Beijing Olympics drummers performance

[Amitabchyn]

Chinese good in making real stuff looks like CG!!

[legokingmike]

You guys sure its not CGI

[keiththeaxeman1]

i feel sorry for us Brits, i believe our opening ceremony will be good, but to be honest, not many ceremonies in olympics to come are going to top the chinese one, that was just insane. its just we had to be the next one in line so everyone is going to compare us to the beijing olypics.

oh well :P

[piwo]

@keiththeaxeman1

That will be your punishment for stealing the olympics from us :D

(I'm French...)

[AnaisEngland]

@piwo Bad loser.

[piwo]

@AnaisEngland I was obviously kidding - as my ':D' shows...

I still love your country, though the brits I know have a better sense of humor than the one you just displayed :)

[AnaisEngland]

@piwo I do have a good sense of humour. Sorry if I misunderstood you - I didn't notice the :D and to be honest I've never seen one before. So here's one for you :D.

[piwo]

@AnaisEngland That's ok :)

Anyway I hope you guys will make something big for the olympics. London is such a fantastic city. Wish all the best to the people of great britain for 2012. But of course I will be supporting France!

[keiththeaxeman1]

@piwo @anaisengland finaly a conversation on youtube where two people havent been arguing lol

[keiththeaxeman1]

@piwo lol did we steal it from you ?

[Timerooy]

They have a very strong sense of community, the culture seems very strong.

And yeah, vid would be much better if the commentators just shut the hell up.

[TheMaoriViking]

Jesus Christ, thats fuckin insane!



[LeGrandAnonyme]

POWER !

[shaw590]

amazing!!!!



[QinDynasty2008]

Did. You hear that girl scream at the end of the drums. She had consecutive orgasms

[shamelesshussy]

Good lord, make the commentators STOP TALKING! 

[w0Iverine]

the commentators should just stfu, they are so bad

[MostEnvious]

Its gonna be hard to top that opening performance. Can't believe I missed it.

[89wheelz89]

say what you will about china, we all know the UK games will be nothing like 2008 games

[TehBird]

Imagine being in the middle ages and this was waiting outside your gates.

[CMob09]

I did'nt like the way they critiziced them all through it by saying it was old and historic not modern enough.

Your history is your culture and your culture evolved from your history !

[CMob09]

This was the most awesome ceremony I have ever seen, but it's a shame most of them are forced to do this.

[LoboPreto]

@CMob09 don't be ridiculous! Any drummer would be proud to be part of a performance that big! This is one occasion on which I don't think any force was needed.

[yongngeetay123]

@CMob09 Sorry that you're misinformed by CNN or BBC biased-media, they're NOT forced to do the performance and be part of this ceremony. These volunteers queued from Forbidden City to the Bird Nest Stadium hoping to be take part.

[WorkForBacon]

did that guy at 2:06 mess up? Off with his head!!

[Frutoses]

Every major event should be held in Beijing every time.

[physicsiscrazy]

Holy Cow! That was massive!!!!! Take that, world!

[physicsiscrazy]

俺们中国一个Olympic把世界给镇住了！哈哈哈！

[blaise22222]

在国外一年半，再看这段视频，才知道外国人眼中的中国，吓死他们­丫的。

[BrightStaroftheDawn]

The Chinese sure know how to greet people.

Beautiful and respected performance.

[Subliminallll]

Am I the only one that wishes the commentators would shut the fuck up? I do have eyes and ears, I'm trying to enjoy what they're picking up, not your patronising, bullshit facts about what we're seeing. Other than that, this shit makes me lose all hope for London's ceremony, as it's out of this world!

[WildWindyWillows]

This makes me quite proud that i'm chinese :)

[BrightStaroftheDawn]

@WildWindyWillows

It almost makes me jealous that I'm not.;)

Much respect to you.

[arminbAUT]

0:11 wtf is wrong with his arm?

[karmlan123]

@arminbAUT That guy obviously was injured on his arm before. Is there anything wrong he is performing in this ceremony?

[arminbAUT]

@karmlan123 no it just looks funny, chill. he and his 133,337 friends did a great job.

[americanpsycho93]

how did i get here from Indiana Jones being raped?  =)

[Shortfilmsyou]

@americanpsycho93 South Park? XD

[bigg34691]

UBER DRUMLINE!!!!

[flybirdy12347]

LOL!!!!!! guy messing up at 2:06

[bloodelfincage]

These ppl coulz stop sopa and pipa by just one of those red sticks....long live 9gag!

[adeelsonuadi]

YOU CAN NEVER STOP CHINA !!!!!!

[PrinceBased]

imagine what the british ceremony is gonna be.......i get bored just thinking about it

[AnaisEngland]

@PrinceBased Why so negative? I was captivated by the drummers when I watched them back in 2008. However, impressive as they undoubtedly are, it is not so much in our nature to be regulated en masse. Just enjoy it for whatever it is. We don't need to be anything but ourselves.

[vitasoy1437]

really love this opening ceremony even though being a chinese i hate the government a lot. this is just impressive...

[bagi365]

I am trying to spot Cartman running between them, but I just cant.

[MaloneyGuitars]

@bagi365 He's the one that ran right in between those 2 Chinese drummers with the orange sticks at the end when they were all waving.

[Neverninja]

How awesome would it be if they were all part of the Blue Man Group? And instead of drums they had pvc pipes? Think how loud it would be

[slytherinnyc]

LONDON must be shizzing their pants right now.... how can you surpass this let alone just coming close????

[ThatMeatalGuy123]

@slytherinnyc just get queen, The Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin to perform

[slytherinnyc]

@ThatMeatalGuy123 even if her majesty queen elizabeth dances to macarena wont do.. i dont think... but those 3 would be awesome.

[PANDORASBOXRELEASE]

from a distance it looks like a 1000 chinese men banging there head on a 1000 tables

[iLLivin]

ravetastic



[iLLivin]

these drummers are more disciplined than the US military

[TheGroovybear17]

i dont care about any of the problems that we have with China, this is pretty fucking awesome

[consrignornt]

@TheGroovybear17 you're an idiot

[2011Decision]

This is nothing; North Korea can do better. These are not just commies - they are second rate commies. What's with the pugnacious "we've arrived" attitude? The only thing these commies do well is reverse engineering.

[hehefromhere]

yup, they are going to take over the world :D

[freshkiidintown101]

not ganna lie Beijing kill it

[TelpPov]

@freshkiidintown101 yeah? cause no one after this can ever surpass it.

[MrDeverill]

Is it racist to say that this wouldn't have been as effective anywhere else because say if it was done here in England we wouldn't all look the same.

[DualFrodo]

@MrDeverill yes lol

[MrDeverill]

@DualFrodo Bugger.

[grgirard]

Is this from THE LORD OF THE RINGS? I remember the orcs in less rayon...

[Jamezzz99]

@Jimmyretired. Actually , England doesint have any Nukes , They belong to Scotland.

[MrBigtube17]

i think the thing in the ear till them when to hit it

[tinchitus1]

EN EL MINUTO 2:05 HAY UNO QUE SE LE CORRE EL CUADRADO Y PARA PARA ARREGLARLE MG SI LO VISTE!!

[blauerninja]

amazing coordination

[alicebeaa]

good luck london



[Glorenzelg1]

This is way more frightening than the Hakka! :D

[xtc340]

Why the fuck is a Welshman talking over this?

[HODDESDON1]

how many of them did that?

[twa96]

@HODDESDON1 apparently 2008

[tsingyuan]

@HODDESDON1

2008. The same number as the year.

[Phayase]

@HODDESDON1 2008

[Jimmyretired]

CHINA AND INDIA ARE WEAK, I CANT WAIT TILL ENGLAND FUCKES THEM BOTH UP WITH nukes

[MsJapaneseCherryPoP]

@Jimmyretired >:D ur racist, colored people ROCK! you'll never beat China ^_^

that's all i'm gonna say to youz~ no argument :p

[blacklaster]

Control C, Control V. Control C, Control V. Control C....:p

[GaladedridDamodred]

Godless liberty-hating commies, but at least you can say that China doesn't do things half heartedly!

[Bostonian91]

Could have wiped out the poverty within China and then some.. but who cares about that 'ey :)

[tackyman2011]

How do you say "totally kick-ass" in Chinese?

[lackers1999]

i bet this scared the shit out of the new zealanders

[john18449]

i like this video

[videosearcherwhenbor]

Raises the bar so freakin high. Good luck London... lol

[fmh654]

please chinese dont buy ivory look what happened to the tiger because of chinese medicine i beg chinese dont buy ivory

[herogamer555]

there will never be another opening ceremony as good as this for the next 100 years.

[sunmoonstargood]

@herogamer555, I agree. When there is fair & open competition, we Chinese are at our best.

[utubemaster047]

London doesn't stand a chance. Fast forward to Brazil

[HunteEro]

guy at 0:12 plays with a broken left arm lol

[watup2154]

Amazing --- I hope China Host Olympics again --- i missed 2008 Beijing Olympics ---

China is a Country of 1000 COLORS --- each one more Sparkling and more Beautiful than the previous one --- may China Spread the light of Knowledge + Brotherhood + hard + honest work to the Rest of the World

[hakan91]

Dum dum dum, the chinese wardrums beat terror into their enemies. The war of the worlds commences. Thats kinda the feeling I got.

[aionline]

dude at 02:07 out of sync



[icecoldisaac86]

overblown shit... if london is like this I'm moving to australia. No lie.

[aionline]

@icecoldisaac86 good for you. go play with a kangaroo there.

[ashh120]

how is London gonna live up to this :/

[DeesertDawn]

@ashh120 It's not gonna live up to this, simple as that. Actually, I don't think any country will be able to come anything near to China's brilliance.

[pungtor]

China is amazing

[willkiann]

wow i did amaze me

[santalazy]

I doubt that London Olympic 2012 can do better than this.. Lets wait and see :)

(it's a challenge)

[twa96]

@santalazy our Prime Minister has just released an extra £48 million for the opening ceremony. God help us!

[Sukidesunya]

@twa96 i heard england was already deep in debt... what is the government doing!?

[jeremylweintraub]

that was terrifying

[Firezlinger]

I totaly remember watching this on tv almost 3 and a half years ago :D

[Thisguywhokills]

USA 0 China 10000

[walperstyle]

ugh... just got to the cometary part of the video. Lame.

[Hem3fiction]

1:51 they all look like parasites :S

[OMGitsAcoww]

Is it racist to say they all look the same?

[randmnumber]

wish the commentators would shut the fuck up

[Spfreak1717]

Danny Bowle,you're a crack but a opening ceremony like this is insuperable

[GoldenHawk93]

This is so impressive!

[SnappyPenguins]

v Damn, I just lost the game, lol! xD

[SnappyPenguins]

This is way better than the games! :D

[csrrules]

Whats going on with that guys arm at 0:12 or is it not his arm? :P

[boarderdude74]

it was the best opening ceremony ever for olympics games and good luck to england to up the ante on this! does anyone know where i can buy the cd of 2008 beijing olympics?

[ChrisFederico]

Can't we all just get along ? Its 2012 and we are still calling each other names and saying horrible things to one another . At least we can enjoy our last year on the face of Earth in peace .. (That was a joke ) :)

[skittlehappymatt]

if south park never made fun of this i would have never known

[MrsMattBellamy10]

GOD HOW ARE WE ENGLISH PEOPLE GONNA BEAT THAT? OH YEAH WE HAVE MUSE ;) Although this video is epic :D The precision is magnificent!!

[AAMLfan]

China sure knows how to do EPIC.

[afreijat]

wow. love from america.

[YukiHeaven]

China can teach us how to make a great opening ceremony. CHINA RULEZ

[FuturesCEO]

So many idiots with their flash on... Awesome other than that!

[Lord6of9Uk]

anyone else see this after watching that South Park episode on china!!? had to look this up.

[lebaneseameer]

Holy SHIT!! How do you get thousands of people to be choreographed almost flawlessly? Make sure they're Chinese!! I saw a few mistakes, BUT that's good! Because if it was absolute perfection, that would have been absolutely terrifying!!! lol

[OTUFilms]

@lebaneseameer North Koreans; before the death of Kim Jong-Dead

[mrtalksalot]

does anyone know the ending song?

[MrHuangyong]

@mrtalksalot you and me

[hexapod2000]

Look at all these jealous comments about China. Lets wait till London 2012 and see what happens.

[Audovauld]

This is still as energizing and exciting to me as it was when I watched it live almost four years ago. What a magical culture and a tremendous display of artistry and pride in heritage. I don't want to create a sense of expectation for London but I have a nagging suspicion I will be underwhelmed. Tough act to follow!

[karmlan123]

Hey WARMONGER you again?!!

100 medals is a gigantic jump for a country started with only few medals just few Olympic Games away.

WARMONGER you are doomed. Your next generations are in deeeeeeeep debt and has nothing nutritious to eat and to compete in next games.

WARMONGER forgotten the lesson of 11 Sept 2001 while the whole world remember why it happened. Think why sane and highly educated ppl willing to sacrifice their life to BOMB yr twin towers. THINK!!!

[1952YOU1320TUBE1952]

@karmlan123

wake up the tower's were an inside job

[karmlan123]

@1952YOU1320TUBE1952 Thank you! Give you some TUR SAI!!

[awesomeandy1997]

I wonder how many likes this video would have if the Chinese have excess to Youtube? ;)

[TheSalmonfan]

@awesomeandy1997

When the mainland Chinese have access to YT, it means the spring of democracy has arrived to China, and probably the end of the PRC.

PRC is like any Chinese dynasty in Chinese history, is bound for failure. Just wait & see.

[Vaioleto]

@TheSalmonfan Salmonfan, I just wanted to say that you must be the most ignorant and obnoxious anti-China shill in the first 5 pages of this youtube video. Seriously dude, shut the fuck up, you sound like an ass.

[TheSalmonfan]

@Vaioleto

None of my posts contains any hate speech, while you're proving nothing but you're an ignorant thug.

[karmlan123]

That warmonger bombed IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, VIETNAM, thousands of miles away from their border. They're now trying to stir thing in South China Sea trying to confront their largest creditor. What a big joke!

This is the ONLY nation on this planet that do thing so arrogant.

The warmonger has been BULLYING around all the while & make the whole world think deeply why Sept 11 2001 happened. The whole world know why except the warmonger. KARMA IS REAL!!!

[noxure]

Shut up and listen, fucking British cunts!

[karmlan123]

In case some do not know what the hell is TUR SAI, ask your troops that just return from IRAQ what they had feed IRAQI prisoners. Also, ask what did British feed the Chinese in 1839.

Sound familiar? Check it out how the rest of the world look at arrogant people in this planet.

Karma is real. The whole world is witnessing real karma to warmonger in the coming years. It has already started. For most peace lover, it is exciting to see the whole world change.

[JennaHaze2000]

@karmlan123 We cannot ask all our soilders what happened in iraq because they were killed trying to help iraqi people they have never met before.

[karmlan123]

Reason many RATS put shit comment here is due to 8/8/2008 opening, the world is suddenly SHOCKED!! that China is so STRONG & POWERFUL!!

Then some realize that they previously looked down, bullied, interfered & even invade China, are AFRAID that China will take revenge. So they do EVERYTHING to prevent China from growing. Dirty trick such as bad-mouthed & condemned China in Youtube, CNN & BBC.

Seriously, these people, I invite them to eat TUR SAI!!! It's FREE for BANKRUPTOR!! Just nice.

[TheSalmonfan]

@karmlan123

Chinese Olympic performance was not as strong as you think. China got 100 medals from a population of 1.35 billion, while Japan has 25 medals, from a population of 125 millions.

Tell me, which country did better on a per head / capita basis ?

Don't forget, China was the host nation which usually does a lot better. China won't have 100 medals next Olympic games, I can assure you.

[moonphoenix1]

@TheSalmonfan

Oh please.

[belgeselce]

@TheSalmonfan China is still a poor country.

[karmlan123]

Why don't those RAT putting RAT comments here please go and eat some FREE TUR SAI!!

Good for BANKRUPTOR.

Thank you very much for provoking and making China so POWERFUL today.

[2138red]

this is so amazing!! the drumming kinda messed with my eyes though> they kept going out of focus. but oh man it was just AMAZING. theres no way this opening ceremony will ever be beat. 

[FeelingSpiffee]

This gives me chills. It's just so amazing.

It also makes me feel like an untalented fish but you know whatever

[hellomoonman]

chinese people are like scary robots, programmed to scream the propaganda of Confucius. COVER YOUR EARS, AVERT YOUR EYES! THEY ARE BRAINWASHING YOU

[frdrcksncn]

@hellomoonman What did Confucious that's propaganda? lol

[SooSiaal]

Watching any part of this performance always makes me think of Cartman and Butters saying "herro prease"

[piero101]

we are so fucked.

[SuJuKiJe]

PERFECT <3 !!!! This was the Best ceremony I saw in my Life and for ever <3 <3 <3 <3

[TheKatcore]

haha southpark cartman

[TheManInBlack2003]

fucking psychos!

[CopperheadViper]

Gee. Sounds kinda like "WE WILL DESTROY YOU" to me. I liked Vancouver much better.

[CutieCanadian91]

It was then that I realized..you don't mess with the chinese

[karmlan123]

Again, TUR SAI is available for FREE for those keep bashing China.

Continue your hatred, nothing will stop China to grow strong and powerful day by day.

Enjoy your free TUR SAI while don't forget to pay your DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP DEBT!

[JennaHaze2000]

Hitler Olympic opening was way better.

[JustDexterShow]

Wish the British commentators would shut up!

[hokum23]

they look like transistors



[davethedrummer1]

I wonder if they replaced the actual drummers with "good looking" people, like they did that one little girl singer. Fuck the Chinese.

[karmlan123]

@davethedrummer1 Thank you, you should eat TUR SAI? It is free of charge for bankruptor.

[JennaHaze2000]

@davethedrummer1 They were too busy censoring the internet to do that

[a0921959210]

fuck you

[dredericktotem1245]

Dawn of the Dead people. Dawn of the Dead. Wait till they get hungry they will eat your brains.

[TwilightFire]

Imagine how much time and effort it took to get THAT many people to do this! Holy cow... Devotion...dedication...

[dHmongDudecAncOOk]

Just imagine china going to war and all you hear is these drums you don't even want to know what follows

[PIDMF]

coolll

[noctifa]

amazing

[rs9219]

I feel a bit like Cartman xD

[Coontree]

It does look sweet though...

[Coontree]

HEY LOOK, ITS MY FRIEND, JACKIE CHAN, oh, wait

[toxicdswii]

this reminded me of that south park episode =0 haha

[Blitz7711]

This is astonishing. It's a bit like Where's Wally though. O.o
