Joker & The Thief

This was the last single to be released off the debut Wolfmother record. We'd sold out many massive venues and hit the stage at many a large festival. Only about a year or so into our touring was this song released as a single as you've probably seen and or noticed this is probably our biggest single to date. Just shows sometimes it takes a bit of time for a song to take traction.

People don't realise how hard it is to play behind the beat like this... the whole band is SMASHING it

Bro this band sucks, what year is it? "Mike Patton"

[@Gonzalez1578]

Hahaha this band died bro

[@HashiAkitaPuppy]

@@grandmasterbash How's your band doing?

[@Samotbackwards]

@@grandmasterbash Nik Taylor what year is it? Are we still hating Wolfmother and praising Faith No More? As a huge Faith No More fan, this shit slaps. Grow the fuck up.

[@TheRealBasch]

@@Samotbackwards No it doesn’t. Not every band that is past its peak magically becomes great. This version is worse than your average high school cover band.

When that intro riff plays before a faceoff at the end of an NHL game = pure hype & goosebumps

Kudos to the drummer for playing softer than he probably is used to. You can see him hold back how hard he's hitting but he didn't blow everyone elses head off and it helped the performance. Too many sefish drummers out there don't play to the room.

[@janemba42]

As a drummer I can say it's not that easy. I play with a similar setup with my band in a small room and I can't play full volume because it just overpowers everything.

[@stevieb89]

@@janemba42 I agree. As a drummer it's just physically difficult to play "softly". It's not an ego thing

[@kodykindhart5644]

Ok well then work on it 😂

As a bassist I’ll be the first to lest you know your dynamics are shit… if the singer notices you’ll probably not be called back

I can still remember hearing this song driving on I-94 in 2005/2006 as a 20-21 year old. Almost every time I would hear this song on the radio I would subsequently start driving faster.

[@gabrielpezzinigazzaneo3342]

I saw them paying in Adelaide a couple of months back. After the show, my wife and I stayed in the place to have some beer and chat with some people we met there......suddenly Andrew Stock-fucking-dale starts walking around the place chatting with everyone. I had the pleasure to chat with him and even took a picture. What an amazing dude! Literally a dream coming true since I've been listening to them since around 06

Man, it was close 20 years ago that I certainly across this band on MySpace. I ordered their CD from Australia and it cost me $35 with shipping. And then about a month later they released it in the states. I was miffed about it and also happy for them. Been a fan from the start.
