfrigerio3473]

Love it, from a guy that loves his Beatles and didn't hear of Paul till about 10-12 years ago. Great!

[@IndiaSummerxxx]

The guitar feedback on the intro to "It's All Too Much" was done in May of '67, so it was pre-Hendrix, before he started to go wild with that stuff, since his "Are You Experienced?" album released Dec. 1967 hadn't come out yet. But, now, I don't think I was playing the guitar feedback; as I say, I was playing the organ, so I think that was probably Paul that did that. But it was, like, manufactured, meaning that it wasn't like an accident or anything; it was part of the arrangement.

[@bigalexg]

wasn't like the Beatles had never heard Hendrix before Are You Experienced. Paul had heard Hendrix a long time before this and was instrumental in getting him on at Monterrey in June of 67. Hendrix hit London in 66.

[@jordi9698]

I feel fine also have feedback

[@twtwtw1]

wow...just...wow

[@WinstonGuitar]

This version makes it obvious that the rhythm section is just as important as the psychedelic stuff

[@fernandoaldekoa2436]

The more I listen to it the more I like it.

The drummer is fantastic

[@jlunch]

Indeed!, Marco Minnemann is an incredibly talented musician. He's obviously an incredible drummer but he's also an accomplished songwriter, guitarist, bass player and singer. He has many albums. He's about as eclectic of a musician as you're likely to encounter.

[@Transterra55]

Check out the Steve Hillage version from 1976…..very groovy.

[@TheGent2]

George Harrison was a underrated guitarist. Eric Clapton (who knows a little about guitar playing) said that George had no ego - he believed the guitar lead should fit the song being played - not the other way around. I'm reminded of this when I listen to most guitar solos - as they bore me to tears.

[@spicepirate69]

What a great cover of an already great song! Paul Gilbert is an amazing musician all the way around. I thought he played the drums very well and the guitar playing is always top notch from him. Nicely done!

[@ejc491]

Excellent! I love the power chord part -- so simple, so primal.

[@willcarr9177]

It's All Too Much as well as Only A Northern Song should have been Sgt.Pepper if they had been Sgt.Pepper would be a more monster album as well as a more bad ass as than what it already is

[@vinylanswer7018]

George actually submitted "Only A Northern Song" for inclusion on Sgt. Pepper. George Martin and the other three Beatles hated it. George withdrew it and came up with "Within You Without You" instead.

I took some guitar lessons from Paul in the 80s at GIT. I consider myself very lucky! This is a really cool song as well!!

[@chimptor50]

Mesmerizing! I just love Paul's appreciation of songs from his musical past. As a musician, how can you write for the future if you don't know your past. From what I can tell Paul is deeply rooted in the songs that came before. Beatles, Zep, Rush, Clapton etc. Add a fun sense of humor and the ability to blaze new musical trails and you have a pretty cool combo that is, Paul Gilbert!!! WORD!!

As someone previously wrote, "Harrison’s most underrated and perhaps best rock song with the Beatles in my opinion. Paul does it justice here." I had no idea who Paul was before I saw this video.
