TISM - (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River (Collingwood Town Hall)

[fordge100]

they were right about Michel Jackson who'd figure.

[shnunk1]

"Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson."

Now, I know Murray was found guilty, but they hit the nail on the head.

[angemala]

Yay for Australian music!

[angemala]

LOL These guys are weird!

[XxXScirishWarLordXxX]

Yes to drugs! Do them!

[Trowzers]

the line about Michael Jackson suddenly has a whole new meaning XD I still remember watching TISM at an O week gig at a university. I was seeing double for some reason, and everyone was wearing only balaclavas and socks on their cocks. I was confused about exactly how many semi-naked men were dancing on stage XD

[shorebreak69]

sad I never saw them live, very sad., but they live on in my cd player,,FOREVER!!!!!! WooooHooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[judybingbong]

I have fond memories of getting trashed and going nuts to these guys in my former years. I'd like them to do another tour so I can die of a middle aged womans heart attack in the mosh pit

[JayGOS117]

@judybingbong Jude, there's nothing i could respond to that that Youtube would be okay with XD

Good luck, girl.

[Ynimixer]

Cheers at the guys trying to 'unmask' the TISM guy at 1:15 lol

[judybingbong]

Come back fat tallented foil faces...... NOW!

[oldboot]

TISM is better than anything.

[mantis707]

tween wave by southpark is better than this noise

[lilnasty59]

this is shit

[gillybgoode]

@lilnasty59 

[judybingbong]

TISM never realised how briliant they were

[mantis707]

this is horrible.....its like the teletubbies on acid but they cant sing...I want the 3 minutes of my life back..aHonestly these guys are utter shite

[MrMadchad]

@mantis707 that is what make them so good they are shit and tism will be the first people that will tell you that

[shorebreak69]

@mantis707 You're a loser . No-one cares of your opinion. Who the hell has even seen teletubbies???? Go the hell back to watching kids shows with your(6 yr old) boyfriend.

[judybingbong]

I am old enough to have had the PLEASURE of seing TISM live, I wish you could all do the same. They were absolutely totally effing fantastic. Never a person stood still. Way way before their time. I miss them, If they came back for a tour, I'm old enough and fat enough to happily die of a heart attack going nuts in the mosh pit.

[Thyrfing84]

@judybingbong Well said, mate. Well said. ;)

[petraandmia]

RHB did a stage dive at the Metro- tied my wife's shoelaces together during the song- magic

[judybingbong]

I wish I was on the drug that killed River Phoenix, because I'm bored out of my brain. I've seen TISM live, nothing compares.

[bloodybirdbrain]

man i wish i was born a few years earlier to have seen these guys in action.amazing band.

[klippies1011]

these guys r freaking nuts

[judybingbong]

I was a 'must see' TISM ' fan, Paddo RSL, mosh pit, filthy, dirty, when are these guys coming back, I'm not as old as they are, what's their fucking excuse, get the ski masks on boys, guaranteed mortgage paymentens or a holiday in Phuket. I Love Use All xoxoxoxoxo

[parallelogramammoth]

@judybingbong their guitar player died of cancer, maybe they don't wanna go on without him. Maybe they're just getting older, enjoying family life or something, Maybe they'll come back in 2 yrs. Maybe they'll be back tomorrow. Who knows? It's obviously pointless trying to predict TISM.

And if they never come back, at least they were here in the first place, and we have some excellent music and video to remember them, and so we can continue on with them in our lives at least in that way.

[EcolemScoots]

6 people are on the drug that killed river pheonix

[vars666]

pure genius

[karsown]

I could care less about River Phoenix, this isnt offensive, just really bad music.

[TheOldEchoes]

@karsown Oh c'mon, it ain't that bad is it? I bet your leg was tapping along.

[vars666]

@karsown you suck. probably one of the most best festival ever bands

[karsown]

@vars666 most best? i thought they taught English in that desolate, backward country you come from.

[knucklhed]

@karsown nice one you arsehole. FYI i can spell URACUNT

[parallelogramammoth]

@karsown if you ever have to resort to picking on grammatical errors then you are a bad debater and you obviously are lacking in intelligence. And the fact that you're trollin' on youtube speaks volumes about your lack of a life. You only get one chance and you're wasting it. Hope you can sleep at night with that knowledge.

[karsown]

@parallelogramammoth how do you sleep at night, knowing you love this shitty band?

[ryanthesound]

@karsown Australia is backward? Ironic coming from the United States.

[parallelogramammoth]

@vars666 and i missed them! They were at big day out in 2001 i think, but i didn't know about them. I might not have got them even if i was aware of them, i was only 13 and had gone to see (shudder) limp bizkit *vomits*

[disturbedfocus]

BRING BACK TISM!

[perspectivehorizon]

H2S04 and HCL white house is the OH!!!

[otumoetaipat]

good 'ol drugs, and fuck that adolescent/hyped drug culture. i mean sitting at home and doing (dangerously too much//////////) drugs for no good reason. and waking up the next day and being none the wiser( except missing £150 from the 8th you were sure would keep you going forever.......................­////////////??????????

[deengew]

seems like a lot of people are butthurt about the subject matter

[karsown]

this is just bad music, so unbelievably annoying

[viridae]

Anyone else notice the band member with no pants?

[pakreecekennedy]

good old recovery & rage days in Australian

festival music...ha ha many memorys.

[9inchsradius]

Awesome band, awesome song!

[SuperHappyLuckyDMT]

Fucking doughnuts!!! Nice work fellas.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

I checked this out because I saw a clip of Anton Newcombe talking about it. Uh...it blows. It's not that it's in bad taste, or I don't get it or whatever...it's just that it sucks. The chanting style of the singing reminds of "Barbie Girl" or "Little Eyed Joe" or something. Just a total waste of time. 

[FannyMcPie]

tism know their funny... back then this song actually helped me accept what happened to river, by laughing about it! musically, they nailed the rave style... they could do any genre you could throw at them! bring back tism now, we need them!

[Niobium2000]

This song is crap...I like it!

[mandybfour]

Utter Crap

[musicisthesweetlife0]

What is that thing that they do. It looks like they are hitting thier heads ??

[musicisthesweetlife0]

YESSSSSSSSSSS soooo gooood :0 love the dancing !!!

[howlingatthehole]

Live twice bloody AWESome

[howlingatthehole]

I was there

[patrout]

such a classic.

[stuwatts80]

i've enjoyed TISM's stuff for 10 years now but I still don't know which member is the guy that sings and which is the one that speaks/screams/raps. My guess so far is les miserables is the guy that sings and hitler-barassi is the "rapper", but can ayone please inform me if that's correct?

[therealisation]

seeing TISM at the Collingwood Town Hall is like seeing the Beatles at the Cavern - but good

[xauroraausx]

Seriously Paul McDermott was part of old school TISM, Otherwise it was his brother.

[cobboGHS91]

@xauroraausx i reckon all 3 of the allstars were in TISM

[murderdolls13666]

lol as if they have subliminal messages *facepalm*

[Jagvillkollavald]

I heard this song actually contains subliminal messages that teach you how to build nuclear bombs using simple home appliances

[tommygunner13]

mmmm im sure im sure....

[nameian777]

@Jagvillkollavald - i've been that stoned too

[goosestab]

ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

[FrankCleocuz]

I remember Flea from Chili Peppers having a spaz attack on Triple J about this song, seems the poor cunt doesn't have a sense of humour when it involves someone he knew (or who he blew) wot-EVA. TISM rocks

[chewie0872]

@FrankCleocuz  best comment on YouTube!!!

[cobboGHS91]

@FrankCleocuz yeah and flea was an aussie, his aussie sense of humour must have faded growing up in america

[oOMACHINAOo]

@FrankCleocuz

Yes. Was funny.  TISM responded by challenging RHCP, collectively, to a fist fight. They outlined their advantage at having 7 members.

[HeadlandRoad]

@FrankCleocuz Flea should have realised that his little mate was getting an enormous boost by being put on the same level as Bon Scott and Jimi Hendrix. If it wasn't for this song, the world would probably have forgotten that RIver Phoenix ever existed.

[SuperiorLumpen]

@FrankCleocuz I remember that too. He said he wanted to bash the DJ who played it.

[JesseRay89]

@FrankCleocuz I believe the story/myth goes that he asked TISM to remove the song since River was a mate and so TISM agreed to do so if the Chilli Peppers beat them in a fist fight, it never went further.

[351AussieRob]

1 guy aint wearin pants at 0:52 ahahahah

[bugzapper91]

@351AussieRob

I didnt even see that. ha.  but hes actually got them on. they're just around his ankles

[spruland]

@351AussieRob, ha ha ha never notived that before, did you see the roadie run out to pull them back up for him? lol

[mrblisterfist]

Martha Plimpton listens to this in the shower every morning. (or so says her neighbor)

[asubjectiveopinion]

That made me spit my tea.

[yourlocalzombie81]

you'll never hear this on the radio again... thanks a lot political correctness :( but it's an awesome song that shall live forever :)

[susanoellewis]

best played really loud!

[boatm333]

epic win!!

[vars666]

bring back this dancin . oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[vcval]

1.58 tism predicted Michael jackson's over dose man this band are a head of there time

[cm2dude]

HOLY SHIT

[kezarat]

Batman

[cm2dude]

This is saying "I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix"...

Not "I'm on the drug that killed Heath Ledger"

[ridethelapras]

@vcval

I think it's incredibly ironic that TISM mention Michael Jackson in this song. Considering it's about stars who die from overdose (and not necessarily drugs). And that Jackson died very much the same way. And this was in 1995, ffs.

[BiancaAbides]

The Kingdom of Denmark approves of TISM´s epicness.

[BigJasonStud]

love tism 4 life

[BaronVonFastrand]

Well, perhaps their prediction of the demise of Mr. Michael Jackson was premature at the time of this performance. However, it has now indeed happened. It just goes to show that you don't need no Police to make a Cardiac Arrest.

[MrSupercoolio]

because it was so possible that he wouldnt die

[Nogli]

14 years on and this is still amazing. Even the title is genius. In fact too clever for its own good. It probably came about first and then they wrote a song around it!

[nrp66]

Flee from the red hot chilli peppers loves these guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nickabeta]

First its spelt Flea, second the quote from Flea on the release of this song was something like "I could kill them"

[asubjectiveopinion]

Come in number 9, you meal is ready.

[Cloudburst]

Oh man, so glad this is on YouTube again. This clip was down for a while.

This Is Serious Mum

[KEVINisROCK]

Wow, did MSI rip these guys off or what?!?

[boiledhooker]

i'd go see them

[Portilloizay]

Their best song.

[Portilloizay]

Their best song.

[cm2dude]

The musical interpretation of b.

[t4k3n4m3]

TISM ARE THE BEST LULS

[Scyrei]

Christ these guys are funny as fuck!

[mishmash72]

HAHHAHAAH - these guys are fantastic!!!! How funny!!! IM with you Boltaction

[bgbarber]

just what is wrong with people these days? It's all too alien for me.

[Drammm]

These days? This song is from almost 2 decades ago.

[Portilloizay]

Your a robot. Go listen to pussycatdolls.

[bgbarber]

@Portilloizay : Aliens are not robots but then again it is all a bit ostranenie.

[Portilloizay]

I cant even remember who i was talking to. lol

[CKSBoltaction]

This is the "Offical Clip" as far as I am concerned lol I love it
