Bell X1 - Bad Skin Day (live on RTÉ)

[JannaLeise]

<3

[Rustymonkfish2011]

I really want to like this song but I just can't. :L

[LongBeachCityLove]

I wish there was more music like this in the states.

[MasterThief1324]

I never thought that someone can make a song regarding pimples/acnes and make it sound good =P.

[CherryLadiezz]

Bell X1 > Damien Rice.

[indecisive27]

It's pretty pathetic that Damien Rice signed in under four different names to dislike this video.

[Cagey75]

This is NOT Damien Rice people, and he never covered this song. Bell X1 >>> Damien Rice in my book, beautiful

[benmcloughlin1]

dats a real perfect performance so clear,like the recorded version but better..

[Murphy931]

i would love to ride miriam o callagahn

[wibblewibblewibble]

[skippy646]

[oliviamayfeathertoe]

amazing

[eddymaiden56]

Everyone should start leavin comments on other youtube pages tellin people about this band....fuckin amazing.....wish they wer playin oxegen this year...

[SoldierofFortune07]

They DIDN'T play Oxygen this year!!!? :O ahh they should've kicked out those mockney cunts blur to make space for these lads.

[TheBeeahst]

bell x1 are epic, but of all bands to kick out, not blur!! so many shockingly bad bands at that festival, but blur was not one of them!..just sayin..

[EddieTuite]

Yeh, too right man. Fuck Katie Perry out or somthin..

[irishmusiccentral]

They're playing Electric Picnic instead.. much better festival.

[lolmathlol]

God, this is even better than the studioversion.

[scandtm23]

what a beautiful song

[ncc1699]

Heard his on the radio for the first time today. Fantastic song!

[Shrubbs]

Is there a complete version of this video?

[ANWL]

Not often RTE have a fabulous band and a luscious MILF on the same programme ! - So the best I could hope for being a fella is spend the night with Miriam while listening to Bell X1

[hgarvey08]

funny, why not. Bangin da arse off miriam...lmao

[jimmymysweetjimmy]

agreed

[stoogemund]

Great performance but the camera work is truly appalling!!!

[tgunns1000]

ha wat do you expect, its RTE !

[hgarvey08]

Fantastic band. All the need is a break on the international stage. Who knows maybe u tube can do it.

[houstonveer]

Bell Ten One. It's so refreshing to here an Irish group with an edge to it. No more hopeless do-gooder bands from the emerald isle.

[MUF555]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[99vincent99]

this is too magical man wow.... seriously most beautiful song I have heard in a while...why are these guys not super popular...probly cuz they dont have drugged up chicks dancing around throwing money like in rap vids....lol

[MRM0J0RISIN777]

G I L F

[ricekrispiegirl69]

oh god hes beautiful...''some day we'll all wear a crown''....yes indeedy....

[DevotedNormanist]

Can I please eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner? Please? What an amazing piece of everything they are.

It just sounds like tears of joy.

[wheelbrace36]

pure magic

[eddymaiden56]

Excellent...pure genius..

[fifitrixiepixie]

Deep stuff....absolute Brill song

Very meaningful

[decem0]

How is this band not bigger than they are? just great song after great song.

[flaziola]

It really suits the song having it stripped back like this. They did a similar version on The Will Leahy show last year. It's still on his webpage but the audio quality isn't great.

[heressShelly]

go miriam!

[infamousjenn]

the 'poor soul of pompeii' line gets me every time.

[monikaponika]

God, I love this band!

[redhotdiesel]

Magic song. A+

[stevesteve55]

typical rte cuttin it short at the end. not realising that it was probably the best thing they had shown all year.

[Punchbear]

Salesians was a rare place alright, so many talented musicians and creative people came out of that gaff.

[Luskanagh]

Great song for the Sunday morning weariness!!

[weebeee]

jesus paul noonan is so frickin hot

[houlihan06]

ehhh have a listen to mississippi by train... very very similar

[craig2891991]

this is brillant

[cancans26]

this is totally amazing top top tune!! :)

[Rigney123]

I'm annoyed now that I found out they're playing Oxegen and I sold my ticket and am going to a festival in Belgium instead!:( I really really want to see them.

[aaronsaledge]

bell x1 are a lethal band and its a shame theres only a lot of hype about them now because i have their 2005 "flock" album and its brilliant!!

[Doradexplora]

"And CHRRRIST i'm such a drama queen"

THATS SHOWING THEY'RE PROUD TO BE IRISH!!

Seriously though still brilliant and fantastic an di love them

[joiyua]

must be one of my favourite bell x1-video :D

[realdeal1610]

brilliant brilliant brilliant..

[Rigney123]

"It feels like we're always waiting..." Very true.

[oscarkev190]

does no one have the video/mp3 of when paul and dave (i think) did reacharound acoustic on night shift?

[skippy646]

absolutley, trully beautifull ! i am in awe

[nawwwh]

great band and great song, irish people can make great music.

[eoinmadsen]

We also make some godsdamned awful music. It's all a rich tapestry. :)

[irishmusiccentral]

good answer :)

[thesparkyboy]

they really deserve to make it big,they have waited long enough,their songs are amazing :)

[spotocomoto]

flippn savage

[RyanoNo1]

LOVE LOVE dis tune jasus i could listen to dis allllll day so bloody catchy!! never get sick listening to it!!! A1 *****

[eoinmadsen]

In response to earlier question: I put an MP3 version of this up on bellx1.davejeffrey around the same time as this. You can find it in the links section of the BellX1 website.

[andmataren]

Excellent! Thank you so much. The link doesn't appear to work at this moment but I'm sure I'll get a hang on it. Thank you again, if it wasn't for you and this clip I wouldn't even know they existed :) Take care and have a wonderful evening.

[eoinmadsen]

Dave Jeffrey's site seems to be down altogether at the moment. If anyone wants the track, just shoot me a message with your email address.

The MP3 is encoded from the original TV audio stream so it's much nicer quality than the above video.

[conleth93]

i love this band,makes me proud to be irish

[madmadmacmad]

Love this song..... can anyone tell me where I can hear damien rices version, thanks.

[eoinmadsen]

I hadn't heard that he'd done a cover.

[99vincent99]

@madmadmacmad This is Damien Rice before he quit the band.

[nazyndred]

@99vincent99 ur an idiot

[michaelluvsmegan]

there going off to america now and they will b famous when they cum back and we wont see them in grafton street anymore!!

[CDR390]

lovely...........:):):)

[grambok1984]

stupid rte

[rinnin]

Oh well done RTE for cutting it short.

[davedavepower]

Top Class

[oscarkev190]

one of their best songs without a doubt

but i think i prefer the album version just the way the drums oppose the guitar but this is fantastic too

[doisneau]

I agree with you completely. Exactly my thoughts.

[oscarkev190]

yeah i agree with me too ha ha but i posted that before i got tour de flock and now i think that version is the best by miles have you heard it?

[andmataren]

Can you somehow get this acoustic version in like mp3 format or something? It's beautiful.

[jackv8200]

This is beautiful!!

[MadOKO899]

Beautiful

[FLstudiomagic]

i prefer this version i gotta say, great stuff

[shalom1jenpink]

i love this version!!bell x1 are savage

[boscotomas]

It's a pity the band isn't with him because the usual backing singer is a fairly class singer too- Trampoline for example.

[musikist]

damian rice leaves the band to become a big success on the back of pretty much one song...while bell x1 are left behind and write this song without him...funny isn't it :D

[thisisdeclan]

I love Bell X1 and much prefer their style to Damien Rice for the record. But Rice has wrote one of the best Irish albums of all time in O (top 10 at irish music central) and hit No.1 with his second, so that comment is ridiculous.

[Liena75]

unbelievable beauty

[JejPiotruch]

Oh My God! Somebody said "Probably the best song in the world"... i fully agree... but... isn't it a too sad song?

[brianjames002]

the album version is more upbeat, the drums really make this tune

[Ceolteor]

Ah it's optimistic enough; "someday we'll all wear a crown.." etc. Lovely!

[MadOKO899]

This makes me wanna start writing songs again :)

[ivebeenhigh]

that was brilliant

[ikbenlaura]

I can't believe anyone has a more beautiful voice than Paul. Wauw.

[samster23]

Lovely version of a beautiful song.

[panizin82]

i got propose while they were playing this song

[PCTOWN]

brilliant song !

[Hel89]

Probably the best song in the world. :)

[Cavan1984]

g'wan Miriam!

[page7978]

Brilliant! Can't wait til Malahide it's gonna be amazing!!
