Silversun Pickups - Substitution

[SourToiletSeat]

I like this song.

[grinskist]

Yeah, this is a combination between Smashing Pumpkins, Blackmail and Wolfmother

[instructure1]

I like this band but i'm i the only one who think that they really look/sound like The Smashing Pumpkins and the bassist is really hotter than D'arcy?!

[thachronicmasta213]

Damn.. This song is Incredible. This is one of the songs that I want to listen to right before I die. It reminds me of the best of times, and how good music really is.

[SmashAttackOnline]

@thachronicmasta213 In memorandum...ThaChronicMasta succumb to his injuries last night.

[thachronicmasta213]

@SmashAttackOnline heheh... i'm not suicidal but i still think this song is tha shit...

[SmashAttackOnline]

@thachronicmasta213 ARGGH FUCKIN ZOMBIE SCUUUUM!

[thachronicmasta213]

@SmashAttackOnline what the hell?

[zomgseriosuly]

Don't mean to sound like a hater but this sounds like the tranny version of Mike Posner or something. It's scary

[40ounceofJuicyJuice]

@zomgseriosuly I was going to say "fuck off" but then I thought about it and...he kinda does sound like that...shit

[zomgseriosuly]

@40ounceofJuicyJuice But I said "don't mean to sound like a hater" to make sure bitchez weren't trippin

[Feenexfyre]

It's amazing how a a song can reach beyond what we would shield from anything else. Beyond all else, it breaks the barriers guarding each and every listener's hearts and speaks true to us.. and forces us to speak truly back. When a song can make you sing.. REALLY sing, with passion and excitement, you're at your truest. And when a song can enchant a person in such a way, it's undeniably a perfect peace of art.

[SmashAttackOnline]

@Feenexfyre Stop trying to cover up how stupid you are and just listen to the music bro.

[mra30303]

Me: Mom im going out

Mom: Are you going to kill 20 people

Me: No, Im gonna get blunt with 806 people

[DiffrentObsessions]

F***ING AMAZING

[antgardoni909]

I jizzed from 3:25 till 3:50 lol

[Scrytcher]

his voice is so sexless but I love their tunes...

[jonbruh]

3:35 gives me chills.

[jonbruh]

Starting at 3:27. INCREDIBLE.

[emilyr1992]

did anyone else think this was radiohead the first time they heard it ?

[MrDonjelly]

@emilyr1992 na just you

[icherokeechief]

the drums at 3:50 gave me a boner

[darthzeppid]

@icherokeechief ur not alone

[EmoKittyValentine]

hai :3

[RmzCrush]

wtf it's obvious that it's a guy who think it's a women?

[HoodyBoy85]

They gave a free show in St. Louis about a year ago and it got rained out...WHY GOD?!?

[semonchick]

To people who are new to the Silversun Pickups:

1. Yes, the singer is a guy.

2. No, I doubt he got kicked in the balls to hard when he was a kid.

3. This is an amazing band.

[Quixoticelixer009]

@semonchick haha xD

[ste3lwill]

@semonchick this man speaks truth

[semonchick]

@ste3lwill Thanks, lol.

[Swoon412]

Yes hes a guy , he perfected his voice to sound how it does for a reason , look it up. Either way they have been my favorite band for a while , i never get sick or dislike ANY of their songs! I just wish they would come to pittsburgh =/

[JessePThomson]

This is a guy!?!

[MsAngellove26]

He sing so good. Look Attu

[MsAngellove26]

I love this song sooo much. I can't get it out of my head!!!! It's sooo awesome!!!

[helloyoshirbyails]

[arinross523]

[erk21ful]

Awesomw song :)

[2klime]

What a great song, love his voice!

Thanks for the share!

2klime

[kpzmurphy]

such a good song ima try and see them live on Aug. 3

[JociiCupcakee]

:D

[Grave187RIP13]

Wanna know who these guys remind me of? No one! It's fucking awesome.

[skylinefolife]

Why do people come here and say that they listen to metal, but they also like this song? You don't have to stick to one type of music "genre". Music is music. Listen to everything.

[artisticagi]

@skylinefolife i love you right now

[skylinefolife]

@artisticagi lol. I love you too. Hmmm... What about tomorrow? Will you love me tomorrow? *sad face* haha

[LHCLEGION]

@skylinefolife I think it needs to be rephrased. "I listen to metal, AND I like this song."

Big difference in meaning, when you substitute 'and' for 'but.'

[neatborrito]

@LHCLEGION Shut up.. Everyone knows what he meant.

[LHCLEGION]

@neatborrito No they didn't.

[MrSlayingsanta]

@LHCLEGION You fucking idiot and or but in that sentence made sense. Stop trying to look smart. Its reaallllyyy sad actually mate.

[LHCLEGION]

@MrSlayingsanta lol

Both are grammatically valid, but the meaning is different. If casually suggesting this means I'm "trying to look smart" then you must have some pretty deep insecurities.

[bankaibuddy15]

I listen to Lamb of God and I love this song!! :D

[fiendorgyfetisha]

@bankaibuddy15 i listen to Sopor Aeternus and i love this song too =D

[SturmFee1988]

Reminds me of Placebo ;)

[borrachalokes]

Love at first listen!

[HearfortheMusic]

This, so beautiful

[neilzbradley]

i really love this song :D although i usually listen to metal i still like this alot :)

[OsideDubHead]

340,000 view woohoo!! dope song by a great band :)

[MrSlayingsanta]

I am the 339,339th view...That kicks so much ass lol

[blazindude12]

Im really happy that nobody put up a naruto reference. If they did I woulda facepalmed myself and switched vids...

[21stCherryGirl]

@blazindude12 dangit.. now i have to switch videos..

xD

[Mexikoolz71]

@blazindude12 lmao i get btw i play this song to avoid attacks

[Imxoneofthefallen]

Silversun pickups + weed + driving on a sunny day with the windows down = best moment of your life!!!!

[MrAvatarW1]

silversunpickups+weed=perfectd­ay.

[neckface777]

2:20 is the best part for me

[daisybyalyssa]

I heard this song for the first time at work and ever since then, its been one of my favorites. :)

[khand45]

other songs are not good enough when i listen this

[muselover144]

[IamBruce11]

[isshinryu11]

[zxcv06]

when reactions turn into hurricanes </3

[Dougie14th]

18 people were picked up by a sun...that was silver. 

[Smiles0215]

2:42 - 3:17 is a gift from God.

[skyapodaca]

@Smiles0215 I feel the same way bro.

[tlawson583]

@Smiles0215 no. 0:00 - 4:42 is a gift from god

[RebornNinjah]

@tlawson583 :)

[SparklyyMegan]

@Smiles0215

only one thing; god isn't real...

[RebornNinjah]

@SparklyyMegan im sorry you believe that..maybe you should make an effort if you are 100% sure of your assumption, this is coming from someone who is telling you not by faith but by factual experience! anyway great song, don't you agree?

[DetectiveBlackGuy]

@SparklyyMegan way to be a dick.

[bassskilla]

@DetectiveBlackGuy Please do not feed the trolls

[thehalflifedude]

@DetectiveBlackGuy

Way to get trolled.

[thechangingcolors]

the silversun pickups really know how to make music, let me tell you

[Wheresmyphone1]

This is my new fav song! ;)

[DaNevula]

[aquabat104]

[soccerstar997220]

[182JOSIE182]

[HearTBreaKiD023]

[XxsiananxX]

omg i just remembered this song how could i forget its sooo goood love iit <3

[dantheman12851]

They blocked the music video on you tube in Canada? Sucks

[ehitsfattony]

@dantheman12851 fuckin rights! bull shit

[mistanigga]

yeah I refruse to believe thats a dude signing, its simply not thank you very much

[hollipoison13]

@mistanigga watch the music video!!!

[Cursor102]

I can't believe I've listened to this song so many times without looking at the lyrics. The lyrics are incredible.

"If you shoot them down

It'll make you soar"

To me... it shows so clearly how stupid it is to blame someone in order to view ourselves as innocent and lift our own self-confidence. People do it all the time in such an ugly and brutal manner (the throwing stones and aiming for the throat analogy in the song) and don't realize it.

As usual, well done Silversun

[DIllonthablazer11]

GREAT SONG!

[cmanclan101]

3:24 best part.. cant get it out of my head.

[hanojimoo70]

@cmanclan101 i know! its my favourite part of the song

[PaulyDrama]

@cmanclan101 3:11- 3:24 :)

[pnc23929]

Ahhh.... Loooveing this! -3

[Seergio15]

FUCKING LOVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­!

[kstoughton]

this has smashing pumpkins written all over it and thats ok :)

[Grave187RIP13]

@kstoughton No, this has Silversun Pickups written all over it.

[kstoughton]

@Grave187RIP13 dude are u dumb there sooooo heavily infulenced by the pumpkins but thats ok my band is too do some reaserch

[Grave187RIP13]

@kstoughton Just because they are influenced by the Pumpkins doesn't mean that they sound like them. They may have some similar qualities, but hey do not sound the same. Don't get me wrong I love the Pumpkins (I own their complete discography) but they do not sound the same.

[guyanaboi122]

@kstoughton the pumpkins are my favorite, a lot of people think that this band is similar to them

[Cleonetv]

i am GOING to get a MAJOR recording deal really soon... type in ovidmedia and click the cleone my life video and see if i have what it takes... to see more videos go to my channel PLEASE

[KikiHatesYou]

15 people...Ah I hate those fucking things.

[cupcakexxninja]

This reminds me of doorbell by white stripes.. don't know why.

[Lizologie]

I think his voice is so hot. Mainstream music has had voices like his before; Rush, Coheed and Cambria, now it's Silversun Pickups. Keep the legacy going!

[xBillyTheKidx]

the bridge before the solo is SO good, how did they come up with that.

[xBillyTheKidx]

@GrRrrrunge8794 i hope not, because it is my ultimate master plan to one day have her as mine! :)

[RaWrZ1901]

love his voice <3

[mojoojojoo]

@RaWrZ1901 some people say he sounds like a girls in some songs but i think its SICK!!!

[Adicted2Anime777]

@RaWrZ1901 Wait.....His?!.....I need to go to google real quick.....

[RaWrZ1901]

@Adicted2Anime777 lmfao yes its a guy ahaha

[resilientkid]

@RaWrZ1901 .......his???

[esmirnaZblackrose]

i like it...a lot.

[AimeeViolette]

I cant stop listening, seriously got this on repeat!!!

[wolfcub8864]

see them live the drummers awsome!

[MrSilverbackkiller]

this band is awesome when i first started hearing their songs i was just like what the fuck but after hearing more songs i was hooked

[MsHeartbreakerz]

Wow brings bck memories!(:

[PAULPATTONSURFS]

Yea ,this Is Excellent .S.S. p-U* s Rock

[DeadlyKharmicCrush]

@soigintou i like 2:20 to 3:50 the most

[thesubstitutioncomes]

Fuck!ng Epic. More people should know of this band. U_U

[stewardo]

I don't know why people argue on the internet. Just go to wikipedia. Pikul is an EP, then Carnavas and Swoon are their two full-length releases (LPs)

[MorningView4]

This track has a 90's feel to me. Which is a good thing.

[SErgisimo1]

@MorningView4 reminds me of smashing pumpkins

[misterBasto]

First time i heard this song i didn't like it that much, but i put on my ipod any ways. One day it repeated and i let it repeat for probably the whole day. I fucking love this song since last year.

[kissthesky891]

love the lyrics

[MsRenzybenzy]

Eeeeeeee!

[kidkollector]

solo is totally nes megaman. anyone agree?

[cornyking1992]

@kidkollector i did not think about that untill you said something good job

[zildjianx]

the fuck is this

[SexyJackass]

@zildjianx this, my friend... are the Silversun Pickups. the BEST indie-rock band ive ever known :D

[beelzenef27rawr]

@SexyJackass AGREED 100%

[yinucsd]

technically 2 albums, or LP's, if you will. and one EP. depends on what your context of the word "album" is. the technical definition comes from the vinyl days, where they made EP's (extended play) and LP's (long play). while some think of it as a single body of work whether it be 6 songs or 16 songs. i'm old school, so i say two albums and one EP dammit. luddite right here...

[RosesEntwined]

love the song, AND the album cover :D

[tayrae85]

the singer was the singer for wheatus too, you know, teenage dirtbag...totally him

[thebreadcolonies]

@AmorAmbee yeah seriously this is my favorite song by the pickups

[PeaceNirvana1912]

My friend showed me this song, I'm glad he did now.

[hellogoawaynow]

[misterBasto]

First time i heard this song i played it on my ipod nonstop for a week i still listen to this song all day!

[GEnovahs]

from smashing pumpkis

and i like it!!

[cornyking1992]

@GEnovahs i love the smashing pumpkins i think this is their today

[Lightningshire]

This song is soooo addictive! I have had it in my head for 3 weeks straight lol :D. Love the power in his voice at 3.26 <3

[PeaceNirvana1912]

I loooooove the intro riff so much.

[kellyandhershoes]

THIS IS NOW MY FAVORTIE BAND

[Causticlight]

@kellyandhershoes Haha That is what I said.

[kellyandhershoes]

Hey, are you under 13????? :|

[essentialXOX]

I listen to this song at least five times a day. I love it :-)

[kellyandhershoes]

I listen to this song waaaaaaaaaaaay more than three times a day. I listen to it like alot,mostly because i needa get a life lawlz.

[therockinator92]

this stuff is amazing

[weirdalfreakmm]

Woah i didn't know Billy Corgan started a new band.

haha jk i love silversun

[1mpak7]

i like the band and everything, but i still cant figure out whether its a guy or a girl singing...LOL

[3leggedpup]

no way me too! ...its a dude though.

and yeah, theyre sickkk!

[blackdiamondsword]

The band members are as follows, and yes it's a dude. lol. I had to look it up when I first started listening to them too.

Brian Aubert - guitar/lead vocals

Nikki Monninger - bass/vocals

Chris Guanlao - drums

Joe Lester - keyboards/samples/sound manipulation

[digthetunes]

how many albums do they have out? anyone?

[SquintsPBHS]

As far as I know, they have two: Carnavas and Swoon (this one).  I don't know if they have anything older, I really only know them from what I've heard on the radio.

[Stumonkie]

Yep. It is two.

[STInation1]

actually it's 3..Carnavas, Swoon, and Pikul

[Stumonkie]

Isnt Pikul an EP?

[cornyking1992]

@Stumonkie yeah i think so

[youthboy14]

@Stumonkie Yes, it is an EP. If you're counting albums, it's 2, but if you're counting releases, that would be 3 (singles don't count).

[CriticsConfession]

@Stumonkie Still, I'd consider it an album.

[leigh911z]

@Stumonkie It's an EP but none of those 7 songs are on any other album. So......I would cont it as a whole album,
