Rob Dickinson(Catherine Wheel) "Black Metallic"

[chrishaven76]

Awesome.

[speakerbeing1]

i grew up during the entire shoegazing movement. from its incarnation to its bittersweet end. unfortunately like with all things, you don't know what you got til' it's gone. all those bands put out 2 or 4 amazing fucking albums save for a select few who continued to push the envelope. most of them it seemed just wanted to take different avenues. i will say though that bands today don't know how to turn the gain or volume on their amp heads past 4...i honestly seriously just DONT GET IT. sucks

When you can play like this live you know your a damn good band. Rob is excellent!

[4242424242lol]

All of you Catherine Wheel and shoegazing fans, hear me! we need to start to share this rare and glorious sound to the rest of the world! seriously, it's a fucking shame that these guys are not as famous as Muse, green day, metallica, iron maiden or AC/DC! so let’s start new shoegazing wave! share and tips this to anyone who like good and loud guitars with awesome lyrics! who is with me? Spread the word!

Rob released a solo album and has been touring the states for about a year. He also plays a few Catherine Wheel songs, such as this example. Now he's touring with a full band (not the original Catherine Wheel) and continues to play a similar set. 2/3rd solo, 1/3 catherine wheel

[supalev]

are they still a band? i loved em fukin ace!!

[WhiteNacho]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written for sure. But let us not forget the sister tune to Black Metallic, that being "Indigo Is Blue" also from the album "Ferment" Unfortunately it is not represented on YouTube. Shame.

[djnross]

"Glad tidings to you and your brood!",he bellows avuncularly,wincing as he bites lower lip,Queen Ann-waving as the jalopy cavalcade drearily splutters past.Parti-colored confetti drizzles from a still cerulean sky.Fans roar.How they adore him unreservedly.He could be Phoebus come to visit Rhodes....

[djnross]

As singularly obsessed as I am with quality rock,I told myself that I'd give it up the day that Catherine Wheel released an Unplugged Retrospective,for it would have been all I could've possibly wanted out of a music experience.This comes damn close:the man is a bona fide prodigy!

[sdecourcy]

Well said!

[silver00000000]

you are a whore and a slave to anything remotley pretentious! - Black Metallic is a belter, I'm so sad that someone as pretentious as you likes it....I really am///

[djnross]

There is far less pretense in my RNA than there is envy in the brush you use to comb gel into your bangs.

[cafedumonde22]

yes, Rob was with Steve Kilbey and crew(the church and he was as stunning as this vid as he was in St. Petersburg Fl.

A most surreal night i might say ...just got the chill guys ...wow

thanks Rob

[skyraider79]

simply stunning!

[3sheets]

Was this really recorded in 2007? I thought these guys broke up? I'm going to have to do some research - this gives me hope! This is by far the best thing I've seen on YouTube!

[Aquaholic50]

This song gives me EFFFING chills whenever I hear it!

[luvurobert]

Freaking AMAZING! Nothing more to say!!!!

[KilljoyRamp]

Fantastic, thanks

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Yeah... I'm pretty sure I'm turning black metallic. Not such a very bad shade for skin, eh??? Matches my shiny shiny boots of leather, and all eh?? Hahhahahaa!! Seriously, though, muchly righteously quite dig this song!! Yeah... yeah I'm gonna say it, YEAH BABY!!! Oh... ohhhhh... yeeeaahhhh!!
