  • @YoavMr sorry but Chuck Ragan has that many and while Brian is pretty awesome his voice doesn't match in manliness to Chuck

  • 34 people are too tired to drive

  • @CyanideBuffet Hipster?

  • @xJUSTxPRAYx yeah, he has a passion for music and doesnt want the band to become another shitty radio band who has thousands of people at the show and, like he said, makes it less intimate. must be a hipster.

  • AWESOME

    

  • just found this band today, fucking loving it.

  • Never since Talking Heads, has there been a band I have enjoyed more. Here's to 1977 and CBGB. Only thing wrong here is the timing.

  • @Ventro69 Maybe that is the right thing. Proof that good music still exists in the modern age of Rock.

  • @emptyhate I guess mate. I sometimes have to stop myself from getting too emo about TGA. They are really my FAVOURITE band in 20 years.

  • @Ventro69 I know what you mean. His music has choked the breath from my lungs and has burned my eyes as he sung those songs that seemed to be of my life.

  • I love u guys! U are the best!

  • @CyanideBuffet Kinda selfish, dont you think? Im pretty sure there are tons of bands out there that are big, and most people dont know where the inspiration comes form. I suggest you consider yourself lucky enough to be in that select few, rather than wish you could keep others from the music

  • As much as I want Brian and the band to have fame, and success, it disturbs me to seen 799,992 views on this. When bands get famous and big, it kind of takes away from the intimacy of the music. These guys will always be number one to me, forever and always, and it just kills me to have people saying their the biggest fan, when they don't know the meaning of what The Gaslight Anthem is about, or least of all, even the lyrics.

  • @CyanideBuffet So long as they dont forget who they are and get lost in fame or whatever, then its all okay. And to be honest, whilst they're getting popular, they're far from being hugely well known.

  • @CyanideBuffet I hate to break it to you, but you aren't special. I would imagine that we're all here because we love Sink or Swim. Anyone who's just a tagalong fan wouldn't even give this song the time of day because it never charted, so just because it means something to you doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything to anyone else. I adore this song.

  • @CyanideBuffet Look at Springsteen... If they follow in his footsteps (Which Brian would like to, being so heavily influenced by him), they'll have billions of fans but ever song they come out with will be nothing but pure emotion.

  • too bad the same comments been posted on hundreds of videos to get likes

  • just like sex

  • beast vox for a non drinker non smoker

  • @astemostevenson When this was recorded he smoked but I think nowadays he doesn't. He has never drunk though

  • @TheShaeber only lightly though

  • @TheShaeber I met him about 2 weeks ago and we was smoking then. I wish he wouldn't. Where'd you hear he never drinks?

  • @RockGod815 He said that in an interview somewhere in the internet but can't find the link for you.

  • When are they back from their European tour? Must get them to come to Toronto...

  • Amazing choiring!

  • Benny has a random top that appears on him...

    Great song, great vid!

  • listen how young they sound

    

  • 31 people were to tired to choose the right button

  • How come gaslight cant write a song with out using the same riff!?? Good band but the music is to predictable when the chorus is the same in every song.

  • @superchampable less is more biatch! and its punk so.. :)

  • @superchampable u are obviously retarded

  • @superchampable I'm not going to have a go at you just because you dissed my favourite band, but your reason is rubbish. Compare this with Say I Won't, then listen to Here's looking at you, kid then Boxer, then Film Noir, then I Coulda Been a Contender, then The Queen of Lower Chelsea. After you've done that you will understand that they have loads of variety. All bands have their own sound and TGA definitely have a style that they like to work in but they still have loads of original tracks.

  • @BENDO789 Dont get me wrong. They got a lot of great tracks with a original sound. But come on Im board hearing the same riffing with a different melody on lots of their tracks. Its a catchy riff. But when do you draw the line of "original" when ive already heard the band use that riff in 12+ of their songs or should I say half of the 59 sound. I have 6 strings and 22 frets, Theirs a time to be creative instead of lets use this because its easy and catchy. It becomes stail to my ears. Sorry :(

  • 31 people need to take driving lessons.

  • Oh man, i fucking love this song and band, saw them live, one of the best things i've ever seen, so fucking awesome! They play so energetic and you can see they love to perform. One word: Amazingawesomenessbrilliantbes­tever =)

  • ah stop saying gaslight anthem is like bruce springsteen. gaslight is gaslight, springsteen is springsteen!!!

  • Amazing, when i heard this record it hit me so hard. It was like "this is as close to perfection that a band can be playing this style of music"

    4 years on, and they're better than ever with 3 outstanding albums and the 'Senor' EP under their belts. If they've written a bad song, i ain't heard it.

    They will stay in my life forever, which i can't say about that many musical outifts. Beautiful.

  • The tune at the beginning is Here's Looking At You Kid

  • @fd95117 No it's not, it's the ending of 'The Navasink Banks'

  • @adzboy14 Yeah you're right. It was my mistake.

  • Fuckin love gaslight!! By far the best band I've seen live. Brian puts so much into singing. Its refreshing and inspiring to see that. Gaslight forever

  • I'm watching this in 2011

  • @MrManson94 youre an idiot. seriously why even say "im watching this in 2011" like.. come one.. No I thought it was 1963? Come on.. Idiot.

  • With this little piece of art is where the love started! TGA hands down!

  • springsteen helped me enjoy this band

  • These guys know how to rock, eh.

  • it's just fucking GREAT *_*

  • I love this band!

  • why the fuck are you arguing? no one cares. you both lose

  • @imnothere17 lol you lose because "both" doesnt account for three people ;)

  • @SteweyLemieux YES! XD

  • @elitesniperface why the aggression? If you're interested about me having a girlfriend, yea, I do. And atleast my admittedly whiny comment was only posted ONCE...

  • @TheLimo64 why the agression because you again felt the need to comment at me over something wrote months ago, anyway fuck off

  • @elitesniperface If you really are going to angry with me for pretty much nothing, I see no reason to do as you say. Why don't YOU "fuck off?" We're the ones tired of seeing your identical comment on almost every Galight Anthem video...

  • @TheLimo64 we.... who are you speaking on behalf of, the internet masses, can see why your girlfriend dumped you, because you really are an annoying prick, she seen through you very quickly, maybe should take a look at yourself and evaluate your life

  • @elitesniperface Maybe YOU should, I'm not the one posting the same comment on several different videos...

  • @TheLimo64 Im gonna ask you a question, what did you come to this video for? Now for times sake I will presume that it is to listen to the awsome song. Next up, why the fuck are you speaking for people you don't know? elitesniperface is obviously just trying to make sure people like me don't have to look at some shitty argument that shits all over the song, just listen to the fucking music so I myself can instead of posting some retarded comment that I don't even want to write.

  • @SteweyLemieux You obviously haven't seen the previous conflict of opinions myself and elitesniperface have had in the past. And, upon your last point- if you hadn't written this response of yours, I wouldn't be writing THIS comment, meaning I'm wasting yet MORE of your time. Seems pretty obvious to me...

  • @TheLimo64 lol that's essentially what I was thinking after posting my comment, it's a vicious circle. I say we all just shut the fuck up and listen to the music. Fair enough?

  • @SteweyLemieux Seems like a good idea to me :D

  • By his voice i can tell, Brian has about 5 balls...

  • @YoavMr dude I think about 6, 5 is an uneven number

  • @jokerxcore aka an odd number

  • Is this an alternate version or is the whole thing a live recording that someone set to a video?

  • @ryanxdavey im pretty sure this is the sink or swim demos version

  • I saw them last night.... amazing to see real musicians still exist!

  • @FullCola bamboozle<3 they were amazing

  • these guys changed my life, in a really good way

  • Why does everyone have to fight on every video? :( Why can't we all just get along and relax to this amazing song. Thumbs up if you agree. <3

  • ive saw them last year in concert was realyy fett !! am dauberdal in deutschland !!!

  • Fantastic

    

  • Awesome! I love this band so much!

  • why arent these guys on the radio 24/7?

  • man this is a good band

  • I thank skate 2 for turning me on to them, their not the usual punk I listen which is moslty hardcore but their really good

  • @ffireball88 same way I found out about them.

  • Don't bother scrolling down. Take your hand off the mouse and just enjoy the music. There's no jewels of wisdom down there, trust me

  • @elitesniperface Except maybe this comment- it appears I was wrong about you. You're alright.

  • @TheLimo64 lol and i apologise for being a dick i just like to stir up a good argument and watch the fireworks

  • @elitesniperface Fair enough- can't say I blame you, haha!

  • @elitesniperface You clip and paste that on every gaslight anthem video, attention whore = you.

  • @gazz12345a yeah thats it i love the attention of all you great gods of ppl, you make my life complete and i spend each waking moment awaiting the approval of the internet masses, i do really care about your comment and as you are obviously a higher class of person than my meagre self i thought i would reply, thank you for your great insight o wise one

  • @gazz12345a oh and only 3 songs actually, the wonders of copy and paste eh, marvellous

  • @elitesniperface What a retarded over reaction. Somebody call the 'waaambulance' for elitesniperface. Attention whore + Drama queen = you.

  • @gazz12345a indeed, love the drama, can't help it if im also awesome

  • Comment removed

  • @elitesniperface Yet you're the one constantly spamming Gaslight videos with your repetitive comments. You are becoming what you seem to be against. Sad, really.

  • @TheLimo64 ah you again, check the date, 3 months ago, and it's on 3 gaslight songs which i really like, have you not got a girlfriend or sad story to be cryin about AGAIN

  • @elitesniperface probably should have heeded the warning :L

  • @elitesniperface im sure someone had to scroll down to see your "jewels of wisdom"

  • @elitesniperface this is the best comment on YT i've ever seen.

  • @elitesniperface LMFAO!!! Best comment i have ever seen on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is the perfect band togetherness song. Makes me miss my band mates in Houston.

  • ah I do love TGLA

    put i am very clad that brian has learnt to sing ... I have listened to 59th sound around 25 times, I had it bout 2 months :P but his vocals are so much better of 59th sound to this

  • @shirokaien WTF are you talking about? Brian didnt "learn to sing" His live vocals are still gritty and very punk influenced. The reason '59 sounds vocals sound better? Better production.

  • "And we're much too young of men

    To carry such heavy heads

    And tonight for the first time

    It felt good to be alive."

    Nothing more to say....

  • a good friend of mine introduced me to these guys and i cannot stop listening to them...its just something about the sound...freaking amazing!

  • Is it just me or is ALEX AGNEW chilling with his friends at 0:54 ??!

  • awesome. Love it. Never had any band on repeat for as long as these guys.

  • Werchter manne

  • Rutgers!!! i live right down the block from Senior and Wyckoff.

  • A girl just broke up with me the other day. She's gone on and on about it for days about how much she hated me, etc. I felt like shit till I heard this song. It made me realise that i can swallow my pride, pick myself up and get on with it. This band has made me a better person, and I'm forever in their debt.

  • @TheLimo64 it was prob cos you a whining little bitch ffs, issues for your tissues

  • @elitesniperface get over yourself.

  • @TheLimo64 ha ha i think you need to get over it, no wonder she hates you you loser

  • @elitesniperface Christ man, you're a bad person. Chill out.

  • @MartinHagenDJ ah come on now, ppl cryin in comments seeking attention, "aww its ok, be strong and you'll get through it" blah blah blah, im sure there's reasons he's hated, most likely a prick lol

  • @elitesniperface The water is already polluted with jerks;) nobody needs another one

  • @elitesniperface Mate, you're calling me a prick? YOU'RE the violent sounding imbecile. I didn't ask for your sympathy.

  • @elitesniperface Wow you are a prick. What a world we live in, when someone tries to communicate their feelings they are all of the sudden a weak sook. You are a sad kid for going off at him.

  • @MattyE191 i like to stir a good pot

  • @TheLimo64 You should listen to some Joe Strummer and Bruce Springsteen. They're a huge influence on Gaslight Anthem as well as myself.

    Also, disregard her. The sooner you do, the faster the past will pass. Build new memories over the ones that hurt with a friend or a new date. You know what's right for you, and just do whatever puts a smile on your face

  • @OakRidgePunk777 Don't worry, I'm SO over her :P Thanks for your concern ;)

  • Actually its one of the most original, meaningful and awesome band name ever! Will be a classic forever.

  • After 3 long years of waiting i will finally get to see these guys! 3 times in a week too! So pumped!!

  • decent song... incredibly stupid band name.

  • @stevetrackattack What's wrong with the band name?

  • @stevetrackattack what the fuck you on about?

  • @stevetrackattack Why is it stupid? You obviously don't know the story behind it.

  • @That1GuyBill What is the story behind it? I've always wanted to know

  • @TomFromJersey The Gaslight was a club in New York that Bob Dylan and many other Folk greats played at and since the band was heavily influenced by old folk music they took the name The Gaslight Anthem

  • If people don't like this....then why are you watching it?

  • These guys greatly influenced me within the years I've been listening and seeing them. This is my favorite band of all time.

  • waaaay too short

  • Amazing Artist! NJ and 3AM! Love it.

  • 30 people are twats

  • Hey look @Metalnuss, that wasn't me personally that said that, it was my stupid brother. He keeps looking up shitty crap on my account when i forget to sign out. Besides I absolutely hate what ever this is that he likes

  • ehh power chords ..

  • @SuperEmy9999 does that matter? A good song and it males fun to hear it so skip the point that he plays power chords.

  • @SuperEmy9999 Ehh easily the best band of the last 10 years... who gives a fuck what way they play, it's brilliant.

  • @SuperEmy9999 Listen to the lyrics my friend. And im sure theres A LOT more to them when so many people love them as they do. Bruce Springsteen among other HUGE artists dont just "back" a shitty "power chord" band. This is gaslight anthem not led zeppelin. Give me 3 simple chords and the truth. Save your "million" notes and solos for someone that doesnt have something to say.

  • love this band!

  • seeing them again in manchester this weekend, they are amazing live

  • it's not about the masses. it doesnt matter who listens to the music. it's about the image the sound the expression the emotion the feeling. the masses are ignorant fucks so fuck them.

  • Gaslight Anthem > Punk Revival

  • this song made me listen to gaslight, now they're my fav band in the entire world.

  • johnnydangerful says they rock!

  • pretty fucking good.

  • loads pf people know who gaslight anthem and alkaline trio are.Im 12 and I know.

  • see them tuesday in cologne! (:

  • i got the 59 sound for 2 bucks in a bargin bin at the pawn shop. and i wonder why the hell it was in there. this became one of my fave records. best 2 bucks i've spent.

  • @fartinazoodle I cant believe anyone would have sold any of these records! Oh well, their loss!

  • they have a hot water music feel to them in this song

  • Fucking masterpieces, every one of their songs.

  • when i saw them the other night, this is the only song i wished they had played but didn't...:( all and all it was an amazing night, one of the top 5 shows i've ever been to.

  • New brunswick new jersey

  • No matter how bad you're feeling, just listening to The Gaslight Anthem will make you feel 10x better

  • @MercyfulBates ..... I casually read over the two comments benieth the video , and after listening to the song , i realised that SH!T! I am in a good mood! The accuracy of your statement was delightfully confusing.

  • @MercyfulBates Totally agreed! They're the best band in the world.

  • @MercyfulBates Yeah your right! it brings you back to the ground in some weird way

  • @MercyfulBates

    Thanks, I totally agree :)...

  • Comment removed

  • i was playing skate theI'da Called You Woody, Joe came on and i through it was awesome

  • ill never forget when i saw them 2 months ago in philly and alex L. was just hangin out in the souvenier stand and i thought it was so surreal i couldn't find the courage to ask him for an autograph or a picture, and he walked by me and said excuse me and didnt notice i was staring the whole time amazing

  • love this track, cant wait to see em thursday

  • brian fallon is a pretty cool guy

  • that guy Fallon has a great voice

  • FUCKIN TUNE!!!!

  • "And if you're too tired/Go to sleep, my brothers/I'm all right to drive. I love the image that conjures up, of this group of worn-out, saddened men, all crowded into an old clunker in the middle of the night, heading home after a rough time. And the singer wanting to help them, wanting to say so much to them, and helping them in the only way he can. The symbolism is beautiful.

  • i love how music can get to someone and they think it's amazing and to others, it's just another song or even annoying; like for me anything by rihanna or lady gag gag x{

  • Fantastic track/

  • i am faling in lov with this band

  • after listening to this song by them,I fell in loveee

  • they sound like old ataris

  • i dont really like his voice for this kinda music they play, it works for some but not them... the guitar drowns him out..drums too

  • @H3ARm3RAWR

    I've not once had problems hearing his voice. I love that voice, especially on the first album (Sink or Swim) where it's so raw.

  • @Thor27436 well i can honestly say his voice is ok, not much like some other bands ive heard but not bad either...but if i was at a concert of theres i would prolly juss wanna listen to the guitar and drums though so i cant say i love them, but there ok i guess

  • @H3ARm3RAWR I think his voice is amazing, he's singing from the soul.

  • @Bimboingreen never said he wasnt singing from the soul, juss dont care to much for his voice..its ify for me

  • @sirmastercha - the music at the start is a clip of 'The Navesink Banks', from the same Gaslight Anthem album as this song - 'Sink Or Swim', great album!

  • what song is at the first of the hole song

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing band, really amazing.
