WoW! Hell yeah! Love Silversun Pickups! Listening to a lot of Silversun, Hey You!, The Offspring, My Chemical Romance, No Doubt, and Weezer...
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaaaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a cute chick singer :-) ...check em out....
@Mtc1904 How is it amazing for a war movie? im trying to picture it i mean the songs great btw i do cinematography trying to picture it bro haha. let me kno
Some years ago, two parents went out for dinner. Some hours later the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover the clown statue in the nursery, the father said, "Take the kids, let's call the police because we have no clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you do not post this letter on 10 songs tonight, you'll see the clown in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand.
Just so everyone knows, this song is made 100x better when it has the 40 second intro from the song before it on the cd. You can search it by typing "silversun pickups royal we lyrics and intro". check it out.
i heard this on the radio 2 nights ago. I was hammered 2 nights ago. maybe thats why it sounded good then. maybe im one of those drunks that like fag boy music when under the influence. that might mean im gay when im drunk. id prob take a shot in the mouth when im shnockered. i must like hard boners in my face while im drunk if i liked this song when i was drunk. no im sure of it. im gay only when im drunk. eh worse things could happen, like this song stuck on repeat.
@bananaordie whoa, that was a close one, thanks! yes, what I meant to say was I sound like a complete dumbass when I listen to this music. (Thanks man)
@UnFathaMabLe Wow a homophobe and a dumbass. I guess it's not a surprising combination. Maybe you should be drunk more often. Like until you get cirrhosis.
@UnFathaMabLe Haha logic fails you agian. You said that you only like this song when you're drunk and that you are gay when you are drunk, and then followed that by saying both that your becoming gay and liking the song are bad things. You also called this fag boy music, which is using a derrogatory term for gay people to insult the song. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you aren't a homophobe. Oh and dumbass.
Ive wanted to listen to this song forever, well since I moved from Washington to Idaho. I miss the good music there, all I have here is crappy and braincell-killing country music.
"Misery inspires, your throat has been cut several times before, never noticed the size of the flow It can't be ignored"....."And when its all over and you open your eyes and it still wont turn on inside, and you'll be lying by a note on the floor side".....those lyrics just left me flabbergasted, some of the most POWERFUL lyrics i have ever heard!! it's imperative people take them to heart!
i never feel happy after listening to SP. beautiful music but i've listened through both albums and decided, not for me. it makes me think of all the bad drug come-downs i've had in my life (which, of the like, 4, were from mushrooms or ecstasy. drugs can be fun or spooky, kids.)
mostly SP invokes images of the car rides home to the routine of life, thinking of the little deviation i can make on this planet... the Joker makes a living out of it in DK. everything can be burned, at the end.
@khriseagle I just listened to Panic Switch and I couldn't get into it. Can't get into this one either. I guess Lazy Eye is the only one I like then. :(
@khriseagle I'm kind of the opposite I like The Royal We much better than Panic Switch, even though Panic Switch is a good song....but, this and Lazy Eye are my two favorites and Growing Old is Getting Old.
@jessruinstheprom and if you do, I'll hunt you down and......have a beer with you, possible talk about the good ol times, pick up some chicks, bring them back to a hotel and give them a royal fuck while listening to this song! how's that for a slice of awesome lol
Probably one of the more detailed SSPU songs. I didn't expect to like it, as I'm still partial to Lazy Eye and Comeback Kid. But thanks for uploading. Good stuff.
This song is so perfect for one of my novels. If I could finish an animation on anything considering a timely basis, or if it was ever made into a movie, this song would play right before the epic final battle.

@OldManDanHatcher I mean, obviously that as well. But that's also very subjective. My point is this band is not for 'abnormal' people who think they're 'lolanti-mainstream' because that's just stupid.
@emphaticleech The only songs they have on the radio are singles. They have an independent label. I.e. not mainstream. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Besides who the fuck cares? mainstream or not, this video isn't a debate it's a song. Call it what you will, but enjoy the music. A lot of work was put into it.
@IlkenGirth I love this song and band. But I'm not delusional enough to think they're not mainstream. Indie label? Who gives a fuck. They have music on the radio, music videos and have made appearances at the Grammys. They're mainstream. Why does everyone think mainstream means bad?
Oh and I guess Nine Inch Nails isn't mainstream since Trent has his own label, which is technically an independent label. And you think I have no idea what I'm talking about? yeah, k. cool story bro.
Like I said, it depends on the label and if they are under the radar. Which they are. They are out there, but they are no where near known enough to be considered mainstream. I heard them on the radio once, ever. Barely anyone knows who they are and if they do know then they don't like them.
Get a different hobby. I'm not arguing with you about this. Grow up. You obviously have your opinion and I have mine. Don't comment back, i won't respond.
@IlkenGirth "Don't comment back, i won't respond"? HA! Good cop out. I guess you don't listen to the radio much? Panic Switch is played about 5 times a day here. Hell, the music video is even always shown on VH1 and the rare Rock Block on MTV. Tons of people know who SSP are.
Hell, I know people who've never heard of Rush. And I know nobody around here who likes Green Day. GUESS THEY'RE UNDER THE RADAR LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
@emphaticleech Despite the fact that you're kind of being a gigantic tool, I see where you're coming from. My local radio station plays Lazy Eye at least once an hour. Either way, get over yourself, I know what IlkenGirth is trying to say, and I think you do, too.
@sightfortheblind Gigantic tool, my ass. He's so high and mighty and thinks nothing good can come out of mainstream music...when he listens to a band that's mainstream. Ignorance gets people nowhere, especially in music
This song is amazing. I kind of just pushed them aside on their first album and said "Meh, just a Smashing Pumpkins wannabe". Then, I heard this. Wow, I tip my cap to these guys. I will be buying this one.
eh this song is alright for the silversun pickups..they used to be all indie sounding but it seems like they are trying to rock a little harder.Good for them.
This song is pure genious. I think that the whole album is awesome, but this is one of my favorite songs ever. The buildup, structure and lyrics in this song are so epic!!
@swampdonkey504 I don't like society, I think the people who get fake tans, starve themselves, get haircuts every week, always are shopping for new clothes to live up to societies standards are the freaks. Not the ones who don't give a shit what they look like, eat all they want, go to sleep whenever they want, and don't care what people think of them (what society calls, freaks)
@TheRagnaroak Getting a haircut is rejecting society? I trim my hair once every couple weeks nowadays to keep the hair out of my eyes and it just looks really good.
@trekker0110 It would be more accurate to say Copernicus was the man who recieved credit for that idea as he had mathematics on his side. Wikipedia...
Galileo did that for a scientific breakthrough. Rejecting society for something like that is completely different than how kids THINK they're rejecting society nowadays. Nobody on this planet is altruistic or actually rejecting some sort of group. Everyone is a part of a group.
This music is hot ! It is only for us freaks. If u are acceptable to society, go back and listen to your creed, matchbox 20, daughtry, and nickelback !
Silversun Pickups are not for normal people, so please hit the curb with your tranny comments.
@hexagonisaurus - Good for you. If you knew me then you'd realize that I am a special snowflake indeed, but since you like Silversun too, and you understand the fact that I wasn't directing my comment at you, you can take the joy of knowing that you are one of the lucky normal people that don't have to try so hard, like the rest of us who choose not to fit into acceptable categories.
@vyqxendenny It's not that society rejects me, it is that I reject society. I won't listen to music just because everyone else in my chemistry class says it is good.
@emphaticleech - Well, That's because this is alternative music, and the alternative to what's popular. And the term normal makes up the popular majority, and most of the majority don't listen to cool bands like Silversun Pickups. They should, but they don't. They're too busy listening to Justin Bieber, Nickelback, or Anything auto-tuned and obviously top 10.
@vyqxendenny what are you talking about? Silversun is pretty close to selling out stadiums. Alternative music is NOT alternative to what's popular. REM is a perfect example. Alternative and popular. And have been for 20 years onward.
The reason why Silversun is playing AOL and MTV unplugged is because they are popular with the majority (which you have called "normal people" ...hm...). These guys aren't unique at all. They're great, but not unique. Smashing Pumpkins + My Bloody Valentine.
@emphaticleech - Depeche Mode have sold out stadiums too, but selling out stadiums doesn't define a majority demand. When you take a good band that just happens to become a success, that doesn't make them in majority demand. It means that many people enjoy their music. Many, DOESN'T mean MOST. The charts speak for themselves. Silversun isn't ruling the majority, because most people tend to follow
@vyqxendenny So what you're saying is, even though a band is selling out stadiums...they're still not popular just because they don't follow trends? So The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Cream, Rush and other bands in the 60s and 70s that were pushing the envelope and weren't falling into "trends" weren't in a majority's demand?
I think you're confusing what teenagers and kids believe is good with the vast majority of people who don't listen to what's "in" right now.
@vyqxendenny And you wanna talk about charts? Panic Switch was number 1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart for a week...know what was on it before? Linkin Park... who are hardly alternative rock.
@emphaticleech- Charts are not calculated every day. They are calculated, every week. Like I said before, yes "Panic Switch", was #1 on the ALT. charts. NOT MAINSTREAM ROCK. Alternative is MORE than just crunchy buzz breakthrough lyrics. The title of Alternative at one time represented what it was created to stand for...The Alternative to mainstream rock & pop.
@vyqxendenny no no. Charts are ALL mainstream. Like I said...Linkin Park was on that chart before Silversun knocked them off. So clearly, it's mainstream. They were also number 4 on the Billboard 200 for a week only beat out by Lady GaGa.
The title of Alternative was at one point, represented to seperate the stuff that wasn't punk rock or rock n' roll or new wave or synth pop at the time to distinguish stuff that would later become post-punk or noise rock from the others.
@emphaticleech - These sub-genre's like synth-pop, new-wave, post-punk, gothic, punk, emo, electro-pop, cold-wave, darkwave ect. They were all under the ALTERNATIVE umbrella in the 80's, because they were NEW, Unique, and most of them were not commercially accepted by mainstream RADIO.
@emphaticleech -MTV played everything. Rock n Roll & Heavy Metal at that time we're enemies of punk. Punk wasn't about chicks or the image of the beast. Kurt Cobain killed true punk for some, and expanded punk for others. The grunge movement is responsible for the marriage of punk, rock and metal and finally destroying the difference between all of them. Marilyn Manson was the final nail in the coffin.
@vyqxendenny Heavy Metal and punk certainly were not enemies. That's why we have thrash. Bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Annihilator, etc etc...all loved bands like the Misfits, X, The Germs, Bad Brains....
@vyqxendenny That's funny considering a lot of people (including metalheads, then and now) considered british punk a more commercial version of the Ramones and Stooges.
@emphaticleech -Yes, dark-wave, cold-wave, new-wave are all considered TRUE alternative. You must be a young child, or musically illiterate if you think different.
@vyqxendenny Alternative is an umbrella term for anything in the underground now? I'm sorry, but bands like My Bloody Valentine, REM, Liquid Nitrogen, Husker Du... all ALTERNATIVE ROCK do not sound anything like darkwave, coldwave, etc. Just because you've never heard of it, doesn't make it alternative.
LOTS of people have never heard of Hank III or Vince Gill. Doesn't mean they're alternative... they're still country. :\
@vyqxendenny That's my point. Just because people haven't heard of someone, doesn't mean they aren't mainstream. Example... Depeche Mode (Who are VERY MAINSTREAM), REM (I know a lot of people who've never heard of them), or yes...Vince Gill.
@emphaticleech -I never once said an alternative band could not be popular. That's why i brought up Depeche Mode. Very popular, but not projected at mainstream audiences, regardless of selling out stadiums. See that's where you were not paying attention.
@vyqxendenny Since when is Depeche Mode alternative rock? I didn't realize New Wave was considered alt rock nowadays. I guess I'll also lump in No Wave, Post rock, Post hardcore, Post punk and all those things in with the alt rock category now.
And if Depeche Mode weren't projected at mainstream audiences...they wouldn't have had videos on MTV and singles on the radio.
@emphaticleech - Depeche Mode didn't get a top 40 hit til 1989. MTV played music around the clock, something you wouldn't know about since you're only 28.
MTV wasn't about mainstream. They played EVERYTHING. What about that don't you understand ? MTV was never about TOP 40 ! Depeche Mode put out albums for 10 years before having a hit, and they were leaders on ALETRNATIVE NATION, and MTV Post-modern. You're not going to find everything in WIKI dude. Get over yourself, you weren't there.
@emphaticleech - Depeche Mode Rocks man, but dude! Dreaming of me wasn't a hit here in the U.S., maybe UK, but not here. And that Vyxen thing posted the charts first. Just because a chart is Billboard, don't make it mainstream. That's why they have charts specified Billboard Mainstream as vyxen said. Billboard alternative is not labeled a mainstream rock chart.
@emphaticleech -REM started out as an alternative band, but immediately became successful
after the music industry switched to full time promotion of alternative music in the late 80's and early 90's. People had become tired of normal, and wanted something new and unique. Rem may sound normal now, but their sound in the late 80's was considered unique, because it was NEW. BTW - Alternative is alternative to what's popular, that's why they call it alternative. lol.
@vyqxendenny That's where you're wrong. Alternative is characterized by the lyrics and crunchy melodies (or dissonance in some cases such as My Bloody Valentine or the Sonic Youth). It's like you're saying punk rock or coldwave is alternative. It's just not true.

what a gay fucking song. guy sounds like a woman. the way he keeps breathing in really heavy before each verse makes me wanna shoot myself!!!!! GAY SONG!!!!!
This song just takes you through a journey or epic proportions. One of the few songs out there that takes you to another world. Gives me chills everytime I hear this song
I say them in concert with MUSE, I always thought the chick was the singer, little did I know, but I nows like the band even more. Plus the dude is quiet funny in between songs. I wish SSPU all the success in the world.

@emphaticleech Despite the fact that you're kind of being a gigantic tool, I see where you're coming from. My local radio station plays Lazy Eye at least once an hour. Either way, get over yourself, I know what IlkenGirth is trying to say, and I think you do, too.

@sightfortheblind Gigantic tool, my ass. He's so high and mighty and thinks nothing good can come out of mainstream music...when he listens to a band that's mainstream. Ignorance gets people nowhere, especially in music

@swampdonkey504 I don't like society, I think the people who get fake tans, starve themselves, get haircuts every week, always are shopping for new clothes to live up to societies standards are the freaks. Not the ones who don't give a shit what they look like, eat all they want, go to sleep whenever they want, and don't care what people think of them (what society calls, freaks)

@TheRagnaroak Getting a haircut is rejecting society? I trim my hair once every couple weeks nowadays to keep the hair out of my eyes and it just looks really good.

@trekker0110 It would be more accurate to say Copernicus was the man who recieved credit for that idea as he had mathematics on his side. Wikipedia...

No..
Galileo did that for a scientific breakthrough. Rejecting society for something like that is completely different than how kids THINK they're rejecting society nowadays. Nobody on this planet is altruistic or actually rejecting some sort of group. Everyone is a part of a group.

@hexagonisaurus - Good for you. If you knew me then you'd realize that I am a special snowflake indeed, but since you like Silversun too, and you understand the fact that I wasn't directing my comment at you, you can take the joy of knowing that you are one of the lucky normal people that don't have to try so hard, like the rest of us who choose not to fit into acceptable categories.

@vyqxendenny How is this band not for normal people?
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech - Well, That's because this is alternative music, and the alternative to what's popular. And the term normal makes up the popular majority, and most of the majority don't listen to cool bands like Silversun Pickups. They should, but they don't. They're too busy listening to Justin Bieber, Nickelback, or Anything auto-tuned and obviously top 10.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny what are you talking about? Silversun is pretty close to selling out stadiums. Alternative music is NOT alternative to what's popular. REM is a perfect example. Alternative and popular. And have been for 20 years onward.
The reason why Silversun is playing AOL and MTV unplugged is because they are popular with the majority (which you have called "normal people" ...hm...). These guys aren't unique at all. They're great, but not unique. Smashing Pumpkins + My Bloody Valentine.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech - Depeche Mode have sold out stadiums too, but selling out stadiums doesn't define a majority demand. When you take a good band that just happens to become a success, that doesn't make them in majority demand. It means that many people enjoy their music. Many, DOESN'T mean MOST. The charts speak for themselves. Silversun isn't ruling the majority, because most people tend to follow
trends.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny So what you're saying is, even though a band is selling out stadiums...they're still not popular just because they don't follow trends? So The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Cream, Rush and other bands in the 60s and 70s that were pushing the envelope and weren't falling into "trends" weren't in a majority's demand?
I think you're confusing what teenagers and kids believe is good with the vast majority of people who don't listen to what's "in" right now.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny And you wanna talk about charts? Panic Switch was number 1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart for a week...know what was on it before? Linkin Park... who are hardly alternative rock.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech- Charts are not calculated every day. They are calculated, every week. Like I said before, yes "Panic Switch", was #1 on the ALT. charts. NOT MAINSTREAM ROCK. Alternative is MORE than just crunchy buzz breakthrough lyrics. The title of Alternative at one time represented what it was created to stand for...The Alternative to mainstream rock & pop.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny no no. Charts are ALL mainstream. Like I said...Linkin Park was on that chart before Silversun knocked them off. So clearly, it's mainstream. They were also number 4 on the Billboard 200 for a week only beat out by Lady GaGa.
The title of Alternative was at one point, represented to seperate the stuff that wasn't punk rock or rock n' roll or new wave or synth pop at the time to distinguish stuff that would later become post-punk or noise rock from the others.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech - These sub-genre's like synth-pop, new-wave, post-punk, gothic, punk, emo, electro-pop, cold-wave, darkwave ect. They were all under the ALTERNATIVE umbrella in the 80's, because they were NEW, Unique, and most of them were not commercially accepted by mainstream RADIO.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny The Cure and REM were on the radio in the early 80s.. So your point is invalid.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech -MTV played everything. Rock n Roll & Heavy Metal at that time we're enemies of punk. Punk wasn't about chicks or the image of the beast. Kurt Cobain killed true punk for some, and expanded punk for others. The grunge movement is responsible for the marriage of punk, rock and metal and finally destroying the difference between all of them. Marilyn Manson was the final nail in the coffin.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny Heavy Metal and punk certainly were not enemies. That's why we have thrash. Bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Annihilator, etc etc...all loved bands like the Misfits, X, The Germs, Bad Brains....
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech -Rock, punk & metal we're not united in the 70's or 80's. Punk's used to call the metalheads a bunch of lowlife burnouts.
Metalheads used to call Punks, a bunch of British influenced f-gz.
Now please learn your history before forming an 28 year old opinion.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny That's funny considering a lot of people (including metalheads, then and now) considered british punk a more commercial version of the Ramones and Stooges.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech -Yes, dark-wave, cold-wave, new-wave are all considered TRUE alternative. You must be a young child, or musically illiterate if you think different.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny Alternative is an umbrella term for anything in the underground now? I'm sorry, but bands like My Bloody Valentine, REM, Liquid Nitrogen, Husker Du... all ALTERNATIVE ROCK do not sound anything like darkwave, coldwave, etc. Just because you've never heard of it, doesn't make it alternative.
LOTS of people have never heard of Hank III or Vince Gill. Doesn't mean they're alternative... they're still country. :\
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech - Lot's of people haven't heard of Vince Gill ? YOU'RE JOKING RIGHT ?? Maybe lot's of kids your age.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny That's my point. Just because people haven't heard of someone, doesn't mean they aren't mainstream. Example... Depeche Mode (Who are VERY MAINSTREAM), REM (I know a lot of people who've never heard of them), or yes...Vince Gill.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech -I never once said an alternative band could not be popular. That's why i brought up Depeche Mode. Very popular, but not projected at mainstream audiences, regardless of selling out stadiums. See that's where you were not paying attention.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny Since when is Depeche Mode alternative rock? I didn't realize New Wave was considered alt rock nowadays. I guess I'll also lump in No Wave, Post rock, Post hardcore, Post punk and all those things in with the alt rock category now.
And if Depeche Mode weren't projected at mainstream audiences...they wouldn't have had videos on MTV and singles on the radio.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech - Depeche Mode didn't get a top 40 hit til 1989. MTV played music around the clock, something you wouldn't know about since you're only 28.
MTV wasn't about mainstream. They played EVERYTHING. What about that don't you understand ? MTV was never about TOP 40 ! Depeche Mode put out albums for 10 years before having a hit, and they were leaders on ALETRNATIVE NATION, and MTV Post-modern. You're not going to find everything in WIKI dude. Get over yourself, you weren't there.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny And before I just start ignoring this idiotic debate...to be fair, Depeche Mode's first charted single was in 1980...Dreaming of Me.
emphaticleech 1 year ago
@emphaticleech - Depeche Mode Rocks man, but dude! Dreaming of me wasn't a hit here in the U.S., maybe UK, but not here. And that Vyxen thing posted the charts first. Just because a chart is Billboard, don't make it mainstream. That's why they have charts specified Billboard Mainstream as vyxen said. Billboard alternative is not labeled a mainstream rock chart.
templeoftherisendead 1 year ago
@emphaticleech -REM started out as an alternative band, but immediately became successful
after the music industry switched to full time promotion of alternative music in the late 80's and early 90's. People had become tired of normal, and wanted something new and unique. Rem may sound normal now, but their sound in the late 80's was considered unique, because it was NEW. BTW - Alternative is alternative to what's popular, that's why they call it alternative. lol.
vyqxendenny 1 year ago
@vyqxendenny That's where you're wrong. Alternative is characterized by the lyrics and crunchy melodies (or dissonance in some cases such as My Bloody Valentine or the Sonic Youth). It's like you're saying punk rock or coldwave is alternative. It's just not true.
