[Chrazzari]

Saw them when I went to see Dropkick Murphys, always wanted to play this song and they did it was great! :D

[HeatherandDakotah]

Best song.

[kathhh8]

[MatthewHowardWight]

[twistedskitty]

GENTLEMEN - YOU WERE THE BEST BAND AT WARP TOUR YESTERDAY IN SCRANTON - HANDS DOWN WITHOUT A DOUBT - GOD HIMSELF SAW THIS AND BENJ THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT - THANK YOU THANK YOU - MY 15 YEAR OLD SON CONCURS 110% - (from the lady in the very pink hat and you guys are in my prayers) You belong CENTER stage. Thank you for your humble nature, thank you for not calling your audience "fuckers" = RESPECT, this princess happens to remember.

[Run4thaSun]

@twistedskitty

TOTALY AGREED!!!! I saw them yesterday in St. Louis and they were/are the best band on warped tour this year IMO. They were taking requests from the crowd. Too cool without being cool. If that makes sense.

[ihatenatwolf]

it's funny how he makes the same mistake as me when i play lucero on guitar, i mix up "kiss the bottle" and "all the same to me"

[cflow100]

Haha. Ben started to play 'All the Same to Me'

[cflow100]

Haha. Ben started to play 'All the Same to Me'

[goatsbutter]

Can't stand his voice, but this is spectacular.

[l2euforiagm]

The best cover I`ve heard so far, brill !

[nofx0516]

Not as good as the original Jawbreaker version but not bad at all, didn't think I would like it. Still like the Brendan Kelly version better though.

[SuperMilocat]

These guys are getting better known all the time. Only just discovered them here on the west coast 1 month ago, already have all their music and listen every single day. Best i've heard in god knows how many years.

[justinruns]

@SuperMilocat you really need to rock some Drive By Truckers then also. Hopefully these two will tour together again soon.

[donwilloughby86]

so good!

[JhJmMusic]

only 100000 views? really? and that justin beiber shit has liek 200 million or whatever. it should definitly be the other way around. lucero should be so much bigger!

[Luda1010]

These guys are amazing. Under appreciated and unknown.

Only known and appreciated by a select few.

[scottymacIII]

@Luda1010 That's what makes them special, Check out Jaw Breaker doin' it live at CBGB's, Saw them at Barley's Tap Room in Knoxville, my hometown, there's an awesome video of "Nights Like These" on youtube from that show, you've probably already watched it. .....peace

[destroyer841]

Why isn't country music dominated by bands that sound like this? Instead its just Taylor Swift and other "pop with a twang" musicians.

[PeteWojMusic]

i was at this in store performance.. Park Ave Cd's... best indie music shop ever!!

[asbestosfish]

@PeteWojMusic In Winter Park, FL?

[PeteWojMusic]

@asbestosfish of course : )

[asbestosfish]

@PeteWojMusic Damn, How did I miss that?

[MrJamescroc]

@tingle007-- No.

[JamesMcPatrick]

Good Stuff

[kaylamichelle0509]

loveee Lucero! when i need an escape i just pop their cd in. ben's voice and raw emotion and lyrics just blow me away. i wanna go see them when i turn 21 so i can throw back my first legal shot to these guys rockin' LIVE! woo hoo! this music is good to listen to sober, drunk, happy, sad, anytime, anywhere. i can honestly say i think they are the best band i've ever heard.

[Dropkickpunk76]

This is an outstanding cover! They make the song their own.

[bhaguewood]

The Best. Great Band, even greater live.

[70mjc]

Amazing. Ben is one of America's forefront songwriters. Granted this may not be his but that still doesn't deter from the truth. Long live you man, the world needs more of artists such as yourself.

[modestlucero]

I am so in love with this cover. I know, the original will always hold a specia place... but seriously, "Hell, we're hungry." I love it!~

[ericjohnson1129]

this is gay as fuck. he shouldnt be covering this..

[hoooooods775]

amen brother

[dipet227]

way better then jaw breaker in my opinion, this one live isnt great but the recorded track for the album is really good.

[SuicidalSushio0]

best cover of a jawbreaker song ever, but it still doesnt have the raw emotion of the original.

[cliquehop]

oh shit....wow that's just great great. I'm gonna go outside, start the tractor, and mow the back field listening to this. I saved my Schmitt Stix Lucero deck for this.....

[sweepa88]

This is cool, but nothing will beat Blake wailing at the end of the verses.

[cdrivechaos]

You wake up to an empty night. Crying out tears for two.

[ExUSSailor]

The original version is a sad song, but, this version makes me cry.

[HeyJaw]

Yeah, the accordion itself doesn't ruin the song it's just its position to the camera and where most of the sound is coming from.

[303oldskool]

What a FUCKING BAND!! Seriously SERIOUSLY if you dont like lucero than FUCK THE FUCK OFF!!

[MsDMay]

agreed :)

[fibreoptik]

@303oldskool

You need to relax buddy.

[bassangler1521]

the accordion is what makes it. its just so close to the camera that it is dominating the guitar. the accordion is a classic lucero sound. but thats just my opinion.

[BumblingOaf]

accordian ruins it

[donwilloughby86]

so good!

[amaddb04]

i love jawbreaker. good cover though.

[bluefuzz18]

theres too much of the accordian.

[MsDMay]

what the accordian is like their signature little sound they add to some of their songs gives it that old sailor feel i love it

[Michaelridesabike]

Ben is a new hero of mine.

[TomoyoYukata]

This just made my year, seriously.

I love it.

[Guitarsessions]

Lucero owns Jawbreaker

[bestviewmusic]

I hope you were completely wasted when you wrote this. I've seen Lucero several times, and they rock! But don't compare this version to Jawbreaker's. Why do you think he wanted to sing Blake's song in the first place?

[MsDMay]

@bestviewmusic

your out your mind...

[Fungul]

Can't top Jawbreaker.

[MsDMay]

@Fungul

bahaha riiiight...

[banditman479]

Lucero is one of the best bands I've heard in a long time. They need recognition for the work they've done

[Alexei1110]

Lucero-forever!

[sukiyaki113]

Fanfuckingtastic

[FurtherIllusions]

can't stop playing this song and I like hxc.

[irishbulldog55]

That;s how Ben does it, gets into you and makes a mess that you'll never clean up.

[HVsheehy]

I don't even know what to say.

Bad ass.

[motafuckin]

i love that song

[motafuckin]

BMX idol

[ThatDopeShit]

how were we born into this mess?

[AstralSight]

Bluegrass-y rock for the fucking win.

[clutch1245]

ben nichols is the fuckin man.  Look up the shit by him and the drive by truckers.

[FNBBMX]

came to toronto played for like 3 hours fuckin best night ever

[jthomure82]

this is a great band and a good song, im now listin to this band because of a good friend..thanks

[kingink04]

*uck ya Ben! We got shity in SF at the bottom of the hill...! much love Lucero

[spliffbunker]

stupid accordion ruined it for me

[thirty6chambers]

the accordion MAKES the song.

[toolist14]

i love Lucero, they are great, Ben has a great voice.

[jcthoma2]

this is the best cover of a jawbreaker song I've ever heard.

[boltdecrypter]

@jcthoma2 agreed

[tingle007]

@jcthoma2

listen to the sparta cover of this song it's even better.

[trippriley]

@tingle007

I found the Sparta cover to completely strip the song of its emotion. I hated it. : /

[danthegroin]

Grand.

[GrishaX]

great cover.

[apatheticgeneration]

I miss park avenue cd's. I miss orlando. Lucero never plays in Jacksonville!

[willyrobinson]

come on down to Tally, or Orlando, or St. Pete. (those are pretty common - its not a bad little road trip for ya)

[petrov32]

you think you've got it bad? I live in Nova Scotia (Canada)! Im not holding my breath for them to come here soon.

[tdebs]

i was there. had a brief conversation with Ben about whiskey and comic books.... later at the concert.... more whiskey and talk about comic books

[crazymaddopeyo]

haha does he like comic books? That would be awesome.

[ReonTheEmeraldFire]

he use to do draw for local papers or something and he did the red 40 cover. he said he use to read al ot of Love and rockets

[juliekarate]

what do you mean he did the red 40 cover?

[loserguy1022]

that he illustrated the cover of theyre cd. he was also a band member

[willyrobinson]

he could write sad songs about super heroes.

[torrancend88]

And that he has (Schwarzenbach's Basilica)
