z he lives n will always p.s. bartle doo

[Oerjeke]

Fuckin' audio... I'm gonna buy the rights to "Amazing grace" and everytime someone plays it at a funeral, I'll come in, blasting everything with a tommy-gun and say : "YEEE HAV NOE RIGHTS FOR THES SUNG!!!1"

[ZombieX13]

Wow! Young Thompson looks like Josh Hartnett from Blackhawk Down.

[karlkarlkarl1234]

Every Hunter Thompson clip has the most stupid and cringe-worthy comments. They're moslty: "OMFGZZZ he took drugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz".

Fuck I hate people.

[Oerjeke]

@karlkarlkarl1234

HST wasn't addicted to drugs. He was addicted to freedom.

Ok, that was offtopic, but I agree with you.

[Oerjeke]

It's sort of sad... Even though Thompson was a great writer (alot better than Tolkien in my opinion) he never got the recognition he deserved, probably due to his radical persona and such. But hopefully he'll have the recognition he deserved... some day =)

[marcusmanslaughter]

personally i think he got respect and recognition from the people he wanted respect and recognition from and those are the people who love him for his work AND his persona and i too hold your dream he was quite a man goodnight dr.gonzo

[Oerjeke]

RIP, Dr. Gonzo.

"One of god's own prototypes who was never meant for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die."

Fits his persona pretty well =')

[BTGMM]

That's odd -- I have sound again. I can hear the song!! Can anyone else? BTW, I'd bet all my money that if Bob Dylan saw this video he'd have no problem with the music being used, especially in the way it's being used. But the record company? Of course they have an issue. Fucking jackals.

[Baxxter101]

@BTGMM I cant hear shit dawg.

[Truthiracy2]

@BTGMM GO WATCH BOB dylan say he sold his soul to the devil on YOUTUBE!

[constipatedkangaroo]

i think hunter would like it but thats an absolute farse seeing as how i never met him, good job

[SundayMorninEveryDay]

awesome tribute

[sarcophyllus]

What kind of a world are we living in where sound has become a criminal offence...

[Goetia78]

it's like Matthew Lillard said in the movie "Hackers," "1984 was a typo, Orwell is here and now, he's livin' large..."

[visicapiscus]

hes smoking speed on the couch and the person who asked what film it is should be slapped

[JVYT1]

Please, please allow embedding.

[evildeadmitch]

Fuck.... I just cried a little.....well.... Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride....

[ImADeadSkater]

crystal meth

[hippwn123]

Whats he smoking on the couch

[shnthm1985]

Its opium or heroin I think

[LordAidenWolf]

I believe he's either free-basing Opium or Hash

[HexicNexus]

R.I.P. good sir. I never knew you but i'll always miss you

[Katanajoe7]

ITs come to my attention that the first scene is incorrect. Although set in 1965, the song played was released in 67.

Still a great film tho dont get me wrong, one my favourites.

[HexicNexus]

Doesn't mean they didn't write the song before 1967...they just used the actual song cause...you know... that wasn't really Jefferson Airplane

[APivetti]

what film was it?

[Research0digo]

Thank you btgmm

RIP to a true American legacy.

US PO needs to put his likeness on a stamp.

[LordAidenWolf]

I'm sure they would if he hadn't been assassinated by government swine for speaking out

[skinnywhop87]

He actually was killed by the Government, this is something everyone should look into, Hunter S Thompson was writting a book about Petafelia in Washington, as well as his own theory on the events of 9/11, The night "he killed himself" he was on the phone with one of his close friends making plans for future projects, sound like a man planning to kill himself?

[cjrsoccer1]

If you're going to throw out wild conspiracy theories, you should at least spell "pedophilia" correctly.

[skinnywhop87]

it's not a conspiracy look it up yourself, if a spelling error is enough to discredit what i said that shows how dumb you are, if you're willing to overlook something like that over something so childish.... It's known fact that Thompson was working on 2 books when he died, on was about the acult in Washington, and the other was about 9/11 being an inside job, you can look this up yourself in "Buy the ticket, take the ride" They mention this... If you understand the word, no need to correct it

[cjrsoccer1]

Yeah I guess his family walking in on him just after he shot himself is all part of the conspiracy. They're in on it too. Also, we faked the moon landings, and the CIA killed JFK.

Hunter had talked about killing himself for years, usually to the effect of "I'd feel trapped if I didn't know I could kill myself whenever I wanted" or something to that effect. If it makes you feel better to think it's all part of some spooky 9/11-related conspiracy, that's your prerogative.

[DaveS12382]

Fucko, if you think there's nothing suspect about the JFK assasination or 911 then you are truly in the dark and it is pointless arguing with you.

[cjrsoccer1]

Oh, and you do realize that "pedophilia" and "the acult" (by which I assume you mean "occult") are two different things, right?

[ex1le444]

Hold on I'm just repositioning my Tin Foil Hat!

That's better, don't want the CIA reading my mind! Now, what were you saying?

[Freshtalk505]

haha gotta love his sarcasm at 1:29 through 1:49

[beremi6]

Is the Song from Bob Dylan? And who know the title?

[BTGMM]

It's Mr. Tambourine Man, by Bob Dylan.

[wugza]

Rest In Peace, Hunter S. Thompson.

They don't make them like the good Doctor anymore.

[BanananaGanja]

RIP Hunter.

good man. good man.

[moontown666]

R.I.P ..... R.I.P

[moontown666]

I live in woody creek gonzo for life props on tamborine man it's hunter favorite bob dylans song i did security at jazz aspen for bob dylan

[dlonegunman]

" Better take care of me lord, or you'll have me to deal with " R.I.P.Hunter.

[georgesimmons61]

i might get a few thumbs down for my ignorance, in fear and loathing, and also in this tribute, in the 'matrix' club, is that actually Hunter S. sitting at that table?

[mattsky76]

Yes, that is Hunter.

[dagenhamdave77]

Are we human, or are we dancer?

R.I.P Hunter

[gratefulpanic5th]

thanks for that. it was a great tribute to the man whose legend will never die! he was truly an amazing person

[SnIkLeeT]

Just a flat out high speed burn through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo.

Then onto the Hollywood Freeway, straight into frantic Oblivion.

Safety.

Obscurity.

Just another freak... in the Freak kingdom...

R.I.P Hunter S.

[vardakev420]

aww i miss the good doctor but it wasnt fun anymore for anyone but he will forever live on thanx doc

[TTEOTD88]

people realize what hunter said from 1:29 to 1:49...very true..OPEN YOUR EYES DOOMED SOCIETY!

[4chanb]

Perfect song, Hunter loved it.

Thanks for the video, it's awesome.

[azbquinton]

First of all what an incredible video, what a tribute! The world lost such an incredible talent when it lost Hunter Thompson but what an amazing mark he left upon this world. The world just doesn't spin like it did when he was here and I personally really miss looking forward to the next work that Thompson would produce. There will never be another and may God bless him, his family and friends. Thank you for the many years spent laughing and learning and changing my life for the better!

[sickboywillyd]

Hunter lived as we should...become unhinged and succept yourself to the great wilds of life..."buy the ticket..take the ride" A true artist in every sense of the word...Without a doubt a must read author..reading him is like opening doors we used to dare not pass..Well miss him like we miss peacefull days...r.i.p doc.. truly a hero is missed..You gave hope to those with nothing..This is a great homage to hunter...Great tibute to a great beast of a man....

[bowiemondstaub]

You said "You gave hope to those with nothing"... it's so damn true. His books changed my life. His sense of humor and sarcasm, his point of view and the way he saw and explained things... I never understood the world and life fully until I read his books but I knew that I was missing something. And I was one of "those with nothing" but now I'm a reporter because of him and I encourage people to read his books too.

Thanks Hunter, RIP :)

[stephenspekke]

rip best dr. :)

[HelterSkelter085]

best tribute i've seen for hunter, r.i.p.

[zimmydoomday73]

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

[truckstoptone]

I just start to read his books, and I can't beleive just how free Dr. Thompson lived his life.Throw worrie to the wind, because we don't want to become the poor bastards Dr. Thompson wrote about. Long live gonzo!

[girlgeorgeberk]

WOW

[nri1969]

Thank you for this.

It's been three years since he died. This tribute to his life —finally— made me cry over losing him. The only other public figure whose passing I've felt merited my tears was Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Their country needs them both, now more than ever.

[BTGMM]

NBC Universal submitted a copyright infringement claim for this. Apparently making a tribute video that is not for profit simply isn't ok with a multi-million dollar corporation. Unreal.

[MakaveliTheDon96]

a claim for this? i watch full length movies on youtube, how can they be after this and not the people who upload movies

[skhammash]

Beautiful video. Thanks.

[dmcbrines]

4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon in some office. God damn that's beautiful, man.

selah

[stoofighter]

when he sees himself, thats actually hunter thompson, but im sure u all know that, wot a legend!

[BTGMM]

That is the reason I start the music when Depp says, "Mother of God, there I am."

[Hunter0S0Gonzo]

fan fucking tastic

[cddypimpn410]

im doing a 7-10 minute speech on thompson and im going to have this playing in the backround

[BTGMM]

Awesome. Good luck.

[SmashBox73]

Excellent video, thank you... I've never seen half of those photos of younger Hunter. Awesome.

[quinney3441]

i love it got me alittle choked up

[AndyA007]

Yeah me too. I've only recently discovered the wonderfully twisted world of Hunter S. and I'm already a huge fan! LONG LIVE GONZO!

[opiate115]

That was really moving. Good job. Great man.

[scottj1988]

Thompson was a genius.

[maybemanic]

Well done...

[roverspaul]

very moving
