  • That sparkly dress shows up a lot.

  • Absolutely gorgeous and drop dead talented. <3 you, Amanda Palmer. SuperAwesome indeed. XX

  • She looks so beautiful at 0:37...

  • I am working on an anime music video for this song mixed with the tv series Welcome to the N.H.K. and I should be done with it and have it uploaded onto youtube tomorrow.

  • Some of those backing dancers are disturbingly pretty.

  • 3:38 :D i love that part. it makes me smile every time i hear her say "what the fuck is up with this shit!?" i love amanda palmer

  • She is fucking MESMERIZING.

    How is it that this song (and video) wasn't one of the biggest hits of 2008? Oh yeah, because Roadrunner Records wouldn't know how to promote a strong female artist if their life depended on it (and on top of that the misogynistic bastards told her her stomach looked fat in the Leeds United video)!

  • for a couple seconds i thought her voice was panned a bit right... weird.

  • whats the guitar hero bit?

  • amanda palmer is an inspiration to us all

  • Tasmania Isle of Maps, natural old growth forests, clear felling, regrowth, can you believe plantation managed investment schemes, Gunns, Gay street Deloraine, metro waxy legged cyclists ,pelaton cafe society, pulp mills, Iconic locations such as Bogun Road, Golden Valley, Paradise, Nowhere Else, true google it!,

  • ben...voila la catherine ringer anglaise. pas mal...

  • Amanda Palmer is the sexiest woman in rock history! And the song features the legendary East Bay Ray!

  • why the fuck is ';Guitar Hero' in the title

  • @KelFison Cause it's the name of the song?  The video description is incorrect

  • @McMarlock when was this song made?

  • @KelFison The song's was around late 2006 but this recorded version is from 2007/2008.

  • @JarethDrakul so they named it after the game Guitar Hero??

  • @KelFison

    Yeah, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure the song is about like, teenagers going to war, and the dissonance between what it's like in real life and what it's like in the video games. Which is why she's not actually playing the guitar, it's meant to look like she's just hitting the fret on Guitar Hero.

  • @JarethDrakul ohh so its named after the game guitar hero...ok

  • Does this remind anyone else of TREX? She definitely reminds of Julie Burchill's line about Marc Bolan, that she wanted to mother him, shag him and be him.

    Well the last two, anyway.

  • god this woman is amazing <3

  • You'll never get to lie in a pile with Amanda Palmer...

  • Dear Lady GaGa, Emilie Autumn. Dear Cheryl Cole, Tarja Turunen. Dear Katy Perry, Amanda Palmer. Dear Cher Lloyd, Brody Dalle. Dear Rebecca Black, Jessicka Addams. Eat talent, bitches.
  • @CrazyDiamond003 at first i thought you were saying that none of the people listed had talent o.0 i was appalled until i saw amanda palmer's name and reread it xD

  • Does anyone know what boots shes wearing? I must have them!!

  • I really would like to have this song in my "guitar hero". come on!

  • okay the guy with the blonde wig, blue dress, and tricorner hat looks like s minor character from pirates of the carribean…

  • @venezerrezavecmoi How come? 

  • My friend kissed her. I'm so fucking jealous of her.....

  • Brilliant : )

  • She is absolutely hot *_*

  • Norway reminds me of this video and "Strenght through Music". Really sad.

  • It always annoyed me that Panic at the Disco became famous and HUGE! But the Dresden Dolls didn't.... Panic always seemed to me to be a corporate styled packaged that was spoon feed to the people who had no idea who and where the style was being ripped off from.

  • @Brokeninc That's probably why they were huge.

  • @Brokeninc I don't know who on earth had the 'bright idea' of even daring to suggest that panic at the disco and the dresden dolls would ever make for a good musical match, or that they would benefit each other in anyway by touring together... Probably the dresden dolls should've declined and refused to do it, but a gig is a gig I suppose... I wouldn't exactly consider them to be huge. Marketed towards emo, bottled at reading, drastic image transformation - No one takes them seriously.

  • I wish I were that kid when she strokes him 3:50

  • 'Cause even if I saved you, there's a million more in line. <3

  • epic eyebrows 0_o

  • Ok now this is nowu 4th favorite Amanda Palmer / Dresden Dolls song. I can't for the life of me understand how she gets sooo much better and more luminously beautiful every single time I see her.

  • Um, no. Taylor Swift is in the suggestions. NO. Taylor has a decent voice, and her song writing is OK, but she is no where near to the level of Amanda FUCKING Palmer. Amanda will be a legend. Taylor will be a "Why did we like that" conversation in 20-30 years.

  • I've seen her boobies. They're great. Hit Like if you knew the pictures were on the dresdendolls website.

  • Making out to faces of death!! Its like she knows me!!!

  • making out to "faces of deatth" its like she knows me!!!!

  • I love her boots.

  • This is a sick song one question tho are her eyebrows drawn on or r they tattoos cuz if they are that's badass

  • @MrLiquidxCrack Amanda draws her eyebrows on, as she has for years. It's actually kinda fun to look at the different designs she has used over time. Some simple, some with a little flair, and some extremely detailed and artistic (for instance, around the time of "The Dresden Dolls" self-titled release).

  • That awkward moment when you realize that a guy dressed like a girl is prettier than you. :\

  • I'm a huge fan of Amanda Palmer i like every song she has done she's a amazing song writer and singer

  • her eyebrows:D the only thing thats sexy about her

  • @Jery30917 Her mind! Her voice! aaaaaand her legs..... I don't know I think she's sexy head to toe

  • Isnt the blond girl wearing Amandas dress from Oasis and the Girls just wanna have fun kareoke video?

  • Isnt the blond girl wearing Amandas dress from Oasis and the Girls just wanna have fun kareoke video?

  • sorry, but i just killed her...

  • I rather love the guy leaning on her leg at 1:20.

  • those boots kick ass

  • i sometimes wonder what her eyebrows looked like if she never drew them on...then again, i'm starting to believe she was just born with these awesome ones.

  • @jamesoconnor1234 Noo It's their singer solo. But apparently Dresdens are getting back together :)

  • @kalinargh I think the Dresden Dolls are back together now. They did a big performance on Halloween last year.

  • @TheScreamingCarrot They're not "back together" per se. They're doing a reunion tour at the moment. They still tour and do shows together, but they've said they're not making any new albums

  • I found this song almost a year ago and have watched it 100 times and yet still not tired of it my fav MIss Palmer Song

  • crazzzzyyyyy and I like it.

  • She's going to be one of those artists who is completely under appreciated in her time but is listed as being hugely influential by future generations of amazing musicians. That knowledge does nothing to soothe the rage that she is not a household name but talentless hacks get paid millions to not write their own songs and only sing with auto-tune when they're not lip-syncing.

  • @starofinanna that's the "horizon of expectations" for you.

  • @starofinanna jkust lik the Beetales. seroosly lookl at joNH Legand kno on2 knewew ohw muacxh ofa GTEWNIUES he was unitlr imagine came out in 1990 and bye thern he did soungs with KAyne( West and then he beacome fame????

  • @cedricthecentaur WAahHT???///

  • @starofinanna I think you're over appreciating her music here. It's entertaining, it's kinda catchy, but honestly she feels like an immensely pretentious person via her music. I'm sure "future generations" will know about her but I doubt many people will be highly influenced by her music. It'll be more like, "Yeah, I listened to her music. It was alright." After listening to 5 of her songs I can safely say that the people who like her will love her and everyone else will just feel...meh.

  • @starofinanna She's much more of a household name now than a ton of other excellent bands. As far as music industry careers go, she's got it pretty damn good.

  • @starofinanna She's already listed as an inspiration by Lady Gaga.

  • @starofinanna Amen. My thoughts exactly. It's such a shame that legendary artists are often ignored by society in their prime, but are then revered posthumously. Thankfully many of us here get to experience her work while it's current.

  • @starofinanna It's funny... Kesha and Lady Gaga cite her as an influence.

    Amanda Palmer wants to know where her gay dancers are.

  • @starofinanna soo.... an artist?

  • @starofinanna well its funny you sayt that becoz she isnt even playing the guitar so she may aswell be lip sinking

  • @KelFison Starofinanna meant lip-syncing during concerts. ALL musicians lip-sync/ghost-play during produced music videos

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone else think she kind of has a Linda Evangelista drag impersonator thing going on? No really, it's a good thing. I love the way she looks.

  • I love this video, the song, and the stark contrast between the two highest rated comments.

  • Every waking moment it seems I am falling deeper and deeper in love with her.

  • i love the fact that she handsom ^^ and even more so the string features you dont get that often. fuck dainty!

  • her skin is so pretty...

  • sooo umm Amanda Palmer = Harley Quinn? Jus' saying. Does anyone else see the resemblance? XD

  • @Battie Yeah, I can.

  • @Battie

    If they ever have Harley in the films they should definitely get her to do the part. I mean, so few people could pull that off and she is most certainly one of them.

  • @Battie

    And Brian would the Joker then ^^

  • what type of guitar is she using?

  • @SimLappp

    I sincerely hope it's a Stratocaster.

  • Hey Amanda, you don't know me... but I know you.

    *glomp

    OHMIGAWD SORRY.

  • This song reminds me of "I'm not yet dead" in spamalot when all the plague victims suddenly get out of the cart and become the chorus halfway through the dance number.

  • god, i've been addicted to this song all day XD

    the guy on the right in the beginning is really cute XD

    LOVE your music, Amanda Palmer.

  • 24 people have no ears or eyes

  • @actorboy59 24 people wanted to marry Neil Gaiman.

  • @BaldotheDon

    I did but I still liked this video because they're both such fantastic people I could never say anything against them

  • @BaldotheDon I'm a straight male who STILL wants to marry Neil Gaiman, and I'm upvoting the video.

  • god shes uh fuckin genius

  • I love her, but I am the only one that isn't too terribly impressed by her solo work? =/

  • OMG HOW I WISH I WERE THAT GUY SHE WAS TOUCHING

  • @meowlove6 she's a lesbian dumbass!

  • @TiberiusStorm She's unspecific and bisexual. She's engaged to Neil Gaiman.

  • Amanda Palmer is drop dead gorgeous. This is an objective fact.

  • Amanda Palmer is awesome...

    If you think she's not, GTFO!

  • She's like a scary sexy cabaret clown playing with broken toys.

  • Fuck, I'm jealous, I wanna lick her too.

  • HOW I HATE THE PEOPLE WHO WAS IN THAT VIDEO!! i'm jealous as hell.

  • 4:27

  • what has she done to me? she's not attractive, but I'm captivated by her.

  • @jcbamm26 oh she is attractive....but its when you look at her dresden dolls band mate brian and your have the same thoughts....its strange when your male.

  • @jcbamm26 She's an artist, she connects with people on a level totally different from physical attraction. Her music is her identity

    ...though she's totally attractive you crazy

  • @jcbamm26 oh but you are so mistaken she is attractive. her talent, her soul, her music, her words, they are all so beautiful and yes very very captivating!

  • I love her hair in this!

  • i loooove her eyebrows.....

  • @SocialDissimulation None of the above.

  • So sexy. Can't stand it.

  • 1:44 Hey! It's the dress from the "Oasis"-video :D

  • Amanda Palmer's fucking bad ass.

  • you gotta bang your head to this in the car. id bang it extra hard even if i knew i was being watched. love you AFP.

  • She's a brilliant artist, and extremely creative. yet... she's also a normal person. Her success hasn't gone to her head. I sometimes wonder if her influences for this song came from The Clash and Madness.

  • Amanda Palmer would skin your dick and break your back in bed. It would be like trying to have sex with a mountain lion.

  • pause at 3:01 sexy and scary

  • cheapest video evar. love it

  • wicked...

  • I lol'd at 1:21, with the guy leaning against her leg XD

    But this is an amazing video and Amanda Palmer is an amazing artist.

    FUCK YEAH!

  • amanda is pure sex

  • Pause at 2:53. Ain`t so sexy now! xD, no I love her though

  • Oh how I LOVE this video/song...

  • It's not a Stratocaster, but then it's not her playing a guitar on the track (east bay ray from the Dead Kennedys plays the guitar)

  • I love that guitar tone! :D awesome. (:

  • i want that fucking guitar!

  • Sooo this is a parody of the 'video games cause high school shootings' attitude right? It's cryptic even by AFP standards...

  • I just noticed that right when it shows her with the guitar her lips are all vibrant and glossy. I love her.

  • I love the was this music video is layed out c: and she look really Hot ~'u'~

  • she has a death in june patch on her jacket. NAZI LOL!

  • I want amanda as and adult mentor is that weird?

  • Man. If I could only articulate the ways this song hits me.

  • Amanda gave me the hugest, drunkest, sexiest hug last night... I love her to death 

  • killing oneself by escapism as a point to killing others because of escapism

  • shes always sexy

  • So glad to see people are watching these, not just Dresden Dolls' stuff. I love DD, but Amanda is soooo much better on her own, I think.

  • @JeshJeshJesh I think she is too, i love Dresden Dolls too, but i think her solo stuff is much better personally

  • @Soniclife1  I agree!

  • @GetMoney2TakeMoney :) i think she couldn't put out songs like this when she was with the Dolls because it's a totally different genre, but i'm glad she did

  • Song is cool, reminds me of Siouxsie and the Banshees, in a good way. I like it better when I'm not watching the video. Awesome song.

  • I dont know how many times I've watched all her videos, She is just amazing! Such an inspiration <3

  • Her eyebrows kick ass.

  • YOYOYO!!! thats EAST BAY RAY in the backround. THE guitar hero. thats also east bay ray on the guitar, as if ap could play the gitbox. she looks kinda akward holding it lol. YOUR THE MAN RAY!!! DK

  • This is kinda random, but after watching this I keep thinking that Amanda Palmer would make an awesome spy :D

  • Monochromatic black. Roy Orbison status lika mutherfucker. Oh and that old, fat dude in the glasses is East Bay Ray THE guitar hero. Your welcome nerds. I bet she really is the kinda chick who gets wet watching Faces of Death too, right.

  • @ElectricAnesthetic Your last statement... it's not like that's a BAD thing, is it? Besides, even if she went with us, she's not the girl we think she is.

  • Some women, they're not "hot," they're not "sexy," they're not "freaks." They are barely bound forces of nature, maelstroms of sensuality, insecurity, bravery, perversion and creativity. They have an affinity with a power that's utterly female and utterly frightening, and for all that, inescapable in their attractivity. Singularities of emotion and sex. They can literally love you to death, wither away to nothing at losing you, only to be born again, flame from ash, blazing and making.

  • I don't know if AFP is like that, but there's a timbre in her voice, a twinkle in her eye, a turn in her phrase, an openness about her; it leads me to suspect that she is like this, and that is really hard to fake so well.

    But no matter, really. Can such ever be known, or only dreamt?

  • @BaldotheDon wow...I have never had amanda palmer so completely and perfectly summed up. Met her...she gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek and I nearly passed out.

    Her performances are only barely captured on camera...you have to see her live.

  • @BaldotheDon whoa, this is gettin me hard

  • @Medrin Me too, and I don't even have a cock.

  • @BaldotheDon

    Oh please...sounds like someone needs to get laid. My guess is that you're an awkward overweight closet poet that quietly weeps to himself about being lonely while churning out volumes of long winded and hysterically self indulgent poems that clap yourself on the back. You are so creative...one day everyone will see it somehow. Please do us all a favor and cut up and down, not across.

  • @smirch Ha! You guessed wrong, fool! I haven't written a poem in years!

  • @smirch

    Sounds like someone is a DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIICK.

  • @BaldotheDon

    

    Wooow... are you a poet? ;-)

  • @ElectricAnesthetic

    Man you're a bit of a dick aye.

  • @Laneh naw, i just love dk. RECOGNIZE east bay ray. respect the east bay area. and quit running your mouth like a triffleing, obnoxious female, breeeeeeazeeeee.

  • @ElectricAnesthetic "Obnoxious Fuck", as Amanda would say...hmm

    yeah shee would ^_^

  • @cookiedew take everything so seriously. i don't mind. bitches be triffling.

  • @Laneh take yourself so seriously

  • "'Cause even if I saved you, there's a million more in line..."

    Gorgeous woman. I'm in love.

  • 3:38 I approve.

  • im in love. mmm mmm killer boots.

  • is this Amanda's new/side project? Or just a Ben Folds compalation?

  • Such a great video. Such a great song. Such a great ALBUM!! Ben Folds - will you produce my EP??
