Blur - Blue jeans

[AllaNamnUpptagnaJu]

Lovley song, i don't understand how he/they can make such a song.... It's funny, they make it quickie in the end!

[Marcoshary]

Modern Life is Rubbish is my favorite album from Blur.

[Chewyfied]

My favourite band ever is Metallica... Modern life is rubbish remains my favourite album of all time.

[saintlysimon]

@Chewyfied Bull shit. Metallica are FUCKING TERRIBLE. Like you, and all the things you represent. Cunt hole.

[Chewyfied]

@saintlysimon Wow, you're so cultured. And you want to knock on about being a cock bag, you following me around making comments under mine... what a fucking sad loser you are lol.

[bindestreck]

Beetlebum, you may have the coolest name on youtube. Congratulations.

[pickelsandwich]

Most nostalgic Blur song of em all!

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

This song by Blur is a fry cry different and slower than their big big hit Song 2. I guess I can consider this a love song, even Poison had a love song, Backstreet Boys had many. How did they come about calling this Blue Jeans, anyway you look at it, it's easy on the ears. I can't help but compare this band to The Backstreet Boys, Crowded House, Blink 182, The Bloodhound Gang, The Pet Shop Boys & David Bowie when I think of closet cases, believe-you-me! Hi Ricky & Elton, thx & THX4 potin'

[Carog277]

Damon wrote this song in the early days of his relationship with Justine; he had just moved in with her in Notting Hill. He said last year when Blur were rehearsing for the Hyde Park gigs that hearing Blue Jeans makes him think of being 23 and in love. In 2000, when this gig was filmed, maybe he did feel the sentiment to be naive, especially considering how the relationship ended.

[EuchridEucrow1]

Am I the only one who think the bass is mixed abnormally high here? Gets on my nerves. I can barely hear Coxon.

[gahan101]

@EuchridEucrow1 I've noticed too

[Bruno90s]

Beautiful Song Modern Life Is Rubish is a great art álbum better than Radiohead's Debut Pablo Honey and Suede Self-Titled àlbum.

Total Class Blue Jeans is amazing Kaiser Chiefs Are influenced for this song and Ricky Wilson make the song You Can Have It All in your Debut Employment.

Blur are influenced by The Kinks,The Beatles,The Who,The,Jam,XTC,Duran Duran,Inspiral Carpets and of Course The Stone Roses,for produced this record,psychedelic.mod,punk,ne­w wave and English Rock.

[MrJnrhunter]

@Bruno90s wtf

[ZEDZOR2]

@Bruno90s Yeh 'Leisure and Modern life is rubbish' are Blurs best work.95% of what they done later is just banal monotony for a fickle audience IMO.Suedes album i think stands on its own also and is a great album from that era.The vocals are blinding and the guitar works a symphony.

[parkinggiraffe]

sheeeeeee don't mind! whatever i say! whatever i say!

[crazybeats]

Superb.

[jasontristramroberts]

lookin' through my tears

lsd

try it

[Kristoballyojimbo]

"Modern life is rubbish" is a heck of a good album!

[septentrionale]

And get it almost destroyed their career.

[ZEDZOR2]

@Kristoballyojimbo Well spotted!

[catinnalicious]

Que canción más especial , me gusta mucho, siempre me gustará lo que Blur o cada uno de sus integrantes creen en musica, son geniales!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ablurida]

I love this song, wonder why they never played it before 1999.

Also love Graham's shirt.

[anfieldsquad]

nice song , amazing .!!

[papafaux1]

i didn't think such a good recording of this would be here (!). a truly great song from a great album...

damon's voice sounds so good here. saw them in hyde park a few weeks ago and his vocals aren't anything like they were back then.

[Ertal77]

Generational anthem!

[MasterLinuxer]

Amazing.

[54spiritedwill54]

BEAUTIFUL SONG!

[zaidabanksnyc]

Amazing¡¡¡¡¡¡¡My favourite song¡¡¡¡¡ :)

[lunalot]

What is he saying at 0:22, about when he wrote it?

[badhead]

He says  "I wrote it when I moved to west London. It's a bit naive now"

[lunalot]

Ah, thanks!

[devillarey]

Best song ever

[blackaristofon]

Una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en toda mi vida...

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard in entire my life ...

...She doesn't mind, whatever I say, whatever I say don't really want to change a thing, I want to stay this way... forever...

[scandowegianpean]

so brilliant

[lickicatsbum]

Still a great tune as of all blurs discography from leisure through to think tank and not forgetting all the b sides which hold a few hidden gems "ALL YOUR LIFE" on the beetlebum single is one of my favs QUALITY BAND good to hear there touring again hope they bring out new material

[dickhead6315]

I want Damon's t-shirt so bad

[skininja3]

Yes, a song the galleghers could never make ... and glad Blur made this one.

Air cushioned soles ... Great melody ...

[stev1963hit]

Beautiful tune by the perfect 90s band...makes the gallaghers seem so utterly leaden-cheers for sharing

[archeobacter]

my fav

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Awesome(my standard comment).

[2grapes]

I had the pleasure of hearing this live a few years ago, in the Olympia in Dublin, couldn't believe it when I heard the drums at the start.

They were touring on Think Tank, so I really wasn't expecting Blue Jeans or anything like that.

What a great band.

I have Modern Life on loop in my car at the moment.....probably blur at their best.

[Shane028]

5 stars .........

[uktah]

Damon is so hot!

[cardrew]

thank you very much for posting this, i've seen Blur no end of times but they never once played this song.

[blur268]

same here, i don't know why not...

anyway, thanks!

[dhunt1978]

hear that- "it sounds Naive now" (is that how it's spelled? anyway-)

very self critical. It's still a good song.

[blurvs]

exelente cancion......blue blue jeans

[grundapeya]

Best Song Ever!!

[PolteRIIIGeisT]

not that good a performance...

but great song offcourse

[alexblur95]

BEAUTIFUL SONG

[bubblewarped]

thanks for uploading this! =) this is the first time i've ever heard this song (I don't have MLIR album) and I loved it!

btw, alex is really a great bass player. wonder if he's ever won an award for that..

blur is really the best band for me. glad to hear they're reuniting (Graham's back).

[blackdice23]

GO AND BUY IT, it's arguably they're best record

[gahan101]

I love Blur,but let'sbe real:Alex is a good bass player.Flea(Chili Peppers)is a freeeeaking awsome bass player!!!

[bubunfa]

but the styles of Alex and Flea are completely different, u can't compare both, cos each one are awesome inside the style that plays...

sorry the pooooor english, i'm brazilian xD

[modsheff1]

aircushion soles i bought them on the portobello rd OH HEAVEN! MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH!!

[Knr911]

MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH: their best album

BLUE JEANS the best song - end of the story ;)

[cheekymonkey1979]

I love Modern Life Is Rubbish too: when I first heard For Tomorrow on GLR (my dad listened to it) as a kid, I pretty much decided they were my favorite band. However, without Parlife, they would probably never have even had the chance to continue. I feel it was make or break for Blur after 'MLIR', and they stepped up with an awesome pop record in the form of Parklife.

[melenhercer]

I don't like listening to live performances as much as recorded stuff but blur are definitely an exception. I definitely agree with the comment about blur being successors to the kinks. and although I like every blur album (but i don't know thinktank that well) modern life is the best by far.

[cupnoodle0718]

totally agree.

[janeypoppy]

modern life contains their finest work, in a weird way parklife spoiled the direction they took with their songs, they tried to distance themselves so much from that album, that they kind of ended up forgeting what they were all about..............the natural succeeders to the kinks.

[velouria91]

what the hell you guys? theyre often drunk! and who cares?!?! let them be fucking drunk, theyre still amazing!

[wethercourt]

what do you mean without getting drunk

[MattJamesR]

MLIR was their best era... They dressed in suits, made great music and could rock without getting drunk and didn't make a bunch of songs that sound like slow crap *Cough* Think Tank! *Cough*

I hate how sometimes it sounds like they play their songs to fast...

[longtalltanny]

love this!!!! the best ever!

[goodgirl629]

I wish Blur could have stayed like that forever.....

[percypurnell]

Best song ever

[wethercourt]

love this song- my favourite blur song thanx for puttin this vid on beetle

[GorillazVideos]

Damon seems slightly drunk XD Anyway, GREAT SONG! One of my Blur faves!

[stoopid79]

wicked performance, Graham will return one day...the harmonies will be better with him back!xs

[hourcide]

easily the best blur song by far!!!

[SAKU7]

coool

i think that there are little blur live videos of modern life is rubbish, why not more?

genial!

[fluxkit]

Amazing... wasn't this Blur's last time playing out with Graham?

[santowhir]

good to see an old blur track performed live

[shrapnel75]

Fantastic memories.

[citydweller]

a great song!

[JaimeChile]

[1875steve]
