I was so worried we werent going to get any more Bombastic videos due to that hiatus! So glad they decided to do one of my favorite songs off of Dope Machines! Please come back to Florida! We miss you!
I was a long ago fan... perhaps a half remembered dream? I made a point to see you live in FC but ultimately lost track. I’m a short story fan and you’ve always managed to wrap that talent into your music. Please keep doing it... and doing it with a string player/section. Those things are missing now more than ever.
Their versatility is unsurpassed. Never have I listened to a band so willing to be so different in their music from what they have done before and yet who have continued to hit the spot so accurately and joyously.
Is this the same Mikel Jollett that I saw in an episode of "In Search of Character: Courage"? It was a great video series that I saw back in college in the mid 90's. I think Mikel was either volunteering or working as a counselor for inner city high school youth in California. It was a very powerful episode and Mikel was incredible!
When I woke up today I got your message on my phone You said I had fun Did you ever make it home? I tried to read between the lines Oh yeah, I’m doing fine Feels like my head is made of moonshine And cheap-ass wine My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign Babe So okay You told me it was just a one time thing A spark on gasoline So what could I say? If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah Somebody told me you were mean Then in a couple of days I get this photograph of you The message says you’re lonely too Do you wanna tell me what to do? I thought maybe it was a line When we spoke that one last time Sounds like your breath is full of moonshine And cheap-ass wine My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign Babe So okay You told me it was just a one time thing A spark on gasoline So what could I say? If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah Somebody told me you were like a machine And so damn mean My mind’s falling to pieces every time I try to jump up On this trampoline Why don’t you tell me what you mean? Why don’t you tell me what you mean? Why won’t you tell me I was just your mistake? How long can this take? How many sleepless nights can I go over every second While I’m lying awake? Babe So okay If this is really just a one time thing I think I’ve lost something What else can I say? I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah Somebody told me I should stay away But I can’t help it I want one more thing Silence is deafening I can’t put you away And I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah Somebody told me you were mean
My bad. I meant the rest of that album. They did a Bombastic for every song off the other two albums, and I was hoping for an Elizabeth bombastic video.
I love this band but has anyone else noticed that at 3:53 the song says "but" and Mikel sings "and". I get that maybe this was the best take you did, just hope this wasn't actually a studio recording.
The most underrated band ever.
Agreed
Totally but that’s music for you. The world likes simple music that are hits for a year. I don’t get it.
What's your favorite song?
the best!
This bombastic version is so cool!!!! Loving this as I did in the past, even though it's 2024, October. Need this line up again, to lift our spirits!!
Singers smiling while they sing just makes me love songs so much more!!
These guys are the only band I've ever found who sound just as awesome live, acoustic or electric.
This is a criminally underrated band,
My favorite band... and can I just say that Mikel is gorgeous? The way he expresses himself while singing- love it!
Love the acoustic bombastic video series. Would love to have a cd copy of these.
Best band ever.
this is waaayyy better than the original
just a in 2 stops me from u no
Their live versions are almost always better
Agreed best band ever, especially live. Great Video! Thank you! We miss you come back to Colorado soon! Love Dope Machines -- great record.
I really hope they tour in England again, I would give my soul to see these guys play live
TATE always get in top gear for their bombastic/acoustic versions. What a band!
I love their Bombastic versions so much
I was so worried we werent going to get any more Bombastic videos due to that hiatus!
So glad they decided to do one of my favorite songs off of Dope Machines!
Please come back to Florida! We miss you!
Absolutely love this band.... so glad I found them!!🎤💗
PHENOMENAL
Superb
Hey, guys PLEASE bring this to iTunes Japan so I can buy it! The wait is killing me.
Saw you guys live at The Observatory and you are honestly my favorite band. Just so original and so stinking talented.
I badly miss this band. 💙
I'm literally disappointed for not knowing this song for a years😢😢😢
I love the opening instrumentals for this song, gets me pumped up.
I always scream on the why don't you tell me what you mean part
Antonio Simental So do I!
This song reminds me of COVID aftermath.
Come to Arizona or even California!!! Id travel miles and miles to see you💙
These guys are always hit or miss for me but I heard this on the radio for the first time tonight and I really really love this track.... big time!
can't get enough of this song...
This version makes me so happy. Also, makes me miss Anna.
Whole different song this way... So good, guys. Thanks for keeping Ace of Spades on the tour. We've been at every single one ;)

AHHH IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS AGAIN. its been stuck in my head but i forgot what it was called and couldn't remember the lyrics, lol.
BEAUTIFUL, you guys are absolutely amazing.
Good job guys. I missed your music. I had not heard this one til now.
Favorite bombastic video so far!!
Alexis Orens better than them being on a boat or in a car? hahaha
Jason Yore maybe not than that. But their perforce here is better than any sound on a record
how did they get this good
epic as always! love both albums! I love when bands evolve, grow and you can still get the same feeling, emotion and passion, regardless of the genre!
I love you guys please never change your amazing style is unique and amazing keep doing a great job :D
I don't know how I missed this but it's amazing! 💕💕
Their versatility is unsurpassed. Never have I listened to a band so willing to be so different in their music from what they have done before and yet who have continued to hit the spot so accurately and joyously.
Mi encanto is bravo muy bravo!
Oh, yes please! Mikel being all sassy and shit. Favorite song off Dope Machines. For goodness' sake, just come to South Africa already!
Nikki Paul Haha, you trying to get them shot?
What? No! Of course not. :)
We just really want to see them here.
Is this the same Mikel Jollett that I saw in an episode of "In Search of Character: Courage"? It was a great video series that I saw back in college in the mid 90's.

I'm big fan of you guys from Saudi Arabia I love your music ♡
When I woke up today
I got your message on my phone
You said I had fun
Did you ever make it home?
I tried to read between the lines
Oh yeah, I’m doing fine
Feels like my head is made of moonshine
And cheap-ass wine
My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign
Babe
So okay
You told me it was just a one time thing
A spark on gasoline
So what could I say?
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were mean
Then in a couple of days
I get this photograph of you
The message says you’re lonely too
Do you wanna tell me what to do?
I thought maybe it was a line
When we spoke that one last time
Sounds like your breath is full of moonshine
And cheap-ass wine
My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign
Babe
So okay
You told me it was just a one time thing
A spark on gasoline
So what could I say?
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were like a machine
And so damn mean
My mind’s falling to pieces every time I try to jump up
On this trampoline
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?
Why won’t you tell me I was just your mistake?
How long can this take?
How many sleepless nights can I go over every second
While I’m lying awake?
Babe
So okay
If this is really just a one time thing
I think I’ve lost something
What else can I say?
I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
Somebody told me I should stay away
But I can’t help it I want one more thing
Silence is deafening
I can’t put you away
And I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were mean
Amm a big fan and this is Mia Soto
I want some moonshine & cheap ass wine' after that ... What I mean is ... I want some airborne Toxic Event .... Multiple times
You guys keep on going nonoe or not goi g to stop you thay love your band stay safe guys
Listen to this every day. Woooo
Love these videos.
It's a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!! Always impressed by them. *0*
I heard this band at the House of Blues in Boston..
this song hurts my soul, but in a beautiful way.
Man, I loved the song before but that was damn sensual! Love you guys, you're looking great!
Belle mise au point. The best of my life !
I like this version better 😍 love the intro 💕
why is their bombastic stuff so much better than their album stuff?
Respect from Turkey ❤️🇹🇷❤️
love love love!!!
Such a great song!
Ahh yeah love this song
The best band hands down my favorite and come back to the observatory best show
So cool!!
Great to know their playing shows in LA
Great song
Fantastic
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Love this!!!
Nice version of this song off the album Dope Machine. I would dedicate it to the guy this makes me think of....but he wouldn't get it. LOL
I like this.
Great Great Great
I looooooove this!!!
Uh, I mean, let me post something intelligent and witty about the grand composition and superb vocal harmonies of this piece....
Both versions of this song are sick
oh damn that intro is everything
this song helped me get over my ex
LOVE!
Love it
If only they put out Dope Machines sounding like this and not some techno show. Oh well.
Perfect!
Guess I'll burn myself out on this band soon. I'm ruining this song for myself so bad.
I am so hooked on this song and I know that I'm mean. I'm trying really hard not to be.
amazebals
YES!!!
So no bombastic videos for Such Hot Blood?
BobbleCow If you look onto the side tab you'll see a bombastic video for "The Storm" and "True Love". :)
My bad. I meant the rest of that album. They did a Bombastic for every song off the other two albums, and I was hoping for an Elizabeth bombastic video.
BobbleCow I've been waiting for Safe and This Is London
That is a goood song
I remember seeing them in San Diego. They were awesome!
Did they Break up? 😕
No still together, hopefully their sixth album comes out this year, its meant to be nearly finished.
Anna has left :(
Is that Glenn?!
Traces lmfao
1st album was very good
Where are these guys have they broken up?
Still together, hopefully the new album will be out this year, loads of songs written for the album.
I dig it. Got my upvote. I wonder what their position is on vaccine mandates?
I want his outfit!
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
💜💜💜💜💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love Anna Bulbrook
ahhhhhhh....... : )
No tour until 2022 for this KC girl...sigh. I hate The 'Rona.
Pop
Noah 😭😭😭
I know, right? so sad.
that's pretty much me on a good day. lol
This is a much better version of this song.
I love this band but has anyone else noticed that at 3:53 the song says "but" and Mikel sings "and". I get that maybe this was the best take you did, just hope this wasn't actually a studio recording.
