Pinback - "Fortress"

[LosersIncorporated]

This song is just extraordinary. It makes me want to cry, it's so beautiful.

[crookedwiretap89]

thumbs up if you're eddie murphy 

[propainscottw]

if you like pinback, check out team sleep. team sleep is a combo of pinback and the deftones.

[sirSHREDalot802]

a couple years ago i saw this vid on the TV and I was like WHAAA O.o

[javierchanart]

GUTA!

[msraggedyaint]

sort of as broken bells genre'

[msraggedyaint]

this is very creative will look on lyrics to see what they are singing

[mamuburaa]

When I stumbled upon this song my only fear was I wouldn't like their other songs. But nope, this band rules!

[leopardspots2004]

If this song were a woman, I'd go lesbian.

[Steven1000W]

I agree HERB!!

[YouSnoozeULoose]

like if you came here from watching the custom 35

[baad0501]

Expected the great music, but did not expect the great music video! +1 Bonus!

[autarol]

so fucking cool song

[beer94]

i used to think this was just another nice song back in the day, but now that i hear it again it sounds amazing. today's mainstream sucks ass

[Bayplaces]

240p you say? Buy the CD I say 

[kingjohnIII99]

ill punch a baby everytime anyone dislikes this

[themothche]

@kingjohnIII99 25 babys are now dead

[HugeHungryHippo1]

@themothche 2,188 more have just been conceived

[ErciMc]

@kingjohnIII99 do you have a baby maker machine or something like that? or will you punch the same baby over and over again? I know i baby maker machine but it takes 9 months to make at least one baby. xD I just think the idea of punching a baby every time someone disilikes this video is illarious.

[lookitslucas]

eargasm...

[smartiismart]

trippy ass video... high as fuckk

[SuareZSkateboards]

OOWOP PROMO !!!

[whatwouldgjdo]

They cut out the "Safe as a cutie wootie witchoo" part! that's my favorite part!!!

[ghghghggfgffgtp0]

@whatwouldgjdo It's still there at 1:53

[alguemquertc]

240p...

We met again =/



[SineFractal]

@alguemquertc shitty cliche comment, we meet again.

[mistymollohan]

@SineFractal this vid is rad

[Wodkahlicious]

Ohh 240p, so we meet again.

[159awesome]

I like the old man chucking seeds (y)

[wizenhiemr]

interesting how his musical progression over the years has gone as down-hill as his protege's. What's wrong with being.."grungy"? I don't care if it doesn't sell..maybe he should find a new job.

[DorkyN3rd]

Are those unicorns?!?

[Sabine1776]

Perfect groove, perfect atmosphere...

[LordZerathustra]

yeah, feeling it....

[number300933]

this video is truely a work of art beautifly crafted 

[Yeavonne]

Soooo sick!

[TiffanyRoyaleS]

Break it down, solders.

Break it down.

[rlee64]

I listened to this song a couple weeks ago . . . now our band is covering it. Love singing this . . . .

[wehatevegetables]

Nobody move...

[magiclongboardist89]

This was the first song that I listened to after I broke up with my girlfriend. It added a little light to my day.

[bongolese87]

Stop fighting and start listening to some good music - go look up Castlecomer.

[RolloTheApollo]

YouTube tourists, if you look below you'll see two idiots arguing. Typical YouTube.

[nintendiehard]

Interesting video. Like the style, but it seems to be an unresolved story.

Good song, one of my favorites by this band so far cos I just recently heard of them. I'm pretty sure I'll like em'.

One thing though.

DON'T THUMBS UP A COMMENT LIKE, "I love you Pinback!"!

Really? That's worth a thumbs up? Are you so lazy you can't type out something similar to a four-word sentence?

Sigh....

Okay, enough of that. Carry on.

[Imoutatthepictures]

@nintendiehard Hmm I usually don't do this but, I'm just not sure I understand. Why would you say a story has to be resolved? And why is it it bad if people support other people supporting this band?

[nintendiehard]

@Imoutatthepictures

Would that you'd stuck to your usual habits. BUT, I'll be civil about this at least.

The way the story was set up, it seemed that there should have been SOME sort of resolution, aside from the death of all of their soldiers. It's not that I feel every story warrants one, I just felt it incomplete.

As for the second issue, I just don't believe a comment so simple deserves such high praise. It merely annoys me to see such a pervasive lack of originality.

[tagurallit]

@nintendiehard

ok, be civil. this MUSIC VIDEO for a SONG seems to be fine with a resolution of an ending, and i have no complaints, but just to make you happy, how about they release a sequel with another hour of music and dancing soldiers and shit that doesn't mean anything?

oh, and also. it's fucking funny that you think thumbs up on youtube means shit, LOL

[IRACourageWolf]

@nintendiehard SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE FUCKING MUSIC

[Stickydank9mm]

they're not big cause you can't play them at a club or party. sorry but majority vote of mouthbreathers wins the big bucks. our devils' immortality is shortlived, but not as short as our saints'. and yeah this has gotta be the only pinback song i like moderately, nearly every other gave me chills the first time i heard each song. long live sgt Pinback! Oh, wait...

[MyChemicalBromance]

Awesome video.

[SkyStarSystem]

music is just like candy throw out the rappers

[FeudalMoon]

@SkyStarSystem very good statement.

[zcrist22z]

thumbs up if you are also intriged by the way the soldiers hold theyr swords

[DangTheWang12]

@leopardspots2004 well, I don't know, listen to Radiohead 90's stuff, The Getup Kids, Voxtrot... there are components of all this in them, plus more. At any rate, I said slightly generic, so relax dood. I didn't say, this music sucks or anything troll like, I responded to a post.

[DangTheWang12]

well... there are several reasons this band isn't huge. There songs are slightly generic.

[leopardspots2004]

@DangTheWang12 are you KIDDING me? generic how?

if you mean 'vague' that makes sense. its hard to understand most of their songs. But Pinback is anything BUT generic. Its the opposite of generic!

[Neonaxii]

I just don't understand why they're not HUGE.

Their music is so genuine. ;___;

[fetallica1]

y am I repeating this song ? :D

[MegaCheese48]

love this song needs to be in better sound quality tho

[leopardspots2004]

@MegaCheese48 I dont think the audio quality can get any better than how it is already. video, maybe.

[HERBanlegand]

If this song was a man I'd go gay

[Hartz323]

@HERBanlegand if i were gay and this song was a woman id go straight

[adaraquel]

Dear god... this song has been stuck in my head for about 2 days now.

Not that I'm complaining, but you can imagine how hard it is to try to focus in studying for a test when all I have in my head is this song.

Still... awesome song! =)

[TheSockerConny]

This song is sooo good!

[xxjoni23]

how can this have 25 dislikes? SERIOUSLY?

[vinsanity0150]

when i first heard this song it really blew me away. What a great song

[lyenlion]

Man...

[murodc]

[Rshotii]

[carmene626]

[Fairorth100]

[Mirkostudio]

Mirko Saltalamacchia - Fotosints Clorophilla

[bradMi80]

Saw them in Ann Arbor they rocked.

[ecj777]

Video reminds me of King Christian, by Mew.

[TheJakwak]

Chonny brought me here

[MonCoeurBatPourDavid]

@TheJakwak Hey JJ. Guess who.

[zurton]

[CourtneyFlynn93]

[eppayerp]

so simple yet so perfect!

[Suunnybear]

@YumSkunk Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam WONDERFUL SPAM LOVELY SPAM

[Bayplaces]

Oh my lord, last night I went to a Pinback concert and during this song Rob Crow jumped down into the crowd while singing and it was just an overall great show. So many good memories about that, and I was thrilled to be able to hear 2 hours of live Pinback. It was fantastic

[chuby1tubby]

For some reason I've listened to this like 15 times in a row now.... lol

[xrcjpx]

I like this...the beginning guitar sounds like "Pell Mell"...simple but unusual. cool!

[peepeawily]

I love you Pinback!

[TheChpts]

King Christian

[xCheezyNoodlesx]

This video is really artistic and this song is awesome :)

[autumnfair1]

Sounds like an audio tapestry . . .

[fallenangel122195]

this song has alota feeling

[chuby1tubby]

I absolutely don't understand this video.

[1134hell]

@chuby1tubby I always figured this video was portraying one's suicidal mind. One day everything is fine and things are well... then something happens and they separate themselves from everything(part where the ground cracks). Eventually going to war with themselves. when all the shit and chaos is over everything goes back to being fine. That is how I interpret it... but really it may have a different meaning to someone else. Its all how you look at it I guess.

[ChesterTheGuitarist]

This song is absolutely outstanding.

Btw.

/watch?v=1n9mEhW3-GE

If you have some time for my instrumental indie rock music. Take care!

[coolbambooguy]

original custom 35

[TorturedByStupid]

i find that your genetic dispostions is a big deal. For example, its not have easy for me to have such amazing DNA forged from billions of yrs of chaos, while somehow some of you evolve like total tards while breeding like a bad infection. its more than race, its genetics!

")

[noobspice]

ive listened to this song for what, 6 years now? and i still dont understand this song.

[grim2o0o0]

@noobspice No one does. nor will anyone ever. Thats the point of the song. its not the words its the feeling and chemical disruption of your brain that makes you come back for more. Its better than meth :)

[fetallica1]

y am i replaying this song ? :)

[TheAwesomeness42]

@fetallica1 because its awesome

[fetallica1]

@TheAwesomeness42

yes indeed :)

[evilconcarne444]

Amazing



[funkymonks04]

my fav pinback song

[Schnippshly]

Well damn that sure is a depressing video. Also the quality is really ass.

[benbella0405]

Listening to this song is like getting punched in the face by a fist consisting entirely of awesome.

[emmjay906]

Love this band so much. Proud to come from the same city :)

[hillbillyradicalrick]

Did Spoon rip off the melody riff here for Don't You Evah?

[leopardspots2004]

@hillbillyradicalrick wah? how? the two songs are in two totally different worlds of awesomeness!

[placebo525]

@hillbillyradicalrick nah they're different. both awesome though. thanks for getting me back into spoon!

[freeribs]

NOBODY MOVE

[rlee64]

This song is sublime . . . .

[DarkMessiah1989]

[HanumanLoki]

There are only two races concerning humans, The Human Race, and the Rat Race.

P.S. Don't pick flowers for your Girl because she'll start a fucking war!

[ysgaisyih]

i think since everyone treats you tube like facebook anyway we should just act like we are all friends. hey whats up everyone?!?!?! pinback is a band! hooray friends!

[Jarr3tt882]

@ysgaisyih Oh hai! I love you!

[ysgaisyih]

[ezes6zy]

Black people are gonna take over this kind of music too, you white boys are gonna be left with hockey......;-)))...Haha.. But Seriously, HOW the HELL did this become about race..? Good music is Good music.....and that is Gangsta bitches...;-))

[kingreptoid]

DANCING SOLDIERS, DANCING SOLDIERS!!!!! :D

[eearthemayge29]

@kingreptoid I know, right? If I ever start a war, all of my soldiers will be capable dropping everything and doing a choreographed dance in the middle of the battlefield...because that is just an insane level of epic.

[BrownskinHaole]

makes me wanna lay back and fade into a state of unconciouness

[Night0shine]

Love how the unicorn scratches its belly at 0:40

Makes me smile every time i see it :)

[EzraAce]

It upsets me that the top comment isnt even a bout the song, instead its some dumbass trying to voice his opinoin over the internet (which isnt bad if you were on facebook, but this is youtube), oops almost did the same. Good song! Glad I found it by mistake, now i always play it in the car with my mates!

[mariah128]

This song never gets old.

[SenorAdam]

This song has shitty quality.

[misphotod]

@SenorAdam Your face has shitty quality. LOL sorry, couldn't resist. I <3 Pinback.

[SaintPaulish]

My band is opening for them in May. Woo!

[Elukas333]

good song

[TonyMontana32]

pin back is gay but this song is fuking awesome

[FenderMadison]

I like to think that oysters transcend national boundaries.

[shaketherake]

@FenderMadison Good oyster here.

[OurMusicMovement]

Alright,

Our goal is to help promote up-and-coming music! Good (Subjective statement) music that is under the radar. Music with passionate and intricate music/lyrics. Some what new sounding music. We hope to gain music and to have artists send us demos to be reviewed for a shot on our channel.

Thumbs up for change!

[ferroaj]

@dansp5 I REALLY hope you lit up--what are the odds of that?!

[ferroaj]

@dansp5 I REALLY hope you lit up-- the fact that there were 420 comments and 420000 views should've have been enough of a hint, you know?

[stardappledgreen]

this video is ingenious

[aquariyums]

I LOVE pPinback but I don't want to put CS's on my school computer so I came here and listened to them all day.

I broke the replay button to this song so I had to make a new one: @0:00

[aquariyums]

I'm white, and I like hot dogs.

[dansp5]

There are 420 comments and 420,000 views.

Thumbs up if you smoke weed and love pinback.

[saradawn6]

@dansp5 Thumbs up! yeaahahah xP

[IIIbigTUNAIII]

Im black, and i like watermelon!!!

[JewishJihad666]

Im black too. I like pinback and have played it over9000 times. it never gets old being black.

[oodlezay]

epic dance at 2:41 xD

[dogwondr]

I'm black, I listen to what I want and when I want, despite what people have to say,

cause I'm BOSS like that, now suck the schlong :D

[ToplessArt]

I think you guys are taking his comments far too seriously. It reads like it was only a joke he wanted to attach at the end; I don't think he meant to spur a racial debate.

[daylightghost2009]

i'm mulato, can i get more thumbs up than the two black guys? :)

[Girlsk8bords]

It makes me sad to think that music has gotten to the point to where different styles of music has been attached to specific races. I mean in the 60's rock music was born through white teens in England listing to the Blues (which was black music) because the music had attitude and feeling, they werent bother'd that they were listning to music that black people listened to.

Thats what music is supposed to be about.

[1996Vanilla]

one of my favorite songs ever at the moment!! culd listen to it soo many times :)

it doesnt matter if you black or not. if u like the song thn u like it. no shame in that. no need to talk about that either.

[pastulio1995]

i love this, if these comments were on a different video like the devil wears prada or something, then they would be going a completely different way lol

[ASirensSoliloquy]

More indie than a telephone pole.

[norr787]

im literate. and i have brown hair. give me props! i want some fucking props!

[wigglethemiddle]

@norr787 lol 

[TheGroovyWalrus]

why do yoy morons have to go to good songs like this and start talking about racist crap amd being offencive? its a good song. listen to it, enjoy it and shut up.

[irenestylist]

This song makes me  happy. : )

[Ninjaberryyy]

Oh my god. I love it when the people dance <3 1:31

[firefilly1]

@Ninjaberryyy I know its like the coolest part I tried to do it once but failed completely

[Norcalflat]

This is a great band, love this song. Oh yeah, and I'm Amish, USING A COMPUTER!?!? Give me props, some on bretheren.

Schnaaaaarf.

[MallowFilms]

I Love the song 'Fortress'for some reason.The guitar beat is catchy.....

[mikep949]

Your a fucking idiot. It's u damn blacks that are more racist than anybody these days. You haven't been slaves in hundreds o years so get over it. And maybe you can get ur people to stop spreading crime , poverty and disease

[Audiomuse]

This song makes me fly high like a G6

[splintercell495]

stop its to late feeling frustrated !!! time to die demon time to die demon, would have been better

[superreverb68]

Anyone else feel a kinship with the Beta Band?

[JonasPlanck]

21 kings destroyed their kingdoms over a broken heart.

[apple0gurl02]

FREAKING. Love. This. It's so chill and groovy at the same time :)
