In an exclusive interview with Handsome Tom, James Rolfe (AVGN) Angry Video Game Nerd, and Kyle Justin make sweet music together when James sings his own song.
@@VixXstazosJOB He left because he got tired of being a screenwave bitch. He Still does artwork occasionally for cinemassacre. Like that NES ninja game retro style video where he did the title card
The William Shatner "Rocket Man" reference was spot-on..you can tell James was embarrassed but didn't wanna disappoint and IMO he didn't. It was a genuine moment and that's what it's all about.
everyone got their own talents and james... don't sing again anymore! "what were they thinking?" XD. Your show is hilarious, and recently i discovered kyle justin's music thanks to your videos, and it's a wonderful music so thanks for your job :)
Imagine being a parent of AVGN and finding people in the street talking about this channel.
I'd be proud AF if he's my son
This hits different when James is the only OG left. Glad this was in recommendations
"The only OG left"...
Whatever happened to Mike? though

Before Justin Silverman ate them all
@@octagonseventynine1253 I haven't actually considered that factor. That makes a lot more sense, like a reverse "Cinnamon toast crunch" Chef situation
@@octagonseventynine1253 the boy has quite a large appetite
Fun fact: James was once in a metal band. And he's a badass guitarist!
Awesome
What's the name of James's band?
+Bodhi the Unreal Would love to see old videos of his band back in the day. James is a metalhead at heart, i do not doubt this for any reason.
Didn't he play the drums?
@@wtsyrdeal point to me the mention of james band on his wiki, I'll await your response.
Ive been watching AVGN sonce 2008. How have I never seen this 😢😢😢 its so nostalgic it makes me sad
The William Shatner "Rocket Man" reference was spot-on..you can tell James was embarrassed but didn't wanna disappoint and IMO he didn't. It was a genuine moment and that's what it's all about.
Shatner style!
James seems so nice in real life, lol. I'd love to meet him
AVGN Shatnered it!
I was gonna say that exact thing! It's fun to use "Shatner" as a verb.
Even AVGN's rival, the Nostalgia Critic, Shatnered Friday.
What? Where? Why? How?
AVGN sang ala Shatner.
He shat alright...
Why do I only see this now haha. It's awesome. Good times!
Love his dramatic singing
It's the Angry Video Game Shatner.
James Rolfe was the first bassist in Metallica
Q Jones Legit?
lol
James Rolfe McGovney?
Kind of a Lou Reed vibe.
I always wanted to hear him sing his own song! Love it
Back when there was still time.
Time to kill, no less!
Before the slobs.
It's actually 5:40 right now
JAMES ROLF
If singing like the lead singer from Cake is singing, then he did a pretty good job
I was 13 when this video came out. Time went crazy fast.
Right? I was 14.
hes already a legend in his own unique way in the gaming universe
He sure Shatnered the hell out of that!
James is really belting out the song with feeling! :D
They were so high.
in tears, absolutely beautiful singing.
Listening to him sing it brings a smile on my face :)
Lol, James didn't really "sing" XD.
But I would like it if he would sing it right, even when doesn't hit the tones, it sure would be funny :D
It's kinda like William shatter singing rocket man
He looked pretty shy and nervous at the time.
I think he's doing a William Shatner tribute!
They should record this version professionally.
The vocal stylings of Kyle Justin are always epic. How come he hasn't been signed yet?
Go James, continue to make us laugh!👍👍👍👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
and many years later he had his own cool metal band.
Good times all around.
haha I liked James' deadpan spoken version of his song. It's great to see James, Kyle and Handsome Tom together. What a great group :) Favorited.
This would be epic if this played over the opening credits of the James Rolfe Biopic!
So moving and poetic... XD
any one who still watch James 2018?
2024 and I'm still here 🤘😄
wow nice voice Nerd❤️️
The good old days when it was just 3 guys behind the videos not screenwave 😂
He just speaks the lyrics, which is the right thing to do. You don't make somebody sing who isn't used to it, the intention can only be ridicule.
MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE!!!!
Greatest interview ever!
he accually does seem pretty reserved about his personal life if youve seen his q and a sessions
Nerdie Shatner
Digging the perspective flip.
So awesome!
James is such a lovely guy.
that song is great
i didn't expect him to really shatner it up
He’s got that Shatner style of singing.
Edit: I typed that right before the guy in the video mentioned Shatner.
Nerdy Shatner - Angry Video Game Nerrrrrrd
why James is soooo coool??
Epicly awesome.
He aint singing, he's speak singing
So it sounds great. Better than what most ass hats call "singing". I'm looking at you Billy Eyelash
this made me smile
it was deliberate
Where can I find more stuff like this on the internet? Asking for a friend!
AWESOME
This is the first time I see James Rolfe not angry!
and it wasnt just that he did it first person
I'm pretty sure he could sing it he has a nice voice
Goes hard
James rocks!
what sort of person would dislike this?!
blessed video
awesome
james rolfe is amazing at doing those videos
he needs to be at a concert
DAMN IT!!! I thought he was gonna sing
all because he is my friend.
that is a kick ass video , but i would love to watch the interview , listen is good , but watch , is twice good.
Even though he more or less speaks it than sings it, it's still awesome! XD
This sound like the avgn theme if it was sung by lou reed
yes, just yes
He kept forgetting the words because he never plays the song anymore
I hope he sings the theme this way for the 100th episode!
rock on rolfe..play on play on.
First time I've seen this.
he was talk-singing
It would be cool if they do a version of this song like the William Shatner’s rocketman.
Oh my lord!!!! awesome lvl. 100!!!
Oh my god that's awesome.
i love James Rolfe.
AVGN ftw!
James and especially Kyle seem to be nice guys.
That was some high quality spoken word.
He should sing this in the end of avgn the movie!
I want to hear the Shat singing this song now
Epic.
maybe he will when his movie comes out.
HE SCREWED UP HIS OWN SONG!!!!
When music meets spoken word.
He's so shy but then again I would be if I had to sing that I would refuse to actually
AWESOME! He actually reminded me a Clint Eastwood, lol.
Nope, you're not the only one...
I wish he would actually try and sing it I bet it would sound awesome!
Ahaha! He's William Shatnering it! Awesome!
that was an awesome shattner parody
Jazz club......niiiice.
everyone got their own talents and james... don't sing again anymore! "what were they thinking?" XD. Your show is hilarious, and recently i discovered kyle justin's music thanks to your videos, and it's a wonderful music so thanks for your job :)
Some fanboy is now going to praise James for being the greatest singer of all-time.
James Rolfe your god!
James Rolfe new La Dispute singer
It's like Shatner singing Rocket Man!
