@tomloia , coz he is a fucking genius on that guitar, the best guitar player around rght now,how he does what he does with just a mic an amp and a semi-acoustic guitar is unbefuckinglievable!!!!!!, thats why there are no dislikes,any 1 who does not like newton's stuff has no taste in music what so ever!!!!!!!!!!
theres not many people these days that play, roght and sing there own songs newton is class better than fucking lady ga ga and the res of the shit out there
amazing. this guy has more talent than any other artist in our generation. guarenteed. love his music, and it hard to believe anyone can really be that good...
this man is amazing and seriously its NATURAL talent! like you see some famous singers who sing about loads of crap about how they cheated on their girlfriend but wants her back?!?! <-- not original at all, but then Newton Faulkner has actual talent, he can sing in tune and play the guitar and keep a beat :]
Does anyone know what the thing over the soundhole is or where I can get one. It looks like he uses it for part of the percussion and I would like to try to play this song.
john butler is probably better at the guitar part (cus of ocean), but i haven't seen him do the banging on the guitar and all of that stuff.. they're differen't types of gods :)
he's nowhere near tommy's standard on guitar, though their styles aren't really very comparable. but he is a better singer and is more marketable so might end up more famous. i reckon
so funny when he said "what the fuck was that?" lol he is amazin. i would love 2 play like he does. i heard this song a while ago n was like 'hmm mayb i could play this?' now i c this its like :O mayb not!
Value this vid folks, not just because of the sheer legendary brilliance, but also becuase this'll probably be the only time you hear Newton say "What the fuck was that?" :)))))))
He's amazing-i saw him last year when he was supporting James Morrison at DMH in Leicester. Best gig ive ever been to because of this man he's absolutely genius and original
@John9O0H , he has been around for a couple of years now since his first album, but b4 that he used to busk in london,there are a few vids of him busking and they are class!!!
Not sure who Michael is that you're referring to, can't see any related comments on the page. Who's too old, I got the shock of my life recently when I found out that Newton Faulkner is only 23. Even though he looks about mid thirties and you'd think he'd been playing for 20+ yrs

i didnt flame you lol.
not even in the slightest.
if i was flaming you id have been all aggressive at you for saying Butler doesnt do percussion :P anyways yeah Enjoy Butler :D
danfrost313 3 years ago
imo JB is the most skilled musican but NF has a different style, he is also better at percussion than JB (imo) probably because he uses it alot more.
They are both diversly different artists but both excell at what they do.
