I agree 100%. I have been to over 200 concerts, and this band and Red Sun Rising are tied for intensity and just the effort put forth during their live performances. unbelievable honestly.
My first introduction to these guys was absolutely surreal: I was at a music festival and a different band I liked ended. It was quiet, but not long after the first band these guys began playing this song, thumping those few notes like a heartbeat. Eventually they added more to it until his unique voice echoed throughout. More and more people gathered to listen. Then once he got to the heavy guitar "I AIN'T DEAD YET!" everyone went absolutely nuts. To this day, it's one of the best buildups of live music I've ever seen. I still every once in a while listen to their music.
saw them last night. Touring with a five piece, sound was huge. Stood right next to the stacks in front, still have nothing but ringing in the right ear...totally worth it. Go see this band. GO SEE THIS BAND! seriously...don't be a drip...
I was able to see this band in their first six months. They opened in Sacramento (MC Rut's home) for a band I liked (Dredg if you're curious). Was the first concert outside my town I went to (had just turned 16/got license). It was fantastic to see such a good, unknown band. Bought their first EP there--it had just been printed a week or two earlier. Had forgotten about them til I heard this song as a backtrack in a video a few minutes ago. Their drummer is fucking awesome. Such great energy.
just saw them last night @ pub rocks in scottsdale. been to a lot of shows in my day & this was THE best ever. so unusual to be better live but they rocked it hard
Yeah they're from my hometown and I saw them here in Sac. I didn't even know who they were but their show was so damn good I didn't even know that they didn't have a bass player.
The blue thing is called an Ebow. It sends an electrical pulse that causes the strings to sound and sustain as long as you hold it there. Like pulling a bow across a violin, hence the name Ebow. Pretty cool.
Middle class rut you got talent trippy jams i want encores keep writing best music still unwritten i sing along with dygierdoo headrush is free trying to keep up and never had one lesson....
They toured briefly with alice in chains in 2009ish and 2010. But MC Rut haven't been around for 20 years. Maybe you are thinking about the other 2 piece grunge band called Local H.
It's called an ebow, short for electronic bow. It's and electro-magnetic device that triggers the strings without them being touched giving you a different sound.@shannon rife
apparently most people do not have music tastes. has rock and roll been locked in a closet to get banged in the ass by the billboard charts? is everyone listening to billboard shit? this should have at least 25 million views. its epic, brilliant and fuck me It's rock and roll.

Always wonder why these guys weren't know as much. I mean shit this song deserved a Grammy
Agree!
I commend them for their intensity, it's amazing and never goes away.
In my humble opinion, they stay true to what rock and roll is.
Maybe because small amount of people appreciate great music..

A Grammy deserves a song like this
Every once in awhile I come back to this beauty of a jam....still a travesty that these guys didn’t get the recognition they deserved.
yep. Same here.
These guys are so UNDERRATED it's sad... but at least the music they play makes me rock out :)
That they do my friend the sound is incredible
Back here in 2023. This was a bad ass performance.

I heard this song on NHL 12 and was hooked. We need more artists like Middle Class Rut being heard.
HOLY HELL!! that's one of the most badass stripped down versions of an already epic song I've ever heard. Nicely done gents....
Saw Middle Class Rut last night...they put on a hell of a show! This was my favorite!
I find this Excellent.
I love this version over the studio recording - its so strong
These guys are the real deal. Not many new bands coming out impress me but these guys ROCKED MY WORLD. Simply. Amazing.
haven't listened to this in a year or more. I listened to it religiously at one point. still has things to teach
just saw MClass Rut on Saturday. Took my kids. We were blown away and it was fvckin awesome! Go see this band LIVE!
Just found this song. Love it already know it’s gonna stick.
i cant imagine playing guitar, hitting the tambourine and singing backing vocals at the same time. awesome job
saw them last night. Touring with a five piece, sound was huge. Stood right next to the stacks in front, still have nothing but ringing in the right ear...totally worth it. Go see this band. GO SEE THIS BAND! seriously...don't be a drip...
The best 2 person band in the world.
Love these guys! MUST BLAST IT. Sounds amazing
pure heart!!!
So proud of these guys...they're from my hometown, and the first time I saw them I loved them. So much energy!
This is one of the greatest bands I've ever seen live. So much fuckin heart. The drummer pretty much destroys his drums playing so hard.
Saw these guys open for godsmack ,unbelievable performance for an opener , great band
I love this song. Probably listen to it a dozen times a day, Especially this version.
I'm so in love with this song. Best song on NHL 12. Really love this accoustic version.

Really? He's playing guitar and keeping the beat with drums. Never seen anything like it. Best band since Nirvana. Maybe better. I said it.
Definitely better

just saw them last night @ pub rocks in scottsdale. been to a lot of shows in my day & this was THE best ever. so unusual to be better live but they rocked it hard

Such a good song, this live performance is so much better than the studio track
Just flat out raw talent.

Their voices compliment each other quite well. Also, Zack's voice reminds me a lot of Richard Patrick, circa early Filter, which is awesome.
This is awesome, thanks for uploading it!

"Yes."

"Yes."
