Bon Iver On The Beach

[KfourD3]

what song is this? :) i think its pretty good

[djsexybaconify]

@KfourD3 Flume -Bon Iver

[mrRedorchard]

i don't get why everyone is disliking this? i thought it was funny..

[deanmeehan]

funny! I was pissing myself laughing!

[ursuchapyt]

yaaaa, i'm pretty sure i just fell in love. you are adorable.

[Sheltah]

@ursuchapyt : I think it's cool. Reminds of drunken mornings on the beaches of Vincentia back in the 80s, although our guitar playing was bad cos it genuinely was! What is this song then?

[ursuchapyt]

@Sheltah it's called flume by bon iver. beautiful song. really, anything by bon iver is worth looking into. i highly recommend :)

[Sheltah]

@ursuchapyt Thanks for that. I'll have a listen to some..

[LordChamberlainsMen]

you're way too canadian

[TheNinjaFishe]

So...how bout them giants?

[ptb1118]

Hey guys! Look at all these people below with no sense of humour ... hahahaa they don't get it.... aw, how sweet.

[jussymucky]

bell end

[winterrstreet]

if you weren't a total fuckwit, this might actually be vaguely good. and if the vocals were better.

[ChingstahJJ]

what the f-? 60000 views for this video now i honestly believe i can become an effing youtube super sensation

[Sheltah]

I got one question, dude. Are you actually singing words?

[ursuchapyt]

@Sheltah if you've ever heard the actual song, it's very hard to understand the words. and even when you decipher them, they make no sense. not that i'm dissing bon iver, in any way shape or form. i <3 him

[LeaveMyOut]

weed

[taykoz]

this is one of the first things to make me smile in two weeks. thank you, I love you.

[CosiSky]

hey folks, get over it. not all jokes are insults. i love bon iver just as much as the rest of you. when all in good fun, anything can be comical. loosen up, kids.

[tdt1993]

is this video some kind of sick joke?

[keanbean]

vote this video up!

[Ruben00021]

This guy looks like he had alot more then just one beer ...

[ColeforPresident]

I never take offense to anything but this is insulting as a big fan of Bon Iver. This is two minutes and eighteen seconds of pure mockery of one of the most moving albums ever made.

[124638c]

stupid



[whoarethebrainpigs]

gee,, ya definately got ya share of that free beer ,,,

[gammacygniful]

hahahaha. Chris, you are extremely hilarious. i so enjoy your face in this video! bahahahahahaha. xo

[SaJicse719]

haha awesome!

[albuyno]

I'm a big Bon Iver fan, and I think this is pretty awesome!

[PigCheez088]

play that thing like a banjo (not saying you can't strum a banjo), but it isn't your uncle's old dreadnought

[nicolackearns]

love this.... its sooooooooo good :)

[subterreanhighrise]

EPIC! :D

this is sooo funny great effort!

[MrAlienz]

WANNA BUY SOME COCAAAIIIINNEE!!!?

[solidheir]

i FIND this most uninspired and rather irritating. But it seems to make people happy. So you win.

[skylightrazors]

PLEASE GOD!!! do another video of this. just with more seriousness? please?...

[lemorford]

Way to shine the light out there man!

[redrooster280zxt]

I think you should make a video of you playing this song when your not drunk !

[LiLJohnster7000]

thats his most touching song. you do it well



[haleythehubert]

Elloell. I like you.

[redrooster280zxt]

This is so funny hahahaha.

[123jsbach]

[Annyv16]

[subterreanhighrise]

pretty awesome :)

[redrooster280zxt]

[JoeyThePeasant]

Good.

[thefishinthesky]

[steph19892010]

[cjbslippers3]

[jmcewan08]

1:37-1:45 was funny shit. It actually sounds good too man, nice work.

[JesseRBakerMusic]

haha funny but seriously, F**K ME! haha

[nicklerew]

Oh no. Just no.  No.

[bunzigga]

haha, this is great!

[ennayak113]

now i want a banjo.

[GuitarForAC]

what song is this i really fuckin love it!

[ShaunV91]

I'm a huge Bon Iver fan and thought this was hilarious. : ) Signed in just to like it. Don't know why your getting so much hate.

[PinkSlipperShorts]

i thought you should know, i watched this, and now im buying a banjo

[chialikeitgrows]

crazy eyes!

[mireillebakx1]

if this wasn't funny meant this could be actually pretty good...........

[linnmo1]

Not since "Harold and Maude" have I been so entertained by a banjo player..Bravo

[Sheltah]

@linnmo1 : At fucking long last!!!!!!! Someone other than me knows of Harold and Maude!!! There has to be more of us!!!!

[elksbb18]

Hilarious, and I love Bon Iver.

[AngieCapretti]

Smiles for me. thanks :]

[monkeyboymonkeyboy50]

Quite a lot of hate for this but I think its hilarious!!

[ElliszzX]

hahaha awesome! <3

[Genedancingmachine]

I'm Black and this is hilarious!

[dwhollrah]

Ahahaha! love it, This guy was looking right at me. All the stuff we wish we could do when we sing sober!

[WaylayShinSplints]

I have never laughed so much listening to a bon iver song.

[Kazishairslikesoradd]

this place is beautiful, where is it?

[egaeca1]

This cracks me up. You gotta know its your eye contact a sneaky grins that really make it so dang funny. Hoping for more like it.

[GeorgeArthas]

I love this because it's not really a serious attempt at covering it, which makes it alright that it's not like the original ;)

[LiittleSunshiine04]

which kind of banjo do you have ? Im planning to buy one and I dont really know how to choose

[postonthehill]

@LiittleSunshiine04 In this video I'm using a pretty cheap Gold Tone banjo, it works just fine though. I don't have a lot of advice to offer other than get what you can afford. You really can make anything sound good.

[LiittleSunshiine04]

@postonthehill finally im gonna have a goldtone CC-50RP, i know it is not the best one, but i can afford it so im gonna start with it! :)

[postonthehill]

@LiittleSunshiine04 Make it sing, friend! Send your songs my way if you post any, enjoy!

[krimskrams]

@LiittleSunshiine04

i'd save up a bit and get started on a deering goodtime, a great beginner banjo. or try a recording king if you want a good quality banjo for the money

[LiittleSunshiine04]

@krimskrams I've already bought a goldtone cc 50 rp and I like it, but im not a musician, ive never played any instrument before.

[krimskrams]

@LiittleSunshiine04 it's a matter of efficieny. i'm not particular about deering banjos, but as far as beginners go i find the goodtime model to be one of the best ones for their money. combine that with effective use time and resouces you will make faster progress because these banjos are very playable, the neck feels comfortable and it won't get out of tune as fast as other cheap instruments and they sound a bit better ;)

[woodchuckmool]

great. i listenened to this and then went and bought every one of bonne rivers cd's!! does that mean i cannoot love this? hoot hoot. you rock. dude. i watch this every morning when i get up which is really nighttime accomtimpanyment to coffee and it makes my dia. gracias a la vida!! HOmbre con la Boina

[GrowOrPayG]

I do not get the hate, it says in the description that he had free beer, and the he is looking kind of drunk... who says it's a parodi, isn't it just a fun video with a man playing a random song?

[MrFlowDangles]

The sad part is there's some talent behind that banjo. If this guy took the song a bit more serious he may be able to pull off something many of you wouldn't expect.

[bainzeyboy]

wouldn't of been a bad cover really if you weren't acting like a bellend.

[ModernGentlemanMP]

Not cool, man.

[woodchuckmool]

1:38-1:44 is huge!!!!! do you have any others? other artists? nice smile!!

[cocomazing527]

Hahaha this is so funny, coming from a a die hard Bon Iver fan

[malbrough3]

ahahaha that's just aweful

[oneiroscopist]

Hey, what camera are you using? It's gorgeous.

[postonthehill]

@oneiroscopist It's the Canon t2i . Love that camera, recommend it wholeheartedly! Enjoy :)

[oneiroscopist]

@postonthehill Nice! I've been renting out the Canon t3i. Beautiful stuff. Thanks!

[sturm478]

lol



[collystrings11]

TEARS IN MY EYES. This is too hilarious.

[paintlickersgraffiti]

I do love bon iver and hate people covering his songs because there generally shit at it, but you made me happy and i actually enjoyed this quite a lot.....would love to be there having as much fun as you.

[bLackmarketRadio]

This is the coolest guy in the world.

[crschreib]

what tuning is this?? even though its a parody...i play banjo, id love to play this..

[postonthehill]

@crschreib Heyo crschreib! I'm just in standard Open G tuning. DGBD. The chords I'm playing are just C and Eminor for the verses. And then F and C in the chorus. Enjoy! Careful posting it on here though, Bon Iver fans are vicious! :)

[crschreib]

@postonthehill hey thanks! yeah all these people hating on you...its whatever! i laughed lol

[kiao1208]

God, people get so butthurt on youtube. This is obviously just drunken fun, he's not making fun haha. I enjoyed this ahah.

[woodchuckmool]

am i allowed to post one more time? bleedin' fantastic!! thank you

[woodchuckmool]

bloomin brilliant . . .

[woodchuckmool]

omg. this is great.

[hollyhillman11]

well done - you made me laugh! Music is Alive Folks - get over it.

[Jackcreambun]

You really should upload a non-goofy version. I'm honestly curious to see you cover this and maybe other songs. You definitely have talent.

[mar5halljeffrey]

decent. to bad your a dick

[FRES559]

awesome camera though :)

[jajajavih]

SAY NO TO DRUGS

[mar5halljeffrey]

@jajajavih haha. YES

[Hugothedirector]

The fact that you burp and don't know the real chords don't make you look so smart.

[samstopndgo69ner]

hahaha i actually appreciate this, chill out everyone its quite funny.

Everyone knows that Justin Vernon is Jesus...and not just because of his magnificent beard....

[andrewchapple]

Dick head

[Kasperon]

why did u bother overdubbing da banjo douche,., still shit

[helenarabymusic]

God damn, this video would have been beautiful if you took the song seriously. Your voice is nice, and I love the idea you're playing banjo. Nice camera, and such a lovely beach!

[philippe7272]

great versi8on



[trumetyu]

its not a parody.. read his reply dumbshits.. i love goofin around to bon iver songs as well

[princessofleon]

Stop complaining about this guy! He's having fun on a beach. Its not and shouldnt be offensive to BonIver so similarly, others shouldnt be getting wound up! Im sure if he was to do a serious cover it would be great. Life is too short to be so serious all the time...and writing miserable comments on youtube videos. Lighten up people!

[evilthesaurus]

go fuck your banjo. you know you want to.

[Millsy86]

You're not only shaming the God that is Bon Iver, but also the God that is Ryan Gosling!!!

[Millsy86]

That is getting you no where in life.

[ilovethiscitytonight]

Congratulations, you've just totally embarrassed yourself.

[aniqai]

i'm a huge bon iver fan. but this is so funny.

[orangesummer2]

oh my god. this is hilarious! i was laughing the whole time. props to you man.

[knoxrox167]

jesus christ guys he's just having fun

[sd12swizzleg]

what a waste of time and talent

[brunklegregteachkids]

sounds like a belly full...

[beninatorskater]

i hope you get a care package dropped on you

[tanekaio]

fuck you.

[No1WaveRider]

lovely setting there

[TheBastian23]

47 people have no sense of humor!!!

[sgarbe84]

I just laugh. And this is very good. I set the video as good!

[georgethearab]

what camera was used for this? looks sweet!

[jakem4444]

you must have been bored as hell to want to butcher such a good song

[MaximumProductionz]

Haha I actually found this pretty amusing :D

[Steve5095]

@JoinTheFast You are speaking some sense my boy, I killed myself laughing at this and I love Bon Iver!!

[xlstrahlss]

Neat. Nobody cares about your shitty cover of a beautiful song by an extremely talented man. You are just idiotic.

[p0lkad0ts23]

wow. and i mean that in the worst way possible.

[benh9174]

If you're gonna take the piss, at least learn to play it properly.

[rydeeh11]

i think you have a good voice. you should make a new cover without alcohol! :D

[elksbb18]

I am a huge fan of Bon Iver bro and I laughed pretty hard. I didnt think you were being disrespectful and I think anyone who has been in the same situation understands where you are coming from. When you started mumbling the 2nd verse I lost it....well done.

[KyanaLili]

I really like this!!!! It's not even a parody or making fun of Bon Iver.... Love the banjo, and this was just SO FUNNY!! I wish everyone could do something that is nice, funny and not completely taking the shit out of someone!!!!

[M3Monica]

Sad thing is you could probably make a really good cover of this song. You're voice is really nice aside from making fun of such a beautiful song.

[postonthehill]

@M3Monica Hey Monica, I appreciate that. I'm by no means making fun of the song, it's a gorgeous song. I had had a few drinks and was playing the fool to make friends behind the camera chuckle. But thanks nonetheless, maybe I'll do a non-goofy version sometime!

[hulagirl93]

@postonthehill Yeah bud you need to go back to the beach and do this again properly.

[LiittleSunshiine04]

@postonthehill you really should make a non goofy version!

[georginascatchard]

there are just some artists you just shouldnt make parodies of. douchbag.

[Dorchester155]

@georginascatchard you need to calm down man, i don't think he was parodying the song. he clearly was a little drunk and was having a good night. the beach looks beautiful and the banjo sounds dope, i bet JV would appreciate post on the hill's rendition.

[JohnZackarias]

@georginascatchard That's bullshit.

Every artist should be able to make fun of without some butthurt child whiteknighting them. I'm a big fan of Bon Iver, but Justin isn't God. Seriously.

[georginascatchard]

@JohnZackarias Oh yeah and everyone's entitled to their own opinions whether right or wrong. Free will and all that. Child? Calm. Down.

[JohnZackarias]

@georginascatchard If everyone is entitled to their own opinion, by the same logic shouldn't every artist be the subject of parody and humor?

[monsterfreesocash]

I want to hurt you.

[heynotebook]

I do like it. seriously

[sinton09]

hahahaaa this is hilarious!!!  his eyes haa

[jilixii]

at first i hated him but by the end i was laughing. whatever, it's funny even if you like bon iver.

[ethan533]

hes ovisously drunk dumb shits i mean the man got free beers then got excited and played his banjo on the beach

[ethan533]

hes ovisously drunk dumb shits

[calmcyco]

this could have been great

[willow96000]

i so badly want to shove that banjo up your fucking arse , stupid prick

[fhdfba007]

fuck you man. you should be set on fire

[MrSusanAndHisMirrors]

i kinda wanna disembowel you

[Carverann]

You know, this is pretty good considering. The Banjo is kick ass along with the scenery. Don't watch the video and you'll become impressed. He's certainly a character but a character none the less.

[tommyvrocks]

i think if you put some effort into your singing, you'd be pretty good mannn.

[ehyulliss]

oh my god I think I love you.

[atreides6]

You look like a lunatic.

[SEimagery]

i want to punch you in the face

[rileywebb9]

@SEimagery Ok, or maybe instead you could try to, oh I dont know, lighten up? I mean, I know most of Bon Ivers music is serious, but that doesn't mean you always have to be too!

[fufuberryisgood1]

@rileywebb9 bitch

[NOTjaime]

pretty accurate!

[StephenTMorgan]

This guy is the bomb.
