Chad Vangaalen - Flower Gardens (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[EnoughToKill1000]

I came for the elephant, but i stayed to figure out that he was an alien.

[PanamaJewel]

Love this song. Boner achieved!

[BatteryHorse]

@CripNinja @xentech Aah! Who came first?

[jiggyy]

... Why are people talking about salmon?

[judeography]

When a grungy guitar hits you like bass in yo face you can't go wrong. put on ya seatbelts ma!

[maxmatt4]

I know i'll probably take alot of flak for saying this...but this is so grunge :)

[elevated5000]

AMAZING!

[buendia87]

nirvana meets menomena

[fabricionimrod]

HOLY SHIT! HIGH HIGH

[xaladolokiyo]

This sounds fuckin nice

[1chaoz]

This shit is trippy if you're fucking high!

[bamilovee]

......am i high.?

[eheffelf]

Oh my god. This is like a mix between Of Montreal and The Killers. Two bands I would never put together, but who knew they would make such great music.

[RyanBrodyW7]

this song g g g g g g g good

[inhalefarts]

2,332 people are gunna listen to this while drinking starbucks in their nissan leaf, scoffing at all the "unoriginal drones" that drive past. *hair flip*

[livemusicist]

@inhalefarts hahaha. I agree. People think musical taste is so black and white. who cares !!

[xaladolokiyo]

@inhalefarts I just listened to this without thinking it was exageratedly original while going to the bus stop on my way to doing some street drinking. *mi hair's down too 3 mm, so no*

it's not what you wanna look like, or what type of fashion you're supporting when you listen to it, just you either consider it good music, or you don't. All I read in these comments are allusions to some type of urban culture or other, doesn't anyone listen to the shit before hating?

[katesimester]

i feel like i'm on shrooms no matter how sober i am when i listen to this.

[iexplorer]

Chad Vangaalen, you make some great animations. This song fits it so well.

[blink1433]

@flyinfacefirstfist have you ever thought maybe someone could just be creative, I know thats a concept lost on most people being creative without the use of drugs. Everyone needs to share his videos and go to facebook/ChadVangaalen and like his page so that people like this are still able to succeed in this business.

[Karamvir24]

What a riff :)

[manyblinkinglights]

...6 more people read the top-rated comments and lashed out.

[robb3461]

Keep expecting it to say titties but always just says time :(

[flyinfacefirstfist]

stained is dumb

[flyinfacefirstfist]

also i'm not hating on this guy his songwriting abilities are amazing. but you gotta be a little messed up to think of some of the things i've seen this guy animate.

[flyinfacefirstfist]

chad is good but i'm sure he's done olot of acid in his time. I look artsy but all i see is "i'm an acid head and i love acid and i want you to love acid" good songs but the animations freak me out. It's like salad fingers on acid...... and salad fingers was like me on acid

[badluckrabbit]

@flyinfacefirstfist then maybe you should try acid

[nikt]

getting my ticket to see him tomorrow. yay :)

[QsarShuffler]

I think those dislikes are just people who watched this video from 0:00 to 0:20. Well, I guess.

[shawnsemchuk]

If you feel so compelled to peruse a video on youtube in the category of "ART", watch it to the end, and have the gumption to post a negative comment citing your discontentment with the video before countless fans of said ARTIST, all I can say is be prepared to receive scorn from fans in the 3rd degree. To all Chad Van Gaalen fans, be proud that you recognize brilliance in the field of Art that is unfortunately shaded by the field of Entertainment. KUDOS CHAD!

[trickynix77]

I really don't understand the impulse to hate on this guy. It may not be your genre, but come on, he does his own animations, by hand no less. Its brilliant. I can only think that the haters are envious. "I know a couple of kids who are more musically talented". Oh yeah? Who? Which one of them has an animated video like Peace is Rising? Let brilliance shine for a moment without some idiot, a**hole sh**tting on it . Celebrate humanity in its rare, but beautiful moments. Don't hate.

[MeaganIsPokemon]

mind: blown.

[ARAGORN41]

Fake and gay.

[Endeeder]

Fucking brilliant!

[skittio]

Contents of this video: 99% Hipster 1% Marihuana

[itsybitsy113]

HAIR CRYSTALS

[vizions89]

does anyone out there know the chords to this song? I would really enjoy playing it.

[rickequinox]

I have to say, i hate this sentimental old hippy drippy folk bollocks thats out there at the mo, but this is something else!, this is in an entirely different league, fukin brilliant!!!

[matthewm0311]

kind of sounds like the Melvins at first.

[AlanKinNA]

Out there, yes, no? I'd say ... th-th-th-th-th-thumbs up. Ears and eyes r-r-r-r-r real-lee-lee-lee-ly li-yi-yi-yi-yi-yiked it. Maybe more from subpoprecords (solo artist? duo, trio, robo?)

[FissureFilms]

YES YES YES! Wonderful.

[TrEvADiZasTA]

That song was amazing on its own, even without the badass music video.

[mrdanielaustinn]

acid is a gift from god

[d1h9d4]

Like



[killerkandi133]

dr. suess on acid

[changobilly22]

@killerkandi133 Suess was already on acid, this is more like Dr. Seuss via music haha

[spensergavin13]

i feel it

[PvtWang]

i've always wondered what the hell is the yellow bar thing in youtube videos near the beginning of the red bar that shows how much it buffered?

[mastersmasher2021]

@PvtWang that's where an advertisement will pop up.

[favoritefella]

@thebronzebat lol yeah..same band I think.  A coworker got mad at me because I said the lead singer of one of those bands must be super rich because he's in like 6 different bands. He couldn't retort because he knew it's true..they all sound the same.

[GSarovich]

I know it's all going to end.

[misstuesdaysgone]

great tripping song and video :)

[katewhiting07]

lulz @ 0:54

[favoritefella]

520 people are going to go back to their Dodge Neon with 24$ exhaust tips, turn on the radio, and rock out to some Staind.

Retards.

[lazare73]

@favoritefella BwahHaHa!!! Right on!

[skittio]

@favoritefella Shut up Hipster.

[favoritefella]

@skittio If being a "hipster" means validating my comment, I think you might need to find a different way to insult me.

[skittio]

@favoritefella You speak in a way i have never heard of, back off.

[sjpbuckley]

@favoritefella No need to be so judgmental. Not everybody is gonna dig the same tunes. Its not the end of the world. And its certainly no reason to be so unnecessarily rude. Live and let live doode.

[ybrik222]

@favoritefella

Don't you think that's a bit of a generalization? There can't even be five hundred people who like Staind.

[favoritefella]

@ybrik222 LOL..fair deuce. Maybe I should just say they turn on the radio. I think that about sums up what I'm trying to say.

[ybrik222]

@favoritefella

There are some good stations. Keyword: some.

[DarlingBeTrue]

@favoritefella wowwww that was he most pretentious comment i have ever read. congratsssss

[BlushingBull]

@DarlingBeTrue  i completely agree

[Fignewtonofd00m]

I came.

[skipthestairs]

chad should animate superjail

[invaderjay]

@skipthestairs that's a little redundant don't you think?

[DownWithTheEmpire]

i feel like doing heroin right now

[backpayne]

all his videos are trippin!!!!!

[SawtyNutz]

I don't know what's blowing my mind more, this music or these crazy ass video's

[BlushingBull]

i wish he would do an album of just kick ass shit like this song here.

[radioheadfan993]

Why are there so many dislikes? :S Ah, yes, those "open minded " people ;))

[jsilv63]

this song is amazing ! the rock n roll riffs and drum pattern aren't that much original, but the way they are used is incredible, it shows chad vangalen references but he always keep his own touch (like the gameboy sounds behind the guitar, or the sonic youth part from 1:57 to 2:07). also the vocal melodic line makes you addicted to the song... teteteteteteteteteteteteteteti­me !

that's a tube !

[dre3636]

dude this guy does some really really god stuff.. too bad i just got to know him today!!

[ShimmySystem]

drugs

[Torfy1]

why have people disliked this...

[YobSmoke]

@Torfy1 That's all the people who have watched this on acid & freaked the fuck out

[TreyRoque]

Lots of Beatles references in the video.

[Chesterton7]

yes, chad vangaalen is mv favorite composer-animator

[TTYumYum]

Chad VanGaalen ROCKS

[limbdarkening]

Great job, Chad!!  What program do you use to Animate? Flash?

[humansarebetter]

exploding backflip incredible..... floating on a wisdomtooth mindclock

[k0r0z1f]

Genius!!!

[CripNinja]

Believe it or not, a lot of people become infuriated by things they don't understand. As far as most people's realities go, they want to have a constant feeling of control, or at least a good level of predictability. When these people encounter truly genuine art, often times they can't help but to feel powerless, cracked open and peered into. Art doesn't always have an answer, when you still try to get that answer, you wind up with 516 disgruntled people who didn't "understand". Food 4 Thought.

[euroobaby]

@CripNinja My thoughts exactly.

[MMAIGGI]

@CripNinja That's how religions are born. People want answers. They feel scared and alone by things they don't understand. Brainwash a thousand people and you can do what ever you want with them. Religions are just ways of controlling huge masses. It feels safe when you have something to rely on. Even if it was all bullshit.

[sjpbuckley]

@CripNinja A very interesting take on things for sure.

[xentech]

@CripNinja Not everyone is the same though, a salmon dish from a top class restaurant is a beautifully cooked meal no matter who you are; but if you don't like salmon, you don't like salmon.

[CripNinja]

@xentech Agreed! :] If there's one thing I've learned from a popular year old comment, its that everyone has an opinion.

And if we don't like something, we're welcome to!

If I don't like salmon, that's fine for me to tell the cook, and surrounding guests, that I do not like this course.

But for me to sit down where I know salmon is served, when I don't like salmon, and I sit there and tell people how shitty I think salmon is, that's just malicious.

That's who I'm commenting at. Thanks :] <3

[bshizzle911]

@xentech I'm not a fan of salmon

[ProudAnselmo]

@CripNinja

Or maybe they just didn't like it you pretentious prick.

[favoritefella]

@CripNinja Damn right!

[ElectricEra1]

@CripNinja

Best joke on the dislike bar.

[jewsmakingmovies]

@CripNinja True words, so many people need to be in control and when they aren't the freak out. I was 1 of them then I trippd shrooms and had no control and because of that I don't need to be in control anymore because I learned to accept that we can't control all aspects of our lives though we can influence them.

[WilloughbyShreds]

He's gotta be on shrooms for every song he writes .

[djkitt]

This is rock and roll!!!!

[runitecastle]

why are there so many dislikes. all 515 of you can go back to lady gaga

[flyingbluecows]

HAHA! Loved that!

[starryskysrhere]

hair crystals

[Xxfire45]

i want a wolf car :(

[TheHippie27]

did anyone catch the subliminal message at 2:20 ???

I CAN'T READ IT!!!!!

[curtsonfire]

@TheHippie27 it looks like it says "captain good vibes"

[MMAIGGI]

@TheHippie27 "capt aim good vibes"?? the text was very hard to read even though i managed to pause it on the right time

[TheHippie27]

@MMAIGGI haha nice thanks, i tried pausing there a bunch of times, but couldn't get it

[MMAIGGI]

@TheHippie27

i read some older comments and it says "captain good vibes"

[indianajoelb3]

If you want to get inside of it you'll be swimming through the pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-­pi-pipes. Why don't we just make the best of it?

[hsv18871887]

what a fuck omg this is only for hippis

[snakedeyedfreak]

He is bringing back some of the psychedelic stuff of The Beetles

[Screamout87]

psychedelic and addictive!! Yeahhh

[slye1991]

Hair crystals?!?!?! lol

[jldkrank]

Has anyone heard the new Broken Social Scene song Forced to Love, it's like they are changing their style to be more like this. Check it out.

[gormley271]

itunes says that my people that bought my music have also bought his... what an awesome guy to be related to in any way shape or form. an incredible canadian artist.

please search for michaelgormleymusic

[flippyrocks892]

I wouldn't wanna watch this if i was on acid.

already trippy sober. o o

[ilovemutemath]

how is he so creative?

[ilovemutemath]

that comment was entirely unnecessary.

[Amiskone]

hey hey hey smoke weed every day

[spoogedude]

OMG that fucking dogcar

SO FUCKING SICK

[AnyWearAWay]

Chad VanGaalen is one of the best songwriters out there today.

[bluemountainskaters]

@AnyWearAWay not to mention his art and the fact he plays preety much every instrument and even handcarves a few

[spinalglacier]

@AnyWearAWay that's a bit of a stretch.....

[RaygunShaun]

@spinalglacier How so? He is most definitely one of the best songwriters out there today.

[spinalglacier]

@RaygunShaun His lyrics are very... simple.... not impressive in my personal opinion. His music is okay but I know a couple kids who are more musically talented but it isn't bad.

[RaygunShaun]

@spinalglacier To each his own. I haven't heard songwriting like Chad's in a long time, especially with regards to "Willow Tree".

[soccerjunkie7]

@spinalglacier the only justifiable reason for someone to say something like this is that they haven't listened to enough chad vangaalen

[crawxps]

@AnyWearAWay definitely, there's too much trash out there

he does his own video animation, i think its incredible

[unclemeat2u]

God, why haven't I heard of this guy before.

amazing

[bajaren12]

An elephant being hunted by wolf-cars... OF COURSE!

[Floodlezoot]

@bajaren12 ever heard of symbolism, buckshot?

[bajaren12]

I wasn't ironic or anything like that, I just think C-VG is a fkn genius!

[Floodlezoot]

Now that's something I can agree with. i've been watching this video for 3 or 4 years!

[JuliaJacobss]

o.o

Freaky Movie.. --"

Oh. The little red riding hood elephant is running from a wolf car. It's all so simple. God is a flying spaghetti monster

[mlawtone]

Yeah it is simple. I guess.

[QsarShuffler]

H. P. Lovecraft called it Ctuhlhu.

[aukamacic]

HAIR CRYSTALS

[LalaxoBrittany]

[craaabppl]

this video is way to hard to handle on 5 grams of shrooms.

[craaabppl]

toggaf!!!!!!! TOGGAF!!!!!!!

[philsynth]

Love the main riff on this thing, could of made more of the song I reckon but it's still good because it starves you as a listener, you have to keep listening again and again. The video's insane however.

[youstupidfayce]

Stinky slinky slow stupid slithering waffles in winter

[hangaroundtheinkwell]

wicked fucking cool. one word: synesthesia. and thats cool.

[chas25stevens]
