Link Almost Breaks Excalibur

[@musicisbeauty18]

Every time they touched the hair on the bow, a part of me DIED.

[@Caedus696]

She looked just fine and she says she replaces them all the time, she tours all over the place those hairs don't stay on there for long.

[@jojoerasquin4197]

so... how many parts do you have left?

[@tobbaddol]

Yeah... Don't know much about violins. But it seemed like a bad idea to me. :P

[@hannahyokoyama149]

Right? I cringed every single time.....

[@meganschipf7098]

omg same here XD I know that the bow hairs are repeatedly changed, but I was always told to never touch the bow hair. So the rule is now engrained into me and touching it just seems bad lol

[@williamgreene590]

RHETT! Never touch the hairs of a bow.

[@bunneeee4544]

Ikr

[@erynn701]

Ugh i know

[@Greendogblue]

why not? just curious

[@Plumzy03]

Cuz your poly hands will ruin the hairs

[@Plumzy03]

Oily*

[@ZoesZoo]

2:51 I love the way Link hurriedly hands Excalibur back to Lindsey when she says "it's about 100 years old". He knows himself too well hahaha

[@kizi3339]

His face when he does it too🤣

[@AwesomeCat2012]

Everyone freaking out about them touching the bow hair... she gets it rehaired every couple shows... I'm sure she wasn't worried, or she would have asked them to stop. LOL

[@juliansantos6023]

I think she gets a new one BC the types of bows

[@HugeESmalls]

She was touching it herself anyway at the beginning lol

[@MrMagma-tf1yp]

Plancing with a grand piano.

[@Yarrsi]

+Mr. Magma You still have your body and feet, and you don't need a stool to play the piano :D

[@AverageJoExplorations]

Look up Jerry Lee Lewis. He planced before it was trendy and he did it while playing the piano.

[@TheBearzRule]

2 words, Elton. John.

[@williamgreene590]

My violin is 160 years old, my grandfather gave it to me then past away 2 years later. It has been in my family for 5 generations.

[@trishabouma4071]

do you play it or is it just an heirloom?

[@williamgreene590]

Trisha Bouma I do play it from time to time but I prefer to use a newer one to keep from damaging it.

[@trishabouma4071]

William Greene that makes sense :) that's really amazing! it's really cool to have something like that in your family

[@gokulauri]

William Greene Bullshit

[@williamgreene590]

gokulauri nope

[@m.valdivia8048]

Lindsey's giggle at the 8:00 minute mark is so freaking adorable. 😃

[@kaileewalden3586]

+Michael Valdivia You can catch a lot more of her laughing on her behind the scenes channel, LindseyTime.

[@michaelchen2718]

I KNOW RIGHT

[@19billdong96]

"Its name is Excalibur" Reads title, afraid to watch on...

[@juliansantos6023]

I'm a ls fan

[@thatguy8648]

+Julian Santos an*

[@raefinoh1172]

same

[@Chickenbx]

When I saw him touch the bow hairs I almost cried. But she does have the hair replaced often so it actually isn't a big deal.

[@ApproachingAether]

Oh my gosh when she was like "the females pee on their tails and the male anatomy allows them to not pee on their tails" she got so quiet and shy and innocent and it was the cutest damn thing I have ever heard oh my GOSH I am so happy she is so CUTE

[@srinivasanmahabhashyam644]

Still waiting for the Rhett, link and Lindsey music video :(

[@ethyriu3042]

Me too...

[@CheckeredOwl]

+Srinivasan Mahabhashyam Yes please.

[@abjklmrsakagamiali1651]

same

[@tmack4697]

Omg... I was watching Rhett touch the bow and my first thought was "stop touching the hair, stop touching the hair, stop touching the hair."

[@squirrel_saloli]

Same

[@AndrewJCMedia]

Yeah that was putting me on edge the whole time he was doing that too.

[@greshamalec8180]

Me too!!! You never touch the hairs!!!

[@zyssica]

she didnt seem to mind though...

[@gabimartinez8862]

T Mack Right? My mind was like "No, the oils! THE OILS!"

[@blwnodaiy]

Links face right after she told him that it was 100 years old!!!

[@Smurmurmur]

I read the title and just went...Oooooh Link what did you do now. xD

[@Darksoul99995]

ikr

[@DominikLuger]

Who was Link looking at when he said "we all know who's in charge here"? Stevie?

[@s1Lence_au]

thought the same thing, someone please reply.

[@TheXtractor]

most likely cause she is the producer of the show I think :P

[@MrBradyTV]

How would anyone els know we are seeing the same thing you are

[@Coolwindjokerz]

He meant the illuminati

[@TheGovenor117]

Skylar Games What do you mean by producer? I thought she was just an intern.

[@WaterWolf.]

I'm a proud Stirlingite and Mythical Beast and this was just the greatest thing ever! It's so awesome when youtubers collab - especially when they happen to be your personal favourites! XD I absolutely loved the Earbiscuit with Lindsey as well! :) Haha, and Link's reaction after he heard Excalibur was over a 100 years old was just the greatest XD

[@hannahconroy]

Yes! This was such a great gmm! :) All three of them are so great! And it's fun to see them all interacting :)

[@WaterWolf.]

Definitely! ;) It really is! XD Lindsey talking about her violins: "...and the other one is a carbon fiber, like, metallic violin." Link: "I could throw that one" No Link, as sturdy as it sounds, I think Nero would be just as sad to be thrown across the room as Excalibur XD

[@garrett8707]

Name one thing Link broke . . . His dignity when he wore those tights.

[@dalalm1821]

no they were very nice I liked them

[@hank7281]

Have you never seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights?

[@garrett8707]

+Hank no but my brother has way too many times.

[@hank7281]

Garrett Gates You can never watch that film too many times.

[@hank7281]

... The sword from The Alchemist...

[@andin.8611]

Her laugh at 7:59 is sooooo cute!! It's a totally unexpected movement Link does and catches Lindsey so off guard it's funny!!!

[@lokidokie3174]

Three down to earth talented people right there! And the people behind the camera are great too :)

[@pnemonic]

still waiting for the next Rhett&Link music video, but featuring Lidsey would be da bomb.

[@hannahconroy]

Yes please!

[@razzmatazzle1736]

Being both a mythical beast and a huge Lindsey Stirling fan, this was a great GMM.

[@AngelofMusicization]

Lindsey is so polite, she NEVER yelled at them for touching her bow strings XD Link even STRUMMED them lol

[@LeslieTehuitzil]

Rhett and link should ask Penratonix to come to GMM!!!

[@Cinderpelt007]

Paused video at 4:10 and explained what rosin is: Rosin is dryed/hardened tree sap that sort of 'tunes' your bow. It make the sound quality better, you could say. It's very important to have. You put it on before you play, obviously. (I play viola so I know a lot of this stuff)

[@MetalForLife19087]

It was at 2:53 that Link knew, he fucked up

[@Crab.Ragoon]

Shes so cute! Her little lisp makes my heart melt.

[@sofiamorehead418]

4:53 - 5:01 PRICELESS

[@dalalm1821]

Hehehehhe

[@juliomontoya8824]

You cant imagine the smile in my face when I saw Lindsay in the thumbnail. I think she is my favorite artist and my inspiration for starting Violin classes.

[@blackroseofdeath9334]

Imagine trying to 'Plance' while playing a piano! XD

[@469ka37]

BlackRoseofDeath basically imagine Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis or Stevie Wonder and you have plancing with piano

[@natalietorres4370]

Link, I'm the same with my glasses! I use it for comfort and kind of like a mask. I feel incomplete without them!

[@tokagekobushi]

Link is never not creepy around attractive female guests.

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

I don't think it's that. Pay close attention to how Link acts immediately after any situation where he embarrasses himself. It's like he tries to recover from it by talking more and more until he just starts babbling. I think he embarrassed himself when he realized he was swinging a valuable antique violin around like it was a toy. After that, it's all downhill.

[@knightofglory5045]

+gjaddajg no, you that seems right though

[@FunSizeSpamberguesa]

I wouldn't call it creepy, just somewhat awkward.

[@plamentsvetanov]

I'm a classical musician with a masters degree in performing piano and I JUST LEARNED that for the bow only male horse hair is used. It's not the first time I learn something new from GMM, but it is the first time I've learned something which is actually in my field!

[@DigitalKurono]

I'm no violinist but I know what happens if you touch the hair of the bow... WHY!!!

[@yohomeys321]

It really isn't that bad, since she changes the hairs often. But, scientifically, if I cN recall correctly it's the oils on your hands that make it dirty, if touched often.

[@Aurora20]

+John Delasalas (Ragequitr2) The oils on your hands damage the hairs. It's very bad for it. If you absolutely need to touch it though do it with the back of your hand/wrist. There's not as much oils there(but obviously don't rub your wrist along it because that's just as bad as touching it).

[@02_Nman]

Always did like her energy and cheerfulness. Specially on this show. I should listen to her more.

[@givennamefamilyname514]

Anybody else miss the more intimate videos with just Rhett & Link? Like the competition videos & stuff? I just don't find these videos as enjoyable. I want more Will It's & games. But that's just me.

[@rebeccacoapman6764]

I agree

[@austinstone9574]

Me too like before now I've never even heard of this chick and she is irrelevant to the show

[@Draknalor186]

Yeah, me2

[@FrondomeCast]

They still do that, they just take the opportunity to have guests on their show. I'm glad they don't keep the same format all the time.

[@WafflesOWNz]

I actually got tired of the will it's.

[@georginashalome1753]

Am I the only one obsessed with Lindsay's hair??? I find it GORGEOUS!

[@Sarah-kd9gb]

OMG when Rhett was touching the bow hair I was like, "NOOO NO NO NO NO NO NO DONT DO THAT FORKIRVKENDNSM" ...I'm a violinist...everyone else probably has no idea why I'm so freaked out.

[@YouAreIgnorant]

Haha, I was thinking the same thing (as I also play the violin) she must not mind as much since she gets it re-haired pretty often.

[@squirrel_saloli]

Lol Me too... I play the viola

[@lovefor1d96]

I did the same thing. I used to play the violin.

[@iflipandtumble]

Plenty of violinists here...you're not alone! :)

[@Siderea]

Nah, if you read a bunch of the other comments a lot of other people were freaking out too. Idk much about violins at all, but I have heard that you're not allowed to touch the hairs since the oil from your skin gets soaked by the rosin right? And then it turns dark or something and then you can't play with it anymore so you have to get it re-haired? Correct me if I'm wrong. I just love the sounds of a violin though, very beautiful.

[@ChatPoke]

"We all know who's in charge here." HAHA Stevie!!

[@syedmonzareen5002]

I'll say it: I have a massive crush on Lindsey Stirling.

[@Bubberton]

rt

[@arctani]

Same

[@jojoerasquin4197]

crush is not the only massive thing i have for her. what? POTATOES man, potatoes. i happen to be a farmer. get your mind out of the gutter.

[@masongruss4473]

You guys must fight me for her.

[@syedmonzareen5002]

Mason Gruss *draws sword* EN GARDE!

[@jordanhansen9420]

Link said "I've been wanting to encourage that plant for a long time." It was awesome. :)

[@EngineerWhen]

I play the piano... I think I won't be able to plance...

[@ComAc201]

Keytar, perhaps?

[@EngineerWhen]

ComAc201 Nah, it's not the same...

[@ComAc201]

True, true. Sad part is, I play piano too. I feel you.

[@FelicityMayunami]

i feel you... the only other one i play is the chinese harp: guzheng, so im pretty much hopeless too

[@percabethisawesome1163]

Same Unless...keytar???? Idk what is that but i think I can do that

[@sydneygordon9177]

I 've been playing the violin for 6 years and my violin teacher is in the Phoenix Symphony and has a practice violin that is over 300 years old!

[@ginaheartscupcakes]

LINK DOn'T TOUCH THE BOW HAIR! I am cringing so hard.

[@ginaheartscupcakes]

STOP RHETT. LINK . I CAN'T WATCH

[@dovidsamuels5709]

ginaheartscupcakes Haha I was thinking the exact same thing! I guess if she rehairs every few weeks it would be okay. I thought it was only about every six months, but she probably goes through them like crazy.

[@maramsingapore4292]

Ohh gosh this is the best episode ever i love Lindsay she's soooo talented

[@hannahconroy]

Rhett!!!! Do not touch the bow hair!!! That's rule #2 of violin! (Number 1 is: don't throw the violin)

[@ksmit212121]

My violin is a hundred years old as well! Lindsay you are such an inspiration! I want to play the violin professionally.

[@Darklinkn2it]

Rhett: "Don't touch that either!" *proceeds to touch the hairs of the bow* Me: "Aaaaah! What are you doing?!"

[@Jennylapluff]

I thought I had read somewhere that Lindsey was a trained ballet dancer. I am even more impressed with her now! She seems like such a sweet person and her music is freaking awesome!

[@candidcalcifer]

'Define the verb rosin' XD Dying XD

[@BaltoAmy]

I knew what he was talking about.

[@chloemalcolm6447]

I play 17 instruments. Not all well, but still know them all at least basically. My main ones are cello (which is 113 years old), violin (which is 71 years old), viola (which is 34 years old), as well as harp (which is 156 years old). I can also play guitar, trombone, sax, piano, trumpet, piccolo, oboe, bass clarinet, clarinet, flute, recorder, harmonica, and bass. Some of these are also played electric, like guitar, bass,cello,violin, and harp.

[@ethyriu3042]

Wow. I can play a flute, clarinet, guitar, and piano. Does recorder and voice count?

[@ninjaahjumma]

The look of absolute fear in Link's face at 02:52 when Lindsey said that the Excalibur was a 100 years old was absolutely priceless.

[@jonrutland9488]

She's so beautiful and great personality! I love her!

[@Smurmurmur]

If you though the dancing was tough guys, try marching band! It's a whole lot harder than that! And Rhett when you started touching the bow hair I started yelling HANDS OFF THE HAIR DON'T TOUCH IT STOP!!!

[@saraherixson]

When Link says we all know who's in charge here.. his face!!! That was great hahahha.

[@darkfae420]

Pentatonix NEEDS to be on GMM ugh yes pleaseeeee

[@MrsPunkella]

+Duck Fayce I doubt that it's going to happen since they both have talked kind of badly about them in a previous GMMore. :( Especially Link.

[@darkfae420]

MrsMythical oh really? do you know what episode it was? wow

[@NerdxShark]

That video was not long enough. More. MOAR.

[@melomania2637]

As a musician my stomach curled for Lindsey when Link pretended to throw it. Learning that it was 100 years old only made it even worse.

[@humamt16]

She's such a sweetheart!

[@ShaoVideoProduction]

Me to the title: Excalibur? OMG the Violin! Link you......!

[@daddybliss3243]

One of your best shows! Thanks for stepping up your game with a fantastic guest and seriously funny content in the GMM video!

[@richs_6766]

That was awesome I didn't know Excalibur was 100 years old!!!

[@laurieowen8674]

Still enjoy the rare episode where they just talk. Like a cool drink on a hot day. I love all the games and competition but once and awhile like a break.

[@911Magnus]

Is it just me or does Lindsey Stirling look a little bit like Alyson Hannigan in profile?

[@TheNintendo12]

she was told about the resemblance in an interview but i cant remember which one

[@kayliehutson02859]

I think she looks like Jena Malone.

[@bradnimbus4836]

I thought the same thing!

[@laughingoctopus8556]

Yes, I was like "what? how they managed to get her on the show!?" then I read the name of the actual guest.

[@kevinluna2088]

I don't know who any of those people are.

[@kathrynjones9157]

I keep yelling at the screen saying stop touching the bow hair. But I'm so glad you guys got lindsey on gmm i love her songs shes amazing.

[@JayFoxFire]

Lol, if I was a guy, I would probably will have a crush on her. She's really talented from what I seen.

[@beast9068]

I miss these guys.. bring them back..

[@miewetkefust4983]

3:48 Inside my head I was just screaming "NOOOOO don't touch the horsehairs!!!" Trust me, I'm a violinist. DON'T TOUCH THE HAIRS!

[@paladinduck7198]

I have a feeling that every person that plays a stringed instrument was screaming that at their computer. I know I was...

[@squirrel_saloli]

I was like screaming at my screen...

[@lovefor1d96]

haha I did the exact same thing. I used to play the violin and I know it's a really bad idea to touch the horsehair. I made that mistake once and I learned my lesson from it.

[@bryanworkman3902]

i know look at her eyes each time he does it she looks at his fingers like >.>

[@kyore789]

Why not touch it?

[@kennethjensen3684]

I love her. She's awesome. A great guest for a great show. I also loved her Ear Biscuit!

[@kaitlyn8228]

I actually think Link doesn't look half bad with the blonde short hair lol

[@Rickity2345]

Yeah. Maybe just not that style.

[@natashalee2779]

true true, BUUUUT he doesn't look amazing XD

[@thedavidbeach]

hahahaha... ummm it makes him look a little like Barney Rubble.

[@haelrafei20]

I flinched every single time he touched the horsehair.

[@azuma6041]

Lindsey's reaction in the begining was of kinda funny!!!hehe!!

[@BnymnA]

Rhett broke Link's heart.

[@zoeymanae6325]

who else cringed when they touched the bow hairs

[@gurpreetsingh793]

I was like "Stahp Link Stahp, don't do that"

[@mattbwilde1]

zoeymanae me

[@xandriachrisman5960]

[@micahphilson]

Speaking of music videos... RHETT & LINK!!! Are you guys even working on one?!?!

[@rhonablue]

That cactus looks like a person with with huge arms that just wants the biggest hug in the world

[@universalkoala3644]

the cactus is groots cousin

[@universalkoala3644]

We are cactus

[@MrsFutureLaura]

Anyone else have a series of heart attacks when Rhett was touching the horsehair on the bow?

[@mohammadakhtar6274]

its 1 of the best gmm shows.thax rhett and link for providing it 2 us

[@Anthrows]

Now I know why you guys can take a month off at a time. 'Cos ya'll work so hard and deserve it. Way to hustle boys!

[@s1Lence_au]

?

[@williamgreene590]

They usally don't take that long off they took 2 weeks last time they went on vacation because they were spending time with their familys

[@Anthrows]

Well they deserve a month. What's your point?

[@williamgreene590]

Anthrows nothing I just said it wasn't a month

[@mrhaloman231]

I just love her, she's so sweet :)

[@wheatajoo]

They said they should have her in one of their music videos but they haven't done anything in almost 7 months

[@lewysfrancis5709]

Violin dubstep is the best live her so much

[@amandadube156]

rhett kinda looks like noel fielding in that get-up. (i guess anyone would...)

[@littlet551]

I'm sitting here laughing till I cry, and then I see Rhett touching the bow hair and i yell at the screen "NOT THE HAIR, ANYWHERE BUT THE HAIR!" so loud my mom walks in to see if I'm okay.

[@Travis7060312]

I'm going to guess Link looked at Stevie

[@carlosmaldonado1322]

my cello is 102 years old named him gunther hes from germany too hand made and i loved it grate sound...

[@meghanwalter9413]

I really wanted to yell at Rhett "TAKE YOUR FINGERS OFF THE BOW HAIRS!!"

[@paladinduck7198]

I know right!!!!!! I almost died. JUST STOP IT

[@jmiclovesyou]

While studying voice at a Conservatory, I used to take my music to the gym. If I could go through long phrases of art/opera music while on the elliptical or stairmaster, I could do it on stage. It was a great way to learn my music and get in shape!

[@maxkreeger1504]

Who else thinks the episodes, or at least the topics, are way funnier than last season's. I've been laughing a lot every episode!

[@sanju3397]

In this video Rhett's hair goes down and Link's hair goes up but they are still dashing!!!

[@mariehugs.7131]

Imidiate réaction when she said the violon was 100 years old XD

[@museofthepoets]

I'm a violinist and when I saw Rhett touching the horse hair I wanted to smack his hand!!!

[@coleebaker6362]

Did anyone else look at the title of this video and think "BAKAME!"?

[@excalibur2518]

"Fool!" Yes, I did.

[@coleebaker6362]

Lol

[@adamadamadam12]

I thought it was Bakaneii

[@jckeduponmtndew4593]

Just watched a Wendy's ad with you two in it and it is the only ad I have ever seen that was worth watching👍👍👍

[@RubbiDuckiLuci]

For the people busting their nuts over them touching the hairs... Chill. Just touching them the way they did will not do any damage. The reason you're not supposed to _constantly_ touch the hairs is because the oils on your hands will grease them up.

[@taboo7332]

They did touch the hairs constantly

[@AlieHarper]

Oh my goodness, as a violinist I am cringing at Rhett touching the horsehairs on her bow!!! ACK!

[@LawnBowlerUK]

I hear Australians are getting annoyed, so I'll change to Canada. I love you Canadians!

[@LawnBowlerUK]

***** You're welcome. But I still prefer Aussies. Sorry mate. :(

[@VitaliyKrivoruk]

She is so chill lol.

[@Firedragon0202]

Is this video loading for everyone else or is it taking 20 years like mine

[@caitlynm3525]

Yeah it is taking like 20 years for me too It is really annoying

[@jazminejazzy8643]

Yes

[@RandomBros88]

Jazmine Jazzy Works fine for me

[@ElizabethRolnick]

Excalibur. That is a great name for a fancy, 100 year old German violin!!! Love it!!!
