The Human Abstract - "Polaris" (live '07)

[ivemetthedevil88]

Definitely NOT EMO!!!!!! Not the Nocturne album anyways ! Metal Progressive is more like it

[xScreamToRisex]

this song is so amazing.

[symphonyxftw]

The quality of this video is not good

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I guarantee you Nathans vocal's are fixed in the studio..

[Burnboy85]

Just like when all that reamains does this calling. The clean vocals suck live :)

[StewieSwan]

Doubt it. He's rather off-pitch in lots of the studio stuff too. The chorus in Vela for example.

[f88888888]

Dropped C and D Standard are only one string apart, you can just tune by ear it only takes 5 seconds

[MetalManJrod]

i play vela in drop C and its much easier than D standard

[KSEunofficial]

@MetalManJrod You cant play vela in D standard their is are C chords in the beginning and many more in the breakdowns

[clwnz777]

@KSEunofficial

What this guy said.

You can't play Vela on D. You don't have the low C note you have on Drop C for the chords...

[andrewnoon]

Maybe check your exposure next time before you "film and capture" stuff.

[WoWfan2345]

If this is march 13 thats cool my Bday

[Rubo41]

...they play amazing..but what the fuck hapens to the voice?....its like...fuck..shit!

[dtrojan60]

d standard

[xSoothsayer]

It's definitely D standard.

[Spwee1494Halo]

Its fucking drop C

[1R9C9W5]

i playing the song on my guitar its D standard you flaming fuck

[Wontu3]

yeah its d standard, the band put said it themselves

[JordanUH]

some of their songs eg vela together.. are in drop c, but others like this and crossing the rubicon are in D standard

[7heory777]

yeah the crossing the rubicon arpeggios give it away doesn't it?

[mastergabberschlong]

You guys are technically both right. Drop C and D standard are exactly the same thing asides from the top heavy string. Human abstract stuff can be played in either, its generally just easier in Drop C

[halareis]

@mastergabberschlong

yes, two frets to the right, its the same and its easier :D

[SickHypnotize]

you need to capture your videos with better quality

[Kamane13]

The singer does sound bad the quality of the video is not so great and from what I can hear he sounds good as he does in the album

[yoyowazzap]

WTH is wrong with the vocalist.. sounds like his pregnant...

this song is better when its not live

[yoyowazzap]

WTH is wrong with the vocalist.. sounds like his pregnant...

this song is better when its not live

[mattprit]

i thought it was C,G,C,F,A,D as the tuning

[chinderr]

It is. If anyone tells you different, shoot them. They are wrong. I learned all their songs by ear, in C tuning.

[Giyermo44]

Its A shame...i can not hear the voice....heyyy why you put asa a tag the tag "emo"...fuckk!!! they are not emoo!!!..they are metal/progressive..!!!!

[cdahl]

Cuz of the pitched yelling and the tight pants and shirts. :)

[Demon1Pwner]

Do you have even the slightest idea of what emo means?

If they were emo they'd be singing gay heartbreak songs.

[cdahl]

He sounds and looks exactly like Jason Gleason from Further Seems Forever. But I guess you don't think they are emo either...

[prjordan]

if you think is emo then you have no idea what you are talking about.

if you wanna label the band in a genre, then it would be mathcore.

[redriverhautbois]

@cdahl Emo means emotional. Music like Thursday or Sunny Day Real Estate (both great bands), that is emo. This is metal, if you can't tell the difference in lyrics and tone then you fail as a listener.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Lol the singer does so bad live

[redneckchilipep]

what tunings do these guys use? is it all drop D? or lower equivalents?

[stropheum]

standard muthafucka

[redneckchilipep]

that's surprising. thanks.

[WillZilla1012]

D standard.... dumbass

[ohwhatacereal]

its down 1 half step on this song

[wayneisthesex]

D

A

D

C

G

D

i swear

[faekz]

You are close its STandard D...

Low is D, G, C, F, A, D High

Carefull when tunning your guitar that low you have to adjust the trem springs and action use .10s pain in the ass better to have two guitars lol

[TheOnlyxOne88]

only for this song though. They usually play in drop C, which is D standard just with the D a C

[WillZilla1012]

yea i know..... i play bass... and i checked

[chinderr]

This song is in C as well... I play it along in C and it sounds exact.

[chinderr]

They play in drop C! I'm tired of hearing n00bs say different.

[TheOnlyxOne88]

I hope you're not refering to me, cause if you're calling me a n00b you're a fucking idiot.

The key is different than the tuning for Polaris, so learn music theory before calling me a noob, dipshit.

[chinderr]

I definitely wasn't referring to you. It was to the people like AznBorderhop and yes, I have learned music theory so don't get all defensive when I wasn't even directing my n00b claim at you, asshole. Why would you think I meant you? Cause youtube is unorganized with it's comments?

[TheOnlyxOne88]

My apologies. You're right, youtube needs to get their shit together with these comments lol. Again, sorry man

[chinderr]

Haha. For sure.

[AznBorderhop]

This song is in D standard tuning (DGCFAD) Its almost the same as Drop C tuning except the first string is a D, not a C. You're close chinderr, but not right.

[chinderr]

Weird. I swear I learned it by ear and I play it in CGCFAD. Ha. I guess I never noticed I use the low C. It seemed very awkward to play the way I learned it.

Thank You!!!

[AznBorderhop]

I'm pretty sure this song is in D standard tuning, not drop C.

[Rodriguito123456]

this song is fucking fun to play

[sharkbait2712]

Yea man, I agree. That's how I felt about a7x's City of Evil....I kept saying...they're not gonna top themselves. hahaha. yet, i'm still impressed with their new one. So I can't wait to see THA's sophomore album.

[Jayfire]

Avenged Sevenfold have never topped their previous albums with the more recent release, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is their best album, then waking the fallen, city of evil and the self-titled album are comparatively very poor

[spacitydrummer4JC]

How are they going to top the "Nocturne" album?

I can't wait to see what they come up with.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

This Is my favorite song on the album

[00metalhead00]

I like them w/ the old singer better. the new ones alright...

[superbwlthirty1]

the old singer really wasn't that good. PLUS he was an asshole didn't get along with the rest of the band. can't wait to hear their new album!

[dylanrayrussell]

i would like better sound... but hey... THA is still teh best ever

[Ultradeth5]

i saw these guys today they're fuckin sick!!!

[peeweesherman]

to the "life" my bad.

[peeweesherman]

I dont know if they could be any better? "to the light that beckons us"

[AndrewHorror]

nathans the shit

[hellashes]

bad quality, but at least I can hear the guitars in this video. THA are gods.

[ryanlali]

low quality really low

[rockzero18]

Miss the old singer...he was better

[disturbed0005]

there was another singer?? did he ever make any music on a cd or ep or something i could listen to?

[fullmetalocalypse458]

they used him on there demo

[disturbed0005]

which would be next to impossible to find right?

[f0rallthes1n]

you can find it online, new singer is way better though. old songs : meperidine cathedral (now movement frmo discord), winter fevers (now polaris), memento mori, the science of deduction

[disturbed0005]

ya winter fevers i know that one. its so much better than polaris!

[TheOnlyxOne88]

no way, polaris is so much better, lyrically and quality wise

[TheOnlyxOne88]

well thats not kissing ass or anything.

i mean, unless youre brett powell or nathan ells or something, haha, that would be a different story

[polkx]

i love this song, but you cant hear it too well in this video

[gershonhopster]

wow, nice solo at the end...crappy sound q. tho

[0001514]

Intense...
