I say this with the highest praise: Andrew WK is what it sounds like when the Trans-Siberian Orchestra plays Misfits songs but the lyrics were rewritten by Tony Robbins.
Omg I’m not the only one who thinks that to himself lol. “Ready to Die” could be played right after Appalachian Snowfall by TSO and no one would even notice.
Dude I saw the same lineup as well, and I shit you not 100 people had climbed up onto the stage and had hoisted Andrew into the air. I’ve been to hundreds and hundreds of shows over the last 30 years, and that was still the most exhilarating concert I’ve ever been to. After the show, I asked Andrew if he could sign my shirt, and he told me to turn around, then he proceeded to write an entire story about the show on my back - like two full paragraphs. It was amazing.
Same for me, Jimmy Coup era was the brightest for Andrew. Andrew could focus on being Andrew, a great front man, and Jimmy elevated his performances even higher.
Haha I can't disagree. The thing that upsets me most is one of the cameramen cutting away from AWK to the drummer, while he delivers what have must have been the most epic double leg kick. You catch the end of it, but damn, every time I watch this, I always get riled.
It literally is the best live performance I've ever seen as well. Especially at 2:30 when the electricity is passing through him. Andrew WK always delivers
I’ve had the joy of seeing Andrew WK live two times two years in a row and both times were the greatest moments in my live concert history. Believe me when I say, that stage and sound system can’t handle AWK! When I saw AWK the lineup was; the same two guitarists and bass player were part of his lineup. Different drummer, a female keyboardist and a THIRD female guitarist 👀 so much power, so much energy and so much PARTY!! My top three live shows of all time 1) Pantera 2) Andrew W.K. 1st time 3) Andrew W.K. 2nd time 😆😝 ( ^_^)O🍻o(^_^ ) cheers!
LOVE how AWK literally sings so little of this amazing song and lets the rest of the band take it while he just loses himself in it. As I do, most days, turning it up in the car to ridiculous volume in a suburb of Manchester, UK. That's a whole lot of contradiction.
I know it's a 3.20 minute song but judging by their pace you'd think they are doing it in under 10 seconds. Still one of my favorite live performances.
He was the headline act back in early 2000s at my first concert. The coral, black rebel motorcycle club, lost prophets then AWK. Will never forget it. Pure fun and epicness 🤘
He actually requested that they play this song. They we're going to play She is Beautiful since it was the other single, but Lorn asked Andrew if they'd play I Get Wet instead.
Just saw him live at Summerfest - he still rocks & the band seems better! He sings better too! The only downside is that the show was only 45 minutes 😢
I’ve seen a lot of excellent performances on SNL for many many years…. this one has easily gotta be at the top of the heap… I got wet myself watching this tbh
He didn't leave, he was let go. But totally agreed, his excellent guitar playing and backing vocals helped to carry the songs and Andrew could shine then being Andrew.
I've been on an andrew wk binge for 3 days and it makes me very happy
AWK is the goddamn man, more ppl need to go on AWK binges
Okay if you insist, I shall start mine right now
This is genuinely Life affirming music

👍

this is the most accurate description of his music i've ever read
Well said. Tony Robbins and Shia labouf when he said just do it.
my GOD that is accurate
Best SNL performance ever? Yes.
Best performance ever period? Yes.
I stand corrected.
great question... and possibly yes. also - Pearl Jam - rearviewmirror, faith no more - epic, the pogues - body of an american, RATM - bulls on parade
Michael Parkinson no doubt about it
Yes! : )
Year 2021: The Audience is still not ready for Andrew W.K.
They will never be ready.
Probably the best frontman ever and his amazing band is all in
And the great Don Tardy from Obituary on drums!!!
We’re still not ready in 2024
From left to right: Dave Mustaine, President Chester A. Arthur, Andrew W. K., Jim from Faith No More, and a contest winner
That isn't Dave
Did you see that the drummer is Donald Tardy from Obituary...
Lmao!!
Far left is Erik Payne.
Um weird al on guitar
No one in that crowd has understood, to this day, what they’ve witnessed. The stunned crowd needed canned applause.
This is the best line up and peak performance. I saw him on this tour nothing will ever be this fun!

The greatest gym album of all time
This blew me away the night it aired. The Rock and Andrew WK? So awesome.
I remember that vividly too. My jaw was at the floor
Before SNL became 100% DNC propaganda.
shut up lol "how dare they disagree with us" lmao@@TL8311-j6x
2:31 the face I make when teh teacher asks me a question that I dont' know
LOL
I've come to the decision that this is my favorite live performance that I've ever seen.
Haha I can't disagree. The thing that upsets me most is one of the cameramen cutting away from AWK to the drummer, while he delivers what have must have been the most epic double leg kick. You catch the end of it, but damn, every time I watch this, I always get riled.
@@PaulOnuska This is one of the few TH-cam comments I agree with.
I wish his vocals were more clear but yes this does in fact rock my face off

Saturday night live had the best rock and metal bands performed. Millennials dont know how great rock bands are. Love Andrew w.k he is the man.
I remember downloading this on Kazaa back in the day. Wow I'm old lol
Limewire where its at
@@venom5552111 I discovered limewire way after Kazaa, which makes me feel way older lol
Same, Yeah we're old 😂
Would you get wet?
I remember buying it
I love this guy!!!
I defy anyone to rock harder than this
20 years ago right now, this was rocking my world and still does
still great
me too brother
The man is pure energy. This should be taught in schools.
At certain moments this dude's basically Nathan Explosion dressed in white.
I know it's a 3.20 minute song but judging by their pace you'd think they are doing it in under 10 seconds. Still one of my favorite live performances.
Same here
He was the headline act back in early 2000s at my first concert. The coral, black rebel motorcycle club, lost prophets then AWK. Will never forget it. Pure fun and epicness 🤘
And look what Ian Watkins is up to now....
I forgot all about The Coral, they were really cool. Still listen to BRMC on the regular
Just shut up dude@@keithkovalic
0:56 Slow mic punch to the beat as the camera pans by is epic.
gregg killed the bass and backing vocals
Two words: FUCKING. EPIC.
アンドリューは、いいバンドに支えられてるよなあ。特にジミーのコーラスの声の良さがたまらなく良い。
Holy high kick Batman at the end!
Gregg on bass is the star here.
His and Jimmy Coup's backing vocals elevate this song to a whole different level.
best performance ever.
I honestly love a headbanger who isn’t disgusting or devoid of personality. 🤟
2023 e essa música pra mim continua um hino!
My favorite part was when he put the microphone down his pants and had a seizure, fire 🔥🔥🔥.
One of the best songs I've heard live
So far ahead of everyone. My favorite rock star as a kid.
Tonight is going to be the last night on earth on a Saturday Night delight. 😁
Andrew W.K. for President!
Literally just the “greatest freak out ever” video with music
Andrew W.K. is the spirit of the party made flesh
Andrew WK has mad respect. Also who wouldn't want in on that party jam?
一番好きな映像
I've watched this soooo many times lol.
DudeJericho same here
2:30 THIS MOMENT
Andrew wk seems like me every time I have a mental breakdown
I dont care for his music, but his drummer is Donald Tardy from OBITUARY! Thats pretty badass!!
That bass player has an awesome voice
Jimmy Coup was so good in this band
2:37 and after just wow :)
Holy. Shit.
OBITUARY!!!!!
Electrifying!
This and the ready to die are my favorite music
If I hear that scream I'd know it anywhere 🎵
Donald Tardy behind the kit! Sick!
Just few thousands view!! AWK Performance deserves more
Xv6vN94 especially this amazing performance
Amazing
Year 2024: We got Rainbows HD and Diamonds HD from this man songs.
TARDY!
Here’s a thought: Andrew WK will be eligible for the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in two years.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!! Amazing
Madden NFL 2003 we all remember 👍
Drummer is fucking intense
It’s Donald Tardy of Obituary, stellar drummer
Thats sooooooo good
MEMORIES
I cannot wait to see this band live
Do yourself a favour. It’s 90 mins of this intense.
@@jacknone1564 too bad he doesn’t tour amymore
we need andrew back
ants when they find a piece of candy
Trust me; this guy is HUGE in 2047
Is this song about a party at a water park?
2:22
What year was this performance 02?
Yes this was 02
Can someone please explain to me how he did that with his face?
What exactly?
Oh, nevermind, I saw the twitching... Yeah, no idea, freaked the hell outta me.
Skilled facial muscles lol
Nice.
YAAAAAAAAAAHHHJJJJJJJJSSSDSSSSSS
nice
Where’s the arm tats? Fukn rad
This album gives me life. Fucking party till you puke everyone. But puke safely 😉
I was sent by Tom Campbell
What does getting wet mean?
If you have to ask you’ve never been wet bro.
ノリアキから来た。
It all became too much for him at 2:30.
andrewwk.exe has stopped working
What kind of dancing is this?
imagine lorne michaels face
He actually requested that they play this song. They we're going to play She is Beautiful since it was the other single, but Lorn asked Andrew if they'd play I Get Wet instead.
damn, what a baller lorne is
Why doesn't he perform with the same intensity nowadays as he did back then?
Getting old is a bitch...
I dunno, i saw him a couple years ago and he def had this same energy
He’s still crazy, maybe not this insane but he still has more energy than 99% of rock /metal shows out there.
@@keithkovalic Seconded
I poop from here
My third cousin is the keyboardist
Most party on snl? I do believe that is correct
What year is this?
Circa 2001
I believe winter or early spring 2002
Just saw him live at Summerfest - he still rocks & the band seems better! He sings better too! The only downside is that the show was only 45 minutes 😢
That Dave mustaine?

Really Don't Care
This is when they were good. When Jimmy left the band and they havnt been the same.
You’re not alone was a sick album and music is worth living for is one of his best tracks.
He didn't leave, he was let go. But totally agreed, his excellent guitar playing and backing vocals helped to carry the songs and Andrew could shine then being Andrew.
