He's not. Believe it or not, the repeating three note high thing is a cheapie Zoom drum machine (with a scale mode) playing patterns thought a wee distorted Vox amp. He just starts and stops with a footswitch. I couldn't figure it out either 'til I read it in an interview!
@TheDallyLama Really? I always thought it was pretty popular. I think the most underrated songs by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are Countdown, Deja Vu, and Blow Hard, and they're also three of thier best songs in my opinion. I guess anything by them compared to the popularity of Maps is nothing though XD
really? i think sometimes she doesn't sound great live, especially for the bigger events, but there are a ton of performances where her vocals are top notch. it just depends on the song and her movement...and maybe her sobriety. lol.
I love that Brian is eating some pills before starting to play :)

I would hate to be in a band with a frontwoman. Nobody cares about the band, just her haha

@DrivenBlack yea i noticed that too.. why do rock artists do this? is it a style thing like how black athletes wear their caps a little to the side?

they need to not edit her voice so much for studio songs because live she sounds way different.

@suprockyo she probably sounds way different because shes most likely drunk, adrenaline pumped and moving around all the time catching her breath

It was awesome until Karen started to sing. I really dont like her live performances, tho guitarist and drummer are both great.
