  • this is fantastic, but i guess the drummer never does fills?

  • this shit sounds great, its mathcore if you dont know what it is dont click reccomendations

  • @bigace511 It's Math Rock, Mathcore is a lot different. I don't wish to get into a genre discussion though so regardless of what you call it at least we can both agree this song is fucking insane.

  • @bubsadoozy ohhh i get what your saying. its as choppy as math rock is , just a bit more hardcore? like The Locust for example?

  • @bigace511 Well Locust for example has really heavy vocals so yeah I'd call that math core. Choppy isn't the word i'd use. It really has to do with time signatures and tapping. Tera Melos for me would be Math Rock with some Punk almost -- that's what I get from their vocals. Most math rock doesn't contain any vocals at all. Usually it's without distortion or very little. There is this weird twang'esque sound guitars give out when tapping without distortion that is key to the Mathrock sound. IMO

  • Gonna see them in Montréal with Melt-Banana !

  • I can honestly say that i do not like this band, however that is not to say that their music isnt good.

  • I'm pretty sure people don't enjoy this band because they can't hxc two-step to it haha

  • @brainfart2000 or how about because most the song seems disorganized..? -______-

  • @MrDougIsHere That is totally untrue. Everything here is the way it's meant to be. You have to take into consideration time signatures and the changing of tempos and whatnot. Don't you get bored of normal song structure?

  • @brainfart2000 Yep. And thats why i look into mathrock and mathmetal. ;D

    But I just dont like this SPECIFIC version of the song. The album one is WAYYY much better. this one sounds like little kids banging on instruments :p

  • @MrDougIsHere Well, they are playing in a glass room..doesn't do it justice

  • this band is tight. you also have the right to disagree. and then its over. we go back to our lives, whatever it is that makes you and i say "yes sir i think i like it"

    haha with that said i might as well join in.

    this song beats out the top forty

    if you like tera melos you probly are the artsy differant type hahahaaa....

    they just paid off their van

    i saw tera with tfot and they kinda sucked. played a bunch of noise and then threw in a beatles riff at the end

    fav current band < jaga jazz

  • Tab this out

  • When we saw them Deer Hunter and Fall of Troy made them look like a kids garage band, sorry, just didnt hold up live

  • @colejoshrocks I saw that same tour, but with Foxy Shazam, too. I thought TM dwarfed them , but they got a 20 minute set compared to the other's 30-60 minute sets, soyeah I could see that. I never had much respect for FoT, and Tera Melos killed it. It's all opinion.

  • @Colenelly Yeah Foxy was there too, they reminded me of early Queen, the singer was too gay for me. Deer Hunter was really good, The guitar was good in TM, the drummer was annoying beat, incessant, like one big solo, just not for me, good energy tho

  • @colejoshrocks Is your name Cole? haha did you see them recently? When I saw them they played their heavy stuff. he even says on the new cd "all the hipsters think I'm gay. I'm not gay at all". haha I get what you mean, though. The group of people I was with didn't like them either.

  • @Colenelly Come on man! Fall of Troy is just amazing

  • I dont't wanna say these guys suck. I admire them going for something different. But c'mon, they are so getting away with making a bunch of noise and getting payed for it. I mean props to them for pulling it off (id do the same if i knew there was money in it). No one can turn round and seriously say they enjoy this "music". If someone does, they are more than likely just trying to be different and "arty". On the flipside - this still beats any chart topper today:)

  • @RooKastle >>You think they make significant amounts of money. I lol'd hard.

  • @RooKastle "I'd do the same thing if I knew there was money in it". Enough said. Money is obviously your first priority... Do yourself a favor, listen to more from this band. Listen to a few songs from each album. When you do, try to get used to hearing something different. Open your mind just a little bit, and let something different in. Listen to music in a way you probably haven't before. Realize this band actually doesn't get very much money from this kind of music... Then report back to us.

  • @RooKastle youre a fuckin rat dood. its like people need a reason to like a band besides liking the music "i have to listen to this band to fit my image as a person." MUSIC IS MUSIC listen to what you like and this band is sick their technical skill plus songwriting ability is not at an average level. its definitely a band that grows on you, but once you really give their records more than a couple listens, you realized youre getting splooged on with creativity

  • @RooKastle

    You are a complete jackass man. I've absolutely LOVED Tera Melos for like 5 or 6 years now, ever since they only had one album, let alone all the new music they've released since that first self-titled, each albums shows how much they've grown as musicians, they are constantly and consistently getting better and more creative with each release and as a multi-instrumentalist with (dare I say) "good taste in music," I love this band, their music is catchy as fuck in my opinion. Fuck.

  • Hella > this shit.

  • @siennasky7 : this is Tera Melos.

  • i don't listen to these guys much. they seem to have some real roots and don't play to the crowd much (from what i've seen) which is awesome. seems like they're kind of running around like chickens with their heads cut off at parts tho. but they are coming around and i honestly don't know if i could sit through a concert of this. can anyone recommend different songs of theirs or is this tera melos?

  • @siennasky7 their newest album has a clearer form.

  • @siennasky7 their newest album has a clearer form.

  • holy crap! I got a Peavy T-40 bass too...biggest piece of crap! It string through the back so string are always breaking and it weighs about 40lbs...been playin it for 25 years now,...when did they stop makeing them?

  • Mmm Peavey T-40

  • 1:43 - 1:46 hahaha que risa el perro

  • his guitar is worth more than my amp head.

  • is it true that if you bring a pedal to one of their shows they'll use it in one of their songs?

  • I love that little guitar part at 1:41 .

  • ultimate quitar onanism....very good...

  • why is there a chiwawa at 1:45 ?

  • @zealot566 cause he/she is enjoying Melos

  • I think that people need to understand this music before listening to it. These guys pour out a hundred different emotions into one single song. It really is there heart/souls coming out their instruments.

  • @theangrycow22 Sometimes less is more, I dont have the megabytes to comprehend it!! Its like Alien Fusion music. I think this would be porno music on Mars!

  • Man, all the people who hate on this band only comment on their live videos. If the band sucks so bad, why dont you tell us how synchronized the drumming on Melody 2 is? It's because IT ISN'T.

  • its just ecsessive jamming

  • @colejoshrocks jamming is never excessive...

  • @colejoshrocks This isn't jamming, listen to the album and then listen to this.

  • @jacobtheguitarfreak Actually We saw them open for the Fall of Troy at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, and I can honestly say MOST of it was indeed, unplanned noodling. Theyre like Frank Zappa on meth! not bad, just nothing you would want to listen to very often.Made for a great mosh pit tho I must say!!!!

  • @colejoshrocks Well, if you said this was "ecsessive jamming", you were obviously not familiar with their music. This is pretty much exactly what they played on Drugs to the Dear Youth. I've seen Tera Melos twice, and each time they played existing songs or variations of their older songs. You just might not have known the songs and assumed it was unplanned noodling. I can see how someone would think that if they aren't into Tera Melos that much... and moshing to Tera Melos? really?

  • Tera Melos invented amazing and trademarked badass.

  • i guarantee that tera melos has used every single timing signature at least once

  • old drummer?

  • @nookie1916 go fuckin work a job and drink a beer when you get home fagget

  • @grimward way ahead of you pal, easy on the meth.

  • @nookie1916 leave. us. alone.  !

  • It's actually all in time together, very complex. Kind of like when Europeans came to Africa and heard them play drums in times other than 4/4. You just have a simple music ear.

    Don't bash other people for what they like.

  • @nookie1916 Go listen to the studio version you faggot.

  • lol at 2:57 dog just chillin there

  • @mooneyman23 what dog?! lol

  • gotta appreciate math rock.

  • people forget this is probably one of the hardest styles to perfect. Its a mess but its an organized mess and to do that properly takes some musicianship. Sums up so many different moods for me this song and this music in general

  • these guys have a nice sound... but I recon they need step back the drumming is annoying me...

    I'll probably get bashed for saying that

  • You're damn right you'll get bashed. You don't know a god damn thing!

  • hahahahahhahaha! I knew that was the response I would get!

  • nah i agree

    still sweet playing alround though

  • @im100and2 I'm not bashing but completely disagreeing with you. I think the drums add so much of the complexity to the music.

  • Amazing stuff.

  • perfect. in every way. beautiful

  • i agree 100%

  • i love that these guys are real musicians, not just dudes in a band.

    so many bands today are filled with douchebags who want to get their dicks sucked by scene chicks at shows.

  • haha, yeah, but i'm sure these dudes want to get their dicks sucked by scene chicks at shows also..the only difference is Tera Melos deserves it.

  • touche

  • plus, what dude doesn't want their dick sucked by scene chicks?

  • @niloc141414 Hell yeah we need bands with priorities.

    Too Make Enjoyable Music.

  • @niloc141414 i wanna get my dick sucked by scene girls at shows

  • @JumpInTheFire14 me too

  • @JumpInTheFire14 me too especailly ones that dig tera meros

  • @niloc141414 HAHAH got to by my favorite comment on youtube XD

    I agree!

  • @niloc141414 im sure Tera Melos is not opposed to scene girl dick suckings though

  • @ThisTownNeedsLogan I agree!!

  • @ThisTownNeedsLogan I beg to differ.

  • @niloc141414 Like A Day to Remember? Not that they're even close to as good as these guys or even the same genre...But I saw them when they had 1 album and no one cared about them. Now they're like super pop rock/screamo and are doing everything they can to be popular. It's sad. And their singers nudes are all over the internet

  • does anyone know what amp + head the bassist is using?

  • This song just is.

    Tera Melos are what life wishes it could be.

  • very, very well put.

  • great music

  • dude what an amazing drummer..

  • anyone know why the drummer has only a snare any way? ;p is it because thats all he needs? somethign happened to the other toms? or he's just cool like that?

  • yea there was some issues with flooding or something? idk. but usually the drummer has a tom or two.

  • your faggot

  • "your faggot"

  • if your going to be an asshole, don't look like a dumbass while doing so.

    fucking douche

  • This video is what all Danny Carey/Neil Peart wannabes need to see. You don't need a hundred different things to hit, you need a hundred different ways to hit what you have.

  • well said

  • the scared ass dog was the best thing about this video ;P

    the drummer, vince, was the coolest room mate.

  • Comment removed

  • does anyone know what bass hes playing?

  • peavey t-40

  • I think the bass he's playing is a guitar. Like a 'bass guitar'. I could be wrong though.

    :)

  • what?

    -__-

    hes just playing bass

  • It was a joke... basses are formally called 'bass guitars'...

    Lighten up. Jeez.

  • that must have been easy to mic up...but knowing them they probably only used one for the whole thing.

  • You know your in a indie band when you have a drumset like that.

  • @brownlawnmowerent no you know your a bad ass drummer when thats all you need.

  • @brownlawnmowerent No, you know you're jazzy as fuck when you have a drumset like that.

  • New Drummer - Doesn't really know whats going on when I saw them Live.

    Played really bad at Bottom Of The Hill.

    But really good all the other times.

  • Nick Reinhart is my second-time removed great-nephew

  • Okay, i listened to the recorded version and i thoroughly enjoyed it. you can't hear half of anything in this video.

  • I agree. But still a good video.

  • Its a shame that the quality sucks, looks like alot of work was put into the camera and visuals. It might of worked out better if their music wasn't so all over the place.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • you need to get educated kid.

  • The clown has NO penis.

  • If you truly believe that this isn't music then you know nothing.

  • does the camera have to be as hectic as the music? lol

  • i came

  • I like apples, sometimes theyre green, sometimes theyre not.

  • WOOT

  • My penis is Nick Reinhart

  • Amen, Brother!

  • oh really? my dick is Nick Reinhart's cousin

  • the sounds like the first albums from hella

  • Nick Reinhart is my cousin

  • Nick Reinhart is my dad

  • my mom's name is michelle.

    and i like to eat oatmeal sometimes

  • My names Brett and I'm a scorpio.

    I got a new mouse tomorrow, but I had to give it back yesterday.

  • Congratulations...

  • Nick Reinhart is my uncle

  • he checked me for prostate cancer.

    then took me to arby's.

  • my cousin is Nick Reinhart

  • my dad is Nick Reinhart

  • I recommend hearing the album version. The drums are turned down and you can here the guitars better.

  • the sound quality is so bad! i think i would like them but... i cant say for sure!

  • I like apples, sometimes theyre green, sometimes theyre not.

  • wtf!?!?

    how many pedals does nick uses?!?!

    he's mad cool :D

    epic guitarists :O!

  • Dude im so excited i get to see them on the 7th!!! its gunna own on so many levels!

  • LOL!

  • watch the first video in the related videos, put it on HQ and try to follow along. its the same exact video but not as compressed.

    the drums are incredible for this song.

    ill be honest; there are parts where i wish he'd just chill out but its fucking great. its hard to follow a guitarist that just taps for the most part.

  • Thats the point. This is a band that uses the drums not to set a set a pulse or tempo, but to add texture and melody to the song.

  • These guys fucking rule and the guitarist is my cousin, so for all the low-self-esteem-no-life-having­-probably-never-had-a-girlfrie­nd-jack-off-at-home-alone-on-a­-Saturday-night-haters, check your jealousy at the door bitches!!! Tera Melos!!

  • no way!!! whos ur cousin?

  • TOO MANY CAMER CHANGES.

    makes ya dizzy, catchin' my drift?

  • This guys are really fucking good... but it sounds just like a bunch of noise. The music makes no sense.

  • at the beginging yea,but listent o the rest

    it's awosme :]

  • I disagree with the first part of your comment, but it definitely is not acid jazz

  • this is one of the most Talented bands i've ever heard in my life

    The Mars Volta being the most Talented...

    you just don't understand it :]

  • i absolutely understand, it

  • The quality just isn't the best, the guitar and bass sound is usually much clearer.

  • Nah Tera Melos isn't noise. There is quite a lot of melody in nearly all their songs. They are more talented than most bands too. The guitarist shreads and plays keyboard at the same time.

  • yeah... this song is really hard to play. on any instrument.

  • the bass in this song aint that bad.

  • in terms of actual note-for-note difficulty, that is true. however being able to memorize that intricate (and long) of a song while meshing with two other performers... the bass player is the anchor in this band. it's hard to do what he does.

  • this band is really good, the drummer is gone which sucks. this video isnt the greatest. the audio sounds like it was from the camera used, but hey still a fun music video. the low production is fun.

  • gotta love the melos

  • i hate how all these gay fall of troy pseudo-elitists run comments on tera melos videos like concentration camps. just because someone has criticism doesn't mean you have to get all nazi on em.

  • my nigga!

  • amaerzering live, if you have the chance go see them (i know vince, the drummer, is not in the band anymore but i talked to them and they got it covered so stop worrying) SEE THEM LIVE DAMNIT.

  • Seconded. Their live shows changed my whole outlook on music.

  • i cant believe i wasnt able to go when they were in town.

    sad sad day

  • Man! That was eloquent, you should be a writer. Seriously, don't let all that talent for words, and observation go to waste. The way you just completely destroyed this band without having any videos of your own up there, wow! Because we all know CKY is the height of greatness in music. You Genius you.

  • Fenderr0ckre: You are literally retarded. A literal retard.

  • Get a life you shit stain. You're not worthy of eating the shit out of their toilet.

  • what the hell is wrong with people on these boards... this music obviously isn't for everyone, if someone hates them don't get all immature about it

  • he didn't have to express his hate in such an ignorant way. He could have just said "This music just isn't for me" and took off. That would have been acceptable. "Shits garbage" is rude and insulting to the people who like this band.

  • but then of course you get people calling him retarded and something about eating shit out of a toilet, blatantly sinking to his level. people just need to quit blowing little shit out of proportion.

  • Jesus, this band is the best. I wish there drummer would get a beter set. To bad he aint in this band anymore

  • How do you pronounce Tera Melos? Sorry dumb question but i love these guys and I want to ask my guitar teacher about them and NOT sound like an idiot.

  • tair-uh-mel-ohs

  • Tear-Uh-May-Los (los like the spanish word)

  • I think its pronounced tair-uh-mel-ohs like

    KuatoLives says.

    At least thats how the band said it. But if said fast mel-ohs and may-los sound pretty similar.

  • Nie, no zajebiste to jest.

  • they're really good musicians, you can tell that by the style they are playing in, but it comes off disjointed... if they played with a bit more structure, i could start to like this band

  • The Idea is that it's supposed to feel unsettling, It's not supposed to just be super straight forward, and there is hardcore structure. It's just not four four four four four for ever.

  • the beauty I find in this band is that they never perform a song the same way twice. sure important parts of the song will remain, for the most part, untouched, but everything else is an utter expression of the now and conveys to the listner how the guys think the song should sound right now, not how it sounded months ago when it was recorded or when they first played it, how they want it right now. that's how I see it and would like to hope that's how they see it. but, ya know, to each his own
