DEBONAIR the afghan whigs

Greg Dulli and the Afghan Whigs make their network television debut with a promo appearance for the "Gentlemen" album ...

[@SuridaCity]

Thank god I was born in 1972 so I had the chance to live my life with bands like this. AMAZING LIVE!!!

[@skinny8019]

72!

[@jasonmuhsmann5670]

Me too!

[@eggy77]

They're the lucky ones!

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

as long as you were born after this record came out you can still listen to them and have their music in their life

[@jonnysolarius6995]

I wish I could discover Gentlemen and hear it for the first time again.

[@moonmonkey999]

dont we all

[@gsurveil1]

Amen!

[@lwoltersyt]

I did last year ;-)

[@absolutelynonameslef]

For as depressing as it can be, my home state of Ohio blessed us with Greg Dulli, Bob Pollard, Kim Deal, and Lou Barlow. And for that, I am thankful on this Thanksgiving.

[@PabloGonzalez-wf1fo]

Que banda, por dios. Sublime

[@timp3370]

Don’t forget Mark Kozolek

[@jadizm]

Amazing music! Transports me back to the 90's when my brother and I were kids living simpler times! Praise GOD for beautiful music!

[@moonlight-y9b]

These guys are truly in a class of their own, their unique sound is untouchable and timeless. thanks for posting.

[@mariojorgecaeiro]

Absolutely. Debonair rigueur.

[@lyonslaforet]

The Afghan Whigs were a great underrated American band. They were genuine and they deserve to be restored to favor!

[@greenhell10]

The Whigs were and still are very underrated band. Dulli ROCKS! Still one of my favorite bands.

[@louistorres]

This is literally one of my absolutely favorite albums ever. My background as a musician (guitarist) is NYHardcore/ Crossover. I'd always listen to these guys while driving out from Brooklyn to the Catskills to go snowboarding in the early-mid 90's.

[@MjBurns88]

Gentlemen was always my favorite album but damn everything they did was so great. So criminally underrated watching this in 2024 woohoo!

[@coachdewcep3335]

Same brother! Extremely underrated. Just watched them live again for the first time in thirty years

[@seanoneil277]

Amazing performance, all 4 of them locked totally on this song's groove & flow, Dulli singing straight from the gut.

[@MrGravito]

gouts eclectiques obligent,je viens de passer 2 plombes à écouter du Pat Metheny et je passe à l'instant à Afghan Whigs ! Neuronnes remises en place!!!

[@NUKEM16]

this guy might have one of the most badass voices ever. this band is awsome.

[@StephenRalphMiholick]

When I first listened to the album 'Up In It' I knew I found something special. Between the Whigs, Dinosaur Jr and The Wedding Present the music of this era was soulful like the music of the 60's and 70's.

[@I-SelfLordAndMaster]

Hello I am a feotus and don´t have an age yet. I can´t talk for too long as the Amniotic fluid gets into my nostrils....but hey the alternative rock scene youvé gotta love it. That placental vibration with the bass gets me every time.

[@vikelhombre3107]

Hey man just letting you know this is really funny

[@GladGirl67]

Hell fuckin' yeah. I will never stop digging Greg Dulli and everything he does, down to the bone. No matter how old I am.

[@gsurveil1]

Great band great album great lyrics!

[@markus1647]

This is amazingly great, as is the entire album

[@toddhbinkley]

Ladies and Gentleman: (especially those of you who were just born when this aired) This is a real band! No auto tune or trickery...raw power and talent! I hope your generation is saved very soon from what you are being fed.

[@susanmaggiora4800]

Todd Binkley 9 years later & it’s just gotten worse...😔

[@kylehereKC]

my god...one song in thousands compels me to comment. nothing makes me want to cry and hulk-out simultaneously like this shit right here. i never feel more alive listening to music than i do listening to The Afghan Whigs.

[@TMoody]

This band has been kicking ass for a long time now.

[@justmaria5547]

Found them in ‘92 and still here for it. All of it.

[@bibsma3401]

Marry me

[@kylehereKC]

oh also, at about 4:02, that smile is pure gold. as if to say "we just rolled in here and showed 'em all how it's done." i imagine, it that way at least...

[@seanoneil277]

This performance was like a bottom of the 9th, down by 3 runs, bases loaded grand slam that leaves the park.

[@scottysauce]

love everything then and now greg dulli is doing! as underrated as mike patton

[@nickfanzo]

this band kicked so much ass

[@jaredbellow]

Still do, the new record is great.

[@sporkreaper]

this superb video just changed my life. can you imagine if they were on conan today? would never happen. people don't know what good music is, when all they do is listen to mainstream radio. you have to delve into the history of the shit. this music right here is far better than anything being put out today. the intro alone kicks the ass of every fucking "rock" (or other) band/ musician out today.

[@xTheOxx]

Hard to find a better pairing than a Tele and a Jazzmaster.

[@TheRavaroo]

first Whigs experience was the rare video for "Sister Brother" on a Sub Pop video sampler over 20 years ago. After having seen them live 3 times during the 90's, I still can't get enough of their live sound. The female vocalist they brought on tour to sing My Curse (not the Scrawl singer) was so incredible that it's burned in my mind forever.

[@1Gazpacho]

Ufffff ¡que buenos eran! Como aullan esas guitarras... y cuanto dolor en esa voz. ¡Grandes!

[@BoyfromSevilla]

one of the best bands of all times

[@IStakeU]

Amazing band...Dulli is unbelievable.

[@rostbif2]

definitely one of the best bands ever

[@mifune3000]

FUCKING Dully is a true frontman. And this is real rock-n-roll. Not much like it now around.

[@tblightningbolt8902]

Peak Dulli

[@wildade1529]

I'm glad I had the chance to see them perform at the Metro in Chicago. Zeus bless'em!

[@slee-choi3826]

Haha. I know this comment is very late but I had to reply. I used to live near Chicago (I live in Hawaii now) I remember the days of "3 bands, 3 bucks" at the Cabaret Metro. My friend from high school also saw Smashing Pumpkins when they opened for That Petrol Emotion at the Metro. A lot of good bands and memories during that time.

[@notanuploader1269]

What a lead man. Pure charisma. Pure sex.

[@vic5254]

Ironic.

[@swedishpumper]

Great Video.... Anybody have the Conan performance promoting 1965.... they played 66 but with the different bridge at the end... was the same night as Trimph the insult comic dog was at the dog show..... probably the best night of television entertainment ever

[@MrGravito]

A l'époque, je ne pouvais m'endormir qu'avec ça entre les oreilles!

[@SquiggyWigginz]

I am right there with you listening and loving this my friends. We're all alive. This about anything but truth.

[@invernessstudenthotel6884]

one of the finest bands on this or any other, planet.

[@Nanarama]

I remember when this first aired - I couldn't get my VCR to tape it, and I was so mad. Thanks for posting it!

[@Ktonrider]

I was 21 in 93... what a ride it’s been.. 🎉 💊 🍸

[@pixiechicki]

This album has also changed my life!

[@Misterioso]

I was born in 1933 at which point the stars aligned with Jupiter, where I was transported. I was taught of quality music such as this and sent on a spectacular mission back to Earth where I didn't age one bit. Once on Earth I viewed this performance and now I'm 15 and appreciate good music.

[@raleghhowes2778]

Best drummer Dulli's ever had. And he's wearing a suit!! Respect

[@DJV_TF]

They should've stayed in a grunge phase like this.

[@pizzed]

i remember watching this and falling hard for M.r Dulli

[@daftendz]

hey man i was born in 85 and i remember this.....from conan... laugh!...but no really they were always here in colmo because of the UM campus i guess....at the bluenote..anyways being so young this was the first post grunge era band i really liked.....im just so glad someone had recorded and then uploaded this ........

[@enumeratedentity]

I've always wondered what's written on Greg's amp in this video.

[@leahgoin2782]

Couple thousand of those views are mine .

[@eggy77]

Leah Goin i think I'm catching you up!

[@solaianola]

Heard ya Sis!

[@Sonofspam1972]

I've got chills.

[@amptechron]

A great blast from the past. Is the tape on the guitar rig that says "slice" a heckle on Slash, or what?

[@FunnyCandy]

Dozens of the best alternative rock bands (The National, Heartless Bastards, Afghan Whigs, etc.) came out of cincinnati. It's a great town for alternative rock, film and theater. I guess if those things dont interest you, you might not have a good time.

[@kitoyobeni1]

Foxy Shazam, Ass Ponys, Buffalo Killers, the Bears, Moth, and legends The Isley Brothers too...(we won't hold The Black Veil Brides against them lol)

[@NotNotKenny]

Being from next door in Pennsylvania I've always been jealous of how many great musical acts come out of Ohio in general.

[@Radb707]

@MacHazzer Actually 90% thanks to Greg Dulli, since by Earle's own admission, Dulli either showed him the drum parts himself or told him exactly what to play. But i'm not putting down his talent, the dude can play.

[@I-SelfLordAndMaster]

I am 6 months old and I really appreciate the alternative music scene. There is nothing more enjoyable than hearing live music. The noise makes my undeveloped brain bleed but someone once said you have to suffer for your art, so true.

[@BirdofSaxony]

vocals are so on point i thought he was lip syncing at first

[@JColiveri]

+BirdofSaxony You sir are fu*&^ in sane. These guys were signed by Sub Pop like a prop for the the grunge bands in Seattle.. The suits at the label laughed at the idea of a band from Ohio to rock. Well they played several festivals in Holland & sold more records in the US….They were not Sound Garden or Screaming Trees but they established a fan base.. I had a friend who owned a Indie Record Store back in the early 90's, & can attest these guys played their hearts out.

[@medicineman1981]

This is the kind of songs that helps me run faster when jogging :-)

[@Dunkaroos248]

Great lyricist. Anyone know where they are now? Very very under rated band. I think they got lost in the shuffle with some of the other amazing talent emerging in the mid 90's. Way better than the bullshit coming out now. These guys had a SOUND!

[@bartterrie]

Gentlemen...best album ever

[@wormskull2454]

Goddamn the guitars in this performance are soooo loud/dirty/noisy! Just a wall of sound, so good.

[@synchrony00936]

This was on November 18, 1993

[@ahfeckit]

Saw these guys live in Philadelphia back in September, they were unbelievable!

[@quincee3376]

What a voice.

[@MrChupacabra69]

most underated musicians

[@stefanonegovetic3054]

Diraju dušu. Kad će koncert u Hrvatskoj!

[@tinbreza]

za mjesec dana :D

[@Waxy_Lou]

Anybody know what’s written on Greg’s amp?

[@leeannalove]

They were great live at the 9:30 club!

[@jeffthrow6892]

Well........it just might be a contender...... amazing album indeed......

[@TheObscurelord]

Goddam! i was born in 92 ....too late to live trough this

[@fredserpente]

one of best band ever

[@bcancun123]

Great band !

[@houseofglass21]

now that's what i call a fookin' rock band

[@HuwKearney]

Classic whigs in fine form..

[@richbannon]

wow - what a great song

[@77fucco]

Does anybody have a video of the song NOW YOU KNOW from the album Gentleman?

[@saintandrews9046]

Love you guys madly❤

[@henkecelt]

great album.

[@francois4063]

a well kept treasure

[@mildewl5863]

great tone

[@quincee33]

well said. do u like the Gutter Twins?

[@ac1dP1nk]

Trudeau's good twin right

[@rcf56]

it'd be nice to see them add some dates to the upcoming 2 stop tour since i can't get to london or nj.

[@unhandme78]

and it don't sleep, and it don't breathe, it's locked it's jaws and now it's swallowing, it's in our heart, it's in our head, it's in our love, baby, it's our bed....

[@cbr0oks]

you always start your comments with your age?

[@davestruxstop]

nicely done fellas

[@kdsquire99]

fuckin-a they kick ass. i can't imagine not knowing about the whigs, tuning this in and seeing this. (better yet being in the audience). this stuff was so balls-out.

[@Andy_Corvo]

Great song!

[@P715R]

I said it before and I'll say it again. The 90's man!!! Afghan Whigs /Hum/The Fugees/TLC/Pavement/Radiohead, all the diff music we had! A Tribe Called Quest/GraveDiggaz/I could go on all day. The diversity!!! What happened!!??? God bless everyone growing up now, there's good music out, but not on the radio/tv and for that , I'm sorry for all of you. ((least you got KZbin to see what ya missed)))

[@rcf56]

i think coney would have them on again-if they'd put out a new album or remastered an old one

[@1thess523]

For a second i thought the singer was Larry Damore from PegBoy.

[@ScarTissue40]

Wow, saw them earlier on Jools Holland, GREAT!

[@cheesydarkside]

'i love you mom' on the drums, aaww haha

[@_rvth_]

Outstanding

[@DerDickeTyp]

F**king great song... but why nobody upload the "official video" ???

[@CelesteInChicago]

@louistorres Gentleman and Black Love are in the top ten, possibly top five records of all time for me.

[@N1ckD22]

this has a pearjam/hum cross over sound to it... or is it just me? loving it tho.

[@KP5000]

conan looks about 12. great song.

[@kellyhartman7266]

to all the kids who sit in reverence of the nineties: you're right. there was some good shit then (this is obviously an example of that...) but YOU CAN MAKE A RECORD IN YOUR BEDROOM FOR NOTHING!!! Quit talking about how awesome it was before and how much it sucks now and do something about it. I'm sick of it too...

[@jasonthacker5844]

There aren't many kids sitting in reverence for the 90's. But, for adults that remember that time, recording a record in your bedroom was a big deal. See Beck.

[@richieroma]

peak whigs right there

[@mariojorgecaeiro]

Joy of Psychic Power, somehow like Joy Division ghosts meeting a Funk God who with a finger touches each one of the four guys with a magic sense of mechanicity - it works out as a mindscape

[@maltosmalto97]

Thank God i was born in 1997 so I had the opportunity to... wait a sec..
