[DIRTYPRODiGY]

Vampire Weekend is such a talented band. I gotta say, they are the few bands that can actually perform as good as their studio album.

[kathryn728zanessa]

joe was said to be here it was is some site

[Sibra3libra]

EEEWW joe jonas, watta fag! how did u get them mixed up though?

[heytheremrsushi]

leave onypotter alone alright, he didnt know who VW were, just fuck off and watch them prance around onstage to well performed live song

[onypotter]

Im a girl xD Thank you anyway^^ They're so mad to me!! Ahahah xD Who cares, I said the VW are cool ;-P

[HANNAHisprettyoddx]

@onypotter

wow joe jonas is a fucking jobro. not a vampire weekend bandmate. you have to be kidding me.

[onypotter]

I love the Jonas Brothers!! :-S

[hypermusic720]

@smorescake loser :P

[dianadujour]

amazing, i love vampire weekend! thanks for taking me to the concert melofellow :) your FLIP camera is so handy.

[melofellow]

@dianadujour hahah. your welcome!

[onypotter]

Where is Joe Jonas???????? Anyway cool song.. But I wanted to see Joe.. :-/

[vivalaiver09]

fuck you

[onypotter]

me? what? why? I said "cool song"!! :-S

[KcKlax]

@onypotter you fail.

[onypotter]

Why? :-(

[KcKlax]

@onypotter Just for the fact of thinking joe jonas was apart of vampire weekend. It's quite obvious why joe is in the video, so all the jobro fans will go ooo joe's in this video which is good advertisement for vampire weekend. Just next time dont be a fool by commenting a video.

[onypotter]

I know what you mean, but I didn't even know who the Vampire Weekend were before Joe named em. Now I do, so it's not that bad.. I left a comment saying "Cool video" but I asked "Where is Joe?" since I didn0t see him, that's all.. I don't think I'm a fool for it.

[CameronEtc]

@onypotter You really, really are. Why would you ever expect Joe Jonas to be in Vampire Weekend? I know he was in the video, but he wasn't even part of the band in it.

[onypotter]

@CameronEtc I said I didn't know who the Vampire Weekend were!!!!!!!

[MIAgdup]

ok i dont mean to jump into this "conversation" but joe actually did not "name them" the lead singer ezra koenig did and named them after like the amateur movie he made

[onypotter]

@MIAgdup dont worry, I dont mind if u join our argument xD I dunno why they r so mad to me, I only

asked where Joe was!! Is that so bad?? Anyway, if it wasnt for Joe, I wouldnt have watched this video!! :-P And they calling me a fool really bothers me, since I didnt offend em and never will.

[crazymanwilly]

you got trolled

[itsfraan]

joe es el de lentes si no me equivocooooooooooooo :D

[vivalaiver09]

FUCK YOU

[sefsefsefsef]

I don't think this is really the best song off the new album, but it is definitely the most mainstream and most marketable song off the album. I hope it brings them a lot of mainstream success.

[booluther]

Giving Up the Gun" is (arguably) the best song from Vampire Weekend's superb Contra, and the track's music video has the potential to boost it even further. According to an Anthem interview with the clip's co-director, Emmett Malloy, it revolves around a "bizarre-o tennis match" featuring RZA, Jake Gyllenhaal, VW lyrical touchstone Lil Jon, and Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers

[HANNAHisprettyoddx]

love this song and vampweekend.

god but the singer seems so shy in front of the crowd!

[Sibra3libra]

yeah, ive watched other vidios of this song and he sings it much more clearer.

[zoesblack]

contra is a fantastic album :) this is definetly the highlight song, i still love i stand corrected though off their previous. i wish they would play an 18- gig in melbourne ):

[yesdylan]

Best song off Contra.

[brendzo]

well dont listen to it then dick!

[Speciaindividual]

You need to listen to a song to have an opinion.

[ghijessica]

IT. IS. ALWAYS. STUCK. IN. MY. HEAD. But I don't caaaare

[aoifeef]

favourite song on the album, my first V W album and was really suprised with the songs like this on it

[mattgraco]

same here first time for me too! :)

[discoxout]

I didn't know that change was bad. Sometimes, it happens.

[harrytheblurfan]

I really hope this is a single, straight to top of the charts I bet.

[tayottt]

Love the new album. It's kind of crazy to say they've sold out. While Contra is a slight departure, most of their signature sound is left in tact. Afro-pop melodies. Unique lyrics, Ezra's voice...It's pretty much a more mature version of their last album. This is my favorite song xD.

[Healadinii]

well alright then.

my apologies, i take back everything i said.

xD

[thannydrums]

jeeze this song is good

[yammiii5]

wtf? this song is amazing

[Healadinii]

@yammiii5

listen to their older songs, then listen to this one again. you'll notice the difference that they became a sellout. o-o

[yammiii5]

@Healadinii

A-punk isn't the same as this song, but this song isn't bad

Listen to 'Cousins' and you'll see that they haven't become a sellout

[Healadinii]

@yammiii5

I agree that the song isn't that bad, but seriously. ._.' They had a different style and LISTEN to the singer in all of the old songs, he just doesn't sing the same anymore.

[yammiii5]

@Healadinii

I don't think that you've REALLY listened to any song of the new album 'Contra'

When you listen carefully to those songs, you'll see that they haven't changed at all

[jwsherren]

@Healadinii

Not really, the whole thing about being a band these days is creating a novel album. They created a new sound while still keeping the elements that make them who they are as a group.

The singer sounds different because it fits the music, having the singing style from the first album on the second would throw it all off dynamic.

[TheMcGovernPage]

@healadinii they've sold out? I didnt realize they'd signed a new record deal for more money and a more mainstream sound? oh wait, they're still with XL Recordings, an indie company...

[xcountrykid85]

best song on contra!!!!

LOVEVAMPIREWEEKEND4LIFE!!!!!!

[greerjtc12]

This might be my favourite on the new album, the bridge is so pretty.

Also, does anyone know who the girl is that does the additional vocals on the track? She's very good

[JuniorMint4]

One of there best songs off the new album

[aaronscot]

their new album is soo good. i saw them in ibiza rocks and they were literally amasing. best band live!

[lilyyloo]

wow , i'm seeing them really soon ! cannot waait x

[melofellow]

you will have so much fun!

[Findche]

How could you enjoy the concert when you were making videos like the whole time?

I must say, I don't like the people who rather hold their digital camera straight then dance and enjoy the music!

[melofellow]

ya..i know exactly what you mean. because i debated so much whether i should video it or not. but i wanted to be able to show my friends and family the videos because they enjoy the band just as much as i do.

so ya, i wanted just some of the performances on video and danced the rest :)

[shainajoy]

Really? haha we must share a similar taste in music. What other bands do you like?

[melofellow]

well, recently i went and saw death cab, regina spektor, the killers, priscilla ahn, kings of leon, and ingrid michaelson. oh and jay-z. all of those were really good too. i also like clap your hands, shout out louds,  the shins, postal service, spoon, the national, radiohead, and more :) hahha

[shainajoy]

ahhh! amazing! so lucky! i wanted to see the killers so bad. I love the postal service. do you like passion pit?

[Stallian121]

@melofellow finally i know someone who likes the killers besides me

[melofellow]

@Stallian121 the killers are awesome!

[melofellow]

@Stallian121 the killers are awesome!

[urbanhag]

do you live in Africa?

[speedybill47]

@Stallian121 YES!

[shainajoy]

i had to have been standing right next to you haha !

[melofellow]

hahha. i saw your other vids. i went to the coldplay concert also! haha

[TheKillersOwn]
