Black Stone Cherry - Things My Father Said Download Festival 2009

[08981969]

Just pure, raw talent, saw them in Manchester supporting Alter Bridge and they were amazing, listen to the lyrics, this song touches base on so many levels.

[ed7600]

Me and my kids saw this performance at Download in 2009. Sadly my husband was killed in a motorbike accident in August this year and my kids asked that this was played at his funeral - there wasn't a dry eye in the church - awesome tune - thank you Black Stone Cherry x

[shippinuptoboston]

he sounds great live. i bet he doesnt use auto tune in reccording sessions

[bobanob596]

@shippinuptoboston Yeah i saw them doing this song live and it was beautiful he sang it much better than this as well. And yeah there is no chance that he would use auto tune in studio.

[Simo93LesPaul]

Get the fuck out you, that fuckin' justin bieber, his fuckin' name in every fuckin video and the idiots that are still posting it. GET A LIFE, get a personality.

[Tomstaj1]

there brilliant live

[wildgeko123]

There are at least 33 people who have watched this video who are insensitive assholes who obviously don't understand the feeling behind this song

[craigyv513]

By far one of the best bands to see live ever. Seen them twice in Birmingham,England and this video doesn't do them justice. EPIC BAND!!!

[MATIKLEPRA]

Justin GAYberga puto! sucks you!

[DeathPunchEngage]

i wasnt botherd about these untill i saw them download 2009 and now ther one of my top favourite bands, this guy is just a massive legend.

[citizenerased4567]

see that? cords right to the amps, just two pedals, volume and dist, no lights no effects, JUST ROCK, saw these guys the other night and they absolutely KILLED

[Dragonicah]

@citizenerased4567 Well they use light when it's dark :D But anyway, best band ever :)

[ninjachelsey]

the version with the piano is better, but this is still amazing

[blackveilbrides432]

omg this song brings shivers down my spine...its so beautiful....iam starting 2 tear up

goodbye papa...RIP...C U IN HEAVEN..i am sorry 4 the things i said ...i miss ur simile and the strength u gave me when i was down in the dumps.....gawd i miss u so much

xoxox

[Play3r0ne]

I got so much respect for these guys for playing such an moving song at Download.

[mattrudd14]

My dad died 8 months ago. I can't hear this without crying.

[XxLarsiixX]

Is he christian? I saw his necklace

[AlexOnSeLine]

@XxLarsiixX : Why not? Jesus rocks !

[AlterBridge06]

@AlexOnSeLine LOL

[AlexOnSeLine]

@AlterBridge06 : What's so funny ?!

[gclskateboarding]

@AlterBridge06 You fucking cunt. Show some respect.

[AlterBridge06]

@gclskateboarding No I'm alright thanks, toodles.

[F1guitarfanatic927]

this terrific band will be the biggest southern rock band ever!!!

[concretepoo]

was there and god they really were wonderful

[Julebrus666]

2 people jizzed when heard this and missed the like button

[Alhambrattp]

blah....sounds like a Eddie Vedder sap epic.

[sonamhf]

@Alhambrattp vedder is an amazing singer but this is southern rock . powerful southern singing (BSC) not some wanna be pearl jam or creed for that matter. u would know this if u listened to lynyrd skynrd.

[Alhambrattp]

@sonamhf

I hate Lynyrd Skynrd.

[sonamhf]

@Alhambrattp i dont know what brings u here. read the title, click on music that u like what ever genre it is and enjoy listening to it. its ridiculous when people hate legitimate rock n roll.

[nessia18]

@Alhambrattp You must hate all southern rock then! ZZ Top frowns upon you!

[Alhambrattp]

@nessia18

ZZ TOP owns.

[DragonHeart619]

i remember this i waz at the back in teers cose 3years pervious i lost my dad b4 i went 2 this event this song is so powerfull and means alot 2 me, lve this band, loved every minuet of download festival,

[Jellybean7293]

Great song! :)!

[MetalMaster625]

Great band

Great song

Great lyrics

its just all great!!

[gerdes75]

I am 35 and been waiting for a band like this . To bad they was not promoted more I would been listing to them way before now .

[ScottishLassie0080]

love these guys!!!Was even lucky enough to see them supporting nickelback!!AMAZING!!!!

[Homocidle3Maniac]

One of the best bands from Kentucky.

[Julebrus666]

@Homocidle3Maniac

One of the best bands on this planet :)

[Homocidle3Maniac]

@Julebrus666 haha, you win :)

this is true though, they should be a lot more known than they are

[alexpulpul]

cool!

[TaneytownPyro]

for me this song would be more fitting for things between me and my stepfather then my biological father who's not been around since I was 3 months old.

[Sanitoeter666]

That's kind of their most famous song, isn't it.

The things our fathers said made us all to what we are, doesn't matter if you're a bad or a good person.

[EdomX]

Viva VENEZUELAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! los ke todavia somos de la REPUBLICA DE VENEZUELAAAAAAA!!!!!

[lollabu]

This song gave me physical shivers.

Awesome xx

[janevolturi100]

HOW OLD IS BEN WILLS????

[Kickstart187]

@janevolturi100 ben wells - and he's about 23ish

[janevolturi100]

@Kickstart187 holy crap wow is the whole band really that young????????

[Kickstart187]

@janevolturi100

i think so yeh theyre all the same age as they all grew up at the same time in two towns just next to each other, theyre all about 23/24 i reckon

definitely one of the best band of the past 20 years though!

[janevolturi100]

@Kickstart187 cool

[billypaul]

if only i had a dad then i could relate to this song..?

[MegaPhoenixBird]

@billypaul

I had a Father who was present but "absent" at the same time.

Just because you have a Father it doesn't mean you have a father figure.

[hfox93]

I totally agree, live this sounded so much better, I was in the crowd and nobody i could hear was complaining, it was a brilliant show.

[MrScary66]

omg a areoplane!

[Sanitoeter666]

Hell yeah i know how he feels. Insane Song, sung by a genius Singer with a killing voice.

[1xXLedZeppelinXx1]

Only if the backing guitar was tuned correctly and the effects weren't so heavy, This would have been perfect.

[MsTroyboy]

Les paul baby oh yes

[themaster0fclimax]

youtube live sound sucks nothing like the real thing.

[briguy332]

@themaster0fclimax no shit. its recorded

[jackass2306]

no one gives a fuck where you got your ringtone..

[xxlAlexlxx]

Want this to be my funeral song.

[anarchy1989a]

@xxlAlexlxx first be a good father, then you deserve it.

[flamecardude]

i have a pic with john fred young it was taken on 10/10/09 oh yeaaaaa

[magicmorls]

ah well rock aint about bein perfect haha

[BenoWoppy]

1 bad note in this 3:15

[XWAsIlayDying]

right, but that can happen to everyone ;-)

[Sanitoeter666]

I'm sorry to say but that was a pretouch. Normally they do this on the Piano, but a bad Note can only be played if it's integrated into the melody, and he had enough space to do this pretouch.

[BenoWoppy]

1 bad note in this

[anthrax6565]

i gotta to meet these guys once! they are so fricken coool!...dont believe i have a pic wit them

[Rocker1005]

My dad died a few months ago, i love these guys and this song makes me cry every time, the words are so exact it's untrue =( Wish i could have gone to Download, Zz Top were there, they were my Dad's fave band =( so much wanted to see them and be there because my dad couldn't be, as a sort of tribute, but it didn't work out ='( hope to see them in the future though, always hope.

[vampy094eva]

i was at download 2009 and i loved wen they were on i cried at this song tho :(

[yourinput]

i was 13 years old when my farther passed away. this hit me hard because not only was he my farther, he was like my big brother. i never really got over the fact that he passed away until i heard this song as it does make you think and it also shows that even though at the time you feel as if your the only one that has experienced it, that actually alot more people have and its songs like this that bring us all together.

[nessia18]

I know the feeling only it was my grandfather who was more of a father figure to me. Same age and it was five days before Christmas. But I know he's looking down on me like the song says.

[yourinput]

that must have been hard for you as it was christmas and as i know too well it isnt the same with any type of loss even the loss of my uncle and grandad effected my christmas even though i was not too close to my grandad. its amazing that even with the greif and all how people pull through hard times. and yes no matter what the ones you have lost are always with you.

[KostaLovesRock]

this song means a lot... when you sing it from the heart.... and we you listen to it with you heart...

[emmmz1989]

seen these live three times: the third time I saw them, they did this song and it was the anniversary of losing my Dad. very emotional!!

[xIRODRiiGO]

soz dude for losing ur dad

[frantiseksvatos]

This song is beautiful. I do love it, but I have to say that the sound is pretty shitty at this perfomance.

[razers1]

This song is just another rock ballad to some. But to many people including myself, it brings tears. My father died in July aged 57. I'm a musician aged 24. And to this day, no song has touched me so much. Black stone cherry has given me something which will stay with me for the rest of my life. It's amazing how just one little song can mean so much.

[Cking507]

I first heard this a month after my father died. I was driving at the time and had to pull over. Can't drive when crying.

[badboimatt675]

This song affects me big time man, reminds me of when my dad died when I was 13, beautiful song!

[VamBriar]

I love cherries :O

They are juicy and red.///

Really yummy

[Falconbaz01]

The leeds gig was awsome, thanks to BSC for comming back to sign and say hello to the fans, very special touch. thanks again Cherry for another awsome night

baz & bran

[XxBloodLust91xX]

Agreed with the comment below! Your fucking damn right we were fucking louder!!! :D Cause we fucking kick ass :P

[xxxMyChemRminexxx]

Doesn't matter if you were louder... Newcastle was still very fucking loud and that's all I care about! :D Newcastle's insane! Can't wait til they come back!

[bridgettewazhere]

Ha! Their gig in Glasgow was before their gig in Newcastle this year, and in Newcastle, Chris's exact words were, "Newcastle... you're the loudest crowd so far on this tour!" Which means we were louder than you! ;)

But yeah, it's really no big deal who was the loudest lol.

[Falconbaz01]

cant wait till leeds tomorrow, third gig this year. cherry you rock awsome guys

great song, see u in leeds tomorrow

Baz & Bran

Cherry Cherry Cherry

[TheMrsnikkisixx]
