Rock 'n Roll Nerd Tim Minchin

[smileyfaceyou]

this is best 6:15 of my life

[eatmyrainbowfarts]

Correction: The DVD is called "So Live"

how do I know this? I own it

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@eatmyrainbowfarts Thats the Australian one. This one is called So F**king Rock, it is the British version. How do I know this? I own it.

[eatmyrainbowfarts]

@CharlotteAndRachael oh okay, i had just assumed because this was the only version of the song I could find with the same lighting effects ect, but now i listen the words are different to the australian one so yeah sorry my bad:P

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@eatmyrainbowfarts No harm done

[WeAllLoveHomeVideos]

Dear 13 year-old me. Why did you spend money on Jonas Brothers CD's instead of Tim Minchin stuff ? -_-

[AiylaLive]

this is guy is so f*cking cool...

[hejcultura]

sådan har jonatan spang det indeni hver dag

[bowen971]

3:33 - 4:15

Single best 45 seconds of music EVER

[SuperBensonj]

@bowen971 SO TRUE

[1996LiamC]

@bowen971 0:00 - 6:15 *

[ItsSoStevie]

Thanks for uploading, awesome.

[Sozzie16MJ]

Is it only me who fucking loves his eyes? :3

Also, Tim, you are god with a piano :3 I WANT TO SE YOU LIVE :D

[bowen971]

Tim Minchin You Ledge.. Thumbs Up If You Think That He is A Legend In His Own "Genre"

[SamuraiAwesome]

I loved this song until I had to analyse it for English. Now i just think it's really ironic

[ric41091]

@SamuraiAwesome You analysed tim minchin for english!?!?! what school!?!??

[SamuraiAwesome]

@ric41091 It was like a HSC related text for the humour module. I thought i'd have fun with it and went with Tim Minchin,. Epic payoff was epic

[wazzamon]

umm, is he not wearing shoes?

[charliesmakinme]

@wazzamon lol no... he never does... its because of nerves with one his early gigs, so he decided that he would wear no shoes so he could feel like the audience was in his lounge. Kinda like imagining the audience is naked.... but he strips himself instead lol ... now its habit.....

he talks about it in his interview with Johnathan Ross if you're interested.

[wazzamon]

@charliesmakinme

ah, thanks. iv'e never known :3

[KingPecan]

@wazzamon That's his style. For one song he wore one boot... once...

[Ashwykes]

if rachael is reading this..... you smell :)

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@Ashwykes Uh....Thanks

50 seconds - The Crying Man?

[jackjack123456789012]

been on replay for about 3 week now this, it just doesn't get boring!

[CharlotteAndRachael]

I am aware of that Tim is an atheist, i have been to see him several times, it is something we have in common... That was what is usually known as a joke...

[illfindoutful]

@CharlotteAndRachael Oh, did we offend you with our more or less ironical corrections of your more or less successful atempt to make a joke ? ;)

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@illfindoutful I can't really remember why it annoyed me tbh, i think i was probably just in a bad mood when i saw it

[JH4570]

@CharlotteAndRachael Awesome point!!!!!!!!

[kieranGH]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: Chuck norris with a piano

[SuperPokemon360]

He's the Aussie Bill Bailey.Absolute Legend!!!!

[jvelcic]

Watched this about 100 times in a row! he's a genius

[EncycloTube]

This version isn't really that great compared to the one on the Australian TV show where there are big black women with gospel vocals and an orchestra...

[amygarf13]

Tim, you are an amazing piano player and singer. This is prolly my favorite out of all of your shows. I really wish you would come to Waco Texas in the U.S.... I showed all of my friends your ework and they love you just as I do

[VampieKittyKat]

As my ex james always says, he is fucking awesome

[breathlessloveless]

I want to both be him and do him.

[JamieCantGame]

harsh audience

[EDDYB31]

1.10 sexiest man alive.

[aaronrushton1]

tough crowd didnt you think?

[zcrad22]

@aaronrushton1 I don't think the audience had a mic on them, during his stand up they're a bit more giggly. Plus this was before he was particularly big. But I do agree, I'd be crying with laughter

[gazlsos]

@aaronrushton1 I'd be speechless too, with his awesomeness!

[NagamasaTheAzai]

Absoloutely Bloody AMAZING Live!!!

[NagamasaTheAzai]

Absoloutely Bloodu AMAZING Live!!!!

[zcrad22]

The only good/effective/tasteful use of any green coloured gel in theatre I've seen aside from Wicked. And even that's a bit obvious... obviously. Especially since I work at that theatre, green normally doesn't look good.

Oh, and FUCKING AWESOME SONG

[Thorne42]

Three people don't look good with their t-shirt off.

[ilovemusic65]

[aarmusicFTW]

[DIGIxPUNKx1996]

11 years in a private school? Radiohead...?

[iIsSquirrel]

Tim Minchin is so fucking awesome and talented e.O

[SupermewX300]

This sounds like me. Quite a lot like me. And If I turn out to be an awesome comedian who plays funny songs and doesn't wear shoes I will be very happy with my life.

[ryanward65]

tim minchin is a LEGAND !!!!!

[mattgoulty]

@ryanward65 ... i believe you mean LEGEND....

[Blakecbr900]

11 years in a MOTHERFUCKIN private school haha pure legend

[sugarspunsisterFAC51]

The best version of R'nR Nerd - Inspired. Minchin is a comedy genius.

[superdooperlilo]

jokes guy , haha he doesnt wear shoes haha

[bresciano14]

For the record Tim, you are right up there with Bono and Bowie...

[ricochetfuzzy]

@bresciano14 well bowie, not bono

[ringosis]

@ricochetfuzzy

Yes, you definitely have to go down to get to Bono's level.

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@ringosis lol, i agree. bowie and tim have thier own level so far up that most people cant see it

[ringosis]

@CharlotteAndRachael

I wasn't comparing Bono to anyone specific. I just meant in general, from any point, it's always down to Bono's level.

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@ringosis i can't say that i disagree

[dodgeydoer1234]

0 Dislikes...

:D

[HodgsonWESTHAM]

i like how he blasts out some stairway to heaven at the end. ROCK N' ROLL.

[ricochetfuzzy]

@HodgsonWESTHAM the chord arrangements for the song are based on stairway to heaven all the way through if you notice

[xxSophieee]

fucking love tim minchin.

[maryjoysanderson]

wooaahh, his eyes are sooooo blue.

[MrGodders111]

@maryjoysanderson

he wears coloured contact lenses

[maryjoysanderson]

@MrGodders111 i know now, he says it at the start of one of his shows, bit of a let down ;D still love him, though.

[almeida062]

0:53 Jamie Cullem?

[rorzz129]

[Guitarlegend0101]

@colonofcoca mate , i wasnt religiously challenging someone on a video , its not like on TheAmazingAtheist where the comments turn into a forum : /

[kittykatie257]

4:01 OH YES :L xx I love him seriously- obsession with this song :L

[versatildoom]

[dominoesdeluxe]

[ryancalderbank]

[nikki080794]

This is my favourite Tim Minchin song!!!! And I also love the joke before the song about a poo in an alleyway!! XD

[faceofajaguar]

Favourite version of this song =D GENIUS!!

[MidjettKiDx]

Tim Minchin = Jesus with a piano

[CharlotteAndRachael]

@MidjettKiDx correction: God with a piano

[TheRealHeaH]

@CharlotteAndRachael It's the same thing, really

[Guitarlegend0101]

@CharlotteAndRachael Tim Minchin is better than god AND jesus ... he's real

[PolusAbyssus]

@CharlotteAndRachael correction: Messiah of the pianists 

[orin12345678]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: There is no God.

[itsaturtleknockout]

@orin12345678 hes on your screen rocking

[Gubbins92]

correction: Chuck Norris with a piano

[honan91]

@Gubbins92 correction: chuck norris is a fag...

tim is awesome.

[Tawichi]

Guys, guys... Flying spaghetti monster with a piano. C'mon.

[Ivansama94]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: a really awesome dude with a piano

[illfindoutful]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction : He is not. That would be sad if Tim didn't believe in himself.

[MistahMudkip]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: Whilst he is a very wonderful songwriter and pianist, he isn't a god. He exists you see...

[Franciscanplaypiano]

@CharlotteAndRachael Tim is an athiest. So if he's God, then he doesn't believe in himself... man needs confidence. ;)

[Aryadei]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction, Fucking brilliant atheist with a piano.

[CharlotteAndRachael]

Enough with the "Correction"s ..Over a year ago, that'll do

[MrHappyTurtle]

@CharlotteAndRachael just flag them as spam :p

[THEDRUMMERJOSH]

@MidjettKiDx = but Tim Minchin acknowledge's his own existance but not that of 'God', therefore he cant be God

thus Tim Minchin is a bare-footed paradox of imposibility and awesomness.

[Sheytana13]

@THEDRUMMERJOSH omg. what an amazing comment.. i mean. pure reason and truth. just like Tim..;)

[thommo9907]

@MidjettKiDx Today we remember Tim's sacrifice.

[bubbles5006]

i think this is a really good song and pretty relevant atm

[Whootirule]

This describes me so much it's depressing and hilarious at the same time.

I'm messed up now.

[eoinandrew]

Damn rating should have 50 stars!!!! Awesome!

[lisaaikman1990]

Im sure i saw some people in the audience getting a bit emotional at the end of this song! Bless :)

[Alexfroggg]

i think the one they get more emotional over is not perfect (: but yeah Bless lol

[gazalaza1995]

is this song about himself?

[ScottNBNP]

haha you can't be serious? Nice Trolling

[Alexfroggg]

yep (:

[AEQUITASTBS]

@gazalaza1995 Yes, it is:)

[MrJbfan2010]

[Alexfroggg]

[nardiarrrg]

[inspiredfunk]

This is a great auto-biogaphical piece of musical humour - incredibly talented pianist too (and yes, that is pianist)

[robbierules81]

STAAYYYYIN ALLLLIIIVVVVEEEE

[sam123456789098]

[Jordanc940]

@sam123456789098 It's Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven.

Brilliant song.

[robbierules81]

story of my life xcept im 16 how fuckin sad is that lol

[Jordanc940]

@robbierules81 Likewise mate, Lol.

Except I'm 17 ;D

[thecupdidit]

i still dont think hes a comedian but he's a bloody good musician with a sense of humour! x) would be nice to have a drink with him! x

[jackasz1990]

You've read my minds!

[mikeyrangers]

@thecupdidit I'm sorry but Tim Minchin is a comedian. Have you ever heard the stand up parts that he does? They are so funny. Maybe just my sense of humour but he is definitely a comedian. If you haven't watched it though you should. Just remember purple shows ;).

[nzkim1]

That was hot

[0Fell0]

@therampantbookworm Sorrybto be the one to break this to you, but those are coloured contact lenses, he says in his opening song on the DVD :P

[crazyrock195]

The stairway to heaven bit at the end makes me laugh every time... His face is hilarious :D

[therampantbookworm]

tim has beautiful eyes

[NewSoul101]

I cannot put in words how awesome i think this guy is. he's an amazing musician and comedian. god, i wish i had a talent like him. my hero. :) <3

[washo01]

fucking brilliant...i think people should put thumbs up if they agree and yeah happy new year everyone :)

[camberwellbeauty153]

Looks like no one has put thumbs up for you, so I've done it for you lol.

[hazbo79]

aww he has really blue eyes :D lol x LEGEND hes a genious

[bigfatrez]

his point isnt that gnr are better. its the fact they are more a more hard sounding out and out rock band rather than queen.this is what the song is about, that the person wants to be a rocker but at heart he just doesnt cut it. nothing to do with who is better which is a diff debate altogether!!!

[wiskimde]

those eyes! :)

[DogFaceBerts]

Love this song so much.

One of his lines is "Give him Guns 'n' Roses, he'll take Queen".

Lets be honest, Queen are WAY better than Guns 'n' Roses.

[yanyayai]

gnr beat queen!

[lshkzxshvkshdfgkh]

hit the nail on the head there pal, but don't get me wrong Guns n Roses are good but Queen are classic :)

[unitedboy101]

@DogFaceBerts theres no better or worse, just opinion

[deanwinchesterlover1]

Cant Believe he Away To Australia

Im So Envious Lol

[FrazzlleG]

[HGJDmino]

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

[Eilavamp]

Poo in an alleyway!

[Camtomlee]

Purple Shoes!

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

[Aruthapete]

What's with the vocal phaser?! don't rememebr that when I watched it on telly...

[DavieC5]

This song is bloody marvelous but it deserve to be played with a proper band like when he played it on ABC's "Sideshow"

[ruroremy]

Agreed. I still think that's the best version of the song. Shame too, as his voice is a lot better here.

[Elusive0Thing]

i love this song because he seems to take it more seriously. It's a nice change. :)

[danielmacmillen]

what a genius!

[Iskelet23]

The ending reminds me of another song but can't recall what it is... Anyone know it?

[princepe123]

dude its stairway to heaven, just like the most famous rock song ever kinda surprised that u don't remember it, and it also says 'stairway' like half way through

[Xtina87]

Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin.

[MCYorkieBar]

stairway to heaven i think :s lol.
