I think it's so cute how they actually show they love what they do

[@flo15jo]

So in tune with the comments on this. I'm sure Jamie can play exquisite solos, but The Kills' music is all about excitement, immediacy and energy. It appeals to anyone who's ever turned their practice amp up to 11 and pretended they can play bottleneck guitar using an old biro.

[@DaniPhii]

This song... This performance... They simply give me the shivers. The Kills kill me with their guitar and voices... Short but coolest live ever! =)

[@flo15jo]

Drum machine, guitar and vocal. Rock and roll, people, rock and roll.

[@frederick5916]

thats what i wanna dooo ,0

[@Camden1313]

How underrated are the Kills seriously...they are awesome.

[@sorrywh0]

for me, their music is like a metaphor for the level of coolness i want to reach in life. for many years, i've been trying to reach that, always failed. now i think, i'll never be that person i imagined - but that's okay, cuz the coolness is in the way we're constantly trying to be better.

[@jimmeeq]

2020 and it bangs like hell

[@justinjames2771]

People comenting 9 years ago....damn this song is old affff but still a killer. Only the kills can make it seem like it just droped point seconds ago. The kills forever baby they know how to keep the fever!

[@avedic]

They sound SO much better in a small room like this. The videos of them in large concert halls just doesn't work imo. This performance let's the punch of their music hit hard. And it shows why having a drum machine works so so much better for this band than a live drummer. A live drummer would ruin it. The drum machine has punch and edge...allowing Jamie's guitar to hammer down razor sharp riffs over top. It's all so dark and bluesy....absolutely love it!

[@GraceLudmila]

I can't seem to get over how absolutely, utterly freakin' brilliant they are.

[@itsmejahoo]

One of my absolute fav songs by them! ❤

[@abramothebastard]

i love this sound!!!

[@PeachesB91]

OMFDG I never thought they´re so fucking amazing!! Thanks for uploading, so great

[@checkywho]

GOD! I love that opening guitar riff!

[@TheImperfectHarmony]

That riff is so dirty. Damn... too fuckin' good... *p*

[@snadifi]

Perfect band.

[@thokmasta]

They would be rad to see live

[@SquiggyWigginz]

I vaguely remembered how good this band was until just now hearing them again for awhile. Sweet. Hadn't heard this song in years. A+

[@albertt0te]

My Favorit

[@good4gaby]

[@MarkCox21125150]

[@theloosechains2879]

❤️❤️❤️

[@flo15jo]

Sorry, I have only just seen your comment. I finally DID manage to see them live, and they were great. It was the audience and the venue that were not - much as your Dorau quote says! Live long and prosper .....

[@misty666]

how brilliant are they?!

[@TfOpuC]

Yes...

[@gasolineguttt]

how cute is she when she gets scared

[@lynusbinkley90]

Fucking song NEVER gets old.

[@lcurvel0]

Oh shit... i'm in love with her.

[@flo15jo]

They look like they are having so much fun. Isn't it great? I must see them. I must see them. Before they get old, cynical and tired ... like me. Bring on the noise! Love that guitar. Love her vocals. What's not to like? l

[@whitemus]

If you can't find band members that feel your style.....just play without them. Great work!!

[@GraceLudmila]

WOW

[@IAMTHECAKEdotORG]

Alrighty thanks

[@TinytheWalrus]

the begininning is adorable

[@jimmyhwhiley10]

I know what you mean dude :D its the guitar playing and the confidence that, thankfully, doesn't seem to border on arrogance that does it for me.

[@Mrchuletaspuntocom]

Esta morra tiene un felling. Allison jamas te des un pason

[@jean_derfeuque]

Cute!

[@xtinguishme]

Alison at 0:11 hahahahaha

[@alexb.e7498]

and again @ 0:15...

[@wrkonthetruck]

Saweeeeet!!!!

[@Thevalleyoftar]

@JoshuaRFox Indeed. Indeed.

[@NaradaC]

The Kills kill me!

[@GeorgiaMariaMusic]

Alison, + no cigarette? A rare sighting!

[@dani26acyt]

This video is so fucking cool that hurts

[@NineMonthMedia]

@Thevalleyoftar this versions lower than the studio recording. I play this riff a lot, its a fun one to just mess around with. tuning to drop C works for me (tune all strings down a full step, then drop the low E down another step to C)

[@amoebacrownprincess]

alison's sooo adorable

[@mance02]

I love Jaime's deep, two octave down tone, really deep and thick, it kinda reminds like talkin with a full mouth! And I used to have a little crush in Alison, although it was like a couple of months ago!

[@brodyzakira3078]

Yeah!! That was fuckin cool! ^_^

[@flo15jo]

He is a cute little powerhouse, isn't he?!

[@lilKelso]

They are way too cute

[@ledzeppelin4485]

so much better live

[@carouselambra7]

fuck yeah

[@piadox]

I don't think this session was available to download. The last Kills sessions I have was an acoustic one. Thanks for uploading the video anyways

[@TinytheWalrus]

if you don't like it you should leave after one comment instead of commenting a buncha different times on how much you hate it....as much as you want to i guarantee you will not change the opinions of people who watch this because they like the band

[@vidiot9]

FUCK YES!!!

[@JosephODonnellMusic]

Vintage Hofner 176. If you're looking for a cheap modern alternative check out the Hofner Galaxie, it's basically the modern version.

[@thisismyhappening]

[@matthewwilson8897]

the dirtiest riff this s@%t is so damn good

[@miriamknolli]

[@marquisdesade5596]

[@Babyshaking]

@celinapaz1251 I read "WHY AM I NOT IN BOTH OF THEM?". Would also make sense.

[@Bafulo88]

Бляяя, они такие МИЛАХИ!

[@BBQPeanut]

@Bafulo88 WTF RUSSIAN CAPSLOCK?

[@abrilcortes9138]

[@Thevalleyoftar]

[@peeweesherman]

[@AndreiaLRX]

LOL Jamie takes a big sream at 0:16 XD

[@flo15jo]

@xxxyourxxxyouxxx Ah, thanks! Yes, parents are often less laid back than grandparents ..... as a parent of two on the border of producing the next generation, we're right in the middle of it, and it certainly can wear you out, and leave you with a short fuse. I look forward to some more mellow years!

[@rnwdgaf]

these guys are epic. If you like them check us out if you get the chance.

[@Emmaluvsmoose]

[@michyrock1]

Alison 0:11 XD

[@roberth3094]

I am 63 and liking this music . I just wish he would let the guitar out of its cage . He needs to let that guitar scream with some long solos .

[@Batubacaksizzz]

1:09 I've never wanted to be a microphone so much in my life

[@metalmaniacalles]
