[@SonOfTheHenry]

I love how weird Thundercat is. He's not a charming "I want to be like him" kind of weird. He's just straight up weird.

[@VanIsleBC]

+Carter Henderson ya he reminds me of a neckbeard sort of

[@ihatethatwilguy]

He seems like a guy that watches lots of anime, adult swim and would name himself after an 80's cartoon.

[@willylink999]

Its Me, John Stamos I wanna be as weird as Thundercat. I at least want be able to tweet like him.

[@SonOfTheHenry]

vvvxavy yeah I'm definitely jealous of his tweets.

[@hahdhsjsjrkfn]

Carter He made me realize the distinction between being a total freak, and being just a freak.

[@kirkhart4545]

this dude just bought a record he is on

[@BenjerminGaye]

kirk hart it's like when kanye bumps 808's

[@marcobazan4187]

Just imagine Kanye on this, he'll just buy all his records

[@JackMicklemyer]

Easy promo dude he had too

[@spamsingles5948]

Plus the Suicidal Tendencies album in the background

[@megabugginout]

He so fuckin weird...lov it

[@sam4744]

I wish I was friends with Thundercat.

[@labotamysausagedog]

I too wish you were friends with Thundercat

[@sam4744]

thanks you :)

[@mkrules12]

me too

[@deathklok1231]

I wish I was friends with TC and FL

[@kennethfernandez4460]

Bob I wish I was your friend

[@valpergalit]

Seeing how musicians act in real life makes me appreciate their music so much more.

[@LinkMAK.]

yes

[@winterwarden]

if they nice and down to earth like this then yeah

[@jagshamesh91]

Damn Seth Macfarlane has a good voice

[@qmurec]

yeah, the decline of quality of family guy makes people forget what a gifted musician he really is. A worthy successor for Sinatry really.

[@XTRABIG]

I may have to pick up that CD

[@brendonstephen1246]

Damn, He not Ugly but This Brother Had a Whole ass Glow up

[@thomasfaraone4213]

He looks like he became his cooler older brother. This older thundercat is so dorky lol

[@StephanieV]

Absolutely. You don't have to be ugly to experience a glo-up, lol. This is what we call "evolving"!

[@StephanieV]

@Lolita La Negra I know I should mind my business but I have to say something: SIS, RUN. You don't find it strange that he literally attacked you for saying you've always found Thundercat to be sexy & called you a golddigger? He doesn't even know you but he still felt the need to project his feelings of inadequacy & failure onto you. Aside from all of that, the name "Misogynist Prime" is a massive red flag & he's living up to the title by harassing random women on KZbin. Just putting that out there, whether you take it or leave it is fully up to you.

[@StephanieV]

@Lolita La Negra I agree! But he has really come into his own in terms of style and fashion, so that's more so what I was referring to. It's been fascinating to watch over the years. He did a spread for GQ a few years ago and that's when it really started showing up. I don't want to comment too much on his body but he looks like he's lost weight & that may be a part of him taking more risks with fashion? That's an assumption on my part, so I could be wrong.

[@StephanieV]

@Lolita La Negra Of course! Peace to you, stay safe & healthy!

[@clapadamclap]

dudes real, no bullshit front, i like that.

[@wonderzofcloudn9ne]

when he pulled out that Flying Lotus...I about passed out.

[@linkplug6536]

What song was at 2:22?

[@wonderzofcloudn9ne]

+#LinkPlug its called Zodiac Sh--

[@linkplug6536]

+wonderzofcloudn9ne thanks so much

[@winterwarden]

I cannot help but feel that it is the greatest album of our generation.

[@calebcox8519]

this dude is fucking cool.

[@TheGoodMusicChannel]

He reminds me of will.i.am, only with Thundercat I actually like the music.

[@huzizach]

***** what's not to like about Bridging the Gap?

[@whustledilantro1378]

Its like almost literally impossible to find something to hate on with thundercat

[@popkiller5705]

People say Thundercat is weird but to me he's pretty normal

[@cragorichard]

hey fellow weirdo!

[@niamarwaha4060]

are u the joker

[@justyn457]

@@niamarwaha4060 no he's pop killer

[@Brooska]

I have a good friend that reminds of thundercat. Just someone i wanna be around. Good vibes and nothing else.

[@lerp5555]

It’s ok if you want to blow him.

[@Uniquethemateo7]

I like that he picks up Cosmogramma, which is the first time I ever heard him. This dude is straight up chill man.

[@amoeba]

Sonny Chiba made a career of fancy martial arts moves plucking out his opponent's body parts. His movies are a big inspiration for Quentin Tarantino (think of the scene in Kill Bill vol.2 where The Bride grabs Elle Driver's eye). He also had a part in Kill Bill vol.1 and some of these Street Fighter movies are mentioned in True Romance.

[@peterwall5539]

Amoeba vi

[@TomatoOtters]

Interesting... Didn't even know goblin had a vinyl

[@Kcoolin]

Just saw thundercat. So great, so many features. Like 3 hours

[@christophermunden116]

Love that there is a suicidal tendencies t shirt right in the background the entire time. I see what ya did there 😉

[@zenadyetejewelry]

"I'm gonna learn the entire movie verbatim, and never be able to quote it to anybody ever, because it's not funny." - MY LIFE AHHAHAHA

[@Beastify9pointO]

IvyProcrastinated favorite thing he said

[@terrypussypower]

"Chronicle" is the business!

[@HyperPiper]

"The more I watch Martin I think I mature inside every time..and then I don't" this dood😂 Thundercat will always be one of my favorites fo sho

[@Diggy22]

Dude, Chronicle is an awesome movie. And that toy store scene cracks me up. 😁

[@mcblahflooper94]

Wonder if he's high, just like this, nervous, or all. Regardless, love thundercat so much, he's saving music man

[@bono300vox]

i love this guy

[@a1axel738]

he was in that lotus album thoooo

[@SirRunk666]

Looks like a black JonTron.

[@bulletbelt97]

lol black JonTron how ironic.

[@666soccermom666]

JonTron song

[@SonOfTheHenry]

You're trying to tell me he didn't have a copy of Cosmogramma before this?

[@HypnoticHollywood]

Maybe he had the CD and not the vinyl, big difference.

[@domgreen1859]

Chronicle is a freaking amazing movie nice choice thunder, nice choice

[@longshot789]

Love you Thundcat!

[@amarcynuk8]

love this dude

[@miriammoore2135]

dude yes Seth macfarlane! I love his music. I went to his concert last year, so good

[@GaxalyHippo]

Flying Lotus is the best! Cosmogramma is such a great album

[@cd6356]

He goth a brilliant sense of humor.everything hè showed, is in his music and videoclips. And the combination of it ALL is just....Uniek👌🌠

[@paulphoenix1669]

i met him after a gig last August, and we talked about cannibal Holocaust which is apparently a favourite movie of his, much love

[@Zombbg4]

Once again great editing on this video!

[@ZombiTerrorizer]

What a nice dude :)

[@Sebvibevanse]

Jaime Canales absolute unit

[@riccardocuciniello2044]

Cosmogramma is a hell of an album

[@ss11111ss]

[@kimberlyshaw604]

He is awesome

[@sedecim]

I love this brothas complexity!

[@Eduard000F]

that scene gave me goosebumps 😨

[@smellsfishi]

i love watching this 5 years later n being like “ahh cosmogramma, i have cried to this”

[@Chancestodolak]

❤️ thundercat

[@ellblaek1032]

comparing working with lotus with extra sensory perception and adventure time omg

[@jeffprice4376]

"Just a whole night of fists and blood" We can all relate to that one.

[@egeneraltnf]

Man he sticks to the classics!

[@ConCitatoE]

Excellent picks. Jeesh! And.. THat would explain why Thundercat's sounds are always fresh. Cause he's all over the place. Some of the best musicians ARE!

[@Honorarkonsul1081]

+Emil Dee i don´t want to offend you and your taste. but he´s just another mainstream clown who pretends to be so involved in real indie music that people actually believe it.

[@ConCitatoE]

Right... I appreciate your thought of the comment, but I appreciate Thundercat because he is a RIDICULOUS musician. Some of his choices, I have in my collection already, so I found that pretty funny. And.. Unfortunately, he's NOT Mainstream. He's an Indie, grungy, around the way guy himself. Just my thoughts though.

[@Honorarkonsul1081]

+Emil Dee i see you are a very open minded person. really good. but come on. you are not indie, you are not grunge or something else when they nominate you for a grammy. that is not compatible. music industry got different plans for him, he 's not the first and you will know it for sure. cheers dude

[@ConCitatoE]

+Dr. Peter Venkman a.k.a Original Ad-Buster As someone with an artistic mind, you have to be. Again, you're correct. But... He's on his 3rd, soon to be 4th project.. He didn't win a Grammy on account of his personal projects, it was his bass funk on To Pimp a Butterfly. So I am happy for that win, but it's not for anything he, as a Indie.. Solo artist.. Has released. And, the industry does take listen, but he seems to be the same guy he was 4 years ago. Been playing bass, and composing just off the sure thrill of musicianship.

[@Honorarkonsul1081]

+Emil Dee i have no intentions convincing you NOT liking him anymore. that is your choice, your taste , your assesment of his skills. i completely respect that. you seem to be a young and pretty smart dude and iam convinced you will find better music in your life. just keep looking for it. peace

[@BoOm6000]

super impressed by seth

Awesome
