  • Wolf Eyes is a band ment to terrify , scare you, and downright make you sick

    their purpose is to implant a horrific memory in your mind. nothing else, if you like this you get it, this is the only noise band i like because they sound so damn unreal when your stoned. if you dont like this , fine its normal....but seriously try this when your stoned :3

  • what the fuck did I just watch

  • nobody sees how brilliant this is! it has nothing to do with talent, it is unique in ways no one would ever thing of

  • @hatefulljerk1 - Brilliant..? I could do this on accident by dropping my guitar on stage -.-

  • that was fucking unlistenable. the only good song is "stabbed in the face" everything else fucking sucks.

  • No talent, no emotion, nothing. Just idiots with intsruments, they aren't doing anything that wouldn't take a day to learn.

  • But then have you seen some kind of solid noise-rock band use it like it was meant to? They can transform the worst sound ever—something actually painful—into something beautiful and powerful.

    *from: Run It Through the Whale

    love this!

  • Love these guys. I had a car accident to one of their songs once. Kind of spectacular.

  • LOL IS THE BASSIST EVEN PLUGGED IN OR IT HE JUST PRETENDING TO PLAY?!

  • @godhatesfagsable where's the laptop

  • Not my cup of tea... But maybe cause I like classical *twiddles thumbs* I like imagining stories and such to it... this doesn't really allow my creativeness to flow...

    Cause that doesn't sound weird...

    Anyway, not the kinda music that you can listen to and draw fantasy themed art to... And it hurts my ears D8

    But each to their own. It's their form of art, so be it. It reminds me of jackson pollock and those style artists - chaotic... But makes sense to certain people.

  • I've played Atari 2600 games with better music than this.

  • :|

  • What. The. Fuck. Was. That.?

  • So, an Noise Rocker, An Atheist, and Jesus walk into a bar. 3:46 seconds later, Jesus and the Atheist leave together, vowing that this is the only time they will both agree on something that is so out of reach, yet so impossibly direct.

  • I am totally going to start a Wolf Eyes cover band, this looks like a so much fun.

  • NOISE can be interesting but this is not interesting enough...

    too repeatitive.... they should listen to THE RESIDENTS and JOHN ZORN

  • These guys are intense, they gave me one of the worst panic attacks ever at a Sonic Youth show;)

  • I don't like noise. So I'm gtfo.

  • wow, everyone in these comments are pretentious "my music is better than yours" faggots. how surprising. if you dont like noise gtfo. if you do like noise watch the video and stfu.

  • @septopia sounds good bud. Let me know if you need anything.

  • like, cool

  • I like them better when they mostly stand still and devastate. I think they might be having a laugh with all the head banging and high kicking.

  • borders on pathetic. (yes, i am a Wolf Eyes fan)

  • WARNING: WOLF EYES WILL CAUSE STUPID YOUTUBE COMMENTS

  • I'm scared and still not sure if I love this or just don't get it!

  • Oh man, I wish they had this at our local karaoke place!

    I saw these guys open for Sonic Youth. I will say that I found them intriguing for the first 15 mins or so - then it started getting old fast. Still, while I wouldn't go see them again or buy their stuff, I will give them credit for being interesting and creating a unique ambience . . . kind of like being inside a horror movie. Yes, perhaps anyone COULD do this, but nobody else DID.

  • the album version of this song was a lot better.

    but this...this is total anarchy. and its awesome. i bet they are drunk.

  • not sayin this is bad, or what ever...but anyone could do it with out ever playing an instrument before...

  • @plurx that is so not true

  • i love these guys

    i prefer a million years

  • O_o

  • take drugs then listen ull understand

  • could someone please explain to me how this is pleasurable. I've read some reviews by critics, but I would like to see a comment from a fan that can tell me why they like this. Im quite open minded when it comes to music, but to me this just sounds awful and I cant find a single redeeming quality. Someone enlighten me.

  • @thesuit333 if you don't feel anything for this, then, why bother? I LOVE THIS. you don't. it's cool. I can't 'explain' it to you :)

  • @thesuit333 I was actually there for this performance and I think this kind of music needs to be experienced live. In a dark room at earsplitting volume, it becomes mesmerising, puts you into a trance. That's my personal reaction to it anyway.

  • Unbelievable that you'd even have to ask - just listen to these goons! It's not exactly stuff you can remain indifferent about, is it?

  • ok. let me explain you something. Harshnoise music (wich is a real term) is just about doing something never experienced and totally creative. Whatever it sounds like, who ever likes it. Its just about doing something that people will be shocked while they listen. Something nobody would do. Don't think about that negatively. Just take it on the creative side. caus if you think creating music is just about writting stuff that everybody will like... then you get it wrong. any other questions?

  • this is terrible!

  • this whole scene is actually a farce when these dudes go home - ass to mouth baby, ass to mouth

  • people like different things than you:)

  • ¡Qué malos son!

  • I wonder if I would like this after 100000 doses

  • @Venapallie it was good for stressed people, yesterday when i was really tripping and confused, i relaxed upon hearing this

  • Hear Hear! ... And now I'll be modded down. Go on. Do it! Do it! Prove me right.

  • maybe theres no intellect in this, but they are good

  • The is obviously some usage of the word 'good' that I was previously unaware of.

  • i can see that wolf eyes' member must be a relaxed and happy men, because they always channel their stress through their live performances IMHO

  • ...and this was the "ballad" of the set...

  • I consider Wolf Eyes music. I listen to them and I also like classical, jazz, and alternative. If someone likes noise, that doesn't mean they have no taste in music. Everyone has their own opinions. For those of you who think it's shit, don't listen to them. Besides, I'd listen to Wolf Eyes over Kanye West any day.

  • Comment removed

  • If you're coming here from pitchfork and want some Fuck Buttons or something, look elsewhere. Nothing here for you. In general, I'd recommend Wolf Eyes more to people who like Merzbow or Pig Destroyer. If you think Wolf Eyes is OMG so bizarre, then I think it's safe to assume you're new to the noise genre.

    There's nothing wrong with not liking noise, but that doesn't mean the people who do want to hear you whining about it on youtube. Yeah yeah you don't get it so they're posers whatever.

  • amen brother!!!

  • @jmtramel and at 22 i am sure we should trust your long and extensive experience with your comment.

    Guess you are new to the noise genre yourself..

    easy to call others posers when you are a young phony. int it ?

  • @septopia if you read my post, you'll notice I actually never called anyone a poser. Reading comprehension really works in ones favor when formulating a response. Boy I sure hope I have enough cred/authenticity on youtube for me to be able to state what kind of bands I like; it is so very important to me that people on the internet think I know everything there is to know about this subgenre of music...

  • @jmtramel Congrats for your articulate and sarcastic response..

    the humor wasnt lost on me.

    Its is no point to discuss this any further. with the "self entitled " new species.

  • Wow!! Everybody hates Wolf Eyes now. Five years ago everybody liked them.

  • This will be like Chuck Berry in 30 years.

  • @fantasykiss08 No it will not, thats not because it isn't great, it's because there has already been a group that did "noise" rock like this first , Throbbing Gristle!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • You see, this is what Wolf Eyes are trying to do--to make you love them, or hate them, but either way, the result is impassioned people crying or cumming about it on the Internet.

    Good job, Wolf Eyes.

  • "Yes, this is terrible because it completely defies everything that society has told me about how music should be and I hate it when my view of the world is challenged because I want to live inside my rind of synchronized verse-chorus-verse until the day I die, except, in contradiction, I will sit on YouTube and offer my patronage to the same bands I claim to dislike because we can all play God in the cyber age."

  • WOAH that guitarist is so good...Damn he should do some solo records I'm sure they would sell about ten copies

  • Great!

  • Really? Why are people flipping shit on Wolf Eyes? You dont understand what they are trying to do. It's noise yes, but its for an atmospheric feel. When i walk home sometimes its really dark and scary, and i want something to give me a good atmosphere for the surroundings. So just calm yourselves and dont listen if you dont wanna

  • ummmm... i think ill listen to the of rocks being blended next.

    anybody want to give me money just let me know

  • It's not supposed to be music! It's supposed to be noise. They want to make disgusting, dissonant, uncomfortable atmospheres with their noise, and they do a damn good job of it.

  • @thealgebraofneed And it's worth mentioning that there are many of us who want to enjoy them doing it. :)

  • I like piss

  • what i mean by that is,this shit's extremely easy. and not particularly expressive,and certainly not beautiful. it's usefulness is debatable. 'piece of piss' is a colloquialism meaning 'easy'. so i'm not saying this is bad,per se, although i can't really see what's good about it.

  • THIS IS NOT MUSIC! I say music should be decent to listen to. BondservanttoLove seriously this isn't music when theres this weirdo shouting down a mike and you can't understand a word that comes out of his mouth and that dude playing a guitar if he wants to see a jammer look up slash or jimi hendrix. Wolf eyes are beautiful yet deadly to bad this name was wasted on such a pitiful waste of time. Your right this music is deadly listen to it long enough it kills your brain cells.

  • all i hear is some knob twisting over a bunch of noise. i hope it sounds better at the show.

  • i wish some people could appreciate good sound/music even when it's not just appealing to ear and in simple 4/4. APPRECIATE

  • I disagree, I believe that music should be appealing to the ear, or in other ways ENJOYABLE. That seems to be somehting like for some reason.

  • I find this enjoyable. It has a lot of rich texture, a nice edge, and a lot of dynamic contrast. It's pretty good stuff.

  • NOISE NOISE NOISE IS THE BEST

  • psicodelia . psicodelia. psicodelia .

  • fuck off and die now!!!!!!

  • i could take a poop on a tape recorder out of anger that doesnt make it good music

  • noise not music kid

  • Well what the HELL are you waiting for? Post that shit NOW!!!

  • Garth Brooks eat your heart out

  • Been toying with the idea of arrhythmic psychedelia. These guys totally capture what I've been thinking of.

  • lol

  • this reminds me of some Diamanda Galas stuff...

  • oh dear. they forgot to sound check i guess.

  • serious? how do you even know who they are if you listen to journey, you fuck?

  • mafkezen

  • It's absolutely adorable the mass of pedantic Youtube comments I've found pertaining to the musicality of groups such as Wolf Eyes. Music was first created with an idea of self-expression, and these guys are clearly expressing themselves. There's nothing expressive about your cute piano music, your 4/4 time signatures, and your religious adherence to scales. These guys are raw, unfiltered, and interesting.

  • [devils advocate]

    I agree with you, music is about self expression. But what does this song express? What feelings are these people trying to convey?

    Is it really self expression if you express yourself in a way that nobody understands? If I was writing this comment in Crimean Gothic, would I be expressing myself?

    [/devils advocate]

  • Yeah, you would be.

  • who fucking cares they don't care they just want to make cool sound

  • you either get it or you don't...

  • Who doesn't understand what they are expressing here? The primal scream is the ONLY human universal. Uncontrollable aggression is all that any of us have in common.

  • Well, that and breathing.

  • of course, if others that know how to read crimean gothic read it they would dig what you´re saying...and others who don´t but still find the visual patterns of crimean gothic pleasurable would also ¨dig¨it....it´s all relative...you don´t have to like it...but that doesn´t mean that us who do have to leave your intolerance untouched.

  • @humanenglish Quite the contrary. They are completely uninteresting. Sure, they make noise with no rhyme or reason, but that doesn't make them interesting. If you saw kids doing this on the street, you'd think "Wow, it's inspiring that even though they lack any necessary talents or otherwise notable abilities to handle what they're doing, they still try anyway. Bless their special little souls as they go back to the wacky shack's retard room."

  • @humanenglish It's interesting for 10 seconds before you realize that this is all they're doing. I mean, I can whip out my dick and slap my guitar strings with it, and by your definition, that would make me an incredible artist, but by the definition of someone who isn't a hipster, it's bullshit. Sure, it would be interesting to see someone play guitar with their dick, but it would also be creepy and stupid, and also would stop being interesting when you noticed that that was all they could do.

  • @851852093114208513 how do you know that's all they can do? I make noise, and I also play in a funk band, so would you make the assumption that all I can do is make noise just from seeing me play noise? but so what if it's all they're doing? listen to 10 seconds of any rock song. all they're doing is playing notes and chords to a rhythm. it's even more repetitive than most noise. the thing is, noise sounds harsh and inaccessible, but "understanding" it is a lot more simple than you think.

  • see any happy faces??

  • lol this is so horrible I am actually cracking up.

  • XD :D

  • wat

  • listen to him

    V

    V

    V  he knows everything.

    V

  • I think it's funny, all the people commenting here saying this isn't music and that those who like it know nothing about sound.

    Wolf Eyes, and noise music in general, is not really about beat and harmony and chordal theory, it's about texture. It's also just the kind of music that, if you don't get it, that's great. Don't listen to it.

  • music is noise. that's not an oxymoron. an oxymoron is to things that are not related like jumbo shrimp or president bush

  • Yeah, I was just joshin'.

  • fckn siq

  • Hell yeah! Wolf eyes!

  • Thurston Moore made a great point about these guys: they're something completely new.

  • wolf eyes aren't completely new, just so you know. they're developing luigi russolo's crackpot theory of what futuristic music would sound like from way back in 1919.

    they're awesome for doing that though; russolo's music insighted riots that destroyed his noisemaking machines.

  • wow this is just raping the instruments... you call this music?!!! this is for people who can't play ...

  • A great example for musicians who can't play and assholes who don't know shit about listening to music or sound.

  • i gota agree with the other guy, all u hear is high pitch screams and sound XD and it does look like they raping the instruments lmao

  • I was there it sounded sick!!!!

  • that was fucking great

  • What the... I don't even want to know how that's considered music. At all. Okay, then.

  • lol at the diss comments....cause like it or not, YOU WATCHED IT! HAHA, SUCKERS!

  • um, okay. I've also witnessed car accidents and parents abusing their children during my lifetime but the fact that I saw and heard those phenomena didn't grant them any dignity or positive appreciation. Why don't you think before you write stupid shit.

  • very very shitty

  • myspace/tomcruisenoise

  • ummm...WTF? Absolutely no fucking talent at all...

  • At least someone's wasting time watching them on youtube

  • I think, in order to watch these guys, it's either a matter of you're so jaded that normal heavy metal is too soft for you and you need something devoid of notation, time signatures, tempo, and melody, or perhaps you just like music that's so bad it's horrible; like a 2girls1cup for the ears.

  • Yeah, and you're watching them, defending their honor, and worst of all, probably considering the band worth your time. Watching these talentless hippie shitbags and rightfully pointing out that they have no talent is definitely a more productive way to spend one's time than engaging in any of the band's actual activities.

  • hah keep replying,all you're doing is upping the views and making me laugh. thanks!

  • I'm sure the less than half-dozen views I've contributed really mean a lot.

  • So do you like Wolf Eyes or not????

  • tomcruisenoise

  • tom cruise cruise

  • wow my first time listening to this band and i gotta say im not impressed and there was pretty much no talent in that at all.

  • wolf eyes truly suffered when mike connelly took the place of aaron dilloway.

    boycott wolf eyes.

  • this band is amazing, I heart them

  • From what little I just watched of the video, I really wish I hadn't...

  • oh...

  • how can you like this ???

  • Cute...

  • THE single most intense band i've ever seen live. it was like a rave in hell. fuckin deadly buzz. possibly the most genuinely violent bands goin. and good fun too.

  • Ok. I can't believe they need to have talent or know how to play an instrument to make something like that. But still, this rocks.

  • people take this band too seriously. wolf eyes aren't trying to make a statement, they're just having fun and making awesome sounds.

  • that bassist looks ridiculous headbanging to minimal noise, it's still pretty cool though.

  • you can't hear it to well but theres a really bassy kick drum the whole way through. it just ain't been picked up well on the camera

  • That bass player should be collecting tickets at a parking garage somewhere, not touring and certainly not operating instruments and sound gear. Viewing this again, it's sadly noteworthy that around the 2:50 mark he's being a supreme fucking asshole... holding the bass up in the air, shredding a bunch of non-notes with the strap off (so artsy!), and continuing to headbang like a metalhead jackoff while there's no beat or rhythmic swagger whatsoever.

  • The noise genre: For people who enjoy buying and holding instruments but can't be bothered to learn how to play them, and for pretentious college students who think being intellectual and open-minded is about pretending to like everything.

  • the noise genre: for people who think your view on music is a waste of time, think you're a waste of oxygen, and think your mother's a waste of a nickel.

  • Well you did watch it.

  • Munching

  • amazing-ish.

  • lol bourdelo...

  • excellent band, all who disagree are rapists

  • Munters

  • Wolf Eyes fucking rules!!! Watching this video conveys nothing of the experience. You have to be there in front of the speakers as they vibrate your body apart!!!

  • Just one look at you cunts is enough . Find another band name cunt !

  • yeah, this is really more music than noise

  • just like a country & western act;it all sounds the same-just the same thing over & over again

  • go fuck yourself

  • hey skankinGabe how old are you 15?

  • as with any genre, you have to have listened to it often enough to appreciate the differences between the songs and parts of songs. to you it sounds like noise, but to fans of noise, the song is distinct.

  • I am a fan of noise,ok,however there are much better "noise" bands out there.I seen them in Detroit last year & they were boring,plus they need to lighten up a little

  • I don't really care what your definition of "good" or "better" music is. It's YOUR definition. This is pretty standard stuff. You think you can define what is and isn't boring for the rest of us? Don't be imperialistic with your music tastes. It does nothing but polarize and alienate. For every perspective you have, there are millions upon millions of perspectives elsewhere that conflict with yours. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can keep yourself from sounding like an ass.

  • whatever..you want to discuss music, fine.If you are going to start this silly name-calling,as far as I am concerned the discusion is over.

  • anyone who says what MekanikalVoid just said knows nothing about Noise so I'd advise them to fuck off.

  • lmfao this looks such a sweet show! i would feinitely pay to see 3 clowns make loud abrasive sounds on a stage.

  • kill yourself asap

  • You better leave before you make these motherfuckers watching this video mad oh and fuck you.

  • Sounds like a woman going through an extremely difficult Labor.

  • UH...yeah. This music is known to frighten household pets, cats in particular.

  • mah, nn capirò mai come si fa a kiamare musica questa!
