NME Video: Cage The Elephant & Blood Red Shoes

[byronthurman]

The sip of beer may not imply he's drunk.. but his slurred speech does. XD

[n2extreem]

it pisses me off when people say matt's voice isnt as good live as in person. the only reason his voice doesnt sound good live is because he goes crazy on stage. haha this video proves he has a pretty damn good voice.

[Vollkornbrooot]

love this song!

[eveningsun8]

They look sober compared to their live shows. Aha Not saying their drunk now or at their shows. :P

[HarlequinGirl02]

love these lads live <3 seen 'em twice

[lovemusicmzipse]

weres laura



[13moira]

Everyone probably thinks their drunk because the majority of bands spend the whole of the festival drunk!! But yeah their not necessarily drunk.

[1S0AD1]

just beacause they're drinking doesn't mean they're drunk!

[ClipsItookInGame]

Why does everyone think they're drunk? And why does that make such a big difference? Love this version though. real cool.

[MrJeepersjoe]

drunk man thats asome and they are all drinking beer dude its aresome and they play a hole a lot better

[strokes8771]

i love how they drink in the video and not give a shit

[whattokyo]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[jtaylor1431]

[MrJordanowen]

[NobodyCallsMeSticksT]

@MrJordanowen I know it does (N)

[donkieman1]

[pandora3891]

[kellytich]

I like this more upbeat version of the song, but where's Tich??

[aar855]

@kellytich im thinking the same thing hes like my favorite :)

[junofalls1993]

ths was made way before i heard of either band. by playing borderland and seeing scott pilgrim

[WizoIstGott]

Blood red shoes are amazing, especially live :)

[nicholsjoshua15]

Wow, Cage The Elephant sings and plays better drunk than most bands do sober. 

[kornholioa]

@nicholsjoshua15 most southern bands have that ability

[TheBANDSIZATION]

@nicholsjoshua15 hahah i agree with you nichols :)

[marioplayer636]

@nicholsjoshua15 lmao i was about to say the same thing when i saw this video xD

[MrPootoop]

How many poor little baby spines did Eric Burdon have to suck dry to become that young again?

[dude19288]

@MrPootoop ?

[abstractxXxsmile]

doesn't matter where or how they play. live, CD, drunk, acoustic, they always sound amazing. period.

[linkinladie328]

[danny6231]

how old is he. he looks like 15.haha anyone know?

[tovia1992]

the first band, that performs the best, when their drunken...

[jfishcake]

a lot of misspelled words on these comments. reflects poorly on the band also when you go on about how good it is to watch a drunk band play. also does anyone see a connection to Jack White here??

[311skalove]

@jfishcake  How?

[rainshaker]

@jfishcake there is quite a bit of connection to Jack White... Stones of the queen age anyone?

[jfishcake]

a lot of misspelled words on these comments. reflects poorly on the band also when you go on about how good it is to watch a drunk band play.

[likenoother113]

atleast 100 out of 60,761 views are proudly mine

[63eag]

wow their good acustic also

[ShackRecords01]

I love there style! its almost rapping in songs like this, then they do real sad ones

[TheWiihightnenjea]

ha i gota ass you lol

[kushskateboards]

i love to drink and there a big influnce on the socitey i live in with me and my frends. this band rocks balls

[Adroidable]

To any doubters about their live show....forget it.

I've seen them twice now at the blank club in san jose ca, and both time they blew the roof of the joint.

if you get a chance, see them...that's all there is to it.

[Rhysification1]

I love this band and think they're great but because he takes a sip of beer at the start of the video doesn't mean he's drunk.

[xDocterxDerpx]

@Rhysification1 i think they're referring to the people in the back. They take a drink about every 20 seconds.

[rocknroll501]

@Rhysification1 no but im pretty sure they get kinda drunk before their shows haha gotta love em(:

[polskiOgorka]

This is entrancing, haha. this validates any comment I've heard about them playing well live.

[mswkimber]

Just saw them in Vegas last weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel. One of the best bands that I have ever seen live, and yes, Matthew Shultz was lit up like a fireworks display, but it just didn't matter.

[jrgrube]

This was the first thing that I ever saw of Cage the Elephant back in '08. It created a super-fan of myself!

[bisboirassanah420]

this is a truly awesome song...and to see them live would be great...I love this acoustic version....It is added my favorites!!!!!!

[Jermacide1]

They're. Even on the internet spelling words correctly makes a better impression than spelling r stuff dumbs. :P

Spelling nazi signing out.

[natedog1688]

im sein them in concert on june 12!!!!

[maxistheb3st]

i like how he sounds exactly like the video

[obamacka2008]

its sounds like the studioversion ... they are the best !

[frozenwindshield]

Did that tune with a guitar dude on our main drag once and he said it was his best paying tune ever. I was just ducking the rain, man Americans are totally generous! was the start of a great night out lol

[UnOblivous]

Matt's like.... superman !! XD

How can someone be soooo drunk, and yet still sing like... an angel? :P

Matt FTWW!

[5stars4me]
