  • Well done buddy & the Zimmers.  Hope I can find it on i-tunes. I sent the original to my mother's nursing home. Keep up the great work!

  • So positive, and exciting-- for so many.

  • what an incredibly monotone and hypnotizing voice

  • I find Geriatric1927, or Peter, as I believe he's called - to be a very interesting man. I've found myself, whilst listening to his videos, enthralled in what he is saying. He is a genuinely interesting man.

  • But who's the boring one? He who has nearly 44,000 subscribers, or you who has 26? Well I think I made my point!

  • you strike me as the kind of "person" -I use that term very loosely-that would be involved in a hit and run.

    It takes a genuine coward to hide behind the anonymity of the net and post half witted hateful comments about a nice old gent sharing his time.Please do us all a big favor and stay away.You're a waste of band width.

  • Ooooohhh you're on dangerous ground now. This is backfiring horribly.

  • lol still around

  • I've always like the Zimmers. Their songs are interesting and usually catchy.

    You have a good taste in music.

  • Your very good to be able to talk with real no mistakes for 7 mins. Nice vid

  • ur hot<33333333333

    wut is ur myspace bby

  • you aired this video before my birthday!:P

  • I will buy your record. Sounds cool.

  • I saw you on the making of your generation song, I kept going to my mum 'there he is' everytime you came on, lol

  • ive got that e.t in tha bakground!!! o bi tha way i luff ur work

  • woow i posted the 366 rated :D

  • it was shown on german television

  • german television?

  • well I wish you and your freinds all the best with the Zimmers!

  • Peter sir! I saw you on the Graham Norton show just about 5 minutes ago! I had to look twice to make sure it was you hope you're ok :)

  • Power to the grannies!

  • I saw it on the news as well, and I must say Congratulations

  • saw you on graham norton, very entertaining

  • omfg he is so ADORABLE

  • the zimmers suck, so bad. no talent.

    why would anyone want to listen to that noise other than to laugh at some old people?

  • that's mean!

  • If you are referring to the GN show, I agree. The choreography was appalling and did not do justice. Must see the Monday show. The woman guest was a right turnoff - but thats GN I suppose.

  • mrusername,

    There is a BIG, BIG difference between laughing at people or having fun with them.

    When you still laugh át the Zimmers, hope you will also learn that other thing too, one day. Otherwise you will absolutely miss a lot in life.

  • don't be hating mrusername, they will chart long before you do AND it's for charity. whats your aim? to own a hummer with rims etc.. time for a reality check. your just trying badly to get people to watch your attempts at rapping.. will you get signed? nope your attitude is all wrong for a start.

  • It's called respect.. something you probably have never witnessed or seen or given. They obviously have talent to be known by others right off the bat, and laughing at old people is what retards do.

  • Watch it, man.

  • Like a hawk.

  • Peter! Your a God! From the Ex Leicestershire Fox! May you go on forever!!

  • oh my god i saw this on the news, then i saw your face and i was like =O it's HIM!

  • Just saw you on the BBC News headlines!! (the 6pm one!)

    Brilliant! :)

  • Seen you on the Graham Norton Show - GREAT!

  • thank you for sharing your time with us your great.you are a insperation to every body.god bless you.

  • thanks for ally our videos! love it! :D

  • You were on Aussie TV, sorry I missed it,

    Fantastic work Peter, keep it up!!!!!

  • you were on aussie tv today!

  • The Australian show TodayTonight just featured the Zimmers "My Generation", and you talking about the project. But they referred to you as "Alf" - confusing you with the lead vocalist. I sent them a message about the error. I didn't record it unfortunately. Maybe it'll be on Yahoo7 later. Cheers, Mike

  • GREAT news! It will be wonderful for this to take hold. Finaly some one did what was needed for years!

    Grand parents should never be forgoten, and have their wisdom and love in society for the children.

    Your a Gods gift Peter!

    Thank You!

  • just saw you on tv just now

  • lol they were on grayham norton!

  • I JUST SAW THEM ON TV

  • I have just seen a clip of the zimmers on Graham Norton. That Grace is a bit naughty.

  • ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!

  • My 2 year old nephew and me saw the Zimmers on This Morning today. He loved the song (and so do I) and was dancing around the room to it!

  • Saw 'the zimmers' on "This Morning" today... made me smile :) hope you guys are having fun

  • you're in the zimmers!?! I didn't know, thats great though. I remember seeing it all on the television

  • Already pre-ordered at Amazon-co-uk! Thanks for reminding me! BEST OF BEST OF LUCK with the whole thing!

  • Hi Peter , thanks for the update.

  • You are the coolest guy ever!

  • I just love what you're doing here, and what's going on with The Zimmers. You are one totally awesome and inspiring dude!

  • Peter you are a top man. Keep it up. :)

  • wow you are so handsome - come to NewZealand hehe

  • i also love reading your story .

    When i get aged . what shall i do to enjoy my life ?

    in Chinese : 中国的退休老人他们喜欢下棋,不知美国情况如何?

  • I will definitelyl buy an album. How exciting! I'm sure it will be a smash hit. BTW, I love your ending Alan Parsons Project Song. "Old and Wise" is one of my favorites.

  • Hi Peter, i for one will definatly pop into the local music store and purchase the zimmers single. Also just noticed something there, that ET figure is always poking out somewhere in all your videos. lol

  • Cant wait, Good luck Peter

  • Alan Parson Project!! Way cool ending music, Sir!

    I think the band you are in rocks! It sounds like you are getting a lot of satisfaction from your involvement with the Zimmers. Hot diggity, that is wonderful!!

    One of my favorite Jethro Tull songs is "You're Never Too Old To Rock & Roll (if You're Too Young To Die)" and those have always been words to live by for me. Or as Yogi Berra once said "It ain't over 'til it's over". Keep on keepin' on, Sir. :-)

  • good 2 c u stil around lol, c u again

  • I loved that song done by the Zimmers

  • Raoulthompson lay off

    He said the money is going to be donated to a charity to help the elderly.

    He is in the band and he is talking about what he is doing lately, and that is his band.

    I would gladly buy this album.

    So Think Before you Comment!

  • I did think, and it happens to be my opinion, which is different than yours. That means I shouldn't comment? Well, too bad. I believe in freedom of speech.

  • AWESOME

  • Your ear-muffs are back!

  • All the best wishes to you and the Zimmersband. Wish I could watch BBC here in California!

  • Hi Peter,

    It seems like ages since the My Generation video came out. I can't wait for the 28th and I hope it's a huge success!

  • This is my opinion, if you don't like it, forget it: Don't ever use a forum you claim to be so sincere about to sell something, I like your vids but I really think its not cool to ask people to buy your stuff on the same forum as you bare your soul. We liked you for your stories and personality, now it just feels like your capitalizing on that. IMHO

  • How is he capitalizing on it? It's for charity.

  • I wish you all the best with the single. I know it will sell very well.

    Good luck

  • Wonderful!

  • Just wonderful, Peter. So exciting. You must have had great fun making this. You make a difference...and you make getting older hep just like George Burns did :)My birthday is May 31 so Ill get it as a birthday present to myself. woohoo Love u, Pattipi

  • One thing that does bother me as well however is all the underlying promotional material seemingly all over youtube now and behind many of the videos. I don't think its cool to ask for money or post videos that have an underlying "request for money" theme, even for charity. Its not that I am against such things, I give to my church, I give to feed the children and other organizations as well. I just like coming to youtube for entertainment, I don't really want to be hit up for money...

  • I agree, I think its pretty egotistical to use something that people enjoy (i.e. your personality and soul) and then turn it into self-promotion to make money.

  • DigitaIDouchebag <<<<< completely and utter sad boy dont watch or comment if you dont like his videos its simple!

  • what is with you morons who get so offended at bad comments? Such a bunch of hypocrites, that want a burgeoning and REAL community and free communication but only if its nice? Grow up.

  • Right!

  • This is a great idea that your doing Peter, although i must say i'm not completley in agreement with 'help the aged' charities...it seems like in the 21st century that young people need the help more...houses to pay off, children to feed, etc etc etc. They don't recieve a pension or free public transport either.

    But nevertheless, good luck.

  • Wow that's great news Peter! I hope it's a huge success for you guys! <3

  • This remindes me of a senior rock band from some time ago called "One Foot in the Grave"

  • Also I want to say that when you compare your new videos to your first videos, you can see a major transformation Peter. You talk much more like an expert now and a leader. You come across strong and clearly in control. You know precisely what you want to communicate to your many thousands of listeners and viewers! This is a GREAT world and a GREAT time to be living!

    God bless you Peter. And keep on keeping on Peter!

  • Hey Paul, read about you guys in US Today!! Rock on!! xoxo Mango xoxo

  • Also Peter, its really neat to see that you are getting to make music also. I know that is something you really charish too. You've come a long ways since your first youtube video and internet experience. You really are an excellent representive of seniors. Its like you are starting a brand new life! Who knows where it will lead Peter! You have so much to do now and so much happening! Its wonderful!

  • Peter,

    You must really be beside yourself. I am so glad for you. Its really nice to see that you seem to be realizing so many dreams during this time of your great life and that you are almost starting a completely new exciting life. I am so happy for you!

  • Where do the proceeds go? You mentioned the idea came about from elders in unsatisfactory conditions, is the money generated going to fix that?

  • Sweden sucks but you do have some nice Blondes there that I would not mind nailing.You people also drive Tanks and call them cars,to us they look like Bricks!

  • Absolutely Resplendent Peter,you are doing very good works.

  • Glad to see you back online Peter! And looking forward to the new CD...

  • You are so AWESOME!!!!

  • man there are some real rude folks on here... Livewire-

  • Congratulations Peter.  I hope the Zimmers are a huge hit.

  • Dear Peter, it is so nice to see you enjoying this project while helping others. It bothers me to see people thinking you have given in to "fame." I see you embracing life and the satisfaction to help others and enjoy life from the Zimmers project. I love the video and plan to purchase if I can from the US.

  • May 28th is my Mums 76th birthday. Wish I could get my hands on it here in Australia on that date. Mum (Florence) has subscribed to You Tube now under the name 'Fluorescent Fossil'. She will be posting vids as soon as we get her a web cam. She was featured in my Scavenger Hunt video on April 1st.

  • I made my generation a fav. and I show it to everybody that I can get to watch it and they all love it.everyone involved did a great job.

  • We love you geriatric hope you stay around for a while to come. Keep up the good work.

  • You look like a WW2 British Tank Commander with that headset.

  • cool!!! I can't wait!!!!! :D

  • geriatric1927 you know theres a solution to your rude comments to your video seriously type watchman on the youtube search click on the frist video you see

  • Thanks for the tip re: Watchman. I sent him a note about some of these waste of spacers giving geriatric1927 a difficult time. It is hard to know what to do with the losers like digitaldouchebag. After all, if they knew what tools they are they certainly wouldn't publicise it. The best we can hope for is that they don't reproduce!

  • I hope not cos she is so damn sexy!

  • Looking forward to the performances and the cd!! Peter, you and the Zimmers rock!

  • digital stop spamming

  • peter,Iam a fan do not let the trash get you down! I will buy your cd when it comes to canada.KRUGE67

  • please don't reproduce!

  • Peter, YOU have given "oldies" a voice by your vids here on YouTube. Thank you for all you do and all you are! We love you and we love the Zimmers.

  • Great news and the best of luck!

  • I 'd like to say that CNN is a miserable excuse for a news station. Sorry. Had to get that out. --- but this is a good idea. I'm impressed so many organizations are involved. Sometimes it seems that they are unconcerned with the little people in life. Peter! You've got some tenacity about you. I'm looking forward to getting the CD!

  • Nah, lets not.

  • Top stuff. A bit like listening to Grandpa from The Simpsons. When are you 80 then Peter?

  • So exciting, sounds like a lot of work and fun as well! Looking forward to it Peter :) Cheers.

    ~KK in USA

  • w00 cant wait lol.

  • Old and Wise by The Alan Parsons Project from the album Eye in the Sky

  • Hmm. Intersting how his tune has changed from "I'm want my anonymity" to making a record and appearing all over the place on TV in the space of a few months. Isn't it amazing what 15 minutes of fame will do.

  • Agreed. Especially from someone who wanted to tell "so called" stories to begin with.

  • What is amazing is how some people will use their "15 minutes of fame", as you put it, to try to help others, like Peter is, while others will just use it to help themselves. I think what Peter is doing is wonderful. Congratulations Peter!

  • Don't be an asshole. You try dealing with the kind of pressure he's been under without finally giving in to some of it. He's using his popularity to help people, what the hell are you doing with YOUR life? Whining! Blow away!

  • Uh, yeah, Peter thinks no such thing and he's not a prude, so while I'm at it, a big ol' screw you too!

  • the single is releasing at my birthday:P

  • Good to see you again, Peter.

    I'll be sure to get the video/audio..

  • Congrats! I'm extremly happy for you all. It's a great idea and I cant wait to pick up a copy! Take care, Leslie

  • I'll buy it just need to know where it will be sold

  • Sounds Cool, I need to buy me a copy haha!

  • love the videos but why would an allready cremated song be bought when sung by oaps its not even remixed

  • Old rockers never die!

  • I can't wait to purchase the CD! Will it be sold worldwide?

  • hi peter. i hope every thing gose ok for the launch of the cd. i will be watching and recording the grayham norton show on thursday. keep well

  • Last time your generation went global, we had a world war.

  • LOL that was horrible but funny as hell!!

  • lol i like that song....

  • so were you a really healthy person as a young guy?

  • Very cool! This was on all the news channels here in New Zealand last night. Gooc job!

  • nice nice

  • Peter, will the record be available in the states? By the way, great choice of theme song by Alan Parson! The lyrics say it all.

    Vetterman

  • Congrats with your music peter =)

  • cant wait

  • Can't wait for the Zimmers Band - know it will be a huge success. Thanks for all you do Peter - you are one of the Very Good Ones! ;-)

  • Brill!!!

  • I love this Peter! Thanks.

  • IDEA! Youtube director? Vlogger?? Great! Get the "my generation" song, and play it in the background on your next video! Put a link up in the description. Just a small effort to promote a great cause. Thousands of people are watching, what better "power to the people"?

  • old guy

  • Peter, I am so proud of you partner... it is an honor to be attached to you on here and I just want to say are doing great! Your videos have improved, your audio quality has improved and in such a short time you have taken this hobby so seriously. But the truth is with or without improvement to your videos, It is YOU and your experience, stories and warm personality I come here for. Keep it up and know that the wolf has your back.

  • Straight to No.1. Our E-Grandad is a rockstar! Yeah... Rock On.

  • Great job Sir!

  • Good show, Peter. Good luck with the CD! Nice new video! Nice to see you again.

    ~Sam

  • I'll certainly buy it. Your work-rate puts younger people to shame.

  • goodluck with the cd

  • You are super Peter. I am of your generation and I think our generation is GREAT!!!! and so are YOU.
