Interpol - Obstacle 1 (Sessions @ AOL)

[saganemc2]

Best bass line ever

[saganemc2]

Best bass line ever written

[Interbasser]

it always looks to me Daniel wants to speed up...

[paranoidkid17]

this isn't autotuned

[Interbasser]

@paranoidkid17 I find it hard to tell it, how can I feel it is or not?

[TheSoccerfanatic07]

Is it just me or did Carlos look bored in this performance?

[Interbasser]

@TheSoccerfanatic07 he was mate. Actually.... he just left the band afterwards..

[INTERPOLFAN17]

Paul looks like Ewan McGreggor

[goodc713]

sober?



[alex182AvA]

This is teh best performance ever of this song!!

[julioperezespinoza]

autotune!? where the fuck is this autotuned?

[iFlorimond]

This is a great fun to play with the drums...

[rorydragula]

Its not autotuned, its just to dry. it needs reverb.

[cl8n86]

this isn't autotuned....

[INTERPOLFAN17]

@cl8n86 yes it is.

[FrivolousLawsuit]

ROFL @ "she puts the weights"

[gonzaroac]

En menos de un mes estarán tocando en Chile y yo estaré ahí :B

[CaptainStridum]

@bloodlust711 that's not Ewan McGregor....

[zut25]

notice how when he sings falsettos he turns to the keyboard guy and smiles lolz!

[zut25]

weird his voice sounds auto tuned for some reason

is it just me??????

I definetly hear an auto tune on 0:33

wtf??

[cgimenezz]

1:24 carlos dengler i want your fingers, dude.

[bloodlust711]

I didn't know Ewan McGregor was the lead singer of Interpol

[TheSchoolsux345]

hahahahaha hes a little too in key

[PietRock85]

Ahh man.. FUCKING GREAT! His voice sounds amazing!

[discomage]

great sound

[marcostwin91]

i'd love to get those glasses!lol

[SomeSunshineOutside]

This is fucking sweet. I've been listening to this and Evil for a week now.

[uniiverselove]

whoever this camera man is sucks, only focusing on Paul, Dan and Sam...what the hell what about Carlos!?! I understand he doesnt really look into it but he was still a member at that time.

[LordChampoo]

@uniiverselove I'm pretty sure that a cameraman has a sense of detecting passion - paul, dan and sam have passion, and beloved carlos did not at the time. So that makes sense bcause carlos isn't a member of interpol anymore.

[SJHDD]

pity it is auto-tuned, but it still sounds nice I think.

[DocAuch22]

carlos kinda looks like christian bale here haha

[uniiverselove]

@DocAuch22 never. hes too sexy to be compared to that

[gilb04]

Hell, the wide stereo of the guitar tracks (Daniel on left, Paul on right) is priceless, very strange to hear this kind of stereo separation nowadays. :)

[markkklol]

Gahhh Daniel always gets off rhythm

[nnprecious13]

@markkklol no he doesnt. daniel never does.

[markkklol]

@nnprecious13 either you're delusional or musically deaf

[nnprecious13]

@markkklol Obviously you are. You dont see other people commenting about Daniel being "off rhythm". Dont try to start drama now. OK? OK.

[markkklol]

@nnprecious13 I'm not trying to start drama (i was a little intoxicated when I made that previous comment so excuse me if that was rude) I'm just saying in multiple performances I've seen he has a tendency to miss the mark a few times. Example: From :56 to the next chorus Sam is right on the mark but Daniel rushes. It sounds like he's not fully engaged with the rest of the performers at all times.

[nnprecious13]

@markkklol OK badboy. But anyways, it doesn't sound "terrible" right? It's nothing BIG that everyone can notice. Look at all these comments focused on Paul, nothing else about Dan being off tune. There was one thing that caught my attention though, Paul's voice. Why did it have to be auto-tuned?

[markkklol]

@nnprecious13 Oh no it's not totally terrible or that in your face really, don't get me wrong, just as a guitarist myself I'm kinda anal about that kind of thing. Obviously Interpol wouldn't be as successful as they are if he sucked total balls, which he doesn't.

But yeah I 100 percent agree with the auto-tune thing. I've seen a lot of AOL sessions where they do that... Ick.

[EmpathyBand1]

Definetly Auto-tuned. All the performances off of this session was.

[nnprecious13]

AUTO-TUNE? </3

[demmerfreak]

Is it possible to download this to Itunes?

[jules1737]

Autotune ruined this performance ugh.

[SoFarAreWe]

autotune?

[katieloper]

its a pitch corrector, common for in studio recorded sessions. seeing as all the musics in one spot its compressed, he was rather nasally for this performance tho which can cause that kinda sound.



[OriginalSHare]

Why the FUCK is this autotuned?!

[BustedZen]

@OriginalSHare Cause it sounds better.

[weasel4915]

@OriginalSHare It's not... this is how Paul sings Obstacle 1 in the OLTA era of live performances. Listen to any of them - they all sound like this. Maybe they refined him a little, but if you listen to their performance of Obstacle 1 @ Reading 2007 (it's on YT) you'll find that his vocals are even better there :)

[weasel4915]

@OriginalSHare T in the Park 2007 is available in better quality and it is pretty much the same performance, too.

[INTERPOLFAN17]

@OriginalSHare i think the sessions make the singers use it...or maybe it was paul's decision...who knows.

[Koksitto]

just...just amazing

[iriris]

Daniel Kessler epic dance! :D Love him!!!

[ToadEyesRulesAll]

Sam at 3:43 = jizz xD

[bassplayer94can]

2:39 fuck :)

[Velvetspoonful]

Can't we de-auto-tune? Sounds like a fucking vocoder from a macroencephalopathic commercial piece of ...

This singer is naturally awesome,and in all he does naturally it sounds so much better than without the freeedom of semi,whole,or why not quarter tones.

AOL deception.Hopefully they kept an unautotuned version somewhere.Even the singer'd feel cheated.

[Rockoutloud2172]

he has a near robotic effect on his voice. like its T-Paul

[carlos555yerald000]

regesa carlossss as parito no son lo mismo sin tu ingenio regressssaaaa

[ivistrokes]

carlos dengler i miss you :(

[uzy64]

You know aol autotunes all there live performances.

[cristianhv]

I kindda miss Carlos

[andyrawsyou]

he never sings like this, he sounds perfect and I love it.

[zane01canelo]

[edumuse123456789]

@zane01canelo q pena por ti ps si no te gusta no los escuches y ya pro no critiques los gustos musicales de los demas ok si te gusta el regeton o cmo se escriba esta bien o el rap o lo q sea pro no insultes q tocan mil vezes mejor q la porqeria del regeton o cmo se escriba

[thehornypuppy]

@edumuse123456789 Si sabes que a paul Banks le gusta el rap y el mismo ha hecho trabajos como DJ para uno que otro rapero por ahi verdad?

[zut25]

@edumuse123456789

no es por ser offensivo pero que pendejo a paul banks le gusta el hip hop y el rap es por eso que sus lyrics estan muy rimadas y creo que en una entrevista dijo que es todo lo que escucha solo rap pero creo que bromeaba pero se nota mucho que usa tecnicas del rap como el ad lib en sus grabaciones :)

[DirtyMidnightTown]

Daniel's guitar is way too quiet!

[noel2x]

oh yeah. the great carlos d.!!!

[dieinlima]

CARLOS!!!

[ManuCrazyBaby]

PERFECTION.

[AdaVMora90]

I love Sam he's amazing!

[ensignr]

Carlos is greatly missed.

[panu7]

[Nickdude6]

great recording!

[UprisingBliss]

Paul's voice is heaven <3

[amandinhad1princess]

[m3n78PL]

0:34 sounds like autotune ;-)

[DnBnl]

[ozabobododo]

Oh she's baaaad!

[quaxdowey]

Corona Capital! Interpol And Pixies

[JulianMoretti]

His voice sound like a GOD!!!

[LennyValentino9191]

the best live obstacle forever

[caimmizard]

@LennyValentino9191 I think the best performance for Obstacle 1 live is the one at Pepsi Smash... but now that I think I don't know if I can call it "live"...

[INTERPOLFAN17]

autotone? not saying this to bag on them. i love interpol.

[Tanikaze2]

@INTERPOLFAN17 not their choice. aol makes everyone use

[greeceking88]

Best performance of their greatest song....

I cant stop listening to it! :D

[phoenix02200]

dude you can tell this isnt recorded xDD

[redhotchilipepper417]

Interpol is touring with U2

[Jorge199327]

INTERPOL RULES!!

[lazyitis75]

all you guys shut ht e fuck up - enjoy the music or move on

very nice session, I LIKE IT

carlos rules - deserves more camera time

[ArturFlowers]

@lazyitis75 definitely. people seldom pay attention to the bassists, even as great as Carlos

[vileddisorder101]

Put it this way; without Guitar Hero, there is no money, without Fans there is no money, and without money we have no Interpol. Even if they sold themselves out, they need money to make Music, yes?

[Cyworldabcd]

Just because they arent making anymore music doesnt mean they are "sold out".

You talk like ur their manager.

If guitar hero asked you for a song from your band why would u say no to them?

[vileddisorder101]

Uhm, they are still very much making Music. Interpol sets off a new album 2010 if all goes accordingly as said on the website. And I didn't say it was Bad to put music on Guitar Hero. I clearly said they need money and a little advertisement always helps.

[girljeanschris107]

thats a nice scarf pauls got there cold in there??/ brilliant song

[FacesInTheSand]

his voice sounds like sweet honey

[glasses92]

they sold out to guitar hero with this song though =[

[ibelieveinhumans]

They sold out when they sold you a record :(

[reghmanolo]

@ibelieveinhumans

Listen after 2:27 it isn't a record. The sound of his voice is real..!

[carlo88moe]

come on dude, r u calling all the transformative bands on GH sellouts?

[bicpenusa]

how is that selling out? are they not allowed to make money? its not like they wrote the song just to make money and just wrote music people wanted to hear. some people are idiots, i do believe they might have i guess "sold out" in a way but not by having that song on guitar hero. That just means they were asked if they could have it on there and they said yes is that so wrong?

[mansell863]

i dont think they had much choice

[nicknoia]

best VOCAL performance

EVER

[concas85]

@nicknoia ever???

[errcycoo]

@nicknoia most definitely

[BlittoJr]

@nicknoia It is great... because it's autotuned

[yeahyeahyaha2]

@nicknoia 1:58, right

[carlo88moe]

@nicknoia were u being ironic, i prefer his voice circa the totbl or antics days, its gotten relative higher sense...a preferred the strident, brutal,almost shouting of back then...now he's singing more,its a more effaced vocal...check out the kimmel performance of ob1 and tell me that's not way better

[mgd5791]

UFFFF performance A1.... Thaks for share this :D

[jplayssfs8]

this is incredible

[sudsashen]

j'adore cette putain de chanson....

[00z4k00]

the best perfonmance ever =)
