of Montreal: Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse

[turtlevader]

Love BP Helium's contribution here :)

[ressangleful]

"i really hope that she SUCK ceeds" nice.

[andrewdrury1]

Hahaha Kevin said murder instead of strangle

[adamtomita]

Hey guys, I just finished up a Bass cover of Of Montreal's "For our elegant caste" I'd really appreciate it if anyone would mind watching and possibly leaving insight. I really appreciate it in advance as i worked pretty hard on this one...

[blur1994yllw]

@camoflaugetampex

he's actually married and has children, but continue to be closed minded if you'd like

[GradeSchoolRecords]

oh the other guys that guy!! thats who he is. i know. im so specific!

[lamame]

Is that Brian from Brian Jonestown Massacre? It sure does look like him.

[kauporsk]

@lamame Nope, it's just Bryan Poole from of Montreal and The Late B.P. Helium

[SoAndZu]

@camoflaugetampex I think it was a fella called "Jobriath", but don't quote me on that. I just googled "first gay rockstar".

Glad to have helped.

[achadwick0923]

7 people are going to hell.

[Drabula]

what an awesome take on an awesome song...

[werelosingdaylite23]

Bum

[colombiacrack88]

He gave the actual interpretation of the song in an interview and I was blown away. I thought "chemicals" was a reference to drugs but there actually a reference of teh chemicals in his brain that caused him great depression. This is a very deep song and i respect this band a lot. I listen to this song to cope with a lot of stuff.

[jeffawang]

Man,. that guy on the right's such a bummer.

[tzeqin]

i hate the girly voice, but they write good stuff

[kkhonea330]

I don't understand why people don't just listen to the music, they have to look at a person and judge them. You are who you are stop coming to conclusions about people by just looking at them..

[Lanaway277]

THIS SONG IS FUCKING RETARDED ... LIKE WHAT THE FUCKKK

[kkhonea330]

@Lanaway277 Then don't listen to it, Like so totally go back to your Justin Bieber and stop polluting the internet with your idiotic comments, I doubt you understand music enough to even have the right to comment in the first place so piss off.

[Lanaway277]

@kkhonea330 your a joke

[kkhonea330]

@Lanaway277 Good.

[Sandforthewin]

@Lanaway277 Listen to the original if you don't like the acoustic

[crayonFUmo]

righteous

[chadricka]

he has a kid and a wife ya know

[SabrinaKristina1]

They win at life.

[Codyrg]

Wow...

God I hope that panterarocks guy isn't the same pantera guy from UG :haha

This is fucking horrible... I hate this indie/bullshit whatever the fuck it is crap.

And they really felt the need to bring another wank on stage to say, not sing, but say "bumbumbum" and the lalala bit?

How lame... I feel bad for my generation and younger generations that think this is music... Glorified poetry reading, maybe, but music? Never.

[lothariam]

@Codyrg Well its a lot better than the rap you listen to. Which by the way is maybe glorified poetry reading, but music? Never. You see, real music needs a melody. Oh yea, and a point.

[rollagiovanni]

thumbs up for '2, 3, 4'

[theredkatana]

he sounds like he's on the verge of tears, which just makes me love this song even more. ultimate song for cryin' in yer beer.

[emileigh39]

I was pronouncing Heimdalsgate wrong. Glad I watched this :P

[amazingvideoman2]

@emileigh39 i replayed that part like 4 times to learn it haha

[panterarocks9]

Your all just mad because he can get more pussy, and penis then all of us.

[ChewbacaChunx]

Who cares what sexuality he is, its about the music asshats.

[imgaston]

Really hope that she sucks seeds...

[Sandforthewin]

He sounds so sad...

[spanovich]

I want to have sex with Kevin Barnes. I didn't for a minute believe he was straight. Then I realized he actually is and is one of those OUTTED heterosexuals...Well...There went my hopes and dreams =(

I still love him.

And that is that.

[MrsMcKaylaNovak]

@spanovich actually, in an interview he's said that he has had sexual experiences with men. so, he's bi. So, you still have a chance.(:

I love him as well, so talented and adorable. <3

[stasiad2012]

@MrsMcKaylaNovak Is that interview on youtube? If so where?

[IcarustheAngel]

@MrsMcKaylaNovak Just because someone has had sexual experiences with other men doesn't mean he's bi...

[spanovich]

@IcarustheAngel Ummm...Wait a second...What do you define a guy having sex with another guy as then? I mean of course it's at least bi-curious. Guys don't just go around having sex with other guys, having no homosexual tendencies. See this is what's wrong with society. Ideas like this one are why straight guys think it's ok to hook up with us (drunk or otherwise) even though they are being extremely misleading, and in turn hurting us. Let's just call a spade a spade. kthnx.

[IcarustheAngel]

@spanovich The belief that you're straight or gay cradle to grave doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it. He couldn't have been curious/drunk/changed his mind since then/identify as whatever he wants/perhaps not have always identified completely as male? It's ironic that these comments are being made under an artist who questions gender so much (see "Tim, I wish you were born a girl" or his Georgie Fruit persona, for example.)  People have sex with people. Not genders. Period.

[spanovich]

@MrsMcKaylaNovak Well I mean I've heard that he was bi...or as he put it "sexually open"(something like that), of course to me that means the same thing as bi. But I also have a hard time believing bisexuality exists for real, that's a whole other conversation though. But I mean he's married (right?) and I ain't down with gettin' all up on no married man. Because...sweet Jesus that can get sloppy in the end =P

[IcarustheAngel]

@spanovich You really don't think bisexuality exists? Well, you're wrong. There's proof. It's called millions of people. But yeah getting to my other comment (youtube DOESN'T give enough space for this) I think people have the right to experiment, and to not be labeled. Furthermore many ppl who can be interested in either gender don't identify as bi for various reasons including the connotations that go with it. Or maybe they have leanings but make exceptions, etc. It's rather complicated

[darkshines0]

So would you say you'd bum bum the bum bum guy?

[Dermuszdel]

@darkshines0 His name is Bryan ^.^

[TheBrokenFrog]

bambambamabmabmabma....

[PebblesRawr]

i love how from "succeeds" he throws in how he throws in how he follows the "thorny path".. like, seeds and thorns.. ahah xD

[altramegachicken]

that is because kevin is genius that way.. all of his music has that element..

[shutupandxplay]

"she sucks seeds"...

[Aaron222PM]

[seepmonster]

[Cassafinn]

He looks so sad. There is a deep sorrow lodged in the corners of his eyes.

[supergooseberry]

i hope you don't have a dildo lodged in your ass (not serious, just venting)

[loveisallloveisnew]

hahahaha

[mrsmcgregor]

kevin barnes is god.

[daylightsdeath]

i love these accoustic versions

they're so nice

i'm so confused about how to pronounce the name of this song

[ChanceCooper125]

I believe it's

Hem dels gat ay

That's close anyway.

[daylightsdeath]

that's kinda what i thought

but here

it sounds like

heim dols gat o

i'm not sure if it's just because he's talking fast, or if that's how it's actually supposed to be

[HojoOSanagi]

@daylightsdeath

It's Hyme-dahls-gahtuh. Heimdal is a guy's name and gate means street in Norwegian.

[VV998877]

Come on, chemicals! Happy new year ev´ry bodies!

[ScriptedHappiness]

This is so so cute.

I think I might like this better than the non-acoustic version.

Bryan is hilarious.

And Kevin is absolutely adorable.

Like always.

[thewindtypesfast]

great thing about writing the song- you can change the lyrics!

hahaha

amazing.

[wafflehouseco]

bum bum bum bum bum bum lol

[ssarianna]

i love kevin cause he doesn't just sing, everytime he makes his performances art by not portraying anything but being present in his song so.

[lolwriter]

AWESOME version.

[abangelsx21]

FUCKIN AMAZING

[anulhyf34]

i know, how does he say that w/o laughing??

[xXHALOxCHiCKXx]

HAHA i was thinking the same thing.

lol he's awesome

[voltaiccrusher19]

mannequin nipple buffet?

oh, kevin, how i love you :)

[HereComesTheIndians]

Good song-writer. Lame person. Needs to go back to his friend's apartment.

[xXHALOxCHiCKXx]

wow

kevin is a very successful person. what have you done with your life ? um commenting mean comments about people that actually are doing something they love to do and do a great job at. your just jealous of him. and btw you need to get off your ass and stop saying shit about youtube videos you dont like. cuz your the lame person for wasting your time doing that. not kevin. get my point? yeah good. fuck you

[xXHALOxCHiCKXx]

that was for HereComesTheIndians

by the way ahha i wasnt talkin to you guys

[GeorgeGallimore93]

halo chick, you are sad because not only your comment but your name is a video game and your girl and claim you like of montreal which really doesn't add up

[wildlimes]

fuck you big time

[hrhlynn]

Where in the hell did you learn grammar; I must know so that I don't send my own kids to that school. Anyway, OM are the best- bum bum bum bum, Bryan

[jehuty8]

yeah, of montreal is actually very successful. and kevin is 90% of the creative and driving force for them. 90% isnt an exaggeration either... the others basically show up and do when theyre instructed lol

[hayls22]

hahaha kevin's so clever.

i have hugged and conversed with both of these men<3

[cocainemeerkat]

the dude with the chops is badass

[awesomemagician]

mannequin nipple buffet... 20% off.

hahaaaaa

[cherieisamazing]

hahaha he says 2...3..4... a well!!!

[HomocidalTree]

I like how that guy with the mutton chops's sole purpose is to go "bum bum bum bum".

[catfishwalrus]

i don't like this version nearly as much. without the original music it just seems really emo and not quirky.

[DunceProductions]

he totally wrote the song

[CheapThrillzz]

i need the tabs!!!!

[WeAreUnicorns]

i love this version.

[Namikagekun]

manikan nipple defeh? (cant spell) :3

[floydhead1491]

nipple buffet

[Namikagekun]

the hell?

[Tepid09]

of Montreal has a history of fucking with people who interview them, or sometimes with their audiences. Kevin wrote the song, he's just being a silly goose head.

[Namikagekun]

XD..

[goobertay]

he wrote the song about his drug addiction and how he was hoping that nina would save him...in his fight versus the addiction...i think she won

[harusume]

actually its about his battle with depression. chemicals are seratonin in this case

[hayls22]

i dont know why those comments didnt go under replies..

but the "not at all" was directed at that he doesnt look like jim carey.

and the "is it supposed to be a pun?" was directed at the SUCKseeds thing

[alexchisholm]

they're fucking fabulous!

[scalesey92]

they seem nervous.

[stereosymmetry]

Anyone know where I can download this and the other acoustic songs?

[dap04yt]

hey remember that time kb looks eggsactly like jim carrey? i do

[hayls22]

not at all

[thevoodoowop]

the best song about bipolar disorder..ever

[Nera12345]

I just love the way he sais... "Nina twin is trying to help and I really hope that she SUCKseeds."

[boss1tweed]

Yeah, whats up with that?

[dcmagirlxoxo]

Yeah i noticed that, he made it so obvious lol. he looks so unhappy singing it, its so sad! im glad they made up eventually :D

[Nera12345]

Yeah... he does look sad, but this is one of the best songs ever and this is the best way to sing it. I'm glade they made up too. :D

[dcmagirlxoxo]

Definitely! as in the best way to sing it. its absolutly brilliant hes got such a great voice, its like its not effort for him to sing at all, like its not forced. :D

[hayls22]

is it supposed to be a pun?

[Nera12345]

I don't really know. But I think it's awesome if it's supposed to be a pun. It fits in with the lyrics so well.

[Sevouligg]

I prefer the acoustic.

[Kidblinks]

I like the acoustic versions a lot better.

[TORATechnoNerd]

XD

of montreal is beast

[ozmaweezerman]

of Montreal IS beast!!

[thevoodoowop]

THIS IS SO FUCKING AMAZING.

i love this song, it's really deep, and this acoustic version makes me tear.

[guitarmanbenjamin]

i like this allot. neone who doesn't respect this acoustic version of the song shouldn't even be commenting here. it takes a really good song to be stripped down like this and still sound amazing. so please. just get a life.

[Bigbobo33]

Especially a song that uses heavy synths.

[Tepid09]

i almost like this better than the original. but nothing beats this song live.

[Aerina83]

Acoustic versions of their songs sound, in my view, even better than original ones

[ozmaweezerman]

I agree. I totally love their acoustic version of The Past is a Grotesque Animal

[imnotsosuredawg]

The way his songs on this version makes the song sound very eighties. I love it.

[r00zter]

❤

[AtomicMango]

I wish he sang as high as he does with the nonacoustic version.

[Barnard17]

I doubt he can reach that high without some post-performance electronic alteration.

[AtomicMango]

Then I only love an electric Kevin.

[kaizokku]

really really niceee

[KAPAsuchar]

I really like this song, but in this version Kevin sings sooo out of tune :(

[TheBuickSixes]

he doesn't do too bad, but Brian has a little trouble in the beginning
