The Gaslight Anthem - "Great Expectations" Side One Dummy

[hannahamie95]

I feel genuine rage against the people who disliked this, how can you dislike this?!

[16roach]

My favourite Gaslight Anthem Song;)

[RitzLo87]

woah, good bands DO still exist. and there NOT digital bs 4 on the floor fist pumpin shenanigans!

[DazmanJ25790]

@RitzLo87 they definitely exist, you just have to look a bit harder, check out these new guys, casper and the howling

[Crazyclock222]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

[Lululein90]

1:01 <3

[ncc74656m]

Just incredible. I saw the live vid of Springsteen's "No Surrender" and he really fit right in.

[zemaitis1021]

saikou!!

[TheCoffliner]

wich is that song from 1962?

[damnthewerehog]

1:01

What a guy!

[eddy9524]

These Post-Punk bands are really starting to kickass now adays :)

[xsamestesx]

punk rock

[Zengx]

What CD was this on?

[Opivy29]

@Zengx 59 Sounds bro. You need to get this album.

[sportysoccerboy1]

If Paul Westeberg was a woman and had Bruce Springsteen's child, this is just what he would sound like.

[peacefrog002]

beautiful band. music and lyrics touch me deep everytime.. every song by

them help me when I'm glad and when I'm sad. thank you gaslight anthem

[goodtubeboob]

jersey is awsome produces some of the best bands ever.

[mclovin22898]

Is it just me or does this building look kinda like the same building in bring it on STILL I LOVE THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM THEY ARE THE REAL JERSEY GUYS

[ichinii808]

@mclovin22898 *chuckles* well, if it is, why not right XP? and yeah, the gaslight anthem is awesome ^^

[caughtinacadence]

@MusicFiend2310 magic

[StayYoungGoDancing]

saw them a few weeks ago in rostock, germany.. effin BRILLIANT!! :)

[nfo944]

the singer seems to be a ryan gosling brother

[Pocokmuci]

@nfo944 exactly this was my thought today :)

[VeganKore]

Sincerely, this is by far the better song i've heard in all my lifetime.

[kevfreeflight1]

Discovered this band after watching them on BBC at Glastonbury. Following day I bought all their albums and am hooked. Can relate to this track so much and am looking forward to seeing them in the future. Just a brilliant sound, none of this electronic crap, just three guitars and drums. How music should be. Certainly best part of Glastonbury for me. New discovery and simply the best band around by far. Keep on rocking lads. Kev

[kamikazedreamer1]

27 dislikes?!

27 people don't know what music is. Fallon is the man.

[linksschritt1]

Beste!!

[hyperesh]

Favourite Gaslight anthem song???

[Bredou7]

one of the best songs in the world!!! Love the lyrics!!!!

[RedChalklines]

I had never heard about Gaslight Anthem until I heard them yesterday live at Pinkpop. They were one of the best acts of the festival.

[ozzcar1]

don't like his voice.. he only sings the same few notes... haha

[Darkeklaw]

@ozzcar1 It's PUNK dumbass... Same three notes... Not all Punk is the Sex Pistols

[doctornick0]

how does this sound anything like The Killers?

[91kx125racer]

@doctornick0 exactly, thery are two totally didfeerent types of bands, you cant even compare the crappy killers with the great b.fallon

[91kx125racer]

it is disrespectful to compare a band, like the gaslight anthem, to killers. killers, is like a pop band, if you listen to their music, they dont go all out with passion in their songs. brian fallon, in his songs with gaslight anthem, and even just acoustic covers, the words come with his heart, and he sings with 100% passion. i cant believe you people!

[housefan345]

@91kx125racer that's not true, Brandon Flowers is one of the best and most passionate singers EVER!

[KathrynnnnnXD]

Am I the only one who thinks they sound nothing like the killers? Anyway, I absolutely love this song.

[theticklemonster100]

who cares if this MAY sound like the killers.

they are still a incredible band, and also there thousands of bands that sound like each other these days anyway...there have been since music fucking started.

[TheMrDudeWTF]

is he playing a gibson les paul jr?

[shredder1390]

@TheMrDudeWTF it would appear so

[hateban]

they sound like gaslight anthem

[Do0dLeZ]

I'm so happy to know this band!

[SofiesNotSober]

He looks like he really hates that microphone

[Csphhhm]

sound exactly like the killers...

[midairman]

@Csphhhm Untrue.

[I8RICKROLLERS]

@MusicFiend2310 shit thats harsh

[john711ify]

How do you hear the Killers? If they sound like anything I would say kind of a mix of Against Me! with Alkaline Trio, but they still have there own sound. Either way this band is fucking awesome.

[PedroAsneira]

This is what happens when you grow up listening to Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, among some other great musicians.

[brittonZhanks]

Kind of sounds like "The Killers" love it!

[SmileFromGlasgow]

@brittonZhanks No, no it doesn't. For example: These guys are talented. Funny, I heard the drummer talk about someone saying that and it apparently made him quite mad. I guess he agrees with me.

Also, 25 people have awful hearing.

[brittonZhanks]

@SmileFromGlasgow Oh. Well I just thought the singer sounded like singer from "The Killers".

[nfo944]

I don't know why, but when I look to the singer I remember Ryan Gosling!

[scrabs92]

From what I read in an interview, this song was written in about five minutes... Holy crap, Brian is a lyrical master mind!!

[XxxSteeltitanxxX]

Just heard this song today.How recent are they?

[xxstarssokissablexx]

@XxxSteeltitanxxX

They just released, "American Slang," was released on June 15, 2010. So they're still recent. That's the bands 3rd album.

[MrBifocles]

You how when you hear a song its your kind of song with out even listening to the wholething that's this ma'an grea stuff

[michaelfines45]

people have been telling me how good this band is and i finally listened. Thank god! this is incredible music! this has so much more artistic talent compared to anything ive heard in years! im a fan!

[metallicaxjavoxmcr]

It's so sad that people NOWADAYS prefer mainstream, badly composed music over quality music like this.

[xxAlexLoves182xx]

look up for reckless abandon it sounds just like this song (beginning)

[IanTheSecondComing]

Is there a band as underrated as The Gaslight Anthem??? One of the best albums I've ever heard :)

[thexeris]

i love The Gaslight Anthem

[BiaxialRain]

i heard their song The '59 Sound and couldn't stop listening for a little while then i forgot about them because of school and everything then I saw them on BlankTv's channel and was like I remember those guys! I love them :)

[baseballP25]

anybody think the lead singer looks like Jay from Jay and Silent Bob

[SuperPacman1993]

@MusicFiend2310 yea was the same story with me but im over it now and today i just gave the album to my friend who is depressed at the moment :/ hope it helps her too

[argonaut115]

nothing needs to be said... just epic

[Earljgibbard]

Awesome made my night

[t3ngu]

21 ppl have sadly no expectations in life

[RockoSDMF]

Every time I listen to this song, I have to follow it up by listening to Night Moves by Seger. Thanks Brian. lol

[Iamthechosen111]

saw these guys at Soundwave yesterday :) highlight of my year

[PaulH2811]

came across them in kerrang, not bad

[meddeyc]

This isn't punk. It sounds like the Hot Stuff album - Killers

[Thor27436]

@meddeyc

It's not punk like Sink or Swim, no. It's not like Hot Stuff either, far too folky. Also there's no crap on the album.

[PoeticJustice05]

@Thor27436 It's indie rock. This is straight from the school of The Strokes.

[JoeySlugs]

@PoeticJustice05 You have ZERO idea what you are talking about.

This is rock music. Straight from the school of The Replacements, Springsteen, and Joe Strummer.

[PoeticJustice05]

@JoeySlugs I can hear those, too. But you can't deny the strokes influence. It's got that simplified rock and roll form.

[AceTheSniperBorger]

@MusicFiend2310 I agree so much. Bayside has a song where they say "Wonder whats the next band to change my life" and I wondered for a long time until I found Gaslight, They changed my outlook so much. You know, in order to feel the kind of pain to relate to people like Us, Mr. Fallon had to go through some SHIT. In a way im glad he did, so he could be there to make this great record.

[InsanenessForever]

Where have they been my whole life? D=

Jesus, why didn't I notice this band earlier T-T

[heartcorepunx]

THIS IS PUNK

[KingSmazo8]

@MusicFiend2310 been there mate, it's a bad place, the gaslight never goes a miss during those times.

[EngoiCandy15]

they sound alot like the replacements

[bLuLi0N]

i usually listen to hip hop. and when i heard this back in 09, i started to wonder why i punish myself by listening to some of the 'music' i do.

[snazzyskills]

the first time i ever heard this band was at oxegen 09 in ireland,,,,,,,me and my friend just saw there name on the list if times for the day and noone else i wanted to see was on then so we said fuck it we will go see these...........thank god noone else i wanted to see was playing then we were absolutely blown away by them and i still love this band now :)

[714ponyboy]

yawn...

[frankenhumper]

This song sounds alot like a modern Johnny Cash. I like it alot

[JuliaIsHere3]

I jut read the book that this is based on, I love this song.

[Fozzinski]

this is music for everyone and alltimes!!!

[BeNNzuFG]

I heard them with my girlfriend for the first time on 1 January 2011 in the Hard Rock Cafe in Barcelona. Great start for the new year... Love you babe, if you read this...

[sikkirikki]

Brian, if you see this I'm damn proud of you and hope to get back in touch with you buddy, this is SPEEDIE BRO!!!

[gexista]

everybody leaves, so why wouldn't you? .. so true..

[JoBoHD]

this song is chiiiill :)

[xAT4]

Thumbs up if Jonny sent you here :D

[seren8fy]

people who dislike this song must be deaf !!!!!!!!

[SonicSoulCipher]

@seren8fy or they dont like it??!!??

[shit311]

@seren8fy just deaf? they must be dead

[KingMuleRobba]

@seren8fy

...or different than you.

[wuzzywierdo]

@KingMuleRobba no i realy think they must be deaf

[KingMuleRobba]

@wuzzywierdo

So you're deaf?

[wuzzywierdo]

@KingMuleRobba that doesn't even make sense idiot, i liked this video!

[KingMuleRobba]

@wuzzywierdo

Finally, an opinion.

I don't like this video nor do I like this music and no, I'm not deaf, logically.

[wuzzywierdo]

@KingMuleRobba so your just dumb? if you dont like this music than fuck up! this video is for the people that DO like it, not for the people that hate it! no one ses you HAVE TO watch it!

[pkmn7777777]

@wuzzywierdo i like how you call him dumb when you can't even use the proper "you're" 

[wuzzywierdo]

@pkmn7777777 there are two proper reasons for that,

1: i dont want to spent to much time on a idiot like you.

2: i'm not realy english so i dont know al the english grammar shit.

( i LOVE arguing over youtube:P)

[RHSSCHTV]

@seren8fy I was deaf, but this awesome sound cured it!

[JegErKing1990]

@seren8fy Or just a different taste than you?

It's funny how that is not allowed on youtube :/

[TheCoffliner]

@seren8fy liked your comment before I heard the song cuz I´ve heard "the 59 sound"

[ashvic2]

@seren8fy Justin Beiber has 29 Youtube accounts

[EmilyRoz2]

I love this song. <3 The first Gaslight Anthem song I heard, and it got me hooked. <3

[WizmummyProductions]

heard the name of these guys on TV this morning so i decided to check them out

glad i did :)

[bassistmatt]

keep on going, good to hear this band are being such a positive influence on people's lives, i lost my motorcycle licence for a year and these guys cheer me up. seriously how good are these guys? got it all, catchy bare bones punk to rock n roll references, intricate guitar work, sure there's an autoharp on "blue jeans and white t shirts", harmonicas and brian's voice! and the image! greaser punk! if you want to hate yourself listen to emo, want to defeat your demons and LIVE? listen to these!

[jrs5606]

this is my first time hearing em and i liek it :) just an observation they sound a lot like old school Alkaline Trio

[seren8fy]

@jrs5606 so true!!

[sassvampire]

i don't like their new album.. :(

old songs are better. but i still love these guys!

[butcherettesmiles]

missss U Erick... :(

[suburbansoftrocker]

Wild ways, wild days.

[diegoatwhore]

1st song I heard by this band...I've stumbled onto something great..Frankly, I cried for a minute..No songs done that in quite a long time. <3

[xsimplex11]

rules my life



[Bulgozer]

Which song from 1962 are they humming?

[xeric13x]

@Bulgozer I don't know, ask Bob Seger. [see Night Moves, please].

[hwydog69]

you guys really rock i went to see MCR last night 12/3/10 at Roseland and got and added bonus form GLA love you guys sure your not from NEW York you could be the first born on 33rd street lol,,,, TY for a great show.

[ctr36096]

@hwydog69 lol that was hilarious. Bronx doesnt count! don't forget.

[feeliicks]

brian fallon´s a god.

[fanatastick1]

Never heard of them until i saw them at Leeds festival by chance. Was literally blown away, fantastic band. Great live sound. Plus seem like really nice guys! Very impressive.

[TheLittleGreenMan102]

@fanatastick1 there are 15, well now 16 idiots.

[fanatastick1]

@TheLittleGreenMan102 Agreed!

[LunasCraincloud]

@fanatastick1 No sir you were not literally Blown away you were metaphorically blown away. But yet they are a mighty fine band. NOW GO GET AN ENGLISH DICTIONARY DAMMIT!!!

[camdensmith555]

@LunasCraincloud shut the fuck up and listen to the music

[LunasCraincloud]

@camdensmith555 Ah fighting someone else is battles Hmm?

you cannot blame me for wanting to see people use words like "Literally" The right way.

[getthefuckofflol]

@LunasCraincloud Dear sir Capslock, you don't if he was really blown away unless you saw it for yourself. So go sound smart somewhere else.

[nuttyboy007]

@getthefuckofflol Just to clear this up, you're both wrong. He was 'figuratively' blown away. Dont' argue back to someone doing a degree in English language.

[nuttyboy007]

@nuttyboy007 Typo. Damn it. *Don't*

[xtdk2010x]

15 hit dislike because they dont like the song

[rychamomile]

15 people hit dislike because they didn't like the video

[xxemililyxx]

Saw then last night! Were amazing, and Brian Fallon is a lovely guy :')

[thurston138]

i've only just discovered these guys. and they're fucking amazing!

[Underseige666]

reminds me of early bruce springsteen...

[pinetone000]

@Underseige666 no way?! that wierd because they said they hate him and new jersey.

[AestheticAsthmatic]

@Underseige666 they will eclipseBruce, hands down, brian has a gift, read jt

[Killmesomepenguins]

@dcdude171

Uh, bass is a Fender Precision Bass and the lead guitar is a Fender Jazzmaster.......so yeah, I love how they use Fender™

[Brucebaby102]

so sexy he is

[littlefurballs]

@Brucebaby102 I agree!! He's also mega talented and just pours his heart out in his music which makes him even sexier

[PeachesB91]

There sound is really good:)

[phanatyks]

everybody leaves. I'd expect this much from you.

[pakmanmanc]

sounds more like springstien if you ask me. maybe because he's from new jersey

[TheAxlrose103]

They sound like social distortion in a way

[TheAxlrose103]

saw them at bonnaroo was a really good show

[GateFail]

Not the usual song I would go for. I dont love it, but it was pleasant to listen to. Chorus is good though, lyrically atleast.

[onandon19]

this shits kinda gay. is there a song thats better than this?

[Otherien]

@onandon19 dude you listen to The Arctic Monkeys...'nuff said

[onandon19]

@Otherien yea,so does the whole world. i dono the chorus is kinda the whole song. and the chorus kinda mkes me cringe. but... i heard from some1 they really underestimated them, and they r actually really good. so im jus curious what songs those were LOL

[rinzaffo]

rock 'n' roooooooooooooooooooooolllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! li voglio vedere in italia!!!!!!!!!!

[nicolettarossiganzer]

[Mompy0yeh]

Heard this on [v] hardcore last night, had forgotten how much I love it.

[guitardedbassist]

i saw these guys supporting Social Distortion in Düsseldorf and they were awesome.

No one compares to Social D though.

[Mietzal]

I cannot wait to see them :)

[gameboi123]

@Mietzal  ACL !!!!1

[HailTheGeek]

Those guys are ready to rock the real big stages of the world. And dammit, they deserved it so much!

[wilfredthebold]
