  • I love that song <3 and love you more grandad xxx

  • I miss my Dad

  • they call you an elder,senior.old man, I CALL YOU A CIVILIZED PERSON THAT KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING!!!!!!

  • WOW my grandad couldnt even use the computerrr :/ x lol x YOU RULE!

  • too bad our culture has most child sex assaulters and drug pushers on the young, are seniors- i have entered senior status this past year and i have become ashamed of my peers- from refusing to take charge of their health, many are drug addicted, sex predators on grandchildren and or are cowards and defend their seniors friends offenders in courts or in locking up the victims in psychiatric units, drugged and electricuted for exposing criminal seniors- openly persecuting young women-im a senior

  • @lmollot lol...get some education first you fool....in ancient Greece pederasty was a part of the culture.

  • @pawelgrom -thank u for your reply-name calling shows u lack facts so u resort to attack instead of discussion-in ancient greece was child rape accepted as a "custom"by the victims too?still in use today b/c sex assaults are a tactic to cause dissociation, ptss in pple to create a slave-the younger the age the more effective-its still in use by govts worldwide-see cathy obrien trance-formation,MKULTRA, war vets, P.O.W.

  • Good video!

  • stop calling me a tuba

  • @deadgoblin86 LMAO!

  • Why was the hope i die before im old lyric not changed? Funny anyway, Mr. Geriatric would be the coolest grandad ever!

  • you and your friends who did the song are true hero's ,as are all older people good luck to you and yours

  • still like it and i'm an ancient crooner..

    check out my new video..hit on gypwin

    cheers

  • i think what " the zimmers" did was bloody fantastic!!!!!!!

    respect for the elderly is important! im 17 and a student nurse, and have alot of respect for the elderly!!

    really good idea, and very good cover!!

  • Always respect your elders. I'm 26.

  • My teenagers treat the elderly with great respect and I love that you are on here showing other teens that the elderly have so much to offer the young. Please don't let any bad comments bring you down. Don't ever stop.

  • lol what a thing to say.

    We all get old, mate.

  • alright, maybe you'll never get get old. who am I to say, right?

  • oh.

  • This account is suspended. lol@ you sluttysub

  • This account is suspended.

  • i'm 61 and still singing for a living.check out  gypwin

  • The elders of society were always treated with great respect in the past, and I think the pendulum is swinging back that way again. What you're doing is great!

  • we may be older but us old ones can still cut it.e.g check out gypwin

  • Great idea and great spirit, you definitely get my support, everyone will be old one day and that is life and we all can relate to aging because we are experiencing it now!

  • Im writing a two page handout to leave in public places. Its has referenced facts and is not the normal crazy shouting stuff you hear. It just gives the lay people something that may spark them to research the NWO. If you have any suggestion please email freeamerica1776 @ gmail. com

    No spaces in my email, I had to remove them based on youtube.

  • cool

  • wish you all the best for the new record !!!!

    I am sure it will catch on like the last one!!!!!!!! best regards Peter  from Brigitte near München

  • Weren't you on The One Show?

  • Rock On Dude!

    What a great thing to do!

    Music lasts forever too!

  • "The zimmer is a prop" heh, great humour ;)

    How was it, being on television?

    I like the reasons behind The Zimmers, showing that just because a person is over a certain age, doesn't mean that they can't still do good in the community, that they have a use. Is there any indication yet how much money has gone to age concern yet?

    I've been watching some of the other videos and they really are fantastic :) Good job done there, Peter :)

  • i not really understand to 100% what you say but i like your voice...

    sory for my english

  • The Zimmers are a great band! Everyone buy the song! By the way are you the lead singer or a backing singer?

  • Thank you for being YOU. You are amazing!

  • Come and watch "REVOLUTION" Help it go viral!

  • The struggle for civil rights for the black people in the US started with one lady... I'm sure you guys will do something great too!

  • we love your videos :)

    - happy christmas from Norway :)

  • is this guy still HERE? wow, BROOKLYN RAY here , I think Your A Red Diaper Doper Baby.

    what the hell is this place here anyway?

  • I wanna be with this energy on my eigths, that will come 40 years from now!

    Congratulations!

  • Kudos to you. A lot of the people I respect most in my life right now either are or almost are senior citizens. I'll hang out with you anytime haha.

  • sir i take my hat of to you please encourage other of your age group to come forward you have much to offer

  • Rightly said

  • Well done EXCELLENT!!! We have so much to learn from our elders. Listen and Learn. Its as simple as that. A TOTAL INSPIRATION. Long may they continue *****

  • dam geriatric i knew that was you in the zimmers...i found it just before this confession..lol...that was weird

  • dead right ur they are planning the new internet they will change it maybe b4 2012 u will then need to register with your ID/passport current address n everytime u visit a side EVERYTHING ON YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL BE VISIBLE TO THEM YOU WILL HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE n no webpage will be allowed on it but the ones that spead their propaganda they are bend on world domination had they managed to destroy Russia as they almost did now every country would be run by the elite of this world n then hell on earth

  • just like they did to yahoo discuasions that we all learned so much from, someone posted a list of top republican child molester n what sentences they got after they where convicted YET they are the same people who control us can u imagine once they control the whole world? how safe will our children be? or will they just take whoever they want? another named the 7 men who between them controll all news in america even local papers n magazines GUYS not too late yet but it will be very soon

  • how wonderful! im on my way to adding the zimmers to my myspace friends right now!

  • Got my respect!

  • NICE! I was about to say the same thing but you beat me to the punch. I'm actually studying psychology right now.

  • I find many "ignorant" people on here. Usually from a home where they were left to do as they please...(mistakenly)lolI was taught, "if you have nothng good to say.... "...

  • You seem like the sort of person that would complain about there being a new fast food place opening. (Dont reply with hate..i dont read reply's)

  • never mind youtube this guy should be on redtube.

  • I thought I recognised you when I saw the video! I got terribly enthusiastic lol!

  • People don't like assholes either. They don't like to hear or see them. Catch my drift?

  • love you, sir

  • Weren;t they affiliated with The Beatles?

  • Many "primitive" cultures revere their elders. It is only the "civilized" world that puts their elders away. I applaud your great video and wonderful message. Thank you! I laughed and was touched. The young (like me) would be wise to learn from those who've been here longer than we have. Thanks. Hope to hear more from the Zimmers!

  • Beautifully said. Since I was a teenager I always thought if I had any influence I would try to encourage the young to revere their elders in the Western world. They are such gifts to us and often times people cheat themselves out of the richness of their contributions.

  • I agree wholeheartedly. Our old folks can teach us so much about life, and they can tell us how things used to be. They hold so much history.

  • @BardosBoy yeah but when they speak secrets only when they have a half a foot in the grave, i dunno sounds like its brave only because they are not long to go...................

  • You did an amazing job, I think you were really enjoying yourself

    thanks for sharing

  • It must be nuts to have lived from before the war to 2000.. the history and technology and globalisation someone must witness.

    Bertrand Russell lived from the 1880's to the 1970's! Imagine that.

    Whereas we've got global catastraphe, empty fish stocks and extinct rain forests to look forward to..

  • Your absolutely horrible

  • no, i just think i'll state the obvious because i have nothing better to do.

  • same can be said for you

  • thats so good of you, you should be in the Lions Club.

  • Just saw you on Graham Norton!! :)

  • what year?

  • ROCK ON xD

  • I'd like to apologize for the idiots of my generation that are spamming your posts. They're trolls, looking for attention by heckling others.

    Anyway, I think it's really cool what you're doing and you've given me a new perspective on the elderly. It's really admirable and I just feel like people your age have so much wisdom I could learn from.

    Thanks man, preach on and hope everything is well for you.

  • u r so cool!!!

    and go away dunkus 42

  • your very clever that you know how to do these things! dont listen to all those other faggots! :P

  • Very interesting! this is great!

    dont listen to all those idiots who leave nasty comments, they need to get lives! your better than any of those losers, trust me!

  • I totally concur with your statement that older people do not deserve to be abused simply because they are old. It makes more sense to abuse younger people for being young. They haven't been around long enough to learn what life is about. In other words, age based abuse of any kind is never justified.

  • Old people have done things in their lives, that I could never do in mine.

  • I am 47 years old. I have heard through others that I am "old". I am not 18, however I don't want to be 18. 18 sucked.Life is meant to be lived, until you die, and enjoyed. Middle aged means you are in your PRIME! Hopefully you have the resources to enjoy it!

  • awesome, thank you~

    hello from Australia, and im pretty sure your messages came across world-wide.

    you ROCK!!!

  • Hello from Poland

  • Saw you on i Caught on TV thought i might say happy Belated Birthday

  • This man is a hero, Best of luck with everything!

  • he go away man thats harsh dingorex, this guys a dude

  • Just this weekend at the Bloom Festival in the UK - I saw many many young people dressing up like very old people - one was even dancing with a zimmer (called a walker in the US). I loved it and you - and the celebration at Bloom - shows that old people ROCK and are celebrated - and despite prevailing media glamour coverage - it isn't always about the young & the beautiful! Thanks geriatric1927!

  • You make me ashamed that its taken me so long to suss out youTube. I think your video is great please don't stop. Iloved the My Generation music video.Keep on rockin----

  • I did buy the cd and now is on my phone so I can use as a ringtone!

  • I love the zimmers!

  • you look like alfred batmans buttler

  • wohoooo go u!! well done dude xxxx

  • Next attempt should be the Kinks, "I'm not like everybody else." The same type of song as "My generation" just not as popular.

  • Hello Peter, I just discovered this evening (watching "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" here in The States, that you are a member of The Zimmers. Very Cool. I recognized you as the camera panned from left to right... I said to myself, "That's Peter/Geriatric1927." Well done. Lookin' forward to some more tunes. Be well.

  • Thank you for posting this. I found the Zimmers thru YouTube looking for the My generation by the Who. So many postings of the song ..I had to check out the Zimmers. I am impressed!!!! Post more videos.

  • congratulations for bringing some pride to the UK in the global youtube community!

    (comic 274)

  • i agree with you, people need to be nice to old people. it's only right because i love my grandparents.

  • Some german news magazines reported about "The Zimmers" it ist a wonderfull projekt. I have worked in a old peoples home for a long time and many old peoples home and I thin such projects for older people are a good sign for the future.

    Good luck with your Tour!

  • By the way...

    Carolina

  • Carolina my name is Bill and I reside in Sydney Australia, I was born in the same year as our friend Peter, I don't know who is the younger, he or I. I would just like to compliment you on your comment here, nothing wrong with your English, you articulate well, just remember you have command of another language beside your Mother tongue, so don't sell yourself short, you certainly have your heart in the right place,

    Take care,

    Bill.

  • Doing what you need to do for a great cause and non-profit too. You're doing great, Pete-- Keep it up.

  • you are amazing!

  • I just love what you do. The vid is fabulous!!. It's like an antedote to Jamie Cullum singing 'Tea for Two' or whatever he does. Good on you!!

  • I see you are now a star on British TV as well as on this site - good luck Peter - keep going.

  • You are truly my hero! I am 54 and recently got my degree in digital media- you inspire me to go on and learn more. It just goes to show that one is only as old as one feels. Thanks for being such a good role model.

  • i JUST saw you on the news!! here in Arizona! I jumped up and was like I KNOW HIM lol

  • word is spreading across the Atlantic - we love you here in Canada! :)

  • you were in the news in france on france2 today!

  • a lot love for you guys. all the best., love it love it..respect our elders please... good day to all

  • i lv u soo much....GOD bless!!

  • Well done to you all! Yes, the elderly have a lifetime of knowledge, and have experienced every age, and so should not be underestimated. Its cool to be old!!

  • It was a great documentary. I was staring at the wall for a while afterwards...in shame for how Britain treats it's elderly.

  • The Zimmers should sing more songs =)

  • You're all ledgends! I wish more people would learn to appreciate the older generations more, and take into account what you have all done for this country, whether it be fighting in wars or just plain working hard! People who post malicious comments have got issues, and need to find something else to occupy their closed minds... (they're all just jealous!!!). In another 70 years, I hope I can be as great as you! ROCK ON - you're so much cooler than loads of people will ever be!! love ya!x
