[sofistitedcdd]

She's so channeling Siouxie = P

[DeVinTHPS]

Thanks APB

[andreaxDful]

OMFG! Brian Chase...♥

[hadesrudolf]

oh my god

[lopezstephany1]

she sounds the same on the album!!!!!

[instructorjava]

ey quiero ese baterista!!

[RooAcademy]

Her cheek bones *-*

[RooAcademy]

:o

[itsanthonytime]

great performance. brian chase is ranked 50 as the best drummers of all time

[ohaiitsmatt]

at 3:48 Karen is like "Fuck, this guy again..."

[kuddkrigable]

yeah yeah KAREN

[DVDundMUSIK4eva]

Fifa ...

[ethanjen1]

I love this performance!



[tpaladino]

It's so funny how Dave is completely in love with her. Every time she's on he cant contain himself.

[Lightofday999]

Her voice makes my boxer briefs melt...

[skeleman1963]

granted the drummer has some electronic effects dialed into his kit, he's an awesome drummer!!!

[sonic777111]

How does Nick keep track of all those pedals? Seriously, he's using about 50.

[XxnovacainexaddictxX]

you can tell dave really wants to hold her hand. Never again....lol

[VanillaKilla8]

this reminds me of blondie

[wendovescry1]

Karen O i love U marry me please!!!

[tpaladino]

Seriously they're one of the best live bands out there.

Also, they have a synth player now too?

[Sekiath]

@tpaladino They usually have someone extra just to help them out with their live performances on the keys or guitar.

[deadleg6]

song makes me happy don't know why

[apunk015]

Karen O is a fucking sex goddess :O

[chrisallenrichie]

This is just a great song! Karen O is gorgeous. 

[Matiotto1]

Karen Ylove U!!!

[Keldorn87]

Wow. I think I am in love with the Yeah yeah yeahs...

[TheREALnorp]

@smithhedgehog That's so true. :)

[beka7172]

karen married me!!!

[tablefort]

wow. sounds just like the record. i'm impressed.

[bigalbantam]

@bluurBANG But now who do i fuck and kill? So many un answered questions.

[descallyjr]

Not sure which turns me on more, watching Karen or Brian's impeccably perfect drumming...and traditional grip!

[r1chochet]

her real hair is sticking out in the back lol,shes still sexy though,watching this on letterman made me discover this band

[Kirascry]

I love the fact there's only three of them. Besides if there was a bass player it would be the yeah yeah yeah yeahs...Which in truth doesn't sound right...also it's a GREAT band already.

[andygrohl08]

I love this band but It would really become a GREAT banda if they have a bass player

[skjorestad94]

Really cool drumming. AND offcourse really nice song :D

[Enyoface1]

3:45

"That was good.

I like that.

Nice going.

Boy that's just about right.

That, that was great"

It's like he's giving a compliment to each band member individually

[ptaaffe]

@Enyoface1 ...I like the way Dave did a quick round of the instrumentalists and finished up by Karen O. He is clearly a fan. The instrumentalists in this band will always be overshadowed by the charismatic vocalist

[mysteryskater48]

@ptaaffe Bullshit, Nick is an amazing guitarist, and Brian is ranked number 50 in Rolling Stone's top 100 drummers.

[MegaLlamas1]

When Dave was holding It's Blitz, I thought someone was grabbing at him.

[grudebusch]

no backing track. <3

[bryanecstasy691]

my cusin showed me this song, its so addicting<3 i absolutley loved it (:

[verveshawn]

the Schnoz on the drummer......

[smithhedgehog]

@verveshawn jewish ;-)

[chrisnuma6]

Absolutely fantastic. Great energy, great vocal. What an amazing band.

[OMAGAHITSBRENDON]

Wow, got goosebumps. Didnt think she would be able to hit those notes live. Git it Karen!

[dchalf10]

I'd love to see a new YYY live DVD since they grew up. Not that they were young before but they have evolved a lot and it would be nice to see karen O sober and singing the new tunes.

[bluurBANG]

marry me♥

[falc0n29]

@castillo555 maybe the recent Gwen Stefani songs, but No Doubt Gwen Stefani was way better.

[ignaciousromanov]

I love that Karen O can actually sing her songs without a vocoder.

[Mwurld]

Has Jack White had something to do with this? 333 likes...

[5054141799]

Brian Chase has Synethesia, how epic is that?

[sookster54]

They really are this good live... when Karen isn't crazy.

[aznbacon321]

they look like they're enjoying the hell out of this music. this is awesome!

[dominosoul]

Sound just as good if not better than they do on the record.

[shorsparana]

drums....GOOOOOOOD

[wbyokomo]

Too many pedals, no bassist, very unique band. \|..|

[sleezymany]

she's so sexy!!

[reno7o7]

I love watching Brian drum here. He's loving it! He's got this look on his face like "Don't worry. I got this."

[HPfan71]

I heard about this band about 5 years ago and just NOW I find out they are PERFECT live and their music is just..wow. i am in love yes.

[owenissalty]

Didn't think it was possible for so much talent to consist in one band.

[Sheaves1993]

drummer reminds me of bob saget

[mickjoG]

Brian Chase is a pretty cool drummer, I saw him play in my local pub, with this guy Seth Merstika or somthig) they played to about 4 people in the bar. but Chase was still pretty cool on drums.

[castillo555]

Karen O makes Gwen Stefani look like Hannah Montana.

[AvaLaveer]

@castillo555 hahha awesome!

[Intedra0]

@castillo555 LOL FUCKING TRUE !

[111olbap]

@castillo555 So does a bottle of thousand island dressing.

[330R]

@castillo555 I love both karen and gwen

[skatafario]

@castillo555 Gwen stefani is Hannah montana 2 ¡¡¡



[budkin]

@castillo555 I went to film school with Karen and she was nothing like her "Karen O" persona. She was super sweet and actually kind of shy believe it or not. Awesome girl though, it's great that she's become such a star.

[smithhedgehog]

@budkin its always us quiet ones :-) ...

[lblitzer]

@castillo555 Maybe nowadays yeah, but Stefani used to rock out pretty hard in the early No Doubt days and if you haven't listened to Tragic Kingdom definitely give it a try! She sold out early in her career which is unfortunate because she puts out a ton of garbage but Karen O is just another sweet spot in music.

[Jamesscalise]

@castillo555 How are Gwen Stefani and Karen O even remotely similar outside of the fact that they're female musicians?

[audible67]

@Jamesscalise oh dear...I think you've missed the point.

[marijanaiv]

wonderful performance : )

[siss223]

the drummer sucks

[SmoqueedBinx]

and its live bishes.

<3

[Mario1000000]

Live version sounds better than album version

[GiganticAsses]

Holy fuck.

[androbry]

Nick Zinner ur a God

[The1979s]

hahaha, at the the end, he had no idea what the fuck to say.

[dfstarborn]

she is so fine i'd love to bite her ass so sexy

[CheTheRebel86]

open hand 16ths on the hi hat.... gnarly

[zumalianow]

Shoegazing..

[platypae333]

If only he was so positive about all bands..... I can understand why he's positive about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I can't understand why he's not positive about others.

[knuttsaq]

She is so amazing! 

[psyph3r]

So hot...love this band, the sound, Karen....

[nia1234567]

YYY

EEE

AAA

HHH S

[Dorkmonkey7]

She finally decoded to sing normal! They're very good live when they try.

[Burrie1L]

Fckng great performance. Karen looks so much more mellow these days.

[96poyman3]

Wow, I have listened to them for a while but never seen them live and good god. They are perfect live

[westtxant3423]

Great band!!! Karen is sooooo hot!!!!!!

[hildegarnzxz]

the guitarist is so awesome.

[jw1293]

"That was good. I like that. Nice going. That's just about right. That was great. How are ya." - is dave letterman a robot at the end?

[Phangmaster]

Must admit, their last album did nothing for me, strange cus I loved everything up to it.

[Harajuku18]

He has synaesthesia people *-*

[pioneer96]

Karen o is so sexy from 3-315 I'm in love with her

[born2win4love]

Karen O. is just amazing !

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

Nice performance.

Karen O could be folding laundry and it would still be hot.

[JenniferGarner007]

i love thes video.



[0RckNRoll0]

this is like the happiest band crew ive ever seen!! SICK!

[justinsambets]

[TheEveytv]

as for the drummer its called enjoying what you do

[01Soph]

[hurleypwell]

[soveryspecial]

[dotstick123]

ugh jizzz

[10max30]

she sing like in the record, fucking amazing!!!!!!!

[4578a]

I like that.

[ghost20063]

@mcdstuff no its all about the cowbell

[crazyoldallison]

The guy is a really great drummer! I love the whole band. I find it confusing when people bad mouth a band they probably could not do better then......

[codfish6677]

Why are we supposed to watch the drummer? The drumming is quite generic and boring....In fact the whole song is boring....

[sivaband]

@codfish6677 yeah i guess you like drum machines and lady gaga, wanker

[codfish6677]

@sivaband Err..no. I'm a drummer.

[sivaband]

@codfish6677 well, if your so much more entertaining than this drummer, why aren't you on letterman?

[Joeblow591988]

@codfish6677 You realize he's considered to be one of the greatest drummers ever? I'm talking top 50.

But no, I'm sure your a fantastic drummer...

[ybrik222]

@codfish6677

Your mom was boring. Yeah, I know, I'm so clever... Just like you.

[DitaVonMarilyn]

Imagine how long it takes to do Davids hair 0_o lmao

[ZombieDeathProof]

Damn, If I ever saw the yeah yeah yeahs live I would probably run up on the stage and kiss karen o right on the mouth! haha I am in love!

[ZombehLuvin]

I like how she really gets into her music and has a smile on her face the entire time. It's pleasant. :D

[rosesinsnow814]

I'm so in love with her XD

[Larukuislove]

sounds weird, like an instrument is missing or something, I don't know what >.<

[rosesinsnow814]

@Larukuislove They dont have a bass player. Maybe thats it? haha

[Larukuislove]

@rosesinsnow814 =O I just noticed it XD

[orangeoctober33]

I want to fuck her. I like the she moves..

[FluffHead8844]

guitarist looks exactly like jim reid from the jesus and mary chain

[dneklason]

*gasp* a band that's actually as good live as they are on their recording?? i didn't think those existed! she's pretty great

[DraqMaster]

@dneklason I thought the exact same thing =)

[SackOfGoo]

@dneklason That's because it IS the record! They're mining!

[chilpa]

@SackOfGoo nope, they are not... listen to the record...

[TheSamisauce]

@SackOfGoo no she's not. 

[Tenori3]

They're so so good.... I'm crying because of their goodness!! It's not normal !! How the hell can they be so good?!!

[mrsmileyface]

yaaaay one of my favorite songs by themm <3

[mmesce2]

Drummer is good at cymbals. Fills are quite weak. I like this band though

[Duckshmm]

@mmesce2 you obviously dont listen to a lot of indie esque music.

[fotcmj]

Oh she's so shy at the end with David Letterman, sweet girl...

[cwonam]

they are amazing live

[kiikat]

they are too cool

love her!

[ItachiUchiha50999]

and the guitar guy iz kewl...dude alwayz looks like sum guy from a movie O_O

[mystoo76]

@ItachiUchiha50999

I think he look like one of the Gorillaz:) It's that hair!

[Lightning972]

sexy

[swansong200]

her hair here reminds of iggy's blonde bowl cut.

[ilike3or4]

Damn, it's way better than the album version, I think in studio versions on last albums drummer wasn't given enough freedom, and he is cool.

[myballzitch92]

i fucking LOVE her hair!!!!!!!!!

[idiotsrus92]

omfg Karen O is the sexiest lead singer EVER

[scothtravis]

Please metan un bajista, para que toque en vivo con ustesdes se escucha, que falta algo y es el bajo.

DC producer

[mama0of0flatulence]

seriously...she sounds perfect here. wow.

[soursunglasses]

she's not singing '' crying, crying, crying, oh oh''

-_-

[fapgtrplyr]

why i have to watch the drummer?

[typeinbolivianbug]

letterman came behind his desk

[brentmon]

i love how this was recorded from an australian tv channel...

[MillaHead]

Letterman loves the YYY's!

[tigerjonn]

is that bob saget on the drums?

[marrymekate]

wait, no 15 second handshake? bummer

[majick59]

HAHAHA!! The old man creep factor gets turned up when Karen O is on Letterman. The Down Boy handshake was super awkward.

[ItachiUchiha50999]

she 4got the "whats ur name" part in the song...o well i guess they skipped it...awesum performence

[Takerkid14]

yeah they might have done it to save time.

[Max8Jizzy]

O OO Karen O OOOO

[paranoidandroid1997]

i love that woman.

[chatannn]

@Marcifare ,

I saw them live, they were amazing. so much energy from the band. they don't have much space to work around with at the letterman show than they do on concert stage.

YYY for life <3

[mrwilliwizard]

@chatannn hell yea i saw them live in L.A they were amazing

[pansat512]

DUDE!!!!! i love YYYs. they r So Great live. i love the energy and how they mix things up. WooooHooo!!!!!

[Marcifare]

I love this song, but I'd never imagine that they sucked this much live. There is none of the energy and vibration present, that's there on the album.

[wdamian]

@Marcifare +1 agree in full

[XR4turbo]

wait. what?

[ThePetepiper]

Its all about the drummer. This guy is really good.

[wdamian]

@ThePetepiper Then why has he been replaced by drum machines on their last release?

[ThePetepiper]

I don't give a shit if he's been replaced by drum machines, I simply think that his drumming on this song is really good. Drum machines or not, he's still the one with more musical talent in that band(in my opinion).

[deaconkris]

They have been using a drum machine on pretty much every release it adds a different dimension to the percussion but the main drumming has always been done by Brian. He's just that awesome. He drums on every single track on It's Blitz

[wdamian]

@deaconkris bullshit

[skeleman1963]

@ThePetepiper - yes he is !

[axelusul]

Totally blown away, there is a god!, I`m bit behind the times, but this is a great sound and live act and a front lady talent.

Fuckin Ace, been a while since a sound has had me buzzin....

[platypae333]

@axelusul There's no god. It's the Flying Spaghetti Monster (look it up.)

[axelusul]

@platypae333 Cheers, I wondered what that levitating pig pasta was,

what ever floats yer boat. Its all FUBAR to me, cool music taste respect due.

[platypae333]

@axelusul It's not a serious religion. It's a protest because creationism was being taught in schools.

[axelusul]

@platypae333 DAMN!, I kinda liked that PASTA DUDE, looked a bit like Darwin,

Coincidence,MMM!!!????. (TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU FWIW)

[wdamian]

This is pure LOL. Why even bother with a drummer or a guitarist? Just plug in the ProTools and let Karen do her Joey Ramone shimmy thing.
