[dunceman9]

@BansheeeeBeat it's the song creature from the album creature comforts

[pizzaROX]

battles? wtf nothing at all like this

[TheJohnSanderson]

What is there to learn from this?

[MirroredxGh0st]

Sounds like transformers making fuck.

[clistere2]

goddamn

[raarset1]

im all out of pot this is no longer interesting.

[PoorSlothtrop]

too bad the mic couldnt handle the face-melting bass...

[xbyiu97]

take any "traditional" music group from the present and show them to someone from the 1950s and they will criticize it as "mindless" and "just noise." call me crazy, but i think this is the way of the future.

[flabbyballsack]

@xbyiu97 haha. no. 

[xbyiu97]

@flabbyballsack k bro

[TMTKowalski]

@xbyiu97

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. People created more experimental music than this almost 100 years ago. Read something about dadaism, Luigi Russolo (search for him here on youtube), John Cage, avant-garde, vorticism, futurism, or go to UbuWeb web site and learn something.

[xbyiu97]

@TMTKowalski i never claimed to be an expert on experimental music nor did i imply that black dice were more experimental than some of the greats you mentioned

[TMTKowalski]

@xbyiu97

I was just saying that this kind of music can never be "the way of the future" like you said because experimental approach to music started at the beginning of 20th century, so there is no any logic in that. It's like saying that electric guitar and distortion is "the way of the future" but we know that people used it for decades, that's all.

[xbyiu97]

@TMTKowalski experimental music has always existed, hell the first song ever written was an experiment. and with your electric guitar metaphor, you're implying that all experimental music is the same even though its not. when electric guitar came out, it was an experiment.i looked up one of Luigi Russolos compositions and read the wikipedia article on him and a lot of things he did which were highly experimental during his time have now become commonplace in music, which i think proves my point.

[TMTKowalski]

@xbyiu97

Yeah, yeah, it's a common place... I've been playing drums and guitar in several experimental bands and I don't see that people going nuts on Arnold Schoenberg or John Cage's music on first place, not to mention bands like this. Not even 1% of all people don't listen experimental music. Same thing was 100 years ago, but only now you get that artificial feeling that is popular because we have internet and it's easier to be aware of all these things.

[xbyiu97]

@TMTKowalski let's compromise: when it comes to experiments in music, some elements achieve success and popularity, while some elements do not. a lot of things that are popular now were at one point experiments, but a lot of experimental things have not become popular. fair enough?

[misterbn]

I didn't that they use to be 4. That's awesome.

[pradaisgay]

Boring...zZZZzzzzZZZZZ

[kontube]

does anyone know what that white effects processor/pedal thing is that bjorn (guitarist) is using is?

[bicyclesecrets]

that's a korg kaos pad. not sure which model

[kontube]

ahhh yes thanks, i believe its the KP1 actually

[nicky560]

Where people will criticize this as being "mindless" or "just noise", we have to realize that approaching music as having rules is not understanding the originally intended function.

This stuff is post-modern and pushes boundaries, because it is so different from other styles. People should appreciate that aspect of it.

[wayfarin]

it may be all that, but it is still somewhat thoughtless. in the same way abstract expressionism is somewhat thoughtless (and pisses people off in the same way). i think i kind of fall in the middle. i know from experience that it is very easy to sound weird but pretty impossible to sound weird and wonderful at the same time. i don't think they pull it off.

[KenKowwwrb]

I will never understand battles to blackdice comparisons

[waxanimalparts]

i think the black dice to animal collective is total nonsense. black dice is black dice. no comparison.

[Ramentastic]

Battles are an excellent band from Earth

Black Dice are an excellent band from another dimension.

[JustusTubes]

battles are good, black dice is better

[sheriffsixtyfour]

Battles are poo.

[bobtheblob916]

they opened for battles...made me leave and not come back

[watchthematrix]

wow battles should have opened for them

[chup1ladas]

crap!!!!!!!!

[trainteeth]

wow this is some shit, and ive heard shit

[findingusernamesucks]

HISHAM! I'm seeing him this weekend yes I am

[jimsottile]

IT'S FEEDING TIME!!!! - Thanks for this :D

[54spiritedwill54]

i luv em man. this is not music this is pure sound wall!

[CertainSparks]

Yay! Black Dice got a delay pedal for Christmas! Even these guys wouldn't defend this poo-poo. Jandek rules, and I grew up listening to Glen Branca but this is SUB PAR!

[BeQuietPeter]

awesome.

[SomeShows]

You're just jealous you're not in possession of the immense power Black Dice withholds.

[BigMuthaFuckinLion]

uhhhhhh

[ForOctavioPaz]

was this the Godspeed You Black Emperor tour? If so, I saw them then...yay

[dannynanner]

@ForOctavioPaz I think this was a few months after that tour ended.

[personpitch92]

who was the guy playing the drums?

[Sloth131987]

is it hisham with a nearly shaved head?

[SomeShows]

Hisham Bharoocha! Yes, it is him indeed.

[littlecatpiano]

the song being played is "Creature" off of the album Creature comforts.

[SurfaceToday]

check out animal collective - cuckoo

reserve judgement

let it kick your ass

[andersersand]

no direction?

[yosky5411]

is that a clear guitar??

man, i hate how the sound ripples in and out towards the end, just when the song is picking up for a sort of climax.

[SomeShows]

Yeah, it's a Ampeg Dan Armstrong Guitar. They're neat guitars. Justin Pearson plays the same model, only it's a bass, in The Locust.

[steliocockey]

i luv em mannnnnnn. this is not music this is pure sound

wall!

[ConfuseGISMGauze]

This kind of sounds like the song Heavy Manners.

[emireaksoy]

gülesim geldi.

[wiggermaniafag]

this is stupid

[drdpatches]

that was supposed to be a response to the "this is stupid" comment

good video

[willisdholla]

Their sound is ridiculous; right up my alley. But this seems like one awkward ass of a show. A Gang Gang or Lightning Bolt show is a lot more suited for a crowd.

[SomeShows]

Man, are you kidding? I would love to see them all at the same time! Much rather than just one or the other.

[claus4]

thx very much
