  • Goddamn it Gabe, stop being so fucking incredible at the Drums. Seriously, EVERY Locust album I hear you keep getting better. Stop it. You're making everyone else look bad.

  • remember guys...this is a crappy quality live recording. you cant hear half the band.

    Good demo of drums and synth though, fucking amazing song

  • the drummer is not bad at all, pretty good in fact. the safety first, body last EP is the only good thing they've ever put out though, but thats just me.

  • I find no musical value in this whatsoever.

  • @jebrovah

    Then you haven't searced, or you do not know what musical value is...

  • @Petfal No, I really DO know what musical value is. I'm a musician. This could be played by somebody with severe downs syndrome. Granted the drummer is alright, the rest of them should not call themselves musicians. Listen to Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons or to Winter Madness by Wintersun. That's music. Then once you have heard real music and understand what something other than power chords and shitty yelling is, then listen to this again. You will find it is something quite different.

  • @jebrovah

    Well, that is music, too, but a very different kind. If you accuse music of being without value because of power chords and shitty yelling, there are so many bands that fit that description, there is no call for attacking one of the most experimental and compositional noiserock bands of our times. The Locust brings alot to the table that Vivaldi doesn't. Any true musician would be awed that playing this music is even possible. And do you have anything against people with Downs?

  • @jebrovah

    You should check out the japanese band Gerogerigegege and the "power chords" and shitty yelling of Arto Lindsay in my favourite no wave band DNA (the song Blonde Redhead can be recommended).

    I like music that anybody can do (they won't, though, because lot of people just CAN'T do that). Then listen to Locust again, and realize that no one can play this.

  • @jebrovah

    I think it is awesome that you are a musician, but you seem to have a bit narrow taste. I can appreciate the music you recommend, even though I must admit Locust gives me more.

  • @Petfal I listen to and play everything from Jack Johnson to Pink Floyd to The Cure to Necrophagist. My musical tastes certainly aren't narrow. Just this genre and dubstep I don't think I will ever fully be able to appreciate as art of any form haha. I'm open to any genre of music if I can just sit down and listen to the music without cringing like I do when I hear this. Vivaldi brought beautiful music to the table. I can't see a single thing that these guys brought. Sorry, I just can't stand it

  • @jebrovah

    All genres are good, except noiserock and dubstep? That is an honest opinion. I am glad the kids started listening to dubstep rather that R'n'B pop from the last decade. Haven't heard much of it, but it sounds interesting (at least in a kids context). Since you started the namesdropping train, what do you think of such composers as John Cage, Glenn Branca, Sun Ra and Arne Nordheim?

    Since these guys didn't bring anything to the table, that must mean you think everything was already...

  • @jebrovah

    ...there. Is there any bands that do the same thing with those crazy time signatures and rythms around? In my opinion, music is communication by conscious interaction between sound and time, and these guys are definitely communicating, fucking up the listener and doing unexpected twists and turns, that is, when you are done cringing on the floor like a baby because it is so loud and aggressive. Vivaldi, beautiful music, ok, fair enough, got that, but this is something else. I love it!

  • What are they KKK cadets??????

  • This is a load of Shit

  • Best troll band ever.

    

  • "this is a video response to drum solos joey jordison"

    HAHAHAHA

  • does anybody have the sheet music to this?

  • Keyboardist has a huge bum-chin.

  • @SDPedroGomes your exactly right, controlled chaos is a perfect description. It makes no sense at the same time that it is ordered perfectly.. That's why I like acid so much, it's the same wAy, in my experiences at least

  • The locusts music is genius. People who don't get it are too close minded. Even I barely get it. All I know is that it takes a genius to put together a piece of music with so many rhythms, tempo changes, intricacies, etc.. It's amazing, makes me poop my pants.

  • WTF? this isn't music

  • @metalman664 Takes time to digest, but its music when you understand it. Its fucking complicated, took me years to get into it. now i dont turn back. bwahahahahaha

  • @metalman664 You're right, it's something far beyond what mere 'music' could ever hope to be.

  • video suggestions: "joey jordison drum solo"????? what the fuck?

    serbian owns joey!!!

  • Comment removed

  • it really takes skill to play your instrument fitting to this chaos

  • incredibley precise

  • i think the drummer is GOD. seriously.

  • gabe is hittin those cymbals fucking hard!!!

  • Amazing footage. The Locust are so brutal, especially live. I gotta go see them the next time they play in NY.

  • jesus what a fucking ridiculous drummer

  • @OfficerMcGroist Gabe makes the drums his bitch.

  • Whats the difference between a retarded mental, fucking crazy man eating cat/man and The LOCUST :) ???

    NONE!!!! FUCK YOU LOCUST

  • @SxyBeast360

    um, you made a mistake...for some reason you wrote 'the locust' instead of your name...which is ciaran or some shit lol

    you obviously can't handle the locust as they're too technically advanced for your brain to comprehend.

    just stick with wonderwall for the time being

  • wtf?

  • Great recording. Awesome band!

  • great drummer.... creative arrangement..

  • hahah, what a great video response.

  • this is by far my favourite live locust vid, fuckin total bug violence...bzzzz bzz bzzz

  • Holy Molar. . .check them out haha.

  • I'm new into the tocust music, but so far I'm quite impressed by what I've heard. The drummer is outstanding.

  • The Locust , one of the best bands of the world , AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

  • @ emblinex:

    i respect your opinion, but you sir, are an idiot.

  • I am a man who appreciates Dredg, Between the buried and Me, The Get up Kids, Good Charlotte, Jay Z, a tribe called quest, and Lamb of God.

    I fucking love the Locust.

  • You have Linkin Park in your favorites, faggot.

  • @LeaveDenbyAlone HAHHAAH  good one!

  • The amount of hate this band stirs up in people is outta control.

  • It's alright- I like The Locust, and I'm the smartest person on the internet.

    It is because of this that everyone must like The Locust, provided they accept my intelligent opinion.

    Thus, the argument is ended.

  • Lol. I have never agreed so hard in my life.

  • @cursedvanity Would you care to prove your intellectual capabality to us? Beyond the fact that you like The Locust.

  • Of course- I have read James Joyce's Ulysses in its entirety.

    One needs no other proof than this to discover that I am indeed the smartest person on the internet. It is obvious that my taste is impeccable.

  • @cursedvanity It is indeed impeccable (:

  • I wish i could thumbs up your comment one million times. You are the smartest person on the internet.

  • @cursedvanity

    would you kindly prove your incredible smartness?

  • @schteew it has already been proven.

  • I have just finished reading Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" and Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." At the same time. In the Basque language translations. Therefore, I am the smartest man on the interenet. But: I also like The Locust. So, a brain trust develops....

  • @lionOFjudah33 Anyone who hates the locust is a cunt!

  • Maybe some day you grow up and understand this music, before that day: shut up!! I LOVE Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop... even techno, and man, THIS IS MUSIC!!!!

  • great drummer. do the rest belong to him :)?

  • haha tight as a nuns cunt

  • One of the resons i like The Locust is cuz they are prolly the most unique sounding band so far.

    Plus thier drummer is so fuckin amazing along with the rest of the band members

    Oh

    And did i mention listing to these fools high on anything is a trip

  • Comment removed

  • there's nothing to get... you either like the sound waves or you don't. I like the locust because there sounds please me... thats about all I can do to help you "get" it

  • I like pancakes for diner. I can't explain why, I just do.

    I like to listen to the locust. I can't explain why, i just do.

    Its just taste.

  • respect drummer v fuck rest them allllllllllllllllll

    this is mentel sickness not something cool at all

  • i like this band, but i dont like the vocals ^^

  • At least the drummer is amazing.... lol

  • actualy very close to album version,so they got skill or its preaty simple musik

  • Fucking perfectly carried off.

  • The drummer is litteraly raping his kit at 1:35

    He is one skilled motherfucker

  • i wonder how the fuck these dudes make songs in the first place, do they use any song structure? haha

  • To those who actually think this is music - Music is defined as a composure of sound, or sounds, that create a melody.

    This is so fucking discord it could never be music. EVER.

    And for the asshole down at the bottom, AC/DC had a melody, Waltz has a melody, this? this has shit written all over it.

  • this is what we call mathcore, look it up

  • >Music is defined as a composure of sound, or sounds, that create a melody.

    Only to a tiny mind like yours. Some of us appreciate more than your simpleminded, saccharine, formula for music. Art is subjective. This music is brilliant so fuck off into the air. Music isn't all about melody you haf-wit. Go listen to the jonas brothers if you can't handle unusual concepts.

  • I apologize, I was drunk when I posted.

  • lol.. No worries. I can see how that could happen.

  • discordance can easily create melody as this band prove.

  • music could be more focused on rhythm rather than melody however, and rhythms can be asymmetrical while still being rhythmic. This is still music, if you think it isn't then you don't know what you're talking about, so quit acting like you do.

  • You're a fucking retard. Apparently you hadn't noticed what I posted at the bottom. And you're a little to confident in the fact that you think you know what you're talking about.

  • Ok, I'm a retard cause you were drunk when you posted, then later stated so in a post that I didn't notice.  You win buddy.

  • Haahaha yeah you really are! oh my god, if I'm drunk and can still type and read, and you're sober and can't notice that I posted honestly that I said I was drunk, then yes, you are a fucking retard, and I do win. End of story.

  • cool story star wars guy

  • this drummer is fucking amazing, I talked with him for about an hour about bullshit and got one of his sticks signed for me and shit, what an amazing show

  • microprocessor

  • my brain is bleeding

  • when i first heard this band like a year ago i didn't like them. [a friend reccomended them to me because i LOVE Dystopia] But they have really grown on me, you kind of just have to give them a chance. If you look up their lyrics you'll realize that in a way they're fucking geniuses.

  • 1:34-2:03

    YES.

  • AWESOME, the drummer is insane.  love these guys.

  • These dudes are great. Every other band that they have formed are great. I just got their 5" picture split with Jenny Piccolo. Fuck your opinions, you just don't get it.

  • lame wannabes fuck em

  • >lame wannabes fuck em

    Art is subjective. Your opinion is crap. The Locust are awesome.

  • @TheStrangeRanger Listen to some real shit dude!!!!!!!!!

    Get a fucking life!!!!!!! Art is maybe subjective and yes!!!! you may be a groupie of diz band...

    If they really wanna play some "real" music they'd wanna think twice about it.....

  • @Dharklionz You're dumber than hair. Go jerk off to the jonas brothers. That's your speed.

  • @TheStrangeRanger Jonas brothers are better than this fucking shit!!!!!!!

    LAME!!!!!!!! btw are you in love with anyone of the band?????......just curious!!!!!!!

    :|

  • @Dharklionz You love the jonas brothers so why don't you go watch their videos and leave the locust for those of us who have the intelligence to appreciate math rock. Fool! BTW - rap is shit! It's for clueless, uneducated children. Like you!

  • @TheStrangeRanger Appreciate your concern for me!!!!!!

  • @TheStrangeRanger Really appreciate your concern for me dude!!!!! BTW I really meant what I said before....Either you gotta get some influence from some real musicians Or LOCUST has to get some influences!!!!! Having your own kind of music is good!!! but having your own kind of music which people can listen to is better!!!!

  • @Dharklionz I like the locust, I think their sound is comparable to that of the Jonas Brothers, or at least their earlier work. This song also seems to have some elements reminiscent of Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus. Really great stuff.

  • fucking christ he's good!

  • Hmm fucking amaizing HAHUASHUASHUASHUASHUASHU LOCUST LOCUST HAASHUHUASHUAS !@#!@#$ !@#!@#!@#!@#!@#

  • Sh*t Sandwich without the bread!

  • someone clearly knows nothing about music. moron. lmmmmmmao

  • Care to back up that claim you snot nosed punk?

  • @jamesneustaedter

    apparently you don't either if you like this band.. this isn't music.

  • "This isn't music", a much used phrase... In the late 19th century, people used to use it about... waltz. I remember in the early 1980s most people (say 99%) used to say hat AC/DC was no music when I listened to it.

    Peachygirl, open up your mind! Say you don't like it, or that you loathe it, but never say "this isn't music"

    With love

  • >this isn't music.

    It's not music for a peachy girl. It's music for ppl who appreciate art that isn't all saccharine, candy-ass crap. If you don't like it don't listen to it. Your opinion is useless.

  • um wut?

  • ha after i saw them in cleveland with daughters i couldn't hear for like a week

  • and for some reason i always think of bomberman when i hear this song

  • dude the locust is definitely not for everybody. but for people like me who enjoy technicality and experimental music this is some of the most chaotic and incredible stuff out there.

  • its all in the instrumentation..thats why its awesome..lyrics really dont matter with this kinda music...to me at least

  • lamer.

  • hahaha

  • You have to be a dipshit to at least not admit that the drummer has talent. Actually it's obvious that the band as a whole is talented they just use their talents in unconventional ways. I bet this song is a lot harder to play then most of the stuff you listen to. You are entitled to your opinion and you can say dislike and like the music you want, but you can't call these dudes untalented.

  • said someone who is 15 xD

  • Didn't their drummer used to play guitar for them?

  • Yep...the first full length Gabe played drums on was Plague Soundscapes.

  • Dave Grohl eat your heart out

  • Haha, exactly.

  • Comment removed

  • why is that, fgt?

  • spazz-core at it's best chyeaaaaaa a 2 track cd

  • this blows my ass

  • 1:53 drums. cool

  • mmmmmmmm sound.

  • i love the locust. but i have two words for people that already dont know......melt banana.

    then kill yourself.

  • The Locust and Melt-Banana own

  • 0:46 the drumming is sick !!

  • The Locust is musically schizophrenia....

    love it!

  • he still doesnt know how to use a moog

  • these guys are fuckin SICK!

    i love it!

  • Wow

    Never heard sumthin like this before

    But it got me immediately

    Very interesting music

    Whats the genre called?

    Fucking awesome atmosphere!! And whats the name of the band?

    Thx for responses

  • the locust.

    genre: whatever you want it to be called. they've been called about every useless name in the book. be imaginative.

  • how 'bout: "music to be played at 11 to piss off your hungover friend."

  • probably the most talented group of people i have ever seen. name me anyone more talented!

  • I think they're pretty equal to Behold... The Arctopus.

  • your a fucking idiot. i was being sarcastic. they are ridiculous; they shouldnt even be called a band and what they play should not be called music. behold the arctopus has way more talent but they are both way to disorganized

  • You're stupid. Just because your to slow to understand dosen't mean everybody is.

  • Comment removed

  • They obviously have tours and many fans .

    YOUR AN DUMBASS.

  • Disorganization and chaos is the point of this kind of music.

    In terms of complexity, I'd rate them both the same. Each band just utulizes it in different ways. The Locust is obviously more punk and grind influenced while Behold is more progressive metal influenced. I wouldn't say you are too slow to understand, you just don't like really noisy, chaotic and dissonant music, which I can understand.

  • this band has a message behind this way of being disorganized and sounding like that

  • CHECK OUT MY LOCUST DRUM COVERS! thanksh!

  • kay but their new songs are mathcore.... in my opinion deathcore is better... but everyone has a different taste of music... maybe the old songs are punk... k but i know a lot... i just didn´t listen to old/original songs..

  • ps: the drummer´s great

  • amen

  • i wish they would do a live dvd, i kn ow its not very punk rock but it be awesome

  • punk loooooooooool

    mathcore

    but locus sucks

  • you know nothing. lol mathcore. you should prolly listen to their original music, which was completly punk with some grind on the side.

  • wasn't their first album powerviolence, with grind?

  • "but locus sucks"

  • Man i dun understand how this is music

  • Then you don't understand music at all!!! At best you can understand sound exploited at commercial needs, like in supermainstream pop, but that is really a pretty darn narrow definition of "music".

  • FUCKING RIGHT ON

  • the locust is such an incredible band. i know a lot of people give them shit cuz their music isn't very accessible but i admire and respect these guys. their timing signatures are insane! i'm really glad this focuses a lot on the drummer cuz he is really the one with the most talent. this is hard, technical, and intense stuff to play.

  • lol i dont get it... is this suppose to sound good? are we all just lieing to our selves now, or did i miss out when half the world started tripping out on acid?

  • You did miss out on that, because it happened like 40 years ago.

  • Sikko

  • holy shit.

    did NOT see that coming.

  • You can criticize it, but don't make fun of it.

    Like "I don't like this music because it's too weird." but don't say things about the person who likes it.

  • Why don't people ever realize that everyone is different and we all like different things? If you don't like this, that's great. I like that you're doing something different, but I like this, so please don't make fun of it. I don't make fun of anything you like because that's just inappropriate.

  • it would be nuts if these guys grabbed some green man costume from hellogreenman(DOT)com and took those out on stage

  • shity, repost the song uncut!

  • weird ass fucking noises but damn i cant get enough of the drummer!

  • this is what the devil will sound like... this is beyond music. this is what makes my teachers vomit and my friends to walk away, this is the noise that drives cops away, this is morning music, this is shadow of poetry, this is the locust ten feet up your ass, let it ride.

  • yeah this band is so underrated, ppl just cant understand it, this is the future of music

  • this is pure torture. someone end the misery.

  • No doubt.
