Even cowgirls get the blues - The Gaslight Anthem '59 sound

[OECisLame]

i love how he sings "can i get a witness pretty baby"

[Mrkdg1985]

I know this probably sounds very strange but somehow I think it would sound great if they make a song with that Lana Del Rey girl. I mean, they really look and sound like they come out of a different time and a different place and they will somehow look like a great match.

[meeshlv]

@KingHish

It sure is.

[stilettosareanono]

This is so beautiful.

[KingHish]

You know that one song every band has which makes their fans fall in love with their music? This is the song my friends! :)

[laurablakex]

Heard this live, one year ago today, on my 21st birthday :) Wish I could see them again for this birthday!

[poezienellie]

@laurablakex

congrats! xx

[RHSSCHTV]

Saw TGA Last saturday, Amazing.

[DistortionUK]

Sooo beautiful. They played this at download festival and EVERYONE was singing along, it was magical. I hadn't heard of these before Download but they seemed like genuinely nice guys and create such meaningful music. <3

[aewsl]

By far the best Gaslight song

[skatepunkzero]

A Springsteen and a Tom Petty Tribute in one

[1234LETStartAwar]

always takes me back to that day

[redbloodyhands]

i didn't even notice the dislike button...

[Underpaid1817]

this band for some odd ass reason reminds me of last year and my ex girlfriend I think it will for the rest of my life which is pretty sweet

[ryanscott1980]

wow that was amazing

[jamaal57g]

He says acres foo.

[acskaggs]

wtf guise,

"traded their memories for Fairview and acres."

[matwilkinson15]

first time i heard this song was at reading 2010. admittedly i was beyond that point of drunk when anything you do get classed as your own fault, so i decided i already knew the words.

[theirresistableE]

did he just say what i think he said? at 0:34? tell me he didn't say what i think he just said.

[duschmops]

@theirresistableE ? o.O

[danzig801]

@theirresistableE niggers?

[laurablakex]

@danzig801 "traded their memories for fairview and ACRES" :)

[danzig801]

@laurablakex ya ahahah 

[dcdude171]

@theirresistableE knickers is what he said lol

[theirresistableE]

@dcdude171 thanks. lol.

[195lukh]

the three people who do not like them didn't get the blues xD

they smell like shit =D

[kaylakaaos]

These boys make me proud to be from jersey. What a great band.

[Krishnaisgod]

@MusicFiend2310 Oh cool! Sorry for the misunderstanding dude! Yeah i have very broad tastes in Music and some poeple are amazed when they find that i like Post Hardcore, All types of Metal, Blues, R&B, Motown, Hip Hop, Classical etc etc etc

But i understand man i'm the same with Dance Music...i respect it, but its just not my thing unfortunately! haha

[Krishnaisgod]

@MusicFiend2310 I don't get why Idie Rock guy's and Metal Heads hate rap...you obviously don't listen to proper uncommercial rap like Mos Def or Nas where they rap about a wide variety of subject matters ina mture way.

I personally think every style of music on this earth has something to contribute. For example i dont like Death Metal or Black Metal but i sill have tremndous respect for the Musicianship and skill those guys display!

[crazybabe484]

god i love this song

[ohaiitskrissy]

i made love to a man with a sweet beard while this album played. best night ever.

[NoGunnersAllowed]

@ohaiitskrissy I'm happy for you, but this album is really for when there's no one to make love to and nothing but cheap beer to drink.

[ohaiitskrissy]

@NoGunnersAllowed i mean, i get that, but im just throwing it out there lol so oh well.

[NoGunnersAllowed]

@ohaiitskrissy Thanks - wasn't putting down your experience, since what happened when we heard some music becomes a permanent part of it for lots of us. Just throwing my own thing out there, too. "Sweet beard" guy still around?

[ohaiitskrissy]

@NoGunnersAllowed actually no he is not.

[BassistBill1988]

@ohaiitskrissy So essentially it remains a good song for those lonely nights with a case of beer when, of course, you've got someone on your mind. You can't listen to this band and not remember something or someone from the past, recent or otherwise.

[NoGunnersAllowed]

@BassistBill1988 So what are the songs that let you NOT remember?

[BassistBill1988]

@NoGunnersAllowed Touche. Nah, some songs are flat and serve entirely no purpose other than to amuse someone. For example, Monosyllabic Girl by NOFX. Although I suppose that could make you remember a girl you knew. Gaslight Anthem digs for heavier memories though.

[acaash]

LOL, now I'm going to go listen to some Springsteen and Tom Petty haha.

[largebehind]

Fucking tune

[vicusvita]

The three people who dislike this are clearly deaf...

[mat778]

@vicusvita Or have a different taste in music then you

[PeaceNina2]

das lied is ja ma geil

[chuckmastazero]

best song on "59' sound"

[clintcabriolet]

richtig gut !!!

[mcar94]

CAN I GET A WITNESS PRETTY BABY?

1:32

Awesome

[elcocobochum]

These guys got me hooked on their music one song at a time...

[KaterBaerserker]

One of the best Songs i've ever heard from one of the best Bands i've ever heard!

[bLitz72]

screw the radio these days, I'd rather listen to these guys!!

[dcdude171]

@bLitz72 there on the radio .....

[suprTOONCES]

This is definitely one of their best songs.

[Goronto]

I am a huge metal head, but I absolutely love this band! I worked security for one of their shows on their tour through Canada and they are all awesome, really friendly people! They sounded exactly the same live as they do on CD! So good!

[punlax]

@Goronto i know man there pretty fuckin dope

[punlax]

@Goronto

[emileiblue]

Beautiful song.

[patriotsfan3675]

I love the Gaslight Anthem but this is my least favorite by them

[clarencelamb]

Enough said...goodnight...

[valvalmonster]

@MusicFiend2310 : Who mixes punk, rock, folk and the blues, and in an entirely different way from Gaslight? Two Gallants, that's who! Check them out. I love these guys too though<3 I SITLL LOVE TOM PETTY SONGS AND DRIVIN OLD MEN CRAZY!

[HurricaneWho]

Hey man my two favorite bands are these guys and The Killers and I think the lyrics in both bands songs are deep and great. They have different writing styles. That's a good thing right? Whatever, great bands, great music, their influences are obvious and awesome so who cares, just enjoy it right?

[gazoneill101]

MusicFiend2310.... ur opinion is so true !!!

[LetTheBikesOut]

i think thats why i like them so much as well. i love the folk inspiration in every song. i love the way there's so much emotion in his voice. i love the lyrics. i love the music. and they're amazing live. i discovered them while they we're on tour with Rise Against. probably the best show of my life.

[foxborogreennetwork]

the difference between the gaslight anthem and the killers is the gaslight anthem sing with passion and the killers sing like yeah im making money for doing this who cares if were comforming or not

[turtlesrulepenguins]

love this song

[ThisIsLukePi]

Love springsteen like no other, gaslight anthem are fantastc, an amazing new band, killers can go and boil their fucking heads, what a pil of shite, they dont come anywhere near to getting my approval

[108pwnz0r]

I wasn't aware a band needed your approval to be considered good

[ThisIsLukePi]

They need my approval to be considered 'good'...by me. Which is all that can be done anyway. Music is just about personal opinion. I think they're shite, which is why they dont have my approval, you may like them which is why they do have your approval, thats all i meant dude.

[rloebe34]

"

I haven't seen Sandy, and Johnny, or Mary

I heard they got married" All Springsteen characters. Sandy, Johnny and Mary are really common people in Bruces music. No doubt a Bruce little tribute. Fuckin love it

[ryan1234821]

@rloebe34 It's "Angry Johnny", not "and Johnny", no doubt a reference to their earlier song "Angry Johnny and the Radio".

Sorry, just had to be pedantic! :)

[jtdevrieze]

@rloebe34 its angry johnny

[ozeiyo]

@rloebe34 I think the song says "angry Johnny", who is a character from The Gaslight Anthem

[TheLouwee23]

this band gots some musical style no doubt.

[1stAprilMCR]

I saw them at oxegen in ireland waiting for another band to come on and love them since. Nobody's head of them over here though:(

[mrmendead]

noones where i live has heard of them either. =[

[1stAprilMCR]

yah its pretty much jus da states dat dey r big in :(

[K4driver2]

@1stAprilMCR

sadly western PA has not heard of them much either....yet. Hope Fully American slang changes that.

[MrCorey10]

These guys r quite good i just happened to stumble upon them and i like what i hear.

[yankees020]

saw them at terminal 5. and already have my tickets for their show in the wellmont in NJ. fucking love gaslight

[freerangejesus]

Every song of theirs reminds me of The River by Bruce Springsteen...That and The Killers...Not a bad thing, i'm really enjoying this :)

[shambles42]

the killers are shit. gaslight are much better. fair enough they sound abit like bruce, but not that much. but putting the killers in the same talent pool as these is ridiculous! killers are shit and have been since their second album.

[SaturdaySoundOffsTV]

Killers are awesome. Gaslight fans of any album should enjoy Sam's Town since that was Springsteen-influenced.

[SaturdaySoundOffsTV]

Not sure why this posted all the way up here, but the Killers were mentioned in another post :)

[shambles42]

just because i like springsteen and gaslight doesnt mean i have to like the killers though, i feel they are far too predictable. but nevermind. its all opinion anyway :)

[ThisIsLukePi]

I disagree, personally i dont hear anything by the boss in sams town. Thats just my take. You may hear otherwise. I don't like killers, never have done. But they are succesful so they must be doing something right...i guess.

[MrBirdlady92]

Then again Soulja Boy is successful, and as far as I know he's never done anything right.

[LilyFrejaXoxx]

they reallly!!!! need to come back to england :( ... i love themm <333

[mrmendead]

yay finaly another english persons that likes them =]

[LilyFrejaXoxx]

yeahh! no one i know ever heard of them before i showed them |: they dont know what they missing (':

[mrexia]

I'm going to see them in Philly on Oct 18th with this girl I like...but she doesn't like me the same way...it sucks

[mikawar1124]

They are coming to D.C. i think it would be disrespectful to not go

[myfriendfreckle]

THEY'RE COMING TO BOSTON I'M SO EXCITED!!!! i love them. <3

[3Megzz]

best song ever.

[MrBirdlady92]

Has anyone seen the movie "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues"? It's probably the weirdest movie I've ever seen.

[xxhanababessxx]

<33 awesome. love this band.

[drhorrible1]

I know how to play this on guitar, bummer I'm a girl or I could've sung it too :/

[shambles42]

you could still give it a go? its good to hear diff versions of songs, you would put your own unique twist on it.. just a thought.

[corpsecamp]

great song!!

[popeye89200]

love this song, i'm having trouble finding a good tab/chords for it as well though. albums pretty amazing as well :)

[1223dude1223]

i cant find a good tab for this, it sux. "this song is GRRRRRREAT"- tony the tiger

[Toskabov]

does anyone know the chords that are used in this song?

[ratonthehallway]

intro: g#m H F# g#m

verse: g#m F# E H

chorus: g#m H F# g#m

interlude: E H F#

that's how i play it.

if you want the whole tab, mail me

[gregorycarnielutube]

what king of note is H ?

somewhere between G and A?

[ratonthehallway]

i play it as powerchord A string 2 fret

[tcpjunkie44]

H is B... i believe it is german to label B as H

[vemeone]

classic

[markthesteedreed]

well how could we? all of the bands that he listens to are the best bands, and we cant even argue.

[cyanidemusic]

haha yea if some one knows summin different to him they must be wrong.

pathetic people on youtube, slating for no reason, get a life!

[smuttyproduckshuns]

my list of bands i wanna see

5. Futureheads

4. Foals

3. Bloc Party

2. Gaslight Anthem

1. Violent Femmes

Number 2 is good enough :)

But Violent Femes are amazing not this kind of music but you might like them

Im not promoting anything btw

[TomFromJersey]

nobody cares

[PearseCobwebs]

I care

[TomFromJersey]

But that's it

[Alimente3]

i care

[Rocky0012]

i dont

[flip9]

your a stupid face

[Shaun32887]

So sad, you can't have a good band without having a few elitist fans.

Grimey, kindly shut the hell up. Thanks.

[bluejeanbaby27]

I dont even know who these guys are but HOLY SHIT! HOW COULD I NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THEM BEFORE! Hot damn.

[oidramz]

das lied macht süchtig!!!

[Kamper66]

I FUCKING LOVE THEM !

[crw2573]

quit reading kerrang! and go to Rolling Stone...They still do a lot of bad stuff, but you eventually pick up on what the good stuff is by reading between the lines in their articles.

[wollebaum18]

amazing song

i wish i could see them live

[assleyyyyyy]

i love this song.

:D

[Guitarguy1284]

someone tell me if you find guitar tabs or make a video on how to play it desperate to play

on guitar!

[oidramz]

awesome band!!!

awesome song!!!

awesome album!!!

[Grimeyhoob]

I love Gaslight anthem, but Kerrang really choose bands to support randomly. I mean Kerrang support Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet for my valentine, two ridiculously generic and utterly superficial bands. On the other hand Kerrang acknowledges the greatness of a band like Thrice by really giving their albums great praise and then forgets about them and goes back to supporting Fall out boy, 30 seconds to mars and Avenged Sevenfold?

Im glad theyre supporting one decent band here.

[cyanidemusic]

just amazing band. im supprised how much Kerrang are supporting them. i love it! and i listen to heavy metal

[Grimeyhoob]

cyanidemusic, I hope you dont listen to crap like Bullet for my valentine and trivium, because if you do, Im 100 % sure you have no clue about the depth and integrity of Gaslight anthem. No offence, but anyone who reads kerrang can never possibly like decent music, with the exception of gaslight anthem.

Kerrang is a thirdclass magazine for 8 year old kids who wear skinny jeans and use hairspray every day. Its all fashion and image and little else.

[cyanidemusic]

well yea i like BFMV and Trivium, but so what, you wount find much rock music i don't like. and i don't get you, i really appriciate this band for being good so why make an issue ?

[fasteddief]

You tosser, 'depth and integrity'? you sound like one of those fuckin beatniks. You can't know about the 'depth and integrity' unless a) you know the band personally or b) they told you about it/published it.

What makes you think your so highly qualified? do you have a degree in music appreciation?

[cdudeNYR]

lol chill dude. let him rant. you'll just aggravate him

[milf392006]

TRUE DAT!

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

amazing

[jtwford]

Great song off a great album.

These guys should be the biggest band in the world.
