Mason Williams - Classical Gas (Acoustic)

[MrStefman87]

33 people hear with their butt

[MrRene2411]

I don't think anyone can make this song sound any better or that no one can play it like this they probably play it but not as bad ass as this one

[pejb83]

and we'll sit day and night by the big cooling tower, they have the plant but we have the power.

[andeanmusic]

every time. this song is unreal!

[DaAlmightyBockwurst]

33 people just found out it's not by Eric Clapton.

[susiehelme]

this is the best version of one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. A lot of guitarists try to show off by rushing it. Don't rush it. Play it nice and slow so when the crescendo builds we feel every shivver up the spine.

[limewolf3]

this took me a reaally long time to learn on the guitare...

[JuuBaduu]

Who ever disliked this is a crazy.

[iambri1965]

another good one is apollo 100 "joy"

[raja1994]

This just makes the hair on the back my neck stand up. AMAZING!

[MrDylancarlson]

thumbs up if tobuscus brought you here =)

[czf21]

Dude just think if it was a eletric guitar

[Gabrol]

@czf21 probably would be worse.

[lvnbutterfly]

...Big Bear Lake California, late sixties is where this song takes me back... *Sigh* :) xo

[TheEliasrocker]

q temazooooo



[greghmn]

I'm gonna deal with 32 people. I'm actually on first name terms with Mason and I wanna fix this. My dad (who is from Eugene) is a good friend of his and has played quite a few shows with him before as a saxophonist. (Unfortunately, he was like 10 when this song came out so he wasn't on the original.)

[RUGRAT1362A]

@greghmn Do you really know him? I've been trying for many years to find a copy of this Hand Made album. My dad had the original when it first came out. He played it constantly and I was so fond of it that I myself wore the vinyl down to the bone. I've googled til I'm googled out and I can't find it. If you could help, I'd be so happy :)

[greghmn]

@RUGRAT1362A Yes, I do! Idk, maybe I should talk to my dad. You probably can't get it on the net if you haven't found where you can get a vinyl. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, that helps. (He lives in Eugene, OR; I'm a Portland native).

[RUGRAT1362A]

@greghmn I would really appreciate that. I'm in Northeastern PA. (Native New Yorker) Haven't had any luck on the net or in the local stores. Most people don't even know who he is which is a shame since he put out some great music back in the day. Please keep me posted.

[AAaaRrOoNn09]

now play classical gas!

[Firebrand1922]

Thank you Lenny

[ElNisel]

It seems,I was born 30 years to late.. :<

[ProvocatingMonkeys]

Lennys Song :)

[Zufod]

@ProvocatingMonkeys ohyeah.. i watched it on pro7 thirty minutes ago .. <3 *____*

[ElNisel]

@Zufod so I'm not the only one who wanted to hear the original ;D

[whitearab2]

i understand the whole "to each his own" concept, but even 32 dislikes out of almost a million views is crazy, how could anyone not love this song

[Stinakins42]

@whitearab2 Because they are jealous. 

[blujay1337]

WHO RUINED MUSIC THESE DAYS??? NOW WE DON'T HAVE THE GOODNESS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY!!!! All the crap music with autotune makes everyone think that this stuff is crap, but this is true beauty.

[mmasters180]

@blujay1337 I could not agree more! Autotune, Modern R&B, Dubstep and Remixes are killing real music and sound crap while doing so. To me most things pre 2000 sound good including classical, jazz, rock, 'alternative' and some of the pop. This is a beautiful example of music with a beat and a tune that anyone can admire and dance to. Clapton, The Stones, Dire Straits and simmilar bands are what music is all about:

Meaningful lyrics

An iconic tune

And the soul that we lost somehow...

[TheMrNiceGuy90]

@mmasters180 sorry but I have to disagree.not the "new" kind of music destroys music, but the people, who are too much influenced by the media.Seems like they just won't find their own kind of stylebtw. I'm listening to dubstep but also Dire Straits or Stones...

[bonesgrey]

DENTAL PLAN!

[ajs1850]

thumbs up if you came here after hearing it in cheaper by the dozen.

[PopsAWright]

@ajs1850 No one came her after watching cheaper by the dozen

[ajs1850]

@PopsAWright Get the cock out of your ass man....

[pyramid2012]

Dental plan..Lisa needs braces...Dental plan..Lisa needs braces...Dental plan..Lisa needs braces...Dental plan..Lisa needs braces...

[fadedsun303]

@pyramid2012 Hahaha! Totally the reason why I just looked up this song.

[Exzeenosaga]

Thumbs up if you came here after watching Toby Turner / Tobuscus Play this ^-^

[TheGreatestShow199]

@Exzeenosaga i seriously was unaware that he played this

[Exzeenosaga]

@TheGreatestShow199 Yeah i was watching play this song on 1 of his vids and i was like woah XD

[hogwartspirate4lyfe]

thumbs up if you searched for this after watching the director's commentary on cheaper by the dozen with steve martin and bonnie hunt.

[SquirrelINSANITY]

People, when you are listening to this song, please close your eyes... in my mind a picture is painted when I am listening to music while my eyes are closed... it is the best feeling ever!

[ferrisishere]

so good that guinness decided to use it for one of their ads

[nanook893]

Tobuscus......



[IceColdHeart01]

@nanook893 I'm not the only one that came here because of Toby! ^_^

[nanook893]

@IceColdHeart01 we are a nation...no an audience....and we stick together,,,,kinda

[gardedog]

hey he left out the middle part with the french horns!

[TheMummy516]

@gardedog This is the original. That was added in in the appearance in the show he played for. This was the very original acoustic I believe. However I may wrong.

[YamaKazoo]

99.9 percent of people need to wake up.give this music some views people.

[rawrgDX]

haha I've heard this so many times and I never realized it was Classical Gas till now. DUH! XD

[Dirtypotatoeater]

How are all of the positive comments related to the Simpsons. I mean, I remember the episode well, but I would think that people would relate to it by its pure awesomeness rather than a cartoon.

[spretten]

@Dirtypotatoeater well lets hope most people came here to listen because they thought it was a very good piece, atleast that's why i came around after watching that episode for the umpteenth time, it's a very good episode and a very good instrumental

[ajs1850]

@Dirtypotatoeater i dont, i refer to its awsomeness in cheaper by the dozen when they go searching for their son who ran away.

[washingtonboy09]

Okay Mason is not dead..

[TytaniumBurrito]

Crazy how this musical genius dies and noone gives a shit, but that crack head amy winehouse dies of overdose and everyones crying WTF!

[Sarasdad91]

@TytaniumBurrito But you gotta ask yourself, are the people who mourn Amy also on crack? Probably meth as well.

[bizzo142]

@TytaniumBurrito No one gives a shit, coz he's still alive, sucker. Don't think we're falling for the David Bowie, John Bon Jovie , stupid deathrumours. Jeez, haven't you got anything better to do.

Mason Williams is alive and well, and don't you know it. lol lol

[JVmaster101]

@TytaniumBurrito plus she died at a very young age

and yea williams is still alive and well

im not saying shes a better musician, but if a 50 year old dies, and a 10 year old dies, people are going to mourn the 10 year old more

[TytaniumBurrito]

RIP Mason Williams

[washingtonboy09]

@TytaniumBurrito Mason Williams isnt dead

[oldguy55ify]

First time I heard this (in 1970) I was in a foggy haze.... something I may have smoked....still sounds great...

[randyorellana]

I'm learning this song on my guitar

[xfreakphilx]

240p from a vinyl.. please no...

[bbkidfan]

WHERE IS MY BURGER!! WHERE IS MY BURGER!!

[etherialdowntime]

[PhoenixX360X117]

[0MetalllicA]

LOVE IT 8D

[Pabloquiroz1990]

Me hubiera gustado nacer unas cuantas decadas atras, que hermosa musica !

[joetavish]

have you heard their newest song, "modern gas"?

[yurismir1]

@joetavish No but I just had a bean burrito and...there has to be joke there somewhere...I'll come back later when I think of one

[joetavish]

@yurismir1 i'm sure there is! i look forward to it!

[HighOfSeventyFive]

@fuck off. you should be happy that a song from the 70s is still being loved by the current generation, even if some people had to learn it through an internet sensation (who is AWESOME by the way). I don't know if you noticed, but we grew up with the internet. its how 90% of us find good classical music, since this song isn't typically played on the radio anymore. now go back to haterville before the internet gets angry with you. you don't want to see the internet when its mad.

[matrat57]

one word: Ta-bar-nak

[D4rkh34v3ns]

whats with the random comments?

[Misternoncommercial]

[JMHJose]

i need to learn this song now!! >.<

[boomdawg11d7]

crazy about this face melting jam

[SteveHolt1984]

What is all this about dental plan? I don't get it.

[P4DDY2K11]

@SteveHolt1984 So we'll march day and night, by the big cooling tower, They have the plant, but we have the power.

PLAY CLASSICAL GAS

[cheesebuyer]

@SteveHolt1984 It's a Simpsons reference.

[jddrsiraven]

Sweet!

It looks like Ron Swanson is on the cover of this album. HAHA! xD

[MrDieNachmacher]

this song is one step before Van Halens Erruption:D

[karambolization]

Finaly good song available on songsterr

Poland-1 Copyrights-0

[iosis2009]

@MyMetallica16 find the sheet music and practice.... its a simple yet very effective method

[Ozbotonian]

@MyMetallica16 Pour every ounce of free time you have into it... and pray alot. Trying to learn this song has sent many ppl over the edge...

[tbreez712]

i love how the top comments are the exact same thing. Unoriginality at its finest

[rolandroiroi]

@tbreez712 Now do classical gas

[HypaChondriacMusic]

@tbreez712 I love how you used one of the most overused comments too, irony and hypocrisy at it's finest

[tbreez712]

@HypaChondriacMusic you're probably not a total fucking idiot.

[HypaChondriacMusic]

@tbreez712 i'm getting mixed signals here

[StewartmsFuoco]

@MyMetallica16 practice

[andrew2112yyz]

top comments are both the same.... I dont want to live on this planet anymore.... well there is still this song.. XD ill stay



[widgey201]

i know a certain portion of a population are inevitably considered mentally insane but i still cant understand how people can dislike this

[SquintPoopzilla]

Now do classical gas!

[blodhgarm96]

i can play this song after month of practicing it

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

the word we're looking for is Owned!

[deadbeatscrappy]

TOBUSCUS!!!!

[Megafrinje]

@deadbeatscrappy fuck off. only true fans listen to a legend. don't rely on a internet sensation to learn good music pfft

[HighOfSeventyFive]

@Megafrinje fuck off. you should be happy that a song from the 70s is still being loved by the current generation, even if some people had to learn it through an internet sensation (who is AWESOME by the way). I don't know if you noticed, but we grew up with the internet. its how 90% of us find good classical music, since this song isn't typically played on the radio anymore. now go back to haterville before the internet gets angry with you. you don't want to see the internet when its mad.

[Megafrinje]

@HighOfSeventyFive I don't give a crap how you find out where your music comes from. In all respect for where Tobuscus stands (with all of his fame), I'm pretty sure he doesn't take credit for making this song popular. So in all respect for the person who wrote the song, I think posting something such as this is kind of disrespectful. And well, the fact I've left a message such as now and then, makes me kind of part of the internet, don't you think?

[MacacoPulando]

@Megafrinje Such a stupid hipster ha ha

[MysteryVG]

@Megafrinje fuck off yourself douchebag, anyone can listen to whoever they like and can find it though whatever means they wish, stop being a dick, you dick! pfft.

[xXWindsniperXx]

This is the best version.

[thatonekid20111]

Why are the two top comments the same thing >.<

[saintbeast24]

i love this fucking song.

.

i used to trip out to it as a kid. these days it just takes me back. man o man.. i love this song..

[DreamJ2eaper]

[Nickelbackstar94]

Utter Sensational!



[DebberzLovesFF]

[125supersmasher]

wow watching this makes me do classical gas in my pants...which means its good.. lol

[goaltie]

a million times better than sungha jungs version... my opinion ;)

[BadComel]

First listened to Vanessa Mae's version when I was a kid..fell in love with it ever since..this version is much much better.. :)

[CheesyDoomPolice]

1970? It was from the 60's actually, still, epic song

[g4lt]

@CheesyDoomPolice in the 60's Williams was still under contract to NBC. He had to wait until the Smothers Brothers either released him to record or ended to put it on Vinyl

[RetroSparkles]

Best version :)

[ResistThEnonsencE]

Beautiful song. This should remind everyone that it´s not important how good or fast someone can play Guitar but how it sounds.

[GAMESTOPxLOVER]

Frasier

[RushAllDay]

I can't help think that Metallica used pieces of this song to make The Unforgiven?

[ThomDemon]

@RushAllDay lol its not alike at all?

[RushAllDay]

@RushAllDay

haha i know i mean just the part from 0:20 to 0:45, reminds me of the main riff if it was slowed down lol

[D4rkh34v3ns]

people say this song is for people who were here when it come out and loved it, but Im 17 born in 1994, my dad was playing this on his guitar and i fell in love with it, now i come back here like every day to listen to it. LOVE THIS SONG!

[seabrook7039]

[codywrite]

Now do classical gas again!

[RedLightning55]
