Death From Above 1979 live at Trash, London

[Curtis89]

@jenn8811 good news!

[Killzor420]

I think I see the reason why they broke up though. They diddn't get along well together. Sebastien kinda stole the spotlight. Talked over the bassist alot, but I think they coulda kept it goin good. But then again, maybe it was meant to be.

[Creativitymadness]

Fuck, wish Ive could seen this guys live

[SoapSudz101]

@jenn8811 YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM :((((

[Killzor420]

wow the mustache made the video oh so better.. mustache ride anyone?

[jcool1011]

lol that guy got t-baged by the drummer

[JarshMaul]

Your foot is now blessed!

[RTJT87]

man poor JFK, My fingers would be so sore after playing that one riff over and over again for two minutes straight. I tried played Romantic Rights before and my fingers always tense up. He is such a fuckin machine. I guess that's why they called it "you're a woman, I'm a machine" hey?

[bassgod47]

romantic rights isnt so bad actually

[musiqqqqqq]

Do It is worse.

[icirum]

wild sick!

[TOJOLEO]

my fav song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CymbalOfLove]

i would do unspeakable things to sebastien... man oh man

[camilleXD]

oh i agree.

[golemosworld15]

same

[korndud]

lol i saw him live with his new band in ottawa and it was soooo lame....there was only like 50 people there and no one was doing anything. good show though.

[CymbalOfLove]

Yea.. i saw him and the mountains a month ago.. Not the greatest and there was a max. of 25 people..He's still hot lol

[ducky138]

I love Sebastian. I'd kill to be that guy in the tie in the front.

[pplprsn65]

That guy was like wtf? I'd be like yeah! These clothes are never getting washed again!

[theskilled99]

lol

ditto

[rayolacer]

this is like lightning bolt for pussies

[KillSeattleLewis]

@rayolacer THERE IS NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN LIGHTNING BOLT AND DEATH FROM ABOVE. FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING CUNT.

[sefortich]

whats the name of this song??

[manonfireisburning]

Romantic Rights

[killingtime15]

how the fuck does he do that with the bass in the beginin?

[ilovethehandcannon]

its a pick scrape....

[killingtime15]

i knew that, i'm sorry i wasn't specific enough. I mean the thing that starts at 0:39

[zagnash]

its still a pick scrape.

[killingtime15]

ah yeah you're right, i looked up some covers of it. that's really cool though, didn't know you could get that kinda sound with the bass

[xbradx11]

noob. lrn2bass.

[killingtime15]

you're a douche. my bad for not playing bass so i had a question about a sound that you almost never hear basses make.

[ducky138]

I didn't know you could either, I think thats what makes DFA so cool, just a different sound you don't usually hear.

[sebastiandaley]

i feel bad for that guy sebastien pushes around

[hiddenoath]

i dont!

i would happily trade places to have a chance to say i was that close to Seb and Jfk

[sebastiandaley]

i totally agree

im sure their pressence is godly

im just thinkin that u couldnt fight back thats all

[hiddenoath]

yea that would really suck but still ya gotta admit that guy was lucky lol

[nickxv]

love the drums in the beginning.

[idiumbo]

Why did the awesome have to break up?!?!

[cknollmeyer]

apparently, they talked as much as the last few seconds of the blood on our hands video, sob

[BruteForceFilms]

this performance right here is pretty much my life right now, metaphorically speaking

[BruteForceFilms]

can u tell me where i can listin to them?

[BruteForceFilms]

hell yaaaaa

[tobiaspunk]

haha listen to jesse trying to talk about the song but sebastien talks over him...

RIP DFA 1979

[ilovelowez]

wtf?

[willywonka091]

???

[IRideFixedBeard]

Hahaha, Sebastien was probably kidding around when he gave Jesse the finger in this video, if that was meant for him....

You know how sebastien is....with his dick jokes...

[DFA1981]

Actually,it wasnt that they didnt like each other,rather than a case of a lot of time spent together gigging plus their musical tastes were starting to change...plus i give friends the finger all the time lol its just a joke XD

[Soniclife91]

does seb give jesse the finger at 3:12?

[zagnash]

wow i think he mightve.

thats intense

[DFA1981]

Watch it over again,he doesnt give him the finger lol

[assitch6]

bass tone = scary

drum = fucking great.

class tune as well.

[MarineDelta1]

2:50 That guy is giving Sebastien's crotch WAY TOO MUCH LOVE.

[MarineDelta1]

WO0T DFA

[nickboyroy]

They rock

[fodera6]

I opened for them at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS back in early 2004 and they were the nicest guys, especially the bassist. He took the time to answer my questions about his rig. (He has a clean stack and a dirty stack.) They were a great band!

[zagnash]

i laughed so hard when jesse was trying to say "that was our new single (romantic rights)" and seb keeps cutting him out

[DeathFromAbove1985]

rick 4003 aren't THAT expensive. the 4006 is though.

JFK's is a custom rewired model from 1978.

i really like his gibson grabber before though.

[DeathFromAbove1985]

edit: actually i just asked my dad how much he paid for both of his. i thought they were like 500$ less.

[HlokGol]

but they're well worth it man

and yeah, definitely a rickenbacker

[palfguy]

for a schmuck who doesn't make money from his music they are

[TheCama]

great band.

[electro2k]

sebastien is sick ... love ya

[Harps0578]

He gets the distortion from his amp and his rewired bass, he doesnt use any pedals to get the distortion sound

[dtla1730]

What's the name of this song?

[friponX]

Romantic Rights

[dtla1730]

Thanks for that.

[ThomasTerrors]

Does anyone know how he gets that bass sound. It's awesome.

[liambliss]

Distortion and chorus, and then later on he uses a wah too.

[nobrainnobrain69]

I don't hear any chorus effects?

[liambliss]

It's definitely there, to thicken it all up. You can hear it better it the studio version.

[DanielTheFisherman]

i always thought of it more as a flanger effect.

[DanielTheFisherman]

i thought it was a flanger

[dtla1730]

hahahaha Sorreh! I apologize to you! And you! lol

[seasick1600]

Proper top bobbins !!

[punkfan773]

i'm not in the habit of stepping on people to get where i want to.

[lovefrombelow1979]

epic

[paulopunkada]

They Rocks XD

[rajtherat]

lol that guy in the white shirt was grimacing when he was getting Sebastian's crotch in his face lol

[brendonwife]

ooooooooh fuck...they were amazing...I wish they're still around :-((((( **cries**

[QuickGetTheGun]

they were amazing..

[BulletGuy67]

they were the best!!!!R.I.P.

[punker]

shit :S:S:S

[guitarfreakist]

This makes me want to cry. Fuck I wish they could play again. Just one show, I don't care if they hate eachother.

[halfstring]

Sound mix is pretty decent. man, I wish they we're still around.

[mcgregorygrekz]

what is the name of this song??

[TrippyLantern]

Romantic Rights

[NBrown48]

i was at one of their gigs in sheffield and some guy climbed the speaker tower, got half naked and started dancing on it. well funny

[popekilroy]

but then said sorry to them for standing on their shoulders what a bloke

[popekilroy]

i was there he got soo pissed with the bloke that pulled the lead out of the mic it was a awsome show

[guitarguy950]

2:49 is the fucking funniest!!!! he like grabs the guys head

[DanielTheFisherman]

3:50 Is the BEST.

[DanielTheFisherman]

Yeah the label sued them. So I've read.

[jacobomg]

I like how the guy doesn't change facial expressions when Sebastian sticks his crotch in his face.

[ssjkillerkeith666]

<.< its just scratching with a heavy D petal

[pandainaforest]

That was incredibly sexy.

[coop78751]

well at least they sound good on the album

[DanielTheFisherman]

wtf they sound better live.

dallas with nin qotsa best concert EVEVYVRYEVvr

[enchente]

retard...you know nothing of playing live. go back and listen to nickleback where you belong you fuck. this shit is money. and can you imagine playing live shows knowing that you are never going to be able to continue the band project because some fucking douchbag named James Murhpey fucked you over!

[enchente]

"I'm not in the habit of stepping on people to get where I wanna go" but retard James Murphey (frontman of LCD Soundsystem) say their name (DFA - Death From Above) and snatched that shit like the fat pussy he is for his gay-ass record label, then they changed their name to DFA1979. The reason for the 1979 is that it comes from Sebastien Grainger's (drummer/vocalist) birth date. You don't know anything coop78numbersblahblahblah.

[coop78751]

listen eunuchente.. I don't know why you're so hostile. Pretty juvenile for a 27 year old. Anyway, they happen to be one of my favorite bands of all time. I just think this particular rendition of Romantic Rights, in this clip, sounds pretty bad.

Also, I have no idea what nickleback is.

[DanielTheFisherman]

A gay band that I myself wouldn't listen to so don't listen to it.

[DanielTheFisherman]

And it's also believed for being the year that appocolyose(I dont know how to spell it apparently) now! was released since it says "Death From Above" on a helicopter

[Trentesis12a]

Are you guys talking about the same James Murphy Im thinking about? The guitarist that was in Death and some other bands.

[Mazeraski]

PENIS FROM ABOVE

[stereoplastic]

hahahaha I love sebastian, who else do you know that face fucks people and swings from projectors

[DanielTheFisherman]

fuck that i would LOVE to get face humped by him!

that would be a hell of a story!

[onesunheard]

ohhhh you know he loved it

you didnt see him move at all did you?

[ravel]

I saw them with Nine Inch Nails two years ago and I regret that the sound setup that night was shit for them... I really like them a lot now and they're not playing anymore! :(

[neil4prez420]

I'M KILLING MYSELF...

[dizhum]

FUCK ME!!!

[opiumlady]

DFA 1979 Again ! please!!

[grabitgee]

Man, I wish I could've seen them live. That was one hot fucking performance.

[reveric2k]

i want to see this guys live in italy !!

[Calenwad]

good luck. they kinda arent a band

[pegusipower]

jfk doesnt even scratch live? hmm sampels must really pwn

but that feedback intro was sic

i wish i could do that

[DeathFromAbove1985]

man i'm pissed i'll never hear that looped synth intro again :(

[poltergijs]

and his plectrum is also used in many ways such as scraping te strings, and playing way too loud. lovely

[ALthekiller111]

wtf... like if it was so special!

[nickxv]

jesse doesn't use a distortion pedal. Just a crybaby wah. He get's his distortion from his amps and heads.

[battleatsea27]

Awesome band. Really amazing. Such a shame about them breaking up

[BMan5780]

They had crazy plans for their new stuff...what a shame

[scottybdoomtree]

They broke up.

[1979Sleep]

i love how he just grabs some kid in the audiance and screams in his face... r.i.p DFA1979

[shm0]

its distortion :P

either from a pedal or from his amp

[MakeMyDayGirl]

How and Why does his bass make that noise? xD So awesome. I'm going to miss them hardcore...MSTRKRFT better live up to their legacy.

[MrNatt]

AWESOME quality

[wilnosux]

sweet

[Texan8]

GREAT !!
