I can't believe you just compared Glastonbury with Rolling Loud 😮
Remember, Britain had theatre before America existed as a nation! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Shakespeare’s globe theatre is one of the oldest theatres and full of history
@@oliverrea3924 followed by Bristol old vic
@@oliverrea3924 The present Globe Theatre is only twenty five years old and not on the site of the original.
@@oliverrea3924 Bristol old vic is Britain’s oldest running theatre and one of the oldest in Europe
@@Rosiecrossley1 that’s why I wrote one of the oldest and not the oldest. One of the oldest does not mean the oldest.
Rolling loud can't be that good I've never heard of it
Glastonbury is much, much bigger than Rolling Loud. It has an audience of 200,000. :-)
There are also festivals for classical music like Glyndebourne and Buxton.
Agreed, although i believe America perhaps started it all with the likes of Woodstock etc. However from then on, Britain probably leads the world in not only festivals but music in general. 🇬🇧
@@Paul-hl8yg Sorry but there were two free concerts held in Hyde Park before Woodstock. The first had about 15,000 people but the second (Stones in the Park) had somewhere between quarter and half a million people. Bear in mind that there were no computers/social media - it was all word of mouth in those days - UK and US. Pretty amazing really.
The Promenade concerts at the Albert Hall is the biggest classical music festival in the world.
@@valeriedavidson2785 Well it only holds about 5-6K people but they way it's broadcast around the world is so clever. It's been a long time since I head it called the Promenade Concerts instead of just the Proms. :-)
@@margaretnicol3423 If I said The Proms and a foreigner read it, they would not know what you were talking about!!
Isn’t glastonbury like...twice as packed as rolling loud?
Probably
Yup. Rolling loud peaks at 80k, Glastonbury averages at 200k. The local villages normal population is 1k
Everyone in England calls it Big Ben. It was renamed Elizabeth Tower. But if you show a Brit that clock they will call it Big Ben.
You're right but Big Ben actually refers to one of the bells.
@@kevanwillis4571 True true.
It'll probably 100 years before Elizabeth Tower catch es on.
Exactly, everyone in uk calls it Big Ben. Never heard of Elizabeth tower and I’m English and 53. Lol. Only pedants will call it Elizabeth tower.
Well... most of you are right in that us British would normally refer to the whole clocktower as Big Ben. Its easier that way. Its only when we get into a pub quiz that we get fussy! The tower - originally had no real name except 'The Clock Tower' then became named St Stephens Tower but went through a name change into the Elizabeth Tower to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 2012. The tower contains many bells that ring out part of the Westminster Chime every 15 minutes . The short part (a quarter of the chime) will ring out at 15minutes past the hour. Half the chime at 30 minutes, and three quarters of the tune at 45 minutes past (or a quarter to). You can google 'Westminster Chimes' to hear it and it consists of only 4 notes: G sharp, F sharp, E and B. Only on the full hour will you hear the full tune or chime followed by the Hour Bell which is known as Big Ben. You can make up your own theory about why it became known as Big Ben because its a bit vague. Popular theory is taken from Sir Benjamin Hall who oversaw the construction. Good job his name wasn't Richard!! John.
Definitely watch some Glastonbury performances, so many legendary artists have played there
The sound of so many girls unsubscribing when he said he doesn't like Ed 😅 and yea big Ben's the bell not the clock and although people are technically right when saying to call the tower Elizabeth tower not Big Ben, i feel like even many Brits just call the entire thing Big Ben, it's the same sort of "correctness" as the union Jack vs union flag thing.
The first thing I thought about when he said he doesn't like Ed was to unsubscribe 😅😅😅
I didn't though 🤣
IKR, who doesn't like Ed sheeran, really???
Glastonbury is the greatest festival in the world dude. Wise up.
OK. And I want to add another one...that really should have been included in the "festivals" thing... We have the BBC Proms!!! This is the world's biggest classical music festival...and, it has to be said, the most egalitarian. It takes place in London (the Royal Albert Hall mostly) over the summer. In a normal (non-Covid) year, there are about 80 concerts and you can get to hear world-class orchestras, singers and soloists for as little as £6.00!! It is the best £6 you will ever spend in London!!
In short, the Brits are bloody good at being bloody good. :-)
Of
If you reacted to Attack the Block... I pray that some point in the future, we can have that chat
Rolling Loud 80,000 people, Glastonbury 200,000 people. Every rock star has either played there or wants to play there. Glastonbury is legendary and is known all over the world. The summer in the UK is just festival after festival. Nobody beats the UK for festivals... Nobody.
You singing "It's coming home.." - cutest thing ever lol - well done that lad:)
Hey man, when are you going to come of the closet? You'll be alright, we will still care, love and accept you!!! 👍🤣💖
and Pomp ...a State opening of Parliament , for example .
Father Ted hilarious and so underrated. Fawlty Towers a British classic and so funny. IT Crowd is obviously funny if you're into computers/gaming but equally as funny if you're not. Like someone said below, The Inbetweeners is so funny too.
Can't believe you didn't realise how many theatre productions and classic music we made
Including the music for your national anthem
Bear in mind that he's a young man.
OMG how can you compare Glastonbury with Rolling Loud Glastonbury is know all around the world and big star really want to get the pyramid stage when you get on that stage you know you've made it in the music industry to be invited to Glastonbury as an artist is a privilege no matter how famous you are .
When it comes to british bands and solo artists that have gone on to make a difference around the world is mind bogling and the difference styles of music from punk and rock we have been their. The music scene is always changing all the time and I say bring it on .
I watched JT reacting to this, this morning.
Glastonbury stretches for miles now , it attracts crowds of over 200,000 . We have amazing schools , some of the best chefs in the world , a Royal Family , and some of the best selling music artists 👍🏻👍🏻 Not too shabby for a country that’s smaller than Texas ‼️
Inbetweeners is the show for you, best British comedy in the last 20 years.
"North of the border dialect in Scotland"? Ugh. Once again another "UK" list that barely mentions anything outside of England and when it does gets it wrong. Your video is great as always, just irritated at Watchmojo.
Well said.
I've heard a lot of Americans think rolling loud is similar but Glastonbury has an avg attendance of 200,000 whereas rolling loud is only avg 75,000 even Download festival in Britain which is more alternative/rock has an avg of 110,000
Maybe you could look at bath and Roman baths. History of it
Or history of a long hold family store called Woolworths or even the history of the Hugh brand M&S stores
Big Ben is the name of the bell within the tower, not the clock.
Ain't been to rolling load. But I've been to Glastonbury and I know you would have to go a long way to beat that.
6:26 In June 2012 the House of Commons announced that the clock tower was to be renamed the Elizabeth Tower in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
Everyone calls it Big Ben, nobody call it Elizabeth Tower. Call it Big Ben.
Before the tower was renamed Elizabeth Tower it was known, colloquially, as St. Stephen's Tower as it was built on the site of the former medieval St. Stephen's Chapel which was destroyed during the fire in 1834(?). Officially, it was simply known as the Clock Tower as there is another tower over the main entrance to Parliament, some distance from the Chapel site, that had been named St. Stephen's Tower. This second tower is quite small, squat and insignificant and was not built until after the Clock Tower and so the colloquial name for the Clock Tower - St. Stephen's Tower - held sway. The bell in the Clock Tower has been called Big Ben since its founding and is a descendant of the medieval naming tradition for church bells throughout the country.
The Clock Tower only came to be called Big Ben about half a century later by conflation with the bell. The purist would always insist on calling it by it's proper name.
@@grapeman63 Most people still call it Big Ben and usually nobody calls it by the previous name or the new one.
Big ben is a traditional name. Thank you for the additional information.
@@darrellpowell6042 When I was a young sprog I, and all my friends and classmates, knew the tower by its colloquial name - St. Stephen's Tower (I think it was in a Children's book of facts) and knew that only the bell was called Big Ben. The tower has been known, colloquially, by this name since its foundations were laid in 1835. Its namesake was not built for another decade. Calling the tower Big Ben is very much a 20th century occurance so I'm not sure that you can claim it as a tradition.
@@grapeman63 The 20th century is the entire 100 years of the 1900's to 2000.
Big Ben is MORE so a tradition as its very much known world wide as Big Ben. JPS even says so, he's American.
Big Ben the nickname is more known than the other names for longer and therefore a traditional name.
Traditions are what?
Definition:
the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on in this way.
So yes I'm correct traditional the nickname of Big Ben is more so known and passed on by generations of the nickname, hence the world knows the clock tower as Big Ben.
@@darrellpowell6042 I'm not disagreeing with you. I am fully aware that internationally the tower is often, incorrectly, referred to as Big Ben. The UK parliament insists that every book that mentions the tower as Big Ben contains a rider to clarify that they are referring to the tower, the clock and the bell since only the Great Bell (there are actually 5 bells in the tower) is traditionally known as Big Ben, possibly after the Clerk of Works, Sir Benjamin Hall, who was in office when the bell was raised.
Incidentally, newspaper reporting of the proceedings of the House of Commons was always styled as "News from St. Stephen's Hall" as this is where the HoC sat. This continued long after the HoC moved to their current chamber. This further reinforced the tower as St. Stephen's Tower in the perception of the general public. You could make the argument that the tower was known as:
Officially: The Clock Tower (now Elizabeth Tower)
Traditionally: St. Stephen's Tower
Nickname: Big Ben.
It’s not the clock… It’s the bell!
Brit here, but teetotal.
I reckon you should watch the film 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' think you will love it ⭐
One of my favourites 👍🏻👍🏻
Close , Big Ben is the bell .
Yes but I'm one Brit that has always called the tower clock and bell Big Ben .... On Trip they say ..On the left is Big Ben
@@karencurtis2697 Same here .
Nice one joel well done, or as Oliver said can I have some more please sir.
You’ve got to watch Peep Show!
Agreed…react to this and also David Mitchell generally…particularly on Would I lie to you when he has a rant. You looked a bit confused with Ricky Gervais doing his dance…it’s from the original (and much better 😉) version of the Office.
How have you missed those films? Obviously you have seen Die Hard! Most Brits call it Big Ben, so don't concern yourself with remembering to call it Elizabeth Tower.
'Big Ben' is the name of the great bell that sits in the clock tower which was the original name for the tower. It was renamed 'Elizabeth Tower' in 2012 to mark the diamond jubilee (60th anniversary) of Queen Elizabeth's reign.
@@shoutinghorse No the original name of the tower is St Stephens Tower
@@raye402 That is what I, a Republican, call it still. And it's Crossrail, not the Elizabeth line.
@@raye402 Sorry but you are wrong.
'St Stephen's Tower: regularly used in newspapers, guide books and by 'that bloke down the pub who likes correcting people'. Pros: sounds more official than Big Ben. Cons: it's completely incorrect. St Stephen's is another (smaller) tower over the main public entrance. The tower never officially held this name, but many think it did.'

I'm 57 I know the bell is Big Ben but every time I visit London we got to see Big Ben 🤗
Our music festivals are great. To be fair though, other countries gt it right too - Rock am Ring in Germany was awesome 😁
Big Ben is the bell not the clock on the Elizabeth Tower.
Also the one thing that wasn't mentioned in this video is the fact that the Brits are the most innovative nation on earth we invented the entire modern world and we also invented the Industrial Revolution along with all the machinery that went with it. We harnessed and understood electricity before any other nation on earth and manufactured everything to do with electrical devices.
Looking good jps ..with those specs that lip seal u got on !))xx
When you think that the drinking age is 18 not 21 like in the USA, but we have other strange laws that would never be allowed in the USA , for example a 16 year old can have a alcoholic drink with a meal whilst out with perants at a restaurant .
That's not a strange law. The strange one is America's drinking age and the rest of the world agrees. Is there any other non-Muslim country where it's 21?
actually it's 14 with a meal
Definitely do a reaction to Peep Show - it’s hilarious. Very British humour though - I’m not sure Americans would get it 😂
"Big Ben" is the bell, not the clock. :)
Ed sheeran is 'not my cup of tea' either! Talented lad though!
i don't like Ed Sheeran or Adele they bore me to tears.
Why are you in a cupboard in the dark?
Couple of great movies came up during the video: Bronson and Trainspotting.
And yeah there's no shame in dissing Ed Sheeran. Unless you're someone's grandma.
Carry on calling it Big Ben. All Brits do anyway. We just like correcting Americans on reaction videos! 😝
If you come over you must go to the theatre. I haven't been for years but it is fantastic. I am not keen on Ed Sheeran either.
There are loads of castles and old buildings but there are lots of ugly buildings too!
Big Ben is the bell lol
It was only named the Elizabeth Tower a few years ago. To be honest most people called it big ben before.
Big Ben is not the clock it is the hour bell.
Pick a random major city from England and Google bands and artists from there and you'll realise how much music comes from here especially considering the size comparison e.g Manchester:
Joy division, stone roses, the smiths, elbow, happy Mondays, New order, Oasis, 808 state, the 1975, 10cc, the bee gees, the buzz cocks, the courteneers, Morissey, simply red, Harry styles from 1d, the verve, bugzy Malone, Rick Astley, some of thin lizzy, take that, the chemical brothers.
That's not even 1/5 of the bands and artist from Manchester which is 1 city that is only 45 square miles.
Drinking! Spot on 👍🏼🤣
We have much better music festivals than what's mentioned here. You forgot BLOODSTOCK, Damnation,, darkness guides us, HAMMERFEST, Hard Rock Hell etc. Not to mention METAL HAMMER is a BRITISH owned company etc
Dude you got it wrong again..lol.. big Ben is the bell inside the clock tower... much love though dude.. keep up the good work... 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
No Joel. The tenor bell is "Big Ben"...not the clock and, as you correctly said, not the tower. (But we do love to hear tourists - and many British people - get it wrong. We British love being smug, given half the chance! We do that very well too! :) )
Big Ben is the bell not clock and
We have to be fair to then we do call the tower big Ben our self just for ease and like to pull every foreign person for the mistake we are happy to make
Big Ben, is the largest bell, not the clock.
Er, Hello. Edinburgh International Festival. Attendance over 420,000 in 2019 and been going for over 70 years. It's "Brits", not "English".
I never comment, but I love watching your videos! Thank you for putting in the effort to upload so regularly.
It's probably already been said by others, but Rolling Loud gets circa 80k - 190k in attendance. Which is good, but pales into insignificance by you compare it to Glastonbury and it's 250k every year. Sell out. They could probably sell double that, but there's literally not enough land in which the people would stand. 👍
It's not a competition....we have great talent on both sides of the pond, I have to say Glastonbury brings 185000 people on a good weekend....with the help of you guys!! FYI that ginger dude, is not so good!!!😂😁😆✌
Hey new subscriber here. Sorry, I had to comment....."You HAVEN'T seen The Fifth Element???" I need to express shock and surprise! I'm no movie buff, but that one is brilliant! :-)
My guy said rolling loud when speaking on Glastonbury 😂😂😂😂😂
The title reads"we're bloody good at" , not best at
Ed Sheeran is like 'Marmite' in his home country-you either like him or you don't-Personally I don't care either way,as I see him harken back to the 1970s era singer-songwriters like James Taylor,Joni Mitchell,Jackson Browne,etc.
Check out Fun loving criminals at Glastonbury singing Scooby Snacks. The singer Huey Morgan can't believe his eyes.
Comparing Rolling Loud to Glastonbury is Like Comparing a Cheeseburger to a steak!
Glastonbury is the most iconic music festival in the world and to headline Glastonbury is the pinnacle.
You really should do you your research before making such a typical arrogant uneducated American opinion thinking everything in America is bigger.
I'll take it easy this time because I understand you are making the effort to learn but Glastonbury is common knowledge.
Anyway For some reason I do enjoy watching your videos so.keep up the good work but research something before you make a judgement opinion.
All good in the hood.
some are good at getting tattoos before winning a certain sporting competition 🤣
Ach well it's good for the banter.
Can you find one that lists 10 things Americans are bloody good at then you can look as smug as the Brits on here? :-D
smugness is another thing Brits are good at
I'm a Brit and I don't know about other American versions of British comedy but I do know that I can't stand the British version of The Office, except for Rickey Gervais in it, he's brilliant, but the rest make me cringe. Of the American version I've only seen what's on RUclips but I find I don't cringe watching that version. Trouble is the one full episode I found I was a bit lost as to what was going on, but the acting and everything else was much better than the British version.
We're bloody good at multi sports 💯💪🥇
Us the English, the Scots & Germans are the best drinkers worldwide. Not that u get any prizes or trophies for. Unfortunately u Americans can't drink shit. Mainly as all your Beers are Lite. Why is that ?
glasses look good on you JPS haha
Best universities are in the USA, not the UK. The USA has the top three universities. Number four is British, and it isn't Oxford or Cambridge.
if a British band "breaks" America they are global .... these global bands and all the hardcore definitive artists play at our festivals ( you are talking about eurythmics , queen etc etc ) .
If you want to know what american artist are like ( and to be honest are superb ) but you have to look at BLUR a fine British act that could not break America ... but they released a "piss take " song ie: titled "song 2 "
a song about absolutely nothing = gibberish... and it was a hit
Big Ben ISN'T the clock. It's the name of the bell inside the clock tower.
Unless in humour, comparisons aren't a great idea, you would be knocking yourself. Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Sorry to have to correct you but Big Ben is actually a bell, not the clock. The correct name for the clock is the Elizebeth Tower Clock, though it is also referred to as the Dent Clock, after its maker and sometimes as the Great Clock. Big Ben is the largest of the bells in the tower and chimes the hour count.
My first concert was watching Michael Jackson Bad tour at Wembley.
lol knew the takeback was gonna happen xd
Oops, Joel, you are correct about the Elizabeth Tower, but you went on to say Big Ben was the clock. I am sure that was a slip on your part, as I have heard you say elsewhere BB is the bell.
Sorry mate but you still got it wrong, big Ben isn't the clock either, it's the Bell 🛎 inside. Lol.
You look like Harry Potter in your wardrobe jps 😂
Big Ben is the bell not the clock. You should check out a vid in the British music invasion of America.
Great festivals are made by the bands that perform in them... not the country.
You was close, Big Ben is the name of the bell in the clock tower, not the clock ;) your welcome
Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Ed Sheeran!!🥱🥱🇬🇧
Yes to theatre, and of course playing bad guys. I think they are right about slang, and it's beyond dispute that Britain basically invented the idea of competitive sports, and created nearly every one I order that others could beat us at them. History might be contentious, everywhere has history, but from a tourist perspective, I think thats true. Comedy, well most nations have it, even Germany, but I think we are best. When it comes to literature, we'll we have the advantage in writing in English, but so do Americans, and while there are great American writers, there is no equivalent to Shakespeare or Dickens. As for music festivals, I suppose the test is this, is an American familiar with Glastonbury? I have only ever heard of one American festival, Woodstock, and that was I the 60s. American festivals are not discussed in the media over here.
I would quibble with some, firstly American universities may not be as old, but the best of them are actually more highly reguarded than Oxford and Cambridge. The other is actually the number one, presuming we are talking about popular music, not classical, then it's a contest between the US and UK, I think I would give that one to the US. They invented, Jazz, Swing, Rock and Roll, Blues, Country, Mo Town and Rap. I think what we did was very often take those forms and transform them into something different. Perhaps it would be fair to say the UK rules when it comes to unique performers.
Scots isn't a dialect or slang. It's a language that predates English.
Just to give you the correct history big Ben is the name of the Bell inside not the clock
uuuummmm its early morning here in the uk now if i think and remember any tv programs i will type them let you know in one of your youtube videos
Coming from the UK it can be hard for some people to understand the difference accents around the Britain and the difference dialects used not including all the slang from the all around the UK.
Ed Sheeran needs to piss off back to Fraggle Rock.
and as a brit ill happily hold my hands up and apologise to your whole nation for james corden.......sorry
Do we start drinking early? I mean 5 is a reasonable age isn't it? At least we have a minimum age, some countries don't.
The Elizabeth tower yes 🙌🏻. BIG BEN is the Bell 🔔
Big Ben is not the clock ,it’s the bell within the clock tower 👍🇬🇧
I gave you a thumb up just for not liking edd sheeran
BigBen is not the clock. BigBen is the bell in the tower.
