Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

What do you guys think?

To me I think he could have covered something else, and better.

It seems lifeless to me.
 
I thought I Am the Walrus was loads better than Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, a cover version that can best be summed up by this:

meh.
 
I liked it. I though he sounded more like a Beatle than himself. I was listening to John Lennon today and I thought that in certain ways Bono sounded alot like him.
 
its good. although i like i am the walrus alot better. bono sounds awesome though so....
 
I think I am the Walrus is more interesting Lucy is kind of boaring. However I was a little disapointed that Bono didnt show off his Bono voice a little more he tried to blend with the Beatles wich is ok too I guess neither are meant to be big vocal songs
 
As a song, I find Lucy to be quite boring. I don't think Bono could have done much more with this song. I find his voice rather interesting, especially in the verses. I think he delivered this transcendent, psychogenic feeling of the song well, though, I agree that the Walrus sounds more like Bono vocally.
 
It's okay. I agree he sounds like a Beatle. Would have been interested in hearing some other Beatle covers. The Walrus is definitely better: Beatle with a twist of Bono. Delish.
 
I'd take Shatner's over Bono's.

The unintentional (or intentional???) comedy of Shatner trumps a lame cover any day.
 
His cover of I am the Walrus off the soundtrack is really good.

I guess his backing band is The Secret Machines.

I purchased it off iTunes.
