Silversun Pickups, Kissing Families

[floatinghearts222]

i have that bass :D

[nataliemuffin]

It's a Gibson es335? I want one, but gotta save up. Beautiful. :)

[Papadupulous]

@nataliemuffin not quite, it's a 1994 Epiphone Sheraton, Tobacco burst. But it's basically a variant of the 335.

[BeatDemon08]

I like this song but its not on iTunes =[

[dinoredross]

int he thumb nail he looks like Kurt Cobain! haha

[TEHSACREDGS]

@z0003415 I heard of them in 2011, how do you think I feel!

[GregIsLegend]

It's actually VERY similar to Lazy Eye. They're still both great though.

[Allisaur4422]

He's so beautiful<3

[z0003415]

I can't believe I didn't know them until 2010.......they're awesome

[coachrobert1982]

YES! His screaming is EXCELLENT - like Glen Hansard's - especially in "When Your Mind's Made UP" in the movie "Once". INTENSE emotion THROUGH the roof...

[Frapsake]

dunkus

[MrCirkle]

Dunkus

[conkillax]

i can't understand wtf he's saying but it sounds good :D?

[mikeb0121]

me too (dunkus)

[iTziiSpacey]

Dunkus

[xoalex914]

melted.

[radilene1995]

He's cuter with the facial hair.

[schroeder1927]

He looks so much better clean shaven

[AlaskanJesus]

1:44 Bigfoot LoL.

[azzhey]

Heart voice!!!

[klysaght12345]

They are so awesome! Still yet to watch a video of them live, where Brian isn't sweating his face off.

[JasonKingOnline]

i swear this is sped up.

[shannonhm123]

They rock... Guitar rocks - bass awesome - beat - Love the guitar effects

[7Rorschach7]

This is such great highing music!

[Papadupulous]

If I could die listening to this song, I'd die happy.

But before I die I want to meet them.

[verysillypenguin]

@Papadupulous just read this exact comment under a minus the bear song. some people really want to die while listening to music or maybe you posted that comment too. I could check but i'm too lazy.

[Papadupulous]

@verysillypenguin Not me haha. Minus the bear's a bit too poppy for my tastes.

[TVTsteven]

Wonderful song so much like lazy eye though as far as the guitar parts go.

[mylastinhale]

@TVTsteven Its nothing like lazy eye. watch him play them each on the guitar. Totally different.

[TVTsteven]

@mylastinhale no it is. I know. I play guitar and know how to play both of these songs haha. It's not a bad thing and it's not just the guitar that is similar. It's the entire song structure as a whole.

[mylastinhale]

@TVTsteven I love playing these songs on guitar. makes me feel gifted. :P I love SSPU

[SeaDraggin]

<3

[KILLmeKISSyou]

He should shave his beard (:

AMAZING

[jjdidy]

where is the love it button ??????

[whw524]

@jjdidy LOVE

[kantucky]

Good golly, a serously large amount of energy in this song and this performance of it!

[pawszczep]

Two delays! But where is reverb?;-)

[muhjay]

guitar sounds like blurs song 2 :-)

[ammarhio]

3:52 Holy damn!

[CheezemanxD]

pretty good even if they sped theyre tempo up

[lufc550]

Prefer the singer with his beard. Still got a voice like a baaaabe though!

[foxd3n]

vid is sped up no?

[belkinmg]

hes pretty good but anthony green is better :))))

[eenlangedraak]

When he starts screaming, thats my favourite part.. think i like this version even more than the album version.. very very good

[BEnnyQzhu]

killer

[xxxxxxPaulxxxxxx]

i think the vid is sped up O.o

[Jenerator1976]

MY FAVORITE BAND....PLAYING MY FAVORITE SONG...SWEET!

[dh0024]

oh yeah... the music will cure all that ails ye

[MyAJ2009]

To me especially during Carnavas these guys sound like the next Sonic Youth. They can't surpass the artistic talent of Lee, Thurston, Kim and Steve though.

[moomiss]

@MyAJ2009 I Agree so much.

[TheLally829]

@MyAJ2009 fuck sonic youth they suck balls they are nowhere near as good as sspu

[zipdoa]

@TheLally829 SSPU wouldn't be where they are now without ripping off SY, dumbass.

[TheLally829]

@zipdoa dude nobody here cares about sonic youth so if you love them so much go listen to them cocksucker

[zipdoa]

@MyAJ2009 BANG ON

[zombievampirebunnies]

they play too fast if they slowed it down just a tad bit it would sound even better

[LesediLoFi]

loved them before swoon, but thats just my opinion. love this song keep rocking!! :)

[TheManwichSupreme]

3:44, close-up of Nikki's chest lol

[Superchicken32]

people this is what music is. all that other bullshit they put on the radio needs to die

[seabear305]

i never seen a band that performs sooo good live

[rnrdemon]

no way they are the new pixies, stop comparing apples and oranges, haha ;-) but they are really good.

[jimpanzer07]

these guys rock!!!

[crazyawsome9]

wow i comment on this a creepy amount of times.

[crazyawsome9]

Sooon, you'll be there too

[doodlin17]

i love there solos

[crazyawsome9]

is anyone dying right now? there is something about this man that makes me crazy. Brian Aubert, you are incredible.

[TheOldDirtyBastard]

well, now that i feel like everything outside my computer screen is happening is slow motion...

[VivaLaDrais]

i like brian better cleanly shaved ;)

[Kaifanef]

they are the new Pixies

[AmericanIdiot182]

the tempo is much faster but still great

[FGX318]

Discovered that amazing great band only 1 year ago... What a band !!! A european tour would be greatly appreciated ! (especially in western europe, I mean the very western, I mean do you need my adress...)

[GoodTimeCharliesBand]

Quacktastic!

[degracious]

can't believe I discovered this band only in 2009.. unbelievable!

[elmort13]

You are one of the best... we appreciate your talent... thank you very much..much love Melbourne!

[johnnyxxx31]

LOL AT the time of 3:44 THE CAMERA MAN IS STARRING AT NIKKI'S BOOBS! LOL im so immature :P

[nightfox1945]

@johnnyxxx31 LMMFAO good shit man

[killakella]

I love his screaming, I fucking melt.

[saturdo]

what a great version for this song!

[Chegg180]

Why is Chiristopher wearing a t-shirt that says Elvira?

That's funny, because the original drummer (before they got serious) in SSPU was a women called Elvira Gonzalez.

Uncanny.

[PainfulDefecation]

man, they are great Live.

[willseyboy]

yea, this is better then the album version

[Jennifer1985CA]

Great song. One of my favorite newer bands.

[jmInDreams]

i like this band because of there uncanny sound sorta like 90's pumpkins....dude has a voice!!

[Mitzhophrenic]

The physical resemblance to Corgan is uncanny.

[citizenflek]

@Mitzhophrenic never noticed that but its like he's his little brother

[ZocktheBumtickler]

he is a great guitar player

[15georgest]

I like this live version better then the album version for some reason.

[slaxls1]

so....wut exactly does the guy on the left do? u know, the creepy beardy one hunched over that keyboard type thing....?

[TythePartyGuy8128]

@slaxls1 He manipulates the sound of Brian's guitar.

[isiahnator]

and he plays synthesizer

[jallstars]

@slaxls1 he's the puppet master behind the band. The people actually moving are made out of plaster and they can be controlled electronically.

[slaxls1]

well, someone should tell him that the singer's eye is off center...he should fix that.

[nenshoukun]

yes, he has a lazy eye

[THECLAYSTER]

@slaxls1

Didn't you answer your own question?

He plays the keyboard.

[psycho826]

hes just a pervert

[cornyking1992]

@psycho826 how so?

[iheartlithium]

cant get enough of this song...f.amazing

[eenlangedraak]

I love this video, i like the bassy sound and when he starts screaming like that.. amazingggg

[isiahnator]

i'm going to see them with muse in april its going to be awesome

[MzJollett]

Thiz band iz great..doez anyone kno how to meet them personally or meet juz brian.or get an autograph???

[Legend037]

jump on stage

[ruzqt4me]

Move to LA, and hangout outside Silversun Liquor in Silverlake, and see if they make a pickup. Yes that is where they got their name too BTW. Making runs to the store.

[ktulu193]

The Epiphone Sheraton is a guitar only Epiphone makes and it's a damn good one. A Gibson couldn't sound better.

[mysocalledchaos]

they obviously dont need Gibsons to sound good. They sound great with the Epiphones.

[tnt131]

beautiful:) i wish all music had this much heart in it:) i love it:)

[cloudpunk13]

i don't think its exactly everyone PREFERRING epiphone to Gibson...its just that more people can AFFORD epiphone than Gibson.

[moonerella22]

i fuckin love this band they are the best fucking band in the whole universe.!!!!!!

[benntp]

@moonerella22 i concur

[pandaapple54]

hey! i have never seen nikki wear jeans! she is always wearing skirts or dresses, isn't she?

[tnt131]

wow, ur right, totally didnt notice that lol

[redjess1206]

kissing families music video i think she is wearing jeans

[redjess1206]

in the kissing families music video i think she is wearing jeans

[tavo0987]

nope shes wearing shorts

[doodlin17]

i wanna jam with them!

[RobertxRigorMortis]

they are SO fucking good live...i love em

[2010lse]

i don't like seeing bands more than once usually, but i've been dying to see them again since the last time... sadface

[Davepumpkinhead]

It's the bands that keep you wanting to come back for more that you gotta love :)

[HamburgerTrain11]

Isn't it weird how everyone prefers epiphone to gibson.

[Ruzmanga]

wrong. Not many people can afford a Gibson and are stuck with Epiphone, the closest you can get

[Grandpaconway]

Yes, you must be right....these guys can't AFFORD a guitar...what a bunch of dumbasses!

[1MartinD28]

sometimes you can find an epi with a good feel and resonation

[2blackman1]

it may seem like the synth guy is doing nothing at all, though i think all those ambient sounds and feedback is probably why i love this band so much

[SydneyEmily]

Good music is what I live for.

Love this band to death.

[ChanclasForever]

my all time favorite silversun pickups song! no doubt.

[Darthcrysis317]

Drummers that play left handed look so much cooler.

[PlushBlondeBus]

i dont know.. i play like that and i dont look very cool...

[Darthcrysis317]

I'm sure you do.

[PlushBlondeBus]

well, i appreciate it. haha

[jas22]

i used to hate live performaces on video. USED to...this band does it again.

[musicxobsession123]

i like the slower version better, although this is good.

[makaio726]

slow it dooown

[Lith333]

Brian's rocking that widow's peak.

[Grandpaconway]

another 40 year old guy comment - this is real and excellent. Good job SSPU for giving me belief in music again.

[rip11981]

The drummer rules your a douche

[JonteKrok]

SSPU and DCFC are the last bands i just have to see before i die.. Great Californian Indie!

[Moo00oose]

I don't mean to sound like a douche or anything but isn't DCFC from Seattle?

I completely agree that they are amazing indie bands though.

[JonteKrok]

Actually, they're from Bellingham, Washington. But i'd like to think they're from CA. =) Anyhow, it does'nt really matter, they're just amazing!

[Coflict1234]

I have to say, SSPU sounds AMAZING live. My goal in life is to see them in concert at least once before I die. Because anyone who hasn't truely hasn't lived yet.

[dankjoker101]

god i love this band and i luv bands like gwar/and vod /five finger death p/but i cant this band out of my mind call me a pussy i dont care they r the the shit

[CraigWroeUK]

why would you be a "pussy" for liking them?

[asianmatt2012]

Apparently, if you don't listen to bands like Pantera and Dying Fetus, you're a pussy!

[CraigWroeUK]

oh bother! looks like i'm a pussy...

[asianmatt2012]

I was being sarcastic...

[CraigWroeUK]

I know, as was I... :(

[asianmatt2012]

Haha, someone gave me a thumbs down cause they thought I was serious o.o

[CraigWroeUK]

Wasn't me, I gave you thumbs up. You just didn't get that I got it :S

[Sivadomagyar]

Because enjoying different genres of music is unacceptable.

YOU'RE NOT A TRUE METAL HEAD UNLESS YOU ONLY LISTEN TO METAL.

seriously man, who gives a fuck about what other people think? just listen to what you like. Life's too short.

[Grandpaconway]

what? Sweet personal theory.

[diesect33]

@Sivadomagyar I'm a metalhead and i agree. I love this band. Screw the pretentious douchebagery

[maurfr5]

Hermosa!!! que bajista tan hermosa....es un sueño...me acuerda de D'arcy W.

[Monteze187]

Its all so melodic and deep..WOW..just wow..excellent songwriting

[magjati]

you guys are great looking forward to you jacksonville apperance in october!!!!!

[faazlh15]

does anyone know what kind of pedal he uses as an oscillator in this video?

[husyoFAJA88]

most of their stuff is pretty fast, its just their sound. some of their songs are a little slower though. you could try common reactor :) i love that song and its one of their slower songs they've written. if you think this is too fast but like the band then you'd like that song (probably)

[husyoFAJA88]

i love them but i wish brian would do something about his hair :/

[Gamagachee]

It doesn't matter how many chords you do in a song or how good you can shred what matters is that the songwriting is good and song itself is great.

[steveisjesus]

yep

[mhofkp]

not as bad as yer smelly face!

[Ca2roline]

I really like how Nikki and Brian's vocals sort of mix together in this song. I wish I played in a band like theirs!

[musicxobsession123]

fuckin great!

[LosersHaveMoreFun]

they have a really really good song thats really really unknown called currency of love, all of u should check it out

[GOPACKERSJT]

man i listen to metal, harcore, hard rock, and punk. Those are totally different genres and I must say, these guys are really great!

[Gamagachee]

There's many bands like these guys. I listen to all those genres too and my favorite band is The Smashing Pumpkins, and 90's and Grunge is my favorite time for music, so Silversun Pickups carrys alot of those references which is why they're such a great band

[blackdakhma]

@GOPACKERSJT I wouldn't say those genres are totally different. They all have very similar qualities.

[TheBloodrayne12]

lmao. always

[rakenash]

Female bassist; always hot.

[kia1cRiSs]

yes indeed. charlotte from the subways also!

[gogogadgetspoon]

Too right man.

[skofadown]

thier drummer makes me hapy ^_^

[FreekishNdazed]

The studio version is one of my favorite songs overall

[kidkeoki2k8]

these guy's should be headliners. end of story.

[mcjesusyo]

he does have that soft voice to scream kinda billy corgan sound..and they do have a 90 rock sound..none the less they are a solid band and im geeked to see them at lallapalozza in 2 weeks.p.s it can never be a bad thing to be compared to a band like the pumkins.i wish someone would say i looked like brad pitt......

these guys sound better live

superb.
