JAMC on Letterman- sucked
 
They played quite possibly the worst song they ever wrote. The backing band sucked too. I don't know who is playing drums for them, but it really isn't working.

What track did they play?

the drummer was more bored than the reid brothers!!! impossible!

actually, i thought they were alright, exactly what i expected, i didn't expect them to move at all; i was disappointed with the song choice as i wanted to hear something from psychocandy and with more distortion but oh well.

i don't get to see good bands on tv at all so i enjoyed it.

pbradley 05.22.2007 10:21 AM

ugh, the riff was so fucking lame and then I thought I heard something start sounding like the "chinaman" diddy

but I was expecting worse so whatever

sonicl 05.22.2007 10:21 AM

What the f*** did they f***ing play????

Everyneurotic 05.22.2007 10:28 AM

Didn't see the Letterman show, but I heard that Lol from Ride is playing drums for them on this tour.

The song is a new one called "All Things Must Pass." It's not a cover of the George Harrison song.
I think it's pretty good; so did Letterman.

Scarlett Johansen sang back-up for them at Coachella. EW had a picture and blurb last week.

I didn't want to get out of bed last night.

nicfit 05.22.2007 01:39 PM

wow, that's really pretty bad :(

Everyneurotic 05.22.2007 02:01 PM

yeah, dave really liked them, he probably loves them and was eager to see them.

i'm glad they didn't bring that retard actress to embarras herself on (inter)national tv.

sonicl 05.22.2007 03:36 PM

I'm going to see them next month.

She's not a retard, I am gonna marry her someday!

Does Letterman have it uploaded on his website? Links??

Not that bad, it just sounds too different from their usual stuff.

Nice!

I just think that it is an incredibly boring song. The lead guitar part reminds me of those shitty cartoons they used to make in the 60s.

That was a good idea indeed, when you hear her singing "skills":

No, liar she promised me that she' ll marry me, not you !!!

Concerning the Letterman show, well, not bad, but not exceptional.:(

k-krack 05.23.2007 06:15 PM

Enough Scarlett bashing. Not only is she fucking beautiful to no end, she likes some good music, apparently.

The song was mediocre at best. (What else would you expect though, right?) Really boring riff(s). And I'm with Evrynewrawtick, I was hoping for some killer distortion.

I think her backup vocals were fine.
