[broadcast666this]

[Mrarnaud733]

does anyone knows the mic standing on the desk?? thanks in advance!

[TheMichaRed]

764amc. Dont worry buddy. You grow up one day and realize. Music is whatever you want it to be. Thats the beauty of it. Stop analyzing everyone. And enjoy it

[santoilcimbro]

love

[luc07ry]

Beards, they kick ass.



[BrianHR100]

doors ans te velvet underground more i think mrgungho, but then again a lot of riffs taken from an already well unknown band the black keys. but with more a flourescent light bulb feel atmosphere too them

[mrgungho]

doors and brian jonestown massacre

[Harter2142]

I'd love to hear them play Empire live, it's my favorite song!

[MyCreativeCreation]

like it :)

[itsmedude1020]

I like it better when a band doesn't blast their music so loud that you can't hear the dynamics.

[DylanPea]

what effects is he using on the mic?

[BrianHR100]

Thumbs up if you thought Hyde from that 70's show was on Guitar :P

[aruthuran]

the guitarist looks like a complete badass

[91mperez]

I accidentally pushed dislike, not to worry though it's just these damn smartphones. Great band and radio station.

[fireseek7]

no beat? this is not rap! idjuts! definitely rythmic. ever heard of iron and wine? john butler trio? some of the best music out there! Music theory and composition? are you trying to sound smart? these guys don't use theories in their music so its not music?! you are dumb. composition? do you even know the meaning of this word. trust me...they composed their music. dumbass. lol. its very simple. Like to see you do better! dumbass. haha...whoever you are...i like calling you a dumbass. Dumbass.

[LSUsuperBuick]

ehhh...the guitar riffs were simple and average at best. and the second song was just not on a beat.

[wonderchop]

@LSUsuperBuick That's what makes it good. Not all music has to flow like a pop song, or shred like Paul Gilbert!

[764amc08]

@LSUsuperBuick Who says it has to be on a beat. plus guitar riffs dont make a great song. You could shred like the devil and play shit music.

[LSUsuperBuick]

@764amc08 Yes kid i'm not saying it has to be complicated and shitty(like metal) but if you don't even have an ACTUAL beat then it can't even be considered music. All you post-modern kids have stripped music of its bases and say that "whatever you feel" is what music is. That's false, music theory and composition was created for a reason, and these guys don't use it.

[Neeklam]

@LSUsuperBuick

lol.

[benjmwoodard]

@LSUsuperBuick For someone who talks about not knowing music theory you don't know much yourself. Its not like they just don't have a beat; they are playing syncopated rhythms.

[gatoradelank]

@LSUsuperBuick zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­....................

[f4eazrael]

@LSUsuperBuick there is a beat, music theory is how they explain what sounds good if you get trained in music they teach you all the rules then they teach you how to break them all music very much is how you feel its an expression, if you dont like it or you cant "feel it" doesnt make it bad doesnt make it not music just merely means you cant relate to it. and as for the guitar riffs being simple well the most memorable riffs are the simplest. you seem to have a narrow perception on wat music is

[capbubba]

That was a little weird taking the guitar away from the guitarist and making him just sit there but who know's maybe he could not handle the cord progression :-D otherwise liked the sound now bring on the free love LOL.

[trippw10]

this is badass



[05soltom]

the first verse just destroyed the possibility of a 'dislike'

[xtelevisionset]

I drive on I - 45 every day.

[carrolly2k]

Excellent!!!!!

[jaksspring97]

i'm not liking the sound fx on the mic.  too bad that's their entire schtick.

[cmstar0]

Awesome song. However, notice the acoustic version of Bad Vibrations is basically the desert them music to Super Mario Brothers 3 ...win-win

[onehapaboy]

look up the word "contraption" and you'll see a picture of the thing that guy on the right is playing.

[paintballguy113]

DAMN

[aimemoria]

Sounds like a mix between The Doors and 16 Horsepower.

[Yumgetsum]

Absolutely bad ass.

[ekzoekzo]

fantastic!

[wassupdoc319]

They all look angry ha

[sillygoose169]

this band is fantastic and the singer has such a great voice, very haunting and beautiful.

[xlikwidx]

what an angry guitarist. good music otherwise.

[CAl3vara]

Hauntingly awesome. I feel like I should be walking down a dusty bombed out road with just a gun on my shoulder and my dog at my heels.
