In their prime they were the love child of joy division and the smiths. One of the greatest indie bands of all time.
The red -head playing guitar is Richard from Arcade Fire
Oh yeah!
Holy fuck thats amazing!!!!
I love the way that The National seem to enjoy collaborating with other musicians when playing live. Richard Reed Parry is such an extraordinary talent and one of the reasons I am a fan of AF as well as The National. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Reed_Parry
High Violet will forever be the best album in the history of the universe. Timeless and priceless.
Matt's decision to grow a beard was the best decision of his life.
Aaron and Bryce use some incredible effects on their guitars, coupled with amazing musicianship. and damn, that rhythm section is flawless. and Matt... oh boy, what a perfect band.
That Letterman show was the first time I had ever listened to The National. 5 years later and still one of my favorite bands.
I miss Dave's show. One of the greatest talk show hosts and always introducing me to awesome bands.
Classiest rock band around
Still floored at how incredible their music is. One of my favorites from High Violet.
Love the way Pauls says "Ah, The National"
they are simply the best of the best in music right now.
what an awesome song love this band
love this song
Richard Reed Parry is like an angel here I love this talented and interesting man
I really enjoy this version of the song! especially when it gets all quiet at the final 'I was afraid' part
Funny how they changed the line "You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think" to "You'll never believe the silly thoughts I think" :D
One of the best bridges of all time!
Such a great band
FANTASTIC SONG
this band had me at "I was afraid/ I'd eat your brains"
Uno dei migliori gruppi degli anni 2000...
I guess I'm just not knowledgable enough on the technicalities of performances but I'm so surprised at how many people are commenting on how 'off' he was ... The whole time I was stunned at how amazing this was! Honestly I think they're one of the best bands live! But to me, it's more about the experience of hearing these songs straight from the source.
SamsXO he sounds like shit lol
going to see them on March 17th in Shibuya. can't wait!! this song rocks.
Love it!!
That drummer is amazing.
Did any one notice that Arcade Fires Richard Reed Perry, is playing backup guitar, and vocals
The National awesome band and a very good album
LOVE.
I cannot wait to see them in Chicago with The Arcade Fire!!!!! That show will be spectacular!!
This is fucking rock and roll. One of the few good modern rock bands. You don't have to be so hipster about it with your "their Indie Rock/ Post-Punk Revival"
Thats the guy from Arcade Fire with the guitar right??
great performance!!! I purposly tuned in to Letterman to see this but i changed the channel on a commercial and bob ross was on and i got a little bit distracted and missed this!!!
It's a hollywood summer
Letterman not holding the album the right way up stresses me out every time I watch this
Great!
This is my favourite song on High Violet...so they had crappy sound on Letterman, they absolutely kicked in in Auckland, NZ in January...love my National boys...
Theirs more people in this band then in some countries. love this song!
Totally agree.....
I love that Richard Parry joins them.
Hunter S. Thompson on the bass guitar, John Lennon on drums, and Walter White on lead vocals...talk about a star studded lineup!
Anyone noticed that Dave was not holding the album the right side?
And a bearded Chuck Bartowski on the trumpet
Last time they played Letterman they has Sufjan with them and now Richard?! I can't handle this!!
Nice
@ih8pikeys That's Richard Parry, from Arcade Fire, yes! He contributed in the album (Hight Violet) also.
I do admit that the notion The National played Conversation 16 on the Letterman show amuses me greatly... Outstanding track, but by golly I'd expect Sorrow or England as (vaguely) more crowd pleasing songs :) "I was afraid I'd eat your braiiiiiiiinnnsss".
3:30 on had me moving at my desk
@morangorama I thought so. He's great.
You're right
dagli Stati Uniti direi il migliore!
🎉
@idn Then again, he is. But thanks for your contribution.
Matt Berninger sounds a lot more like Ian Curtis in this than Matt Berninger
@denali637 I've noticed the same thing, too. I love The National and enjoy watching them live, but am always surprised that Matt has particular trouble with the "'cause I'm evil" line.
The National has the strictest dress code in all of music.
Morrissey you mean….
@ih8pikeys No, and sorry I don't know his name. He plays with the band seemingly often (at least in NYC) and sings some of the high parts on High Violet.
I know it's been mentioned but look, it's Richard Reed Parry...
are those your drums? nice drums
@cyezak Yeah, this is discussed below.
I like just about any band that has brass in it! Lyrics are a little strange, but music makes that not matter so much. I have seen alot of comments for this band saying how much the drummer resembles John Lennon (a little), but none about how much the brothers resemble Dominic Monaghan from "Lost"!
I love people who don't get The National ...
"I was afraid I'd eat your brains...."
Is that the dude from Arcade Fire?
anyone know what guitar aaron is playing? It looks like a gold top ES-335 but as far as I know those were only made for one year in the 50s. One of those now is worth like 15k
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) A yellow ES-335? Richard's tele looks a little funny though, do you know what that one is?
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) i'm pretty sure it's a natural (blond) finish 335, it shows up gold under the stage lighting. Gibson didn't make too many 335's with the natural finish, either.
+hpsfl Looks like a Fender '72 reissue to me.
+Nathan James brother Bryce is playing the Fender re-issue :)
Gotta love RRP...
What about his drums David?
Yeah...
Holy Shit! It is Richard fro Arcade Fire.
That guy from Arcade Fire???
Some years later...the video cover much much better
The american Arcade Fire
@baina hahahaha
@RevRyan15
Unless you play the silver trumpet or drums, apparently! Amazing performance though!
@druminvader to be fair, it's probably so people can read the text properly
@surfwaxafghani thats nice...
Ron Weasly is in The National!?
@denali637
It's kind of funny, you call it a "mistake" when they're the ones that wrote and are performing the song. I mean, you're most likely correct, but you can't say for sure. Who knows, maybe Matt did that on purpose. Just a thought lol :P
wow their good live lol
its not a dress code. they actually like dressing nice.
@denali637 i think you are being a bit nit picky...his vocals sound okay. maybe a bit weak at times but i think they sound just fine.
Berdy Ted Mosby on trumpet!
awesome as usual!
@denali637
Yeah, that's true. But it kinda adds a little charm and...humanity to the performance, don't ya think? Which I especially like with The National since their music is so human already. Or, you could say the human imperfections in the performance keep a balance with the inhumanly good music lol
is there a sardar in the band?
I think the kids are in trouble
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything
It's a Hollywood summer
You'd never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said, I didn't mean anything
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
I'm a confident liar
Had my head in the oven so you'd know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I wanna believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
Traduci in italiano
@Von2good disagree...i think it is one of THE strongest. and apparently they do too or they wouldn't have played it on national tv.
@ElainaBuie I'll have to check them out. If they are more dapper than The National, I'm expecting to see full tuxes.
i wish the voice went deeper @3:40
Do you think they have enough band members? what no cow bell? with that said this is a great band and song!
They've had gigs on Letterman with even more!
haha he says just about anything is rock n'roll, don't worry about it
Bryan Devendorf is a fucking God.
Is that Ron Weasley in the middle there?
+Michael H. haha that's one of the members of arcade fire
Michael HA Ha 🤣
lol
@morangorama Wow... =P
when i said what i said i didn't mean anything
You're holding the cover incorrectly David
A love song about cannibals :)
Holy shit, John Lennon on drums!
The Darlingtons sound kinda like these guys.
@RevRyan15 false. that goes to Interpol.
No, Interpol does.
@sraosby901 it's part of his shtick. it helps him catch you off-guard with clever jokes
OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! >.< great!
