Andrew Jackson Jihad "Rejoice" - Oakland

[ShreddyGnarGnar]

Those bass runs are fuckin pro too shit got damn

[ShreddyGnarGnar]

His hands are a blur.

[Monsterfiend138]

fukken retard cant remember his own shitty song

[frankykapone]

@Monsterfiend138 u mad bro

[TheBashedBurrito]

I love how they sound the same live as they do on their albums. They dont use any artificial crap to make them sound better because they dont need it

[Dishstony]

Brad Pitt on the mandolin?

[bluegreen1138]

:)

[morebeerthanmeetseye]

deffnitly needs a washboard!!

[downwithcheesecake]

I love how his voice sounds like a crazy man that lives in a cabin with a long beard and just yells at people as they go by telling them that the world is currupt, and although hes crazy hes right. His voice sounds like a crazy man his lyrics are crazy.. well I dont know about you guys but that fact makes me so happy..

[Longboarder140]

@downwithcheesecake

yes! the lyrical quality is way deeper than most other bands. listening to AJJ is like a crazed but wizened man's outlook on life put into a song.

[lovetodo22]

I am forever indebted to Showbread's fan army, The Raw Rock Militia for introducing me to this band.

[aaronc391]

I remembr when i first heard of them haha they have fun lyrics

[VacantCar]

He is playing the fuck outta that bass

[xriotkiddx]

I WANT HIS BABIES.

[TurtlesButtNaked]

Very nice guys, very good performers. I opened for them and they were anxious to come up to me and meet me and talk about my set and gave us shoutouts throughout their set. I was really surprised they didn't get that I was the one exited to see them play, haha. Fuckin' love them

[AgnosticSalmon]

Is it a requirement to have an awesome beard if you want to be in this band?

[iGeeeked]

Folk met Punk at a show, they fell in love instantly, and decided, "Hey, let's make a family.", And so, then became Andrew Jackson Jihad into the World. Thank you, Folk and Punk, for giving me such an amazing gift. Thank you.

[kittyhatful]

the singing reminds me of neutral milk hotel. :D

[Chupaskabra45]

let me get one thing straight: there is no "punk" and there is no "hipster". there are just people who actually have a desire for the true human experience without all the fake bullshit generated by our government and corporatocracy, and then there are the douchebags who wear trendy "vintage" clothes for fashion and hang out in front of coffee shops to discuss popular opinions over politics they know absolutely nothing about. period.

[immehgen]

rejoice. fucking rejoiceeeee

[AidsAhoy]

The strumming is fucking insane!

[NolramNrets]

I would rather see them play all Guerrilla in a parking lot then in some big stadium, but I wont blame them if someday they are offered money to play big venues and they take it. But something will be lost when and if that happens.

[joobie526]

@NolramNrets fucking hipsters... lol

[Mootsba]

@joobie526 how is that hipster? Sounds to me like hes just pondering the future.

[joobie526]

@Mootsba dood it was a joke

[VoorkJTV]

@NolramNrets yeah it really sucks when an amazing band gets the recognition and fame it deserves. /not

[mrwaffles31]

These dudes are legit.

[Zaxerman2]

the only people whos songs are all good, not just the main song on the album

[IanqueParker]

One of the best bands I've discovered on the interwebz. Truly unique, moving folk-punk <3

[gianichan]

Great song. Thanks to the band and the poster who held the camera while they coulda' been just enjoying the performance. Andrew Jackson Jihad are opening for Frank Turner for his 2011 US tour. Buy tickets for this show and support music as a art.

[ratmanrussell]

These guys are way too good to be playing in a parking lot! I really hope they go on tour soon...

[DKM101]

@ratmanrussell

they're on a tour in germany right now, I'm pretty sure

[ratmanrussell]

@DKM101 I guess what I meant was "in the U.S.", lol

[goalieman84]

@DKM101 they are 

[skw1zz]

hurr durr

[RonPaulsuperhero]

riiiidiculous strummin



[fakehilde]

his happy is my happy

[mushymaple]

"GOD'S EARS ARE STITCHES".

[Zacklejack]

i like how he forgot the first line lol

[davidendres89]

beyond sick



[TigreOkage2080]

you know he has loyal fans when they go to a show near a car :)

[taylorbortnerathing]

@TigreOkage2080 andrew jackson jihad live at.....a car in oakland (don't go alone)

[TigreOkage2080]

@taylorbortnerathing actually its an astro van xD

[TigreOkage2080]

11 people had their beards burned off...

[coandca1143]

that mandolin-ist just seems so out of place..

[solidcaptainfalcon]

@coandca1143 it sounds gewd to meh

[pigbearman69]

this was such a great show..

[MendeedRock]

cool as fuck he can play in a parking lot. I'm from Northern ireland, if a band decided to the same here there'd be a bomb planted in under their tourbus while they were playing.

[johnbbolton]

its a mandolin

[preparefortheshift]

but isn't it a sitar, not a banjo?

[modpunkoi]

@preparefortheshift

Mandolin, Im pretty positive.

[JacksRevelation]

...I think this song just saved my life.

[ImCommodities]

LMFAO. is that Brad Pitt in disguise on the banjo :P.

jk.

P.S AJJ IS THE FUCKING BEST.

[Bonerjams98]

im glad bieber is famous and not good music. it makes this way more meaningful

[bongowilly69]

How is a talentless, autotuned cunt like Justin Bieber rich and famous and yet these guys/gods are barely even heard of and have to preform next to a car.

ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD = SEX ON TOAST

[Clerks0]

@bongowilly69 fuck yeah bro

[Zaxerman2]

@bongowilly69 With strawberry jelly

[RonbowDosh]

@bongowilly69 justin bieber owns, sorry (and so does ajj)

[TomPirate1]

@RonbowDosh If I could slap you I would. But then I'd hug you. Same for the guy you responded to.

[Stryker125]

@RonbowDosh agreed. agreed so hard.

[HatFortress2]

@bongowilly69

Because they don't give a shit about wealth and fame, they love playing music. Why does nobody get this? Music is an outlet for expression and its a way to have fun, not to gain money or popularity.

[follower64]

@bongowilly69 because music is about more than making money and getting famous

[HappyAngerMan]

@bongowilly69 Saw them once in Baltimore. I didn't have any money, I paid my way into the show with a half a pack of cigarettes... That may be how they haven't become famous, but it's also one of the million reasons they are one of the greatest bands EVER.

[ontherunhome]

@bongowilly69 well just be happy your one of the few who knows them instead of the people who dont. i would love to see these guys though! so amazing!

[ladfemax]

how the f is he strumming

[foamy1graff]

@ladfemax

because he is a wizard, obviosly

[uprooting]

motherfucking oakland!

[RabbiAndFriends]

11 people forgot to rejoice

[cfunkrascals]

HOUR OF THE WOLF <3

[jakeMmusic]

Saw these guys live in Richmond a while back. They are pretty sick live.

[BartholomewBojangles]

11 people smoke crack, how could you dislike ajj

[pocsCT]

fuck yea dude at the troubador!!!! that show was fucking amazing

[LAruiz21]

@pocsCT yea it was and it's sad i wish i could go see them in Indiana

[sloppydrunk667]

[andyanyd]

[theforsakenpiggies]

Rejoice.......shit.

[adam4skateboarding]

This doesn't really make sense but the fact that he forgot the first line makes me like this band more.

[thepimientosurfer]

His strumming hand looks like magic.

[adam4skateboarding]

@thepimientosurfer whoops I hit dislike on accident. Like X2 haha. I wish I knew how to strum that fast and...the technique whatever it is.

[SamMoney07]

LEGIT

[L2daO2daZ]

@SamMoney07 Exactly, it's just honest and brilliant. Sounds better than on the record.

[Boonskee]

Can someone please explain to me how the fuck he strums like that? or point to a video that explains it? Or just knows the technical name for it? Anything really. I need to learn this shiznit

[yellowbrand]

@Boonskee i am very interested in learning this as well. so someone please help us.

[4weed2man0]

@Boonskee take a classical guitar class. you'll learn how.

[ChristianRyanPike]

Liberal... bullshit... annoys...

[likawildcougar]

@ChristianRyanPike then dont listen commie

[MariahJSkywalker]

Love them so much!

[ArthurPendent]

Search google for Descended from Elves !!!

[fetustium]

I swear, his hand moves so fast it looks like he has six fingers... maybe he does and thats why he rules!

[Dextear]

God's ears are stitches. What? God's ears are stitches! Oh! Hahahaha!

[xJAKExEDGEx]

to the 8 people who dont like this, go fuck yourself

[punkolele]

@xJAKExEDGEx 11 now! 11 dickheads in the world..



[xJAKExEDGEx]

to the 8 people who dont like this, go fuck yourself

[Teamgreenisgo]

punk is punk....genre be damned.

<3

[AidanLJennings]

"God's ears are stitches."

"OH YEAH!"

[kimmythebrat]

Word, I am seeing this cool cat tomorrow!! I am excited.

[AcrustE]

[kymusabi]

@AcrustE I KNOW, IT'S SO AWESOME!

[willieterry91]

It's really not that hard to play without a pick...not sure why people are sayin it is.

[chronicinthahouse]

looks like the vid is fast fowarding

[cotaxista]

Reminds me of the Smothers Brothers.

[neo2568]

wow.. those are some colorful lyrics haha

[HippieHappyTV]

holy shitt, that was amazing...

[trent1097]

i dont know how u can get tired of it they are performing by a van outside and they sound so perfect :) I LOVE THIS SONG XD

[trent1097]

i love this song i really want to meet tehm in concert or on tour

[oxvalentineox]

I listen to this song so much, I'm so afraid I'll get tired of it

[ChanTheMagicMan69]

Amazing exactly how they are on the CD

[Hey5971]

XD great:D

[smilingandalf]

My good God. wow

[winzlow125]

this is awesome

[rikmomentary]

I recently found out this band was in Alternative Press. For some reason, I now have a sort of sick feeling in my stomach. I don't know why.

[andyjcostello]

legends gahh

[7Ryoken]

nice

[j14hirn]

BADASS!!

[cookies2992]

haha doesnt look like his hands are being fast forwarded? awesomeness

[crassisdead]

Plus he's not using a pick. That's real fucking talent.

[tucker441]

@crassisdead strumming really isn't that hard without a pick once you get used to it. He's still badass though

[frenchersfriers]

i'm seeing these bastards tomorrow :)

[MusicMang1024]

I'm jealous.

[blahpoopman]

how the hell does he do that

[seniorcitizensrule]

@blahpoopman

its so hard to play that fast

blah

[Jaken213]

I can do it with a pick, but he doesn't look to be using one. Rofl.

[EltBerserker]

lalala

[BreaK0nThrough]

gay

[questionable125]

Greatest band alive, enough said.

[Samodrei]

how does he play like that with his right hand?

[PennyDr3adful]

Haha I love how he couldn't remember the first verse. Long live Andrew Jackson Jihad.

[grandmastatus]

i was all excited because i found the chords to this song. then i realized i could never do that with my hand.

[follower64]

I love how he sounds just like he does on recording, none of these edited "perfect" vocals. Honest music FTW!

[nbrigmon]

Just thinking that.

[babyshaker90210]

@follower64 Dude you're crazy, imagine how much better he'd sound with auto tune...

(Sarcasm)

[thrmoz456]

@follower64 cuz it sounds bad on the recording

[follower64]

@thrmoz456 If that's what gets your dick hard, telling people they're bad at making art.

[thrmoz456]

@follower64 i think its good actually, he's just not the best singer in the world.

[evemfs]

Lol he forgot how it starts.

[Reverendwyotech]

Its noise pollution.

[follower64]

As AC/DC said,

"ANTI-FOLK AIN'T NOISE POLLUTION! ANTI-FOLK AIN'T GONNA DIE!"

[omgitsalexd]

ac/dc you mean one of the worst bands ever? rofl

[manonfire285]

ROFL DAT WUZ FUNNEEE

[emoboi21196]

inpromtu huzza hurray! wish i could do that by the side of a car.

[canadian33686]

Man O Man, I just found your Music this morning and I can't stop listening to it! This is the kinda music I want to play with my friends. But I always get a brain fart when it comes to lyrics :(

[AndrewJacksonJihad]

Thanks.

[re7ard1337]

he's got such a unique voice.

[HOLYSHITCARROTS]

@re7ard1337

sounds exactly like the guy from the mountain goats

[flyingemus9]

@re7ard1337 Wait really? I love this band and all, but his voice isn't terribly unique. Sounds like Jeff Mangum and plenty of irish punk bnads.

[StephAndSall]

this song is fucking awsome :D

i love his music

[chinesechongo]

oh my lord thats good

[chuckmastazero]

dude...he has tremendous control of his strumming. that shit is ridiculous.

[toddod87]

Ha, no.

[iJimy]

No talent bass player sucks guitar suck and mandoline sucks. BUT I FUCKING LOVE IT. I dont know what it is about punk music haha

[RageAholic6377]

Are you joking... YOU try to play this on guitar with your fingers.

[gabey123]

@iJimy ...are you joking? about the first part.

[okirann]

yu stupit hahahahahahah comi

[PictureOnAWall]

My arm just fell off trying to strum that fast.

[hurliegirlie1911]

rejoice cause youll never make it out alive

[toddod87]

anti-folk punk, fuck yeah.

[RageAholic6377]

It's not anti folk, idiot.

It's post-punk

[InTheWoods91]

it's music.

[KaDeeFoSho]

AJJ makes me unbelievably happy [:

[Kodama28]

shut up

[schube]

holy strumming. wowz0r.

[cooloutandcoexist]

lovely lovely lovely

[crassisdead]

Amazing band.

[WeWereWhenWeWere]

these guys are sick. <AJJ3

[Lanterncorp599]

you know a band is amazingly talented when they can play a song in a parking lot on a cam corder and it still sounds amazing

[CSPWestside]

Couldn't have said it better myself
