Rosetta Stone - Leave Me For Dead

[Repsaj253]

wtf, in almost every comment the term "goth" or "gothic" and i also see a lot "cradle of filth" most of you actually dont know what goth is, and cradle of filth may be called goth but i think it isn't cause like goth music should be calm, not like metal and stuff, like CoF. Things like goth metal etc. dont make any sense.

[CathalinaCFC]

@Repsaj253 Goth music is supposed to be calm?? Sorry, but you find Bauhaus, Virgin Prunes or Christian Death calm??

Cradle Of Filth are not goth band simply because they are metal band. Goth music has nothing to do with metal, that´s it...

[Repsaj253]

@CathalinaCFC I know, calm might be a wrong word for what i mean, it is supposed to ( to my opinion ) not that screaming cradle of filth- like but a calm vocal perhaps? :) aww nevermind, i mean it shouldn't be that metal- like ;)

[AlouquaMortum]

This is real Goth Music!! :D I LOVE, ROSETTA STONE

[GabloFX2]

Why does good Gothic Rock and post punk music always have to mention comments off posers and stuff, just enjoy the music. We all know Cradle of Filth makes a saying for its name,,, its FILTH. Let it be. And enjoy the experimentation in music.

[Spankabuttux]

The term 'gothic' is very old, it can describe novels, arches or tasty pies; In terms of this 'gothic' it is 'Gothic Rock', which began with Bauhaus's 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' in 1979. Any that dispute this form an orderly queue there. No.....there. OK.

[PandemicInfektion]

@Spankabuttux Yes thank you. Someone who finally has a head on their shoulders. 'Goth' has to many definitions for us to call one thing 'Goth'. This is music portrayed by the fashion style Goth and is called 'Gothic Rock' not 'Goth music'...>.>

[kwxxy]

I'm just going to say, that this is an awesome song. Can we at least agree on that? We can? Okay good :)

[rms206107]

Cradle Filth is my cock,Goth Rock Rules,the rest is teen trend,who does not know the goth subculture and its music

[ThornUvDaath777]

5 people were left for dead.

[Aetius76]

I hear this and I need a clove cigarette and a German woman to kiss.  Such were the days................

[redpiIl]

Newfags, stop blaming yourself and this music by flaming other bands. Got a small wiener?

[ZoranaDeLioncourt]

The term "gothic" also described the earlier vampire tales, such as "Dracula". It might have something to do with naming this musical genre, since the atmosphere and lyrics sometimes remind of these old tales of the undead.

[XxShatteredx]

@Mumzzen GothIC is architecture from the 16th, 17th and early 18th century. Cradle Of Filth is not Goth, but its Symphonic Metal.

Goth, is a subculture and a music genre. Although the music genre isn't as popular as todays new music. Original Gothic bands are Rosetta Stone, The Cure, Bauhaus, etc.

[Mumzzen]

Good lord! This video was made a year before I was even born! O.o

[XxShatteredx]

@Mumzzen Gothic Architecture is completely different from the Gothic Subculture. Just Elaborating on what Jacob said :P

[Mumzzen]

@XxShatteredx And who is jacob? I don't know who Jacob is..anyway answer this: would you say that GothIC (with the ending) is more like cradle of filth, beauty in the horrific, the litterature, the art back in the 16th-17th century and the architecture back in those days, while Goth (with no ending) is the subculture and the music genre...?

[GKazooProduction]

@Mumzzen Lol Jacob is we me XD (she knows me which is how she knows my name). But yeah I didnt read the whole thing I just noticed that comment and replied to the best of my knowledge :P

[doktorgriff]

MMM categorising and bed spelling, so if that's what Goth is about, don't think I'll bother.

[shellbot1467]

God I miss these :) many happy memories of seeing them live...QUARRIERS!!!!

[Mumzzen]

I love this song! For real! I'm IN LOVE with this song <3

[emyspawn44]

[MrBomitoni]

[XxShatteredx]

I love Rosetta Stone! Real Gothic <3

[vxtip556]

i wish Porl King didnt regret Rosetta Stone, i think its the epitome of where goth could go and still remain the genre of goth-rock, i like children on stun too, other than that im way too into the 80's stuff :p

[tool619]

most goths in the 90s and even in the 80s were listening to synth pop, this genre was very unpopular then and now. But Rosetta Stone's music is awesome and i like it very much

[gothicandmetalamvs66]

one of the best 90's goth rock bands of that decade..too bad there aren't that many good ones these days

[LittleBitTragedy]

I can't describe how much I adore this song <3 I wanna go to a goth party right now and dance to this!!

[gacthecat]

haw can someone hate this song = D

[darksanctuary6]

love...rosetta stone,gothica,ashram,nebelhexe­,nina hagen,lene lovich, opera IX, cadaveria, Diva Destruction,STOA,Siebenburgen,­Autumn Tears,The Crüxshadows, SOPOR AETERNUS,Siouxsie & the Banshees,The Sisters of Mercy,XIII. století, Magicka,Switchblade Symphony,two witches,Lord Vampyr, Rozz Williams ,All my faith lost,ELEGION,TDV,TOT(BEFOR THIS SHIT THEY MADE)...DARK SANCTUARY..those are the bands,..i like...love them all.....

[BlackSkyThunder]

A man shouting without any sense and any rhythm is the opposite of Goth; Rosetta Stone is harmony and creates a personal atmosphere through their songs, in reality, I am not in favor of putting labels to music, I am in favor of songs that can take you to other places and to hear while you are in a mystical landscape for instance. I have not heard too much Cradle of Filth but what I heard does not tell me anything, I prefer My Dying Bride (just in case)

[GothicGodlessLiberal]

Tristania is goth metal. Draconian & My Dying Bride are gothic/doom metal.

[Vampirebear13]

I can't find your response to my comment about not liking Cradle of Filth but liking Night Wish,but,I must say that the Nightwish I'm talking about is a more symphonic-progressive band. I know there's @ leaST 3 BANDS who use that name.

[JohannesGrim]

You can also check out miserylab on Facebook. Free preview of one of his new songs went up today!

[oramikleepunk]

I miss that old underground gothrock music.

[666deathghost]

Why is people having conversations about NightWish?

[666deathghost]

@666deathghost Cause they Think gothicmetal is generally from the Gothic subgenre and culture but unfurtunatly it is not

[Karotacus]

"How could you leave me for dead!?"

[ExAngel]

I Fking love this song

[grindingyourfaceoff]

One of the bands who inspired me to try and bring back the old school sounding goth rock/post-punk sound!

[Evenstar67]

These were the good goth bands..shame they aren't here no more...

[OpheliaBlackman]

Oh, but there are many bands that still play old styled Gothic Rock and Post-Punk (L)

[randomeddiemusic]

Oh how this reminds me of 1993 and a girl called Alis...

[chronogenesis]

I started of with marilyn manson and the rest when I was a teen but now 25 now. my Gothic taste have evolved alot. I love this kind of goth rock now.

[zombiefaith]

But MM isnt goth

[noseeye1]

i love this song, i love it live, its just really fucking good really.

[noseeye1]

fuckin A!

[Sayukae]

Nightwish has never posed to be Goth...

Goth Rock forever, but I wouldn't call Nightwish a poser if the aren't calling themselves Goths at all.

[SangaPeach]

I don't think she means that they are posing to be goth as much as the common conception of other people thing they're goth. Which I too have personally seen countless times...

[Sayukae]

Yes, I was hoping that was what was meant. Because, that's certainly true, there is the common notion that they are a Goth band. :D

[zenajdaa]

its truth many people think they are Gothic not just for them they think that for many many symphonic and power metal bends.. it's shame

[MadcapMan]

Nightwish are more like power metal with operatic vocals

[Sayukae]

Yes, that or symphonic metal since they do incorporate symphonic instruments as well.

[gothiciris]

I couldn't agree more dear!

cheers

[HeyiknowThatDude]

I love the Guitar riff to this song :D

[Razorwitch]

was about to say the same =)

[gacthecat]

He's really hansom and his music is amazing. It has a sound that never will get old or you can never forget.

[Tinywhiney666]

Correction: Ibeus!

[Tinywhiney666]

I enjoy this song alot! very nice! I love Rosetta Stone! Thanks to my love Ibues!!!

[IbeusLaCroix]

I know the lyrics are "shame me" but it sounds like he is saying "Jamie" as in a woman who "left [him] for dead". I was once in a rather negative relationship with a woman named Jamie.

[TheMoonCrow]

You're absolutely right evenstar67...and it's a good song/good example for "real" goth rock

[Shraczka]

I'm in love!

Great song... the real gothrock.

[triumphelf]

Check out ,,darkspace-3.14

[DamnedYouFakers]

you guys should check out solemn novena theyre pretty much the goth rock saviours to anyone who is complaining they want to relive the 80's

[JimJimJimNL]

fuck this hiphop crap!

[OpheliaBlackman]

Yeah, this is SUPER hip-hop *That was sarcasm if you're too silly to realise by yourself*

[LittleBitTragedy]

I love this song!!

[rothbhoy]

They remind me of The Mission to be honest. I have time for both Gothic Rock, Heavy Metal and Gothic Metal (lots of great bands from Norway in this genre). Cradle Of Filth (Extreme Gothic Metal) - great band! Rothbhoy (Northern England - spiritual home of Goth!).

[Sayukae]

Yay! I'm not the only one! :D

[gothiciris]

god I miss the good old goth rock stuff!

thanx for uploading!

[jakoblangley]

Oh well first time I listen this song/band, I find it by mistake looking for mephisto waltz songs and well it is really really cool, time to add another good "old" band to my library. Thanks for share this video.

[ConservedGoth]

how can some call this metal?..

metal sucks..

this is pure love.!

[Heretus]

how can someone call this metal ? a variety of reasons :

1) he is below 20 : thus i doubt that he even know what Gothic , darkwave, death/gothic rock is

2)ignorance: no real knowledge on music so if its "dark" and has an electric guitar its metal

3)stupidity : do i even need to explain this one ?

[Darhkiel]

Agree with Heretus!

Some people think there metal anywhere ^_^'

[CathalinaCFC]

@Heretus I know this comment is way too old, but I have to say this: Why somebody below 20 should not know what goth is? I´m 16. I listen to goth rock, postpunk and deathrock (I also used to listen to metal, but that does not mean I do not know the difference). Apart from being pissed off with the poseurs saiyng about metal bands they´re goth, I´m also really dissapointed by fact many people are saying that every teen is poseur just because one was not fortunate enough to be born 30 years ago.

[Spankabuttux]

@CathalinaCFC That is a legitimate complaint, a lot of people label the kids who dress in a modern way as 'hipsters' too, no, it is only the older ones who are 'hipsters', the younger ones are following a new style.

[semyaza666]

I'm an old school goth from back in the 1980's and I can assuredly say that many of us were influenced by some metal and proto-metal, such as Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper. Rozz Williams was a big Cooper and Sabbath fan himself. While much modern metal does indeed suck, I can find *some* metal worthy of listening to, such as My Dying Bride. Of course, it will never displace my love for Christian Death & The Cure.

[Evenstar67]

This is not metal, but the real Goth! not like the stupid house or whatever scene..

listen to the Fields of the Nephilim and then you know what i mean

[owlbuo]

@Evenstar67 fields of nephilim is a awesome band man pure qualidy who needs cradle of crap or death metal havin this or the new dark wave its so boring and electronic

[gacthecat]

@Evenstar67 I take it you don't like cyber it's not so bad =D

[BlackSkyThunder]

@Evenstar67 Goth or not goth, what a useless argue! This is good music; it's dark music, music with deep lyrics and it can take you to another world while you are listening; the world is mainly dark, sometimes beautiful (landscapes,love) but it could be extremely dark (,diseases, humans), this is not goth, this music is made for the world we live; who cares about labels! I only care about music that tells me something

[Evenstar67]

@BlackSkyThunder I'm not argueing, I'm making a statement wich is mine, and mine alone. So call it goth, call it dark music.. I don't care about labels and people who think they know it all..so feel free to say this is not goth, I don't care.

[BetoToxic12]

Rosetta stone has nothing to do with metal they remind me more of the cure =] more old skool =D

[kruxy]

I was reffering to somones comment talking about " cradle of filth"

I think...

or i was just drunk when i left that comment :P

[avoidpain]

Rosetta Stone bets song ever :'(

[lyzred]

que pedazo de cancion

[robintheknight]

He says "shame me" ;)

[villesangel69]

cool song!

[Mozzart92]

Dobar spot!!!

[jaimesf1]

cool

[Enterthedeath]

hum I reasonly came by Rosetta Stone hes good and i like the musici think it really started the gothic rock music scene of today.

[ana0banana]

you have no idea of what you're talking about, do you?

[Enterthedeath]

not a clue >.>

I think I ment from a modren musical prospective...pop goth metal

[ana0banana]

HAHAHA pop goth metal.

that could be a new trend, yeah.

but I think it's quite impossible... but we'll see xD

[Enterthedeath]

Cradle of filth(populair sellouts/ vampireic/gothic/metal) Leaves eyes folky popish goth metal.

OH the biggest would be Lucuna Coil or Nightwish quite impossible indeed!....

[aholeinthewall]

rosetta stone are goth rock....that is true.

cradle of filth are symphonic black metal. leaves eyes are symphonic metal. lacuna coil are symphonic metal, and nightwish are symphonic metal. people quite often mistake symphonic metal for being a mix of goth and metal..when it's not goth at all.

[Enterthedeath]

Well sympholic metal seems to be a mixter of goth rock and folk metal. If you listen to leaves eyes you can still hear the roots that havent really brached out in some songs. However I believe its to much of a different type of music.

[ana0banana]

I couldn't agree more!

[m1ndNOVA]

How do we keep running into each other?

[ana0banana]

was that directed to me? sorry, got lost.

[666deathghost]

@aholeinthewall Cradle of Filth is Extreme Gothic Metal/Extreme Metal. But still its Metal not Goth see people misunderstand when the tern Gothic is in front of a genre doesn't mean from the goth scene or from the Gothic subculture. The word or Term Gothic have different meanings

[Vampirebear13]

@666deathghost I love Rosetta Stone,Sisters of Mercy(saw them live last year)Mission UK+Nightwish,but,stuff like Cradle of Filth is garbage.

Now back to the shadows.

[666deathghost]

@Vampirebear13 ow could u hate Cradle of Filth and lie Night Wish? Well what ever.

[Mumzzen]

@666deathghost What is the difference? I thought the term "Gothic" meant for example the arcitecture of the churches in the 17th century. 

[GKazooProduction]

@Mumzzen errr... no... goth when used to describe architecture is completely different from the music genre/subculture. They just have the same name is all lol

[Mumzzen]

@GKazooProduction That's what I said..that they were different..but that's the reason why I thought the term gothIC" was more to describe dark litterature and architecture while just the the tem "Goth" (with no ending) were used to describe the music genre and the subculture. That's what I have heard.

[Mumzzen]

@Mumzzen I was just unsure if you could use the term "Goth" and meaning both things, or use the term "Gothic" and mening both things. And that's why my question is: Isn't Cradle of Filth more Gothic than Goth? If there is a huge difference. I don't lthat gothIC is like the subculture or like goth music, but, gothic like the churches,the litterature, the beauty in the horrific, and death and etc.

[Socialantithesis]

Very true.

[kruxy]

vampireic?

are you nuts ?

lol wow

theyre blackmetal with some gothic influence

theyre awesome!

dani is just a retard tho claiming to be a vampire lol

all that lsd probably made him think that

[Enterthedeath]

Black metal v.v Wow My prospective has changed alot within five months....

[thorirlp]

Rosetta Stone is NOT black metal

Just Gothic Rock

[xDakkx]

they are def not black metal.

[NYCPulpHero]

METAL?! You fucking retard.. And whoever said they were vampiric, fuck you too. These S&M and vampire faggots ruined a great goth scene in NYC

[widugeist]

I agree with you that this is not metal but I do not have anything against S&M or vampiric expressionalism which in my opinion is beautiful. Byronic expression and gothic literature has always been a part of the Goth movement, I don't see why you would disparage S&M and vampiric expressionalism which is very much a part of the spirit (in some cases the letter) of the Gothic movement. Also, an aristocratic decorum is essential to gothic expression which is something you are not expressing.

[Kieraganion]

Vampirism is only but a PERCENTAGE of what you call the "Gothic movement". And most definitely does not make up the entirety of it. And while it's understandable that some S&M influenced fashion made it's way into the culture (thank you Sue), S&M by far and large has VERY little to do the music itself, what is what the so called movement was all about.

[xDakkx]

Keep in mind that the movement goes far beyond music, but into every aspect of ones life, however its a kind of take and leave thing, some are just in it for the fashion. but some of us... a dwindling number.... are in it for life.... ( :

[IbeusLaCroix]

Agreed. The vampire subculture is completely separate movement. Yes, it spawned from goth but it is now its own entity. BDSM is a completely different lifestyle, as well. But, many people are drawn to all three subcultures, hence why outsiders oftentimes lump them all together.

[twilightsol]

@Kieraganion I've been a member of the scene for 20 years.I have never once met anyone who actually drank blood.

[666deathghost]

@twilightsol Blame the shit u see on T.V. They make goths look like ppl in some sort of cult

[eddieskyclad]

Without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest songs of all time...

[Wyrehedd242]

wow... when death rock was still sexy....

[VelvetSun]

Yay, another Rosetta STone video!!!

I wish VH1 CLassic would show these :(

Thanx so much!
