Oct 14, 2008 - The slide sounds like Ramble On by Zeppelin.
SpinachEater74 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - Yeah because...they are both sliding...that is about it
nonamelef Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - Also, this music is unoriginal, that's about it too. Oooh, they're soooo artistic. Didn't Depeche Mode, R.E.M., Bauhaus, and about 1,000,000 other bands do the "Artsy Fartsy college boys" thing already? Oooh, it's soo minimalistic, yet full of meaning, chock full of vapid undertones written while stoned in someone's basement. Also sounds alot like Beck. Be original!

Oct 14, 2008 - heres an idea....if you like it, give them a well done, if your gna criticise it, hold your tongue, no one wants to hear you whine about "sounds like this that and the other!" Oh, and if you think its crap, you go get famous and do better...

Oct 14, 2008 - There is no originality left in the world...it's all drawn from something. Don't listen if you don't like...

nonamelef Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - Agreed. You're right.
benjamins306 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - I don't really care for this either...though I do like them...this sounds too hippy and like so many others. video is interesting :)

perryt Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - wtf is this. sounds like my fart.
luiscarlos21 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - I guess you're right, I completely caught that whole vibe, but... nothing we can do, I guess we must accept the changes, and if we don't like it we should try to make our own thing, at least I know I'm trying to.

Oct 14, 2008 - Well, maybe you should get your arse down to a club and start making some money, eh?
wierdinagoodway Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - Lmao! 'Perryt' Your comment made me laugh soo hard!
JoeThePsycoRobot Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - these guys are gross
epicstorm2006 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - How right you are! If it makes nod your head or tap your foot to the beat, if it makes you wanna dance, or sing out aloud... what difference does it make whether it's orignal or not...? I say thank goodness there are people who emulate the masters of the blues, jazz, rock, or whatever... it keeps the good stuff alive, and makes it available to new generations to enjoy and build upon.

Oct 14, 2008 - beautifully done in their goofball sort of way. this is one of the few Louis XIV videos without any booty. Nice.
ahug4you323 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - so are kings of leon, bob dylan and bob marley but that doesnt/didn't keep them from being awesome.
JoeThePsycoRobot Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - gross in the sense that they are stereotypical douches in the way that they treat women and the way they live their lives in general.kings of leon really aren't that great by the way.dylan and bob marley made great music as well. louis xiv are totally unoriginal and just pointless.
ahug4you323 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - well you're the stereotypical hater :-) which would also make you a douche bag.how they treat women, they could do a lot worse. I also disagree with the unoriginal point, they have very obvious influences but at the same time they still have their unique sound. Kings of Leon are the same way same goes for foo fighters, Rock isn't supposed to be over complicated, it's just funIf I might ask what do you normally listen to?
ahug4you323 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - I see you're a death cab for cutie fan, they happen to be my favorite band, ben gibbard is my idol as a lyricist in the postal service and the death cab alike and chris walla seems to match up the emotion of the lyrics with the music almost perfectly so i will give you some respect although i dislike your bashing of musicians creativity. I would also recommend portishead, MGMT, arcade fire, amber rubarth, ray lamontagne and Okkervil River
0KG0Fan Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - I agree.
AcrossTheUniverse3 Says:
Oct 14, 2008 - I happen to be a women, and I think they're awesome. Some of their lyrics are vulgar, but still awesome, but then again, some of the greatest artists in history are a vulgar. so.You can shove it. If you don't want to listen to, then don't.

Oct 14, 2008 - I love this band....saw then in Vegas at a private party a few years ago!
