9:25 for 4 Chords

[@MadelieneCopeMusic]

Seeing them live, it's wonderful

[@0x0100]

The crowd is so dead it's upsetting.

[@Xtoffer87]

+HiImMoop mics just aren't receiving the crowd noise. turn the volume up and you'll actually hear them screaming.

[@0x0100]

M.K. Shiro ehh.i guess so.

[@user-sd7qt3hy8l]

+HiImMoop It's because they're used to shitty mainstream music and when real talented musicians are on stage they suffer from culture shock. If they were a shitty band lip syncing to shitty music the crowd would be fired up. It's all media programming. These musicians are extremely talented. They sing and play their own instruments!

[@Chihi101]

+HiImMoop eh, they're all troyler-shipping teenage girls

[@niamhkmcg]

They mute the crowd, they do it in the livestreams as well

[@Sproket]

1:45 "Clearly you can see that we are men" -Jordan He wasn't ready for the next plot twist...

[@Philipp_MS]

That didn't age too well

[@pxblito]

It wasn't a plot twist, he is clearly a man :v and he is still not ready for that...

[@Scarlettifity]

He's the love child of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. INSTANT FAVORITE hahahaha

[@Mooncinder]

I'm going to see them live in September and I can't wait! I love them!

[@jessicadunphy4260]

I was there and it was so amazing

[@alexevans1498]

Benny reminds me of an Australian Sean Lock

[@stijn5443]

They sing really good!

[@jordaaa]

Lee: By the cast of glee. Lmao

[@lewimillionzYT]

Who could ever forget. Sheldon cooper- jack black- and chicken little

[@tantejohan]

🤣

[@KnightOfSummer1995]

Good times when actually talented people came to fanfest.

[@935GuitarMaster]

Love that Buckethead Les Paul!!!

[@sv2370]

and she will be loveddddddd

[@samanthaeckels4396]

OKay so my music teacher showed my class and I this video and it was outstanding you guys really made a big point in music history people might not care that every song they listen to have 4 chords in it but who cares u guys made music open its eyes!!!!!!!!!!

[@kelseyplays2670]

Mine showed me 2 today and not many people were interested but i was amazed

[@samanthaeckels4396]

Yesss I know right. 😍

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

"We're a man band" Kinda ironic now considering Jordan...

[@Dementat]

I kinda think they'll probably make that same joke

[@patricksnavely7506]

Ain't that the truth... 😉

[@TurnAwayFilms]

Look at the facial expressions Jordan made. Obviously had feelings about saying that.

[@rexjace7938]

instablaster

[@Sarannefolkerts]

"lovechild of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy." i died

[@Birdieee-kn8zg]

You alive yet?

[@Sarannefolkerts]

@@Birdieee-kn8zg yeah, was revived last week, thanks

[@Birdieee-kn8zg]

@@Sarannefolkerts Yw.

[@MoonEnvoy]

It's rather impressive how many idiots think they're serious about the "cast of glee" thing

[@christopherjorissen5582]

Andrew Boyer yeah, Lee used to join it on to the end of Jordan saying Journey.

[@rickytickytabby9822]

This is sad. He didn't use the kazoo for MGMT Kids 😢

[@Mytelefe]

:(

[@nlrocket51]

I find it vary difficult to watch this version. You can see the guy rocking out on the guitar but not at any point can you actually hear the guitar.

[@NYPDWeatherman]

It is there, you just have listen very close. Its kind of buried

[@TheOfficialSniper916]

Is it just me, or this crowd is really dead?

[@George12String]

Yeah, bad crowd

[@JamieMoo]

Bunch of kids, they obviously cant appreciate this stuff

[@theotherwww]

I think the recording mics just aren't receiving the crowd noise

[@mariapagliero4326]

Sniper916 Is that they're not sexy nor young.

[@TheRedParallel]

+Sniper916 No, they just don't appreciate other acts that they're not aware of. Listen to when KZbinrs come on (especially Troye and Tyler), they don't stop fucking screaming at ANYthing they say. If they said "I did a poo today" they'd be like "OMFG WOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAME !!! YASS!!"

[@Zlangbartels]

Awww they took out Canvas Bags :(

[@MrDan1466]

If "Top Gear" met Australia and music, this would be the result...

[@videogamebuster]

i miss the kazoo

[@Chihi101]

was Benny having a bad day or was that the mike?

[@dimitrikoblovski2946]

11:18 if you want to shit your pants laughing

[@dimitrikoblovski2946]

how dare you not to play waltzing mathilda when you are in australia... :D

[@JamieMoo]

No Swagman or Canvas Bags in this one, awww

[@MeliKProductions]

Waltzing Matilda, you mean?

[@factsaroundtheworld123]

original version is the best definitely

[@Felms99]

The crowd is actually good. You can't hear them so loudly because the one who takes care of sound made a great job.

[@gownerjones]

It was also a really low-energy crowd

[@ericorr3461]

Did this not have "Can you feel the love tonight"? That was the best bit!

[@jackhammer3336]

lol i feel bad for Benny :p

[@zachdelkus]

Is the guitar plugged in?

[@ntcgyt3564]

Yeah it’s just using all three pickups im assuming so it’s a mushy underwater sound so it’s hard to pick it out in the smog

[@PatrickAllenNL]

I thought the small guy was the frontmen *then he gets ignored*

[@Phreestyle1]

He's the real talent of the band. It was luckiest day of their lives when they met Benny

[@paddyc4370]

They are indeed all men

[@indrajitindiketiya3113]

What r the 4 chords

[@corsairgamingyt]

OneAwesome guy G D Em C

[@jamescunningham.8294]

Jordan is cute.

[@real-grimeboi]

Gayyy!

[@maxpearson9234]

What's that song with the whistling? Always wondered.

[@NSB-me8fv]

Whistle Flo Rida

[@Al3xandfri3nds]

HES DOING IT WITHOUT THE KAZOO 13:34

[@gregoryeatroff8608]

I found the lack of profanity a bit off-putting.

[@takeru51]

Haha Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, so true...

[@nowvoyagerNE]

the how you write a love song: can anyone else hear a little "what does the fox say" in this song?

[@Lewis-jn1ou]

Peter Grifin opened this song

[@Lt.BunnyGirl]

Sorry, only see 1 1/2 men :)

[@novacommander4297]

*meaningless whisper*

[@tomweaver6324]

Buckethead Les Paul!!!

[@stevethea5250]

they kinda built like alvin and the chipmunks 7:54 in sync

[@MrTree]

There’s zero sound coming from that guitar.

[@ashleyp8148]

what are the actual chords?

[@Hilltophood96]

It's the key of C minor I'm pretty sure

[@usageunit]

I-V-vi-IV

[@arnoldinho.mp4]

The crowd is as dead as alan rickman

[@progamingmango1837]

Too soon

[@arnoldinho.mp4]

Ok, what about...... Paul walker?

[@progamingmango1837]

+xX-Me_Da_AwZoM-Xx maybe

[@jaybea365]

+xX-Me_Da_AwZoM-Xx Dead Alan Rickman is cooler then living you.

[@arnoldinho.mp4]

Ikr. I don't have any friends, they all hate me. My father is alcoholic, my mom is on a coma, what else can you ask for? My life is horrible and yours is good.

[@nickschroetes]

DID NO ONE ELSE SEE THE GUITARIST USING BUCKETHEADS SIGNATURE GUITAR

[@DontSigh]

turns out they weren't a man band after all :P

[@williamcunningham7149]

What's the 4 chords?

[@wemakehistory7]

First!!

[@anguswatson3664]

5th

[@durangimillawabandara6043]

Second

[@alunchurcher7060]

The four chords songs is why pop music is tedious and repetitive. Rock music do use four chords but loader and have more fun with them and add different chords thus making them not four chord crap.

[@MIloszKluski]

Oh great! More songs ruined by 4 chords...

[@spaghetti9845]

Must be awesome making $ performing the work and music created by others for profit while doing no writing of your own.

[@xLycaNinjax]

+Josh Roark They had to put it together in a smooth motion as well... They also make their own songs as well.

[@TheNorthie]

So like half of the bands today right?

[@colinbuchan6684]

You must not realise how many "top artists" of today do the same thing. They have writers who write their songs, sound engineers who make them sound better than they actually are, video production teams who make them look and perform better than they do and so on..

[@gizel4376]

they just expose it, no matter the writting, the only thing that matter is 4 chords, also, it look like a lot more work and creativity than the usual parody or cover we're used to see

[@klauskarlkraus]

don´t stop beliving by the cast of glee? is this a joke i didn´t get? i hope so. if he is serious please get off that stage and never ever go up there again

[@ELEMENT12000]

kinda obvious

[@ryanbraden8564]

Obviously he's joking. you should feel blessed you get to share the planet with these musical gods

[@klauskarlkraus]

Ryan Braden i have the highest respect for these guys don´t get me wrong.

[@merrypeary]

Don't Stop Believing BY THE CAST OF GLEE????? No it's NOT!!!! That a STEVE PERRY/JOURNEY song!!!

[@Sutokid]

+merrypeary in older video of 4 chord they said that don't stop believing is from Steve/journey

[@MoonEnvoy]

well, it's a joke. So calm down, they know.

[@dommychi]

+merrypeary Actually Lee said it's from the cast of g-lee, it's a joke XD

[@fmacias1]

+merrypeary Ever heard of JOKES? Duh!

[@Nat-iv5og]

The fact that there are 3 versions of this... Goes to show

[@SamuelDoherty]

4 actually
