Gogol Bordello on Jimmy Kimmel Live March 22, 2006

[Surfbat45]

a 720p version would be awesome

[badrel21]

ÁAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!! MAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[operationmongoose1]

I am just not feeling this bands music or it's performance art vibe. I can see how people might like this and I am not completely knocking it but this does not grab me at all.

[JustBrianMusic]

i could go without the dancing girls.. i think they make it seem over produced sometimes. but this band is fucking awesome.

[bigun1999999]

girl at 3:40 ruins it

[emakrox]

it's like watching a goddamn circus! so cool!!!

[so1ange]

Crap video, but better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick! GB always delivers, I am forced to listen to crud at work, britney, rhianna, fireflies?, lady gaga, cold play, keane, on and on, with that voice synth stuff, venga boys, 2 unlimited, rick astley... This is the band that gets me out of the slur at the end of the day. I love Gogol Bordello!

[Surfbat45]

this is the best video quality you could come up with?

[Dazanin1]

Good god, I LOVE watching them perform. It's fucking crazy, but they do an awesome job combining putting on a real show with the great music.

[TtheRecluse]

feeeeeck!!!!!!!!!!!

[lovetulis999]

i miss themmmmm!!!! and the after partys with them rock!!!! i hope they will come again

[stupidtrio123]

where is Eugene from?

[skafritz]

Ukrajina

[stupidtrio123]

wow...never wouldve guessed ha

is that in eastern europe?

[rhcpflea92]

@stupidtrio123 ukraine

[VHShit]

I just saw these guys in Spokane WA. I made some videos. It was a super fun show and I would love to see em again!

[rach6st]

OH MY GOD!!! this is so great I cant belive it.

[casperado666]

this is chaotic and hilarios. Love this dude!

[matteosouchet]

is there more creative in the punk scene of today?

[Davychase89]

After the man show, people have no need to see Jimmy Kimmel ever again. Your a queer jimmy. Sara Silverman sucks to.

[MangH0]

Holy shit

[sector7tv]

goddamit kimmel ukainian not russian.... ignorant american prick

[AkBeringer7]

for one, hes listing off the multi-cultural band members, and some are russian. see the front man prancing around on the stage wearing russian colors? and im sure theres a dress rehearsal of the show or something so they can get the information right and correct mistakes if they were mistakes. and just because a band uses the name of a ukrainian born russian, doesnt mean they are ukrainian. you are the ignorant prick.

[meshugga2112]

I agree with your comment, but he's clearly wearing the colors of the UK. If you notice GB on the front. Great Britain, hmmmn

[AkBeringer7]

lol thats what i meant, britain colors and other ppl are russian.

[justinkinstle]

yes, but the GB could have a double meaning, Gogol Bordello for instance. Hmmmm... Perhaps it is because of the Russian colors and the band's initials? Just a shot in the dark.

[edhobson13]

the lead mans ukranian.. hes just a badass... he eats fictnoal characters like is his job

[firedoor24lips]

maybe he just likes the shirt....... just a thought. reminds me of a line from a Ani Difranco song "what I'm wearing the day some one takes my picture is my new statement for all of (wo)mankind."

[firedoor24lips]

maybe he just likes the shirt??? just a thought... Reminds me of an Ani Difranco song "Whatever I'm wearing the day that someone takes my picture is my new statement for all (man) kind"

[SaviorThree]

He has described the band as 'authentic immigrant music', because it is not like any traditional music, but instead a blend of ideas from many countries' music and culture. I think Britain is like that- another country he feels influenced by.

[rhcpflea92]

@AkBeringer7 russian born ukrainian. nikolai gogol smuggled ukrainian culture into russia. just like gogol bordello hopes to smuggle eastern culture into the western world. get your facts straight.

[AkBeringer7]

i know what nikolai gogol did in the east and i know what gogol bordello wants to do. I have my facts straight.

[fadedgabe]

you didnt even spell it right moron

[sector7tv]

oh I missed an "r", I'm ever so sorry... please forgive young sir!!!

[ButtPoopWiggle]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Those girls are the SHIT, along with everybody else on stage.

Hahaha, fuck Coors Light.

[Shaneocs]

gay

[mannwhosoldtheworld]

Why yes, yes you are.

[rudebaked]

agree, you are gay indeed

[ZapataTheMute]

yep you seem pretty gay i also agree with the statement written.

[JakeyHards]

yes you are, if you want cock, go elsewhere, faggy claus

[thefuckheadsgalore]

This performance is really sexy. <3

[dougcapehart]

If I could know what I know now, I would wanna be young again. If I couldn't know what I know now, forget it. The only thing I regret is not taking better care of my teeth.

[SystemError1983]

arrrrhhhhh... had me screaming at the top of my lungs. go and buy this album

[imthatkid752]

amazing

[1ian1]

OMFG they're so awesome...

[YouSurfer]

I was there. I don't think it is possible, on video, to communicate *just* how much energy this group has.

But one reviewer on Amazon did a good job: "If you want a near approximation of `Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike', you will need: an album of Ukrainian Folk music (try the library, but Romanian or Hungarian may suffice), a NOFX album (preferably scratched, so it skips and jumps), any episode of Ren and Stimpy ("Fire Dogs" should do just fine). Then, basically, play `em all at once."

[jerumaria]

know what you mean, ive been to 2 of their shows, in the mosh both times and after only about 3 hours i looked like id been through hell (couldnt hear, voice gone, soaking wet, legs and arms covered in bruises) but they are seriously the best time you will ever have at a concert

[BackForCrack]

Man, I wish I went to one of their concerts while they were in St. Pete. In response to YouSurfer, the only thing that can convey their energy is cocaine.

[succiman]

i agree the band is definately on something but whatever it is i want it cause i saw them in chicago for lollapalooza before i heard opf them and they were crazy and then the day after i saw rage against the machine and after that i couldnt move after being in both band mosh pits..

[firedoor24lips]

I read a review somewhere that quoted Dan Patrick as saying You cant stop Gogol Bordello. You can only hope to contain them." I haven't got a fucking clue who Dan Patrick is but he was right on the money!

[edscfa]

Pure positive over negitive energy. Somthing us Americans could never relate to. Have you ever heard your mother scream like that in a time of war. I would never wanna be young again also. Viva America...

[nolanpotter1]

Looks like a Gypsy Rave on stage!

[Seyhawk]

Oh hell yes! I just bought tickets for one of their shows next month. I'm not sure I've ever been this excited.

[carlos28945]

these guys rock! pure positve energy!

[UxxyWuxxy]

I've seen them live twice now, and they've been absolutely incredible both times.

[YourGodIsntReal]

If you think that was crazy go see them live. It's pure insanity. The singer has a tendency to get down into the audience and sing from the mosh pit. And it just gets better from there.

[alexgr69]

PURE ENERGY! ROCK ON!

[Meganrivers]

Republican, Democrat, same shit different pile. How can you even say such a horrible thing?? I don't believe in your type of totalitarian bullshit. There are bad people EVERYWHERE, it doesn't just adhere to one race.

[ShaneF49]

neat

[gahuidiot]

This is a total mindfuck.

[downwardlullaby]

That fiddler is a fucking tank.

[carollrar]

wish i could catch them live, they've got so much electricity!

[captainskidmark74]

6th...callatrrre you are a bastard and ignorant! way to get political on youtube....

[Hilikus3434]

this is probably the craziest band.

[888andsoitis888]

ahhh thisss is sooo crazzyy!! :D

[callatrrre]

u stupid americans think u know everything bcause u saw oprah yesterday... and u r heros bcause u cause stupid wars, saying it is to hunt terrorists, trying to be the cops of the world... but u r so ignorant, in ur hole called america, and u dont know anything about the rest of the world... u just know about guns and violence, and thats why ur starting to be just shity lazy obese stupid guys, which are loosing terrain to china!!!

[godamnit1111]

hey man fuck you. You're one to talk about ignorant and being stupid, you can't even spell.

[ObscurCadavre]

So what if he cannot spell?

1. He is right, America is trying to run the world, and failing badly.

2. Why write to him? It dignifies his opinion as worth something, true or not.

[godamnit1111]

Sorry for having a little pride in my country. im not just going to sit back and watch foreign bastards talk shit about it

[ObscurCadavre]

So you think America is doing everythig perfectly? Let me give you some news; American armed forces in Iraq have caused 90% of all civillian deaths.

Good? I think not.

[godamnit1111]

i never said were doing everything perfectly. It's sort of like, not all Iraqi people are terrorists, Not all American people are George Bush's. most of the decisions actions made by our government, dont necessarily represent the peoples beliefs and thoughts on the war.

[ObscurCadavre]

No, but you are not really doing anything about it are you? Also, The Allies invaded Iraq because of Saddam Hussien, not terrorism.

[godamnit1111]

im not some big government official or anything, theres nothing i can personally do to fix everything. if i could end the war i would

[callatrrre]

1st: don´t call me ignorant. i didn´t have too much time to write. Furthermore, english isn´t my official language, i´m portuguese... are you happy now with my spelling?

2nd: You americans agreed with war, since the moment you reelected Bush... I wont say you are all equal, but the majorirty of you elected Bush...

3rd: Almost nobody does nothing to stop the war, because the majority thinks like you.

and dont call me bastard again ok?

[drumink113]

5th: This video has nothing to do with politics or war, so stop talking about it here.

[KeyWestJecket]

It wouldn't matter if Portugal "agreed with war" or not, your country is completely obsolete in regards to global politics, you just benefit from the stability granted to you by the major world power (America)and you make snide comments on youtube. Quit hating on America because we are the torchbearers of society.

[callatrrre]

As a single country, yes, we don't have diplomatic power, but you forget the fact that we are part of european union, and that changes the facts quite a lot.

Stability? Ha!

What do you mean by stability? The Iraq War?

the Afghanistan War? The "war on terrorism"? the climbing of the oil's price? The recent financial crisis?

Please, stop assuming that you are the world's tutors. As a superpower, you just exploited it lots of times, but your empire is about to fall. Just ask china...

[KeyWestJecket]

yeah, you and the EU would be a lot better off with China as the worlds superpower, right? They would never exploit the world, right? You should thank god everyday that a democratic-open minded country with the most advanced form of government in the history of man is running the show. Are you familiar with our constitution? It grants rights to everybody. But maybe you would prefer nazi's or communists?

[callatrrre]

I never said I prefer China or those ideologies. But let me correct some points:

"most advanced form of government..."? That was back into the 18th century. Your democracy limits itself to 2 parties. There exists better now.

"running the show..."? Sorry to disapoint you, you're loosing strenghts, now China and EU impose themselves and face US.

And you ask if I'm familiar with your constitution: it was based in european ideas that also rule europe, so you also have no advantages there.

[KeyWestJecket]

ok fair enough, i love Europe don't get me wrong,but America is awesome too(the next 8 years will be a lot better with Obama in charge) and people should not verbally shit on the US every chance they get. I've never been o Portugal, i'm sure its a great place.

[callatrrre]

well, obama surely means hope for all the world. but you must understand that US had been creating conflicts everywhere during these last years, it is normal that the anti-american feeling grows up.

oh, and portugal, yeah it's nice, but in terms of economy and productivity it is pretty shity too... :P

[alexb12345]

in the words of John Olive, "America has taken the baton of imperialism and is running with it quite impressively." i'm an american, and even i'm disgusted with how much and how often america imposes its views and values upon every other country it can. i couldn't agree with you more.

[1ian1]

The constitution doesnt give us right. We are all born with rights. If you think about it, the constitution is actaully limiting our rights. We dont need a fucking piece of paper that says what we can and cant do, and I hate people who think otherwise.

[ZapataTheMute]

We need the piece of paper to remind people what their rights are and to remind people in power of what they can and can not do.

[DonnaCat42]

And you seem to think you know everything about Americans. We are as diverse a group of individuals as anywhere else in the world. Don't confuse our (presently misguided) government for our people. In the end, we're just like the rest of you - just trying to get through our day. We just do it at a higher level of comfort than most of the rest of the world, that's all.

[lawlersauces]

GYPSY PUNK IS THE SHIT!

[formysoulmate]

They're at Reading Festival this year, can not wait to see them they are INCREDIBLE!

[mulh3r3n]

America rules you fucking commy piece of shit

[theonlytruepunk]

It's spelled "commie", Mr. Intelligence. Your comment really captivates me and definitely inspires me to support abortion. Ignorance is back by popular demand.

[DimebagCake]

I would no longer call you a twat if I randomly saw your name.

[wojtasbp]

That guy sais that GB are russians ?! Is he sick ?!

They are Ukrainians ! Stupit american nation - for you almost East Europe is russian ?! Do you even know where is Europe ?! Hehe

[miaow777]

Ha ha all Americans are retards.I guess that's why you live in poverty while we stupid Americans can read, live without censorship, and have access to JOBS that pay over $.08 an hour, asshole.

[sharomyga]

Well, actually he said ukaranian singer, russian guitar player, russian fiddler and so on.

[sharomyga]

Oops, israelian guitar player ;-)

[tinyelvisproductions]

Actually, he did mention Eugene being Ukranian, but a good portion of the band is Russian...

Eugene Hütz (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Percussion, Fire bucket)-Ukraine

Sergey Ryabtsev (Violin)-Russia

Yuri Lemeshev (Accordion)-Russia

Oren Kaplan (Guitar)-Israel

Thomas Gobena (Bass)-Ethiopia

Eliot Ferguson (Drums)--Florida, USA

Pamela Jintana Racine (Percussion, Dance)-Thai-American

Elizabeth Sun (Percussion)-Chinese Scottish

[nader112389]

[hilikus293]

[TJHKNIGHT]

[nader112389]

[nader112389]
