  • A bar band in hell.

  • Man this is sooooooo good!

  • They`ve just recently split up.

  • They just don't make it like they used too...

  • One one level, I legitimately love this band..

    On another level, I don't think they would be famous were it not for Nick Cave's fame..

  • Only Nick Cave can pull off something this. He is too awesome for American TV.

  • Sleazy as f**k !!!

    Love it!

  • Genius... punk rock in a leisure suit.... and that hair! Awesome...

  • Nick Cave is a bad BAD boy...

    

  • love that he got through the ballad stage back to the grit & dirt of life..

  • @Rikitocker You can try and claim Ginderman as an "Aussie Pub Band", but with Cave living in the UK since th 80s and Martin Casey being from England, an Australian Pub band is clutching at straws a bit mayte!

  • @INGEY77 it's spelled "Martyn", who grew up in Australia; Cave has lived in a number of places since the 80s, including back in Melbourne, Berlin and Sao Paulo; Cave has said his music is authentically Australian.

  • @HurfNurf OK, sorry for the spelling mistake!!!!!!

  • @INGEY77hey twat stop trying to colonise everything, this bands core originate from australia - not least martyn casey - from the triffids prior to the bad seed & grinderman - he is from perth, west australia. cave spent early 80's in london in birthady party before going back to melb & then berlin for most of 80's. guitarist is warren ellis from melbourne currently living in paris & drummer is jim sclavunos ex cramps from usa. you are a fucking idiot.

  • @100milnic Im not trying to colonise anything you dumb fuck. Get a life, relax, and stop being so sensitive. Its great music, by great musicians, it should not be pidgeon holed into one thing (Aussie pub band) when it simply is not. That is all im saying, if you have trouble accepting that then that is your problem. Try and contain your emotions by not come on here swearing at me.

  • @INGEY77 so, well then, fuck you - dumb fuck. ohh by the way you're english, so you pretty much like to colonise everything. regardless your comments were factually incorrect, cave lived abroad in numerous states and martyn casey grew up in suburb next to mine, so dumb fuck, relax, and accept you were completely wrong and have little capacity to research topics you are commenting on. ohh yeah, dumb fuck, lay off the swearing.

  • @100milnic Hahahahaha you crack me up man, im actually starting to enjoy your comments. Have you heard yourself? Bragging that Casey grew up in the suburb next to you!! hahaha I can just see you now sitting infront of you computer jerking off to Grinderman videos. You have a problem my good friend. Why dont you go out, get a girlfriend, and start enjoying life. instead of waiting for the day that Nick Cave lets you hold his penis.

  • @INGEY77ahh, here we go, you just can't admit you were gigantically wrong, so now you're reduced to lame innuendo - c'mon it just shows you haven't got a fucking leg to stand on. can't defend your position so fall back on what are 'sposed to be big insults. it's just too predictable, give it up.

  • @100milnic your boring me.

  • @100milnic I'm American, but I prefer human, and I'm going to colonize your mom.

  • @brw0044 LOL this is the BEST comment ive EVER read !!! !nice! :D

  • @brw0044 yeah shortly after you colonise yer own mum

  • The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...i salute them!

  • so, Jesus plays guitar !!

  • Yo! It's like the goth avenger rockin' with a group of zombies!! Fuckin' love it!!

  • So good, love all Nick Cave does!

  • Wow, Nick is going bald hard.

  • Great Aussie rock is what this is ... the best kept secret of our pub music born in the 70's.

  • Great band! Nick Cave always hits the target and it's awesome that they got on the Letterman show!

  • @trudeaumania you're talking about Nick Cave there...

    THE Nick Cave

  • @trudeaumania You're an idiot. Go back to watching Lettermans poor comedy and skip the music.

  • @1000Neph I know good music. Twenty years from now, no one will know or care about who Nick Cave is. I'd love to see your music collection. Those CDs will be good for coasters.

  • @trudeaumania 2 things mate. 1: I just checked your clips... Kutless?! Hate to break it to ya buddy, but you wouldn't know good music if it walked up to you in the street, handed you a business card, bent you ove and fuc*ed you in the arse. 2: 20 years? Nick Cave has been ripping it up since he started The Boys Next Door in 1977... so nearly 35 years and still ripping. Might wanna recalobrate you radar there. Why don''t you just bust out your Limp Bizkit albums and leave rock'n'roll to the pros

  • @MrGriderman LEGEND RESPONSE!!!

  • @trudeaumania couldn't agree more, Limp Bizdicks or Groan Day tragic, Cave is king,

  • @trudeaumania You good sir are a Moron, Please be sure to never procreate for the good of future generations

  • "Don't delete"

  • Aaaaaahahaha, at the end of the song Warren attempts to press the pedal with his left foot and misses, tries with his right and misses again, tries yet again with his left - resulting in a ridiculous breakdance.

  • Nick goes Punk . . .

  • Can Nick Cave do no wrong?

  • @silentzedjozn nope,even the heroin addiction was cool.

  • gotta love that intense piano karate stance he assumes in the intro.

  • when did Basil Fawlty start a punk band?

  • LMAO......the size of that guys guitar....

  • @schwarg It's an electric mandolin, hence the size.

  • lol This... is.... awesome.

  • warren ellis legend

  • Nick Cave's middle name is intensity

  • @Swingfinger I always thought hsi middle name was "awesome"

  • @sixshooter500 and always thought his middle name to be "bad ass" :)

  • The best one chord song !

  • @Axl8787

    All songs with 1 chord are good.

  • since when cloney its a guitarist  shipwrecked ? ....just kidding they are the masters of invention!

  • they look like hobos but the music was strangely good

  • awe cut it off a couple seconds short. wanted to hear what dave was gonna say.

  • letterman always has the best musical guests it seems.

  • I go from Lamb of God to Grinderman all in one motion! I love this fucking band! TALENT!! TALENT!! TALENT!!

  • Every time I watch this, I imagine Dave's face and I laugh.

  • Nick Cave is a force I want to deal with raw talent that keeps getting better, there is not a soul out there that comes even close to his talents and the bands as well, I have driven 500+ miles for his shows and would love to do so again happily...he seems to touch all my emotions for many many years now...

  • Grinderman has everything I want in a band situation

  • I'll touch you, Nick.

  • Coked up used car salesmen from the 70s. Badass.

  • The guitar looks hilariously tiny being held by Bigfoot.

  • @shalaholo thats actually an electric mandolin, it is pretty ridiculously tiny though

  • @aceofclubs002 it's a custom-made tenor guitar actually, by eastwood i think

  • @shalaholo actually warren ellis (the guitarist) is about 6 feet tall, that guitar is just a tenor guitar, a guitar with 4 strings instead of 6, and about half the size.

  • @thestevenmccool actually a Mando-caster= 4 string electric mandolin w/4 strings

  • @StephenDorocke hmmm i guess youre right that is a mandocaster, but he does play tenor guitars also. aside from the longer scale i dont think there is a difference between them

  • better than the bad seeds and not as good as the birthday party... but better than everything else.

  • <3 Nick Cave <3

  • That was fantastic. Either you get it, or you don't.

  • Nick Cave really took a chance on those hobos he met earlier in the day being able to play instruments.

  • This is the proper way to combat the odious mid-life crisis. Grow some facial hair, throw on a cool suit, assemble an A-Bomb of a band, and give David Letterman a kick in the bum on Amerikkkan tee vee.

  • Nick Cave is an Australian National Treasure ... he's OUR Woody Guthrie ... rock the fuck on!

  • @sirbuffalo Warren Ellis was born in Ballarat, Victoria. I'm not quite sure how that makes him English... Try again.

  • FTW! This is RNR!!

  • That right there kids is rock n roll

  • no band goes on letterman without being called a "great rock n roll band"

  • @sirbuffalo so you got nothing better than to be a smartass on youtube...wtf does nick living in pommie land have to do with anything...hes aussie, you obviously fail to grasp a persons heritage...n you have beat me to the punch...whinging pom!! and dont bother replying with a retort i got better things to do than argue with fckwit bout a race war....

  • @ttt303 Hahahaha! A perfect response from a complete moron, always delicous to aggravate you. :-D

  • Its a FENDER electric mandolin.

  • god like!

  • Martyn Casey wears that bass LOW

  • i like it cool Billy february

  • that's a really small guitar

  • Geniaal aja

  • fckn aussie powerhouse...makes me proud to be one...yea fck the world..i'm aussie!!! HAHA

  • @ttt303 Once again, Warren Ellis is ENGLISH and Martyn Casey was born there too, Nick Cave lived in England for YEARS. And before you call me a Whinging Pom, I will tell you that I lived in England and Australia and you Aussies whinge more than ANYONE in the world. So stop trying to claim anyone with talent just because most of u are lacking. Most of the really talented people have bailed years ago.

  • @sirbuffalo That's the wrong Warren Ellis, buddy.

  • I simply don't like this. No offence Youtube. :)

  • @Rogg567 Shut up no one cares ya fucking idiot

  • good damm hell.

  • Deadly! Thumbs up # 448!

  • Nick Cave is too Aussie to give a fuck!

  • This is real. Thank god. Real music. Finally. 

  • where's the second guitar riff coming from?

  • @proxyflamer ? when?

  • Could you help me out? What is the word Letterman uses to describe the CD?

  • @lapislazuli7

    Eponymous

    Meaning that the CD is named after the band itself.

  • @TomothyWomothyMusic Aha, thank you. Live and learn!

  • 53 years old

  • Im all grown up now, but I still wanna grow up to be at least half as cool as Nick Cave. Prospects are looking grim. How can you top that?

  • wtf is that tiny guitar? haha :3

  • Letterman has been an avowed fan of Nick's for years. Dave has never hesitated to have him on.

  • Excellent ..love Jim's pink wedding suit, it makes me swoon!

  • So much better than the bad seeds and almost as good as the birthday party.

  • the video cuts off right before letterman says 'hi nick how are ya'; he's obviously a semi-frequent guest.

  • Dont delete this program!!

    Dont delete this program!!

  • Power to the Aussie scum rock ...!!!!

  • Nick Cave is the man. Grinderman on Letterman was like that scene from Spinal Tap when the band played Sex Farm for the Military Dance.  Too, too funny. Letterman doesn't know what just happened.

  • OMG it's a bearded George Clooney at 3:02

  • That celebration kick (post piano rape-stance) at 2:35 is fucking hilarious.

  • I want a Nick Cave Doll.

  • @ldalda very cool Ann Magnuson reference haha

  • @ldalda Yeah, action figure!

  • Gotta love the batshit insanity of Nick Cave

  • completely over the top.....all you younger wannabes gotta learn somethin from your "elders"...

  • Nick Cave is fucking awesome!!! I love his piano stance, looks like he's swashbuckling! haha

  • well I know how i'm gonna dress when I get that old.

  • effing brilliant !!!!

  • This is the real shit,you just cant get any cooler and manly then this guys !!!

  • Nick Cave (the front man) is an Australian music legend. Johnny Cash and Metallica have covered HIS songs. Johnny Cash covered "The Mercy Seat" and Metallica covered "Loverman" on Garage Inc.

  • @hailingpearl yeeeeeeeeahhh

  • LOOOOVE ol Nick Cave!

  • Amazing how consistent this guy is.

  • If you don't get this, then you're dead inside.

  • Der schaut scho aus wie der Stefan Weber, aber trotzdem super!!

  • UnpaCkbAr wiE iMMEr. !

  • This is Phenomenal!

  • the level of great balls to the wall musicianship in that band! warren Ellis,Nick Cave,Martyn Casey...great to see a bunch of aussie misfits scaring the fuck out of the Letterman audience! Flame on!!

  • Hey, idiot, DO YOUR RESEARCH: Warren Ellis was born and bred in England(Essex actually), Martyn Casey was also born there and Nick Cave has lived in England for ages.

  • @scottybassham You have to do your research buddy: Warren Ellis was born and bred in England(Essex actually) Martyn Casey was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, which is in ENLGAND. Nick Cave has lived in England for years.

  • of course Nick Cave has some other great music behind him, but Grinderman is not Nick Cave. it's a fucking rock band. i love that he, and the rest of the band, who are all seasoned vets in the music biz: touring/studio musicians, actually have this chance to let their balls to the walls. not often do record execs allow this type of crazed artistic freedom fly on their labels.

  • Just great....

  • I've never before witnessed such a menagerie of majestic facial hair and pure rock fury. Fucking Nick Cave!
