Massive Attack - United Snakes

[spacetraveller2521]

united snakes.. haha, love the title! I love how they are refering to the united states/united kingdom I wish I can see them live again they are fucking awesome!!

[Valgarv100]

amazing song, massive attack is the best band of the world !!!!! fuck !!!!!!

[Hugo411]

Album Title Anagram: a god in hell.

[vakama94]

so this is Trip hop huh? it sounds really awesome

[12345l6789]

@vakama94 try some portishead for some of the darker shit

[vakama94]

@12345l6789 i´ve heard some portishead, it´s...wierd, can you recommend any other artist?

[12345l6789]

@vakama94 There's loads of it about, but most of it is rather underground. In my opinion, a few Radiohead tracks lean this way a little bit, and even some very early Elbow tracks too. Also, try some proper hip hop as well - bot commercial rubbish, but try the likes of MF DOOM or Cannibal Ox.

[RKae858]

@vakama94 may i suggest Zero7, Air, Morcheeba, Hooverphonic, Mono, Martina Topley-Bird and UNKLE, for starters. I love Portishead. I have all three studio albums, the live album, the live dvd, two shirts and a mug. hahah

[Disposition446]

@vakama94 no because your not open minded enough. OK OK go for moodorama.

[walterezo]

@vakama94 FAITHLESS!

[samuelgreen1]

i prefer a flan

[samuelgreen1]

i like it. its good, or some might say...'very great'

[samuelgreen1]

fuck off benders

[Myrskism]

one of my favourite songs ever

[AbnoCreations]

This song seems to indicate, strictly because of its title, that it's only the United States that contains the bad apples. When the truth is, that bad apples, are all over the globe.

Think of Earth, as a big skull with a snake crawling in and our of it. And the remaining pieces of skin, marrow, nerves, and flesh are representative of the only decent humans still left on Earth, who simply try to get ahead, progress, and be happy based on means that don't destroy anyone else's happiness.

[AbnoCreations]

Wait wait. Which freakin album is this song on???

[smailsnail]

@AbnoCreations deluxe edition of Heligoland

[ivokio]

I didnt knew this song, n starts the concert with this + a weed = went to the moon and back!!!

[AbnoCreations]

@ivokio Totally there with ya dude. They did the same thing when I went to their concert for the first time in my life. Started with this shit, and I'm like. "Oh? Wow!!"

[engradd]

zaciemnienie londynu!

[exitmusicforthefilms]

Saw them play at Moog-Fest on OCt 30th

I was so happy i got to see them, I drove 6 hours and it was entirely worth it because they never come that close to me

they opened with this

[asaye83]

Massive opened with this at the Dallas, TX show, 11-1-10. I agree with the others, when this show is performed live, the shear energy of the crowd and volume of the music is able to beat your heart and mind into a completely submissive and euphoric state.

Much <3 to Massive Attack.

[DoesThisNameWorkYet]

They played this in Vancouver this past year, dope track. They're even better live than they are recorded. Plus, Del Naja's first comment on-stage at that event: "Sorry we're late, the stuff you've got here is a bit stronger than we're used to" - talking about BC Bud xD

[SithCelia]

I just got "Heligoland" and this one's not on there. Is it on some special version of the cd that I couldn't find at a local mall in MD? I love this tune! Want more, dammit!

[deerenee212]

awesome live!!!!



[tdavison1]

can the lyrics be found anywhere?

[ce12629]

To jumpin4smoke: This song was previously a B-side of "False Flags", also a song from "Heligoland" Deluxe Edition (bonus tracks featured on iTunes).

[SithCelia]

@ce12629 I see, a deluxe edition. I was so anxious to get the new cd before I attempted to go to one of their shows here on the east coast. Is there any other way to get a hold of this if I don't have access to an Ipod (yet) or Itunes?

[independenzavideos]

that's a killer track ! we go on that way

[jumpin4smoke]

great song, awesome. can someone tell me is this song from some EP... beacuse i know it s not from heligoland album....?

[adj789]

fuckin' dope track yo

[akmad64]

This song is the fucking bomb!!!!!!!

[xCokeAColax]

This was their first song played at the Malkin Bowl at their concert in Vancouver. It was amazing to listen to with the lights, I'll be posting up a video of it shortly when I combine all the short clips together! Great song!

[darkjedi327]

@xCokeAColax  It was also the first song in Belgrade... I belive they started all their Heligoland concenters with this song

[toolslave]

Saw them perform this on Jimmy Kimmel last night. It was AWESOME!

[sexysuzy1]

one of my favorites.......

[cymbeli]

lucky Canadians...I wish I could see them

[lpycb42]

Listening to this song live is UNBELIEVABLE. Eargasm.

[zedosix]

saw them sunday toronto, blew me away, this song and all were over the top. Just amazing, no words to describe how I felt. Like being stoned without being stoned?

[Burrill25]

Saw them in Toronto on Friday night, they opened with this song...the sound was amazing

[XxTheeHeadXx]

Hell yea! This song is awesome. Can't wait to catch them at the Wiltern! Anyone have this song? I would love to have it.

[dano555666]

I saw them in brisbane, I was right up the front, so your always gunna have an amazing experience, but literally, with or without that, best concert I've seen.

We even had 2 kookaburras sitting atop the light setup the entire show, Naja noted this to everyone how they were a lovely couple then they played Karmacoma because of them. The birds also gave a loud call right before the show started. Was eerie, and amazing.

[iDiggMGL]

This song sounds CRAZY with surround sound!!!!!

[dano555666]

@iDiggMGL sounds even better live. Can you say 2 drumkits on either side of you?

[norfsidemasiv]

ahh wish i hadn't spent ages trying to find the recorded version now. heard it for the first time at the sydney show and it was so epic, this is alright...

[MrKrizdj]

Super Track, whit this one they open also the concert in Mexico city, The best concert of my life !

[JonnyThursday5]

Yep - the Perth concert in King's Park was the best gig I've been to in a long, long time. The sound was the best quality! Thanks Massive for coming to Western Australia again!

[robjankatie]

Yep, I was at the Perth show, Never heard this song until then, I was stunned (and stone cold sober, sometimes you only need the music!)

[takfs128]

Yeah baby, this was the opening song at the Perth concert last night.

Massive Attack were incredible. Best concert I have seen for a long time.

[blacKkxXx]

heligoland; legend album,, all songs are great ...

[iDiggMGL]

That's for SURE!!!! Legend album, indeed.

[Disposition446]

@blacKkxXx but this isnt on heligo land. or any of their lp's...

[jbauer72]

@Disposition446 Exactly. Because HEGLIOLAND sucked. The only CD of theirs I've not bought because I previewed all the songs first and they were a drag.

[Disposition446]

@jbauer72 same here i dont own it either. i have all the other cd's though.

[tomasmccann]

@Disposition446 It's actually on the 3 vinyl box set special edition of heligoland, along with another rather soothing song and two remixes. So happy to have bought it. This was also the opening song at the heineken jammin festival last year, way cool

[stfnrccrd]

yea. this is the sound!

[zone1480]

I was hoping they were going to go this route with the new album also.

[stfnrccrd]

this is should be on an Album...!!! Really great song...much better than what's in Heligoland!

[ConvexSpade]

@stfnrccrd It's included in the Deluxe version of Heligoland.

[iDiggMGL]

This is on the Heligoland album (Deluxe Edition).

[amarsbarr]

lovely song

[JoeV3ctor]

Massive Attack is a pretty cool guy. eh makes awesome music and doesn't afraid of anything!

[TheMartbc]

OMG!!!!once accidently i've listen that on the radio, since that time i was lookig for that song!!! thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

[smoothboi15]

New album out february 8th. Ten songs including three from Splitting the atom. The usual collaborators eg. Damon Albarn, Horace andy. And Martina T B and Guy Garvey. The guys from splitting the atom. Should be good.

[Kokosnuss]
