Abney Park - The Root of All Evil

[XLolitaxholleighX]

captain roberts voice mmmmmmmmmmm

[runedude65]

@MisterClassified I onley return what's given.

[pianoman930]

They were awesome even before their steampunk days. Sweet!

[runedude65]

@Theodorkable Wow finaly i found someone this pathetic. Pathetic enough to take out all of the anger they have and unload on a random person on the internet. I dn't care, i never will, and trying to tell me again is just adding to the pathetic. If this is honstly the worst thing going on in your world today then go agead post back, but i have a thing called a life and i have better things to do with it than listen to you rant with caps and adding teenage girl things like "ROAR"s into your post.

[MisterClassified]

@runedude65 Ahem! Nearly the same you did.

[XaleManix]

@runedude65 Hey now, roaring is a commonly accepted greeting among some circles!

^this is an attempt to be funny. It probably failed.^

[axelthegreat9]

@XaleManix it made me chuckle

[RedBigButton]

@runedude65 The CAPS and ROARS were quoting YOU. C:

[runedude65]

@eschercheshire yes but apparently today's world cant understand anything but please the little fangirls. i hate today's music -_-

[Theodorkable]

@runedude65 Because obviously YOU are the ONE AND ONLY TRUE PERSON WHO CAN HAVE ANY OPINION ROAR. In a few years you'll dislike what you used to like, kiddo.

Anyways, you should just chillax and let the "little fangirls" enjoy their music and go on enjoying what /you/ enjoy instead of bitching and moaning that someone, somewhere, likes something you don't.

God forbid a lot of people love Justin Bieber. Obviously it hurts you physically. HNNG. THE HIPSTER IN YOU SHRIEKS IN HAUGHTY PAIN.

[blazendz]

@Theodorkable damn son you mad as fuck

[artistrecruit87]

@blazendz HAHA...that shit made me laugh my ass off for some reason.

[eschercheshire]

Hello, Mr. Radio/CD store people, THIS is what we want to hear. Not Bieber, not Lady Gaga, not Taylor Swift.... In fact, those people should be cowering in fear from the shear amount of talent Abney Park has compared to them.

[Anthonyplaybass]

i love their old stuff, but i like their new stuff better

[ShadowDwellerXXX]

want that faerae tattooed!!!!!!!

[NevidljivoPismo]

Niiiiiice.

[Russell12104]

I think the music is great but I hate how all the steampunk music I have listened too has some techno beat behind it.

[Sealevelmike64]

This is so deep and so relevant to this time and age, just look what WikiLeaks have

had effect!! Age after age this song adopts new relevance. One wonders a band

steampunks, outside the mainstream the music media, have chosen to re-render

this 'protest' song? Is there a link to old Xena episodes?

[otterdog95]

@Sealevelmike64 u know this song is about child abuse?

[AspergirlSithstress]

@otterdog95 Who says that?

[otterdog95]

@AspergirlSithstress Robert Brown, writer and singer in abney park

[AspergirlSithstress]

@otterdog95 When???

I always thought it was about society's disease...like 'Down with the Sickness.'

When did he say that?? I'd like to know! (non-sarcastically---you've really piqued my interest now!)

[AspergirlSithstress]

@otterdog95 Oh, never mind, here it is.

Robert's livejournal.

[BTIsaac]

@AspergirlSithstress

Oh come on. If you need to look into a live-journal to confirm that... seriously, isn't it obvious enough?

[AspergirlSithstress]

@otterdog95 Apparently you were right about Victoria as well--it is about Victoria Climbie.

[AspergirlSithstress]

Love this song...sooo haunting. Haunting. Love.

[AspergirlSithstress]

I love this song.

i like the steampunhk stuff too

[mangotimes]

I feel like Abney Park needs to do a world tour or at the very least a US tour.

[rkt739]

stop talking about how to steal their songs, they deserve to be paid for this awesomeness

[shiningdragoon120]

where can you download this song from i love it but cant find it anywhere

[shoonger001]

@shiningdragoon120 there is a whole discography torrent out there if it resorts to that

[insanityjunkie]

@shiningdragoon120 You can pay for it on Amazon or their home website. ^^

[Bleitnix]

its amazing. one hand i will calm down and on the other hand will jump up an dance.

[Rapmaster502]

I heard that they're playing at a new convention next year in March called the Wild Wild West Con. It's in Arizona, I believe. I've been debating if I should get their older stuff, because I really love their new style, but I suppose any fan of Abney Park should go back to the roots if they are to call themselves a true fan.

[RobertThomasRosario]

cool

[LillithBax]

I'm totally kicking myself in the ass for not seeing them in concert when I had the chance. WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH ME????

[krystalklear21]

They played at A-kon 21! I am hooked

[Zangarang]

@krystalklear21 They totally did! I'm hooked as well, I can't get over their awesome sound. I've had Dear Ophelia stuck in my head since A-kon.

[Wheeliecoolgirl]

Have they ever preformed at any of the Steampunk convensions?

[linkofdarkness]

@Wheeliecoolgirl yes, they performed at steamcon in seattle. theyve done one in cali and also dragoncon

[kaityniblochilldawg]

i love abney park

soooo good

[Duncanthedonut]

it kinda reminds me of

MORTAL KOMBAT!

[xXDeathonwingsXx101]

Damn this is an awesome song! :D

[MortalLuc]

Does anyone know where I can get a instrumental version of this song or other music from Abney Park? I wanna use their music for a non-profit steam punk animation project that's currently in development.

[KenshinKunsinagi]

You could just check their website out.

[linkofdarkness]

@MortalLuc go to the website and send them an email about it. if they find your project interesting they might back it. they just lent a song for use in a online radio play my friend is doing.

[BTIsaac]

It's not really up o them. Even if they like the idea, their publisher won't, for the simple fact that it could mean people getting access to Abney Park songs without paying them anything.

[fapofwarcraft]

NEEEEERD RAAAAAAAGE

[Spideretta]

Thanks for uploading! This song helped me come up with the idea for my novel!

[JuiceboxFairy]

LOVE IT!

[Helsling]

>.> I thought they formed around 93?

Cause I know a few songs they have that are original are from 1993. ;p

[sneezythesquid]

Anyone going to Dragon*Con, they're performing and will probably have a booth.

[Dragonx0562]

@sneezythesquid : They always perform at dragon*con.

[Curiousss]

I heard them for the first time on City of Heroes radio. :D

[calebweberlov00]

im mad cuz i can never find thair CD's in the stores... i love thair music

[pyrnrd]

they're on iTunes though

[anarchodude172]

@calebweberlov00 torrents rock lol

[TeaPartyParade]

@calebweberlov00 If you want, I can send you the music through email or something.

[masterworm1]

@calebweberlov00 You can buy their albums from Amazon for digital download for 8 bucks a piece. Don't forget to grab their new one, Æther Shanties, it's amazing.

[striker297]

@calebweberlov00 they sell all their albums on their website. they are completely independant from what i understand, so you probably wont see their stuff in stores anywhere.

[CantTrustAnyone]

@calebweberlov00 record the music onto audacity and then burn it to a cd.

[AspergirlSithstress]

@calebweberlov00 some underground-y stores have them, like Gothic-type, off-the-wall places. I know this place called Ranch Records where you can get a copy of Evnescence's 'Origin' and other never-hit-the-charts stuff, and I'll bet you can find AP in a place like that--if you get there in time!

[realcelestialphoenix]

@calebweberlov00 you can order off their website

[Gretgor666]

@calebweberlov00 iTunes?

[90geekgirl06]

@calebweberlov00 Check out their website. They have CD's and instant downloads available, as well as some fashion items.

[5divcaptainaizen9]

abney park is really amazing.

[drstrangeman]

i like both old and new abney park. but i love how their music has a feeling of meaning somthing other than killing, shagging, and money. ya know, it's like their puting life expirences and turning them into an interesting song with a lot of fluidity and spirit ya know?

[TestaXDizzy]

Yeah, I see whachu mean.

[Theodorkable]

@drstrangeman Sounds like you got a hold of some good weed or something, man. 8|

[drstrangeman]

@Theodorkable if only if only. but no i am asthmatic so smokeing is not such good idea. but yeah this is how my brain usualy thinks. when i'm just listning to good music.

[AspergirlSithstress]

@drstrangeman I agree with the entire comment. I always feel like I'm getting a story from their sound.

[drstrangeman]

@AspergirlSithstress yup. and one can relate to them.

[DragonGamer9]

@drstrangeman i could not agree more

[DestinyCrafter]

@drstrangeman Agreed wholeheartedly. Songs must have meaning. \m/-^_^-b Good to know there are still people who got other things (besides the ones you mentioned) in their lives. :)

[Siegevehicle]

@drstrangeman Ya I know lots of people who like rap and it's like when you share your music opinion they're like that's gay music.... All people think about today is drugs money violence and sex

[drstrangeman]

@Siegevehicle it's sad really. but what can you do? hell look at it like this. it ain't cool to be smart. it ain't cool to be productive, or a nice guy, and have nice cars or just general honest person. it's cool to be a rapist murderer who sells drugs on the side and drive retarded looking cars.

[4inchdicklet]

@Siegevehicle drugs money violence and sex have always existed! it might be interesting to hear a steampunk song that does these topics in a 1800s perspective. Flintlock pistols, opium, and ladies-of-the-night!

[Ibucrthis]

@4inchdicklet Don't forget absinth!

[littlenannybot]

@4inchdicklet whoever said they didn't has clearly never heard Victorian Vigilante. If you listen to the lyrics it sounds eerily like a serial killer or a mob boss.

[8KingFisher]

@4inchdicklet Pimp my Airship?

[dinosradd]

@Siegevehicle Lol I like the "mainstream" stuff too 8)

Anyways, is this their older stuff or newer stuff?

[ZombieSEX]

@dinosradd This is their older earlier sound

[FreyjasFighter]

@drstrangeman COMPLETELY AGREE, my friend!! 8D Finally somebody who thinks the same way! :D xxxx

[drstrangeman]

@FreyjasFighter i know right?! it's just a sad world we live in today.

[FreyjasFighter]

@drstrangeman Definitely! :) xxxxx

[jochemlol]

@drstrangeman Probably....But i think it fits in with Steampunk great...Well it's Steampunk Music after all x3.

[ibstrd]

Thanks for uploading. Heard them for the first time only a few days ago.

[hellfreak007]

it becomes super awesome at 1:37

[incalove333]

yaaay love them !!!

[jsgreyshade]

Big AP fan myself. Sorry you don't like the newer material but they always play this song as part of thier live set and they always rock it hard.
