Old Crow Medicine Show - Tear It Down

[gunfan50bmg]

They all look so fucking drunk. Wow. lol xDDD

[gibsonfan159]

Not only is Ketch off his arse, his hat keeps appearing out of nowhere. Good times.

[Ecoastmogley]

kind



[MissSharpz]

love those OCMS boys ;)

[Kiki6259]

je crois qu'il s'agit d'un morceau de "Memphis Jug Band" ou de "Gus Cannon" ! j'aime !

[snoopymcculloch]

@zerstoren11 0:19 he took it off if u watch closely u see him flip it off. I thought i was tripped up on somethin at first too...

[johnstonno]

2:36 Tearin it down.

[isthatapotato]

Man, ketch is completely sloshed in this!

[juknjp421]

the fiddle players magic hat!!

[Sorealwv]

one of the greatest songs ever!

[zerstoren11]

What the f is is going on with his hat? is anyone else seeing this

[tuuexx]

@zerstoren11 - thought i was trippin too !-thats a MAGIC hat.

[peterbiltearl]

@zerstoren11 that should be in paranormal activity lol

[1radiomedic]

Awesome!!!



[raz3rburnify]

Applauds, this is proper music.

[jenzeppelin]

fantastic!

[JimiJamTime]

This is like heavy metal folk music..Love it!

[romanthemusician]

OCMS/Avett/Mumford supershow. Let's go, let's make this happen.

[daimonionen]

Blah blah, something uninventive about the 9 people that disliked this. - Like?

[fenderchick1977]

This is the type of music we need to preserve. It's our heritage...a bit of the Scots-Irish hill immigrants remain in the tale-telling, but came out of the hills uniquely American. So glad to see bluegrass making a resurgence! Who says we have no culture to be proud of?

[BillyRDBlakey]

what does this song even mean? Can someone who actually knows help me?

[chuckhf420]

@BillyRDBlakey This is my thought.... I think has to do with your guy/girl cheating on you. "If you catch another mule kickin in your stall" aka if you catch someone else in bed with your lady

[jenzeppelin]

@chuckhf420 i think that you've nailed it. great song. do you know anything about this song? is this an original piece of theirs or an older traditional song? it's great! one of my subs had this as his feature video and it just blew me away when i loaded the page. instant fan!

[chuckhf420]

@jenzeppelin It's an old jug band song, originally titled "bed slats and all" originally played slower. Thats all I know about it

[MrNappi61]

@chuckhf420 yeah it's a song writtem by Will Slade I would guess in the late 20s... his band was called memphis jug band....this version is missing verses that might not be PC theses days...oh wait .....is "i had a woman and her name Eve and every time i hit her she called the police" PC.....maybe not but i love this version of the song

[exclamationpoint]

those old folks are just lovin' this stuff man... and so am I!

[upsidedahead]

spotty muldoon !

[rationalthinker28]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I jam to this in the morning going to work.

[trainrecked]

The bassist looks like Harold on the "Red Green Show" in this clip, and willie a little like Val Kilmer..lol..Oh Yeah, dig them white shades on banjo dude..haha

[Sorealwv]

Greatest thing ever!

[chocfan2]

Which ones willie watson?

[joshspw]

@chocfan2 He's the one playing guitar and singing.

[a89alex]

@chocfan2 blond haired kid, doing most of the singing, on the guitar

[doccface]

Please someone post a vid of this thats synched.

Truely awesome

[UTubeMeTubeWeTube]

Real music played by real people...live!  Good show boys! Just say no to the overproduced, over hyped, Nashville country crap that gets airplay today! This is the real deal and sooooooo much better!

[damndeadheads]

[chippy2758]

I've tore it down a few times. Always had to apoligize the next day.

[zurielzedekiah]

The best

[zane10161987]

Why is Ketch wearing a hat in some clips but not in others? does he keep taking it off and laying it on the ground or what lol?

[tractorkid223]

when ever you can get a older generation 2 dance 2 a younger gen. musical talents that is always a wonderful thing

[jppriddy75]

[Hinchman429]

This song is so good it makes ya want to slap your momma lol

[wushock1991]

[SuperFenderfan]

[HashMaroon]

Willie Watson looks about 12 in this! How long ago was it?

[itsglen9646]

[cjblume]

i liked it but i wanted to 'great it'

[tractorkid223]

when younger musicians can make the older generation get down and boogie.. i dont care what you say thats fukin kik ass

[acraw82]

[hernanratso]

[claymoreman90]

this is what i call music!!..great stuff,it beats the garbage thats pumped out by the culture creators to fuck us up...

[fwsteve]

WOW YOU GUYS ARE GREAT  :)

[mississippisheik1]

Try YouTubing Lonnie Donegan, a skiffle singer from the 60's and see where the head waters are...

[surfsoccerart]

i wanna see em' live... 

[JohnCougarMellowChim]

that's some awesome inbred...but where's willie?

[trainrecked]

@JohnCougarMellowChim That is Willie singing lead..he is like a chameleon..he looks different in a lot of their old stuff.

[JohnCougarMellowChim]

@trainrecked Oh. I guess that could be him. He seemed to enjoy this one more than Next Go Round.

[SingingHawk1942]

How could anyone not like these guys?

[chuckhf420]

Love it. Makes a brother want to dance

[pizss1]

@chuckhf420 brothers dont dance to nigger hangin music or do they?

[chuckhf420]

@pizss1 All of God's children are my brothers and sisters. If it wasn't for black people, we wouldnt have the banjo anyway you racist piece of trash. Maybe one day you will grow up

[country2132]

Chouette !!!!!

[blackjosh838]

i wish i would've known, that's 5 min from my house.

[eyetotheworld]

good to see american folk still being enjoyed!

[Coreythompson309]

ahahaha they are mixing two clips together, where does the fiddle player's cowboy hat go?

[acarlisle420]

@Coreythompson309 hahaha jst noticed that

[Carcrashhhh]

@Coreythompson309 he probably just threw it down.

[sukafubi13]

this is great!!! traditional folk is soo much better than the crap today!

[MellowCruisin]

After watching Karate Kid last night, I kind of lost respect for the American ways.... bluegrass is what restores my hope

[hotrocks83]

i was bought up in the wrong country i love this

[leeby32]

awsome! best band ever

[keesurt]

that mandolin guy is one fucking redneck, haha great band dough

[trainrecked]

Love the look of the whole crowd. Coulda been right out of the dust bowl days..and Willie Watson..well, i think he looks his best in this vid. Great band..wow

[adamschmidt88]

freakin love this!! this is how music should be played...unplugged and outside!

[manray17]

@adamschmidt88 I agree!! acoustic rules so does out of doors...

[blowery2]

How does the hat jump from his head to the ground and back throughout the song?

[PmanAndDdawg]

you know that they are only 20 they are incredible

[jessemparker]

They are the "Tool" (the band) of newgrass!

[SuperBufford]

if you do research bluegrass comes from a mix of old irish and scottish folk music ;)

[ihateusernamesomuch]

its really to bad these guys are so full of shit.

[Spaceman1968]

Woooooooo-wee. Boy, that was a miiiighty fine a-pickin' and a-singin'. I'll tell you what, you come on in here and sign these papers here and I'm a gonna you ten dollars a piece.

[househarr]

did someone tear the little brown house down.oh lord they tore it down.shit...hee hee hee

[lisah82]

Look how young they were! I love these boys so much. OCMS forever!

[LucyStag]

The old people are so pumped and the youngsters lurking in the back aren't so sure.

But the band is so young. I love it.

[krickification]

I hear this wonderful music and suddenly beer and a back porch holler my name from the dark,beckoning a camp fire somewhere...

[mastemarose]

I like the older gentlemen that can't seem to keep himself from dancing in his shoes.. LOL

[CandyPillPirahna]

Woof

[Divintium]

"if i had another avenue aimed at me than to be alive or to get that cocaine then meet me in the alley gimme cocaine"

[crystalincincy]

All I got is two words: BAD ASS! These guys tear it the %uck up!  I want there baby....kidding....ok not really ;)

[Divintium]

at 2:38 that guy looks like he just did a line and that old woman is like "They got raw, niggg."

[stevekeller62]

anyone else realize when he bends down to play fiddle he has a cowboy hat and when he gets back up it gone? ha

[TheStinks0]

@stevekeller62 yeah the hat comes and goes throughout the video. thats hilarious.

[trainrecked]

The bass player looks a lot like Harold on the Red Green show in this video.

[keesurt]

the hillbillyness of the mandoline guy doesn't effect the music:) joking, this is so great!

[freshnightsky]

Skinny little picken turds, love this shit!!

[trainrecked]

@freshnightsky Thanks!! I cracked up! I think thats what I'm gonna call my band.Skinny little picken turds! Hilarious. That is if you don' sue me over the copyright....

[Gr8estStory]

Jeez they should have been billed as 'Old People Medicine Show' that day

[missdexterity]

@Gr8estStory i'll bet they really were medicine for those old people that day!

[idiotboydotcom]

Love this clip. Notice the fiddler. One moment he is wearing a black cowboy hat the next he is not. Got me intrigued. Must be two videos spliced together.

[PriestsandParamedics]

@idiotboydotcom His hat fell off, you can see it on the ground.

[ptrsrsn]

the woman's reaction to the end of the last verse is priceless 2:33

[benkushigian1987]

This really is great, my favorite kind of music. Old Crow is one of the best bands to come around in as long as I can remember. They stay true to the old tyme tradition while bringing a new sound to the genre.

[sillybean541]

is the guy singing the main parts is he willie watson?? wow he looks so different if it!! i like his hair better short!!

[jessemparker]

FUCKIN' RIGHT!!!!

[danielc121162]

great stuff damn they look young here would love to have this dvd

[Haydenismyusername]

Willie Watson is my hero I think.

[birdstuckinchimney]

I'm in love with him....and I'm a *straight* guy!

[italllies]

@ DancesWithLlamas~ one of the most profound statements I've heard in a while.

cheers

[DancesWithLlamas]

This is the kind of music that we need... preserving the beautiful folk and traditional music. The corporate media and music machine seek brainwash us into being collectively influenced by one or a few music genres. The music of true spirit and soul come from this kind of music.

[trey3216]

I couldn't agree more. I'm so fed up with people listening idiotic, dumbing down music like Nickelback.

[DancesWithLlamas]

Yeah, I used to like "alternative" rock, and now I'm even ashamed to say it...that music is the most depressing, soulless pile of bull excrement ever to have been stamped by the corporate machine. I sincerely believe there is something very wrong with that kind of music - especially the "emo" music genres. Every dude I've ever met who listens to that shit has turned completely fem. Everything about that music is the castration of our spirit.

[urmumsbaps]

I know exactly what you mean, but dont drag emo into it. If you look up what emo actually is (protip: emo bands were around in the late 80s and early 90s, there are hardly any in existence now) you'll see it's got just as much soul as OCMS have, even if its not your cup of tea.

[birdstuckinchimney]

Wow that's pretty heavy! I just think emo's a phase that some peeps need to go thru.

[ExUSSailor]

Music, like everything else, is subjective. What holds meaning to you, or I, may be empty and soulless to someone else. That being said, I love music like this. I was raised on a mix of, American roots music, like this, punk rock, and rock a billy.

[sillybean541]

@DancesWithLlamas

nicely said!!!

[birdstuckinchimney]

This music is essentally skiffle, you do all realise that I hope.

[jojorodeo13]

And the problem is ?????? I dont see any homemade instruments so it dont match the diffenition of skiffle , call it what you want but it is musice just the same and i like it !

[birdstuckinchimney]

@jojorodeo13 Who said there was a problem????? I wasn't! I also wasn't aware that "homemade instruments" was a mandatory componant to the definition of skiffle. And I don't just "like it"....I LOVE IT....it makes me dance around my kitchen :-)

[MekTS]

@DancesWithLlamas Sure is a true statement, you should check out the doc "Before the Music Dies" which can be found here on youtube,

[Darklordkime]

@DancesWithLlamas when you use the word brain wash and coperations you sound like a crazy hippy, now i agree with yopu, but just for refrance

[ryanofdeath]

@DancesWithLlamas youre dumb....sorry

[tractorkid223]

@ryanofdeath NO UR DUMB

[ryanofdeath]

@tractorkid223 Ya....definitely not. If you had half a brain you'd recognized the bias opinion with which that comment was written....but you're an idiot like 3/4th of all other commenters on youtube. *sigh*

[HillBilly2230]

Now this is what i call music doesnt get much better than this

[speakercoilmusic]

I just love watching this video because Ketch looks sooooooooooooooooooooooo drunk... A little too much moonshine I would suspect!

[willwrite4food]

helllllll yeah. thats good tunes.

[jshortultimate]

Renfro Valley, KY. It says so in the info for the video.

[cjlogan51246]

saw the show at the majestic... WOW!

[DrDoom53]

damn good music

[damplify]

Makes me want to cluck around out in the dad blasted yard with the chickens. Lord this is what I'm talking about....hell yea

[thetruerock]

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Yakinmama]

This is my favorite song of theirs...would really like to see them tear it down live

[justinge999]

I've seen them 3 times and i love them! I saw them at thr Ryman in Nashville on New Years this year, they put on the best show i've ever seen. Better than ac/dc, billy currington, sugarland, and even kenny chesney and toby keith! They're just great.

[StoneyLaTroy]

i wanna see more from this show - it's real authentic

[cdphatty]

is it just me, or does willie look like val kilmer in this vid

[trainrecked]

@cdphatty You are so right! I think willie is a damn chameleon, he looks totally different in a lot of his videos. Wilie rocks !

[CaseyLovesBrightEyes]

The look on the lady's face at 2:40 is priceless, like she's just awestruck! I love it!

[crockadock]

good call. i love it. Saw these guys play at Delfest back on memorial day weekend. nearly lost my shit. soooo good

[velvetunderpants44]

I think I'd be the same!

[missdexterity]

@CaseyLovesBrightEyes so true! my expression exactly

[GanjikaAranyaka]

@CaseyLovesBrightEyes  i know right. that dude standing in front of her looks like he just had a few bumps

[bmasliuk]

hell ya tear it down! are there any other songs from this show out there?

[jmcjmc2007]

Dunno how I noticed this but I think a hat gets added to the fiddle player between 0:50 and 0:55

[poguemahone1969]

And he's losin it at 1:00 again. Funny...

[mac10guy]

HOLY CRAP!

[bmasliuk]

ya thats crazy huh

[kdocki]

Interestingly, yes... hmm...

[nloesch1010]

you noticed it becuase you watched it

it does

[ceroeck]

this really gives a kind of old feelin' like in the days people had respect for things

[Kogerii]

so much respect for things they wanted to tear them down. ;)

[denvereddennis]

denvereddennis has shared a video with you on YouTube:

[byan70]

GREAT SOUND

[smakemouth7]

very nice i have been around this music since i was borne and this is a favorite

[wovokanarchy]

I love the retro although I'm concerned they are not into going back to lynching blacks from trees.

[HWKUK]

You have to excuse me im from England so not up on much regarding this kinda music, have to say l really love it, this song has a raw edge along with raise a Ruckus, but l do feel this band as they have grown have lost that raw feel and have become more mainstream ( ducks as bricks are thrown) my question to the experts here who l hope might know what l mean could point me to a band that has that raw sound im looking for???

Thanks in advance guys!!

Steve, London

[baldmunster]

not exactly the same style...but check out railroad earth

[DaveKlika]

Damn it, you ducked...haha. I gotta say this though. We all came from one atom....the big bang. And so all of us were created from one thing....be that God or the light. Now When bands go mainstream, I believe thats just because every soul can feel it....Usually... Unless your fighting it and just want to be different and take other rivers to find another fix.. Mainstream to me is just a heavy flowing river with many good vibes. They obviously enjoy making people feel good.

[shitfacedsumbitch]

try looking up 'The Devil Makes 3' old number 7

[ihateg4]

Try the avett brothers.

[danielc121162]

yep Avetts are awesome as well really like their stuff

[HWKUK]

WOW

Steve London

[warftrat87]

OH LAY IT DOWN!

[kickthebuzzards]

...funny seein mr. kinman in that circle
