Kylesa - To Walk Alone

[JohnnyFreakadelic]

those two drums doesn't make any difference...

[chromehound1]

fucking hipsters everywhere on this bands videos

[DarthBleh]

I'm interested in listening to more sludge like this and Baroness, although I like Baroness more, maybe because they are more "melodic" (I have only heard Kylesa's first 2 albums). Any recommendatios?

[kilik2049]

@DarthBleh I heard that Black Tusk is really close (too close maybe) of those bands ;)

[ihaveaverybadcold]

sorry but the drums in this song is a little redundant ...to me anyways...let me get high and ill get back with you

[Lobodomy69]

Why is everone hating on Tool? they're a very talented group of people, and they sound similar to this band. both this band and Tool are really good.

[MrGoedhe]

saw them yessterday in the baroeg holland !!! really awesome and good sound :)

[Thronsohn]

these people should get a proper haircut.

[deadpooh]

I listen to music to enhance my reality. I would say "to make me happy" but that really doesn't capture it. I force myself to listen to music outside of my preferred tastes. A practice which has led me to many incredible and beautiful songs. That said, this song is good. It makes me thing of John Dyer Baizley's artwork, which I love very much. Very inspiring music and art. Do enjoy.

[Wowbagger86]

@deadpooh Then you might know the band Kvelertak, wich Baizley has made some cover illustrations for... if not, check them out, thei're pretty good.

[deadpooh]

@Wowbagger86 I will absolutely check them out =) good looking out friend.

[Wowbagger86]

@deadpooh Cheers, take care mate =)

[Wowbagger86]

@deadpooh Cheers! :D

[strabinski]

i love metal chicks....

[Musesoldier]

Touché...

[OnlYYlnO]

Mainstream painstream shitstream and blah blah blah. If you like it......fine. If you don't.then fuck off. Why the need to disemminate everything through your banal commenting? Go wallow oin your insignificance little peep.

[Ghettobootywhiteguy]

this music makes me om nom. like, with my brain. like that's what i picture in my mind listening to this... i am so damn blazed

[1masterdestroyer]

I love metal bands that have meaningful lyrics.

[kummitusefekti]

this has to be one their best and toughest masterpieces ever! The riff is awesome!!!

[33anarchy]

the jonas brothers rool!

[robjrom82]

kylesa rocks, so does tool, so does mastodon, so does neurosis, but this is kylesa's music on this page so fuck yeah kylesa!

[wolfievt]

Quit talking about Tool you weasels. This is Kylesa and they kick ass.

[casperado666]

@wolfievt Tool still fucking pwns

[ogznog]

Listen to what you like regardless of whether other people like it. If you like Lady Gaga, listen to that even if everyone else likes her or if all of your metalhead friends hate her. Even though the fact that you're listening to Lady Gaga doesn't make you independent or different, the fact that you're listening to her because you like her instead of because everyone else does, that makes you different. I like Kylesa, Mastodon, Melvins, High On Fire, Meshuggah, and The All-American Rejects.

[narutofreek123]

@ogznog I like OTEP, Mastodon, Baroness, Graveworm, Blood Shot Child, among various death metal and black metal bands. But I still love Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Rihanna, and other mainstream music. And I love what you said "Listen to what you like regardless of whether other people like it". Sheer awesomeness. Immediate thumbs up.

[MrBlograt]

Why the fuck is everyone talking about TOOL? I like Kylesa, hence why I'm here.

[musstakrakish]

@MrBlograt Cause they sound a lot like TOOL and that's a very good thing too!!

[DrRepper]

Tool made their best album by far (Aenima) about 15 years ago and have been playing it ever since. A fucking great albumit was, but still. Besides, anyone that decides to compare a stoner/doom band to Tool might as well say that potatos are better than fountain pens. My suspicion is that such people don't know their asses from holes in the ground. This suspicion is only reinforced when the very same people start calling Tool 'metal', which they are not and have never tried to be.

[APPLEAPPS1]

@DrRepper

You do have to admit potatoes have a hell of a lot more uses than fountain pens...

[baaltazariusz]

bryliant!!

[Dunskaroo]

Less talk about Tool and more talk about Kylesa please.

[pissdrunk078]

@WolfAttackFromSpace dude you are a tool! TOOL is a psychedelic band! not supposed to be death metal, because death metal is hard your faggit! TOOL IS ITS OWN SELF!, great fucking band! and A PERFECT CIRCLE,

[downtosystem]

two totally different bands...

depends what mod your in at the time.... like blue you like orange... just enjoy music people and listen to what makes you feel good.

fucking orgasmic song, as wierd as that is

[CavScoutZombie]

But until them, continue wearing your favorite Slipknot mask while hanging up your new 5 Finger Death Punch poster and put your entire collection of Godsmack and Disturbed T-Shirts in wash. I Hate You.

[CavScoutZombie]

. . . I can't believe the BS that comes out of most peopls's mouth... but on the other hand its expected... I'm not one to come and YouTube and talk shit to people,. but i can;t take it anymore.... i'm about to force my own head through the wall next to me....

TooL: Not anywhere near Mastodon. Not anywhere near Isis.....

If you want to go listen to four albums worth of the same tired ass old song, go listen to Tool... And kill yourself while you are at it...

[quezisadung]

I saw them once on MTV, oh wait I didnt. Forgot they don't play good music there

[Deadgray]

Awesome. Simply... life itself.

[Maahes144]

nice beard

[amybby93]

Why are people talking about Tool...Tool is nothing compared to what we should be comparing this album to....this album commands that same sort of energy created by greats such as...Converge's Jane Doe, Mastodon's Leviathan, Baroness's Red Album...another level....these bands dont have to write a song riddled in deep self-consumed narcissism to be deep...they write music that you truly can "feel"

[goatboyke]

@amybby93 think you've never listened to tool..or you don't understand a sh*t they're singing about, maybe that's why you don't "feel" it...... and then saying mastodon is greater, haahaa LMAO..... not one band can be compared to tool my dear, not one.....

[cRazyBassBiTch]

@goatboyke mastodon are so much better than tool in my opinion

[MrFragglerock75]

@goatboyke what the hell is wrong with all the rabid Tool fans slating everything that aint Tool? Don´t get me wrong Lateralus is a masterpiece in my opinion but u people are acting like religious fanatics in the sense that you got all the answers so to hell with everyone else coz your opinion don´t matter. And the last time i checked Maynard was not christ reborn? Personal opinion is just that, personal. And to MY EARS Isis and Mastodon have made better MUSIC than Tool. So there!

[goatboyke]

@amybby93 mastodon, baroness..they could not carry one pubic hair of maynard, cause even his pubic hair's got more balls than them all together will ever have....

[eGreg24]

@goatboyke First of all, that's retarded. Second of all, both Mastodon and Baroness run circles around Tool. I like Tool, I think Lateralus was fantastic and I actually seem to like 10, 000 Days more than most Tool fans I talk to, but Mastodon and Baroness are both just amazing, and that's not even mentioning Neurosis, who have been making better post-metal than Tool their entire career. Anyway, don't you know Maynard finds it weird and uncomfortable when people idolize him like you're doing?

[sd61000]

Damad was much better.

[sugessad]

I first heard this song while I was stoned. A friend played it for us. I was like "Wow so trippy dude"

[summatsnotright]

@Smkiller well yes...to other people with a different opinion to you, its all relative man. And she's a damn fine piano player...

[acrid1ne]

I love Kylesa....I just wish more people knew how great this band is

[koninoskoninosT]

great song!!!

[NachTheRz]

@cordycepszombieswarm Zombie swarm? That's the name of your blog? No, thank you keep the music my pc won't be a part of your zombie swarm

[Friiiiick]

I have spent the last hour trying to tab this out. That solo at the start's giving me some difficulty, any help on offer?

[tmacmatt]

Amazing song, Amazing band.

[pissvirus]

holy awesome

[codeaires]

I love this song, but my only regret about it is that Laura's vocals don't sound clearer.

[alexhallgren]

Very few actually walk alone. I am one.

[blckjade05]

lol, i tried not to but shit i guess i walk alone 2, sometimes it doesnt feel like anything to brag about, fuck u got no choice.

[55175772]

where did you found the lyrics? please

[staphinfection]

Does anyone have the split they did with some band called "kareem abdul babbar"? There is a sick ass song on it I'm trying to find that has an amazing ambient outro with some spoken word over it....

[vitech]

yes...

[Jeremximbo]

i have the kylesa/cream abdul babar split on vinyl, would be willing to part with it maybe

[longbeachdirtbag]

Kylesa raped your mother, and owns everybody else.

[dbycrash]

if you are into kylesa ... you should check out damad, who's lineup happens to feature 3 of the founding members of kylesa(a much better incarnation of the band imo) ... and carl's original band(the handsome fellow in the very front of the picture) ... the unpersons .... both bands from savannah, ga.

[dicknixon1990]

deff not my favorite kylesa song but still good. doenst really get good till like 3:18. sorry, i just really like the heavy part and not the long build-up. its kinda like sex lots of edging, then the orgasm. i hate sex.

*end of satire*

[CombiChrist0recruit]

if you listen to them it really shouldn't care if there mainstream or not you listen to music for the sense of listening you shouldn't listen to them cause there main or not (watev is your thing) cause thne you just posin

[singemajeep]

tool r awesome. tool r only mainstream in the metal scene. metal is not as big as say rock and pop. no where near. who the fuck cares if they r mainstream any way. if they r mainstream its because they sound fucking brilliant. if u dislike a band jst because they r mainstream u r douche.

[Prolute]

If they're mainstream it's because thye're brilliant?

Oh lawd

[shariotoflove]

agreed! the reason why they are mainstream..is because they have a sound that everone likes. but to get to that stage, especially in metal, you have to be fucking amazing and still rely alot on word of mouth. its not like they are MANUFACTURED. lol i think people get the two mixed up. mainstream bands were once underground and probably sounded shite! lol mainstream just means success...something all underground metal bands aim for. its a relatively small reward for all their hard work.

[subhumanmaster]

@singemajeep so true

[666Octopod]

@singemajeep cool story bro

[fateissealed]

@singemajeep well. mainstream means to go with the flow of the stream. they kinda are a stream of their own, you know? so i wouldnt call them mainstream.

[EvilCain138]

@singemajeep You are very naive...

[MrLolurdumb]

@singemajeep I R SPELZOR KING

[MrLolurdumb]

@singemajeep I R SPELZOR KING! HAIL MEH GREMMAR AN MAH WERDZ

[Relvaceos]

@singemajeep tool aren't even mainstream: they don't have live DVD's, just a few bunch of videoclips on which the band doesn't even appear, they don't give gigs that often, they're sound is exquisite, progressive and singular, hard for one to get to like, they don't like mediatization, and i could go on forever... metallica are mainstream, korn, megadeth, etc (not criticizing, i like them).

ANYWAY, i subscribe your comment, who the fuck cares if it is mainstream if it is cool.

[Deathcow63]

@singemajeep I like tooI but I disagree If a band is mainstream I'll usually try not to listen to them.

<can't stand to hear the same shitt for 2 years lol

[DeathLock420]

@singemajeep Most mainstream bands have sold out, like Tool, simply because they are tools.

[TheDouchesupreme]

@DeathLock420 Tool wrote 'Hooker With a Penis' for poople like you.

[DeathLock420]

@TheDouchesupreme Your name, like Tool, says it all. lol

[TheDouchesupreme]

@DeathLock420 doesn't it though, lol.

[Kantorounet]

@DeathLock420 lol hipster

[frylocdub]

@singemajeep tool are not mainstream.. they are signed to a indi label. they handle all the business of  their music.. they create the videos they make. no one produces their music or tells them how to write their songs. so really the only way they are mainstream is they have a lot of fans. hard not to have a lot of fans when you are one of the best groundbreaking bands since 1991 lol.... i guess to me mainstream is like metallica .

[Betterb93]

@frylocdub wow.... just wow...

You REALLY think a band is mainstream ONLY if they're signed to a label that you feel is mainstream? And mainstream bands can't do things themselves?

Mainstream only means that the band is well known, and alot of people appreciate them. If it is an underground and obscure band that only has like four thousand listeners, then they are NOT mainstream. A band that most people know of and like is mainstream!

[frylocdub]

so you think the definition of a mainstream band is you have a lot of fans ? that's the only stipulation? i mean tool is popular does that make em pop music? lady gaga and meatpuppets like that are what i consider mainstream. not bands that  actually push the art form of music forward and help make it evolve. and if you knew what you were talking about you would know most mainstream bands don't even write their own music .

[Betterb93]

@frylocdub

"Mainstream is, generally, the common current thought of the majority."-Wikipedia

It is the MAIN STREAM of the people that makes it mainstream, not their label...

Mainstream has NOTHING to do with what they sound like, so I wouldn't say mainstream is just pop music. I.e just because most people listen to r&b doesn't make it pop music. Yes I know that pop is short for popular music, but pop is it's own genre. Pop is this commercially recorded music that you are thinking of.

[zullone]

@frylocdub is funny how people can cosider tool mainstream....ok lets say they sound like lady gaga.....you silly ignorant.....become sussesful doesn t mean compromising all the time....tool makes the most unique and uncompromised music that sells and catch any kind of artists and normal people

[ruben12121993]

@singemajeep

indeed, people like tool because they make good music, so if you hate them because they are mainstream, you basically hate them because they make good music. and that just doesn't make any sense

[Fyrzon]

@rrotto FFFuck you...

although I like this band

[bahamuthze]

@rrotto you ignorant piece of shit, Kylesa is awesome, tool is huge. wanker. \m/

[smartarted]

@rrotto: Tool is well known, not mainstream. There's a difference, mainstream is sold out generic garbage that you hear on the radio, MTV, Fuse, and BET.

[pablo1651]

Amazing band, I love this track. Btw; Is it true are they lived at squat in Savannah with members of Baroness?

[captainortega]

this is a total copy of Tool

[travdogger]

since when did tool have a chick in the band? you dont have much of an ear for music if you think they are a total copy

[captainortega]

i said that the music is similar asshole,not the appearance ofc.tool are way more different

[Brennafugg]

I'm gonna go ahead and be the guy who say's Tool is vastly overrated and all of their music sounds exactly alike.

[geoPhaze]

hmmmm, don't get out much do you.... it is rhythmic, with some eastern influence, wow it is just like tool.... I think maybe your the tool.

[captainortega]

i think this is the stupidest thing ive ever heard (your opinion that im the tool)

[geoPhaze]

if that is the "stupidest" thing you have ever heard, then you pool of experience is just as shallow as I expected.

[captainortega]

look man,i know A LOT more than you and it was a mistake from the beginning to have heard this song. This isnt real metal. this kind of music may suit to some people and im not against it,its just not real metal.

[geoPhaze]

do you need a shovel, or are you ok to with your hands down in that hole?

[geoPhaze]

Ok I get, it, your a pantera nerd, ok all of it makes sense now, carry on, your opinion will just be ignored.

Pantera was a great band, but hardly the end all be all....

[shariotoflove]

they were much better than this band i have to say...hence why they are much better known.

[geoPhaze]

exposure/sales of a band is the easiest and the stupidest metric of a bands value/quality, and your use of it claims your stake to the ignorance shown.

[shariotoflove]

yea its also the most obvious measure...not 'metric' lol metric is all quantitative. i know its subjective...but at somewhere along the line you have to look at how successful and well known you are to settle silly disputes like this. all i can see is your ignorance towards other genres and bands.

[geoPhaze]

damn, two in one night, blanket statements are good bait. Settle a debate about this shit? It is an opinion, means nothing. The validity stops at each of our craniums.

Also, using a data point to quantify a measurement is a metric, right term, whatever.

Record sales as a measure (since you don't like metric) makes Britney spears better than tool. We both know that is not true.

I never dogged tool/pantera, their fans, yes, but not the bands. What you see is your assumption, not my ignorance

[shariotoflove]

i never mentioned record sales...i said more people prefer and/or know of pantera, rather than tool or this band. this is purely a QUALITATIVE way of measurement which is why i didnt agree with your use of 'metric'. it seems as though it would be a cop out to say it stops in our head. you have continued a discussion about this issue, yet you fall flat when i step in. the pantera fans have a right to have an opinion about this. its boring stoner rock that puts a sad clique on metal. deal with it.

[geoPhaze]

I am not sure how popularity which is quantitative can be thought of as a qualitative measure. I also never dogged pantera, saying it again. Cripes your just acting like another pantera fanboy, they where great, but not the end all be all, there is no such thing. Also basically all metal (which I like a lot of) is horribly cliched, so what? Opinions have no real value, their validity is yours alone. Deal with it. Also I do like the Paco De Lucia you have on your profile, he is amazing.

[shariotoflove]

i never get tired of that video...it really takes you away to an evening in Brazil. look, popularity is determined by opinions and tastes, so therefore its qualitative. record sales is quantitative. when gathering data, of course everything is quantitave eventually, but each criteria individually can be one or the other. and to say that metal is cliqued...would be like saying that classical music, indie, pop, hip/hop, jazz can all be cliqued as they use similar instruments and progressions.

[mk3stargazer]

What the?

[shariotoflove]

i dont just argue the toss about what punctured a fuel tank or who shags grannies, i do have other interests.

[mk3stargazer]

shariotofbrownlove try commenting on the correct video you brain dead sheep chaser.i heard you buy extra large wellies just to wedge the back feet in them so they cant run off.

get a life.

[Ghisguth]

heheheh, that was pretty much the coup de grace right there man. pwned

[Superterrestrial]

I can sort of, almost see why you'd say that if you'd only heard this song, but Kylesa is most certainly not.

[rexmaster5]

Finally someone has stepped outside of the box ! Fuck Screamo and death metal!

[saturdaynightreject]

people have been "outside the box" for a long time ... maybe it was time you looked outside the box and expirience not so popular culture ... jeez man so many bands out there!

[ElianGonzalex]

fucking ILL!!!

[paddedhead]

Now, this is $@#&ing METAL! Very good band. I like them more with each album...

[Neon25]

metal? are you for real?

[paddedhead]

none of your business if I'm real or not.....Every entity is entitled to their opinion, real or fake.... Why don't you leave a comment that relates, rather than looking for someone (or thing) to attack, just because you don't agree with their opinion......

[k90728]

Lol nice reply back.

Kylesa is fucking metal and awesome at what they do.

[klee66]

I got this song on a free CD before it was released, very nearly fucked up the speakers in my car with it. Very good song!!!

[singemajeep]

i thot it might av bn nice 2 give u a seek preview

[sinxc0re]

hey fallof go fuck yourself
