The Gaslight Anthem - Old White Lincoln

[TatoMome]

The voice kinda remind me Brandon Flowers (The Killers).

[Nafopwnstar]

@TatoMome agreed, i prefer this though to be honest :)

[SashaSacrifice]

I heard this song inside of Hot Topic today O.O

[MadMotionsProduction]

@SashaSacrifice

Because the people at Hot Topic generally have decent tastes in music and play what they want?

[pntbllrspdr]

this sounds sooooooooooo much like The Killers

[BasketCaseSaint]

I think this song is about me...xD

[TheQueenArts]

This is the best fucking song I've heard since '95

[xiuxinguete]

Love it!!

[stormeeshouting]

Dimestore Saints <3

[Indreams97]

I love these guys so much!!! I have seen them once, wish they would come back to New England!!!

[TheWrongTone112]

59 Sound is an amazing album. Fuck YEAHHHHHHHH

[hospitalmusic1]

the second verse of this song is the greatest thing i have ever heard

[Jackc976]

@hospitalmusic1 the whole freaking song is the greatest!

[MyXxladyxx]

i think its cool

[BubbaWatsonFan27]

parts of this remind me of the cure.

[mclovin22898]

I remember when they barely had a thousand view (:

[AtheistAltar]

Man, I've been reading the comment war about them and the Killers on here. It's pretty simple: Ever since Hot Fuss, The Killers have been doing a more Springsteen-esque type of thing. Flowers' vocals are influenced by Springsteen. That's where the similarity comes into play.

[JonissnMusic]

best song ever <3 love it :)

[Daroga1]

you know somthing funny...

I sail the tallships every year and Our crew is required to wear High top Sneakers when we sail the Oceans.

Lol

[rousch99]

Trying to decide which is better.. Old Whit Lincoln or Wooderson.

[skullskating]

You got your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos :)

[BenBeatleSide]

Thumps up if you think Gaslight Anthem is one of the best bands ever!

[AphexFilms]

Thumbs up if your watching in 2011

[Sevenseas2000]

Check out this song from the band Boxrich. Boxrich - Pretty Women or Boxrich - Mexico

[kellimcgarry]

Hightop sneakers and your sailor tattoos :)

[alpacinolmv]

Close your eyes, listen the song, and let you go to your beautiful place. Special

[omeone7]

The bass and guitar line in this song sound very similar to the one in Just Like Heaven from The Cure.

[SynthMan18]

@omeone7 i agree with you on that. imo i think that Gaslight Anthem are a modern-day version band of The Cure in their own way.

[davyroppaslf1]

@SynthMan18  mate i made that link too . thought it was just me . the jangly guitar does it . what a great band : )

[wsellars1018]

still think the singers voice is different than the killers......but just a little.

[pooch210]

this song wants me to up jump the anti and start jive turkin'

[crujones80]

Rock is very much still alive it's just changed it's name to The Gaslight Anthem

[ryan1234821]

Their music makes me feel nostalgic about a time when I wasn't even alive yet...

[heightssurfer]

@ryan1234821 dude, yes

[7vgitz]

@ryan1234821 dude, epic talk. :) i feel that way about the 60's, when i listen to my dads music, and imagine what it was like to be in the Navy when he was in. your post reminds me of Garden State, when he said, "its like your homesick for a place that doesnt exist..."

[danielibertine]

generic crap

[OrganizedChaosInc]

@danielibertine Generic douchebag

[randomvoice1]

Just becasue there is not a keyboard sound does not mean they do not sound similair???If so many people are reminded of the Killers by these guys, then that means they sound similair. Thats a factual observation, frickin idiots! And Cold Play became popular becasue they were so good. Pop music means POPular, if your good, you become POPular. Cold play is a vert unique band just as these guys are. Both very talented and great to listen too!

[cacaface302]

i dont get why everyone says they sound like the killers! the killers sold out and now sing gay pop they dont sound anything alike

[mpgotten]

Awesome Song ! Just found that Band a couple days ago but I really like their sound ,it's kinda Bruce Springsteen in my opinion !

[heightssurfer]

@mpgotten YES, they play with bruce and they live right nearby im glad to see new jersey producing some good stuff again

[ligerlily100]

Shaking like a leaf on the corner of life....

I love that line!



[penguindredg]

Why the hell is this dumb argument still going on?

[Deckerswill]

The Killers= Commercial Crap! Gaslight Anthem= Real Music!

[TheMadbass]

Sooo much better than the Killers.

[WhitestNegros]

@TheMadbass The killers have always had a primarily keyboard sound, Gaslight has never had that...how are you going to compare the two? 

[Amadyle]

@WhitestNegros The voice of the singer mate;)

[TheMadbass]

@WhitestNegros I wasn't the one who made the comparison. If you'd read below my comment you'd see that. Also, I was just stating who I like more. Nonetheless, you could compare Chopin to Slayer if you want. Music is a matter of opinion. I stated mine.

[MrDasToastbrot]

what are "The Killers" xD ??

[paddehadde]

total killers ripoff 0/10

[FangGuy201]

The Gaslight Anthem sound way better than The Killers (And the vocals don't sound similar at all!!!)

[darkasailnt2]

Esteban Gonzalez February 8 at 5:01pm

not much time for me but still got alot to say its been bothering me for a while so ill come out with it... i like samantha the ashlees sister one i see a patern dont you? Stephen Duran February 14 at 7:15pm Report

yeah u keep goin younger in the swansons Esteban Gonzalez February 25 at 11:07pm

well so do you

[screamingjesus23]

Today I found out about them by this song.

They are just awesome :)

[TheKempoguy]

I love this track, the only song I can play when it's freezing outside, just cruising down the motorway in the cold sun and this track just makes it feel like a summers evening :D

[Three6CloghessyA]

why does this entire album have this echo effect on every song, and its only this album

[keir9923]

@Three6CloghessyA the album is called "the '59 sound" for a reason.

[asonjaryg]

I remember my grandparent's picking me up from elementary school in their old white Lincoln. It was new back then. In the early 80's. Good times.

[TheDean04]

Wicked Cure sound to this song, I love this band!

[DustyAndPistolPete]

Gonna be the best band of 21st Century!

[ScottEff123]

just raped the reply button :D

[TheRaf888]

make me happy during all time, thanks...

[recobalegend20]

simply amazing.

great track.

[AmphibMax]

this song sounds like something the foxboro hot tubs would do more so then the killers. Bands like this are just giving a proverbial shout out to the old school rockabilly of the 50's when rock was truly about rebellion.

[Lmastro1221]

@AmphibMax Very true. 

[dcdude171]

@AmphibMax foxboro hot tubs is greenday .... isnt it ?

[SparklyyMegan]

@dcdude171

It's Green Day, but with other band members... they usually play with Foxboro Hut Tubs when they're done touring.

[TheAfroman311]

Can yall just change your tampons and listen for a second cuz in this song there is really a slight killers feel, and can everybody here just realize that comparing them to the Killers isn't a bad thing? its saying that they're really good so how bout everybody calms down and enjoys some excellent music. I personally wouldnt have listened to them if my buddy told me this song had kinda a killers feel to it but it goes way beyond that so just chill and enjoy the 2 great bands!

[kikyouwuv]

@TheAfroman311 Take your own advice, shut up and listen to the music instead of leaving a whole summary on why we should change our "tampons".

[gb302704]

This song is great and I agree with WinterInJapan. Its really helping me now!

[buryyourashesuk]

TGA are like a million times better than the Killers!

The Killers suck.

[WinterInJapan]

This song continues to make me happy during the tough times.

Such soul is rarely found in music anymore.

[mikenumber35]

if anyone is interested check out my new and only video of gaslight's song Old White Lincoln. just looking for some open ears to listen, comment, and rate. thanks

[MrPoisonsky]

great lyrics. my band started writing our own stuff, and then i heard you guys and was like "crap, im a freakin wannabe of you guys" and to the whole killers similarity, i see the resemblance, and i love them, but you guys are orriginal.

-keep it real

[joaoluizsn]

This is one of my favorite songs by them.

[FGPapi]

They make me have faith on music, rock`n roll and humanity in general :)

[EforEMILY]

can we just STOP talking about whether TGA are similar to the Killers or not, and talk instead of the awesomeness of this song and its lyrics!?

my favorite song off The '59 Sound, no doubt.

[daphagirl021]

Oh wow i always thought this song was by the killers but the Gaslight anthem is way better than them i feel super bad! lol

[jmulhall86]

is maith liom gaslight anthem

[GenerationLost92]

i can see why ppl compare the two and me myself like them both but TGA a little more lol...theyre both talented bands

[Casettejongen]

@GenerationLost92 Would you care to explain the comparison to me? I've been seeing it on practically every TGA video and I really don't see it :s

[GenerationLost92]

@Casettejongen some of the old killers song are similiar i would say

[Sportplaner]

That is the only song you can compare to the Killers, I think. All other songs from "TGA" are completely different.

[CaptainOscarrr]

I see the comparisons to the killers, and often they do have a similar soundm but I don;t think they're trying to be them at all. If they were then yes, the killers were be better, but for two separate bands I like I them both.

[Wayne434]

The Killers are you guys handicappers or what,

their roots are deep set in punk rock, and I don't know if you noticed but the lead singer sounds EXACTLY like Bruce Springsteen a fuckin great songwriter in his own right

The Killers sing Mr.Brightside what the fuck is the meaning to that song, please listen closely to the lyrics of The Gaslight Anthem they have.......oh shit what's that word....OH YEAH!! substance... end of story

[FriendlyCacti]

@Wayne434 fag

[boiledhooker]

I think The Gaslight Anthem is everything The Killers try to be, but they fall short

[007jim69]

The Killers are also very good and Iron Maiden rules, by the way

[atlbirdsaregreat]

there a complete copy of the killers except for the fact that they suck

[seanyboyrebel]

@atlbirdsaregreat

you're talking rubbish, if anyone has influenced GA it's the Boss. These are more of a traditional rock/blues band. Better than the killers for my money, just an opinion tho

[maxfence]

gaslight anthem are punkrock, killers are not!

two completeley different bands, they dont even sound similar in my opinion

[ali26101]

fuck the killers in compairson too tga

they're good, but have nothing on these guys (L)

[WVtackle72]

they sound exactly alike you dumb fuck

[ImOutsideTheBox]

errr they sound NOTHING like the killers to me, but they probably would if all you listened to was a load of mainstream music, and those are probably the types of people think ALL rock bands sound the same, in which case they should just stick with their commercial over-promoted stuff and leave TGA out of the arguement :)

[ChicenFriedPork]

@ImOutsideTheBox actually if you have ever listened to the killers any one in the right mind would say that the vocals sound the same but not the style of music.

[jelboucher]

@ImOutsideTheBox you are definitely not outside the box, but inside the everything-commercial-is-autom­atically-crap-box, which is quite narrowminded in my opinion... For a moment I thought: The Killers went punk? But then I started to note some differences. The lead singers' voices are quite similar. And the fact that tons of other people also heard that but you didn't, does not mean that ALL those other people are mistaken, but that you are not able to hear a similarity that clearly is there.

[ImOutsideTheBox]

@jelboucher well I cant even remember when I made that comment, but I didnt realise my arrogance at the time, so your right

[bazcrouch]

Why are so many people getting their thongs in a twist about the gas light anthem being compared to the killers??? Being compared to the killers aint a bad thing. This is a awesome song, get over it!

[PCcleary123]

New Age Bruce...brilliant..just saw them at ROOO..so sick

[the123freak]

the bass line is exactly the same as the cure's just like heaven.....

[PunkRockNinja9237]

@the123freak Yikes, it really is the same. I wouldn't have noticed unless you pointed it out--thanks.

[properdiglett]

OMG is this The Killers? Lol are you serious? These sound nothing like The Killers, fuck me.

[1Pantikian]

@properdiglett well the lead vocals do sound like the killers, but better

[billkazb]

I would say Bruce Springsteen plays a larger role in influencing this band than the Killers. Both great bands

[Tunnelof]

Great album

[AndMyBow]

Oh god, why does everyone keep comparing them to The Killers? I hadn't even noticed any similarity at all. But now that I'm thinking about it, the singer sounds similar to Brandon Flowers. Like their voice/singing style. But before I'd noticed this, he just sounded like the singer of Gaslight Anthem. Thanks everyone! Ha.

But anyway, their voices sound slightly similar... But other than that I really see no resemblance? They're completly different. Different style of music and everything.

[sumdudeiscool]

Whatever. Fuck all you all, because Gaslight's coming to San Jo july 22, and I'll have them to my motherfucking self!! AAAAAAAWOOOOO!!!!!

[gesichtzeigen]

doesn't anyone here hear that this is a just like heaven the cure rip off? lovely song though.

[vansbrand]

@gesichtzeigen it's almost similar, but I don't think they just ripped the cure like that. it's a very common melody. sorry bad english

[tjyff]

OMG is this the Killers?

[rompompuss123]

@tjyff obviously not. :L :P

[em0keksi]

lovelovelove :)

[porkandbeans08]

I am sick of hearing people compare The Gaslight Anthem to The Killers. I like the killers and everything, but they have nothing at all on The Gaslight Anthem. They do not even desreve to be mentioned in the same sentence as The Gaslight Anthem. Yes, they have had more commercial success, but who cares, The Gaslight Anthem is the best band that is out now a days. The Gaslight Anthem > The Killers

[Harnas420]

im sick of people saying they sounds too much like springsteen. listen to the killers' "when you were young" and then springsteens "born to run" they almost identical!!!

[tim4x]

i wish the new album was this good.

[aliceladylike]

I don't think they're like The Killers. They got their own style.

[eagles581pistons3]

@aliceladylike this sounds like sam's town an album by the killers just slightly tho

[eoc27]

yeah, they sound like the killers, but thats a good thing....

these lyrics are insane:D

[Axellarssson]

i love this song!!

[Muhu08]

yes, the thing about the killers singer I would totally assist :D

[SynesterBlack]

This such a great song.

[portyMD]

I had an old white lincoln

[s2236]

Anyone else think he's SLIGHTLY out of tune in the verse?

[fwoosh]

punx

[s2236]

Looks like I'm the only one with a musical ear.

[Astronaut890]

I guess the voice similarities are there, but the genres are completely different. The Gaslight Anthem makes real, old school, emotional music. The Killers make some day electronic new age shit.

[Astronaut890]

and of course I mean 'gay', not 'day'

[S0rr0w93]

love the base-line to this. screw it, the whole damn song! :D

[schulerbob]

Killers? Only on the Killers album where the Killers aped Springsteen. These guys are classic bar rock in the tradition of The 'Mats, Marah and more recently the hold steady.

[foxborogreennetwork]

@schulerbob love all those bands except the killers man i didnt think anyone new marah there epic

[juldit93]

hurricane wird fät

[pikapepino]

Dude!!! I also heard this song yesterday and I thought WOW sounds like brandon!

[Astronaut890]

except The Gaslight Anthem is amazing and the killers are faggots.

[DutchMileyLover]

I heard this on the radio yesterday and I was like: OMYGOD THIS IS SO KILLERISH Brandon should make a cover of this. Or they should do a cover off the killers. Eighter way, I'm listening to more of gaslightanthem songs now. I's freaky how much their voices are alike!

[PrincessLouby]

Surely if they sound so similer a cover would just sound exactly the same?! :)

[chefdstair]

this is garage greaser punk

[juliorolex]

guys, no matter if they sound like killers or not.

THEY ARE AMAZING!!! :)

[TTUBBtelevision]

I heard this song on altnation and fell in love with it. My favorite band is the killers, i absolutely adore them. and i never thought they sounded the same till i read these comments. but he does kind of sound like old bflo circa hot fuss. voice is recorded the same way. idk if i think the songs sound that similar though.

[seriess1]

the killers? brandon flowers?

[ThisIsLukePi]

This is the band that gives me hop for music in the next decade. The album 59 sound is the greatest piece of new music ive heard for years... I love you all, happy 2010 people...

[Udername45]

This guy's voice sounds like the guy from the Killers in this song.

[ihcchibm]

like this song..lindsay lohan recomended it on twitter

[IxLOVExFRANKxIERO]

iii love gaslight anthem! since before it was cool to. (:

yeah i deffinately hear the killers but g.a. is totally their own thing.

great expectations, too. i dance with a hairbrush in front of my mirror. that's how you know it's good.

[JPanimefreak]

hey they sound like the killers

kooool haha

i like the killers

[sharapova4eva]

I agree with people saying that the singer sounds like Brandon Flowers, hmm this song is ok actually.

Btw Lindsay Lohan recommended this on her twitter. :)

[patrickkcore]

this band is amazing. When my brother was still here in Chicago I wasn't into them as much as I am now. When he left to the army it reminds me of him. Werid how his stuff works

[cjnoteboom]

they remind me of the national

[vancouver56]

You can't compare The Gaslight Anthem and The Killers. The killers suck. Gaslight anthem is good. theres a difference. and they're Genre of music is totally different. If you don't believe me check out their album sink or swim.

[adoooresEdward]

the singer sounds like brandon flowers^^

but the song is good(:

[uLoveCG]

thats exactly what i thought

[WizzMasterZero]

they have been compared to bruce springstein by many music critics. and his voice does have the same deep echo as brandon flowers. fuck man..

[uLoveCG]

you must be deaf lbz900 if you cant hear the similarity between The Gaslight Anthem and The Killers. Most people that love this band also love the killers.

[vancouver56]

The Gaslight Anthem can't be compared to The Killers. Killers sucks and gaslight anthem would agree with me. Benny was interviewed and there tired of people comparing them to the killers.

[swiftyizbest]

there music isn't no where like the killers but his voice is abit like a a rough version and Brandon flowers

[ThisIsLukePi]

Just much better cos flowers is a total cunt

[swiftyizbest]

haha true hate the stupid twat

[skatepunkzero]

@vancouver56 I agree, and they sound nothing like the killers to me they sound like Bruce Springstein crossed with the bouncing souls and a bit of social d in their

[metallistxace]

@vancouver56 1. The Killers don't suck. They've sold out their fair share. 2. They compare them because of their vocals. They sound similar. If I didn't listen to Gaslight Anthem the way I do, I'd probably confuse them too.

[sgtxin]

@metallistxace The first time I heard them I thought it was The Killers cause they do sound alike but I like the bad way better

[AlPinski]

@metallistxace

the killers suck.

[neontiger1995]

@metallistxace I'd confuse them too if I didn't listen to The Killers, like I do now. Your right vocals are almost the same.

[LawnMowerfromHell]

@metallistxace Come on... this is a gaslight anthem song. You shouldnt praise any other song to heaven then theirs. To praise the killers, go to one of their videos.

[LawnMowerfromHell]

@metallistxace Come on... this is a gaslight anthem song. You shouldnt praise any other song to heaven then theirs. To praise the killers, go to one of their videos.

[genielove101]

@vancouver56 maybe but I personally like both of them and the killers are just as good

[blackout567]

@vancouver56

i love the killers! but this band is really good too. ;P

[lilcutewolf]

@blackout567 glad some one else thinks like me, i like them both too!

[Soixante366]

His voice resembles that of the Killer's lead singer; however, the first time I heard it I thought it was Bruce Springstein.

[cheyluvznj]

They are really good, i love the lyrics too >.>

[chrstphrmunoz]

i love this song, its awesome

[Jelliiiooooo]

They sorta sound like the killers. 0_o

[cheyluvznj]

that's what i said! but they do, good thing i like the killers and the gaslight antem. O.o
