I like that Daniel Radcliffe has finally embraced doing weird/funny shit and got over being super serious. This looks so ridiculous.

Pumped for this. I've seen him live and honestly, it's one of the better live shows I've been to. He's so great.

What am I missing. I never heard of his "depraved" lifestyle?
It's a joke. He's one of the nicest people on the planet.

Seen him live at least 5 times and have front row tickets for a concert in October. His shows were great when he was still on a record deal and doing costume changes 20 times per night, but his shows since then (Strings Attached and The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Ill-advised Vanity Tour) have added a breath of fresh air while still being extremely entertaining. If you've never seen him in concert and you're at all entertained by his music, it's worth checking out a show before he finally retires eventually.

I've only seen him live once, back in the early 90's, but his band was completely fucking insane. Every one of them could immediately play absolutely anything needed at a moments notice.
And yeah, as mentioned by Djay above, Weird Al is widely known as almost a saint in the industry.

He's a true nerd made good. There are precious few of those. That's it.

Hell, I enjoy some of his parodies more than the originals.

I'm looking at you "Amish Paradise" and "White and Nerdy".

when Smell's like Teen Spirit played so many fucking times on MTY i couldnt stand the song anymore. Weird Al's parody came in at the right time for hilarity. i think my favorite song by him is "Ricky". at this point its probably a symbol of success if Weird Al does one of your hit songs.
i also assume everyone here has seen UHF. its a classic movie.

At first I was like “really they are making this”?

Then I saw the trailer and realized the whole thing is a parody of Music Biopics and this is fucking brilliant

The whole this is a made up story
