[Bigk205]

damn they sound good live!!

[ClickChase]

love the singing <3

[belfastmisogynist]

Rodrigo y Gabriela Tamacun was on before this two great tunes

[potpotpotter]

need michael back

[Renegademaster15]

Best three piece ever

[yesiamkam]

Are these guys still around?

[Renegademaster15]

@yesiamkam Yeah I saw them at Leeds Festival last year and I'm seeing them at my home town in a couple months, Middlesbrough :) Best three piece I've ever seen

[iruegas5994]

theyre breaking both my hands and telling me to take it like a ma. well FUCK THAT.

[TheMusicInMyBrain]

wow tight as hell

[bigace511]

i can play this on bass! =]]]]

[gzusd]

sounds good his tele :)

[pigbeenis]

Gotta love that 240p

Way of the future.

[smithhedgehog]

geat? is that like goat escape, or more like teet, as in when your boob pops out?

[timothyownage]

@smithhedgehog no its like the geats from beowulf

[WMDistraction]

@timothyownage

You own that name; I was about to suggest that. :( Have a vote!

[bigace511]

@smithhedgehog no back when "R" didnt exsist ;] ^^^

[muiextremoo]

me gusto (Y) :)

[gloomycityrain]

At 2:20, it sounds like he misses the note, but just keeps on playing and adding stuff not on the CD.

[surrealIdeal]

@gloomycityrain you're right; it's different. Instead of playing the same riff again, he improvises. (I think it's better)

[iioeL]

@surrealIdeal its incredibly hard playing solos in that kind of lighting

[LearnSongs]

I dont really get into it but, maybe what the dude is reffering to is not the music itself but the lyrics, and grunge/punk is used to have complaining lyrics, but then again i dont know what the songs really about, i just thought about this becouse of the title ''The Great Escape''...

[GPaDLA]

i love this song.. but it sounds like a bad performance :/

[citizenscots89]

mmmm prefer these a lot more than the strokes

[JAGGYtheSNAKE]

You don't know what grunge is then.

[Redrum267]

@JAGGYtheSNAKE Hey sweetheart, i was staying out getting stoned while your mom was still conceiving you. GO figure!

LMAO! yes, i do know plenty about grunge. And this is the most flattering imitation of it.

[JAGGYtheSNAKE]

This is nothing like Grunge, you failed epicly.

[Redrum267]

@JAGGYtheSNAKE Uhmmm...i never said it was grunge...

Grunge was buried with Kurt Kobain. Enough said.

[TheAssandtities]

@Redrum267 You know you're a twat right?

[Redrum267]

@TheAssandtities Yeah...so fucking eat me you daft cunt!

[yevveh]

@Redrum267 it may certainly be influenced by grunge, but it's definitely not grunge. I'd call WAS nerdy indie-rock. And don't get me wrong, WLAS is an awesome album.

[Redrum267]

@JAGGYtheSNAKE Didnt i just fucking tell you that i was getting stoned when grunge was born and killed? Read the comments you idiot. Stop wacking off young man! lol!

[sliver321123]

@Redrum267 Jumping on the "Redrum267 is a retard" bandwagon.

You're surely incompetant. Fuck yourself and piss off. :D

[Redrum267]

@sliver321123 AS you jump on all the cocks as well. Pretty fucking pathetic of you...to not have your own personality. Shame on you little wanker. LMAO.

[Redrum267]

@sliver321123 I Do you mean IncompetEnt? With a fucking E? You stupid fuck. LMAO!!!!! Shut up and stop trying to be cool. LMAO!

[Ainsy23]

@Redrum267 Incompetant is actually the right spelling. douche.

[TheSummerService]

@Ainsy23 incompetant is actually not the right spelling....

it's incompetent, you incompetent fuck.

[Redrum267]

@sliver321123 Delete your comments so you wont look like an asshole. Seriously. You cannot spell.

[Redrum267]

@OptimusicPrime Huh? Let me try to understand what the hell you just said...

Oh. Uhmm...i dont know actually. Lol, whats your point?

[garrethdavis]

tune!!!

[simocullen7]

imo, not as good as strokes but stil brilliant!!!!!!

second best band in usa!!

[WMDistraction]

@simocullen7

Just curious, but first is what?

[simocullen7]

the strokes:P

[Webuybombs]

lol "the geat escape"

[Busedame]

It's amasing sound and a cool video,if you ask me <3

[rocklegend94]

Nice stache!

[CaptainJbp]

Telecaster sound <3

[MitchelMcCormick]

ahhaha the title

[spartan92695]

Awesome drumming!!

[jphobbit]

I have that bass, except it's in baby blue. and it is fantastic

[jackrubinstein]

you're the only idiot here, i'm afraid...

[theCM3000]

tapper is a great drummer

[heroinhero69]

they'll ever be the same since michael left

[DrEyebrows]

Rabadabadoshabadoshabadobaba do do

[briznarks]

Ahhh yes the classic "Geat" Escape. back before "R;s" were invented. LOVE WAS though.

[bigace511]

????

[shadowofendless]

it should be great not geat

[briznarks]

Look at the description

[MikesOnTheRoadToZion]

your joke makes no sense because there is an "R" in "aRe"

[commie111]

your all fucking stupid....

[typoded]

one of the tags says the geat escape. i dunno what you're on...

[bignoisematt]

@briznarks Ahh this comment back before apostrophes were invented; there was stupidity though. :)

[autoinfanticideband]

this makes me want to mess up my hair and jump about. (drunk)

[carbonstixdrummer]

done that its awesome :D

and to nobody move nobody get hurt lol

[MidGroundInertia]

for the longest time i thought he was saying oh oh ahhoh in stead of up up ahhhup

[DeansterTheSnow]

I lol'd at "Geat".

[owls2k]

BRING BACK MICHAEL

[stephenouve]

michael left they didnt kick him out

[owls2k]

He always seemed like an outsider compared to chris and keith

[VelvetRazz]

he chose to be a douche.

[kingddd133]

yeah he didnt really seem to have the awkward humor that chris and keith have

[DerekLuna]

Yeah, Michael has pretty good drum technique.

[sophrscientists]

Michael's an awesome drummer, he just never really enjoyed touring with WAS, as far as i'm aware. keith and chris are crazy close and unbelievably alike, michael, not so much - i think that's why. he's touring with bishop allen now though, so the talent isn't wasted.

[cosmoslides]

too bad bishop allen sucks sweaty balls compared to tWAS

[kumparica]

This is the first time I've listened to the band, and my first impression is - great!! :))

[sparkylampshade]

@kumparica oh the irony.

[dl1151]

i miss their old drummer...

[DeliveryMan21]

later always has the best musicians on it

[gregorymoran]

I know! I use to have this channel with jools on it, but they removed it from cablevision. Im so pissed now. Great show.

[mikeelyee]

@DeliveryMan21 thats not a correct statement. everybody plays on this show, the good musicians and the okay ones.

[carlo88moe]

@mikeelyee actually neither of your statements can be considered as truth, both are opinion, so HA....

[WondergirlPD]

:( I miss Michael!!!

[niwaegian]

xD

2:18 sounds like Italian music.

[user0name9]

good times.

[kingddd133]

OMG i want his telecaster

[KBombDiggity777]

[kane19solrac2008]

[J03KAH]

[dugi55555]

[kagaingas]

[BoutToCallBovice]

[evandry]

Muito bom!! Sem comentários posteriores!

[KingdomKyrdos]

This is awesome, the people at Jools must like their music a lot since they've played a lot of songs there.

[devilshaircutnessity]

[KingdomKyrdos]

[muttonofgod]

props to Samehadaottoko!!

fucking boys like girls can lick my hairy balls that they dont have.

[SamehadaOttoko]

Yes this is The Great Escape, not that pussy Boys Like Girls shit.

[robinn1]

hahaha awesome comment

[GuerraLumbriga]

Why the guitarists of this new indie rock bands always uses Telecasters?

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

The tone. The telecaster has the lowest to highest register of all the major electric guitars. Most indie bands are influenced by the lower end used in a lot of the "dirtier" classic rock groups and the higher end of ska.

It's a good idea.

[wehp]

John 5 teles are the best out of all teles. best standard pickups.

[Tsuekasa]

hell no.. American Deluxe and American standard are the best.

[adajensen]

i would say a 1952 tele is the best tele....

who cares about pickups?????i put custom pickups in all my guitars anyways...

[TheMusicalElitist]

Whats wrong with the telecaster?

[Tod3]

The tele's great for any genre but I can understand the remark. This whole indie things painted itself into a corner now. It is very saleble and trite. Not so much we are scientist though they are poppy. But stuff like pigeon detectives. It needs somet new to shake it up.

[Tsuekasa]

I use a telecaster for my indie band, I like the fact that no one uses the guitar and the distorted twang i get.

[cowieRFC]

cause their amazing guitars you freak

[sk8terlover24]

this is soo awesome

[Jamie49]

Yeah they could have turned their mics up a bit since it was hard to hear the "ahhhh" part, but still good.

[tomlbn]

maybe cos chris is fucking miles away from the mic, lol

[ysimmy]

fantastic !!!

[RommySabell1990]

oppss ╚The great escape

[RommySabell1990]

Geat? ahahaha╚ great scape

[salutetokareem]

The great Escape ... dude !

[emalizer]

wicked performance, love them.

[zombywoof101]

ha ha saw these fella's on ma 18th b.day n then met keith n mike afta - what a night :D

[Snakebloke]

u dont want live to be the same, thats part of the magic of live shows ffs. if it was the same as the album then noone would go to concerts/gigs.

i think this version is brilliant.

p.s: bassist13, if his voice was any louder, hed be louder than the lead singer and that would be terrible

[GreenSpyder]

hmm..keith's solo was different.

[RawrArgh]

i think he plays it slightly different each time or something...cause he's played it different to the album both time i've seen them :)

[paulabouvier]

i love it :D!

[blinkinbagpuss]

bassist13, he has a verrrrry loud singing voice ;-)

and selish77, i suppose you could do better! pffft!

[bassist13]

ok it just doesnt seem like it, it really seems like the drummer

[selish77]

Wasn't criticizing. They sound good here and when I've seen them. Just didn't think it sounds any better acoustic.

[seansheehy]

just cos your jealous mr.bassist13

[bassist13]

no im pointing that out

[bassist13]

it sounds good, but the bassist makes a pathetic attempt at baking vocals. he cant make much sound from 5 feet away.

[selish77]

correct. slower, not better.

[gpawitandra]

sounds slower

[Mondonitis]

sounds better acoustic.

[xipiroli]

brilliant
