Matchbox Twenty - Live from Google - "3 am"

[TheArcticstar1971]

So few artists sounds truly great live. Matchbox 20 sounds even better!!! Amazing!

[RMinor205A]

Thats the 3AM sound from back in the Tabitha's Secret days. LOVE IT.

[Immerghensi]

No matter where they go, they always rock.

[jmdecory13]

[2ndBreeze]

@Swagger051

Weird is good

[uberbigbread]

Hands down the most underrated epic band I listen to.

Btw their live is eargasm!

[JeffreyMiddelveld]

but yes indeed, they sure are flawless live!

[Rebeccal997]

[xXxGATOR32xXx]

this was the song i was born 2 litteraly

[2ballswaxed]

[toialonso]

Rob=Genious

[INSigotem]

@toialonso irony at its finest

[jpg0572]

this seems a bit slow

[bend353]

@jpg0572 Whenever Rob Thomas plays it in lower-key events, or without the band, or acoustic, he plays it slower, and I think that when he wrote it that's what he wanted to do with it, but at some point it changed in the recording process.

[Str8Rydah11]

@bend353 The studio does that for the radio.. They take these amazing songs and up the tempo for the radio.. The piano version of this song is the best. He does it really slow and holy shit can you feel it!! I've loved the slow version since I downloaded it on Napster a decade ago... Great song!!

[mycrazyfriend1]

WOW! Robie please rock my world. i love you. im your # 1 fan

[saturncapricorn83]

He sounds the same live as he does in his recordings. True Talent!!!!

[NinjaPokemonTrainer]

I wanna work at Google :(

[shanlepm1]

these guys are real musicians... pure and simple

[gyufaskatulya]

I love it :)

"we are all acoustic but it's in Kyle's contract: no matter where we are - he has to ROCK!"

[sheridan1969]

Matchbox kicks ass!

[dulculux]

i first heard this song during my saudi days working as crew in popeyes restaurant..

[MsLovelovelove11]

It's almost scary how matchbox can paint a picture with just words>>> Amazing Artist 's for sure!!! Can't wait for what's next!!!

[edwin9020]

The version with the other guy in the band sounds better

[Phoerocks]

GEEEEEREAT!

[02071979matt]

haha, belziebib is a loony-tune! Dares anyone to say a word to him. Well ok. You're a screwball. Thats right! Me, Rob Thomas, the CIA and The Tooth Fairy are all out to get YOU!

[DynoDNA]

he plays this version different than the studio version... anybody know where i can get the tabs/chords for this version?

[mallardh]

Basically throw a capo on the 5th fret and play the chords D G and A. If you know the rhythm of the song you should be able to plug them in accordingly.

[DynoDNA]

@mallardh thx... i meant the other guitar tho.. what chords are those?

[mallardh]

@DynoDNA The chords in order are G C G C G C G C D C THEN REPEAT THE G C PART. CHORUS IS G D C D AND TOWARDS THE END IT GOES E minor D C. Enjoy!

[belziebub]

Stop lying to people- Rob Thomas- your lies won't save Tabitha. Your a sore loser and her having me gang raped will not go unpunished as well as the other crimes-- crimes against humanity will be punished by death.

[Nicholas092282]

WTF? What are you talking about?

[belziebub]

His first bands name was Tabitha's Secret- Tabitha is a bitch who had me gang raped- tormented- and almost killed and when the military takes her and the others out I dare anyone to say a word to me or attempt to touch me. Rob Thomas wants to lie for her to make Bill Rosamund feel better or for any number of stupid reasons and it won't work.

[Nicholas092282]

I still don't get it... How do you associate the name of his former band with a person that, apparently, gang raped, tormented and almost killed you? Are you saying he was one of the rapers gangbangers?

[belziebub]

He was not one of the rapers but Tabitha was a part of it as she set it up and had other things done-- Tabitha's son is named Adam- (and btw she did not get up at 3 am to feed him as she was very neglectful and lost custody of her kids) She had 4 kids and lost custody- Adam- Bart- Leah and Tanner. The military is going to kill her and his lies can't save her. Doesn't it seem odd that his guitar player is named Adam like her son? Coincedence-not. Military is going to kill her period.

[belziebub]

Anyway- his nickname should be Inkybink or Enkibink (after the greek or roman god Enki)get it play on words- Inkybink (creative writer-inky) Enki was the god of the water, creativity, and earth according to Greek and Roman mythology. Although his naming his 1st band Tabitha's secret he should have belziebub for a nickname (already taken though) as he is the lord of the dung and lord of the flies. pml.

[belziebub]

aww- Tabitha was not a 3 am mother and you should stop lying for her and the lies won't save her.

[romaniivii]

i just noticed they always have the word "scared" in their songs, it kinda gives me this weird feeling...i get sentimental, that is.

[Daniel7681]

READ THIS

Come check mine its just like it, except it tells what happens with the war in iraq and americans history (but a good part of it is still on 9-11) Make sure you subscribe, and leave a comment. (for the song Let's see how far we've come)

[Scrap5000]

I love their music but their jokes are corny

[allytbally2]

i could honestly watch them play all day!

[packersfan44]

I love Robs facial expressions. He really gets into his songs and stays there. It's GREAT. He gets better looking with age.

[drife1975]

@packersfan44 when they 1st came out i hated rob so much for his over dramatic facial expressions. i thought he was over doing it. then it started to grew on me and NOW...

i can't stop hitting the replay button. what a joy to watch him sing. i feel it... I feel him... so much!

[MikeConlon2]

this song rawls rox rocks!!!!!

[makemusic116]

Kyle needs to cut that horrible hair. He looks like a Marilyn Manson member.

[mansonfangirl]

It might be because I obviously like Marilyn Manson, but I rather like Kyle's hair. Although it doesn't look very clean.

[sarasundie]

i know he was soo sexy when he had short hair and now he kinda looks freaky but when i saw him in cancert this summer his hair didnt look as freaky as it does in pictures and stuff. But thats still no excuse. "Get a hair cut and get a real JOB!" haha.

[buskard919]

Other than Unwell this has to be my favorite song by them, this is great version of the song also.

[ndorptom]

no matter how or when Rob sings 3 AM, EVERYTIME its a powerfull, beautifull song. just makes me wanna turn up the volume each time I hear it

[DaPhils]

Its great to see them sing this again

[Berryco23]

Beautiful...*cries*

[meercat101]

I saw them live at the apollo in Manchester- they were fantastic , and its such a shame they dont get as much regognition in england.

How far weve come and 3am are soo much better live (though are still great on cd)

[samuelh20]

i completely agree. im a massive fan, nd i was really upset wen i found out that they came england, nd i had no idea. nd its really strange how unknown they r ova here, its a shame cos they r a gr8 band. i fink most of their songs seem better live, his voice has mor depth, nd the music is better.

[jimbeauxtexas]

And like, I'm sure, they are totally better than Matchbox 19 ever was!!!!

[mansonfangirl]

very true indeed, lol.

[jimbeauxtexas]

[wink]

[tiborsfriend]

oh yeah totally matchbox 19 sucked!

[mansonfangirl]

Why did the replies get marked down? Are we not allowed to joke around in this place?

[sarasundie]

haha thats funny matchbox 19 :))))i wonder how they came up with that?

[jimbeauxtexas]

Matchboxes 1-19 and 21-100 were taken. Rules prohibit over 100 matchboxes so they were stuck with 20![I know, get a life lol]

[alex49698]

lol r u seirous?

[jimbeauxtexas]

nah...just an old fart havin fun..love rob and the band tho!

[alex49698]

yea i love the band, but it always does wonder me where they got their name, u kno? hopefully not from the toy car lol

[raaedissa]

in rob's family, i think his dad was... he used to always keep a 20 dollar bill inside a matchbox... in case shit happens i think it was... thats why its called Matchbox 20

[KRyanShameMusic]

i THINK it actually was on a jacket somebody wore once i think rob used 2 work in a restaurant and someone walked in with a bunch of patches on his jacket one said matchbox and another said 20 MAYBE idk u may be right tho

[Mellsbob]

They are called that b cuz there are 20 matches in a matchbox.

[madass1203]

matchbox 20 is so awsome live i saw them in melbourne and nearly cried when they said they were playing just one more song

[corey14payne101]

they were the first people i ever saw live,

and they still stand as the best live performance ive seen.

[lindsayanne090]

WOW. As good if not better than recorded! I REALLY want to see them live....wish i could've seen them in cleveland.

[nickglowaski]

me too! didnt they play with led zeppelin?

[Phlikone]

Damn. The drummer is even super talented. They all play guitar AND sing! This band has more talent that I gave them credit for.

[halseyhall]

So did Google Hire them to play at the Google Campus?

Or was this filmed for release on Google Video?

[jeanesy1]
