Hunter Thompson The Crazy Never Die Part 1 RARE footage

[vidiot9]

A saint. A prophet. My hero.



[ZappaIsAgod17]

@colinjc5 Wait?!?! How does he act?

[SeaBassAndJeanJacket]

240p we meet again

[Basoflakes]

The left never had and never will have another Gonzo. Too bad. Sometimes a group needs someone like Thompson. Imagine a soup with Hunter, Moore, Nader, Chomsky, Democracy Now and simmer it and elect it. We might even have a real country then.

[knightofcydonia1000]

he was just about to say and....

[KidsWithGuns1992]

@nuckinfuts32330 Yeah, he did a good job at playing his alter ego. I reckon Bill Murray was very good as well, mind you he played the actual Thompson.

[badfish13]

Love this. Wish he were still alive

[NatureGnome]

If u don't like Hunter ur just a dirty little cock sucker.

[bennyvega100]

talk about foreseeing the future...HST is the greatest

[neonails1]

i think alot of ppl missed his message about yeah these are crap times but we make our own bed to lie in so make your life a good and weird one "buy the ticket,take the ride!" brad xo

[angelinodecaesteker]

us, poor bastards, are starting to see the bats man, (fucking lady gaga)

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

Filthy Gerbil. LOL

[GonzoREDSUNS]

Just think...If we all had listened to hunter when he was alive instead of condemning him,we would not be in the shit we are today!!....Shame on those swine!!

~RIP GONZO~

[BarryPuppetSoetoro61]

Really needs Subtitles!

[fum4sa]

beatfull people *.*

[bennyvega100]

This is GREAT! HST is my political hero!!! Tell it like it is Hunter!

[MUTE8able]

the Dr is in everyone of us now. it is our civil duty to continue the professional weirdness.

great post, thank you for sharing.

[seccaman3]

HST was a genius and waaay ahead of the times....6:42. Hunter called it 25 or so years before it happened

[cheats59]

happy 420 were i am at HUNTER IS FTW!

[MarkBade]

Read everything by Thompson....Just about....He got me back into reading all the time....I read all genres, but this guy made it fun to dive into books....

[RakehellRow]

"She's a wild, heavy, elegant old bitch." Amazing! Great post!

[MikeMcGantic]

jesus...this is classic...i dont know how or where you got ahold of this awesome recording but thanks so much for uploading it.

hunter was a true american...and is sorely missed.

[hippyhoward]

A true mutant

[mjcart03]

@Newworldfortomorrow Duke and Thompson are one in the same, only difference is Duke admits to committing multiple felonies, Thompson does not.

[Newworldfortomorrow]

@mjcart03 Yeah I know, thats what I was trying to say, basically Duke is another life for Thompson, and he said he doesnt know how to act, as himself or Duke when he goes to places as he doesnt understand who they expect

[Newworldfortomorrow]

He acts more like Raoul Duke than himself here, as he has said himself, he went to places and things like this and didnt know who people expected, Duke or Thompson.

[luvrip4life]

Raoul Duke was just a name. I don't think the two have different personalities at all.

[Newworldfortomorrow]

@luvrip4life Only repeating what Hunter himself said lol

[luvrip4life]

@Newworldfortomorrow Oh LOL

[cheats59]

@luvrip4life i agree. if you watch behavior like me. they act As 1 person. read the book watch the movies and then watch how hunter acts.

[Treadsoftly14]

makes me want 10000 more hours of this.

[mindstormsabrewin]

A true American. A man concerned with genuine personal freedom. I miss him.

[krugin72]

It's great to see footage of porn pioneers the Mitchell Brothers. (Jim and Artie RIP)

Its also great to see the O'Farrell theater in its heyday. RIP Hunter you were an inspiration to us all...

[djdannymoore]

sure would like to know what Gonzo would be talking about these daze.....

[14111taft]

8:38 ??

[GunGemini]

my favorite writer.

LONG LIVE HUNTER

[yaplamf]

"NOW WE'RE HERE!!!!!" hahaha classic

[theoldbeagle7]

read smoking in bathrooms if you want a new direction...

[smurfdizzle]

@theoldbeagle7 Stop spamming your shit novel on a video about one of the greatest writers of all-time. Thx.

[JAKMACK12]

The fuck is this?!

[TheSoundboardGuy]

Back then, people like HST were the superstars of the time. Now we have Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus. If someone like HST existed today and had as much of an impact as Hunter did, he would be assassinated by the government., or a mass media campaign to make them look like the biggest piece of shit on Earth. What the fuck happened to the world?

[Khrystene]

@TheSoundboardGuy You.

[TheSoundboardGuy]

@Khrystene Child molester.

[mackerelsaba]

He's not dead, he just went away.

[Johnno3D]

he was a great guy, I love this psycho xD

[420barley]

Looks like the HULT Center to me.

[OM3N1R]

The borderline of insanity produces the greatest art.

Hunter is a testament to that.

[muttilo]

Love Hunter excuse for being late to the paper !!He woulda been fucked in this era of the cell phone

[spiralcosmosart]

So I take it this is at the University of Oregon Campus? Perhaps Portland State Univesity?, but definitely not OSU.

[TheGreatGonzoMan]

Fuck the Ducks... they ain't Gonzo enough for Hunter

[spiralcosmosart]

No personal loyalties to any of those Universities Even though I don't live far from Eugene.

[420barley]

@spiralcosmosart Looks like the HULT Center to me.

[otteboulder]

He really is a true symbol of a real America

[waiting4thesun64]

this is great. unscripted Hunter at his best. farout. wish he didnt leave us

[chon4186]

ROFL at the guy at the very beginning losing steam and then getting brutally shut up by the crowd and then he caved saying "Hunter Thompson everyone!"

[bigboss25262]

What year was this convention?

[deadside26]

died way too young

everything happens for a reason

[roflcopterzsz]

@deadside26 yeah he did have a reason, he killed himself because he felt trapped in life, he couldnt do the things he loved anymore. He lived 17 years longer than he expected or even wanted to.

[muttilo]

@roflcopterzsz He was a crippled and in a wheelchair didn't have any but that to look foward too !He said Fuck this I'm 67 !

[bigboss25262]

He was so amazing man, truly a person.

[lucifari999]

you will be missed sir

[aaronamccoy]

this some stony footage

[Deathfromthesky2112]

We need a man like him for these doomed times

[Melpond]

@Deathfromthesky2112 people say things like this, but the simple fact is, you don't realize what a legend is until after the fact. you think Stephen Colbert trolling the president for an hour from 10 feet away won't go down in history?

[TheLargeJesus]

@Melpond Hunter was special dude, and i'm not a fanatic, he's just a hero, a rebel and a complete different kettle of fish to Stephen Colbert, Colberts a funny man, but Hunter was a visionary.

[mikeyadjective]

@Deathfromthesky2112 Well, we actually had him, and it killed him. 

[smackythefrog23]

@Deathfromthesky2112 you know, Hunter always DID talk about the urgent and consuming need to kill of the Raoul Duke commonly perceived persona... Just a Thought...

[battenwood]

@Deathfromthesky2112 Well, Charlie Sheen is doing his best to emulate him, I would say.

I realize the talent level is quite different but the attitude is very similar, IMHO.

[phillipbailey70]

@battenwood prescient, don't you think..? Kudos...

[OneUserNameLeft]

@Deathfromthesky2112

these doomed times are beyond even his tolerance. he offed himself. shows how bad these times are. we need the next thompson. he was able to change perspective of all those events cause he experienced them without being a factor. he would be too famous to truly have an pure unbiased look at our system of a down.

[allstar752]

thats one of the great things about hunter, is say what you want about him or that on this but watch his films read his books. cause if you do you will find out he really dont give a fuk about what people think of him

[numbersevensharpie]

quit being complete lame asses and just enjoy that thompson!

when the going gets werid the weird turn pro.

[pocketfullofkush]

id like to eat some acid with hunter....fucking mind blowing.

[crispexi]

holy crap i have THE exact same radio as he is holding in 4:50

[SethHesio]

Which year was this?

[jodhpurs]

hunter became popular in an era when health and safety became an obsessive-compulsive disorder

He was our king-hell risk-taker.

So it's only natural that he provokes a health and safety message or two even after his death.

Law & Order is on its way. Move along now, move along, nothing to see here, move along. And remember your essential handgun rules at all times. Write them in bullet points - but make sure they're blanks.

[raymazarek]

dont waych it then

[4opProductions]

Cause hipsters suck man, and they dont know shit about HST.

[Byrian420]

i have jimson weed how do i consume it without dying or going crazy thanks

[wamukota]

don't do it... or at least find someone who is very very very experienced with it

[pm2007est]

this is fiing hilarious, What was your mother like? "She's a wild, heavy, elegant, old bitch. Really a hard rocker." "You people have uhh not done well here have you."

[jedeyez1]

thank god for you blaze!

this thing is over a hundred a copy on V.H.S, for god sakes..

May the lord bless and keep your twisted, little soul.

-Mahalo!

[johnlinwoodforman]

3:42-3:50 Fucking Amazing.

[reddog543]

Thompson pointed the muzzle of the firearm at the other guy several times in this video.

That should NEVER be done.

Four Basic Handgun Safety Rules:

Treat ALL firearms as if they were loaded.

DO NOT point at or cover anything with the muzzle until ready to shoot.

Keep trigger finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot.

Be certain of your target and your line of fire.

This is just common sense.

[GonzoEnthusiast]

fuck you. I would have trusted HST more than anyone in the world with a loaded gun pointed at my head. who the fuck are you to lecture? shiteyes

[reddog543]

Wow, how "gonzo".

Since I'm not a moron, I would never permit ANY person to point a gun at my head, no matter how "cool" he is.

Guns don't worship celebrities the way worthless, bootlicking ciphers like you do.

[djmushi]

typical dumb american. You are probably a fat fucker also...

[felix8084]

Hunter S Thompson is the best

[mlawren7]

in comemoration to HST, I just rolled and smoked a joint... at work! Gonzo!

[medic8edman]

That's not Gonzo, you pinhead. And HST was about a lot more than just drugs. He would probably ridicule you for that idiotic statement.

[mlawren7]

c'mon, lighten up.

[luvrip4life]

he would have been like "right on man" your the fuckin stiff that needs to lighten up and smoke a joint

[shay10chief]

Fuck that crowd. What a bunch of heckling cocksuckers. That guy that said "so what" should be shot!

[muttilo]

It was the godforsakkin' late 1980's so the Douche-bag quota was pretty alto !

[LeroyRifkin]

You should be shot, i don't think you understand what he meant when he said "so what". I thought it was quite clever.

[drewsiferdrew]

No, they wern't trying to bust Thompson, the man just has such witty responses that they wanted to hear him respond to them.

I think that anybody who wants to be mad genius should start writing some interesting thoughts. Thats how you can have interesting things to say like that. They just pop up in your mind and you say them; only, you had written them in a journal the night before. practice.

[DrFrizzeh]

"Ronald Regan has endorsed the book of revelations as sort of a sketchy guideline for the '80s"

high brow joke. I lol'ed

[FearandLoathinginSD]

Hunter S. Thompson is a genius...a mad genius!

[redtape420]

watch out....aaron mitchell doesnt like people sharing this film.

[333wtf333]

Yea, and, so, what?

[geluid2006]

thanks, keep it up.

from amsterdam with love

[ludwigvan17]

I'm confused. Was the crowd busting on him?

[229095]

It sounds like a shit crowd.

[cmomofilm]

I think a lot of the morons in the audience have come because theyve heard of hunter and the hype that goes with him. I doubt theyve read much if any of his stuff.

[skott1090]

yes but you have to hear about him some how to want to read his work

[lesscunning]

god who were those nimrods in the audience? anyway. hunter's comment on don regan & jim baker were funny & spot on. he was still a great political commentator, well into the 80's...

[solargesture]

jealous much of these nimrods are we? i know i am, i wish i could make some dumb ass remarks in this vid and have hunter be cool enough to not call me a nimrod

[lesscunning]

i think its relative. and subjective...the nimrod thing...

[cmomofilm]

Ah, you confused him with logic!

[lesscunning]

confused logic. hmmm...

[lesscunning]

maybe i am jealous of those nimrods: is that a motherfucking CRIME?

[timlarsson81]

"My mother? Shes a wild, heavy, elegant beast!"

[FolkeBernadotte]

"bitch" but beast is OK too.

[PureBlood420]

he said bitch. i liked that part to

[PaulieBoythe1st]

Goddamn! Hunter & Tom Waits sound a lot alike (c:a 0:40-0:50) Thnx a million for posting, HST was an awesome ol' freak :) R.I.P.

[catastrophiasco]

how is it not "rare"?

[puppyskullz420]

well i havent seen it so its rare to me

[catastrophiasco]

cheers

[huntersthompsonaudio]

This isn't "rare"

[drinkyourtea]

the crazy never die they just get old

[sidv192]

Hunter handles a hostile crowd like the ball of flx shit they pretend to be. Hard to out hunter, hunter.

[RacerEckss]

MY Man!!!

[Kullg4r]

"First thing he did was strip the insane out of all the mental facilities"

"NOW WE'RE HERE!"

Think that guy spoiled Hunter's punch line, lol.

[JamesD567]

amazing! Thanks for uploading!!!

[Gonzoroy]

'87 - I was at part two

[HelterSkelter085]

what year was this? very interesting stuff.

[modshroom]

Hunter Thompson owns.

[ipushufall]

I can't believe this is on here! Awesome!

[crackerjohnnybravo42]

"You DIRTY sock, you dirty STUPID bastard" when HST says that to you, you feel it crawl down your spine

[medicrow]

oh wow this is a rare gem. good spirits for uploading this mate

[hutchenberg]

Many thanks for posting this! Outstanding!

[timlarsson81]

Pretty unique footage for youtube i´d say, and something id wanted to see! This is great. This needs to get out to the greater croud of HST fans than 700 people+!

[braillebraille]

Chest bump for uploading, sir!

[Tris10]
