Even Rats - The Slip

[TomAtchleySrA]

one of the best songs of the past 10 years IMO, i wish rock and roll was more like this these days

[phishin76]

one of the top band of musicians of all time in my opinion... so real.... they really pay attention to the music and can inprov like no other... there is still so much jazz underneath i love it.... just start at the gecko

[teco4864]

wow wow wooowww

[teco4864]

brad barr;

[TheJJAAZZZZ]

its baby Jaco!

[HiperElectro17]

waowaowao! :D

[MRVERYUGLY]

great song but needs a new singer

[vanilluv81]

The other night in my backyard a young mouse jumped into my hand to say hello...The rats have been a bit more timid though. They are so large and furry.

I wish people would not put poison out. I keep getting dying rats in my garden from internal bleeding... There are seriously things called "pied pipers" that deter the rats using a low noise they don't like. No more rat poison please people!

Otherwise the birds die from eating poison rodents. Ok, sorry for the rant but I really love rodents.~!

[TbagFM]

Best song on the first guitar hero .

[OliverBush03]

@TbagFM Definetley right about that one!



[Danandvikki1]

[Gontrand00]

[ghbetterthanrb648]

You know this is their song right? It isn't their version of it.

[tylervw]

Original guitar hero. First song I learned to play on expert because it kicked an amazing amount of ass.

[K2BDX]

Great song, found it on Pandora. Talented musicians. 

[almerazdavid]

soo talented! 

[DruidBoyTc0ok]

whats the second mic hes using called?

[MrNavaridas21]

@DruidBoyTc0ok a shure 520DX ''green bullet'', sounds cool with some effects or using a harmonica  :)

[Faulty264]

Are they still together?

[frankiejohson]

@Faulty264 Yes though they have been doing very few shows and concentrating on other projects like Surprise Me Mr. Davis and The Barr Brothers. They are playing in San Francisco at the Cafe Du Nord on December 30th, 2010

[Quimbinator]

[DemascoNY]

[Duxon12]

my favorite part 4:14 - 6:47

[Sherpaa01]

I SAW THEM ON THE AIRPORT IN LISSABON!

[jptravers]

Used to see this band at the Underground at Brown University around 1998. They were more of a jam band back then, but have always displayed extremely high levels of musicianship. Glad to see they're still at it.

[musicalman1995]

love it.. sounds even better live

[Gontrand00]

really love the beat on this one. I prefer this version than the real one.

[NathanaelOctavianus]

Gee...Guitar Hero Song :D

[Faulty264]

it actually sounds very kick ass live, which not all bands are good at doing.

[claudiotiberio9]

very very very good !!!

[o0debs]

i started playing this song in guitar hero and i started playing it again and again and again and thats how i started liking this song......ps great song!!!!!!!!

[gatoradeee]

[kitovich]

[trailbikerharo]

wow this song came on my sanza mp3 player. and i love it. but his voice dont carry live like it does recorded. . oh well good performance.

[IisOtaku]

What was that at 0:21 ?

[dpink59]

You should listen to more of the Slip then. They have way more gnarly stuff than this, and whats played on guitar hero. From the Gecko might be one of the best albums of the past twenty years

[lesliebuttercup]

this is my most favorite song of guitar hero even rats is the most cutest and greatest and the best song ever that i`v never heard before.

[liamsnorthstar]

[mrsourcream]

This is what music should sound like... bring back the 90's and early 00's alternative scene.!

[TheHodge21]

[Zachhay11]

[drunknboxing7619]

[11111lololol11111]

What's that box that it looks like he's using to pluck the string???

[call3328]

i think its a tape recorder that plays a message that gets picked up on his pick-ups

[JFan12]

it's a tool that makes your strings vibrate.

[Koivu321]

i first listened to this song on guitar Hero 1 , and i gotta say its one of my favorite song today and my favorite song in Guitar hero

[triviumwarcry]

[elcacto123]

[xXxXx6Bella6xXxXx]

This is my favourite song from GH1. I absolutely love it. playing it listening to it everything.

[xJohnMarkx]

Guitar hero actually has real music though and show's a lot of people who don't know what it is is! And helps them like it ;).

[showjumper44]

[isafos]

Unfortunately this song's lyrics are done far better in Guitar Hero. :(

Shame, because I love the song. His voice is really unsteady and strange in this.

[circosess]

Agree...the guitar hero version...waaaaaaaaaay better.

[iamguitargod666]

am I high i feel like im in the 70's

[isafos]

You weren't alive in the seventies, don't kid. It wasn't the colossal party you think it was.

[circosess]

Ha, I'm a 00's kid i guess, I bet I will fantasize that todays' time were the great, and all reallity was not at it seems.

[xXxDragonGregXxX]

This Song Relaxes Me

You?

[cobes89]

Oh yea, this song brings me back to the past somehow and I look upon my childhood. These types of songs do that to me.

[xXxDragonGregXxX]

Thats Cool Man

[itstristanyo]

Such a chill song

[jptravers]

I was going to Slip shows ten years ago in college in Providence, RI -- they've changed a lot but still such a high level of musicianship.

[LatinAngel4ever]

I So Totally Looove This Song.

[Savvyraez]

Amazing song. It's rare to find such talent in todays society.

[daundeadrocky]

[nuck81]

[XxRhsHogsxX361]

[ShootRunHide]

Boston, California?

[XxRhsHogsxX361]

im saying that cause there really isnt bands like this anymore

[bonk18bonk]

[ShaveYourBoots]

listen to the verge on xm/sirius

[MontyAreIFC]

As said by others, they're from Boston, MA.

[GZA1983]

I used to play this track on guitar hero over and over! one of my fav tracks to play.

[dbgdgd]

anybody knows where i can find these guys discography?? I'm going crazy because this is the only song i can download

[spikedoutproduction]

You can download some of their songs from emusic.c o m It's like two song for a dollar.

Or you can get an audio downloader that downloads audio from youtube videos.lol

[pt004]

its on eisenhower. I bought the album at my local coconuts (nw fye)

[dbgdgd]

thank you, now i have it!! :D

[spikedoutproduction]

They have like the best Bass player

[catstrut713]

this wuz my favy bonus song from Guitar hero...

[strogonaff]

mine too = )

[budbadbig]

This song is amazing. It is a perfect mix of rock and chill-out, if thats possible lol

[GuitarHeroAzzKicker]

i got %100 on guitar hero on this song yesterday

[battleon4185]

Very nice and relaxing, KEEP IT UP!

[ewhitney76]

Modern day Mozart. These artists don't follow conventional muscial expression. These talented artists have learned how to identify developing swells and ride the waves of music that carry them & not the other way around. Bravo!

[MadameeGxo]

Mann I Lovee thiss songg ,, you guys rock

[Mahaney82]

I hate to say that I fell in love with this song way back when GH came out. But thank god it was on there so I could be exposed to it somehow. I love this song.

[Gontrand00]

Really love the beginning. I could imagine this song at the end of a movie.

[ragamuff55]

this song is amazing

[theguitarhero798]

i love this song nice

[DougyWuggy]

he kinda sings just a lil bit bad but still awesome 5/5

[soxpatsphan]

His voice is part of what gives them that unique sound. If he sang with a different band, I'm not sure I'd like it.

[angelx1694]

lovely ;D Getting better at this song on GH.

[robertplutt]

SWEET!

[jeffreynerohardyv2]

<3 ]D

[kiirochanz]

oh man...

i love this SONG !!!! :)

[Iheartjonas852]

haha i love playing this song on guitar hero !

[xJohnMarkx]

I love this song, because its always played good on the CD and live this band is just amazing.

[xcardboardbox]

ya gotta love the ending this song rocks =]

[CoandCaSSTB]

Such awesome music.

the intro is just fantastic, not to take away from the whole song, but i melt during the intro.

[phatstud55]

me too man why isn't this in the studio song?

[Jimbomiles]

Amazing song. I wish I could write stuff like this.

[phatstud55]

just mess around in the key of G. That's the key this song is in. If you've played sweet home alabama the chords are almost the same.

[xLostInTransit]

Not being satisfied simply trashing other people's taste, some people have resorted to attacking where people hear new music from.

That's what is sad. Not that I was introduced to Eric Johnson, Muse, and others by the Guitar Hero games, but that they care so much where I heard of them.

Get a life people.

-Also, I love this song :)

[CoandCaSSTB]

Agreed, im sure those groups (Eric Johnson, Muse, and others) would not have wanted their songs in Guitar Hero if they didnt plan on people being introduced to them through it.

And you're right it doesnt matter where you heard the music from

Just enjoy it and let it be an escape, like its meant to be.

Thats why i dislike so much of today's music that's about being angry all of the time or whatever.

Songs like this remind me of what good music really is, music that makes you feel good

[ewhitney76]

You nailed it! This music makes you feel good. And that's what music is all about: providing humans a mode of communication that surpasses conventional methods; music communicates thru feelings, and The Slip are excellent communicaters via this medium!

[sweetnessonice]

Holy crap, that's the bass at the beginning?

[SolMaster]

Yeah, it's all on bass. Regular bass notes with harmonics (the higher notes you're hearing).

[chokosaki]

i love this song :)

[wll1986d]

love it

[booboobumkins]

amazing song xx

[johnnytitelipps]

Very very good song and singing.

[trevonturner]

lmao it was default on my mp3 also, but i knew it b4 that

[gocubsgo7]

good stuff

[frigidinjun]

the thing that he holds over his strings at the beginning is a hand held tape recorder that the amp is picking up

[LiteGrenadz]

reminds me of coldplay, the guitar
