Alkaline Trio - Burn (Live On Craig Ferguson)

[RLYjake]

What the fuck is up with the black lipstick

[skywarp82]

They are actually playing live, but using the original song in the background, like piano, b vocals and some snare in the verses. 1:17 you can hear backing vocals but either Dan or Derek are singing.

[brenhampsten]

matt looks like a straight up pimp

[poisonrain87]

I hate to be the one that points this out, because I think this was a marvelous performance, but at 1:51 Derek scratches his nose with his left hand and is only hitting the hi hats with his right, yet the snare sound happening. Did he pantomime to the recording?

[zhobbit]

@poisonrain87 No, he's not playing along to a recording. You can hear the absence of beats from the snare. What you're still hearing is the kick.

[poisonrain87]

@zhobbit thank you very much. I didn't really believe he was, but i just wanted to see what other people thought

[minusjason]

@zhobbit Sure sounds like a snare to me.

[minusjason]

@poisonrain87 He's not scratching his nose, he's moving his mic closer to his mouth.

[BurdenRust]

Matt Looks like The Somnambulist off the movie the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari...look it up!!!

[tbot1995]

I saw these guys on Wednesday. Matt wore eyeliner. <3

[Coltronamore]

If you look at 1:53, Derek is fixing his mic and never hits his snare, but where does that snare hit come from? Just thought that was an interesting mistake.

[VitriolWeaponized]

@Coltronamore

Clearly a loop playing under the verses....just like the album version.

[aof36]

@Coltronamore He's just that fast with his sticks you didn't see it.

But seriously, nice pick up. Maybe they used a backing track. It happens. I still love em.

[tamamikedd]

@Coltronamore He is using a sample pad. It's off to the side of the snare.

[tamamikedd]

@Coltronamore He is using a sample pad. It is to the left of the snare.

[TheJameySuede]

I would love to see a Dan song on Letterman or the like... not that I'm not SkibaCore, just in the interest of sharing haha.

[mrsjimdean]

i LOVE when skibs wears makeup

[hhfan21]

2:31 interlude, they have that ghastly attack effect, like that in "In The Air Tonight" and Family Guy (LMAO, had to throw it in)... but seriously, it's a neat little thing to do with your vocals... though they had a sample going in this show.

[can8ianinsurgent]

lol skiba totally looks like boy george in this vid

[tropicobear]

Now I quite like alkaline trio, and i love this song, but my god his singing here is AWFUL!! I actually couldnt watch past the bridge part cause I was cringing too much :(

[lillington]

@tropicobear - disagree. He hits it pretty solid.



[FadedSmileBand]

they were so dark back then:D

[BeeTatty]

i want that guitar effect at the beginning!

[thebrianwilson]

@BeeTatty delay+phase=totally sick! 

[BeeTatty]

@thebrianwilson ha that makes sense. thanks :)

[jasyn197]

love alkaline trio was a fine ever since they came out i am so sad i missed them this year at the warped tour

[lmcafnxma]

amazing, but hes gotta take off the lipgloss, im sorry its just a no for me.

[superchampable]

alk sucks ass. songs are so f in borinig. cant belive they are on a lable

[KamonAndKenya]

@bglad4life You think they're gay?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? You have no clue how much I wanna hurt you right now! You know what gay is? Do YOU?!?!? Or are you some stupid 13 year old that wants to be cool so tries to make the REAL cool people look stupid to feel better about yourself?!?!?!?!?!?!? HUH?!?!?!?

[KamonAndKenya]

GRRR I LOVE ALKALINE TRIO

[KamonAndKenya]

@MsChainsaw1 Ugh, I hate people that say, "Oh yeah I paid like, 100 bucks to get into an Alkaline Trio concert..." and you weren't able to go, and they went JUST to tick you off because they know you love Alkaline Trio! I also hate it went people start to say "Alkaline Trio's soooo cool!" just because they know you've been obsessing over them so they do that JUST to be 'in'. I like Alk3, and want them to suceed but when people start saying, "Oh yeah I love the Trio" for no reason makes me so mad

[dexterscolfield]

really great = D

[MsChainsaw1]

omg i hate anyone who was there bc they probably ddnt even kno who the trio were

[hloitam]

whats the song at the end?

[greendayman182]

that song gets better every time i hear it i fukin love them!!!!!!

[KeirJames]

haha theyve changed so much. And they are awsome live, iv seen them twice, both times awsome! :]

[guitarhero9392]

yea. i saw em back lst year, no autotune, sounded pretty good, altho a lil weak towards the end, but so am i when i sing that long a show.

[guitarhero9392]

who gives a fuck about the make up?!

its the music that matters. matt doesnt sound great, but he didnt really take care of his voice back then either.

[EthMan09]

@guitarhero9392 yeah, his voice here is.... well, ok. he sounds either somewhat flat or sharp, not so sure. but its better than them using autotune, which they use now-a-days.

[bglad4life]

Really? Makeup?? Why the fuck were they trying to be gay? How fucking disturbing!

[seabasss666]

i hate how they wore make up during this era (crimson) so fucking gay!!

[hunterhead]

monkey, from the adicts wore makeup. so did gene simmons and the rest of kiss.

plus, it shouldn't matter what they look like/wear.

check out "h2o what happened?". matt skiba's part is great, make up free too :p

[EthMan09]

he sounds like he has a cold, not the greatest performance. Love the song, but still. I think this is before they started using autotune

[sk8ratattack]

fuck autotune. the guy sounds fine. go listen to kanye.

[CantankerousD]

@sk8ratattack lmao

[2020Kris]

shut up

[RedBlocks]

i dont agree with you, he sounds good as ever

[BrandonHerritt]

what's autotune?

[mx22man]

wtfs with the makup

[dmon715]

he always used to wear it during the crimson days. sometimes he wears some live nowadays too

[nicoteenage]

@dmon715

during the crimson days?... you say that like crimson is an old album. skiba has always worn make up on certain occasions. and they began dressing up like this more towards good mourning after. but anyone that play on tv usually has make up done..

[dmon715]

yeah i hear you.

They def wear make up on tv... but not powerderd faces and black eye liner haha. im not complaining though... i like it on skiba, makes it more goth-esque. Suits the music.

[keithmurf426]

They dont really dress up like this. Well at least not the show i have seen and not on any "real shows and not this TV CRAP!!!! i mean that in a good way. not the tv part though.

[ioenar]

I've seen them live twice and both times they dressed like old men

[pra51]

fuckin awesome !

[ArtEternal]

One class performence.

Top of my list of things to do before I die is to see them live.

[writeonyourhand]

ive seen them twice, they are ill live

[andr123w]

ahhh i was hoping that was the p90 special but its just the goldtop. still a great guitar

[whitedwarf05]

lol dan was bored

[Xtremebyrd2k6]

matts voice cracks a lot in this video good song they played a lot better before still best band ever

[theblackparade44]

is the backing track for the drums playing in the back ground?

[Arthur3batera]

notice that... But Derek stoped playing and you can hear the snare beating. He wouldn't be stupid to stop in the middle of a back ground... I think the bass make the sound of that second snare... I really can't tell you but I also notice that.

[Arthur3batera]

how? He don't even reach it with he's knee. At least I couldn't see. Could you please send the right time that you saw that?

[BrenMan94]

My bad, that was him hitting the bass drum really hard. lol

[Arthur3batera]

Lol, than the mistery continues... :( Don't worry :D

[xoashleyx89]

Apparently, this was before they got into using auto tune heavily. I appreciate the non-Cher tone, but not the flat vocals.

[05jeilts]

Derek plays an undead warlock

[TheConditionTube]

Man Dereck had cool hair.

[BrenMan94]

This is the best version of this performance on YouTube. Alk<3 roxorz my boxorz.

[funkyfleabass]

Daniel is one the best (punk)bassplayers out there in my opinion!

[Brianmelso]

@funkyfleabass Matt Freeman from Rancid is one of the most talented punk rock bassists

Search Maxwell Murder - Rancid 1 minute into the song

[aof36]

@Brianmelso While Matt is pretty badass, one of the strengths he has in Rancid is that they're your original punk band. fast and rough. That's where Matt Freeman's skills seem to come on hand, he can play really fast and pretty damn well, but that doesn't make him the greatest punk or rock or just pure bass players. Dan is a great bassist, guitarist, lyricist, vocalist and all round musician. Based on that, Dan wins.

But the best bass player ever has to go to Les Claypool. that man's a beast.

[DarkonNewgrounds]

@funkyfleabass thats not opinion.... that's fact.

[slight1495]

such a sick performance!

[coolUgst]

When was this!? (awesome!!)

[dmon715]

this.. is.. marvellous. 5 stars.
