Crystal Castles Live at Studio B Brooklyn Strobes!

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

she can't sing worth a shit, I'm a big fan of their music but I still acknowledge it.

[xKikiyes]

lovet his, it's like she is singing really cool, but don't know what. and her voice is 18 years old. that's different and cool

[TheBurntMilk]

She seems like a complicated vocalist, but I would stab myself just to go to their concert.

[ovechkin100]

@TheBurntMilk yea i would prob stab you to go to their concert too. ;)

[ajpat210]

Cool video but it would have been nice if you filmed more of sexy alice

[everettvonscott]

hey look i like this band so i can think im better than other people! hurp!

[ovechkin100]

jesus... alice was only like 18 in this.

[bribarian85]

if u guys think this is good you should check out eoto. 100% improvised

[SirJazz]

drug abuse

[korey9000]

CC are the best live band i've ever seen. Fuck people who don't get it. They obviously don't need you. Alice Glass has cited Bikini Kill as an influence and i can see it!

[OdeToNecrophilia]

@korey9000 holy crap, bikini kill is some retarded feminist band XD

[alotofcheese76]

@OdeToNecrophilia are you kidding me...ugh jesus

[OdeToNecrophilia]

@alotofcheese76 so alice is a raging feminist who hates men!!!

[alotofcheese76]

@OdeToNecrophilia I hope your joking

[OdeToNecrophilia]

@alotofcheese76 why else would she be influenced by a band who's only lyrics are about feminism?

[alotofcheese76]

@OdeToNecrophilia jeez I hope your joking because feminism doesn't mean you hate men

[cramped]

Come on people, have you forgotten bikini kill for example? It's not about be pleasant for the public, it's about brutal, raw, strong and real music. If you want good singing go listen to fucking Susan Boyle.

[pointsofhonesty]

I saw them last year on new years eve, the instruments were awesome. the vocals were HORRIBLE!

[ovechkin100]

@pointsofhonesty the vocals isnt what the point is to a CC show. its about the preformance alice puts on. think about a CC show with just ethan and a drummer up there and some girl standing around but singing really well. nah id rather alice crowd surfing and yelling whatever she wants whenever she wants into that mic and worshiping what im being present too.

[pointsofhonesty]

@ovechkin100 so then why have a good recorded vocals on the album? You sir make no sense...I think they she is just lazy on with her vocals. I think there are a lot of singers out there who put on a good live show, stage presence, and have amazing vocals.

[ovechkin100]

@pointsofhonesty ok well really it all comes down to opinion. i personally wouldnt want alice to change a thing. i truely mean that. i have a hard time believing how perfect CC is to me. i love every bit of it. so lets not argue over whos opinion is right... ok ?

[dreevilliamz]

all the people that say crystal castles suck live are crazzy, and obviously havent even witnessed their greatness in person, i saw them at monster massive and it was themost amazing live performance ive seen, alice sounded great. i think they really improved live.

[ungarconspecial]

i agree. they melted my head at bonnaroo. it wasn't just the drugs, either. i have ever felt the way i did at the show. no live music has EVER affected me that way. they are fucking phenomenal. i find it strange that i follow them in an almost cultish way.

[Dltn97]

@ungarconspecial no it was because you were high

[burton1221]

I'm a huge fan of cc... but I honestly didn't like them live. They sound horrible, but all these hipsters that try so hard to fit in, that they refuse to admit it. Sorry :/

[ahordeofrebelangels]

She looks even thinner now, which is a little frightening.

[interpolny6]

Back when Studio B was raw and fun....

[SandyAvocodo]

ew that fag has a bandana on his face

[shota777]

Maybe he had swine flu and didn't want to spread it to his club-buddies.

[sakuraxxyourmom]

or maybe hes just stupid

[WafemTV]

I thought the same thing. haha

Then I read your comment.

[Andunemir]

I miss the one Sup Mag had of "Atlantis to Interzone" from the same set. That one was really mental but they had to remove it. I wish I had downloaded it then :-( .

[SyriusFerreal]

Alice is wearing trousers. I only ever see her in skirts.

[attjagorkar]

do you expect her to wear a skirt when the crowd is that near the stage? That would be kind of stupid don't you think?

[SyriusFerreal]

my comment had nothing to do with my "expectations" of Alice , don't be absurd.

It was simply and observation, however, I don't disagree that I personally, would NOT want to don a skirt when the crowd is so close, BUT I have seen Alice do it, several times over.

cheers for trying to be a dick . fail.

[sakuraxxyourmom]

ha!

[marzipin]

0:27

had a seizure

[WeskJago]

this concert looked pretty damn quiet and calm compared to the other ones i've seen...

[noTfAckiNmE]

strobooooooooo !

[miquel64]

at t in the park the entire set was strobes, it was intense

[daydreaming92]

Epic performance as ever. <3 CC

[goldenflashes13]

This would be a better video if the lights didn't keep a-flickerin'.

[mxcnprd10]

o rly ? flashing lights are awesome imo

[RedwallStudios]

i fucking love alice and her voice, she's amazing.

[SnippetChaos]

what song was this?

[nodogsonbeach]

Courtship Dating

[HepheistoBD]

Courtship Date

[AlanAlfredoSauce]

She is such a performer.

[weirdnoise44]

no one knows what they are talking about this music carries the enery and emotion it does because of her vocals i usual am not really in to this whole electronic thiong but she does it fro me , they do it for me crystal c astles <333333333

[supanekochan]

like how she just screams hehe luv em

mega energy

[iyerrrsam]

they arent the lryics even that shes singing :L

[ryan8925]

i like there music but when she sings it kinda ruins the song fer me.

[MarshaIsAwesome]

WHATTHEFUCK?

if you like singing so much go listen to some singing!!!!!!and stop posting shit on youtube

cunt

[werm277]

PPL can comment on anything they want... I hate when ppl say why do you watch it if you dont like it. PPL watch to see if they like. I welcome all opinions!! I PERSONALLY THINK CRYSTAL CASTLES IS AWSOME LOVE THEIR SHOWS AND REMIXES... But i see truth in ppls coments about ALICE GLASS' singing....Or yelling i should say.

[TrebleHowdy]

ahhhh, to see CC live !

also, if your interested, check out my vid:

Air War (animation to Crystal Castles)

[spidermonkey001]

sooo shit.

[wormwolf]

whatever. best live band i've ever seen. i go to shows every week and nothing beats CC live.

[marcovella7]

yeah man i just them acouple days ago, by far best band ive seen, and ive been to the likes of prodigy underworld and the lot.

[RammsteinLB]

@wormwolf i know one, Combichrist with strippers and andy doing lines of coke on stage, hands down most insane live performance ive seen.

[bw120205]

Yeah her live vocals never translate correctly. Mainly cause she can't really sing but on the record it works because her voice is never ultra high in the mix and they are always so processed and crushed. This just sounds irritating.

[laydownthequeen]

she can sing, listen to tell me what to swallow. and i can hear clearly what shes saying in this video, shes singing the early courtship dating lyrics.

"you said you cant read minds i saw it a thousand times till the blood pours out of my ears when the dream is gone nothing left to haunt used me for gutting the deers"

then she says the whole stove burns verse thats in the released song.

[Engra]

He is right don't be stupid, and im proboly the biggest CC fan evar. she cant sing but there recorded songs are fucking awsome.

[1audzee1]

She doesn't need to be able to "sing", that's not what their music is about. It's about the energy & the vibe and they deliver so much of that. It makes their live shows spectacular. All she needs to do is shout really, and it still sounds one-of-a-kind.

[donnyRandom]

Alice needs to distort her vocals in the live performances. They are hallow and shrill without it.

[omgfiercelawl]

Fuck, I love her voice.

[wleigh]

I'll bet the haters can't even name one single song that was sampled by Crystal Castles without looking it up on wikipedia. Ya just wanna hate. It's fun, I get it. Now get off your ass and go outside. Get out of that basement. Go discover something about reality instead of forming your own.

[charliearlie1]

Can't wait for the NME Big Gig.

[kingofnyct]

contrary to popular belief, it is far more difficult for a songwriter to recontextualize or recreate a new song out of pre-existing samples and bars than it does to create a new song from scratch. with a new song one does not have to worry about fitting all the pieces together, and melodies from those sampled songs must constantly be suppressed.

[sucktastic]

Why the christ are you filming the strobe light and the audience when you have Alice Glass standing half a meter in front of you? /boggle

[allstarcoral]

haha! (Y)

[jonkinthetonk]

Argh, shut up.

[sonicjay007]

adore them! catch their spells!.keep close!!

[LyanneAnderberg]

very clear, love it (:

[AdrianINDK]

what a fox

[antihorario]

alice is so hot

[sapphirerose666]

Music IS theft, duh.

[fuckmealex]

SHORTEST SET I HAVE EVER SEEN!

[angelicrose7]

so colorful and beautiful! Nice lights!

[xtbs7645x]

is this suppose to be good? they really should just get rid of her.

[Yacub]

Anyone here listen to Olivier Messiaen? Man I love Messiaen. Oh who's this? "Crystal Castles"? Oh mmm... This sounds like something that winds up in a bargain bin two years from now. Why do people listen to this temporary garbage? Does anyone care about Peaches these days? I mean, what is SHE up to now? Nothing. This music brings up so many questions for me about what people want from art/music. She's cute though! Nice little emo dance there.

[freejazzfree]

its called cashing in. messiaen was interested in exploring music not just making a living from his art. whereas this is antithetical in purpose. cater to the disposable culture of the day and make a few bucks.

[blahidyblahidy]

look at me, my name's yacub and i think i'm the go to on all things musical b/c i'm full of my own shit.

[feetnycam2]

cute! nice

xoxo

abbey bolton

[RedDress]

The screams arn't even theirs.....

'sampled' from HEALTH - courtship

[heymama107]

no one said they were? and its pretty obvious theyre sampled it says on the album.... along with other sample credits?

[somekindofadict]

teen wolf forever

..

i would dick her

[javoys]

great band really

[choquehouse77]

truly pathetic never seen such of a performance!!!

are their fans deaf dumb or blind or the 3 at the time ?

pretentious fakists posers hype amateur thieves

they' re really ruining electronic music with their shows and their audience suck cocks !!!

[sugarhed]

Choquehouse normally I don't respond to tools like you, but seriously expressing your hatred for crystal castles on nearly every crystal castles video on youtube suggests you really don't know how to express an opinion properly. Voice your hatred in one video, then MOVE ON- save your hatred somewhere else you fucking prick

[nantosh2]

God I can't wait for Calgary with NIN and CC...

L<3VE....

[neobahamut00001]

if peoples like music let them like it

everyone musician nowadays cannot be original due to the fact that there are peoples out thier trying to recognize it

just listen to music man

its not a fad

[choquehouse77]

most ridiculous show i've seen for years, really a performance !!! crappiest 2008 band IMHO.

plus they're unshamed stupid ignorant thieves and poseurs .

shame on Trent Reznor for inviting them on his tour ! bands like these really disgrace electronic music.

[blahidyblahidy]

well, don't you sound elitist? what should we listen to then? oh and btw what should we start wearing and eating and who should we all hang out with? maybe we should take your example and leave opinionated comments on videos of bands we don't like... shame on you for passing judgement. shame on you for complaining and whining.

[cerunkus]

Tell me what to like. PLEASE.. so you don't judge me aswell.

[cuongnhu246]

Why are you watching this if you don't like this band. No one wants to hear you bullshit about them. So fuck off and listen to something else and quit being a prick!

[choquehouse77]

Shame to all the ignorant hipsters who think that this sound is new cause this 8 bit scene is actually 7 or 8 years old and has already been hyped a lot in past years by magazines and tv . and shame for Trent Reznor for inviting this fake band (i love the real drums and keyboards on stage though the music is obviously played from a CD or laptop ) on tour. Don't believe the hype!!!

[robotsound]

poser music thiefs

[RusticNinja]

shut up, their fucking awesome

[tonisimoni8]

if crystal castles are thieves, what are daft punk then??

[robotsound]

daft punk are DJs

[tonisimoni8]

daft punk has there own song.. if you can call them own song anyway.. tha point is that crystal castles uses samples, while daft punk are propably the biggest thieves in music history (in the opinion of some of you guys)cause some of there songs or almost exact copies of other songs.. check breakwater- release the beast, and this is just one example..

anyway, i dont have anything against daft punk, they rock but my point is everybody's using sample, period.

[MightyBass101]

Daft punk gives credit to all the bands they sample from.

[cerunkus]

REALLY REALLY good theives

[MCRmauricio]

Stfu

[cerunkus]

Why?

[MCRmauricio]

Because they're the best.

[cerunkus]

Im not sure if you mean Crystal Castles or Daft punk? But i fucking LOVE both their music.

I was making a joke because someone said "If Crystal Castles are thieves, what does that make daft punk?"

But as i said.. i love them both.

[MCRmauricio]

Lol what a coincidence!

I FUCKING LOVE Daft Punk as well!

They're also the best :)

Hell, we have good music taste :D

DAFT CASTLES AND CRYSTAL PUNK FORFUCKINGLIFE

[cerunkus]

WOO!

[ZeroIsTheName]

daft punk doesnt steal their sound from a lesser know community and try to pass it off as their own. they fuck with samples to come with a great new outcome. crystal castles steal from the 8bit community hoping to get away with stealing the 8bit sound and calling it their own.

yet, if it werent for the 8bit community...crystal castles wouldnt have a sound at all...itd be a bass drum, and a little girl screaming without and textural sounds between

[jimboj917]

this whole "8-bit" thing you speak of is nothing more than a series of filters anybody could use if it fit their music's aesthetic. nobody is stealing from anybody, to claim such a thing is to question the history of music up until this point. ridiculous.

[parasite12]

good thieves of burning cars that incircle poisoned rivers,minds and hearts?

[jimboj917]

isn't that what dj'ing is?  honestly, calling these artists "thieves" is ridiculous. they knowingly sample other music, recontextualizing doesn't make you any lesser of an artist, which seems to be the case many of you are trying, but failing, to make.

[babyfacefister]

dude we're talking about sampling an entire tracks drum patterns though or the full 16 beat synth line from an artist that doesn't even get credited. most people that sample at least credit their sources fuckin thieves

[mshhsm]

according to wikipedia they never released any of the "stolen" songs.

[fishykipper]

shut the fuck up!

they're amazing!!!

[djmikedee]

Yes I agree that they are very good live, and as artists yet you need to know that they did steal some samples without permission from LoBat and Covox they are planning to sue if they don't get the samples cleared. :/ So while they may be great at sampling...they gotta sort out the legal business.

[prospectnyc]

ITs a shame they steal their music from the chiptune community (LoBat and Covox primarily)

[Rptyle]

Cool vid man. I'm gonna tape em soon as well.

[apcreed]

Damn them lights were sick.

And.. I well want to see Crystal Castles live.

[RusticNinja]

its so amazing

[lazlopazlo]

doub hes even playing the keyboard, probably playing samples from another more talented gameboy musicins tune, hmm someone like lo-bat for example.....

[patdon100]

i have a cat... nice comeback anyway dickface, good to see the fans suck nuts as much as the band

[patdon100]

wow maybe i should start a band a get a girl to talk into a microphone whilst i wank over a keyboard.....is this even music? someone told me they were good now im going to have to slap them they fucking suck balls!

[TrapYap]

you're jealous or you have "daddy never loved me" issues. whatever it is, get over it and go kick your dog like you do every morning when you wake up and realize how much you hate your gay life.

[blahidyblahidy]

Well, i think crystal castles is a great band for all the reasons that you dislike them. Also, i think it's funny that you spend your time listening to music you don't like just to leave rude comments about it. why don't you go drink a glass of shit juice and listen to whatever lame ass music you do like with your fucking cat? i hope it suffocates you while you sleep.

[dafunk84]

[supmag]

[ewrita]

[underdog000]

I ripped the sound off the video into an mp3 because i loved it that much.

If you want a copy, i can pass it along.

[ewrita]

thanks so much.

[zogeth]

[ijustsigneduptobagu]

Ohh, i saw them at Meredith music festival, i won't forget it. She haunts me now, i fuckking touched her! pretty creepy, huh?

[preciousXsmiIe]

SHE IS FUCKIN GREAT T_T

[matt69er]

They used strobes when I saw em too, theyre fucking awesome live.

[Boldtype]

I wish I had this song!!! so amazing! Is anyone going to do something about 50 cent and timbaland sampling it????? ***

[Boldtype]

I wish I had this song!!! so amazing! Is anyone going to do something about 50 cent and sampling it?????

[springynoodle]

BLOODY HELL they have stolen it aswell! The cheek!

but more importantly, when can we get our hands on this GOOD version!?

[ECn4ii]

Timbaland loves having 50cents' gorilla cock up his brown butthole. hence why he sampled such a sick keyboard.

[lovetangible]

i saw you post this in teens forum on nexopia hahah

...

well that just wasn't creepy

[aeoooonfluuux]

yes, they illegaly sampled it. thats fucking truth

[neuweldt]

this is the song 50 Cent and Timbaland illegally sampled for She Wants It. is this song out?

[swoshbuck]

song: courtship dating
