The Original SOY BOMB! - Bob Dylan, Michael Portnoy, 1998, Grammy, Love Sick

[MageReactor]

I could dance like that...if I wanted to.

[carnifex2005]

Also that entire 1998 Grammys was awesome. Everyone was drunk I think. Along with Soy Bomb...

Ol' Dirty Bastard interrupts Shawn Colvin's Song of the Year acceptance speech to protest the Clan's loss in the Best Rap Album category.

Paula Cole gives the finger during her performance of "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?"

Immediately after performing "How Do I Live", LeAnn Rimes loses Best Female Country Vocal Performance to Trisha Yearwood's cover version of exactly the same song.

@carnifex2005

Aretha Franklin performs the aria "Nessun Dorma" after standing in for Luciano Pavarotti at the last minute.

When presenting the nominees for Album of the Year Usher referred to Bob Dylan as Bill Dylan by accident.

[ugha323a]

@carnifex2005

The Soy Bomb was great compared to that whining of Dylan

[ugha323a]

@carnifex2005

I thought the Soy Bomb was hysterical.

He stole the whole show-the show was LOUSY

[TheMajinBuu]

TV classic...his explanation of "Soy Bomb" was even better

[carnifex2005]

Dylan probably thought that Soy Bomb was an acid flashback and just went with it.

[spankey027]

so who else is here as a refresher because yahoo posted it?

[xanthoxylaceae]

Oh come on....just should've left him there. LOL

[rhianrhina]

LOL interpretive dance?

[ppicotin]

The true professionals were bob Dylan and musicians who kept total control and acted so professional. Bob and his musicians kept it going like the pro's they are. Patrick Picotin

[leoparaguay33]

So, all you have to do is dance like that to get such a pysique.

[anonywho]

Almost 15 years later and this still cracks me up

[spankey027]

@anonywho lol..i agree totally. i had forgotted all about it until i saw it posted on yahoo news. came to look again and lol'd all over again..

[skylinefolife]

Does anyone know the name of the song that's playing? :0

[BatALash]

This takes me back. Classic!

[johnnyjr2345]

I remember this

[PIRodz13]

what song is this?

[skylinefolife]

@PIRodz13 Love sick

[mixingbowl3]

He's got the moves like Jagger.

[loveacarrot]

LOL that was hilarious

[Bobman4671]

Bob Dylan is probably like, "Damn, I wish I had what he did."

[sunhiggins]

Hahaha...yup, still funny.



[FJxJongno3ga]

Soy Bomb is just providing Sign Language translation services for Bob Dylan. In other words, we still have no idea wtf Bob Dylan is saying.

[RussianNightmare]

Security should of beat his ass

[ThaSoulFya]

hahahahhaa i fucking remember this x) bob's reaction was just priceless. i used to be a big fan of bob's before i found out that he's cool with apartheid & ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. so disappointing. FREE PALESTINE!

[Bonzibuddy4ever2]

ahaha fuck you bob dylan

[nikkiejanee1972]

this choregraphy would be good on the "just dance" video games

see who would win that one

[HorribleSonofa]

Lunch box collector loves all the pussycats

[dude15697]

That man single-handedly did the impossible: he made the Grammy's somewhat bearable for 30 seconds. A feat no one has yet to duplicate.

[nikkiejanee1972]

bob dylan is way hotter than john lennon or elvis..

i love him:)

[nikkiejanee1972]

oh my god! I love how Dylan gives only "one" look then just continues on like nothing wrong..he's so bad ass. I love him.

nothing gets to him.

[softskullbubblebrain]

It actually went well with the performance, before it was looking too much like a bad 90's GAP ad.

[wildcat1559]

fuck if i was in the audience behind dylan i would have fucken tackled that douche. lame ass audience

[MangledBizarre]

Thumbs up if you think Soy Bomb is the ONLY way to dance!!! xD

[TheFakeyCakeMaker]

This is so funny, I love the way Bob Dylan just steps aside for security to deal with it and then gets back to the song. xx

[JVH2008]

As a Minnesotan, I remember it was a big deal when "one of ours" was "Soy Bombed" on live television. The Minnesota news stations made the story one of their leads for the following day's news cycle. As an 8 year old, I was in awe. I instantly found the event to be one of the most hilarious moments I had ever witnessed. It would take 14 years, but I finally was able to pay tribute to "Soy Bomb", remaking the incident myself at a local university coffee shop concert.

[nikkiejanee1972]

@JVH2008

what a great idea...

more soy bombs at coffee shops

[PowerGlove79]

I'm actually surprised he was on there for as long as he was. I would have thought security would have pounced on him sooner. But good thing they didn't because we wouldn't have as much of this to just take in and appreciate as a piece of pop culture history

[hilltop530]

Sucks it happened during this song but, that guy had some moves........

[eddystone333]

Love how cool Dylan stays. Does a double take, but doesn't even miss a beat with the lyrics. Can't get much cooler than that.

[larsporsena38]

Bob dylan should have just kicked this guy's ass. What an ASSHOLE



[ks4isu]

I remember watching this live - it wasn't until the guards took him away that I realized Soy Bomb wasn't part of the act. We had some chuckles about it at work the next day.

[MenloMarseilles]

Security hustling onstage at 0:46

[ragingbull888]

hahahahahahahhaha

[bigpapykane]

The president sounded douchey!!

[jrmetmoi]

He can always join a modern dance/contemporary dance company! LOL

[jrmetmoi]

It sucks that they didn't show them actually taking Soy Bomb off in this footage! Bummer!

[lawlbiker]

what the fuck is this??? hahahahhaahha

[ZstarOdustE]

I came for Dylan...but stayed for the soy bomb!

[pprgtv]

Lmao haaaa crazy ass

[jasonnwest]

what kind of microphone setup is Bob using?

[HamEdwards]

i would have unstrapped the guitar and took a swing at the guy hopefully knocking him down maybe a bloody face if i got him good enough. that would have been more memorable for the grammys and WAY more badass

[jasonnwest]

@HamEdwards you must be Keith RIchards!!! nice to meet you!

[JOEX3006]

Funny as hell!

[inuformers]

Why would anyone dislike this video?

[youngbrolly6]

DYLAN WAS PROBLY THINKING "WTF?!!!,,,,EH NEVERMIND ITS JUST THAT WEED I SMOKED KICKING IN" LOL

[afjaggers]

I love Dylan's reaction. "oh look at this guy." and he keeps playing.

[safire4real]

Soy bomb is a pie ass nigga

[ellora3]

lou adixx i found a more complete version that shows them getting him off stage *:D*

[capsisbest]

guy went to my school

[TTIME55440]

Soy Bomb for President!!

[ellora3]

HAHAHAHA YES!



[phenethylaminedreams]

I think Soy Bomb guy is pretty fucking cool, actually. It's not like anyone thought any less of Bob Dylan for it.

[JiffySpook]

Several things 1) This was Dylan's best album in years 2) He's too good for the Grammys, at any time 3) The dancers are utterly unnecessary 4) The Soy Bomb guy has never been good at anything for his entire life, and never will be, and this is the closest he's been to talent, which isn't saying anything.

[ANightofFun]

@JiffySpook This video alone means the Soy Bomb guy has done more in life than many people, most probably including yourself. He's accomplished something great here, turning a lackluster Bob Dylan (in eye shadow) performance into something that's still making people laugh and smile more than a decade later. It's hilarious, and took some serious balls on his part. The cowardice you display here by anonymously criticizing him from your computer screen is certainly something he doesn't possess.

[JiffySpook]

@ANightofFun Well, you've certainly changed my opinion, entirely. Thank you. Continue to spread that good word.

[JustMeRecordz]

To those of you whom this pisses off; I think that you need your own personal soy bomb to jump out and dance so that it shakes up your own world a little bit.

[HecstasyQ]

hahaha he didnt mind!

[bsmigs3]

That pisses me the fuck off. That piece of shit nobody deserves the death penalty.

[zycollier]

@bsmigs3 WTF is WRONG with you? Death Penalty? He danced with "Soy Bomb" written on his chest.

[williamspendlove]

Dylan is awesome, I love how he just keeps on keeping on..

[ChristmasFace]

Dylan at 0:16:

'I've seen weirder shit than that' *returns to song*

[ProducShuns]

@ChristmasFace Fucking lol, he's like "man wtf..."

[ppapricashh]

brutus..

[georgec092]

Two questions: Whats with all the awkward dancers, and why did it take so long for that dancer to get kicked out?

[Dihnekis]

Totally awesome.

[sturmraist50]

This is so surreal.

[oldsalt1958]

good old bob no matter what happens around him the true artist continus .

[greendragn]

.28 Dylan WTF

[unskinnyboba]

When he came on, I said to my wife :"wow, that's kinda artsy even for Dylan."

[daveeeed99]

@unskinnyboba Hahaha

[steincayman]

I remember watching this live with my father....I was only 12 years old. We had such a riot that I even remembered this til today. Thank you youtube!

[3bar]

He should have done to him what Pete Townsend did to Abbie Hoffman at Woodstock.

[xTheOxx]

Not even phased? He's clearly pissed off to me.

[RichardVanWagner]

@xTheOxx I thought he was pissed too



[bassplayinboy7]

lol. Bob;s not even phased. He's probably stoned.

[Pippin76]

What a clown.

[mellkiades]

That's the great artist Portnoy! The Eeels also have a track dedicated to this, "Whatever happened to Soy Bomb"...very good track by the way. The Eeels voice reminds me of Beck, who, at time, reminds me of Dylan...everything's connected hahahehehehe. The apology was obviously made by a douche bag who doesn't understand zilch about art.

[toxicgreen]

@mellkiades no, the guy who dances like a freak during a beautiful performance is the douchebag. Art is what Dylan is creating and this guy comes and ruins it by jerking around really close to Dylan, invading his personal bubble and looking like an idiot.

[mellkiades]

@toxicgreen you really don't get it, do you? "Ah, good taste, what a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness. -" Pablo Picasso, painter and sculptor (1881-1973)

[haroldlovesmaude]

His facial expression hardly even changes. I love that he continues with the performance.

[willerror]

He barely blinks. Total professional.

[PriceLeonette]

Bob is pissed off big time ahahahahahahhahah I'm love sick toooooo

[penquin402]

that doesnt even really look like bob i mean like the facial expressions do but the rest no.

[iejacinto]

I saw this live. I was thirteen. My aunt had given me a bob dylan CD for chirstmas Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits to be exact. I was barely discovering him. I got so exiceted he was on TV that I was dancing and when the guy came on stage I began to do dance like him. Years later I found out he was not part of the show. This performance is one of the favorite memories. That CD was actually one of my first english speaking CDs. I am the only one in my family that understands Dylan's lyrics.

[spooninspoon]

is that maynard james keenan from tool ? lol
