[Nello7]

"I have seen the future of rock and roll and his name is..." Brian Fallon.

[PunkMakarek]

Поклон из России!!! Спасибо, брат!!!

[MrGeekyJo]

One of THE best singer songwriters I've ever heard. This is nothing short of beautiful.

[pachuca326]

"You Made Me Cry" - holy shit is that powerful

[iano861]

best performance ever

[EastCoast515]

nearly 2 years ago, by chance, I clicked on this video. My life changed forever that day. long live gaslight anthem x

[443556jack]

1:34 - 1.40 ... now, THATS a voice.

[DeathEndingTruth]

Wow this is amazing!

[diRTyNeEcH]

I tried... I really tried... but I just can't get into it...

[DrunkenMasshole]

@diRTyNeEcH it's just a cool song. nothing to get into imo

[diRTyNeEcH]

@DrunkenMasshole naw man, it got better for me after listening to the lyrics.

[Jazian86]

Eargasm !

[Amblu]

1:35, Bruce Springsteen, are you here ?

[TerrorPanda88]

Akustisch habe ich nie was besseres oder geileres gehört!!!

Was ein geiler scheiss

[jucalvin]

Awesome ! This guy really have the Guts !

[asilentdemise2]

agree with otheguilt....what a man, what a voice...seen them live....woow :)

[Ohtheguilt90]

Tomorrow I'm buying "Elsie" because of these performances, because TGA give me so much emotions and because THIS IS MUSIC.

[The1jenkinz]

quality fair play

[vtgroup]

Every single The Gaslight Anthem song and Horrible Crowes song is awesome with the band, and equally as awesome with just Brian and his guitar. If you just know TGA, check out HC's "Elsie" too.

[ffokazak]

He's better at singing than growing beards, Thankfully.

[infinity09x]

AWESOME GUITAR

[iamthepainterband]

pure awesomeness...

the song itself plus the way hes playing it, absolutely outstanding!

[HeinOldschool]

damm i think i'm going to open another botle of wisky and smoke another pack of sigarets in the hope my voicew gets anywhere near his!

[mastuhofcheyuhleadin]

a just shed a tear, the viewings are pathetic, people obviously have no good taste in music, goodness what is this world coming to.

[hessenmob1000]

it is just beautiful

[texashookem22]

SOOOOO refreshing to hear a modern songwriter in the vein of Paul Simon and Jackson Browne, lyrics brimming with substance, not just crap that rhymes. I wish youtube had a repeat function that I didn't have to push each time! Love this

[mellojoy76]

love you guys!

[Sallysun1]

nice :)

[HatecoreBZ]

9 People have no eggs ;D

[ffokazak]

Which Gibson is that? Looks to small to be an L7...

[alonelyliver]

flawless prince

[TheZombieBlonde]

"I got your name tattooed inside of my heart"

^.^ I need a moment.

[willumdixon]

@TheZombieBlonde Is it not arm??

[TheZombieBlonde]

@willumdixon It is. My bad.

[TheMarissaDiaries]

This is absolutely stunning. My ears are having sex!

[mara0192]

@TheMarissaDiaries Eargasm!

[rfalls86]

@TheMarissaDiaries Having sex with each other or with objects on both sides of your head? I am confused at what objects your ears would be fucking. I love this song too by the way :)

[M4r7en]

Very good Song

[Guitarandbaseball7]

What kind of guitar is that? I REALLY want one, it sounds sooooo amazing.

[thereason54]

This is amazing! It's pure and honest! This guy pours his heart out in this performance.

[postaldude82]

How can people can vote this bad? I hate this world wich is full of Britney Bitches, Justin Gaylords and GAGA bitches. Why cant our time cant realize real talent like that?

[leeboysouth]

Watching this on Sept 10th 2011 and for some reason it makes complete sense.

[wodemingzijiaonisha]

God his voice is so fit!

[syyyyyke]

as of right now there are 8 people with good taste in music

[BrandonFite182]

@syyyyykeI know you "love to argue" but I'm not really up for all that. I am however interested to find out why you dislike this so much? Not interested in your reasoning of why you love to get a rise out of ppl, but simply curious about your dislike of this song.

[syyyyyke]

@BrandonFite182 Probably something to do with mediocre singing and basic chord progressions

[TheMswizzy]

@syyyyyke virtually every song ever has a "basic chord progression" from bach to beethoven to tchaikovsky to copland to joplin to elvis to the beatles to everything after..

then as to mediocre singing that's an opinion that you are pretty alone in

[syyyyyke]

@TheMswizzy Your ignorance in music baffles me

[syyyyyke]

@TheMswizzy your ignorance in music baffles me.....

[syyyyyke]

fail

[2fej]

very nice.

[robsenq]

this is the fucking best acoustic song that i ever listen

[VeganKore]

Seven people had their father dead while calling.

[cmac3107]

this is great



[gmeltzer]

I wonder what kind of guitar this is? Sounds wonderful like the tune and performance. Awesome emotion.

[DrkMths]

anyone else thinks he resembles bob dylan? 

[Koolaids93]

That gtar is boner inducing

[ctr36096]

It's people like Brian Fallon that make me wanna do something useful and helpful in my life .

[sebbster2000]

i hate it when people don't respect other people's opinions, but seriously; how the fuck could you dislike that?

[MaybeTheOcean]

@whoisprisoner67...

i think it s a gibson from the historic series... i cant tell you the model, but just check the gibson homepage!

[whoisprisoner67]

Anyone know what guitar he's playing in this vid?

[Skachild15]

@whoisprisoner67 It looks like a Godin 5th Avenue Archtop to me hope this helps!

[andrewniwdog]

i've been big into gaslight since the 59 sound, they're a huge part of my life now. I went back to senor and the queen ,sink or swim etc.. and its really cool seeing the band progress. and brian in particular, its almost as if he found his voice. from honest punk roots to this big rock n' roll voice he has now. Big respect

[JohnnyGuitarWatson4]

Incredible.

[iamspecial14]

What an amazing voice!!

[Zerb012345]

he has an amazing voice...u cannot dissagree...

[jaynadasilva]

i love this...never listened twice to his band on the radio. He should ditch it and go acoustic. He's awesome...

[Filbunkish]

I hope everyone is excited for his side-projekt The Horrible Crowes. The debut album "Elsie" is due out September 6!

"Behold the Hurricane" was great.

[BelleOceans]

@Filbunkish

Thank you. Just checked it out. Glorious.

[Filbunkish]

@BelleOceans You're welcome. No Gaslight Anthem fan should have to miss it :)

[frrrrk]

[chowmainpiano182]

Does anyone know what guitar he's using please

[franneck1989]

[dottie94]

[TheNyuszipok]

[exception96]

[InternalSalvation]

I love you Brian!

[xxemililyxx]

[ohsnap1981]

[phaseaffectionmusic]

If you like Brian Fallon, listen to Viktor Olsson - When we were young here on youtube!

[EmmaCoutureBeauty]

[DodGe111594]

He seriously looks like he's about to burst into tears through the whole song

[omfern]

Touches my heart every time I listen to it.

[leachim6]

[kamikazedreamer1]

Fallon is the man. Such a chilling version.

[barberina91]

[nw1994ful]

[radmano77]

Springsteen-ish



[mikeponcephotography]

he smashes the shit out of this!

[76scarfoot]

epic guitar!!



[LTHaize]

I just nutted

[katieleighhughes]

this is one of my favourite covers of their songs he does, amazing.

[1foofighter606]

@katieleighhughes I don't consider it a cover.. cuz he wrote it

[katieleighhughes]

@1foofighter606 well yeah, I said covers of their songs. acoustic perfomances if you'd rather.

[BoatlessBoozeCruise]

I just gotta say that it takes balls to get "You made me cry" tattooed on your neck.

this guy just pours out honesty and emotion.

those are some of the last honest things we can cling to in this crazy, fucked up world

[poguemahone1969]

@BoatlessBoozeCruise I always read "You are my city" :D Thanks for the enlightment!

[ConorMTM]

@poguemahone1969 he told me what it said when i met him and now i forget, its bugging me

[CutToRibbons]

@ConorMTM He's actually tattooed on both sides of his neck. Famous lyrics: "Bell Bottom Blues" / "You Made Me Cry" ;)

[heykidwantsomeglue]

Id like to see any modern hip hop "artist" do a live performance like that

[ldctierna]

i want his guitar! NOW!

[Rockstar14313]

this song speaks to my soul....brings me to tears....love him.

[mcar94]

[MurphysD187]

[Wesapaloozaful]

[spower911]

[AbandonedAllHope]

[dcdude171]

[shoottheemokid]

@AbandonedAllHope

[CutToRibbons]

@AbandonedAllHope Vintage 1943 Gibson L50 :D

[vonpirosproductions]

[hessenmob1000]

this guy is rock´n roll,deep inside.he is real star, his voice, his look- wow

[CalamityCain]

I've yet to decide whether his guitar or his voice is more beautiful. I love this performance :)

[CutToRibbons]

I really do like The Gaslight Anthem, but I love love love Brian Fallon. I could listen to his acoustic stuff all day. <3 This is my favorite version of this song.

[Crazycupmuffin]

@CutToRibbons he loves The Boss i hope he follows in his footsteps and releases some acoustic solo albums soon.

[ryboyin]

@Crazycupmuffin check out his side project The Horrible Crowes, they just released an album titled 'Elsie' that is almost all acoustic stuff Fallon put together.

[Crazycupmuffin]

@ryboyin i got that its brilliant but still want a pure acoustic type album thing.

[ScouserAtHeart]

I love the 50's hairstyle...Brian Fallon is one of my favourite artists along with Dallas Green and Tom Gabel...their music carrys me on threw tough times, you touch my heart and soul, thank you

[AlbinoWaterBuffalo]

@ScouserAtHeart Hey, your now my favorite person. Because those 3 people are fucking awesome

[ScouserAtHeart]

@AlbinoWaterBuffalo ...and now your my best pal cause I'm your favourite person:D

[AlbinoWaterBuffalo]

@ScouserAtHeart Excellent! :p haha

[DrewBludd]

I'm faily certain this is the guy who took my apartment after me and painted it seafoam green right after I painted it black and red.

[NeverGoBackHome]

this guy is a total tool. The band is awesome. but this guy just screams arrogant.

[dcdude171]

i love that he just stares after the song is over , like taking it what he wrote

[hyperesh]

All the people who wrote "I got your name tattooed inside of" with something dirty at the end are really missing the beauty in Brian Fallon's song writing skills.

[raq757uplayer]

I got my name tattooed inside of ur mom ;)

[brunosalonen]

5 people missed the like button. surely they have down syndrome.

[buttflunky2100]

I need to go whip 5 asses...

[MrsYellowDino]

Just....Brilliant!!



[siriuslyawesome1]

Just gotta say, watching him do acoustic versions never gets old. The emotions in his voice and on his face kill me. Brian Fallon owns a piece of my heart. <3

[dcdude171]

[xxwantedxx]

[BeaverDingx]

Oh, this symbolizes the summer '10.

[vonpirosproductions]

[Qsk8enjoi]

does anyone know what his neck tattoo says?

[cutfromthemold]

@Qsk8enjoi "You made me cry", I got a good look at it when I met them.

[Qsk8enjoi]

@cutfromthemold ahhh you are so lucky. i have yet to see them live

[mustang9985]

Don't compare Bruce Springsteen & E-Street Band with The Gaslight Anthem just because they are both from NJ. Bruce is up there with the GREATEST of ALL-TIME musicians bar none. Have some REPSECT for Bruce and The E-Street Band. I love Gaslight but they have a LONG way to go to reach Bruce & thats stating fact, Bruce Springsteen is Yoda to Brian Fallon period the end & thats ok. Bruce is the BEST teacher you could ever have. Lets hear it for the Bruce & e-Street!! Lets hear it for Gaslight!

[EatMyPwn]

@mustang9985

Let's hear it for piss awful English!

[mustang9985]

@EatMyPwn WTF? Sorry little boy but Bruce PISSES on Gaslight. Grow up. Gaslight is a great new band but no E-Street. It's like comparing Michael JORDAN to Lebron James... NOT EVEN CLOSE SUCKER.

[EatMyPwn]

@mustang9985

Where did I disagree with you? Or agree with you, for that matter?

The only thing I was addressing was your terrible English.

[mustang9985]

@EatMyPwn Where in my post was "terrible english" ? Not one word is spelled wrong SLICK. They are not in complete sentences because youtube only gives you so many letters in one post & I dont have all the time in the world to make several posts nor do I have to explain myself to you. Get a LIFE NAZI GESTAPO spell check POLICE. -Yes, thats you I'm talking about SLICK.

[EatMyPwn]

@mustang9985

I rest my case.

Also, you're childish and temperamental. And that post was pretty long, so apparently you do have a lot of time.

[loyaltallie]

@mustang9985

.....dude....calm down. you're just making yourself like a bipolar child....just chill! ha

[hardshot45]

@mustang9985 alright your just being a little bitch just shut the fuck up bruce thinks they are good who cares and stop calling the kid slick you pussy.

[mustang9985]

@hardshot45 Whatever you say SLICK.

[hardshot45]

@mustang9985 alright your just being a little bitch just shut the fuck up bruce thinks they are good who cares and stop calling the kid slick you pussy.

[chrisbrown73]

Is this half step down or whole?

[smpboy]

Its scary how much their music sounds like Bruce Springsteen, gotta love these guys



[sperael]

Impressive voice...

[Nieves57]

Tunes Award Winner 2010

[stuartstuart123]

Who the hell would dislike this? It's like the car crash version of music, you can't not stop and watch.

[fingmd]

Awesome!
