Vampire Weekend - A-Punk (Live on Later with Jools Holland)

[DIGITALH1TMAN]

@theokenward It's an epiphone sheraton I belive :)

[epitty1]

doesn't sound right without thousands of screaming fans

[theokenward]

does anyone know what guitar the frontman has?

[dannylaine1096]

@theokenward its a epiphone looks abit like a es 335 or casino :/ not totally sure though 

[camppins]

i love vampire weekend

[flybar33]

Terribly out of sync but amazing.

[PisaniStefano]

How cool is this band

[SanaLoveCookies]

i think their are a bit boring live... but they are one of my favourite bands!!!

[armsofdelmar]

@SanaLoveCookies chu crazy

[jamesacalderwood]

this was the first song i ever heard from them, amazing :D

[AnIntangibleBadge]

YESTERDAY IS HERE.

[MrMikeyXx]

why is he singing like he has down syndrome

[armsofdelmar]

@MrMikeyXx cus you have no penis

[MrMikeyXx]

@armsofdelmar i love them but this live performance was shit, jeez, chicks should stick to making sandwiches

[spidermansupersexy1]

ok...does it look like hes lip singing the words or is the camra just fucked up?

[TheCalum333]

framerate is a lottle laggy but like the vid

[Joshm5396]

@Fallinldols if you dont like vampire weekends sounds why in the name of fuck are you looking at this

[Fallinldols]

wow this is pussy as fuck

[scrabtree417]

@Fallinldols No my dear, the correct adjective I think your searching for is cerebral. 

[mrsk8tr22]

thats not them

[WeDealHarder]

@mrsk8tr22 You sir are an idiot.

[Jelybelybertybtz]

Loving it! Needs more base though.

[jamie4545454]

he needs to cut the strings off the guitar next time

[Vicriderforlife]

Why do they change the the vocals when it's live? EVERYONE DOES THAT! ...It bothers me cause it doesn't even sound like the song anymore... I'm disappointed with this video.

[andi9945]

i reken they faked this hes defs lip singing

[judas21]

@andi9945 the video is out of sync

[danielspital]

@andi9945 you clearly don't know the actual song if you think this is lip synced. The vocals are clearly not the same

[bareakon]

@andi9945 no, i think Jools has more class than that.

allowing a band to lip sync doesn't seem like his style

[petermccabe41]

@andi9945 He's not, the video is just out of sync.

[PorroFirst]

You see bands in bars in towns you never heard of performing better than this.

[SebAGITATED]

....I cannot understand a word he is saying....

[Adamskio93]

@SebAGITATED I think this a foreign...or fucked up or something

[golluba]

THEY WENT TO MY MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!

[Dkolps]

@soapy222111 i was being sarcastic

[Dkolps]

terrible lipsynching ezra...

[theuglyhairmonster]

not a great mimer XD

[MelleGrelote]

they was so young and cute!!!!!

[Comed3y]

These guys are great at making unusual songs that you wanna listen all the time ... Its the only band I know that can pull that off ...

[joeytubeify]

No. No. No. I'ts all wrong. They can't play live. This is not the song I fell in love with.

[RichingsC]

rah's

[domi4599]

good ol lip sync

[roxygirl1055]

Ezra is Sooooo cute! ^^

[teethboxxx]

his face doesn't suit his voice

[catchthepigeons]

@teethboxxx neither does yours !!

[jordanmcpartland]

he cant sing in this version but on the recorded its better alot better.

[streethassled]

Spooff in my Pants kinda song! Great!

[DW8807]

people say its the low point of their debut, but i completely disagree. they will be remembered for this song along with cape cod kwassa kwassa

[fuckyacum]

seriously your bitching about the placement of the fucking drums?

[MrVanwilder636]

@fuckyacum watch they'll start complaining about how their standing with their guitar.

[BTastings]

They throwbreaks to great surf rock of the early 60;s.

[RachaelPie]

I've always liked the way Ezra sings this live.

[joebergz1]

ok i love vampire weekend but i can now not watch this video without noticing the fuckup lol

[itstherevolution]

lol same here, pisses me off because they are usually good live, probably had too much to drink or something lol

[imthegreatest123able]

IM GOING TO SEE THEM!!!

[thomascompton800]

haha look at the drums he looks like he just started playin, their practically facing each other

[raulbarrientos007]

numbnuts im a drummer and there is no standard way on how to set up your drums.

every drummer sets them up differently for comfortability

[thomascompton800]

yh but this is bad for your wrists to have them too tilted, but oh well hes a decent drummer so who cares

[haggardtown]

cysublime: you're so dumg i will never love again

[cysublime]

nice fuck up at :21

[TonySarandrea215]

ohhh who cares

[itstherevolution]

nice of u to point out a fuckup, lol when was the last time u were on jools holland?

[koopasideburns]

i wonder what kind of bass the bassist is playing

[jeromerocks123]

@koopasideburns

it looks a little like a rickenbacker but im not sure

[soccer5125]

@BrainSpecialist... you watch Leverage? cuz you just quoted it...

[storai]

How mad is what the keyboard player is wearing. superb.

[95ness95duck]

not really, when u said that i waited to see a keyboard player in a sparkly onesie or sumthin so it was ddisappointing lol

[YouKnowItsMatt]

that's not gay.

[BrainSpecialist]

Oh dude, you have no idea.

[DannyEJW]

@BrainSpecialist: so why have you just watched it if you dont like it?

[BrainSpecialist]

Wanted to show someone how shit this song was.

[DannyEJW]

yeah cos thats not just sad

[BrainSpecialist]

Not as sad as watching Vampire Weekend. That shit makes me weep tears of blood.

FROM MY EARS.

[wtficantgetanamewtf]

You listen to Radiohead, they were already bleeding.

[ganyadus]

Dude dont even try.. people are stupid...I fucking love these guys something different. Im sure this guy is just a typical metal head and hey if he likes that alright just dont come bashing other peoples music...

[pizzadealer]

he looks like ned (survival guide)

[hightopnikes104]

@pizzadealer no, ned looks like him ;)

[nowfoundmichael]

of course its live lissen to the bass guitar in the bride part and all the drums are micd up and u can her the bass drum is micd aha

[IsThisHalloween]

True! =D

[daddiddidoo]

this is the longest 2:11 of my life...feels more like February

[daddiddidoo]

has the singer hit puberty yet? what is he about 4'8"?

[autumngold1]

at the very end when ezra reaches to the head of his guitar, he looks like a god.

[TheHonestCommenter]

Inbetweeners!!!

[mentalbowen]

they're good, but...maybe not

[CJS925]

ok, don't go to far there, joe.

[TheJacoTeam]

fav band aof all tiem

[MarcelaLSD]

Legal

[chrisdakilla]

wait.....what the hell were you watching? They sound as good live as in the album. Something you cannot get out of many bands that need studio help to sound good.

[CFswimmerjustincen]

yea i know right...

[chrisdakilla]

You obviously don't know the difference then. Just listen to the guitar, it's live..... Besides it's Jools Holland! They play no CD's there for bands!

[04youencpro]

Well after listening to both i can now tell the difference, but shows like Top of the Pops don't let the bands play live.

[chrisdakilla]

:)

Top of the Pops eh? Sounds like something I wouldn't watch lol. But ya, glad you can see the diff. It's a slight difference but they sound great!

[MuzicFreakk]

it's obviously live. at least for the singing.

[S2Cband]

who is this only a four and a half starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr??????????­???????????

[ihaveAfr0]

i love the bass guitar in this song.

[iloveher1773]

i love this band.

if you have the chance, can you look at my guitar/keyboard cover i did and tell me what you think?

[stomachtalk]

Columbia!!! woooooo! go lions!! :)

[anjieflame]

Nice song. The lead singer's cute

[foofighter1337]

lol I was expecting some whiny emo band by the name (wasn't quite sure why youtube recommended them) but they're quite alright. A little too happy, but still very good.

[macfreak21]

the bands name is quite opposite what they are. They all attended Columbia University

[crankthetoto]

hey im a vampire and i go to columbia

[spazfootball]

lol

[spazfootball]

lol

[TheGreatKrystoff]

I like them and all...but they're just too fucking preppy...why can't they just start doing drugs and get a TINY bit edgy.

[AndrewThomasR]

it wont be too long now haha.

[willlfenwick]

why would that make them a better band? it's still the same music, no point thinking like that to be honest.

[lazymaisie00125]

amazing!!

[JackLunn1992]

shite song , i cant understand ONE lyric that hes "singing"

[jaishalattacks]

haha, i used to hate them but now i quite like them. they're very light hearted.

[costlas]

it sounds very , very different this song on live

[skatekid032]

the singer reminds me of john lennon in the early beatles

[ReggattaMondatta]

Looks wise I hope?

[shenmue15654]

fuckin ace live band

[bjornisthebestyeah]

J'taime!

[robbz88]

originalll or wat brainy tune

[thevetiaromeiza]

ezra koenig's voice is unique

[BOOMxxBOOM92]

they sound really diff. live.... ehhh... as far as vocals go anyway..

[BexBullet]

This is the kinda song to play on a sunny day at the beach with mates. Love it :]

[Dozman12]

It's not the graphics card GPU that is used to convert videos, it the the main CPU. The more than likely explanation for the out of sync audio is caused by poor software.

[zoltar5282]

Yippeee...Indie Rock.

[cicicitron]

J'adore !

[beers10]

Is all of their music like this? Because of their name I assumed they were like an emo or screamo band.

It was quite enjoyable. XD

[honuecker]

Yes. All of their music is like this!

[marcwilliamUK]

no theyre quite worldy in a alot of their tunes, lots of weird intruments. Theyre mint I recommend them, listen to 'oxford comma'

[beers10]

Cool, thanks!

[daveybhoy87]

that bass lines got the funk

[crazyjoker11291]

this is one of the absolute worst songs ive ever heard. i dont know how people listen to this its like ripping out my eardrums

[shindra86]

ur comment is like ripping my eye balls...this song happens to be very good

[enokik]

even I don't like this band but you can't say it's the worst and they sing really good live.

[NocturnalENumbers]

he sounds slightly mexican xD he says *reever* instead of *river* x x

[moicanospbr]

legal

[Megannnnnn101]

looks like hes lipsinging but maybee its just the computer

[legitstuff]

yeah its like that on my computer too

[Megannnnnn101]

haha

lol

XD

[l2enegadesofFunk]

"Vampire Weekend play APunk live on later with jools holland. (YouTube has shoved it out of sync for some reason but the sound quality is fine)"

[RyoSanadaOfWildfire]

you can tell they are tired of that song.

[TJH47]

how much weed were you smoking when you posted that man lol

[xxanouskaxx]

LOL

[hipstugo]

uju son buenoiisisisisiismos

[BobKaz37]

i love em....they got there own "sound".........every fuck knows em now cos of his song...lol..its on every tv show as a " music" interlude

salou them

[whatevarrr]

i think they were better on letterman, but still amazing here :D

[mattbellamymate]

quality bassist. lol his voice sounds way different

[KaO10]

que buena onda su musica

[andyf2280]

sounds like paul simon.

[standrew8]

yes it does!!! =)

[Monomanio]

they enjoy play their music, and a enjoy listen them it..

[cjbirk]

what the fucking fuck?

[verokil]

Translation...

"They enjoy playing their music and I enjoy listening to them because they're freaking amazing."

I added a lil' something' somethin'.

[cjbirk]

thx mayn. u iz mastur translaytoor

Kool beenz. Gr8 b/-\nD

[SaweetSushii]

LOL .

[ritualfunk]

what the fuck is this lol

[shakezulathemicrulah]

hahahahaha they cant even play their instruments!

[StreetSkater888]

the guitars a little big for him lol

[cman122333]

ha... its youtube... the sound isnt in time with the picture... it does that with some videos

ITS LIVE!

[rockon907]

to everyone who says there miming your all idiots! jools doesnt let anyone on whos mimes because thats pointless and fake.

listen to it and at 21 seconds you can hear a mistake on the guitar which obviously shows that its live

you know it is possible for bands to sound perfect live, which shows how amazing they are.

[nuttyboy007]

Anyway...on a happier note, i think these guys sound like the lovechild of MGMT, and The Libertines, or Bbabyshambles, both of which i love so yay xD

[JimPleb]

Bad synch u dopey bellend

[Daz769]

MINING LIKE WANKAS!!!

[TR3FLIP1]

Jools Holand doesnt let people on who mime u dik

[Daz769]

Look, i dnt dispute that this is a gd song by a good band, but let me tell ya summert whether jools hollands lets people on miming or not it dnt matter

THESE PLAINLY ARE!!!! if u wtch it properly yal c no evidnce o live performing and plus it sounds totally like the album track, it dnt sound live or luk live.....

An ya abut stupid jimpleb, bad sycnch?? whats that...............bad synch as in they aint singin in synch wiv music bein played, YA DOPEY BELLEND!

[nuttyboy007]

Look, twat, i know you think you're smart, and cool because you think you know what bad sync means, but this isn't mimed. The video must have gone out of sync with the audio when the video was converted into an uploadable file, or when it was uploaded onto youtube, because as you can quite clearly see the whole video is out of sync with the audio, not just the singing.

Much Love, Nutty x

[Inbetweener87]

daz u are a moron, they arnt miming, listen to ther album version, theres a lot of differances

[elmuffin2612]

You're such a tit.

That's all I can say.

[bullwhale]

you're a fuckin idiot

[ROMANCEinDURANGO]

look, it's not mimed, if you listen to the slow bit where the synth starts, theres a missing part because its live.

and its not just that, you can tell it's live if your not a complete fucking twat

you prick

[bonny147]

You seem to be getting a lot of grief for this. Richly deserved I would say.

[bonny147]

Daz769 that is

[mlbff4eva]

hes not miming u twat is just the bad quality of the video

[Arctor8]

yeh what they doing that for the scabs the union wont be happy long live arthur scargill

[didels123]
