Midtown - Give It Up

[TheYuame]

WHY GABE? WHY?

[krazywane]

@TheYuame ???

[Kelsey12348]

Fuck cobra starship!!!!! Bring Midtown back! Ahh.

[krazywane]

@Kelsey12348 Oh don't say that. The members of Cobra are good people. Don't blame them for doing what they do. Yes, I agree, Midtown, in a way, is better. But that time has passed and we should respect that. They've all moved on. Tyler is married to his longtime gf and he works for Marc Jacobs now. Rob does his thing with music and DJing. Heath, no idea where he is. Gabe, well, the douchebag still won't answer me hahaha

[Kelsey12348]

@krazywane Yeah I have nothing against them as people im sure they're awesome. I just dont cobra starships that kind of music. and I just miss midtown good memories.

[krazywane]

@Kelsey12348 Indeed. But I don't blame them for doing what they do. Gabe said it best, they give fans what they want and make money off it. As long as they enjoy doing it, they'll keep at it. Sure, not everyone will like it, but I think they've past that phased long ago. Did they sacrifice their convictions? Not necessarily, people are too quick to judge. I'm not endorsing or advocating everything Gabe says, though one could interpret it as me sucking up.

[krazywane]

@Kelsey12348 Gabe knows I ain't sucking up to him. He knows I'll call out his shit when he does it, even in a joking manner. I miss Midtown, dearly. Probably more than most people realize. I saw them live over 30 times! It's still nice though seeing the guys now and then. I see Rob when I'm in NY, Gabe...the douchebag is always busy. I hope to see him again soon. I still have a bottle of vodka for him hahaha...guess I'll bring some Red Bull too, Sugar Free, he's getting FAT ;)

[supimchloee]

they probably broke up cause now gabe is with cobra starship

such a different sound than cobra. though gabe is amazing in either band C:

[TheBieberNinjaz]

I don't think he realizes people will still support him even if he would turn back to this kind of music.

Which is great.<3

[grapezrgood]

Wikipedia brought me here.

[Knjklj]

I think i know what's in the bag. IT'S BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN!

[WackAWarrior]

@glinxz no doubt

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

wow that robbery scene broke the song in exactly the wrong way

[51Lv3R1nK5tYl3]

Oh look, Gabe before he started making music exclusively for ignorant teenage girls.

[woodridgetrackrunner]

@51Lv3R1nK5tYl3 hahahahaha such an awesomely true comment.

[thetiger0528]

I know what's in the bag =D of course the meaning of life... strawberrys with sugar xD

[SHUTUPcartman]

This band was.. pretty fucking good.

[Ioganstone]

this is the song I think of when I think of spiderman

[29Texan]

Madden 2005

[FirEmblmFan]

The taxi part reminds me of the one Red Hot Chili Peppers song were the taxi driver pretty much kidnaps the lead singer. I don't remember the song, but I don't like them anyway, I just remember seeing the music video for it.

[LaurenSaysCupcakes]

@FirEmblmFan the RHCP song you're thinking of is By The Way :)

[ariokage]

;A; aw gabe!! <3

[trikerification]

Burnout 3 :))

[shinytowtruck]

gabe... even prettier here! <3s

[LittleLead]

this song is sweet

[taaraa9517]

this is by far their best song

[Girlsaportaa]

Midtown,perfect band ♥

[glitz018bianx]

gabe looks the same hahaha

[fueledbyholly411]

Ahh i love Gabe Saportaaaa <3

[kham2914]

SM2 soundtrack!!

[njramirez09]

Love this song! I miss it...and old Fuse

[robbiexlopes68]

I thought Heath was the main vocals for this band?

[krazywane]

@robbiexlopes68 You are thinking Senses Fail.

[robbiexlopes68]

@krazywane Buddy is the front man of Senses Fail...idk much about midtown..i just read somewhere that Heath was guitar and vocals..i guess i just assumed that he was the main and not back up vocals.

[krazywane]

@robbiexlopes68 Yeah, well that Gabriel Saporta was pretty much hogging the spotlight, isn't that so lurking G.A.B.E.!!! :P

[AmyyEduardo]

personally, i prefer Cobra, but this is still good :)

[charleytheumpalumpa]

i wish midtown was still a band they could of been a house hold name better than most of the stuff they play on the radio a couple more songs like this and they would of been huge

[halofreakterminator]

what if i told you that my sis knows him

[krazywane]

Who doesn't know him? LOL, ask her to tell Gabe "You know I heard that Krazy Wane is one krazy mofo!" and see what he says :p

[matthewsomethingteen]

@halofreakterminator does gape saporta SMOKE

[krazywane]

@matthewsomethingteen Smoke what??? ;)

[saffievilvampire]

@matthewsomethingteen i think he does.....n i think he used to smoke weed but he quit :)

[krazywane]

@saffievilvampire sarcasm right? cause we all know rockstars on the road hardly ever "quit" anything ;)

[saffievilvampire]

@krazywane yh lol :)

[krazywane]

Okay kids....stop coming on here and posting shit like you know shit alright. I will block your ass and delete the comment, heck, I'll remove the damn video then!

Quit saying you know Gabe and he was depressed in Midtown and CS is his outlet. That's old news and if you are naive enough to believe everything you read then well good for you.

When it comes to Gabe, take everything with a grain of salt. If you read/listen to enough interviews of him in the last 10 years, you'll know why :p

[TERRELL396]

dude you did a great job fuck them ass holes this is a great video i rated it 5 stars

[krazywane]

Hahaha, thanks. Kids are whack, they believe everything out there as the "gospel truth". Am I exaggerating, most definitely but then I'm a cynic, what is is expected of me? :D

Thanks for the rating. :)

[BrettInSeries]

So good... I can't say I'm a fan of Cobra. But, I won't bash. If you like music at all, that is AWESOME in my book. If we were all the same, that'd be no fun. But, hey... Who agrees this song is the shit!

[JerseySkate]

oven fresssssshhhh what happened to the good fuse???

[flyinglemoncentral]

this is so different from cobra starship...i think i might like it...

[krazywane]

This was off their 3rd album...listen to stuff from first and second...more pop punk stuff...but read deeper into the lyrics.

[x0oPirate]

i love gabe's voice.

[OriginalPunkPink]

so funny hearing Gabe here and then listening to him in Cobra Starship XD

[east12th]

that is that fucker from cobra starship! i knew it!

[krazywane]

Yes, if you mean the egotistical badass mofo Gabriel Saporta, then yes, hahaah

[LostInPacificTime]

Love their style.

:)

[paulogomes17]

Gabe seu foda !

Massa demais cara ♥

[UserPatrol813]

This was my fourth favorite song on Madden 05...ahh the memories.

[paramisticpaige]

the young gabe!

i actually really like this song!

[haleya302]

young gabe = yum

[ProblemsInNumbers]

meh, not THAT young, he must've been what, 25/24?

but ANY Gabe = yum so your right there XD

[krazywane]

Video made in 2004, Spring/Summer 2004 so before his 25th bday, so he was still 24...good guesstimate there.

[ProblemsInNumbers]

Oh, okay didnt know exactly when in 04 so I guessed.

It's sad that I know Gabes birthdate and not my own Dad's haha.

I only remember once near my own :/

[krazywane]

Hahaha, wow, I don't always remember his birthday, but when the time rolls around I do.

I still remember when this video premiered on MTV2 and Fuse. Even though I saw it online as well, hahaha, wow, that was nearly 6 years ago...oh man...those were the days!

[jesusbeatbox]

Burnout 3 rules!!

[Bobbie07]

i like this song... but the it sounds like it was way too serious. super different from cobra starship. but i still love cobra! i think gabes voice makes me like it so much! hes one hot motha! =D

[Giggityman3]

this song rocks its way better than corba starship but both bands still rock!

[Lindgren119]

someone answear this question, why did they broke up? this band was totaly awsome! dont give it up!

[BrooksWeg]

@Lindgren119

You are correct, but he started this band called Cobra Starship and is super gay now.

[coolspitfire]

midtown eventfully broke up and made other bands. cobrastarship was made that way almost all the members came from other bands.

[nastynateftw]

@coolspitfire ...just sayin, that's not really true. elisa&vicky-t were not in bands previously, and nate was a drum tech before cobra. also, ryland and alex were in little bands previously, but nothing serious. I know this is a midtown video and I didn't want to bring cobra starship into this, but you're wrong and I had to point it out.

[krazywane]

Thank you. I'm becoming fed up with YT and got lazy to clarify anything anymore...though I still moderate the comments, lol.

That Elisa was one big B!^&*, hahaha. Nobody does research anymore to find out fact from rumors/fiction. Okay, few, not nobody, same shit, different pile.

[G0odf3lla]

this song brings some many good memories back !!

[jedimasterjack]

midtown IS better than cobra starship.

[xoJoeJonasWantsMeox]

i didnt noe about midtown till earlier this year. i dnt like them any better than cobra starship. Gabes great no matter what

[problemsarnumbers]

its hard for me to decide whether i like gabe better in midtown or cobra starship, i mean if he still was in the smae genre then i could probably choose but i like a lot of different music.

[Shtivv]

take the worst song of Midtown. it will always be ten times better than any song of Cobra Starship.

[11barbiedoll]

i remember when they first got discovered

[FangsUpBra]

I. Just. Absolutly. Love. This. Song.

I love Gabe Saporta as well. And no, not only because he is sexy as hell.....but this guy is absolutly amazing inside and out.

He's my idol =]

[eminemgirl313]

OMG so shocked abour Gabe.. he was in an another band.. he was young, the sound was different.. oh well i feel weird atm lol

[krazywane]

Why shock? Why weird out? I mean Gabe is a multifaceted, talented, a bit douchey but may be forgiven due to his humbleness, lol.

He's been in 3 bands now. In high school it was Humble Beginning prior to Fall 1998, then formed punk rock Midtown in 1998 and formed Cobra Starship in 2006.

[eminemgirl313]

i know ;)

ive known him only into cobra starship, and seeing him sounding different, young and in the past.. idk lol

[Dennisthamaster]

hahaha the nigger at 0:40 always cranks me up

[Allysou11]

Ignorant douche bag : )

[carOxcokii]

hahaha

[Glittteratti]

weird... the store looks like the one in the Good Girls gone bad vid

[Acb4311]

Jesus.Hard to believe Gabe is 30 today

[jonrskitlez]

lol must be weed

[krazywane]

Huh?

[jonrskitlez]

in the bag he was carrying, it mustve been weed,

[krazywane]

Ahh, sure why not, plus Vodka Red Bull.

[HannahCutie211878]

of course there's Vodka & Red Bull... otherwise Gabe would've given it up!

[krazywane]

Hahaha, hey, he knows his masculinity and did not turn down a Lemon Drop my friend bought for him.

[zacharied]

Haha the Give it up part sounds just like "Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason Were Famous". Obviously because it's Gabe in both songs but still...=]

[krazywane]

Haven't heard anything off Hot Mess except the first single.

[OfficialAimeeSawyer]

Yeah i heard that too ='']

[tiauli101]

is the lead singer now the lead singer of cobra starship ?

[krazywane]

Uh, yeah....you cannot tell?  Same Gabriel Eduardo Saporta! Only more punk-ish and serious, hahaha.

[bumpslide]

He sounds like brendon urie alot

[krazywane]

You mean Brendon Urie sounds like him since all the guys of Midtown are older!

A father does not look/sound like a son, it's the son whom looks/sounds like his father.

[2good2talk2you]

WHAT? NO THEY DONT. but on some albums, patrick stump and brendon urie sound a LITTLE a like. but him and gabe... totally different. maybe we just have different ears. :)

[kank562]

Heath Is The Best LOL

Sad That He All Ready Out Of Senses Fail =(

[dudethatsaguitar]

hes not out of senses fail

[xeniel017]

PUNK!

[panicoutcobrahh]

this video reminds me of fall out boy-saturday...

Great song though :)

[xxjordie]

never realised how tall gabe was until i saw him when he was standing in the door way ... 6'4 whoa

[woahjoebro]

wow, gabes voice is midtown is amazing!

[thehappyblob133]

I want that bag

[Lynxs10]

good song

[oz2973]

2:20-2:50 i like this part

[peterkingstonlewis]

WHATS IN THE BAG?!?!?!!?

[rachelandjulio]

id have to say asecond chance is in the bag

[IamLuke92]

how scary would this be??

id actually kill myself if everyone chased me for a reason i didnt know

[Xx6brokenhearts9xX]

What was soposd to be ing the fuckig bag?!?!

[coheedfan119]

heath carries this band

[Haley1812]

Honestly, I think that the constant bitching about what a "monster" Gabe is now that he's in Cobra Starship is just like.. pointless.

Like. WTF? WHY.

Who cares! He's clearly happy with Alex, Vicky, Nate, and Ryland now, doing the thing they all love to do, so why bitch?

[leah420]

i dont think ppl do it to hate they do it because they miss midtown. Gabe is awesome and ur right the fact he's still out there is really good enough for me

[xxpatricksgirlxx]

i agree totally. it bugs me that ppl think that. Gabe is very clearly happy. and isn't that all that matters!?

[MetalCore63]

hah, gabe saporta.

[sojirokaidoh2]

i used to think this was so badass

[kayonahotgurl]

everything happens for a reason....if they didnt break up we wouldnt have the song 'good girls go bad'<<---cobra starship...i love that song................by the way is the store in this video ,the same store in 'good girls go bad 'video????????????????????????

[hereisyourstorm]

.... hahahahahah

[Lindgren119]

2:20 - 2:50 i love it!

[RockIsNotNoise]

why did midtown break up? They only lasted, five or four years. Ah well, the days when pop-punk had meaningful lyrics are over. Only motion city soundtrack dominates that bit.

[krazywane]

Midtown formed Fall 1998, last show 2005, Gabe formed Cobra Starship Summer 2006, check your facts, do the math!

[harjot101]

holy smokes gabe looks so different here and now .. total make over so wasnt always wearing tight pants

[edn2006]

I can't believe he went on to form the fucking band that sings "Good Girls Go Bad". What a downgrade.

[superfragaWHAT]

hey, wouldn't you rather have him be successful and happy? sure, you don't like his new music, but he's doing what he loves.

[thiskidglows]

holy moly. this song is on the spider man 2 soundtrack and i've listened to it a HUNDRED times lol. Then like fast forward from then till now and i only Now found out that's gabey baby! haha no matter what band he is in his voice is SO incredibly hot to me. Good thing he's talented.

[krazywane]

Yup, and same song also featured on a few Play Station games...mentioned in many of the comments above.

[Kozlen]

this song is helping me forget about that woman that just won't get out of my mind

IT'S NOT ME YOU'RE WAITING FOR!

[mynameisal7]

Lol.left 4 dead almost

[iloviesisky]

gabe should know the cops very well

lolz i am such a cobra fan i love this video

[krazywane]

I'm sure he does, hahaha.

[iloviesisky]

why did he even get arrested i couldnt find the video

i only saw the pictures of him and the cop

[xebbex]

heroin heroin 03

[SpAmourtje]

What's in the bag? I guess something important (':

[sharpyne5]

What's in that bag? Anyone knows or have an opinion? Oo

[raybotheironman]

if i were to take a best guess, i would say either money or drugs

[Ballplayer300th]

cocaine/crack ....

[1AwsumFilipino]

Gabe Saporta,<3hes so hot.

Hes awsum in Cobra Starship now.(;

[carolina123f]

he is so fucking hot

[AlfaroGC]

what a huge change!

[Neiliorox]

They should' have given Heath more vocals like they do in Senses Fail. He's a lot better in that band.

[GameZilla617]

Well, that's only because Buddy's voice isn't the best live.

[Neiliorox]

They still give him a lot of backing vocals on the albums, though. Oh, well Heath's leaving Senses Fail anyways after this summer. I get to see one of his last shows with them tomorrow and I can't wait! They're my favorite band in the world.

[whatevaman512]

Ya I saw them on saturday and I found out later he was leaving and it made me sad, he's really talented and is a good singer too. I wish I had gotten his autograph while I was there

[marladance]

aww circa 2004, i miss these days...

[pashedmotatos]

same here

[marladance]

the music was soo much better, i think

[sofirulz]

ah the old gabe

[mllover13]

i think over the years, gabe has changed for the worse. this is when he was actually cool, and played good music. i'm sad that id never knew about midtown until like now :( midtown is miles better than cobra starship.

[xchloeeeeeee]

you cannot say that, it's like slapping gabe-and his fans-in the face. he didn't change his style for anyone's benefit besides his own.

[mllover13]

i'm just stating my opinion here. i really don't like the direction he went from here. just look at that song, good girls go bad, that song sucks! it just isn't as meaningful as midtown was.

[xcoldxasxfirex]

you can't say that.

First of all, GGGB is SO different from all of Cobra's stuff.

Plus, CS just does stuff to have fun.

They make stuff that they want to do.

Learn before you bash.

[RenjiX1000]

0:40 is hilarious!!!!

[ProjectCade06]

I'm pretty sure this gabe would have never recorded "hot mess"...:/ i feel ashamed I was never into midtown..look at the monster we created..

[FastWombatIsFast]

Gabes voice sounds the same, but just a different genre.

I've been a cobra fan for a while, but never listened to Midtown. I'm impressed.

[pokemon1199]

Me too. This is only the second Midtown song I've heard, the other was very bad quality. This is good :)
