Helix Nebula - Anamanaguchi Live at PAX East 3/26/10

[cheeseamin92]

no offence but wow........ they look like nerds

[societysheretic]

this isnt the video i thought it was. this is, idk wat to say. horrible on a very very dark level

[RevelationsEagle]

I was there :D

[cadmus98]

Their sound is good. They need a vocalist if they're going to be a rock band though; that style really needs a charismatic frontman.

[Gabrol]

they should use another guy for the band to play synth :|

[parkxi]

YEAHH that guy on the left is wearing sambas.

[nahhchill]

worst

crowd

ever

[rjb29uk]

What a dull crowd, don't they know that that's the TalkRadar theme!

[MrDrumzOrz]

The greatest nerds ever.

[Arramis67]

I cant wait to see what they do to a 3ds

[leechie87]

If i was at this concert, i would be in front jumping and trashing hipsters

[genjutsugaara]

How do they make the chiptune sound?

[4fromK]

@genjutsugaara they have a nes.

[The730Days]

@genjutsugaara Its more that just a NES, Its a hacked NES that they take the sound from, and they also use a Gameboy with a Pitch Mod Knob on it. If you Google 'Thretris', I found the website of the guy who made there stuff, and you can pay him to add the Pitch Mod Knob and he does custom paint jobs.. And if you dont want to play $120 for that, you can can buy the Knob its self and install it yourself.. And to make the tunes, Gameboy Camera is what most people use. :)

[larfingshnew]

What? they don't have booze at these things? nobody in the audience looks like they're havin fun at all!

[JosephGraysure]

Tdards unite!

[infernalslayer]

THE CROWD BLOWS. when i listen to tihs song in my room i go nuts playing the air drums

[8RingsStudios]

TALKRADAR WAS THERE. OMG I FOUND THIS SONG VIA TALKRADAR!!!!

[700PurpleYoshi]

No way, this was on my birthday!

[lagim214]

Wish they play the lead live too..

[LakeofJordan]

They need a better light show. other than that pretty gnar.

[atoman9865]

TalkRADAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MXHeRoE1]

@atoman9865 FUCK YEAHH TALK RADAR!!!!

[Sazmunky]

thinking about it they should play a recording of the guitars and thrash about behind a laptop or something....

i mean, ANYTHING would do....

free glowsticks...?

[Sazmunky]

god they look so boring live...

i like how the guy on hte left is trying to maintain spirit :)

still, great music :)

[ploopyism]

@Sazmunky They're playing great, but the audience aren't giving them anything to look too entheusiastic about. It's like playing rock to a room full of aristocrats.

[serbwithblade]

@ploopyism Idk, I don't think this music really works live. I'm always super bored without words to sing-along with.

[SketchHurricane]

@serbwithblade Depends on the venue and the crowd I guess. I saw them live in a small pub, and people were going crazy, moshing, stage diving, and everything.

[workingclassbum]

I'm quite surprised they don't have at least one guy on some decks.

[Naota10]

These guys don't have a whole lot of stage presence, but I still like Helix Nebula

[reccaoconnor]

Damn... when I heard this I was really hoping that the NES parts were played on guitar with a moog synth or something. I'm so disappointed :(

Oh well, it'll be fun as hell figuring out how to play that on guitar.

[Centribo]

@reccaoconnor

do you even know how they make their music?

[reccaoconnor]

@Centribo Yeah, I do now. That's what was so disappointing to me. Without the NES they're just a bland pop punk band. It's like a good singer with a shitty band behind him. So, while the geek in me loves what they've done, the musician in me can't take them seriously. However, they got me into the chiptune scene, and I appreciate that greatly. I've since learned how to use lsdj for the game boy, and hopefully I'll have some songs to upload soon, with a much greater emphasis on the guitar.

[Centribo]

@reccaoconnor

Chiptune music is awesome, you should check out 8 bit people (gooole them and click on discography)

they have a crap load of free chiptune music if you want.

[XRasenX]

@reccaoconnor The NES' Melodies aren't composed by magic, man.

[MrTweetums1]

that is the best that Gibson is ever gonna sound 8-D

[nmbrox123]

they were amazing live

[misspez]

looking and sounding awesome guys! Let me know when you come towards Ohio!

[grapenutsrbt]

[Flup0x]

I've got Mermaid and then their Encore Dawn Metropolis uploading as well

[MadLarkin1026]
