Crazy keyboard player

[BTippy111]

Got to love the idiots that don't realize this was recorded in the very late 80's or the very early 90's...mullets were the style then....

[mr2ange]

He is literally pisstakingly quick with his fingers.

[guitarjammer1]

This is Rick Wakeman. His son Adam Wakeman plays in Ozzy's band.

[drysabre]

Don't say "I can play like this":

Wakeman began his solo career during his first run with Yes. His perhaps most known records being his first three, The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1973), Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1974) and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (1975). He has produced over 100 solo albums that have sold more than 50 million copies. He awarded the Spirit of Prog award at the annual Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards.

[drysabre]

So sad.... Rick Wakeman - one of the greatest keyboardist in the rock-n-roll history. And some of you say that his music is "good too"... In contrast to what's going on today this is Music - not just crap that DJs produce not even being musicians. Rick is a genius. Period. Also check Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake and Palmer). Keith also knows little bit about keyboard.

[inocentforever]

better than jordan rudess

[drysabre]

@inocentforever 100%

[SmithDemetrius]

Rick Wakeman and Yes!!! My favorites!

[haddkam]

yes band

[AbbieKat101]

we meet again 240p >:O

[Jikelargaespada]

wow ¡ incredible ¡ amazing ¡

[mikethedragon2000]

This would be Rick Wakeman from Yes.....at the time of this solo it was Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford & Howe

[MrJambanana]

Rick Wakeman is an impressive keyboardist. Funny no one here seems to realize that this is him.

[TRANDAFIR77]

wooow



[RhythmDramatist]

JORDAN RUDESS

[B0BSamuriSon]

i heard he fingered a girl and she exploded......

[cprostudio]

you can be as fast as the speed of light and as precise as a laser beam but that does not mean you music will be any good.

[tonusaitis]

@cprostudio Right, you can be fast and precise but not good, But Wakeman's music IS good, too.

[BrandonProductions1]

the top keyboard is a CASIO? wtf?....

[dalli2]

@BrandonProductions1  Its a Roland D50.

[eliteklanOfficial]

fantastico sin palabras!!!

[broadcastliveTV]

WOW!

[russellroom]

thumbs up for the music, thumbs down for the hair

[russellroom]

This dude has great music skills, many keyboards but definitely not a good hairdresser, what the fuck!

[Juniversal]

Rick Wake is my fav keyboardist of all time. Very inspiring performance. WOW...

[goldsgym1244]

wats the second song called?

[Clasicus1]

This is an improv or song? If song, can somebody tell me name of it?

[FeeFinger666]

he's cool. But if you wanna see the Keyboard MASTER, check on youtube "Jean-Michel Jarre", the song live in Paris called "Rendez-Vous"

[drysabre]

@FeeFinger666 Jean-Michel is a pop performer. Hi's Space is nothing but a disco group. Rick Wakeman is an icon and one of the greatest keyboardist of all times. You can't compare serious musician with entertainer.

[saltyphotog]

I had no idea Dog the bounty hunter played keyboards!

[Dantegal3]

i wish i could have my hair like him

[ABCba5tard]

wat song is it called

[starstarstar42]

Rick's fingers are so fast that if he ever got them up to full speed, the world would start spinning backwards, just like in the Superman movie. Rick's fingers are so fast, that one time, when he was the keyboardist for the group YES, they had to change their name to NO. Rick's fingers are so fast that they typed this comment you are ready...10 minutes from now!

[XanaduUchiha]

Rick Wakeman is a freaking genius!

[christrek]

I gon't get this thin with Chuck Norris he's an actor and not even the best at fighting??????????

[RetoohsIV]

HAXXXXXXZORRRRRrrr

[fujitsulifebooke342]

Does any one know who this guy is? lol

[twinguitarKid]

I just read over my post and realized that I spelled genius incorrectly. Pardon my spelling I'm not the best at it. O.o

[twinguitarKid]

Amazing and Michel camilo is a good player, but the songs he chooses to play are extreamly easy. Rick Wakeman, the guy playing here, is a very smart man, who can play Songs like this with not just speed, but extreme feel for the song he is preforming. A musical genious.

[taysuse]

@twinguitarKid How do these guys even get to this level. i gave up my social life for this instrument and am no where near this. i dnt get it. wat is it???

[drysabre]

@taysuse Tо give up your social life is not enough. Rick is one of the greatest keyboardist of all times. Guess what - you need to be a professional (and Rick was a member of the super group Yes) and you need to have a talent. If you give up a night life, it doesn't mean you can play violin like Paganini. I hope this helps.

[Marius1988Roma]

Do you guys think he's soo good??? Ok then, type Michel Camilo on Youtube and see one of the best piano player in the world

[drysabre]

@Marius1988Roma You probably don't know who Rick Wakeman is. He doesn't need any comparisons. He is a man who made a history of progressive rock and is a part of that history. Will you compare Jimmy Hendrix with anyone? Are there some guitarist who are faster than Jimmy. Sure. Does it mean anything? No. Because he's Jimmy and they are not. Same with Rick. He is Rick Wakeman. That's enough.

[DJRemz3]

no joke but im 14 and i can almoast do that. i might post up a video. ive been playing since i was 4

[Marius1988Roma]

@DJRemz3

kid you don't even know how hard that is to play.... It's the way he plays, not what he plays... I've been playing since 6, now i'm 22 , i can tell you that ;)

I personally think he 's not a great great piano player, at least in this song, he puts too much virtuosity and less feelings in what he plays...however, he's playing with a dammn fast speed!!!

I prefer John Lord

[drysabre]

@DJRemz3 There are few important things - first: to play almost like him is not the same to play like him. And second: to play like him doesn't mean to be him. If you would be a musician o composer, not a DJ you will quickly realize the difference. But don't worry, when you grow up and will have a bit more grey substance in your box, you'll get it. So far check wikipedia - you'll know who are you speculating about.

[UpYourViva2]

Chuck Norris could play faster with his toes..

[drysabre]

@UpYourViva2 Yes, and probably Chuck Norris can think with his ass. Did you learn from him?

[MrFranzisko]

people with mullets = badass

[heavnhel]

>:] i can still finger a girl faster o.o

[KayKay1914]

@heavnhel that's attractive ~ grow up

[ZACKnirvana]

@KayKay1914 if he's sitting here commenting on youtube videos i guarentee you he isn't he getting any action to begin with...

[smoo9309]

Rick Wakeman is Amazing....seen him in concert and play some of his songs....

[adamsstash]

Just because you can play fast doesn't mean it sounds good. Ronald Jenkees makes this guy's music sound horrendous.

[mythumbsupaccount]

That guy is ridiculous on the keys but his Mullet is taking it to the next level and then some.

[Rawsawn]

Is his fingers human?

[Samoutti]

no, he has a robot hands

[lampuks9]

SPEEEEED!!!!!!!!!

[elnengo]

is, so cool.

[DrClave]

Crazy ? He's Rick Wakeman ..

[gusgusgusimgus]

genious work!

[JJKjaer]

Try to do that on a Concert Grand, with heavy keys and several mechanic parts, that has to move before the tone is created..

[NightXemnas]

Rick is incredibly talented, I would have enjoyed this amazing performance even without the speed, the melody was so... Brilliant! The speed was unbelievable! This makes me wanna play that dusty keyboard under my bed again, even though I could never have the same feel that Wakeman does!

[emokhtar]

i know that guy, his name is jordan rudess 2 loooool

[RaiseTheTitanic1980]

The keyboard palyer is the legendary Brit, Rick Wakeman. I read recently that Rick has had 7 small heart attacks in his life. Playing like this, now wonder.

[FuntageCrew]

let's see him do that on a piano with heavy keys, lol.

[Northernsolstice]

Poor keyboards getting beaten up o.o

[isaacrife08]

its rick wakeman

[carrietide]

I have immense respect for Jordan and Keith,they sure are awesome keyboardists......but God I LOVE RICK!!!!!!!!!!

[drysabre]

@carrietide I would vote for Keith then Rick. But they both are great.

[mikegodinho]

Good speed and feel....

[hartonray]

faster than bumblebee

[Pogen1cp]

HOLY CRAP I CANT THINK THAT FAST

[chode1553]

he must really please the ladies

[bolawarrior]

@chode1553

Rick (his name) Was spotted in having intercourse with his girlfriend.

She died during foreplay.

[tonyrules42]

his keyboarding is alright...

his mullet is the amazing part

[SHAWNGALEADROCK]

@tonyrules42 lol

[danielsylvain]

Rick is the most entertaining single artist..

You never get bored spending an evening with him around...

[Chudhole]

Wakeman's the best.

[Synthdude13]

Go Go Wakeman

[archernetwork]

omg!!!!damn he's good!

[sk890er]

lol nice

im playing the keyboard 2

but by far not so good x)

[XHALE303]

obvious ;) otherwise u would be standing next 2 him : .....but dont be ashamed there are not a lot who can beat him ;)

[33RAT]

dudes got the best mullet hahahahah

[Levsomslav]

It is entertaining with speed. Without saying that I have the ability to play like that, he plays pretty floppy. The tempo drifts, he misses some notes here and there. But shure, it is fast.

[jambi715]

must be nice to play like that

[TheBananaCat]

sounds like a Children of Bodom keyboard song

[mynameisjonk46]

Great Wakeman... I love his albums!!!

[jonnyfart132]

is dat like beathoven or sumthin

[Tiagoakafate]

OMFG :O

[celsey00]

It would be funny if he wentinto a music store and like tried the keybored out like he went slow and the people who work there were all like oh he don't know how to play then he all the goes crazzy that would be funny!

[Stomplar]

hot damn

[elmancojo]

Rick es de otro mundo!!!!!

[JaJaBaWaKeeZ53468479]

hum i wonder if you gave him about for organs i wonder how that would sound will for sure i keep dreaming

[xTPTxOCELOT]

beast!

[pianolistchristina12]

OH THAT SOOOO COOL ..............W0W

[1WickerMan]

Go Wakeman go!

[SUAD11792]

that guy is the very best in the world

[Anistatik]

One word

CRAZY!

Got get some hand speed like him

[TehOmega1992]

can you please give me that skill i need it

[ment4lbre4kdown]

Rick is amazing, it's him and Jordan Rudess at the top. :P

[drysabre]

@ment4lbre4kdown Ever heard about Keith Emerson?

[cromola94]

rick you is dextrous :0)

[rodrigomacias]

who is that guy?

[erixtube1]

The guy is Rick Wakeman of the symphonic rockband "YES"

[jazzdog2]

also called progressive rock

[JivexDragon]

With modern technology, using four keyboards like that is no longer necessary. However, this was definitely an amazing display of virtuosity.

[fuzzydeer]

I think its easier to have four controllers over having one with tons of modules swiching would be difficult to do on the fly where its easier with two or more boards.

[SPLHurricane]

lol, splinterinyourmind's tags have pwnage in them. so true :)

[gazzeel]

Surely you all know that is Rick Wakeman?

he's been around for years since about 1960's I think. Big celebrity in UK.

[drysabre]

@gazzeel Big celebrity everywhere besides (seems to me) this freaking community. Idiots speculate about the man who is a history of rock-n-roll. Some of them say "not bad". Some of them say "I can play better". Play better my ass, advisers!

[motherfuckers666]

Wow, thats amazing! Proper good

[agentsteell]

where is this video from??

[jurenovakjure]

I can say just uwauuuuuuuu...that`s best playing i ever seen!!!!!!!

[hachelinakar]

No es tan rapido con la mano izquierda

[jpc901]

stupid hair, ruins it

[thesandmaneeest]

lo que él hace con 6 u 8 teclados, Jordan Rudess lo hace en 1 :)

toca muy bien, pero no exagerar con tantos (teclados)

[Lanzayamas]

He´s Rick Wakeman!!

[splinterinyourmind]

Ah yes, that's it. I actually forgot his name for a while.

Thanks!! :3
