  • I love this band but I can't stand the vocalist haha

  • awesome band incredibly talented musicians. i feel sorry for the narrow minded people who dont even try to appreciate this for how intrestingly well structed and wrote the songs actually are. oh well i guess it's like being a kid with a big bag of sweets nobody else likes, at least i dont have to share ;)

  • Comment removed

  • It's funny how people never say 'i don't like this because i don't understand it' they automatically think 'i don't like this therefore it is complete garbage'

  • they couldn't find a pick with color which would be good for the video, so they decided not to use one xD

  • Wow a lot of you guys commenting are really some of the most elitist fucks I've ever seen on youtube.

  • as a guitarist I think their are some really interesting things going on... at first hear i can understand how it might come across as chaotic noise but...their are intersting repeated guitar patterns...my only concern is when i hear the technical virtuosity of this band i wonder what is the point of even having a bassist besides the reason of just holding down the rhythm section...I would suggest more drum/ bass dynamics, or guitarist bass dynamics... a la, tool, or R.A.T.M

  • @sason280 Their bass is mostly more like a second guitar

  • The point is that they are TRYING to make music (structured sound) that takes effort hear its unique and complex structure. Real musicians will listen to this and be impressed, and learn something, even if they aren't personally into the STYLE of music.

  • kind of reminds me of Lye By Mistake

    

  • @TheBhutros you sir are now my hero for stating that band :D

  • Dude... the vocalist is just yelling during certain guitar parts to harmonize. Your music is awesome but you need more originality in the vocals. That part is really boring. It sounds like he couldn't figure out what to sing and just tried to sing like he was a third harmonizing guitar. You would be the shit if you could figure that out.

  • god dammit this is the reason most people don't like metal because they watch this shit and think this is what metal is. This is fucking awful

  • @Madmanfoo55 No people don't like real metal because they do listen to real metal like metallica and think, damn, this is fucking awful.

  • I miss Auggie.

  • Jesus Fuck! What a load of shit!

  • the hell is mallcore?

  • man!! crazy blasts beats!! sweet.

  • I FUCKIN LOVE IT WHEN MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE ITS PANICKING!!! if u like this check out "Car Bomb" and "The Number 12 looks like you" bands like that hit the fuckin spot.

  • @aristacraticthug Daughters

  • honestly this music is like puting your brain on a rollercoaster

  • horse shit

  • Bad core music should be called Medicore. This is awsome.

  • haha mallcore/crapcore, good one, PsyOpus RULESSSS

  • THEY'RE HOLDING MY THOUGHTS!

  • sounds like what would happen if you really pissed off captin beefheart

  • @befrankis hahahahaaa!!!! That was fucking beautiful...

    

  • this vid kicks ass.

  • another incredible, original, interesting musical effort ruined by the overdone and boring Cookie Monster.

  • what his model Ibanez?

  • i wish the majority of the population wasnt retarded

    i listen to music for the musical aspect of it. Psyopus is so damn underrated.

    when i saw them it was like 4 people in the crowd.

    i twas sooo disappointed because these guys are so freakin amazing

    todays mainstream is just terrible

  • the tapping at 1:58 where he's stumbling around is the fucking best

  • is that a different guitar player

  • @FACLESSFABIAN chris arp? no hes always been there he just changes his looks alot, knowing him personally i dont think he has any plans on leaving

  • @thernuocker2 thats pretty sik that u know him. but ya i wasnt sure cuz i saw an old vid but he had long hair, and this one he had none

  • weird how revolving their lineup is

  • Hey GOD666 what are they trying to do with their songs?

  • i wouldnt mind them if there wasnt that aweful guitar screeching in every song.. best example is duct tape smile. its fucking annoying. band is good other than that

  • This is basically a horror movie through music. gotta love it.

  • /a/wesome /b/and

  • I still remember being 16 years old and listening to this \m/

  • @RudraNightmare I thought I was the only person that listened to this at the age of 16? I might get some friends now :)

  • bien bien

  • First thing I heard was "Duct Tape Smile" and I thought it was fucking retarded. I am usually like turned on by more strange and interesting music so I don't know why but I came back just kept listening and then I went to the youtube mix and read up on the history and researched the band and now I love them. PsyOpus is fucking amazing. I love them.

  • I'll go ahead and finish this long debate about PsyOpus.

    Yes, PsyOpus is a hard band to get into. BUT, if you invest the time to get used to their style and songs, it pays off because there are a LOT of cool stuff going on, especially if you are a musician. If you don't want to invest the time into PsyOpus, please don't come to a PsyOpus video and be rude about the band. If you can't/don't to invest time into PsyOpus, I would advise you to go listen to brainless, non creative, mallcore music. gg

  • @Skelbassist I totally agree with you. People shouldn't be so narrow minded and say that it's 'rubbish' because as a musician myself i KNOW that ALL music whether people like it or not brings something new to the table, including heavy music like Psyopus and commercial pop music like Madonna. if Psyopus were crap/talentless, then they wouldn't be signed and they wouldn't be selling thousands of records. they are signed for a reason. Hopefully someone read this and changed their outlook on music

  • @Skelbassist well fuckin' said, man.

  • @Skelbassist Just because something isn't wildly over complicated doesn't mean it's brainless and non-creative (which isn't a word). I thought u had a good argument going there but then u ruined it at the end with that retarded comment. While I only came to this video to check out psyopus, and with no intention of bashing them at all, this comment made me rage, so...

    Psyopus is lame.

  • @mm5192

    It sounds like you my last statement and applied it to ALL music that isn't overly complicated. I enjoy listening to pop music, while it's not complicated I don't call it brainless or "non-creative". I don't even remember making that previous comment but I'm sure it was meant for this new breakdown's only style of music that is praised nowadays which is what the comment was directed towards. And I'm not going to sit here and convince you that PsyOpus is not lame. Good day sir.

  • @mm5192 By "brainless, non-creative music," he's trying to bash all of the generic so-called artists such as all of the Deathcore bands with too many breakdowns that all sound the same and such. Creativity doesn't equal complexity.

  • @Skelbassist wp

  • @Skelbassist They weren;t that hard for me?

    I played a song by them on TapTap and I was like HOREE SHAT DIS SONGZ ARE OFF DA SHIZZLE

    Then I got their albums.

    The END.

  • @Skelbassist

    its not hard to get into......

    first time i heard it it felt like i finally found something that hit the spot... like coming home after a long journey.

    it depends where you come from in a musical way.

    if you used to listen to just your avarge deathmetal band it hardly connects.

    but, if, evolving form, amongst others, beefheart/zappa/don caballero to this it just perfectly makes sense.

    said it before.. will say it again, if bach lived right now he'd be into math

  • @ptiddie shit yeah son. I think it's time for the vocals to evolve though.  That parts getting a little tired. Or maybe this vocalist is just annoying to me

  • @Skelbassist seriously, people miss the technicality and dismiss it at noise. good for them, more for us.

  • @Skelbassist Haha, mallcore. That's good stuff.

  • @Skelbassist If I be honest.... I got in to them after the first time I heard Duct Tape smile

  • 1:08 I...AM.....GAY?? lol regardless this song kicks ass!

  • this vocalist sucks. i think bands like PsyOpus and Car Bomb [pretty much every band where the band can actually play their instruments] shouldn't even have vocalists. it's really just a distraction...at least that's my opinion.

  • @ImaPirate83 couldnt have said it better myself

  • psyOpus member: Hey guys! Let's write a structured song! (all other members laugh) Other psyOpus member: What do you think we are?! GOOD?! First psyOpus member: OH YEAH! let's just play random crap and call it a song! Other psyOpus member: Yeah! I don't even get how this sells... First psyOpus member: I don't get it either! I guess they must all be complete morons!!

  • @bassist9994

    That was so dumb that I actually feel sorry for you.

  • @HMMindframe LOL U MAD?!?

  • @bassist9994 Nah bro.

  • @bassist9994 as a musician you should be well aware that this is not random crap, please go crap on other crap

  • this bands awesome! FUCK ALL YOU HATERS!

  • not a fan, first song ive ever heard from them, itl be the last. but i appreciate the attempt of sounding good, at least they are making metal, better then the justin gayber and miley cuntrus

  • Love Arpmandude's playing. Wish this band was famous so that they could play in England, they've got some mad skills. Arpmandude is basically redefining the guitar and what it's capable of just like what Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello have done. Such a unique band

  • @georgeprodjex

    You never know. They could be coming to England soon.....

  • most annoying band in metal.

  • cute sunflowers

  • i found my way to Math

  • This band is amazing :0

  • this would be good music to blast out of speakers of army tanks to scare the shit out of the terrorists

  • @g0d0fgu1tar

    HAHAHA!

    Jeez, if I supported war and invasion of foreign countries, I'd totally agree.

    Man, either way, I agree, what am I talking about.

    This shit would terrify them.

  • @g0d0fgu1tar not.

  • That fill at 2:09 is so sexy.

  • I had Chris Arp in my living room this last tuesday, he sat down and showed me some stuff, it was pretty sick. Then we ate dinner

  • this song is rawnchy,,, in a good way

  • doesn't sound very annoying 2 me. it sounds like a tech rollercoaster that gives me a hard on! love it!

  • lol. my teacher is in this video

  • Like this band. Animals as Leaders are better though

  • @nolliebigflipsteez They're cool too. Tosin Abasi is among the greatest new guitarists.

  • @G0D666 Agreed! Love his 8-string. They mellow me out. Psyopus makes me wanna take a big hit of acid and drive my car. and to think Chris Arp auditioned for LIMP BIZKIT!?!?! LOL!!!

  • @nolliebigflipsteez No, it was just some gimmicky guitar competition. I think if you won the local competition you got a guitar or something. 

  • @nolliebigflipsteez he did????

  • @maju36able [Chris Arp Limp Bizkit guitarist search audition] Check it out

  • pure noise. not even pleasant to listen to

  • sweet song

  • i like psyopus

  • This band is almost like Anal Cunt met Between the Buried and Me's early years.

  • whats with the FRO ? :O these guys have no uniformed image?? that can't be real music *sarcasm*

  • XD This is funny...

  • This is what it sounds like when extreme metal/hardcore guitarists learn to play dissonant music but don't bother to learn any music theory.

  • @theetcetera07 Go listen to "Kill Us" and "Imogen's Puzzle Pt. 2". Chris Arp was classically trained, I'm pretty sure.

  • @theetcetera07 Oh I forgot to mention 2 more. That makes the list "Siobhan's Song", "A Murder to Child", "Kill Us", and "Imogen's Puzzle Pt. 2".

  • i don't look for specific things in music, i let the music do specific things to me.

    "AM I DREAMING? AM I DREAMING? AM I DREAMING? AM I DREAMING? "

    FTW

  • @icec0rpse i love you

    

  • I like these guys. The guitarist reminds me of myself on the guitar. Gots to love atonal madness with yer rootin tootin music.

  • I KNOW ONE OF THER FORMER MEMBERS!

  • God these guys suck. I agree with Automaticdildo36 they're annoying as hell. It's just a buch of screaming jibberish and tapping harmonics. Listen to imply in all or between the buried and me that's good shit

  • @xerikx1435 "Gibberish" is defined as an incoherent string of sounds that vaguely resembles a language. The lyrics are written and spoken/screamed in English.

    Yes, they do use a lot of tapping harmonics, because the shapes that he comes up with are not playable with one hand. BTBAM is great, but they are simply NOT comparable to PsyOpus, and that's exactly the way Chris Arp intended. That's like saying that Rembrandt is better than Picasso.  Two totally different styles of art.

  • @xerikx1435 fuck yeah. this is lame-ass thrash. this is fucking pathetic

  • hands down best drummer part of song...2:45-3:00

    "its that woo wooooo!"

  • 1:09 - 1:15 does he say I am gay O_O...whatever pysopus is fucking awesome.

  • Don't use an in front of a consonant noob

  • havent watched this in years still sick

  • wtfdrugslol

  • I like how high the guitarist wears his guitar. Unlike all the bullshit guitarists that hang it so low that they get a hernia from just hitting a high note.

    Great band.

  • @SevereThroatCancer He does that because he taps just about every note. That makes the music even better

  • kinda like Between the Buried and Me.

  • ok no doubt they are talented as fuck, but that does not exclude the fact that they are annoying as hell

  • @Automaticdildo36 "the fact that they are annoying as hell"

    fucking insane typo man! you totally wrote "fact" instead of "opinion"! BUMMER BRO.

  • @G0D666

    This comment = win.

  • I just give you props from that statement, you bastard fucking cunt sucking cannibal rectolord stain of putrifescant piece of regurgitated bile shit licker. I can go on all day but I'd probably lose. I spend too much time licking shit off of people's wet dog feet, and splurging my incessant waste over people whom I cater too incessantly, of incest bile filth putrid staving pile of nuclear waste resting on the presence of human theocracy scraping the incestous scrapings of my deceased left nut.

  • @SAced4 Lurid. Why is this here?

  • Jesus help me!

  • @SINERsaint01

    LOL

    jesus isnt real 

  • this guy is the best guitarist holy shit! i tried the guitar pro tab i can't tap like that w/o making all my strings sound out! i needa practice more

    ALL HAIL PSYOPUS!!!

  • Strange music. Don't know if I like it or not yet... :/

  • @thegreatmendez000

    same man, im questioning if i like it or not.

    and, I dont know who made the BTBAM reference but, i kinda see a similarity but BTBAM are much more stable and a little less....random?...

  • good band. in my opinion the singer needs to learn deeper growls and some more midrange.

  • Is it just me, or do music videos make psyopus sound EVEN BETTER?

  • Love this band

  • I love this music. It describes people who suck with such clarity. PLUS, when you turn this shit up loudly at a party, everyone (who has been brainwashed by pop music) LEAVES. So in a sense, this music = musicly-intolerant-idiot eraser. 

    I don't consider psyOpus to be math metal though because they didn't include polyrythym... Meshuggah still holds the trophy for complex music.

  • @icec0rpse jesus, my drum teacher tried teaching me some complex polyrythms the other day. Mental! Meshuggah are insane!

  • @icec0rpse to tell you the truth i havent dived to deeply into meshugah but the songs i have heard dont really have that complexed of polyrythms but evryone just keeps going off on how there so complexed and while this song doesnt allot of psyopuses new stuff has mind pusing rythms if you dissagree please send me feed back

  • oh my dear god...so this is mathcore :/

  • I'm sorry but, these bands ain't got no wins with me!!

  • PsyOpus haters be warned. Scientology has brainwashed you into disliking the only true form of music that remains. Expose your dead mind and you shall be exterminated by Bruce Lee with cyborg legs for enhanced tornado kicking abilities and an black carapace endoskeleton that will stave off a tank shell like it was a gnat. He will hunt you in the night the same as in the daylight. He will instill within you an endlessly profound sense of dread. Heed this warning.

  • @G0D666 Lucky i have this anti-everything turbo trout then.

  • @Jahsus Sorry, cyborg Bruce Lee carries an anti anti-everything turbo trout with him at all times.  It's called "The Upstreamer". It's a cyborg anti-anti-everything cyborg cyborg salmon cyborg. Sorry, you guys are fucked.

  • @G0D666 FREAK!!!

  • @TheMetallicaFan55 Imbecile.

  • @G0D666 HELLYEAH BRAINWASHED THEY ARE!!!

  • @G0D666 No. I'm disinclined to like music that sucks, thats why when I listen to this I instantly get a migraine. This music has nothing to do with Bruce Lee having cyborg legs, and it has everything to do with a guitarist who can't write a riff to save his twenty something overtechnical metrosexual ass. Heed this warning sir, this album sucks and you will get muscular dystrophy listening to it. Heed this warning LELELDLELELDLELDLELELELEEE

  • @viletree

    dude; yeah, you.

    Opinion Minion.

    That headache you get? Yeah that's from the combined Ph.D's these guys have acquired from years of intense musical study, smashing you in the brain.

    If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say your brain doesn't have the capability of breaking all of this down to make sense of it. Because I can dissect and understand this material near perfection.

    I thought I'd give some input, because apparently everyone's opinion matters.

    Right?

    Right.

  • @hailmetal16 No because all I heard is, LEEEDLELELDLELLEELLEELEDELELEL­EDE, my cochlea is shattered because of the noise. Yes, I call it noise, and it sucks and is not noise in a good way. I don't care about how qualified they are as musicians, this is horrible audio flatulence, and this is coming from a fan of a lot of death metal and grindcore that makes this look like Michael Bolton. I'd say you like it because you are privy to liking technical stuff, that's fine but to me this shit sucks

  • @viletree Stand back hailmetal, or you'll catch the stupid. Always use rubber gloves when handling shit. Listen here, viletree. Your "bree bree" pig squealing nonsense is a disgrace to the metal community. If playing as fast and hard as possible is beauty, then beating your knees with a bat as fast and hard as possible is also beauty. Unsheathe that pathetic globule of mucous you call a brain, and go to sleep knowing that your ignorance is your bliss and your arrogance is your solace.

  • @G0D666 Oh tish tosh, I don't have to be apologetic, call me a curmudgeon but this shit sucks. This "pathetic" globule at least has the sense to know what, and since I call em like I see em, this shit blow.

  • @viletree Oh, I see what you're saying now. You just have a terribly ignorant vernacular about it. What you're saying that IN YOUR OPINION the music is bad. This can also be said as "I do not like it". I should be apologizing. I seem to forget that both stupid and ignorant people traverse the internet, and that I should be accommodating to both. Also, for fucks sake, learn to put together a sentence properly.

  • @G0D666 Ok grammar nazi, as long as you understand what I am saying, though since like you like gay and patently horrible music like Psyopus (yes I hold i against you, once again I could care less about what you say. The band sucks and their music sucks, if you are a fan of their noise, maybe you should listen to actual metal instead of this pseudo-avant garde bullshit. Let me guess, your one of those fags that listen to bands like Portal and Unexpect, just to be different. You are a wannabe

  • @viletree Fuck, I have to decrypt another one of your fucking neanderthal rants. You said that if I like PsyOpus, I should listen to different music. Makes no sense. Everything else was pretty much irrelevant ad hominem projectile vomit, so it doesn't deserve to be addressed.

  • @G0D666 Ok listen, I know your trying to play, the outside of his time intellectual who has to talk down to people, but your not fooling anyone. Since we speak the same language, let me tell you a third time, they fucking suck! Someone is calling the kettle black too "Ad hominem", when your touting around your faux-savant girth trying to sound more intelligent to a caveman like me with my "pathetic globule of mucous". Let me guess you also post on the MA forums?

  • @viletree Yeah, you keep bashing me with your opinion on a band I like. I don't really give a shit. I'm just saying that you're violently stupid. That's pretty much fact. Go eat your curds, you dumb hick.

  • @G0D666 I'd rather be violently "stupid", then be some pretentious fuck like you, who thinks listening to shitty acts like Psyopus makes himsome "renaissance man". That's pretty much fact. Go listen to some more worthless avant-garde bullshit, to inflate your self-image, you loser.

  • @viletree More futile, ad hominem, baseless insults.  I frankly find it hilarious that you put "renaissance man" in quotes, as if the words came directly from my mouth. Know that your pitiful rebukes have done nothing but amuse me, you gormless little weasel.

  • @G0D666 Once again, you state that insults are "baseless" and "futile", yet being as "gormless" as you are you keep using them. ALAS LORD IS UPON ME

  • @viletree But you repeatedly prove that you're stupid. Mine are in no way baseless.

  • @G0D666 They never are, until one starts using them, and then the other guy starts to use them. And then we just end up in one gigantic mess of ad hominems, and then we start to listen to Psyopus. Once again kind sir, prove how "gormless" you are by repeating DARE I SAY, the same nonsense over and over. "GORMLESS", he says yet he performs the same task, repeatedly ad nauseam, another "ad" for you God666 the pseudo-savant who gormlessly created a grandiose self-image of a "renaissance man".

  • @viletree How many words did you have to look up in the dictionary? Does your intellectual penis feel insignificant, pal? That's alright, just go read a book or thirty.

  • @viletree Dude, you're comment is invalid.

    Avant-Garde is renaissance. Doesn't matter whether you like it or not, it's self expression in a non-conventional manner, so if you think you're opinion matters, you fail, sir.

  • @hailmetal16 Avant-garde is an umbrella term that describes many different bands hailing and performing from different ends of the artistic spectrum. I was pointing out that it's applicable to these hacks like it is to other hack bands like Portal, Unexpect, and Origin.

  • @viletree

    Right, well, they have a large fan base.

    They Can compose songs.

    They have 3 international albums.

    They're famous.

    They have their shit together.

    Obviously, they're good enough.

    Opinions, opinions.

  • @hailmetal16 And so does Bullet for my Valentine and 3 doors down, but you don't see anyone in their right mind calling them 'avant-garde'.

    *shudders at the names of those bands

  • @viletree

    Look, last reply;

    When I was younger, I loved 3DD, and dare I say, B.F.M.V.

    Think I still listen to them now? Deffinetly fucking not, haha.

    BUT, my point is, any band who is good enough to get coverage deserves some degree of respect.

    These guys are avant.G. because of their extremely unethical and clearly unique style of composing and delivering their messages.

    Man, get this, and this only; Music is about delivering a multitude of feelings through frequency waves, these guys win

  • @hailmetal16 This kid is retarded, hailmetal. He has terrible reading comprehension skills and terrible grammar skills. Or he's a bad troll. In either case he should be ignored.

  • @G0D666

    i concur

  • @G0D666

    This is BRILLIANT!!!

  • cant get this outta my head :D love it!

  • what the fuck my ears are bleeding this is horrible

  • @killertom3

    Well then, it seems you can't grasp the concept of the genius behind this music.

    I honestly pity you and your closed mind.

  • @hailmetal16 I pity you for liking this crap.

  • @killertom3

    I envy your wit.

  • @killertom3 I pity you for having no musical education and not being able to stare in awe of the genius that is ARPMANDUDE .
