I am not somecallmejohnny (OBVIOUSLY), nor am I Ubisoft, Grasshopper Interactive or Suda 51, the magnificent people behind this game. If you want to get this game, go here: www.amazon.com/No-More-Heroes-Desperate-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002BRZ9AG
I love that every performance of this song is accompanied by a ted talk about how much he hates this song.
Tbf the song's protagonist is absolutely revolting. I wouldn't wanna be associated with this kinda story, esp thinking abt how its gotta feel for the other person Can't help listening to this song though, it sounds too good, esp when Peter sings along
I probably owe John Darnielle hundreds of dollars by now for the sheer number of times I’ve seen this video… Thank god the internet is free cause I don’t got cash
Now the way I always understood this song as it was a third in a trio. I believe going to Bristol, Lebanon and this song were always connected infact it’s actually a direct trip Bristol is by the Virginia border in Tennessee and is about a woman leaving maybe even going to Georgia. Lebanon is almost a dream song the narrator is having about the women while driving through middle Tennessee leaving Bristol. And finally going to Georgia is the conclusion he found his woman he found her wherever she was and while it sounds creepy it’s oddly beautiful to me still true love finds you in the end after all yk?
“As a young male songwriter in 1993, I was good at being pathetic,” followed by fucking up the first line of the song, is so iconic to me
You are credit to team for re-uploading this.
I think that's the beauty of art. You're allowed to have your own interpretation. After my wife survived a stroke induced coma the line "...is that it's you, and that you're standing, in the doorway" took on a whole new level of significance for me. John, the young you may have imagined a misogynistic youth singing this song, but for many it is the exact opposite: it's a song about how the mere existence of another can give meaning to your own existence. You may be the author, but it's not your song anymore...
I never heard this song as misogynistic. Obviously JD wrote the song, so he knows the true meaning of it, but to me it always spoke of a guy who has reached some kind of breaking point and the woman (his girlfriend or wife) prevents him from doing something stupid by calming him and taking away the gun. It never sounded like he was going there to hurt her to prove his love or something. But music is subjective. So I can love it and he can hate it lol.
I kinda think that's the misogynistic part of it tho? He's not there to kill her because he loves her, he's there to hurt himself to prove his love for her, how much he needs her. What he would do without her. It sounds romantic, but it's a toxic codependent pattern many get into because of ideas of love. It gets misogynistic when it's a man shouldering all of his emotional bagage onto the woman he's supposed to love. Men making women pay for the consequences of their own toxicity. I do think it has some of the most beautiful mg lines written though.
Do you have Mathew 25:21 from this show? Please?
I'm sorry, but You must have mistaken this for another set. The show that this is clipped from (which is linked in the description) doesnt include that song.
@@jeffemerson60 sorry.
Sorry that it's one on my favorite songs. :(
How much he hates the song always ends up making it sound better bc he’s actually mad at something when singing jt
Remember SUDA51 took the back seat on NMH2 thats why the story is shit, but the gameplay is solid..
The Jasper Bat Jr. fight FUCKIN SSUUUCCCKS AND FUCK RYANS GYM!!
Shinobu segments are absolutely thee most ANNOYING sections in the game, hate them so much..
*DEVILISH LAUGHTER!
Hope he reviews nmh 3 now that its come out
happy launch day no more heroes 3!!! :3
John, here's sixty dollars, play it with hate!
I always thought the gun wasn't literal. Like coming home to someone you love after being miserable all day was as if a gun had been removed from your head. Him going on about how bad the song is was kind of counter intuitive
Shoutout to the psychopaths who related to this pov
Wow yeah that is the same chord progression and strum pattern as I thought you were cool... "Same 4 chords I use most of the time/ When I've got something on my mind" Indeed
Okay not exactly. The You Wee Cool progression is 1-5-6-4 (D Em A G) This is 1-5sus-4 (D-Asus-G) Does that matter? No. No it doesn’t. They create the same vibe. But it’s not exactly the same
even when he's actively fighting against the song he's singing this man still manages to preform it beautifully, love you john
Calling the cops on mentally ill people tends to end badly for everyone, John.
youre kinda slow
Ur a hero
This is my new favorite video in the world
Huh, I never had a problem with the strength sections.
love this video
Thank you for this video
john arguing with his song's narrator midsong is fucking fascinating
Oh that's right he uploaded this to his old blip.tv account because CZcams had an time limit at the time. Unfortunately blip was shut down and this review was though to be lost.
Well, it was never really lost, It was just for some strange reason people who had this video re-uploaded it to a bunch of sites that nobody uses like 4shared or Zippcast instead of youtube.
Where was this performance. I've watched the whole thing once and really enjoyed it but I don't remember where it was so I'm having trouble finding it.
I got the clip from this video at around 1:00:04 czcams.com/video/52qFvPyiJ3c/video.html
@@jeffemerson60 thanks
9:11 *BURN IN HELL*
I still feel like removing the open world was kinda lazy. Sure the open world wasn't great bit it had potential. I understand why though. They were rushed and didn't have time to add it
I love John, and I say this with the utmost respect: If his guitar was any lower, it would be in another hemisphere
One of the things I always loved about the Mountain Goats is that their lyrics are gender-neutral. So I was a little disappointed to see this one get retroactively gendered. Super cool performance though.
9:36 I forgot Johnny used to say “Warhog” instead of “Werehog” in his old reviews.
8:56 what’s wrong with Margaret? She was one of the highlights of NMH2.
Think it might be because she is more memorable for her design and song than her actual character.
@@LuigiaTV thank you her boss fight is pretty annoying her sniping you with explosive ammo like wtf??
I didn’t think the song was about the narrator killing the woman he loves. I thought it was about a man who wanted to kill himself. I thought it was a song where severe mental illness is juxtaposed to loving, intense music.
I always read the narrator as suicidal, not homicidal...?
You would be correct. But that's still hurting others.
@@dangshnizzle6929 yeah but people kept making me think it was homicide and I was confused!
The "grand gesture" JD often mentions is implying that the guy doesn't want to live if he can't be with the person at the door. By showing up with a gun, some part of you was supposed to take that as oddly romantic (it's ultimately not and everyone can agree on this I hope). I take the song now days as a fantasy playing in the driver's head as he's driving across the county line to the person they are trying to win back, which is how the song ends. You get to decide if the fantasy played out like it did in the narrators head.... or he got the cops called on his ass
@@dangshnizzle6929 oh the tone of the song makes me think it's 100% fantasy and dude is in a psych ward
Same
I PUNCHED OUT A WINDOW FOR YOU DEBBIE!
Damn. That right there shatters the illusion I held of this song. This never read as "I've got a gun, and I'm going to make you see how much I love you" before. To me it was someone coming to the rescue of someone at that perfect moment to save them. The gun was always against the narrators head when I listened. Not showing up at someone's house out of the blue with a guldurn fscking gun... Shit dude.
I read the narrator as suicidal as well. Even then dude, driving across states and putting that emotional burden on someone who has no choice is also all kinds of fucked up.
Exactly, I always read the narrator as suicidal
I think it's both tbh.
It can very well still be that way; the person in front of the narrator and their gun, however, does not need to be the one to intervene.
I still read it as a figurative gun... like he's in emotional distress and seeing the person he loves eases his pain... like fucking obviously that wasn't John Darnelle's intent but that's how I'm reading it damn it
This song is awesome
The fact that he can ad lib a comedic routine from a past song that he despises, and make it utterly remarkable, speaks to his talent as a musician and an artist.
Johnny: Oh, the ending sucks too. Me: He's gonna take you back to the past...
(11:29) No More Heroes 3 coming soon in 2020 baby!!!
It’s been moved to 2021 Smart call for them to jab at themselves of the release date... damn you 2020... 😓
Even singing a song he hates, he still gives 110%
The weird thing is he does not play it because he feels it is misogynistic but i know tons of women who love this song.
The insidious thing about misogyny is that it gets to women too, but it's still hurtful. As a young woman, my heart finds something "attractive" about the idea of being a carer, being the only one able to calm a guy, "save" him from himself or taming the beast he might be. But realistically, entering a relationship with the idea of saving the other one, or entering a relationship with the idea of being saved by the other makes for toxic relationships. The image of a girl smiling as she gently eases the gun from a guy's "two big hands" feels beautiful, but really it also makes for an incredibly traumatic event for the girl. But nevermind that, she is smiling.
@@Coeurlarme these are both good points, I think it's also valid for people to like the song- even do a cover of it- with a different interpretation of the song.
"Misogynistic garbage" One might say the same thing about lovemaking.
Ok, so what happens exactly at 1:17? Because that so random I couldn't help but laugh
The lost SGB review
I don't even know why he didn't upload it to youtube in the first place. He uploaded it to a different website like blip or something
@@TheFlyingJew13 It was back when YT had a time limit, and he didn't feel like splitting it. That's why it went to Blip.
