Jacob reminds me of Ian Curtis epilepsy dance (a little) , however I think he is phenomenal! :P

[MordekaiJu]

What kind of guitar is Jacob using? anyone?

[PhsycadelicRock]

@MordekaiJu i am wondering the exact same thing!!! I know it is a Gibson but what model???? This is driving me insane

[tominrochester]

Jacob is just so creepy... I really hate using that word- i think its very overused- but it unfortunately fits him. Jonathon's stage performance/dancing is kinda dorky but it grows on you and is def gives him an intriguing presence but Jacob just needs to stop. But a great song!

[ComeToThySelektor]

who the fuck is jacob?..fuckn hipsters making me like their good fuckn music with their gay hipsterness..dammit..i like this damn song(studio)

[0004237024]

Wow, this gave me goosebumps! And a massive smile.

[y4ewynne]

These guys are just totally awesome. Best live band I've seen by far and some of the nicest people I've met...<3

[CoreyCSC]

The Drums are an absolute bag of balls live

[Kramer025]

@CoreyCSC at least jonny isnt doing that deep terrible voice when playing live that he does now lol

[DeBoWed]

Jacob is definetly in my top ten air pushers of all time.

[soldat182]

hmmm Minimalism or just shit players?? you decide

[Smownage]

@soldat182 They'd only just started playing guitar when they formed the band, and shot to fame within 6 months, before they even knew any chords

[soldat182]

@Smownage fair play brethrin

[Bkesal14]

@soldat182 Well I think the fact that their band is successful and write great songs when they have only just learned to play guitar, is pretty phenomenal !

[PastPrinciple]

Jacob is a genius

[glopezbertoni]

wow jacob how useless were you during this song.. not even the moves saved ya

[harrywhoyou]

like the band, like the songs just dislike the performance :)

[iamtherain889]

they were amazing ! me and my brother met them affter and we swapped shirts, so my bro has the shirt he wears in this vid :D

[IloveMuseic68]

Mah hometown :')

[turokisthebest]

you can tell when he said "this song is for you" he actually ment to say it not for the audience but for someone else <3

[madinga07]

fuckin sexy these boys :)

[jackscamera]

Jacob pushes air guys, do you know how fucking hard that is?

Every band would kill for a air-pusher like Jacob.

[t0mtreflip]

@jackscamera he starts playing at 1.58

[jimmylesliedrums]

1:37 down by the where?

[ali01202]

@jimmylesliedrums water

[JKoscheck]

lead singer reminds me of ian curtis when he was on stage.

[redwerr]

I think the problem people have with Jacob is that he has all the rock star things going for him... the smartellic attitude, the looks, playing huge shows, the fans...yet he doesn't know how to play the guitar he holds in his hands.... and he'll freely admit it. He's as important to the Drums as that moustached guy was to Frankie Goes To Hollywood... or as that little midget was to Kid Rock .

[RickyStevens94]

@RodriguezFilipino I know right! when he said thanks to everyone and this one is for you we all got ready for it. then this :( not even for an encore!!

[Drummertoby123456789]

They played it on the BBC introducing stage earlier that's why...

[SBV123]

Jacob actually plays guitar now, he used to just play tambourine/perform because he couldn't actually play guitar live that well.

[RickyStevens94]

I was right at the front, can't believe they didn't play Let's go surfing :(

[pullywullypirate]

i like the drums but i really want to punch jacob in the face lol

[KellyLuvsEdward]

@pullywullypirate Y? Jacob is amazing. 

[pullywullypirate]

@KellyLuvsEdward just what he does when they play live is so embarrassing and stupid he looks like a real idiot

[KellyLuvsEdward]

@pullywullypirate I think he makes the band more unique plus when u see them live, he gets the crowd moving and stuff. Plus he so sweet as a person. Great performer in my eyes.

[mshappygurl111]

lol wtf. I love the song, but this is just...

[guitarelio]

love the song. but they're really bad guitarists..

[matteolazazzera]

this song is for you <3

[matteolazazzera]

I love this song

[123iliketurtles]

i love the drums but when they performed this i was disspaointed because it wasnt really sung, most of the lyrics just sort of fell out of his mouth :S

[Justinmeatybonds]

Jacob's dancing in this video rivals Jonathan's usual moves! and I love the drum build-up @2:23. It adds so much to the song in comparison to the album version <3 the Drums forever

[TheSweetjonny]

I wanted to cry :'(

[ellisabandonship]

amazing. but i was seeing limp bizkit

[TheFunctionsMusic]

MEGA LOLS @1:05

[Dieguinho92]

this was amazing

[missypoppy83]

i like the drums and love this song....but this sounds terrible live.

[jimthesmithslover]

they usually look bad live but they look great here!

[MarkiMidi]

shit

[mollymollynolly]

i actually welled up when the played this

they were stunninggg.

[merryberry21]

jacob literally does nothing

[Johannagiudice]

@merryberry21 his dancing movements are priceless

[ematj]

@merryberry21 but the epicocity of his dance makes it all better

[jweightmanmusic]

@merryberry21 Well, technically, yes, he does. Because he's a qualified air-pusher? No?

[calypso1902]

Great!

[merryberry21]

This was a brilliant way to finish it
