The Black Angels - Sniper at the Gates of Heaven

[adam1othman]

i just discovered this band i like their sound i generally like garage band sounds like the black keys. but these guys are really good they sound old school i like it.

[ramon19141]

woodstock 2012

[lucaspaulable]

sounds more like grace slick than he does morrison

[MrJesuschrist51]

Doesn't sound like Morisson at all. End of the question.

[dannyroele]

@MrJesuschrist51

oke but..... why ist it then that thr 1st thing that pops in the head???? (my head)

must be the music...........

[MrJesuschrist51]

@dannyroele I ve got no idea of how to put it. But if you think that sounds like morisson, i actually don't care at all. Your problem. I can only feel sorry.

[keg64]

great band

[ss109guy]

Morrison wanna be? I don't like it.

[keg64]

@ss109guy theres no other bands sounds a bit like the doors great band

[flatheadcats]

im more into the tits of the drummer

[MrItsabeautifulday]

@flatheadcats Yeah, there's just something 'bout here playing that... That... Just... Erm....

[seerymseery]

see the size of the tits on that keyboard player !!

[RevolutionontheTV]

Not only are they a cool band but the lead singer Alex is also a great guy... Took a history class with him at Texas State... dude is smart as hell. His lyrics prove that he is pure genius. Thumbs up to keep Austin Bands HUGE!!!!

[mrjigglejugz]

sexy drummer ;)

[BerryBorat]

Don't mean to stomp on anyone's parade but the Jim Morrison vibe is overrated. This is forty sum odd years suppressed, this is diamond infused

[krackapino]

Their drummer is fuckin bomb!

[highonfire20]

i do get a doors/morrison feeling, but i also feel a zeppelin, neil young vibe to. which isnt a bad thing if they dont get to carried away with it and start "Trying" to sound that way......just keep doin wat ur doin!

[mrowa9425]

A copy of the doors. Now the question comes to mind - it's good or not?

[PolarBear231]

When recently asked whether he thought anyone should really try and sound like Jim Morrison on stage, Mr Horse replied, "No, Sir. I don't like it."

[Iraccroatia]

A 60 yr old irish croat has finally returned to music after 4 decades of govno! 

[jaegernm]

but they're all white people??......

[millerlife24]

Sounds a lot like Morrison, I think I'm in love...

[millerlife24]

Sounds a lot like Morrison.... I think I may be in love.

[millerlife24]

Sounds a lot like Morrison.... I think I may be in love.

[MortifiedPenguin0319]

@millerlife24 i always thought it was a female singer Xd



[ZoraHalo]

Well, I've been *waiting* for a modern Doors substitute to come along! So much shitass music out there lately, & it's all interchangeable-- this is the only band I've heard on recent radio that made me say "Whoa, who is that?" and spurred me to look it up. I love the phrasing, and the quietly decorated guitar drones, and the occasional appearance of that ole hammond-organ sound, and of course the Neo-Morrison vox. Good stuff! So glad that decent rock isn't dead.

[DarthSmittius]

@ZoraHalo Wow! you heard them on the radio...must be a rocking radio station.

[RevolutionontheTV]

sniper at the gates ironic but lets not hold our breath.

[oconnorjim111]

I also get some Neil Young in the vocals

[barry770]

so many black angels songs make me wanna goto Nam

[ironmaiden9991]

Sounds like Grace Slick. Sounds of the Underground and a little of the Doors on "The End". Completely different than U2...mainly because the Black Angels have talent.



[WillyFeelerbusch]

The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and Sabbath all took some acid and had a threesome and the Black Angels were born.

[750triton]

@WillyFeelerbusch more like a gang bang after listening to other BA tracks, the yardbirds and the kinks musta been there too

[BongoFury33]

I got enough of the Doors back in the day. Don't need a hip redux.

[JoeGalaxy]

@valen0011 Iwould add Suicide (Alan Vega/Martin Rev) to your mix

[MrMegaduder]

they totally remind me of u2, i think the singer sings it 100% bono

[cullen415]

@MrMegaduder you take that back...

[MrMegaduder]

@cullen415 i cant, thats just what i believe man.

[cullen415]

@MrMegaduder bono would hold a charity concert for a toenail... the black angels would scoff at the toenail then grow their own. and use them to make music.

[Assaultpredator]

@cullen415

LOL

[MrMegaduder]

@cullen415 bono had both his toenails removed because they were ingrowing. why would you bring that up at a time like this?

[cullen415]

@MrMegaduder i know it's still painful, but if we don't giggle at it now we'll never be able to giggle at it freely!!!

[Modom2011]

The best...the Doors, but different.  Good, good stuff..

[nisto95]

one of the best bands of the decade.

[GodBurger]

If I were in some band and we were really diggin our own thing and just wanting to play music, I would really hate a constant barrage of who we sound like shit like...Morrison....just like early floyd..ripping off velvet underground blah blah blah. the thing is they are happening NOW you are living now and they reflect shit happening today. The major bummer is the commercialism or sell out, losing touch with what they came from

or out of Greed kills in more ways than one can shake a stick at,

[designerhell]

Yea just one more word about this tune...isnt there a floyd song named "piper at the gates of dawn"? Anyway, these guys rock. Come to Phx!

[designerhell]

Yea i hear Morrison in the vocals, but better. The tonality is much more palletable. I didnt like the doors. Still dont. And yet the doors are in there. Maybe its better tech...i dont know, but Black Angels rock, baybay!

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

I kept waiting for this song to explode and kick ass. It never happened

[MrGotchababe]

@NoneBuriedDeeper it's psychedelic rock, not your fricking teenage punk-pop-rock

[GonsalvoDeCordova]

@NoneBuriedDeeper They call it foreplay.

[NathFilms]

best band ever

[japanval]

@slye1991 reminds me of "the end"

[apieceofenergy]

@slye1991 I'm getting a more... jefferson airplane feel from the whole band.

[MrJohndoakes]

Ah, yes "Fox Rox", the only decent local show on San Diego's old Fox affiliate XETV. The show wnt off the air 4-5 years ago and Fox changed channels (!), and they are still trying to make us think that "Fox 5" is not channel 69.

[jimmiehwalker]

love this sounds like the black delta movement

[Dkkbulletsmile]

i'm going to see them the 1st of july woo woo

do i need to get high before the concert? lol

[buddyboy68]

@Dkkbulletsmile Man get high before during and after! Blast it.

[iplayguitarido]

This sounds to me like the Velvet Underground fusioned with the doors.

[addictedtotoads]

it sucks to be a guy sometimes, i watched this whole video to try to figure out if the drummer was hot.... no progress was made.

[earinsound]

@addictedtotoads

0:33

[earinsound]

@addictedtotoads

31 seconds in, buddy

[olivethis]

dark, sexy, badass. I really want to see live.

[chisoxbaseball24]

@olivethis They are amazing live!!! i saw them at austin psych fest, every black angels fan shud see em live! :D

[apc467]

jiggle jiggle



[sonsofrage]

stephanie bailey gives me a boner just by playing those drums

[BoyOrdinary]

Great band!! And the voice recalls a bit of Jim Morrison and a bit of the singer of Red Temple Spirits...

[Megastros]

girl drummer! kim pine would be pissed

[danaic1]

this is sooooo good...!!!

[lastcatamount]

The Doors of our time.

[9threalm]

Reminds me of a mix between The Doors & Queens of the stone age = Good stuff

[chaosnewterer]

Why does everyone compare them to The Doors and Alex to Jim Morrison? I just don't hear either one. They sound pretty unique to me.

[kaptkegan]

@chaosnewterer It's the voice. Sounds pretty Jim Morrison, especially with the rambling sort of jam format of the song. Go check out "The End." Pretty reminiscent. They do have their own thing going though, especially for their time.

[trilobite3339]

i love girl drummers!

[SuperCp12]

@trilobite3339

The drummer is awesome isnt she? she is very intense on all of the darker songs like "Drone" and "Mission Street".

[brknspacebar]

i like girl drummers bc their boobies constantly bounce...@@

[slye1991]

is anyone getting jim morrison vibes from the lead singer

[Assaultpredator]

@slye1991

yep. my uncle whom i sent this band to check out said the same thing.

the lyrics are trippy and the music feels the same way as the doors' did for their music.

Any comparison is a compliment for each!!!!!!!

[ohdear1964]

@slye1991 Yeah, dig that one

[jrice73]

@slye1991 Absolutely. That's why I love this TBA.

[QuantilAlex]

@slye1991 Dude, you are hilariously accurate with that comment, like I couldn't even have made the connection:)

[heshwuan]

@slye1991 more like Neil Young.

[Dkkbulletsmile]

@slye1991 i do bro. i'm wondering why the drummer is a woman here. in some other videos is a man or i've been mistaken it for the whole time hehehehe

[clyde9703]

@slye1991

YES! my sister's boyfriend loves the black angels...they're going to see them friday and want me to come too, so i decided to check them out and that was the first thing i thought!

[blacktom]

@slye1991 Clearly, with some Jefferson Airplane.



[sillymickel]

@slye1991 no doubt about it, jim morrison. i think he's come back.. :-)

[bigbaddaddydanny]

you got it man, I just asked my wife who the lead singer could be compared to. And we both totally agreed on Jim Morrison.

[unbourne666]

@slye1991 Indeed!!

[liveecarbme]

@slye1991 I'm getting a Velvet Underground vibe from this band.

[SillyPhilly13]

@slye1991 I'm getting Door's vibrations from the whole sound in general

[tearsinrain86]

saw them last night in DC, they are every bit as good live as they are over mp3

and yes, they still sound like The Doors in person

[dollbite]

They remind me of the Doors more than anything. The vocals sound so much like Jim Morrison.

[barboglio]

i love his voice :)

[DOYLERULES69X]

I love this band. They're sound sort of reminds me of Joy Division. So glad I found them. 

[saumonnn]

ITS SOUNS MORE LIKE YOUTUBERS ARE GAY FAT PEOPLE AND DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT HOW TO COMPARE MUSIC AND ARTISTS

NEXT

[Assaultpredator]

@germville

Because they have tits.

[MrRichpersonson]

@germville 'Cause my dear boy, they have boobs.

[christianoutreach003]

velvet under ground

[TARPICK3201]

BAD-ASS like Neil singing with the Doors!

I just discovered these guys.

[TheFourthHouse]

Why do people need to argue? Can't we all just spark up a bowl and enjoy the music?

[GodBurger]

@TheFourthHouse ....like a bowl of ramen noodles?

i like to listen to these guys while picking things from my caprpet (twigs, fuzz balls, bud and other such). I feel more part of the process than if I do the vacuum thing

[TheFourthHouse]

@GodBurger Hmmm... thats cool too I guess. I like to get extremely high and zone out to some good music. Picking things out of my carpet while I'm stoned just seems like too much work.

[Ud0nTgNoMiE]

@TheFourthHouse Puff Puff Pass :P

[zionmonker]

i feel like taking heroin after watching this.

[inconcordium]

@zionmonker I feel like beating the ever loving shit out of you after reading your comment. Take a long hike through the cold, stoner.

[zionmonker]

@inconcordium dear punkass bitch. u r a fucking idiot. ur a damn joke. this music sounds like drug music.

[inconcordium]

@zionmonker Dear illiterate shit, it would appear that you were too fucking stoned to pay attention when you were being taught basic English grammar. Go eat a dick. With pity, your evident superior.

[zionmonker]

@inconcordium dear fucking inchworm, u dont have to be stoner to know stoner music. u dickless bastard.

[inconcordium]

@zionmonker You're making less and less sense as time goes by. Am I confusing you, fucktard? Do I "nd 2 start typing liek dis" for you to understand, dumb fuck? Please do yourself a service and piss off. You're only embarrassing yourself.

[zionmonker]

@inconcordium U r a piss poor pathetic excuse for a person. u damn cum dumpster. u fucking twat. thank u

[Malonestar]

@zionmonker it most certainly is drug music

[TheRoninShogun]

@inconcordium Sounds like you need a little doobie yourself. Let the man enjoy his heroin and Black Angels in peace

[wooboy11]

This is far from jim morrison's voice. Not bad, just nothing alike. Dunno wtf everyone's talking about.

[MrMushrocks]

@wooboy11 The ressemblance is in the kind of screams he makes. Morrisonesque.

[aviatoreyes]

now i beleive in reincarnation. 

[68majortom]

dont sound 1 bit like NeilYoung!!!! Jim M. aye

[george082455]

Sounds like Jim Morrison wrote the song and Neil Young is singing it

[Kwalin11]

Sounds more like Neil Young than Morrison

[MerryBathCelestial]

all of a sudden, i feel so mellow, the sheets are silky and she's whispering to my eyes in heavy exhale,'...yeah, don't....don't stop, okay, please...okay, please...." I'm just listening to this song or my might lose focus 'cause her breath smells like a half pack of Lucky Strikes.....just gotta stay focused....

[memihelic]

I mentioned the JM thing to my wife. She agreed, Swore the guy was back from the dead.

[xxacriddxx]

well, i've found a new addiction.

[dopeybear420]

bouncy boobs

[lucalunaindiepop]

wer hat jemals behauptet, jim morrison wäre tot...?

[az0r22]

@SuperFloyd35 You really think this dude's voice sounds like Grace Slick ? I mean I don't think he sounds like jim either man , but like seriously ? Grace Slick ? DAAAmn

[SuperFloyd35]

@az0r22 yea dude idk. i just thot of white rabbit when i first heard Deer-Ree-Shee. either way Alex Maas flippin' RULES! peace.

[az0r22]

@SuperFloyd35 yh man :) peace

[waylo4526]

kewl band with a hot drummer...tooo toooo cool!!

[ArmoredFelix]

Come on you pathetic niggers, try to make it a bit more challenging you froth and foam at the first person who says you're wrong. God I hate you nazi wannabes.

[DominusRexDK]

@ArmoredFelix a troll

[rocksolid351]

Man nice Doors style and yet unique and stands on its own. Good job guys!

[gstarkid1]

totally didn't notice the bassist standing there till 2:43

[joshcaprai]

These guys are deadly. the end.

[Lonewolfff36]

@joshcaprai hahaa. nice. so true

[troycoughlin]

If you like this your gonna love MAX PAIN AND THE GROOVIES

[strat458796]

When the drummer was playing her boobs jumped :)

[sk8erlife73]

Id say Justin is the most loved and hated person on the planet.

[Rick2326]

The lefty guitar player must love John Lennon cause I've seen him play two guitars now that Lennon played. =)

[Chameleonardodavinci]

Holy fuck I'm the 8th to say this but jesus tittyfucking christ would I show that drummer a sweet time...

[PatrickMc1nerney]

Where the hell is the applause at the end? lol

[wick2107]

@PatrickMc1nerney this was a "studio live" album...there was no audience.

[PatrickMc1nerney]

@wick2107 oooh, that makes sense lol

[BIGDADDY36253]

I went to school with this guy LOL... What a trip Go Alex

[beckner4200]

piper at the gates of dawn anyone?

Not quite though.

[garrettlolwut]

seeing them in a week shits gonna be so cash

[stryder9]

Justin Bieber is better; just kidding. They have a nice sound and I think it's warming up to me. I'm ambivalent about the singer channeling Jim Morrison's voice though. It's something I suspect that I'll love in some songs and yet be irritated in others.

[Sombar1]

I have learned that girl drummers are the best.

[BobbsonXI]

@Sombar1 only because they bounce like a freakin spazz when they play

[Dubya816]

@Sombar1

So you've never heard of John "Bonzo" Bonham or Dave Grohl.

[eedobaba7726]

@Dubya816

Or Keith Moon or Niel Peart.

[Dubya816]

@eedobaba7726

This guy understands.

[jeng3000]

@Sombar1 they are in touch with the beating heart...

[mistaspot1]

@Sombar1 Carla Azar is a good example.

[psykomatik]

@Sombar1 Maybe not for Meg White (even if i love White Stripes)

[Sombar1]

@psykomatik Meg's cool. I mean, she's far from the best drummer, or even one of the best, but her drumming fits the white stripes and I doubt any other could replace her. Jack White is a douche cuz he's totally like ditching her and going off on his own little bands.

[TouchFasterImaging]

@Sombar1 She is aweosme and I know some other female drummers that kill but I can definitely think of a few cases where that is very untrue...The first one that comes to mind is The White Stripes...I love them to death but Meg was holding Jack back big time.

[AkaBaked]

@Sombar1 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahha no



[namalkotage]

he is so handsom and single but he is a father naneedj.info

[aola6]

how old are the dipshits talkin bout the drummers tits? man up boys..she'd look right through you

[jj15989]

hmmm not bad.........

for a woman

[StearnsosPage]

she could play those drums with her tits :D

[Kyd0x]

I like how she bounces whilst she plays the drums :P lol

[dudehaha3000]

@Kyd0x Specifcally how two parts of her bounce, eh? eh? I'm making a joke about her tits, get it? Get it? God I'm fucking clever, I'm like, Sexy Jesus meets funny Ghandi and The loony Toon's love child... god I'm lonely...

[Adjite]

its like the " Doors "

[jimmyggh1]

@Adjite Couldnt agree more

[renegade220]

Loving the Doors influences in this band...

[DanDoesThat]

OMG I THOUGHT JIM MORRISON WAS DEAD. :O

[uzy64]

@DanDoesThat thats exactly what i was thinking



[SuperFloyd35]

@DanDoesThat Jim Morrison??!!! Jesus u need help! Sounds nothing like Jim. Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick maybe but Jim??? come on!

[jokeraces22]

@DanDoesThat sounds alittle like neil young also'

[Lrpesme48]

@jokeraces22 I thought so too!

[godlike234]

@jokeraces22 cool i'm not the only one who thinks that

[barry770]

@DanDoesThat i was sayin the same thing reminds me of the doors

[58tag]

@DanDoesThat its like a jim morrison brought back to life in another body its freaky but awesome

[bigchief70]

@DanDoesThat The lead singer could/should do a tour with the doors, they would sound amazing.

[ADjomoh]

@DanDoesThat .

aah dude i was thinking the last couple videos i saw..

JIM!?(:

[falcon5romeo]

@DanDoesThat Go watch a Doors live video. they sound nothing alike.

[christianoutreach003]

@DanDoesThat sounds like velvet underground

[stilldude]

female drummer. i think my pants just split open from the force of my drummer boner
