Kooks at Glastonbury - Sway

[OldThompsonpremium]

badaaasss hugh backs up into the speakers at 3:18 to use the feedback

[marianalcf88]

this version is soooo much better than the one that ended up in the album!

[mesingze]

.. but you did. Song just reminds me so much .. on something, somewhere, once. aHH.

[Thatoneguykid]

does anyone know how Luke gets his shirts like that, or where he gets them?

[patsch4895]

@Thatoneguykid haha i always wonderd also how he gets his shirts like that .lol i think he cuts them cause i haven`t seen them anywhere they are so dead cool ;-)

[freddypoo4]

i got teary eyed listening to this song last night. its so beautiful. and could someone help me? i just started listening to these guys and im in love! what are they doing now? are they split? writing? or what?

[hss321x]

@freddypoo4 Course not! New album out in September, new single out soon 'Is It Me' look it up, recently performed it on Alan Carr

[TA4687]

@freddypoo4 They are about to release a new album that called Junk of the heart, so yes, they have been working on it after his last album (Konk) have come out in 2008. The album will be released in 12 September 2011 :)

[playingtheguitarlike]

@Bekagujejiani wow. it must be hard for luke and max to play this song together..

[Bekagujejiani]

Frontman Luke Pritchard told The News of the World that this song is really about their former bassist Max Rafferty. Pritchard explained: "I wrote 'Sway' about Max ages ago. I love the guy to death and I miss hanging out with him. But by the end, there were things he did that I won't miss any more. It's sad."

Singing about the person standing just next to him :)

[Matteotri83]

Thumbs up if you think this is the best version of 'sway' you've ever heard!

Wish I had seen this concert live....

[Blurgundy]

666 people like this? o.0 I always thought that the Kooks were from heaven...

[jnc0923]

who would dislike this? really

[Ruthie20187]

They are amazing live!!! Wish they´ll come to south americaaa!!

[soccerlaughlive]

@Ruthie20187 wish they would come to the northern hempisphere, thats what i want, lol

[gayfarmerboy]

@soccerlaughlive

They are in the Northern Hemisphere. They were born in England for christ sakes. You mean the western world?

[soccerlaughlive]

@gayfarmerboy ummm, i just mean that they should come to the us, haha

[gayfarmerboy]

@gayfarmerboy Oh. Sorry. There are a lot of other countries in the Northern Hempisphere. I can see what you meant though putting it into context with the previous comment of come to South America.

[kooks14]

this WHERE the kooks.. paul and Max , luke and hugh.

[Eadie14]

i was there that year and i missed it :O

shiitttttttttt.......

[SherwinDawson1]

i love hugh's tone

[oldranker]

If you dissed this than you are taking the piss. Glastonbury sucks these days, way too commercial, and yeah too many flags and WAY too many people. Ummm! doesn't that kind of sum up the world?

[DerLeo09]

crowd sucks !

[MelancholicWolf]

Hugh = Indie.

[Blubellfield]

Great solo !

[johannaGreiff]

one of my fav kooks songs :) <3

[jordanmanndude]

all this song needs is a proper epic 3 minute solo and it would be a thousand times better. and its still pretty awesome now. the tone of the les paul cannot be matched

[maddin9695]

reminds my a little bit of the solo from 'stairway to heaven', but...fucking shit...amazing :D

[roostergrl]

that voice is so sexy cool!!

[CouldntB3Arsed]

@roostergrl agreed!

[milanish001]

i jack off to this song everyday after school man !! sexcciiii!!

[Joostbeers]

What guitar does Luke play on?

Im looking for a new one maybe I could get something which is comparable to his guitar.

[darrian80]

Maton EBG808L, good luck, it costs over a thousand dollars, but it's worth it. BTW, he basically always uses Matons, you have probably seen his Mini Maton, it's a miniature version of the guitar in this video, Oh how I wish I had one :/

[Joostbeers]

@darrian80

Thanks for the info ;)

Allready googled his guitars and fount out that his Martins and Matons are just too expensive for me =P might save up for the Martin DCX 1 E or Martin DCX 1 RE.

Do you know the difference between the E and RE?

[darrian80]

No Idea... I wasn't aware he used Martins, I've seen them playing only Matons, Takamines and Gibsons..

[darrian80]

Oh, James Trussart for Luke's guitar and Duesenberhg for Hugh :P

[darrian80]

No Idea, i've never seen them playing Martins, basically they only use (in public) Matons, Takamines, Gibsons, James Trussart, Duesenberg, and some other ones I have absolutely no idea what brand they are, could be Martin. Lots of love, bye

[urta93]

I miss Max.

And now Paul ? Come on :(

Still, I love them to death, probably the best band ever.

[cRaMer347]

my favourite song ever, amazing live aswell (= <3 2:30 onward is fukin orgazmic xD

[bizza52]

i really love it that luke plays a maton!

[lenalovescakes]

haha that made my day =)

[acousticheadphones]

i love this version of the song

i was really disappointed when they changed it up for konk

[whatsgud4ya07]

AMAZING! this is just perfect.

LOVE the Kooks :)

[nathan123175]

Hugh is a GREAT !

[robcunny]

I hate the flags, you cant fucking see anything :(

[123emeraldwaters321]

TOTALLY AGREE i always think that when i see it on tv!!!!

[islandnr1]

Wow, first time I've seen the Icelandic flag at a foreign festival. Are people free to bring their own flags or are they handed out?

[JustYellowLemonTree]

Come to Moscow!!! pls!

[TrevTruth]

Hugh is sickk!!!

[whalerajm]

This band is smokin'! Great song...Looks like Kooks are not going to be one hit wonders after all!

[CaroDudelt]

hughs solo parts just kick ass basically!

[jiffijaffi]

someone tab that solo because thats class!

[jiffijaffi]

you can feel the passion in the song

[jsgc13]

GLASTONBURYYYY

[Ptiburdukoffa]

love this song!! wanna see them live!

[johnsmdm]

niggstopher said some mean things about me maams and sirs...it was vicious....

[MerveLovesTheKooks]

Great :D

I love it :)

[juminillo]

nope, Luke wrote Sway :) Max wrote Seaside ..you must have messed up the S's lol

[theDaYmetTheNighT95]

Oh really? I didn't know thta max wrote seaside! Wow...you learn something new everyday =D

[niggstopher]

which one is max?

[ogeid0]

the bassist

[leanderos]

@ogeid0 Whats with im thats max rafferty who left the band in 2008 right? now a days the bassist is peter denton

[rockabillychickee]

wow...i would so looooove to see them live

[andres11594]

i luv hugh´s improvised solo

surely my favourite band!!¡¡¡

[johaaannaa]

I haven't seen this glastonbury videos in ages, this reminds me so much about a year ago, I dunno HOW many times I had the part at 3.50 on repeat haha.....

I still love it.

[danyellbella35]

Amazing! i saw them in Toronto last year and they were incredible! i love this band so much

[JamesSillito]

apparently this song was written for max the bassist, before he left the band im not sure on this so dont hold me to it!!!!

But must of been quiet a monment on stage for them....love the kooks

[joost1510]

i thinks he sings much better.... but the strokes aren't my favorites anyway...

[foxgear04]

yeah but he has a better range and pitch than Julian Casablancas and he has a pommy accent

[KSJ1989]

I cant get over how nice Hughes guitar sounds. Anyone know what effects hes using?

[iagobroxado]

sounds like just amp's overdrive and a delay in some parts like at 1:44, but who knows if he has some racks on the back...I'm just getting to know the band. The guitar is a Gibson Deluxe Les Paul with Mini-Humbucker pickups.

[xmile5x]

where does he take that t-shirts from?

[resendess]

I'm not sure about that one but I live in Paris and a very very famous Parisian brand name makes some similar ones, they're not THAT well know abroad because they refuse to advertise : Zadig et Voltaire. It's very popular here though quite expensive, a t-shirt like that costs something like 70 euros.

[xmile5x]

thanks anyway, but there is no way to buy products of this company... any other suggestions? ;]

[ferperoro]

this band will be the strokes substitute !!

[ahmer18]

loove this soooooooong

[spencer0000000]

Great voice!!!!

[ferperoro]

suree! and look how old are they, 20 years old each?

They sing soo fucki'n good but my favorite voice is Julian Casablancas from the strokes

[jsgc13]

agree

[taddz19]

Screws up the lyrics but its all gooooods !

[bitka]

Kto by pomyślał że ten Muminek tak gra na gitarze :P. GR8

[xsk8erboi73x]

very good live

[blackbeltbrown]

what genre is this amaZing SonG

[mamaxmoises]

indie

[blackbeltbrown]

what genre is this amaZing SonG?

[Risya271]

indie rock =D

[cesarpierre]

pop

[marchbday1]

well the guy that the song is about is playing it too....doesn't really make sense hahaha

[Halo3Tricksterz]

yea the song is about the ex bass guitartist Max Rafferty about him leaving and come back into the band then finally going as luke and max were and are kinda still best friends I heared Hugh say in an interview the song is about max and the heared luke in the sway video behind the sences say it is about his friend

[MakeMeBadKornPorn]

nice les paul.. nice solo, much better than the cd version... super great guitarist, so creative, simply so Hugh :D

[RickJamesBitch1212]

anybody know what this song is about?

[chris152008]

either a duesenburg starplayer, or a gibson es-355, i think

[chris152008]

Yes, its a gibson les paul

[schuetzengartenbier]

stimmung? publikum?

[tonymontanatm23]

[nobloodyswearing]

[Oesi10]

[biggiespin]

Not Probably!

It Is!

[Jazazazazaz]

hughs intro and solo are awsome in this compared to the one on the record!

[CHErevolucion1]

totally agree on the album version he keeps doing this short little solo things and ytou want more. ya know?

[Jazazazazaz]

[Sombrazil777]

[kick4ss4life]

[Caalowey]

<3 Kooks

[mamzellchloe]

my favorite song. just perfect

[Sakuler]

This song is perfect. The mix of normal- and E- Guitar!! I LOVE IT!!

[jodiecatbrand]

i love this song so much, because you know that he's singing it for max.. and it's just.. it makes me cry every time i hear it. i love this band. i love luke. x

[xojulie223]

how do you know hes singing it for max? i thought this song was about katie melua .

[jessie1793]

luke said it in an interview

[TheRanDomZeD]

im sorry i kno im late or stupid

but hu's max?

[szaanna]

i completely adore the kooks, my favs! the funny thing is that when people ask, i can't explain why i love them so much... they're just great! like... wow :p haha

[johaaannaa]

I´m getting shivers when he yells at 2.04 !!!!:):):)

i love the kooks

[frankiero55]

OH MY FUCK..is Max back?!?!?!?!?!

[frankiero55]

...nevermind...this was Glastonbury 2007...haha.

[seetheworld111]

im pretty sure max is gone for good. :(

[lennoshane]

they are a surisingly fantastic band live

[s142w]

i think thats song talks about max's life

[emakawaii]

i totally agree. seems like this song means a lot to luke..

[Jsutton0306]

yeaa i knew it was about max, this is by far the best version of sway. I memba watchin glastonbury last year being amazed by this song, i wonder though what emotions max had to feel playing such a great song there knowing luke was singing it to him really.

[emakawaii]

the kooks are like oh-my-god. and i prefer luke to max, cause his accent is amazing, and luke is so unique. max is not and he doesnt amaze me like a singer. if hes really the one who writes those songs - then i really feel a huge respect, but luke is the one you would never take him for anybody.

[XxwithmyeyesxX]

I think that the flags are kick ass

[lolipopis82]

can someone explain me all the problem with max? thanks im all lost!!
