Royal Blood - 'Better Strangers' (live for Like A Version)

[@ripley4726]

I hope one day.. MTV unplugged would let them play the whole album acoustically

[@THEkakashiw]

god plleeeaaassee

[@ripley4726]

was that a yes or no please

[@THEkakashiw]

+Aei Ou it was a fucking yesssssss plzz as soonest possible

[@ripley4726]

Oh One of those :)

[@trogwhisperer]

Ripley it’s just too bad that this is Triple J, not MTV, this Australian owned, Southwest.

[@ericthorpe5670]

This song (in particular this version) means so much to me. I showed this to my good friend Luke who had a deep appreciation for music, like myself. He fell in love with Royal Blood, and we would blast them while working on people's roofs. Luke was a great person, and every single day I miss him.

[@Sam_T1021]

Wonder how this would have turned out if Ben wasn't emailing the lyrics to Mike

[@AqilKamaludin]

okay I'll be honest ... this is my first time seeing Mike with a guitar with 6 strings ahahaha.

[@ML-nj4qi]

Hes a guitar player who plays the bass...why not just play the guitar?

[@ML-nj4qi]

@Eric Viethzer Alvez Jack White plays the guitar like a guitarist...Kerr intentionally makes his bass emulate a guitar sound, that's the difference.

[@laurarodriguez5743]

@@ML-nj4qi jack makes his guitar sound like a bass he still playing the guitar like a guitarist, in the same way does mike kerr

[@ML-nj4qi]

@@laurarodriguez5743 obliviously you and Eric aren't musicians and can't relate to what I am saying so no point in debating.

[@SSSweeper]

From the start I was wondering how it would be if they played an acoustic set. A very good example, that their songs can be played like that and sounding great :) \m/

[@bomma6753]

Would have to tune his guitar oddly to match his modded electric one.

[@troyoobrien]

Tom Mitchell This song is in C Standard. Don't see what's so odd about that?

[@TheTeaTVI]

@@troyoobrien would need thick strings though

[@troyoobrien]

@@TheTeaTVI He's playing in C standard in this video

[@TheTeaTVI]

@@troyoobrien same response, would need heavy as fuck strings to get a good sound

[@alexandersmets5045]

Absolutely baffling how true the vocals on the album are to real life

[@dunxalot]

That guitar sounds amazing!

[@elementbender1]

This is so good; even live, his voice sounds just as powerful

[@dodgeraid72]

Cole MacGrath, yeah it’s incredible

[@calumyoung97]

Aw man, I would love to hear their entire first album released acoustically. With Ben on drums of course

[@EduardoAbantoB]

How such a simple riff can make so much!

[@cuttingcorners4642]

Mike Kerr : Rythmic guitar, Lead voice, harmonies, backing vocals plus does some percussion w/ an acoustic guitar Ben Thatcher : hold a coffee

[@andregordon2599]

......and sunglasses! Don't forget those!

[@friendlyhippopotamus5227]

Absolutely fucking great. I actually prefer this quite a bit to the album version.

[@georgerendell1485]

Josh Clegg Almost, yeah :P

[@trogwhisperer]

Martin Leitch damn, I guess that’s a rip for Ben (someone like you might not know their names)

[@offthepathworks9171]

If only BRMC would cover this.

[@melvinslabbinck6490]

I dont think there is anyone better at bringing a song so powerfull with one voice and one guitar

Lyrics: [Verse 1] There's nothing left inside, I found a whole new low My heart is open wide, with no love to show I know I got high but you didn't have to leave me so [Verse 2] Brother had beat me blue, sister bled me dry It's why I count on you, but you don't treat me right I know I held tight but you didn't have to leave me so [Chorus] Hollow, hollow I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow I know you wanna be mine so don't follow, follow [Verse 3] Cross my heavy heart, you won't be replaced I can't fill the void, walk the empty space So remember my face every time you're left feeling so [Chorus] Hollow, hollow I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow I know you wanna be mine so don't follow, follow [Verse 4] There's nothing left inside, I found a whole new low My heart is open wide with no love to show 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you [Chorus] I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow I know you wanna be mine so don't follow, follow [Outro] Hollow, hollow Hollow, hollow Hollow, hollow Hollow Hollow, hollow Hollow, hollow Hollow, hollow 'Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you

[@IanOPadrick]

If this was a Raconteurs song, it would start with Brennan, the drums, and an acoustic. Then, an organ would come in with the bass-range during the second chorus, and at 3:05 Jack would start singing through to the chorus, full band at the chorus through to the end. I dunno why I thought this but I did.

[@slowfool]

Probably some epic solo too

[@carlosespinozaespinoza5348]

Esto es Royal Blood vieja, no mamacounters. Dah

just watch his hands. its in C standard tuning

[@ceej8601]

+Josh Yates Or a capo on the 8th fret in standard tuning :)

[@normangutierrez5191]

C Standard means all standard and 6th on C?

[@georgekostopoulos2880]

Norman Gutierrez no thats Drop C, C standard means every string is adjusted proportionately to C. Not just the last string

[@normangutierrez5191]

George Kostopoulos got it, thx!

[@varun6120]

how is that acoustic guitar giving out that tone?

[@rhysjones7650]

It's an electric acoustic, he's usually pretty secretive about effects and shit but it's pretty clear to see he just amped up the treble.

[@b2thec]

He usually has an octave pedal and running his guitar through both a bass amp and guitar amp on separate channels to get that signature sound. Of course without his fuzz and distortion pedals for this.

[@rocksully]

Id love to see Jack White cover this song.

[@JzanderN]

Huh. It appears that I have yet to give this video a like. Allow me to remedy that.

[@badumtss3067]

I'm wondering, why do they constantly wear glasses in the indoors? Then I'm thinking. I'm pretty sure they're high

[@gau7t]

Jace Feliciano Nah not always they're just funny as fuck hahah. Legends

[@THEkakashiw]

Jace Feliciano the hangover use of drugs and alchol can be confirme by looking in the eyes. so a lot of artists use this glasses even in the day.

[@ultravioletcats6691]

Jace Feliciano imo they do all live shows high lol

[@victormorley8341]

They said in an interview that they only had a vague memory of the recording of the first album because they where constantly drunk during this period of time...

[@Grimnirs_Oath]

Maybe they’re the modern day blues brothers

[@kylerobatto5862]

WOW

[@matheuusss1]

Does anyone has the chords for this version?

[@cheryltan9368]

[@xPULPxVELVETx]

[@legalprincessfr]

Amazing ! :-)))

[@negomusicofficial89]

Plz Is It standard tuning or something else ?

[@David-tz8qb]

I know that their style and sound is based on the way they make the bass guitar sound but they could really do acoustic stuff really well if they wanted to

[@dalestanton8275]

Fucking badass

[@Grimscz]

Does anybody know what tuning is he using in this acoustic version? All what I can say that It´s not drop-C.. Thanks.

[@MetallicaSam97]

Sounds like standard C to me

[@jimmyg5608]

Just find the tuning for the original, I believe it's c# standard if memory serves me correctly

[@Aes0n]

its just down 1 full step from standard tuning

[@alexisverdugo1608]

minor E in a C tuned guitar... or minor C in a standard tuned guitar ;), but like the one in the video is in a C tuned guitar but you'll never feel it if you don't switch an amp to treble

[@ripley4726]

sam miller It's C standard...

[@huevohistoria1924]

Wait why that bass have 2 extra strings?

[@eddyflores6527]

Without distorsion and with a guitar it sounds like a country song

[@troyoobrien]

Holy shit

[@yairherrera7084]

Does anyone know the tunning?

[@darkoutyt2447]

The tubing is C standard, chords are C, A, E and the end bit is C.D,A. The intro section is the same as the regular song but three frets higher and with the E chord instead of just open E

[@psychopomp7224]

Is weird see mike playing a guitar

[@MEGAHIMFAN]

can someone please give the chords?

[@NoNegotiation]

Wait.... Ben actually can talk!!!
