[HoorayImHelping]

Someone putting muppets to Shatner's spoken word album? I CAN get behind that.

[angemala]

HIlarious! I can;t get behind a fat ass! LMFAO!!! Shatner and Rollins = damn creative genius!

[Wirelessbum]

Henry Rollins for President.

[MADRAVN420]

awsome ....completly awsome!!!!

[ebMagnum]

The only part I disagree with is "I can't get behind a fat ass"

Fuck that, I'll spend all week behind a fat ass!!! As long as it's shaped correctly.

[BrutusJones]

Great stuff

[HoochHendrix]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS INSANE IT'S BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PromiserOfDeath]

LOL I cant get behind a fat ass! :P

[HamburgParrots]

All Shatner all the time!

[bobmonk64]

Awsom vid!

[MrJamesrnolan]

A couple of people asked who the drummer was. It's Matt Chamberlain. He's a session musician who also played with Edie Brickell. Pearl Jam (before Ten was released) and his own jazz-fusion group called Critters Buggin.

[MrJamesrnolan]

Captain Kirk burns rubber on his peeves like a speed-crazed philosopher, and Hank Rollins just plain kicks it over the 50-yard line! Pure prose for now people, Jack, and funny as all get out. The puppets fit the voices perfectly and the voices inhabit those puppets in a way even a Borg could never imagine.

[Furball2k]

Haha Awesome =^_^=

[starlitsky222]

Haha! I wanted to rate this vid 5 stars, but then I noticed it was at 420....I couldn't mess with that, man!! =)

[peweeh]

hahah :D

[pathammond]

I CAN'T GET BEHIND THAT!

[Honkofthewall]

The story Henry told about this recording is great.

[juggernaught900]

yea wasnt that his shock and awe tour he talked about that?

[Coldbevies]

Very competent puppetry. Emotion and intensity came through the motions and facial controls very well.

And besides, this song is gem in Shatner's career.

[coloradoaspengirl]

i can get behind this

[pluskat]

I CAN"T GET BEHIND A FAT ASS!!

hahahaha this is too good!

[Jonstableable]

Shatner and Rollins in the same room, i can't get behind that.

[229095]

This is awesome!! And you can hear Henry's punk days come out at 1:35!!

[spectralbovine]

This is awesome.

[TheSender]

Henry Rollins is a beautiful, beautiful man.

[travisdavies42]

This is Fantastic!!

[willyrobinson]

[ZoMommEY]

I fucking love this!!

[existentialfingers]

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

[TouchedProductions]

5 stars!

[emtec2111]

5 stars

awesome

[deadnlovely]

good grief! this is brilliant!

[youknuckle]

Nice message, sent through a monkey navigated rocket powered bulldozer.

[Golfhaus]

Someone takes homemade Muppets and has them lip sync a Shatner/Rollins song and posts it on YouTube. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, but lo, it works awesomely!

[tasmandevil0811]

@Golfhaus :

Shatner & Rollins VS. puppets... "That is AWESOME! I'm on my way! " ;-)

[UK1774]

this is great

[Ragedyrag17]

this song is eveything.

[kpm1969]

This is truly brilliant! Bravo.

[Synskin]

How did you improve something that was already so awesome? It makes no sense at all!

[FLPman]

great eyebrow control.. simple but very well done

[gothecold]

does anyone know who done the drumming on this track??

[SantaCruzOM]

This is fantastic. I'd still love to get behind a fat ass.

[loveandmojitos]

This. Rules.

[timbo170887]

thats some fucking good drumming!

[thoughtcrimer]

Hey Henry,

Sorry I start all my letters like that now.

Great stuff guys, thanks. faved!

[happymangoween]

that was awesome

[MorginWard]

This is really awesome, I love beat poetry.

[saturn443]

Wow thats some crazy drumming! Great track

[brewt1mer]

oh my god ,,,shatner you are god on earth man!!!

[psshocktheworld]

This is pretty much the greatest use of puppets I have seen in a long time. It makes this track even more amazing. Rock on.

[Soundboy6]

I love Rollin's stand up bit regarding the story behind this recording. So goddamn funny.

[tonto666ehg]

i had never heard of this until i listened to rollins spoken word about this.

[Soundboy6]

I know, eh? Same here. Rollins is great in almost everything he does. Ever heard his Spoken Word Album? He's quite the poet too.

[mgbfan81]

Check out his bit on recording this with William Shatner...(see side bar, "Shock & Awe: William Shatner, Pt 1")

"I hear a guitar. Henry, do you hear a guitar?"

"No...but I've had a high-pitched whine in my right ear since 1982..."

[darrellwhitelaw]

without a doubt, the video makes this track 100% funnier.

[ks610]

Leave me the hell alone!

[iluvmorrissey]

Absolutely hilarious!!!

WHY ARE JEOPARDISING MY LIFE!!!

[RexNunc]

AAAAAAUGHHHH!

This is EPIC

[CyclezombiE]

I just like the outraged burst of will letting us know he can't get behind fat ass!

[jack00008]

dude! drummer does a blast beat at 1:37!

[OzPaddy]

Love it.  But can someone tell me who decided Henry would be a blue monster?

[kraker109]

a grey monster would have been more apropriate

[KillHill101]

brilliant!!!

[mgbfan81]

Anybody seen Rollins talk about this on Shock & Awe? It's probably as hilarious as this! LoL!!!

"I hear a guitar...Henry, do you hear a guitar?"

"No, but I've had a high-pitched whine in my right ear since 1982."

[supersally1974]

Scallop Man!

[symptomy]

LOL!

[davevontexas]

Beyond awesome.

[zeightygeisty]

[scarrenboy]

Kong vs Godzilla, Alien vs Predator, Shatner vs Rollins. Clash of the Titans!

[yourdave]

I'd love to have a 5 minute sit-down chat with either Bill or Henry. Both would be ridiculously interesting fellas to talk to. Albeit for vastly different reasons.

[WiiCreatorindustry]

have fun having your sit-down chat with rollins. lol

[espada9]

Captain Kirk is WAY more punk than Rollins!

[derWahreC]

FUCK YOU!

[dannyboylee]

You guys are terrific puppeteers. The lip work on the word "futile" is awesome!

[xreddemon]

This is some trippy fucked up shite man i love it

[jawn108]

"i can't get behind a fat ass..." haha i love that

[ja1959hnt]

Damn funny vid, William shatner and Henry Rollins together. What a weird fucking world, glad I'm here ch-ch-chickeny chick.

[Vicious516]

[AirmanCylon401]

The leafblowers- Is there anything more beautiful? LOL!

[shadowthedark]

futile. :)

[1unusedname]

Actually he says leafblowers are futile.

[AirmanCylon401]

Oops! My bad! That makes more sense. Funnier too :)

[bwaaap]

i think it's 'futile.'

leafblowers are beautiful,though.

[carefreecrow]

EXCELLENT SHATNER RULES..

[RipleyXander]

This is great. Please can you make a puppet video for the song "Has Been"? It would be perfect.

[despairtonohair]

Excellent stuff

[technohead666]

i like how henry Rollins isn't even human in this

[knarkanders]

all i can think about is henry rollins talking about this "song" being recorded and scallops. haha

[equalcharliebrown]

I CAN'T GET BEHIND, A FAT ASS!

[Bubbashaft69]

Shatner has always been Epic... i actually really like the Has Been album :$ especially the song with Ben Folds five

[Valentizzle]

Brilliant.

[bossskate]

I'm behind it.

[suchducks]

This is more entertaining than the track itself.

[Kuraiou]

That was incredibly awesome.

[prometheanterror]

Rollins and Shatner. This is almost to epic to get behind. I love it.

[ninjaspinster]

Okay, that was just awesome.

[usernamessuck27]

Shatner/Rollins in 2008

:D

[prometheanterror]

..........I'd never thought of that. You're glorious.

[hotboxgirl]

Can't. Shatner is Canadian.

[rageofthenorth]

What is that supposed to mean?

[e1m1b]

it's a reference to one of his stand up shows.

[kotkavuori]

Shat happens! The whole "Has Been" album is brilliant. Bill whips angry werewolf's ass with a belt like Dalai Lama on acid! Splendid.

[Hunsruck]

THE Colonel is break-dancing, gimmie a break - I CANT GET BEHIND THAT - set phasers for stun baby! (fingers snapping in the smoke filled coffee laden arena of critical beatniks driving down the Dharma-Bum print of vengence....yeahhhh....cool)

[kotkavuori]

Yeah! Damn Cool! Greetings from Finland! :)

[Hunsruck]

FINLAND ROCKS! Greetings right back at cool-cat.

[tacos4all]

Great song choice. MC sanders cracked me up. Ridiculous! <3 Puppet power.

[Zanderif]

Such a good rant, and the puppets add a nice touch. Hilarious, and well timed execution. An awesome rant, just made better.

[ragink]

Henry Roliins and Bill Shatner ranting. I CAN get behind that!

[Poeggy129]

sweet!!!!! great job!

[attntive2detail]

Dude... we need to get together soon so we can make videos together... pretty please?! (Love the video... MC Sanders... :P)
