Saw the Kills last night in Paris and they are ageless and magnificent. What a night.

[@LeenaStark]

Alison is one of the BADDEST BABES in the Music Industry hands down! 👊🙋

[@LeenaStark]

​@Scott Freeman *Art* ( _in all of its expressive forms: music, painting, writing etc_ ) is *Subjective* ; what one may consider to be _melodious_ another may find _cacophonous_ . I respect every individuals opinion/choice, and I hope they reciprocate that _respect_ . However ---- this is how I make my "choices" ( _which is very simple_ ) : I imagine a scenario where I am _stranded_ on a desert island, and I have two "choices" when it comes to taking just 1 CD with me, which I will have to listen to over & over until I am rescued. So, IF I had to make such a "choice" ---- then it wouldnt be such a difficult choice for me to make; i'd be taking *The Kills* w/ me on that desert island hands down. ✌ P.S: *Jinjer* are a good band, however --- they are in an entirely different music *genre* ( _Heavy Metal_ ) than *The Kills* who are an Indie-Rock band. Personally speaking --- Ive never been a _fan_ of Metal in any of its forms. The only Metal band I've ever liked are *AC/DC* who are my all time favorite band on earth - like EVER!!! & I worship *Angus Young* because he is GOD. But even AC/DC do not describe themselves as being a _Metal_ band, but a Rock+ Roll band instead. *KEEP ON ROCKIN!* ( _regardless of the style of music you prefer_ ) 🙋

[@paulmckinney2905]

If not the Baddest Babe... she's definitely on a whole other level !!!

[@shadowman1403]

A few years ago my gf and I moved to our new place in the Hollywood Hills, I was driving my gf to her job and we were leaving out of our street. There was this black Dodge Challenger way down like a few blocks on Hollywood blvd, the street I was turning on, so I turn right since I had time to get in. The NEXT thing I know looking into my review mirror, the asshole in the Challenger guns it and speeds up right behind me and I notice it's a woman screaming with her hands up in the air yelling at appears to be me! I look at my gf like what the hell is this person's problem? I no way cut them off, they were like way down two blocks before I turned? And she gunned it and sped up behind me like an asshole! So now I get over a lane to turn left, and she is on the right next to us.. and we are dead crawling in traffic. She is not looking at us, and my gf and I just looking at her and I notice, HOLY SHIT! It's Alison from Dead Weather, The Kills.. my gf's window is down and I just yell in a nice way. "Hey are you ok?? I am sorry you are having a bad day! I love your music and you're fucking awesome!" Alison is not even looking at us, and you can tell now she is embarrassed and has her hand covering her side of her face. The whole rest of the ride to my gf's job, we just laughed and said well that's a start of a weird day huh???

[@MarkCox21125150]

Yes! She is like the definition of badass!! Well said ;)

[@j_freed]

Though she's sexy, her rockness transcends gender much like she's a female early Mick Jagger.

[@danthunderbolton4350]

Epic session. One of the best of the band on the entire Internet.

[@anzolaloops]

The fish eye shots, the camera in the crowd! Sweaty, hazy, intimate, and powerful Buzzing guitars with Sub Phatty Basslines. Best house show I've ever been to.

[@ItsWhatever24]

M. Anzola yeah that must have been amazing. next level ish. how did you get in/hear about it?

[@jorgeduran69]

M. Anzola Omg you were there?! Sooooooo jelly. Ive seen them many times but never in such a personal setting, to be honest id be shy to be up close to such great artists.

[@miguelmagalhaes4795]

lucky bastard...lol

[@opppopp2322]

they open for jack white in a week for me they that good?

[@Dima-jc7fx]

"Ash & Ice" is the album of the year

[@stevemcqueenii1547]

no fuckin way

[@teslaedison6714]

yea way!

[@MarkCox21125150]

yea way!

[@travisstoll1187]

No........... Yea fucking way!

[@dyangordon6151]

This and the 2nd last shadow puppets record where 16s best records.

[@alanblight9233]

Wow. Nobody tells me anything. First time I heard the kills, love them, what a great sound.

[@sukygill9998]

I've lost count how many I've seen this performance, just a shout out to those that captured this from all the angles.. making many feel their there! 💜

[@georgelaird8703]

Yep I've been banging this for years aswell,brought up with Metallica, AC/DC Sabbath ,priest Maiden absolutely love my music 🤘🕺🤘🕺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🕺🕺🕺🕺🤕🤕🤕🤕😷😷😷🖐️🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸

[@spookyspiice]

Alison and Jamie are otherworldly.

[@crunchb3rry]

Especially when you're a guitar player watching Jamie play the old songs the same way, even with that dead middle finger. Major props to the dude.

[@MarkCox21125150]

exactly

[@thebrysmith3]

Django Rienhardt was missing two fingers, Jerry Garcia one. If you're a serious guitar player, you learn to adapt and make do. Jamie does more then quite well here.

[@pete_kane]

I'm still watching this to this day. Absolutely brilliant.

[@MarkCox21125150]

Simply THE best band to emerge in the last 10 years - just on another level altogether.

[@paulwilson4189]

Not on my level, maybe 30 odd years ago in a pub

[@ariescustom]

@@paulwilson4189 EDGY

[@hjd1539]

This is the second best house of strombo show I've ever seen, 2nd to the one and only Melvins of course. God I live for this energy.

[@gjamtimmermans]

dat is/was een prachtig stukje muziek !! gerard timmermans. that is/was a very splendid piece of music !! gerald carpenter.

[@dirkana]

love this so much😍

[@taniaopiopchenko]

she looks fantastic ^_^

[@Dahljona]

Doesn't she always? :)

[@Amhlair]

But she's kinda fat now. Heard she stopped chain smoking and look what happened.

[@Dahljona]

+Amhlair No.

[@darkmatter1040]

+Amhlair She looks fat for you? WTF? Are you an idiot? How great do you look? Have you got any talent?

[@EyeCandyAthlete]

I'm athletical eye candy.

[@jmason61]

An awesome thing about this band is how they bridge kinda art/noise/freak rock with trad STAGE PRESENCE like you can't look away

[@StonedPilgrim]

Saw these guys open up for Qotsa and they blew me away.

[@here_below]

Why didn't I know this band before? Lost years... I will now be listening to The Kills for the next weeks (who am I lying to? months...).

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

THIS BAND BLOWS MY MIND... IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE....

[@muchowna]

Who is watching in 2021, missing concerts horribly? Just imagine to be there...

[@estuardo1963]

I kinda have to listen to this everyday since I first saw it.

[@MarkCox21125150]

YA! Me too, addictive.

[@1ManNamedDan]

My new fave band. A friend who also shares my deep dig for Queens Of The Stone Age turned me on to them and I haven't been able to stop listening for over a month. This was an awesome set, It so good to know even live they make The Kills.

[@1ManNamedDan]

awsessome! Next time they get even a couple hundred miles close to Sacramento I'm there! I want to meet a girl that's into The Kills

[@zacharykilburn7288]

if you love the kills and qots you are in for a wet dream with dead weather which has Allison of this band and dean from qots....

[@RickSmith46032]

You're right dead weather is truly a thing of beauty!

[@jorgeduran69]

You know what's insane? Queens of the Stone Age and The Kills are my two favorite bands. In 2014 they played in Inglewood, The Forum. The Kills opened for Queens of the Stone Age, i was ecstatic. It was a great Halloween event and it was QoTSA's closing show. It was a fantastic event with a Halloween Costume Contest and all, on the 31st. It got me into Bob's Burgers 🙊 Those stoners voted them the winners of the contest, but The Kills stole the show, without a doubt. Which was sad for me cus i love Qotsa and have met Joshua Homme twice. 😔

[@byerenny]

Mephobia Tell another friend

[@koukoukou8]

I adore the kills with all my heart

[@XChristianNoirX]

This is my favorite Strombo performance.

[@georgelaird8703]

I've been watching/listening for years and it never gets old man, great performance's from the whole band 🤘👍

[@diosgengar]

How smooth and groovy. Unreal stuff

[@ninasmolcic5820]

I'm completely in love with these guys

[@foresakentonone4148]

[@johnphillips8851]

[@yasamanshakiba6218]

HOLY SHIT! Everything about this is amazing !

[@yasamanshakiba6218]

Referring to the track at 4mins. Haven’t gotten through it all yet and I am excited !

[@manuelmenacho5161]

This amazing gig deserves a way better audience !!!

[@koukoukou8]

exactly my thoughts

[@Quagmire1771]

They should never show the audience faces except a from behind the crowd to the stage.

[@aerialcombat]

🔥🔥🔥

[@robgrossi2368]

Wow, they're killer! Awesome, awesome, driving sound and stage presence from a band I never heard before... that bottom end, gees!!!

[@Pleyaddes]

''Black Balloon'' is amazing.

[@VangeliRock]

Love it.

[@Epitaphforyesterday]

i liked it. i was really hoping it was them covering the monster magnet song. it would work.

[@paulmckinney2905]

Epic jam for sure !!!

[@rogeriusrex1]

Holy crap. I guess I've been living under a rock. I've never heard of these guys! Thanks, Strombo! I guess my wallet will be emptied now...

[@Claude1Rochon]

The first time i saw this vid i stayed stuned and dumbstruck for ' how many minutes is it ? ' ....but now that i'm back for the nth time...i cry and i come and i cry somemore and come backhard....i come and i cry....i cry and i come...doubt not, =yOu.....mAgic was there in the air that day and le*Strombo had lightning.bolts to do about that.....*.....i can back that comment...babe ....MaGiC...the Kills make me wannnna come ....back....to music and dust my guitars.... merci George merci.

[@yana_v_simonova]

[@tavocor66]

Got a new fan from Costa Rica, The Kills and Strombo Sessions: I love them!!!!! Thank you for this music and your dedication!!!!!

[@janinemeier7201]

Discovering them here with this epic recording. KZbin suggested it alongside my new favorite Russian Band Shortparis, which just may be the best gift KZbin has ever given me. I love her voice and natural wild beauty. Thank you for posting.

[@ernestosoltero]

Jamie "Hotel" Hince is an underrated guitarrist...

[@jackalope2302]

When asked about my fave guitarists, Hince is always in the top 5. He's possibly the most unique sounding rocker active.

[@aisle_of_view]

He's so unique, just amazing.

[@anastasiaglushkova3718]

Cool,amazing perfomence! The Kills the best band in current time,sound brightest! Bravo!!!

[@diegobellunghi8727]

Perfection is not enough to describe them

[@kevindyck9103]

Cette vidéo White and black dévoile l'énergie expressive de la chanteuse accompagnée de son music band tous aussi talentueux dans une ambiance esthétique et intimiste......

[@bahggrabklan9442]

I LOVE THE KILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HorrorFan76]

It’s amazing how Jamie has adapted his guitar playing without the use of his middle finger👍

[@radzo1675]

Lat e to the party with the Kills. They are fucking great.

[@radzo1675]

They have a Rig Rundown video. Probably the best one I've seen.

[@domesticengineerlifecoach6938]

I keep coming back to this. It's a killer session BUT FUCK THAT CROWD SUCKS!!!

[@naps3386]

Can anyone ask any more from a band, especially the "frontman"? Alison is a natural.

[@plainform]

I've seen them 3 times. Never this intimate; they were able to vibe off the crowd a bit more. Great set.

[@loridriskell8121]

Rock Goddess!🤟💯😎

[@OmarFalero]

Brilliant! The whole thing!

[@armandocastiblanco1194]

I want a show like that in my house. Beauty, shiny and Wild.
