Kasabian "Empire" Live On David Letterman 19/09/06

[Alligatorfitness]

BRMC and Oasis are on the related videos...there is a god

[JakSmiley1]

@TicTacJoe134 lol this is the first time I've heard it pronounced, but I imagined it more like Kaz-a-bi-an

[Gigimolly11]

I saw them two months ago :D I never knew they went to the U.S. :O

Brilliant band. Local to me, so it proves that we have talent! :D

[SuperNmat]

They need to come back to the us!

[TicTacJoe134]

Upon seeing the word Kasabian for the first time, I don't think many people pronounce it right. I was a casa-'bee-en pronouncer until I saw an interview with Tom and he said Kasabian.

[ravedooney]

GREAT SONG

[zaidabanksnyc]

Kasabian ♥

[neiltay2002]

Leicester boys done good. Proud of you.

[Ebbs1204]

Kasabian are absolutely fantastic....I wasn't sure if they could sing and play like their albums live, but God, they can! Definitely getting their album......I do not approve of their use of bad language though :D nah, I love them!

[uani69]

Oasis are shit, kasabian rock fuck the gallaghers

[nobbiedog]

this is just too good,we should bottle them and send em into space..let the aliens know what planet earth is here for..to be amazing motherfuckers

[TristanDesnos]

@nobbiedog LOL! Fucking awesome comment!

[malonelivesXD]

@nobbiedog man if you send them then i must go too!

[oscarnswe]

Serge´s hat is awesome!

[Beekay2002]

FUCK OASIS. BUNCH OF WANKS!

KASABIAN HAVE IT GOING ON!

So much better it isn't funny, and I couldn't give a shite if Oasis were an influence, I'm sure the Beatles were as well...

[batrama310]

The same stage the beatles performed on when they first came to U.S.

[MassaDayLewis]

how tall is that gentleman wiht the hat?

=)

he almost doesn´t fit on the screen.

holly crap!

[teddyhart4life]

big sergio pizzorno! hes awesome, and yeah hes about my height, 6ft 4-ish

[ramonesdude93]

KASABIAN KICK ASS XD

[unchie979]

why does everybody compare this band to oasis?

[Zivkan]

I don't understand that neither, they're so different. The stage presence, the songs, their attitudes. Still great bands though, both of them.

[antz2707]

because they are apparently similar plus if it werent for oasis kasabian wouldnt probably exist

[RizoSaysAha]

@antz2707 if it weren't for Stone Roses Oasis probably wouldn't even existed.

[afireinside0]

@unchie979 'cause wikipedia says that they are influenced by Oasis

i also get confused reading the word "oasis" in every single page of comments of all Kasabian videos...

[aslanlight]

Better than Oasis!

[wylwrk]

@aslanlight  ... wtf? You kidding?

[TheMrbollox]

@aslanlight

lol fuck off are they better than Oasis

they're a good band, leave it at that.

[Ivanovich18]

Man, they ARE the succesors of Oasis

[sevensorrows]

damn i never knew how awesome kasabian were till now their music is amazing i think ill buy all their albums

[malismad]

I envy you.

[rowson88]

Good choice!

[Ivanovich18]

Same to me, thanks to Oasisss

[fondoogle]

Leicester on tour.

[muscle123museum]

drums at 1:31 sound superb..

[MusicalElitist1]

Ian Matthews is an amazing drummer.

[razmus1995]

i totaly agree he is amazing live you dont really get a fell 4 how good he is listening to the album.

[Scarletbull]

This song rocks!

[gooner4lyf2007]

Empire is a better album than the first one as that one has some banging tunes but just experimental cos of when they first came out.

[andrew406]

bollocks man 1st album was a classic there newest 1 west ryder is a classic 2 but 1st 1 just edges it 4 me but there alll good albums best band since oasis

[sevensorrows]

dude i totally agree with your statement by far the best band since oasis

[lambie1985]

Sergio Pizzorno = legend

[SalvadorePapadello]

@lambie1985 hes tall

[headofwords]

That's a cracking keyboard hook they've got there. Saying that, this song aside I didn't like the second album as much as the first, which was just awesome.

[CastawayOfficial]

AMAZING!!

[evolved77]

Ooooooshhhhhhh!!

[rockthecasbah92]

coldplay just sucks period

[harryspoonpotter]

blatantly not true, and i don't even like them.

[711377]

u know there good when letterman goes over to talk to them. fucking good band

[archerisgod]

Kasabian are fucking immense

[manabityann]

ｍステにでてくださいｗｗ

[yongmincho92]

this songs so cooool

damnn im seeing them next month

koreaa baby

[tomsega]

It's always a terrible thing when it appears as though the performers are enjoying themselves more than the audience. I'm all for them standing around and concentrating on the art.

[Rockferry2008]

very best live act

[Jonn3782001]

They don't need to dance around. There's no room for a start. They've taken a leaf out of Oasis' book and just got the music to carry them. And it works.

[MrBowie]

You having a laugh!?!? Kasabian's 2 albums are far better than anything Oasis serial rip off merchants have produced since Morning Glory! Oasis are quite possibly the most overrated thing since The Rolling Stones

[Jonn3782001]

Haha sorry, but I saw in an interview, I think it was at the Brits, I could be wrong that their favourite albums were Definatley Maybe and The Stone Roses, and they've said that they tried to start where they left off. Agree with the overated business though.

[Rockferry2008]

no Coldplay are the most overrated band

[troykeenanguitar]

i agree with rockferry

[nickdc1]

the 3rd and 4th albums anyway...

[jvias01]

wooow... awesome performance

[Soaloneithurts]

omg this is pathetic!! Where is the enthusiasm, they just stand there playing, it's so boring to watch not to mention they sound horrible!

[ModernHeresay]

I worked in the crew for that show. Some guy came out and told em to keep the show calm.... bit shit, but there ya go

[danzorezno]

Soaloneithurts.. i'd like to see you try sing that!! kasabian are unique and bloody brilliant!!!

[goomagoo]

Just because they're not jumping around like some generic American "punk" band doesn't make them boring in my opinion. They actually have layers of sound. What a concept!

[fizzb100]

It's not fucking rhianna! Do you expect to see intricate dance moves or something, cos it's not gonna happen

[HarrisY]

Seriously... I love the tremolo picking he does with the guitar live... unfortunately it's not on the album version.

[MRBLuD]

Holy Shit....they sound better live than on the album......

[pablodellic]

amazing !

[wastelandhrtandsoul]

i'd think they'd refer to themselves as rock. in fact, they have. rock is good, it's only an insult when it's used to label bands like mcr & linkin park.

[fantasyclonedsoundz]

Top London Band called Envisage now on myspace and You Tube. If you like rock n roll, ave a listen and let us know what you think:

Do we rock or do we rock?

Envisage. Cheers. Appy New Year.

[paulmorris2]

you're shit

[fantasyclonedsoundz]

Nah sorry Paulmorris2. Your a shit cunt

[paulmorris2]

cheers mate!

[fantasyclonedsoundz]

No worries, make sure you buy the album too and the DVD and the the Book. Cheers Paulmorris2.

[paulmorris2]

Haha

[Kazuri666]

Brilliant

[BackRockDelta]

It's music, it's all good who cares what it's labelled as

[bombshell1990]

wicked song,

d,kno who mixed this setup tho, it needs to be heavier and less treble on the bass. doesn't do justice to the and's genious

[strawberryfields88]

come on guys since when did rock and roll become an insult? they're great either way!

[kieranhuntley999]

id call them rock and roll! i dont think theyd take any offence. they are an alternative, but still rock and roll

[DeltaX01]

tubepaulatube Kasbian is designated as an Indie and Alternative rock band. Definately not rock and roll as this prat put it lol.

[paulmorris2]

fuck off for fuck sakes, I'm sure Kasabian would hate to be labled fucking indie, they are rock n roll! Come off it man, rock n roll as this prat put it? Stupidist thing i've ever heard.

[JasonNixo]

Paul's right - That's Rock n' Fucking Roll.

[nufc86]

listen 2 club foot n then tell me there not rock n roll!!!

[Jackamole]

"Kasabian IS here"? Shouldnt that be "Kasabian are here"? Its not an object. Fool. Learn to grammar

[diekontrolleure]

since kasabian is an armenian singular word its correct.

[winarc505]

also, in america, a band is referred to in the singular unless its a plural name like "the beatles". so it would be "Oasis is here" not "Oasis are here" like we are used to hearing

[Keanuette2]

[tubepaulatube]

[wilsybhoy]

the genre is the best band in the world genre haha only joking i would say indie rock and roll

[Shanex36]

[regency08]

[palfguy]

is letterman pronouncing it right?

i've always said it like "casa bee on"

[delbongo]

Letterman was correct!

[palfguy]

aw well, i'll stick to my pronunciation.  i like it much better.

[monkeypoo1]

Casa-bee-on? haha, naa mate it sounds like a rural spanish village.

[AussieYobbo]

its pronounced ka-say-be-in

[g1982m]

Its pronounced ka-say-be-an

[biohazardus1]

i really like kasabian and especially that song but the drumming sounds very weak in the chorus in that show??

[pamo34]

The singer is not hot, I'm hot

[EditorsFan]
