Pain of Salvation - Handful of Nothing (Ending Themes live DVD at Paradiso)

[andresordo]

Best live song ever !!

[BdonYoo]

I don't even want to attempt to understand the complex rhythms in this song.Holy fuck this is incredible!

[CollectingSoul]

The additional part at the end makes this song so much more powerful. Great performance.

[Webofscience]

How the hell does he play this and sing at the same time?!?!

[mcufre]

@Webofscience the fuck knows....

[ShortSonata94]

The drums really are amazing here actually, love it.

[xXxNightMareZ]

@ShortSonata94 one of the hardest songs known by men

[kshlomi]

Drums are insane in this song.

[sirobelec47]

One of the really very few bands that ARE better sounding live than in the studio. O.O

[eloann]

@sirobelec47 I'm going to find out in november... and Opeth can't hurt either ;)

[yngwiemaiden48]

@eloann Same here, got tickets for the Barcelona show :D

[dezodude]

@eloann me tooooo

[FrederickThordendal]

7-6-5-4-3-2-1

7-6-5-4-3-2-1

=P

[freminick123]

4:30 daniel and the keyboardist just wow! perfect

[perfectgentleman87]

Probably the best group of last 15 years

[Unciauncia1]

What a powerful song, with a powerful message, really great lycrics, a perfect song ! I think in a short time....we all get a fistful of enough^^

[rottenwyrm]

2 guys are fans of justin bieber

[pgouy]

@azal191 they still are.. just aren't "metal" anymore.. This is one of their best songs though!

[azal191]

these guys used to be so amazing.

[mynameisniu]

cool version! it sounds even better than the studio one!

[Soilwar]

Wow have never heard one of their songs before.. gotta say I'm very impressed.

Seems to be a fantastic live band! What a sound!

[rafaelsbz]

The studio version just feels incomplete to me without the final solo. Thank you guys, you ruined my song by live-performing it awesomely better.

[rujiel17]

Great performance, but the camerawork is inappropriately showy.

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

I think their guitars pretty much sums up what a progmetal guitar should look like, maybe i have to buy me a Mayones one day, when i have the money!!

[eloann]

@SkeksisBestSongEver I got myself a Setius last winter, good stuff indeed :)

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

@eloann Nearest place you can get Mayones guitars from where i live are Poland, Norway and Germany which aren´t that far, but think i stick to my Ibanez for some time yet! But i´m looking forward to see POS live on Saturday 15 minutes from where i live, just hope they play a lot of their old stuff and not 80 procent new material!

[zebeeb101]

@SkeksisBestSongEver it was never by how it looks its wt u can do with it

[Thedoors71]

ONE person fail at life..

[Altairograph]

The rythm is kinda crazy and they play it so perfectly...wow!

[marimba94]

Prior to seeing this, I always wondered what it would be like if PoS took their technical abilities and used them to their full extent.

[Elitex2097]

I'm going to buy this fucking dvd.

[kingdomloss]

Geat DVD.

Watch my channel for a song of the new album Road Salt.

[drabbster]

does anyone know his 7-string mayones-guitar with strangely curved frets? he played it with transatlantic last tuesday in frankfurt (germany)

[therealZhuriel]

@drabbster that's a true temperament fretboard, those are made with each note tuned individually in an unequal temperament.

[manydaysago]

@eloann Even finger tapping and humming to this would be difficult!  The descending riff is ridiculous, and how Daniel sings a totally different rhythm over it! I'm not here for the technical aspect, but god it's amazing!

[acadavidl]

Omg from 3:31 to 3:41 that was Epic!

[jorninorion]

great performance..

[gnereitor]

5:15 He's a god! :D

[Ziur66]

06:05

Look at Daniels hand. The sound coming from his amplifier is constant, but (I don't know how to say that in english) he's moving his hand. Mute the right speaker and look carefully They recorded this moment once again in the studio i think. (sorry for my bad english)

[duumitri]

u're right ^^

[8PILGRIM8]

it's true but you spoil the whole show

[Ziur66]

You're blaming me that they have done such thing ? You know, I'm a musician and I hate that sort of stuff. For me it's better to listen and watch a TRUE show.

[8PILGRIM8]

I do not blaming you my friend, on the contrary I agree with you, but I say you can not know what was theire intention and they do that exeptionnaly for the dvd, and do not make hasty judgments, (for me the intention is the most important thing)

sorry for the english

[Sproeikoei]

Hmm, i think it's quite possible what he did ;) But still i don't know =/ I mean, i move my fingers as playing constant 8ths and sometimes 16ths but those are just dead notes ;) for the extra feel it sometimes gives. (most of the people won't hear them anyway)

[pyrexia82]

every band does that for DVDs....sorry to burst your bubble ;)

[MrHexOmega]

i salute them, simpley the best live performance ever... so much energy!!!!!!

[manydaysago]

Yeah, to be honest I miss Daniel using the Parker Fly, a cooler look and better sound. But I wonder if he's gonna bring the new fretless midi on stage, that thing is awesome!

[recv4]

What a astonishing performance great PoS

[X0xSwitchx0X]

I like this song on the cd, but hot dam, this is 100 times better lol the instrumental part is absolutely amazing. Tasty solo ;)

[SpudTheJosh]

fucking Amsterdam, Netherlands

[edthehead83]

love the chorus/flange sound around 3:12

[vinbasshred]

wow. that's undeniable ownage.

[DirtyDoug669]

goddamn, I love this version of this song so much.

The power in his voice at the end, and then the instrumental track afterwards just absolutely blows my mind.

[Oskyguitar]

increible... k nivel carajo ¡¡¡¡ ^^

[Etiainen]

It's amazing how the crowd's motion goes "errr..." as soon as they start playing the instrumental ending :)

[maidenfans]

GAMATO!

[klowkler1]

Johan got an ESP, homemade.

[Cuddrow]

They both use Mayones guitars, as far as I know.

[oblivion4lcf]

Yeap once u go mayo u never go back!!!gonna grab one of those babies!!!

[Xadeas]

He uses mayones too. Never seen him playing live with his ESP since BE Production Stage thingy.

[edthehead83]

Talking about Hallgren I presume. Well he does use the ESP in this concert for Used.

[Xadeas]

@edthehead83 in this concert he uses his mayones :)

[edthehead83]

Yes, but when they play "Used" he plays his ESP.

[Ziur66]

The outro kicks ass !!!!!!

[PaulaPOS]

OMFG i wish i could headbang with Daniel... 5:30 and on

[RedFuryMusic]

Try singing the verse at about 1:00 and try to keep the rythm on guitar...

This is really an outstanding performance !!

[DissidentGenro]

Not to mention both vocally and guitar parts are absolutely flawless! :) He is an absolute genius...they all are!

[kingofloss86]

Gotta love Johan!!

[ARRGHcheese]

Is Johan ever not shirtless?

[sswriter09]

Ahhhh man i'd never seen this live before. After "God how could i believe" i was SO ready for water. That transition is my favorite part of the whole album....

However, the live ending is probably the heaviest thing i've ever heard from PoS. Kudoss.

[SSSavio]

I thought they have contract with Ibanez. But he play other guitar and put the sign ibanez on... lol

[davidblaster]

does anyone know their respective guitar models?

[IllusionaryMind8]

you should check out the new signature model of Daniel (white and fretless MIDI guitar)

[Sproeikoei]

i thought it was ESP? Don't know the rest :P 7 strings...

[chargrave]

Concrete Lake and Remedy Lane are the two albums I listen too most, being a concept album Handful might not mean much on it's own but its' an integral part of the story, a blistering performance.

[fsdream]

loved the outro

the song kicked ass already without it, nice touch

danny keeps blowing my mind

[tomjut]

It doesn't get much better than this.

[lukemachin37]

If earth had to choose 1 human to negotiate a truce with another planet i would nominate this guy!!! The pure fact is that the tone he creates is like no other never mind his range!!

I'm going to Orlando from UK in july for Prog Nation 09, Longlive great imaginative and tasteful progressive music, hearyee hearyee!!!!!!

[xevastra]

4:40

so much groove , awesome.

[ryanyunck]

agreed

[serenity778]

love the guitar 2 this one

[MikeoWar]

Holy... This band is so weird... In an awesome way!! Why have I missed this band? :D The lead singer is just pure.. pure genious, I gotta hand it to him :O

[HicinPie]

doesnt Danny have something like a 5 1/2 vocal octave range or something?

[lasseforsure]

I don't think he can go off the piano, su I guess max. 3,5. :P

[soocool78]

@MikeoWar check out the song reconciliation, the whole song has great singing, but for about 8 seconds it is the most powerful singing i ever ehard

[MikeoWar]

@soocool78 Since I made that comment I've listened to all the material there is a zillion times :) I love reconciliation!

I'm a bit sad to say though that I didn't like the new EP, mortar grind made me grind my teeth... or something... But I'm still feeling hopeful that the new album will have a few songs of high quality.

[prozakarol]

Mind-blowing performance!!! Damn!

[jankewich]

Don't you just love that ending?... So freaking cool! I hope they come to México on the Prog Nation '09 tour

[crazyincyprus]

this is the best of the best. elite of the elite. top of tops. daniel what a performance. what a voice!

man i ve got shivers!!!!!

[drummer1985portnoy]

I just got BE from Amazon, but this is next on my list.

[Chris0BW]

Fucking song ! 7654321 lol. I'm trying to learn it on drums but GOD, it's not easy. Nice solo at the end (well, nice bonus outro !!) !

PoS disappointed me with Scarsick, but I still have faith in them.

[SteveVaiFreak]

I feel the same for scarsick ...

I just hope they don't do like Dt and begin to release "tasteless" albums

but can't wait for their next release

[dimedizzle]

wat

[flippinfl00b]

I want to see new years eve from this dvd i have the album its sooo sick

[Proghead88]

playing guitar while singing isn't that much harder than playing drums while singing. He's just doing a bit extra with the rhythm guitar. Granted, it is hard, but it's nothing that a few weeks practicing can't master.

[nnellenn]

Por supuesto te has dado cuenta de que no está haciendo rítmica la mayor parte del tiempo sino punteos, y por supuesto que te has dado cuenta de que las lineas vocales son totalmente distintas ritmicamente a lo que toca, verdad? yo soy bateria y cantante, y te aseguro que no es sencillo tocar y cantar, pero tocar asi la guitarra y cantar como Daniel es infinitamente más complejo.

[Proghead88]

Créeme, yo puedo tocar esta canción en todos los instrumentos (si no crees que puedo, escucha mi cover de Diffidentia o mi interpretación de Nihil Morari y otros videos), es verdad lo que dices, PERO, muchos músicos lo tratan come si fuera "imposible". Si, es MUY difícil. Pero hasta el mismo dijo: "esos ritmos no son complicados si te has pasado la vida entera tocando ritmos así".

Ahora, "Mrs. Modern Mother Mary" seria mucho mas complicado, por la increíble dinámica con que la canta.

[Proghead88]

De todas maneras, la forma en que el toca "H.O.N." es muy similar al tocar bateria y cantar. La parte de guitarra es "automatica" cuando el canta. Obviamente no es muy melodico. Solamente 2 notas. Igual que cuando el hace el "rap" de Diffidentia encima de los acentos en los "upbeats" con la guitarra: dos posiciones, y el resto un ritmo repetitivo. El ritmo de la voz es repetitivo tambien y la emoción en esas partes no es tan intensa.

[Proghead88]

Claro, es mucho mas difícil que cualquier otro ritmo que cualquier otra banda a tratado de ejecutar, que me hace amar a esta banda mas todavía. Solo digo que muchas personas le tienen miedo a estos estilos de tocar y seria productivo que lo miraran con una perspectiva mas simple.

[nnellenn]

Echaré un ojo a tu video, aunque ya he visto tu solo en Used. Muy bien ejecutado y con mucho gusto, por cierto.

Por qué no se encuentran músicos como tu en España..:(

Un saludo.

[Proghead88]

Si quieres subscribete. Ahora estoy en Boston estudiando musica y no tengo mucho tiempo para poner videos en Youtube, pero en el verano tengo muchas cosas que voy a grabar. En realidad lo único con que me quede satisfecho fue "Diffidentia". Todo lo demás no es tan reciente y veré si mis próximos videos serán mejor producidos/tocados (tendré mucho más tiempo). Estoy terminando de grabar "Handful of Nothing" y "People Passing By". También pondré canciones originales :)

Cuidate.

[tthornclownn]

Esperara con ansias las canciones originales ; ) Ahora, siguiendo con la discucion, creo inclusive que es mas dificl tocar/cantar la ultima parte de Used que HoN, dado que las harmonias vocales ahi son bastante complicadas de ejecutar.

Lo frustrante de HoN es que, es dificil volver re-encontrar el ritmo si enventualmente uno se "pierde". Aunque se toque de forma automatica, igual hay que tener cierto grado de concentracion. (La cual se que yo no lograria si tambien empiezo a cantar =P)

[andresilvestresantos]

i discovered this awesome band through Mike Portnoy and i've got to say he has a really good music taste!!! Pain of Salvation music is impressive!!

[proggedout]

such a great band! I wish people would stop leaving the band!

I love their older stuff, Daniel = best vocals in prog, what a range!

[2112nico]

amazing band, amazing concert

[CharismaticShredder]

the best band in the world

they should be more successful

i'm buying this dvd

[ascendantdeath]

That's nuts! Playing that rhythm and singing at the same time...what an extraordinary talent Danny G is.

[SteveVaiFreak]

one of the best on the tracklist there...

[BewaretheSilhouette]

I love the added outro! Awesome song!

[Alweex]

My Favourite!

[yanivbrk]

DANIEL U R NONHUMAM!

i bought this DVD and so should u... unbelievable performance!

[scarsickED]

Definition of Perfection

[henri0491]

Amazing outro! This is a wonderful live performance for a great song.

I'm dying to see Nightmist video and of course to have this DVD!

[kingofloss86]

I am soooooo buying this dvd!!!!

[absinthhhminded]

lol this is the first time I see Fredrik singing!

[saadazzz]

AMAZING Performance!!

How is Daniel SINGING and playing this at the same time !!!!!!????

I never thought the drums for this song could be performed that good...

Johan at 6:51 .....

LOOOOOL

[kingofloss86]

Yeah that's fucking amazing! I mean.... I am a drummer, i'd say a rather good one, but I still haven't figured out to play this rythm, not even with my hands!!!

And daniel plays it and sings like it's nothing...

[eloann]

The main riff goes 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 if that can help you at all. Someone on the Remedy Lane forum had tabbed it ages ago but I can't find it again.

[kingofloss86]

Thank you, the funny thing is, after posting this coment I realised that on my own, after knowing the song for many years.... Still it is hard to play, because "counting" the numbers at this tempo is pretty hard.

You basically have to "feel" it I guess.

[BewaretheSilhouette]

It's the different variations of 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 that's really tough to play, though. I haven't figured all of those out yet.

Still, he sings while playing it. Awesome.

[jedynyiprawdziwyGomo]

@kingofloss86 I would say you suck if it wasn't so f...ing difficult:D

[saadazzz]

Finally!!!!

THANKS!!!
