[neodarien]

@newandjune word

[twistedtransistor232]

this song... god damn this is beautiful. why cant more music be like this? why?

[89cheapmonday]

Saw him live recently, fantastic guitarist

[TehAWAL]

@89cheapmonday where and how did you see him haha

[89cheapmonday]

@TehAWAL A few months ago at The Deaf Institute in Manchester, £11 on the door, good times!

[odallard]

It takes genius, passion and soul to make a 3-minute song last forever, good job!

[7OLGA7]

The most beautiful video shot at modern times, in my opinion.

[sairamsridharaa]

@7OLGA7 true!

[TehAWAL]

@7OLGA7 look up devendra banharts brindo video its also like this video its pretty powerful if you look at it the right way

[carlucis]

@7OLGA7 , Perfect...

[MrISAACFACE]

Anyone think they sound a lil bit like Alice in Chains?

[demonicpriest]

@MrISAACFACE dude what... No. Not at all.

[MrISAACFACE]

@demonicpriest Yeah, listend to more of thier stuff. Nope. This song just reminded me of their more acoustic stuff.

[thesoup]

@MrISAACFACE No.

[MrISAACFACE]

@thesoup lol i wont argue.

[thesoup]

@MrISAACFACE Six Organs pretty much rules, though. Check out more of their stuff! You might dig it!

[MrISAACFACE]

@thesoup Oh yeah for sure im loving it! Most of thier stuff is different than this though :P

[patisanasshole]

rippin cold sun

[alimoataz]

And though the dark split the thought

Through that dark spit a reason

And despite reason came the ghosts

And nothing that was needed

Was everything needed most

So take shelter from the ash

Take shelter from the ash

[xarabas]

this video is like....i'm speechless

[envelopevil]

it's more blood meridian than the road dreessluty at my funeral lameo

[TheSoundboardGuy]

Love Six Organs, but not this song. Wish it wasn't the first video result as it may turn away potential fans from his other great work.

Also, everyone commenting this video, you're all a bunch of scenesters and nobody gives a shit what you think AT ALL. None of you have any musical taste. If you did, you wouldn't trash one genre over another, you would like a good song for what it is, not that this is the best song though...<(my opinion)

[Devinopps]

@TheSoundboardGuy whats some of his good shit?

[TheSoundboardGuy]

@Devinopps All You've Left and Home are his favorite songs of mine.

[lizuuurd]

@TheSoundboardGuy soo..with me being a potential new fan..what's some of his best work in your opinion?

[TheSoundboardGuy]

@lizuuurd Look down two comments

[yellow1laces]

@TheSoundboardGuy dude its music, its not supposse to have the best songs or competitions or awards, its there to be with in the good times and bad times.

[urckrecords]

what the fuck does black metal or indie rock have to do with Ben Chasney's music? his music blows away anything I've heard from those tired, conservative-minded genres

[roblawson88]

ah, people who bother to write negative things on youtube videos, always a laugh

[kimmiethehippie]

pretty good

[cerelilqt]

This isnt art, this is just noise.

[nergal6]

Whats the matter bro, 2deep4u?

[OnlyHighWhenDriving]

This comment is the reason we, as a collective, are falling apart and destroying everything around us.

[cerelilqt]

@OnlyHighWhenDriving As animal collective?

[OnlyHighWhenDriving]

i hate you

i like animal collective

[cerelilqt]

@OnlyHighWhenDriving All indie sucks. Its for middle class hipsters who think its arty to make the most obvious "deep, philosophical metaphorical lyrics" over a basic chord progression. Calling indie art is like calling that picture in the Tate Modern of a single dot on a canvas art. Its crude and rudimentary. Plus, hipsters have rich parents who spend goodness knows how much for them on guitar equipment, that they just play shitly anyway. Listen to true art like Burzum, Immortal Or Darkthrone.

[OnlyHighWhenDriving]

SO LAZY DO NOT WANT TO REFUTE U GODDAMNIT

Firstly, art is subjective. If you understand art in the slightest, you must for the love of god understand it must be subjective. Because of its subjectivity you immediately can question, 'what is art anyway?'. Art is whatever you want. Massively categorization of independently funded artist or musicians, and calling it rudimentary is also silly. Independent means nobody big is helping them. Big people have lots of people. Lots of people are dull

[cerelilqt]

@OnlyHighWhenDriving Nope. Crude modern art is only for people who cannot fathom something deeper, so they make their own pseudoart.

[OnlyHighWhenDriving]

I don't even know what that means.. you seem like a neanderthal to me. Pseudoart does not exist. Art is simply a mode, a bridge, from consciousness to matter. If something is streaming from your brain, and you find a way to transcend that into a physical form you have created art. You are a person, just as the artist is a person. On an intrinsic level, you are identical to each other. No greater, no less. Who are you to decide what art is pseudo and what art isn't?

[cerelilqt]

@OnlyHighWhenDriving Pseudoart is art that people who are too simple to understand real art make in an attempt to be arty. And Ill tell you who I am to decide that. I am the black wizards.

[stevieb89]

Indy is for hipsters, and shit like darkthrone is for ratty metal kids like yourself. everyone gets pigeonholed, deal with it.

[cerelilqt]

Trve kvlt blaeck mettall involves debating nihilistic anti humanist themes with raw yet intricate neo-classical compositions.

[BUDGETFREE]

You're a really excellent troll. You almost had me.

[yellow1laces]

@cerelilqt i get what you mean with the indie thing, but with the art idea , surely the artist who did those dots or random splats they coould draw perfectly, they are just thinking outside of the box ignoring the text book and the orignal theory methods . Like this music is!!!!!!!

[sshake0appeal]

lol

[wakecharlie]

What does 'Six Organs of Admittance Mean' to folks out there in T.V. land?

[Gorlon1111]

what albums is the song Hazy SF on? Or was it just released as a single? I can't find it in any of the albums on the internet

[roblawson88]

golden apples of the sun compilation compiled by devendra banhart

[Gorlon1111]

i know that. but thats a compilation cd. i was wondering if it was on an actual album that Ben released.

[roblawson88]

im pretty sure its not on any 'proper' album

[dresssexyatmyfuneral]

Yes- "Take Shelter from the ash" I do believe....

[MysticDreamer91]

I just found this video in my recomended videos..i haven't heard for this group..i like it..guitar is..amazing..

[willlliw]

how much of a hand does Chesney have in his music videos? they're all amazing.

[kansasisajew]

sort of reminds me of autumns child

but who cares

the words are different

maybe the song reminded him of something he wanted to sing about

no ones complaining why would they?

they might be friends:]

[AmericanCaucasian]

Good book, good comment. The movie comes out October 2009. I think this song would be perfect.

What a strange feeling.

[peterpanmannnn]

hah I'm reading All The Pretty Horses and I thought the same thing.

[dresssexyatmyfuneral]

Another brilliant book....

[blakewood]

personal top 5 favourite album.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Good song. Too bad the album is garbage.

[TheGonzo1980]

Not to bash you. Why is everything about a "sounds like him/her contest?" They, 6 organs Devendra, them is all from the "New Weird America" group. Y'all sound alike to them plebs. To us, it's all cool. Keep doing it. Enough said. Rock IT on.

[daisheyaku]

It's not. Sorry if that annoyed you. I agree. It's all cool.

[latneyb]

The word "plebs" is worse than nigger

[bodhidarma1]

He brought it up because banhart said he drew his inspiration from six organs and chasny.

[nblumer]

No he did not say he drew his inspritation from them (although he obviously loves the music) Banhart was merely saying that the description of his music as 'psychedelic' better fits 6 Organs of Admittance than his. Banhart's music is of cource much different.

[biograffiti95]

the way i find bands is from going on my favrites bands myspace..and there top friends should sound similiar to whoever's page your looking at...i found this band by devendra banhart

[redrock505]

i love devendra banhart but i don't think his music sounds like six organs ... do you ?? maybe the voice a bit in this song maybe ...

[Tim8tei]

How do you guys get to know music like this?!

[redrock505]

acoustic guitar world magazine, and uh if you like something find out what record label they're on and yeah myspace lol of course

[tahini87]

You should also check out Wire magazine

[biograffiti95]

magic

[serfur007]

devendra referred me here. the music is good. less self righteous, if you know what i mean...

[gunxbang]

all i could think while i was watching this was "damn i need some acid"

[Urizhx]

@gunxbang LSD!

[Yairyona81]

This album was THE best album of 2007 IMHO.

The guy is a genius. He also made Comets On Fire a better band then what they were (which is very hard to acheive as they were outstanding)

[stickNmove]

where is this video shot?

[betanialiberato]

WOOOOOOW LOVELY!!!

[freakageek]

This is pretty cool. I like it!

[Jpnasiam]

Actually, what people are hearing is a nod to All Along the Watchtower. Hendrix doing Dylan.

[mikebott]

love hendrix, love chasny, but you know i simply don't hear it.

[Jpnasiam]

well, i see people making the hendrix comment and to me, the intro to shelter sounds like the lead up to hendrix' guitar solo in watchtower. not a lot but just a nod. i also hear a nod in the general melody. the song stands on its own but we all have influences. if its true, hendrix and dylan aren't bad influences to have.

[DivineMoments]

I hear it, too.

[Jpnasiam]

Cool.

[JoNNyKiNZ1]

Didn't take me long to load at all lol

[imanerd115]

Wow. This takes a while to load, eh?

[fruud]

whats with the enormous buffering??

[uturd]

could this take any longer to load?

[mikebott]

the heckler was way off- echo and the bunnymen were never quite this frenetic. and hendrix, while he did it sometimes, was not a big exponent of fingerpicking. the low-fi parts of 6 organs remind me a lot of flying saucer attack more than anyone. but gorgod sonned him better than i could.

i'm hoping that ben decides to make a video for 'alone with the alone'. the solo on that gets me everytime.

[lazyshell]

a band named flying saucer attack? it must be monumental.  know where i could get any releases by them?

[mikebott]

try looking for them on last fm, or maybe on the drag city site. all of their records, except mirror, were superb.

[EscapingGravity]

Thank you for uploading this beautiful video. If Ben reads this: please come to Germany one day. Cologne is a good city to play...

[hugojrneves]

WTF...when I dont like something I just click on closing window dont waste my time insulting someone else...Ben Chasny sounds BEAUTIFULY like Ben Chasny and I dont even understand why people talk about Hendrix here...

...John Fahey,Bert Jansch,Nick Drake, Vasthy Bunyan they also sound BEAUTIFULLY like themselves..guess what almost no one knew them until a few years ago...coincidence? I dont think so...

[timjmoran]

@hugojrneves  MAYbe they are sayin' that 'cause the Chord progression ( sounds like an Am-G-F) is

the same as "All along the Watchtower".. but I think that is where it ends... this is pretty out there...in

a good way... wild guitar playing.. but not really much like Jimi, really.

[shunyotube]

@timjmoran And of course that isn't a Hendrix tune anyways.

[AirHendrix91]

And further more, I think it's more of a Comets on Fire solo rather than a Jimi solo honestly cause I'm a fan of both.

If you don't even know who Comets on Fire is by the way, then you shouldn't even try to compare Six Organs Of Admittance to Jimi Hendrix cause we all know you're just pulling it out of your rear, man.

[AirHendrix91]

This guy is straight off the vine of Comets on Fire my friends and not exactly Jimi Hendrix.

Sure, Jimi is the man and this guy is great but they don't really sound exactly alike. There's a fine line between plagiarism and influences man.

[gorgod]

Fuck off and listen to Hendrix then. Why say lame shit like that? By all means; hurt yourself, not other people. If you don't like the smell then stop sniffing around here like the untrained confused dog you are.

[gorgod]

Wow right on man! Vent that bile! Phew... you've gotta a lot of it! Nah, I mean it; respect! But I must say I dig Hendrix - so you're wrong on that count. And you're also right about the 80's cos Ben sounds just like Duran Duran, Metallica, Wham, Depeche Mode and the rest.

My guess is you probably aren't aware of the Sun City Girls? And that, well, basically you chose EATBM to reference because it's the closest thing you're able to compare him with.

[gorgod]

Way to reference mr referee! Reference like you're jackin' it baby! I can't say I know whether he's rich or not... if he is then I'm with you! Run those Richers outta down Cletus!

[gorgod]

Oh, I would say giving up his day job might not be such a good idea. He'll be supporting himself with his music soon enough.

[gorgod]

nice talking to you. Nothing like a fresh cock in the morning to give your mouth a fuzzy glow :-p

[gttlb]

"they need to be shot for insulting Hendrix!"

lol, what an idea. whatch your keyboard.

[JeffersonColtrane]

Wild psyched-out wah-wah/feedback guitar solo!

[niallholohan]

fantastic stuff

[sammijabber]

fukin a

[creepingbrain]

Stunning.

[astrojoggi]

Lovely song!Thxs

[detrevni]

Great song. This new record is amazing.

[gendo82]

Great track by a great band. Can't wait for this record

[Kapila]

Great video, reminds me of Fallout. Very gloomy, fits the song wonderfuly!
