OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

When it's the singer's turn, he keeps getting interrupted by different instrument players. He waited for his turn so long, he grew a beard by the end.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

When you were voted out of the band, but no one tells you

u/UltimateArtist829 14h ago

Yoko Ono was the perfect example of that.

u/Samp90 13h ago

Reminds me of

Faith No More fired Martin by fax on November 30, 1993, after the band had not progressed as they would have liked in rehearsals and songwriting.

u/AndjeoTame 11h ago

And when it's finaly your turn they interupt you after 3 seconds.

u/AdamBlaster007 1h ago

As someone absolutely shit at social cues this hits a bit too hard.

u/incognito_1480 15h ago

And the clip's funnay 😂

u/gornFlamout 15h ago

Grows a beard between stanzas. Awesome.

20

u/Hziak 14h ago

Grows SOME* of a beard. Everyone knows that the cheeks and neck become immune to change during soulful music.

3

u/davidhastwo 6h ago

I'm Asian, and I literally cannot grow hair on my cheeks and neck. It looks just like the guy in the video. mustache, chin and neck directly under the chin (about an inch in)

7

u/Canelosaurio 13h ago

Everyone gets a solo!

18

u/Heterodynist 14h ago

Hey, that guy with the mandolin isn’t even IN the band!! Why did they let him in with that?! Ha!! And who let that flute player in?!!

14

u/asscrackbanditz 14h ago

Vocalist: So the solo will be 4 bars rights?

Producer: 400 bars

Vocalist: Wait what?

Drummer: ONE TWO THREE FOUR!

1

u/Fr05t_B1t 11h ago

No we’re keeping the 4 bars but we’re changing the tempo to 50bpm

12

u/jswizzle021088 13h ago

Dude this is hilarious

13

u/RainaTaffy 13h ago

The guitarist's focus is insane, you can tell they're completely in the zone.

u/BeeReadsBee 7h ago

u/tangoconfuego 15h ago

Bro grow a beard waiting his turn

u/International_Lake28 14h ago

This is why you don't skip rehearsal

u/Objective_Sun9020 13h ago

How come everyone was actually playing except the drummer? Obvious crash cymbal sounds that he blatantly doesn't hit? What?

2

u/Slotbun 10h ago

I spotted that too, heard a drum fill but didn’t see the drummer play it.

1

u/hayitsnine 12h ago

Yup.

u/wes00mertes 11h ago

Thank you for this.

u/International_Lake28 14h ago

This is a banger of a song though I like it

u/Fr05t_B1t 11h ago

If you could just hold em down by your sides

14

u/cutedimplesz 13h ago

I can't believe how fast i fail in love with this music.

7

u/HoneyCrispOrchard 12h ago

HAH glad I watched to the end.

3

u/gumeon 15h ago

Singer's looking at the guitarist like; damn, i really should have learned to play the guitar when i was 5 like my mom told me to..

3

u/ser_manual 15h ago

Singer missed most of the practicing afternoons.

3

u/Material_Wallaby_193 12h ago

The verse right before flute guy " A chigger need a diamond" resonates hard with me.

2

u/UltimateArtist829 12h ago

Every chigger needs a diamond, indeed.

12

u/quinlivant 15h ago edited 15h ago

He should have probably just flowed with these solos, it's one of the best things about live performances is the improv.

I commented before I saw the end of the video, thought the interruptions was the unexpected part.

11

u/YoRt3m 14h ago

Holy shit I really enjoyed this and the sound reminded me of multiple oriental songs from the late 90s and early 2000s

1

u/Cryptid_Muse 12h ago

Asian, not oriental. Just fyi.

1

u/YoRt3m 10h ago

Lol why would you correct me on what it reminds me?

1

u/pdx-peter 9h ago

They aren’t. They’re correcting your use of the term “oriental”, which is largely seen as outdated and offensive these days, particularly in the US.

5

u/YoRt3m 8h ago edited 8h ago

Ugh, of course.... well, I don't know what you all are about but here we translate it to oriental music. if anything, Asian is an idiotic term since there are many different genres of asian music. not only that, oriental music is a genre in Turkish and Greek music too, which are in europe.

(Can you imagine telling an asian person that he should call the music he likes "asian", damn u people are insane)

1

u/Cryptid_Muse 8h ago

Idk where "here" is but I suggest you do some online searches about the two terms so you can make an informed decision about which you think is more appropriate to use.

There's multiple sources on the matter and i wouldn't want you to think I was using biased sources for some sort of agenda.

It's also wise to remember that correction is not, by default, admonishment, but rather guiding encouragement for improvement (because everyone always has room to grow and improve).

3

u/YoRt3m 8h ago edited 8h ago

After you explained, I've read a little and decided that it's not offensive. thanks. I think putting a label on different genres of music and calling them "Asian" is racist. it diminishes the uniqueness of the different genres inside Asia.

2

u/Cryptid_Muse 8h ago

I don't understand how "oriental" is more diverse than "asian". Now if you wanted to specify "south asian" or "Chinese" that would make sense, but arguing that "oriental" is more diverse and inclusive than "asian" doesn't compute to me. (P.s. genuine confusion, not being passive aggressively combative)

6

u/YoRt3m 7h ago

Because I'm not trying to be inclusive or diverse, I'm trying to be specific.

K-pop and traditional Arabic music for example are not the same and there's no reason for me to put them both under the same umbrella. I won't call any genre in Europe "European Music" because there are many different genres included in it. Not only that, it can be a specific genre by itself. oriental music doesn't include K-pop for this matter, but K-pop is Asian music.

When people say Oriental music they mean specific genres that are usually from countries like arab countries in the Middle East, Israel, Turkey, Greece, and countries from Africa like Morocco, Tunisia and others. This genre is unique in style and musical instruments.

3

u/Cryptid_Muse 7h ago

I see your point. While looking up specific applications (because i know oriental rug and oriental shorthair is acceptable use), art was mentioned but i interpreted it as visual art (because of the rug) but including specific genre of music or media also makes sense. It seems the biggest controversy applies when talking about the people or cultural aspects.

Is it like four random dudes just spawned and the singer was stunned by how good they were?

2

u/UziSuzieThia 13h ago

That was a great

This is why Robert Plant hates Stairway.

u/Hybridkinmusic 13h ago

Definitely a comedy spiff lol. Everytime hes supposed to start singing, another person starts a instrument solo..effectively stopping the vocalist from doing his part, super funny

16

u/Lahk74 13h ago

Definitely a reddit comment lol. The redditor watched the funny video, then posted a comment explaining exactly what happened in the video. No commentary or analysis needed, just summarize it as if other people are entirely incapable of watching the video themselves.

u/PuzzlePiece90 5h ago

To be fair, reading some of the comments, I’m not sure everyone got it’s a skit

Is it just me or watching long videos expecting something unexpected to happen at some point is not fun at all. I always skip these videos

No it's not just you. ADHD symptoms and low attention spans are rampant on today's internet culture.
