Kula Shaker - Grateful When You're Dead

[slowmonkey156]

Fuck Oasis. Kula Shaker was the best band of the 90's. End of discussion.

[vineski1]

They didn't play the whole song... BOO HISS!!!

[cookmoore]

I love it!

[geeoogle]

Can anybody please tell me if there are or were any INDIAN music bands/persons who have produced similar kinds of rhythm, tunes like the songs by Kula Shaker in their album "K". It doesnt have to be in English

[keiwa11]

I like the drums in the song ..lovely Kula Shaker

[rickenbackerplayer]

I'm tellin ye man Jerry was there!

[Rockaliser]

1. I think that bands back in the 90's i.e. Ben Folds Five, Matchbox 20, Travis, Blur and Pulp were a hell of a lot better than the "Indie" bands around since 1999 to 2010. The lyrics have more depth the instrumentation show's more technical abillity and the songs have better grooves.

2. and I might be slated for this but...Oasis best albumn 30 years? they were ok but never ever the best, and certainly never made the best album since the 80's!!

[Tcoldsteel]

i remember walking back to the car after seeing Oasis at knebworth (can't remember what year but excellent firework show) and this was playing on the PA. I was buzzing off my tits...

long queue out of the car park though.

Empty times.

[fiddlehead75]

did't these guys do a seance to talk to jerry garcia and thats what the song is about?it's a killer tune either way.........kula then and still

[bumblebop]

i was just scrolling through the comments and caught a few words and why the BLOODY hell is mcfly and busted in here? it's insulting. never can kula shaker and mcfly/busted jive in one sentence.

[en693400]

Man you're totally right!!! no discussion... Respect =D

and we hope the new album will be out soon!!!!

[steveinthesky]

who gives a fuck about the eastern philosophy ...... its music... listen enjoy stop bitching like women !!!!!!

[georgehenryhole]

just lisen to the music men

[gordongate]

crispin crispian whatever, still a bunch of public school toffs dipping there toes into eastern philosphy as was fashionable at the time for the middle class twats and upwards.

[Emmamoo]

Keane are another lot of public school toffs - yet we seem to like their stuff. I like Kula Shaker and Keane - I coudln't give a shit what their backgrounds are. They make good music.

[gordongate]

the year that kula shaker played glastonbury was the worst ever for middle class kids trying to out hippy each other, it was nothing more than a fashion statement. how honest is your music if your more concerned about what you look like and what you should be saying to appear all windswept and interesting.

as for keane. theyre formulaic and just a fashionable at the moment milk cow for sony emi

[Emmamoo]

Spoken like a true cynic.

[gordongate]

maybe i am, but its a consequence of realism.

i'd rather be a cynic and see our society for the hateful, greedy, superficial, miserable, slavish existance it is than live in a fluffy dreamworld of marketing and advertising

and the lies we tell our self to deny that which stares us in the face.

[PlasticExplosive123]

Right... but it sounds good. Which can hardly be said for the public school toffs the the decade. Fucking Busted, and don't get me started and cunting Mcfly.

[gordongate]

i dont doubt that its toe tapping, pleasant and most importantly non threatening,

as for busted and Mcfly, i hear you bro.

nothing a good road traffic accident wouldnt cure.

[PlasticExplosive123]

Ohh no you jinxed it... now it's going to happen, how terrible.... (This is sarcasm)

[1FineYoungCannibal]

Charting with a song(Govinda) sung entirely in Sanskrit is a bit more than 'dipping their toes' Name another white British band of the time that had any trace of eastern philosophy.

[gordongate]

for goodness sake, its not like sanskrit is unheard of or the bhaghavad gita or the vedas

Of course its fashion dalliance, it happens periodically in music.

the beatles for example, they flirted with eastern philosophy for a while. I've lived on sites with travellers in the 90's doing the same thing. pretending to be weird and "enlightened". The without fail the worst culprits were middle class kids just out of university myself included.

being vegetarian to impress other vegetarians FFS

[writeonyourhand]

better to not cause things to be killed than to kill them to be independent

[omnisofos]

Jerry was there !

[Emmamoo]

I'm tellin ya man, Jerry was there, you could see him in his underwear ;-)

[SuperAllyPurvey]

Crispin Mills...lol I thought my name was gay. Love this tune tho. Dont give me any fuckin shitty e-mails people cause the love is there. Crispin........ It's like nigel or Gaylord

[marcusio2]

it's not Crispin as you said. it's Crispian

[MegaDopeTV]

This song effing rocks, Kula Shaker forever.

[wharfrat3000]

garbage at its worst. wow

[satothequeen]

Thanks for sharing,Centurian73!

[alexiscallan]

Ahh this takes me back :-) good times

[MadelainLoveComics]

like it :)

[arnoldvld]

kick ass song... period!

[xXSpartan150Xx]

The Riff to Kula Shaker's song Grateful When you're Dead from the album K (album) is seen as a bit of a rip off of Purple Haze.

[soulmojo7]

Now that you say it...

[sooperkula]

Yeah, but Don't Look Back In Anger is a rip off of Let It Be an Imagine. Just goes to show some really great stuff is copying bits of other stuff.

Still, a cool song nonetheless.

[SteezfulE]

Yeah, Jimi influence is heard real clear

[coolporsche1]

Abit of Purple Haze maybe?

[xXSpartan150Xx]

[lutfirover]

He looks like Thom Yorke in Radiohead's early days

[TabithaMcCleod]

No. Chrispian Mills was better looking that Thom Yorke...and when he [mills] has long hair he is uber hot & I love his voice.

They got treated a bit like a joke-band very quickly tho...sad but true!

[adobo143]

This vid made me sOOoOoOo wet LOL

ohai! xD msg me. id is on my profile. ai

[kristoffmcewan]

....if your love is a cheatin and if you are blinded from the pain

...your honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain.....

[tel890]

Kula shaker are fucking class, K is one of the best albums of all time, not a weak song on there

[whatshendrix]

Kula is one of the most under-appreciated bands of all time... They're so fucking great - among the best (if they did all those songs back in the woodstock days, I'm sure they'd be more famous now). They weren't born in the right era for what they're into, but they shine brighter most a lot of the classic bands, and Crispian Mills writes great riffs and lyrics too. And the band has a lot of different influences going on - they're really great.

[zangalevich]

the next song in the albom "k" is "jerry was there" (actually is a continuation of grateful when you're dead). its about jerry garcia, the leader of the grateful dead...

am i the only one who made this conection? cause no one said anything about that

[BohemianConspiracy]

is the reason why nobody talks Hungarian... they re always wrong...ahahah

[nataliapeatona]

muy bueno el video

very good

:(

[gargano3000]

fuck you cuint

[gargano3000]

god how shit

[bakaboyo]

Interesting comments by Gfunk there. I remember the reports that said he was all for neo-nazi rule etc etc...which was from a comment he made about a country working better under a dictatorship. Was a bit of a stupid comment but agree that the NME showed themselves as nothing more than hypocritical bullies in the playground. Rather than rising above it, not printing it or asking him exactly what he meant, they vilified him (so much for liberalism-just flip sides of the same coin) and goodbye KS

[dnikhilrao]

loved K and pigs , peasants too.

the orchestration on the 2nd album was so good i couldnt believe their maturity and confidence.

brilliant band. hope they re all happy and well

[dennoow]

I actually like their latest album "strangefolk" as well :) Not as much as the first 2, but it's still very good!

[lksskjhh]

an like all great bands they come from England :)

[irishcircusgirl]

why are these guys not more known?

its before my time,

i think they are wonderful from what iv seen so far

[eldirtyone]

They were pretty big in the UK about 12 years ago (I saw them live a couple of times at festivals) but although their first album (simply titled K) was absolutely amazing, the second really failed to deliver and they just dissapeared into obscurity. I still love listening to them though.

[Gfunkdeluxe]

It was partly due to an NME hatchet job - Crispin made some ill advised (but not untrue) comments re: the origin of the swastika and NME successfully convinced everyone that he was racist. I was over Kula Shaker by that point but I still thought the NME were utter cunts over the whole issue. I really think they set out to bring the band down because they were too retro and uncool.

[kizzyontay52]

Theyre still around though! I saw them live in Norfolk a few months ago! Awsome live band.

[BohemianConspiracy]

they were popular...between 95 and 2000-2001 but they split up... and most of brit pop bands(suede,cast,supergrass etc) lose their ranks...and their popularity start to decline more than 5 years ago

[JHeifetz100]

One of the greatest bands i heard lately.

I like the style... KULA SHAKER RULE!!!!!!

[LordBinary]

the intro is like in a jimi hendrix song

[antonyvt]

fucking greatest band of the modern era, man.

[EoTRrecorder]

you clearly own about 2 Cds.

[burritowendel]

que cabron¡¡ como te atreves ijo de la chingada a insultar a kula shaker,antes de q opines d kula shaker lavate el pinche hocico¡¡kula forever and for everyone¡¡again

[wharfrat3000]

[ramsay1978]

Fuck off this is great, end of.

[wharfrat3000]

yawn..

[britkid182]

I love this band...completely. This is what individuality is people!

[wharfrat3000]

sucks.

[TheMilkcat]

if ya don't like it, why bother..

[wharfrat3000]

was searching something else with the same words asshat. sorry for making fun of your cool little 'original' band. btw the lyrics are shitty this is factory music. how about something actually creative and not cliche

[TheMilkcat]

you spend a awfull lot of time visiting video´s, you know you don´t like don´t you.. hobby I presume.. ah now I see where that lame fits in.

[wharfrat3000]

hah i keep gettin emails cause of you whinny little bitches and your 'totally acid retro trippy and so totally not trendy' band. lol. all i do is click a link and im here to reply so not enough activity to call 'hobby' and im just curious what fans of these 'creative geniuses' have to say. its entertaining

[simon6444]

this song reminds me of the old 'Pearl & Dean' commercials at the cinema... "ba ba baah, ba ba baah etc;

[th25tina]

why am I just learning of this band? I've heard the name but none of the music except maybe "hush" in that movie. they are awesome...very "old" 60's sound. Love it.

[stormyweld]

Excellent! EVERYONE should own a K/S album. They're the world's best anti-depressant.

I LOVE THEM!!!<333

[sosuamaukar]

they trully are the world's best anti-depressant. Wise words stormyweld, wise words.
