we NEED these guys to come back and rule the world again!

[@ZABlue26]

The lyrics to this song are incredible. Poetic, highly intelligent, and powerful.

[@bigkroner766]

The lyrics to this song are horny as fuck

[@MoiraRussell]

"This is a barn burner." TRUE STORY

[@andrewdlarge]

And then that busted trombone comes in and I'm like, "Meh, I'll just find the album version."

[@joelfortenberry7865]

I've nearly burned my barn listening to this song as well- stunned the crowd in Nola years ago- me included. Fresh rock please guys!

[@brooks5656]

I was hoping that was what he muttered at the start "this one's a barn burner" LOL

[@asdf072xxp]

A flash in the pan. A moment of brilliance that died too soon.

[@neilberry1886]

never

[@dominiquelance3698]

I will never get over the joy of this song.

[@danielstoddart]

Fun fact: Kyp Malone is playing a Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) signature model Fender Jazzmaster.

[@DAPOOLPARTY]

Amazing! screw everyone who doesnt like their live versions. Every take is different! Staying true to the art and the search. Play it live or it doesnt count!

[@Fakeaorta]

I remember Brian May of Queen saying that people would complain at how their live versions were always different from the album. Brian May said something like "We might as well just play the record and put carboard cut outs on stage if that's what they want"

[@Alexander_Rodin]

Agree with you. Fucking good

[@Jacksmusicshack]

Love it

[@steveblack3418]

My top 100 songs of all time. Maybe top 50 if I had a closer look.

[@andreww2319]

They should have been a lot bigger - they really had something.

[@azraygun]

Intelligent,original,eclectic, musical character and very enjoyable to listen to. They deserve more attention. ❤

[@rockyhollinhead]

They never had to be big They owe a lot of people's hearts

[@davidjames4898]

Would love to see them live

[@ponfed]

They really should have. Those who know.. know.

[@teavo3808]

I like the trumpet! Everyone's energy is electric!

[@briancates3576]

That’s a trombone…and it’s annoying as hell imo.

[@teavo3808]

@@briancates3576 Thanks for the info. Wow, has it really been 5 months since I made that comment? I can definitely see how the _trombone_ can be a love it or hate it thing.

[@orgoniteyahgoniteaustralia6888]

@@briancates3576 Agreed lol... sounds like shit haha

[@mgk9213]

I thought the horns gave a great touch! That chaotic jazz feel blended perfectly imo

[@Alexander_Rodin]

You’re right man. Rare to find songs like this

[@Jacksmusicshack]

I still can't believe he was a part of nevermen.. He worked with THE Mike Patton on that

[@theodorevaldez3832]

I saw these guys in 2005, and I've been a big fan since. I love this song. I've never seen this video and that horn is raunchy af! I love it!!!

[@eljay3195]

That's the stuff. Dug the raunchy trombone. Made me wanna hear it with a full horn section.

[@halos07]

The fact that BRO on the trumpet looks like a werewolf is the icing on this cake

[@Kinann]

JFC TROMBONE

[@johnkelly3549]

I dunno, I'm loving the trombone!

[@BenenHales]

[@subydenae712]

Say say my playmate Wont you lay your hands on me Mirror my melody Transfer my tragedy Got a curse I cannot lift Shines when the sunset shifts When the moon is round and full Gotta bust that box, Gotta gut that fish (My mind's aflame) We could jet in a stolen car But I bet we wouldnt get too far Before the transformation takes And bloodlust tanks and Crave gets slaked (My mind has changed) My bodys frame but god I like it My hearts aflame My bodys strained but god I like it My mind has changed My bodys frame but god I like it My hearts aflame My bodys strained but god I like it Charge me your day rate I'll turn you out in kind When the moon is round and full Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind, mongrel mind Baby doll I recognize You're a hideous thing inside If ever there were a unlucky kind it's You you you you I know its strange another way to get to know you You'll never know unless we go so let me show you I know its strange another way to get to know you We've got till noon here comes the moon So let it show you, show you now Dream me, oh dreamer down to the floor Open my hands and let them weave onto yours Feel me, completer down to my core Open my heart and let it bleed onto yours Feeding on fever down on all fours Show you what all that howling's for Hey hey my playmate Let me lay waste to thee Burned down their hanging trees It's hot hot hot hot here Got a curse we cannot lift Shines when the sunshine shifts There's a curse comes with a kiss The bite that binds the gift that gives (we're howling forever oh oh) Now that we got gone for good Writhing under your riding hood Tell your grand'ma and your mama too It's true true true We're howling forever oh oh (We're howling forever oh oh) We're howling forever oh oh (We're howling forever oh oh) We're howling forever oh oh

[@brianhiggins7994]

Thanks for the lyrics 🤗👏🤙

[@antoniobatelier]

this is gold Jerry GOLD!

[@randomations11]

What an amazing song. Brb burning a barn.

[@Skoora]

A couple more horns could have really blown this up, in a good way. I think nothing tops the raw intensity of the first time they played it on Letterman. Most versions I’ve seen have the guitars mixed pretty low which robs it of that intensity.

[@Superunbothered]

We’re howling forever

[@LuisaR20090]

Nosotros somos howling... forever

[@xcoolthefoolx]

I f'n love this band.

[@sirarungasal3732]

Crowd sucks balls, but this performance is 🔥

[@Dna010]

Yea it's a no for me on the trombone but still a great song

[@akf2000]

It's not at the levels of the Letterman performance but then how could it, or anything else, be.

[@Cacatron]

Amazing song on the record. Live... not so much..

[@EdwoodCA]

Check out their two performances on David Letterman. Just amazing. Way more energy and impact than this performance. [not saying this is bad, though. But it does suffer by comparison to the Late Show performances.]

[@lordbunbury]

Live is what it’s all about. Fuck the clean studio bs.

[@andrewjensen6305]

False.

[@RubinGamerNice]

need for speed:pro street

[@yishakfeyssa9628]

the crowd is so lame

[@cordial]

It's good but it's not letterman good. But keep on searching.

[@r8dj]

Guessing the sound guy was looking for work after this gig

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

That trumpet needs to stfuuuuppp 🤣

[@Alexander_Rodin]

What??? No man, it’s fantastic

[@andrerocha9816]

Trumpet kinda ruined it... too fuckin loud...

[@larryurneryahoocom]

Trombone was a little much

[@nickt7055]

Trombone...I get it, trying new stuff to keep older songs interesting when playing em, etc...song sounds better without it though

[@Tyranus1]

The trombone was in the original recording of the song. But here the sound guy messed up big time by turning the horn mic up too loud

[@FlushedRVA]

I love tvotr but Holy Shit he sounds just like Dave Chappelle here. Can't unhear sorry

[@Karl_Drogo55]

LOL Tyrone Biggums right?

[@macaroon147]

I really dislike crowds that suck.

[@charwest5892]

If you need the crowd to enhance your performance, youre doing something wrong. Unfortunately it seems like these guys backbone. It turns out, their live sound engineer just really sucks. If you want to blame anyone, blame that guy.

[@macaroon147]

That crowd sucks so much, besides that, I prefer the Album version.

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

Sad how this band just fell off

[@revolutionday1]

I could definitely do without the horns.....

[@zedigan123]

trumbone ruined it

I could definitely do without the horns.....
