While I agree that the Avett's currently blow Mumford out of the water, I don't know if the two should be so readily compared. The Avett Brothers draw a lot of inspiration from the rock world and have been making music for more than a decade. Mumford and Sons prefer soulful inspiration and are relatively young.
When I saw them live Seth just threw the tambourine like really high in the air behind him when he was done with it...man...no other bands ca even play the tambourine like the Avetts....
I couldn't disagree more. The Avetts and M&S are two of my favorite bands, and I don't think in any way The Avett Brothers would upstage Mumford, or vice versa. In my opinion, seeing Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers in one concert together would be amazing.
@SportsFanatic6251 I was going to say the same. What an awesome concert it would be...not to mention the opportunity for collaboration live. Not sure why people always feel the need to pit bands against one another. Love em both!
touring with the avett bros would be the worst mistake mumford and sons ever made. talk about about upstaged... take a nap through the mumford and sons to prepare for or reccop from the brethren.
@BurnHefty definitely agree. Besides all of Mumford and Sons songs sounding the same, they just don't have the same stage presence that the Avetts have. I mean the Avetts just absolutely bring it unlike anyone else.
These guys are F-IN AWESOME! sidenote.....after reading some comments on here - c'mon people, really?... VEVO is why your lazy bored computer surfin asses get to listen to youtube for FREE. Yes, commercials do suck, but would you pay for youtube (or would you want to)? Maybe some would but most of you broke ass motherfuckas wouldn't pay a dime. SO QUIT CRYING. FUCK. Avett Brothers rule
If you took Punk, Alternative, and Bluegrass and mashed it up into one of those super bouncy balls and slammed the ball into the floor as hard as you could so that you could watch it ricochet off of the ceiling and walls, this is what you would get!
joe kwon strumming the cello, seth dancing as he takes off his tie, and scott's spastic movements make this my favorite avett video ever. its all perfect
it is now 2:30 a.m. where i'm at right now. my family's asleep so when i saw this, my face contorted into a very wide and silent scream. there may not be any sound coming out of my body, but there's a whole crowed screaming in my head.
listening to the other songs on the youtube playlist of all their tops, and at first i was like eh, they sound like a better, more interesting version of mumford and sons. where is the energy? but then i heard this song. reminds me of defiance, ohio. finally, some wild and crazy screaming and stomping and jumping ENERGY :)
@tessthefirst ... I'm psyched for you! Saw them for the first time in October '09 and saw them 5 more times within a year just because I HAD to!! They are awesome live! I'm jonesing for some live Avetts!! Have a great time!! :)
All I can think when they do that rap at the beginning is how many knock-down-drag-out fights my sister and I would have if we had to practice doing that in unison.
Saw this live on Palladia, it's not fake u stupid faggot motherfuckers. Are you tone deaf or just used to listening to studio magic you beiber/kanye/lilwayne niggerdicksuckin faggots. enjoy the song and stfu
Narrator1083, only thing fake is ur momz tits and I was suckin em to this song last nite faggot. Fake? What are u the music police? u don't know shit about pussy dicksucker. go kill urself. SLAMGRASS BABY. I WILL FUCK YOU IN THE SLAMGRASS PIT!
@ITipCowsWorldWide Seth's guitar has a capo on it (and quite high on the neck at that), which gives it a higher-sounding strum, fairly similar to a banjo. Don't worry, these guys are as real as they come.
@TheNarrator1083 No neither of them are playing there either it is the cello or it is fake...also I know what a capo is and how a guitar sounds with one on.....really not like a banjo at all....
@ITipCowsWorldWide hahaha you are not very smart. and you seem to think seth is playing with a capo. which he is not. also he uses a martin gold plus pickup in his guitar, and those tend to pick up a little more of the highs, but again seths guitar sounds like a guitar haha and not a banjo. they are both playing.
This is the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina (near Scott & Seth Avett's home town of Concord, NC). This concert took place on August 8, 2009, and was originally planned to be the release show for I & Love & You. But on June 21, 2009 the ILY release date was officially moved back to September 29, 2009.
On drums is Mike Marsh of Dashboard Confessional. He played a handful of shows (and Letterman) with the Avetts before they settled in with Jacob Edwards on drums in 2010.
