The Icarus Line-Slayer

[portinfinite]

This song is a ripoff of "Math Wiz" by LUNA. I like the Luna song better:

[ejmstokman]

what the fuck does this do in a SLAYER playlist????

wheres me fuckn thrashmetal

[mggimcg]

I like the Giant Drag Slayer better but this is a cool video.

[marcuscole9]

annie hardy from giant drag 2:13 XD y didnt any body see that

[newbeachinvasion]

this isn't slayer...

[madmiguelh2o]

@newbeachinvasion yeah their new album sucks huh. I mean I know artists need to reinvent themselves from time to time but I think i like seasons of the abyss a lot more than this. just my opinion.

[heavengypsy]

Joe's still killing it!! Cant wait for the new record!! Miss the old Icarus Line-up!!

[THESUPERCULT]

Joe's a fucking genius. Period.

[rabbittoyourfox]

Giant drag's version beats this a million times over.

[nicktaxidermy]

@rabbittoyourfox well, except that Joe wrote that song.

that said, I think both versions are pretty great.

[SocoAL87]

Aah man, such a shame for a band to go from making masterpieces like "Feed A Cat To Your Cobra", to this junk. What happened Icarus Line?

[SeanyMoore]

this isn't really a cover

Joe Cardamone wrote the song, and let Gian Drag use it for their album, and then later used it himself for Black Lives On The Golden Coast

much prefer this version, but Giant Drag's is still pretty awesome

[Anoblefly]

I really like how they've made a homage to the original artists of this song in the opening of this clip. Having listened to both version (and slightly biased) I still prefer the original, there's too much distortion in this for me and the song loses it's feel.

[mortalalien]

@Anoblefly haha this is technically the original song dude. Joe Cardamone wrote this song, and let Giant Drag use it.

[ikagamimasahiro]

ＲＯＣＫ真実

[Futuremonkee]

It's a Giant Drag cover.

[mortalalien]

@Futuremonkee wrong :)

[KiwiPeach13]

Do people actually think emo and gay are insults??? What's so bad about being gay or emo?

[EvilEmpire200616]

@KiwiPeach13 Well, in respect to emos, if we're going to generalize, the majority of them are complete posers, and normally 14 year olds. Pretty lame...

[KiwiPeach13]

@EvilEmpire200616 haha true but it's kind of sad when the best insult someone can come up with is emo or gay.

[EvilEmpire200616]

@KiwiPeach13 Have to agree with you there. It is kind of pathetic that people really lack imagination.

[almost2cool]

Black Lives At the Golden Coast is a great Album, but my fav is Mono, and there is nothing emo about this band. One of the best post hardcore/ rock style band I've ever listen to!

[zombiedawn50]

Oh and another thing, this band have notheing to do with emo...they have more in common with the Stooges and Jane's Addiction than my Chemical whatever. If actually got your head's out of your arse, and listened to other types of music....and by the way I love Slayer...but I also love Miles Davis, and MC5, and Marvin Gaye.

[zombiedawn50]

This is the Icarus Line, one of the best bands in LA go back and listen to your Dungeons and Dragons music you you homophobic retards.

[0Dragunov]

Oh my fucking God, what is this fucking shit?

Gay Icarus should change this song's name, he deserve to be punished!!!

Hate Emo queer singer.

[lasfinisimas]

Gay, emo? Reaction formation...

This band isnt emo, this song sounds like Dinosaur Jr to me, so have a little respect for the people who can appreciate good music.

[ravemoonster]

up against the wall motherfuckers! jajaja

[Nebzz]

WTF is this shit doing with slayer?

[Darkmindedsoul]

what kind of  fucking shit is this, but more specially what the fuck is doing in slayer playlist?

[xxtaxidermyxx]

if you think this is emo, you've never heard an emo song in your life.

[numbchucking]

his hair is in his eyes, therefore he must be emo! therefore I can be a judgmental cock that doesnt listen to the music but can dismiss everything about the music because I personally can't see me sucking his cock and that makes me feel removed from the artist.. People who think this way miss the music entirely.

[arridon]

@numbchucking that being said, having listened to the music without judgementally watching the video, i can confirm it does massively suck cock

[MutantForm]

emo hairstyle, nothing at all to do with the band which is heavy metal, not emo

[DrAC130]

@MutantForm heavy metal? lol

[geizos]

esto es una puta m

mierda emos

[pieinaboxproductions]

gay ass shit

[login1995z5]

this shit is fuckin' gay SLAYER THE BAND RULES

SLAYER FOREVER

[mggimcg]

the giant drag version is way better.

[geizos]

musica para idiotas, para maricones , emos de mierda

[Donkwoon]

This is not Slayer. Please remove and then go on emo killing spree. Thank you.

[kapetanmarul]

@Donkwoon no the song is called slayer you fucking idiot

[Donkwoon]

Ya....I can see that. My complaint was because this lame song was on the Slayer play list. I can understand why the mistake was made but it's now time to remove it. Don't get mad at me. I didn't put that gay song on there....

[eatenbrain]

Dude... Grow the fuck up and get over yourself

[c2bed]

The song's name is Slayer, dipshit.

[Donkwoon]

I KNOW! That's my point. The song's name is Slayer but it's a mistake that it was on the Slayer (band) playlist.

[c2bed]

But no one listens to Slayer, so whateve.

[pieinaboxproductions]

r u shitting me

slayer is like the best band evr. one of the original thrash bands

go suck a cock if u think this shit is good

[robotube]

Favorited for Annie 2:01

[speedyluke5]

take this gay shit off the slayer playlist

[Donkwoon]

Yes, I second that motion. Why is this emo crap on here?

[kapetanmarul]

@speedyluke5 take slayer of the face of the earth

[dreamlogicc]

... and this song sounds like the cure with more strung out vocals... i like this, though its such a world away from Mono {!_!}

[sockironer]

holy fuck ,all I ever had was mono when it came out,,what the fucking cunt stubble is this?

[c2bed]

Is that Annie Hardy with the cigarette?

[lasfinisimas]

Nope, she's in the video but never with a cigarette...Annie is the one who steals the glasses

[Fauxpat]

Joe passes Annie a cigarette towards the end.

[GrockJake]

liar. she has a cigarette at the end.

[threeye8finger]

that dude joe's brother lives in my guest room, and they're guitarist james is a pretty good friend but I've never seen th6em live. I guess I sh6ould probably get on that shit.

[c2bed]

Giant Drag still has the most boss version.

[RichardZombie]

I am amazed that they can actually make good music. When I saw them live they just goofed with feedback for an hour with the occasional break to swear at the crowd - defineitly the worst music experience I have ever had, even including going to a jazz club

[leaud33]

Joe Cardamone is a genius

[danielhl22]

where is the acid???????

ooohhh!!!! aaron north is not here anymore :(

[pitch30320]

is that guy Aaron North ???

[CriticsConfession]

Yeah. From NIN. I just heard he founded this band. I miss him in NIN, but he fits perfect with this too!

[manthrot]

Yess!! Awesome song and I loved Annie Hardy's cameo in this video. Thanks danmonick ^_^

[inbredDisco]

fuck the scene!

[semutadatura]

this wouldv been huge int he 90s I HATE ZYOU

[inboilsideath]

i have been a huge fan of the icarus line for years and i like the the new garage-pop sound of this song but this video gets old too fast, from a aesthetic view. it is comparable to bittersweet symphony ,but it could have improved with a bit more variation. -freeman

[dowling1981]

nboil - You may be right or not. Anyway, perhaps some of my poetry might help? From time to time, the tried-in-battle their gray steeds set to gallop amain, and ran a race when the road seemed fair. From time to time, a thane of the king, who had made many vaunts, and was mindful of verses, stored with sagas and songs of old, bound word to word in well-knit rime, welded his lay; this warrior soon of Voltar's quest right cleverly sang, in well-ranged words, of the warlike deeds

[danielhl22]

HURRICANE

[dowling1981]

What do you mean?

[danielhl22]

i mean the penance soiree album where Aaron North plays it was fantastic,very raw and stuff ,now i think they had soften up,they are lacking some fucking Aaron (the whole band was amazing) but that guy used to put some serious salt to the music!!!! i hope i cleared my shit

[dowling1981]

Do you think that your fondness for Aaron North shall ever be challenged?

[danielhl22]

hahahahaahah!!!!! i dont think so he is so good!!!

[dowling1981]

Do you not think that his pinacle may have been topped in the early days?

[7747132]

geanial este vido q viva slayer power metal

[LollL6ngusEST]

Icsrus line is the best

[villesangel69]

cool song!

[SeanyMoore]

this song is brilliant. one of my favourite songs ever

and people saying the Giant Drag version is better - no, it isn't

it's good, but this 'slays' it (lol)

[mortalalien]

I think Giant Drags version is better by far but hey...Joe wrote that version too. So they both 'Slay' eachother

[soyhead]

ahhh the icarus line..brings back great memories. fuck they look and sound so different.

[stevebarone]

Hi Director Dan!

[xxtaxidermyxx]

"thanks for stealing my crap, Annie."

best song of 2007. also, best song of 2005.

[cigarettescenekids]

HAHAH I LOVE THE SHOTS..FIVE STARS

[EuniceXROCKSX]

Annie...The Icarus Line...LA-esque...that in and of itself is a promise of a good video=]

[thenewegypt]

Video is amazing.

[bendinggreenvans]

I love this song! Joe looks really hot!

[sellos]

Duuude this is aaawesome. I love Giant Drag's version but this (preneopostrock or whatever) version sounds incredible. too appealing for reals.

And yeah I was thinking "Annie's got to be on this one".

[alexsweeley]

whats with joe being all deppressed?

[soveryspecial]

good stuff... one of my favorite songs off the album (fshn fvr is badass)

[wojphoto]

great video Dan, looked like a very long shoot. good luck in Italy. I just deirected a video too,for Muja Messiah, but we are still editing.

Very LA.

[WiredLogik]

The Giant Drag version is 1000 times better then this. Just sayin', so check out Giant Drag ya'll!!

[kimberly1425]

Annie <3 !!
