  • One of the most genuine bands around. Great live and they're all legends.

  • At 3:04 does Sam fall over but thay cut it out? :L

  • Frankly, America sucks ass. He can 'trash' it all he wants. THEY are a great band and i love them <3 btw John Wayne kicks ass he was and still is amazing <3

  • @peytonlover101 it doesnt suck... their are things here that definatly do, but it doesnt in general.

  • saw these guys live, it freaking changes you, THEY ARE EFFING INCREDIBLE. <3 :D

  • twin atlantic make me proud to be scottish ! <3

  • @halfhawkeainsley Yep,it's meant to be like that:)

  • @youaretheforest Ahh right, i just thought my ears were decieving me :') thanks

  • I'm not mishearing things, at 2:26 it does go all weird and out of key doesn't it? D:

  • 3:50 onwards - amazing.

  • in this video he looks so much like the lead singer of Parachute..

  • Honestly, he could look like Rosie O'Donald, but if he sang to me with a voice like that, I would for sure bear his children.

  • I fucking LOVE Twin Atlantic!!!! Amazing music

  • Whenever i'm depressed I listen to Twin Atlantic, and with that accent, I forget what depressed even means.

  • I love Twin Atlantic.

    But ladies, you all look like dumbasses.

    He's trashing our country,

  • @nikki5252withsparks Erm.. Thats cool(:

  • @nikki5252withsparks He's not trashing my country.

  • @nikki5252withsparks Frankly my dear, I don't givea damn ;o

    I don't like my country either, so he can talk crap about it all he wants

    everything he's saying is true.

    and I'd STILL touch his bod. ;o

    (Just so you know it's quite annoying when you press enter after every partial sentence.. e.e)

  • Is that a triangle tattoo I'm seeing at 01:29? or is it just a permanent marker?

  • @TomatoKidsBand tatto

  • @meganyoungX agreed

  • The way he says AMERICA! its so adorable!♥ damm such great music!

  • Proud Scot <3

  • Yess people finally start to realise that us Scots produce amazing music! Fuck yeah not just bagpipes!

  • I am amedican

  • Comment removed

  • @Danstreettssssss Biffy Clyro is mainstream pish man!

  • @Mpayne deary me. You have no idea. Listen to Biffys first 3 albums and tell me they're mainstream shite. They've worked to get where they are they are ANYTHING but mainstream shite. They've evolved as a band and have worked hard to get to the top and now they're enjoying. Twin Atlanic have a much more mainstream sound sucha cheesy band.

  • @Danstreettssssss Just because they're Scottish, doesn't make them Biffy posers. O_o

  • @Danstreettssssss umm umad? OH MY GAWD !! I LUFF BIFFY CLYRO SOOOO MUCH! THERE CAN BE NO OTHER SCOTTISH BANDS!! WAH WAH WAH!!!

  • @Danstreettssssss Biffy Is Nothing Like This...

  • I'm John Wayne at the first Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving pilgrims!

  • fuck sake man. i hate how everyone says "he's so" i mean, it's not just sam in the band.

  • hes so gorgeous and has such a gorgeous accentt!!

  • Someone looks sexy in white trousers ;D

  • Comment removed

  • Well, I used to put on the accent of whoever originally sang the song I sang, but after listening to this band for a couple of years, I started singing Scottish to everything by accident! Thank you for helping me sing like a true West Lothian-er!

  • @peerieweirdo Midlothian Yuss!

  • If he's Scottish, Where is his power-beard?

  • @Changeyourwayss I think the bassist has enough power-beard for the whole band.

  • SCOTLAND FTW.

  • not many guys can pull off white skinnys, but I must say SAM LOOKS HOT!<3

  • fucking hell the drummer has aged since this video :s

  • Comment removed

  • :)

  • sam mctrusty <3 u r soo hot <3 :P

    my favourite song <3 :DDD i just found out about these guys and im already in love with them :)))

  • Doesn't everyone just love stereotypes? I agree with japannahannah and one other thing everything he owns was probably made in china or taiwan, etc. so....

  • All these guys are saying is that if you live outside America, you should think about whether you want to keep your own cultural identity, or copy American culture. It's not that controversial, and certainly isn't ripping America a new one.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, yeah. We suck. I know. I just people would realize that not ALL Americans are like that. :P

  • I find this America bashing song on par with Blink 182 and Green Day so amusing and completely adorable in its hypocrisy.

    I'm not a real proud American right now, but it's kind of like somebody saying bad things about your mother. It's OK when I say it 'cause I have to live with her, but if somebody calls my mom a bitch, they meet my fist.

    This band has some lessons to take from British Sea Power, but they are cute so they'll probably sell records on that merit alone.

  • @paintitredpromotions It's hardly america bashing, its just saying people are swapping in their cultures in favour of becoming americanized.

  • This band is AMAZING!! :D

  • the way he plays the guitar is so wicked, this band is AWESOME :)

  • I love how underground they are :)

  • I love the Kooks because of their british accent but I also love Twin Atlantic because of their fucking hot scottish accent :)) <3

  • Í always thought a British accent would be te most sexy, well, there's another opinion now: wow, sam really proofed that scootish is even better than british

  • @julesnatural You mean Scottish? O.o

  • @Alizawrz ye of course I mean Scottish! just a typo, sorry.

  • @julesnatural Scotland is part of Britain which means its a "british accent" too. I think you're confusing "british" with "english"...

  • @182ParaFighters yeah...sorry that's what I wanted to say, but you got what I meant, didn't you?!

  • @julesnatural Aye dont worry lol, just pisses me off when people confuse the two!

  • @182ParaFighters theres no such thing as a British accent, everyone from different areas in Britain sound different. I suppose you could generalize it to being British but thats like first of all generalizing it to a human accent, then to a European accent, then to a British accent, then to a Scottish accent, but if you simply say someone has a British accent you really have no idea what they sound like, they could sound Glaswegian, Scouse or Welsh and you would not put them in the same category

  • John Wayne's an arsehole.

  • Thanks,guys don't forget me! youtube:Raymond Allen Burlew III Talk to you soon.

  • His accent is fucking awesome

  • I like John Wayne.. but i like this song better. snm. :)

  • Who's John Wayne?

  • @TokyoBennyBlack An American actor, usually playing a cowboy...i think

  • He looks different in every video I swear.

  • Can someone please tell me what he says at @0:38 ?

  • @TheNextLevelDotCom Cause I'm only going on the blatant proof

  • Please try not take it personal,

    'cause i'm only going on the blatant truth

  • this song is about how he hates people who sing in american accents when there not american. "imitate all we love to hate" at least i think.... well maybe partly about it

  • why are people disliking this video if you dont like it then fuck off we don't wanna know

  • I'm American, this song is so true, and so good.

  • Twin Atlantic dont hate america. They're just saying how being American seems to be amazing, but then when you take it from an Americans perspective or actually go there yourself you find it disappointing. Only because the american image has been built up so far, with all the glitz and glam, but in reality, its not what you expect at all...

  • @aortasuds 'Tis true. I'm as American as you can get (I was born in Kansas and wear t-shirts and designer jeans, for crying out loud), and I love my country to death, but even I can tell you that we don't practice everything we preach. We can't. Utopia doesn't exist, folks, and whoever decided we were Superman in country form is an idiot.

  • By far their best song.

  • I understand the perfectly, I just don't agree. What i don't understandvis why people feel the need to turn everything into a freaking argument.

  • Ah, but I do.

  • SHITE!

  • the 19 that disliked this were deaf

  • What this brat needs is a good spanking and to come back to airth what a douche this song would have made sense in the 50s when people actully cared about john wayne I mean i do but the dudes out of touch i belive hes never been to america cause if he had of first time he played down south they would have a hey day with his young ass

  • @777nightowl777 was that english

  • Took me awhile to understand past the accent, can't get past it really. Not digging the whole hateing america theme, I don't think you get to sing shit about a country for no reason other than we make your country insignificant by comparison.

  • @peachywink1 they're not saying a,erica is shit, they're saying that almost every country in the world has some american culture in it and that were all losing our all culture for somewhere half of us havent been

  • these guys sound the spitting double of Biffy Clyro lol

  • I like this song.

    People that need to turn everything into a debate ruin it. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK. Enjoy the music or get the fuck off.

  • @TheColourfulSplodge the fucking music blows too captian pissy pants if you dont like the debates dont fuckin read them no one gives a shit about your snot nose opinion you commie bastard And if you dont pay attention to the info tha tgoes in your brain you open yourself up to influence and subconscious brainwashing its the same shit that makes white people think they are black or the reason you need the new playstation or designer lable but you wouldnt know cause you just listen to the music

  • @777nightowl777

    Bro, the lyrics make no difference to me what so ever - I don't agree with them, doesn't mean I can't like the actual music - I don't get influenced by musicians or designers labels, because I'm perfectly capable of having my own opinion - I hate the theme of this song - I'm just saying that arguing isn't going to make a difference, that song'll still be there.

  • Comment removed

  • @thedeafparrot I'm pretty sure that this song has a meaning, not all songs from the 80s backwards had meanings. This song tells a story. And to be honest, talking about skinny jeans, im sure leather skinny jeans were once a big fad, am i wrong ? As for kids fitting into a scene, everyone has to grow up somehow, their choices now let them become the person they will once they are older, and "scenes" have been around for as long as i remember. An example punks and MODs have been around for ages.

  • i dont know about everywhere in america... but where i come from they aint hoes walking around in daylight and evil ppl??

  • @MsIKayla Aye man, thats just scotland pal :)

  • ummmm...... so what your saying is that american is the root of all pollution and evil??? That's what their saying right????? and umm most product come from Japan!!!!! NOT America!! Get your fact straight.... used to like this band but no.. not anymore

  • how come all European bands bash the usa?

    it's not cool..

  • @CableShark123

    cause they probably feel like the USA is too ignorant. And they are right! When I was in the US I got to know many many people who did not even know what the European Union is. Some could not even tell me if Italy is a country or a city...?! wtf?! What do teachers do in your country?

  • @Crypto91 try to fuck the students lol But seriously I hear what your saying and it is true but its not the average citizens fault our government is very corrupt in the usa and everyday I worry for my kid and her kids and I try to do my small part to try make a future for them but it scares me to think about what this country will be in 50 to 100 years from now or if it will even be the usa anymore I see a civil war in my own land if we keep going this way

  • @thelostcause i think it's about globalisation and how everything's being americanised? i don't really know, it might also be about how america is where your dreams come true and that the person he is singing about has ripped his dreams from him or something :S

  • @thedeafparrot way to generalise... I'm roughly the same age as you. I do not wear skinny jeans, and I do use words like 'fail' and 'epic', because THEY ARE WORDS. (Yes, I am aware that you meant the incorrect use of the words, but still - don't be a tool). Just grow up, you're worse than any kids trying to fit in to any 'scene', telling people off for simply liking the music that they like.

  • Someone wanna enlighten me to the meaning of this song?

  • @thedeafparrot pop? your user name says it all really, no ears but a mouth to spew non sensical babble

  • <3 wee twinnny

  • @OverduesBassPlayer ....failtoast <3

    ....you just made my fucking day XD

  • @kingginger254 he is saying that everything is becoming americanised and different than what he is used to

  • Sounds like someone had a bad experience in America....

    Murp lol.

  • they are so shit

  • as an american i feel like were the bloody lafing stock of the world .

  • @kingginger254 you are

  • @kingginger254 are u sure ur american.... we dont say "bloody"???.... that's a brittish thing

  • @MsIKayla *British

  • all in all though, Im an american who absolutely cannot stand our pop culture, the popular music, the idiots driving SUVs bling'd out, the pride in excess and stupidity, the preference of brute force over intelligence, etc...i could go on for days. living surrounded by sheep sucks.

  • @lefty77713 ummm u must be EMO!! lol ... AMERICA ROX >>>> IF U DONT LIKE IT LEAVE!

  • the only problem I have with this song is that its main premise is based on something thats somewhat a fallacy. The people changing/ruining/overrunning the earth are not america, but rather corporations- the majority based in America, but not all of them (BP, for instance). Its easy to label them as america, but they are in fact essentially their own countries, with GDPs greater than all but a few countries- and the power to control EVERY country, including america, and the UK. Hate them.

  • i know that this is kind of hypocritical, but i take offense to this song. i tend to like song against America as long as they're sung by americans. but you people are not American. you've never ACTUALLY had to live in stereotypical America, but we do. you have no right to judge us unless you've been here. you wouldn't survive a month here if this is what you really think.

  • @BoredomAtItsVeryBest hitch your skirt up princess

  • @aussiesurfer28 gladly. because, you know all americans are whores. that must be all my fault.

  • @BoredomAtItsVeryBest I know, right? America is a tough place ALL the time - like when the McDonalds is more than 50 yards down the street, or when you lose on your favourite RPG which you thought you could never fail at after ALL those hours of practice, or when you or when the KFC menu gets lost down the back of the sofa, or even when you have to listen to this British music and it hasn't been made by Miley Cyrus or 50 Cent and you just. can't. cope. It's awful, isn't it?!

  • @AHStarWars4Life you know, this is exactly my point. thank you. people think that were all fat idiots that cant get their ass up from the tv unless its to get more food. and just because there are people like that, doesnt mean everyone is. dont judge what you dont know, sweetheard. im sure you scottish have fat asses too. all im saying is he SAID hes never been to america... and if he had he may have thought differently.

  • @BoredomAtItsVeryBest I have not read through your conversation, so i might be getting the wrong end of the stick completely, if i am.. I'm so sorry xd

    but i just want to point out that this video was actually filmed in america as far as i know, and they recorded their album in america, i think..

    I'm sorry if that's completely random and has nothing to do with what you were saying xd :)

  • @AHStarWars4Life umm america is just like every other place retardo!!!!! u know yall get on my nerves... guess what i think yall are all insucure twats that cant think for themself so they take opions from bands!!! BITCHES

  • @MsIKayla Well, y'know what they say... *America *retard *You *y'all/you all *insecure *can't *themselves *opinions *Bitches. Stop! Grammar time.
  • @MsIKayla says the man with an american made Star Wars screen name HALF WHIT!!!

  • Pull everything oot

  • Saw these guys a couple of months ago - supporting Gaslight Anthem.....Off to see My Chemical Romance on Sunday - Guess who's supporting.....TWIN ATLANTIC...

  • 0:04 Looks Proper Like Simon Niel

  • Gona see Twin Atlantic at blink tomorrow in Dublin!!!WOAH!!! CANT WAIT!!!!!

  • it may be designed in USA but they're surely made in China..

  • the accent makes me laugh. lead singer looks like craig nicholls from the vines sometimes as well. still, likin' the musack.

  • John Wayne's from my state:)

    Thumbs up if you don't care?

  • @MrChickenLegs27 ya but those guys are from my country..... WIN! :P ah the random comments i make when i'm bored

  • @MrChickenLegs27 FUCK YA IOWA

  • You lot are gonna go places. :)

  • @bonscott76 It reminds me of simple plan and sum41 and that stuff.. for me it's mainstream, but that's in the "eye of the beholder" isn't it? :)

  • @bonscott76 I didn't mean the voice it's just because i think this sounds so mainstream

  • @unshiriniert it's just a standard glaswegian accent :)

  • @bonscott76 damn right :D

  • @bonscott76 i agree with you there , west scotland is pretrty much a shit hole but it produces awsome music

  • @darrenguitar im fae west scotland aint that shit well it is but aye well said :p xx

  • yeah...you know what else is from america? your record label.

  • Im dutch and really love the scottish accent

    Briliant XD

    :3

  • I'm American, I totally love these lyrics. But...I am a bad American. :D

  • sooooo. i saw these dudes back in april when they were supporting the fall of troy. I LOVED the music. i gave the lead guitarist an air five XD but theres just one thing i just cant get over. the lead singer was the biggest douchebag asshole i have ever seen . he kept insulting the crowd and just being a jerk to everyone. it made me really angry. the guy needs an attitude adjustment. maybe thats why theyre not as big as they should be. the music ROCKS. but guys i really hope you read this. peace

  • @TheFunkIsAardwolf the singer is really lovely and in the 4 times ive seen them live i havent heard him insult anyone he just gets the crowd going and e really just isnt a jerk

  • @TheFunkIsAardwolf he kept insulting pittsburgh and shit like every other song. if you say our city sucks and that we suck, were not going to love you. then he threw a temper tantrum and broke a mic stand and walked off the stage because we werent slam dancing to his songs that arent slam danceable in the first place.

  • 'Do you believe your changing the Ehrth?

  • i hate his accent and i'm scottish lol its so annoying!

  • Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, no not one"

    Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

  • @andyboreland hey how bout you dont try to bring the bible up douche monger suck a dick twin atlantic ftw!

  • Very beautiful young man.

  • @jslrr why?

  • @jslrr why?
