Ryan Bingham performs - Late Show with David Letterman - November 4 2009 Part 3

[TheSchweineferkel]

The Schweineferkel loves that!!!!!!!!! It is fully great!!!

[tonywsmith2]

Dear Zackattack0p: You probably could have picked an even better example of great punctuation than the Bill of Rights, but your point seems reasonable

enough. What doesn't seem reasonable is the suggestion that I consider

Bingham to be the worst thing that ever happened to music: Justin Beiber leaves him in the lurch. I made it clear, Zack, that what I dislike about Ryan musicaly is simply his affectation---his willingness to substitute the sound of tracheotomy for chops.

[gioyanez719]

@guitarbutt dude take a chill pill man i was just fuckin with you

[gioyanez719]

@guitarbutt  Whatch your mouth

[Agilbert11]

no man i was sincerely just curious but if youre gunna be an asshole about it then dont bother. let me know when finally pull the dildo out of your ass.

[Agilbert11]

is this in standard tuning?

[krs121]

yes

[zedrein18]

Are you that uneducated?

[heape2011]

Y'all are ridiculous. Ryan bingham is the best thing to ever happen to music.

[Generip]

wow. whole lotta hate on here for just a fucking song.

[jrab04]

Hey Tony,

It's comma not coma...u fucking retard. If your gonna correct someone try not to make yourself look like a moron.

[tonywsmith2]

@jrab04

Is that "jrab" or "A-rab"? Your channel seems cryptic.

[nickpa1]

@jrab04 ...i think you meant you're not your...

[dizzle2781]

hey cjones and doe......... yall are fucking retarded.....

[MrCjones65]

Bingham sort of reminds me of the holocaust ...he's an atrocity that should never be repeated, yet I am compelled to learn everything I can about him. He's really quite fascinating.

You can tell he thinks his sh*t doesn't taste bad, but his popularity, I think, is a bye-product of the media spoon-feeding the masses with sewage-grade pop culture for decades. It was probably inevitable that someone like Bingham would come along to sweep the jaded masses off of their feet.

He's a hack, folks

[didodadoo]

@MrCjones65

How can you compare anything that people enjoy to the holocaust? Who is this guy repeating anyways..? Maybe Dylan? Who cares man, everyone branches from something in the past now a days.. it's quite hard to do something brand new musically now a days because just about everything has been done.  TSmith, you are just embarrassingnobody cares what you think which is whats so great. Music is enjoyed when it makes you feel good, and telling someone that feeling is false is laughable

[chrisblevins9680333]

@MrCjones65 A) He's a very nice and seemingly humble guy as I've meet him twice he actually bought me a beer. B) Popularity? If anything he is a great untapped resource I hope he stays under the radar. Sad thing is you're extremely transparent. You're the type of guy who likes to shit all over everyone's likes or comments but try and sound like you're extremely educated and well spoken like that makes your argument more valid. Get a life if you don't like his music don't listen to it.

[JohnDoe959]

Awesome! This is the worst shit I have ever seen!  This guy takes being the worst thing to ever exist to a whole new level!

[boomshaka21]

@JohnDoe959 - For someone that doesn't like Bingham, you watch an awful lot of his videos on here. Go somewhere else you meatball.

[currentriverdrifter]

@tonywsmith2:

What a sad little bitch you are. Why don't you stop following Ryan around and bothering us in the process? And what's with the overuse of that stupid word "chops"? Been watching too much AI in your spare time, have you? Oh wait, you'd have to do more than just watch AI to fill up your spare time.

[jrab04]

Oh WAIT! PERFECT! Tony is a "professional pianist". That's slang for failed ass musician who's broke as a fucking joke. Now it all makes sense. I retract mama's basemement dweller for the eqaully pathetic "jaded no-talent- music -hack who has to rip real musicians who make it" Shoulda been an English teacher instead Tony...cuz you can write no doubt...but then again teachers make about as much as unemployed pianists.

[jrab04]

And to those of you who do live in your moms basement, thats cool. As long as you dont act like a pompous toolbox.

BTW- Been introduced to Ryan Bingham for all of about 2 hours. Dude is the truth

[MrCjones65]

You were introduced to Bingham for 2 hours!? That seems like a long introduction. Did you shake hands with him the whole time? If so, you should get an AIDS test to be on the safe side. Word on the street is that Bingham shared a LOT of needles with a LOT of Mexicans back in the day, and most meth addicts tend to get a LOT of nicks and scratches on their hands from blindly feeling around dark places for meth.

[jrab04]

Which is why he takes the time out of his obviously important life to come back to some Youtube clip week in and week out so he can post his carefully crafted witty comebacks. Kudos to you sir, Kudos. Seriously what a douche.

[jrab04]

Tony is one of those type-writing tough guys. He probably runs some pointless blog about pointless shit no one cares about. Anytime someone challenges him he has to prop himself up as some superior intellectual wizard when in fact hes most likely a mamas basement dwelling underachiever.

[tonywsmith2]

An oversight, ass. Now, in your short sentence, you neglected to use an upper case "E" in the word "English," substitute four dumb dots for a coma after your subordinate clause, and wrongly used the word "wrong" to modify the verb "spelled. A lot of illiteracy to pack into one sentence, even in cyberspace.

[dizzle2781]

bad ass..... all yall need to shut the fuck up and respect....

[acre192312]

Tony, get off everyone's dick. It's like you've got the worst mancrush in human history.

[alyse1969]

and lastly, tony, he's a hell of a nice guy w/a beautiful smile - betcha you gotta complaint about that, too, seeing as how miserable of an SOB you are.

[tonywsmith2]

Ryan's a hell of a nice guy? Why so?

I would say that as a rodeo rider, he has a serious history of animal abuse and

outright cruelty. But all that is beside the point---as is your rhapsodic remark about his smile. Who cares, alyse, if he makes your clit stand up! What the hell has that got to do with music? I simply said the guy's no singer. A brief look at the list I've given if you scroll down should make the point perfectly well . . . cont'd

[wewillwinit6times]

@tonywsmith2

I'll tell you a couple of things about his music:

For one I've never heard lyrics that have ever captivated me in such a way as what Ryans have and secondly there's a truism within in the way he uses his exceptional vocal talent and the lyrics/music he produces.

CONT.....

[wewillwinit6times]

Those attributes leads me into what only a select few artists are capable of doing and that is letting you drift off into the World they've created through song, it's hard to explain but Ryan creates music where you get a feeling of so much vividness of the what he sings and writes about, it's like a picture being drawn in front of your very eyes, it's a very rare talent to encompass and it's a talent he has with abundance.

[tonywsmith2]

You sound giddy. But it seems we're talking about different subjects. You're talking masturbation . . . I'm just talking about music and chops. In part, my assessment of this yahoo's voice---I can't concede singing---is based on years of having worked as a piano accompanist

for singers who tend to know their craft.

That you're bedazzled by this croaker is incontestable. Nobody can take that away from you. Cont'd.

[wewillwinit6times]

No, I'm talking purely about his musical abilities, 99% of viewers watching this video would understand exactly what I've written. As for the other 1% who don't get it, well that is their problem and maybe shouldn't be viewing/listening to music with which they can't comprehend its meaning and/or style.

[tonywsmith2]

U blew it again, chump: ""maybe shouldn't be viewing/listening to with which they can't comprehend its meaning and/or style." Your problem is that you simply don't know the parts of speech from your body parts. But don't quit. Eventually, u may be able to type your way out this proclivity for tripping over your dick . Or just take a course. Study syntax. Sure, even Ryan Bingham fans can intuite your meaning. But they shouldn't have to. Cont'd . . .

[tonywsmith2]

Nor should I have to struggle to keep pace with output of witless blunders. You should slap the face of the person who put you up to thinking your could write.

To use a musical parallel, it's about voice leading, wewill. This advice may hurt now, but it may eventually do you some good.

[tonywsmith2]

Voila, wewill. Your punctuation still sucks, but already despite pretending to be mystified, you've made a deliberate attempt to tighten up your English! I

told you my advice would be helpful.

As for Ryan Bingham, I only went to this sight for laughs, and I will leave in the same spirit. Keep typing. Lucid expression may well be within your grasp. Get it?

[zzflowerbombzz]

@ tonywsmith2

Are you STILL trolling Ryan Bingham's videos? Jesus Christ, man, get a life. It seems you do, in fact, have a personal vendetta against Ryan. Your comments go beyond simply disliking his music -- you're actually hateful. Kind of pathetic. (Let me guess. Your response will be, "No, you're pathetic! 'Cause you like Ryan Bingham!" You're predictable.)

[tonywsmith2]

Anybody who can actually hate somebody 4 trolling Ryan Bingham videos has got to be a basket case. The truth is, I'm not trolling anything, u ass. It's just that buffoons like u keep bombarding my e-mail box. I don't even care about Ryan Bingham, except to say he's getting a lot of mileage out of cheap affecttion. So what else is new? Actually, I don't even

care about this yahoo. And I'll prove it, number 22. Now I'm gonna treat my

ears to some serious pop music. TSOP anyone?

knowing

[drdrummerdude]

FUCK YOU TONYSMITH2

[TheZackattack09]

@tonywsmith2 Who cares if punctuation is not correct on youtube? Its not like you are writing the bill of rights or anything like that. I belive everyone on here can understand what is being said without using spell check. If you belive Ryan Bingham is the worst thing to happin to music, go look Justin Beber, Backstreet Boys, Rascal Flats, and everything else that gets played on the radio. No need to comment back eventhough im sure you will.

[fortfuckingwayne]

Tony--Your list of singers that you sent me is hilarious. You're in the wrong place man. Go look up some Motown videos and listen to what you obviously have a preference for. Why even waste your time here?

[tonywsmith2]

What are you---stupid? High on embalming fluid? I gave u a list of folks who could really singm the genre be damned---no more, no less. If it's wasted on u, so be it. As 4 your question, why waste my time here?---it's rhetorical. I was only taking a little time out to have a little fun . . . teasing knee-jerk consumers like you , , , testing the waters of idiocy, as it were. Lighten up, turd. A guy with a user name like fortfuckingwayne should have a sense of humor.

[alyse1969]

as i said tony, your ignorance is a treat. ryan's gonna have a hell of a career, your erudite opinion notwithstanding. he's had his share of whiskey and cigarettes, to be sure, and that may give his voice a quality you don't care for. doesn't mean he can't sing. but your degree of hostility is surprising.....did ryan beat you out for a record deal? sure seems you've got something personal giong on about him. be sure not to watch the oscars in case he wins. wouldn't want you to blow a fuse.

[tonywsmith2]

As a professional pianist, I work with real singers regularly. This guy is no such thing. If you like, however, because you're up to your ears in populism, or find throat cancer impersonations captivating, or

simply base your assessment of vocal talent on what an alleged singer does for you as a woman (I assume), then enjoy.

No hard feelings. (I also admit that I dislike him less than 50 cent.) (Check out Ronnie Milsap "Any Day Now" or "There Ain't No Gettin" Over Me." digress. Real.

[didodadoo]

first of all to compare ryan's voice to crystal gayle makes you just look flat out annoying and dumb... ryan's voice has a lot of character in it, it's very soulful and soothing to the ear... just because this guy isn't singing in a difficult key or belching it out like meatloaf doesn't mean he lacks talent... he seems to be in key to me.. and does it with a rasp most people can't seem to pull of this day and age cept fogerty maybe and c followill

[tonywsmith2]

The key, alas, is C. The word you should be looking for is "register," although the truth would be that for any legitmate singer, there would be no challenging stretches or intervals. Pull of this rasp?

Exactly, bullshit city. There's no natural singing voice to contend with. svoiceMoreovebut to the luxury of doeosn

[didodadoo]

and ronnie milsaps voice to me is as boring as watching paint dry, plenty of people can sing like that... hang out in nashville for a few weeks and you'll see most session singers have those tricks up their sleeve... so to each their own

[tonywsmith2]

"Watching paint dry?" Is your choice of words a good indication of just how boring you must be yourself? Most slightly imaginative six-year-olds could

do better. As for your point, there many more aspiring sex symbols of the in your face hillbilly rocker (snore) Tim McGraw kind. Ronnie's precious. But to resort to your verbal desperation "each to his own."

[alyse1969]

tony, with due respect, you have no clue what you're talking about. ryan's voice is singular and fantastic. he's going to have quite a career, your opinion of his singing voice notwithstanding. but keep spinning your ignorance, honey - that's what makes the world go 'round.

[tonywsmith2]

@alyse1969

Maybe you're trying to say "where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

By this standard, you're sound euphoric.

[tonywsmith2]

Obviously singing lessons would be wasted on this idiot.

[zzflowerbombzz]

@ tonywsmith2

Are you retarded? He sounds great. Perhaps you're just the cynical type. Either way, it's your loss.

[tonywsmith2]

Obviously, your Kochler implant needs recharging. Even as croaking goes, this sucks. If he specifically tried to sing through his anus, he couldn't do worse.

[fortfuckingwayne]

He sounds relaxed and natural. Are you a Steve Perry fan or something?

[tonywsmith2]

@fortfuckingwayne

Not at all, Wayne. But have u checked out "The Weary Kind"? Maybe Ryan sounds natural for a guy who's suffering from a premature case of throat cancer, or who just thinks it cute to sound that way (given his complete lack of chops).

Singers?Donny Hathaway, Levi Stubbs, Cuba Gooding (Main Ingredient), the Ojays, B.J. Thomas, Ronnie Milsap, a young Dionne Warwick, Crystal Gayle, Al Jareau, Mel Torme, Vic Damone, Jimmy Beaumont, even Ray Stevens when he put his mind 2 it.

[animelover4848]

thx Elim

[505148]

LOVE THIS SOUND

[ElimRem]

the music starts at 2:45

[curlyq7218]

He is so great live. Saw him at La Zona Rosa in Austin and it sounded a lot different than his albums, but i loved it!

[ilikecakealot]

what song???

[vinman66]

tell my mother i miss her so

[tfmangan007]

what song is he playing?

[soxfan657]

I got to see him in College Station right before he came to the Late show few nights before. He's a real crowd pleaser and an awesome musician. He did a cover of "Times they are A-Changin" by Bob Dylan that was really cool. Why the beanie though ? haha (please don't stereotype people from Texas from the latter posts we're nice people (well most of us)) :-)

[tporche21]

I was at that show too. It was awesome.

[soxfan657]

he had probably 3 people open for him. I felt kinda bad because people were starting to get fed up screaming for Bingham, but who can blame them really. Even though the other guys weren't too bad either

[wewillwinit6times]

Fantastic to see Ryan finally getting some well deserved recognition, fingers crossed my fellow Brits will pick up on his excellent musicianship soon though that would encompass most the population and media having to take their heads out of Simon Cowells arse.

[dreyno5]

yes mate...as a fellow brit i echo that statement! it would be nice to get a UK tour thats for sure...

[JohnDoe959]

I heard everybody from Texas is really, really, really super-cool. Especially the hard-hittin, nose-bleedin', stomp-rockin', gravel-chewin', nail-spittin' Ryan Bingham! He's my favorite part of Texas. Texas born. Texas bred. Texas fag.

[bravoman56]

I don't know how other generic country artists live with themselves after hearing ryan jam out. makes me so glad i live in west texas

[baugus423]

hell yah man! i'm proud to be from the West Texas as well.. Texas music is awesome and i totally agree with everything you said about GENERIC COUNTRY ARTISTS

[operationNOBO]

bingham rules, especially live

[Bathurst1ooo]

anybody know the name of the song ryan sings ??

[SOInterceptor]

"Tell My Mother I Miss Her So" is the name of the song and it is off the "Roadhouse Sun" album.

[wenntworth]

what does his shirt say?

[TXCountryJunkie99]

Stop Factory Farms

[DevilsArcadeTvL]

Bingham is awesome. But jesus, how awesome is the mandolin player?

[beisb0l]

look up the song wicked twisted road by reckless kelly. talk about an awesome soundin mandolin in the second solo

[steelguitarboy]

You do deserve it. Bravo!

[bohogdog]

best of luck and success,,love your songs and sound ..will see u in austin.

[txmusicgirl888]

Excellent!! Love this. Ryan Bingham is amazing.

[CTFeil]

Great job Ryan! Come back to the Hill Country ASAP!

[StrongHeartSoldier]

what song is this?

and is it me or does he sound like he smokes alot? or used to?

[starchief59]

"Tell my mother I miss her so" He has a very raspy voice. It adds to his "charm"

Good for your Bingham

[leighbraaten]

I love these guys!! They are such amazing artists and some of the nicest people I have ever spoken with!

[ChanceBaldy]

Wish we could have seen the end with them jammin.....

[jasonshahan]

Great Performance Ryan. I missed your one of a kind cowboy hat, but the beanie was a nice change of pace. Need you to come back to Lubbock brotha. Keep jammin' . Thanks for posting rockyeagle

[lonestardu]

Way to go man. You deserve it.

[headcasessalon]

Thank you for posting this!

[kelly12creations]

Ryan, you are awesome! I had the pleasure of seeing you twice in Annapolis. Love what you guys do!!

[TexasMusicLife]

We are so proud to have Ryan here in Texas, enjoy him New York..but Ryan we miss you down here in New Braunfels so don't be gone to long..

[ChanceBaldy]

hes from New Mexico,

[TexasMusicLife]

No sh*t idiot, but Ryan spends most of his time down here in Texas..

[ChanceBaldy]

you texans think your entitled to everything "down in texas" Texas Music Life. i was just sayin cuz i Highschool rodeod with him when he lived in HOBBS NM. F*ckin idiot. you can keep your large ego and shove it up your ass.

[TexasMusicLife]

Technically we do have the rights, Ft. Worth, Austin, New Braunfels, Houston, Lubbock..there is a reason it's called Texas Music faggot..This doesn't even require a remark actually, I'm surprised you even have a Internet connection, your pretty tough on this website..you better hope I paths never cross

[ChanceBaldy]

i paths or our paths? ignorant fuck. like they ever will, if they did; how would you or i know eachother. get real.... "if" they ever did cross i would show you a arizona ass woopin, then you can go back to all those toothless cities and tell them how small Texas is compared to the beating you just received. Technically you have rights to shape your hats like dipshits and, drink that shitty lonestar, thats it. "Everythings bigger in Texas" except for your IQ Genius. does this Require a remark?

[TexasMusicLife]

1600 andrew ln, kingwood tx 77365...ride your bull down here bastard..
