Less Than Jake - The science of selling yourself short LIVE

[insertnamehere284]

Roger has such a unique voice, it makes his songs really hard to sing, but man is it a great voice

[Ogkush669]

Reel Big Fish are the ska masters!



[MrDahPilot]

240p, we meet again.

[mrbobhead123]

[ANorthernParadise]

I love this song. What kind of Bass is he playing? I notice it used in a lot of ska bands.

[FuckMagicification]

[HRRyan2]

I wish they played it a little slower, like the recording

[ZYGOj]

[chunkyluver31]

@Pogokoala That always makes me happy too, because that's what I'm trying to be as a musician. =)

[thestarwarsaddict]

the best live version of this song

[2XWAsPhoenix]

chris has no enthusiasm in this video,but this was also the song that got me into ska.also they put on one of the best shows ive ever seen before

[erikdiaz111]

@2XWAsPhoenix this song really isnt an enthusiastic one so i guess thats why

[clingingtowhat]

I saw these guys 3 times at the house of blues in N'awlins. I still have the mini cd and a duncan ltj yo-yo i bought there i bet its worth somethin

[ps3darkjedi]

I REally Like This Song

Less than Jake The Best Ska Punk

[rocketboy375]

this song got me listening to ska, along with superman by goldfinger

[OutBack206]

@rocketboy375 TOTALLY agree with you, brother!

[riff140]

God damn why does he always sweat

so much? Sweaty bastard. But man he

can sing a good song

[bigredd234566]

@riff140 hahaha

[bruiser8604]

anybody think it sounds like they're having trouble with the timing? its not bad but it sounds like they're speeding up and slowing down a lot

[jamahl]

@bruiser8604 yep true

[OutBack206]

@bruiser8604 It's ska bra. Gotta let it flow like the ocean. In, then back Out.

[Xeltosxx]

@bruiser8604

That's not them, it's whoever recorded it with their vcr, the tape is skipping and slowing down randomly.

[rancid1987]

omg...great vocal harmonies...great band :D

[blitzingthunder097]

great song love the sax

[SlipperyNipplery]

This is the song that made me start listening to ska

[rocketboy375]

@SlipperyNipplery same C:

[RATM3501]

@SlipperyNipplery same here, first ltj song ive ever heard, still my favorite song by them and my favorite ska band

[Hellojake25]

@SlipperyNipplery

Same here buddy

[JohnnyQBlaze]

@SlipperyNipplery you barely made it, this is one of the best from the end of a great era, ofc there is no reason not to enjoy all the best of ska at any time!

[fingernfrets]

@SlipperyNipplery listen to a band Catch 22

[musicalpony]

God damn they are sooo much better live =D

[seahawksfan809]

wow, a little trouble with the note at 1:22.....otherwise great song

[CraigPlaysGuitar]

I think he may have been doing that on purpose.

[FpsMuch]

you kidding me? he hit that note perfectly.

[c22jmcken]

you try hitting that note

[jamahl]

@c22jmcken just tried it and succeeded ;) but its hard

[romeoandjuliet1968]

Wow...my dad told me his friend got famous with his band Less than Jake. I didn't know they were a real band...wow. He says they went to Port Charlotte High School together. Haha I don't really care. Their music is okay, but I like Sublime better :)

[punkistafemme]

one of my fave songs from ltj

[dcbskate08]

i love the base`s voice

[GodofTrombones]

Roger's voice is one of my favorites. Ironic how he's an Alto/Tenor and he plays Bass :)

[hgeyer99]

his name is Roger

[algokorto]

lov this song... is amazing!

this is my life T_T

[ILikeTrtlz]

he's so sweaty!!

[SixStringsXXX]

i'm in love

[shallowANDpodantic]

i love the stacotto esc sound the horns get on everything they do.

[epyonblitz]

roger did a terrible job singing this

[cococrisp20]

ahahaha at 1:26

[CGL2Director]

Is his sax black or purple?

[physcodevil]

that is deffinatley a purple sax =D

[CGL2Director]

that is pure awesome.

[Buckeyefan86]

I think just the bell is purple...he probably spray painted it

[Massacre430]

buckeye, i can gurantee you it's not spray painted, it's a finish

[Massacre430]

and the whole thing is purple, as seen at 2:10, quit being an idiot buckeye

[neurocytohemotoxic]

I love this song. They played it when I saw them at warped tour.

[greyelf437]

what is the sound around 0:05 to 0:06?

[300hotboy]

probably the amplifier

[CGL2Director]

I think someone talking in the audience.

[Guitarhero9901]

Feedback?

[zena805]

I have no idea why some people waste their time commenting on how much one band sucks and another band is better and then they try to "convert" them into listening to another band. Not everybody will agree on the same things, and music is nothing without diversity. So, if you don't like some music, appreciate that you have contrast for music you DO like. Just saying.

[lobo1624]

@zena805 Very eloquently stated

[jrack13]

@zena805 hey i dont know much about LTJ but why is the bassist taking over with his gay voice, while chris sounds much better.

[liverpoolcorpse]

how about a new zealand show boys. u kno that country past those austrialian cunts. yankies look up the some nz music like the black seeds,katchafire,kora, its good shit

[fatticus123]

i saw them live yesterday at warped and they were my favorite out of every band that i saw. if you saw that you wouldnt think they sucked live

[noahparachute]

yeah this is soo old

[sweetsexypsycho69]

Hey ppl, every band has their off days, even tho its rough, they still rock, they cant be perfect all the time but they do it live non the less! Bloody good on em i say, shows us that even LTJ can have their moments, jus like he rest of us. Still an excellent tune, especially with its flaws :)

[tringwiinzii42]

they sound like shit live. i used to like them but after seeing this video....just WHAT THE FUCK??

[NalydortheGreat]

most bands do. These guys actually sound better than most bands live.

[greyelf437]

See them live. Like actually go to a show. It's better, I promise. See if warped tour is coming anywhere near you, they're traveling with that for a while still.

[armswing]

sax player needs a bigger shirt

[Ervinson1823]

wTF?

[jacoboscar79]

bad ass live band.. love them!!

[RATM3501]

i love this band they are so good live. ltj and ratm gotta be 2 of the best bands live

[Joeybugman]

their best song. Hands down..well, in my opinion but I also loooove devil in my dna

[iamcairnsy]

sounds soo good live...unlike most bands

[tekitas]

[metalmusiking]

[jRocksteady01]

[iamcairnsy]

yeah

[SixStringsXXX]

[SixStringsXXX]

[pitinxito]

[jaishalattacks]

[ayynkayyproductions]

[Filipedassoler]

14935

[tinahungria]

Rogeeer  \o/

[kamilopunkrock]

ya kasi los vere en bogota, tanto tiempo esperando, x fin :)

[Sk8teThe904]

who gives a shit about his hair less than jake is one of the best bands. yall to worried about a guys hair queers

[Ervinson1823]

who the fuck is ironslad?what the name.. hey faggot, check first the band before saying shit like that, IRonlad nyahaha

[Domizeck]

shut up indie sucker...

[Ironslad1985]

What sort of "punk" band has a singer with dread locks!!!!!? I like how they try to legitimise themselves by having Buzzcocks and Ramone's posters in the background...wankers.

[NcDinesenghgh]

Perhaps a 'Ska Punk' band?

[nolukazfx]

you are an asshole, those arent THEIR posters. besides, if you think dreadlocks and punk doesnt mix, you should check a little band called BAD BRAINS. wanker

[guitaraddict14]

Bad Brains own man

[nibo1980y]

yes they do

[DrumsAndGunshots]

you're such an ignoratnt fag

[johrnberger]

not defending ironslad hes a douche, but there is something ironic about calling someone an ignorant fag.

[shalloworpodantic]

thats very true

[musicalpony]

agreed

[skotty92]

+1

I find it distracting that he posted THIS comment to THIS song because it´s one of the most reggae-influenced songs they have to offer...

And I love dreadlocks, they look awesome xD

[03romanoa]

wat is it with u people and the word douche???

its the shittist insult in the world and makes you sound like a spade

[skankidd]

wat is it with you people and the word spade???

its the shittist insult in the world and makes you sound like a fucking idiot

an insult is an insult

[03romanoa]

m8 wat r u like 10?

a crappy insult is likley to get you laughed at rather than any desired effect

fukking yank...

[skankidd]

i guess your the only one laughing

[skankidd]

i reckon;]

[skankidd]

i guess.......if thats what you want to hear

[jmasterdude89]

why do you automatically resort to calling the person a yank, just because you're in an argument with them? you obviously are prejudiced beyond normalcy

[jmasterdude89]

haha nope.

normalcy = condition or state of being normal

normality = a standard

you, my foolish foreign friend, are wrong.

[heyho007]

they are ska punk.....it doesn't matter what u look like.

[jeebusmcgee]

u useless cunt, genres are no longer defined by look more by style and sound as it should be. Unless ur 1 of the cunts who think that cos you dress or look a certain way u have to lyk a certain type of music...wanker.

[cuttingedge39]

I think Ironslad is on to something here. The guy's hairdo is totally wack for the style of music they are playing.

[OurGodReignsSupreme]

uhh what about strike anywhere dumbass

[1317west]

hey ironslad1985, you know this is a ska punk band correct? well if you would pull your ignorent head out of your ass and realize what ska music, you might understand what the sread licks signifye...do you know where ska orriginated.....fucking Jamaica, you are a dip shit...

[DrumsAndGunshots]

thank you!

[pwnageprata]

roger is awesome, he has such charisma

[wwise87]

Love this song! Just saw these guys last night.

[inkypinkystick]
