Whatever racket Bernard made with his guitar was divine, to say the least. Man... what a brilliant guitarist.

[@Hani-ug2zr]

the cello really holds the music together

[@jenniferdean3191]

Ha!!

[@yorkellic]

LOL

[@よね-s1g]

やっぱバーナードバトラーカッコいい

[@chiplawson5491]

Brett on this performance in a 2023 interview: "Our first ever TV performance was terrible. We were all out of tune and this sound man came up afterwards and said "well you messed that up didn't you?!" And he was right, it was so flat.

[@michaelmoraga2926]

Whoever mixed the sound is a criminal.

[@davebishopcomedy]

@@michaelmoraga2926late show was notorious for it even made Jeff Buckley sound shite think the stone roses blew the pa too

[@sergiocosta_1975]

The mix is awful

[@mojopin1997]

One of the greatest debut singles.

[@ChainNonSmoker]

This is what the Beatles originally wanted it to sound like.

[@MarcioSilva-ssiillvvaa]

Wittiest comment in UA-cam history.

[@thehappyhunter4241]

Still sound great...dirty, grungy...i love it! 😮

[@bencolemanart]

Good grief, did they piss the sound engineer off? He's crucifying them!

[@劉桂輔]

so pure, so nice

[@sebastianorlandozepedagall1435]

So young, so gone...

[@tomseddon7907]

This is the best version - or the worst - not sure which, but it's now my favourite anyway

[@Monkeyboy1975]

That base is bonkers! Classic though

[@jenniferdean3191]

Totally lol!

[@lemonpie9761]

[@VictorCajal]

Wooooow!

[@fragmented_fragrance]

I love your eyes, Bret

[@SiameseDream97]

thanks

[@JPVanderbuilt]

Great band, but the audio is terrible

[@edwardbliss8931]

The cello represents the wiggling and head swiveling Brett Anderson does in the video

[@painiscupcake5433]

I'll be honest with you, it sounded great. I could use a bit more cello though.

[@kashird2277]

You know, when you think about it, they are pretty good, I think. But only when you really think about it, you know.

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

All I hear is Brett and a bass guitar.

[@muzzymuzzmuzz1]

Can't hear the guitar Bernard. Can you turn it up a bit? Ta

[@jasperhalco871]

Good performance but Butler's guitar tone is dreadfully too distorted here - a good sound mixer would've EQ'd it to get rid of the harshness and add some more clarity

[@jonnyhaw]

It needs more cello

[@davesealey8517]

More cowbell!

[@ph43draaa]

Lol the cursed audio

[@Problembeing]

As rough as arseholes. Love it.

[@drwps.]

man lol

[@rodvicious1985]

Y el ingeniero de sonido???

[@verodavila3096]

Se fue de sabático 😎

[@bonelesskim1465]

I want Bret’s shirt

[@MsFuzzipoo]

As a teen I always wanted the clothes from the male leads of my favorite bands... as an adult woman: I _still_ want those clothes.

[@yorkellic]

@@MsFuzzipoo I'm a teen who wants their clothes too 😭😭

[@klaustrovian]

I want his underwear….

[@yorkellic]

@@klaustrovian 😭😭

[@ralphabetsoup]

Someone didn't like Bernard's tone...

[@MrShoecake]

Where the river bends

[@jaznightshade8124]

Have a listen to Uk alternative rock band Dark Electronic Fields new single Radioactive, a simliar sound to Suede on the single.

[@drwps.]

​@SevenOfNine-7 wow hold up bro lol

[@RajHK8]

Sound engineer: the drowners, huh? How about I drown out the guitar. *cranks bass and microphone up*

[@warrenmilford6848]

Weird sound mix by the TV folks.

[@southcityman]

What happened lmao

[@chefdavidhill]

This has to be the worst live mix I have ever heard!😂

Another victim of The Late Show's amateur level producers.
