Guthrie Govan Imagine

[smokncandy1992]

what's up with all these nerds..stop hating its weird

[omatu1]

still very much doubt that there are more than 1 person that even recognizes Guthrie. very sad sight indeed.

[DerEchteBold]

This is interesting... but it kinda sucks till 1:50

don't get me wrong, i like lots of hip-hop stuff and i respect classical musicians...

but in this case it doesn't seem to suit each other well

[TheDinoman1000]

This would be actually great without the rap part.

[doeboyfresh863]

hey, guthrie has bills too.

[hereg2007]

the audience is like: "Am I at the wrong gig?"

[MrSharpenis]

"no description available"

indeed.

[raito59490]

oh my god , i love it, and i hate RAP

someone could tell me what is happening in my head ??

I love it so much

[kevykev38]

I don't know man. Guthrie dude WTF? RAAP?

[SziaPocak]

Lil Wayne tries to do it himself, Dizzee hires Guthrie. Lol!

[mashafasha5]

Anything sounds good with an orchestra, a drummer, and specially guthrie on the background.

[hppofm]

@TheMegaWebb well, Guthrie is one man.

[b0njov1]

i wonder if any of the people there know how much of a god Guthrie is.

[lambgtr7]

god he blows but guthries the man

[stewnaaitsabes]

haha now i kinda start liking Dizzee Rascal

[PaDGuitars]

I wonder how many people in that audience appreciated Guthrie's performance

[Will137]

I admire Dizzee Rascal for not being one of these arsehole performers that wails a load of vocals over a musicians solo. He kept quiet, nice work.

[hanifabidin90]

@TheMegaWebb orchestra is how many person you idiot, guthrie is one person.......and guthrie is guest musician only got the solo, of course he cant show his true potential

[Nevigo]

Oh man,I am sooo tired of rap.Guthrie is another thing. :)

[Hankthumb]

Never been a fan of Dizee but if this is the band he uses live, he has just sold me a ticket

[wasiokun]

なにやってんだガスリーw

[PGROSYE02]

That's called playing with your balls.

[ChaosInExpansion]

Now this is a rapper with good taste

[cdmpolivalence2]

^^

[r0g3r]

This is like seeing an actor you admire in a really bad movie.

[yashvajinmaxmelan]

@r0g3r Your comment tells that you have no idea what Guthrie thinks about this rapper. Guthrie is glad to have a part in this show, according to one of his interviews.

[MrMurens]

@r0g3r I prefer this music than the normal Hip Hop...

[112358miau]

@r0g3r mmm, you can admire Matt Damon.....i mean, admire someone doesnt make him good. For me this is like seing a really GOOD actor on a bad movie

[HAC96818]

omg that was freaking awesome.

[Ozznize]

i give props to dizzee for getting quality musicians and players, like guthrie, for his live show and giving them time in the spotlight. it is a good way of showing your respect

[danbrazier]

@Ozznize amen to that, respecting every time of music and instrument sends a great signal to anybody musical that watches this no matter what they're in to - plus it looks cool.

[sixpounderBo]

ohhh boy guthrie just friggin stole the show, but to be honest Dizee won my respect just because he has such a good musical taste!!!

[wseeback]

Samhandwiches - it's very common for musicians to just rent their gear from whatever local music store or supply warehouse from where the show is located.

[tomyhas]

The solo start at 2:30 . thumbs up if you agree (?LOL??)

[CEimajellyfishCE]

Dizzee and Guthrie are doing something quite ingenious! They are mixing two of the biggest genres in music together meaning that they'll get a massive turnout to all their gigs. They'll get the people who like rap to see Dizzee and the Rockers to see Guthrie. Also I'm not really a fan of rap but it's goes really well with shreds. Plus the musical elements of Dizzee's work are all pretty good!

[FragmentedPenis]

@CEimajellyfishCE Guthrie ain't no rock guitarist...

[juanpablo1990mx2]

Symphonic Rap Jazz Fusion = WTF?

[IverDaBest]

@juanpablo1990mx2 But hey, it works!

[BlackChace]

the girl at 2:19 actually distracted me from focusing on Govan lol

[Miljardimperiet]

i think it's horrible that so many of these comments are in the vein of "yeah guthrie is good but rap music is shit". just the fact that this video is called "Guthrie Govan Imagine" and not "Dizzee Rascal Imagine" is a perfect example of how small minded some music fans are. try to appreciate the melding of genres in this song instead of waiting for the shred solo. the song is beautiful

[SamHandwiches]

I'm here to look at Guthrie...but that percussionist left the price sticker on the back of his gong

[rocklobter]

@SamHandwiches and how much was it? :p

[SamHandwiches]

@rocklobter haha 

[rockman00blues]

That guitar solo... omg... Just, amazingly badass :O

[PGROSYE02]

when that shit sped up it got intense.

[pakk82]

its a video of dizee who hired the whole young punks, yet, guthrie gets the attentiion

[willeng84]

Wow for a rapper to have a REAL band and I know they play live with "Bands" but this is a fucking REAL band with CRAZY musicians and an orchestra. The fact that Guthrie got that lead during a rap song amazes me.

[upT3mpo]

I love it how when Guthrie is ripping it most of the sheep in the audience are looking at the rapper.

[Lesia44]

Gets a lot better once the embarrassing zero talent in the baseball hat shuts the fuck up and lets the musicians get on with it. How self deluded do you have to be to step on a stage with someone like Guthrie when you have so little to offer yourself?

[GuitarsOfArp]

@Lesia44 WTF is your problem!!! Dizze is an increadibly good muscican. Pure fuckin quality...U must be confusing him with Eminem or Lil wayne

[Lesia44]

@GuitarsOfArp He's not a musician. He's a pop star. Calling him a musician is absurd.

[GuitarsOfArp]

@Lesia44 Okay he´s a popstar but i still think he´s of a very good and rare (among his "label" of artists) caliber.

[XAlphaZEROX]

@GuitarsOfArp Despite my avid hate towards this genre... I find Dizzee actually quite a diamond in the rough. He's not rapping about just random crap like partying or having sex, and the music he writes is quite tasteful. Above all that, the people that he chose to perform with him live is a great bunch... especially having Guthrie Govan on stage. Amaaaazziiinnngggg.

[me86680]

@Lesia44 fo sho! but at least he must recognize guthrie's mountain of taste and skill. most rappers wouldn't even be smart enough to be impressed.

[TheMMalhas]

Guthrie saves the show!

[Tzachi076S]

wtf

[bobob13131]

I didn't know rappers played air guitar so well.  Talent, no doubt.

[fanqueen]

guthrie´s carrier is taking off! He is being valued

[ShredST]

It just struck me how bizarre hearing wide vibrato in this kind of music is.

[nitro855]

best rapper ever i dnt care

[milox789]

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BrokenWingman]

haha, killer. 

[schissgring]

wtf? should that be imagine by lennon?

guthrie with a stupid talentless hip hop idiot???

10000 thumbs down!

[Timmonsec]

@schissgring that means you didnt finish watching the video? i suggest u do...

[schissgring]

@Timmonsec absolutly i stoped wehn the stupid hip hopper starts to make noise ;-)

I love guthries style but i hate new shool hip hop!

[Timmonsec]

@schissgring i understand, neither do i... but i strongly suggest you hear the last part, where guthrie shines!

[schissgring]

@Timmonsec you are right 2:30 thats the time when the fun beginns :-)

[Timmonsec]

@schissgring lesson: with guthrie, you always have to give a chance until the master makes something worthless a fucking piece of art...

[Marioguitar]

that might have been the worst solo played by Guthrie, but the best payed. I liked though

[funnyguy1321]

@Marioguitar He probably was holding back because none of the people there would live through one of his real solos. Us guitar players can withstand dying from them. He knows this.

[marceloguita10]

Amazing...

[maxomilian]

I didn't know justin timberlake could play cello. Don't believe me, look at 3:35 that guy looks just like him

[maledrops]

i love how Guthrie shows the symphonic instrument players how "wrong notes" work!

[oigres33]

Idiotas, estais adorando al dios equivocado... guthrie es el dios y no el imbecil este de dizee... madre de dios, y ni siquiera creo en la biblia, pero a veces. El arbol no os deja ver el bosque. La música se va a la mierda cuando ves que un artistazo como Govan tiene que acompañar mierda de este calibre. En fin...

[Pusshead1980]

i would not judge Guthrie by this video.... lame

[Timmonsec]

Now this is a rapper who made a fine use of his millions... hiring Guthrie Govan...

[fanqueen]

@Timmonsec Hahahaha right!

[Timmonsec]

This is just an ironic proof of how humble guthrie is... music is for sharing, and he knows and enjoys that...

[IFulcrum]

I reckon that Dizzee is lucky to be performing with such talented musicians and the guys are lucky to be performing with Dizzee because he's made a success of himself and is clearly on top of his game. He's really a hard-working guy same as the rest of them but he happens to spend more time in the public eye.

[ShredST]

Guthrie playing in a talentless band? hahahaha. I don't think a band this tight backed by a orchestra is talentless at all. Some people really need to listen to music instead of guitar.

[bnapoleonc123]

@ShredST Well said, thats a tight band, they are pro players! Bacing musos are some of the best in the world, they have to be, just cause they are not household names doesn't make them bad players.

[damiano100]

Wow this is a good song! gave me goosbumps when guthrie came in with the solo :P

[dsv861]

so good!!

[ninrocket]

Guthrie is great for one main reason. He keeps his mind open. He constantly is trying to learn new ways to express himself vocally with the guitar. Make the sound first...then learn the theory. Not the other way around.

[iJigglypuff]

how do you mix a talentless rapper with one of the best guitar players alive today? what the hell guthrie? You picked dizie over Bireli?...you can choose ANYONE you wish and you wanted....a rapper?

[ratso1234]

@iJigglypuff Dude are you fucking kidding me? Have you ever actually listened to dizzee rascal? He writes all this shit himself. Sure he can't play guitar as well as guthrie, but he's a fucking musical genius and I'm absolutely sure he's more than flattered to play with Dizzee.

[openmind1984]

@ratso1234 I don´t know if Dizzee is good singin´or writtin´or whatever but sure he is really wellknown artist right now, and is not all about that ? I m sure he is payin really well Guthrie´s services and to be honest, Guthrie seem to have fun playin everything, so no problem.... anyway, in my opinion, he is not the best rapper ever...

[iJigglypuff]

@ratso1234 Im sure he was more forced into it rather than a choice he made. Someone as grand as govan wouldn't choose to play with a rapper. And writing rap lyrics himself is just like tossing paint onto a canvas and calling it art. Some people think the lopsided square is ART. Its the same as saying Rap is music. For shame. One of the best guitar players on earth playing with a rap band. Lol...guthrie wtf are you doing man. Wake up already and start playing some good talent already.

[viddelt]

@iJigglypuff U should stop bieng that ignorant, Dizzee writes the music of all instruments and is a very talented man who enjoys what he is doing... U are just bashing cause u hate rap

[hellookelly]

@viddelt Rap requires no skill what so ever compared to an actual instrument. Congrats to him for enjoying his rap. That doesn't make it okay for Guthrie to play with a talentless band. You can do better, Mr. Govan. Get the hell away from these idiots and start playing with other amazing guitar players and musicians.  It's time. You are ready.

[viddelt]

@hellookelly Lol, that is just silly... Even seen interviews with Guthrie talkjing about Dizzee ? He says himself that Dizzee is a talented man, which he is. Guthrie is not an ordinary instrumental guitarist, he actually listens to everything. He listens more to electronica/trance nowadays rather than guitar music. And other projects? Well, playing bass with a Dj band, Rock/progg with Asia and GPS and alot more, He is the man... And you should think more

[vheadfacelegs]

@viddelt dizziee also pays his wages...

[albertmetal93]

@iJigglypuff He has to pay the bills... unfortunately he can't live only with his music (like the 85% of musicians. The majority have to teach or do gigs for famous people)

[danielpombo16]

@iJigglypuff

You clearly don´t understand the music business... This is outside gutries confort zone . This is a great project with and orchestra and so forth . It also gives him exposure to many people whou would normally would never see him play.

Ingorant fool

[Dudleyrulz]

i love how the video is entitled "Guthrie imagine" rather than "Dizee imagine" lol
