John Butler Trio-Fire in the Sky (live at Federation Square)

[@ThePocketier]

This man is so incredibly consistent. No bad performances, in fact the lives just sound like better versions of the recordings. The way it should be

[@UtterlyClueless1]

It's even more consistent when you listen to this same recording once a week 😂

[@momentomorihumanus]

the pure happiness that radiates from this song is incredible. It is impossible not to groove along with this. Its one of those songs that makes you happy no matter what. God i love this :)

[@ShenayHudaverdi]

man, he makes my heart pound and gives me shivers and goospumbs galore!

[@PraiseHolyTrinity]

Thank You, Most Holy Trinity in One God for the gift of music through John Butler Trio.

[@comondeps]

I saw John Butler last summer, and it was one of the coolest concerts I have been to. He is just as good now as he was here.

[@YngwiesDaughter13]

i want to see them a million times again.............

[@crashfleo]

I can´t find a word for this song....it´s the best song i´ve ever heard...fantastic,true beautiful....short.....it´s a perfect masterpiece of music

[@sketchturner88]

I can imagine walking down a dusty road with the sun hitting my back to this song

[@irishtourist]

I discovered John Butler Trio 2 yrs ago while in Ausieland... In my opinion theyre one of the best bands ive heard! I wish i had a visa to go back!! haha

[@123youngster]

[@MrBRREEETTTT]

Only John Butler can sum up the problems wrong with humanity in such beautiful way in 5 minutes.

[@mctrikster]

that drummer is awesome

[@practicalcheese00]

LOOOVEEEEE THIS SONG! JBT FTW!!

[@sooperdude1992]

i watched them in concert in sydney about a week ago now.. amazing... hes way better live too.

[@Icecreamconekid2000]

the crowd should jump much more around! I would! They are just fantastic! JBT wuhuu

[@RedSkyTree1]

How awesome does one have to be to slide a harmonic? love that sound

[@vater513]

Song is obviously awesome but after 4 minutes. Shit gets crazy. One love jbt!

[@amybro1]

HOW CAN ANYONE DISLIKE THIS?

[@DninK]

RIP the old John Butler trio! New one sucks! John Butler had the most amazing drummer I've ever heard, and badass bass player! Why would he change it?

[@pandywarhol91]

He's consistently changed the lineup. He's allowed artistic expression

[@stateradio017]

I dont understand how one can kill a man in the name peace, thats ridiculous best line

[@damnnargles]

@irishtourist Me too,I heard him whilst I was in Austalia in 2001, he's playin the Olympia in April..

[@MrJayfaced]

you can hear where he came from here to one way road. both great songs

[@TomerSapar]

This is allegedly a happy song, but the lyrics are very deep & emotional. For me it's just about the irony in goverments and authorities letting citizens die in redundant wars ("The more we fight we sink"). I don't want to start a political argument here but the song's lyrics kinda remind me of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "How one can kill a man in the name of peace" - that sentence just sums up the ridiculousness in the terror attacks towards Israel ("They say eye for an eye so they fire in the sky and they come outta nowhere") in the last few years by extremist muslims because of old arguments that are still going on, and how the Palestinian goverment supports them backstage. However, the Israeli goverment change nothing by sending their best children into a useless war in which both sides get casualties ("And as those children die, pawns in the game of collateral damage, the whole world goes mad). What we get is a never-ending sad situation. That's at least my point of view of this song, i'd love to read some interpretations but again, don't want it to become a full-hatred political argument. Peace & Love.

[@lealf]

Yeah you are right.

[@joshanderson3315]

No matter what, war is terrible. It's inevitable, because well, we're human. I like the way you perceive the song. I see that it can relate to the conflict in Syria. Assad killing his own people, the US and Russia bombing both sides. I am not against the military in any way (I plan on serving), but there are just some wars we shouldn't get involved in. War is terrible but never changes. I love this song too much to get into politics, but you were spot on with your example!

[@wecomeinpeace5082]

But I understand. That I will defend. My family from this type of miserrryyyy

[@AXIOMATIKA]

Michael Barker & Shannon Birchell are playing their last shows on this tour, as far as I can see it's just planned to be a lineup change rather than hiatus or ending.

[@Jimmyd2107]

It's a shame that michael and shannon have left/been kicked out and replaced. They were some great qualities. JB3 FOREVER!

[@frederikthaysen6931]

When he sings like this he sounds a bit like Anthony Kiedis from RHCP!

[@TeeAreify]

Holy shit.

[@damnnargles]

@aceridgey Micheal is endorsed by Pearl and Zilidjian. He uses a Pearl Reference kit and quite correct a brass snare.. Pity he is no longer with JBT.

[@MissPissJunior]

great music... and hot guy ^^

[@Phazaar]

@pobanmanu It's on the pointlessness of war for religion. Questionable line is 'But I understand that I will defend my family from both sides of misery' - suggests that perhaps war is necessary, or it's ironic/satirical. The 'both sides' of misery is the really confusing part though. Read it as you will I guess :)

[@thaedda]

these guys are amazing! i'm looking foward seeing them on wednesday in munich =) zanedude3, can you please upload pickapart from the federation square concert?

[@lithbreed1981]

Both are great tho! :) Money well spent!

[@Buckethead1221]

Oh. My. God. The solo at the end.......... brb changing pants

[@tabby1990]

@tehhhhhd oh, that's danny carey from tool? man...it' getting better and better :D

[@mcdan84]

Happy music coupled with fatalistic lyrics...fucking brilliant.

[@YourMaIsFit]

Holy shit...I have one of the highest rated comments...you guys are total bro's!!!! Long live JBT hahahahah

[@IkranMan]

Remind me red hot!

[@1313RAH]

If u liked this u will love the song SOULMOBILIN search it great guitarist!!

[@YouKnowUAreRight]

@ClassicalGuitarRulez Nope his name is Michael Barker

[@ZAKEREE]

Plz I am Begging Has Any1 Got The Tabs 4 This Song Plz Plz Cheers

[@tehhhhhd]

@freakyNina No, no. It's not, we were just talking about Danny Carey ;)

[@pawan1337]

Can't remember exactly but i think it's Open Cm half a step down. so B F# B F# B D. Failing that just tune Open C and tune your high e down half a step.

[@YourMaIsFit]

It's actually in a way depressing how good he is at creating beautiful music...he knows basically no theory and taught himself...this man is a modern day Kurt Cobain or John Lennon or Jimi Hendrix...its sad to see that so little people have heard of him where I come from.

[@zanedude3]

@tehhhhhd amen to that brother

[@gupta5882]

as we make amends by getting our revenge, We sort nothing out, just add to the doubt and God on both sides, if death is justified, whatever the name, then we're all to blame But I dont understand how one can kill a man in the name peace, thats ridiculous But I understand that I will defend my family from both sides of misery

[@SolidScream]

Anyone know a really good tab for this song? Or even better, a guitar pro file?

[@ClassicalGuitarRulez]

@zanedude3 Tool? Is him Danny Carey? I don't think so...

[@tehhhhhd]

@freakyNina He suuuuure does! Fuckin' beast :D

[@rogeliok37]

@YourMaIsFit the best comment I read

[@PasterOfPrupets]

they are ending but jb wil just find some other band members , and for now he just does it solo

[@gerrywm20]

You mean the gig in Dublin?? What about Michael?

[@neikocaroline]

They are inappropriately great

[@SGWAF]

august rush?

[@tehhhhhd]

@zanedude3 Third. Danny Carey is just that awesome.

[@BirdlandRadio]

That's a drummer!

[@CammojoDragon97]

lap guitar is really hard to get used to if youve been playing guitar normally, and slide is just harder anyway

[@OoGihstriioO]

whats the tuning? is it the same as with Treat Yo Mama? DADDAD???!?!?

[@Miniamahog]

what tuning is this song in? anyone know?

[@lilmoon199]

where?

[@zanedude3]

@beeceebee1 true shit right there, the drummer from Tool is good

[@gesztidaniel]

We need new words for newsic (music.:) like this Rhytmelody? .:)

[@Britalex]

Lol drummer is using a pearl bass and DW toms.. who he endorsed to ;) ? :P

[@luxa336]

@SookieRox o da. :D

[@shtty17]

[@luxa336]

@SookieRox you're from croatia? :D

[@YngwiesDaughter13]

@YourMaIsFit Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? Not to be a freakazoid...

[@CBeeman1988]

JBT IS THE SHIT

[@anniebells_xo]

nooooooooooooooo. this is not happening to another of my favorite bands again. *heart shatters into a kazillion pieces*

[@chicotel09]

that is not Danny Carey from Tool....Michael Barker

[@pobanmanu]

Is this song against Islamic terrorism or about 911???

[@tabby1990]

@tehhhhhd ah okay :D danny carey rules ;D

[@ZMWinkler]

@DarrenJaguar both would've been helpful in this situation.

[@UtterlyClueless1]

Uncle john is phenomenal but the basic timing and consistency of the drummer is dedinitely a key part of the performance i keep looking over in my drunken state

[@InnuendoXP]

I think he easily compares to Tools drummer he's that good

[@hpsnoob]

thekoda is so fucking right llo

[@winzertyp9550]

@zanedude3 tool? what the fuck ... do you know george kollias ? he is the drummer of nile ;)

[@nerdalert12345]

@nathanmueller23 i have no clue what half of those words are. SPEAK ENGLISH

[@TheEditingShop]

Bloody hell I am bored with these stoners associating JBT with sparking one up and thinking that's what it's about. How about listening to the song and clearing your 'erb raddled head for a sec!

[@liamtubsy3767]

TheEditingShop Dude! JBT represents peace more than many other things! Marijuana stands for that, too!
