The Walkmen The Rat

[notorioussouljur]

All time fav.

[haymaker710]

I felt this way this morning.

[bornflippy1]

@haymaker710 I hear that..I feel this way right now !

[superstrut75]

They look very British with their look/image etc.

[marvelmite1]

I love the urgency, pain, anger, and sadness all wrapped up in this one song. Such a diverse span of emotions for a 4 1/2 minute song

[uncleschmuck]

is the album this song on any good?

[Catalina650013]

@uncleschmuck Timely question to read. I just got this album (it's titled "Bows + Arrows") and I've been listening to it on repeat this week. It's definitely worth your time and a front to back listen. I think it's their best record.

[VentraleStar]

@uncleschmuck In my opinion it will ruin this song a bit as the rest of the album is all of the same thing except less well done.

[AdamCarnell]

I frickin love this track

[TheDigit69]

class song

[odinswolf1969]

anger never sounded so good

[MsGabs79]

[alexTICKEEET]

@superstrut75 . Just to say I'm female and learnt this song for college. ha

[superstrut75]

@alexTICKEEET well i will try and learn it but the tempo of the song and the fills are a bit too fast for me at the moment. i shall keep at it though.

[MrPMBRAGA]

FABULOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­1



[warhawkification]

super track!

[superstrut75]

am i right in sating the drummer is left handed?

[alexTICKEEET]

No, he's playing right handed. Although, in the intro he hits the snare with the left stick

[superstrut75]

@alexTICKEEET cheers for that sir. i tried to drum along to it but its way out of my league ! ha

[mandalorianjai]

this is nothing but right.

[MsGabs79]

@mandalorianjai right in a very very bad way..takes your guts apart..

[blindmansarrow]

wow I'm pleasantly surprised!! what a wonderful video. well done, understated, effective.

[projectrogers]

The drummers just quietly having a heart attack at the back....

[burn1980]

sounds bloody similar to even fallen in love by the buzzocks but still awesome!

[RamaKpo1]

Know this from True Crimen , NYC.

[hostyposty]

This song makes me so sad. Fuck.

[dedochueko]

Huy Excelente Recordando un poco con esta rola!

[xandega]

Dane Cook sings and Paul Schneider plays the keyboard..

[foreverland100]

This song is perfect but the drums and the voice are from another planet!!!

[dreamingcode]

just finished listening to quiet little voices and thought of this amazing track

[gasgas270]

BEST SONG EVER.

[LDCompressed]

great song. can't stop listening to it. the rush it gives me is indescribable..

this is my style of drumming, raw and fucking incredible.

[kurtdenpunk]

El baterista es un demonio..!!!!! Bien hay!

The drummer is a demon ....!!!!! While there!

[billyb4223]

It's like the best of the Strokes... And kind of the Killers... And everything else I love... for 4 minutes of pure amazingness :)

[waalaman]

I saw them a couple years ago. They did not play this song, perhaps because they were sick of crowd members yelling for them to play it? I hope the band understands that people love it so much because it's a damn good song! It's raw, has amazing drumming & the lyrics really resonate.

[dolpowerattack]

Uy que buen rola. Ya tenia tiempo buscandola sin saber quién era, hasta que por fin hoy me la encuentro. Felicidades a todos mis mis amigos que son músicos. ¿qué se seria la vida sin música? ¿Qué sería de nosotros? Lo sé. Ya lo dijo Nietzsche. "La vida sin música sería un error" Orgasmo auditivo. :D

[gmalt888]

I want this played at my funeral....it is just utter genius!!!

[MsGabs79]

@gmalt888 was thinking the same thing all day...honest..!!!!!!

[reddevil70]

copying ENGLISH bands....... MADCHESTA !!! mint though ....

[smeagolnelsonn]

[CK2008able]

Fucking astonishing stuff. Props to the drummer, that's some serious percussion

[gmalt888]

Back in 2004...I heard this & blew me away!!!! Now 2011; still just "timeless" in intensity!!!

[reddevil70]

MINT SONG !!!! carl in scarborough.... England.

[badchunky1]

Kick ass song. Not a big hit with people.... WTF?!!!

[RevenantEternal]

These drums are awesomesauce! Like Everlong on steroids!!!!!!

[JimBean365]

[Zourkraut]

most likely one of the best tunes of the last decade.

[crabeyes100]

I'll never tire of hearing this.

[battlefield2013]

these guys opened for Fleet Foxes At A Concert I Went Too, There Spectacular.

[mstryff]

Even though the law, and common sense are in favor of fair use, WMG has the money. I hope google/youtube eventually grows the balls to stand for itself.

[cookwerth]

Lol the closeups of bass player look like hes doing something else, great song though

[SirSirRobin]

The drummer reminds me of the Doctor.

[Warmenhuizz]

World Rally Championship 2005 psp

[gauchebag]

this is some of the simplest drumming ever

[cookwerth]

@gauchebag i'm no drumming expert, but it looks and sounds pretty complicated to me

[gauchebag]

@cookwerth

it's not and you by your own admittance you wouldn't know anyway

[cookwerth]

@gauchebag but it clearly isn't the simplest drumming ever! those fills are mental- if you asked me to do that I couldn't, because I can only drum simply.

[modestmaust]

@gauchebag

It's not that simple, but not that easy either. It's pretty good though, ain't it?

[villen86]

DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER SEEING THIS VIDEO IN COLOR OR AM I JUST CRAZY? I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND I REMEMBER SEEING THEM APPEAR ON JBTV AND THEY PLAYED THIS VIDEO ( IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D HEARD THE BAND) AND IT WAS IN COLOR, THE WALL HAD PSYCHEDELIC PALE COLORS LIKE PINKS YELLOWS AND GREENS PROJECTED ON IT THAT LOOKED ALMOST LIKE GERM CULTURES TO A DEGREE.

[galvin227]

@villen86 With those color schemes, you may have just been on acid.

[villen86]

@villen86 Yeah i'm starting to think maybe they did a live set and just used the same projector they do in this video as they did while performing.

[GEEFLEXZ]

@villen86 yeh u mite have SCENE that...but maybe...just MAYBE ur kinda crazy like...

[ReeceDemanbro]

Saw them live in june at hyde park (kings of leon concert) absolutely incredible !

[damlacln]

the guitar tone is very beautiful,very nice music,really love this group

[Marmoset2009]

[baronobo]

Favourite song of the 00's, but...

[eternalshoegazer]

Despite my having much love for The Strokes, they have NEVER written a song that can touch this!

[JustABSide]

@eternalshoegazer Awww, that's a big call man! Trying Your Luck! Whatever Happened! 12:51! Ize of the World! 15 Minutes! You Only Live Once! Hard To Explain! Razorblade!

[chanceie12]

@eternalshoegazer Lol what a fucking idiot you are. Hard To Explain is just one song that tops this , i love it. but these guys only have 1 song in them.

[sidedead92]

My favorite song...

Angela Surf City is also a song written by very large man-balls.

[vladnek]

they're like morning runner but with bigger balls, amazing song!

[craigmac]

Do they have any other songs like this? Everything else I've heard from The Walkmen seem to be much slower than this. Would love to hear another fast paced track from them.

[slamfortica]

@craigmac Tenley-town, Little House Of Savages, Thinking Of A Dream I Had.
