Japandroids perform "Fire's Highway" at Pitchfork Music Festival 2012

[@Auroron]

The shot at 2:31 is so great I cant even grasp it, timing with the water, the headbanging, the climax of the song, everything

[@christiandidriksen3061]

The water bottle exploding at 2:30 is timed perfect

[@whatacoolbean331]

I'm proud to say that I was apart of that mosh. One of the greatest days, ever. And I actually remember there being a few girls in the mosh pit, maybe it was later in the show.

[@217potato]

This is what Rock n Roll is all about. The best band in the world.

[@IronyTheOh]

saw them in glasgow, one of the best gigs i've ever been to.

[@monkeyxx]

he's running through two Fender Twins, two Marshall full stacks, and a full stack bass amp, probably all at the same time sounds like

[@pattykils]

This may be the first video that does their sound justice. Usually you only hear the clean signal from the guitar.

[@georgeredhawk1996]

I watch this vid and I don't want them to stop.

[@monkeyxx]

very cool, taking notice of this band

[@HisLordDudeness]

Just.......just too fucking good.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@troy_47]

kickass performance

[@timofeie]

2:31 it look's so awesome how someone threw water totally in sync.

[@bmxman2good4u]

This is what concerts should look like! No phones!

[@vcalmel7]

100% agree ! saw them in paris , small concert hall , not much phones , real pleasure !

[@coryander4918]

This was 2012 though, so it was way different

[@roydagger]

Thanx man.Iv always wondered when I see a two piece.I come away thinking "I didn't miss the bass at all". Now I have some idea of how they cover that low end

[@Yeastlord]

The fucking energy they give off.I need to seem them live.

[@richraju453]

Absolute 🔥

[@startervisions]

they sound like 80's, 90's, and 2000's influences...they're a really interesting mix of Melodic Hardcore and Garage Rock...which is interesting because i don't know if those two things have been mixed very often...it kinda sounds like DC Emocore, Alternative era Skate Punk, and Y2K Noisy Garage Rock Revival...

[@diegoambrosio9903]

Total kickass!

[@greenxtherapy]

WHo cares when they start to fizzle, right now they're fire!

[@rileywebb9]

revolutionary.

[@gar992000]

How does he have his guitar hooked up to multiple amps? Through direct outputs on guitar pedals? Cause I'm sure that's how he has such an awesome sound…

[@Hinternet]

David was having too much fun on those drums lmao

[@09hanley]

Thanks for explaining this man, been looking for a way to play this style!

[@garyhicks1473]

Epic!

[@Jasperge]

Once heard cannot be unheard :(

[@Benjamin_Bratten]

Pitchfork music festival Paris! Gonna be sick.

[@7doors847]

Energy!!!

[@sebastianlangan3640]

This is sick

[@eliasInfame]

more power !!

[@DelusionalVoice]

it's split into three amps; the ampeg, the plexi, and the twin

[@nickodemus84]

Holy shit it's a real rock band in the year 2012. Perhaps all is not lost....

[@TheTrueKailash]

YEAH!

[@Grumpeljism]

around 2:40 you can definately hear a bass track when he's playing his solo. There is definately something different than the solo he is playing.

[@sum1990]

fuckin amazing

[@Bubbamiester1000]

it sounds like he is doing this : fuzzzzzz pedal(s) >amp or just a seriously blown speaker + cranked amp guitar> volume boost to cut through the fuzz>clean amp

[@frederiklippert]

Rock n' roll energy!!!! No more no less :)

[@GamletOvi4]

it sounds like the studio version, quality mark

[@shonuffLA]

it goes

[@babaganoujband]

It's an Ampeg SVT something - a bass amplifier.

[@Unrevolutionize]

rock n fucking roll!

[@EricMeyerson]

These guys rule.

[@xXcloudlowellXx]

it's a six string, he's has it plugged into two different amps

[@willt.9654]

Had a chance to see these guys live for free back in high school and I regret not ditching class for it everyday

[@metsstudiosurf6576]

Douche

[@TheZatrahc]

Saw them at this very same festival this year. Can confirm: no fizzling.

[@mohdzulfadli6276]

Luke Schwartz 'no fizzling' sounds like a good song title. thanks for confirming.

[@NPCmiro]

What a guy.

[@ckg3362]

You can clearly see how the singer is inspired by The Clash in his scene language

[@FeelingTehRUSH]

I wish I knew how to play this song, I only have the intro and im pretty sure its incomplete

[@sonorpaiste702]

Love these guys, but I'm afraid they're going to fizzle out in a few years. Brian's voice is always blown out on their tours and has to sing in a lower key in almost every live video I've seen

[@sarah48955]

Its the one billion cigarettes he smokes every day.. although I've seen them play here twice in aus recently & they still kick ass. The videos don't do the atmosphere justice at all.

[@hp123434]

The brightest flames burn the quickest.

[@KVGerudo]

who knows man, it could be a metamorphosis. some people keep tearing it up and just get better through the abuse.

[@isamarchambers]

well, look at green day for instance, they did drugs and smoked in the 90's and then they stopped in the 2000's (btw, GD is my 2nd fav band these guys are my fav band)

[@Mitch-Cumstein]

+sonorpaiste702 well he sang on key on this one? And pretty much in every other live show Ive listened them in. The only one being is that late night show that they did which was terrible.

[@MttSuddarth]

I'm pretty positive he's in an open tuning and is using his thumb to play the bass notes.

[@sirtristan01]

I fucking talked to Brian and Damon yesterday!

[@Mortalgamer1]

Tristan S what did they say?

[@Grumpeljism]

does anyone know if he has a pedal where he can loop the rythm parts and solo over it, that may be what's going on, it definately sounds like his guitar playing the rythm behind the solo not a bass

[@TweedleDump]

Drummer has a hot snakes tshirt, fuck yea; Plenty for All!

[@verdeagua4]

Es el vocalista de Howler en primer fila en el minuto 1:24 !?

[@richraju453]

Wow, let em cook

[@thornnattakuta8919]

It is

[@caltech09]

What make is the amp he plays on the far left? I keep seeing them and don't know what make it is!

[@amradio1984]

drummer reppin the hot snakes. word.

[@cubyman23]

Does anyone know the chords???

[@alejandrodamianespinosaled9134]

Yeah i wanto rock

[@GEEKMADE]

Band of 2 people, original!

[@metrakos]

These guys r really carrying the husked du torch..... Dig

[@Bubbamiester1000]

plus a splitter

[@gabu232]

can someone please tell me if he is using a six string or a twelve. Sounds like he has twelve, but I can only see six.

[@STARisRAWR]

does the drummer always wear the same shirt?

[@matchinpunchies5387]

would be a great idea if we lived anywhere but Greece, unfortunately this is a pretty good way to get people to know you, so if you`re too closeminded to check our band don`t but i`m sure you won`t regret it.

[@epicness14]

Thus the ampeg rig

[@mattsturgis]

dude at 1:24 is totally jizzing

[@oananbr]

>2012 >Disliking a Japandroids video shiggidy

[@StickManga]

drummer has a hot snakes shirt on...i am so in

[@FlyBird]

Yeah dude, all the girls were way in the back, they didn't want to be smashed against a bunch of people

[@punkmusicmetal]

So... pop punk for adults...?

[@Cantfindmysocks]

Hm maybe college/garage rock. Pop punk is more about wearing snapbacks, having plugs, eating pizza and blaming your home town for whatever thats wrong with you.

[@solidsnakejake185]

Randy Garcia HAHA hit the fuckin nail on the head

[@Th3Gumbo]

metalskim I hate to sound like a hipster and shit, well actually I don't, but anyway I think people should try not to think about labels when it comes to bands like this. These guys just rock, plain and simple. That's all they're about.

[@TheBillswill]

these guys sound like every 80s halifax pub band. seriously, this halfway decent at best? where's my scratchy pogues record.

[@topalo836]

2:39 lol

[@babaganoujband]

He'd have some sort of splitter. Yeah, going into multiple amps is what you do if you're a BIGG DOGG.

[@sabrezfan9]

That amp setup. hnnng.jpg

[@Pogs4Fathersday]

HOT SNAKES T-SHIRT!

[@myfriedme]

i know that kid irl LOL

[@RobPalmer454]

LOL!

[@dankot87]

PUNK ROCK SPRINGSTEEN

[@SaredJolomon]

D A F#m E

[@cubyman23]

It's s6 string

[@RobPalmer454]

ah i see

[@TheMrbeasely]

Post your own KZbin clips and stop using Japandroids to market your stuff.

[@sissyfist]

Why can I hear a bass track

[@katiek7237]

tiggoughttt tight pants

[@DJMagicFinga]

Press 3 repeatedly.

[@diegocombi]

puta qué paja

[@evilalman]

"31 likes" Gets 20 dislikes

[@bobscarlett808]

because most black people like rap

[@RobPalmer454]

sausagefest lol xD

[@itamartoribio2011]

Awman, poor DRUMS. That's how to properly treat them ladies and gentlemen.

[@42cosmonauts]

what are those? third-world skinny jeans?

[@FrothyLoins123]

i only like the name..

[@matchinpunchies5387]

won`t regret it if you do*

[@claws6190]

oioioi yiuyrcsyuydfgyu guys soooooooooooooooooooooooooo safe

[@Indrid-Cold]

When your only job is to play power chords to backing tracks, while listening to a click track, is it really so much to ask that you actually learn how to sing, and play in time???

[@concars1234]

probably on a lot of drugs considering its the summer of 2012 in new york and you're playing a rock show

[@SEBattleship]

These guys are the worst. They have a lot of energy, but I find their music completely devoid of any substance. I do not get the hype
