Hank completes his biography of Lew Ashby

[XxFierxX]

Shit man, just finished watching season 2. What a great character Lew Ashby was, he was like Hank Moody but without restraints.

1 guy doesnt understand english

[MrLuckynumberslevin]

i don't really smoke much weed so i wouldn't know, but how can you roll a joint as fine looking as the one in that scene? anyone? lol

[uncleadolf]

@MrLuckynumberslevin Well it's not real weed in the scene but generally the more you do it, the better you'll get at it. I roll great joints now but when I started the end resulted looked more like a tampon. There are some good rolling tutorials on here too. Practice makes perfect ;)

[looneyngilo2]

So, yes, I just cried in the library while watching this. Then again, I'm having a I-love-me-some-CKR week, so the tears are welcome. Thanks for the upload!

[jmvivie]

@jupazzz its keep me in you heart by warren zevon

[JuPazzz]

name of song pleaseee????



[BrewsterAcoustic]

I wrote a song for Lew Ashby.

Have a listen.

Serch 'Brewster Lew Ashby' it'll be the top video.

[onaradu]

In season 3 was no place for Ashby... But he was the most awesome character in the show (after Hank), his chemistry with Hank was epic!

Rock in peace, douchebag!

[Kefkadet]

Keep him in your heart for a while....

[SwedishStalker]

Whiskey, Weed & Warren Zevon.. Imma try that sometime.

[TheLiamdavis93]

does anyone know where you can get that motley crue t shirt?

[rrearth76]

there are 0 dislikes. one of the few videos ive ever seen that have none. it makes me happy to know that people still appreciate the magic of this scene

[Beulzabob]

Ashby ROCKED!!! You could really feel the bonding between these two characters, even when they fought! I wish they would atleast flashback to his Ashby's character in future episodes.

[MuayThaiViking]

i remember watching the last episode of season 2 for the first time.. i was like YES lew didnt die!! but then.. =(

[sonny221]

@MuayThaiViking same here, then I realized Hank is wearing Lew's t-shirt - that was like taking a knife in a back.

[IntoTheDarkNight]

If i ever run into the writers of Californication im gonna shake their hand for making such a great show.......then im gonna punch them in the face for killing off the coolest character.

[thenacanoroc]

I love how he's wearing Ashby's Crue shirt

[shimokita2]

When Lew Ashby says, "It's all about her."

Who does he mean - maybe Karen or his daughter Becca?

[dryftz]

@shimokita2 *Spoiler for Season 2* He was referring to his daughter Becca. That's why in the end, he decided to stay in LA for her. He realizes his life revolves around her now.

[chuckrocks69]

@dryftz didnt know that. thought he meant karen

[hughmccorry1]

Fantastic opening of the final episode of season two, i love californication it is a brilliant show, lew ashby was a really cool character, really funny.

i also like the fact that the video has a nice round eighty likes that is cool

[hughmccorry1]

love Californication it has been fantastic from season 1 till now season 4, lets hope that it comes back for a fifth, as i woud definatly miss all of hanks antics with women, booze, drugs and Charlie runkle, come on californication season 5.

of course rock on lew ashby really great character, hilarious stuff during the 2nd season loved it

[xdmocromrc]

great scene eventough i just dont understand it :p

is this some kind of movie trick thingy in wich he is already dead and this is an impossible converstion?

or is this before his death

[cs314410]

@xdmocromrc He's imagining it

[Xander667]

@xdmocromrc He is definately already dead at this point. It looked like he died with the Overdose. This was in Hank's head, when he says "I'll miss you too" it's because he is already dead. When they pan behind Hank at 1.36ish, Lou isn't really there. Confused me loads the first time too.

[shimokita2]

@Xander667: What does Lew Ashby say to Hank at the end?

Something like: "It's true what that say you know. They ..... one hell of a ....."

[Xander667]

@shimokita2

"It's true what they say you know. They go one hell of a band." :)

[shimokita2]

@Xander667: Thank you. But what band is he talking about?

[cubensis4life]

@shimokita2 It's from a Righteous Brother's song called "Rock and Roll Heaven". One of the lines is "If there's a rock and roll heaven well you know they've got a hell of a band". Basically Lew is saying that he's in heaven. Or rock and roll heaven. Whatever.

[shimokita2]

@cubensis4life - Thanks - You've given a great explanation of this scene and I think a lot of people will appreciate it! See, that's what I enjoy about the writing in this show. I can see how Californication may appeal to a lot of people who enjoy rock music, like the Warren Zevon song played here, and the literature and Bukowski references.

[Xander667]

@shimokita2 Which is a reference to a Stephen King short story; "You know they got a hell of a band."

[Voldemorciak]

Sorry to say that about main hero, but Lew is a better character than Hank..

[Zoidberg312]

I bet David Duchovny smokes weed.

[BOBBYDECMAN37]

warren zevon :-)

[Kroeger055]

which song is playing after the Keep me in your heart, when Hank is coming to Ashby's grave???? please!!!

[stalk8r]

@Kroeger055 It's It's my life by The Animals :-)

And you're welcome, it's incredible song. Had to google the lyrics as soon as I heard it :-P

[Leoohyeah]

They got one hell of a band....

[smithyboo70]

WOW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE MET A REAL LEW IN LIFE,, HOLLYWOOD WOW MAKE-UP GOOD SHIT,,,,,, LIVING HERE IN LOS ANGELES I SAW SOMETHING TONIGHT AT RALPHS LADY WAS HOLDING HER LITTLE DOG KISSING HIM, I PEEP IN HER BASKET WOW ABOUT 3.00 HUNDRED DOLLARS OF MEAT SHE SAID TO ME HE EARNS IT SO MAKES YOU WONDER FOR U DOUG POPS FASION

[gear161]

I prefer lew ashby than that shit called Dj Ashby

[genuiN4PK]

love the Crue Shirt...and the scene is just fucking genious.

[rmhasan]

anyone know the name of the zevon song playing in the background

[genuiN4PK]

@rmhasan keep me in youre heart for a while

[11ni22]

Lew.. The only guy from the show that deserves his own show.. Wouldn't that be something?

[beatthedevil56]

Hank Types on a IBM Selectric III. Awesome.

[angryfurniture]

yea season 2 was the greatest of the season because of lew. it was so full of laughter and joy. season 3 was great. But lew really made watching the episodes that much more enjoying.

[TheDreamMechanic]

Season 2 was primo with the Lew Ashby element. I want his house. That's a fucking party house.

[mondola]

Hank wears a Crue shirt!!!

[Hoofiehoofd]

Great scene!

[warcrouch]

god , why ddi they have to kill him off :( my favourite character besides hank

[arturro666]

this sucks, makes me cry

[MuayThaiViking]

im gonna miss lew.. doesnt seem fair that he only got 1/4 of the seasons! he basicly made season2 what it is. perfect character and perfect actor!

[Salsaman66]

for a fairly crazy show this one really hit , moved me. For being a fictional charactor I miss him...Max Random

[TobiasAKL]

Whiskey, Weed, and Warren Zeavon

Sounds nice :D

[jasescobar136]

yo i cant believe that shows like this cause emotion like they do, this to me has been the best scene of emotion that ive ever watched! they portrayed the best brotherly friendship ever! ive watched this scene about a million times juss because they show us something that has been lost in this generation! californication? the best show ive ever watched.! hank moody is the man!

[10forRP]

When he says "got one hell of a band"... what does he mean?

[Sendlgam]

@10forRP its from an old Righteouss Brothers song "Rock and Roll Heaven" -

If you believe in forever

Then life is just a one-night stand

If there's a rock and roll heaven

Well you know they've got a hell of a band

[Michalll666]

yeah, ashby was one of da best :)

[MLTSproductions]

Best moment in Californication... thanks for putting this up on here @Tryggis666 i cried like shit too lol

[Tryggis666]

Dude.. I cried like shit in this scene.

[Sendlgam]

"Remember at the end of the day - it's all about her..."

[boobman101]

We miss you Ashby. You were one of the great ones

[tubin86]

This is one of the best scenes ever in tv. Very nicely done...

[MrWombatPPC]

:-)

It was a Pleasure

[Mommix]

lew ashby - the best character :D he was so hilarious whole season

[Xander667]

perfection!

[jmahrell]

warren zevon - keep me in your heart

[heartworm666]

Anyone know what Zevon song this is?

I think I know...

[lluistrell]

you are stupid

[TheFallOFAvel]

the great ashby

[darkislandfilms]

miss you ashby :(

[serpensortia01]

This scene sums up the entire season 2...very powerful, full of emotions and lew ashby character was awesome

[rmvht]

I can't believe I actually shed tears during some of the scenes from the secodn season. I never thought I would like this show, but I love it. So sad the Lew Ashby character is gone though.

[TehxL33t]

Lew's Den Of Iniquity.

Best fucking show E V E R imo.

[ilovearelandj]

wasnt mia gonna leave the seriies after he died?

[YoungRasata]

She did.

[HOLYpinkGRASSHOPPER]

i almost cried when he died - the statue over his Grave was Freaken awesome lol

[darkislandfilms]

i want him back... he was so awesome :(

[tasha777]

one of the most loved and missed characters i have seen in a while.

[harriscmh]

Showtime really has some of the best shows I've ever seen. This scene is sad. Season 3 will be cool I think.

[swordguy31]

oneof the most powerful scenes ever

[Shumeshi]

of this series - yes, but really... It's ok.

[DDYLAN19]

Lew RoCKed this series and he will never be forgotten!!!

[profparadox]

I love the implication of Its true what they say you know, got one hell of a band

Thou it could lead to some debate.

[1wyco]

They suckered me in... Saw that they were talking on the previews.. So when this scene started i wasn't surprised.. The minute Lew said...You know it's true what they say... I started wailing..... It was like I was hit in the gut... These writers are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cin682]

For those of you hoping he wouldn't die, I suggest reading the Great Gatsby. Lew's entire sublot in season 2 was a retelling of it. I didn't realize it at first, but when Lew's girl is going away from Hank at one point, and Hank says "He throws these huge parties... but the guest of honor never shows" it became painfully obvious and I knew there'd be no happy ending for Lew :/

[MarcS4R]

RIP Lew...the best character on the series...

[Songsmirth]

I just hurt when I see this thing. I wish they would have kept Lew in. If nothing else to have a friend of Hanks.

[GHScards1]

I knew as soon as I heared "Keep Me In Your Heart" by Warren Zevon playing that Lew was gone because Zevon wrote this song as he was dying of cancer as a goodbye song to all his friends and family. RIP

[averydeadperson]

damn ashby was a great character in this season

[ProducerMattyB]

Yeh ashby was awesome :( he will be missed.

[dickkwikkwek]

Why did they have to kill him off? Asby was just too great!

[idz135]

I was hoping he didn't die either but that's usually the case with such characters.

[BurnElectric]

@dickkwikkwek Of course he was great, that's why they killed him, for effect 

[egosentriik]

@dickkwikkwek I know, I was like WTF, and yet I just knew, I just knew when he would have snorted that coke right before seeing the woman of his life he would OD. :(

[chuckrocks69]

@dickkwikkwek prob why they killed him off. He was so good and matched hanks wildness.

But its like the best things....always leave you wanting more. Awesome character

[swedish84]

@dickkwikkwek He was an amazing character, its gutting he had to die. But its a modern day retelling of the Great Gatsby so he was always going to.

[FredcatFan]

Loved the Lew character; this scene is very poignant.

[homi341]

whats the song

[FredcatFan]

Warren Zevon's "Keep Me in your Heart."

[tommygunse]

Great and sad! Very good seasonfinal!

[Rokarel1]

great scene
