cage the elephant

[qazo]

240p, we meet again.

[reppohkered]

god damit.....David Letterman isn't funny and was rather insensitive and awkward with his faux southern accent........honestly...wtf

[flynn395]

why does that rhythem guitarist have his guitar so high? He plays like he is sitting down.

[21nickm]

Im about 60 miles from bowling green where these guys are from. Bowling green rocks beats the crap out of this town. Did not realize they were from bowling green till I heard it on the radio this morning.

[JRACE27]

@IgniteTheProphecy fuck u.. He is shoeing he is actually into the music

[TheSwollenPickle]

why is the other like button upside down?

[aaronJORDON]

near the end Matt looks like he's gonna cry XD gotta love him

[firre139]

3 people got caged with the elephant

[petercrissisamazing]

thts how u play gtar brad! yeaaa!

[totalignoranceinc]

letterman such a douche really "do you like pie" as someone who has roots in kentucky that pisses me off fuck em lol great band

[RCTPatriot75]

@totalignoranceinc

No shit. They appropriate comment would have been, "do you like Bourbon?"

[MegaUMadBro]

i like matt with his hair short and i love brad with his new subtle mohawk ha.

[iSadiee14]

Maybe this says something about my character, but I for one like how Matt sketches out when he's live. He's damn good at singing while doing it too!

[LibraHorse1]

he looks like he's about to shit his pants.

[DetroitPistonsPride]

At 2:59 Matt comes in and grabs Daniel's mic stand...I wonder if that was on purpose or Matt was just rocking out.

[dak879]

Now that dude is a spaz. Awesome song. So catchy. I hum this one for weeks at a time.

[BigBlueNation7]

"If you pay the right Pice" lol

[nzwwefan]

lol at the acoustic guitar player.

[1313musicloverx]

i loooveeee this bandd so muchh! but does he have like something wrong withh him? he spazzesss alot, like his leg

[macncheese101pm]

lol The bassist is so chill. He's like seven feet tall and is just like there. He looks like he doesn't even know where he is. Reminds me of John Entwhistle lol.

[fleebles]

So exciting that they got air time on national television! But they all seem really nervous, this is a lot different then what they usually do. When they aren't nervous, they put on a hell of a live show. I saw them for the first time last year, and it was the best live show I've been to!

[ElliottQuest]

THEY SAY I DO A LOT OF DRUGS AND THE CROWD WILL ONLY LIKE ME IF THEY'RE REALLY FUCKING DRUNK! HAHAH FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND

[busyak]

@ElliottQuest you hear that? you hear what's coming? oh, you better run for the hills cuz we're coming to your town and we're GONNA BURN THAT MOTHERFUCKER DOWN! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

i love the first album, it's genius, but the new is frankly a disappointment - it's not bad, but it's FAR from the first.

[halfmex1]

Mic Jagger status right there!

[stevebakereric]

ugh his voice is soooooo good!

[DBlizx]

Nickelback sucks...that is all.

[Thebrowntown1234]

that singer needs to relax

[XR3DxX]

@Thebrowntown1234 uhh no not really you need to be more energetic Mr.mellow

[Thebrowntown1234]

@XR3DxX Energetic = Good

Tripping on Crack = Bad

[DDrewwP]

dude........the lead singer has got to stop doing lsd before each performance...

[RH2332]

@DDrewwP hahaha

[TTGBMR]

ther gonna be on letterman on tuesday....AND I GOT TICKETS!!!

[richardg136]

mike seems nervous

[KristinNirvana]

Days of the New are from Kentucky.

[ubergeek81]

@divad201435 yeah...and muhammad ali...johnny depp...abe lincoln...

[pyro2020]

Hes Feeling the music some lead singers are full of energy when they perform like the hives lead singer

CAGE THE ELEPHANT FTW

Fags go listen to some nickelback or some shit

[NikoBellicinLiberty]

is lincoln fingerpicking?

[andrewbrown430]

Kentucky and Bowling Green have a pretty sweet music scene. Lots of good tunes come from the old KY.

[nlacia]

i like the song, but the lead needs to get off the coke. Seriously.

[tcb19931234]

not liking the keyboard part in this that they've probably been made to put in for the commercial show.

[72Roo67]

Cage the elephant is one of my favourite bands.

BUT SERIOUSLY, if he stopped bouncing his voice wouldnt be as shaky.

[fireinthehoe]

wtf is the guy on the far right for? He does nothing most of the time and has no enthusiasm at all. Total mood killer for the band

[faufan13]

@fireinthehoe the guy on the far right is Daniel Tichenor, he is the bass player, in this song all of the lead up to the chorus doesnt really have any bass so thats why he is standing there not doing anything, because he has nothing to play for most of the song. hes def not a mood killer, this band puts on the greatest live performance ive ever seen live

[kellytich]

@faufan13 You are totally right...and people that say those types of things don't know a damn thing about music and the roles that are played. Daniel is my cousin and he certainly isn't a buzz kill. He kicks ass!!!

[nlacia]

what the hell is wrong with this guy? i love the song, but i think this guy needs to go into rehab.

[juffan]

I don't care how ridiculous hr looks, and he looks quite ridiculous, as long as they keep pumping out the killer tunes

[globalchaos1984]

@juffan He looks awesome shaking and shit! Its called ADHD and that's where the creativity flows from. 

[juffan]

@globalchaos1984 I don't think he has ADHD. Where did you hear that? I think he just has killer dance moves.

[fireinthehoe]

@juffan the guy has very minor ADD and he chooses to not take meds before a performance since thats his style. He is normal off stage

[melrosi85]

Its crazy how he can sing, (and sing well), while spazzing out like that. Love it!

[docBOSS1444]

i fucking love these guys

[Montyg213]

whoa! all i wanna do is punch the singer in the face!

[StringTweak]

I love these guys...saw them live, they have such good stage presence, they really put on a show!

[Schwarze69]

This guy is obviously high and wired.

[misssiberia69]

They have a great style. The lead singer is cute too.

[AddictedFort1E]

Cage the Elephant is definately one of my favorite newer bands, but damn... this performance looks very awkward.

[fireinthehoe]

oh gawd he sings as if he is mentally challenged...but in a good way?!!!!! this is awesome

[NunoGavazzi]

@fireinthehoe he has ADD and he doesnt take medication before concerts beacuse he says that the add make his dance moves look good

[fjdksla243]

"good music is good music and the rest can go to hell" - dave matthews

this is good music.

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

@fjdksla243 Too bad Dave Matthews makes terrible music.

[fjdksla243]

@BigOlBagOfWhatsNew okay? i don't give a shit if you like dave matthews, keep your wasteful comment to yourself

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

@fjdksla243 Woahhhhhhhh, calm down kiddo.

[fjdksla243]

@BigOlBagOfWhatsNew i wasnt actually mad, just saying I dont care what music you like, I never asked, therefore it was a pointless comment

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

@fjdksla243 I never told you what music I like.

[fjdksla243]

@BigOlBagOfWhatsNew good. don't. :)

[guitayrplaya]

They're awesome live, but it always looks like Matt's in the middle of OD-ing during songs lol

[kugsy]

borderlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyCartKemmet]

He is SO hi!

[eddyvillmarryme]

I love him but how can he keep the mic at his mouth spazzing like that??

[CrazyWyteGuy]

Why was Brads guitar up so high? Looks uncomfortable...

[83NNYT]

"if you pay the right pipes"

[ExamManMovie]

I'm all for rocking out and feeling the music, but I feel like his jittering affects the quality of his singing.

[35TCK]

Haha. He was just like, dude stop singing to the bassist at the end.

[eddyvillmarryme]

@35TCK Didn't see that until I read that... Meany!!

[BoilerByBlood]

Dude reminds me a Jagger. Amazing stuff!!!!!

[jlarkn]

haha, i love how he just walks off with the bassist's mic

[CageTE17]

The singer doesnt have to be on drugs to freak out like that, thats what I'd be doing with my guitar if people were watching, there's nothing wrong with being a spaz. Actually its better to be a spaz because people go wild when they're out there live, I've seen them.

[DownWithLiquid]

the bassist kooks like roger waters from pink floyd

[ftpmirage]

their so awesome live

got to see them in st pete and all of their songs sound so good live(back against the wall sounded better live)

great new band

reminds me of beck but a bit better

[equalitykills]

hatin on himself like that

[madcow92june]

The lead singer looks like he's high on something,kinda like the lead singer of jimmy eat world

[benh100]

incredible stuff! best band ever been on letterman! Guitarist bit average tho

[130013Lover]

damn how does he find time to breathe

[JoshPahr]

I don't care if people think Matt looks goofy when he sings, he has his own vibe, and unlike 90% of the bands currently, they actually sound the same or better live compared to studio.

[72Roo67]

@JoshPahr i cant agree with you on that one, i reckon they sound thier best in the borderlands theme song

[five0deuce]

Kentucky represent, dude needs to take a breath though ha. good stuff.

[iRbLAnk]

He's not trying to dance dumb asses he is just being different from every1 else. Notice how u all know who he is now? Bowling green 4 life!!

[DannyJordinson]

great to see new underground bands getting publicity,im getting tired of all the rest of the mainstream music clogging up the radio and tv.

[BenT3hWin]

God daaaamn daniel is fuckin tall

[naota1800]

that guy looks tripped out off of coke

[83NNYT]

looks like somebody's been studying old mick jagger videos...

[TheDoubleABatteries]

haha I got to meet them cuz they are friends of a friend and they came to her 24th birthday. i love them but the lead singer cant dance :)

[BlitzkreigYYZ]

what lead singer can dance? maybe David Lee Roth and Steven Tyler, but not many can.

[REmaster96]

Ha I never knew they were from my hometown lol

[CaliforniaBabeWV]

Damn, they're good live. They're truly an amazing and unique band. They KICK ASS!

[SAMF2000]

can't say anything too bad that song made it into a top selling game being BORDERLANDS...Wonder if they made any money from the sales.

[HiImSylar]

The singer seems like he stole the bass players mic at the end so that he'd be the only one singing......seems like a douche thing to do

[dakotadenverdexter]

I think it was just a spur of the moment thing. Doubt he would do something like considering the bass player singing had to be planned and him have had sung on this song before.

[naota1800]

yeah wtf was that , but it looked pretty funny

[CageTE17]

@HiImSylar I think it had a little like handle near the middle, doing that spaz things gets tireing...I think it was just for something to hold onto

[HiImSylar]

@CageTE17 Idk.....he couldve just grabbed on but he full on took it away.....Could be wrong through *shrugs*

[hambone2320]

I agree. I'm tired of all the cookie cutter music out there today, they all sound the same. I'm tired of hearing rip offs of pearl jam too!! This band awsome. They sound like no one but them, and thats' why I respect it. All of these bands today are no different than NSYNC or new kids on block etc, their all pieced together by the big wigs at the record companies. Not these guys, they grew up together, and just like ACDC sound better and more authentic.This band will be around 4 a long time

[benglee14]

@hambone2320 yea this song sounds exactely like the white stripes.

[jammin4ever]

I know man I would be nervous as hell on letterman too, these guys jam, no doubt about it. some of the best music I've heard on the radio in a long damn time, about time a group like this showed up

[hazza335]

I remember the first time I ever saw or even heard of this band was this exact performance on letterman and at the time I was thinking "is he ok?" especially when he grabs the bass players mic stand, but since hearing the studio version and now listening to it and seeing it again, I really enjoyed it.

[Jatangles]

You think these guys act like douchebags on stage.... Look up Glam Rock. Nuff said.

Ya... he sounds like hes having MAJOR stage fright... They usually sound much better.

[ShawiitZ]

I have been looking aroung and found out that the singer got some sort of ADHD. Even if they act like that live, who gives a shit really, its good stuff =)

[heresjohnny07]

Maybe he has Parkinson's disease or something similar to that?

[chickenchaser86]

I used to like this band til i saw a couple of vids of them live like this one... they act like retards on stage...

[MrKickyourbutt]

@chickenchaser86 It's retards like you why music is in the shitter these days. Concerned more about appearance than the actual music. Go listen to some more Nickelback and leave the good bands to people who appreciate them.

[FreezeSukka]

Couldn't have said it any better, dude.

[Waterworks410]

@MrKickyourbutt amen brother

[TheSuperArbiterBacon]

@MrKickyourbutt Its people like you and me that are rare these days, noticing good music when they hear it, unlike like the rest of the idiots that dont listen to music for fun or because they love it, they just go with what ever is popular

[72Roo67]

@chickenchaser86 shouldnt you just like what the music sounds like?

[headbanger327]

@chickenchaser86 no they act like they're fucking enjoying themselves, you fucking dip shit cocksucker, music is about MUSIC NOT IMAGE

[ssnatcherss]

Not very tight...

Their album was well-produced and they write good songs though.

[passiveMenis]

They act like douchebags on stage, but good stuff.

[blink234234234]

drugs much? good song tho

[AtomiCMagEntA]

danny t is effing BEAST.

[feedMeKNOWledge]

dont know what to think!! first time i seen them was on lettermn show. i like though. sort of a wierd attraction but the song is great!!

--

Sent from my Helio Ocean

[jamalam17z7]

i would like them more if they didnt talk shit about bowling green

[gingerb91]

You tell 'em. Bowling Green is a good place.

[surfacing06]

What the hell is wrong with him?!

[KatieinaLull]

He actually sounds nervous! They've come a long way, though. Good for them.

[theatrejunkie101]

oh matt, he's such a spaz. I love him. I love this song. I love Cage the elephant.

[atillathehunniee]

Hahaha he sure is. I just saw them live and this is extremely mild compared to a live show. They're awesome. He started a mosh and jumped off the speakers into the crowd.

[theatrejunkie101]

I just saw them live too :) and I met him, but I acted like an idiot because I was starstruck. But he's so nice and chill when he's not on stage. But as soon as he gets on that stage maaaaan, watch out.

[atillathehunniee]

Lucky! I get starstruck too when I meet people. I've met all my favorite musicians and have acted like an idiot each time haha.

[theatrejunkie101]

same! haha.

[Robopencil]

Looks like he's having a seizure.

[pattyjohnmarlin]

Great song & great band, But Matty looks like he injested himself with a bit of herion before the show...

[pstarf]

yeah-... song sounds better in the album its all cuz hes moving like he has freaking parkinsons

[urabusxrw04]

I actually think it sounds a lot better here. The bass doesn't even kick in until the second verse on the album. it sounds incomplete.

[contempt77]

or maybe he did a line :P

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

did anyone else notice how the singer took the mic away from the bass player at the end? kind of a dick move

[casmafen]

uhh where? he shook letterman's hand. that's about it

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

3:01-3:05

[GunsAndPoker]

This band is like a breath of fresh air - about time a good group comes around.

-GunsAndPoker-->

[nickluvr15]

yea matt the singer is a great guys i no him he is a friend of mine

[nenahbball]

no one gives a shit

[theturbocarrot]

@GunsAndPoker Everything new is actually well-forgotten old. This is exactly what Beck did 15 years ago.

[nickluvr15]

i actually no da singer matt

[MourningCandle]

So you've mentioned-

"is a great guys." "Da." "No." Man, you need to go back to school. Those are elementary mistakes. "Matt is a great guy" and "you know the singer" is what you're trying to say.
