[BryterLater1990]

[arcticmonkeystrokes]

bollocks to that. courteeners might be able to equal arctic monkeys in time but never surpass them.

[MrHammond81]

@arcticmonkeystrokes Artics Are wank not a patch on The Courtneers!!!!

[howarth02]

@BryterLater1990 Don't talk shit all you're life

[BryterLater1990]

dont talk shit? what the fuck are you on about? how are the courteeners anything like the arctic monkeys

[PrezPoet]

@BryterLater1990

They're both shit.

[ihopthsuzrnmeisfree]

leave out the needless insults. if you disagree just say so, no need to put it so extremely.

[madferit100]

@BryterLater1990 dude, seriously???? sorry but arctic monkeys are thousand times better than courteeners. I love the courteeners though but u gotta face the truth mate..

[lzrdkng82]

does he say "i'm the singer of the ting tings" instead of "morrisey with some strings"?!

[suartpurslow01]

@lzrdkng82 ye he does, he changes that line live sometimes

[spearthrower69]

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiam!

[nakedcowboy1]

weetabix

[Dieguinho92]

what does he say instead of morrissey with some strings

[tommothebastard]

1:34... can anyone work out what he says before "out of the ting tings". Love Liam Fray, this man is the new manchester messiah.

[johnleggat]

hey check out scottish band

third connection simple things

cheers

[joebfc16]

Class! Courteeners liam fray legend

[reilly19992]

extremely under rated band man, they need to be big not enough people hear them.

[wrecsamkills]

liam fray is soo cool there better than oasis live as well

[NathansWatchinYou]

Only because liams (gallagher) voice is fooked.

Go back 10 years and they would be nothing next to Oasis live.

Don't get me wrong The Courteeners are a good band, but just not in the same league as Oasis

[Kookoooo1]

oasis (liam) pisses all over this mug

[TheACDCGuy]

The Courteeners Are Awesome !

Liam Fray's A Class Singer And Song Writer !

[gregharrison]

im a massive courteeners fan, but this version is pish, i dont know what he's trying.

[89cheapmonday]

nah it's ace!

[pembo18]

He's obviously stripping the song down to its bare chords and playing an intimate acoustic version.

[Jacd92]

its actually C, C/B, Am, F, G

[forestcityjacob]

C G Am F G(Barred)

[acko1980]

mint!

[8930philip]

Well ya playing it wrong then mate! It's 100% a G not Em

[8930philip]

Chords are C,G,Am,F,G........fucking tune!

[ShaggyMess]

C Em Am F G i've always played.

G sounds just as good aswell... always had a toss up between the 2... play the last g as a barre aswell... i do anyways seems to sound better.

[XcloyyX]

love it.

[nickalder]

anyone got chords for this?

[redhot922]

who is she?alex turner's girl?

[725pete725]

" do you know who i am im just a man of the ting tings "

fuckin classic

[bassthing26]

I always thought he said Morrissey with two chins! Not a flame btw. I love this band.

[pembo18]

It's 'like a Morrissey with some strings'

[stalkerthescotty]

met this guy in belfast wot a fking legend hes a mix of noel and liam the gether might be a long lost half brother

[laurie162]

shit

[bobmarleychris7]

minted live acoustic music, got a good 2nd cd with acoustic versions of a few songs on a import cd.

[gantini1975]

morrissey loves em good enough for me maybe best lyricist since mozza himself great band agree about glasvegas as well superb band all good in 2008

[jigmeister2]

no keen on this acoustic version..it is abit disabled..they are great though..live round the corner from me..kinda similar to alot of bands like cribs,libertines and glasvegas..just hope these bands dont go missing..

type of bands that you need to give a chance..on 1st listen i didnt c the big deal about these bands but give them a listen and u see wot the hype was has been about

[jackcoffey]

didnt like em at first - but i bought the album the day i heard "yesterday , today and probably tommorow" - now i fucking love em! lol

[RetroGuy5000]

awsome

[courteeners122]

zackvalentine you are a wanker. The courteeners are fucking brilliant

[muzza555]

Zack valentine...just to say if what he is doin is sooo easy and a three year old could do it. Why dont u write some lyrics, record them and then sell them. See how far you get. Pirck

[mrchumpster]

its not about the next this or that, these guys sound good and recognise their heritage and obviously enjoy what they are doing. St jude is a great album. i find them refreshing..plus they also remind me off all the great bands i grew up with

[Jimmer090]

Just pure quality

[CPerrin11]

if you dont like it why watch it and comment?

[ZackValentine]

Don't give a f**k what anyone else thinks. I'm sick to death of this type of music that's trying to take over our country. It's basically an oppertunity for people with shit voices and shit style (like Liam Fray) to be able to "sound good". No one can say this guy can sing and mean it...

[CPerrin11]

Surely you cant be serious!!!!!!

have the white coats been knocking at your door by any chance coz ithink you need locking up for a pathetic comment like that, and this typee of music is "taking over the country" because its ACE the songs actually mean something, please tell me what type of music you like!

[ZackValentine]

I'm serious. It's really not ace if you think about it. You've basically just said you like songs when they "mean something", tell me that a 3 year old couldn't come up with a better line than "What took you so long, was there a queue at the post office?". Jesus christ, you need a good melody and a good voice tocreate a good tune. This isn't, they all sound the same just like the majority of the old shit from 50's. If you're honest you'll admit that 'bands' now a days have singers that cant sing

[CPerrin11]

Nah i cant admit that becuase its a load of bull really, have you wrote a song, can you sing>>? and what music do you like?

[ZackValentine]

I can do anything, i'm a God Damn Superhero. Yes i've wrote a song (better than this 'suprisingly'). And yes, I can sing (although I don't. But again, better than this asshole.) He's out of tune, he's ugly (but all ugly people now-a-days grow their hair long to try and compensate don't they) The only thing they do is play Chords. The lines don't rhyme, the lyrics are pathetic, it all sounds the same. Butt ugly, trying to look good or strangled cats trying to sound good or in this guys case both.

[ZackValentine]

Like the Dinosaur, talentless excuse of human beings have had their time. Music I like? I like EVERYTHING, RnB, Trance, Dance, Hardcore, Pop, Oldies, House, Garage, Rock, Punk... even some 'Indie' or whatever you people call it, as long as it SOUNDS GOOD (which again comes down to opinion), I just don't like Wannabee's, and pathetic excuse of wannabee's especially. The thing is, it's not just music anymore, it's the whole dressing like a 10 dollar rent boy appeal that the music has brought.

[manc14life]

go and fucking die u misserable cunt, and if you think a 3 year old can come up with better lyrics then you should be a fucking pro, but i don't see you selling out the m.e.n... if you dont like them dont press play....

[eatmyhats]

he says do you know who i am im just a man of the ting tings

[jimncezhightide]

we do a version of this with 3 accoustic guitars would love it if real fans would take a look and let us knw what u think!!!

thanx everyone

[brfczander]

you know when hes upposed to say "do you know who i am i'm like a morrissey with some strings". what does he say on here? somet to do with ting tings

[booshboosh93]

aww this song is amazing

[lordgoa]

thats some song that going to see them in liverpool october cant fuckin wait.

[eatmyhats]

quality the man and band is a legend before its begun

[nield8]

What Took You So Long is gonna be Courteeners Wonderwall awesome as an accoustic song and aweome as an indie anthem imo

[j4h3l2]

i'm the singer of the ting tings that's beautiful

[ogdensnutgoneflake9]

fucking genius!!! i cant wait to go c em in leeds, come on!!!

[spuddu]

I do love the courteeners, and Liam Fray is such a genius..

[adammacster]

Timeless

[jed989]

is this a joke?

[whatkezdid]

Liam Fray is a lyrical genius.

[cutcopycat]

love the line, "or have you had enough of your stereotypical bit of rough", something quite sad and poignant about it, especially on this lovely acoustic rendition.

[victoria0723]

I love the way Liam's eyes reflected in green.

[macjamski]

perfect this.

amazing man

[littledan92]

Do you know who i am, i'm the son of the ting tings?

[gpalaimo]

its either "do you know who I am? I'm the son of The Ting Tings" or "do you know who I am? I'm the singer of The Ting Tings"

[MrHammond81]

@gpalaimo Its Morrisey with some strings

[89cheapmonday]

@MrHammond81 Yes, originally that's what it is, but if you listen here he has clearly changed the lyrics

[jhdggfgh]

What does he say instead of morrissey with strings?

x

[mhairi90]

Love it!

[fergal24kinney]
