Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Sleep Is Wrong

[Herrderlicht]

Question is... Does this song and this band need to be defined and categorized? Probably not because most that commented on here were attracted by their work, simply. They are good, they creative and they are original. Let's just enjoy it, yes?! A damn shame they broke up...

[kamenaingurren]

this is the heaviest not heavy song you will ever here i mean listen theres no destertion

[srs7593]

6:13 FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[sonicslaughter]

I love this. The music, the lyrics, the ideas conveyed.

[Brollyhero99TOP10]

I bet Mr. Bungle and King Crimson were these guys big influence.... This is some amazing stuff here!!! :)

[TheBeauxjangles]

@Brollyhero99TOP10

I'd say more Béla Bartok, Henry Cow, and the Art Bears

[Krimzon121]

@Brollyhero99TOP10 I just told my friend that if there was any band that combined Larks/Discipline era Crimson with Tow Waites , it is SGM.

[MELONMOVIES]

R.I.P Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

[akrhonion]

Imagine if you'd add up the time you spent sleeping, how long would it be?.. and what could you do with it?..

[PrawnSticks]

Holy shit! This is PERFECT. I've been looking for something like this for so long.

[Fermuertte]

7 people think that sleep is good....

[Astraios91]

I saw them live. The most amazing live performace I ever enjoyed...

[asshatt1]

7 people cant sleep

[alekkot666]

nie słuchać tego zbyt często bo będziecie mieli kisiel z mózgu

[Astraios91]

Most amazing band in the world Period.

[lyricalmastermime]

@Astraios91 Hell yeah!

[MELONMOVIES]

THIS SONG IS JUST PERFECT!!!

[Suckassloser]

The transition fro the introduction to the first.. err... verse? (ugh, at 1:22) is done perfectly, methinks.

[SmileysRevenge100]

@Suckassloser Yeah, you can even hear "The Pooping Turtle" in the section.

[srs7593]

i'm insane now. 

[barnnummer5milliard]

Wow. How come I've missed this band?

It's a real gem!

I'm a fan instantly, and have only heard a handful of their songs, gonna go get their albums now ;-)

Ty for sharing!

[danevati]

@barnnummer5milliard If you continue listening to their albums, you will literally wanna marry them! That's what happened to me... ahahaha

[JustLightheaded]

When I grow up I'm never gonna sleep.... : )

[ilikecheese1011]

I love that sound at 1:24

[srs7593]

@ilikecheese1011 he's playing a turtle.

[danevati]

If you are truly a Sleepytime fan, then you gotta love all their songs, and if you love all theirs songs, this should be one of your favorite!! :D

[danevati]

Argh the end!! Aghhhh!!! JUST MAKES ME WANNA CRY OF HAPPINES!!! I LOVE SLEEPYTIME GORILLE MUSUM!!! :D

[zoyclem]

Intense and psychotic: I love it.

[zukuzukuzukuzuku]

to enjoy this music, you have to ablargh

[ibanezandpeavey]

that sound that comes in at 1:38 hahahaha. thats fucken creeeeepy! love it!!

[baker0829]

In my college Comm2 class we are in poetry, and I realized that they quote a poem in their song:

"Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night" by Dylan Thomas

That makes it much more interesting.

[ArtZoydNosferatu]

one of their finest songs, along with cockroach the brillaint.

[MrProfessornutbutter]

ugh, love the bass in this one

[blaztradiouz666]

This is SICK!!!



[ANoNymousKiLLa]

Possibly their best song.

[danevati]

I seriously don't know on what volume to listen to this song! It's driving me crazy!!!!

[brittc18]

@danevati rofl

[MrsShadowFanGirl]

I was singing this when I was 4.

[Aridcreaturehere]

@MrsShadowFanGirl You are cooler than half of the people in world. XD

[MrsShadowFanGirl]

@Aridcreaturehere

LOL :D

[sinr1one]

Mike Patton is in SMG? WTF?

[TheStolenGnomes]

if u mean SGM, no he is not

[Rottenhatable]

Being awake is wrong!

[IlyaAndAGuitar]

@Rottenhatable When I grow up, I'm gonna die!

[nifleheimeim]

i love how they fall asleep halfway through

[yazquestiongirl]

sweet!

[TheOriginalEntz]

Just call it experimental :)

[buddhabomber]

they should make a Fantomas/Melvins/ Sleepytime Gorilla Museum huge band album

[punxtr18]

They should finish Idiot Flesh's last album first :P

[anarchyblessed]

@buddhabomber Dude Mike in anything = win =D

[Fragile0Still]

Fantomas, Melvins, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Kayo Dot album ... Toby Driver is essential in this extreme metal weirdness. All held together by Zorn on sax.

[fristdynamo]

there's dog fashion disco as well

[Boomslang93]

@fristdynamo Nah, Sleepytime is on another planet.

[pow121]

We need to hang out. All those bands are incredible.

Also, My Drummer's Cousin is in SGM, that's how I heard about them.

No I don't actually mean we need to hang out, that would be creepy. But seriously great taste in music man.

[paraprog85]

"How should one describe this music? RIO-Metal? Heavy-Dada? Dada-Progmetal? Hard-Avantgarde?" (quote) Damn right. Thanx for coming to Germany, THRICE since 2006, guys! Other bands are not that productive.

[newexperiment]

that's less often than they come to where I live, montreal. and I'm on the same continent. = (

[Klowpapier]

How about MIO (Metal in Opposition)? (:

[ForwardN2Unknown]

That's a heck of song.

[Nothwithstanding]

Wow...WOW.

This is one hell of a song. :applause:

[Israfvel]

When I grow up I'm never gonna sleep...

... so we're all children, then, my dear staff?

[NeroRadec707]

Sounds to me like a very twisted form of old Korn and Meshuggah. Just my thoughts though. Awesome kickass song nonetheless.

[looshkin66]

this is soooo good!

sounds like the residents but far more twisted!

[grayzbeardz]

never heard this band. love them.

[OMGVEGA]

hahahahahahhaha when i grow up, i'm never gonna sleep!!! very funny lyrics :)))

[Kickarsemcgee]

Too fucking cool

[xkochisx]

one of the best song ever!

[1787dude]

you know what? fuck u guyssssssssss

[okinweginwh]

I fucking love this band :D

Must spread the word... linking song in awesome song thread...

[nercopolis99]

This exceeds avant-garde.

[Legume666]

Love avant-garde

[alreadytaken334]

This is amazing music.

[JoesCheapThrills]

Awesome live act fucking loved them.

[nealattacktheater]

Yeah! I saw them live and it was so GREAT! Their vibe is awesome. Even if you don't like their music, I would still urge you to go see them live. It's so different live and much better!

[brokeneckgiraffe]

tony levin from king crimson (playing with the california guitar trio) opened up for Sleepytime Gorlla Museum in louisville a few years ago. that's how epic they are live.

[filkarada]

Yea, here in Portugal they also played it together ;)

[Poozel28]

I was there......STGM was better. =)

[TeeHeeHee123]

I saw this band in Orlando last month. It was mind-blowing. Great band.

[paulb869]

Yes they did close with this song...bet you didn't expect Nil's father to come out and play classical guitar during the pause in the middle of the song! "Salt Crown" was off the hook also...yes Carla is pregnant!

[withinspace]

Are you serious? Man I really have to see this band. That's awesome!

[JBLanteigne]

I saw them with Secret Chiefs 3 (good band too, you would like them) and they totally stole the show! Sleepytime Gorilla Museum were awesome I wish they played longer.. I wish I could see them tonight!

[rguitphil]

Not exactly Nil's father, but you can find my son (Adam Phillips) playing guitar with his old band, Indorphine. You can also hear a few of my home made videos here on youtube.

[MidgetMassacre]

Indorphine needs to be a band again :( One of a kind.

[punxtr18]

Hmm, never got to see papa Frykdahl. Damn. Lucky. :(

[rguitphil]

I've posted a video of the piece I played during Sleep Is Wrong in Orlando. Enjoy.

[1787dude]

@paulb869 preforming shows while pregnant, her kids gonna come out bipolar and psychic.WOWWWWWW, adrenaline....

[paulb869]

so fucking good it hurts...literally...coming to orlando 4/28/09...yahooooooo!

[punxtr18]

I'll be there hopefully as well brother.

[frankbombs]

yeah buddy... TODAY IS THE DAY

[paulb869]

DOORS AT 6:30 SGM on at 8pm

[punxtr18]

I wasn't there, but I was at the State Theatre the next day. What was the setlist for Orlando?

[KetchupAvenger]

how fucking awesome are they! :D such talented musicians... so clever! <3

[onoffknapp]

Is it the original recording or something in the rip that makes the volume fluctuate?

[punxtr18]

It's most likely Youtube auto-leveling and normalizing the perfectly fine rip. It's actually not too bad if SGM could pull off the quick drops in dynamics such like this :)

Btw, the reissue was the first CD I bought in a long time without even caring if it may suck, I seriously did not know SHIT about this band. Thanks Mr. Spruance!

[Gabijuxis]

strange and scary..but love it!

[AnaxParthenope]

all the same, spelled right or wrong, doesn't affect quality of the song! which is btw 1 of my favourites, ever.

[AnaxParthenope]

museum is spelled wrong

[withinspace]

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that.

[tanmancan]

this is a very cool sound.

[redkef]

I love this band... It reminds me of the way you think when you're dreaming. Or having a nightmare. either way, I love it.

[midnitehghway]

i first heard this in my music technoglogy class and thought it was a gorgeous song. best thing i've heard in a while

[fliffany]

if you guy like this, you should check out This Heat. This song is a cover of theirs. They were a counter-culture ?Rock? group in the 80s.

[Stickasaurus]

They covered S.P.Q.R. by This Heat but not this song

[Saten194]

SICKNESS!!LOVIN' IT!!!!!!

[AndrejKorenic]

LOL love the last 5 seconds!

[jabbadarth]

Now that's avant-garde... They should record with Fantomas :)

[SothisKhor]

avant-gard

savage garden

salivant bard

bla bla bla

[SothisKhor]

[qgloafhun]

I recently found SGM while searching for music like uneXpect, and SGM is much better Oo They quickly became my fave.

[Rammsteinroxandunoit]

I agree.

[ugmogog]

To like this music you have to be intelligent and complicated or insane...luckily it makes you insane.

[DressuOut]

you mean i am lucky.

that is good.

[IsteachAgDamsha]

Gorgeous song, love this band. They're just so unique.
