Dustin Kensrue - "Pistol" music video

[AzureMonk]

I hope Dustin Kensrue realizes more material similar to this. I prefer it over Thrice. He's a wonderful lyricist (anyone who names songs after C.S. Lewis books is a gem!).

[unatke]

Why is it that a crappy country singer can "crossover" to rock but Dustin Kensrue can't rule Country?

[justinwdrum]

went out with a girl the other night that I met at a Christmas party, the first time I saw her I knew I ahd to go out with her at least once! I did that, I hope some day this song can be related to her :)

[jing3929]

anna, this song fits you great. love you babygirl

[lilmacster88]

@jing3929 my name is anna and my boyfriend plays this song for me... and I don't think you're him... who are you?

[papercraftghost]

Easily one of the best love songs of the past decade.

[carson123987]

I think he has a chad in

[crustypotoates12]

Someone sang this at a wedding for their sister and it was honestly the cutest thing I've ever seen!

[Bugeda100]

going to sing this to my wife one day

[HisDubbness68]

@kagnerweaton Its entirely possible to sing and blow a harp with a lip in...I seen't me do it lol. But I agree its real unlikely he's into that.

[kagnerweaton]

@BenLooked You and Psycho398 are just silly geese. Not because its impossible that he chews or anything, but because it is not possible to sing and play the harmonica with a dip in. And even if it was, would a professed Christian, who has written songs about how addictions ruin your life, put in a dip while filming a music video? I don't think so. It would ruin his image. Have a nice day!

[physco398]

does it not look like he has a dip of chewing tobacco in his lip?

[Niggaupnorth]

Typical...

[dforsey25]

This was the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding!! :P

[loveEks]

this song was going to be the song i first danced to at my wedding.. i miss my ex so much. :(

[shelbylynn90]

My fiance always said this song makes him think of me, so our friend is going to sing it as I walk down the aisle in two weeks <3

[saecor18]

as a girl it makes me so happy to hear that boys are planning to propose to their future wife's with this song.

<3

[Christine69ism]

Dustin cool song its a good love song my moms boyfriend sang it to her now hes gone

[TraLynLed]

This song has so much behind it!!! * sighs *

[xbroadzillax]

This is mine and my husbands wedding song. This is what we are using for our first dance. I cried the first time I heard it. I love this song. I could listen to it a million times a day and it would always make me smile.

[CrouchingHippo]

11 people forgot that you can still use your pistol even if you drop it in water every once in awhile.

[davidwb7777]

Worst song ever. What a croc.

[hockeyboy495]

@davidwb7777 go listen to someone rap about how they got aids you stupid spitfuck

[curo72]

@davidwb7777 Worst troll ever. What a tool.

[flumpxXx]

[IHATEAFGHANISTAN]

I want to sing this to my future wife right before I propose to her... One of my favorite songs for sure!!

[IHATEAFGHANISTAN]

I want to sing this to my future wife right before I propose to her... One of my favorite songs for sure!!

[vballplya09]

[razorramon310]

[kahngu]

[Mentalrift]

Love this song!!!

[charger619c]

Thrice Rules

[shyannjack7]

Good times :) Rock On! ! ;) Forgot about this song :0 loove it!

[slippych]

Any One know the Key of the Harp?

[myguitardidyermom12]

@slippych Well, the most common key for a harp is C, so I'd assume that's what his is in. But I could be wrong.

[slippych]

Any One know the Key of the Harp?

[briannaisbeastt]

My boyfriend sang this to me last night.. <3

[Icemandennis]

@briannaisbeastt so hed def got laid

[shelbylynn90]

My fiance's good friend is going to sing this for us at our wedding this July :]

[Bedwards129]

Officially just proposed with this song. :-) Fits her so perfectly

[Relinquished4]

@Bedwards129 A month late, but congratulations on your engagement. Love life, grow old together.

[stomponyourlife]

@Bedwards129 love it! congratulations!

[danielsickinger]

@Bedwards129 you sir are awesome! congrats btw

[SunnieD06]

Absoutely LOVE this song!! One day when I get married this song WILL be Played!

[MrRandalFlagg]

I play his CDs everytime I take a bath and try to relax. :]

[get331gladiator]

he is the hottest man alive <33333

[squatchmaster5000]

cool gunpoweder glare @ 2:12

[SpinelessJellies]

If I ever admit to liking country, it'll be all because of this man. Dustin, you are king.

[squatchmaster5000]

it aint country its folk!

[CrunchyModem]

I absolutely love Thrice and Kensrue's lyrics, but I just can not get into his solo work. I wish I could.

[MathematicKid]

@CrunchyModem: I really feel the same. I like his voice, I like his lyrics but somehow...please Dustin, focus on Thrice. Beggars is some months old, work on the next one and let it be as good as all your other albums :)

[shelbylynn90]

@MathematicKid I adore his side work, he's an amazing enough artist to be able to do solo work and still have the greatest band ever :] If Dallas Green can do it and still sound amazing in Alexisonfire, Dustin certainly can as well

[xThijzx]

@shelbylynn90 Haha i agree with u 100%! Dallas Green and Dustin Kensrue are are in my top 3 favourite singers, along with Rise Against's Tim McIlrath (HUGE voice)

[shelbylynn90]

@xThijzx

Oh my god YES! Tim is AMAZING, I've had the pleasure in seeing all three bands in concert (met Rise Against and Thrice) and they are all amazing performers and really cool guys :]

[xThijzx]

@shelbylynn90 haha I have seen all three of them too :D In fact, on the Alexisonfire concert, George (screamer) jumped into the audience, was standing between us, put his mic to my nose, and let me scream the first line of "This could be anywhere in the world" i talked to Dallas Green afterwards :) Yeah those must be my three favourite bands :D

[koolkitty752]

Dustin Kensrue is undoubtedly my favorite lyricist and a musician with a lot of promise. His variety really stands out from the crowd of all of those craptastic emo/hardcore bands who've nothing to sing about but their latest breakup. Thrice has really matured, and I love every bit of it. Especially the folk and blues part! :D

[JayDiggs12]

My favourite songwriter of all time, and he as well as Thrice are definitely underrated, they should be as big as Nirvana was in the 90's, but Im happy they haven't blown up to that level of success because who knows how that would impact the band and the music.

[Punk76com]

simply his very best work. Dustin Rocks!

[ASharpKnife]

Dustin Kensrue is such an under-rated song writer. He's really developed an uncanny ability to write music from many different angles. Kudos to him for taking the risk and releasing this solo work. Simply awesome.

[lastchancehero1]

Dustin just cant write a bad song. Its not in his blood. Sooooooo brilliant lyrically and musically. it's a shame when you say your fav band is thrice people don't even know who they are, never mind describing Dustin's solo work.

[K0erv]

You're so damn right.

[kayleakaylea]

Honey stop bitching about music. ): Get a goddamn life and stop bagging on such a talented and loved musician. Fuck your friend she wouldn't be able to pick out good music even if it came up and raped her. Fuck you, k? don't come back to this page if you think he sounds like a vagrant.

[joshuaspolar]

wow idiot, why don't you read the message I was responding to?

geez I love Thrice/Dustin - I've learned all his solo work on guitar

so instead of sounding like a typical annoying chick why don't you think before you act?

[diexico]

my wedding song!!!!

[MeHawddcore]

his wedding was last nighttt btw :D

[MeHawddcore]

My brotherr picked this song for the last songgg to dance with his wifee last night XDD i bet that made no sense (:

[markbooyah]

screw all the arguing over harmonicas.

This is a damn good song.

[archeonapollyon]

no one has done another version of this song. It's Dustin's song

[shroderpeanuts]

gataraddict you are one up tight mofo lol. all he did was tell you the harmonica is also called a harp and you lose it. man we need more people like you for people like me to laugh at. and billybush...hell yeah my friend...hell yeah

[badcharllotte427]

i dont think ive ever seen a band so musicaly inclinde as thrice is

[MrCephus21]

Thrice emo? What's your favorite band? Fallout Boy? Cuz they're frickin' hardcore, pushin the envelope of punk rock, right?

[mikuls911]

Thrice has never been close to emo, they were a hardcore band, hawthorne hieghts, armor for sleep these are emo bands. Look that shit up!

[thelennmeister]

Thrice is the best band of all time. Dustin is a genius.

[xmoralcrusadex]

Indeed.

[DiCola119]

Its hard to believe dustin has a history of playing more "emo" sytle music after you hear this lol.....great musician, i still dont understand why no one has heard of him

[shaolinfencer]

lawl Thrice isn't anywhere near emo....

[DiCola119]

their older stuff gets close

[shaolinfencer]

eh, i dunno....they're fency and not straight up

[KennyPowers23]

I absolutely love this song!

[misshope85]

i have such great memories with this song but its sad memories i love this song

[trehinoonagh]

im addicted to dis song!!!

[Negativecreep0]

sadly I am addicted to heroine and watching children play in parks........... sigh

[xmoralcrusadex]

....damn. I as well.

[Theory91]

I really want this song played at my wedding. Just amazing.

Dustin Kensrue is just an amazing musician. I would give my left leg to have half his talent.

[DiCola119]

I love this song but it kinda gets a bit repetitive

[choiechonga]

dustin kensrue is a true artist. i remember buying this cd and reading the liner notes before i listened to it and just knowing that it would be a great record. wish they would put it out on vinyl.

[MojoJojoMojo]

Well... the drum fill at the beginning is the same, and the drums are very similar I guess, but except that it's totally different.

[Spradley816]

Not really, why cause they both have harmonica? Dustin is clearly more talented and the song is faster. This is a better song in general.

[rockereb]

Has no one ever heard of Ryan Adams? His song "Come Pick me up" is almost identical, but it came out several years ago. the video is up on YOUTUBE give it a listen.

[billybush132]

They sound nothing alike. the only similarity is the harp intros.

[gataraddict]

Not to make fun, just letting you know it's a harmonica

[billybush132]

lol also not to make fun, but if you knew anything about music, you would know a harmonica is commonly referred to as a harp.

[gataraddict]

Excuse me? That sounds pretty bashing, just because I don't know every term for a single instrument doesn't mean that I'm musically uneducated. So if you're going to be so rude and arrogant you can go fuck yourself.

[billybush132]

wow, your so sensitive. calm down everything is going to be ok.

[tapout1357]

hahahahahahaha

[gataraddict]

All I was trying to do was help you out, don't be so fuckin arrogant. It's people like you that make this world a shitty place.

[billybush132]

right, its people like me. it couldn't have anything to do with the fucking crack heads, child molesters, rapists, corrupt politicians, or murderers. The truth is youtube isn't real life. Its a place someone can come and be a complete ass with no consequence. but you wouldn't know that im one of the nicest people you would ever meet, because on youtube i am a dick once in a while. it's a nice change from real life where the nice guy gets shit on all the time.

[gataraddict]

well that's your fault. so good luck with that

[kholowell]

I agree this sound is very similiar to Ryan Adams. However, only this song and not the entire disc sounds like Ryan.

[DiCola119]

thats amazing, Ive never heard a combo of folk, blues, country, and even a subtle bit of alternative in one mans voice before

[THEBRONXISBURNINGNYC]

This song song was my wedding song . Glad to see there is a video for it

[ablankforthemix]

10 bucks says they break up within a year...

[chadthyago]

they still together dumbass... its been 5 years with two daughters !!!

[caminator44]

@ablankforthemix still together. you owe me 10

[sarahlaura]

I love this song.

My boyfriend dedicated it to me.

It's an amazing song by an amazing singer.

[bukabukaa]

miłe dla ucha

(:

[emilydaniels84]

i <3 this song! love his raspy voice!

[sicklyandsweet]

I wish someone would serenade me with this song, I'd be blown away. Dustin is such a beautiful writer.

[fromearthtoash]

i love thrice but i can respect that one hundred percent bro.

[Dubhlais]

I personally don't like Thrice at all, they wouldn't be the first group of talented musicians to make bad music either. I wasn't saying they aren't talented, I just don't like their music poersonally at all. Kensrue's solo stuff is very cool though. I'm the Same way with Dallas Green, Alexisonfire sucks to me, but I really like his solo stuff. Just a difference in taste really.

[htcmusic]

i understand where your coming from, and i mean, you can say the same thing about dashboard, old vs. new. even though it's the same band. i'm personally not a fan of either aof or dallas green, but i love both thrice and d.k. it's really to each their own no?

[InToThEaIrWaVeS45678]

I used to kinda not like Thrice but I feel in love with Dustin's solo stuff and gave Thrice a chance and now I love them. But I totally understand where you're coming from.

[RobertoHurrello]

This is mental ! Dustin you ledge. same way as Dallas Green, sounds abit like David Gray.

[Dubhlais]

Really wish he'd quit that shit awful band he's in and focus on this solo stuff, because it's brilliant.

[frukn]

Thrice is awsome !

his solo stuff is diffrent, but ur right, its brilliant :)

[floydemz]

Shit awful band?! All of Thrice's material is written and produced by Dustin Kensrue along with his bandmates! Thrice is one of the most technical and diverse bands when it comes to genre and style! They have a range that very few bands in the indusrty can pull off. Teppei is a ridiculously talented guitar player, Ed is an amazing bassist and Riley's drumming is out of this world. Sounds like you're talking out of your ass a little bit there bud! Thrice is definitely one of the best in the bizz!

[Kayleecole21]

He has the most beautiful soul.

His lyrics take my breath away,

on his solo album and

with Thrice.

[mtorres2009]

i love that it's so different from Thrice...

Dustin can definitely make a living doing folky songs like this...

[unstableET]

this is the guy that sings thrice?

[kakeboy07]

yep

[GavinExclamation]

yep, he's the lead singer

[paulus1027]

Am I the only one who's reminded of Johnny Cash when watching this video?

[mtorres2009]

yeah. he's nothing like the man in black. but he's still great. good try though, kid.

[Supaduck0]

his thrice stuff owns cash

[appleinmyass]

People just don't talk like this anymore..... Gives me chills.

[atlchubbs]

totally agree and not only this song this whole album is amazing not a a bad song on the the whole thing

[lipman012]

This definantly my new favorite song, its me and my girlfriend perfectly

[ernnkev09]

this will be mine and my husbands first dance

[gutterscab]

One the greatest artist of his time hands down

[VinnyOwnZ]

Like his solo stuff way more than Thrice, even tho Thrice is really awesome too

[bgggbb]

This song is amazing!

[pandapenguin10]

yeah he does kinda sound like the modern day Johnny Cash. i love it though. his voice is amazing! johnny cash was good but this guy is just mind blowing whoa lol and Thrice is also awesome too

[SKISILENCER]

what ever he does is brilliant be it thrice or solo

[RECYCLEDTAMPON]

I had a dream I met him once... I was soooo sad when I realized it was just a dream! :(

[appleinmyass]

I met him..... ;-)

[Supaduck0]

i heard hes kinda shy?

[appleinmyass]

yea he is

[Supaduck0]

lol i wonder why considering hes played so many big stages etc

[mitchprotheroe]

He is a performer. Regardless of if you are shy socially he can still be very rambunctious on stage.

[Supaduck0]

lol rambunctious

[buuddyholly]

I shook that guys hand, changed my life

[goopipoopie]

what the heck... how come this vid dont got 50 mil veiws like the others?

[Trepanation21]

He's great. Thrice is great. They're all great and I hope they keep making great albums, because surely 10+ released albums isn't enough for me to last till I get old. All I know is there's some songs with these guys that I'll probably be humming to my kids someday when I'm back from Iraq.

[alltheweary]

is it just me, or does he feel like the new johnny cash? perhaps better?

[DixielandDrew]

Anyone know how to jam this on harmonica? I've been trying to learn it, but I'm not sure what key he plays...or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

[Sohfii]

Oh god, his voice...DAAAAMMMN<3

[mpc127]

This guy is very talented. He's great in Thrice too:)

[friguy0]

how is this guy not incredibly famous??!! great songwriter with a great voice

[XeeonTheSwift]

yeah I've been following him since First Impressions, and I don't get it either.

[theguitarfarmer]

It's because when people listen to his music you can't just sit there and let your mind die (unlike the music today). Also he doesn't sing about sex, butts, or drugs. He also plays more than three chords. And he is a Christian. All these things make him insta-unpopular.

[vanhalen1113]

musical genious

[iroxzz]

this will be played on my wedding day

[StraylightBayside]

I could literally try for years to write like this guy.

And with each passing minute of each passing day, I'd fail. Miserably.

He's that good.

[Gaim]

same here

[CkretCrx]

idk, maybe...someday...if i could..just...shake his hand...maybe

no. he's still too good lol

[NosidamHSU]

damn...play this for your woman, and she will ask you to marry her before the end of the third verse.
