Blackfield - Pain

[DeathReserve]

For those who hate, those who defend with curse words, for those with opinions, and for those without. Steven Wilson and Aviv, religious or not, gay or strait. These types of songs are written because of all of you. Just so you all know.

[einnatar]

just.. marvelous

[o0LanternLight0o]

Steven Wilson and Aviv geffen sound so great singing together, man i live in kettering ohio, the came to cleveland ohio but it was a 6 hour trip, little much for me to try and do, not enough money. However I’m beginning to question if I was right to just skip it.

[BrianKnop]

Play this song in honor of Steven Wilson, because he lost his father today. Thanks for all your amazing music.

[Fikmonskov]

I was the happiest man in the world before listening to that... Now I feel strangely sad, and I don't know why...

I'll never listen to Blackfield while being sad, this would be terrible.

[Shalshelan]

Steven Wilson is the only non-jewish in this groupe all the musician and the co-singer (Aviv geffen) are jews from Israel. you guys make no sense with your hate against jews, you just envy their success and influence in this world. Jews are so successfull people thank to their unique education from generation to the next and not because god help them.

[AllHailThaKing]

@Shalshelan +1 took the words from me

[rlevanony]

About antisemitism - whenever is person is that stupid it's just so sad, some people should just get a fucking life just to prevent the pain from others.

[pupskaka]

2 awesome musicians !!!

... GODLIKE

[chuckl3s]

i've seen them in munich yesterday. the drummer looks like a fish making bubbles when playing - but he's playing awesome :D

[TraySoundAlchemist]

Mate, there is no real distinction of what is required and what is not, it has no place in such things like music.....just accept the way he decides to show himself, and enjoy the music! :-)

[NomanBassDemon]

the guy has glitters on his eyelashes :/

[TraySoundAlchemist]

@NomanBassDemon So what? Does it compromise his ability to make us feel great emotions?

[NomanBassDemon]

@TraySoundAlchemist it doesn't. he's very talented, hence IMO using cosmetics is not required. it just looks weird

[BeefcakeMoney]

@NomanBassDemon And KISS wore makeup and looked like mimes? Your point?

[goofygirly2010]

Seems to me that Steven is very Spiritual, Religion is man's creation. Believing In God and/or being a follower of Christ does not make you religous, it is a spiritual connection with your Creator. Just my opinion!

[TheCoreQueen]

Just enjoy the music and STFU dammit!

[samfraihat1]

i'm Palestinian but why the fuck should i care what shit they believe in!? good music has no religion, its a religion on its own besides have you ever heard em insult other people or beliefs? if you hate this band just vote down and fuck off no1 cares what your immature incomplete mind thinks

[paralyzing89]

hard to believe that some dumbass was hating on aviv... for being jewish nonetheless... wtf. maybe one day the world will be free from mindless assholes.

[bobpower]

its in your head ZOMBIE ZOMBIE ZOMBAYAYAYY!!!! haha

great song though

[laetitiaandmike]

Love x10000000000000000000000000000­00000000000

[TheArashakbari]

I'm so sorry for those people who do not know peace, love, music.........for those who care about race,nationality,religious and all these fucking things which exist only for these idiots.........we are all human.....and we are all the same because we all have hearts emotions and we all can enjoy life......this is a great music and the only thing is to enjoy it..............

[miniqwang]

i love this song :) but why does arviv paint his eyes thats a little gay

[MissMetalchick]

@miniqwang He is actually a gay,he is with Steven lol

[killercreek450]

i love this band but whats up with the sheep blehs!

[dlkrdlkr]

@killercreek450 well...aviv is good but he is like : While I'm melting in the (Raii-i-i--i-i-i-i-i-n) see? O_o

But he is still good xD

[Anguis79]

Aviv sings of the unjustice in his country Israel among other things. Blackfield - one of my favorite bands.

[TheBlackycat]

The more I listen to Steve Wilson and see what he does with other artists, the more he reminds me of Todd Rundgren back in the day when Todd played all sorts of styles and produced albums for many artists. I also think Aviv's voice contrasts very nicely with Steve's. It adds a really nice touch.

[MARINAnaf93]

I had the luck to listen to Aviv Geffen live a couple of days ago :)his voice is really amazing..and it fits the songs he sings.He's a unique artist .

[thefoosa72]

Blackfield would be nowhere without Steven Wilson.

[edthehead83]

@thefoosa72 That's not true. Aviv is an Israeli, MEGASTAR.

[andyczapl]

BLACKFIELD rules !!!

[gsrgod]

so pop-like. I prefer the darker side of Steven Wilson in PT

[ScorpionFl0wer]

BlackField is perfect.....

[crazycuddlyjesus]

wow in two years this has only gotten 20 thousand views? what a shame.

[jairomaster]

Really, what a shame. But let's face it: Blackfield is for people with good taste of music. So, unfortunately... it's not for everyone in the world...

[BrotherGilburt]

@jairomaster lol! :P

[metalkuronodud]

lol goat. I love this song though

[rthavi2]

love this fuckin song. their first album was spectacular.

[walkerunner]

BABICZ FOR THE WIN

[AkilesJose]

Those guitars sound superb :P

I don't have one, but I've seen videos of J. Wesley performing live with those guitars (There's a live performance of Lazarus, i think).

BTW, Geffen and Wilson are awesome.

[bobtherelevator]

sounds like the dude from placebo lol

[Mepamper]

Blackfield is a collaboratory musical group between Porcupine Tree founder and lead singer Steven Wilson and rock singer Aviv Geffen

[Vasouliza]

who knows what he has taken...his voice is shaking!

[djbethell]

That's his style.

[reviewsnest]

@Vasouliza His voice is ALWAYS this way.

In an early interview (pre Blackfield) he said something like "I sing like shit - but I sing my own songs better than anyone else"

[kornkrop1]

i think avivs voice is good for the song.

also, if steven sang the begginning itd remind me ofthe third part of anesthetize

[brh231]

Jewish or not, Steven Wilson has a better voice and i wish he sang more of this song

[NostalgicProcrast]

@brh231 Avivs voice fits this perfect for what he's singing. Stevens backingvocals makes it a perfect blend.

[SacredSerenity]

omg fuck off you antisemitic pieces of shit, who cares about their race or creed or sexual orientation, great music knows no race or religion, pull the dick out of your ass and listen to the music.

[harmony0404]

"... great music knows no race or religion, pull the dick out of your ass and listen to the music. ..."

RESPECT TO YOU !!!!

[JezenThomas]

I agree with you, however do you not think the "pull the dick out of your ass" part made you sound a bit hypocritical, since you claimed that nobody cares about sexual orientation?

[SacredSerenity]

It had nothing to do with sexual orientation, but more to do about them being so reluctant to like the music just because of Aviv's ethnicity/religion. It was not intended to gay bash, it's more synonymous with "stop bitching."

[PuReNiRvANA1]

@SacredSerenity well put!

[Anguis79]

@SacredSerenity

Ok, I just looked at all the coments. Where are the anitsemitic ones??

[rathymus]

Stupid people... You care if one is Jew or not... Just listen to the music... Idiots

[dlkrdlkr]

@rathymus Exactly!!!~ but just a question is wilson jewish too?

[edthehead83]

@dlkrdlkr Wilson is an atheist.

[dlkrdlkr]

@edthehead83 WTF LOL...seriously dude...

how did u knw??

[edthehead83]

@dlkrdlkr There is an interview somewhere where he said that he read Dawkins' "God Delusion," and said that he agreed with pretty much everything he wrote.

[dlkrdlkr]

@edthehead83 oh ok thx dude but i think it's not cool to be an athiest xD he looks jewish though xD

[edthehead83]

@dlkrdlkr Well then I guess that makes you intolerant. He looks like a person to me.

[dlkrdlkr]

@edthehead83 umm jewish ppl aren't animals lol :D

[edthehead83]

@dlkrdlkr It seems to me that you think less of Wilson for not being religious ("it's not cool to be an atheist"). If that is how you feel, then you are intolerant. And also you may as well insult me because I too am an atheist. I never said anything negative about Jews. Jewish people are cool in my book. I even enjoy volunteering at my JCC.

[dlkrdlkr]

@edthehead83 LMAO first of all idc cuz I AM NOT JEWISH!!!

plus what book i thought athiests dun believe in gods and stuff, i am not insulting anyone here dude :D

[oxytrebor]

that dumb ass jew can't even pronounce the word 'with' and 'devil' ....what a joke , what a joke , you're right dumb heab

[oxytrebor]

why and i am asking again , why , KEEP THAT JEW FAGGOT ??? he aint nothing but a no talent , Steven could do all the instruments plus vocals alone .....shit sucks

[asafshay1980]

just for the record, steven wilson is the only non israeli, non jewish in this band. check out their names at the end of the live dvd show in ny if you dont belive

[Deadwing1107]

Blackfield is such a GREAT BAND and Steven is a God at creating music...there are few guys that can be so prolific at making these kind of songs, sad, but beautiful

[Zusik12900]

Steven doesnt have anything to do with this song, it's Aviv's he wrote the entire thing, so before anyone disses Aviv on being a jew etc., I'm an Israeli and this is the kind of musical excellency that comes from our country

[jonaj222]

אביב גפן וסטיבן וילסון הענקים!

השיר הזה עושה לי כל כך צמרמורת שזה מדהים, אין יותר מרגש מהשיר הזה, ועם כל ההרמוניה בפזמון בכלל מתחילים לבכות!

[nanmilla]

I saw them yesterday night in a small club in Munich and i gotta say it was awesome. It's a shame that Aviv is not that well know here. Both Steven and Aviv are fullblooded musicians, it can't get any better. I loved the atmosphere and the whole band was fantastic, i think i need to buy the DVD.

[qwertyass215]

ok i really like blackfield....i love steven wilson and pt. But avivs voice live really gets to me. I hate how it cracks up at the end of every line.....ive tried so hard to like it (his live voice) but i just cant. Am i the only one or are other people bothered by it? SW on the other hand sings so awesome live.

[Slunk32]

I completely agree

[Sabotaje]

same here

[nmartialis]

Absolutely right!!! I agreee....

[HDL2112]

Im a huge pt fan and the first time I heard Blackfield, i was not too impressed, but it really grows on you. incredible music..

[EvilSammie]

This Is 1 Of My Favourite Blackfield Songs!

I Do Prefer Blackfield II Album Though Hehe

<3 xxx

[JelteRocks]

I like the Broken voice of avive in this number, buts its just a fact, Steven Wilson owns him hard! and Porcupine rocks ;)

[angryparrot]

It's actually kind of grown on me a bit. I mean, he's got nothing on Steven, but he's ok.

[Drumtome]

I really hate that paki's voice...don't know his name but fuck.

[jmrocker]

His name's Aviv something or other I think.

[otacon12]

Aviv Geffen

[Zusik12900]

paki? fuck you he's Israeli

[yumeN0dengon]

Well, aviv didn't f*ck the vocals up for once :P

But too bad steven did f*ck up the climax with such an appropriate guitar sound in the ending solo.

Great vid thoug :D

[munday20]

what are you talking about? Steve Wilson did not fuck up once. You are CRAZY!! Ha.

[yumeN0dengon]

How about you read what I actually typed ?

I'm talking about the guitare sound, not the performance (which is great). He didn't mess up the song, I'm just saying it would've been much better with the sole overdrive solo.

But then again that's just my opinion.
