[maxisslipknot]

he reminds me of corey taylor and thats saying something brian rules

[sexandgrilledcheese]

@maxisslipknot slipknot blows retard midget dicks

[maxisslipknot]

@sexandgrilledcheese best band in the world dick fuck

[sexandgrilledcheese]

@maxisslipknot lol youre fuckin delusional 

[maxisslipknot]

@sexandgrilledcheese you're just a wanna be fear mongering music doucher...so suck it motherfucker anyway least we agree the gaslight anthem are quality and and brian kicks major ass

[mrrocker101]

@maxisslipknot He doesn't kick ass, he merely has to look at said ass and it then proceeds to kick itself. Fact.

[punkrockstitchy]

@maxisslipknot VERY nicely put! They are my two favorite musicians. I'd kill to see them do a show together

[desertwalker123]

Please someone, make a tutorial!

[uberhippie666]

Bri looks skinny on this.

[BVisionProductions]

brian looks like jay mewes

[ace7xneon89]

this is one of the best songs ever, love the acoustic version if only i could sing as good as him

[jreillybitches]

gots a man crush on this dude!!!!!!

[TheMillsy21]

It is currently 4:36am. There is a thunderstorm raging outside my window. I've had this song on repeat for the last half hour. This is the closest thing to a religious experience I've had in my entire life.

[leeboysouth]

@TheMillsy21 that comment was almost as beautiful as this song.

[Nashyboy89]

Breathtaking. Superb performance of one of the best songs I've heard in a long, long time.

[CooCooChiChi]

one of the best songs EVER written. Fallon is a genious, singing and writting using sincere emotions that we all struggle with on a daily basis. My dream is to have a jam with this guy!

[TheMiilkshake]

I can watch this performance a thousand times and every time I fall in love with him and this great acoustic version. Amazing! The Gaslight Anthem is the greatest band I've ever listen! Thanks for all guys!

[derfaddi]

i´d like to hear this one when i go

[GhostDistortion]

@derfaddi You're not alone. I think I would too.

[GhostDistortion]

This may be the best song ever written. Ever.

[danjbailey]

I miss listening to Q101 while driving to work. Fuck New Mexico.

[kenzd266]

what a beautiful man! i'm not even gay!

[Ruest420]

thats one of the sickest hats ive seen

[TheUSDeltaForce]

Sent shivers through my whole body

[TheGreatEckscape]

Top, top band!

[leeboysouth]

this ain't e street people, although I love the Boss and those guys...this is Gaslight and there thing...compared to none in my book!!

[CutToRibbons]

It has nothing to do with Springsteen! (at least not for me) and The Gaslight Anthem is an amazing band... but I truly think Brian Fallon is a legend all on his own. <3

[Crazycupmuffin]

@CutToRibbons yeah but come on he does everything bruce has done.

[17Hongo]

Got into these guys because I am a bruce fan. Legendary

[emthedrummer]

Brian really loves Dickens, doesn't he?

[goguyestguygo]

I understand the Bruce Springsteen comparisons, but don't do it. This guy is heavily influenced by way more people, and the references he makes are huge clues to who they are. Bob Dylan, Counting Crows, Charles Dickens, it's pretty genius.

[itabuttrose]

@goguyestguygo yeah man but brian is the new best american singer songwriter im a massive dylan fan but i think brian is equally on par with bob but not bruce,keep plodding down the road and he will be one day the new boss

[williemac1]

is it just me,or does brian look a hell of a lot like jason mewes out of clerks and so on in this video?

[Brucebaby102]

we need no new bruce springsteen we need brian fallon. he is an own person with his own art. he should be respected for that not only for bruce was singing with them.

[elkboy]

this reminds me of where I thought Ryan Adams was going before he went VERY country.

[leeboysouth]

@elkboy This guy is from Jersey, Ryan Adams is from NC...go figure :-)

[Urinella007]

It's amazing!! He sings gently with his guitar and in my head I hear the whole band ... wow

so repeat :)

[0zzz0zzz0zzz0]

man ich will die mütze haben...! damn i wann have that hat!

[DesecrationSmile52]

this sounds like a different song than the one on the album. i didn't think that version could get better, but this version is better.

[DreamBind]

@DesecrationSmile52 Yeah i know, I like how he can sing the same song with different feelings. Love this dude.

[stressnadiction]

mindblowing



[MonTheTiger]

Could anyone link me to a GOOD tab for this version :)

much appreciated

[leeboysouth]

@MonTheTiger  metalhead.ro/tabs/The_Gaslight­_Anthem/The_59_Sound_Acoustic_­Chords-211751-23572-1.html

[lucasgaslight]

He isn't the next Bruce Springsteen. He is the first Brian Fallon.

[TheLimo64]

@lucasgaslight Perfectly put. I'll have to remember that one ;)

[gbyrne92]

I love this guy. Too fuckin cool!

[SteevBrool]

I'd say brian is for sure a lot like springsteen. The only difference for me would be the fact that springsteen is shit, and brian is actually good.

[UniversalVideos]

@SteevBrool can't hate on the boss man

[jonnywev]

modern day Bruce. best band of our decade?

[DannyCozzi]

@jonnywev No question.

[N3kroy]

they should make an acoustic album(:

[Fcorteze]

Awesome performance! 

[punkrockenvy]

Gaslight Anthem sounds like Against Me! mixed with the Killers..you know it's true..Brian Fallon reminds me of Tom Gabel.

[loyaltallie]

@punkrockenvy same here. i like where gaslight is going though...not so sure about against me! hah.

[1223dude1223]

@punkrockenvy no, no and no. they sound like good ol' rock and roll and thomas gable really sucks the big one now. if i hear the song "teenage anarchist" one more time, im going to hunt him down and give him some strong words.

[ccaggd1]

@1223dude1223 against me! is still one of the reasons this band is famous and probably got to you thou i completely disagree with the person ur arguing with give Against Me! props even thou teenage anarchist (song and constant theme in their music) SUCKS! i respect them for being a part of the reason the my favorite band the gaslight anthem is in my life :)

[1223dude1223]

@ccaggd1 ok, well, i'm not arguing just discussing:P anyways, i love agianst me! one of my favorites, but new against me! music sucks. thomas gable sold out you have to admit, they would play shows for somthing to eat and a place to stay, now they play to make millions of dollars, thats shit. he has become part of the capitilism he once dispised. also, i found out about the gaslight anthem from the radio, i heard '59 sound and fell in love with their music. that is all i have to say for now:P.

[ccaggd1]

@1223dude1223 yea but still after you hear against me! cover bastards of young ur pretty much hooked, haha but yea i somehow ran into gaslight anthem and downloaded all their songs and saw them live in the course of like 2 1/2 months, their my favorite by far, but i dont get ur beef with against me! why would u prefer to b poor when u dont have to be? and capitalism..o yea he WAS a teenage anarchist...it hurts us all, thats why i love the bands that arent full or it like The Gaslight Anthem

[1223dude1223]

@ccaggd1 well, why do people need money to be happy? personaly i don't like having alot of money, when i do i share. anyways, thats not the point hahaha. the point is the gaslight anthem are amazing and sound nothing like agianst me! and i agree, i am a big fan of political and idealistic music. but sometimes it's nice just to hear music.

[ccaggd1]

@1223dude1223 and i agree to actually this convo just started cuz i thought u hated against me hahaha

[1223dude1223]

@ccaggd1 cheers to that, if i ever somehow meet you drinks are on me:) hahahaha

[ccaggd1]

@1223dude1223 haha well thanks dude, heres to good punk!

[allensugar]

You can argue this is not the best version of the song technically speaking. But for some reason, I always find myself deeply engaged in this acoustic rendition to the extend that I cant avoid shedding a tear. The chords, simple. His voice, humble. The message, honest.

[krumbum999]

Against Me! and Gaslight Anthem have saved me many times, REAL music, with heart. Vivida Vis!

[seppel412]

awesome performance:D:D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WatchingViking]

its nice to know that there are still genuine musicians out there.

[ADTR1990]

whats the strumming style hes doing on this? would love to learn it but im such a n00b when it comes to these types of things. cant figure it out

[wolfhawk1999]

this song breaks my heart, I love it

[MrPatcoupe]

omg such an amazing song and just 82k of viewers ?? .... we are drifting away ... :(

i hope they can fill the gap when bruce decides to stop playing...but i guess our boss wont stop :)

[r1seagainst182]

Did you here the '59 sound? Gotta love it:) this song is epic

[FozGermany]

As fresh as the "boss" would like to be!! Awesome voice, awesome lyrics!!

[cavmusicnyc]

into it for sure......

[bLitz72]

I'm a guy but this song makes me sad, it has a very sad vibe but a good one. Something pretty rare in music these days...

[sayuhedead]

@bLitz72 i agree..i got the same felling the first time i heard The National, especially their album Boxer

[Troy21071989]

Even a though guy like me crys when hes listenting to this song!

[SombreroJack619]

I love how every recording of this song acoustic sounds completely different, but each one is better than the last one you listened to

[TheNatedogg56]

I feel like he played it in too high a key. But the way he sings this version totally changes the feel of the song.

[Passiej90]

@TheNatedogg56 yeah man I agree. His voice doesn't quite make it up there, but he probably made this decision deliberately. Sounds damn good, more Americana than rock.

[tgafan83]

I heard Brian's acoustic that he recorded their records in was busted after some baggage handlers threw it.... Man, that would suck!

[neverslept]

young boys

young girls.

[dangloverenator]

Love this song so much. Not so keen on the acoustic version, but great nonetheless.

[MonTheTiger]

does anyone know a good tab for this/tab it for me?

It is amazing.

J

[seekuh5]

@MonTheTiger ultimate-guitare/com

[Hallucination]

It will be funny to read the comments after they've gotten really popular which they likely will be aftert he next album. A lot of the people praising them now will become music snobs and act like the new stuff sucks and they're a cooler fan with more integrity cause they liked them way back when. haha! No offence to anyone but you know it's gonna happen and those will be the comments we see.

[dangloverenator]

@Hallucination I don't think it is fair to generalise like that- it will maybe happen for some fans, but not everyone. You are suggesting that you are the perfect music fan- is anyone?

[Hallucination]

read and comprehend. I said "a lot of people" Not everyone. Never suggested anythng about myself. Only pointed out that it's a FACT a lot of people are gonna bitch and moan when Gaslight Anthem starts seeing commercial succcess. Music snobs who like the fact they have band in their back pocket more than the actual band itself.

[patchmack2]

@Hallucination i doubt that. gaslight isn't hipster enough to gather that many snobs. as long as they keep making good records theres no reason that people will bitch about it.

[Oaklley]

I saw them in Finland in the last summer. They were kick ass but unfortenately there were only like 1000 people in the crowd. That was a summer festival

[tomorichard]

yeah yeah so this band is becoming popular and been played on the radio they are still amazing and i for 1 will still be a fan!! just got hold of 1 of the 59 sound platinum disks its my pride and joy

[scottoh1]

best band ever!

[SAMSMELLSLOTS]

I genuinely love the music this band makes, end of.

[justingarman]

Even "The Boss" respects this band.. That would be enough for me.

[TehRatchet]

@justingarman

He said The '59 Sound was the best album of the decade. :)

[kattskrall]

@justingarman u mean elvis? jklol

[viciousskating]

i can't stop listening to the 59 sound album its beautiful

[saucemeist1]

Tear up everytime I watch this. Reminds me of losing my sister in a car accident on a sat. Nite. Fallon's voice is the only one who could do it justice.

[ruiamsoru]

Maple! If you watch this... learn this tab dude! This acoustic is great... the 97x version still better though!

[Elphie90]

Perfection.

[wfoot2003]

i saw these guys open for rise against last year. they blew me away. i can't wait till they get even bigger

[dunnnerr]

I don't want them to get bigger. I want to keep them all to myself. Is that selfish?

[13Yanks]

NOPE

[visious73]

im with ya, i dont want to see another AM! (commence shit storm)

[MyYouToobShiat]

@visious73

I'd be less worried about them pulling an Against Me! and more worried about them going full-blown Kings of Leon.

Remember when we respected Kings of Leon? Seems like eons ago now.

[forestfrolic]

@dunnnerr These guys need to get bigger, if you want to still hear them make music. I know what you mean, when you love a band before they are known then all of a sudden everyone likes them for what seems like all the wrong reasons. But it's really what they need. And it's what every band wants. There's a difference between getting big, and selling out.

[TheOaklandBoy]

i dont know why but when i sing allong to this version i tear up :') i dont know why its just beautiful

[TGreeny30]

these guys are one album away from taking over the world

[thelukefaller]

this is class

[K4driver2]

as good as Springsteen. I think we found the one who fills in for Bruce when he stops playing.

[daveymagnum]

@K4driver2 idkn about saying as good as springsteen, there's only one boss. lol. i love brian fallon though, he's a fantastic singer, and guitarist. i love how in almost every song you can tell how much they love music by putting little hints of lyrics and song titles in the music. its awesome.

[K4driver2]

@daveymagnum I meant almost as good. at least compared to Modern music, he is this Generation's Springsteen. your right, people may copy, but there is only one King,one chairman and one Boss of Rock and Roll.

[mykusj]

@K4driver2 he's good, but nowhere near springsteen

[ElectricWonderland]

@mykusj why even compare?

[ironxstevo]

@K4driver2 I agree, but I hope Bruce never stops playing

[scurlcube]

i can really relate, which makes this soo much better

[jonahtonto1]

this really cuts me up, the pure emotion of losing someone your close to . . ..

[jenarj]

Could someone be more real and play/sing something from their heart?!? I hear this version and think of the people I've loved and lost and miss so much.

[bberger898]

goddamn. i listen to this song like everytime im on youtube, and it never faails to amaze me. he doesnt even need to try real hard to get his voice high like some frontmen, or strain at all in his singing, its so naturally beautiful.. this is wat real pure music is. one voice, one guitar. no shitty voicedubs or synthesizer crap, 100 percent real

[freddodaguitar]

this man is a god and hes not even that good a musician.

I can never work out exactly what it is but I wish I was him lol

[catzeyes919]

I cry literally every single time I hear this song,

[StringsofMartyr]

I like how he changes the verses to a minor key. It just makes the acoustic version so much more than just an unplugged version.

[SuperBrickDude]

it's the same as the regular version but word.

[MrPaillou]

This man is so talented he didn't even need to be so hot.

[GnarChicken]

so great to watch. So happy some1 is making music like this again. Thank you Gaslight!

[ejburton]

lots of love going on here for this song :)

[themannyo]

I'm not a fan of acoustics but really enjoyed this! - great performance !

[bberger898]

Sorry man it's tough on an iPod

[bberger898]

the sad grief in brians voice is amazing. there is somethin about brian fallon and an acoustic guitar tht is mesmorizing. this is real music. not tht dumb crap thts popular nowadays

[89unearth]

i agree but learn to spell please!

[Xerolinder]

Great song. Digging the Springsteel feel of the acoustic version.

[Oaklley]

I saw them 2 months ago. They were so kick ass!

[shakermaker082]

I just saw him in new brunswick at the court tavern and he was badass. He's a class guy too...shook my hand and everything

[Wallerize]

He is quality

[jodyhamilton]

amazing son by an amazing singer...... the new springstein

[Yourattentionplease]

He is a fan of Springsteen, Folksy is more about feelin's then tune.

[Nodickfilms]

awesome brian... awesome!

[ananasje]

aww, he's nervous! But I love the gaslight anthem, and he CAN sing really good, saw 'em live.

cute :)

[CaptainCommode666]

Out of all the punk bands/rock bands I have ever seen do an acoustic performance, whether it be the band or solo, this may very well be the best one.

[makedamnunderground]

seeing them next week :)

[NyShoZa]

Дякую

[HailTheGeek]

Exactly! o.O

[gaslightiltis]

i saw them twice the last two weeks.. awesome show, incredible feeling

absolutely amazing when you really feel the music ;)

[laxworld15]

you just don't hear people sing with this kind of emotion anymore

[TheOaklandBoy]

i totaly agree, acoustic songs are supposed to be sung with emotion and feeling but most musicians dont have the emotion or feeling to such a fantasic accoustic song. The Gaslight Anthem. x Love Them

[ErnestoMag]

Most songs don't have the same feeling, some can be sung with hatred which isn't too easy to see sometimes. Like Tom Gabel

[jamesthecoolk]

gonna be bigger than jesus

[xdoodahhx]

haha that was funny! but true i guess

[KyleLM18]

Nah, that's The Falcon.

[laxworld15]

ah the falcon, amazing absolutely amazing

[foreveroldxp]

Love it!

I saw The Gaslight Anthem in action, when I was at their concert. Def the best concert I've ever been to!

[guitarist0233]

love it.

and i actually want his hat :)

[pavement27]

this song is absolutely brilliant...The chorus still gives me chills and I've heard it about a 1,00 times...It still has that effect. That is amazing to me...

[farfetchedcat]

he looks like jay from jay and silent bob

great song

[sinkorswimmydear]

band of my life...band of the the next 10 years...hope they're not gettin too popular

[alkalinejeff]

Yeah, God forbid they get recognition for excellence.

[jokerxcore]

he apears to be in alot of pain everytimei here this song i get those chills you know what im talking about

[hartboy22]

un-fucking-real. this guy is god.

[branmoser]

gaslight kicks ass that's it
