- It's been a while, but finally there is a new episode of "Be Nice!". For those of you who may be new here, "Be Nice!" is the segment where I'm ONLY allowed to say nice things or give constructive feedback. Today we are faced with a cautionary tale, a warning about getting "Swoll" or "swole" if you spell it like the other gym people do. Be warned, it's quite an intense video and message.

“If you touch that man by the back of his neck like that, you can just carry him around… he goes all limb, ..his eyes half closed, ‘cause he’s just pleased to feel that touch…it reminds him of his mum”.
Absolutely priceless 😂
I happened to be reading this comment precisely as he said those words in the video.
lol
@@JWMCMLXXX me too 😂
I think Flight of the Conchords would have been proud of that Get Swoll improv you did here. :)
Ah, I came here just to make that comment!
“When you get to that level of fitness, even very serious food poisoning can’t keep you down” Oh God - so funny. Justin Hawkins x
The funniest thing about this video is the actual song is complete and utter garbage and then you have Justin, who is an actual living and breathing musician with talent for days transcribing this horrendous song on an acoustic guitar and actually making it sound decent 🤣 🤣 well done my friend, keep on rocking(in the free world)....
Justin did not transcribe this as he has no need to because of his excellent finger to ear coordination. Decent instrumentalists can hear a tune and work in out in minutes, virtuosos in REAL-TIME with a 1 second delay. Credit where credit's due.
That is a tasty Neil Young song
What a glorious moment at 6:05. I come back for it every few days.
The moral of this song ultimately is ‘never pull a piece out on your coach’
Your channel is really growing on me😉
I see what you did there.
It's really growing on MEEEEEEEE-E!
😄😄😄
Or is he growing on you? 😉👍
I want to banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame!
There's just no rock male singer that sings a clean soprano out there like Justin. One of a kind. And the rest of the range is incredible of course. One ingredient of why I love the darkness. Justin is always in his element as an entertainer, at a concert or TH-cam.
Wolf can. Listen to “Resolve”. His voice is beautiful and clean. He’s awesome and funny live.
It was actually his mother, the goddess Thetis who held Achilles heel when dipping him, - because she feared he might drown. Which later became his downfall, as we all know. Deep psychological stuff hidden in there. Just as in your as usual excellent musical and sociocultural analysis of this forgotten gem.
This reminds me of being in art school and having to come up with thoughtful meaningful critiques of projects by people who didn't try
You're a better man than most.
Not sure why someone so humorless would go to art school
Solidarity
I wouldn't have suited art school then as I just can't lie about something, if it's awful I'll call it.
I don’t know anything about music rights and all that but if you and the Darkness covered the songs you’ve featured of the “say something nice” segments I would purchase that record the day it was released
...and again every day thereafter
This is awesome!!! I'd love to hear you do a rendition of ascension Millennium by Corey Feldman 😂😂
@540マンモス Because such a release would be too awesome not to own
This was one of the funniest "Be Nice" videos I've seen in a long time - love your ability to just look past the fact the song is completely mad, but then turn it into a small ballad! Amazing and yes I agree, that passing chord is lovely!
I have no words to express the joy I feel when I revisit this video 😆
Truly a masterpiece you have created.
Holy shit dude, I've had a great day, but you still managed to make it better. I love you.
"make sure those eggs are recently laid" LMAO.
I actually like this "Get Swole" x "Justin Rides Again" outro remix 😂😂😂
This is one of the funniest videos you have ever made, maybe I'm just in the mood. I also do some weight training so it is extra hilarious to me; I ain't swole, though. The ad libbing was primo and alarmed my coworkers with my guffaws. Noice!💪
Just remember, if you get swole, Ibuprofen is a good anti-inflammatory.
I agree... I was laughing all the way to the end.
GET SWOLE!!
Beat me to it...this some fine work and the unplugged version is sublime!
@@BlueZirnitra Also lay off the Viagra.
I don't know how I missed your commentary on this video other than the picture of Mr Beefcake was turn off enough for me. However, I am now glad I took a peak behind the curtain because the brilliance of your review is now one of my favorites. Good one!
Hahaha....spit my lunch out during your discussion of how the backwards hat is covering his neck, to prevent being touched there....very funny! Thanks for your insights and great dicourse. I learn some music theory, and nuggets about how music is crafted. Nicely done sir!
I had to quit watching the video to hit the gym…I’m distressingly under-swolled 💪😂. Awesome stuff Justin!
I loved getting to hear more of your playing and singing in this video. I don't think I really understood how talented of a player you were from The Darkness tunes.
This was truly fantastic work.
Your comment about the neck carry was hysterical 😂😂👍.
You crack me up Justin Hawkins! Keep up the great work! Love your witty comments!
'woa, key change!'
Shat my lips at the line "He goes all limp and his eyes close". Justin, your comic timing is spot on!
I shat my lips at the line, "shat my lips!" I'm gonna use that later, thanks. 😊
Wonderful video, brought me joy! ^_^
Fun facts: It was the River Styx, one of the rivers of the Underworld that froms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld (also, a Goddess). Achilles was dipped in it by his mother, except for his heel.
Any oath sworn by the Styx is *the* most binding oath.
Swoke should definitely be a term used to describe those muscular people that encourage and help out all the "works in progress" at the gym!
swoke!!! ha ha ha
Invincibility juice 😂Justin you are on fire today!
I love your positivity Justin, I come here for a regular dose of it… and your analytic skills are priceless. Don’t ever stop mate!
Exactly Justin! Don't just chuck the weights down, someone might be in Shivasana in a nearby room, thanks for putting that into song during my own struggle with this issue...
Acoustic bit was absolutely class!
This is a great positive channel and I always end up with a big grin on my face. Nice one. Where is this gonna end 1 million subs ?
He planned to make more!
Sad that Rich Piana is no longer with us. He was open and honest about his steroid use and was well aware that he was pushing the limits with how much he was taking and how big he was getting. Today's bodybuilders are using way too much and are getting so big that it is not only deadly but not aesthetically pleasing either. I admired Piana's honesty about his steroid usage because it really irks me when I see blown up bodybuilders endorse protein powders and give kids a false hope of achieving the same body without drugs. Sorry for the long ass post. Awesome channel Justin! Keep up the great work and rock on!
Why would kids (or anyone who isn’t a professional competitive bodybuilder) want to look “swole”?
It’s not attractive looking.
Justin is naturally hilarious! 😂
"It seems there are some incidental characters". I enjoy these videos so much.
I've only just found your TH-cam channel after you kept popping up on the TikTok with some interesting comments about stuff. Your musical intellect and passion for dissecting the music, the lyrics and the intention behind the song is wonderful to listen to. Hard to disagree with you on most things.
A smelting cave....sword...plains of mordor.....
JHawkins kills it in this video as always. That acoustic interlude and lyrics you toss in around 11:00 minutes- I will be watching out for it on the next Darkness album, better make sure you give the right songwriting credits.
Amazing video, Mr. Hawkins! I wasn't sure if you were going to make it through being nice, but I guess the thought of that mountain of a man out in the world somewhere mad at you probably engenders niceness.
This is my new favorite video of yours, narrowly beating out the AQUA video. Bravo. The get swoll ad lib is some of your best work.
This was hysterical!
Priceless😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Justin!
The accoustic version is brilliant❤️
Your comedic side just shines. Please do more of this. In a nice way though!
I had 0 time available today but I absolutely will come back and watch this.
I love be nice vids!
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins
Now thanks to this channel, every time I pick up my acoustic , the first thing I sing and play is “Juuustin Hawkins rides aaagain….. AGAIN.”
This might be the funniest thing I've seen in a long while.
Thank you so much for your humour and to educate on any kind of music, even this one. Hilarious. You are doing great and cannot wait for the next video.
I am glad you gave this video the serious review it deserved.
Justin Hawkins, deep listening. Reaching across the aisle.
With impressive pipes.
You’re killin me with this one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent analysis. 😀
Justin could you please get a cable tie and fix the cable on your microphone!
NGL, I'm kinda digging the acoustic version that Justin is playing here
"Whoaaar key change!" 🤣🤣🤣
I was impressed with Justin knowledge of the Classics, until Invincibility Juice - then impressed by his humor.
These videos always make me chuckle
I think this my favorite of your analysis videos
Hilarious! Great channel, Justin. Cheers
The next Darkness album NEEDS a cover of get swoll on it.
dood. no.
Omg Justin, BEST ONE YET! 🤣
What a dreadful track, great channel, thanks Justin. 👍👍👍👊✌️.
I think this is the funniest JHRA. It’s a masterpiece.
Goodness hilarious how sincere you are at times.
This video is hands-down the funniest thing I've seen this year!
Priceless! Pissed myself laughing .
Carry him around, he'll just goes limp!!!!!! That was funny, Justin!
I legit want Justin to do a full acoustic cover of this song with some ad libbed lyrics.
It's not challenging. You're always nice, even in your critique. I always appreciate your demeanor and it's had an influence on me.
"Its like woke but for people who go to the gym" is the best way to put that
Hands down, best episode of James Gan... er, Justin Hawkins Rides Again, yet. Stupendous.
This made me chuckle at the end of a long day - thanks Justin!
Your ad lib skills are amazing and had me laughing. Appreciate your videos and all the positivity.
Just about the funniest JHRA video yet!
This just made me lol all the way through! You are hilarity itself.
I'm loving hearing Justin rattle that old Gibson acoustic 😍
My suggestion for extra lyrics for the 12in
I gotta be huge, muscles is my mission
I have to wear glasses ‘cos I ain’t got 20/20 vision
I’m happy for them to use this, as long as I get a writing credit.
You are amazing! Thank you for this masterpiece.
The big guy in the video, Rich Piana, died from drug related causes. His heart and liver were twice the size of an average adult male. The price of getting swoll.
PED abuse is no joke, for sure.
Tragic? Heh
Yeah, dude had chronic body dysmorphia and bigorexia. Before his death he ran a cycle, publicised on TH-cam called Bigger by the Day, documenting all of the gear he was using. People said it was absurd, particularly at his age. He had PMMA injected into his arms, likely used a lot of synthol as well.
He was a decent guy, and in one of his videos he detailed how his father told him to do whatever it takes to win his first bodybuilding show, giving him some cash which he went across to Tijuana with to buy whatever steroids he could get his hands on. Bodybuilding often attracts people with deep rooted insecurities and self esteem issues and the industry preys on them - it’s perverse
So his heart and liver got swole?
@@K4ZUY4MISHM4 , I noticed that when I was a fitness trainer. Most of the “swole” dudes were on `roids. There’s almost nothing healthy about the fitness industry, which is why I left it.
This “song” just sucks. I don’t know how Justin can do these without laughing.
One of the better videos that you've done recently (not that the others have been bad). Very funny.
LOL. LOL. LOL. Thanks for this. A fun watch
Thank you. I needed this.
The 'in memory of coach' bit is referring to the bodybuilder Rich Patina, who played coach. He's dead now, he must have died shortly after they shot this video
Thank you, I thought that was Piana (the bodybuilder covered in tattoos) but didn't know for sure. I am back bodybuilding again myself at 48 after going through a bad patch, so have been binge watching various bodybuilding TH-camrs (2 of which have unfortunately died. Rich Piana, John Meadows even Bostin Lloyd) to keep me upto date on training etc.
Your Voice Justin!! 😍
Some great gym advice here from Justin 🤣
If I may, the 15 minutes you put in were good but when we look at the characters we clearly see the holy trinity of the Father (figure) the son (a week nerd) and at the end The Swolly Ghost of the mentor. Keep doing the videos though, you're getting better
The Swolly Ghost! Haha!
Damn I felt your unplugged acoustic version of get swole, hit me like Eddie Vedder singing "onasealin onaboyce aleddasid..."
RIP Mr Piana 😢
Very funny, loved the breaking down of Get Swol. Great videos, thanks for the humour Justin 😁👍
Justin - thanks so much for doing this channel, I've been catching up on the back log. Any plans for a Permission to Land 20 year anniversary tour?
I would not have been able to be nice watching this video! You have quite the heart of gold. BTW…..”swole” is “bro-speak” for jacked up muscles. (Nothing to do with the manhood). This guy can likely thank his “swoleness” to steroid use……just a guess…..but I’m probably right. See?……I’m already not nice.
Sounds like a new hit single for the Darkness: Return to the dojo (prodigal protege)
"I got swoll in your honor"......you are a legend Justin
I would love to see you take a look at some of Nothing But Thieves' stuff! Keep up the amazing videos
In the only way possible, Justin deconstructs an epic rock song of wayward redemption, resilience, and regret, subjecting himself to the visual acuity of the all-American, testosterone and steroids laced archetype of the patriarchal saviour of women and children, all the while keeping a straight face. Well done. That passing chord was nice, too!
😂😂😂 that was hilarious! 💪🏻💪🏻 Thank you
I just finished bench pressing and sat down to this. Brilliant. I’m only a bit swoll, but then I don’t do the juice and I’m too old.
Best one yet ~ flipping priceless 🤣
Great episode.
Justin, that swole face deserves its own painting
you can look down on me anytime hahaha
Hey Justin, really digging the channel my good man. Wondering if you would be down for an all-star rendition of “Get Swole” dedicated to the memory of the late, great “Coach” and with all proceeds going to support the local neighbourhood fridge throwing team?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one, you win lol
this sounds like a 1990s WWF wrestling theme
100% better than Kid Rock
