Nice to see youve genuinely found something that gets you in the deep funny, and it is a train wreck i gotta admit. Could you please explain what your show is about? Is it music? Is it a live podcast? 🤷🏼 Are you writing yet hawkins? 😁
I saw Corey live once quite a long time ago. It wasn't "good", but nothing weird happened. My band once played a show where literally zero people showed up and two employees quit that night, so we technically played to negative two people.
I roadied for Corey Feldman last year for 4 days in a row and can confirm he is not self aware enough to pull any of this stuff off on purpose. He doesn't have a stage manager or road manager that would take care of alot of the technical problems, and his band was either hired guns or other actors/friends so they weren't gonna call him on anything, and the repeated hitting the mic thing I believe is from him sticking to a rigid routine so if anything is a little different these accidents happen. You wouldn't believe the amount of WTF stories came out of those 4 days.
I went and saw him recently. It was everything I expected! They opened the doors 1 hour late for who knows what reason. Everybody was already super annoyed with it. He was only on stage half the time. He yelled about whoever helped set up the stage because “they didn’t tape down the rugs.” He then proceeded to get a roll of tape and do it himself. At the end of the show he bitched about how half the crowd left and said he would play 30 minutes past the curfew to thank the people that stayed. It was incredible.
It's not an act dude. He's not reinventing spinal tap. His lack of self-awareness is genuinely that astounding which makes it even that much more entertaining
I see lots of similarities with Dump lol Both narcissistic, both have a higher sense of who they are and their talents, both are surrounded by "Yes men" who stroke their fragile egos, both blame everyone but themselves for THEIR mistakes...it's kinda eerie😂
I sadly do not think that Cory Feldman is faking it. I think he really does suck this badly but is also very confident and these two things make this beautiful disaster that no one can turn away from.
I know can you imagine if he showed up with his hair not dyed without sunglasses telling everyone this was a piece of performance art... People would lose their minds!
Seriously! Corey has been acting since he was an infant. If you were to add up all the time he has spent on stage and screen, it would probably surpass that of Andy Kaufman
I’ve known people like #CoreyFeldman. This is the result of decades of excessive drug abuse and constantly being surrounded by people who never tell him no or tell him the truth about himself. & that completely depletes one’s sense of self-awareness. The result is someone who has literally no self-awareness whatsoever. It’s like the story of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’. And in his case, it’s just sad.
It's more like the result of a child that endured abuse, sexualization, and being introduced to drugs by people who should have been protecting him! And people wonder why he's so fucked up! With all of this Diddy shit coming out, he's not looking so crazy now, is he?
Having spent a significant amount of time with Corey back in 2017 on his "angels" tour, I can verify that it's definitely not an act. Everything is always someone else's fault. On that tour it was generally an issue with the sound guy at the venue. From cutting shows short, to constant whining on the tour bus (which was "cursed by Marilyn Manson"), to trying to stiff people that paid for meet and greets...the Corey experience isn't a fraud. Unfortunately.
@@madpriest7822 I've known Corey and played with him since 2005. Then around 2012 or so he started that whole weird Angels debacle which he brought on himself and ever since then it's just been in a death spiral. He is definitely putting on a show that he TRULY believes he is absolutely CRUSHING every musical bit. He would totally miss out on a part of a song because he thought his wardrobe change was more important. We had a golf company sponsoring us at the time(none of us golf) so he had the MOST RIDICULOUS outfits that had nothing to do with our show but he was required to wear them all. He would NEVER practice on his own but would instead use our rehearsals as HIS practice time. That's why everything is so chaotic, he always has new members instead of cancelling shows because of people quitting. He thinks it's the universe attacking him and that he needs to fight on through and fight the "negative" powers. Every time we tried to expose him to the fact he was being embarrassing he would attribute it to people wanting to take him down and then he would ostracize them and only keep the people that were telling him he was great around. That's why he's been so insulated from this whole "how can he not be self aware of this." It's because he purposely surrounds himself with people that tell him he's great and he LIVES in that bubble. Then we he performs outside of his comfort bubble he thinks everyone is attacking him but really it's just a dose or reality that he cannot bear so he avoids it. I don't think he's ever taken a lesson in anything and thinks it's still 1984 and that everyone he does is going to blow people away no matter how cringe it is in the real world. So he does put on a show, and he is that UNAWARE.
@robheskin that sounds pretty spot on fro. What I've seen over the years. Him playing into it being an act now is just him finally in a way admittedly understanding that this can only go so far and what everyone really thinks. Simply the bubbles been a bit deflated and instead of just hanging it up as a bad act and moving on is going to play it out into further chaos making it such, that people come for the bad and will try to save grace and really his ego by saying "it's all an act haha got ya, aren't I such a good actor" when really he tried his damndest wannabe mj pop fiasco only to be laughed at and is going to drag this to the bitterest of ends as a minstrel act of sorts to be laughed at. Corey is a strange product of his environment, Hollyweird California.
This is some brilliant stuff here. A dance tune, one can't dance to. This kind of brilliance my friend, transcends mere perspective. It mocks such pretense.
I once had a job doing 'live' sound for an Elvis impersonator. He sang over a CD and his wife/manager told me to keep his vocals low in the actual mix so the audience was mostly hearing the voice on the CD and keep his vocal high in monitors so he thought the audience was hearing him. Every show was a mess behind the scenes but we all tried to act like we were pros. It was a fun summer, actually.
You really are giving him far more credit than he deserves. The guy is such an egomaniac that he is incapable of self reflection or making fun of himself.
He's one of THE 80s pop culture icons, was legit amazing as a young actor, that can't be taken away from him whatever this other weirdness is all about 😂
My wife and I saw two of Corey's shows in the past year, and we had a fun time. There were no train wrecks in the set, per se... A good friend of ours used to play bass for him, and arranged for us to meet him after one of the shows. He was actually very cool to talk to, and hung out for a bit. He's an easy target for people to pick on, but our experiences were positive. If you're an 80's movie fan, I'd recommend the show. It's a fun night out.
I have also seen one of his concerts live. It was not exactly high caliber music or anything but I will say that it was just about the most genuine performance I’ve ever seen. And I agree, not a train wreck. It was a bit weird and all that but nothing “bad” happened.
When's the "gotcha, bitches!" moment coming? Because he's been at it since his Michael Jackson phase and that alone went on for YEARS and it was over 30 years ago.
Big jay oakerson and dan soder pondered the exact same thing about feldman on the bonfire, but came to the same conclusion- if this is an act, feldman is a genius of his generation, but theres no way it is 🤣
Imagine being a narcissist and a perfectionist, but also you suck and people only show up to laugh at you. I feel kind of bad for him. He was great in the Burbs.
When he bopped his mouth with the microphone, it appears that he stepped on the base of it causing it to thwack his sing-hole, it's the physics equivalent of stepping on a rake.
I have to wonder if Corey started out being genuine and oblivious to the embarrassing nature of his performances and then realized more and more people started coming to witness the cringe instead, so he started doing it more purposefully and now it's just an endless spiral of this hilarity.
Either that, or we are witnessing in real time what California Coastal Crack every day for 20 years does to a person. Something is wrong, and I think that's what it is.
Justin, it's not fake. He is deadly serious about all of this. Every time he is on some rinky-dink stage and the 75 people in the crowd are laughing at him, in his mind he's playing Wembley stadium and crushing it. The American comedy radio show The Bonfire has done the best job of covering Corey's utterly insane musical career. All of that stuff is up on UA-cam and is EXTREMELY funny. Especially since Corey is aware of it and hates them. He tried to ban them from coming to his NY show, but they just walked in anyway.
😂 well thanks to justin he now has a perfect opportunity to turn it around. I personally had never considered it being fake, but look what similar antics did for phoenix.
I saw him on the Today Show on NBC, and he either blew out his noggin' in the 80's or he's Andy Kaufman-ing pop rock (which died in the early 2000's). I think he started off with the issues, gained awerness, saw the reaction, and exacerbated the issues. But, Limp Bizkit has him as an opener for the first main ticket tour they've had in 20 years, and Durst is a big proponent of "cringe but good" with the music feel so...
This is like Corey just skipped the Rocker tutorial and went straight to the game. Didn't learn any of the buttons, storyline, how to operate in-game items, nothing. He just bought the Rock Star Ikea set and went about sticking little wooden nubs in oversized holes and hammering in screws.
Saw him at a Horror Convention in Niagara Falls Canada last month. Line up was huge to meet him. He was in full on studded leather jacket, big sunglasses and massive security guards.. everywhere he went, he had an entourage.. HAD to be part of the act... when we finally met him, he was super cool and was cool with everyone that got his autograph.
That's awesome. I'm glad he still keeps it real. I believe the fans are number one. I think people just want to hate autumn. Because he's being real and doing what he wants to do
@@marsy1480 not because he's a bad actor but because he seems to put every stereotype I ever disliked of the rock/metal scene back in the late 80s, early 90s into his performance. lol. I just can't watch that...
I'm not sure if this guy is just trolling us...? Or Corey is... if it's Corey then he's been doing this for quite a long time. Saw him live around 2005ish and thought the same thing. "He's got to be fcking with us."
He'll do anything for show business. If people are talking about you. Positive or negative. Doesn't matter. Being relevant is all that matters. I think he's decent dude, just doesn't know how to do anything else but entertain. So he will, by any means necessary@@Derek_1111
You know how there are people who will go to like baseball fantasy camp, they will spend a fortune just to pretend they’re a baseball player for a weekend. Corey has enough money to go to rock ‘n’ roll camp for the rest of his life. he’s paying to pretend he’s a rockstar. It’s effing fascinating
Hi Justin, just wanted to leave a note here from someone who came to you via the Ren-train, on which I hopped around 2017 or so, when my daughter first introduced me to his music. She was a huge fan, completely in love with him, his music, his talent. Then came the tsunami of reaction videos to "Hi Ren", and I discovered a new species of great humans, you among them. Ema died 2 years ago, she was only 22. I have withdrawn from most thing throughout the process, and YT has been a Windows I kept open to seek relief, to share in the amazement of this world when my own seemed just too heavy. Long stroy short : I saw you guys, the Darkness at Admiralspalast in Berlin a few weeks ago, and it has been such a great experience, also reconnecting me with my niece and family, and the energy and fun you bring to the stage is amazing. All this to say: thank you! The journey back to life is lined with lights that shine in the dark. It's good to see yours 🙏🦋😘
So sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you have been through. Your daughter was ahead of her time. She knew Ren was extremely talented back then. I'm sure she would be proud to see how far he's come. I also discovered Justin via Ren. I will admit that I am not a Darkness fan, but I have become a big fan of Justin via this channel. All the best to you.
Hang in there brother, we need you. There's something noble about suffering and although it seems unlikely at this moment, everything will have meaning at some stage of this, whatever this is
As someone who grew up in the 80s and loved Corey in the Goonies, Lost Boys and Stand By Me-- I really REALLY hope he is in on the joke. If not, I still wish him good things- dude has been through the wringer...
I often wonder if his Wringer is all he has made it out to be and that he doesnt use it to try and keep himself relevant. I think as a kid, he bought into how great everyone told him he was and honestly thinks he is, in anything he does, regardless.
Are you victim shaming? It's very hard to come out and talk about childhood abuse as it is. I only reported mine this year, at 48 because I had no support, no means to talk to anyone when I was young, I was so traumatised and have been left with Borderline Personality Disorder and CPTSD as a result of years of sexual abuse. Corey was in the system. In the machine. He knew what a risk it was to come out and disclose his abuse, which, by all accounts, sounds utterly horrific. Do I think he's lying? Not a chance. Believe the victims. Always. Unless proven otherwise. I won't get comeuppance for my cousin's crimes, in Scotland mountains of circumstantial evidence don't mean a thing unless there's corroboration from the time. Which, of course, there isn't. And I'm ok with that - I live in his head now, not the other way around.
@@juneeaglesham7146 No im not victim Shaming,because i dont think he was a victim. I think hes using Haims claims, to promote himself. im Bullshitter Shaming. I think Feldman is a narcissistic con artist, who is using the system. I could tell you stories of abuse that would make your head spin, but i dont use it and define myself by it.... Believe the victim? I think the me too movement, proved that stance debatable.. The way he strung it out, and still is, is evidence to my position.
@@Creeptoothstudioswell ….. a triumph for himself ….. That’s pretty obvious…but you might be mentally challenged so I’m not trying to throw any hate your way. But that being said….Are you hating on the fact that a child Hollywood star was able to make it out of a situation that most don’t? I’m just trying to figure out the purpose of your statement cause it seems purposeless if you exclude mediocrity
You are absolutely correct. Ive said it since the first planned trainwreck he presented. He is the ultimate Troll. To hear you call it out for what it is gives me hope that the population isnt that mentally challenged. The band always has the same issues, his frustrated outbursts and the same pissed routine he pulls where he is so pissed because nothing is going right. It's complete satire, and he has admitted it. You woukd never call out over the PA any issues like that.. Watch them all. You see the same shit every time. Corey is getting the last laugh, even though he sold his soul and has no shame.. No such thing as bad press. His name is still being mentioned and talked about.. A win for him and he knows it.
Modern wrestling drama is often rooted in the wrestlers as people - easier to sell a self-aggrandizing egotist if you're already a bit of a drama queen.
If you read all the allegations about him by his former angels and band members, you won't think he's some rational guy playing a part. If the allegations are all true, he needs to be in prison.
Dave Grohl chews gum and sings all the time and manages to be nothing less than perfect. But then, this is comparing a wannabe to a Rock God and CF falls nowhere near the status of DG. He can keep dreaming though😂 EDIT: Everyone seems to think I'm referencing Justin in my comment. TO BE CLEAR, FOR THE LAST TIME, I WAS NOT. I was referring to Feldman.
So glad you appeared on my feed. Glad you're helping to raise awareness. He is to blame for the SA of Corey Haim, who he took advantage of, and still wont let him rest in peace. Its a source of pain for his mum n she's asked him to stop mentioning her son n anything concerning him.
I recorded that footage at 12:45. He was a jerk to his crew, they started over, and it was so awkward. That was only the first 60 seconds. ...and I do believe it was real seeing it in person. The whole performance was wiiiild.
I ran FOH at a 200 cap venue in California where he headlined a gig. It was a whimsical disaster. Changeovers took forever, sound check went 4 hours over, doors opened 3 hours later, he had wardrobe changes that took a long time, he had like 8-10 changes. it was crazy. not to mention it just didn't sound or look good. but who knows. If that's the show then that's the show.
This is a lesson I've learned from performing live for a bit of time--Don't ever rip your sound guy/ light guy/ roadies from the stage during a show. They more than likely hate you anyways. They are the quickest way to make your show great or bad.
Band Dorothy wanted there guitar turned up mid set and the sound guy cranked that bad boy to maximum and you could hear nothing else but the guitar. Trust your people and don't mess with em lol
The FIRST thing I do when I show up to a venue is go make friends with the Sound & Stage crew. Smoke a joint, buy a shot, bring em something to eat....2nd thing is, make friends with head of Security. Especially if its a rough place
I have to disagree on one thing, I've been touring for many years (lighting director) & it's my experience that professionals don't typically work for artists they "hate"....they don't have to. People don't work years to become good at what they do just to be miserable & hate the artist. In 23yrs I've not known anyone to hate the artist they work for. If you don't like them, you don't except the gig.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned from my years in entertainment is that if something goes wrong during a performance, you just push forward and then worry about it after the show especially if there is another show following then you take a moment breathe and focus on what problem needs to be fixed. You don’t stop a show in the middle to yell at your light or sound people because this and the other is going wrong. Despite Corey being a child in a man’s body, which basically is what it all comes down to he has been in the business long enough to realize everything I said at the beginning of this post, bottom line this is just Corey once again playing the victim which he’s pretty much done his whole life. What’s even scarier is that people are actually paying money to go watch this because I’ve read comments praising him for this.
I totally agree. I've always said "if this (Corey Feldman's music and act) isn’t a satire about pop music and the music industry, a better satire could not be written". So I think it's a massive method act: it's so good though, most miss it. What proves it for me is this: everything that could go wrong during a live performance, goes wrong at every live performance: - Mistimed intros so the band have to start again - Wardrobe malfuctions - Microphones falling down - The background projector not working - Instruments not being plugged in - Lighting too bright/ too dark - The lead singer picking up a guitar/ the drum sticks and playing badly - Injuries due to trips/ collisions etc And during this, Feldman throws several diva tandrums... Definitely a satire...
The trouble is...if it's satire, where is his target audience?? The 50 people at his shows...? Cos he isn't getting paid for anything else. He's not getting money for all the secondary media that laugh at him (like this Utube video). And he hasn't made a movie in 30 years! The only money he makes these days are from tell all books about him &the other Corey getting scotch-taped... (hardly the type of thing to be promoted by "prank comedy"...
@@lueysixty-six7300 The tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of us who watch the cringe on the Internet are his target audience. And money? The guy is still stinking rich from his childhood acting days and has no doubt had financial hedge fund managers put the tens of millions of dollars he made into working investments, so he doesn't need the money.
The target audience is all of us that would appreciate the satire. Or those that don't but still pay attention even just to scoff. This isn't about the performance, or lack there of. But don't be fooled that no money is being made.
In order for it to be affective satire the audience at some point has to become aware of the fact that it is satire, otherwise it's pointless. It quickly becomes obvious that Spinal Tap is satire, this never becomes obvious.
@@frodobaggins7252that's why it's genius...Corey is ahead of spinal tap..he meets you in the middle and makes you confused, intrigued and wanting more
Watching Corey Feldman on stage is always worth a laugh. When it comes to music Corey is a perfect example of someone who’s trying too hard and failing all the way.
I did an event with Corey at my former job & at one point we were dancing while they played his new track & he kept poking me to ask what I thought about it while I was trying to dance. I finally had to treat him almost like you would a kid for him to stop trying to talk to me until my set was over. I honestly think that he is just trying very hard to do something he feels strongly about & isn’t making great choices, but I don’t think it’s intentional. He seemed like he genuinely loved & believed in what he was doing. Unfortunately, I think that there’s still people taking advantage of him, including some of his band members & of his entourage, but that he’s just not aware of it. Or if he is aware that some people are taking advantage of him just to get their 15 minutes of fame, it upsets him and rather than dealing with it, he just lets it slide. But I absolutely don’t think that any of this is intentional on his part.
If his band isn't called the Dunning Kruger Effect it's a real missed opportunity. This has the self awareness of a sovereign citizen putting his traffic stop on UA-cam.
I have massive depression and PTSD. So my mind goes to a dark and scary place sometimes. When I noticed that im drifting into that deep depression I legit look up Corey Feldman videos. Lol instantly my mind forgets all that bad shit and I laugh my ass off. I hope you are right and its just one big performance art thing. Because it is genius. My favorite movie growing up was Spinal Tap and you are so right comparing it to Corey. May God love and protect Corey Feldman. I dont know what Id do if he wasnt constantly in my feed either being a massive star ass. Or hurting himself in the middle of a "performance" lol.
Have similar issues myself bro and watching videos of him tonight is giving me fits of laughter which is very rare for me to experience. Sorry Corey but it’s good medicine for people like us lol
I saw Corey once when I attended a private Beastie Boys show at the Sundance Festival years and years ago. (I had to virtually beg, borrow, and steal in order to get my name on the list despite working for their label.) My friend was the one to recognize Corey first, but even then he had a couple of women with him and wore sunglasses inside as if to say, "hey...see these sunglasses I'm wearing...that means I am a "celebrity". You better recognize the greatness in front of you." We just laughed and as we walked down the stairs to the main level we literally ran into Dennis Quaid and his extremely young "girlfriend" walking up. Wouldn't ya know...he didn't seem to need sunglasses indoors...at night. hmmm...imagine that.
The reason (to me) that it doesn't appear to be fake would be due to the fact that I know a singer who very much acts the same. He believes 100% that what hes doing on stage is just the best entertainment you can watch and yet it's truly truly awful. The lack of self awareness or perhaps it's a behaviour disorder...who knows. People will feed it if they can get a laugh out of it or make money of it though of course.
This is NOT Spinal Tap! It’s like Spinal tap but not quite. I hope he’s acting & not seriously trying to be a professional musician. He is doing everything a real musician would do during sound check or rehearsal but never do during a live concert. So let’s hope he’s doing a satirical character inspired by spinal tap, intentionally playing a joke on the audience for the sake of comedy. I hope 🤞 Justins right about the acting 🎭 intended performance art . 😊
My friend saw him at a limp bizkit concert. She said it was terrible. The acting, singing, entertaining, guitar playing abilities, are non existent. I need a list of people who pay to see him. His “guitar solos” are terrible, I’ve seen cats with more talent.
I saw him in 2023 at the Diamond Music Hall in St Peter's Missouri. Place was packed, everyone had a good time, and Corey was 100% serious about his music. Do not hesitate to go see him. It is a wild time 😂
@kamon4931 if I would have said "this year" then people that read the comment next year and beyond would have been misled into thinking I had seen him in those years. That is how the internet works 🤣
@@gregc8483 yeah, because when a cyber Indiana Jones is reading this old data parchment years from now, you want him to have the facts exactly right, or else how will anyone truly believe the historic event ever took place? 😂
@@phil8528 I come from the future Phil and I appreciate Greg's comment. As does Corey Feldman who just headlined Wembley Stadium but forgot to turn up.
11:32 let me try to convince you it was accidental. Slow the vid to .25X. Watch from 11:32. He STEPS ON the mic stand which wobbles TOWARDS him causing the mic to lunge toward him by a good inch and a half which put his mouth in contact before he realized and it shocked him (not literally but emotionally). He was not expecting the mic to hit his lips like that because he had no idea he would step onto the base of the stand like that. It's real.
I think it’s 💯 legit. I knew a fella exactly like this. Could never get past the bad mix in his monitor, too much low’s/hi’s in his vocals, drummer counting the song in 2BPM’s too fast. Looking back, I think it was his insecurities about performing. SCARED TO DEATH to just perform and accept the results; good or bad. The antics (bitching about the lights/keyboard player) are just subconscious safety nets in case the show goes badly… something he can point his finger to afterwards vs taking any responsibility for the outcome.
great post I agree, you just go with it every show should be a little different anyway keep rolling mistake or not if you point out a big deal that's what your audience will remember.
At 12:42 the guy playing the part of the guitar player starts the skit with his guitar unplugged and messing up the vocals; thus causing the next hilarious scene! This shit is absolutely brilliant. I wish Siskel and Ebert could have been here to review this!
Corey performed at a Food Truck Rally in LA on his birthday back in 2008. I found myself in a surrounded by people laughing quietly so hard. Ive been hooked in awe ever since.
You give him a lot more credit than me. He seems like a real tool.I read about how his playboy bunny wife who is normally part of his act as his DJ became really sick and has chronic fatigue and wasn't able to tour with him this year and so all of a sudden he served her with divorce papers. He totally strikes me as the type of person who only wants a young hot wife as long as the relationship can benefit him in a transactional way - giving him cred by looking good on his arm and as a prop in his show just like his angles back up band, and if she's sick and it's going to cost him more than it's going to help him, the sickness and in health vow is null and void. All summer I kept getting paid suggested content pushed into my newsfeed on facebook and it was photo after photo of him backstage at different festivals, posing with established celebrities. None of these festivals were near me but every day I was getting some sort of Corey Feldman update and finding out what cool person he was hanging out with that day. I know he was paying a lot trying to get everyone to believe all these musicians are his buddies and people he hangs out with.
This isn't acting. He's completely oblivious. He also thinks he is Hugh Hefner. I know it's hard to believe, but if this is an act, he never breaks character even when he's on the toilet...alone.
I think you're on to something! Though I'd add Michael Jackson and a touch of Elvis into the mix! Man is a hot mess but I think he's having fun and who are we to rain on his parade? I'd pay mightily for a fraction of his oblivious-ness!! Jokes on us, I do believe!!
I've been a singer of several metal bands, and recorded a few albums. I have done countless live performances all over the world. I have never made mistakes like that live before ever . I've only hit myself once in rehearsal on a guitar and had to get 22 stitches on my forehead. I have performed drunker than Ozzy and on drugs, but never embarrassed myself like that.
Honestly, you just did. Or you should be, to publicly boast about performing drunker than Ozzy? And on drugs? That should be embarrassment enough, if you knew how drunk and out of control Ozzy really was. Maybe you were just never told how it was through the eyes of your audiences.
@@moonWraith13 I really don't think anybody today compares to the antics of Ozzy. He got banned from performing in San Antonio for peeing on The Alamo. He bit a live animal's head off during a photo shoot. Those are just a few examples. Nobody does that today. If so, what compares?
@@cjmiller6741 I don't know what to say to that other than, getting drunk on stage is awesome. Especially when you're 25 years old, living in a tour bus all day.
Justin, your brilliant use of the English language and your natural, deep, understanding of human bullshit is the reason why I listen to you. That and the coolness of the tunes.
For all the people jumping to his defense or jumping on his fraud, there is one thing that matters above all else. The interview put out I believe a year ago with an ex- angel who went on to explain the emotional abuse if they did not obey his "rules" and the random times when he would put something in one of their drinks, wait for them to pass out, and then do whatever he wanted. IF this is true, then he deserves the most massive dose of karma known to the universe.
I hear a lot of the "feel sorry for him" bit. I don't. We all go through heavy things. The tales of abuse towards those women on tour seem very credible and also disturbing. He's arrogant, whiny and just a complete douche. I realize most of those attending are doing it to see the shit show and have a laugh but I wish they wouldn't. It just serves to feed his ego and keep him around. He needs to go away. Rest and get his head straight.
He defends and emulates the most famous Pedophile of all, Michael Jackson....Simply because he never got his own ugly self touched by the man. Got no sympathy for him at all
I’ve got some talent but no belief… seeing someone with 0 talent and 100% belief is mystifying to me! Edit: should clarify I’m talking about Corey not Justin 😅
I’ve always operated on the assumption that it did start genuinely. But as time went by he’s just going along with the joke because he still gets to live the rock and roll dream. Dude still gets booked constantly. His videos go viral. He’s staying relevant and having a blast. We should all be so lucky.
OMG, it's Justin Hawkins from the Darkness, i can't believe you're here on UA-cam. I was at a pub recently and there was a guy singing, i told him he reminded me of you, then he told me he was in a Darkness cover band. It made sense as he could hit those notes, he ended the night with two of your songs. It was a great night. Anyway, it's super cool to see you here. I look forward to the video ❤
Whether he’s in on the joke or not, the truth is that Corey is bringing a lot of joy to a lot of people. Thanks for the classy and hilarious take Justin!
This is NOT Spinal Tap! It’s like Spinal tap but not quite. I hope he’s acting & not seriously trying to be a professional musician. He is doing everything a real musician would do during sound check or rehearsal but never do during a live concert. So let’s hope he’s doing a satirical character inspired by spinal tap, intentionally playing a joke on the audience for the sake of comedy. I hope 🤞 Justins right about the acting 🎭 intended performance art . 😊
I will say Coreys musical endeavors have brought me nothing but joy and entertainment. Its not for the reasons HE would like ...but the internet comedy is pure gold. Keep it coming comeback king! lol
One anecdote I heard about Feldman’s live show that makes me think it’s 100% real happened not too long ago. At a show here in Phoenix a local DJ attended the show and talked about how at one point he went to the bar to get a drink and the sax player was hanging out at the merch booth. While the show was going on 😂
If you truly want to see Corey Feldman in his musical element, revisit his performance on Howard Stern where he battles against Howard's band. You truly see how bitter he is not being accepted as a musician. He also had all that time with Michael Jackson back in the day, and I'm sure he witnessed M.J. become a diva during rehearsals and performances. Following in his footsteps quite literally.
It’s 100% real. He’s only known showbiz, no one around him says ‘no’, or ‘you need to practise more’. It’s made him lazy and unaware. Seems like a decent guy though…maybe
Love the Feldman coverage. I actually saw Corey live. I believe it was his 30th birthday. Yes, he performed. It was awesome; if awesome meant horrible.
I saw him perform in the town where they filmed The Goonies. It was such a surreal gig and at one point Sean Astin came out to auction off a guitar. I didn't really understand why I loved it so much until I'd seen a few Neil Breen movies, then it all made sense.
This is the real self important, self aware Corey. He’s far far from an elite performance artist. rather an artist who believes he’s elite. It’s a real car crash that spinal tap must be in awe of.
This is NOT Spinal Tap! It’s like Spinal tap but not quite. I hope he’s acting & not seriously trying to be a professional musician. He is doing everything a real musician would do during sound check or rehearsal but never do during a live concert. So let’s hope he’s doing a satirical character inspired by spinal tap, intentionally playing a joke on the audience for the sake of comedy.

More specifically what fame does to children. I've worked with kids who have peed themselves on set because they messed up, and were afraid of the parental consequences. I've seen small children on a job have parents that could not shut up about how their child was going to be a millionaire and known all over the world. The child has no understanding that this is a hope, and not simply one of many possibilities. These kids buy in 1000% and behave like show dogs that cannot turn off! or have a genuine interaction because it's always SHOWTIME! These are Kids I have never heard of since working with them. Being told all these fantastical stories about your worth is damaging in and of itself during the developmental years... But if you halfway make it, or don't make it at all... You have no self to inhabit outside of this vacuum created by adults. This is who Corey believes he truly is and I believe this is why he fights so hard for legitimacy. He has been raised as a one-dimensional person. And trust me, when parents and handlers want a piece of your success, it is no different than indoctrinating a young mind into a cult. Add to that the child abuse he suffered. This is the only story he knows, and is very much trapped by it. Regardless of what happens, I hope he finds more success and gets the validation he desperately needs.

@@jeffmunkynutz1568 It's this entire youtube channel, but LIVE on stage.
@@DanFedMusic I'd just given up cigarettes. I was struggling.
I saw Corey live once quite a long time ago. It wasn't "good", but nothing weird happened. My band once played a show where literally zero people showed up and two employees quit that night, so we technically played to negative two people.
We all as musicians have our Spinal Tap moments!!! You made me laugh!!🤪🤪🤪❤️
Been there! Lol
That's incredible
🤣 😂
That's funny
I roadied for Corey Feldman last year for 4 days in a row and can confirm he is not self aware enough to pull any of this stuff off on purpose. He doesn't have a stage manager or road manager that would take care of alot of the technical problems, and his band was either hired guns or other actors/friends so they weren't gonna call him on anything, and the repeated hitting the mic thing I believe is from him sticking to a rigid routine so if anything is a little different these accidents happen. You wouldn't believe the amount of WTF stories came out of those 4 days.
That is exactly what I thought
Spill some tea 😂
Thanks for not sharing.
I bet I would believe it. Do tell
...story??? go
I went and saw him recently. It was everything I expected! They opened the doors 1 hour late for who knows what reason. Everybody was already super annoyed with it. He was only on stage half the time. He yelled about whoever helped set up the stage because “they didn’t tape down the rugs.” He then proceeded to get a roll of tape and do it himself. At the end of the show he bitched about how half the crowd left and said he would play 30 minutes past the curfew to thank the people that stayed. It was incredible.
That sounds like a complicated piece of performance art
Gaff tape...No one uses duct tape on stage, always gaffers tape... Period
@@Jayson-tt3qoand if they had done it, he wouldn't have had to do it. You know, it almost sounds like the antics of early punk music.

It's not an act dude. He's not reinventing spinal tap. His lack of self-awareness is genuinely that astounding which makes it even that much more entertaining

I sadly do not think that Cory Feldman is faking it. I think he really does suck this badly but is also very confident and these two things make this beautiful disaster that no one can turn away from.

*Andy. I loved him on Taxi...but his comedy was NOT in my wheelhouse!*
haven't seen any of this corey footage before, but a few minutes into this i was thinking "he's pulling an andy kaufman..."
Seriously! Corey has been acting since he was an infant. If you were to add up all the time he has spent on stage and screen, it would probably surpass that of Andy Kaufman
I’ve known people like #CoreyFeldman. This is the result of decades of excessive drug abuse and constantly being surrounded by people who never tell him no or tell him the truth about himself. & that completely depletes one’s sense of self-awareness. The result is someone who has literally no self-awareness whatsoever. It’s like the story of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’. And in his case, it’s just sad.
It's more like the result of a child that endured abuse, sexualization, and being introduced to drugs by people who should have been protecting him! And people wonder why he's so fucked up! With all of this Diddy shit coming out, he's not looking so crazy now, is he?
Having spent a significant amount of time with Corey back in 2017 on his "angels" tour, I can verify that it's definitely not an act. Everything is always someone else's fault. On that tour it was generally an issue with the sound guy at the venue. From cutting shows short, to constant whining on the tour bus (which was "cursed by Marilyn Manson"), to trying to stiff people that paid for meet and greets...the Corey experience isn't a fraud. Unfortunately.
So Sad but I believe it's True.
Okay. So then why use a bus that you believe to be cursed by M n M? Is there a reason? Is it cursed to like stay with Corey forever? Or what?
@@soulstorm8806 lmfao
You couldn't get enough of Corey in real life, stuck on a bus so you relive the glory days on youtube?

Corey Feldman is from 35 years ago. He wasn’t on UA-cam in the early days.
What are you even talking about?
Having been a guitar player for Corey Feldman for a 2010 tour and many other shows I can assure you it's both.
Details, please, if you can. What is going on with him?
More details please
@@madpriest7822 I've known Corey and played with him since 2005. Then around 2012 or so he started that whole weird Angels debacle which he brought on himself and ever since then it's just been in a death spiral. He is definitely putting on a show that he TRULY believes he is absolutely CRUSHING every musical bit. He would totally miss out on a part of a song because he thought his wardrobe change was more important. We had a golf company sponsoring us at the time(none of us golf) so he had the MOST RIDICULOUS outfits that had nothing to do with our show but he was required to wear them all. He would NEVER practice on his own but would instead use our rehearsals as HIS practice time. That's why everything is so chaotic, he always has new members instead of cancelling shows because of people quitting. He thinks it's the universe attacking him and that he needs to fight on through and fight the "negative" powers.
Every time we tried to expose him to the fact he was being embarrassing he would attribute it to people wanting to take him down and then he would ostracize them and only keep the people that were telling him he was great around. That's why he's been so insulated from this whole "how can he not be self aware of this." It's because he purposely surrounds himself with people that tell him he's great and he LIVES in that bubble. Then we he performs outside of his comfort bubble he thinks everyone is attacking him but really it's just a dose or reality that he cannot bear so he avoids it. I don't think he's ever taken a lesson in anything and thinks it's still 1984 and that everyone he does is going to blow people away no matter how cringe it is in the real world. So he does put on a show, and he is that UNAWARE.
@robheskin that sounds pretty spot on fro. What I've seen over the years. Him playing into it being an act now is just him finally in a way admittedly understanding that this can only go so far and what everyone really thinks. Simply the bubbles been a bit deflated and instead of just hanging it up as a bad act and moving on is going to play it out into further chaos making it such, that people come for the bad and will try to save grace and really his ego by saying "it's all an act haha got ya, aren't I such a good actor" when really he tried his damndest wannabe mj pop fiasco only to be laughed at and is going to drag this to the bitterest of ends as a minstrel act of sorts to be laughed at. Corey is a strange product of his environment, Hollyweird California.
Wow
Corey is NOT trolling or doing performance art! Which is even more mind blowing than acting! Either way it's truly astounding.
This is some brilliant stuff here. A dance tune, one can't dance to. This kind of brilliance my friend, transcends mere perspective. It mocks such pretense.
@@georgemorenstein What exactly convinces you this is an intentional performance? I find it too natural looking to think so.
@@lt.loomis8176 I see it not so much as an "intentional performance", but rather an instance of the artist channeling that which is divine.
@@georgemorenstein Lmao great answer
You mean because he wears more liquid eyeliner than an obese transvestite?
I once had a job doing 'live' sound for an Elvis impersonator. He sang over a CD and his wife/manager told me to keep his vocals low in the actual mix so the audience was mostly hearing the voice on the CD and keep his vocal high in monitors so he thought the audience was hearing him. Every show was a mess behind the scenes but we all tried to act like we were pros. It was a fun summer, actually.
Corey Feldman is like the Tommy Wiseau of pop.
you're tearing me apart COREY!!

I generally agree however he did Harland Williams podcast and it was quite interesting to see that side of him pop out a little
Controller , manipulative with some talent of telling the truth and other times performance.
💯
He's one of THE 80s pop culture icons, was legit amazing as a young actor, that can't be taken away from him whatever this other weirdness is all about 😂
He was at a UK Comic Con. Was incredibly late, kept vanishing, and was treating his fans very poorly.
Fans?
My wife and I saw two of Corey's shows in the past year, and we had a fun time. There were no train wrecks in the set, per se... A good friend of ours used to play bass for him, and arranged for us to meet him after one of the shows. He was actually very cool to talk to, and hung out for a bit. He's an easy target for people to pick on, but our experiences were positive. If you're an 80's movie fan, I'd recommend the show. It's a fun night out.
I have also seen one of his concerts live. It was not exactly high caliber music or anything but I will say that it was just about the most genuine performance I’ve ever seen. And I agree, not a train wreck. It was a bit weird and all that but nothing “bad” happened.
He's an easy target cause the man's a piece of garbage
Anyone:
You: I have zero taste in music, and do not understand social norms.
If any of this is put on, then he’s an infinitely better actor than I ever gave him credit for.
When's the "gotcha, bitches!" moment coming? Because he's been at it since his Michael Jackson phase and that alone went on for YEARS and it was over 30 years ago.
I think he over acts to but hes got balls and dont care what people say I do respect that
Big jay oakerson and dan soder pondered the exact same thing about feldman on the bonfire, but came to the same conclusion- if this is an act, feldman is a genius of his generation, but theres no way it is 🤣
@c.keenan
Amen 😆👍🏻
This is not an act. He is serious and thinks he is crushing it. 😂
It's bizarre. 😂
I think he must be on a ton of coke. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep from feeling embarrassed.

Except it’s not a sing-hole.
It’s a cringe-hole.
Stepping on a rake🤣🤣🤣

Sing-hole 😂
I have to wonder if Corey started out being genuine and oblivious to the embarrassing nature of his performances and then realized more and more people started coming to witness the cringe instead, so he started doing it more purposefully and now it's just an endless spiral of this hilarity.
Either that, or we are witnessing in real time what California Coastal Crack every day for 20 years does to a person. Something is wrong, and I think that's what it is.
He's the Comeback King
I think this is exactly it.
maybe. that way he can claim the whole thing has been just one big goof all along
Perfect comment.
Justin, it's not fake. He is deadly serious about all of this. Every time he is on some rinky-dink stage and the 75 people in the crowd are laughing at him, in his mind he's playing Wembley stadium and crushing it.
The American comedy radio show The Bonfire has done the best job of covering Corey's utterly insane musical career. All of that stuff is up on UA-cam and is EXTREMELY funny. Especially since Corey is aware of it and hates them. He tried to ban them from coming to his NY show, but they just walked in anyway.

@@zachwhitehorn7926Joaquin
I saw him on the Today Show on NBC, and he either blew out his noggin' in the 80's or he's Andy Kaufman-ing pop rock (which died in the early 2000's). I think he started off with the issues, gained awerness, saw the reaction, and exacerbated the issues. But, Limp Bizkit has him as an opener for the first main ticket tour they've had in 20 years, and Durst is a big proponent of "cringe but good" with the music feel so...
I was waiting for a 16" Stonehenge monument to drop on the stage.

It's hilarious! He actually thinks Feldog is putting on an act! I would love to be the one to tell him, "dude, he's not joking, he's dead serious".
This is like Corey just skipped the Rocker tutorial and went straight to the game. Didn't learn any of the buttons, storyline, how to operate in-game items, nothing. He just bought the Rock Star Ikea set and went about sticking little wooden nubs in oversized holes and hammering in screws.
Saw him at a Horror Convention in Niagara Falls Canada last month. Line up was huge to meet him. He was in full on studded leather jacket, big sunglasses and massive security guards.. everywhere he went, he had an entourage.. HAD to be part of the act... when we finally met him, he was super cool and was cool with everyone that got his autograph.
That's good to hear, I don't think he's overly pretentious
That's awesome. I'm glad he still keeps it real. I believe the fans are number one. I think people just want to hate autumn. Because he's being real and doing what he wants to do

I'm not sure if this guy is just trolling us...? Or Corey is... if it's Corey then he's been doing this for quite a long time. Saw him live around 2005ish and thought the same thing. "He's got to be fcking with us."
He'll do anything for show business. If people are talking about you. Positive or negative. Doesn't matter. Being relevant is all that matters. I think he's decent dude, just doesn't know how to do anything else but entertain. So he will, by any means necessary@@Derek_1111
You know how there are people who will go to like baseball fantasy camp, they will spend a fortune just to pretend they’re a baseball player for a weekend. Corey has enough money to go to rock ‘n’ roll camp for the rest of his life. he’s paying to pretend he’s a rockstar. It’s effing fascinating
You the man Tommy S!
Hi Justin, just wanted to leave a note here from someone who came to you via the Ren-train, on which I hopped around 2017 or so, when my daughter first introduced me to his music. She was a huge fan, completely in love with him, his music, his talent. Then came the tsunami of reaction videos to "Hi Ren", and I discovered a new species of great humans, you among them. Ema died 2 years ago, she was only 22. I have withdrawn from most thing throughout the process, and YT has been a Windows I kept open to seek relief, to share in the amazement of this world when my own seemed just too heavy. Long stroy short : I saw you guys, the Darkness at Admiralspalast in Berlin a few weeks ago, and it has been such a great experience, also reconnecting me with my niece and family, and the energy and fun you bring to the stage is amazing. All this to say: thank you! The journey back to life is lined with lights that shine in the dark. It's good to see yours 🙏🦋😘
So sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you have been through. Your daughter was ahead of her time. She knew Ren was extremely talented back then. I'm sure she would be proud to see how far he's come. I also discovered Justin via Ren. I will admit that I am not a Darkness fan, but I have become a big fan of Justin via this channel. All the best to you.
Discovered Justin via Ren also. So sorry about your loss.

As someone who grew up in the 80s and loved Corey in the Goonies, Lost Boys and Stand By Me-- I really REALLY hope he is in on the joke. If not, I still wish him good things- dude has been through the wringer...
I often wonder if his Wringer is all he has made it out to be and that he doesnt use it to try and keep himself relevant. I think as a kid, he bought into how great everyone told him he was and honestly thinks he is, in anything he does, regardless.
Are you victim shaming? It's very hard to come out and talk about childhood abuse as it is. I only reported mine this year, at 48 because I had no support, no means to talk to anyone when I was young, I was so traumatised and have been left with Borderline Personality Disorder and CPTSD as a result of years of sexual abuse.
Corey was in the system. In the machine. He knew what a risk it was to come out and disclose his abuse, which, by all accounts, sounds utterly horrific. Do I think he's lying? Not a chance.
Believe the victims. Always. Unless proven otherwise. I won't get comeuppance for my cousin's crimes, in Scotland mountains of circumstantial evidence don't mean a thing unless there's corroboration from the time. Which, of course, there isn't. And I'm ok with that - I live in his head now, not the other way around.
Believe the victims.
Fair enough.
Do you believe his victims?
Check out the Medium article about the multiple allegations about him.
It’s bad.
@@juneeaglesham7146 No im not victim Shaming,because i dont think he was a victim. I think hes using Haims claims, to promote himself. im Bullshitter Shaming. I think Feldman is a narcissistic con artist, who is using the system. I could tell you stories of abuse that would make your head spin, but i dont use it and define myself by it.... Believe the victim? I think the me too movement, proved that stance debatable.. The way he strung it out, and still is, is evidence to my position.
@@juneeaglesham7146are you shaming victims? Are Corey's victims not to be believed? You only believe Corey to be the victim? Interesting.
He was deeply damaged in his youth, and never managed to recover. It's honestly a huge triumph that he's even alive still.
He's a shambles and the public known it.. half believe, half are dubious.

A triumph for who?
@@Creeptoothstudioswell ….. a triumph for himself ….. That’s pretty obvious…but you might be mentally challenged so I’m not trying to throw any hate your way. But that being said….Are you hating on the fact that a child Hollywood star was able to make it out of a situation that most don’t? I’m just trying to figure out the purpose of your statement cause it seems purposeless if you exclude mediocrity
How was he damaged? Im not sure u wanna believe ANYTHING he Eva says man...
You are absolutely correct. Ive said it since the first planned trainwreck he presented. He is the ultimate Troll. To hear you call it out for what it is gives me hope that the population isnt that mentally challenged. The band always has the same issues, his frustrated outbursts and the same pissed routine he pulls where he is so pissed because nothing is going right. It's complete satire, and he has admitted it. You woukd never call out over the PA any issues like that.. Watch them all. You see the same shit every time. Corey is getting the last laugh, even though he sold his soul and has no shame.. No such thing as bad press. His name is still being mentioned and talked about.. A win for him and he knows it.
If this has just been an act the whole time, he is the greatest actor of all time.
Modern wrestling drama is often rooted in the wrestlers as people - easier to sell a self-aggrandizing egotist if you're already a bit of a drama queen.
No he isn't, never believed him. Nothing about him is believable, he's not even believable as a human being
If you read all the allegations about him by his former angels and band members, you won't think he's some rational guy playing a part. If the allegations are all true, he needs to be in prison.
It's not a crime to be a clueless goof... if it were, there'd be many more people in US prisons.

@@SheezFubarWasnt he referring to Justin?
@@jimmyjam3753 Oh... Ha! He very well could've been. I'm not sure, lol.
So glad you appeared on my feed. Glad you're helping to raise awareness. He is to blame for the SA of Corey Haim, who he took advantage of, and still wont let him rest in peace. Its a source of pain for his mum n she's asked him to stop mentioning her son n anything concerning him.
I recorded that footage at 12:45. He was a jerk to his crew, they started over, and it was so awkward. That was only the first 60 seconds.
...and I do believe it was real seeing it in person. The whole performance was wiiiild.
So why come here to relive the horrors?
I ran FOH at a 200 cap venue in California where he headlined a gig. It was a whimsical disaster. Changeovers took forever, sound check went 4 hours over, doors opened 3 hours later, he had wardrobe changes that took a long time, he had like 8-10 changes. it was crazy. not to mention it just didn't sound or look good. but who knows. If that's the show then that's the show.
Corey should be in the RR Hall Of Fame
This is a lesson I've learned from performing live for a bit of time--Don't ever rip your sound guy/ light guy/ roadies from the stage during a show. They more than likely hate you anyways. They are the quickest way to make your show great or bad.
Band Dorothy wanted there guitar turned up mid set and the sound guy cranked that bad boy to maximum and you could hear nothing else but the guitar. Trust your people and don't mess with em lol
100% true
The FIRST thing I do when I show up to a venue is go make friends with the Sound & Stage crew. Smoke a joint, buy a shot, bring em something to eat....2nd thing is, make friends with head of Security. Especially if its a rough place
As a FoH guy, you are VERY correct.
I have to disagree on one thing, I've been touring for many years (lighting director) & it's my experience that professionals don't typically work for artists they "hate"....they don't have to. People don't work years to become good at what they do just to be miserable & hate the artist. In 23yrs I've not known anyone to hate the artist they work for. If you don't like them, you don't except the gig.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned from my years in entertainment is that if something goes wrong during a performance, you just push forward and then worry about it after the show especially if there is another show following then you take a moment breathe and focus on what problem needs to be fixed. You don’t stop a show in the middle to yell at your light or sound people because this and the other is going wrong. Despite Corey being a child in a man’s body, which basically is what it all comes down to he has been in the business long enough to realize everything I said at the beginning of this post, bottom line this is just Corey once again playing the victim which he’s pretty much done his whole life. What’s even scarier is that people are actually paying money to go watch this because I’ve read comments praising him for this.
I totally agree.
I've always said "if this (Corey Feldman's music and act) isn’t a satire about pop music and the music industry, a better satire could not be written".
So I think it's a massive method act: it's so good though, most miss it.
What proves it for me is this: everything that could go wrong during a live performance, goes wrong at every live performance:
- Mistimed intros so the band have to start again
- Wardrobe malfuctions
- Microphones falling down
- The background projector not working
- Instruments not being plugged in
- Lighting too bright/ too dark
- The lead singer picking up a guitar/ the drum sticks and playing badly
- Injuries due to trips/ collisions etc
And during this, Feldman throws several diva tandrums...
Definitely a satire...
The trouble is...if it's satire, where is his target audience??
The 50 people at his shows...?
Cos he isn't getting paid for anything else. He's not getting money for all the secondary media that laugh at him (like this Utube video).
And he hasn't made a movie in 30 years!
The only money he makes these days are from tell all books about him &the other Corey getting scotch-taped... (hardly the type of thing to be promoted by "prank comedy"...
@@lueysixty-six7300 The tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of us who watch the cringe on the Internet are his target audience.
And money? The guy is still stinking rich from his childhood acting days and has no doubt had financial hedge fund managers put the tens of millions of dollars he made into working investments, so he doesn't need the money.
The target audience is all of us that would appreciate the satire. Or those that don't but still pay attention even just to scoff. This isn't about the performance, or lack there of. But don't be fooled that no money is being made.
In order for it to be affective satire the audience at some point has to become aware of the fact that it is satire, otherwise it's pointless. It quickly becomes obvious that Spinal Tap is satire, this never becomes obvious.
@@frodobaggins7252that's why it's genius...Corey is ahead of spinal tap..he meets you in the middle and makes you confused, intrigued and wanting more
Watching Corey Feldman on stage is always worth a laugh.
When it comes to music Corey is a perfect example of someone who’s trying too hard and failing all the way.
I did an event with Corey at my former job & at one point we were dancing while they played his new track & he kept poking me to ask what I thought about it while I was trying to dance. I finally had to treat him almost like you would a kid for him to stop trying to talk to me until my set was over. I honestly think that he is just trying very hard to do something he feels strongly about & isn’t making great choices, but I don’t think it’s intentional. He seemed like he genuinely loved & believed in what he was doing. Unfortunately, I think that there’s still people taking advantage of him, including some of his band members & of his entourage, but that he’s just not aware of it.
Or if he is aware that some people are taking advantage of him just to get their 15 minutes of fame, it upsets him and rather than dealing with it, he just lets it slide. But I absolutely don’t think that any of this is intentional on his part.
He is stuck in a mental state of a child that he was when abuse started….
Corey feldman took advantage of Corey Haim every single chance he had. I wish the worst.
I think the guy making this video is damage control or something!!! this is definitely not an act!!! he just has no self-awareness that he sucks
@@AdrianaOliveira-fi5hpTHIS. And the worst part is, he’s STILL doing it.
when he hits his teeth he quickly checks if they are still there LOL
LeechWoman Then he quickly tries to find them on the stage floor and invites the audience to join in 🤣
If his band isn't called the Dunning Kruger Effect it's a real missed opportunity. This has the self awareness of a sovereign citizen putting his traffic stop on UA-cam.
lol
GET OFF MY LAWWWWN`aaaah!
@@afrog2666 You like the Micheal Jackson dancing? You haven't been seeing it for 40 years then. Even irony can only go so far.
I have massive depression and PTSD. So my mind goes to a dark and scary place sometimes. When I noticed that im drifting into that deep depression I legit look up Corey Feldman videos. Lol instantly my mind forgets all that bad shit and I laugh my ass off. I hope you are right and its just one big performance art thing. Because it is genius. My favorite movie growing up was Spinal Tap and you are so right comparing it to Corey. May God love and protect Corey Feldman. I dont know what Id do if he wasnt constantly in my feed either being a massive star ass. Or hurting himself in the middle of a "performance" lol.
Have similar issues myself bro and watching videos of him tonight is giving me fits of laughter which is very rare for me to experience. Sorry Corey but it’s good medicine for people like us lol
I was in California 95. Met Corey at a bar! Spent 7 days smoking crack in a seedy motel with him!!! Glad to see he got his life together!!
Wish we could say the same for you
I believe you😅
@@exitscreaming4637how presumptuous. How do u know whether the guy is on drugs still ( the UA-cam post guy ? Bet he is)
Sure jan
@@supme7558
No, it's true!
I sold the crack to them.
He identifies as a rockstar. He's got main character syndrome, bad.
I saw Corey once when I attended a private Beastie Boys show at the Sundance Festival years and years ago. (I had to virtually beg, borrow, and steal in order to get my name on the list despite working for their label.) My friend was the one to recognize Corey first, but even then he had a couple of women with him and wore sunglasses inside as if to say, "hey...see these sunglasses I'm wearing...that means I am a "celebrity". You better recognize the greatness in front of you." We just laughed and as we walked down the stairs to the main level we literally ran into Dennis Quaid and his extremely young "girlfriend" walking up. Wouldn't ya know...he didn't seem to need sunglasses indoors...at night. hmmm...imagine that.
Goes to show he has an inferiority complexity. Like the times with Corey haim. Haven’t moved on and still hunting him bad individual.
The reason (to me) that it doesn't appear to be fake would be due to the fact that I know a singer who very much acts the same. He believes 100% that what hes doing on stage is just the best entertainment you can watch and yet it's truly truly awful. The lack of self awareness or perhaps it's a behaviour disorder...who knows. People will feed it if they can get a laugh out of it or make money of it though of course.
you mean Axl Rose? 🙂
This is NOT Spinal Tap!
It’s like Spinal tap but not quite.
I hope he’s acting & not seriously trying to be a professional musician.
He is doing everything a real musician would do during sound check or rehearsal but never do during a live concert.
So let’s hope he’s doing a satirical character inspired by spinal tap, intentionally playing a joke on the audience for the sake of comedy.
I hope 🤞 Justins right about the acting 🎭 intended performance art .
😊
Corey Feldman is to music as Stephen Seagal is to Martial arts.
I said the same thing then deleted my comment when I saw this, haha.
@@EricSchneider82 Corey Feldman is to music as Stephen Seagal is to Martial arts.
Stephen hawking
Great comparison!
How does Corey even get paid for doing something he’s terrible at??
No Steven Seagal is Marilyn Manson compared to Corey Feldman...... 🕊️
My friend saw him at a limp bizkit concert. She said it was terrible. The acting, singing, entertaining, guitar playing abilities, are non existent. I need a list of people who pay to see him. His “guitar solos” are terrible, I’ve seen cats with more talent.
You're giving him way, WAY too much credit! He is a very weird guy that is SO far up his own arse it is scary!
I saw him in 2023 at the Diamond Music Hall in St Peter's Missouri.
Place was packed, everyone had a good time, and Corey was 100% serious about his music. Do not hesitate to go see him. It is a wild time 😂
@@kamon4931back in the day….
@@kamon4931 Time traveller!
@kamon4931 if I would have said "this year" then people that read the comment next year and beyond would have been misled into thinking I had seen him in those years. That is how the internet works 🤣
@@gregc8483 yeah, because when a cyber Indiana Jones is reading this old data parchment years from now, you want him to have the facts exactly right, or else how will anyone truly believe the historic event ever took place? 😂

It’s never easy to take it when you realize your best days are not only behind you but specifically over 30 years behind.
It would be easy for most of us just seeing those legacy checks he's getting. Dude never has to work another day in his life but chose to do this?
And here you are still talking about him....
Are your best days behind you as well ? Can't you say the same thing for most people of a certain age ?
Excellent .
11:32 let me try to convince you it was accidental. Slow the vid to .25X. Watch from 11:32. He STEPS ON the mic stand which wobbles TOWARDS him causing the mic to lunge toward him by a good inch and a half which put his mouth in contact before he realized and it shocked him (not literally but emotionally). He was not expecting the mic to hit his lips like that because he had no idea he would step onto the base of the stand like that. It's real.
I think it’s 💯 legit. I knew a fella exactly like this. Could never get past the bad mix in his monitor, too much low’s/hi’s in his vocals, drummer counting the song in 2BPM’s too fast. Looking back, I think it was his insecurities about performing. SCARED TO DEATH to just perform and accept the results; good or bad. The antics (bitching about the lights/keyboard player) are just subconscious safety nets in case the show goes badly… something he can point his finger to afterwards vs taking any responsibility for the outcome.
great post I agree, you just go with it every show should be a little different anyway keep rolling mistake or not if you point out a big deal that's what your audience will remember.
This is what a 100% narcissist looks like. Zero self awareness and evidently zero friends to tell him no...
He doesn't want friends, but sycophants.
He wants to be Michael Jackson so bad.
Corey has invented a revolution in music comedy. Hats off to that guy!
Well, see Crispin Glover.
At least Spike Jones’s band could play instruments.
At 12:42 the guy playing the part of the guitar player starts the skit with his guitar unplugged and messing up the vocals; thus causing the next hilarious scene!
This shit is absolutely brilliant. I wish Siskel and Ebert could have been here to review this!
Justin, you are too kind. This is not an act, this is exactly what it looks like. lol
I always assumed that, but I'm about 50/50 after this video...
@@jerhew8 ns especially the last video
Corey performed at a Food Truck Rally in LA on his birthday back in 2008. I found myself in a surrounded by people laughing quietly so hard. Ive been hooked in awe ever since.
😂😂😂!!!
@@trisin It's hilarious how good he is and how he hasn't won a grammy yet.
In sympathy with Corey, I have turned downed down my house lights.
Corey Feldman isn't smart enough to make performance art. No way.
13:00 Why is it ALWAYS raining whenever Corey plays an outdoor gig?
You give him a lot more credit than me. He seems like a real tool.I read about how his playboy bunny wife who is normally part of his act as his DJ became really sick and has chronic fatigue and wasn't able to tour with him this year and so all of a sudden he served her with divorce papers. He totally strikes me as the type of person who only wants a young hot wife as long as the relationship can benefit him in a transactional way - giving him cred by looking good on his arm and as a prop in his show just like his angles back up band, and if she's sick and it's going to cost him more than it's going to help him, the sickness and in health vow is null and void. All summer I kept getting paid suggested content pushed into my newsfeed on facebook and it was photo after photo of him backstage at different festivals, posing with established celebrities. None of these festivals were near me but every day I was getting some sort of Corey Feldman update and finding out what cool person he was hanging out with that day. I know he was paying a lot trying to get everyone to believe all these musicians are his buddies and people he hangs out with.
Dude spent the 80s and 90s making us believe he was on drugs but he is actually Andy Kaufman.
Andy was a legend is Corey a legend or a sheen rape victim traumatic Complicated California kid
Ha ha!
Joking aside, it is clear he spent way too long around MJ
Him yelling into the mic about the lights is too funny 😂
Not a fraud. He's legitimately pursuing his musical vision.
This isn't acting. He's completely oblivious. He also thinks he is Hugh Hefner. I know it's hard to believe, but if this is an act, he never breaks character even when he's on the toilet...alone.
He does break wind there though, allegedly.
Coincidentally, that’s the best place to do DVD commentary.
Ha ha ha brilliant truly my best laugh of the day! Got tears in my eyes from laughing at your toilet joke.) Thank you. '(Tears Of A Clown')
I think you're on to something! Though I'd add Michael Jackson and a touch of Elvis into the mix! Man is a hot mess but I think he's having fun and who are we to rain on his parade? I'd pay mightily for a fraction of his oblivious-ness!! Jokes on us, I do believe!!
I can’t get past the fact that I would ABSOLUTELY hit my face on the mic probably every single time.
I've been a singer of several metal bands, and recorded a few albums. I have done countless live performances all over the world. I have never made mistakes like that live before ever . I've only hit myself once in rehearsal on a guitar and had to get 22 stitches on my forehead. I have performed drunker than Ozzy and on drugs, but never embarrassed myself like that.
Honestly, you just did. Or you should be, to publicly boast about performing drunker than Ozzy? And on drugs? That should be embarrassment enough, if you knew how drunk and out of control Ozzy really was. Maybe you were just never told how it was through the eyes of your audiences.
@@cjmiller6741dude Ozzy was not that bad compared to today’s standards 😂
What are a few of the best known metal bands you were in?
@@moonWraith13 I really don't think anybody today compares to the antics of Ozzy. He got banned from performing in San Antonio for peeing on The Alamo. He bit a live animal's head off during a photo shoot. Those are just a few examples. Nobody does that today. If so, what compares?
@@cjmiller6741 I don't know what to say to that other than, getting drunk on stage is awesome. Especially when you're 25 years old, living in a tour bus all day.
*Corey Feldman taught Michael Jackson how to dance because they grew up dancing together* .
🙄
If this is a performance, give him an Emmy… for best actor in a musical 😂
I’m here from the Howie Mandell podcast. I think he is completely sincere. And he’s very unhappy about this video 😂
That makes this analysis so much funnier!
Gen X, he wouldnt care, dont even know why i F#@%N write this
Justin, your brilliant use of the English language and your natural, deep, understanding of human bullshit is the reason why I listen to you. That and the coolness of the tunes.
Well said. 👍
Try decaf. Maybe you wouldnt be such a kiss ass Phil.
For all the people jumping to his defense or jumping on his fraud, there is one thing that matters above all else. The interview put out I believe a year ago with an ex- angel who went on to explain the emotional abuse if they did not obey his "rules" and the random times when he would put something in one of their drinks, wait for them to pass out, and then do whatever he wanted. IF this is true, then he deserves the most massive dose of karma known to the universe.
I feel sorry for him. He's messed up in so many ways.
He's a sexual predator, he's not sober like he claims, he's still a coke fiend. He is a liar, and he betrayed his "best friend " Corey Haim
I hear a lot of the "feel sorry for him" bit. I don't. We all go through heavy things. The tales of abuse towards those women on tour seem very credible and also disturbing. He's arrogant, whiny and just a complete douche. I realize most of those attending are doing it to see the shit show and have a laugh but I wish they wouldn't. It just serves to feed his ego and keep him around. He needs to go away. Rest and get his head straight.
He defends and emulates the most famous Pedophile of all, Michael Jackson....Simply because he never got his own ugly self touched by the man. Got no sympathy for him at all
That was.the other, cute,.Corey.
I feel sorry for the people who go to see his shows.
I’ve got some talent but no belief… seeing someone with 0 talent and 100% belief is mystifying to me!
Edit: should clarify I’m talking about Corey not Justin 😅
Just goes to show how far blind confidence will take you 😂
Ahh but you do have respect, meanwhile he is mercilessly mocked.
Real
I’ve always operated on the assumption that it did start genuinely. But as time went by he’s just going along with the joke because he still gets to live the rock and roll dream. Dude still gets booked constantly. His videos go viral. He’s staying relevant and having a blast. We should all be so lucky.
Corey is so smart. He knew no one would take him seriously while trying to do a comeback so he has become the ultimate troll.
OMG, it's Justin Hawkins from the Darkness, i can't believe you're here on UA-cam.
I was at a pub recently and there was a guy singing, i told him he reminded me of you, then he told me he was in a Darkness cover band. It made sense as he could hit those notes, he ended the night with two of your songs.
It was a great night. Anyway, it's super cool to see you here.
I look forward to the video ❤
Whether he’s in on the joke or not, the truth is that Corey is bringing a lot of joy to a lot of people. Thanks for the classy and hilarious take Justin!

Dude won't shut up long enough for us to laugh at it too
I will say Coreys musical endeavors have brought me nothing but joy and entertainment. Its not for the reasons HE would like ...but the internet comedy is pure gold. Keep it coming comeback king! lol
One anecdote I heard about Feldman’s live show that makes me think it’s 100% real happened not too long ago. At a show here in Phoenix a local DJ attended the show and talked about how at one point he went to the bar to get a drink and the sax player was hanging out at the merch booth. While the show was going on 😂
If you truly want to see Corey Feldman in his musical element, revisit his performance on Howard Stern where he battles against Howard's band. You truly see how bitter he is not being accepted as a musician. He also had all that time with Michael Jackson back in the day, and I'm sure he witnessed M.J. become a diva during rehearsals and performances. Following in his footsteps quite literally.
I saw that years ago. So funny lol
It’s 100% real. He’s only known showbiz, no one around him says ‘no’, or ‘you need to practise more’. It’s made him lazy and unaware. Seems like a decent guy though…maybe
Corey Feldman is to music as Professional Wrestling is to sport. It’s entertaining, just not for the reasons you think it should be.
Love the Feldman coverage. I actually saw Corey live. I believe it was his 30th birthday. Yes, he performed. It was awesome; if awesome meant horrible.
I saw him perform in the town where they filmed The Goonies. It was such a surreal gig and at one point Sean Astin came out to auction off a guitar. I didn't really understand why I loved it so much until I'd seen a few Neil Breen movies, then it all made sense.
"I'm feeling less stable"
😂😂😂😂
I can’t believe you didn’t know why you liked it. I cannot believe you didn’t know why you liked it. 😊
*eats tin of tuna*
4:50 "Thats gonna be really close to me now ... (Leans in) Hehe ... Yeh." 🤣
This is the real self important, self aware Corey. He’s far far from an elite performance artist. rather an artist who believes he’s elite. It’s a real car crash that spinal tap must be in awe of.
This is NOT Spinal Tap!

It isn’t fake, Corey is a prime example of what Hollywood does to people
Sadly true
It's the sequel to Spinal Tap called Spinal Crap.
More specifically what fame does to children. I've worked with kids who have peed themselves on set because they messed up, and were afraid of the parental consequences. I've seen small children on a job have parents that could not shut up about how their child was going to be a millionaire and known all over the world. The child has no understanding that this is a hope, and not simply one of many possibilities. These kids buy in 1000% and behave like show dogs that cannot turn off! or have a genuine interaction because it's always SHOWTIME! These are Kids I have never heard of since working with them. Being told all these fantastical stories about your worth is damaging in and of itself during the developmental years... But if you halfway make it, or don't make it at all... You have no self to inhabit outside of this vacuum created by adults. This is who Corey believes he truly is and I believe this is why he fights so hard for legitimacy. He has been raised as a one-dimensional person. And trust me, when parents and handlers want a piece of your success, it is no different than indoctrinating a young mind into a cult. Add to that the child abuse he suffered. This is the only story he knows, and is very much trapped by it.
Regardless of what happens, I hope he finds more success and gets the validation he desperately needs.
