Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date With The Night (Live Letterman)

[stevekc43]

I feel like I just woke up from a nightmare!

[GreenGrayRain]

Am I the only one who thinks fever to tell it's amazing but the other ones suck?

[halesterable]

@GreenGrayRain Agreed, their albums just kept getting suckier and suckier. They should have stayed with their original sound.

[GreenGrayRain]

@halesterable Couldn't agree more, such a pitty, fever to tell has such an original sound.

[norahmonroe]

I LIKE THIS SONG :) HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE KINDA FUNNY..

[eltambore]

@MJero83

Sweet!! Haha, i liked a couple songs like pin maps & y control. just wasn't a fan of this one^^^^ lol.

[pollyskirt1]

she can play in my club anytime

[eltambore]

I'm gonna get slammed for this but I thought fever to tell sucked a shitload. Except for maybe pin & y control.

[mlup]

@eltambore Ima slam youuuuu!!!!!!

[MJero83]

@eltambore As long as you don't think it anymore you are forgiven :)

[SavethexQueen]

Fever To Tell was their best album

[zfl27]

@mrjfray if she's such a terrible singer why are you watching this video or commenting on it? I find it very annoying how some people watch videos on YouTube just to comment negatively on them. If you don't like the band or the video, don't watch it!!!!

[orochimaruxever]

mother of god O_Ó

[PinzquBall]

Why this shows only my views?

[reubadub]

Only Karen O can wear two belts and not look like a twat

[toasted4life420]

This bitch is crazy

[TheAnchella]

@toasted4life420

and you like it :)

[ApplianceOperator]

@toasted4life420 - No, that's Karen O.

[achillez88]

Each member of the YYYs is unique in their own right. Why I love this band!

[housecry]

Great band awesome performance.

[smithhedgehog]

I love the way she says "BITE"

[buffaloehair]

Gobble a dick

[pbsfinest2004]

FREE KRISTEN JOY!

[HOLIVARESM]

Notable los yyys

Saludos desde Chile

[AddyLovett]

Love this, wants her jeans...

[betthisonesfree]

kinda reminds me of iggy pop

[Megastros]

kinda suck live : s

[Kirascry]

@Megastros They rock. xD It's raw, gritty, dirty and energetic as 123PullOut321 said. 

[Megastros]

@Kirascry ah listen to the pixies live then listen to this , they just arent my Live cup of tea lol

[Kirascry]

@Megastros I love the pixies. But this garage punk, it's raw and it's dirty, if it's not your cup of tea then you probably won't ever see them live. xD

[3Evelynee]

20 people suck!!

[wwwsnips]

loko

[OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun]

Karen O is such a crazy bitch in the best way possible.

[TheCalumlz]

i would love to party with Karen O <3

[nateitalianstallion]

You can tell how much of their inspiration comes from the cramps. Her stage presence really reminds me of lux interior.

[wanwomgirl]

fuck she's crazy. i love it.

[Bunee232]

Dam Shes Sexy

[goodeone92]

Is any one else having problems with this video? When I have tried to watch it, the video starts flashing colors becomes very pixelated. I can hear the audio, however I cannot watch the video. Just wondering.

[evilnarc]

1:07 nick jacking off

[Intedra0]

@evilnarc LOL idiot  xD ur rules dud!

[goncack]

Karen O should be an actress.

[larslikesguitars]

@goncack agreed

[HowlinAdamJames]

@goncack porn star :)

[Sheebeedeebee]

this is incredible

[stanleyspedowski]

I remember watching this on Letterman back then. I was blown away and went and bought their album soon after. its too bad the end is cut off because because Lettermans reaction is awesome. he absolutely loves them (especially Karen) and says something like "how's that for entertainment!" and pleads for them to come back soon.

[DreamWriter99]

The ONLY people that can pull off garage in my opinion. :)

[Kaicoyote]

Ahh the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, one of my favorite of few bands from todays generation. Karen O is so awesome and an entertaining act along with her fellow band mates. I just love how she is so full of energy and it's interesting because punk isn't one of my big tastes but Yeah Yeah Yeahs just do it for me.

Really awesome post. = )

[MysticGrant]

What pedal(s) is nick using here? anyone know?

[pyrowolf54]

@MysticGrant idk what pedals he is using but it just sounds like distortion and the weird robotic sound he gets is most likely from some really short slapback style delay.

[TheseYeahThese]

@MysticGrant

im guessing a distortion pedal, with a type of muff pedal.

[MysticGrant]

@TheseYeahThese yes I know, I meant specific pedals, thanks anyway.

[platypae333]

She's crazy, I love it!

[joeperryforpope]

fuckin amazing

[aortaable]

If I could chose one person to sing like it would be her.

[RpgExposition]

Karen should be a metal vocalist. That growing stuff she did. XD

[krutter9900]

more talent and energy, and inebriation than most :)

[signofempathy]

karen o's face is so delightful.

[Pho20GurL]

this is FUCKING AWESOME........... she can rock that stage

[Kick2Crash]

Wow this is terrible.

[OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun]

@Kick2Crash

It's what punk is all about: instead of singing monotonously and lets the band do most of the work, breaks the rules and sings like a madwoman. It's really brilliant.

[evelrobot]

@Kick2Crash you blow

[darkmaul1993]

Geez, that 0:13 smile *O* !

[thelegendrubyrodd]

this fucking rocks. hi, my name is ruby rodd and i approved this fucking message

[wanwomgirl]

KAREN MOTHERFUCKING O, hell yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeahs kick so much ass

[blah3189]

at 1:52

his guitar sounds like an elephant

[LollyGabby]

@blah3189 *ROFLMAO*

[absintHorArkqn]

No bass? 

[deaconkris]

@absintHorArkqn

They use a bass on some songs and have a bass player on some songs when they play live but theres just three members and no official bassist

[RichardBLongly]

I love this song. B\

[gbgg9409]

Gotta love YYYs. Pure energy.

[4578a]

I can only imagine some hick motherfucker(or most "normal" people watching this and going "what the fuck is this shit!"' Furthur proof that anything that is easily made fun of by a large group of people is invariably cool to another smaller group of more creative unique original types of people. This is the irony of cool. It ain't what it used to be.

[dandilla8D]

This is something that a lil girl would probably do while recording herself when she was home alone, and she would be killed with total embarressment if this got out to the public.

[LiBERAT1ON]

@dandilla8D

And that's why it fucking rocks.

I'm telling ya, if Robert Plant was a girl...

[jackalhax]

Karen O is my fucking idol.

[Reihmsie]

I'm sure that when they saw this, the audience were like "What the F*** just happened!" =D

[blueorchid38]

I wish they would go back to writing the types of songs they did in their first album :-( 2nd and 3rd are boring to me

[AnthonHarvey18]

i love these guys! and girl, but i really want to know what the audience thought of her

[Jerkicus]

this is bad music

[MrShagnasty18]

Notice the Free Christian Joy Shirt ........

[girlygoth180]

i love the yeah yeah yeahs and i lover her energy!!!

[MatthewLedZepfan]

I love the yeah yeah yeahs and I bet the audience wasn't expecting that at all haha. I love how much energy karen O has puts in her performance even if its just a two minute appearance on a talk show lol

[animeherosavesworld]

pwns lady gaga

[Smakedsilly54]

@animeherosavesworld Loll

[topscoops]

Damn she is sexy!

[slchotmail]

wats thissong called?

[Jowind]

for arrested development fans:

chicken dance at 0:34

[annehdoll]

haha! I was totally thinking that before I saw your comment

[rosesinsnow814]

Karen O is DEFINITELY my favorite female singer :) and she's HOT that certainly helps...

[beangie]

meh, same old, same old... Nothing new under the sun :(

[HowlinAdamJames]

Your a cunt.

[farz1313]

Karen O is just simply divine! I think I'm in love with her hahhaha

[aka319]

Fking awsome saw them live 2 day ago - this song and Art Star blew me away... the reason why I got into YYY's was this song, saw the clip on TV and went I gotta get this band and have been massive fan since.... Karen O is a goddess and Nic BAMF

[myballzitch92]

i love comments like these. but no one ever talks about poor Brian :[ he needs love too.

[OurIdleDays]

@myballzitch92 BRIAAAAAAAN! <3

[ahmedibnfahdlan83]

she is ugly but she make me so horny, once i had a girlfriend like her,  ugly but hot and sexy.

[farz1313]

that made a LOT of sense. I think the words you were looking for is sex appeal?

Either way, she's far from ugy but then again to each his own

[FxxkingUp]

It's Blitz! is a great album, but i miss THIS...

[XR4turbo]

@FxxkingUp 3 albums of this and it wouldn't as special anymore.

[mentalcase13]

Now THIS is music. >:)

[mrwilliwizard]

@mentalcase13 helll yea

[elmofly]

what the fuck ust happen

[one11won]

every time i watch this clip i end up watching it at least 3x, hypnotizing and sooo good

[shatmuch]

Saw them last night. Amazing !

[CheapSteaks]

That was a weird song compare to her other ones

[4MATICbenz]

the part at 0:37 made me laugh xD

[ChoconanaShake]

Waste of talent on this horrible singer.

[123PullOut321]

Obviously you have no grasp on the concepts of garage and punk. Its supposed sound raw, dirty and energetic. If you want some boring, generic live performance, watch a Nickelback vid.

[Ant57fr]

@123PullOut321

Now, now, I understand c0stlytech's reaction... Whether or not one likes garage and punk, I can't say this is a very easy way to get introduced to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. If I hadn't started with the first EP before seeing them live, I'm pretty sure that video would have turned me off.

[blacktwink]

@123PullOut321 that dude in nickelback yells on every fucking song!

[DietAudreyCola]

@123PullOut321

ahhh... this is a funny comment!

[mrjfray]

@123PullOut321 Or she's just a terrible singer. There's a big difference between sounding raw dirty and energetic and sounding like your voice has an epileptic seizure. There's always door number two.....

[anononomous]

@mrjfray Just have a brief glance at one of the less punky yyys performances (say Zero on Letterman or the aol acoustic ones)... it can indeed be door 2, but in this case it's definitely door 1.

[jeremologyy]

@mrjfray she does have a pretty nice voice when she calms down. check her Wild Things soundtrack (namely "Worried Shoes" and "Hideaway).

[smithhedgehog]

@mrjfray go see them live, and see if you still think that. Her singing dosen't really come across on video, but she REALLy can sing, she's just doing a lot of this screech for style and effect...and it works better when you're in the same room as her/them.

[jurgenbergen]

@mrjfray there is no door number two this time buddy. she can sing.

[Galakazoo]

You're... kidding, right? o_o

[c0stlytech]

HOW THE HELL IS THIS MUSIC!?!?! is that even english..? IS THAT EVEN A LANGUAGE!?!?!?!

[melvinceltic]

she's fucking awesome by the way, especially as they weren't that big at this point were they? fair fucks to them

[pennydesouza]

Isn't there something faintly Liza Minnelli about her?

[xXiLLeGaLdRUgXx]

Holy crap! Karen is so skinny compared to 6 years back!

But I kinda liked them better then (or Karen for that matter) because the performance was so much more raw. No make-up or control. Loose. Free. Like them.

[bruwhite007]

oh yeah. saw them in galsgow last week. the guitars were too loud and dirty. it was just fantastic

[homogenic97]

Phenomenal performance

[creideamhfuels]

and i was worried they wouldn't be themselves! : D

[mfdangerdoom899]

I like cats.

[rockerchick307]

love it love it!!

[Ramones3775]

she sucks

[retepatulp]

i love her.

[snowkittin1]

[noconfusion25]

I like how she stomps her feet at the drum beat.

[ultravaccine]

kewl kids still belong tpogether and she will be the leader

[soadfan33]

I like how she is so happy!!

[Vavfaf]

love it so much! :D

[mrcloudymtn]

its so funny i can pretty much guess what year these vids were taken by looking at karen's hair hahahha

[ImpatientLime]

lol, she has a funny face.

[telepylus111]

coolest chick ever

[espinoza956]

1/2 the time i dont know what she is saying, BUT IT STILL FUCKEN ROCKS! Great beat, and awesome performance!

[kingddd133]

she's so hot here

[killermod0]

imagine being an older person who listens to simon and garfunkel and shit and listening to the yeah yeah yeahs for the first time hahaha.

[budfloydi]

haha, their heads will explode

[TheFinalCut2207]

Hey, S&G had some great albums. You could love both the YYY's and S&G. I know I do.

[aznpinoy666]

1:55 to 1:59 just amazingly hot.

[mrwilliwizard]

haha yea shes so cool

[damicoma]

her shirt says free christian joy thats the chick that makes all her costumes

[PaperBagRecords]

[doughdoughhead]

lucky people at letterman... that clear of a view is priceless

[mmarriuss]

[cleissoncarapp]

Awesome!!!

[appleshampoo91]

Karen O. is just so AH AH AH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AH!!!

<333

[lucieblack]

chiiiiills. karen is the hapa punk queen of the universe

[HildeAnnLynn]

[turkmaester]

Free Christian Joy

[itsallboutme100]

some people are mad karen o is the hottest bird on the earth shes just so cool and talented. the screams are what the yeah yeah yeahs are all about this is why there such a great live band i love karen o

[LunaticCalm]

Hehe I love the stepdancing shit she does, and she's ALWAYS smiling. This is what they live for, that much is for sure.

[JHCBMD2008]

I love YYY. But the incoherent screams are not so hot. And she looks not so good in this vid. Her voice is amazing, though.

[georgemasiello]

She's got the "IT" factor for sure!!!

[BoryCohn]

damn, shes such a babe. theres just something about her that makes her awesome.

[iJasper]

just been to the vienna-gig tonight!

short but perfect!

[DjFrizzle]

I swear...it's the way she moans/scream...lol.

-FRizZ

[Megyez]

i love the band, but this vocals are terrible

[crayonmorado]

WHAT??!!!!!! then you don´t understand the band.

[SMITHWAYNE100]

BRILLIANT

[MusicallyPierced]

*Were

[tsallen10]

I'm usually not this critical of bands, even if they suck... but YYY's suck soooo bad, somebody has to say it out loud. C'mon,this band is NOT talented. The guitar player is retarded. He can't even PLAY! Jesus! & that bitch needs a tranquilizer-dart in the neck to stop her from shrieking. Stop the shrieking. Stop playing your gtr. like a 2 yr. old. Stop the mediocrity,NOW. Nothing but a big ol' dose of super-suck.

[xXDaleyboiXx]

Oh and by the way... Just because you havnt heard of the bands and singers I listen to doesnt mean their shit... Most of the mainstream stuff people seem to think is good is actually total shit mate:)

[ImpatientLime]

mate. you got playlists dedicated to ash, goo goo dolls and incubus. mainstream, middle of the road shite. get over yourself.

[trandojedi]

man this is terrible. got no melodies or anything... and she looks like weird. that why like britney so good. she looks good and like she has melodiesa nd good beats.

[Michael5678]

this is rock music, you can't compare Britney to this. or anything, really.

[xXDaleyboiXx]

Well then, what the fuck are you watching the video for then? I know, 'cause your a completely sad cunt who has nothing better to do:)

[trandojedi]

hey. you have got weird music taste. ilook @ your profile.. ihaven't herd of any of those music names, so they must be shit. learn to like good music before u comment.

[xXDaleyboiXx]

I listen to music for alot of different reasons mate... Just 'cause I dont like any of that shite like the Jonas brothers doesnt mean I have a weird taste in music. Do us all a favour and fuck off back where you came from bud! No-one wants your shitty views on music.

[rottenenglish]

" ihaven't herd of any of those music names, so they must be shit " thats crazy dude, so im guessing your assuming you know all the music thats not shit out there or your saying that if a band isnt well-know they suck,,,wow,thats pretty false man

[MusicallyPierced]

Maybe it's awesome music people such as yourself don't appreciate.

[trandojedi]

it's just these ppl look so weird and different. and she screaming. it sounds really bad. i don't know how you ppl don't understand :S

[MusicallyPierced]

I'm just wondering. Where you looking for music like this to rudely comment on or what? I don't look up music I don't like so, yeah? What?

I'm just wondering. why does your milk come in bags?
