Behold...The Arctopus - Alcoholocaust

[Arbitr0n]

idk what to say........its annoying. I mean ill bet they can play and have good theory and all that, but it is absolutely sour and all that theory doesn't count for shit if you can't make a song that is actually pleasing to listen to

[andrewscottgreer]

So many musically iggnorant fucks on here. Such a good song.

[mattjoeywoo]

Am I the only one here that thinks behold the arctopus isn't actually that bad?

I find them quite innovative.

[srfBoris157]

Watching the Guitar One video of this song (without the drums) is sickening - minus a couple of parts here, this is actually listenable. Quite enjoyable at some points, actually. lol

[QuantizeMusic]

To the untrained ear, this is noise. To the trained ear, this is noise with lots of time signatures and polyrhythms.

[JDrockerDUDE]

this kind of music takes getting use too. it's unique at least.

[yooxa]

I fucking love this..

[maxpowd3r]

@kitthehacker the two minutes of silence was the best part of the track

[darkstar19]

This is actually an insult to music.

[zachf914]

@darkstar19 your an insult to life. gtfo

[darkstar19]

@zachf914 aww you got sand in your vagina?

[zachf914]

@darkstar19 you mad? nice comeback. a 3rd grader could have made a better one.

[DeadlyFredXXX]

These guys are great

[varcius]

I sometimes feel that people forget that music, at the end of the day, is nothing but noise in a time format. To the soul discretion of the musician should it sound good/weird or be simple/complex in time.

[smackythefirst]

This song is catchy as shit. hahaha These guys should tour with DEP and Meshuggah. That'd be one hell of a show.

[punishersadvocate]

wtf is this lol

[teuffelowo]

omg man XDDDDDDDD I can't even...

[pritishsai]

I would die of boredom at their live concert

[flyingspagetti]

@pritishsai Lol same here. Although they are suited for camping festivals. Drinking beer then set up you tent in front of the stage and snooze a little.

[malcolmX213]

I'll never get over how bad this song sounds without their drummer and how I actually can enjoy listening to it once he's added. It would probably also sound better with a second guitarist and a bassist instead of that crazy ass thing the one guy plays.

[EmperaMaccrage]

ive been a musician for 15 years and this is just so unbelievably bad...i mean i wanna meet the guy that signed em and see if he wants 2 sign my dog for his mad skillz on the triangle...

[KaleTheShadow]

@EmperaMaccrage I'm sorry that you're a shitty musician, and only play 4/4 consonance.

[smackythefirst]

@EmperaMaccrage Oh great you've been a musician for 15 years, Lars Ulrich can boast more than that and that clearly doesn't mean he's any fucking good. I've only been a musician for 5 years but I can appreciate what they're doing and i understand all of the incredible technical skill they put into this.

[ukeleleboy97]

The begining of this song reminds me of waynes world

[McKintionary]

For non-musicians: I enjoy this, but I don't expect you to, so carry on with what you were doing.

For the studying musicians: Come on, guys. Consonance gets pretty fucking boring after a while. You may think this is terrible, but that says nothing about this music. It says much more about your auditory perception. Listen to Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" and then judge it in terms of a piece like that, which is considered a masterpiece.

[bagelisdelish]

This is very, bad.. It sounds like out of tune random note hitting fest.

[TheLollacaust]

You guys are talented musicians, you just can't write a song to fucking save your lives.

[LaughLotsVideos]

finally a clear recording of me taking a shit :)

[ImIwilliamImI]

@LaughLotsVideos

finally a clear recording of me not givng a shit :)

[liogat]

Opinions are like mouths... Most people have them. But sometimes, they suck.

[skate4lifebit]

no mater what video quality its still sounds like a bag of diarrhea fuckdicks

[ImIwilliamImI]

@skate4lifebit

What a smart reasonable in-topic comment about this very song.

Trollers gonna troll i guess.

[skate4lifebit]

@ImIwilliamImI No sir, not trolling just simply voicing an opinion with colourful language =]

[ASirensSoliloquy]

@ImIwilliamImI That comment gave me a lot of insight into this band. Stop.

[vM3TALLICAx]

pure atonal shit!

[chrisklecker]

Nothing but ear rape.

[shariotoflove]

this is like an episode of thunderbirds mixed with a bit of gang rape in the ear, you know, you can only take the first bit of the show then you lose interest.

[Nymfipapukaija]

How come 480p sounds worse than 360p? :S

[MetalHealth30]

Interesting at the very least. Another technical band to add to my listening list at any rate ^^.

[orangeapplesauce]

This Is SO FUCKING AWESOME!



[stillflyblown]

I think these guys are really good at playing, there's just no music in it to me. I love technical metal, but this is just too technical for me.

[IAMinDreams]

@stillflyblown i dont like them for there technicality as much as i like how they can put so much soul into playing,they twist and manipulate whatever they want to create .This really is progressive tech metal at its finest.

[barbwireboy2]

I enjoyed it up to 0:49...then it just went horrible.

[Bublerkin]

what's wrong with all these 15 dislikers?

[DrFizz28]

@Bublerkin they have ears

[kitthehacker]

I used to think Behold... The Arctopus was wanky crap. Now I finally see how awesome it is.

[RegieSatanas666]

Genre: Methamphetamine.

[foughtapterodactyl]

CrimsonDeath7, lol i concur. i vote old school contra.

[justWidle]

@foughtapterodactyl I'd say Contra, or Master Blaster.

[CrimsonDeath7]

this kind of music belongs on a video game lol

[1223dude1223]

@FelixFaction not even close, nice try though.

[1029ron1029]

all of you that says "this song is crap" or "this is shit" and stuff....just know that...to make notes that usually connect together is not a problem..you need to be a genius to make rare notes sound together as music...listen carefully i'm sure you will find music here and in many pro.metal band or songs....

thubs up if you agree =)

[aLYERO27]

i would rather read than listen to this

[19Labrie63]

@aLYERO27 I would rather read and listen to Behold...the Arctopus at the same time.

Here's to doing smart stuff!!!

[mortician001]

@aLYERO27 FAIL

[Acetopy2]

Giving this song a genre is like finding Osama Bin Laden, nearly impossible. I say its Progressive Math Jazz Speed Metal.

[ImIwilliamImI]

@Acetopy2

And now they found him! :D

[DemonFerrat]

@Acetopy2

lol weird timing on that comment...

[rationalfriend]

@Acetopy2 You're funny. ha

[JDrockerDUDE]

@Acetopy2 hahahahahhah well your wrong osama is dead XD

[Xavierrex3]

@Acetopy2 avant garde mathcore is what i would call it :)

[MundoAteu1]

@ImIwilliamImI

Mathcore? Noo... This is Garbage!

[rationalfriend]

sounds a lot better with the percussion but could use a healthy dose of prog

[jsteele07189]

@rationalfriend I think this is progressive - extremely progressive, too progressive for me! unusual chords, strange song structure, lots of different meters... definitely written with a prog aesthetic.

[LynkxMan]

I really like this math rock and I can understand it but I suck at maths why come that

[lobsterman3000]

@FelixFaction no. not core. you bastard. how can you say that? this is purely mathematical genius. core is for people who need to fit into a genre.

[bassguitarkeybordwiz]

I would so blast this out of my car, this is freakin awesome haha!

[PvtRichardCranium]

Well, I've officially lost all faith in humanity.

[ledzppn69]

This is a pretty sweet song

[ImIwilliamImI]

@ledzppn69

It's awesome

[YTisMyPlaylist]

@FelixFaction Where is the -core factor?

[MrUsername5678888]

This is my fucking favorite song of all time. Period.

[FelixFaction]

@ImIwilliamImI meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeee :D

[HugelyBig]

YOU GUYS ROCK YOUR THE BEST I HAVE ALL UR ALBUMS AND THEY BLOW MY MIND EVERY TIME LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ALwaysADevilDog]

@HugelyBig they sure blow SOMETHING alright....

[HugelyBig]

@ALwaysADevilDog

You didn't think I was serious, did you? Can't blame you, I guess - youtube is full of idiots who actually do make comments like that.
