I absolutely love this guy. The music is great songs all have meaning and well the front man is anything but boring all the haters will hate but as a long time metalhead and old school hard rock lover this type of music is not my usual. I've seen hundreds of shows in my 40 years and I thank my gf for bringing me to see The Gas Light Anthem. Again I absolutely love the front man people get irritated by his antics and his stories but I found him to be one of the most interesting, funny and absolutely gem of a musician. I say f what everyone says . Do not ever change the world needs more people like him. Gas Light Anthem fan for life
Saw them in Philly and at one point early in the set he talked for a good 8-10 minutes, but honestly, I didn’t care. The band sounded incredible, the set was great, and he seemed genuinely happy to be there, happier than any of the other times I’d seen them. After that, they played Blue Dahlia and then proceeded to keep playing banger after banger.
@@dmon715 haha, I saw. I had no idea, I loved the show and every minute of the speech. Have these people not seen TGA / Fallon live before?? He does this every show. I thought he sounded great!
@@joshtremblay6050 well said. This is what make a great band, the storytelling. I've seen them a few times and they're a great bunch. They used to come out after shows for a chat a Brian told us about what a diva Katy Perry is. This is a great song. It's why I love Springsteen, the storytelling. John Mellencamp and Southside Johnny too
@@joshtremblay6050 Yes I have seen TGA before and Brian Fallon solo. Never seen an artist implode on stage like that before. I can only assume you just ignored the a boos and many calls from the crowd for him to play some music. The posted rant here is 13 minutes long and far from the only one in the show. He talked way more than any artist I have seen in my 400+ shows and as much as he has talked in an entire tour in the past. That was a disaster and he alienated a lot of fans last night. The show was 110 minutes with 18 songs from a band whose songs are on average less than 4 minutes each. They cut 3 songs from the standard set so Brian could ramble on throughout the show. I felt for the band because it was obvious they were not happy with what was going on. Alex tried several times to get songs started only have Brian ignore him and continue rambling nonsensically. Last I feel bad for you, that your concerrt experience is so limited you think what TGA did at Echo Beach was a good concert. The lead singer insulted the crowd and his own band and shortened his set list so he could ramble on aimlessly for at least 25% of the show. That's not a good concert. Not even close.
@@aa-zc3en Holy, over thinking a bit much. TGA literally got back together to do this tour and make $$... did you really think they got back together and all like each other again?? Also, you realize people have different opinions right? You seem to think you are correct and no one can say different. I spoke to many people at the show who enjoyed it, people on Reddit as well as a few on this video who enjoyed it. I get someone people didn't like the rants, or the clear disconnect in stage between band mates (which should have been expected), but nothing to lose your mind over... the music was great, its two hours of your life, it can't be that bad... I feel bad for you that you put this much thought into a simple show, relax, it's all good.
I'm so glad someone uploaded this. This 14 minute rant was a running joke at their Detroit show. I personally find Brian's rants hilarious and entertaining. I feel sorry for those of you who were not able to find joy listening to this.
I was right behind the couple in the leather coats, lol. Brian talking too much didn't bother me at all. It made the show a little different than most GLA shows. Loved that he played Mae and Howl, but no American Slang.
Damn. I've been to several Gaslight Shows, a Horrible Crowes gig and a Brian Fallon solo show, and while it can be funny when he rambles on (in Stockholm he talked about how you only need women, crocodiles and koala bears and the world will be fine) this was...a bit much. He could at least have told the story without constantly going on tangents. Obviously the band got frustrated. Bless his heart, but this wasn't his best effort
Nope, just had a couple thousand people pay for the juke box, Brian, and he’s allowed to do what he wants. I’d say your 26 or younger, because your attention span is awful lol
@@djray2705 oh wow! You’ve never been to a concert? Or too old to stay awake through a little rambling. 15 WHOLE MINUTES?! i’m glad you survived long enough to come complain about it after being interested enough to watch the video lmao
I love Gaslight, but this was not a good call. Very few acts can get away with lengthy monologues and do it well. Elvis Presley was able to tell the story of his career in Vegas, or even go monologues about karate and other things in Vegas. But he'd inject humour and make it very entertaining. Brian's idol Bruce Springsteen is known for his legendary long shows and lengthy stories. But, there was music behind it and it was presented well. Brian here just sounds like one average guy talking to a bunch of people and nothing else. At least have the band play some music behind it, or rehearse a way to present it. People go to shows they spend their money for, to be entertained. Sure, you can sing and talk about some dark and personal stuff. But it has to be done in an entertaining way. Its about presentation. If he's going to do this again, present it better. Make it entertaining. This was boring and dull. Sorry Brian. It sounds like he has some issues going on. I'm sorry to hear. But let it out in your music, or talk to the audience for a minute or two. But not at length like this. Go see a psychiatrist or something to do that. The audience paid for a concert, not to be Brian's personal therapist. Also, Brian has way too much trust in people to think people won't upload this. This is the age of technology, social media, and the internet. EVERYONE is publicly scrutinized and there are plenty of people who like to exploit others for their own entertainment.
Look how much you typed… and he DOESN’T EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST. He could care less what you type. Don’t like it, don’t listen. Don’t be a Karen typing short stories about how you don’t approve. No one cares. Your opinion is just that.

Saw Brian do his solo tour years back in Portsmouth,he told some belters that night,can’t wait to see gaslight anthem in London in march🤟🤟
I am 100% sure he’s drunk. Like, might have a problem drunk. I love Brian, and I get story telling, but he is very obviously drunk.
I’m not sure why you’re offended by this.
Imagine, even drunk, you’re stillllll here watching. It’s almost like you think he cares what you want to judge him about.

This was my sign :D so stoked he played the song!
All of Toronto blame you for the 15 min diatribe! Have a look at reddit lol. It was a fun show for us though!

This is aging like
Milk since he’s been having a drinking problem and rambling at solo shows like a drunk bukowski
That’s amazing, why were people so mad that he was talking 😂
Bc they paid to see hom sing songs not 15 mins of bullshit.
I'm probably dumb, but i was never sure if Brian cursed until now.
I was actually looking forward to Brian's rants at the Boston show. Loved listening to him shit on some of the older Batman actors.
This is rough
its the best
Brain said in Detroit that the sound engineer (or someone) gave him a shit about talking 14 minutes straight during this set.
POUTINE!
@@soundjunkiesarah I hope he got good poutine 😂
Well it was a joke, because he pays that man’s bills.
I was right behind the couple in the leather coats, lol. Brian talking too much didn't bother me at all. It made the show a little different than most GLA shows. Loved that he played Mae and Howl, but no American Slang.
That made the whole night for me!
hi kaley, max and kelsey! hope you all made friends!

good jive lad!
oh no i feel like he was genuinely asking for this not to be posted haha.. :(
Is he on drugs he talked for 15 mins!?
Nope, just had a couple thousand people pay for the juke box, Brian, and he’s allowed to do what he wants. I’d say your 26 or younger, because your attention span is awful lol
@@yourdaddy9622 ughhh I’m much older than 26 and it is VERY unusual for a act to stop and have spoken word for 15 mins. He sound like he’s on coke
@@djray2705 oh wow! You’ve never been to a concert? Or too old to stay awake through a little rambling. 15 WHOLE MINUTES?! i’m glad you survived long enough to come complain about it after being interested enough to watch the video lmao
No refunds
One of the worst shows I have ever seen by anyone. To call it a trainwreck is being polite.
Best interaction I have ever saw in my entire life. Best concert ever!!
@@mikelee1906 That's too bad. Have patience, one day you'll see a good concert.
You have absolutely zero taste and it’s hilarious
