Beck - Cold Brains / Lazy Flies / Broken Train

[allaboutdatGDA]

this is beautiful nihilism

[JPM190595]

incredible! Beck is one of the few bands that play real music. Today, the major of the bands don't have talent, they make music trough the tecnology, they invent a voice, a guitar, a piano, a drums, etc. They don´t play anythin, they don´t know about music.

BECK ROCKS!

[Fulmarmusic]

shit!.. wasted my life

I was watching BB1 robbing stuff from an alotments in the UK around this time, oh how u miss out on things cos u too young to know anything... oh how?

[comanchio1976]

The Bob Dylan David Bowie love child does it again!

[dreekd80]

wait. did he say, "you suck" at 6:05?



[dreekd80]

i saw this cat in '95 and again in '98. Both times in Akron, OH. Absolutely fucking fantastic performer. The best living solo artist/performer in my opinion.

[comanchio1976]

Most overlooked and underrated artist/songwriter of the past 20yrs in my opinion.

[cheeseboy777]

Hope the bass player got a bollocking afterwards!

[Maquiladora83]

"The skin of a robot vibrates with pleasure".

Genius.

[guitaluva18]

best song off the album

[CancerWTF]

Great song, Great album

[settler18]

I like how he gives his all on the vocals here. You can really hear em belt it out(specifically on Cold brains during the chorus).

[djbunnyjams]

At the end of broken train does he say we're out of control or we're out of patron?

[Ragnar0k951]

LOL I love the bassist's hair

[catdude878]

I love his clothes!

[Patohead001]

Why the delay of musicians in Lazy Flies?? The tone is higher that the song in album?? Why Beck cut this song???

In bass: ROBERTO MANFINFLA!!!

[wasabihansen]

beck live is better than everyone, even than muse

[Nokiathrower]

no,no,no,no. Beck is great on his albums but his band usually rape all when live. Now you kill me. Thumbs down kids!

[ScottieTheRadiohead]

@wasabihansen I agree. Saw Muse live, they played exactly 4 things, out of 19, that I didn't expect. And every song is pretty much exactly the same pretty much every time

[optimusripe]

@wasabihansen ooooh i dont know about thatt but beck and muse are the two best live acts around

[StudioHansen222]

@wasabihansen - at the drive in live is mental, if u like that sort of thing. they are broke up now though. the mars volta are another band with 2 of the guys from ATDI who give a pretty awsome abstract preformance.! check it out man.

[gretan50]

@wasabihansen no!!i really like Beck,but Muse is the best!!!

[Vonjibbler89]

@wasabihansen

Why do you keep plugging muse they pale in comparison to Beck.Beck is like a chameleon changing his musical skin with every fresh new album he puts out.

[PlayPenMusic]

Hey we're Medusa's Playpen, check us out sometime. peace love.

Becks amazing

[DarkonDozac]

Maan, I wish there were more versions of broken train on youtube!!

[juanpolar]

mutations one of the best ever

lets not forget who was behind consoles in that recording

the main man nigle godrich

[fishyboy111]

Awesome, Beck is amazing, wish i could strum like that lol :\

[videostrategies]

I adore Beck's music, but his live performances are a bit inconsistent. I like how he does Cold Brains here--it's just different enough from the CD, but still works.  Seems like he's kinda going thru the motions on Lazy Flies (or maybe I just don't like the key he sings it in). And does he forget the lyrics at 6:50 on Broken Train?

[HeartOfBlac]

He likes changing words and stuffs live. makes it different. I mean he plays these songs like thousands of times. if he changes them up he doesn't get bored ya know?

[Beck436]

HeartOfBlac

this is true 98 percent of the time, but sometimes he just...slips. there's a recording i used to have of him playing beercan live and he spaced out on practically the whole song. to be fair, the guy's written like 12 billion songs over the years.

[FeudalMoon]

heres another video of him playing e-pro and hes f*cked up the lyrics big time

[CoolVallieJean]

dude, you cannot have amazing music by being rigid, it fits his personality.

[goodcorn]

the dust of opiates, and syphilis patients on brochure vacations... brilliant

[beliefactionnexus]

"mutations" is very under-rated in my estimation. so is "sea change" . To go from albums like this back to "Guero" and "Info" is amazing. He is brilliant, like u said.

[Cnew11]

beck is my favorite

[impulse4freedom]

Beck is great

[CircusOfHeaven]

aww, such a brilliant musicians, an these three brilliant amazing songs, i love love love Mutations and all of his stuff. he looks so cute here, not as in atractive and stuff, more in the "cute as a child or kitten" sense

[dorisbones]

cor lummy he really is the don, i love him and would tell him so, i miss his moves and all though i did see him this year, hooray

[ToBerfestaNDZEAland]

Broken train is prolly my favourite Beck song, for now at least, im always loving more.... its the reason why i bought the movie "Southlander" that and to see Slater.

[trav691]

Mutations is the best beck cd ever!

its the cd that turned me on to beck

every song on it is a masterpeice and one of the rare cds that you can listen to all the way though over and over and never they never get old

beck is just fucking amazing

[Sandbag209]

The bass player is actually sleeping, that's why he is wearing sunglasses.

[LordSesshomaaru]

Wow, he sounded AMAZING

[silentdrum]

I can't get this song out of my head lately. Yesterday I brought Mutations to work and was listening most of yesterday and today--over and over to the record at my f---ing desk.

This song is like a "song of hope" sung at a funeral. It both soothes my despair--without needlessly changing it-- and it lifts the heart in an effortless soaring. Love it!

[silentdrum]

By the way, "laughs", I meant Cold Brains, cheers

[wiseguyz123]

I like the album version of Lazy Flies better.

[TheInformation]

The best version of Cold Brains I've ever heard. :o

[ChaseWatkins]

WE NEED TO ABOLISH THE PEOPLE LIKE jitenp404!!!

THEY ARE REALLY MAKING ME MAD!!!

Anyway, Beck's awesome, I used this to learn cold brains and lazy flies on my guitar.

[teamneedle]

Ah, reminds me why I used to love beck.

Too bad Guero was completely lifeless.

(the information was a little better but not great)

[odelay99]

he makes me so happy I could cry - don't know what I'd do if I didn't have Beck

[beckwitch]

Check JMJ at 2:06

[psnk0002]

anyone who doesnt know who Beck is should be ashamed...he's so talented!

[strangeBEEhavior]

i agree! not to mention, he's pretty handsome..hha

[strangeBEEhavior]

beck is absolutetly the best thing out there right now. bravo, awesome performance.

[silentdrum]

Seriously, is there a more talented pop musician than Beck around these days? The guy writes fantastic melodies, sings beautifully, constantly re-arranges his music, chooses great musicians, is an artist but not pretentious... I don't like hip hop nor his forays into that genre but I can't deny that Mutations is the best rock album I've heard in 10 years. This guy is making gorgeous music, isn't he? Let's hope he continues to do so.

[flobalobalob]

totally agree! you're a wise beck fan!

[JarrodMG]

awesome Beck clip. his vocals are superb here.

thanks for sharing!
