Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - American X

[DezzGio]

i love this song very much. this song is best

[JC33545]

Let's make this song the Christmas Number 1!

[b000dah]

the stuff

[Mike1967b]

God Nick is a horrible drummer.  Get off the smack Nick!

[shredswami]

@Mike1967b sounds pretty good to me. He doesn't drop the beat, and there is some improvisation to boot. I am a drummer (we tend to know these things). what does smack have anything to do this with this performance?

[Mike1967b]

@shredswami most of his fills are totally off and there isn't much improv that isn't covering what could be mistakes. Oh yeah and I am a guitarist (we know stuff too). Oh and if you don't know, he was tossed from the band for his smack habit. I am betting that he was pretty tweaked during this performance.

[TheGetor]

Unbelievable!!!

[natacouture]

This, ladies & gentlemen, is rock n roll.

[nirvana0125]

nick fits the band muchz better then lea. But although love them, just such a great sound! Just saw the 2 times live, it was awesome!

[sas147741]

Lean is not bad at all but Nick was the heart of the band :(

[camballero]

Anyone know the setlist for this show?

[alexsand093]

Cheers!

[greamy29]

probably the best song ever

[karlk553]

best fucking band

[alguapo40]

AWESOME BAND. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD BRMC, AMERICAN X WAS PLAYING ON THE SOPRANOS AS BACKGROUND MUSIC AT THE BADA BING STRIP CLUB!

[supermascota]

terrible banda que tuve el agrado de conocer en el quilmes rock 08, la verdad muy buena y este tema me exploto la cabeza sin duda...

[sas147741]

@supermascota VOS TAMBIEN?!! ese recital cambio mi vida, me limpio la cabeza de toda la mierda nacional que estaba escuchando en esa epoca, los vi sin irlos a ver y me termine yendo cuando arrancaron los que si habia ido a ver, fue una revolucion en mi cabeza, despues los vi en el Pepsi y ahora estoy como loco viendo todos los dias a ver cuando traen Beat the Devil's Tattoo por estas tierras!! un abrazo!

[nazbuk]

fucking special band

[czarmusique]

one of my favorite songs from BRMC.

[littleroom333]

A lot should be said for Nick's drumming at the end of that. He's driving the whole heartbeat of that song... all the way to the end.

[stgodless]

"Rock n Roll can never Die"..... Gr8 Goin' Dudes!!

[ShySeen]

love this song...it makes me shiver:)

[hahayouredead33]

This song gets me tripping only by listening to it. Fantastic :)

[picotrain77]

They can't top Baby 81.. It's untoppable.

[pwerplnblak]

just heard a bunch of the new stuff at their live show in Vegas...its pretty badass...

[picotrain77]

Awesome, i've got my ticket to see them in London next month. On my birthday!

[ASTROAVERY]

ahh! howl!

[BrixSnBs]

BRMC are amazing but i got a feeling they can do much more. I really expect them to outdo "Howl" with the next. Can't fucking wait

[KojiroBeatz]

to be honest, i`ve never heard a band like oasis or brmc. sure, there are a lot of amazing bands out there, but to me they`re the BEST!

looking forward to the new lp! gonna see them in cologne in munich next year!!

[chaoticguitarist]

I bought the dvd live, and it's FUCKIN great, amazing gigs amazing songs, in fact, just BRMC

[thebitterhero]

I LOVE how in their concerts, they just add on to their songs and that makes their songs like more awesome. Love this version more than the album version. And robert has some nice arms....

[rocknrollDoll89]

Epic!!!

[fmilia2millions]

Best Rock n Roll (proper rock n roll) band in the world today

[supernova50]

@Conkyrulz: AMEN. AMEN!

[beanchao]

orgasmatic!

[kampaMari]

Sin comentarios. Me encanta

[sushimanse]

The last 3-4 minuts of guitar sounds amazing...

[blackrebelsheep]

does anybody knows where I can watch it?

[picotrain77]

Innit.

[KojiroBeatz]

robert`s voice.. amazing. how much emotion he puts in it..

they`re fucking amazing..

[MiChPuNk]

GREAT SONG!!!

[littleroom333]

This band is sexy, sexy, sexy... (like wow!)

[Malaysiadown]

tune

[garrocks]

This band is the most under-rated band in the world.

[tamerlan25]

they maybe are, but still are the greatest band at the the mo.

[czarmusique]

@garrocks i agree with you.the are really good.

[salam140]

This may be a bold statement, but this is one of the greatest songs in the world. BRMC bloody rock.

High/Low is another one of their brilliant songs!

[picotrain77]

Just say it, best song ever. It feels right.

[picotrain77]

I had a lapdance to this song once. It was insane!!!

[adrianedbe]

EPIC.

[DIGGLEMATE]

Nah Kings of leon are too poppy, should be a dirty band like black market karma, or howling bells

[Shaguar66]

no if they were a band like black market karma, there would be no poppy opposite to great bands like this one and everything would be great. bands like this one are great because there is so many commercial crap.

[dave131a]

never a truer word spoke benhur,i agree.rock on brmc.

[DanielPumpkins]

duuude they are FUCKin great!!!!!!!! can anyone tell me where can i find tabs for this song??

[sliffer234]

I think the main-guitar-part is like:

G: 12 slide to open g and return to 12-14-12-13

something like that :S

[verdemanthe1]

tabs are for posers hear it out and if its a little different then it becomes your version

[jizzinyaeye]

go mary jane

[BenHur76008]

BRMC is a fucking amazing band. Never have a heard a band that is so consistently good with every song they make. They're all distinct, and you can never forget them.

[ziegfeldgrl]

I saw them open for Kings of Leon. Twas a great night

[Shaguar66]

kol should open for them!!

[foalslover]

GREAT song !!!! love this band so much and love robert been he's so hot

[feelinglazed]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is the best band in the world!

[sliffer234]

Yes.

[ag5]

I've never heard better words.

[Ridetonowhere]

same...

[microbus99]

music is my religion and these guys are my god

[microbus99]

Speechless....Awesome!!

[3rdseal]

jesus and mary chain, i suppose... ;o)

[LukaSambuca]

I might just be being very, very english, but who are JAMC?

[RimmelLipstickLover]

Stunning band!leave them alone.

[power99fiona]

oh my god..it's fantastic

[ronar28]

I need to find tabs for this whole solo...

[gnaget23]

Yeah, me to. Do you know how to play the intro? The chords for the whole song? Is there any special tuning? Thanks.

[ronar28]

well its mostly the A sttring 12th fret, sliding down to open

[eyesforgot]

Peter uses that lovely ES-335 for Red Eyes and Tears and that's in Open C so I'd assume. I could be wrong it could be standard tuning. Goto a show, stay after and ask them.

[skull182]

JAMC&BRMC Both Are Great

[sliffer234]

Music in its perfection.

[kenvincurrah]

Is it just me or does this control room show just not give the true experience of a live BRMC show? I have seen them a few times now and it was nothing like this, not that it sounds bad but their live shows are just dark and raw. One of the best live bands out there, blow me away every single time.

[ggluscus]

Don't get me wrong, BRMC is good, but I can NOT say they are the greatest...mainly because they owe a large part of their sound to Jesus and Mary Chain (who pioneered this type of sound imho). I guess that I reserve titles, such as greatest, for the pioneers who have more creativity and push the envelope a bit more...basically, BRMC just does not offer much originality.

[fwmacros]

difference is BRMC do it a lot better than Jesus and Mary chain, who were just scrappy as fuck. Also i wouldnt call jesus and mary chain pioneers. Dirty garage rock has been around longer than they have

[ggluscus]

We are all entitled to our opinions about who is "better". I was merely saying that BRMC has not added much in the way of originality/creativity to this genre of music. No doubt that Jesus and Mary Chain incorporated elements of bands before them--just like the majority of every band today. However, they were not simply a "dirty garage band" (wow you could cover an endless amount of types of sounds in that one category).

[ggluscus]

The difference is that I can not recall Jesus and Mary Chain borrowing so heavily from one single band like BRMC has emulated them. I personally like BRMC (mainly because there are very few modern bands that I enjoy). I just think that they lack creativity, which I obviously value more than you (but that's your prerogative). Also, I disagree that JAMC are "scrappy". If anything, they are kind of mellow.

[ripplesonablankshore]

i dnt think u can say there not creative.4 amazing albums proves that wrong.there just pure rocknroll who cares if there not 100% original,no one is nowadays.

[ggluscus]

You hit the nail on the head ripples by saying that "no one is (original) nowadays". Hence, my resorting to also giving BRMC some credit--they do sound good. However, I just wish that more contemporary bands were willing to break out of the safety of emulating others and offer more excitement in the world of music. I'm not sure how many times I can handle the same sounds being reinvented by subsequent generations.

[ripplesonablankshore]

yeh i know what u mean.i hate when dnt like something cuz its not original to them or people like something tho just cuz its different regardless of quality,not that thts what ur saying,its just something that annoys me

[MarkCooper1]

i agree with you love BRMC but JAMC will always be no1 in my eyes

[ronar28]

I don't think I've ever seen Peter play bass before.

Its incredible how good Robert is on both instruments =P

[travman102]

he also plays bass on as sure as the sun which is really awesome too

[borisboos]

so we all agree then?

BRMC FOR PRESIDENT!

[screendrem]

best band ever my ass! good band thought. Not many modern bands can rival them. muse, queens of the stone age and fischerspooner.

[beanchao]

fucking awesome

they are the best band ever

[musicaltimepieces]

best band eva

[fwmacros]

robert been is god

[BaronessStrange]

i second that..<3

[willieturnip]

agreed. hes a fucking genious. as is peter hayes

[ziegfeldgrl]

Saw them with King of Leon last night... I was in the first row RIGHT in front of Robert for this song. He was literally two feet away. It was AMAZING.

[willieturnip]

that must be have a fucking good gig!

[AntoniauireMcg]

These guys are the greatest, i can't wait to see them at the roundhouse in november!

[zackdelafan]

they have so much soul..... think this is one of the best they've done - they take it somewhere really special

[ninapersson5]

*tint...of voice always hehe

[ninapersson5]

great song from a great band!

as far as voice is concerned, I think Peter's is much more steady, solid and powerful. even in the high parts he never loses it. plus, his tint is just wonderful...

[shredsbass]

yep

[Antarctic1]

great guitar work. i love the last few mins esp.

[Balsch]

Robert owns one of the most original and beautiful voices of rock'n'roll!
