Bill Bailey - Emo (Glastonbury 2007)

[trumsolon]

KILL THEM KILL THEM KILL THEM KILL THEM WITH THE CROSSBOW

ROFL

[thehumourstopshere]

Not overly impressed that he's used Lying From You as the backdrop for this anti-Emo rant. It isn't an emo song, it doesn't even sound emo. The lyrics aren't all that clever, either, by usual Bill standards... just kinda recycled obvious digs at self-harmers. The one redeeming feature is the "I'll bleed on your panini" shouted line then "kill them with a crossbow". This is better than the DVD version but it's still sadly lacking in the usual Bill Bailey pizazz.

[Redheadfury]

@thehumourstopshere You missed the point :p

[Lonelyschizophrenic]

@thehumourstopshere I agree,bill baileys lyrics usually have a lot more susbtance!

[zeeslag123]

kill them with a crossbow! I love it!

[wayne110]

being an emo is just a phase mostly because emo's end up killing them selves chavs should get on the trend wagon

[YorkshirePunk02]

Some emos are cool. And anyway: it's just a phase.

[lh16]

i hope he stops usin linkin park for emo lol

[Alcapwned44]

killshot456, I BLEED ON YOUR PANINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kerry1King]

Hahaha this is great. Emo's are idiots anyway.

[EmoEwok666]

oi!!!,,,,wwere not alll like that.... not all of us cut oursleves ya know

[diamond1hammer]

He used quite a lot of that Linkin Park song.

[paynter4england]

i have no idea what the hell you just said.

but im sure it was dark and beautiful n all thattt

[thecurtainsonfire]

ROFL.

I love this man now.

[killshot456]

lying from you is my favorite song u dick

[paynter4england]

haha someone makes a joke and now it has to be

a) a stereotype you understand

b) make sure its slow and fast (cos not ALLLL emo songs are slow ;) )

c) dont confuse emo with something like goth. these two are very religious and MUST NOT BE MISJUDGED

d) make sure its not the mainstream perception.

e) still make it funny.

'basically what im saying' is

fuck off its just a joke init. :|

[poshjarry]

DoUcHe ! hahaha

your so wise your like a miniture budda!

[gumtreewallow]

that makes no sense

im not stup[id

im not having a little emo kid spam me for no reason

[YorkshirePunk02]

lmao

[sazmullium]

Grow up! I'm Dyslexic and there's nothing wrong with that, being dyslexic doesn't make me any less smarter then other people. So shut up you idiot.

[gumtreewallow]

It's called protecting my reputation

Anyway, I'm dyslexic too so it doesn't matter weather or not their too emo to realise that their wrong

[doyly909]

.......i hate to say it.... but thats so emo ;)

[Angealolo]

i like how he has changed "lying from you" by linkin park into this cause i hate linkin park and this is funny!!!

[edwinokli]

this doesnt make sence he's insulting a stereo type he doesn't understand... i mean common listen 2 emo or screamo music! its so fast and upbeat he was singing more of a ballard then he randomly put in some industrial metal! i mean common WTH thats more goth.

basically what im saying if ur gunna insult a stereotype don't use the FALSE mainstream perception created by no brains dumbarses that need a magazine to tell them what to look like!

[hotrodryan]

If he didnt play off the stereotype which is perceived by the public then it wouldn't be funny...

[cliftonkid]

As much as I disapprove of the misuse of one of my very favorite Linkin Park songs, bailey is a funny fucker :P

[seedsofrape666]

I BLEED ON YOUR PANINI

[KayosHybrid]

Yaaayyy Bill Bailey using Linkin Park! Wooooooo! <3

[Takac1979]

Kill them, kill them with the crossbow!

[ronburgundy3542]

[bendinggreenvans]

[bendinggreenvans]

[sarahbizarre]

[iNfx1]

[Boompass]

emo scum stereotype themselves, we merely point and laugh.

[spacelad]

You.

Get the fuck off the internet, RIGHT NOW.

[myheadhurtsalot]

HAHAHA

[ramonesxo]

Lmao, why are people getting into an arguement over emo's?! There was me thinking this was meant to be a comedy video to make me people laugh and happy... how silly of me!

[Fangthevampire]

XD Sounds like Linkin Park!

[tomank101]

it is i tihnk, in the background, which song is it i cant remember it!!

[tic0tac1]

Its "Lying From You" by linkin park :)

[punkprincess732]

I knew I recognized that from somewhere haha xD

[theegopunk]

Thats coz it is :P Its Lying from you sampled

[DJLordstar]

its not sampled its just the same Midi effect on his keyboard. So its pretty much a mock of it rather than a sample as its not directly from it

[danroxout]

lfctwentytwo

It's actually from Lying From You by Linkin Park, there's no Jay-Z involved in that sample ;)

[lfctwentytwo]

that is a sample from lying from you and dirt of your shoulier by jay-z

bill your class

[witchinghour666]

ha ha yeah FUCK EMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SootyCatCrazyCat]

SORRY BUT I DISAGREE..

well i shouldnt have to explain why i disagree, the fact by the name of the song goes by a massive a hnt!

Bill Bailey - Emo

[4beatlefans]

What has all this nonsense written below to do with the talents of BB? (I also wonder how many of these know-alls actually lived through the eras they are arguing about??)

My comment; Bill Bailey is brilliant!!

[Prospecter]

linkin park ftw x

[Lozzyleiiix]

some people could find that offensize actually..

[FrankyBabes]

Don't be silly, that's not even a word.

[paynexkillerAOTF]

LOL. That was awesome. Haha

[ChrisBeale2008]

whod cares its only a joke, nowadays everything is oh u cant say that and your another example the the small minded gits of society who consider everything u say offense i guantee if this song was wrote about chavs hanging on street corners no one would care

[FrankyBabes]

This is hardly an issue on which it is appropriate to take sides, you're setting yourself up for a class war. But I'd agree with the statement that too many people are taking offense at little things.

[ChrisBeale2008]

there already is a class war

[witchinghour666]

how

[ChrisBeale2008]

why dont u go complain about his cockeny impression aswell why ur at it ofcourse you wont because it dont concern you

[lfctwentytwo]

[DisturbedCreations01]

It's "Lying From You"

[davaca2]

It all sounds the same anyway.

[linkinparkrule06]

[IrvineMetal]

Actually punk appeared after teenagers decided to rebel on a large scale, goth was created because of vampires and gothic horror novels and emo is just the british term for american punk. The only exception to this is The Ramones.

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

BULLSHIT. Punk did not appear from teenagers rebelling en masse, otherwise what the fuck were skinheads up to? Look to the music man, the damned especially, it captured the spirit of the troubled times. Goth was a progression of punk not because of vampires and shit but of exponents of the style, Banshees, The Cure, all sorts contributed to what lets say Manson is today. As for emo it's not a term for american punk, it's from the progresson of the post hardcore scene to the MCR radio clusterfuck

[IrvineMetal]

Well skinheads appeared after WWII and punks simply started wearing Doc Martens. Thats the only connection with Punks and Skinheads. I should know my dad was a punk and told me about it. Bands like Enter Shikari, MSI and Blink 182 are often classed as emo but any american will tell you that they are Punk

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

That is fucking bullshit man, Skinheads came about in the 1970s in the Docklands after there was high unemployment, punks didn't wear the DMs, skinheads did! Plus you ask any american what punk is who KNOWS what real punk is they will say the Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, The Damned or The Ramones. Enter Shikari have nothing to do with punk, trust me they are more to do with emo, MSI are not punk and nor are Blink 182, they are variations of punk like pop-punk, in NOR WAY TRUE PUNK.

[ElochaiGyspy]

None of that shit is punk

Its electro influenced pop punk, or "hardcore" bollocks

[liamduzrocks]

electro induced pop punk?

you mean tranny music lol

[epsleon]

Punk is defined as a style of music that rebels against the mainstream.

Since the mainsteam is currently hip-hop/rap, all of the bands you've listed are technically punk :)

[Spelonker]

Shut the fuck up.

[sidhawk]

the concept of punk contributed to manson, which is to shock people with music.

emo is none of this current day MCR bullshit. You seem to have many of your facts straight but it makes a bit sad to know that you're still uneducated on true emotive hardcore.

Emo was an underground mid-80's punk scene. It was very hardcore, and it was basically hardcore punk with more passion in the lyrics. it's not famous, it's not mainstream and it died in the early 90's. they just slapped a label on new shit.

[chloeredick]

is it not the people who define the word? since the majority believe emos to be self absorbed attention seeking whiny bitches who scrape their hair like tom delonge does that not mean that is what emo means

[sidhawk]

no, it doesnt. as I just said, that new bullshit is not emo. I defined emo. REAL emo. And you pretty much asked me a question I just gave you an answer for.

[chloeredick]

But you can't choose whatthe word emo means to the world, you can certainly contribute but your just one man (or bitch if your an emo, im not entirely sure) either way its the collective opinion of the people that defines these contemporary words in society, its like choosing to say "chicken" but claiming it means hammock, its bloody stupid lad

[sidhawk]

I understand the philosophy of these ideas, but you're looking way too far into it, mate. A sound is defined by a genre, and those who share that type of sound are sorted into that genre for basically the purpose of attracting others. You like Rites of Spring? They're emo, so is Antioch Arrow, perhaps you will like Antioch Arrow, thus attracting a crowd.

People may try and define emo now based on what they see, but the thing is it was already defined. Now people are slapping a label on emptiness

[CyrusGuitar]

sidhawk's right, emo was around in the 80's, terrible music though. Seems like most modern crappy mainstream bands just rip off old music badly and try to use genres they dont belong to (numetal, RnB, punk, emo). honestly i wouldnt call MCR emo, i would call it submusical garbage.

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

Isn't it funny when anyone comes up and says "this bullshit isn't emo, Fugazi were", yet they don't care to mention that the word and label has clearly been redifned in recent years, so much so it is both used in musical genres and subcultures. True emo is a mid-80s music, but you cannot say that all that the mass of music fans now class as emo is not emo. Such a label is not a mistake, it is a redefinition. It depends if you want to believe people define it, or it defines people.

[SootyCatCrazyCat]

i dissagree, most emo music nowadays are new, non of your bull shit!

we have a good name of bands, but yhea, you can thik we dont like crap like linkin park but i like things like dido,and nell furtardo... and you its garbage..

LEARN WHAT AN EMO IS BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON STUFF!

[Shepthesheepdog]

If you are an emo and you find this offensive then you suffer from srs bzns syndrome and have had a severe sense of humor failure.

[bornfidelity]

Learn what an Emo is? Judging by this comment it would safe to say that an emo is someone who wants to be alternative yet tries desperately to fit in somewhere. Derr :p

[gertrude123]

Maybe your gayboy "punk" like greenday or some shit which are still... EMO.

Emo is emotional rock... it has nothing to do with punk...

Punk bands are things like rancid... Now tell me how are they related?

[ifidiebeforeiwake909]

Emo is a sub-genre of post punk..

[tomothy32]

emo occured because of goth , which occured because of punk, they are related its just that people dont realise it

[maxheadroom1987]

lets just say emo is shit and be done with it

[Robofish1]

heres the way i look at it, youre the only group of people who seem to always have to justify yourself...do you take offence? deal with it just get on with your way of life

[PuffyAmiYumi]

I'll tell you something, if you went up to someone who was a proper punk in the 70's, and said to them emo was a form of punk, you'd have your head ripped off mate.

Emo couldn't be farther from Punk. You can disagree until the cows come home, but it still won't be a fact.

[JODQ11]

emo was a brand of harcore punk in late 80s

early 90s that was commercialized in the 00s

nothing to do with 70s punk like the clahs and else

[PuffyAmiYumi]

Actually yeah. I thought people were making comparisons to today's emo with 70's punk. But then Punk had several sub-genres too didn't it? Like Anarcho and Crust. You definitely couldn't compare Emo with that kind of Punk that's for sure lol.

I might have liked earlier emo if it wasn't so tarnished with bratty teenagers.

[Wallij15]

Well Emo used to mean something else...todays "emos" are indeed nothing like the punk of the 70s but it meant something else way back when.

[PuffyAmiYumi]

Better music I'm sure ;)

I don't wanna get too involved in stating my opinions on emos, as I'm sure I'd get slated by them. All I will say is that if they think getting dumped is something to consider suicide over, man, are they in for a nasty shock about life.

Not that getting dumped isn't bad enough, but you know what I mean.

[Huw312]

Thats Lying from you at the start

[kinglynx]

yeh it is a lp sample ohh well he probs asked permission

[Spadlyspadlyspadly]

I spy Linkin Park sampling...will be good to be able to hear this properly when some HQ vids are about

[Jullible]

yeh i thouht it was linkin park when i saw it liv, but then, it was the chorus that was LP not the verse.

[TheJokeMonster]

Kill him kill him kill him with a crossbow!

[amosthree]

take that back

he is a comedy genius

[PJHoutman]

He's just quoting his favourite part from the performance :/

[Axuin]

Hes simply quotig what bill bailey said when he was whispering... he was saying 'kill him kill him kill him with a crossbow.'

[TheJokeMonster]

thanks Axuin. Obviously those lot are deaf, or just stupid

[katykatastrophy]

i dunno if someone has already said it

but i swear that background tune is linkin park....

[Kemish]

No its just a popular beat

[shinobiQ]

no, its linkin park...

[katykatastrophy]

it is, isn't it??

[nicksearle07]

yh it lying from you back beat,

still prefer lying from you to bill baileys version :P=]

[rugshort]

Fugazi = Emo?

[Thewonkandfriends]

Whatever happened too good emo?Like Fugazi or Jimmy eat world?It was a nice little division of Post-Hardcore Punk(Big Black Rule!) until Green Day came along and royally fucked it up with "Boulevard of broken dreams".Damn Pop-Emo to the base of its whining soul!

[kwackajak]

this guy is wasted on you muppets

just calm down and absorb some cultural influences and get some perspective

[HATTORI82]

shut the hell up you pair of girls, who cares???! i watched this live it was ace especially the star wars variation.

[fatalrob0t]

actually, I really like Linkin Park and they're very appropriate when I want angry music to write or draw to. :3 So this is instawin.

[Asphalthabitat]

wohey legend, linkin park aswell!

[monkeylovers]

i wonder if he likes lp tht wuld b quiet phat if he did lmao

[swifty64]

Bill is a fan of rock music, i wonder if he is a fan of Linkin Park seen as he used a lot of "Lying From You" in this song

[lgeoghegan]

he uses samples to get his point across, not because he likes them

thats like using a lamb of god sample when taking the piss out of techno music

think about it, dumbass

[swifty64]

You think about it dumbass! He is a fan of rock music so why not use a sample of music he may actually like?! He likes Marilyn Manson and has sampled him before so no reason at all why he might not like Linkin park, dickhead!

[lgeoghegan]

because he samples it to show the song!

not because he wants to show the music he likes

you need to learn the joys of thinking LOGICALLY

[swifty64]

prove to me he dislikes Linkin Park and i'll admit i was wrong, until then, no way

[lgeoghegan]

lol

you're such a fucking dumbass

well for a start he always talks about musical influences in his shows, and he's never mentioned linkin park

also, even If I did find a list of the music he likes, you may just say that he forgot to put linkin park down

it's easier for you just to accept your failure right now, lol

if I wanted to go on stage and take the piss out of music and started playing samples from an artist I like, am I not in fact taking the piss out of myself?

[SPIKEMIFOTTA]

bad idea ..... but .. Linkin Park Rulez !!

[DrRythm]

I SAW THIS IN NOTTINGHAM YAY!!!

[smakamura]

Ha Ha. Emos a minority? Had a look at the pop charts lately?

[rockstix]

emos are a major minority unless your 12

[Briandadrummer]

Thank fuck, just imagine if the majority could vote. We'd all turn into faggots and listen to music a dog wouldnt even wipe his dick off

[lamnaa]

People decide to be to be emo. It happened to me. I was depressed and thought I could listen to American idiot or Canadian idiot. I chose happiness, laughter and sunlight.

[rockstix]

lol green day isnt emo you fucking twat

[omnishruk]

emos arent some subspecies you know: and its not their fault they're introverted and emotionally deep: - in fact they're better people than you 'ronnysoeberg', you compassionless twat.

[And2001PT]

Emos are actually superficial and shallow.

It's just a trend.

Everyone feels, it's ridiculous how Emos hold themselves on a pedestal for it.

[renjisXmineXbackXoff]

well said! Everyone has problems, emos just like to yell about them to other people.

[rockstix]

emo is just an excuse for teens who dont get there own way

[DearMrs]

Sub cultures in general suck to be honest, theres too many of them these days. But yes, emos especially suck in a major way.
