One Man Band

[TheTrickshooter]

You got an amazing singing voice.

Very good. That's amazing!

[thammerle89]

it disgusts me that real talent like this is out there in the world and yet justin bieber is making millions while this guy is collecting change on the street....

[7LovinDaLife]

he's pretty good

[beanmeister]

Sounds a bit like a Simon and Garfunkel song, I maybe incorrect though.

[daymak]

what song is he playing lol? when he starts going

nanana or w.e that sound familiar

[RAEIVET]

he looks kind of like an old guy hunched and walking slowly :P

[RectulThreat]

Ha!!!

This guy gets around so much.

I saw him earlier this year playing in Dublin. I think he is quite well known in the pubs there

[DslimHarris]

Anyone know a name for this guy. I want to add him to my book on one man bands.

[onemanbanddan]

@DslimHarris My name is Dan

[marhani66]

looolll XD he is goood.....

[goglerin26]

blöden glocken..... silly bells  ;-)

[shahjee1961]

SPAZZNOUT......real nice effort. The guy has excellent synchronization. Can you load the title of the song...Thnx.

[spazznout]

Thnks.....mind you this was taken with an old vcr camcorder, then digitized so the video quality leaves something to be desired.

[crazyscotsman1976]

@shahjee1961 its simon and garfunkel " the boxer"

[shahjee1961]

@crazyscotsman1976 Thnx a lot friend for your guidance, I'm indeed greatful.

[mgbfast3rthanu]

@shahjee1961 song is called "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel, but i prefer this guys upbeat version vs. theirs. Better energy

[chiflamico]

There should be a world One-Band Men association or Website, don't you think?

[jsmallwood2007]

there is, type "one man band" in on youtube lol

[jmmatos23]

One-Man Bands* not One-Band Men :)

[steveredband]

great job !

[tobyvannes]

i really think one man bands like these are awesome! really like seein it, really wna do it....ur awesome btw. my dad use to do the same thing, in his day. still has the drums and cymbals and stuff...keep playin!

[onemanbanddan]

Ok. I reckon this video must be at least 3 years old, and I was clearly having a bad day. Like Josiah said, I'm in Dublin now, somone please film me there and upload it!!!

P.S. Heidelberg is spelt wit an e. (Thanks for the tenner!!)

Dan

[spazznout]

Sorry I saw your other post first then responded before seeing this one....Thanks for spelling correction. Wow what are the odds an American visiting his childhood home overseas could film an Irish fella bring the film back to Columbus Ohio USA and then have it seen by chance by the fella in Ireland...I love technology....making the world a smaller place everyday......You should post some vids of yourself in action.....Do you still perform??????

[spazznout]

your day got even worse as when the video ends here the church bells go off so loud you have to quit...You then proceed to curse out the bells...it was a bit funny..my girlfriend got a laugh anyways....Id post it as I have rest of vid but YOUTube would surly take it down for profanity.......It was actually summer of 2004

[onemanbanddan]

Profanity?? me??? no f%*&£'n way! I remember those bells, though. I'm going to try to get another vid or 2 up. There was a beautiful spanish flamenco dancer here last week who got a great one of me. Watch this space. 14,000 hits is pretty amazing, how did that happen?

[evalacasito]

@onemanbanddan

I think you are gorgeous in the video,I was just crying watching you.

We are missing your music here,u know?

Ven a España y yo te filmaré en youtube. besos,eva

[onemanbanddan]

You tube sucks, the signup is a pain, the comment form doesn't seeem to work, rant rant blah blah....

[jib36]

yeah its my mate i used to see busking in oxford hes great! he made that bass drum you know, he used to tell me find a 'song you sing well' so i could figure out which key was best for my voice!

[shitlor]

W0000000T. thats SOOO awesome .. i wanna be like him..

[rhythmtandemplayer]

[spazznout]

Do you really know this chap????? What a small world if you really do. I would love to see more vids of this guy. He is really good. More so in person than you can see on this vid.

PS i did put 10 euros in his guitar case after filming this.

[onemanbanddan]

Thanks!

[spazznout]

Are you the musician in my video??????? If so you have quite a few hits on your work here over 14,000. If this is you all I can say is what a small world....write me back.

[NewDirection4us]

Get that mana recording contract!

[katepillsbury]

Uh...can you say, "my new hero"?!

[besnik000]

juhu

[AcousticGuitar1973]

Hey that's pretty good...what a great beat he's getting

[Oderwat]

Well... That church bells have to go!!! Can you say: DISTURBING!

[PenisBoat]

he just sounds like a mad hobo

[onemanbanddan]

He is a mad hobo

[PenisBoat]

when i grow up i wanna be just like him!!! he is an inspiration to us all

[cowboydan1991]

Indeed

[harryknarry007]

The song is The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel. I didnt hear Bridge over troubled water in it but maybe.. Nice performance!

[muladar10]

yeah ¡ man¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ music¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Babdeo]

supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­ious indeed

[jimtyrrell]

The song is actually 'The

Boxer'. Pretty clever setup!

[SkinsDeep]

That guy was...

supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­ious!

[Freedomeuh]

Wow what is the name of this song ?

[einsteinian]

Bridge over troubled waters by simon and garfunkel.  This guy rocked the shit out of it no doubt, but the original song is epic and contains some serious harmonies as well as being much more toned down. I cant get over how well this guy does with his foot bass and hand string hi-hats. lol good shit to say the least. I always wonder what these talented one man band musicians could do if they actually had backing players helping them out... Its very hard to do 3-4 things at once. I know.

[dirtbikes36]

he would sound better if he did some weed he sounds like a dieing cat

[gagadaredevil]

you must mean smoked some weed?

[onemanbanddan]

Yeah, but the alcohol is legal.

[max2right]

makeing music is a gas. keep it going

[BleedMyMind]

It must suck to have to do that all day...being poor must suck. unless he has money but like to perform for no reason

[einsteinian]

Being poor does suck, but I must say I would rather live in reality and feel the real pulse of the people than to be a rich man and be so out of touch with reality its frightening. You see character comes from diversity and hard times, without that you simply cannot understand true pain and overcome it. There really is nothing like being huddled together as a family trying to keep warm without power and wondering how you will feed your child the next day. The rich are weak. Its a fact.

[onemanbanddan]

do a search for 'world turned upside down' billy bragg. It's my favourite busking song at the moment.

[newcastleutdrthebest]

Nice one! Good job!

[curlyjohn7]

awesome!!!

[rolficus]

dunkopf dus ist not eina booby

[spazznout]

Huh??? was ist booby auf english? Ich bin nicht ein dunkopf. Was ist los mit sich?

[exberte]

Was rolficus geschrieben hat ist kein Deutsch, also kann ich dir leider nicht sagen was er gemeint hat.

PS. You did a great job, keep it up!

[rolficus]

berwik busker is good too maybe better if i lose my job this is my new career

[onemanbanddan]

the berwick busker video, I reckon, is Greedy-boy-Allen. He used to hang out in switzerland 15 years ago. Havent seen him in years, but he's a geordie boy, so I guess he went home.

[tangash]

the bells man , the bells

[jastermoreel]

A really amazing video. This is by far one of the best one-man bands in the Seattle area -- a must-see!

[spazznout]

Actually this was filmed in downtown Heidelberg, Germany. The city has a large university and a very multicultural population catering to the tourist who flock here from around the world to see the castle and many festivals. There is also a US army base on the edge of town.

[iloveguitar37]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing ;-)

[jigsawkiller1]

Wow thats really good!!!!

[44hanna44]

this has inspired me to be a one man band
