your halo’s at your ankles at your ankles w your panties

Oh wow what a great version

She is SO awkward 😂

I love this version too.💯

Gimme sympathy is the first song I heard from metric and it’s still my favorite. So you can only imagine how happy I am to hear this cool alternate version.

It's interesting to hear how the song changed as they worked with it. This is a lot like their very early stuff, very "pop" with the upbeat tune and backup vocals. The song as finalized on the album is much more consistent in style between the chorus and the verses, fits their newer style, fits the album better as well as being much more memorable, but this early effort is certainly interesting.

gimme sympathy is better title

I love her °°

Old school Metric was bomb. New school Metric is even better. They can't go wrong.

Hola Mau del futuro! llevas escuchando esto 10 años, te veo en otros 10.

Best Version. Heard it in high school, before it was cool.

This song really changed! Still sounds good of course.

This is interesting just to see the evolution of the track. This version sounds like 3 songs sewn together going by the tonal changes. The final version is just so much tighter and cohesive.

i want this version too.

More. Hooks that a Hooker........should be the title ;-)

@whatnobodyknew I absolutely agree!

This is definitely the best version of the song

They should release this as "Give me Sympathy Part 2 (The Hooks)" or something :)

Emily Haines's voice is like sex in my ears.

I like the feel of this song, but I still prefer the final version cause it has a slightly sad feeling which fits with overall msg of the song.

Watch the whole show at Myspace, Hey Play This! at kzbin.info_play_list?p=424BF72873F830A6

sweety voice

@GinnyT06 i think she is the only one who can take down chuck norris

@kovinumber1 who are these fucking idiots that didn't like this video, i wonder if by chance if these fucking cowards would like to just try to sing one these songs, i am sure they would appreciate what every singer and band member already knows how hard it is to loved. ronfirefox P.S does anyone know if there is a fan club to join? are they going to perform in 2011?

I love this version, its sooooooo much better than the one they released on fantasies.

noo dankedu bist die beste

noo danke

This version's lyrics are better than the other version, but the other version have better instrumental. I would like to see a hybrid combination of the 2 versions

love this version, the final one feels more polished but this is great.

I thought this was the official version of the song for the longest time...then I bought Fantasies and was seriously disappointed. This version is so much better than the final one! :(

This is the best version of this song by far.

I consider this version and the album version to be two completely different songs. Both of them rock in their own way.. although I think I like this one a bit better :p

@vitalogst this version still has you're gonna make mistakes you're young... personally i like this version a lot better. much prefer the she's come undone 's over the here comes the sun 's. and the feeling is a lot different. i like most of the fantasies songs live over the album versions, gotta say.

I think I like this version better.

I agree completely that Emily Haines was descended from God, dude. Thx for posting!!!

so different from the album version except the course. i like both. their music speaks for itself if it can be played in a mellow version and an electric version and and they both sound wicked.

They should put out the whole myspace show on DVD and CD. I would buy it.

panama by cat empire is amazing

i agree!!!!

modest mouse, arcade fire, silversun pickups, brocken social scene, stars, yeah yeah yeahs, cat empire, or, the white stripes. There all my faveourite bands, if you like indie rock you would proabably like any of those bands, but metric still is proabably my faveourite band

I emailed them... So yes unless it was someone that answers their email, but it sounded like a band member. Either way, sad news.

I asked. Sadly no :(

@salmon372 I have seen many of the myspace concerts pieces up to now, and after becoming a great fan of metric i must say: this audience ist shittier as hell :D but for sure: metric will rock on!

This version is so much better, I wish I were one of the people in the audience. They look like they don't even like Metric! I'd be FREAKING out.

Did this song morph a lot before the current version or what?? Wow! Really sort of cool to see the metamophisis of a song over time. Totally different on Fantasies... and I think they made the right changes. A better song now.

Dude, it's "Sophie Marceau" and she wasn't in the book, the character was, Sophie is an actress. Also, Emily has no likeness to Dakota Fanning.

Awesome version! I agree this sounds better than the official version. Its more like the Metric I have come to know and love.

no one in the crowd should be talking, only watching in awe

What a surprise this video was! I like it. But I love the released one too. Maybe the next cd should have this "other" version... call it 'Give Me Sympathy II'. Amazing!
