+autumn in april Exactly the same with me autumn. I just loved it when I heard it in 2003. It was just like nothing else I'd heard before. I loved the Bass line as well. The bass is so mesmerizing. I love the little staccato bursts, the octaves, everything.
AND ISN'T THAT AMAZING? That's one of the reasons why I love them, they could be my school's band! Well, maybe if they didn't write such lyrics as in "stella was a diver...". I think the teachers wouldn't like them :P
One of the greatest songs indeed..simple yet great and thats what interpol does. No one writes tunes like them. There are thousands of more technically advanced bands who basically make shit tunes inspite of all their so called "technical ability" (which in itself is not impressive in the slightest) which does not mean anything if you cannot create something that moves you. Interpol is on another level of songwriting which was only matched by couple of bands in 00s.
A drummer in a band never really stands out to me as being an irreplaceable piece. But fuck man that drummer is really good. I've rarely if ever seen someone play like that to where it's insanely noticeable
@@mrtaytogaming matt is insane...however he can only really show that in the studio, he couldn't stay on tempo when playing live to save his life, still insanely good... Thats why bloc party always sounded raw live
+Yessica Villegas I know Carlos D didn't get that his contribution to interpol's sound was crucial. He used a Fender Jazz bass with a pick and a very clean tone. He does so many cool little things on the bass that just make this song. From what I read, Carlos was not happy "Just being the bass player," and decided to quit. The band was never the same. Paul Banks said in confusion "I mean It[bass] is a major harmonic component." I understand why bass players feel underappreciated in rock music, having played both guitar and bass in many types of bands, but the bass fills a pocket of sounds that only the kick drum really can compete with. You man not always be thinking about the bass sound in a song, but once it is removed you realize that something is definitely missing. And shamefully, Carlos D had such amazing bass lines that threw in bass riffs in between the other instrumental parts, which was nothing short of genius. This song is a perfect example of Carlos' style. The same is true with Incubus. After their original bassist Dirk Lance left circa 2002, Incubus was never the same. Losing a bassist can really affect a band. Luckily when Tool fired their original bassist Paul D'Amour after their first album, they were lucky enough to find Justin Chancellor who is an amazing bassist, albeit very different in tone and style than Paul. So to reiterate my point when tool switched bass players it totally changed their sound. Pre-Aenima Tool has a much crunchier pick bass guitar tone.
+john tandberg You put that very well, good sir. I always had trouble picking up the bass whenever I was listening to a song. My friends who are all more musically inclined than me would be like "dude listen to that bass line" and I would have to really strain my ears to get what they were talking about, and even then I wasn't sure if I was hearing what I was supposed to. Carlos D completely changed that for me. His style is so distinct and captivating that once you register his bass lines/riffs it's practically impossible to get lost in any other component of the music without the bass calling you back. It truly is sad if he felt underappreciated.
I saw them live in Houston back in November and I have to say it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. His voice sounds no different live. It sounds like you're listening to it through your phone. It's so clear and amazing. One of my favorite bands.
+Mr. Brown I clicked this link to find out if his voice was really that good. I think the answer is no, his voice is *better live* because he can sort of do what he wants rather than stick to exact production. I don't know the correct terms for the thing I am trying to convey, but it is good to know Interpol sounds better (in my opinion) live than in a recording studio. How many bands can claim that in recent years?
I’ve only found this song fairly recently, and it quickly became one of my favourites. Unfortunately, I’ll have to admit that I haven’t listened to enough material from this group, but now I plan to do so. I hope everyone else enjoys as well!
durbeyfield oh for sure man. Carlos D had the most amazing bass lines. Some of the best Music I heard at the time. Turn on the bright lights and antics were pure awesome. But he left. And honestly i heard one of his interviews about all of it. He didn't even know who Carlos D was. (Himself) it was all a blur to him. He said the words "I was tired of being a rockstar". Don't really know what was going on between Paul and him but it was really fucking up things. He left in 2010 I think right as they were recording their new album. He never finished the album with them but he did give them all his bass lines for the songs he did record. When the album came out he didn't know what he was listening to because none of his work was in the album. He did leave the band afterall but there is a reason they are not as good.
Paul and co. put on an absolutely stellar performance, there's no doubt about that, but I extend my props to the audio engineers that were present that night. THIS is exactly how music should sound.
Jesus effing Christ this is one of the most awesome sounding songs ever written. I can’t stop listening to this. The drums are so sick. Everything about this song is sick. I can’t wait to see them with Morrissey in September.
I've seen these guys live three times and they are amazing! This song is one of my favorites. Love the bass lines (too bad Carlos D left) and Sam Fogarino is an amazing drummer.
honestly one of the best songs ever written. The drums are insane and the bass is extremely intricate. It's just such a fucking good song.
+musicalman1995 The word that defines it is ultra-intense... It´s a deppressive song with such emotion on it. It makes it perfect
+musicalman1995 GOD* song not good. HAHAH
I remember where I was when I first heard it. All time favs.
It's a wonderful song but the drums are not insane and the bass is not extremely intricate.
Damn man this song is the shit hearing this in 2017 is the shit man I first heard this in 7th grade man. Best year ever. Wow.
Obstacle 1 was the first song I loved by Interpol, it's just amazing.
+autumn in april Exactly the same with me autumn. I just loved it when I heard it in 2003. It was just like nothing else I'd heard before. I loved the Bass line as well. The bass is so mesmerizing. I love the little staccato bursts, the octaves, everything.
Agree, when I heard this song I was in middle school and It changed everything!
Same here
They peaked with obstacle 1
ggthewhale lol what?
Fuck, it sounds even better live
Seeing them live splits your head open. The harmonics between the guitars is hypnotic. If you get the chance, GO!
LuisLEONFC73 at least this performance
The way they are dressed/hair styles remind me of an amateur punk rock band that would play at american school proms in the movies
AND ISN'T THAT AMAZING? That's one of the reasons why I love them, they could be my school's band! Well, maybe if they didn't write such lyrics as in "stella was a diver...". I think the teachers wouldn't like them :P
+primadonna Interpol is actually good though
lmaooo if this isn't spot on
Are they not??

they are all in their prime form here, Carlos D is killing it with his stage presence and the drummer is beyond amazing
Top three bass players as far as stage presence: Carlos D from Interpol, Twiggy from Marilyn Manson, and Jean-Michel from Gojira. Change my mind.
chi from deftones is my favourite @@1DarkBaron
@@samuelmenearmediachannel9277na he changed into a fly
His voice is unique, only he can sing that song 💜
The Killers did a decent cover of this song:
czcams.com/video/Cgux12_AWno/video.html
thank god they didnt kill it with pitch correction
@@officeaddict33 the bass in their cover is a crime against humanity Jesus Christ
His voice is inspired by Joy Division
@@angelrai5993 that's not true, his voice is similary but he doesn't inspired bye Ian Curtis, Paul has said it on some interviews
Bright Lights is perfection.
Only amateurs need lyrics to this song. Pros know it by heart

Travis Barker, Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland, Ginger Baker to add to your list to check out ;)

Thats why bloc party always sounded raw live
This drummer is amazing....Incredibly precise and rock solid and retains the feel of the original track.
Carlos had the best stage presence for a bassist and his basslines were always killer
That drum and bass sounds like a fucking train. Awesome.
one of their best live performances in my opinion
This song is so great that it sinks my heart. Too nostalgic for me sometimes lol. What a great piece.
same.
well the song IS about old times like the lyrics say, soo DUHHHH
I LOVE this song. It just can't get out of my head. One of the best song I've ever heard
I was at this performance. Can't believe it was so long ago.. I still miss Carlos presence :(

Ive seen so many bass player but this carlos was god mode.
@@tandbergj Correction, as true as your statement was on all accounts, Paul D'amour also did undertow with Tool too so he did 2 albums
how could i go 11 years without knowing this music!!
Idk :P
Federico Treviño Well I just heard this as of a couple days ago 😂😂😭😭
Federico Treviño, damn!! You were losing such good music!
one of the greatest songs of all time.
The bass make everything...
59Juliie, the voice... 👌
Great capture of a band at their peak.
This is my favorite live Interpol clip on CZcams. So fucking intense and good.
+Ronan RiemanJohns
Cheers to that. Lots of crowd energy, tight playing and Paul's vocals come through very well. High rotation video for me lately too
it is beautiful when the truth leaks into the masses
Interpol is the epitome of a band that plays laid back rock and roll but makes it super powerful at the same time.
They're incredibly tight here. Definitely one of their best performances.
2:16 Holy shit, they got John Lennon on keyboards.

Mr. Brown, I know!! They are so good live! Interpol's was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Absolutely signature song of interpol
Wicked nostalgia hearing this song. Bittersweet.
the drummer!!
New York has produced some class acts, interpol, strokes, velvet underground.
It’s amazing how much Television (the band) influences are in these New York bands such as these guys and the strokes
Indie rock bass is value af
is nice but for this song id use a p bass
All the rage back home is my first favorite from interpol
Eargasm!!
I love this song so fucking much. One of the best songs I've ever heard
man i love the bass (:
This song has one of the best bass parts. Really lifts the song to another level.
i miss carlos! still love interpol, but i miss carlos!
One of the best live performances I've heared!
Amazing. Reminds me of Ian Curtis' voice.
Meghan Routledge When he drops into baritone like that, it's so Ian Curtis.
Meghan Routledge And it's beautiful.
Meghan Routledge my thoughts exactly
She's bad!
Huh?
💙 old days are good
Their sound is always immaculate. Regrettably, I have never seen Interpol live.
Interpol sounds amazing live
20 years today of this amazing performance live! ❤
Great vocals. Arguably better than on the album.
Este fue el primer video que vi de interpol y hace 1 semanas (9 de abril) los vi en vivo en lima/Perú. Fue un conciertasoooo! Cerraron con este tema!
Fue épico, me encantó el setlist, cerrar con Obstacle 1 fue lo máximo!
I jus heard these guys last week and I want to see them live!!!
I’ve only found this song fairly recently, and it quickly became one of my favourites. Unfortunately, I’ll have to admit that I haven’t listened to enough material from this group, but now I plan to do so. I hope everyone else enjoys as well!
This is my first song by then. Do you recommend the rest of their music ???
Incredible. Goosebumps. Someone here said it right. Only PB can sing that song
As close to perfection as you can possibly get! 💪
One of the best bass played songs. Carlos is legit
man Carlos Dengler was so fucking awesome in Interpol. I still love their new stuff but something is missing without him.

Were they any good?
I cant believe it's been 13 yrs since I first watched this performance on live tv. :o
amazing .......she can...... she is..
Sam's drums are so damn tight in this. Not a split second out of time
I've seen these guys live three times and they are amazing! This song is one of my favorites. Love the bass lines (too bad Carlos D left) and Sam Fogarino is an amazing drummer.
Yessss i saw them two times live and theyre amazinggggg
hopewfully you got to see them when carlos was still in
So much sensuality among these musicians.
I get goosebumps every time I hear this song.
Dude... I NEED TO SEE THEM LIVE!!
Those drums sound fucking amazing!
Timeless
Great performance!!
13 years later...still love this song 😱💙
After all these years still a great song
The first time i watched this live version i cried and fell in love with interpol
Masterpiece
I was sat down at Leeds festival in 2003, mildy familiar with Leif Erikson. After about 2 songs I was a convert. First album was unbelievable.
Amazing and nostalgic song
que buena cancion por parte de esta grandiosa banda!!
still listening to this
my man
Never get sick of this!
I can't pick which one of them I love the most.
Pretty depressing how old this is now. I was lucky enough to see them supporting this first album at the Electric Factory in Philly. ✌️
wow his vocals are fckin awesome
even better live than in studio
ese carlos siempre fue un desmadreee
Si xdd
Amazing !
My favorite Interpol song:))
The bass and drums in this song are the dopest! The kick is so punchy
One could argue that this was the last great era of rock in the charts, or just in general
Chicken wing, chicken wing, chicken wing
Cheese bad!
😂😂😂😂😆
I hear cheese bag
jajajaajajaja
Ho Chi Mints She can't read she can't read she can't read shes black...🤔

Mi favorita de Interpol

The drums are mixed so well
