"That's when the strange music starts..." Got chills

[@KoneHeadGamingUK]

this will forever be the single coolest video on youtube

[@MikeKGullion]

What a beautiful, most perfect illustration. Hunter would be proud. Kudos to whoever the artist is.

[@MikeKGullion]

@@user-rv7nx7jy8b I was referring to the illustrator. Yes, Depp read it out loud, but who digitally created the cartoon?

[@fruitb4ts]

i'm seven years late but wow , if this isn't the sickest animation i've seen in a long time . you deserve way more views , friend

[@chillbeats4296]

Hunter s Thompson made it my life's work to pursue the edge, I will make it there someday

[@1173536]

We all do... eventually

[@GameyGaming]

That was awesome. Shame this hasn’t gotten more recognition. I wonder how many more hidden gems like this are out there.

*Incredible experience put into words for a motorcycle's edge on an endless road, under a boundless sky, sound waves piercing the darkness of a limitless ocean*

[@joshs2665]

beautiful words from one of the biggest inspirations to have floated around this earth

[@NotInTheGame]

one of my favorite animation on youtube

[@MW-hr8jd]

"And that's when the strange music starts" this reminds me of so many rides I had as a young man on some cheap, hairy old hack being pushed to its limits and beyond...."no room at all for mistakes"

[@sowyatt9739]

Transcendence... If you live you take risks. Life itself is a risk, death is secure. Taking risks is falling to the depth and rising to hights.... Amazing video ! Well done !

[@predalien1413]

Not when you ride both roads, that’s when boredom enters.

[@laubedunfou2848]

isn't this the best video.in youtube history ?

[@Smiff33]

Sharing with my motorcycle group. If you're out there, if you find the edge... I hope your strange music never ends.

[@MichaelJohnson-tm5ch]

This is an amazing homage to Hunter! Incredibly Gonzo style my friend. Love it all

[@morphmoprg4810]

after 8 years n still got 37k views.. this is a hidden masterpiece

[@CaptainVelveeta]

Those who are still living have actually been to the edge, just never over it.

[@1badombre82]

Yeah good point my man!

[@generaldom]

This is incredible. Well done.

I did not expect to find you here

[@loganburton3858]

Speaking from the point of view as someone who is completely obsessed with motorcycles I'm in love with this it really dives into the inner working of motorcycle maniacs mind hunter is a poet in this instance and I don't think many truly see this while watching

[@moneyshifters]

First thing that came to my head is how well he illustrated a night ride along the coast, fantastic author truly.

[@coreysautter1335]

This is from the full length documentary GONZO the life and work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. narrarated by Johnny Depp. film by Alex Gibney. a wonderful wonderful doc. it’s good to give credit where credit is due when posting something. anyway, thx for posting it.

[@coreysautter1335]

ah i see credit was given. my bad.

[@dominickcross2787]

This has criminaly low views for how good this is

[@ihappydawnz]

yea i just found this now wow

[@dcelement3959]

Absolutely gonzo. Awesome.

[@detinator5]

This deserves way more views. Seriously underrated. I like the animation style. Hunter would be impressed.

[@rajukumaraswamy7779]

Can't thank you enough for this!

[@crazykellywfo4240]

THAT WAS FUCKING COOL , HUNTER WOULD BE IMPRESSED.

[@aryanjawade6315]

just a second let me save this video to my THE GREATEST PLAYLIST

[@diamondjoe100]

Excellent 👍

[@PortCharmers]

Looks like other people's eyeballs are tougher than mine. The only time i reached 65mph without missing my goggles was when I was filled up with painkillers after a bout of lumbago. Good that the below 100mph music is pretty awesome, too.

[@213213yoyo]

I hope your lumbago gets better.

[@PortCharmers]

@@213213yoyo Sorry for the late answer, for some reason I was not notified about this reply. Thanks for asking, yes, it has.

I remember the Edge, as far back as the age of 4.

this is a pure and holy sermon for the sake of the motorcycle cult. hunter was goddamn treasure. buy a bike. get something old and cheap. work on it, love it, and “screw it on.” motorcycles and their maintenance are the best form of guided meditation.

[@thomasipkiss8793]

Is there a version of this where Depp reads the whole book?

[@pipsi]

what a drive

[@saketshankar78]

Why is no one talking about that this is actually johnny depps voice

Is this a metaphor for living on the edge? Always seeking adrenaline and the 'peace' it brings?

[@willd0g]

Is that narrated by Johnny Dep?

[@thomasipkiss8793]

What book? Is that Depp reading it?

[@ssam1337]

With all due respect... He did not invent "the edge", he is just smart and strong enough to describe it. Knowledge that very few can write down and people understand what he is talking about. Some people hail HST in similiar fashion as Timothy Leary supposed to be some sort of inventor if psychedelic expiriense itself. Leary was also a brave man to journey to those expirienses but you can trip without ever heard of him or hating him. As these sort of things are something everyone can go thru, its an individual expiriense but as a collective we can understand that those things are possible. So dont be the gatekeeper who is carrying Fear & Loathing and think that drug usage makes you special. Special people are special on drugs and off drugs. And a bit more darker... as I was interested on all kinds of beatnik stuff when I was a young adult. I was surprised how people in those circles dont want to see outside that box. For example questons of "matter of life and death", could you kill or be responsable for killing. Beatniks needed take care of there own security. Dealing with notorius parts of society can bring some heavy questons in mind. Some got guns, some got powerful friends, some kept on running and so on... Those philosophical questons are meaningful and not regular day things. Could you kill if its needed to keep yourself safe? We all wondered that when we were young. Time passed and did not want to use hard drugs or heavy drinking more. Then came my childhood favorite business and thats killing business. Military is a killing factory. Thats one of the main things. They even think about these things sober. They even had those silent nights when they tought about life, death, happiness, sorrow, is it all worth it... and I was like "nice, Ive been pondering these a lot". So I dont feel like I betrayed anyone. I feel like I did not betray myself and thats much more important than some drinking buddy who just dont want to "come down" ever. Calm, collective and highly efficient. I still have my notorius ways but they are not in confict with my health or business of "I promised my ear to some people who will never go over the edge" from time to time. So beatnik, hippies and selfclaimed rebels... get your head out of your ass. Otherwise have atleast a decent summer and dont make my time difficult or I will make yours.

[@johnny2550]

Anyone know the song?

[@jordil6152]

I’ve gone over the edge. It’s just a lot of terror and then blackness. You wake up after, but you’re never sure if you really woke up. Then again, maybe that’s just guilt talking.

[@martitinkovich4489]

Guilt over what?

This edge is not just curved, but moving, too. You can only guess where it is, and I don't think I really want to know exactly where it is.

@@PortCharmers how do you know what he is talking about? In terms of what he means by "The edge?"

@@r.a.8861 I don't, really. It's referring to a set of conditions that determine control over a motorcycle or the loss thereof. Come to think of it again, it's not even sharp enough to be called an "edge".
