CAKE - The Distance (Live)

[ZxZheadhunterZxZ]

Ok just for the record, this isn't rap or rap rock, its speak-singing

[beallman64]

i first thought he was tom green...

[ArieeShadow8]

I LOVE HIS VOICE

[drago336]

Next time someone disses rap as "just talking to music" I'ma bitch slap 'em for dissing Cake.

[1482man]

I like this , rap with rock . I can hear exactly what he's saying like rap music back in the day . Not bragging bout whores and money . Not to mention it's live , Really nice ....

[hellya280]

[hellya280]

[TheSasukelover33]

he's so awsome!!! love it

[hellya280]

cool



[slimman111]

Ever since this song came on the radio while I was playing F-Zero I constantly associate this song with Captain Falcon.

[DixieDregs22]

I never knew that the bassline in this song was so awesome. I guess I just never noticed it on the studio version.

[ei24sen]

...why this single wasn't in NFS's traxx? :p

[241timberwolf]

i LOVE the gutairest!! and the drumest!!

[diamanteloco2002]

cool n smooth

[shwick470]

He plays the spring ball like no other!!!!!!!!!!!!

[241timberwolf]

biting his horse--- does he have rabies??

[TheDoctorisin2181]

@241timberwolf That's what it's called when Jockey's hit the horse with their whip things.

[ikillalot]

she's all alone all alone in her time of weed !

[WTHImPurple]

I had to come here because the music video is out of my country and I live in the USA ... stupid VEVO ...

[Simon0]

I am not a fan of rap but i do like this. Can anyone recomend any other CAKE songs i might like?

[MidWestWop]

@Simon0 I wouldn't consider Cake "Rap". Although they do have distinct hip-hop influence.

[OutlawRepresent]

@Simon0 short skirt/long jacket



[pelop100]

@Simon0 perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. mustache man. sad songs and waltzes. short skirt long jacket.

[Kenneth9725]

danny macaskill

[sheardelightful]

ina CAKE kind'a mood today.......

[phish100123]

what a great performance - perfect

[squishedpimp]

Awesome performance.. but what a shit audience.

[TasteThePlaydoh]

@squishedpimp pretty much every cake show I have been to.

[ulp007]

Best rock since Roadhouse Blues, which it lovingly embraces and commemorates.

[bobbyhalick]

Their bass player IS sick, but his bass is mega out of tune during this song lol

[kfdisawesome]

@bobbyhalick he ain't out of tune...



[odeskoo]

...when im ready 2 quit, this song urges my continuence...

[fudgemuffins10111]

Overall awesome song

[SnozzberryJam]

This song is about masturbation.

[241timberwolf]

i love this song! i heard it in class as part of our school work! awsome gutair work!

[MrLimo64]

Killer song!!!! Great song to listen to while Watchin NASCAR race!!!

[Theawesomegirl5]

Awesome!!!

[lassalle4]

Cake are the coolest and most understated musicians , they are the masters of not wanking !

[ruudcologne]

grooooovy!

[BizarreDreams1]

#swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

[sharpclay]

.......incredible!

[zcarsguy57]

oh 240p....

[TriggerHappyJ1]

They sound great live and most song live sucks

[mitchr1224]

@TriggerHappyJ1 Try Rise Against. The only difference in live and recording is you cant hear the singer's voice as well and its a hell of a lot louder.

[jasonroxorz]

@TriggerHappyJ1 cha?

[Chilly1733]

Damn they sound great live.

[Kenneth9725]

Man i just love his voice!

[marshman500]

This band has so much style its not even funny.

[juices1234]

Cake reminds me so much of Frank Zappa. Both are godly. Both are tasty.

[PapaFozz]

trenken, can you even hear or do you just babble something some other troll wrote somewhere. Calling Cake "average" musicians is like saying Beethoven was an average piano player. The bassist and trumpet alone are two of the best in ANY genre. I normally don't respond on these things but I hate ignorant blathering.

[aaambah]

so bizzare, i love it! seein 'em tonight :)

[trenken]

This band is so odd I love it. They are just very average musicians if you want to compare them to a band like Rush, but they have such an original sound, very groovy. The singer is almost rapping in the verses. Very cool.

[tsumandjii]

best bassline ever!

[robinvydeo]

CAKE ROX!!!

[CHARLESWOODWARD15P]

35 people could not go THE DISTANCE!!

[chasecarrick32]

Are they rock or like pop?

[thephobbs]

i'll take another slice too !

[meltz911]

beautiful



[sofoklis83]

last night i saw them in Athens and they where fucking awesome, great band they closed with the distance

[preludefan]

1:32 on lsd...

[RarwFactor]

Hey whats that fat kid doing in my suggestions box

bloody kid

[wildsugarfly]

Awsome ....

[TheMaoyihui]

This was a rather awesome piece of Cake.

[johnnytenjobs]

This cake is so moist Ursula

[neb933]

i like their dirty casual look they dont overdress with make up and weird ass clothing they're just chill humble group of guys

[davidjoe16]

they suck go t nine inch nails

[tropixsongs]

CAKE is so underrated! THEY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER!!!

[Bryce20XX]

I just found this band a couple days ago Cake is fucking awesome

[tpot91]

They just sound so great live. Better then 80 percent of bands ive ever heard live

[TheFunnyCorp]

It feels so good to listen to a non-autotuned song live.

[DiJareJaSRB]

Amazing band. Come to Serbia, boys.

[enginedog]

Vibraslap!

[roysucz]

wer

[Z01D1111]

Saw them @ the Ryman in Nashville a few months ago. Best show I've ever seen.

[PoorBoy706]

Dang! These guys sound AWESOME live! I love bands that play their music like people hear it on the radio! See you in Boise, Cake (June '11 at the Botanical Gardens)!!

[pumpkingoth]

yeah, i grew up with this band. my mom LOVES them. this was like my favorite of their songs when she would listen to them

[brwolff09]

Going to see them in 15 days for the first time. I'm as giddy as a 12 year old who got her first period.

[xXTraceVandalXx]

One of the best bass lines and one of the best guitar riffs ever in the same damn song! CAKE EFFIN RULES!!!

[dmanlien2111]

listen to that bass. tasty

[Harken22]

"Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse, assail him, impale him with monster truck force." I will never write such poetry...

[imCopacetic]

james white quoted this on his facebook. lmao -y.o.s.

[Salaminguana]

33 people bla bla bla shit bollocks.

[TheRandomguy112]

needs more cowbell

[Salaminguana]

@TheRandomguy112 are you calling oor lass a cow?

[vatorob702]

They are coming to las vegas, I waited too long and had to pay 3time face value for the tickets, well worth it im sure... is a pool party but in vegas that means shorts and shirt to 3 piece suit that you dont mind getting wet..lol

[sMexiicHerry24]

How do you just stand there and nod your head at a Cake concert?! D:<

[Rebeca1362]

mtt bom o som dessa banda, ouvi num filme de bodyboard, pireii! ;D

[MrKitchenTruck]

it's Tom Green! wait..

[xBADASSARCEUSx]

THE CAKE ISN'T A FUCKING LIE!:D

[TheAstralDarkness]

Cake rules...

[smashinatesweetinate]

they have definitely mixed some genres and made their own and it's beautiful!

[fathungryboy123]

33 people cant go "the distance"

[XxMaLcLmPwNsxX]

you lucky bastard!, i didnt think that someone from peterborough could get so many veiws on youtube, lmao! i should upload some of my live concerts!

[Kyrby28]

IM goin the distance!!

[vagorock]

Long Live CAKE!!!

[TheMccabe66]

Is he wearing a nazi uniform

[BobTheSkeleton]

32 people are still alone in their time of need...yes I know these jokes are cheesy but i just couldn't help it.

[DaphneRhiannon]

I love Cake!

[montazarmontazarmont]

One of few bands that's actually good live.

[unarctic]

@montazarmontazarmont indeed, sounds like a mixture of sage francis and the roots (both awesome live). So cant be bad!

[hightdan]

Cakes bass player is just sick.. nuff said.

[TheHamishbatten1995]

@hightdan Truly epic.

[onthefritz13]

@hightdan He's a genius... has his own riffs, loops, and still manages to stay with the drums... without interfering with the guitars and the melody of John's vocals, not to mention leaving enough room for the organs and/or the trumpet. 'Creative' is a word that doesn't even come close to what he does... it takes me ages to analyze what he's doing before i can play along with the songs, and once i've got it, it's like.... respect, enormous respect...

[hamsterbomb1]

just love the chorus

[cheiachris]

what tom morello looked not like him ^^

great track but not the best bassline in the world

already mentioned the master of melody

tom "bring that shit in " morrello

<3 ratm

[SLSheehan]

VIBRASLAP!

[tatyramirez]

<3

[aussiefirestorm]

Does anyone know what happened to the original bassist?

[Jackalope40]

@aussiefirestorm ... Victor Damiani (sp?) left after 'Fashion Nugget' w/ the guitar plater, Greg Brown, to form a band called 'Deathray', who broke up in 2007...

[aussiefirestorm]

@Jackalope40 Yeah Victor somethingorother, the gitaur player left too well no wonder they could not prelong the magic...

[jdmusic07]

I love that "hey" around the 2:21ish mark

[stude444]

VIBRASLAP!

[MAXslackYOURSELF]

Cake.  Always tasty.

[shelbyrox15vc1]

its cool cuz he doesnt have to sing it just souns cool wen he just says it

[baddbritney]

cake rules going to see them live in portland soon..

[einmar]

If you like Cake, check out : Girl Happy - Remind me tomorrow of today

[whiteheadcm]

@einmar what does liking cake have to do with that song? lol

[einmar]

@whiteheadcm

Just a happy song, and makes you want cake..

[preshtime]

They used to play at the Cafe Paris on 25th and K Street. It was just a little dump, and they were amazing

[LesPaulLover1227]

they're so amazing live!

[sungyultaylor]

I have never heard a Cake bass line that I didn't like and that isn't amazing. Mc Crea and Cake are legendary man.

[preshtime]

I went to Sacramento High School with these guys! They played our school Carnival in 1988! Even then we knew they were fucking awesome!

[12dbzman]

29 people are Justin bieber fans

[renegade2551]

@12dbzman don't put that shit here. Seriously.

[spa1967]

Great bass player.

[richrob543210]

this is my all time favorite song to play bass

[NixeonDead]

why is he crouched if its a car race?

[Endexter]

@NixeonDead why is he riding a horse in a car race?

[stude444]

@NixeonDead Its all a metaphor for chasing someone he loves.

[stude444]

@NixeonDead Because hes a bad ass?

[AlvisRN]

Love this song!

[mad321man]

What kind of drums does he play

[Mrdruggedalien]

and again CAKE RULES

[drewsky684]

sprechgesang, any cake fan should know what that word means.

[RobertHarrisMusic14]

hahaha if you look on the side, it says cake mix.

[DANNYTHEQUAD]

Siiiiiiick bassline!!!

[ubernerd35]

Holy shit. The best song ever is better live. Who'da thunk it?

[hockeymonster48]

when was this concert

[clerkfiesta]

CAKE is honestly the best all-around band. Nothing about them sucks. The bass lines are funky as hell, the guitar parts are very unique, the lyrics are poetry, the vocals with the harmonies sound so good, the fucking trumpet rules, the drums kick ass, not to mention the motherfucking VIBRASLAP!

[WillaRobertsTV]

@clerkfiesta i agree 100% with every fucking thing that you said... VIBRASLAP= HELL YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[mylkTV]

@clerkfiesta Word!

[teddyruxpin2000]

@clerkfiesta This is a magnificent comment. Amen.

[doisneau]

@clerkfiesta Very true :) although I have to say that I like this drummer more than their current one. But they're still my favourite band, without a doubt!

[nblBer]

what is vibraslap?

[clerkfiesta]

@nblBer the percussion instrument that their singer hits in just about every song

[GallGael2]

@nblBer "WAK-kerrrr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r"

[tlrxlver]

@nblBer 1:09 :D

[supertoasterful]

@clerkfiesta ya dude the vibraslap is one of there signature sounds that make cake,cake

[smithson876]

I love Cake. I just heard them on Conan and they played one of there new songs and to be honest the lyrics were brutal. Without Greg Brown they just don't have the song writing. Too bad.

[Jalfmar3]

I would like to have heard this song recorded by James Mason.

[darkstar3472]

he looks like a hobo...idk why but i like this hobo music

[lachikina]

I love that !

[nascarmario23]

@doisneau Totally agree!

[erica04901]

they rule!!

[Lifeson0]

30 people couldn't go the distance....

[doisneau]

Only band which could compete with John, Paul, George and Ringo.

[murderousbastard83]

Too bad Greg Brown isn't in the band anymore. He wrote a great song here.

[starpointz]

Actually decent live. Most bands are horrible live.

[franciscojavierm]

I love to put this song really loud when I'm driving alone in an open highway.

[jayxmenendez]

Sick just sick!!!Cake is awesome

[dungeonmattster]

29 people can't go the distance

[happyjack585]

wish i was there. what a great pump up song.

[TriphopJunkie]

Whos playing a imaginary Instrument while listening to this.........I am....

[triphortet]

@TriphopJunkie hahahahaha me too

[lukeee117]

bassist looks like tom morrello in the beginning

[4sledge5]

@lukeee117 I swear, I thought I was the only one who thought that haha

[thISxTHplacE]

@lukeee117 holy shit, yeah he does

[Victorinox667]

@lukeee117 I think that almost every time I see him xD

[nadianasa]

@lukeee117 i thought so too..:-)

[xxAoakauaxx]

@lukeee117

and guitarist looks like willem dafoe ! 0:33

[MEMgrizzlies7]

I will never understand McCrea's obsession with the vibra slap...

[Jalfmar3]

@MEMgrizzlies7 He's got a fevah? . . . . .

[lemun73]

The bass line is siiiick.

[2001hollister1]

29 people arent going for speed

[razzlefrazzle123]

Who here thinks that John would be a better rapper than Eminem or Kanye?
