Now this is how rock and roll should be played, i’m glad these guys are getting recognition in the states because they blow radio rock bands out of the water
Agreed
This is one of the few songs where I prefer to listen to the live version
They are absolutely on fire here.
No words. Absolutely perfect
This utterly BRILLIANT
When the guitar cut out, they knew this take was screwed, so they went all in and said "let's tear this place up!" and it made the whole performance even more powerful and real. These guys have come to single-handedly save music and I am here to cheer them on!
The bassist is the safest man I’ve ever seen 😂
Now that is what I call a fuckin’ tune.
Is there really anything better than this? This is the musical equivalent of GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!
Best ive heard for years.up the irish.
This is a band I really want to see,!
I'hammered and this is just...…………………..jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeeee
This is absolutely amazing
New generation, good and old rock!
this is man's music,wow you f****** that was ace ,Co Tipperary lreland 🇮🇪 ☘
You can feel them light on fire halfway through...
Simplemente la mejor banda del momento / Fontaines DC , poesia, textos, ingles de Irlanda, cantante líder y músicos buenos e inspirados!..actitud, rebeldia, contemporaniedad! Excellent/brilliant/ awesome/ fantastic.
🇨🇺🇵🇹🇨🇺🇵🇹🇨🇺🇵🇹

Saw them open for Arctic Monkeys and my wife and I just looked at each other like we both knew we found our new favorite band
What year was that?

Great.

Saw these boys at SWG3 supporting Shame, lead guitarist crowd surfed an absolute belter, all looked out their nut on the finest Charlie on these shores ✌️
Henrik Larsson I have no idea what a Charlie is bud, I’m a bit stoney faced. But I enjoyed reading your memory

whateverfloatsurgoat much obliged sir
speak English will ya
The force may with Dublin !
Did it ever leave Dublin? The biggest creator of all this is poetic and using the English language to her ultimate. Nothing new here folks. Just another great band from Dublin.
Rock and Roll Band.
GIRL BAND Shirt!
Great lyrics. Reminds me of John Cooper Clarke.
Fuckin belter of a tune....
💓
Saw them in Poland a few months. great live!
He looks like Ian Curtis, nice style haha
I was stuffing my face with pizza while watching this, and just realised I went through a pizza and a half in 5.42
Makes me drive faster too
That's hilarious. I think I smoked a whole pack of cigarettes.
pizza eating rock n roll
Best Punk band since the Pogues, In my humble opinion
F' yea! from Detroit.
Am I the only one that sees ian Curtis in this singer??????
Does that kid look like Gram Parsons or what?!? Great track.
Ayy
Cracking band Cool as fuck😎
rip mark e smith
@John Higgins no
The Fall never came close to this.
P5YCh-O'-B4BbL3 why even make the comparison
Youl never beat the Irish
In a spelling contest?
@@sgtwilko2338 lmao
Lead singer's definitely one of those lads who has to fend off girls
no shit
When I saw them open for IDLES, I saw him literally surrounded by girls with stars in their eyes.
Really I mean hes no bad but nothing too exceptional
He's definitely a snack
The Fall?
He spits out Brits out only smokes Carrolls
No idea what that means!
@@DSilsbury well leave it open to your own interpretation so. What do you think it means?
@@stephenmccormack8835 Spits out British? Smokes Carolls cigarets, owned by the British / US tobacco company I assume. Good song, sounds like the guy they describe is a dick.
Bobby Dazzler brits out i.e. out of Northern Ireland. Carrolls are/were Irish cigarette brand
It's saying how this person "spits out" the words 'Brits out' in a sense of anglophobia. "Only smokes Carrolls" refers to how he only smokes Irish cigarettes in his wanting to be a pure Irishman.
Singer looks like Jimbob Walton
Good Irish boys
These lads will be taking over the place shortly, so yous might as well go home to yis are gaffs an all. Rapid like.
Bula bus lads.
there's a Gloria riff in there )))
Almost.
@@2ONQ2 just heard that now as you mention it lol
You're not alive until you start kicking
When the room is spinning and the words ain't sticking
And the radio is all about a runaway model
With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel
Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car, get outta here

But the boys in the better land
You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
But the boys in the better land
You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land

Driver's got names to fill two double barrels
He spits out brits out, only smokes Carrolls
And he's ref reshing the world in mind, body and spirit
Mind body and spirit
You better hear it and fear it
Oh, that's the spirit
Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car, get outta here

Fotaines D.C. vs INK Guhn Leoyaen remix ft Ronnie Drew
Holy sh1t, 1977 wants its rickenbacker back.
Tom Richardson god tier guitar
They sounds very similar to the Painsley Underground bands, such as The Dream Syndicate
3:10 What the hell happened?
i thought my ears popped
The rythm guitar cut out
Feel like the cameraman hates the bassist or something 😂 same in their music videos
whatyoutalkinbeet
No cameraman ever in existence has willingly filmed a bass guitarist. Sign - John Paul Jones.
Lowkey ian curtis liked
The Fall were better in the better land.
Ehhh. I see you what mean (kind of) but the mighty and wonderful Fall did not have this kind of energy, I'm afraid.
Massive Fall fan, but this is from a different planet, different era and different energy.
serious guitarists 😂😂😂
What about the drummer. Animal from the Muppets , except he is no muppet.
You're lacking in testosteron. 😆😆😆
He reminds me of my godson ironically
LADS
Joy division
i love this song but i feel like the guitar tones bleed too much live making it sound kinda clumsy
Thats punk for ya
The Who 2.0
Why would you make a Rickenbacker sound like that? Any other guitar would do it.
here comes the wee guitar tech with nae band nor talent
A poor Ian Curtis tribute. If that is what it's meant to be.
SantaSunday The Streets via The Ramones!
Are you serious? He's better looking than Curtis, I doubt he behaves like Curtis did and the song batters anything Joy Division.
What a tired comparison?He aspires more to the likes of Shane McGowan.
I gave you a thumbs down for that remark buddy, seeing as UA-cam won’t tell you, thought I would. 🤪
They are from Dublin, Don't have to tribute anyone
