By the way, Joey is part of a musical duo which writes their own original Alternative Lyric Folk music (that's the best way I can describe their style). The group is called The Amazing Devil, their songs are not dissimilar in style from those in The Witcher and I would recommend anyone who loves Jaskier's music to check them out
Yes, thank you, I was about to comment the same thing. They make amazing music, definitely worth to give them a listen (even if you don't like Folk, their songs don't necessarily stick to one genre alone)
To be fair, joey is an fantastic singer. Has a group the amazing devil, and literally everything they sing is solid gold, and all anyone ever talks about is this song.
I dunno. Artist kind of expect a lot from the masses. If you make fine art it won’t be appreciated world wide. The masses need it to be easily understandable and likable. Goes for nearly all forms of art.
My daughter was born just after season 1 came out. She was soothed by that song to the point that she wouldn't fall asleep without it playing on repeat.
I get why it does get annoying very quickly because of the simple melody, that's kind of the point. And he must have heard it sooo much honestly I'm surprised he's able to be so diplomatic
it is one of the curses all singers go through. it is even worse if you had a hit song 10+ years ago and you have to perform that singular song EVERYTIME you do a live concert because that song is the only reason why people even attent to the concert.
Just like Brendon Urie with "I write sins not tragedies" he either will say "I hate this fucking song' or he'll tweak the " the poor grooms bride is a whore" to "fucking slut" in a sassy ass tone lol. It sucks he's retiring tho.
Like when people play "I'll be there for you" to Jennifer Aniston. She just makes an annoyed face. She can't avoid. Even the questions irritates her. I saw her giving a interview about something else and they went "did u know Friends is being removed from Netflix?" and she just said "I didn't know it was there, ins first place." Like, whatever, I exist apart of Friends.
After hearing his songs from his band "The Amazing Devil" I fully understand how upset I'd be if what's essentially a scribble piece struck the top 100 charts over something like That Unwanted Animal or Farewell Wonderlust
he REALLY doesnt like that he had to keep it a secret for so long during the production phase of the show, imagine having that BOP in your head and you cant sing it in public until the show airs
@@Imgaymotherfucker show runners are writing their own made up story And are not following the GREAT n EPIC polish novels, which everyone must try if they love witcher Cuz i have read them all and it is now my favourite fantasy story EVER , and i have read a lot of books. Show really just killed the lore.
Tbh toss a coin is probably the least Joey song I've heard him sing. He also didn't have any creative input which i assume is incredibly important to him given how many credits go to him in The Amazing Devil albums XD i knew he had input in burn butcher burn the second i heard that growl of his in it
When you only sing a song you get jack shit. People composing, writing, and distributing the song make the money. The singer is mostly just an employee.
He helped write it too. Just like that banger song from season 2. He also writes the stuff for his band so it makes sense he'd participate in the process for the show.
It's such a shame too, because these are the liner notes from his band's most recent album from late 2021(The Amazing Devil is the band, and Ruin is the album) Produced by *Joey Batey*, Madeleine Hyland and Tom Addison *Joey Batey*: Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synth, Piano, Vocals, Additional Drums Madeleine Hyland: Vocals Tom Addison: Drums Michael Crean: Violin Fraser Parry: Cello Sam Becker: Double Bass Written and composed by *Joey Batey* Additional material by Madeleine Hyland Chords inspired by work by Jess Hill Orchestration by Fraser Parry and *Joey Batey*
@@idgarobingoodfellow Looking further into it, you're right. I've heard multiple versions on who did what but that seems the most consistent one. Thanks.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can understand hating something that you have to say or sing all the time.. but I love how he's like oh shit I hate it but I love that we love it and Hell Yeah I love that bards song!!!
I get it honestly as a musician if I had to sing that melody that much I’d get so annoyed, yes it’s a good song but if it’s you’re own voice you’re hearing a thousand times, it’s chaotic
I love how the song breaks all the rules i imagine bards learn in their collage... don't self insert, stick to the truth, and so on the song utterly misrepresents events in which he takes the main stage😂
Fans of the Witcher books/games agree lol The song grew on me but completely broke the immersion of the show. What was the style of singing for bards in a late medieval/early renaissance setting? Fuck if the showrunners know
musicians understand this. its so common for you to get sick of your own compositions, and people always seem to love the ones you hate the most. just how it is lol
Most diplomatic actor
I hope the creator of that song gets proper royalties, it and burn butcher burn are bangers.
Fun fact: he's also got a band. If you didn't know, I'd highly recommend their work
@@Ayyaii24what's the band name?
@@MKSwifty the amazing devil!you should give them a listen,their music really makes you feel like you're in a fantasy!
@Jedediah Galloway he's a better politican than most politicians
He seems to be such a likeable, polite and easy-going person
both of em, too bad the blood orgins show wasn't that great :/ but those two actors are very good!
I agree
Of course he is, he's a bard! ;)
He's a bard for a reason lol
But irritating as shit in the programme
This guy secretly thinking he needs a lawyer lol 😆
Nahh ye knows he can represent himself and still walk
@@dylanleeman1841 clearly in reference to the fact he has made no royalties from being in the UK charts so a lawyer needs to investigate this for him
@@Jake3eee I'm js he's one smooth talker as all
@@Jake3eee he didn't say that, you can't infer something because it wasn't said
Nah I just think he legit didn’t know cause he’s at the stage where he doesn’t have to care about these things
“Toss a coin to your Witcher, oh valley of P E N I S”
That was arguably my favorite line in the whole series lmao
Arguably?! For me it’s definitely!! 😂
He did it as a dare I think, and the cut was left in.
@@jackofpixels It was funny 😂
@@jackofpixelsand he owes the actress of yen 20p because of it
It was great lol. I was not expecting that the first time I watched it.

Thank you I was wondering about that
Yes, thank you, I was about to comment the same thing. They make amazing music, definitely worth to give them a listen (even if you don't like Folk, their songs don't necessarily stick to one genre alone)
what!! i've been listening to them for a while and never noticed
I came here to say this. They are fantastic.
Rolled straight 20 on that charisma check.
Microphone hands kicked in that media training real quick
Well he is a bard :)
I'd say it was a charisma and / or intelligence check. Charisma for selling it, intelligence for noticing the trap ^^
Pretty sure Joey rolled a nat 20 on charisma at birth.
To be fair, joey is an fantastic singer. Has a group the amazing devil, and literally everything they sing is solid gold, and all anyone ever talks about is this song.
What genre would you categorize it as? I'll have to check out amazing devil!

The Amazing Devil is great, and I learned about it because of The Witcher.
Thats a guy who just realised he might be owed a few quid
My daughter was born just after season 1 came out. She was soothed by that song to the point that she wouldn't fall asleep without it playing on repeat.
😍
That's adorable
Honestly such a respectful, humble and kind person
him: i love that PEOPLE LOVE THAT song..
me: that still means you hate/dislike the song lol
Kinda just means he's sick of hearing it but that's basically the same thing so yeah kinda 😆
E
I mean yeah and that's his prerogative. If he hated that people loved it though, now that would be absurd.
@@pharaohatem6884 èè
I mean he said right before that he didn't like it directly
I get why it does get annoying very quickly because of the simple melody, that's kind of the point. And he must have heard it sooo much honestly I'm surprised he's able to be so diplomatic

Loved the song when the show first came out, but after living above a pub for a year I get what he's feeling.
Just like Brendon Urie with "I write sins not tragedies" he either will say "I hate this fucking song' or he'll tweak the " the poor grooms bride is a whore" to "fucking slut" in a sassy ass tone lol. It sucks he's retiring tho.

dude That Unwanted Animal is my literal obsession right now fjgnds
@@izzychan971 ITS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!
Farewell wanderlust is AMAZING
It's all so good
But he said he loves that people love the song. That wouldn't be the case if you were right, right?
all of his answers are perfect pr answers. whoever did pr training with him did a perfect job
Ya know, he may hate the song but he sang it like he loved it and for that. Thank you good ser😂🙏
This kind of make sense seeing that he has his own music which is very good but (at least from what I’ve seen) not nearly as recognized
First time i heard thats song i sang it one week in a row and could not for the life of me stop. Lmfao that song is highly contagious and very catchy
thats my favorite song on the show I don't even remember hearing any other songs when i try to think back.
he REALLY doesnt like that he had to keep it a secret for so long during the production phase of the show, imagine having that BOP in your head and you cant sing it in public until the show airs
He deserves a spin-off show just for him but we all know netflix would find a way to mess it up
I. L❤VE when DAN VASC sings it!!!!
Bummer they killed the show.
Theres going to be a third season soon is what I heard?
@@Imgaymotherfuckerthey made there own sh8 and they won't follow the source material and Henry isn't there anymore.
@@Imgaymotherfucker show runners are writing their own made up story
And are not following the GREAT n EPIC polish novels, which everyone must try if they love witcher
Cuz i have read them all and it is now my favourite fantasy story EVER , and i have read a lot of books.
Show really just killed the lore.
Theres gonna be 7 seasons in total. Just season 4-7 arent gonna follow the books and Geralt is being acted by Liam Hemsworth instead of Henry Cavill
@@Dead-zp5mp ew what
That was the roundabout way of saying no😂
This songs gives heavy Jaskier energy
I mean he makes such good music with his band that toss a coin is like just another drop in the ocean
It’s bc “King” and “The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace,” are so much better
Joey is such a delight. Love this guy!!
I think the second question is why he hates the song LOL
Best PR answer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!
His work in the band The Amazing Devil deserves more recognition than twn soundtracks
Damn. I love that song, I got it stuck in my head for a week and loved every minute of it.
That's so funny 😅 and I also love that song,and had no doubts it's been in charts)
Joey is so Jaskier even when he is not on the set I love him 😭😭😭
He shouldn't hate the song he should be very proud of it
He's such a bard 🤣🤣
Toss a coin to your Joey apparently
That song still gets stuck in my head from time to time out of nowhere
Mans said, "Hylarious"
Much like Midas, he is cursed with a song that will follow him every where he goes for the rest of his life.
Considering the song has been living rent-free in his head for the last few years, I'm impressed he hasn't gone insane.
The sorrow in his eyes when that song is brought up 😂
WTF I AM OBSESSED with this song it pops in my mind every so often😂
Tbh toss a coin is probably the least Joey song I've heard him sing. He also didn't have any creative input which i assume is incredibly important to him given how many credits go to him in The Amazing Devil albums XD i knew he had input in burn butcher burn the second i heard that growl of his in it
Jack the Whipper has his version of this song too for his Renn Faire shows!
“Toss a coin to your whipper! Or maybe a twenty, let’s make it a twenty! “
Never thought I'd read a comment a out Jacqueszewhipper on re n faire shows 😂
It's still an absolute banger
CHEF!!! Ah I'm so happy to see he is still active. He's been my favorite actor since forever.
Just the allways sunny reference "cut that cut that cut that!"
Hit em with the hustle n flow
That guy is just straight up cute and polite lol
Joey is the best 😂
What a lovely way of saying "No"
I love that song so much damn😭
Very good at saying the right words, makes him look even more like Jaskier.
My gf's mom listen to it ALL the time.
The original version and the french one. Its just so good
He's one of the better parts of the show
I love that song I listen to it almost every day
I love this remix. It’s so chill.
That's a soft way of saying no 😂
He looks like if Tom Daley and Daniel Radcliffe had a child together.
As a fellow witcher player I love this man
Iffy on the show but hella grateful that it introduced me to this wonderful man and his music
When you only sing a song you get jack shit. People composing, writing, and distributing the song make the money. The singer is mostly just an employee.
Right? I used to think bands were like teams. Everyone was equal. Boy, was i way off. Writing credits are a huge deal.
He helped write it too. Just like that banger song from season 2.
He also writes the stuff for his band so it makes sense he'd participate in the process for the show.
@@Eadwulf_Skald I think the song was written before his casting, but then they brought him in to co-wrote the songs in season 2
It's such a shame too, because these are the liner notes from his band's most recent album from late 2021(The Amazing Devil is the band, and Ruin is the album)

No matter what you feel about this guy. His answer was top tier. So quick, and natural. You do not want this guy as an enemy 😂
cut that cut that cut that
Guys, listen to his band "The amazing devil" its fantastic!!!
A classy and likeable way to say you dislike something you participated in.
Take notes everyone!
It's my ring tone 🤣🤣 and my young children love singing it
Damn, Midna out here catching strays
Lenny's looking fly!
It is a catchy song, and it's a somg we all xan easily sing along to. 😊
That's ✨Highlarious ✨
If you had to hear one song over and over and sing it over and over you'd hate it too
He is Jaskier
I see a bright career for Joey beyond The Witcher series
Look up the amazing devil.
He's had a bright career since before the Witcher tv show was even an idea
He's sharp as a whip, this fella
burn butcher burn was amazing!
Thats fact
The song is amazing!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can understand hating something that you have to say or sing all the time.. but I love how he's like oh shit I hate it but I love that we love it and Hell Yeah I love that bards song!!!
Lenny Henry! Miss you and love you. Good to see you on screen again.
I thought it was him but I wasn’t sure! That boisterous laugh though!
Mans real life Dandelion
Love all the witcher songs
highlarious 😭
I get it honestly as a musician if I had to sing that melody that much I’d get so annoyed, yes it’s a good song but if it’s you’re own voice you’re hearing a thousand times, it’s chaotic
I can't not fall in love with his eyes 😍
The amazing devil. Search for it, love it. Joey is a friggin musician...
A SERIOUS BANGER
I love how the song breaks all the rules i imagine bards learn in their collage... don't self insert, stick to the truth, and so on the song utterly misrepresents events in which he takes the main stage😂
I love that song!
Dan Vasc sings it powerfully
Totally have that song in my fave list and every now and then it blasts through my sound system right behind Doja Cat.
Fans of the Witcher books/games agree lol
The song grew on me but completely broke the immersion of the show. What was the style of singing for bards in a late medieval/early renaissance setting? Fuck if the showrunners know

I love this song
He wants them to toss a coin to the bard. 😅
That’s HIGHlarious
" Toss a coin to your witcher " in hindi vocal is also a famous😂😂
Burn Butcher Burn made me like oooof
musicians understand this. its so common for you to get sick of your own compositions, and people always seem to love the ones you hate the most. just how it is lol
that "PR Answer" was basically: No, the boss takes the money and we kinda get paid.
I really love his song they are talking about
