porcupine tree - hatesong live + boyband rant

[lesbonees]

I can never get enough. This version is very impressive. Single guitarist. Very smooth.

1 person likes boy bands!!!

[freitasnetuno]

The only man who can wear a shirt showing the navel and still be awesome!

[vilewills]

maitland looks so cool in this :-D

[gegege38]

The infection keep spreading...

[splendiferosity]

I like Steven's teeny tiny shirt :> lol

[MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity THANK YOU!me too...I adore it.It shows attitude!!!!Everyone is commenting negatively about it...I thought it was just me that ADORES this look.xD

[splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria Oh no. I love this. The more I can see of him, the better. Plus it's pretty hilarious, too. I think it's just so him to wear a tiny little shirt, and take a shot at "popular culture". I just love him.

[MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity ehehe...Indeed!I adore anything he does,anyway,since 1993-1994 that I came across PT :D Kind of feel grateful too!!

[splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria Lucky to find them so early. It took me some time, since I live in a musically bankrupt home and town. I was like 16 or so? I'm 21 now. This band opened me up to so many other amazing artists. I'm incredibly grateful to have heard them and seen them live.

[MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity I was lucky indeed.I grew up,spending time mainly with my uncle and with people older than me :) I was 9-10 back then,I am 27(meeh)today xD....As for their performance live.aaaaaah...saw them like 3 times till now,and can't wait for the next time!!

[splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria I know! Every time is like my first concert. I saw Steven in November for his Grace for Drowning tour and I was blown away!!! I cannot wait to see him or PT again.

Also, I don't know if you saw but GfD just won Album of the Year by Popmatters and second best album of the year in Classic Prog Rock magazine. :)

[MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity Yeaaaaaah!!!!!!I saw it some min.ago on fb!!!!Amazing,amazing work,as everything he does!!!My genious :D

[splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria It is! It's weird to feel proud for a musician, but I think he deserves it. I can hardly help myself. I think he's brilliant. I'd love to meet him.

[MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity It might sound silly,but this man saved me on the worse periods of my life...So to me it's normal to feel proud for his existance :D

I am wearing his guitar pick,the one he gave me after playing the encore ,last September as a cross,around my neck.xD Silly person,yeah...but I have my reasons.LOL

[splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria No, that's totally understandable. I have a similar feeling towards him. I feel like he writes music that hear and feel inside of my head. It's weird. It's like he can put into words things I can't. At the risk of sounding like I'm 14, it feels like he's writing what I would. PT and Steven's work just syncs up with my life in a way few other musicians do.

Also, I envy your guitar pick. It's a dream of mine to meet this man. I'm totally in love. It's pretty lame.

[MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity It's not lame...Well,I didn't actually meet him...I just aproached the stage,wanting to shake his hand,and say "thank you" or sth similar,and he gave me the pick!!!ehehe...Anyway,I totally get your point and I agree...and I also think that I sound like a 14 year old,but who cares???xD Check your inbox...I am afraid that people here will get upset with us...don't want my comments to be concidered as spam.ehehe

[edgroove7]

What Steve says is totally spot on.Boy and Girl bands are NOT fucking bands at all,most of them can't play a single fucking note or write one original lick!All puppets like American Idol,Canadian Idol(worst of the fucking lot) and Britain's Pop Idol! Fuck Simon fucking Cowell and his greed and exploitation!

[gogolplex74]

lo, Steven looks like ozzy osbourne with those glasses

[BrownBaron95]

I love this because I feel the exact same way he does.

Steven Wilson is one of my favorite musicians and Porcupine Tree is my favorite band of all time.

But what kind of glasses is Steven wearing here?

[ScorpionWing16]

Steven Wilson is the greatest creature God has evolved.

[Fleshy91]

Colin always looks baked off his ass when he plays live shows!

[perperov]

I LOVE Steven's way of dressing here. I'm still laughing :) Great track and great opinions though!

[mikethedrumaniac]

Who's the drummer in this?

[HenrikRecurring]

@mikethedrumaniac Thats Chris Maitland. He was in the band from ´93 to ´02

[PuReNiRvANA1]

@HenrikRecurring Do you or anybody else know why he is not with the band anymore?

[TX3Proggy]

@mikethedrumaniac

His name's Chris Maitland, the first and the only one , for me, drummer of PT

[dofty]

Fantastisk!

[HousleyMike]

Absolutely fantastic audio. Some of the best live recording of PT out there, including their official stuff.

[spiral2012]

Strat!

[luckyluke193]

that rant was just epic. :D

the song was epic as well of course, even though i prefer the version off arriving somewhere, mostly because of gavin harrison

[Str8Faced]

Maitland sounds really good. I'd honestly never listened to anything earlier than gavin so this was new to me. He doesn't play fills and double kick like gavin but he's solid and he's def got skills. Some of the vocal effect is pretty obnoxious. Oh well. Long live PT

[63swbfj45]

Well.....nice boy-band shirt...

[Metallophilic]

pop-culture got pwnneddddd

PT >>>>>>>> boy/girlbands

(rofl croptop...)

[basino89]

Only the genius of his music counterbalances this disaster of a belly shirt ensemble.

[splendiferosity]

@basino89 Disaster? I think you mean delicious.

[14rush14]

which cockhead disliked this video? o wait, it was probably justin bieber himself!

steven wilson RULES. along with PT obviously......

[XxSharkBatexX]

PT is my antidote!

[romangeorg]

ohhhh so great!!!!!!!!

[jaaphoofd]

wtf is he wearing? xD

anyway love this guy (and his music)

[TheRedGenesis]

damn, hit the dislike button. Sorry for that :/

[PuReNiRvANA1]

epic video i wish that steven would interact with the cowd more like mike from opeth!

[cardinalis]

I love Steven so much I almost can't stand it.

[ScratchingMellotron]

My favorite band!! Amazin lyrics, filosofy and music!!

I hope some day come to my country, I'm from Argentina!!

[fabioadias]

Gavin Harrison was probably the best thing that ever happened to PT.

[willregnier]

@fabioadias Maitland has a nice style but Gav isn't in the same league! He's the best drummer in the world. His drumming is just mind blowing and he has a great sense of musicality!

[TheBlackycat]

Thank you so much for posting this. I was at this show and it was a great performance. I knew there was more video out there besides the "Shesmovedon" that has been posted for quite some time. As for the "poor audience reaction" comment, they got a great audience reaction which is why the band did 3 encores.  It just doesn't come through well on this video.

[HenrikRecurring]

@TheBlackycat thanx=) Ive got more from this show, Ill try to upload them. Just have to figure out how my new mac works =P

[MelodyBarrett1]

@HenrikRecurring Thank you for this video. We saw Porcupine Tree for the first time this year in San Francisco, Calif. We were standing at the stage and it was beyond perfect. I like Stevens little short shirt here, he pulls it off well. Thanks again, Melody Barrett

[PuReNiRvANA1]

@TheBlackycat he have you downloaded any new p.t. recently?

[TheBlackycat]

@PuReNiRvANA1 I wasn't the one who downloaded this. Would live to see more of this show since it was the first time i saw them.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Poor audience reaction. One of the best performances they've done.

[ZeNico34]

@BruisedEyeSockets What would you do if you see your god right in front of you? I don't think that you would jump everywhere. I'd personally stand and listen.

[BruisedEyeSockets]

@ZeNico34 Totally, just for prog fans at the turn of the century.. It's pretty mellow.

[000Angelo0001]

Gavin is out of this world, but Chris is an amazing drummer... Being a prog fan and musician as well, for me Gavin is a hybrid between Danny Carey, Joe Morello and MIke Portnoy hahahaha

What else can u ask for?

But... I also love simplicity and feeling, and Chris is such a master. He's not the odd drummer, but he fits in PT very very well (as we all know xD)

[Oenols]

While Gavin is a much better drummer, somehow I feel that Chris probably worked better together with Colin. They seem to have a certain dynamic, as displayed on Metanoia.

[herbalh]

THANK YOU! But could someone please upload the whole show? I only have the bootleg and would love to see the whole performance :) Shesmovedon is just marvellous

[ripley228]

Thanx for adding! I enjoyed it a lot and had not seen this before - love this track!

[sirunderspoon]

Thanks so much for uploading this, if you have any more of this concert PLEASE POST!!!

[elnegronestor]

I think his T-shirt just shrunk

[rachmaninov46]

@elnegronestor probably through his tshirt he's giving another rant to gay boybands and girly sluts!

[moltten]

Agreed. I just love what he said. Lol PT is just soooo amazing in every way! And they're only getting better and better. I live Maitland, but Gavin Harrison is just off the charts.

[nicksword87]

Now he has Pop idol to battle against instead of boy bands. Do not understand what Steven is wearing. but even so, i suppose he can do what he wants being one of the greatest people ever!

[IAmMonsterDog]

@nicksword87 Now there's this new breed of disease called dubstep. It's affected millions of mindless shitheads and is spreading like wildfire. The only known cure so far is daily doses of real music.

[snowboardingfreak94]

@IAmMonsterDog dubstep is fucking awesome, wtf are you talking about

[IAmMonsterDog]

@snowboardingfreak94 I'm talking about that shit that people call 'dubstep'. It's awful and doesn't even deserve to be called music.
