I always thought he said "live music, let the kids rock" but idk I'm not British lol. This song is great though I've learned to play it but I've only been playing for a month can't do the embellishing and melody like he does so well.
I was lucky enough to see Catfish and The Killers on the same day at a festival in Spain last year. Catfish played at maybe 6pm, Killers at about 11pm... And Brandon brought him on stage to open this song! Absolutely made my night
I was shown this video by a very dear friend who loved the original, but was crazy for this version. Sadly he passed away 5 years ago and this just randomly popped up here again. Amazing how music can bring you back to some of the best and worst moments of your life. Love who you can while you can.
Still can't believe that editor at NME gave their album only a 4/10 and said Van sounded like a drunk Luke Pritchard from The Kooks.. Poor journalism.. so glad they've made it!
and now they're kissing the bands ass featuring them in the magazine m and interviewing the crap out of Van haha finally realized how talented they are
***** Yes, I think they've made up for it by posting an insight article on the band touring Australia and describing how Van wanted to carry on with the show despite his voice being fcked.. It was a nice read.. Circa Waves too.. Heard them on XFM about a year ago and now NME sort of started worshiping them out of a sudden!
Not really.. it's been about 10 years since their debut album.. they couldn't have carried on with the same tempo.. not many bands can, especially in the indie industry.. Kings of Leon maybe, but they're more internationally known.. We'll see.. The debut albums are usually the best but then a lot of artists/bands sort of fade away.
Martin S TBH the fact that rag gave them a poor review only endears me to them, remember when NME said the Enemy were gunna be that band of the decade! haha. This cover is quality!
Been working on the chords, this sounds right to me: Capo on 2 Verse G - Em - D - C Chorus C/G - G - D - D (x2) C/G - G - D (1/2 bar) - B7 (1/2 bar) - Em (1/2 bar) - G (1/2 bar) C - C - D - D Ignition G - C - Em - D Throw a few hammer-ons in there and you're set
Jordan Simmonds You can see most of them in the video. In the verse he releases and hammers in to the E string on the G chord, then the D string on the EM, then he hammers on to the high e on the third fret on the D chord, and with the C at first he only plays the a string and hammers on the D on the 2nd fret and B on the first fret then releases the B again. I'm horribly bad at explaining things so i don't know if you'll understand that lol. just mess about with them and some palm muting you should get it.
pretty much all correct except for the last chord in the little 1/2 bar section from the chorus. Should go C/G - G - D (1/2 bar) - B7 (1/2 bar) - Em (1/2 bar) - D (1/2 bar)
I've been watching this non stop over the past week. I think he sings with such passion it's uncanny compare to what you normally expect out of live music
Tommy Corsello I have listened to this so much over the last week. I play guitar but feel shadowed by my 'older' brother. this is my inspiration. and oh yeah I fucking love #catfishandthebottlemen I saw them at #communityfestival2017 they were amazing.!!
Lauren D'Souza So lucky! Went to see them live and was planning on hanging around cause they seem to enjoy meeting fans, but my legs hurt and I was so tired from the crazyness in there I just went home xD. They're amazing, don't think I'll be able to find a band that is this amazing.
I used to knock round with the band in 2011 and used to watch them play infront of 15 people in the local bars/pubs Now this video has 8.7 million views 😂 I remember them sending me demos. Proud of you guys! X

God damn... confidence... this guy reminded me why live music will always own my heart. Love the recovery of the verse and its the spirit of performance right there... it what we ALL want bro. What a journey!!!
this is honestly such a great cover, very well sung and played. seriously can not get over it, love love love love it. it doesn't even ruin it that he stuffed up?? van is an amazing musician, as are the rest of the band.
I listen to this at least once a week and the " oh I sang the wrong verse, does anyone mind if I just carry on? Live music , what the kids want? Alright carry on" has just become a favorite part of this song for me 🤣😍😍 please come back to australia so I can see you live!!!

I literally just noticed that and terrible news! I’ve been hearing to it for almost three years on there. I noticed like awhile ago but I thought I had deleted it from my playlist. 😭
British people perform with such passion and professionalism. Their guitar playing is top notch. This guy and the kooks blow me away every time in this format
i'm not jealous at all, i'm a fucking huge catfish fan. do you play guitar or have any musical talent? i do and i can tell you now he is literally an average player he just plays basic chords
I think I just watched this like 12 times... great voice... great arrangement... great recovery... great attitude... really creative tight guitar skills... I wish i could see this kid play a J-45 for a couple of hours of songs!
Honestly, i've been listening to this cover ever since i found out about it and it's still amazing every time i listen to it. Thank you so much for this.
Van is such an amazing musician, he never disappoints. This cover is fantastic, so as the new stuff by Catfish and The Bottlemen. It's really building to see such a young band doing such great things. I want them to come to Poland so badly :ll
through it all I was like holy crap this is so good and then he played ignition and I cried. Van is so FREAKING good . I met him Saturday and I can honestly say he is so humble and awesome GOD DAMMIT VAN YOU STOLE MY HEART
I'm gonna make shit right. Great improv, this is truly one of the best covers I've heard, so good in fact the killers brought him on stage during their concert, which has got to have been awesome for van to get that recognition. WHAT A JOURNEY!!!
having heard the killers largely when I was a kid, naturally hearing their songs take me back. coupled with this dude's cover of it, sends chills down my spine. I feel so happy-sad that im 18 now but not 10 anymore. still stuck in the 2006.
hahah i know exactly how you feel only I was 18 in 2006. The album 'Sam's Town' wasn't greatly appreciated by critics at the time but I never agreed with that sentiment, I found it just as good as Hot Fuss. Anyway, great taste for a 10 year old :)
dudemanismadcool I was 16 in 06, and Sam's Town was probably my favorite album in High School. The playlist was just so flawless and put together so well.
I think this is my favourite like A version and that’s a big call. Just love the casual-ness and groove of this. Don’t know how he got into such a state of flow in such a formal setting but I’m here for it.
I must admit I cringed when I heared his fumble on the radio this morning.... but watching it here it's not so bad. Excellent recovery! Why he ask for permission to carry on? It's almost like he doesn't know that he's owning it and can do whatever the hell he likes :)
It might have been because they don't play these live in the morning, and he was probably seeing if they wanted him to restart for a clean copy. If you ever see a clock, or one of the screens that Alex has they usually seem to record them around 11 oclock, probably the day before.
tskeates you know as an amatuer guitarist that is my biggest nightmare, to stumble or forget where you're at. He did well, it was what the kids wanted :)
Was looking through my old spotify playlists and noticed a greyed-out song. Had to look up what it was because I couldn't remember it by name; then the first chord hit and memories just came flooding back. I'm gonna keep this blank spot in that playlist just for that!
seen Catfish in Toronto the Worn flints opened for them mind blown but then Catfish did a quick show but it was bloody brilliant !!! would love to see them again ~~
i was crying listening to this thinking of a friend who just passed on, and then the remix to ignition happened and i started laughing. thank you ❤ lol
Just imagine, you're sitting there with your ex talkin about how your nail broke real drunk. He's got more to say. So you tell him the drink tastes real nice. Then he walks out the front to take a piss and you turn on this song for comfort. Everything feels fine because you have the music. That's what this song means to me. Forget everything and listen How much gratitude I have for this song you will never know.
+CN R Really? I'm flattered but honestly I'm not entirely sure I can do much for your spirit. I'm fairly unreliable, don't give good advice and I consume more honey than any bear should. Are you still certain you want me as your spirit animal?
JUST DISCOVERED THIS NOW IN 2024 WOW. My fave song of all time and this cover breathes brand new life into it. It feels like im a teenager and Sam's Town just came out all over again
this was one of my favorite songs of all time 6 years ago in high school for at least a year and then they took it off spotify- only now rediscovering and o my god it’s as good as ever
the reason that van made a mistake was because he originally planned to sing 'are you gonna be my girl' by jet, but triple j said no because no one is interested in jet anymore, so he had to learn this song quickly and he barely knew the lyrics but nonetheless he made this song sound so unique and different to the original, it's so refreshing to listen to. he is a musical genius
Love this guy, great singer, and love how he got the wrong verse yet handled it like a legend, it added authenticity and charm. Plus I think he too has great teeth :)

Yeah he said he sang the wrong second verse 😂
The killers played when you were young twice at lollapalooza lol

Legend has it that he's still adding songs to that chord progression to this day
hehehehe
YES
Best comment
What’s the name of the second song he sings?
@@jlrolling Ignition by R Kelley. Dudes a creep but that song is a classic.
The way he sings "ya never returned that caaaaallll" blows my mind
Sooo much like the bit in 7 when he goes "but you know I'm never hooooooome"
Jammez YES OH MY GOD MY HEART STOPS EVERY TIME HE DOES THAT WITH HOARSE VOICE
It sends shivers down my spine
3:51-3:58

I watch this every single year every month
I think it's amazing on how he fucks up the 2nd verse but carries in as if it never happened, that is talent
(Verse after 1st chorus)
lol
DannyPGaming mm
Damn i thought that was intentional or some staged shit. Pure talent!
Bentara Alam Gumilang lmfao
the "i pull up" lyric was done flawlessly. it's one of my favorite moments in any killers song. when he does it, it overwhelms me with joy.

kathleen hogan catfish , they’re incredible
Catfish and the Bottlemen. Fantastic live. Look for their songs Cocoon, 2All, and Twice.
"I wanna breathe that fire againnnn" is my favourite part of this absolutely incredible cover
the fuck up makes it so real
The face he makes at the camera after he messes up 😂 he's so cute
Would love to meet Van in person.. He's such a chill dude
i met him and can confirm this! nicest group of guys ever. super humble and down to earth and fantastic live.
Kyle Williams always, always..
Kyle Williams he is incredibly humble and friendly, especially to his fans. So lucky that i met him before they became big over here
Lauren D'Souza So lucky! Went to see them live and was planning on hanging around cause they seem to enjoy meeting fans, but my legs hurt and I was so tired from the crazyness in there I just went home xD. They're amazing, don't think I'll be able to find a band that is this amazing.
Kyle Williams I've met him and he is very chill and easygoing, but also so enthusiastic and outgoing. He's a good lad. Fun to talk to.

This is so wholesome. I recently brought reading tickets to see them, its nice to know there were genuine people from the very beginning
I HAVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES I DONT EVEN MIND VAN GETTING THE VERSE WRONG I NEVER FORWARD IT I LISTEN TO IT THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH I LOVE VAN SO MUCH JESUS
Congratulations. You watched a video in it's entirety.
Well I don't mind, if you don't
dang fan girl muchh. jk. hahaha you're awesome.
In fact I know the words to all the things he says after he messes up also
I love u too jess brake
I love musicians like this. Just having fun, not taking things too seriously, it's what music should be like.
The way he played off that mistake was iconic
On the corner of main street

Good ole days are on this man, the restless heart the promised land

I can't handle this, this kid is too talented to be real, really good cover, love the killers and he made a very good cover
God damn... confidence... this guy reminded me why live music will always own my heart. Love the recovery of the verse and its the spirit of performance right there... it what we ALL want bro.
What a journey!!!
this is honestly such a great cover, very well sung and played. seriously can not get over it, love love love love it. it doesn't even ruin it that he stuffed up?? van is an amazing musician, as are the rest of the band.
its pretty good, saying its the best is a huge stretch..
You haven’t seen many covers or you’re pretty young.
It's not the part you mess up it's the part you play after

I listen to it at least once a week too! Aww... I’m glad you see the same thing that I do.
Van is such a legend. He isn't like the rest of the artists who are cocky and don't enjoy themselves unlike van. Best upcoming artist at the moment

Oh, I really need this. I don't speak english so... Thanks!
❤️🩹
that ooooh when he was tuning his guitar right at the start im dead
I'm depressed that this isn't on spotify anymore
I noticed that and that's why I came here! Is the R Kelly thing?
wait WHAT 😭
I literally just noticed that and terrible news! I’ve been hearing to it for almost three years on there. I noticed like awhile ago but I thought I had deleted it from my playlist. 😭
I was beginning to think this was a case of the Mandela effect or something... I could have sworn I had listened to it on Spotify
I just found out today that it wasn’t on Spotify and I am in pain
Awesome cover!!! Totally made it his own and I thought it was absolutely adorable when he messed up in the middle!
British people perform with such passion and professionalism. Their guitar playing is top notch. This guy and the kooks blow me away every time in this format
His voice, guitar skills and hair are amazing!!!
Greg Anderson his hair makes him look like Jay from the inbetweeners tbh
***** more like Suck it and See days before the quiff you know
+Harry Mullen guitar skills? he's a very average guitar player mate
+Noire are you being serious? he's amazing - why do you have to bring negativity? stop being so jealous and just be happy for him!
i'm not jealous at all, i'm a fucking huge catfish fan. do you play guitar or have any musical talent? i do and i can tell you now he is literally an average player he just plays basic chords
his voice makes me melt everytime
He's only 21 years old. This kid is going to be really good when hes 26-30, hes already great.
Is he actually only 21? I was so sure he was 22, at least ... He's great anyway!
+Aoife he's now 23 :)
Kennice Leisk Thanks :)
Aoife no problem!
Kennice Leisk wow he aged 2 years in 6 months? Crazy how nature do dat.
I think I just watched this like 12 times... great voice... great arrangement... great recovery... great attitude... really creative tight guitar skills... I wish i could see this kid play a J-45 for a couple of hours of songs!
live music what the kids want
Honestly, i've been listening to this cover ever since i found out about it and it's still amazing every time i listen to it. Thank you so much for this.
Live music is never perfect and that's the beauty of it! Solid cover!
Van is such an amazing musician, he never disappoints. This cover is fantastic, so as the new stuff by Catfish and The Bottlemen. It's really building to see such a young band doing such great things. I want them to come to Poland so badly :ll
Maaaan, I hope this makes it to the CD because I would buy it just for this, winning.
The way he carries on after making that mistake makes it that much better
Live music what the kids want!
,kk,
"live music, what the kids want"
This makes me appreciate the song more. Without all the over the top production you can see what a beautiful melody it is.
it's pretty clear in the original tho...
Me too
"I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soaking my spine"... Just, wow ❤️
this is one of my favorite covers ever.....he's so talented it's unbelievable
Still the greatest like a version ever in my opinion. I need catfish to come back
DMAs Believe is superb too

If you ever see a clock, or one of the screens that Alex has they usually seem to record them around 11 oclock, probably the day before.
Toby Wild that's true, some of the artists probably can't make it there at 7 in the morning so just record it the day before
tskeates you know as an amatuer guitarist that is my biggest nightmare, to stumble or forget where you're at. He did well, it was what the kids wanted :)
tskeates That was kinda call what he did.
this is just so comforting for some reason
It's perfect, The Killers and Catfish and the bottlemen :')
fuckin facts !!!!!
Lovely Mafs Such perfection
Don't forget R. Kelly
Lazy vampire and they were on stage together the other day :')
its been almost 2 yrs and this is still gold
Oh dear lord, I am in love with his voice, this is such a good cover!!
Was looking through my old spotify playlists and noticed a greyed-out song. Had to look up what it was because I couldn't remember it by name; then the first chord hit and memories just came flooding back. I'm gonna keep this blank spot in that playlist just for that!
van handled that like a boss
army!
+VOICED OUT HELLO
no shit why are armys everywhere for god's sake
+please stan 9muses ha
he's a boss
Still 7 years on so amazing how you pick yourself up and leave us with a lasting memory
I love that whenever he does a mash up, he doesn't use the entire song.
seen Catfish in Toronto the Worn flints opened for them mind blown but then Catfish did a quick show but it was bloody brilliant !!! would love to see them again ~~
Me and my best friend now always go ‘live music, what the kids want’ when we say something wrong 😀 love this cover xx
Omg that’s the best inside joke. I need friends like that now
your sound engineers are excellent
today marks two YEARS since i saw catb live and i still love & miss them so much
This could be one of the best covers, ever. So simple.
Best cover I've ever heard, hands down. CATB are too good.
God this is good. Van seems like the type of guy I'd like to get drunk with.
Sameee! 🎵
the tone of this guitar, is scratching in my ear where i never knew is itchy. Thankyou mannnn
this is pure gold and so soothing omg I'm so investid with this band I love them so much
I've never seen someone make a mistake in such a wonderful way before. What a fantastic cover.
Please put this back on Spotify!
This is gold, pure gold.
I like this cover because it's still true to The Killers' version, but Van still makes it his own. That's a good cover.
hes so fucking adorable
Kennedy Cianci your not
Kennedy Cianci You're perfect. Don't fret over awful people.
Chill out

“He doesn’t have nice teeth like Brandon Flowers” LMAOO I feel you. Great cover btw
i was crying listening to this thinking of a friend who just passed on, and then the remix to ignition happened and i started laughing. thank you ❤ lol
what a freaking cover! Its like he placed a brand new fresh outfit on “read my mind” without losing its essence 🤘🏼
Just imagine, you're sitting there with your ex talkin about how your nail broke real drunk. He's got more to say. So you tell him the drink tastes real nice. Then he walks out the front to take a piss and you turn on this song for comfort. Everything feels fine because you have the music. That's what this song means to me. Forget everything and listen
How much gratitude I have for this song you will never know.
One of my favorite covers!! Plus that was probably the greatest way I've ever seen someone handle a mistake, gotta love Van.
I keep coming back to this video years after years, there is something healing about it :D
I just can't get over this song. I actually had never listened to Catfish and the Bottlemen before nd now I'm obssesed
Love this cover forever! 💚💜💚💜
I have to come back and listen to it every year!!! 😍🥰
ignition fits in real good tho
love that part just gives a good vibe at the end
Ammar Hamzi
shame it hasnt really aged well with all the r kelly controversy
Why?? 😂
It makes me cringe now unfortunately because R Kelly is a piece of s***
Watching this makes me so happy he got to perform this song live with The Killers
I looked up talent in the dictionary and yeah I really like this guy he's really good.
+Bear Boy you're my spirit animal bear boy.
+CN R Really? I'm flattered but honestly I'm not entirely sure I can do much for your spirit. I'm fairly unreliable, don't give good advice and I consume more honey than any bear should. Are you still certain you want me as your spirit animal?
+Bear Boy it pretty much sounds like me.
+CN R I'm glad, it seems I am a perfect fit. Whenever you need some spirit animal advise, I will respond accordingly.
harder asking the real questions
JUST DISCOVERED THIS NOW IN 2024 WOW. My fave song of all time and this cover breathes brand new life into it. It feels like im a teenager and Sam's Town just came out all over again
i need a full version of ignition ASAP. van is absolutely brilliant !
his voice changes soooo much from speaking to singing, i love this man!
I love the "bounce bounce bounce bounce..." I'm cackling oh god
this was one of my favorite songs of all time 6 years ago in high school for at least a year and then they took it off spotify- only now rediscovering and o my god it’s as good as ever
the reason that van made a mistake was because he originally planned to sing 'are you gonna be my girl' by jet, but triple j said no because no one is interested in jet anymore, so he had to learn this song quickly and he barely knew the lyrics but nonetheless he made this song sound so unique and different to the original, it's so refreshing to listen to. he is a musical genius
What a load of shit
Acquiesce1999 Yeah that's a crock of bullshit mate nice try though
I'm interested in Jet... Would've loved to hear that cover.
+Alex Trowell what interview is it?
+Sophie D he's not lying if you guys new about the band before they got big you would know.
Van McCann is an absolute legend even with a wobble he pulls it out of the hat CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT 👍😜🐼
why is youtube only counting my views?
Seen them live, probs only band worth seeing to reignite a nostalgic dose of 90s feel good sensations
My favorite cover of all time. I listen to this everyday I love it lol
Just goes to show even some of the best screw up sometimes so people shouldn't feel discouraged when they screw up.
Lucas Holl exactly
cute that he mixed verses up!! no don't mind..........sounds awesome
what is love at the end of video gets me smiling all the time...
Love this guy, great singer, and love how he got the wrong verse yet handled it like a legend, it added authenticity and charm. Plus I think he too has great teeth :)
