Amanda Palmer "Guitar Hero" Live From Sxip's Hour of Charm

[MyDarkMuse983]

She puts so much of herself into her performances!!!

[emiltbee222]

Her voice makes me orgasm multiple times in a row

[TheSoundOfCowbells]

Better than the real version!

[Mrphe3000]

I remember meeting Amanda and Brian. They are sweet and polite. Though it was their last performance before they took a break

[kkhorimoto]

i love afp, but these songs sound much better with their full instrumentation.

[NitB92]

This is great! When will you be in Canada, Amanda?!?

[KilledCZ]

Sexy :)

[remsijackson]

It's like watching me through my lounge room window.. scary !..

your a mad bitch too.. love it..

[winnconway]

she just has so much fun. You can clearly tell she enjoys what she's doing. She is one beautiful and talented woman. I don't think there's anyone else around like her.

[derebin]

I just fucking love how into it she was during this.

[xeofreestyle20]

cool performace, 

[Tomethy16]

I actually love her.

[cookiedew]

I adore this performance!

She feels every lyric, also she can perform her stuff

unlike other so called artists. Amanda is someone

to learn so much from, musically - everything!

I cannot wait to see you Friday Amanda! :)

[bumperboy]

There is so much passion in this performce.

[Nihistal]

I was there that night... by far this small venue show outdid any show I have seen since (not counting KMFDM because I am biased because I worship KMFDM)

[RyJo]

She's really into it in this one, really spot on. Love the dissonant chords. <3 Amanda Palmer piano assault.

[XNEXT1]

You are so amazing. I know you get that SO MUCH but really that was a incredible performance. you are truthfully amazing. you inspire me greatly. Amanda I love you. haha! You are a great musician I don't know any other way to say that. I will send you fan mail or something like a box of chocolates. hahaha!

YOU ARE A GODDESS AMANDA!!!!! <3

[00snakeman00]

Why thumbs down for "the start of the song?" I understand perfectly what she said I was replying to some hater, go have a look st amy favorites morons ;) xx

[Punishment247]

This woman is so crazy talented. This album is freakin awesome!

[Thunksmash]

I love this recording so much more than the album version. Wish I was there for this concert.

[00snakeman00]

the start of the song?

[Starmongoose1991]

@00snakeman00 She sins I can't get them up, I can't get them up - I can't get them all at all.

Then whispers "Hey ho, let go"

[00snakeman00]

LMAOO noo! some idoit said something like "what was that" and I said the start of the song?

[Mellovixen]

she is my hero

[lilmissphoops]

holy shit she gets into it! i could't take my eyes off the screen.

[KlonopinSaves]

And then the microphone falls at the end. She didn't plan it but it happened and it fit so perfectly. I love this song. Amanda Palmer is an artist. Not just "a chick that sings"...a fucking artist.

[dkingrules666]

it's really funny what people say about amanda palmer.

i didn't know talent until that amanzing night when i listened to the lonesome organist and it changed my life forever.

those naysayers obviously have no clue what they're talking about.

people say she brings nothing new to music and she started a musical sub-genre.

she's actually good at piano, unlike certain mainstream crap that some people listen to.

you guys can take your negativity elsewhere because you got nothing on amanda!

[xXShinigamiXKatieXx]

My sentiments exactly.

But then again, this is youtube,

And people just seem to enjoy pissing one another off.

But isn't that what the 'spam' button is for~? xD

[addicted2skins]

love it when she slams the piano at 3:07

AWESOME.

brilliant performance as always

love you Amanda Palmer

[kiek]

I totally agree. The 'RRRWAAAH' sound she makes with it makes it per-fect<3

[fastasaleper]

I'd give anything to see her live.

[nerocon]

Another great performance, love Amanda.

[B4man75]

I love the emotions she shows in this live performance. The facial gestures, slamming the keys, stomping the pedals, and standing up... love it. The smile during "What the F is up with this S" is probably my favorite part.

[Bowler6611]

I assume she wrote this song... so how can the notes be "wrong" if they are intentional? This song is friggen' BRILLIANT!!

[javeyardway]

how does she make that sound at 0:57?? haha

[xShockXXx]

i think she just screeches really high pitched and does it quickly.

[emmz4life1]

i <3 her dress ^-^

[TommyGangsta11]

I love the way she slaps the piano in anger all the time :) She's amazing

[DysfunctionalDoll667]

i fucking love her.....

[bwalasavag08]

I'm a homosexual male but I would screw AFP......damn it

[yayitsmangakasami]

i'm a heterosexual female and i would too

[stfugtfofgt]

Talent in a musician doesn't always mean classically trained voice or years upon years of piano lessons.

Amanda is gushing with talent and art.

Pff, snobs.

[br33zyPWNZz]

She's amazing XD

[xxShadowChanxx]

woah such a different feeling from the recorded version. i still love this one too though. i like how different it is. :D

[FoodleProductions]

I have a huge crush on her.

[natstonproductions]

its not easy to do a gig on a keyboard without a band.

amanda palmer is the meaning of pure talent.

[princesschanel]

such fucking talent!!

[Weaselking003]

She's awesome! I get to go see her concert tonight!

[mychemfreak246]

notice how nearly all her songs would sound good in a play?...like the onion cellar?

[lionsgateblows]

she turns every performance into pure art

brilliant

[anulay]

Holy shit...okay...wow...how did I not know about her until now?! AMAZING! I haven't been that hypnotized by a performer in quite a while. She plays so damn aggressively!

[walkingshark]

Someone has a girl crush

[PunkCabaretFTW]

I love how fresh her voice sounds here!

Although, hearing solo versions of the songs off WKAP sound so strange to me now ... still, she's a flawless performer! <3

[whitestripes171]

that is effing awesome

<3

[KissabilityofReena]

Jerkstick don't talk about Amanda Palmer like that. She's the most talented new artist out there.

[c2bed]

fuck you, amanda is the most talented artist, ever.

[c2bed]

Slipknot sucks, Metal sucks, it's not music, this is.

[c2bed]

I love the band No Doubt.

[taranlovesurine]

HAHAHA!!! *rolls eyes* Really?! kjdhfkjh... Speechless. You're retarded.

[smellslikechildren1]

Machine Head, Slipknot and so on are all corporate bands out to get your money. That's why they're thriving with Roadrunner. It's all just pop-music put into a little rebellious package.

[chubsykins]

erm she should just do what she likes, cos we all like it aswell

[Treenleaf]

haha dont feed the troll

[kamikazelombardo]

she got talent but i prefer regina spektor :)

[romgitsean]

how can you even compare a goddess like amanada palmer to fucking regina spektor? that's a prepostorous comparison. that's like saying a cat is bigger than an elephant. it's simply not true in the least.

[kamikazelombardo]

im not comparing them, if you read I SAID THAT I (WHICH IT MEANS THAT MYSELF) PREFER Regina Spektor, theyre both talented, and spektor is more than you ever heard, im an ignorant in the music of amanda, and you mi friend on the regina's music, i ll be more than glad listen more of her music, and i recomend you to do the same with regina

[vanzetti1927]

holy crap, her preformance rocks hard despite being a solo and raw version of "guitar hero". i love it

[sinneswahn]

hot hotter amanda

[AcolyteV1]

And a more on topic comment that my video game reply - Epic and awesome performance by Amanda, as always :D

[ColorMeVegan]

Amanda Palmer is brilliant!

[2mmnml]

SHE FUCKING ROCKS@

[ChemicalyDependent]

i love her so much!

[TheHannahBus]

/q/q/q/q/q

[N8thygall]

ich liebe die frau, die hat genauso eine scheiß miststimme wie ich, viel zu tief yeah voll genial! endlich mal nicht der übliche britneyträllerwirhauenunsdiest­imme

zumoberstübchenobenraus-scheiß­.

Thanks Amanda!!! Love you!!!

[imthegrinch]

holy sh!t you can hold a note. i love this song

[Freelancer2007]

You can definitely tell the difference from then and now. I love you Amanda, SO much dedication! Keep up the passion. Remember that your fans are behind you 100% we are the little WKAP ARMY ;)

[icedawg3352]

First of all, I just lost the game...thank you smellslikechildren1...

second, I can't wait for the sheet music for this <3

finally, I love you Amanda!

[obsessionXwithXgaara]

Aw, I just lost the game!

Damn it!

[BestDamnThing254]

damn, u made me lose the game. :3

[Rakatung]

ARGH

[yesseniaT13]

Damm it. I just lost the game

[stargirl119]

goddamn it!!!!!!

[hodown94]

master of your domain?

[smellslikechildren1]

"Holy shit, my microphone fell..."

[bigodin]

i'm in love with amanda palmer

[starrave]

haha, the ending was priceless. =)

[MadFranandfriends]

God poor woman I can feel the strain on her throat in this......

I'm so glad her operation went well!

[Constellationblack]

I dont understand why people have thumbed this down...

*thinks*

Meh, it's beyond me.

[MadFranandfriends]

Yeah, this performance was BEFORE her operation and she sounds SO MUCH better now.

So to the idiots who thumbed down my comment, I made that remark as someone who is trained to hear when someones voice is going.

I love Amanda Palmer, so don't thumb down!

[annodyne]

excellent, but instead of the mic drop i strongly suggest slamming, sliding and then squeezing the keyboard to pick it up and slam it down and then proceed! it's on a stand i think would go over well if practiced right. I mean u cant hump it like lewis, but would be just the same.

[DramaBaby1234]

with her hair like that and that gorgeous outfit she would be an amazing Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd lol she is so amazing though no words can describe it

[Vicemary]

You're so beautiful *tear* You are a constant inspiration to me

[omardj13]

amazin the end is fenomenal

[fairestskye28]

I love this!! Such an ANGRY piano-girl...just what we need. Video games suck. They are not prep for war. Not even close.

[magnoliaesque]

I actually heard the song was about a school shooting somewhere.

[tatugirl18]

thats true, she told it n a concert i went too..

[ariesram9]

That's a different song.  "Strength Through Music" is about Columbine

[Glamourra]

Man Amanda, speaking german deutsch deutsch.

leck mich in meine Yarak!

[smellslikechildren1]

You lose your life!

[fairestskye28]

I PERSONALLY don't like video games. I was just commenting on how realistic war games don't prepare people for the true aspects of war. You really didn't need to be rude. We all have our interpretations of song lyrics, this is just mine. I didn't mean to offend you, but your manner did offend me.

You get a life.

[AcolyteV1]

War games are no more meant to prepare you for actual war than the board game monopoly is meant to prepare you for owning your own property empire. They are merely _games_ for fun, amusement and distraction, nothing more.

Not having a go at you; like you said, you personally don't like them, and that's perfectly fine. However, I just wanted to point out that there was a definite misconception at play in the statement.

[daedalic]

Hmmm. That is not entirely true. War games don't prepare you for an actual war in terms of skill and physical fighting, but it does put us into the mind set that make us subconsciously accept the use of violence, etc. (though that depends on the player's mentality, too. =p)

[elnrith]

its 100% the player and has nothing to do with the game

i play a shitload of war games but i think actual war is stupid and pointles

[MlekoKofolaCaj]

It is great. The end is absolutely fantastic...

[gabwqt]

so what's the use in going outside?

it's so depressing when people die in real life.

i'd rather pick up right where we left

making out to faces of death.

hahaha i love this! <3

[DramaBaby1234]

I would kill to do two things 1- Meet and befriend Amanda Palmer 2- Figure out where Amanda buys her amazing clothes!!!! lol

[jenea4279]

her skirt is on sale on the post war trade website. There is a ton of cute clothes on there.

[PandasEatingPeople]

There is! I really want the "text me when you're ready to fuck" shirt!

[jenea4279]

I love that shirt, I have her wearing that shirt as my desk top...I just love her!!!

[DramaBaby1234]

thank you !!! =D

[XshattereddreeamsX]

anyone have chords or sheet music please? thanks...

really hard to learn by ear

ps - the studio version pwns.

[rachied123]

they shortened the cd version! i prefer this longer version, in my opinion it makes more sense.

still great though

XD

[ScriptedHappiness]

God I love her.

She's so incredible.

Love the possible head butting of the mic.

She's so fantastic.

[insurreality]

I like the full lyrics here :)

[Asim0f]

amazing as always, love that outfit.

[Bzzzzzapkaplooie]

i still can't figure out if she headbutted (or face butted really) that mic.

[WerewolfMorgue]

Amanda, you can read my mind.

[tonksloopy]

this is fantastic! Amanda you are gorgeous!

I love this &hearts;

[Starmongoose1991]

I love how different this sounds from the cd. Both versions are great.

[SourLullabies]

I think the CD recording of this song does it justice - in all of the little quirks of the song (the intro), the passion, the emotion, the rawness of it - very beautiful song and well arranged

[messymess13]

Ooooh how did you get the CD version? Have I missed something? I suspect I have =/

[SourLullabies]

Amanda released it on her solo myspace widget - just go to her myspace and check it out, I'm sure it's still there :)

[messymess13]

Ohhhhhhhh yeah thanks =D

I thought it was just advertising but I clicked around a bit and found it :0

Fankooooo.

[smcwilly08]

i love your skirt!!

its amazing! well. all your clothes are but this is just wow!! x

[AllThatJazz3088]

she's crazy and i love it :)

[MYLIFE125]

I loved it when she knocked the microphone off!!

That just made it more amazing!

[Milkshake85]

She's the one. The legend

[JamiJasmine]

i don't know if it's just because it's new to me, but this has got to be one of her best songs!

[Sarix35]

when i first heard this song, i was head over heels in love with it.

but now i'm all for astronaut.

[XxXBoohBahXxX]

oh! astronaut is definitely my favorite :D

[Sarix35]

yeaaaaaah, d00d! :}

did you see her perform with the pops?

[JamiJasmine]

i saw her play these songs solo and guitar hero really stuck out to me... i really love them both though! astronaut always gets stuck in my head, it's so much fun to sing!

[silverroze1113]

Hey I just worked on this music video with amanda palmer and the wonderful girl below me! it was so much fun I love the song and we fucking rock out in the video! you guys should keep an eye out for it during august i think the video should be out and the album in september!

[itsmeandmysn]

[Sarix35]

[hubbabubbajosh]

I LOVE this song... i would do anything to see her live...

[Sarix35]

i've met her twice, seen her perform once, and i'm seeing her on june 20th for my birthday, don't mean to brag.

[hubbabubbajosh]

YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!! i bet it was amazing!!! and when you say you met her... do you mean you actually got to talk to her??? and HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY....

[Sarix35]

Yep, I talked to her, told her how much she means to me, how she inspires me and she slapped my face with a kiss, and yeah, it was the best minute of my life. :D

I'm going to try to dance with her at the afterparty for the show im going to next friday !

[hubbabubbajosh]

Wow that is so cool... you know if you need an extra person to go with you to see her... i'm open next friday... jk... if you do meet her again you should tell her to play in Missoula, Montana... if you could please.....

[Sarix35]

[RevengeX0]

[imadreamerr]

[DawnlessSkys]

Dude, you have to come to Hawaii one of these days. I envy the other states because of you going to them T-T

[GlumFaerie]

...I'm lying down with a fever and this music is piercing a hole trough my head, but I can't stop listening to it...I LOVE you Amanda!! Come to Seattle!!

[greendaygirl26]

Words can not describe how much I adore Amanda and her music. She is simply too amazing.

<3

[Sarix35]

you can never just listen to a song of hers.

watching it adds all these emotions and greatness. :]

[rachied123]

AFP...

you break my heart

[klaytonrocks]

I think I just fell in love with Amanda Palmer. XD <333

[Sarix35]

JUST?!

hehe.

[cupxcore]

She's so amazing. I wanna be herrrr!

[kttgoth]

The reason I love Amanda. When she performs, it is always all or nothing.

I love how to emphasize the notes and feelings she just slams her palms on random keys.

[aaaaaarroonn12323]

its so fucking catchy. i love this song. been a dresden dolls fan for awhile now and i love this

[JackSkellington1984]

Oh....Amanda=god but better

[cult66623]

i really want her oufit....

[NicoleAnachronism]

is thi about the game Guitar Hero?? I thought it was but then i didn't think it was but then i did again..im so confused.

[redribbiongirl]

its not, its about war and shit like that...how did you get guitar hero the game out of that song?

now thats confusing!lol.

[NicoleAnachronism]

iono all my friends are video game nerds so i find the nerdyness in everything

[redribbiongirl]

ha ha ha! wow like all my friends are just freaks so we dont get that reading into things. kinda funny. but hey! that first comment was good for a laugh!

[Rimmmer]

Oh my, she's incredible.

And I´m not wondering her vocal cords needed surgery. They do really hard job. And I so love it.

[Sarix35]

only the best need it. ;]

[bettysfruggie89]

very cool...so intense when she sings... I love it. and as for the different projects between the two dolls members...they've both had lots of other projects.. they've both had things going on between cd's and such

[XshattereddreeamsX]

this song sounds awesome xD

and i love the title... Why is she going solo though? They only have two members as it is lol
