Silversun Pickups X-Session - Panic Switch

[AlfaMadDog11]

2 people panicked and pressed the dislike switch! ;-)

[blkclouds]

This is my favorite version of this song. Taking away the drums makes it a lil more creepy and frenetic.

[TheBipolarBullet]

Nikki's mic is louder. Gotta love her <3

[Leonicdragon]

This song is so amazing! Thumbs up if you agree that they deserved the Grammy more than Zac Brown band!

[YUNGSUPRA23]

this band is under rated

[BoricuaPR17]

acoustic bass is crazy love it

[JonahanFlores1]

Whats the best way to find mp3iifffy to download this mp3? Someone told me to google mp3iifffy.

[missmasseyx]

I LOVE this song. It's probably hands-down the BEST Silversun Pickups song. They're amazing. I'm really attracted to his voice.

[xxhyperxx]

good video. except her vocals are a bit too loud. but thats just me.

[Quazisong]

She looks hot in this performance. She is attractive and pretty, but in this video sexy, hotness.. Mhmm hmmm.. Waiting and fading and floating away!

[jcheever37]

@Quazisong girls on bass is just sexy. idk what it is but they're sexier on bass then on guitar imo.

[smileynumber13]

The thing with the tube is called a Melodica, and it's so rad that they have one!

[asianmatt2012]

Fantastic performance.

[vidtech001]

Chris plays drums and Joey plays the keyboard.

The tube is for the effect of the keys.

Cheers.

[vidtech001]

Certainly like what Joey is doing in the background. He helps fill the sound up nicely.

[chunkylover214]

amazing.

[HighNflY]

wow this shit deff needs the drums

[KillerSnail81]

To samposine, the pipe is linked to the keyboard. Sort of a harpsicord or harmonica sound function. Personally, I don't care for it in this version. It seems to lag behind the rest of the band in a couple of spots, but it's all good.

The guy on the left is the drummer. I guess they felt his heavy-handed furious drum work would be too loud or intense for an "unplugged" session. The maraca gets the job done just fine for this unplugged version, in my opinion.

[lumberjack5]

Well thats not her fault, she was singing at a normal level of voice, it's whoever was behind the mixer at the radio station's fault, i think this sounds fine though.

[rearwheelslider]

Okay, whoevers fault it is needs to be fired. You cant tell me she is drowning him out. It sounds like crap. I love everyhting about this song and the version, EXCEPT the damn chorus where she drowns him out. You know its true.

[DistortedDecision]

tits or gtfo.

[lethalforce]

LOL this whole time I thought it was a girl singing this! lol. I was expecting the girl in blue stripes to start singin it.

[Gavinizu]

fucking mic blocking the chords!!!

[samposine]

What is that dude smoking at 1:51? Seriously can't you stay off the hippie lettuce for 5 min while ur on camera? And the dude on the left, no offense but I wish I could be in a band and just play a plastic bean bag thing.

That being said, I love these guys

[buzmeister92]

@samposine I don't think he's smoking, I think it's a distortion keyed in with his keyboard.

[Hissael]

dude hes not smoking lmao.....hes playing an instrument that requires you to blow through that pipe

[rearwheelslider]

BWAHAHA FUNNY COMMENT. Hippie lettuce. Love hat term, but whats wrong with pot? Are you a fucking right wing conservitave or some shit? Get lost if you dont like herb.

[TheSecretflies]

"I saw you getting all Tori Amos."

hahaha, they're amazing.

[XHagenXMartellX]

Duude, his voice rocks! I love SSPU.

[ajthemooonster]

he sounds dope, and his voice, thats how he sing.

[dudebro27]

does he have testicles?

[pistolerojr]

seriously o.0

[About2believe]

Yes im sure he does. You probably have some you just need to let them drop.

[sillybabie326]

their knees are trippy. but this song is awsomee(:

[Spargelgesicht]

that man sounds like a woman

[eternallymusical]

god, this song sounds fucking amazing acoustic. i loooooove his voice so much. love this song.

[noopklu]

i like the guitar

[Bonsai006]

that's a beautiful guitar, anyone know what kind of guitar it is?

[508luke]

i think it might be a gibson humingbird

[haisevaewok]

Hummingbird or maybe a dove. I don't know if there's much difference between those two other than hummingbird has a hummingbird on the pickguard and the dove has -you guessed it- a dove.

[MrKneepuck]

@Bonsai006

its a gibson dove i think

[MrKneepuck]

@Bonsai006 nvm its a hummingbird

[agentwolf046]

i loved that, i also like the melodica, i used to play a version like that as kid. i'm amazed those are still being made.

[PicturesForMyMom]

3:20 hahaha!

[chrodragon2]

wers the drummer?

[508luke]

of to the left hes the one with the maracha thing

[popchris3]

I LOVE this performance. Great guitar, great bass, great vocals, cool keyboard!

I just kinda don't like the monotone overtone singing. It still sounds AWESOME, but it would be better I think if she hit the notes he did at a higher octave.

OVerall though, GREAT GREAT performance.

[TakamineEF340]

i think the harmonies are genius.... sometimes less is more.

[tgiff17]

great video minus the harms on mega overdosed steroids.

[kkamy]

Hey! That's me!

[Magvid1]

Dude, that's some talent. And I like the chics monotone voice - girl nextdoor like a mofo.

[s0meb0dyawes0me]

holy crap! I always thought a chick sang this song!

[mrfestes]

their good but when the bassist sings she ruines it! with her monotone voice

[revolutionday1]

Motherfucker absolutely NAILS that vocal every time I've seen this performed!! They definitely look like they had fun with it. Not all taking themselves too serious like so many of these new shoe-gazer bands do.

Don't know why they left out the part where he goes nuts on the "waiting and fading.....!!!", though.

[callmeparker]

this might be a dumb question but what does the keyboard guy have in his mouth?

[100grapes]

talk-box?

[Jimmyisapunk]

Its called a ladica....im not sure if thats how you spell it...but you can find it in some music stores

[echele112]

It's called a "melodica". It's kind of like an accordian meets a bagpipe.

[CatBloodyGalore]

Noticed haha :]

I think they used it as a sort of metronome.

Love them.

[ScreamingEye]

their legs move to the same beat o.o

[CodyM]

@ScreamingEye maybe because they're playing the same song? just maybe?

[HeadHunterBTB]

@ScreamingEye Sign of a good band right there =)

[pauluminous]

@ScreamingEye

lmao

[Tringi]

@ScreamingEye haha yeah!

[KalEl1747]

@ScreamingEye well. thats just natural^^

[jacks4070]

@ScreamingEye :Yeah n thats a good observation from u



[brokencrutches]

[SimplySaidBand]

The keybored sounds hilarious. lol and the egg shaker talent is unparalleled.

HAHAHA

awesome song. excelent album all around.

[jameshippiekid]

so Awesome, i want to see them live!!!

[TheImplodingVoice61]

A Gibson man... love the Hummingbird. Great performance - Nikki's background vocals really come through in this performance.

[elicxir]

Is that Joaquin Phoenix in the corner LOL

[realtremil]

awsome song 1:57 lol yes... even he itches his nose.

[mrbubbles321]

Wow.

[17J3]

[lordrahXephon]

[DrumKiddo13]

[TheSGS5]

[DrumKiddo13]

(played in back in black - acdc)

once you learn that, then you pretty much know everything.

[marco78910]

[actingoneonone]

[hamwords123]

[TeenageDeathGirl337]

[k9ripper85]
