i mean heavy as in loud n' proud and blown out sounding. i can't think of any that come close. this came on the shuffle and it still is weird to me that it's a paul song and can't believe it's him when he is all "i get to the bottom and i SEE YOU AGAAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN YEAHYEAHYEAH....[/b]" he sounds crazed and has a good rock scream. woulda been nice to hear more of those kind of vocals from him instead of that whimsical old timey crud

EXCEPT FOR THE LAST PART.
I like the Siouxsie and the Banshees version too.
It was a John song, but Paul did the backing vox.
Obviously I Want You is the heaviest Beatles song. Paul's bass line is what makes I Want You (She's So Heavy) listenable.
For rocking out there is the fast version of Revolution, as has been said.
Everyone probaly knows that Helter Skelter was the name of an amusment park ride. "When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide..."
Come Together isn't as hard rock, but a better all out great rock song. Again Paul's bass.
Husker Du version of 'Helter Skelter' piles on the heavy.
DON'T FORGET THE CRÜE
the Breeders have a good version (yeah, that just happened) of "Happiness is a Warm Gun"
do u have either of these u could upload??
i like the acoustic version happiness is a warm gun on anthology 3 ! effin dope
also the helter skelter on thaer is pretty dopee
i like the first breeders album but i skip happiness usually. i like it okay until it gets to the ending. i am not feeling that dainty ending. i just think the orig is untouchable
anyway, i have it handy
i'd like to hear shellac do a whole album of beatles covers.
