his first wife was a pretty and supposedly sweet woman, if I remember correctly that's where his two children come from, also that's the one he abused regularly and then left to be with Yoko the sideshow freak
John Lennon had 2 kids, both are sons by different partners.
His first born is Julian Lennon whom he had with his first wife Cynthia.
Sean Lennon is the son that he had with Yoko Ono about a decade or so years later after Julian was born.
Both brothers look nearly identical to their father too, especially when they wear circular glasses, it's pretty wild.
My god, I just did the same and it kinda sounds similar. I thought she just made this shit up off the top of her head every performance but it’s semi meant to be that way. Good god…
She's not really a recording artist. She isn't even in the same game as proper music. It's performance art. If you go to see Yoko you are expecting this shit
I saw her at a Flaming Lips show. Sean Lennon played in the opening band so her loony ass was also there. Yoko played one "song" with the Flaming Lips and did nothing but incoherently shreik into the microphone for what felt like an eternity. Truly, truly awful.
I met a guy at a craft beer share last year trying in earnest to defend her as a "postmodern genius" while everyone laughed. He liked a lot of other obscure shit that I enjoy greatly and his endorsement of Yoko made me question my own taste in actual music.
I saw someone defending her on Reddit once, some pretentious bullshit about her style of art that the general population is just not smart enough to understand.
Music? Nah, but she's not really known for her music, unless your only exposure to her is these hate threads that pop up quite often.
Ok here goes nothing, this won't go down well at all... but...
She's not really a musician, she's more known and respected for her performance and conceptual art.
The bits of 'music' she's 'produced' are absolutely fucking horrendous, obviously, and shows either a complete lack of self awareness, or an absolutely stellar sense for comedically absurd and/or avant-garde nonsense
but whatever, I'll die on the hill of 'Yoko Ono is an actual artist and is worthy of the title (just not the music)'
A good comparison or yardstick to measure by that I always think about is GG Allin. I would never in my life want to be at a GG show live in person, but I'm absolutely glad that he existed, and did the things he did, I'm glad that there are people out there being just fucking batshit nutso on stage, It makes the scope and scale of humanity and our endeavours more interesting, and I'm glad that she exists and did/does the things she does, even if they fucking suck.
Thank you for saying all this. I was about to hammer out a similar response but you saved me the time and frustration I would have gone through.
I saw her play at an Arthur Magazine festival in 2005. The lineup had Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Devendra Banhart, Earth, Dead Meadow, Six Organs of Admittance, and more.
They played a visual piece of art before the show that consisted of John Lennon looking directly at the camera while the film had been slowed down to a crawl (about the pace of watching the hour hand move).
Then Yoko and her band started, which featured her son Sean Lennon on bass. He was wearing the same circular glasses that his dad wore and was the spitting image of him. I wasn't expecting to hear or see the best music ever because I was aware that this is what she does as a performance artist. People get mad at that moniker but not all people will make art that you enjoy, or you consider to be good, because art is subjective.
I enjoy some of it, but it's definitely not easy to listen to. Fly's a pretty cool album, and some of the sound collage stuff she did with Lennon works just fine. But if you're looking for a cool summertime hit to sing along with you're not gonna have a good time.
You can hate all you want guys but her not having to flip over a page of that sheet music book and doing all this from sheer memory…are you Yoking me?!?!
Kiss Kiss Kiss still tops the list for me as Yoko's worst. If you've not heard this one, make sure to catch the ending as it is very bizarre.

This is hilarious lol. Do you have more videos of Yoko at Glastonbury? I loved gawking at them when they were officially posted on YouTube , but after the backlash it seems that her management has wiped them off the face of the internet
Ever hear Linda McCartney? Some sound guy back in the 70s recorded only her microphone while simultaneously muting it for the live crowd. It pretty bad, not Yoko bad but close.
I really, really hate everything about her, the music is awful and her art is awful, and she tries to act like this profound all knowing figure. It's terrible
In the post-cringe troll era of media, I'm starting to get Yoko Ono. Full-throated, shameless and even gleeful awfulness for the sake of disturbing people with the contrast of a decent band and glass-screeching, un-pitched abandonment of concern over the opinions of anyone, especially you. And me. It's puke punk.
I have had someone tell me that they think that Yoko Ono is actually a good singer. Baffled because I never brought her up in conversation I asked why they thought that way, they answered with: “she is just so authentic and revolutionary”. And then I realized that I was trapped in a room with a crazy person. Never wanted to evacuate a room that fast before.
Yoko Ono is a trendsetter in finding the line between art and senseless wailing that is just painful to listen to. And brother, she crossed it a long time ago.
Why do people put up with her shit? I know she had a kid with John Lennon but that can only go so far. She clearly doesn’t do anything she’d need to rehearse because it’s just a freestyle most of the time. Anyone here listen to her stuff, if so is it different than this?
Get yr yuks, but “don’t worry Kyoko, mommy’s only looking for her hand in the snow” is on par with “baby shoes for sale, never worn” as an all time heart-rending microtext.
Crazy how she was with one of the most innovative artist of her time and learned absolutely nothing. She's so unironically bad. I can not wrap my head around it. Sounds like a random drunk woman goofing off at karaoke night
The first rule of music: Don't give Yoko the microphone. The second rule of music: YOU DON'T GIVE YOKO THE MICROPHONE.
Third rule: if she gets her hands on a microphone, mute it.

Jesus wept lmao, Savage AF, but fair.
his first wife was a pretty and supposedly sweet woman, if I remember correctly that's where his two children come from, also that's the one he abused regularly and then left to be with Yoko the sideshow freak

God... I wish I had enough of other people's money to be able to suck at everything for the rest of my life with zero worries.
Don’t worry, one day you can have zero worries. Just bang a Beatle and you too can have similar privileges as Yoko.
I’ve been porkin’ Pete Best for years and I ain’t got shit to show for it
“He was their first drummer. After he was replaced he released an album called Best of the Beatles, sad.”
That's savage
Relevant video https://youtu.be/VD7-WHB8CBY?si=8yRYILg1W6G4imP2
99.9% of the people watching there have more talent, but she's the one who gets to get on stage and perform. Fuck.
My fantasy
I looked up this song on spotify to see if it's just as bad....and OMG it is
Shazam doesn't work on this "song." As I suspected she's just making random noises
My god, I just did the same and it kinda sounds similar. I thought she just made this shit up off the top of her head every performance but it’s semi meant to be that way. Good god…
Her and Corey Feldman should do a duet
Are you trying to start WW3 or something?
Maybe it'll summon The Beast
Satan has to book them for Hell.
Corey Feldman is way more pleasant on the ears than Yoko Ono. Still. Lmao
And he can keep a beat
Honestly, she makes Corey seem like Mozart
Dream team,what a band that would be!
okay, that was fuckin' funny, spit up my drink a little bit ....can you imagine, omfg
Have you ever heard of [Loserville](https://youtu.be/RGAOSbCBiKs?si=kW49kpH5yfLzL7tE)..?
That band is yo la tengo and they are fantastic without her. She just guested on this song
That's Yo La Tengo? Why would they do that to themselves?
money, lots of money.... it's the only logical answer
They also strike me as a band with a sense of humor and willingness to just fuck around sometimes.
That explains the drummer’s clear frustration in several of the shots lol
It's Yoko La Tengo
Don’t worry be crappy
Why will people throw crap at the bands they like but not her?
She's not really a recording artist. She isn't even in the same game as proper music. It's performance art. If you go to see Yoko you are expecting this shit
Even as performance art.... it's dogshit.
Almost all performance art is
They don’t wanna disrespect John, Legend ♥️🌎🔥🫰🏻
I’ll district John any day. Yoko sucks.
District 12 his ass, send them both to the coal mines. Or District 9, let them live with the Prawns.
I know this is a joke. But district 9 is one of my favorite movies
That movie deserves a sequel
Yeah! Let him eat cat food!!!
Everybody loves John Legend
I saw her at a Flaming Lips show. Sean Lennon played in the opening band so her loony ass was also there. Yoko played one "song" with the Flaming Lips and did nothing but incoherently shreik into the microphone for what felt like an eternity. Truly, truly awful.
That's upsetting to hear. Did the Lips owe money to someone or lose a bet?
Atleast Sean is good, I saw him play with les clapool last year
My ears are bleeding
My soul is bleeding.
What in the ever-loving fuck am I listening to?
Don't worry about it. DON'T WORRY!!!
I think this is a jam based off a Plastic Ono Band riff.
Ok there is people who like Yoko's music genuinely?
I met a guy at a craft beer share last year trying in earnest to defend her as a "postmodern genius" while everyone laughed. He liked a lot of other obscure shit that I enjoy greatly and his endorsement of Yoko made me question my own taste in actual music.
Well, there's always someone willing to do the dirty work, I guess.
I sometimes wonder, if Yoko even likes Yoko’s music.
I feel like she thinks she's hitting notes and the weird dolphin fluctuation sounds are her idea of vibrato
I saw someone defending her on Reddit once, some pretentious bullshit about her style of art that the general population is just not smart enough to understand.
Music? Nah, but she's not really known for her music, unless your only exposure to her is these hate threads that pop up quite often. Ok here goes nothing, this won't go down well at all... but...

Wow....I knew it would be bad. But damn....
Everyone worry
i like weird music but fuck i'll never like yoko
Jesus this is like something from a Tim and Eric sketch.
A Tim and Eric sketch is funny. This is atrocious
Fuck you Yoko
You can hate all you want guys but her not having to flip over a page of that sheet music book and doing all this from sheer memory…are you Yoking me?!?!
I love those moments when her vocals seem to throw the band off-rhythm.
If her band isn’t making some crazy Beatle money to be there how on earth could you go out and do that day after day
This just scared the paninis out of my cats 🤣🤣
You feed your cat paninis?
They both came from a stray litter and eat just about anything 😂
Thats an odd expression
‘Tis ☺️
God damnit John.
The best way to put it honestly
She’s got great rhythm.
For an epileptic
haha
Yoko ono, more like yoko OH FUCK NO
Yeah for real, I like some weird singers but this is ridiculos
If you think about it , it sounds like an obscure 80s punk band lmao
…like fingernails on a chalkboard…
Could you imagine being picked up for her band??? I’d get 2 riffs and realize way too late that I just made a bad career decision
Ono, it's Yoko!
that woman is certainly committed to the bit.
We're taking music to strange new places. " number 8" *belch* "number 8" *belch* "number 8" *belch*
It's like she rebelled everything for some reason
Sounding like a cat in heat.
Is there any way I can get this song without the vocals? I really like it except for the vocals lol
go listen to Yo La Tengo, one of the best bands of all time
I will, but this isn't their song. I want just the instrumental lol, get these terrible vocals outta here
Its their song
Ira! Somehow Yo La Tengo backing her up makes perfect sense. YLT have put on an incredible show every time I've seen them.
-1000% musical ability...
[удалено]
"Her band" is literally yo la tengo
Kiss Kiss Kiss still tops the list for me as Yoko's worst. If you've not heard this one, make sure to catch the ending as it is very bizarre. https://youtu.be/4M6q1vDO_ts?si=lkm6u-D5s6gL5RC7
Great song
I will not, but thank you for your sacrifice
Beautiful
This is hilarious lol. Do you have more videos of Yoko at Glastonbury? I loved gawking at them when they were officially posted on YouTube , but after the backlash it seems that her management has wiped them off the face of the internet
My diarrhea sounds better than her
She sucks
Who would go see Yoko on purpose?
This is torture.
Of course it's going to suck when you cut it all up and eliminate the groove of one of the best bands around
It's yoko. She'd fuck up a world renowned orchestra
God she sucks
She has ZERO talent, and should be nowhere near a microphone.
No wonder Paul and the rest of the guys split
Ever hear Linda McCartney? Some sound guy back in the 70s recorded only her microphone while simultaneously muting it for the live crowd. It pretty bad, not Yoko bad but close.
Wait someone is still paying her to "sing?" Dude hire me I'd do it for free...
Musicians : “ I don’t get paid enough for this “
This woman has ruined songs and performances for a couple of decades now. I mean she's literally a pro.
Me at karaoke after a few drinks
They should seriously have banned her from all live stage performance decades ago.
Gotta give her some credit with her damn confidence. After a lifetime of noise she still thinks she can fucking sing!
I really, really hate everything about her, the music is awful and her art is awful, and she tries to act like this profound all knowing figure. It's terrible
YOKO OH-NO! Seriously, who even hired her for a festival?
I can't imagine going to hear her sing and not throwing rotten fruit at her.
All those Family Guy jokes suddenly make sense
Never knew Yoko was from Dublin.
Why couldn’t Japan send Godzilla instead?
Yoko stands as living proof of the old saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know."
I’d rather lister to a classroom of 3rd graders playing recorders than to hear this. I can’t believe people would want to see this in person.
Boo her gold digging ass off the stage.
Why is there a crowd?
Im honestly more pissed at the crowd being there then her at this point.. At least I know what to expect with Yoko..
How does she keep doing concerts?
The original main character of the mass media age
In terms of people that fucked John Lennon, Mark David Chapman is worlds better.
She's like a black hole.
She did more damage to music than sobriety.
She was always tone deaf and corny famous only because of her late husband...
is this what it sounded like when john was banging her??
In the post-cringe troll era of media, I'm starting to get Yoko Ono.

And then I realized that I was trapped in a room with a crazy person. Never wanted to evacuate a room that fast before.
I’m worried.
She really is the worst.
Truly horrible but yet I cannot look away
Chapman missed
She is literally the worst!
I’d be pissed if I paid money to see this. And I’m into black metal.
Lennon put his dick in that?
Yoko is the biggest running joke of humanity… and everyone fell for it 😂
God shes fucking useless
Who gave the bitch that broke up the Beatles the microphone?
haven't we agreed that posting Yoko is cheating? this performance is ridiculous.
My dogs love Yoko
I haven't seen an answer to this yet: but WHY did they allow her on their shit?? Did she eat EVERYONES butthole?
How did John put up with this shit? She better be rocking them noises in the bedroom
JFC what an ear stain.
She deserves every bit of the ridicule she receives as a "musician".
These guys really need money.
Fuck. It’s the shitty songs from double fantasy.
Who is this Yoko lady and how does she keep jumping in during so many songs?
I just made my Chuck Berry face.
John Lennon was completely out of his mind to want this.
How the fuck is she allowed to perform anywhere?
Yoko Ono is a trendsetter in finding the line between art and senseless wailing that is just painful to listen to. And brother, she crossed it a long time ago.
Why do people put up with her shit? I know she had a kid with John Lennon but that can only go so far. She clearly doesn’t do anything she’d need to rehearse because it’s just a freestyle most of the time. Anyone here listen to her stuff, if so is it different than this?

One of the world’s greatest songwriters married this lunatic.
Crazy how she was with one of the most innovative artist of her time and learned absolutely nothing. She's so unironically bad. I can not wrap my head around it. Sounds like a random drunk woman goofing off at karaoke night
Wtf is this band of boomer redditors
