Silversun Pickups, "Panic Switch"

[darkxxhimxxlight]

I like that his voice is as unique as the music. Anyone saying they sound like smashing pumpkins needs to listen again.... Much more complex vocaly, lyricaly, musicaly, hands down their own sound!

[nickelsaarrowads]

It's NOT a chick lead singer?? MIND BLOWN. I had no fucking clue, lol

[sicpit]

I recomend anyone trying to learn/practice this on the bass to use this live version to play along with. *Cheers*

[MsZombiewaffles]

He sounds sick

[badfoody]

i use to imagine that the vocalist was a superhot chick. BONER KILLED

[leewater12]

@badfood LOL..

oh wait. You said vocalist, not bassist.

[xxYalopozaxx]

i've been on that tour!!

[vanessawelck1]

I thought it was a woman singing for a while..until I youtubed it. LOL!

[hewa094]

LOVELOVELOVE

[jcvideosification]

This sounds like a guy, but the recorded version definitely sounds a bit feminine...

[antraxbreakfest69]

^lieing milk sucking air breathing dike lord ass fuck o's. example studio version he sounds like a tottal chick and you know it! reedum and reep. awsome band none the less though.

[antraxbreakfest69]

well that just shows what voice editing is capable of...tottaly sounds like a dude now that its live. fuck the industry and most of all fuck salt.

[czesioparalityk]

It seems gay to me to think that was woman's voice...

[munkeefork69]

WTFBBQ?! IT'S NOT A CHICK DOING VOCALS?!!?! FUCK!!!!!!!! ALL MENTAL IMAGES RUINED!!!!!!

[wonktacy123]

Im not a fan of that girl

[skate4live11]

@wonktacy123 she makes the most beautifull bass lines and her singing is pretty good to? why would you not like her?

[metalarmaggeddon]

@adamriordanlovespunk or kurt cobains he has a distinct voice too

[metalarmaggeddon]

this bands fuckin awesome but it pisses me off when my mom says theyre like kings of leon cause i cant stand kings of leon lol

[W806D]

the voice fits the unbelieveable music ability. It just works and it KICKS ASS. great musicians, great band.

[MEHpewpewMEH]

i bet that bass line is hard for her to play. crappy women bassists..

[arthursnotking]

@MEHpewpewMEH lol misogyny...but for cereals, she does seem to have a problem playing triplets -_-

[jd30LPdef]

suena como mujer

[sbodkins]

god that sounded amazing live love it :)

[huschusser]

Brian auberts voice is too good to be compared to billy corgans -___-

[MrMelodyCold]

when i saw "sucker punch" i swore that singer was a female

[arthursnotking]

@MrMelodyCold everyone knows smothering your ears in molasses helps you fall asleep at night, but you gotta see a doctor if you become dependent on that sleep aid.

[DigitalPimpSlap]

@GSPLIC3R I discovered this song playing Rocksmith :P

[TheDeathNote2]

Lmao when I first heard this song I thought it was a chick singing until I saw the lazy eye music video :( I thought I was in love no homo lmao XD

[Xplodel23a8c]

he sounds alot like billy corgan!XD

[luisdommy]

well I know its been said, but he does sound like a girl, and up until now I thought it was

[GSPLIC3R]

I hate to be "that person", but am I the only one who discovered this song on Rockband3?

[Meeker128]

I miss the second "waiting and fading and floating away".

[MrMaverickStoedter]

I was just listening to this song on itunes and couldn't stop smiling. This song has to be one of the greatest songs I've heard in a while.

[TheMoonShades2009]

It sounds nothing like a girl on the recording. LISTEN! Do these girls you all know have big hands and an Adam's Apple, by any chance?

[Lewis0Bunney]

@TheMoonShades2009 I beat ya to this comment :P

[iiRatedd]

it sonds like a girl on the rocording and radio but this doesnt

[Alishas69]

Umm i never thought it was a girl singing and quite frankly i think he has a sexy unique voice

[YuriHanaY]

@Alishas69 THAT IS A WOMAN... Indeed, he does have a very sultry voice. :D

[LuisCarrera3]

this version of the song is way better

[kanexito5]

yeahh!!! nice song

[RightfullyRed]

The recording sounds kinda like a girl

[gavsk8s]

props dude and dudette :) nice job!

[bartsimpsonsprank]

......i......i don't know it sounded like a girl over the radio and it still does. it's the way he sings it i dont know, that and panic switch is synonymous to the movie suckerpunch

[TheAmericanArts]

ive listened to this band for years. they still amaze me tot his day. none of there songs get old. NONE

[korichamberlain]

I'm looking at him, and still think it sounds like a female. Beautiful all the same.

[TheeDevilWearsPrada]

Damn, he looks different here wtf? I just came back from watching 2006 videos of SSPickups, back when they first started? And he looks like a different person now. He looks like Keanu Reeves here. You know.. the guy that played Neo in the Matrix? I think that was his name.. the dude that dodges bullets like nothing lol.

[Mata92058]

I love this band! he has a high pitched voice but it doesn't sound like a girl.... if you think he sounds like a girl then give me an example but I dont understand why people think that. This band is awesome and the fact that they are EVEN more awesome live is why they are one of my FAVORITE bands of all time!

[Daryamua]

@Mata92058 yessss!! intantly LOVED THEM!! HAUNTING SOUND!! THAT SHIT STAYS WITH U!!! GREAT BAND!!!

[adamriordanlovespunk]

@Mata92058 Why do people really think that? It just doesn't make sense he doesn't sound anything like a girl. His voice is unique like a voice that's so original like Billy Corgan's voice soo beautiful.

[arthursnotking]

@adamriordanlovespunk ...because men, real men, are supposed to sing with deep bellowing voices with a spectrum of emotions ranging from anger to rage.

[adamriordanlovespunk]

@arthursnotking exactly

[975mas]

@arthursnotking False. Some men can't help to have a high-pitched voice. I could go into the a whole biology lesson here but face it, not all men are meant to have "Deep bellowing voices". Just because a man has around a tenor voice, or any high pitch than that, doesn't make then any less of a male. Just check between those guy's legs and see for yourself if he's a male or not.

[975mas]

@adamriordanlovespunk I agree! I think its amazing when men have a distinct voice. Corgan's voice happens to be my favorite because I have yet to find a guy who has a voice just like him..some come close, but not close enough!

[ashisevildead]

@Mata92058 First time I heard them I thought he sounded a bit like Stevie Nicks, but she has a pretty husky voice.

[evev146]

@Mata92058 they sound like smashing pumpkins

[NobreSLB4ever]

Where the hell is the best part of the song (solo & the part when he screams just before the final chorus)??

[keybearersora]

@Lewis0Bunney THANK YOU. Those people are deaf.

[daimingburai]

aww they left out the loud "waiting fading and floating away" part. that's my favorite part of the song.

[SLYDOGPRODUCTIONS]

eversince lazy i thought it was a girl. then i saw him sing. Then im like, fits him.

[MrSebaspks]

del putas!!....

[lazymage99]

@ nuke97 lol!!!

[DerrickRosa1996]

I love this proformace an she gained gain weight

[nuke97]

Ha ha as I listen to this song sometimes I think "GOD I love that girls voice !!" then i'm like Oh wait it's the guy :/

[smokindaze1168]

he does sound like a girl i was surprised to find out its a guy

[wbaiv]

Yeah, when a song is this good and the band gets it right, the acoustic version works at least as well as the electric. Both are smokin' hot! I *did* think the lead vocal was a woman's voice. A close listen would have revealed the truth, but I was too busy digging it the first, oh, 25 times. I'll always remember hearing this for the first time What an awesome song- an instant classic. This and the LA radio station unplugged version with the whole band just totally rock. Like Nirvana Unplugged.

[MannyXj1]

Does anyone else like this just as much or more than the studio version? I can't get over these videos. Nikki is an awesome bass player and Brian has wicked unique vocals. Love Silversun Pickups!!

[Teaglex93]

all i got to say is Geddy lee :D

[bunniescreed619]

There is something strange about the top-rated comment... But I just can't see it...

[Cesiabassas10128]

i loveeeeeeeeeeee silversun pickups i love there music soooooo much!

[XxVisceralxX]

*Monninger

[XxVisceralxX]

@Dfins79: Hey asshole, fuck outta here!! Nobody cares.

Anyway, that, what you just watched, is what separates truly talented artists from the ones who are a flash in the trendy pan. When you can strip it all down to it's bare elements, yet it STILL sounds amazing. Thanks goes out to Nikki Monniger and Bryan Aubert for making the world a better place

[Mata92058]

@XxVisceralxX BRAVO!!!!!! I agree 200%!!!

[coldplayforever1]

best voice, c:

girl bass players, (Y)

[GAMEtruTV]

WTF? THE LEAD SINGER IS A GUY? WTF...LISTEN TO THE SONG ON ITUNES..IT SOUNDS LIKE A CHICK...

[Lewis0Bunney]

@GAMEtruTV What kind of manly ass women have you met?

[GAMEtruTV]

@Lewis0Bunney None. Just regular girls. on the track on itunes he sounds like achick.. here he sounds likea guy..

[Lewis0Bunney]

@GAMEtruTV I've heard all their songs... I don't hear it... XD

[GAMEtruTV]

@Lewis0Bunney i heard the song alot before i actually knew the band. so that may have had something to do with it.. lol

[GwendolynRaine]

The studio version of this song sounds like they merged both of their voices to make one. It's actually kind of weird.

[Tinytunes2133]

*way

.-.

[Tinytunes2133]

he doesnt sound likee that....he sings that was and its awesome

.-.

[007porque]

FUCKIN' EARGASM .... PERIOD nooope chick testa XDD STILL EARGASM chuck ... sorry XD

[bendaddypurps]

[starry5238]

He does not sound like a chick.

[uliseto]

What the!....you know what im gonna say, so i won't say it u.u

[burgeprvn]

if he sounds like a girl then nikki can't play bass

[joncwriter]

Man, that bass line still kicks my ass when I try to play it. O_O

[Penclshrpnr]

3:16 onward <3

[alexandra61809]

its a guy!?!?! but its ok hes kinda cute =P

[djkinney]

EVERYONE thinks it's the girl singing. Don't feel bad. It's a serious mindfuck.

[mytayang]

Damn . His voice freaking awesome ! but weird how you can think this girl voice ?

[Melovejaredleto]

wat a sexy voice XD

[yikster]

I guess this prove that if you look like Tom Delonge then you will have a unique voice.

[vndinvalcone]

LMAO...my thoughts exactly...Ive always thought that the lead singer was the girl also

[killcaustic2011]

I love silversun pickups :) amazing.. he does not sound like a woman.. lol smh

[vinyyc01]

the singer looks like Lionel Messi kkkkkk

[kimitchell]

I thought it was girl when I first heard this song lol, epic song though

[Lewis0Bunney]

What's with all the people thinking a girl sings it? 0_o He sounds nothing like a girl...

[yiskathenightmare]

@Lewis0Bunney

if you listen to the radio version he sounds much more feminine. dude or chick, the song is awesome!

[Lewis0Bunney]

@yiskathenightmare I've heard all the versions... Is till don't hear it.

[yiskathenightmare]

@Lewis0Bunney

[locke180]

@Lewis0Bunney on the radio version the vocals sound like a girls

[Stratodreamer]

@Lewis0Bunney they must date girls that sounds like this :P

[sum41kicksa55]

@Lewis0Bunney FIrst time I heard the recording I thought it was a girl to but its just a guy with a raspy but good voice

[PatrickCA]

@Lewis0Bunney Your right my bad.  This guy cleans up after Panic Switch video. Love this music

[Justice4alz]

Weird... am I the only person who never thought it was a girl singing this song?

[HandsomePagan]

[klonofan]

@HandsomePagan omaiga! D: 28 xD(?)

[mrbeavis12]

@Justice4alz Wow! me too, I would never be able to tell it was a guy singing this song, well at least from the studio version

[jeppioe]

His voice is amazing!

[PeaceLoveAndRobots]

oh my wow, this is soooo much more amazing than i thought it would be

[ratchet1215]

The girl looks like CollegeHumor's Sarah Schneider, but hotter.

[Manolop426]

iT SOUNDS GREAT I LOVE IT. GREAT JOB

[DM101lover101]

My friend told me about this band and to check out this song. I'm listening thinking, "oh yeah I've heard this several times" then I'm amazed cause this whole time I thought a woman sang it. I'll be damned!!

[Clearlacca]

Great voice. Top song.

[timetilldeath25]

[Jbaxter792]

Wow. Great tune! I'm really impressed with them, especially Nikki... man, she's really working on the bass! My hands are hurting just watching her! Awesome.

[thesal512]

@Jbaxter792 i shook hands with her ...her hands are all rough i dont think she feels anymore on her hands they were that bad

[voltron5]

As much as i love suckerpunch..I don't give a fuck...just listen to the music and relax

[megawatermelon101]

sucker punch was sad when he shot that girl in the back of her head soooo sad ;''(

[sdasbengal]

the acoustic version here is so amazing...fabulous band fab album.

[gordokc77]

Brian, genius god-given voice. Hope to see you live if you ever get back to KCMO

[stingray816]

@Killerladies1 I hate you.



[ItsNickHD]

[XAdiehSugarlessX]

@zacharytheknight e-e ...pervert...

[paramoretony]

That man is sexy

[chivs0811]

he is gorgeous

[tnegit]

He really like that jacket huh?

[ozziskatesthebeans]

5 people love the cock.

[nikstefonov]

@ozziskatesthebeans nope... 468 love cocks, another 6 r had ones... and one more... Bassist is taking drugs, or doing too much alcohol, she needs to have some professional help...

[09Savvy]

he is hot. so is the band. but he is hot.

[Maraldez]

What an amazing performance. So proffessional. :)

[holysnackpack]

The bassist is so hot

[tnegit]

Silversun Pickups...Seriously...What a band! Luv their music!

[Technaugure]

I'm sure this song could be played on a triangle and still sounds genious ...

[TheIzzat95]

i like his natural voice..

[countrycamocutie]

looks like an older david cook

[Baybayskids]

keanu reeves

[niel80]

Owww Cute Cute Nikki!

[guttermoth]

Brian kinda looks like david arquette in certain angles.

[Boeki90]

he´s hot :)

[waygriz1]

She is playing the shit out of that bass...Great song

[cameronavett]

i guess the 5 people that thumbed down this song were very drunk..

[brassmunkeey]

Anyone think he looks like Neo with facial hair??? or is it just me

[cristiancastro1978]

I love this song i can't stop listen

[ljcdssoccer]

At first thought it was a girl. What is wrong with his voice. Love the song though and the girl looks really bored/unhappy

[Darkcloyd]

i thought the lead was a girl lolz.. was very surprised to see its a him. still love this song. he has a great voice.

[l3r0ii]

@15TIMMEH 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. aren't the only beats.

[klysaght12345]

Brian just whips out the mini Maracas!

[sakuraysasuke94]

LA VDD SEE LA RIIFAN USTEEDES I LOVEE SILVERSUN PICKUPS :D

[moustachemoe]

I honestly like this song best when it's live like this.

[FrittierteEnte]

this is very original, everything, the chords+bass line, and the two voices, i mean they work perfectly togehter! its definintely not mainstream!

[theflea9]

The way they look at each other 3:20-3:30 is like if they are saying, "Damn your amazing ;)"

[theflea9]

Now this is awesome :) i've watched like so many of their videos (mostly all of them) and nikki and brian move their left leg at the same time......!

[elbowonfire]

after this dude passes away they need to put his voice box in a fucking museum

[carpenostrum]

@elbowonfire So agree!

[fusko9999]

Sound isn't balanced, Bass is to high, the Audio engineer needs to step up there gain, or shall i say game

[Martusciellass]

He's HOT!

Silv
