The Icarus Line - "Feed A Cat To Your Cobra" video

[imjeff3]

This is my first time ever hearing the Icarus line and I can see a lot of bands these days that follow the influence of this band. Not a bad shadow to pursue.

[iamlawrencebricher]

Wow, here's a great idea...

Like a band without hating another in order to do so

[feralpriest]

fightstar? hahaha oh my sides, next youl be telling me Mcfly are punk rock. i liked this single.

[LoomVideos]

maybe Aaron can re-join now Jubilee seems stuck in hell.

[BornScreaming]

don't feed a cat to your cobra kids

[SimplyShadow]

these guys got energy.

[makenzielost]

if they're so terrible then why the fuck are you listening to them?

[CRIMSAUSAGE]

I don't it... If people don't like it, why do they a) watch it on youtube and b) comment on it as if everyone who likes it is gonna say "Oh that random person is pathetic enough to watch a band they don't like then comment on it, I guess I'll change my opinion and won't like them either."

Who gives a shit if they copied/were copies by anyone, just enjoy the music that they make because they love to make.

[reginaldbowlsiii]

This is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen or heard.

[DanWIW]

@reginaldbowlsiii i bet you like beyonce

[gauchebag]

what a terrible band

[ImmortalDestructor]

The ending, HOLY SHIT that takes balls!

[str0kerace]

rock n roll WIN

[itsthatsebguy93]

what's their best album?

[oohahtokyodecadence]

this is a band i've always WANTED to like... they're a bit too cool for school- i.e. they won't/can't write a song you can sing along to, which IS NOT rock 'n roll... Iggy, Bauhaus, even Fugazi had hooks with the mayhem and darkness...

[hvylobster]

im sorry you can only like mainstream pop music and cannot accept the underground for what it is

[fastrnb]

@oohahtokyodecadence

I was loving the first minute and a half or so, sounded like a bit like Nation of Ulysses.

They tried to have a complicated arrangement, but to me it sounds more like three songs that could have been pretty good on their own.

[itsthatsebguy93]

the guitarist looks a bit like the singer from the rites of spring...

[deceitfulMe]

omg they awsome!

[telecaster1963]

Horror High II

[anythinggoesforthis]

I remember seeing them in Manchester UK, The Distillers were headlining and The Icarus Line got booed off stage.

[hdje39m8]

I saw them in 1874 in Ol Toms Barn , i think theyd been drinkin moonshine and needless to say they were pretty raucous .......i believe that was the day when RnR was born if i remember clearly

[wingeddemon5807]

1874 lol

[TheIkaraCult]

I was disappointed, i preferred the earlier stuff.

[hdje39m8]

Oh well nevermind , bands cant stay great forever , why do we think they can ? Of course they cant ...move on

[harybosco]

@hdje39m8 die

[NatuVisu]

Never heard of these guys before tonight (this morning)... but hell yeah! reminds me of Scratch Acid with a touch of Fad Gadget.

Killer funk.

[jochn666]

sick energy of aaron north

love it

[twadorno666]

10/10 band, 10/10 song, 10/10 album. fucking flawless.

[BlankVide0]

mcr aint the only ones to dress like that. a lot of people do.

you must be sad to copy the mcr style though. such a gay band

[alsatiancousin1]

haha I know they´re really silly.

I do still like a few of their singles though.

but theyre so catchy so its kinda hard not to...

:-)

[prankster101]

mcr, the hives, lost prophets, fightstar have ALL copied the icarus line.

the icarus line are true originals.

[fastrnb]

@prankster101

Funny, I thought the Hives were ripping off Nation of Ulysses and the Make Up.

[EvilEmpire200616]

@prankster101 Not exactly the best bands to be copied by...

[trannyguy8000]

@prankster101

In what universe did the Hives "copy" the Icarus Line? Is everyone aware that no one ever gave two shits about this band outside desperate altrock fags and and a couple of LA heads like 9 years ago?

[dewitttttt]

@prankster101 ...and Icarus Line have copied Drive Like Jehu

[christlicker]

@prankster101 You are an idiot.

[musicforchewfaygs]

@prankster101 pretty sure the hives were the aborted fetus of the rolling stones raping nirvana. i don't hear much icarus line in them. i agree with mcr though. i never did like those guys.

[WolvesarenotViolet]

@musicforchewfaygs xD

[iancant]

@prankster101 not really, what about refused?

[24hourmurderhouse]

@BlankVide0 wtf? this band came before mcr silly, if anything mcr copied the icarus line

[danielhl22]

its about fucking!!

epic songs they hypnotize me and i believe that they last like seven minutes but they end lasting almost 3

[HowlinJay]

Freaking fantastic.

[MRBLuD]

What happened to Buddyhead? It's gone...

[sidude7]

back now :D

[hjarta87]

I'm pretty sure it's about fucking groupies

[Urabahn]

I love this band, these guys are probably one of the most frantic, energetic and abrasive bands around and I'm not sure what the song is about although I think the title has a lot of innuendo :P

[jawstone]

Love this video so much. I miss this band.

[WavyGravy22]

Can't say I'm much of a fan of Aaron North's but I have seen/heard some of his stuff before and I can't help but wonder now since someone brought it up if he is actually gay or not? Meh, I guess I don't really give a rat's ass either way I suppose, but for some reason I find that hard to believe if he is in fact gay.

[WavyGravy22]

I didn't mean to imply in my last comment that I hate the guys music or anything 'cause I don't nor am I homophobic just curious is all if he is or isn't but as I've said I really shouldn't give a rat's ass either way about another person's sexuality as it doesn't affect me personally in any way shape or form. That is all.

[knivesoutbaby]

Aaron is not gay. That's a rumor. That he himself (along with Travis Keller) started.

[24hourmurderhouse]

@WavyGravy22 i wish he was xD lol

[leaud33]

either way, this definitely DOESNT blow. hah. yeah. ok. anyway, this shit rules.

[leaud33]

is this song about sucking dicks or am i just completely off? :')

[gauchebag]

aaron north is gay

[Velvetgoldmine92]

No, he actualy is. But who cares. He kicks ass.

[michealpelletier2]

your gay

[NMS1]

otra wea!

[Dessmondo]

They Rock reaaly bad....

I FUCKING LOVE THESE GUYS!!!

[LollL6ngusEST]

the icarus line is the shit. On the lash is the best song in my opinion. but thats only me.

[thepatient03]

I love aaron north. Raw energy.

[Proximoprod]

Saw them live in Germany about 5 years ago!

They fucking kicked ASS!!!!!

[xxtaxidermyxx]

this basically rules. but if you think they suck now, you're a mongo. this band are fucking rock and roll incarnate, and never, ever got lame.

[RectosTic]

haha,brilliant man,great band,anything to do with Aaron North rocks

[Flatlegs]

That Drum roll at 2:20 killed my gran

[joewhittles]

the fill riff that starts at 2:05 is one of my all-time favourites. one fucking chord played as hard as you can fucking strum

[rbaker1230]

could it be that aaron north left?

[B3D5X]

Oh, I don't know. I'm actually not familiar with their history or members.

[mattyvitofinch]

ye aron norths not longer in the Icarus line he may have been kicked out smeh maybe he just left I've herd that Joe Cardamone has kicked out members before but I dont know wot happened with aaron just know that they have a new guitarist

[B3D5X]

Man, what happened to them? They were so awesome in this period of their career! I understand that bands evolve but what they play now is just... boring. They were great.

[Fliko]

I agree. I'd have paid 50$ to see just them play a concert like this, but now I wouldn't pay a cent.

[rampjesus]

From the uploader: "They guys used to not suck, this is proof. Circa 2001."

So you though Penance Soirée was crap?

[mattyvitofinch]

they don't suck now they won't ever suck

[currg]

The lyrics are in the cd cover, also is this the video that is on the mono cd?

[bearingsunrise]

vocal skinhead security

[alexsweeley]

hey they used my copy off myspace....

[soapmachine]

i saw these guys live. i think they were drunk as hell

[FashionablyNumb]

"let me know if you can breathe.

I'll push the pillow down.

Like so many before you, you cant see why we keep you around.

dwell in the heart of negativity.

not so deep that you drown.

Join that lonely list of angels that wear that famous faceless frown.

You faceless fool."

That's the bit in the lyrics everybody misses out (my interp.)

[inertiatic923]

Taking her back to your room, you start to wrestle, never pushing it over the line. Safe in body, safe in mind. Struggle. Kiss. Bite the tip of her tiny tongue. Now her little hearts about to explode. You'll never know what hit you, swelling now on your lymph node. Safe in body, safe in mind.

[ThrowawayHero]

ska band? lol no, they've always been some kinda awesome filth twin of the rock and roll sound, they're original as hell and they rock in a really dirty way.

[syggyballs]

i've looked on like 34958435 sites for the lyrics of this song, and none of them are right. Or atleast, they dont look right (whole lines missed out/added etc). Anyone have em?

[oldbloodstreams]

Yeah I'll PM them to you.

[oldbloodstreams]

Great video. Shame they weren't particularly 'wild' when I saw them.

[AmericanLeather]

Didnt these guys used to be a ska band or something..?

[oldbloodstreams]

I don't think so. The early stuff I heard was post-hardcore-ish

[gonzosleaze]

I think Alvin was in a Ska Band. He is the guy on guitar in the video.

[FashionablyNumb]

Wow. I've never seen this video, it's amazing....

[DaisyMay]

Thank you, Travis! :) I'd love to see more live vids from them...do you have some more? :)
