The Gaslight Anthem - "American Slang" Side One Dummy

[theIwka]

I wanna walk the Brooklyn Bridge again but this time with this in my ears.

[campgetdown]

I think "American Slang" is a nice way to say FUCK YOU. As in "You told me fortunes in American Slang" = You told me to fuck off.

[BjornstjernM]

@campgetdown American Slang is a type of jazz music.

[Garciavolta]

If you guys like this song you might like this band too, just search "say hello to the angels-if it's not one thing," just wanna share the music:)

[hejjagheterpeter]

This song makes me think that there still is hope for the music industy!

We need more!

[billyball2]

what does the "side one dummy mean"

[MetephorProductions]

@billyball2 It's the record label.

[billyball2]

for some reason they remind me of social distortion. their sound, their look, and the way they do music video is very alike in my mind. just my opinion.

[ackemfort123]

Brian's smile at 2:48 is the ultimate panty dropper.

[maraea95a]

this is a pretty good song

[XXdetonator890]

Got this on vinyl.

[exitoftheend]

@BroughamConspiracy Well most people in my generation play instruments but don't want to get in bands due to the time it will take. I personally thinks thats BS but w/e.

[unferk]

He's so fucking sexy, I love him.



[theIwka]

Like this video??? I fucking LOVE it!!!!

[XDFinMan]

I have seen a future of Rock n´roll and its name is Gaslight Anthem!

[hal1900]

It sounds derivative to me. I'd hazard a guess that they own every single U2 album!

[Seldenjo]

@hal1900 Gaslight has been called a derivative of a lot of bands in the past... but that's the first U2 comparison I've ever heard.

[Biscan100]

2.45 I love it. Brian tries not to laugh but can't help it.

[JaviCabezas]

seeing this band live at the pinkpop festival in the Netherlands is one of the greatest experiences in my life, damn they were good and deserved the mainstage!

[BeerPower102]

My friends and I made a rule that if you wake up in the morning to this song playing you will have a good day, no matter what. This rule has never failed me ever.

[ashvic2]

@BeerPower102 And I thought I was the only one. Karmic transcendence perhaps?

[nikel3161]

@ashvic2 awesome name!

[mikenumber35]

@BeerPower102 I wish I had friends that listened to gaslight anthem

[VinylTee]

@BeerPower102 challenge accepted!

[TCG11]

this shit is goooooood

[MrBeastwood]

No matter how I'm feeling, when listen to this song I just feel good.

[videopro234]

this is real music.

[SushiSarahi]

[Josephman97]

Pure Epicness, thumbs up if u agree!

[pudgemann]

[J5MARLON]

[iamlienheart]

TABS!!!!!!!!!!

[permanentinc717]

does he say i got your name tattooed on the inside of my heart or arm?

[JerbearHedlund]

@permanentinc717 Arm, I think. At least at their concert we all put our arms up, the inside of them facing the stage

[raq757uplayer]

@permanentinc717 arm :)

[cmac3107]

@permanentinc717 its arm, if you listen to the acoustic version you can hear it good.

[sky8igh]

Hi i'm Faggot, & i am too. And we're here to tell you about our new book, "Brid-*skips add*.

[ladyhannahxx]

My brother met the lead singer last year, so jealous.

[ThatRandomIdea]

awesome(:

[SouthMeckStunna]

I love how much soul they have

[macgregorfb]

Saw these guys at download, and whilst I had no idea who the hell they were, they were the NICEST band ever!! I think they were just happy to be there. haha.

[daewon1100]

i think my neighbors are starting to get annoyed

[charliepace666]

The Gaslight Anthem should have all of the awards.

[nikel3161]

this band reminds me of older times, i wasnt born yet but still takes ya back :)

[daewon1100]

@nikel3161 same

[JoBarbo]

@nikel3161 Man you got it jsut right! , its a damn weird feeling :P like remembering an older life haha

[theIwka]

[karrodeadd]

@nikel3161 yea it must really take ya back to the nutsack

[cagethepepper]

St. Pauli :D

[TheBeerjunkie]

This band gives me the biggest buzz I think next to the foo fighters right now.

[LucyCurryxx]

I love these, seen them at Glastonbury this year!!!

[sesay1989]

@homisdaltoast its "and they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive, i got your name tattoo'd inside of my arm and i called for my father but my father had died, when you told me fortunes in american slang" love this song the acoustic version in unreal

[homisidaltoast]

[Zerb012345]

@homisidaltoast "in a dream i had, oh in a dream i had"

[Zerb012345]

@homisidaltoast "in a dream i had, oh in a dream i had"

[homisidaltoast]

@Zerb012345 thanks

[estherdgr]

tomorrow @ Werchter :D

[ruggalexander84]

Side One Dummy have given a lot over the years.

[brak54321]

Bouncing Souls are better but these guy are still great

[Kfarm2711]

@brak54321 Not even close.

[peterne999999999]

I saw these guys warm up for the Foo Fighters. An amazing choice. This band .. what's there to say? They could probably deliver among the same lines of the Foo Fighters! They were out of this world for an entire hour. If one were to give these guys headliner status, they could probably go for more than 2 with no breaks! These guys, wow. They deserve more.

[salibaefc]

@peterne999999999 my dream gig is Gaslight and Foo's, i'm so envious of you right now.

[peterne999999999]

@salibaefc If you ever get the chance, you have good reason to be excited. I cried halfway through the Foo Fighters set.

[InsanenessForever]

I feel like the only 14 year old girl who likes The Gaslight..

Whatever, they're awesome the way they are. TGA forever! <3

[LittleMissCarrotTop]

@InsanenessForever your not alone im a 14 year old girl and i love them!

[InsanenessForever]

@LittleMissCarrotTop I knew I couldn't be alone! Haha (: How can anyone not love TGA?

[VonFalconerIII]

This isn't just music. This is Artwork.

[oregonflatland]

fuck i should've been in a band. god how i've wasted my life.

[warpedsoul69]

@oregonflatland You've only wasted your life if you're not actually doing anything to keep yourself going and making , at least, some kind of effort to survive, pay your bills, and keep yourself off the streets. If you've got a home and are surrounded by those who care about you, whether they be family or friends or both, then you'll be ahead of the game. IAlwsays remember: Any day above ground is a good day. Don't let the bastards grind you down!

[woahthereshiz]

@oregonflatland If whatever you're doing is good enough, you're never too old.

[partmanpartgoat]

@oregonflatland Its never too late dude

[cheapsex94]

@oregonflatland you can do whatever you put ur mind to man!

[BroughamConspiracy]

@oregonflatland I've been doing it since I saw Black Flag at the Rainbow in Denver in '85. Pick up an instrument, start moving and the world will turn. And I guarantee your world will turn out better.

[trebor8393]

can only hope one day, that fallon will be along side cash, cave and springsteen as a giant, horrible crowes mite just be the thing to make that happen, cant wait.

[milzy27]

i f'ing love these lads

[screenred]

Is it just me or those he looks like the guy from the serie nikky?:P

Awesome new cd btw!

[LaurensVful]

Just awesome, i'm gonna see them at Rock Werchter 2011 in Belgium in 3 weeks.

[ThePantherhawk]

[CourtyardPigeon]

I just hope he stops getting tattoos...starting to become a rock cliche

[MrMoydy]

[jerseyirish]

@MrMoydy Yea its a hot track no denying.

[aj8975]

with so many bands sounding the exact same these days, these guys are a welcomed breath of fresh air

[ti3nt]

@aj8975 100% agreed. Especially indie bands.. I want a different sound for every band I listen to.. not mirror images.

[Teleanarchy]

very cool! greta song , rad video!

[kennyscotten]

thirteen people speak standard english

[TheScottishRoots]

@kennyscotten fuck you

[kennyscotten]

@TheScottishRoots glad to see you're living a nice productive life full of moral and values there buddy, good job ;)

[TheScottishRoots]

@kennyscotten

[SmileFromGlasgow]

Suggestions: D.O.A. and The Casualties? Lol, alright.

[rockinhaley95]

i'm not against seeing these guys, though... hm...

[Feudmusic]

Great tune!

[supremedisaster]

FUCK THIS LAGGING ADV, THEY ARE ANNOYING AS SHIT!

[humzzzikle]

[cameralad12]

The Gaslight Anthem <3

[operationmiller]

The Killers want to be like The Gaslight Anthem but fail at it

[SkateboardBassguitar]

I'm going to see them at Pinkpop this year, I cant bloody wait.

[ASDMarauder007]

keep your card, close to her heart, before tearing them apart

for some reason that hits home. 

[GUITARISTm14]

nice these Guys ROCK!!!

[tonycash81]

MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only if these guys had a record label and came out of the underground,they would blow up big like the Black Keys

[koekj007]

Pinkpop '11 with Coldplay, Foo Fighters, 30STM, Kings of Leon, Simple Plan, the Script... and much more. going 2b great!

[locky305]

[tomschroot]

[kuba182]

Prague city festival 23.6.2011 ... yeah

[MrGamba5]

They're coming to Spain with the Foo Fighters!

[ninastokje]

PINKPOP 2011

[SneakyPinguin]

@ninastokje HELLYEAH

[justinvanderlinden]

@ninastokje zekers!!

[ICYDEDPEOPLE]

I love both bands, but to say the Killers songs have no meaning probably means you have no musical taste or knowledge for that matter.

[kgillum]

@ICYDEDPEOPLE no offense, but since when to 'taste' and 'knowledge' have anything to do with each other?

[kindalost94]

Awesome Reading last year :D

[JohnZackarias]

Think whatever you want about The Killers, but to say that their songs mean nothing is narrowminded and stupid.

The song "A dustland fairytale", for example, is about feeling lost and confused when someone you hold dear is on the verge of dying.

See, every day human emotions, just like Gaslight Anthem.

[Tnetenba]

Soundwave Melbourne 2011. that is all

[theIwka]

song, lyrics, video...everything is just amazing and breath-taking...

[xxAlexLoves182xx]

thumbs up if you think this band should be known more!

[Monicadominguez2393]

Best concert ever! one of them anyway

[ldctierna]

i like the lyrics of this song

[kuba182]

I´m looking forward to see this band in Prague city festival :)

[pinetone000]

i think this is a great record and i think the killers are terrible.

[namazanejchleba]

Prague City Festival 2011!! looking forward to seeing them

[skullcandy2296]

the killers and gas light anthem arebothgreat bands

[TheBigMonsterKane01]

See you in Czech republic!

[jerseyirish]

America....stand the fuck up.

[dbsk8r92]

the guitarist used to live 2 streets from my house. he graduated from my high school lol

[CALLmeChriZz]

Sankt Pauli !!!

[Xen1aserman]

this video is so hipster it hates itself for being popular

[sanred9]

If you want that songs have a lot of meanings. You have to read a book. Music isn't about nice lyrics. That is what makes music great. So, there is no reason to love the killers more because of the lyrics!!! And The Gaslight Anthem is way better than the Killers.

[ColourCodedQuotes]

@sanred9

Music is about expression. That can be in the form of lyrics, instruments, sound, volume, tempo, etc. What makes music so great is that it expresses ideas on so many different levels of though. Through just the outright nature of it's lyrics, the clear, obvious messages found in those. Then there's the metaphors and inferences from the lyrics, the messages you need to think about. Then you move deeper, into the feelings the music creates. Even deeper still is when you compare all these

[PinCushion99]

@ColourCodedQuotes That is sum deep thinking.

[jennemen]

wtf, a commercial about OPEL first ????

[alicalunddal]

Brian and Alex R, mmmh.

[TheShhSecret]

@alicalunddal Amen :)

[themongboy]

I love how mature this sounds compared to their early work.

[Askeycheese]
