We Are Scientists - Jools Holland - Nobody Move

[lumyingluo]

nice performance ^_^

[mrbombastic010]

the moment the guitar sound kicks in,tat the real deal of this song. liked!

[jc123456789ify]

This song makes me bounce around like a monkey!!!

[djgph]

matt helders should fully be teh new drummer

cuz they're mates anyway :)

[12345thestrokes]

his voice was so light and it sounds so cute.and now its bigger and louder i love it :)

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

Omg! He slows down so much at 0:49! Great song still and he still is a good drummer!:)

[adamessoof]

tapper is the man! He is a great drummer. yes it does speed up and slow down a bit here but everyones had an off day. being a drummer myself i challenge anyone to suggest another drummer from a modern indie band to come up with original beats like him

[aspunkydam]

@adamessoof

Ronnie Vannucci. 'nuff said. :P

[tommoboy9]

@adamessoof

Matt Helders?

[JukesSB]

i'm expecting some lashback here, but i'd say tapper or matt tong from bloc party are up there with the bestestest drummers ever

[SoaringLotus]

@JukesSB matt tong though is pretty damn good

[GPaDLA]

the drummer is sick!

[percyswatchingyou]

No wonder they got rid of the drummer, he can't keep time at all.

[buttersworth13]

wow you sir are an idiot...

[Dazza871]

@percyswatchingyou Have you got ears? no? shhhush then im a drummer and i no a good drummer when i see one hes fucking goood, he left they didnt kick him out and hes got great timing

[percyswatchingyou]

@Dazza871 I have got ears yes, which is why I managed to notice he slowed down at 0.23 and 0.49, and judging from the awkwardness of the chorus, probably came in too early, and when the second verse comes in, it's noticeably slower than the first. Don't patronise me about drumming, cheers.

He did leave yes, but it wasn't amicable, the other two fell out with him.

[TheAbsolutionHowl]

@percyswatchingyou the drummer quit - and, as a drummer myself, i can tell you that you're very, very, very wrong in your assumption.

[thebrianwilson]

every live video i watch, it seems like the bass is always turned wayyy down.

[12345l6789]

no way. try headphones.

[TheAvarusAnimus]

toatally agree :)

[Headlazz]

@thebrianwilson You can hear it right? Then its loud enough.. : P

[percyswatchingyou]

It might just be because they're on Jools, whenever I watch it the accoustics/pa set up is always really poor, you can never hear the bass or the keyboards.

[2n2equals5]

Around 0:20 it almost sounds like it turns into a different song it slows so much.

[djreibread]

ffs, I want keith's guitar.

[DaddyWasABankRobber]

Keith seemed very nervous in this one, and yeah the tempo was inconsistent.

[theamulas]

Is it me or does the tempo in this song slow down in the first verse, it made me cringe :(.

[blakxzep]

The bassist is definitely having some trouble.

[TheDanSandwich]

I'm definitely digging the TV yellow Tele...

[meltywit9]

You are not allowed to use my body.

[alexs1422]

Thats not gonna stop me

[ladynotin]

thumb up 4 the sexy veg!!

the bassist looks like has been taken out from the beastie boy's sabotage video hehe

[smithhedgehog]

@ladynotin I think the bassist looks like a plumber from the 70's

[EndyZnuts]

big ups to brooklyn

[CrystalRockGirl]

*___*

[85Jec85]

I wish they were still a three-piece... With Tapper of course...

[diekontrolleure]

@85Jec85 i hate them so stfu

[powerkidd]

imo the bass palyer could be playing better cause the other guys our doing great

[nekonokuso]

no, he's fine as he is.

you need to understand how each instrument is played differently to work with each other.

it has nothing to do with his skills or abilities.

[powerkidd]

you are right but i never said that he sucks i just think he could do better

[nekonokuso]

how so, because i'm just not seeing it.

[powerkidd]

he's not accurate that's what i meant

[lloydmitchellnineone]

if your meaning out of time by a bit, that doesnt matter, i like it

[goshou]

You're not talking about the syncopation, are you?

[Tsuekasa]

Keith and Michael were way to focus or nervous. Keith voice sounds a bit high pitch and isn't smiling and Michael's timing.

[tisjames]

I think the drummer is concentrating on keeping the time too much, but he's making it too slow. That could be why is sounds odd

[mizzpatzz]

Another band named after a

Cap'n Jazz song.

[aznstoner]

The named themselves after a comment from a backstage prop guy who tried to strike up a conversation by asking, "So are you guys scientists or what?" No, seriously.

[SmellsLikeLithium]

They seem less confident on this show than they are now. Maybe its just me, but i think this might have been their first tv performance. Not saying they sucked at all, don't get me wrong.

[raulbarrientos007]

i heard the drummer went into rehab for chronic sweater use

i think he's a secret character in GTAIV

[Confuzzlement]

From what i can hear, it's the drummer changing the tempo.

So either he failed or i suck at hearing.

It's probably the latter xD

[tisjames]

No , i think your right about the drummer, he's doing something funny to the speed anyway.

[KillingHornyRhinos]

drummer didn't get kicked out, he left to concentrate on growing his beard for a beard competition. what a leg-end!

[belvoalways]

ye,well said Tsuekasa,you could see they were shttin but he cares!dey blew the roof off the place!

W.A.S are unbelievable!all dere songs are crazy good but its a shame the drummer left!hes regrettin it now id say!

[Tsuekasa]

Keith sounds completely different from different live sets. Yeah they had some serious tempo issues in the beginning. But i wouldnt blame them, its at a jools show in front of 4 other bands and artist and the audience.

[mrbollocks1979]

my new favourite band. So many classic hits already they've written. Damn good.

[k1ngofmiaea]

the lead singers my teachers step brother

[Tsuekasa]

i guess thats kinda believable.

[Cadd99]

They're amazing, but they did have tempo problems. When I saw them play live (when they still had Michael) they slowed the songs down, and it kind of made them feel like they were lagging.

Also, you can hear the gradual slowing of this song as it progresses. At almost every section they slow down a little more, and then speed it up a bit for the chorus/solo parts.

Still amazing though.

[SamehadaOttoko]

Fucking awesome band and this is one of my fav songs by them.

[thekidfromhibble]

agree with every1.

the drummers parts are so original. amazing

why did they kick him out????

[Tsuekasa]

he wasnt kicked out. He left on his own will. He said he had other things to do. Maybe school.

[iamplanets]

The drummer is absolutely amazing, shame he left :(

[Classyrc]

OMG and the solo was brilliant loved it!

[Classyrc]

wow iv always liked them but this is amazing and ur right the drummer really is amazing

[allth3s4me]

love Scientists but this is such a stupid song :/

[Tsuekasa]

its not the same thO!!mike beats were original and helders can only imitate them........not saying hes a bad drummer because hes awesome too.

[Tsuekasa]

wow who ever thinks its out of beat, dont listen to music anymore because ur a dumbass.

[gucker07]

I agree. The people who think they're out of beat should quit listening to music altogether because they're earless simpletons with no sense of rhythm whatsoever.

[pt78477]

this is where I first saw WAS

why I love Jools Holland ~:)

[tinitas]

why does keith seem so sad?

[SSJ2Killua]

They don't go out of time, he's just playing a syncopated beat.

[ross410]

It actually pains me to read the comment from the guy who says their out of beat, and see loads of people agreeing. They are exactly on beat to how they wrote the song. It was actually perfect, just listen to the album.

[ilovesuede]

I agree 100%. The drums are the special beauty of this song and make this song perfect.

[unspoken42]

Too true. The drumming is exciting, yes and could be construed as being out of time but that is what we have come to expect from them.

[piratpojken]

you're retard. they're not out of beat, this is how it's supposed to sound

[chrisis1]

they seem down :[

[fecalfoetus]

fuck..the band don't do half much justice to the drummer..very exciting drummer.

[13678043]

He's fucking mad aint he?! Beats are all over the place, in a good way! That's why everyone thinks this sounds off-beat, but it's only cause the drummer is hitting syncopations all over the place.

[abligool]

im seeing these guys in three days with the kaisers. and tbh who cares if theyre a couple of beats out when ur seeing them live?! its the atmosphere that counts

[fantasyclonedsoundz]

tempo..bollocks..go with the flow

[dundeeguymad4it]

my word you sad gits with the 3 beats out rubbish , its slightly out but the total is far more than the sum of the parts . get a effing grip

[wehp]

the drum beat is off by a lot. is like a 3 beats slower so the drummer can keep up. drumming like that is soooooooooo friggin hard. you get off beat a lot

[oldscool10]

well these guys are scientist not muscians, but good music though

[MagioTheGuitarist]

CLAP CLAP!!!

[keneticshark24]

Weak vocals? Not really

What's more concerning to me is the extreme tempo changes - unsettling and nothing like the record track. D:

[FunkSoulBrotherUK]

I love the song but the perfomance was a bit of a mess. The tempo is all over the place!

[mogloh]

the basist look like a real scientist

[jcnguyen911]

LOLOLOL!

[mariomendes]

It´s more slow than the original, it´s sucks!!

[CShayRay13]

Yeah, I noticed that too...

[lkgrueber]

this is deserves a new word.

wondrifical?

not up to par but will do.

at 00:56 you can see michael singing along. aw.

[Lameguyy]

"aww they look scared... bless them" Everyones scared of jools holland.

[emmabrandybuck]

aww they look scared... bless them

[murdermile29]

keith I love you sooooooooo much!

[lordwuzza]

their songs are great

[TheSpecialOne]

weak vocals , but i like this band

[Cadd99]

The intro was mad off, and they slow down somewhat into the song, but overall it was good.

[ArgenBlargen]
