They add some backing vocals that Lennon doesn’t have. Steven Tyler has that same aggressive delivery and he has that raspiness in his voice that is suited more for the bluesy feel the band has. It is a much faster tempo and the song is actually about 23 seconds shorter in length. It is definitely are more rocked out version than the the slowed down jazz groove from the Beatles.

John Lennon’s vocals are aggressive and full of tough guy attitude. The McCartney bass line throughout is the shining star on the song musically. The solo consists of Lennon on the electric piano and then Harrison laying down a little jazzy groove on guitar.
