vnv nation - standing (live)

[EffoAnderson]

Laysers, that'll do fine!

[Hockeyguy17]

"Mark do we have any lasers??" Aww yeah!

[schnubbel76]

love how ronan changes over the years. here still with hair and half the weight as now. but the music was and is always best

[Gonken88]

who would have thought they would be this good live.. but the simplicity of the music is probably what makes it easier. still great.

[Horst734]

25.12.11-DARKSTORM!!! +.+

[sirwootalot]

They played this last night in Saint Paul and my fucking head exploded. Seriously, I don't know how i'm typing this without a head.

[Vleshma]

all time favorite song of VnV

[Migachello]

I WANT TO BE THERE! WHere is it????

[Horacechicken]

@resurrectedwreck - thanks, I already have it, and you're right, that's the nearest. None of the versions are as hard as this tho. Cheers for the info anyway, much appreciated.

[Rusheeth]

HAVE TO SEE THEM LIVE SO MUCH!

[SSSskirmish]

In a melodic trance

[Acidpapst]

Ist es annormal wenn mir bei dem Song Tränen in die Augen schiessen ???

[DerGoldesel]

@Acidpapst Nein !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[AiraGranuaile]

@Acidpapst ich krieg nach ALL den Jahren immer noch Gänsehaut bei dem Lied, ist einfach zu bewegend

[Ameise1971]

Meine Fresse, wie lang is der Auftritt jetzt her? 10 Jahre? o.O Da hatte Kerl ja noch Haare... ;)

[Horacechicken]

Anyone know if there's a recorded version of this mix? I've got about 5 versions of "Standing" but none of them as good as this...

[resurrectedwreck]

@Horacechicken Get "Standing (Motion)" if you don't already have it.

[Luteccia]

immer wieder Gänsehaut ^^

[jazistardust]

i intend to dance to this song at my wedding...

[raabclan1]

@jazistardust ....awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[Caffiend]

I love this song. I love the energy. I love the crowd. And I love that there must be a pretty R rated reason they've decided to not show the front of that woman sitting on the guy's shoulders. :D

[RedRockFilmFestival]

@Caffiend …or maybe she had a "Twilight" T-Shirt on… that would be reason not to show her.

[spagent4711]

Und dieses Jahr (2011) rocken sie die Mera Luna Hauptbühne. Sehr Geil.

[JezzMorpork]

<<3<3<3

[caskave]

It's like a god speaking...

[TheOlaf1965]

See you again on wgt 2011 in leipzig...i really hope so

[PointOfLight1]

"Strength of youth!" Ronan!

[TardsOfParadise]

Ronan looked so young. Now he has a pot belly and no hair. But he still kicks ass!

[missjade29]

That looks like the Hanger stage at M'era Luna

[LinkinFlocke]

@missjade29 it is!!!

[kitty0tikara]

He had hair at one time?!

[vitaschwarz]

the mindfukking great voice with the so great sound behind ... yeah i will moving :)

[Kylearn]

Welches M'era Luna ist das denn? Muss ja uralt sein, Ronan mit Haaren :)

Absolute Gänsehaut, beste Live-Band die ich je gesehen habe!

[demiantoxico68]

Thank's

[kocy74]

@Blitzer2673 mir gehts genau so!!

So voller Energie!!!!

[matthewberry77]

19 people fail at life!

[Blitzer2673]

Einfach Hammergeil, ab Minute 3:44 fing ich an mich einzunässen!

[DerGoldesel]

@Blitzer2673 

[roguemutt]

The energy of this live must be AMAZING! 

[hexvenus]

@roguemutt You have not lived until you have gone to a VNV gig. Seriously! I went to one in 2008 and it was almost a religious experience. The energy of the crowd is just mind blowing! If you ever get the chance, embrace it with everything you've got - you will NOT regret it!!! <3

[roguemutt]

@hexvenus that settles it...they simply MUST come to Canada. Ronan is a genius!!

[Atomic440]

@hexvenus Yeah, I was at one about this time last year. Amazing!

[Lisha616]

Sorry Electronaut76 I did. I know the two bands are completely different in terms of genre and musical lyrics. VNV obviously is more serious about their lyrics. For me though its all about the energy and melody and both bands are awesome when it comes to that aspect. You could refer to Scooter what ever you like to call them. I love the energy of both bands no matter what the genre of music. Just give me a euphoric beat or a haunting melody and I don`t get care who it is. I love it!

[Hollarione]

One of my alltime-favorites and VNV Nation live is always great.

If you have the chance to see them live go there...

[MsCaro68]

Das waren noch Zeiten...aber so geil und unvergessen... Mera Luna ist eben das beste Festival !!!

[Lisha616]

Other than Scooter I have not seen such a energetic performance like this band seems to creates. WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Electronaut76]

@Lisha616 Please tell me you just didn´t compare those crappy Scooter fags with this epic band VNV Nation?? Oo

[crazymorph86]

Was this concert ever released on CD? Or does this exist in MP3 (HQ) format?

[rudixxxl]

das waren noch zeiten,aber naja!!

[rauleeter]

What i love most about vnv nation is the positivity they ooze out in their music..its upbeat..unapologetic and heartfelt..i hope to get to see them live soon..they are an amazing musical group.

[synthfugl]

@LemovFijasko33

Haha!

[msteiner90]

is this a richard simmons video?

[darkwar12345]

look up holding on. its amazing, and also airships

[mentalthink]

really awesome, I like this gouys very much, every song was they made, are really original and cool.

[kitty0tikara]

Deine Lakaien is my favorite band, but VnV will always be my first electro band. :D

[mcrapper001]

For the first time i hear VNV Nation...ooooo, I like this shit!!!!!

[AngryJarvey]

I remember the first time I was privileged to see VNV live. This song came on towards the end of their set. It might have been the happiest time I can think of.

[atomkfull]

JUST DANCE,? DON'T THINK DON'T BELEIVE ,?

[sargonnis]

Utter amazing band...And they are so humble to their fans.

[malenkastara]

what are fucking great band .....awsome song....

[Mangticore1023]

It's hard to stay in a bad mood after watching or listening to a live VNV Nation performance.

[MacDee0]

This Stuff Rocks!! Like it

Greatings from Germany

[MacDee0]

[titatitoutatin]

[Hockeyguy17]

Where was this show held at? Anyone, anyone???

[katama74]

@Hockeyguy17 Guess it's at Mera Luna.

[virasabena]

"Mark, do we have any lasers?" is one of those wonderful things said at least once during every VNV Nation concert.

[CAJUEBM]

the best song

big gig in Brazil

[SturmWolfe]

Woooo I'm seeing them this Saturday. =)

Very excited

[BlueSpirals]

What did he say? "That's enough, stop!" right? at 2:29

[schnubbel76]

@BlueSpirals

i understand something like: "maximum stomp"

but not sure

[acfball]

this band got me into dance/ electronic music. Great group.

[BlueSpirals]

All time favorite song.

Of ALL time.

[schnubbel76]

they come to my town at march 12th. im so excited!

[college12003]

[felicia92271]

[osvaldoSIMON]

singer fat? your mind is fat of prejudices.

Great music, great letters, everything else cares!

[Jpkingu2]

Correction: you are a shallow piece of shit.

[MistressH]

yeah vnv brings tears to my eyes

[coolblackrain1]

I have to see these guys live!!!

[minkuria]

I slept with this guy last night after his concert :)

[darkriver29]

Ugh...Thanks for sharing

[TheElectro2009]

Super great performance,Love VNV NATION!!!

[deathonaburrito2]

this is a total euphoria song.

[kaitaelle]

Cried when they sang this at Club Nokia in LA in June... I need to upload those clips... I recorded ALL of the concert. AMAZING.

[martyrhate]

I wish they would come to the states

[diarmeco]

Sus canciones son expectaculares! Liricas profundas e increibles

[PsychotikAngel]

me encanta como canta el tiene una voz que me lleva a otros mundos... y la musica de vnv nation en general

[alexsandro6666]

[MikaGTP44]

Very Very Nice...O M G iiiiiiittttttttttttttttt feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelss­sssssssssssss Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Ghoulina22]

this is one of my fav. songs by them.

[ApotheosiZ]

Is there any live video on youtube of solitary that was playing for last 5 seconds of this clip?

[Nitro090995]

Yes, though right now I can't find it

[EstrellaMatutina666]

Fantastic. I've seen them in Barcelona.

[Susi83714]

C U @ sep 20th backstage munich

[HdPI]

Today I've seen them there (Backstage Munich). It was such an amazing show!!!

[LazarianV]

never seen them live, but I hope to, next time they come to Detroit.

[rantingkitten]

Saw them in Atlanta a few days ago. Best show I've seen in ages. Just absolutely fantastic.

[Mellotoon]

I couldn't agree more, it was even greater than the Judgement show.

[adrianmacten]

I'm just looking for a ticket for Sep 20th in Backstage Werk Munich, so if anyone know where to buy it, please ask me. I'm going from Mexico to Germany on vacation and planing to go to the concert, I gotta go there coz they won't come to Mexico :-(, So, Helfen Sie mir, help me!!!

[kuroiyama]

just wrote u an email

[Ducks4President]

They're playing in Tampa tonight! F yes.

[Hockeyguy17]

Saw em on Tues 22nd here in DC, good show as always and this song is the best live...just wished Ronan wouldve sang this tune w/the same intensity he had here in this video at my show in DC, the crowd wouldve been into it 10xs more, nonetheless what a awesome f-ing tune...MArk just kills the drums set and beats em up good

[NestoRubio]

ive seen them three times. AMAZING LIVE BAND. TRUST

[TCzopek]

I loved that song...went to there live preformance in denver co on sunday

[AlephErsatz]

Absolutely worth seeing, especially in a smalelr venue.

I saw them in a small club a couple of years ago.  Ronan has a really good time, and interacts with his crowd, but does not take shit from anyone.

When they started, they played one song, then stopped and started talking and got given some gifts, including some stuffed moose and a raygun. (Yes, in Canada) He had a good time goshing the crowd, but he kept the moose visible on stage and posed with the raygun. It was hillarious.

[YanSSJ5]

I went to see em live twice, they are SOOOoo good live

[xoAndreaMariexo]

They are on tour now... look on the website for dates

[AY676]

Sounds realy great!..

Y.

[nark500]

O my god...

[nark500]

...this was really good perform

[kiikyo]

One of my favorite VNV songs!!!!!!!! Want to see them live so bad!

[Scuzzy89]

Absolutley love the Motion mix of Standing. :)

[polterter]

He's sweet :D and this is a great song! the cd standing/burning empires is amazing!

[MannosT]

Fuckin' great ! ... Greetings from Greece!

[Hockeyguy17]

These guys are incredible LIVE! If you get the chance go and enjoy the spectacle!

[VampRune]

I'm trying to find the song that comes on at the end of the video.

[jbr7rr]

there are actualy two songs on the end,

one is darkangel,

second i dont know the name of,

[z303]

Sounds like Solitary to me

[lascivit]

solitary

[nuformzdesign]

just out of curiosity, how do you all think VNV Nation compares with, say, Suicide Commando?

[Agnubahs]

Both are amazing in their respective genres.

[VampRune]

What's the song coming on at the near end of this video?

[lascivit]

solitary

[spikeim]

Che puccio quando balla *_* XD

[VampRune]

These guys are so amazing, I regret not seeing them when I could've! *hits self and sighs* oh well, another time will hopefully come.

[neo214]

It will be the best experience you have, I have seen them 3 times, the last time I was sick and they oversold the place, but the other 2 times were better than you can imagine!

[zurtur]

Why is there so much pressure in Goth singers to be Not Gay ?

you can be old , fat , gay , flamboyant or even ridiculous and make such a great music !

[chrisschef]

OK great track but mr mummy dancing around is a little odd give it up maybe pretend to have fallen from your comode and twisted ankle and sit down lol

[Elotastic]

I think maybe he just shouldn't dance... Love the song though.

[misssadie]

He really shouldn't - but then I don't think he cares, and he's having fun :)

[MrTotallyRad]

I love this band, but this is probably the gayest thing I have ever seen by this guy. He's prancing like JT.

[NihilChaos89]

SO WHO ELSE LIKES BLACK METAL?

[darkriver29]

EBM = Electronic Black Metal

[vooood]

i'm sorry to say this, but did your mother drop you on your head when you were younger?

[Kalcite]

Haha

And here I was being a retard thinking it meant Electonic Body Music. Why how retarded am I?

Also, to be honest, VNV Nation isn't 'one of the best futurepop bands' They are simply THE best futuruepop band, and the original at that seeing as they came up with the 'Futurepop' genre

[spyderwidow]

EBM means Electronic Body Music

[GreenFont]

Was "Standing" one of their older tracks from their EBM period?

[deksam101]

I love this band, killer song! this band and Assemblage 23 are both bands are very addictive! Rock on!

[PuddingKroeteXY]

I love them <3

[BLULILROSE]

Amazing song! Awesome band!!

[AubinMagnus]

Obviously later on in a show as Ronan is COVERED in sweat. Love VNV, seen them three times live, and they put on an amazing show, with feeling and passion.

[ViperaLLAP2U]

I have been to 3 of their concerts and I swear that they put on the greatest concerts! No way that you can sit still!!!

I can not choose a favorite song by them but this is definitely in my top 5 from them!

I LOVE VNV NATION!!! \(^o^)/

[cugamer]

I've seen them live twice and they do put on a fantastic show.

[eggsandwich8885]

This music sucks, Rap is better...j/k! = b Awesome song!

[Curry4King]

hahahaaaa

rtaps not music... just a senseless compilation of noise and stupid words (lyrics would be too much)

and by the way: Why are you listening to this if you dont like it? and why are you even commenting it? do you think you get us to hear your "music"? and theres the whole VNV Nation fancommunity behind me. so shut off and stop writing such a bullshit!

[eggsandwich8885]

Youu F@(k!ng stupid, dude. I said I was only kidding, moron. If you bothered to read properly you will see that I said, "awesome song."

[Curry4King]

okay then I'm sorry i understood it wrong. i thought that that "Great Song" belongs to the name of those rap-tracks.

my fault

[DarkIndustry502]

My god this song kicks ass...so futuristic and catchy...one of the best ever created by VNV

[trapy]

if you're complaining about his outfit or dance, and that's enough to put you off 'em, you're nothing but another hollow shell which cares only about fashion and looks. Ronan's music and personality are on a higher level than that.

[huinga]

dont really know em but i sure like their electro/dance tunes, i didnt know they are all about morality and philosophy and stuff..

[NickCivilo]

3:50...my god.. 5 stars..

[fivebythree]

whoa, was that necessary? vnv paved the way for many of those GENERIC trance acts you're in love with. give credit where it's due... jerk.

[DarkDragon606]

u say it

[Vvaaryk]

Love the song, band, and singer's voice!!

Unfortunately they changed the background... The powerful ambient background sound is what made this song special for me. :[ Still love it, but it really lost its eerie feeling of power... Oh well, VNV Nation kicks ass anyway

[CarbonFibreHeart]

I love vnv but wtf is ronan wearing. lolz.. So silly little man!

[Nitro090995]

I think it's called cloth?

[CarbonFibreHeart]

Yea, but i thik he's clothes are funny! ^_^

[sharkuc]

I've seen it referred to as his "Daffyd the only gay in the village" outfit. :P And yeah they are great, but he does look silly in it. I've personally never seen him wear it though... I think someone must have clued him in.

[ebmmietze]

dieses jahr waren sie aufm luna auf der hauptbühne, geil war´s!!!!!

[oilily1]

M'era Luna yehar!

[DarkAngel797]

Kinda, but you must admit the beat and lyrics rock!

[Wupideedoo]

Yeah, seriously... What a loser fairy for, y'know, enjoying the music he makes and doing his own thing.

Like he said.. "Just dance".

[elusivist]

i saw VNV Nation live at ManRay in Boston years ago, for the release of Future Perfect...they were AMAZING...
