Brand New - Play Crack the Sky Song NYC Show

[flywest26]

You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs.

[HiDantheBear]

what guitar is that?

[LPRory]

@HiDantheBear

Its a Gibson..some kind of Barney Kessel signature, they were made in the 60s, still get made once in a while

[rageage5fifteen]

That is one beautiful guitar.

[e1kie]

16 people fought for too long

[e1kie]

@peniletouch your legendary! I would do that also. They are too underrated and more people need to know about them. dont like brand new you dont like me and I dont like you

[mikejoemarrs]

@peniletouch See, I agree with you, but I can't say I love Brand New more than pussy. But damn is it a release, it helps in the absence of.

[yourjustamemory]

I love this song <3 I want to see them live soo bad :((

[brandnewwine]

thats one of those crazy guitars they used in the Jesus video...I want so badly to know what kind they are. they're like trini lopez rickenbacker crosses or something

[jesseonfire5]

This ain't the Dakota, the waters so cold.

[1994rest]

@peniletouch You could say *puts on sunglasses* you abandoned ship.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH­HHHHHHH

[peniletouch]

@1994rest LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

[LesPaulSmIth92]

@peniletouch AMEN BROTHER! Any girl doesn't like Brand New, and says so on first date... That's game over

[Bassist926]

@peniletouch You sir are my hero

[travisEmalone]

@peniletouch its ironic cause i had sex to my girlfriend during this song! haha jk man. i would do the same thing you did.

[WherethisAllStarted]

@peniletouch :bowing: down to a man with real nuts.

[psyco4lp]

This is the first song i taught myself on the guitar...with a little help from my friend Kara. I luv Brand New!

[ResEv4]

@peniletouch thats epic

[ResEv4]

@peniletouch

[thecomfortisnow]

@peniletouch i would have not even taken her to dinner..screw that.....how dare she disrespect BN.

[simensays]

@peniletouch One Hundred and Twenty-nine people agree with your retardation. lol jk

[midairman]

@peniletouch Respect. You did the right thing.

[tjdohner]

what an ugly guitar

[TheradiomanofYT]

@peniletouch brand new is under rated if anything

[onestepdown54]

@TheradiomanofYT agreed

[karabou2012]

I really appreciate the fact that he sounds the same live as he does on the album. Nothing annoys me more than to hear an artist live and finding out that their voices were modified to sound better.

[QBurt0EesCewl]

You guys're dumb. Shut the eff up and listen to the stupid music video.

[TheWinterShoreline]

Jesse's raw emotion and purely perfect lyrics inspire me.

In fact, so much that I made an attempt at a cover,

that's up on this site, but never could it match this guy. XD

[peniletouch]

Wow, +100 thumbs up to my sad love life. Hahahaha <3

[Airquad19]

I never said i liked the Counting Crows.Stupid ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What a waste of time you are.Ryblow

[aphotothesizeofakiss]

@peniletouch you are my hero, end of

[rybo1977]

Counting Crows? Airquad19, To even mention something as shitty as Counting Crows in a Brand New video post, is like drinking Popov Vodka in a Kettle One Distillery. It's just bad taste. The only thing worse than Adam whatever, is your lame comparison and opinion. Next time, stick to something you know. Like sports, or starting a Nickelback fan club. If douchebags and retards ruled the world, then you would be queen....

[thricegod1288]

this is my favorite brand new song to date

[thricegod1288]

@peniletouch cool story bro

[peniletouch]

@thricegod1288 lrn2properlyciteitascoolstoryb­ro.jpg

Newfag gtfo.

[joshislike3]

@peniletouch dude! what a jerk, i don't know like any girl who would just diss someone like that..Brand new is amazing anyways XD

[Airquad19]

If this band means more to you then pussy??Your GAY.Seems like you let a smart girl get away.This band is SO overated They actually Suck Balls like you will be doing soon.Counting Crows already did this stuff 15 years ago.Sounds like a cheap rip off of the Crows singer Adam Duritz but MUCH WORSE.

[trentinium]

apparently , to all you people, music is just some sort of fucking thing that you think you can just critique, yet you cant write anything with meaning and emotion and power in it. rather than sit and criticize bands and music, how bout actually listening to it instead of using it as some sort of support for your pathetic egos.

[linkinzoolander]

@Airquad19 Counting Crows is an awful band.

die.

[FatherCthulu]

@Airquad19 Your grammar is bad, but no one is pointing it out because you were probably the kid in the back of the class with the helmet on.

[WherethisAllStarted]

@Airquad19 Nobody cares bout your opinion. Go listen to Counting Crows, and please remind me when anyone gives 2 shits.

Please just leave. Your brain is probably to small to comprehend such a great band.

[shizzle31]

@peniletouch you never talked to her again...but you went on a couple dates with her...hmm ok

[peniletouch]

@shizzle31 Implying the last date we went on, was the day she insulted brand new.

Lrn2readparagraphscorrectly.

[johhnalexander]

@peniletouch I love you man! I almost just fell on the floor laughing. Brand New is superior to all women.

[HunterLAL]

I hate when fans sing along, i go there to listen to Brand New not a bunch of preteen retards try to sing.

[cweezy928]

@HunterLAL i herd no preteen retards........ but if you go to listen to bran new and not people singing along you must not go to a lot of shows, because its always like that and its always great

[Headbanger0624]

@peniletouch dude the thing is that you don't respect her opinion and she doesn't respect your choice of music,then you should have had a hardcore sex with her ;)

[BetterTasteThanU]

sux like a vaccum cleaner but useless

[IanFarnsworth]

Jesse Lacey of Brand New and Max Bemis of Say Anything are the lyricists of our generation. And of any generation haha

[krupkee]

This song changed my life in ways words cant describe.

[95FunkyGiirl]

Brand New write the best lyrics ever, thats why i love them, jesse's voice is amazing., they're so emotional. x3

[NickelbackSucks420]

peniletouch, you're the shit! fuck that girl, if she don't like Brand New, she doesn't have a soul! I would have done the same thing. She could hate anything, but hate Brand New? Wow I woulda played only Brand New the whole car ride and ignored her requests, that bitch! She might be able to slide though if she was super hott! At least until I passed third base, then good riddens!

[dankavenger]

i would do the same thing, peniletouch

[Saxattack2012]

@peniletouch Thank you!!!!! Brand New are one of the most brilliant bands of all time... Lyrics are so deep and hit home in an almost uncomfortable way... which is WHY they are so brilliant... I LOVE this band!

[rjaafar]

DROP THAT BETCH

[danems6]

you just won the interwebz..

[sorrels89]

you broke up with someone because they didnt like brand new... LOL theyre great but good luck finding someone who likes everything you like kid. how old are you?

[peniletouch]

I'm 19. They can hate everything. From Guitar playing, to japanese made cars, to the middle eastern culture, and I'll still love them.

But hating brand new?

I'd rather marry a fucking rock.

[traighost]

@peniletouch good job bro, fuck her. I'm a straight up death metal head and I still love this band.

[PaulK92]

@traighost same here man

[Ciro88]

one of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard.

It always brings a shiver along my back...

[Nithian22]

wow. 4:00 to the end, amazing.

[riadenx88]

i love brand new, but doesn't that guitar look too big for him?

[tytygood]

No, it's a semi hollow body guitar, it's supposed to look big.

[moboss]

this song is too ridiculously well-written. just amazing. damn.

[jamesXXy2k]

i pretty much love him. i am a guy, but not gay. but i still idolize him in every way. the best band, lyrics, and fans. i hope i see them 10/1/09! I'll be the one spilling my heart out. XD

[cirooo27]

poetry*

[cirooo27]

these are the most amazing lyrics ever written. no band compares to brand new

[4578a]

So you didn't like Crack the sky. Doesn't surprise me if you like this shit. Most people don't want to hear the real thing anyway because it's so far away from their own comprehension. It's too much to think about. Go eat some fast food. Just for that i'm going to voice the hell out of my opinion. Crack the sky deserves that much.

[4578a]

John palumbo is a way better! He's the guy who sings and writes the lyrics for Crack the sky. No other band should have those words in their songs or band title. Do yourself a favour and don't reply until you've actually listened to them!

[NYR264]

just listened to crack the sky. never share ur opinion on music ever again. u got my hopes up but i shoulda been smarter, u cant get much better than brand new. but nice try.

[heather112485]

This is a great song. Can't wait to see 'em in concert.

[4578a]

Yes, i actually am serious because The band Crack the sky is fucking amazing, better than 90% of all rock music ever! If you don't know that you should stop listening to this crap and listen to the real thing. I tried to listen to the lyrics but they suck and so do you. You've been defeated.

[LOCALanaesthesia]

wow. you don't know what you're talking about. you are entitled to your own opinion; however, Jesse Lacey writes some of the best lyrics in rock music today.

[gcccx]

wow

[4578a]

Does this band have any relation to Crack the sky , the band. Or is this song about them or something. I'll tell you if they were playing here they would make this band look pretty silly.

[SoUndefeated]

Are you serious dude? Why would you think this song is about another band? Listen to the lyrics.

[cb25cb]

thsi isn't mastodon

[streetkarpftw]

hahahaha

[boxellmark27]

Why do people yell "woo" during this song? It really dopes ruin the atmosphere.

[sfranchise101]

daisy!

[Irishhhangel83]

what kind of guitar is that?

[richiestoner101]

Deluxe Gibson Trini Lopez, mate.

[chipchance]

Big.

[GlasgowLOON]

Anyone Know the chords ?

[vikinghair]

G, C, Em. different tuning than standard, though...

[Teej212]

Eb tuning, G Cadd9 C and Em

[metallicat7684]

g cadd9 em e7~verse

c g em e7 ~chorus

[allan118118]

Cut from the team?

[brandeeNew]

<3333333333

[marikathemurderess]

this is beautiful.

[thunder2falcon15]

some singers like to feel the energy of everyone singing it back to them but suit yourself, i can see where youre coming from.

[thunder2falcon15]

put yourself in jesse's shoes....would you rather have everyone just stand there? just think a little bit...

[TareBear317]

I love Brand New.

[Selustarius]

What kind of guitar is Jesse using?

[KieferBumby]

It's the Deluxe Version of the Gibson Trini Lopez Custom's they made back int 60's and 70's

[Selustarius]

Thank you!

[pwndbymcr]

haha. You sir are an idiot. first of all, if you are doing a song written by Brand New, then how can you possibly say it's better? Thats like a movie based on a book, its not nearly as good. and secondly, your old band sucks, so dont say shit about people more intelligent and more talented than you.

[breakingcharacter]

lksadjfldfhkkfy

[Supaduck0]

lmao, your a stupid fucking asshole

[bassist9069]

idiots thuis isnt mastodon the song is called play crack the sky.. mastodons new album will be epic as shit

[Supaduck0]

nice glasses jesse :P

[amygdelas]

Mastodon has softened up a lot. I miss Leviathan.

[angelofdeth616]

I agree they have really sold out with this one haha.

[XBillinatorX]

ya but the complexity went yp with blood mountain and leviathan is still alive in your cd player dont fret

[KieferBumby]

Your a dumb.

[SpikesProduction]

i spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.

[charleedee]

my favourate song from them T-T

[Vicious739]

By far my favorite song of theirs. Great songwriting. I love the way he weaves the metaphor through the song.

[rustandrepair]

jesse's guitar is so epic.

[Kallitkarma0211]

Perfect Live.

lacey is probably my hero!!

[Joyvinyl]

Never mind the most outstanding prog rock band Crack the Sky - I thought maybe this was one of their songs

[kwilton214]

how is the title misleading? that's the name of this song.

[degausser505]

well crack the skye is the name of the mastodon album coming out in 2009.

on a side note, does anyone know what type of guitar jesse is playing here? it looks like a rickenbacker of some sort...

[KieferBumby]

Deluxe Gibson Trini Lopez , not rickenbacker at all

[JIMMYguitar07]

yeah i was like OH CRACK THE SKYE SONG WOO and this faggot pops up i was like what the fuck is this?! dreams. painfully. crushed. =(

[bendrix7]

misleading title for all Mastodon fans...

[unearth91]

lmao, yes.

[bass1playa8]

It says Brand New, the name of this band...And then play crack the sky, the name of this song...How is this misleading?

[GreyEyedVampire]

Thats cool

They sound very different live.... But not in a bad way.....

[PrettyiinPunkx3]

does anyone know what venue this is at?

[spamforme]

Sin-e in the LES

[PrettyiinPunkx3]

thank you so much!

[NaleyandLeyton]

The ending is amazing.

[spacecowb07]

Amazing.

[callyshoddy]

this song is amazing, but i wish this band never grew up.

[jdawg221]

as in you dont like their new stuff? i think the fans sometimes have to mature with the band too

[callyshoddy]

i agree, but i don't have the patience for that.

[zewbag]

the new stuff is amazing

they keep getting better in my opinion

[jonessoda34]

yea i agree i beleive their new stuff is a lot better musicaly but i do love the their old stuff just as much

[kasra333]

i agree... Devil & God is my favorite album from them, 2nd is Deja, and then Your Favorite Weapon. So I guess I liked them more and more as they evolved.

Absolutely brilliant band though. Can't wait for the new album.

[goobenshlagen]

You should download the demo album - fight off your demons, I think it's better than d&g and favorite weapon, not quite up to deja though.

[reneeGHOUL]

such a pretty song.

[Oath721]

<33

[povs9]

are there any more songs with jesse playing this guitar? The only other one I could find was with The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot.

[yangado11]

The Seatbelt song

[arexthetrex]

O M G the ending is really good. it gets so intense lol.

Check my page out, i cover songs

[firetruckgreen]

why'd this get marked as spam?

[pearl182]

because some people are idiots, I think that the best guess.

[L0VExLiKExWiNTER]

the ending of this song is so beautiful

I wish I was at that show.

[rebryant66]

They have the best lyrics of any band I've ever heard.

[maxizzlefrizzle92]

yep. theyre definately #1

[i51423]

The guitar is a Gibson Johnny A sig. It's a hollowbody electric guitar.

[itsinhiseyes1]

nope, the Johnny A signature has a far smaller body and has the classic Gibson 3 tuners a side Headstock unlike this guitar's 6tuners on one side.

The guitar Jesse's using is a actually a Gibson Trini Lopez Custom. They were made between '64 and '71.

[xTensex]

its a c&c custom kit

[Hummingbirdface]

hey, all drummers out there, I'm trying to find the drum kit from this video and i'm having a hard time pinpointing what brand it is, it looks like a "ce"? on the reso head on the bass? any help would be appreciated.

[heroftheday34]

gretsch catalina club my friend has one that look exactly like it

[gammelkamel]

its both...

[AntiFatty]

it's not semi acoustic, it's hollow body

[rawr8955]

That's a semi acoustic guitar.

[XweezerXrulesX]

what kind of guitar is that

[xycadambomb]

This song always reminds me of when I was stationed in Moriches, NY in the Coast Guard.

[sitexpl]

zakochany <3

[lost686girl]

i love love love this song.

[CharissaAlex]

amazing song.

deja intendu is the best album

ive ever heard. there is not one bad song on it, i literally listen to it over and over again. brand new are soo talented.

[numbers89]

i love this song so much

it makes me cry all the time

[theshowerscenex]

i'm getting the chills.

this song puts me to sleep at night

and i'm thankful for it.

[tomsguitar]

nice, very influential!

[CCMovieMaker]

Such a beautiful song.

[ewanmac]

This song reminds me of my father who died a couple years ago. "Send out the SOS call, its a quarter past four in the morning" is like how my Dad got sick really early in the morning and we called the ambulance for him, and he died soon after. My Father was a fisherman too so the metaphor fits as well. It's strange.

[mxag]

Sorry man

[ewanmac]

Thanks, no worries dude

[thiswonisloaded]

I seen him play this acoustic

it was probaly the best part of the concert

[Elecricoustic]

OHHH makes me regret missing them in Cleveland last weekend.

I like how he slightly rocks out at 1:30-1:40

[misssupreme]

Ditto to the Cleveland part.

[BaBaBecca]

<333333333333333333333333333

[jaybals]

and that guitar is darn sexy! xx

[Conky845]

god i love jesse, and brand new as well, but man, jesse is just plain awesome

[atlantabraves293]

amazing.

[SuchaFuckingLadyy]

this is my all-time favorite song ever. it's beautiful.

[hobbitstalker]

this is their best song

period

[dkman888]
