Of the trillions of great songs ever recorded in history, "Smoko" is near the top of the list. Great music and hilarious lyrics. Big shout out goes to DEAD KENNEDYS for their influence on The Chats and thousands of other Rock Bands
I think most people underestimate just how impressive singing and playing bass is. Being the bassist AND lead vocalist at the same time is incredibly hard to do. You have to have a knack for it. The fact that Eoman is able to do this is amazing. He could've achieved so much more in more classical genres, but he (for now) chose to stick with The Chats and the Punk Rock genre. What a legend!
Happens to every band. I was in a punk band in the 90s and our 'big' song was this thing called "Goonbag", which was mostly just 2 chords and lots of shouting vague religious worship things about "The lords of goon". And we'd ALWAY get requested it. After about a year I never wanted to hear it again. But you can bet the audience wanted it. Part of why Robert Plant broke up Zepplin was being so frusturated with people only wanting to hear Stairway To Heaven.
These guys are like Nirvana and Smells like teen spirit, they play it tons and they get annoyed with it and they keep on getting the requests for it, and also it’s probably the only song that people know from them.
I love it. I’m from the eastern shore of (Maryland). The way me say our 0’s is similar to the Australian accent. I was going through withdrawals waiting for my suboxone script to come in. This song made it a little more tolerable . Thanks
Whole band is great. Can't remember his name, but the guitar player is really good. I don't see them being all that bored, like so many of the comments are talking about. Looks like they're kickin' it.
He also using a fender twin which is a super loud amp. They would of asked him to turn right down in that little room. Big amps like that dont sound as good when they arent turned up.
Lets change the lyric. I am a phyco leave me alone Stop calling me on my phone . You want me to give you some advice 😏 I am a phyco what do you want for your life.
Plays the bass while doing his thing. I wont bother telling you how difficult that is from a rhythmic pov. Love the Chats, frontman needs to sorta chill tho. Such a talented guy and hes moody af 🤣
I feel like the whole band regretted how fast he counted in
How do you tell if a drummer is knocking on your door ??
Knocking gets faster
Fucking drummers a pain in the arse
thats the punk way
They just wanted it over and done with
That's what happens when you let the bassist count you in.
the faster the better baby!!!
they sound like they're so sick and tired of this song, i don't blame them
Yeah the look like they’re tired of playing the song and it’s kinda sad
No I dis agree. They bloody love this song and are massively proud of it but are just acting cool like no boggy to be on Triple M!!!
Smoko became their Smells Like Teen Spirit. They will carry this burden their entire career.
He does not look happy, he’s thinking “ah for fuck’s sake” as he’s playing.
@@generatormsa1692 Maybe if Pub Feed does well enough in the Hottest 100, it might lift the burden somewhat
A bass line to die for.

PUNK ROCK BANDS

Someone Tell Eddie that it's called head-banging not whole body banging
Body banging is the future old head
G Perrin good exercise
So cringy
I never thought I’d even see Eddie make an attempt at head banging and I think this is some kind of magic!
Is that your final answer?
These lads are very quickly going to get sick of this track.
they already are

Shayne O'Neill nah they broke up cause John bonham passed away
Shayne O'Neill, plus y'know, Bonham dying
Just like the rest of us.
2:06 love that solo
they seemed all smoko'd out. having a band play before noon at the earliest should be outlawed.
I agree w the 2nd thang
These guys are like Nirvana and Smells like teen spirit, they play it tons and they get annoyed with it and they keep on getting the requests for it, and also it’s probably the only song that people know from them.
Well said
Yeah they’re other songs aren’t funny anyways
My favorite song from them is Identify Theft.
but yeah I agree
@@fiomader2588 there best songs prolly bus money
Bus money
I want to hear this music when fighting for my life in a moshpit on a vague European festival in Belgium again!!!!
Gotta love the guy raving in the back
Beautiful voice. I love these guys. This is what mateship and music is all about
I hope they don't get burned out. Just found out about them in the U.S and I absolutely love this band
When I first heard The Chats I was pretty much exactly like the guy at 1:04
Me to brother
That guy is one of Australia’s richest and most influential people ahahaha gotta love Australia
@@DJTOM_influential???? He’s one of Australia’s biggest wankers.
Eddie's on the bags ay
that Bunnings hat just really does it
And the Cosmic Psychos T-shirt
Just found this! From the U.K.. Love it !
That man in the back loving it makes my heart feel happy.
Eddie loves it man
0:51 lady just went: "am on smoko, so leave me alone"
That solo cut sick!
A band playing on Triple M that are never even played on Triple M.
They have no credibility
Triple J on the other hand.
funny isnt it. Eddie mockingly rocking out when his cd collection would have an eagles and a neil diamond album
Great track really brings back the old school punk style back to its roots!
When you're playing on Triple M you know you've made it lol. Good luck to ya boys.
I love it. I’m from the eastern shore of (Maryland). The way me say our 0’s is similar to the Australian accent. I was going through withdrawals waiting for my suboxone script to come in. This song made it a little more tolerable . Thanks
Who is doing the sound? Sounds like a 1960s soundboard balance!
fantastic
I love smoko
Yeah it rules!
Whole band is great. Can't remember his name, but the guitar player is really good. I don't see them being all that bored, like so many of the comments are talking about. Looks like they're kickin' it.
they got so bored of this song that the guitar player quit the band....lol
Why does the guitar sound like a sitar?
Too much high end, not enough low end.
he was using the bridge pickup with the tone rolled back
He also using a fender twin which is a super loud amp. They would of asked him to turn right down in that little room. Big amps like that dont sound as good when they arent turned up.
Loads of treble no mids and bass and like some has said fender amp
Because it's on Smoko..
Greatest song of this modern era
hahahaha.....riiiiight. 😂😂
34 degrees mentioned at exactly 00:34 lol
LMAOOO
1:04 😂😂
Auto generated subtitles is goddamn hilarious!
That was the greatest suggestion anybody's ever made
Haha würst subs ever. 1:13 "So they realize I want spiders"
Selenia line :D
oh my shit LOL
Two years passed and I’ve come across this video. Thank you for this comment, it made my day - “I’m on my time come on bye guys” 😂😂
Go Eddy!!!... rock n roll!!...
This is a 2 bob basic 3 piece punk band still learning their craft and its brilliant, bloody brilliant!
Get around these guys. Best band in Aus.
That's not violent soho.......
As mac demarco put it "it will become the soundtrack to your fever dream"
Said it before, would love to see these lads in Texas... I'd drive a whole day to Austin just to see em'!
Yessiirr
Hope you got to see them when they were in Texas not long ago
@@MysticSpank Sadly, no, I spend most of my time in Montana now... but would still love to see them live somewhere.
We love smoko😉❤️
0:49 Is the part. There is a huge difference from when they first sang it, I think that their tired of singing it. But idk
ed going off, bet he wouldnt like his kids listening to the chats lol
Owwww yes
They need a smoko
Im not into this type of music...but im into this fucking band! Im on SMOKO
They sound so Damn good
I like how the guitarist fat fingered the first lick and aggressively looks at his amp like “you son of a…”
i love king krules older stuff
They do look annoyed, honestly I prefer their other songs then this one. I’d get tired for playing a song that wasn’t meant to be popular
Porcupine’s Zucchini could be because guitar player fucked up his tone right off the bat... punk af tho
Isn’t that always the ones that blow up? I think just about every artist has a song they didn’t take seriously an it ended up helping carry them
Rock on 🤘 Punkrock
The guitarist plays slapdash from the beginning and vocal is pissed at him after fake note in 0:47
YES EDDIE!
Excellent les jeunes !!!
Look at these guys in the background takin the piss. At least the kids are creating something. Massive hit now.
IM ON SMOKO SO LEAVE ME ALONE
He doesn’t wanna play Smoko. So leave him alone
He’s on: smoko
What he wants: you to leave him alone
On fire
ian curtis y kurt cobain: smoko
????????
It took me a second to get it.
Nirvana Division
Just as good live as the record
LEAVE ME ALONE, GUYS DONT U HEAR IT
pub feed goes harder i reckon
Чаты легенды

Lets change the lyric.
I am a phyco leave me alone

You want me to give you some advice 😏
I am a phyco what do you want for your life.
I love you
Better than Silverchair.
It’s the chets
Are they on smoko?

The best band is n Australia! 👍
They phoned this performance in so bad
Matt is a young Charlie Watts
Anyone here from Lazarbeams icon series review(
These guys have a future
1:19 Did Eddie recover from the seizure?!
They defo play it super fast so they could get it over and done with xD
His haircut is on smoko
Plays the bass while doing his thing. I wont bother telling you how difficult that is from a rhythmic pov. Love the Chats, frontman needs to sorta chill tho. Such a talented guy and hes moody af 🤣
Fun fact for any Americans watching, smoko means a lunch break
Morning tea break mate for blue collar works.
Thanks for assuming Americans out of 220 odd countries would be the only ones who couldn’t translate that
Yeah, 1000th like. Time for smoko.
You can tell these guys don’t like not playing in front off a proper audience and dislike playing smoko
The guy in the background
That's punk , right there.
jvalex18 read that back. He got you 🤣
seems like they all got a nicotine headache from playing this song so much
nylon smartcard
It’s the Chet’s
Smoko
Triple Fukkin A
Wish Aus treated THE FUN THINGS this way. Savage is still the best punk song NO ONE KNOWS.
They sound so annoyed. They even sped up the song.
W
Eddie's having a seizure while they play
FootMassage from war thunder brought me here.
I'm a doggo so gimmie a bone
Oath
👍🏻💯👍🏻
I hate it when your Centrelink doesn't come through
He had a voice crack 2:20
He sounds like Johnny Rotten
Look at cc lol
Insert eye roll emoji
Honestly smoko isn’t even that good, they’ve got so many better tracks
They’ve got the clap (they’ve got the clap)
How many do you do is the best
Its My ring tone for my work number.
