  • I was insulting justin boner by quoting this bill hicks bit and some stupid fuck said that bill hicks was the hack who stole the bit from dennis leary. Wtf is this world coming to?

  • @hi0u50fd yes I meant tirades. "Fuck you"? What are you so pissed about?

  • When I try to explain to people why todays music suck balls, I do not rage on them my self... I just link this video to them :).

  • @twathooks whose the bigger idiot here? Me (the guy who misspelled one uncommon word) or you (the guy who misspelled the same dude's name twice, and he didn't even have anything to do with what your bitching about)...guess your not one of the "true fans of Mr. William Hicks" oh, and your your TIRADE wasn't funny either.

  • Just to give you a reach @toreasonbuy, apparell means something you wear, and when I say William I mean bill hicks. I can't make it more clear for you, you ok with that?

  • W

    ell @toreasonby what is a tie-raid? Is that when a bunch of cute guys come round to your abode and steal your comprehensive collection of shirt apparell? Did you really mean the word Tirades? What you've got to remember is that most of the fans of Mr William Hicks know how to spell.

  • @toreasonby you missed my point. THIS ISN'T FUNNY, yes it is an extravagant rant but it isn't funny. It's just annoying. Like I said, I'm a fan of bill hick's comedy. Not his unfunny tie-raids

  • @SamLuke69 do you mean tirades? fuck you.

  • Bill Hicks knows the deal.

  • @WHOKNOWSUKNOW Still, it was a weak punchline for such an extravagant setup.

  • @SamLuke69

    It was not a punchline; the punchline was the whole minute and 35 seconds before it. That little quip at the end was a way of releasing the tension in the audience from his unusually aggressive delivery, and to comfort those in the audience, such as yourself, who were uncomfortable with the real point he's making.

  • @tpomo2 I know that but if he wanted to make that point he could have just said it. He didn't have to act like a child

  • @SamLuke69 Well he did because it sets up the punchline.

  • what the fuck is he talking about. not one of his funny moments

  • Comment removed

  • He is talking about creativity and naturalistic inquiry, versus the banality and ridiculousness of our current society.

  • @ChrisHodges22

    it isn't any different today than it was before.

  • @AliTubelog you're an idiot

  • i watched the first 20 secs and i already love this video

  • hahaha Kurt Cobain must have watched this.

  • About twenty years later, lesson learnt (by some). Some who wakes up everyday and their first thoughts for the rest of the day is: remember, there is no Gaga, Rihanna, Spears or Barry Manilow. That was just a sick nightmare, it's morning, I'm awake now.

  • Who the fuck is Lana Del Rey? If you followed another Facebook link because you don't think for yourselves, they let me introduce you to Bill Hicks. A genius who unfortunately died.

  • @king5ley

    Let me introduce you to Lana Del Rey (on my page)

  • @king5ley Thumbs Up

  • @king5ley Oh grow up - some of us had heard of Bill Hicks long ago, some hadn't. Guess what - somebody told you about him once too.

  • Thumbs up if LLAMA DEL REY brought you here

  • thumbs up if Lana del Rey brought you here!

  • @andresoyu who?

  • I love how he scares the audience

  • ....commitment to an idea makes it powerful, but ideas ultimately have to stand on their own. New ideas, or old ideas approached in a different way, are what I look for in social commentary. I'll live with heresy that he doesn't do either.

  • @soangry: I respect your opinion, which is pretty universally shared ( although I bet truth serum might produce a different ratio). But I disagree. I do agree he wasn't a comedian, mainly because he wasn't funny. And while I appreciate your explaining what he was saying, I got it the first time. He's not hard to figure out. My observation was that he wasn't saying anything original or insightful or deep. I do think the "angry" persona can fool people into thinking that his personal commi

  • Jesus, his delivery is so raw. He just stabs right into the audience's chest.

  • I know we're all supposed to worship Hicks, but this clip illustrates why that's silly. There's nothing particularly insightful (or even very funny) here.  Yelling does not turn obvious and unfunny into passionate genius. No need to drink the Flavor-Aid (the real mixer at Jonestown, btw, not Kool-Aid).

  • @mulgrum Bill Hicks wasn't really a comedian, he was a social commentator. The guttural noises were in reference to an earlier part about corporate america sucking satans cock. In this clip he discusses how he doesn't want his children to listen to a corporate made band who's music is a bland simplistic formula made by focus groups. He wants them to listen to artists who had talent and emotions they poured into their works, many of whom were also really drugged out.

  • send in Justin Beiber on your way out............

  • I've got goosebumps everytime I see this... he was an underrated genius.

  • You want music that Bill's talking about. Listen to Ceremony's Rohnert Park LP on black 12" vinyl and resist the urge to drive your face in to a fucking meat grinder

  • Good, this finally broke a million views after 5 years of being posted.

    It deserves at least one hundred times that amount, but it's something.

  • Last line makes the whole thing.

  • The best 1.37 minutes of my life

  • HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, BILL!!! We need your voice now more than ever.

  • 201 dislikes....201 sheeple who are brainwashed dupes. Happy 50th Birthday for tomorrow Bill...you will always be a legend to me!!!!

  • Happy Birthday Bill... You are still the best...

  • i'm a singer and i'm listening, Bill. Happy fuckin birthday. Mad Love!

  • happy birthday bill

  • First time seeing this, good thing I switched on headphones before playing this... it's 3 in the morning and my parent are sleeping in the room next to mine

  • I like bill hicks, but this ain't funny.

  • @SamLuke69 It wasn't supposed to be funny. Just because he was a stand up doesn't mean he always has to be funny. He was saying what he felt. He was being cynical of all the media puppets....and having respect for the great musicians that suffered from addictions, they played from their heart.

  • that wasnt funny at all. it was rather annoying

  • @THEFLYINGREDNECK Cry me a river.

  • I look forward to the day when Justin Bieber finally does heroin: because he will make the best album of the entire decade. But as a consequence, he will end up being the youngest star to ever appear on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

  • It's always been true. Lots of talented acts out there deserve way more coverage, but they're out-marketed by manufactured plastic pop sensations.

  • FUCK THAT I WANT MY ROCKSTARS DEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAD!

  • When/if i have kids, I'm showing them this. Then making them listening to likes of Jimi Hendrix.

  • Kurt Cobain took this video too seriously

  • @94Cioppa A lot of Rock stars such as Phil Lynott, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix, jim Morrison, Tommy Bolin had well documented drug problems but they also had TALENT, Cobain was a scruffy nonenity, end of story.

  • @94Cioppa My sides...

  • I didn't think this was very funny. Didn't even make me crack a smile. I guess I get to be one of the tiny minority making up the red bar. I just sat there watching the whole video waiting for it to be funny. Then I clicked replay to see if I missed anything. No, it just sucked. Some guy yelling mediocre-at-best jokes. Sorry youtube, I feel like I let you down.

  • @paintblock I think a lot of people who feel or think that he is funny, think alike with him. If you don't share the view or believes of a comedian, it gets harder and harder to laugh with/at them.

  • @paintblock

    Don't worry, there are dick jokes abound in Youtube.

  • @paintblock It really wasn't the point during the whole time to make you laugh. The only thing that was actually a punchline was near the very end, it was more important listening to his message than trying to find a joke out of it.

  • @ChuckMcChip Sorry, that's not why I watch stand-up.

  • @paintblock Well if you're looking for shallow comedians, Dane Cook is just a youtube search away.

  • @paintblock That particular part was meant to be more passionate and truthful than actually funny. You missed the point.

  • @FuckYourGodYourLord Pardon me, I was under the impression that I was watching a comedian.

  • @paintblock You were. The punchline is the end when he says "I also do children's parties" Next time you don't know when you're supposed to laugh, please don't ask us to explain it for you. Go listen to Denis Leary or something.

  • @paintblock Oh nevermind, you like Pugs that howl to the Batman theme song. So it's no wonder you don't think Hicks is funny. Have you seen any of his other skits?

  • @paintblock people have different tastes in Comedy, everyone knows that..... but he wasn't trying to be funny *besides the ending*. He was making a point. Sorry that he didn't tell Dick jokes and Mom jokes for 2 minutes for u. but like everyone has been saying. there are comedians like that. so have fun :D

  • Take it down a few Bill, you lead to questions. Can't have that.

  • I'm in love with a dead guy. :"(

  • @FuckYourGodYourLord first let me say. your not alone, i am too lol. and your name is interesting, did you get that from the song "Judith" from A Perfect Circle? just curious.

  • @jrptrapt116 Yes it's from Judith, but not many people realize that. The Christians love my username. lol

  • @FuckYourGodYourLord i bet lol. and i love A Perfect Circle and when i saw your name i just had to ask lol

  • FUCK THAT! I WANT MY ROCKSTARS DEAD!!!

  • @88Anesthetize the scariest thing is that I read this at the EXACT point he said it, and read it along with him saying it.

  • Cheers tomservo.......one of my faves........RIP Bill... total legend!

  • RIP those with headphones.

  • Hey guys, I cried for a while after I watched "American"--you gotta watch that shit. Guy is unbelievable.

  • I want my children to listen to people who fuckin ROCKED!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheBobbyM93 i was cracking up...

  • @TheBobbyM93 The point of it is not to be funny, he is totally serious here, and his anger really shines through, and he is right about this shit.

  • hhahahahhahaahahhahaha. hahahah. hahahahahahahaahha

  • This is the first thing I've ever seen of this Bill Hicks guy.

    That was awesome.

  • Prophet.

    (he was available for children's parties too)

  • old man making dick jokes

  • HE IS INSANE

    I LOVE HIM

  • bill hicks is a political truther first. and a comedian second. but hes good at both

    

  • HEIL HEIL HEIL HEIL!

  • holy shit he's crazy

  • Every thrue musician should listen carefully to this words. Thank you infinitely bill! You are the fucking best!

  • man hes right, tough, do you want your kids to be banal and mediocre?

  • @w0rdisbond Well... just like Bill didn't, I don't want kids. However, if I had some, I'd be damned to want them to be banal and mediocre. If I tried to give my kids any good ideas, my girl friend would ruin em anyhow lol.

  • Such a shame he is no longer with us. Would love to have seen his reaction to Simon Cowell, Joe McElderry, Cheryl Cole, David Cameron, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, Olly Murs and all the rest of the current bumper crop of rampaging demons we are beset by. 

  • @KernowBenjamin Don't forget Justin Bieber and Nickelback, two giant hubs of mediocrity

  • @KernowBenjamin His head would've exploded. He's pretty lucky he went when he did.

    R.I.P. Bill.

  • I wonder if he ever got the children's parties gig...

  • I take it he wants people to play from their hearts...I'm not sure though...probably...;)

  • HAHAHA I love this so much

  • clean cut disney pop is fascism

  • it may sound dumb, but it almost brings me to tears when he screams "play from your fucking heart". that honky meant it. RIP

  • Bill Hicks was murdered by the shadow government.

  • i think this may be alex jones

  • @Rebel4evermore

    The only conspiracy here, is the one to make you cool.

  • This has to be one of Bill's best bits. People are kinda silent when he starts doing that nazi march, it's like the don't know if the should laugh or not. In my opinion, Bill gets really carried away here and you can feel his indignation. For me it's typical Bill, he lets you in on some really serious shit which is ruining and fuckin' our world, gets you thinking, and then throws a joke so you laugh, but right there, he delivered his social awareness quota, a true Dark Poet!

  • @JuditasDude You sir, nailed it...

  • @ChrisHodges22 thanks for that! Bill is such an inspirational guy, he's great!

  • hahahaha man so wise, so funny.

  • @Don'tshakeitup I will be, but just using them for a sample at the start of a grind track ;)

  • the vest

  • Someone needs to take the screaming clips from this and remix them into a song called "Play From Your Fucking Heart"

  • I hope ur taking notes Bieber

  • Tool introduced me to this great man. I now own all of his DVD's and CD's.

  • @Rammstein1234299 same here, except for the owning material part, Here in Argentina it's impossible to get a hold of those kind of things. sad!

  • K so the whole vid I didn't laugh and was like "this dudes just fucking insane, and not funny at all" then the last line, I couldnt stop laughing.. :)

  • @papercutonmybrain exactly, that was his way of delivering comedy, he wouldn't just throw you the joke like that, he would get you thinking first and into a very serious mood, only to tear that up the next second with a funny line. For me, he's the best!

  • Thank you Bill...just fucking thanks.

  • Fuck you God for taking him so soon.

  • The great thing about this fucking awesome comedy rant is that it transcends the topic of music.

    "PLAY FROM YOUR FUCKING HEART!" can be applied to anything and any situtation in life.

  • I WANT MY ROCKSTARS DEAD!!!!!

  • dis guy wud love 50cents n snoopdog n lil wayne, those guys r sooooooo cool n brilliant singers n they play from da heart, rap n hip hop is da new rock m rool. RaSpex.

  • @imdacoolestguy Really? 50 cent, Snoop, and Weezy? Out of all the much better rappers out there that put their souls to the ink like Tupac, Biggy, Eminem, Nas, Immortal Technique that's the cavalcade of mediocrity you'd show Bill Hicks if he was still alive? All that's left for me to say to you is... Expose your self to some more hip hop dude. I'd suggest lookin' up " Hail Mary ", and some " Still Don't give a Fuck " to get u started.

  • @knifewound5 I'll stick wit cool sexy music wit hot bitches goin down on each other like some of 50cents n snoop dogs cool nasty videos, u stick wit ur gay 'message' music nobodys fuckin heard of or cares abt. RaSpex.

  • @imdacoolestguy You do know Tupac, and Eminem have 3 diamond records right between the both of them right? That pretty much fuckin' puts'em at Elvis in terms of music people have fuckin' heard of, and cares about. Btw, explain to me how "bitches goin down on each other" brilliant?

  • @knifewound5 no pint xplaining dude, if u dont understand why bitches goin down on each other is cool or why hot sluts like gaga r rihanna r brilliant dan u must b gay r sumtin. RaSpex.

  • @imdacoolestguy So apparently having talent isn't necessary for an artist to be brilliant? You're not a fucking dumbass are you?

  • this tirade is fucking epic! If you hit "dislike" then you suck Satan's cock and deserve to get shot along with your family. There is no excuse for it!

  • SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO HIM PLAY! lmao

  • If the roll of the comedian was to simply make us laugh they could easily do this by joining the circus as clowns. The comedian is someone who thinks differently about long standing notions and holds a sacred mirror up to our faces showing us how we play an absurd roll in longstanding social dogmas that don't really serve us and in so doing the brain hiccup with self realization... and the involuntary response of the body is laughter.

  • @MedullaPancreas then theres a lot of sub-standard comedians who need to become sideshows this instant

  • Comment removed

  • FUCK that! I WANT MY ROCKSTARS DEEEAAAAAAAD

  • Amy played from her fucking heart.

  • How does this have dislikes?? Seriously, that's not right.. Don't hit like on this. I'm just making a point.

  • #OMG

  • Bill Hicks was Bill Hicks. He stands alone as himself in history and he left way too soon. RIP.

  • Amy sure did.

  • . #OMG #LOL

  • this is really authentic. The only thing that bothers me is that he incinuates that being authentic means putting guns to your head and being negative.

    Which may be true a lot of the times but not always..

  • I wrote this on my fucking guitar: PLAY FROM YOUR FUCKING HEART

  • Bill said this straight from his fucking heart

  • I was quite disappointed that in the recent 'American' doc this clip is played, but they REMOVED the segment when he's saying, "a good, clean country, Sieg Heil Sieg Heil!"

    A cowardly edit that Bill wouldn't have tolerated.

  • @TheeUnidentified

    Exactly. They completely missed the point Bill was making with that.

  • made my thinking so fucking much better - thx Bill

  • oooooooohhh motherfucker!!!! yessirr!

  • What makes this line for me is the microphone overloading with sound.

  • Legend. 

  • I WANT MY ROCK STARS DEAD!

    I miss people like Bill. He spoke the truth with every word.

  • Hi, just terrific. I would like to inquire about hiring you for my child's party. Who do I contact? Thanks!

  • I really wonder why there are such few ppl like Hicks that value authenticity and talent above popularity and mediocrity...how ppl feel comfortable in a shitstorm of cold, heartless bullshit I'll never know...blows my mind

  • Bill hicks, the Dark Artisan in all of us.

  • I can only imagine what he'd say if he were here to see Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers.

  • I dunno but I could just imagine that anal discharge Bieber whining on twitter: @Bieber mean Bill Hicks says me music not gud and not played from the heart, that not kewl yo, I m jus a kid an even i no it not good to spread gossip bout others and i rly rly want to be gud role model for da little girls dat luk up 2 me and pay for my shows home dog ya know homie home- FUCKING DIE!!!!!! *BOOM*

  • @breeeegs I could imagine it. FUCK BIEBER, BILL HICKS FOR LIFE! The genius he was!

  • Much love for Bill Hicks, always 

  • Dude this guy would fuckin stabb the fuck out of Rebecca Black XD

  • My thoughts exactly! If cancer hadn't killed him, he probably would have blown his brains out if he lived to see today's music. R.I.P. Bill, we miss you and we still love you.

  • like you couldnt have gotten the whole records played backwards bit in there ya fuckin genius...

  • Its the job of comedians to make people laugh. However the greatest comedy is like great rock n roll. You have a good time, it can take you somewhere wild. But it also makes you think and question things. Comedy is the enemy of hypocrisy. Ironically, given the conservative critics, there is often a real morality in controversial comedy.

  • Australian politicans govern from your fucking heart.

  • "We are so good and clean , and we are a good image for your children, fuck that!, when the mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children "  ( "Disney rockstars" , Justin Bieber and rebecca black)

  • @fucksalt97 GOD DAMN YOU ARE FUCKING RIGHT MAN. Disney music ( Jonas brother , Demi lobato , selena gomez) , Justin bieber or rebecca black are similar, all this kids with no talent, that think that they are rockstars, are an obvious example of what Bill said in this part of the "Relentless".

  • Bill Hicks attended to over 181 childrens parties

  • @dcel8 Jimi Hendrix drawing portaits, nazi symbols lit on fire, babies smoking cigarettes, broken televisions, and LSD would be Bill Hicks at a childrens party......how can any child be upset?

  • Man he is great. Forever great.

  • I WANT MY ROCK STARS DEAD!!!

  • Mind blowing.
