Streetlight Manifesto - On & On & On

[BrutusOptimus]

@irkedpuppy You say that like it's a bad thing.

[irkedpuppy]

Damn. Liked one song on Pandora, looked them up, and now I'm putting every Streetlight Manifesto song I can find on my iPod.

[thijsbults]

catch22 is streetlight without all the trumpets

[Cactusman96]

If this song was a human being. I'd marry it.

[Caboose523]

Little people enjoy things just as much as we do. Don't worry.

[sargantfrosty]

When I listen to this band, all my troubles seem small and I enjoy life.

[1semc]

demaciado criminal

[backoffpunk95]

good whistlin music.

[Guitarninja0]

so I'm convinced the first "they're black they're white we're purple" is said "thblthwhwepublrur" or something like that.

[paskaven]

WHAT THE FUCK HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAH :D:D:D:D:D:D

[hitmanfletch420]

ska kids arent supposed to fight guys let us all just skank and and say both bands are awesome!

[juventusoccer]

While you guys are all fighting about catch 22 and streetlight, anyone notice pachelbel's canon in d at 1:10 ?

[Thefrickenator]

@juventusoccer YES! and it made my life the first time i heard this!

[skatejam7]

2:25 Click here for awesome.

[foivosanimator]

KALNOKY DOESNT ROCK!!!!what is wrong with u all? kalnoky ska's.....

[11snicklefritz]

@foivosanimator ur a dumbass

[PatchworkParamedic]

@11snicklefritz Then what the hell are you?

[Scarvus2]

@foivosanimator More Jazz-Punk than Ska.

Just saiyan.

[Dankeification]

@Scarvus2 Tomas said it himself, it's trash-ska. Honestly, myself I don't care what genre they are I believe their music is beautiful and fucking awesome regardless.

-Peace

[misfit88]

you know what?... im just glad i found this band or else i might not be here to enjoy it!

[WGvsWG]

Awesome!!

[ThatOtherSTD]

Ok here's the deal. The two bands are a bit different. I like Streetlight a bit more, its a bit faster. But if anyone prefers Catch 22 I'm fine with that.

[Skopetake]

Catch 22>Streetlight Manifesto

[fergmacmi]

I have to say, one of the more upsetting moments of my life was learning that Tomas Kalnoky is a bit of a jerk... sigh.

[GoodgriefMaltese]

@fergmacmi How so?

[fergmacmi]

@GoodgriefMaltese Well, he really pulled some dick moves on Catch 22. Like after he left, he didn't want to let them play any of the songs that he wrote for them. Also he kinda acts full of himself a lot at interviews and stuff. Although in recent years he's not anymore. He and Catch 22 are friends again and he seems a lot more laid back now. I guess I had only seen his bad side.

[itskragus]

@fergmacmi No, no, no... all that idea that there was bad blood between Catch and Streetlight was made up, and when Tomas heard about it he wrote that part into "Moment of Silence" where he says "if you hate me so much then stop singing my songs!" But yeah, most of that was assumed because both groups were signed to Victory Records who were the douche bags.

Plus, on a lot of the live shows he's actually not full of himself, he's actually got low self-esteem, from what I've seen.

[barneel0verz]

@fergmacmi aww damn, how is he a jerk?

[Blelible]

1:17 starts Canon in D

; D

[GoodgriefMaltese]

@Blelible i wasn't sure at first, but it totally is

[zero8kira]

Man, I just LOVE how they sing so freakin' fast :D

[lion10666]

@everyone complaining

8====D~~~~

[zero8kira]

@lion10666 lol  ~~~<===3

[justkicktebuket]

Hey, at least nobody has disliked this! =P

[Youtubican]

@justkicktebuket

Probably that one dislike that is now there is because of you now :P

[justkicktebuket]

@Youtubican well, good news is theres still no red line!! :P

[hairyscarydrapes]

This is way better than the catch 22 album. The sound has more crispness.

[SGRock94]

@hairyscarydrapes i kinda like the "crispnessless" in the keasbey nights album for catch 22 but this good as well :D

[Vberg56]

sad how little people enjoy this band :(

[Rahrhino]

@Vberg56 HEY! Little people can enjoy whatever bands they want! :P

[Harrotherestranger]

@Vberg56 Hey, midgets are allowed to enjoy the genius of Streetlight as well...

[Rahrhino]

@Vberg56 hey man, little people are allowed to like great music too! :P

[lolomgwtfpwnt]

@Vberg56

Are you implying that a lot of midgets like that band?

[djkells3]

this song is great i need to get cash immediately so i can buy all these albums ;D

[BrianFarmar]

@djkells3 Better idea, pirate the albums, go to a streetlight show and hand Tomas a 20 dollar bill, they get the more money than they would if you bought the albums and the record company gets none. The way it should be.

[PaulxJF]

@BrianFarmar Seriously, saw them over a year ago and to quote the great Tohkay " All of our music is available for free SOMEWHERE on the internet, it's not exactly legal but you have our blessing."

[TheMarsBandsSite]

@BrianFarmar Amen, brother!

[halosparton]

@BrianFarmar Damn right.

[killeragnew]

@BrianFarmar Agreed sir, I am a chronic music pirate, but I go to shows and drop ass on merch cause that's where bands make their money.

[andy3393]

1:18 pachelbel canon

[Caecenno]

@andy3393 The whole song is Pachelbel's Canon in D...

[andy3393]

@Caecenno I know, but it's more pronounced there than anywhere else

[floppernopper]

@andy3393 i know it's great ^^

[sirstanlee]

@andy3393

dammit! THAT'S what it is. There was always something familiar about the baseline. Now I know, and knowing's half the battle.

[skateforpeace123]

what's with all of the 4 chan faggots listening to Streetlight?...

[coolerthanu7745]

@skateforpeace123 its good music. be glad that they appreciate it, they hate just about everything.

[skateforpeace123]

@coolerthanu7745 true, true...

[violetsareblueb]

this is an amazing song played slower it sounds alot better

[travisgoode]

@violetsareblueb eh i can't stand the slower version lol but thats just me

[shaunmchale]

nice tip of the hat to pachebells cannon in the middle.people that aretrying to put it in a category should get over it. its MUSIC it doesnt have to be punk or ska or rock or classical its just MUSIC and its great.

[tito720]

@shaunmchale i call this hardcore jazz hahaha

[CoolstorytroII]

I hear some people call them "Skunk" ska and punk...

I personally call them

"Thanducks"

It's short for THIS-BAND-SUCKS

Yellowcard and Avenged Seven Fold are better.

[sneakysnicker]

@CoolstorytroII 4chan no wonder you have horribe taste in music

[CoolstorytroII]

@sneakysnicker

lol u mad bro?

[Rinenan]

@CoolstorytroII i agree but i love streetlight

[knobsdog]

@CoolstorytroII ...Really yellowcard is better than this band? Maybe if you're a horny college chick that likes hairgel and axe body sprayed dude's with fake tans and violins...lol...yellowcard has a couple good songs but they can't hold a candle to SLM...

[CoolstorytroII]

@knobsdog

LOL U MAD?

[knobsdog]

@CoolstorytroII nope

[Grave187RIP13]

@CoolstorytroII And you're gay so shut your fucking mouth.

[CoolstorytroII]

@Grave187RIP13

Whoa whoa? U MAD?

[VanillaFudgeRipple]

@CoolstorytroII I like A7x, but i dont like yellowcard to much, but i still agree with you.

[belchingdonkeyy]

@CoolstorytroII tits or gtfo

[rocketgem79]

i hear some people call streetlight 'skunk' - Ska & punk

[belchingdonkeyy]

thats dumb because for a ska band, streetlight isnt very punk.

[rocketgem79]

I think in some of their songs they sound more ska-y and in some they sound more punky. Tomas himself said Streetlight is more of a punk band than ska.

[belchingdonkeyy]

@rocketgem79

i guess, they have punk beats throughout most their songs, but they rarely use punk guitars. its usually either ska or reggae style. streetlight is amazing either way, im just sayin :{D>

[belchingdonkeyy]

well i mean, in comparison to other ska bands like less than jake, the flaming tsunamis or other ska bands that have much more punk in their music

[punxnotdeaded]

@belchingdonkeyy punk is more about the attitude than the sound. of course its gotta sound a little bit more like punk but i definitely hear it in their lyrics

[kastraphical]

=] awsome

[sejskk]

awesome lyrics, and i love how they incorporated pachelbel's canon into this. :D

[XxBABYXKICKERxX]

catch-22 fails lol

[DefXsight]

ehh... its not as fun as catch 22's...its sounds contained.

[DexterousGamer]

I love Streetlight Manifesto and all, but I truly believe that Catch 22's version of Keasbey Nights is a lot better than Streetlight's.

[ps3blazer420]

go street fuck catch

[ThERiGhtFuL]

what specific type of music would this be classified as?

[EnterPseudonym]

revolutionary, but most people consider it ska

[AdrianRayn]

The fucking epic kind.

Or, third-wave (some would even argue fourth-wave) ska.

[EnterPseudonym]

well since this was written when Tomas was in catch, its more along the lines of 3rd wave, but his other music besides Keasbey Nights i consider revolutionary because there is no 4th wave ska

[Pawnbroker12]

streetlight is THE fourth wave!!! kinda :)

[chrisamiss13]

Fourth wave sounds... unoriginal. Lets see if we can get it to something new, kinda like how we went from two tone to thrid wave, a drastic change. Lets try to change it, something better than fourth gen tho, even tho thats all anyone comes up with besides fourth wave. Any suggestions?

[ChefChexMex]

No Torso!!!!.

Sadly they broke up :(

[cdsnatcher]

ska!

[moodapiller]

ska

[Skachuck]

This song just isn't the same without the "THREE-FOUR" at the beginning

[lookXaXninjaX]

catch 22 sucks its all about streetlight

[djk3v711]

Catch only sucks because Kalnoky left lol and went where? Streetlight! ^_^

[Alivefornow]

Really all this fighting between who's better....

Kalnoky just rocks plain and simple and what ever band he's in rocks to.

[djk3v711]

Too true...it really is about Kalnoky...i mean, look at Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution...another win for Tomas! The man is 3 for 3...amazing!

[jimbeo]

actually he was in a band named gimp and that band is ok the only song i really like by them is their version of super nothing

[djk3v711]

4 for 4 then? lol

[khack45456]

he has been in 4 bands....

[987657654321]

catch, botar, streetlight...whats the fourth?

[Robocrat]

Gimp. When he was a young'n.

[theFlyingTrumpet]

hell yeah!! love that demo tape!

[gamer4life444]

@Robocrat lol "young'n"

[djkells3]

@Robocrat lol so many bands

[djkells3]

@987657654321 xD that s a good question

[Nireves33]

@djk3v711 To be fair Catch 22 was still pretty good when they had Jeff Davidson as a singer. At least I think Alone in a Crowd is a pretty good album.

[djk3v711]

@Nireves33 I'll give you that. I've heard some of their post-Kalnoky stuff, and I enjoy some of it. But what we were establishing here is that Kalnoky is just a god among men, amirite? Guy has the touch of Midas!

[justkicktebuket]

@djk3v711 i agree 

[Dem640]

@djk3v711 with good reason ;D

[StopSomething]

at least catch 22 doesn't have terrible fan boys

[lz3390]

I love absolutely all of Kalnoky's work, but I still feel like BOTAR was his absolute musical prime in the regard of musical depth and complexity.

[MourningSage21]

Still this song is increadably entertaining and btw a verygood song even though it does sound remarably similar to the other version

[hbjjhjh]

so true

[Idontknowjustbored]

idk, the only difference i see between the two is their recording equipment.

[zzStuffyzz]

And better.

[DodGe111594]

wow this is signifigantly faster than the catch 22 version
