[MrJazzblue]

sick man, legit dude!

[apparidown]

Hey guys....you're making my laugh! What about the music.....and the message! Life's not about "what's better than"....Bob Marley, Johnny Cash, John Butler....they're all great!

[mortenpagan]

thumbs up if you like my tattoo lol peace all

[piepiemushroom]

oh spliff off you twat

[aviad4]

he is a genius!!

[Blubellfield]

what a song !

[piepiemushroom]

its not bashing dude its stating the obvious, and i will bet you have dreadlocks and yer white . point is the melody is stolen not influenced? the looks stolen not influenced i lived in oz its full of butler clones???? go and grow a veggy patch or get a mans haircut drink scotch and put on johhny cash

[smashyourface1n]

@piepiemushroom if i had to choose to listen to johnny cash or grow a veggy patch. i'd be a mutha fuckin farmer. johnny cash really? thats your anchor, johnny cash? hahaha. your gonna argue about molody? when johnny cash is the most monotone preformer ever. ok hillbilly just cuz you got the dot com now. dont mean we give a fuck about your opinion.

[piepiemushroom]

@smashyourface1n or me yours ! bahahahahahahaa i bet you got dreadlocks and a rainbow tshirt bahahahahaha!!!!!!

[smashyourface1n]

@piepiemushroom ok your an idiot, thank you for helping me prove my point. "or me yours" what the fuck are you talking about??? is that some sort of hillbilly insult? and no i dont have dreadlocks you fucking tool. if you really care i shave my head. if your beloved johnny cash is sooo original, why did he butcher rusty cage by soundgarden? and hurt by NIN? he made money off other musicians music. so don't give me that shit about john butler stealing melodys you fucking dildoe

[piepiemushroom]

@smashyourface1n  you bibllybob!!! have a wank and breath in breath out realaxxxx

[smashyourface1n]

@piepiemushroom you're telling me to relax? that's one of the reasons why i listen to john butler... and then i find morons like you babbling bullshit like we give a fuck. the world would be better off without people like you.

[piepiemushroom]

@smashyourface1n aarhhh never mind your gonna b okay dont listen too the big bad me?  listen to bob marley !!!!!!!! kaya man

[smashyourface1n]

@piepiemushroom like i said... you're an idiot...

[piepiemushroom]

@smashyourface1n bahahahahahaha

[karkrashful]

yep, this is definitely hipster enough for me :)

[willywacker27496]

@karkrashful

How is this hipster?

[ReisenderFurz]

thing of this: You on a straight road besides of you the ocean, and hear this music! amazing!

[nf11lax]

This song is absolutely amazing... john butler is an unreal musician who deserves everyones respect even if your not into this kind of music

[TheYoungFisher96]

And what the fuck are you some person who sits on a damn computer all day and bash's people about the way they talk, or look? Your not one to talk buddy, im convinced your just jealous of him..

[piepiemushroom]

point is ? he aint different? thats the fookin point? sure hes good very good i have even seen him live. point i am making is white guy dreadlocks rasta slang in lyrics its unnessasary? he aint from trenchtown jaimaca but he acts and speaks as if he grew up in bob marleys house? come on its a point of view?i have words to describe what i just said the music beat is a straight reggae steal! he aint from jaimaica? he from aus?

[willywacker27496]

@piepiemushroom

Music isn't about where you're from or how you grew up, they just sort of shape your musical interests. Just because he's white and australian doesn't mean he can't make reggae music. He makes that kind of music because that's the music he love's and he makes very damn good music, and that's an understatement. As for the way he looks and acts, that's because music shapes the way you live. Don't bash on people because of their love for music.

[Roll0T0masi]

Hey friends, music is supposed to be the language of life. Reggae was adapted from other styles as was most every type of music. It's to be enjoyed. So what if those performing it don't look like you want 'em to! Where they're from, the clothes they wear, the hairstyles aren't important if the music touches you. Where their inspiration comes from is only important to the creator of the music. It's one place where talent and one's gifts make the statement, there is no book of rules. Enjoy!

[TheGrannatta]

Он истинный музыкант, He excellent musican

[piepiemushroom]

dude looks like a lady? he fuckin loves himself with that necklace ? man up

[Picky2106]

@piepiemushroom i have no words to express how i feel about what you just said..

how dare you disrespect such a talented, awesome guitarist.. he has dreadlocks and a necklace.. so what is your point? he is different.. he is unique.. unlike the shit on the radio today..

[iGeeeked]

Nothing can be Better Than John Butler Trio.

[bydrvd]

love it love it love it!!!

[willywacker27496]

Even though it goes against the moral's of the song, this song is better than every other song in the world.

[brannon67]

JB makes the banjo cool to play again. AWESOME!

[ShenayHudaverdi]

cutest hair haha

[sillyearthling]

banjo's get you laid - period

[qiminafix]

@MegLClarke Hi there do you think you could send them to me please. I'm a banjo player and would love to perform this. Many thanks!!

[LloydChristmas6]

Heath Ledger on drums?

[BLUEOVAL1992]

these guys are skank wizards

[qiminafix]

@MegLClarke please can you send them to me. Thankyoun

[thedrugswiththehugs]

6 people are deaf.

[neilss1]

@thedrugswiththehugs ahahah true!!! true!!



[Sidareth]

@thedrugswiththehugs Then they are stupid too cause you cant judge about something you havent heard.

[Fack153]

muy bueno!!! saludos desde PERU!! maestros!!



[harlyops]

6 people think that life about whats better

and 226 people know what lifes really about

[arthurmage]

yeah this formation was the better one

[iShraPnal]

Gosh the bassist reminds me so much of Adam Tudyk lol

[Turkelparkelton]

@iShraPnal SO true.

[zebrakackefreak]

aussie music rules :D

[GUITARJEREMY1]

I heard this drummer is being replaced! John are you nuts? He's golden!

[ChronicallyConfused]

@GUITARJEREMY1 Nicky Bomba is his drummer now, though he was the replacement at least a year ago. Oh the bassist is different too

[janetisnermal1]

I Love this man's music, so does my 9 year old. You have encouraged him to write his own music. Bless. Thanks JBT for the music and joy.

[perro123q]

@janetisnermal1 Awesome comment =) jbt just make me smile too ha

[SkubaSteveDamnYou]

There's always going to be someone who doesn't like a song. Why judge them? Its a waste. Just enjoy the song.

[92jonjon]

200 people agreed his music is cool to listen to when high.

[amarika222]

6 dislikes? Just 'cause he has his hair in a bun?! C'mon people! Beautiful man, beautiful music.

[perro123q]

@amarika222 hahaha xD 

[kimmuro]

They look content, happy. I love listening to their songs.

[florasita]

I love this song but hey does that bass player feel left out cause he dosen't have a bun ☺

[snappyguy928]

Listen to this everyday, no joke. Still not tired of it after many months.

[Scarecrowman27]

Gotta love the variety these guys show. He can play basically anything with strings. The bassist plays the regular bass and that jawn lol. And the drummer anything from drums, to bongo, to mallets. I'm not a huge music guy (meaning like I don't know all the different kinds of instruments and classes and all that, but huge fan of music lol) but I guess it's Percussion he's a master of everything percussion. And the others master at their crafts. Not 1 DEMENTIONAL like basically every other band

[Scarecrowman27]

What is this Saturday night Live or somethin?

[blazer2623]

it was actually the tonight show with jay leno. I know that because i saw the show and i liked the song so much that I looked them up and they had alot of good songs.

[amyquinn86]

i LOVE listening to singers that sound exactly the same as their c.d....u dont see it often! Keep up the fab work jbt, love u all!

[ShenayHudaverdi]

he is the one of 10 things that make me happy

[RNSP1]

yeeehaaaawww

[siggy10]

Wasn't a huge fan of John Butler Trio until this song, absolutely love it.

[carleyrocks1]

I LOVE JOHNS HAIR TIED BACK

VERY CUTE

[muttr]

@carleyrocks1 Then you must love my nutsack on your chin

[DEE86K]

@carleyrocks1 agreed!

[KAPhotography1]

You're so on the right track... Keep up the good work Bro

[w5m1n]

saw them last friday with state radio, it was epic

[arjrocks]

john butler is sick but in this video you cant deny he looks like hes packing fudge

[RLR1030]

It doesn't matter what song they sing, they always make my day 110% better! I love them! Totally addicted! - bummed that they had a show here in Chicago and I missed it! ='( They need to come back to Chicago soon!

[supersailorval]

Is it possible that nobody knows them in Italy?? This song is stuck in my head!! :-))

[nicholasczapiewski]

i miss the dreads

[Putcharles]

great song!

[aklanonboy]

that is an amazing way of tying back the dreadlocks.

[MrJekMor]

Лично мне  больше нравятся его выступления на акустической гитарке...

[Dougan135]

does anyone know where you could find a tab for the banjo of this song?

[09stellablue]

edusty- i just cut my dreads of six years off and let me tell you, tying them back that tight is NOT comfortable. mine were down to my waist and weiged three and a half pounds.

[edusty2010]

How does he tie his dreads up like that? I'm thinking about getting them and damn that looks like it would be comfortable for those times I don't want long ass hair haha!

[jjjackson5564]

you can be better than that

dont let it get the better of you

what could be better than

lifes not about whats better..

Genius lyrics..nuff said

[TheLilyman]

The drummer is a genius of a man

[jjjackson5564]

Agreed

[jarbo26]

@TheLilyman He really is an awesome drummer if I had to choose anyone to lay down tracks for me I'd get him.

[coldray5]

@TheLilyman i dont get it. why?

[corey90c]

@TheLilyman I appreciate your comment you, sir, know a good drummer when you see one.

[FDaRIAx2]

scisa77

Its call piracy

And i dont want to hear anyone bitch and say it makes the musicians loose money cuz it doesnt pirates are 10 times more likely to buy music then other people, i own JBT's cd's but i never would have if i couldnt listen to them first, so i pirated them then bought them. and how much money did i really give the band anyway 45 cents? id rather them come to play in my home town so i could pay them directly for there music.

[nsunshine10]

so right.

[neillybin]

my absolute mantra all day

[SteevyG92]

awesome

[janna166]

Ahh this is so beautiful...I cant stop listining to it

[TheFinalAct]

ive never seen a man with a banjo look so sexy..

[atk471]

can i marry you john...plez and thank you...

[twogirlsonevideo]

he's so talented.

[artillery666]

god damn i can't stop listening to this song!!! it rules!!!

[tenyearsgone09]

Amen to that one.

[M3G4G0TH]

oh well, another dude with a super-bad-evil nickname (megagoth, artillery666 hahaha :D) loving this song.

now somebody shall say dudes with evil nicknames dont listen to beautiful music. :)

[rokstar2001]

@artillery666 i agree this has to be one of the best JBT song I've ever heard.

[tracyellentracyellen]

@artillery666 me either!...I love it!

[hendrixfreek]

great tune, great players, he has a new line up now. I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff..

[artillery666]

great tune.

[BailoAnoche]

i love his Princess Leia buns on his head. One of my favorite bands though :D

[Lawes27]

I love that drummer, He looks so natural and genuine behind the kit!

[ade7]

Woooow!! this song is my favorite!!

[caralhomermaoloco]

wow

[tittenmaus20]

my favorite jbt song

[scisa77]

amazing song, one of my all-time fave bands, john butler is an amazing musician, i would love to be able to play like that one day.

it's so annoying though because its impossible to get their cd's in ireland, not good, considering i cant move any time soon (im only 16)...if anyone knows where you can get their music in ireland other than itunes, please let me know and ill love you forever! :D

[waffles1873]

exact the same in scotland no1 has heard of them little do they know

[OoGihstriioO]

try limewire or ares :D

[nathancuyler]

an easy way is of course using their official website to purchase CDs, t-shirts, etc. I would NOT recommend using limewire or any p2p sharing.... this does not obviously support JBT. Try talking to music stores in your area and ask for them to ship the CD in for you. Generally places do have them in their books just not on their shelves. You'd be surprised by what some stores can get their hands on for you with a week or two wait.

Just keep looking you'll have some luck someday

Peace and love

[travisbarker96]

you could try eBay. i have purchased a few cd's from different countrys. good luck :)

[neillybin]

scisa77 - u get the JB songs ? I can email u some if u want. I am in Oz - cheers MATE !

[IrishRhavin]

Yea I'm from Ireland(Dub) too, and I have recently found them popping up in HMV, i know u posted this months ago but thought i'd let u know

[ChaosTheory909]

need to look around more hmvs my local one doesn't have a clue of him :(

[nicholasczapiewski]

@ChaosTheory909 wtf? He just did a small set at the HMV on Robson in Vancouver last week. they sure knew who he was lol

[ChaosTheory909]

we need to get him around Ireland now too :P

[gypsy94mc]

@ChaosTheory909 hes playing at The Grand Canal on Oct 7th!!! cant wait....

[T3hRuski]

@ChaosTheory909 There's a fair amount of Butler fans in Ireland. He comes here fairly often as well.

[DopeCoozie2]

this song is amazingly perfect in every way

[jgbartl]

[gonephishin77]

[ChaoticMinds]

[tk100]

Too bad but,

"you could be better than that
