I would throw 50s at that man for willingly busking when he can be doing something else.

[iAussieGuy]

If i saw john butler i would have walked over and threw my wallet on the floor, Shook his hand after. and told him he inspires so many people to play guitar :).

[Krolchilla]

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

@guitaro321 LOL ID TAKE NOT BEING A LOSER OVER GRAMMAR ANY DAY YA QUEER!

[guitaro321]

@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR Oh my god, man. You're killing me.

[AliJako]

@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR mate, you watch a video called "John Butler busking for first time in 5 years" you know exactly what its going to show, yet you just make comments about the artist like "maybe they have better things to do like get laid or get wasted than watch some faggot" and then just continue to try and "insult" and i use the term insult very loosely, other people.Seriously what is your problem? the only possible explanation i could have is due to your name, you are incredibly jealous.

[LolitaJenings]

Wow...cool dude.....btw....here's some nice busker competition....a lot of cool buskers there ... enjoy =) randrworld[dot]com/buskers-com­petition.php

[lewishogben1234]

Why is there only like 5 bucks in the busking pouch?

[phantonn24]

[Dillz6666]

[imandend73]

Dude he's fucking playing ocean! 

[musicfun32]

@imandend73 yea no shit!

[hippiejamfan]

[InvisibleKid6666]

@hippiejamfan It is one of the Triple J staff...

[jacobcs]

i would have SHAT if i saw fuckin JOHN BUTLER in a subway or on the side of the street. holy shit. id lose it dude.

[sixstrinngmunky]

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING TO SEE

[ScuxItUp]

lol @ the pathetic amount of money given haha

[sooperdude1992]

@ScuxItUp how is that funny? that guy earns over 2 mil a year now xD

[aklanonboy]

isnt this in central?

[TheSlex666]

@aklanonboy Yeah, you can tell from the green tiles, its the tunnel that leads to the bus station

[PatMurph245]

this version is fantastic, he dosen't usually base it on the second fret to the 5th

[outkasted05]

The term is used in America but not commonly. Street performers for the most part, some do it for a living some do it for fun. Theres a movie on youtube, hour long, called "buskers" pretty cool

[spel6]

Busking is a commonwealth term, it's British English, not used in America.

[binzing]

Thank you for understanding. Take care, peace. : )

[binzing]

I'll give you that. My apologies, I was in a somewhat nasty mood last night.

[binzing]

Street performing. Its a common term world wide, you must just be ignorant.

[jujututu]

WHAT THE HELL IS BUSKING????

[binzing]

Street performing.

[ebonspine]

You see buskers in Boston sometimes. Busking is basically just setting up shop in a public place and jamming out for free/tips.

[itsalljustaride]

Go by Berklee College of Music and you'll see like 5 people out busking on any given day. So fun.

[adamcawdle]

if i could play like him i'd do the same thing :P...

[musiclover1342]

wow is busking just an australian thing or something? i can't believe some people don't know what it is

[Masamuneblader]

Happens everywhere just most people don't know the word for it.

[bigalrules55]

lol its also said in the UK bud. i thought it was a worldwide kind of word... wierd. lol

[Hamsammich111]

You can't go 30 feet without finding a busker here in Dundee, Scotland ;D

[TheHouseOfBoo]

hes truely one of the last good musicians out there

well from my point of view at least

like hes not afraid to do what people that have made it just as big as he has are afraid to do

such as busk in public

in the end

im straight as hell but id still sleep with him if i had the chance

[GroovyGuitar02]

busking rocks , i do this sometimes ... helps for musical self-confidence and sometimes you get lucky enough to tell "ive just bought a new pack of strings , a beer and a sandwich and all this thanks to my music ! and still , there's money in my pocket =D"

[jessenjoe]

wow:)

[robotfamilygchicken]

is that the tunnel at central station?

[stridar57]

when was this....I love that fact that he hasn't let  success go to his head

[liag877]

fuck I love Ocean.

[blade1394]

didnt john have to pack up his things and go busk somewhere elsee due to him busking in a public walkway

[abovetherim981]

if i was there id be rockin out not texting

[FMG49]

what does busking mean...

[smittyguitarplyr]

Busking is the practice of performing in public places for tips and gratuities. People engaging in this practice are called buskers.

(wikipedia)

[SatoriEarth]

You don't have buskers where you're from?

[willieturnip]

He's from the moon!

[mayolaishere]

[rafaelaruiz33]

i love how half the people are texting while he is playing, i dont think they really understand who JB is.

[andythedood]

i think they were texting everyone

"OMG I JUS SEEN JB AND I THINK I WANT TO DIE NOW SEE YOU LATER MY LIFE IS NOW FUCKING COMPLETE, IM AWAY TO BAKE MY HEAD IN AN OVEN"

or something along those lines :D

[greg2588]

[shenze11]

that was cool...i saw him in lollapalooza and i got to shake his hand after the performance...what an honour

[saladfingerz17]

[jrodfrizplay]
