Metric Monster Hospital, Acoustic

[mguygh]

she has great legs

[devourerofbabies]

Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller and he beat him hands down.

[Jayfeatherclaw]

they like, bob their heads in unison

[galerandyaddict]

her voice has such an amazing texture and doing acoustic shows how most of it gets lost in their album versions

[esankk]

so amazing ugh!!!! i love how she says I've been bad at 1:01

[Cuandoeslachupa]

it seems like she says I fuck the world but the world won

[lumburgapalooza]

@Cuandoeslachupa

UGH...

Now I can't unhear it!

[popeyeswife]

@lumburgapalooza your gay



[lumburgapalooza]

@popeyeswife

Normally I would reply to a comment like this with a "MY gay? I don't own a gay", or something else to poke fun at your illiteracy. I may have even taken the time to reprimand you for being such a bigot as to think that "gay" and "lame" are synonymous. Or maybe you're just stating that I'm a homosexual. In that case, sure. I dig dudes. What of it?

That having been said, read the comment I responded to. I wasn't insulting the song, which is what I assume you misread my comment as.

[rep300]

I love how she sings this. She kinda has to change the volume on certain things to suit the acoustic, and she does it perfectly. So hot.

[snfronius]

if a crack head one sexy crack head with a fucking great voice... and she loves wearing sexy heels. mmm

[s0succexy]

God I jizzz so hard when I hear metric

[Hustlerae]

i love emily haines

[M3lloW55]

shes been bad.

[jaymzhancock93]

james looks right cracked out, lol

[MychaelHelmz]

Her Drug Addiction Is In Her Lyrics Just Like Kurt Cobain or Placebo or Several Others... I Also Think She's More Of A Downer Type Of Girl Anywayz...

[LunarEllipsesBand]

Who cares whether she is on cocaine or not? She's still very talented.

[FlashingFountain]

shes wearing sunglasses cuz shes fucking badass

[Patriciamcb]

@FlashingFountain hellz yaa! x)

[workyourblondexo]

she says "i've been bad" sooo cute

[domi2fast4u]

Ever think maybe she was just up working late,recording,in the studio,writing etc?So easy for people to just judge and assssume.One of the most talented and new sound groups to come out in a long time.not the same ole.Way to represent Canada Metric.

[angelitab19]

if she was a dude there would be no comments on the sunglasses.

[Kirthey]

Actually, I think in an interview somewhere she said that she had a black eye at the time and wore the shades to cover it up.

[dumd1ddly]

She is probably nervous and wore shades to feel more secure.... that's what I think. I like her the way she is...

[Foyie]

she wears those boots alot <3

[DistantTwinkle]

A lot of musicians do drugs and a lot allege that they don't!!! I think the whole deal with the glasses is that its a way for her to hide from cameras in a way. She'd rather be all about the music, the voice, rather than the image. Lately she's be less with them, she's probably getting more comfortable with the media because their not leaving now, major motion picture soundtrack = Exposure. I believe Metric is now mainstream but at least people will finally know who they are!!I<3Metric

[platypae333]

@DistantTwinkle I heard her say in an interview that she just wants to be a sound. She doesn't want people to attach her face (or her legs) to her music. I think it sounds so beautiful, poetic and amazing. She made me want to be a sound. I don't want to be a face, though. I want to be a sound because a sound can last for ever and a sound is judge on it's quality (when there's no face attached, or name, or status) only.

[BananaParty]

Hey, how about everyone shuts up and listens to the music instead of worrying why Emily's wearing sunglasses. Really.

[elliotwibley]

It doesn't look like she's loaded. It looks like she's been socked in the face and she's covering a bruise with those awful shades.

[ryank289]

There is no way this song could ever sound good acoustically. So why do it? And wearing giant giant sunglasses in a bright room is a douchebag move.

[linksfiery22]

i think shes got lead in her head to make up stupid lyrics like this hahaa

[eden365]

Haha I love how she's having to actively stop herself from shouting out certain parts.

And if you want to listen to her acoustic stuff just listen to her own albums.

Emily Haines "knives don't have your back" is a good one.

[1eva23]

some songs are not meant to be performed acoustic...

[beanandres]

hey im emily im cool so i wear sunglasses inside

[LoriMeyers]

@beanandres

ahahahhahahahhahahahaha

[beanandres]

@LoriMeyers lawlzzz

[lessinbeen]

lol why do you think she's wearing the sunglasses? ;) lmao <3

[porcelaindollscene]

In my opinion, Emily Haines is wearing sunglasses because she felt like doing so, and obviously she does whatever she wants...I ♥ ♥ ♥ Emily, her music, and it's message.

[dan1000t]

lol shes sooo fuckin baked

[dan1000t]

Man Emily is toooooooo sick

[1073kat]

the lowest thing you can do in an interview or performance is wear sun glasses. How impressional and detached can you be from your art an audience? Is she stoned or something? pitty. RUBBISH.

[naseoj]

it's too bad emily's a crack whore and does a line before every show so she goes onstage totally incoherent.

[CalebTheGuitarist]

wheres that coming from exactly????

[WPAandthewolf]

gwendona who cares shes sexy

[evand180]

I think Emily has an amazing voice, just not in this video. It does sound allright, but she could have done better, i think some sort of drug the night before played a part.

[gogesyboi]

smutyhouse u have no clue...

[smutyhouse]

not sure about the riff. soons like the sort of stuff kids wrote in secondary school

[ammodanger]

i much perfer this teardown version to the original...

[ammodanger]

i perfer this teardown version to the original .. even tho i think it could do with a light drum in it..

[Gwendona]

I lover her voice <3

but why is she looking so thin?

[thegrizzly52]

emily is hella cute and she has a great voice

[119Elias119]

I prefer the original, this is pretty good though.

[gustiiin]

horrible

[MrKingster432]

i like the song help me im alive lol the resident evei lversion lol u guys tell me wat u like susribe me lol

[Stevenjjackson]

It's "help I'm alive". God..

[deemusicfreak]

Lolz half of metric. I <3 metric acoustics!

[SweetestXKiss12]

They should do an all-acoustic album. It'd be greatttt. Metric Forever<3

[healoverme]

i think they are doing one actually.

[peacemonger1967]

great version...totally works on acoustic

[thomasrix]

how could you not like this?!

I haven't even heard the recorded version, and I know that this rocks righteously. Now to listen to the record!

[anonimas777]

I just posted comment about doggy fans of god and protectors - Youtube and similar. And my comment somehow is missng. I feel pity for pastorates, sometimes.

[anonymformusic]

Who just marked the last comment as spam? Who has similar opinion?

Comments don't become like spams in seconds. Looks like youtube did this by them self.

[kwikflikz]

i agree - doesn't work as well as others could acoustically - she finished the the show last nigh in kitchener with this version...

[NZerouki91]

she actually hurt her eye with a mike and had a black eye...but the other theories could be true too!

[loafair]

Monster hospital does not work acoustically.

[rorrt]

I sort of agree, in the album version with the repeated lines of "I fought the war, i fought the war, and the war won", you get a little refrain with the line "Stop for the love of God", so yeah i sort of agree, though she definetly sounds great.

but the album version is good also, its like the comparison between "The man who sold the world", with Nirvana and Bowie, acoustic and electric need not clash in its ever searching quest for music, and the best format for music

[boyfriendclub]

she straight up asked someone i know where she could get coke, at a concert in victoria. she's amazing, nonetheless.

[lifelonggaybot]

lol that's pretty funny

she looks like she does coke

[Simicrop]

You get thumbs up for being from Victoria. Listen to the Zone?

[GeorgiaTheJellyhead]

i love her but the glasses arent really needed are they

[nikorble2]

hangover glasses, lol

[rodpowder]

shes just really high any she dosnt want ppl to know so she wears sunglasses :P

[aandreabishopp]

she sounds so good.

[aracdeeditor92]

LOVE LOVE LOVE HER.

i have such a girl crush on her and her voice and everythng about her.

<3<3<3<3

[maimiaa]

yayy, i'm not alone! :D <3 her.

[sebbybob]

haha

the parts where emily's supposed to shout, she sings so quietly

"i've been bad, i've been bad, i've been....... bad...." =)

drugs? really,guys? maybe she just has a massive hangover.

[DaanieBoy]

I'm so glad that they are FINALLY coming to Australia :D

[RedrumSunglasses]

Psh.

I'm bitter.

They're doing over 18 concerts :P

UGH this is just like that time ben kweller came to tasmania. I mean seriously, australians don't even come to tasmania. And it was an over 18 concert. FMFL

[soddy31]

Dude i know how you feel. When daft punk played in Sydney i missed out by week. Was so devastated. oh well only thing you could do is get a fakey or just wait.

[soddy31]

yess parklife!!!!!

[HerrowItsJess]

I love her voice.

[baronmorris]

very pixies meets pj harvey

that's a good thing. ;-)

peace

[alberta1235]

i really don't think she's a crackhead.

she's too respond=sible to be one, and mature, if you get what i'm sayin.

[dayinthelife06]

Emily is bangin hot crackhead or not

[evanisb0ss]

NotACrackhead.

[matt55665566]

All i have to say Is if Emily Haines is a Crackhead like all of you is assuming, She is one Real Beautiful 36 year-old Crackhead!

[MadiBucket]

i whole-heartedly agree.

[eddy1073]

@matt55665566 if she does crack, im going to start doing crack. oh lord

[abbottboi]

@matt55665566

me too matt!

I hate how people consider unique artists as druggies or whatever. Even if she was.. appreciate the music.. she doesn't miss a beat :)

[ivyquainoo]

@matt55665566 wow. she's old

[sclements75]

She even sounds good whispering!

[TheRedScareIsAlive]

Long Night!!!

Great.... Great... Great!!!

[Prismatic19]

that was amzing

[funlivelife]

she's always stoned....love it!!! Hides her sleepy drowsy magical eyes with shades huh?

[funlivelife]

Awesome song

[RJTheDestroyer21]

Emily's voice is amazing :D

[zombiesxlolz]

I don't understand the cocaine accusations. Have you not seen musicians when they have been touring none stop? Maybe they were tired, maybe they were high. I don't care as long as it doesn't affect the music.

And there's been intense criticisms on Soft Skeleton shows but honestly, can you blame her? She toured that album to death and if I were playing personal deep songs about broken friendships and my dead father I wouldn't be in the best mood ever.

She's looking healthy and happy since then.

[beyourself180]

I like this a lot, think all their songs would be amazing acoustic.

love emilys shades as well :)

[dancray]

speculations of drug abuse, but no one questions the message.?

[crazykasama]

This song doesn't suit being acoustic.

[chrishan7]

shes cray hot omg

[BobMcCob]

Any drug user and artist knows that the drugs are critical in their art, just like any other life experience. Anyone who disagrees is neither an artist nor a drug user.

[felixcommi]

I agree. As much as I wish it wasn't true, it is. Ted Nugent is proof of what sobriety does for creativity...and it ain't positive. I'll go with Hendrix and Clapton.

[XiaoPow]

This might be true for some (or a lot of people). But definitley not for all.

[SVLauren]

I totally disagree, a real artist is a genius even when he doens't use drugs. jimi has always been a genius long before he started using drugs just like all the others, they just couldn't resist it but that doens't mean the drugs helped them to be creative they always were, so you don't make sense at all

[BobMcCob]

@SVLauren I never said that. I said that all experiences in life are critical to art. If you do drugs, that is an experience in life. Drugs influence art in the way that owning a dog or believing in a certain religion or what city you live in or what hardships you face.

Therefore drugs are a critical in the art of a drug using artist.

Please people read the fucking comment.

[Fateisawhore]

Aww don't put yourself down... PMA is the key ;]

[AnthraXXmS]

The men looks like Calogero.

[tornadoteaparty]

If you were emily haines and playing a show without your synths or keyboards and were being recorded for rolling stone wouldn't you wear huge ass sunglasses? And if you were emily haines on drugs and being recorded for rolling stone wouldn't you wear huge ass sunglasses? Speculaaaaaation. Shouldn't matter either way. xoxo

[0TH3RN4M3]

I agree, I was sent by a link here from a comments saying that the "cured" to get off her was watching this viedo.. but still, she is a beautiful singer with a beautiful voice!

[giorgio345]

this is fuckin awesome, love her voice

[kevsickboy]

god! people are talking about drugs like they're a bad thing!? :)

[CheckeredDemon310]

Haha, ya no kidding!

They never say no when a doctor prescribes them Vicodin and Percocets do they?

[iamcondescending]

dude i got perks for my wisdom teeth removal (i had all four out at once so thats why i got em) and they fucked me up i dont know if someone on perks could sit on a stool never mind do a mini concert

i personally spent most of my time on them between states of amnesia, dizziness and unconsiousness

BUT i didnt feel any pain!!!!!!!!!

[soulranger1209]

its only acoustic she's not on any drugs

[xatarix13]

drugs or not,she's still amazing :D

[MonstersxEatxPeople]

haha she's not on drugs.

nor is she high.

trust me I know what being high is.

plus its acoustic.its suppose to be mellow..thats what acoustic is silly ones.

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

The glasses don't mean she's high. It's just a breathy version of the song, like the opposite of the high-energy version they do at concerts. That's just the kind of person she is it's just more intimate and achy this way and absolutely amazing. I LOVE them!

[shutteredmemory]

great song, her voice is so smoky and relaxed

[metricLover9999]

like im one of emily's biggest fans and i sadly agree

like i saw her last night and shes high no dought :P

[coolkr3w58]

videos out of sync

[davetheman213]

if u think this is cool u should check out the mstrkrft remix of this song.

[GtoTHEparathyroid]

no way the remix sucks balls compared to the original. it doesn't even compare

[patmisa]

man I want to learn to play that

[srhxng]

love love love

emily haines and metric are amazing.

haha...i showed my cousin this

and he said emily sounded like macy gray,

idk where that came from. lol

[Moviestartarantula]

rofl, i love the remix by chloe and tyler, but that original is just cranky XD

[mizzpatzz]

I like their music butt

emily haines is a royal cunt.

[Mibzay]

Her voice sounds great without electronic perfecting etc.

Thats what I love about metric =]

[plumptoad]

the clip is great, her voice is great.

[RAWRitsH0N3STY]

hahah.

at first when i read the title i thought "there is no way that they can do Monster Hospital ACOUSTIC and actually sound good"

but i've been proved wrong.

<3

[Rikku017]

what in hell is she singing out?!? I'm so confused.

[guitardude1050]

this is such a bad song. unless its remixed god it sounds crap

[MyYellowBrickWall]

thats cause youre tone deaf.

[guitardude1050]

ahahah, im the singer\guitarist in a pub band

[xXDeviantSeraphXx]

You are sooo cool...

[Magikdonut]

Metric, apparently, play around the world, rather than in a pub. I dunno, thats what ive heard.

[guitardude1050]

and dude she is semi tone deaf.

[MyYellowBrickWall]

well, either you love or hate it.

[shadowlord1990]

I dunno. It seems more like either you love it or you're stupid.

And play in pubs. Where everyone is drunk and can't tell what you're playing anyway.

[MyYellowBrickWall]

uh dude, you replied the wrong guy.

[shadowlord1990]

No because you were the one that said you either love or hate it.

[MyYellowBrickWall]

oh okay then, ill take it as a compliment then :D

[bluntedbear]

This is the coolest! I love this song both ways!!!!!!

[itskez20]

how?

[jarschz1]

Where, oh, where can I get this Mp3??? Limewire is somewhat ignorant in this sense. And I need this version. :(

[Paperkut98]

She's cute, and I like her voice. Man, I wish I could find Metric's CDs around town.

[joshyboy152]

LOVE HER! LOVE THE SONG!

[Lanhua92]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[Fatbatman]

Emily Haines is unique.

[rxqueen22]

wow i love her

[wazerface7]

Enily is one of the few people who can make hard and soft music sound amazing. Her Solo stuff is amazing, without compare. And then Metric is one of the few bands that really know what they stand for, unlike nowadays where its all "make it to the top" in the music industry. There aren't enough artist like Emily Haines, and not enough bands like Metric.

[ryanpurtill]

Marry me Emily!

[danielnorgrenjensen]

NO... marry me!

[Brookiee45]

i cant tell if shes wired

or hung over...

im sooo confused

:S

[agoodgirlNOT]

emily is just music magic.

weird? yes

hung over? possibly

but thats why we love her.

[Liarsenic777]

WIRED.

[TheShen74]

man this girl is so talented. her musical talent aside, she's one of those artists that makes you think of the nature of the human condition. She has such a unique take on things if you watch her interviews... she's prolific like bjork or beth gibbons. listen to metric... it will make you thirst for more substantial music.
