don't understand if you have a beautiful name like David Armand why would you change it to such a complex name like Johann Lippowitz or is it the other way round?
Do you think he realized he did the guitar backwards? Anyways brilliant and when my mom saw ghis she was like OH MY GOD I KNOW HIM!! lol. Small world huh?
Loved this when first seen on TV - never forgotten, and just decided to see if it was on YouTube. Of course it was!
Inspired, hilarious mime - which I thought, at the time was mimed to Natalie's recording - and then she walked on! Wonderful moment....even more wonderful when she joins in the mime. And God, she's so beautiful, and touching, in the way she moves... brings tears to my eyes just watching her.... Gorgeous and brilliant!
Wow. I must have watched David Armand do this thirty times (because I love it), including watching this particular version live, I've watched this video at least ten times and I actually play guitar and I STILL didn't notice that the slide was wrong. Guess that shows how observant I am when I'm enjoying myself.
If people have seen how David did his air guitar on the first time he performed Torn, they wouldn't be such big experts on how to play air guitar would they.
Nothing is worse in show biz than being thought of as a one-hit wonder. This shows that Natalie Imbruglia has grace, dignity, and a genuine sense of humor. That song is just so iconic and everyone who was a certain age in the 90's will never forget it.
@smithrs When I first saw Natalie step on the stage and join David Armand I sort of laughed myself to tears while crying myself to laughter... or something. Y' know? It was such an awesome moment! ^ ^
I'm not going to comment on the guitar slide seeing as how I was one of the first to do so... but you said about a million people have commented on it... and there are only 2,841 comments on this video. You haz teh awesome math skillz bro!
Why should one mistake in your eyes invaludate the performance Better still Bobthemunificent you get up in front if that crowd and see how you do it. Chump
guitar slide isnt back to fron... he payed extra to make his guitar work exactly how he FUCKING wants it to... id love to see all the pricks who complain do what he does... hes a fucking legend and theres nothing anyone can say to change it.. Peace out my fellow followers of this glorious man
@KallistaVindemiatrix , it's the exact meaning of the word "torn" - past tense of the verb "to tear", which means "to break", "to shatter"...he mimes that he is tearing apart a piece of paper :)
was the first thing that made me laugh loud after being totally emberrassed (help help help me how to spell that impossible word) that he played the guitar the wrong way. that was on purpose. he knew what he was doing. Brilliant!!!. Real art is made by simpleness. For your information: I am a very good guitar player/ singer/songwriter............................according to my opinion. Maybe once you will hear and see me me on Youtube. I never throw my pearls before swines .........any more.
Ha! He was turning the fishing reel the wrong way - totally invalidates the whole show...
Oh... Wait a minute... No it doesn't... Is it possible I am being a petty little pedantic half-witted prat with no friends and a hazy concept of the utter pointlessness of my own futile existence which leads me to attempt to ridicule a genuinely talented individual whilst I maintain my anonymity by use of a twee youtube account pseudonym?
Yep, when she starts to mime with him it is cute, but then she is soooo cute herself and clearly doesn't take herself to serious...stunning bit of 2 people having fun!
Awesome! Did you know the guitar slide is backwards? LOL, of course you did, I just had to say it..... But seriously, that was a blast, I've watched it about four times now.
this video has made me laugh til i cried....for over 4 yrs now!!! hooray for them both!!!!
