@onfire4000 you made me google it cuz i was curious too "basically we wanted to give the band a person's name without necessarily giving it one of our names. It started with the bass player Zakk & I, & we knew we were going to play together from then on, so a country was just the best way of going about representing a group of people & "The Man" just stated it was a person & not just a country."
@labelle907 ahah I'm glad I did and thank you, I was really curious specially cause Im from Portugal and I thought at first that could be some connection with the country, but now I know it was kinda random lol
not far from perfect...it's like a 99.9999%...it's your fifth grade teacher not allowing perfection in her classroom...idk what it is about the video...all i know is that it's great.
@TheDivineAberration hey man i grew up there. great country. worlds leading exporter of cork. crashing economically though... but still love that country and this band. and a lot of people just call the band portugal too...
@meatwadXcore Grew up there too, spent 10 years (most of my time as a teenager) there. I moved to America 2 months after I posted that comment, and after spending 7 months away from Portugal I miss it so much. The lifestyle there is just so different in comparison. Where abouts did you live in Portugal?
I really liked your video and your channel. If you need any help getting this video or channel exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position. God Bless!
I've seen them twice, and try to see them whenever they come around. They are, by far, the greatest band i have seen live. So innovative with their live shows. And the fact that they play some of the best music in this generation doesn't hurt either (totally my opinion).
I couldn't agree more. The only time I've missed a show in the last two years was a sell out with Freezepop a month or so ago. Didn't think I'd have to buy tickets in advance for that one.
i hung out with this girl thats all in to punk and that type of shit, i showed her protugal and she pretty much said they were crap, i told her she doesnt understand portugal and its proly because shes not a musician, and musicans interpert music at a different level idk
Being a musician takes you to a kind of higher level when you listen to music. but you also got to be smart to intercept songs. you following me? Like the way how I listen to music. I listen to the details. Like eggs on the background. And I wonder why does a band sound like that. Poeple who think about music appreciate more music. Than poeple who think that they love music, no they love the buzz and the fuzz around it they try to impress by listening to it.
thats fuck n true, being a musican myself i listen to the little things that make a simple riff into something great, i tried telling some bitchy ass girl the same shit you wrote but she didnt believe me, so fuck her and other nonmusicians who think they fully understand music
don't say fuck non musicians you see, sometimes understanding music or inrepretating music in a different takes away the magic. Every person is different. When you have this special feeling with music ( hearing other stuff) see that feeling as a gift. Not as a reason to fuck someone hehe.
You don't have to understand the intricacies of music production to appreciate a song; just like you don't have to understand the intricacies of the human auditory system to appreciate what you are hearing.
I am not a musician; I love music, and not because of the buzz and fuzz around it. I love music because of the way a good song makes me feel, makes me think, and tells me a story I didn't create.
I most definitely do not listen to music to impress those around me.
I use music to take me to different moments in life. Like when i was 14 years old I used to listen to blink 182 n such. So when I listen to B182 I allways think about how those times used to be, who I was. In my world music doesn't come and go it sticks with.
yeah your right i shouldnt say fuck non musicians i am sorry everyone, please forgive me youtube lol but i ve found alot of good music from non musicians
One of those bands you never want to get big so that you have a secret band to listen to, but want them to be known and bring good music to the world.
where do u get the audacity and the balls to insult someone because of their opinion on a video. spelling mistakes on the internet are so common now that honestly to mispell a word on the internet is nothing. Im not giving an excuse to those who might misspell,but accidentally hitting the wrong key and not noticing it does not make that person illiterate. the fact that his name is viscera eyes(the mars volta) does not limit his like of bands.
my name could be somethign like church_mouth but my favorite band could be someone like the fall of troy. you have no right to insult someone with an opinion when 1) you do not know his point of view on the subject and 2) you do not know his situation. he could have liked the mars volta when he made the account, but then later found out about portugal. the man and figured out that they are his favorite band.
you have no right at all to insult another person with an opinion, especially since you know nothing about the person and the reason for his comments.
i just wanted to say that i´m german and i´ve never been realy good at english so i wanna see how many mistakes you would do if youtube would be in german ?!
plus i don´t wanna fix my mind on a single band. that would be dull and boring. i do listen to various types of music and tons of different bands and if your to one-sided to consider this, i can´t and don´t wanna help.
Hey Macksonpackson you didn't capitalize at all in your comment, also you used an acronym "fav" without any proper punctuation. You my friend are a dumbass
FUCKIN SICK PIANO i love your guys channel you always have videos up at the same time a bands tour comes thru my area (oregon) i just saw them and minus the bear monday in eugene.
