NO,no,no,no, the studio version is at the perfect tempo. The LIVE tempo is good for getting a crowd whipped into a frenzy though. The studio version is menacing and humorous at the same time. Their singer is very threatening when he looks over his sunnies much longer than was necessary.
original tempo is probably better for the studio version because the lyrical humor comes through a lot better. The live version is great in this setting though-- energy turned to 11
Someones gonna have to explain how 3 days ago i hadn’t heard this song or of the band. I saw wet leg do a cover, justin hawkins dissecting it and saw a poster for their new album today. Feels like the truman show
To be the bassist *and* also the lead singer is actually quite impressive. They're both rhythmically opposites. A lot of people would call this kind of music "noise", but the setup of The Chats is actually insanely impressive.
Yes, of the trillions of great songs ever recorded in history, "Smoko" is near the top of the list. Great music and hilarious lyrics. Big shout out goes to DEAD KENNEDYS for their influence on The Chats and thousands of other Rock Bands.
When we use a forensic psychological approach in regards to the notion of 'smoko' we may very well conclude that the song is a death throw lament for those halcyon days, when for many , the entirety of the day was in fact 'smoko'. Lumbering 'ne're do wells' like myself, menu planned the whole day around 'smoko' . Clocking on with a heavily sauced bacon and egg roll. Morning tea, buttered iced sticky bun. Luncheon , a 'dog's eye' , also heavily sauced. A cardboard cup of hot chips covered in 'dead horse' for arvo tea and then evacuate the work site at the declaration of 'pub now' ! Now 'smoko' has been reduced to 20 minutes on an upturned milk crate and brave is the soul that pokes that bear. The spitting scowling lyric " Im on smoko , so leave me alone" is inextricably linked to the undeniable and historic truth that everything can be best achieved when nothing is done at all.
Daaaamn I loved this song when it came out and was so happy to see it kind of common on my tiktok fyp so it had to have had some sort of blow up on there, so deserved these dudes fucking slay and I love how much faster and aggressively they play this live, absolutely crushed it!

Yeah, his Guitar Solo was very good. I was pleasantly surprised. We need Bands like this. Punk is an honest artform. Sex Pistols changed the World for the better.
The singer/bassist is so talented that he is also in the crowd watching himself at around 1:12!
Holy
lmao Eamon is literally on smoko, to watch himself perform
@@JohnWiIkesBooth Action packed smoko; "I'm on gear carnt, so leave me alone!"
LOL
Btw his name is eamon sandwith
1:10 He's on stage and in the audience at the same time. Truly an incredible performance.
That's his twin brother who was supposed to be in the band too, but he's been on Smoko since 2011
@@charleybarley914 just leave him alone.
Look closely…he’s also the guitar tech, camera operator and the groupie waiting backstage. A true DIY lead man.
did you not know. He also starred in all the harry potter movies. Just all around talented
When you wanna go on a smoko but you gotta play a song for a big ass crowd first.
That explains why he turned it into a speed metal song!
@@PsychoMetalKidthat’s the joke mate
Man, leave them alone!
every aussie knows how important it is to respect the holy SMOKO!
So much faster and louder live - fucking top class lads.
Probably sick of playing it at this point, so more fun to do it x2 speed.
When they played electric brixton every song was played with such power and speed i had no idea what we were moshing too
900% u a brit
that's how live shows work mate.
Who ever did the sound engineering for this needs an award or a trophy.. Absolutely PERFECT.
Truth but to be fair they're not exactly running the most complex setup haha
@@MH-th5yc True but a sound engineer can still fuck up pretty badly with just this amount of gear lol
It takes no effort to make a shit band sound shit.
agreed, god damn 9 out of 10 mix engineers can't even fucking turn up a kick drum
@@chrismathewsjr Legit!
Saw them supporting Queens of the Stone Age last week, they were brilliant!
each time i hear them play this song it gets shorter and shorter lmao
(edit) why are people still liking this comment over a year later lol
Can you blame them? They’re on Smoko
@@thisismyCoolFace if you're on smoko then you're gonna want to draw it out as long as possible
It’s cos they’re probably sick of it
Or faster?
Yep, they need to stop playing for SMOKO !!!!! Lol 😁😁😁😁
Man it makes me so happy to see these guys playing on stages this big
I’m 52 years old and these lads have my attention.This is fucking how it’s done!
Jaja ugyanígy velem is ez van.40+ vagyok de nem gondoltam volna,hogy lesz még punk zene amire felfigyeltek 👍😎
52 and begging for likes on youtube 😄 🤣
You have to understand the level of genius of this group. They are home with the cheque before anyone.
That bass sounds insane
I can’t stop watching
Saw these guys in a 75 person club with an extra 50 kids who snuck in! It was EPIC they were totally nice guys too got my vinyl signed.
Smoked a bowl with these dudes in tx
the ENERGY!!!! wish they recorded the original at this tempo
NO,no,no,no, the studio version is at the perfect tempo.

Nah the original tempo is better

i love how much australia loves this band
when your boss cuts your smoko in half
Someones gonna have to explain how 3 days ago i hadn’t heard this song or of the band. I saw wet leg do a cover, justin hawkins dissecting it and saw a poster for their new album today. Feels like the truman show
The justin hawkins video is what bought me to them. Now bloosy love a lot of there songs
@@scottking869 someone in work explained “its a tiktok thing”
It was cool to see his younger self in the crowd
1st time hearing these guys!! Much love from Eastern NC, 🇺🇸

It's on the nose but I think that's intentional. All I know is whatever punk is, these fuckers have it in abundance.
Not for punk music tho where the bass and guitar are rhythmically same
1:11 Nice to see Eamon's twin brother enjoying the show!
A band I've never heard of playing to a giant festival audience who are all singing along...I gotta get out more!
yes you must, also check out :
1) IDLES &
2) Viagra Boys.
@@johnedwardkerr7814 Also Ed Sheeran, the current king of punk
Also, Amyl and the Sniffers
@@EclecticoIconoclasta you simply woke up and chose chaos, and I love it!😅
Choose Ethel Cain...yer know it mecks sense.
Im glad this band is finally getting really popular! PUNK ISNT DEAD!
Drummers on another level
One of the all time greatest songs in the world

Bravo 👏
seems more to me like simply wanting “the man” to leave you alone, but to each his own 😅
ah am an old man now, see the pit and it makes me jump around still. Fuck yeah!
Absolutely love punk music, this is fantastic.
the crowd for this song in brixton was insane
These three guys were born to punk rock, its written in their DNA.
It’s awesome watching that music video when it was released and after all this time they are here slaying a crowd that big. I hope they keep winning.
What a rush it must be hearing your song screamed out by thousands!
He gives er live. Love from Canada!
Aussie Legends in the making ... up there with ACDC and Jimmy Barnes for real Aussie energy
If you put 0.75 speed you can hear original speed of the song
No thanks, the song is finally perfect
Hah hilarious it's so close
1.25 is truly siiiiick!!!!
@@dalekay9ine hellyeah
Holy hell that actually works hahah
Old punk fan here. These guys fucking kill it every time. Looks like so much damn fun!!
Most important guitarist in Australia right now.
Thanks Justin!
That was so awesome!!!
That solo was so sick
The song is finally perfect
Daaaamn I loved this song when it came out and was so happy to see it kind of common on my tiktok fyp so it had to have had some sort of blow up on there, so deserved these dudes fucking slay and I love how much faster and aggressively they play this live, absolutely crushed it!
Great in so many ways! Had been about to loose all faith in music until I heard these guys for the first time 6 months ago.
Cracking tune 🤟
Last time I saw a guitarist so constantly munted it was Keith Richards on the 1973 World Tour. Good job lad.
Awesome!
Gotta love that❤
SO DAMN GOOD!
Honestly, people who complain that there is no good music around anymore have no idea what they are talking about 👍
The crowd screaming with him is what music is all about!
It's like the Cosmic Psychos jumped into a time machine! love it!
Fuck yeah the Cosmic Psychos!
Awesome
Pure awesome
Turning this up to 100mph was a genius move. Long live Boganism.
Ich liebe diese Jungs!
I was wondering how it was going to come across live. The pick me up on this was well done 👍🏻
the song we all need
Let’s go!
I'm gonna go watch this again right after I stop typin👌
Legends
It warms my heart that punk rock is not dead yet
Best day!!!! Splendour definitely pulled it all together day 2 ❤️❤️
At 1:12, proof that Eamon has brought the *ginger mullet* to the foreground of fashion coolness.
That riff at 1:16 doesn't get enough credit 👌🏼
juicey as fokk
My favorite part of the song 🤘🏼
probably cos its easy...
@@seankinnane12 easy, yes - but sounds damn good, the difficulty isn't the point. 👌🏼
@@adamtwd88 fits the song well but the sound is your basic JCM 800 with rat distortion pedal Adam
Love it, thanks for sharing!
Their drummer is frickin COOKIN on those hi hats good lord
I feel like every time I hear this song, it's played faster lol. What a bop!
the original just isn’t the same anymore it needs to be at this speed permanently!
Yeah boys. Get it!!! Up the Chats!
Got my tickets for one of their shows on this tour!!
The second coming of the Ramones!!!!
Ya don’t get more Aussie than this! Yeeeeeeeew👍❤️

Fucking brilliant.
Yay speedy, really cool 🤘
Let’s SMOK-GO
I have a dream the come to the USA. Please. My favorite punk band since The Plugs.
The natural distortion in his vocals is absolutely awesome!
A song that clearly defines the Beauty and Decline of the Australian culture.
This is punk…. Re-personified.
Fantastic
Classic
Just discovered these lads. Nice breath of fresh punk air in this auto tuned world we are in.
hell yeah hahahah
My favourite teenage heroes
As an Floridan, I feel Queenslanders are my closest kin in this world.
fuck they are sounding crisp as shit! awesome live version, these lads have come along
Didn’t know he was capable of a solo like that god damn
Yeah, his Guitar Solo was very good.
I was pleasantly surprised.
We need Bands like this.
Punk is an honest artform.
Sex Pistols changed the World for the better.
The Chats are great. Love Smoko and Pub Feed.
They're so fucking good, goddamn
If i told my boss in Indiana that i was on "smoko" during break, he would punch me in the face and call me gay.
