Ratatat Loud Pipes Chicago Live

[petruccigod356]

mike stroud has the best headbang ever

[FlamerK6]

i was waiting for somebody to shout YOU'S TROLLIN

[maceuz]

The drum beat defiantly came from a beat machine. I use it in some of my work. They could actually be playing the keys/guitar, not sure i would have to be there live. 

[cbixel15]

did you people really think the drums from their albums came from a drumset? give me a break

[theEpicTonerider]

Ratatat is DA SHIT!

[TopsyKrretts]

douche, dont show me the theater! show me ratatat!

[3dollarchipz]

Imagine been baked while watching this Live!

[WompWomp92]

Imagine dropping a dose.

[streetsurfer419]

@WompWomp92 and dropping the bass :O

[fabcloud]

so fucking want to be there. love ratatat so much. come to the uk you bastards!

[equinequeen]

is this at the logan square auditorium?

[bobbyc2040]

@equinequeen yep, it is.  good eye.

[anthonyPortillo]

must be a cultural gap

[marcriganoskate]

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

[macgeek1972]

awesome i wish i was there lol

[schuylerkarr]

How are their drums made live? Beatpad? Pre-recorded?

[hectorqwer]

playback

[LilMaxo4President]

id say prerecorded.. definitely not real live drums

[yerallspastics]

@LilMaxo4President well theres no drummer on the stage so clearly its a recorded beat

[LadyObese]

maybe the guy's doing it on the keyboard

[yerallspastics]

@LadyObese nah i think hes playing the keyboard on the keyboard.

[snackingnuts]

weeell maybe that would be because THERE IS NO DRUMMER but i dont know im just guessing

[Poacrd]

basic beat ?

[Deekus64]

Their genre is FUCKING best mlb the show song ever.

[gizynmo]

haha i was at this show

[LiamsCovers]

for those wandering what genre they are, i'd say yes to hip hop (cause of the bests they use are very hip hop) for the keyboards and stuff i'd say a mellow electro and maybe experimental? either way, they're sick

[outlawman3000]

What type of organ is that? Keyboard (I think it's a Nord or Moog)? Does the keyboard come with organ preset engine...Achieved sound? Digital or Analog? Enlighten me...Not trying to copy but am curious as to how they achieve their sound.

[jbygs4dub]

i ask the same question every time i here them if you find the answers please pass on that information

[mjsergey]

I'm pretty sure its a Nord Lead (on the wikipedia page for this instrument it claims Ratatat as a user and in some of their other live videos you can clearly make it out). I guess it tries to sound like analog (and obviously does a great job at it) but its really digital.

[mronck]

they r awsome :D love it !

[dork86]

BEST ratatat song, damn it.

love these dudes.

hope i'll see them in LA

[Wordupbra]

Ratatat's genre of music?

That's easy..

It's called "Good Fucking Music"

[JRAI88]

LMFAO true fact i sk8 to them

[bassplayerguy120]

Same here. I longboard to them. Its great!

[Irishman1337]

COME TO MEMPHIS PLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE

[michaellohrweb]

they are so fucking good live! i have yet to see or hear a bad ratatat live show.

[laTCProductions]

you guys are ridiculous its def electronic music no JAZZ ?!?! They are from brooklyn and they grew up in the rave scene the just wanted to bend the sound a little bit.

[PleaseMrGravedigger]

jazz? for sure

they do alot of improvisation

by they way

i didnt said that they make techno

[PleaseMrGravedigger]

then take a look at their myspace site!

rock / electronica / hip hop

whats wrong with that?

i mean, they have 2 remix albums full with hip hop stuff!

one of the best bands in our time for me!

[eryesaboutthat]

everytime i hear this song i keep thinking my phone is ringing haha

[DieBeckhaRainBeau]

hhahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha­hahahahaahahahahahahaahahahaha­ha!!!!

[zinkerled]

My, what a well performed piece.

[xghostbusterx]

I fucking love Ratatat

[zeplin813]

ha the synth player screwed up at 0:11 but still i wanna see ratatat live soo bad

[takenbysilence]

Sometimes they don't "Mess Up"

If it's not exactly like the albums it doesn't mean it's a mistake.

A lot of musicians play the songs different than the albums when they play it live!

[htime9119]

He messed up there, listen

[Squiggoth]

Actually, he played that "offkey" note twice in the song. I agree with Takenbysilence, its a variation on the song.

[htime9119]

twice, but different parts in the song. you are just show that he messed up twice.

[HumanOnTheWeb]

I doubt he played it wrong, just in a different key....

[djayakody]

NOICE song :p

[badrawing]

um isn't this more like electro/rock/indie/whaterver with hip hop/break beat influences

i mean techno is more mono rhythmic usually and harder sounding richie hawtin and the like

anyway i think it has a very vintage nostalgic feel to it much like most of our youth culture today

[Tecate388]

ur right about what u thought it is more like

its not techno dude

[jiik007]

Actually, when you put their CD into iTunes, the default type is Electronic/Indie or Electronic/Dance.

[AtlasLacrosse]

but itunes has no clue what its talking about. i put in a bayside cd and it was trying to tell me they were electronic/hip hop

[goofybast4rd]

no this is this generations music it has very little to do with jazz at all more like really good techno man dont start mixing up incorrect music genres

[crazeddemon]

actually this structurally has much more to do with jazz than with techno so eat your own face.

[anthonyPortillo]

exactly. u have to pretty small minded to think the way of making the music dictates what it is.

thats like me saying beethoven isn't classical because i played it on keyboard instead of a piano

[anthonyPortillo]

this is so our generations jazz music

[thinkforurself5]

i think our generations jazz music is still jazz

[jjjerzak20]

uhm can't it just be 'music' we don't need it to be classified to enjoy it. i think it sounds awesome that's all i need to know

[anthonyPortillo]

im not saying the label IS the art. labels help us conceptualize and discuss art.

[anthonyPortillo]

depends on ur generation i guess. im refering to the fact that most generations make their own contributions to history and art, and sometimes they serve a similiar purpose as previous advances.

ratatat pushes musical envelopes and makes you make your own opinion about it by not providing lyrics to restrict the meaning.

[xbluegrey]

SAW THEM LIVE LAST NIGHT! I was at the front of the mosh pit. They were epic.

[shino1232]
