Rock 'n Roll Nerd Tim Minchin

Rock 'n Roll Nerd by Tim Minchin, from the live dvd so f**king rock

[@darkhawk918]

What I find incredible about this song of Tim's is that although there is his usual comedy aspect to the song it's a rather deep and touching song about his life and his life in music. He is actually a fantastic musician and a great comedian. Great talent he's got there, I kind of envy him!

[@gemmaleighton3308]

Pure talented legend

[@SarahKaoruJames]

Absolutely genious

[@veravalderas4029]

[@ItsSoStevie]

[@WoefullyEsoteric]

i love this song because he seems to take it more seriously. It's a nice change. :)

[@therampantbookworm]

tim has beautiful eyes

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@ringosis lol, i agree. bowie and tim have thier own level so far up that most people cant see it

[@gazlsos]

@aaronrushton1 I'd be speechless too, with his awesomeness!

[@iIsSquirrel]

Tim Minchin is so fucking awesome and talented e.O

[@wiskimde]

[@RedTrakor]

Same, one week seems so far away now

[@nzkim1]

That was hot

[@MikeyHarvey2K6]

In Newcastle? I really wanted to go but only found out about it yesturday and im workin now :( I saw him at leeds fest like - was amazin!!

[@mattgoulty]

@ryanward65 ... i believe you mean LEGEND....

[@inspiredfunk]

This is a great auto-biogaphical piece of musical humour - incredibly talented pianist too (and yes, that is pianist)

[@lilclerk]

That is totally me.

[@ringosis]

@CharlotteAndRachael I wasn't comparing Bono to anyone specific. I just meant in general, from any point, it's always down to Bono's level.

[@AiylaLive]

this is guy is so f*cking cool...

[@camtomlee]

Purple Shoes!

[@eatmyrainbowfarts]

Correction: The DVD is called "So Live" how do I know this? I own it

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@Ashwykes Uh....Thanks

[@eatmyrainbowfarts]

@CharlotteAndRachael oh okay, i had just assumed because this was the only version of the song I could find with the same lighting effects ect, but now i listen the words are different to the australian one so yeah sorry my bad:P

[@Aruthapete]

What's with the vocal phaser?! don't rememebr that when I watched it on telly...

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

I prefer this one, personally.

[@StevesSwearBox]

@gazalaza1995 yes.

[@thommo9907]

@MidjettKiDx Today we remember Tim's sacrifice.

[@AEQUITASTBS]

@gazalaza1995 Yes, it is:)

[@wazzamon]

@charliesmakinme ah, thanks. iv'e never known :3

[@KingPecan]

@wazzamon That's his style. For one song he wore one boot... once...

[@SupermewX300]

This sounds like me. Quite a lot like me. And If I turn out to be an awesome comedian who plays funny songs and doesn't wear shoes I will be very happy with my life.

[@MidjettKiDx]

Tim Minchin = Jesus with a piano

[@TheStwink]

What is the piano bit at the end?

[@helenclarkson]

@aaronrushton1 I don't think the audience had a mic on them, during his stand up they're a bit more giggly. Plus this was before he was particularly big. But I do agree, I'd be crying with laughter

[@maryjoysanderson]

@MrGodders111 i know now, he says it at the start of one of his shows, bit of a let down ;D still love him, though.

[@Korphaus]

Probably some sort of EQ effect that has automated settings.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@eatmyrainbowfarts Thats the Australian one. This one is called So F**king Rock, it is the British version. How do I know this? I own it.

[@ringosis]

@ricochetfuzzy Yes, you definitely have to go down to get to Bono's level.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@MidjettKiDx correction: God with a piano

[@PolusAbyssus]

@CharlotteAndRachael correction: Messiah of the pianists

[@golfsaleriots]

50 seconds - The Crying Man?

[@kieranGH]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: Chuck norris with a piano

[@thecupdidit]

i still dont think hes a comedian but he's a bloody good musician with a sense of humour! x) would be nice to have a drink with him! x

[@smileyfaceyou]

this is best 6:15 of my life

[@0Fell0]

@therampantbookworm Sorrybto be the one to break this to you, but those are coloured contact lenses, he says in his opening song on the DVD :P

[@versatildoom]

i like how tim minchin always plays barefoot

[@helenclarkson]

The only good/effective/tasteful use of any green coloured gel in theatre I've seen aside from Wicked. And even that's a bit obvious... obviously. Especially since I work at that theatre, green normally doesn't look good. Oh, and FUCKING AWESOME SONG

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@illfindoutful I can't really remember why it annoyed me tbh, i think i was probably just in a bad mood when i saw it

[@holyhandgrenade3]

I'm pretty sure it's real but is that mic connected to a synth @3:30 to @4:15. His voice sounds so awesome and disjointed.

[@EDDYB31]

1.10 sexiest man alive.

[@illfindoutful]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction : He is not. That would be sad if Tim didn't believe in himself.

[@Tawichi]

Guys, guys... Flying spaghetti monster with a piano. C'mon.

[@Aryadei]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction, Fucking brilliant atheist with a piano.

[@charliesmakinme]

@wazzamon lol no... he never does... its because of nerves with one his early gigs, so he decided that he would wear no shoes so he could feel like the audience was in his lounge. Kinda like imagining the audience is naked.... but he strips himself instead lol ... now its habit..... he talks about it in his interview with Johnathan Ross if you're interested.

[@ruroremy]

Agreed. I still think that's the best version of the song. Shame too, as his voice is a lot better here.

[@ric41091]

@SamuraiAwesome You analysed tim minchin for english!?!?! what school!?!??

[@Jordanc940]

@sam123456789098 It's Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven. Brilliant song.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

Enough with the "Correction"s ..Over a year ago, that'll do

[@almeida0623]

0:53 Jamie Cullem?

[@HarryCochrane111]

@colonofcoca mate , i wasnt religiously challenging someone on a video , its not like on TheAmazingAtheist where the comments turn into a forum : /

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@eatmyrainbowfarts No harm done

[@bigfatrez]

his point isnt that gnr are better. its the fact they are more a more hard sounding out and out rock band rather than queen.this is what the song is about, that the person wants to be a rocker but at heart he just doesnt cut it. nothing to do with who is better which is a diff debate altogether!!!

[@gazalaza1995]

is this song about himself?

[@aaronrushton1]

tough crowd didnt you think?

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

Its a different show, he sings it slightly differently.

[@wazzamon]

umm, is he not wearing shoes?

[@Jordanc940]

@robbierules81 Likewise mate, Lol. Except I'm 17 ;D

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@ringosis i can't say that i disagree

[@Gubbinsss]

correction: Chuck Norris with a piano

[@OrinPosner]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: There is no God.

[@kingdodgearcane]

0 Dislikes... :D

[@KiranBV]

@CharlotteAndRachael just flag them as spam :p

[@illfindoutful]

@CharlotteAndRachael Oh, did we offend you with our more or less ironical corrections of your more or less successful atempt to make a joke ? ;)

[@mrsjamescottage]

11 years in a private school? Radiohead...?

[@Northernmight]

Tror du? Det lyder fandme random.

[@rhiannontalbot1]

If you haven't watched BGTs jon courtnenay please do. He has completely crossed the line between 'being inspired by' and straight up copying Tim, but still managing to write a shit song. He even sings about 'writing in 3rd person'. The fact he won the show honestly baffles me.

[@leah_bouzgarrou]

i’ve just watched that and i am honestly absolutely astounded by the similarity between that song and tims song. inspired my arse. more like he just took tims song and tried to make it his own.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

I am aware of that Tim is an atheist, i have been to see him several times, it is something we have in common... That was what is usually known as a joke...

[@WeAllLoveHomeVideos]

Dear 13 year-old me. Why did you spend money on Jonas Brothers CD's instead of Tim Minchin stuff ? -_-

[@F2anc]

@CharlotteAndRachael Tim is an athiest. So if he's God, then he doesn't believe in himself... man needs confidence. ;)

[@EncycloTube]

This version isn't really that great compared to the one on the Australian TV show where there are big black women with gospel vocals and an orchestra...

[@Thorne42]

Three people don't look good with their t-shirt off.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

I personally can't stand Bill Bailey, I don't think he is particularly talented and from what I've seen of him he is a very arrogant man. I actually know someone who met him on the street and she said he was really rude.

[@ambulocetusnatans]

Maybe so, but "Black Books" was pretty funny
