Less Than Jake - Gainesville Rock City

[rensbitterhalf]

when I thing of Gainesville this is what I think of :D not that twat with his racist little church of inbreeds who seem intent on bringing on another world war

[PunksInVegas]

This was the very first LTJ song I ever heard when I was 12. I'm 21 now and this still remains one of my favourite LTJ songs.

[ffsnoob]

0:32 to 1:10 reminds me of doom95 music hehe :)

[ihatewebkinz1234]

im only 13 but this song reminds me of the good old days wen i was 10 this was my first real favoirite band

[GuitarCaley182]

Seeing these guys in november. I was originally only going cos Zebrahead were playing but when it was announced they'd be supporting ltj i pretty much came in my pants.

[jstew345]

this guys Know how to party I should KNow Ive hung out with back in 2002 before they got big! Chris "the singer is so down to earth"

[EngineGoes]

they rock

[RHCPunkRockGirl]

less than jake is amazing.

one of my favorites to listen to, at the moment.

[big0ginge]

these guys remind me of smashmouth mixed with bowling for soup mixed with NOFX.... wierd stuff....

[EatYerDamnWheaties]

@big0ginge Man I don't want to be a music snob or anything.... but please don't ever put NOFX or LTJ in the same sentence as those two other bands ever again. I only ask this because reading that sentence made me vomit up my lungs, intestines, and possibly a portion of my prostate. I think I need to go to the emergency room...

[kalikovisionmaster]

@EatYerDamnWheaties good man

[big0ginge]

@EatYerDamnWheaties okay. nofx is a punk band with a shit load of ska songs. if you listen to this song, you would probably notice that it is ska AND that it is influenced by pop punk, hence the 'smashmout, bowling for soup' reference. im not saying these guys are as good as NOFX or even that they sound anything like nofx.

[OffTheWallGaming]

@big0ginge Fuck you, Less Than Jake is Less Than jake. I can see NOFX becuase nofx are badass, but are you fucking kidding me??? Smashmouth and Bowling For Soup?????? THOSE BANDS ARE ASS. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU GET ALL YOUR MUSIC FROM THE DISNEY CHANNEL YOU DICK????

[big0ginge]

@OffTheWallGaming hey man FUCK YOU i was makin a fuckin joke. theyre fuckin beach music and they sound like fuckin beach music! of course theyre not acctually gonna sound like a complete mixture of 2 bands. and whats this 'disney channel' shit? first: i dont listen to smashmouth OR bowling for soup. i was refering to the fact that they sound popier then most punk influenced ska! before makin an ass of yourself think of whats being said!

[OffTheWallGaming]

@big0ginge Rofl, this sounds nothing like "beach music", it seems you're the one making an ass of himself considering you know nothing about less than jake. Besides how the fuck am i supposed to tell you are being sarcastic through text you fucking moron? Yeah, i can you fucking idiot. Get the fuck out of here with your bowling for soup shit you cunt.

[big0ginge]

@OffTheWallGaming  last i checked ska is in fact often associated with beach music.

[OffTheWallGaming]

@big0ginge You're a fucking idiot kid! Beach music is like the fucking Beach Boys, i'm pretty shure they aren't ska and or have a horn section. I have never once heard ska called "beach music" You're one sorry bastard. Btw, There aren't many beaches in Gainesville you fucking idiot! Lmao, a "beach music" band from a place that doesn't have beaches, That makes fucking sense.

[big0ginge]

@OffTheWallGaming alright man, u got me. shoulda specified. anyways, i left that original comment quite a while and i can see why u took it the wrong way. imma nd this now so the good people of youtube can get back to commenting

[Nazuiko]

Still say Yukari Yakumo secretly wrote this song. Or at least helped with the album, judging by the album title. *Suspicious*

[dazer45]

Ahhh reminds me of my teenage years, skating, smoking and no care in the world :D

[wagbonetti]

Saudades de ouvir essas cosias...

[srhmusic13]

Tom Petty

One of the members of The Eagles

Sister Hazel

Just to name a few.

[thefulmenater]

these guys used to work at knuckleheads headshop in the mid 90's. Me and my friends used to buy cigarettes and whipits from them cause they never carded us. GOOD TIMES

[takingBackWhatsMine]

I JUST GOT A MASSIVE ERECTION

[dexterridevespa]

[70alt1]

To Gainsevillites- i have met Tim Tebow. Bask in my glory.

[rageagainstboxhead]

after listening to this song I went to Gainsville, and on my way I listened to this song

[hypershadow2121]

so good like !

[manongod]

sounds like a machete smashing through a babies skull

[Amdragongld]

My favorite part about this video is, living in Gainesville currently, I have been to some of these places. Like Gator Beverage at 1:14, thats right next to where I used to live. or the record store at 1:54, if thats the one I think it is, I used to go there for my records and such too.

[Janusduo]

@Amdragongld Which record store is it? It looks a bit like Wayward council. I know that Smoke no longer exists though the building is still there by Subway on Uni Ave. Gator Beverage is still there as well. Plaza is obvious, I think they tore down that sign though. Anyone know where any of the other things/places are?

[fiftyfade]

Nervous in the Alley Alley, haha that's awesome!

[TheMactools]

Gainesville 4 ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[filipe23x]

[JustMe3491]

[zwanmoretime]

I cant be unhappy when I listen to anything by LTJ. I have nearly died of exhaustion each time I have seen them cause you can not help but jump around. Oh and by this I mean when they are playing their music not just seeing them cause if I danced when I just saw them that would be a little strange.

[themanbearpig420]

[sktterd]

Reminds me of home :)

[lost1230]

[tinn711]

D:

[BLlewhe]

Yupyup. :DD

[nickelbacknr1fan]

yes they do! oh my god lol

[HurricaneRuler]

rofl yes

[FlavioOiBr]

great music \0/

[fexey]

intro is just great, like the whole song! can someone tell me a few more songs that are similar to this one:)?

[Covjitsuka]

For an intro to ska punk look up less than jake, reel big fish, some Goldfinger, save ferris, and for the love of god make sure you check out the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Just avoid less than jakes later stuff if you like the horns... theyve pretty much phased them out...

[Buckeyefan86]

nah, they're new album has a ton of horns

[BallBusterful]

Science of selling yourself short, All my best friends are metal heads, Plastic cup politics...wait no... all less than jake is amazing

[fexey]

thanks covjitska & ballbusterfull, i already know all these band and song you two metioned. i was kinda hopping if someone would tell me not so known skapunk band from 90's, but still, thanks:)

[hgeyer99]

ever hear of Mustard Plug, Cake, Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, Big D and the Kids Table, Streetlight Manifesto

[psymon2005]

"worst" record is probably in with the out crowd, but even that's still good.

[BallBusterful]

exactly.. there unreal

[psymon2005]

Indeed!!!!!!!

[yairoka]

the rasta singer always looks so friendly and happy. some idol :O

[dane4free]

what

[yairoka]

the singer looks friendly that's what i was going to say

[TheFrigginCheat]

rasta singer? he's white, just has dreds. aha

[yairoka]

the hair is called rasta i thought

[TheFrigginCheat]

rasta is short for Rastafarian, which is a relgious movement in short. Alot of people that follow it do have that hair, but the hair style is called dreadlocks or dreads for short.

[yairoka]

oh ok, thanks

[wblakefield1]

Always thought this was the best album.

[mattatack9969]

Me too.

This and Losing Streak.

[savelove]

I love roger so much!

i saw them at warped and asked him straight up if i could bite his neck, he freaked out and said no and then wouldn't stand next to me for a picture

haha it was funny

Buddy is so kickass too, hes definatly got the most energy.

[sociallooter]

I asked the bassist from no use 4 a name if he wanted some of my granola from my pocket...He said " whay dont you get the fuck otta here." latter he came up to me a said i was just fucking with you...i was like yeah right.

[Giablo1]
