The Gaslight Anthem - Boxer (Bonnaroo 2010)

[wkdstepmother]

just the best band to come through for decades!!!!

[xlusciouslove]

HOW ARE PEOPLE NOT GOING CRAZY?!!

[MrAce7x]

bonaroo crowds suck dick

[ArneRydell]

the audience is awfull!!! just stands there...

[dxwoodwardx]

Amazing song

[DrHatiffnat]

Oh, Brian's voice!!!! Love this song! 

[TheChewy7]

the guitar flows so nicely, especially in the chorus. this band is magnificent

[gaslightrocks89]

This is my favourite band!!!!!!!!!!

[trebor8393]

cant help thinkin he could rit sum realy dark songs if he went proper jony cash, off the rails

[phaseaffectionmusic]

Listen to Viktor Olsson - When we were young, here on youtube!

[MinusTheDinosaur]

I like how IanPerkins is just gawping at Alex Levine on the right hand side of the stage :D

[hermesthegod1]

I typically hate listening to live bands-when one only listens to the studio edited CD's, live music doesn't sound that great. I say these guys are an exception

[TheLupenTooth]

yeah, I was there... best time of my life

[kullervo92]

F***in AWESOME!

[theandrewwebster]

I feel like Brian had better tone with the tele

[kapnzach]

@theandrewwebster Same. Some of the sounds he gets on Sink Or Swim are outrageous. Like the last part of Angry Johnny, when he is playing those open chords. Holy shit.

[Kevbot32]

AHHHHH THEY ARE SO AWESOME!!

[ohsnap1981]

When I listen to the radio, I imagine most top 40 songs as having their lyrics written in crayon.

When I listen to Gaslight Anthem, I imagine their lyrics being written in blood dabbed from a split lip.

[emthedrummer]

I wish I'd been there! All people going on about it being hot - it could be like thirty degrees and I'd still rock out till I passed out!

Tbf though, I live in England, I'm never gonna go to a festival where it's actually warm.

[MrGAKBAG]

@emthedrummer But your weather is still better than Chicago, where it could snow in summer then be 100 degrees the next day.

[emthedrummer]

@MrGAKBAG Do you use Farenheit or something, 'cause if not, mind blown.

[hurleyskateava]

@MrGAKBAG It wont snow in Chicago in the summer and be 100 degrees the next day. sorry.

[Hondarider464]

saw them with rise against two of my favorites rise against being number 1 and these guys a close second it was epic

[ad4229]

TOMMMMYYYY GUN! XD

[BeerInFocus]

Gotta love a good rock song about a boxer. I love this band.

[Dezpin234]

I don't know Brian Fallon but he is my best friend.

[emthedrummer]

@Dezpin234 Me too! He gives me advice, brings me up when I'm down... plus wears the coolest hats.

[Neeebla]

Such an amazing band, Its not hard to see why they have developed a cult-like following!

[JimJ123]

Love all the little hand gestures and facial expression that Brian does as he sings.

[maxthoburn]

i think i'd go gay for Brian Fallon

[raq757uplayer]

lame crowd :P

[lainabelle64]

Brian Fallon is a sexy young man!!!

[bamandknoxville]

this is the first and only band that lets their lead guitarist play a guitar solo basically throught the whole song!! best band ever created!!

[YouthEnergy]

I found this gem in this big, corporate pile of ash in 2009. Never will I stop listening to these guys.

[emthedrummer]

@isalandborg24 It doesn't matter what they look like, and don't be cheap. Buy the album.

[emthedrummer]

@isalandborg24 It doesn't matter what they look like, and don't be cheap. Buy the album.

[mostarac347]

@isalandborg24 fallon is ugly, lol. I'm like straight but think he looks fkin awesome....but u know, different tastes....

[superljboy3]

@isalandborg24 get real man, who the fuck cares if they look like ass. their music don't lie

[Biscan100]

@superljboy3 Too right even though he isn't ugly. I wish I looked like Brian Fallon.

[Madsmommy98]

I can't enough these guys !!!! They are truly something special & yes they are gonna save Rock n roll :)

[mclovin411]

these are real people from jersey. not that fake, mtv, jersey shore scum

[Emericanidiot120]

@mclovin411 As a fellow lad from Jersey it makes me happy to know others out there realize theres so much more to the Garden State than what MTV portrays us as. And for that my friend I thank you!

[acaash]

SHIT TUNE THAT GUITAR

[MrGentner]

Holy fuck. I saw them in a basement two years ago.

[ForDoverUSA]

@MrGentner

yep, those always wind up being the best bands! Ha, I thought I was the only one that said holy fuck! That's awesome.

[ForDoverUSA]

Wish i were there right now.

[fizzygillespie]

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the saviors of rock and roll.

[dougie906]

@fizzygillespie Bruce springsteen saved it when he started his career now it´s brad in his guys turn to do it!! ;)

[jukeboxromeo100]

@dougie906 you mean brian, right?!



[dougie906]

@jukeboxromeo100 Ye ofcourde stoped thinking there for a moment!

[saintjack007]

Fuckin quality band this is proper music sick of all the shite indie bands we get these days

[irt3hsaint]

@saintjack007 Like who?

Not trying to start a fight, genuinely curious.

[saintjack007]

@irt3hsaint to name a few bombay bicycle club, chapel club, egyptian hip hop, everything everything

[L33Tspartan]

@saintjack007 bombay bicycle club is pretty shit i'll admit. i think its only going to get more common as hipsterdom slowly goes mainstream but im not that worried i think good music will continue to be made as long as there are people that discern and care about it

[DreamBind]

!!!Holy mother of tinny Jesus!!!!!

[andrewniwdog]

people always ask me "who's your favorite band?" "Too many to name," I said for years. But now I just smile and say "The Gaslight Anthem, hands down."

[Chrazzari]

@andrewniwdog

Damn Strait exactly the same as you.

[andrewniwdog]

@Chrazzari hell yeah man

[littlefurballs]

@andrewniwdog same here :)

[dcdude171]

@andrewniwdog haha same man

[NeigborhoodMoose13]

@andrewniwdog exactly the same as me!!!! lol

[EpicNoMore]

@andrewniwdog I personally have 3. I have tattoos for 2 of them. 1 is Tool the other is the Red Hot Chili Peppers the next tattoo I get will be a sleeve to symbolise the Gaslight Anthem and all of their amazing awesome epicness.

[EilidhThePidgeon]

These guys must be the happiest punk-rock band ever. I love the way Brian smiles when he sings.

[paddymanchris]

It's crazy how opposite these guys are from most of the other tools in Punk/Rock music these days. Keep it up Gaslight.

[tbimat]

I have that hat.

[MachMalWas]

@tbimat me too! Brixton FTW!

[trippettaa]

I don't know what it is about the sound of their music, but i can't stop listening to it! And now im spoiled, nothing even comes close to sounding this good to me anymore.

[spork1333]

i literally cant stop myself from listening to them(not that i would want to) seriously since august 1st 2009 when i first saw them live and began listening to them i have never even stopped a little they have always been right up there on what i listen to most. cant say enough about these guys. so raw and real you know?

[LiberTBo]

Gaslight Anthem is an all American answer to the British invasion of the new millineum,

these guys are a force of nature, much like Springsteen.......

[yeowrock]

great bass!xD

great band also!

[chloevideoprut]

You can see he's having fun.. Love it!

[1234LETStartAwar]

Amazing song it's so mellow and lax while still rockin

[UTF]

Great performances. Unfortunately, American Slang isn't as strong of a record like '59 Sound or Sink or Swim in my opinion. These guys are an amazing live band, saw them last year.

[Ltjrevival]

@UTF I think 59 sound had better singles but american slang flows better so they are about equal. sink or swim is good but they wern't nearly as strong of songwriters even if their sound was harder

[julia17long]

0 dislikes!

[Bj1066]

they already made this song...59 sound or something like that

[moriganstarr]

If you are not a fan of Gas Light Anthem this will change your mind. One of the best bands on the face of the earth! They always make me smile and lift my spirits, Love them!!

[1234LETStartAwar]

i went to a party and the only bands playing where gaslight and the greatful dead i can say that was the best party ever

[shityeahbmx]

a lot crosses my mind when i hear you guys play, from old steel mills to coal mines and lonelt sulfer rivers.. but one thing is for sure,the music you have given us couldn/t have hittin any closer to home..

[shityeahbmx]

a lot crosses my mind when i hear you guys tplay, from old steel mills to coal mines.. but one thing is for sure,the music you have given us couldn/t have hittin any closer to home..

[LunaOccurrence]

I like his band alot, but this is as much punk is ,as digable plantes is to gangsta rap........ todays youth don't know there butt from a whole in the ground... get off your backside and get some fresh air!

[TheHolundermann]

@joaoluizsn

How could Strummer had been a fan of a band wich was founded 4 years after his death?^^

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

why does everyone call them punk? as some old guy once said, it's still rock and roll to me.

[dxwoodwardx]

@WarGoatForestWolf666 Hell yeah, Billy Joel!

[Krakensince1995]

saw them in NYC the day after my bday

[Timmey17]

Definitely one of the great bands of ou generation...

[drummerdude696969]

Was this show in canton, oh? Everybody's just standin around?

[cichlids8]

these guys might be too Punk for thier own good. Sounds Good. Great band!!

[BassistBill1988]

Man, a couple years back I was laying in bed with too much on my mind to fall asleep, so I grabbed my iPod on shuffle and these guys came up- might've been Drive off Sink or Swim- and with the dark room and all my thinking coinciding with their sound I got chills. Out of nowhere, they exploded from a slight interest to my favorite band, and ever since I've been playing all of their stuff nonstop. It never gets old. Their stuff is 5/5 stars all around.

[aldohodgkinson]

He took it all gracefully on the chin

Knowing that the beatings had to someday end

He found the bandages inside the pen

And the stitches on the radio

There was something, baby, holding you down

And there were whispers that were driving you crazy

And now you hunt the heart of this town

Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

[ja77164]

One of the best songs on American Slang. The BEST band......EVER!!!!!

[CriticsConfession]

Saw them tonight...such a great show. Nearly cried to death when this one came on.

[Coffeeaddict3]

Uh, anywhere I can find this song on youtube that isn't live?

[3Megzz]

Brian Fallon really is god..

[meyy33]

i saw them a month tomorrow and i'm going too see them again 24th october! can't wait

[coopedup13]

love gaslight, hate when the crowd has to be split in half like that

[shinkicker79]

August 5th at the Stone Pony!

[BrianFallonforPres]

@shinkicker79 see ya there!!!

[CriticsConfession]

@shinkicker79 I just got back...what a show...

[dog712]

fucking luv them every song is a story and full of lyrics awesome

[zalmorn]

Can't Wait to see these guys in August!

[lottytottyxx]

this is the best song to come out in years!!



[89spg]

Can't wait to see this live! Chuck Ragan and Brian Fallon are doing and album together should be sick!

[anjustice83]

These guys make me love punk rock again! Brian's voice reminds me a lot of Springsteen with maybe a little Chuck Ragan?...just can't miss the emotion and sincerity!! One of the few bands out there right now that I'm happy to pay to see!

[messihenry1419]

his looks dont match his voice...maybe if he switched voices with the guy from silversun pickups? i know im gonna get roasted for this lol but i gotta point it out

[Happyking43]

i got tickets to see Gaslight Anthem and Weezer for September 1st. I'm so excited!

[doghousehobo]

When I read all these comments about which record is the best, I just can't decide. They're all great, every LP and the EP, it just depends what I wanna hear, I listen to American Slang a lot these days, of course. But when I wanna hear their raw punk, I listen to Sink or Swim and when it's autumn and everyone is in a bit of a melancholic mood, I'd listen to the '59 Sound. These guys are one of the best out there and I'll see them in a couple of days in Belgium!

[TheCall0fTheWildest]

@doghousehobo Exactly. I love all their albums and the EP, but I hear each one of them depending on my humour. If I am mad or just want to hear something intense, Sink Or Swim. If I am either really happy or melancholic, as you said, The '59 Sound. American Slang makes me feel nostalgic, but at the same time hopefull in a great future. Favorite band, for sure.

[daveymagnum]

i dig the new album. i dkn how this crowd stands still. whatever happened to some good old fashion moshing? dance or do something, damn. lol.

[dizzypunk]

@daveymagnum it was so hot there, you could tell a lotta people were dying in the heat.

[daveymagnum]

@dizzypunk eh. reguardless, i've been to warped tours (back when they were awesome) and would mosh in 90 degree and humid as fuck weather. i dkn, when i hear music i love i just cant stay still, no matter how hot or uncomfortable the weather is. maybe its just me though.

[Otherien]

@daveymagnum 90 degrees? hot? you from Alaska?

[justRUNalex]

Am I the only one who thinks Brian is REALLY FUCKING HOT!?

[shmalpie]

@justRUNalex No, I find him quite attractive as well. Actually, I think they're all cute. But I would still listen to them even if they were hideous because their music is absolutely phenomenal.

[EssoSteve]

@justRUNalex  oh he is!. I have got a man crush on him.

[creamywaffles]

@EssoSteve I knew I wasnt the only one

[xkbix]

@justRUNalex Nope, you're certainly not.

[TheCall0fTheWildest]

@justRUNalex Certainly not. I find him very atractive as well. I have to admit I have a crush on him. Plus he looks amazingly good, in any way, with beard or without.

[xkbix]

Probably one of the best songs ever written. And one of the very best bands around at the moment. Love them to bits. Btw, killer look at 0:35 ;)

[TheCall0fTheWildest]

@xkbix Killer, indeed.

[Zelinskas9]

Its been far too long since punk (and rock in general) has had this much heart and soul. Thank God these boys came along. Best band today if you ask me.

[MyMiserableLife]

@Zelinskas9 i agree with this comment 100 percent. well said friend.

[MyMiserableLife]

@Zelinskas9 i agree with this comment 100 percent. well said friend.



[musicchick85]

@Zelinskas9 agreed!

[LunaOccurrence]

@Zelinskas9 If this is punk! Then punk is long dead!

[sjorourke]

@Zelinskas9 agreed, well said my friend.

[Biscan100]

@Zelinskas9 Without a doubt. They're on another level.

[thepunkfish109]

Not to be shallow, but I'm really digging Brian's t-shirt, haha. Maybe just 'cause he's wearing it, I dunno. Still want one.

[cpsstyle]

the '59 was amazing, and american slang is very cool as well! my favourite band!

[Krojd2]

@cpsstyle Man, and what about Sink or Swim? And Señor and the queen EP?...Say I Won't (Recognize) and Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts are amazing songs, just amazing. Love GA

[cpsstyle]

@Krojd2 for sure sink or swim is great too, but my favourite album is definitely the '59 sound!

[omfern]

@cpsstyle Sink or Swim was incredible, 59' sound was amazingly perfect, and American Slang is just awesome

[SilentEcho33]

@cpsstyle what about Sink or Swim?
