Really? I think they're a really underrated band - from the interviews I've seen of them, they've never had any pretensions about their talent or skill, despite the fact that Tim's songwriting is critically acclaimed. I must admit, I dismissed their music as simplistic when I first heard it, but it's got the same clever songwriting at it's core that the early Beatles stuff did - not in your face "cleverness", just catchy rhythms and great choruses. I agree they were better with Charlotte though.

One of the best songs I've ever heard 🤟🤟

I always get the feeling that Rootjoose are somewhere in this performance.

2:47 Peek a BOO

[@leonardoluiss02]

it's funny how they put the audio from the album over the audio from the actual video, still best song ever in my opinion, just makes me think of supercars crashing all over the place

Horrible editing. Toooooo much chopping and changing which distracts from a great song.

[@vaughncrane8310]

I found this song on a Demo for Bur out takedown on my copy of Need For Speed Underground 2 🤣💪🏿

[@leonardoluiss02]

i'm not trying to imply anything, i've never seen them live, but i've seen some videos here on youtube, and he didn't sound so bad, i mean, i actually liked it... i just don't know why they did that on this video..

[@fuzzleduck]

Probably because Tim never could and still can't sing! Don't get me wrong. I'm a massive Ash fan, was jumping around like a loon to them on the Isle of Wight last weekend, but it's true! They're a band that used to punch above their weight based on talent, especially without Charlotte.

[@Peamush]

They wish they were that good live

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Look up the performance of this song at Glastonbury 2004 and eat your words, they CAN talk the talk as well as they can walk the walk.

It was a great time. They has great songs and a genius called Charlotte. Then they got rid of her, and it all went to shit. Check out her solo stuff. All brilliant
