Aberdeen (Live From The Basement At Grimey's)

[jasgasm11]

I just like watching him. He always looks like he's having some kind of full body orgasm. Oh what I'd do to see one of their shows..

[MrFeebleProductions]

Fred the show? FUCK LIFE

[xDANCEnickDANCE]

heeyy check out my cage the elephant cover that would be really cool.

[powerslave451]

i know everyone compares these guys to nirvanna but i personally think these guys are way better.

Bring on the hate.

[jrich3126]

@powerslave451 did you ever listen to nirvana?

[powerslave451]

@jrich3126 yes, and the are pretty awesome but i like cage the elephant better.

[ALICEcupofjuceyjayy]

kurt <33333333 matt <3333333

[SkirtSoPlain]

They opened for the Black Keys in Vegas last year. I saw the show the day after where some rapper opened. I'm so pissed I didn't see them. I could have gone the other night.

[SkirtSoPlain]

Keepin it real. rock on

[dereksloane]

They dont sound like the pixies to me(top comment),but what do i know?Im just a zit on the ass of the world,..Just like you jagoffs.

[billytalent4500]

They're awesome

[MrFeebleProductions]

I love this band but they're terrible live.

[Cagethemonkey1819]

@MrFeebleProductions o there not there awesome live

[slickgum100]

is this guy canadian and great

[teigue1986]

This band is the real deal! Grunge is back finally, I'm so sick of all the mainstream sounds on the radio now, this is a raw undergound sound and hopefully they stick to that, rock needs more bands like this

[SkirtSoPlain]

@teigue1986 They are not Nirvana, but they are as close as it gets today. 

[musicsuxnowadays]

great song. great stage presence.

[160ofthe90s]

It absolutely amazes me that critics called this band "mass-produces bland modern rock". I can't stand that type of music, Nickelback and Three Days Grace and all that crap, but Cage the Elephant to me is such a unique band. I hope there are many more records in the future from these guys.

[musicsuxnowadays]

@160ofthe90s u should hear CAVO. they are great. BUT

you cant label TDG in the same category as NB. come on. cage is a great band. no doubt, but there are others out there.

Check out a song by CAVO called Let it go.

[SkirtSoPlain]

@160ofthe90s I respect that they unabashedly pay tribute to Nirvana, as all rock bands should, but most don't. Rock on.

[holzymrt]

this cannot be him singing live

[naminekiari]

@holzymrt Believe it.

[AllEndsWell4]

@holzymrt It is, he's just not some autotuned crappy pop star, he has real talent and can actually sing the stuff he writes, overproduced music=shitty live. Good music=BETTER live, even though the studio version is already awesome.

[remonio11]

aberdeen is where kurt cobain comes from

[jrodabio]

@remonio11 it's where he formed Nirvana, but it's not where he's from

[tropicalbrains45]

if this your first time lisitieng to cage the elephant welcome to the new generation 

[fightlies]

lol. so he includes the stutters in the live performances, too. hahahaha.

[Cookietree005]

i hate the way he dances lol :$

[luvs2sploog3]

@Cookietree005 it's not dancing, it's rocking out

[leedaddyroberts]

And to your right you will see Skrillex on rhythm guitar

[myaccountissocooler]

@leedaddyroberts the biggest look alike is probably the singer and kurt cobain

[leedaddyroberts]

@myaccountissocooler Haha that's probably true. Just give him a left handed strat and he's a perfect match

[IsLogicLogical]

The most energetic band out there :D

[TheSpunkification]

how could you not love this?

[9876GREENday]

These guys opened up for the Foo in L.A. Best opening act I have ever seen.

[MrBallinbigp45]

my heart goes out to these mother fucking guys! i actually found a really good freaking band :D thank god!!!!!

[metaitachi]

Man the singer seems to just go into some sort of tripout whenever he performs live, its hilarious! :D Great band though. Not always the best live (vocals) but good band

[crazyboy6991]

Lol Mat is so crazy at his concerts! At Lolla 2011 he stood while crowd surfing, climbed a fence, and dove off at least 5 feet into the crowd. It was awesome! Such a great show live.

[TheDat897]

either the guys holding the cameras have parkinsons really bad........ or he's just badass.

[swingclub007]

Yeah I was driving along and this came on the radio and I thought ...The Pixies just made another kick ass song. Now I am addicted to Cage the Elephant.

[Nyx024]

is it way back or white flag?

[klpfj08]

@Nyx024 way back

[Wagtang69]

I like how disastrous it sounds at 1:05

[EpicRemixMan]

The lead singer should be legendary, up there with Robert Plant and Mick Jagger and John Lennon.

[BioMaterialz]

@EpicRemixMan And Kurt cobain.

[79FoxBodyMustang]

kurt cobain would be proud.... i swear he got re born into this kid.

[myaccountissocooler]

@79FoxBodyMustang if kurt cobain was reborn........ does that mean he was never in nirvana???? GASP

[79FoxBodyMustang]

@myaccountissocooler that didnt even make sense.. if he was reborn, why wouldnt he of been in nirvana?

[myaccountissocooler]

@79FoxBodyMustang It was a joke about Buddhism (Involving Rebirth unless you go to Nirvana as in the place)

[79FoxBodyMustang]

@myaccountissocooler im confpoosed.

[myaccountissocooler]

@79FoxBodyMustang Nirvana means "enlightenment". When a Buddhist lives a good enough life he goes to Nirvana. If not, he gets reborn into another being(human or other animal) so therefore if he was reborn then he was never in Nirvana.

[myaccountissocooler]

@79FoxBodyMustang now do you see what i did thur?

[ALiitleGreenAliien]

the music video for this song made me cry The dragon creature only wanted tobe there friends :( BUT this song is fucken badass

[destroyapro]

Aberdeen is a city in Grays Harbor County, Washington, which is most famous as being the hometown of Kurt Cobain. The song's title is a nod to the birthplace of the late Nirvana frontman. ITS NOT A TRIBUTE OR KISSING ASS. BUT CAGE THE ELEPHANT LIKE ALMOST every yes every rock band around now was inspired by nirvana hate them or love them, they mad a huge impact and inspired many artists. this song may not have noting to do with kurt, buts its like a little hint! so fuck off haters

[destroyapro]

THIS SONG IS FUCKEN AMAZING!!!. BUT I REALLY WISH I DIDN'T SEE THAT MUSIC VIDEO... ITS SO FUCKING SAD...

[AJewishMidget]

is he drunk in this vid?

[TheWhocares88]

@AJewishMidget nope, just awesome

[RadioGuy1000]

[mynameisfuzzy1]

cage the elephant is amazing

[sunsun410]

hey matty, kurt cobain called

he likes your hair

[JGRJakks]

Heaven Its Not Heaven Without This Song.Thank God Theres Still Bands Playing Real Music.Now That I Heard This Song I Can Rest In Peace Satisfied.

[VelricReize]

I'm actually very impressed that Matt can hit that high note so well.

[CaysRenee777]

@VelricReize I KNOW RIGHT? I can't even hit that note and i'm a girl. I mean i can if i sing like, quietly. but no no no. :)

[stokedsmallfry]

The only thing I don't like about their live performances is that Matthew ruins the awesome lyrics by jumping around. I understand that he really gets into the music but it sounds crappy :P I love this song though.

[babijzzy]

@stokedsmallfry eh, i sort of agree, but it just helps the crowd EVEN more into it :)

[CaysRenee777]

@stokedsmallfry You ruin it (juss kiddin; but seriously ;) ). I personally love it when he jumps around. It gets EVERYONE pumped, i think it even gets the other band members pumped. It even gets me pumped and ive never seen them live.

[MustangAficionado]

The best song the Pixes never made

[skaterbros1002]

@MustangAficionado haha just what I was thinkin

[BlackBearTexas]

@MustangAficionado I thought it sounded like the Pixies too! Maybe one of their influences?

[MustangAficionado]

@BlackBearTexas No doubt

[sk8element1919]

@MustangAficionado I love both bands. They're like the new age Pixies

[RoyObann0n]

@MustangAficionado I so agree with that. the guy they stole this song from definately made it with the pixies in mind.

[nolansyers]

I don't give 47 shits about people in storybrook, play the damn song. thumbs if you have any idea what im talking about.

[somethingguitarish]

Hands down my favorite song on the album

[milesistheowl]

ok so is this song a tribute to nirvana?i mean kurt cobain grew up in aberdeen and this is very distorted pixies influenced punk? anyone else see the corelation?

[watchaholic93]

insightful with great melody. Thank you for the post

[MusicandCoco]

he has ants in his pants O_O

[mouseproductions]

new favorite band

[alliehaganbottom]

I have a lady boner.

[horrormoviejunky]

Nobody puts on a show like these guys...nobody.

[orangefreakygal]

does he drink like 10 redbulls, and 15 monsters, and 12 cups of coffee before he goes on stage, or something?

[horrormoviejunky]

@orangefreakygal Oh, it isn't caffeine...xD

[deadbothan]

It's just as good as their last album. It's just different. that is all.

[driedtodust]

Not to poop on everyone's parade, but Matt has already said he got the song idea from Aberdeen, Scotland. It doesn't have anything to do with Kurt Cobain.

[cassieinwonderland17]

Matthew Schultz's energy on stage is amazing!! Soo electric :)

[elephantpersonthingy]

what a band, this is such awesome music. >:)

[richardgarcia4497]

i already saw the official video...it was horrible the song does not go with the video

[SoSaidtheSun]

@richardgarcia4497 The video was amazing! It was so sad?

[ohthatEmily]

@richardgarcia4497 I still liked the video. At least it was creative.

[ohthatEmily]

Then there’s the lyrics. With lines like the Cobain-esque “You burned me once again,” and “Back and forth, bloody fingers” (the first part taken straight from Nirvana’s ‘Drain You’), plus “Cut the cord, she’s a creep” (‘Negative Creep,’ anyone?), listeners could be forgiven for drawing parallels to a certain multiplatinum trio that helped put the Seattle grunge scene on the map.

[ohthatEmily]

For starters, ‘Aberdeen’ sounds like an homage to (some might say blatant rip-off of) a song by the Pixies, the indie-rock darlings that Cobain said he was blatantly ripping off when he wrote Nirvana’s biggest hit, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit.’

[MsPaparatz]

@ohthatEmily ...lol they've already said it's for cobain.....they're big fans and this was a tribute to him

[ohthatEmily]

‘Aberdeen’ is the new single from Cage the Elephant, but it’s also the name of the town in Washington where late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain grew up. Think that could be a coincidence? Think again.

[ohthatEmily]

Where is My Mind??

[ti371307]

Amazing finally a good rock band.

[Drunking420]

fuck offf

[MessiAllday]

finally a commercial i didnt quick Budweiser :P

[muffinsrC00L1]

i need to do my home work but i cant stop playing cage the elephant

[lessthanjamie]

@muffinsrC00L1 fuck it your school will understand i'm sure

[rebelrevolution22]

@muffinsrC00L1 i cant describe how right you are

[TheTone714]

This notion that they made this song about some city in Kentucky that they dont live in and that its not about Aberdeen, Washington, Kurt Cobains hometown, a noted inspiration to CTE, just tells me the world is filled people who lack common sense.

[mh4life101]

i get to see them in a few days, they play on my birthday! im so excited, i cant wait to see em

[paigeANN23]

jeeze. i dont even have that much energy and im fifteen

[Anthonythebest1]

the made this song in tribute to kurt cobians hometown

[Halzail167]

*kentucky

[Halzail167]

@drsexyzebra they're from bowling green kenuckt, aberdeen is in ohio and washington, not kentucky

[jefflikesguitar]

They sound more like the Pixies in this song to me. Either way, they rock.

[blackgoldism]

I cant get enough of this song

[annalieseawsome]

is he ok??? O.O

[kingandqueeen]

kurt wouldnt give a shit

[mrpichou97]

simply amasing

[BrokenSound92]

This song is so deep even my emotions feel confused. First I feel goosebumps. Then shock, aftershock.. and then spasms. i love you cage the elephant!

[mikehowton707]

@DrSexyZebra you are high. BOWLING GREEN Kentucky. 

[DrSexyZebra]

Cage the Elephant is from kentucky. ABERDEEN Kentucky. This song is NOT about Nirvana.

[MrEd3192]

@DrSexyZebra cage the elephant is from bowling green kentucky not aberdeen haha

[RandomVideos7818]

I have been to this venue. I am from kentucky. win.

[drunkandmisguided]

I promise you, CTE fans are going to make me stop liking them.

Personally, most of their songs sound nothing like Nirvana's.

I'm not trying to be mean, but that's the truth.

[mikehowton707]

@drunkandmisguided I no dude..... I totally agree. But it's not necessarily that they sound like nirvana, but that they give me a grunge feel that nirvana did too. Don't stop liking cage because fans suck!

[gusey97]

I LOVE THESE GUYS this is perfect

[alliphorez]

REAL F*CKEN MUSIC

[cheezedow]

1:51-1:55 SEIZURE *_*

[raddestgirlEVARR]

LOVE this song <3

I hope to see them live one day, looks freaking sick.

Viva CTE!

[SophiaVixen]

lol saw aberdeen in the title and said "if this is a tribute to Cobain im buyin everyone icecream.....or Nirvana downloads" lol tell me ur fav flavor bitches.

[patsfan1244]

@SophiaVixen chocolate chip mint plz

[TheCurrentReaction1]

@SophiaVixen chocolate vanilla swirl!!!

[screaminghatter]

ABERDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! ^o_o^

[sludgedisciple]

This song is totally Channeling the Pixies Caribou... IMO

[XxKillboyPowerheadxX]

I bought this album in Aberdeen :) lol I thought that was something worth sharing

[BEGraduate]

@XxKillboyPowerheadxX Well you thought WRONG bitch! naw i'm kidding that's cool :) wow it's hard not to sound sarcastic now...

[TheCesarLuevano]

this song makes me wanna get naked and hang from a hotel window.

[plurp8]

@TheCesarLuevano that's not weird at all

[KoRnSlipFold]

Aberdeen is where Kurt Cobain (lead singer to Nirvana) was born. Kurt Cobain suffered from heavy drug addiction which ultimately led to his suicide. Matt Schultz is the guy that goes ABERDEEEEEEEEN!! and he had also suffered with a drug addiction.

[fadedmario]

Good song

[gearsmasher65]

sounds more like the pixies

[jerknewboys]

kurt cobain whos that please tell me?

[GamecubeLPs]

@jerknewboys ...

[darknightza]

@jerknewboys cant tell if troll,

or just stupid

[Chosenwaffle]

@jerknewboys o_O

[peanutbuttertickle]

@jerknewboys Its called Wikipedia.... Nice name dude!

[MrPumpkins1979]

@jerknewboys Fool, Kurt Cobain is dead and this band isn't even Nirvana.

[RocksRevenge]

R.I.P. KURT COBAIN

You Will Not Be Forgotten :'(

[gomdav12]

i hear some pixies,a splashh of early radio head some sonic youth. though i aint talking shit.its obvious they like them selves some late 80s early 90s indie

[gomdav12]

@gomdav12 grunge

[hyderulez94]

GRUNGE

[metalhead384]

in my opinion there best song

[CocoCrispy22]

some things take a long long long long time.....a long time

[jesusjoos]

These guys are my modern day Nirvana. Im not saying there exactly alike or that CTE is better. Its just that when I hear these guys do there thing I am constantly reminded of Nirvana. Love Cage the Elephant may they forever continue to keep on rocking!! Fuck tha rest!

[jkkdf44]

love how they're always feelin it, never a dull moment in their performance

[FCastillo000]

cage the elephant is also from aberdeen, kentucky.

[pawpawnorth]

@FCastillo000 aberdeen kentucky does not exist, they're from bowling green

[FCastillo000]

@pawpawnorth it does exist you idiot.

aberdeen is part of bowling green.



[pawpawnorth]

@FCastillo000 Then it's Bowling Green, therefore making it Aberdeen, Bowling Green, Kentucky.

[MultiKippy]

@pawpawnorth aberdeen is in washington state, bowling green is in kentucky

[DylanBarrett23]

@FCastillo000 incorrect, CTE is from bowling green kentucky and aberdden is a street name here

[FCastillo000]

@DylanBarrett23 god dam it.. go to google maps.. search for "aberdeen, kentucky" not "aberdden" like you said.. look at what bigger city aberdeen is around. then come back and see if you still think i'm wrong.

[DylanBarrett23]

@FCastillo000 simple typo. always makes me laugh how serious people get on youtube. aberdeen ky is a SMALL town about 25 miles northeast of bowling green and thats an undeniable fact. unfortunately none of the members are from the town of aberdeen, they are all from bowling green which is where they went to high school (greenwood to be exact), i know i live here and have been watching them play for over 4 years.

[DylanBarrett23]

@FCastillo000 and if we're critiquing typos it's god DAMN not dam,lmao. enjoy the music though man. thats what its all about



[smurf6524]

Saw these guys in concert this year and they were awesome! Matt ran threw the crowd, crowd surfed and generally had a fucking awesome time. Highlight of the music festival for me.

[CaliforniAgirl723]

kurt cobain- born in aberdeen, washington

[bumblefritz]

People always complain about how great the music used to be, but if people try to revive it then they are insulted and cut down....Make up your mind people.

[punknap]

@bumblefritz Amen to that dude.

[RocksRevenge]

@bumblefritz go to my channel. its all about reviving rock music. I recently contacted youtube and they are going to seperate the rock videos from the pop videos in the music section. this will get rock music more attention.

[TheTone714]

@bumblefritz There is no reasoning with haters

[thesergreatvids]

@bumblefritz One of the greatest human flaws is making your mind.

[lostd00d]

@bumblefritz good point man spread that knowledge
