Newton Faulkner - Teardrop (Comical intro: Rusted Root)

[Kern485]

Saw this version at Glasto, was sold, huge fan, so glad I have lived to witness one of the greats.

[sixstringgirl11]

i love this man :D xxx

[gunthernorman]

looser - any chance you pen some of your own songs, hahhah cunt

[10kokesly]

this guy should stick music, not comedy...

[AxDensity]

@10kokesly I thought he was entertaining, and he has a bubbly sort of personality, but ur obviously not very appreciative of such things

[rathbone3000]

Ahaa yeah right, marry me newton....im not gay but i do love him xD

[6Satu9]

I thought he was awesome to begin with, but...then...

BAM. He does a Rusted Root cover.

Now, I'm just plain in awe.

[rheeayahhboooom]

he is fab.. :)

[evenstar006]

marry me newton (:

[flynnt7]

legend liive ! :L

[AdamMoysen]

he should do a cover of Rusted Root and release it!

but... ya know... with audible lyrics! :D

[nasalscarecrow]

Hilarious impression of Rusted Root at the beginning!

[vBlogmiscarrage]

This IS cool I liek It.

[willking95]

I know the first bit from ICE AGE!

[moshpotpaul]

What a guy...

[lord5ugg5]

The crowd should be ashamed of themselves. Too stoned to recoginise musical talent like this. He is just a very good artist who has been pushed to the back because he ain't (no offence) pretty. Einstien was no looker, but he taught us some shit.

[milkymara]

@lord5ugg5 i think he's very pretty :)

[RAYMO1287]

so talented wat a guy!

[gonsas7]

dude what? no shouts no cheers no nothing for the man? hes such a talent and everyone is like yeah cool ... FUCK YOU WORST CROWD EVER i hope you feel ashamed of yourselves seriously >_>, Newton your the man!!!!! good luck in your future projects!

[rgerrity07]

@gonsas7 This guy is great, what you were seeing (i think can't be sure) was him opening for REO speedwagon and Pat Benatar this summer. A lot of these dates were Botanical Garden Club shows which reserved the first 100 feet to club members who as you might expect where quite affluent older crowd. The rest of us common dogs(memphis BGC show) were way back & barricaded . He was very good. It must have been REO that invited him because they rocked the crowd Benatar was sleepy

[TheKuttingRoomz]

He is the epitome of the one-man-band

[mattsicles]

One man. One guitar. Awesome. Stick that in your autotune pipe and smoke it.

[itsallinthehands]

lmfao i love that intro hahahah

[desarbolada]

jose gonzalez has a great version of this song too

[iamthebirdfearme]

Lol, I love him so much

[TheGeorgina1993]

mucho amor for the faulkner and his gingerness :)

[Snabelbooda]

uuuuuuuh goosebumps 1:00

[pollsayspaul]

what guitar is he using???

[likeasquid]

@pollsayspaul It's custom made for him search "newton faulkner guitar" in google or something

[XNo1XLuvzXMeX]

haha! He does a really good impression of the Rusted Root song :D.

A walk down memory lane..

He should have covered that as well lol :P. He would have owned.

[treasurefull]

by far one of the best covers.

[AytonHunter]

I would have been chuffed to be able to see Newton Faulkner live, AND I'd be more chuffed if I didn't have to pay. I'd pay fucking anyways, because this man is amazing! He may be ginger, but his dreads are kickass, and he is much more talented than alot of shitty artists out nowadays :D Touche!

[imsheepboy]

"worst crowd" yeah, nice one. It's a free festival and they're watchin dread lock ginge man. Exciting.

[billyvassi]

@imsheepboy Yes so how much you paid to get in dictates your appropriate attentive response to beautiful music. ? and his haircut....Jesus it depresses me how much your going to lose out and miss, in life being that much of a smug dick.

[imsheepboy]

@billyvassi How much you pay to go to a festival/gig is indicative of how much you like the artist(s) performing. Goin' to a free festival and seein this chump ain't gonna make ya whoop and holler is it? I may be smug, but he has ginger dreadlocks. 1-0.

[xbethravenx]

@billyvassi hear hear! he's a shallow prick, people like him do my head in. They dismiss people straight off on superficial bs . So he has ginger dreadlocks and isn't a fuckin slave to so called "fashion," he clearly invests his time doing something much more meaningful! you think your'e so awsome sheepboy , lets see what u got..

[imsheepboy]

@xbethravenx Stop getting emotional. He's talented I'll give ya that, don't change the fact he's a ginge. My first reply was to the "worst crowd" comment, it's a fuckin free festival, The Cribs and Super Furry Animals were on, no cunt turned up to see this douche. I don't think I'm awesome either, I KNOW IT.

[xbethravenx]

@imsheepboy one word for you my friend- deluded.

[xbethravenx]

@imsheepboy  actually, this guy is awsome check out some of his videos..

[angryfishman]

I WANT THE TABS FOR THAT!

i can play it in standard tunning, but newtons tunning for teardrop is in open g major (also can play) and i want to be able to play send me on my way in that tunning, so could somebody find the tabs for it and tell me :P

[markbong]

@angryfishman cant post links but its at ultimateguitardotcom with the dot obviously being a .

[thestormlscoming]

lmaoooooooooooooooooooo he is hilarious. most artists lack this comedic conversation-esque type aspect to their shows. i hope i get to see him live soon.

and the rusted root story is so funny. lmao, he abused his vocals

[ThatDaniGirl]

His voice is beautiful and his playing is legendary.

Why people like Kesha get noticed...

[levimilk]

should have done send me on my way!

[djaj1990]

why are they standing so far away? I'd be trying to touch him haha

[dancefreak0292]

saw him perform this live yesterday, absolutely amazing, i managed to fall even more in love with him during the 1 1/2 concert :)

[ChazJayHeaton]

omg!!! :D hope he plays this when i go and see him in july :D thanks for the upload (:

[BenChristianFilms]

Even though hes pissing about he still plays that Rusted Root Intro Fantastically, and taking that drum hook from Teardrop and playing it on the the guitar like its some kind of african drum.... god im in awe

[bassmansam2007]

Newton is God

[teammabaws]

This guy is an instument playing legend and should be bound in the books of history forever, and his name should be sir isac, not just newton !

[xxxLAULAxxx]

Legend!!

[placebo525]

in the beginning of teardrop when he grabs the mic and smiles... oh my

[jackzycmills]

ther was a time in a bar wher 2 drunk guys askd him for his his guitar and he giv tem it. so he must be a sound guy

[samwhad]

@gunthernorman prick

[sparklyAli]

@tigers4ever86 He must be an awesome friend. He's so talented and seems like such a nice bloke :)

[whovian39]

First time i saw him i thought he looked a lot like derren brown!

[UkMetro]

if you dont look at him and just listen to him talking he sounds exactly like derren brown...

[mourningdove169]

I'm so in love with him.

[10sboyz]

Matilda!

[27m00nwalker]

ICE AGE FTW!!!!!!!

[hcrawford123]

He is freakin amazin, seein him live next month, cant wait!! :)

[HabuqipNogopuny]

dirty girl reminds me of one I seen on tiny[dot]cc/mygfsucksyou

[baby98blue98]

i love Newton Faulkner <3

[seanx666]

its a shame that people who have talent and can sing and play an instrument struggle while others who can do neither are popular and make millions

[AndreasFalk8]

they prefer it that way

[bennyboy273yeah]

@seanx666 totally agree with u

[tigers4ever86]

Spot on! Sam has more talent than most, he's a mate of mine

[pouyan242]

@seanx666: Which category does this clown fall into ?

[seanx666]

NF did a creatively original acoustic cover of an awesome song to begin with (i.e. He has talent)

[pouyan242]

@seanx666: I initially only watched the first minute, which was pretty stupid and gave up. After watching the whole video, I have to agree, it's a great cover of Massive Attack.

[thegazzamataz]

@seanx666 Your spot on mate - no surprise you have such a high thumbs up count - It really does begger belief when the bench mark is so high with the likes of this ( N-F ) and many more, and all i hear is drivel day in day out .

[wavesgirllover]

@seanx666 yeeees that's true!

[TheCharliePearce]

@seanx666 I hope you're not implying that Newton is the latter...

[seanx666]

@TheCharliePearce I thought it was obvious that NF has the talent and "artists" like Britney Spears and Justin Beiber are just music industry drones...

[ChemicalMikeUK]

@seanx666 fucking right!

[charcharbinx]

This was the first video I ever saw of Newton, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it that day a couple of years ago.

He is a god with his playing, and his music has really affected me for the better.

Thanks for being you Newton!

[Films4You]

I wish he would do a full cover of Send me on my Way by Rusted Root, it would be amazing!!!

[VievezterT]

it is

[TheTomatenfisch]

this intro sounds like the ice age tune???

[SinisterFelix]

Sounds like it, doesn't it?

That is because it IS the Ice Age Tune!

Also, i listen to this video all the time, mostly because of that short Rusted Root intro. What a shame he didn't put this on HBBR.

[Classdrummer95]

It is :)

[CreativeChick8]

wow. someone who can actually sing live.

absolutely stunning.

[rkfan2323]

dang. he's good at mulitasking.

[Aiiwolf]

LOL hahaha! I love this guy... I would buy anything this guy puts out. He has asuch a great personality and hes such a great talent. :)

[GiGiNote223]

HAHUWAHAHAHAHAHAH..

It Would definitley be awesome.. but the way he sings, and plays is always good, because it fits.. love his songs..

[MrGraveyman]

he should really cover send me on my way, it'd be awsome

[Vanta]

massive attack rulless

[mistressmissi]

I love this vid :) he's so funny and original <3 brilliant stuff, thanks for posting

[TeddyBakesher]

Thats not have you play that song at all

[wildeyedchild]

lets have you never speak english again

[stevies5]

Great stuff!!

Always sends me straight to the rusted root original. Worth staying to hear the man sing tho, he's decent.

[dimmu1405]

love it!!

[EverTheOptimistCJ]

ah wish he had put rusted roots onto the album instead of teardrop.

[chrisitneywenney83]

WOW...That was amazing...i never knew that song could be covered acoustically. AMAZING JOB!

[mecrutio19]

Worst crowd.

[turnbacktime]

@mecrutio19 why?

[sjones130]

Can't wait to see him at Cois Fharraige. :)

[mrseedjnr]

awesome- shame he could not do longer- great set!!!

[distprod]

This blows away Jose Gonzalez shitty cover. Newton gets the essence of the song, and his percussive tap really adds a lot while being perfectly in rhythm.

[babybee123]

"i disagreed.....no-one listened" hes a rare man. How often do you find a cute, massively talented man... who is funny? very rare indeed.

[jinkywantsyou]

Look no further than right here, missy. =p

[bigassmatic]

so i must be very rare?

[PeopleShldSmileMore]

i really like send me on my way by rusted root!!.. newtons quite funny tho.. and he doe have a point :) cant wait to see him in a few weeks time! :) i love how he creates a beat by tapping on his guitar!

and completely agree how he sounds like derren brown! how odd!

x

[staryglass]

i do like his music though so :P

[staryglass]

he should shut the fuck up about that song coz it's really nice song and he has some stupid songs aswell

[kurtchircop]

he didnt say it was a bad song

[TomDGW]

go fuck yourself, seriously

[mflemin1]

he sounds just like derren brown when he talks!!

[asmit573]

He totally does!

[parcoreLA]

weird how he was on his own at this festival...saw him last week..he had this black massive bodyguard with him and a helper on stage tuning his guitars whilst he was playing!!hes soo amazingg!first time i heard him playing on the tv i fel in love with his music...simply perfect!

[Charleyloves]

wow he really is talented spesh with the thumping guitar and playing at the same time! x

[danijanimi]

2 thumbs up..^_^..

[forsakennotpreffered]

legend

[theshrinkage]

i really wish he would cover that entire song

[oxnist]

if you haven't seen it yet, find the interview where he explains how he came to choose this song, this is not a forgery , this is 1 man with 1 instrument

[wizardcam]

The ability to sing like that or play guitar would be very cool. The fact he does both at the same time is nothing sort of astounding.

[AndreasFalk8]

outstanding voice

[Benguitarfreak]

he is the most talented acoustic artist i have ever heard!!! his voice is soooo unique!

[DeclanBoyce]

does anyone here know if there IS gonna be a new album cause ive herd lodsa rumors but u no nt sure if its true

[dingbatthe1st]

Yep, out in August - he said that at a gig recently. Can't wait.

[glasgw]

yeah it's called hand built by robots, i recommend it. first song on it is very cool intro

[shelf1122]

yh he should do a cover of rusted root, like the whole song :)

[goldrush22]

hes such an amazing guitarist and singer

[donbukhari]

he's absolutely brilliant

[Je33ic6t]

yey i love him hes amazing :D

[Numanelo]

he says that the vocals are wierd, they are wierd... but the way he sings it is so awesome... he should do a full cover.. fuck the corporations.. he should just do a cover and release it :)

[ManFromTheNorthside]

Percussion, Melody, Rhythm, and Vocals. Talk about multitasking

[MisterrJonezz]

his skills are mental...

obviously vocals, which are pretty hard

high note hammer ons and pull offs

bass lines and chords

rhythm

crazzyy talent

[str8rida444]

how the fuck do u learn 2 play like that lol wat a fuckin legend

[TheEleventhGate]

He uses open chord tunings...if you play you should learn these tunings.....you can play whole chords with zero, one or two fingers....so much cleaner and easier than standard tuning

[hellopair]

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e

[shelf1122]

The send me on my way cover is so good.

I love this man, he is awesome!

[charlottesvae]

Hilarious :)

[creultothedarkness]

i love him so much ^^ haha

Xx

[dennisjespersens]

[immortalsyndrome]

[knobjockey12]

[toohstiurf]

[Kyrano]

[jedharper]

[Theowk]

[MudvayneMegan8]

He is so fantastic.

[Kyrano]

i thought it was good.. the first time i saw it.

shame he milks the hell out of it and ses pretty much the same thing to the audience at every single gig

[YazEmaGray]

What's the song he was playing at the start?

[SecondaryMessenger]

Send me on my way, by Rusted Root. It's on the soundtrack of Ice Age.

[Theowk]

Do you know where the info box is?

[TheOneAndOnlyIt]

"i was told I wasn't allowed to do that coz it was silly"

I'd love to see him in concert! It would be so much fun!

[MistyWitch2601]

Love it

[allesbesserwisser]

That's really awesome.

This guy is fantastic ^^

[lilhalfback]

jack johnson's got NOTHIN on this guy and his sheer talent :)

[DOtheRANGA]

OMG he is so good at playing the guitar it's not funny !! i am jelous, caus i can't play it at all. Damn, he is awesome !!

[ShannonGoreLOL]

I love how the beginning is more of a stand up, than a concert haha

[weemarkarr]

MAN CRUSH ON NEWTON FAULKNER !!!!

[TheGreenFrog95]

Agreed! (hahaha, i've commented that on so many of his vids!)

[bohski2004]

Yeah i agree, a true star and he sings and plays the rusted root song so much better than they do.

[J0shjoyce]

what a star! this man is a ledge!

[lagesag]

seems that everyone has her own version of the lyrics :)

[palmarjp]

It's just the coolest mother fucker out there.

[bohski2004]

what a fantastic version. real talented

[p3rs0n42]

Haha, i love it when he says:

"take a sip of water after that... bizzare... form of music"

"it's really weird, but i can hear Take That, really loud from over there"

lol. newton's got a mint sense of humour.

we should start a petition to have Send me on my Way on the new album!!

[Larro20]

It's funnier when you know he says 'after that bizzare form of abuse'

:)

[AllanMCI]

bizzare... form of abuse

[Randomlystoned]

id love to learn how he plays it

[Cody111079]

the first song should totally be in the next CD, it's hillarious!

[deadaerozeppelin]

i dont understand who would think rusted root is silly. well maybe silly but still an awesome band!

[XRunawayShinobiX]

What a legend!!

[duckswithguns]
