this song is the solution to life- no matter what happens in my life i will be able to watch this and feel completely content for 13 minutes. ahh so good, amazing

That would be incredible if the drummer started crashing cymbals and doing fills at the end when Butler was playing all intense

Probably one of the best guitar solos i have ever seen, and i must say that i have seen quite a few. Raw Talent mixed with Raw passion! Thats what is missing from most of our music these days. This guy is keeping the fire alive! BRAVO!!

man the crowd is... i want to say disrespectful. He is an amazing guitarist and they are sitting there talking and screaming while he is, most probably, saying something valuable.

i have seen him live all i can say is YES!!!!! im quite drunk and emo right now but what an artist

=D Thats good.

I got that you were being sarcastic. ;p

Lmao, damn i got like 6 thumbs downs... i didnt know it was THAT hard to tell sarcasm on the internet. Yeah if they STILL cant tell im being sarcastic they need either english 101 or comedy 101 =/

the best song i've ever heard

To the dumbasses that thumbs-downed this guy [reaperofgenocide]; if it wasn't obvious enough. HE'S BEING SARCASTIC.

the song's name is "OCEAN"

Too bad the crowds sooo loud in this vid.

it's about the music not the image

"imo he should learn to present himself a little better, he looks like a friggen hippy. " Because music is all about how you look. Its seeing what their wearing, not listening to what they play. Gosh where has my head gone.

maybe its just the camera being there in the crowd that makes them sound loud, but nevertheless this is by far the greatest guitar solo I've ever heard. anytime he plays this song its different from the last but means the same thing to him and is a showing of some REAL skill and talent that nobody but john can create. just WOW!

"Don't call me hippy cause the way that I look" thats from a John Butler Trio song called Treat Yo Mama... :)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh MAN iv had that feeling he has at about 10:15-you get SO PUMPED and into the music, and all of a sudden all you want to do is strum those chords as fast as possible :D:D awesome moment

is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I've heard quite a bit too. I wish my old friend could have heard it while he was around.

This song is called "ocean" if any of you didn't know....

I think this guy is a frikin legend he's rockin the gituar so damn good!!!i am stunned!!!and cant believe that someone got an idea like that!!!respect!!!!!

ya what the hell i mean like it would be cool to cheer for him and stuff but he's trying to tell them somthing and there all talking to each other and being ass holes

he is one...

i really like this version a lot. the crowd is a bit loud, which is weird, because i wouldnt expect people who are fans of his to be almost disrespectful during this song . . . i like the fact that every time he performs this, he changes it to mean something different. he's pretty cool that way, and the amazing guitar skills don't hurt the cause.

i seriously hope your joking or something...?

imo he should learn to present himself a little better, he looks like a friggen hippy.
