Screaming Headless Torsos (Smile in a Wave)

[wrthdrumer]

Jojo was the shit when he was in this band.... hell he still is!

[denvermarathon]

the head of this song is a direct rip from miles davis' Interlude, from the Agharta.... too bad miles didnt have this percussionist. monster!

[ledzelda9]

damn, pretty unique sounding

[8varium5]

So this is how Zappa would've sounded if he'd tried out latin music... Amazing.

[danielchakraborty30]

unparallelled... no matter how old you get... this is as good as it gets, boy! as good as it gets! even my yuppy cousins liked it...

[ilivetosing]

[6rapha]

CLAN IN DA FRONT

[Jordainio]

Yo video poster, this ones for you. Thank you for this!!!!! And secondly, do you have the album version of this song? The thing that Jojo does at the end where he hits five different cymbals in about 1.5 seconds...anyway its freaking crazy and Im wondering where I can find transcriptions for some of this stuff, especially those drum parts. thanks!

[brokeandhungryxx]

@Jordainio i think that this drummer is gene lake 

[Jordainio]

@brokeandhungryxx Yeah I know, and he kills it too...but I meant about the drummer on the studio version of this song...

[TimHensley28]

@Jordainio The drummer on the studio version is JoJo Mayer

Wow. This was sweet. Thanks, guys...

I thought, at this time, that JoJo Mayer was your drummer?

[mesaman1970]

Fist heard this in 96 or 97. love it. The guys shooting the video have their heads up their asses though, you don't cut back to the rythm section while a solo is being played.

[TimHensley28]

@mesaman1970 Normally I would agree but with that rhythm section I think it's ok ;)

[dieguitoarg123]

pufff...fucking groov

[PaulThe123]

The name of the song is smile IN a wave not AND

[ehs751]

[vBlogmiscarrage]

This Is HIV positive!!!!?!!!

[YourMateJosh]

love the vocals, the teradactyl (spelling?) growl gives a nice comic edge.

[hauntedzebra]

@YourMateJosh pterodactyl, but decent guess

[andreaprodan]

Listened to these guys in '97 in Argentina (where they have a cult following).

Energy!!!

[GEEKNACH0]

Fuck yes, I finally got to see them LIVE this week and it was just mind blowing... it's been my dream since I discovered this band five years ago. The lineup has changed... Freedom Bremner is taking Dean's place since 2005... but still... it's the best active band, in my opinion.

[KicknGuitar]

@GEEKNACH0 WHAT? WHERE? HOW?!!

Man, I had no idea SHT was still playing around! I would have paid the mainstream price of a stadium ticket just to see them, some of the best "NEW" music put out in the past 20yrs. And Fuze... well he's just a beast! Great now I've got to go play this song...

[GEEKNACH0]

@KicknGuitar Well... they came here, to Argentina... played 3 nights, and the last show, the one I went to, was in this tiny sort of pub called Casa Babylon, a really small place, so it was simply amazing.

[elchicho88]

que enfermo que estas negrito

[Letviets]

Oh...my...God! I've just, right this moment, come across this band and am flabbergast! As a lover of Frank Zappa, Afro-beat and jazz...this band is a perfect blend of my favorite music! and so Energetic!!!

[martinmedeski]

bass player is fucking tight!

[Fededrums25]

me encantan! son re locas sus canciones!!

Les pasan el trapo a muchos!! Muy musicales y virtuosos!!

[luzbola00]

genios!

[sherman9009]

1:19

omg the harmony the vocalist hits is epic

[ingenieroagus]

Verde Estan Lokos¡!¡!¡!¡

[arenkk]

Masters, it would be a good word to define them.

[Masterofcommand]

Miles took it from Sly and the Family Stone. Hendrix plays it on 'we got to live together' from band of gypsies. It's from 'Sing a Simple Song' by sly. Learn your history guys

[Bozir]

Miles Davis - "A Tribute to Jack Johnson" , "Right Off"

[SHA88666]

SHT are the fucking bomb....

[almostlost22]

this is insanity.

[zakcattack]

The main riff sounds so familiar, I swear I've heard it before

[TinselAndCrap]

Yes it does, it's been bugging me for the last 10 minutes. But I think it's from a 1985 Miles Davis Album "You're under arrest". Not sure which track though

[zakcattack]

It is Miles, but a line from his song "Right Off" as Bozir was nice enough to point out

[Gnosistic]

sick!!

[airturnip]

Does anyone know what planet these guys are from?

[capnstanky]

Thats what I'm talkin about. Ahead of it.

[straightedge182]

holy shit that was rad as fuck!

[underscoreisnotvalid]

i cant agree with you more

[MyNahuelito]

La rompe estos muchachos!

[figusurf]

joooooooooooodeeerrrrrrr!!! que bueno !!

[captivated78]

gene lake is the man

[plabentos]

outstanding band!

[skatesurfersnowboard]

me cago en su madre!!! this band is sic

[HoustonPublisher]

AMAZINGLY BAD A**

[Mudskippersam]

The bass player is NOT prominant enough in this band...he is amazing!

[wailflower]

AMEN!

[Pinboll7227]

ayhea...!

[tylercjbradshaw]

[chaparrock]

Remo Ambassador Clear.

[magnoliavideos]

DESDE MEXICO CON CANDELA, ESTOS BRODYS ESTAN QUE ARDEN, Y COMO LE RONCAN EL MANGO A LOS CUEROS.

UN SALUDO LES MANDAN LOS MagNolios. SOMOS FANS, JAJAJA.

MáNNU & SChAN DE MagNolia.

Y QUE SIGA LA RUMBA CHEVERE, YA YAS...

[LTJake83]

OMG i saw them in italy some years ago...and it was unbelievable!!! they're addicted to funky rock music in da best and greatest way!

TOP!!!!

[Passenger87]

these guys look stoned out of their tits. Good music :).

[masterpotatoe]

this is not called stone it's called putting your soul into your music to pull out the best performance period

[DruMmMeuR]

Gene Lake on drums live, oh yeah baby... :D

Jojo mayer on drums if you listen to studio version (very impressive)

[WonderfulBakaRanger]

holy shit :o

the starting for the drummer looks hard, just the bass pedal, but the percussionist was just amazing.

[Razorfish]

Well at least you guys fight like you're in a band. aka like women.

[TimHensley28]

What are you talking about? Who's fighting?

[whiskyforthholyghost]

Your a sexist you stupid asshole

[krelbar]

stop with the -ists please....

[wailflower]

What I mean is that is me trying to hear myself between two drummers while the bassist is hidden in a corner--the singer really really needs him--and the overrated guitar player sits on a stool. The singer is clearly being attacked by a hostile percussionist. To be fair, how could I expect you to see that. I didn't even see it and I was up there.

[TimHensley28]

Well I can't argue with your perception of the song, but I think it sounds great. The vocals, the percussion, and the guitar. Even if you think they are all dicks. The SHT disc is one of my most prized possessions. I guess that's why they say you should never meet your idols. It can only lead to disappointment. Most of my favorite bands hate each other so this is not a surprise to me. Shit my band mates don't ever really like each other lol...

[wailflower]

Just be mindful of whom you idolize. Look within. These are words that I sang by the alleged guitar god himself. Yet he was scared to death of making music. I thought this was ok when I heard it. But when I saw it, and saw a guitar player playing for himself, a singer struggling to survive amidst a barrage of cymbals and toys, and (note this) DIDN'T see the bass player (very important), then I realized what I was doing was miraculous!

[TimHensley28]

I agree that what you were doing was miraculous. That is some of the baddest ass singing I've ever heard.

[wailflower]

But it didn't need to be. It should have not been a firing squad for the singer with the bass player out of sight. That's what I don't understand that everyone misses--even me!

[3shiftgtr]

wailflower (Dean)-What you perceive as an artist is experience based. Therefore, YOUR experience as a maker of the music, is different than that of the listener. Obviously you couldn't hear yourself. We've all been there. It's hard to connect when you're struggling to deal with what's going in your ears. But that is NOT what the audience sees or hears. Without reading your posts, I see a vocalist with a bad mix, a killer groove, tune, and performances. NONE of the stuff you experienced.

[wailflower]

What you say, and I appreciate it, does not deal with the simple fact: the percussionist belongs on the guest list, not between the singer and the bass player. Why is he there? To do what he is doing, which is to make the singer's job harder.

[zimmelzumm]

The singer's job isn't harder because of the percussionist. Guest list? Well.. In your band maybe. the percussionist's playing perfectly fits in there if you don't like it, don't listen. It's your problem that you can't withstand it but yours is just an opinion that doesn't have even a bit of objectivity in itself.

[wailflower]

The singer's job is harder because of the pet percussionist. Why not put the percussionist behind the guitar player? Because then he would make the guitar player's job harder.  In all vids he is behind the singer. Ridiculous.

[zimmelzumm]

I don't argue further. You don't even have a clue about music and just keep saying your idiotic fictions. You can't even tell what's the percussionist playing wrong(maybe cuz he's playing without dynamic mistakes), just fooling around like a sad grandma who has nothing else to do. Maybe you should take some lessons before saying such nonsense.

[wailflower]

You are arguing further. And you can't insult me. You are not my equal. LOL

[neo4reals]

no he's not your equal he's apparently superior in musical knowlege

[wailflower]

Thank you for watching.

[wailflower]

I'd love to hear your work one day.

[wailflower]

Does anybody notice how much fucking noise that asshole percussionist is making right next to the singer---(!!!!) and (BTW) How far away he is from the guitar player???

[TimHensley28]

Interesting definition of noise.

[wailflower]

You're not up there.

[TimHensley28]

Neither are you. So what?

[wailflower]

You don't have a clue, fella

[TimHensley28]

Did that guy run off with your wife or something? Cause if he did, I agree with you he is an asshole. Otherwise, I can't really relate to what you're saying at all. Maybe the 200+ gigs I play a year aren't enough to qualify me to speak on such matters. So I guess you're right, I don't have a clue Fella.

[wailflower]

No they (the 200+ gigs) are not. He did nothing to me. Just destroyed good music and a good band because he was listening to guitar groupies instead of making music. You don't have a clue, indeed. Get off your knees, and play your OWN music. Then you WILL have a clue.

[TimHensley28]

I can't wait to know as much as you. Get off my knees and play my own music. What the fuck does that mean? Who's music have I been playin? lol! I think it's cool that you don't like the percussionist. That's your prerogative. I just think it's funny that you expect other people to believe that you know what you're talking about.

[kinghorn3030]

Tim, don't you know that having real world experience with a subject doesn't at all qualify you to comment on it....Being on the internets, however, makes everyone an expert....serious business, my friend..

[TimHensley28]

"You don't have a clue, fella" ROFL!!!

[wailflower]

What I meant by "You don't have a clue" was, "That IS me up there"

[Tilaron]

No, it isn't.

[wailflower]

Hey Guy! Thanks for watching. Are you watching? Did you notice the bass player? No. Because he is behind the percussionist. Got a clue yet?

Why is the percussionist on the gig? To make the singer's work more difficult than necessary of course. The rhythm is established with Gene the drummer. Again thanks for watching.

[dlix13felix]

yep mahavishnu riff

[dankgeetar]

im digging the vocalist the most. hear him harmonize those guitar lines at 1:20? crazy

[guitarmike90]

[spameister]
