I saw AWK live right after The Wolf came out. Sincerely one of the best and most positive shows I've seen. I would pay to see him again without a moment's hesitation.
This is from 2009. After CCWBW and the whole debacle with the album not being released in the US for legal reasons. I think by this time he was in a weird limbo area where he was still AWK but also... not. Like the "character" of AWK was a legal issue. So we get little gems like this where he's not in character and he seems like a regular old bloke with a great interest in music. I wish we had more stuff like this.
(In response to “Name your current top 5 bands” the way he casually shrugs his shoulders and says “i couldn’t-“ and then clarifies“-I wouldn’t” reminds me of something George from Seinfeld would do.
It's kind of surreal thinking about Andrew W.K. as a normal person with opinions about things other than partying and the intensity with which it should be performed.
@@nickatwork Probably cycled onto steroids when he recorded his first 2 albums. This was him just taking it easy. Lots of touring musicians do a few rounds of t and hgh.
omg are you telling me that Andrew wk is actually a real person. like a human being, flesh and blood. i always assumed that he partied 24 7 and ate glass. come on people he has a stage persona most musicians do. you would be surprised to find that underneath the larger than life images on stage they're all just a bunch of big dorks.
How people couldn't see he was pulling her leg the entire time, is beyond me. Dead giveaway would be calling Labradford "complicated" or "math rock". It's chill AF ambience :P Probably why she seemed so disinterested the entire time, he was deadpan taking the piss all the way through :P
eh if you look online, some people consider them math rock. which is what he said. he never said he considers them as such. i think he was being genuine the whole time.
Andrew WK is one of the greatest trolls in history. I don't like the music of "Andrew WK" but I have to admire him for maintaining that public persona for nearly 12 years. It's sort of amazing that people continue to buy his act. He listens to bands like Labradford for Christ's sake.
Andrew WK is two different people. Consider the person in the video we're watching here, then consider this 👉ua-cam.com/video/R9iZUCoTQ4U/v-deo.html Then watch the "party hard" video, then watch early performances from his documentary (in the bars), look how large he is ua-cam.com/video/chOhWR9t8d8/v-deo.html, and then watch performances from his new album in 2021. Somehow the person performing is always the "larger" of the two. ... it's an Andy Kaufman-esk ruse. The joke's on you. "Khaki pants Andrew WK" is not the same person as "bloody nosed Andrew WK"... and that's the truth!
I honestly don't know. He does look very weird and unlike what he looks like now and what he looked like in the beginning. I honestly have no clue. But there is definitely something weird going on, or which has happened in the past. His voice here doesn't even sound like him.
He seems so calm... but he is one of the few that has mastered the ability of storing Party-Power in him for emergency uses
This looks like it was filmed in about 1998
It was
It certainly was not

Andrew WK is a complete enigma

seems like this is more of a character like hes trying to make fun of someone trying to own him by pretending hes actualy some white collar dude
What the hell thats not a white t shirt. He looks like a dad.

Andrew is so innocent yet knowledgeable. Such a cute personality.
It's amazing how open and well versed he is in music, I absolutely love it.
But he's never heard of Stevie B.?
bitch please.
@@Minotauro_di_Chietiditto. He knows little or nothing. He can't just answer
It's kind of surreal thinking about Andrew W.K. as a normal person with opinions about things other than partying and the intensity with which it should be performed.
No white tshirt and pants?! Blowing my mind!
God damn, can he just stop being such a nice guy!
People like him aren't suppose to exist!
yeah to you. He really wouldn’t like you.
Everybody has the right to exist and be whoever they want to be.
He doesn’t exist
Wow, Lungfish. So fun. Noisy and poetic.
Andrew WK out of character??
Andrew WK before working out more like it
@@nickatwork Probably cycled onto steroids when he recorded his first 2 albums. This was him just taking it easy. Lots of touring musicians do a few rounds of t and hgh.
This is Andrew 4
Nope
Yeah, where's his mid-west accent?
I wanna see Arin Hanson, Andrew W.K., and Dave Grohl all in the same room.
Lectro Dub lmaoooo
I MET THIS DUDE AT THE WARPED TOUR IN LIKE 2006 OR 2007. HE'S A REALLY GOOD DUDE .
holy shit. he isn't wearing white.
Tyler M. Thought the same.
I like it when this segment was framed in this way
Lungfish and LaBradford? Fuck yes.
I like him, seems like a decent geezer
I always feel overwhelmed when I go there lol its just so big. too many things to choose from.
His new album is so good ugh
That's awesome he likes Labradford !! Very under credited band.
He's just such a sweet and unassuming guy, I highly recommend watching the Trash Theory video about him, absolutely fascinating
First time I've ever seen him without his white shirt :o
andrew's such a sweet heart..
Andrew WK knows his stuff!
I'm sure one of the few people to successfully pull off the tucked in T-shirt look.
huh? sorry kid, but brando, dean, newman, deniro, keitel ... and an entire generation of working class men "tucked those t's".
We all pulled it off in the 90's.....
...and Jerry Seinfeld...
....and Kurt Cobain
the tucked in T, adorable
That Labradford record was equally impactful. Lovely to see.
DESTROY BUILD DESTROY !
I don't know, why, but I think it is awesome that Andrew WK loves Lungfish.
We need Andrew WK on Guest Grumps.
i bet he'd do it if he was in the mood and it sounded fun
Andrew W.K. - The most under the radar '90's noise musician in the history of noise music.
Record store amnesia. I have to write a list before I go otherwise I pace around for hours.
Probably the only guy who has played in To Live and Shave in L.A. to be on this series.
There is only one person in the world who speaks/articulates their words like this and that's the one and only Andrew W.K. !
dude Andrew WK is friggin awesome. I wish I got into his stuff in the beginning of his career. I wanna chill with him sometime
is he one of the guys that works on the howard stern show?
these videos are great for picking up interesting and good music, thanks.
i just checked out that labradford band. weird weird stuff.
Never pictured him as the type to tuck in his shirt.
Good lord I want to go to Amoeba records so badly. I'll settle for Grimey's in Nashville.
Best music store in Music City, USA.
Andrew WK likes Techno! What a legend.
I love him

I like him; genuine.
Not quite got the formula down back then Amoeba?
Haha he looks so different wearing anything but his Jean's and white t- shirt. He's quite the nerd. Gotta love it.
I wonder if they watched the movie(s) together ? ?
I have to say those dance music boxsets usually have some killer songs since a lot of well-known dj's use aliases on them
He seems like such a cool guy. . .
I feel the same way towards you as you do about Lungfish
He doesn't look the same without a beard and long hair O.o

Is that Helen Marnie from Ladytron or does she just have similar features?
oh my fuck, I need those Kenneth Anger compilations.
No you don’t .
That girl is awkwardly cute.
pointlessfailure reminds of bruce willis's foreign girlfriend from pulp fiction
With a Bruce Lee haircut....

Andrew WK is one of the greatest trolls in history. I don't like the music of "Andrew WK" but I have to admire him for maintaining that public persona for nearly 12 years. It's sort of amazing that people continue to buy his act. He listens to bands like Labradford for Christ's sake.
"so lets walk about" :]
he looks like egorapter also wtf that is not the andrew wk i knowplease tell me hes acting like that
he's just not partying at the moment. amoeba can't handle all that party energy in their store, so he decided to spare them.
what happen to his beard???
I bought that weird-looking CD in the background at 2:13! It was weird.
Hell yea lungfish!
is the girl a shy 13 year old in a womens body?
He’s literally in the coolest music store ever and cant find anything? That girl was pushing shit on him to help make up his mind haha!
Looks like a really nice guy
