American Football ~ Never Meant (Live Version)

[PromWolf]

I personally love this video. I enjoy both American Footballs haha. I hate how there is this assumption that if you enjoy football you can't enjoy bands like this.

Good ol' DITKA

[thecomfortisnow]

Didnt know many football fans were this emotional about football. Or knew about American Football. Or liked emo at all. Or were anything remotely like who ever made this video. But cool. I guess?

[RLM2009]

wow.. hilarious to see people bitching about the PICTURES on a SONG.. if the pictures really ruin this song for you, then youre a fucking dolt. You shouldnt be listening to it anyway... Soundin like a toddler.

Wow, the fireside bowl! I used to play in well known indie band. We had a show there early in 2000 while it was still around, and this girl I'd been all "teenager head over heels" for since I was 15 just happened to go to school not too far away. I believe in Wheaton, one of those super christian schools. She came out to the show looking super hot...she had amazing sweater cows. They were wonderful. Oh, almost out of characters. Oh well. Yeah, she married some dork(handsome though). The End!

@konradharla seriously dude, what's your problem? the guy's gone to all the trouble of putting up a kick-ass live recording of american football - a band very few of us have had the pleasure to see - and all you can think to do is complain about the background pictures? just be thankful and enjoy the music man!

[61JohnnyB61]

i like how you added actual football 

[mikerotethis]

DA BEARS!!

[beyondthegong]

All of this football shit pretty much ruins this. At least I can run this in the background.

[ChocolateExplosion]

@beyondthegong grow a sense of humor, dweeb

[konradharla]

@ChocolateExplosion what a dumb, unfunny, shitty sense of humor.

[RLM2009]

@konradharla hey.... bet you wont cry about it

[ChocolateExplosion]

@konradharla yo dipshit... the reason good music became completely lame emo.. is because of complete fucksticks like yourself. Guys who play football got all the girls, OK, and the only solace you had was in listening to music like this.. Ok.. whatever.. you're predictable and uninteresting.. we know this.. that's why girls didnt like you in the first place.

[konradharla]

@ChocolateExplosion lol

[konradharla]

@konradharla <3

[tokyorose999]

@beyondthegong hahaah u mad

[christpuncher98]

the irony in this particular video is that kinsella once said that he only chose the name american football because it it reminded him of how overpaid and overglamorized sports is and it reminded him of musicians.... the band hated the name nonetheless the name stuck

[ChocolateExplosion]

@christpuncher98 that's only half the wikipedia quote... Mike Kinsella is a huge Bears fan

[neopumpkin]

[Zargon314]

i'm so glad you put bears photos over it!

GO BEARS!

[cliffburton333]

lyrics weren't even fully developed yet. i bet the people in the crowd didn't realize how important this band would still be to the scene 10+ years later

[xBillyTheKidx]

so amazing.

[noobz0r]

sounds damn good live

[andy1908]

this is very enjoyable right now... :high five:

[BleedingSunday]

lol @ pics

[piedsjie]

wow amazing to hear other lyrics on this one

and amazing +1 that they played it so well, always feared that a good live version would be imposible

what a band!

[lennycarlmoe]

This is actually in april or may of 1999 (not 1998). This was one of their last shows right before recording the album I believe.

Go Bears.

[ChocolateExplosion]

thanks, i just went with the info on the file.. you were at the show?

[friggenrockstar]

awesome find

[mateodeusername]

Where the hell did you get this version of the song?

[ChocolateExplosion]

i think there's 2 whole live bootlegs doing the rounds... someone sent me a link to the rapidshare download a few years ago /// i was surprised no one had posted any of it before
