Vast "Free"

[kokalols]

0:03 George Lopez...haha

[cseeger1]

Great song, stupid fucking video. I'm sure the band looks back at this and thinks, wtf did they make us do?

[dandanjanett1]

JON YOU ARE HOT!!!WHAT A VOICE!!!

[LuvCartoons]

The symbolism I am seeing in this video is amazing

[AusNav09]

also an epic guitar water slap at :26

[AusNav09]

RIP john.

[dandanjanett1]

VAST IS FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!!!!

[LaithAmekir]

All I could think of when I watched this was "Where is my +5 vorpal longsword! I must slay these spiders!"

[joesg2]

First heard this song on Roswell series

[dryice100]

i've loved this song for years and always will. for freedom :)

[sapphirebaby96]

my mom yelled at me for forgetting to do the dishes while this was playing...

[irenelotus1]

Im going to simply say im in fucking love with this band!!!!!!!!!!!! I can listen to song after song with out skipping one..

[TheJaysrock1]

the reason VAST is not as big as they should be is simply because of the recording studios!!!!

[SpectacledAmphibian]

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going...

[lordnipple]

Ok, why isn't this in some movie sountrack for some ball-out action scene??

We need to get the director of Watchmen aware of this....but not for Sucker Punch II or anything, just because this would suit his style...

[IoriYagami666]

i remember this video being on MTVX i miss those days

[fishinwithguns]

man...I like the song and everything, but there's no denying they went downhill after the first album and that this video is incredibly lame...Pretty When You Cry is like one of the best music videos of all time...but then this? Why the hell are they dressed like that? I can't watch it...it's gonna make me hate the song.

[RyleeStrange]

Does anyone know where to get this version of the song? The drum production, and the end differ greatly from the record.

[argh698]

Imo,this song should be the atheist anthem.

[thevoid99]

man, i haven't seen that video in years. it still freaks me out.

[jeweler3161]

One of the greatest videos ever. Props to these guys for their ingenuity.

[MrAp0calypse]

Great song that in some form or fasion everyone can relate to.

[madammacphisto]

Lol at a bunch of guys playing electric guitar while standing waist-deep in water.

[olie4054]

Out off all of the of songs that i've heard throughout me life, this is the only one where when it gets past the 3 minute mark, im like whaaaat?

never has that been 3 minutes, its such a good song :D

[violinscry]

@ Dandanjanett they are. They've been around for years

[dandanjanett1]

WHY IN THE HELL ISN'T VAST A HUGE SUCCESS!!!???

[MrNewpants]

@dandanjanett1 because labels only promote bands that sell and vast is one of those bands that just gets downloaded. that's pretty much the reason we only got lady gaga, justin bieber and shit like that on the air, little girls are the only ones buying albums anymore. if it can't be marketed to kids who can ask they're mothers to buy an album it's not worth marketing at all. same reason why good bands have to sell out, they have to eat too.

[barb7124]

@dandanjanett1 They are huge amongst their loyal fans, but this is real music...not the pop crap aka selena and justin. I don't think the world can handle the REAL music.

[dandanjanett1]

JON YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND VOICE IS GREAT

[memo2memo500]

YOU CAN'T TELL ME NOT TO TEAR THE PLAY BUTTON ANY MORE

[tregore2000]

Do any of you even remember what Much music channel was?

[dandanjanett1]

WHY VAST IS NOT THE BIGGEST BAND AROUND WELL I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!! THEY ARE GREAT! JON I LOVE YOU!

[dandanjanett1]

WHY VAST IS NOT THE BIGGEST BAND AROUND I JUST DON'T GET THEY ARE FUCKING GREAT!!JON I LOVE YOU!!!

[gavinsaint]

The first song I heard from VAST many years ago. I think they played it on Kerrang TV.

[annita645]

love it !

[JasonBrazen]

My HS graduation theme. I fell in love with this song that year.

[JenaraS]

This song brings back memories, reminds me of a breakup, freedom, "You can't tell what to do anymore..."

[thornmallow1]

Keep in mind If he is wearing waders it is a VERY good idea with those instuments in the water. Remember water and electrical equiptment do not mix. Also it takes at least a whole day depending on the video made, to shoot so wearing water proof clothing during a watery shoot is not such a bad idea!

[RyleeStrange]

Is it just me or is the video mix of the song FAR more interesting than the one that made the final cut of Music for People.

[AlexanderPartridge]

hahaha is he wearing waders?! didnt wanna get his jeans wet!!

[hales463]

@AlexanderPartridge hahaha hillarious

[lilBrattycat]

@AlexanderPartridge If you had paid attention to the other musicians in the video you would have noticed they are ALL wearing waders...but it seems you only had eyes for Jon. Hmmmm? LOL

[FockCopyrights]

31 people were rape by spiders.

[mattisgod1234]

I remember the first time I saw this video, it's what turned me onto vast. It actually had a spot on MTV at like 3 am. I use to stay up just to hopefully hear it. Vast is amazing,

I hate spiders though =\

[FockCopyrights]

@mattisgod1234

Yeah, back when MTV was about real music.

[shan1107]

Vast fucking rules!

[reddalways]

Spiders are creepy....

[blodachia]

This is the perfect song for kids who want to move out of their parents house,or for those who are tired of working at jobs that they hate and want to go on to greener pastures.

[adonis699]

@blodachia also for manic girlfriends poisoning a dude's life!

[808makai]

I am sooooo caught up in the VASTness of it ALL.... I am RAW!

[808makai]

I am sooooo caught up in the VASTness of it ALL....

[Metal1998]

very 90's

[thyczko2]

if you like vast listen to placebo or my fav midnight oil

[jetsonic69]

Nice Fender Jazzmaster guitar :) Vast Rocks on

TIME TO GET FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EE

[jasonbourneabc123]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>>> BOOOM

[TheFlowersKillers]

I must confess I'm addicted to this song :)

[wallcrawler32]

wasn't free written by the vines?

[TheFlowersKillers]

unusual sound...but still great :D

[flashvlad]

vast imba !

[zillsburyy]

there only good song

[818creature]

@zillsburyy no way.its one of THEIR many amazing songs.

[TheMamaButterfly]

k....that ROCKED me...

[666Sgt666]

first time i've heard of this band and they're good :)

[sully9088]

@DyingGodMadeFlesh, Jon Crosby had a chance to take it mainstream but he didn't want that, he wanted to keep it underground. And you're right about it not satisfying the masses. I tried to get my friends to listen to VAST but they won't. It's something I'll never understand. What I do know is that no other music can make me feel the way VAST makes me feel. It's so freaking great!! I feel like my collection of VAST songs are my secret treasures that nobody knows about!

[broli28]

@sully9088 AMEN dude. Great Band and a great song.

[LeshaAnn]

@sully9088 If John Crosby/VAST had the "chance to take it mainstream but...wanted to keep it underground," like you claim, then why would he agree to be in these VERY expensive promos / music videos, AND let the record company stylist dress him up like a total TOOL?! Don't get me wrong, I L-O-V-E the music, but I am embarrased for him when I see the look he is sportin' here; SO not him!

[mukmewx]

@LeshaAnn sully 9088 is right read about it

[LeshaAnn]

@mukmewx Okay, "read about it" where? What search terms should I use, "Musician doesn't 'make it,' Claims he never wanted to ANYWAY'??

[Teskus]

@sully9088 I think "Ditto" is the only thing I can come up with. You said it all right there.

[neworder36]

Jon nearly drowned making this video. True story.

[krazynite]

Criminally Underated!!!!!! :(

[jasonbourneabc123]

If You Call 202.- 456.- 1111 and tell them YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO ANYMORE! You will be free!

[jasonbourneabc123]

Call 202-456-1111 and tell them what you think!

[JackyBRyant25]

Oh, FucK YEAH!!!!! Kicks so MUCH a s s. *Vast is rahsOMe*

[nedswebjunk]

I am sooooooooo going to have this song blasting from a Marshall stack at my funeral:)

[thislovejode]

remenber 2000 , yeah new metal consolidetion

[ESOTERICARL]

To me this song is breaking free of an addiction and how liberating that is. Great song!

[hundhun17]

Sounds like Echo ad the Bunnymen 

[MissLisboa1982]

@hundhun17 OMG!! Are you kidding me??? Nothing at all!!!! 0_0 (I'm not saying this in a bad way but honey, it has NOTHING to do with E&TB! I'm still shocked at your comment!)

[kingpab]

been a while since i listened to vast... forgot how amzing it is

[pipilanstrum77]

me encanta

[Edd25164605]

love it !

[XvenombloodX]

I just found this group n there fkn awesome I love them. I've listened to there songs about 100 times so far.. it's if they read my mind with each n every song great group. how long have they been around?

[detectivekornfed]

@XvenombloodX, Jon Crosby has been a self-taught musician since his childhood in Northern CA, and his first album, Visual Audio Sensory Theater, was released in 1998. VAST's official website is realvast.com, and they are one of my favorite bands Ü .

[Parreiras123]

these guys should come to Brazil

[neworder36]

OH YEA!!! IT'S TIME TO BE WHAT I NEED TO BE!

[FatherLucho]

Great band, amazing song....but the videos for Crosby's songs tend to be retarded.

[isaacnelson1234]

@FatherLucho couldent agree more!

[laquecha300]

simplemente de huevos!!!! esta rola ocasiona una leve vibracion de sensatez

[thyczko2]

played this video when i left home and got my first real apartment

[anjani4000]

nice style :-)

[optimusumitpo]

how come these guys weren't BIGGER?? great records, man.

[SepulSlay]

THE BEST BAND EVER !!! I LOVE YOU GUYS, YOU NEVER FAINT, YOU ARE RELIGION ! VAST VAST VAST :):):)

[uberschnepp]

Car hits the water, instant explosion.

[Indepthreview]

Absolutely fucking kickin..............and I'm 50 LOL

[Palmiuxxx]

great song ,

[PhychadelicRose]

This is by far their best song!! I love it.

[dw3wt]

Absolutely love it!! Last seen ten years ago...Always have been searchin but couldn't remember the band. Today by chance. Unbelievable!! Thanks for the upload

[LittleRose547]

Their videos are always so good... and their music.

[zizuto]

it's the best song about freedom for me! brilliant!

[mmcytb]

too many alternativenbands focus on being 'raw' and 'stripped back' these days

bands like VAST and nine inch nails are so much better than the rest because they tend to go full out on production and aim for a more epic sound - its a truly moving piece of music

[profeshpanhandlr]

this song sum's life's bullshit up in just over 3 minutes.

[PyroSlag]

Pshhh, I'm just glad to have seen Jon Crosby, musical//lyrical genius for the first time. Yeah, video is eh. But VAST has easily become my favorite band as of a few months back; stoked to read up on them and find disssss :DD

[r0ckg0dproductions]

one of the best bands out there hands down!!

[TheXmisfitx]

This song describes exactly how i feel right now, i wanna break free from everything and every1, i wanna start over new.

[mattdoubleu1]

@TheXmisfitx fkin emo

[CrossfireVentSAS]

@TheXmisfitx Thats not what the songs about... its about when they break free from the record companys and can make any music they want... noob

[hellchild65]

@CrossfireVentSAS im pretty sure it can be interpreted a number of ways, a relationship, record companies, escaping a shitty town, a bad job

[CrossfireVentSAS]

@hellchild65 Yeah true it can be this and I can see why you'd think this, but yeah the band actually said that this is what its about lol,

[knetichen]

@heero815

you´re right I´m feeling the same way...but it´s a bit like braveheart, isn´t it ;)

[whoiscuriousgeorge]

Rockage.  I like very much :D

[tehkevxor1983]

I wouldn't call this a crappy video, just a very dated one. It's obvious to tell this is from the mid-nineties.

[Lunacyk]

about 99 or early 2000.

[WiNDiR666]

wow great song... recuerdo esta cancion en mis primeros dias de BMX-ER

[zackpliskin]

I can't feel the video either, but that's probably because I'm only able to see and hear it. ;) ;)

There's a goddamn JAZZMASTER in this video. Can't believe it.

[minxy123able]

To residentgarx and all the family : Here you go, from CHRIS MY SISTER AND ME !!!

[phuquk]

Shite song, shite video

[zackpliskin]

Shite comment. :p

[ecstatica23]

cool song, crapy video

[marlonshadoolivaresn]

did someone noticed that the intro it's quite similar to ac/dc - back in black?

[kafelnikov17]

love that fkin line.. "you can't tell me what do do anymore!"

[neworder36]

I see my daughter used my account to make a comment. Yea, I knew Jon for a long time. He is American. He almost drowned making this video...

[sabrinaellis77]

This is a great "fuck you" song!

[neworder36]

not British. ive met him personally and my mom(which this is her account) got me into them,and they were friends for a while. so no American. (haha i thought that at first too.:P)

[cloudbuster66]

im british,but i think these are american,anyhoo great sound,

[ohheyymeriii93]

are they british?

[jfk35824]

which album of theirs/his is this track on pls?

[Jules38Tx]

Music For People

[marchantfife]

music for the people

[neworder36]

"Free" comes from his second album called "Music for People".

[jayjames1978]

my favorite song hands down

[TheOazero68]

this song is fucking amazing<<<<<

[theairyaquarius]

This song brings back memories.  I freaking love this song! :D

[18daniel]

The chained bag is high school, the vines are college and the spider web is work followed by retirement (when you're already dead)

[plurna]

Have you ever heard the song "Birth School Work Death" by the Godfathers? Works along the same lines.

[BohemianTaco]

Oh man I remember this song from way back when it was first released. And this video... it always creeps me out, yet I feel strangely drawn to it...

[yogihodgekins]

vnfkòbnpadfmkv wi-hhubs hjv wioph0hjmhjmhjjh

[rcarrl]

super cancion me acuerdo mucho de este video cuando lo vi alla por el año 2000 VAST son extraordinarios

[ClaireMoore123]

Excellent song, excellent video...great Spiritual message too...:)

[Jazzy459]

oh my god... im falling more in love with this band with every song!

[RockinBri4585]

one of my favorite songs by them :)

[Kymbyrr]

Jon Crosby is the MAN!!!

[Edd25164605]

god i love this song

[lilyblackswan]

Amazing cinematography, concept and direction - it pushes an incredible song over the top - and shows the band in rare form. This from a fan who's known of VAST from day one, dozens of concerts, big and small - great guys with the guts to push it.

[versionintegrale]

its a song no need for big exsplanation about it -.-

[hosanna23]

Great song!!!WANDERFULL BAND!!! I love them!!!!

[sahme001]

Just got this album yesterday... Goddamn I can't believe it took me so long to get into these guys; better late than never I guess..

[MP9220]

Can someone tell me who the drummer and the bald guitarist are?

[IDRIS1130]

This song is the bomb!

[sabrinaellis77]

Heard this song for the first time in a stip joint called the Alaskan Bush Company in Phoenix, Az... A girl used it as her stage song... Been hooked since! They are all hot and make amazing music!

[callumshenton]

I get shivers when I hear vast, even though ive played this 100+ times on my ipod it still cant be controled!!

[shannonjonian]

10 times better than todays mainstream

[DyingGodMadeFlesh]

@shannonjonian I hope your not trying to say that Vast was once mainstream, cuz they never were. Ive followed this band since the first album, and never have I heard them played on the radio or TV with the exception of "Touched" being used in previews for "the Beach", but not appearing on the soundtrack for the movie. The music sounds nice enough to appeal to the masses but it never did, Vast has a unique niche but it is not and never was mainstream. Great music too good for the mainstream.

[geckokin338]

@DyingGodMadeFlesh From 1998-2002, You could hear Free, Touched, Pretty When you Cry on Alternative stations in Seattle and Portland. All depends on where you live and what stations you listened to. While it may not have been a full national spread, the playtime was significant, and had decent coverage.

[JoleneRamsahai]

this is the first song i heard from them and my fav

[grkr]

i likem better skinny

[BIKERJAKE74]

A long time ago I was walking out of the Bronco Bowl in Dallas from A Perfect Circle show and had this VAST sticker on my cars windshield wiper. Heard of the band but never listened that much. HOLY SHIT WHAT A GREAT singer and songwriter. Have no idea why I waited this long to find the video.

[z09oe]

good song!

[TobiasMathe7]

I LOVE Vast!!

[SlickCat57]

great no, more like RAD

concert at the key club in hollywood

=D

much love

[madaco05]

A great band, hope they come to Guatemala someday!!!

[Soljourn]

Great band, and they put on a great show. Just saw them tonight in Salt Lake. You rock, guys.

[Depechemodeluv]

wow can NOT wait to see them next week!! i love them every song is completely amazing :D

[CindyBear55]

I had this song on a cassette tape, didn't know the artist until now, SWEET video! Thanks for posting!!!

[ayelexander]

why is jon corsby very overweight now?

look how fucking sexy he looked

[Valefor242]

Thats no bs I just saw them last night I know this song is like 10 years old, but I was wtf.

[AAAAKSSSS]

so he's still fat????

FUCK

poor jonny

[Sproductionscorp]

everyone in USA are getting fatter.

[penelo1185]

who fucking CARES?! he's a musician, not a damn super model so STFU.

[tbsigma4life]

no you're the fag if you're going to blab on about his weight rather than the music. so you should follow your own advice and STFU.

[CorbinONeil]

Rockin' song and a very visual video

[mondaye03]

By listening to these guys everyday for a month, my dick grew 3 inches!

Now I have a 4 inch cock!

[blockyanderson]

You wish fag

[oron345]

lmao what the fuck?
