12 Rounds - Personally (Directed by Chris Cunningham)

[45009234]

With the money Trent has these days he could bring Nothing back and have it as an indie label like Important records.

[funkidelicslap]

cc is the shit

[zyxlamonde]

chris cunningham is god! I hope to see something new soon !!!!

[L3dtube]

hhmm

[allinaroe]

this is one of those songs you want to make dirty love to. haha

[jrodoctorwho36]

And I thought I was the only one who thought like that.

[Rammstein13579]

i bought the Director's Series Chris Cunningham dvd and i got cheated out of a lot of videos, this being one of them, that sucks!! anyone know why this happened? this is a cool song...

[demonfire456]

CC hates his early works, he admits that he did any music video that he was asked to do to try and hone his skills and build his name, thats why its not on the DVD :)

[Cockoblock]

Ross stated that a new 12 Rounds record was finished a couple years ago, but a release looks pretty bleak since Nothing is defunct. What I ask myself is why won't Ross just release on net, Reznor style. They might not get much profit out of it, but they shouldn at least release it for the fans, it's not like he needs the money, he's rich.

[kuhbler]

I think it's because they don't own the recording. Nothing Records does.

[L3dtube]

hmm

[mariija1991]

gr8 song. does anybody have it on pc? i can't find it in this fuckin' internet. :C

[frauleinjenna]

I can definitely see the similarities in this song, and glory box.. but jesus. PH is so vastly overrated. they're really not that great. Claude's voice suits the sound so much better, i think.

[Problembeing]

I found there video in a charity shop. There other stuff is also good.

[SoulhavenNZ]

I love this song. I've been looking nearly everywhere for it, but there is only the one album available on Amazon, Ebay, etc, and it doesn't have this song. How do I get this song?

[uplink2r]

read the description

[SoulhavenNZ]

I can see what album (or rather EP) it's on, but I can't find a copy of that anywhere. As I said, I've looked on Amazon & Ebay to buy it, but I can't find it.

[uplink2r]

something about nothing records going under makes it illegal to sell their recordings. fing shame.

[kuhbler]

You'll be lucky to find any of them for sale. I bought them all when they were released luckily! :)

[L3dtube]

are thay still on nothing records ,and what happend to it ??

[ringofstarrs]

cool!

[happablap22]

12 Rounds is a phenomenal band. I can see how people would make some sort of a correlation with them and Portishead, but 12 Rounds is much darker. I love them both, but really comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges.

[himura1871]

Exactly. I think the vocals are actually a lot closer to Nina Simone than Beth Gibbons, but whatever. I guess it's natural for people to think in abstracts.

[ohorridus]

I suppose some people would accuse The Cure of blatantly ripping-off Siouxsie and the Banshees, too, or Alicia Keyes of ripping-off Tori Amos on account of their both being female vocalists who play the piano.

"Hurrrr, it has a similar tempo and they also use theremins and vibraphones! Therefore, it's a blatant ripoff despite the vast difference in vocals, lyrical content, agressive guitar work, etc. etc.!"

Youtube really is the short-bus of the internet.

[himura1871]

The thing about "stealing" another band's sound is that EVERY band is guilty of it. That's exactly what pushes music forward. Portishead's sound didn't just come out of thin air. Ever hear of a band called United Future Organization? Give em a listen and then tell me Portishead didn't directly lift sounds and riffs from them. That's what's so cool about popular music. The next generation pays homage to the people who inspired them and shares that sound with younger fans.

[alejandro15187]

I just don't understand how anyone could make music so derivative of another artist's work. How do they sleep at night??? I'll wait for the next Portishead album. I've already waited 10 years or so. I understand influence, but damn, they're not even try to hide it!

[squidzinc]

An amazing and understated band. Selling albums does equal money, but not creativity. Money gets the albums heard, but struggle creates the intensity in the music. And where there is poverty, there is struggle. Where there is struggle, there is purity in the art. 'My Big Hero' is an amazing album.

[y2jbrock]

12 rounds rules!

[jeloopa]

Sampling isn't stealing since the author of the sample receives a share of the royalties from record sales and must legally be cited in the sleevenotes.  These guys seem to owe a lot of their sound to Portishead, but good for them, I love Portishead :D

[JBLanteigne]

Thanks for sharing!

[shizzvanessa]

i luv 12 rounds!! i make lots of luv to this music

[Antkoff]

Portishead's also "stealin" from other bands. In "gimme a reason" thing, the whole music apart from the beat and vocals is "stolen". Well, yea. It's stolen.

[pumpkinking6]

this band is so cool reznor from nin produced them i think. cunningham did a good job on this video.

[hitechms]

Portishead kicks ass, don't get me wrong. But I don't see how the PH fantards can accuse 12 Rounds of ripping off "Glory Box" with this song - the similarities between songs don't justify the accusation against their artistic integrity. 12 Rounds is clearly a different band with their own style that makes dark music with interesting female vocals.

[alejandro15187]

maybe not that song, but this is blatant.

[lcortier]

Very good, thnx for the extensive video description !!!

BTW, Cunningham made a music video for Portishead too. And although this music is sounding close to Portishead, I think it clearly has it's own personality, it's not a "copy" of PH.

[mysterymusicbykarla]

5*****

[mysthicalmystery]

I LOV*****************(*)

[dorksighted]

WTF?!?!?! I believe in recycling as much as anyone, but isn't this the most blatant bite-off of Portishead?

[vosattestor]

Yes, it is. Although I believe in stealing, is not right to steal many elements of one particular band at once, not to say ALL elements at once, 12rounds are not stupid, they should know better, way better...

[timelles]

Hey, this isn't sounds like "Glory box"? Someone please tell them that Portishead had this pedestal...

Wake up and smell the coffe, kids!!!!!!!

[timelles]

"Doesn't".

[pumpkinking6]

this band is os fucking good it a good clip by chris but not his best but this kick ass fucking band makes up for it

dam im wet from watching this

[Vaughmit]

Pretty boring for a CC video, it looks like an average music video, I was waiting for a zombie alien to come out and devour all their instruments.

[213millst]

I'm always asking about 12 rounds and people have no idea what I'm talking about...

Atticus working with Trent now?

[The11thlegion]

Claudia Sarne is so beautiful

[KrakenSoundscapes]

A really nice Portishead feel to this song....

Always liked 12 Rounds since i bought their debut cd years ago.thx for posting.

[tragiclamb23]

ok this is my first time hearin of this group and im sad that i didnt hear of them earlier :0( but im totally diggin it and now ima dl some of thier stuff

[MonikaVHI]

Wow, everytime i see this i just want to kiss claudia Sarne...

ps: it is a shame that just few people know about 12 rounds

[Lewphil]

I think its great that only a few people know about 12 rounds

[antichristck]

if more ppl know the band the band can sell more and if they can sell more they can keep making music, more ppl listenin, more songs for those who like it.
