Gorillaz - Kids With Guns (Live on Letterman)

[beeplaa]

i remember being like 12 years old and getting the Gorillaz selftitled

I showed it to my brothers friend who was probly 16 at the time

he said, "man that band isn't gonna last"

its now 11 years later

[davejc86]

there are better live performances here on youtube this one is so/so

[purpledrohaze777]

Good song being performed horribly when it comes to vocals...ugh ok

[Fantasiagg]

umm wow no wonder he made the gorillaz ps... he sings HORRABLY /:

[extremerules6789]

thats the real gorillaz ??

[XomproductionsX]

and then music died......

[JackOfKills101]

Thumbs up if you've been around since Blur.

[chickenwarriors1]

thumbs up if you've been around since demon days? bitch thumb up if you've been around since 19-2000

[daftzombie23]

le falto la parte ruda, pero esta genial. lloraría de alegría si estuviese así de cerca de Damon Albarn

[nastyplot555]

Awesome song. Awsome lyrics

[rongdisk23]

my second favorite song by them, first is: Every Planet We Reach Is Dead.. that outro...aahh.

[Vimtox]

Im watching back to the future 2

[mollyty]

anyway,this needs more views

[DonDon255]

god i cant believe its been 10 years since they started.

[hibityhabity]

Crowd is boring, but anyways they always do this song even better live. gotta be my 4th favorite band

[ShakeAlong]

Blur sucks.... Gorillaz... amazing.

[roflwhatatube]

@ShakeAlong im sorry but your silly

[mollyty]

@ShakeAlong both rocks in a diferent way

[ShakeAlong]

@mollyty naw

[adromb2]

@ShakeAlong Gorillaz project started right from the lead singer of Blur, Damon Albarn, is the voice of 2-D.

Informed.

[ShakeAlong]

@adromb2 I know that.. -.-

But I'm still saying: Blur sucked, but for some reason Gorillaz is great.

[Shaftlenaze]

Damon Albarn is very incredible.

[infraball]

this is what a real band looks like, people.

[ThaRitzZ]

i cant watch dirty harry cuz i dont live in a certain country wtf...

[mollyty]

if you dont like this fuck you

[nickie083100]

wow, cant belive a band with awesome music like this use violins. its kool.

[DeathWatch13]

Turning us into Fire!!

[jerkyace25]

at 3:11 is that damon ? with a synthesezier with a frequency changer or watever ?

or is that girl voice a prerecord

[mace2142]

@jerkyace25 Its a vocoder, you play the notes on the synth, and sing the same ones, and it makes it all funky.

[TeamGreenBurrito]

@jerkyace25 Damon was making that synthesized sound, while the female's voice a prerecorded performance of Neneh Cherry, whom had contributed to the studio version.

[talkingwall]

what a coup getting Mick Jones and Paul Simonin back together on the same stage.

[0MattAttack]

Great song Great Music, But I think They QUitarist was playing this a little fast.... kinda sounded really off temp in the beggining.

[mollyty]

20 people definitely dont know about music

[gwalchafed]

VEVO employers, GET A LIFE!

[ryhorn100]

Who invited Duffy into the song at the end, LOL!

[gogators432]

they fucked up that gigantic ending with that retarded singing over top of it.  killed my favorite part of the song

[Gorillaz12d]

@gogators432 hope u know the singing is in the original version too they just mixed in so you cant really hear it but i agree...i like it and all but it seems too loud compared to the music

[omgitzruffles]

Can anyone tell me why vevo wont allow me to watch the dirty harry music video?It use to work in the U.S.

[mickcreagh]

thumbs up if you've been around since Demon days.

[lollygaggin42]

@mickcreagh HOWABOUT SINCE THE SELF TITLED ALBUM: GORILLAZ! bitch.

[jerkyace25]

@mickcreagh damn great album have you seen their ipad album its nice!

[VictoriaSobocki]

@mickcreagh or since Gorillaz.

[AlejandroLR1995]

@mickcreagh I've been around since Gorillaz 1st album

[infraball]

@mickcreagh honestly, who gives a shit?

[halflife213]

@mickcreagh I was around since Gorillaz

[dividad1]

@mickcreagh How about been around since "Gorrilaz"?

[Sq614]

@mickcreagh I was around ever sence they began (Was very young at the time. Has been and Always will be My favorite band).

[aaronscrewme]

@mickcreagh I'm counter-cultural so I didn't think to much of them when I heard of them a few years ago. I've only recently discovered them because somebody recommended them to me.

Do people still think this is some American hip hop group?

[PooPoo2U]

@mickcreagh: Lol, Demon Days wasn't even the first album.

[THEtubinator66]

@PooPoo2U But it was when they first got a lot of reconigition

[PooPoo2U]

@THEtubinator66: No it wasn't, Clint Eastwood was, and that was on the first album.

[FullSailForEpiqFail]

@mickcreagh Gorillaz - Gorillaz was their first album.

Ive been around since then ;D

The one with the car on the album cover.

[friso130]

@mickcreagh

I've been around from the first album 'Gorillaz'.

But Demon Days is great, that's right!

[skeleton316]

sounds more awsome live XDDDD

[wardaltamimi]

2:46 I just go MAD !!

[TheXxyzzyxx]

Wicked song, off of their best album, Demon Days... I think they will have a hard time topping Demon Days, that is unless Damon decides to work with Danger Mouse again.

[SamauraiRippeR]

@TheXxyzzyxx Amen Brother

[mxchump]

They have good music but i dont see them being a band i want to see live

[forrest42]

wtf did they do to the end???

[TheBlindPig1]

I cant remember my father thor.

[htaetypos]

20 people are kids without guns

[thexi44]

Way to ruin a classic song!

[TheChrisherr]

@thexi44 how did they ruin the song?!

[oak1236]

Youtube has been taking down videos since way before Vevo. I'm ecstatic that amazing artists like the Gorillazs are being through Vevo, and I still get to watch free, high quality videos!



[hikarichanxo]

So Gorillaz are my favoritest band in the world ever. But every time I see live videos, they aren't THAT great.. but this song def. sounds the best out of all the Letterman performances..

[MrBeesknees95]

@hikarichanxo everyone looks shit on letterman. i saw them live (in london). one of the best gigs i've ever been to, so much variety in what they played and who was on stage...fucking incredible

[hikarichanxo]

@MrBeesknees95 I wanna see them so bad! When they came to Detroit it was in like a theater rather than a venue and the tickets were like 80 bucks!

[greenslicered]

man this song is so badass.....no one should dislike this =/

[karma756231]

Vevo why don't you like canadians is there something wrong with us?

[northernstarsouthern]

@karma756231 i dont understand vevo, cause i love those canadians i call them snow angels. cause every single one i met so down to earth. so polite so kind. you canadians if there was more like you everywhere this would be a better place. cause there aint much love anywhere else . lots of hugs to you snow angels. listen its been a long time since i met a canadian. i wanna canadian friend so canadians hit me up.

[karma756231]

@northernstarsouthern lawl snow angles XD I don't get vevo either maybe its cause they are english and they don't think canadians and americans are "smart" enough to listen to the music. god this company is dumb

[koutaa55]

Retarded crowd :/

[robloxrules55]

aw that sucks below

that must be freakin annoying like you click a video and a message comes up saying sorry your canadian you cant watch this shit

[Shancus32796]

I don't mind vevo one bit, I only hate them when they won't let me see a video because I'm Canadian... I want to see the Empire Ants visual again! D':

[nus94]

i recently discoverd this song and now im in LOVE!

[mathouze77]

from NEXTHW5

[MrMattFightmaster]

can't blame the crowd for being a tad reserved ... overall this is a very boring show. Loved this album, but live it just sounds a bit weak tbh

[InformerMaz]

20 peole arent a kid with a gun

[ah7149407]

@InformerMaz Honestly, nice try. Just so you know, you're not clever.

[InformerMaz]

@ah7149407 Hahah yeah i knoow i just felt like saying it

[Jont93]

I am a kid with a gun

[mikegrosek07]

Damn I wish I was there...

[immahotpepper]

Damon Albarn can scream Kids With Guns in my face anyday.

[travisturner1]

good to see that Paul Simonon is still punk as fuck

[ProblemsInNumbers]

Oh god...Damon makes it so easy to be an OldMan-ophile.

I know doesn't quite work since he isn't actually that old..but in 8 years he'll be official XD

And everyone who's complaining about the crowd it's a TV audience, they have to stay in line or they get kicked out.

[jbirdbombs]

I never knew they were so darned attractive!!

[Guitarscreech06]

LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING HIPSTERS

[flagmanthefirst]

[JUSTINMILL3R]

Um... he's singing good, honestly ....

[MusclesfromB]

ROFL AT THE CROWD

[MrBarney1978]

If people are of the view that Damon can't sing and have a problem with this song....well I am afraid you are philistines. Go listen to fecking pop idol. This rocks like most stuff doesn't these days.

[Japi0010]

fake female sound =,=

[Rakulol]

@beatlegirl221 They are on Letterman and nobody sounds awesome on Letterman.

[borskyviolin]

If this sounds weird it's because "Kids With Guns" is a pretty weird song, and this is pretty much what it sounds like. I love it though, especially the closing instrumental part. But it's not a real danceable, concert venue kind of song. Maybe they should have left this one off the set list.

[Sweetagemonkey]

My sister wont believe that the singer for Blur is actually the singer for Gorillaz, she's totally in denial, she wont except it and for the longest time she got me to believe her... LIES! xD

[Sweetagemonkey]

@Sweetagemonkey accept**

[Barr1112344565]

i actually like vevo :)

[no977]

why does nobody like vevo?

[atomicboy1]

@no977 cause of the god dam ads at the beg its bullshit te ads are fucking almost as long as the videos

[Snowmanic]

Crap live

[mikalika125]

lol he has my last name as his name xD

[itsjjooee]

always love watching them live.

[RATMfan92]

I think this is the best Gorillaz song! It's mind-blowing! This song has mad soul...

[sfblues21]

I love how intense the guitar players are.......playing three cords every five seconds..........damn intensity love the band though

[Jincharect]

Not that this isn't good, but it doesn't seem they did the regular version justice

I liked the regular because it was . . . calm, i guess. It just seems like they added TOO much energy, if that makes sense.

[Barr1112344565]

people who dont understand live performances being different to cd versions annoy me alot

[fr3d1304]

@Barr1112344565 lol i know huh they think its gonna sound all perfect and when they hear it they like WTF!?!?! is this crap and comment on how its stupid

[JARORICK01]

@Barr1112344565 Totally agree. If you want to hear the CD version, listen to the CD... if you want to hear the CD version with a little different feel and emotion... hear it live.

[FrederickVirus]

Jamie T Turns To Monsters Mix is the best version. I gotta say.

[ezbadfish744]

F5 skips the adds. pass it on.

[ezbadfish744]

F5 skips the vevo adds. pass it on.

[TheJ0shuaTree7]

0:55 gentlemen the ambassador on the big screen.

[leahragdoll]

Does anyone know why they reviled themselfs? the Gorillaz?

[Crandasher]

Paul Simonon. That is all.

[albitaU]

this reminds me of their dvd Damon Days live... :D

[ashklaxon]

worst crowd ever - frankly an embaressment

[JimmyEatBass]

@ashklaxon You don't have to jump around like a fool all the time to show you like the music. Interest and concentration is also respectful, you know.

I know experimental music and art rock where you just can't dance to. Instead the little crowd shows their interest by just sitting and feeling and listening to the art.

[argonman14]

@ashklaxon

If you think that watch Clint Estwood in letterman, this is the same show, the same crowd.

[TooGoodyGoodwin]

@ashklaxon Certain places (such as Letterman) have crowd restrictions/ "safety hazards" that prevent the needed enjoyment of bands.

[MusicVideoJudge1]

@ashklaxon its a letermen crowd

[datappajoos]

@ashklaxon It's a letterman crowd. What do you expect? LOL

[SummersPep]

@datappajoos RIGHT!!! 100% AGREE

[footyfanNo9]

seen them live

ha ha ha

best song is clint eastwood

[Llynok]

Very messy performances. Stay in the studio.

[PStoriesTV]

love gorillaz, hate vevo, hate with all my heart the COPYRIGHT!

[bananasplitttt]

saw these guys live in vancouver. incredible.

[abhijeet1goyal]

20 mesmerized skeletons

[TheMCJakeyb]

Man Damian Albarn is a genious... How can he become world famous with BLUR and then completly change his style and do it all again with Gorrilaz, the guys got some pure skill... even if he dont sound too great live on this video...He still kicks some serious Assss!

[danielhl22]

@TheMCJakeyb and also whit the not so famous but awesome the good the bad and the queen

[AMYNLISABFFE]

@TheMCJakeyb it's actually DAMON Albarn, just sayin'.

[rafaelmadferit]

@TheMCJakeyb

Damon, not Damian.

[123hellllllllllllllo]

@TheMCJakeyb *Damon* *GorilLaz* 

[okkcomputer]

@TheMCJakeyb DAMON

[TheMCJakeyb]

@okkcomputer Matttttt Damon????

[7hink]

@TheMCJakeyb Don't forget "The Good, The Bad and The Queen" either. Not quite as commercially succesful but still seriously brilliant.
