boris - wata shreds!

[dudemanwhoathe1st]

who the fuck disliked this?!

[Geisttanzer]

Please don't call this shredding, shredding sucks, and don't talk about Yngwie Malmsteem on here, it makes me feel like I'm listening to music for 12 years olds

[MertOKTN]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz................­.

[ThePantagruel]

Dear close-minded metalheads,drone music,doom music,stoner music,Boris and Wata herself are not only about velocity and fastness. She is more focused on effects,feedbacks,tones,layers of sound,noise and heavy riffs. Please go back to your power metal shreadding and stop complaining about something you don't even understand.

[ReaperX3ro]

@ThePantagruel Don't lump the rest of us metalheads in with those idiots.

[elektrolurch1000]

What's the name of the song?

[felchboy2011]

Fucking garbage

[Geisttanzer]

@felchboy2011 Whatever you do like is fucking garbage

[felchboy2011]

Cool because she is surly and Japanese even though the music is shit heerwwww!

[HammarHeart]

i thought this was gonna be a "band shreds" video, lol

[burnoutn420]

you can go shut the fuck up regardless of whats being used by a person doesnt mean anything. boris is just kinda boring, not very good band. they need an actual drummer and they could be rage

[JEMdev]

What if I like NIN and Boris?

[tomegazombia]

what a shreds?

[Grunge00125]

.....

is this considered shredding now?

Oh god...

[heylittledude100]

Boris LIVE DVD out in January 2011!! ahhhhhh

[DALOL7]

@heylittledude100 Seriously???!!!! YUSSSS!!!!!!

[MrStrangediva]

Wierd! Why do I feel nostalgic watching this? Oh yeah I gave up smoking lol! Great band,great musicians!

[SoaringMuse]

My euro history teacher is obsessed with this band. Wata's pretty raw damn.

[blueguitarist]

that was some pretty shitty shredding...

[paperbackanna]

so cool.

[BODOMmETALwolF]

its a little messy but she shreds nicely in their songs!

[IndeclineKills]

dude is she single 

[imababyshark]

@IndeclineKills ya probably have to learn japanese before you can have a decent conversation with her =P

[IndeclineKills]

dude is she single 

[ANGRYEEL]

I love her. Amazing talent.

[unhumildecampesino]

i love wata

[theillfrisch]

i love her guitar solo's. especially the one in the song Pink, and the flood album.

[Tapey]

What song is this? It doesn't sound familiar (I only have Pink and Smiles) but I'd like to hear the album version.

[voiceofthesoul0]

@Tapey I think this is on "Rainbow"

[voiceofthesoul0]

@Tapey The song "Rainbow" too I believe.

[thejesman]

Well, I have to agree, Michio Kurihara is better at this particular solo. He's the one that plays it on the record, and this is Wata's attempt to imitate his style. But Wata is an incredible guitarist. Look up Naki Kyoku, that whole song is like the most amazing guitar solo you've ever heard.

[sprintabm]

When Boris performs with Michio Kurihara, he does the solo on this song and he totally destroys it much better than Wata here.

[theblacknemesis]

she IS able to shred, but this song is not a shred song, it's a gloomy slow song full of feeling.

[sickosandsuch]

Not shredding, but she is the queen of the drones.

[okcomputer1016]

oh...this is real. i thought it was like, you know, "so-and-so shreds"... but i do love boris.  good video.

[braindamagehurts44]

maybe the video is at 0.0001x the normal speed of her playing

[sonicjoydivisonswans]

This is way better then "shredding"! I love Boris and I love Wata!

[relapse555]

all hail the drone goddess!

[vermilionXmist]

Not shredding... But awesome. I MUST see them live someday! O,o

[ProphetWolf]

Not really shredding at all but still, Wata fucking kicks ass! As does the rest of Boris of course

[almightyjoey]

she's actually got a pretty chilled voice,considering the extremity of Boris' other stuff.

[ChaosAura]

Not everything Boris does is that extreme. You can listen to two albums in a row (Throw on Absolutego followed by Pink) and you`d never guess it was the same band

[almightyjoey]

Yeah, I know. It's just that when you listen to 'Huge' from Amplifier Worship, it's hard to imagine that she played those riffs, given the sweetness of her voice.

[adjers]

hope the play the fans strike back. twould be awesome to see them alongside sleep

[97036]

Fucking brilliant! GENIUS!

[mahagoth]

why you call it a shred ?? i don't get it.that's a nice solo i agree .

[BloodAndThunder00]

I'll upload a recent Rainbow audio recording from the Smile tour.

[angienel]

Drone Goddess

[DrGALLET07]

I seen Boris and NIN last Wednesday they both were fuckin sweet! But I never caught the name of this song can someone help me out here please?

[BaronGrevling]

It's Rainbow.

[stabo10]

isn't this solo supposed to be played with an ebow?

[embyr]

this song is so beautiful live, i saw them yestereday in concert, truely amazing

[bosshallucy]

Oh yeah, I was there. Tulsa right? My first time seeing Boris live. I was not let down. Of course NIN stole the show, but I will be seeing Boris anytime I get the chance. This songs was amazing Sat. night!!

[bigstereo]

This is a poor quality recording and Wata has definitely played better.

One YouTube video doesn't stop their albums from being absolutely gorgeous and the majority of their shows completely killer. Rainbow (the album and song) is fantastic.

[noneofyoucanspell]

"This is a poor quality recording and Wata has definitely played better."

LOL HAVE YOU EVER SEEN FOOTAGE OF A SHOW BEFORE

[noneofyoucanspell]

okay i said that before the solo, i guess it does sound kind of shitty. i love wata so hard.

[linkwaker007]

...where was the shredding? That was not shredding. Cool shit, but not shredding.

[theheartofwt]

which song is this?

[xDuiveltj]

rainbow

[edbstrung]

sux this gets cut off at the end. does anyone have an uncut version of this same song/show?

[darnull]

this wouldnt be near as awesome if she wasnt so hot

[Carmnn]

Playing with NINe INch NAils!!!!!!!!!!!!! on new tour

[Kurasuke]

The only problem is that Boris is soooo much better than NiN.

[xDuiveltj]

lol, i think your right... actually... xD

[PirateRupert]

@Kurasuke

well, realistically thats not really a hard feat to accomplish, trent reznor can eat a burnt dick

but Boris fucking SLAY

[Kurasuke]

@PirateRupert He deserves all of the burnt dicks.

[gbman123]

@Kurasuke better than this century version of NiN maybe, but not the nineties NiN. downward spiral shits on this.

[jorthomas20]

@gbman123 Nice job having no taste in music, bro.

[gbman123]

@jorthomas20 thanks man!

[dudemanwhoathe1st]

@gbman123 further down the spiral shits on the downward spiral. but there is no way in hell NiN is better than Boris. They have like 3 DECENT albums. too much filler.

[BradTheProducer]

Wow, I've never seen them play this song without Michio with them. This is pretty rad.

[Ceraziefish]

wata is a goddess

she has affected my guitar playing so much

i wish i could just be her, but that wouldn't be very original

[ChaosAura]

I Saw this live last week, and this was one of the best parts of the show. Sounds amazing live, and creates a damn good atmosphere, I just stood there with my eyes closed and listened/felt it.

[kanezeki]

all hater need to listen to naki kyoku from the lp akuma no uta then kindly stfu

[mikebott]

if you want to hate on wata, so be it. but realize that most her playing doesn't sound like this.

[temporaryguy]

What do heck? I didn't know Wata could sing. Of course that only adds to the <3ness.

[laffable]

Horrible. Sounds like she started playing a week before this show. I guess that's cool in some circles, but from here it's just sounds bad... go practice.

[driftingsmoke]

it's strange...some of the stuff they play sounds beautiful and nothing likes this...and much of it sounds like this.

i still enjoy them

[unagisan]

You're so ignorant I can only laugh.

Casting aspersions on someone's skills after hearing three poorly recorded minutes means you're a typical internet-troll arse-wank. No thought, no context, no brains.

You are the reason every "social" website fails. Negative scum.

I humbly suggest you actually listen to some Boris.

[povzner94]

i highly suggest shoving her guitar up your ass

[InstinctsM7]

You are a jackass, if you understood the band. The live showe might suck, but seriously.

[Kurasuke]

Have you seen them live? Oh my god they are fucking amazing live.

[dubasher]

WAY better live than on cd imo.

[PaleandSleepDeprived]

After watching this i felt like i had been punk'd.

I literally searched my home for Ashton Kutcher.

[MrGrunge88]

Um...ok?

Not sure if "shreds" is the appropriate word. But she is definitely using a guitar.

[citizentrenostrash]

could....we......not insult this with a dirty word like "shred?"

[shokoroll]

wise words, 24 thumbs up

[laffable]

Yes, let's all be afraid of any display of ability.

This video put me to sleep. Normally, I like going to sleep, but this sucked. I'll take shredding any day.

[citizentrenostrash]

this is a slow song, for shit's sake. go watch yngwie jerk off his guitar for a spectacle. this is a, what's it called, right, a SONG.

[rajtherat]

how was that a fucking song. That sounded like shoving a metal pipe through a meat shredder/

[tesseractt]

It's one thing not like the song, it's quite another to show what an ignorant moron you are. Keep the racist and sexist garbage to yourself. You obviously don't take to heart the words of the "Imagine" video you have on your profile. Fuck Yngwie Malmsteen, he's overrated and cheats with his very scalloped fretted guitars, you're probably some jealous, annoying guitar center lingering douchebag, that plugs in an Ibanez, ESP,or Dean through a shitty amp and wears out your welcome there "shredding"

[CinemaZebra]

@tesseractt I agree with everything you said there but I have to ask what's wrong with plugging in an Ibanez through a shitty amp and "shredding"?

[parsakke]

@tesseractt I do agree with you about the racist and sexist comments as well. But i couldnt ignore your hateful comments towards YJM and some really quality guitars. Calling scalloped fretboards "cheating" is just ridiculous, have you ever tried a guitar with scalloped frets? Well its hard as hell, you get nice vibratos out of it, but the thats about it. Calling other people ignorant morons and then bashing all the things you hate is just plain stupid.

[thepringle100]

@tesseractt

best comment ever! hahaha!

[sirbupsalotfilms]

@tesseractt hey..that describes me DX..and this is better then Yngwie... I'll admit he's good but it's like...this is shredding that's still peacefulish...this over him anyday

[ViolentNeurosis]

@tesseractt wow, I see he's running the same racial and sexist shit on probably all Boris videos. I'm starting to think he has a personal vendetta against this band.

[ArchSaur]

@tesseractt Malmsteen "cheats"? LOL. Nobody forbids other guitarists to buy scalloped guitars, but not all like them actually.

[tesseractt]

(continued response to povzner94) Jamming a million notes into a measure is not talent, it's mostly practiced technique, which is only a part of songwriting, it's much more difficult to know when not to play and show some maturity with dynamics then "shredding" all day. But your mono-genred ignorant ass probably wouldn't get that...

[wahzooo]

instead of wasting any time trying to explain that drone/sludge is completely fucking different from symphonic wank fests like malmsteen,ill just say this: fuck off,boris rules

plus dont diss asians, they gave us,among others: sigh,boris of course, the boredoms etc

[fivehorsejohnson]

were you born that retarded or did you have to take lessons? boris rules, if i wanted to listen to an old guy masturbate for an hour i'd uh probably fucking kill myself.

[Twilight182]

nice, im seeing them in concert in a few weeks.

[WormyBoySquigle]

Ok, I turned my speakers to minimum volume (further and it would have been off) and it still hurts.

[goonsackmask]

@WormyBoySquigle see them live its awesome, to be honest it doesnt hurt my ears i do just listen to boris or sunn0))) or feedback music

[holysnaakes]

Rainbow is so goooood!

[bloodjunkie1911]

i must see boris live!!

[RevOptimal]

Yes, you must. But be warned, it will be the last thing you hear for several days, if not more. The rep they have for high volume is NOT an exaggeration. Boris live is easily the loudest thing I have ever heard--and I have heard a train wreck, up close.

[bloodjunkie1911]

haha thanks for the warning. you know what they say, maximum volume yields maximum results. Actually like no one says that but oh well.

[duraiden]

I believe Sunn O))))'s Black One says that on the back cover.

Either way, I use musician's earplugs for show going. I like my hearing.

[driftingsmoke]

i just saw them last night with torche, and my friend told me that boris is much louder...i didnt believe him...he was right...my ears are still ringing as i type this...

[memberjacket]

i was at that show too last night :P. couldnt see anyone in the band. either i'm too short or they are. or just bad positioning on my part.

[girngaz318]

God I love this album...

[FriendlyFaction]

Oh my goodness, Wata is amazing.

[VomitSelf7]

I like her voice. What song is this?

[Hundjaevel]

Boris with Michio Kurihara - Rainbow
