Elbow - Grounds For Divorce on Jonathan Ross

[MassiveBalloonKnot]

that guitars sound could impregnate a dragon

[ColmIncendinall]

Steven Fry crossed with Ricky Gervais! Amazing band

[QuadCornProductions]

LEFT 4 DEAD YAY =).

[beardedgecko987]

he looks like stewart lee + charlie brooker + stephen fry. (Actually he doesn't there just the coolest people i could think of)

[keds11]

@FugWugInAMug Thanks Mate, but unfortunately I don't have an Android Phone, need to find someone who has one :P

[Plusto84]

Look at that pudding master bang the gong for dinner

[keds11]

Beautiful song, wonder if anyone knows where can I find the ringtone for it, especially from 1:21-1:40, just love the tune...

[FugWugInAMug]

@keds11 If you have an android phone there is a brilliant free app called 'Myxer' download the song with youtubetomp3 and use that to cut it, ts a ringtone maker and it is well worth it :) hope this helped :/

[hugo40598]

my fav part: 0:08 / 4:03

[jakeanthonyreynolds]

Screenwipe has changed.

[TheMagoo146]

As a recovering alchoholic i would have been so proud if i were able to write such truthful and honest words, seldom seen kid is my life and i am fortunate to have not lost, i do not believe that a cigarette tin would have covered the chosen lost years,grateful for elbow and there true gift, great storytellers and musicians...

[nevillejking]

Brilliant - what a voice, what a song!!!

[A10S1000]

DR HOUSE!

[ArcticEmmet]

Any songs you could recommended by them...I've not heard any others but have been told the other songs are sub-par compared to this

[piliage]

@ArcticEmmet The Bones of You is a Sublime song. I'd also highly suggest searching for the BBC live recording they did with the orchestra at Abby Road. Truly moving live performance of the entire album Seldom Seen Kid.

[JoeyThe14th]

0.02 understatement of the century!

[0208Charlotte]

This band sounds better live than on their albums. Love that

[mexr0ckerf0nz123]

FUCK. the nice calm part right before the chorus and then that FUCKING AWESOME DISTORTION COMES IN. NICE!!!!!

[Neodude991]

Love this song. great to play on bass too with a effect peddle or without. I play the verse on bass though just to do something!

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

1:56 I'd love to have that effect for my own bass.

[tozza7157]

@Theonewhoclimbs28 just add distortion. play it through a lead guitar amp.

[Theonewhoclimbs28]

@tozza7157 Thanks for the tip.

[crazyskaterforlife22]

wow they are sick live

[12345l6789]

never heard them before this. i remember sitting there like WHAT!

[azzz555]

they are great

[Jana74154]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa cooool!!!

[kailovesdogs]

miley n vanessa shuld learn sumthing... ;)

[boomerncheeze]

Francis:  I HATE THIS SONG

*throws molotov at stage*

[mayomayomayo]

1:20 That guitar sounds so DIRTY!

[SeethingGreen]

@mayomayomayo It's the combo of the distorted guitar and bass guitar. Sounds great.

[jonbonjoviham]

@SeethingGreen Guitar line is also harmonised an octave below, souds great indeed,

[SeethingGreen]

@jonbonjoviham Did not know that. But that totally makes sense that they'd do that. Thanks for the info, Jonbon.  Good stuff. How did you know that?

[jonbonjoviham]

@SeethingGreen Our band covered it, the lead guitarist told us, he didn't say where he found out but thats how he played it. I now love this band :$ I'll be getting the new album in march defo :P

[SeethingGreen]

@jonbonjoviham Oh they have another one coming out? What's the name of it?

[jonbonjoviham]

@SeethingGreen Yeh in march this year apparently, Build a rocket boys! exclamation mark included!

[SeethingGreen]

@jonbonjoviham Sweet! Will keep an eye out. Thanks again, bro.  I'm adding you.

[wideheadofknowledge]

Allentown!

[bullbounce2323]

thankyou elbow!

[DarkViIIain]

orgasm everytime that guitar kicks in

[rik1551]

damn it hears almost like the studio version only great bands do that great band!

[monkeyman913462]

he looks like steven fry :L

[Broonthebhoy]

@monkeyman913462 I think he looks like Matt Cardle 10 years from now...

[PuffMac]

@Broonthebhoy AND I THINK YOU LOOK LIKE SOMETHING I SHAT OUT

[birdman3120]

@monkeyman913462 He looks more like Charlie Brooker.

[PcGamingRig]

@monkeyman913462 or a chubby piers morgan.

[forestcat04]

@monkeyman913462 or Charlie Brooker : )

[rayonator500]

@monkeyman913462 crossed with charlie brooker... am i right?

[monkeyman913462]

@rayonator500 I'll stick with Stephen Fry ;)

[Domydoor]

@monkeyman913462 or johnny vegas :L

[Areyourealythatdumb]

@monkeyman913462 good thing ;)

[zonfredo]

@monkeyman913462 it's more like ricky gervais



[barretpaige14]

[Pawianxd]

And this is what I call a REAL MUSIC! Sounds great live.

[troymellor]

@Pawianxd leeds festival, amazing

[harlinator15]

wow, i didnt think it would sound better live than studio recorded.

[Wolszczak1188]

not bad but I think Godsamck is the best !!!!

[KiloHoplite]

@Wolszczak1188 lol not that I don't like Godsmack, but that is a wildly different genre of music! haha

[ben10Topgear]

love it

[18elliot18]

Such a huge sound. This is real music!

[glossopcrue]

Met these!

[MUNZ3L]

Chipmunk version of this song on my Channel

[UpiLArSiotZ]

Genius song by a genius band.

[madmanswhispers]

i no their crAZY GOOD LIVE, i wanna c them live

[Dasheeznit69]

Its amazing how they sound exactly like the actually song even without all the studio editing and such

[shishkebab0dude666]

they are awesome live

[aslennon12]

This is a beast of a song.

[zonnebril1000]

amazing one of the best bands

[funnights74]

12 thumbs down, r they retarded r what?

[jimshady13]

@funnights74 says the person who cant type?

[McNSharp22]

Radiohead, pretentious?! Please, just think about what you have just said

[SilverdaleDubs]

Love the fucked-up old school sound of this!!

[Pokerking4128]

best live that i saw

[michaellovesthecat]

I love elbow angry shit

[oliversenord]

Why are people having a dig at Radiohead, anyway Elbow rock love this song. Hope the next album comes out before the fall of 2010.

[UnfortunatePenguin]

yay, everyone gets cake!

[bobbyhayes111]

amazing

[MatthewDawson1990]

Elbow - best band of the 21st Century so far. They're not sell outs like Kigns of Leon or pretentious like Radiohead. They're just perfect.

[172superman172]

Kol- Yes

Radiohead- No

2 reasons: Radiohead arent new to the 21st centuary :)

And are possibly the best musicians ever

influencing elbow

[HaggisnNeeps]

lol Best musicians ever? Have you Listened to Bach/Beethoven et al.

Im a Radiohead fan, but they are Pretentious. Note the capital P.

I agree though - they are influencing music now...however Elbow have been playing for just as long as them so please dont disregard Elbow as some new phenomenon because Seldom Seen Kid is a work of art.

Cheers

[TheConspicuousCookie]

@HaggisnNeeps

Alright.

Firstly, Radiohead are one of the least pretentious bands that spawned from the brit pop era.

Secondly, Elbow playing as long as Radiohead?, no.

Thirdly, Yes seldom seen kid is -good-, but thats it, no true fan would say Seldom Seen Kid is the best, Asleep in the back (the first album) is miles ahead of this crowd pleasing album.

Footnote. Massive fan of both, yes I like this new album. ... etc.

[Cheboh]

Don't you mean Grounds for Divorce.

[matiancai74]

@TheConspicuousCookie Agree about the the intent to create a *slightly* more commercial album in Seldom Seen Kid. I personally despise 'One Day Like This' - it's a travesty that it replaced 'Grace Under Pressure' in their live set. However, last time I saw them live about a year ago, they played a real mix of the new stuff and old, to please everyone. They played 'Any Day Now', and only me and a handful of others recognised it...it was fantastic.

[TheConspicuousCookie]

Wholly agree on "one day like this". I missed my chance to see them live two years ago, it's good to hear they still play the old ones. My oldies said they played mostly songs off "Asleep in the back" and "Cast of thousands", using large drum things for Presuming Ed. I Need to see them one day :D.

[CharlieABarker]

Yeah, if only their songs were better.

[Salierethefish]

@MatthewDawson1990 Them and Gorillaz.

[kraidlike]

true that man

[Tahkayun]

@MatthewDawson1990 There is no best band mate. Nominate it for your personal top pick instead.

[Deathder]

@MatthewDawson1990 and they are British!!! :D

[culturevulture123]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this song its amazing!!!!!! And is that Agyness Deyn at the start there? That's just more awesome!

[RickRick13]

When I was growing up, the supermodels were people like Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer... Agyness Deyn? Do me a favour. A supermodel for the Big Brother Generation... thank God for Elbow, to remind us that culture and creativity isn't completely rancid and decrepit...

[offspringrlegendjd]

lol i got this song from DiRT 2 haha but yeah i love the song

[L4DMaster3]

this song is also a l4d (left 4 dead) theme ^^

[offspringrlegendjd]

omg it is as well haha never noticed

[HostileFilm]

Great song, and I have to say sounds amazing LIVE.

[freterollai]

Guy's vocals seem a lot less smooth live but other than that i think it was better live than in the radio edit :D

[tvrulesnation]

i actually just got kicked out of Coldplays concert today (elbow supporting) for trying to sneak in to see elbow, me and loada randomers just camped outside in the park listening to them they were unreal

[tvrulesnation]

this was the first time i saw elbow, hahi remember i had to pay 25 euro to order their album in, i thought they were unreal

looking back through random albums i got one of them had ''Forget Myself'' that was 5 years ago i used to love that song, i should be a fan of them for 5 years but nope silly old me chose to listen to other music first and elbow last

[Pinchysandcrab]

This Always ROCKS!

[scotchqueen]

can't wait to see em in manchester next month ^-^

[enidscrew]

y listen 2 shite blink 182 whuze onli attraction is the drummer. u need 2 listen 2 more elbow

[nintendocrew]

really pissed off, ive heard this before on tv trailers and wot not, found out what it is on the V festival, i go buy it on itunes, seeing as all the 20 sec samples are shit for trying to work out if it has the guitar in it, i end up buying the one with a fucking trumpet or whatever in it, sounds fucking awfull, solo is ruined

[foxycleox]

love it

[jimbobjimminy]

Funnily enough, this is the only Elbow song I actually have sat up and appreciated.

Maybe I need to look properly at some of their other stuff... I just tend to dismiss them and Kasabian especially.

[Cypher152]

"Everyone gets cake" lol

[snappypappy1871]

Elbow's attraction comes from their stunning melodies and emotive lyrics. They find getting a mood across very easy

[blink182loverbustedh]

elbow suck ass blink 182 aerosmith and the offspring have more talent than them

[CB836]

no, blnk182 suck balls, hardly music, just some guys who can play guitars, and not very well, elbow is pure music, sounds decent and sounds awesum. if you dont like then dont watch it !

[blink182loverbustedh]

nono blink 182 can play guitar its harder to play a blink 182 song than a bloody elbow song grounds for divorce is a piss easy song 2 play

[alexs1422]

OOOHH LOOK AT ME I can play power chords moderately fast and sing like a whiny 13 year old bitch. I can start a band just like my hereos in Blink-182!

[blink182loverbustedh]

shut up mr no taste in exciting and talented music and blink 182 def leppard asia zebrahead army of freshmen are hell alot better than elbow and theyre not all whiny singers so u can go be a boring piece of shit

[alexs1422]

Def Leppard? Asia? Why do you listen to music you've heard so many times before? Try something new! And please, don't tell me they are more talented. They can play fast solos. I'm sure Mark Potter could as well, but he, like the best guitarists around, realized that guitar isn't about playing really fast, its not guitar olympics, its about supporting the band, finding its place in the song. Guitar Olympics died in the 80's. Now is the age of guitarists actually being part of the band

[blink182loverbustedh]

because its true music and for ur info i do listen 2 new music like the killers glasvegas i have a wide taste in punk rock and metal so thats u made a pointless comment

[JamesBlaec]

wow so true, I never realized that. But for me guitar Olympics were the 90's, I was born in 89 so I would've been crushed by the weight of a guitar in the 80's :D

[gullivera]

Trouble is, a lot of the new stuff is just regurgitation of stuff already done, you may get the odd flash of brilliance here and there, like Elbow, Muse (Although even they have gone downhill a bit since becoming so massive IMO), Smashing Pumpkins etc, but a lot of it just sounds the same.

I like some new stuff, but I am at heart a fan of the masters before my time, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Tom Waites, the Stones, Bowie etc.

[donalniger]

if your a fan of masters before your time and you mentioned johhny cash and elvis why didnt you mention richie valens buddy holly and the big bopper??

[gullivera]

Because there is a limit to how much you can write in a post, hence the etc at the end. ;-)

[IzzBizz96]

still sounds better than "nono blink 182" :D

[daffydub]

lol blink 182 isn't all that hard, try listening to

only ash remains by necrophagist, if your trying to determine goodness of a song by guitar skill. and im not dissing any of these 3 bands because i used to really like B182 but songs cant just be determined how good they are by how difficult the riffs are.

[enidscrew]

y r u a blink 182 fan their riffs r shit

[enidscrew]

bet u cant play it. and blink 182 is wots called shitrock

[gullivera]

Well.... You know... That's like.... Your opinion man...

To be honest though, its pointless to compare the bands you listed to Elbow, whether they're better or not is irrelevant because they're completely different genres.

[blink182loverbustedh]

ok thats fair enough

[gullivera]

Search "Elbow- One Day Like This BBC concert orchestra" in fact, check out the whole BBC conert orchestra gig they did, its all on YT, and you may get a better idea of why their music is so beatiful, I also recommend the tracks "Mirrorball" and "Some Riot" too.

[gullivera]

Beautiful I meant.

All I'm doing is giving you a taste of something different, its good to try new things.

And no, I'm not gay, I just appreciate beauty. If anyone feels that that makes them gay (In a derogative sense) then.... They have my pity.

Seriously though, check them out, you never know you might, shock horror... Like them.

[gullivera]

Beautiful, not beatiful.

You.... not "u".

Note that at no point have I insulted you either my friend. There seems to be a lot of pent up anger in u.... Sorry, you.

Anyway, I'm done here, I can't say I expected much more from the youtube comments area.

[blink182loverbustedh]

ok sorry i appologise for that sorry for gettin carried away

[frogswallop]

I'd believe your statement, if only you could spell.

[lolgal4]

Go listen 2 Tinsy Strider and all ur ova crap that u call music. U bastard

[IzzBizz96]

I Completly Agree (Y) !!

[AnaraneSeragone]

They ROCKED Atlanta, Georgia!!! 2 HOURS of the best live music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing! :) If you have the opportunity to see them live - DO IT!!!!!

[skeipie]

I LOVE THIS.

[jamesp460]

[McFaul20]

[FreakySalamander]

this is a great song!! a bit surprised that they're so "mature" looking but hey, whatever!! :D :p

[antisnotabug]

The sound of this song is just amazing. And I'll give props to any man who can rock out on a washer.

[TheMan0106]

Awesome song!

[henrikrathje]

OH MY GOD! One of the best songs I've heard in a LOOONG time

[mce161]

Proudofthebrave's comment - Your soul must be lost if the seldom seen kid does nothing for your life......

[proudofthebrave]

I think this track is outstanding, it's so good.! Have to admit was a bit disappointed with the rest of the album though. They should stick to this stuff!

[anzonix]

Left 4 Dead theme

[Kozzer27]

great song

but shit band name elbow :P

[konichiwamonsta]

First you get the fist and then you get the elbow - its a good name if you understand :)

[Lesley1000]

hello. disgusting more like. if im thinking right!

[chailizard]

Oh I get it

[sabrin321]

hence, the grounds for divorce :)

[danieleliasson19]

Exactly, great song. shit band named elbow :P

[scotchqueen]

They're named after a line in The Singing Detective being that the word "elbow" is the most sensuous word in the English language, not for its definition, but for how it feels to say it.

[Chachewie]

I love love love this song his vocals are amazing

[gidoon]

Great song, they should play the instrumental part longer.

[ultraringo]

Great song, reminds me of 60's Cream...

[Egzo911]

BTW . This music is just PERFECT!! 6 stars

[chriswewe]

i have uplaoded a much better version, have a look in my videos or

watch?v=RWNAJAW9OfQ

[zoomzoomp]

[bassthing26]

perfect music.

[thepopemobile97]

This really works! Trust me!

1. Cover your mouth with your hand

2. Make a wish into it

3. Close your hand into a fist

4. Hold your fist to your heart for4 -5 seconds

5. Send to 3 more videos

6. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life

(Just do not wish for an unicorn or something like that

[Egzo911]

:D I wish you dead :D

[fordsta27]

elbow are amazing!

one of the most diverse band i can think of. Oh and so called talent isn't how fast you can shred its how well you can express feelings and emotion through instrument after all music is a form of art

what would you rather have on ur wall the highest quality digital photograph (dragonforce) or a painting by da vinci (elbow)

[sykojme]

fordsta stfu and take your preaching somewhere else

[blink182loverbustedh]

[AcnDm]
