Silversun Pickups "Lazy eye" live with Jared on Live 105

[mongo88now88]

amazing anyone would care if he sounds like an alien. his voice is amazing and this song is not just good. frankly, i'd argue it is one of the most remarkable songs (incl. lyrics) I have heard in the last 30 years. "everyone is so intimately re-arranged" maybe it's me as an older chap, but "that's when I said I relate, it's so fun to relate" so a truly profound statement lost on most.

[reggaemon14]

whatabeautifulman.

[Darkbow27]

I'm sorry but no way in hell does he sound like a girl. He sounds perfectly like a guy the whole time through. Can you not hear the lower pitch and grainyness in his voice you dumbasses?

[fool232323]

I felt good about that one too..

[MultiQina]

jared, please be my sensei!

[wesyboy101]

i guess 7 people weren't waiting for this moment.

[mongo88now88]

You can see my prior comments. Only a handful of songs truly affect you in life - for me, at my age, maybe a dozen that are extrememly meaningful. Many more are fun, interesting, sad, whatever - at the right time. This song, and particularly this version, caught me off guard. Nothing new under the sun, we say? Sometiimes there is.

[sublimefan21000]

he sounds like a fuckin girl seriously

[kev2594]

It's awesome living in the bay area because I listen to live 105 all the time! xD

[kev2594]

Pure raw talent.

[mongo88now88]

muppets.

this song changed my life in 2007 and was remarkable for the chord progression. your expression of his vocal range says more about your command of the English language, can't I use non-words too?

listen to the lyrics. 'everyone is so intimately rearranged'. put that in your pipe.

[508luke]

when he talks it sounds like hes on helyium

[ShockWave7500]

Picture Brian singing Rhinoceros or Today, I think his vocal style would suit those songs perfectly (not that Billy's doesn't, just saying)

[timopl]

damn he didnt do the screamooo!

it'd be so much better!

whatever this version is great anyway heh

[kunaikai]

it's not scremoo, his voice just gets rough

[VictorrKidd]

his screams is nothing like screamo, it's more like a scratchy yelling

[timopl]

okay guys chill out. whatever it is you know what i'm talking about, so who cares about the technicalities of this

[VictorrKidd]

oh my bad I didn't mean to sound annoying but yeah who cares, it's good ass music ;D

[ValhallenExile]

un - fucking - believable!

[hoopaholic33]

filthy.

[CharlesLegendario]

This song is AWESOME and he plays guitar fucking GREAT.. and his voice is just like in the sudio version.. such a great artist

[5674651]

[Ilikemixingthingsup]

Damn what an amazing voice... He sounds the same live as he does on his tracks, now thats talent :D

And to top it off he's sick on the guitar! Nice and constant rhythm! I love it! XD

[Rol3ks]

He says "waiting" like Andy Samberg says "whiskey".

[likelylike]

stunning man's voice.. i thought it was a woman singing before

[bryan578]

yeah, i thought it was a woman too!

[mariahsayshello]

so did I!

[laugh0at0you]

Aww, no guitar solo.

[retardedman]

His voice is awesome, one of the best voices I've ever heard. His vocals fits so good in this band.

[greencoldpeas]

hes like the singer of coheed and cambria without trying lol

[420Guitar420]

yeah except silversun pickups are good

[NeilHolmes72]

it's kinda weird to hear him talk then start singing - I was looking for when he took the hit of helium

[TThreatProductions]

awe what happend to the loud part? :(

Oh well it was still awesome

[policiadelmar]

This song never gets old.

[youfartinmychalupa]

[kyleisbadass]

[DDRsensation]

I've been hwating... LOL sspu ftw

[kenthenoob]

[YoungChaz60]

his voice don't match his face. i'm just looking like it gotta be fake

[Kanakaboy]

Yeah when I heard this song on the radio I was thinking some hot chick siinging this song but then when I watched the video I was like what the hell.

[RyanDahl1080]

It's not this guy's for real lol

[Xtreme2252]

"Forget about it?" hehehe

[midnightglitters]

he is so amazing on the guitar!

[Xtreme2252]

my friend actually knew this was a guy first time he heard it without knowing who was actually singing it, which is...kinda cool i guess

[calilover218]

whaatt the FUCKKKK

is up with his voice ?!!??!?!?!?

[BigHit9922]

do i feel what? lol

[Motoko1134]

this guy is fuckin ridiculous good, holy shit

[jamesiscool454545]

he's like anthony green. you don't expect this voice to come out but its awesome.

[loprosouthoc]

check him out singing rusted wheel on liquid generation

[jonnithundahhhh]

ive watched three or four videos of him singing.. and i really can't comprehend how a voice like that comes out of his mouth..

[starbury203]

its seems fake like dubbed over

[gcab93atyahoodotcom]

i think his voice matches his face..

some people think that about augustana too.

that guy used to look trashy, but his voice is just amazing.

[shiningmer]

wish I could play guitar like him..

great music!

[Quimoxi]

sabia que era hombre!!!

[alexopkm]

jajajaj no mamess

[orangecrush007]

I couldn't tell whether it was a dude or a chick either. But still dude can sing really good and emotionally. Its aweome.

[zicochain1]

If you don't like this band then why the hell are oyu watching this video. Ps, there is a female singer in the group too you knows.

(a message to a closet Silversun Pickups fan)

[Lotrfan99]

i dont get people who do that its pathetic...silversun pickups rock and hes awesome too

[pischrena]

Heh. Man, his voice is kinda cracking. Love this freakin band though.

[ghoublaoert]

Muy bueno!!!

[itsmaliceLAWL]

nopain your really bad actually im better than u and i suck really bad LuL

[usedlover21]

[usedlover21]

[Dautovik]

[ryan121890]

your not better at all, don't kid yourself you stupid fuck.

[n0pain21]

im better....no way these is pure talent...im suprised the bearded lady made a song tho

[russelgman]

THATS A GUY SINGING THIS SONG? doesn't matter, it's still amazing.

[moogley333]

pete wentz can go die

[crapov]

Wow, fantastic. I'm buying the album tomorrow!

[geneoism]

inspired me to make a cover... check it out.

[totallyxskrewed]

What a cute voice. I love this song.

[LordMikko]

This guy is amazing.

Period.

Jog on.

[tigrknot]

Who else plays live on radio like this? I think this is great! This man is playing early in the morning, which one YOU pinheads negatively commenting on here could do that? Sure it doesn't sound EXACTLY like the record but who the heck wants that?! It's great, it's real and I can't wait to see what this band does next!

[chicosky1978]

wow.....brian u r just amazing!!!!! i wouldnt be able to play and sing like you not even in my dreams!!! what a gift that you have pal!

[GoMHSA]

Would you all please go to hell? Just enjoy the music, or go. Please.

[jauiek]

what a boring life when everything is "perfect" or becomes how everyone else says it should be.... the "sloppiness" is a huge part of what makes it what it is....

[spadesghost]

like a blow job. yes.

[jauiek]

my thoughts exactly...

[masterb8daily]

quit nitpicking guys. u wouldn't be listening to the video if u didn't like the song. with music, all that matters is enjoyment.

[spadesghost]

i like this. it sounds even better than the video. yes, he does sound like sp but eh, better to emulate something meaningful and sound good than regurgitate the new/pop and be crap eh

[sighinaballoon]

wow, all this time i thought it was the girl singing....

[rastapasta13]

ok it shouldn't matter how good this guy is at guitar. we all like the music,and thats what matters.

What guitar is that... A fender malibu or palomino?

[marplesurf]

when he says there a rip off of the sp he means their song "1979" do to the riff

[ramones316]

SSPU is everything Smashing Pumpkins used to be, which was alternative and cool. Billy Corgan wishes he was indie.

SSPU ROCKS!!!!

[yoyomonkey0000]

They're related in many more ways then the guitar... Still, there's nothing wrong with that.

[TheMikey3000]

he sometimes sounds like a girl on the recording is cause his bassist is a chic and she sings the part with him sometimes.

anyway AWESEOME SONG!!!

[markbooher1]

look at their tabs and compare them to smashing pumpkin tabs, they're such a rip off of the pumpkins

[yoyomonkey0000]

Every band has influences. It's not a rip off. I don't even really like the Smashing Pumpkins, but SSPU is my favourite band.

[markbooher1]

well yeah i guess that's a way to look at it just a big influence...but i'm not saying anything i do like sspu

[getter333]

I agree... might be a similar chord progression but this song grabs you way more than 95% of what Corgan has written. It's minimally written and puts forth emotion making you wanna sing along and move to it. This version I wasn't too impressed with, I dig the recording though. Live, SSPU can't fully reproduce the recording, but still great performers.

[sestavajajo]

OH he is playing the guitar. The smashing pumpkins had a guitar too. He must be copying them..

grow up.

[markbooher1]

maybe if you knew anything about music, compare the music to smashing pumpkins instead of making a rude ass remark. now you grow up.

[radicaljonny]

i love this song and band. such a fun song to play as well.

[Otiliaaaax]

i love this song (:

but, when i first heard it, i thought a girl sang it :x

[kkk54321]

the dj sounds like pete wentz o.O

[SpikeMinoda]

His voice is very ranged, actually. Well Thought Out Twinkles is a prime example of how wide his range is.

[jakebiorn]

he's like kurt cobain.. you can't tell if hes absolute garbage or genius, but i like.

[RedPaintingsFTW]

It does sound a bit feminine on first listen, yeah.

[zackvogt]

the reason he thought it was a twelve string is because it its the stratacoustic... so the head looks kinda funny... like a strat... so i can understand why he was confused.

[DOCjacob]

ya whats the matter do u have a lazy eye... HAHAHAHAHA

[happymusic26]

Very good, i like the voice, very unique, wasn't expecting that voice. By the way,thats a 6 string...it even zooms in on it

[paddyizzle]

wow i like his 12 string guitar

[SpikeMinoda]

That's not a twelve string, it just has a headstock from an electric.

But I like it too.

[theone010101]

you can't do power chords on a 12 string.

[musiccritic72]

lol yes you can just harder

[jhendrix7911]

i like his voice and hes good at guitar....very unique

[Unclekreepy]

rofl tbh when i heard this shit on the radio i thought it was a girl singing also

[chewyclit11]

FUCK U if you think his voice is gay ur serious all a bunch of inmature pricks. its a good peice of music and its called a high voice doesnt mean your gay. Dicks.

[MisterGamer43]

Yeah- What this peeple said.

[moface9]

great piece of song writing. I always thought this was a girl singing... guess not!!!

[goldseal81]

saw them last night and it was frigging amazing... thanks for coming to canada!!!

[Alatar333]

the guitar playing does kind of suck... I love acoustic versions but he could definetely be more consistent. besides, the band messes up pretty bad live, just watch their performances on the tonight show and late show. still, my favorite song right now, awesome songwriting

[joeblane]

if the messing up yer talkin about is by the guitar player... well, look at sonic youth.

they mess up with style. i think this dude does it too. but if yer talking about like tempo and stuff, well, i wouldn't know much about that. <3lazyeye.

[mikesoss]

is it just me or does the voice not match the face? i'm all creeped out right now man.

[tomMIKOS]

eh, the recorded version is way better. this was weak.

[vams88]

wow

[goldseal81]

well done... pure talent

[DeepDishPeteza]

both this guy and kurt cobain are awful at guitar...i dont know what the hell you guys are talking about

[elcabrachupas]

I would like to see you play that song, not talking about if you like the song or not, the guitar he plays is not bad at all.

[DeepDishPeteza]

you think that i couldnt play that song? that song is easy as fuck and he sucks, hes so inconsistant with hitting the open strings and shit, and a lot of the open strings he hits dont harmonize with the other notes hes playin

[grungymole]

ok so hes not fuckin jimmy page...

but he's creative

he's got a good vibe goin,

some cool melodies,

and that takes alot more talent than sitting in your room all day memorizing scales and chords and stuff.

[somethinnotbeentaken]

hes not awful at the guitar

[rapidmysteriousbunny]

THIS IS THE BOMB

[mcrdarkgirl]

i fucking love this song <3

[elcabrachupas]

Chances.. god dude... what are you like 8?. Kurt Cobain is the one that took us out of the damn 80's puke music and created the Alternative wave. I guess JSJ90 mentioned , maybe it's cause he has long hair and plays guitar, they don't have anything alike, but this guy is a good guitarist as well.

[derrek92]

i love how he sounds better live than on the actuial song. goes to show not all bands are full synthed

[JSJ90]

I'm sick of people comparing someone who is a complete opposite of Kurt Cobain to Kurt Cobain. They are both great guitarists and singers and all that but they are completely different, people think they can just compare them because they both have long hair and play the guitar.

[CyanideMasquerade]

God, he's amazing live!

[thepiz20]

i would not at all be opposed to shagging this man

[maximulus69]

he plays good guitar, just like KURT cobain

[Vdrunkard]

KURT cobain would totally support this bands originality, i just hope this guy doesnt kill himself....

[goldseal81]

that shit is was off the wall.. amazing performance..

[swhites023]

how in the fuck is this guy a bad guitar player?? none of you fuckers could pull off the shit hes playin

[Trivium524]

this sounds fuckin awsome

[DeepDishPeteza]

i agree with you crazy4, this guy is not a good guitar player at all, its a cool riff and a good song, but if this band wants to be worth a dime live this guy has to get better

[cingalls1]

Excellence

[InfiniteGnam]

and i really love you

[bmxxxxxxxx]

He performed this well, 1 guitar, no help. great performance, I didnt relaly like them at first but this was awesome.

[jennifernguyen22000]

every version sounds different

[crazy4coheed]

i dont care what he did to it, it sounds awful and the guy isnt a polished guitar player, everytime ive seen him live he hits the open4th string with the main rifts and its two sounds u dont want to mix...and he mixes them quite often. cool song though

[phelius]

what do you want to bet that he doesnt want to categorized as a "well-polished" guitar player? his style is off the hook. he just proved that you dont have to be a James Taylor to entertain people.

[crazy4coheed]

when his job his to play guitar and entertain, he better be polished i wasnt tellin u that every person that plays guitar should be crazy awesome but when its his job to entertain, its a waste of money to go to one of their venues. and frankly if the bassiest joined him it would have been worse cus shes soooo awful and she cant sing worth anything. but dont get me wrong, i like the song.

[phelius]

personally, i thought he was trying too hard to make it sound like the studio version.

kirk cobain sucked at guitar... and look how many albums he sold.

[crazy4coheed]

this didnt have anything to do with how popular or how mayn records a band sells. look at fallout boy, i hate them but alot of people like them. and besides that, this badn is only on their second album, theyy have time to get better

[ChancesThrown]

who the fuck is kirk cobain?

[phelius]

see! i'm so sick of hearing his music that i have forgot how to spell his name. dont be a spell check nazi

[CyanideMasquerade]

Kurt Cobain was the lead singer of the '90s grunge band, Nirvana. Their stuff was always good.

[joeblane]

coheed is garbage. what are your feelings on jimi hendrix? he's a sloppy guitar player, but he rocked. the beatles often recorded songs for their albums with their guitars out of tune, and their harmonies off key. so what are you talkin about guy?

[crazy4coheed]

hendrix was tripping over god knows what but he had crazy distortion no one had ehard before so it sounded awesome. i personally cant listen to hendrix for more more then 5 min. im not gonna jump on the hendrix is god wagon. as far as the beatles, i think musicians should be held to higher standards now because of advancements in recording and tuning. what floats ur guys boats but i was just commenting on his sloppy performance.

[InfiniteGnam]

i love yu

[enjoyyourroots]

this guys job is to play guitar, i'm pretty sure the guitar isnt a piece of crap? but i dont know..

[slanguage1]

raw one of a kind talent, the future looks bright with endless posibilities.

[crazy4coheed]

that guitars a piece of crap, sounds like a cheap fender, i think thats what it is

[SpikeMinoda]

Well, it's a modernized steel string with, what looks like an electric guitar's head and a hand-laid finish. Not sure how that affects your opinion, but I think that's freakin' sweet. And the fact that he's playing it and playing it nicely, it makes it a pretty good guitar.

[hetchiX]

cool! nice song :D

[hetchiX]

cool! nice song :D

[ylime947]

love this

[jakep34]

damn... that voice

[bullet2291]

i have the same guitiar cool

[rkpetersen]

I just really love both Brian's songwriting and his singing.

[Lugak14]

Brian's a really cool guy. I met him after a show in SF Christopher gave me his sticks

[fraklinthedog]

same i got chris's sticks too he was so tight about it. i just wanted the sticks but he signed them for me! he reallly beat the crap out of them

[creightonballa26]

I love how his voice breaks up, and sounds like he can't even sing it. I know he's trying, and I know he means for it to sound like this, and it's awesome!

[Saadles]

Awesome!!!

[tharshizzle]

i was listening on this live i like how he said that the silver sun pickups cant stand each other

[DrHomeboy]

I love them!

[knivesout33]

Awesome!
