[BeckMCS9876]

@herbages Yo mama

[ValkyreBomb]

This isn't necessarily my favorite kind of music but i admire that drummer for being able to calmly play drums while those people are moshing 6 inches away.

[gkmonster]

brian chippendale is just my favorite person ever. STICK FLIP AT 1:41.

[fixedpigs]

@gkmonster at 1:15 as well...

[Thecorrectopinion]

This band makes my labia minora moist. 

[irapecancerpatients]

[AphoticAgony]

[chiroconscious00]

I believe that's Christian Bale on the drums actually....

[4C4rly4]

@chiroconscious00 lmfao

[drinktheuniverse]

@chiroconscious00 It's actually Brian Chippendale.

[bonfire7437289459]

12 people felt useless after seeing two guys do all this.

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

Absolute Madness !

[ThisIsLouella]

Siiiiick.

[PetriesLakeHouse]

My friend and I's first song kind of sounds like Lightning Bolt with vocals! (well, not AS crazy as Lightning Bolt) check it out and Long Live Lightning Bolt!

[washinours]

Where're you from? Need to see you in live! amazing o.O

[satan6rapes6god6]

I dont know why.... but its amazing

[Lekolo408]

These guys are....fucking incredible. 'Specially the drummer. Dear god.

Oh and the stick flip at 1:40.....he makes it look so easy and casual.

[antirocketcloudy]

@Lekolo408 How did you even manage to see that? holy crap.

[jdlewis60]

There are nothing but gay guys in the audience, where the hell are the girls??

[favianlobo]

@jdlewis60 france buddy, that's how they roll

[jostube06]

@jdlewis60 You won't see any girls here.. too much aggression.. lol This is a classic cockfest of metalheads.

[TheMegaghost85]

@jostube06 every bolt show i go to the chicks are as aggressive as the fuckin dudes

[916fanatic1]

my favorite band member is brian

[rasputansalvador]

What ...

Is...

THIS?!

THIS IS AWESOME.

[admiralakbar]

he has more sweat on him than shirt

[grahamlaur]

Love the intensity of the playing and the joy of the audience. I've been to so many soulless and polite performances its refreshing to see somebody who understands what it means to put on a good show.

[BellaDaMuppet]

Thanks to wathever brought me here

[seanw25]

Saw them last night. Amazing.

[elquelovetodoxu2]

fuck yeah!

[syzdekbr]

Buncha premature ejaculators.

[Laszlokh]

it's funny, the drummer's kinda awkward in person, but when he's on those drums, he's just a crazy, primal, beast. completely different.

[ledbrasil]

i think Rhode Island does that to people... pure raw fucking energy.

[effceefifty]

i wanna die to a lightning bolt song

[TheMegaghost85]

@effceefifty exactly..... COLOSSUS

[TheShagDiesel]

Face melting!

[laforet]

8 people... I don't know, I can't believe there are 8 people who can dislike this

[XTheDemolitionLoverX]

I'M GOING TO SEE LIGHTNING BOLT APRIL 2ND. I'M SO PSYCHED.

[TheMegaghost85]

@XTheDemolitionLoverX very nice, how was it.? im seeing them 4/24 in louisville

[Kebbek192000]

You can say what you want about Lightning Bolt. You can call everyone that likes them hipsters and indie kids but when it comes down to it, this is just one of the best fucking bands you will ever see live and this is coming from someone who has seen them live. If you get a chance, take it. You wont regret it. And I'm not a hipster bitch.

[KneeSlapperProductz]

everyone in the audience is wasted haha

[tentaclejoefromhell]

fucking hell!!! yeeah!

[dylanc00]

fukin hipsters.

[tranesonic]

@dylanc00 this is neil young's favorite band!

[tfinamor]

If you cant appreciate the passion and creativity behind lightning bolt despite what you think of their sound than you have no soul and i feel extremely sorry for you

[exyourself]

I feel like I'm on drugs when I watch this video...oh wait.. I am on drugs.

[44Schecter]

eh

[VanillaMochaxMix]

When the drum kicks in I just wanna jump up from my chair and go nuts

[TheSpiderpkz]

el baterista se parece un chingo a Tiesto xD y no es nada malo ni nada solo es un simple comentario!!!

[harrymuse]

I love noise rock!

[moabShirts]

Okay, Brian has to get REALLY SORE after he plays gigs this fast. I get sore just air-drumming it next to my computer!

[ElijahEssplode]

Story time:

(Alright, lets just put this on the table first, Im not too updated on what kids like now and days.)

So today this "scene" girl in class was telling me about brokNCYDE (or however fuck its spelled.) and told me to check them out.

I did.

Fifteen seconds later, I started listening to this to take that horrid sound out of my head.

Iv listened to this song about five times since then.

[0HAM0revived]

@ElijahEssplode brokencyde is shit man

she might have been trolling

[alexsweeley]

@ElijahEssplode I hate trends man, especially this crunkcore thing going around and spreading like a virus. I hate teenagers, I'm glad I turned 20 a few months ago.

[InLocoParentis96]

@ElijahEssplode hell yeah!

[Borjagonzalo123]

@ElijahEssplode i like both brokencyde and lightning bolt, im i doing something wrong?

[armenianzombie]

@Borjagonzalo123 Yes.

[Borjagonzalo123]

@armenianzombie why?



[armenianzombie]

@Borjagonzalo123 Because, Brokencyde is terrible. Props though for actually liking lightning bolt.

[InfliktionDrums]

@ElijahEssplode brokencyde is so horrible. i heard about LB from this guy off craigslist i jammed with once. he sucked, but man did he have great taste in music, im glad he showed me these guys, theyre from this town i live in providence, ri

[valeriemisa]

lmfao at the guy dancing

[Missivylady]

terrible. cya @ coachella tho.

[synysterspace]

this track holds a special place for me. first time i picked this album up, i put it on, and i couldn't hear it that well, so i screwed around with the needle some, and decided to try it again, but louder. same results, but when i kept listening, the first screech knocked me on my ass.

...and that's the story of how i lost my virginity.

[anarchistt89]

Brian Chippendale is great. I want him in my band!

[Baadger]

Music for fags who can't play their instruments.

[PutisBen]

@Baadger Yeah, go post a video of you playing 13 monsters perfectly on bass or drums and then say that these guys can't play their instruments.

[moabShirts]

@Baadger Lightning Bolt isn't really about playing their instruments well. It's mostly about making noise and making people move. As you can tell, they don't really have to play perfectly to make that happen. Good day to you, sir.

[leachinfested]

someone should make a bass tab to these and make millions of people happy :D

[KyleBrock13]

@leachinfested protip: he plays a 5 string bass with the first strings in classic cello tuning, the bottom string is from a banjo I believe. 

[leachinfested]

@KyleBrock13 haha u r correct good sir, but i myself am too hopeless to tab it

[OGTheDemon]

man these fukers are tone deaf

[vorderbruggen]

this came up as a suggestion while watching piglet and maps and atlases, thoroughly dissapointed.

[mikescott77]

@vorderbruggen piglet is sick, maps and atlases sucks

[Brianplaysdrums]

nobody's on acid

[koolguy1029]

i fucking love this song

[akniggaable]

i should be shot for not seeing lightning bolt when they were in my town a few months ago

[trance1gen]

fukin blew mind tht drummin

[cjparrott]

dude in the black shirt.... put your arms down when you dance

[F1CO]

@cjparrott how the fuck is he supposed to dance then? that would look twice more retarded than this.

[cjparrott]

@F1CO i don't know...

but he's been referred to as "gay priest on ecstacy" and a "finger waving retard" by others... perhaps that's the name of his dance..

[konnichiwaneku]

kick fuckin ass

[blazed0516]

holy shit the drummer is nasty!!!!!!!!!!

[chezzzr]

they really suck!

[TheSpallanzani]

@chezzzr with suck you mean like... they're awesome, right?

[chezzzr]

@TheSpallanzani NO

[PutisBen]

@chezzzr looks like SOMEONE wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in the face! Music taste is based on opinion, so try to keep the world a more positive place by commenting on miley cyrus videos about how cute you think she is, rather than going on other videos and telling people that a band sucks, as if your opinion is absolute truth.

[chezzzr]

@PutisBen in my opinion they suck, i dont care if u consider that as an absolute truth or not

[PutisBen]

@chezzzr Yeah, exactly. It's your opinion on a subjective issue. now you get it :D!

[TheSpallanzani]

@chezzzr eerr... then you mean they play really cool?

[13457brandon]

this is my favorite lightning bolt video on here.

[mariexxme]

Thank you !

[13457brandon]

@mariexxme Yea. No problem.

[kruztyjarcore]

VENGAN A CHILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!­!!

[angussz]

definitely one of the most powerful bands. i cant even sit still watching a fucking VIDEO of one of their shows. i cant even imagine them live.

[LzrdKng9000]

these guys are my heroes hahaha theyre so awesome

[tastyfoxman]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT 1:37 HE FLIPS THE FUCKING STICK

Brian, you are god.

[horseytown]

@tastyfoxman HOLY FUCK, you're absolutely correct. But it's at around 1:41.

[WolvesAsParents]

@horseytown @tastyfoxman hot holy shit that was sick

[fillepo]

this sucks

[PieceofMindmusic]

i wish they would come olympia

[shitmanidontknow1]

did anyone see that gay priest on ecstasy

[elgallopunky]

merci arno merci benoit aussi

i think it was johnny thunders who said music was 50% attitude; well, this song is 150% music then...

[mariexxme]

@elgallopunky : merci Benoit et Arno mais moi non ? ;) hahahaha ;)

yes you're right it's incredibly good!

[punkandproud69]

@jaws14us that's the point, it's supposed to sound like noise, but with a groove. this kind of music is always better live

[sichecazz]

niceeeeeeeeeeeee

[rascalrascal]

@jaws14us its fast intense simple riffs and drumming at super high volumes. bass response isn't going to be good enough for you to hear the riff well without having heard it before

[dasgemuse]

@jaws14us it technically a mixture of blur and mess music, so you are correct. it is a blurry mess. just go to a show and see. this crowd is pretty calm compared to the one i was in last weekend. holy shit i was almost thrown into the drums. i have still been to crazier rap shows, but LB is still insane. when you are in the pit, the blurry mess is all you can hear, and the distorted sounds make you feel like your at war with your fucking mind

[RepThatFoSkin]

@dasgemuse mess music? get the fuck out of here dude.

[dasgemuse]

@RepThatFoSkin i was making fun of jaws14us for calling this a blurry mess.

[13457brandon]

I would've "accidentally" wacked that guys finger with the stick if he was waving it in my face. Lol!

[JARicci]

My mind is shattering into a million pieces this is so fucking awesome.

[elguerobien88]

Chris's bass sounds like an electric dying cow. It's so rad.

[priser24]

@elguerobien88 Who is Chris?

[N3B0R3D]

@elguerobien88 Shut the fuck up.

[devotionselude]

'bah this is too easy', lets flip that drumstick at 1:41

[jpcancela]

Best drummer right here



[Luvinhas]

o.o playing guitar with fingers?

[rikardoss]

@Luvinhas it's a bass

[ph33rbot101]

@Luvinhas yes he is playing it wiv his fingers, how crazy.

[Luvinhas]

@ph33rbot101 forget it is a bass xD i didnt know, even though a bass is a guitar too.

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

@Luvinhas Even if it was a guitar, it isn't uncommon to see guitarists plucking fingers or fingernails. Fingerstyle...

[Luvinhas]

@jacobtheguitarfreak Lol but fingerstyle in guitar is damn different from fingerstyle in bass.

[DaydreamRadio]

It would have been awesome if Brian just chopped that dudes finger with his drumstick in between drumming

[WhammyDown]

I love the guy just rubbing his own belly at 0:12

[rexnickles2]

THAT ROOM IS FULL OF WITCHCRAFT!

[KittyCatsRoxx]

i kinda prefer muses cover... * ducks for cover in fear of getting head ripped off*

[666popeman666]

DRUMSTICK SPIN @ 1:40 <3

[clistere2]

@666popeman666 bloody hell you're fucking right! how freaking awesome he is?

[kilian]

@666popeman666 Holy fuck you're right! I wouldnt realize it ever!

[papajayhawk]

@666popeman666 its actually inhuman

[apterus]

just alot of noise.

[twig123]

who the drummer?

[papajayhawk]

brian chipindale

[Wiggzzzz]

muse did not cover lightning bolt. lb's song is assassins not assassin, they sound nothing alike and have seperate lyrics...

[Colenelly]

... You're retarded. Muse covered "Dracula Mountain" by Lightning Bolt, not assassins.

[pushpin9]

Ever Realize the fat guy in the back with the black button down with his hands folded dancing??? lmao that shyt is hillariouss....but this song is sexiiiiiii and that bass is beast!!!!

[kucharek01]

You don't analyze Lightning Bolt.

You feel it.

[ApacheLabel]

my dad toured with these guys.

[GlassPike]

OH MY GOD! new favourite band,I've got so much catching up to do! Lightning Bolt was made for me.

[oldhorse02]

hehe there is stood with fingers in my ears because the earplugs wouldn't do. fucking great band.
