Porcupine Tree, A Smart Kid, May 1999, San Francisco

[Radioswim]

for the love of music! Remove this awful recording and go see them live and REQUEST THAT THEY PLAY THIS SONG! I have been dieing to hear them play this live since I became a fan in 2000. This video (no offense to the uploader) really spits on the awesome quality of Porcupine Tree and steven wilson in general.

[DudemanofAwesome]

Geez, Maitland was so boring. He's just sort of sitting back there, going through the motions. I mean, he's a fine drummer, and I liked him with Guilt Machine, but come on, guy, make it look interesting! Do something! Don't just nod your head! Do a barrel roll, something!

@DudemanofAwesome shit up idiot

[DudemanofAwesome]

@Byzancedark Reading your comment, the classic "get a brain morans" picture comes to mind. Have a nice day :)

[Byzancedark]

@DudemanofAwesome Dont you realize how stupid is your comment? dont blame me, blame yourself for being that idiot. Im a drummer.

Steven looks like Ozzy :)

(maybe it's the glasses)

[LucicPower]

@Tbannu LOL LOL LOL what a contrast one raisin brain the other a garden of creativity

[dambi91]

@LucicPower Don't you dare insult The Prince of Darkness...

[metalrules13]

@dambi91 Prince of Darkness? LOL, maybe 40 years ago. Ozzy is one of the most overrated "musicians" of all time.

[dambi91]

@metalrules13 You could use arguments cause without them I can't distinguish if you're just some kind of metal hipster or troll or intelligent man.

[metalrules13]

@dambi91 Fair enough. 1)Ozzy is a washed up old man who has been a puppet of his wife/manager for the last 40+ years, doing anything possible to ruin his legacy (reality show, Maiden egging incident, ripping-off his former bandmates etc). So much for his "Prince Of Darkness" image. 2)Ozzy has never written any music or lyrics at all, neither with Sabbath nor with his solo band. Just vocal melodies. 3)While this is kind of subjective, Ozzy has a very bad sounding and incredibly limited voice.

Brings me back to the old days in kindergarden

[Venomous9]

Richard looks much younger, but for some reason Steven looks much older...maybe it's just me.

[kantefier]

My favourite song. Thanks!

You can notice how Steven's vocal has changed through the years.
