Kids, this is how you rock... At the end of the clip she says something like "That was me trying to play "Thunderstruck" and not actually knowing the notes. But, the intention was there." She's too cool.
She is a very interesting prospect, I love her lyrics. In a way she reminds me of Kurt Cobain and I dont know why, but she just does. Really digging her music. It's refreshing
This never gets old . i come back here every so often, to recharge when i'm drained, and i always feel better after watching this . she's smart, cool, and she rocks.
She makes me excited about the future of music, we could be living through another leader of music that will be continuously adored forever like McCartney and Lennon.
+Josh Thomson Meh, Beatles are about love and crap, to me it's delusional. She's got a real and sort of chaotic view on things, which to me makes sense. I guess Beatles is feel-good, and she's feel-real. Therefore, I can't say anyone is better 'cause it's relative, but I like her 100 times more.
Matthieu Fankhauser Yes, the Beatles spread a strong message of love in most of there work, but they are known as some of the best songwriters ever just because they are. Listen to Revolver, that one seems more up your ally.
+Matthieu Fankhauser ...you're clearly not familiar with any of The Beatles' stuff. They were pioneers of experimentation- singing about politics, protest, breaking social and sexual convention, challenging the ideas of love, violence, peace and drugs. Plus their music is amazing. (see Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road just to name a very few). They aren't the greatest band in the world for no reason.
I heard Courtney for the first time, on XPN two weeks ago and now can't get this song outta my head. She has crawled inside, set up camp, rearranged the furniture and poured gas on it and set it ablaze. I couldn't be happier....
Russell Vigen you just described Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz. or Ritzy Bryan of Joy Formidable, Liz Phair, Juliana Hatfield, annie Hardy of Giant drag....hum i could go on for ever....kim dea. so many hot, smart rockin chickies. this is great.
As one who's loved great rock and roll for a long, LONG time, I have to say--this chick is phenomenal. After reading just the comments on this page (not reading any of the others), I'm surprised no one else has compared her with Chrissie Hynde. The first thing I thought when I heard this song for the first time on KCRW out of Santa Monica. Chrissie's not out of the scene yet, but Courtney is definitely "picking up where Chrissie's leaving off." In fact, I can't help wondering not only if Courtney's a fan of Chrissie, but how cool it would be if they got onstage and performed together. At any rate, she's talented, she's energetic, as someone else pointed out she can pen a great lyric....if the music industry doesn't end up ruining her or burning her out, I'd say she she's got a long and VERY happy future ahead of her. Rock on, sweetie.
Yep, concur with all the positive comments. Fresh, honest, passionate, just a damn great piece of RnR, beautifully capped off by the casual pull from a beer can at the end. All 3 mesh very well + kudos to the soundman. Excellent post. THANKS!
I've been hearing her on Sirius radio a lot lately and just Love her. Falls right in with my other female loves....PJ Harvey, Patti Smith and Lana Del Ray
Nothing sexier than a girl rocker with a set balls. Courtney's performance reminds me of the line from Almost Famous where Lester Bangs said "Jim Morrison! He's a drunken buffoon posing as a poet. Give me the Guess Who, who have the courage to be drunken buffoons, which makes them poetic." Well, give me Courtney Barnett, as there's a version of thunderstruck I can actually listen to.
Cristián Opazo Yeah, but does she really? I'm not saying she's a bad performer, but I don't really get the comparison. Kurt did stuff like taking 5 minute long breaks to destroy the set and spit in the camera, while the song was still going. I just can't imagine Courtney doing that. I can't imagine Kurt playing Pedestrian at Best, I can't imagine Courtney playing tourette's. Courtney's still pretty good, though.
I'm 62, love rock, and Courtney is the real stuff.

My favorite version of this song. All the words are clear, it's strangely laid back and aggressive at the same time, and she is all over it.
She is a very interesting prospect, I love her lyrics. In a way she reminds me of Kurt Cobain and I dont know why, but she just does. Really digging her music. It's refreshing
Randothol H Craig Montgomery, that’s probably why.
+Randothol H Cobain less heroin, as it seems. Maybe she's the heroin ?
Can see what you done there.
+Randothol H I was thinking the same thing!
+Randothol H …and coincidentally Kurt Cobain was married to a woman called Courtney... and he hails from Barnet.
what an absolute gem this girl is
This never gets old . i come back here every so often, to recharge when i'm drained, and i always feel better after watching this . she's smart, cool, and she rocks.

Bruno Sbrancia Get back to me on that her next few albums.

+Josh Thomson Wow, no. Sorry, she's good but she ain't the next John Lennon, Patti Smith maybe, but sure as fuck not the next Lennon or McCartney.
"That was me trying to play thunderstruck without knowing the notes.. the intention was there.." Haha she's too good
She rocks! This is what music needs. Rock is NOT dead!!
This is fucking great.
why would you say that
How to get it done. Why wouldnt you say that?
That was sick 🔥🔥🔥

The Best thing to happen to rock and roll in a very very long time...she will not disappoint you.... exceptional
she's effortlessly cool, i wanna be her if I ever grow up
power trio sound never disappoints
This girl is going to get very famous very fast.
she is already
Tomorrow will be rainy.
Sun Skaer Nobody is truly famous until they make it big in America. She's definitely on her way.
Ryan Eastwick It isn't about that.
plasticvideo - pfffffffffffffffff- what a bunch of bs- she will make it with or with America-
One of the highlights of 2010-2020 in rock music, this tune.
Great Lyrics, Great band, and a sexy lefty. Triple threat and a class act.
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen!
dustin blunt Shes good lookin too!
Russell Vigen I 100% agree.
intelligent and a beauty, a very rare combination.
sarcastic too

Man, I cannot get enough of this woman. So good! I sure hope she is around for a long time, I will buy anything she puts out.
if * influential old rockstar * and * influential old rockstar * had a baby it would be her holy shit
Patti Smith and Kurt Cobain is what your looking for
Nice profile pic
Mr. and Mrs. Barnett had a baby and it was her
Spot on, how did you know that * influential old rockstar * was exactly who I was also thinking of, WHOA!
All that music from a three-piece band. Unbelievably great.
Really nice to hear some great new music:)
I'm not sure why, but I'm in love with the way she says "you".
can't wait to see her and her band live.. it's a must
God what a phenomenal song.
One of the best music videos of the decade
i love courtney barnett. punk rock rules again
The corus part of this song is just purely brilliant!
Great song, great lyrics, great voice and great hair!
She is KILLER! Love it baby!
I can`t stop listen to this song.
This girl is amazin
first time i heard this I didn't really like it, but it has really grown on me. i like the attitude.
Her album's amazing. She's fantastic
She has absorbed Mr. Cobain long ago, and thankfully she brings the same sincere voice, a voice of her
own generation!
I've been hearing her on Sirius radio a lot lately and just Love her. Falls right in with my other female loves....PJ Harvey, Patti Smith and Lana Del Ray
LOL so cool huh Christine
She is literally everything I want to be when I grow up. I mine years late but it's fiiiiinne
i wonder how good she is at origami
give her all your money and she'll show you
i think you joke, but i don't find you very funny.
@MMM CINNAMON!!! then don't put him on a pedestal; he'll only disappoint you
Cringe
Also I wonder how the hell you make origami out of a rectangle?
QUE PANCADAAAAAAA! Não me canso de escutar
Vdd música incrível
Still fresh as it was the day made! Real rock.
LOVE this song. It's simultaneously sparse and rich.
This is what a supremely talented future megastar looks and sounds like. If she doesn't become a household name then I've lost all faith in humanity.
pearljammer13 my thoughts exactly. She fills my dried up brain with joy
Have you lost it?
@@edgarjovaca Yep for many reasons, this being one.
Excelente banda, saludos desde Chile🇨🇱
The return of Grunge.
+Massimo Marzetti The return of Punk, not grunge.
+Beach Mouse nah mate grunge
+TheChucky5600 both are vaild, Nrivana was a grunge band with huge punk influences
+Massimo Marzetti Oh lord that stupid term invented to sell a style
Prill Jazz America Calm down gramps, don't be made because use grasshoppers are getting into music other than the shit on radio stations.
Courtney you rock!
listen to this song almost once a day
so fresh so clean !
Fantastic! She's the coolest
♡
Absolutely fantastic.
Seeing her in December... Can't wait!!!
I love that girl sooooo much ❤❤
Man, I love that chorus. Just raw badass-ery.
What a fucking legend, this tune is so killer
one of my fave songs evveerrrr
She's such a beast
Pure gold !!!! 💕
brilliance in a bottle!
Kurt is back!
Met the band outside NicenSleazy Glasgow and they are as down to earth and cool as they come across.
She has an unique sound but in a small way she also reminds me of Adam Green... and this is a compliment! Love her!
This is has a certain Grunge sound to it. Awesome track!
Just discovering this and holy shit! My new favorite
I love you Courtney Barnett
Love this song
What a good song. I especially like the rambling verse format.
love grunge nirvana feel! Love
NIrvanaaaaa!!
So proud of having people with the strong feeling from 90's and before, that give some hope
She is soo nice!!
Love her
How perfect
that was kick ass rocker , damn !
BANGER!!!
Increíble, simplemente fantástico, monumental.
Obsessed with when she says your head
I love you Courtney Barnett
Craig Montgomery is a god
Whoa 😮 pretty freakin wicked.
Have you heard of Courtney Barnett? This Australian singer songwriter is pretty good- Indie Pop!
Courtney is a shinning lovely woman.
Yay!
So cool. Thanks, Jonah Raydio.
WOW!
Awesome stuff!
Fucking brilliant,...... Bout time
Shit I'm 5years late
So rad
Fun fact: Dylan and Cobain had a secret baby
+Erik Bateson is there supposed to be a comma between the last 2 words?
+Erik Bateson Seriously, she's like Karen Carpenter meets grunge. Nevertheless, the lady can pen a lyric.
+Casin Whitehead Nah, a coma
me loves me some Courtney Barnett
I can't stop listening to this. I just fucking can't!
Generational talent.
My playlist. YLT, C. Barrett, kurt Vile. The Cure. Jonathan Wilson. Jonh Prine. Bonnie prince Billy etc...
Brilliant and the studio version has some neat little guitar fills.
This is great stuff !

Lefty guitarists unite!!!
Some proper, real music for a change.
Did Courtney just crack a beer? She's so fucking rad. Loved her performance
Proof that girls understood Kurt better than guys.
Never heard that narrative before. Huh.
Well, now you have, buddy. This young woman embodies the spirit of Kurt like no one else --and she's not even tryin'.
Cristián Opazo Yeah, but does she really? I'm not saying she's a bad performer, but I don't really get the comparison. Kurt did stuff like taking 5 minute long breaks to destroy the set and spit in the camera, while the song was still going. I just can't imagine Courtney doing that. I can't imagine Kurt playing Pedestrian at Best, I can't imagine Courtney playing tourette's. Courtney's still pretty good, though.
Wolf Alice mate, Wolf Alice.
***** I guess, but it might just be alt rock in general. Courtney just seems gentler than Kurt. It's not like she's reserving herself though.
