Just kidding ^^

[camrocksat11]

Freakin' Awesome

[SebastianLaw3283]

I know you use windows to edit your vid but I'm kinda not too into the whole editing thing. How do you make the video kinda jumpy and stay in time with the music. The kind of thing you did on two point oh. Either that, or do you know of anywhere online that teaches how to edit you vid and stuff. any help is much appreciated.:-D Thanks, cause I'm gonna start posting more interesting stuff as I only have 4 vids just now and they're kinda boring. Go have a look and let me know:-D

[johnnyonline]

ok. well the 'jumpy' looking video is basically the video being sped up to double speed. the beastie boys use this technique in their clips all the time. to keep that in time to the music, you mime along to the track being played back at HALF speed. have fun.. or should i say, halve fun. lol

[FenderPlayer99]

little line stolen from Cake eh?

[johnnyonline]

it was a tip of the hat to cake my friend, as was the other verse a nod to grandmaster flash :)

[dvdk456]

i bleeve he gives credit...not in the song of course, but subliminaly....

[thenotsowhitemeat]

good song anyway i can download it to my ipod

[bleed0range]

Did I ever comment on this vid? Very very good song. I like the way your voice sounds in this one a lot.

[koover07]

gotta give cake their props lol... although they say he's and you say i'm... their song was about johnny?? hmmm...

nah.. couldn't have been lol very nice john, i'm impressed

[jjdpeople]

Sounds very influenced by Rush.

[sistobum]

Obviously you don't listen to very much Rush.

[johnnyonline]

well i've never listened to rush.. lol

[matts417]

lol I listened to this song allot so far.. haha I love this song man. Thanks (to tell you the truth I had I woke up singing it hahaha___Verry catchey song =)

[rebirthflames]

I really like your original songs!! They're very creative!

[gerardo0186]

hey johnny this song is brilliant a new favorite. keep them coming. love the "love two point oh" too.

[onelastks928]

You make me happy. I love this song.. one of my new favs!

[rumblechick]

actually, I change my mind, its a bit of alrite!!

[rumblechick]

sadly, not my fav, the chorus isnt particularly suited to your voice, but hey, I'll get over it, AND I wont unsubscribe either :)

[CaptainCurls]

Mmmmmm nice one :)

Love the watch too!

[zephyr84]

might be my fave song of yours so far!

[lethalkungfu]

very awesome! i also liked your 'in my car' song as well, maybe you could have like a theme going so you can make a kick ass driving cd

[johnnyonline]

i guess driving often pops up as a theme because i spend so much time in my damn car, a few hours every day! plus it's my only real alone time.. so it's not uncommon for a few ideas to come to me on the road.

[guitarmunkey47]

howd you swing the vid...it looks sped up....but its in sync with the song...cool.

[johnnyonline]

the sync track was half speed...

[guitarmunkey47]

oooooh....makes sense now. good shit too, my english comrade.

[guiTboneslimjim]

Still rocks.

[chaoscausingleo]

*applause in the applesauce*

Love it Johnny.. Keep up the great tunes... and keep having fun...

[matts417]

hey do you have myspace? lol i wanna add you.. cus u are cool like that..

[GibsFrozen]

"on this track it was a set of remo pinstripes on the toms.. and a coated emperor on the snare"

THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE HEADS!

(but, the pinstripe head is clear ou coated?)

[paleolithicera]

Like the cake reference.

[elykoko]

i like :)

where can i get the audio ?

this is one gread songggggggg!

lol whats up with the watch ?

and next time.. i think youd look better with no glasses.. im not sure.. but im guessing

[johnnyonline]

what's wrong with my watch? haha..

and i've had glasses for 20 years, i'm not john without em.. sorry.

[elykoko]

dont worry! your still gangsta with them :D, im not saying you look bad or anything LOL.. maybe just a new thing ?

=D

[isparalite]

Make tabs/scores. I'm too lazy right now to use my ears. :X

Where are my manners? Here we go:

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[MERCURY990]

cake lyrics huh :)

[glennjridge]

now THIS is the kind of song I love to hear you do. I LOVE these sort of quirky rockish songs like this and love 2.0 rather than the acounstic foksy other kinds.

was the vocal doubletracked during the "no matter how much farther" parts? I love doubletracked vocals. they shine.

[laumeux]

I love it! On a side note, your voice has a little resemblance to Getty Lee. :P

[MCycle07]

just out of curiosity, would you want a record deal if a company tried to sign you?

[johnnyonline]

dunno.. maybe? i kinda like doing it all myself.. then when i pay for my studio time out of my own pocket.. and design my own CDs.. then sell them online.. i've only got myself to blame for any cock-ups. bwahaha

[matts417]

dang u are pretty good.. I knew this before, but damn this is good.. ME LIKIE.. maby some big reccord company will see this and make u a big rockstar or something.. just like the love 2.ooh.

[NowhereWarm]

quoting cake now are we?

[johnnyonline]

and grand master flash!

[JohnMayer07]

Warning. Making music videos is not a recommended driving activity. :-P

[Prafeston]

Loved the song! Sounds like it was straight out of the nineties. Loved the funky mixing and stuff. Cool lyrics too.

[SmOkM]

thanks for putting the time in to entertain me all over again , great ideas within your songs, keep them coming.

thanks again

[GibsFrozen]

man, what kinda of heads and cymbals you use on drums?

thnx.

[johnnyonline]

on this track it was a set of remo pinstripes on the toms.. and a coated emperor on the snare. i used one 18" zildjian A medium-thin crash and 14 New Beat hats... and that's it.

[30drummer]

holy shits how the hell do u make such good rhythms and melodies and the lyrics rhythms are so sweet! WTF! GO RECORD IN A REAL STUDIIO!

[TKaarel]

Johnny... is this the song you meant by as 'my new project'?

Honestly, I think this was not good...a bit under your (great) standards. It was good but then again - I believe you could do better still.

However, I guess I should tell you that the sound quality was just perfect and you've got some effects going on which is great!

Keep rockin' on! I didn't like the video, though...probably because a mike and a car don't exactly match, but yea...already waiting for more great songs from you;)

[johnnyonline]

cheers, i guess you can't please everyone all of the time :)

[Odiosus90]

Nice watch!

[MBRHIndustries]

That was pretty cool, I'm probably going to have it stuck in my head for a bit.

[altezzza]

Wonderful as always :)

[jonolid]

bet you got some looks on the road ha, excellent tune man, high 5

[milkmit]

nice nods to...gosh, is that cake and grandmaster flash? if there's more than just those two, they've escaped me. good job. :)

[chaindemon]

AWESOME DUDE!! 5 stars. you rock

[AngelicKarma]

I'm so sad that I answered without realizing that someone already answered.

so sad.

[emilyann802]

You friggin' RULE!

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

=D

[MCycle07]

it's really grown are me, best editing and effects of any of your music by far but i don't know if it's my favotire

[imthehuman]

Actually, can you give be tabs for this or something?

I'm no good at figuring out that stuff for myself.

But yea, that'd be awesome. =]

[bleed0range]

If you keep getting better and better at writing songs... your gonna get famous. And then I'm going to need you to remember me once you get there, lol.

I gotta hand it to ya, I'm pretty impressed. Especially with the effects. I love the way it ended. And the video you made happens to be very entertaining too. I mean, I loved the way you edited it and everything.

I think this may be one of your top 3 best videos you've put on here. It's hard to pick since you've put up so many, lol.

[jb33cool]

You are amazing. You have yet to make one song that I don't like. This one is so catchy and great

[camaxell]
