Maktub - Just Like Murder

[Sonic1292IsARetard]

Maktub is amazing just like their name. Maktub is destiny in some middle eastern language.

[soultheinterrogator]

I heard "F- Sh- Stack" recently and I couldn't believe that was the same person. Brilliant! 

[sundevilkid77]

my uncle is the bass player for maktub kevin

[TheZonist]

To get them a little more internet publicity, I'm trying to round up people to like their Facebook page, help 'em out a little. I did so already along with (hopefully) many to come.

[mybutterpecanbutt]

They did some songs with Slash last year not sure why or what became of them. Reggie doing comedy and parodies is fine, but I hope he doesn't lose track of his music. It would be a crying shame.

[xPsychoxClownx]

@mybutterpecanbutt lose track of his music? have you SEEN any of his comedy?? all it is is music.

[mybutterpecanbutt]

@xPsychoxClownx It's musical comedy and there is a big difference obviously.

[xPsychoxClownx]

@mybutterpecanbutt no there isn't. music is music. period.

[xPsychoxClownx]

@mybutterpecanbutt but i do get your point

[RollTide2009champs]

it's really hard to take Reggie seriously... he's the funniest guy alive and i feel like laughing everytime I see him on anything

[cactusfarm]

Digging the hell out of this song. Reggie is the man, truly a talent

[Ineedtomakeanamethat]

If anyone has this album can you upload some of their songs? I remember my friend found the album online. Showed me the song Motherfucker and a couple. I really don't want to miss out on this majesty.

[barryismygod]

i love this song it reminds me of a band that came out in '96 called super 8 fronted by "Bronx Style" Bob Khaleel

[Maxables]

REGGIE WATTS!!!!

I know the band is awesome by itself, but he's just so awesome

[redfishradical]

Far and away my favorite new band in ages. Soulful lyrics & vocals, incredible swelling keys, nice guitar lics and some of the best hooks going today! Amazing someone like these guys can stay under the radar while recycled gimicks and dance pop divas like lady gagme have the full support of MTV & their corporate dictated cool!

Rock on man, thanks for sharing. Peace!

[berzyy]

REGGIE I FOUND YA !! XD

[coolioto]

Actually not really just same chord prog

[coolioto]

sounds like space hog

[groflow]

The album Khronos (which this song is from) is absolutely fantastic! Go and buy it if you like this song. There are better tracks on the album.

[COASTERSSKIM]

Anyone that likes this group would most likely enjoy the group TV on the Radio which is similar to Maktub or the band Lee Fields and the Expressions. Lee Fields has a similar pronounce voice and incredible band backing him up. Lee Fields music is a little more soul-ish though.

[mybutterpecanbutt]

maktub are truly indie artitsts. by looking for free torrents, you are really harming the artists not some faceless company. They're cd's aren't that expensive and they are currently available on iTunes and Amazon. This song is off of Khronos.

They released they're current cd, FIVE, last July as a thank you to we fans for free. If you don't want to pay for their music, go to their site and look for FIVE.

[Sonic1292IsARetard]

@mybutterpecanbutt fuck sopa

[druiz956]

Where did you find this music video? And are there other videos for other songs?

[80sjon]

WOW!!! Found my new favorite musicians!!

[Scofopolis]

anyone have a torrent of this album?

[tubagee]

i first heard of them when i was in seattle in 2003 and they were the rage . there was a big article written on them in this seattle music paper . Seattle a cool place to have a good time .

[dombower]

this group is great heard them years ago and not heard them for a while thank god for youtube!

[DaveTheSamurai]

I saw them perform in San Francisco nightclub Tongue n' Groove back in 2002 I shook hands with Reggie too cool guy.

[jdkemp4]

for a second there i was like "wow, they got lenny kravitz to play guitar for them" but then saw another shot of him.

[wegotmarriedinafever]

reggie watts has the best voice ever.

[jiminy82]

@wegotmarriedinafever yeah, it's between him and Brandi Carlile for best voice in Seattle for sure.

[DigitalLazarus]

STILL awesome!

[JonJon405]

wow.....nuff said

[theonlybyrone]

I hate to burst your bubble, but Maktub is not only still together, but they are working on a new album. Go to their site and sign up to their mailing list.

[drchucks]

It comes out on June 23 on itunes and Amazon, or you can download it for free from thier website.

[gsotoaz]

agreed! I saw them perform in Tucson years ago and they were rad

[FinallyFeelFree]

1:51 SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rhythmali]

I know maktub personally, theyre a cool group. I first met them at a festival called "Womad".. im sad that it doesnt exist anymore... but back to the point, they're sound is pretty diverse (which is good), man, i miss those days

[isgoanrain]

WTF? Reggie is in a band? I only know his improv shit. This is amazing!

[SolidKennedy]

Reggie is with serj tankian and jack black the most talented singer. in my oppinion:

1. serj tankian

2. reggie watts

3. jack black

[isgoanrain]

You have to add Gnarls Barkley to that list bro...

[Wanderlust67]

I can't for the life of me understand why this band has flown under the radar for so long. I first saw them in Seattle in 2003, and have caught them in SF 3 times since (including at the Tongue & Groove show, diveflix!)

[bigslick45]

Yep was a GOOD ALBUM

[kewpiesbadhairday]

regardless of Reggie and the bands abilities,

I've listened to this song several times unbiasedley and find it so real that my eyes water each time I listen.

[mikeinporto]

Maktub nice suprise ... ;)

[junkano]

finally i get to hear what maktub sound like, cus im making a website as excersise about/for them

remove spaces

[Dooality]

There aren't many singers like this anymore. Reggie can do ANYTHING.

[diveflix]

that's a good band! Love reggie's voice and the band is tight. My first night out in San Francisco they rocked at the Tongue & Groove. Good times! Keep on fighting the good fight, Maktub. The girl is eye-candy, BTW ;-)

[ReaperX3ro]

I would love to have this album. The band is excellent.

[gjazz22]

Thaddues plays every thurs at the seamonster no cover

with joe doria and mike stone

[jammaster1011]

what  hapined to maktub???

[hussainbs]

they have a new album out in the next month or so

[gabseschevere]

but I thought Reggie left to be a comedian

[zapwatt]

Yeah and it makes me sad too. He did a solo record a few years ago that was very commercial R&B. It was kinda deliberate in trying to nab a hit but it was really really good. Went totally unnoticed. Maybe he figures Jamie Foxx was ignored as a musician but made it in comedy so....

[Chandriko]

he's making candles.....

[quaecky]

@jammaster1011 last album released in 2009... Reggie is now a comedian more than anything

[helleaven1]

LOVE THIS SONG/VIDEO long time!

[rawBDGLX]

Good Song. Weird Video. Reggie is the man. Maktub is nice.

[tuftsultimate9]

love this song... miss the band.
