hahaha. people commenting are so stupid. this is how rock is supposed to sound. and bands are supposed to actually have a stage presence. there's nothing wrong with the singer. he's just got a shit load of energy and looks like a bad ass up there.
@LazyBiebsStopMotion for real. He must stage dived 3 or 4 times a show. he did when he was in vegas and i saw him. Great stage presence. they were only the opening act and they might of outclassed the main act of The Black Keys...
@mojaven61 yeah dude! i saw them in milwaukee. i love their stage presence and they sound amazing live.
i also thought the black keys were amazing. they're both two of my favorite bands. i do agree that cage's stage presence is much better. i loved seeing both of them! but i just couldn't believe how much energy they all have.
That is a dead crowd. And Cage the elephant is a band that lives for the thrill of a crazy crowd. they play music for u and all they ask is u to show ur enjoyment.
I've heard them live in concert before. They were really good live then, but I wouldn't doubt that they would suck sometimes. I'm going again at the end of this month.
@Rhysification1 Some concerts they seem like they performed fucking miles out of their mind, Im sure every now and then they just drug it up before a performance lol, Ive been to two and the first one was pretty shitty to be honest, but it was a concert atmosphere so it was fun nonetheless
I wouldnt care if he sang every song out of tune. Seriously the guy floats on the crowd. I thought they were gonna suck when they were opening for QOTSA they all looked emo, but i was really surprised. theyre Fuckin badass.
@NG2NATE this is the funniest comment in the world. they are carbon copies of bands like the pixies, mclusky, beck, and even nirvana. they are an alright band but what they are doing is anything but original
@vansrok1 well shit original or not if bullet for my valentine, five finger death punch, and all those other death metal bands that sound alike can make it big i dont see why these guys cant
@NG2NATE True all those bands do suck. And I think Cage the Elephant has made it big (Commercials, Video Games, Radio, Fesivals etc.) You should listen to Wavves, No Age, and the Black Lips.
@charlieharlot i dont see how they're ripping off of other bands. thats like saying all rock bands before them ripped from the beatles, the stones, zeppelin, etc.
i agree with howlinadamjames and zombielike addition thats how alot of people are when they sing or play guitar including me you got to feel it you can just sit up there with a blank look look up the song three days grae just like you youll see what i mean
@DAngerousLIzzard1234 I just saw them live on June 28th and omg wow! Matt stage dived right on me and i held that fucker up! Grabbed his huge gigantic stiff microphone. Great live!
this song sends a message that budding bands NEED. hell i think EVERY new band getting out there should cover this song. Yes there are a lot of bands that do not live up to expectation, but its time to reset the bar, and Cage the Elephant is doing it themselves, by hand.
@ZohaibF shove it down your throat? doesn't your father do that? and yes you are a troll, you went on a vid of a song you don't even like and started talking shit about it, troll
