[gerbil545]

@chezzyms WHAT?!? This is incredible live...

[chezzyms]

Love this song but They're awful live

[nydolls73]

The female backup singer adds a nice touch to the chorus.

[Ottostl]

There's a reason they're famous for their live performances...

[hotyu3456]

In Soviet Russia, World Eat Jimmy.

[hl2izawsum]

[rocketboy375]

sounds really good with the girl's backing vocals in the chorus

[gerbil545]

[ei24sen]

"You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in". XD

 "° JUST PLAIN HOT "°

TONY LEDUE LIKES BEAUSE IT'S RIGHT N NIGHT..........

[sultaa86]

Jimmy Eat World were one of the bands that influenced me to start of a band =)

[Zcarpfaize]

@sultaa86 cool story, bro

[GmonyZB]

@Zcarpfaize chill bro

[aerosmith4ever1]

Jimmy Eat World= JEW

[Phish220]

A bit screechey.... The other vids sound better

[envoy3]

I love the fact that they dress and act like normal everyday dudes. they're totally neutral and original in that sense.

[USCtrojan25]

most underrated band ever. They are amazing

[Spamsational]

saw em last night in brisbane, they have got so much better since then

[AaronF526]

I did a cover of The Middle on acoustic guitar. Check it out.

[bethelldaniel]

The thing I just love about Jimmy is that they're totally just four regular, normal, nice, even slightly nerdy guys who just happen to make excellent music. Probably why they're my favourite band. <3

[MetalManiac840]

witsch date is this?

[davesmusicmania1]

terrible band live according to this...yuck

[Gracew123]

@davesmusicmania1 In my opinion I dont think you can judge whether a band is good or bad live unless you've stood on the crowd and experienced it yourself....

[JisakuJ]

Rachel...

[lostfromanxiety]

I agree, the girl just ruined it. But still good performance, wish he would sing a little more in tune though

[bluesbro182]

god dammit. that stupid chick on the keyboard ruined it.

[jailbrake666]

I love how into it the singer is. Hes really feeling it (:

[madz2323]

Great song

[jameson1408]

when did this air on tv



[AardvarkBellay]

@jameson1408

Probably easter 2002 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The show is "Rockpalast" on federal TV station WDR.

[GeoffreyEatWorld]

I actually this it was Jim, the lead singer doing the solo.

[xtallyx1]

Great show, they look like a teenage garage band from the suburbs don't they?

[jimmyranger]

@xtallyx1 and thats what makes this guys so awesome :)

[Maxush]

I just ate a pack of M and M's and watched the entire concert. Sweet.

[Metalguitaristable]

where is the mosh pit?

[771logie]

Jimmy eat world ar sick!!!!!!! :)

[MrDellano]

he always messes up that solo live.

[Planb2276]

@MrDellano its a hard solo man...

[justdoit1316]

@MrDellano He didnt mess it up thats just how he does it live

[pikachuluver796]

i realize hes not as good a singer as on the web an rock band2 :-/ he sounds worse in person sorry i do lik this song an vid but not live good job on th vid!!! ~pikachuluver796

[Awstentbpguitar]

@pikachuluver796 You're stupid. He's not being run through a computer. It's natural. He sounds better than 99% of other bands out there live today.

[pikachuluver796]

@Awstentbpguitar im not stupid =( its just my opinoin no one is exactly the same and dont have the same taste be happy its good 2 have ppl who r different =)

[TheFressh]

cooooool !

[painalzorz]

womans singing ruined it, and most the songs on this set :/

[RectoRocker76]

This is why you play live music!!!

[lacata95]

does somebody knows how to play the intro? i have about 5 guitar pro tabs but they are all differents, in internet there are different tabs so i really dont know how to play it, i watched this video just to see jim's fingers and have an idea, but i couldnt... pleaseee help meee

[Shatmen]

@lacata95 i do but most tabs are wrong i dont know how to write out tab but heres what you do you go from 9th fret to 5th on the A string then to 4th fret A string then 5th fret again on the A string tell me if it works

[pipandrew]

@Shatmen 

[pipandrew]

@lacata95 just figure it out it aint that hard

and tbh the guitarist is just messing around on the riff from the album here

but if you want fairly accurate tabs check out Ultimate Guitar usually something good there

[DonkaPuncher]

@lacata95 It's incredibly easy. The tabs may be right, but never trust them. Most tabs are always wrong. Use your ear, learn your notes on your fretboard, and then listen to the song. It'll come to you.

[boandreas]

love this song

[TheWhiteVideos]

Can somebody tell me what guitar he is using for that solo. Very nice sounding.

[pipandrew]

@TheWhiteVideos Gibson Les Paul Standard in Black

[mnmno123mnmno]

i am a new fan for jimmy <3

[redemption95]

*Energy

[redemption95]

I love the song but they play it live with no enerdy

[Thatoneguyfromwalmar]

Live lyrics are weak! xD

[hman950]

why is it that on spotify they say that Jimmy eat world is a emo band?

[Enzo000000000]

IF it's an emo band, then it's the first one not to talk about love and sadness.

[itzr0g3r]

Epic song. Epic band

[itzr0g3r]

Epic song. Epic band

[LarryBizzerrd]

mychar111 you gotta be kidding me, this is one of the most consistent live bands around today. I personally prefer most of the live versions to the albums.

[YUPnNOPE]

love this song!! lyrics are SO TRUE!~

[kardzfn21]

This song for me will forever be linked to Bacceluarate 2002 at V.H.S.! Not alot of schools have Bacceluarates anymore but we still do here in Vandalia & The Middle is 1 of the songs we walked into at it. Very cool so that's why it will forever be linked to my graduating classmates of 2002 at V.H.S.

[lazer59882]

@kardzfn21 good for you.

[Legaedify]

Amazing performance especially with Rachel Haden.

[Malover11]

Great tune, I think the chick singing takes the edge of his voice, a pity, I thought he sang really well. Good performance

[ddup911]

either hes not singing loud or his mic is turned down really low. i wish it was much stronger.

[gdfobmcrsum41]

AMAZING performance! as usual =D

[carandres15]

fucking camera man, didnt capture the solo

[mychar111]

I love their music, but they don't seem to be that tight live: that solo was really sloppy.

Drummer has a cool playing style though.

[bobbert152]

Gibson Sg Cherry Standard =]

[1994Andy2007]

The backup vocals from their friend just needed to be a bit quieter tbh

[DevinHawkins69]

Why is everyone mouthing them. I think there amazing live just like the album, but more harmony.

[LinkinParkKanenite]

Yeah I think this is good dunno why everyone is complaining.

[sebmaq]

I love this song but this performance is very lack lustre especially his singing, shame

[MrCrisDay]

it wasn't THAT bad

his vocals were fine not his best like but alright

[CTIKilluG]

WDR = West Deutscher Rundfunk falls keiner weis

[eath3]

I'd say vocals (both voices) were very good.

[nfgandy1]

dude i think there great live

any song i hear from them i just wanna get up and dance

lol

[crbrucelee]

why is everyone talking shit about the backup ( there friend )

shes a good singer , not as good as jim in my opinion but shes good

[dantheman1261]

the solo is clearly mimed... and the vocals really aren't good

[guitarrhythymfool]

what makes you say its mimed?

[guitarrhythymfool]

its not even the same solo, the second legato part is slightly different

[dantheman1261]

you're right, it's not mimed, don't know what I was thinking really... I dislike the vocals though, sounds really off to me

[Rotary5ive]

20,000th view!!!!!!

[th3echelon89]

So?

[drummerjim5]

amazing band awesome song, but the crowd r so dhit

[mellonindustries]

hmmm, not very good live i see, well you have to be there to really apprisiate it, good band though

[Xdominik2940X]

wow i who ever was on camera ill get fired how the f*ck u don't show solo thats just lame...

[nenn0kotor]

live is so girly

[greendayfrk24]

wait who's that girl singing backup with them?

[MIKEYYUMYUM92]

it says at like 40ishhh seconds in

[mattgro777]

rachel hayden

[VilliViking]

who the fuck is rachel hayden?

[SCR09213]

super awesome friend

[Pyritmann]

she sings on the album too

[decentdrummer911]

nope

[MakeToastNotWar]

Loving the vocals 3:08-ish ^__^

[Moonman13w]

Great performance, but why not film the guitarist during the solo!! its really gay.

[FrightenedFart]

@Moonman13w i guess you're used to that though

[CheesyCarlos]

@Moonman13w probably cause it sucked

[gastonie]

@Moonman13w

because J.e.W. is a computer generated band. Good CGI, eh?

[fixmeplz]

@Moonman13w Gay? you mean, like... bad?? Thx for giving a shit. Asshole.

[TerradudeV2]

@fixmeplz Chill, bro. "Gay" as slang for "bad" is obnoxious, but it ain't no big thing.

[LEFT4BASS]

@Moonman13w Even as a bassist, I have to agree.

[greatfelixo]

@Moonman13w the way they film it is not "gay"

[pugnerd]

*clicks favorite button*

Aw, Jim's so cute with the "dancing"...

[blinknullmiss9696]

stupid camera...why wouldnt be on him when hes playing the solo??? retards

[Jesse872]

i know dude i agree...

[jersonpo02]

great solo.

[AlleyKatKid]

jeez that dude singin kicks some serious ass with that gnarly solo

[1bananenfan1]

I don't like that girl singing....

but the guitar solo is great!!!

and the song, too!

[HippoInAmsterdam]

the camera work is terrible...

[llamavlog]

they've got some super-awesome guitar skills live, and the harmonies are really great :D

[ckyfan84]

cool

[peronian]

Don't waste your time and energies on someone who's only seeking for a spot light. It's not worth it.

Just enjoy the show, I do.

[jeffreykins]

Typical american, scared of communism. Nobody cares about your opinion, as you seem to have way too much time on your hands if you can be bothered to search for a band you dont like and watch a video and post a comment. I bet it was sunny out and you were in your mum's house with the curtains drawn on the internet. Act your age mate. <3

[Ddsanchezzz]

age 19 en already spreading bullshit...way to go man...f*ck off & have some fun on your own

[davidHasselhoff]

Haha!Commie?!?Something tells me this song isn't about Communism.I could be wrong though.

[XiledSoviet]

wtf?
