Sam Roberts - The Gate

[ohsvault]

ram roberts is a bad ass musician

[kevschmidt]

Sam Roberts is amazing. Why is he not worldwide? Seriously, the US needs to put him in more buisness.

[MissyLKS8]

Seriously, great question. But I would miss his small venue shows. But whatever, I'd be thankful I at least discovered him and have his wonderful music in my life. Haha

[seamlesscv1]

yeah i hear a little beatles in there but that aint necessarily a bad thing... good to see someone out there going back to the fundamentals i think

sam and mgmt are two of the coolest acts out there for young guys anyway......

[IamtheWalrus6464]

The first verse vividly reminds me of "Paperback Writer" in it's style - other than that - its more Sam Roberts than Beatles :D

[BiohazerdPanda]

yea on the way home to my moms house me and my dad we listening to and i go dad dosent this remind of you paper back writer because me and my dad are big beatles fans

[Top40ModernRockPlay]

Fuck you. I am the Walrus.

[tehpizzarollz]

Reminds me of The Beatles. That just me?

[Victraelle]

Them and The MGMT for some reason. Well, off of Love at the end of the world.

[cp868985]

which MGMT do you think this sounds like?

[Victraelle]

None in particular...just, at the moment I listened to this song, I had also been listening to a lot of MGMT and heard some similarities.

[Chewyhairball]

Sam Roberts = fucking amazing canadian talent. This rocks, nuff said.

[Theseus005]

unreal

[Jonnyfracz]

There are so many amazing and talented Canadian bands that aren't receiving the attention that they deserve. However, it's cool that people like Sam Roberts, K-os, Bedouin Soundclash etc. are putting us out there part of the growing scene. Killer single.

[therealCanablisS]

chek out slowcoaster ,.,,from the east coast ,,, great band ,,, very talented song writer

[davebest2001]

He sounds UNCANNILY like the Swedish band Soundtrack Of Our Lives on this track. I love Sam Roberts music !

[ArtemisFray]

Pure talent. Sam Roberts Band = love.

[dirkdoggler]

There's a heartbeat missin' in the city....

Profound...

[iamtaday]

What a cutie Sam Roberts is! Seen them live! So rocked my world! This is my fav song...great vid too! Music is the key to life!

[brenan6]

goddamn this guy is brilliant. hes like spiritualized meets the bees. fucking great band (one man?) and great album.

[NigelMK]

They call it the Sam Roberts band, so although he is the main focus of the attention, he still values his band mates as equals as well. :)

[jolene462]

ugh this comment thread is dumb, show me some love at my profile!

[bobiscool180]

ok, i love this band but seriously....

dont these guys know what a razor is?

must be playoff season :P

[barrettviper]

its rock and roll buddy

[JredLapeair]

its a joke cause Sam is a Canadian boy.

[thefool1234]

dude..it's called rock'n roll

[bobiscool180]

oh come on ppl, it was a joke...

[Jasonagf]

I dont know why people are going so insane about it lol. Canadian, beard.... playoff season, makes sense. I laughed lol.

[iamtaday]

fucking jesus christ...that is funny! canadian, beard playoff season! yeppers!

[xKinseh]

hahaha niice man

[RunningWithSkizors]

Saw him in concert tonight!

It was a religious experience!

[Polskaboy28]

wtf

[courtneymccaw]

no i wasnt, ur retarded

[RunningWithSkizors]

As if you know.

Obviously you don't understand exaggeration.

[blink182timess]

great sound and band

and loving the fact they from my home city

[feyoen]

saw his video at Silvercity, "Them Kids". I am definitely going to keep watching for more of this guy. He was a hit with me and my Son. Nice to see fresh talent from my home land. I hope he does very well!

[jocelynbell]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

cant wait to see this beautiful man

[ervicito77]

I actually met Sam Roberts in person at my work. Cool guy. Very down to earth.

[06zr900]

does every canadian have a chip on their shoulder. We get it,he's from canada. We know Canada is a legitimate country in some ways,you don't have to remind us. I'm sure 30 insecure canadians will be waving their gay flags at artpark in Lewiston wednesday.

[lisaopolko]

and you will be there to pick them up? go hate somewhere else, and canada is legit in every way. if you are american dont even start lol.

[hannahchitt]

who are you.and what legitimate country are you from...I have a good guess because your classless ignorance narrows it down to one country...if you want to put down canadians or or gays or whomever, dont do it on the comment page where people are enjoying and celebrating an artist we enjoy.

[RockChicke]

They played this last night at Ed Fest in

Edmonton Ab, canada. Fuckign amazing.

[Stev01337]

No kidding. Awesome.

[bluepowderspaceman]

What a great show!

[dirtybirdy]

kick ass song! the 6 min. album version is so much better though.

[SDMANUZEP]

go canada

[PangwynYo]

Yeah! Go Canada!

[PinkSadie88]

He's from Montreal....represent!

[lucasabu]

From the island : Yes

From the city : No

He's from Pointe-Claire

[becauseIamtheman]

This is such a good song, good to listen to while your high to, but i dont do that shit anymore

[dlyingtruth]

Totally Hot! Blow it up Beat... Excellent!

[briangernon]

Awsome song! Go Sam Roberts!!!! BTW the creepy girl that wispers to him is my COUSIN! GOOOO CANADA!!!

[nick2904]

Yeah he's canadian ! I'm Canadian too ! SAM ROBERTS ROOOOOOCKSS ! =D

[Pampermelon]

is he canadian?

[DChappelle27]

oui oui... french canadians are gay, and so i only laugh at the fact that "yes" in french sounds much like genitals, well what a 5 year old would consider genitals anyways...

[momosauky]

wtf are u talking about

[DChappelle27]

i sure hope your account picture is not of you

[odp2000]

Sams the man and a Loyola Boy

[fender52tele]

sams the man

[mikezephyr]

there's a heartbeat missing in civlization.

beyond this concrete cage, beyond the captivity, the wage slavery, the domestication of senses, emotions, feelings- life! nature.

how i fucking hate industrial civilization.

[Reido2828]

Its not all that bad and im sure your a hypacrit for sayingf thart because every company we work for is industrialized in some way.

[ElGoodo]

You know you could just go outside instead of sitting in front of a computer. Your contradicting yourself..

"Let's go complain about the modern world on the computer!"

[mikezephyr]

i should be tearing down dams right now. but im not. so here i am. i am a hypocrite for not walking the talk. jail does kinda suck.

[ElGoodo]

Well I just don't understand why the kids don't know how to dance to rock and roll!

[momosauky]

wrong song

[monkeybros200]

its the right song isnt it? i think so

[momosauky]

the one ure thinking about is them kids by the same person

[patrickritsma]

hes right

[alivirji]

to hell with you quebec separatists. you wouldnt last without the financial support of canada. even if you were to separate, why should canada babysit you?

Sam Roberts makes me proud to be Canadian. It doesn't matter whether he's Quebequois or not, baube86.

[baube86]

Pourquoi tout le monde parle d'être fier d'être canadien... réveillez-vous, Sam Roberts est un québécois anglophone de Montréal qui parle aussi très bien le français...

[whatabuzz1]

Baube86 Sam roberts est p-e québecois mais lui aussi est fier d'etre canadian ... jverrais pas pourquois qui aurais fais une chanson de canadian dream

[Fishignton]

He played at my university's welcome week last year and I wish he'd come back :(. He is so awesome live I can't possibly describe it.

[tucks888]

reminds me a little of he music video for best of you by the foo fighters.

Awesome song though! and awesome video! SAM ROBERTS! :D

[goalie6035]

they're opening for the eagles

[combatzone10]

Je suis presque le seul québécois dans mon entourage qui se sent canadien et je suis fier de l'être et aussi fier d'avoir de bon artiste comme Sam Roberts.

[xantemos]

ah! finalement un francophone qui est fier de notre heritage canadien. Vive Sam Roberts!

[thefool1234]

si seulement il y en avait plus qui pensait comme sa

[thefool1234]

jpense tout a fait commme toi...disons que Sam Roberts aide a augmenter le sentiment patriotique qui sommeille en moi ;)

[TheMemoryRemains666]

[jayckss]

[whatabuzz1]

[irisvertigo]

"it's all carpet and steel,

we're asleep at the wheel,

and the mayor's just a gun for hire."

genius lyrics. genius music.

[joelonious]

Fuckin-eh,

just about the most badass mother fucking Canadian out there

[man61x]

the most badass is GEORGES ST PIERRE FROM MTL QC BIATCH

[iloveu2themost2]

I'm in love with this band makes me glad im canadian

[dressincobras]

I saw him at Lollapalooza last year. He was wearing the same shirt that Kurt Russell wore in "Big Trouble in Little China". Pretty much the greatest thing since sliced cheese. Not to mention I'm pretty much in love with his sound.

[stealingTHEspotlight]

CANADA IS THE PLACE FOR SAM !

[sidewaysfalling5]

[ruairi15]

[majorchubby]

[fritschij]

Wow I love Sam Roberts!!!!!!!!!!!!

[grosseplotesale]

Désolé, je me suis trompé de pouce, je voulais cliqué sur le pouce en l'air, car j'adore se groupe de musique.

[DClean]

Sam Roberts is one of the only bands from my generation (1990s - to present) that i really appreciate. Oasis is another one.

[cardimale2]

WOUHOU vive Montreal :)

[Deadfish13]

I love these guys! Wahoo Montreal! : ) It's a real great song! : )

[BohemianTaco]

Oh my, how I love Sammy. His music videos are few but they're all so dazzling. Of course, what better respect to pay to amazing songs than brilliant visuals.. Still I rather liked the "Don't Walk Away Eileen" video for reasons I can't pin, and it kinda makes me wish SRB would make more vids with a storyline instead of just a series of spectacular images. Not that the images aren't lovely, just that it would be interesting to see what kind of a story one could put to their songs.

[chaseman12]

the new neil young. the man can write! and play! and sing! Yes to Sam!

[artistawake]

I love sam roberts,
