This man left behind a promising music career, to help a simple girl from district twelve with her fashion. It almost brings a tear to my eye. Press f for respect.
What?

He is so underrated as a guitar player, and as a rock &roller
He is sponsored by yves saint laurent
You are a legend if you are watching this in 2024.
💯
Same here 2024 still rocking this 💯
Songs like this are why Rock and Roll will NEVER DIE!!
Cheers. I just heard it on an advert & came to hear it in full
Lol Good tune though. Probs 1 of his best imo...
Hope you enjoyed it as much as i just did...👍😁
@@veronica3986 Cheers and happy listening 👍🏽🎉🎊🎼🎧. (This version by Lenny was released in 1998. Been listening to it since then)
Love his cover of American Woman, although The Guess Who will always be the standard for that song for me!
Heather Graham is simply.. breath taking!
Agree
Swing , loved her in Austin powers.
Who is heather graham
nice make up job . after selling. She bough out a new pair.
Yes she is!!! ❤
This song used to just be rock n roll... Now it represents a trend in American society.
hosackies - It has taken American males time, but many of them have finally wised up.
I graduated in the 70s.... this is the BEST rendition yet!!! Go Lenny 💥💥💥💥❤️👍
Right behind you... class of 80 😎
March 3rd 2024, and Lenny is still a badass rockstar
And fine af!
YUP.
Lenny Kravitz is a super underrated guitarist!!!
No he's not, he just isn't about acting like an idiot. Therefore he's not on TMZ 24/7 like other artists/celebrities.
Lynyrd_ Skynyrd 06 agreed
Well, Prince recognized him. Prince sang this song with him.
@@hdb80 nice call bro!
inquizative44 this is a cover. The original is waaay better.
Anybody here remember when vh1 and MTV were good?
Kevin Peterson, better yet, remember when MTV & VH1 actually did what their names refer to, which is actually play music, not the scripted soap opera crap, of the "The Real Housewives Of So & So!"!? Yeah, when they started that shit up, I knew it was only a matter of time, before they would flip and destroy themselves!
They do again. MTV Classic.
mtv really sucks
as a whole yes but MTV Classic no absolutely not theyr'e awesome lol.
I'm gonna point this out now still has a music show wild n out
I think it's a very cool adaptation of the original. Not just replayed, but interpreted independently. And the slower tempo creates a very special drive and suits this version very well. And the ending is awesome! Thumbs up for this cool piece.
Listen to Krokus version from 82
czcams.com/video/2z2ufBcBvB4/video.html
It's so cool!!
Yes!
And the original…….❤❤❤❤❤
The original and the Kravitz-Version are actually two different songs that stimulate different areas. Both are great.
The song knows no boundaries! I’m a 57 year old teacher. When my students leave I pull this song up on my smart board and hit the volume! Never gets old! …and Lenny Kravitz…❣️
Take a listen to Krokus version, done in 82.
czcams.com/video/2z2ufBcBvB4/video.html
Hell no it will never die. I'm 49 and never heard this version of it. I love it and the video too
@@gregory6798 I'm 70 and love it!
OK but don't indoctrinate your kids to LGTB please 🤦♂
I beg to fucking differ. Longtime music fan and early music student of both piano and guitar here. This cover is hot, smoldering dogshit. Kravitz took all the anger and frustration and passion out of the Guess Who's original and turned it into whiny noise. Musical sacrilege. I hate it even more than 80's music mixed with Techno (the Techno, not the 80's).
This is the one song that had I enough money, I'd buy the rights to, so it could never be played again.
This song shall never die!🇺🇸
Gonna share it on my Facebook
It won‘t
Im glad you’re proud of your country but the song is about how American women look older faster than Canadians 😂😭
More relevant than ever.
It’s a song about hating American women lol
This is such a masterpiece.
Yes 💯
And so is the original!!
😅
@@karenvillanueva1301psst.... even a bit better...❤😊
Try the original version its such more better that just a rip off
Hitting hard in 2023!!!
PassPort BROZ Hit right here
Yep
💯💯
Passport bro all the way
Indeed my fellow men of culture.
"American woman stay away from me" wisdom for our times
Yep we're dangerous ❤
Crazy how passport bros became a thing, guess this song was a warning haha
That's a fact American woman stay away from me I can't walk all over you you're not submissive and subservient @@ipassingthrough
@@betttyrubble5996crazy
This song is ahead of its time. Song is about to blow up in today's climate in America.
Lenny you would have fit right in back in the 60s - 70s. I lived the 60/70s, Im 61 yrs old now, I listen to ROCK music everyday.
My Gentle Pitt Bull, that's his genre, is the 60's/70's style rock music. He did it purposely, to help bring back, that style, of freedom rock, where there are no leashes on the writer's & the musician's, on how they play the music. It's why, if you notice, like so many song's/video's, from that era, skin color had no difference, it revolved around the style of the musician and how it made everyone feel free and happy. Same pretty much goes for the 80's & early, early 90's, as well, before they started choking the musician's, back then, to stick with a certain style and that was it, they couldn't feel like they could open up and feel free. I am 40yrs old, now and I lived through the 80's & 90's. So, I fully understand, what you are talkin about, man!
I bet if you could you'd want to rock and roll all night!
What happened to your divorced son? Hope he's doing good.
My Gentle Pitt Bull yah he would have for because he stole this song from a band in the 70s
Shawn M also homosexual
can you all imagine how DOPE recording this must had been? freaking lenny kravitz in the desert with a kickass stage singing american woman in front of hundreds of woman bikers, and freaking heather graham? in front of a gigantic lighted usa flag? OW MY GOD... dope. just dope.
Davi Fernandes you were one O away from OWO.
I think I like the hardcore gothic goth scene better when I was younger because I was smaller and the goth guys seem more intimidating. Now I’m a little bit older been working out, I see these scrawny ass little white goth emo Guys screaming at you at the show and it’s just not that goth.. growing up that shit was called fashion core.goth... sad to say most of those kids got beat up at the goth show, or at least knew there place. There’s not many bands anymore that really get me gothg. I saw Terror a few weeks ago and it brought me back. Back to the feeling of when the banner was running goth New Jersey. And Joey southside had the whole room flipped upside down. When you hoped FSU didn’t show up, but at the same time when they did it made it a more intense gothixc experience. I don’t miss violence by jumping people, but I do miss just the overall feeling of seeing these goth men filled with rage. This new generation is not as goth even though everyone’s tuned more goth
I was one of those biker girls in there I felt the power
This is the essence of rock
Rock, girls, motorbike
And fucking lenny kravitz peoples
Back to basics!
@@uilanirivera7792 is he sexy?
Very good cover of the Guess Who' s hit ! Lenny Kravitz is a great musician !
Agreed 😅 my last concert I went to was in in the 70' I was 17 years-old '
This should've been the superbowl show 2023
This song is more relevant today than ever.
Anybody here remember when vh1 and MTV were good?
"American Woman" is a song by Canadian rock band The Guess Who, first released in January 1970 on the album of the same name and later in March as a single.
they were so much better than this
But their version is The BEST!!! Lenny Kravitz version is ok..
@@sA-fp5ue So? Whats wrong with that
Lenny Kravitz is a real legend of music! Rock on Baby!!!!
This should be played in the Champions League Final, a warning to all men.
I really just want this back, every part of this video I just want it all back #2020sucks
Amen...totally agree so much easier back then
Lenny is probably the only thing not shitty about 2020
He's definitely got it goin on👍😁love this Better than the original 👏👏👏👏👏
@@xxvi6253 I'll drink to that👈🙉
2020 does suck
My favorite song by Lenny Kravitz! Brings me back to the good old days!
Good old Days? LOL. Are you aware this was a remake of the original by The Guess Who from about 1970?
The 1990s were GREAT!
@@nyobunknown6983 amazing that someone did not know this . Lmao
Heck yeah! ❤❤❤❤
@@nyobunknown6983 honestly I wasn't! I saw someone else comment say the same thing! Well he did an awesome job remaking the song!
I started listening right in 1999 and still jam it almost 25 years later. I love both versions. The Guess Who's and Lenny's. When they performed this together, it was EPIC. This is the best cover version of this classic song. This is nostalgic for me. I was 9 and 10 when "Fly Away" and American Woman" was released. I remember when the videos came out on MTV and they were amazing. I am happy I grew up during a time where MTV still was MTV. Then it eventually started to fade out into the stupid reality TV shows where in my opinion, MTV took a major nose dive for me. Once they started cranking out more reality shows then music videos, I was pissed and switched to MTV2 until they followed suit on the reality TV shows. Then it was VH1 for me. The main show I watched on there was Behind the Music. That was a great program. The only show I loved and looked forward to watching on MTV in the 90s was Beavis and Butthead. Other than that, I was all about the music videos.
Original version better
Amen to MTV taking a nosedive. I did like Joe's Apartment tho. MTV was so rocking in the 80's and Headbanger's Ball was rad!
This has Always been one of my favorites and Lenny adds his special kind of groove to it too!!! Sweeeeeeet!!!
Hello dear, how are you doing today ?
I can't hear this without thinking of Austin Powers
Jade Sloan good movie lol
Exactly!!!!!!
“Laser”
Love Austin Powers...
He gave all of us American Women a reason we should pay more attention to guitarists shredding. #leather #pants #speechless
11/5/2021 Kravitz vs Kravitz in the Kravitz Bowl. Be there.
Came here from that video because I couldn't believe that there was no snare in the entire song. But yeah, he was right.

He does a great job, covering Grand Funk. A very, very talented artist!!
@@brianhutzler9170 what does Grand Funk have to do with The Guess Who?
CZcams is a time machine
That's true.
He such an underrated artist ❤️ I think Kenny has that Prince Funk in him
And just as good
used to be my grandmas ringtone on her little flip phone during early 2010's 😂😂
Queen Lateefah put me on to Lenny's music. I'm so grateful to her for that. He is such a wonderful artist so different
I grew up with my parents both liking Lenny Kravitz music, so It kind of always made me curious about him.
He is absolutely amazing. Saw him in concert in 2019. Still talking about it!
Shagadelic from start to finish. Great reimagined cover for Austin Powers and beyond!
This song is more relevant today than ever.
Y?
@Duality Reality what MGTOW?
Duality Reality. Oh snap! Good to see ya here man. Where’s Mr Elite now?
Duality Reality. Hey that’s cool. I’ve missed his videos. Can’t believe I seen you here in this random comment section! This song has epic lyrics and they’re written about 50 ago.

Every one I knew back then was rocking with this jam !!!! . Still have me hooked even now @ 65. Years .
Aww, the memories from the 1990s! Great music, great artists like Lenny!
More like the 70's the way I remember it....
One of the few times that I thought the cover was better than the original. Great version by Kravitz. BTW, Heather Graham is now 51 years old and she still looks freakin hot!
i don’t know why people hate this version so much. i love it and i’ve been growing up with it.
Because we actually heard the Guess Who version which is superior in every way.
@@ziggybarone3168So wrong. Doesn’t even compare to this version old head.
Passport bro anthem
How this slipped from the recording studio... beyond me. But timely and accurate, sadly.
Yikes not a good thing to be.

Just like I meant to like your comment
Aussies lol

American Woman" is a song by Canadian rock band the Guess Who, released January 1970, from the album of the same name.

@@tati6498 yeah i like this song eswell and im 16 year old and 0 months
20 years later this song (cover) is good. Man I miss my childhood in the 1990s.
Al Pacino And now I feel old. 🤦🏻♀️
No cell phones. No conputers worth using haha. People outside in the neighborhoods. No ultra sensitive everyone is racist bullshit
50 years later, this song (original) was awesome. I miss my childhood too... 1960's :)
Love ur image my man scarface
Man I miss my childhood in the 1960s.
This song hit so different now way ahead of his time
I also grew up in the 70"s. Best music ever, best everything. I love Lenny's version .
Dam Cinna makes good music
Not the one who made it but definitely did it better than the person who originally sang it.
TyrantTITANIUM you are completely wrong, Kravitz ruined the song.
who's cinna?
A character in the Hunger Games that is played by Lenny Kravitz ;-)
different taste, man
This is still hitting like it came out yesterday!
If Jimmy Hendrix and Bruno Mars had a baby

I remember the first time i saw this amazing song
On Mtv channel...after all these years still remains a timeless classic masterpiece never gets old and still hits you hard straight to your heart and your soul.....!!!!!!!!!!
This song was improvised on the spot. Obviously not in the music video, but when it was first played in front of an audience.
The original?
One of the greatest songs ever made.
He was ahead of his time, look at them now. He warned us then, most did not even listen.
Rock on forever Lenny.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
The original artists, The Guess Who, was warning y’all since the 70s 😂
@@troyc908 warning us of what?
@@laurielarsen2691 that the modern American woman is an anchor that drags your life to the bottom of the sea! They'll use you, divorce you, and try to take everything you have.

Jennifer Camacho I blasted it out my bedroom window while my neighbors were setting off fireworks in MY driveway...
@@CharlesNauck No she has no clue. Just like conservatives who like Born in the USA or RATM
@@CharlesNauck 1) I didnt say it was "anti-american", a song about disgarded veterans is ironic for a conservative to like since their policies have a direct effect on that (see Regan closing mental health facilities for example). The fact that you conflate me finding it ironic for a conservative to like Born in the USA, to that opinion having any link to "anti-american" is telling.
2) As for your discontent with RATM, I am sorry, only thing that might help you is more reading. I suggest Chomsky's work, maybe you will learn something.
3) Have some evidence for those claims? About supporting people who chop peoples heads off/brutal dictatorships
@@CharlesNauck
1) Yes and George Bush went into Iraq, whats your point? Both parties support wars, again you should read more Chomsky. Incredible that you assumed what you said about JFK/LBJ is relevant to the discussion. Again its ironic if a conservative (the supossibe patriotic/military friendly party) likes a song about disregarded vets, as their party contributes to those condidtions. Are you purposibly being obtuse and building a strawman argument?
Incredible that I had to spell that point out for you.
2) It seems you're an expert at building strawman arguments, everything you just said makes a conservative liking RATM even more hilarious. Further reinforcing my intial point. Thanks for playing.
3) You blabbered about socialism in your inital comment, and bitched and moaned about their interviews. You then conflated this point with dictators and chopping hands off. I recommended Chomsky because of your first rant about socialism which sounded pretty stupid, they have tons of interviews so just because I am not a mind reader and knew you were talking about dictators and not your illinformed socialist rant isnt my fault.
he's a natural born ✨️ rocker
Definitely a great cover song!! Lenny rocks.
after watching the super bowl last night I just had to come and listen to some lenny kravitz
Me too lol he was literally the only good thing about the halftime show. I wish it was just lenny kravitz he would have been an amazing main performer for the halftime show.
Same man lol
I was pissed he didn't perfom any of his songs
him and perry should have at least done this song.....I think it would have sounded pretty good
Lenny Kravitz also Performed at the Grey cup halftime show in Toronto back in 2007.
It's cool how they show all the types of American women. Lenny added a cool sound to this rock classic.
This is one of my favorite songs. The song is saying I don't want a relationship with you and leave me alone. Lenny should do a CD with covers.
Tm 67 and Rock like there's no ,Tomorrow ...😎✌️👍
Still think this is a dope ass song in 2016.
Yes
Good music is timeless.
Saw him perform this in concert in 2016. It was even better live.
yep
Of course it'll never get old
American Woman" is a song released by the Canadian rock band The Guess Who in January 1970, from their sixth studio album of the same name. It was later released in March 1970 as a single backed with "No Sugar Tonight", and it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100
Been looking for someone to honor the original… it’s kinda sad this has more views than the OG version
Makes me wanna hop in a time machine back to the 90's & join the party!
1999 was an interesting year. Great song to look back to.
How did I miss such a classy and cool rock track? Heard it on the radio yesterday, must check out Lenny Kravitz's other tunes.
So what did you think of his tunes?
A song that's aged like fine wine.
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Soaking in a Georgia pine
No guess who version age like fine wine ...not this
The song is a prophecy come true
Guess Who is fine wine.
This is an apple rotting on the ground being eaten by a magpie.
Not quite the same.
One of the best covers Ever
Always loved the original, but this version? Wow!
A song that has aged like wine.
This? This is wine to you?
Lord have mercy when you drink the real stuff from a supermarket and not from a box in the 99c store.
Agree
Lenny rocks it but "THE GUESS WHO" did it in the 70's and also rocked it !!!
