Minus the Bear Soundwave 2009 Promo

[hollaatyaboy12]

its hard to believe they wrote this song over two years ago now

[ihatecarebears1]

into the mirror

[Groupri]

come to Chile

:)

[Kubiak04]

Yeah I wonder if they released instrumental records of all albums wouldn't that be a smart move? At least do it digitally so they won't worry about physical setbacks etc.

[ilivesixstrings]

10 times. try like 300 for me. I leave it on loop sometimes. great back ground music. i wish it was like lotus. no singing though, and not so upbeat like the thingy video. Just Chill. I'll be honest. with ice. i started listing to old kings of leon. as before noone could make me take out my MTB from the CD Player. No worries. this new album...excited does not even cover it.

[asgRYAN]

i've watched this maybe 10 times and it still never gets old.  pleeeeease flesh this out into a real song.

[cisforbecky]

will someone send me this please? like in a message how to get this song on mp3? that would be excellent..

[ant1ph0n]

go to megavideo, they already released the single on itunes but if you're broke like me, like i said, go to megavideo and it's uploaded there... or i can just e-mail it to ya if you don't already have it.

[MassiahForTheAnimals]

Haha I don't give a fuck if it's a song. Sounds like audible tits and that's all that matters to me. You two quit bitchin' and enjoys the damn music.

[tigerjon666]

word broski

[ArtDamage911]

about my 10th listen and i still cant get over it!

[gbluez]

I really like the DL-4, but the loop feature robs your tone of FLAVOR!

[Night4Watch23]

One riff? I don't think so, they wouldn't get that repetitive.

This is a pretty cool promo though.

Good job Minus The Bear, you guys amaze me!

[HomebrewMelvin]

In their twitter/myspace status update they even said it was just one riff from a song fleshed out into a jam. Way to fail.

[Night4Watch23]

man. epic fail on my part.

[richie92509]

does ANYBODY know when their new album will be released?

i seriously cannot fuckin wait.

[Thatch4244]

Supposed to be released sometime this fall.

[DarianMogili]

I'm so glad i live in Seattle.

I am here at home waiting for your next show you guys. Bring it in!

[HomebrewMelvin]

According to their myspace status this is just one riff fleshed out into a jam.

[lllostmotelll]

If by weird you mean awesome, then yes, it's fucking weird as hell.

[Fucabagman]

grade A

[twostarhotel]

well their newest tweet says theyre tracking it so i guess were gonna see it on the new record for sure :)

[motorhead412]

not necessarily. they've said that they'll record a bunch of songs and then cut it down to a short list that will actually make the record.

[urface421]

Amazing! Can't wait till it's finished

[mustardman2006]

dave you are a guitar god

[12b3c4]

this song is fucking sick, i cannot wait to get this.

[lllostmotelll]

Hopefully it will show up on the next record.  With lyrics. Seems like when Jake starts playing, I could imagine him singing something against that, so I think it's a good chance.

[12b3c4]

yeh its such a great tune and seems to have gotten a great response so i couldn't imagine them not including it. regarding lyrics, i think it is fine as it is. I don't think lyrics would ruin it but i think its just as enjoyable as instrumental song.

[youryella]

there is no such thing as an instrumental song. Songs have singing.

[xOrangeLazarusx]

Fail.

[Fornicator666777]

Its a dummy rhythm dipshit. Thats why it sounds so lame. one Jake gets in there and rapes a little it'll sound fucking stupendous.

[deirdrannb]

Agreed!

[gmoneymcfly2k]

nope. you are definitely wrong. if Mendelssohn can do it, then surely MtB can.

[youryella]

Mendelssohn called it song without words. He was specific. Just calling anything instrumental a song is incorrect. Sorry to burst your bubble. This is why the dictionary exists. Go look it up

[gmoneymcfly2k]

I wasn't calling "anything instrumental" a song, asshole. I said you were wrong for saying no such thing exists. I proved you wrong, regardless of Mendelssohn being specific or not. Maybe the sarcasm of a rock band having all the talent of a 19th century compositional prodigy escaped you. Maybe it didn't.

[youryella]

HAHA they don't, sorry to burst your 5 chord bubble.

[gmoneymcfly2k]

you don't get it. you aren't bursting a bubble. "sorry to burst yours." find a new insult.

go look up sarcasm. That is, afterall, why dictionaries exist. MtB Vs. Mendelssohn = not even a fair comparison, not even the same genre, not even the same time period, not even close.

[lllostmotelll]

Are you retarded? Ever heard of Explosions in the Sky? They're strictly instrumental. And fucking good at it too. Do some research next time before you embarrass yourself again.

[youryella]

You didn't make any point there. You probably got kicked off of debate team too. Fucking moron

[lllostmotelll]

And you didn't have any knowledge on whether or not I was on a debate team. That's just as moronic of a comment as mine might have been to you. Regardless, when you make a comment that says "instrumental songs don't exist" you're being pretentious with such a specific definition of "song".

[youryella]

"Song" - a short musical composition with words; the act of singing

haha. You're an idiot.

[youryella]

Ha. Embarrassed myself in front of some dork sitting in front of a computer making comments on youtube all day.. Sorry I'm not as cool as you!!!

[12b3c4]

i came back to watch this video again and it seems you are the one making a lot of comments. i made a comment saying that it's a 'great instrumental song' which you told me off for. whether its wrong or right, does it really matter that much? i was just making a harmless comment and showing my apprecitation of the music, like most of the other people who have commented and all i get for it is some miserable youtuber telling me that my phasing is wrong, just seems petty.

[kristenbullard]

i fucking love this song

[poncholiro]

latin-america tour please guys!!!

[yungo14]

im gonna be listening to this forever

[asdftyty]

Speechless!! Ill be stuck on this video for months now

[RenegadeDoctor]

you're drum set seems to be a lot bigger in studio compared to live.

[thexsilas]

jesus christ.

[brunohide]

[musicnote4514]

[thatguydav]

O_O

[ripkd15]

OMG!! please come back to new york your concert was one of the greatest experiences of my life

and this song is to great for words...saying this song was amazing would be an insult to the group

[sonofranfan]

This song is SOOOO chill! wish i could listen to it on the mountain. also for the guy that asked the drummer is wearing asics i think.

[MelonMelanoma]

I'm excited about these guys, very talented, extremely creative, this tune is the all around feel good tune of 2009...so chill.........

[jewbilee]

I officially cannot wait for the new album... the evolution of MtB has just taken another great step forward into awesomeness unknown to man.

[209SMLX4]

This is fuckin brilliant!!!!! Amazing man.......

[ailbubble]
