Merzbow live at the No Fun Fest 2007 1/2

[rydubz7]

I love mariah Carey.I showed my girlfriends this and they were like OMG thats such a great song . One of my girlfriends wananda Say's this is my song and she dances and shakes her booty . One night night after going to a coldplay concert we were discussing the implications of IIlya Prigogines work on the 2nd law of thermodynamics and this came on the local RNB radio show and Wananda got so exited she pulled down the window and pooped out the car ,it landed on a cockroach and we were like OMG .

[WhatTehFux]

What is this shit.

[sorethroat91]

@WhatTehFux

Awesome that's what

[WhatTehFux]

@sorethroat91 If by awesome you mean intensely shit, then yes, you are correct.

[yadda101]

This guy's a real toe tapper!

[DJSEvEN72]

whats funny to me, is that there seem to be people taking pictures of this CRAP!

this is like listening to a bad radio reception, by that ment, noting special, anyone can do this, it's not even music, its noice, like having tinitus and beeing buttfucked at the same time.

[Migslayer101]

terrible

[taikinasuikka]

It`s kind of funny that all you have to do is press a fucking button on a laptop and it creates sicker noise than any shitty metal band can make.

[ZebraMu]

hahah I agree!

[jasonbigelow]

i agree.

[PtotheMtotheJ]

Hhahahahahahahahahah! Sick noise, yeah right!

[xPikaWolfx]

@taikinasuikka Although I like metal, I agree with that. Although noise music takes talent in production, Merzbow just pre-prepares his so he doesn't have to do it all live.

[revdom666]

Ahhhhhhh, I love me a little Merzbow.

[noiseruption]

noise to boil your innards and silence your thoughts.

[joeygarcia24]

wow, i guess a mans trash is another mans treasure. I'm convinced you can just about play anything and there will always be people out there that like it. Weird.

[kanezeki]

merzbow is one of the pioneers of the sound and to be honest still one of the best artists in the noise scene

[CantStopMeBiotch]

@kanezeki That's not saying much.

[rgawer]

he's more pop than madonna.

no, just kiddin. he is a warrior.

[SokuSatan]

what a nice carpet!

[TheKingOfAwkward]

like omg I thought the same thing!

[russfranklin]

is this guy serious?

[laxworld15]

i understand this stuff isn't for me, but do people really go and see this stuff live...what is one of his concerts like???

[sheepywotsit]

Loud. Very very loud. I think live takes it to another dimension, you get immersed in the music and it doesn't just affect you sonically but also physically with the sound physically shaking your body.

It's an experience.

[jacobgoldbergsongs]

*watches a live video of a band* omg what are their concerts like

[foxnhound33]

noise core. ha . more like noise. no core in that apple? original.

they are like one hit wonder though. michael j. of noise world, barely even underground any more. buy merzbox, go crazy, come back, proselytize.

[terrortwylight]

this guy is like a noise legend, right?

[AryMcKade]

right.  godfather of noise.

[potranca2008]

YEAAAAA!!!

this men is the best doing the noisecore, the music of this man is just beautiful and wonderfull...mmmm the noise of merzbow is the best

[Zanrook]

What software does Masami Akita use?

[Lejnoss]

lol 6,666 views when i saw it.

pretty wierd shit. like his "meat is murder" sticker.

[jasperplaysthebass]

i just got into merzobw......wierd stuff.... its kinda spooky...all that noise, i love it!!!

[Persocon]

Merzbow is my favorite Japanese noise artist.

[Abstritron009]

julianhogendobler is right.....

I preffer Noise Stay on low Profile...

Comercialism May Kill It.....

Great Noise!! (not screamed)

[electrofromage]

i don't think you have to worry about it getting to o commercial

[PtotheMtotheJ]

That's true. Nobody listens to this waste of time.

[Wazdav]

hes playing the Hare & Hounds in Birmingham, !! Ill be there

[intiphereth]

tellement dommage d'avoir loupé le live à genève... :(

<3 noïzzze !

[pabloslam]

I guess I miss, those more active live shows of him

but still I do respect him for his compromise on his long career on this not very accepted genre

[Cowcodude]

hey sweet! a video of this, I have the EP of this very set.

[AndersonThompsonJr]

his music is almost like a visual art; as if it has substance, and colour. i feel so awake after listening to his music.

[username19237]

I just wish the "oustiders" would take us seriously.

[julianhogendobler]

Then this wouldn't be so unique or groundbreaking if that was the case? C'mon now wallow in that sweet obscurity, because you don't want everyone doing the same damn thing now do ya?

[lackthrowofficial]

and come on...you can't expect most people to love this stuff.... AND can't wait to get merzbow's new 'peace for animals'!

[lackthrowofficial]

agreed about the boring performance...but if you were there you'd be there for the sound and be blown away. btw i like rap pop and everything up til harsh noise. been making noise for 17 years myself and i've found at best what i could hope for with introducing people to noise is a convert. but that is VERY rare. any of us would be lucky to just have someone respect, if not like it.

[michaelrelth]

this music is really interesting, i like it! but comeon, this looks like the most boring performance ever, he's just sitting there. maybe i don't get it, but one may as well listen to the CD.

[SomeShows]

This is really comforting to know someone is interested in it rather than just hating it right off the bat without first understanding. Merzbow seems like a really calm guy, though other Noise artists (many of which Merzbow has collaborated with) have interesting performances. Check out Bastard Noise, Prurient, Andorkappen, Masonna, Amps For Christ, Emil Beaulieau, etc.

[pabloslam]

I'm not into noise anymore, (I couldn t say I was really into it) but it have been a nice experience to check all those names you mentioned

thank god(?) for internet :D

[JamieBarnes11]

If you are there its a lot different. I saw Merzbow play at Dour Festival and seriously there is nothing quite like a live noise show. you just stand there transfixed by the sounds. Music like this is definatley helped by the volume and the atmosphere of the show, which is why it is worth going to see him rather than just listening to his cds.

[highwaymen13]

check out merzbow's comp cd with mike patton on it fucking nice and check out mike pattons self titled stuff for some good noise but in my opion pulse demon is by far merzbow's best work to date

[pabloslam]

I'm becoming slowly a big fan of Mr. Patton, and I know merzbow for 10 years or so, I'd love to hear that mix, can u send it to me somehow?

thxs bro!

[robcr8ton]

i played disc 1 of the houjoue box set to 2 friends the other day they whinged its just static turn it off! noise rocks my world should i still be their mates when they clearly have not taste

lol

[Outlanderpsy]

Hey, I used to have a friend who only listened to rap music, at least your friends probably don't listen to that rap garbage.

[VomitSelf7]

My freinds don't like it either, but they respect it. Lie, I have a freind who likes Masonna.

[mckickflip]

god damn i wish i was there.

[robcr8ton]

merzbow's f'ing amazing
