Shit, I forgot that all of you were professional musicians playing the music to satisfy all the ears of the world. Before you guys post something terribly ignorant, please go out and pursue a dream of yours instead of wasting your time being the #1 youtube critic.
If you think this is mindless and talentless, try to recreate it. You probably couldn't even hum their song, let alone remember the notes of it. Who cares if it's dissonant? Doesn't mean it's not music. A minor second is still a harmony. As is a Tritone. Saying this is "easy" music is clueless and ignorant, as the fact is that some of these riffs are in 9 note scales and it's definitly not just random note choices. The sweeps lay with the rythm, they bring back old rythms. You're assholes.
@RebornThroughHate "all this shit is easy to play"? Dude, you're either a musical genius or you're totally clueless. It must be the latter since it's obvious you don't understand a thing about what they're playing. There is definitely structure in this music, but unless you take the effort to get to know the music you'll never know.

This is the kind of band one should laugh at, except that there will always be a group of young-ins and wanna-be musicians who become impressed with complete noise as long as it features a large number of notes. All this shit is easy to play, BTW. Bassist looks like an idiot with that haircut.
It's only noise if you don't understand what's going on. There's a methodology behind the sounds; go see Slayer or Six Feet Under if you want candy metal.
@PretentiousProducts i wouldnt call a legendary metal band like slayer "candy metal" i mean of course none of those dudes come close to the musicianship of these guys but i dont really think its fair to compare a band like slayer and a band like bta.. their both great bands.. never heard of six feet below so i cant comment on them
@whitewalls1222 right on, but i was just getting at the point that the majority of people who listen to "mainstream extreme metal"(never thought it would exist,but look at bam magera and other hollyweird tools who advertise the "hardcore stuff")are just as ignorant towards bands like bta as pop fans are:it's an increasing epidemic of "easy listening __"(insert any genre).Like with most any art, if it has too much to think about, it becomes work instead of entertainment for most to listen to.
also, yes, slayer are legendary for what they started doing, but now they're just creating a product for teenage consumption,and it's painfully obvious.they're capable of greatness/imagination beyond what they've shown(just look at lombardo's work in fantomas or on the cremaster 2 strk), and it's just sad to see them churning out practically radio-friendly hard rock(by today's standards)meant for angsty teens when they could be still breaking barriers and reinventing metal.
@PorcupineFloyd68 Art can entertain, I agree; when you think of "art" there's usually a certain extra depth to it that material meant just as pop culture mass consumption units never reaches. It's like putting John Zorn next to Lady Gaga.
I think i know why BTA videos have so many dislikes now. People watch them and try to hit the like button, but their minds are blown by the amazingness of this band so they accidently miss and hit the dislike button.
@Wotenkeld Artsy hippies? Oh wait... okay you got me there, but the audience whoops and claps and shit between songs. Sounds like they are emjoying it to me. Most people who like them listen to it for its technicality, I don't, i just think it sounds fucking awesome.
@Wotenkeld yeah and you should have seen the audience when judas preist opened for reo speedwagon back in the day.. people had the same reaction.. "wtf is this crazy shit, i have no clue what is going on" i mean the reason you dont like bta is the same reason my grandparents hate led zeppelin.. ignorance.. go suck on a exhaust pipe you fucking moron.. its called evolution buddy.. some musicians actually feel like being artists not just rehashing the same thing you've heard 100000 times before..
@bobbycamp101 your generation is so fucking pathetic.. go listen to fucking attack attack or whatever stupid mind numbing bullshit you kiddies are into these days
Yeah, but he's not playing basslines constantly, he switches from the bass side of the neck to the guitar side. I notice sometimes that he'll switch over to a bassline, and that's when the music starts to grab me, but this is kind of reminiscent of King Crimson's Thrakkatak. Music doesn't really grab me without a solid timekeeper.
I think it would make no sense because if you played a bass to their music it would be really intense to. Playing like Pete Wentz and Mikey Way would just be an obnoxious *dum dum dum dum dum dum* behind the *doodoodooDUMDUM DUMMMMMMM dododo...... DUNUHUHUHUH!!! dum dum dumdumdum DUUUUUUUUUUH!!!!!*
Right, but it would be different to someone who has a sense of rhythm. Pete Wentz does not, he just spins around and follows the guitar. To someone with a better grasp of harmony, complexity and rhythm, the Stick would probably be played much differently.
Well, anyway what I'm trying to say, is that your asking for a solid rhythm in a band that's rhythm is everywhere, but at the same time wanting that solid rhythm to be less solid. It's confusing me, it feels like your asking for your cranberry juice to be orange juice but still be cranberry juice. Unless you could explain to me better.
Well, it would only be a solid rhythm if the bassist was playing quarter or eighth notes. Having a bass player playing time would make the music more polyrythmic, for example, you could look up and of Gentle Giant's early works. While not as note-saturated, the bass, guitar, vocals and keys did things independent of each other, even to the point of playing in different time signatures sometimes. As long as the bass and the drums stay togethr, the guitars can do pretty much whatever they want.
Not really saying that it's better, just saying that in addition, it would thicken the sound a little bit. The Warr guitar in this song is not playing bass notes all of the time, so the bottom end would be nailed down a little more.
Guitar Wankery? Try playing this. It's as complex as anything. You can't rule this out just because YOU don't like it. And stop talking for other people. You don't know what Miles Davis likes, and, frankly, what he likes really does not matter. I don't even know what your point was suppose to be? You don't like this music, therefore it's not complex and it's not good? Great logic, it's as clear as day.
Lol, chill out man, I wasn't trying to be logical It's just my opinion. "Logically" (Technically) these guys are probably doing some amazing stuff. But as musical appreciation, I think they sound like shit frankly. I can't make any apologies, thats really how I feel =/
Oh and the Miles Davis thing. He's known for making "out of the box" music, especially after Bitches Brew. I was trying to jokingly point out that even someone with an eccentric taste like Miles would find this hard to understand
Actually, you are welcome to talk for me. Complex and good are not related. Complex equals complex. Good equals good.
To each his own, but to me, music is not a sport. This just gives me the same feeling of looking at a really complex crossword puzzle that someone did: "Wow, what a lot of work. Hmm. OK, good for you, crossword puzzle guy." To each his own.
I like thes guys because it not just the same old stuff. It's creative. It to me is a new type of music and some people who dislike it should try listening from a different perspective.
people interested in this or at least open to it and truly love chaotic, technical metal, complexe arrangements, frequent changes, I suggest listening to the album versions of their music. I was amazed in fact, what they've done is beautiful
the live videos on youtube of them don't sound good
If you guys could only understand that they play their own fucking style and they are damn good at it, this song sounds like this everytime they fucking play it...
Music is about variety not about being the best (although, that said its also about not sucking and being above a certain basic level, not neccesarily virtuoso though.)
The music isn't exactly pleasing to listen to, but if you do listen to it you can clearly see how complicated and incredible their composition skills are. They warr guitarist is INSANE
I find this music good, not because of the sound it makes, but the fact that it's all very structured. If you listen to the studio recording of this, it's almost identical to what they play live, save for the few errors that just about every musician makes when playing live
hahaa why comment if you simply do not at all understand what they're doing? it's avant-garde metal, it's not supposed to be ultra melodic and cookie cutter. get a clue.
dude do you know how long it would take a person to lern to play bass like that guy does? fucking years and years, like the bass in this song is like way more complicated than lets say cannibal corpse
well you took a snippet of the full line "all 4/4 time with hugely obvious hooks and riffs driving linear grooves and rythyms"
which puts it more into context
yes you can make some fast choppy and technical 4/4 stuff, but as the full line says, it's talking more about the common licks and riffs used in popular songs
i'm sure when rockabilly and gospel and blue sand all that suddenly collided and made something new and weird, people had these same kinds of reactions
Great! I love this band.For those who posted bad comments about them : doing that,you demonstrate your musical ignorance.If you are not able to understand this music,just pass by.
youre not comprehending, while being simple as fuck, the necessity of keeping a fucking beat no matter how fucking complicated a song is. im that the guitarist wasnt supposed to always miss the 1th beat.
1th? are you a fucking retard? 1st you jackass!! If your going to pretend know anything about anything you need to speak correctly! and this band is awesome!
This is horrible. It really has no aural value whatsoever. Sure it deviates from the conventional progressions and composition of songs, that doesn't mean that it's high quality. I have seen bands experiment and toss out "chorus, verse, bridge" format while actually making beautiful and powerful music (listen to Mogwai). This is technically impressive noise, not much else. You're entitled to your own opinions, but it just seems so pretentious.
Fuck this band. "technical" or "mathcore" does not mean that it's too complex to understand. Anyone who says that is an elitist asshole. They use terms like that as an excuse to play shitty, unlistenable noise like these confused asshats. Yeah, they have skill, but they don't apply it to compose SONGS. They just toss around random measures and time signatures and call it "technical".
And while you rant and rave like some angst-ridden mongoloid on YouTube about BTA, others are listening to them and easily hearing the song which apparently is "unlistenable noise" to dolts who simply fail to see the charm in this music.
This is no different then why some claim Black Metal isn't talented or not real music; when in actuality it's more so music than anything else out there.
Just because it doesnt have a catchy repeatable hook doesnt mean its not a song.
Chromatic scales are half-tone scales and as such contain all twelve tones. Mixolydian scales are major scales with a dominant 7th. I know this, and yet the music continues to suck.
fuck. i love these guys, and i never realised they were just a 3 piece band. check out sensory amusia, or exospacial psionic aura.
it really is an acquired taste. dont get me wrong, i love songs with a melody and a sense of stability, but this shows how u can push the boundaries. no different to free jazz really. except that these songs are written. man i want to give up now...
its definetly not music for the masses but music none the less- respect

hahaa why comment if you simply do not at all understand what they're doing? it's avant-garde metal, it's not supposed to be ultra melodic and cookie cutter. get a clue.

dude do you know how long it would take a person to lern to play bass like that guy does? fucking years and years, like the bass in this song is like way more complicated than lets say cannibal corpse
ThroneOfTheWolves 3 years ago
but there are many people who can play that thing, and better, well at least in their genre. these guys have a very specific genre.

who cares how hard it is to play, it sounds like fucking random noise, no creativity at all.
warchamp 3 years ago
I know, but I wanted to try to be respectful. It's hard to do here....
quaz18 3 years ago
random noise, why? because it's not all 4/4 time with hugely obvious hooks and riffs driving linear grooves and rythyms?
sure the tone of their guitars isn't soft, it's harsh, powerful, hence it's called metal.
fact is, if you don't like it, doesn't mean it sucks, art is to be interpreted by each
Frejborg 2 years ago 22
Precisely. People say my music is just random and out of place... But that's only because they cannot wrap their 4/4 driven minds around it.
MyEggIsBoiled 2 years ago 3
4/4 can be just as complicated and technical as all sorts of compound meters. The black page for example
mikemip2005 2 years ago
well you took a snippet of the full line "all 4/4 time with hugely obvious hooks and riffs driving linear grooves and rythyms"
which puts it more into context
yes you can make some fast choppy and technical 4/4 stuff, but as the full line says, it's talking more about the common licks and riffs used in popular songs
Frejborg 2 years ago
Look what Danny Carey does to 4/4 with just opening the high-hat. He makes beats sound very complex
Reapzor12 2 years ago
that's not a bass, 1. and cannibal corpse is more complicated than you think. making ignorant comments just makes you look like a fucking dick.

devilslefthandman69 3 years ago
no see thats the problem, its all rhythm and no melodic value.
quaz18 3 years ago
or perhaps you havent considered they have no rythmical value that your brain understands.
Azgoltzolxith 3 years ago
that's really not true.
the rythms, patterns and little grooves, are subtle and complex and quickly change
they've done something different, and their music paints a picture. kind of.. tells a story.

i dont care if hes good at bass its shit music
b3nnehboi 3 years ago
to correct youguys, its a warr guitar, not really a bass...
and its not that hard to play.
I have only played one 3 times, but if someone came up to me and told me to play something like this, i probably can.
ErikVilardo 3 years ago
i REALLY want to like this band. but i don't care for it. they are way too sloppy to be tech metal. if they can refine their style, then i'll dig it.

youre not comprehending, while being simple as fuck, the necessity of keeping a fucking beat no matter how fucking complicated a song is. im that the guitarist wasnt supposed to always miss the 1th beat.

This is horrible. It really has no aural value whatsoever. Sure it deviates from the conventional progressions and composition of songs, that doesn't mean that it's high quality. I have seen bands experiment and toss out "chorus, verse, bridge" format while actually making beautiful and powerful music (listen to Mogwai). This is technically impressive noise, not much else. You're entitled to your own opinions, but it just seems so pretentious.
ClumsyPandaProduct 3 years ago
Fuck this band. "technical" or "mathcore" does not mean that it's too complex to understand. Anyone who says that is an elitist asshole. They use terms like that as an excuse to play shitty, unlistenable noise like these confused asshats. Yeah, they have skill, but they don't apply it to compose SONGS. They just toss around random measures and time signatures and call it "technical".
teamgod 3 years ago
haha, you play guitar hero. Your opinion is automatically invalid. Fuck off kid.
XxSconeManxX 3 years ago
And while you rant and rave like some angst-ridden mongoloid on YouTube about BTA, others are listening to them and easily hearing the song which apparently is "unlistenable noise" to dolts who simply fail to see the charm in this music.
This is no different then why some claim Black Metal isn't talented or not real music; when in actuality it's more so music than anything else out there.
Just because it doesnt have a catchy repeatable hook doesnt mean its not a song.
This isnt random at all.

Technical skill =/= good. Usually the whole point of an instrument is to, idk, make music.
Please note--that would be music, not just noise.

Fragster777 3 years ago
Chromatic scales are half-tone scales and as such contain all twelve tones. Mixolydian scales are major scales with a dominant 7th. I know this, and yet the music continues to suck.

No, it doesn't suck. You just don't like the music. Learn the difference between your opinion and the universal truth.

fuck. i love these guys, and i never realised they were just a 3 piece band. check out sensory amusia, or exospacial psionic aura.
it really is an acquired taste. dont get me wrong, i love songs with a melody and a sense of stability, but this shows how u can push the boundaries. no different to free jazz really. except that these songs are written. man i want to give up now...
