Down - Three Suns and One Star

[Ibanez610]

2:55-3:01 fuckin' FAT-ass riff!

[ColtinNotChicken]

Down is fucking awesome.Phil still has it

[o0JuStLeAvE0o]

DoWn is the shit

[iwant2watchstuff]

Saw em live last yr in Melbourne AUS. One of the best live shows i've ever been to, and one of the best nights of my life. Despite what most folk think, phil's a great bloke. On the night his throat was fucked and you could tell he wanted to split after an hour but kept on into the second hour and then some! I have great respect for how far he's come. I shook the Man's hand!!! Haven't had a shower since then.. Man do i stink

[calosity]

I saw Superjoint Ritual about 6 years or so ago.... I too shook Phil's hand and didn't shower for a few days.

SJR

[8Biohazard5]

B R I N G B A C K

P A N T E R A ! ! ! !

[RatedRAussie]

u idiot

[8Biohazard5]

Just because Dimebag died i can't say bring back pantera? Dumbasses.

[RatedRAussie]

mm yeh it does

[8Biohazard5]

Thats crap.

So every morrison or cobain fan arent allowed to say they wanna have their idols back?

Retard.

Pantera is still one of the best metalbands ever, and this band 'down' is nothing compared to pantera. so fuck you.

[o0JuStLeAvE0o]

pantera was an excellent band yes id say they did much better but how xcan u hate on the lead singer phil and i think all 3 albums by down are fucking bomb and pantera anit making no new music so take that how u want but DoWn fucking rocks if u cant see that then u smoke pcp

[gethighwithjimmypage]

COULDNT AGREE MORE

[Elgesen]

Pantera wouldnt be as great as they were if it wasnt for Phil!

[RatedRAussie]

if u wanna hear ur idols u can

its just stupid and pointless saying bring back pantera cause its impossible

[sebastianbach111111]

kool

[fridogg]

Why is Phil due. Because he got hooked on dope or said some bad things. As far as Pantera goes, they would have suck if Phil did not joint he band.

[DaCro313]

DOWN sucks and down should go down to the ground fuckin geeeks

[dimebagDARRELL187]

the frist 20 sec has almost the same drum roll beat

as black sabbath children of the grave..lmao

great song

[Saxyman14]

Not a drum roll. It's an Ostinato.

[AGUANTECIVILE]

aguante down y pantera !!

un temazo de la puta madre !!!!

hasta el metal siempre !!

el barto !!!

[pantera0a7x]

no one can top dime but this is great!

[Katthaal]

people only think he was the best cuz his deadLOL

[Peter07Pal]

fuck you, i have thought he was the best before hand, dime fucking played, fast heavy, and with soul.

[Saxyman14]

He played fast... therefore... good?

[Peter07Pal]

uh no...he played..fast....with soul...compelixty...and fucking used the blues.

[Saxyman14]

he "used" the blues?

Sounds mechanical.

[Panasper]

yeah dumbshit Dimebag played fast AND good, in fact he was one of the best soloists in metal, not to mention all the heavy-ass riffs he wrote in pantera

so go fuck yourself

[Katthaal]

hey folks. sorry for that comment. that was my retard friend.

he didnt even know dimebag was dead until i told him a month ago..

[4a2Derian]

No he was bad ass before.

[ferociouspokemachine]

can anyone please tell me what are the best songs of down?

[Ele3tricEye]

depends on personal preferences. as with all bands, buy their stuff, figure out what rings to you. this album is amazing

[draeghtheworldender]

I agree, I'm trying to see if Phil Anselmo is getting what he is due.

From what I see though it is a huge change from how angry Pantera was, to this mellow stuff.

Though this song is probably the best song I've found by 'Down' so far.

[mavrick2o13]

teh best Down song is whatever you like i sugest stown the crow

[libertycaps666]

i dunno dude its up to you but my favourites are stone the crow, something on my side and ghost along the mississippe

[qzcancel]

i saw them two days ago, best show ive ever seen, scored like 3 or 4 picks, and i got to meet kirk, phil and rex both were lookin at our group cause of my pantera flag, taht shit was the bomb!!! down is the best fuckin band!!!

[choices234]

I saw them the 15th and they didn't play this...did they play it when you saw them?

[qzcancel]

no they didnt, but they still put on one hell of a show, the song eyes of the south is probably the best song they have, i love this fuckin band everytime they hit up chicago im goin

[fishloaf666]

(_)_)lllllllllD~~~~~

[SimplyKelso13]

I saw these guys with Metallica on Saturday! Scored a drumstick and 3 guitar picks and had phil snarl at me! Simply amazing. Both bands were kick ass!!

[jk160]

haha he snarled? like a dog? was he mad?????

[SimplyKelso13]

Yeah he snarled at me :) he wasn't mad just acting like a bad ass like phil always does!. It was sweet!

[fridogg]

I agree, take the Doors's for instance, no Morrison no band. Sonically it must sound good, Vocally takes it ovr the top

[nekinick]

Holy shit, these guys are absolutely brilliant. The vibe, the guitar playing, the voice, the lyrics...brilliant.

[JillyGrant]

It's lovely hearing a person's first impression of Down. :D

[Jagerfueled]

I met Kirk the other night! Down played for 2 and a half hours. Crowd was so into them, and they were so into the crowd. This went off!

[architectus777]

For me the singer is most important. If I don't like the singer I will not like the music. This is why singers can switch bands and still have a following. How many guitarist or drummers can do that?

[GGHME]

23.

[fishloaf666]

no, its 24 silly

[GGHME]

Damnit, I knew I missed one.

[fishloaf666]

you shall be shunned

[pumpkenhead]

I agree, the singer is the final factor for me but they need a great band backing them. Down is the greatest band around today!

[000Nevermind000]

i agree but not all guitarist are replaceable.. like zeppelin wouldnt be the same without jimmy page.. and drums.. metallica wouldnt be the same without lars..

[sk8alot88]

ac/dc wouldnt be a band without angus young either

[jj3501]

lars plays drums...

[xXRageAddictXx]

he said and DRUMS

[8Biohazard5]

ye. thats what he said :P

[metalman4993]

metallica would be better without lars

[metalliNERD]

definately not... Metallica wouldnt be, or wouldnt be anything like they are, if it wasnt for lars... lars builds the band just as much as the others, and he knows what he's doing on the drums if that is your "argument" lol...

back to on-topic: this song's awesome, love it when that riff kicks in at about 00:40

[Bultasar]

metallica isn`t anything without cliff. cliff died metallica died. after his death metallica made only shit. lars is just an....

[emgduncanman]

i dont know about being better without him...its possible i guess. one thing is for sure. if youve ever watched lars play, especially here lately, hes like the laziest drummer ever. not saying hes not playing the parts well. hes just lacking energy anymore.

[karna1987]

I totally agree with you...lars is not creative in creating drum parts for metallica's last few albums...he try to play everything as simple as he can...

[mAddpsyNtisT]

my favorite song off the album..

[EyeOfTheTornado]

Very good album, Fuckin awesome song. Though I wish that Over The Under had afew more guitar solos

[ATHOW]

Down is fuckin awesome! They are NOT Pantera or anyone else like that, they are their own band with their own sound, and it is pretty damn solid!

[MariaNell]

good shit, i get to see them with metallica in kansas city

[cfhdomination]

I read on some website that Down blew Metallica away at a festival in Europe. Can't remember which one...but yeah, I saw Down last November, and it was easily the best live show I've ever seen!

[PearlJammer07]

Anything Phil Ansemo does you know it is good. I am sure he helps with guitars or gives constructive critisizm like in Pantera days. Pantera,SJR,Down, and Hellyeah, all good metal bands.

[robalsager]

hell yeah are wank and have fuck all to do with phil anselmo, walk on home boy.

[Phyllesvin]

totally awesome riff. can´t keep my head still!

[Goodolcarolinaboy]

Phil had or has nothin to do with Hellyeah. Dumbass!

[Phyllesvin]

Are you fucking high, I know that and I didn´t say anything about Hellyeah!

[Goodolcarolinaboy]

Oh my bad I meant to reply to PearlJammer. Sorry bout the misunderstandin.

[Phyllesvin]

no problem, dude!

[PearlJammer07]

I know that. I know my metal alright. Don't try to school me about all that shit.

[PearlJammer07]

Okay I was drunk as hell when i made that first post. I know that Phil is not in Hellyeah.

[Zebus112]

awesome

[serithlenigod]

that is great music! i think that Phil Anselmo is one of the best singers!!

[titibut]

down rules so does phil anselmo fuck all the haters and fuck who thinks down rules.

[killtheXfakeX]

...so...fuck yourself?

[Ratsemble]

Almost a perfect band has Anselmo created. I like PanterA better, but thats the music style i like. Anyways, Down rocks. Phil's voice is incredible!

[Pandemic16]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gumborific]

Give the rest of the guys some credit...it's not all about Phil. Just sayin'.

[boohoojew]

Good point gumborific. Let's see some goddamm hands for Pepper, Kirk, Jimmy, and Rex!

[IIMetalHeadII]

I agree with you rat, PanterA is better than Down.

Also,

DImebag>Kirk and Pepper

[wellarega]

the title is three suns and one star, not the contrary, as said by someone

[neladsmies]

There is 1 sun and 3 stars on the cover

[blacksabbathmetal]

Acutally (this is just a theory), but since the sun is actually a star, couldn't there actually be three suns and one star as well?

[Zanegrd00]

a sun is just a closest star to the planet.

[bobthebuyer]

zane....no shit sherlock..

[Moloch95]

Any Pantera fan has to listen 2 Down and maybe Hellyeah just to give credit to Vinnie Paul

[LordMagtheridon]

down just rocks..when then I saw them on stage at concert they were pure gods, and they know how to make the public go wild

[Ratsemble]

Gief more WoW players that listens to real music!

[VikingStyle666]

down pure music definantly a lost art there doing here KEEP IT COMIN GUYS LOVE IT!!!

[adamjrobbins]

Down is one of the most kick ass bands out right now, there combo of blues and in your face metal makes my ears have uncontrolable orgasms!

[ZakkHaney]

Anselmo!!!!

[ESPRyan]

Wrong!, Pantera was the greatest fucking band ever!!!

[baxill23]

Greatest fucking band ever!!!

[Blebel]

Ripping ass, probably their best song... Hmm, no. Down's songs are uncomparable ;)

[vinicorn]

the riffs are wicked tbf

[gofoc]

this is the only song i´ve liked from Down,

can somebody tell me another that be as good as this one??

[Waspinators]

Lysergik Funeral Procession, really kickass song.

[TAMPORAPANTERA]

The Path, On March The Saints, Dog Tired

[baxill23]

hahahaha... love the name

[TAMPORAPANTERA]

[coupedup3214]

Lifer

[KillaV40]

[jhnbhnm]

[Switchfifty]

how do you know?

[jhnbhnm]

he said it in an interview the 3 suns are obvously phil,rex and vinnie and then dime is this star.....making 3 suns and 1 star

[TheIronMole2]

I think I just found a band worthy of loving all my life.

Down = modern metal heroes

[blacksabbathmetal]

I agree too. I just found them, and they are amazing huh?

[loudpurplehair]

Best tune since anything from Nola.

[down417]

Down II rapes I and III.

[blasabb]

[DrumsaremyhobbyxD]

[DETH80]

[Jordanfan908]

[stonerface000]

all you punk asses think ya'll know what the fuck music is all about. you just listen you what your parents and tv tells you to listen to and what to like

[Krosstika1]

Phils voice has changed so much. But it really fits Downs sound.

[bobthegoo]

i dont understand all these people who think this sounds like revolution. it sounds nothing like it, get over it. down kicks ass

[mint50mints]

this albam is masterpiece!thank you!

[Vade91]

The mainriff reminds me a little of revolution, have to admit it.

[CRVZS]

The beginning.. "children of the grave" I love this song!

[usernamessuck901]

it does not sound like revolution at all. have you ever actually heard the song

[jackmylantern]

yeah maybe it sounds like revolution....if you've just stabbed your eardrums with pencils.

[whitnielm]

I LOVE DOWN : ) new fan but they were FREEKIN AWESOME LAST NIGHT!!!!! i still cant hear : )

[TheBlackPriest]

PHLILP ANSELMO, MY GOD!

[GuitarHeroJP]

the chorus sounds like 'Revolution is my name' by Pantera. Listen to it.

[TheBlackPriest]

Yeah, i had same feeling when I listened to this.

[hell6981]

they rule

[Miodosmrodo]

It's damn good. Especially when You're drinking a beer while listening to it.

[Brownsweiger]

I love listening to Down whilst having a wee bit of a buzz runnin', it's always been that way with me and down. And I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that.

[brownsmoke49]

Yeah man, spark up and drink up, the only way to listen to Down, the ultimate music to have a good time to.

[wotanderwilde]

I drink the Oceans dry, i stop the Time!

:) Phil is God!

[DavDeath89]

excuse me but...  what is the Oceans dry??

thanks!

[hell6981]

idiot listen to down

[hell6981]

you can hear the influence of black sabbath in their new cd, its sweet, DOWN rules

[Brownsweiger]

i hear a lot of The Obsessed as well especially on the Saints song.

[Cityundersands]

That is savage riffery at its best. I bought this album, and as soon as that kicked in, I knew I was in for something awsome!

[metallicatrivium]

fucking awesome album this song just punches you in the face an kicks you in the balls and you love every second of it lol:)

[killerbob757]

i want them to do a record like the first one.

[thesandman775]

Sadly enough, this album is their weakest effort thus far, and is STILL better than most music out there today.

[Brownsweiger]

actually, i think it's a great album. definately a band that has evolved a lot, yet still i wouldnt call one album better than the other since all three are unique in their own way.

[medred1986]

this album surely has signs of maturity

[lightthiscity11]

i spent my gas money for the week on this album + Nola.. fucking worth every penny, i love these guys.

[simonAckwayus]

Fucking Excellent.

[theblackrabbit]

that guitar riff is braincracking.

they were great in corpus christi, too bad it was a small crowd.

[Gordilito]

Esta muy bueno este ultimo trabajo de DOWN (Con el griton de Phil, que no se calle nunca!!! )

[Fasius]

Love their sound

[sand365man]

Yes, this has CHildren of the Grave sound as well as other Black Sabbath inspired riffs.Nice job DOwn!!

[juggalojay66sik]

the beginning to this song sounds alot like a Black Sabbath song, i cant remember the name but its on the tip of my tongue...Fuck!!

Children of the grave or n.i.b.

[hhat66]

Every track on this disc kicks me in the nuts. Ridiculously good album.

[BongOfCthulu]

Down rocked the fuckin house in cincinnati last week

[corledar9]

They are the best fucking band i have heard in years!!!

[m1rock]

Fucking tight song. Had a awesome Black Sabbath influence to it too.

[TAMPORAPANTERA]

hah yeah almost sounds like theyre going to blast into children of the grave

[SimmondsRichard]

People have no right to say Phil has lost his edge. He's achieved more in the metal scene more than you'll ever know. I bet if you got the chance to meet him you would kiss his ass.

[timbeau0805]

I know I would (no homo?)...Phil is the best.

[allu222]

This is true Heavy Metal since PanterA!
