[RoyyGreene]

[kathcar1]

[NickTann]

Ahhh, under his arm!!!

[shrinkiwannakill]

@Oroshimisu i'm pretty sure he's saying that John is Jesus because he's an amazing musician... but the long hair doesn't hurt.

[wackyoneone]

That sounds great man!

[Orz4k]

The guy on the drums is just awesome.

[scoobydoo111111111]

the 41 people who disliked this video should be striped but naked at the next john butler concert be mayed stand infront of the whole intire cround and dance to john butler and the concert should be broadcasted world wide so that they realise how fucking stupid they are for disliking john butler. john butler is a legend and always will be. ps john butler doesn't have to have his hair like jesus or anything like that to be jesus becuase he is jesus no matter what he does with his appearance

[SoundOfTheShell]

@scoobydoo111111111 you sir...need help.

[allsheep2388]

john buter is a legend

[fatmonkey1982]

The drummer is awesome.

[MyChristSaves]

This guy make 2.4 million per year - keep cracking jokes, he doesn't care! Keep releasing songs JB3!

[Germanisme]

/watch?v=8DGr0TUd6U4

[Oroshimisu]

[Airon1891]

@Tommaso10Buscetta since i dont eve know the show, ima go ahead and thmbs you down :D

[theseasc]

Nope, he's not using a pick. Just uses the nail on his index finger to flat pick

[HailSagan4Realz]

John Butler is not very John Butler-ish.

Oh pooh.

[willywacker27496]

@HailSagan4Realz

That doesnt make any sense

[HailSagan4Realz]

@willywacker27496 That's kind of my point.

[MultiSuperfunny]

why does john butler wear that on this pinkie?

[Kasum89]

@MultiSuperfunny its a slider, its uses to press more strings at same time on same fret much easier, playing like thath is called sliding , at least hope i am right

[psychoticgoldphish]

@MultiSuperfunny 2:01 to around 2:15 is why he is wearing a slide on his pinky. :)

[BreaktheDrought]

he looks like he's using a pick. that's not very JB-ish. is he?

[BaddActinProductions]

@BreaktheDrought This song seems pretty un john butlerish. still good though

[Jenkins5950]

@BreaktheDrought his hand goes flat at the end

[bossiepuppydog]

LOVE LOVE LOVE that is all xoxo :O)

[barra877]

38 people prefer single coloured animals.

[BlindLoveandPeace]

Man this drummer...just something else. Wicked man wicked

[astoriadanny]

This song is the shit but I do think my downloaded version is a better sound. Could just be YouTube though. Saw 'em live in this little town outside of Chicago years ago.

[tkshep12]

what tuning is this?

[thepizzaisinsideme]

@tkshep12 my guess is open C, but i could be wrong. ocean is in open C. i really have no idea

[Metaldudehere]

@tkshep12 i play it in standard, however mine doesn't sound as awesome as him XD

[brewy2010]

@tkshep12 i play it in B F# B F# B D

[fedmuldvarp]

I just looove this song

[Blackmetal9000]

[haleyandjalisa]

Fantsstic@@

[Krolchilla]

In my eyes the best Guitar player of the holy fuckin world.

[generalREDOSKI]

[onyachamp]

my bet is he worked fucken hard on that solo

[anton123445]

the part between 00:00 and 4:10 IS AWESOME!!

[ADProductions13]

"i can be loud, i cant be silent..." ptg u never go silent...

[theinuitjoe]

1:55 just amazing.

[erinl400]

jean butlEr TREEH'o

[downunderkev]

First experience of John was many years ago at Busselton Beach Festival Western Australia. Heard this fantastic guitar playing. It was John and it was a free concert. Great guitarist, great performer

[Knickknack93]

i think every genre of songs is in this song.

[TheAintitjust]

just such an ace song

[XxTestProfilxX]

been playing this tune with my school band and love it ever since

[omigueltosto]

wow! john is the man!

[etnadski]

Fantastic reggae punk..

[n1imbanoob]

it like it so much... its great

[Lerrion]

Awesome! 

[hallbest1]

love it and he is hot.......

[matvarn]

12

[petrca15]

I love your music!!! =D

[foshizmaniz21]

This is a brilliant song. If only john butler would still write songs as funky and as musically sound as this one. All his stuff has progressed downhill.

Still, he is brilliant

[RiversideMOFO24]

Lmfao, the guy playing on the right of John butler... looks like alan off the hangover hah

[akustikMannheim]

@RiversideMOFO24 thought the same :D

[26174]

That Drummer Is The Best.

[DanBestBaby]

@26174 no no john butler is the best

[jaworskij]

Mon Zebra en Est Africa.

[masterbmxnl]

thumps for the drummer :D

[DimJim86]

its funny how people say that french people sound gay, when we sound gay to them.

[chandapole1981]

awesome love it!!

[nirvomind]

french sucks !

[flatfrog03]

It's awesome knowing that there's still truly talented musicians who are passionate about music

[hydrobluebuds69]

i cant belive 798,438 ppl have watched this and this great artist only has 1,314 likes come on ppl!!!

[rickr4618]

Can anyone tell what kind of headphones John is using? Need to grab a new pair...curious as to what he uses.

[Kornfreek125]

I was about to pause it to go to the bathroom, but then the drum solo came up and I was like "OHHH YEAA" and watched til the end of the solo.

[gimsiboy]

unbescgreiblich geil, schade der bassist war eingach grossartig!!!

[RoyyGreene]

why does JB only use 11 strings?

i have a 12 string and the only reason i can find is that it sounds terrible aha

[Artyfartyify]

@RoyyGreene i think the octave higher G would stick out like a sore thumb

[RoyyGreene]

@Artyfartyify yeah i've always thought that but i was just wondering if there was any other reason why aha thanks :)

[Rosalee2424]

Love it!! :)

[SoMusic15]

@totalrethatsme kinda riding off of what shortstuff said, i think its because he talks about the good/evil in all of us, or not necessarily even that, but just the variability within us all. a zebra is black and white (which are two opposite colors, clearly), so, it makes plenty of sense to say that our potentialities and personalities are very much like zebras haha. that's my input anyways, hope that clears it up :)

[Coronadou]

that drummer............. amazing

[rywibr]

@readyfortakeoff111 I wonder if readyfortakeoff111 knows he's a passive aggressive troll.

[seyeruoynepotsuj]

Nice bass!! :)

[totalrethatsme]

im still confused at why it is called 'zebra' LOL

[shortstuff910mc]

@totalrethatsme cuz the zebra can be black or white :D idk just threw that out there lol

[420jaymac]

@totalrethatsme maybe it has something to do with their stripes

[mrgnister]

FUNKY!!



[Korkage]

NEEDS MOAR COWBELL!!!

[crustybitchface]

i wonder if the drummer thinks thats hard

[readyfortakeoff111]

@crustybitchface I wonder if crustybitchface knows he's a pretentious asshole.

[jeffclarkemusic]

@readyfortakeoff111 .. he must.. betcha he plays drums too.. really badly..

[WhiteShadow139]

@readyfortakeoff111 I wonder if Readyfortakeoff111 knows that he's funny...

[jamieoid]

@readyfortakeoff111 u met him? i have, decent guy, not sure u got it rite there buddy

[420jaymac]

@crustybitchface damn right its hard!!

[fathead085]

F*ckin brilliant!!!!

[webby260]

how sad would life be without music like john butler trio?

i don't want to imagine

[leuwenharty]

@webby260 Imagine - John Lennon (The Beatles)

[MOUSEBURNZ]

@webby260 I dont get why this trio separated :(

[bfarvea509]

@webby260 I would have my ear drums removed, if all was had to listen to was ashley simpson, justin bieber and souja boy! THANK YOU YOUTUBE PANDORA AND WHO EVER ELSE I AM MISSING, THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US THE HAVE SUCH WONDERFUL MUSIC AT OUR FINGER TIPS! THANK YOU FOR LETTING THE WORLD KNOW ONE BY ONE THAT THERE REALLY IS WONDERFUL MUSIC OUT THERE!!!

[affro05]

@bfarvea509 100% agreed man thank god i know theres others that think like me.

[jeffclarkemusic]

@webby260 i would make it ;P

[perthskates]

can anyone work the out chord progression on the verse?

[ruukaoz]

@perthskates B minor, F# minor, D major, B minor.

[JerichoDitch2]

funky song ..... funky dude ... love his guitar work.... inspired and original

[jdburnnotice]

Fantastic performance as usual John Butler Trio!

[LedZTCC]

Mauro Camoranesi on the drums!!

[Scarecrowman27]

Speaking of the drummer. How does he just make his other drumstick appear in his hand out of nowhere, after he's done that solo at 2:47 that DaanGuitarManiak is talking about. LOL He's so good that when he's done it's just like Poof I want my drumstick back.

[soulsaga]

@Scarecrowman27 He tucks it under his armpit, it's hidden behind the cymbals.

[DaanGuitarManiak]

@Scarecrowman27 armpit

[nubz252]

Awsome

New favorit band.

[DoopaLoopa]

Why do french people always sound so gay. Sounds like a homo who just ate out his partners ass hole.

[zlockg]

this is hot.

[RawrsaidJye]

can you play these songs on normal guitars?

[scoarchio]

Who taught Him the guitar he says?????? Who else? hes Jesus, must have been his daddy of course!!!

P.S You should hear himon th spoons its Biblical.JBT ROCKS!

[Kobeownzu81]

i never really noticed it until now but they are like an australian dave matthews band in a way. hahaha

[dispatch1347]

@Kobeownzu81 hmmm I can't see it, I love em both though :)

[humpmastajoe16]

This song is awesome, but it needs more cowbell. 

[heavenbynature]

awesomeness!!!!!

[god3300]

haha crazy ass drumming

[kullz12]

@dejavu3552 carter beauford is just sick its insane, Neil Peart would be another

[flcsucks]

he's so chill

[TheDyLAND09]

anyone what the guitar is tuned into?

[noreasontogetexcited]

Zach Galifianakis on the bass everyone!

[ap0st0lak0s]

just my fav song of john

[bechambers]

more cow bell!!!!!!!

[DazzaThim]

Let's all help this vid on its way to 1mil views!! =)

[DanielWiersma]

How could 33 guys/gals not like this? This is awesome! Is there a guitar tab for this version. I already know the one you find most (7th and 9th fret, etc). Peace

[blackrose42003]

the guy on the drums is hot :P

his drum playing is awsome and gotta love that voice of the singer

[amyg06]

John Butler is not Jesus, He's fucking GOD! Immense at the guitar. So get a grip.

[blade1394]

is everybody with a fucking beard and long hair jesus. ive seen that everywhere from dave grohl videos to fleet foxes devendra banhart J tillman rusell brand and any other bloke wi a beard(mainly in folk bands). yeah coz everyone back in the bible days has flowing long locks with conditioner and great skin and a neatly trmmed beard.Jesus wasnt a rockstar.

[arielsfish]

I think JB feels he has played this song better, but give props to em it still an awesome version of the song, the drums makes up for the different acoustics, and yes it does look like alan from the hangover, This is the best hippy jam band around, i saw em play this outside ampitheatre it was sooooo packed, i got so wasted best gig of my life

[samthebeatlesfan6]

Amazing

[plentyplus1]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzus!

[roachie30]

The bass guy looks like alan from the hangover :)

[THEJELLYFISHx]

lovin it. hey, does anyone know how to play this on piano? thanks

[jimi2k7]

intro is Hey negrita from black and blue rolling stones

[linuz011]

Fucking great song!

[Encrust]

No fuckin way though. This is my 1st exposire to these nice lads and I'm without question now a lifelong supporter. Partly because I drum and I've just witnessed summet a bit special mind. That was a bit disgusting, especially towards the end there.

[fl4shgirl]

loooove em *_*

[adsdon]

this song makes me want to surf and go hunting crayfish and im a metalhead slash maori.

[klitopsylo]

Que du bonheur! <3

[finfonfoo7]

this song rocks my cock

[ChandelierLeBlair]

Fuck these dudes are sick

[Radification]

sounds like the dudes spitting at the start

[ROZX5452]

jb has beautiful hands

[bitchhole64]

rofl my mate played this on a distorted electric guitar haha

[Spooke714]

lol he was telling the sound guy to turn up his wah but the guy didn't notice. @ 2:25

[rwebb61]

Does anyone else recongize what this is extremely similar to?

Please I really hope someone does!

[nachobetsim]

@rwebb61

Noup, please inlight us :)

[rwebb61]

@nachobetsim

Look up "Who Knows" by Band of Gypsys. The hook in this song is so similar to Hendrixs playing, and even the vocal bit is like Billy Cox's vocal solo!

[TheRealCristianLuca]

what a sound !

[ltdaxter786]

I started to crack up when I saw the bass :p my first impression of it was "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" Still awesome.

[thestormlscoming]

@ltdaxter786 the stand up? why? i prefer stand up bass to bass guitar

[ltdaxter786]

@thestormlscoming Oh so that's what it's called.... I don't know it's the first time I see it so I found it funny for how huge it is. Yeah and I also think the "stand up" is better.

[thestormlscoming]

@ltdaxter786 lol, idk if that's the proper term, its just what i've seen most people refer to it as. according to wikipedia, its a "double bass." i think they were more common back in the day with the big bands and jazz and such

[mrnikko419]

@thestormlscoming Both terms are correct. It's technically a double bass. Which means it's a double bass violin basically. But most people will also just call it a stand up bass cause the way it's standing up and horizontal.

[gzila57]

@thestormlscoming yes it is called both a double bass and stand up bass and is still used in jazz and classical music today

[skilar11tay]

I love the random la-da-doms he does... ahaha

this is probly one of my fav JBT songs just because of how epic the drummer is.. people dont seem to realize how important drummers can be when they actually play well :P

[DocSixString]

what kind of pedal does he use to get the mad distorted tone ??

[LisaShannon1]

awesome awesome awwwwwwweeeeeesome

[theCLOWNx1]

haha this song is choice

[DaanGuitarManiak]

warning,

in 2:47, the drummer is gonna pown every other drummer alive in this universe

keep windows and doors closed.

[dejavu3552]

@DaanGuitarManiak i can name two drummers that are equal or better if ur interested

beauford carter

and

asaf powell

[chjohnst]

@dejavu3552 chad smith

[MrLogicnreason]

@dejavu3552 also Bobby Rock, John Tempesta, Jacob Armen, Terry Bozzio, and the list can go on & on. He's a good drummer, not great. Dave Weckl too. All 5 could out drum this guy one handed

[lswdrum88]

@MrLogicnreason : Life's not about what's better than!!!
