That's a wonderful song!!

[hardrockmatt]

[kipperpotamus]

@hardrockmatt grand nationial im pretty sure.

[cilli1234]

@hardrockmatt grand national

[momentomorihumanus]

the pure happiness that radiates from this song is incredible. It is impossible not to groove along with this. Its one of those songs that makes you happy no matter what. God i love this :)

[auschick92]

Love this song :)

[RHoles1]

so a few years ago my friend got random concert tickets from his boss, at first i was very hesitant on going since i didnt know the band or anything.

well that band turned out to be john butler trio, needless to say going to that show was one of the best decisions of my life :)

[SirNinjaCrab]

He plays this like nothing! How!?

[Buckethead1221]

Oh. My. God. The solo at the end..........

brb changing pants

[mefistofel007]

CoLoR MuSiC MaKe'S mE HaPpY!!!

[jaynerrrrrrrify]

this makes you feel so much love; like there is so much hope for the world. you feel compelled to be a better person and make positive energy everywhere. love to all people

[InsideJobSeptember11]

this live version is much better than that on the album :)

[nameian777]

this is also a good 'robot dance' song

[teamhren1000]

Not 100% sure if I agree with his view, however, this is one of my favorite songs by John Butler. I would rather listen to a extremely talented musician sing passionately about something he believes strongly. I can respect that. Unlike some stupid asshole rapping about pointless things like clubs, pussy, and ass.

[ZMWinkler]

@teamhren1000 last I checked pussy and ass were both necessary for life, and there should be nobody putting down other people artistic expression. Unless of course you're puttin' down trollin. in fact, everyone should put down trolls.

[csk6767]

@ZMWinkler Pussy and ass is necessary for life? LOL! it aint necessary at all... u should really stop looking for porn at google... get a life.

[ZMWinkler]

@csk6767 you're born from a pussy and if you can't shit from your ass you die. both are necessary for life. you really need to learn semantics. ;)

[DarrenJaguar]

@ZMWinkler Semantics... or anatomy.

[ZMWinkler]

@DarrenJaguar both would've been helpful in this situation.

[Everywhere404]

i miss this rhythm section

[chicotel09]

that is not Danny Carey from Tool....Michael Barker

[RedSkyTree1]

How awesome does one have to be to slide a harmonic? love that sound

[RedSkyTree1]

Going to see JBT and Mama Kin in Portland, Maine this sunday and can't wait! Has anyone seen the new band yet?

[Griffin1554]

You're going to hell for disliking such a beautiful song :)

[MrNatalRocks]

One of the best bands today! the drumer is wonderful, de bassist is wonderful and John is fucking great!

[xxLedZep420xx]

I... Love.... John Butler Trio

[delabre12]

Mozart's son

[CMCSpector]

I love real music this guy is a true musician i hope to be even a tenth this good one day

[crashfleo]

I can´t find a word for this song....it´s the best song i´ve ever heard...fantastic,true beautiful....short.....it´s a perfect masterpiece of music

[sarushinij]

such a great song! I still can't believe how talented the man is!

[shtty17]

Wheres Danny Carey?????

[Elfredo]

When he sings like this he sounds a bit like Anthony Kiedis from RHCP!

[martinnzzz]

@Elfredo yeeeeah, kind of, man!!

[Marilyn11233]

ГАВНО

[gesztidaniel]

We need new words for newsic (music.:) like this

Rhytmelody?

.:)

[Kargaroc]

Utterly amazing group, I miss the old Trio!

[MrBRREEETTTT]

Only John Butler can sum up the problems wrong with humanity in such beautiful way in 5 minutes. 

[AmaraSound]

fantasticoo! mi sono innamorata di questo pezzo! *_*

[CosmicPoonTang]

This song is so underrated :(

[ShenayHudaverdi]

man, he makes my heart pound and gives me shivers and goospumbs galore!

[PraiseHolyTrinity]

Thank You, Most Holy Trinity in One God for the gift of music through John Butler Trio.

[gerrysanful]

WISH I COULD BE LIKE HIM.......

[mikanden123]

Found John Butler and later this song to days ago - And this song has been stuck in my head ever since - MAN why didn't I hear about this guy long time ago???

[xtearshurt1234]

So it was 420, and i came across this song.. and now i'm in love with this man..^-^

[TeeAreify]

Holy shit.

[Hogie182]

Best music ever played on a guitar!

[TheRonnyisawesome]

How can one man write this amazing song!

[TheRonnyisawesome]

How can one man right this amazing song!

[TheRonnyisawesome]

i love the beanie

[DninK]

RIP the old John Butler trio!

New one sucks!

John Butler had the most amazing drummer I've ever heard, and badass bass player!

Why would he change it?

[dooffchris]

@DninK I disagree. They've, or he I should say, never lost their/his heart. I used to think he got worse but I see now that John Butler is, and always has been, who he is. You can't get better than that.

[GStarDragon]

@DninK mate! I'd be shocked if you can pick ANY faults with Shannon or Michael - both absolutely INCREDIBLE musicians! I think Michael Barker's probably the best drummer in Australia right now.

[julekantoni]

He's the most inspiring man I ever seen.

[mahailyadw]

john butler is my hero.

[adamgore1]

this song is one of his best for sure Loosing you and seeing angels are both really good songs to

[1313RAH]

If u liked this u will love the song SOULMOBILIN search it great guitarist!!

[gfekete1962]

smoke on the water :)

[TheOpi8]

@gfekete1962 haha, I never thought of that till now...fire in the sky, smoke on the water lol, awesome.

[amybro1]

HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE THIS?

[TheOpi8]

@amybro1 ex-girlfriends or something like that, I'm sure of it.

[steelyphil41]

i dont understaaaaand, how one could write a song....just as good as this, thats ridiculous..

[SirNinjaCrab]

@steelyphil41 how did he write this at 12? im 13 rite now and wtheck!?

[jazzbassrocker]

My absolute favorite John Butler Trio song...great video and great live version!

[neikocaroline]

They are inappropriately great

[SGWAF]

august rush?

[YourMaIsFit]

Holy shit...I have one of the highest rated comments...you guys are total bro's!!!! Long live JBT hahahahah

[matthunt1992]

hes just soooooo good.. nothing else needs to be said.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

i want to see them a million times again.............

[zizi550]

zajebiste :)

[BinaryAngst]

Haha. Y'all debate too much. The John Butler Trio is awesome. Period.

[MrHitsfromdbong]

hes the best drummer on the scene at the moment every beat every fill is done to perfection!

[mctrikster]

that drummer is awesome

[CosmicPoonTang]

50,000 views have been me

[missgrunge]

wow...this band is really like a fire in the sky:) 10/10

[melisssahh]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM LIVE

=]

Amazing Music..

[Miniamahog]

what tuning is this song in? anyone know?

[123youngster]

B,F#,B,F#,B,C#

[sketchturner88]

I can imagine walking down a dusty road with the sun hitting my back to this song

[Leaf362]

that's whats up

[TheMapleRSproduction]

This song remember me my trip in mexico!!! 

[WarFuckTheSystem666]

I think this is probably the best song i've ever heard

[thechangingman8]

@WarFuckTheSystem666 you need to broaden your horizons

[TheGilhooligan]

UNREAL!!!

[MrPocketGroover]

tool have got nothing on JBT.

[gilbertgodlyddd]

@MrPocketGroover I can't believe this comparison is being made. They're both in my 5 (ish) favourite bands of all time, but they are so massively different... you can't compare a fusion style percussionist with an art rock, progressive metal drummer. It's like asking who's better, Pablo Picasso or Django Reinhardt?

[jbsuperstar]

hmm boring song

[JacoRRb]

@jbsuperstar then why did u stay on the page long enough to comment about it

[TrolleylawrieTV]

Everyone raves about funky tonight or ocean But I think this Is definately one of his top songs If not his best.

[zacsagun5]

@TrolleylawrieTV funky tonight is a terrible song. but yeah, i'd put this up there as his best, probably with seeing angels

[TrolleylawrieTV]

@zacsagun5 I really like Funky tonight as a song, It always gets me. But I just think this is even better thats all. But everyones opinion Is different I see. Anyway, Have a nice day now, peace

[eathemeak]

Jesus...what a song...

[skunk2k]

but why ??

[TrolleylawrieTV]

He likes to keep it fresh with the line up

[Jimmyd2107]

It's a shame that michael and shannon have left/been kicked out and replaced. They were some great qualities.

JB3 FOREVER!

[JiXsPUNK]

hoe about think for yourself instead of asking using a youtube comment

yeah did id again

what waste of time

[pobanmanu]

Is this song against Islamic terrorism or about 911???

[Phazaar]

@pobanmanu It's on the pointlessness of war for religion. Questionable line is 'But I understand that I will defend my family from both sides of misery' - suggests that perhaps war is necessary, or it's ironic/satirical. The 'both sides' of misery is the really confusing part though. Read it as you will I guess :)

[mbluescat61]

A man's words... Olympia. That be a show to catch! It is a pity about Michael and JBT, but men of this profundity work in mysterious ways.

[gerrywm20]

You mean the gig in Dublin?? What about Michael?

[Suspin]

great great song great man love that band *.*

[TheGreenOrchestra]

And a man's words,

had the power to hault the earth in it's tracks,

at least more that any weapon could.

[bausy88]

His song Losing You from the same album is perfection

[gupta5882]

as we make amends by getting our revenge, We sort nothing out, just add to the doubt and God on both sides, if death is justified, whatever the name, then we're all to blame But I dont understand how one can kill a man in the name peace, thats ridiculous But I understand that I will defend my family from both sides of misery

[TheGreenOrchestra]

@gupta5882

Amazing man. You and I both know.

[SatanMadeMe]

His voice looks like RHCP in this song :P

[xoi19]

you are right... in a vew parts...

love jbt and rhcp=)

[nbacswimmer]

agreed.

[shutupjohn]

a very smart man, i dont understand how one can kill a man, in the name of peace cuz thats rediculous, but i understand that i will defend my family from misery

[xoi19]

i love his style *-*

i love his voice*-*

and i love his music!!

[anthonyergo]

killing for peace does seem a tad ridiculous.

[CrazyBrolly]

one of the best bands out there, no doubt!

[aceridgey]

Lol drummer is using a pearl bass

and DW toms..

who he endorsed to ;) ? :P

[damnnargles]

@aceridgey Micheal is endorsed by Pearl and Zilidjian. He uses a Pearl Reference kit and quite correct a brass snare.. Pity he is no longer with JBT.

[AramisAlameda]

Right

[irishtourist]

I discovered John Butler Trio 2 yrs ago while in Ausieland... In my opinion theyre one of the best bands ive heard!

I wish i had a visa to go back!! haha

[sooperdude1992]

i watched them in concert in sydney about a week ago now..

amazing... hes way better live too.

[damnnargles]

@irishtourist Me too,I heard him whilst I was in Austalia in 2001, he's playin the Olympia in April..

[Drawnwolf]

For the sake of people everywhere I wish John butler was better known. Music like this could really help some people :).

[Whathuhwhowhere]

These guys are to good, great song

[BeefusProductions]

anyone know where I can find tabs for this?

[hpsnoob]

thekoda is so fucking right llo

[pasvaisste]

this song is good :)

[thekoda]

they remind me of a mix between rhcp, rage against the machine, and dave matthews. awesome band!

[Romans10Verse9]

I Love all those bands. RHCP and DMB are two of my all time favorites! I don't really see the similarity with JBT though. Explain?

[grayzbeardz]

nice. love music.

[dragonforce123987]

people dont see this and it really shits me off .... .jonh butler trio is one of the most talented head soothing guitar playing and the drummer has gotta be one the greatest in the genre if not more genres

[brooksramsey1]

this drummer is a badass for sure but carter beauford is the man hands down.....

[InnuendoXP]

I think he easily compares to Tools drummer he's that good

[beeceebee1]

Disagree, he's good, but does not compare to Tool's drummer

[zanedude3]

@beeceebee1

true shit right there, the drummer from Tool is good

[FriedCunt1]

@zanedude3

tool? what the fuck ... do you know george kollias ? he is the drummer of nile ;)

[JacoRRb]

@FriedCunt1 nile sucks weiner bro srry kollias aint got jack on danny carey

[tehhhhhd]

@zanedude3 Third.

Danny Carey is just that awesome.

[zanedude3]

@tehhhhhd

amen to that brother

[freakyNina]

@tehhhhhd oh, that's danny carey from tool? man...it' getting better and better :D

[tehhhhhd]

@freakyNina No, no. It's not, we were just talking about Danny Carey ;)

[freakyNina]

@tehhhhhd ah okay :D danny carey rules ;D

[tehhhhhd]

@freakyNina He suuuuure does!

Fuckin' beast :D

[SnollaSnax]

@zanedude3 apples and oranges

[puddined]

@zanedude3 you're not wrong, but isn't this Jason McGann, rather than Danny Carey?

[ClassicalGuitarRulez]

@zanedude3 Tool? Is him Danny Carey? I don't think so...

[YouKnowUAreRight]

@ClassicalGuitarRulez Nope his name is Michael Barker

[unaleska7]

they are doing side projects, not "kicked out"

[AmongDayDreamers]

Danny Carey is an amazing drummer, definitely, but so is Michael Barker. You can't compare 2 drummers, especially at that level of skill. They have their own styles and they play different music. Who you prefer if just an opinion, like all music.

[turpinian]

@beeceebee1 thats really not true. danny carey uses a lot of effects on his toms which make it sound a lot more elaborate than it really is. look up "john butler better man waveaid" and watch michael barker's drum solo. uhhhh-mazing!!!

[wilocaust]

@beeceebee1 different styles of music you cant really compare the two

[ibejamesc]

@beeceebee1

so? completely different styles of music, music isnt a competition anyway, do you think they care if someone on youtube said another drummers better than them?

[ibejamesc]

@beeceebee1

but tools drummer definately is good haha

[JuliarnWK]

Great Comment dude @ YourMalsFit

Prost!

[Herooftimex]

hes got an Ocean of good songs

[2shey93]

very good song!

[kdiopgh]

hes about his music and good vibes, and thats all i got to say, one love

[SolidScream]

Anyone know a really good tab for this song? Or even better, a guitar pro file?

[KingTrebla]

i love the bit just after 2:51

[iheartlachie]

i (L) his slide guitar omg!

[YourMaIsFit]

It's actually in a way depressing how good he is at creating beautiful music...he knows basically no theory and taught himself...this man is a modern day Kurt Cobain or John Lennon or Jimi Hendrix...its sad to see that so little people have heard of him where I come from.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

@YourMaIsFit

Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? Not to be a freakazoid...

[benandfreinds]

@YourMaIsFit where are you fromm?

[cseaton11]

@YourMaIsFit amen.

[rogeliok37]

@YourMaIsFit the best comment I read

[17Luckynumber17]

i heard its illegal to be this god at music in some states

[fjdksla243]

@17Luckynumber17 im assuming you meant 'good' not 'god' but honestly, John may be God, so i'm gonna let that pass hahah.

[Zgoides]

Awesome

[mokuso666]

Im 21 years of age, i was at slane castle and phenoix park and sorry but even though i should like RHCP i dont, and as for this guy! LEGEND!!!! love his music!!

[krusader17]

id say no similiarities in voice to me, but singing style i was thinking that the other day haha. while listening to zebra i was like, RHCP could cover this perfectly haha

[ZAKEREE]

Plz I am Begging Has Any1 Got The Tabs 4 This Song Plz Plz

Cheers

[heavymetalknight]

CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!
