The Raveonettes - Dead Sound (Acoustic)

Here's The Raveonettes performing an acoustic version of Dead Sound, from their latest album, Lust Lust Lust. This was the second song of their set that I filmed at Sonic Boom, in Toronto on March 21, 2008. This was the first acoustic set that they'd ever performed.

That was my point, Watson. I find much humour in the fact she can't really play even basic chords, but she insists on pretending because it looks cool.

[spacemetalizer]

At least she's trying and will only get better over time. It appears that people quite like them and in the end that's all that counts :)

[airmiami]

She has to look down to change chords because she can't really play, arf!

[spacemetalizer]

okay Sherlock, your point being..?

[MysteriousDrella]

lol, but did i saw it wrong, it seems, that our guy has chewing gum in his mouth, or he chews on something, when he's not singing :)

[spacemetalizer]

He was probably nervous... their very first acoustic set and all.

[TATER1971]

Charming!

[m1kewithaone]

if they can't play, then why do they sound so good??

[MrSlither666]

@airmiami at the end shes not looking down at all and just looking at him while she is still playing...

They're where they are because she's tall, blonde and slim. People, lets not kid ourselves... it's generic "dangerous" calculated rock&roll. His lyrics are appalling when you read them. He also lies about his age in interviews to keep up with the kids, it's pretty sad. I've nothing against him doing this til he's 70, but don't be shaving 8 years off your age!

I didn't say fame =talent You're right that would explain some of the people making money out there.  I just wouldn't criticize anyone who makes money playing. A poor sap like me would love to be where they are.

[airmiami]

Reizula - your playlist includes Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Michael Bolton. I enjoy that. I enjoy your funny face.

[airmiami]

Ahh, so FAME = talent. You're so correct. That explains Miley Cyrus too.

[leonsnapper]

airmiami, how much money do you make playing and singing? Criticizing her playing sounds ludicrous unless you're way more famous.

The Velvet Underground couldn't play instruments?! Hahaha! I've heard everything now! And to compare these clowns to the Velvets, that's a laugh.
