The Gaslight Anthem Play "45" Acoustic
 
Check the replies to watch Brian Fallon play The Gaslight Anthem's new single, acoustically.

he looks so different and rugged haha. love his acoustic performances.

This is low on the quality scale for acoustic Fallon but even so it's still pretty good.

like this even more than the regular version, can we get a gaslight acoustics album

Chris Collum 05/02/12 07:39 PM
Not a fan really. Sounds like he's straining big-time to hit a lot of the notes.

I'm a sucker for acoustics haha. i have no problem admitting the other one is better, better quality, better executed. theres just something about brian solo that always gets me more

Liked how he slowed it down at the end.

koryoreo 05/02/12 08:07 PM
This is good, but it's definitely not as good as most of his acoustic stuff. Slightly disappointing,but that's only because this dude usually destroys all expectations. I'll gladly give him a break on this one.

mrnegativezero 05/02/12 08:09 PM
Unfortunately I can never really get into their acoustic renditions. Don't know why. I'll stick to the Rolling Stone stream.

CollectiveConfusion 05/02/12 08:13 PM
I liked the end better, when he dropped the vocals down an octave or so... lends itself better to acoustic versions.

agreed. I'm sure there'll be more acoustic versions of this song that are more finely-tuned and less strained.

PowerRanga 05/02/12 08:49 PM
can this just hurry up and BE on iTunes?

xHoodieWeather 05/02/12 08:57 PM
can't remember the last time i actually bought an individual mp3 since i usually do spotify/vinyl, but i'm 100% sure this will be purchased when it is released. this song is too good.

Yeah. I've watched/listened tons of Brian solo acoustic stuff and he does tend to mess with his vocals a lot, which leads to some versions being better than others. I have no doubt that he will perform better versions of this song in the future.

Are there any music industry people who know why Mercury premiered this song two weeks before you could by it?

It makes zero sense to me. There has to be a ton of people who looked to buy it after hearing it, found out they couldn't, then downloaded it somewhere for free.

he IS sitting on the floor Indian-style

Fuck, dude looks old. Looks like an old hero.

Can't wait for this record.

James Johnson 05/02/12 11:22 PM
Only Brian Fallon and the gang can get me this excited about an upcoming album.

Its like I'm a teenager and Deja Entendu is about to drop all over again!

ultragabe 05/02/12 11:35 PM
If this song were on the '59 sound or American Slang, I'd listen to it the least. Consider me underwhelmed.

billyboatkid 05/03/12 12:24 AM
Never cared for this band until I watched that. Pretty good.

Agree on both counts

fna4 05/03/12 03:08 AM
This would be a good song if any other band released it but after 3 amazing albums I'm a little underwhelmed with this song.

as someone in business, they're generating hype and spreading the word. some people obviously won't buy and just rip it, but alot will. maybe they're trying to top itines tops 1o and thus get even more hype and attention for gaslight

Still holding out for proper release to hear this song.

fsmith84 05/03/12 07:21 AM
Damn. The last verse sounds the best - I almost wish he would have sung the whole song in that lower octave. Brings a new sound to it.

...not in place of the recorded version though. His verses on that are absolutely perfect.

ElGordoTacos 05/03/12 09:32 AM
Wow, this sounds horrible.

Debut_Fin 05/03/12 09:59 AM
Gaslight is one of my absolute favorite bands on Earth, but I do not like Gaslight acoustic. Not sure why

harsh reality 05/03/12 11:24 AM
That was awful.

I'll give Fallon a pass but not every song will turn out great with an acoustic guitar

Jaytothesyg 05/03/12 11:42 AM
Ugh...This song is too good

Fuck You Aurora 05/03/12 01:14 PM
Not bad, but not great. I like it thoe.

Ask and you shall receive. Found this b-sides album a while ago. "The '59 Sound Acoustic Sessions'. 17 quality acoustic Gaslight tracks in all their glory.
