Hi. To help some of you out, Tim's bridge pickup was damaged when we did the recording and we didn't have time to get it fixed properly, so we used gaffa tape to hold it in place. The guitar he's using is a Patrick Eggle Berlin (I think) and the amp is a 150W Engl Invader.
Stu is the guy who isn't afraid to mess up a little bit just to portray his true passion for the music. Henry is perfectly practiced but I kind of feel like he isn't completely absorbed in the emotions like Stu. Then again he plays and sings infinitely more difficult parts, like Tim, which I suppose requires complete concentration. That's what I like about the best rock groups today like these guys. It ain't about the drugs or sex anymore, it's about writing the best music you can, music that requires you to be an orchestra level musician, just in a rock setting. Guys like Buckethead, Rick Graham, Nick Johnston, etc. also exemplify that
I still can't comprehend the impeccable timing Tim has when they come out of that final break of And I'll Tell You For Why. Thought on record it's definitely 2 guitar tracks...but he still does it perfectly live. Dude just kicks off the distortion, drops the pick, and starts finger-tapping the main riff for a couple finals bars all in basically a micro-second. Seriously...my brain can't switch gears that fast, let alone my fingers.
@@AbsoluteAbsurd That's true. He could've just use his thumb for that, but I thought it looked like he actually uses a pic for the distorted guitar in chorus. Idk. Probably the only time/song he would've.
@@AbsoluteAbsurd I don't doubt it. I watched the guy use a banjo capo along with a normal capo to only cover select additional strings for Baboon and finger tap around them. Dude's insane. This one is actually easier in terms of a lot of his songs.
Literally. TTNG changed how I viewed music. Got me into so many other amazing bands that are similar and other heavier math rock bands like don caballero and Hella
Same and now I write because of them 😭😭 this needs to be the new normal cuz this music is beautifully structured and not even having to try to be mainstream. They got “IT”. Glad I was able to see them live a handful of times and when they did Animals Anniversary tour
Seriously. I'm so annoyed I only found them in 2021 😭😭 I needed this during high school big time. Them, Enter Shikari, and Saosin. I missed out on all of them....Fucking hell.
God I wish Stu had been on the audiotree shows. The sound/mixing here aint good and Stu is a star. There's not enough decent TTNG live footage from this era
this performance is magical and far beyond, i have no words to describe how good this is and how much i've enjoyed it over the years, best rendition of both songs there is, this is just special
It was so damn good. Probably the best live show I’ve ever been to. Played the whole of Animals plus some extras on the end, unforgettable night. Hope they come back soon.
That later section of "And Ill Tell You For Way" sounded a little bit like the "Panda" intro. These Collis brothers are just absolutely incredible and Stu's "WOO" at 6:25 was perfectly placed.
Hugely relatable for me. Except if I got to his live vocal stress level, my voice would've blown out during the performance. Somehow he was still able to fucking hit notes at most other points, and that blows my damn mind. I only just found this video, and I'm already in love with how raw it all is, but that it still goes so fucking hard 😭🔥🔥🔥
So summer's here again and like children, we run around these streets at night to find both solace and confusion. Too late to try our concience clear. Hold on to tight. Our hair crimson in, the street light, sunlight glow. Never forget what we shared cos promises were never enough for us. So here's to romance and hot summer nights. Walking through tall grass, there's safety in here tonight we lay down and watch the stars collide. Never forget what we shared cos promises were never enough for us.
6:04 would love to hear this ("so let's carry oooooooooon...") part sung live at 100%. Dude's voice was too beat up to pull it off. I usually lightly sing it falsetto since it's hard to pull off well otherwise unless you got the pipes for it
I wish Stu still played guitar for the Animals album, he added such subtle awesomeness that accentuated Tim (is that the main guiatarist's name?) complexity
@TheGerthax Its not actually covering the coils. He probably sourced some he liked better than those that came with the guitar and they dont fit perfectly, so the tape stops them slipping forward or jiggling. LIttle jiggles would result in extra unwanted noise.
@TheGerthax yeah, like what that other guy said...i put my own pickups in and didn't ground it right so I use duct tape to isolate the metal parts from my fingers so it doesn't buzz
@ccaslin6 sometimes the strings can get caught under the rim of the pickup which kinda ruins everything when playing live lol. Steve Vai also does this.
@TheInevitableTaunt ... well if you listen to the first couple of 'YES' albums...you can hear the similarities...also 'be-bop deluxe'... some '10cc' ....'hatfield and the north'....lotsa similar 70's stuff....but like they say....history repeats itself...
i was referring to giraffes! giraffes? but tbh in the oxford math rock scene so are these guys, depends what you classify as big, i would say they are big in terms of the scene their in and the music their making
In a sense, this band can be considered experimental.. if youve been turning an ear towards lots of mainstream artists This branch of "experimental" can be considered Math Rock What you must be entranced by are the guitar playing styles that the guitarist is using In fact, lots of other bands have been picking up on this style: Giraffes? Giraffes!, Ghosts and Vodka, and Minus The Bear are a few who use these techniques Other math rock bands include Toe, Pele, and such.
@l337man4 yeah I know that. I'm saying for the Animals album, it would've been nice to have Tim going crazy as usual and Stu adding some more subtle stuff that accentuates his riffs
@chadsnadsrox I guess so! But it never used to be so bad. Maybe it's the nostalgia, 'cause I used to be into emo and post-hardcore type stuff. So now that I've found a really skillful band in the genre, it makes me sad that I'm not into it anymore. Hooray for psychological analysis.
@TheMarkHoppus182 dunno what guitar is but i think the head is an engl invader 100 the guitar looks alot like a prs but somethings telling me a music man or a peavey maybe?

This is why I love you guys
You guys are inspirational to my music! Thanks for your music 💕💕
come to brazil
Is there where I say I love you?❤
stu was so passionate. I kind of miss him. I do love Henry though

My life could be so different if i knew this band earlier...
this video is so old that people were still doing @ replies
Riichi 10 years ago lol
ttng is just that good
one of lowkey god tier bands
2019
lol

He’s an absolute beast
i dont think tim ever used a pick in his life xD

I feel like no other vocals would fit.. his vocals have grown on me for sure. Smart music, smart lyrics/vocals
Oh hey dude fancy seeing you here
@@AudibleVisibIehm
Where were you when I was 14.
Ttng is music to my soul
Unreal how amazing this is
Thank you for making music
Literally. TTNG changed how I viewed music. Got me into so many other amazing bands that are similar and other heavier math rock bands like don caballero and Hella
So true. I was the same age haha :) What a time for this music and other similar kinds of music though.

Their rhythm section is really underrated.

a whole year later, here again, enjoying this great performance! :)
@@Vectif ayy, ur the argentinian, right?
@@maxlambie7788 yeah
@@Vectif congrats on winning world cup
The scream that Stu does ending the first chorus it's just like AAAH so beautiful
Who is happy that Stu's comming back for an anniversary tour?!!
really?
@@kipkipful yes! they're releasing an acoustic version of Animals this october, and Stu's gonna come back for the tour.
I'm so happy. It was never the same at all after he left
It was so damn good. Probably the best live show I’ve ever been to. Played the whole of Animals plus some extras on the end, unforgettable night. Hope they come back soon.
So bummed I missed the reunion tour. Been listening to these guys for like 12 years. Seen then several times live never with stu tho
I want that ride cymbal D:
excellent performance.
That later section of "And Ill Tell You For Way" sounded a little bit like the "Panda" intro. These Collis brothers are just absolutely incredible and Stu's "WOO" at 6:25 was perfectly placed.
Totally, totally agree! Especially with the, "WOO!" It was adorable!
I re-watch the whole video if I notice that I didn't properly celebrate the woo
tapping mania, what precision and skill even with the non tapped stuff. Tim Collis is awesome and so is the entire band and their music
Poor Stu's voice gets so tired gosh. I can't blame him at though. The vocals in these songs are killer.
Hugely relatable for me. Except if I got to his live vocal stress level, my voice would've blown out during the performance. Somehow he was still able to fucking hit notes at most other points, and that blows my damn mind. I only just found this video, and I'm already in love with how raw it all is, but that it still goes so fucking hard 😭🔥🔥🔥
great preformance.... the bassist looks so chill haha... just jammin... def one of my fav bands
my favorite part of this video is the different styles of the band members, these guys are truly the best.
STU COMING BACK FOR ANIMALS 10th anniversary TOUR
Was at their show in Chicago in 2018 it was so lit man first time I seen the whole band and they had their main lead singer with them
I missed this because of work. I wish now that I had gone. Makes me want to cry
and it was amazing :)
harmony korine in the bass!
this band is amazing its good to see a good indie band from england
i think this needs to be watched multiple times, each time focusing on a different instrument.
Yep
I heard of this band about a week ago and they have been all I've been listening to. Can't wait til they come to the States.
Do you still listen to them?
Thanks so much for posting this ive never seen a live video of the original group. EPIC !
Saw them live for the first time a few days ago, my mind was definitely blown
ridiculously talented band. theyre all amazing at what they do
So summer's here again
and like children,
we run around these streets at night
to find
both solace and confusion.
Too late to try
our concience clear.
Hold on to tight.
Our hair crimson in,
the street light,
sunlight glow.
Never forget
what we shared
cos promises were never enough
for us.
So here's to romance
and hot summer nights.
Walking through tall grass,
there's safety in here
tonight we lay down and watch the stars collide.
Never forget
what we shared
cos promises were never enough
for us.
I like how brown pants clapping guy is slightly smiling, looking up at the ceiling, little dance steps_clapping to his tiny hands' content
2 of the best songs ever recorded
i just wish the pianist were playing here :(
This is so old, damn I miss Stu. lol
Reminds me of good days long passed
Wuooaa, Thank for upload the video. Say this is only beautiful, don't explain everything what I think and feel about this creation.
What a stellar performance. Wow. ❤
best british band in a long long time
@TheXyaan He has a great voice. It's the way he sings, and the imperfections in his voice that make him a great singer.
This band is gold.
holy shit they sound almost exactly if not better than on record
6:04 would love to hear this ("so let's carry oooooooooon...") part sung live at 100%. Dude's voice was too beat up to pull it off. I usually lightly sing it falsetto since it's hard to pull off well otherwise unless you got the pipes for it
Definitely. I think they have a little Street Smart Cyclist, Algernon Cadwallader, and Maps and Atlases feel to them too.
Totally. Both bands are great!
I like this session version better than the album version, cuz its so uncut and authentic. Also, the vocals feel more passionate.
I'm 20 laying on a twin size mattress, used prior.
Sycamore street, October time/2013
still one of the best to ever do it.
the guitar work reminds me a great deal of Stewart's from Big Country. Wow.
cant wait to see these guys live
I wish Stu still played guitar for the Animals album, he added such subtle awesomeness that accentuated Tim (is that the main guiatarist's name?) complexity
amazing
3:52 when I play bass I just do this dance the whole time🙌
The good ol' days!
@xrickyisdead15x Yeah, the bassist covers part of the lead line, notice when he starts playing the part you hear is more prominent.
Beautifull!
@TheGerthax Its not actually covering the coils. He probably sourced some he liked better than those that came with the guitar and they dont fit perfectly, so the tape stops them slipping forward or jiggling. LIttle jiggles would result in extra unwanted noise.
Are there any other videos of This Town Needs Guns with Dan on bass anywhere on the internet???
There is brief footage of them recording animals and Dan is in that, as well as some very bad clips on their archives
awesome stuff...........indeed.
WTF IS THIS GUITAR MAN DOING !!! :OOO
Animals is incredible!
Dude's gettin' down with that egg-shaker. Pretty rad.
oh man i love the ending
@Onimyst Yea, he had a kid. Nothing implied anyway. When someone leaves and you bring in someone new, that's a replacement.
I fucking love this band. They've been my new favorite!
@Theonewhoclimbs28 They didn't "replace" him, if you're implying they didn't want him; he left to spend time with his family or something.
@TheGerthax yeah, like what that other guy said...i put my own pickups in and didn't ground it right so I use duct tape to isolate the metal parts from my fingers so it doesn't buzz
drummer kicks ass, fuck ya.
@ccaslin6 sometimes the strings can get caught under the rim of the pickup which kinda ruins everything when playing live lol. Steve Vai also does this.

it's in 5/4
two dotted crotchets followed by two regular crotchets, same kind of rhythm as the mission impossible theme tune.
This song the verse in in 5/4, prechorus measure in 8/4, chorus in 3/4 and 6/4
Dizastermaster such nerds, i love them
How can you learn to play in those time signatures?
I mean like whats the best way to learn to play in those time signatures?
@@absmooth69metronome
sinful the talent of these dudes aren't more blown up, cameraman obviously never touched an instrument, collis' are genius.
Well hes a cameraman, not a musician
The collis family are the coolest people ever
i was referring to giraffes! giraffes? but tbh in the oxford math rock scene so are these guys, depends what you classify as big, i would say they are big in terms of the scene their in and the music their making
327 people brought guns to a town that needed them
@ccaslin6 because the pickup might not be installed properly, the tape probably keeps it from moving around.
Corvette $$ 😍😍😍😍😍😍
stu was so handsome
Yea
yes
In a sense, this band can be considered experimental.. if youve been turning an ear towards lots of mainstream artists
This branch of "experimental" can be considered Math Rock
What you must be entranced by are the guitar playing styles that the guitarist is using
In fact, lots of other bands have been picking up on this style: Giraffes? Giraffes!, Ghosts and Vodka, and Minus The Bear are a few who use these techniques
Other math rock bands include Toe, Pele, and such.
personally i think and i'll tel you for why sounds so much better live then the album version
please keep playing.
@l337man4 yeah I know that. I'm saying for the Animals album, it would've been nice to have Tim going crazy as usual and Stu adding some more subtle stuff that accentuates his riffs
@xrickyisdead15x It's the lead guitarist, being amazing
For sure :)
If you want, check out their label Big Scary Monsters Records, they have a TON of great bands similar to TTNG. Its a great label imo.
The cameraman refuses to focus on the lead guitar during the chorus of 26 is Dancier then 4.
WHYYYYY
@billo008 I believe it's lead guitar and drums that are brothers.
TIM IS FUCKING AMAZING
This video is now 12 years old.
classic
I'm still convinced Stu is secretly Matt Bellamy's nerdy brother
damn we are old now
Feeling old af
me too man. me too.
dude they're a very popular math rock band actually. they have been for years
@chadsnadsrox I guess so! But it never used to be so bad. Maybe it's the nostalgia, 'cause I used to be into emo and post-hardcore type stuff. So now that I've found a really skillful band in the genre, it makes me sad that I'm not into it anymore.

@MineSweepingKent you sound very formal about it.
they sound a little bit like "american football" and i love it
dude. tim.
I concur
Ooooohhhoooohh we wish we were Vessels
@maxisku2 technically its the editor.
Tim is mixed way too low
I didn't know Adrien Brody played drums...
