What type of bass is she using?

[Jst0Lve]

I love that he says apple, but then switches back to books :)

[crazyinsaane]

haha every time he plays no, i can't he uses different nouns. i love that.

[SenorSlopez]

Here he reminds me of a combination between Pee Wee Herman and Norman Bates, both in appearance and a bit in personality...

[airjordinzz]

@SenorSlopez haha! i can see that, minus any spookiness, he also reminds me of bronson pinchot

It's amazing to see tMG so young!

[mqKrem]

"I don't think a career in music is any way to live" well, he always has been the king of ironic statements...

[ironuckles]

@mqKrem He never tried to live as a musician, though. From interviews, it sounds like he was sort of pained to leave his job and tour year-round.

[mqKrem]

@ironuckles That's definitely not true in more recent years though. He made a comment on his twitter specifically about this video - it went something like "Hey young JD, maybe being a successful career musician isn't so bad, you should try it sometime". You really can't argue that he hasn't done a 180 from his previous attitude. I don't think the '95 JD in this video would consider performing on Letterman or at Lollapalooza, for instance.
