The Kills - Satellite (Live In Session, Radio 1) 

this band has dominated my life lately. they encompass everything i love about life and creativity from every angle. the freedom, the openness, the camaraderie, the pushing of envelopes. jamie had completely inspired my own guitar/song writing in a way that few have. i just love their aesthetic. i love everything this band represents and stands for. some may call it "pretentious" but i disagree. in this day and age, anything honest and heartfelt is labeled pretentious. whatever. i love this band

why is Alison so freaking cool?!?! Ugh. Love them so much.

Jamie's coolness/badassness and Allison's beauty is what captivates to listen to this band. It's just perfect.

Agreed. Jamie's incredible. And sweet and adorable.

You're absolutely right, he (/they) create(s) such a 'full' sound with so little tools, with this song as one of the best examples.

why doesn't hotel get more recognition as a song writer and guitarist he composes all that himself he gets amazingly full tones out of those cheap sixties guitars with their cheap single coils( i know i have a few myself) and writes songs often around a single static beat. This songs a good example he kept me interested for 4 minutes and the beat remained the same through out yet the song didn't lack depth. That's no easy task.

Not to mention one of the nicest guys I have met.

They sound just like the album song!!!! amazing!!! a few bands can do that!

I cant even express how much I love this band---it lasts for years and will last till my dying days.. VV + Hotel forever

Just getting into this band and I must say that this album is incredible!

@Slidebluesslide no, actually he used D tuning here, and dropped the 6th string down to C

I haven't many the these guys' songs, but this is easily my favourite. It's amazing in so many ways, literally everything about it, every single sound is necessary and makes the piece more complete

@LuisEstrada326 Because I know how to play this song. And if you look carefully on how he plays it, his hand goes all the way to the 7th fret, which is G in D tuning (dropped C). And he used a POG (Polyphonic Octave Generator), and delay to get this sound.

SIMPLEMENTE....CHINGONSISIMO!!!!

oh fuck. I can't wait till I see them.

@MyNameIsAlexDavidude you're absolutely right about the tuning, i have noticed the change from drop B (of the first recordings), to drop C in the live presentations.

Just sweet guitar work......

SENSACIONAL!

@DamonRecordCo Yeah, i doubt that she's depressed or anxious. She's usually just really shy in interviews. And here i'm pretty sure she's just putting her heart into the song which is not exactly a "happy" song. If you see the "Future Starts Slow" live session from Radio 1 she seems perfectly fine. Regarding the fear of sunlight thing, she just hates the sun and playing at festivals - which really is not a big deal?

awesome live sound

No better artist than a tortured artist. I feel her pain.

@kakani13 I feel the same way. Never felt this way about a band before. Just love them.

@chikensee hofner 176. The top comment mentions it as "cheap 60's guitar", but I didn't know any better. I want one so bad.

💕❤ perfecta, ojala la token en Vaivén' 17

@DamonRecordCo IF YOU WATCH HER ON STAGE WITH THE DEAD WEATHER AS I DID AT THE ROUNDHOUSE SHE DIDN'T SEEM SHY OR ANXIOUS SHE PUT IN ONE AMAZING PERFORMANCE

I'd go gay and back again for these two playing this tune!

Fkn classic

14 de Septiembre en el Jose Cuervo !

@DaCocoNutMan Alison doesn't lack badassness either, you know.

@Slidebluesslide Tuning to B standard.

@MyNameIsAlexDavidude thx.

LA CHICA ES MUY SEXY

@2ndBestAllTime c l e v e r! ;)

I don't think ive ever seen alison in clothes that arent black

I love it but she looks so down

@DamonRecordCo I disagree, it's a moody song and no gets more into a song than Allison.
