Minus The Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse

[inkBot7]

how life should be

[Dkiefer0003]

I don't take a film class or have anything to do with film making, but this video has nothing but good times and good vibes. This is one of my favorite bands and to see this on YouTube just makes my night/day better. I'm drunk and if this sounds retarded then I am sorry. It's hard enough to type on an iPhone sober.

[TheCauseTheEffect]

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYY LETS CROSS THE SEA, AND GET SOME CULTURE.

[Garrbear12399]

Top comments are both gay.

[slowclapguy]

@Garrbear12399 I think they are truthful and hetero

[ownworstenimy]

@Garrbear12399 So is your user name on here but who has the top comments? not you sir not you!

[GamerAnalysis]

yeaaaa lets cross the sea!!! to get some culture

[quezbeme]

woot

[FuckedandAbused]

i didnt understand life before i heard this song!!! =o

[Turtleproof]

I don't expect much from trip videos set to music, but this was something far better than that, something special. It's the sweetest thing I've seen since "Nanou 2 - Recut," though the tone of this one is upbeat.

watch?v=MZHkj_O6sXE

[cheelsbo]

Oh I fucking love these guys. I don't understand how they are still a somewhat underground band.

[uRnotGOODLikeME]

@cheelsbo cause they dont sing about bitches and ho's nice cars and 100 dolla bills in stacks

[peppernickelly]

I bought a cell phone from someone a few years back and this song was on it and I LOVED IT. I set it as my alarm to wake me up in the mornings. It's like that BEST song in the world to wake up to, especially waking up next to someone you love the next morning after having an awesome night in a town you've never been in. It's just makes me feel relaxed, comfortable, and less stressed about waking up to begin my day whether it's on vacation or just at home.

[rikyoldm]

Love this



[Lawlbunnies]

this intro reminds me of something russian circles would do. very good

[clarksburgking305]

i go to sleep to their music religiously. simple as that

[jerZcavy4120]

the possibility of Minus the Bear making a bad song, ever is about the same as the probability of being able to divide by 0.

[Gundam08thMSteam]

00:59 OMFG GRADO

[ISEASARAH2]

This video has made me want to go to film school, so badly. Haha, I love this song so much. I never really got into it until an ex boyfriend of mine made me get into it, and now it's one of my favourites.

[MrPandaTycoon]

Just learned to play it on the guitar. Pretty sweet.

[MrBigmansam]

fuckin hipsters... just kiddin'. fabulous song<3

[KorbenDallas89]

Minus The Bear has been the soundtrack to most of my friends and my own greatest times from roadtrips to simple nights out downtown. Its also the perfect driving music for just cruzing at night it just sets the tempo and the mood ya know

[ginnettelikesthings]

I blush when I hear this song.

[nevermind49]

I used to listen to this song when I was a freshman in college, and now that I am graduating it's strange to think of where I was then.

It's cool that it meant something for these people as well!

[AbstractBeings]

i love this song holy crap crap crap!

its hard to make crap look like an echo like i'd love to do;)

[johnnyluvstacos]

I actually really liked this video.

[ukeeeeey]

we look goood

[Fr1h0l3]

At 4:30, that guy's getting head to a Minus the Bear song. That's what's up!!!

[Mahaveez]

Youse guys are silly. The song is okay. Don't get bent out of shape over innocuous gripes.  Also, I'm heterosexual and tend not to celebrate Christmas.

[sk8tergirlie9]

so when does the show premiere? lol

[ZacFreeland]

Nice video. :D

[coldfustion]

HAHA!! I did pretty much the same thing (created a music video dor my own song with all my friends and my uni life) but it was done on a phone.

Here it is /watch?v=MZP68dAtn14

This is reallllyy amazing guys!

[buschschwick]

I don't get it. Waste of a Minus the Bear song.

[liketaylor]

this is the college experience i have dreamed of.

[williamxlange]

@Mahaveez Sometimes it's better to record without a metronome because you capture raw energy and sometimes there are so many tempo shifts to record with a metronome would be asinine, and yeah it's probably intended.

[gabdg828]

@Mahaveez uh, no it doesnt

[lolbet93]

@Mahaveez the tempo doesn't change at all throughout the song

[MrJ03M]

@Mahaveez

eat dick

[andresote182]

@Mahaveez You know what makes this band awesome? let me explain it to you... yes there are some tempo variations BUT HEY! without this tempo changing this band wouldn't be original and cool as it is... have you expected a cool gift for christmas but you recieved one even better!? well that's the expirience of listening to Minus the Bear... you cannot predict how the next album's gonna be... so hey! please stop the hatin' because i think and i bet you don't have the brain to do this kind of music

[Rockerosito]

lol @0:45 hahahaha "woot"????? xD

[badamaker]

Anyone else notice that in the tags it says "High Flying Pirates"? Hahahahaha.

[shokill]

I get it. I really do. This is a fantastic video. Like 100% Amazing.

[fountainhead01]

I cant really process this video haha.. its just such an awesome showcase of all the differet types of people from our generation :)

[TehVikin]

This URL has God in it...it must be good..

[timmaatimm]

@TehVikin Or not exist.

[xXPandaRaveXx]

@raphib3 Amen.

[raphib3]

genuinely cannot believe how there are arguments on 99% of youtube videos. what the fuck is there to argue about?! if this song does not make you feel warm and mellow you have issues.

[flameypoo]

i love this video you made. i think the song and everything goes together perfectly. ive watched a few times just because i love the feeling i get from it. its like you captured what the song is perfectly with whats going on in the video.

[georgegabriel9]

What camera was this shot on?

[tamborinemans]

I love having absinthe after dinner

[eeddddr]

ROFLMAO @jarrad123127 U ROCK! LOL

[lovetohoop2003]

Wow this is an amazing video, very glad I stumbled upon it!

[kimbolimbo13]

[kimbolimbo13]

[flashbang11]

Awesome video. That song combined with this video makes me wish for college again.

[sipasabayag]

Smash Bros. Melee and my favorite MTB song in one video? Instant 5-stars. Haha. Wonderfully shot, btw. Great work.

[sipasabayag]

my mistake, it's Brawl. whoops.

[blackstar241]

@sipasabayag Let's get a bottle and drink alone tonight (playing brawl)

[jdemuro1]

this music video is fantastic. you really put a lot of soul in it... also it's cool this is filmed at USC. mad props :) it helps that this is one of MTBs best songs..

[ThegodisAbraxas]

This band makes everything epic :) mtb is life.

[incoldwinds]

I saw a bottle of sailor jerrys!

[Belfingelz6]

"we look good side by side walking back to the hotel" <3

[Cheerieful]

What type of music would this be called

[OakleySprits]

@Cheerieful

I'd say it's just alternative rock.

[thebakerofpie]

@Cheerieful It would be Minus The Bear music.

[IWearAHood]

@Cheerieful Good music.

[underlinedbluetext]

I think its important that bands like minus the bear aren't swallowed up by masses of followers. Music should not be about how you talk, what you wear, who your friends are, or even drug of choice. So often music falls victim to trends and the unbearable stereotype of the disgruntled teenager. So far minus the bear has avoided this, and they've probably lost some money in the process. But they have gained a loyal following. I don't see any reason why I would miss a concert for the next 30 years.

[heca906]

@underlinedbluetext

lmao have you not heard the new album? they're gonna get way bigger than where they are now. sorry. yea, it sucks.

[underlinedbluetext]

@heca906 Yeah I have. We'll see.... hopefully that same attitude can carry through. Just because they change stylistically doesn't mean anything. Thats why I said....so far. And besides, bands have to change, otherwise you end up like metallica or a million other bands that tried to do the same thing over and over.

[heca906]

@underlinedbluetext

metallica didn't do the same thing over and over. but, that's a whole different topic. MTB is a great band. lets just hope they keep making music for our enjoyment as long as possible

[underlinedbluetext]

@heca906 you're right. bad example. but you see what i'm getting at. and i couldn't agree more.

[m00nEater]

@heca906 Yeah, I agree, it was trying something new that ruined Metallica.

[91Jolene]

i really like the video :)

and thats sorta a don't give a fuck, the world is ours song, love it :D

[iGrizzliestBear]

The name "Minus the Bear" comes from an inside joke among the band members, referring to the 70's TV show B. J. and the Bear. "A friend of the band had gone on a date,” explains singer-guitarist Jake Snider, "and one of us asked him afterwards how the date went. Our friend said, 'You know that TV show from the '70s B.J. and The Bear? It was like that minus the bear.' That’s the straight truth."

[underlinedbluetext]

@iGrizzliestBear hahaha! fantastic.

[musiqman203]

Actually made me tear, this is one of my fav bands and one of my fav songs, and my college days are almost done. This brought me back to all the ppl ive meet, will never meet again, miss and will miss.



[wpyKiller]

@musiqman203

This song always brings me back to the magic days. When my first love and I first met.. I teared up too man haha. She's gone now so this song kinda made my mind wander more than it ever did before now. Minus the Bear is a life changing band.

They make you feel that you knew them personally for 6 minutes, and disappeared of the planet.

[ThegodisAbraxas]

Beautiful beyond belief. The emotion this band can convey is something missing from most commercial groups these days...glad to see its slowly being reclaimed =)

[TheDwaynebank]

This is my favorite Amish-techno song.

[biglaity]

it's better if they don't have a vocal just pure math rock band~ that would be awesome

[kingfritz69]

That was pretty good, more locations would really brighten it up.

[mikedcaffey]

this video is what Minus the Bear means to me, thanks :)

[Stanislavftw]

this is my favourite Post-ironic Beardcore song.

[mikedcaffey]

@Stanislavftw HAHA i have never heard the term Beardcore, but i love it.

[aatsrawks]

hmm

[sk8ur2b]

saw them live in the Fillmore yesterday. awesome band, awesome song, great live.

[xWatershipDownx]

i love death metal rock on BREEE

[DancesWithLambs]

wait is the a music video?

[exranio]

the beginning always makes me feel sad

[Liface]

Wow. I actually thought this was the official video for Minus the Bear until about a minute in. This makes me incredibly nostalgic for college.

[lukedoesntgiveashit]

listen to sharks keep moving

its the same thing basically but from the 90's

[jordanpartv]

i love sharks keep moving!

[jakepic6]

@lukedoesntgiveashit

sharks keep moving is more jazz and less indie

i actually like SKM alot better, but i got much love for minus the bear

[DMarsh217]

that was sick keep it up

great video great song

[jarrad123127]

this is my favourite death metal song

[tbizzle1221]

@jarrad123127 is that sarcasm?

[thomaswyerxa]

@jarrad123127 this is very far from deathmetal man

[BTMegadeth]

@jarrad123127 awesome its my favouite contemporary country folk song.

[powningdanoobs]

@jarrad123127 i dont understand

[stevierags]

@jarrad123127 this is not death metal you stupid fuck...

[AfterDarkPB]

@stevierags He was just being sarcastically funny. Chillout. Enjoy the song. Don't bash.

[goalstopper3317]

@stevierags yeah dude, everyone including him realizes that. who's stupid now? dont be such a hater.

[sidhawk]

@stevierags you do realize how much minus the bear love death metal right?

[crispyman001]

@sidhawk you do realize what blatant sarcasm is, right?

[Soulgrazer]

@crispyman001 no, could you explain it to me?

and what other kind of sarcasm is there?

[C00Lcat69]

@jarrad123127 wish i could like this comment twice

[ianbrox]

@jarrad123127 That's like saying this is my favourite dubstep choon!

[IanJohn14]

that video is awesome man you did a great job with it

[bratasbrats]

the album highly refined pirates is the missing part in my MTB vinyl collection....help any one?

and ow damn they are awsome but so was botch :)

[mahoilen]

nice video! nice song

[numso]

best intro ever.

[LMcL17]

@numso 100% agreed. Listen to the intro 2-3 times every time i listen to the whole song itself.

[skaterchik3462]

@numso totally, man

[clarkdbro]

I went to USC and this is the best ad for that school I've ever seen.

[AstroZombee87]

All the little things in this video hit home with me, great job making this..

[DARKNESS51986]

this video is sick as fuck... minus the bear is good too... one of my favorite bands that no one knows about

[ubobchad]

that was incredible

keep doing what you're doing, please

[collinpfp]

i couldnt watch the whole thing through. its too beautiful and makes me feel terrible.

[mitchteston]

wonderfully composed with the music. this is the kinda thing i picture in my head.

[watwatwhywat]

i applied here! probably not getting in! : (

[NihongoBryan]

@watwatwhywat

dont put urself down. u can do anything!!!

[georgegabriel9]

This is such a beautifully shot video, with THE perfect soundtrack. Incredible

[animemefreak74]

this was the second song I listen to in 2010. The song makes me feel calm but happy. This song has the perfect format. Nice sound in the verse, pump up guitar in the chorus.

[twillis721]

This is always the song people are dying to hear at their concerts.... and when they finally play it, you feel a surge of adrenaline that is INTOXICATING.

[xzukkox]

omg omg omg niceeeeee woooorrrrkkkk!!!!!!! looovvveeeee ittt!!! they my favorit band ever. . . other ppl would probably have ruined the song. . but u guys nailed it!!!!!!! goes perfect with it!!!! the mood and everything. . . . cant wait to get to college and do stuff like that

[djrer99]

Minus The Bear is the best. I like how they have a pretty chilled out and relaxed sound. Their band sounds like a few guys who got together to have a good time and play some kickass music. I love it.

[2username]

awesome!

[dscameron]

I love MTB. This song is one of my favorites and your video goes well with it. I'm going to check out your channel.

The girl who looks into the camera @ 1:43 into the video is beautiful. (just an observation)

[astrofizician]

she is, but i like the one at 1:32 better

[astrofizician]

1:33...whatever

[berrrnardo]

Indeed she is.

[DARKNESS51986]

minus the bear is great and good ass video

[ZHawk8]

Sweet college footage; this is one of my favorite songs. Cool vid :)

[qbone20]

nicely done.

[heyu360]

this video is awesome! makes me want to make a cool artsy music video!

[jenke85]

Pretty awesome film you guys made, I'm sure it means a lot, what an awesome song to use as well.

[whenbored17]

College film videos are epic!

[squee247]

uhm, you mean university of southern california, not santa clara...

[yubbone]

wow, u guys seriously dont know where this is? usc, university of santa clara...

oh and the video is perfect for the song

[JORDANEast]

You're fucking retarded. Look at the tags. They're under the info section if you're too stupid to find them. They say USC SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Your

[JORDANEast]

You're either a troll or a dumbass.

[elmuffin2612]

1:49 - super smash bros!

Props.

[matchrocket]

hell yeah :D

[blackstar241]

MINUS THE BEAR "LOS MEJORES"
