Born Ruffians - "Barnacle Goose"

[trexmadi]

I think when 'indie' people hope that a band never becomes very famous they don't really care about the band, just that they can say they listen to a band that's not mainstream. I love indie music... but for all the bands I listen to I only hope the best for them and that they become famous, because in the end that's most beneficial to them and means they will keep producing more great music.

[wewomo]

idk i dont think complexity defines musical talent, i love john bonham, and led zeppelin, and i really like the born ruffians and the way this guy plays. I think musical talent comes from being able to make something that people like so complex or not i think this guy plays well, I think the guy from vampire weekend plays well. what people like is relative to taste so don't down on somebody just because you dont like their musical style. Wish i could see these guys idk when they come to georgia

[theeoriginalposer]

I get to see them tomorrorrorrow! FUCK YEAH. <3

[thebeattrustee]

@imakery that song cousins is pretty rhythmically intense. No weird time signatures, but plenty of cool syncopation and some nice chops.

My favorite "indie rock" drummer is Brian Mcomber, from Dirty Projectors. Does some cool stuff, like in the song "knotty pine"

If you like complex drumming, listen to Hella. fucking ridiculous.

[ginisis1]

@imakery ouch that hurt, but indie bands can have very complex drumming like vampire weekend and blonde redhead, whose drummer I think sounds a lot like bonham

[imakery]

@ginisis1 you obviously haven't listened to much music if you consider vampire weekends drumming complex. Again i like the band, but you honestly have no idea what you are talking about.

[Gillian3331]

Aww.... so polite to interrupt the song just to say thank you!

[JacksonCustom]

It is on the radio just radio's like XM and Sirius channel CBC they play only indie music.

[Gillian3331]

@JacksonCustom

what channels are those? what are the actual numbers

[totallyraddd]

these guys are the bomb, i hope they come back to australia

[CheckVerb]

I saw them open for Franz Ferdinand, they're shit. I had to leave so I wouldn't fuckin' shoot myself. I missed Franz Ferdinand, but I think it was worth it because these guys are shit. Just shit. Total shit. Huge shit.

[fabittyfab]

Can't wait to see them!

[MamaLlama876]

i wish this stuff was on the radio. but instead we have crappy lady gaga trying to sound futuristi. retarded and deafening at the same time

[fuzzydizzle]

hahah you're soo right

[jtristenn]

@MamaLlama876 i'm kinda glad it' not...last thing i need is for hot topic to start selling their merch...haha :P jk

[ZEExHotnEsS]

so amazing. so so so amazing. i really need to see them live soon

[pimpsicle305]

this is really good

[carouselambra7]

love themmm

[mandmled]

these guys opened for franz ferdinand....they are pretty sweet

[CzeslawMeyer]

They're Better Than Franz Ferdinand. Franz Ferdinand Is Too Overrated With Popularity.

[mandmled]

well, i started listening to them when i was really young so to me back when their older stuff was coming out, they arent overrated at all, and actually a lot of people dont know who they are

[mandmled]

Whats wrong with saying a band is popular?! so, your saying that led zeppelin is too overrated with popularity, cause they are the number one known band in the world basically...

[CzeslawMeyer]

yeah, they are. Led Zeppelin had a good singer and a good bass player, john paul jones. John Bonham is deff overated as a drummer and Jimmy page was in the top 10 best guitarist but they are not the number one group.

I don't even rank them in the top 10 bands.

[mandmled]

That is just a matter of your opinion though, it isn't relevant at all

[imakery]

@CzeslawMeyer john bonham is over rated? HE IS THE FUCKING BEST ROCK DRUMMER EVER TO LIVE. He used so many styles and created his own with them. He used jazz, brazilian, and he was a very humble guy too. So shut your fucking mouth.

[CzeslawMeyer]

@imakery

i could careless about how great you are at an instrument, until you can make that instrument lovable to hear.

In your case, john bonham.

So hush, listen to this great simplistic drumming and this wonderful live version of "barnacle goose", you foul mouth prick.

[imakery]

@CzeslawMeyer this is a very ignorant thing to say. John bonham was very simplistic when the music called for it, but he was also very complex when the music called for it. Thats the thing. He played musically. Also, I am not knocking the drumming of Born Ruffians, I love the band i love the song and the drumming is great. I'm just saying that Bohnam is not overrated.

you indie kids are all the same, you can't take anything that is more complex than a cardboard box.

[shadowlord1990]

These guys were cool. I saw them open for Franz Ferdinand last week. They were great openers for a great show.

[franzlover123]

yeah. these guys wher fun. i especialy liked the substitute drummer. he was the shit! he even played for one of the songs that franz ferdinand did!

[deadlyu12]

HAHAHAHAH.....at 2:32 Mitch messes up and Luke looks over and laughs.......AHAHAHA.......I love how much these guys dont give a shit and just want to have fun.....such great lyrics too

[TyG8]

What kind of guitar do they use?

[foxx0775]

luke is playing a fender nashville telecaster here but usually plays a gibson es335

mitch uses a gibson thunderbird bass

[WhamBamStealTheVan]

i really like these guys :) their music is simple but exciting and ear grabbing. they seem like a bunch of nice guys too

[seytehself]

sho fuckin dank. really good musack.  rock non. yeah!

[JefferyHunt]

For some reason the bass player reminds me of Jeff Tweedy in Uncle Tupelo days.

[linklink335]

i don't think words can portray my love for these guys lol

[shbswife]

I feel like I am cheating on Vampire Weekend. Love, love , love these guys

[tobarrr]

[Movienevermade]

They also came before Vampire Weekend

[Ilovepinguins]

Well vampire weekend is also good ^^, but this is nice as well. Vampire weekend makes me wanna dance like a weirdo....
