Minus the Bear Performs "Hold Me Down"

[jrbaconcheez]

god i love this song.

It fits perfectly with where I am in my life right now. thanks mtb....

[atdi19]

ide be dancing my ass off and all rocking. dumb fck crowd i would kill to be there.

[coudu8ed]

awesome. crowd sucks tho

[Heartburnhurtsbad]

I like how there's only one guy wobbling back and forth at 0:56, he seems to actually enjoy it, haha..

[akkeso]

EPIC MILK BEARD

[freakwarrior]

I was wondering on the "HD" video why i wasn't hearing the Classic MTB Crazy amounts of tone. But then i saw they were using the shitty house amps.

Their gear is far superior...

Fuck Jimmy Kimmel...

[hdc9468]

The singer looks like Charles manson.

[ETHANIOSAURUS]

Minus the bear amazes me. Their music is a mix of so much it blows my mind. Its all so peaceful. But the drums and guitar is so heavy sometime. and they headbang A LOT. Its' crazy. I love it.

[IICHAZII]

their drummer is absolutely amazing.

[ihatespongebob]

none of those people seem to know who they are having the opportunity of watching. it makes me wanna hit them.

[Dumbishowwecome69]

Pretty sure Jake Snider moonlights as an axe murderer.

[sethmurderous]

Lovin this. Unfortunately, they MIGHT end up like Kings Of Leon, mainstream, predictable, but....good. Too bad the shitty people who don't appreciate music will be TOTALLY into it, and have no idea what musical talent is.

[thecomfortisnow]

@sethmurderous Or we can try to get rid of the bad music.....by becoming more popular.As long as the bands arn't forced to change their sound.

[ThatThomasGuy13]

@sethmurderous I hope it doesn't get like that, too. But with Dave pretty much being the "leader" and having him play in bands like Botch, I doubt they'd sell out... I hope lol

[RandyMarsh101]

These poor depraved children don't know what they're witnessing, all they have on their minds are little wayne *(yes i said little) and lady gagga. They don't realize how lucky they are to see Alex and his porn stash that rocks!!!

[Peeze16]

looks like charles manson did get out

[yoyoyoson]

alex has a hipster stache hahaha

[FRENNI13]

dude the audio for every talk show sucks ass

[hollystark]

The great thing about the internetz is that you can have whatever opinion you want. There is no right or wrong with music. Musicians should especially understand this. Minus the Bear rocks.

[riskygerbil92]

@hollystark

unless its blood on the dance floor

i really dont think theres any way to win that argument

[needledropdamagedone]

CD lens cleaner REVIEW on here ! Brian Eno's influence ! 4recreation tells it all. It kicks ass ! Kicks booty ! Party on, dudes !!

[needledropdamagedone]

CD lens cleaner REVIEW on here ! Brian Eno's influence ! 4recreation tells it all.

[ashleyemanuel2487]

JUST saw them in concert. even better when his beard his 10 ft in front of you.

[boywithamonkey23]

sorry. and don't send me stupid replies...

ahem... miley cyrus, britney spears are on tv and sell records...

and yes... I have been on tv and sold sevreal thousand records. I'm a 21 musician who has opened for Rock and roll fame acts like George Clinton, Motorhead, and other bands. Am I famous? no... but I know good music from 4 white guys with lots of effects on their instrumments and medicore volcals from what looks like a drunk

Jesus....So.... Your a fucking idiot and your fat :)

[srhslaxgoalie]

@boywithamonkey23 Just saying (don't get fussy)... just because you claimed to play music and sold a few records doesn't make you a musical expert. It's fallicious for you to act as an expert and claim these guys aren't good when a) you're not famous (or even nearly as famous as them), b) they've sold way more records than you and c) they have a bigger fanbase than you. As for someone being a "fucking idiot," I don't think they actually posses the "fucking idiot." Use "you're." Not "your." :)

[brettmullenfilm]

@srhslaxgoalie Agreed. His statement should be as follows: "I do not enjoy the band as much now that they have jumped on the synth band wagon". Besides how much can he think they suck if he bothered to watch their video and comment? If I do not like a band I certainly don't search for their music. I'd be a waste of my time.

[boywithamonkey23]

this band sucks... sorry. and don't send me stupid replies... they suck and you know it. they should have never jumped on the synth band wagon. they suck.

[alanslife1]

@boywithamonkey23 are you making music and touring and coming out on tv and selling records?? you sir suck

[JN1C333]

@boywithamonkey23 minus the bear doesn't suck.... YOU SUCK

[ZosoDelta]

@boywithamonkey23 Well....you suck...sorry. don't send me stupid replies. Minus The Bear have been around for nearly 10 years and have used synths that whole time. And their old synth player has worked with, produced, and engineered albums from bands like Deftones, Pearl Jam, Isis, Mastodon and Botch. IE some of the most talented bands in modern rock and metal music.

[TheMthrfcker]

is that who i think it is?!?!?!

answer: Charles Manson

[cachick420]

Love their swagger

[superdude1452]

when i saw them live it was so much better

[jrbaconcheez]

best song on new album

[neverender888]

Weird, I've never seen Jake without a Telecaster. Amazing performance, just as I'd come to expect from Minus The Bear.

[ETHANIOSAURUS]

Was that keyboardist always in the band?

And damn i just realized Jake used to not always have an epic beard.

[84willem]

awesome :)

[000surfin]

he looks like jesuss

[fezzappa]

@000surfin do we really know what jesus looked like?

[000surfin]

@fezzappa he look like the jesus ive seen in portraits and in church mister

[kilnamartyrasnowmob]

@000surfin He reminds me of the dude from the big lebowski!

[thebigdirty1988]

at :30 seconds in jake eye fucks the shit out of the camera make the song that much better!

[GuitarTek86]

whoever mixed this sucks at life

[gabrielink91]

omni is their worst album yet.

[LomoMop]

@gabrielink91 it could be but they are still my fave band

[seanoreilly111]

@gabrielink91 word, i like it and all but theyve just changed so dramatically and are really synthy now if thats a word, i miss the taps from highly refined pirates

[liddljit010]

we are the romans

[tissue67]

they went more towards mainstream with this album but i still like it each song builds on the one before it

BUT

Menos el Oso each song can stand on it's own and is easily some of their best

[Hesthewizeguy]

.... alex needs to rid himself of that mustache

[ant1ph0n]

i want your cum fart for the evening.

[HarrisonQ]

it's good to see their bassist up and on his feet.

not strung out sitting in a chair outta the lights..

[nocarey]

sounds a lot like My Morning Jacket. . .good jam

[cha1235]

they look like a metal band that wears collared shirts

the headbanging doesn't help either lol

[acidsould]

@cha1235

Hes right though. They just seem a bit awkward on this set.. not really their element plus a crowd that doesnt even know of them doenst help. They just wanted to keep some energy if if they look stupid doing so

[flyingtoaster99]

i don't see how the crowd can be so sedated with such epic music coming from the speakers

[starsturncold]

@cloudchaser07 this is one of their most tame songs. look at some of their songs of the past 2 full lengths theres a whole hell of a lot more going on.

[bryanvangelder]

Minus the Bear plays an exclusive 'unplugged' set at Lastfmdiscover studios!

Lastfmdiscover.radio.com

[Catzwitch]

When did the 60s/70s hair/beard style come back in?Its like the Beach-Boys-meet-Manson era.It looks like they haven't slept in a week & have been up doing acid for way too long, but probably comes from washing with organic baby-seal-hide-free shampoo then applying generous amounts of eco-friendly axe-scented product. I would think, if I was going to be TV, I might actually spend time making sure I didn't just look like I had spent the last 3 days on the street getting high with a hooker...

[rh117]

@Catzwitch shut the fuck up

[ros585]

@Catzwitch its called being original and the love of the music. not how you look. your a typical american listener, who only looks at how the people look, not how the music sounds or the creativity in the music. minus the bear is fuckin beast. go suck a dick! :)

[abrod77]

Sexy shit

[whenindoubtdanceout]

strange to see a band where the drummer is the most attractive member.

[tycooninfaith]

MINUS THE BEAR IS AMAZING; videos do it NO justice. go see them LIVE. $10 will make your night FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. <3

[cloudchaser07]

i dont see anything special here. i mean why the 5 member band? its a flat line normal music. the police were a 3 member band and they raised hell. they cant make music like they used to,

[chdavidson1]

@cloudchaser07 Obviously this cloudchaser isnt a fan of MTB. Listen to their old stuff and you will soon realized why its a 5 member band. This is off their new cd which is very different from their old stuff.

[ThegodisAbraxas]

Seriously these guys should come to Hawaii. Too bad I'd be the only one at the show lol. And whoever said the keyboardist sucks should be somewhere watching miley cyrus and justin bieber videos right about now, so it all evens out anyway.

[thewisers]

Minus The Beard !!

haah one of the coolest bands around!!!!

too bad i am italian and they ll never show up down here :-(

[t2p5g4]

These guys are so good that they can have an ugly untalented keyboard player and still sound good

[Lauren956]

i love this song! DAMN i missed it... :/ 

[Lessthanmeofficial]

This sounds awesome.

[HipsterKiller]

This band sucks balls

Zac Galifanacas should stick to comedy

[cherubicwindigo]

@HipsterKiller THATS NOT ZAC GALIFINAkis

[theskankinponch]

@HipsterKiller fuck naw

[deifiedx]

i would form a mash pit if i was in there....mite be cool...

[daedley]

@deifiedx I was at their concert in Columbus OH and people started a mosh pit there. It was pretty sweet.

[verne30]

love love love this!!!! doesn't get any better than Minus the Bear.

[sirberner12]

Zach Galifianakis from the The Hangover is the singer

[klswn22]

@sirberner12 because he has a beard? you're fucking hilarious...

[stlbadger]

@klswn22 bro no worries, don't make this an argument like every other youtube video out there

[guestofyourparty]

@sirberner12 go fuck yourself.

[sirberner12]

@guestofyourparty why when i can fuck you mom.

[mateovosganian]

BEARD CITY

[alex888brain]

Whoa Dave Carnie sings in a band?

[nchammmer10]

i want jake to rub his beard on me.

[downburst]

they should have played dayglow vista road for sure!!!!! this is still good though :)

[mrbuttercake]

I wish they would play fooled by the night

[NealHXC]

@mrbuttercake agreed.

[totootututwo]

If I could have been in that audience I would have cheered and danced around loud enough for the entire crowd.

[flakernate]

the crowd looks so clueless, but dangs.. dave goes off like he's in botch again. Tight.

[ScottRoseVideo]

Best Band Evar1!

[AvengerNoonZ]

YEAHHH!! love this band :D

[ItsMBizzleSuckas]

Excellent Song!

[cha1235]

@msmomadrid lol yea

[capachiatta]

ahahahaha!

[brasiliennr1]

i think he looks like zack galifianakis! lol

[djStellar]

Great song=]

[garrettitachi]

kind of looks like jhonny knoxville. without the beird brown hair and different haircut

[thee1andonlyme]

@garrettitachi lol you could say that about anyone by looking at their forehead but I see what you are saying.

[jKRONKitup]

damn. first view first comment beast
