Butch Walker & the Black Widows - Synthesizers (live on Letterman)

[@rushinsteele257]

Has a “our house in the middle of the street” vibe. Butch is awesome.

[@forensicpsyguy]

Man, I love this dude's material. It's worth mentioning that he is always surrounded by solid musicians, so the contribution of his band members should not be overlooked. They too are incredible....or Butch probably wouldn't be teaming with them. He's been in the game enough to know who is solid.

[@Rll440]

I love the fact he produced the album 'Burn It Black' by Injected. Butch Walker and his friends are amazing.

[@xfinafire]

Injected is fucking awesome.

[@tresasargent]

I first met Butch back in 1996 in Lawrence KS when he was I FFR and I must say he just gets better with age. If you ever have a chance to go see him live don't let it pass you by! Best live show I've ever been to, love you Butch! But I loved Slug more!

[@TonysMusic1974]

I just saw M3 two months ago. Epic!

[@BajaBeans]

"I mean cmon he is playing a mandolin/banjo." -- what do you expect? He doesn't have a synthesizer. Whether or not you like him or his music.. there's no denying that he's ridiculously talented.

jajajajjajaa clave

[@chrisbr1969]

I loved this lineup with Fran Capitanelli!

[@stacyclark5910]

This guy is amazing! He continues to top himself (and he doesn’t have to!) Such talent....

[@SCharlesDennicon]

That performance was... all right, all right, all right !

[@HocoRuco]

I love that after the line "I didn't name my band after an animal" (0:54-0:59) he says "sort of" under his breath. My thoughts exactly :)

[@Auen73]

Good catch man......hehe

[@valteraugusto6617]

Sorta.

[@phatphuk7461]

Why the fuck does this only have 15,000 views? This shits on everything in the top 100

[@hateUmankind]

cause KZbin don't want to promo this music like those Vevo trash vidoe that they try to force on us

[@rudy37670]

Can't stop listening to this perfect song.

[@tyronehuff]

Rolling Stone producer of the year in 2005. his last 2 albums went to number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. his list of bands/musicians that he's produced and/or cowrote albums with is a mile long. chosen as a judge for the Independent Music Awards more than once, and on CBS' Rock Star: Supernova with Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke, and Jason Newsted. then he produced the album that followed the show. pretty successful.

[@mcnasty4207]

The GOAT

[@LostConvos]

Thanks for uploading the full video! I missed the performance and kept finding videos without part of the first verse. :) Butch Walker is still going strong after all these years. And of course, I love the rest of the Black Widows as well

[@leerayfitzpatrick3593]

Now this is music at its best. 5 people very into the music there playing

[@maru89]

he's the best!! thanks for uploading the whole performance!!! amazing

[@MattHannonMusic]

Just awesome

[@irwin154walker]

just go see this performer artist live a+++++++++++ best in this universe !

[@MyDadsRubberBroke]

Just saw him on Live fron Daryl's house, good show, check it out! This sounds alot like Come On Eileen, by Dexys Midnight Runners.

[@vincenzo6162]

Dare Devil, you might want to try listening to the band he was in called "Marvelous 3". His solo music might not be as good anymore, but if you knew where he came from, you wouldn't be so surprised. Look up " vampires in love". Cheers, buddy.

[@Conchsausage]

Great job Butch!!!

[@seifs4]

Yeah that makes total sense, that's why all the POP stars are still going to him to produce their albums....

[@stevebirks2186]

I used to get down all night! ~ All weekend! ~ back in those Synthpounding Electro Eighties - Until 1985 ~ I met An alluring young lady - Ms Bhandara A beautiful young lady - Who moved into the Nurse's Home were I was living ~ She tamed me !

[@stevebirks2186]

.. now we both get down -To eighties retro nights Music from our time - Pat Benatar & I like Hall & Oates - -Butch plays great music Great music When banjo came out thought he was gonna do a bit of Dexys ? Great song !

[@OscarAcostaGonzalez-b9n]

Como le cuesta prender a este libro 🔥

[@brianloher7617]

Well,, I'm now a Butch Walker fan

[@brianm7185]

Isn't he from Southgang?

[@denniskurowski]

As soon as the Dexys Midnight Runners " Come On Eileen " melody kicks in, I was sold. Sorry to say, I never heard of this group. I have check them out some more. Any suggested songs by them that I could listen to on You Tube?

[@act3media510]

Summer of 89, Sweethearts, Bullet Belly.. he has so many great songs.

[@javtimestwo]

+Dennis Kurowski Butch Walker is a solo artist. Not a group. Listen to songs like "Sweethearts", "Bodegas & Blood", those are from his Spade album. ENJOY!

[@accessit01]

Say it isn't so Butch Walker and Daryl Hall

[@vassilylucashenko]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuVgYiwaK-UrpI Hey you beat me to it. That was an amazing vocal performance by Butch.

[@beldar18]

Awesome to have Norm McDonalds on bass!

[@AhmetUzun.]

soo good..

[@Mourning1984]

Good stuff!!!

[@0000Neil]

Man everytime I just see Matthew McConaughey

[@elshit1983]

I like the song :) cheers

[@MindYourOwnBusyness]

Me gusta.

[@mylivetubetv]

That's Eva! She is a hardworking bassist! She is presently touring with Pink.

[@sheldoncooper4859]

he yes have talent

[@tyronehuff]

guess you don't know much about Butch if you think that he resents not being more successful. he is resentful towards the music industry, and goes into great detail in his book about why and what's wrong with the entire setup. if your opinion is he's just a hipster with cool gear, that's your right but the overwhelming consensus I've seen and heard is he's one of the best writers/entertainers/producers we have. and he'll be the first to tell you he's from GA, enjoys CA but not LA if I recall

[@johnhall77]

Greatest thing since Bill Bailey.

[@firmanagussetiawan187]

Playing for keeps

[@daveericsonn]

Pink Covers Led Zeppelin, and works with Butch, who is a hairmetal-guitarist turned Singer songwriter. And the musicians he works with are amongst the most relevant out there today. Maybe you are mistaking talent for ambition!

[@northernbrother1258]

Dexys Midnight Runners, amarite?

[@seoncope]

Playing for keeps sent me here

[@wlgj1341]

Unbelievably commercially viable whilst simultaneously vetting the worlds sanity

[@bousti999]

I'm pretty sure she's dating one of the Widows, I forget who, but they mentioned it at one of the last shows I was at.

[@ColinPoole]

But....he did name his band after an animal...

[@aDoNii1]

Well it's an insect not an animal

[@tominrochester]

Isn't that a banjo? Is there really such a thing as a "banjo-,mandolin"? Oh wait- I took 5 seconds to check it out for myself and sure enough it is a Mandolin-banjo. See what a little effort does kids? Then you don't have to ask other people really obvious questions...

[@stevebirks2186]

Thats true All those answers to what every question they may want to ask ? -And more ! In the palm of their hand !....And some are still to lazy to look themselves !

[@stevebirks2186]

Too! (sorry) -I am on a bus though !

[@raven3016]

she's an awesome bassist. formally of mars volta

[@ZabljakLand]

COME ON EILEEEN :D

[@erinadams1983]

Reading previous comments from the individual known as dare devil. Holy cow Butch isn't even remotely in the same league as Maroon 5 or John Mayer so you can't even compare. Butch Walker is also know as the " musicians musician" if that better explains it. Butch is way beyond the level of Maroon 5 and John Mayer.

[@glass7923]

Where's Wooderson?

[@MichaelAngst]

Hanging out with High school girls, where else?

[@theplourde]

Tell me how this isn’t a note for note of “Come On Eileen”?

[@northgeorgiahex6663]

It’s a harmonic reference/tribute. Note for note? Far from it. The melody is completely different. Get some better ears.

[@topsyturvy5485]

Anyone know who is playing drums in this performance?

[@BajaBeans]

I believe it's Mark Stepro

[@topsyturvy5485]

@@BajaBeans Much appreciated!

[@Joekkaido]

@stupidjunk978 Well he's not, is he.

[@joshkerrby]

He produces Pink and she was singing one of his songs.....

[@marcelocozzis6605]

Sounds like " COME ON EILEEN" but i like

[@aggit8]

Fran (on bass) is technologically the lead guitarist and some would say is even better than Butch. They have a duel out there live and Fran kinda won IMO. He is hands down the best out there. 😊

[@leecort1]

love the inside joke about someone naming there band after an animal.LOL

[@aDoNii1]

Now he can buy a synthesizer :')

[@rockcrab0907]

可惡 聲音沒變 但長相已經是大叔惹 哭哭

[@leecort1]

dude do ur research.hes so respected its crazy.hes not a commercial success cuz he wants to do things he wants to do them and that is respected by everyone.Marv 3 broke up to prove that music isnt evrything and they wont bow down to music comps.he is amazing and obviously only getting better.Fucker!!!!

[@Preacher65]

@daredevillv *Yawn*. All I know is that this song inspires me to go wire some music, so I'm off to do that. You keep on fighting the good fight, keyboard warrior.

[@unafockaplay5985]

auron

[@leecort1]

these burnouts play better music then any other band out there.or fake pop star or old ass rock bands or bands trying to stay alive.

[@saquenmedechinaporfa6871]

Falto el libro >:v

[@Preacher65]

@daredevillv *write

[@j2martnz348]

C'mon Eileen!

[@mikekrier1465]

Um he did name his band after an animal.

[@chargersbigfan8]

Actually it is a mandolin-banjo not just a mandolin. Letterman doesnt know anything

[@johnhall3867]

Gonna see PUFFY. Will get revenge; maybe... XD

[@ngalookin]

I have known him since he was 15....you have no idea what your'e talking about.

[@DannyMcCaffrey]

"Toora loora toora loo rye aye..." watch?v=WSQPMNtUNfU Go on Butch... ;-)

[@seifs4]

You must not understand how it is to be a musician, we don't care about the quantity of people watching, we just want the ones who hear it;to like it. Your saying cmon he's playing a mandolin......how does that make any sense. Do you only listen to one kind of music? Many bands/artists have mandolin players, when you start playing one instrument you want to learn another. You clearly don't understand the art.

[@thelionx7819]

auronplay :v

[@fitzroy08]

Sorry Chris but I love Eva Gardner...

[@Preacher65]

Wow, speaking of not paying attention. My youtube account, Facebook, etc, all have my face on it. Sorry bud. No flannel, never had glasses. But thanks for passing judgement without any facts. And no, I'm not judging your musical taste or your experience. You're the one making inflammatory comments on a successful artist in order to experience the attention you obviously aren't getting. your opinion about Butch is misinformed, and your delivery of that opinion is juvenile. I'm done.

[@cubadorian153]

i dont give a crap about how he dresses just about the music because if that was the case i wouldnt listen to a ton of artists.

[@seifs4]

I don't understand your logic at all. He doesn't make POP music and clearly he's fine with that or he wouldn't be using mandolins and banjos in his band. Everyone knows that now adays if you wanna be famous all you have to do is have a computer with music software. You don't even need instruments......your argument makes no sense. He's produced many famous records/songs, I'm sure he doesn't care about fame thats why he produces and sits behind the computer....

[@Preacher65]

Here's a news flash for you friend: Butch still plays his music, and sells out shows. But here's the kicker;, he also produces most of the albums made by what you call "real talent." Get it? Your "real talent" sounds just like all those tired LA hipster wannabe sellouts before he puts his talent into it. And me? I barely listen to his music. But I've been around long enough to know what real talent is, and he has it. The only bitter person here is you.

[@neoplisken]

So I am going to point out to everyone that wants to speak against daredevillv. Just ignore him since all he really wants is attention since his own music is either poor or nonexistent.

[@kalixsky534]

Come On Eileen rip-off...

[@torontolarrivee7965]

this is so bad it's funny

[@Eric-AC]

I agree man, it's so derivative..

[@Preacher65]

You really do enjoy the attention you get from deliberately baiting people, don't you? Let's see: You have absolutely NO videos up of your own music, and in your one playlist, one of the videos is a guitar lesson on how to play a Miley Cyrus song. Is she one of the legends you're referring to? Please, you have no weight to be throwing around here. Come back when you actually have some experience to draw on.

[@BlindTom61]

LGBQ ,music ...

[@slimturnpike]

didn't he say banjolin?
