This is one of the best performances Jool's ever had. Out of tune? Yeah. Rough as hell? Yeah. This thing is just fucking passionate on a different level.

Gregor Samsa I thought you were post-structuralist? I'm confused...

What a performance. People who don't appreciate the music or the performance are Philistines. This is art.

I remember seeing this when it was broadcast on TV. Directly after this the camera panned to a very grumpy looking Robbie Williams who said "can I have my chair back?". It was brilliant.

For those who were in attendance of this show: You witnessed history. ATDI was one of the best bands of the last 20 years (not arguably). One of the most raw, honest, powerful performances ever captured on tape...a real toe tapper! For those of you who criticize the performance for being out of tune...you are ABSOLUTELY correct. That's why you should stick to Nickleback concerts...they're never out of tune. For the few of you who say this isn't "punk rock" you're ABSOLUTELY wrong. This is EXACTLY what punk rock is about: utter disregard for what anyone else thinks. Green Day is a great punk rock band for you folks. They can be found on most punk rock compilation CDs from the '90s.

+Hoppy Daze YES YES YES. Music is not science, music is not math, music should not be perfect, this is live music, true emotions, true feelings...

+Hoppy Daze You're half right, the performance wasn't supposed to sound like this. The guitarist gets his guitar knocked out of tune right at the start, and after replacing it for another guitar halfway through, proceeds to get that one knocked out of tune when he falls over the chair. By that point I think they'd decided to just roll with it, and in doing so accidentally gave one of the most epic performances ever :P

It's just amazing, they didn't worry about hitting the notes or singing in tone and yet this is beautiful, rock beauty!!!

it's a gorgeous, shambolic mess. I'f not a huge fan but this is an incredible performance.

This is the definition of no fucks given

Possibly the greatest live performance I've ever seen.

i remember watching this with my parents when it first went out. they thought it was "just noise" and i thought it was the most perfect balance between chaos and beauty

best live tv music performance of all time. hands down.

chills. everytime i come back to the video, i feel new again and purged as the raw energy just cleanses me.

Despite none of us being fans of Jools Holland somehow all me and my mates at university all caught this show independently of each other and were still talking about it years later. Just rewatched it now and no wonder; unbelievable performance.

Absolutely amazing performance

Pure energy and emotion.....Amazing

One of the best performs I have seen on telly

i absolutely love it wow.

the passion in this gets me everytime

Gotta love their energy.

Phenomenal - on a side note, out of the hundreds of bands Ive seen live over the years The Mars Volta at the Astoria in London (the first time they played there) was one of the best shows Ive ever seen!

What a hilarious performance. Both the actual song and the comments section.

the camera pans round to robbie williams just after this, his face is priceless

That was the most ridiculously punk-rock thing I've ever seen! I wish I had seen them live...

This one-armed scissor is blunt as hell

Damn. Both the songs from Jools Holland show are utter chaos. I love it. This kind of burn your own sound to the ground because you can kind of performance is fucking punk rock. Long live it. This is not a performance for those who want to see their favorite band go the careerist route. Long live ATDI!

Perfect.

I saw this 11 years ago and rewatched it just now. This is what made me go and buy Relationships of Command. I loved the performance back then and I see the reasons again. The energy is incredible.

Jim Ward, MVP

Omar starts actually playing the song at 1:08

has to be in my top 5 all-time performances

You are all saying it a horrible performance but it is a performs that you will remember for ages

Awesome!

Don't let anyone listen to this if they've never heard of them before!

gotta love the energy :D

All over the shop but somehow stilll amazing!!!!!!!

Awesome seen these guys open for Rage Against the Machine (Battle of Los Angeles) in Detroit. They came on stage and just started slammin shit, the lead singer kept bangin the mike on the ground droppin it, but it was awesome, the whole crew was jumpin off speakers laying on the stage and convulsing! I thought it was awesome I went and picked up their cd the next day! Those guys live is insane! Fav group!

i love how insanely wound up you are about this one thing

Song's been in my head since I was twelve... that's eight years of this kick ass song floating around my grey matter without hearing it on the radio at all, or mtv more than twice...

Love that the guitar actually sounds more solid after Omar throws his guitar into the crowd and it's just Jim playing by himself.

To think I was only five when this was aired.. I wish I watched it.. it would have blew my mind even more than when I heard it ten years later

awesome awesome awesome

AWESOME! I had the chance to see them at Reading festival in 2000 but I hadn't heard of them at the time, by the time I got into this album they had split up...probably my biggest regret ever!

I can see why people don't like this, but I actually quite like it, surprisingly.

Such a freaking awesome performance, absolutely incredible.

this is genuis

Theres a difference between high energy and actual remote professionalism of tuning up.

Any guitarist who can say "fuck guitar, what this song needs is some tamborine" is someone to aspire to.

this is probably one of the coolest live performances I've seen.

Fuck, this is one of my favourite At the Drive-In videos. It's so fucking dirty and gritty and just ruthless. I mean, this is clearly something that will mostly only appeal to people who are already fans of At the Drive-In in the first place, so it shouldn't be expected to make a good first impression of the band. As for me tho, I love the shit outta this video.

It's weird! I left a comment about three years ago about how fucking incredible this was and I got totally slated! Reading recent comments, I don't feel so alone anymore!

This performance is what got me into At The Drive-In. Fucking brilliant.

Yes.

absolute fucking chaos - thats why this is such a brilliant performance!!

one of the best things to have happened on Jools holland,Apart from so many great bands playing. Inclusing this band! :)

Sooo many sheep do not understand this band/performance. Fact is they were 5 guys making some of the most exciting music since Nirvana came out. They were also heavily on drugs and just out to go nuts. Im not pretentious but THIS IS EMOTION IN ITS PUREST FORM. They could have changed the world at a time when kids were fixated with Linkin Park and Limp Bizkits manufactured crap. Unfortunately they imploded before they had the chance but their legacy will live on forever

Reminds me of handful of peter off family guy... but seriously these guys changed the way I listen to music forever.

Jools holland is hardly a "mainstream talk show"

Talk about chaos wow.

that is how they are live! throw my guitar and pick up a 2X4 and start slammin - fucking genius - raw!!!

huge song

I demand reunion !

That poor Super-Sonic. Brilliant.

For people who say it sucks: The song is SUPPOSED to be out of tune, noisy and sloppy. That's the way it was written, that's the way it sounds on the album.

the second guitar player saves the day

Watched this yesterday, fucking class.

Should'a also shown the part after it with Robbie Williams standing at a piano saying "Can I have my chair back, please?", hilarity.

how THIS guy was the mastermind behind Deloused is beyond me lol

How can you be a fan of this band and think this was a terrible performance? Their music is ALREADY angular and dissonant. It's pure attitude, in your face balls to the wall punk/post-hardcore. Whatever the top commentator said was right. This is exciting, and there are plenty of tuned, inoffensive bands that don't have half the balls or the talent these guys do.

that reminded me of a nirvanna gig fucking class what an amazing band \m/

When music stops being about music and starts being about looking/acting "cool".

This clip makes me understand why Jim Ward felt the need to strike off and do his own thing.

@wpmorley01 fair enough, keep in mind one of the facets of the band is the ebb and flow of the performances yielding the nuance of each individual show. And to some, this.... well you get it

*continues laughing*

Seeing this kind of remind me of watching live clips of Blink-182 around the same period, they might not have been playing every note right, and it might be abit messy, but god damn do they have passion and energy. And the song actually sounds great this way, it is so punk rock in a strange way

i bought this CD the day it came out though i wasn't a fan of the band til it came out i admit, but it's so strange looking back and seeing the way (the right split into Sparta) and cedric and omar became mars volta.... the world wasn't ready for at the drive-in. or they were just on their own course.

I bet Jools wasn't expecting that

@horsehospital there's footage of it on youtube somewhere, you can see it for free. It's fantastic.

the strength of the stuff your inhaling must have the same energy FFSake

so fucking energyyyyyyyyyy

now that i agree with- enjoy it (even bills contribution-he did keep it all together)

Fair enough they were a little bit rough around the edges with the performance but at least they have the passion and balls to go all out.

this if FUCKING CHAOS!

I wonder if Omar actually knew what song he was supposed to be playing. It's hard to top such a performance

lol. I love this performance. NO FUCKS GIVEN.

Lmfaoi love it

Fucking awesome

@MrHello435222 theyre guitars are usually in tune, thurston and lee have around 10 guitars each on tour for several tunings but theyre all in tune

FUCKING BRILLIANT

Who gives a shit of winning any fans? Stop bashing and enjoy it!

Ohh I didn't know that!

Player 1 notes hit: 43%

i'm amazed anyone can think this is bad. the rhythm section are tight and give omar and cedric free reign to do what they like. there's nothing i hate more than going to see a band and hearing them play songs as carbon copies of what's on the album. Xx

I love how tight the whole band is except Omar and Cedric. 3:11 Omar; 'Fuck the guitar' haha Fucking awesome

@PantherOfLove thats the point, they just went on the show to cause chaos , not put on a perfect show. if you realise that before you watch it - it seems like much more fun !!

OMAR IS CRAZY!!!

You talking about the shit that's in the charts today? Cool

Reminds me of everything I love about Nirvana.

the performance wasn't meant to be watched on youtube. it's difficult to appreciate the energy here, but live it must have been amazing. i think they get enough of the song across too, roughness adds to the raw feel.

And they were all on the tambourine.

Relationship of Command > Deloused in the Comatorium. For me at least. And seriously. Watch the Letterman performance if you doubt how fucking amazing this band is.

its weird this is their worst but best performance

What I really mean is a musician that knows when the requirements of the song go beyond those of their own instrument. Anyway, some of the best guitarists are those who play like they're engaged in a bitter and angry feud with their guitar. Unless by 'fuck guitar' you mean 'giving up', then I think a fuck-you attitude can be a great one for a guitarist.
