[SlymeGreen]

Oh, Conor. We listen to your music, fall in love with you, think you're a sensitive, vulnerable guy, but IT'S A TRAP! You can be such a moody douchebag sometimes... All the time... But now that you've won us over we can't help but love you. I guess that's what it's like to love a poet. <3 Conor Oberst forever; ego, assholery, and all. <3

[Floydthefuckbag]

Ha I remember this! so funny!

[EleanorRigby212]

[cubed04]

haha conor oberst is a angry lil bitch

[YoseMiteEmery]

@cubed04 how is he? you can't say you wouldn't be mad... a guy yelling freebird every fucking song..

[boredom974]

OH FUCK I WAS THERE

[ajay7536]

hey i mean shit, being CONOR OBERST..shit like that has got to get annoying..and who knows how his day way going atm..just another thing..people have there moments. the freebird guy obviously had his..

[AmericanEulogy07]

such a dick to his fans 

[Julietloves3]

at the concert i went to of him he got pissed at the guy yelling freebird too..it was priceless.

[ayeungturtle]

i've loved conor for so long, but he was a douche at this show. i was standing right next to the "freebird" guy who yelled it once....big fucking deal....and pompous conor, the guy who's always giving speeches about loving each other singles out and ridicules this guy MULTIPLE times throughout the show. fuck that...the worst part was that this "freebird" guy knew all the words to every fucking song conor sang. maybe conor was just having a bad day, but it sure as hell pissed me off.

[YoseMiteEmery]

@ayeungturtle thats an awesome story!

[mathewrodgersrocks]

Freebird... I play shows and I can't tell you how many times people yell that.. It's not even funny. I'll have to take a page from Conor's book on this one.

[ManyLanguagesofMe]

Like I Love Connor Oberst but I feel like he might be rude if I ever meet him lol But that won't stop me from loving his music!

[xoxEmilimilyxox]

This is glorious... That guy was out of line for yelling that. How disrespectful to Conor Oberst & his band. Seriously, "Freebird" guy came to see a Bright Eyes show not Lynrd Skynyrd. Jesus, some people need to grow the crap up. Good for Conor! That would've been so annoying. I can see why he got pissed.

[Frosstic]

conor is typically an asshole. a few of my friends that have met him say the same thing- that he was rude. that being said, i can't help but adore him and his passionate, meaningful lyrics. god damn it, conor.

[YoseMiteEmery]

@Frosstic he was really nice to me when I met him... so your friends must be lame and annoying.. conor is such a chill guy

[myconman95]

i yelled freebird at his show...and now i see this video...and now i feel like an idiot.

[kdkb3]

I would have yelled it again at the end in hopes of Conor beating the fuck out of me.

[justblaze412]

this was absoultely not in Boston. This was at Stage A.E in Pittsburgh on March 9th i was there and loving it

[qwertygrl31597]

hahhahahaha he did the same thing at the house of blues in this past august he was like "we should have a counter for how many times that joke's been used" ilovehim.

[Katharine777]

omg thats so mean! what does the joke even mean tho

[sumiiiiiiahx]

hahah i was there!



[Lyricz74]

even when he's mad he makes me smile, haha.

[OhKear]

i swear, if some douche decides to yell freebird when i see bright eyes in eight days, i'm going to knock them out.

[djkieri]

oh, excellent

[elisexo]

i'm not bashing this--i love conor,, but i dont really think george bush jokes are 'original' either and he sorta used one lol

[oooloovioo]

I was riiiiiiiight in front of Conor during this concert, and it was so intense, I loooove him<3 When he yelled at this guy it was hysterical. It happens to him a lot it seems?

[checkerboard96]

I dont know if yelling "FREEBIRD!!" at shows is somthings known and done alot but the first bright eyes show i went too a couple of months ago someone behind me was obnoxiously screaming freebird every minute...and im pretty shure this guys the same person.

[smish34]

It would be so great if the guy shouting it was Johnny Van Zant

[492903]

Bro, the same thing happened at Stage AE in Pittsburgh... well, similar

[7ren7rud7]

Same thing happened at the show in New York. I was like, STFU!

[checkerboard96]

@7ren7rud7 That guy was literally right behind me......

[skatinDan19]

please somebody tell me the song???

[theheadphoneheart]

@skatinDan19 It's Cartoon Blues (by Bright Eyes)

[iSmkoeBluntsToMyFace]

I was there. Like, right fucking in front of him. Cartoon blues was good, unexpected for sure.

[TheVictim714]

omg, this is soo funny, this is why i love conor. he is the best. thank you so much for posting this.

[TheVictim714]

omg, this is soo funny, this is why i love conor. he is the best.

[connelldan9]

Conor gets mad at the guy for drawing attention to himself. Just so he can get the attention and back to singing winey songs and complain about his own problems. Narcissist.

[DannyandtheBigBlue]

@connelldan9 Uhhh why'd you even look at this video if you're just gonna hate on Conor? Yes, he has attention on him, but it's for a reason other than screaming "FREEBIRD!!!" at the top of his lungs. I'm not sure you know what the term narcissist means.

[connelldan9]

@DannyandtheBigBlue Narcissism is the personality trait of egotism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others.

this guy has made a career of bitching about his problems as if he is the only one who has any-vanity

he then is a pretentious dick and tries to patronize the freebird guy, because he is so well versed "buddy"- elitism

just be happy

[DannyandtheBigBlue]

@connelldan9 Nice copy and paste. Bitching about his problems as if he is the only one who has any? I don't know what the hell you're going on about now. A great deal of his songs are about other people and their problems. For example, Coyote Song, Down in a Rabbit Hole, No One Would Riot..., etc. And anyway, isn't that the point of self expression? At no point has he said he was the only one with problems. And I don't see how getting angry at some drunk douchebag is pretentious or elitist.

[dippinNrippin]

@connelldan9 it's a concert for bright eyes you tool, OF COURSE they want attention. Everyone in attendance probably paid 30+ dollars to see them, TO GIVE THEM ATTENTION. shuuuuuuuuut shut your mouth. betchhhhh

[xCarolineification]

xD I love this man.

[CliffordBowe]

haha i was there that was hilarious

[hannahimbesimusic]

oh my GOD im so glad someone caught this on video because i damn near died laughing when conor said that shit to him.

[wefakeit]

this is the best video i've ever seen.

[kristenest]

ahahaha i was at this show too, i'm really glad you posted this

[SolaceSovayTV]

i think the guys a douche bag. freebird sucks

[ddddwhelan123]

what did the dude mean by Freebird ?

[gigi27131]

@ddddwhelan123 it's a famous concert joke to yell out the song lynyrd skynyrd "freebird" as a request even though you know the band doesnt play it. its reallly old and musicians get really annoyed by it hahaa

[WintersEndOfficial]

@gigi27131

thank yoo for explaining that, i was like WTF hahah

[coldandblank]

haha
