[TheRis81]

he's from fremantle you wallies, he used to be a humble busker on the streets there... i met him in normandy he is one shy dude.... fucking good musician though

[Lazzle22]

@TheRis81 Yes, he moved there at an early age from the USA.

[Todoslosfritos]

sweet. Weak cover art though!

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

@Todoslosfritos Not his cover art...just something the op put up in the video editor. This is off the album "Three".

[MasterofChuckNorris]

@RastaMastaKonTiki If you mean the original, yes it is from Three, this version is from Living 2001-2002, the best version if you ask me.

[Lazzle22]

Born in US, moved to Australia and raised there

[Samu245]

can somebody tell me from wich album the songs Zebra and Betterman are?

[freekvdbroek]

@Samu245 Zebra is on Sunrise Over Sea and Betterman is on Three

[jdkit]

@Samu245 . there is an unbelievable live version of Betterman on the "What you Want " LP, if you can get your hands on it DO!!

[IrishRhavin]

Sounds like a cat in the background around the seven min mark haha.

Love this song

[TheMagicbrett]

all i can see is the music? hear the music, dont just listen, and you will see the music

[PwnAgETeDDy]

some of the best music known if not the best ----JOHN BUTLER TRIO <3----

[HJS1993]

6 people need to become a better man

[modman001]

jbt ftw...........

[BigairMcD]

I'm commenting from my boyfriends account 1St. then I must say what an awesome introduction this has been, from my neice (sp?) to John Butler she said this is my future husband if he wasn't married already. lol I love the music though "better than" is great

[sleep1wwb]

i love to jam to this

[IDGeneratorS]

still the gold standard of Australian music, JBT owns

[Sexybee175]

omg man you ROCK!!! you can feel your an old soul...keep spinnin'..

[bumrandom]

i dunno what you australians are talking about but this dude is the shiznit

[051262LILI]

WAOUH !!!! GRANDIOSE CE JOHN BUTLER !!!!

LA GUITARE : la meilleure drogue au monde !!!!

[nubz252]

Love it! 

[TomSince1996]

@nicollalicious hahahaha I just watched Crocodile Dundee last night and he says something about Pinjarra tribe. Do you know if they have anything in common?

[francesco67cobretti]

Pour les connards qui croient que sexion d'assault fait de la musique avec son désolé isolé

[Eschelonistic]

Aussie Pride! to not know JBT is unaustralian :P

[TheSnypzify]

I could listen to this song over and over and over again!! Its brilliant.. I love the guitar In this song and the beat!!

[TheSnypzify]

This song has a awesome beat to it!!

[yukontanya]

thats perth looking north eastish from freo!

[yumdedum]

simply fantastic musicians. jbt's are the most played songs on my pod.

[Randerion]

i hate 6 persons ^^

[Squeege85]

Just discovering this guy and his band. He's blowing my mind. Must have more.

[drakosQ]

Για το φιλαρακι μου τον Σαπιο!!! Γεια σου πανουλη!!!

[dakapayne]

Do yourself a favour and see these guys live. Amazing!

[firemangreg]

Where was this recorded at?

[wormza69]

man his early stuff is just awesome!

[Hyssar]

He sounds a lot like Incubus' singer and his playing during the solo reminds me of John Frusciente. Anyway, John Butler REALLY deserves more recognition

[IDGeneratorS]

@Hyssar dont worry he gets plenty of recognition.. the video to "ocean" by JBT got 10 mil views.. i agree he is far more talented than those who get 100mil views

[lloruu]

melhor músico que já vi ao vivo

[wonderxlick]

best guitarist i've ever heard. nice to know this generation isn't making all bad music

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@wonderxlick

What's interesting is he doesn't use standard tunings.  He uses tunings he created himself. It makes it a bitch to try and tab his stuff LOL

He's a very original musician. You don't see that much these days.

[freekvdbroek]

@FrustratedNameSearch

Open C tuning is not that unusual. It's just not used that often in pop music.

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@freekvdbroek

I'm not sure that's open C that he uses. I read an article about him once and it stated he uses modified tunings of his own creation.

[wonderxlick]

@FrustratedNameSearch haha I wouldn't know much about his tunings, since I don't play. But still, I can hear the uniqueness in his music, and I can tell he IS a very original musician. It's hard to find

[filrock82]

@FrustratedNameSearch Agree :) but yeah Open C is not that unusual

[gilbertgodlyddd]

@wonderxlick

Just this generation from America/UK.... :P

[dhani7165]

nice musc with a positive energy

[flogthedoggy]

must be the vegamite sandwiches that alters aussie tastes to consider such as this a meal

[TheParatroopr]

one of the greatest break up songs ive ever heard, and its told from a guy's point of veiw.

plus it attually has a meaning and a soul to it, unlike the mainstream bullcrap thats coming out these days

[BIANCAX82]

get in!!!!

[minnietheminx]

Nice picture, wrong city, JB is from Fremantle.

[freekvdbroek]

I use this picture for most of my videos. Not because of JB. It's actually a mix of cities

[unityofchoas]

@freekvdbroek San fran + seattle + others? im guessing?

[freekvdbroek]

@unityofchoas

[unityofchoas]

@freekvdbroek the building in the bottom right looks like miami :o

[aliberi20]

@freekvdbroek to those that havent been, pittsburgh is surprisingly beautiful, so thats great if it is. nice hybrid town creation bro. LONG LIVE JBT!

[11NACTX11]
