    Bryan Devendorf's drumming on this performance is superhuman.

    • @FishingforFisher

      Definitely one of my biggest drumming influences.

    The drummer is a fucking machine. Goddamn great.

    • @RondaGuptonPruett
      @RondaGuptonPruett 10 років тому +15

      Could not agree more! As interesting & driving as Bryan is on the records, even more impressive live. He is mesmerizing to watch.
      I honestly think he has way more to do with what people like about this band than they realize.

    • @roncocoyeah

      John Lennon of drums. Literally. I love him

    • @41Slinger
      @41Slinger 9 років тому

      Ronda Gupton-Pruett Absolutely Agree.

    • @ILikeWafflz
      @ILikeWafflz 8 років тому +3

      +Ronda Gupton-Pruett I wish good drummers like him could get more camera time. It would really help learning drummers get an idea for what drumming is supposed to look like.

    • @RondaGuptonPruett
      @RondaGuptonPruett 8 років тому

      ILikeWafflz OMG right? As a learning drummer myself I always bitch about this.

  • @loriens7598
    @loriens7598 10 років тому +61

    Love how he freakin rocks out at the end. His voice pulverizes me.

  • @ILikeWafflz
    @ILikeWafflz 8 років тому +294

    A lot of bands, possibly even the majority of them, go through a drummer or two, and nobody really notices it since most of them are pretty similar.
    However, some bands' sound is partly defined by their drummer, and going through a drummer change would have a noticeable effect. The National is one of those bands.

    • @theeponym
      @theeponym 7 років тому +8

      R.E.M. is a good example of a drummer leaving changing their sound.

    • @cjkeough
      @cjkeough 7 років тому +6

      The Cure as well

    • @makkietakkie
      @makkietakkie 7 років тому +6

      Pearl Jam is a fine example as well. All four drummers who recorded and played live with them for longer periods of time have had a significantly different feel, but are different beasts in their own right.

    • @ILikeWafflz
      @ILikeWafflz 7 років тому +3

      Bands like Tool and Dave Matthews Band, were they to lose their drummer, would likely disband or form another band under a different name.

    • @bradwad
      @bradwad 6 років тому +10

      ano its not a drummer but when interpol lost their bass player

  • @heatherb1587

  • @musicisum0405

    I love how my friend, who had never seen The National live before, was so confused when he started screaming the lyrics. Gotta love Mr. Berninger. :)

    • @MDestron2282
      @MDestron2282 10 років тому +13

      I kinda knew who they were but this SNL show was the first time I saw them. I was already impressed but when he started screaming I jizzed my pants...... So amazing!

    • @michaelbulls5872
      @michaelbulls5872 10 років тому +1

      yes, I feel like there is truly no hope to find in this song, it's pure darkness which I love. It hits me everytime

    • @KellyOKellyComedy
      @KellyOKellyComedy 10 років тому +5

      Michael Bulls You know a band is great when they have an awesome set on TV. I feel like TV performances always fall flat but they managed not to do so. Yay band! :)

    • @RondaGuptonPruett
      @RondaGuptonPruett 10 років тому +2

      It wasn't until the 3rd time or 4th time watching this that Matt;s screaming didn't make me tear up. It's already such an intense song.

  • @toxink666
    @toxink666 10 років тому +113

    It seemed obvious that he became overwhelmed by the emotion of the song. After it's over you see him quake a bit still feeling it. I think the screaming was an attempt to finish strong and bring some closure to it all. He could barely contain himself though. Then again I'm drunk and it's 2am so who knows

    • @nufrankz
      @nufrankz 10 років тому +6

      Still gives me chills

    • @digitdean
      @digitdean 4 роки тому +3

      I forget where I heard or read this, but I remember Matt saying that because “Graceless” is a very wordy song, he only screams at the end if he remembers all the lyrics, so that the screaming is a nice little incentive to remember the lyrics. Could have just been his attempt at humor, though!

    • @KS-bo7rm
      @KS-bo7rm 3 роки тому +1

    I really wish Matt would still get scream-y on record. Haven't heard him do anything like the end of the song here since Alligator.

      In the last couple lines of the studio version, he is displaying some pretty intense vocals though

    I love the growling, The National should do that more often, it's so Nirvana shiiii.t but it so contagious. and it contrast so good from the low acoustics from the desperate shouts. That's why I love The National since the beginning

    • @SirYacob
      @SirYacob Рік тому

      It’s one of the things I miss most on newer albums. He does it some much more on sad songs and alligator, and slowly less per album. Still love their stuff but I miss the growling

    I'm a pro drummer. Personally whoever this dude is? My personal top 15 ever. Nothing necessarily difficult. Just absolutely brilliant this entire album. I put it in the Paul Cook category on bullocks. Every beat was perfection to each song. I cannot do that through one tune! Sort of like, of course Malmsteen could outplay Page. Who ya rather listen to?

    Graceless
    Is there a powder to erase this?
    Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
    You can't imagine how I hate this
    Graceless
    I'm trying, but I'm graceless
    Don't have the sunny side to face this
    I am invisible and weightless
    You can't imagine how I hate this
    Graceless
    I'm trying, but I've gone
    Through the glass again
    Just come and find me
    God loves everybody, don't remind me
    I took the medicine when I went missing
    Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen
    Graceless
    I figured out how to be faithless
    But it will be a sheme to waste this
    You can't imagine how I hate this
    Graceless
    I'm trying, but I've gone
    Through the glass again
    Just come and find me
    God loves everybody, don't remind me
    I took the medicine and I went missing
    Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen
    All of my thoughts of you
    Bullets through rotten fruit
    Come apart at the seams
    Now I know what dying means
    I am not my rosy self
    Left my roses on my shelf
    Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
    It's the side effects that save us
    Grace
    Put the flowers you find in a vase
    If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
    Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
    Grace
    There's a science to walking through windows
    There's a science to walking through windows
    There's a science to walking through windows
    There's a science to walking through windows without you
    All of my thoughts of you
    Bullets through rotten fruit
    Come apart at the seams
    Now I know what dying means
    I am not my rosy self
    Left my roses on my shelf
    Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
    It's the side effects that save us
    Grace
    Put the flowers you find in a vase
    If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the base
    Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
    Grace
    Grace
    Put the flowers you find in a vase
    If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the base
    Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
    Grace
