AJJ - 4 songs - Oakland

[@Libotheos]

these ancient AJJ videos will never cease to make me happy when I'm upset. thanks for uploading these all those years ago

[@arcmchair_roboticist]

it's pretty cool how this event in some parking lot is legendary to ajj fans at this point just cuz of a random vido this guy took

[@eastbaytruepunx8603]

misha lvovsky gig was rather legendary locally with lawrence arms and shinobu playing under the tent on the other side of the van, mike park slinging out free hot dogs and kegged beer, and famous rock stars checking out the show and hanging out.

[@jman9082]

Sean lived in my hometown for like less than a year. I just think its really cool to know that.

[@MrRatherDashing]

"And we totally ripped off a man named Toby Keith The songwriter in the world to say the least and i showed you I can lie through my teeth and that's how I learned to survive" This is by far my favorite version of Survival Song

[@Hard2theXcore]

i live in central phoenix and Ben is a sub at my school. I always make really really awkward eye contact with him... lol. Never met Sean though.

[@KartKrasher]

This is one of the funniest things ive read in a while

[@GeeGollyItsJosh]

This is the most honest music I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. That is all

[@2Stripez]

And here we are 14 years later

[@jeremykern7806]

Amen to musician's. The only good thing God created when he created mankind.

[@Gr808bass]

These old Andrew Jackson Jihad videos helped me get through some of the hardest times I’ve ever had to face in my life in the past 10 years of watching them. I’m grateful for your videos, you helped kid me out more than I can express on KZbin comments, and your videos make me smile today because I learned how to survive. 🤟

[@Gr808bass]

A actually guess it’s been 12, so yeah lol

[@cocoscoffee5921]

Do it!! I did and it was honestly phenomenal. I don't think I had been that happy in the longest time.

[@GraffSupplyReviews]

"we'll probably sell it out of the back of the van,it'll be real sketchy" hahaha love these guys

[@drenochrome4kidz]

Seeing them in LA November 15th for the first time!!! A couple months away but I can't wait :D

[@JosePerez-ej1xe]

SEAN WITH SKINNY JEANS MAKES ME SMILE

[@niccee333]

beautiful

[@jameybond]

my friend just saw you guys play in nashville. i say you should come to back to TN [memphis, if you will] when I will be back there for school anytime after late august :] i enjoy all the tunes i've heard via youtube. i'm looking into getting a recording.

[@scrublime]

this band taught me how to survive. thats how

[@1MattyRoss1]

you nailed it on the head....a lot of the music itself is similar but every song stands out because of the honest lyrics

[@Stonedbrains]

seen them twice this year in Chicago, twas fucking amazing. Great people as well.

[@juiceydude1]

i fucking love this band

[@Stonedbrains]

He lived in Chicago last year and I ran into him often lol

[@TheRandomnator]

Thank you, thank you so much for this.

[@i-love-portal]

Survival Song is superb!

[@iglooworkshop]

Right on the spot!

[@CheckmateWithPawn]

they're doing that right now. Well, just Sean is. He was just in Baltimore a few days. Opening acts were shitty, but Sean was a great performer. Super nice guy too

[@ibleedredwhitendblue]

I saw them in Cleveland last night. That was a fucking show!

[@crankuptheska]

growing up is on the new ep coming out later in april. dunno about don't deserve.

[@fishy658]

[@unclevunck]

[@Callibretto]

"They left like a pound of weed at are house" hahahaha

[@OpusTheLeftie]

*our

[@MrMojoRisen451]

So this is waht REAL TALENT looks like... huh, I FUCKING LOVE IT.

[@joeseiderrules]

So very righteous

[@looshkin66]

the hardest thing about playing a.j.j. is the rhythm, not the actual chords........his right hand style is actually pretty amazing. Everything these guys do is amazing. i just wish they were not opening for against me, i understand the opportunity but i just dont really dig em'...........Andrew Jackson Jihad deserves their own tour. Period.

[@legendofFranktheTank]

I literally just cut my finger open trying to learn brave as a noun

[@Just.Kidding]

Honestly...? The guitar rhythms aren't complex or particularly hard, they're just... fast. All the strumming patterns are even pretty intuitive and most are simple/basic, so they're real easy to pick up. Overall - being honest here - AJJ songs really are incredibly easy to learn. The only time where it's **possible** that some beginners **might** need to even **practice** is when bringing the strumming(/patterns) up to speed. Which, to be fair, really isn't all that hard. In case anyone thinks otherwise, I'm not disparaging any of AJJ's music here. True, I AM pointing out its simplicity, and ease of learning. But simple/basic/easy absolutely does **NOT** mean "bad", as any AJJ fan should know. In part, I'm also pointing this out because I really think that how people say the guitar in AJJ's songs is "actually soooo incredible and way harder and more intricate than it seems" needs to stop. A) It's not - but more importantly - B) That sentiment TOTALLY discourages people learning guitar/wanting to learn AJJ songs. Beginners who might've wanted to learn AJJ's music or someone looking to get into guitar b/c of AJJ might totally change their mind if they think they just **HAVE** to get way better in order to have **any** chance of playing these songs, because they're "soooooo haaarrd". Yeah no, fuck that. AJJ is simple, and that's part of their charm. Their music is easy to learn, even for beginners. Go out and learn some songs! You'll be glad you did.

[@coreeJhogan]

Oh shit i was at this show

[@jameybond]

ps kickass upright bass player. i mean you all are kickass, but i play viola so i pretty much have to be excited over that upright bass.

[@Celticure]

i broke the 2 strings i needed though :/ i can't play the chord thats played most in his songs, C

[@paulsnyder758]

This is why KZbin exists

[@chrisis1]

ive fallen and cant get up! hahaha

[@nathansez]

I can't find the band they are talking about at the end of the video, can anyone help?

[@blagdiesel]

fuck his voice is amazing.

[@jayweber4110]

Does anyone know where I can find the old vid of them playing in someones apartment?! I can't kind it anymore and its killing me. Its a gem that can't be lost.

[@jayweber4110]

I just found it. :) KZbin is just dumb and thinks I want the polished venue shows.

[@SkankinLozer]

dang their amazing they played brave as a noun 1000 times better than in People Who Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World

[@thedimestoresaint]

Turn on closed-captioning. Laugh.

[@joeyboulregard]

7 people missed the "like" button.

[@MrSnaustin]

[@thedimestoresaint]

@iGeeeked Whoops. I found it amusing.

[@OGCobra]

[@MegaSilkyj]

[@chrismonzon452]

@ashotinthedark10 I've seen 'em live, it was fucking boss.

[@punk105]

: D

[@WhelpHaiBai]

>>Pomeranian complex I love AJJ and I thought this idea was hilarious.

[@m3eku5]

im just going to lay on the ground until i die

[@didntfinishsoup2]

@TisUsernameSucks it's okay for someone to have their own opinion. i personally don't like toby keith's music but some people do, and that's okay with me

[@Celticure]

i picked up a guitar, and then put it back down. god i suck :|

[@katiek7237]

bahbhahaha.

[@islas357]

Back when it was Andrew jackson jihad

[@CheckmateWithPawn]

Don't do that to yourself. Its much easier than it seems. Watch some how-to videos on youtube of your favorite songs and its cake. Even these guys, tho it sounds complicated, its really not. only fast. I just went and picked up my guitar and was able to play the songs immediately. Just practice one song after another and it becomes an addiction
