Less than Jake - Gainesville Rock City

[MikeyT904]

Streetlight Manifesto is better.



[Beanieboy182]

i love this song :D its on my iPhone woot

[halooo182]

Lol at the guy saying he will try and get less than jake famous ... Their shows are always packed, they're one of the top ska punk bands around ... Think you're a bit late on the bandwagon haha :')

[dylandgaf17]

its my goal in life to make less than jake famous or die trying [=

[TheSpaceBar90]

@dylandgaf17 I appreciate your sentiment, man. But really, if you don't think Less Than Jake are famous, you're looking in the wrong place. You wanna see them on TV daily? That just isn't their thing, man.

[qbanbpc]

Ska has evolved for decades as has every genre. Skatalites, Specials and other bands of the time fall under Wave 3 Ska. In the 90's we saw, what Streetlight Manifesto has called atleast, 4th Wave. It still has strong Jazz, Raggae, and 2 tone influences but with the added kick of punk. Some draw from one branch more than others. like Buck o Nine and even alot of Rancid have strong Raggae and 2 tone with a splash of punk, LTJ just draws more from the Punk influence.

[jamesfromwagstaffe]

whats with the missing audio at the start?

[equaltemper]

I like this song BUT Less than Jake are NOT a perfect example of SKA. They are a ska-punk band, which is a completely different from the original genre. For an example of real ska listen to Prince Buster or the Skatalites.

[jesusofmaiden]

@equaltemper The Specials too :D

[bassassin1837]

@jesusofmaiden i was about to say the specials lololol

[killbot138]

why is the beginning cut?

[flandmines1]

The old Hyde & Zeke is in this video. That record store was one of my favorite parts of working at The Alligator cause it was a great way to waste time when I didn't feel like actually working.

[brumster01]

Wow i listened to less than jake all time in my teenage days,where are these guys now? just out of curiosity?.

[SMfan199]

@brumster01 Still together, touring and making records.

[aFalconSandwich]

@thecubanjesus No.

[TheGBHMatt]

They're one of the very few bands that actually try to sound more original than the others

[hipnotikbabe]

You can hardly win handsome men to that face in 1:10 plus this song is incredible.

[TangPolice]

What the fuck does that mean?

[pastemeister]

What album is this from i cant remember

[checkerdshoes21]

Borders & Boundries

[jcpougy]

fat wreck chords

[JennVOGUE]

He said ALBUM.

Not the record company.

[StDelyn]

So? It's always nice to know, right. Maybe the knowledge will come in handy one day... like in a kickass game of punk trivial pursuit!

[JennVOGUE]

I guess so, yeah.

That's a good idea...

I wont steal it though, haha.

I promise.

[thehurricanegh]

what's that for a bass guitar???

[ShuguProductions]

Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray!

[Zelos2210]

Roger plays a Sterling not a Stingray :P

Not too much difference in looks, other than there not being a metal plate around the EQ on the Stingray model.

[ShuguProductions]

oh my bad

[Zelos2210]

no worries man, its an easy mistake to make.

Still, they are both awesome sounding basses :)

[ShuguProductions]

yah, true that

[jimmyaka]

and another weeks paycheck lol

[dantesblackrose13]

Saw them yesterday night.

Best live band i've EVER seen. They make you feel like you're in the show, like, they make everyone feel like it's a once in a lifetime thing, to just hang out with family (the other fans) and them. Amazing feeling.

[sacx2]

freaking g-ville i love that places!!!!!!

[Gothking88]

[Insanatey]

[jomijo69]

[AcousticLad]

:)

[pickle5567]

i remember the first song i ever heard by this band was something like

suburban myth or somethin

[TheFoobers]

Less Than Jake is a Perfect Example of Ska

[aftk13]

ya the best ska band ever

[KyleBrock13]

i dont about that...

[aftk13]

well maybe the flatliners but theyre second best

[Crazymike00]

sorry, their good, but their not the specials.

[RabbitFodder123]

no their not, there Less Than Jake

**gives gold star**

I think people need to realize a band with 30/40 years between them in a new wave of a genre, can't be that easily compared.

[l3wizzz]

@TheFoobers This is not a ska song... it's just punk with horns

[00639productions]

@l3wizzz It's ska-punk

[uoza92]

@l3wizzz thats why some people call it ska punk or 2 tone

[ihatethisplace1]

@TheFoobers Less Than Jake isnt ska.... there ska punk...

[ChristopherDone]

@ihatethisplace1 Thanks for the tip. That's really important, I'm sure.

[ihatethisplace1]

@ChristopherDone actually.. its a big difference. ska is from the 40s in Jamaica. ska punk is like LTJ. or most modern "ska" bands

[ReptileNexus]

@TheFoobers

While I will admit they are a good band, they're not as good of an example as Reel Big Fish.

[minimanomus]

@TheFoobers erm... no it is not :D the perfect example of SKA are the Toasters, or madness... this is pop-ska (as we call it) but it's still cool and fun :) just saying

[denmarkkingV2]

@minimanomus pop ska is no genre man.

[equaltemper]

@minimanomus Madness are two-tone ska, which is again a lot different to the original genre.

[OnlyOneTyping]

@TheFoobers they say themselves they are not a ska band.

[testerica96]

@TheFoobers it's not.

[BodaciousWickerman]

Love da dreads!!! Awesome song!!!

[lottiemcr]

i love this video! prob my fave song next to the science of selling yourself short

[Mase666]

[cozmo]

its nice to party a little and get the heck out. thats about it.

[Mase666]

All my favourite bands are there, and my favourite record label. Theres a pretty huge punk scene there i understand so i would probably feel at home compared to where i live now.
