Matthew Good Band - Anti-Pop

[adjharry]

Oh really. I always thought it was a gnome...

[idioticminority27]

i have a friend who's throughing a halloween party, but she'd never play this because she listens to shitty music like my crap rainbows.

[newton3788]

can't even take the 'soda fizz' right.BAIG OFF!DO NOT detract from this gr8 \/ID!

[adelleda666]

WHAT IS ANTI-POP????

[Afacelessdeath]

My guess is, that it's against pop culture.

[DCMA247]

bingo.

[DCMA247]

anti-your-face, I'm trying to watch a music video!

[BigDumbJerk]

anti pop is anti pop culture. You like something for what it is. Not because its trendy.

[BigDumbJerk]

Hatred for CocaCola and Canada Dry.

[CintD09]

Dale Jr..

[JRKEMB]

I love this song so much

[gpphx]

years before travelocity!!! that little dude is my hero

[JRKEMB]

Too late...I hate you.

[l0rdjimmy]

These are so dumb. What is this?  some sort of horror movie? What will I die of? Are you going to come kill me? It'll be sad when the only ones left alive are gullible people and illiterates.

[mitchelcollins]

its kick ass that my favourite driver and my favourite artist happen to be friends...

[TinyHutch]

favourite driver?

[mitchelcollins]

dale jr's in it man...

[beerme0369]

Great song! One of quite a few MGB/Matt Good songs I would consider an anthem. We used to get Much before our cable system changed it to Fuse...

[acertainindifference]

Such an amazing song.

[chrislang14]

women in cages lol

[Batman10166]

MG is a God!! :) Kick ass song!!

[Mineav]

About time this song got some props. This is easily one of the last, best songs by MGB, but was largely ignored at the time. Regardless of the band that wrote it, though, it's just a fantastic song. Good to see it finally getting some views on 'tube.

[littleeisthewaytobe]

wow....this video is amazing, especially since dale jr was in it :)

[ThinLoneSoldier]

great fucking song...chorus is large, and in charge.

[xTashiiTash]

"I fucking hate dogs."

LOL, MG is love.

[ethereal2007]

Matthew Good is truly one of the last great artist of a generation! This video Rules!

[StrayCatLady]

love this video!!!

[chefluke52]

wats anti pop?

[brutus149]

An anti-Pope is a Pope, but not the "real" Pope

[brutus149]

The world needs another "Anti-Pope" 'cus Anti-Popes are the shit.

[bobba765]

who's junior

[utubejjk]

dale earnhardt Jr?

The guys friend?

DUH!

[apackofgum]

wow, i totally thought jr was the mgb drummer everytime i saw this video until reading the comments. they look a lot alike!

[hardknoxz]

the girl that the band playing strip poker looked like tila tequila!

[Telekaster17]

is that Dale Earnheartd?

[kylethecrackhead06]

rofl he does look like gorfon freeman and my friend Seth :O could they all be the same person :S

[PunknEmoLuvr]

it's junior!! lmao

[seeksthetruth7]

hahahahaha you guys that is all

[supppp23]

lol, women mouthing the words to a song they don't know. i hate that in music videos

[HolyBaptiser]

i love the disclaimer in the beginning

[mitchelcollins]

dale jr!!!

[Asthrou]

Would like to know the full story behind this video. Would be a very interesting one.

[HolyBaptiser]

uhhh first off, the guy who is with him is some guy who won a contest for getting a chance to be in a music video with your favourite musician, etc.. and the whole gnome thing is based on an urban myth about taking a garden gnome and taking pictures of it around the world or something.. i would tell you the whole thing if i felt like popping in the in a coma dvd and watch it with commentary but im not doing that...

just go buy In A Coma with the DVD.. matt good explains it all in the commentary

[grousemaster]

Uhhhh, first off the guy who is with him is...Dale Earnhardt Jr.!!!!! Heard of him?

Watch NASCAR at all? Dale Jr. is a big Matt Good fan and was originally supposed to be in the Carmelina video - but was stranded because of 9/11 and couldn't get to Canada.

So Matt decided on the gnome idea and came to Jr.'s house in S.Carolina for this vid. Where you get the "guy who won a contest" thing I'll never know - better lay off the holy water dude.

[lucasglubin]

You're both right in parts... It wasn't a contest. And I wouldn't call Junior a Matt Good fan; unless you call your friends 'fans' of yours... It's not a fan relationship, they're buddies.

[6sixsixx]

fucking lawn ornaments!!

[leekadams]

Ok, but comment on the video!! I saw your comments on Alert as well, and you are mean.

[VehementStorm]

Ok, seriously. Amelie did not 'invent' the roaming Gnome. It's a prank that's been around since the 80's. Stop saying 'Omg! he ripped it off! he's so unoriginal!'. That's just... stupid.

[DaveWMusic]

Anyone else horribly offended by the fact that everyone keeps ripping this concept off from Amile?

[sublimeade]

who's everyone? Matt Good did this in '03, the Travel Gnome did it like next year in '04, and I havent seen anyone else do it since then.

[Tnuggz420]

actually this did happen two guys stole a gnome and took it around the world then when they returned it they left a book of photos

[fadingnov]

Awesome song with a great video! The more into this band i get the more i want. Im also for anti-pop definately, and anti rap. these preppy thug ass wanna be's! F*ck em all! Rock aint dead yet......

[rickdikulous]

every idea for a video is reproduced, because most ideas have been used up. so lighten up. it's all about having fun

[zyclonb6]

No girls in cages, oh MrGood there goes the airplay...

[almondxjoy]

This video reminds me of the Little Rocket Man achievement in Half Life 2 : ep 2.

They even have that scene in the dune buggy on the beach.

[AaronOD]

lol hes no gordon freeman...or is he :P

[DEIGirl8]

LMAo I love Dale Jr he's awesome!! and i love MGB great combo and their friends

[Sierrx]

hell yeah :')

[gbnks]

Oh yea MG For life... & Yea I can dig IT!!

[thehigherdrake]

fucking awsome mg for ever CAN U DIG IT

[bets86]

ya'll just tired!

[sublimerules48]

ok so just relax "carlyandkyle"...

and that's Dale Earnhardt Jr in the video?

man am I canadian

[carlyandkyle]

So i think sublimeade should shut the fuck up because, from what I've read, he has caused nothing but anger in people trying to watch a brilliant work of art by a brilliant, EDUCATED man. I'd also like to see sublimeade pull something this good out of one his many assholes, buddy you need to find something better to do than piss people off.

[sublimeade]

BRILLIANT!! Apparently he not only directed/shot/produced/did-eve­rything in this video, he's also the whole Matthew Good Band. Apparently there is no band, just him. Yes he's great and you can j/o to him all day but he's an uneducated tool. fyad!! ps he stole the roaming gnome idea from the movie Amelie. i've taken dumps a thousand times smarter than you. pps you used "brilliant" twice in the same sentence, genius. read a book and get a vocabulary someday.

[TheNewColour]

Sick Song! ! Love It! Awesome!

[jasonmurray8899]

yup sure is jr

[Ewan161]

That's Dale Earnhardt Jr.

[goonyouknit]

lol is that the roaming gnome from travelocity!?

[sublimeade]

Travelocity & Matt Good copied the "roaming gnome" idea from ...

Amelie!

[zyclonb6]

um - I always apreciated Matt for being 'real' kinda messed that up with the private jet???

[joewright7]

Meh who cares if he has a plane, of course he can afford it he is a rly big artist, doesnt change who he is though

[Andrea320]

In the commentary for the video he says that the plane is Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s.

[zyclonb6]

??? ok...how do you figure? Regardless its not important . lmao Dale Earnheardts? the NASCAR driver? Yes I'm sure they 'hang' all the time - 'Hey D its Matt can I borrow your plane?'....have another toke sweetheart

[vostock83]

Actually Dale Earnhardt Jr is a huge Matthew Good fan, and they do hang out together. The guy who helps him steal the gnome is Earnhardt. Irregardless, the plane is a prop for the video, it is not an attempt for Matt to show off.

[jrbatfan]

HAHAHA! "How do you figure"? It's a fact. Yes, the NASCAR driver. Dale Jr. and Matt Good are really great friends because Jr. is a huge fan. They probably 'hung' out more back then, because Jr. is way busier now.

[digitaljetset]

Matt Good is great!

[charlesbronsonn]

the best of both worlds.... matt good forever

[charlesbronsonn]

not serious about ryan gosling

[charlesbronsonn]

listen canadains stop fighting matt good is you're national treasure just like ryan gosling. matt good is clearly the best musician on earth hands down so what is the argument (aboot) stop it. matthew good band forever.

[holyshizzah]

OMG AMP THAT.

i ooze pride that he is canadian and sooooo awesome!

[Danny26Green]

This is a tremendous video. Awesome song, cool prank.

[miranda1000]

U ALL SHUT UP AND STOP FIGHTING. i wish matthew good band never split up...

[moneyjism]

Yeah Matt Good has spent time at Dale Jr. house, I saw a video of him playing acoustic in there i forget where.

[jtathaizzosh]

Can't write a song eh? Have you much experience listening to his music or are you just judging this by the radio friendly hits you have heard on your favorite top 40 stations?

[bettina310]

I live in the US and I LOVE LOVE LOVE him/them. He said the funniest and true thing on one of his journal posts once. He said that the x-ray glass advertised in the back of comic books never work.

[sublimeade]

uh. kids said that 50 years ago, when comics started featuring those ads. that's the funniest and most true thing in human existence? doesn't take much to impress you.

[xXBuffyXJannetXx]

This video is cute. I love Dale Jr, but I have never heard if this band. They sound like a great band though.

[MattyCVee]

its cuz Matt Good is canadian...nobody down south knows about him.....he is awesome! he's kinda crazy.....but cool crazy haha

[TahoeJoe06]

Dale Jr. is from the south - he seems to know him.

[moesker]

hey sublimeade, why dont you take 20 breaths and calm the shit down man, its the internet, noone gives a shit about spelling

[sublimeade]

suck my balls

[cheeseUout]

good song......but the video made absolutly no sense at all

[natedoug420]

video makes perfect sense, you take someone famously abstract(Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and Matt. and get them to steal a gnome from some dude's house and take it across America for a trip. Just for the story of saying my gnome went on a vacation with matt Good and Dale jr. I mean how cool would that be. =o

[LSky]

great, video, awesome, song

[pumpkinking16]

love this song, awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[mrpopulistwpg]

Matt Good says things that everyone wish they could say to people in certain scenarios (re: work) that they cant stand but cant say anything!!!

[Hambow69]

how is matt good a fuckup? he has the number one album in canada at this point lol

[kitchen867]

this band was good. matt good is a fuckup

[Chains07]

thats dale earnhart jr with matthew goode.

[Chains07]

Americans arent literate...listen to the southern states...bunch of freaking dirt farmers...if matt goode was prime minister he wouldve bombed the states by now.

[TahoeJoe06]

That would be a good move - Canada drops the two post WWII bombs out of their one plane on the US- US Nukes Toronto and Montreal in response - wipes out 3/4 of Canadians. That would be nice.

[c3n1x]

You have issues, deep, deep, issues. Get a girlfriend and lighten up.

[nickbung]

You sir can go fuck yourself

[Rkeely]

lets hope those bombs all land on your house and fuck your ass up...

[anna42975]

I wonder how matt good and dale jr became friends?

[SVTCobra611]

Jr is a Matt Good fan. Me too for a long while now

[frustratednoname]

that's not a good advertisement for Yale or Harvard sublimeade.

[sublimeade]

and I assume the other President alums are.

[Skyus03]

OK he's not educated but he's smarter then you

[sublimeade]

lol and he must be smarter THAN you, because I would think most literate Americans know when to use the words "then" and "than".

[Skyus03]

Well I could care less if I use then or than

And I'm no America, I am Canadain.

[sublimeade]

well that explains it, you can't even spell your own nationality correctly. shitty public education. It's "Canadian", frenchie.

[Skyus03]

haha public education has nothing to do with it,

and I live in Calgary. I had a phenomenal Social studies teacher. And I'm going into grade 11. I just can't spell. But I guess my dad is somewhat a french Canadian.

[MShellProject]

wow...angry crowd

[rhcpkicks1]

travelocity gnome

[gibsonSG18]

sublimeade, that is the most bullshit comment i've ever read on youtube. Matt is an educated man, just because you don't attend college or university doesn't mean otherwise. In Matts case he has self educated himself on politics among numerous other things. As well he is a self taught guitarist, and his recent solo stuff is quite impressive in regards to technique and creativity. People who create art are by far more educated than a person with a 4 year uni degree

[sublimeade]

lol do you not understand what being "educated" MEANS? can you grasp the meaning of the word or is english your second language? Educated means someone has taught you something. If he's "self-taught" then OBVIOUSLY he wasn't educated. People who are educated go to school and get degrees. People who are simply creative don't qualify. And similarly, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. must also be a "self-taught" race car driver, and he must equally be a virtuoso at his craft.

Go back to school dummy.

[gkt4]

Actually Sublimeade, "educated" as an adjective can denote anyone who has displayed the qualities of having learned something. Although the term is usually used in reference with school instruction, it does not have to be so. Therefore stop acting like a smart-ass on the internet, I only did so because I saw your jackass post.

[LeJeeb]

I thumb you, good sir!

[sublimeade]

actually according to the OED its got to do with schoolin so youre wrong.

[MasterExploders]

If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.

-frank zappa

[emmthreejonny]

Best gnome video!

[ramijj]

Dale will be at MG's CD promo at XM radio DC in June.

[elroachae]

I've never understood why the fuck Dale Earnhardt Jr is in this video. Does it not seem like these two are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

[AnOceanPearl]

Matt and Dale are actually really close friends.

The more you know!

[elroachae]

Now that I think about it I may recall seeing them together else where once too. It still doesn't make much sense, Dale being the representative American-Redneck-Wal-Mart-Shop­per type and Matt being, well educated, and having all his teeth, he doesn't exactly appeal to that whole culture. Oh well, expectations are flawed.

[sublimeade]

Matthew Good isn't well educated, he never went to college. Dale has all 32 teeth. Oh well, generalizations are flawed ... smelly indie kid.

p.s. Bush went to Yale & Harvard - smoke that combover emo nerd.

[elroachae]

I said being representative. I didn't say being. And I left out my pause after well in reference to educated and it changed the whole context, that part's my fault.

[coolzeeky]

Best Band In the world!

[WayneB27]

Didnt know Matthew Good was friends with Dale Earnhart Jr.

[Mark1379]

Only song of his I dont care for.

[rorylallin]

nice 5 stars

[seeksthetruth7]

Hey, this is the REAL seeksthetruth7. My little shit nephew got my password and thought it would be funny to write some comments. I'm sorry if he pissed you off. I wouldn't go off like that and I am gonna whoop his ass.

[seeksthetruth7]

Sublimeade is a bitch. I just wanted to remind people that very little is original. I like the video even if it is not so original. I am ashamed to like Sublime because of his Nick.

[bubbastard]

Yeah I saw the travelocity commercial as well. I hope the film studio is getting some money out of that advertising agency...

[bubbastard]

This is not that old of a song. And he stole the idea of the garden gnome from a french movie called Amelie. NOT SO ORIGINAL!

[seeksthetruth7]

What is truly original?

[sublimeade]

What a faggot question?

[seeksthetruth7]

You mentioned fags, are you one?

[seeksthetruth7]

Delete my comments all you like, you are still A BEEEEOTCH!

[sublimeade]

What is a stupid question that serves to make yourself sound like you're smarter?

[seeksthetruth7]

I am a little above average in intellegence, sorry you have a pole up yer ass about it.

[greg307]

If you are so smart, why did you spell "your" wrong? Don't be so cocky, it'll bite you in the ass.

[sublimeade]

If YOU ARE SO SMART, WHY ARE YOU ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT ME WITH THE WRONG USAGE OF "YOUR"? I wrote "you're" as in "you are", not "your", the possessive adjective. "Your" does not make sense. Back to school, retard.

[sublimeade]

yeah I saw the video first and the movie a lil later and thought the vid was pretty original. was disappointed when I saw it in Amelie (one of the classics of this decade). Then Travelocity copied it as well for people who haven't seen the movie or the vid.

[seeksthetruth7]

I do not care, I like this video even if the Idea is not truly original.

[corleonis87]

Actually, the idea of authorship and originality is a highly debated topic within modern art. So, the question proposed earlier is very valid.

[seeksthetruth7]

It's not Matt Good of first to last. It is Matt Good of Vancouver.

[HydesRain]

I do belive it's Matt in this video, this is an old song. He should be about 26 or 27 in this one.

[seeksthetruth7]

Five gnomes out of Five.

[CHAOSDEATHCULT]

I know! Time is flying...

[TechnoBoom]

35? holy already?

[sublimeade]

naw those guys are like teenagers/early 20's. matthew good is 35

[80swhore]

This is my fave Matthew Good video.
