  • Well at least the drums sound good. And he's the only original member. Vocals get the melody wrong and the horns have no life to them. Catch 22's new stuff sounds good when they play it. But this is Kalnoky material. They need to move on.

  • @ZaikuChainsaw

    The Drummer (Chris Greer) and Kevin Gunther (trumpet, Vocals) are the only two left in the band from the Keasbey days. And Kevin is doing vocal duty's on this song.

  • I want to go to their show. Of course if I can get a free ticket. I will be the one in the Streetlight shirt.

  • Get that piece of shit off the stage. He doesn't deserve to sing Keasbey.

  • STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO! That is all.

  • that singer sucks and doesnt even know how to sing the song right

  • @crazyape515 agreed.

  • fuckin kalnoky

  • I hate to say it, and i love catch 22, but they are the band straight out from a 90's movie where they kicked a guy out and the guy makes a new band, while the old band becomes douchey and sell-out-esque. so the two bands become enemies and end up in a battle of the bands and the new band wins because they are way better.

    tomas kalnoky basically is living a movie.

  • @killyourcats1 a modern thing like that is like Saosin and Circa Survive

  • @NinjaStyle167 haha nice. they any good?

  • @killyourcats1 Circa Survive is amazing man. i recommend them to everybody! :D

  • @killyourcats1 i believe that movie is school of rock lol

  • The horns are straight up sad. They should stick to their own shit.

  • @pfunkify Catch 22 should stick to their own shit? It's a fucking Catch 22 song!

  • the fact that the drummer is the only original member is depressing....like theres 2 or 3 different generations of catch......and the second 2 arent up to par

  • Sounds like a cover band.....

  • God the catch 22 haters are really fucking pathetic. Both Catch and Streetlight think that what you're doing is retarded and I have to agree with them.

  • "IF YOU HATE ME SO MUCH THEN STOP SIGNING MY SONGS."

    the people there arent even excited

  • I'm not gonna be like everybody else and comment about how Catch is nothing without Tomas and that this is just garbage, and trash talk how bad the lead singer sounds.

    Oh wait.

  • Lasted 7 seconds.

  • *watches ten seconds* This is bad... *clicks on streetlight version*

  • This isn't even the same band. It's depressing. 

  • catch 22 sucks w.o. tomas

  • Catch 22-The Ones Tom Didn't Care About

  • @crazy50128 tomas wrote the greatest ska album of the ninetees. the guys in catch 22 were obviously holding him back. and look, without him, they cant even put together a good album.

  • Don't tell me THAT is their new singer. Out of all the people to replace kalnoky, they replace him with a guy who can't even sing his songs.

  • he can barely even sing the lyrics,he just fucking mumbles.i agree,they shouldnt play these songs without kalnoky

  • Catch 22 isn't Catch 22 without Tomas

  • Its not bad enough that the new singer sounds like trash....but, he's wearing a mets t-shirt? what a fag

  • No Tomas Kalnoky = change your name to something else.

  • i like streetlight manifesto and catch 22. the fact, that tomas left catch 22 was in fact the best thing that could happen to this band. streetlight manifesto is so (too much) influenced by tomas although that he's the songwriter. 99 songs of revolution was a bad idea but just a fact, that tomas get out of ideas. in contrast permanent revolution by catch 22 was another masterpiece and i'm looking forward to a new full-lenght album by them...

  • Comment removed

  • this is essentially a cover band. doing all better songs that they wish they wrote

  • its kinda sad..

  • This isnt catch 22, this is fat fucker stealing someone's songs.

  • "if you hate me so much, then stop singing my songs"

  • is it me or do they seem a little faster then the original beat?

  • mmm no kalnoky ... <.<

  • Keasby nights is not keasby nights without kalnoky singing it.

  • the entire band is nothing without kalnoky..streetlight manifesto is win though.

  • @Lxan96dr ik who is that guy

  • catch is not the same without kalnoky.

  • i think its funny how the only guy from the original catch is the drummer. in this reality that is a whole new band and so therefore should get a new name.

  • @greendayfan234

    no i think 3 of them are from the original i think its

    Ryan Eldred,Kevin Gunther, and Chris Greer.

  • Blah, I like Catch 22 but not when they perform Keasbey Nights stuff. It's just not the same. :/

  • dude! that is EXACTLY how i feel

  • it's like catch 22 and tomas kalnoky got a divorce...

    and tomas kalnoky got all the cool fans...

    and all the talent...

  • he deserved it, catch was the one that didnt "invite" Tomas back into the band......wait let me rephrase....they kicked him out

  • @guitarguy13093 best comment on any video ever.

  • @guitarguy13093 its a terrific. so fucking great. thank you. :)

  • fewpoundcory is right the original singer,bass,guitar and trombone left catch a started streetlite

  • Ska is ska is ska is ska! Just enjoy!

  • i dont get it... u guys are whining about how catch suck when u all know full well that alone in the crowd songs take much more skill to play than any streetlight song wether they are longer or not. not to mention with observation even a casual fan can realize that somewhere in the between copied alone in the crowd on multiple levels...i still love streetlight, they are kickass, i saw them live, but it breaks my heart to hear stuff against catch... cmon guys get real...

  • you actually think that catch 22 is harder to play than streetlight?

    and does that even matter? its like all the metal heads who say metals the best music cause its so skillful. i dont listen to music cause of the skill.. I highly doubt that sitb copied alone in a crowd. You sound like a conspiricy theorist saying things like that.

  • Ug sorry man my gayass brother just decided to comment using my account. And he is, by the way.

  • ha ha ha ha ha ha......somewhere in the between sounds NOTHING like alown in the crowd. your fucking stupid. and catch's talent cant even compare to streetlights. intumentals and lyrics. and everything that tomas said about catch was completly called for. and i have to agree with him 100%.

  • agreed

  • 5/5 starz bro! idk y ur vid only has 3 though! it was awesome!

  • i meant 3 stars

  • DEMAIS!

  • i love catch but why do they still play toms songs...

  • bc they are still catch 22 songs no matter whose in te band

  • I don't think so.

    Tom practically wrote everything on Keasbey nights, Lyrics, Horn parts etc. I think he deserves all rights to the songs.

    And to be honest i don't think this band can pull them off. If you wanna compare them to streetlight musical talent wise it's sad.

  • he wrote them with the band and of course this band can pull them off bc their not covering them they're originals if anyone's covering them its Streetlight and if you listen to the catch and streetlight version of the album there is little to no changes in the actual music just an extra verse here and a different line there

    and the only thing here thats sad is the fact that you listen to one ska band that came out of this band

  • There's more original members in streetlight than there is Catch.

    So catch is covering.

  • only the bass singer/guitar and bone left catch to form streetlight so get ur facts straight before you tell me im wrong, it'll work out better for you in the long run if you know what ur talking about in an argument but w.e. idc

  • WOW dude.

    you are beyond dumb if you think this is a cover

  • u retard this is not hardly any of the same people who played this song originally douche

  • wow fuckin youtube people

    its still a catch22 song. the fact that thomas joined streetlight does not change that fact.

    their horn players have been in the band since the beginning. they all put their own imput into the music.

    so if you wanna be dumb and get all technical about it, streetlight's horn players are playing a cover everytime these songs are played. they didnt write it.

  • i mean come on its an 8 peice band and 3 ppl left to form streetlight

  • Josh Ansley Tomas Kalnoky James Egan Mike Soprano

    All these people we're in catch

    and then joined streetlight?

    So i believe thats about half the band?

    And at the time they broke up it was a 6 piece band i think? So i believe the majority of the band left catch. or at least half.

  • alright but soprano didnt leave unitl alone in the crowd and joined streetlight in like 2000 after the album was released, and anyways idk why people like you feel the need to put comments up that put down the band... if you feel that way dont look up the videos just to start a fight

  • I didn't look up this video, It was a related video to a streetlight cover i was watching, so i watched this. And thought it sounded horrible.

    I think they should of just dropped keasbey nights and should of renamed the band.

  • that doesn't make sense lol y would they drop THEIR best selling album and most popular songs

  • Back to me point.

    They aren't shit without Tom.

    They should of started a new band since most of their members left to join streetlight.

  • well apparently your not in a band cause thats not how things work, the band adapts and like i said they lost three members and then got the replacements then soprano left and got a replacement for him... if bands just became new ones after they lost some members almost all ska bands wouldnt last for longer than 2 albums

  • here is the thing, the only original catch 22 member that is in catch 22 is the drummer. thats why everyone is complaining about the new catch 22.

  • Whoa! Are you kidding? Wow that must be awkward. I thought that the horns sections was the same but i guess i'm retarded :/ So pretty much Catch 22 is a cover band? haha thats gay

  • the singer/songwriter makes the band

  • no the band makes the band

  • thats not true at all.........but in this case it is,

  • because he wrote them when he was in this band. so i think its ok for them to play them

  • who is this shitty cover band? o wait its new catch my bad o_0

  • hahahhaha nice

  • ah haha!

  • wtf

    this bassist is great!!!

  • it sounds like the lead singers toung is stuck in a strait line but this is still a great song regardless

  • "if you hate so much than stop singing my songs"

  • damn straight! toms rebuttal to this dude continuing to play these song years later after 85% of the band has left

  • Old Catch is awesome. New Catch is awesome. Stretlight is awesome. Ska is awesome. Shut up. Personally, I think Tommy K is the best hope they can get for a songwriter, but in terms of singing, I think Jeff Davidson was the best Catch had. But that's my opinion. I do like Streetlight better though.

  • dude, both bands rock face, end of story

  • I couldn't agree ANY FUCKIN MORE with ballyhoo143. I am in a ska band and we almost just broke up because of the same reasons. Ska is about bein laid back and chill. get with it. both bands rock the shit out of my fuckin brains and they have their own unique styles. chill out

  • i agree with Isaywhatyouthink and you guys gotta stop hating on these bands..haters are the reason ska is diminishing

  • Wow all this bullshit.

    I like Catch 22 and Streetlight for many diffrent reasons.

    If u dont like n e of em dont listen.

  • well said sir. I don't know what all this anti catch pro sm shit is all about. Listen to what you want.

  • I agree they are both awsome bands

  • these guys suck dick

  • I am so goddamn SICK AND TIRED of the petty arguments over who is better. Catch 22 and Streetlight are both wonderful bands, they're just good for different reasons. Streetlight's absolute (almost military) precision is ridiculous, while the new Catch 22 is a million times more laid back. Neither style makes either a better group in reality; just in somebody's opinion. I mean shit, the bands aren't feuding with each other (anymore at least)! They've dropped it, so why can't the fans? Grow up.

  • wrong. sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about.

    The only part that you are almost right about is how they no longer a feud. Kevin from catch 22 has become a Streetlight groupie. I think he actually thinks that he has a shot to get into streetlight. He goes to their shows and stands on the side of the stage now.

    Streetlight Manifesto is better than the new Catch 22 in every essence of the meaning.

    New catch 22 is garbage.

  • Once again, grow up. Once again, that's your opinion, which means absolutely nothing. and don't even begin telling someone that they don't know what they're talking about when you yourself are an ignorant fuck. Kevin actually does a great deal of streetlight's booking. Last time i checked, booking shows and being a groupie were not the same thing. I've seen streetlight 6 times now, in multiple cities, and not once have i seen Kevin at a show. Suck it, and stop watching catch 22 videos.

  • SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH,CHANGE YOUR FUCKING TAMPON, AND DROP IT. they are both great bands. the only reason so many people like SM better is because there songs are more emotional and deep and most of catch is happy and laid back. i think everyone needs to chill out and just enjoy music.

  • Amen

  • wow thesse guys totally have a right to play keasbey since there are original members in this band. catch 22 is a solid band and they adjusted well to losing tom. personally i think dinosaur sounds permanent revolution are amzing.

  • streetlight manifesto is good but you people need to stop putting it over fuckin catch 22. it will NEVER BE BETTER THAN CATCH 22.

  • STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO!

  • Catch and Streetlight are pretty much the same band since theyre most popular songs are the same and you know what i do think that old catch is better than the new catch but thats my opinion and what does it matter if they were once joined in one form or another

  • no not really no

  • ur shitty as hell

  • cunts, don't deserve to play Thomas's songs.

  • "if you hate me so much then stop singing my songs."

  • Good song. Good video. Saying nothing about how terrible Catch is since Tomas left and took the trumpet-player and bassist with him.

  • ...and made streetlight manifesto amazing

  • exactly. But personally, my favorite member of Streetlight is Jim Conti, the tenor sax player/backup singer.

  • mike saprano just is fucking amazing. well i play trombone and hes kinda my trombone hero.

  • everyone in Streetlight Manifesto is amazing

    I personally am a fan of Mike Brown.

  • e una merda il nuovo cantante very good old catch22

  • i think catch 22 is a good band, but they should've just changed their name after keasby nights. almost the entire band left after that album, and now they're a completely differant band, and all they're doing is latching on to someone elses's songs instead of trying to create their own identity. plus then all these shitty comments on every single youtube message board of any streetlight or catch song comparing them wouldn't exist.

  • Wow, this is horrible. No one but Tom should sing his songs.

  • agreed 100000%

  • YEA! the mets rule.

  • i dont know what everyone's deal is

    i fucking love SM

    but you have to admit Alone In A Crowd was a good fucking album, Catch 22 is fine without Tomas i think

  • holy shit i was there! like literally right next to where this was being filmed. oddly i dont remember the camera... but it was a damn good show. (and for the record streetlight is better than catch 22 and catch was better with kalnoky. but now that it's done they're both awesome just on different levels.) and im going to see catch saturday! its gonna be tight.

  • Screw Catch, Tomas did everything for them and now they're rippin off his songs. In my opinion Streetlight is so much better considering they're all so much more skilled.

  • true dat. And whats up with that fat guy that replaced him?

  • I don't know i thought that the saxophonist was the singer.

  • seriously why don't they just change the name of the band and avoid all the criticism

  • This was on my birthday, June 28th

  • can someone tell me something? What happened with Tom?

  • Tom's been gone a while... He left to go to art school or something. Now he is in Streetlight Manifesto.

  • this has got nothing on Streetlight.

  • who is this shitty cover band? o wait its new catch my bad lol

  • haha owned

  • yuck. they need tom.

  • "if you hate me so much then stop singing my songs" - Tomas Kalnoky.

  • brilliant

  • sorry guys, but you ain't shit with Tom.

    he was the brains behind the group, so their music went to shit after he left. i like how they still play his songs though

  • oops, i meant to say "WITHOUT Tom"

    but im sure everyones figured that out

  • ugh,

    i hate all the drama youtubers create,

    jesus christ, u either like catch, streetlight, or both, or maybe u hate both

    why do we have to bitch about?

    streetlight is popular cuz they play at bamboozle with the emos(i ddint mean that in a negative way)

    catch isnt popular though there music has a more pop sound

    i like both,

    quit bitching

    thank you

  • No, Streetlight's popular because they have the same amazing writer that made Catch popular in the first place.

  • they woodnt be popular if they didnt play wit da emos

  • Yeah, they would be. I've never even SEEN them live (mainly because I've heard a live recording and unfortunately was unimpressed), but from what I've heard, they've mainly played shows with other ska bands, such as Reel Big Fish, Less than Jake, MU330, The Stitch-Up, and Suburban Legends, just to name a few. Just because The Bamboozle was a stop on their 40 Days and Nights of Tour doesn't mean they play with "the emos". They make good music, THAT's why they're popular.

  • ska is unpopular, but as far as ska is concerned then, yes they are popular.

    i exxaggerated a lil bit, but i still think they dont at all fit in at bamboozle, and this is like the 3rd year they went...

  • They don't, but neither do The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who just got back together and played The Bamboozle.

    And I know Streetlight is one of the more popular ska bands, but that's because they don't do just ska and can appeal to a broader audience. Tomas himself has said "We're a band with a large third-wave ska influence". He's never described them as a ska(-punk) band.

  • it's like catch 22 and tomas kalnoky got a divorce

    and kalnoky kept all the fans

    ...and the talent

  • agreed

  • 1. Catch 22 sucks.

    2. This is the work of a pro, Tomas Kalnoky, not some 2nd generation.

    3. Mets suck, go Sox!

  • 1. Yes.

    2. Yes.

    3. No, then yes. >_>

  • omg get a life u faggot

  • This is awful. There were about two good songs post-Tomas. I wish Catch would stop butchering Tom's songs

  • They arent as good without tom it's true. But give them a break for still singing the songs. I dont know if any of you have been to a Catch 22 concert in the past few years but the whole crowd yells "Keasbey Nights" before every song. People still want to hear catch play that stuff so they should play it.

  • they fuckin suck without tom

  • its not the same they changed i dont need them anyway there not the people that remember yesterday

    (think THPS and u might know what i mean)

  • bodyjar is a good band hehe

  • fuck catch

    streetlight all the way

  • Embarrassing.

  • this is a bad live version, catch has done it better with ryan eldred, but it is best with tom kalnoky, only because we are all used to him singing it

  • my god they are terrible at playing toms songs

  • catch 22 has to give up this album after all the drama they caused, they suck at it anyway

  • yes yes tom wrote the songs. and they both are good bands. but this band is horrible live. and most people agree with me that streetlight is more enjoyable to listen to.

  • Agreed

  • no one plays the same, get over it.

  • THANK YOU

    finally someone else recognizes that

  • Alright i love keasbey nights as much as the nexy guy ,but these guys destroy the song, Thomas is the only person who can sing this song right

  • that tubby guy cant sing. This is acually terrible.. long live streetlight!

  • wow this is so bad. they dont deserve to play any of kalnoky's songs anymore.

  • this dude can't even compare to tomas kalnoky

  • you are kidding look at the title

    HINT "Catch 22 - Keasby Nights (Live")

    Obvious HINT!!! "Keasby Nights"

  • you tard.

  • I loved the original version but this is just litterly butchering one of my favorite songs.....i'm going to go throw up in the toilet now...
