NME Video: Gogol Bordello @ Reading Festival 2007

[callum7070]

i love that shirt, where did he get it

[telegramsam]

HE LIKES NEUBAUTEN. He just got 1000000x cooler in my eyes now.

[HevyMetalHomeBoy]

i vote gogol bordello to play at Seattle Hempfest!

[hippietoadable]

pretty much 90% of these comments are about his mustache, and although that seems a bit ridiculous, it's not hard to see why... i hated mustaches until i saw this man.

[mrremuff]

This was examplatory.

[CaptainStridum]

If a man with a mustache like that came up to me, I would jump on him. Oh, yes.

[animegrrl5k]

I LOVE his accent!!

[Tentacleed]

Without the moustache he looks too cool in Everything Is Illuminated, a really good movie, you should all see it, Eugene is a great actor!

[612franklin]

New America

[baufuckinghaus]

god, i love him.

[lalawilks]

That mustache is the stuff of dreams.

[gpeddino]

He has a beautiful face. Without the moustache he would look freaking hot.

[ivahnsean]

he lived here in vermont for years. we would go see the fags every weekend. good times.

[ZLUGGO]

He's really tring hard to speak with that Ukrainian accent.

[Dazanin1]

@ZLUGGO I kind of doubt it. He lived in Ukraine for a good while and ended up being a refugee around Europe after the Chernobyl catastrophe for most of his life.

[ZLUGGO]

@Dazanin1

Ok. Sorry then.

[iluvharrydraco]

He looks like my dad.

[analbuttshit]

eugene fuckin hutz's upper lip; where mustaches go when they die:}D

[brennash413]

That's hilarious how they had stowaways on their equipment trucks. Especially them all of all bands shouldn't give a shit! :P

[beshem]

I love Eugene's mustache...oh. my. god.

[ashleycostello4]

he's actually not a 'Kike" though...

[clydearrows]

gogol bordello are playing in the o2 academy in scotland cant fucking wait looking forward to seeing them

[tsustudio205]

I want what this guy is on. For real.

[HollandHolland08]

@tsustudio205 thats whats mad, hes not on anything, just loads and loads of spirits

[AnarchyIsNotChaos319]

...life?

[Nueroactive]

What an accent huh? FAKE!

[mrpenguin159]

Hey dumbass his accents real

[enjoixander]

Oh yeah, you dumb mother fuckin idiot. His accent is real for a fuckin east coast fuckin kike! Shit the fuck up you undiscerning fucking moron!

[xxdelta77xx446]

He's from Ukraine, not fake. People from Ukraine don't fake Ukrainian accents.

[LittleItch09]

@xxdelta77xx446 Agreed. I can't even believe someone would say that he is faking accent.

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

he's so funny .

[Pataqeiro]

LOVE THESE GUYS ! I would fucking marry them . x ' )

[aimodiaz]

this mustache kills fascists!!

[rebcham]

thanks for mentioning einsturzende neubauten and nick cave. :)

[codeaires]

Mr. Hutz is ethnically Ukranian and Roma and was raised throughout Europe. He came to the US as a refugee. He's not a faker for fuck's sakes.

[mrremuff]

@codeaires Who the fuck cares where he comes from? he's a goddamn musican.

[FunkyArgentinean]

@mrremuff Without his upbringing he would've most likely never become a musician so I guess it matters where he comes from.

[mrremuff]

@FunkyArgentinean I don't know man.. most likely?

What do you know? What do I know?

All i say is that people get too fucking caught up with where one or the other fucking comes from.

[mythicaljake]

Ukranian. And he does a bloody good job of it too

[VespaDreams]

my mom speaks french for 20 years but still has her balkanic accent...its just like that. my romanian friend has an accent shes 18 and is in canada since age 7...sooo..AND HE IS HOT!

[jabolaola]

Ukraina rzadzi!!!

[25plasma]

he is hot!!!!!!

[prettymuchaaron]

crazy jävel. GYPSY PUNKARE FÖR LIVET!!!

[chvishal]

why does he have this very American accent that creeps in every now and then.

[Veggieforce]

hes been in the states since at least the 80's- his accent may be a gimmick...either way hes great :)

[Sheblobbers]

I knew this guy from Austria and he told me that if you keep your accent past age 13 you tend to keep it forever, but if you move and lose it before then... you won't get it back.

idk.. he was a little weird though.. lol

I choose to believe his accent is real. :-)

[notasfunnyaswethink]

because he spends time in america?

[chvishal]

oh...makes sense..

i thought maybe he was faking his(gypsy?) other accent..

[Solechnaya]

Probably all the time he has lived in New York has had an influence.

[optimist4you]

yes, in Brighton Beach ;)

[quote55]

Eugene Is the greatest singer ever

[adelina6362]

look up for Nikolaj Gogol: the same face

[Beneficiary]

[Itszend]

[N00dl3z]

''I played like... 2000 festivals in the last three years'' XD

[shambala1988]

You gotta see him in Movie - Everything is Illuminated. It is amazing :):):)

[donArtista]

Can you tell me in wich movie he plays?

[shambala1988]

the movie is called - Everything is Illuminated, it is a great movie and he plays awesome and he also plays in Madonnas movie Filth and Wisdom. :)

[Dietsche]

Everything Illuminated

[vickomf]

HAHA i like his accent :) RESPECT FROM PUERTO RICO

[lilhottycho]

lmao! That's hilarious!

[queenoflamesauce]

Prima!

[spanishcaravan]

Eugene looks like a gypsy Vincent Gallo. I like their sound a lot.

[skofadown]

u ppl have no soul!! he is not old and he is sooooooooooooooooooooo unbelievable sexy!!!i would lick vodka off of every surface of his body!!!!!!

[mindingosafado]

he looks like 25/27ish to me

[SKEETSURFING25]

saw them that weekend they were awesome

[gregorymwishart]

do not shrink me gypsy

[pklepack]

how old is he? he looks older that someone who would have "grown up listening to nick cave." he does live a hardcore lifestyle though, thatll age ya

[mipevo6]

Funny, love this band, seeing them at the Roundhouse later this month.. and love Nick Cave and saw him a week ago at the Troxy :-) been a good year for live music

[pandolfitow]

well, i'm growing up listening to nick cave too.

[flatline626]

Supposedly he's 36. I think that seems believable. He probably seems alot older here due to it being after the set.

[lepermissiah]

love him ;)

[EnglishHenley]

don't get me wrong .. i really admire the guy .. but 2000 festivals in 3 years when there is only 1095 days in 3 years ? lol

henley

[PunkErik218]

hyperbole

[rancid4eva]

He's so hot.

[blackboy1367002]

I so want to go hang out with eugene!

[kwnnaflowerpower]

i adore him, he's so perfect!

[ManolisTurbo]

"Examplatory" is not a word shithead.

[TheTiredWanderer]

in case you didn't know his first language isn't english.

[aprill93]

neither is unvisible zedo pronounced zed, but here we are

fuck wit

[MerlinTheYeti]

Get fucked. Write a good song and play the main stage at reading.

[gibbons91]

[Xenospore]

[TheAdamantineArrow]

LOOKIT THAT POWERFUL MUSTACHE!

[polka994]

Gypsy Rock & Roll Machine=]

How can you not love this guy?!

[violentpacifist]

I've seen better interviews with him, I think he's a bit hungover in ths vid.

[sev24]

I think he's a bit hungover in every vid! :D

[RandomNigel]

Eugene is totally brilliant.

Not to mention both his mustache and his accent are totally and completely ace.

[AlexanderROCKS518]

I LOVE Gogol Bordello! they rock!

[qwertypluss]

what the hell is EXEMPLETORY

lol

[Iderivedfromanimls]

Are you kidding me?

it means an example... probably a good one.

it's a big random word, put 2 and 2 together.

[qwertypluss]

lol fair enough

do his songs really qualify as indie / rock?!

[rkbadger101]

it's not a word; exemplary is. that's what he meant

[aikighost]

Is Gogol bordello in an indie label? If no then no, its just good music is all.

[qwertypluss]

that is not good music. he is appaling. please someone tell me what is good about him, so I can at least attempt to appreciate him

[qwertypluss]

that is not good music. he is appaling. please someone tell me what is good about him, so I can at least attempt to appreciate him

[777v666]

He can sing and play guitar. Can you do any of those better than him?

[qwertypluss]

I seriously reckon my guitar skills are close to him. Good thing about me is im not a pillock.

[aprill93]

to think he's a pillock is a paradox

[qwertypluss]

Why the fuck didn't you just say he's not a pillock. Fucking retard. Ok battyboy, I'll speak like a toff like your honky self.

Your grandiloquence, in my humble opinion, is tantamount to buffoonery. I will now fornicate with your maternal progenitor.

[gkid60]

LOL!!!

[noahvrgas]

douchebag

[Tommathy]

you're a fuckhead lol, you tried to make yourself sound ULTRA intellectual by posting comments with more complicated words in them but you really just make yourself sound like a fuckhead honestly

[qwertypluss]

Oh you're a dumbfuck, didn't realise that. If you knew anything about sarcasm, that post showed that I was mocking the other guy, and if you see below, at least someone understood it. Now go away "fuckhead", learn some stuff at school.

[MerlinTheYeti]

Ah, you see, young grasshopper... nobody gives a shit about guitar skill or speed. Its about the quality of the songs you write. Thats why speed metal isnt generally very popular.

So really, you're a twat whos a bit too far up your own arse.

Ha... youtube arguments...

[qwertypluss]

oh well... i just don't have quality :S

I have better technical skill, without a doubt though. and I don't mind.

[Roxxenne]

I love this man!

[AhCrap1]

HOLY SHIT, he listened to Nick Cave!

[aikighost]

And Einsturzende Neubauten, thats the one that got me.

[twentyjan]

love that guy.

[Tron1276]
