Phoenix- 1901 (Acoustic)

[gurupimp2004]

yeah same here about the chords. i don't really know what those are, i've been looking at them forever.

[Seriousbaker]

je taime phoenix

[Pinhalokevin]

i knw the chords to this song. but does anybody knw how to do it like this guy? im stuck o.o

[HarvestMoonMe]

@Pinhalokevin

could you tell me the chords please?? ive been tryin to figure them out for while

[soopa96]

@HarvestMoonMe Yeah same....

[slashxxyoung]

to be completely honest if i saw him walking down the street, i wouldn't expect him to sound like that



[carechichi1209]

Oh shit!!!! Messi is singin!!!!!!!! LOL



[MrCampollo]

@carechichi1209 LOL!!

[ksenotastic]

ohhh it´s too good

[pablobmx4]

<3

[xitsvincent]

if the singer got tanner and super buff he would definitely look like rafael nadal

[mayaaisabel]

is there a love button? oh im so glad i got to see them live in buenos aires!

[richdatdude2]

used to jam this while playing APB!!!!

[JFEsparrow]

He sings so well, but makes it look effortless. . . talented guy :D

[pilosopotato]

imma play this while reorganizing my closet. FOLD IT FOLD IT FOLD IT! YEAH!

i'll do it all summer long... FOLD IT FOLD IT FOLD IT!

jk. i play this all the time no matter what i do you silly people

[JohnyMiky]

i thought it was the problem of the producers that made that horrible effect in the lead voice...but they do still in this "accoustic" version...sorry phoenix, this was your last chance to make me change my mind...you have great songs with AWFUL VOCALS!!!

[getoveritxx]

@JohnyMiky What on earth are you talking about?

I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but... holy god, I love Phoenix.

[TheLionessofGod]

@JohnyMiky What do you mean the doubled voice effect? I think it's purteh neat.

[JohnyMiky]

@TheLionessofGod listen carefully you'll find parts when his voice has an effect that doubles it cause he cant sing high notes without forcing his vocal cords, with the risk of missing a high note....In studio is worse!

[TheLionessofGod]

@JohnyMiky I thought it was doubled all the way through...? I believe they said in an interview that they don't use autotune, and it doubles throughout the song just for effect, though I could be wrong on that note. Though I've seen other live performances where Thomas can hit the notes. (There are a couple where he couldn't but he was sick or you could tell his voice was super strained/tired.) No matter though. :)

[yowatup25]

took these guys years to find the right sound, nice to see them finally show some of that talent

[TheDaniloks19]

these guys are sick. and they played with daft punk. whatcha got on that beetles. lol there like beetles resurrection.

[auntjemima18]

@TheDaniloks19 beAtles, retard

[TheDaniloks19]

@auntjemima18 my deepest apology. i do feel awful for spelling it wrong mate.

[idalovesmusic]

is it folded or falling?

[JohnKimYay]

@idalovesmusic fold it

[VAMbffl09]

[mzmary71]

[starrydayy]

[TheLionessofGod]

anyone here that synth at 1:12 and later on too?? It's the same one they use on Girlfriend O:

[mrtictac94]

Do they have a drummer?

[coloradofleamarket]

@mrtictac94 yeah but hes never with the band unless its like a full band concert. so im assuiming theres some band tention. and yes i mean he might be a doosh

[Ballfuzz]

Do they have any other good songs?

[mrtictac94]

@Ballfuzz Lizstomania :')

[MindstormRecs]

@Ballfuzz There album It's Never Been Like That is one of the best albums I've ever heard from any genre. Defnitely worth checking out asap

[V2three]

Not to be a hater... but is that guitarist retarded?

[leafnation4]

@V2three i think he has a cleft lip... i think he's definitely not retarded considering he makes music this spectacular

[throrobo1]

@leafnation4 they played at Cornell the other day and i got to meet the guitarist. He's an awesome guy with no cleft lip. I guess that's just his playing face :D

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

do you know what's making the beat in this performance? and iPHONE drum app! i love technology :) :) :)

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

i think it's cheesy when live camera angles change in-time with songs.

[CaseTake1]

beautiful

[UKISOCIETY]

Luv those acoustic drums.

[georgieporgiecomic]

Right on Radioheadz91!

Good eye!

"Give me the eye!" -Clash of the Titans

[PopcornCreature]

Thomas Mars is so shy and adorable hahaha

[jenettexD]

@PopcornCreature yeah ik! It's cute:3

[TheLoulette9999]

@PopcornCreature Yes. he look like a little boy...

[hathatsme]

The singer's eyes are so beautiful.

[hilikus00]

@hathatsme

i thought the same thing. fox!

[streuselkuchenpferd]

they are so sweet. the singer looks so shy!

[satanhatesyou]

sta muy genial jiji

[Urklette]

I like this version better than the album version

[illinformed1]

if i cud get thomas mars and ben gibbard to get together i would be in paradise

[tastic88]

@illinformed1 i think that is the best idea i have ever heard in my life. 

[zOMGitsanoctopus]

is the rythm guitarist playing a gibson blues king???

[SuperiorSwagon1]

I strongly fucking believe the guitarists in this band have the best facial expressions anyone could have during a performance.....just look at these! pause at 1:01 now :57 . I know the one on the right doesn't have any great ones in this but check out their other gigs and you will SEE! (this is not a publicity stunt)

[crazyclownn]

i love the fact that his voice sounds the same when hes "live" and in the pro track recording studio shit so u know they are great live good to know

[amorsm34]

phoenix, airborne toxic event, and blink 182 literally are the only bands that sound the exact same recorded as they do live.....not PASSION PIT...YEAH PASSION PIT YOU DON'T SOUND THE SAME AND YOU KNOW IT....!!!!!

[MaxClarkso]

@amorsm34 Maybe Blink sounds the same now. But their mid 90's live performances sounded freaking horrible. Tom's voice cracked like hell.

[TheTdc2]

Phoenix forever. <3

[dubbsoul]

@radioheadz91 you're awesome. AHAHAHAH that made my day. TY TY

[zmatsko]

To all the people who say they don't need the drum machine... Yeah they do!! Like duh as soon as u add drums to any song it sounds that much better even someone just banging on a desk while I play guitar makes it cooler ha plus this is an acoustic cover of a very TECHNO song. Without the beat it would be lacking a bit

[08riddlec]

i wonder what ahppened to his wrist : /

[YellowPompleMousse]

@radioheadz91 hahahahaha at the guitarist. i would never have notice that!

[zomgthesoftness]

Phoenix needs to make an acoustic version of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix now.

[aquariumdrinker81]

i love phoenix!!! they re so good!!!! probly my favorite band!

[REVERlES]

@AikeaRococo

Actually, you can hear a bit of autotuning... But I think it was to make his voice sound more "electric " , because he didn't use it for One Time Too Many.

[SuperSoxRule]

AHHH CURSE THE DRUM MACHIINE

[KorgEggs05]

@AikeaRococo no for sure, i agree he has a great voice and all but you can really tell that a bit of auto tuning or something is used when they play live sometimes, not all the time just every now and then i think, listen to the first few lines of lizstomania in this session and you can hear it. btw i am obsessed with phoenix so i'm in no way trying to bash them! wicked stuff

[AdmiralPwnflake]

@sodatec  yes please...

[bloc22]

@AdmiralPwnflake please please

[sodatec]

Anyone figure out the alternate tuning for their guitars? The richness of those chords can't be duplicated by transposition. So far the Tab producers seem to be missing by a mile. What a great song! Great timing and inflection by Mr. Mars.

[radianexplorwalker]

I love these (Acoustic) versions

[warsaw117]

beutiful .thats all.fucking beautiful

[Hogslip]

pure evidence he is infact saying "fold it" not fallin

[phratboy8]

lol i always thought he said " I fall dead, fall dead, fall dead, fall dead!"

[alextastic]

haha, yes.

[flyordien3rd]

na dude i still heard fallin

[TwiztedWhiskerz]

He's one of few artists who sounds exactly the same live as on the recorded versions. Talented guys :)

[whokilledflea]

...theres more than one...

[KorgEggs05]

he does sound good, i love phoenix!!.. but honeslty i think hes using something on his voice...you can really tell at the beginning of lisztomania in these sessions

[kourganboy]

@TwiztedWhiskerz that's not the same but they really know to arrange the songs !

[moniquemisc]

@TwiztedWhiske

[Heavensneverenough]

@TwiztedWhiskerz you are counting Anthony Folowill (KoL singer) right?

[anabeljamwhse]

Addicting!!!!

[ahinxchan]

Obvious, the acoustic version is much butter than the original one ;)

[campbellssoup41]

their acoustic versions of their songs are abso-fucking-lutely amazing. i desperately want to download them

[ninjasquad30]

I think the acoustic  version is better

[franjulientikaa]

yeah GENIAL!!!

[radioheadz91]

1:00 the guitarist is thinking...hey i just realized i'm in phoenix! motherfuckin phoenix! SWEET!

[KorgEggs05]

hahahah, awesome

[magictruitt]
