[dknight416]

3:16 gay moment

[dknight416]

and the toaster on the fence? OH! thats koz i am a toaster. done.

[Sh1pWrecker]

I have a bunch of vinyl albums from the upsetters and Scratch Perry. Love the music. But he's kinda burnt.

[floftyAl]

im a toaster not a boast, but a positive soldier, i never tell a lie

[DEENVEE1420]

He's an eccentric genius believe it or not a colourful character but he knows how to do his job as a producer and an excellent job he does despite his seemingly unorthodox and crazy style of conducting all his interviews haha...

[snufkindan]

Anyone know the song that begins at 3:01?

[TheSteward25]

what a personality! love this video, remember seeing it on The Tube years ago!

[Gammanoize]

Never speak Goliath... Jah.

[i3ant0n]

‎'he's my pal, we shake hands together'

Mr Perry talking about his common friend, the fire.

~to be poor is a crime~

[aledotm]

[Vision10ne]

[xwsftassell]

What did he say, great brimstone and Fred Flintstone?

[Merkaba4203]

I am not a boasta- but a positive toasta.



[martinmedeski]

@Merkaba4203 thats good that!

[Terrra91]

Jools looks very corny here

[philhutchens]

"im not a boaster.

im a posative toaster"

[LordAvgasror]

Mr. Perry is like the Einstein of Jamaican music.. He seems to have a higher sense of things. :P

[Eisonhawk]

L.S.P = D-U-B

pum pum the toaster

[TheJungleCook]

lmao... didn't anyone else get it when he says the toaster on his wall means that he's a toaster? lmao

[Merkaba4203]

@TheJungleCook shit had me laughing so hard. I feel the same way about myself.

[Terrra91]

Perry and Augustus Pablo are my favourites. Gotta love Tosh too he's the militant dread.

[jackawoof]

What tune is that at 3.15 please?

[7StepDropSka]

@jackawoof It might be "feel like rocking"

[cumbialeal]

I'm a toasta not a boasta/ ja genius on the fly.

[bennyboy360]

"hes i another sort of dimention" she hit the nail on the head

[TheloniousSphere]

anyone who think this man is crazy should listen from 5:13.

Genius & Insane are almost the same thing.

Name me just ONE genius isent a flake or some sort of freak.

[cutdafukup]

i like how he's his of his mind...only a sliver between genius & insane

[L3G07]

I think the track is Mr Music opening track on the album History Mystery Prophecy, nice to hear the song again, thanks for uploading.

[juanderama]

What's the name of the cover of "jamming" that Lee is fixeing at the end of the video?

[woodrat123]

'you shall know them by their works' long live lee perry!

[BIGBOUTYAH]

Everything starts from Scratch :)

Groundbreakin' Pioneer,

There is ONLY ONE!!!

SCRATCH.... YA MAASSSIIVVVEE!!

[alpino22]

Wasn't Jools banging Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday back then?

[TobiasNeverNude]

who's the engineer in the video?

[sanacore]

que grande perry pero no se puede negar de que esta loco

[wearethefuture3030]

jools thinks for a second, 'did u put any ganja in that'

cracks me up everytime, one love, rastafari

[jaspervincent]

wicked. one love

[mdementa]

soy blanco y estoy de acuerdo cn lee ^^

[FATGIRLSRHOT]

I wanna hang out with that guy!

[pandanus1]

Scratch is a genius

[hanjobb]

believe it

[manaseh]

Is the woman at 1:02 Tommy Cowann late wife? was murdered in a robbery attempt as far as know.true that?

[jirildo]

The result of smoking that shit for too long. And you clowns want to legalize it!!!!!!!!

[doodguy78]

also he drank gasoline mixed with black current juice

[whitepeepleareDevils]

eat shit u fuckin devil

[IsaacIsaiahMusic]

mmmmm... 'whitepeepleareDevils'. You think black African leaders are renowned for their mercy and empathy? And there are no black murderers or rapists then? All so-called 'races' are just as bad as each other (i.e. cannibalism, etc). And there is no such thing as 'race' really anyway; just 'gene-pools' and extended families. All humans can breed with each other naturally, and my blood might be more compatible with yours than one of your black friends if you needed a blood transfusion...

[IsaacIsaiahMusic]

...Do you need these delusions and conspiracies to make you life interesting and give it meaning? Look, white people have white skin to get the vitamin D from the Sun in a cold climate such as Europe. Pigment protects against the hot Sun. White people go brown in the hot Sun to protect against cancer. Black people often suffer from vitamin D deficiency (rickets) in Europe because Sun can't get through. Everybody will be mixed eventually, so get over it and just be yourself, not a 'race'.

[hanjobb]

stop talkin bout race you wally

[hanjobb]

so you think every1 in ireland is a devil do you? fukin piece of shit

[IsaacIsaiahMusic]

stop talkin bout race you wally!

[hanjobb]

ccccccccc ya

[hanjobb]

wat clowns

[Hashbeard]

Why has he got gaffer tape wrapped round his arm?!

[backawallmovement]

foundation!

[mspubquiz83]

Jools Holland doesn't know how 2 handle him

funny, great interview, last bit especially !!

[gaspanda]

this is surely one of the kmost mind boggling interviews ever - why does he have a toaster on his wall!

[veskesk]

He explains very clearly that he is a toaster. Duh.

[gaspanda]

It's slang for spinning disks/making music or something like that, but even still...

[veskesk]

I know where the word comes from, son.

[gaspanda]

he also says he doesn't like vampires. I am with him on that one...

[veskesk]

On the real. I wonder if his attitude toward cyborgs and zombies is similar.

[markvanslam]

well he claims to be a machine himself at the begining, calling himself the atomic man

[RobSydneyUK]

i'd like the woman at 1 min to make me a cup of tea. she seems nice...

[IsaacIsaiahMusic]

"The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad!" - Salvador Dali.

Some people think Perry's mad, but like Dali he's a piss-taker who expresses himself freely and understands how reality is chaos that can be filtered by open thinking. These Bogily-wogily mind tricks R2 open Holland's little boogie-woogie mind.

Same with Vincent van Gogh -his strange 'twisting' or warped paintings were entirely deliberate, just look at the preliminary sketches of even his strangest paintings.

[RobSydneyUK]

well said!

[BandLdubclub]

Truthful People - that's what Mister Perry likes...

MASSIVE RESPECT !!!

[chelsea1690loyalist]

i love scratch perry, really love his music. but he is just such a fruit cake. ha ha

[woodstockchild11]

what the fuck is he saying? haha

[peakhouse]

i saw this back in 85 .and had a flavour of the tune in my head for 23 years...the 'lion strikes again' THIS is a heavy moment for me .

[bigyouth91]

im am not a boaster with a positive toaster

[dinogaskill]

touched, wish the world could be more like this today...

[3meangreen]

Amen to that Mr. Perry Yes I

[rocfox]

The world needs more positive toasters! Ire.

[KingRizlaa]

"What sort of people do you like?"

"Truthfull people, weather they fuckin black, yellow or white."

Saw him play in Norwich last weekend, still sounding great. He seems to like coming to Norwich (well, he is clearly insane). Shook his hand & got his scribble. Top man.

[JahSolomon]

[ComradeTuffGong]

Help Keep Lee Perry Underground!

[bobo1892]

Stop blaming weed for his behavior. It is just his true self.

[BluntDNB]

lee scratch perry = pure genius

[usasportswarrior]

this is an anti-drug video if I ever saw it. Shows what drug use does to the mind!

[SvenNetpimp]

it has nothing to do with drugs, he's just a bit eccentric, naturally

[eyeseekiel]

If you mean how it seems to be opening his mind to creativity and the holy spirit and allowing him to see through hypocritical bullshite, then yeah...

Oh wait...why would I be "anti-" that?

[MightyMiguel]

you are a berk and you have no idea what you're talking about.

[russki202]

oh man, i love this guy, pothead, he smoked himself retarded, but hey thats what a music genuis is

[nubient]
