How have i never known this existed?? I've been a huge imagine dragons fan when i was younger and i've been an even bigger kendrick fan these past few years. This is such a treat
These guys did what a lot of bands don't do and made their SNL performance epic. This was probably one of the best SNL performances I've seen in a long time.
The energy in that room makes me wonder why the audience didn't just jump the stage with awesomeness. and im watching it on youtube, ironic when even i noticed a no need to applaud epic performance. The energy explodes after 2:20 the goose bumps lol.
I agree with Mal and think you must of been watching a different video. I originally saw this on SNL live and I was glued to my set! Maybe you just don't like this band or this song I dunno but in any case then you're on the wrong you tube page. I guess your mom never taught you that if you can't say something nice about something then you shouldn't say anything at all. Have a great day.
***** please, direct me to your catalog of epic "art" so that we may judge for ourselves. what's that? you don't have one? you haven't sold millions of records and toured the world? oh, nevermind then......
First of all, Pentatonix sang way better!( in my OPINION) And 2, people who say that just for hating something your stupid because they like it means the fan is the idiot. Because all of you guys like something and sweet talk about it when YOU hate something you trash it. So all of you guys should SHUT UP and let the man hate what he wants to hate!( and I agree with him)

Really. This song deserved Grammy's ROTY. The production is just brilliant, combining folkish guitar in the beginning, going dubstep in verses, and rocking the chorus. Strange but surprisingly work.

Its really strange, each member of the band looks like they are from somwhere different, and they dont look like they should go together, but they do, amazingly
I'm happy to see different genre's can work together to produce music that shakes the world. Congrats to both Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar. Well done.
Imagine Dragon fans pissed Kendrick was in it - Kendrick fans pissed there wasnt more Kendrick. Either way - its good, get over it. Their grammy performance was one for the ages.

This is about 3000x better than the studio version damn. So much more musical; I love how you can actually hear the individual notes on the guitar. I don't even really like the original version but this is terrific.
Man, imagine dragons new album smoke + mirrors better have a kendrick feature and kendricks upcoming album better have a hook sung by imagine dragon. Both are great artists in their genre, both make real music. More collaboration of both is even better.
Check out Demons. You may change your opinions (don't watch the acoustic version, though - watch the music video and pay attention to the lyrics *and* the video itself).
Johnathon Peterson The were nominated for Best New Artist at the AMA's, Best New Act at Europe's MTV Awards, People's Choice Breakthrough Artist...so there is that.
If you think this sounded shitty live you have been spoiled by the mastery of the engineers that exist in modern recording. Go back and listen to the actual record, you can hear all the work done after the vocals and instrumental tracks were layed. Still a great record to those with great ears.

The only one that tips this for me is when T.I and Swiss performed live and they were using real drums electric bass and guitar.

Really. This song deserved Grammy's ROTY. The production is just brilliant, combining folkish guitar in the beginning, going dubstep in verses, and rocking the chorus. Strange but surprisingly work.
Theres no dubstep here :P
Dinobot2468 has a Dubstep BPM an synth line
musicisgoodcp The song uses an instrument also used for dubstep, but it doesn't have 'dubstep' in it.
Listen carefully at the verses. It uses dubstep, but it's covered by big drum's sound. You can hear wub-wub on it.
Anthony Alexander Wubwubs... are not dub step, just the same instrument used in various dubstep songs...

What a performance!
I love the chorus of this song. It fills me with feels.
one of my most favorite videos of Imagine Dragons. Their drums are a complete madness!
I have watched this vid a few hundred times over the years and it never grows old. One of the best performances be a band, EVER.
I always love when Kendrick goes up to the artist he collaborated with and gives them a bro handshake that's why he's so cool
They're pretty alive. Great amount of energy is what I see.
They need to do more of these nowadays it's better to mix up and try new things, this was a perfect example!
Totally 👏👌
definitely watch their performance on the Grammy! it was perfection
This is the best SNL performance ever
You could literally listen to this 15 times in a row it's so well made and preformed its crazy.
If Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons would make more collaborations together, I'd deff listen more to Imagine Dragons! Lol
But Radioactive is good ;)
Wow, I've never gotten goose bumps from a rapper before
have you ever heard tupac?

***** Bro. I've listened to them. I rank them alongside Ye. Go listen to the College Dropout and tell me you think Kanye isn't one of the greats.

Imagine Dragons should have been nominated and won best new artist.
Yea but they releases their first studio album last year. They usually go by that
Johnathon Peterson Last year, as in 2013? Because their studio album came out in September of 2012.
All i'm saying is they haven't ever been nominated for the best new band and they should have whether in 2012 or whenever.
Johnathon Peterson The were nominated for Best New Artist at the AMA's, Best New Act at Europe's MTV Awards, People's Choice Breakthrough Artist...so there is that.
