We Are Scientists - After Hours - Live on Jools Holland

[richbdd01]

Is that the libertines guy drumming?

[meh460]

@richbdd01 yes

[cpreston5]

I think watching Jools Hollnad is currently the best thing you can do to improve your taste in music. Watching a steady stream of great bands you've probably never heard of.

[MrBenequis]

Fue por una buena pelicula que llegué a esta buena canción hace un tiempo atras. Y todabia la sigo escuchando... espero ver la pelicula en mas ocaciones.

So say, that you’ll stay

[goldwincs]

what a solid performance..

[WhyWeLoveMusic]

What is this? Is this actual talent?!

[turnpike88]

I don't think I've ever seen a bad band on this show. Is it on American TV?

[ajhillybillyaj]

@turnpike88 they do have a lot of brilliant bands on, and no its on the BBC.

[kjman62]

@turnpike88 ovation carries this program

[sisiPDL]

i want to buy his album,they're awesome :D

[ezzong]

is that bass thunderbird? or rd?

[phedora312]

@ezzong Thunderbird.

[missson67]

Anyone know what guitar Keith plays?? I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer anywhere XD

[mattoldfield94]

@missson67 Its a Fender Telecaster in Honey Blonde

[missson67]

@mattoldfield94 Ahh Thank You! :) x

[typoded]

@missson67 i don't know about this one but on acoustic i think he plays a hawaiian guitar

[Niaboc10]

Is the drummer not the guy from Libertines and the guitarist Anthony Rossamondo of Dirty Pretty Things? I think the drummer quit just before this performance.

Great live I say, not so much here though!

[theinck]

@Niaboc10 It sure does look like the Libs drummer. He has the exact same playing style. Trust me on that- I'm a drummer. That is a really good observation

[Redrum267]

Although in this song he sounds like Interpol.

[Redrum267]

Hey they are really not that bad...hmmm...

ok...i guess they pass my test. But his hair...please dont kill your gigs with emo appearances!

[phantomguyHHrfan]

they are amazing live, its the drummer thats not hitting the right notes...hes going to slow and with the beats too far apart, see them play this same song on letterman it sounds amazing...

[1hadagayname]

you really are full of shit, hes playing a slightly different drum variation in this rendition of the song and, its really the eq of the acoustic (needs more bass and mids) and the lead electric that also needs some of the same.... sounds to me like they have a shit sound guy or a shit idea of what a great sound is...

[bornliveandedd]

crumble of a comment

[1hadagayname]

they are either shit live...or they have a crap sound guy. seriously how can you guys say they sound nice? on the over produce record they sound great but this is pretty lame

[MitchelMcCormick]

quite obviously just a bad quality video. impatience is the same way.

[1hadagayname]

i saw em on tv as well, and i have friends and family whom have been to thier gigs and all say the same thing- they are really shit live, they make a good record.

[JamesCmuse]

great song! not too sure about the backing vocals, a bit too loud! its better with just chris doing backing vocals

[pbawesome1312]

please come to australia

[lauralemonlime]

I really hope they come to the UK real soon!

[coinslot1953]

Great band. Seen them twice. Keith & Chris are real funny too. Their gigs are half awesome tunes & half funny banter with the crowd.

[jaibobs108]

they're awesome live! x

[cobyp567]

Why is it so quiet?

[ninanushi]

grr.

want to see them live soo badly :[

[blindedtipsy]

anthony rossomandooooooooo

[tichyha]

they are extremely good live. holy shit

[demon121290]

alas i cannot say they are my favorite band...foo fighters will remain my idol but w.a.s. is up there with o.a.r.

[sheepxgoxbah]

amazing

[casasdc]

NEW FAVORITE!!!

[Roolxi]

[JENNY205]

[scotland997]

[glenbenmusicalfreak]

KEITH!!!! :D W.A.S. ROCKS!!!

[brurock2512]

[juronapod]

[dl1151]

I MISS MICHAEL!!!

[murfballls]

"time means nothing....SAY that you'll stay":(

[sicasicaboomboom]

wow they're amazing live like so good

[nothingelsetochoose]

whoa in this vid he looks like tom delonge.

[EnelyEnx]

Saw them live, and fell in love with these guys! They are great!!!

[saratita93]

Did anyone like Kieth with longer hair in the back? He was so much cuter w/ that hair cut! :[

[EvilGeniusWithGuns]

Is it me or does this sound pretty similar to mens needs by the cribs? I know using the e string is and old technique but...

[musefanUSA]

I can hear a bit of "Mens Needs" in the synth, but only a little.

[TJsalami]

cant bloody hear it - am i going deaf

[danbell06]

im using headphones nd still find it hard 2 hear properly!!

[HarpoTheVillain]

Me too. The sound's all beat to shit.

[goshou]

I know it's been said to death, but I think it's fantastic that Anthony and Gary are playing for them here. Two fantastic musicians playing for another awesome band.

Up the Libertines!

[babyshambles4life]

@goshou I thought was Gary

[Rickarderik]

The guitarist (acoustic) looks like Anthony from dirty pretty things

[mwyle]

It is!

[tmac0154]

is the drummer gary powell from the libertines?

[Magikdonut]

yes. and dirty pretty things.

[milkandtwosugars88]

gary ! great guy, ive met him once :)

[magee141]

Great tune,

Amazing live performance,

And Gary on drums.

Doesnt get much better than this :)

[jmpfilho]

Gary on drums =DDD

[limeyamos]

these guys remind me of Something for Rockets

[theverve85]

acoustic guitar player who??

[theverve85]

acoustic guitar player who??

[pitchfork4130]

I think its the frontman of Oxford Collapse...at least he looks like him and played this song with them when I saw them live

[robmunns1]

the acoustic guitarist is antony rossamando(spelling?) of dirty pretty things as well as gary powell

[jacnors]

its max hart

[xchristiebx]

i just saw these one of the best gigs ive been to even tho there were sum arses there

i love was:) xxxxxxx

[adamb101]

Is that Gary Powell on drums?! =D

[whitten26]

THE DRUMMER OUT OF THE LIBERTINE :o :o :o :o :o :o awesome i love this band so much

[whitten26]

SOZ LIBERTINES *******

[jazzmanjamesbailie]

NSNS

[Jonsonsama]

i'm still getting used to the new songs... its a big change from their first one. although i do like some of there new songs.... ghouls, this one, and impatience

[rajivk91]

this song

is genius

as are they

[hudahelldoufink]

i can swear on my life tht the drumer is gary from dpt............ correct me if im wrong :)

[stoopid79]

yes it is, they also used Matt Helders from the Actic Monkeys on the Album Chart Show..A well connected band.x

[WhataShamblesjj]

As much as I love WAS, this isn't a very good performance.

They always looked so nervous when they perform on this show :(

[jayroome]

whats up with the three new band members?

thats fcuked

[glagow]

The extra members aren't actually part of the band, its just the vocalist and the bassist that are the band now, the drummer left and the other members are just back up musicians.

[DrinkCanadaDry]

yeh yuh noob

[Tsuekasa]

fan pwned by fans

[cupsfromikea]

I can see where your coming from about the new album but stick with it and the hooks will stick in. Tonight is probably the closest thing to WLAS but i don't think the 80s tinge is a particularly bad thing. they couldn't put the same album out twice or ppl wud get bored

[Dalrrr]

I love this song but the new album is sooo dull, i never notice when it comes on in work.

Its nothing special =(

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

Wat!?!? the new album isn't dull. what about "Let's See It" Chick Lit" and "Dinosaurs" - they're gr8 tunes

[Tsuekasa]

well There two songs on myspace on their new album is really different from im use to. I listen to all their oldies even their bsides and its really different. So far i like Lets see it. After hours is a single so i cant count it.

[Jof1987]

i don't like the new look and sound of was

where are the good crunchy songs like great escape...

[Tsuekasa]

I like their new look and after hours is beautiful. But i have to grow on their new album.

[Mxtrkrft]

super great vocals,love it.

[brfczander]

matt helders drummed for em once :D

[adamessoof]

hahaha, Gary from Dirty pretty things on drums! Gary! Gary! Gary! never seen him hit the drums so lightly! lol

[jamesae627]

i thought they only had 3 people in the band guess i was wrong

[PhotogenicMovies]

They did, the drummer left, and they got a rhythm guitarist and drummer for touring only. So the official number of band members in WAS is two, Keith Murray (lead singer, guitarist) and Chris Cain (bass).

[wallsie]

i ment dpts not liberteens lol

[andydaniels]

Quality! Sounds well better than the single!

[andyoflondon]

hahahaha....we are scientists have so many mates in high places....DPT's, Editors, Arctic Monkeys....i think everyone just loves WAS :D

[MickyNL]

What's there not too love?

[MickyNL]

*to.

Darn.

[wallsie]

other half of the band is the liberteens

[ggtherocker]

nah that's anthony, not carlos!

[jimmychawho]

thats Gary Powell, from the libertines and dirty pretty things is it not?

[jimmychawho]

never mind i read the first comment wrong

[jimdivet]

does anyone know if matt helders is playin on their whole uk tour

[Jimmy41292]

seeing them on the 23rd in bristol :D

[stephenouve]

anyone see them playin last night and matt helders was drummin for this song?

[Tsuekasa]

really? doesnt seem like a song for matt helders but must of been offense.

[Tsuekasa]

fuck did i say offense* i meant awesome. hell i was watching the video and commenting

[stephenouve]

ah yeah it was definitley him.hes friends with them like

[Tsuekasa]

i noticed arctic monkeys played with them earlier in another video, i like how there respected upon many bands

[frizzastyle]

an amazing band, an amazing song, and a hopefully amazing new album!

i cant wait :D

[indiedarling]

Anthony, Gary & We are Scientists!

FUCK, thats lovely!

[ggtherocker]

I agree.

:)

[walterhe]

does anyone work out the guitar tab?

[wehp]

yep. basically its

e|00407000200400200| for the intro powers after than. easy to figure out :P

[foofighterjct]

scratch the View lead singer thing...its Ant Rossomando from dirty pretty things....guessin they got some mates in to help whilst they look for a new drummer and guitarist?buuut, on their website theres a pic of a drummer with a tat on his arm....who knows...the new album cover only features chris and keith on the front so maybe they'll just get a touring band together and take the royalties for themselves...thats what i would so anyway lol

[foofighterjct]

yea looks like gary from dirty pretty things (libertines are no more people...lets move on) and for a second i thought the guy on the acoustic was the lead singer from The View?? but im sure it wasnt....and the guy on the keyboard thing is called Max Hart i think!quality song too, def a grower

[threshers1234]

wicked song, great clean performance

[threshers1234]

wicked song, great clean performance

[OSIRIS20490]

Brilliant song

[Jensonslife]

I like Gary, but I loved The Tapper!

[rajivk91]

i thought it was the libertines drummer!

[Seamoonvs]

It is.

[will10000]

the old drummer michael tapper left the band

:(

[YoungRazorlight]

ah thats a sickner..

[KieranDominic]

Gary! amazing

[YoungRazorlight]

what happened the old drummer? going to see these guys on april 10th the warm up gig for the uk tour in derry in a tiny venue gonna be fucking ace!

[stretmiester]

He left, shame

[vicchanlmao]

yeah pretty sure it is anthony.

[ggtherocker]

I've just noticed also, isn't that Anthony Rossomando (also of DPT) playing acoustic?

Looks like him and his posture/guitar playing style?

[ggtherocker]

yeah that's gary powell  =D =D =D

[ilovesuede]

sounds great. Keith seems to be in a good mood.

[yeahthisismyusername]

thats what i thought. theyre missing a drummer at the moment so maybe they got him in as a session drummer

[yeahthisismyusername]

hold on, whose that drumming?

[tweetwat]

he looks like gary powell from the libertines and dpt...
