He's got a great West End/Broadway voice. Full of character and charisma. Not surprised he's performed in so many big shows - Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rocky Horror etc
fun fact he wrote Rocky Horror in spite of getting fired from Jesus Christ Superstar as he thought he was gonna be an unemployed actor. He wrote and played science fiction double feature for a small group then got the help from Jim to have a spot at the theater and later wrote the rest of the play
I was lucky enough to see Rocky Horror last week in Auckland with Richard as the narrator. It was awesome, he was incredible, and the show ended with him leading the audience and cast on a rocking version of Time Warp while he played electric guitar - can he really be 68?? Incredible
The most frightening amazing musical mind EVAR. ;P While it's not the full ensemble of the song, this alone has its own unique touch without a full cast of singers. I love this song, and Richard O'Brien's voice is just simply amazing.
Ich sehe diesen O´Brien zum ersten mal und kann nur sagen: Hut ab, allererste Sahne. Der Rhytmus stimmt auch (meine Meinung). Hier ist Rock´n Roll u. Rock´a billy vereint.
Many artists perform songs differently in concert than in their original concept this benefits both the artist and the listener, for the artist it may not seem like it but it can become sheer drudgery performing the same exact stuff over and over it gives them an opportunity to break up the monotony and change things up a bit, at the same time the artist realizes the listener has heard this song repeatedly, still not as many times as they performed it but a lot, so it also gives the listener a different experience with the song, than the same identical version they have heard a million times
Do you ever look up old youtube videos, look at when it was uploaded like this one, wondering what were you doing in your life when this was uploaded?.. I just did.
I just see this and think "phinese and ferns dad" o.O I know he's AHmazing on Rocky Horror but after discovering he's on P&F I can't look at the show the same lol
what i find so funny is how they casted him. I mean no disrespect, but considering how he made such a film like the rocky horror picture show, yet hired him to play a part in a childrens show. one day when those kids want to see what other things the voice actors have done, they will be in for the shock of their life. I guess they hired him because he is an amazing singer.
You're really whining over fact he was once on a show made for children (or as I like to call them...our FUTURE!" Seriously, dude, you are what is wrong this world. You;re so entitled that you feel it is your place to critique people out there who have done more with their than you ever will . As the Orange Freak who occupies the USA White House says: "SAD!!!"
Do you mean the Ink Thief? He was probably cast in that after a very successful run as the host of The Crystal Maze - a massive mainstream, family-oriented phenomenon.
He's the creator of cult classic called "Rocky Horror Picture Show". This song is probably the most famous song from the movie. I really recommend you watch the movie, it's fantastic!

He is so versatile. He channels so many singers and styles. As a bonus, he actually looks better the less hair he has.
He could have been frontman for any 1970s rock band. What a voice and what a charisma.

I love the Rockabilly tweak to this version.
Just love him so much. I see him and feel instantly happy! He's one special person 😊
Fantastique
LOVE this

What a voice!
Love this guy🥰🥳
now this is talent!
seriously talented man
Love him so much
I love him, what he did in music, I`m still his "Fan"

zum ersten mal, Rocky Horror Picture Show
I really like this stripped-down acoustic rendition. Not that the original's bad (it's not), but I enjoy this one.
that was fuckin EPIC!
Emotion. Fantastic. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
he's fantastic!!
*-* he's magic
Absolutely beautiful!
Whoever put thumbs down -should not be living.
And comment if you disagree so i can ignore you😘
Amazing
This guy is something else
Its from Other planet, far away of out galaxy
Most excellent, I'd like to see the rest of the show....
damm that is amazing
Never caught the Rockabilly vibe before....;-)
that vibe was lost in the production of the time, but it screams rockabilly when you reduce it and strip it back
It’s especially apparent during the “It’s just a jump to the left...” pre-chorus part.
Glam rock is really 50s rock and roll with louder guitars and louder outfits.
Thanks for sharing !
:D yey! love him, he's the best..woot. rocky.. hehe
Yes, he also created it.
WOWWOWWOW!
superbly good
Epic, biblical, etc,etc....

Richard still like you *we said hello at Trafic night club Kings Cross many moons ago* hugs
@mollyarabella, I love Richard too. It's insane,I'm about to die in happiness ;]
Thats soo great!:)
Supa :)

@merton1982 He's 70? Damn! He doesn't look it.
@inachu Yes! And he also, you know, WROTE THE THING!
I just see this and think "phinese and ferns dad" o.O I know he's AHmazing on Rocky Horror but after discovering he's on P&F I can't look at the show the same lol
Barry Bostwick (Brad) played Linda’s father and Tim Curry played Dr. Lloyd Wexler and a bunch of other guest appearances
💕
Genius.....that describes Richard to a T!
Looks like 3 people already went home :D #2014
@inachu
He wrote the musical and played Riff Raff...
Mr. Hand, yes?
He must be the youngest looking pensioner of all time!!! 70 next year!!!
It's like a really peculiar version of buddy hollie.

@inachu
I saw the RHPS over 100 times now...... Is he the baldy dude with long hair in the back?
Yes
He wrote the script, songs ( lyrics and music ), and played Riff Raff.
he´s baldy, but thin and very attractive with 78 years
strange question for someone who's seen the film 100 times lol
@@karenKristal True but that is what I get for being hit by lightning back in 1997
HOW CAN THIS HAVE EVEN 1 DISLIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably from someone that got locked in and didn't have any crystals.
wow 10 year old comment. At least now nobody can see any dislikes lol.
I think I need to play the organ again, but my whole house is an utter lack..
He sang most of it instead of saying it.
@merton1982 Must be clean living.
Sigh, the tabs for this aren't anywhere T__T
look closely and try out.
Why are the audience not losing their shit I would be losing my shit
I know, right?
1 person did not let fantasy free them. ;)

He wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show--all the songs.
LordTakeshi he wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and all the music. He cast himself in that part 👍👍👍

I don't find his comment critical.

@crazyman8472 actually the failed to perform the time warp

Nice! I created Dexter too!
Aliens... I would like to see their planet, ha ha.
