Godspeed You! Black Emperor pt 1

[LadyKayKay1987]

I seen GY!BE last night in the Barrowlands in Glasgow.... It was life changing!! So bloody intense! I loved it!! :D

[islespatrick]

I'm seeing them in Seattle with a friend...i'm willing to spend the train ticket money to see them..because they are just that good!

[BuddyWillis]

did they ever do the dead flag blues live?

[NightmareGanon]

Pretty good. Reminds me of The Angelic Process for a while, but then it adds some more ethnic sounds into the mix.

[likkleting]

oh..just read below....sorry.

[likkleting]

albanian ...right?

[iwearmaroonies]

@likkleting

...yup.

[danielkills]

Amazing.

[meinLiebsterFeind]

I love godspeed but frankly this sounds like complete shit.

[BogiTors]

I sow them twice here in reykjavík some years ago. It was one of the great experiences of my live and i was not using mind altering substances.

[cassiotones]

I envy so much...

[thespunk666]

tout simplement le plus grand groupe du monde

[Spacemonkey3000BC]

I wish these guys would just get back together already. I would see them live in a heartbeat & I would probably take some mind altering substances with me. Heh heh.

[tomata182]

why must we bring drugs into it.

[zaxang]

Agreed. You would decide to alter the perfection that would be the rejoining of Godspeed for the first time in over (x+7) years?

[sceneofamurder]

no need for mind altering substances. GY!BE are mind altering on their own

[panikattak14]

you dont really need em now do ya? They're all the mind altering you'll ever need.

[Disgustipat3d]

pure,simple,ambient choking feeling

[cakespit]

tracks like albanian and tiny silver hammers are some of the best tracks never recorded on cd.  endless supply of live shows of gybe on archive(dot)org

[youtooberdudebro]

Lift you skinny fists like antennas to heaven is my all time favorite!!! its all good!!!

[MeatheadWarriors]

U serious...?

Please tell me that was a typo

[Drewb18c1]

just because you don't have a long enough attention span...

anyway, it's hard to take people seriously when they like slipknot LOL

[zorrell]

what song is this? I don't recognize it. Is it from Static? I don't think it's world police friendly fire. Is it?

[mriley75]

The track is "Albanian". It was never released, only played live.

[RobbCappelletto]

'Albanian' was actually available for download on their website for a very brief period in early 2003.

[cyrrusdavirus2]

You don't happen to have that recording, do you ?

[CerpinTaxt1983]

the best music in the world is godspeed and the mars volta

[satanicsquirrel01]

agreed.

[plutoohno]

the mars volta suck dude.

[CerpinTaxt1983]

thats good dude.

[Kjobbit]

Deloused was good, the other albums, not so.

[eraseyourself]

Frances the mute was better.

[Kjobbit]

I prefered that album for a while but now dont really like it. To much filler.

[hailradiohead]

really really miss this band...

[nicknack534]

WHY DID I HEAR OF THIS BAND AFTER THEY WENT ON HIATUS?!

still, I'm glad I found out of them. I agree with whoever said that they were the most significant band of the last decade.

[starbug666]

Dammit I would have been there, but my best friend had to go and plan his wedding for the same day. Anyway, c'mon guys, put Mt Zion on hiatus for a little while and bless us with more music!

[monkmellon]

Oh god, this is TOO MUCH!!!!! SO SO FUCKING GOOD

[paintbalesf]

I would pay BIG money to see these guys play!

[zissuntetnah]

btw.. I have just posted a live video of gybe! playing moya! unfortunately it's incomplete but the first part is really magic!

watch it ;)

[misterbuckethead]

one of my faves! That is my fave cd as well.

[bemperor]

Than You very much for this song worshiping me, but I don't like it.

BlackEmperor

[zissuntetnah]

that's just because the audio quality of this video is really bad. try to download another version from archive dot org (go in the site and search godspeed, you'll find it ;). I recommend that from the show at 9:30 Club in Washington DC, USA (4th March 2003): it's awesome!

[Schopenhauersghost]

I've seen them twice. Unforgettable.

[Syndikati]

I believe you every single word...becoming jealous

[marthais]

I hate you now... ;) Never seen them :(

[orientalnegro]

Even worse is the high probability that we'll never have the chance to see them perform live ever again :(

[HejnTilMig]

:(

it's so sad

[zaxang]

ill hate you forever

[lllSagelll]

wow a lot of replies

[charlieonehorse]

what song is this? sounds egyptian

[localdummiesguy]

"Albanian" Its thus unreleased, but I'm sure you can find it via the Internet Archive. :)

[charlieonehorse]

Lightning Bolt=ear wax

[desh79]

Of course. :)

[desh79]

Easily the most significant band of the last decade.

[raist2]

thumbs up thumbs down thumbs up thumbs down thumbs thumbs thumbs

[popduds]

I saw them perform March 5th in Baltimore, Maryland at the Temple of the Free Masonry. Yes, the venue is as cool as it sounds and yes, the show was simply mind blowing.

[zissuntetnah]

This show must have been that of 7 March 2003 (go on the official site of gy!be and you'll find the list of all their shows, with tracklist where available).

The show of 8th March is that of 40 Watts Club in Athens!

By the way thank you for posting..you'll receive a private message soon!

[tomenko86]

wonderful!!

[slitheringinterstate]

I got to see them in Pittsburgh a few years back at Carnegie Mellon University.

They were transcenfuckingdental.

[AsAutumnDies]

I was going to drive down to Pittsburgh all the way from near Buffalo to see that show...I really regret not doing that now since I will never get the opportunity to see them play.

Did get to see ASMZ though and they were amazing.

[strychnine133]

i would kill to see gy!be.

[bravehoratious]

Wikipedia says: BOSS GE-7 Equalizer, BOSS TR-2 Tremolo, Maestro Fuzzstain, Z.Vex Tremolo Probe, Z.Vex Super Hard On, Mutron Phaser II, Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler

I know that Maestro Fuzzstain is one of the old Moog models. They are really rad, and the distortion and volume knobs are huge and easy to move with your feet. Sometimes they pop up on ebay.

[pwningphil]

WOW ... there's a lot of pedal effects in use by Efrim

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

mesmirizing unfriendly music. trace like in places and almost like van der graaf generator meets hawkwind. Tho still unfathomable eclectic prog!

[DoctorTchock]

Absolutely brilliant band

[mirtoni]

This sounds like the unrecorded (yet) song "Albanian", the sound quality isn't that good tho :/

[ProblemAudio]

were those lights flashing "Hope"

[localdummiesguy]

Yep! Those are films that Efrim (guitarist) makes to go along with the music. I think "Hope" is a reference to something they spoke about awhile back. They said they would all buy a hammer and beat the white house and pentagon down, brick by brick. Now they have shirts with tiny hammers that say "hope" on them. :p

[ZOMGTEHLEET]

Gotta love Godspeed

[lahmpowder]

great band. Are they still about.

[bubs16]

Yes they are. But they are on indefinite hiatus.

[stgodd]

sounds sorta like isis

[njchad]

cool

[PolkinhajIsGod]

The song is Albanian

[indievision]

Do you have fingers? if you have, choose your longest one,penetrate it in your ass and... enjoy it!

[Magunga]

yes

[ZOMGTEHLEET]

go listen to Brittany Spears

[lumpykills]

what song is this?

[neopla]

bah um show do godspeed deve ser alucinante...

muito bom

[Chupacabra777]

god I'm pissed I missed them last year... greatest band in the last 10 years.

[cakespit]

it also says the show was in athens.

great show tho albanian's great.

[cakespit]

found the show at archive(dot)org go there it says this : Godspeed You Black Emperor! Live at 40 Watt Club on 2003-03-08 (March 8, 2003)

[hewey999]

The world needs more of this and more bands like this! What´s happened to music, this decade?

[bravehoratious]

do you remember the obnoxious person yelling "play something we can dance to! asheville likes to dance!!". that was horrible.

fortunately, i toughed it out because for some reason i've managed to block out the negatives from that night and just remember how great of a band godspeed was.

[agencyfilms]

WE WERE AT THIS SHOW... CROWD SUCKED... VENUE ALWAYS SUCKS...

LEFT EARLY and WAS PISSED...!

NICE VIDEO THOUGH...

THANX... AGENCY FILMS...

[Rhym35w1th0range]

Fuck that!

Under NO circumstances, would I ever leave a Godspeed show.

I'd just tell those obnoxious people to shut the hell up.

[jacobestes]

I haven't been to a Godspeed show, but the people at pretty much every show I go to suck. We usually just try our best to get up front so we don't have to look at anyone except the band. I would love to get to see these guys live.
