The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

[MrAce7x]

originally good fucking tune and brian fallon made it 100 times better

[SENDHELPprodutions]

@scross35 he didint call anyone out, he likes JJ himself thats why he coverd it. he said hes a huge fan.

[SCross35]

I love how Brian calls all the people who hate on Jack Johnson just because they think it's cool out. Seriously, mellow out. I'm not crazy about JJ myself but the most vocal haters are usually the fakest.

[AdamTheKiing]

i love jack johnson and gaslight. to hear brian doing a cover is mind blowing

[dwright05]

Brian Fallon is a god in the making. And I agree with the premature releases. He pours his heart and soul into each line of each song and he wants everyone to share the moment of its release with him

[gspr00lz]

he looks a little like slipknots corey taylor both great musicians

[weakweek85]

i just lost a little respect for the guy....*listens to gaslight anthem....ok its back :)

[Chrazzari]

@weakweek85 haha I got that feeling when first listening to this song :P

[cagethepepper]

I'm sure Brian isn't perfect, nobody is, but goddamn it, I love this man. He's the kind of dude you wanna chill out with and talk about life.

[DontEatYell0wSnow]

Amazing.

[sombo117]

@Chrazzari you bastard i thought he really died i was sad for a second

[Chrazzari]

@sombo117 sorry bro

[Chrazzari]

@BrandonFite182 also...

On his non-offical live in boston album, he say'd "I was talking to the guy from the record company and he said are you worried about the leek of the album? and I said no, are you, and he said nah man at least kids want it"

But Recently on his blog (cassets in the mailbox) he said "For once can someone have the respect of an artist or band to let them release their creation in it's entirety when they deem it ready?"

That's Punk to pop/rock

just my oppinion :/

[BrandonFite182]

@Chrazzari ah you didn't mean literally. Shit you made me think he died or something. Anyway, I respect your opinion, I don't really agree but you never asked if I did lol. I think what he meant by what he said was "can the album get out first instead of playing one song early with mediocre sound quality?" I get exactly where you're comming from, and by no means am I trying to be a dick, but I think he was really proud Elsie & wanted others to love it as much. I think his morals are still there

[Chrazzari]

@BrandonFite182 okay, that's a good way of looking at it. :D (Im happy to hear your opinion btw)

though it still worried me because, he's all for following the way toms going.

and I hope they still are bro, we'll see as more and more albums come out. xD

[SCross35]

@Chrazzari Look bro, the reason Brian was angry about that leak is that the tracks that were released weren't done yet. Imagine you poured your blood sweat and tears into a project for months and before you put the final touches on it, someone released it to the world in working form? I'd be bullshit, too.

[Chrazzari]

@BrandonFite182 yeah :(

He's well looks like he's gonna end up like Tom Gabel, and stop playing punk, and start going to more popular stuff. Just listen to the difference in Sink or Swim to American Slang, American Slang sounds more like an album do get the chicks :/ whereas Sink or Swim seems to have more in depth meaning.

[palmerdeanmlX]

Fallon just has this habit of making any song an amazing work of art, I'm not a fan of jack johnson at all and he just makes seem like so much more than it is

[TheMaragorn]

very nice cover. and thanks for the solo stuff. I'm all for more of them, so yay!

[Chrazzari]

@TheMaragorn thats fine, thanks for the comment, It really makes me feel thats its worth the time :) even just a comment like this can make my day heaps better, so thanks heaps. I love TGA :D

[TheMaragorn]

@Chrazzari youre welcome, and yeah it is ;). glad heaps I made your day better. and I DO love them, too! feel like I'm devouring every acoustic song of TGA there is on here haha...

[THEHMAESTER]

guitarists' any idea how he plays it ' its deffo diffrent from original

[Chrazzari]

@THEHMAESTER Well strumming pattern is easily picked up by ear,

I don't know how to pick chords from sounds sorry

[relyTsIemaNyM]

@THEHMAESTER Verse: Am G F C Chorus: E Am E Am G F - you can probably figure out the rest, hope this helps :)

[relyTsIemaNyM]

@relyTsIemaNyM tuned a whole step down

[LennonDylanBruce]

@THEHMAESTER

I think the verses are Am, G. Chorus Em, Am, G, Am.

[JohnZackarias]

I heard the original on the radio yesterday and I just got so excited that I recognized the song.

[emthedrummer]

He always makes me smile.

[FrostyUnicornRider95]

what a lovelyman!

[TheWrongTone112]

Brian Fallon is a fuckin king

[sammansonlove]

Jack Johnson's is better. But this is done well.

[miera1029]

i love him! :D he is so cute

[MusicMasterTasmania]

Wow this is actually awesome. I thought this cover wouldn't suit Brian, but he actually pulls it off really well. What a great listen :)

[Chrazzari]

@MusicMasterTasmania Yeah I thought that too, but all it took was a listen

[RSEclipz88]

This man pisses excellence I swear.

[Chrazzari]

@RSEclipz88

lol, I didn't expect a comment like that

[SmileFromGlasgow]

This man could make the alphabet sound like the most poetic thing ever written.

[Chrazzari]

@SmileFromGlasgow

I hope he makes an alphabet song, it would so take over the current one xP, I just want every song he's ever covered and written

[inbetweenthemirror]

Damn. I need new pants.

[Chrazzari]

@inbetweenthemirror

Um I hope you mean you like his pants, not that you "got off" to this vid :/...

[lazylauren111]

it absoloutely made my day when i was shoppin new look of all places, and gaslight anthem's american slang came on. It made me so happy, i started dancin round the shop :D

[Chrazzari]

@lazylauren111

That would be F**king AWESOME, In Aus our radio stations usually have crap on

[thetompenney1]

The two hosts are shocked at how well he performs this.

[Chrazzari]

@thetompenney1

They are...

[JohnZackarias]

I prefer this version to the original, because Fallon doesn't play those strange jazz chords.

[Chrazzari]

@JohnZackarias

Yeah, this makes it sound more real, like with just the basic Acoustic chords

[JohnZackarias]

@Chrazzari Yeah exactly.

Sidenote: It really makes me happy when he says "Yeah, chillax everybody". I don't know why, he just has this down to earth, calm way of talking.

[Chrazzari]

@JohnZackarias

yeah, I listened to this on the radio (in Aus we don't have a real punk radio, so I don't listen much),

So when I head him on the way 2 skool, It more than made my day...

[JohnZackarias]

@Chrazzari That must have been sweet, man.

In Sweden it's even worse, they'd never get someone like Brian Fallon on the radio, even if Gaslight Anthem turned way more famous. All they care about it stupid Eurodisco and shit. God damn.

[Chrazzari]

@JohnZackarias

I hate that stuff, we have other shit like Usher and Kesha...

What I hate even more is the people who do nothing more than listen 2 pop, and like it coz its catchy and on the radio... I wish people would listen/ try different music 2 the shit that they call music not noise which for me it is...

[saysolong]

well, he made me like this song finally. the man cant fail.

[Chrazzari]

@saysolong

no he can't :)

[Chrazzari]

Hey, I'm thinking of getting a Brian Fallon acoustic Album, and need some suggestions if you can please email the youtube video link of the song you want put into the Brian Fallon Acoustic Album, my email address is chrazzari@gmail.com

[LennonDylanBruce]

@Chrazzari

Awesome, make sure to include this great cover.

[Chrazzari]

@LennonDylanBruce

Will do I am also going to include Cassanova Baby by him sitting in the back of a car, look on youtube it's worth the watch... And with this album for me there is no size limit if you just email me all the songs + links for them (even if they're youtube vids) they will probably go into the album, just probably not to of one song...

[CutToRibbons]

Totally a fool for Fallon. <3 I swear I fall more in love every day.

[Chrazzari]

@CutToRibbons

xD

[walkingmishap]

Freaking amazing. Brian REALLY needs to put out either a solo acoustic album, or even a compilation of acoustic songs covers like this one.

[Chrazzari]

@walkingmishap

Yeah I hope he does!

[Chrazzari]

@Chrazzari

look @ my above post

[Chrazzari]

All of these Views must be from me.. coz I just keep coming back 2 it...

[tonibobela]

Great !!

[Chrazzari]

@tonibobela

Thanks good too hear other people's input...
