David Garrett The Flight of the Bumble Bee

[b02345678]

where is he? taiwan or china? i saw chinese behind him

[NivlekCross]

Is this in Hong Kong?

[JeffMwandia1]

the only reason someone would not like this is because if youre like me the music makes you want the video quality to be excellent like the music but even still it is undislikeable

[skywing70]

nice...

I play the violin and i'll NEVER be HALF as fast as he is... PLUS he learns the music off by heart...

Whoa...

[DudeClear]

9 people played "Flight of the Shitbox"

[khiladikk]

For all those who don't know about him and posting stupid comments, This guy holds the world record for playing Flight of the Bumble Bee in 106 seconds!

[darkskies2]

@khiladikk  I beg to differ! Search youtube for Oliver Lewis and you'll see him playing it in 63.3 seconds!

[Sleven859]

What kind of LOSER comes on here and cuts down a performance like that? I'll tell you who, someone who will never be as great or famous at ANYTHING!!

[angelicajrrt]

maquinaaaa!!

[Brance451]

You stupid ppl. David garret Is a legend. And the song is MENT to go that fast in the first place. ITS FLIGHT OFF THE BUMBLE BEE SHIT HEADS!!!! and for the f***era who think it's boring. Go get a life!!!

[finkstink13]

tempo makes the song lose what it should be: a song full of fun and emotions!

[gcsami]

obviously hes doing that to practice himself playing fast not to show any soul or some shit like that.

[lynnsaq]

It's sounds so boring -_-

[terryowah]

that sounds terrible. Fast is not better sorry

[InsaneNutjob]

@terryowah

And? It wasn't supposed to sound good, it was supposed to be fast, and it is. Besides, "good" is subjective and "fast" is objective, other people have different opinions, but everybody has come to the common standpoint of it being fast.

[MrPingPongSr]

Are those like… 64th notes??

[alexsoutherland]

@MrPingPongSr Actually 32nd but with a high tempo i think

[myarockergirl12345]

DAVID GARRETT ROCKS YEAH!



[blobbishx]

...hong kong?

[ZSNROCKS]

dude, he beat his world record by like 5 seconds, he should get a redo of his first attemp... because he can go even faster than that if he tries, and puts his mind to it... thumbs up if you think im right? lol

[EbilinforcerDJ]

staccato and nes fast

[Ahamster1]

effortless....wow!

[xtearsofbloodandjoyx]

Hes amazing!

[Carti1983]

This song isn't for a speed record. Play the music the way it's intended.

Not saying he isn't doing a fast job, it just ruins the piece.

[ConnorSurdiPhoto]

@Carti1983 That's one of the stupidest things I've heard. Music is meant to be played, not in one specific style but in all styles. David Garrett takes this and makes it his own. Same with all of his other music that he does on tour. He changes it around and makes it the way he likes it. I personally like this song when it's super fast and I mean come on.. It's BEE song, its supposed to be fast.

[MissJessyeNorman]

@ConnorSurdiPhoto Music can be fast, but it still needs to comminicate something emotional. This is a very one note kind of performance, lacking in soul.

[MissJessyeNorman]

@ConnorSurdiPhoto  communicate (sp.)

[MissJessyeNorman]

@Carti1983 I agree! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MUSIC, NOT OLYMPIC TYPING. He's just phoning it in emotionally. And at the speed, how can you really do anything else? It's so sad that stuff like this usually gets more hits than great artists like Heifetz or Perlman.

[MrKebubu]

@MissJessyeNorman His arrangement of Humoresque is quite nice though. :)

[MekareWoW]

8 people with no taste....

[leftyfencer]

He always looks so happy when he's playing. It's really inspirational(:

[pprasasouk]

Sawyer got off the island to play violin.

[edantolin1]

[TheGOTHICMOON91]

[bleuproductions44444]

[WinsonBringsYou]

[96mohini]

O.o

[authorkaytlan101]

DAVID GARRET ROCKS!!! the flight of the bumblebee is always my favorite classical piece cuz its fast-paced and not boring, but he makes the regular sound intolerably slow :D

[Sayuurichan2101]

@authorkaytlan101 btw, if u love that piece, u can try and search on Youtube for the piano version played by Maksim Mrvica...it's awesome too

[zwampens]

its not that hard to do!!

[Maxill]

1 word.... NERD! xD

[MrJtg12]

@Maxill lol thats not nice! :)

[MJJLover2k9x]

he's amazing! that is sooo hard to do! my teacher has managed to do it in about 2.30.

[aryssa1995]

i did it just like this on the piano. it sounds so much like it.

[BreechesandBernard]

[joharlenys]

[LittleMsPrinzess]

ich wünschte ich könnte nur einigermassen so gut spielen.=(

[goldfortheworld]

yeah sure let me guess you live in the hight inteligent country usa^^

[PellimusPrime]

@goldfortheworld

:\ I'm not sure who you were insulting with that, but first of all, blanket statements don't tend to convey great wit when arguing, and second... you didn't spell it right. :\

[hibari80]

hey, he broke the world record, can your 4th grader in your school can do that? think b4 you write anything.

[djdakki]

you can't realy sound the differance, but he does it probably faster then anyone on this world.

[AnchePuschel]

[jaschenski]

Rubbish ...

[AnchePuschel]

[mennekein]

[mphen88]

wtf kind of comment is that? This guy's AMAZING!

[MastrettaTube]

hahaha

damm right

[1superch]

@mennekein

Wikipedia's entry of David Garrett (musician) begs to differ...

You can't fill 10+ CDs/DVDs etc with 4-5 songs...

Google (or whatever search-engine you use) things before you comment.

[Jedikeri]

He can play 13 notes a second!

[Emotionfullboy]

14...

[slytherin0queen]

i'm for sure in love

[AngelHunter1983]

I don`t know more to say than:

WOW!!!!!

[Ziggy1614]

he actually made me like this song

[shizukashiawase]

awesome!! ^^

[votremare]

Beautiful. I've been meaning to look this up for weeks, and I'm glad I finally got round to it.

[potchiboy123]

Pure Talent!

[hasilocki76]

[ductr27]

[Jaahja]

Thats sick! I wish I had started playing the violin when I was young.. If I had, I would have been among the best violin players in the world.. FUCK!

[mismatilda]

[FunkieFnatic2240]

[Inuyasha74112]

I no a guy that can play it better...... and he is wayyy hotter! :)

[abjafriggitywhoo]

[LauraScarborough]

Dont think so mate, not possible to be better looking than that!!!!!

[Violincrazy]

Doesnt he look like a pirate? Not that I can say much. I thought all girls fancied vengerov??!

[thorthedragon]

W0W he did awesome i cant do anythin close lol =(

[modzilla732k]

I took ages to learn an amateur version of this but did manage "wounded" bumblbee, by bettencourt on guitar, that took much longer. this guy is a top violinist and i would love to have seen him play with Grappelli. Sounds abound. Hope more want to learn classical music 'cos of this "VIRTUOSO"!

[PhoenixTears625]

wOW. HE'S REALLY REALLY GOOD. Being a violist i appreciate how hard it is to be able to play like that. He did an amazing job.

[biene71291]

I'm so proud that he's german^^

[WeezeeBaby19]

nope..actually born in germany..half german half american!!!

[kimbukhtu]

wtf!!!He is not a cheese virtouso!!!

[CHA122070]

WOW=o

[ThatSingerDude666]

Impressive to say the least. I can play this on a guitar and partially (though it doesn't sound as good) on bass, and on keyboard with a little innovation. But violin eludes me. He's very, very good.

[Sarahlizzio]

He is SO beautiful.. usually people make faces while playing, but he flashes that beautiful smile!!! :D

[jmoses5]

it was a strad that he broke and now they've lent him a slightly less expensive strad from the golden period to finish his uk tour on

[mbflindsey]

farfen nooget

[LaurensKoning]

He just broke his 290 year old Stradivarius! Repare cost are over milions....:P

[schilippe]

its actually like around 80.000 dollars...he could buy a new one for "millions"

[caalilwamo]

it was actually a Guadagnini

[schilippe]

no,...it was actually a strad

[sammyb334]

no. it was a guadagnini. he's playing on a strad now since it broke.

[sporksandknives44]

no I heard it was a Guadagnini

[Briggie07]

uh it was defff a Guadagnini.

he is a sexy beast =D

[anehtannyl]

no. He WAS on a guadagnini, it's now a strad he's being lent.

[schilippe]

you are all right, the first reports were that it was actuallt a strad, but now i see that it was a guadagnini. i would not trust him with a strad...

[plare1960]

Hummelflug... geil!!!

[FtOdaM]

geiler TYP-echt!

super Geiger!

alles alles gute für IHM!

[atenaide]

oltre ad essere un eccellente violinista,è anche un ragazzo stupendo,affascinante,unico!

Vorrei tanto essere il suo violino..

[fernrd]

Marvellous performer Just seen him at the Albert hall Myrtle

[goldykate]

l uomo piu figo del mondo..ed è pure perfetto violinisticamente!!! è da sposare...

[hihidoraemon]

[jotadg]

[terry820]

Be careful, Mr. Garrett, that you don't get trigger finger. Slow down just a teensy weensy.

[pinkprincess8910]

[KOFwhiz]

[mskaren987]
