The Drones - "The Minotaur" ATP Recordings

[encpunk]

not the real UK punk DRONES



[gereorth666]

I had this wierd dream that a band called "The Drones" existed. And that they were one of the most awesome bands. So I woke up in a shock! "GOTTA SEARCH FOR THE DRONES!"..

Sometimes.. I love my dreams.

[BlankTV]

@gereorth666 no way!

:D

[gereorth666]

@BlankTV I shit you not! It's true! Becouse otherwise I would'nt even know about them! :P

[aztec7846]

To be fair, drum is similar to leg of lamb.

But even still then.. it's not a qotsa ripoff band mate. haha.

[astemostevenson]

you sad pathetic troll

[staypuftUT]

awesome song

[MrLuctuosa]

your heros guitar sound is dime a dozen kid hes a preppy brat like u his vocals are nonsense like a tard on a sugar rush and wen it comes to watered down alt drivel i think the comparison is spot on so go put a foo fighters album on you come lately sycophant

[thebaronofsentiment]

@MrLuctuosa what is this?!...I don't even...

[flotingmike12]

@thebaronofsentiment i kinda agree with him lol

[MrLuctuosa]

these QOTSA wannabes need to stop this crap and go back to their law degrees

[thebaronofsentiment]

@MrLuctuosa pretty sure Josh Homme's voice sounds like honey. Gareth Liddiard's sounds like a sawmill. Pretty sure QOTSA's guitar tones are pretty smooth compared to the nails on the chalkboard Drones tone. I think you should pick another band dude.

[MrLuctuosa]

more puss from the east

[MrLuctuosa]

aussie music is garbage from divinyls to nick cave a complete joke contribution to rock -pah

[thebaronofsentiment]

@MrLuctuosa you best be trolling.

[MrLuctuosa]

that guy is a retard terrible rubbish

[CounterNormal]

The fuck is a degrassi?

[Rodwen89]

painfully underrated.

[14GRUNGE]

LOVE this song killer OZ Rock !

[14GRUNGE]

"...spends all day lookin' at porno playin' Fucken Halo 2..."

lol

[lomelilisa]

damn this is awsome

[Freddyfartbox]

Fuck I love this band. I saw them once about 2 years ago at my local and they were fucking unreal.

[chrissaltel]

wow wow wow wow wow wow. floored.

[everennui]

Six peoples impression of the video was negative.

[japeyejones9]

this band is abosolutely amazing great song writing /lyrics with bands of this calibre i think australian music is in safe hands....

[therealmaccattack]

love it

[grahamlaur]

I hear some Beefheart, some Gang of Four, some Fugazi, some Birthday Party. But those are just influences - I wouldn't call this a rip-off at all. The band is amazing and really sounds like nothing else today.

[readbenjamin]

sounds like the drones

[IWreckon]

Fuckin' love Aussies. Every one I met had a shared love of old Degrassi (same age as me). This is the sort of music that exemplifies the Aussie spirit of kickin' ass and writing powerful music. Fantastic.

[ManuelAndCallisyn]

@thebronzebat mmm, I guess I can see that

two great bands

[camc23]

sounds so raw, love it.

[07yas]

Steady as she goes+Crying Lightning=The Minotaur

[hornraiser]

this band is so for ahead of the game it's sick.

google the lyrics to this song. they might very well describe 95% if the idiots on the internet.

as a lyricist/songwriter, gareth liddiard is up there with dylan. to even mention gareth liddiard/the drones and anything that horrid brendan benson does in the same breath is blasphemous.

of course, it's all subjective. if shit music is your thing, there's plenty out there. have at it.

[Mufc4ever2007]

yeaa one riff sounds like crying lightning, the bass line a little like steady as she goes, not keen on this though :/

[chrissshogarthhh]

i thought it sounded more like -steady as she goes

[zlWilsonlz]

how the fuck does this sound anything like Crying Lightning????

[vanweiden93]

it sound a bit like Crying Lightning. but Crying Lightning is much better! ;)

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

I hate that i'm bitter that so many skinny jean indie douches have been told it's ok to like this band but i fucking am. You are the equivalent of new metal kids dressing like Fred Durst ten years back. You all look the same. The thing about trends is they go as quickly as they come, you are already a parody and a cliche. Next middle class kid who trades in his fully sick VN ute for an obscure 60's car and all of a sudden decides he's deep and brooding i am going to choke with his fucking scarf.

[MrJacro3]

Mate, if you loathe the world that much you got two options; 1. Top yourself 2. Put your TISM record on again

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

I don't loathe the world, just dickheads. You fit pretty firmly into my description huh?

And what the fuck does TISM have to do with anything?

[MrJacro3]

I might fit into your description, I don't know.

The only reason I raised TISM, is because you seemed to accurately share their cynicism over such things.

Don't worry about it man, I was only joking

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

Ahhhh, i never really got into them but they sound like geniuses!

I suppose i was being pretty pissy, that opinion is something i could have kept to myself.

[lorenyork]

You suppose you were being pissy?

Moar liek a skinny jean emo/dramaqueen douche......

Try not giving a shit about how other people dress or act. Instead, focus on your own life and let them fill the cliches if they wish. =)

I promise you, the world will never be rid of cliche's until such time as the human race is extinct; thus, there is no sense in stressing over it! =)

PS- I like this song. Then again I like Missy Higgins, Dimmu Borgir and everything in between. Haha!

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

You're a cockhead  =)

[lorenyork]

I hate haters! Haha

[StrangelyBrownNo1]

Probably nothing, but lets keep talking about them. They were awesome.

[JamesDeLaSchiante]

Can't get this out of my head.. Check their cover of 200 years. Amazing band. Fuck yes

[Chewy240284]

Holy Shit. Love it. Raw

[thatkidnamedblair]

i had sex with the singer!!!

[gawkie]

Yeah? When?

He's married to the bassist.

Idiot.

[NoiseMathRock]

[ThePonyIsGone]

saw the drummer (Michael Noga)at the republic in hobart on saturday doing a solo acoustic show...definitely recommended

nice guy too, funny as hell

[lurkmerchant]

great song,trippy video and that bass player is really sexy,would'nt mind doing her at all,I wonder which one in the band(including the sound guy and L.D.)is shagging her.

[My6thAccount]

should we tell him

[punk91]

this is sweet

[MachBaron68]

mix Joe Strummer with Television and you get the DRONES! great stuff!

[zardrobot]

Great song from a fucking great "Aussie" band!!!

[Jiy1982]

Is this a modern song? Its so hard to tell but I bloody love it!

[PuNkLiKeSkuNk]

It sounds like The Clash, isn't it?

[itstshirtweather]

fucking awesome

[ferlicious420]

This song gives me a massive erection. So good. I can't believe I actually saw them live. Doovies Davies is amazing.

[Doovies]

You would think they were good. You spend all day lookin' at porno and playin' FAAARKen Halo 2. Oh yeah, also, we didn't see The Drones...we saw The Clash remember? Duh.

[fakernamer123]

Fucking Awesome

[sallyheartjack]

This is the first time I'm listening to this band, I think I'll look into them.

[Lehjiot]

This sounds like real punk

not like those soft punk bastards ¬.¬

[loser931]

good song
