[Wackelpuddiification]

[BobblyFlower]

[jolis2]

nobody cares if your rich or succesfull as long as youv got good friends can go out have a good time get absolutely smashed without wanting to fight and be open to make new friends in all environments then geuss what your probably a Frank Turner fan

[makro9000]

And we're definitely going to hell,

But we'll have all the best stories to tell

fuck yeah!

[mrpablopablo1]

I listen to this whenever I feel down... Then I feel on top of the fucking world.

Frank Turner - Legend

[xxspliffsmokexx]

God damn this is so good.

[StrawberryFeilds19]

I was there. One of the best live performances I have ever had the privilege to witness.

[cinder2k7]

Frank Turner just makes life better

[tarpster77]

This is gonna be incredible at Wembley

[xArwenUndomiel]

I believe this is my favourite youtube video ever.

[ivannivan101]

look at his smile as he walks off stage... the most down to earth and talented musician of his generation. He was awesome in million dead, but you have to say that this is better..

[Oblivaddict]

One small song for man, One giant fucking orgasm of a track for mankind.

[rockguru123]

Manchester Apollo, 26th November. I'll be there loud and fucking proud.

[rinkeysribber]

FUCKING AWESOME

[27natedogg1]

i can litteraly say i will see frank turner in hell! can't wait for saturday

[purplepoison656]

including the girls.

[lamecamera]

Frank Turner song of the day #100.......inspiring

[OMGitsafish96]

HE COMES FROM WINCHESTER? THATS LIKE REALLY CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE :D

[jaamiesutton]

gives me the biggest shivers when the crowd sings. such an amazing man!

[AmyApplesG]

1:52 sends shivers down my spine and brings a tear to my eye every time....

[londean111]

When the crowd took over I had an Eargasm. Really, I shivered a little.

[wllychng21]

I'm the musician who lacks the friends to form a band....hahaha sad me

[musicalkaty]

@wllychng21 At least you know you're not alone :)

[wllychng21]

@musicalkaty haha too bad we can't join up and form a band! Unless you are in Seattle? lol

[musicalkaty]

@wllychng21 Aha, nope, im near London... in England... we might be a little far apart :P

[EdmundoLOL]

he's my idol. what a man.

[XabysmalreleaseX]

And I'm definitely going to hell

[ind1v1dual]

@XabysmalreleaseX but I'll have all the best stories to tell.



[wazza100]

the first verse of this song is sooo true!

[demizeYARMON]

i would probably kill someone to be there. i would literally end a life. and if someone killed me for a chance to be there, i would die with understanding in my eyes.

[emthedrummer]

@demizeYARMON Or you could just buy a ticket to his show, and avoid all the death.

[theantinwofish]

@demizeYARMON

I was there and it was awsome!!!!!!!

[moj281]

Holy fucking shit :0

[FreeThinkerAGKH]

@psych0p4t3 Dude, Frank is a man that understands as to where we are at this current time and place just as those two did then... Remember the year... its fucking 2011 not 1967...

[EvilBenson]

Fuckin' magical.

[eddywalton10]

when i go to hell, the best story i'll have to tell is that i have seen Frank Turner live!

[AaronAJL1991]

Can't wait to see him at Reading fest this year it's going to be fucking ace.

[Nefariu]

Goosebumps 1:52. Thank you Frank Turner. The performance the day before yesterday was fucking amazing.

[thuserh]

I'm proud to say I've been to one of his concerts- and I can honestly say it was the shittest thing I've ever been to. What a complete load of gash. How dare people compare a man who shouts and strums one or two chords to Bob Dylan and John Lennon who are legit heroes. You are all arseholes

[logie737]

@thuserh hey im a massive dylan fan and he couldn't play a guitar for shit and he can't sing either

like frank turner the best thing about him is his song writing. I've seen both of them live and dylan did almost exactly what frank turner did "strum two chords on his guitar" the band did all the work behind him. Frank is not on par with dylan but he is an outstanding musician in his own right. Accept that

[TheDuckielova]

@thuserh no one is going to agree with you here.

WE ARE THE FRANK TURNER ARMY.

[ALVISEALVISETTI]

@TheDuckielova me too I'm from Milan Italy

[horrorloverxx]

@thuserh someone hasn't ever seen dylan live...

[MrQwerty4u]

10 people are all about the destination - well take a fucking flight!

[themanwithacam]

I am fucking proud to say that i was there :)

[coffeepoops]

goddamnit this guy is amazing

[MrMeddy5]

awsome



[dilligaf1942]

@Jogden24 they might have been at the front for another band and not been able to get out. there's nothing wrong with not knowing who he is, i only found out about him because of this video and now i love him, same thing would've happened to those people :D

[drumsandstrings]

I think i would've cried If I'd been there.

[brrrianbadonde]

my favourite video on the whole of youtube.

[kentthundercat]

love this dude. reminds me of billy bragg. anyone else? He's his own man, though. Frankie keep it up brotha.

[SaraLouiseMarsden]

beardy god.

[baluga94]

the only reason people dont like this vid is because they were not there

[ExpectingDelaney]

never has a song more deserved 100 000 views

[eBloom91]

100,000 views. Cool.

[CityOfDoors]

Damn straight! Punk is an attitude not a style!

[EricPushman]

I love this song

[EricPushman]

@GreatFireofGoogle me too

[azu111]

This is me and my friends Anthem. Everytime the boys get drunk we all sing this

[joemccorriston]

I geniunely don't know how people could "Dislike" this video, idiots.

[EddieLomaxx]

@joemccorriston People who have no idea about real music or they do it just to be smart, either way losers :)

[joemccorriston]

@EddieLomaxx correct :D

[benparcellmusic]

Goosebumps every time i watch this video.

[MrTom12345]

So glad that he's playing Reading and Leeds again this year. Totally made my year.

[rockguru123]

This is what makes music great, People so sincere like Frank who write their own music, play their own music and simply enjoy it for what it is, not to make money. Legend

[evanescencerawks]

Christ, anyone else have the hair stand up on their necks all the way through? Especially when the crowd started to sing. Fucking magical.

[IIIMPULSE]

@evanescencerawks i know, goosebumps the entire song

[xxspliffsmokexx]

@evanescencerawks Happens to me a lot if im really into a band or song. I get it from tim barry, hellmouth, telegraph and social distortion all the time. Not so odd when you consider those are my 4 fave things to listen to.

[joedude44]

STILL my favourite song by him by far. Im from Winchester too, used to go to all of franks old band's shows (million dead). Such a genuine, RAD, nice guy y'know.

Joey

[Guerillaradio13]

so awesome live

saw him in leeds in 2010 fuckin brilliant

[dipwolly]

What a track would love to see this dude live

[Claymore2007]

The next john lennon, or bob dylan? Oh Hell No!

This is the First Frank Turner!

[psych0p4t3]

@Claymore2007 definitively not the next bob dylan or john lennon, frank isn't a peace idealistic hippie like john or just as politically engaged as bob was before 1967.

[Kozzer27]

1:52 most powerful moment in music ever

[edza182]

@Kozzer27 got me chills

[cityoflightla]

don'r be retarded!

[jd6565888]

@ djsquiremacalp that wouldnt be exeter lemongrove would it?? ;)

[djsquiremacalp]

just one man and his guitar fulfilling everyone in that tents dreams of a greta sing along. im well pumped as he is playing at a venue right round the corner from me that literally holds about 50 people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[parkervilla]

What an epic man.

[youyourcatandme]

i was there :) and last year. infact i've seen him 7 times. i will marry frank turner if it's the last thing i do. i also told his mum that 'she produced some damn fine musically talented offspring' at his portsmouth pyramid gig in march! haaaaaaa. "AND WE'RE DEFINATELY GOING TO HELL, BUT WE'LL HAVE ALL THE BEST STORIES TO TELL"

[ItWasTheEMU]

@criptikclues Ahh too bad mate, wish he'd come home once in a while though, i missed the last gig here..

[hustlergoon]

When Frank Turner played my friends house to record "The Road" he didn't finish his tea! Still luv him anyway!

[the8tharmy]

When i hear the crowd sing the last few lines it makes my back shiver :P

[ItWasTheEMU]

I come from winchester too! :D

[criptikclues]

@ItWasTheEMU everyone who isnt from winchester hates you....im from essex inme and you me at six dont reallly cut it : (

[Joeyyy1300]

Hes so amazing. I want his babys. But like surrogate babys. Elton John did it so can we... So can we <3

[Rapecats]

how could you possibly dislike this? 9 people suck dick!

[redjacketindiehat]

it'll be much warmer in hell too

[YukonRoxx]

This sucks!!!

[christiancasals]

great song, great music, great dude. hes really chill and a super nice guy

[stuartdevil]

I want this song played at my funeral. I this this tune so much it's beyond words.

[adzboy14]

Frank Turner deserves to be selling out arenas

[schadesofgrey]

@adzboy14 bamboozle fest...he better have all of the meadowlands at their feet

[AaronAJL1991]

What a fucking anthem!!!

[jaytwoO]

@Lawman05 My bad, moment of idiocy :s Think I was looking at a different video at the time haha.

Saw him on Sunday night. Jaw dropping stuff.

[AlexTheHat]

@jaytwoO omg in oxford? I was there!!!

[jd6565888]

@000JonnyH000 mate it's gonna be amazing! he's such a legend

[furyofthestorm]

i just remeber payin £7 for half a glass of rose at 11 in the morning just to be drunk for this moment, and bein arm is arm with my friends singing this ment more to me then anything.

[jd6565888]

seeing him next week at exeter!! i cannot wait!

[000JonnyH000]

@jd6565888

See you there! Can not wait.

[matsteelyard]

1:52 gives me chills every time

[danface88]

Absolutely incredible, can not wait to see him next month :D

[jaytwoO]

@Lawman05 He did... It was incredible

[joemccorriston]

who the fuck has disliked this?! they musn't be right in the head

[thingthing25]

Is it possible to watch this too much?

no?

Good.

[poloptree]

I was fucking there and it it fucking rocked!

[joemccorriston]

i must have watched this over 50 times

[clarke195]

cannot wait for this song at brixton on dec 12th, may well be the best 2 minutes of my life !!!!!

[tomnicholasmusic]

I accidentally ended up watching him twice at Glastonbury and ended up stuck in the middle of a crowd much like this who knew all the words. Six months later I've learnt pretty much all the words myself and have tickets to see him in Exeter!

[joemccorriston]

@tomnicholasmusic awesome!!! i'm going to see him 3rd of december in preston :P

[toothasaur]

OH FUCK I JUST CRIED

[myarseisround]

@toothasaur i do that when i'm drunk and watch this. frank can make you feel weird and brilliant thing. muaha

[MrsLepetit]

Love Mr Turner.....so cool to see someone put their everything into their music and it come out so blinding :) Long live Frank !!! x

[TheSarge21]

Must be an amazing feeling when you hear people singing your songs!

[johnnyKillmore]

@TheSarge21

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Having only played to a room of about 300 people max, I always imagine the effect of playing to a huge crowd; especially a song as personal as this one. Must be a huge feeling.

[TheSarge21]

@johnnyKillmore I think it's probably the most amazing feeling, no matter if it's 10, 100 or 1000.

[steveyco]

after looking at a few of his songs im officially obssesed music with a message, campfire punkrock is a perfect descritpion!

[clarke195]

2 weeks till reading! ... n mr turner shall no doubt be the highlight of that weekend :D

[domnomnom1]

Going to see him live in December! Cant Wait!

Best musician ever!

[clarke195]

really can not wait for his set at reading this year !!!!!

[stuboy19]

Frank Turner gigs are special. It's not just a case of turning up, singing along and generally having a good time. You really do feel like you're part of something.

[KingAlanI]

@stuboy19 only problem is, first time I saw or heard of him, he was opening for Flogging Molly. :P

and was late into Grant Park when I saw him at Lolla 2010 (one of the many pleasant experiences on the Lolla undercard this year.)

[ltgoff2]

sends chills down my spine...

[Allysonx40]

1:52 is one of the main reasons why I fucking love live music. Incredible.

[KingAlanI]

@Allysonx40 yeah, it's all about the energy of the mass audience reaction.

[supernatch110]

i was there and i loved everyminute of it :D

[redletterdayy]

frank turner is shit and can't make good music

[TheatreFracture]

@acdcsdaughter Just Awesome! July 14 Bath

[TheatreFracture]

Best Song by him. anyone else going on the 14th?

[monhos]

greeetings from Portugal. Powerful song!!! congrats

[SayNoobB4ULeave]

Frank Turner's folk songs are more puck rock than most puckrock bands will ever be.

[JofusSunshyne]

@SayNoobB4ULeave ; we have our own billy bragg

[mattmcrae88]

Thats what people need to get in their head. Punk isnt about righting a song with 3 chords and saying fuck you and fuck this and dressing like a fashion victim.

Punk is a way of life. Its not just a music style.

[tecoleman7591]

if/when he plays this at reading this year...im going to be so excited i might just rip my cock off

[georgegabriel9]

@tecoleman7591 hahaha best fucking comment ever. you know he'll play it

[clarke195]

@tecoleman7591 it is going to be awesome !!!!!!

[pr0ct3r]

@tecoleman7591 can't wait mate! one of the few decent acts i'm going for!

[thepunkfish109]

@tecoleman7591 Better yet... just love the song... lose your shit... and keep the cock!! haha

[lucashoyles]

@tecoleman7591 - I'm gutted, I loved Reading this year but have only just discovered his music and I missed him :(

[tecoleman7591]

@lucashoyles Reading was sick, Frank was definitely a highlight but gutted he didnt play this song!

just go to one of his gigs. he's always touring and you'll be blown away by his sets.

[Zedfragg]

@tecoleman7591

I almost laughed up tea at my damn monitor you bastard!!!

Epic!!! If I could thumb you 5 times I would!

[weecoby3]

This man is just all kinds of fuckin' wonderful.

[SoundOfStarsJM]

I love the crowd singing : we're definitely going to hell! freaking great

[minimadmickey]

i've seen him sing this in front of about 50 people in a pub in Swindon, and also in front of thousands at Reading Festival, but both times you just feel so connected and you feel like his best mate! :) genuinely nice bloke, and i'll be seeing him at Reading again this year! :D "I AM THE REAL FRANK TURNER" :P

[misterjeffro]

goosebumps... every time

[thepunkfish109]

@acdcsdaughter Chills like crazy at 1:53. Almost had a tear as I sit here at my desk at work... fuck that's livin' man!

[thepunkfish109]

Goddamn, it gives you chills if you're the type of person who closes their eyes and sees the same the type of thing every night in your dreams.

1,2,3, rock!

[jdr1991]

best moment of my life.

[auraldemolition]

The greatest musician and the nicest man ever.

[jayraycee1983]

Fookin tune!!!!!!

[mipevo6]

I was there.... fantastic show...

[TommieDineen]

a-fucking-mazing the crowd singing makes it that little bit more epic

[pr0ct3r]

i cant wait for Reading this year! I've seen him live before but he's the one that i'm mostly looking forward for. I LOVE YOU FRANK!

[YouSmellWorseThanMe]

@Mrlmdonewithyou - same here xD Him and gaslight better not clash...

[Buttie601]

Looking forward to seeing him here in New Zealand on May 5

[GoogleMan303]

"See you next year"!!!!

Who's got their tickets?

I know I have...

[Drinksomegin]

@GoogleMan303 I have :)

[supernatch110]

i love this song and i love the fact i was in the crowd as well :)

[YouSmellWorseThanMe]

"thank's very much reading ill see you next year" hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm :)

[MrImdonewithyou]

@YouSmellWorseThanMe yeh he is at reading and i cant fucking wait

[TheCoolcunt]
