CAKE - Carbon Monoxide and Never There (Live)

[JohnnieNaked]

That crowd doesn't deserve them imo.

[ComicsAndCigarettes]

I wish I could've been there, just so I could be the only person jumping around having the time of my life. :)

[brosssoul]

which album is carbon monoxide off of?

[STPheartsUnderused]

what a shitty crowd

[theDragonaut]

like shit, you can tell that these people just have bad souls. what an awful band. there is 100% nothing interesting or exciting about them.

[Crizel81]

@theDragonaut fag

[Awesomeman37]

@theDragonaut ಠ_ಠ I hate you.

[Arastophes]

John said his favorite singer is Frank Sinatra.

I find that interesting...

Nevertheless, CAKE rules.

[paule720]

@theDragonaut GTFO. CAKE kicks ass.

[kennoba123]

who put thumbs down for this is a cock sucker and shouldnt even come watch the video..

[theDragonaut]

cake fucking sucks

[cman0016]

@theDragonaut theDragonaut fucking sucks

[bailesie]

@theDragonaut

Speaking of sucks, tell your mom 'thanks'!

[theguywhowatchmovies]

@bailesie well played sir, well played... clearly "thedragonaut" is a douche

[theguywhowatchmovies]

@theDragonaut pardon me "bailsesie" but, speaking of sucks, say Hi to your mom for me!

[Dillbob1]

i like how you have almost every live performance of them ever

[william60181]

I actually in joy cake so much because of the way he sings lol I love how he's not an amazing singer and sounds as if he"s just talking it goes perfect with the music

[xphoenixdownx]

so what if he's not the best singer in the world, he's a hipster, it's all about the delivery. there arent enough hipsters left in modern music, it's just him and beck.

[killianH]

never there, epic.

[from0unda0cheese69]

my moms guitarist know the band. he is good friends with the guitarist in the band and is always taunting me about how they used to always play together. i've been listening to cake since i was 2, parents have good taste.

[seniorpantos]

Lame crowd-Best band! fucken CAKE fucken Rule

[hobgoblinlkjfdsa]

@seniorpantos The reason you can't hear audience is because it was recorded for TV. They filter out the crowd noise.

[Bawdyknocker]

@hobgoblinlkjfdsa well, that may be, but I mean...look at em... that crowd is totally dead. Maybe a head bobble every once in a while - other than that, totally lifeless - moreso than zombies

[secretagentmann9]

@Bawdyknocker perhaps they are zombies? what if this is an necromancer ceremony, and CAKE is finally letting us into their plan to take over the world through song...

[wookanator]

wheres the air, wheres the air..."coming from your lungs crowd your supposed to be cheering"

[Charliemim]

Did this make anyone else think of the Southpark episode with the hippies? The one that parodies "The Core". Yeah. I'm waiting for that machine the dude from "Crooklyn" built to come grinding through. Any minute now...

[Charliemim]

The dude's voice encompasses every voice used to sway your opinion or sooth your delicate nerves. Sportscaster, anchorman, clergy, therapist, oh, and singer. His voice has all of the pleasing qualities common to any audio-based medium. It goes a step further, becoming something unique and downright mesmerizing. Basically... KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER

[Charliemim]

CAKE needs to keep GWAR backstage, just in case they get an audience like this.

[ninimama]

i know most of you won't agree with me when i say this, but i think that CAKE are the American Radiohead. Not copying them or anything, just they both use all sorts of instruments, sort of a gloomy sound, the themes they approach. i love them both.

[Charliemim]

@ninimama So CAKE is like The Monkeys to you. I agree that there should be a television show based on CAKE's adventures.

[razielgrunge]

Se fosse eu na platéia,não ia ficar parado '-'

[kagaingas]

chasing windmills

[nergnog]

This crowd obviously felt very disappointed. They came all this way to see cake and there wasn't even any icing.

[Charliemim]

@nergnog Oh, there was some icing. They all appear to be frozen. >:P

[nergnog]

@Charliemim How right you are.

[shooterandwinniesmom]

Ok, I would be rocking the f out, why aren't these people dancing, man? Why didn't they play this at the Fillmore??? My life will never be fulfilled...

[villabeela]

I love this song!!!!

[mtoolin]

Is this from a DVD?

[zosolemos]

Never There sounds so fucking cool

[Pepperfan91]

The sound of the snare drum is very cool.

[wickydot]

wtf it's amazing

[cronosbray]

Where's the Air?

[bigligg67]

carbon monoxide sucks CAKE does not

[SONoOFoLIQUID]

yeah it's not exactly there style or the reason i listen to them

[naaf89]

Does anyone know how McCrea gets that tone on his guitar?

[eddszakal]

No bass no middle and i think its horribly miked on purpose too. In fact it's probably a bad guitar on purpose too!

[shwabity]

lots of mid and treble, its miced improperly, and the guitar is super old. in an interview he said hes had it since he was 14, and doesnt remember the last time he changed the strings lol

[tikozero]

Never there is such an awasome song =]

[doisneau]

CAKE = inevitable obsession

[bostonairforce]

The best band out there need i say more

[mikemc0420]

his singing style is sometimes called "Sprechgesang"... obviously German- it's kind of a mix between talking and singing... there's an interesting wiki entry on it

[kubrocker]

that crowd is lame

dont they realize theyre watching CAKE!?

[marciocabezas]

hahah so true!

[shwabity]

exactly

dude, cake doesnt warrant jumping around. at least, not to me. I find it tough not to stare in awe and its almost nearly impossible for me to suppress tears at the end of some songs (namely Frank Sinatra and Sheep go To Heaven for example)

they are screaming and shouting the lyrics. i would be singing too.

[pordoklani1]

they are all so fucking cool...and they wrote good music

[dlix13felix]

this is so sick! my mom used to listen to these guys when i was younger. now im 17 and starting to become obsessed. These live videos are just amazing.

[Lin3freak]

I'm obsessed too! I also love these videos!

[griskrossaren]

cool mom

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

Mcrea's use of 'speech' is really interesting... my older cousin is planning to writing about it in her next term paper (she's studying musicology)

[fuff24]

Mcrea (the singer) can most definetly sing. he just has a unique tone. Listen to "Mexico" "shadow stabbing" or "wheels" to hear him sing.

[patrick0189]

wow this is great

[steverliu]

where can i buy the dvd?

[chinoichiro]

my step dad has a dvd of this same concert...

[satorres82]

Great band. To bad the singer is so totally tone deaf.

[cfriend2005]

wooo you must be 9870987289x better. post ur vid, big shot. (also this band is amazing. gooo cake!!!).

[satorres82]

Yes, I agree. Amazing band. Almost has it all. Great grooves, fantastic lyrics... the singer just has very limited range and also sounds tone deaf. Never said I was better, guy.

[thekidwiththefa]

Tone deaf? Maybe he's monotone, but I'm pretty sure he hits his notes dead on. The delivery is rather unique and makes him seem as if he's not all too talented at singing, but he damn well hits the notes in terms of pitch. As for how high he can go, just check out the vid of him singing "Wheels" on Jimmy Kimmel live. Fairly impressive.

[MusicIan423]

finally, thekidwiththefa knows what he's talking about

[thekidwiththefa]

Well, it seems as if half the userbase of youtube that watches live concert videos has no knowledge of music in general, so it ends up lying upon a certain few to correct them.

[Dillbob1]

@thekidwiththefa same with "jesus wrote a blank check" at the end

[alritza]

love that calculator watch

[jiajia2091]

i love John McCrea.. I LOVE IT when he says 'hey'. hot...

[jam2maniac]

If you're a Cake fan, please contact me!...xoxoxo

[jiajia2091]

i'm a total cake fan jam2!!!

[jam2maniac]

Great my friend! I'm a great Cake fan too, so how d'you interpret "Sheep Go To Heaven"? Seems like everyone owns his own opinion on this song.. Just comment this vid and I'll try to answer you... See you!...

[thekidwiththefa]

Just check out the wikipedia.

And on this video, the fade in at 1:33 is freaking amazing.

[jam2maniac]

In the vocals...

[thekidwiththefa]

I was talking about the vocals.

[jam2maniac]

Right.

[alohasteve]

Cake is a Sacramento treasure. They are great live!

[MightyDucksGrl]

Do they have an actual music video to this song?

[jam2maniac]

I don't think so. Just think of the text, it's about pollution.

[1234321k]

omg they are amazing.

[TheaterOfTheWordInc]

fucking censorship

[TyLovesAGirl]

Stupid crowd not singing at 2:40

[jam2maniac]

John Mac Crea is kick ass!

[casp3r20]

This is perfect

[fathead3381]

Never there is so damn good

[jam2maniac]

It's a kick-ass song!...

[bwhocutt]

wasn't my favorite song either.....

Then I heard it live in SC....

Awesome!!!!

[jam2maniac]

I sang it in a small concert in Paris with friends, and guess what? I was looked like John Mac Crea!... LOL!...

[mlamaniac]

As a serious cyclist I can relate to this and the song rings in my head when I ride

[remembermorrison]

Cake is my favorite band, but strangely carbon monoxide is the only song I don't like by cake. Shame.

[jam2maniac]

Why? It sounds really good!...

[remembermorrison]

It does, just not feeling it.

[mitre51]

this guy is the patron saint of ambiguity... love it

[jam2maniac]

Got his 6 CD's...

[raskolnikoffh]

CARBON MONOXIDEEE FOR MEEE TO BEEEAAARRR,It soog is very cool =D,Cake ruleeees carbon monoxide and Take it all away !

[jam2maniac]

I think John Mac Crea was a bit depressed when he wrote "Take It All Away",as many artists,noticely after the events of September 9/11 in New York,but he recovered,and 2007's "B-Sides and Rarities" is really cool...I think there's hope for the future,because you know,I don't believe in "The end of the world" and all that crap...

[lFilmstudiesl]

the sound levels were like perfect for this show. way groovy.

[jam2maniac]

Never there...You're EVER there!...

[laynerestsinpeace]

this cake is delicious!

[jam2maniac]

June 28, 2:25 a.m. :the audience enjoyed the show,but I'd had lunch only one hour before, so it made singing quite difficult...You can't sing with a full stomac!... Nevermind,they liked it, that's the most important!...

[jam2maniac]

June 25,11:19 p.m.:worked "Carbon Monoxide" cover out for 45 minutes.Ready for tomorrow's show...

[renoboy666]

Fantastic clip of Cake live. They're tight!

[jam2maniac]

Quite ready for June 26's concert...

[Khalib]

Hey look! It's my favorite Cake drummer! None other than the legendary Paulo Baldi from The Les Claypool Frog Brigade and The Fancy Band!

[skankidd]

cake goes smooth man the food and the band man:D they look and sound how they play the have there own CAKE genre and its BEAUTIFUL idont know about you but this dosent look like a boring concert it looks like a kick back,listening to good ol ROCK n ROLL if i was there right there iLL be sittin right there eating sum choclate cake,listening to the BEST band EVER!! :D or jumping up and down moving my head!! CAKE!!!!!:D

[arowupthebut]

haha im eating chocolate cake right now :o

[jam2maniac]

Haha what a sense of humor!...Have fun!...

[TekmonkieX]

Cake has many good songs even though they are out of my genre, but really though... what a boring ass concert. Seriously.

[wereallidiots]

f**kin' sick!

[beneubauer]

wat ever u think i think cake is da shit--zoo

[DEMONIIIK]

1.58 - That was a funny arm movement xD

[jam2maniac]

"car after bus after car after trucks after this my lungs will be so f****d up..."...In fact he stays polite on public! Not on the album version! So I agree with you DEMONIIIK...

[jam2maniac]

I adore John Mac Crea...His texts are elaborated and as an "amateur" (that is to say "non-professionnal") singer I love what he does...Here's my "private" compilation: 1.Wheels (cover with the homeless finding a telephone) 2.Carbon Monoxide and Never There (Live) 3.Short Skirt/Long Jacket (Interview) 4.Long Line Of Cars 5.Love You Madly 6.Satan Is My Motor 7.You Turn The Screws 8.Walk On By 9.Sheep Go To Heaven 10.Hem Of Your Garment 11.Let Me Go (Manga Version) 12.War Pigs Have fun

[jam2maniac]

Gotta work it out for the concert next month...

[z3rok0]

[janegaspar]

holy schmuck this is cool! never heard them sing these before...

[brykidla]

Is this video available on DVD?

[jam2maniac]

So do I... I bought the same cap this morning!

[jam2maniac]

Moreover I got the same beard and the same shirt!...So that's real fun when I sing in my bedroom each weekend!...

[jam2maniac]

And I've weared a red cap too and sang that song today in company of my good friends at the end of the morning...

[KicksAreForTrids]

[RifleFetish]

Car after bus after car after truck after this my lungs will be so fucked up.

[AudunYT]

Stupid crowd at 2:40-42 not singing!

[RocketRacer]

i hate when crowds sing

[AudunYT]

Well when vocalists stop singing and hints to the crowd 'sing with me', they should sing xD

[karcherbiohazard]

simple...they dunno the lyric...lol

[KyOlar]

Did you hear that non-mechanical pan-out/in he just did!?!?!

1:27

[meddlejordison]

I gotta say that Cake and Clutch are the most original bands out there. They write the best music.

[ShadoTheBrainTheif]

primus...

[patwow]

Radiohead

[ShadoTheBrainTheif]

spongle

[ww3gecko]

Yah, these kids at school keep picking linkin park and other gay stuff or our video project, noone gives cake a chance

[stupidone0]

There was a song called Carbon Monoxide by a Regina Spektor, but this is a completely different song.

[patwow]

Who is Carbon Monoxide orginally by?

[BobFromReboot]

The song is originally by Cake... It's not a cover people.

[CarehMcCarehson]

Awesome.
