I just can't get over how close they resemble Springsteen.

by dev on 2008-12-10 13:10:35 Alright, well since the folks so far have either turned on them or just plain don't like them, I'll be the first to say I thought it sounded pretty good. I was glad they played The 59 Sound over Old White Lincoln.

Good performance. Most bands on Conan sound like shit but they really pulled it off even though the mixing was iffy.

Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by TheMike on 2008-12-10 13:16:24 Sounds pretty good. Not too big a fan of the band or the album, really (they're ok, but I'm not crazy over them), but this is a nice song. Not a bad performance, but the sound on these shows are always a little weak. Vocals sound pretty sweet, though. A little different than in the studio, but that's not always a bad thing.

by briennis on 2008-12-10 13:16:26 http://eatyourguitar.org/dennis havent really heard this band before, moderately impressed, what everyones saying about it sounding like third-rate Springsteen is true. if they were a diy band, i'd probably love 'em.

Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by party-animal on 2008-12-10 13:26:04 http://www.iwearabeard.wordpress.com My g/f commented that it sounded like shit. True I think the vocals were a little too far out in front but live with him sounding a little gruff almost sounded like Sink or Swim TGA. The new album is awesome but my one complaint would be its a little too slick but live it must be great.

So, anybody really dig this band while always finding Springsteen cheesy and kind of lame? I think they do Springsteen better than The Boss (come on, admit it, even the nickname is lame as fuck).

Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by FelixT on 2008-12-10 13:36:45 I've got a question. I am not from the US of A and I was wondering, now that MTV doesn't play videos anymore, what good music channels are there left? A lot of bands make at least one video for everyone of their albums. So... what's the use if no one will play them? Just to make Internet fans happy?

Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by gotsmuch on 2008-12-10 14:04:40 so, i read this story, and then i went and listened to '59, in full. when i was finished, i turned on my tv to hear a band called "jack's mannequin" for the first time. and now i want to kill myself.

by thelukearms on 2008-12-10 15:58:18 I don't really post on here much but me and my friend read the comments on here a lot. Some of the comments are amazing. We met up to see Smoke or Fire two weeks ago and spent a good 10 minutes talking about comical org posts while his girlfriend and two other friends looked on....geekz!
Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by cheesehead4 on 2008-12-10 16:01:49 http://www.myspace.com/alcus4 Greatest band out there right now. Along with Polar Bear Club, Cobra Skulls and D4. And to me, i'm right.

The Gaslight Anthem did the best job that they could have under the circirmstances of having almost no control over the situation. A live performance is almost nothing like the studio version, so if you want to hear that kind of crap music go buy a Jonas Bros album and suck your thumb. I personally wanted to hear The Backseat.

How the FUCK are these guys so popular around here? There are so many indie rock bands reviewed on this site that get mocked by nearly the whole punknews community. What makes these clowns any different?
Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by TheKidsAreSoSo on 2008-12-10 19:37:37 http://www.cjlo.com/Shows/thekids well I can see that Brian has completely stopped trying to not blatantly sound like The Boss.
Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by Torgo on 2008-12-10 21:34:56 http://www.last.fm/user/PayToCum/ One of the consistantly great live bands out there right now. My favorite This Charming Man stuff was with Brian Fallon anyway, so it made perfect sense that the Gaslight Anthem would be just as good, if not better and to me, I'm right. I see them whenever I can, can't wait for the new album.
Re: The Gaslight Anthem: "The '59 Sound (Live on Conan)"
by Misanthropee on 2008-12-10 21:58:56 http://www.ubuntu.com/ Decent song, AWFUL guitar sound, and I watched it on TV through my fancy stereo. It might be the band's fault for bringing minimal amps to a show accustomed to hosting bigger groups with big equipment, but it seems to me the sound folks there could have done SOMETHING to make those little Voxs or whatever sound a bit bigger...
