Voivod - Polaroids

[InTheWoods91]

oh my god so fun to play on bass

[eyung250]

voi vod rules!!! no more to say

[astrolabius1969]

Et oui je continue d'etre fidele a voivod||

[majorblood87]

@poulsontheprick hazing is kinda like initiation. You have to do something embarrassing or painful or stuff like that before your accepted into a group. Frat houses in america used to do hazing until some students died or somethin

[poulsontheprick]

@majorblood87 Thanks friend; i was unsure what that meant .I'm from Europe and not very clued up on North American culture.

[kamikaz330]

@majorblood87 lol they do that over here in almost every college..

they make you do stuff like run around in the street, naked (or nearly naked..) and stuff like that :D

[fogzax]

This mix of Polaroids sound less compressed than the CD version

[awetbandit]

I cried my eyes out when Piggy passed. One of the biggest influences on me & my musical tastes there ever was. A true genius.

[SoulburnSix]

Voivod within the soul forever. "Now that I die It doesn't matter Not anymore Only a limelight Flows in the sky Glows in the sky Where the wind takes our dreams Where the scene is surreal Where the wind steals our dreams Where yourself is revealed" \m/

[StonePhill]

28 years of music evolution....that what VOIVOD is.

[SKONJIE]

Voivod Rules! I'm sorry but Death Magnetic SUCKS! It's has some potential, but the songs are way too long, I think they tried too hard, they should of simplified it, Anyway Voivod is and always will be a kicks ass totally original Metal Band!

[aurexgirl]

Voivod has sucked since Nothingface

[tomcornhole]

@aurexgirl i thought they started sucking directly AFTER nothiNgface

[ChrisPartykaMusic]

like anyone else in life who doesnt understand, just ignore them

[poulsontheprick]

There is something Jazzy or anti symmetric about The Vod; This is sheer fucking class.Pisses all over Metallicash.................I stopped dead listening to them when they released And Justice..cos it was shit.Plain and simple-without the "WINDMILL (CLIFF) THEY WERE JUST STAGNANT MULLET MEN.James get back to Bach covers..........

[SnakesBlues]

@poulsontheprick

and justice for all shit? for god sake i havent heard something that stupid in years

man thats maybe their most anti-shit album its totally no comertial and has and incredible strengh

kicks voivod avandgarde metal in the face,not that voivod is shit but that album is great just great

[poulsontheprick]

@SnakesBlues I know it might sound crazy but respectfully , as i was into Metallica from the release of K .E.A. and eagerly waiting on Ride ....and then M.o.P ; I guess the over production( and i don't know if the rest of the lads were trying to be clever here ....) but there is no BASS on the And Justice Album for whatever reason.The overall sound is wooden and empty .Its even Commercial ( dare i say it ) in the extreme.Not what Metallica fans expected to hear .!!!!! anybody agree?

[SnakesBlues]

@poulsontheprick

i think thats the point,making stuff people dont expect.thats what people celebrates on bands like voivod

metallica and voivod are totally diferent bands

depends onthe taste,but you jsut cans ay songs like to live is to die or blackened or and jsutice for all are boring or shitty

[poulsontheprick]

@SnakesBlues I'm sorry if you disagree...i think i will say that And Justice ... , is shit ;i've never liked it ! It wasn't aggressive enough ( for me...) .I also think there is a subtle difference between "not what u expect" and " overproduced" .Exciter from Canada were a flop too,and they're first 3 albums were storming until they lost John Ricci ( i believe he left for personal reasons.)What say you friend?

[majorblood87]

@poulsontheprick and justice for all rules. i heard the reason there is no bass is because they were hazing newstead and took his bass out of the mix.

[poulsontheprick]

@majorblood87 Hazing ????

[poulsontheprick]

@majorblood87 Eh? Hazing? Wossat?

[wargasty]

amazing!!!!

[mrmb138]

I have been listening to voivod ever since I could hear.

[LuNAtiCoGoDScReaTioN]

first good voivod song i hear

[Andraax01]

VoiVod is - and always was - an overall art concept. They evoke feelings like few others can. I wear my VoiVod Tattoo (my only Tattoo) proudly since 1988. Waiting for the new album (with Blacky back) this year.

R.I.P. Piggy!

[CosmicSea07]

Anybody who has criticism for metallica should go back and listen to the stuff that came before the Black Album and Bob Rock. It doesn't matter if they sold out. It's what they did before that point in their careers.\m/ R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner \m/. Voivod ******* rocks!

[MrTasos76]

HAIL FROM GREECE!!!

[ABMayweather]

they are so creative they have there own style they are labeled as thrash but I chose not to label them most thrash bands sound like metalica anthrax or slayer but voivod is just so damn origional. I dont realy listen to metal anymore because I dont like the direction its going in but Im always going out of my way to listen to them.

[AngelOfDeathVK]

Hail VOIVOD greetings from VELIKA KLADUSA - BOSNIA

[jcolivarules]

R.I.P Piggy.

[RudraNightmare]

coolest video I've seen yet

[goodsoninc]

It's more punk-progressive than thrash metal.

[gpalmamrw]

man that's an oxymoron, haha, progressive and punk, haha, only Voivod man, only Voivod.

[nazisucksass]

@gpalmamrw hahhah. I lol'd, man, I lol'd.

[good222speed]

katorz is a very decent album !with a lot a great original stuff and ideas ,support that band !support talent! ,its not like the krap of today!!

[Ginosid]

Légendaire!!!!

[RavenousMedicine]

one of my favorite Katorz songs.

[ChrisDulk]

Too bad Denis D' Amour is dead, I was born too late, never saw him live. He's probably the most inspiring guitarist I've ever heard. Even Zappa and Django not even come close to how inspiring Denis D' Amour was. Too bad Voivod is so underrated. I hope the new guitarist's good and that Snake and Michel continue with Voivod, however it's hard to replace Piggy. I hope that they'll continue with Jean-Yves Theriault.

[Shockheadd45]

WTF Everyone?? Am I the only dude who remembers Phobos from 1996?? Because despite Eric Forrest's mediocre vocal performance, that album had a great, solid, spacey-crunchy groove aspect to it. But Dimension Hatross, Nothingface, and Killing Technology, and War & Pain, are my favorite albums.

[TheMoi]

How can you "remember" it if you're only 16yo? I mean, don't act like you were listening to voivod in 96.

[Shockheadd45]

I meant the album date, not my age. I listened to them 7-8 years ago, when growing up.

[Panchitofin]

Cool!

I don't remember hearing them that young, but i do remember seeing the Phobos album in a store and it somehow scared the shit out of me.

[Shockheadd45]

The music will scare the shit out of you too, lol. When I saw that planet-humanoid freak, I thought "Well at least Earth isn't the only fucked-up looking planet in space now."

[Panchitofin]

yeah i know, i listened to Phobos a bit yesterday, it was awesome!

btw are you gonna buy Infini when it's released?

[Shockheadd45]

HAHHAA, Yeah I wish, when I actually have money to spend, lol. And yeah Phobos rules, it took more than a 8 months for that album to grow on me, and now I humbly am glad to say, that is definitely of their best.

[Jestas77]

I remember Phobos, I love it, and Idon't think that Forrest' performance is mediocre. I love every Voivod album, although I think the best part goes from Killing Technology to Outer Limits, both included. Before they were just one of the bunch, not yet defined, after that they kinda lost the vibe, but still Phobos and Katorz are really great albums IMHO (and even the others, to a lesser extent)

[Shockheadd45]

Yeah probably half on Phobos, he growled like a scary beast straight from the deep depths from unknown space territory, just to scare the shit out of everyone, he fucking ruled. His Death Metal-like vocals were sick. Voivod was always great, and never had one bad album. But to me, DH, KT, N, P, AR, OL, W&P, K, I (everything except Roaaaarrr!!) was always great. Their first album was a weird, but was still cool. On their 2nd album, they caught my attention and got really great at Prog Metal.

[Jestas77]

maybe you are confusing something, the first album is W&P (which was remastered and reissued a few years ago, but originally published in 1984), RRROOOAAARRR! is the second, KT is the third, you probably meant that one with your last statement?

[Shockheadd45]

Yeah, sorry lol, they have so many albums. I forgot the order of only the first 2 lol.Thank you for correcting me, lol.

[voronOsphere]

Great Animation of Away's great art. Did he animate it? Great Song & Video!

[Zz0tt]

unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful

[SEAHAGS76]

Even if its not Thrash I still like there change its different but cool.

[gpalmamrw]

I wouls really love if the next Voivod album would mix this progressive cybermetal sound with old ass raping post-armaggedon thrash metal of the first years, that would totally kick major ass, maybe something between katorz, Dimension Hatross and War And Pain.

R.I.P. Piggy.

[sluana1]

Listen to a new Voivod song on my page, its from the new album, due out in june 09.

Album is called Infini.

[good222speed]

i can t wait for the new album ,i hope it won t be the last!!

[therealBombenhagel]

PIGGY LIVES \m/

[kingfowley]

anyone who puts contrived, shit bands like metallica in the same breath as music first bands like voivod should just really be ignored as much as possible when talking about music!

[kjk811]

I kind of agree with bonbonchanson, although I do think Death Magnetic is the best thing Metallica has made in years. But Voi Vod, these guys don't give a fuck about what's relevent their music is timeless, and I think they're in a class of music on their own. Not many bands can claim that.

[WolfangAurus]

@kjk811 Please, Metallica doesn't exist anymore! And Voivod was the great Voivod when Piggy rocked out with Blacky, Snake and Away. But Voiovd is making their songs to the people who is interested in them. Metallica is making songs to their banks account and for the dog's and grandmas' iPods.

[Vxitha]

@WolfangAurus i feel awfull about false judgments like that... also sorry and angry... but its good there are few people who think like You. It's just not true.

Metallica IS best hard music composer and all.

[WolfangAurus]

@Vxitha Yes, those few thinkers are people that don't give up to mainstream, and that was Metallica before. Now children listen to Metallica, and they rhink they're cool. But that's not the meaning. The idea is feeling how is the music, the harmony, the well elaborated solos... And they WERE the thrash metal great guys .

[Vxitha]

@WolfangAurus

1) No - MetallicA is such famous that mainstream people turn their attention to them. Tell me, You will become Bieber fan ? I dont think so(of You talk but i dont care). Enter sandman and rest of MAINSTREAM songs(mainstream or silly in You kinda thinking) are just great that's all, how can they be passed bye? have to look this that way : they are doing what they want - thats the free people choice - im right?

[Vxitha]

@WolfangAurus

so they make such music and wear clothes from armani or what else - beacouse they want, can't You see it that way? WHY?

2) Maybe children listen to MetallicA.

3) No one will never take their place in heavy music history - a throne.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@Vxitha Metallica has no throne and they deserve none. A washed-up old school thrash band turned radio-friendly tripe. They're the metal version of the Jonas Brothers now.

[metathrash121]

I just newly heard this great Canadian band along with Annihilator. Aside from this great album, KATORZ, can any true Voivod fan tell me what's their another great album?

[tolvana]

Easily, let me help.

- "Killing Technology"

- "Dimension Hatröss"

Something to start with. Even "RRRÖÖÖAAARRR!!!" is absolutely great, you only need some love towards extreme hardcore-metal to understand it. It took me some months to get into that album in -88.

Otherwise, Voi vod is beautiful and mellow music. The band has evolved like Pink Floyd from album to album, so there is no real way to put some album in a better light than an other. They are all masterpieces.

[jek21]

I would say "Dimension Hatross" and "Nothingface" are good places to start.

[blackcorridors]

I love the atmosphere on this one, beautiful video. (and musically Voivod kick ass of course)

[violetu]

THIS BAND OWNS AND FUCK DEATH MAGNETIC! the new Metallica they don't have any thrash ! its modern kaka rock !

[fuckwithfire1984]

Pretty sweet video

[nigletgook]

i'd have to say the whole katorz album blows death magnetic away as far as production, playing, talent, lyrics, and over all energy, sure their songs are stripped down here and less technical but there is a ton of power and his vocals are cool on this unlike james's sober raspy can't sign vocals. I do like DM as far as music goes. James however needs help! VOIVOD RULES HANDS DOWN!.

[MutantDaddy666]

brings me back to my youth....if record sales are an indicator of talent or influence amongst talented musicians, where does that put idiots such as Dip Shiddy or Whinya West?

No need for the bickering, though, too many bands nowadays are recycling Crue and "shudders" the whole glam sound...not knocking Metallica, but Voivod influenced more musicians than they did....

[thesethingsihate]

Yet another awesome song by Voivod. It's such a sad thing that Piggy died - on par with the death of Cliff Burton, although I suppose Piggy had more time to show his talents.

[ericet74]

I can not believe someone suggested this is better than Metallica's Cyanide. Give me a break these guys have never been near to the tallica talent ever.

[ScreamingSadist]

Is that a personal preference or is it because Metallica has sold more records?

Record sales doesn't prove shit regarding talent! People like Britney Spears have sold millions and how much musical talent does she have? Very little!

[GoatShadow]

I do admit that Metallica does not really have good riffs. accept for Master..and some few songs.. but Kirk is a respected lead guitar. and cliff was an extremely good bassist.

[markhaap]

yes they have ben beter from the start or at least after Mustian was gone he worht the good songs anyway

[Voivodian89]

Don't Touch VOIVOD!.............CYANIDE IS FUCKING SHIT! POLAROIDS IS A TYPICAL VOIVOD SONG!

[bluerainer]

Cyanide DESTROYS any song by Voivod.

Just because you like a band that isn't that well known, doesn't mean you're a rebel (like you think you are) and it certainly doesn't make the band any good. Voivod is garbage. That's the bottom line, so you can shut out the lights and close down these comments.

[tetuhetu]

It's not because you don't like Voivod, that Voivod is garbage. Polaroids is a far more original song than Cyanide.I think you are such a devoted Metallica fan that any negative comments about them makes you lose it and write garbage like this.I agree that some people shit on Metallica and Death magnetic because they wanna play true metal heads.Death magnetic is overall a good record and deserves respect.But please dont't piss on a great band like voivod because of that.Thank you!

[TheMotogavlas84]

@tetuhetu

Come on, metallica was ok till black album ( not included).

Who criticizes Voivod is at least an ignorant.

[fredhaemmon]

@tetuhetu A(fucking)MEN

[thesethingsihate]

LOL at: ' Cyanide DESTROYS any song by Voivod'.

MAJOR FAIL. Come back in a few years, kid, when your pubic hair has grown around your dick and your balls have dropped, and then say that. Cyanide is a joke, the whole new album is wank. Compared to St. Anger, it's alright, but that in no way makes it anywhere close to Voivod.

[kikibortok]

i never heard of Cyanide. most be a pure invention.

[Listendudeok]

garbage or not bluerainer, I suggest you listen to Psychic Vacuum by VoiVod, it suits you quite well. And I mean especially the title.

[bonbonchanson]

hardly being a rebel, i was listening to voivod in grade 8 before i listened to slayer and metallica. you obviously don't really like metal at all by calling voivod garbage. metallica haven't been relevant since justice. that must hurt.

[karpet]

And I heard someone complaining about Jame's vocals... And what about this guy's voice? F*CK

[nekryd]

Great song and bass is awesome

[imaginifer]

awesome, fantanstic and disturbing.

just great!

[ToniTonallo]

me gusta este disco

[physicsbunny]

digging through the trash to get to the thrash

[hfyuutr]

nice vid

[thrashaddiction]

ONE of the true original metal bands of our time..retaining that quirky CANADIAN sound that so many others have tried to capture....

[XXheathenXX]

Great song and video =)

[Casar1973]

It may have been 17/18 years since I listened to Voivod, I used to be really into that stuff for a while. This still sounds good to me, it retains their sound but doesn´t sound dated at all. Nice.

[AerisTerrae]

Not so good like songs from Dimension Hatross or Nothingface but still great...

Voivod !!!

Piggy [*]

[Mechmike30]

Anybody know where the mill footage was taken

[IaIaCthulhuFthagn]

Amazing. Absolutely unique as always.

[jerryskid1]

Will Voivod ever tour again? Replacing Piggy is impossible.

[jartor666]

Yes, next year, they touring with Andreas Kisser from Sepultura, and next year we have another Voivod album.

Voivod is an incredible band, and Jason jamming with Andreas on stage, they really going to kick some asses.

[NickolausPacione]

Andreas filling in for Piggy? This is huge. This will launch them to supermetalgroup. I just hope Andreas can do the Sci-Fi guitar work

[goldenlarry]

this Is from Katorz!(re8978)
