SPEEDBUMP by Tony Levin

[sevenismagicman]

tony! wash your hands! lol

[whisper6969twice]

Good song. But I liked his bass playing on John Denver's song the best

[HarvestOfSounds]

It only could be Levin.

[mrbeautiful999]

Anybody know what Airport this is?

[AudioTechinca]

ahhhh! thais is sooo awesoomeee!!!!

[tall32guy]

That is COOL bathroom! LOL! I like that! :)

[mwkcope]

He's like "Yeah...I'm just gonna leave these guys to...whatever..."

[mohacsozmen]

this is a video! and he didn't even unbuckle his belt. r u blind? you dildo!

[CRAXYFINGERS76]

Tony's the FRIGGIN MAN!!!!!!

[slayerfreak121]

WTFAMIWATCHING.JPEG

[dnjesusfreak]

i quite honestly think that if you don't want to watch the video, and just focus on the music, there's a thing called the "minimize" button...but i think the video is hilarious!!! and the music is even more amazing!!!!

[gatomjp]

Terrible video distracts from the great music.

[yugenro]

Ha! That's hilarious!

Those guys are feeling a little more comfortable on that bathroom floor than *I* would be...

[MitchMcMetal]

haha sick vid, sick song, amazing bassist, but has anyone noticed, when he walks into the cubicle he has no glasses, when he closes the door they're back on, then when the camera enters the cubicle they're back off? just thought i'd mention it

[mangosnake]

@MitchMcMetal Dude. He's Tony Levin. He has that kind of powers.

[Roflmop]

Yeah, everybody is telling that he went out without washing his hands.

But what about being on the toilets with his pants still on?

[007Pogo]

Lmao, funny video

[MrRastaManDan]

Legend!

[andreaprodan]

Great Kubrickian Bathroom!

Strange things DO tend to happen when 'on the road'....

[hdaldin]

Great video by a GREAT bassist/musician!!!

[repercush]

When The Water Breaks

[MoonNymph775]

well the bass kicks ass, but the video...hm...

[plutofactory]

hilarious!!!

[meekrob]

Great song, but this video is kinda fucked up!

[GrooveSherpa]

brilliant

[mikinmontague]

Hysterical. Tony's the man. Check out his work with King Crimson.

[Giovachiuz]

what's the brand of that bass gig case ?

[VerneNemo]

Il ne se lave même pas les mains en sortant des WC ???

Beurk !!!

Un mythe s'écroule

[ramonmaza]

jajaja!!!! JAJAJAJAJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAA­AJUAJAJAJAJAJAJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

muy bueno!

[croon4u]

Aw man, still larfin'!! Thank god that's not chord changes being called under the dunny wall !!

[ironwolg]

that was....interesting lol to say the least

what kind of music is this exactly? it sounds kinda funky but proggy too

[Cerebralcinema]

This video was made in response to the Larry Craig scandal a few years ago. I'm sure Tony really washes his hands. In the video he just wants to get outta there. Oh, and by the way, if you don't wash your hands after using the toilet, you're a disgusting pig.

[JBA7726]

b4 Les Claypool there was Tony ,

Now thats some bass work!!!!!

[sdr15]

Funny how Les has covered work by King Crimson and Peter Gabriel, all songs with bass work originally by Levin.

[wilky1189]

what's this obsessiveness about hand washing? you know when i wash my hands? when i SHIT ON THEM!!

--R.I.P. George Carlin.

[ManyGodz]

Was that the Senate or the Congress mens room?

[Aficionline]

Genius.

[armlock11]

great vid and it fits great music

[xanderkand]

Dirty fucker never washed his hands did he though?!!!

[sammytag1]

handwashing is overrated

[armlock11]

I don't blame him w/ those weirdoes in there; he ALSO didn't wash BEFORE he went in.... think about it....

[beastatlay]

Has anyone thought to ask Tony what the cottaging hand signals flashed under the partition mean?

Any speculation? Is the guy opposite saying he won't bottom for Tony? That he likes to thumb it in? Asking if he uses enemas? I must know this!

[rdbTank]

Looks like rock-paper-scissors to me

[armlock11]

yes, final gestures were r-p-s... i'll think twice before playing that game again.

[kjgskundrsiu]

I fucking love his moustache.

[slayermik]

eurghhhhhhh tony didnt wash his hands

[audiophage]

That's how he gets his tone man.

[ChavDeathBringer]

Funny when he's boppin' to his beats while coming down the escalater. Pretty cool music here :P

[baloosey]

Right on Tony, you are the Best!!!!

[Tfaunce]

Tony didnt wash afterwards STINKMAN !

[santyrush]

jajajajaja que bueno, el tio va con sus cascos de musica por ahi, como otro cualquiera, y la gente sin saber q esta paseando a su lado un supergenio de la musica,por dios.....

[einarabelc5]

Lo que lo haca más valioso es que lo tienes que descubrir. Si no investigas no sabrás quién es. Ahora si lo veo lo saludo.

[Supernikomaru]

Decir genio es quedarse cortos.

[worldclasssleepers]

great stuff- check out youtube for some laid back Tony playing on to Ben Brouusard's

Tip of My Tongue

[gliedo]

This is the best combination of great music and hilarious video... you rock Tony!

[denton908]

You just know that Tony Levin's own stuff is gonna have some FUNKY bass.

[upshaw26]

funny video

[snackymacgregor]

that 'stick bass' shit is awsome!

[forgetaboutmyname]

look up some videos of his work with Peter Gabriel where he tapes xylophone mallets to his fingers to get that percussive sound on the strings.

Also check out his intro to Elephant talk by King Crimson.

[pyroseed13]

Hilarious video!

[SoyPerezoso]

What the fuk that vid was weird

[bosunbilly]

It's a saratical social commentary. Think Larry Craig and airport bathrooms and you'll get it.

[spurmarks]

Busby Berkeley on Crack!

[ArtGardenfunckle]

If I was in there and saw that, I would leave without washing my hands too.Get out asap. LOL. Cool video.

[magma2]

I was at the Nokia on Sunday and I agree Harrison was great and is great, but Bruford IS the King Crimson drummer!! Bruford is one of the most identifiable drummers in history. There would have been no Red Nightmare or Bibles Black without him. Never dis the Bruford ;)

[leavingentropia]

Tony didn't wash his hands!

[BootyStackr]

I was totally going to write that, too funny. If I ever meet him, I'll just salute!

[turdhat]

I was at crimson on sat.. tony is a beast as was the rest of the band... Duh, its crimson !! The new drummer Gavin Harrison was by far the best drummer they have ever had. Bill was great but he just doesnt rock out or groove as hard as Gavin and has no where near the power.

[HooliaGee]

Yeah, saw them in Chicagoland on Wednesday. The double drummers are amazing.

[citysoundman]

You've got to be kidding! Bruford's taste, skill and groovability are among the best ever. Have you listened to Red or Disciplne? Gavin is a youngster and has a lot to learn. (I saw them few nights ago and sorely missed Bruford on the older songs). But I agree the band rocks like nothing else.

[rezurrxtion]

Oh my God, this is the greatest thing ever.

BTW, Tony was amazing last night with King Crimson! One of the best concerts I've ever been to!

[ibanezdude777]

OMG! DIDN'T WASH HANDS!!! ha-ha

[shoegooguru]

Ah Haaa! Now we know what was really going on with senator Craig. Why didn't he just asmit he was listening to Tony on his mp3?

[WSTBS]

You were awesome in St. Louis! Thanks for the memories!

Donna and Ben Raskin

KCMO!

[radiantnoir]

i really need to get this cd i feel like im not worthy since i dont have it yet... love levin cant wait to hear new stuff from crimson.

[remistofeles]

how the f*ck Tony always manages his way to making danceable stuff? I can't stop noding my head FFS! xD

[sowhatfixxxer]

talent

[indigae]

what a funny little video, heh. the last thing i ever thought i'd see is tony levin dropping trou...

[MallardTDrake]

Tony's album is very good! He looks like G. Gordon Liddy, or at least his younger brother.

[jimmymason1970]

There's no words, wtf?!

[MrBabou]

You never heard of instrumentals? you dimwitt!

[BucksStudent]

Do you have ADD?

[sowhatfixxxer]

you're a moron

[drdapsoy]

Maybe he meant "There are no words to describe how awesome/bizzare this is" You think someone would have even made it this far to watch a Tony Levin video if they were a dimwitted ADD-having moron who never heard of instrumentals. F all of you!!

[bigalisme]

One of the coolest guys to ever live. PERIOD.

[elperropatron]

Larry Craig sure can boogie when you play the right music.

[mongobongoman]

that is one flash bathroom

[rogeralcantara]

that was uber cool... if ever i saw mr. levin at the airport id probably pick up my jaw from the ground. he is such an insiration. :)

[bigalisme]

Same, though after I'd picked up my jaw, I'd tackle/jump-hug him, and to hell if people think that's weird.

The current incarnation of King Crimson (avec Levin) will be doing a bunch of shows in August. I dunno 'bout you, but I'm going to try my damnedest to be there.

[rogeralcantara]

oh man... how i wish i could... but unless they tour asia and go somewhere like singapore or hong kong... i dont think i can. :( i doubt they'd go to the philippines. :(

[50Stringbass]

he looks like such a hipster...

[dennistheangrychimp]

good moustache.

[gabrielized]

Great video, and I bow before the Emperor - but not in the bathroom!

[aildoux]

Funny!!!! Rock on Tony!

[WSTBS]

We have seen you perform countless times and we watched your "Band in a Box" video where you made reference to this video. We can't wait to see "Bathroom Dancing Part II! We thought it was really funny especially with all of the news on Senator Craig & his bathroom ordeal! Thank you for all of the music you have made and inventing the finger sticks. We own a pair & I love them! Maybe you can get Senator Craig to be in the next video you talked about!

[s100661298]

Tony Levin is insane. I should get this album haha

[bowiemott]

for fans of this type of playing please also check out Gary Willis' new CD. Its quite impressive also.

[clembo1872]

Nice stuff albeit jazzier. Remimds me a bit of Jaco Pasorius and Percy Jones.

Pastorius is gone but Percy's still smoking.

Check him out.

[longdog253]

Is he not THE coolest man on the planet? By the way Tony, I hope you washed your hands! :)

[athox]

Washing your hands is pointless, since you'll be touching more dirty stuff than your ass throughout the day. Especially in public places like that.

[turntapzap]

The man who started it all.

[tomandeloise]

very cool and very funny

[jimdoire]

Has this guy ever played a bad note?

[GentleGinjeet]

if bad means badass :)

[jimdoire]

It seems badass notes is all he knows how to play! I'm certain his bass has the exact same notes my bass does but mine sounds like crap! Tony Rules.

[Keystonetoo]

Great song... but even more.. HILARIOUS video. Are you planning on running for Congress, Tony? Or was that you running FROM Congress?

[donna1m]

i dont know what the foot tap means, but i think this is a pretty cool video... its added to my favs

[mondesecret]

The very best bass player in the world in his first own clip... very funny indeed !

[magog77]

Hilarious take on the whole Men's room "foot-tapping" incident. As funny as the video is I was more impressed with your song. Excellent.

[cosmusical]

..?

[joshuapickenpaugh]

Yeah, great vid....I'd love to see some more indy vids by other great artists that normally don't do vids out here on utube.

[TrippingOverGod]

Would have loved to see Tony beat away on a bass in the public toilet whilst the occupants of the cubicles danced in the background but otherwise it's very good.

[davidleewilson]

But you didn't wash your hands!  Funk fingers indeed! :)

[hoffbug]

Ha Ha Too Funny Tony! The Incident that this is based on Happened in my Hometown Minneapolis/St.Paul international airport . They are now spending quite a bit of money to make the stalls go all the way to the floor!

[Paxenfilms]

Jeremy good shit, love the concept..mad weird vibe but it works..i am now into Levin!

[johnarthurknight]

Reminds me of the upcoming Republican National Convention in Minneapolis. In the airport. In the men's bathroom.

[plumage12]

Haha! Indeed!

[DTRemcoG]

Cool clip and song!

Tony you're funking awesome!! =D

[jasonscully]

great vid ... too funny

[grandstick]

Jeremy,

Great concept!  I was half-expecting Tony to bust out his bass or Stick when he got into the stall!

Tony, as always thanks for the music!

Paul

[V2impeach]

Really great viddy. Someone should send it to Senator Craig.

[Adelstick]

Nice vid Tony. You looked a little flushed.

A modern version of that Zappa poster

[GordyC2007]

You gotta tell Jerry and the rest of the band to quit playing around in the bathroom or the cops will get-'em or even worse some one else. Great video, probably to racy for MTV though, huh??

[bartelmehs]

Forgot to wash your hands? Great video to accompany an outstanding tune.  Thanks

[moonhaw]

Thats great! what aTone! were they Italian Shoes!!? JW

[thadkirk]

Tony, does this mean you'll be running for political office?

Great video, great expressions on your face!

I still say you should tour with Stickman!

[mrsuperjones]

Is this what Peter Gabriel meant when he said you take care of the bottom end? Hope you washed your hands:)

[robertobrooklyn]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[petelevinmusic]

The men's room from the Twilight Zone! I love it!

P

[kprojekt1966]

Actually, it's the ladies' room at the Nokia.

[Lindaloha]

good one, T.

[moomusic]

Wicked.
