New HUM album 10 years later, check it out, support the band www.humbandofficial.com/ (it's great, worth the wait)

[@DeaDBodYDecoY]

and it RULES

[@ronriggs9954]

I used to work the graveyard shift at a gas station as a cashier and we had a TV in there and these guys came on, one of those late night talk shows and I had never heard of them and was really close to changing the channel, thinking.... "who the hell are these nerds?" but then as soon as some of that rumbling distortion started to kick in... I was elated that I did not change the channel and I went out the very next day and bought the album!

[@fobia-9024]

Same here! It was on Howard Stern show for me !!

[@jackgill9965]

@@fobia-9024I love when the whole band comes in and blows out Fred’s ears.

[@cronkitesatellite]

One of the best songs of the 90's

[@___David___Savian]

I remember the first time I ever heard Hum. They were on the Howard Stern Show here in New York City and Howard's sound guy Fred Norris didn't want them to put the amps in the small studio Howard was in at K Rock. So Fred basically was talking down to the whole band in the hallway saying you guys can't bring the amps in because it will sound too loud and terrible. Eventually they compromised and the drummer played in the hallway while the rest played in the studio while the lead singer had his back to Fred in protest and they played this song. Howard already loved the song and they sounded INCREDIBLE shutting Fred's mouth and basically bitch slapping with the great performance. I will never forget that appearance and this iconic song !!!!

[@domswift7492]

Awesome!

[@tyrekecantrell5941]

So cool!

[@fobia-9024]

That’s when i went out to buy their CD -

[@chrisclausen4093]

To hell with Fred!!!

[@willwillwill333]

Howard's studio was in Philadelphia when they were on wasn't it?

[@Vivid101]

Love these guys. Last HUM show I was at was at Metro in 1995. Silverchair opened for them.

[@scottelectronic]

Christ, what a show.

[@ChainChomp122]

They’re back! New album is just as good as the old stuff too

[@jeffhaer]

I met those guys,,, couldn't have been nicer

Almost 6 years and not a single dislike. Maybe there's hope for humanity after all.

[@Crustyundy]

one of the most underrated alternative bands for sure during the day so glad to see em still sounding as good 15 years later as they did back when picks up chair and throws it across the room and starts to slam dance

[@___David___Savian]

In the middle of that song when they get into that Godly riff its as if they are normal everyday guys up to that point and when the riff starts they take off their shirts and all four become Marvel Comics super heros that are there to conquer and take no prisoners. I have felt that feeling every single time I've heard this song on the radio or during a performance. It's as if they elevate physically and rise up to the stratosphere when only the giants of music live. Damn !!!!!

[@cplach]

This was such an amazing show. I had a teacher who recorded and produced Downward is Heavenward and got me into them.

[@oksotheresthat6185]

These giys introduced me to one of my favorite bands of all time (Shiner) and for that I am forever thankfull.

[@erasethegrey78]

Love this band! 3:58 I love how the song is arranged. Epic chorus. I miss this kind of music.

[@neuregel]

wow had no idea these guys were still doing shows. Loved astronaut when it came out!!! fucking awesome!!

[@seanpratten9221]

One of my favorite songs of all time! Criminally underrated.

[@icapfordollars9214]

Just listened to this today. Love this song.

[@brianbnd6117]

Thank you for this Masterpiece.

[@billhelmerich4295]

RIP Bryan St. Pere!

[@davidsekowski1710]

This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.. never gets old..,

[@thenickleby]

Yes! I was there, front row, and it was amazing.

[@muskratwiser4700]

You still have any hearing left? 😝

[@JayBuff19]

Pritzker Pavilion, my friend and I flew from L.A. to see this show. It was amazing. He passed a few years later, but a good memory of our time together. Thanks Hum!

[@OliveLo-Fi]

Awww man. This vid made me smile :)

[@crystalwiser5980]

One of my favorite bands as a kid next to blink and weezer.

[@JoshBM1981]

High school nostalgia right here..❤️🤟🔥

[@tinkerbellys12]

love this band! so damn much.. I wish they could come to Portland Oregon!

[@GoSolar]

I had no idea they still played. they still kick ass.

[@empresto7516]

First time i heard this on a local radio. It changed my view in music. You can be a nerd and play the most heaviest riff

[@tymco210]

I thought this band broke up. man im so happy too see them playing. I hope too see them. TY for uploading this.

[@WHVN3S]

Rock on Hummmmm!!! I remember you guys from the Stern show!! I was working construction that day you rocked my socks off!! Bravoooo dudes!

[@Undaglibenglaubengloben]

Looks like they left a lot of the energy behind

[@SimonB.]

Gunnar Thiessen what do you expect? they are like in their 50's now ;D

[@Lance37a]

Gunnar Thiessen the drummer is still bringing it. The song is not as intense as it used to be, it still rocks though.

[@johnr2630]

I agree

[@dw-nb2zh]

4:03 greatest riff in history of music

[@tackett44]

Thanks for posting.

[@looshkin66]

they've been here a couple of times( once at La Luna)....years ago when i was like 16-17ish. Probably never gonna see them here again though....

[@TennesseeFats2]

Looks like they still got it!

[@ThePrescottman]

I had no idea they were still touring, yet alone together!! Come to New York!!!

[@morganevans9991]

still can't believe i was at this show

[@LeLoulouZoulou]

Always the same energy .... Around 20 years later. Great !!

[@fatsamurai869]

Person in the Shai Hulud hoodie is a real one

[@adrienroy9310]

This song was one of my favorites when I was a teenager. I've been listening to it a lot lately. Must say I was a bit bummed to see them older and not as enthusiastic....and this was eight years ago. It's a reminder how fast life goes. Who knew I'd be 40 and lame so soon, it was kryptonite to the angst ridden teenagers of the 90's. Sigh

[@barrypfost2963]

What a great song!

[@anthonyjordan6162]

Still rockin and killin it!!!

[@madbbqer4343]

The riff at @4:02 . Goddamn, that riff!

Great sound, I hope I get the opportunity to see you guys in Chicago if you ever play there again...... Da Bears

I found hum on a 411vm i believe it was issue 16. 411vm is a skateboard video magazine.

The end of the song, last minute or so, saves it.

I want a dvd of this show made! Awesome!

[@looshkin66]

that solo fucking kill me every time.

[@mascisken]

@LameWireV3 Pumping it all the way. Listening to Poe as of now. Music as good as this should never fade away so easily. At least there's Lana Del Rey to carry Poe's torch. Really don't know if its a good or bad thing though.

[@duplitoaejr]

That back row audience looks so pumped up in the beginning of the video.

[@JackoReaper]

Man please god let HUM make an album soon and kick the music industry in the ass.

[@ramm0]

you’re in luck buddy! new album out now!

[@stargazer710]

This music is timeless! I hope they know how much Hum means to a LOT of people. Not just the juggernaut sound but the poetry as well. But the band just looks bored with the music and with each other. Rather they not reunite and record a listless album.

[@VinMetal666]

Aw shit they should do a tour

[@schloo]

You could have told me this was a bunch of dads in a cover band and i would have believed you.

[@fooluvatook]

fuck yeah - great find

Great video. You should use KZbin's image stabilization feature to take out some of the shaking. Thanks for posting.

[@setflavius8049]

Do these guys still make new music?

[@HummingPumpkin]

According to the singer's studio site, Earth Analog (great name!), they are/were working on new material.

[@mascisken]

Judging from the number of bald patches just shows how much us Gen-Xers have aged since the glory days of the 90s. Sigh...good times, good times.

pushing 50 for these guys......damn what a band. to bad ego and contract got in the way

[@EthanBurks]

are they still a band?

[@kenshin73himura70]

6 dislikes!...must be millenials. A talented band that PLAYS their own instruments, something they don't understand. If it's not autotune, is not music to them. 😉

[@TheVioletBunny]

[@assrammington7961]

Millennials were born from 1980-1995. Plenty of us like metal, punk and rock. The Z gens are the ones that only like mumble rap and auto tune
