In late February, Peter wrote and recorded a song called 'If I Could Pray' with the instrumental backing of Monk's Road Social. Inspired by his work with Coram, he wrote it as a message to kids who have gone through rough childhoods, especially those in the adoption and foster care systems. It's a fantastic piece of music and I implore you to check it out! You can find it on Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Play, amongst other places.
He's an incredible illustrator as well. Met him at Fan Expo once and after going through my sketchbook, he asked me if he could draw his favourite Doctor in my book. Got a sketch of Jon Pertwee's Third doctor in my book.
Because 12's style mimics Peter's own, I just imagine in most of these videos that it's just the doctor traveling through time and appearing along side these other bands and just vibing with them.
Me: Ah, I see they didn't choose another young pretty boy for Doctor Who. Will be disappointing for the fangirls. *hears Peter Capaldi sing Lou Reed* Me, a fangirl: *blushes intensely* wait
So not only is he a phenomenal actor, but an excellent musician and an incredible artist as well. (Check out the drawings he did all over his Doctor Who scripts.)
so funny: i hated the idea of the older, less (at first) charismatic Doctor Who in Capaldi. the more i see, the more i realize he's amazing. so much indescribable love
That is a possibility, I never read anything on the specifics of his departure. Naturally, good Dr.Who info is difficult to come by across the pond. I feel like he was just getting to the point where he was capturing the essence of his portrayal of Dr. Who. Totally believe he could have had 10+ seasons in the role. He is such a charismatic, extremely talented actor.
@@doc7577 I remember him saying that he wanted to stop while he loved it. He didn't want to play the Doctor too long because he'd become bored and he'd never want Dr. Who to feel like a job. And honestly considering how shitty Chris Chibnall's episodes were I'm glad he didn't stay. He had a satisfying send-off and I'm glad he didn't stay on for shitty writing. This way I could pretend the show ended when he left.
@@RedBoothStudios2015 Oh, no no. I had videos up in 2014 about the band. I recently privated a couple because I'm updating them. I kept the old Outer Limits video up though because it still gets a lot of traction thanks to RadioTimes and other places linking to it back in the S8 hype days.
@@vvinicius100 There’s a few of their songs on TH-cam! Please check them out, they’re genuinely so good. Despite being 80s post-punk, they sound really modern.
Yep. Totally not a musician. Yeah, right. :D Having said that, here's who Mr. Capaldi should collaborate with: Hugh Laurie. They've both done blues music, for example. I'd buy that album in a heartbeat.
It would be SUCH a dream come true if Peter Capaldi sang the Third Doctor's 'Venusian lullaby' from the Curse of Peladon! I know his run as the Doctor is over, but still...
He is a musician. He was the lead singer in an 80s punk band called The Dreamboys. Craig Ferguson was the drummer. You can find several of their songs here on TH-cam.
I knew it!!! His guitar finesse far exceeds his singing; not saying he has amazing vocal skills, but hot damn.... I mean dog....oh, what the hell, his guitar skills is one of the electrifying traits that makes the 12th Doctor....😍.. something tells me I haven't let 12 go YET ( again, not saying Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor isn't a bad incarnation, she'll find some rhythm and spunk down the road, but Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor HAD the rhythm and spunk, with a sprinkling of punkiness from Deep Breath all.... the....way..to Twice Upon a Time. 12 did say it's been rock and roll...for three years ( 2014-2017 ) it sure was, it's sure as pure was ). Thanks for posting this video, Alien With a Box ( Rock on you scary handsome, fashionable, silver fox, almost 61 years old Rockstar of a Doctor you!!! I wanted to say that..so again, thanks for posting this. Now I'm done...😊 PHEW!! )
I need to say that : I have read your comments in meny videos, and I like them very much. I know both of us share "Peter fever", an affliction with no cure. Resistance is futile.
Is it odd Peter was the one who inspired me to start learning the electric guitar? Haven't made much progress since 2013 since major life events keep getting in the way, but one day.
He was lead singer for an 80s punk band called The Dreamboys. Craig Ferguson (yes, the comedian) on drums. There are at least three of their songs here on TH-cam.
I know what he means in that I am decent at sketching but completely lack the creativity to call myself an artists. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a fantastic guitarist/singer lol
Thanks. I always laughed when he claimed he wasn't a musician. I think he's not humble. He just really feels that a true musician thinks about it all day, it's something that you can't get out of your head. He does it because he likes it, and is good at it. But doesn't realize, HE IS A MUSICIAN. Through and through.
He is, even though he hasn’t been lead singer in a band for awhile. Check out the 80s punk band, The Dreamboys, here on TH-cam. That’s Craig Ferguson (the comedian) on the drums, in the background.
Oh god I've never seen Peter Capaldi when he was young. I look just like him. Wtf. Is he a good example of what I may look like at his age???? That's good I guess because he looks great. But like, wtf. That was really weird for me to see a guy who i so closely resemble
I remember when I was supposed to go see Christopher Robin with my family in the Cinemas in Blackburn, about a month later we went down to the movies to go see it if it was still there. We saw that the poster was outside but none of us saw the date, so we went up about 5 flights of stairs JUST to go see if it was still out to watch. So we got to the reception (after carrying heavy coats, heavy bags and food we already got from the shops) to find out that the movie was only on for a week at the Blackburn Cinema, I said “Well one of you people should’ve removed the bleeding poster!”
That's from a TV show, he was however in a band called the dreamboats (originally bastards from hell) you can find some of their songs by searching the band on TH-cam
If they got Peter Cullen as Eeyore, it would have been a dream come true for my childhood; Obi Wan as Christopher, with Doctor Who (Rabbit) and Optimus Prime (one of the Eeyore voices)…. A missed opportunity, but dreams never die.
@@Bee._11037 Look at the year this was uploaded. Now look at the year his album released. I even have a pinned comment where I mention the release of a song he did after I made the video.
I read from a Facebook post that Peter Capaldi is going to play Frollo in the Live Action Hunchback Remake. It's probably not even true but I had to look up if he could sing. Eh...I guess but I can't really imagine Peter singing Hellfire. The best Villain song ever made.
The engineer who recorded it said he sang it himself (which is obvious if you listen to it) and it was a complete version of the whole song, which was written for the show. I'd kill for that. I love the song.
Hold up, HOLD UP HE SANG IN CHRISTOPHER ROBIN!?!!!! Oh my god I’m in love. Also I desperately want to know the context of why he is wearing a killjoy costume in jail in that one clip.
The lady he's singing to is his wife. Their son was killed due to poor safety standards at his workplace and the company got away with it, so the wife committed arson to get back at them. She was on trial when the husband came into the courtroom, dressed as a clown, to emphasis that the entire trial was a joke. He was detained for disruption.
@@mypatronusisthedoctor2211 It's a live performance so Shazam won't work. I tried googling the lyrics but nothing is cropping up. It was a Christmas pantomime.
What Capaldi is probably reacting against when he says he's "not a musician" are some of the more pyrotechnic solos the Doctor plays on the show that Capaldi did not play and only mimed to. He's a good guitar player, but not that good.

He's a good guitarist, but he does not have those Ven Halen-ish skills, no matter what Dr Who PR says. Anyone who knows anything about guitar would say the same.
@@jrpipikSeriously? You never heard his lead guitar and vocals in The Dreamboys? Next you’ll say Craig Ferguson couldn’t have possibly been playing drums behind Capaldi because he’s a comedian. (Equally as incorrect.) Just saying-check out how the man is indeed an insanely talented musician, first.

He's an incredible illustrator as well. Met him at Fan Expo once and after going through my sketchbook, he asked me if he could draw his favourite Doctor in my book. Got a sketch of Jon Pertwee's Third doctor in my book.
Him singing makes him 1,000x hotter and I didn’t know that was possible
Because 12's style mimics Peter's own, I just imagine in most of these videos that it's just the doctor traveling through time and appearing along side these other bands and just vibing with them.
Peter Capaldi should have played more guitar during his time as 12 and should have had another couple of seasons
They should've let him play play it more especially after Clara left it could've been a coping mechanism
He should have had a sonic guitar.
@@GothamClive I was just thinking that. Though would be hard running around and trying to hide it.
@@GothamClive Ay? You mean a screwdriver guitar? All instruments are sonic, that's the point.
I think he hit his stride as The Doctor when he got the guitar, sunglasses and hoodie. Unfortunately, he had to cope with Steven Moffat's bad ideas.
Me: Ah, I see they didn't choose another young pretty boy for Doctor Who. Will be disappointing for the fangirls.
*hears Peter Capaldi sing Lou Reed*
Me, a fangirl: *blushes intensely* wait

Sad his run as THE Dr. was cut sooo short. I believe he could have had a Tom Baker run!

He's got that gravelly bluesy voice. Talented.
Very talented actor/singer/musician and artist. Also the best Doctor. He should still be the rockin’ Doctor Who!
That moment when they don’t show Peter Capaldi’s band “The Dreamboys”
I didn't show it because I already have a few videos dedicated to the band by itself.
AlienWithABox Oh yo, those weren’t there when I was last here. I’m glad Peter’s band is getting recognised 👌🏼👏🏼 Or I’m just blind lol

He and Craig Ferguson were even in a punk rock band together when they were teenagers.
Bastards from Hell
Or, The Dreamboys
My favorite band that I've never listen to

Good God I love this man - he can do it all, from drawing, singing, playing guitar, acting - what isn't there to love???
Yep. Totally not a musician.
Yeah, right. :D
Having said that, here's who Mr. Capaldi should collaborate with: Hugh Laurie. They've both done blues music, for example. I'd buy that album in a heartbeat.
That's probably the best idea ever.
I was literally thinking of that! Capaldi’s voice sounds similar to Hugh’s and I really want to hear them together now haha.
With Craig Ferguson on drums. :)
Peter singing Velvet Underground is everything wow
It would be SUCH a dream come true if Peter Capaldi sang the Third Doctor's 'Venusian lullaby' from the Curse of Peladon! I know his run as the Doctor is over, but still...
I knew he was great at the guitar, but I never heard him sing so I had no idea what to expect. His voice is so unique and cool!
He's actually really good, he definitely could have been a musician. It's amazing, he's multi talented, he can sing, draw and act very well.
He is a musician. He was the lead singer in an 80s punk band called The Dreamboys. Craig Ferguson was the drummer. You can find several of their songs here on TH-cam.
why oh why wasn't there a Doctor Who Proms during his run! That would have been bad ass!
He has a beautiful voice, but his guitar skills are somehow even better! His musical talent is extraordinary and exceeds all expectations.
Have I been listening to St Christopher on repeat since I found the album? Yes I have
You were RIGHT to make this video! Just absolutely right!

Well... Now that I had the pleasure to hear Capaldi singing Desperado...
I'm pretty sure that I finished life
It just cannot get any better than this.
Peter Capaldi playing David Bowie is all I need
Love his voice, love his guitar. I love everything about him!!
Is it odd Peter was the one who inspired me to start learning the electric guitar? Haven't made much progress since 2013 since major life events keep getting in the way, but one day.
like he actually has such a nice voice i wonder how life would've been if he was a singer instead
Go listen to his album St Christopher. I really like it
He was lead singer for an 80s punk band called The Dreamboys. Craig Ferguson (yes, the comedian) on drums. There are at least three of their songs here on TH-cam.
St. Christopher is an intriguing and introspective album. I listen often
Capaldi should've had two more seasons as The Doctor
He had three.
The cut from peter capaldi to house md jumpscared me so hard
It's not from House MD, but from Fortysomething
i want to be like him when i get old
Peter Capaldi: You Are (Not) A Musician
Anyone could deny that.
Peter Capaldi you are a legendary soul. I hope you see how much people love you x
I know what he means in that I am decent at sketching but completely lack the creativity to call myself an artists. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a fantastic guitarist/singer lol
If you draw you’re an artist. Everyone starts somewhere.
Rule NO.1. The doctor lies
wow! he's a bloody good musician!
hearing him do "pale blue eyes" by rem... WOW! i'd buy that in a second!!
That’s a Velvet Underground actually ;)
Thank you for this! There's no such thing as too much Peter Capaldi!
Thanks. I always laughed when he claimed he wasn't a musician. I think he's not humble. He just really feels that a true musician thinks about it all day, it's something that you can't get out of your head. He does it because he likes it, and is good at it.

I think everything he does is golden.
*Eager to hear his version of Hellfire*
I can't dance
I can't talk
Only thing about me is the way I run !

I genuinely didn't notice that he was actually playing when acting as the doctor
Wow! Capaldi is a great artist, not just a great actor. Thanks for this video, mate!
Beautiful, thank you so much!
Jeez, the Doctor sure had quite a few musical adventures for a while😎😎😎
The excuse became even more indefensible when he put out that solo record.
Peter is awesome with a guitar. The Doctor Who Theme with electric guitar is so good.

9 dances while 12 sings
If you know "Pale Blue Eyes", then you know music.
