Frank Turner is one of the most inspiring, true musicians I've heard in a while. I love the message of his songs. Whenever i listen to him for long enough I feel my life getting better, no other music really does that
Great video. Although, why censor it? The lyrics of Frank Turner are there for a reason and should not be shoved aside. C'mon people, the full version of the song should be available to all!
good to see people ENJOYING what they do. feel like a lot of artists take it all for granted. "There are people that are rockstars and people that play music."
Hey guys, If you like Frank then you may like my mate Jimmy Holland. I have a video of him up on my channel, check him out. Im sure he would greatly appreciate it :)
One day, I will be in one of these videos. I will also play the harmonica solo from "Dan's Song" on stage with Frank one day. These ambitions outweigh every other goal in my life, literally.
Thing I like the most about this all is that he just looks like he's genuinely having fun. Was the same at his concert. He joked a lot and just had a good time.
LOL I just tried to figure out the chords to the chorus, and I was having such a hard time. Then I was like hmmm....wait a minute....love songs in C....politics in G....songs about our friends in Em....Frank you smartass haha now I feel stupid
This guy is so amazing. I love his ideals - that musicians shouldn't be above the people they play to, and they shouldn't look down on the people as 'fans' like they're below them - they're just sharing the music, and they just play music, and anyone can do it. He's what gave me the drive to learn guitar and try to write my own music. He's incredible.
@wickedjoel - going by the headstock, i`d guess it was either a Danelectro or a Guild of some kind (or a copy) . can`t say for sure though i`m afraid.
I just found out about this guy about a week ago, and I can honestly say he's the most joyous, honest, and talented songwriter in years. He makes me wish I was a Brit. Please, PLEASE never stop singing. You're real.
@amandapandapie and i guess 1 person is original with his comment.... seriously! do is actually matter if people don't like a song?! i'm getting really bored of this stupid, obvious comments that no one actually cares about!
I paused the video at 1:40 to go and do something, I came back, looked at the screen quickly and thought the guy on the bench was Kryten from Red Dwarf? :L Anyway, this guy is just....words aren't enough to sum him up! His lyrics! His voice! Him! Just...everything! :)
@TheMiddleHanded Yeah, I realised towards the end of the video that he was the drummer, and began to instantly regret writing that comment :L I think it was just the way the video had stopped :L
I'm fucking annoyed with myself for not knowing about this when it happened. I go to uni in Winchester and I was probably just down the road when they were filming :).
Oh well, it's still a brilliant video and song :D.
@hyperman101 I realised that afterwards once I'd looked it up on his blog :). The location thing at the side confused me because it said Winchester and I didn't realise that all of his videos say that.

Frank Tuner "Try This At Home" UK Christmas Number 1, 2011
For Everyone who's sick of the X Factor manufacturing "musicians". Frank Turner's "Try This At Home" is about everyone stopping listening to the fake crap produced these days and ordinary people taking the music back. British people are sick of Simon Cowell and want talented musicians who write about real things to regain the industry.
I wonder- is that opening line: "Let's inherit the earth, cause no one else is taking it" a jab or reference to the Replacements song "We'll Inherit the Earth." They sing "We'll inherit the Earth but we don't want it." Could be interesting, cause if the Replacements didn't inherit the Earth, that would explain why no one was taking it in Frank's song.
of course the message of this song is every1 can make music ad should...did they not contradict themselves by the video kinda implying eastern asains and black males cannot.....
Loving this song/video...Frank has a wicked connection with the camera...just totally open and honest and makes you feel like he is EVERYBODY'S friend :) Frank rules ;) xxx
@Privatepile747 Yeah....over-censored, agreed ....but my kids are learning altogether too many swear words between my 2 favourite artists....so it ain't all bad ;)
@buryyourashesuk Sorry, just saw your question...I know I'll get some stroppy remarks from certain old school Frank fans but my other favourite is Green Day.... :) and they did me the good turn of bringing me Frank when I didn't know who he was.....and he's just soooo damned great :)x
@MrsLepetit I hear you , my 5+7 yr old boys learn too many bad words from Frank. I am never fast enough on the Volume. Nashville Ten. "Well I've been to Texas State ,..."....
@MrsLepetit Not sure there's such thing as too many swear words, I was a stressed ball of pent up frustration until I learned to swear (this makes me sound like an angry toddler, I was actually just a very sheltered child, and single-sex education did me no favours), I intend to teach my kids (if I ever get mature and/or bored enough to have any!) to swear, but only at appropriate times.
this is the best of your songs :D i saw you supporting green day on wednesday, and i think you should've just done joan jett and the blackhearts set too :P
