almost 8 years later .. Didn't realise then the props that Rob deserves for doing that DnB beat on a damn Cahon. These boys have come such a long way. Shikari Fam forever
These guys are insanely talented - but especially big props to Rou for being so proficient on acoustic guitar - despite rarely ever playing it live or on recordings. Crazy talent and crazy dedication to the song.
Haha hear dat stutter at 4:05. They did a really good job with this. It sounds like they were struggling to get through it but they really pulled it off.
There is a video of one of their tours where they play "drunken Juggernauts jam" on the piano, it's Rou and Rory playing all the synth stuff on piano... apart from the dubstep bits they do in their songs, there is no doubt in my mind that they can play every song they've ever written as acoustic without even thinking about it :)
i love the other faces at the start when rou mentions he is gonna play system meltdown, their faces seem like they say..."dayummmm why the fuck you make us play this! we never done this before acoustically!"
You'd be surprised, when they write music, I guarantee it starts with the boys jamming riffs and lyrics on acoustics, and THEN they go into the studio and put the distortion/electronics on. It doesn't happen the other way round :)

I was waiting for Rou to bust out the FUCK ALL BORDERS FUCK ALL BOUNDARIES FUCK ALL FLAGS AND FUCK NATIONALITIES lol but i guess too vulgar?
top notch foot tambourine acoustic dubstep breakdown yum
You can't label Enter Shikari a "hardcore band" or a "electro-rock band". They're too different. They're Enter Shikari! :)
still not metallica, but best for now

The amount of effort Rou puts into to his guitar playing really shows how much they love what they do.
Bravo guys this is awesome
And on this day the massive amount of respect I had for this band grew greater than I could of ever imagined.

wish there was a high quality version - but thanks for the upload
it's great how they change such a hard song into an acoustic song. wonderful.

the more I hear this version the more I prefer it. such an amazing version!
Unbelievable how they turned that song into a great acoustic song! :))
Incredible how easily they can do the acoustic version of everything
one of my favourite acoustic ones...
I love the way Rob has a tamborine taped to his foot!
Just met these guys the other night. Pleasant as hell. Ambush Reality.

I need to know the tabs, fkng love Enter Shikari. Do me a favour mades :))

They are just so good. nearly speechless
Enter Shikari are the most amazing live band, ever.
when he whispers "meltdown"
4:45 - hell yeah.
I just love them.
I love this band so much!! They're so talented and amazing :D I love all the NME Video's, especially their Call Me Maybe cover :)
I love them so much I would crowd surf even to the acoustic version. ._.
This proves they aren't "just another metalcore band"
Gonna be late for work cause I watched this, so worth it

Is There Any Way You Could Link Said Video? Definitely Interested In Seeing That! 😂
At @2:05 I started to headbang even worse than always , they're amazing!
This is beyond perfect.
I like how Rob is just chillin
this is so beautiful
Please record this with studio quality!
this is bloody fantastic
Wow I didn't think this song could actually work acoustic, but apparently it does when well played like this!
I just look at them and need to smile. :)
its like they're story telling, fuck they're so fucking amazing!
Very talented - as always! :)
the most motivational lyrics ever.
goosebumps right here !!!
Really awesome!!
Awesomeness.
What happened to all the borders and boundaries? Or,all the flags and the nationalities?
He probably didn't wanna shout "F***" in the NME offices lol although I agree, its a very important part of the song xD
i love the other faces at the start when rou mentions he is gonna play system meltdown, their faces seem like they say..."dayummmm why the fuck you make us play this! we never done this before acoustically!"
So good!!!
Acoustic dubstep
searching for this tab
These guys are fucking brilliant
Awesome !!!
0:59 dat glance. even his bandmates are in love with rou! haha
Is there anywhere where this acoustic versions can be bought/download?
this is nothing but brilliant.
Hey man, is there a way you can send me the stalemate video you had from this session?
can somebody tell Rou that a guitar has nothing in comment with drums!?
just jokin' THIS IS WHAT I CALL: BEING A GOOD MUSICIAN!!!!!!!!!
Dat acoustic breakdown!
Enter Shikari Unpluggeddddd.. Want~
I think it gave it a bit of flavour :)
Badass!
rou just.. wow
true but some songs are written with amps and distortion already but there really rare
Rou's attempt at the cup song on his guitar :P
headbanging!
Chris the best!
Fucking talent overflow man
Nope, there's vids of them in the studio, they just mess about with all their equipment haha :)
Я почти уверен, что оттуда же есть песня juggernauts и я её смотрел, но сейчас не могу найти этого видео.Может есть у кого?
They give mewithoutyou a run for their money... and that says a lot.
TABS DEAR GOD TABS!
Tabs to this acoustic version????
they really need to make an acoustic ep or somthin
Where's the pit for the meltdown??
Wow. This is fucking good!!!
they probably weren't allowed to swear on the show. But that part is fucking sick!
I'm gonna unlike this, just to like it again! BRILLIANT!
1:10 :DDD best band
Their Voices...
Wish I could play guitar as well as roughton reynolds
Nah they dont, theres vids of them in the studio :) For them acoustic is probably a bitch to prepare xD
I Miss Rou's Emo Fringe Hair xD
I agree, the "fuck all..." part has been missing. But,its awsome anyways :-)
Music skill lvl : enter shikari like :D
So awkward at the end! Lol
maybe they create original songs first on Acoustics, then make arrangements??
You'd be surprised, when they write music, I guarantee it starts with the boys jamming riffs and lyrics on acoustics, and THEN they go into the studio and put the distortion/electronics on. It doesn't happen the other way round :)
I would do so, but the quality will be awfull at its best. I guess it's better than nothing
Like every musician should be able to. Too bad real musicians became pretty rare nowadays.
the percussion kinda ruins it he shouldve sat out
5:10 ... Awkward....
they're really not metalcore.........
That drummer looks bored out of his mind,,,
Beautiful.
