Tera Melos - Purple and Stripes

[rhombusskullvsteal]

Long live Tera Melos. I hope they come toupstate new York soon because I'm a devotee.

[AnalPotatoe]

there is too much something

[MrSkate4weed]

does changing to 720p really do anything?

[QueLub]

@MrSkate4weed The sound quality can improve depending on how the video was formatted. Most times you will get a bump in audio quality.

[RcKoZ159]

0:28-0:31 -----------> one of the many favorite bits in the song.

[A2Z83]

Dont know about Buckethead but I've heard tera melos perform live raw and without the effects thing and the guitarists playing sounded the same just without the little effects. It actually sounded way better like that to me without all the different sounds distracting.

[Manicz]

I found this easy to masturbate to.

[HugoFTorres]

Holy shit this is fantastic :O

[constellationcancer]

okay guys pretend god is your dad and give him a hug

[Trainwhrek]

dont like most of their newer stuff but this song is awsome :))

[searchformulder]

girls dont get this music. not that they are stupid just th ey dont like it. is there ANY girl listening to this right now??? twelve thousand dudes.

[erinlikestoPARTY]

@searchformulder I'm a girl and I like Tera Melos. I don't see what's to "get" about their music haha.

[searchformulder]

@erinlikestoPARTY i think theres a lot to get really! BUT you ended dark days. there is a girl who likes tera melos. my diary will cry.

[erinlikestoPARTY]

@searchformulder Glad to hear that! And you're right. Much to get.

[Nathalia0fr]

@searchformulder Stupid generalization

[searchformulder]

@Nathalia0fr stupid planet stupid life.

[charizardoystersauce]

yay purple apples! my grandpa loves those, but he dont have teeth no more, neither does his girlfriend, Koko, she shaved her head, shes from Thailand, she feeds me rat soup, no one wants to buy my journals, so i guess just call me later, so we can wear masks and take pictures, i miss you

[TastyTexasToast]

I can't stop listening to this. 'Tis off-the-chain...

[eokmfcvefiom]

this song reminds me of 40 rods

[alexander9213]

that intro is some simpsons sounding type shit

[glitterkittens]

this songs actually called purple and stripes? i remember someone video taped this song live a while back and i thought it was called purple and stripes cause nick was wearing a purple striped shirt.

[jiniton]

i would like to make a movie about my life with this as the original soundtrack. and masturbate to it.

[Jolfawnzo1]

@jiniton

been there done that

[Huuumanuuure]

the part from 3:53 on... geezus, man. makes me feel so so gooood....

[seigneurvoland666]

dont dig the singing!!

[duendeguitar]

I showed this to my friend the other day and after having his jaw open for most of the song, he told me: "People need to hear this."

[MalcolmOiOi]

You guys all sound like you have boy crushes on tera melos

[itstrickett09]

@MalcolmOiOi we probably do...

[leftovervictim23]

@MalcolmOiOi but we do.

[melongabg]

@MalcolmOiOi it's the boy crush on tera melos that makes you a man

[IronDrummer123]

@melongabg and its the man crush that makes you RIGHTEOUS

[blasphomy]

@MalcolmOiOi i do

[ninjafrank1337]

@MalcolmOiOi we do

[MetalxFacexDoom]

@MalcolmOiOi I'm not afraid to admit that I do.

[goeatsomelunch]

@MalcolmOiOi I would let nick reinhart shit on my chest.

[PurpleandStripes]

@MalcolmOiOi We all do have boy crushes on them and for good reason. Do you hear this shit?!

[SamuelLJacksonsFish]

@MalcolmOiOi nah man, mine's a full blown man-crush.

[GodsendXConspirator]

Is there any brave soul who would attempt to tab this out?

[Bumchampion420]

@GodsendXConspirator hahahaha, noone could possibly tab any tera melos song unless it was jeff himself.

[cutselfnotable1]

@Bumchampion420 jeff hasn't been in the band for a couple years now man. 

[MsKenzaroo]

@cutselfnotable1 i actually meant nick but i was drunk when i posted that shit.

[cutselfnotable1]

@GodsendXConspirator Look for the program Transcribe on bittorrent or something. You can slow down the song and cut the vocals out. I know this can also be done with something simple like audacity, but this is way easier to use. Check it out!

[GodsendXConspirator]

@cutselfnotable1 Too bad I'm pretty useless at tabbing out in the first place :( All that tapping at the beginning isn't gonna help. Might try it out though. Haha I'd actually pay money to see this tabbed, such a kick-ass song.

[cutselfnotable1]

@GodsendXConspirator Once you get the hang of it, you'll get better. Just slow the song down to 25% and select one phrase at a time in the song. it takes time, but you get better at it each time... and it will open you to learning music that other people don't take the time to tab out!

[cutselfnotable1]

@GodsendXConspirator now ask me to transcribe anything from drugs or complex and i'll giggle a little

[GodsendXConspirator]

@cutselfnotable1 Haha :P Just spent the past hour ans a half or so on it.... managed to get the first 2 minutes of it tabbed out. Don't think I got it all right though

[scaroni39]

@GodsendXConspirator haha

[PurpleandStripes]

@GodsendXConspirator My friend learned it by ear, as that bastard does all of their shit. Next time I see him I'm going to try to get him to attempt a tab for me and I will post it on here or somewhere. I'm pretty sure most of it is tapping though so it'll be hard to tab

[GodsendXConspirator]

@PurpleandStripes Please do!! I've tabbed out a few Tera Melos songs myself (sky watch, trident tail etc.) but now this one. I would love to see it if he has.

[PurpleandStripes]

@GodsendXConspirator He knows the whole thing, or most of it.. The only part I picked up was the intro and it goes like so: tap 2A and then 4D and then tap 9D then its 9B, do like a tap and pull off for the last note, he plays that a few times and then plays the same thing except with 13D and 13B. Will you send me any and all tera melos tabs you have :D ?They're one of my favorite bands if not my favorite. Next time I see him I'm going to try and learn alot of it and will send what I learn!

[redshirtyear]

@GodsendXConspirator Yesss love your name. SSTB all the way :)

[robzombie676]

@GodsendXConspirator

i am halfe way through :D

[Jolfawnzo1]

@GodsendXConspirator

i have the sheet music on my floor somewhere lol

[rugbynugget95]

@Jolfawnzo1 same :D

[saucytool]

@GodsendXConspirator And drum sheet music please!

[warlocksarewatching]

@GodsendXConspirator The lead guitarist has one of those special guitars that Buckethead has where you don't need to strum the strings and you just need to strum a pad and there's buttons so you can mix the sounds of the instrument. I'm sure that makes this song somewhat easier for him and it explains the crazy choppiness.

[bonanzoid0deathgrip]

@warlocksarewatching

lol wut? No he doesn't.

[warlocksarewatching]

@bonanzoid0deathgrip I just saw them live last weekend--he does

[bonanzoid0deathgrip]

@warlocksarewatching

Find me a single live video on YouTube where he's using one of those guitars and I'll believe you. Otherwise I remain adamant that I am correct, having watched way too many of their videos on here and having also seen them live fairly recently.

[warlocksarewatching]

@bonanzoid0deathgrip Fine dude, calm down. That's definitely what I saw it was hooked up to a computer and stuff. It sounds to me like you feel very strong about this, I'm not saying he wasn't actually playing the guitar it was just a special kind.

[waffles032]

@warlocksarewatching I've seen them live and I can tell you that's wrong. He uses a plain old Fender Telecaster. You can buy them in any major music store. He has a pedal-board with a few dozen effects pedals, which get used for sounds, but don't make his playing 'easier' in any way.

[warlocksarewatching]

@waffles032 I have two and very recently, yeah he definitely had that guitar but he also was looping some of his riffs--I'm not saying they're fake or anything I'm just saying some of the stuff I heard was pretty amazing because he was playing two riffs at the same time and stuff.

[waffles032]

@warlocksarewatching Yeah, because the music is meant to be played by a four-piece band But you're accusing him of using 'computers' and a fake guitar to do all of his really crazy stuff, which is just plain false. If he's tapping, that's what you're hearing. Just watch his hands.

[warlocksarewatching]

@waffles032 I didn't accuse anybody of fake anything, most of the guitar riffs were highly synthesized and were not fake by any means the reason I like tera melos is that this shit seems so impossible lol

[MikesAmazing]

@warlocksarewatching trust me its not impossible to play.

[Steviejet22]

My understanding of the lyrics so far.

Shave the heads from elephants. Sixty perfect manifest. OOooOOOooOOaa. School was out before summer. The explanations in the mail. and were not afraid of the freaks. You were soo beautiful would you have hair? Yea!!
