The Cribs - I´m a realist @ late show with david letterman

[icemanbred]

@ supergamer87 he can play while he sings because he is baring chords

[markyramonefan]

@icemanbred actually, he hardly plays any chords in this song. pay atention to the vid and listen to the guitar parts, you'll see how Ryan is f**king amazing

[LoadUpOnGunz]

such an underrated guitarist..

[kwfmusic]

I know we're all asking but just how DOES Ryan sing, play such a good riff, and swing his leg like he does at 1:09 simultaneously?

[SuperGamer87]

How DOES he play the guitar like that while singing?

[ratty860997]

Well i live in Wakefiled where they are from originally and if i was them i'd move somewhere else too lol.

Great live band but i think they are much better in front of a decent crowd. I saw em at Leeds fest a few years back headlining the 2nd stage. Was by far the best band of the weekend the tent was going mental :)

[OToMb]

@ratty860997 im from Wakefield too and iv always loved the cribs but yes your right..i wouldn't blame them for moving away Ha

[SamuelEMPowell131]

I don't get how he sings and plays those guitar riffs. Gotta take some skill. My band actually just wrote a song we thought sounded like this one mixed with Jacqueline by franz ferdinand so we named it I'm a jacqueline. We played it at a battle of the bands and won first place. I'd love to hear what cribs fans think of it. If your interested in sparing a bit of time just search.

An Island's View - I'm a Jacqueline

another song we played was

An Island's View - Cute

[Peanut4348]

The Cribs = Best band in the World !!!

(but yeah - they do have better songs than this that they could have played)

[kovvvas]

I think this is their best!

[thebigmarvinski]

i guess you can't say "shit" on David Letterman :(

[kmryan182]

I know, it sucks you can't say it on American TV.. well depends on the channel lol.

[722777111]

I WAS THERE!!!

[TimboTechno]

[hahayourreadingthis]

haha howd the cribs end up in america?

[kmryan182]

Two of them live in Portland, Oregon.

[LAW12W]

I thought it was only Gary Jarman that lived in Portland?

[kmryan182]

Well, I meant after Johnny Marr joined. He lives in Portland because he is in Modest Mouse.

[LAW12W]

Oh yes course he does sorry. Thats how Johnny Marr got to join The Cribs, because he met Gary Jarman over in Portland.

[jjavelar]

I saw them live here in Portland OR for the KNRK fan session, and later @ the Wonder Ballroom; The were phenomenal!!!!

[kmryan182]

I saw them at thw Wonder Ballroom, it was freaking awesome!

[kdub10009]

@kmryan182 - yeah Gary lives in Portland and I think Johnny marr does now too (at least that's where they met, at a bbq). LOVE LOVE LOVE that Gary's in PDX.

[kmryan182]
