Silversun Pickups - Checkered Floor

[fuckyertube]

Unlike anything I've ever heard...still, in 2011. Fuck. So, bittersweet. Makes me miss 07

[THEOWNERPWNER1]

When he says "please don't stop singing" I get chills. XD

[wifflum]

The drums in this band are like the best ever. They are what stand out the most by far for me. No doubt everything else is also good, but the drums are definitely what make me keep coming back over and over; I can't get over how awesome they are.

[longbeachcity7468968]

<3 Oooouooooo uoooooo uuuuooooooo :D i love that part 

[rynog55]

@longbeachcity7468968 Yeah i love singing along to it trying to imitate his voice haha

[Notawesomeatall7]

WHAT is this song about???

[aaron6669990]

@OhCrapItsRay listening to this song completley sober is great.

[mitchskates420]

this band is pretty amazing...

[Seffrey62106]

Three people accidentally hit the dislike button, maybe it's dyslexia.

[darbsterino]

Catch and release is the best SsP song imo but this is pretty damn close

[DarkoMarco72]

@darbsterino

Wow,,,I am so with you on that. Catch and release is freaking amazing. Such an awesome song.

I'm kinda hard to please with modern music. But SSPU are just awesome, every album. The shins are good too.

[420Guitar420]

Who cares if someone's gay when they make music like this. You're obviously here cause you're a fan. How does it affect your life that a musician in a band that you like, who you will never meet, is gay?

[DarkoMarco72]

@420Guitar420

Honestly it seems like gay people care the most. It's like, gay folks get pissed if someone isn't waving the gay flag. I say it's not nessasary, Who you are is not nessasarily your sexuality, your sexuality is a part of you, but, it's a sub facet, note the defining characteristic.

[Saharah237]

@DarkoMarco72 fuckin fag bag shut up

[420Guitar420]

Who cares if someone's game when they make music like this.

[carlita8019]

Can anyone see how this band is hip to the Illuminati and the control by major music industry. they either are or are aware of TIs Targeted Individuals and are telling us in their music to beware.  I love these people!

[420Guitar420]

@carlita8019 You must be smoking some amazing bud.

[DarkoMarco72]

@carlita8019

I have no idea what your talking about. I'm hip to the conspiracy world, but SSPU are a break from that for me,,,I don't hear anything of the sort in thier music in that regard. Unless of course your refering to the fact that,,,a checkered floor is a masonic symbol. But,,,,I don't think they are going that route.

[mellowtonen]

@carlita8019 Yeah I hear ya on that. I've thought the same thing, their lyrics tend to have a lot to do with " we know things you don't know" and "strange plans for the future of humanity" They gotta know what it takes to make it in this music industry (selling certain ideas to the masses and sticking to what their controllers tell them) though they do it quite artfully and obscurely....still a fuckin great band.

[job45acowboy]

this cd was my life during the triple c days

[eliwamo]

Carnavas is the best all around releases from Silversun Pickups. I love playing their songs, the guitar parts are catchy and fun, the lyrics are always fun to sing using my Brian Aubert voice, and Christopher Guanlao is an amazing (but tiring) drummer.

[eliwamo]

Carnavas is the best all around releases from Silversun Pickups.

[SuperJmilton]

who gives a shit if he's gay or not. His contribution to music is noticed

[MisCamalia]

so amazing cant wait to hear more...

[BruinsGuy17]

No band has ever grown on me as fast as SSPU and each album they put out gets better and better.

[SquirrelAssauIt]

Amazing band simply amazing... I tried to get my brother into them but sadly he thinks his voice annoying.. I don't know what it is about his voice but it just is amazing to me. Great song, infact I love every single song they have made, that has never been the case with any band for me. My favorite band ever.

[Xzilence1313]

"DimebagsleftToe" your a fucking retard dude. This guy's voice is absolutely amazing. You should not be allowed to comment on this band. These guys have become the definition of why I love music. They stand for everything. I dont care what you music choice is, if you dont like these guys you dont like music. Period.

[knsc9]

one of the best songs sspus have even tho all there music is amazing , there even better live by 100 times

[jorboogie93]

Amazing song.

[cnyce04]

this chorous is amazing!!!!! its life!!!!

[OhCrapItsRay]

Listening to the chorus on this song while stoned is like - fdasfsd indescribable.

This song is incredible. <3

[cnyce04]

@OhCrapItsRay i agree 700%!!!...ithought i was the only person that noticed

[InsertZipCode]

@OhCrapItsRay This song is amazing enough without being stoned.

[Juiceboxgurl16]

i love this song, i keep replaying this song over and over again :D <3

[88mpny]

You like this band check out SECRET & WHISPER great white whale they also are an awesome indie band.

[DX4LIFFE]

Dont know bout you guys but I just love the MMM'S at the end

[vdoza33]

almost every silversun pickups song is really fun to play on drums...especially future foe scenarios.

[Stephani123456]

SSPU

[TheBlackrogue111]

amazing songg... i hav this whole album on mah ipod, and iz like... amazing, xD idk wat 2 say lolzz

[xXxEmoxXxkidd]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SSPU!!!!

[ronofdepere]

lol @ mellowtonen. true story.

[ShikatFilms]

Awesome song.

[boons50]

they have a great drummer

[crazyloudjukebox]

@boons50

Chris = <3 Chris (drummer) is amazingggg. They all are though :]

[zeromaniac96]

WHOA WHOA. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE8, OOO VIEWS AND THATS IT. well its ok cause at least that might mean they stay underground. but actually people need to hear them and learn what music is. SSPU for life. and all the people who say they suck then whyd they get a grammy or whtevr nomination. if u dont like a band then dont talk shit..

[DimebagsLeftToe]

yeah totally man, thanks for bein cool. also, cmon, do you know who chooses the grammys? its very political.

[mellowtonen]

i love these guys, but to me Grammys don't mean a band is good, look at all the shit out there that is at those awards, its just a mass gathering of mostly mainstream heads to count their profits off of artists. Also really they are SP (Silversun Pickups) but yeh then it looks like SP (Smashing Pumpkins i guess)

[zeromaniac96]

yea thats true about the grammys. even if they do turn into a huge band who r a bunch of dicks ill still listen to them. and then if they get big yer gonna hear people sayin, " o look another mainstream fag listenin to silversun pickups." idc though. and yea sry i guess u do have to drop the other s though.:D

[zeromaniac96]

ok. I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!

[OhCrapItsRay]

My absolute favorite song from this album -- ALL of the songs are good though!!!

[xxgAggYchiZZyxx]

instead of a debate how bout a comment like--> I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!

[BaggenDP]

The wonderful thing about YouTube is YOU get to decide what you listen to and watch. If you don't like a song and or video don't watch and listen. Watching something you hate is stupid.

[doodlin17]

lets just enjoy the music.

[ColorBlind66]

umm hey blanketman thats pretty hipocritical. u r talking shit right now.

[BlanketMan95]

ur right my fault. i just get kind of mad and then i start ranting or typing and i end up being hypocritical. im not trying to be a douche either. thanks for letting me know.

[BlanketMan95]

I highly doubt that Brian is gay. I agree with joey jokester to keep your comments to yourself. I'm tried of people "venting" on the internet. People only talk shit on the internet because they are not face to face with the person that they are arguing with. Youtube is a site where you share your videos not pick fights with the other members. I'm tired of people doing that. By the way, the Silversun Pickups is an amazing band. I have all their songs. Checkered Floor is in the top ten.

[88mpny]

@BlanketMan95 totally agree with you people talk shit cuz their not standing face to face with you. bunch of pussies.

[BlanketMan95]

@88mpny exactly my point... thanks

[coconutwalrus139]

@BlanketMan95 omg i know rite... i only found out their lead singer was a man liek 5 minutes ago. i mean i have all their music but never knew! imagine how surpriesed i was! lolz ^ he strains his voice alot. thats why he sounds liek tyhat i guess.. it reminds me of like 60s hair bands voxalist lolz. all their music means so much to my everyday existince lolz.

[coconutwalrus139]

@BlanketMan95 my favorite song ever is future foe scenarios lol and panic. also lazy eye. moo love them. !!!!!

[DimebagsLeftToe]

this band would be great if it wasnt for the gay ass singer

[joeyjokester]

keep those comments to yourself. Brian is not gay, and even if he is, who gives a fuck. he is amazing singer. this band is so inspirational. They have given me hope for music. I used to think only 70's 80's music had what it took to be good music. But I am realizing there are a couple of good bands from nowadays including SSPU and Great Northern. Thanks alot GUYS. ohh yea and DIMEBAGLEFTTOE FUCK U ASSHOLE. FUCKING GAY ASS HOMOPHOBE GO KILL URSELF.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

eh sorry jsut wanted to rant, ive been trying to like this band for so long, but cant get past him.. i dont want any more whiny boy alt bands, wheres all the professional guys

[curvdaryn]

I can respect your opinion, but I don't think professional is the word you are looking for. How would a high voice make him unprofessional? By that rationale then barry white must be very professional since he has such a low voice.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

not a high voice, i didnt say that. john frusciante sings in falsetto, and i love it. this is whiny, theres a difference. their tone is like every other alt band out there, you know the voice im talking about. the whiny teenage voice.. i know he cant help it, it just drives me nuts

[lightmyfire07047]

then don't listen to it, fucktard.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

haha, look at mr coolster over here. thats the reason im listening to it on youtube; decided id give it another chance.

[zeromaniac96]

well i mean i see where yer comin from but its cool cause he can drop it if he wants to. and they dont play the same type of music. atleast u didnt say like fuck this band or somethin. thx for not.

[mellowtonen]

i know what u mean by whiny voice, but this guy just has a high emotional voice, listen to mainstream emo, that's whiny Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Gaymance, etc.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

right? thank you. and thats not my cupotea, so yeah.

[NattttX345]

lmfaooo.

my chemical gaymance.

i love you <3

[TheStupidPsychoBob]

@NattttX345 my chem rocks dude

[huns24]

true they all sound the same

[Dleedude]

@mellowtonen Fall Out Boy's Singer is awesome. Even if you don't like Fall Out Boy, respect him. He's serious about his music.

[mellowtonen]

Go listen to Nickelback dude if you want retarded anti-art music

[DimebagsLeftToe]

hold on, bud. im all for artistry, thats what grabbed me in this band. its the singer that makes me turn away. in fact its his voice that turns off the arty appeal in their songs. it reminds me of anti art music like ok go, all american rejects, etc.

[xCodyxRayx]

I see what your saying. but i don't see that in his voice. its unique to me. and amazing. love this band as of late

[derickhaywood]

hating gays doesn't mean your a homophobe so stop being an ignorant fuck because being ignorant to freedom is just as bad as being ignorant to peoples freedoms so get your head out of your ass and learn what it means to not be a fuckign cunt

[joeyjokester]

so you are justifying someone hating gays? ok ummmm how bout treating everyone equal? and not discrimination against someone because they are gay. you call me ignorant bu yet its dimebagslefttoe who is commenting on brian's gayness and how it kills the band for him. So i think you are the ignorant one.. sticking up for a fag hater.

[niggazunite]

Fuck you, the singer is fine.

[globalchaos1984]

@DimebagsLeftToe He's what makes the band unique, you either like a band or you don't, trying to make yourself like a band just makes you a poser.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

@globalchaos1984 no... acting like i like the band makes me a poser. and i actually DO like the band, i just cant stand the singer. and its not unique to have a singer like that. the band, theyre unique and make very good music.

[globalchaos1984]

@DimebagsLeftToe obv the band is good but the singers voice adds an extra dimension to it, it wouldn't be near as good without him.

[BaggenDP]

This band and album and song are the shhhhhhhit!

[sk8forlife1800]

snicks0 is so right hahaha :)

[TheBronxMadeME]

THIS SONG IS CRACK

{~_~}

[Jerehk]

does that mean it's on 90% of all american money? (cuz i agree, it's wicked enough to be able to pull that off =oD )

[o0hammertime0o]

dont hate,

appreciate.

:)

[snicks0]

dont hate,

masterbate.

:)

[rere6c]

Checkered Floor is the devil floor

[snocerhturt]

[djglide123]

I'm glad i put the album on my 360 it gets me flowing on the game :P

[oliverm955]

fuking awesome .. i want their album

[JPastey]

I've always know about them. But I just recently got into them. lol

[djglide123]

Fuck everyone who hates them why hate love SilverSun Pickups

[pinballwizard8394]

screw everyone who hates silversun pickups they rock

[oliverm955]

i agree all the way budd

[HockeyFanatic24]

one of the best all around cd's ive heard in a while.

[MetroidFan621]

Yep, they don't make many CD's like this nowadays. Not exactly revolutionary, I mean, they pretty much sound a lot like the Smashing Pumpkins in their prime at times; but there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that.

[kyeruu2]

sexy : D
