The Locust - Vocal Warmup

[bbnnkk1]

didn't they have a member named ricky gross?

[Mouflapil]

Wish I could scream : with the guitarist strenght and with the clavierist overhandedness...

[BuzzmFrog]

I saw them years ago and I totally forgot that they did this when I saw, them until I watched this. Thank you for the memory.

[beowulven]

Lame

[garyteasing]

i really like all of their yells. joseph sounds a lot bigger now which i didnt like at first but it grew on me. jp always sounds awesome. and bobby is just blood curdling. i love the locust =) 

[MONSTERQNUG]

[Singularum]

[nasalscarecrow]

I saw The Locust a few times. Soundcheck was brilliant.

[atainder]

Trolling on YouTube is not art.

[predsk8s]

bwhahahha! fuckin sooo deadly!

[jjlerma27]

[xSPLENDAx]

[megaclayman]

[modestvermin995]

Oh my god, the one at 0:26 is the best display of vocal talent on film!

[victormiller]

best soundcheck ever

[pitchassmuthafunka]

lol that's how to soundcheck!

[Skorne710]

Yessiree this is the world of Youtube! Where drunken idiots can be found blasting their asses off of the rooftops of America, right next to America's Next Top Model, and Bands like The Locust here. ( Kudos )

But, all in all, no one cares for your overbearingly uncalled for comments. Its overbearing because no one cares, and its uncalled for, well, because, thats right Sir, you guessed it, No one cares.

So in conclusion to the first, and last time I will ever speak to you - Fuck Off.

[NicholasMcClintock]

@Skorne710 HOLY SHIT YOUR COMMENT WAS UNCALLED FOR AND MINE IS TOO! FUCK XD

[Skorne710]

Hey there Mr. Sexualpervert! Why don't you quit being such a loser? No one really cares about your strong opinions here sir. Nope. Not this place. No sir, here, we keep things, well, cold. And partially fucked up!

[sexualpervert]

thats because you suck and you like crappy music...The Locust have blown away any band in the past 10 years...but so why talk about how they scared you because ssomehow you came across a band that actually likes to perform. This make people like you write stupid comments that I then read and get upset over and now look at what Ive done.

[guitarsofthegods]

@sexualpervert can you even call this a band or music? this is the worst garbage ever made.

[PlanetTristan]

@guitarsofthegods This isn't music. It's a vocal warmup.

[Deadguy56]

scared the shit out of me.

[macaulaymcculkin]

epic.

[jtermin4t0r]

@macaulaymcculkin wow....

[Wasthatafattygrunt]

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AMAZING i love the locust so much, especially justin pearson

[DethVox]

What the FUCK did i just Listen to?

nothing against them, I've never evn heard them but still..

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!

[sexualpervert]

[freeskier04]

[TommyDole]

the first time I saw these guys live warming up I was like WHOA!

they were creepy.

too bad nobody recorded it :(

[sickosandsuch]

My gods. Who was the last bug?

[gordonfucwitt]

[dontlaughatmyface]

[garyteasing]

[nasalscarecrow]

[paulnaylor]

They really are. Gabe is especially friendly.

[rolocopoand]

bobby bray wins every time

[eric69]

[asklcnvivdf]

The bassist sounded like he got his balls ripped off.

[StzaCrizzack]

that's the point

[HaateU]

...eh.

[13191215]

hat last scream gives me the chills :)

[bigman1225]

faggots

[STEAMBOLT]

naw 8-)

[SuperMopTop]

If someone hits you in the eye with a rubber band, this is what it would sound like.

*snap*

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!"

Gotta love the Locust.

[BOARDPUSHER999]

nope

[Anvilpants]

hahahahahaha

[BOARDPUSHER999]

lol wtf

[Kanser421]

if someone makes a vid on how to scream like these guys then your god

[aahmm]

gotta be soundcheck not vocal warmup right?

[maplecustom99]

nope

[fredyzpt]

JP sounds just like joe when he screams...i like bobby's high pitched scream

[animedude107]

i dont mean to offend anyone, but this is fucking harlarious, their "screams" sound so stupid lol

[roflnty]

They are "warming up" lol

[ttr4827]

i love the locust and the fact of you saying that doesnt really matter. i think its hilarious whther your a fan or not

[fredyzpt]

10 points off, you like anime

[TommyDole]

that's the point.

[Barcode711]

0:17-0:20 = their music

[sexualpervert]

no way my friend said he smoked a cigarette with justin twice at show in valley. I heard it was a menthol.

[glennchez]

no vocal warmups when i saw them both times in 99. jp's got one of the sickest sounds comming out of his mouth still to this day. doesnt need to be a shriek. fits perfect in evrything he's been a part of. gabe's a sick fucking drummer too.

[tinfetus]

I have to admit when I had seen them perform.

I was in awe just by the vocal warm up, hahah

but mostly I was surprised to find out, whom does what.

[CocoaShunter]

these dudes are not smokers, especially bobby.

[deezol]

LOL!

theres a few guys saying "skeet skeet skeet"

lolz

[Salvador312]

kool

[Xetrev13]

[loudfastrulez]

[dillingerexcape87]

[seemarleau]

The Locust are amazing.

[perpitbla5]

Amen to that.

[thomas151]

[offwiththehats]

Jesus. Internet fighting over comments on a forty six second youtube clip? Shut the fuck up.

On that note-

JP's vocals are amazing. and Bobby is a death box.

[xDilemmachinex]

I can't stand these guys.

[DeaDLettuce]

[DeaDLettuce]

O yeah BTW Melt Banana just needs some minor tweakin and then they will eventaully become better, they still cool

[AnxIronicxCliche]

hahaha

I can see me!!!

[revolutION89]

locust is the shit

[maskedcheese]

they did a split with melt banana slipknot dumbass

[RyanAllenHolland]

says the guy with slipknot in his name lmao

[slipknot9999555]

They fucking suck!

[slipknot9999555]

What the fucking jesus is that?

Who ever listens to that is a fuck up in life.

They have no musical talent what so ever.

If you like this I would advise you to listen to Melt Banana.

They suck like you do.

[HypnoticksJ]

cool name....

[23daysofclarity]

Melt Banana is pretty cool actually, haha.

And like HypnoticksJ said. Cool name. :P hahahahaha.

[slipknot9999555]

Melt Bananna is worse than these guys, I saw melt bananna live with Tool.

THEY SUCKED

[23daysofclarity]

Meh, they don't suck. I really don't listen to them that much, hell I don't even have them on my iPod, but they don't suck. Come on dude. Saying a band sucks is just stupid. Either you like them, or you don't. Some people would preffer to listen to The Locust than Slipknot, like myself. That doesn't mean Slipknot sucks, I just don't take a liking to them.

[slipknot9999555]

I find this band to have no musical talent.

[23daysofclarity]

Ok, now that's just absurd. Technically, they have talent flowing from every orifice in their body. The guitarist is a motherfucking ripper, and their drummer is like Jesus behind the kit. Their music obviously isn't going to appeal to everyone. I can't find the write words to express my opinion on this subject...I'm horrible at explaining things lol. Technically, they have great talent.

[slipknot9999555]

i'll make a vid responce

[23daysofclarity]

Now see. Bands like Nile and Necrophagist play fast for the sake of playing fast. The Locust are...fuck, you know what?...I give up. I can't continue lol. You can win by default I guess. I've never been good at explaining things. Maybe someone else will come along and help my case.

[23daysofclarity]

Hopefully you got where I was going with all that nonsense. :P If not, that's cool.

[emonik]

whats with you slipknot fagz.

seriously.

or are you still the same one who thinks their music is hot shit.

who pulled a dimond out of your ass?

[slipknot9999555]

No, it's just this is just, well I cannot describe how bad this fucking sucks.

This band is complete shit.

[JNerdy]

Half Right. Slipknot DOES suck. They haven't put out anything worth while since their first release with Roadrunner.

[slipknot9999555]

Wow.

Your pathetic.

I don't even like Slipknot anymore douche bag.

I'm glad they don't i'd shove my foot up all their assess for making such shitty music.

This type of music doesn't have any talent what so ever.

I wouldn't consider this music.

It's almost pathetic as you are. =]

Oh yeah by the way i'd like to shove my foot up your ass too for being a jackass.

[Converge88]

Wow. No talent? You obviously have never listened to them, or have never attempted to play an actual instrument. Any one of these guys have more talent than all of slipknot or (insert-shitty-metal-band-here­) combined.

The fact that you don't consider it music means the Locust accomplished their goal, because they don't want someone who likes Lamb of God listening to them anyway.

Boring, produced, mainstream bullshit. Go away and leave the real music to us.

[slipknot9999555]

Dude the so called music this band produces should be considered racket.

I'm learning bass

I scream

and I do some guitar.

And I can tell you straight up this band fucking blows dude.

They dress in Locust suits that right there should prove to you how gay and shit they are.

[Converge88]

I also scream and am a damn good guitarist (not to brag but...), and I can tell you, as a musician, that this takes unbelievable talent to: a) write b) perform at a high level (which they do). Also keep in mind they scream, WHILE playing totally structureless music. EXTREMELY difficult to do.

If you don't like it fine, but don't say it takes no talent to play, because it is MUCH more difficult to write this stuff than a metal breakdown/song.

[slipknot9999555]

I don't like Slipknot anymore. Not one bit. But to me this band does everything but produce good music. To me it's racket I don't think what they do takes much talent. I'm in a band, and to be quite honest everyone of my bandmates plays better then this crap. Just us messing fucking around trying to find a good song to write sounds better than this. Thats just me. Thats straight you like them good for you. But I don't. So good for me. Simple as that.

[Converge88]

Well I'm glad you outgrew slipknot, but that doesn't lend any credence to the view that "the locust suits are gay, so their music sucks," because at one time or another you thought costumes were cool/okay.

My question is, who cares? They want to do something different. Fine. The costumes, name and musical style all tie into the theme of "The Locust."

cont.

[slipknot9999555]

Wouldn't you make fun of me, if my band was called the grasshopper. Would you not make fun of my band? Especially if we dressed in grasshopper suits? And we sucked horridly and our bands screaming sounds like a person getting killed or raped? Yes you would.

[krisbr]

that's like arguing "would you not make fun of slipknot if it was called "the noose"" go die

[sexualplumbing]

holy shit!!! i never realized the locust is a bug!!! HOLY SHIT, THEY"RE TOTALLY DRESSED LIKE LOCUSTS!!!! oh my god, if i had know this before, i never would have listened to them... your worthless.

[Converge88]

Is it pleasant to listen to? No. Melodic? Hell no. Can I understand why you/most people would hate them? Absolutely.

But to come on a Locust video, and make the absolute ludicrous statement that they have no talent completely shows your ignorance of what musical skill is.

I'll give you an example. I just watched your videos of you screaming. Not bad, similar to Lamb of God. However, I think they fucking suck. So, by your logic. You're a terrible fucking screamer. Doesn't quite add up, eh?

[Converge88]

And I do hate Lamb of God. I think most death metal is terrible (early gotheburg scene and Nile are pretty good though), but I wouldn't say they have no talent. The Locust are incredibly talented. Their guitar is all over the place. Constant stop and go. They follow no musical rules. You have to at least admit their drummer is mad-talented for coming up with suitable beats for this "racket."

[Converge88]

"No talent" is an immature, silly statement to make, and you wouldn't come off as such a jackass if you just acknowledged, "takes talent, I respect they're doing something different (every band that challenges the status quo deserves SOME respect), but it's not for me."

[Converge88]

Yes, it's a "racket," that's the point; an entirely eclectic, random grouping of sounds pulled off in an unbelievably cohesive manner. Some of us like a musical challenge.

Telling me "straight up" that a band blows is not going to change my mind.

And do you not see the irony of insulting a band for wearing costumes when your name is "slipknot." Hilarious. Locusts > Clowns.

[23daysofclarity]

I don't know each's individual names'. But the bassist is the best in my opinion.

[aerodynamic321]

Justin Pearson - Bassist

[23daysofclarity]

I know that now, but thank you. :)

[ryharsth]

haha to true gaaraxundead, and not to mention how technical they are. and they regard themselves as musicians not "artists" like losers form coldplay and the like

[CocoaShunter]

Justin's is the best because of how quickly it gets under peoples skin out of the three. It has such an obnoxious yelp to it, it's truly excellent. I can always tell his from the others. But it's Gabe who cleans house each time.

[ConfuseGISMGauze]

Personally I like Bobby's scream the best. It's so annoying and high pitched, it's what makes the spine tingle. Anybody who hasn't checked out HENK (Bobby's other band, 1 man thing) should check it out on MySpace, it's hella funny. He uses this little high pitched gremlin voice in all the songs.

[closer2death]

OH MY SHIT. Thank you for the introduction to Henk, I love it. OH NO! OH NO! I CANT BREATHE! Pure unadulterated awesome.

[xChainsawxGutsfuck]

hahaha...some guy yelled "skeet skeet skeet"

[travieso17]

its orgasmic wat it is

[ryharsth]

yeah, the locust is not noise, it has structure, and i can play there songs on my bass, which bassically tells you they are not noise if i can tab out there songs

[gaaraxundead]

people who donnot appreciate the locust by saying 'theyre shit its just noise' are completely ignorant. there is a genre of music called noise, and oh shit, some people do listen to it believe it or not. the locust are artists to me, and theyre lyrics are true. some bands/music are more strange than others get the fuck over it. Oh, if you hate the locust so much, why watch videos of them on youtube? dumb fucks. I bet you like shit like Coldplay. :)

[1nazchan]

I think its fucking funny... but class!

[jimmytheoutlaw]

i love all of the locust equally

[ConfuseGISMGauze]

Honestly, I wanna know why everyone can't mention The Locust without having Justin's name or abbreviation in the same sentence. It seems like nobody wants to mention anybody else. I mean, sure, he's basically what started the band's "fame" or whatever, but still...I mean in reality you can't even hear his Bass, you hear everyone else's sound. There's nothing really that great about him otherwise.

[poopymooo]

i can clearly hear his bass because of his Filter modeler on synthomatic.

[krisbr]

i do kind of agree with you, everyone always talks about JP. He is awesome, but I think they all equally share the load with the music, and on new erections, i think bobby and joseph stand out

[eric69]

bobby always stand out for his amazing guitar riffs.

JP is cool but everyone talks about him cuz hes like in every other band on three one G. i still like him but id have to say my favorite is bobby

[oldbloodstreams]

Best vocal soundcheck ever.

[jimmytheoutlaw]

thats cute

theyre all sexbombs

[ebatra]

Haha fucking best band!

[andydornerownsme]

[andydornerownsme]

'this band fuckin sucks'

i highly dislike you.

[ffwoodycooks]

ahahahhaah justin's vocals are the best because of that "wah" he adds to the beginning of like everything

wwwwwaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[mcdee187]

[ConfuseGISMGauze]
