The Vines - Get Free (HQ, Live @ Letterman)

[gabitangerine]

2:05 YAAYAYAYAYAYA! Amazing performance, I reckon no one will ever dare to do that again on letterman or anywhere, such a pitty.

[unfamous13]

last of the music with balls that made it onto the mainstream.

[slugger1983]

Hmm, I like the Vines and love Get Free, but this was a terrible performance. It was a "performance" not a performance of Get Free.

[gabitangerine]

God I hate Letterman...what did he say at the begining about the rock n roll band? Anyway, I love the fact Craig seems to hate him too, I mean finally someone played a real show in his studio, everyone is such a fake at his show and it's all so serious. The Vines are the best. Oh and stop saying bullshit about his asperger, asperger doesn't make you act like that, Craig did that because he is awsome.

[thinkhappythoughts67]

@gabitangerine Amen. :D

[LuisRicardo1981]

2:23 guy is like... craig... the fuck... my drumset!

[BrokenSKATE123]

This guy is jesus

[willyrandolf]

this is what i like about music, in my opinoin good music should be cathartic, it should be visceral it should be a release. i have no interest in playing a bunch of noodly little notes and scales all perfect and the "right" way. i swear sometimes musicians are the most narrow minded un-creative creative people. who cares if the guitar was out of tune who cares if hes not playing it "properly" it was REAL

[gabitangerine]

@willyrandolf Yeah dude, you just spoke my mind! I'm so tired of fake people saying that rock n roll should be crazy but in fact no one dares to go really crazy and when something like this comes on the tv people say it's too much...craig is real, especially on this performance, he doesn't care if people are going to hate him or not buy his albums, he wants to get free and do whatever he wants, he is true unlike other musicians...

[tigerloop24]

seriously my fav EVER spazz out meltdown moment by any band in the history of music (and that includes syd barratt of pink floyd forgetting to mime on u.s tv) so funny the drummer at the end, im not even a major fan of the band but i love this

[gabitangerine]

@tigerloop24 You're right he and syd were pretty much the only ones that dared to do this kind of things, mostly because they didn't care and weren't for the fame thing anyway...I know that bands in general are trying to be crazy but it looks like something made up. I don't think that anyone did something like that on letterman though, because he is just too big and shit and every band behaves at his show, so craig is quite brave for sure.

[gc4ky]

hahah thse bassist is like "yup that guys part of the band"

[thinkhappythoughts67]

I can listen to this song forever :DD OMG Craig how much i love you babe ♥

[JankaTheBatgirl]

haha taht is Jim Morrison in 21th century

[xXbhenzXx]

i love his playing attitude! XD haha craig messed up the song, indeed he did really good!

[energylots]

They were massive in the States, and most Australians didn't even know who they were lol.

[Swedernish]

i fucking love it ;D

[mondayonfire]

this is rock and roll mate

[reflectwhatyouare689]

i dont listen to the vines, just came here after reading an article but again i say, no problem at all in acting, like nirvana, or the who or the replacements once did, i mean if i had a band, the band gets attention, and then go onto playin live on TV, i wouldnt think twice to remind the record industry what rock n roll and true music is all about

[AutisticPersona]

Now that's rock and roll!!

[ColtyRamone]

someones blasted

[TheWilsongk]

thom yorke jr

[weirdo968]

[seanmason69]

Hahahaha he's so high.

[fronts60]

i wonder what the crowd were thinking. 

[jim8361]

love how some people this is how they play all the time, it's cause letterman slated them in soundcheck, so he spat it back in his stupid little fucking face - fucking love this band

[sensiblesteve1]

@jim8361 exactly.

not enough people know this

[hildergarn]

The vines should be called Nirvana's rip-off

[JacobMorris18]

I would of really enjoyed this, but when he grabbed the mic at the end and went "woooooo" while spiralling, I just shook my head in disappointment.

[rumch0c0late]

@JacobMorris18 well,

the wolf-man had got free....... it was a full moon night.......... what a loony howling~~ ~~ the man had transfigured into a werewolf and wanted a taste of blood.

[JacobMorris18]

@rumch0c0late Thats deep man.

[CyborgTwinkee]

God his vocals are fucking awful live. So is his guitar playing. I'll just stick to the studio version.

[ragmeankill]

i do no if there takin the piss or not but if they are i fuckin love them ... wait i fuckin love them in anyway ..

[OPRESSERUS]

For as bad as this went I gotta say, he handled it pretty well. I guess. :/

[weezurblue]

hahahahahahhahahahaha I LOVE IT, GIMME PROPS

[Indianajo75]

Loving the screaming haha

[card144]

wtf is that :S i love this song haha

[linkimus]

....

[imortality1995]

I like the vines and silverchair but its all because of american music that made them sound this way,,,, the reason i dig this song so much cuz its a complete rip off of Nirvana's "negative creep"

[pioughd87]

letterman gets so many points for rolling with it

[jauld93]

great performance

[williamboi1]

Puta madre! casi 7 años sin escuchar esta cancion ! mis epocas mas malogradas de mi adolecencia! xD!

[sesientanaqui]

aaaaaaaah? what the hell???

[lugented]

WWHHHHEEIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOO0ooooo­oo!!!

could be west-nile lol.........troubled teens....LOL!!!

[37vortex]

makes you wonder what America thought of Australian bands after this....amazing right?

[lugented]

@37vortex

silverchair was pretty damn good....

[blackbeltbrown]

love this song but what you think of his song writing?

And are they still playing music?

[37vortex]

@blackbeltbrown yes they man they are recording a 5th album

[mrmusica]

Man, now I know that HQ goes for the video quality only...

[Agrios]

haha that was intersting but nice ;P

[CRASS89]

That was disgusting...

[nateitalianstallion]

He has asbergers he can't help how he acts on stage, but I'm sure the band doesn't mind because they've been around for a while

[FishStik5ive]

the drummer sure looked like he minded

[HerrHorst303]

oh man, they look like they hate eachother

[StoneRock105]

this song is fucking asome

[chucklibertine]

best live performance in the history of letterman show!

[Moonmeter]

I love how pissed the drummer looks after Craig trashes his drum set

[Mashtar]

...and there their career went down the toilet. Total punk rock though!

[mrmusica]

@Mashtar: No man... their career didn't went down the toilet... they carried on till the singer got diagnosed with aspergers syndrome.

[asianfoodlover123]

oh my god i didn't know Tom Yorke's brother lived in Australia!?

[blackbeltbrown]

@asianfoodlover123

how is he like Thom Yorke?

[cuckooclock1]

Thom Yorke's long lost twin brother?

[romeo1402]

nah. his guitar goes out of tune after he jumps on the ground the first time - from that point he was probably like 'fuck it' and just went started screaming/blurting

5/5

[dovestones]

I can imagine the faces of the American audience when he lets out that first scream!!

[violinrocker18]

I like this song on the cd but that was horrible. He was so stoned or drunk. That was aweful. That wasn't music.

[amp50158]

it's like watching a terrible high school talent show with a guy trying to impersonate thom yorke's facial expressions

[catfacebut]

i dont think hes trying...

i think its just the drugs hahaha

[Blossom352s]

i love the ending

wooooooooooooooooo

[h4n5646]

jajaja me pregunto como habra sido cuando el grupo se presento por primera vez al publico

[EddyMendozaAlegre]

imaginate que con este performance se hizo mas conocido el grupo .... jajaja fue una de sus primeras presentaciones fuera de su pais

[wiresnlocks]

i think they killed their career with that performance

[recklessroad86]

ur right, but otherways the crew, or what it is mixed that shit as hell!

[skywalkerreload]

Love It

[killthemusic03]

LOOOOL I think this is the best performance Letterman's ever had on there. I Love the Vines they're fraking nuts haha.

[pumpkinheadmetal]

doente

[ralphralph123]

lol. gotta love ya craig.

[binxi18]

letterman couldn't have minded too much since he had them on the show again two years later

[LIBERTINEPARANOIC]

the vines have attitude....they are not popular now and they try to be liek nirvana..but they still have attitude

[cdmaelstrom]

his guitar is fucking detuned after he throws himself on the floor

[Bocahin]

omfg he's retarded too be serious

[markalicuos]

it wasnt even that bad.

i think its entertaining

[olliegodbold1988]

rock n roll, baby

[vishusmartishus]

jesus this is the single most embarrassing live performance I have ever seen. Absolutely ridiculous I dont care how "Craig" performs live, when you play on Letterman you have to 1. play in tune, 2. make sounds come out of your mouth whereas people can understand at least a little bit what the fuck is happening

[jamison693]

do you also have to not have asperges?

[YewLogs026]

Dude, The Vines don't give a fuck about what the audience thinks or what letterman thinks. If they did, they would have done better.

[woodentermite]

EXACTLY they shouldnt give a fuck, whoever gives a fuck should get a job and a nice education and start a nice little family on the prairy. WELL PUT DUDE!

[ChuckNorrisDisciple]

lettterman is a PUSSY

[MorganKai]

hahahahaha..... i bet letterman was like oO' hahahahaha........

[Ericorocker]

youre totally stupid. strokes, vines and hives the same???shut your mouth, you dont even know nothing about music :S

[littleaskater137]

the strokes the vines and the hives sound the same but i gotta give it to the strokes

[hectorxglz]

vergasss!!!!!

[Craignicholls90]

Craaaaaaig The Best!!!!!!!!!

[Charlitoooooo]

Amazing

[erving25]

I love this performance.

[politeista12]

thats fucking rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sebasstienn]

2:39 so funny xD

i love the vines.

[OdogtownO]

[duckman088]

[ngrockyjocky]

[duckman088]

[psycobetabuckdown]

[LovesTeenageProblems]

[alixxmcr94]

[CliffordOmalley666]

actually the singer is autistic.. rock n roll

[nachospole1]

yeah i think he has spergeis syndrome i cant spell it but yeah it's a form of autisim

[nachospole1]

asperges that's it

[Doofer22]

Just plain stupid.

[MISA16]

wtf?

[bobanddavid90]

"I hope they're not neglecting their studies!" Ha ha. Paul is so random sometimes.

[YaaashMichaelScott]

@bobanddavid90 I think hes saying "don't quit your day jobs" cuz ur band sux or being playfully over the top sarcastic about them being normal teenagers - which they clearly are not.

[WooshOnGuitar]

ha the audience is cheering him on when he wrecks the drums
