RIP Robert Johnson

[PurpleLungz23]

OVAL!!!

[deadboystare]

Been listening to Robert Johnson since I picked up a guitar at 15. I think he would be proud of this. Gil means every word. Don't know why I play this song every time I start driving anywhere.

[layslopez7]

OMG, Tate Langdon what are you doing here?

Great song.

[sirkutup]

Gil Scott-Heron is the " KING" of urban music and will " NEVER " die. The HEART and The SOUL!

[beatofthestreets]

what a voice

[LordVermis]

Simply a masterpiece!

[voodoocan4]

One of the last true musical poets.He spoke the truth,and like it or not.The truth is all that counts..R.I.P Gil.Peace.

[MorpheusEmilio]

This type of music is art in its purest form. I enjoy anything that involves even menial brain power.

[3aPyLeM]

Delightful music!

[nix831]

@PainlessTragedy quite simply, you're a cunt.

[Botchington]

I have one thing to say.

Luck.

[costcordero2]

@Botchington ... i heard this on the pilot too, love this ... gil lives on ... !!!

[richyblazedat]

fatass song. dumbass video.

[midnightboom177]

@richyblazedat i actually like the video. here is my take on it. the kids are all made up as skeletons because being from the ghetto as he says in the speaking part of the song at the end already guarantees death. they are already dead from the moment they were born there. its quite a sad but very provocative video in my opinion. idk if im rite but i think thats it

[truthbetrue]

Rip, showing how crazy the illuminiati satanic worshippers control everything, think we are sleeping zombies, not so much anymore, we waking up so f*** your new world order, creating fake terrorists its a bad joke. killuminati

[Vellz1]

118 people had no business on the song anyway!

[vojohanna21]

True Blood? at least Mr. Heron is reaching a new audience, even if it's through a vampire drama....i guess.

[lorenz2345]

my favorit video !!!

[RAMLIA1]

♥♥♥

[ElliosoDon1]

This video is superb, the visual imagery and colours bring back the memory of the warriors to me. I would love to see a film directed and shot in this way but i am struggling to see as how they would play out a storyline fitting to this kind of cinema. It would be difficult to keep realism while keeping within the close constraints of not being too far fetched.

[TeeloSeyna]

@ElliosoDon1 the warriors is one of the greatest film I've ever seen. I love the scene when they are in the underground with rich people in front of them and Swan forbid to his girl to set her haircut.

[mikemusicman]

all i'm saying is be careful because music can influence you in more ways then you think most people will give me abuse for saying this but i'm just saying be careful it wont make sense now but it will later i guess....

[dancininheavn]

@mikemusicman music influences only that which the direction is already going. if it's going negative, it will influence it (then again, it may not). you have no way of knowing what will influence and what will not. people take from music what they want, it's not up to you to judge, correct, or interfere.

[mikemusicman]

@dancininheavn Thankyou for the input :) like i said i'm not saying my input is right thing and you're all wrong it's just my opinion. And i feel if you're gunna have a mature debate name calling really isn't the way to go that's the kind of stuff little children do and i never said i'm an expert on music... i don't know why your soo angry but it's cool i'm done arguing on here anyways :)

[lllllllllilllllllll]

@mikemusicman you do not understand the expurgatory character of music like this. And art in general. what you are saying is far more confusing, dark and angry than anything in this music or the video. In fact this music makes me feel better about myself.

[MyrMyron]

@lllllllllilllllllll how do you remember your username?

[Naff83]

@lllllllllilllllllll

I cant but imagine that anyone having difficulty understanding the expurgatory character of music may also be having difficulty understanding the word expurgatory.....just a thought.

[NemD1969]

@mikemusicman You're an idiot.

[mikemusicman]

@NemD1969 very mature

[NemD1969]

@mikemusicman Your opinion is idiotic. My saying so has nothing to do with being immature.

[mikemusicman]

@NemD1969 well yes at the end of the day it is my OPINION, calling me a idiot for having an opinion is very immature. But obviously people won't always follow it because it's far fetched and contradicts your perceived norm on society, so i respect your disagreement but i'd rather you didn't call me and idiot because i am quite educated :). God bless

[dancininheavn]

@mikemusicman and his opinion was that YOUR opinion was idiotic. how is it immature for him to have an opinion and not immature to have yours? ... if you were educated, you would have already known that. my opinion is that you seem to think you are the expert on music. you aren't.

[SirCiabattasemmel]

1:53 Sido (:



[topcatiscool]

@PainlessTragedy you think Gil Scott Heron was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.......man in his life he has been through more shit than you can imagine! he can write about whatever the fuck he wants.

[Ghengisfritzmeister]

i hear robert johnson in there.

[AustinMHill]

@PainlessTragedy You're a moron.

RIP Gil Scott-Heron. 

[scientific1982]

@PainlessTragedy There is no devil fool.

[BJzLiFEy]

@PainlessTragedy I Hope God Reviles..His Self To You..Before The Devil Does..

[MRJEWPOWER91]

those evil babies are attractive as fuck

[jojo270003]

@PainlessTragedy the devil is just humanities way of perceiving "evil".. and evil is very real, my friend.

[slickspic101]

@PainlessTragedy did you even listen to the song? if you had, you would notice that your comments don't have shit to do with this song, except perhaps for the title. if you are so "sick of hearing devil worship in music," WHAT THE FUCK are you doing trolling around a vid called "Me And The Devil" ?!

RIP Gil Scot Heron

[sunra3000]

ROBERT JOHNSON, GIL SCOTT HERON, WHATS NOT TO LOVE?

ART IS SYMBIOTIC, GROW ON IT

then let it grow on you

[ErikAngstrom]

Just saw Misfits and was like "My boy Gil!" Rest his soul.

[HayziFromOz]

Thumbs up if IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU FOUND THIS SONG, just so long as you appreciate it in its own right.

[nix831]

@HayziFromOz see, normally i'd agree.

HOWEVER, this is Gil Scott-Heron we are speaking of. a piece of ART he produced in the months leading up to his death.

and yet, it has found itself on one of the worst, intelligence-melting pieces of television crud ever to have existed.

seriously, line the two up. Gil Scott-Heron, and Trueblood(i love misfits, but the 10 seconds of this doesnt really come into play here)

but back to the point, fucking trueblood, at some point you just have to draw the line

[HayziFromOz]

@nix831 Well, it would appear that I am forced to concede. I found this song on True Blood...

That said, however, I agree that it is soul-suckingly trashy, but for me that's part of the appeal. Serious TV shows get a bit boring after a while, and given a choice on what mindless show to watch, I would gladly choose TB over Bold & The Beautiful, etc. What I won't sink too is mediocre music, and I can appreciate this music for the vivid, deep poetry that it is. Judge me gently...

[nix831]

@HayziFromOz i guess thats where we disagree. i cant stand most of whats on tv nowadays, not even for shock and awe (due to its shit-content) value. i have too many friends who watch real housewives and other crappy stuff on that level passionately.

i dont judge by the way :)

[happysaddo007]

I can't remember where from, when or how I found out about any of Gil Scott Heron's music to be honest, I was kind of brought up with it. But, i'll be honest, I'm glad it's getting more recognition. So please, old and new Heron fans, please shut the fuck up and listen to the damn music eh?

[Arneseesyou]

Gil Scott-Heron is a fucking legendary poet.

[PandaRageOfficial]

Thumbs up if you're hear because you have an excellent taste in music rather than from some tv show...

[KBRUJIC]

@PandaRageOfficial as a person who has excellent taste in music you should shut you loud mouth trap and stick that pompous attitude up your pie hole. get over yourself buddy

[MashHacker]

@KBRUJIC Thank you. Saved me writing a comment i've written too many times.

[VitaReduXX]

@PandaRageOfficial so by your logic people who watch tv have no good taste in music? get over yourself, they're searching for it because they LIKE the music, implying GOOD TASTE.

[sadddddd666]

pretty sure that my dad wouldn't give a shit if this was on true blood, or misfits...

[sixhundredsixtyfive]

Fuck TV, this is MUSIC!!

[Con8Ore]

Who cares if people found this song via True Blood....you should just be glad other people experience good music and be glad for them....and True Blood has a fantastic soundtrack which is why they picked this fantastic song...so get the fuck over it that you knew it before it was on True Blood....elitist pricks....go jerk it to Pitchfork

[beauevans]

if you like this dude, check out the album he made with JamieXX. fucking dope. production is prime, lyrics are perfect. thumb this up cuz that album doest have as many views as it should

[willzyx12]

people gotta give props to Robert Johnson

[MacEwan23eh]

His dad played for Celtic FC! :)

[SpeeLendid]

Gil Scott Herron didn't write this song. Still awesome though. I like his cover better than the original.

[skramamme]

His speaking voice is just so beautiful and powerful (I say "is" because, even though he is dead, his work continues to live).

[TheIrrationalAnimal]

like i you know how to spell knew

[xtremejimjams13]

Like if you new this song before fucking fake-ass true blood.

[85MarkusP]

This guy is GOOD

[tjasberce123]

FIEND x CINEMA!

[nlcooper]

pro tip: robert johnson song from the 30s.

[jorayx]

@nlcooper Gil Knew that and he's paying homage. Thanks for teaching the ignorant though bro.

[CallOfDutySnipez]

AHHEM *the devil and I

[MacEwan23eh]

@CallOfDutySnipez Fuck off

[StepBack13]

@CallOfDutySnipez Actually either is fine because it's not clear whether he and the devil are the object or subject of the sentence, since it's a fragment. If the full sentence is "It's me and the devil walking side by side" then "devil and I" is wrong.

[tro7e]

what's "Trueblood"?

[xVenomousxDreamsx]

How can this have dislikes?! my generation is fucked...

[TheJoshJman]

fuck, this is crazy on Beats by Dre!!!

[MrNarcoleptik]

@TheJoshJman its nothing compared to the quality you'd get from actually listening to the CD, YT quality is actually fairly shit

[TheJoshJman]

@MrNarcoleptik you're probably right. i can't wait for the cd. i bet he had so much to give.

[MrNarcoleptik]

@TheJoshJman i dont mean to sound like a guy that dismisses new technology and stuff, but after years of listening to music on an iPod, you'll realize that listening to a CD through good headphones on a cd player will just blow your mind away

[MrsMegatron66]

All of you who are fighting like dumbasses and shut the fuck up and listen to what he has to say. Whether you like it or not.

[Iamfrankenstoner]

The best video ever!

@Standing7 exactly / I can not say nothing more

[BenJarvisFTW]

Someone please reccomend more music similar to this to me! PM or email pllleasseee!

[AAAAAGGHHH]

Fuck what everybody is saying about "omg this song was on true blood!!" Gil Scott Heron was a lyrical genius who probably never intended for his art to be on shitty pretentious programs about vampires. R.I.P Gil Scott Heron.

[TripleDouble91]

@AAAAAGGHHH There's no denying Gil's lyrical genius. He's a man apart. You do know that he didn't write this song though? Robert Johnson did.

[robbyalp]

@AAAAAGGHHH Fuck what you're saying about Gil Scott. True Blood is television genius that probably never wanted to include shitty pretentious music about devils.

[AAAAAGGHHH]

@robbyalp shut the fuck up edward cullen. You're the type of person I would just love to puch in the face.

[robbyalp]

@AAAAAGGHHH The more of your writing I see the more I understand. And just to be clear I didn't mean that, I was just pointing out how stupid your comment sounded.

[gainford70]

@AAAAAGGHHH THE GRAND BIZARRE brought me here.

[252illwill]

@AAAAAGGHHH amen ese

[austin134]

@AAAAAGGHHH Has anyone ever told you to fuck off? Well you should!

[Oneightninezero]

R.I.P. brother, you will be missed

[denisgianne]

Good night!

[THUGCASPER]

this guy sounds like a fucking crackhead

[kraysibadass]

I did not came here from neither for reading about trueblood, so please stfu and just tell me what the fuck does he say at the end! hahaha, I cant understand him :(

[spiritwolf50]

@kraysibadass listen if you speak english then you should be able to understand your writing english

[cherrybombsingsong]

Love the B&W cinematography. Really atmospheric video & great track. Did some of the ghouls make it into Lady Gaga's Born This Way video?

[AsSeenOnTV0893]

His voice is so soulful.

[irNiknaks83]

thank you Misfits for this chuneee

[Ashleyamberly]

pretty ironic and amusing to think that the same show these 'hipsters' are hating on clearly employs people that happen to be 'hip' enough to know about these songs in the first place...smh pathetic

[RoKe3028]

The 10 seconds of this song on Misfits made up for it being on Trueblood.

[Standing7]

Das coolste Video das ich kenne.

[sms1511]

The original song was by Robert Johnson- Me and the devil blues. Johnson was said to have sold his soul at a crossroad in Mississippi in exchange for mastery of the guitar. Roots of music 101.

[asesuesuas]

this tune really makes me horny

[DarkylolNana]

Be careful Misfist is coming to you ! D:

[overquoted]

RIP Gil Scott-Heron

[bostonbeanchick]

I gotta get this version!!!! Why can't I find this? Where can I find this?

[matlloydpoet]

@bbishop88 he changed you, me, and many more...

[endlessnteer]

there's another version i prefer

[euanmacharua]

why is this version so much longer than the album version, I can only find 3.5min versions and i want this 5.15 version!

[jesseraycharles]

@euanmacharua ..the last minute and half is from another track from the album

[juancar263]

impresionante, es de lo más nutrido que he visto en toda mi vida, ninguna pega que poner, un 10... Grande GIL, eres un maestro...

[TwilightMao]

I loved Gil's older material, especially "Home is Where the Hatred Is", I got into his music in my early teens. I love his latest and final album, people wish they could be this good. He's so effortless with it.

[nix231]

Did I spot Lorena from True Blood in there?

[keeganthomo]

This is positively one of the best things I've heard in a long time! Kinda hating on myself for not discovering this guy until he died :(

[DubTopDropper]

@keeganthomo yeh same man. heard this song for the first time 3 or 4 days ago. shame. appreciate it more in his memeory

[matthewjamal]

"i dont really care where you bury me, once im gone, im gone"
