Tim Minchin - Dark Side (Awesome Version) | REACTION

[@Chumpess_X]

Tim Minchin is a genius…a literal genius. He’s been called a polymath, who are known to have an extremely high IQ. I don’t always agree with him on particular subjects, but I cannot deny the man is one of the most intelligent people alive today.

[@joed7691]

I love Tim Minchin! He is so talented. You wanted to know a bit about what got him into musical comedy. His song “Rock and Roll Nerd” gives a little insight into why.

[@WollisWorld]

Oh yeah thanks I’m on it

[@Anonymous-bk7fn]

I was about to suggest that too ! :)

[@jackwhitbread4583]

His documentary entitled the same gives even more insight

[@andyb1653]

This song is about like 17 things at the same time. While also being a joke. Best comedic song ever writ IMO. And one of the best piano solos in the history of the instrument too. Tim is so very under-rated.

[@Dr_KAP]

So this song was a response to Sony records who refused to give Tim a record deal because his music didn’t appeal to the “teenage audience”. He’s basically saying up yours to Sony, and that if the market wants “deep” he can be “deep” too! Tim is just such a thinker ! So ironic they didn’t find his music deep enough 😂

[@LeftUntilRight]

Great vibe dude, Tim is a funny guy for sure. seem to be an alright dude from what I've seen, and both you and him are spot on. Darkness sells. Funny how it goes like that. Peace dude, ill catch you in another of your vids.

[@carolcarol3938]

He's an Aussie! Tim is a genius..

[@jemxs]

Love this one so much, has it all. Love you got the "He's only sleeping", for some reason many don't connect that line with the daddy issues. Also the brooding voice was impersonating Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, who were a very dark band and the line from Jeremy was slipped in just to make sure! Epic song!

[@WollisWorld]

Very talented

[@wendycohen9038]

Have you noticed how Tim almost never looks at his hands? He is wicked in the best way.

[@WollisWorld]

He’s super talented

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Yes this is true, he only ever really looks at his hands when he's being really ambitious. Quite incredible for a person who's mostly self taught.

[@pmR32red]

Brilliant!👍

Tim is just the best. Thank you for reacting to him.

[@WollisWorld]

Thank you for watching

[@antivanti]

"Jeremy has spoken" is a reference to "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam

[@jeniballard8990]

Tim is a true genius. Did you know he cannot read music WOW. Thank you for your great content and also appreciating the talent! Jeni Australia xx

[@WollisWorld]

Most geniuses are like that

[@jackwhitbread4583]

You don't need to read music if you have great musicality as an artist, Pavarotti couldn't read music either but he's still one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century and could pick out an out of tune instrument in an entire orchestra in a heartbeat. All you need is musicality and passion and a commanding stage presence.

[@elthamborn5411]

Great reaction

[@tedkaboom2406]

There was a documentary that his next door neighbour made about his move from performing jingles in Fremantle in Western Australia to making a mark at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and then onto London. It’s very raw and honest and a great resource for some of his earlier work. I’m sure it’ll be on YT somewhere. It’s called “Rock ‘n Roll Nerd - The Time Minchin Story”, We’ll worth a watch

[@rattlesnakehaven]

Woohoo!! I got the first like! Ya know what I love? I love when a reviewer laughs instantly when Tim says, "Daddy never came to my ballgames." SO many people just don't get the point he's making at that moment. The ones who get it, laugh at that moment. Like you did.

[@WollisWorld]

I be listening for real lol that’s why

[@rattlesnakehaven]

@@WollisWorld yep. That"s why I'm watching!

[@PianoDiary85]

Hehe, yep, like he's trying to channel what little dark side he has, which isn't really dark at all.

[@WollisWorld]

Lol

[@jackwhitbread4583]

​@@PianoDiary85if you want dark try Tim's Angry (feet) lol.

[@cindyshawver9986]

My fav Tim song!!!.....thanks for doing it and i'm glad you liked it !!! 🤩😜😉

[@WollisWorld]

I did confessions and KZbin blocked it I’m waiting to see if they will release it

[@WollisWorld]

And thanks for watching

[@lennywalin-bates5410]

I really like your reactions to Tim Minchin. You get him and your comments are insightful. Keep on exploring Tim's work.

[@jeffstorey9147]

Tim covers a little of his origin story in “Rock and Roll Nerd” which is a great song too

[@NebraskaGonvilleJones]

Love your vibe and reactions, it’s dope:)

[@WollisWorld]

I appreciate that thank you so much

[@sarahthompson8702]

Confessions next

[@WollisWorld]

I got it coming out tomorrow stay tuned and thanks for watching

[@5356polaris]

The reason why he was taking the piss out of Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam (Impersonation and Jeremy has spoken), is because Tim was quite vocal about his distain for the whole Seattle grunge scene. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden etc..... in particular Eddie Vedder because of how seriously they and he took life.

[@ranahooke1907]

Tim Minchin is 🔥🔥🔥

[@EmulsionTime]

I was going to tell you that "Rock and Roll Nerd" is the story of what made him this way, but it looks like you've already reacted to it. Guess I know what I'm watching next!

[@WollisWorld]

Lol

[@WollisWorld]

Thanks for watching

[@stevesmith9285]

Gday mate. Great reactions. I recommend almost all of Tim’s comedic songs. You also seem like a bloke who may appreciate his acceptance speech from his uni. ‘9 life lessons UWA address’ Give it a look, can’t hurt. Keep up the good work mate 👍

[@julianaFinn]

No reactor seems to get the Pearl Jam reference but it gets me every time. This guy is just phenomenal 😂

[@WollisWorld]

Lol

[@davidburnett93]

Awesome Chanel mate. I'd dig it if you could get down with some more Aussie artists. Cold chisel is legendary Aussie band. I think you might like their song bow River. The live version is best

[@elthamborn5411]

He's self taught on the piano

[@jeniballard8990]

You asked how he got into this genre. There is a short doco on KZbin ‘Australian Story - Tim Minchin’ I would also suggest you watch his 9 lessons for life’ he is a genius ❤

[@antivanti]

If you want some background you should check out his song "Rock'n'roll Nerd"

[@Anonymous-bk7fn]

If you like critical thinking, you will love his beat poem 'Storm'.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

He did Storm already

[@davidcruse6589]

You know him as Tim Minchin I know him as Tim Bichin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's so deep He's 6 foot under 🥺🤔🦘🇦🇺👍

[@WollisWorld]

🤣🤣🤣

[@majorrsoul2466]

Power corrupts 🤙🇦🇺

[@WollisWorld]

Facts

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

I'd say it's a mix between power corrupting, and power attracting the (easily) corruptible.
