Behold the Arctopus-Exospacial Psionic Aura

[clarkshapedbox]

whats with the drum intro?? they usually start it off with the abrupt explosion of awesome like on the album!

[Mycul999]

Amazing, anyone calling these guys anything other than awesome, unique, sweet etc.. is a clueless baby raping banana smuggler

[rodrigomacias]

best behold the arctopus's song

[warriorbysword]

everyone doesnt realize the recordings they hear are shyte... I love this band. Bad recordings is the only thing that makes them sound bad lolz. BUY THEIR CDS!!! On the level of buckethead and primus.

[InsomniumX]

I´d actually say that these guys are (technically) better than Buckethead!

[rodrigomacias]

best song ever!!

[hungrysparrow]

At first I laughed at the 'worst band in the word' clip. But now I realise how wrong I was. This band rocks - totaly unique and experimental.

[timothyownage]

i love the first 3 or 4 minutes of this song

[Visualundeath]

I Fucking love the interlude to this song.

[5quirrelly]

It's beautiful.

[phatnitude]

i'd just like to say...

tech/prog rock is always getting flamed on cause no one likes the way they sound. they should get over it. for every person that doesn't like the way it sounds, i'm sure there is a few that are incredible. they don't suck,their technical abilities far surpass that of most other bands, and they have the ability to meld that in with certain "intermissions" in the middle of the song.

So, seriously, don't hate just cause you could never hope to be that good.

this song pwns.

[Demolishment]

very butthurt

[xheavyxstormx]

this suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuckssssssssssssssssssss­sssssssssss

[poptartwonder]

I hate the music, hairstyle, music, the music, the name of the band, the music, the name of the song, the music, and everything about the Arctopus.

[Visualundeath]

There's the door. Seeya.

[popemobile15]

@poptartwonder that's because you're a terrible human being :)

[CorteTB]

wow, this is like the best i've heard these guys play, the rest of it i can live without

[xbm]

Warr Guitar is a bass played by tapping the strings. The entire band rocks, so stfu.

[fruteefly]

i agree, but its actually not a bass,

colin is his name right? his is two 7 string guitars, his sound liek basses sometimes because they have kickass midi ports so it can sound like anything. they do make double 4 string basses tho.

[whitewalls1222]

@fruteefly thats wrong on so many levels.. he has 2 outputs, they are standard outputs, not midi, its a 6 string guitar, and 6 string bass mashed together, its called a warr guitar, there is only 12 strings in all, he runs through a bass amp and a guitar amp

[cryptopsy666alas]

The only one who truly is good is the drummer.

Btw, what the hell is a warr guitar, is it a bass or a guitar??

[elperropatron]

If you want to see someone who can really play a Warr, check out some videos of King Crimson in the 90s. Trey Gunn play's that thing like it was invented for him.

[socksasium]

Both. :)

[someguynamedmason]

It's both. A 6 string bass combined with a guitar, but they also have different combos.

[boxofcookies]

i used to hate these guys....and i still do

[lolsphere]

It's good to see you've taken a stand on such a pressing issue.

[sirking11]

lol...

[jeswashburn]

honestly, I cant understand what people see in them. There is nothing wrong with being creative or innovative, but there are certain things in music that just shouldn't be changed. Having a melody, for example.

[progbassftw]

Just be cool and broaden your musical horizons. Or if u don't like something just say it so we can discuss why you actually don't like it. Don't be haters. Peace

[progbassftw]

What's really the need insulting each other here? And no they don't compare theirselves to necrophagist, just say they could play that years ago, when they were still on middle school (probably since its technical stuff). If you don't like this band/music just don't be a hater and starting insulting every1, trying to be a man saying u listen to ''music can make youtube users moms to shit theirselves''.

[adriant0rres]

Yes!Nano Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning..And you guys need to shut up and not listen to this if you dont like it..Wasting your worthless time being Pathetic kids..obviously you guys dont belong in this spectrum of music ..call it what you want ut thats not making a diffrence..unkowledged people..go listen to what YOu think is good in your book

[greenespltd]

and this song REALLY isn't that atonal. They have much more messed up sounding stuff than this. I find this one being one of their more pleasant ones :]

[greenespltd]

I want a warr guitar now.

[mikamage]

go to their metalblade page, they compare themselves to necrophagist.

enough said...

[churchboose]

Haha I wonder why ratings are disabled...

[dealerofdeth]

these mother fuckers need to learn to make music

[duffeknol]

you're not really a metal fan are you

[dealerofdeth]

Oh here we go again with another pussy on youtube talkin shit cause they're "safe" behind the keyboard.The stuff i listen to would make your mother shit herself,but this would make her want to kill herself,Any shitfaced idiot offa the streets would know that this aint technically music

[duffeknol]

goregrind and shitty brutal death? No thanks, now that's lacking creativity, faggot.

[dealerofdeth]

Go ahead and listen to this noise if you like asshole,cause im done arguin with some dick face who wants to call rubbing a cat on a washboard music.Fuckin tards dont know what the fuckin difference is between noise and music

[killerbiene243]

Funny... Embarrissing, but funny. More comments like this, please! :D

[duffeknol]

lmfao

[xbm]

One of the greatest bands of our time.

[insektuo]

i was there!! and i was happy!! and i was astonished! and i was introspectively fucked up!!

and the best part of the show was the girl that was so drunk that fell next to colin´s amp hahahhaa funny as hell!

[closeddoors]

Everyone on Youtube is so judgementally challenged. It sickens me.

You wanna hear something better than just a video of them? Check out their music at their myspace page and then have a reasonable opinion. Since they consider it their official wesite for some reason.

[churchboose]

terrible shit noise, i just farted and it was more rythmically appealling than this.

[pukeboy66]

wow, some of you are so fucking stupid it's unbelievable, I know that at least colin ( the warr guitarist) knows theory, he studied it in high school and college.

[aSignInTheTrees]

what is this? i thought tht music was supposed to have rythm.... and a sound tha is pleasant to te ears.... this is almost painfull to hear. ugh, im closing now so i sont haveto listen

[fgfgldk]

this band is sick!!!, check out this band Dolfin that added me on myspace, their pretty awesome.

[unholymethod]

1:40 made me cum blood...

[freedomsufferer]

Anyone who can't appreciate this either can't understand it or isn't a musician. It isn't just ruckus & it does go with what the other one is doing. The transitions are crazy ass & they are tight. Crazy random ruckus would not be tight like this.

[inmytimeofneed]

The are probably great to go see, have a great night to in the local club, but that's where they should have stayed. A local band.

[PlayWaterPolo]

hahahahha i like how people think they're good... they know absolutely NO theory, just some scales and two guitar techniques. its not 'techniqucally difficult, its just retarded. it sounds absolutely horrible. i think theyre theory is "if we change the tempo 15 times and hit lots of notes that dont match with each other but play them really fast will be great."

[animalslaughter]

yeah, thats technical metal. i think you'd be surprised how many "talented" guitarists (and bassists) dont know a lick of theory, just a bunch of scales and runs that sound good. your ears are just untrained to appreciate the magnitude of this band's technical skill and music writing capabilities

[Fraeg]

you really really need to look at another video of them with better sound, or read up on them... because you just shoved your foot in your mouth in a big way with what you wrote. you don't like it? that is fine, but they are extremely talented and of course technically proficient musicians

[therealoctober]

...Says someone who lists Blink 182 as a favorite band..

Are you kidding me? Read up on these guys before you say anything. They most likely know way more musical theory than you do.

If you had any experience with jazz, you'd know that tempo changes and dissonances can be VERY musical.

It's called originallity. I'd much rather listen to them than some cheap generic pop-punk band.

[sixpounderBo]

well this is not far away from blink XD(cheap band) and in fact its true they dont know shit of theory XDXD... take it from a huge jazz and pregressive metal fan this is going no where and there's no point to argue

[insektuo]

hey you should read about ATONAL music and its composers..thats not new and believe me it has a huuuge background theory, and yes THEY KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING

[ryanexsus]

these dudes tore down the fuckin house in Little Rock. it's utterly rediculous how baddass these dudes are...

[elementcult]

yea.............the middle part is unbelievably melodic

[Blastbeat420]

I CANT STOP DROOOLING

this stuff is brilliant

[ErikMcLennan]

Come to Montreal damnit!

[Walls1441]

the part at 3:33 ftw

[jezuz12345]

Colin Marston rules!

[insektuo]

heyy!!! i can hear one of my climax screams down there!!! unforgettable night!!

i had sooo much fun!!

[TruNikkaz]

wow terrible? ur obviously a musical retard... anyways, behold... te arctopus owns, so thx for putting on here

[iplayyourdreams5]

wow... terrible.

[fatcockofjustice]

lol

[Horticulturist]

hahahahhaha

[Fontimus]

wow... you're obviously clueless.

[patt0x]

holly shit! amazing. of course, this guys would never come to southamerica...

[musicgeek44]

america has a good amount of great bands like this

[4ndreasH]

Colin Marston is one hell of a musician.

[ifuckingtriumph]

ah thanks for clearing that up. :) sucks though cuz the end, though it isn't much, is really atmospheric. i like it a lot.

[ifuckingtriumph]

I hope they stopped right there cuz if they played the last 2 minutes of the song and it's not on there, I feel really robbed.

[death4all]

--no robbery, after a couple of seconds of feedback from the warr guitar they went right into "...spaceturtle"

[ryanandrewmartin]

OMG! The deuling solos part is one of the best things I've ever heard, live or recorded. I love these guys.

[7stringtechdeath]

Holy shit the playing is fucking tight.

Basically no errors.

Great Behold... The Arcopus song, great live sound aswell.

:-)

[larryatta]

nice :D
