[XXmynameisliamXX]

itch's best one is the last of the dreamers i love it and what if punk never happened... which is sorta poetry

[timtomkye]

Thanks -.-

[timtomkye]

What poem is this I want to learn it xxxxx

[emthedrummer]

@timtomkye It's by Byron and I think it's called So We'll Go No A-Roving.

[emthedrummer]

@emthedrummer No More A-Roving.

[cfcolly]

[azrielbaker]

I LOVE ITCH

[vegantriksta]

forget lord byron, itch is the new lord and king... the king is dead. long live the king blues :)

[Jdec750]

<3 sick cunt.



[coheedcambria87]

This is amazing..

[oldane1]

lets be honest ....itch is Byron reincarnated

[sallyspaz]

@xmanningx I was at the Sheffield gig, and the only bouncers that where there where the ones that are always at Corp. They weren't hired just for the gig. X

[KingBeowulf]

I fell in love with this poem while reading "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury.

This version, this treatment, is absolutely exquisite. To The King Blues!

[stuboy19]

crrrrrrrrrrrringe

[vegantriksta]

yeah, you can tell that itch never did write this poem cos his poetry is a lot better than byron's. :)

[cfcolly]

@vegantriksta ...

[rummy987]

wtf

[punk98]

"an error occurred, please try again later."

i've refreshed 5 times, sort it out bbc.

[ukesiscute]

bloody hell can't believe i never found this! itch brings sincerity to whatever he does, f*kin great, he owned it

[robtherub]

amazing video, is the lyric lord byron? or itch?

[gusbus12345678]

byron, but itch is just as good!

[robtherub]

itch is better, lord byron was a fairly mediocre upper class romantic poet who got the reputation more through who he shagged than his lyrics... itch does him a favour here, makes him sound better than he is

[Katrinastarx]

I LOVE THE KING BLUES <3

xxooxxx

[dizzydizzydaisy]

legend songs, legend lyrics.....

the more people who know the king blues, the better!

keep it up guys xxxx

[SpLiiTScReeNJacK]

Itch is Sick

[xmanningx]

when they played sheffield they had bouncers to protect them thats not punk

[arghwhyalltaken]

WTF, i got headbutted at the damned for liking slipknot. so you just ultimately convinced me that all punks have a chip on there shoulder about what the genre of punk should conform to, besides they are punk reggae

[greatstefano123]

Hey is this joe! whoooo I can see your comment!

[devonsurf]

wow must be great to be as punk as you....

[Gransistor]

NOBODY had heard of King Blues EVER, and they got to play lots of festivals, and now loadsa people know them. And so people should, Itch is a fuckign great poet :)

[vincent0176]

my new favourite poem, hit me square in the chest

[KingBeowulf]

It would be difficult to get better and or deeper than this.

Sends me straight to the Martian Chronicles.

Well done.

[012kieran]

they are gunna be big , trust !

[vincent0176]

ask around, they already are haha

they deserve it an' all

[No1cocacolalover]

Going to see king blues in october :)

[mju141]

WHERE??? i want togo to the notts gig but dont wanna go on my own :(

[decap88]

It's called success. A good band is getting more fans and spreading their message. If these Indie kids are trend following then they'll be gone soon so you have nothing to worry about. Besides, part of Itch's message is that it doesn't matter what taste, style or look you have. So why would it matter if they hop on the bandwagon? Let them up, make them feel welcome and long may this wagon roll on.

[Harleyyxo]

i really hope they don't get masssively huge, i think they're whole purpose will be completely snubbed if they get placed with some Arctic Monkey persona. Plus, listening to them in an arena would be such a waste.Long live Itch (L)

[woodyboy909]

of course pop punk aint dead, it was never alive to begin with.

[SamBoom123]

hahaha get in!

[stuboy19]

So has this been aired on the telly?

Lord Byron is the person who wrote the poem.

[theguywiththeband]

Quality band and a great poem!

[curlysworld]

Absolutely great video. I agree Itch is an amazing poet/performer. i love "What If Punk Never Happened" and "5 Bottles Of Shampoo" (heard that one at their latest gig...freakin sweet!)

[curlysworld]

Hiya, I saw the guys perform 11th May at the Strathclyde Student Union in Glasgow. I only knew about it because I saw them at the Glasgow Barfly in February and got put on their mailing list. Hope that helps! Cheerio! Luv Kx

[greenday2008rules]

[ngregory89]

You do all know that itch didn't write this poem right?

It was written a little while ago by lord Byron.

I agree with what your saying however. . .sweet video

[angelicdevil6]

Only over 150 years! :)

[Pjam2006]

[UltraVultureKangaroo]
