"So embarassed that I liked One Republic" haha :p

[lukeanthony]

as a guy studying to become an audio engineer, I can understand and appreciate what he was saying, I want more videos like this

[bwayinlan]

His view is completely cynical and I absolutely love it.

[paulwaymondo]

At last ! Someone who actually gave an honest opinion on the music without just being super nice and fake . High five for Patrick Carney.

[ChristinaGina]

This should be a constant series. AMAZING

[Davq_]

We aren't talking about The black keys, this guy has fucking great taste in music. In my opinion

[hrromanslaparsso]

This guy definitely has the musician personality.

[whitney]

Dude, he looks *ten years* older than his real age. You can tell he's lived a rough-and-tumble life.

[lex.cordis]

What he said at 1:52 fucking killed me. I gotta hand it to ya Pat, you's a funny cat.

[mattquigley]

LMAO_ Not sure what I like more, his music or his Vice News shorts....hilarious and spot on.

[Vynzent]

It's too damn funny how butthurt everyone got in the comments.

This is why you gotta fucking love Pat Carney.

[skwaaaaa]

Thought that was Rory McElroy with a hangover at first

[NickMichalak]

That was sweet! I'd watch Patrick do this once a week.

Is that they're only Kylie Jenners watching this video or what? he has a more fine vintage kind of music taste. All the good things as: jazz, r&b, country and specially... blues. Obviously he was going to say those things about the crappy artificially overproduced music nowdays. One Republic is one of the most comercial bands indeed. The beggining of the song was ok bcz it was a nice acoustic pattern of chords and that's why he though it wasn't that bad, but it sounded too produced. The one from Norah Jones is a nice jazzy and soft melody but maybe was a bit plane and simple for him. Some people just don't like Metal. The final one... "Perfect illusion"... that riff sounds super robotic like if it was made actually by using the guitar samples that come with fl studio by default...definitely superproduced...besides has that 80´s pop madonna vibe all over it... how could you think Pat was going to enjoy that?

[Jedipwntrick]

Lol at some of these comments. Anyone who knows who he is has mad respect for him

[Guggz]

His face when he listens to Testament is priceless.

[noelgarland]

OMG finally some contemporary rock star that doesn't force himself to be politically correct THANKS, it's so a annoying bc it's like nowadays you can't even say katy parry etc is shit bc

[redsfavorite]

Love ❤️ Him he's hilarious just so happy when he's on

[nons]

Hes a very sincere man or a pretentious who just forgot that no one listens to BK anymore

[outplayer]
