Between the Buried and Me - 'Sun of Nothing' (LiveDVD)

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

i never heard of this song until the first time i saw these guys live. then when i heard everyone singing at 7:54, i knew that these guys were the perfect band

[BLACKDAHLIADAVID]

3:32 you joker lol

[kingofthecloset67]

i like it when people listen to btam for the first time and they can't explain what it is they are listining to. Thanks btam for the great music!! And a tip for people, make sure you have good speakers so you can hear btam's amazing songs in all their detail, trust me its worth it.

[THOMAStheRev]

this song is one of the best out there.

[shybalabadingfongSH]

6:56 is the best part. I love these guys <3

[azndrumr]

Who the hell disliked this video? Get outta here wid dat!

[lextasyy]

7:54... I get the chills every god damn time

[pikelesdenagar]

Pinche canción más hermosa. Sin duda mi favorita de BTBAM.

[TheMightyEcurb]

I'll probably catch some hell for this, but honestly, it wasn't until Colors that I became a BTBAM fan. The Silent Circus was alright, Alaska had a couple of good tracks, but Colors really combined it all for me. And since then, they've been taking my brain all sorts of places its not supposed to be.

[subwaymeltorgasm]

@TheMightyEcurb

"taking my brain all sorts of places its not supposed to be" I LOVE that quote. awesome.

[phreestylesk8r]

7:15 is a cool shot

[EnjoiSweatshopMoney]

I didn't like metal until I head this album for the first time

[kennyhurd01]

one of the best bands EVER! enough said

[ecidarrac2]

Genius, can't think of any other words

[VSHawkins]

i'm floating towards the sun. the sun of nothing.

i've become the sun of nothing.

[eyeheartmusicc]

EPIC!

[Severusoul]

The quiet break at 7:52 - 8:24 -- Absolute Bliss -- I'm floating toward the sun. It's so powerful I teared up a little bit :..)

[blndsk4]

lol its like theres no point in trying to write riffs nowadays, btbam has already made them all.

[Monkdaddy]

This is easily one of the best. Spine chilling musicianship.

[RaulWalrus]

I'm floating towards the sun...

[RaulWalrus]

Floating towards the sun...



[Progurlife]

Powerful !

[Robertpianosax]

I'M IN SPACEEEEEEE

[bylertrown]

This is my favorite song from my all time favorite band from my all time favorite album! BTBAM is amazing..

[TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

this is probably my second favorite song from these guys, right after swim to the moon.

[TheTelefony]

@TheDonkeyFLOPPER Those are my two favorite songs ._.

[Xaxaar]

@TheDonkeyFLOPPER Swim to the Moon was the worst track off The Great Misdirect, and The Great Misdirect wasn't nearly as good as Colors. This is also the best track off Colors, so yeah, obviously disagree with that statement.

[TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

@Xaxaar

obviously ignorant.

great pointless comment, bro

[Xaxaar]

@TheDonkeyFLOPPER Mmm...thanks?

[keefers211]

this song gives me goosebumps...

[ChablesMan]

Nothing will ever touch Colors

[robertjm194]

i see the borderland tag reference

[EnjoiSweatshopMoney]

This album, this song in particular, single-handedly got me into hardcore metal

[jthendrix]

hOOOO YEAH FUCKIN CRAP MY SHIT!!!!

[IICHAZII]

i say lyrics especially with prog music like this should evolve with the mindset of the writer. so if he did change them let him, this music is for him to express not for you to critique.

[gaara1303]

this song is a fucking masterpiece

[TheresPooOnMyShoe]

This needs more sex. yes.

[Scracar]

"Im floating towards the sun" with everyone singing along literally sent chills down my spine!

[IrishTsunami76]

Love to see the drummer get laid...offbeat sex turns on the ladies..

[ecidarrac]

3:00 onwards, the drumming :O

[ProYiffer]

I wish the vocalist would do more clean vocals, his scratchy, annoying growls are the only thing I dislike about his band.

[anotherboringguy]

Utterly gorgeous piece, truly. One of the only songs out there that sends me into a proggasm with sheer beauty, alone. The softer sections of this track will stick with me until the day I die. This entire album, the entire masterpiece, will remain high in my standards for a VERY long time. Long live Between the Buried and Me, and may they continue to make masterpieces for years to come.

[DilutedJuice]

This is up there with Selkies and Mordecai.

[ToTameACow]

@DilutedJuice Fucking good song.

[callelindberg]

im floating the sun,

the sun of nothing

oh sry it got stuck in my head...

[BtArocks3133]

Man, I feel like this song is kind of underrated, or at least not as popular as the others. It's brilliant!

[InducedLlama]

@BtArocks3133

man! I've been thinking the exact same thing for months now! every once in a while I come back to watch the live vid and wonder, why does no one give this song the credit as all the others?? its beautiful

[baconbag]

@BtArocks3133 Oh yeah. If you play guitar, check out the chord progression @8:52, it's mind boggling. I'm trying to learn music theory, I saw that, and it all went to hell. Brilliant music composers.

[LMTR14]

@BtArocks3133 how the fuck would one of their best be underrrated

[BtArocks3133]

@LMTR14 I feel like people pay way more attention to the genius of White Walls and Ants of the Sky, and this song is kind of lost in the album. They don't play it live nearly as frequently as others, though that might have had something to do with their old label.

[LMTR14]

@BtArocks3133 well since they never tour Europe (I guess) and aren't bootlegged at all, it doesn't matter much what they play live

btw I for one don't really notice where one track ends and another starts with this album ;-)

[iAutodidact]

@BtArocks3133 Before I got a new iPod, it was the most-played song on my iTunes. It was at 240 and something, and the next highest was Foam Born A and B, around 210 apiece. :)

[adam9nsb]

@BtArocks3133 fav song on colorz

[Guitar3034]

No words to describe this amazing band. I wish there were.

[InducedLlama]

Truly one of the greatest bands ever. The build up from 8:26 - 8:43 is absolutely amazing. Tommy is an epic front man! Pure rockstar

[gotmeagrape]

Selfishness is a very sticky quality of this species. Looking around... I don't see any faces... yes I am lonely. It's to be expected. I'll sleep now.

Best. Band. Evar.

[Sawstinker]

best tags ever.

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

damn, these guys are so fuckin amazing

[ThaBukkow]

This is just so spot on fantastic. I think I have never seen such a good live preformance, really impressed!

[666godofmetal]

9:37-9:47 The most amazing thing I have ever heard. Fuck it, every second of every one of their songs is the most amazing thing I have ever heard.

[sunn0324]

I like the deployment of this song from 6:50

[sunn0324]

I like the deployment of this song from 6:50

[kpillo4]

3:30 EPIC WIN

[Zantiln]

480p is not HQ

[TheGuyNamedHenryG]

I really need to see these guys live. Like, now.

[explosionthe19th]

"A spaceman, a spaceman"

Holy crap I love his live clean vocals

[swollgates311]

bad ass man

[TapdancingAmelus]

I love Between the Buried and Me; their songs are so long they can only fit two songs on a disk!!! hahahhahahaha.

[dienonbeliever]

my favorite part everything after 7:49..so epic

[blackiechan231]

love the musical talent ... cant understand the words at all lmao ... the guy is so passionate about it though ... lolz

[dontbecomplainin34]

everything about this band is good.

[TheRealPV2Ryan]

A SPAAAAACE MAAAANNNN!!!!!!! That's what I am motherfuckers.

[avafreak252]

almost sounds like an overdub I guess they're that good

[xScuzzleButtx]

Btbam has the strange, uncanny power to give you orasmic chills

[HiPPoKryPtiC]

@xScuzzleButtx yeah, i havent had that from another band yet.. still waiting. man they fucked with my hearing

[666Metalgods666]

03:30 Dan briggs looks like Paolo Gregoletto from Trivium :P

[JezusPabloCarrilloLe]

This is like BREASTS!

[just4n07h3rd00d]

3:27 is perhaps this song's crowning moment. I have no idea why I love it so much.

[joshbeau]

saw them two days ago, fucking UNREAL show!

[Anetard]

i love the bass line at 3:28 :D

[chickenfish6]

its amazing there better live then in studio and they dont really change any of there songs thats true just pure talent

[filma06]

I love how BTBAM can switch from metal, to something so soft it sends chills down my neck, such amazing talent.

[skateazoid123]

i like 5:52

[peaceman999]

lol, screw the one guy who doesnt like this

and thnx for the upload!!

[garche21]

Cant fucking wait to see this song live tonight in Barcelona!!

[unclesam6]

vocal harmonization at 9:04 gave me extra large goosebumps.

[renegade220]

All hail BtBam, quite possibly the best band ever.

EVER.

[DISGUISEDPOISON]

i'm floating towards the sun, the sun of nothing <3

[DanPlaysGuitar14]

laa laa laa laa laa la laa laa

[jjstreet4]

man....wtf is he saying!? the lyrisc at 5:11 arent what hes saying on the album. i hate it he forgets/changes the lyrics up live. hes done that with other songs too. doesnt make sense

[ADyingSunRB]

Perhaps he ....fuhgot?

[mstwntd69]

@ADyingSunRB well with how amazing of a vocalist Tommy Rodgers is it doesn't matter. And I'd assume he's great at improving too. Thanks for the upload. do you have any of the fan requests oyu can upload?

[unclesam6]

@ADyingSunRB perhaps this band is so fucking good, that even if he isn't saying the right things, it's correct. no matter what.

[jjstreet4]

@ADyingSunRB perhaps. i dont think so. i think he just does it for the lulz. no joke. i mean playing the same song over and over. ur gonna wanna change tiny little things in it. just ilke how blake rips it live and does awesome fills that arent on the album. its dope

[shoulderkolibri]

@jjstreet4 Maybe he... Doesn't give a damn? Lol XD

[jjstreet4]

@shoulderkolibri prob not. sucks that i do though. kinda wish he did too. but hey whatever right? lol

[failguitarlol]

@jjstreet4 yeah, it IS a pretty long song, haha

[jjstreet4]

@failguitarlol yep........it is.

[Hamgammy]

@jjstreet4 who cares? tonnes of bands change the lyrics live

[jjstreet4]

@Hamgammy i care. my friends care. when we go see them live and are into the songs and are singing along to it we sound like dumbasses when hes sayin some shit that isnt there. im not cryin over it but it hits a nerve every once in a while. especially because it doesnt make sense.

[caughtnthesnares1]

@jjstreet4 you're an idiot. He made one little mistake in the whole song. And I didn't even hear it. Just enjoy the damn music and shut the fuck up

[jjstreet4]

@caughtnthesnares1 wow nice one. turn a non hostile situation into one. good job. feel good about urself. also. sorry you cant hear. and i never said he made a mistake but he does change the lyrics. again. i wasnt crying over it. simply saying tommy has a habit of changing the lyrics to some songs whent hey are played live. get over it.

[caughtnthesnares1]

@jjstreet4 no its not even that. I'm just tired of all you holier than thou motherfuckers getting on here and trying to act like you could do any of the shit that Btbam does on stage. A band as amazing as they are doesn't deserve and scrutiny from anyone. I could honestly give two fucks if Tommy changes or messes up the lyrics. Hes goddamn amazing. All of the them are amazing. Just enjoy.

[QuestyonMark]

@caughtnthesnares1 "A band as amazing as they are doesn't deserve scrutiny from anyone."

Wrong. Nobody is so good that they are infallible. Every musical group can and must receive criticism. That kind of quote-end-quote holier than thou thinking has to stop. And it has nothing to do with what the critic can or cannot do themselves, that's what separates the critic from what is being critiqued.

[nanthil]

@jjstreet4 at least hes got the confidence to look like he knows what he's doing even when he forgets. He's got the best stage presence of any vocalist i've seen live.

[dpierce321]

@nanthil You should see mike hiranca then...

[nanthil]

@dpierce321 yeah seen him live. great show too, Idk i prefer tommy

[jjstreet4]

@nanthil wow ppl lol. come on. i LOVE btbam more than anything. im not bitching about it. just simply pointing out that he does it a bit frequently and wondered if there was a reason behind it. i love his stage presence live. he getst he crowd so hype. and of course he knows what hes doing. hes f*ckin tommy

[jjstreet4]

@nanthil oh hell yeah. he always gets the crowd f*ckin hype lol. love his energy. and pauls too. and dans. fuck lol all of em

[PerpetualBurnFan]

@jjstreet4 Half the songs are 10 minutes plus lets see you remember every single lyric.

[jjstreet4]

@PerpetualBurnFan i do. dont all big fans remember most if not all the lyrics to their fav. bands songs? i do

[JurakaF]

@jjstreet4

remembering and entire album's worth of singing AND keyboarding isn't that easy, especially when playing live with no breaks and intense movement, even if you wrote it. just saiyan

[jjstreet4]

@JurakaF oh i agree dude. not disputing the difficulty at all. what he does, i think, is just downright amazing

[metalking87]

@jjstreet4 no actually he does change some on purpose live.. like i forgot what song but it also says what he sings live. which is cool becuase he kinda tells what he means hah

[fuckthamedia]

pretty sure he knows the lyrics prolly just changes them up he did write it haha.

saw them live acouple months ago everything was spot on. better than the video

[jjstreet4]

@fuckthamedia i did too. one of the best concerts ive ever been to. he is always so damn good live. hell they all are. they must be wizards lol

[TheRouxdg]

@jjstreet4 yeah maybe he forgot, but its freakin hard for this guy cuz their songs are 10minutes long EACH (or if you want they just NEVER STOP) so yeah its freakin hard for him

[jjstreet4]

@TheRouxdg hey no i get that. its def. hard to play, sing, and remember these songs. idk i guess it just kinda weirds me out when the guy who wrote it and the guy who is asking the crowd to sing along is, at times, singing the wrong lyrics. lol just find it funny. it in no way takes away from their live performance in any way. i still watch this video way too many times lol.

[al0tlikevegas]

@jjstreet4 you gotta think, how many songs do they have? fuck, i couldnt remember all of them, especially on stage with all the lights and cameras. im just glad he didnt stop singing and improvised haha. favorite song ever

[jjstreet4]

@al0tlikevegas oh i agree lol. would of been silly for him to stop singing. but at the same time they know their set list before they play. they rehearse the songs before hand. thats all im saying...lol. but its silly. idk why it bothers me so much. anywho keep rockin. heres to watching this 100 more times

[FootballnSoccer]

@jjstreet4 I know you've already made your piece, but Im just going to throw this in there, as a metal vocalist, its very fucking tiring. I've had a handful of times where I forgot my lyrics, kept the concept of the song in my lightheaded head and made up some words on the fly, keeping the melody. Its kind of fun lol.

[jjstreet4]

@FootballnSoccer hey a new perspective is pretty awesome. it must be fun on stage and i bet it gets a bit hectic and words get lost. lol reminds me of adam d from killswitch add-libing stuff on stage.

[SpRoAtMEALWiThMiLk]

@jjstreet4 They're his songs, his lyrics. He can do whatever the fuck he wants at his show.

[jjstreet4]

@SpRoAtMEALWiThMiLk damn straight he can. hoorah for you to point that out. not "his songs" by the way. and u know what i mean. he can literally gibber into the mic and i would still enjoy the fuck out of that song. doesn't mean i wont question why or how he did it. it's interesting to me. when i meet him i will ask him. and if he says cuz i forget them shits, then i will say wow that sucks but ok dude. keep it metal. and that'll be the end of that. :)

[LAfant619]

@jjstreet4 who honestly gives a fuck dude. the lyrics are always good

[jjstreet4]

@LAfant619 :( i do. and yes they are. although i am more a fan of the lyrics on TGM instead of Colors. though both are great.

[Pirawt]

@jjstreet4 I have to say, the part he 'forgot' is one of the favourite things in the song for me xD

[bru16]

@jjstreet4 he wrote them he can do what he wants

[Bobsikus]

from 6:00 to end :D great song :)

[ameliorate2695]

@Bobsikus how bout...0:00 to 10:20. thats a great song

[Bobsikus]

@ameliorate2695 yeah that part too :D

[hughh20]

7:44 Is that the mental image you get when you hear that?

[CYbrosis7]

'prog' is sufficient in describing them, they are way too dynamic to throw into any set sort of genre.

[drumsforever101]

all of pink floyd smiles upon this

[RockOnBand]

this song give me an orgasm at every 3 sec

[RuckerTheTiger]

This song is a musical orgasm.

[RockOnBand]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ThePrutrude]

0:04-10:20 is the best part.

[fatboys100]

more like 0:02-10:20 that drum fill at the beginning just absolutely amazing

[GarghFever]

@ThePrutrude Lol :)

[Claggy]

@ThePrutrude Why would you exclude the intro drums? >_>

[Hamgammy]

@Claggy they dont want ppl to see how he does it LOL

[V0NAGE1]

The first time i heard this song tears came into my eyes its so amazing... i absolutely love it.

[benoz11]

Also, bassist looks like that little guy out of the matrix. CANNOT BE UNSEEN. great song

[piebeforedawn]

Cypher?

[0zwy]

If you ever get a chance to see this band live, do it. Without hesitation. Out of all the metal (or whatever they are) I've seen, they had the tightest and most interesting show. Other bands to see: Necrophagist and Psyopus.

[xXTOdoubleDXx]

i agree BTBAM is beast live. saw em on halloween, the first show in which they played the great misdirect it was so good.

[ameliorate2695]

i never get tired of this song

[JimboWizbo]

More songs like this plz btbam, nice balance of carnage, instrumental and singalongs

[haltrman93]

I first saw this/commented a few months ago and this song definitely grew on me since then. I admire the lead singer a shitload though. To scream his heart out for over 8 minutes total and switch from that to a softer, sweeter tone and still have a beautiful voice... Damn good vocalist.

Still have yet to give Opeth a listen.

[benoz11]

@haltrman92

Opeth are great, a lot different to this but have a very nice balance of death metal and very awesome "medieval" sounding acoustic sections.

[haltrman93]

Yea, once I get into this uber heavy metal I kind of lose what genre it is. Something like Metallica I just call heavy or trash metal but I don't know what to categorize this, haha. As for medieval sounding sections, my favorite as of this moment would have to be "Fight Fire With Fire" by Tallica. Couldn't even explain why I like it, I just do :)

[benoz11]

Sometimes its hard to categorise the better bands because they have influences from too many genres to name. Like the Polka bit at 3:30 in this song lol LA LA LA LA LALALA LA LA LA LA LALALA lol

[benoz11]

Not saying metallica aren't great cause i love them too lol

[alexprincel]

@haltrman93 This would be considered prog metalcore I think.

[AlexbassISR]

Wouldnt really call it metalcore, but its hard to put these guys under specific genres

[RockOnBand]

for me thisa genre is hard metalcore prog

[AllyySixtySix]

wtf does that even mean?

[blakecard]

soooo much fun to play on the drums

[BloqMaCr]

@blakecard seems fun to play any of the instrument! Magnificent! I'm totally learning this one on guitar!

[kcikyourass789]

too much talent 4 1 band.but u gunna do i love them BTBAM!!

[ameliorate2695]

my favorite song

[undyingdarkness610]

what a great band..

[WhiteWalls75]

for some reason i get a sun of nothing vibe when i listen to disease injury madness, the brutal intro, the western riffs, the awseome higher pitched parts and soothing soft breaks...

[asharp12]

im gunna be honest. i like colors much more than the great misdirect. its still amazing tho. i cant tell any direct riffs from colors. its so much different.

[relnejem]

wow , great song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ronmars1114]

epic
