Manipulation- The Black Angels

[SuperMario16bit]

Dat Brian Jonestown Massacre

[Bruchac]

well he sure does remember lots of colours.

[pipette1001]

damn, this song is fucking amazing.

[xXdeadpool82Xx]

are there two singers???



[PokadotMeProductions]

@xXdeadpool82Xx In this song yes, Alex Maas the lead singer sings like usual, accompanied by Christian Bland !(:

[elloko]

It's funny that they reminds so diffrent bands. The clue is clear - they're not copying anyone, they' ve own style! Fuckin great band!

[WillyFeelerbusch]

Total fucking rock stars.

[foobazabar]

I cant count the number of consecutive day's I've come to this page to listen to this song... Oh she's got me, got me.

[PokadotMeProductions]

This is extremely Velvet Underground, I saw them live yesterday. I was front row, mind = blown.

[innagottavita]

i just got back from 4knots. they are great live. this is very joy division.

[QyuBallin]

I hear New Order/ Joy Division in this song.

[TheMintRanger]

eargasm.

[machinimafan27]

something happened. there's a chick who hates me. she smiles a lot. you can see right through it. Her burning soul. Maybe it's in her eyes. You can feel her madness. she can and will call you out. She definitly has a dark side. She didn't make chorus for next year at 7th grade. She is sad. You can feel it. My life connects to the black angels. anyone else, pleas speak up.

[TheSeanDevlin]

Alex Maas sounds like Ian Curtis In this song.

[goonergael]

amazing band. lucky to have seen them. every musician is very nice! And yeah, she is an amazing drummer!

[tsurumichan]

they remind me of the black angels

[machinimafan27]

@tsurumichan they ARE the black angels. duh.

[tsurumichan]

@machinimafan27

machinimafan27 missed the floor of satire on the yellow elevator

[MrMrHuckleberry]

@machinimafan27 ...i think he might have been joking......

[BBallertt]

They remind me of Starsailor.

[jayebabeful]

love these guys

[classicROCKER56789]

NIIIIIICE vevo hasnt gotten to them yet :D

[skateHEAVEN1212]

the lead singers sounds like a mixture of morisson and nico

[machinimafan27]

hard to believe thewes guys are from 2005...

[Murkstar2012]

this song is so my shit!!!!!!!

[machinimafan27]

IM DETECTING LARGE QUANTITIES OF WIN IN THIS SONG.

[denouements]

listen to this at 3 in the morning with a pair of really good bass headphones. nuff said.

[BRMC84]

I dont play computer games, who cares if this is on one or not its a fucking TUNE either way!

[rhysthedark]

found them from a surfing vid :O

[hoover783]

uh i found them through that tv commercial... no matter i like em.

[Hassler247]

Ridiculous by now anyways, video games have a stronghold on soundtracks at this point...and that's only gonna happen more as games become more lifelike and the demand for storylines and in-game cinema continues to grow...But who gives a fuck?! Really why does it matter how people came upon good music...People talk as if their is some prestige because they have followed a band from the beginning, but really what are you getting from it? So just chill and enjoy the music.

[Cazz814]

@Hassler247 I agree I came across this band from Fable 3 too, but yeah videogames seem to greenlight awesome music that gets ignored by the radio and for that I give them some praise.

[Nicookr]

@Cazz814 nah, they just use alt rock for nearly all commercials xD its actually really weird. maybe it's because it's cheaper to use... who knows.

[greeneups]

@Cazz814 yeah man, I used to play this game called VietCong when i was a little kid, and that introduced me to Iggy and the Stooges. And a bunch of other low key 60's artists.

[Lrpesme48]

ok, sigh, I hate to get involved, but it's not that hard to figure out, the peeps who love this music are alarmed at what they perceive to be the cheapening of it by the availability in a freaking video game and are alarmed that those of us who might not be suitably appreciative are thereby jamming. Seriously, elitists, s'all good, damn for real.

[vickeeandaddie]

Sooo good. <3

[arnidus]

Now.... that's music!

[calif0rniacation]

what do you think the colors symbolize in this song? i've been trying to figure it out for so long !

[TheJurneyMan]

Josh Homme's Rekords Rekords web site introduced  me to The Black Angels

[megagun56]

Its sad to see the band whore out like that .60's psychedelic throwback band does not equal medieval rpg. Unless your taking the proper hallucinogens, that is. But hey, people will forget Fable 3 and The Black Angels will rock on. So who cares.

[Molecule56]

I have been into these guys for a few years now, and as an avid video gamer I was so stoked to see the commercial for Fable 3. (The game itself, sadly, didn't live up to the song... just finished it last night.) The commercial gave me chills, the game made me long for Fable 2.

[TimCollinsATL]

Made me think of Jefferson Airplane when i first heard them

[xerxerxex]

This trips Roger Waters out! sorry I had to type that.

[digherbones]

THANK YOU

[SirRandolphWinston]

People who like Joy Division are try hards of the highest order who know nothing about music.....there i've said it. The Black Angels even with this one song have contributed more to music than the entire Joy Division catelog.

[gutsdozer]

This song reminds me a lot of The Secret Machines.

[Weedhunterzify]

Kind of song who give me reason to try LSD XD

[GreenChilliD]

This is good shit.......

[danny6231]

i like them but their openings are wwaaayyy to long

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

@danny6231 its because their roots are in psychedelia

pink floyd, velvet underground, they all had much longer intros

once you pick up on the nuances of the music it doesn't really bother you

[Vertou77]

thats a great song!!

[mickslpknt7]

I completely agree with the MuffinMan, just listen to the music and forget commenting or anything because no one reads this crap anymore

[MuffinManTF]

Everyone who talks shit about Fable 3 bringing people here is stupid. Everyone gets brought to music somehow. That's like making fun of people for liking a song because they heard it on the radio. It's all media. But, as long as people don't say they love this band when they like one song of theirs. I'm really digging this band and have been listening to alot of their stuff and Fable 3 brought me to like them.

People need to stop talking shit and enjoy the fucking music

[Shinzu92]

@MuffinManTF Fable 3 brought me here.

[zkintzillustration]

@MuffinManTF agreed sir.

[OmnisOrtus]

@MuffinManTF ive never even played fable i just heared the song on the comertial and thought it was bad ass and looked it up

[classicROCKER56789]

@MuffinManTF so your one of the fable fags then?? 

[robthestoner001]

@classicROCKER56789 so you're one of those dumb ignorant cunts then?

[AheooKillerTofu]

@MuffinManTF i think i fell in love

[thatodtdude]

@MuffinManTF Hell yeah bro the same for me, they got a badass beat

[blaky039]

@MuffinManTF well said!

[sobeity]

@MuffinManTF

sorry..what you say? i was to busy listening to the black angels

[Nivekttonk22]

bin nur über fable3 zu der Band gekommen

[Gwmcmi02]

@Nivekttonk22 What the hell does Fable3 mean?

[Chlaus95]

@Gwmcmi02 it is a rpg

[Gwmcmi02]

@Chlaus95 Thanks, I was just joking with the guy speaking German few spots down.  Thx tho.

[Gerald360halowowness]

one dislike? these guys are just bad ass,only one pearson was stupid enough to dislike this video.

[arekkusu1234]

@Gerald360halowowness Sorry, I was tripping to hard and clicked it.

[ilovechipotle85]

@Gerald360halowowness i actually like this, but i'm gonna dislike it just to annoy you cuz obviously it gets under your skin.

[enterthafatass]

HERP DERP FABLE 3 SENT ME HURR DERP DERP DERP.

[Fergusonguitar]

@enterthafatass

Just because Fable 3 got people to start listening doesn't mean you shoulg get pissy. :/

[theakhammer17]

I am so glad they wrote this song for Fable 3. Great Job! :P

[Tee2theBag]

@theakhammer17 lol wrong song... ur thinkin of Young Men Dead... but this band is amazing...

[SmoothHourglass]

I think I might have discovered a new band to pick up a cd for! I'll just have to check out a few more of their songs first.

[dopeybear420]

good stoned music

[pbainbridge]

Awesome shit.!

[psychomik08]

Im going to go support this band by buying some of their shit. I dig it. and the drummer chick. fucking hot. im surprised that i didnt know of this band till the Fable 3 trailer

[PooPoo2U]

ok, i like the black angels, i really do, but god damn, does their drummer not know any other beats? all the songs come out sounding the same!

[necrovox1973]

great band. this song sounds like Farflung though

[necrovox1973]

great band. this song sounds like Farflung though

[benizc00L]

some of their songs remind me of the doors. Anyone else?

[docctrl]

@benizc00L thought of the doors first time i heard them... and every time since... =P

[PooPoo2U]

@benizc00L: sounds more like the rolling stones crossed with jefferson airplane.

[strat458796]

@benizc00L I was convinced that the singer was Jim Morrison but then i remembered.......he's dead lol

[Koolaiddewz]

@strat458796

I bet youre one of those people who think Elvis and Abraham Lincoln are dead too....

[LGee89]

@benizc00L ya definitley i actually saw the doors without jim in canada it was sic

[WolFilms90]

@benizc00L yeah! me to! i love the doors but i need black angels;D

[gurudevom]

@benizc00L without a doubt

[0cerpintaxt0]

@benizc00L +1 they also remind me of the velvet underground

[Cazz814]

@0cerpintaxt0 Yeah a lot of their inspiration seems to come from it, from what I've seen their logo is an image of Niko just colored differently.

[psychedeliclizard1]

@Cazz814 they got their name from the velvet underground song " the black angel's death cry"

[trannyplus1]

@benizc00L I'm right there with you man. I've had my doors experience and let me say I'm gonna be doing a Black Angels one too. If you want to join me let me know.

[thesparitan]

@benizc00L Totally

[enime]

@benizc00L That's how I describe them to someone who has never heard them before: Like the doors but with a contemporary edge.

[MyPuscifer]

@benizc00L yeah and neil young



[sillymickel]

@benizc00L just found out about them now. been sharing on FB how they're like The Doors. And lead singer sounds like Jim Morrison

[cleanplasticchild]

@benizc00L Maybe... combined with Bauhaus.

[diesedanielanen]

geting stoned while listening to this band is just awesome

[ShyGuy236]

@diesedanielanen you should try rush they are also GREAT! for that xD

[Fergusonguitar]

Syd barrett-ish lyrics. sorta.

[PitchBlack696]

@RockeracdcCC1 Hell yeah, I actually thought the first song I heard from them was some Doors song I never heard.

[diedahero]

@PitchBlack696 lol, if you told the lead singer that he might try to kiss you.

[aoc198912]

Sound like King Crimson also

[aoc198912]

They sound like Suns of the Tundra

[contramantra]

Jesus Christ 1:30 sounds like a song from the 90's, and it's fucking killing me that I can't put my finger on it.

[DoraGray72]

@contramantra

Made me think of "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" by U2 - maybe that's what you're looking for?

[contramantra]

@DoraGray72 Pre 1:30 is definitely Bauhaus/Joy Division. But after that, I'm going to go with Peter Murphy on this one. Also, I hear mish-mash Filter/Butthole Surfers.

[greenlong1987]

He reminds me somewhat of Peter Murphy in the verse

[stankerpooch]

no, he sounds like Alex Maas, and the other sounds like Christian Bland....and if you want U2 yer on the wrong fuckun' page bub.

[lilsonoma04]

He sounds nothing like bono fuck U2 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[josefina213]

@lilsonoma04 1:30, Yes, he does.

[katnohat]

I can hear U2 in the vocals...he sings a little bit like Bono.

[gmdesmond09]

@katnohat you think it sounds like Bono because that's the only person u can think of to compare it to. if you listened to more psychedelic rock or more non-mainstream music in general, some other names would come to mind. so get the fuck out of here and stop contributing to this "sounds like U2" bullshit. You really are tainting the Black Angels. KEEP MUSIC EVIL.

[katnohat]

@gmdesmond09 I never said he was the only one it sounded like...I was simply explaining why some people thought it sounded like that cause others were like "U2? wtf?" Actually, psychedelic rock is one of my favorite genres. His voice sounds rather like Sid Barrett at the beginning. Now, to stop replying to an internet troll..

[katnohat]

@katnohat *syd

[hiragabaka]

A lot of Ian Curtis in this song

[gmdesmond09]

if u think this sounds like U2 you are fucking tripping. FUCK YOU, you don't even deserve to listen to this song.

[chisoxbaseball24]

@gmdesmond09 exactly, the people who think this sounds like u2 then they arent worthy to listen to this amazing music

[AheooKillerTofu]

puff puff pass my friends

[NorthwestAdventure]

Yellow yellow was her hair

icy grey was her glare

Manipulation

Manipulation

[strangefacekid]

[1000RustyParts]

[11audrey12]

[723cielo]

[errdayimhustlin]

[ricv64]

[yuktred]

[robasci00]

[robasci00]

[ccskate]

jefferson airplane-ish for sure haha

[analogWeapon]

yeah, but way better, imo.

[jtboll00]

i dont like any of those band but i love the black angels

[OwwKayy]

@robasci00 U2 ? I don't think they're anywhere in that mix, cuz they're way too lame !

[meotoko77]

@robasci00 I was thinkin along the lines of Kyuss and Jefferson Airplane.

[StadeRennOasis]

@robasci00

U2...? lol...

[intergalactic12]

@robasci00 + The Doors/ Neil Young - U2

[yakomuto]

@robasci00 Ugh... I fucking hate U2 it's a disgrace to this band.

[tullster28]

@yakomuto fuck off why do you hate U2 so much??? and dont give the the whole Bono is a d bag line, U2 is great musically, there is no reason why you should hate them with such distane

[Atonil]

@tullster28 They rock the same bass line evrey album they suck :P

[tullster28]

@Atonil fuck off no they dont, if you knew anything about music whatsoever and looked into it you'd know you're an idiot

[gurglepuck111]

@robasci00 You forgot Niel Young.

[Chlaus95]
