I watch this once a week, religiously. It’s like a spiritual experience. Marvellous.
Agreed!
Me too! Same! Cathartic release!
I can’t wait to go see them live gonna lose my shit
Bass player is a fucking tank
Oh, he's the driver alright
I'm all about that weekend at bernie's look
@@BloomGlare weekend at Benke's
Yes, he is. You know exactly what he’s about ten seconds in. He ain’t fkn around. He’s boss.
He's the heartbeat
I lost my shoe and my phone in this pit. Found my shoe on the floor and some legend handed my phone into security!
White iPhone?
Legend indeed. Most folks are good to be fair ♥️
We found a phone and handed it in, I think you came down to the very front looking it? Glad you found it!
@@damo447 legend!! Thank you!
"Yeah we have a bunch of lost phones plus someone dropped their synthesizer right by the stage."
"This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like..."
He literally has man boobs
Who needs a sixpack? Onepack is king!
@@anhacha I've got a six pack. It's just protected by beer cozies.
Yes, he owns that belly! Love his dancing too. Just perfect!
@@anhacha6 pack of red stripe will do me !
the enlargement of the belly is a sign of prosperity
😮 indeed the way he moves just a beast of a performances new fan here
I know that, but me wife doesn't think so.
Ho man.... 😂
Eatin good, doin research chemicals, livin good!
Everything about Sebastian screams "I don't give a fuck" and yet he always delivers a brilliant performance. He's a proper throwback of a frontman, in the best possible way.
He is the epitome of cool
Im pretty sure all he gives a fuck about is his music.. the rest? not so much
yeah like... fuck trying to climb back on this stage- im taking the stairs. Legend
If Roy Orbison was a punk.
I've heard he's really loose
Man, that looked like the 90’s there. It was glorious to see.
That's how I felt seeing them last Feb. The whole floor was pogoing
‘80s too! 😊
It made me remember that old beer commercial where the guys were ordering beers from a crowdsurfing waitress while crowdsurfing.
Totally agree. Festivals where you lost your mates and no way to find them - everything was an adventure.
my first thought, like a throwback to those days when no phone meant no distraction
Pros to the bass man playing that riff for 10 minutes straight without cramping
that bass tone is just huge too
Benke Nitad
viagra, bass viagra, and magnesium salts
@@pege950 Benke is an absolute beast
The fall blindness could be a Viagra boys song it's definitely inspired him
I love when the frontman is crowd surfing and the sax player is just lying on the ground freaking out with the sax
Looks like the best gig at Glastonbury this year
They were fuckin awesome. I'd never even heard of them before
It was!
between these and queens defo
@@reddoor6114welcome to the shrimp club brother, time to go all in on shrimp tech like the rest of us
@@reddoor6114first viagra?
This is the only band whose performance I didn't see a single phone. Everyone is just dancing and enjoying the moment!
Long live the phoneless! ❤🎉
I know people need to document, but not all of us 😅
@@danielsmeyer agree. The interesting thing is that you can shoot as much video as you want, but the concert you'll remember the most is the one where you didn't shoot anything.
4:48 two clowns in the front row.
Or Dave Grohl!
As my Mate MAd Eddie said, any band that can cause that much chaos at 4pm on a Sunday get's my vote! Total commitment from band and audience..a rare thing at 'Glasto' these days..
After 10 or so years of Coachella live feeds, with boring crowds and boring bands; it's great to see some fun and life brought back into live music. LONG LIVE VIAGRA BOYS!
If you like this type of crowd, I think you will enjoy this performance of Sports: ua-cam.com/video/XdKQpPy1P4Q/v-deo.html
Feel free to also check out Troglodyte from the same concert.
Cheers!
Coachella has nothing on UK festivals like this. Glasto has a bit of everything for everyone from mainstream to the most obscure and underground
If Coachella is your only reference for live music within the past decade......you are a complete loser
10-4 on that little buddy
Coachella is full of a bunch of rich yuppie posers
QOTSA and them had the best sets and now they’re set to tour the US together, you love to see it.
Yeah I swore they had a show coming up and now all of sudden there together. Best show around Mos Def
Just saw them both in St Louis and Viagra Boys were incredible! I wished their set could go longer by at least a couple songs, QOTSA nailed it and played Avon and First it Giveth for the first time in years and it was electric the whole night.
@@dookiejohnson4268 sounds amazing, I’m seeing them in Arizona in December but sadly viagra boys aren’t attached to that leg of the tour which is a big bummer, would kill to see those guys live especially with QOTSA. The opener for that show is a band called spiritualized, I’ll have to look them up because I’m not really familiar with them
I'm 58
When the hack comes on and the sax takes off...it's the best jam I have ever seen in music.
Lol lyrics so accurate, “you’ll know it’s working when everything feels wrong “
😂😂 love it
Well known felling
Absolutely the best base player on the live music circuit today. I love watching this guy crank out the motor torque that runs this whole performance. And my 8 year old is disturbingly unable to stop dancing to Research Chemicals. I don't dare explain the words to him. I'm already in for some future hell from this boy !
Hahaha :)
Bass player is Henrik Höckert, aka Benke. Fuckin legend
Sir, Yes Sir !@@indiefjant
fuck yeah. when the time comes tell him use drugs wisely and spend money on speakers first then drugs second
A special thanks to Dave Grohl, who didn't crash the performance to share the spotlight. Cheers VBs 🍻
😂
Replacing Bono.
I laughed loud
Kind of feel sorry for Dave,. He's just a casual dude who wants to hang out with bands he likes but he accidentally got so big he looks like an attention hog instead
@@DantesGrill I agree, it's not his fault if he gets invited on stage, it would be rude not to.
The highlight of Glastonbury coverage for me. Nice to see the keyboard player was delivered safely back, but managed to double his cowboy hats.
Great performance.
It's quite frustrating how people go on about there being no good music, no punk, no rock, etc. And then when a band who have been moderately well-known for several years play a show at the most mainstream possible festival, everyone's like 'oh my god, this is amazing, how have I never heard of these guys!'. It makes me wonder where you are looking for your music. We're in a golden age, you just have to spend 10 minutes on google to find incredible music in whatever subgenre you like.
I have never read a truer comment in my life
Bit harsh maybe. Music finds the person sometimes too. In its own medium and not to a time frame. Ive just found these guys myself from hearing Bill burr recommend them.
Gotta say im well impressed.
Videos are slick too.
@@niallrg3708 That's fair, sometimes music does find you. I don't think I've said anything harsh, though.
It's perfectly fine to be out of the loop on current artists, and it's perfectly fine to be critical of current music. But to do both at the same time is just pure hypocrisy and/or ignorance.
It would be like ordering a margarita pizza from Pizza Hut every night, and complaining how pizza sucks nowadays, and that food sucks in general. Then when anyone says there's other food out there, going "I've tried it all - pepperoni, farmhouse, Hawaiian - it all sucks!". No... I mean order from somewhere else. Even if for some strange reason it needs to be pizza, there's a million other pizza places, many of them doing innovative stuff.
I agree, unfortunally there are algorithms, man. Sometimes you just gotta dig for new stuff to get out of the "If you like X, then you'll enjoy Y" thing.
Agreed bro. I always tell people that if they don't think any new quality exists they aren't looking properly
This song is a perfect example of the power of syncopation. The Drums with the Bass, with the Guitar, the Synth stabs, everything, you can't help but dance once you tune into the rhythms. They're addictive!
THE FALL - WHAT ABOUT US?
As I said to the missus when she laughed at me dancing round the front room in my PJs, after some wake and bake this morning, this song just GROOVES (not sure that's the correct term, but this stuff is strong..)
@@johnsoneightyeight5018 I'm a fan of The Fall, but haven't heard that one. Thanks for the rec, similar vibes for sure. Tim Presley from White Fence used to play guitar with Mark, he's worth checking out if you're not familiar.
@@ChrisBrown-xf2ceit's a human thing..
@@ChrisBrown-xf2ce its got nothing to do with syncopation, this tune is as straight as your prototypical republican
Sebastian is the coolest man to ever walk this planet, we're not worthy
Broke my ankle in the pit 👴🏻🤦🏻♂️🤕. Still totally worth it. What a set
I wouldve gave my left ball to have seen them :(.
WOW! But was still probably the best time of your life! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Quality
They should print that quote and use it as an advertising campaign
did you have to leave the site to get it fixed wtf
Every time I get on UA-cam I have to watch this video. It's addictive as the Research Chemicals are themselves.
more so. Screw Research chemicals...I get high on just WATCHING the crowd come to life and have a life of its own a whole new world. This is what it is supposed to be. This is what people are trying to find when they reach for a drug. They want THIS
This band might have the best use of bass of any band out there right now. Their bass lines are just out of this world good.
Have you heard of the Stooges?
@@derunsympaththe only response i would agree with!!
Reminds me of the Stooges mixed with Kevin Rutmanis-era Melvins
@@derunsympath certainly, I’m just referring to contemporary bands.
@@dominiclodato533This song sounds very much like "Swastika eyes" by Primal Scream. Never heard it?
The most interesting and ridiculously good live band I've seen in a decade or three.
That doesn't mean shit to anyone else, but it sure does to my remaining time.
Thanks for keeping the spirit alive VBs
One of the best live bands going... Maybe ever
@@josephsimmons9241 😂 Ever. Ffs. Calm down lad.
@@paddyotoole2058it’s okay to state opinion
@@josephsimmons9241 i dont like bands that tell you to believe the news and that you're a trog for not doing so, fuckin shill lyrics much?
If you get to see the Bronx live, don't miss it
The most interesting thing i find about this performance is that i didnt like this at all after first hearing it. But i found them oddly interesting. After coming back a few times, I love it and really dig the beat and the sound. Thats the magic of music. Now they are one of my favorite bands ever. Life is strange sometimes...
The crowd is mental for this. LOVE IT. Shrimptech all the way!
So glad Vagra Boys got to play at Glastonbury. They've been a brilliant band for years now, and deserve the extra exposure.
Everything about this performance makes me smile
Good to see more people having their hand up and not their phones. - Great performance.
Saw that alot at glasto this year. Good to see.
Great point. I wondered why the visuals look so old school in that crowd
First thing I noticed, so unusual to see an audience that isn't just a sea of phones, looks great.
Here here ❤
Utterly fantastic, stuff the pyramid and Elton John, this is what it's all about!!!
i told my kids theyre not allowed to listed to this kind of music untill they 18yo to make sure they will listen to it when im not around
We need more postpunk bands like these, and no commercial copycats
Absolutely with that great punk ethos that anyone could learn the guitar and start a band. Love it
@@andrewbowen6875 But not just anyone can have this front man's charisma. theyre the real deal
@@MultiSpazzo Yeah, but Sebastian admits himself that he doesn't know anything about music, so it's the Punk ethos that empowers some charismatic weirdos to pursue Art on a global scale. The whole band's the real deal, for sure.
This band will have an dedicated audience till they die if they want it. Its the Dead of the 2000s
@Martin-qy3mm having been brought up a Dead head I got the same impression when seeing an audience who all gets what they doing and an audience not standing there with their friggin cell phones but digging the music
There's just something about the raw joy in the crowd of this video and the banging tune that keeps me coming back to this video. I'm sure there was some help here and there but still.
Imagine your job was to make people this happy.
I have been listening to this band almost every day for two years. There are no better concerts. This is the cream of the crop right here. You can stop looking 🦐🦐🦐 eat it 🦐🦐🦐
The Bass Player is from another world.... Listen to him !!!!!
Foreal thats crazy
most aggressive bass tone I've heard since the stranglers in their heyday
This band proves Rock N’ Roll will never die 🔥
Discovered these Boys during Covid Lockdown, Totally Brilliant. Brilliant to see something different at the age of 66.
Quite clearly the best gig at Glastonbury. First time I seen these geysers. Top quality.
Now, that’s a baseline worthy of the late lamented Lemmy Kilmister in his halcyon Hawkwind years. And the rest of the band? CAF! An as talented. Truly magnificent.
It's the bass line by the fall, bourgeois town
BBC...can you pretty please release the full show for people outside of the UK?
My best canine agent can't even find a way
Was so funny when he was doing push ups on the stage during Sports 😂
VPN and BBC iPlayer!
@@Essa823 VPN didn't work. More and more sites are able to detect them
Must have watched this 100 times.
Me too. Hooked into it. Watching about 10 times a day.
@@simonok87Same hahaha
Same. Gotta see them live soooooooon!
Up to a thousand lol
Mee too. This boys are amazing, saw they in Dezember last year in Berlin
Every morning I wake up, have a coffee and watch this on full volume. My non-negotiables.
every time i watch this, it is more awesome. jealous of those who were there
Saw viagra boys at reading in 2017?? About 15 people in the tent, fucking loved them then, seeing the boys get to this level makes me so gassed, well deserved, Punk ain’t dead 🦐
The world has been sleeping on the Boys for way too long! I've been lucky enough to catch them in a handful of tiny clubs... You haven't really seen them until Seb has sweated on you.
I saw the Dead Boys in 77 and this band that you saw 40 yrs later 2017
are just a family friendly act in comparison 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I do think Fantano has helped make them bigger, especially after he gave Cave World such a positive review
I used to work with Seb the singer in Stockholm... Legend!
That’s awesome! 👏
Never heard or seen these guys before! What a band…everyone of them looks a video game character.
saw these boys last night in san francisco opening for queens of the stoneage. i fucking loved em, pumped the crowd up and blew me away. was yawning during the queens set afterwards...
hell yeah dude
Performance of the festival
Holy shit - I think I may have a new favorite band.
I think this guy stole my jacket that I got from my grandma.
Maybe she bought a couple more, maybe he helped her at the grocery store.
Nah nah he ain’t no thief. You just got the same stuff.
Good to see fans enjoying concert not just filming on phones
This is a VIBE! Dude. Big props to the rhythm section.
I love absolutely everything about this video and everyone in it. ❤🔥💯✨.
Hardly any phones...living in the moment... awesome performance
the phones are stolen by shrimptech
My new favorite band right here, please come to Florida on your next tour!
never heard of em.but after watchin all of glasto these were probabley the best .
I had never heard of them. That was insanely good!
Saw them open for Queens of the Stone Age in Vancouver last night. And ......whoah.
That bass tone is godly. I didn't even realise these guys were a band. I just thought it was a t shirt that guy on weekly weird news wears. The rhythm section is one of the best I've heard in a rock band in a minute.
Oh ffs of course they're Swedish as well. Why are all my favourite bands Scandinavian 🤣
The singer is American he moved to Sweden when he was a teen
@@rickybaillie4222 Half Swede
OMG I DISCOVERED FROM ELIOT’S SHIRT TOO!!!
YEAH! That bass tone is sick!
We northeners need our music to make it through the long winters 😆 cheers!
"You know it's right when everything feels wrong". What a band!!!!!! XXXX
You know it's working when everything feels wrong
Oh joy.At least you didn't end up in the hospital.@@bigyan3667
This was deffo the most rocking gig of the weekend for me. My 12yo daughter was bouncing, didn't realise it was quite that wild down the front though😂
Seen them twice here in Minneapolis and one of the funnest shows I’ve been to both. Crazy how much this has been resonating with the rock scene. Awesome to see
This is great. I didn’t think an eclectic band like this could exist in 2023.
I've watched this video well over 10 times now. It gives me goosebumps every time. Forceful, powerful and just relentless in every way. God bless Viagra Boys!
This is like Jez & Super Hans' dream performance
Whoever did the mixing deserves a raise
absolutely, just watched them at Exit festival and I could tell the difference instantly on this song
saw these fine young lads back in february and i swear everyone in the crowd (me included obviously) regressed back to monkey and went absolutely bananas. one of the most fun shows i’ve ever been to
Viagra Boys are SERIOUSLY one of the very best bands to come out this decade! 😃👍
Never heard of the Viagra Boys before but this fucking rocks. The mosh pit rivals my memories of 1990 Lollapalooza. 😂❤😮
Ministry, Lollapalooza, '92, most insane pit I've ever seen.
I can't stand mosh pits a big shows as undoubtedly there will be people that don't get it being pure garbage. But this looks legit AF. The kids are alright.. see String Cheese Incident at Woodstock for an example of moshings unfortunate moments
These guys are awesome!! Deep real energy, kinda punk , 90s rawness!
Every time I listen, I switch favorite band members
also- can i just add a fuckin massive salute to the sound guy, he caught this perfectly. makes a big difference. well done mate
Guitar solo was a bit muted though
This should go to 1 million views
Just discovered these guys and they are fooking splendid.
sebastian is a true rock legend
Keep coming back to this one. Bra jobbat gubbar!
holy shit this is amazing
You've nailed it if you have a bongo playing cowboy "in hot pants" in your band. (@paulie6446)
..in hot pants!
It’s Rob Brydon
Now that was a performance, absolutely brilliant,😎👍
Taking it to a whole new level. It's ridiculous how they can ALL do that, these Swedish Indie bands.
What whole new level???😂😂😂😂
Tell me what this lot are doing that's never been done before??
Btw I'm a 70, s punk aged 61🤘🤘
@@gmantramp404 You're right, to know what I'm talking about I'll have to learn my way round Swedish pop music.
@@scottishtomtep😊
cool- and I will never tire of the sound of the resonance knobs of an MS20 being tweaked
Some earlier poster ‘lost their shoe and their phone’ there. They got them both back. Hey,, it’s Glastonbury. People DO actually give a shit there! Me? I lost my dignity. Still trying to find that one! WHAT a gig!
epic... this right here is like big festivals should be. one tipping point in Glastonbury history.
One of the many that I have been privileged to witness. Like Idles, on the same stage, a few years back. Hey. It’s Glastonbury. Don’t push me for actual years. I could Google it. But too baked to be arsed.
As I always am whilst over that fence. If you know? You know.

ua-cam.com/video/RCKdhk7mi_4/v-deo.htmlsi=bqMA92UfKh49MQOI
And this one one was another.
Now that's what I call FUN. They are this awesome no matter the size of the show
This is quite possibly the greatest thing at Glastonbury since ‘The Shed’. I have shared the experience of this but no one I know has liked it etc. I fucking love it.
Their loss 😊
The boys are getting big.
I'm 66 and I really get into your music .Great job by all of you .
Likewise. 66 as well btw.
I’m a baby, only 59, but these lot are brilliant
Best band around rn
Around where? Your bedroom?
@@TheBlister69 🤣
You can feel the atmosphere
This vocalist is my spirit animal
no phones, love it.
I'm in love with these guys ,watched them on TV Glastonbury and fandasdozy guys loving the vibe in love now with you lot x
this is the best thing i’ve ever seen
Sick as fuck, best band going right now
This might be the best live performance i have ever seen
I just never get bored of this.
My exercise routine is practicing Sebs dance moves
7:49 what a climax, guy with the orange shades legend!
Liking this group more and more each time I hear them,a big thank you to the mighty sleaford mods,that’s how I got to find out about these and amyl and the sniffers,real music for real people!
