Yoni Wolf (Why?) - Vowels Pt 2 / These Few Presidents @ Knitting Factory, NYC

[Zvanunhoft]

I think it's awesome that the crowd is singing along. If I was Yoni, I would be flattered.

[GeometryInStatic]

Oh please, you're at a concert... Don't like the the social atmosphere of it? Sucks for you I guess. Dave Matthews sucks donkey dick.

[saltemann]

No, you know what, fuck people who feel compelled to sing (loud) at concerts- they suck.

[scradincunt]

if your a hipster the polite thing to do is stand there with a wisful look on your face trying to hold back to tears while they worship there hipster idol,haha.Love yoni,almost live from Annas cabin is my favourite of there records to listen to on a rainy day or even a sunny day for that matter. :)

[anaobradovicc]

dont be ridiculous, he's performing for the audience, concerts aren't about the audience gazing in awe at the performer whilst remaining silent. you work with what energy and audience you get

[hiphop4ever50]

Just because you assholes would rather shoegaze, doesn't mean everyone else should suppress their love and excitement they feel when they hear a song they love.

[Ouis]

I Hate Nothing More than when people sing like this, totally ruins the experience

[lilyblue11]

okay, first of all, people are allowed to do whatever they like at a concert; sing, dance, etc. . they are there because they like the music/band/artist. . whatever.

i think it would make the artist proud, that that many people memorized and vocalize their songs at concerts. (i'm not saying they should shout random things like "CHEERY-O!" but, it's the thought that counts)

i don't want to argue, but i just had to say it.

and i am a GIANT fan of WHY?

they are my favorite band.

[vivalaiver09]

too many pretentious hipsters commenting on this page. people are allowed to sing.

[Clerks0]

@vivalaiver09 you mad?

[wge621]

@vivalaiver09 okay in UNDERGROUND JAPANESE CONCERTS with limit 50, people just LISTEN i wish AMERICANS could just be more SOPHISTICATED like the REST OF THE WORLD, GOSH

[GnomesAmok]

@wge621

FUCK YOU BUDDY, MURICA!

[SumCaseum]

yoni is so perfessional-- look how pissed and distracted he is by this fucking crowd yet he continues

[gavbag1234]

@mariano26788

You think that's feedback? We've had a means of giving feedback for many years bro, it's called applause, and we typically wait to do it AFTER someone is finnished performing.

This isn't about feedback, it's about attention.

[iamjezuzchrist]

I dont know... When people adopt a song and make it a part of there own personal experience... thats honor. He did yell to settle down... that was the girl who started moshing... but hey she was drunk and loves the music. You can hear her yell "I'D FLY TO FROM ANYWHERE!" Check out teen keen skip... thats where she got really stupid. Its a release of emotion. Its about understanding. I could do the same for a Mozart concerto. :)

[AlannaGabby]

There's a fine line between having an intimate moment with your favorite band and being obnoxious.

[Clerks0]

If I were on that consert and all those asshats started to sing along, i would seriously go on a fucking rampage in there

[RedBallMovies]

why aren't people allowed to have fun? aren't concerts about having fun? 

[gavbag1234]

Also, just to clarify. I don't mind singing along, its the "WOOOO YEAH!!" thing that bugs the fuck out of me.

[gavbag1234]

I hate assholes who shout when someone is performing.

I'd like to live in a culture in which we could just punch the people who think that's okay. In japan they LISTEN to the music.

[butlerKNOWSall]

you're a pretentious douche. enjoy the music your way and let everyone else do it their way

[gavbag1234]

I'm pretentious because I like to be able to hear music without drunk people yelling over it?

If it enhanced someones enjoyment was somehow genuinely improved by their shouting at the top of their lungs at a performer then that'd be okay right up until you ask 2 questions.

1: Why would that help someone improve the music?

2: What if everyone did the same thing?

Maybe try not to call strangers names when they're simply voicing opinions. It'll make you more friends in the long run.

[butlerKNOWSall]

@gavbag1234 it's not about improving the music, you pretentious douche. they're just having fun and you're a pissant bitching about everything you can. go back to your miserable life, sergeant boner.

[gavbag1234]

My troll alarm just blew up.

[JKNovoa]

@butlerKNOWSall

Honestly crowds can be too loud and this crowd is riding that edge. I want to be able to hear him.

[xcorpox]

just punch them;)

[TheDigitalreign]

disappointed by your offer to make love well lust not love and the difference get's confused when i consider recent events with people who smell familiar almost like burning plastic credit cards when i'm getting a free show and is there a difference if I've known all of you for lifetimes there's nothing wrong with an innocent kiss unless it hurts a third party that's barely noticed behind me it makes me ashamed

[peskasker]

amazing.

he didn't even need the rest of the band that night.

thats takes true genius.

[gorideaboard]

The crowd wouldn't bother me so much if they could keep time. But they can't so it kinda ruins the video. I've seen Why? live and they are fucking amazing!

[BaconxUzi]

Yoni is the shit

[AlexxAnimosity]

amen.

[heartb34tx]

I don't think I've ever had chills that lasted 5:33.

....Until now, that is. =)

[lowdogg247]

i got this song stuck in my friends head just by singing the chorus once in front of him, and he had never heard why? before.

[marinessis123]

yoni amazes me

[shtickymayne]

john6111 - i'm not sure, but i think i dislike you.

Why? is my favourite.

[MichaelLeroi]

if you don't like crowd singing listen to the record. otherwise shut up!

[Komputilo]

This video brought a smile to my face.

[john6111]

ive got nothing against alopecia[even though yoni has exited his roots] but all those people singing with him need to chill because yoni doesnt play solo songs all the time. its incredibly rare now a days. they are in fact, NOT at a jonas brothers concert.

"i hope you like your educated blonde haired boyfriend."

[Ouis]

@john6111 it ruins the experience 100% makes me wanna run on stage grab the mic from him, tell everyone to shut the fuck up and let the man do his thing, then tell him to start over, at dave matthew acoustic shows, there are chairs on the floor, and he tells people to shut the fuck up and not ruin it for everyone else, thats how it should be.

[NattyNiGhT]

this is one of those songs that gets stuck in ur head all day lol

[leecahim]

Xup, true. its plays in my head all the time, even when i dont think about it. haha
