Seasick Steve - Cut My Wings (Hootenanny)

[MrSkillfulWill]

He plays the most incredible music with 3 strings that i couldn't even make with 6

[GuitarPlayerGeo]

They could never cut your wings Steve! Rock on!

[dkjayjay]

i dont beleive it: an old man playing a 2 string guitar...

pewww...

i love it so mouch.

Water from my eyes prevents me from using my keyb.......

[xHQGinGex]

@1234sniperking He used to be homeless, spent a while in paris getting money on the metro playing guitar.

[overdriven77]

this dude is a living proof that you don't need 3000$ worth of instruments and gear to be good musician....i mean look at that stuff he's using....it ain't worth more than 150 bucks!

[1234sniperking]

He looks like tramp but he's epic fav song

[Euphoriacity]

This man has The Thing!

[Alexbluestramp]

he makes me goin on.love it

[9999hornet]

He should be on Jools Holland Hootenanny every year. Top bloke!!! Cheers Steve.

[stiglaa]

This should be adopted by Goverments World-Wide. They try to cut our wings and make us just Grey coloured tax payers. No life of our own, just work and pay taxes.....then they make Laws to screw us again for money. Tax, Tax and more Tax. Just finding out where those Billions are going and most of us are NOT happy with it.

[Julio16190]

alpha boy

[FertexManusxCertas]

Thumbs up for "clock man" at 1:27

worst super power ever

[williamjsell]

every now and then I have to go back to this video just to get my Seasick Steve fix...! Just brilliant...

[Dropkickpunk76]

Britain has been into blues music from America for a long time so it's not surprising that he plys his trade across the pond. His style is great and unique but he wouldn't draw a huge crowd here in the US like he does in the UK. Which is a shame because his music is great.

[jtgdot73]

@Dropkickpunk76 @Dropkickpunk76 Agreed. And for the same reason no one knew who RL Burnside was until after he died. Still, many don't know his music. In fact, this guy even sounds like RL.

[L0MDONER]

Glad he resides here in the UK and Norway.... America had their chance and blew it.

Wold can stay here all he likes <3

[PooPoo2U]

@L0MDONER: What the hell does where he lives have to do with anything? He plays American music in Europe and cashes in on the fact you all find him an oddity.

I love Steve, but there's hundreds of other acts here just as good, and not even counting the other ones we export to cash in from you.

[L0MDONER]

@PooPoo2U Chill out dude. He plays where ever the money is and whoever appreciates his music. Its just a shame America doesn't appreciate his music and he gets a more responsive crowd here in the UK.

[Perseoermagno90]

oh yes 3 strings rules!

[BIGIFANDYELLOWCARD]

Fuck, People need to learn to lap in time.

[ForForm]

1:41 makes me think of a Dutch comedian talking about middle aged women dancing like retards at music they pretend to like. I would be unable to move if I saw Seasick Steve... I'd just be paralyzed by his skills xD

[masterwindu1234]

can't help tappin ma feet 2 this music. in fact most of sea sick steve's music.

[68caddilac]

Great blues reminds me very much of the fantastic playing by that great guitarist doctor darren 'ray' redden of the cereal killers. this band became infamous on the pub circuit back in the late 80's for the lead singer 'capt. box heads' habit of urinating on the crowd.the entire band were extremely heavy drinkers especially the basist dave' the rave' benham who drank 1406 beers in a 3 and a half week sitting,those were the days, SELF RAISING FLOWERS

[NeoExcelsior]

Someone met the Devil at the crossroads... You rock Seasick! Come back to Oz!

[taulpaul85]

I'm surprised he lives in Europe.

[MrClaretMatt]

@taulpaul85 America had it's chance with Seasick Steve, he's ours now :P

[LocoPCtheoneandonly]

Love'em rednecks... I was lucky to travel from Ontario to Texas riding on a 32 wheeler passed thru Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, New Orleans and onto Houston TX... best time o my life with my buddy and his rotweiller who slept like kings in the back cabin... I slept on a bed I made ... passenger seat, drive seat with a TV in the middle for support... LOVED IT!!! particularly a couple nights spent in Tascaloosa... I miss y'all

Keep pluckin'em string dude... you got the blues!!!!

[mrmar12100]

@nouenofhoor

[TaskForceSixTwoSix]

Such a surreal vid.

An American "redneck" surrounded by dancing British stereotypes.

[Kazimarec]

[TheEFromHell]

@Kazimarec I think it's: 'have mercy' but I'm not entirely sure ^^

[gomczx11]

hes a caricature of redneck, and proves that music is played by your soul not your knowledge of it.

this song is awesome, and its nice to hear something diferent sometimes.

[velvetguitar95]

1:26 WTF!

[erpvb]

if that guitar is haunted , steve made it scared as shit . cause that baby is screaming !

[henrithefreak47]

things are falling all over the place yaaw

[mungrymatt]

Two like buttons and 11 retards pressed the upside-down one

[niamhjennings00]

[KissMeImAForeigner]

Suddenly I want to grow a really long beard.

[freqwhincy]

Now that's how you play music minimal as possible but with a ton of soul

[MrBeautifulba1]

@freqwhincy That's Goddamn right

[Canonall]

Ain't nothing like hearing this fella playin dem blues ;)

[powerfulclown]

this was back before clockface got a job as bling

[powerfulclown]

[imonyourfacewoot]

CLOCKFACE was epic, yet not as epic as seasick steve. Keep trying clockface.

[EddSaulys]

американские чукчи в отрыве :))))

[StefanTylerHelton]

@xheartshapebox It means that you like to listen to music that not a lot of people know about

[StefanTylerHelton]

@xheartshapebox It means that you like to listen to music that not a lot of people know about

[MrHazard001]

[xheartshapebox]

When i told a guy in the record store that i was looking for a Seasick steve album, he say to me "haha you hipster, i'll go and look".

[AmurgAprins]

Dude , holy shit, 2 strings !!!Seasick Steve is the blues incarnated.

[QUERCUSst]

@AmurgAprins 3 strings..but still!!

[AmurgAprins]

@QUERCUSst You're right, I can't play like that on 6 strings lol :)

[xloupz]

at the end he gets possesed by a higher force

[Yamdan7]

the dislike bar is an enlarged model of justin biber penis

[Jteppic]

So modest ^^

[simonk512]

thumbs up for the clock head and his awesome dancing

[chokicou]

Some bluesmen HAVE the Blues. Seasick IS the blues.

[romekdo77]

The best free commercial Roland ever had for a cube 30!

[stewartakaryan]

[JerichoDitch2]

[geoffnotjeff14]

[MrHellion159]

how do you not like this song? it honestly comes from the heart and it is just fun...

[Guitarman0416]

I'm 15 And I love this music!!

Very Cool, Just 2 String!

[ImperatorMundorum]

why does he use only two strings on his guitar?

[chipCharger]

@ImperatorMundorum He no need no 6-string ! :-)

[MrAmishal]

@ImperatorMundorum maybe because he was so skint he couldent afford new strings, so fuck it i'll just play with 3

[Maestro1741]

Is there a robert johnson infulence here? at the beginning anyway?

[SirWhirly]

@Maestro1741

lol, almost every blues song is going to have a Robert Johnson 'influence'.

[Maestro1741]

@SirWhirly Haha Fairs, It just sounded really like him to me :)

[annewinwood]

I though I had seen it all, listened to it all, heard it all and then my son introduced me to Seasick Steve.......I'd always thought it was about the music, now I know it really, really is............BUT there is good music out there, I wonder how he got his break..............a brilliant act, though...................

[justinhatem]

WOW! Proof that music comes from the soul!

[PooPoo2U]

(Number of dislikes) don't (reference to the video).

Really... that shit's so fucking annoying. Just listen to the badassery of Seasick and fuck the dislike bar.

[JoeAndNickgs]

that's how much you can do with two strings

[monicaslovely69]

this is awsome



[jayway65]

if you like Blues Music check out Still City Sound

[Robertissimo]

9 dislikes?? waddup wuth that??? are you thick!!

[jamirocat]

I think he should get a kickback from John Deere! THis guy is amazing! How he can make that much sound from that guitar...??

[jamirocat]

I think he should get a kickback from John Deere!

[tntcasas]

9 dislikes?????????????????

[utubezonline]

@tntcasas that's nine to many

[skinnybuddhaboy]

Jack White must fucking Love this guy!!!

[calumeh]

@skinnybuddhaboy JackWhite DOES love this guy. He´s on his label ThirdManRecords. Check him out there!

[Maiizel]

This is not my cup of tea. I doubt I would ever listen to this in my day to day life.

I would probably like it better in a bar with a pint in my hand though.

[FunnyStashVideos]

@Maiizel what don't you drink beer in home, are you weird or is drinking in home a scottish thing :/

[stevycurley892]

@FunnyStashVideos irish thing too dont worry

[icedbannanas]

@Maiizel I agree with you. Whilst it is my kind of taste in music, i still feel it is strictly live music. It's like listening to drum 'n' bass, dance music, or jazz on a recording. For me anyway these are genres of music that have to be experienced live, then it's a full package.

[willisenglish]

Haha he broke a string halfway through, thats real mucisianship to keep playing

[leahcimevlak]

when i saw this guy on Top Gear i didn't think i would like his music but then i had to check after the "noise" he played on the custom instrument grate music

[nastehno2397]

Who dislikes things like this?

[Frankcast11]

@nastehno2397 People who make guitar strings other then EDG?

[Balthazar313]

haha clock face!

[TalkingToLeedskalnin]

This guy has what I like to call "Magick". A tremendous talent. That sound is so swampy and muddy and bluesy it's impossible not to like!

[jan1035]

@TalkingToLeedskalnin Man you're so damn right.

[frettish]

seen the guy live at T in the park and he was outstanding

[dillweed44]

I love the guy with a clock on his face at 1:26!

[Jabarichonicles]

they should have miced the mississppi drum machine...i can barley hear it

[SomeRandomFeller]

If you like this sound, check out Left Lane Cruiser.

[fabiokapinha91]

I'M going to play with only 3 strings for now on

[MetalMahni]

@fabiokapinha91 I was thinking the same ;D

[jakopyc]

first heard this working on kid trains my boss played it one day it never left the cd player after that, well maybe a little rehab but this shit got us through the days where you were going fucking nuts! this guys is the shit and has an unbelieveable talent to get in your soul and make you smile

[wornspur]

[MrHellion159]

[chrisafreak]

@MrHellion159 it got worn out

[carguru3]

He has a sound similar to Lynyrd.

[neeerv]

how could you not love this guy?!

[skatethehouse999]

i can remember watching this on tv, i was so happy that thare was finaly some good music on for once

[Zaspor]

3:35 these guys just realized that Steve's overalls totally beat their kilts.

[Niemand667]

Well thumbs up if you caught your self banging with this grandious soung!

[Potellion]

8 people suck massive necrotic cock.

[BlueDiamondPro]

I learned about him from Jack White, another amazing guitarist. Steve is the man.

[silentbob82]

Going to see him in London in May. Tis gonna be an awesome night I am sure!

[90varieties]

what type of guitar is that?

[ch3rrysunbur5t]

@90varieties you'd be better saying "guitars"

[BlueDiamondPro]

@90varieties This is a normal guitar that resembles a Fender Coronado or a Teisco EP-7, but with only three strings. It has an old Harmony pickup added (with duct tape) and is tuned to A, G and B using an E string in the A position, a D in the G position and a G in the B position.

[90varieties]

@BlueDiamondPro thanks :)

[Britandy100]

where can i get this guys album anyone

[asaum3]

@Britandy100 amazon.com has a few

[daveescape01]

1:26 THAT MAN HAS A CLOCK FOR A FACE!

[KenneWoods]

@daveescape01 you werent kidding were you

[ruprup69bang]

HI STEVE LOOK WHOS BACK, AGAIN.......PLAY ME SOME BLUES MATE PLEASE.YOU ALWAYS SORT ME OUT....

[Raunchola]

holy f**k!!! i would have freaked out at the end of this song!

[kleofaz]

I like this guy...cool tune

[danielson38]

this makes me want to pull three strings off my guitar.

[MarySusans]

8 people are jealous of his skills.

[belgarion376]

reminds me of hendrix for some reason he just doesnt give a fuck and makes amazing music with what he has

[joesteed7]

he just drops the guitar at the end.....awesome

[jeba189]

Where's that other video with him playing this song in england somewhere outside with a small amount of people?

[WhoReadsMyNameStinks]

Thumbs up if you caught yourself beating your wife during this song

[BlightedArt]

6 people cannot fly.

[MrBeautifulba1]

@BlightedArt WHAT ??!!!

[andy6478]

Class, I have "converted" the semi! Need to sort the tuning, any ideas?

[Gaston986]

I love it how the other musicians in the back join in at his song

[Ultiman54]

Am I the only guy who sees this man and thinks, "Hey! It's a hobo John Malkovich with a crazy ass beard!"?

[dunbar9finger]

I feel sorry for the act that had to come on next after this guy.

[DerPommes89]

hillbilly blues rocks fuckin hard!

[phoebelee100]

naw dude the stig is like Michael Shoemaker. p.s.i flippin love Top Gear

[squealyparsuperstar]

@phoebelee100

Michael Shoe maker is he the guy from Tiwan who glued my Etnies together???

[1996alexrose]

It's Ben Collina

[1996alexrose]

@phoebelee100 Its Ben Collins

[marcuscato]

So the the clock face guy is also a hobo and homeless?

Who'd have his luck?

[SA300]

The bloos!

[dunbar9finger]

Just heard about this guy - wow he's good - and kudos to you Brits for giving him the career he deserves and didn't get here in the States and all that. But... but... This TV show is really weird - what's with the clock-face guy at 1:25. And what drugs were people on when they came up with his costume?

[hai2410]

@dunbar9finger its called Later with Jools Holland, and its usually quirky but its so strange this time as its the Hootenanny edition which airs on new years eve- hence the clock. Great show.

[almcg2]

@dunbar9finger

That's not his costume my man. If you have read anything about him you'd know he was the real thing... homeless and a hobo. Glad the Brits realize real raw tallent when they see it. I'm so bored with formula bands and skanky, pimped out looking groups with auto tune backup.

[dunbar9finger]

@almcg2 Really? That guy with the clock face head isn't wearing a costume? His head really looks like a clock? Amazing. (hint, next time read the comment you're replying to more carefully).

[robslater90]

@dunbar9finger Hahahaha i laughed so much at this comment! =D

[mapexblack]

love the outta time audience as usual
