The Faint - Paranoiattack (Live)

[thelocal711]

what makes this band even better is the fact that they came out of Nebraska. Gotta be the hardest thing ever to try and find a group of middle aged dudes to play crazy indie-dance music in Omaha. thankfully they made it happen though!

[JWMCobraLord]

good song choice to play on network tv

[AmnesiacGaming]

the faint + new noise by refused at the end = orgasms

[paradigmdashed]

one of the few bands that is better live than any other medium .. seen 'em four times and each better than the last

[FlyrockRecords]

make up.  make up artists. the drummer isn't even hitting the snare. and what keyboard is the keyboard even playing.. i believe the bassist. not saying. badasss producer.

[samuraipizzacat29]

@FlyrockRecords Actually - the top keyboard is a nord wave (it's a sampling keyboard). so he's basically just holding down a note and using the mod wheel to make it go nuts. The other two keyboards are yamaha an1x's (i have one). and you can sequence the heck out of them. Hence the crazy blip lines etc. the drummer uses piezos mounted to his drum kit, hence the electronic sounds in most of their albums. so, yeah, they're really playing - just using a few tricks :)

[iceman72501]

wtf they all look fruity and the drummer looks like he just left a lynyrd skynyrd dress rehearsal or some shit

[colintron]

@iceman72501 Yeah, it's brilliant.

[MarijuanaGood4U]

GAY

[csteele24]

i hate jimmy kimmel.....LOVE the Faint

[bunnyyG]

GAY PERFORMANCE GREAT SONG. Real manly guys real fucking manly, hahahah.

[LoveFromBelow1993]

I'd love to be the guitarist in The Faint, you just have to dance about a bit.

[PigInFlight]

the keyboard player looks friggin stupid.

[reball1]

@PigInFlight dude thats my friend..he not like this at all in real life

[GrooveInYourOwnTime]

the finale scared the shit out of me!

[vanessaaa23]

[LakaiKid911]

[jawdrop1]

[grillmafia]

[crazymonkeyontrees]

best band ever

[nerual92]

I LOVE the Faint :)

[DIPPER19WOW]

SUPPER!!!!!:-)))

[championofidiots]

awesome

[ChaosFerTheKids]

Beast ass bass and dancin'.

[pepecocastube]

Not much (if anything) is live apart from vocals in this vid....

Check out THE PANCHUS or GOOSE for real live electro acts.

[BigFatSandwich]

how do you know this?

[jesse154]

the main synth riff is live, the guitar is live, the bass is live, the vocals are live, the drums are live. theres minor supplementary stuff in the backing

[championofidiots]

great!

[SDC910]

They're no doubt my all time favorite band! But I have to agree... They look ridiculous and their stage presence is just awful...

[theatrefallBAND]

why does it matter how they look?

[SDC910]

Because it looks like they're trying too hard and it makes it difficult to take the lead singer seriously.

[theatrefallBAND]

nah

[PolarOpposites12]

i love the faint

but... is the lead singer supposed to be terrifying?

[placebopleasesnedina]

Definitely one of my favorite bands to see live :)

[vanpersie48]

they look fking stupid

[duskateteam2]

i love that theyre from my hometown! theyre amazing live

[eeirertomb]

lol there awesome drunk X0

[eviltokage]

i just saw them with ladytron last night. it was the greatest thing ive ever witnessed.

[underatarget]

Nice! I'm about to see them tonight, and I'm STOKED!

[gcaddyy33]

these guys trip you out live i was fucked up tho

[acfarrell79]

this band is awesome live! I've seen them twice, and they put on a great show both times. You have to see them. Just saw the with ladytron on 4/20, they stole the show!!

[Fleeetz]

i can understand if somebody says, that its not their kind of music. its pretty sprecial. i dont think that they will become a mainstream band.

nevertheless i love them, they dance absolutely awesome. i want to go a concert of them.

[faygohomie69]

bunch of nerds. I can hardly consider this computerized shit music. I mean they are playing instruments and stuff but it's all the same thing over and over. The same chords over and over. I used to listen to music like this but realized that it is relatively easy to accomplish a sound like this. Not complex enough for me. And this singer sucks. Daft Punk is better

[dearnanip]

music does not need to be complex for it to be beautiful or considered good. all that matters is if the band likes their music and if their fans like it. but, not everyone has to be their fan so keep that in mind. that comment just made me a little upset is all.

[eviltokage]

yeah, i agree dearnanip. like, i like the faint, and i dont care how simple they are. but then there is some complex music that i really dislike. its all about personal preference really.

[dearnanip]

that would be exactly my point ! :} some music can be the most complex but to my hears sound like terrible shit.

[cobainhumbucker]

fay, daft punk is far more computerized and repetitive

[wiltingrainbow]

they're playing in richmond on thursday & Im dying to go! So begins my hunt for a concert companion...

[ThewOrldIssqUare]

just saw this live last night in toronto! what a jam!

[underatarget]

They look like so much fun. I realllly hope I can see them in Seattle on May 2.

[metamaru]

I can't believe I had to miss their concert yesterday! It sucks not having a car.

[chuckred21]

I'm wondering if I should go to one of their concerts?I'll have a chance to see them in may. I don't listen to them very much, but my friend insists that i go.

[badwolf2126]

Yes, you must go. You will not be disappointed. They put on a very entertaining and energetic show. It's the most fun, you will have a blast. I've been to 4 of their shows and try to go every chance I get.

[badwolf2126]

That response was for chuckred21 : )

[lulamoonx]

yeahhhhhhhh

[zeedentist]

PARANOIA!!

its like watching beautiful mad fuckin scientists ,..

[Tululah]

I quite like how they are running amok on stage, on the contrary. At least they're not being boring by standing in one place! haha.

2:27 where he makes a motion like he's hanging from a hook amuses me greatly.

I have to see them live so bad! It's so tantalizing. D:

[tinybikerider44]

I'm seeing them in three days! March 31! XD

[Quemin]

Gah! We are going to the same show at Sokol then! Woot! I love this song.

[indiebird12]

it just really blows my brains out, how they went from their album media wich was guitar driven, all the way to wet from birth and its sounds like seriously electro, and their recording techniques. Definetly innovators.

[bahramradan]

the sounds are fuckin AWESOME!!!!!!

but lets face it, the singer CAN NOT sing.

[kakusei01]

yep i agree totaly with you

[PaniqAnalogiq]

They sound so good, they look so retarded. Am I supposed to go to their gigs blindfolded?

[dtmdtm]

no, cause you will miss the best concert/dance part ever....

[madmax123444]

I'm gonna see 'em in Seattle on the 11th! I can't wait. I'm looking forward to Natalie Portman's Shaved Head too.

[billisfly]

was it badass?

[PowerAnimalx]

Gotta love the omaha boys!

PARANOIA!!!

[jonathanheaney747]

these guys sound good- around long? ill check them out this wkend at electric picnic,ireland

[theatrefallBAND]

[MRZUUZ]

greate!!!!

[captainnodrugs]

jimmy kimmel rocks the faint rocks wats a better combo?

[origami0203]

Love this song, and their dancing makes me happy.

[bettyNH123]

KICK ASS

[rdbabes]

lovin the wacky dancing from the keyboard player 1:30-1:35

[Groundbase]

ownage live performance. i wish they would come to europe :(

[hilluhbee]

actually

he's married

and not gay

[Ghaffaz]

Drummer reminds me Dave Holland from Judas Priest.

[OliverFD]

the singer is too gay

but the song is amazing

[triedtosavemyself]

Aww, their singer is such a cutie.

Dance, little techno boy, dance! :D

[svenict]

umm then where the fuck does half the sound come from...tell me you dont think a drummer and bassist are making all that sound do you??

[MusicISgood925]

you see that paino thing .. its called a synth

[nickconfidental]

and do you know what sound you can produce with a synth? AMAZING ONES.

you are such an ignorant fuck.

[frodotheringbearer]

love how they look so into it with the killer dancing.

[thepatterofrain]

Terrible show, decent music. I swear the guitarist and the keyboardist didn't do anything other than look stupid. maybe play a cord of two.

[Nuggerz]

what is up with keyboarist talking big and acting big like they can do the most craziest stuff for the band. My keyboardist does the same and talks down about the rest of the band in a " I can do it better" way...hes not gana last to long...

[ouchbalaboui]

Paranoia!!!

[pancake41]

PARANOIA

[krookedKiller13]

I hate how they dance so much, but I love the music.

[darkknight10]

maybe you should hang out with a few more old people??

[krookedKiller13]

I love old people.

[Yunit253]

I DISAPEAR COME ON I DISAPEAR

[dw2345]

These guys are amazing live!!...The Faint is simply an amazing band...do not miss a chance to see them live!

[JordiHagens]

and oasis too

[JordiHagens]

prodigy is 10000 times bettah

[fantasyd3]

they are the fucking best band in the world

[sammieoh]

It is amazing to see them live. There's nothing like it.

annnnd. the faint was on abc?

[BlindinfuZion]

I agree with monicaiscrazy...to see them perform this song live is...amazing. There.s nothing like the adrenaline rush when everyone in the entire venue is screaming "paranoia" at the tops of their lung...then...bam...dance.

The end lol

[Mattenschwinger]

looks gheeey how they dance. but i kinda like the music ....

[GenericMan]

Their best live song other than In Concert.

[buzzardbeatniks]

I like the singers hair, it's hilarious.

I hate the drummers beard. I just hate beards in general.

Musics good though.

[monicaiscrazy]

I've seen the faint live twice; and this video doesnt do any justice for them. the faint is awesome live. and the best concert i've ever been to.

[fearindrive]

agreed

[julesalbertfab]

im gonna see them in about 2 hours. here in Vegas

[LmightyQ]

I love the way todd dances <3333

[darbycrash661]

venus diode was better

[roush351TT]

the Faint has one of the best live shows i've ever seen, they kicked ass last night in Tulsa

[sobeisforlovers]

ahh man they were so goodin tulsa, i couldn't stop dancing

a must see band live

[llelo55]

they are so good live, just saw them last night in toronto!

[cwessel76]

wchutlknbout, you have to see them live to understand. They are without a doubt the best live act I've ever seen.

[larrylalonde]

if you saw them live, you'd understand. i saw them in germany with bright eyes almost 3 years ago....going 2 see them again in a month....

[wchutlknbout]

they all look like they belong in different bands, especially the drummer. Good song too but don't you think you guys are going a little overboard on how great it is

[morelikewar]

They are one of the absolute best live bands I've ever seen. Seriously.

[1000days]

i wonder what he's popping

[gracelessgraceless]

Wow. I've never seen them live, but it looks like they go off.

[bedtimefortoys]

great shit!

[InfraRendell]

Awesome video!

[phiphenom]

Truly one of the most amazing live shows ever put together. Actually one of my big inspirations for doing what I do: http://youtube.com/watch?v=okA­ZhNAmEJs
