Cage The Elephant - Shake Me Down (Unofficial Video)

[dagrinch385]

Badass jam

[seraphimthelight]

Not sure why... but at 3:07, the song just pauses... weird.

[Ducksarentforever]

I really love this song even on a cloudy day !

[Rockinrolllover]

like if you put LOVE on your knuckles too

[BIGxBOSSxx1]

The video reminds me of the video for You Know Your Right by Nirvana.

[AbstraktView]

@nova423 Borderlands 2 in september dude

[MrBakdafukup]

1:00 ROCKIN OUT even on a cloudy day

[jagstang97]

@smarzled both songs r AMAZING

[MrCaptainchronic99]

I love you guys. I came out to Cali to chase my dreams of surfing...you guys are my theme music...Thanks and thanks for Lolla 11'

[TheLigitGamerrrrr]

funny how the OFFICAL CTE profile didn't even have the OFFICAL video. I mean come on, its run by them

[dwaresacksqb]

Omg finally a good song. Music is horrible nowadays. This was a breath of fresh air.

[elcooliovondad]

by far my favourite band

this song is ...eretheral

[ohohhspaghettio]

for an unofficial video, this is awesome

[Slashta]

This is one of my favorite songs <3

[amorloves21]

Olivethissongg!

[r4is3th3fl4g]

Why can't people just let others like what music they want and move on? It's really annoying.

[iplaydrumsnguitar]

I saw them play in Utah. They were amazing!

[iamz00bs]

@captainnmorghann Because they're friends

[iamz00bs]

@Z0mbieShock You mother fucker you just are a fucking troll grow some balls. Why are you hating them for going mainstream you asshole? Since they went mainstream they've gotten some pretty sweet gigs on Jimmy kimmel and David letterman. Go troll on someone else you fuck

[cornelious500]

@Z0mbieShock

Ur an asshole

They were trying to make it then released a couple singles, got some good gigs and were finally signed to a record company. They released their debut album and became popular for playing good music. Then they came out with their new album(which i absolutely love) while trying some new stuff but thats only like two songs. But i guess u never really listened to them because it went " in one ear and right out the other" for u (yah that was their line. By the way, ur the

[Z0mbieShock]

BRING ON THE HATE

[Z0mbieShock]

You go independent cause noone will sign ya, become immensely popular for being rebellious and fun/funny to listen to, then the first chance you get you sign to a big dick major label and then play serious and sad songs cause you think ur the shit. Well sir I will not kiss the back of your hand cause you don't deserve it...sellouts

[wrathofthepyros]

Really people everyone has opinions, don't watch a video you don't like and tell all the people that like it that it's not real music. Also there is more than one type of "real" music so don't tell people there is. All the hate is dumb. Musical intolerence is all over youtube. If you don't like it don't listen to it.

[Robbie40Hands]

Y'all niggas stupid...why must you think people give a fuck what you gotta say about music. Everyone has different opinions that most people don't give a fuck about. Can't even go on youtube without some punk ass faggot thinkin he knows anything about music....shout out to the happy comments

[theprplzebra]

The video footage is awesome, and well put together. Good job! :)

[angell99100]

A wonderfull song th at will go on forever

[JesusAteMyWaffles]

So well put together and perfect for such a great song.

[YcantWeAllGetAbong]

I got to see these guys play twice in one night in Louisville; an acoustic set and their usual set. Both were AMAZING!!!

[TheDiveee]

Diveee likes

hope they gonna grow big

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

I like this video , whatever that work is when you showed two different scenes at once , great job(:

[usmc64561]

ok all my friends and i skate and when we do we listen to this song

[iamz00bs]

@Ramonajunie3 Totally dude. Cage the elephant sounds like cage the elephant

[iamz00bs]

Great advice Matt. Even on a cloudy day keep your eyes fixed on the sun!!!

[RageAvenue]

all cause of borderlands...

[77chetta]

I wouldn't say they sound like Nirvana at all! But every time I hear this I can hear their Pixies influence! Very frank Black!! I can understand what people mean though as kurt was a massive Pixies fan and that showed in his songs! But yeah I love them!!! Great band! :)

[drpepperrule]

Whenever i feel down i listen to this song

Keep your eyes fixed on the sun. :)

[itwasryan]

I think this is better than the real video. Anyone agree? 

[Ramonajunie3]

WHY ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT NIRVANA? Cage the Elephant sounds almost nothing like them. ._.

and what's with all the Foo Fighters hate?

YOU SILLY NARROW MINDED PEOPLE

[Maryrose116]

This is like my favoritest song ever!!!!! I love it so so soooo much!!!!

[ladyLBPR]

Great lyrics

[JS43134]

«3«3«3«3«3«3«3«3

[Demonizer37]

oh gosh, i just wached Borderland Worth watching at 2am , i'm pretty sure you wont sleep :)

better than coffe :)

[nova423]

I first heard cage when they did the intro to borderlands with ain't no rest for the wicked. I like this song even more!

[Demonizer37]

@nova423 me too, and if i like the movie i'll play the game as well

[Smarzled]

@nova423

Listen to In One Ear,

You'll LOVE IT!

Or Back Against The Wall.

[MrHystericMan]

@Smarzled Back Against The Wall is my favourite

[BobSagetCharlieSheen]

LOL the lead singer had a meth addiction dumbass LOL straight edge my ass Nevermind sold more records than you can count and it's fucking Kurt not curt you idiot!

[TheLigitGamerrrrr]

i hate how people compare these guys to nirvana. nirvana wasnt even good, these guys are awsome. nirvana did drugs all the time, cage is basicly straight edge. Matt is alive, while curt is... you know

[Ottoguitar51]

@TheLigitGamerrrrr 1. thank nirvana because without them Cage would not exist most likely

2. Krist and Dave were clean

3. Kurt*

4. they are both amazing bands

5. nirvana had to of been good because they changed music and have one of the greatest live performances of all time (MTV Unplugged)

6. ur fuckin retarded

[TheLigitGamerrrrr]

@Ottoguitar51 well it just gets annoying cuz they sound nothing like nirvana

[Ghosty232]

@misterfukin

YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FUCKIN DOUCHEBAG

[MrTwarrington]

harmoniation? why does youtube breed fucking stupidity.. and foo fighters are overrated

[brooker91]

@misterfukin Dude, you sound like the biggest fucking douchebag

[sharquefin]

@misterfukin ...Oasis and Nirvana's hate child?

[souldyer]

Got a Dubstep remix on my page if anyones interested

[XxPau1in3xX]

2:47 <3

[gigglymushroom]

Listen to hair mettle really fuck off man hair mettle is for gay lil boys who don't smoke pot.it'd called rock it's suppose to have a raw sound

[Shananaginz1994]

Cage the Elephant + Sleeper/Agent + Pentoxide = Best Bands of Now =) Love Them!

[SirComment33]

I will not say that I like rap, which I hate, but I will at that this is talentless junk. Any guitarist who had played for a month could learn a song like this. Not to mention the singer has a terrible voice. Oh please people, gain knowledge of music theory, learn to play an instrument, and listen to talent. Listen to hair metal

[XxxMarcoThePhoenixxX]

@SirComment33 In one ear right out the other.

[misterfukin]

@SirComment33 i undeestand your point and that most of bands these days dont search for a musical harmoniation they only concetrate to the voice but my point is there are really good harmoniation in songs wiyh simply few musical notes like the beatles las rancheras blues and way more

[Tasiorexum]

He got the moves like Cobain

xD

[hellzBrother]

This song is so amazing to me. 1:13 is a really special part for me. It's so awesome, how drumms go off and the guitar and it really is that wave of music to your ears. Overall awesome video, really like, feeling them on the scene. love it.

[thejoshbrockmanshow]

If I was still a frontman in my old band I'd be just like this guy.

[Ali77644]

thiz song touches my heart idk y :(

[buu123buu]

i'm going to see them at lollapalooza br yeaaaaaaah

[strokes8771]

i can't believe 63 ppl dislike this is is like saying rap is better than rock

[SopuchLoveHardrock]

Chils on my back...

[FLELLDtv]

I FLELL to this song all the time

[g0SmaCkyourSelF]

i like this version more than the original. :] like if u agree



[Nysia16]

this video is hundred times better than the official one

[theman9581]

wish i could make a joke about the dislike bar and justin bieber's penis, but there is no dislike bar. Cage the Elephant wins

[liaiscool333]

Seeing them at the big day out!!!!!! :DDDDD

[stelaejova]

def on my bands to see live bucket list

[dqrp6435]

Fuckin a stage hands need to invest in a wireless Mic for vox annoying seeing him drag that cable around...

Love this song though.

[FridayImInLove07]

Great song, also love the lyrics!

[Thisismusic1969]

Saw them open up for Foo Fighters at The Great Western Forum 10/14/11. Dave Grohl played drums for them and Cage the Elephant is incredible. Them and Foo Fighters gonna be huge in rock history

[MrHystericMan]

@Thisismusic1969 Foo Fighters has already been huge in rock history :) They are active for almost 15 years and they have many famous songs

[captainnmorghann]

@Thisismusic1969 why did grohl play for them?

[restoshamanHQ]

@captainnmorghann They were doing a tour with Foofighters and cage's drummer got appendicitis and had to be rushed to the hospital. Thats why grohl stepped in. I think its awesome for grohl since matt is so similar to kurt cobaine.

[CrowCanyonBand]

@Thisismusic1969 i saw that show in Sacramento... best show i ever saw

[mickdejong1]

keeeeen to see these guys at Big Day Out!

[charliehenryrufus]

@mickdejong1 fuck yeah

[gabytobeatlove]

:) loooove this song! love cage the elephant!

[ashanngarza]

Wow, this is surprisingly really good!!!:). I wish I could see them live.

Anyways, good job!

[cristian209king]

dude i got to carri him last nigh hella bad live

[ericbrumfield]

ay awsome video

[3Starkiss]

This video better then the new one for that song, because it brings natural intention of the hurry to make it :) Nice :)

[MrBlond6]

@3Starkiss completely agree

[viciouspurple]

Lead singer reminds me of Kurt Cobain.

[alemirdikson]

@viciouspurple FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU

[String1theory]

Woooooooahhh duuuudeeees..... COME IN SERBIA xD

[killertomato02]

If you guys like this music you should check out the song by the band Crawley called "A Thousand Miles Away"

[jen247dra]

Dude I Love this song. Reminds me of driving to the air port with Iola Martinez, and my Aunt Susan.... When we were picking up Danny Drake to Meet my Cali. family!

[smibbo]

This would be a beautiful acoustic song. The melody is actually quite nice. I am not fond of the singer's whiney sound though.

[IDrinkNukaCola]

@smibbo *sigh*

[jidkid44]

He looks cooler with his hair long :o

[TIFFANYxSHAW]

Cage the elephant is the new nirvana. <3 !

[gokcankrc67]

I met with Cage of elephant with Borderlands.

[nullfour]

Best one after "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked."

[bertiemycat]

even on a cloudy dayyy

[DaringDarkness]

Now right here is real music..screw pop

[captainchronic99]

OK...I'M GOING TO NEED CAGE THE ELEPHANT INTERVENTION SOON...CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THEM...THANKS FOR LOLLA 11' IN THE RAIN...I STILL DREAM ABOUT IT...SWEET

[pottskl]

@sharquefin: I totally agree

[M3gaZeroD13]

I can't find the official music video.... I miss that one!

[sharquefin]

Oasis and Nirvana's love child. 

[HideFromFacebook]

@sharquefin But everyone in Oasis is a douchecunt and Nirvana is cool

[1234LETStartAwar]

@sharquefin id say more like nirvana's smoother younger brother

[misterfukin]

@sharquefin dont fuckin taint nirvana with oasis. if you even considere nirvana a band you would know it represented a whole diferent world compared to oasis that would never blend, not even hypothetically. its not logical putting those 2 bands together and especially when oasis said that nirvana were a self pity group. why do you even dare make that damn statement

[ciaranm183]

@misterfukin no1 cares.

[misterfukin]

@ciaranm183 WELL sorry for making a real point and its good to see the way the superficial people think about music

[Malleus06]

@misterfukin He was just making a little joke because of CTE's unique sound, calm the fuck down bro.

[misterfukin]

@Malleus06 kay men i just hate how the fuck little minded people take rock for granted only cause the listen what the media tells them to hear and they think they can say anythin like if you wanna call yourself countersocial listen to these punk band or if you wanna be a whinny bitch and think youre better than everybody else hear these band and in the end they only hear and dont even listen

[TheLigitGamerrrrr]

@sharquefin stfu

[mastershake672]

I do

[NAGleader]

Who writes the songs?

[Muramusa723]

@NAGleader The singer, Matt Shultz (not sure I spelled his name right)

[losingmyreligion6767]

@NAGleader matt, the lead singer.

[Ryuk789546]

I love this song

[opie3c]

Matt really needs a cordless mic lol

[russfinn91]

I hate this band......but I love this song.

[TheBANDSIZATION]

@russfinn91 fuck you if you this band thay are amazing

[TheEnviroFriend]

@TheBANDSIZATION he has his own fucking opinion, you can't expect everyone to like a band just because you like them.

i love CTE, but i don't give a fuck if someone else doesn't like them.

[TheBANDSIZATION]

@TheEnviroFriend SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO PUT THAT I AM SO STUPID...NVER-MIND ME...!!!

[110zone11]

playing this for the 20th time in a row and counting..

[betoluvsale]

FINALLY I FOUND THIS SONG... XD

[MrDiggit91]

this song is amazing, the rest of that album is pretty disappointing compared to their first album IMO

[charlieahart]

@MrDiggit91 Are you serious? It's different, that doesn't make it worse. This song isn't as good as a lot of their songs.

[losingmyreligion6767]

@MrDiggit91 really? i actually preferred thank you to their first.

[LadyDargDiulai]

@darkhokage64 yeah, made up, whatever dude!XD

[CWAsteward]

Have you ever heard of a show called art laboes dedications? Apparently people call in and dedicate songs they did not write to their loved ones.

[Deltachaosrec]

how has done the video?

[legohaloguyXx56]

i love it



[renkennedy17]

I love this song

my boyfriend dedicated this to me

Awesome tune 

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@renkennedy17 you cant dedicate a song that you didn't write...

[LadyDargDiulai]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos says who?.. i want a name.

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@LadyDargDiulai what? it's common sense. You can say, "This song reminds me of you," but you can't say that you dedicated it to them cuz that implies that you took the time and effort to write the music and lyrics in dedication to that person. Cage can dedicate it. Your boyfriend can't.

[LadyDargDiulai]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos all i read was blah blah..

ok, then, tell me, who told you that you couldn't dedicate a song?..

or was it something you came up with?

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@LadyDargDiulai holy shit, you can dedicate a fucking song, but you HAVE TO WRITE IT TO HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE. like i said, its common sense. did someone tell you you can't breathe underwater? did someone tell you to wear clothing in public? these things aren't declared by anyone, it's just common sense, why are you being so resistant?

[LadyDargDiulai]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos blah blah blah..

I (<--- see I said "I"), like I was saying, I have tried, but you can't breath underwater, the clothes part, IIIIII wear clothes because IIIIIII want to.. hahaha I'm sorry but you came up with stupid examples, I still say YOU CAN!! XD

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@LadyDargDiulai Yeah, i couldn't really think of anything good, but either way, a song's dedication is the writer's privilege only. No one else can dedicate the song. Simple as that.

[LadyDargDiulai]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos so it is something you came up with?.. i just want to know how you got that idea, or where you heard it from...

[1RKruemel]

this song has an amazing atmosphere

[TheAUToren]

^this.

awesome.

[saMyMT]

can't stop listening to it! amazing lyrics brilliant piece all together!

[3nd0rphine]

i know im addicted

[nelisiah12]

Amazing song.

[wondayou]

I was falling love you falling on crowds in Summer Sonic Osaka 2011!!!!

[megaclaw6]

Tell me that's not LOVE tatooed on his fingers.

[MsLipsylicious]

fantastic song! :)

[mntunfreak]

@FaBFaB66....hipster am I?! I don't give two cents what people think of me. I listen to what I want to because "I like it." I'm not trying to prove that I'm hip....now go back and sit in your corner like a good little child-

[IamMrReMiX]

Shake Me Down Cut My Hair on a Silver Cloud!

[pps234]

Lolapalooza live of this song is by far the most epic thing in all of CTE history. You'll know when you see it. Almost had me in tears.

[MsGwenline]

j'adore ma number one du moment

[ThatCrazyOldGuy]

Hey...really anything that keeps me in and up to date with my kids.......stuff that I like and they like too.....is a hit with me!

[ThatCrazyOldGuy]

Cool.........I am 46 and I love them too .....maybe alittle of Zepplin in there??? Maybe a little of all that cool funky 70's stuff.......that draws us to them?

[spotlessmind2443]

i like this stuff somehow reminds me of the pixies

[XF6YH]

Does anyone know what guitar effects the lead guitarist is using to do that lick at 1:50 ?

[kaseanoh]

@XF6YH talent and a mad distortion pedal bro.

[ihaveacar]

If you don't like this song that means your volume is to low.

[ihaveacar]

Greatest song of the past 30ish years.

[StoryOfPain]

Simply genuis

[Mtierney21]

i finally truly understand this song. R.I.P. Patrick richards

[darkdrakex100]

god damn it.

I think i'm addicted to this song.........

[williams4815]

@darkdrakex100 Fuck you. I think I'm addicted to this band.

[BestHappyEnglish]

@darkdrakex100 not a lot of people left around
