Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief (Acoustic) Live

[@mussman717word]

They remind me of me and my friends when we'd just sit on the kitchen floor, drinking 40s, and jammin' all night long. That's what I love about this bands, it's just good old music. Some people complain that "it's too much like classic rock," but how the fuck is that a bad thing? If it ain't broke, why fix it? Besides, give me ten bands formed since 1985 that are as good as, say, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, The Doors, and Blue Cheer! Nirvana, RATM, and that's about it, right?

[@vinsanity0150]

the chorus is beautiful with the backing vocals. gives me chills

[@vergilninja]

First time i listen to it, it's amazing!

[@dracidus10]

I am slightly very pleased to see a lot of classic rock and classic hard rock listeners praising a band that is from 2004-2006. This means that rock may get back to what it's supposed to be. Slowly, but steadily. Which is really good!

[@kuva99]

It's the imperfections that make it. I love the quirky originality that they give to things when they're doing live acoustic. It's not really a band I'd follow but I spotted them doing a Kate Bush "Wuthering Heights" cover this way and really enjoyed it because they definitely give it their own style.

[@javiersc12]

[@davishoonify]

I said the joker is a wanted man, He makes his way all across the land, See him sifting through the sand, So I'll tell you all the story, About the joker and the thief of the night, Always laughing in the midst of power, Always living in the final hour, There is always sweet in the sour, We are not goin' home, Can you see the joker flying over, As she's standing in the field of clover, Watching out everyday, I wonder what would happen is he took her away, What you see well you might not know, You get the feelin' comin' after the glow, The vagabond is moving slow, So I'll tell you all the story, 'bout the joker and the thief of the night, All the people that he see in the night, Hold their dreams up to the light, The wild beast is searching for sight, We are not goin' home, Can you see the joker flying over, As she's standing in the field of clover, Watching out everyday, I wonder what would happen is he took her away, Tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, I said, I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, I said, I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief, Of the night

[@ajapapa]

classic

[@iLoveEmilysArmy]

omg my fave song acoustic = fuckin awesome! ♥

[@uyou2tube]

good acoustic versions=talent

[@MrWeezler]

@saemikneu nope. those are just the two guitarists andrew and aidan plus keyboarder/bassist ian.

[@mussman717word]

I approve.

[@guitio2002]

@mussman717word well radiohead, arcade fire, massive attack and just so many others;) love wolfmother though!

[@mussman717word]

@superlou1s The lyrics are an obvious tribute to Dylan.

[@acdcgnr100]

@steeleternal ultimate guitar. Its a VERY simple song

[@randyrandy6137]

Carrot Top with his darn props!

[@kattastrofe]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses I wouldn't say they're original. I mean, they're highly influenced by oldschool rock'n'roll bands, but that's exactly why they rock. If they have to copy someone, they copy the right bands.

[@tegistderbeste]

@anqusyounq plus: after Andrew cut his hair he has the best hair of the world x'D

[@grouchomarx2903]

I'm assuming you meant that Michael Angelo Batio CAN'T play the notes and rhythms in a Gilmour guitar part, right?

[@acdcgnr100]

@ThePretender1206 its true, Stockdale isnt the best soloer, but he kicks ass anyway

[@birdman970]

i still dont see how theyre even trying, can u give an instance?

[@mylittlepierrot]

The amount of hair, it's over 9000!!!!

[@halogenke680]

stockdale is keeping his voice soooooo behind its actual possibilities...

[@saemikneu]

is this the drummer playing guitar?

[@Johnnyz543]

@TheRandomSack i understand what you mean but cosmic egg has so much more talent in it. That can probably be attributed to the massive amount of shows they play

[@TheMullerFan]

This is fuckin hilarious

[@jeffreynero]

the guitarist in the middle seems Sayd of Lost

[@mussman717word]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses I couldn't have said it better myself, mate.

[@iamspikeyoko]

i really wanna hear ian peres singing by himself now :/ XP

[@EatFresh23]

AHAHAHAHA I swear I have the EXACT same guitar as the guy on the far left! YASSS

[@Koolgit]

Oh my...BIG HAIR!

[@InDecember]

please comment to our joker and the thief cover

[@kkkkkkkkkkk321]

Glimour was.

[@birdman970]

andrew looks like neil young in this

[@martyrmessiah3903]

That'sthe guy from Law & Order!

[@TheMullerFan]

@ThePretender1206 The original wolfmother were not terribly proficient. neither is this incarnation.

[@leesmartin]

Just listen to the fucking song and watch the clip would ya?

[@jprenderg]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses Creativity and originality yes, but better than any other band?? Are you fucking kidding me??

[@TheZombieJC]

Gilmour can't play the notes and rhythms in a Michael Angelo Batio guitar part. Michael Angelo Batio can play the notes and rhythms in a Gilmour guitar part. That's technical ability. That's also proof that creativity and soul trump empty technical skill.

[@birdman970]

lol, since when is wolfmother reaching to dubstepees?

[@sirblobsalot]

i just came

[@benjaminharrisonofficial]

@TheRandomSack While I respect your opinion, I disagree. Cosmic Egg was a much better ALBUM than the debut. While the first record certainly had a lot of good songs, as a whole it isn't nearly as good as Cosmic Egg. But that's just my opinion.

[@henrithefreak47]

its HAIR rock lol

[@vdj500]

@zapbranagan dude you;ve posted the exact same comment on every version of joker and the thief there is on youtube you really need to get a life

[@TheZombieJC]

He can. It'd just sound terrible and awkward if he did because the tone, articulation, and over all feeling that Michael Angelo Batio plays with is lacking in comparison to a creative musician like Gilmour.

[@maximoguitar16]

@nozanda Come on! A legend? He's good, but not a legend...

[@robdig1919]

looks like carrot top and sounds like jack white

[@TheZombieJC]

Hey, Page, Gilmour, and Slash weren't "technically" the best either. They still kicked more ass than people who were "technically" the best.

[@MrMisab]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses creative and oripional are you fucking kidding me? they sound like a led zepplin cover band. they've introduced nothing new to music that hasn't been around for the last 40 years.
