[damninfieldfly]

tammmo67 writes like he's 12 and has just learned how to swear properly and is keen to get as much filth into one post as possible. Grow up.

[SadPanda96]

killkill691, if you had spelt a single word of that correctly, or if it had made coherent sense at all, maybe people would have taken that a little more seriously. XD

[SadPanda96]

oh no, never mind, i just watched one of your uploads XD what has been seen, cannot be unseen

[tammmo67]

killkill691 If you stop letting your mother fuckin gay bitch ass cunt friends fuck you in the ass at night,after you've fallen asleep from listening to too much wham.You might find that the shit you take in the morning won't come out like piss and smell like shit running out of your bitch ass.

[HeisW140]

Shihad is to music what fine wine is to culture.

[alastairrox]

killkill691 Jesus Christ calm down.

[TheReinaLia]

Wonderful resemblance of John Cusac (however spelt) intelligent none the less :-) and from NZ xxx

[cerphres]

Is it just me or does Jon looks like John Cusack?

[BeneathTheSmiles]

@cerphres Haha I was just thinking that. :)

[PedroCaveira253]

2 peaple isnt a beatiful machine

[Sknyrd]

1 person is Justin Bieber.

[Stundek]

@mischkje I would agree to stop following Shihad if Jon Toogood ever considered that.

[conspiracyofsilence]

it's not fair...they write all the bomb tunes....

[erikaa69lopez]

Who in the hell would DISLIKE this song . This song is the best. The first time i hurd it i was like( W00W!!).( Thiss is a really go song)(; LIKEE<3(:

[verbatim5610]

[BadMoonRising0202]

Love from France! =)

[elianakatie]

shihad we love u

[fukumori]

John Cussack XD

[BadMoonRising0202]

@fukumori So true! I thought exactly the same thing!XD

[xtatictimes4ever]

A rather ugly machine hated this video.

[heppolo]

It's a great thing to explore different directions musically or socially.

The "Beautiful Machine" has that post-punk revivalist vibe in certain songs which were never seen in the earlier works of Shihad.

[cojodoodoo112233]

awesome musics guys congrats on getting into the nz hall of fame

[Pricklyhedgehog72]

I'm a Kiwi who's been living in the US for a few years now, we have website collidingpictures which we've just started up. I try to plug as much Kiwi music as I can with the muso boys I can and anyone who's listening...it's the patriotic thing to do right? That and lets be real, Kiwi music stacks up pretty well in terms of its professionalism and sound. Go Kiwi! Go Shihad, you guys are awesome.

[Regc10]

dosent he look like John Cusack?

[1oakst]

good base line.

[Regc10]

Shihad is a amazing band, love nearly each and every one of their songs! sucks they couldn't get a breakthrough in the U.S markets. 

[jgesselberty]

@Regc10 They have far too much talent for the "manufactured" talent being foisted on the US markets. Each of their songs is different and actually have a point.

[clint667]

best rock band ever

[jgesselberty]

61 and still sitting here in Central Pennsylvania, USA and loving your music.

Great tracks.

[CommunistNewZealand]

@jgesselberty lol jesus christ did they get that far

[jgesselberty]

@CommunistNewZealand Yep. I live near York, PA just south of Harrisburg. I came across Shihad when they were using the name "Pacifier." Their live CD is some of the best music out there and constantly in my car CD player.

[CommunistNewZealand]

@jgesselberty lol thats bizarre, how a band from here can go international, ending up on your CD player millions of miles away.

[jgesselberty]

@CommunistNewZealand

I actually got my first CD by mistake. Instead of sending it back, I opened it and played it. I loved what I heard and now have most of their stuff.

[CommunistNewZealand]

@jgesselberty its dam near impossible for NZ bands to break into the US. Have you heard of Straight Jacket Fits , and the Chills?

[jgesselberty]

@CommunistNewZealand

Thanks. I definitely have to look for them. Just to give you an idea of my taste, I am actually a big fan of opera and symphonic music, but love a great band like Shihad to kick back to.

[CommunistNewZealand]

@jgesselberty yea, they have some balls but are also melodic. It's good to have a tovugh sounding band out there.

[zurpeo]

shihad!!! enough said. keep it up guys!

[lovesbeautiful1]

NZ BANDS ROCK!!

[lalalaroflmao]

20,000 Views. Classic NZ music not being recognized by the rest of the world :*(

[GreetTheSacredCow]

@lalalaroflmao Erm, they are probably off recognising stuff from Killjoy and The General Electric. I hope.

[BlazerYO22]

This makes me proud to be a New Zealand =D

[BlazerYO22]

*New Zealander. LOLOLOL

[hunter69hills]

shihad were amazing opening for acdc! i never liked them until seeing them.

but aklmightyjarve, ACDC is waayy better than shihad. ACDC are the best rock band to ever hit the big time, thats just common knowledge.

[1oakst]

Mean base line

[inutile10001]

Paging Devo?

[ngame1994]

fuck yes i see these guys opening for ACDC

[almightyjarve]

@ngame1994

i'd totally go to see these guys over ACDC any day.

not that i don't love ACDC, i just think shihad fucking own

[saradawn6]

Go shihad NZ

[nzcorey]

The best live band hands down! Jon is the ultimate performer, the way he can 'whip' a crowd is so awesome to watch! I love watching the guy that always has to pick up his mic when they play live, he's always knocking it over..

[exothermic13]

he totally looks like john cusack.

love this song..! :)

[timbo177]

Wow, I was thinking the same thing!

[rosettast0ned]

beautfiul machinnnne!

[Knoxor]

ok, so dont go post bullshit on their videos.

[SpedoCop111]

Priskazka your an idiot, Shihad are amazing

[Kranski4]

same.. i've always thought John Cusack looked like Jon Toogood.

He also copies Jon Toogood's style.

Everyone wants to be Jon Toogood.

[CyanideHappiness01]

EPIC ^_^

[thefishmeister]

From my recollection Jon Toogood's hair was longest in "love is the new hate" which i think was by far their worst album, best probably being the general electric.

That said he should totally grow his hair back.

[philthy122]

Saw them early 90's with Supergroove, from what i remember of the concert it was fucken awesome.

[nortystace]

OMG, these guys rock so much. I love this song. My dad said he saw them when they first got together when he was about 18-19. 5 years before i was born, lolz. Still going strong.

[Hyperluminal]

fucken awesome m8!

[torrenstc]

brilliant!

[Guevaristas]

it's similar to Hercules, if he shaved it all off he would be unable to write a single note of music

[Tyferra]

You're thinking Samson Guevaritas. ;)

[Stundek]

Why is it that the longer Jon Toogoods' hair gets, the better Shihad's songs are.

[mariotenniskid]

good song

[zuppah]

Amazing song and band, how come I've never heard of 'em before? :<

[YPUK0PALMY]

are you from new zealand?, because that may be the reason...

[106321]

Gold

[Louisenz2]

bloodly hell are they the best band ever or what. how proud am i to be kiwi.

[BoogieWeeDom]

Cant wait till your next concert guys!!! Your awsum

[MasterKeiya]

This guy has an awesome singing voice cause he puts his all into it. You can see this in their live performances. Love you shihad. Hope you guys live forever :)

[tubbey76]

OMG! I thougt it was John Cusack!! Talk about look-a-like!

[LosSenoraDiablo]

lol i was thinking there was some similarities, good thing im not the only one who sees it, LOL.

[Tyferra]

He kinda does in this music video. I think Jon Toogood looks more like John Cussack.

[Ozwa1d]

This guy looks like Kevin Spacey, but they rock

[Shihadmusic]

thanks for your comments. we had fun doing this clip and if you search for Sam Peacockes other clips, you'll see that this guy is pretty gifted. Check out the NASA version in our favourites section. cheers. k

[rohan750]

yeah rock on karl!!!!

[marilynpooky]

The lead guitarist is my brother in law, this is their best song I reckon! Woo!!

[xyverz]

I agree, this is some of their best stuff.

[ajisjesus2]

Much Applause and Love from Hawaii

You guys deserve to be known GLOBALLY!!!!

so whats holding you back?

[CommunistNewZealand]

@ajisjesus2 lol thats far out, Hawaii, a million miles away from nz

[marquinhodub]
