[desdmoana]

Aren't these guys from Kentucky or some such backwater? Damn. Just goes to show you how beauty can come from pain........

[pliouso]

Wow this is shit! Usually they're good live, this was dificult to watch...

[musicfanFTW1]

Two of their best live songs.They're saving modern music one song at a time!

[myunholyconfession1]

[cubbienate97]

Best live show of all time!!!

[nowakmark]

Major probs on the engineer who setup the recording for this sounds TOP NOTCH

[kaimac247]

best band ever but i think matt needs to drop that hopping thing, it makes his singing so chopy

[ReddHannibal11]

why does this have below 200,000 views?

[stevomatic33]

5:55

Deep in the jungle camouflaged by all the fallen leaves,

A hand hold ups the sky while shamefully I make my POOP.

Tehehe.

[jls6454]

@stevomatic33 I walk through the jungle with my balls showin.

[kurtcoibainjr]

I was going to sign in and make a comment, but i couldn't listening.

Side note- this is the best modern drummer. :)

[3CheersFor9Years]

i love these guys

[landoo123]

these guys are gonna be huge and we are the ones who were first fans

[PNKEEE07]

that drummer is so ugly! sorry, love the band but..

[reeeeedsteppppp]

@PNKEEE07 Its bad that you notice that rather than stage precense.

[googlemaster6380]

"I hate you, I am going solo next year! DUh nuh nuh nuh"

[switchfootrocks11]

im amazed at how good he sounds when he moves that much... most singers would get out of breath and out of pitch

[heathermairelynn]

Love them!

[crucialRob]

He has an amazing attitude while singing, plus his dance is really awesome

[N1590]

the chorus for lotus kinda sounds like the verse of "otherside" by the chilli peppers..

not complaining though, excellent group.

[lucaslmgv]

The singer kind of reminds my best friend. So much energy. lol

[Swaxinsaxin]

why in the world is the crowd sitting????

[docBOSS1444]

sexy

[kurtcoibainjr]

2 people missed the like button.

[pelletgun12]

Is it just me or does he sound a little like that guy from the doors

[squashplaya0313]

@pelletgun12 U mean Jim Morrison

[pelletgun12]

@squashplaya0313 yeah

[kurtcoibainjr]

@pelletgun12 I see that

[squashplaya0313]

@pelletgun12 U mean Jim Morrison



[Hallucination101]

@pelletgun12 Not really

[AntiHeroSkateboardss]

@pelletgun12 Not even close.

I'm a huge fan of both bands, but they sound nothing alike.

Two amazing vocalists though, don't get me wrong.

[pelletgun12]

@AntiHeroSkateboardss I guess its just me and maybe one other guy, Anyway I have to agree that there both great bands and vocalists though

[pbjules18]

love this songs

are fucking awesome!!!

[nubbinnoob]

oh man, that lp through the orange sounds like heaven

[nubbinnoob]

these guy sound freakin perfect live.

[pennyroyalsean]

some fucking band. Best live iv seen them

[14unicycle]

sounds different not live

[DrGmotz]

pathetic ass crowd

[joelsa22]

Matts moves are way too weird but otherwise a great performance.

[globalchaos1984]

Great live. love cage!!!!!!!

[InsideAVitalSuit]

These guys are great live..

[InsideAVitalSuit]

I just get the chills watching this...Lotus has got great meaning and just check out the bassist finger pickin like a mad man...Great tunes...

[nofxdude89]

i like this band...but the lead singer needs to stop jumping around so much that is ruins his vocals, and the lead guitar needs to shred more...otherwise...great groove! like it a lot!

[MrCorny7]

i NEED bass tabs but no one has nthem, good god someone post TABS

[PatcheProductions]

He sings with such emotion i cant get enough of these guys.

[nzephier]

CTE deserves every bit of positive criticism they receive.

[softrocker620]

At this angle, it looks like he's kneeing the audience members in the face haha

[TheUnsungArtist]

@softrocker620 He should have been.... :/

[94Kane]

his voice has some vibrations xD thats fucking cool!

[TheiZumKid]

he should of started thrusting the peoples heads..

[twinkiebots]

oh its not that hard

[Kratos4185]

r he sieriously goin solo?

[jay112711]

@Kratos4185 god youre dumb

[JDMURDERERS]

@ Bluntz216 fucking straight music today sucks cage will help bring it back

[sanders136]

it is fucking bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hyattbulldog97]

@sanders136 and so are you

[gallagon1]

I like the thing he does with his feet at about 1:09

[maddellaharl]

im pretty sure he messed up a few times

[deadguy555]

i think he would sound so much better if he didnt move and kick so much when he sang but thats just me

[thebutterbeanchannel]

@deadguy555 the only thing is that his jumping around and acting crazy mixed together will ridicuously awesome music is what makes crowds jizz their pants

[Bluntz216]

cage the elephant is one of the best new bands to come out in such a time of musical crisis

[jay112711]

@Bluntz216 correction, THEE best band ever

[carwile75]

@Bluntz216 And it came from Kentucky the most uneducated state in the country. Fuck we rule

[jaybyrd570]

I am seeing these guys on my birthday, SO PUMPED!

[king4life420a]

and people who like this support this shit go to shows!! buy cds!!

[king4life420a]

ok this makes it final i willl BUY there album!! much respect

[Stretchlucas]

@Vappor01 I totally agree, it kinda reminds me of Perry Farell.

[Vappor01]

I personally LOVE the way he dances, I'm sure he can't help it. Every song I hear, I just wanna get up and DO SHIT, cause it's so energetic and just.. amazing.

[skater4t]

that bass part is legit

[holidayspoofs]

they are freaking awesome but he twitches and sings like hes high live

[MCcoheedRandcambria]

i am officially ADDICTED to this band, matt is amazing the way he really gets into his music, same with the rest of the band

[Tricksalot]

For you people who think the crowd sucked, usually they ask you to keep quiet, cause it goes on the radio, and people dont want to hear a crap ton of cheering. that's why.

[DirtyDecember]

amazing voice!

[clutchfan540]

99.3 the fox is the station in my home town was this in winchester, va? this band fuckin rocks! from the lame ass crowd just sittin there it wouldnt surprize me if it was shot in winchester.

[doc7114]

i hate the way that this guy dances.

[gunnman479000]

he has ADHD thats why hes like that

[hyattbulldog97]

@gunnman479000 I think thats a rumur. I talked to the singer of one of their opening bands and she said that he's actually really quiet and calm in person,but the stage thing is just a act sort of.

[djessc800]

I can't believe that crowd Dx That performance was great though, as expected :D I frickin love these guys

[jjaidynn]

LOL HE CAN DANCE!!!!

[megabeast101]

I want to listen to play this song on my bass so bad.

[mintymikey23]

5:34 says a lot , the drummer singing the lyrics doesnt sound like a big deal but it shows they're really into their music and they actually 'feel it', pretty rare today sadly..

[DustyGonadsInYoMouth]

these guys are awesome. great lyrics. live is great but vocals are more drowned out than in the... not live version

[bwsw76]

the studio version

[Skwerl132]

The singer couldn't pass his own song if they got it into rockband the way he's spazzing at every live concert, anyone know if he ever explained why he does that in the first place?

[Milesu2b]

@Skwerl132 he get's really into it. it's amazing.

[ShaneSmitty420]

cause.. he can

[tycoon2013]

wow lol did anybody else notice how much better he sounds when he stands still ? haha like no joke

[Pkanom]

these guys are diff from alot of other bands they have a bad ass sound and great front man

[TillmannBTVdrums]

i think the vocals are great. so unique.

they kick ass live.

[DraxEpi]

At least the frontman keeps his personality unlike other artists.

I think these guys are awesome. The lyrics are phenomenal, and their live performance on the video was excellent.

[samantonio]

3:11

fellatio

[JAMon419]

OMG LOL!!!! THEY STINK LIVE!!!!!!!

[thedarkunknown2]

@JAMon419 i do think there not the best they could be live.

if the frontman would just stop bouncing for 2 minutes than maybe it would be better

[ihateignorantpeople1]

@JAMon419 Ya, maybe if they lip synced it, stood still, and put forth no energy they would be better live.

[IzLoveMoneyz]

haha. the guitarists reminds me of the beatles. guitar really high, hunched over, just ahs that vibe. :P

[mados123]

Give me a spaz over a wallflower and the bass IS sick.

[TheShyPieGuy]

holy shit the bass is wild in Lotus!!!

[EATxDANCExPUKE]

@samspet66: agreed.

[samspet66]

Great performance wasted on that audience.

[NickManor]

@samspet66 totally agreed

[funnyjewishrapper]

@samspet66 as long as someone is listening nothing is wasted

[drummer6374]

@samspet66 no kidding

and half of the people were like 70 years old

[Fatiuk]

@samspet66 it wasnt wasted that was broadcasted over the air so they were being respectful so u didnt hear all the bullshit and u just hear them playing...it wasnt wasted haha but i agree this was an amazing performance..

[bassplayer94can]

@samspet66 a performance is never a waste..

[kevinwewe]

@samspet66 i think they were playing that live on the radio? if they were, the audience probably wasn't supposed to make any noise..

[XCrazyGuitarManX]

the guitars are panned the wrong way round! still amazing though

[rocket88bass4]

your right

[outdoorsman120]

there awsome but he can be a spazzz

[spiggotblister]

@outdoorsman120

Obviously you don't know anyting about concerts or stage presence...

[Slovak420]

Yeah and when all the moving is making his voice jumpy and leaving him out of breath kind of makes for bad stage presence

[goodpickin56]

great on cd but the dude cant even remember his own lyrics im mean come on i know them better

[GtrDude23]

I fuckin love CTE. Dude does anyone realize how hard the bass part to the verse in Lotus is?

Thats insane! Great musicians

[theledan]

@GtrDude23 Not really man cause he's so fucking low, bass players always are.

[Ardanae]

@GtrDude23 Its pretty much the best bass part in any of their songs, and it is AWESOME.

[nubbinnoob]

@GtrDude23 it's my favorite part of the song

[babcack]

@GtrDude23 yeah dud that bass line is sick. lotus has got to be one of my fav's

[paintmethesky]

<3 forever

[crumpstrash]

ya man boner 4 ever lol

well somewhat boner

[opti95]
