The Gaslight Anthem- Old White Lincoln

[hari2012]

i want to halve my telephone bill

[GroundBreakZero]

it reminds me of a mix of the strokes and killers, im glad i found this band

[juancarlosvlogs]

i love this little boys from Jersey!

[Misheequa]

why have i only just seen this now?

[awesomeextreme]

is it physically possible to not like anything by this band.

[VonFalconerIII]

Best of New Jersey. Best of America. BEST OF THE WORLD!

[Beastify9pointO]

awesome song

[raasco1]

so damn good.

[chubbyblob]

The 'dislike' button needs a dislike button.

[XxHornyLionxX]

this sounds so much like The Killers!

[GetRad831]

YAY NEW JERSEY!!!!!!



[RSEclipz88]

One of the best bands out there today in my opinion. Brian Fallon talked about the story behind this song in an acoustic version he did, and the way he tells it just puts a smile on your face.

[dalenny1976]

fucking deadley

[stevenarndt]

Love those black black chuck taylors.

Chuck ME! Another cool band discovered because of Chuck the tv show.

s

[3478dimsim]

It's flabbergasting that every one of my peers that I show The Gaslight Anthem to don't like it! What is this world coming to...?

[bpnrandall]

@3478dimsim you need better friends.

[17Hongo]

listening to these guys play and sing is like hearing about my all too recent teenage years! It's nice to see this kind of thing is back on stage again after all the crappy pop music that comes through "my days". I finally have music to be proud of!!

[mynthon11]

Good....Cure....Friday im in love... Alex can play that guitar like a beast! GREAT_BAND

[jrock0077]

@jrock0077 so yeah...never said i could spell....the second line of my post where it says "or and thing" yeah its supposed to read "or ANY thing" just had to clear that up;).....hugh...i feel better now.

[INBdcINB]

I think there is some sort of mistake... Why is there a dislike button for this song?

[onepiecefan1231]

and again i raped the replay button xD

[heilstani]

it's so fantastic.... The Boss is back :-)

[trippettaa]

Brian Fallon>Brandon Flowers

Gaslight Anthem>Killers

Old White Lincoln>All These Things that I've Done

[musicchick85]

If you don't the like the song or band, don't talk smack. Or don't even comment. Better yet, don't watch the video!!!!! I personally, love this song!

[aragorn1111]

This song is a crossbreed between The Cure "In Between Days" sung by Brandon Flowers backed by the E-Street Band. As Homer says "Bo-ring."

[JBoothy94]

a little to poppy.... :)

[pcgamerdude]

Haha, for some reason whenever I'm looking up this song I get confused because all I can think about is those Converse at the beginning!

[ExtraWedgie]

Edmonton, on September 8th!!!!!!! gonna be a great show.

[tgafan83]

@ExtraWedgie  Seattle, WA on September 13th!!!!!! gonna rock!! You should go to the Seattle show too!

[luckeynumber7]

I need them to come to Canada one of these days! anywhere on the east coast and id be there in a split second 

[tragicallyhip4ever]

Seeing them in Madison next month. CAN'T WAIT!

[ivanpuga]

fuck the killers!!!!

[halvy51]

Seeing them tonight in Asbury Park, NJ at The Stone Pony!!!!

[JoeCore6]

what kind of guitar is the singer playing?

[BeaverDingx]

@JoeCore6 Tele :)

[DeapPolitical]

@JoeCore6 A classic fender telecaster (check out the video for the 59 sound for a closer look). He also plays a fender jazzman (IE, the great expectations video) and at most of the recent live shows he's played a les paul.

[Thor27436]

The Killers? Alright, Hot Fuss was great, but Day and Age was terribly meh. The Gaslight Anthem is pure quality, especially live, unlike the Killers.

[Mcmonkeybeats]

you and your high top sneakers and your sailing tattos...... best line ever

[Mcmonkeybeats]

@darikasper13 dude i dont give a fuck its a good song i didnt really know what hes said so fuck off

[Mcmonkeybeats]

@darikasper13 i dont fucking go to a website to see the lyrics i jusat type what i think so just fuck off u motherfucking whore dick choking faggot.

[Mcmonkeybeats]

@darikasper13 that doesnt make sense so just fuck off.

[MrBignick69]

enjoy!

[Sanger500]

Where's Silent Bob?

[ciaosatellite]

talent goes to Gaslight Anthem

development of sound goes to the Killers

both are mindblowaszzz

[ACEHOLETHIRTEEN]

@ciaosatellite This destroys the killers.

[doombot4]

gonna see them this friday already waiting for it

59 sounds album is simply amazing so

[evilnarc]

The Killers are better though. But these guys are amazing.

[thetompenney1]

@evilnarc The killers are more popular, not better.

[Nitros65]

@thetompenney1 Incorrect, The Killers are the best band out there right now.

Why was the comment even made? The Killers and Gaslight are completely different.

[musicchick85]

@Nitros65 The Killers are just popular right now. Not the best.

[21CenBreakdown]

Saying the Killers are better than the Gaslight Anthem is like saying Justin Bieber is better than Bruce Springsteen.

[RyanTheComedyKid]

I'm seeing alot of repetition with this band so far, can anyone direct me to a song by GLA that would be a little different?

[clom1234]

@RyanTheComedyKid Have you heard 'Red at Night'?

[RyanTheComedyKid]

@clom1234 Actually, just listened to that and I have to say that it is my favourite song by them so far. Thanks for the comment tho!

[marshplant]

see you @02 brixton

you lot fukin Rock!!

Peace out

[MateriaWolf]

I like this 59 sound album, but I also like their new stuff =)

[bunrei]

Perfect for THE SOPRANOS!!

[justinable3]

Im sorry some idiot has shit all over his book. I hope he finds a way to clean it

[gaijinmaster]

one of my all time fav tracks. never grows old. love it!

[XMyLifeIsADisasterX]

in the beginning it kind of sounds like "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.

:]

[Zendrix3]

@XMyLifeIsADisasterX show me, show me show me...how you do that trick! I agree with that more than the notion of the Killers.

[XMyLifeIsADisasterX]

@Zendrix3 agreed.

[christopherhb]

re:negitive comments,...create some kind of music, art, media and have it be judged, see how brave you are

[christopherhb]

re:negitive comments,...create some kind of music, art, media and have it be judged, see how brave you are

[Kaylasxe8D]

There's another that literally has the same exact bass line and beat as this, just sped up a little... "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre.

[Lvsme]

sweet!!!one of my best of 2009XD

[slauer34]

yes i am a bitch because these guys blow - makes total sense --face it -its weak

[MToddster]

I still can not see the comparision to The Killers.

But TGA is the perfect band to listen to when you think music has been downgreaded to crap like Ke$ha and the like.

[something1523]

@MToddster so true

[Vancetopher]

lol yet another hater

[LillyDC9000]

awesome :D

[peervlierden]

Brilliant

[hotwatersoup]

Is Springsteen doing the voice over ??

[1foofighter606]

i dont hear bruce's voice

[kopp099]

perfect

[slauer34]

these guys still suck

[deadhead020]

@slauer34 you don't have to be a little bitch and insult the band. If you don't like them, don't listen to them. It's as easy as that. You don't need to be an asshole and write shit about how you think they suck

[sarah14i]

I love these guys with a passion. The '59 Sound is my favourite album of all time. I love their style (:

[Zendrix3]

@sarah14i fav. album of all time..haha.

Love how we now have to catapult everything we hear, say and do to GOAT status.

Keep on Rockin, Gaslight!

[dragon53777]

@sarah14i Their new album is amazing.....if you haven't picked up American Slang you definitely should.

[kackamann132]

@sarah14i Try "Amrican Slang" :P

[mayhemlee]

heard this song for the first time tonight, blew me away.....i hear a springsteen voice, the cure's guitars and bass, and travis barker's punchy drumming.....into a sound i've not heard yet......nice job guys this song is fucking sweet.....

[chuck5104]

When is youtube going to fix this fucking comment situation? Jesus Christ. This is probably one of the top 5 most visited sites in the U.S., if not the world, and they can't fix a problem that has been going on as long as this? Lets get some structure going on here!

[anneliesvan]

finally a story teller again, just like bruce

[jasontlewis]

bass line from The Cure + vocals from The Killers = this song

[TroyNamedSue]

My only problem with this band is how much they blatantly rob Tom Waits references.

[RagamuffinGunner13]

@Troy

It's not robbery; it's a homage. Aren't you glad that there's one punk band out there that's actually heard of Tom Waits?

[Koptfoeva]

yeah man! i only like bands that dont rip off there influences oh wait THEY ALL DO DUMBASS

[bloodandwhiskey5]

Then again, Tom Waits blatantly robs Bukowskis and Captain Beefhearts references.

[thegingerpirate]

Why is it the bass riff at the beggining reminds me so much of Social Distortions "Don't Drag Me down"?

[fzappa007]

@thegingerpirate Yep I hear Social D all over their stuff...hey there's nothing wrong with that??

[todfather76]

this was a great band live, i was able to se them in Chicago at Lollapalooza 2009. great time!!!!

[Princessballbreaker]

What makes this band so good is that it had great lyrics about real and obtainable things that relate to people plus it kinda harkens back to the time before the 60's when everything was better.

[antinazi1985]

everything was better alright, except you wouldnt get to watch this video or post comments about it

[Dunraz87]

The whole album is definitely worth to buy.

[goinggoinggone7]

when i listen to this i smile without thinking about it, one of those few song you can get lost in

[skaterchik3462]

@goinggoinggone7 so true

great band.

[maverickxpunk]

god I love this band.

[kenzd266]

TUNEEE

[iheartnobody]

The only similarity to the Killers I kind of hear is in the echoey quality of the vocals, like in "All These Things That I've Done." But it doesn't matter. Gaslight Anthem shits all over the Killers in my book.

[bLitz72]

@iheartnobody i love their lyrics nd their tunes, its sooo good it makes me feel good, its something i'd listen to while im driving on the highway

[PhuriousStyles]

ha ha i had that same convo with a friend! i said the killers wished they could be the gas light! end of lol!

[cosmowiz]

@iheartnobody

What the fuck kind of books are you reading? :P

[iheartnobody]

@cosmowiz Perhaps a book that is a few too many reading levels out of your reach. :( No worries, here's this copy of Everyone Poops. Once you grasp this basic principle, you can go on to see the bigger picture of Gaslight Anthem shitting all over The Killers.

[NoTimeLikethePast]

@iheartnobody WHAT!? YOUR BOOK HAS BANDS THAT SHIT ALL OVER EACH OTHER? I want that book.

[DeapPolitical]

@iheartnobody I definitely agree that TGA beats the killers, but they reflect each other in the sense that (unlike other modern bands) they write LYRICS. But brian is much better than brandon flowers, and much easier to get along with.

[aragorn1111]

@iheartnobody The singer's voice is eerily similar to Brandon Flowers. It pretty obv.

[zzboobzz]

@iheartnobody

The reverb being used to record the vocals on this track definitely has a Killers sound to it, along with the pacing of the melody. I've always felt the Killers sound a hell of a lot like The Cars. So really who cares. Good music, rock to it and be happy.

[guitarrocker88]

his voice sounds like bruce springsteens?

[eddi919]

theyare from the same part of america and they have played together a coulpe of times :)

[smibill1967]

great song but I hear Replacements or early 90's Goo Goo Dolls in their music. Don't hear the comparisons to the Killers.

[rkirkpatrick25]

could not agree more, it's a mix of replacements and early 90s GGD.

too bad the GGD suck now, i hope gaslight doesnt end up like them...

fallon sounds just like westerberg

[Hediden]

KILLLERZZZ

[daennniz]

so what if there are similarities. that's how music works. even better, that's how art works, we experience life and all it has to offer to inspire us in making our art. that's pretty much the only way it can be done. that's how we came from being cavemen to ignorant youtube viewers in the first place: mere imitation.

[br00t4lpowermetalomg]

gahh. Who cares who they sound like? Yeah, this song is kinda light in comparison to other ones they've done, but to me they sound more like The Bouncing Souls/The Lawrence Arms/American Steel, etc. - that type of punk, with some indie rockish influence on "59 Sound"

[rolgy9154]

people who compare this band to the killers are just proving to everyone how stupid and ignorant they are. the ONLY similarity between the two bands is the reverb on the vocals. that is it. they music they play isn't even close.

[screamstereoscream]

@rolgy9154 Benny from gaslight said that he hates the Killers comparisons and that they are in fact "corndicks"

[fantombiker]

Why do all these posts want to pointlessly compare and contrast with some other bands? It is what it is....good songs

[KachiOya]

I've said that like 10 times. There are similarities in everything if you look, but humans can't find it in themselves to approve the equality of their in group and other out groups. They'd much rather denote those which are not their hosts.

[svafilmer]

has anyone ever heard any of their other songs? this 1 and only song sort of sounds like the Killers, but even so not really. Enough Killers talk already sheesh - way too many other influences for this band and trust me the Killers isn't one of them

[thegrassisbluer09]

@svafilmer If this sounds like the Killers then Elvis Costello plays death metal.

[screamstereoscream]

@svafilmer I'm hearing more cure than killers, listen to just like heaven and this, alex is super influenced by the cure in this song

[AnotherTallGuy]

Hate the Killers; independent of whether or not I like this band.

[karl16248]

this music feels like dancing in the rain...... <3

[Stevofsky]

really good band, but the killers are GREAT. this whole negative attitude these guys and some of their fans are taking about the killers is just fucking lame. it's like they are so desperate to be liked (fans especially) they have to tear down others to get there. if they came up when springsteen was coming up, they probably would've hated him too.

[jzancan]

the band has a negative attitude toward the killers? even if so, who cares. they can't have an opinion of a band too?

[TheChristsLove]

Why do I like it so much that he smiles through out most of the video?

[zethgb]

Ofc people compare them to the killers, he sounds alot like mr Flowers.

Also, people saying that the killers suck...

Sure you are entitled to your own opinion, but I get the feeling you would've loved killers if they were still fairly unknown. I find myself dissing things just because the hype gets to big. Its a real turnoff.

[TheChristsLove]

Very, very, very well said sir. Like I find myself boycotting and not liking the Twilight series. Funny thing is, I did that for The Killers too until Sam's Town came out...now The Killers are one of my favorites.

[parakeet1993]

Great band! Love that kind of music!

[timesnewroomeman]

The bassist was at my choir concert last night hahaha that guys funny as hell

[xMrsSchaferx]

I just found the band and they already have another fan with them :P

[PrototypeSourri]

Oh my gosh, they are so great, i cant wait to see em at the open flair 2010

[lilalouwho]

Great bands like this are so under-rated...

[maximumridefreak5]

agree

[BigWinky]

say what you will about jersey, they make the best rock.

[expectorant1]

seer

[mattline46]

Just because The Killers are successful doesnt make them bad, Just beacuse there well known doesnt mean you have to talk shit. GLA is great too. Dont need to freak out over nothing ^.^

[Donniejepp]

Fuck those Killers-comparisons! The Gaslight Anthem is everything good Rock music should be about. The Killers are the complete opposite, they stand for everything bad in music... sometimes it's just a feeling but i can't understand why not everbody is feeling this...

[axl7019]

You´re absolutely right,The Killers suck big time ! The GLA are not overproduced,but a true hardworking band.

[maximumridefreak5]

theirs diff types of music. killers got thy're own style. you just dont like em. like both of em. killers are way different than Gas Light Anthem

[spencerguitardster]

This guy sounds soooo much like the lead singer of The Killers.... awesomeeee

[shityeahbmx]

haha so true,so true...

[meimsupafly]

jersey prideee !!! he's sooo cute

n i love their song,we came to dance,good one...

[RVProductions]

lol, fuck Lindsay Lohan

[kelliher99]

i cant believe i read anything that was posted here u guys are the biggest bunch of whiney bitches ever ! best album i heard in a while!

[shityeahbmx]

def are some whinney lil mutts on here..

[element131x]

I always find it ironic when people whine about other people whining :)

[saxyybassface]

the beginning kind of sounds like The Cure..?

[duckman420563]

agree

[moopymen123]

yea, a bit i guess

[StiLLFLyStL]

It has a very 80's kind of feel.  I like it.

[XxSternchenxX8]

omg sounds like brandon flowers. and he looks very very sexy too :) well and of course the song is good too:D

[br00t4lpowermetalomg]

I bought both their albums.

I haven't made such worthy purchases in a hell of a long time.

Now I need to track down a copy of their EP, "Senor and the Queen"...haven't found it at any shops! :[

[TheChristsLove]

Well I went to Best Buy and they only had 59' Sound and not the one before it, I can't remember the name. But 59' Sound is just excellent I will have to find the other album on Amazon or something. I am sure you can find "Senor and the Queen" album online also.

[shityeahbmx]

sink or swim is def amazing too.

[setwo1]

sounds like early bruce springsteen

[TubesforDudes]

I personally am going to have to agree with patrickritsma, since in real life he is such a sexy manbeast with an excellent three point shot.

[XwashburnbassplayerX]

the singer reminds me of a diffrent singer who soounds almost exactly like this. i love both this and the other band but i cant remember the other band if you can please tell me.

[noisyrag]

The Killers?

[XwashburnbassplayerX]

oh ya i know the killers one of my fav. bands

[noisyrag]

Can you give me some more hints about the band you were thinking of? Were they from back in the 80's or are they newer?

[mohashly]

the killers

[XwashburnbassplayerX]

it wasw a pretty old band but i cant think of it

[noisyrag]

Here's some 80's bands that this song reminds me of: The Cure, New Order, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Psychedelic Furs, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Depeche Mode.

[noisyrag]

But they sound so much like The Cure and New Order.

[K4driver2]

Best Thing out of Jersey Since The Boss.
