Fair To Midland "Musical Chairs" official video / Album July 12th

[sheesha06]

I found this band right when this video came out, and I definitely wish I had found them sooner. I bought their newest album on the day it came out, and they have since been my favorite band!

[LobotomizedZombie]

Texas is the best god damn country in AMURICA.

[rmsully77]

Great band and song. They need more views but people don't have good taste in music anymore.

[vj349778]

Amazing band, makes me proud to be a Texan.

[fraserlynne]

This song/band/video are F*#KING amazing!!! Can't wait til Aust tour in May.

[Project4113]

Incredible band! These guys are incredible song writers and musicians and have such a unique sound that's unlike any other. By far my favorite band!

[xRey01x]

Thumbs up if you think this should be an official theme for Wrestlemania 28 to build for Punk vs Jericho!

[xRey01x]

GREATNESS PERSONIFIED!

[TheOpethOfMastodon]

@dmkicksballs13 haha,i cant stand that shitty song.

[whodibrown]

I can't understand what he is saying. :( Sounds good though. I think the vocals should be louder

[pweedman11]

geez, they just don't make music like this anymore

[oddson100]

1:22

[dmkicksballs13]

Dude you should check out this song by Fair to Midland. - Me

They're gay, you should check out Moves Like Jagger - Brother

That has to be the worst song ever. - Me

It's got 160 million views - Brother

...... - Me

Where you goin? - Brother

I'm going to try and become a heroin addict. See ya. - Me

Ok, see ya. - Brother

[LordSinodius]

They win XD

[Fishvortex]

I don't get it, their band page only has 19,000 likes :(

[MrToggler]

there is just one to say: BRILLIANT!

[rockmusictilldeath]

This Album Arrows and Anchors is more geared towards their previous album label and the people that have screwed them over. If you take the time to listen and go over the interviews that they do, then you will understand this album more. Still Epic. I love how diverse they are, and how well they do with change.

[coreyfromaus]

I looked up this band because of Iwrestledabearonce,But this is epic none the less.

[drockny]

Damn this song is amazing! So powerful... these guys are just so above ordinary music.

[drgerke]

I bet these guys like Maximum the Hormone

[mobiusdw]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find that there are simply not enough decibels for this?

[JCordoba1001]

they have a lot of potential. Too bad rock is in a shithole right now

[DarkApostleMatt]

Why the fuck would someone wreck a perfectly fine piano? Such disrespect to an instrument is unforgivable, especially when a musician does it.

[TheD4wn]

@DarkApostleMatt do you know that it is a perfectly fine piano, not an unusable one? i get your point though.

[peyoteasesino666]

one of the best albums of the past year :)

[footballXcrazyX2012]

i love this song now i cant stop listening to it! i love how the band looks normal and the singer looks like a hippie lol. i hate seeing bands who look like freaks just look normal play your music thats all we care about!

[footballXcrazyX2012]

where have bassist like been hiding for all these years!!!! that is freakin amazingly awesome bass like just sick riffs

[Rasnmpl]

their music is definetly not bad, but i like hiphop and rap more. not because it's like musical better, i guess metal often is harder to.. lets say produce. u know everybody says that hiphop/rap is no 'real' music, but guess what, i surely can play these guitar and bass riffs but dont know how to create a beat.

Keep chillin', keep smokin', hiphop 4 life.

[lansed]

the bass in the verse isnt really in tune with the rest of the song. i can see what they're trying to do, and when it kicks in just before the chorus, it makes full sense. but under the acoustic guitar in verse, it just sounds kinda wrong to me.

[HeroicBallbag]

@lansed thats kinda the point. if you look at the tab, it is in tune with the song, just in a weird way.

[lansed]

@HeroicBallbag yeah. just had another listen, and you're so right.

[daysoftheneww]

They just don't make enough good music like this any more !

[HeroicBallbag]

@daysoftheneww yes they do, look ^

[marketmogul]

@daysoftheneww Well, apparently they do! 

[Feiirue]

I wonder if he's ever hit himself in the face while swinging his arms around like that.

[TEHspazGUY]

Now the singer was truly spazing out... Kudos to you

[Gingerlord01]

Thats a nice LP

[briar834]

album of my summer

[CruiseControlFurCool]

They made the guitarist put a shirt on...sad.

[puregenius7112]

I don't mean to sound stereotypical, but when I think about Texas, this isn't what I had in mind. Kickass band though

[undeadprimo]

I met this band after a their show in Sacramento just a week or two ago. I adore this band in every way possible, and just love the energy on stage. Darroh signed a shirt for me and drew nipples on them, I can now say that the lead singer to Fair to Midland, drew nipples on my T-shirt.

[matulaak988]

@undeadprimo NIPPLES

[JVVitinhooo]

man, this music is insane!

[marketmogul]

The bass from 1:30 - 1:33 kicks maximum ass.



[matulaak988]

I hate how at 2:23 it shows him pluck the final piano hammer a second after the key plays.

[LazyTaterLikesApples]

@matulaak988 It's a broken piano. If it made a sound, it wouldn't have been a pretty sound anyways. :P

[LazyTaterLikesApples]

@LazyTaterLikesApples But I know what you mean. :)

[matulaak988]

@LazyTaterLikesApples ...good point. didnt think about that.

[wheremyfeetis]

I like 0.00 - 3.36 its by far my favorite part

[StriderMarcos]

BOSCH add....anyone?

[nadnarf]

seein them in 15 daysssssssssssss ooommmmmgggggggg



[MikelMetalYoung]

WHERE IS THE HD? U MAD BRO

[AmazingMisterPete]

PLAY IT FUCKING LOUD!

Love me some Fair To Midland.

[FAIRTIMDLANDFREEK]

Best band out there! Too bad they can't get any Rep. But at least we have them all to out selves right now.

[Destroyer99X]

Is it just me or at the end does he look completely stoned?

[AshtonMontgomery]

love the drummers style

[oldfordblue1]

Seen these guys live a few weeks ago, the lead singer climbed the speaker tower and swung around upside down off the rafters over the stage. They're all insane and have a ton of energy and put on a hell of a show, go see em in concert if you get a chance, they kick ass.

[CannabisReviewTV]

@oldfordblue1 Damn.. deff gotta see these guys live, love the Energy a concert can put off, Cheers man !!

[Purplecow7373]

Brokestoke. You've insulted me! Every song has huge depth and ALOT of meaning. There first album, every song was about a different fable, giving individual meaning and a lesson to each one. There lyrics as well as the unique sound us what makes them so great, and well as easily my favorite band

[thebehemoth011]

@Purplecow7373 If you are referring to Fables From a Mayfly that is not their first album. Just their first studio album.

[06brokestroke]

@Purplecow7373 haha. I didn't mean it the way you probably took it.

I agree, you have to read into what they're talking about more than the usual "F*** bit****, get money, get rims, etc etc....". (I hate rap, Can't spell cRAP without RAP).

FTM is definitely in my top3. I guess I should have said "I would like them more if I didn't have to decipher their lyrics. lol

[rept1le128]

@Purplecow7373 one of my favorite too:)

[neohero32]

The lead singer looks like a mix between Johnny Depp and Bam Margera. This song is outstanding!

[06brokestroke]

I like them a lot, don't get me wrong. But they'd be a lot better band if their lyrics made more sense/had a point.

[123unknownsoldier126]

@06brokestroke This song is about chances. The lyrics have a very powerful meaning behind them. People just don't understand them because today's music is stupidly simple and the lyrics are so dumb that it's actually painful to listen to sometimes.

[sleven57]

0:21 - 0:24 Is it just me or is he having a serious Parkinsons moment there?

[MichelleMassacrexxx]

Why aren't there more views on this?! <3

[slaptheshitoutofyou]

This rocks on so many levels!

[dirtoff99]

i makes u wonder !! :P 

[12voltmaster08]

Thumbs up for Darroh's thumbs up @3:24

[Kevitivity]

Would like to hear the music this band makes 10 years from now.

[AlCapwn35953]

@Kevitivity Yeah will they evolve or fall flat with their next album? Are they kitschy, or originals? Well I think the answer is more than obvious right now. Kitsch, if you couldn't figure it out.

[JapaneseModernist]

What a wonderful song. Thank you for making the world a prettier place

[futurecomic75]

as soon as darroh started spazing out i immediately loved the video.

[jumpinthedog]

like how this wasn't hosted by vevo so much i subed

[HeadacheVillain]

ATTENTION!!!!! Does anyone know where I could find guitar, bass, drum and keyboard tabs for this song? Me and the rest of my band really want to cover this song but we can seem to find tabs anywhere and would mean alot if someone to help us out.

[HotRod12667]

@HeadacheVillain I found bass tabs, but I am sure there are guitar and keys tabs on this site. Don't know about drums though.

[HotRod12667]

@HeadacheVillain tabs .ultimate-guitar. com/f/fair_to_midland/musical_­chairs

[metallistener666]

You think he's a screamer during sex? Could you imagine that?! Lol

[BeeTeeDoubleYou9]

@metallistener666 HIYAYAYAYAAAA!!!!

[metallistener666]

@BeeTeeDoubleYou9 i just lol'd

[WutDementia]

I'll be damned if typical youtube comments ruin this not typical song.

[Dreihkon]

Pianos were harmed in the making of this video.

[HoldYourOwnTube]

HI YI YI YI YAAAAH!

[moterhead7]

SINGERS ON CRACK O_O seriously though great song ;)

[KeyserSoze1334]

@moterhead7 its so much more incredible live

[MidwestwreckingKrew]

fukin rocks bros

[daysoftheneww]

Why can't these guys get more playing time on Sirius ! This song is sick !

[TheMrJinglesWorld]

@daysoftheneww I know, right? Sirius needs to get serious and play this seriously talented band :)

[TheMrJinglesWorld]

Darroh reminds me of a skinny Ron Jeremy.. lol.. 

[filthphreak]

this guy is so dam crazy.. he makes me wanna keep watching his craziness x.x

[TheMrJinglesWorld]

25 other people didn't have very good aim either, they clicked the wrong damn button..

[1kornygrrl]

This song is AMAZING!!! I don't kno many other songs by them but this is gold :)

[MrMakeapie]

his eyes are amazing

[kronosvolkerball]

excellent band, incredibly brutal record, simply amazing.

[filthphreak]

The singer looks like a freak x.x .. is it weird that i like it xDD

[Rocko1290]

@filthphreak You're a freak, he's a badass lol

[filthphreak]

@Rocko1290 Aha its obvious imma freak xD and yeah he is pure badass agreed XDD

[awsomestuff98]

@filthphreak bro if you think the singer of this band looks like a freak look up marilyn manson, he is a freak man

[1Wheelchairmaniac]

this dood looks like hes having a seasure

[thefiremind2]

the singer looks so strung outtttt.

[SloaneCass]

I can't get this song out of my head. It's getting weird. Like a drug addiction. Only 2 other songs did this to me...Seasons by Chris Cornell and Dream of the Archer by Heart. Grrr....I have replayed this song 100 times in 4 days. The "Wild Goose Chase" Is trying to get it out of my head....they struck the chord. Great job guys ;)

[emochick4ever88]

its weird how its called musical chairs but they dont hav any chairs to play with...funnay <3 XD

[axherm95]

Is there any better band?...wait a minute there is! FTM louder FTW!!!

[BornAgainPredator]

my ears are bleeding (me gusta)

[TheNightcrows]

this song like this = ( Night Crows - You deserve to die ) O_O

[Austin1Arse]

i love the begining part with the piano when i heard it the first time it was like someone making love to my ear vaginas :3 "Nick Swardsen"

[TheAntezzz]

Scroll up! You're missing the video!

[Skabuloosh]

@TheAntezzz no need to scroll up when you're the top comment XD

[crossfade030992]

why does the lead singer look like a half retarded frog trying to stand on two legs? It's like he can't stand still.

[cornnugget]

@crossfade030992 Because if he stood still that would be boring as fuck.

[crossfade030992]

@cornnugget well, there's dancing during a song, and there's what he does which looks like a fish getting used to a new pair of legs.

[TeethPlayer]

@crossfade030992 Because there are people who wonder why. Its the same with brutal booklets. There will never people stop thinking about it. And thats a kind of provocation.

but for people like you : he just likes his own music !

[TheLateNightAlumni]

Holy fucking Shit. End.

[twosup1000]

@J3R3MYTHEZOMBIE666

I fucking love everything in this song!!

[wjWJ8]

This is the best song ive heard in a longggg time! (:

[pandaspleen]

24 disliked this because they didn't like it... Simple as that.

[prohs11]

Every member of the band is just goin a hundred miles an hour at all times, I freakin love their stuff. The drummer never lulls into arbitration, he is always doin somethin awesome

[TheD4wn]

@prohs11 yes dude, i think its the dream of every musician to play in a band like this, high skilled and experimental :D + FUCKIN awesome =P

[Opethns]

The energy they produce ....the bass ....the chords ....his voice ....the drilling machine ....i dont know ...its so sick and ....f..... awesome !!

[SergiosTorrents]

i was hoping for video explaining the song....

[crossfade030992]

@SergiosTorrents Just listen closely to the lyrics. "I beg to wonder, If shooting for stars is like darts in the dark". It's the curiosity. Wanting to know if living your dream is really as hard as people say it is. Just a sample break down for yah

[SergiosTorrents]

@crossfade030992 hm i thought that it was about god and death. i dont wana explain how i got that but thats what i love about FTM, they make you wonder :D

[arronmetallica]

@crossfade030992 "it makes you wonder"

[unfairrocks]

The Bass is fucking amazing! :D

[watdaheII]

I saw these guys back in 2006, they were touring with flyleaf, and the cd hadnt come out yet. My dad(I was 15 at the time) started talking to the band after the show, because he thought they were amazing. They ended up inviting us out to dennys. It was amazing, and they gave my dad a early copy of fables before it was even close to being officially released.

[livenwealth]

this is an awesome song straight up

[MRPSWELLING]

@jimmybones1980- Spoonful Of Nothing

[patrykolod1995]

I love this song :D

[throwsMACHETES]

I can't believe they're not more popular.

[FrReTrUnNeR2478]

@J3R3MYTHEZOMBIE666 yea tht bass is sick. by far some of the most creative for a song like this tht ive seen. 

[Sunwhisper1932]

Darroh. <3

I love seeing someone so passionate about music. (:

Fair to Midland is fucking amazing. :D

[drabiu]

i fucking looove this shit <3

[wccrispy]

 \\m//_ Fair to Midland _\\m//

[AdamR702]

This band is like if metal had a a kid with folk music and was cheating on it with aweseomeness and was on Maury

[Kerfuffleinahussle]

@AdamR702 The term your looking for is Progressive. Or Art Rock, depending.

[axherm95]

wtf korn sucks compared to ftm. no comparison ftm all day thumbs up people!

[Justic3h]

the singer looks crazy... :O lol.. amazing song... but.... singer is kinda scary

[TheRoosterRedemption]

@Justic3h i wouldnt say scary i would say just alot more passionate about his music than most people

[DisgruntledCanadian]

21 people lack the distinguishable fact of what music is, and how it should be made.

[naranha2k9]

Damn.. Can't tell which album I like better - FOAM or A&A, both are just pure awesomeness... When you like Arrows & Anchors, be sure to get Fables Of A Mayfly, it's equally good, but totally different at the same time.

[PokemonCompositions]

WAAYAYAYAYAYA

[MrMoparsteel]

man i wish i had this guys energy

[drgnhuman2006]

they will be bigger than korn someday. I saw them in concert last week. sick plain in simple.

[Vulkun25]

Both of those guys are wrong, its 21 people, not 19! XD

[taterzk]

I didn't know the karate kid started doing drugs and joined a band. Awesome! He's got lots of talent.

[Metalheadmilo]

Sorry to hear you don't like Tool, mate. I personally love em and heard some sort of resemblance between the two. But that's just what I got out of it personally. You don't gotta think the same.

[Kirashevanel]

@Metalheadmilo I know what you mean, I hear some Tool in their stuff too. I think it's the bass. I'm not sure. Love tool though.

[Metalheadmilo]

These guys kinda remind me of some kind of mutant breed between Tool and Breaking Benjamin with a dash of extra heaviness for good measure. (To me, anyway). Different. Interesting. Good.

[EmpressRed]

FTM not = Tool. and Tool bores me

[Premie9792]

meh, this isn't really system of a down music..this band is a progessive rock band, even though this song is more or less mainstream..there are much closer bands then SOAD

[HighlanderWallace]

21 people forgot to... oh yeah i dont give fuck what they think cause this song is the shit

[benaji261]

21 people thought it was actual musical chairs and got upset

[MrAhzrukhal]

21 people got their feet wet

[TheMorbidmirage]

Well, I am offically hooked on this song. About time a new band can fill in a System of a Down void :D

[lookingforthetruth]

@TheMorbidmirage They are nowhere near "a new band" They formed back in 1998 and had their first album in 2001. Their previous big single was Dance Of The Manatee. Look them up.

[TheMorbidmirage]

@lookingforthetruth I meant "new" as in them just now breaking through to popularity. I had no clue of who they were until this video came out, but I do see your point.

[EliteXor]

system of a down and death cab for cute had sex and gave birth to fair to midland

[Eatsoup3]

@EliteXor Or...Fair to Midland had sex with Fair to Midland and gave birth to more Fair to Midland. (I'm insulting your awful point of view)

[tumtuss]

@EliteXor Do u even know this band?

[BlasphemousVendetta]

21 people never had very good aim.

[Cepseudonexistepas]

always the same comments : "19 people didn't get to sit.... blah blah blah. "

[rockmusictilldeath]

@Cepseudonexistepas People are dumb. You just have to remember that.

[oOoAndreaoOo]

@J3R3MYTHEZOMBIE666 The bass is the best ;)

[Konekodesune]

I had Fables From a Mayfly completely memorized in a week, and every song has stuck with me since. I have a strong suspicion Arrows and Anchors is going to be the same.

[12voltmaster08]

@Konekodesune It is!
