Cuz when the bassist dies, Coulten will be still alive.

[RickTheStickman2]

That bassist was the apocalypse.

Sucked a lot on Easy.

Thank gawd the Guitarist and Coulton saved us all.

[drumsfouraliving]

@RickTheStickman2 "The bassist was the apocalypse" That's hilarious

[CletusDelRalph]

The Enrichment Center regrets to inform you, that this next song is impossible, make no attempt to play it

[LudiciousKing]

[ArjenTM]

I actually like it when people fail and can laugh about it. =]

It makes them human and shows that they're doing it because they're having fun. =]

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

That fucking bassist sucked. Drummer was all right. Guitarist was the ultimate savior.

[blackheart103]

@YouHaveMetYourMaker It's rock band, man. Relax.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

@blackheart103 It's not just Rock Band... IT'S LIFE!!!!!!!

[616hybrid]

to all the people who complain about him failing his own song: he jonathan coulton actually did really well! it was the drummer and the bassist who failed the song! at the end of the song the bassist failed for the third and final time, meaning that they were guaranteed to fail. if they'd managed to hang on for a second longer the song would have finished. blame the drummer and bassist for being crap, not jonathan or the guitarist!

[fgsfdsfgsfds1]

fucking people around screaming like shit so u cant hear a damn thing

[BenioxoXox]

omg own song failed so many times? And he's an artist? Well, he still owns, yeh, but how could they FAIL it?

[TheJWKK]

this is why men rule the world

jking :D

[kingfanboi]

omg people cant even play real instruments i mean im a rockband noob and i could 100% that on hard they suck at rockband i mean come on how pitiful are people now on days i bet they cant even play real instruments

[vortigaunt25]

@kingfanboi Yes, because hitting five buttons and a trigger is SUCH an accomplishment. Just like a lack of punctuation.

[Erikster09]

@kingfanboi You sir, are an idiot. You're youtube account says you're 15, but you look like you're 10. Now stop bragging over your apparent godness at rockband. Hard is not even that great, if you can do it on Expert, then good for you. Now go away before I turn off the internet.

[SohnoJam]

@kingfanboi Wow dude, listen to what he says in the beggining. He did play that song on real intstruments, he just "had to" do it that way too. Wow, you are pitiful for being a fucking asshole.

[JamesEvesque]

@kingfanboi your an idiot, Jonathan is having fun. He preforms this song with his guitar all the time. Try this site called Youtube. type in "Still Alive J" in the search

[kingfanboi]

@JamesEvesque i know i was mainly talking bout thte bassist and the drummer i dont have anything wrong with john but what the hell brought you to my ancient comment anyways???

[hundredsac]

the bassist is really bad at this game lulz

[theblackcrowzero]

The cake is a lie.

The pie is a spy.

I should give you cake,

but instead you will die.

[victoroos]

it's awsome, yeah, ofcourese, the problem doesn't notice it really

there are sooo funny

[HHSW99HC]

I've always wondered what would happen if an actual singer sang their song on Rock Band.

[NSArachnoSniper]

the pie is a false.

[Ashran92]

the cakes is a lie.

[xxsinner51xx]

This is the most epic thing I have ever seen in my life

[funkiersnoog]

I like this song and all, but the makers of Rock Band need to stop putting songs like this in the game. Give us actual music. Stop putting songs in that promote other games made by your firends, and stop putting in songs by bands that you are a member of. Give us real songs!!! No more cross promoting for your pet projects.

[HolmesyMcgee]

@funkiersnoog Well let's be completely honest here. Is Portal and anything related to it part of Harmonix? No. It's not promoting any "pet projects" It's not supposed to be promoting any other game here, yes the song is in portal, but it's not an advertisement. Jonathan Coulton fans love the song, and why not want to play it on Rock Band? It's a completely legitimate song, so it's not like that isn't a real song, and if you disagree, you need to reevaluate what actual music is.

[JamesEvesque]

@funkiersnoog the song is real, stupid, you just heard it. Written by Coulton, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants to with it.

[funkiersnoog]

@JamesEvesque You scrolled back through 7 months worth of comments to call me stupid? Bwa ha ha ha!!!! I forgot I even looked at this video.

[mokaza40]

the only winner is jonathan............and GLaDOs

[maxplaying]

super!!!!

[DixxCz]

Only Jonathan not SUX :D

[ROFLMAOSCHINSKI]

So much Fail, but then again so much win :'D

[Hooken7]

Lol, the only one doing remotely well is Jonathan XD I also like how they passed the song but still failed.

[5949729]

the cake is a lie anyway

[FreightTrain93]

If ya do some godmodding, you'll find that the cake is NOT a lie. lol

[maxplaying]

el pastel es verdad

[Raynelm]

Song Failed! But 99% complete

[2toybato]

WTF

STILL ALIVE

GlaDOS?

[crazymonkeycrap]

portal 2 FTW

[razzlefrazzle123]

That's an A plus, baby, that was an A plus.

[goremister54321]

LOL! LEO HAD A BOT!

[CletusDelRalph]

Jonathan pwnd, although those other guys?

[PrinnyEnforcer]

To meemee: I meant that even though they didn't do so well on rock band, the actuall song in the game is awesome.

[MrJaHorton]

X] I bet Veronica was PISSED that she was under Leo's side of the screen.

[kingnarutorule]

Song...failed.... Ehehehe....Haaaaaahahahahahaha­hha! xDDD

[luckyjinxer]

rox it leo

[POPOSHRED]

This isnt "their" song its "his" song the other ones are only some noobs..and a girl....that ROCKS!!

[DeadSnipe37]

Haha jonathan was the only one who got it "100%" right.

[TruAscendancy]

@DeadSnipe37 well it's his song, you'd expect his to be able to sing his own song. haha

[casseerole]

Why did this comment that's wrong get a thumbs up and the comment that's right get a thumbs down?

[93hothead]

Their are band is used to playing real instruments not game controllers loolololollolll

[KyleeFulk]

Fucking awesome. Only THEY could fail at their own song lol

[vortigaunt25]

@KyleeFulk Rush once failed at Tom Sawyer on Guitar Hero. So...yeah...

[SohnoJam]

@KyleeFulk It's only Coulton's song, and he did awesome.

[VincentValentineDC]

Lol! i got 99% expert afterlife yesterday with my buddie never did beat it xD

[zeldafan242]

can they see what they're playing?

[Debbie321lopez]

Black mesaaaa ruulleeeezzzz

[themrb4]

dude I think you missed the point ... its his song ...

[alphaDreamer]

The cake is a lie!

[Marspilot8]

Bull fucking shit...The "Cake" is NOT a Lie...ITs Real budy!!!! Its at the end!!!! and Since they Own The Song it makes it ok for them to suck at fake ass rockband.

[GTAModdingVids]

The cake is a lie if you play Gmod and try pick up the cake with the psyhics gun you can't.

But you can pick up the companion cube.

[PrinnyEnforcer]

They ownd the real version, so its ok.

[meemeesiko57]

The "real" version?

The guy in the middle is Jonathan Coulton. He wrote the song.

Anyways, this is awesome. It almost makes me want to buy Rock Band.

Almost.

[cjwynes]

What was Leo Laporte, THE Tech Guy, doing there playing plastic bass for Jonathan Coulton?

[FarOutFarSpace]

That was cool, Just chilling out and haveing a good time :)

[vittau]

Jesus they suck lol!

But it was awesome anyway. =D

[weedog3]

any of you think taht maybe they havent ever played GH or Rockstar be4?

no so excuse them for not being good at somthing they havnt done before

[Akaitsuki85]

one would think they would practice if they were going to have it in the show *shrugs*

[holyhandgrenade999]

The drummer and bassist sucked. Which begs the question: How does one suck at a bass part where you're only playing half the time?

Not really a big deal, I guess. The vocals are the only part that anyone pays attention to, right?

[freakaknight]

How can you suck at the bass part?!

[JamesEvesque]

@freakaknight By being used to playing a real bass guitar... =P

[steelie11]

joco is my hero <3

[MoarOfTehRawkege]

Dude, I actually thought they passed, haha

[nobodylovesjamison]

The cake is a lie!

[Enochcainx256]

One of the greatest things I have ever seen.

[veronicadredd22]

that made v GIGGLE

[mastaODI56]

DAH.......

[AllanKun47]

are they from Valve? :O

[XRayden]

Leo Laporte should practice more at rockband ;)

[Tavataar]

Nah the girl was doing fine, she was playing guitar. The cowboy and the drummer were screwing it up hardcore!

[souter124]

the girl on the far left...she sucks ass...ruins the whole song for everyone

[Vadergeek]

If their bass player was good at Rock Band, they would have gotten through easily.

[1001Torro1001]

Best drummer evah!! xD

[Kranitoko]

He fails on his own song xD hahah :P

[EternityLastsForever]

Its fnny cus its true!

[tigerslick1111]

he made it the girls kept failing

[gobbagu]

She should be at home making "sammiches"

[Falco648]

That was sad. I hope they koew theres a no fail mode.

[MetalMarioFist]

this is the first rock band.

[Falco648]

Oh. My bad then. (I can tell now by there instruments)

[evilgoatmonkey]

so... they lost? at 99%?

[ArnaudHoude]

what a band XD

[ebmusicman84]

How do you fail that bass part too? lmao JoCo rocked it thought :)

[ljtothemax]

that

drummer

ruined

it

XD

[BurnieBurned]

lmao that drummer sucks :P

[PotU2]

teh cake...... is lie.......

[LucarioandSuicuneFan]

The cake isn't a lie. You just don't happen to get any in the game. (After you kill GLaDOS and apparently yourself as well, you can see there was a cake still from Abby's party before the GLaDOS activation).

[TheRealNipaw]

The fact that you don't get any cake MAKES IT A LIE@@@

[ZoninV]

lol, Jonathan can't play his song that well! but its still awesome.

[TheEranster]

he can do it really well. just not on rockband. check it on another video of him doing it without it.

[MeganN1cole]

Didn't think he was bad here. Here he's singing it in the female vocalist's key which is going to be in a slightly less comfortable range for him.

[jspade1019]

He was actually singing an octave lower than the female vocalist. It should have been easier, but he was singing sharp because he concentrated too much on the arrow pointing whichever way, instead of just singing the tune by ear. It is his song after all.

[avelvetember]

thats because he wrote the song. he wrote it for the game.

[TheEranster]

you write it as you think i dont know about that.

[avelvetember]

chilly on the willy

[abridgeduploader]

Agreed.

I've seen his video singing it, and quite frankly it's awesome. The problem with this one is he had to adjust his voice to the screen, which made it seem a little static.

JoCo is still very much win though.

[Wildcat320]

awesome!

[poitas]

it's bcuz the cake is a lie sheesh isnt that obvious?!

[lurtz94apa]

the cake is NOT a lie.

[Crash22203]

3:27

"While you're dying I'll be Still Alive"

Just before that, someone died.

[pyroguy7438]

seriously? if not, lol

[Crash22203]

What I meant was the guitarist playing lost before 3:27.

Perfect timing, too

[pyroguy7438]

oh. lol
