  • awesome...LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!

  • ... such beauty

  • THOSE DESCENDING 3RDS at 3.24 are insane :D love this tune!

  • Love how Jem smiles when he's playing his solo!

  • facebook.com/pages/Frost/15783­7857609113 check out the facebook page

  • THEY'RE BACK!!!

  • THESE ARE REALLY GOOD MUSICIANS

  • This is truly one of the greatest things I've ever seen...

  • @DuketheFish73 ...and more importantly: heard. Also, 6 people doesn't like music, plain and simple.

  • What I love about this video, aside from the superb music, is that the two of them look like two kids that start off in music, so they look so happy playing together just for the sake of it.

  • MY GOD!!!! MAD SCIENTISTS YOU ARE!!!!! Frost* come back to us!!!! Why O Why must you go (cries like a little girl) :'(

  • Some of the finest music to come out in years!Hope fully there is a new c.d. soon.

  • @progbc It's sad to tell you that Frost* is no longer making music.. Check out their wikipedia site for mor infos!

  • @progbc You may be right! Apparently on his twitter he is writing a new song. Quote: "Ravishing day! Woke up this morning with a new Frost song in my head called "System". Killer riff. I think it's an instrumental." From the 24th August (2011)

    YAY!

  • This is no slant to the original, is it's amazing too, but I think I like this version better somehow. It just works in the context of an "acoustic" duet so beautifully!

  • I've watched this at least a hundred times. Brilliant! New Frost album... Please?

  • uhm... is that really the simpsons theme at 2:36-2:42?! :o

  • In the original music, yes - it's really easy to play it in 4 by accident. Try counting 8 over the top of the first minute and 8 seconds. I did check!

  • The beginning is in 7/8. No question.

  • 0:00-1:08 is in 4/4 (the syncopation here isn't triplets) 1:09-1:48 is in 7/8 1:49-2:02 is in 4/4 (ragtime-style LH in piano) 2:03-2:15 is in 7/8 2:16-2:35 is in 6/8 (bar = bar from previous tempo) 2:36-2:55 is in 12/8 (bar = bar) 2:56-3:01 is in 6/8 4:26-5:04 is in 5/8 5:04-5:42 is in 12/8 5:42-end is in 7/8 I'm assuming it's been written in 12/8 where the main division is triplets - this is by no means chapter and verse - just my best guess. HTH
  • Does anybody know how I can find piano sheet music?

  • i see five peoples fingers slipped when going for the 'like' button !

  • if only the keyboard wouldnt look like an ufo

  • I just figured out one of the reasons I love this song. It is in 7/4 timing. Love that!

  • @muzikizlife10 7/8 i think

  • @muzikizlife10 7/8 i think cos your counting the 8th notes

  • This is my favorite song and video on YouTube. You two are amazing. Great song and playing!

  • nice composition … but, dayum, somebody please float the guitarist a free set-up; the string buzz was beyond noticeably irritating : otherwise, like I said — niiice :)))

  • ... absofrigginlutely brilliant ...

  • Wahnsinn!! Klasse!! da macht zuschauen und zuhören Spaß

  • Wow.

  • These guys demonstrate incredible talent. I bought the studio version of this song off itunes and have listened to it about a million times.

  • This is some of the prettiest stuff I've ever heard!

  • Comment removed

  • brilliance!

  • absolutely cool!! are you going to release this as an acoustic single version? You should! I'd buy it!

  • This is a bit demoralising really - I thought I was a bit handy on the frets and then along comes Dec!! 

  • milliontown is a masterpiece

  • Discovered you only today, simply amazing work

  • Hello youtube. Welcome to music.

  • Check out the class moment at 5:48

  • I think i became a Frost* fan in matter of seconds when I heard hyperventilate ^^

  • Wonderful. And I can't believe Jem never had a piano lesson ever!

  • wow

  • I think I've watched this video more than anything else on youtube. No joke.

  • Man, two years later and this still makes me smile :) Love this :)

  • Man, two years later and this still makes me smile :) Love this :)

  • Rock!Rock!MaximumRock!

  • I came. Twice.

  • this pianist technique is incredible. reminds me and evening with petrucci and rudess.

  • Beatiful....

  • Amazing...

  • watching this video means 6:05 unlimited happiness to me, over and over again :))))))

  • The way the them from "No Me No You" is inserted in at 2:16 makes the song even better. Actually, yeah, I like it more that way....

  • This is a pretty complicated song for the relaxed feel it gives. I'm learning it right now... some tough stuff knitted into the mix.

  • again, incredible

  • I almost can't believe someone is capable to play like that. And here's two.. Unbelievable and [very] outstanding!

  • great piece!

    prog music should be more listened to.

    (the cd is on the way to me :-)

  • Thats sick!

    really dig the guitar tone coupled with the piano. and i especially like the high five at the end!

  • awesome music

  • Oh gawd awesome

  • Makes me cry...amazing...

  • hmmm ??? (N)

  • This is wicked stuff guys!

    Just discovered you, epic stuff!

  • OHH YEH !!!!!

  • where'd the high res version go Jem?

    =(

  • Caught you guys at Soton guildhall a few months back, you were great :) entertaining vid, fantastic song, love it.

  • nice 1:16 hehe!!!

  • superb,so good i bought the album last night on-line.just love it

  • MARAVILLOSO  WONDERFUL I have the album, is great....

  • That's M3-73!

  • This video sold me on the Milliontown album, and man is it a sweet album. Thanks for the music!!

  • Genius

  • God. This song sounds even better when its stripped down to basics. Jem you are a musical genius. Saw you guys supporting Dream theatre and you were awesome. GO FROST*

  • Look at his guitar its an Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci's signature :D i want one !! its sound so great !!! Frost* just awesome

  • these guys are almost too good.. before I sucked.. ow i really suck... but I keep making my sucky kinda music ...

  • nothing gets better than this!

  • SAW YOU JUNE THE 12th YOU WERE AWESOME. the sound check went pretty bad tho. i can tell, bassist was not happy/

  • I LOVE this... I'm a little mad that one of my favorite parts of the song is missing (that 2nd piano solo with all the syncopated chords). But seeing someone else play it on video helps me believe in myself that I can play it at some point.

  • Amazing cant wait to see you at the o2 in leeds with dream theater

  • me too :P

  • Gunna Be A Epic Night My Friend!

  • The same :B

    First gig where I'll be looking forward to the support act as well :P I saw Spock's Beard last June and Frost* were supposed to be supporting but I didn't know them at all but I would have been annoyed if i had!

    Where you guys from?

  • Yeah not long now :D i really cant wait for this support band, i think they are too good to be classed as support haha. and im from pontefract. what about you?

  • Birmingham. And i totally agree :P

    Here's hoping for some inter-acts tomfoolery.

    Jem v Jordan

    Battle of the J's!

    Would love to see it :P

  • haha yeah man that would be sickk

    you know what i never have understood?

    where did jordans hair go? haha it just went all of a sudden

  • Do you know if Andy is drumming on that date? I heard that Nick D'Virgilio covered for a gig in California or something

  • not a clue man haha i have only recently discovered frost*

  • Yea, it was Andy. Epic drummer, amazing at those odd time sigs!

  • hes the wizard man.

  • Amazing...

  • is this the actual band?

  • They are more in the bands of ourse!

    This is just an Acustic version :)

  • Holy crap Jem, how do you do that awesome downward run at 2:54? This sounds great. :) Can't wait to see you guys at ROS Fest. :D

  • I wouldnt be too hard on Dec here though. the buzzing strings sound is unavoidable from a piezo equipped guitar that is factory set-up with really low action. My JP6 strings buzz when unamplified. But through an over-driven amp you cant hear it. Not even with a clean sound. but as a piezo picks up body resonance you're bound to hear it.

  • fair enough

  • the musicianship; the execution; the composition all speak for themselves - very compelling viewing but the thing i have a problem with is the modern fascination with guitars that sonically have a kazoo type quality about them.

    ?

    ...that said, really amazing stuff

  • It's hardly a fascination. It's a guitar equiped with a piezo system that does a pretty good job at giving an "on the fly" acoustic sound from an electric guitar. It's not wholly as pleasing I suppose as hearing a genuine acoustic, but does the job......particularly in a live setting. Means not having to switch between guitars. And the MusicMan JP6, shown here, is pretty much one of the best on the market with such a device installed at the mo.

  • i've been gigging for a while with a french artist. i play very warm acoustics. i have spent a fortune on mic/blend systems and a DI, yet ALL the front of house guys make my two late 60's guilds sound like fucking kazoos: i hate it! i hate them!

    (im an old git and i believe i've witnessed a change in the perception of peoples hearing - and what acoustics should sound like - since the late 80's)

  • so my comment wasn't against you per se, it was a gripe with fucking kids and engineers who are too lazy to eq guitars properly: who think a guitar should sound like strings buzzing (like bottles rattling in the wind) rather than the sonorous, high crafted instruments they are; and a gripe with the electronics companies that have sold guitarists short when there are so many brilliant piano simulations available

    finally of course i understand the convenience but i'm sure you would agree...

  • ....it would have been even more pleasing to hear the piece played on an acoustic

  • Oh yea. totally agree. I woulda been harder to play on an acoustic though but, yea, it would have sounded better. But it is jsut a mtter of convinience. And to my ears, modern piezo's sound better than most early ovations! On the other hand (!), one of my students has a beautiful koa backed taylor that he spent a fortune on and it sounds lovely....till I plugged it into to an AER amp. And then it jsut sounded like........a kazoooooo!!!! What ya gonna do?

  • These guys are so incredbly talented. Awesome playing.

  • Incredible playing on both parts. Keys really worked especially for me though.

  • I wanna be a frostie! Just ordered milliontown! I, for one, can not wait to hear it in all it's sonic glory! I hope they tour again soon. ALthough since they're not doing any frost recordings this year doubt it'll be anytime soon.

  • get the new one too!

    it's out finally!

    AND IT'S WONDERFUL!!!!!!

  • I can't stop listening to this. Foes anybody know what the time signature is for this piece?!

  • Most of it is in 7/8.

  • It starts in 7 until about 2:17 where it goes into a triplet feel in 4/4 leading to a 6 feel at 3:09. 4:06 they set up a 3 against 2 feel that brings the 12 feel back. At about 4:26 it goes into 5/8. At 5:06 it goes back into 6 until 5:30 where it goes back into 7/8. So, maybe about a third of this piece is in 7 : )

  • no matter how many times i hear it...always blows my mind......

  • Unbelievable..........just brilliant !

  • One of the best songs on their stunning debut CD. the finest debut I have ever heard from any Band (including my beloved Genesis.... ;-)

    Thanks Jem and the chaps for the new CD as well.Just ordered it now.

    Best wishes and PLEASE come "up north" to Liverpool or anywhere (The Limelight in Crewe would be great for you guys let me know and i can put you in touch with the owner)

    Face Value vocals

  • wow...I'm a relatively new pianist and I was just trying to figure out and learn the beginning of this by ear...I got the notes but couldn't put the two hands together, and I see this and he makes it look soo damn easy. And don't even get me started on that solo...

  • Love it, really inventive!

  • Legendary!

  • AWESOME!!

    ______________

    genial este temaso

    en esta versión..

    Frost* Rules!! 120%

  • maestros. Tocan la raja

    5 estrellas !

  • que bonito!!! maravilloso,excelente. a fan from madrid.

  • Just occasionally you witness music magic and I have to say....this is it. Bloody amazing! Now I'm going to learn Jem's keyboard part.

  • Hey, what kind of guitar is he playing? I always wondered...

  • It seems a Music Man John Petrucci's BFR 6 Baritone

  • Nah. It's a regular JP6. They don't make BFR's in solid colours (yet). And the Baritones are all BFR's. So there ya go!

  • Magical.

  • amazing!!

  • I really like this so much more than the CD version. The music gets a chance to breathe instead of merging into that IMHO over-busy and over-compressed mush that is the CD track. Jem and Dec should just gig as a 2 piece.

  • fair point. i think the huge wet compressed drum sound is the main concern because everything has to compensate for that.

  • i totally agree....

  • sounds alot like dream theater. guitarist even has john petrucci's signature guitar. still a fantastic song though

  • Hehe, U dudes rokcs xD I'm musician, keyboard player from 17 years;) and I'm amazed by harmony and overall concept of this album. Everytime I listen Hyperventilate, I'm blowed off. Even if the genius of this album pass off as you listen to this album 123153 time;P it's still perfect - so far different from dark, sad albums like Porcupine Tree, Pain of Salvation etc...

    Btw, is there chance for any sheet of Your music;)? Even midi will be good:) It's hard to play some parts without it xD

  • even after 'all' this time this song still makes me smile and get goosebumps at the same time. It's just amazing. God, i'm such a moonie!

    nic x

  • It would be awesome if this band went on tour with Dream Theater. This is the only song I've ever heard by them but it's awesome.

  • Yeah... Call em up for the next progressive nation tour!

    Great album by the way.

    :)

  • Mike called Jem to have Frost* on the ¨rogNation 2010... But Jem had to refuse, due to his family (he has three little kids that need attention).

    But maybe we'll have a Frost*/DT bill sometime in the near future... Maybe on the next tour !

  • Wow. Simply Amazing. Yes, I to have Milliontown and can't wait for the new one. Whar a line up of musicians from Arena IQ and now we have Frost. It just get's better. Godfrey and Mitchell, what a team.

  • that song is soo great..

    i like MILLIONTOWN so much..

    i've never heard such music before,.. the melodies are so unusual and soo.. GREAT!!

  • I can't believe these guys are not together anymore. This song and the whole Milliontown CD is fabulous. A tragedy for Frost fans. Maybe we can persuade them to play together again.

  • what?

    band broke up ? again ?

  • Color me stupid. I just heard from Jem and the band is back together. A great day for Frost fans. It would be great if they could make a show at CalProg.

  • they are back together. the new album comes out in Sept hopefully. Watch the Frost Reports to catch a glimpse of the content. sounds better than the debut.

  • pretty amazing

  • Desperately need some sort of sheet music / tab for this song. Especially for that piano solo at 4:26!

  • <3<3:) looove it! I love Frost!! :D

  • I just bought Milliontown and it's amazing!!! Looking forward to the new one!!! Frost rules!!!

  • Epic win.

    This is all.

    Oh, and, come to Australia.

    You can live in my house or something.

  • ...nooooo, if they come to Australia they can live in MY house and play my crappy keyboards *cries* I want their wonderfully expensive instruments.... ^^

  • Anyone know if I can download Frosts album anywhere? I tried looking for it to buy but can't find it anywhere. This song is absolutely amazing.

  • I bought it from Amazon

  • I get thumbs down for liking the band I posted a comment under, funny world we live in. XD

  • I believe that you can the thumbs down for wanting to download the album. If your intention was to pirate download the album then the thumbs down are just. If your intension was to download a legal copy then people might have misunderstood you.

  • Guys...

    It's Jem, not Gem.

    ;)

  • awasome!!!!! really coool!

  • Absolutely stunning! I really like the interplay between Dec and Gem, both musically and personally. This certainly raised the bar of musical standards and indeed, the musical standards played in some bars.

  • Just uncovered you guys ha ha this has inspired me. I'm taking it your American if your not too big u already have one Scottish fan.

  • They are all so incredibly British, haha.

  • i know now lol i looked them up and whre they recorded milliontown not far from where i stay.

  • Jem....beautiful...wonderful music...took my breath away...also impressed the wife and kids...glad that you are still working within the music industry...good luck to you!!

    (you always were a flash bastard!!)- Rich (Kick)

  • Son EXCELENTES! Para Cuando el Proximo Disco?

  • Go Dec go!

    Oh, and Gem too!

    Keep doing ya thing.

  • woooow, I'm aiming on becoming a piano player like you....I know I can when I work hard....seriously....the skill and art you perform is amazing!!! And the guitar's good too of course^^

  • Thats probaly the best song that ever hear.. and i mean it

  • "Hyperventilate 2008 Hi Res" makes the listener hyperventilate with excitement.

    This is musicianship at it's best.

    If you are an inspiring musician you should watch this video.

  • Amazing, everytime, amazing (nice john petrucci model :p :p)

  • mto foda! :D

  • Awesome!

  • Wow! This is really great. This is making it hard to hate Gem for canc...

    what did he do again? I forget

  • Killer Stuff..........THANKS!!!!!!!!!­!

  • So Great! Killer song with Killer players.
