Empire of the Sun - Aria Awards 2009 - Walking on a Dream

[loonie26]

where's the other guy?

[Troopdragon86]

Reading all these whiny comments are funny!!! Just shut up and enjoy the music idiots. No one cares about your opinions, keep that to yourself.

[Thexderx]

I'd hardly call this live...what exactly is being played live here?

[23CrazyAsian]

@Thexderx AHHAHA your stupid HAHAH

[SudoMade]

Pnau rock, luke did good. Anybody have "celebrate the failure"?

[GeneralHoohah]

What a horrible performance... it looks like he's going into withdraw... he's obviously lip sinking, and the dancer's seem completely pointless, oh and lets not forget the complete lack of any actual instruments. Its easy to lip-sync to a song that was completely recorded ahead of time. He probably just popped in their CD and called it a day. Lame. This is just bad.

[aintnoswan]

@GeneralHoohah Are you for real if this is lip sinking then you would be a deaf mute as you can hear how pitchy this is. Still rather good but it's live. Luke wouldn't do it any other way.

[MikeyD9]

@aintnoswan exactly, i hate when people say that too

[Pippin773]

Why don't people just play the music with real instruments anymore? How hard can it be to get some synths, some drums, some back up vocals, and actually perform like a real live performance?

[ManBearPig242]

looks like he is lip synching

[Korbi2596]

why he shake his hand allways

[MikeyD9]

@Korbi2596

he does that all the time cuz its called keepin in sync with the beat.. and if u r a good listener he does it to perfection... thats why hes a magician

[AestheticVibes]

His hand is still in "Jerk Off" mode.

[unamethenameman]

Wanker

[jokepetoke1]

is it just me, or does it look like he's giving himself a hand job (in profile) ?!

[MikeyD9]

@mikey381

true that

[MarleyFan1996]

bitches i taylor gang that, gang that.

[mikey381]

Only a BAWSE can perform and fap at the same time.

[MikeyD9]

only a mastermind can work the stage like him

[MikeyD9]

@111whitepony111

no im not but i dont mean just him. his whole dance crew are amazing.. if u dont think so then ur blind.

[MikeyD9]

@111whitepony111

thats the whole point is him just standing in the middle while the dance crew does the dancing.

and hes not violently shaking his hand for no reason, its called keeping insync with the beat bro.

[MikeyD9]

@111whitepony111

hes not suppose to be dancing when hes alrdy got 4 others doing that for him.

[TheDEZrocksyoursocks]

WHERE IS NICK HERE

[MikeyD9]

if that high pitch note @ 2:41 isn't as raw as uncooked chicken i dunno what is

[Hozzle1138]

He is not miming. If you can hear you'll understand.

[111whitepony111]

@Hozzle1138 the high parts he's miming. if you have a brain you'll hear it.

[DJBAZZTheOneAndOnly]

Seeing the Empire in SF. Cant fuckin wait.

[ppaattaarr]

Love his Aussie acct. This is my aussieBUM perception, lol.

[Firstriver333]

-____________- He is NOT "wanking."

He is what most performers do to keep in sync with the song so he doesn't come in too late or too early. He's being smart you retards -.-

[Khironification]

Stop wanking buddy.

[MMORPG93]

he's having a good old wank go on my son lol

[tommym202]

Which one is nick? Is he even on here?

[jasmoof23de]

cool song. pretty sure dude is lip syncing though. just too similar. plus his mouth doesn't always match up.

[okirilovich]

@jasmoof23de He is NOT lip syncing. haha

[dirtleg27]

@jasmoof23de Nah I don't think it's similar at all, listen to the track and come back and listen to this, you can tell he's not lip syncing. Especially the last verse where he sings "All we got is tonight" sounds liked he struggled with it, or his voice cracked

[papajim20]

EMPIRE OF THE SUN IS THE BEST EVER,COME TO GREECE,YOU HAVE A LOT OF FANS HERE!!!!!

[xulianlikesthebeat]

he looks like megazord in this one



[laotrarazor]

I loooooove his costumes, looooove him

[Aviation94]

this is the first performance in the world where someone is jerking off in the middle of a song!

[Rechlome3]

@Aviation94 fucking amazing comment:D

[laotrarazor]

he looks like one of those indian gods paintings...

[ATandCRproductions]

jacking off in the middle of the song O.o 0:13

[spananative]

These guys are gonna be at Global this year... dont expect me to attend that night lol I think these guys are f'in WACK! Rather be seeing MGMT for this tyoe of crap shoot music..

[J0NNO]

well, done, you put excellent visuals and outfits over that backing track

[iAMtheWALRUS6]

I love Eots, but luke needs to move around more on stage he needs to get into it!

[betoski]

<3 them

[Escopetas]

man he sucks at singing, nevertheless a great song!

[Firstriver333]

LUKES NOT MASTURBATING HIS HAND IS JUST SPAZZING BECAUSE ITS HOW HE KEEPS IN TIME WITH THE VOCALS. USUALLY HE HAS HIS GUITAR IN HIS HANDS TO KEEP IN TIME.

There that should clear things up.

[wlrushing]

@Firstriver333 or hes just ripping michael jacksons style?



[Firstriver333]

@wlrushing how would he be doing that? Don't get me wrong I love MJ, but he wasn't the only one who kept in time the way he did. people have been doing it for years. It's not like he invented it either.

[Sairo560]

@Firstriver333 you are a little crazy heheh :P

[Firstriver333]

@Sairo560 ?

[darkeclipse693]

@Firstriver333 I don't think anyone really cares because they see what they see, I dig this band and would love to see a concert of them.

[EatAllYourFish]

if all the dancers had not been there at all and it was just the band (make a mental image now)..., then i would say great performance.

[thomo74]

I thought they were too cool for this shit...?...?

[eklink446]

this is a pretty good band i like their music its soothing relaxing and just unique way better then lady gaga 23 people dont have a sense of what uniqueness is

[liketammysaids]

haha his hand is having a spasm lol XDDD

[aln82]

@liketammysaids ahahahahahaha:DDDD

[culturaleyes]

this is crazy

[Ryann15693]

Miming band members, laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

[3DDYR]

soo hes nervous with his hand because hes under pressure and stressing too much?

[jakelinsanz]

i miiss Nick Littlemore

[styleangel2009]

fuxk yeah

[onyxds88]

awesome

[ThePlatinKing]

1:52...

Is that dance girl hittin' the cam?xDDD

[alkemist85reconz]

ahaha wait a minute....those ARENT Jazz hands........lol

[rebeltrooperhalla16]

i seriously thought he was masturbating on stage for a moment haha

[Manneomgwtf]

@rebeltrooperhalla16 same lol xd

[BIGGGY305]

lip singing?

[batistabomb619wwecar]

@BIGGGY305 yep, but not lip syncing

[ynot061]

@BIGGGY305 naw man, i dont think he is.. his voice, u can tell, its his, cause if u listen to the song.. sounds better.. im not saying this is bad.. but i saw him live, to be honest, either he was on something , or to excited, doesn't sound like hes on key

[SchwarzeSonne14]

i like his voice when he sings is it real now.. (:

and i like when he sings..thrill of it :D

[aido105]

This music speaks to me.

[amypotts1]

What's with his hand, i think someone should tell him to leave the wanking for when he's at home. Not on stage infront of a live audience ;)

[xJOSHUAx15]

they sound awesome

but they honestly look like some sort of aztec power ranger

anyways solid sound

:)

[euginnna]

@xJOSHUAx15 haha aztec power ranger lol ure right.. but thyre nice thumbs up!

[Starsxboulevards]

I saw him in Hollywood & it was just like this... But I wish I was HERE too!

Actually, I wish I could just live with them.

[Wsauce]

what's happen with his hand?

haha

[apluskt]

@Wsauce they have been touring all year..and both Luke and Nick have had several successful projects on the go and more to come. Empire of the Sun are again nominated for the Aria Awards 2011.

[GruntWhacker]

@apluskt how did that answer his question?

[juniwilliams]

@apluskt doesnt explain his HAND, lol

[mattgraco]

@Wsauce LMFAOOOO

[mrbob944]

@Wsauce its part of his stage presence but he's also keeping time my moving his hand like that. it looks like hes super nervous but since hes only singing and not playing an instrument, keeping his hand like that with the beat allows for the vocals to be in perfect timing with the rest of the song.

[nemesisczcz]

@Wsauce He feel the music. FULL OF BODY

[7777777Fer]

is he masturbating? lol hahaha

[nuudelchin]

Entertaining ! - One of the dancer is Justin Bieber.

[sebadiz]

Fierce!!!!

[HayleyLovesMeesha]

i looooooooooveeeeee hiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmm

[thelastman777]

shit band

[TehFlamingLipz]

@thelastman777

What an enlightening fucking comment! This your first time using the internet ?

[thelastman777]

@TehFlamingLipz  No its just a shit band

[insaneforstuff254]

@thelastman777

You not liking a band doesn't make them shit nor does it give you good reason to call the band shit.

[thelastman777]

@insaneforstuff254 ummm no its just a shit band

[insaneforstuff254]

@thelastman777

:facepalms:

Nevermind, I'm just going to listen to that shit band I love now.

[NiZmo41]

@thelastman777

[thelastman777]

@NiZmo41 First thing Justin beiber sucks and just nooo you fail

[str4jo]

[lorettadh]

3:02 is the best part

[DubyaDubyaE]

I won't be seeing Lady Gaga at Lollapalooza this weekend. I WILL be seeing Empire of the Sun.

[FlibGack]

@DubyaDubyaE YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[gamblerzrule45]

@DubyaDubyaE yup and it's today at 9:00.!!

[sacuas]

este wey en la cabeza parece que trai al Sagrado Corazón y asi de cuerpo completo parece personaje de los power rangers canta perro el wey

This wey head seems to think traitor to the Sacred Heart and so full body character of the power rangers sings dog the wey

[TheMadmanXD]

haha hes like wanking on stage

[teamchefDiao]

the best kind of ''new musi''

[tanner87]

if wanking gives you a voice like that.....i shall do it more often!

[etreduardo]

I didn't like this! I mean, I loved the performance! Haha! It was really creative and beautiful! But the song, to me, is just bad. And the man in the center can't even sing... Anyway, that's just my opinion.

[Joeyg143]

Is he masturbating on stage?

[mannskeet]

if they're was a god, he'd prolly wanna borrow that outfit

[heyheyheyyep]

@mannskeet ahahahhhahhahhahah

[porktron1]

@mannskeet

You're totally right! If they are was a god, he Would want to wear that!

Learn there/their/they're idiot.

[pawprint1059]

I would absolutely LOVE to see these guys in a T-Shirt and Jeans LOL! x

The lead singers kinda cute, Does anyone agree or is it just me?

[jokkenizer]

@pawprint1059 just google him and im ure you´ll find some pics, haha!

[telepocques]

Should stop masturbating!! Really good music!

[beangryatyourself]

this band reminds me of MGMT idk the singers voice sounds like him

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

1. i don't like the comparison of EOTS to MGMT i don't hear the resemblance. yeah they're both psychedelic but EOTS in my opinion is way better than MGMT.

2. although the whole stage production is cool and all and of course the song is amazing, the whole thing seems really show-off. i think lady gaga ruined the whole dramatic display of music.

[chchln17]

Is that Lady Gaga's boyfriend?

[FashooooxO]

This song is just amazing...

[jylimo]

ja... y en mexico tenemos Alejandro fernandez, Paulina Rubio, Thalia!! thats suck's!! Empire of the Sun Rules!!!

[tanner87]

i could wank to this music, i spose he's got the right idea whilst singing there

[samiyat]

This guy forget his just an half. where is Nick?

[samiyat]

this guy thinks his Empire of the sun, his forget his just an a half. Where is Nick? Can you tell me please?

[KiriLizzPanics]

Pure genius.

[jajmjbylso]

He was SOOOOOOO much better at Groovin the Moo!

[Ravager134]

does anyone else notice that he kinda sounds scared when hes singing, or is that just natural?

[junskey]

holy shit what video game is this?

[sebedina]

He should stop masturbating on stage. It's a bad habbit.

[yosuaize]

empire of the sun is great is introduced to Mexico in the 2010 Latin live to see great videos

[Jarrod323]

aussie dance bands are making a mark for themselves.

we own the dance scene at the moment!

with the presets, pnau, empire of the sun, and cut copy; what could get better!? :D

[charley01010]

whats up with his hand haha

[SedatedEcstasy]

Hmm... all studio magic.

Those pipes don't impress me at ALL.

I think Luke does this for the dough... Nick is the one with all the passion.

[masterfunk214]

thay seem like thay could be the davis bowie of this generation but less known

[singoking]

why is the guy's right hand so fuckin shaking?

[Emsilbea]

@singoking he is a muti-istrumentalist, and he is an eccentric. why not?

[IndonesiaNegaraKu]

@singoking he was air masturbating

[TheDesperador]

in my opinion lady gaga and empire of the sun are totally different^^ !!!

[Jarrod323]

@TheDesperador well duh.

[neildw]

@eclaireurspatial

Ik kan ook niet wachten tot ik ze op RW zie. :-)

[breachmania]

After I saw this I lost all respect for the arias this is shit he's not even singing the whole song it's just all fake looks and bullshit BRING REAL MUSIC BACK

[mablob]

wat bands are under 'real music'?

[demolitionracoon1881]

@breachmania thats good one, what bands make real music?

[demolitionracoon1881]

bullshit, put names bro

[likekickingjesus]

@demolitionracoon1881 no. i'm not going to sit here and prove something to you. if you can't hear it with your own ears then i don't really give a shit.

[LoyalPlayboy]

save your time and rant on Soulja boy or Lady Gaga. EOTS is much better than them

[demolitionracoon1881]

amen!

[DevilsAndAirwaves]

It's kind of a mellow song, for performing. Bigger than a spotlight, but smaller than a blowout. Good theme.

I think he's singing the whole time live, just on the chorus he's singing the lower part while the rest is canned.

[JANLUCONFESS]

I LOVE EOTS!!!!!!!!

[videoro14]

i love empire of the sun soooo much :)

[latinocoolguy83]

BRILLIANT

[af2w131f]

The chorus is lip synced, other than that hes singing the other parts..

[broderdanne]

he's not lip syncing, he's singing along the backup vocals

[ThouShallBeFly]

perfection

[saksilangit]

sword fish girls !!

[cjhatsa]

1000000% prerfect

[emanvz]

love the band... but performances lack something. dood is just standing there pumping his fist the whole time. musically i say they are epic, but performing is not their forte.

[FreakySalamander]

thiat was just sooo coool!!! They totally rock... Not too impressed by the guy's vocal but whatever, they still rule!! they totally deserved all those awards! :-D
