Live - Shit Towne (2000-06-11 - #05)

[ZRace67]

Everyone talking shit on PA, just get the fuck out. It's a beautiful state, and we don't need your trash here.

[nicolidominn]

Yup, this is the song that made me want to hear more Live. It could have been "Lightning Crashes" or "Iris," the two radio singles played most in Boston, but no...it was this one, which my brother only played ONCE on his shitty car speakers.

[grrouchie]

I never liked this band until I got to meet them. Singer's Dad was my one of my 8th grade teachers and when their first album came out and started to get play on MTV - Ed came to our class to give away CD's, talk and sign autographs. I think within the next 3 years I saw them live about 5 times without even trying.

[darkistflame9877]

how many of you actually let your hometown that you so disappointed with?

[Daymon74]

Did gen-x put out the best music ever or what?

[themayocycle]

this is my favorite song on this record. that's saying a lot.

[bringabeer100]

lived in a small town.Hated it but loved this song and the album.We keep to ourselfs

[mojoaman88]

WoW! Is York, Pa. as bad as Altoona, Pa. I think Pennsylvania just sucks....period. I can say that because I live here.

[miatageekscott]

@mojoaman88 I live in PA too, this state sucks big fat donkey balls

[SWbro94]

@miatageekscott dude you don't even fucking know. Pennsylvania is fucking great.

[toot1231]

@miatageekscott I live in West Virginia how do you think I feel we are bassicily forgot about.

[fattirevsbud]

@miatageekscott so does OH lol

[SDeezysLover]

Perfect song for my town... Ugggh.

[lram100]

Sounds like my home town and many others.

[thekage3]

You could compare York to a black hole. It has a way of drawing people in, for whatever reason, and never letting go while sucking all the light from their hearts.

York is a shitty, dumpy, ugly blight on southcentral PA. The people are unhappy and unfriendly and the city itself consists of a very small "nice" area surrounded by a sprawling ghetto with almost nothing to do.

[TheAussieraver]

@thekage3 well dont sing songs on why its so crappy spend some of the millions theve made by singing about how shit it is and build somthin worth doing there besides your mum

[AGWStudios]

@TheAussieraver So you give your money to ghetto communities? Or are you judging within a topic you have no rights?

[MrRandyl73]

this song is my town to the tee

[anjtuliao]

Miss this song. Miss LIVE!!!!



[SWbro94]

"we don't bother anyone, we keep to ourselves" lyrics to perfectly describe being a teenager living in a shitty place you hate...

[OnlyForAngels]

Im hating the keyboards. Is that part of the band now? Throwing Copper and S.S. were great/good albums. After that, eh.

[jcdehoff]

Hanover and manchester are townships in york! Herp derp he's right.

[thecureye]

aww i love how everyone h8s there home town

manchester is shit but i love it

[maddogwally]

I have all of this bands cd's.. They are under rated. Never seen them live.

Is this a cd of a live show? And where do I get it?

[krishaberstroh96]

Haha it's funny how right before the chorus Ed always lowers down disaperring from the frame!!! XD lol haha great song though

[jeffm419]

Harley-David motorcycles?????

[M1919A1]

@jeffm419 There is a Harley factory in York. I remember going a field trip there along time ago :)

[M1919A1]

@M1919A1 *on a

[Altustruggles]

they were one of the few bands that was better live than on record! brings me back! 90s were the best. so much better than the shit that passes for music these days. hell yeah, shit towne.

[63ibelieve]

such pity they split. this album is a classic.

[schopy1972]

Live rocks , saw em just after they released Throwing Copper . ever song on this album is awesome

[lennomenno]

Bad ass performance !!

[lynngrady]

Seen these guys 4 times now. Met them at Sydney Airport and they signed my CD.

[jmdennis1967]

My shit town is Bakersfield, CA. 

[Rspringscabin]

Fontana CA was my shit town

[horsewang777]

The synth doesn't go well with this song

[therealdeal989]

replace York Penn with Yamhill Oregon

[CRyniker]

@therealdeal989

:) I'm In Gresham (Right outside of Portland)

[therealdeal989]

@CRyniker lol, ya gresham East of P town is pretty rough. I do NOT roll through w/o a side arm (legal of course)

[CRyniker]

@therealdeal989

:)  I'm In Gresham (Right outside of Portland)

[TheGeneral502]

yeah man....york blows

[shezzy05]

I am STEAMED that this band broke up right after they preformed in my area... Of course work I couldn't attend due to work obligations... This song is totally my Mom and Dad's ringtone on my phone. I moved out of that "Shit Towne" (aka Weld, ME) when I was 18. The song fits perfectly...

Love Live. Whether they are apart or still a group. 

[Michiganborn1969]

This should be the theme song for my hometown of Detroit, MI.

[Boberatzi]

Saw these guys at the House of Blues in Disneyland. One of the best I've seen.

[asudmr]

while all these fuckin' crackheads, they livin' down the street from me...love that part

[buzzbigwig730]

R.I.P. Live. I still spin Throwing Copper all the time. Fuckin' A. Ed. Fuckin' A.

[thesoothsayers]

Most under rated band ever. Live is awesome!

[Thycid]

I think they are under rated simply because of their name. Type live into google, search for "live". Exactly. . .

[SONOFBORG]

Awesome, love the Throwing Copper Cd, i grew up on it

[ugband]

Live is my fav band of all time. I love this song cuz I live in williamsport Pa and its all a shit town in Pa..lol

[Deutschland4ever4me]

@ugband Dude...I remember when "Bill" town was a great town.

They turned it into a nigger re-hab. town.

It needs "cleaned" up, and don't count on the "officials" to do it.

Take your town/cities back from the scum; by all means necessary.

[hamletp]

greatest band ever but what was the keyboard experience about...fucked up the songs.

[sPaRtAnTYTY85]

@hamletp not really.

[turnpike88]

I guess this song is the reason they got booed off stage in PA for a long time. But this song is awesome, so it was worth it :D

[ilikeutubejustfine]

I just had a dream that my band from 2001 was part of an all star jam covering this song at Woodstock.

Weird.

Had to look up the song and hear it.

[clamorosissimo]

Wonderful song...I like Live a lot. ;)

Thanks for the upload ;)

[BRWeigle]

I'm from York myself (West York, to be specific), but I must say this fits the bill for the inner city, especially right around where my fiance lives on the corner of S. Duke and Maple.

Been around there too much, seen too many people get hurt and killed for drugs, so I must say I agree with them.

West York isn't so bad though.

[Drummer4242]

i live in york too and it's shit alright.

[irock1392]

I gotta love this song because I live in York, all my life, I I've been trying to escape for as long as I can remember...

[5buddhafam]

Lose the keyboards, not necessary!!!

[moses7869]

i live outside the town they are talking about, not in one of the many suburbs but kind of outside of it in the boonies, but they came from in the city, which it is, a city not a town. personally i love it, then again they probably lived in the bad part obviously near the crackheads. still i think their anger towards it is a bit much, but hey that is just me. also.....Live is awesome

[MoonBabyB]

This song totally reminds me of living in Akron (aka Crackron) Ohio with my sis at 13. Gotta love it.

[jatojo]

They really kick some ass here.. :-D

[W78516]

This crowd is the best. Live must love them. Fuels the fire. God Bless everyone having fun for a change. Good for the soul.

[thesoothsayers]

LIVE is the BEST.

[lilmisse1234]

why are you all putting an E on the end of TOWN???

[Flashpoint922]

That's the official name of the song, "Shit Towne"

[krayziek50]

it's spelled shit towne on the album.

[lordfridge2]

I live In York Pa. Its a fucking great town. I love living here!

[SMP930]

no the town really does suck trust me i live there too

[zinnyzxx]

so do i, hahaha, i hate it but, w/e

[tranquilitygone]

Heh the guy at 1:00 looks like he smashes his head into his keyboard.

[gibsonguitar11]

i also like harley davidsons, ...not so much york peppermint patties....and crack

[gibsonguitar11]

ha, york is about 90 min away from me... =P

[N1095A]

Sounds like Port Charlotte Florida. A stinking steaminng crack head infested shithole.

[N1095A]

By the way, don't ever go there. It's not worth it. Unless you like bugs, unbearable heat, crackheads, and illegal aliens. Otherwise Fuck it.

[frasmo]

we like..really roooooox!!

[claums]

Great!!! Live is really a rare jewel of rock that emerged in the 90's!! Vida longa ao LIVE o//

[FireMedic312]

COLEMAN, TEXAS!

[greyconcepts]

So true about York. XD

[pdog305301]

cool song, the keyboards are kinda annoying and chad's elvis suit is pimp as fuck!

[freshpickedoranges]

i like york...

[helfrich77]

hah well maybe Fuel likes york

[xBillyTheKidx]

fucking love this band oh my god.

[Abba2six]

Nothing sweeter than Live live. =p

[yourmothertrebek]

haha I live in York, and my father is the mailman that delivered to his parents. no fucking kidding. I started listening to these guys recently

[TheReturnOfCharlotte]

Did that guy bang his head in the keyboard 0:59?

[esgoatno78]

Haha. It looked like it. :D

BAM!

[Heropsychodream]

I don't think so...

[freshpickedoranges]

i live in york, pa lol...

[sensazian]

Love it!

[mrthud1981]

Lol i live not to far from York, Pa. And i and Fam up there and there is nothing up there, so he explains it to the T.

[bbp30]

@ motorpsycho12:

You're right. I've been there. ;-)

This gig was amazing...

[Meancow12]

wow this song says everything about where I live too , LOL

[capturedbytee]

Where was this performed?

[motorpsycho12]

I recognize a football stadium in Germany, I think it is Nurnberg! But not 100 % sure.

[BuglyAstard]

I saw them live once, they flat out put on a great show.

[jackthewog]

I wonder if they go and do concerts there? hehehe

[pristwin1]

This was a great performance. The band is awesome. I had the chance to meet them after a show a few months back. The guys are really cool and down-to-earth.

[rudenbomb]

Fuck you pizza hut lol!!!

[olds7980]

He must really love Burger King and Pizza Hut 4:09 LMAO!

[Gevvyiihto]

Completely true what he said but they dont even make York peppermint patties here anymore. So all we have is the Harley final assembly plant and a massive amount of crackheads. Youd think the bikers would kill off the crackheads but were not even that lucky. Don't ever come to visit, if you need to go thru stick to I-83 or US-30, leave as soon as you can and for the love of god DON'T move here our infrastructure is already stretched to the breaking point.

[Uweyen]

Tell me about it. I hate living in York.

[edmundziegejunge]

@Uweyen York? As in York, Yorkshire? Can it really be as bad as urban Nottingham on the drugs, guns and whores front?!

[lshanab1]

@Uweyen Think that's bad, try living in Hanover

[thecureye]

@Uweyen yorks nice

[niclasm]

My body is chilling of joy when I see this. This is truly a similarity to a sex orgasm. Its just that that this one last for several minutes.

[Pyr01]

i used to listen to them when i was in middle school back when music sounded good

[HITECHYORK]

THIS IS SO TRUE!!!

Visit my page to see the images behind the lyrics to this song...

[hurricane606]

strange, this sounds like my town.

[Uweyen]

Sadly, this IS my town T__T

[LuckilyHeDied]

No, you didn't offend me at all. I'm just still not sure where you're standing on the issue.

Gotta live, gotta live, gotta live...

[LuckilyHeDied]

All I was saying was that he was saying it sarcastically. Any type of extreme patriotism is useless garbage. It's fine to be proud of who you are and where you come from... anything else is just a flag with some colors on it.

[thegame546444]

York might suck but you haven't seen a shit towne til you've been to Peoria, Illinois baby. there's a reason that Richard Pryor got the fuck out of here as soon as he could.

[aymara28]

Thank you for the video, this is my favorite LIVE song, i still listen to it everyday.

[lennomenno]

"God bless America..Burger King and Pizza Hut....fffuck you..."

Damn it that's great !!

God bless south central Pa. We need it.

[LuckilyHeDied]

Actually I believe he said "God bless America AND Burger King and Pizza Hut" followed by a smarmy "fuck you."

In other words, this "God Bless America" stuff is just crap.

[krayziek50]

I'm from Harrisburg. I know about York.

[alchemicxfuse]

Ha I live in York and it sucks!

Ive always hated it!

York is such a fucking stupid place to live!

[omahaangel]

Damn, this performance has to be one of my favorite videos on youtube.

[LuckilyHeDied]

I agree.

Definitely my favorite performance by Live on youtube of any song.

[Ianfalcon44]

LIVE is great!

[krayziek50]

york is a bad city infested with drugs and crime.

[enwll3427]

Great song from one of the most underrated bands of all time.Very good version but the keyboards don't add to the song.If anything it cheeses it up.

[tarduk]

perfect song!!!

[SpiritualJones]

I live in York and it'll swallow you whole unless you make it out and then it gives you a lot to write about.

[tygga04]

OHHHHH my god my mom and live in YORK PENNSYLVANIA THIS IS AWSUME im so going to have to tell my mom about this and the funny hing is that my mom wanted me to move in with her i said no and moved in with my girlfriend in maryland ive been there and their right there is nothing but a harleyshop and lots of druggies ahahahaha GOOOOOODDDD OOONNNNNEEEEE

[sweetsugarcoma]

I know how they feel...I dont live in the exact place he said. but I live in Pennsylvania...and its stupid here. nothing to do, drugs addicts, and a terrible educational system. Nothing but crappy people here. I'm sure where they're from its just as bad as were I am. East Shitsburg Pennsylvania.

[crosboid]

This is SUCH a fuckin' spirited performance!! I love it! This is what live music is all about.

[pots84]

Great video!

[lrsmith]

Live is still great, Piggieboy

[pigsbladder]

back when live were good

[kpbrian79]

live is the shiet!

[TheJR]

Best group ever!

[omahaangel]

One of the best live performers I've seen. I'm going to the Filmore to see them coming up,
