Singer: Lets play a semitone higher today Bassist: Cool Keyboard player: Grand Guitarist: What did you say, Saffy? Drummer: What the f**k do I care I'm not a musician. one and two and three and four and.......

[@viccypress6292]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@seethroughhead505]

Which bass player would that be?

[@wrinkleneckbass]

I love this band and this song. Saffron is still so beautiful and animated and always smiling.

[@FestivoTV]

A classic anthem from Republica. Does thing song bring back good memories for you?

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

Guitarist is horrible. Guitar is out of tune. Baby, he's not ready to go!

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

Guitar and voice out of tune. Painful.

[@Felix6462]

I agree with u @knifeforkandaspoon

[@MichaelDouglas-zs3bq]

knifeforkandaspoon How come all the dudes pants are saggin like poopy drawres!?

[@rjsrox07]

Not only was he out of tune, He was playing the wrong notes. lol

[@critter7052]

Agreed, knifeforkandspoon, not one of their better performances!

[@carlosquiroz8805]

Saffron is still so beautiful and energetic, she is a great frontwoman !!!

[@wallacecochrane5899]

They rock!

[@conorlawrence6762]

Hi, Conor here, the drummer from Republica...just been reading the comments - ouch!! To be fair, we were having an off day, in fact probably one of our worst! We had a whole heap of technical nightmares on stage that day: In-ear monitors failed, drum heads broke, guitars going horrendously out of tune, the laptop was playing up. Everything just gave up for no reason! Give us a break and go and watch some of our other performances on KZbin before you pass judgement. We'll listen to your criticisms when you've had a platinum selling album, and gone to No. 1 in 14 different countries :-) Peace! X

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

I can sympathize, it's never perfect 100% of the time, and sometimes you're at the mercy of things that just won't cooperate. There is no worse feeling in the world than being on stage and having shit go south. Been there, done that. Hard to find a hole to crawl into when you're bombing in front of a lot of people! :)

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

Oh, and you get extra credit, because you followed the first rule of performing when something goes wrong... you NEVER stop the song.

[@VictoriaWonders]

I thought It sounded still great and love to see you guys back!!!

[@cristianproust]

Respect.

[@varukerbrains]

great drumming dude - I know what its like to be rigged to a click track. great performance mate. nothing to apologise for.

[@malena2467]

💥💫☄️"Republica" always FUN and YOUTHFUL💥💫☄️

[@Animate1993]

Happiness is but a half-step away...

[@BackXDash]

2:55 "Honey... the fuck are you doing?"

[@chrisleeworld]

Guitarist is way out of tune when it kicks in. He is not ready to go at all.

[@Alejandro-oq8dl]

Guitar is ready to NOT go

[@Dozereyes]

@@Alejandro-oq8dl guitar is not ready to go

[@GabiRoseMusic]

And vocals flat every time 🙈

[@rjmprod]

Really…? That’s what you got out of that performance? And that was what was important to you with ears so pure…. I bet you a real live wire at a party and if you have a band, and your that anal about being in tune, the others would love to piss in your face…!

[@Blue.Lightning4]

Ouch. Love the song. Not the best performance.

[@maxxmann1972]

Freaking awesome. Thanks for this FestivoTV.

[@thiagovillas846]

Great performance !

[@seyvend]

Looks like the drummer for Republica deleted his arsey comment. Where he pretty much said we weren’t entitled to criticise this performance because we’d never penned a hit like Ready To Go. Only to then be called out by everyone because he wasn’t even in the band at the time the song was released.

[@davidtsang4949]

Nope, that comment is still there unfortunately...

[@benedictearlson9044]

Ready to tune the fuck up.

[@bizzarepop]

I think the guitar guy lost his ears.. He is playing wrong riff, and his back vocals are from totaly different tones...But Saffron is always awesome!

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

I don’t know why but there’s something about this song that I love

[@anthonyquispe422]

I am not a professional musician but I do have an understanding. I only discovered this Band 2 years ago. It started with Ready to Go and then I listen to the other tracks on KZbin. Excellent band even though you joined later Connor, you were chosen for an ability that Republica noticed. Good work.

[@RefereeDahmer]

Speaking from the perspective of a touring band, shit happens. Guitars go out (especially at outdoor shows and with drop tuning). There's many examples of Republica absolutely kicking ass on KZbin. There are posts of my own band that I'm not proud of (and would literally pay to have removed) but that's life in social media!! I love this band and would never be deterred from seeing them based on 1 off day! Love to all of you.

[@JonnyNonsenseUK]

Yeah but I have seen pub bands fix a tuning problem in 10 seconds - this is a big band and they can’t do it?? Someone buy this man a tuner pedal.

[@markzane8542]

Saffron I love you!

[@chrisglendinning195]

Love you guys

[@freddiehandley278]

wheres the bassist and who IS PLAYING THE SOLO

[@dzejlanrask]

That was Amazing!!!! Great performance

[@DelDuio]

Guitarist: Imma sabotage this in 3,2..

[@cerati900]

LOVE 90S

[@buttybox6024]

Saffron performed brilliantly despite an out of tune guitar - she is such a trooper. Techy issues are hideous in a live performance - I know, I've had sh*tty monitors giving no foldback at all. But, you just crack on with it! Well done Republica - you rocked.

[@WayneHayes-jr7uj]

1 of my favorite songs

[@sonsofthetribe]

What key is the guitar in horrible

[@davidmccarthy6053]

Super clear picture nice to see

[@SuperJBrowne]

Strange, in the chorus they sound in tune, maybe they were in drop D the previous song and didn't get back to pitch?

[@unixfreak]

Yeah but the other way round, this song is played in Drop D. Guitarist was probably a few cents out of tune -- can easily happen if you quickly tune down from E for the next song on a live set.

[@diegoforte3020]

Drop d.tune is for the riff. This asshole must be playing the riff in standart tuning

[@rjmprod]

The best…love her and this song……!

[@jimmyr9468]

Want to hear a GOOD live performance of this song? Search their Conan O'Brien appearance from the 1997. They kicked ass in that one.

[@904PinballZine]

I miss the 90s!

[@simonthomas5113]

Total dischord on this one. The root is meant to be D on the verse but I cannot figure what is going on here. The singer does well to ride through it :o)

[@unixfreak]

The bottom E string is out by a few cents. That's why it sounds like that. The song is played in Drop D tuning. (DADGBe) Basically the D string is either a bit sharp or flat.

[@davegrig8604]

no excuses. either right or crappy@@unixfreak

[@MosheAlvarez]

OMFG that guitar player's low E string is out of tune!

[@mikkyb9394]

+Moshe Alvarez Thank You, wildly out of tune... I'd rather hear someone tuning, loud as hell, before I'd like to hear a song played out of tune.

[@MosheAlvarez]

+Mikky B Still a great band I'll say

[@mikkyb9394]

yeah true

[@victorthegroover]

+Mikky B u know what, I think it is on purpose O.o its another key... u cant be that out of tune and not solvin it, can you? O.O

[@MosheAlvarez]

Obviously, yes you can be that out of tune. That guitar tech didn't tune the guitar before handing it to the guitar player. Some tech's get fired for something like that

[@CinematicMaj]

this is awful.....but she looks good still

[@thomasmarkanthony.]

OK so the lesson here is that if you're tone-deaf and/or stoned, you shouldn't be allowed to tune your own guitar and/or sing backing vocals.

[@dean4559]

What's up w the out of tune guitar lick during the verses? He is a 1/2 step off key

[@harryhonda6895]

Saffron: Jump, jump, jump, jump Bored crowd: No you're alright cheers!

[@rackaid14]

1:08

[@BucketListBadass]

Gained some weight, didn't age much, kept her same hairstyle, still cute and still got the moves

[@daviz2519]

Saffron is back.yeahhh

[@brianhanson]

Just a great song.

[@SWATKAT1]

She is 46 so her voice have change but I still like her.

[@Dungon48]

you lucky person

[@NeedsEvidence]

Cool song! The guitar! Awesome!

[@FestivoTV]

It's a classic! Great live version.

[@laportama]

+FestivoTV A LOT of sweetners.

[@davidsweetzer3016]

Yesyes

[@QuicksilverSG]

Looks great, sounds horrible. Whoever remixed the channels recorded from the sound board made a hopeless mess of this performance. (And yes, I know the guitar was off-key, but that's no excuse for the mix.)

[@noncounterproductive4596]

On KZbin there is a performance by them recorded at a small venue that is way, way better than this.

[@shakal04]

Luckily his voice fits his guitar :-D

[@mutedisease21]

C-R-A-P ! This performance of an otherwise quite decent song.

[@ASMRBass]

Do you even tune?

[@DragonKing3354]

yup...she's back

[@markgreet3543]

Wow she's is amazing looking great band and decent songs, very underrated.

[@reginaldoneves5503]

Great song...

[@trysometruth]

Saffron still amazing to look at and her voice is absolutely the same, completely on target and great. Drummer isn't as good as the original. Keyboardist is fine. Guitarist? He's not in the right industry. It's really a shame. It's not just that the guitar is unbelievably out of tune, so are his vocals, and in another live version in a smaller venue that is a decided improvement on this performance, his vocals are _still_ horribly out of tune. Still is a wonderful song though.

[@noopyorg]

The beauty of this performance is that nobody (well, except for people here) know that there is a ton wrong with it.

[@freddychs1]

Excelente presentacion,..

[@leewoolley1622]

Jeez the drummers into it isn’t he what energy he has ,he’s Charlie watt’s reincarnation

[@worldofgreenhell]

do you even tune right?

[@Ni5ei]

Holy crap! What the hell was wrong with that guitar being completely out of tune??? Sounds like a digital backing recording being played at the wrong bitrate. (44KHz vs 48KHz)

[@dambo175]

Hi Connor although you had instrumental and timing issues still was not a bad performance. After all you managed to do the best.

[@tehsimo]

tune that frigging guitar.

[@thisdisguise84]

Sooooo Out Of Tune Breuuuughhhh!!!!

[@davidarmstrong1666]

I don't reckon the drummer was alive when this tune was originally out.

[@JDC352]

...was he ever...

[@michaelohare3157]

XD Looks like he’s only just been allowed in his local boozer, orders 2 coors lights for the night an keeps a spare condom in his wallet just incase.. (ribbed for her pleasure 👍🏻)

[@laxeystu8096]

Great performance, and pretty similar to what people would remember

[@noopyorg]

Also, people called the guitar being out of key earlier but the drums are off too.

[@ghc5h01]

Drums are never off. They keep the beat

[@deadstar44]

@@ghc5h01 Actually, drum toms are tuned.

[@marcopervo]

Still bringing the sass.

[@jaybeeo1530]

Almost forgot how massive this song was

[@tainbey]

I like this different version, it's live and spontaneous, the bass is ballsy, the keyboard effects are cool, the guitarist is not out of tune he's just in the wrong key, and maybe that's the monitor's fault and he couldn't hear himself, the drummer is tight and saffron is rocking it big time, she seeps sexuality---I have been in the concert lighting industry for over 30 years and there are always problems that need to be tweaked and perfected during the performance, I dig the shit out of republica and I hope they keep gigging for a long time...

[@eryk7545]

Maybe without the sunglasses he could see better what he's playing on the guitar

[@benbmusic88]

The guitarist plays everything correctly except the main riff, he plays it a half step off, what's his deal? Even his sung harmonies are a half step off

[@davegrig8604]

Maby he was stoned.

[@standingfortruth4043]

3:04 that man made me gag

[@johnmaurovic1807]

Saffron is still as adorable as ever!

2:07 Ready to Bro!🤣

[@Tomthecat1982]

dude tune your guitar seriously or get in tune with Logic thats running in the background.

[@std882]

What the hell is wrong with the guitar????

[@mikewrightify]

This is what happens when the a players leave the band and you get the b players back ups suck ,can't even tune his guitar ridiculous

[@coolguy13333]

What in the actual hell-

[@mechahalcon]

"Baby, im crap, i really blow, on the rooftops, outta tune"

[@alftupper9359]

What the hell happened at 00:30 with the burst? He was out of tune from the kick off but he's gone somewhere weird there.

[@davegrig8604]

The guitar was out of tune. Played the riff in the wrong key.

[@wolfman0791]

Drummer looks like he's 15 years old

[@JohnyNJ]

+Wolfman07 no man, younger, like 13

[@BudhagRizzo]

That guitar, though...

Well, this is what aging does. So enjoy your youth boys and girls.

[@electronicwarriors]

2:56 Saffron's thinking wtaf is he doing? Original is a cracking tune.

[@dvstinjames]

The only positive thing about this performance is Saffron’s voice. Everyone else sounds terrible.

[@henshantam1797]

@00:30-00:35 what's happening with the gvitar sovnd?

[@revenueeeeeee]

uh...Karen O really let herself go....

[@chrisglendinning195]

Having said that we have all had bad gigs its easy to be an arm chair quarterback

[@chrisglendinning195]

Ok ... Lets break this down . The guitar player had his guitar drop his e string wildly out of tune , but also possibly had monitor problems and that can fuck you up .. should have easily been able to tune on the fly to correct that . The rest of the guitar sounded in tune other than the high e being flat . The guitar tech should be given shit or the hipster guitar player who thought it was cool to bring a peice of shit guitar into a professional big time live situation . Either way i havent cringed harder since i saw my granny in a bukakke film

[@MrJeezus]

Is that guitar player the dude from Steely Dan?

[@beldarremulac9811]

Saffron one good looking woman ..👍

[@ffhewohewi]

Jeez People! You are not ready to go! you are just mid 40's. You still got your kids to take care. Chill down, just tune your guitar. Things are gonna be ok! :P

[@mirzabihac]

I love this band but live playing is not good at all....their live gig sounded much better in the 90s ... don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan :)

[@smophie6260]

mirzabihac peoples voices change. But yes it’s a shame

[@pelgervampireduck]

the guy either doesn't know the song or the guitar is horribly out of tune!!

[@squatch545]

They need another sound check.

[@danybr1]

He forgot to get the drop D...

[@dodywahyudi2393]

😭not ready to go

[@Calimosh]

I'm sure there's a tune in there somewhere.
