jimmy eat world letterman 5 5 08

[daniman1991]

I just love this band. Plain and simple. They have other Letterman video's and I've notice the improvement of quality after each song. That is what I love about J.E.W. there always changing. Never the same but always quality. Pure musicianship.

[goodbyecadillac]

Purely amazing song.

And Jim kinda looks like Tom Delonge :-)

[under0ath767]

Clarity is great, but their real work and heart and soul to keep the band alive came in bleed american and I personally think some of the absolute best songs have came since then.

[mortalcity]

clarity is their best album. by far. everything after is pretty good, but clarity all the way through blows me away every time. check it out if you guys never have.

[3of]

jimmy eat world is like a ''not too famous foo fighters''...

[lemarkie89]

this, work and 23 are my favorite songs by them.

[doomincarnate]

add Kill to that list and i'm in agreement

[pugnerd]

TOM IS SO HOT! ^v^

[crbrucelee]

These are the most underated band ever and they shouldnt be

Jimmy Eat World are legends ,

and this vid has only had 9,192views , thats ridiculous , these are amazing and they are my 2nd Favourite Band Ever !

Jimmy Eat World Rocks !

:)

[passengeruk]

totally agree :) although they are my 1st favourite lol

[traviswstone]

@passengeruk  mine too! God they should be extremely famous.

[PlykidAc3]

1st fav. as well

Such an Amazing band hands down

So much talent when they're live

It sounds exactly like the songs in their albums.

By the way in my opinon one of the greatest Jimmy Eat World songs ever.

[Shinamura]

@crbrucelee totally underated! my all time fave band! new album end of this month!

[TheScissors666]

Best song ever

[pugnerd]

I love Jimmy eat World!!!!!!!!!

this is one of my favorites from them... :P

[ConcreteRiver]

Jim sounds kinda flat in this but I'm sure this is due to bad acoustics,Rick Burch is solid on the bass.

[omahabeach65]

clarity will change your lives. bleed american was great yet i think clarity is the real shiner in JEW's discology. love that band

[Catsarecrazi99]

i f**** love this song

[OriginallyBenCh]

Greatest band in existence.

[MartinEckert]

The little interlude before the second chorus is just sweet.

[SteveC515]

that is like the most perfect live version of anything ever

[peter2360]

that's a rather bold statement.

[aaronwestlakemusic]

so true, he should think before he speaks.

[ebnation]

thats one of jimmys oooold guitars he had it since static prevails i think

[punkrage]

gotta love their live shows, whether their performance is of cd-quality or nails scratching the chalkboard.

chase this light isn't exactly their best album since its more upbeat, pop-oriented. hands down though: clarity and futures is their best albums, and stay on my side tonight! JEW for life!

[FutureMedicKyle]

Can't believe you didn't even mention Bleed American... which by the way is their best!!

:-p

[punkrage]

BA's okay. their sound and musical direction changed after signing with a major record label (take a listen to static prevails to chase this light, and tell me that you spot the difference in musical structure, for example.)

BA sounds so generic like any other band out there trying to score some hits on the radio. that's all.

I just wished they'd just stayed a little underground indie/emocore scene and people can appreciate their music more :D

[FutureMedicKyle]

Just cause music is good and well structured does not make it "generic". BA put them on the map, sold the most copies, and contains their most successful songs. Including my favorite "If You Don't, Dont" So in terms of musical value in the big picture, I'm pretty sure that album was better than "okay" :-p

[punkrage]

all those attributes you've just listed is known as being "SELL OUTS" by buying into corporate america and becoming successful out of it. if musicians really cared about music, they wouldn't dare sell their souls for potential fame and fortune. i don't want to get into all the political side to music, but that's the bloody truth. but, JEW still rocks! haha

[Silver1SWA]

Blah blah blah...I wish people would just congratulate a band for making it big. While I agree some bands sell out ridiculously and completely lose sight of their roots, but I'm so tired of this corporate blah blah bullshit sell-out nonsense. These guys play music for a living. It's their job. It's how they pay their bills.

[crbrucelee]

YH I FUCKING AGREE !

[CaseyDFloyd]

I saw them a month before this. One of the best shows, ever (next to Rush)

[crbrucelee]

class song there favourite of mine brilliant

[Unknownsage13]

So powerful. I love this band.

[Foon41]

Could you possibly upload this video to rapidshare or something? I could do with a crisp quality version. Cheers if you can.

[BleedCanadian2006]

It's A JA-90 A Modified Thinline that is now avaliable for purchase on the fender website... BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!

[davesgotmilk]

GIBSON FTW!

[bubule182]

This is a TC-90 Telecaster Thinline for information ...

[EvaGoN]

It's not a TC-90. I have a TC-90 and thats not it..

[bubule182]

It's a modified TC-90 called JA-90 ...

[EvaGoN]

Pick ups are different. The wiring system is different too. Each pickup has a dedicated tone and volume whereas the TC-90 only has one set for all pickup selections. TC-90 also has abalone inlays, different wood composure, etc. I'd say the JA-90 is a step up from the TC-90.

[rahxephonliveon]

nice telecaster

[pfaaaa]

What kinda guitar does jim use?

[pfaaaa]

Nvm, i guess its a Telecaster? maybe a red custom '72?

[thelastphilosopher]

its his signature guitar from fender not out yet

[itsjonduhh]

this is really clean, good shit.

[FunkMisterNate15]

wow its amazing how jims voice has gotten deeper. the still sound great tho the best band ever live!!!

[ukjasperx28]

awesome as shit.

[jbbacani]

I love this song so much!

[abfabali12]

Dear JEW,

Australia doesn't smell, so please come visit us, and watch all the laaahhhddiiies orgasm over your music.

Thankyou,

Bubi.

BUT SERIOUSLY!

WTF JEW!

WTF!

[mcstar101]

[Guitardude85]

[inflictedfear]

I'll hopefully be seeing them at the Sound Academy in Toronto!
