Aphex Twin - Monkey Drummer

[frigaziga]

We can do this now.. its only a matter of money and time.

[pinkpuppy1984]

Pure genius.

[JesusFknChrist666]

Note to self; 1)Get a roll of duct tape 2)re-position high hat  3)utilize free hand for fills 4)notify Dave Weckl he has some new competition.

[TheDoors937]

gets progressively more disgusting the longer i watch

[jamesblunt006]

Chris Cunningham DVD

[TheDawg475]

wow... that was disturbing =D this feels like the weird part of youtube ;)

[TheOneLichemperor]

@TheDawg475

If you like this; go check out the work or Cyriak Harris. His work is... just something else...

[NinetinNinetin]

@TheDawg475 This is the normal part of youtube and the truly artistic part ;)

[AssortedJams]

Dude, how much does one of those cost? My band needs a drummer.

[psy4live2house]

Als een pik op een drum stel ,,,,geniaal

[Sirron49]

at 1:13 he begins to play with his dick lol

[rand1182]

the greatest part of the song is the part that comes after this video is ovr, thats why its so bad!!! fair play chris cunningham but u only used like the fast part of tthe song and not the real emotional amazing ending part where richard is like skipping, gives me chills, but i suppose the monkey isnt serious enough for the emotionalness of aphex twin, i love him sooo much man.... such amazing music....

[somefucktupshit]

this is the kind of shit that aliens jam out to while they are performing experiments on us.

[Ch1llma3xtr3m]

ok...THIS is creepi...

[RainTunes]

Ahaha I love how to stick for the Hi-Hat is coming out of the Monkey's Crotch

[PMKENPMHIDAKA]

Funny PV. I love Richard D. James.

[Incoherente]

[thedangermonty]

chris pennie drum machine

[verapamil07]

Do you actually hear the melody here? Because I do, and I am wondering if I am sane?

[SouMelhorQueTu]

@verapamil07 No one's sane.

[balkoo]

I think this is DnB, could that be. I mean it sound exatctly the same way. Sorry, for my bad english, but i'm from switzerland. I hope i wrote it the right way, so you can understand, what i mean.

Greatings from Zürich

D from Zürich ;)

[celt1core]

Aphex Twin rulessssss.....This is true music, made from the heart, not even thinking about billboardcharts or whatever those losers like KP and gaga try to do...

Keep it up, Richard, you kick assssss!!!

Greetz from Holland(shame I don't have a ticket to Lowlands)

[Andokool12]

Should rename it to "Monkey Drummer" and say in the description that it's by Chris Cunningham while the song is "Mt. Saint Michael + Saint Michael's Mount" by Aphex Twin.

[Jahoobano]

Does this do anything with 3D glasses?

[livingsocks]

@Jahoobano I'll send ya a quid if you can research that :D

[munchchewy0]

@Jahoobano Yup...

[mspubquiz83]

this is ace, but it could be SO much better

[gorxor]

the hi hat is the best

[SuperBluetulip]

i made a monkey that plays better......always on 4/4  the dude dont do triplets :)

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

Lol creativity ? this is just noise haha

[JordMcDrummer]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa so is the shit im hearing from you. aphex twin rules.

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

@JordMcDrummer Dude i love afx dont get me wrong .. but this song is just .. noise .. i mean 90% of you aphex twin fans listen to the music so you will be cool .. when we all know its like swallowing cherry cough syrup .. stop lying to yourselves and get real

[JordMcDrummer]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa i dont listen to aphex twin to be some bullshitty scenester so fuck off. you cant say its noise, theres actual rhythym and beat to it

[Maddog53AU]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa its more of a percussive version and the creativity is within the drumming mostly

[ScrewTheLiving]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa I didn't even know that listening to aphex twin makes one cool in some circles.

[invadercowy]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa The visual imagery that Chris Cunningham made for this video is simply amazing and the music... it's just amazing. maybe your brain isn't advanced enough to understand but neither do I so you have no excuse to not love this video.

[stickmister321]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa People who wants something different, this is it. This is dark, this doesn't have simple melody. It's experiemental and we love it <3

[Kassidar]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa I trust you've never heard windowlicker then, (don't watch the video clip though)

[bringontheboosh]

chris cunningham 

[sparingnstuff]

this is awesome

[Mendosa666]

You know what's scary? This isn't CGI... This is an actual robot he uses in his concerts...

[Cromper]

@Mendosa666 Yeah and I bet you go to church every Sunday too!

[Mendosa666]

@Cromper No I'm serious... My dad went to some of his concerts; those arms are latex.  Aphex Twin was a professional electrician or something like that.

[Cromper]

@Mendosa666 LOL!

[MONKEYJAW89]

@Mendosa666 no robot can yes perform physical commands that fast

[Mendosa666]

@MONKEYJAW89 Hmmm.... Actually yeah. Think about it, there are already computers that can perform actions faster than that, and the robot can perform as fast as the CPU unit. I might be wrong but think about it...

[MONKEYJAW89]

@Mendosa666 oh really, go on wikipedia and search aphex twin monkey drummer and find out for yourself

[Mendosa666]

@MONKEYJAW89 Yeah I just did. The limbs belonged to a dude named Sigtryggur Baldursson. So far nothing on there has proved me wrong. Here I'll put the quote on here...

"The owner of the different bodyparts playing in the video is Sigtryggur Baldursson or "Siggi", is a founding member of Icelandic rock band The Sugarcubes. He was shot multiple times in various positions with his torso being chopped off in post and replaced with a mechanical Torso."

Straight from wikipedia.

[nekonuzze]

@Mendosa666

@Mendosa666

Well there you go. 3D animation and editing. The guys torso was edited out and replaced with the mechanical one.

Thus the limbs are real, not latex, and the mechanical torso is just edited in.

Not a functioning machine.

This video won "Best 3D animation in a music video"

[Mendosa666]

@nekonuzze Hmm.. I stand corrected.

[IceGiant]

this must have taken days to do!

[maymee83]

I'm fairly sure I'm having a heart attack

[DEADG23]

Something very disturbing here..

[solnegrolunaroja]

left and right channels are inverted from 1:12 !

[elcocochupacabras]

un clasico del arte contemporaneo de los ultimos veinte años¡¡¡

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

Gotta give that thing credit for being the first robotic mammal to drum AND the first robotic mammal to drum with its dick.

[onura46]

This beats out pretty much everything I've seen in the past month. Including the Bed Intruder Song.

[georgewagner2]

I thought the soundwaves on the sides were the best part.

[smitha207]

wow. that's great shtuff.

[Tazmansk]

Aint this "Mt saint michel mix+ st michael" from aphex' DrukQs album?

[southpaw89er]

@Tazmansk yeah it is. sounds like it.

[PatThePhat1]

i believe in god every time i watch this.

[applepilover]

I can't stop staring at his dick. It's... it's just so damn talented.

[vernoxdnb]

not even chuck norris could've done that better!

[Peacemaker2027]

I'd love to see George Bush in that seat

[SwansonMatt70]

[faen5863]

Is this an actual robot? or did they just clip body parts onto that?

and lol at the penis-drumstick

[AdmiralSnook]

gotaa love people with creative thinking, thats what keeps teh world alive and going.

[WickedRai]

..... wtf kind of music was that??

[jamieboyrockon]

@WickedRai GOOD MUSIC.

[Jellybeantiger]

Yeah but intelligence is something you are born with,not earned.

[garthbartin]

The music sounds awful and is repetitive and it's only original because no one else wanted to make something that retarded. how do they get so many views and likes???

[walter1990]

@garthbartin intelligent people know everything but do not question it, they follow.

creative people know everything and then they see opportunities, they choose their one path, no matter what others say. those are the truly genius people.

[MCbinkles]

@garthbartin maybe people besides you enjoy the music.

[stablematter]

@MCbinkles Or maybe he's still in high school... Yeah I think that's it.

[thespandexman]

@stablematter I'm still in high school and I've been listening to AFX since I was 10.

[stablematter]

@thespandexman

It wasn't directed at all high school students, of course. But the stereotype about high school and some college students not appreciating good music exists for a reason. More often than not an anti-(insert artist here) is inexperienced in the world and is satisfied extolling their own delusional sense of grandeur. So don't get defensive about generalizations and claim exception, there's really no need to, as it's not personal at all.

[thespandexman]

@stablematter Alright, just making sure you weren't as age-ist as everyone else on youtube, sorry :D

[bedsidetable2]

i like his music but im slightly disturbed by his vid

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

How can anyone not love Chris Cunningham (:

[chickenbiscito]

Yeah, the originality of this video is superb ;)

[ederaugusto20]
