[Sansatilla]

@BIMMIBIMIB no shit, thrice influenced me to pick one up after illusion of safety lol

[6footSmurf]

0:51 Dont look at the camera Riley!!!

[MrWalshmannn]

@6footSmurf haha i love riley, he tends to look at the camera and smile a lot while he's playing.

[MrExtremedays1031]

the bassist is playing a bass. its a type of bass. it just looks like a guitar

[Sansatilla]

@MrExtremedays1031 not a baritone guitar maybe?

[ChordalDesign]

this is an awkward listen.

[Danglesmusic]

Three guitars, no bass!



[syn161]

1 person is in to pure shit like justin bieber.

smdh

[arefx]

someones gotta help me figure the bass out for this, or at least the frodus version... I got most of it but feel like a moron.....

[baseballbuckbuck]

[XarandomninjaX]

[tommoelbommo]

2.29 math rock breakdown genius!

[checkerscuhh]

Frodus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jamiegentry11]

did teppei play jack from lost?

[MandalaSkies]

@jamiegentry11 Fail!

[90FirstGenPGT]

wait for it.... cue the 2:16 mark!

[Acrobatjonas]

Why not just play an real bass, I can understand if your Jack White. you can raise the octaves with an effect pedal , Its really kinda fun. but to anyone with musical instrument knowlege you just look really annoying putting out a phat groove on a jazz guitar... I love this song and that bass line, but i really want to punch myself in the face now!

[93guitarfreek]

@Acrobatjonas it's actually baritone guitar. it's lower than your average guitar, but higher than a bass. and he's playing it because the parts sounds better on it than on a bass.

[Rendell05]

@Acrobatjonas anyone with musical instrument knowledge knows that an Epiphone Sheraton is not a Jazz guitar. Anyways, I was surprised as to how he was getting that sound, but why do you care about how he looks when he's playing the groove rather than just care about the groove itself.

[whogotdmosh]

telecaster > banjo... NIGGA I WANT SOME BANJO!!

[iaintnofish]

is that suppose to be a bass?

[devonsucks]

that baritone guitar sounds great

[sheilareynolds]

i want to meet the person who clicked the dislike button. i can only imagine what they listen to.

[firefighter813x]

It's funny how the VOX amps and the Fender logo on the headstock aren't there.

[Anakin1988]

@firefighter813x they dont have the fender logo because they not Fender. They are Nash guitars... they are made from fender parts but "road worn". Check them out.

[RealWorld91]

amazing !

[FlyBird]

Original > Cover, but this is p good.

[duduhead5000]

This song was originally written by a punkish band called Frodus they're pretty cool too Thrice pwns all but seriously look them up on account of "If Thrice thought they were worth covering they are probably worth listening too."

[EdmOil83]

with short hair, Eddie looks a lot like Riley, they actually look like brothers

[robfftl760]

@EdmOil83 they are brotherss

[glydeuserhelp]

what are there things in the ear for

[blankShot8787]

@glydeuserhelp to listen just how cool they are

[93guitarfreek]

@glydeuserhelp they're in-ear moniters! they let you hear what everybody else is doing

[luckipeni]

thrice is my homie

[luisick]

how can a guitar sound exatly like a bass?

[OuchMyGlands666]

@luisick It's a baritone.

[xPlayxEvansxPlayx]

using an Epiphone Sheraton for a bass? ive seen everything now! ive seen a no neck bass, seen a wahmmy pedal bass, but ive seen everything when i see a epiphone sheraton bass!

THRICE YOUVE AMAZED ME YET AGAIN

[TheOnlyxOne88]

You know Dustin's Nash Tele has a Line 6 Variac brain in it, right? Haha, AMAZED AGAIN. AGAIN. =P

[SarcasticSunriseHxC]

very disappointing version, they removed all the energy from it.

[TheNatedogg56]

@SarcasticSunriseHxC It's cause the energy was all wrapped up in the fact that the album version is so raw and lo-fi. Agreed though, this one isn't as good.

[ClassicalPan]

Too damn good.

[TheNatedogg56]

Sweet version of this song but I gotta be honest: nothing beats the loose feel of the bass on the album version.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

Awesome. Love the Alchemy beards.

[Bergreen88]

WOAH! An asian dude with a beard!

Yet another reason to love Teppei.

[DntPnic]

They do on their Live at the House of Blues Disc.

[or19937]

Why have'nt they ever mentioned that The Earth Isn't Humming is a Frodus cover?

[xmoralcrusadex]

Buy the CD and look at the booklet. "The earth isn't humming - Written and originally performed by Frodus." Yep, yep.

[Mklztr]

Yeah! There's very little Frodus on here... :/

[somentine]

Other way around, tard.

[roydied15]

why are they using a guitar for bass?

[neverslept]

maybe ed felt like using a baritone?... lol

[kasinecz]

@roydied15 I think it's a Baritone Guitar. It has a bigger neck and is tunned lower. It lets you play chords.

[sukum17]

@kasinecz no it's not, thats an epiphone sheraton ii its got a 24.75" neck but still sound like a bass to me, and i dont know why... anyone?

[supersox40]

octave pedal- down two octaves.

[luisick]

@supersox40 this is not enough to reach this basstone, I'd say it's something like those amplitube / guitar rig thing set to emulate bass. damn sure I'm wrong!

[OMFGallusernamesgone]

hmm for the end of the phrases in the chorus,

I think its something like: 7-8-7-0-x

(if what happens at the end is a mute (x), and I think it is, why is teppei reaching so high up the neck?)

What do yall think? And no one tabbed this right at all, lol capo on the 2nd fret? Never would have guessed that..

[OMFGallusernamesgone]

i'm trying to figure out how to play this... especially the chorus, no one has it tabbed right

[MarcusWrit]

To: theattica and bottomgrooves.

Dustin said he uses Line 6 Variax in his guitars.

Mostly for alternate tunings.

Ed may be using it too.

Regardless if he's using an octave pedal or Variax... or if it is a baritone... All I know is that guitar sounds amazing.... could you just imagine the riffs that could be played if you owned it?

[turb00]

you can tell teppei's having fun at 2:22

[theattica]

I can almost guarantee Ed is using a de-tuned baritone guitar...just...because he felt like it. I think it is in the tuning that "Firebreather" is in. There is no electronic pitch shifting. it's just way down to A.

[evnben]

♥

[Sjames0]

1:50 = best part

[now5230]

the earth album isn't for "rocking out"

[BlackDahliaHomocide]

Fuck off

[jmaguerra]

Way better than the original song, IMO. But I think the guitar sounds a bit out of tune in the album version.

[ned2one]

Lol there is no way it would be out of tune unless their sound egineer is absolute rubbish...

[braaaainz]

and in this case, teppei is their engineer

[wanabsd8ed]

It's so strange seeing Ed playing guitar. Such an amazing song though.

[MusiCisStylE]

actually i think he has an octaver.

he plays on the guitar because its easier to play this lick on a guitar than a bass and electronicly transscribes it 1 or 2 octaves down. u can tell by the thickness of his strings that he cant possibly get out such a low tune out of the guitar.

[bottomgrooves]

he doesnt play it because its easier on guitar. hes a bass player it would be easier for him if it were on a bass. no the reason he uses guitar is it gives him the sound that he needs for this particular song. he then tunes it down an octave and runs his line into a bass amp. this gives him the loose strings and low notes that suite the song perfectly

[jihaddante]

Great song! Loved it live!

[HostofSorrow]

I Love This Song

[reignviper]

Friends let friends listen to Thrice.
