RUINS - Alone

[Canardnwar]

Pfff

[hardinmichael1981]

I would love to see the BASS player ALONE. what kind of pedals does he use???

[rubedomondo]

no offense to magma, but im not quite sure how you can bash this for not having intensity, and then praise magma on the same accord. Magma for most of their work seem sort of lethargic, only when they get overly operatic is there a real significant tension, or at least that's how i see it. Regardless, yoshida's work is almost always more chaotic and brash

[Argamocrypt]

This guy is amazing, he can play the bass guitar with his drums!

[MrWholewheat]

Holy crap awesome!!

[makotoroid999]

達也さん！最高！！

[blahblah0nana]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing Yoshida-san play live this weekend

[staggza]

PLEASE! absolute fucking pretentious arse holes,

[yargum69]

What's the name of the song that starts at about 5:08? I read once that it's actually a Koenji song, but I don't know which one...

In any case, it's awesome.

[TheAdamAdoptapuppy]

@yargum69

BECTTEM POLLT

[brutalbob1234]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[retrocareermelted]

wait i fergot, which part goes where?? these guys could run circles around you and make a clown of your ass

[Dooality]

This makes Mr. Bungle look like a top 40 ballad band by comparison. I love it.

[SwirlyGTung]

I love how he interjects "thank you" as if he's done and then starts playing again as if to say "haha, I fooled ya!"

[XVIIITheMoonXVIII]

Ruins ♥

[falseangelwing]

Who is playing keys?

[cgundddd]

right up there with cecil taylor, sun ra. would love to work with this guy. maybe never because my band slagged off AMT on their myspace page. regret. this is awe inspiring!

[llillillillillllill]

fucken ill

[Oyaji291]

This musical crew is growing on me FAST. I'm falling in love with Ruins

[DeathMetalDouglas68]

This version sounds so different with the keyboards.

[metalheaven]

Wow :|

[buckydrumsticks]

yeah man my boy found the ruins album and i was totally stoked they do a crazy collaberation of bunch of clssic rock song while combing into one i recommend checking it out

[floydtibbs]

How the fuck is this the most popular Ruins vid on utube? I'm not saying it sucks, i'm just curious as to how this video has so many more views than the others. Seriously these guys are severely underappreciated

[serfox1]

A lot of people also search for ruins alone to see yoshida's solo sets, this is one of them

[TheWatsche]

It shows Yoshida's skills nicely and it has better sound than most Ruins videos around here.

Youtube needs more Ruins!

[hybris176]

it's the drum nerds.

[russ486]

@floydtibbs Probably because it's in the "Related Videos" section in a really good Keiji Haino video.

[sh00tmyself]

Anyone know the title of the first song?

[seagalsupporter]

This fellow is the bee's knees. Vocal style reminds me of the guy from Italy's Deus Ex Machina.

[imover18gotityube]

This guy is so cool. He's my second favorite Japanese person.

[Merluzz]

Certainly his music is tasted better if you are a Zeuhl fan. For profanous listeners (including who listened Magma already) it sounds a bit redoundant.

But - as I have already said - he's great.

[Merluzz]

Great, but a lit "heavy".

[wegwegwge]

The part at 7:00 is so awsome I wish it was in the original Koenjihyakkei song :(

[llillillillillllill]

this freaking owns

[kingaspking]

This is SO funny!!!

[RomyFresh]

I´m ruined

[jeemobon]

I've never heard Ruins in this programmed electronic backing track format. It sounds like he's going in and out of a ton of shit very quickly, some of these 'tunes' I can recognize. I do miss the sound of the thrashing bass, but regardless, this guy is a monster. I've seen him live a couple times, and he absolutely never lets up, always keeps it furious.

[ChaoteMagick]

Whatever is happening at 5-7 minutes in this song is absolutely nuts.

The rest is also absolutely nuts.

[wegwegwge]

hehe I like this electronic sound, sounds like some oldschool video game

[andrearot]

does anybody knows what's the title of this "song"? :)

really interesting indeed.

[inhha]

there are quite many  "songs" in this clip.

[andrearot]

may you tell me wich "songs" appears in this clip? :)

[Venomous9]

...Jesus, is this me or does Tatsuya Yoshida look like Rolf Harris nowadays?

[rascalrascal]

thanks kevin!

[felioipe]

exelente banda

[m4rtymidi]

..Whoa...this is great!!..

Arigato Yoshida!

[Radlepadle]

Amazing drummer!

[B360Lightning]

this drummer is along the lines of The Italian Furio Chirico

[GlaForge]

Basing that on a recorded video clip is quite a (typical) claim. I think you would have to have seen him in person in the room to hear that "intensity" your missing out on.

I saw him back in April in London, UK - he was amazing, so much intensity and musicianship till even people who didn't know about him that night were telling me how amazing the guy was.

Considering there is Britney Spears and manufactured crap out there, i think such an comment makes no sense in the grand scheme of music.

[DLoc0]

you are not allowed to dislike this! i am going to hide your comment!

[SebowTube]

Ah come on ! don't hide my comment ! Why authorizing comments if it's only to show the good ones ? Of course I'm allowed to dislike this ! What a strange comment... :-/

[apeisgod]

this is great. thanks for posting..

[aprovechalavida]

eyyyyyyyyyyy

ese ta cuerdo

[konuskonus]

In live they amazing. Record eats away 80% (I just a week ago was on their live concert).

[Narag10]

I saw them live yesterday... Freakin' amaziiiin'!!!

I've been looking for all the videos I could find (I have got no social life whatsoever) and they sound a lot better live, trust me.

I want to see them again! ;____;

[damiao25m]

Tak, tak TATSUYA jest bardzo dobry w tym co robi:D..podoba mi się jego naturalny sposób gry na bębnach! IT'S GREAT!!!!

[thinkpad20]

Damn, what a badass drummer. Singing leaves a bit to be desired, but I bet if I listened to it a bit more I'd start getting into it. Either way, this kicks ass.

[casperado666]

And this vid is addictive as hell

[casperado666]

this sounds like Dillinger Escape Plan but without the "i-am-being-raped-by-an-elepha­nt" vocalsv (which is sad). The DEP are the best, the Ruins are close but on the second place (in my personal list).

[sadismzfun]

really?

never heard of this band, but if its as amazing as you say then im willing to listen to them

[alfcero]

fantastic....... huaoooo¡. amazing...

[iosonounosbirro]

I can't speak english, but this blow away my mind...fucking TRUE genius!!!

[jasonkrw]

I actually shit my pants when I saw that.

[Purifiedbyfire]

This guy for president of the universe!

[ErikJoeNoise02]

@Purifiedbyfire agreed!!!

[GlaForge]

Man, i would love to jam with this guy! :)

Ruins are an amazing band, and obviously as you can see Tatusya can pretty much be Ruins by himself - amazing! :)

[sergioDGO]

I saw this like 20 times, the guy is a genius.

[catswortheggs]

its too bad about the explosion that happened after this performance killing a brillant musician

[KevinBrownsvideos]

Yea! Ummm....Huh?

[passonno]

@KevinBrownsvideos Probably a Spinal Tap joke.

[rascalrascal]

hahaha

[alleyghost]

They've been warned...

[rascalrascal]

hooly shit

[HolgerregloH]

I can´t get enough from Yoshidas weirdness.

Any chance for an other clip from this genius?

Greets!

[tickeroo]

I was at the Vancouver show as well. Jesus Christ. There's not much you can say, really.

[MtFujiInMyPantsSUGOI]

just saw him tonight in vancouver....so sweeeet. the man's a scientist.

[limeyperson]

Really enjoyable fun, an inspiration.

[sergioDGO]

what a great zeuhl band !!!

[hotrats111]

i can't believe it....fuckin'FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[ryo1taka5]

kichigaida sugee!!

[drews]

damn... he is a sick drummer. I like how a some times he is a little off beat (during the more free form parts_ and then when the band comes together they are incredibly tight.

[morado666]

this guy is a genious and i'm gonna see it live, WOW !!!!

[Bice404]

So cool. Wish I could have been there in person to see it.

[ack44]

Hey that's on my birthday! That's crazy that he can do shows alone like that. I've seen him use the samplers when he performed with Ishibashi Eiko.

[squarepants2767]

Yoshida is GOD. He's soooooooooooooo underrated.

[stepstepdance]

Cool

[ironsword]

Jesus! I had heard about his solo Ruins effort, but I was skeptical. I'm quite impressed, though. The energy is still there! Incredible sense of time.

[AmaranthThePeddler]

@ hkdaijobu

The name of the last song is "Becttem Pollt" You can find the it on a Koenjihyakkei album called "Nivraym"

You can also find a version of this song called "Tllop Mettcab" on "Toh Kichi" by Sakoto Fujii & Tatsuya Yoshida

[mamajamaface]

Awesome sound and video quality! Thanks so much for posting this! I am a huge ruins fan!

[smegghiggins]

tatsuya is my favorite drummer, now. thanks for posting.

[Arthemesic]

YES!! I want those guys to do shows in Finland too!

[hkdaijobu]

anyone know the name of the last song on this vid?

[warboner]

Only a god can make it look that easy

[svonco]

this is beyond amazing!

[Ksa82]

fantastic guys!!! would love to see them in Moscow again

[gzat]

oh hell yeah.

[alleyghost]

Mad.Genius.

[NoelGrassy]

Thanx! I missed this show and there were so many great configurations of bands there. Nice camera work indeed. This club is a b*tch to film in when it's full.Your tab has been picked up at the pearly gates!

[coitalcephalgia]

absolutely amazing. thank you so much for posting this event.
