"Farewell, Mona Lisa" Official Music Video - The Dillinger Escape Plan - OPTION PARALYSIS

[LurkMoar101]

Gunning down Morning Stars in a Tornado with just this song playing on the mix tape is what makes SR3rd fucking awesome.

[dchiovitti1]

@LurkMoar101 hell ya man the only song i listen to like a hundred times while im playing

[geogeo222]

Hell yeah guys, I was thinking as I watched that this would be great for a DXM(cough syrup) trip. I'm definitely dosing up to this video this weekend

[Orangechapel]

@geogeo222 dex or die

[wolfboy12321]

theres no feeling in this place

the echos of the past being louder than

any voice I hear right now,

don't you ever try to be

more than you were destined for

or anything

[11stoutd]

This song makes me wanna be myself and not give a fuck what people think. It inspires me.

[OsbordPlunky]

@11stoutd I do that everyday.

[xHUTSEx]

Saints row 3

[ScypherCuddles007]

OMG :D meee too!!! Watch this with acouple bottles of couch syrup!.... xD so hammered!

[NotMyIntention]

Haha the tags..... Lady Gaga and fart.

Sick song, the singer is what Vin Diesel would be if he was more badass and had good taste in music

[turinwark]

@NotMyIntention and not gay

[NotMyIntention]

@turinwark Haha that too

[ibanwar]

meh

[ApplePieFriday]

Guitarist looks like Eric Banaaaaaaaawesomeeee!

[101Professor]

This Is The Strongest Most Insane Intense And Unbelievably Amazing Crowd Participation Song Ever- I've Never Ever Felt So Overwhelmd By The Everybody In The Crowd And The Action On Stage... Holy Fuck- I Need To See Them Live Again

[101Professor]

I Need To Catch My Own Breath-

I Need To See These Guys Live Again-

Holy Fuck

[blofeldfan33]

what are they saying? xD

[piedpiper81]

@blofeldfan33 everything!!! lol

[emiloversej]

Greg likes hentai

[Suresh1916]

the guy at 2:16 reminds me of jimmy carr.

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

I think Dillinger Escape Plan are becoming more and more amazing. Love Dimitri and Calculating Infinity is a great album, but Greg bought new energy and creativity to the band. My two cents.

[kevinisginger]

@13biteme you're recognition of that is admirable.

[JEREMYTRUJEQUE]

God I hope they play this when I go see em with Deftones.

[Liam5126]

@JEREMYTRUJEQUE IM SO FUCKING JEALOUS

[13biteme]

any comment i make, will fall short of my actual feelings toward the dillinger escape plan.

[luke666808g]

I got such a hard on for Dillinger watching this video, because I saw them live for the first time last year, and this video doesn't do them justice, I want to see them again right NOW!

[jollylollypollyholly]

MURDERS AND LIARS AND RAPISTS AND THIEVES!!!

<3

[JTNugget]

I WANT TO SEE GREG IN A FIST FIGHT.

[Fruscianteization]

seen 'em live!

[ARedSkyInAutumn]

I don't like it, personally, but I'll probably end up coming back to it again later and thinking it's the sickest thing in the world.

[Marcko98]

@ARedSkyInAutumn I hated this song the first time but yet on my iPod it says i listened to it 73 times, and now that i think about it....I freakin bought it.

[Marcko98]

@Marcko98 God, love me sum melodic metal.

[InvisibleTeeth]

Greg looks like Tony Kanaan now...

[TheDrew8605]

This song is raw and has a lot of meaning great melodies and shredding!!!!

[jokerdajuggalowcl7]

BAD ASS SONG DEF INSPIRATIONAL

[nuromay]

still cant believe how much their sound has changed up

[fotio90s]

i like the music but i dont the screaming vocals so match....

I'm familiar with death,black metal,but i would like them with not the common extream metal vocals.

[TheDrew8605]

@fotio90s this is awesome grow a pair!!!

[CarpetFaces]

OMG that just scared the crap out of me.....

[tylerarnold1234]

hey take notes this is heavy music without breakdowns

[MozillaThaKillah]

Oh. My. God. There are too many words to describe how awesome this song is!

[cjcurrie007]

This band rocks so fucking hard. I respect them more than any modern x band I know.

Where x = {post-hardcore, metalcore, heavy metal, nu metal, melodic metal, death metal, etc}

[scoosh14]

WHERE CAN I FIND GUITAR TABS FOR THIS!?!?!?

Preferably Guitar Pro xD

[lordInfamous47]

This song is boring as crap. Meshuggah rapes these guys.

[DeadRedDominance]

@lordInfamous47 Did you seriously just compare Meshuggah to DEP? What's wrong with you dude lol

[winoINC]

@lordInfamous47 please SHUT UP ... I saw them live Meshuggah +support DEP ...aaand only what I remember is 43% burnt outro riff + stroboscope!! :D ....and panasonic youth aand sunshine , aand milk lizard, aaand sugar coated.... ( before I loved meshuggah more than dep, after live .....I LOVE ONLY DEP:D)

[Nomastalgic]

sick

[LinkinPk1fan]

lol it was just too tech for 29 people to handle, Dillinger Escape Plan is epic

[traveldownward86]

i love this song. i like to interpret it as them conveying that way obama's government has made us feel like we need not try to be successful, try to stride for great things personally. Then when at the end suggests (and i agree) that the last 6 years have really been a cloning the same agenda. GWB last years and Obama's current have definately stunk of the same government cheese. I thing tDEP nail it on the head with this track.

[davethehostage]

@traveldownward86 ...way, way off. This song is about sending a message to fans who want them to return to their old sound. There's nothing political about it, there's nothing political about ANY Dillinger song.

[dnm25]

@davethehostage panasonic youth? i guess it depends on what you define as political

[davethehostage]

@dnm25 Panasonic Youth is more about social issues, not politics.

[dnm25]

@davethehostage sugar coated sour? yes what you call politics. I said that in the sence that politcs is nothing more than a standardized way of dealing with all social issues.

I also really like how their songs double up as politics-social/love-relations­hip it's like you can always interpret it in these two ways. Not to say that other interpts. don't apply. like they say this song is a message to the fans who wanted the old sound, etc.

[dnm25]

@dnm25 edit: YOU say it's about that. I can see that.... "never leave home" which applies neatly since they really were at home in the kickassness they put out, a life performance shows that clearly.

[davethehostage]

@dnm25 ..What about Sugar Coated Sour? If you're inferring it even has the slightest political meaning behind it, you're way off. No, the meaning of the song is not subjective - the writer had a specific idea in mind, that's what the song is about. This song is not about Barack Obama, in any way whatsoever.

[dnm25]

@davethehostage so what's that idea he had in mind?

also politics=barack obama?? did you read/understand what I posted before?

[moket123]

@davethehostage SERIOUSLY!? You're arguing about fucking politics on a music video?! Just chill out and enjoy this awesome video by this awesome band!

[davethehostage]

@moket123 Dude, perhaps you should read the whole conversation. The guy I was talking to was trying to tell me that this song is about the Obama administration. I was telling him to stfu.

[moket123]

@moket123 Well then he's obviously mentally disabled. No need to start an intense debate with him.

[GrooveThumper]

I'm getting this album, the vocals are amazing, love the singing.

[Blackdragon5151]

this song is really fucking good i was afraid to listen to this album thinking that they were going to go full on scene metalcore but this is great they maintain their own sound keep it technical and have something to say, really blew me away wasnt expecting to like this as much as i did

[betterlucknextyear]

@washburn085 yup. opinions are for one to own up to, and since you seem to be mr. know it all, i guess i'll have set aside with opinions and put together the facts.

Chris was always the only band member classically trained, and no, Ben did not write the majority of the stuff, it was a very even effort of Chris and Ben both, and even Adam in the old days. NOW, Ben is a fuckin great guitarist, but clearly an even better business man.

[OHmygodXoBil3]

this video used to have 60 dislikes now its down to 28, people are getting smarter :D

[whitewalls1222]

@OHmygodXoBil3 this made me lol just thinking about people coming back and watching it again and going... well damn, this is pretty cool now that im actually paying attention to it lol

[washburn085]

Billy doesn't just do what Ben tells him to do, they wrote much of this album together. Billy and Chris are both great drummers (esp given Billy's age and experience). There is no reason to compare them. I am glad Chris left the band, there is less of a toxic environment now (no matter who's fault it was).

[betterlucknextyear]

@wrestlemania4lyf not by a long shot guy, Chris Pennie is one of the best drummers alive today... yes, he's in a fuckin pathetic band, but he is without a doubt one of the most creative, most classically trained, solid drummers alive today. aside from that, he plays like 6 different instruments and has study classically, so that give him the ability to match any certain drum hit to a not from a guitar, bass, or even a vocals. I'm not saying Rymer is bad at all, but Chris Pennie simply is better.

[dextarhaker]

billy rymer has to be the least creative drummer in metal at the moment.. just playing what weinman tells him

[betterlucknextyear]

Also, I must admit that if Greg would just shut up all together, and the last minute of this song was less melodic, and more dynamic and choppy (while still staying mellow) I would give this song 4 stars. Again, I can't support this, but I'm just glad that is so much better than Ire Works. And this Billy Rymer guy ain't no Chris Pennie, but I like his style.

[wrestlemania4lyf]

@betterlucknextyear Billy Rymer is a far superior drummer

[betterlucknextyear]

@JohnothanK dude, dynamic? Come on man, you seriously believe that this or ire works is more dynamic and has a stronger sense of musicianship than Calculating Infinity? Or even Miss Machine? Don't get me wrong, I believe that Ben and Liam are excellent musicians, but that's the reason why I'm critizicing this! Cuz I know they're capable of something sssooo much better.

[munkyhead7]

Guys, do have any idea what tuning are they using for this song? Is it the same for the rest of the songs on the album? Thanks.

[washburn085]

@munkyhead7 they stay in standard.

[betterlucknextyear]

I will say this... The first 50 seconds of this song are way better than Ire Works in its entireity, but Dillinger will never be what they were.

[JohnothanK]

@betterlucknextyear how can you say that?

So what if they experiment with dynamic now? Is it not an evolutionary step?

[hamburgler124]

@betterlucknextyear i know instead of making new albums they should keep rereleasing calculating infinity.

[betterlucknextyear]

And once Chris left, I have no idea what happened! As it is clear that Chris is a fantastic and irreplaceable drummer, it is also clear that their creativity and their thirst for anger dissapeared when he left....

[washburn085]

@betterlucknextyear seeing as Ben did the majority of the song writing even when Chris was there, creativity didn't leave with him. And Greg has been the vocalist longer than any other for this band, he is the voice of this band and has really come into his own and surpassed the others, well, Patton is in his own league. I think this album is there best since Calculating... but that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions... and yours stinks, Gaaragirl188 is on point.

[betterlucknextyear]

Then, Dimitri departed and Greg joined and the mediocre-but-acceptable effort of Miss Machine was released.....

[betterlucknextyear]

Then, along came "Calculating Infinity", and it had musicians from all sorts of generes wondering how such a masterpiece was written. Truley, a quintessential mark for Hardcore...

[betterlucknextyear]

How sad... Let's date back to 2000. Adam Doll was still in the band adding his very cleaverly electronic touch, and Chris, Dimitri, Ben, and Jeff were making what at the time they made best: CHAOS! Then Adam went, but they recruted Brian and Liam and their musicianship stayed intact....

[betterlucknextyear]

@Gaaragirl188 then you clearly haven't heard much music in your lifetime.

[Gaaragirl188]

wow. they are truely the most amazing and impressive and tremendously talented bands i've ever heard in my lifetime.

[thatswaychance]

i want that double kick pedal

[duffy9076]

This song is fuckin amazing if u forget about that annoying guitar riff thing towards the beginning of the song

[lolh4x]

@duffy9076 You mean the slowdown at like 1:57? If you think that is annoying, then you're a fucking idiot.

[duffy9076]

@lolh4x no im talking about the sound the guitar makes at like 1:25 before it slows down. but u can go ahead and bitch bc someone said they dont like part of a song u like anyway if u still want to

[nirvanaguitar]

looks like the drummer has a dip in his mouth

[EastCoastHC]

Great album. If you haven't seen them live, you're seriously missing out.

[nyeehmads]

this is such an epic music video, epic song and epic band! thumbs up lads

[CursedSun09]

@nyeehmads lads?! im female and I fricken love Dillinger :D

thumbs up anyways though :D

[thatswaychance]

@nyeehmads u stole my line hahahhaa go dillinger! :P

[thatswaychance]

this is such an epic music video

[BarryinStlouis]

The new drummer is pretty sick too... These guys are fucking ninjas...

[welcometofuntime]

so fuckin sick. Not bad considering they lost a nasty drummer.

[errfury]

the last time this band was any good was in 2007

[Sornzora]

@errfury Your post made no sense, considering 2007 was the album before this. If you said another album year it would. Personally I think Ire Works was their only bad album.

[camshaft189]

fuck ya saw them at Warped Tour yesterday. I was able to meet Greg, Jeff, Liam, and Ben and got my TDEP t-shirt signed by them :D

[matthewgoodnight]

No other phrase can come to mind when listening to DEP except.... Brutally bad ass.

[travisme123]

The opening guitar is very eerie. It reminds me of the opening to Cesspools in Eden by Dead Kennedys. Which is another band I love.

[ahauptfleisch]

too good

[VickyVengeance0]

This song is fucking amazing! Greg's voice is unbelievable, from 1.53 onwards the song is particularly epic :D But on the whole, one of my favorite songs of the year so far :D

[deftrok]

BRUTAL!!!!!



[aldousband0000000000]

i like the stress on their faces throughout the video. makes it seem hard...because it is...

[xKikiFreakyx]

epic hot mens*-* I like this song so much. And video is simple and the same time is perfect ^^

[marchenoir44]

YES! more creepy, dry humbcky sounds.

[DrZaius21]

amazin'

[DancingNinjaKid]

i lol'd

[grh11071]

Sounds like the 28 days later sound track where he eye gouges the guy youtube. com/watch?v=ST2H8FWDvEA

[metal999addict]

The beginning of this song just sounds like a lot of stupid noise

[sdpdude9]

@metal999addict

It's actually ridiculous musicianship.

[xBaphometHx]

@metal999addict To a unexpert ear.

[metal999addict]

@xBaphometHx Not a grammar expert, I take it?

[xBaphometHx]

@metal999addict English is not my first language. So it's normal for me to commit mistakes.

[thomo2009]

loving the "lady gaga" tag :)

[seetherfeast777]

i think the fart tag is better though

[zaccman922]

@muntahal44 It's a music video, you goddamn fucking spam bot.

[Captaincereal2]

anybody else think he sounds like trent reznor towards the end? "don't you ever try to be..."?

[BluesMaddy]

@Captaincereal2 He also sounds like him when he performed "Wish" live with NIN.

[goldbond197666]

great vocal harmonics

[zullone]

poison the well influence at the beginning!

[theforkisonthetable]

ill be honest. ive been listening to this album over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

i cant get enough. i just cant. ill see you crazy fuckers on Warped

[rugbywrx03]

DEP never fails to amaze. Keep putting out the killer tunes guys!

[theedgeinshow]

DEP is just so sick........and I think they are getting better with every album. This song is just so awesome

[arcademayhem]

pero qué grandes son, cada vez mejores. los putosAMOS

[danielcalderon]

@twitzke83 you have no clue WTF nintendocore is(and just so you know your guess is NOWHERE close:D) so stfu and go listen to some mainstream singles because Dillinger didn't write this song so that you cab put down the first minute and a half, you enjoy it as a whole or you don't.

[OllieOnTheRadio]

The first minute or so is more of a taste you have to develop, to me it's as genius as the rest of the song. Just a colossal wave of sound that dwarfs me everytime I hear it.

[twitzke83]

I never liked this band and I still don't like the first 1:50 of this song but the rest of it is amazing. Take out the nintendo-core crap at the beginning and this is genius. I have to hand it to Liquid Metal on Sirius XM for getting me hooked on this song, I never would have given it a 2nd chance but they play it a lot.

[seetherfeast777]

@twitzke83

do you even know what nintendo core is?

this sounds nothing like that

sounds nothing like horse the band

[brindley111]

every part of this song is fucking perfect.

[zachcow]

i wish i could listen to bands like this for more than a minute. i respect what they do and the skill that goes into making songs like this but its just too grating on my ears.

[brurzum]

@zachcow - Just bulid up a tolerance to it. I got into death metal by listening to a few songs until my ears started hurting. Then stopped, came back and built up a tolerance like that :)

Just don't try and build up a tolerance too fast.

[metal999addict]

@brurzum Why would anyone "build up a tolerance" to a genre of music? They should listen to what they like and fuck the rest

[zachcow]

@brurzum haha, i actually bought this album and its been in my car for the last week!

[bedlam23]

And still my favorite band

[codeaires]

Greg has a sexy voice.

[XGREEDOX]

i love this album so much

[phloprox]

The little interlude sounds so Incubus like.

[JaCkRaBiTs99]

DONT CHOO EVER TRYYYYYY TO BEEEEEEE MORE THAN U WERE DESTINED FOR!!! OR ANYTHING WERE FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yeah bitch!!

[beyondyourreality]

Not a big fan of this band in general....sorry....but this song is very fucking cool

[rawrcalumx]

@beyondyourreality should check out their Miss Machine album if you havent already, may change your mind

[beyondyourreality]

@rawrcalumx I will have to do that. Recently brought Option Paralysis...and its fucking awesome

[deadbeatfridays]

if ur diggin on dep, check out deadbeat fridays on myspace and the tube, new ep feat DtEaAkDeBoEvAeTr, new vids and pics we love you!

[nicnacattack102]

the singer looks kinda like vin diesel

[Raro404]

There's one thing I don't like about this album....every song I listen to feels like it ends too soon. I just want each song to go on forever....its something unreal.

[CoughCoughShitShit]

He added lady gaga so that the millions of dipshits who search her on youtube can find this...5stars

[Xdaywalker666X]

-1 to the uploader for adding lady gaga to the labels. i've seen shitty labels in my days but lady gaga on a DEP video? KILL IT WITH FIRE!

[McTauly]

best album of the year, I love you guys

[pissrhoads]

Math and math and math !!DEP most complete album

[AviadShitrit]

Am I'm the only one who hear the Resident Evil's soundtrack in the middle of the song?

[beyondyourreality]

@AviadShitrit Bloody Oath it does.....I was just thinking the same thing

[brindley111]

continuous minfuck. but its incredible.

[trentlaugerman]

God damnit! I can't freakin wait to share the same stage with these guys when we open up for them in MN!!!

[xXBLKBox]

I'm going to that show, what's your bands name?

[slipknotx66]

@trentlaugerman Which band would that be?

[FrKAnc]

I agree,there is some amazing shots!the music is not for me anymore!with the years it just became noise...but I'd love to shot them at their gigs

[sonudra]

Beautifully chaotic, as any DEP song should be.

[SuchloserWanderer]

At first I didn't like the look of this video, but it got better and better. Some incredibly beautiful shots in there. Nice!

[mobiusstrip01]

while my favorite DEP song is still SETTING FIRE TO SLEEPING GIANTS, this song is moving up nicely...even thru a couple of the patton tunes.

[schizma111]

still pretty much the best song on the album.

not really impressed with the lyrics, but then again, Dillinger's lyrics always were a bit... different :p

TAKE A BOW

YOU DESERVE IT

EAT SHIT

YOU EARNED IT

LIFE WOULD BE

SO MUCH BETTER

IF YOU DID NOT EXIST

^ their best album

[SY5TEMxOfxAxD0WN]

tell ya`ll what..i`am a 54yr old man... and this band blows me the fuck away,every time i see em...been around the block a few times these boy`s huh ?

[Vajrayana514]

I am quite simply going to shit when i get my hands on Option Paralysis.

[darthbyrd]

Masters of their craft. Dillinger brings the precise fury once again.

[covenantfighter]

1:52 - 3:26

amazing

[TruckerMurph]

i will never get it....why you internet morons can argue over a rad piece of art....maybe you should just get a sandwich and call it a day....

oh, and yeah......every record this awesome band has put out.....has frikin ruled......suck it trebeck.....

[FokusPokus]

This song blew me the fuck away when I first heard it some months ago. The whole album is just totally insane! I can't in words describe how awesome it is. It's at least 5 times better than Miss Machine, and that's saying alot.

[Praveexx]

eargasm <3

[Beastoftheline]

jizz

[CaveSoundMeister]

I changed my mind after a few listens (as always): not only the VIDEO, but the SONG itself is almost PERFECT! From the extreme math-core beggining (which is almost as good as my personal favourite in this regard, namely PANASONIC YOUTH) to the EPIC ending. And I don't fucking care if it's simple or complicated, it's played extremely well and it ROCKS!!!

[JamesxGenocide]

im sorry but this video sucks...the song is great though

[Flucktube]

My album Of the year so far =D

[DasDoomstick]

You guys are lame, unlike dillinger.
