Treat Yo Mama - John Butler

[AustralianKing19]

WA makes some bloody good artists, ACDC and john butler r 2 of the biggest hits of their eras and birds of tokyo and im sure theres many more

[debestciannel]

it looks like he inspired himself to make his song "hello" from this version of treat your mama!!

[IPstandingStill]

Pretty sure Johnny is facing the other way ole' mate in red jumper.

[MrRaunchyrhino23]

it is now my quest to find that 1 person who disliked this video, and slap them upside down the head.

[theowlseyes]

i love this version because he messes up a few times and proves he is in fact NOT a robot and can make mistakes from time to time. one of the most kick ass musicians of all time ~ dig it

[92jonjon]

"Slap you upside-down your head, if you don't treat yo mama with respect" - Genius.

[enanox98]

Wow, exelent ;D

[pieren154]

the guitar he is playing here is a weissenborn copy a dobro is a slide guitar played the same way but is a resonator guitar so there is a difference in sound to them :)

[alertjean]

This sounds so indian!!

Heard carnatic music before? A classical style of music from southern India.

Check out an instrument called the 'Veena' or the 'Sitar'

[ShanyuBeauman]

@ alertjean -agreed

[SSwadis]

The proof by you.

Tu en es la preuve, d'autant plus que tu écris ça en latin pour te donner un air intelligent et pour que les anglohones ne comprennent rien.

[jimwaltza]

[pedro911212]

[jimwaltza]

[pedro911212]

a dobro is one of those guitars that dies straits played, i never knew what they were called

[kerouac9991]

they have other stompboxes that are a solid block of wood with i think a pick-up inside, about the size of a cd case ellis guitars from australia makes them

[minetehe]
