NeuRoSiS Stones from the Sky

[kanelid]

this song takes me to somewhere else... it's amazing

[pi3rc3d39]

tried to get these guys to trip some acid with me back in the late ninties in Memphis on some tour they were opening for Biohazzard. They said "no thanks Oz, we just cant trip anymore. Very intalectual guys who toured with their family. We smoked some cali cush that almost killed us all

[MiisterMusiic1]

I feel like emotions trough this music ... and that is beautiful ,when we're feeling the music inside ourself !

[MrKeybind]

OH ya that hit the spot!

[oaklandrmoss18]

Is this the Screaming Trees? (jk)

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@Iconoclast12100 your comment is boring. You are one of the many mindless sheep that follows the herd of "let's insult the latest popstar to show how much we hate him compared to our beloved music". The kid's name is on every goddamn video, even videos like these that have nothing whatsoever to do with him. Instead of phrasing a constructive comment, praising Neurosis for their genius you go for the most cliched comparison on Youtube. Just let people listen to whatever they like.

Hail Neurosis!

[karcosur]

@THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE wonder how this comment hasn't skyrocketed to fame with likes on it

[crassisdead]

@THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE I completely agree. I hate being reminded of certain "pop stars" and "singers" on videos of bands that have nothing to do with them.

[Hirn0815]

pure emotion!

[euriah1]

this. is. the. best. Neurosis song, hands fucking down..

[alec9billion]

o really

its really fucking good thats for sur3e

[WillHung669]

I blew up the high side of my Bose speakers to this one. It was worth it

[joeMFinjohnson]

I did respond a yr ago and nobody else did. I guess they're all dead.

[1awareness]

reaganomics!!! VARCAN! 

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[JonathanToomey]

Fucking great video!!

[MRCHNK]

В этой композиции весь смысл человеческого существования.

[mastodon2806]

i want to live and listen to this music the more i live the more i can listen

[AeroporcProductions]

The best song ever, can't stop listening it again and again...

[joeMFinjohnson]

The best live band ever!!! I've seen thousands of bands, but none of them capture your attention like these guys. They play and you shut up and listen!!! It isn't a party or how's your wife and kids or let's talk about some other band. It's Neurosis!!! I know they don't play a lot, but if and when they do, SEE THEM!!!

[lutheringram]

boring white mans music

[metaltilldef]

One of the best bands out there and this is my favourite song from their albums. Just pure perfection.

[witchrite]

21 people doesn't have ears

[AlecPS3]

This song gives me fucking chills. I love it.

[jondabudz]

Nothing touches the power that is neurosis. No other band gives me the feeling their music does.

[878commando]

i got that moment when your "suspended" , kin ell!

[Filipemetalwriter]

mi god this song is fucking disturbing like a crazy delusion i think he have his eyes on the hand

[Filipemetalwriter]

mi god this song is fucking disturbing like a crazy delusion

[eyehateumotherfucker]

What happened to Pete Ink.?

[BrutalMastodon]

when I first listened to this song, I thought my iPod was fucking up at the end of the song, and I got really pissed...

Trolololo!

[brandonr85]

The last 2 minutes or so never fails to give me goosebumps.

[DyingWater]

I want to die with this song in my ears. It has everything. There's a whole life in it.

[zapproowsdower]

@DyingWater yes... there's something so intense about this song, that it really is beyond words. the only other song that strikes me the same way would be 'blood, milk and sky' by white zombie. it almost feels like a sacrilege to attempt to sully it with words.

[Iconoclast12100]

Why does this only have 180,000 views and Justin fucking Bieber has 180,000,000....damn it people are fucking boring.

[oaklandrmoss18]

@Iconoclast12100 Cuz thats what the media feeds all these poor mainstream addicts who dont even realize theres way better music out there

[Sarothi]

@Iconoclast12100

No, people are fucking morons.

[neurogrim]

comparing good bands to justin bieber is just as boring whoever the fuck that is

[neolithicmembrane]

why is there nickelback videos in the suggestions? I hate nickelback, anybody who likes them should watch the video where they get stones thrown at them.

[y890x]

@neolithicmembrane lol the suggestions is for what you've watched recently...

[Nireih]

@y890x That's on the main page. They mean in the sidebar on this video, probably.

[TheMrRamingo]

Emozioni pure

Pure Emotions

Miglior Band del mondo

[Clissus]

@damarioxx1 May the Waring God smite them upon the brow with a hail of Stones from the Sky

[Clissus]

@damarioxx1 May the Waring God smite them upon the brow with a hail of Stone from the Sky

[weekendlobotomist]

Nero may have played as Rome burned but Neurosis played as the world ended

[RedRaven58]

A perfect death-bed - this tune, a big set of headphones and a monster amp. Just feeling the rhythm wash over me.

That is providing I don't go deaf first!

[xXEPICSXx92x]

Yay! Mega sublimenal seizure time! seriously though thats so atmospheric and emotional, getting downloaded off of itunes for sure.

[linkinn18]

The only sludge metal song that i like...really awesome!

[jokelab]

How does Nickelback make it into the suggestions sidebar?

[RedRaven58]

@jokelab What I'd like to know is what corporate drone let them into a recording studio,or which sound engineer let them out alive to infect more unwitting souls with banality. Having said that lets not be mean to Nickelback, because lets face it, the vast majority of what passes for music these days is pure and total dross, devoid of any real creativity and in now way contributing to the social and cultural evolution of humanity. Art died shortly after god I reckon.

[mydonkers]

@jokelab ive seen metallica in the suggestions sidebar for a megadeth song, so anythings possible =\

[BurglaryoftheSenses]

@mydonkers Are you implying that Metallica appearing in the suggestions for a Megadeth song is something that wouldn't normally happen, as if they're not related in any way? Don't be a fool.

[vaedjan]

FUCK. THIS. IS. GOOD. Everyday when you find new good music on the tube you cant go to bed, and it ruins your fucking life.

[Dago666]

16 epic fail

[gab136]

Look at it from the other side: great musicians should try to write a song, a good song, consist of 2 riffs playing over and over instead of making 25 minutes suites with all these insane solos.

[deeve76]

This is the greatest track by anyone ever.

[BennickGAdeus]

The way I interpret this song is like... the beginning is one's disillusionment of the content of their soul. It then becomes the progressing, evolving expression and discovering of ones soul. Finally, when the static comes in, it means that the soul has become so free and evolved that it can no longer be bound in interpretation through even the wide grasp of musical expression... it simply becomes... beyond words or anything, just an absolute... sublime entity within you

[acandycolorednick]

neurosis just is so great...words cant describe the feeling i get when listening to this song

[DeathMetalforever]

This band combines a perfect kick ass Metal with ambient psychodelic sounds.... a perfect harmony between evil and peace, a Post Metal Yin Yang. God damn if I had the power I would say lets gang rape anyone who doesn't like Neurosis!!!

This is one of the few bands that make me play their songs and repeat them over and over and over again! I would kill anyone listening to this song!!!!!

[Hateeternal2009]

@DeathMetalforever they remind me of the doors

[RockstarVaci]

This video is... fucking awesome!

[warlockboyburns]

a glimpse at great beauty

[TheSoohr]

Almost crying. This whole album is a masterpiece, and this song is a masterpiece in a masterpiece.

[deezeeweezy925]

Sunday, october 24, 2010. 04:32. I have witnessed 14 people with internet connections and access to YouTube who have comletely lost their way and obviously had NO BUSINESS clicking on this link and watching this video. OR they are clinically insane. OR mentally retarded, oops, pardon, new terminology these days: they suffer from EXTREME congnative delay, yeah, that...

Man, please!!! Get outta here!!!

[GeneLattanzi]

This album reminds me of my time in the Salem homeless shelter and an old friend within. Not necessarily a bad thing.

[PredatorSoulfly]

The album is so powerful that when you've listened to it from start to finish, you feel like you've been on a epic journey of rediscovering life, death, energy, matter and thyself...you get the feeling you've pilled off your own skin and you're reborn. But then again...you get that feeling with every Neurosis album.

[DEADMANSJOURNAL]

Was I just mind-fucked? Amazing song.

[mushey2576]

F**king INCREDIBLE,first time i have ever seen or heard this band try listening and watching at 3am on a large plasma high def tv in surround sound with all the lights off. AWESOME

[GripTightThin]

This song needs to be played loud.

[mudaodlabuda1]

i'm losing when i hear this song :D

[deezeeweezy925]

Absolutely, unquestionably, although morbidly BEAUTIFUL...

[at0mic1188]

if aliens visited me and asked for some cd's this would definitely be one of them.

[Valathe]

@at0mic1188 along with precambrian from the ocean and a determinism of morality from rosetta...along with stuff from isis, gy!be, mogwai etc etc etc

[Adam4T3Middleton]

@at0mic1188 holy shit! a cool comment

[xXyourmomsballsXx]

@at0mic1188 why would aliens ask you for cds. thats stupid. your a moron.

[at0mic1188]

@xXyourmomsballsXx trololol

[TheRoykmann]

you are troll and moron

[realpeacevirtualwar]

When I listen to him shouting the question "You've been shown over and over, don't you know?" I can't help about feeling a desire to shout "I KNOW!"

Really intense lyrics and music.

[alcoholya]

12 brain dead losers.

[DavidSaintOnge2007]

after i listened to this song, i had all the proof i needed for the theory that music--powerfullll music can in fact evoke fear and awe in the human mind. was anyone else tripping over the ending??

[Nobodie92]

This song is nothing short of amazing.

[mancho747heavy]

Reading Hermann Hessen while listening this, is awsome!!! just one more dimension to this world,

[BiCMOS666]

OMG!!! This song is f-cking amazing, the video totally rules... I like this band a lot, their music is so intense... I mean, there are not much bands doing music like these guys... and yes, I thought my CD was damaged...

[cvela20032003]

I'm glad that im not seeing any negative comments. I'm sick of people telling me to listen to music like "The Wall" rather than this. Neurosis, I love u for what you put in motion.

[CorvidaeHerald]

I always wanted to like them, but never did.

Guess I like the novelty after all these years.

[ilovemyrussianak]

I have goosebumps from this..

[ThePaperchamp]

I totally yanked my CD out of the player the first time I was listening to check for scratches.

[Heretique82]

♥

[Heretique82]

♥ . . .

[TigerEyeJewel]

at first i was like ...its noise i dont like, now its like, need. more. volume. must. be. louder.

[willbilly2fistmcgee]

Right on !

[lygophile]

i never heard a 3/4 this lovely. ever. usually only 6/8 can do that.

[GinaKaos999]

THere is a band i really like, with a heavy Neurosis sound to it...called "City of Ships"

[drylung3030150]

sounds like jim morrison thats kinda eerie. i cant find another band of this magnitude, in post metal at least, oh shit besides Isis.... isis is good.

[Coldubh]

@drylung3030150 Isis owes its very makeup and soul to this band but you knew that right?

Yes both bands own face. Not saying Isis sucks, they just copied the right band.

[thisis4germany]

video reminds me a bit of 65daysofstatic's "Drove through ghosts", but just a bit. :D. epic song

[greeborhys]

from 6:25 to 7:56 it's almost like The Diamond Sea by Sonic Youth

[greeborhys]

@greeborhys WHAT about that comment merits a thumbs down? jeeeeesus...

[MattVoltaXIII]

@greeborhys  nah. not so much.

[greeborhys]

holy shit. all that with just two chords...

[danielcm81]

@greeborhys

never underestimate the power and beauty of droning.

[slaughtermaster]

The end of this song is so sick, it makes my balls hurt.

Steve Albini did a cool thing on this record where once he recorded it, he blasted the song into the main studio room on a pair of speakers, put a microphone in the room and recorded it back to tape. Then blasted THAT recording into the room again, repeating this process over and over again, picking up the sound of the ROOM over and over again, naturally distorting the recording until all you here is bizarre room overtones, it's crazy.

[slaughtermaster]

I could be wrong about it being this song... or this record. He definitely did it at some point though. Stole it from some crazy french guy who did it in the 60s with the sound of his voice. Anyway, Steve Albini made this record sound retardedly heavy and awesome. Love it.

[HelloLettuce]

This was done with all songs on A Sun That Never Sets. With Erode it was done twice, three times with The Tide, and the repititions increase with every song. With Stones From The Sky, this was done 30 times.

So where can you find this? On an album called "A Resonant Sun" by Neurosis' sister-band "Tribes Of Neurot". Like Through Silver in Blood and Times of Grace and their ToN sister-albums, you're supposed to listen to the two matching albums on two separate stereo systems.

[HelloLettuce]

Oh, and the sister-albums to "Through Silver in Blood" and "Times of Grace" are "Silver-Blood Transmission" and "Grace" respectively. I ripped the albums to my PC and blended "Suspended in Light" using Audacity, and made sure to pan one track more to the left and the other track to the right (not 100% though, I wanted to keep some sense of stereo sound from both tracks).

The result? A very intense and "full" sound, and a somewhat different experience/approach to the music.

[slaughtermaster]

I dunno if we're thinking of the same thing... I'm curious what you're talking about though, where did you hear about this?

I'm talking about blasting the 2-mix into the room as close to unity as possible and mic-ing THAT (2-mix in the room) over and over again, the end result is a jumbled mess of room tones and weird harmonics. You can kinda hear it at the end of this song but I dunno about the other ones. I'm curious about it though, let me know what you read or heard from!

[HelloLettuce]

The song "Erode" was played on a stereo system and recorded with a microphone, and the recorded audio was then played on the stereo system and recorded with the microphone. Basically "looping" the song into the microphone and out through the speakers twice. For Stones From The Sky, this was done thirty times. The final result can be found on the Tribes of Neurot album "A Resonant Sun".

I think the information is actually available on Neurosis' website (or their store).

[slaughtermaster]

woooooooord.... I've been meaning to check out the tribes of neurot stuff for a while now. the whole concept of matching albums is just fucking radical. thanks man!

[Neurosis11001]

The Tide,From the Hill, A Sun that Never Sets,Falling Unknown,Stones from the Sky,Burn,and The Eye of Every Storm are my all time favorite Neurosis Songs

[Enelaire79]

the soundtrack of the end of the world ... GREAT!

[Psychedilic123]

when it started, i thought what a beautiful start! when the vocals came, i thought it fits perfectly, then the riff!! sudden stop,then back up again!!!!! THIS IS MUSIC!! THIS IS THE BEST!!! so many thoughts went through me throughout the whole song!!!!!!!!! THX NEUROSIS!!

[Andyarr]

LOVE the guitar at 5:45

[SP1R1TCRUSH3R]

absolutely!

[drillerkiller863]

Feckin Awesome... Now hands up all those who thought their CD was scratched?

[Mordecai132]

lol

[Valathe]

@drillerkiller863: *rises hand* took me some time to realize that was the song itself. imo one of the best neurosis-songs ever, what makes it one of the best songs at all

[Knezevic83]

@drillerkiller863 Haha! Good one mate, i even downloaded it from few different places in seeking for non ''scratched'' version xD

[christbait]

@drillerkiller863 HAH I returned my cd twice before I figured it out..

[seanypantsisntgod]

@drillerkiller863 hahahahahahaha. totally man, when i saw the dvd i was like ahhhh, feckin crows...genius :P

[danielcm81]

@drillerkiller863 haha! so true man, I was headbanging so hard until I head the "scratch" on it, good times.

[kabirlovero1]

Pure greatness.

[Meph1986]

Oh good. Those skips near the end were intentional.

[thebigeasy87]

i think i just came a little bit

[PixelsMorts]

Gave me chills...

[HellDrinker]

This is just... wow!

[Kharnivore2099]

Sheer Brilliance.

I think i could probably deal with the end of the earth open armed if this is how it sounded.

Just amazing.

[SP1R1TCRUSH3R]

my favorite song at the moment!

i always wondered why the sound at the end of the song is a lil bit disturbed? is it intended or what?

[Mastosis]

because the stones from the sky hit's the earth... my guess but i don't know really =)

[TheJontslayer]

Yes, it's intentional. And VERY hard to accomplish while still staying in time. Just proves once again Neurosis + Albini = untouchable

[andrearot]

devasting! i love it :)

[petachechtak]

I love this song!

[daveschmit]

epic

[Adam080]

i dunno if black holes make sounds...but i imagine it's similar to this

[HidetoraHikimonji]

Best.Comment.Ever.

[yusifer]

That comment was almost as good as this song. Thumbs up!

[itix1]

@Adam080

I assure you, they don't ;D

An atmosphere consisting of some sort of vapor is required and the gravitation is too strong for that.

If they did though, I bet it would sound like this ;D

[Adam080]

@itix1 ha! thanx pal

[xsupercerealx]

Amazing Relapse never fails to sign epic bands.

[klothomat]

like to get high on this tune, best "stoner" rock ever:)

[Matthew1242]

if you are looking for stoner music you ought to check out Electric Wizard man

[camboishawt]

no shit i props on the blazing to this song definatly dope shit im doing that right now

[usefulidiot227]

Ya know, once you've seen the whole video, and not the 3 minute one, it kinda makes sense.

[salimi71]

SPEAKERS BLOWN. PERFECTION!

[dzdzsinister]

[luki667]

[30TOE]

i used to work in a factory that had machinery that had the same bell tones when it started up. both an honor and a disgrace to hear. i kid...neurosis are genius!

[merlina666vicius]

[kabirlovero1]

Band- Neurosis

Song- Stones from the sky

[AeonCatharsis]

Not very observant, are you?

[luki667]

4' - tool

[ULraWTF]

Tried to get into Neurosis earlier this month, but couldn't do it. This changes all that.
