[riskykid101]

@toppydooby no, he's just not singing in an American accent; like so many English singers do

[TiLtInGyOuRhOuRgLasS]

lol i think hes making his voice sound all operaish on purpose O.o

[TrifectaStudio]

Anyone else feel like the singer could transition to opera with no problems?

[joeryanisaocelot]

@TrifectaStudio i always thought that, but no one ever agrees with me!

[tmh983]

[Cheesymittens]

@salgado1993

But then we wouldn't get crazy awesome Rob.. With his cool dance moves..

Is that what you want?

No fun guy? :(

[projectx45]

@salgado1993 Rou does enough work running back and forth. Besides, Rob is epic and... crazy. Reason he was called Psycho Rob

[avatera1]

@salgado1993

synth drums sound to good they are crappy plus rob is awesome even though rou is my favorite =D

[21usarmy21]

[eifersucht14c]

When a band fires off party poppers before a performance, you know shit's about to go down.

[SpartanNick255]

@eifersucht14c Hell yea.

[cheloronaldo]

can someone explain me who the hell is jonny sniper? i mean.. i've looked the lyrics but i dont know who jonny sniper is... im from mexico so xD....

[leeward91]

@cheloronaldo

From what I know Jonny sniper is a character from a sex education video from when the band where at school. He would go around shooting out "jonny's" (condoms) from a sniper rifle onto guys penis' lol.

This song is immense !!! R.I.P Shikari Ferrari

[cheloronaldo]

@leeward91 wtf and all the song is about that? xD JAJAJA

[Manicdepresant]

@cheloronaldo the song is about the earth crying out to people to behave since we have no respect for it lol

[ACiDNATiONN]

@Manicdepresant read leeward91's comment. its true. lol.

[frizzybob]

@cheloronaldo is that a racist comment ?

[cheloronaldo]

@frizzybob no :o!! it is not O.o why do you say that? i dont get how that comment could be seen as racist .... ??

[frizzybob]

@cheloronaldo you're implying people from mexico don't know shit.

[cheloronaldo]

@frizzybob how am i supposed to know the history about jonny sniper ? that a character from an england cartoon :S .. and about the racist thing... come on dude.. mexico is a target of the racism ..so for that reason i hate racism and im against it.. maybe you took my comment in a wrong way...you just misunderstood the comment..

[frizzybob]

@cheloronaldo alright, well that's cool, i dont know shit myself, so i guess we're even.

[cavudog]

I love when people argue on videos about things that have nothing to do with the band or song.

[723Energy]

Awesome

[mUslcfrEAk]

they are so good live its fucking ten times better then any other band ive seen

[SocksInPanic]

Great song, reminds me of Some screamo bands... In a good way.

One of the best and most melodic ones by ES

[alextalent94]

Rob is a really nice tapper!

[OKLangers]

@alextalent94 everything is wrong with that statement :P Rory*

[alextalent94]

@OKLangers Oh sorry...but I think he taps well. Bye

[OKLangers]

@alextalent94 he's an amazing tapper! you just got the name wrong, rorys awesome

[LesPaulCoaster]

@OKLangers The guy from enter shikari is good but not phenonamal

[Blackenthecursedsun1]

Guitar tone is absolutely horrible.

[v1Ryvan]

@toetermannen lol anouther fag that wears girl pants

[Asmodai4]

@v1Ryvan Its about music not pants.

[ibanezmetalman]

@Asmodai4 hahaha

[toetermannen]

@v1Ryvan I take it that you're 11 years old?

[FOReverTRONtheband]

dodge haha

[v1Ryvan]

@CelticHippie1...you must be a fag...and yes gays are different..a mans dick has no business in another mans asshole lmao! and besides..I don't mind the long hair but its annoying when they all do it..and its really annoying if they have long hair and don't wash it..kinda like a hippie?

[toetermannen]

@v1Ryvan Dude please go kill yourself,, massive fucktard

[stratdude48]

hol...hold up...yea....yea i just came

[zhadow7]

Fuck-ing immense!

Liiike.

[TrifectaStudio]

Anyone else notice the bassists lisp?

[allrain]

always hated that fukin intro ;)..

[v1Ryvan]

cool thing about these guys,is that they dont have the gay long hair that every other band has

[ElectronicDisease]

@v1Ryvan Thats cuz there louts hahaha. they just like the odd bitta rock hahaha

[CelticHippie1]

@v1Ryvan

Long hair, is pretty hip. In some cases, it can look ugly, but for the most part, long hair is awesome. And of course your a homophobe...or at least, someone who doesn't like gays, because...um...uh...why might I ask? There different? *Gulp*

[CelticHippie1]

@CelticHippie1

What a horrible thing...sorry, just felt like venting on you. For the use of one word. Also defending the faith of long hair. SO next time, let's think about using the word "gay", it's offensive even to straight people. Thanks, Anyways, have a great day! :)

P.S. The last part isn't sarcasm, I wish you well, and your choices change.

[heavymetal999]

It's weird, i don't like this song on the album but i like it live

[sheeplover2009]

lol in text

[crazzyhubbard]

Rory is an amzing guitarist xD

[Dtm540]

haha psycho eyes at 1:27 :P

[aidanw10]

have u seen them live, aswell as being wild they are musicaly awsome.

[the1trueseed]

um, they are renowned for their energetic intimate performances rather than anything else, for them i think they are enjoying the ride rather than obsessing over 100%% perfect performances, either way, they are having fun and so are the fans. that is all :)

[debuggz]

@the1trueseed When you see them in concert, all you wanna do is move. There's no such thing as standing still.

[bojangles954]

i woulda been pissed that they didnt play ok time for plan b

[gravyisawayofgospel]

they played it at hammersmith, it was the best thing ever

[murrayisarobot]

i was so surprised they played this on the UK tour just gone, went down a storm at hammersmith

[darkeneddayswill]

@mynameisJAC0B I saw them about a week ago or more, and they played it... they should have played at your gig.. if it was after feb 12th. but i guess they had better songs to play, since they probably werent one of the bigger bands at soundwave

[BreakinBenjamin74]

hahah look at his face at 1:27. great song :D

[tRiViUm256]

I'm going to see them in May with A Day to Remember, August Burns Red, and Silverstein. If they don't play Jonny Sniper, I'm gonna be so sad.

[omg1836]

guitarist needs a slap.

[JJaffar11]

why?

[TaylorStewart95]

Seeing them tonight, i cant wait!

[powrdrivr56]

@TaylorStewart95 lucky!!!!

[NarcoGames]

awful guitar player

[Jamieclapton]

@NarcoGames he really has the worst tone ever , i think his playing is good but you can totally tell that on their new album he had NOTHING to do with the sound of it

[blueredfred2]

@Jamieclapton he had a LOT to do with the tone. i agree with you though, his tone really is to high pitched/ hi middish, and anyone who thumbs down these comments clearly needs some lessons on EQ.

[sethy1]

@blueredfred2 Lol shut the fuck up about tone. hes on EMG Pickups with a fucking Orange amp. Shut the fuck up and go take your pro studio shit somewhere else. I suppose they should by a $100,000 rack as well for the guitar set up. They need alot of work, but some kids just rather play crappy sounding music than just worry about flawless live performances. Super high gain is what you're going to get from both of those. Hes a noob, But hes up there and you're not.

[blueredfred2]

@sethy1 @sethy1 how about no, I wont take my pro studio tone anywhere else, orange amps are pro audio if you've never looked they are very expensive, he has very expensive gear, all I'm saying is he needs to turn the treble down on his amp, in my OPINION. You clearly think that enter shikari are some raw band who use equipment theyve bodged together, which is not the case, they are using pretty much the best equipment, see those in ear monitors? they arent free. go read a sound tech book.

[AdrianCrash]

@blueredfred2 The tone of this performance it's not his normal tone rory uses DIEZEL and ENGL amps, than in my opinion are better that the mesa that he is using here, maybe a tube blown on the diezel or the engl so is using the mesa like a backup, look another live performance or hear the cd's he has a lot better tone.

[LarshHarry]

Sethy1, fucking hell - he's not got an EMG, it's just a stock humbucker and a custom SG. Heard of fucking opinion? That's HIS tone, not yours so why the fuck do you care? Gypo.

[sethy1]

You must not have been reading what I was talking about you stupid cunt, Maybe you should go back and read what I'm taking about. Dont even bother messaging back, for the record I was trolling those are shitty dimarzio pick ups on the lowest quality SG. Go back to eating your marzipan little boy.

[LarshHarry]

@sethy1 Nah, you stupid fucker. I read what you said and replied accordingly, maybe you should read what you wrote you fucking mongle. No it's also not a dimarzio - just stock and a low quality SG? It's in the same line as supremes, it's custom. Retard.

[RageMachineAgainst]

I prefer them live! ahahahah

[SeanathenII]

you should have seen them in aberdeen the last time they played, with TWDP supporting them.

Drummer was pished and was totally out of time, it was awful

[DRUMnBASS19431]

what is jonny sniper??

[Falconclaws]

@DRUMnBASS19431 their mascot i think who is a sex-ed character who is like Cupido, but instead of a Bow he got a Sniper rifle, and instead of arrows he fires condoms, so it's also a condom brand or something, i've heard that they gave fans Jonny Sniper condoms during one show one time haha

[javacola25]

3:11- Nice dodge.

[madeinmanchesterr]

@javacola25 311 nice band! hahaha and yes it defs was

[projectx45]

@javacola25 That's what you call trust

[slipknotrocker666]

i love rous look as he knows he didnt hit the right note :P

[sheeplover2009]

they sux live

[Sh1k4ri]

you sux , ES are fucking awsome !!

[sheeplover2009]

yes they are man but not live

[DoYouGotScurvies]

no ones perfect man, they do thier best, and they have fun while doing it

[sheeplover2009]

if you doing it it should be fuck

[DoYouGotScurvies]

that doesnt make sence......??

[murrayisarobot]

ah its a shame that Rob said that he doesn't want to play this song anymore, it looks amazing live

[smithsweeney]

They played it on the tour just gone, but a 'sexed up' version lol

[MCFazZe]

cant wait to see em live at warped :D

[brianmgksi]

can someone explain to me what this song is about? i have the faintest idea but i don't think it's right. anyone?

[TheLazzara]

it's about condoooooooooom

[wizdancer]

@brianmgksi It's about how we're wrecking nature, and saving it

[murrayisarobot]

well, the "crashing of white waves" and the "screaming of the earth" aren't actually what it sounds like. its actually euphamisms for doing girls, a bit like william blake's poetry. jonny sniper is a strange fellow who shoots contraception onto people

[sheeplover2009]

onny Sniper" is described by Rou in the March 10th issue of Kerrang! Magazine saying this of the song "It's about people having no respect for the earth. The lyrics are about the earth crying out, telling us to behave". This is similar to the description given for the song "No Sssweat" by the band at live shows. They were present in other areas as well when a demo version of the track, less produced, with different lyrics and a slightly different structure, was featured on Enter Shikari's third

[someT00Lguy]

this has to be the best performance of jonny sniper hands down

[GivenUp023]

seeing these guys march 2010 at soundwave!! can't wait!!! brilliant song!

[Peaty1992]

Fuck yes, I'm seeing them in Bris at the end of Feb going to be brilliant.

[prayforaslowdance]

its jonny sniper the cunt

andd

jonny sniper was the character in the sex education video they saw at school

[murrayisarobot]

no, jonny condom is the sex education video. but calling a song jonny condom is a bit weird, so they came up with jonny sniper, a guy who shoots contraception at people :)

[chaboinas]

1:28... jajajajjajaja q crack!

[blopaxzONe]

I cant figure out what Rou is saying at the beggining!!! "Jonny Sniper the ??????'s inside that van, and we blew it up" wat does he say? lol

[wizdancer]

@blopaxzONe "Jonny Sniper the cunt"

[perthsessions]

'Johnny Sniper the cunt was inside that van when we blew it up.'

[wulpul]

i think he says "Jonny sniper the cup" :/

[TheMetalCOREman]

@blopaxzONe Jonny Sniper The Cunt was inside that van

[MrRawrXP]

seeing them in 9 days cant wait ;D

[nuhaze]

So good.

[brianmgksi]

i've been listening to this song like non-stop.

[stigghy243]

its not a close call, the allways do that, look at "the feast" live hah

[GoreSpattered]

Seeing this band in Feb, so pumped.

[Damundio]

3:11 Really is a close call!

[MAZshikari]

1.27 - well love his face :')

[SystemOfADownHSV]

00:39???
