Alec Empire - The Ride

[VisualHunter85]

I'd hit that

[ThePlasticMessiah]

Alec is such a fierce bitch in this. I love it.

[rongal50]

I kinda like this cause it reminds me his other song, you know, the one that's on DEAD NATION videogame :]

[seeriktus]

I AM SO HARD RIGHT NOW

[Aznighast]

any reason the sniper's weapon was censored, plz?

[seeriktus]

@Aznighast because it wasnt allowed to be shown.

Ironic isnt it? Actual censoring for a video/band like this

[Aznighast]

@seeriktus

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam­e.

I hate irony.

[NyXemB]

Why'd he call it digital hardcore? His gear is analog as fuck.

[ihaveashirtforthat]

@NyXemB Because it's hardcore as fuck.

[Szeptun]

Oh, my favorite is that Black Sexy Lady. He's music is ridiculously bad... 

[gabbermikegee]

3:13 Alec died?it's not true!Yesterday was in Krakow(Poland)

[Bosperus]

Dramatic Pose in 2:47

[northaunt]

can someone post fucking lyrics to this great track?

[stiggi94]

OMFG!!! such great songs come on tv?!?!

[janochanotariusz]

can anyone tell me which parts of london those are??

[QueenOfTheSnakeSS]

He's so fking cool.

[metramil]

me molan un huevo!

[OrbitZombie]

The fuck...the gun and point of impact of the bullet is censored?!

Is this how it originally was? Or was it censored by an outside source?

Because how dare they censor Alec Empire!

This video/song is just the epitome of badass!!!

[EtMikkie]

Come on.. they cencor things like smoking a cigarette.. what do you expect.

Bloody world has gone mad

[OrbitZombie]

I've seen guns in other music videos.I've also seen people smoking cigarettes in videos.Must be a thing with some European countries.But I know there's probably a few people here would like to censor the hell out of our daily lives. Just glad that most of them don't have any political power.But if the government or some other social-political entity does try become the morality police I know A LOT of people would not take kindly of that and they know how to start a ruckus.

[sfurner]

This track sort of builds up to nothing

[MrArnold47]

A bit like Samuel & the Dragon... cool.

[boleplissken]

This is one of the best tracks I've ever heard and I've heard loads!

[YeomanZZ]

Xciting Alec EmpirE, Mucho Grtzz, Lion-X

[247orbital]

Saw Alec Empire live last night in London, legendary!

[foochanism]

yea certainly one of his better tunes

[qtfamac]

Great tune, its best of Alec !!

[DelightOxygen]

I liked this clip

don't like drugs, this chit for attention whore teenager

Alec Empire is a attention whore

[Pr0ject2]

Hes an attention whore yet he makes underground as fuck music? Yeah thats really attention seeking lol.

[marius1210]

Impresionante el directo...

[anniekjc]

en directo son buenisimos

[Goblexter]

2:01 - 2:20

Lol,Mr.Gaeman feels proud of himself.

[ouroboro555]

istny madafaker koncertowy. tym kawalkiem otworzyli koncert w Poznaniu. jebaniec jest przetaneczny.

[mparusz]

W Poznaniu to nie był najlepszy występ jego ale początek miał zajefajny. Grał za glośno i dźwięki zlewały się w monofoniczny jazgot. Jednak chyba lepszego supportu przed NIN nie mogło być

[goregotted]

seeing them live with NIN in prague:-)...can't wait for it

[Welesss]

Will be there too!

[pedroazevedo1]

I will, too... Flying from Birmingham! :D

[Bosperus]

I'm fucking Jealous now!

[johnnyvalen]

20 july in Athens with NIN, Janes Addiction....can't get any better.......

[DashaJune]

kind'a thing lifts me up

[ninjastefano]

I saw him four days ago in Amsterdam, I even get to go backstage and talk with him, a very nice guy really!

[x0devilishxbiach0x]

So, so good.

[replikantzero]

this beat is just plain sickness

[aaronautomatyk]

alec is the most brilliant german jew since marx and einstein =]

[79898325]

I like Alec Empire, but I wouldn't go _that_ far...

[chemicalgonads]

LOL

[Plexpara]

alec empire is not jew.

what you talking about?

[replikantzero]

alec just looks like he sounds. which is perfect, by the way. one of the last real cyberpunk heroes.

[electrobuzz0110]

urban electro genius

[terrormachine78]

His voice reminds me of Le Shok.

[hojoe111]

I think he's awsome, i recently discovered all these songs other than 'Everything Starts With A Fuck' which i head years ago, and thought, wow, what a random song! But yeah he is good, and i like this tune!

[79898325]

Everything starts with a fuck is a great one.

[zmdeadelius]

alec is cool, but i don't agree with his new "electro-punk" sound. i mean did every hardcore fan die for him to switch to another style? bah

[blackwell10101]

you crazy? alec doesnt switch to another style. he has always made different records. you know Low On Ice? friend of mine saw him DJ in Berlin this summer and he told me alec was spinning the hardest industrial techno he has ever heard.

what you are referring to is his band project The Hellish Vortex.

[zmdeadelius]

well i watched an interview where he stated that his current project, the HV, is his "new me". But i totally agree with that, he's always been working on various records. BTW, i thought the hellish vorted is just a shop/online distro, isn't it? :?

[blackwell10101]

search Alec Empire live Lausanne. it's from a show last week or something...he goes totally destroyer blood noise....amazing....

Alec Empire @ Les Docks,Lausanne (Switzerland),Sept.6th 2008

[mirandansa]

London?

[sinlikeumeanit]

yep, it's London alright.

[sinlikeumeanit]

I sometimes speak to Alec via email - he is a real sweet guy so don't be haters.

[Rasko84]

I like the guy, although I do agree the press writes too many great things about him.

This song for instance, is no geniality, is just a fucking song.

[jone4s]

i´m going to see him live in bremen tomorrow; together with nic endo...

[sapphirerose666]

his grandparents died in nazi concentration camps. this is not "pseudo-angriness". German artists are dealing with the dark past of thier country.

[Jitwipar]

This little fuck is known for being a musician and producer, not a guitarist. Lenny Kravitz and Alec Empire are in two completely different markets-that cannot be compared.

[SpiritOfRadio7]

lenny kravitz is much much better guitarrist than this little fuck

[B1SCOOP]

who is Lenny Kravitz?

[praszu]

@B1SCOOP somebody who was quite famous 10years ago. And all the people who clicked "like" thumb below your comment know who he is.

[praszu]

@B1SCOOP PS: and i clicked it too.

[B1SCOOP]

@praszu hehe nie zczaiłeś ironii brachu:) zastanawiam się tylko po co odpowiadałeś na mało istotny komentarz sprzed 2 lat?

[praszu]

@B1SCOOP nuuudy

[praszu]

@B1SCOOP z nuuudy

[AnalBatman]

as alec said himself,anti fashsion seems pretty fashionable too nowadays.

think the point is just be who and what you are

[mombasaha]

I'm fucking tired of his pseudo-angriness. If he's so against commercialism, how come he plays the game so well? His career is just as much based on stereotypes like 'looking hot' and being a 'rebel' as every other phony in the record business. Big yawn.

[Tscharlz]

Your comment makes me yawn.

Should he look uglier in order to appear more real?!

Well, and his sound...you couldn´t sell it like Britney...

[Jitwipar]

Not to praise being angry or anything, but pseudo-angriness? I'm assuming you haven't seen the videos during the berlin wall riot era. 

He's not against commercialism, nor is he trying to be 'rebel'. Where are you getting all of this? I'm sorry you can't see past that assumption when you see a group of people wearing black douchebag spy-gear.

Mind you, they've been around since the early 90's. As tscharlz said-have you heard this shit in the states? are their records flying off the shelves?

[blackicede]

LOL. Have you ever been in Berlin on May 1st? When they used to play on the back of a truck while around the truck all hell broke loose in a huge street fight between Anarchists and the police? Well, I guess you haven't, so why don't you just shut up about your "pseudo-angriness"?

[BAYEMPEROR01]

viva alec empire, viva atr, viva anarkyzm0

[marionka1992]

wow alec

[gery889]

Scheiße, der Alec macht so ne verdammt geile Mucke!!!

[ivanivan9999999999]

ахуеть епто

[Citizenerased87]

ok the alley that alec is walking down at 2:06

is that the same alley from the big gun battle scene in children of men?

[lulipoper]

what a great fucking band... hey alec !! come to centroamerica... we love you

[sapphirerose666]

This Video is Censored!!! OMG!! It's all making sense now.

[sapphirerose666]

simply a masterpiece

[DirtyDay123]

Excellent song; first saw this video on Kerrang, good thing I did or I would have never known about Alec or ATR.

[kostasishere0]

Alec Empire Rule

[3dgllenlleja]

Alec is awesome,one more time he is hot, and the best singer...

XD

[tianaonly]

bang-bang...

[TheMorMor]

Hey! They killed Alec! you bastards!

Awesome song..awesome guy..

[bexathefuckedup]

when??????? WHAT THE FUCK???

[TheMorMor]

Lol :P not for real in the video.

[bexathefuckedup]

lol

[stafford4797]

cool track from alec

[stafford4797]

hey guys check my musicprojekt here in youtube,

BLITZKILL, Techno Killer, Death Metal Techno, Industrial.

[Staticshriek]

Yeah Bitzkill Rulz!

[ady24]

it was mr empires birthday other day-same day as me!

alec empire fucks N.I.N big time......

[Cirris]

please refrain from the chest thumping "my band is better" trip. A. E. made/makes some great music, so did T. R. let's leave it at that.

[cheeryvibez]

this tune is amazing! the bass (i assume korg?) NEVER sounds as good as it does on the cd when you make an mp3 of it. i hope one day to be a fraction of this good.

[SGGG2]

Awesome EBM/Industrial track!

[DavidfromOhio]

yeah, they should show all :D

[DavidfromOhio]

Guns, bloody violence, etc. B-)

[mr5elfde5truct]

First time I ever heard this band. I liked the music but I wasn't crazy about the vocals or the video.

[grinick]

distortion does not = breakcore

[DTRASH]

Erm, Alec Empire helped create breakcore

For that alone, he gets Breakcore as a keyword

[EYHORecords]

Alec Empire didn't help create breakcore - he invented it. His first EP SuEcide EP has the track Totenposse Rides Out on it...the definition of breakcore - and yes, this was in Spring 1992. 180 BPM noisy and heavy Amenbreaks... if you show us an earlier breakcore track...you won...but there isn't any...

[blackwell10101]

that is actually true...I tried to find an earlier track. without Empire , no Aphex Twin, no Venetian Snares, no Punk Prodigy, and Trent would still have long hair and wear leather coats

[Sheosyrath]

@DTRASH yea, seriously! if anyone has the nerve to bash Alec Empire about not being breakcore they deserve to be shot! This is obviously digital hardcore, not breakcore.. but we owe him our beginnings!

[DavidfromOhio]

I think the reason why the gun was censored is because Germany has a VERY strict rule about offensive things (dirty lyrics in songs, violence in videos, that sort of thing).

[mr5elfde5truct]

lol, how ironic, I wonder how that came about. lol, that's pretty lame they censored a fire arm.

[DavidfromOhio]

Alec Empire has lots of videos. This is just one of them, and DAMN it kicks ass ;)

[VlodaTechk]

what a waste of video tape.

so..we got 4 pretty 'hip' people aimlessly walking around (amongst us regular types) who congregate on a roof top to...? perhaps compare fashion?

and someone shoots alec..taking out the 'uber=hip' leader of the bunch.

great vid LOL.

[jcGonzalez11]

how can you say that? he's gorgeous, there needn't be a point...

[ZOOtelevision]

////////

love ATARI T.R.

[Vl4d2006]

:'( Alec can't die!!! Hes like... God... or something.

My favourite jew!

[flechtwerk]

this censorship sucks like hell....

here is an uncensored version of the video; poor quality though:

http://www.spex.de/web/video_p­layer.php?id=106&v=6

[klf1000]

fuck censorships!!! Alec Empire kick ass!

[SineWaves23]

I don't see the point in censoring the gun. That made me lawl.

[turitoss]

I upload the live version....brutal

[vidaar]

censorship kills music freedom of speech! they censored last scene with a gunman!

[winterelegy]

alec empire has a video? sweet. too bad there is no video for his album with merzbow
