Still Pending....where are you!!!

[iamthenmam]

@airventschinatown Haha good way to look at it. I wish they'd come back though. They said they'd be releasing a new EP, like, last year.

[airventschinatown]

They're gonna have to pause on the videos for about 2 years while they hit puberty.

[randomvideos64]

dude you guyz obviously arent little kids.... be yourself..... mosh in the crowd!!!!

[SamisLykeCoolio]

[girlovecupcake]

[gibsonlover103]

You guy's need to ditch the whole kid image thing. People will never take you seriously if you keep that up

[TillmannBTVdrums]

[NutsandGuts]

It's Haiti not "hatti"

[noodle4313]

check out my band on my channel

[spateeight]

Yer good but ditch the whole kids image . Otherwise youl be associated with the miley cyrus type.

[theflaminhearts]

the flamin' hearts will rise and destroy you

[firruna]

GRATE concert!

[hellothereimasian]

Well, as a fellow musician on all your instruments, as well as piano and violin(im planning to become a composer), I highly recommend you guys start studying music theory, by the time your all in high school, you'll be a prodigious group. Start off with the basic major and minor scales, then building triad inversions such as diminished, augmented etc, and work with writing solos and doing the notations properly with key signature and such.

[stillpendingmusic]

Thanks - yeah, we are doing this already. Our guitar teacher teaches us theory and so does my piano teacher.

[hellothereimasian]

oh thats great! =] id love to hear you guys in the future either go down the bebop/free jazz genre or the progressive genre. Don't forget to work on techniques as well such as sweeping arpeggios and such

[spateeight]

Real bands dont study music, they make it. Thats why ALL GOOD bands are unique. Music isnt like school. Most musicians hated school and studying.

[hellothereimasian]

Studying music is important if you want to get any were and sound unique. Most main stream bands just know the bare minimum of standard major and minor chords, but most musicians hated school and studying? Most professionals actually studied music theory. Music is a science in the way it can be experimental with modes, and building complex chords. It's a math cause of note value and time signatures(which is not tempo), and it's a language in itself.

[spateeight]

These are the words of someone who will never be a succesful musician. Music is not a science and any decent musician would tell you to fuck off if you tried to tell them so.

[hellothereimasian]

haha these are the words of someone who doesn't even play an instrument or doesn't even bother to even look at any clinics for any instruments. Please tell me, if music was not a science how is it that it is composed. Do you even know what makes a chord? A chord is not just a silly string of notes, it actually has relevance, it's a formula of stacking a root and a third and a fifth from a specific scale for basic chords. Your opinion to me is invalid. Name a few of your "decent" musicians please

[spateeight]

Iplay guitar and piano.ive been playing 8 years and music is creative not scientific. The likes of bb.king ,jimi hendrix , Kurt Cobain etc didnt piss about with science. They wrote good music. You are trying to make manufactured music. The only idol you could have is simon cowell.

[hellothereimasian]

First of all lets deduce this, since you play piano and you've been playing for "8 years" then you'd probably know music theory. I doubt you know what the modes of the major or minor scale are or what a time signature is. Yes music is creative but there is science and math behind it and it is a language. B.B king knows theory since he plays blues, he uses alot of blues minor scales. Jimi hendrix had alot of music in the phrygian mode, and kurt cobain he atleast knew how to string complex chords.

[spateeight]

Of course they learnt the chords and scales thats how you learn to play an innstrument but you cant produce music scientifically.

[hellothereimasian]

Yes you can't because it takes thought and emotion to, but analytically music has theory behind it. The science or technicality of music is called music theory, and it's there to support musicians and composers knowledge to help further them in a technical aspect so they'll be able to write more, and thus making them a better musician, music theory doesn't mean you lose your feel, it just means you'll be able to deduce what happens in a song, or you'll know how to formally put a song together.

[spateeight]

I suppose.

[handman4646]

@spateeight dude your talking about of the flukes of guitarist, look at steve vai or jimi page...almost every "god" guitarist knows a good amount of music theory. to throw it under the table and say its not real music is foolish because its a good thing to know and understand and have under your belt. you can still be creative and knowledgable

[spateeight]

When I buy an album or go to a concert i dont ask what the bands qualifications are.

[yousurnaym]

the guitar looks like a bass on that kid

[SoniKturtle]

Some part of the solo are just not good... like the trash part just before the tapping section. I think a solo must have a direction and must be directly linked to the chords.

Some parts to me sound like you play random notes in a scale you know. try to get original ideas and make them stand out.

[drummer12FD]

when are you guys gonna put some new videos up? haven't seen any updates lately!

[twilightsamira123]

u guys are good! i just wish the freakin' people in the backround wouldnt be so loud so i could hear u sing!

[ugh113]

My lil bro has that shirt... just sayin haha

[SoFckinEpic]

Wow, you guy's are insanely great at playing. I must say, I'm completely jealous of each of your talent. I'm 16 and only started playing nearly a year ago, and to be honest, your shredding capabilities are inspiring. lol. Putting together a great band such as this is not an easy task and I give you guys major props. I really hope to see more vids coming soon! They're truly amazing.

[Cassie20690]

I was there....You guys are the best!

[surfergirl9648]

Do you guys have any acoustic or instrumental versions of any of your songs?

[mkbitchin27]

i wish i lived in portland cause i am twelve and i play guitar and im as good as you guys, so it would be cool to be in your band

[quitergf]

r u alternate picking?

[stillpendingmusic]

Yes - Reed alternate picks.

[angry09]

Cool very impressive

[DieVissi]

guitar solo ♥ nice song

[snowboardergirl14]

ya do a cover of know your enemy! that would be awesome

[WreckageBand]

they prefer old green day i think

[baylorredding]

you guys should do a cover of know your enemy by greenday please write back.

[stillpendingmusic]

We aren't filled with rage and envy. All I said was why would I want to meet them? Their music style is totally different from ours and we just aren't interested in what they are up to. You're right - we've never said anything mean about them and we won't. We can't just "ask them" if we can perform some of our songs. It doesn't work that way.

[mgak05]

Still Pending is much better than The wolf brothers they sing music that has no pasion or meaning just what people want to hear still pending is way better

[stillpendingmusic]

Why would we want to meet them?

[alendas]

dayum

Sexy boys

:P

I love you guys!

[myspace89c]

you guys planning on doing covers of the new Green Day album??

[stillpendingmusic]

Ha ha - working on some right now!

[sillybassplayer]

awesome - can't wait to hear some!

[myspace89c]

nice, which songs from their new album u guys practicing if i may ask :)

[rally52]

What happened to Ian?

[LordAbortion1114]

Cool shit guys, definatly. Not a fan of the stuff you guys write to be 100% honest but I can't believe how good you guys are. It just isn't for me. I can appreciate that you are light years ahead of anyone your age and are great musicans. Kid, dude, guy on guitar... you fucking slaughter that shit! I'm very impressed!

[sillybassplayer]

Hey Reed - that solo at 2:15 kills!

[stratocasterkid4]

get a real singer i mean seriously

[cutiegirl21658]

[austinsplace1]

Wundervoll!! Großer Job! Million Sterne! Schönes Lied!

Awesome video & song. 5 stars. :)

[sillybassplayer]

Does Andrew also play a Nelson? (checked out his page - very sweet looking guitars and local to boot)

[sillybassplayer]

nevermind - your message answered that one! C'ya!

[spottedpleco]

Great work again kids. Your ego's are in check because you really care about kids across the world. You and your parents should be very very proud. See you in NYC soon.

[lilhell52]

these kids are amazing

[sillybassplayer]

are the comments gettin' wonky? thought I saw one that said Reed was playin' his Jackson? Maybe I'm losing my mind too :)

[mhia29176]

wat drum set is dat?

[sillybassplayer]

that's a jackson? doesn't look like a jackson headstock. -?-

[stillpendingmusic]

Oops - no, that's his Nelson. Nelson is a local guy who makes custom guitars.

[TheSadres]

awesome!

[JurkeyTURKEYwait]

You all should try murdering your egos. They're clearly about 90 times too large for a band of this "magnitude" and age.

[stillpendingmusic]

What makes you think we have big egos? You don't even know us.

[01Justin010]

they all look like they are having alot of fun.

i don't know what you're talking aboot eh

[stillpendingmusic]

Exactly. We were having a good time.

[iturnish96]

i like your guitar screaching there nice!!!!!!

[rockgod37]

what guitar are you using? PRS?

[sillybassplayer]

don't be an arsehat - you don't know these guys - they're very cool!

[mhia29176]

pfffft u dont no shit! I would like to c u have a band and make it as big as these kids!

[JurkeyTURKEYwait]

Wow you ARE a tough guy, aren't you? Obviously, by having the I.Q. of a sandwich, you were unable to comprehend the fact that I would not want to be these kids. They seem to be overconfident to me, and I don't think that it's justified through their music.

Also, if I don't know "shit", then how come you seem to have trouble forming basic sentence structure, and spelling out words like a normal person?

[mhia29176]

Im a girl and my I.Q. is 165. I bet u cant even keep up ur retarted classes at ur communtiy college! I bet u live in a fuckin trailer and shop at da dollar store cuz u have no life other than posting shitty comments on ppls videos

[JurkeyTURKEYwait]

...oh my God...you really are retarded, aren't you? You know that 140 is a genius IQ? That would mean that you are among one of the 10 smartest people alive! Yet, you can barely type properly! Considering you are only 10 it is impossible for you to even have that high of an I.Q. since your brain is still developing (at a very slow rate). Stop embarrassing yourself.

P.S. Steven Hawking's I.Q. is barely over 160. Obviously you don't know who that is, but you will now check wikipedia to find out.

[devil2hell]

wow you really do get the impression that people have started to mate with vegetables

[mhia29176]

Dats rite I am the smartest person alive and I dont always have to use proper grammar ur just some stuck up dick hole

[devil2hell]

ha ha dick hole

don't u mean arsehole fanny head lol

can i make i suggestion?

GO DIE!!!

[JurkeyTURKEYwait]

Haha wow! Oh now you were just joking, right? Of course. That's because you know that you just made yourself look like a complete retard. You can't even contemplate the fact that I said "one of", not "the". Shut up. You can't win when you share your brain with a sandwich.

P.S. I didn't even mean to offend these kids. They're good, I just think they should be a bit more humble about it.

[stillpendingmusic]

So by humble you mean we shouldn't perform and play to the crowd? It's funny because when we were younger and we used to pretty much just stand there, people trashed us for that, now you're beating us up for rocking out with the crowd!

[JurkeyTURKEYwait]

Umm...I don't recall making fun of you lot for playing in front of a crowd. Although I do think you should have waited until you were older to start doing shows, that way you won't always be thought of as a "kid band". It's just that your wikipedia page is twice as long as a few of my favorite bands (who are a lot more famous, no offense). I don't know how anyone outside the band's family could write so much. And I'm sorry you have to deal with idiots like mhia liking your music, that must suck.

[stillpendingmusic]

We didn't write the wiki page. If you know about wiki then you know one of the rules is that a neutral person is supposed to write the article. If you look at the history, you'll see that lots of people have edited the article. We can't help it if it's long. People have tried deleting it a few times and other people keep bringing it back. If that means we have big egos then I guess we're full of ourselves. We didn't wait until we were older because we like to perform. People can think whatever.

[a3randommike]

you guys are awsome i think i suscribed

[spottedpleco]

Hey kids you are a very special group. Anytime you put yourselves out in public you are going to get criticized by people who would rather see someone fail than be a success. The fact that you play for kids around the world and LOVE doing what you do should trump any one who needs to try to make you guys feel bad or spoiled or whatever. Be proud of what you have already done in your young lives. I see so much more in the future. Keep up the great work and have fun you have earned much respect!!

[stillpendingmusic]

Thanks for the nice words. We're pretty used to the few nasty kids and people who are out there. We've pretty much noticed that the kids who can actually play music and don't have anything to be jealous about are really nice to us and respect what we're doing. It's the kids with no videos who maybe wish they could play or don't have supportive parents like we do who seem to be the meanest. It's too bad these people need to tear us down, but that's just life. Thanks for watching!

[Jaydenable]

nice

[innocentdaysmusic]

hey Grant, Reed, Andrew

another yours great video?

you know we love this song (just like all your others), you know that we appreciate you so much for your skill... but we are fed up with always repeat that you are very good and that your performances are impeccable, excellent.

When you decide to do something wrong for we can tell you that you are not perfect? ahahahahah

We love you.

Ciao :-)

[RedHotRock93]

[stillpendingmusic]
