Cage the Elephant LIVE @ Forecastle 2009: In One Ear

[@glassroots1]

i cant believe these guys arent all over the radio! shame! such awesome music!

[@themagicalone00]

just saw these guys live, and blew me back. definitely an act to check out, and still so much time to make a name for themselves. one of the best new acts i've seen/heard lately

[@brandothefish]

Yeah man you hit the nail right on the head. 11 years later and they're still coming out with great music. Rock on Cage!

[@themagicalone00]

@@brandothefish I forgot all about this comment! Looks like I know a thang or two ;)

[@Lleww68]

these guys are bat-shit insane. I love them!

[@donkieman1]

to sing live and to perform life is different they amazing live performers. id love to see one of their live shows

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

The singing is pretty shut though

[@Drblink182rox]

[@added23]

now thats fucking rock n roll

[@jacobbecker1905]

Lol I remember this festival, But I also do remember the crowd not being as alive as I expected.

[@step2191]

saw these guys live last night (10/12/09) in norfolk, va at the NORVA, they were very good live, and full of energy. i hope they make it big.

[@shaggy1039]

LOVE the guitar tone

[@Curtisjoelee]

i love how matt just goes up there and just jams dude he just blocks every thing out i bet when he is doing what he does he has the time of his life, i kno i would

[@Meroceana]

Good music is BACK.

[@tylerreinhard2697]

I love the energy 🤘 ☮️

[@darkmonkey555]

"They say the devil is my pal, I do a lot of drugs..." yeeeaah you do. lol

[@mikehowton707]

AMAZING

[@K1D4MN3S14C]

I love the push... I gotta learn that one.

[@MateusEstrelaAguiar]

Man, the Lollapalooza in Brazil was AAMAZING! the crowd goes insane with cage the elephant. THIS IS A REAL FUCKIN NICE CROWD

[@FastNCurious88]

Mateus Aguiar saw them at higher ground opening for SSPU’s this same year and our crowd lost our collective shit, while this remained dead. Sad.

[@k9brawl11]

i don't care about things like how they look just that they keep making good music

[@MayGuh]

some of the lyrics to this song are "the crowd will only like me if they're really fucking drunk" i thginkthey were quite sober according to these standards

[@amandamerideth6627]

Sober? in Louisville ? Doubtful... Lol

[@Meelad]

@UponLathering People tend to forget that there's talent needed make a catchy song with good songwriting skills, which these guys definitely have.

[@Akkeree]

I saw them open for the STP concert, and when the singer did his thing, I thought I saw the drummer make a "Oh god, not this shit again" look. XD

[@donkieman1]

@radioface to sing live and to perform life is different they amazing live performers.

[@jjs182]

wow. i've watched like 4 videos of these guys live in different places, and the singer is wearing the SAME purple t-shirt, skinny jeans and light-blue tennis shoes in ALL OF THEM. LOL awesome band anyways =D

[@therko01]

These guys are awesome. How old is Matt.

[@sweettime75]

SUN BURRRN

[@swimmer71192]

is this song i feel like he didnt leave room to breathe in the verse. when i try to sing along its like impossible to not run out of breath

[@MysticTomatoMusic]

@radioface Matthew Shultz is one of the few singers that has real passion and soul. It's his raw, almost off key vocals and crazy stage antics that make Cage the Elephant so awesome. But I guess he could work on his lung capacity. He does get out of breath pretty often, but he can definitely sing. He just has a different style.

[@iMstrKrft]

@jjs182 Lol. Ever thought it was the same concert?

[@inconsistent6227]

Ed Sheeran killing it on guitar right now

[@TheCanky]

what's going on with those ppl's? CTE are so awesome and they are all just standing there omg .____.

[@gugugugu60]

1:59 I see a stirring

[@aaronJORDON]

@MattMoo504 Brad Shultz. The singer's brother

[@TheShitOhMy]

@lynnkiely why? because he has a rainbow strap?

[@PornoPlaylist]

lol at the drummer 2:13

[@fede22081]

My question is, did he ever faint while performing this song? If not, that's impressive

[@jason4485]

@DetIzRed I think it's the venue. I saw them 8/28/10 with STP...they rocked. It sounded much better than this video.

[@SeargentFirestone]

@countdowntonever They should come to Germany, we know how to party to this!

[@Meelad]

@UponLathering I'm not talking about the singing itself, I'm talking about the song as a whole. To say these guys don't have some kind of talent is a lie.

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

Drugged or High or hot or tired ... could not hardly get the words out.

[@OliveTART]

@ortsacknat - Nah, he just moves around too much. He's probably just tired. He sounds alright in other live videos.

[@radioface]

@mavarooroo whats your point?

[@volcom1722]

schultz sounds sooo tired and on drugs hahaha. rock out guys. 8)

[@paintballer1990]

@hillelslovakrip I've done coke once. I only did 3 lines but i had been smoking hash all day.

[@JoshWise1010]

The lead singer loves to play and listen to music, if music could get you drunk, he would be wasted.

[@MysticTomatoMusic]

@radioface But that's the point. You're not supposed to sing the right notes all the time. Matt expresses himself onstage through his shaky vocals and seizure-like dancing, something that is totally missing in today's music.

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

You're just making him sound shit. I don't really see the point in making the lyrics so fast to the point where you can't sing everything, and just miss parts out cause you're so out of breath.

[@wannabRanger]

sounds great but he really should focus on singing and breathing than shaking around so much, not that i mind that i just thinks hes spending to much energy trying to get his breath back from the shaking and then the singing just squeezes out with his last breath....

[@buffaloshultz4351]

0:20, how rude Matt! How rude!

[@UponLathering]

it sincerely makes me sad that people think this is talent

[@fenderisgood]

I was dissapointed the guitarist didnt do any improv

[@ortsacknat]

Studio band...I love them and they play great...but he only sounds good when he's in studio and they edit it

[@buffaloshultz4351]

*gasp* LIES.

[@UponLathering]

@xM4TTM4Nx you hurt my feelings :'( haha dude my talent has nothing to do with my perception of music. And I will go back to listening to real music

[@radioface]

@MysticTomatoMusic yah, he at least has to work on his breathing or lung capacity or whatever he needs to stop running out of air. but im not so sure he can sing.... maybe he has to sing the same song 50 times in the studio before getting the notes right...

[@Meelad]

@UponLathering Creating a catchy song does take talent. Miley Cyrus (or probably whoever writes her songs) have talent. Try to write a song that'll get stuck in the masses' heads and make their heads bob. It's difficult.

[@orangetoes223]

ha frank Zappa bass drum

[@CrossCentaur]

sry iamm THE singer IS the writer,singer ummmTHE ACT, if u will , ya, good backup if u will, but it is a BAND not a singer. U WILL HEAR from this band in the future!

[@DarkRuto1]

that crowd really does suck...if i was there i would of been screeming YEEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! lol

[@chubby987]

That bass player is the scrawniest dude I've ever seen. And I'm a scrawny motherfucker.

[@sxyspaz]

@JoshPahr are you wasted? that whole sentence makes no sense. lol

[@UponLathering]

@Meelad360 dude.... no its so easy hahaha it's hard to get it stuck in the heads of many people because that takes time or money. Miley Cyrus has a shit ton of money. To pay for expensive softwares that can make her sound good over generic pop tunes. As for this band... honestly i really think they just aren't that good. I mean they're entertaining their fans which is great and it's getting the job done. But to say they possess any sort of unique talent is a lie

[@darn6]

I swear the singer is in heroin. He acts like it, and he has an armband on. Im guessing the armband is for something else, but i thought id put that out there. Also, if you look at other live videos, he messes up the vocals a lot, including moving the mic away too soon.

[@UponLathering]

@Meelad360 Well i don't think they possess good song writing skills haha. And creating a catchy song does not take talent. Miley Cyrus is catchy.... I'm not saying they suck. They just AREN'T THAT GOOD. Everyone raves about this band and its just super generic rock. Some people are into that, cool. I'm just not impressed because it's been done before a thousand times and i wont waste my time listening to it when i can go back and listen to better versions of them haha

[@panchomanygonzoman]

the bassist looks like Kurt Cobain 'cause you cant see his face

[@JoshWise1010]

If music was alcoholic, Matt would be wasted.

[@IVIichael0994]

@TheBadness98 not all bands ahah. and yeah this live performance sucks. ive seen better from them

[@CrossCentaur]

they r playin too fuckin ZOMBIES i hate this i hate this!

[@swimmer71192]

maybe he cant afford other clothes?

[@paintballer1990]

@thejayhogart I never doubted his musical ability so your rant was unfortunately pointless. I don't know what kind of coke you've been doing but yes, that is what people act like, from my personal observations at least.

[@buffaloshultz4351]

Crowd's lame.

[@sxyspaz]

are you kidding. I fuckin love this band... but you're all talking about how good this sounds, and i think he must be hella fucked up for this performance. He ran out of breath a number of times, and couldn't finish the verse. maybe this was just a bad example, but this was a terrible live performance

[@zitttu]

there is no point in this, he's out of breath

[@UponLathering]

@kornholioa the guitarist IS really good* which i disagree with. It's just super generic rock... bringing nothing new. Their lyrics are OK but there's just nothing particularly good about these guys. every song sounds the same and the songs are boring
