Little fun fact: this video was uploaded nearly a month before I was born and now I'm about to turn 17 and jamming out to this stuff all the time. Crazy right?
It is a business and they have to make a living...that said I think their music always reflects their heart much more than their "wallet"...I think their heart shows clearly not only in their music but in the way they treat people. Switchfoot's & Jon's songs like Mercy's War, White as Snow, In Love, The House of God Forever are just beautiful. I also love SF's Hawaii 5-0 song Out of Control. It really rocks & the lyrics sound like Simon Peter's pov.They R a true blessing & I think the Real Deal.
Wow, they have a GREAT live sound! He has that kind of voice where he could sing something in the studio and nail it on the first take. I don't know much about Switchfoot, but i've heard them throughout my life.
This is such an amazing performance and I love the song! I feel so bad that I lost touch with their music for a while, but my friend showed me their album "Oh! Gravity" and I was like "THEY"RE ALIVE!!!!!!!!" (of course they're still alive, i know it's just I naively thought that they had broken up after Beautiful Letdown)
Love to hear more...the inspiration and soundz have come along way since twinkle twinkle little star. I like I like I like ...stars and you guys shine.
At the beginning of the video, were they about to say "all-american rejects." They're my 2nd favorite band, next to Switchfoot that is. These guys play so well.
One of his inspirations and influences is kurt. although the melody is vastly different, the lyrics serve the same purpose: asking questions like "why should we listen to that" and so on and questions society as well
What I like about switchfoot is that even though jon isn't the greatest singer or anything like that, the guy loves music and you can tell on his songs and performance. I Love switchfoot.
@nickynice711 I totally agree with you on STP. The DeLeo brothers (guitar and bass) were actually from new Jersey, no 20 minutes from where I was born. I always seem to feel some musical connection to any of my Jersey brothers. Except those damn Jonas boys. Holy hell, I wish they were from somewhere else.
Alright, here's what's up: The bass player (Tim Foreman) has been there since the beginning. The "filipino dude" (Jerome Fontimillius ((or whatever)) ) Is there, but like r1c38o1 said they just don't focus on him. Aaaaand Jon, Chad, and Drew are there of course. Alright just a little heads up :) good video btw...
HAHAHA I thought the same thing man. I really like Hum and I really didn't like Switchfoot back in the day because I always thought they were too "poppy". Well I actually went back and listened to their riffs and I was like DUDE! That's what *I* play when I write and it sounds like Hum!
Hey coco311311, xxode315 and Ow3n007 -watch your mouth, okay? There's nothing you can do or say that can change how we (switchfoot fans) feel about them. You're just wasting your time. They rock! :)
well their career wasn't ruined, but yeah what happened was that sony put a rootkit on sf's nothing is sound cds, so people who bought the cd couldn't copy the songs as mp3. switchfoot doesn't care about the money though, so tim (the bassist) tried to tell people how to get around the rootkit, but sony almost sued him.
woah yeah...i doesnt seem like it in the video but now it seem like hes performing alot like him...he looks kinda like that concert they did for mtv haha
@FallingSlowlyOnce not only does he remind me of Kurt, check out a guy named Jessy Ribordy... he was the front man for FallingUP and now is with River's Empire...
@Nkieffer000 he's gotten a lot better, this is kind of old. honestly, now he sings live better than he does in the studio. there's something about his live singing that's just incredible.
@njcowboy78 you're correct about Soundgarden n MLB, who were amazing n would've done great things if Wood didn't die. Actually, the Band Temple of the Dog was a homage to him, even getting their name from one line in his lyrics. Pearl Jam was ultimately top dog but don't forget STP...completely discredited for being another Seattle copycat band when they were actually from Cali n had no idea about the Seattle scene.Nirvana didn't deserve nearly as much credit but they were great too.

Crazy bro no one our ages listening to this :(
I’m not much younger, this is great
@@gavinfoote_Music_Surf real
You know a song is good when it makes you shiver a little.
Jon looks like kurt cobain. :) i love switchfoot they kick ass
i wonder what they sounded like before 1997 before they started and did concerts and strain their voices they must've been awsome

When I saw them a couple of years ago it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I really want to see them again some day.
Did you ever see them again
Switchfoot rocks big time!!!
damn this comment is 17 years old
Wow, they have a GREAT live sound! He has that kind of voice where he could sing something in the studio and nail it on the first take. I don't know much about Switchfoot, but i've heard them throughout my life.

i listen to this song nearly every day and it still sounds as great as the first time i heard it when it first came out. switchfoot rocks!
This is such an amazing performance and I love the song! I feel so bad that I lost touch with their music for a while, but my friend showed me their album "Oh! Gravity" and I was like "THEY"RE ALIVE!!!!!!!!" (of course they're still alive, i know it's just I naively thought that they had broken up after Beautiful Letdown)
actually, "Stars" is from "Nothing Is Sound," the album after The Beautiful Letdown.
his face n his hair remind me of kurt
I love this guys very much..keep on rockin' for Jesus!!!!
Love to hear more...the inspiration and soundz have come along way since twinkle twinkle little star.

Anyone notice that Jon's guitar always matches his newest Album?
They're definately Not lip-synching. Listen to the studio version and then this.
Switchfoot is the coolest Christian Band ever.
someone turn his microphone up

good video btw...
@fattirevsbud And the song reminds me of that drummer from the 90's who started a band, I swear, the opening riff is almost identical to Live-In Skin.
Wonderful voice!
They are very good live!
I really like switchfoot!
excelente!!!
dude this guy has totally been experienced
Cool performance video. Would have liked to see more of Jerome though. It almost never showed him
HAHAHA I thought the same thing man. I really like Hum and I really didn't like Switchfoot back in the day because I always thought they were too "poppy". Well I actually went back and listened to their riffs and I was like DUDE! That's what *I* play when I write and it sounds like Hum!
09/10/07.. the date to remember guys!!
JOn i love YOU
theyve been a 5 piece since a beautiful letdown. drew didnt become an official member until nothing is sound was released.
Hey coco311311, xxode315 and Ow3n007 -watch your mouth, okay?
There's nothing you can do or say that can change how we (switchfoot fans) feel about them. You're just wasting your time.
They rock! :)
right on!

@FallingSlowlyOnce not only does he remind me of Kurt, check out a guy named Jessy Ribordy... he was the front man for FallingUP and now is with River's Empire...
I'm sure he enjoys what he's doing in the band:) without him they wouldnt have the Switchfoot sound....
love jon's voice
Jon Foreman :meets: Kurt Cobain :meets: Jeff Healy :meets: Bryan Adams :meets: Joie Calio ("DADA" 🎸 band) !!!! 😎 😅 1:02
@Nkieffer000 he's gotten a lot better, this is kind of old. honestly, now he sings live better than he does in the studio. there's something about his live singing that's just incredible.
I really enjoyed this! if anything could be a bit better, it would be lead vocals. he usually sounds a bit raspy live, but not bad : )
His voice omgggg
I love the Christian Twin of Kurt Cobain
awesome!!!!
You said it.
Schneck yes!
k.m...mahal na mahal kitaaah!!!
awesome performance! one of these days jon is going to cut his hair short and shock the world lol
chevere espero k swichtfoot venga a mexico city
At 1:11 he kinda looked like Kurt Cobain.
The chorus may be even better live...maybe...
the intro/song feels very foo fighters to me
why can't we all just be friends? :)
@njcowboy78 you're correct about Soundgarden n MLB, who were amazing n would've done great things if Wood didn't die. Actually, the Band Temple of the Dog was a homage to him, even getting their name from one line in his lyrics. Pearl Jam was ultimately top dog but don't forget STP...completely discredited for being another Seattle copycat band when they were actually from Cali n had no idea about the Seattle scene.Nirvana didn't deserve nearly as much credit but they were great too.
Jerome is my favorite1
lmao Tim is amazing
Jon looks like kurt cobain
3:22 BEST PART :D LOL!
LOLOL aweesome!
The song reminds me of Lady by Lenny Kravitz
@Nkieffer000 Hardly anybody does anymore. This guy's pretty decent for the amount of production Switchfoot gets.
@njcowboy78 Really? The Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden wave? I never even heard of those bands when smells like teen spirit came out as a single.
inxs has 4 i think, not sure though check the 'pretty vegas' vid
@Lupin446 Maybe he IS Kurt Cobain. :D
@butterflypiano right there with u!
I do think that 3 guitars is a little overkill, they totally overule the drums, but still a great live performance!
I think they sang this better back when this song came out. Now it has lost a lot of its energy and power
@enthnd03 ....like their song Live-In Skin
Bruce Willis can SING!!! :D
i think the snare sounds fine! and i'm a drummer.
@Nkieffer000 i agree
whenummloookkemm...STAAAAARRRRRSSS!!!
Good
@thehefolomp octaves.. of the main root of D
no backing track required
