  • Best version on youtube on this great song....one great band....come back to Ottawa boys.....gotta see ya's live again..seen you play with Bachman-Turner last Spring at the NAC....great show!

  • Makes me laugh when people say their playing is simple and sloppy. Well guess what folks THAT is just straight up rock and roll. Why must everything be so complex. There is a time for Rush, Tool or Mars Volta. But when you are at the cottage, or at the back yard BBQ, THIS my friends is what gets the party going!

  • why is it that they show everyone except the lead guitar during the solo?

  • god why are these guys soo fucking cool XD anyways got to show some love for project runway for introducing me to them

  • absolutely love these guys. I met them all last week and they are the most down to earth guys ever. All of them were so humble. Their recent success hasn't gone to their heads at all, just doing it because they love it. one of the best in a while.

  • whom*

  • @koolaidyeti come on cant even type out Kings of Leon to hard on your fingers or just that lazy... and your ramblings are void after you say sorry at the end.... TOOL

  • @loveislouder  shows how far out of the loop you are, rap and pop have turned into dance/techno/dubstep, get your facts straight before you open your mouth

  • Canadians still produce good music, not just beiber shyte!

    Cheers for the Sheepdogs for still having soul

    can't wait to see them in Cowtown on Dec 18 !

  • I had such an urge to stand up and slap them...but then I realized i was only slapping my computer T.T (Sorry had to)

    Yuck. This kind of show gets way too cliche for me. I'm fine with rehashing old stuff but this isn't even creative. It's like the lyricist is stuck in philosophical tunnel vision...I mean it's not like I was expecting Chomsky or anything, but come on. Can't we move on from this sort of thing? Thanks Atlantic for bringing this one to my attention. I will be forgetting it now k thx

  • i had such an urge to stand up and clap at the end of this.. but then i realized i was only clapping at my computer T.T

    the music is so.. deep, though, and it feels... tangible, almost.

  • I could play drums better than this dude, and I don't even play drums.

  • You guys say this band are the best band in 20 years and the next Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, etc., and as good as the rest of bands out of Canada like Rush, the Guess Who. BTO, etc. etc. but in reality they are so unoriginal, simplistic, and best can be described as, 'Garagebandish'. This song here is so boring and unoriginal I can't even listed to more than 15 seconds of it. I just finished listening to some 38 Special Live here on You Tube, and when I put on this I cringed it was so boring.

  • @ASurvivor1 Your need to be entertained and dazzled every second isn't allowing you the oppurtunity to relax and listen to a good band lay down some classic rock inpsired tracks. Isn't tinkering with something to make it sound original kind of futile?

  • Look at that bass set up :D AMpeg svt and an 810 cab with a rickenbacker 4003.....My dream bass set up:D

  • @MoPower2112 Yeah. Nice Bass Setup!! Too bad the guy plays like he's been playing only a couple of months.

  • @ASurvivor1 not at all, listen to their "how late how long" from rolling stone youtube page. Its a pretty funky bass line

  • @MoPower2112 You're kidding right. Not only was that, 'How Late How Long' Bass part simplistic as shit, it was  just as sloppy,

  • @ASurvivor1 ok, we could argue whether hes any good or not, but i think we can bot agree on the fact that a rick and ampeg are a killer combination :D

  • @MoPower2112 Yes. I had a 1976 4001 Rick and sold it in '79 to buy a '73 Fender P Bass. I just bought a new Ricky 4003 Mapleglo brand new from Musician's Friend for $1006. Can you believe that deal? I still have the '73 Fender P, AND a 1964 Fender Custom Shop Jazz Relic, but I've been playing the Rick all the time now. I run it through an Ampeg SVT-15E and an Avatar B212 powered by a GK Fusion 550. It sounds so awesome.

  • @ASurvivor1 thats sounds awsome, im still a young musican playing fender's classic 70's jazz bass through a small peavy amp

  • @darkwriter101 dont want you writer bohemian hipsters listening shit that should be exclusivelyt for stoners and real lovers of music and if you like project runway you are obviously a pathetic waste of life that puts money and fame in the wrong hands... dont care they are getting faamous its marketing to the wrong crowd that listen to modest mouse kings of leon dont want them turning mainstream you fucking hipster doofus........packit

  • @packit420420 Blah blah hipster gunna hipster, hatester gunna hatester... yeah I think we've all heard it before. Just by your "real lovers of music" statement I find myself questioning what a real lover of music is? Anyway, please consider looking at what you're really trying to say here (elitist much?) and try to realize that it's stupid. BTW on the subject of stoners, you have obviously never listened to Modest Mouse-Dramamine. And KoL I don't care much for tbh. Sorry, I just had to respond.

  • I like these guys, kinda like the Jeff Heally band I think,not quite the talent on lead guitar but soundwise I would like to here them do" Angel come down" I think they could seriously play with that! great band from God's country

  • Regardless of who these boys are compared to, they're awesome and they're from my hometown. Even better. :)

  • Why are you watching Project Runway????Maybe im listening to the wrong band if you guys are able to sit there and watch that shit and now your listening to Sheepdogs???? I hate how the people io hate end up finding about bands i like,,,LAME hop off the band wagon and go listen to your modern day bull shit like Kings of Leon.. tools....Packit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @packit420420

    You hate people finding out about bands you like? You are the biggest hipster I have ever come across. Y oudon't own them. Others are allowed to listen to them. Besides, whats wrong with them getting publicity from Project Runway? Now their name will get out there even more, and they could really hit it big. And that's what a great band like this deserves. If you were a true fan, you wouldn't care who listened to them. Youd just be happy that they've gotten the fame they deserve.

  • ohhhh... I LIKE. (=

  • @qwertyroffle hahahah shutup. they can bring back any music they want. maybe they dont wanna listen to the shitty rap and pop songs people been playing now a days. get out of here. dont comment if your gonna hate. go sheepdogs.

  • Please come to Germany!!!

  • Gay CSI Las Vegas brought me here. Worked out. Thanks old man show!!

  • Just saw these guys for the first time - they opened for KOL... and they rocked!

  • its about time some good music entered the 2000's,  60's REVIVAL!! keep the bad ass CCR-Burton Cummings-Lynyrd Skynyrd style alive!!!

  • Heard the song "I don't know " for the first time today on the radio in halifax ....These guys fucking rock man!!! Nice to hear some new musicians that actually play instruments and still have that classic rock sound!! I will be buying there cd tomorrow!!

  • love it, saw them on project runway

    

  • first hear of them on project runway and loved their sound.....also heard them on CSI.....AWESOME!!

  • my brother is in this band!!!!!!!!!!! been hearing them for 7 years. finally they get a shot! hope they go far. rock on broda

  • @qwertyroffle Wow. Are you bitter about something?

  • @qwertyroffle You're an idiot. The 'new creation' you call most of current music would have been laughed at in the 70's. I'm 25 but I can guarantee these guys would have been looked at. I'm not saying we have the next Led Zeppelin on our hands, but god damn they're so much better than any crap you may be referencing. Heaven forbid new artists learn to play instruments, write good songs and have a good sound. Rather than letting a computer generate it for them.

  • @CanadianBacon2009

    The next zepplin? hardly...maybe the next Bad Company..not saying it as a bad thing..this band rocks! it's about time harmony and melody got back into rock..I say these dudes fit the bill nicely

  • @Insibiat No I wasn't saying they're the next Zep. We're both agreeing this is a great new band to listen to; so that's a good thing.  But I was careful to not proclaim them to be the next anybody, just themselves.

  • @qwertyroffle hahaha you are such a loser. maybe read up a bit on them, even if as far as you get is the article in the rolling stone. these guys have worked their asses off to get to where they are, they've been playing music their entire lives and as a band together for years. i'd love to say more but you're just not worth it haha

  • Thumbs up if you were cool and heard of The Sheepdogs BEFORE Project Runway!

  • These guys are putting the rock in rock and roll. Im right here supporting their rocking asses

  • Sheepdogs~you guys are so darn fine!!  Loving the look and sound of the 70's!

  • They are really rockin the 70' s look and sound! Love them~they are so fine!!!!!

  • I hear that StyleEt...it was CCR with my Dad...he taught me what real music was..I can't wait to turn him onto this!

    Apparently they were on Project Runway..good on them... I never saw it..first I heard was on my local radio 94X out of Prince George BC...I guess "I Don't Know" is starting to break...I heard that and wanted more though..started searching all I could about The Sheepdogs..YEAH!

  • Comment removed

  • Best new band I've heard in ages- who cares I found them on project runway. I was having some "mommy" time. Most new bands suck but not these guys I love the classic rock blues feel

  • I really like how despite the fact that a lot pf ppl saw em on project runway(me too!) no long time fans are getting pissy about it.Like it does not matter where you hear it so long as you recognize the awesome music when you do.Every fan has to start somewhere and who gives a shit if you heard them by accident,through a friend,because of a commercial,or because of a tv show/movie.I think that it is awesome so many ppl realize good music when they hear it and I think that should be celebrated

  • I think you guys are so good! i love your style!! amazing!!! <3 i saw you on project runway and i had to look you up! i am def gonna look more into you guys!! :D you have amazingg voices and are very talented!

  • Saw the Sheepdogs on Project Runway! They are fabulous. Reminds me of the Classic Rock I know and love. Best Band I have heard in a long time!

  • love this fucking song........

  • the lead singer is so sexy!!!

  • Thumbs up if Project Runway brought you here

  • @Sibuna4EverLovers I did NOT like Ewan pigtail braids....just for the record! 

  • who would ever have thought that project runway which I also love would havew educated me sbout this band...guys you are the real deal

  • Saw them on Project Runway last night...Never heard of them before, but damn they sound great!

  • they were on "the project runway show" n' I loved'em

  • Just saw these guys on Project Runway~so glad I did! They are awesome! :D

  • @misslantana52 thats why im here too

  • ewan currie you are good. I really hope this band has the initiative, intuitiveness, and wherewithall to keep developing what they're doing. God knows we need them! 6-7 years of touring and not being signed is a pretty good demonstration of determination. I don't know where these guys are at the moment, i really hope the Rolling Stone thing did some things for them.

  • reminds me of led zep a bit rock on sheepdogs

  • When you must pick and CHOO-OO-WOO-WOO-WOOZ!

  • Just had the pleasure of seing these cool cats live. FUCKING BRILLIANT.

  • woooooowwwwww amaizing sound fuckers , kkep on rockin Sheepdogs , kick the ass of new R&B and all new music..

  • dont they sound alot like steppenwolf? with some ccr, maybe some eagles, and a little steve miller band

  • just read the Rolling Stone album,sounds like a good day in a shitty place.Showem whats up SHEEPDOGS!FROM WIS.

  • It is quite obvious why these boys won the Rolling Stone Cover Contest....Ryan the girls have always been at the door knocking and Ewan, your voice is for me totally comparable to Mark Lanegan...Like an angel singing!!!! Love you guys...Keep rocking!!!! Will be at every show that is close by!

  • Best new band I've heard in a while!

  • 3 people are dumb!

  • @Kammmyyyy fuck you bitch

  • Comment removed

  • @RANDOMPUBES69 ... I never knew having a different taste in music made someone a bitch. Wow, you learn something new everyday :D!

  • The Sheepdogs in Big Suds Tonight!

  • just read this article, this band is the fucking shit and hope they(Currie) keeps on rolling joints straight to the top of the charts

  • @hottotts30 Let me get this straight...You think the Sheep Dogs are a shit band???

  • @conmaesta are you dense?? no they are incredible, as in "The Shit" or "the best". Good even

  • Nice article in 8/18/11 Rolling Stone Magazine! Good Tune! Roll one up!

  • SHEEPDOGS!!!!!!!!11

  • Here's what's interesting about the Sheepdogs: they're a Canadian band that sounds a lot like they're from the southern US - you might recall "The Band", another Canadian band that sounded like they came from the south. Also, they happen to sound a lot like the Guess Who, a band from another prairie province (Manitoba), who wrote a song called "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon" in the early 70's. The Sheepdogs happen to be from Saskatoon.

  • @maxtaffey and at the saskatoon jazz festival they did a live cover of it as an encore. one of the best concerts ive ever been to.

  • @maxtaffey That's not really that interesting!

  • @wakaw07 I know! :D

  • This is the first song I've heard of theirs. For me, the harmonies make me wanna listen. Good standard southern rock anthem with a badass harmony. The backing vocalist deserves mad props for being the sheepdogs' mike anthony.

  • good job guys, keep it up,,,

  • It's good to see a band like that all most everyone sports a beard. Second, it's good change to see a band that isn't from New York or Los Angeles, but from Saskatoon. I raise my devil horns to you Sheepdogs. Hail from Russia!

  • Who, Who do you beat off too?

  • whom*

  • These guys are on the right track to how music should sound today. All we need is to bring it back, and let people appreciate it again.

  • I saw these guys live like two weeks ago they played this first and 'I Don't Know' plus another song... They were awesome!!!!

  • lol @ a shampoo company sponsor

  • @rancor58 That's funny as shit.

  • fantastici!!!!!!!

  • Toby Keith headlined Dauphin Countryfest but tese guys were there too. saw them instead. these guys are the real deal

  • I haven't been this excited about new music for years, years, years!!!!! I love these guys. Of course, I'm an Allman Brothers', CCR, Lynard Skynard, Dead, Guess Who fan....so sweet....in the face of the shit that is our shit society of American Idol....xo

  • why does it seem like i know the lead singer.. damn this has gotten me crazy for the last 4 months!

    maybe it was from a local show.

    i sure wish someone would upload 'Ohio' ಠ_ಠ

  • CANADA ROCKS

  • yeah, I really only love classic rock and I have yet to hear a new band sound so authentic.. until now

  • holy shit! Heard these guys for the first time yesterday from SW Ontario, and just had to youtube them. They fucking ROCK! They are exactly what I've been waiting, and waiting for, for fucking years man!

    Folk from the prairies know how to rock out! Fuck yeah now where to I buy their album :) \m/

  • they sound exactly like the guess who lol killer sound

  • I was 13 when the 70s came to an end, but the 80s never resonated with me. I've listened to 70s rock from childhood to present day. I never expected to hear a

    convincing revival like the Sheepdogs What a blast !

  • Won guests passes for Sausagefest '11 to see these guys! Can't go though </3

  • @RealCanadianBassist Amazing that you decided to make this comment. See, I don't know you, so I couldn't care less whether you can go or not. Weird how that works, huh?

  • Growing up as a kid, I never appreciated the musical taste of my father. The talent, the style, the groove, the SOUND. But as Ive grown older, matured, and come into my own, Ive realized what music WAS back then and IS right now. I now appreciate the sheer presence of a band like the Sheepdogs because it brings me closer to him. Whether were in the car with the Stones at full volume or drinking beers in the backyard with the Doobie Brothers blarin, my infinite taste for classic rock isdue to him

  • @StyleEtiquette89 know exactly what you mean brother!

  • I think the singer is Jim Morrison's offspring

  • Just got my monthly dose of RollingStone yesterday...all I can say is Canadians ROCK!!! Im a Michigander myself and my Husband is pure Canadian....Stuck in the 70s?...When did 70s music ever end? Never!!!!!!!ROCK ON SHEEPDOGS!

  • hey i was just readen bout them in rolling stones!

  • @footballluver132 wow. that's really interesting.  Thanks for letting the world know.

  • HOT!

  • Live tonite fuck ya!!!!!

  • Saskatchewan sucks but the Sheepdogs rock!!

  • @ImaJosha how about Arcade Fire? We've got dozens of famous bands and musicians. Canada is number one in the music world, easily.

  • @ImaJosha They have Rush. 'Nuff said.

  • @zghost damn, i didnt even know they had rush too, fuck.

  • @zghost SO TRUE!
