Elfman's Clarinet Story

[pinky2305]

I used to play the clarinet! Now I know why I gravitated towards it XD Thanks for uploading :-)

[GrahamScottSmith]

Great words of wisdom for any composer for hire!

[wylon87]

He can still say the "F" word and sound like a classy gent ;D

[kurtinrod420]

So talented, intelligent, and funny. What more could a girl want

[Fab4Sunrises]

OH SWEET JESUS H TAP DANCING CHRIST.

DAT MIDDLE-AGED GINGER. *jizz in my pants*

[doggieyo]

Danny Elfman is God.

[SweeneyToddObsesser]

He...is...so...GORGEOUS!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ildgrubtrollet]

Gawd! I love Elfman :D

[dragancer]

whos the director?

[NekoChanSenpai]

LOL! Clarinets are evil!

[Keira13]

This is why Clarinets >everyone

[MattieCooper]

Elfman is Great!

[SOLE2SOUL]

The whole "don't talk music to me" thing comes off as quite arrogant. Makes me think of how ridiculous he looked on the covers of some of his pre "composer" records.

[TearsofaDragon13]

"my mother hitting me with a shoe"

randomness! you rock Danny!

[MagnaderAlpha]

Does anybody know who Danny was talking about regarding the the person afraid of the clarinet note?

[EvilTriplets]

nice goatee! lol!

[08maricuca]

Danny Elfman...is truly genious!!!!!!!

[Warnerama]

Gus is hot!!!

[johnnythunder123]

I play clarinet in college...and I learned a new note today, that when played right, in tune, it sounds like a friggin fire alarm. And Danny Elfman is my idol...he's the reason why I write music.

[golafs]

who´s that director, Bekmambetov ("wanted")?

[samreising]

Gus Van Sant ("Milk")

[golafs]

ok. thx ;)

[HonestBones]

I really like Danny Elfman... but what you just said was really gay.

[Kane2pointOh]

Danny is Dead Fuckin' Sexy!!!!! I love you Danny, take me away from this mundane existance, to a world where your music plays in the background forever!

[jek21]

@Kane2pointOh: ok...chill out

[MagnumStellarz]

@Kane2pointOh fuck yeah!

[wickedfeylady]

The clarinets will destroy us all!! LOL I love that man, I do!

[saytheremeg]

Danny Elfman is so awesome. I think one of the reasons why is because he doesn't try to be anything other than himself. He's just this brilliant, funny, well-spoken nerd, and I don't think he even realizes how amazing he is.

[narrowarrows]

the man that is speaking when the video starts is also in the elliott smith video "Strange Parallel". who is he? a music industry exec?

[midgetlike]

That's director Gus Van Sant.

[narrowarrows]

thanks, it makes so much sense now.

[jwallbanger]

firecrotch

[RCandHerps]

hey! i called danny a firecrotch!

[jwallbanger]

well he likes little girls and you like rc and herpes so there's plenty more burning crotch jokes to be made here and we can share.

[SwingKidTilTheEnd]

It's herps, not herpes, idiot.

[RCandHerps]

pssshhht yeah! lol

[SwingKidTilTheEnd]

Woo!!! :) lol, we rock!!! :D

[RCandHerps]

btw by firecrotch, i dont mean diseases

[jwallbanger]

duh. obviously my lame, third grade joke was far too complex for you.

[rosebudIII]

why is he so amazing?

[Bittersweet8806]

Meh. If you think the clarinet is the devil so be it. I personally used to play clarinet in high school and found this clip hilarious! Thank you for posting it.

[1cryptic5]

I do play clarinet in high school, but I agree. It does kinda remind you of this little mischievous devil spooking about...

^.^

[Keira13]

that's why we're usually doubled with the trumpets (melody wise)

For every hero, there is a villain.

Clarinetist ftw.

[mrpossibilities]

I used to believe in clarinets

[Boingoloid]

Being a retired flautist, I have a grudge against clarinets, myself. They just... makemethinkofthedevil.

[mrpossibilities]

I think you should read Kenny Werner's "Effortless Mastery". It might change your perspective. Give it a try, I highly recommend it.

[Chizpurfle52595]

oh my fucking god i love danny elfman so much!

[boingo4ever]

me two he's my hero!

[AlexandriaM]

Clarinets make me think of the devil.

[JohnnyDeppObssession]

That was hilarious! A shoe! That's why he likes Tim Burton, he doesn't use musical terms.

[boingo4ever]

tim burton does use instruments dumb ass like in beetlejuice at the opening theme there were clarinets

[JohnnyDeppObssession]

I never said he didn't use musical instruments, sheesh. I was agreeing with what Danny said. He likes working with Tim because he doesn't like using musical TERMS!! I never mentioned instruments, read things carefully before you open your mouth.

[fireunderground]

[ross2287]

"And I was more used to, like you know, 'Well, it's really good but that...that...that one note--in that one bar--makes me suddenly think of my mother hitting me with a shoe.'"

HAHAHAHA

[polindsay]

Makes me think of my mother hitting me with a shoe!

Good times.
