Blue October - Hate Me (Live at VH1)

[MrWestbrook78]

I love this song, his vocals are so clear very nice, whats with the 36 dislikes???

[CaRxNaGe]

I prefer this over the studio version.

[RADiR3L4ND]

This gives me chills. This guy.. wow. He means every word

[RADiR3L4ND]

Whoa, is he twitching?

[twilightfreakk9677]

its good to see a band that can sing live and still sound great and just like their recorded versions. Don't see that very often anymore....its sad....:(

[TheMarkIngham]

damn, what an amazing performance!

[Kuypers11]

@drizzy809 Judging by your grammar, you're probably a nigger. This songs about his mother but, you probably didn't know yours since you were the result of the condom breaking.

[9FORDIE9]

@Kuypers11 If you are going to critique other people's grammar you should get yours right first. You meant "This song's" because you are saying "This song is"

[Kuypers11]

@9FORDIE9 omg give me a fucking break.

[9FORDIE9]

@Kuypers11 LOL it was a joke! Don't worry

[Odinsjoke]

I discovered Blue October in Iraq in 2007. This was one song I listened to every night as I walked back to my hootch. It it me at home and I listened to it over and over again. The message, the anger, the fight, the peace....all came to me each and every night. Thank you Blue October for the song that made me feel like I was not alone!!

[caroljones1982]

i just love this group and the lead singer... so awesome

[BeardedMIchael]

His emotions make this song incredible!

[curlysue102]

This song is exactly how I felt concerning my loved ones when I was in the throws of my addiction in 80s. Thank GOD my dad and I had 18 years of me clean and sober before he died.

[footballberf428]

amazing band!!!!



[GetSmartydontcha]

insightful realization is liberating... isn't it? Or is it? I am, or am I? Ino, I am, less than, zero. stop.

[rollingmist]

Furstenfeld puts into lyrics and music the emotions that people are broken by. Love this song.

[ThatGuy979183]

@drizzy80 Great grammar man

[konshuns]

@ThatGuy979183 right!!

[theZer0Game]

He is Bipolar. Some of the medications for said disorder bring out tics. I have similar tics from meds used to treat Bipolar disorder.

[deliriumtrigger93]

@theZer0Game me and my psychology teacher are in love with this band and we both did very deep research and he has schizophrenia

[deliriumtrigger93]

@theZer0Game *also*

[deliriumtrigger93]

@deliriumtrigger93 shit now i feel like i dont know anything i meant his brother not him bleh!

[browly02]

......AMAZING!!!!!!!! GREAT MUSIC!!



[geopier1]

i can hearing this song alll dayy!

[bubbamonique]

I WANT TO DIE EVERYTIME I HEAR THESE GUYS, YOU KNOW IN THAT GOOD WAY.

[NelichXCandii]

replayyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING! AMAZING!

[copperjohnred]

I beleive this to be one of the most powerful meanings i have ever heard and hes not bitching about netthing just saying sorry and leave me alone

[Drakester73]

I like him to I can relate to this song as i know he is talking about drug addiction and personal feelings as well about the way these problems effected him and his relationship Cheers!

[XxVampAmberxX]

I love the emotion he puts into this song

[roachz12]

This song says me the Sec verse is how I live my life

[JuliaHearts]

so, so amazing!

[jaywoolsey]

i mute adverts on youtube

[Synysterdemon23]

Has he got tourettes or something? His head keeps moving really weirdly? All that aside, I personally adore this song!

[FairyMomma03]

@Synysterdemon23 He is a schitzophrenic and has severe anxiety issues. When you have mental illness and you relive something so real, raw emotion comes thru.

[skratzzz]

@Synysterdemon23 understand the emotion of music and respect it

[akjammer69]

@Synysterdemon23 When a person loses that someone special in their life that results in the lyrics to this song moving their head,"really weirdly" is the last thing on their mind. I see it as a reaction to the emotions to this song and I think it helps him stop the the tears at least while he is performing, and I can say that I still can't make it through the whole song without the tears. But yes adoring a powerful song.

[catgirl6717]

@akjammer69 Thank you for having perfect grammar, spelling,and especially, genuine, powerful, virtuous emotions!!!! You certainly got the message across! Blue October rocks!!

[BrettLank101]

Fuck all I want is my speakers to go louder...but they won't FML!!

[TheMissLiz69]

I absolutely love this group!!

[BlizzardBeaches]

I can't wait to see you guys perform this Thursday. You've been a favorite band of mine for YEARS!

[Mr8281is5150]

This is an awesome song.... A song to his mother.... things he needed to say while she was alive but never was able to....

[skimitar]

@Mr8281is5150

His mom is not dead tho. That was his actual in the video btw. Good song good video.

[docko84]

This song is even more emotional when you change 'Hate Me' to 'Frape me' ... all those heartless frapes going on :'(

[hangjebatmoden]

this is better than the recording version..

much much better..

[XfedX27]

this song makes me tear up so much...

[KVfilms]

i was suprised how good this was live!

[WolfHeartAKAKiba]

This song means alot to him

[docko84]

sob story begging thumbs up*

[kiiickingshadows]

Twitching? The reverse head bang.

[escutj1994]

wow thats was beast keyboard player just pops in playing the violin :)

[Bootscat12696]

Just close your eyes and listen to the pain and the release of it.

[roundkat]

A Wonderful tribute to all recovering from an addiction...

[Yevad54902]

WOW!!! I'm 65 yrs.old and can say that this is the best video I've ever seen. The passion he shows during the performance is very real. The "twitching" thing is what it is, who cares? Fantastick vocals. My son turned me on to this group. They are great.

[GetSmartydontcha]

@Yevad54902. Yessir, I agree. Just enjoy this song, the passion and feelings it invokes in you. Oh, man, I dig it.

[CRjhawk94]

it doesnt just cause twitches but also slows his reaction time its why he shakes his hand after "ive been sober now for 3 whole months"

[Kailjiin]

sooooooooo muuuuuch passion love this... almost as much passion as i have for this song,.... and yes its for his mother.... even tho it seems soo much more

[4204lyf1]

every time i hear this song it still brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps all over!

[9021173542]

i love this song and this band.

[SaintedFIip]

I really like the lead singers vibrato

[nonchalantgamer]

Does anyone know the correct strumming pattern for the lead guitar?

[dgonzo69]

@NickelbackGurl25 he's diagnosed as bipolar, thats why he twiches like that.

[ProfessionalWidow83]

@dgonzo69 you're so full of shit. Bi Polar does not make you twitch like that. I know because I have it. People need to stop blaming it on a mental or emotional illness. he is performing. to me that is just his passion showing.

[Bootscat12696]

@ProfessionalWidow83

Amen! People just need to enjoy his performance and stop trying to label everything! Just enjoy the performance for goodness sakes.

[ProfessionalWidow83]

@Bootscat12696 :)

[smaily01]

@ProfessionalWidow83 i feel his performance. but i think thats the character he plays up there and in the song. the twitching and all that i mean. he does it so well and he clearly knows what he does

[ProfessionalWidow83]

@smaily01 and I totally agree with you.

[pjthunder123]

24 people hate me :/

[marcolopololo]

to Aries13m, i just herd the dong on the radio not to long ago i felt it was much more then what ppl thought it would be. So when you sayd it was for his mother it all made sence. Kinda Confirmed my thoughts lol, intence.

[gox123]

I love this song

[lkk469469]

uh...so good

[MrNinory]

he is so fucking amazing

[NickelbackGurl25]

no offense to the singer bu whats up with his twitches? lol. ohh and btw this song is FREAKIN AWESOME!:)

[A7xFo]

Everyone saying his twitches are caused by bipolar obviously don't know anything about the illness. He does have a lot of mental issues, but the reason he twitches is because he's actually feeling the music he's singing. Have to love these guys, they're amazing live.

[Kailjiin]

@A7xFo no his medication makes him twitch the medication for his bipolar and anxiety disorders he also has several others which he rather would not explain but regardless he is the greatest songwriter in a loooong time

[Anlimema]

DEAR YOUTUBERS

Can you help this little dreamer?

My name is Angie Medina and I sing and write songs.

My dream is to be a singer, Im not a professional singer but I do my best, music is my life music is my passion.

And I would like that my dream can come true with the help of you guys.

So please give me the opportunity to show you that I can be a great singer and stop by my channel “anlimema” and check out my acapella.

Thank you so much, your support really means the world to me.

[siljaxx420]

This dude is fuckin amazing, I just started listenin to him.... Thumbs up if you agree

[batty612]

I am on the other side of a heroin addiction and I can totally relate to this song as much as he does. Thanks Corey.

[Anarchick1319]

Thank you Justin for saving my life......what I would only give to be able to save yours

[smedieros]

I love his performances...he puts so much emotion into his music

[ImStupidInTheLove]

Ahh i could never hate you

[cincychristy]

a performer that MEANS what he sings, he feels it, and i do too. bravo!

[jugoju1c3]

Great band better when you see them live :D

[cdubmeyer]

@bstal247 yes he has mental problems but that's not why he's twitching or because of paxil...he twitches at the exact right times correlated with the song, it doesn't seem random to me

[czech698]

gatopfuelsaver

[cdubmeyer]

the twitching is an awesome interaction with his music and only dumbasses and non original ppl don't understand why he does it....it comes from inside and expresses a number of things including dissatisfation from ppl when they here the porno word and other stuff....its just an all around good performance and ppl who dont like it dont understand and will never be clever in their meaningless lives sadly

[Unsp0ken1]

I love how you can see how much he means and feels every single word he sings.

<333 you're amazing Justin

[rsoarch7]

Superb performance. One can always tell a good band if their live performance is better than the studio recording

[mro2936]

one of the few bands that actually sound better lives.... i love blue october.

[TheGraveyardJunkie]

As a recovering addict this song really reaches me, I tried to drive everyone that love d me away. their hate was easier to except than their love.

[InLikeFlint3]

@TheGraveyardJunkie Keep up the good fight!

[loxton44]

@TheGraveyardJunkie i agree i was in a drak spot a few yeas ago and im glad i over came it

[1886dodgeram]

He has struggled with bipolar all his life. He spent some time in a mental institution after a bad break up with a former girlfriend.

[JesseMusicc]

Anyone know his illness that causes the twitching? or is it just a habit?

[JfabsatMcTX]

@JesseMusicc it's probably part of his act and he ain't doin it in any other live video I've seen

[TheLonenightwolf]

@JesseMusicc The twitching could be a side effect of whatever medication he was on at the time. He has bipolar disorder, so he might have been on an anti-pyschotic.

[cdubmeyer]

@JesseMusicc its not an illness or a habit, its an expression in his music that non creative ppl cant simply understand

[princessborgz]

how could you do this to me?

[globug76]

they do this stuff on the web

[MCWHAMMER]

Anyone know what VH1 show this was on? Cause VH1 does not play music of any kind, and if they accidentally did at one point, I'd like to know in case they fumble the controls and do it again.

[2005jos]

I got chills :)

[giltonv]

que pinche canción tan poca madre!!! amazing song!!!

[P8tience420]

This became my personal anthem in 2006, when my dad passed and I had to deal with my bitch of a sister and it still applies in 2011 to everyone in my life.  Bipolar sucks

[dmackasd1]

@P8tience420 i know what you are talkin bout the bitch sister thing. my family has fucked up my life so much and now that im a man they still are in my life fuckin things up when is the shit goin to end

[UnitedRustie24]

This is soo me right now, I love this song and all its emotion ♥

[Detriment20]

"I know things between you and I are a little rough right now... you can hate me all you want, but I will never give up the love I have for you! I love you mom..."

[jaydeepee123]

Mezmorizing

[wickera2003]

One word for this...AMAZING!

[KillCapjohns]

why does his head twitch like that

[snflwr1977]

@KillCapjohns because he has tourettes and also is schizophrenic so with all those against him he makes beautiful music. God gave him some terrible things in his life and compensated by giving him this beautiful gift of music.

[KillCapjohns]

@snflwr1977 I agree he has some great music I just found out about the head thing though. THanks for replying :D

[snflwr1977]

@KillCapjohns because he has tourettes and is a schizophrenic. God cursed him with some terrible things in his life to deal with and gave him the wonderful gift of music to compensate for it. He is an inspiration!

[nazli1907]

he is singing so emotionally........damn I love this song!!!

[SunflowerEmmeline]

there are no words...

[YetAnotherMovie89]

@SunflowerEmmeline I could never hate you... ._.

[loveisforno1]

@Adriana. Hugz.

[blueyesfaery]

Songs have meanings for the writers that pen them. We listen to them and take the words to fit our own lives. Then, you find out what the song was truly intended to be about and you take that meaning and incorporate it into your own insanity. But the you still feel the band's passion, because if it's real and you're sitting in that black hole---you hope they can pull you out.

[adriennamayes]

i love this song.i was messed up on herion for ten years and after losing the love of my life because of me being all messed up.i finally sobered up 6 months ago and i listen to this everyday to remind me why i shouldn't never go back.blue october i really love your music please keep it coming.alway be a huge fan (adrienna)

[CrossroadRhythm]

@adriennamayes "shouldn't never" is a double negative sweetie and not what you mean...at least I don't think..and hope it was a mistake. ;^) Congratulations on your sobriety.

[pattyb365]

@adriennamayes I hope you are even BETTER now!! You should be VERY proud of yourself!!

[GetSmartydontcha]

@adriennamayes. I am glad for your sobriety. So glad.

[plstno]

@adriennamayes believe me that i know what U're talkin about...

[Aries13m]

Once I realized this song was for his mother, it brought a whole new meaning. And also, to the people teasing his "twitching" I just saw him live last night, and it was the best performance I've ever seen. Trust me, it's a lot more interesting to watch a performer who has that much passion for his music, rather then someone who just stands there. And besides, look at his album title, "Approaching Normal" he doesn't exactly want to do what everyone else does.

[jaycart22]

@Aries13m He may have tourettes(sp?).

[NxDragon76]

@Aries13m I was just watching that with his 'twiching' thinking that I pity the people that don't understand the passion in these lyrics. Honestly, I have no idea how he does'nt breakdown in tears every performance!! FANTASTIC!!

[hiddenpoet33]

@Aries13m His "twitching" is from an illness that he suffers from and alot of the medications used to treat the illness causes parkinsonians "twitching" and it comes and goes. I have seen them play a few times in person and have been to a back stage party with the group. This is why he sometimes seems to twitch and other times doesn't.

[Kailjiin]

@hiddenpoet33 thank you... someone finally explains to the idiots

[GetSmartydontcha]

@Aries13m. Dammit, I agree! I feel his passion though I can't exactly match it. I feel his pain though mine ain't the same. Alliknow is that this song has become my fav, perhaps for all the wrong reasons or perhaps for all the right ones. Allicansay is that Jesus will save my day as well as yours (not exacly meant for just you :)). I just dig this song and how it has engrained in my self.

[OgBJJ]

@Aries13m it's actually directed towards his ex gf's. look it up, says it in a interview. not trying to upstage you but good point love the passion. amazing artist.

[Kailjiin]

@OgBJJ watch the actual music video its clearly about his mom...

[Kailjiin]

@OgBJJ actually he says its an apology to all the people he hurt while he was having personal issues ....

[OgBJJ]

@Kailjiin not what i saw. not going to continue to talk to you. bye.

[Mr8281is5150]

@OgBJJ watch the original video.... it's clearly towards his mom....

[OgBJJ]

@Mr8281is5150 how do you know it's not towards yo mom? lulz

[MySummerDays]

This song is so good...

[1234dogluver]

WHY IS HE TWITCHING!? IT SCARES ME

[adym15]

@1234dogluver @darthslaxes if u're talking about Justin (the lead vocalist), he's got bipolar disorder.

[Bodybuildingryan]

@1234dogluver Because this song means the world to him, it describes aspects of his life that have hurt him, and he has bipolar disorder. Dont be scared :)

[punkrockersummer]

@1234dogluver STOP BEING SUCH A ASSHOLE. HE HAS AN ILLNESS YOU BITCH.

[darthslaxes]

Love the song, but what's up with him shaking his head like that?

[JordoJay06]

[jenene84]

everytime i hear this song i want to hug my best friend. she had such a hard time.

[therikjones]

Oh god, I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I was an asshole. I'm sorry I cheated on you. I hope to God that you find your peace. I want you to hate me. I want to suffer through the Hell I put you through for one and a half years. I hope you find yourself again, and I hope you find happiness and sunshine again. I hope I'm alone forever, so no one else can be my victim and suffer like you did. Oh God in Heaven, I'm so fucking sorry.

[thugtoyaface]

I hate him all the time

[madcow312]

[TennesseeMX]

[BrendaYaneth]

I love the pain in his voice. So beautiful. Can't stop listening to this.

[LovelyJessica24]

Not only is this an incredible song but he means every. single. word.

[Smullet90]

@ShunLifeify

More specifically It's about pushing them away because you don't want them to suffer through your problems. (my take on the lyrics)

[XeveryonebleedsnowX]

@Smullet90 story of my life
