Rock 'n Roll Nerd Tim Minchin

[@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!

[@SarahKaoruJames]

Absolutely genious

[@veravalderas4029]

listen to the song 'cont' it is soo good, people might start looking at you in a weird way if you play it in public :)

[@gemmaleighton3308]

Pure talented legend

[@lewiskincaid1]

[@FrazzlleG]

[@SophieBurrows97]

Is it only me who fucking loves his eyes? :3 Also, Tim, you are god with a piano :3 I WANT TO SE YOU LIVE :D

[@ginamcdonald7854]

His eyes are amazing! ❤️

[@tspoter]

12 years late but I agree, I love his kooky contact lenses and his girly mascara

[@ItsSoStevie]

Thanks for uploading, awesome.

[@maryjoysanderson]

wooaahh, his eyes are sooooo blue.

[@MikeyHarvey2K6]

[@ErinMairead17]

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

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

[@WoefullyEsoteric]

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

[@RedTrakor]

Same, one week seems so far away now

[@LeahSuzaAndTheWizard]

we love you so much! :')

[@mattgoulty]

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

[@gazlsos]

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

[@therampantbookworm]

tim has beautiful eyes

[@wiskimde]

those eyes! :)

[@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

[@Aruthapete]

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

[@nzkim1]

That was hot

[@iIsSquirrel]

Tim Minchin is so fucking awesome and talented e.O

[@inspiredfunk]

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

[@PolusAbyssus]

@CharlotteAndRachael correction: Messiah of the pianists

[@KingPecan]

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

[@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.

[@camtomlee]

Purple Shoes!

[@thommo9907]

@MidjettKiDx Today we remember Tim's sacrifice.

[@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.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@MidjettKiDx correction: God with a piano

[@eatmyrainbowfarts]

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

[@kieranGH]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: Chuck norris with a piano

[@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.

[@wazzamon]

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

[@ric41091]

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

[@Korphaus]

Probably some sort of EQ effect that has automated settings.

[@lilclerk]

That is totally me.

[@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

[@AiylaLive]

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

[@TheStwink]

What is the piano bit at the end?

[@StevesSwearBox]

@gazalaza1995 yes.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

I prefer this one, personally.

[@golfsaleriots]

50 seconds - The Crying Man?

[@AEQUITASTBS]

@gazalaza1995 Yes, it is:)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@MidjettKiDx]

Tim Minchin = Jesus with a piano

[@illfindoutful]

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

[@ringosis]

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

[@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

[@almeida0623]

0:53 Jamie Cullem?

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@Ashwykes Uh....Thanks

[@HarryCochrane111]

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

[@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.

[@gazalaza1995]

is this song about himself?

[@aaronrushton1]

tough crowd didnt you think?

[@wazzamon]

umm, is he not wearing shoes?

[@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

[@versatildoom]

i like how tim minchin always plays barefoot

[@ruroremy]

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

[@Jordanc940]

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

[@Aryadei]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction, Fucking brilliant atheist with a piano.

[@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!!!

[@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 ? ;)

[@Tawichi]

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

[@smileyfaceyou]

this is best 6:15 of my life

[@EDDYB31]

1.10 sexiest man alive.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

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

[@Jordanc940]

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

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

Its a different show, he sings it slightly differently.

[@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.

[@Gubbinsss]

correction: Chuck Norris with a piano

[@mrsjamescottage]

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

[@KiranBV]

@CharlotteAndRachael just flag them as spam :p

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@eatmyrainbowfarts No harm done

[@kingdodgearcane]

0 Dislikes... :D

[@WeAllLoveHomeVideos]

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

[@Northernmight]

Tror du? Det lyder fandme random.

[@OrinPosner]

@CharlotteAndRachael Correction: There is no God.

[@CharlotteAndRachael]

@ringosis i can't say that i disagree

[@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...

[@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...

[@F2anc]

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

[@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
