Tim Minchin - So Rock : Music Video

[Kat6295]

3:43...wanking? :P

[Kat6295]

That slide on to the chair was pretty impressive. <3 :P

[mrdukesyisea]

Talk about stiff audience much : / Gotta love the minchin though :D

[CrazyKayzee]

Aww he's so cute, I think its the bare feet!

[Serendipitepiphany]

I used a piece of this song in my very first video. It was sung by a sock-puppet!

Thankyou Tim and KingOwen!

[TheDesolateOne84]

Rowan Atkinson's done this, but more comic effect

[Unretributed]

LOL this is awesome, love the fact he plays "air plays" all the instuments and it looks so reaistic like you belive he can actually play them

his songs are so legendary. ace performance, and the fact that even though its a kinda stiff audience he carries on and so well just makes me respect him all the more

[technicolorexplosion]

I know, I didn't even notice the transition from miming to live singing - I still don't know when it changes!

[TheDesolateOne84]

3:00

[Serendipitepiphany]

But he only picks up the mike at 4:00... Though I agree, certainly looks like he's singing.

Hahaha, he's got us good...

[alethiaface]

haha his hand actions hahahaha

[DaCrazyJoker]

To answer some FAQs, he's always barefoot because it helps him imagine that he's in his living room and therefore relaxing him. Kinda like the "imagine the audience is naked" theory.

Also i would like to say to those of you who play these instruments that he is actually playing (well, air playing) the right notes and drum movements and stuff.

[XallxthingsxbooshxX]

i thought when he was first singing without the mic it was him singing live ... im a idiot :)

his lip sync is soo good:)

[AmyGarrod]

Why is he always bare foot?

Ive noticed it in like all his videos, yes i am a bit sad ;]

[APenguinRawr]

It's part of his outfit:

Eyeliner,

No shoes,

Nice Suit,

His (Awesome) Hair,

a Piano.

x]

[Fweezeh]

Sooo...how does he manage to slip into not lip-singing? o_O 'tis magic...

[evenstevens280]

He...gets a microphone?

[Fweezeh]

Ohhh yeah...didn't notice that *hides*

[ceramicrain]

This man is ROCK!

[richobcfc]

going to see him next month cant wait, quality stuff.

[benpowell7389]

this is literally the greatest thing ever...and i stand by my claim

[greendayaregods95]

But if you came to see ME!!!!

[VictorianPrincess100]

I am in love again...always with Minchin hehe

[TheMagicHooker]

Didn't Lee Evans do something like this though at the beggining of one of his stand up tours maybe, i still love this tho

[voltage17121712]

who care about Lee Evans, hes just a small sweaty twat.

[TheOrangeFondler]

No he is right, Lee Evans does something a bit similar with invisible instruments in spotlights. Go ahead and search for it, doesn't hurt to explore comedy

[BlackRavenStudios]

Awsome, dude!!!

[BlackRavenStudios]

I know, he does seem nervous on stage sometimes, maybe on purpose

[Mosquito1302]

yea it is on purpose, if u look on his website it says his stage charachter is mostly acting

[formberz]

as funny as the guy is, do you ever get the impression that he doesnt feel entirely comfortable on stage? not what he puts on, which he exagerrates, but just his demeanour sometimes.

[h00145]

personally i think that's kind of a character he puts on for stage, but i could be wrong.

[liberal0irony]

maybe he's like mitch hedberg, mitch had acute stage fright so he did his act in sunglasses and kept his eyes closed! I'd say tim just gets a little nervous every now and then

[oldergrazzt]

haha this song has been stuck in my head since ive heard it

[HeartsOfATeenager]

haha legend

[norsef]

I just saw him at the Udderbelly. There was less than three hundred seats and I was about ten foot from him.

One guy in the front row gave him a high five as he came back from the toilets.

[boffinbabe12]

HA! I was there! That was an amazing night wasn't it!? I can't believe so many people just kept getting up to go to the toilet!

[norsef]

Best gig I've ever been to. Still can't believe how close we were, my sister just paid a £100 to see Lee Evans and was about 20 rows back.

I think, looking at your videos, I was sitting right behind you, a lad with glasses on your left joining with an air bass guitar and someone on your right with a goatee. Bit weird 'ey?

Still great to see a girl with taste. That your first time seeing him?

[boffinbabe12]

Naah, sorry I don't think that was me. I was second row centre. On my left was my mum lol!

But yeah the seats were amazing!

That was the first time I saw him, yeah, but i've booked tickets for him at the paramount festival already!

[norsef]

Heh, I guess "girl with black hair" is a more common look than I thought.

My first time as well though I had heard him on Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better.

Also I had to see him after reading this great review

"Minchin looks like a direct cross between Bill Bailey and someone infinitley more attractive who has just been electrocuted then told to get on with it."

I was trying to get a ticket to his paramount show but the site wasn't working.

[rainmouse]

Hey I was there at udderbelly in Brighton too. very front fight in the middle, had to pull my feet in when he did the michael jackson spin at the start so he didnt trip over them.

Amazing show, very different and his face has so many vivid expressions.

[norsef]

It's strange how 200 of us could make more noise than the entire Sydney Opera House.

We clap hardcore!

[sadscene]

This was soo funny.. Tim Minchin has that certain something. Love it!!

[saphikat]

me wanty tim!

me wanty tim!

[12hellboy12]

But u cant have timmy

[saphikat]

why not?

r u calling me fat?

waaaaahhhhhh!! *cres*

=] lol.

[merillupin]

This is so UNBELIEVABLY awesome. Tim is just so unique...!

[zooomm]

the audience sucked in the intro!

[12hellboy12]

too true that seemed to be bored by his awesome work

[forsoothalack]

Phwoar... Sarah's a lucky woman to have him in her life. He's GORGEOUS!

[MayaCreatesChaos]

Do you know where this was filmed? Anyone?

[kingowen17]

Opera House, Sydney.

[MayaCreatesChaos]

Awesome, Thanks. I kind of worked it out later.. bit of a stupid question haha. Thanks heaps tho. :)

[Teargasm]

Tim Minchin is ausome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WarpedEwe]

Tim is to fucking ROCK!

[Spenny8813]

the show is called So Live cuz you know... It so is

[sirgarfieldthebrave]

oh yeah i saw him do this live in his home town

[alliswel]

Maybe a stupid question, but I'll go ahead with it anyway...

Does Tim actually play all the instruments he mime's?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did. The guy's a piano genious.

[DavidEwin]

I'd say he can play them, whether he can play them like he mimes them is a different story :) however I also wouldn't be surprised if he can play them all.

[John7Frusciante]

LEGEND

[lucazade]

and i do wish i could spell <3 haha.

[lucazade]

Even thought Tim Minchin is absolutley awesome, i do beielve Lee Evans did the 'imaginary Drum' thing first =\

[TheThunderboltKid101]

even if he did it first, he isn't anywhere near as so fucking rock as tim is :P

[lucazade]

true lmao XD

[hiz619]

i soooooo wanna learn the sign language for "i am so fucking rock" cus just amazing

[xXMessedKrisXx]

Learn it =] It's not too hard =D

[profaniti]

[boburnham]

[FluffONeill]

You know what, I think he does. This is class, I NEED the DVD!

[asdasdqwerty]

5.34 "fuckin bwow" ahahahahah great fella

[sciencedoggy]

Okay, Australia, I forgive you for Yahoo Serious now.

[Muglez]

DID YOU HONESTLY JUST BRING THAT UP?

I'd almost managed to get it out of my mind. Oh dear god the memory is so horrible... *goes fetal* *sucks thumb*

[wheadle]

saw him live friday 1st feb 2008 at the queens hall edinburgh and the best show iv seen in a long time, keep it coming tim

[srw9]

[phoebeann123]

:D I love this DVD!!

I saw him live at last years Melb comedy fest - it was bloody great!!!!

And I got too meet him too *DIES* Best thing ever. Such a great man.

[QetebTheMiddayDemon]

My parents (Lucky little..) Saw him live in melbourne and on their way out, saw Adam Hills and Tripod standing there...And didn't say hi!

[phoebeann123]

:o How could you not say hi!!!!!

Geez, i'd be right over in a flash to say hi haha!!

[Archelerona]

is he not wearing shoes?

[kingowen17]

he never does.

As he says in the song it's just an affectation

[Archelerona]

yeah, i posted that before i watched the whole thing, it's pretty cool.

[dmoteone]

man tim minchin is so funny.

although rowan atkinson did this gag first.

i have to say tim minchin owned him with it.

LEGEND.

[thegoodcocklife]

so many good memories of seeing him live

HE IS A LEGEND.

[samis1bigboy]

i saw him in this little theater in nyc that sat about 50 people and after the show i got to go up and shake his hand and get an autograph im gettin it framed but i have so many laughs from that concert especaly him making fun of my older brother

[thegoodcocklife]

saw him in a england in maidstone, you're so lucky i would love to shake his hand and get an autograph but i did feel he was singing "you grew on me" in my direction!

[samis1bigboy]

[samis1bigboy]
