Corey Feldman is notorious for his "cringy" performances and rather calamitous live shows. He is ridiculed by many, pitied by others however I'm starting to speculate that this is not a rather unfortunate series of events but a deliberate form of performance art. I think all of this is a :fake" and the Corey Feldman we all laugh at is in fact a fraud, a brilliant ingenious fraud. What do you think?

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? 😁
Justin, I love you but if you're chewing gum in this video, don't do that when you're making videos, please.
@@jeffmunkynutz1568 It's this entire youtube channel, but LIVE on stage.
@@DanFedMusic I'd just given up cigarettes. I was struggling.
Corey is the musical equivalent of Sharknado
Na Sharknado was pretty good lol. More like the musical equivalent of Birdemic. 😂😂😂😂
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😂
@@drewcliff82 🤣
@@bryanbenson6551yes! I’ve been saying the same for years.
They’re cut from the same cloth.
😂 👍 👏👏👏👏👏
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!!🤪🤪🤪❤️
Hahaha
😂😂😂
Been there! Lol
That's incredible
🤣 😂
I was waiting for a 16" Stonehenge monument to drop on the stage.
OH MY GOODNESS! We are watching a real world "this is spinal tap"
“No we’re not doing FAAACKIN Stonehenge!!! “
Why isn’t he in the Rock N Roll HOF given his obvious talent and popularity?
😂😂 love it
bwahahahaha
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.
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 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.
He's fine... I don't see the harm or why you have to be so negative.
@@adamgrimsley2900for real corey is just accentric

@@lenordbrazil9580 he is a professional. He gets paid to sing. That's the definition.
@@laurensparanormalreviewsan860 And 100% a grandiouse narcissist.
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
Him yelling into the mic about the lights is too funny 😂
Corey Feldman is like the Tommy Wiseau of pop.
you're tearing me apart COREY!!
Whoa! I wouldn't give him that much credit. People haven't made a movie about corey feldman yet where he was played by James Franco.
Nailed it!😂

@@jean-lucchalumeau9248 ,
...But it's coming 😂
If it is fake, this man deserves everything. Not even Andy Kaufman could pull this off over and over.
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!
I think your reference to Andy Kaufman says it all.
@@hieronymusbosch6255 *YEP! I know I would say I'm cool and loved*
*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
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.
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 RUclips post guy ? Bet he is)
Sure jan
@@supme7558
No, it's true!
I sold the crack to them.
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.
@@Jayson-tt3qois that seriously the important take of this comment? You wanted to be correct and clarify the proper tape to use? 🤦🏻♂️
@@jon590don't you just love that! 🤣🤣
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?
During the Angels tour he knocked a tooth out of his head at the Milwaukee show with a mic. His entire audience paid 30-40 dollars to be there ironically. They new it was going to be an awkward unintentional comedy act. I don't think he understands the jokes on him.
Somewhere on RUclips there's a video of Feldman performing with his angels. He shouts the lyric "I just want to drink my pee!" Dude is mental.
😂 so I’m not the only one who remembers that dumpster fire
You’re giving this dude waaaay too much self awareness credit
agreed
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
damn, Super Hans really turned his life around!
also, can confirm... this dude ain't no Andy Kaufman. He's just like this!
Having been a low-budget, semi-pro musical performer, I can attest, along with our good man Justin, to the fact that all of these cringe-inducing moments do in fact happen at one time or another (splitting one's lip on an SM58 is something many of us have enjoyed). Nonetheless, for these things to occur so regularly for a performer is either a divine intervention against future performances, or a hilariously well orchestrated bit of performance art. I go with the latter, as the former is simply too painful to contemplate. Spinal Tap 2.0. God bless him...plus, he's the only person I've ever seen who has managed to look like a 60 year old man as a child, and maintain that lookout his career. Well done, lad!
No way in hell is the man acting.
Al Pachino instantly turned 60 when he was 25
@Gunn27 He's been acting since he was a toddler. Dude is punking the world. Just got added as the opening for Limp Bizkit on their 2024 North American tour. So, yeah, people are digging what he's doing. He's billed as "actor-singer" on the booking site.
I looked up their tour info and he's nowhere listed as a performer. @@FathomlessJoy

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?
@@HeWhoHasRisen3500????
Corey Feldman is from 35 years ago. He wasn’t on RUclips in the early days.
What are you even talking about?
My inability to discern whether you genuinely believe he's acting or whether YOU are an amazing actor is the most brilliant thing about this video.
Justin's whole life is performance art. He's not even a Brit, he just plays one on RUclips.
bro now Im actually questioning it FFS XD @@JohnPrepuce
damn....that's a really good point.
The levels of meta are too many for my stoned brain
lmao same @@dcamp671
The intro to Pearl Jam's Even Flow video has something similar "It's not a tv studio, Josh! Turn these lights out! It's a fucking rock concert" I wonder if this is parodying that?
The idea that this is all intentional and performance art is so outlandish, and yet you're absolutely right about what we are seeing being absurd in the real world, and exactly what we would expect in comedy film. I commend you for seeing it and speaking it.
I got to the moment of the mic incident. I had to pause, but what can I say that you didn't? Brilliantly timed slapstick comedy. But I can see what people would have a hard time considering that this sort Inspector Clouseau buffoonery was an intentional act because when has such a thing ever been done before? I can't think of such a thing ever having been revealed publicly. Isn't creation of something new integral to performance art so that it is not derivative or parody? The bending and blending of the real and unreal, drawing us into the comedy he is creating. Are we in the Matrix of Corey Feldman without even his need for a computer system?
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.
@@etainafuzz thank you! Yes, you are right about her. Take care, stranger. May your life be lived as a free spirit 😘
@@bethscott4330 thank 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
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.
he is a nutcase
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.
😊😊
If it's all an act, he's a genius. I suspect that it isn't intentional though. It sort of seems like he's trying to do Michael Jackson superstar aesthetics which overwhelm the audience with theatrical pop idol magic, but he has to do it on a shoestring budget without the necessary crew or resources and this is why it's always a trainwreck.
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 RUclips.
lol
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 😆👍🏻
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.
You nailed it. It’s clear as day
Except it’s not a sing-hole.
It’s a cringe-hole.
Stepping on a rake🤣🤣🤣
I can’t breath!!!!🤘
😂
Sing-hole 😂
I won't question his part in this (or maybe I will?) but I would like to know who is the management involved and who else do they represent. Does he have his own road crew and who else have they worked with and what other acts/shows do these booking agents work with? To my mind I can't see this particular "artist" touring with a profit but what kind of guarantee could even be negotiated? It feels like something that shouldn't go on lone and provide some kind of a "reveal"....but it just tends to continue the same way.
You didn't notice each of those videos were at shows in front of mostly full houses? If you're bringing in 500 people to a show at $50 per ticket, thats 25k and that's before considering bar and kitchen sales (where venues make most of their cash). If you've got a 500 person venue, it's a easy money maker with a lot of profit. I say this as somebody who managed, booked & promoted a venue which had a 500 person room and a 200 person room.
@@Db_SpaceFace no I'm not really seeing a full 500 person venue in any of these videos. The only videos I've seen out there with him in front of a large audience is Riot Fest from a few years back and there was a backlash against the promoters for putting him on with people saying it was "mean spirited" to put him in front of that many people and people felt they were booking him as a joke. Videos I've seen with him as I guess you'd say the headliner (can't recall any opening acts being mentioned) generally all either show close cropped videos of the stage with no audience in view or an audience three deep...no evidence of a big crowd.
RE: it bing performance art. I paid the VIP package when he came to town a few years ago and got to talk with him for nearly 30 minutes and I was struck by how self aware he seemed to be. I think he may very well be in on the joke
Damn so yall both dumb
wow, if that's the case this is Buster Keaton, Chaplin and Peter Sellers all in one - and more!
Corey stopping the show to look for his tooth is his music career in a nutshell 😂
Just you wait till he stops his life to look for his career.

"If anyone can hear me... please turn down the house lights!!"
Corey Feldman Johnny Depp Keanu Reeves Kevin Bacon and Jared Leto all have joined forces to create the ultimate Rick Springfield cover band.
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.
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 😂
Corey is a unique person
He's the only person in the world still dancing like Michael Jackson, regardless of the genre he's performing.
Trying* to dance like Michael Jackson. And look like him, apparently.
It's the greatest .He thinks he is the Comeback 👑 He's just plain bad but is blind to it.
Feldman is stuck in 1989
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
i think this video calling corey's feldman's fecklessness performance art is itself performance art.
😂😂😂 This is best thing I've seen in a long time. I love the commentary. I randomly saw this video and immediately subscribed.
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
Actually, most people hate Winter but I feel ya'.@@bonnieiverson8828
His Ativan was kicking in on time.
So all was great... Bringing entertainment
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.
He sounds like he was in Sri Lanka at 3am looking for 1000 brown m&m’s to fill a brandy glass or Ozzy wouldn’t go on stage’
1234 1234 Duh- Duhn!
his opening maneuver is literally the opening of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs"
I can't watch Corey on stage without wanting to gouge my eyes out...
😂
@@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 can't watch him anywhere without having a similar desire.
🤘😹
so cringey
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.
Corey is like the modern day Spinal Tap! Also he's been doing this for a long time he preformed on the Howard Stern show way back in like 1989 or 1990
Spinal Tap? More like a colonoscopy if you ask me!
I agree with Justin on the Mic issue I think all of us have knocked our teeth on the mouth guard and a lot of shows get the heavy heavy duty ones to ensure longevity so they can break a tooth for sure if not used to it or stepping on the mic stand foundation spot
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!
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 RUclips 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.
crackle crackle

😂 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.
@@zachwhitehorn7926Joaquin
The Spinal Tap reference convinced me in 1 second.
Dude spent the 80s and 90s making us believe he was on drugs but he is actually Andy Kaufman.
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.
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
12:57 this is literally one of my coworkers when he shows up to work lol
I know I know, it’s all quite puzzling, but having met him & having friends that know him, it’s truly all full blown delusion. Too much childhood trauma, coupled with too much fame way too soon, too many drugs, just a perfect cocktail of quackery! Like everyone really, a product of their environment, He’s been insulated in private idaho surrounded by sycophants& suckups for decades!
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.
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
@@adrinathegreat3095 Hawking doesn't do martial arts anymore, he died a year or two back.
Great comparison!
How does Corey even get paid for doing something he’s terrible at??
LOL the face butt in to the mic was legit as he stomped forward he stood the base of it which brought the mic forward towards him! hahahahahah
I hadn't considered it from the comedy angle... it's a very convincing argument. Thank you!
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
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.
Yeah, I just feel sorry for the guy at this point.
Well, he seems to attract beautiful women--well, assemble might be more fitting, so it cant be all bad.
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
6:27 -The position of Hasselhoff to the microphone is brilliant and hilarious 😂
Corey’s “music”, the little I’ve made myself listen to, left me with bleeding ears and the phrase “Pick a key! ANY key!” then “pick a music NOTE! Any note, that isn’t sharp or flat!”
Then, I said to myself, NO MORE.
OMG.
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 .
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.
Bro he’s crushin it. He has 10 cds worth of music. I’m over here practicing and writing everyday and I can’t get past a bridge with my brain.
I dunno... I am unsure if this is on purpose or just him doing his best with a childlike state of mind...
A good few years' back I used to regularly watch Dancing On Ice and one season he was one of the contestants on it. Now. Before the series starts the contestants all practice and get tutored and rehearse for a few months with their assigned partners... but on the first episode he could still barely stand up on the ice.
On that first episode, when he realised that all the other contestants were *actually* learning how to ice skate you could see that his only aim had been to be a laughable "I can't skate so let's all have fun watching celebrities who can't skate" and the judges really slated him. It seemed like he hadn't grasped the premise of the show. From then on he did try to actually learn something and improve but it was too late and I always felt embrassed for him... (this was a while back but I believe my memory serves me).
I think he has very little self awareness or perhaps not much of an awareness of how certain different kinds of entertainment and performance works or is affective.
My belief is that he needs a director to understand what a presentable live show is. That's what you always have in films. Without one I really do think he's just doing what he thinks is perfectly presentable because he's a performer, but without the guidance needed to *actually* do things in a competent or acceptable way.
But that's all just my completely baseless impression of him. *shrugs*
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.
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.
That’s why you supposed to rehearse this before earlier to make make sure things go perfectly lights fog machines whatever pirate technic unit you do it you rehearse it first
Who would put the Union Jack on stage? Can't imagine. Who would??
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.
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? 😂
@@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.
Nobody brings the Replacements/GG Allin energy (total chaos) these days more than Corey Feldman.
I loved some of the movies he was in as a kid! I've heard some pretty horrific stories about his childhood. Stuff that would definitely mess someone up. I'm glad he's still making an effort. Hope he can get it together one of these days.
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.
If this is a performance, give him an Emmy… for best actor in a musical 😂
I would love for this whole thing with Corey to be “an act”; but unfortunately this is the real thing; and nobody can act that well.
And here I thought "please turn down the houselights" was his lyric. I kind of goes with the flow.
lol
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 .
😊
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.
There *are* people who shoot themselves in the feet so often and in so many cringe-inducing, self-mocking ways that it bewilders the mind and is beyond the capacity of rational thought to process.
There is one person in particular that I know fairly well. My theory is that it is intentional, but on a subconscious level. There is a knack for doing the wrong thing and to produce self-embarrassment that is uncanny. From watching and thinking about this person, I have to believe that there is a subconscious mechanism of self-sabotage at work. It's like a compulsion.
This particular individual has built up an artificial identity based on what he thinks is cool and what gets him off. It is totally at odds with what he really is underneath. I think that maybe the submerged authentic identity is down there and is punishing the individual for the lack of authenticity.
It's either that or a weird knack for doing the wrong thing. But you've got to account for the capacity for that knack. It is not an accidental thing. It is a reliable pattern of behavior that crosses many domains. It's one thing to be a klutz physically. It's another thing to make oneself look like a creep, say the exact wrong thing in the wrong context, to fall flat on your face (literally), etc. It's an essential clumsiness that has to be there for a reason beyond lack of physical or mental agility. In other words, it is simultaneously clumsy *and* precise.
My vote is unconscious, thoughtless intention rather than conscious, thoughtful intention.
brilliant! BOOM
Corey Feldman is the Tommy Wiseau of the stage.
😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t get past the fact that I would ABSOLUTELY hit my face on the mic probably every single time.
He has been doing this stuff for decades with sincerity. He was doing these bad MJ impressions back in the 90s. I don't think its an act. I think he truly believes he is an amazing musician and performer.
That’s because he is!
Alrighty then, who can argue with that??
@@Onewholovesrock He has no vocal range and no original dance moves. And the biggest problem of all is stealing the MJ persona. That's just not acceptable by anyone, anytime. It would be like dressing and acting like Elvis and pretending like you came up with it.
And just like MJ, he is surrounded by enablers who never say “no”.
@@Connection-Lost Yet he still has the whole world watching.
Thank You Sir.
The video we all needed
He is one hundred percent aware and raking it in. Trust me. Brilliant of you to catch this Justin.
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
@@jerhew8 I think its both.
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
Justin, I just discovered you and this channel for myself. I will be checking out your music with The Darkness as well, good sir. Thanks for what you do, and rock on!
Haha the Roberto Bignini reference is spot on (i spelled it wrong too). I think he's channeling more of a David Brent vibe
Naw,. Sarah Brand vibe like the song Red Dress
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 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*
Knew I remembered you from that song lol "I believe in a thing called love"
I'm going to carefully grasp my Guitar 🎸😘
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'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 is trying so hard and is dead serious.. But you are calling it slapstick comedy😂😂 my favorite take on his performances
The mood lighting is similar to a bit that Steve Martin did back in the 70’s, I think on his “Let’s get small” comedy album that was recorded at the troubadour.
