"stay crunchy" - messin with an e-piano sound

[username986563]

that song i like the most of yours .. thats realy nice .. i would like to play drums over it .. you have a clean version from it also?

[mastervzla69]

is not about views or thumbs..., dude im in 2012 still watching this, and it feels the same way i felt this song for the very first time in 2008 ... so amazing.

[Latetotheshow]

this guy is a true inspiration in a world of fake music.

[12seth12]

He is a genius

[laurenzojeffrey]

hello you tubes! radtastic!

[fatfatcrap1]

Yo, here we go,,,thanx ronald for mixing this beat...

Yo I got a thing for this rap shit, loose ya head when ya talkin the crap shit,

Money mike is a big dog like a mastiff and ronald plays beats like magic.......

yo... let the beat go, real real fast then way way slow,

toe to toe out and out and about, on the floor or sittin on the couch,

listen to this shit your gonna have to bounce, either that or smoke an ounce,

line of molly back and forth as you volley these beats move ya like a dolly.

[jaheesh]

Even though Ronald has full length videos of his song, I still watch these just to watch him on the keyboard! :)

[zachpach101]

and people thought he was dead i noted he has more vids then last time

[mfrizzle90]

@zachpach101 Unless the last time you visited his videos was over 3 years ago, he has not made any new videos since :L

[JinandJuice90]

I've had this song as my ringtone for months, and I just realized something: the mp3 version of the song does not have the (bell?) percussion accompaniment that's very present in this video (the "tink tink" sound that you hear here). Anyone recognize it too? Why did he take it out in the mp3?

[MrBphillie]

I remember when he only had 340 hits. finally people are using the internet for what it was meant for.

[WhopperDeluxe84]

Reb0:00t

[TheBeatofTheBall]

man, when he starts playing, you can truly see a genius at work

[SharDuMonde]

1:46 ... WHAT?!? That was awesome!

[TheBrewer5]

If he played this t the end of the world it would probabley save it

[jeefrousseau]

This is fucking good!! great work!

[ArcaneBunny]

You should definitely do a duet with Lindsey Stirling! :D

[xdbt]

Holy shyt, I've had this song as my ringtone for months and never knew where it came from... Until now :}

[skylergrm27]

The note he plays a 2:21 is so raunchy!!!

[ninjastalker92]

@skylergrm27 No kidding. I love how he throws that little dissented lick in there.

[2flyforalldimhaters]

@gholaamam he totally enjoys doing this and i love the "Hello YouTube!" Ronald Jenkees you are truly and most definitely my inspiration! <3 ya and keep making videos!

[gholaamam]

you know he truly enjoys doing this when he has a huge smile on his face the whole time he's playing

[evanregisterphoto]

Wow! I just discovered you yesterday. Wish I had much, much sooner. Love your work! Inspiring.

[ninjazombie221]

my mom is getting me a Casio CTK 496 keybored later today and i intend to learn to play and try making videos simliler to what you do ronald! thanks for the insperation!! :D

[thoronton1]

how do you do these beats or with wich program?

[pfeitosa]

Saw this first at the Nikon D4 "WHY" release. This song is REALLY awesome, incredible that it's just a dude playing in his bedroom...

[insidestar2]

/watch?v=t34XDeavd3E&feature=y­outu.be  --------> young talent look and like please ;)

[DavidX234]

what happened to him now? where is he?

[sicilian2010]

Love your music Ronald, you're an inspiration to us all. Keep rockin out and stay brilliant.

[StoriesAndPringles]

If I had to have a favorite part of this song, it would have to be 2:55

[savebylundqvist3530]

He is like RainMan

[Lakopa8]

Dude, I love you so much. Your music is freaking beautiful.

[ciro820]

wooooow u are a big

[MeKflow]

I love when he said "that was lots of fun" after playing. Does he realise how euphemistic it is ?!! One of the most amazing shit I've ever heard from a piano !! Trembling ! Keep playing !

[MrUnpossible]

Please do not stop making music like this.

[grooveboss]

join a band and perform this live. Performance is the real work. this day and age trying to make money off recordings that are "dead" in a way is no longer the way. Got to work hard for that money or else it goes away very very quick. If you want to sell cds they need to come with something else for the costumer, like creative videos for every track a t shirt or an lyrics book full of art. just saying

[fireman8900]

443 people have trouble clicking accurately with their mouse!

[grooveboss]

@fireman8900 443 are not crunchy

[LordOfSandbox]

Wow! Awesome!

[Shaha0380]

i absolutely love your music! For some reason you remind me of the engineer from TF2?

[MarkMatzeldelaflor]

Awesomeness!



[KurtSandford]

make dubstep

[AlexTheRed]

You're awesome, man. Not only is your music great, but your positive attitude and friendly demeanor is infectious. Just hearing you talk put me in a good mood, and your message about simply enjoying music, having fun when you're creating, is inspirational; it applies to any passion, and it's something I need to remind myself of when I'm making art. I'll be listening to your music and your words when I need an extra boost in motivation. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us!

[Talus83]

Dude rocks a keyboard like no other. Keep it up Ronald!

[templarthade]

You are genuinely talented, man. This was a pleasure to watch.

[MyRocksanne]

Dear, you give me the ENVY to play piano .. Would like to have partitions or something like GP5 tabs to learn .. Waw.. Amazing, it sends me in "Outer space" :D

Really, really.. I just can't stop beeing in space when i listen to yours songs :)

[freefromantics]

first heard you on Pandora I have loved your music

[Delinz]

I heard this on a video for the upcoming NIKON D4 and i was like... This gotta be ronald jenkees, it's his unique & awesome style and of course it was!

[000theSPENCER000]

Chicks LOVE this guy.

[000theSPENCER000]

I like this one better than the album version.

[xXSilentReaverXx]

You are what has inspired me to become a music producer. Thank you so much! :')

[Scorge120]

So good

[Vdeogamer]

This song never gets old! I love your music! It'd be awesome if you could make some new tunes soon though! I want more! :D

[CrunchablesOG]

Aww yeah I STAY CRUNCHY ALL DAY! :)

[beataroundthekush]

oh, but i thought electronic music had no soul? stay up jenkees

[eric570]

I just heard this song on pandora.

[TehGlitchGuide]

@eric570 what is pandora! avatar land?

[bamboolaball]

@TehGlitchGuide pandora.com, it's like a build-your-own radio station site.

[IndicateQ]

@eric570

Pandora has changed my life in 1 week, amazing.

Keep going, don't stop.

[savorydeviatedelight]

I've been listening to this guy's music for years now... and I'll never forget this as being the first time I was ever introduced to it. The "Hello youtubes!" and then just launching right into it... not something you forget easily :D

[jojohernandezGames]

@savorydeviatedelight

same here,this was the first video i saw of him,and i got hooked on his music!

[robhardin234]

Your music tonight brought me inspiration beyond all. I was totally creatively blocked in my writing and magically its gone. Best part about it all is to find out your from Kentucky made my day. I will be hopefully transferring to University of Kentucky in the fall. Currently enrolled at BCTC. People may say become famous, I would say life means more than that. What your doing is what life is about happiness and do something you love. You my friend have transcended the mystery that is life.

[avadyn]

you won't find people like Ronald Jenkees anymore if SOPA or PIPA passes :c

[avadyn]

@TakoMan02 uh...if youtube is shut down you won't be able to watch his or anyone else's videos?

[TakoMan02]

@avadyn Youtube is not the only way people listen to music, come on now.

[avadyn]

@TakoMan02 Yes, but a lot people discover new music on youtube.

[soul767]

i cant stop watching this video.... im just sucked into his playing.

[nathanfroom]

dude you are amazing

[sinzway]

You have SKILLZZZZZZ Ron

[FlaminSmurf]

I think that Ronald just stopped at 69 videos on purpose -.-

[TheFlibustier]

pls put some more music on the TUBE.....

[Chaelaz]

Still bitchin' Bob after all these years.

[The3dperez]

AMAZINGLY TALENTED.....

[Anthony5002]

So glad Pandora introduced me to this incredible musician. Instantly hooked.

[godfather080]

Although it's out that Ronald Jenkees is a fake, and hes actually Benjamin Feltes, who cares honestly? He makes amazing music. He just created this persona to make it easier for people to fall in love with him. Keep making music, I'll always be listening.

[TFCoaties]

@godfather080

What do you mean he's fake? Thats like saying Eminem is fake because he doesnt use his real name...

[mattseik]

What's out that window, must be a source of great inspiration. Keep up da jams Ronald! You are revolutionary.

[timeclockfraud]

It is true you can have a lot of fun just jamming out, but Ronald is very talented. I am happy that I discovered this artist. Keep up the good work.

[sUnnydUcks123]

Even though I don't know you I'm proud of you.. Your work is amazing.

[TheStranger5250]

G r e a t!

[syh243]

Speechless

[ZomgToastWtf]

you sir are a god

[chunkymonky911]

there is only one word to explain your talent and that word my friend is breathtaking

[vincehexum]

There's a Camera Demo video for the NikonD4 on engadget that uses this song

[PainInMyBones]

Were Are You Ronald? We need more dope music!

[chidding]

Still cranking in 2012!

[MrLando76]

Guy like this just doesn't wake up one morning and decide to give this a shot! Firms my belief that every human has something inside them that makes them extraordinary.  Find it!

[ThisWayGaming]

The dislike bar is un-see-able

The way it should be

[MaximilienLatraverse]

Every second of that video is f**king epic.

[Tugbaaltun]

Hello youtubes :D

[xmorgan1987]

What am I only finding out about this guy now? "Uploaded by ronaldjenkees on 24 Apr 2008" I could of been listening to this for the last 4 years!

[tehubernessofuber]

...His roommate has probably been turned homosexual by now.

[diggdawg89]

Ronald Jenkees is no mortal man. Ronald Jenkees is the Robot Devil. Look at his hands. Look at the complexity and speed. They hit the keys with godspeed.

[kingjacob300]

442... DONT MAKE ME COME OVER THERE AND FUCK YOU!

[agyarmathy]

thumbs up if you came here from the Nikon D4 commercial :)

[REEPER38]

Nice to see someone doing his own thing and enjoying it at the same time. Though allot of ppl would say it's just impro thats the whole point. If a man can come out with this level of music off the top of his head,imagine what he could do with time and the backing. There again tbf i think that would take the spell away from what is amazing music.

[lilscheff16]

443 people didn't stay crunchy.

[3LooY10001]

4 years and i still listening to this

[SorelyFrigid]

@3LooY10001 you were listening to this for 4 years and still listen?!?? WOW i only 5 days from morning to midnight

[thejacobabbe]

If this music was a girl i would have found my soul-mate and a dang good sex partner lol

[Bryika]

Mr. Jenkees, you are truly stunning and your talent is remarkable. Every single music track you play is amazing, you are a marvelous musician, like W. A. Mozart of the XXI century. First time i saw this video i shed a tear, there are no words to describe the feeling it gives me. Thank you so much for making music.

[Lewy1811]

@Bryika This guy makes interesting music and it`s good that you appreciate this but I think that calling him a "Mozart of the XXI century" is a big exaggeration. Have you ever heard f.e. Herbie Hancock or Keith Jarret (if we`re talking about keyboard players)? That`s great that you like his music but go on and search for more and you`ll be suprised how much there is still to be discovered in the ocean of music. Peace :)

[queenjac]

Ronald, I salute you- you're amazing! Plz visit my YouTube channel & watch my latest video 'Once Upon a December' :-)

[QQmanCA]

Correction Tozi! 2 people just joined the boring club

[GFeatNaderra1]

Excellent ! Putain que tu est solide !

[bitmp44]

damn. Ronald can jam out. I wish he would have concerts that you could just go to and chill out. He just improvs the entire time. That would be so bad a.

[FISHTHEFOX1]

This is absolutely fantastic. Powerful, emotional, creative, inspiring. It's like watching someone rock on an electric guitar.

[tedaru]

Its like I'm going back to 80's.

[mkz24]

am listening to an Art

[itakeyourphoto]

Ronald I dont usually care much about any one singer or band and have never paid to see a concert but I would pay to see you. You are to most inspirational performer I've ever seen and yet there you are looking like its no big deal.

Hats of to you man. You are what the music industry SHOULD be.

[Neiliooooo]

His music is iconic. Any of his music is recognized by many.

[mlsk8r]

Damn this guy is good!

[FlipNot2fly]

I saw your videos a while back, they were epic then.. Was listening to pandora (dubstep) then you come and i never knew this was your song but this is epic. Most likely will be buying your album(S) soon.

[Philmor420Bowls]

Complete Genius!

[Philmor420Bowls]

Ive been listening to Ron since 2008 and its still new to me after all these years.I cant get enough.Keep on keepin on.

[ladiesman5471]

You are amazing! love the whole album! If you get high and listen to this shit OH MY GOD good times.

[Pollutens]

[LuckyBorg]

Guthrie Govan on a piano man, awesome stuff!! (Y)

[kcfd3s]

[aguydudeperson]

[itralian16]

Half a Million veiws are mine! lolol And i have both his cd's! Wheres Ronald?!?!?!?

[soul767]

This song turns gears in my head. I listen to his music when i write, draw and programing. ronald is musical genius. ----Guitar sound----Stay crunchy---- best ever!

[sandpaper3]

[Montevillano]

[school830]

[XDXMIK]

"staaaaay crunchy men, staaaay crunchyyy" homer simpson

[chongokin]

better than the studio version IMO

[PhotoShopChannel]

@chongokin I thin the same

[darthwicket]

They used Stay Crunch in the video WHY - Nikon D4 Release Video. Pretty awesome if you ask me. it's not a long segment, but it's great to see such a talented guy get exposure.

[xtaze1]

Fucking win

[Imaketrancesongs]

My god, hit a wrong note once in a while. :D

[Phonesified]

Holy shit, I found this randomly while searching steel lap guitars and I just noticed that they use this song for a steam game called Sequence. You're amazing, Ronald. I hope that you're getting paid for that. Keep it up!

[snicksnee]

Congrats on the getting the "WHY" Nikon D4 promo vid, I hope you got PAID for that!

[HeSheYouMeTheyWeUsOk]

fanfuckingtastic!!

[lemster101]

You're in this promovideo for the Nikon D4. I'm sure you're aware of that, but I found this song through there. And then I searched for you and it turned out I already know you. Awsome music! Keep it up :)

[KalEl600rr]

Someone put this retard back in his cage.

[kttnmouthkings69]

You & your music are Beautiful!

[warptmanbmx]

Inspiration (:

[skyrimzim]

from 2:25 to 2:32 sounds like god

[bgmc80]

[19biggiesmalls94]

[BlueCrosser]

Pressed play and I was like, whoa...

[cityofplant]

Seriously on every comments i've read in this guy video is very couraging stuff. And the viewers keep coming every single day. It's 2012 and this video is made in 2008 i mean wtf. IS THIS A FAKE VIDEO?! This guy is genius and i'm having an eargasm to all of his songs.

[TheGoguler]

Stay Crunchy is my password for everything!... Oh shit wait...

[rmizeelectric]

f'in gangsta

[tigerarmy1200]

I love this video! He plays with such pure enthusiasm and enjoyment, it is truly inspiring. Thanks Ronald!

[rarbiart]

Congrat! You made it to the Nikon D4 release video! vimeo.com 34666308

[PhotoShopChannel]

@rarbiart retard

[mobrills]

THIS right here. Is Mind Blowing

[TheCitnarfoztiks]

If Chrono Trigger would have had this song as its soundtrack... I'd cry every time I played it.

[ScottGarrettDrums]

Bad ass. Just got linked to your music tonight.

[Aether18]

how does he do it

[jordy100000]

U ARE FUCKING AMAZING :)

[MythBusterBob]

He hasn't released anything new on youtube in three years.

But I'm subscribing anyway.

[Anathemael]

I have seen this a ridiculous number of times. It still brings tears to my eyes with the sheer epicness.

Fuck yes.

[Tozi]

440 people have no taste in music....

[TxMaverickxT]

@Tozi add two more to the list of brain dead people

[YousefsPie]

Legend

[lukapaka]

What is there to dislike?? Not only is Ronald a brilliant musician, this is possibly his best jam out there. Simply, the best of the best. 

[anthony12156]

Sequence :3

[naeonixion]

This is amazing.

[thecandyrapper]

So there i was at 230 am listening to ronald jenkees music, and i was inspired to tell him how great his music was. Shot him an email at 252 am cause im just crazy like that. At 254am this guy sends me a personal email back. This guy is as legit a person as he is a producer, musical genious and prodigy. Hats off to Mr. Jenkees for always keepin it real.

[jumper1294]

@thecandyrapper Are you serious?! i was worried something happened to him,.

[JD3Psilocybin]

I very much dislike the fact that the dislikes are mentioned in this video, 95.54% of us can agree that this man is the musical genius of our generation, PERIOD. Let us be proud to be alive in the same period of a musical genius such as Ronald as opposed to hating,

[JD3Psilocybin]

Ronald Jenkees might as well change his name to "An Inspiration".

He has gone this far without doing ANY live performances but I still look to him for my inevitable career in Music, art or ANYTHING that has to do with having fun with my choice of profession.

Ronald we love you.

[DirtyDuckMusic]

@thecandyrapper i tried sending him a few emails. didnt respond yet :/

:(

I'm sure hes awesome though. probably busy

[themonduce]

this song has blow my brains out!! but my favorite part is the message at the end.... "you can have a whole lot of fun jamming out to mary had a little lamb" so true!

im typing a paper, thought I would pause to let you guys know that I am typing to the rythme of this song imag
