I love how individually not one member looks like some "rockstar," they all just look like cool fucking people who got together to jam one night after work and never stopped... Fantastic performance. Great band!

[@frankgonzalez966]

Like nirvana

[@lanesteele240]

P Hetz as a drummer, the drummer is always over looked

[@KJ-je9pm]

true

[@williamminyard5517]

My favorite song right now.

[@lupasouza671]

It's is the best definition ever

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Whoever is mixing the sound on these Guitar Center Sessions deserves some serious credit. They always sound absolutely fantastic.

[@AudioTones67]

Except the lead vocals are indecipherable for most of the song. Check out Triple J Like A Version videos for really well mixed live sessions.

[@nickjones9867]

@@AudioTones67 Honestly I think its entierly down to taking the room into the mix. You can tell that this has the reverb of the room in the vocal and drums which makes it sound much more live and real. The Triple J Like A Version is much more of a studio sound. All the reverb is artificial added in post/as a wet mix. Also the vocal has much more compression on it which is why it sits ontop more. You wouldn't be able to do that in the same way to this vocal as it would bring up all the room noise on the vocal. Not saying its bad, just its a diferent thing.

[@disturbedcarrot]

100% agreed

[@marcusmeadow2729]

Agreed!

[@cormacthem8406]

Very true it always sounds fantastic. Their videos are my go to for an example of a great live song

[@elioscarcito]

*When the IT Department guys get together to jam... Fantastic!*

[@tushfinger]

hahahaha

[@KaplanRobert]

Severely underrated comment!

[@GunnerMcStabby]

Laughs in tech supp!

[@dewayne3615]

🔥🤣🔥😂🔥🤣🔥

[@NattyNarwhaal]

Most wholesome rock band in the business

[@ericpowers4294]

This band is so underrated. SO MANY GOOD SONGS!!

[@WillyD1]

Big time

[@vonrictor12]

The guitar player is just fucking jamming and riffing it’s awesome

[@drumtracksdirect]

Brian's guitar parts are very well orchestrated on this song, it's always the right lick at the right time.

[@staylucky4727]

My high school physics teacher would play this after exams sometimes. He would also play under pressure by queen as the exam started. Still don't know shit about physics, but 10 years after high school, I do remember that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shanefraser7764]

He sounds like a sweet dude 🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘a warm hello from new Zealand 🌿

[@KD-vg2yn]

goose bumps, i love this song. Didn’t know the singer was male, that’s wild!

[@apexkilla]

SAME!

[@just_tino]

Man, how time flies. I got married in the summer of 07 and this song was our summer jam and our go to jam for 10 yrs. Unfortunately life happens and things didn't work out. But this song will always bring back the happy times we had. Thanks for the jam!

[@adverteasing]

"with... SUCH SHINEEEE!!!!"

[@nderohan]

Sunshine!

[@joshonhisbullshit]

Up until today i 100% thought the singer was a female. That’s incredibly cool. What a unique voice.

[@tushfinger]

smokey

[@JayZoop]

I thought they were the Smashing Pumpkins at first, so I thought it was Billy Corgan.

[@Noise_floorxx]

Funny I never thought that but I was very interested in what he looked like so I had to come here.

[@TheQuietTimes]

Really? Even during the screaming moments?

[@charlottestreet3301]

​@@TheQuietTimes i think he means when the singer singer at the beginning of the song. To be honest whenever you hear sleeping with serains the singer is high phich

[@steveculbert4039]

I've heard this a hundred times, and the bass holds it down so it doesn't drift away. So cool. Cool as hell.

[@nilorodriguez7132]

Damn what a performance

[@Juniorbean720]

Nikki is amazing! She has such talent and class! The whole band blends well.

[@Olevia21]

love how he's always rockin an epiphone guitar. Like you don't have to take out a loan to rock out.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

Just read a minute ago where he said in an interview that the Sheraton is the guitar that he can't break away from because it feels right. I currently have a custom shop p93 riviera and I have to agree with the man. Just something about those Epi hollow bodies. Great guitars.

[@TehGrahmmerNahzi]

No but you do need pedals :)

[@kendohan]

...another cool thing i just learned is that it was actually Christopher's! (The drummer!)

[@imnothonestbutyoureinteresting]

I have ‘97 Korean made Sheraton and I can attest to their quality and versatility .

[@drewscott9763]

It’s a 93 Epiphone Sheraton. Way better quality than what is produced today and now they are pretty pricy.

[@badger3743]

The build up and breakdown at 3:10 and at 4:56 is f>cking amazing. And the way the lead singer plays lead and rhythm on guitar. Wow.God bless Brian and his lazy eye.

[@josephstock9128]

OMG goshawk I am not dreaming about it it’s real!!!

[@tushfinger]

​@@josephstock9128 yeah, I freaked when I realized

[@dewayne3615]

😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dirkprobert]

Listening to this song never gets old.

[@tannermckay9830]

The best song Billy Corgan didn't write.

[@marcelopepinho]

Hahahahah positive

[@luismedinarios9658]

Nah, not even a huge SP fan (only having heard some of siamese dreams and butterfly bullet wings) but I could easily tell the SP influences on silversun pups (damn even same initials), plus a little bit of "loveless" sprinkled in there with that outro fuzz guitar jam

[@Cory989]

the riffs and solos are not as good as Corgans.

[@Em4gdn1m]

Vocals are way less nasally than Corgan. I actually like Aubert's voice quite a bit. I can't stand listening to Corgan sing.

[@Cory989]

Michael who cares

[@BrandoCamaro]

I've always liked them but after seeing them preform live in a few videos I've gained a new found respect for the silversun pickups. you can really tell they're talented. great song, great band!

[@badger3743]

Best version ever.

[@ShootYourRadio]

The sound engineering team for GS needs to get an award. They always dial it in.

[@johnkim7299]

This is one of the best recordings of this song performed live in terms of quality

[@ivanoinserra104]

This is probably the best live version

[@GlennJimenez]

They really knocked it out of the park for this performance. I don’t think I’ve heard this song played better than it was here.

[@PartTimeJedi]

I had given up on "alt" music in the early 2000s and these guys/gal made me feel that excitement again.. Love the sound of his voice and arrangements.. reminds me of the early 90s explosion.

[@chrisjimenez1129]

I saw Silversun in LA with Snow Patrol and OK-GO! Great show!

[@nothingspermanent598]

such a unique voice

[@ryanfrazier2987]

The true measurement of how good a band is, is how good do they sound live. This band is fantastic. Truly the most under rated band of the 21st century.

[@spoopryme]

Rough days always made better by listening to this magic.

[@keithprice8989]

Best version I have heard of this song! AMAZING

[@milesoneal3939]

Definitely my favorite at this point.

[@fidelrivera2887]

My favorite song on Rock Band... all the parts were fun to play. R I P Rock Band.

[@WanderingMiqo]

I will always mourn the death of rhythm games like Rockband. I played it sooo much as a kid. It planted a seed in me of loving music, and as an adult it inspired me to actually learn guitar a few years ago. It's awesome.

[@Xim9600]

still love that song!

[@ResidualIma9e]

I've been waiting for this moment...

[@marklentz1095]

This version closet approximation of when I first saw them live in Mpls. Brian broke the strings on his guitar during Last Eye. Just epic.

[@ChrisKotra]

Damn that’s a good live version. Big fan of the band and only just saw this one.

[@jonnysteiner821]

They sound like if Billy Corgan wrote Sonic Youth songs.

[@KTK44]

Not the worst peeps to draw inspiration from.

[@paulhill5491]

only better

[@Acrata42]

This song doesn't sound like Sonic Youth in a billions years, try to listen more music mate.

[@DanielMartinez-dq4fu]

love when nikki is dancing

[@CabingirlWI]

She is awesome.....love female bass players!

[@weargasm3]

McCoy Elizabeth Flo from progressive? 😂😂lmao

[@davidsimmons7855]

McCoy Elizabeth this is the first time iv commented on KZbin but that is the funniest comment iv ever read and can’t help myself! So true

[@GreyfoxAFCA]

She’s standing still and nodding her head a little bit, not really dancing 😅

[@lukemc2597]

Sexy as!! ❤️🤘🏻

[@codyc.8939]

I hear a strong Smashing Pumpkins influence but I love it.

[@cybersamurai5]

Oh, you're such a new, mate.

[@marcelopepinho]

Very Much

[@jdsman2008]

Cody C. No. Not smashing pumpkins.

[@codyc.8939]

Jon Scott my buddy and I hear a smashing pumpkins influence

[@Alleggsander]

The lead singer definitely has a Billy Corgan vibe and this song has a similar rhythm to 1979

[@yankodejanovich5496]

Love this.. I wanted to play in a band like this my whole life ! no joke.

[@OverdriveMusic]

I remember hearing this for the first time in a record shop. Bought two of their albums there and then!

[@thetextpistols7354]

It will always be a masterpiece. God bless Joy Division!!!

[@davemartin1932]

Cooo lll

[@travisd7888]

this song travels time; reminds me of my dark times and getting so angry with life and now..DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO BECOME HAPPY. despite the pain.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

Always good to see that Brian still cracks out the ole Epiphone. Can't help but respect a man that stays true to his roots.

[@papachino5137]

I've loved this song since the Rock Band game came out.

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

Damn good. (And a bass playing jumping in heels - awesome!)

[@skinny0ne]

This song and album sounds like everything good about the pumpkins. I so loved this album.

[@IndridCool54]

I recall seeing this when I had directTv, I knew they were good. I just didn't recall they were this fucking good!

[@revolutionday1]

F-ing masterpiece!!! With The Offspring clips too, Guitar Center is really bringin' tha' heat!!

[@koolklif]

Terry Hesticles I love guitar center sessions..always sounds damn good..but not perfect some mistakes still there to let you know its not a lip synch gig...can't beat the sound of a raw snare

[@anthonydangelo9567]

Dudes got a great scream voice

[@GR018]

This band is really good live. I've seen them multiple times. It's just a chorus of good energy.

[@engineermechanic7394]

Best version I've ever heard!!

[@jfukura]

I come back here monthly. Still great.

[@jfukura]

I’m back. Hot damn…

[@jfukura]

Back in less than a month. It’s been tough.

[@themythhunter9764]

One of my favorites, gives me chills every time i hear it!!! Love his voice and the distortion, Damn good song!!!

[@Jacksmusicshack]

I love all their albums.

[@MK-oy7bx]

Its the moon, the sun and the sky💗

[@yomodojo]

I didn't know that this song could get better, but boy was I wrong! DAMMMMN!

[@douglasmcconnell8116]

Can't get enough of this song , so addictive ..

[@situated4]

I love great alt rock songs that build to that angry crescendo! So tight.

[@benslooking4coolstuff]

always thought the "moon sun and the sky" verse was a quick recovory but brilliant, this song is brilliant

[@KadeBronson]

So much raw energy.

[@natashaeldridge6276]

This song will always be awesome

[@aerialgrey2566]

What a song. Still listening in 2023.

[@trevorjamesbradley3010]

[@rikpaterson5680]

Lead guitarist is so talented, and also a great singer

[@itimmy101]

[@itimmy101]

[@angelmurillo3476]

Thank you silversun pickups! My memories play your songs in the background!

[@gmr7494]

A fine fine performance

[@wave0162]

Finally saw this live. I can sleep peacefully now 🤣

[@deltascout22]

I love the bands guitar center has been showcasing... Always amazing live.

[@corridorninelegend1754]

[@JayZoop]

That jamming at the high parts was awesome! Great performance all around.

Goose bumps and hair standing on end right now! I wish Silversun Pickups would tour Australia!

[@orladaniel16]

No body told me steve aoki is the drummer of this band

[@keaganweaver8723]

orladaniel16 just laughed my head off, i thought the same thing!

[@bethanooger1877]

i can't breath

[@Chekers400]

lol

[@asusmctablet9180]

Silly, that's Yasunori Takada from Mono who's playing drums.

[@AdrenochromeDome]

Aoki you old dog

[@sfmorris4897]

I absolutely love this guys voice. so unique

[@malcolmh5736]

Love these guys! Just saw ‘em in Boston at House of Blues, safely pre-Covid 19.. sounded soooo good!! ❤️

[@tonijackson3675]

I'm so jealous 😂

[@Mizakit_Gaming]

holy shit i cant believe how amazing this sounds live.

[@christopherpumphrey7023]

This sound guy absolutely rocks! Levels are perfect

[@Soulfrax88]

Awesome performance

[@tomigunn777]

This mix is GREAT!! I LOVE when a band sounds like the record also!

[@husker22chad63]

Love the distortion in the beginning, followed by the crystal clear thumps of the bass and drums.

[@jennifermaynickel621]

This might be my favorite version of the song

[@slobert1970]

one of my all time favorite songs. I got to see Brian and Nikki perform at Easy Street Records in Seattle and they are just great people with amazing talent. I love that every live version of this song is different. keep it up!

[@bartjanssen690]

Man one of the best music performances of all time :)

[@tanyalebron2305]

Awesome sounding live performance!

[@TheMacClayne]

I've discovered Silversun Pickups with this song in Guitar Hero World tour, Then I dive into the album caming from, I have loved and been amazed every single second from this record. Then I bought all their discographia and keep going on every time a new album is made. I love you so much, you are one of my fav band ever, the few ones that I can listent to any song, whatever the order without loving eatch track. Big up and Love for you SP, thank you for everything

[@kelboynavarro7552]

One of my Favorite songs! Listening to this song makes me grab my guitar and sing this song! thank you SSP

[@SweetBuLivingLife]

Great energy and very cool performance. I really enjoyed it :-)

[@guille1166]

realy, realy........LOVE THIS SONG

[@Joe_Laughs]

To be able to play guitar like that & dance @ the same time. I could definitely hear some influence on some portions of the lead guitar, but that great player did not dance in time to it the way Brian does. Wow! Every song this band puts out is beautiful.

[@colingomez5934]

He has a very nice unique voice, great performance! 😀👍

[@husker22chad63]

Favorite version of Lazy Eye. Total control and pulled back in all the perfect places. And Nikki looks as laid back and comfortable that I have seen.

[@johnwatson892]

song will never get old

[@t-ray1890]

2021 and I’m still jamming this amazing video, he friggin shreds it.

[@jamess5415]

Love this version

[@Dave-bo8ry]

I've been waiting/I've been waiting for this moment/All my life/But it's not quite right What a brilliant opening line.

[@jeffreyw9822]

Well, that escalated quickly! Great song.

[@user-rc9vk9ix6t]

It's one of those songs that have some magic!

[@vinniemoreno704]

That was awesome.

[@Redhotchilipprs]

Fricken fantastic!!!!
