[clifton250]

[MaSoisSoful]

1:19....I'm sure that's John Frusciante.

[ElJefeUltimo]

@MaSoisSoful doesn't look like him at all haha

[riceboy287]

I just love the pulse thomas adds to the song, and love the whole bands like jazzy rock mysteriousness too it

[diykidsfl]

[vovadrama]

Nice tune. Glad Pridgen's now hanging out with bros, no bores anymore.

[ezt123dp]

[sumstufflol]

[vovadrama]

@sumstufflol No.

[stixxandstones]

This is rock music at it's best. Pure energy!! I love it, Thomas and co... I'll be spreading the word about this group. Keep the creativity in music!!

[Sant182]

[7fockyou]

[saltytsp]

WEEEESSSTTT SSIIIDE!!!! 

[ImaFez]

shit, im starting to like the memorials more than the mars volta. damn thomas. ur doing a fucken good ass job worken this band!

[Memorials4U]

Memorials of Faith is a beautiful and powerful way to honor a lost loved one. Personalized with eulogies, condolences, candles, photos, music and more, these websites are a permanent way to share memories with family and friends from anywhere in the world.

[PoeticJustice05]

@Memorials4U When you people post random shit on videos like this, does it ever work out for you?

[CrispyXR]

is that john Frusciante at 1:18 ?? i swear it is!

[tiggiy]

@CrispyXR naww. he looks similar tho

[Carnane]

@tiggiy More than similar, that guy just IS Frusciante.

Which would make sense, considering he's friends with the Volta guys, probably including Pridgen.

[tiggiy]

@Carnane Really? Just look closer. I swear its not him. I know John to well.

[elborimex]

@tiggiy you're right that guy is not frusciante

[BryanDreads]

@Carnane

i made this video

that is not john frusciante, that is Brad Thomas Ackley

he used to second guitar in The Memorials now he plays with Uh Huh Her

[SomeGuyWithABucket]

HOORAY FOR WEED

[spanky8473]

Awesome video, awesome song you guys are fuckin awesome. Thomas pridgen is one of the best drummers out there right now.

[bowlingdude5876]

I have that exact same ODB shirt.

[lyfenlyn]

too bad they are all weed heads

[TheDucciano]

@lyfenlyn

Not that being a weed head is bad in and of itself, but I personally know one member

intimately and he is not a pot head at all. Just because the song references smoking

Mary Jane doesn't mean that the band is comprised of pot heads.

[thedarkportrait]

I love this band!!!!!!! They're so good. How long have these dudes been around anyway?

[mwcafac91]

@thedarkportrait They formed Dec. 2009, when the drummer left The Mars Volta :D

[12toedfeet]

Is that John Frusciante at 1:19? It looks very much like him.

[KickSteady]

come to greensboro NC!!!! i know you see my comments. make that shit happen playa 

[efvio]

[marsvolta1386]

[NoahIceDrums]

[JStoneDrums]

Counting down the days now.....

[byfactorise]

~fellow musician. ~Alex Garrett~ =^)

[martianluther]

BEST VIDEO...Period

[LonelliCyd09]

I love how this song is basically centered around a Steve Gadd fill. A wicked TP executed Steve Gadd Aja fill.

[SuperWarpath]

Thomas Pridgen is one insane Drummer. 

[Skylinegtr701]

Good Deal!

[juanpablo1990mx2]

1:57 Zach Hill? D:

that guy is like everywhere good music is goddamn!

[kevinlarga]

Beast band glad i found out about you guys like 20mins ago from JLV page lol. cant want to see you guys live hopefully you come somewhere near me.

[smokeyandcraig]

@kevinlarga all of the best bands ive found have been from opening acts and coheadliners. its kinda funny.

going to concerts is way better than listening to the radio for sure.

[kevinlarga]

@smokeyandcraig yeah i know what you mean i found envy on the coast going to the TOFT concert 

[tsobaby95]

I love this fuckkin song and the musics amazing btw MEMORIALS RULEEEEE

[andydogz2000]

man i wish i could get some lessons from Pridgen where i live we have no good drummers to learn from. all of the drummers here are 4/4 timing country and rock beats i need some of that soul funk and gospel all in all good drumming. please if anyone around the western Maryland area can show me some chops hit me up.

[TheDallyLama]

wait so theres a white guy in the band now? playin bass? lol

[Skylinegtr701]

Hmmm, big fan of Thomas so I'll look foward to the release of the album. As for this song, it goes pretty hard in the paint if I may say so myself.

[residentdrummerpete]

this is awesome! happy birthday thomas!

[roguechedder84]

[Drumfusions]

Oh Thomas, you disappoint me...

[byLivio]

@Drumfusions What?!!Why dude?

[Georgelogan]

@byLivio haha fuck the turd burglar, its obvious hes not having fun !

[stillphil]

@Drumfusions Drumfusions why bruh ? He's having a great time, and he's expanding his audience. When was the last time you heard a PARTY RECORD with BALLS in Seven!?? This is hot my dude, he might disappoint you but it made my day.

[Drumfusions]

@stillphil Hey people don't get me wrong! I love the music, the feeling... I do love Thomas playing and sure he's an influence to me. But I don't believe in that "smoke and be happy" message. But hey, that's me! :)

Peace!

[stillphil]

@Drumfusions oh ok. I respect that. I was enjoying the music and forgot about "The Youth". Good point. I'm grown so I look at it differently I sometimes forget how kids see things.

But I'll be damned if this song doesn't kick all kindsa ass.

[Drumfusions]

@stillphil Sure does! The music is hoooooooot! :)

Peace everyone!

[Bozkicksyourface]

Can't get enough of this shit.

[thundermorphine]
