  • the song on this video in last seconds: MAN IN THE MIRROR (mICHAEL jACKSON) :)

  • He's high as fuck.

  • This seems fake as hell, but still really cool. Nerdy kid on the guitar can shred, too.

  • i don't really like Lenny Kravits all too much but this kinda shit is awesome

  • dat lipsyncing

  • i'm a drummer, and if that was me. i woulda rocked the fuck out of that set! he wouldn't of had to come show me how it was done!

  • Geeez they got the teen genius on guitar or what??

  • oh, and bummer for that kid playin drums

  • i feel bad that we will be loosing lenny so soon to that terrible, terrible disease. good luck man.

  • Lenny is uber cool....

  • how many rock stars would have done this?....shit,.. Axle would have sued them for copyright infringement.

  • "Hey mom, can you come pick me up? I told you this thing was going to be stupid! Actually wait, never mind...Lenny Kravitz just showed up."

  • Is he really that GOOD live? Damn man!

  • Lenny, you are a class act all the way.

  • Pobre el man de la bateria

  • no..no puedes con tu genio...este gran gesto tuyo dice mucho de la calidad de perdona que eres...y mi amado Perú te quiere....thaks Lenny

  • The guy with the guitar is extremly good!!!!

  • i miss home so much...that was my sunday hangout.

  • I don't know what is cooler, Lenny just groovin' to it, or the fact the young fellow on guitar didn't completely lose his groove when he saw Lenny approaching. Had they been doing a Metallica song, and that had been Lars Ulrich, he would have been going from person to person in the choir, asking for $10 per in royalties. One of the coolest dudes in the entire music industry, without a doubt; Lenny Kravitz!

  • Good Stuff...and the kid on the guitar...not bad.

  • Amazing! That's pretty cool he took time to play some music with them.

    king

  • Bad Ass Love It!!!!!!!!

  • very nice

  • love the guitar solo that kid's playing!

  • I would haVE crapped myself instead of singing for Kravitz.... Well Done!

  • I wasn't a big fan of Kravitz before I saw this video, but now I am. What a cool guy.

  • Lenny Kravitz loves crashing stuff.lol

  • What a jam! They had some groove going there.

  • The guy absolutely drips charisma. Love his stuff. One of my favorite youtube videos

  • What a gracious person. Lenny Kravitz was to those folks in the choir, not pretentious and full of himself, but humbled and enjoying the groove. This was a feel good video that I had to sub and place in my favs. Blessings for sharing.

  • @ladyg0726 Very true...but Lenny's always been that way since he broke...just a good guy making great music...

  • @x3killacam3...

    I'm here because Tavis sent me...;-)

  • Thumbs up if you came to watch this because of Travis Smiley.

  • Very cool! I just watched your interview on public tv and saw this... We have a mutual friend. Delilah... We were very close at Five Towns College. How's she doing these days? Peace and hope... Gabe.

  • How cool is this? VERY COOL! I too watched Tavis this a.m.

  • watching Tavis Smiley this morning, the reference to this video FORCED me off couch. You [were] are right - this is one of "those moments". I feel it now. Nothing moves a person like the 'truth'. Music is the truth -

  • watching Tavis Smiley this morning, the reference to this FORCED me off couch. You [were] are right - this is one of "those moments". I feel it now. Nothing moves a person like the 'truth'. Music is the truth -

  • Hope the awesome guitar kid gets a record deal out of that since the cameraman got his name! ;)

  • It's AMAZING how fast the crowd grew as people figured out what was going on! Saw Lenny talking about this on Tavis Smiley and how he was amazed that it hit YouTube and I had to check it out! :)

  • Lenny Kravitz is the coolest motherf*cker on the face of the Earth

  • I just heard of this recently, a cool vid from a cool cat.

  • amazing! NEW ORLEANSSSSSSSS, BABY!

  • GREAT!!!

  • Thats My Dawg

  • Lenny Kravitz = Baller

  • This is like a 'fantasy' situation. How generous is Lenny...what a guy!

  • What are these kids in high school? Could you imagine the rush of moving somebody with the talent of Lenny enough that he sits down to jam with you??? way too fucking cool.....

  • @psoluri71 yes this a youth group from FBC Lewisville, TX

  • Totally cool!

  • awesome how music unites people like this!

  • that kid is mike smeaton he just graduated flower mound high school in 2011 he has been playing guitar like this for a very long time

  • Check out the unedited video. It has the full guitar solo and it will melt your speakers!

  • so cool! What a legend - both Lenny and the guitarist!

  • nice! its definitely a magical happening.

  • This is really cool...who's that kid on guitar playing like Jimi???!!

  • he said this wasn't staged on Tavis smiley. Why cant people just watch this and enjoy it. I loved it. Wish i was there.

  • I'm old enough to be his mother and I think he rocks!

  • Ladybluluv@ yoiu think lil wayne would have gone out there oh.....he doesn't live in New Orleans anymore. The man lives here part of the time. There always music in the French Quarters people come from all over the world to come to the city. Where you live Bugtussle, AL? Stop hatin'!!!

  • Fucking badass.

  • Lennie loved it more than anyone! "It was a "moment", he said later.What a "moment' he made for the folks who were there, and thanks to You Tube, for us too (except for you lady blue, and who asked you anyway!)

  • LADYBLULUV YOU SUCK!!!HE`S A MILLIONARE ROCK STAR.GET OVER IT

  • hOW DID HE MAKE IT OUT OF THERE?

  • staged or not,.. love it!

  • That ladies 'n gents was the true spirit of music!

  • If I were those kids, I would've shat myself.

    Not literally, of course.

  • He sucks.

  • K. This just made my fricken day. I love it when artists do this kinda stuff. xD Keep rockin Lenny. >:)

  • Who is the kid on the strat and where is he now? Dayuuuuuum!

  • Comment removed

  • This is GREAT! Lenny jammed right along with the CHOIR! Woohoo!

  • Just came across this! Amazing, the spontaneity and creativity just make me smile! Lenny seriously can play every instrument so well! (Also, saw him do so at a rockin' small show.) And the kids here flowed perfectly with it! That's collaboration at it's best!

  • Where else could this have been possible other than NO? Lenny can slide in, participate, get a crowd gathered, and actually leave without a hassle. At best, someone would shake his hand, and thank him for making their Sunday a little better. This video is the very definition of what New Orleans is. It's the opposite of a Dallas or Miami.

  • @ttooooll24 In th Ruhrgebiet (Germany)! We have a motto here that says "Der geht auch nur kacken" (He has to take a dump too) what means that even the stars a normal persons.

  • As many times aas he's played this song, you know he's tired of it, and he gave these kids everything he had and was just having a blast hanging out and sitting in... That is what you call a rock musician and not a "rock star"

  • I love that Lenny is so down to earth! That was awesome to see and really put a smile on my face to watch him jamming with the people. Keep doing what you do Lenny! You are a wonderful person! How did you get to be so cool? :D

  • where else could a tourist see something like this walking down the street except in the USA?

  • that guitarist is no joke...he can fuckin play...what's his name?

  • he is soo normal.. he isnt change its a normal guy like every normal guy xD

  • I've seen some awesome things happen in that square but that was just righteous! Ole Mikey on the stratt was pretty sick... why did Lenny cut his breakout solo though? Lenny, I met your neighbors at Voodoo fest from the Bahamas. Maybe it was just some people who were full of it, but they seemed legit. You still got your pad on Dauphine?

  • Mint

  • i love it at 5:10 where he takes over the drums.

  • Just awesome

  • Wow how cool is Lenny Kravitz!

  • That Kid on the Strat is a BEAST!

  • this guitar player aint no wannabee!

  • THAT's my city!! THAT"S MY HEART! LONG LIVE NOLA!

  • Hey Lenny that kid on the ax was pretty damn good

  • Better than the original!!!

  • I love Lenny Kravitz, he is so cool!

  • awesome

  • Very Cool! A big start that still takes the time to play with his fans- only in the South could you get this much love without being judged.

  • So cool!

  • I am amused that there are 26 dislikes. Even if it is a publicity stunt, it is the most badass ever.

  • @vandyflush

    Nah it wasnt a publicity stunt. Lenny is just cool like that. He is a common sight in New Orleans, just walking around shops, drinking cofee, going to clubs etc etc. And is cool as hell with his fans and fellow artist, famous or not.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah...wish I were there!

  • Don't know what's more cool...the fact that Kravitz crashed the choir...or that Kravitz uploaded this video (at least I think it's him). Either way, love it.

  • The choir was good until that homeless guy showed up and started playing the drums...that was nice of them to let him sing a little.

  • i bet the strat kid got his dick sucked that night

  • I like much

    

  • This just gave me immediate goose bumps! Love Lenny! Love Choir!

  • Natural born rockstar

  • what a guy

  • This is really beautiful..Lenny's interchange with the choir, and how humble he was is/was so frigging beautiful! Love makes you real, and it doesn't get more real than this! Thank you Lenny for Being!

  • This same encounter will happen to me some day.

  • I've watched this many times before, but I just noticed that as the video fades to stop, they start playing Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror."

  • 25 people are jealous busters who need to get a life!

  • IT IS BEAUTIFUL WHEN PEOPLE, CELEBRITIES, ETC..DO THINGS LIKE THIS.

    THEY AER LIVING THEIR LIVES, I KNOW, AND DONT INTEND TO BE INSPIRATIONS, BUT THEY ARE..

    IVE ALSO READ OF JOHNNY DEPP GOING TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DRESSED AS THE PIRATE WHEN CHILD WROTE HIM ASKING TO HELP WITH MUTINY WITH HIS CLASS!

    ITS BEAUTIFUL AND GIVES ME HOPE FOR HUMANITY.

  • The kid behind Lenny was videoing it going, "This is going to get me some many subs"!

  • goosebumps 1:13 to 1:30

  • I love you Lenny...;)

  • only in America

  • Lenny,

    What was it like, as a musician ( very talented one at that) to hear a familiar sound, your own, carrying its way through your neighborhood, grabbing your attention, enough so that you humble the crowd with your presence and also in a humble fashion, show great consideration to their performing your song, take witness to it all, and they ask you to sit in with them......was their a greater sense of admiration by them, you or was it just down right equal.....musician to musicians ?

  • Lenny talented guy

  • I was watching for a minute and then I was day dreaming, the guitar player sounded like me for a second?? wow. I am a guitar teacher in Cleveland, liked the guitar solo. Keep it up kid.

  • Like x 10

  • i would've been so discreet about it---just stood somewhere in the crowd and acted like a normal viewer....i wonder if anybody would notice haha!

  • Seen this about 3 million times and it still gives me an amazing vibe. Music is THE language. It's THE ultimate bonding.

  • I want real Rock N Roll like this to come back!!! That kid on the strat was a BEAST \m/(~_~)\m/

  • This is awesome! You should crash more things Lenny! Especially choirs. ;)

  • Love this video!

  • guy playing guitar is the next Eric Clapton!

  • @africanjupiter That's a bit harsh isn't it.

  • very cool Lenny you made those kid day.very cool.more celebs need to be cool in that way.

  • really nice... great STUFF !!! Thanks ! Grazie !

  • That was one of the coolest things I ever got to be a part of. Voice of Praise Mission Trip to New Orleans 2010. Coolest part about it was that after he sang, we got to minister and share the gosplel with about 400 people on a friday night in the middle of New Orleans. A night I will always remember. Thanks Lenny for letting God use you to draw people in. It worked. Alot more happened that night than just a cool concert by Lenny, God worked in that city.

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!! LET LOVE RULE!!!! 

  • This is Awesome!!!! Your music speaks to the soul, you as a person inspire by doing things like this. You can see how down to earth you are. Those kids will never forget you playing with them. You're inspiring, A rare jewel. Okay time to pick up my guitar.

    WOW...I love it!

  • best buy

  • Such great musicians! I love you Lenny Kravitz!

  • OMG You guys were sooo lucky. I'm jealous and happy for all of you at the same time.

    What an experience, I was just... surreal.

  • Wow. That made their day.

  • inspiring to the kids who love music.

  • sick!

  • LENNY, YOU ARE AWESOME, RELIGION SUCKS, LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!!!!!

    P.S. JESUS DID NOT COME TO MAKE BAD PEOPLE GOOD, HE CAME TO MAKE DEAD PEOPLE LIVE, STICK THAT  IN UR PIPE, AND HIT IT HARD!!!!

  • @MegaGreatGrace Dude chill out. Sure kravitz is talented, but don't stupidly make remarks. Calm down before you embarass yourself.

  • @MegaGreatGrace Not really dude... Jusus came to save those in need, not to be with the ones already saved. If anything this just proves how cool being a Christian can be.. Just find a cool church,apparently I would pick First Baptist Church in Lewisville =P

  • this is the coolest thing a big star ever did to those ordinary kids....keep it up lenny!!!

  • Lenny your a legand.

    When are you coming back to Australia????

  • He's pretty hot for a black guy!!!

  • lenny kravitz blows

    

  • T-Pain Featuring Kurt LaMothe Lil Wayne - Can't Believe It Remix

  • why does this clip doesnt have at least 10 milion views?

    world is a fucked up place...

  • yeah and your real clever. If im the gay one, then why are you the one on a lenny kravitz video defending him like your his momma, thats ok man im not gonna take offence. Of couse its not your fault our daddy touched you in the bath tub when you were 12......... and 14 and 16 and yesterday

  • @tripps5415 wat a douche, kay lenny is a resonable rocker better than you!

  • Lenny the best AD for NOL

  • I guarantee that none of the guitar solo stuff was supposed to be there... but like any self respecting musician, you see lenny kravitz... you show him what you can do. haha

  • lenny kravitz is the man, my boy on the guitar is smokin over there :57-:101 , now thats a lick, this is the epitamy of great music...

  • You rock dude! <3 4 Lenny!

  • Cool.

  • @MylesM316 DITTO!! it's awesome LK did this...those kids will have something to talk about the rest of their lives!

  • Thank You Lenny always great to see some stars are never to big to play with the locals..and to a few other people what is your malfuntion..it's not like he just walked up and took the sticks from the kid..as you can see he glady handed them over..hell i could be a million dollar drummer and if i seen lenny walk up askin to take the throne for a bit so he could play you best believe i would gladly move

  • That's just too awesome. What a great thing to do. Lenny, you are da coolest~

  • 1voice2many, you are so right! I could never have said it better - this is an amazingly unique video, not to mention the positive effect it had on the choir and everyone who saw and appreciated this video. I was feeling quite uplifted and once again marveling at Lenny's talent and humanity.

  • Increible, lo veo y me pone la piel de gallina, espectacular , me imagino la cara de los chicos cuando aparecio Lenny.

    Lenny un grande como pocos!!
