keyboard guy plays the bassline, bassist plays a modulated loop, guitarist blows his guitar, drummer is half asleep and the singer hits every single note the album version contains and it all sounds phenomenal. Great soundboard mix too.
this is poetry.
hah, that's exactly a depiction of this performance))) lol
Top 3 of theirs for me....I get lost in it. When I hear it live in person I go bonkers, like possessed
You forgot the drummer looks like Jesus.
Keyboard guy playing the baseline and holding a beer! Haha
“She took my heart, I think she took my soul” will always be my favorite part of this song!
It's funny because some lyrics are just amazing. This is one of the top ones. The other on I hold in high regard is "I will be calmer than cream, making maps out of your dreams" - TV on the Radio (Young Liars). Also "I will turn those screams to rhymes" "And I'll be cashing in each time!" - TNAF (backslide). God I love a great lyric :)
Agreed
I love that part too. I considered tattoo’ing it on myself
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own😭
I love “You keep on crying, baby I bleed you dry” ... That hits hard
thank GOD for these guys parents..
Alfredo Vigo Thank this guys grandparents for his parents
+KaptainKokosnoed well no because you will have to thank both sets of grandparents and they had no control when it came to Leon meeting his wife and thus creating half of the gene pool that kings of Leon have. so no i will not thank the grandparents
But their grandparents can also be the parents of their parents, in theory... And you know they're from the south everyone is having sex with their sister and shit
Lol rock musicians usually become who they are despite parents not because of them
@@samjohn5639 Thanking anyone for anything like that is completely weird anyway lol. This thread is boomer vibes
this may legit be the best song i have ever heard
the thing i love about them is that they sound the same way live as they do on a recorded album track.
Abdul Rashid This version is 100x better in my opinion
I'd also suggest you go listen to John mayer to get the same live vs recorded feeling
I'd also suggest you go listen to John mayer to get the same live vs recorded feeling
I was just going to post the same sentiment.
Its because they all use the same exact equipment they used when recording as they do when playing live. That and they're just one of the most tight playing bands on the planet.
That man who’s putting his mouth on the guitar to make it sound like that deserves anything he wants that shit was heavenly. Overall perfect performance this is crazy
He's a Beast!
Fr man gave me chills with headphones on @@patrickfarrell5615
This song hits deeper than I want it to. The distance, the depths, the loneliness and disturbance of the inevitable sea crashing upon me.
play
@@brianofarrell4982 I do
Agreed 👍
Damn, your comment got so poetic out of nowhere.
I'm speechless..... what an amazing band.
Pure brilliance!! ❤
You are without speech
And amazing brothers.
Watched them live this song specifically it was something that I will never forget
Murray field Edinburgh my hometown first stadium gig
Still listening in 2023 and it continues to be an absolutely mesmerizing sound
Exactly….💜💜💜🤘
2024

2024 me too! I have listened to and watched this a million times. I love them...
It is mesmerizing ❤
Still listening to it in2024
Over 12 years later and this song still is second to none
ruclips.net/video/P8cLj0bhtCE/видео.html
Exactly 💯
Their music is timeless. Play it 20 yrs from now and it will still rock 😘
In 5yrs it will be 20 years old 😂
These gentlemen are pure gods. Guitar played by mouth, keyboardist with a beer. Unreal live sound.
The sexiest song I've ever heard. I shiver every time I hear it...
That's a nine year old comment but I'm sure it's just as true today. I was scrolling through the comments to see if anybody else thinks this is the sexiest song ever. Not many people say it, but maybe they don't realise that that is why they like it. :)
Easily the best band in my generation where will you find vocals like these . Such talent
nocando
His vocals are sick!
Drummer on 1:04 is like: "Can't wait to get home, play my metal shit..."
haha, these guys are awesome!
That's exactly what I think every time I see him play. Like he has to have a metal band on the side that no one knows about. If he doesn't, he should definitely get one.
this is definitely accurate lol
My favorite Kings song. So fucking good.
mine too
ZildjianGuy Man my fav kings of leon song too!!
So fucking good!!!
ZildjianGuy Man knn
I really like “trunk”
This song makes me feel like im brokenhearted and walking alone in a dark spooky town...anyone else feels like that ?
No; it makes me feel like I'm eating a corned beef sandwich inside a spherical concrete sculpture in a mid sized city in eastern Europe.
But also yes. :)
It's a song about being a vampire. 2000 years, bleed you dry, run from the sun...
@@TheRepairandresaleguy artists use lies to tell the truth. -V per Vendetta-
That's just every KOL song
Singing into a guitar pickup is always a mega power move
It's not for rookies LoL
Anyone still listening to this in 2021? This song should main event a Super Bowl half time show could you imagine the pop of the crowd and the sound Matthew makes on that guitar inside of a stadium would be amazing
Best Vampire song ever
his voice God damn
Right??
🔥🔥🔥
Caleb Very underrated Vocalist, incredible live voice
Gotta admit, the first time I heard this song, I was blown away. Beautiful song. Great live performance.
One of the best voices in rock if you ask me
Absolutely. He spared not a note and absolutely shredded it. Love when the artist sticks to almost the same notes and melodies as the studio version. This is super perfection.
Hats off to the guy's. They made a live version better than studio.
If only it was on Spotify
It’s so good when real musicians are heard on huge platforms.
Still listening to this in 2024! I love these guys, the sound is AMAZING!!!
His voice is insane! Exactly like the album and amazing band🔥
The amount of the talent in this band is ridicoulosly high.
Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplight is swaying and the phone lines are down
Floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying
Baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer...
You shimmy-shook my boat
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me
Where am I now
Baby where do I sleep
Feels so good but I'm old
Two thousand years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer...
Absolutely love this sing and didn't know he was eating his guitar for the great effects of the song...awesome !
Thnx
you shimmy shook my *bone*
@@valhalla7408 it’s definitely boat you can hear him emphasise the T at the end
What a masterpiece.. Totally underrated group..
they are world famous...i do not think you understand the word underrated lol
kudos to the sound engineer/s . amazing band.
+monksax The unsung heroes!
Just put a decent set of headphones on and listen to the magic of the engineers!!
Thanks we don;t get much love!
tendervittles doobiestein
It may go unnoticed by the casuals but when the band and the folks at the soundboard pin it. You are gods eternal.
martiansarepunk band sounds sexy af mixwise, no one bats an eye. Bands sound like shit, can't hear certain things or something's to loud. Audience loses their shit. Can't win.
Crowd didn’t even know where they were, what a special concert to be at.
this song is pure magic
one of the best songs ever...
I FEEL THIS DUDES VOICE ALL IN MY SOUL LIKE WTF
That crowd has no idea what they just witnessed 😳. Live Closer from KOL that was absolutely nailed! Close your eyes and you can swear it's studio recorded! Outfreakinstanding!
don't blame the crowd, you can tell they want to move but i've read there is a terrible culture of security threatening the crowd during these tv performances of being booted if they enjoy themselves
There is something in this song which makes it specific, different, it moves me to another place and that's why I can't be cured of this sound and I don't want to, even if I have completely different music taste.
you nailed the feeling i have
Marta Hellerowa amen!
Amen brother
Even though this song has age on it, it is still my favorite song to this day. I love the gravel and emotion Caleb poured into these lyrics, I can feel his emotions through this song and I feel so much from it!!So eerily haunting yet beautiful tragic all the same time. And the guitar sound just makes the lyrics feed into it, like you can hear the pain. I love it! Kings of Leon you guys do not get the nationwide recognition that you all deserve! #numberonefan
Of course it has age on it, 2000 years of playing taking its toll
My fav song as well. Just saw them in Houston last weekend for the 6th time and they still amaze me how well they sound live.
But isn't there only 4 members. Which one is the 5th? The guy playing the keyboard?
@@jenivettebigham7060 Yeah I’m not sure because I’ve only ever known of 4 myself.
Just means that you have taste in music forget what others think
They sound amazing live. I love it when a band can sound as good live as they do in the studio. Chevelle also sounds amazing live.
StylezMakesVideos AM were great live at Austin City Limits too. Was there and it was amazing ^^
what if i told you , good bands sound better live than they do in the studio .
Chevelle rocks
i like chevelle but they suck live
+Ralph Livingston yeah, no they don't.
Still one of the most beautiful songs i ever heard
man this guy has such an orgasmic voice.. Kings of Leon u guys are mesmerising !!
My favourite live performance of any song...
The bass guitar plays the lead which I find awesome.
Made cooler by the fact the keyboard plays the bass.
That cool as fuck sound in the intro? Thats a guy singing into his guitar ofc.
The drummer may aswell be a metronome, timing is perfect the whole way through.
And well, the lead singer, I needn’t even say anything....
Truly incredible
This is so much more than a song. This is an experience. It makes you feel things. This is music at its pure, delicious, beautiful best.
omg. he sounds even better live. just wow.
Просто нет слов, чтобы описать, как трогает душу эта композиция!
True... The more false-love-experience, the more it hurts during listening to...
Хочется танцевать как стриптизерша, эта песня so sexy
Only one word to describe this performance. Phenomenal.
i swear I've watched this a hundred time ,
This band is on a whole nuther level !!
hauntingly beautiful
that's the right terms indeed! :)
There's something that feels so good about music that evokes such a strong melancholy. It aches a certain way that feels good. It's a way to bleed out your sadness in a controlled burn. Nothing life ending or terrible happens, but yet you get to feel so strongly. Songs like this have a way of showing you there's an ache you don't even know you need to let out. Maybe you just need to be reminded you're still alive and you can still feel deeply. Let it out, feel every beat of it.
The best voice in the world that's singing nowaday.
Hes great. But Maynard James Keenan is !!! "" OPINION"
Possibly man, possibly
Floyd ish. Although he has a good voice and great band not best in business by a long shot.
Eddie Veder
Floyd ish in my opinion, it was Chris Cornel. He will be missed greatly
Are you sure this isn’t a recording so fucking good live
Garry W88 fr
i keep on coming back to this
The band that will write music history !!!
KOL play studio quality live. That is very rare in present music. They are one of ten all time rock music.
+Lex Villain to a T bro
monksax
haha wwhat
Radiohead is better.
@@forgottengrooves6073 Radiohead is just a mediocre
Love the bass riffs in this song!
THIS
IS
PURE
ART
One of my fave songs of all time ♥️🙏🏻
How did the US public miss this band in the first place?...trust the Europeans to give this fantastic music the airplay that it so rightfully deserves
Because these fellows had the misfortune of living outside Nashville, TN who openly snubs anything NOT country music related. SHAMEFUL! Have seen then both times they brought their concert "home" and it is an unbelievable vibe in Nashville when they are "home"....Mechanical Bull was an incredible show as always!
Good to hear, at least they are now getting the recognition they deserve. I still think these guys are one of the best bands out there, so much feeling and soul in the music
I agree, they don't get the recognition they deserve. I'm always sitting here like do people not hear what I'm hearing?!? Some of the best work I believe I've ever heard in my 23 years of life.
pr3ciouso I fell in love with "Closer" song, when I watched with True Blood video. Amazing... everything fits, specially the lyrics!!!!!!!
María Martínez Ruiz Closer is amazing… my faves are Birthday.. Revelry.. Beach Side.. and Mcfearless they're are just phenomenal
That's their best song. I'll die on this hill.
Still one of the most touching song ever to me
That. Voice though !
The boys are ON FORM!! 🔥💯
I love this! Flawless
Boss!!
For me Best song they’ve ever released. Heart bleeds every time
This has to go down in history as one of the best sounding live performances ever!
THIS is their best song
💝Cette musique est la perfection de l’érotisme ! L’élégance c’est, j’en suis convaincue une forme d’art.
Cant get enough of this song.. Sounds just like on the record. I would be nuts if i were in that crowd.
Absolutely fantastic cover love this band
Why are they so perfect live...
Watched them play this on Sunday night with the same excellent level of skill and spot on sound just like listening to the album
Kings of Leon have grown on me year after year, saw them at the 02 earlier this year, absolutely incredible unique band, the definition of quality music.
I also saw them at the O2 they were brilliant as always 😀
One of the most criminally underrated bands of my lifetime
ICONIC
The unusual timing on the drums kills me every time. An outstanding highlight in a time where a dull beat is used in every song.
Jesus Christ this group is amazing
Anyone else heard "GODDAMMIT" at 0:14?
I know I’m 5 years late but yessss 😂
the goosebumps are real with this performance
his voice touched my heart :')
I like this better than the studio version. Especially the solo
vedant agarwal Solo is goals
genius guitar sound , genius bassline , pure genius song
The most handsome man... Love his voice 😍😍😍 !!
Wow, what a performance...
Such a badass song.
Even in 2021 this blows me away. This is my all time favourite KoL song, which is impressive given all the great tracks they have.
Love the sound he's making with the bass ... so mystical!
goosebumps every time Mat screams into the humbucker!!!!!!!
That mouth guitar sound is siiiiiick 🔥
Listen to this song everyday. Watch every video of this song. What can I say this song has lyrics and music that make my hair stand up. Don't care that years go by Kings of Leon this is your best song ever. I live in Florida and would love to see them soon.
Absolutely addicted to this song.
I just cant stop listening... in love with song and his voice
I think this is one of there best tunes. It’s simple and timeless classic
Closer is my fav from the whole albm
I agree. It's my favorite KOL's song.
2019 and still loving this!
If I were the bass player I would have looped the phrase and went for a coffee :-P
That would've have been funny if he'd do that. I can imagine it , he plays the part , loops it, put bass down and walks off like a boss. :)
Coffee? Try a whisky on the rocks pal!
Everclear :0
+Thomas Papoulakis thats the reason he is there performing and you're here ;P
Thomas Papoulakis I'll give him all the coffee he wants
Gotta be one of the greatest live bands on the planet... And beyond...
I was looking at them and thought that they look similar. I was mind blown to learn that this is a band of 3 brothers and cousin, so cool!
I love this song and i love the fact, that so many people feel the same way i do about this masterpiece and feelings in this song.
Everyone commenting about the sound and drummer but what about that voice he and Chris Cornell have the best voices I've ever heard
Best band in America
Can’t believe I just discovered this song!! Amazing!
Lucky
I've got their CD my Oldest Son went to go see them when they were in South Africa! I had a stroke last year and put into a coma! I love this song! Everything happens for a reason!
