[HyperCrescendo]

does anyone else get the sudden urge to donate blood after listening to this? =/

[wendall101]

@HyperCrescendo that was the farthest thing from my mind when watching this video. lmao.

[sean90knight]

fuck yeah the reason i got dreads, and still cuts them off for charity fucking good cunt

[ipodkitty]

Truly fantastic! What a relief from the non-talented talent of today...

[GrandGuru1]

HIs voice is kinda like Anthony Kiedis! (red hot chili peppers)

[andmcg1]

@GrandGuru1 Yeah, I can hear it. The main difference is that John Butler can sing! Don't get me wrong, I love RHCP, but John Butler is much more talented.

[GrandGuru1]

@andmcg1 Totally agree mate, I'm not a big fan of RHCP myself I just thought he sounded like him :D

[sublime2341]

takes the mind off the bullshit for about 3 minutes

[NikolaiHatesZOMBAGS]

I have his first recordings because my parents saw him in fremantle when he was just playing for cash on the curb and they bbrought 1 of his tapes and now look at him! he has so much talent

[osiris05au]

john butler does not drink, smoke or take drugs. stop your stereotypical bullshit

[Anysound89]

dude its not stereotypical...i didnt say he was high i said he looks it. not because hes in the john butler trio or because hes a musician you made that connection. i wrote it simply because i noticed that i look like that when im high. whos stereotypically thinking here?

[trolm3]

Man stfu and stop making accusations.

[thekrazykaveman]

then clearly he's an L 7 weenie. Hurray for drugs!

[mustanglp50]

hahaha, havent heard that one since the 90s

[brycecake2]

@osiris05au bullSHIT. listen to his song busted.

[jodydawg]

Being a big fan of accoustic rock, classic or the more contemporary genres like this one, I would love to hear and see more bands "or trios" who have made it or are hoping to break through, in this format,well done, great video...

[Anysound89]

[xxderiennnnnnxx]

[xxderiennnnnnxx]

hahaha nicee:D

[jimbob9578]

get a life

[kiedis007]

GIL

[PlasmaSilver11]

this like broke the limits of the banjo

PURE AWESOME!

[innocentsinrocks123]

I wudnt say that... theres alot better banjo playin but it put it in to a nice groove context wich is awsum

[BenEzraSoundProject]

PlasmaSilver11, I'd say Bela Fleck 'broke the limits of the banjo'. It's nice to hear it used in such a laid-back groove here, but if you want to talk about pushing the envelope, Bela's excursions into funk, jazz, fusion and classical are definitely worth a listen.

[PlasmaSilver11]

never heard of that name might listen to it

[dj21rity]

A fuckin amazing love your work guys

[SkullCrusherMistress]

i totally have to learn how to play banjo!

[tomyoulegend]
