Tim Minchin: 'Rock and Roll Nerd' Live Session

[@hail_the_milkman8416]

Don't kill art, let Tim Minchin be heard.

[@HarryHodgman]

The last 30 seconds was great, I've seen a few versions of this song. This made me laugh most!

[@ozy4281]

why was all the swearing cut of who edited this

[@jessicaalyse7]

Ozy can you imagine if they tried to bleep out The Pope Song? You'd hear random words every minute or so, otherwise there'd be silence haha

[@StopForcingPlusOnUs]

He's superb! I need to see him some day

[@louloufriendlywelshdragon]

I heart you tim just a genius

[@soniabiddulph1622]

Love Tim,he's a genius

[@divasinger5]

What's with blocking the potty words? Not cool.

[@robyndean7064]

Tim Minchin will always be an rock 'n' roll nerd, YES!! *pumps fist*

[@MrVargatron]

Agreed, anyone who get's offended by just hearing a word simply doesn't understand the word in it's context and thus has clicked on a video wich is not meant for him/her. SO O2Academy pls don't become the next VEVO. Thnx a lot in advance. PS loooooooooove Tim Minchin

[@JoelBergmark]

Kick ass great!!

[@Brados1221]

Nice revised version. Tim is Jesus!

[@robyndean7064]

yes, Tim Minchin should come with a warning sticker; 'Is a funny ginger who is frequently awesome; not for the weak at heart'.

[@LasseNielsen93]

Yea, "The Pope Song" would be pretty boring if offensive words was muted...

[@MrMischiefter]

If this channel bleeps out words like 'bitch', it would have been hilarious if he'd performed The Pope Song for them.

[@MFTwotablesnotime]

I love this video. *sigh*

[@allisonbergh4429]

1:49 damn I love it when he fixes his hair

[@n20011892]

Is it me or are Tims eyes just as beautliful in black and white as they are in colour? Also the censoring to be honest i find unnecessary because when you look up a Tim Minchin video you know there is possibly offensive language in it. Ok on another note great pianist and singer. And this is beautifully shot!

[@laladieladada]

wtf, tim is censoring himself? he would never.. shame on you O2AcademyTV.

[@ApprovalJunkie]

Watch him live or buy the CD if you want unedited :p

[@DJSuicidalTendencies]

So Fucking Rock performance FTW.

[@Brunerzzzz]

@O2AcademyTV Try set up one with Ben Howard. You've done Tim, Frank, complete me and get him!!

[@MrHiddenMan]

@O2AcademyTV I know there's no-one who actually pay attention of this post, but is there any chance you could upload an unedited version. You could flag it as inappropriate for youngsters, forcing responsible adults who can handle the odd swear word (like myself) to sign in to view it.

[@MrMG2R]

Djeez... Artistical freedom. Ever heard of that term? People are too scared these days.

[@majorleaguefan]

he wears more makeup than me...and i like it :D

[@HerbPervy]

My opinion is that, nobody will click this song by accident, and if they don't know what to expect, they should view with an open mind instead of getting offended on the first viewing. Or perhaps, a warning before the song, rather than ruining the part for the adults who can actually not get offended by a song.

[@nescientia]

Why is this censored?

[@RobertoLublinerman]

Why on earth do you mute words in a song?

[@sansdeity3556]

Forget warnings, and everything else. It's fucking swear words. A properly raised child can hear profanity all the time and not use it in polite company, like the rest of us. Plus, the comments aren't censored, so yeah, they won't hear it in the video, but they can read it? Btw, I love this song. I love the intimate version here, but this song really benefits from an orchestral backing; the same can be said for Not Perfect.

[@mrichardson9042]

Interesting

[@LordFerret920]

What was the censored word? I'm bad at lip reading.

[@robyndean7064]

by the way, love the video; because everything is black and white; :) by the way people, calm down would you, just sing in the swear words when you're singing along, it's not the end of the world when you don't hear Tim swear. :D

[@Manny7326]

dont worry, we are the same now

[@darkridr25]

Just piping in on this issue: Will a child really spontaneously combust if he/she happens to hear a performer use some profanity? I don't know where you live, but where I come from most elementary schools use profanity at the playground these days....

[@MrFaceHead]

He has self esteem problems? He's one of the greatest blues/rock pianists on earth right now, and vocalist, and a global icon, amongst atheists mostly but still major respect.

[@MrMG2R]

You like him, but you mute the crap out of his song... Kinda hypocritical...

[@renketsuwarrior]

Censored? Really?

[@xretrovertigox]

Edited? Seriously?

[@VenusFreedom777]

alright it reminds me of Bill Gates taking Bono's guitar but all this irrelevant as compared to getting on with a Resource Based Economy--which is as scientific as it is spiritual--impossible? check it out zeitgeistmovieddotcom and watch zeitgeistmovingforward

[@Jerharris90]

Yes

[@shootBeforeIdo]

Ha I feel like a rock n roll nerd
