Spastic Ink-Words for Nerds

[MapALife]

Haha the pictures are fucking hilarious. When that bass guy came in HAHAHAHA

[sadripurgis]

why did you post manring? wahahahahaha!

[TheMetalKid9]

Ron Jarzombek wants YOU!

To figure out the time signature and tempo changes in Words for Nerds.

[CherubicGuardian]

@TheMetalKid9 Impossibru!

[haklbarry2]

spastic ink...

[starscreammusic]

no shit, it's a computer

[slaughtered777]

Oh Ron Jarzombek, you master! Simply put, a mad scientist on the guitar.

[blister1324]

I saw Michael Manring play with Don Ross. Fuck that was a great concert. I wish spastic ink could play concerts :(

Just like metal is an umbrella term, Progressive is a vague word to categorize everything that doesn't fit in elsewhere. That's my interpretation of the word, but who needs labels? Just keep loving music :)

[himalchulicup]

ooooo! it's a computer

[SolvingOurKreation]

Oh...it's a computer...

[JcDrummer28]

0:41 Awesome Groove!!

[UnforgivingCritic]

is this a progressive metal song? coz this sounds so medley.. the transitions just suck.

[CyValkarion]

@UnforgivingCritic You can't call it prog metal. Ron Jarzombek has too weird a style to call it that.

[UnforgivingCritic]

@CyValkarion no, it really is progressive. There's nothing weirder than progressive technical metal. Even neo-classical genre can go suck Prog's dick.

[SunburstGuitarsDan]

This song is so sick! I like it!!!

[xara6657]

Bass solo is from Sean Malone actually.

[DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

Haha, that's my Michael Manring photo.

[aligatorsandwitch72]

The Jarzombek parents must be very proud.

[sebaswildboy]

@aligatorsandwitch72 no doubt

[CyValkarion]

Jarzombek. 'Nuff said.

[DietGrape]

the picture of the little girl scares the shit out of me

[thisfernow]

May I suggest Chris Broderick as an example of what it means to be a classically trained metal musician? ;-) BTW. HUGE Jarzombek fan here!

[thisfernow]

Yup

[Jman0101]

am i the only one who hears chopins fantasie impromptu around 1:14?

[thisfernow]

@Jman0101 Only in progression. However, I must agree on some level. Good ear! May I point out though....that many of these progressions could be traced back to classical origins. May I suggest Chris Broderick as an example of what it means to be a classically trained metal musician? ;-) BTW. HUGE Jarzombek fan here!

[BetterTasteThanU]

Garbage from morons.  I smell it

[Hangoikua]

Holy motherfcking sht... Are this guys for real? xD Talent excess.

[momi1carlos]

Ohhh.... it's a Computer !

[bonuzround]

/watch?v=uW5GjbidEHU&feature=r­elated

[chempi1981]

Just amazing!!!

[XSDarkMoonZX]

WTF @ 1:30. Madeleine McCann??? Random...

[oxlodapac]

The use of Madeleine McCann's picture @ 1:22 is lacking taste to say the least.

[PriestofHiroshima]

@oxlodapac I just googled young child or something, didn't realise who it was. Her case wasn't publicised where I live (Canada). Now that i know who it is, yeah not the best idea.

[DashingBlast]

@PriestofHiroshima I was going to comment on just that, but I thought there'd be a fair reasoning.

Thanks for uploading this though, this is my first exposure to Spastic Ink, and I'm loving it.

Cheers again!

[MrJuico1337]

@PriestofHiroshima Oh, boy.

That's funny.

[chimpvancleef]

@PriestofHiroshima I lold! :P

[Ceb773]

Man this song was sooo good but I was really turned off by that cheesy synth-solo in the middle... Plus all the talking. Oh well. Listen to it anyways.

[TAOVmusic]

starting @ 1:39 is such an amazing bass solo.

Anyone know if that is Sean Malone on bass?

[PriestofHiroshima]

@TAOVmusic

It's Michael Manring, I do believe.

[TAOVmusic]

@PriestofHiroshima

Yo, that's what I originally thought but for some reason the description has Sean Malone written down. Was just curious, thanks bro

[plomo221]

manring? no! pete perez!

[rasberrysauce]

@PriestofHiroshima If it's Manring, I totally understand why it would be as awesome as it is. Manring = quite possibly one of my favourite bassists.

[Steve128967]

@TAOVmusic It's Michael Manring. Sean played on Melissa's Friend as I recall.

[dje2671]

@TAOVmusic Well, it certainly isn't Michael Manring like the picture suggests!

[rexasul]

@TAOVmusic Manring in the picture, but by the sounds of it, it's Malone on the track.

[MickeyLWalker]

LSD

[dallasdoby]

A LSD monitor, a five one two MB...Ooooh! It's a computer!

[metalheadanonymous]

the bass solo is totally bad ass

[ACMetan]

ooooh! its a computer!

[FrikShowOhNo]

first time i listen to them...i like it!!

[tuitaitei]

Kmanore, your attitude stinks!

Just pick up your guitar and play. Music isn't about who's the best

[kmanore]

i was an aspiring guitarist until i discovered spastic ink. now i just stare at my axe while it gathers dust in the corner, knowing i could never come close to this.

[Succubus969]

can still fool around with it for fun!!! :D

[darkmagicforce]

@kmanore wow, thats horrible. these guys are good but there style and music isnt that complicated you can learn it.

[quarentine99]

Its like a metal Animals As Leaders

[XxSconeManxX]

...Uh, AaL IS metal dude, and additionally, if anything, Tosin and AaL sound more like Spastic Ink versus them sounding like AaL, but I don't really think Abasi takes much influence from RJ anyway, or at least to my knowledge.

[DTthedanceofeternity]

yea youre right, the difference is, spastik ink are way better :P

[Foti03]

what exactly does she says???????????

"""excuse me sir im looking for a word processor, i want to be able to control page breaks. and " ? " copy and paste, change the preset " ? ", oh yeah and create bookmarks! do you have anything like that sir?""""""

these guys are just THE awsomeness!

im pretty sure they'r not from this planet :'D

specially ron

[Fushpud]

"cut"

[spipiaoudjajikoh]

Special guest

[spipiaoudjajikoh]

no it"s Micheal Manring on that bass solo! ;)

[spipiaoudjajikoh]

@spipiaoudjajikoh Fuck i told you it's manringg on that bass solo, look at the picture while the solo, and if you kwnew his style of playing, it's totally him on that solo evident!! That fretless sound!! Perez don't play on a freless!!

[DaggersPlunge]

Is that Pete Perez on bass (I only ask because that was an AMAZING bass solo and I know the band has had a plethora of geust play on albums)?

[Hachem7]

it's certainly sean malone

[spipiaoudjajikoh]

@Hachem7 no man, it's micheal Manring on that bass solo, sean malone plays the solo on " In Memory of..." the 6th track of the ink compatible album!

[conorthealien]

@spipiaoudjajikoh Its actually RAY RIENDEAU!!, according to Ron Jarzombeks facebook page

[spipiaoudjajikoh]

nooooooo it's Micheal Manringggg FUCKKK

[Isnaard]

I'D MARRY RON JARZOMBEK IF I WAS A GIRL!

[alexstypes]

Is this just one song? I can feel my mind getting fucked...

[indhate]

sean malone is the fretless god!

[closeddoors]

1:15 - Multitracking is a beautiful thing. He could have built that up into a thousand harmonizing guitars and it still would have sounded incredible.

[marioreaper]

this....is fucking amazing

[Thedanceofeternity2]

hahah xD

[edmega332]

Love that bass solo

\m/,

Ron Jarzombek = THE most underrated guitarist EVER. Amongst everyone's top 5 favorite guitarists.

Jarzombek FTW!

[asphyxxx]

EVER, amen. He's the best on the planet. He's just too much for the normal moron.

[psychopathtoine]

damn i love how the beat keeps changing!!

[54NT14G0]

ahhaahahha @ the pics. good vid; and this is one of my favorite Spastic Ink songs.

[Daniel1928XT]

El primer minuto de este tema es SIMPLEMENTE LA CAGA!!! IMPRESIONANTE DESPLIEGUE DE VIRTUOSISMO.

[Mugenloo]

Jarzombek is the surname of gods

[RealityBend]

1:07 = JIZZED IN MY PANTS

[unidenprizes]
