the kills - cat claw

[Laumincey]

I love them so much. They are so underrated. They deserve so much more attention. I know they don't give a shit but still.

[TheQuietEye]

Forgot to say ..... we have tickets to Dec 3rd at the O2 Brixton. Eat your heart out!

I will be the white-haired-and-bearded guy at the back in all-black, trying hard to stay awake beyond my usual Ovaltine and Radio Four bedtime. I am sure it will be worth it.

[totheeastuk]

Perfect advert for smoking is cool.

[TheQuietEye]

I must see The Kills before I die. All other priorities rescinded.

[KillsAndCandyCanes]

@TheQuietEye I saw The Kills live back in May when I only knew Blood Pressures and their singles. It was INCREDIBLE of course, but I'm kicking myself for not knowing all their songs before I went...

[TheQuietEye]

@KillsAndCandyCanes I am memorising them one by one. I was already halfway there ..... Black Balloon, Last day of magic, Sour cherry, U R A Fever ... must do some more revision. There may be a test.

[strokemyarcticmuse]

I missed the Kills in Sydney

I fucking died

And what the shit, this crowd is looking significantly unenthusiastic

[JackWMS14]

@strokemyarcticmuse Just found out they played Melbourne a week or so ago, gutted!

[TheKillsFever]

The Kills are absolutly the greatest band in the world.

[choutax]

Did ... did she smokes... on stage??

ok, she is Epic

[black000pink]

oh my god... i still remember for 2 years - she was in cologne with "the dead weather" and she was incredibly good. she is such a powerful person with a strong attitude and a beautiful dark voice. she is that, what a good musician has to be. damn kesha and lady gaga, alison mosshart is much better than these overdressed geese. authentical and stunning mixed with pure sexiness. she needn't to be dressed as a whore to blow mens' mind. she and some other exeptions are the hope of music today!!

[mork963]

Love it, thanks! :-))

[DerechoUVXal]

OMG this song reminds a funny ... (even kinky ) part of my life haha :D

[aliciagwarmeg]

Alison IS GOING TO GO A LONG WAY WITH HER VOCALS AND ON

STAGE PRESENCE

[Alphabex8]

@aliciagwarmeg She already has, champ. she's been in numerous bands and collaborations. she's been an icon for some time. 

[ZigZagWanderer]

"Keep on your mean side" is a milestone in rock history, full stop !!!

[circusteeth]

No one is dancing! How lame.

[leenuke21]

I love her.

[PaulHartXYZ]

I wonder where the original live video is that was used to make this.

I'd actually like to see the raw video.

[MythicShot]

smoking aint sexy no more !

[jamaldeemer]

@MythicShot is too!

[AgothInnCloth]

If that was here in the UK the crowd would be jumping about all over the place.

[MicahBuzan]

i dig it

[megzilla3]

I don't care what anyone says, The Kills are pretty raw, but that's what makes them so good: what people like is a damn they don't give.

They do whatever they like, and it just so happens other people like it, too...therefore, they are the farthest things from sellouts in my eyes.

[LilSayo]

Well everyone needs money. What do u want?

[failedthedrugtest]

These motherfuckers sold out. They're music is in the ''Gossip girl''-soundtrack and also being used for armani perfume commercials.

[bioken007]

@failedthedrugtest Fuck off hipster

[megzilla3]

@bioken007 i meant to vote up, but i was laughing so hard at the failedthedrugtest that i hit vote down.

my apologies!

[jexvil]

@failedthedrugtest

so what? how many bands sold out their records to others for money..????? MJ, Rolling Stones, Beatles...

-.- sheesh.. inform yourself before open your mouth.

[failedthedrugtest]

@jexvil These guys profiled themselves as real raw rockers, pure and uncommercial. But yeah, the ''raw'' image was just a commercial trick. It was hip a year or two ago.

[gypsiecat1]

@failedthedrugtest nobody gives a shit what you say :) you have as much power to convince as a crushed bug.

[Morg844]

@failedthedrugtest Oh sell outs!! how could they! guess fuck the fact that their fantastic musicians, better stop listening to them then, can't have sell outs even though they might be more about the music then anyone in the industry right now.... but whatev

[theotherspice]

@failedthedrugtest pretty sure you understand by now that you're wrong, but just wanted to say that Alison's actually a gossip girl fan and also everyone seems to be stealing music instead of buying it (including you, I'm assuming- you just seem like that type of person, to be honest) so they don't get much money from record sales...

[DaMJBM]

they're creative, authentic rockers, and she's so sexy.......the whole package

[AdiLenoir]

pure punk

[MerveGreen]

fucking good !

[snoopydance71]

whatever they got,i want it!

[wendyguf]

I'd love to hear the original audio of this video. It's got to be rawer and sharper than the studio version.

[Condestruction]

If she wasn't too young to be Jim Morrison's offspring, I would really start to wonder.... :)

[dbdeg88]

@Condestruction So would I. Especially considering some of her work with The Dead Weather. "No Hassle Night" sounds like the female reincarnation of Jim.

[girlofostoja]

Wunderbar, die Wunderschône aus dem Wunderland.

[seeyouinthlittleroom]

@girlofostoja ja total,

[macciocco]

potrei svenire.

[LittleMissGrunge]

Soo freshing to see that there is still soo good bands left

[ciroac30]

@LittleMissGrunge yeah, fuck al that people that say the best was in the past, there was always bad and good music,

[Yourehigh]

C'est vrai qu'elle déchire :D

[MelodieMalicieuse]

La chanson qui m'a fait aimer les Kills

[wawaciel]

GEIL

[MrBluelou1]

i just wish hendrix was alive to see his heart taken to another level and them jam together.she's soooo fcking cooooool x

[MrBluelou1]

make all women like miss mosshart.please god =0)

[MrBluelou1]

hendrix from start to finish x

[bopka45]

The Kills are one of the most overwhelmingly pretentious self important hipster cop-outs in the "indie scene".

That being said, this song kicks all kinds of ass!

[Amandabearish]

@bopka45 GO.. fuck yourself. they are better then you your just being a jealous fuck- tard... :P yes... FUCK-TARD!

[MrBluelou1]

@bopka45 they arent pretetious ther just dong what artists do; performing.good job,good show =0) boing

[marilynjeanthequeen]

I like all their stuff. The are punk and rock and blues and basic. They fucking rock the house.

[sarahXblink06]

amazing song! can't stop listening to it.

[MrBluelou1]

@sarahXblink06 coolest girl on earth.gives me faith in women =0)

[kweenstars]

i like how the guitar and the uuuuhhhh goes together. love the kills.

[shaorannn]

COME ON SUGAR

[MegaLuigie]

cool xD

[Skelet0nka]

pretty =)

[rocketdmz]

japan catv video

my 1st kills exp!

very cool!!

[Maulwurfn]

Superklasse - She´s so cool !!!

[desasterz]

With the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Kills, I keep thinking... Wait, their just copying Sonic Youth, but then you listen to SY and it sounds very personalised to Lee, Kim and Thurston... They just share taste of musical mood I supose. Their not acting Sonic Youth as a parody... And Alison performs more like maybe a Patti Smith daughter more than Kim

[demelumeestermad]

this is so killer! love hince's style of guitar, her voice and the image. its cool how they keep it as basic as they can in terms of sound slowly stripping it down album by album. a great movement in music!

[idiosynkrass]

well,that is a cool song!

[desasterz]

Hynce the Genious aranges them, Alison delivers them! There is no need for anyone else in the band, these are self sufficiant and their great!

[demelumeestermad]

perfect ;)

[dharmaluvsu]

I want to be Allison Mosshart

[0cerpintaxt0]

I wish she was my girlfriend(i think) ^^,

[foogrrrl]

@dharmaluvsu

you can just be you,that should also be good.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

I wnat to fuck Allison Mosshart

[ass2ass]

She's so fuckin sexy.

[Joey7321]

@ass2ass Smokin', but like a dragon maybe. I can't see where she is sexy here. I hate it when people adore other people just because they are famous, doh.

[TheKonstantinLevin]

@Joey7321 she is definetly sexy man...

[Youwontbutyoumight]

Everything about this duo screams legend. Simply awesome.

[DavidBaatzsch]

sounds like the pretenders a little bit

[xKruspeFanx]

Gotta love The Kills ♥

[Rocknrollsnol]

fuck i LOVE her

[rooCkgrrl]

; ) !!

[chellevis]

Oh god. Do fuck off...

[lilrockgoddess]

don't be a hater now..

[chellevis]

Actually that was a bit of a rash reaction. Sorry I swore. I just think...oooh stop looking at other things and listen to the song.

And I looked at other things and forgot the song.

Ho hum...

[Rocknrollsnol]

don't be so goddamn SOFT now woopwoop

[revoltegirl]

URa Fever and Sour Cherry it's their best songs i find

[mama0of0flatulence]

i think midnight boom is their best. their early stuff is good, but repetitive.

[Cthulhussama]

Come on... O_o

[xnaperhottiex]

kind of agree. as their albums kept going it gets more and more sophisticated in terms of lyrics as well as the arrangement of music. more and more stripped. even though midnight boom is more electro than no wow and keep on your mean side. i think lyrically, no wow is my favorite though with midnight boom at close second.

[foofighter1337]

I wish Allison would marry me... really I do....

Smoking is hot. At least when she does it ;)

[iluvjackwhitemost]

where have i heard this song before? i love it! and it was uploaded on my birthday!!!! thanks man

[2hiptobesquare]

how bout u jus fuckin listen to the music and shut up about smokin. i dont see u guys up there playin music u probly cant.

[Apopoc]

Hey, here's something no one think of: maybe they some because they're smokers.

[fatoldsun85]

i would be ok with it if they were holding a joint, at least that's making a real and valid point...but a nicotine stick.. bleah

[ThisIsCleverUsername]

what's 'cool' in holding a joint???.. why not bottle of vodka or beer. cigarettes are cool and joints are for hippies.

[gaggy0210]

damn she smokes like fuck!

[fatoldsun85]

whats up with these "indie" chicks and dudes making a cigarette part of their image. so fuckin tired of the same looks

[xxgAggYchiZZyxx]

maybe there just addicted lolzz

[banananoodlesoup]

smoking makes you cool.

the end.

[cuntcow6]

An ex-girlfriend got me into The Kills... she was totally crazy, but she was the coolest chick I ever had.

[avstamo]

and she has a nice taste in music apparently ;)

[spineboy]

That's just 'cause her last boyfriend liked them - so thank her ex boyfriend

[marilyne363]

pour les avoir vu sur scène en première partie de Franz Ferdinand je peux dire que ça vaut vachement le coup!!!!!!!!!!!! that's rock'n'roll

[Zacoska]

the kills are fuken awesome as fk

[bigcyhutch]

These fuckers rock.

[artistsandbox]

@bigcyhutch the rockers fuck*

[boredxcrap]

LOL punkrockfeller xD

They could have made the crowd seem a bit enthusiastic.

Great song!!

[punkrockefeller]

she smokes?

[mimolduss23]

like a chimney.

[siempreboricua08]

righht? i have yet to see one picture of her where shes NOT holding a cigarette between her fingers.

[hoorayforBG]

Everything about this song and video is just so tremendously cool and sexy.

[chocolatecoveredtoes]

this song is probably my favorite(or one of them) by the kills. I like their earlier songs the best. I still think that midnight boom is really good though, but it can't beat keep on your mean side.

[zudummzum]

best song ever

[UsernameAwesome]

awesome song

[bagbahbag]

I can't believe it went from this to songs like "Cheap and Cheerful". Lame.

[MeatFilledPastry]

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. :>

[chwyatt2005]

Its Sonic Youth, circa mid 1980s. But in my book thats a compliment

[chippewagreenx]

No.

[mijles]

her voice and the musik, it really grooves, cant say that too often nowadays..

[UsernameAwesome]

i like her dance...  DANCING!!!

[superbusetcie841203]

yes rock and roll

good girls

i love you

[xnoelle25]

definitely my favorite track on keep on your mean side

[stephaniealexandra]

lol i really like their music, but it's so simple. it's too bad that they aren't that much better, because she definitely has the rockstar personality persona down...

[seanmft]

give it a couple years. What do you want to bet the kills become a future classic?

[hallucinogenicme]

we call it lo-fi

[failedthedrugtest]

Yeah, do u want to become like RHCP or something?

[failedthedrugtest]

*them to

[ssu4kaa]

come on, sugar :D

brilliant.. they are amazingly talented.

[twotwelvefilms]

rock and roll

[XxIrene456xX]

i <3 them

[gaara94170]

ragarde sur internet fuck de fake

[redheadphones]

which album is this from?

[totenkopfdivision]

The first one "Keep On Your Mean Side". I saw them several days ago and this was the first song they did on their encore.

[dugo01]

I love you Alison

[Orangeblud21]

this song is the greatest :)

[sonicjay007]

a scar,.. marks,..the kills..ahh..

[XJefkuX]

The Kills at their best!! Just love it!!!

[eccentricfakeup]

[matywatts]

Raw and real You have to love this

[fannykouros]

I love this song. I'm french & rock'. I am in Pariis =)

[ZigZagWanderer]

timeless ! This will still sound great in 50 years or more

[notsovelvet]

the kills at their best.nothing fancy just raw.

[MissAsssnatch]

this song touches my vagina

[freetorain]

that was groovy :)

and

well good4u

[kevsickboy]

cool! can i? x

[MrBluelou1]

@MissAsssnatch this song touches my soul =0)

[Swannou]

One of the best indie rock band ever.

This song is so powerfull.

I love Midnight Boom , so different and so cool.

[kelbygene]

There comming to Austin for SXSW. I will lie, cheat, and steal to see them live.

[deserteddrake]

sexy

[15h0tmy531f]

this is kind of cool, if anything we need more artists like the kills.

but.... if you don't agree that they are TOTAL fucking posers you probably are a fucking idiot yourself...

again if you disagree, trust me you are an idiot

[garagerockermadrid]

this song is electrifying!

[Songwriter66]

As a girl even i have 2 say that W is hot!

[kazuyajap]

cig holding and dyke posture are so overdone but that's ok cause that's indie rock... and that's The Kills ya know =] God that song is pure adrenaline!

[lexxlecrisisIII]

ur a complete idiot.

they aren't indie at all. i just hurled at ur accurateness. if anything, they're garage rock. and VV has been around before anything of such was overdone so go kill urself and ur pretentious comment. ur wrong.

[kazuyajap]

good luck on your anger management therapy

[HamSTAR1986]

hey he liked them, isnt that all that matters... and same u need some anger management.

[tsuuki]

it's okay to perpetuate something you like even if you weren't the first one to think of it fuck head

[ZigZagWanderer]

Great band, can't wait to see them live again.

[bruim]

VV, wow! i have no words. she's so hot!!!

[susanaferenc]

oh, kmon ppl, it's fuckin great! they're amazing, and vv is the sexiest female in indie rock! damn!

[crackaasscracka]

[KageToHikari]

Never seen this video before. Now I'm feeling lucky.

[lexxlecrisisIII]
