  • @bankaininjav2

    @Viwd

    It really doesn't matter because you're both making yourselves look like idiots.

  • cool vid man

  • the lead singer sounds like the leadsinger from karnivool

  • @rufnserious1 Ehhh I think they sound quite different actually.

  • HOW CAN ANYONE "DISLIKE" THIS??????

  • I thought this was supposed to be a joke at first.

  • I couldn't believe it when I saw this. One of my favorite bands, with a video directed by one of my favorite youtube video makers.

  • Don't typically like emo-whiney sounding songs, but the lead singer has an exceptional voice.

  • @Viwd what emo whining...? this isn't emo at all.

  • @bankaininjav2 Well, the lyrics are disposably superficial, akin to a lot of emo-whiney songs I've heard, with that same air of pretentiousness. Falsetto-voiced lead singers, backed by loud rock instrumentals are also akin to Emo-style music as well. That said, I commend the lead singer for his exceptional voice. A backhanded-compliment? Perhaps.

  • @Viwd do you even know what emo music sounds like? just cause lyrics don't have any meaning doesn't mean it's emo. lots of bands do that cause people put nonsensical meanings into songs anyway and emo singers don't use falsetto they use autotune to sound like they are 13. and their lyrics talk about girlfriends breaking up with them and wanting to die and shit like that with growling for singing.

  • @bankaininjav2 Actually, Jeremy Enigk of Sunny Day Real Estate, was a falsetto. Their music wasn't about girlfriends or cutting either, but it was emo. The growling you refer to, is probably "screamo". It's also hard to define what is truely an emo band, when the band refer to themselves as "progressive rock" or "punk", despite having a huge emo following. And when you call the band "emo", you get a pissed off fanboy response, like yours.

  • @Viwd lol how my comment projects a pissed off fanboy tone is beyond me. i don't listen to emo and i've only just heard of these guys so i would hardly consider myself a fanboy though i do want one of their shirts cause they look kickass. i'm just giving my opinion on the matter and maybe when you can actually state sensical opinions of your own without trying to come off as condescending, i might consider them somewhat relevant.

  • @bankaininjav2 You're the one who got their pants in a twist all because I used the term "emo" to define the band, even though I praised the singer's voice - and actually quite like the song. You may not be a fanboy, but you respond irrationally like one. If what I say isn't "relevant", perhaps you shouldn't of replied to me in the first place, or ever after.

  • @Viwd your persistent attempts to insist that i am mad at your comment only make you look mad. i just responded to your comment not because i was offended but because i was correcting you. using falsetto isn't an emo genre signature and just because one band uses it doesn't mean all other falsetto singers are emo. just because you praised the singer doesn't mean i can't tell you when you're wrong and doing so isn't "irrational". what's irration is pretending i'm mad after i corrected you.

  • @bankaininjav2 I never implied all falsetto bands are a signature of Emo, only that this particular song sounded Emo to me, and backed that arguement by stating falsetto singers are a trait of the Emo bands I've experienced, such as Sunny Day Real Estate and some others. And, you can take a Radiohead song and call it an Emo sounding song, despite the band not being an Emo band.

  • @Viwd using falsetto isn't emo though. it would just be a coincidence that they use falsetto because many non emo singers use falsetto. the correlation you've made is not valid.

  • @bankaininjav2 And I find it hypocritical of you to try and correct me of the Emo genre, when you described Emo music as people who "use autotune to sound like they are 13. and their lyrics talk about girlfriends breaking up with them and wanting to die". I don't like the genre either, but this is a gross exaggeration and a clear display of your "irrational" detest and ignorance of it

  • @Viwd first, learn what words mean. hypocritical would be me telling you not to do something then i do it too. i was simply giving you a better definition of the emo genre than you already had. second "irrational" means without reason or sense, something my countering arguments do not lack. thirdly and again i have to remind you that you are projecting incorrect notions about my comments. i never gave any indication that i find the emo genre detestable nor do i agree with such.

  • @bankaininjav2 Yes, because "they use autotune to sound like they are 13. and their lyrics talk about girlfriends breaking up with them and wanting to die and shit", is a much better definition - not offensive to bands and or fans of that genre at all! And you have the stupidity to state your counter-arguements lack reason or sense. Hilarious.

  • @Viwd when you can make an argument without trying to come off as condescending maybe then people would listen to you. it's something you really need to work on.

  • @bankaininjav2 And statements like: "something my countering arguments do not lack" and "it's something you really need to work on", aren't condescending at all... I suppose now you're going to explain what condescending means, as you did hypocrisy :)

  • @Viwd that's condescending either. the first example you used was building up my own argument and not targeting yours. the second one is constructive criticism. if you feel offended by it then maybe there are some other issues you need to cover as well, like insecurity maybe. please try to refrain from making comments that don't actually provide any input and are just their for wordly aesthetics. it can help you greatly.

  • @bankaininjav2 Just read your last comment. If you don't think THAT was condescending, then I see no reason to continue this, as you've clearly lost the plot.

  • @Viwd condescending and constructive criticism aren't the same. my words can help you as is their intention, which is constructive criticism. whereas condescending serves no purpose other than to make ones self feel better by cutting down your antagonist.

  • @bankaininjav2 I'm starting to think you have a complex against people who use grammar or something, because you really haven't addressed how I was behaving condescending, you've simply thrown it out there. You've gone from someone with a belligerent desire to "correct me", to now trying to belittle me, with a faux pretense of helping me by constructive criticism. You sir, have lost the plot.

  • @Viwd it's fairly obvious how you were trying to be condescending. look at your previous comments attempting to brush off my opinions as a "mad fanboy" rather than a valid argument and using insults towards my intelligence instead of factual evidence for your argument.

  • @bankaininjav2 I wasn't brushing off your comments by calling you a fanboy, merely stating that I would get that type of response for using the term "emo". I then successfully defended my side of the arguement, explaining why I used that term. And where I insulted your intelligence, I don't know. It's you who insult my intelligence by selectively ignoring my arguements. Depsite not agreeing with you, I at least read and respect what you have to say.

  • @Viwd go back and read through our posts. i never once insulted you yet you continually tried to call me stupid among other things.

  • @bankaininjav2 my face when i just recognized someone from the GD on youtube by their username.

    fuck

  • @ApplySomePressure54 huh? i don't know you sorry

  • @bankaininjav2 I know you don't know me

    but I know you go on the GD on gaia.

  • @ApplySomePressure54 i don't but ok

  • @Viwd Stop being an asshole. You are arguing with someone over the internet about the genre of a prog rock band because the singer has a high pitched voice. And, yes, this is a prog band. Here are some other prog bands whom have singers that have high pitched voices: The Mars Volta, Rush, Dream Theater

  • @BocajFreedman mars volta are awesome!

  • @Viwd This is what I'd consider to be true emo music.

    /watch?v=Yf6FOrG1wYA

    /watch?v=QtY3pMP8pzE

  • Fucking Mars Volta ripoffs. Previously known as ATLAS OF ID.

  • @FernandoDANTE Let's clarify a couple things here. First, since you're such a huge protector of your favorite man crushes, get the fucking name right, it's The Mars Volta. Second, your statement lacks any reality. I'll explain; true, there are two former members of the band Atlas of ID in this band, however, unless you have some unreleased The Mars Volta tracks that no one in the world has heard (I'm sure you do because you're "that cool") this sounds nothing like The Mars Volta.

  • @drinkodemayo the lead singer of THE MARS VOLTA revers to them as just "Volta". I think I'm allowed to remove the "The" for brevity.

  • @FernandoDANTE refers*

  • @FernandoDANTE I would hardly call them rip offs. There is influence there, but if bands didn't take influence from others then there would be no music about anymore. Love The Mars Volta, and love these guys. Exceptional song writing.

  • did these guys just take down an evil corporation with the power of their rocking?

  • mars volta rip off imo

  • Nice music! and nice video!

    

  • i cnt stop listen to this song ^^

  • OMFG I CANT BELIEVE THEY LISTEN TO C.O.N Toooooo :D my mind has been blown away!!!!!!!!!

  • it started out okay 'cause it sounded kinda nightwish-ey, then it went downhill REAL fast.

  • Ten seconds in, "liked." A minute and a half in, "subbed." Three minutes and forty seconds in, "added to favorites." Four minutes and eleven seconds in, "jizzed."

    Yeah, I really liked this..

  • I like the song but I think the issue I personally have with it is I can't understand half of the lyrics... its just difficult to make out the actual lyrics.

  • Why are there so little views!?

  • So this video is about the fall of an organization abusing their authoritative power?

  • The music sounds professional, but god it is just not my kind of music. Sounds so fucking gay

  • @StarlightDragon explain why please.

  • @ZergioG First, I don't see why I should. But since you said please and you made me listen to it twice, I am going to give you my reactions. The beginning, I like. It's a nice sound, fairly relaxed, kind of generic though, but still pretty good. I like the singing in the beginning. Around 0:39 I like it less, Meh, actually it's not that bad. I just don't like some parts where the lead singer sings.

  • OH WAIT, THIS IS WIN.

  • Fail.

  • I FUCKNIG LOVE YOU GUYS <333333 amazingggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggg

  • FUCKING AWESOME!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS MAN!!!! let me know when you guys tour here in NYC. I will be in the front.

  • I know of this band, it was very unpredictable to see Mega64 upload this haha

  • Nice band

    Excelent singer!!!

  • Those damn red mask agents in my fuckin' dream last night? They scared the hell out of me.

  • His dad got swag

  • I laughed more at this video than i did any other mega64 vid. Mainly when i saw roccos dad being driven by a chauffeur.

  • 2:57 = CHILLS

  • good job guys. i like the song

  • Great video and Great song!!!

  • rocco's dad is like a boss in this

  • @stuartfang

    Swag

  • @stuartfang Nice use of a simile

  • @stuartfang dude is that realy his dad

  • @stuartfang is that realy rocos dad is the suit

  • @stuartfang Are you implying that Rocco's dad isn't a boss in general?

  • The song was good up until that sudden ending. Too many songs do that these days, the ending just comes out of fucking nowhere. It's a VERY annoying trend.

  • this is so awesome. i love mega64 and ive never heard this band but now i like em

  • Shakespeare theater was funny as hellll!!!!!! they had 4 this time!

  • I actually liked it.

  • I liked Children of Nova for a while, no idea they were friends with mega64. Kick ass.

  • I personally like it, dont know why people are getting so mad about it?

  • i thought it was cool that mega64 can do stuff like this, but i didn't get it, are children of nova a band of rocking secret agents? still, it's nice that they did this, i seem to remember another serious project that mega64 attempted in the past which was never finished, despite being clearly very unpopular a serious side of mega64 is quite refreshing to see.

  • @Plexuz0 The Blacks was a joke.

  • @Plexuz0 Children of Nova, I believe, are a band in which Mega64's friends are in so friends do friends favours.

  • I agree that the video is a bit on the generic side, but I was excited when I saw that you guys were doing a video for Children Of Nova. I think you guys could definitely do well in this kind of thing but I don't know if this is your best. Interesting nonetheless!

  • I liked it

    

  • I love you guys, but this is pretty awful and generic, I'm sorry... it's just like something I would make in 7th grade if I had a 5d and knew how to use after effects.

  • @enuneko You must be a really good director now. Holy shit.

  • @BestMaxScheffel I am pretty decent, yes.

  • Look at the tags

    lol

  • The band is pretty legit. Sounds like Circa Survive, but not as annoying for some reason.

  • RIP Rocco's dad.

  • I love it, and how they're able to do something completely different and have it still be really good.

  • I have no problem them doing a music video. But this is meh, this is something you do your last year of film school.

  • Other music exists besides rap?

  • This is dumb

    

  • I for one love this. It really shows Mega64's true potential for cinematography and directing videos. In most of their other videos, they purposefully film it poorly because it's satire.

  • they properly upload some in the making of it. Rocco properly will be posting it on his personal channel soon.

  • neat

  • I like both nova and Mega64. Oh god, perfect

  • Why is Eric driving the limo?

  • @n2existance cool dr.money gotta make his keep somehow

  • I put this video to play along with Monsters Wedding by The Aquabats. Holy crap, it actually works well...just run the song 7 seconds and start the video so they're the same length...quite good!

  • i actually knew about this band before (hipster victory) , good thing to know that Mega64 is supporting them, they are great and deserve more fame

  • @registrado54 haha hipster victory

  • Well, this band listens to a lot of Mars Volta...

  • @ehhhhhhhhhh This shows us how much you actually know about music. This sounds NOTHING like the mars volta.

  • @chazmann87 I didn't say they sound like Mars Volta. I said they listen to Mars Volta. There's a not-so-subtle difference between the two.

    Thanks for insulting me over something I didn't say, though.

  • the band is very similar to fall of troy. they are pretty decent.

  • Everyone buy their EP on iTunes!

  • Holy fuck, this is amazing. Favorited!

  • Just saw Rocco's dad die in 1080p.

  • Tell them it worked. Great track, band seems well put together, and this is the first vid where I can say Mega64 made themselves look cool. I mean, as opposed to just funny lol

  • i want one of those freaking papers

  • Christ, guys. Just because Mega64 uploaded a vid that isn't video-game based doesn't mean they won't be doing stuff like that ever again. They have the right to use their channel to upload stuff they are interested in making. So, as Cosbilla said before me: Stop bitchin.'

  • @BartimaeusTrilogyFan people that dislike this video because it isn't videogame based are called NERDS but people that dislike this video because it isn't in their taste of music, then that's okay it's their opinion.

  • I've fought a guy like this before.

  • These guys sound like The Mars Volta!! pretty awesome!! I expected something different coming here by way of Mega64!

  • wow i think its pretty great and the mega64 crew deserve recognition, they tried something new and did it well but i still love mega 64 for there video game related vids.

  • Looks like Danny America and his mafia really stepped it up.

  • I don't really like the Mega64 reboot.

  • Damn I love this song! Thank you for the upload.

  • this band is great, sounds like a mix of fall of troy and the mars volta. The vocal range is incredible and so is the video. stop complaining

  • Dick Botte enters the arena.

  • Mega64 just keeps getting more awesome.

  • Yeah. Sorry Mega64...just no.

  • Comment removed

  • What the hell is this???

    its over 4 minutes long - ___ -

  • taggs=awesome

  • pretty fucking perfect

  • Terrible. Why isn't it a 4 minute video of Bryan shirtless?

  • How did this get so many thumbs down? I really really like this. :) x

  • What the hell just happened.

  • @landofconfusionfan Rocco's dad just died in an explosion.

  • The Ford Expedition made the video.

  • Good song dont know what everybody is bitching about. you know how hard it is to sing that high of a tone dont shit talk about how its emo id like to see you do that.

  • generic pop rock with a video that makes no sense. I am dissapoint.

  • @evangelism2 something to do with greek mythology, and the children have powers or something, in between some government conspiracy or something, I'm confused too.

  • @evangelism2 generic pop rock? you must be deaf.

  • I love the progression of this song and I loved this music video.

  • If you liked this song you should check out the song Complexity of Light. Absolutely phenomenal. Hell, the entire $5 EP is a great listen. I actually prefer this song in the context of the rest of the disc because the progression makes a bit more sense. Hell, if you didn't like this song you should check out CoL anyway because it might change your mind. Beautiful voice, intense song progression, and some incredibly talented musicians. Those drums!

  • Mute the music to this video and play Angel of death by Slayer, It syncs up perfectly!!!

  • reminds me of Mars Volta

  • This works great with Woodkid's Iron

  • Not bad keep it going

    

  • The saddest comments here are the ones written in an attempt to get on Shakespeare Theater. Come on guys. You can't fake that sort of prideful posturing.

  • Sounds much better then the overplayed stuff on the radio.

  • Also, I hate to double post, but at 2:46, you guys misspelled residence. Nevertheless, I'm willing to overlook that tiny blemish in an otherwise incredible music video

  • Wow, that was freaking intense. I did not expect a kick ass video AND an awesome new band that I must now check out. Great vid, great song!

  • fuck yea

  • No idea what this is all about... BUT, I do very much like the song. I mighta liked to video more if I understood it, but it was pretty good all the same ;)

  • I bet you complainers would have liked a music video with the aquabats instead of these guys.

  • this isnt vidya

  • I bet shawn liked that bag over his head and getting beaten shirtless

  • @Chaosrain112 That wasn't Shawn

  • @EVANBUCHHOLZ000 joke still stands

  • Thats quailty work guys, the video and the music is in 100% sync, works well.

  • Talk about ignorance. I must have missed the memo about high singing range = emo.

  • @RedSandStudios It's like saying the marz volta is emo hahahahaha what a joke.

  • @RedSandStudios your dialect leads me to believe you are a hipster

  • @RedSandStudios lolz high singing range? try listening to rob halford from judas priest, thats range... this is just whiny.

  • @dodgesxt It's sad I know, but they feel that that it is time to move on from that period of their life and produce more serious and professional work that they could be proud of.

  • rich botte = badass

    eric badour = faggot chauffeur

  • wow. great video and thank you Mega64 for introducing me to an awesome band.

  • Mm not funny as the usual stuff but you know, I like it.

  • song sucks, video is cool though.

  • hmmm interesting!

    not my cup of tea but nice to see em trying something new!

  • Why?

  • Too much shaky cam....

  • Edgy

  • Not too fond of the music, and the vid is bit too serious for mega64 stuff, not bad though.

  • Idk why everyone is hating on this band, I think having a sound similar to at the drive in and the mars volta is a huge compliment in itself. They have an awesome sound that takes talent to create. Not to mention singing like that takes serious talent. I give Children of Nova mad props for the great music, and mega64 for just being awesome at everything

  • "not vid games irl we know we get it"

    made me laugh
