Were you underwhelmed by last week’s leaked Beck tracks? Have no fear … if this preview is any indication, the versions we heard weren’t done with their disco nap. Watch the video for “Hell Yes” in all its solid unmellow gold glory: Win Media | Real.

methinks the unmastered “demo” version was much better.
this version isn’t as good as the rough mix. i hope it’s a lame celebrity producer re-mix.
Ew. Yeah. The original was waaaaay better.
is this even the same song as the one I found on razorbladerunner.blogspot.com? the one I heard had a phat hip-hop beat. this is like a remix, and it’s alright, but nowhere near as good as that mix. damn, yo.
The link no longer works! Ugh!
it just links to the Beck website with no new additions in the media section
What? Is this video “powered by the cheat”?
And yes, the original mix is waaaaaay better.

Brooks: zing!
I like both versions. The second version is much more dance accesible. People need to stop freaking out and knockin’ on poor beck. WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU?!?!?!?!?!?
i’ve heard the proper version of this song and this must be a remix. because this is not what i’ve heard. the other one is so much better.
This video gives me hope that “Guero” won’t suck as bad as the leaked version did. At least on this, Beck is doing something fresh for himself. On this version, his vocals hit the jackpot, because they are painted over a correct backdrop. But on the leaked version they seemed flat and lifeless. My five cents.
CAH-rap.
Don’t you mean your two cents? Anyway, I like the leaked version better too, the hip-hop beat is way radder than the dancy one. But I like both, and the video is just plain ridiculously fun.
Is it just me or was that video full of gay references? There was the pink triangle-like house roof in the beginning, then the unicorns, then the whole “rainbow-coming-out-of-my-ear” sequence (that was too much).
But that said, Beck rocks. He’s a genius . . .
Hell Yesss!
This is the “8 bit” remix, but will air for the video. The original is the leaked version, which will be on the album. It seems like it may be called Ghettochip Malfunction, though.
No seriously, what the fuck was that?
Damn, that would be better if it was “powered by the Cheat.” At least it would explain for it.
The only thing I like is the Transformer vocoder chorus vocals… and the speak’n'spell shizzle… hawt. Other than that it totally sucks.
Well, I thought it was great. Love me some Becks.
the video was awesome. i haven’t heard the leaked album so i have no idea what the song should sound like. it sounds pretty good to me though… i like his bass. his beat is nice.
what the fuck? last week you guys were all “man, this blows, beck sucks,” and now you guys are saying the demo was much better? you guys just like to complain.
as an aside, i’ve listened to neither.
This new version is awesome.
This remix was done by 8 Bit, the band/group
http://www.ninjastarrecords.com/bit~1.htm
They’re not true 8 bit sounding. Fun to watch perform live though. Best way to describe them: A bunch of drunk gantsa rapping robots. Sometimes one of them gets really drunk and starts wrestling with the other members..breaking beer bottles and stuff. Its actually three guys and one short girl all dressed up as robots. Very cool nice people.
I suppose its too late to get a hold of any of the leaked tracks. But, if anybody knows of a place where I can get a hold of them, let me know please.
That 8-bit sites got some great tracks up too and the remix is tight. Can’t wait for the album..
what site did u find the demo cd on? must listen, ive been waiting for a new beck album for a while…..and u can listen to all the songs on this site? blah, someone post it soon
I don’t want to hear the leaked version this way when the album actually comes out I will be much more stoked to buy instead of knowing whats it’s going to be like anyway.
i like the remix – very single oriented
dig the video
fAx mACHINE aNTHEMS!
great song …
the best artist nowadays

- that said, I like that 8 Bit remix. I heard they are just an indie-rap group, that he kind of discovered them… How do I find more info on 8bit? Good for Beck to give new talent a chance and rock it like a moldy crouton. I like their bass…
Shynola are the masters of 16bit Graphic Mayhem. Great video if a little psychadelic cut and paste lo-fi for my tastes. But i bet Beck loves it, the crazy mother.
I HEART BECK!!!
man HELL YES is so damn fucking good!
all hail the mighty beck…he’s working his legs, his beat is correct….HELL YES!!!!!
that group 8-bit is an indie/unsigned underground rap group in LA. i heard Beck’s brother saw a show, bought a CD, and passed it on to Beck. Beck liked the CD and he personally arranged for the group to write all the music for this version. The track isn’t a remix. its was composed entirely by 8-bit. they have a website at:
ninjastarrecords.com
Xtian, It’s not a lame celebrity remix. So I guess you’re out of luck.
fuck beck. really. that overrated little retard should just hang his musical hat up for good. i hate the new songs and i can’t believe some people still find this fool appealing.

i dont get it is this going to be the first single off the new album, why isnt “e-pro” the first single/video
methinks every person who is insulting Beck is an idiot
Beck rocks! I have gone crazy over him over the past 3 weeks when I picked up my odelay cd! His last album sea changes was kick ass and the songs I heard from the new album have taken a new electronic direction which kicks ass. Beck is a genious! I have not seen a band be able to change their style of music from cd to cd like beck has through out his career.
Unfortunately Beck is a scientologist and since scientologists believe in aliens invading bodies because of nuclear events, I can’t take his music seriously anymore. Would you honestly buy a record of someone who believes in a galactic overlord named xenu? And if you are in denial about it…check out his new gig…The International Foundation for Human Rights and Tolerance Benefit? A scientologist association. The only words he’s never wanted to hear is that he’s sold out…and he’s done exactly that. This album blows. I’ve heard it. The only decent track on the whole thing is “Missing” and perhaps “Broken Drum”. It’s unfortunate..but sometimes artists have to (for a lack of a better word) suck. Maybe he can start touring the scientologist benefit circuit. They’re used to paying shitloads of money for a steaming pile of crap.
For those of u wondering you can get the leaked versions of the songs on limewire. I love Beck and the way I see it is that some songs are gonna suck every once in a while, with any artist but I love Beck no matter what cuz he’s original and has made my favorite music ever. I’ve heard both versions of this song… love ‘em both…….hell yesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!
Anyone that thinks these albums actually “leaked” ought to be shot for your mere stupidity. It’s the oldest maketing trick in the book and you fools fell for it. Beck leaked those “choruses” himself to create controversy and publicity.
I believe this video is wayy better than the old video
were is becks from which country
