the automatic wreck entertainment today - full video

[WillEvansMedia]

@wilkoskates

Why so agressive. I express an opinion (which, by the way, i dont care if others dont agree with. I know people like what they did, i dont go round calling them names) and you get all defensive. Sure I made a typo, but to be fair you're commenting on something that was posted months ago. Let it lie. Crikey.

[wilkoskates]

When Pennie is just running around with his jeans at his ankles, LOL.

[Jusanothersomeone]

i bet the parents waiting for trisha/jeremy kyle to start didn't like that gmtv, haha. too many e-numbers! haha, more like alcohol. as if they tried making it look less worse.

[mychematthedisco]

To alcohol!! :D

awesome! lol love Pennie!

[NullJaeger]

omgser such legrnds!! they r drunk and smashed up their set!!! POSSIBLY THE MOST ORIGINAL THING IVE EVER SEEN A BAND DO

[AngusHayward]

@NullJaeger Try Nirvana on top of the pops, pretty much exact same thing just 15 years beforehand. It's still great but not original

[eleanors037]

haha i love how the presenters at the end really try and put a positive spin on it, like they've not got drunk and trashed their set :D

love the automatic

[bitemysandwich]

WHEYYYYY :)

GO GUYS

ahh what legends

[eilo18]

AHAHAHAHA!

[WillEvansMedia]

Jesus Christ, cant youtube post comments where I put them properly. Admins, sort it out would ya :/

[mattcattt]

yeah before watching this take into account the fact they were made to lip synch and the insane ammount of alcohol theyd had the night before and see how freekin hilarious this is. If they been sober, theyd be just yet another bunch of pricks smashing there stuff to be cool.

[Hawkmiles13]

They only smashed the set up because GMTV wouldn't let them play live which pissed them off...some babnd don't like miming to songs they can perform live.

[williameatloxton]

FUCK UP WITH THE COMMENTS,,, THIS IS KINDA GAY BUT IF YOU HAD A BAD, YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

you guys commenting on this arent on tv are ya? so suck my hairy nut sack bitchez!!!

[runnerman56]

duuuude this is freaking awesome. i love it when bands go onto morning shows wasted and/or high. everybody who says that this makes them a horrid band is just jealous that they can't have the chance to go on tv AND screw it up.

[pattenbruv]

WANKERS

[semifiction1]

this video sickens me, they make the whole i dea of putting on a good performance as band seem like a fucking a joke, im all for getting into it and thrashing about abit but at 9 in the morning on breakfast television..?

the automatic are an absolute waste of time and airwaves.

fucking wankers

[philippa09]

they were doing this because GMTV told them that they had to mime.

They are fucking legends!

[thedogspollocks]

Well i guess when your music doesnt rebel, smashing up your instruments gives you the illusion you're rebelling.

at 9am.

on GMTV.

Horrid, horrid band!

[WillEvansMedia]

LOL! yeah. Just the thought that anyone could even associate the word "rebels" with the automatic makes my guts lurch. Put it this way, IF your first album wasnt on sale for 99p in some retail outlets (brand new) then maybe people would take you seriously ha!

Heh, dont know why they trashed their stuff though... their reputation doesnt allow them to do it... mainly cause they dont have one. And 9pm in the morning? yeah... thats rock and roll... idiots man, idiots lol.

[EmoTunesRule]

OMFG!! they must av been really REALLY drunk...

god lol

[mquinn00]

That was fucking awesome!!!!!!

[belindaopoku16]

I love how the drummer just continues drumming

[VrSword]

He's trying to make the best out of a bad situation lol, his face at 2:47 made me laugh.

[bloopdeoop]

ALLOW PAUL

[hamtamnam]

ahahahaha pennie

[prelan]

too many e numbers hahahaha brilliant. he was blatently fucked on pills

[domoz69]

If he was on pills, they'd just be hugging each other in awe :D they wouldn't wanna smash anything :D

[TinkerbellRocks08]

Thats what you get for tryuin to mske the automatic lip-sync =]

[southstar66]

lol wt legends

[mcboing2345]

Party Hard boys , party hard.

[stefmeister121]

hahah GREAT!

[Gemma078]

ahaha i miss pennie too =[

in the middle of it he's just like hmm think i'll take my trousers off.

i dont think gmtv let any bands perform live, kinda sucks.

[bluebirdrich2k4]

I miss Pennie, but Paul is so more amazing

They have come on leaps and bounds since this video, chekc them out live

You wont be disapointed

[hellomynameisjessica]

ahahahahaha i love this so much.

i miss pennie.

[ragegod1]

lol that budgie loves his automatic

you should film the bugie and put it on youtube

[ArdelSchwartzenguy]

I love Rob's feeble attempt to pretend they're still playing.

[2n2equals5]

See, this all proves my argument that The Automatic are actually a good punk band.... most bands would just sit back and accept the fact they have to mime, but proper bands with a good punk attitude such as Nirvana took the piss out of that system and escaped with their integrity, and now so The Automatic joined this group

[bangthedoldrums93]

i love how everyone else stops and the drummer just carries on:P

x

[eltrainthe3rd]

'Ha ha, That was absolutely brilliant'

XD

[degaulle30]

Why are they miming in a very live setting? It just looks more crap than it should.

[JimBobTheFrog]

its hard to ignore the budgie when its basically singing it...

[morethantwo]

I am very sorry, i forgot about the little bastard. I will eat it for breakfast...or something.

[imnotmissemo]

that was so funny. thats getting back whoever made them mime. love the drummers face when theyve just started trashing it as well. and ben and whatsherface saying "thankyou that was lovely at the end..!

lol

[Jett0rz]

I love watching bands do stuff like this when they're forced to mime. This one's up there with Muse doing New Born on live and kicking :D

[jamescooling]

well, that was impressive wasnt it! watching this along with buying the album is 2 of the stupidist things ive ever done

[WillEvansMedia]

Dude, I dont care about the negative feedback... I agree.

[addamxox]

woooow very rebelious, new single out now at asda!

[WillEvansMedia]

LOL!

[earonc]

what a laugh some guys

stupid bastards making them mime.

i cant believe he dropped his pance though.go on pennie.and frost getting caught ion the wire.and rob just there like ahh.

not written by earonc but his friend jim

[missy13000]

i was there so cool<33

[iamalienru2]

yeah they did it cos they had to mime it all so they deliberatly made it obvious they werent playing it lol

[asabovesobellow]

I think they trashed the set because they were made to mime...

[redhotchiliesfan123]

lmmfao, dick'eds ... where do i start with how wrong this is. did the guys all sit down and say ''right ...the best time we can make a really big impression on people at a performance would be ...I KNOW! Entertainment Today on ITV'' ... dick'eds

[animepeople01]

No fighting.

But I say they're great :]

[ArcticMonkeysFan15]

doesn't matter if you're not a fan of the music...it's still hilarious! hahahahaha idiots :)

[ShootoutStarstruck]

Brilliant

[hoggwan3000]

they are shit, i want them to die. now

[CaptainZakkum]

What's the budgie's name?

[peanutme]

my god this band piss me off that boy who just screeches and smaks a keyboard is the worst. like ffs miming aswell!!! that just makes them worse!

grrrr

[WillEvansMedia]

I don't know why this comment got negative feedback, the guy is just giving his opinion lol. Oh dear you tube, oh dear.

[tomato9pump]

These guys kick ass live. =D

Personally, I find this funny.

[hellomynameisjessica]

and yeah that was an almost exact quote of what my friend said,

i didnt realise she had posted one aswell, lol sorry.

[hellomynameisjessica]

it wasnt live because they were made to mime,

and the kit was rented,

and they just generally didnt want to be there.

i personally think its funny,

and if you actually went to see them live, you would see that they put on a really good live show, and can actually play live.

[LPancakes]

cringe. twats.

[EmoCareBearsRock]

haah i remember this on gmtv, they r a awesome band!

[Mase666]

Lame.

Trying to act like rockstars.

At least play it live THEN do it.

EPIC FAIL

[bluebirdrich2k4]

For your information, they took the piss out of GMTV, because they were tricked into doing it, and Frost was still drunk! and pennies, well Pennie

I love the Automatic

[Mase666]

i repeat

EPIC FAIL

[UntutoredYouth]

Shush. You have no taste. Theyre good and so is this.

[Mase666]

What i have no taste just because i dont really enjoy the automatics music? Your view on other peoples taste in music is very skeptical, everyone has their own taste in music. Not everyone listens to the same bands everyone else listens to, it is called the uses and gratifications theory. Also, you may like the automatic but i do not see you as having no musical taste do I?

[UntutoredYouth]

Lol. Calm down. Calm down.

[acertainromancexx]

i know it's been said before,

but the automatic truly are legends.

[ohdear89]

legends.

<3 pennie.

[reelbigfish1234]

They could have at least played live!!!

[MissRaoul]

conciderin they were tricked in2 miming and they wrecked the set coz they WANTED 2 play live!!!

I love pennie <333

[kayne134]

'Oh please let us smash out set up. We do want to fit in' And the thing is, the music kept playing! As if! The bassest didn't have a clue.

[deathbykillerfairies]

ha they r briliant

[gunnazrmylife]

If ur gonna record something of ypur tv at least make your budgie be quiet

[JaQCesar]

awesome

[DLBI2TS]

the who started the 'smash ya instruments up' rock revolution! i really despise this band tho, the only reason i came across this video is cos av been told about it n i wanted 2 watch it! so all ya gimps hu say "if ya dont like the band y r ya watchin the video"....weve all got reasons n wer all entitled 2 r oppinion! bet ya theres many bands i idolise hu u's dont like!

[mrfr0d0]

'opinion' has one 'p'

it is spelt 'who', 'why', 'and', 'are' & 'you',

there is an apostrophe between we & ve in the word 'we've' and 'we' & 're' in the word 'we're'

'2' and 'to' do not have the same meaning and

when on it's one 'I' is a capital.

.:mr.frodo:.

[DLBI2TS]

ur a fool mate, i was tryin 2 get a point across n ya jus sound like a child!! explain 2 me y ya had the need 2 correct me like that n dont say cos its proper english! r ya just an automatic fan n ya stickin up 4 them??

[mrfr0d0]

I will admit that I am indeed a fan of The Automatic. I was not complaining about what you were saying just how you spelt it. It is proper English, "fool". If you had read what I said at all, you would have noticed there was nothing about your little rant on the Automatic. I'm the one that sounds like a child? The internet is not an excuse for incorrect spelling. .:mr.frodo:.

[littledarlingmarshka]

They're all sweet guys :).

[yourcodenameisLoz]

yeh ! av some of dat daytime T.V

[holif3]

mwuaahahahahahha i've met pennie, rob and iwan.

Iwan's the best! sooo cute :D

x

[samoataz]

They can immitate Nirvana all the want, they suck as a band.Fuckin fake indie shit. Your children will be ashamed of you for buying these records people.

[Bobmcd0]

a) how did you find this video if you hate it b) why did you watch it? and c) nirvana werent the first band to smash they're iunstruments... im not even a big automatic fan, but this is amusing. your a dick :)

[comawhite015]

I want to be pinned down by Pennie, dammit.

[cn862004]

Shit band, that song has been over played. Making them selfs look like the twats they are, thats what i like to see.

[SexieEstie]

! Brilliance! Good on them, they dont wanna mime they shldnt have to, its good thts it all back to live music... i remember in the 90s no one sang live now the talent is rebelling! woot! and cool budgie lol seemed to love the automatic

[PunkInPunctured]

Lmao, this is quality! Iwan's face when everything started going mad was priceless!

[irishraspberry]

I loved Iwan's face when Frost started going crazy. Priceless! That budgie rocked, smurf yeah!

[crazysteve1986]

if the band dont want to mime, dont make them!

[jrtrobotdance]

lol they're so weird.

[monksmi]

I remember watchin it feckin awsome..love how they carry on without instruments, green shorts is the best hehe! afta this loadsa ppl came to buy the single

[corrs713207]

omg, i watched this on TV, i actually pissed my slef laughing, i left the couch wet when it finished man most hilarious performance i hve ever seen. yeeah the quality was shit and the bird was pretty god damn annoying but hey i enjoyed it thank a lot dude :D

[palski]

HAHA love it, reading in a magazine they stayed up all night drinking before this "performance" they presenters didnt know what to do lol

[divad101]

lol gmtv wuddnt let them play live, becasue there was too much sound checkin to be done and shit, automatic were pissed off so decided to reck tah place, however i think them bein wrecked may av played a bigger part in that

[littlelordfaulteroy]

nah they did that cliché well.. they were just taking the piss so much all the way through.. I love Rob's face when he's just stood there 'singing' in the middle, and the fact that Iwan seems to take no notice whatsoever lol xD

[wisteela]

Awesome! Great band, and great song. I heard about this tonight on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and did a search on here for it. Love the green shorts. :-)

[wisteela]

Awesome! Great band, and great song. I heard about this tonight on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and did a search on here for it. Love the green shorts. :-)

[rhesusnegative]

Real rock bands aren't awake at 9am.

[MJMilz14]

They were still up from the night before though ;-)

[aleenaglentis]

tou-fucking-ché!

[crazysteve1986]

they are if theyre still up!

[HaveIBecomeARecluse]

2 mins 55 = the best.

more than one good song? try 20 odd good songs.

[mophead94]

they are shit and theyre trying so hard to b rock n roll, theyre just another flavour of the month. if u wanna see people smash stuff up, the who did, and they had more than one good song as well

[pitdweller12345]

Haha! - Amazing stuff!

[shazkelleher]

i mean its shit quality and the bloody bird

apart from that it was amazing pennie was insane

bless him i love him loads and loads

and frost is really adorable when hes just like crashed out in iwans drums

yummy

thanks for posting

xxx

[xXFendersquirealexXx]

LOL!

I remember reading somewhere that pennie was getting sued by a camera man because one of the amps landed on his arm or something shitty like that...

And pennie's acting like that because he aint slept in 48 hours and has spent all that time drinking.

They're such a great band!

[14alonso14]

That's brilliant. It's gay that they didn't sing live.

[MalkyMac]

it gets better everytime i watch it!

THEY ARE LEGENDS!

YOU ARE A LEGEND 4 RECORDIN IT!

[MalkyMac]

ROFL

[net16]

That was awesome it just shows they dont like lip syncin, lol I think it was right what they did by trashing the place

Awesome stuff!!!

[SarahUK]

Classic! I love that, they just looked like... us lip sync, piss off! Great, they should have just let them play live cos they are awsome! Thanks for posting.

[jimbob150555]

I think it was ok - but obviously this was a publicity stunt - nothing amazing happened - yet in the paper, The Automatic Trash GMTV, no they just smashed a few guitars - just when most people would be at work (past 9am). So no-one would actually see it just read about it ! Hate Ben Shepherd though - do i wish they had smashed him

[soufflegirl]

I need to watch that after reading about the man snog in NME. Stupid budgie though.

But omg the man snog was so hott.

I love Pennie <3

Was well funneh. And Frost pretending to sing Pennie's parts lol.

[MizzBox]

You just have to love them....absolutly brilliant!!!!

Who cares they were suppose to be lip-syncing, it was still amazing!!!

[ImInTheBasement]

Hahaha ive never seen that before...

They are pretty funny, but i bet there are some people who are like "well they didnt even sing live, they smashed up their instruments..."

THATS THE WHOLE POINT!

Lol

Whey, I'm off to see the autmatic tonight, and there will be NO MIMING lol

[stehoole]

I want in on the kissing

[Bakachisato]

LMAO your bird!

Ah, I love Pennie in his polka dot underwear.

[westie77]

LEDGENDARY. end of.

[ollyarcadia]

kissing frosts ear. was he unconcious?

[dorkyash]

LOL... that was so terrible to watch. I feel sorry for the guys. Not only did they lip sync but they made such a crap job of doing so. Also, destroying instruments ie) guitar is so cliche now. Worst performance ever.

[ceridwen16]

I think it was more of a, GMTV wanted them to lip sync and they thought, 'well, you know what? fuck it.' Pennie also said that him and Frost had been drinking beforehand.

And lilminx75, in NME Pennie said he remembered being on the floor with no trousers and kissing Frost ^_^

[Kayl3igh]

Whats up with the birds?!

[tomcoa]

HAHA. love it. specially when Rob is singing with no microphone.. legend. x

[hannahshotonedown]

i love how they've gotton rid of the microphone and then rob comes into the middle and is like YEH FUCK YOU.

[lilminx75]

great video. great band. did pennie eat frost's ear at the end...?

[whiteathart]

Apparently the guy didn't stop at taking off his trousers either. The floor manager at GMTV was apparently in tears!!! :-)

[telophaser]

pls feed your birds before filming the tv.

[xxJMxx]

Wow!!!!!

My favourite bit is the way that Rob is sort of watching Pennie and Frost for a bit and then turns around and remembers he's still on live TV and grins sheepishly and attempts to mime along some more.....

Heehee :D

Long live The Automatic!!

p.s. do you have some kind of pet bird?
