Ice Monster - Minus the Bear

[bmiller234]

She's Gone

[actionnotforce]

@jaredboog yes i did see them live back in 2010 at the newport in cbus. the just didn't care and had no stage presence. i expect a band to actually give a shit about their music and presence, not just create good albums. albums are so doctored these days that a good album is not a token or measure of greatness.

[MusicalTeddybearBomb]

Yeah I heard they are pretty bad live, but hey, at least they have some truely amazing recorded songs :D

[crazyydemetri]

@MusicalTeddybearBomb hell no man ive seen them twice they are fantastic live and always give a great show. they use lots of light effects and add trippier sounds to their stuff i highly reccomend it

[actionnotforce]

These guys are terrible live.

[jaredboog]

@actionnotforce Have you actually seen them live? I have seen them 3 times and thought they were great every time... I'm not sure what you expect from a band, on the road all the time, but I thought they sounded amazing. @crazyydemetri You hit the nail on the head. :)

[jimiq22]

Amazing voice!!

[Mlee20202]

Such an awesome song. 

[CrystalxDropDead]

this song is so relaxing... :)

[RolloTheApollo]

I paused my porn for this.

[ijustrocklikethat123]

Minus El Oso is a great band to listen to under the influence of marijuana

[sebasp777]

@ijustrocklikethat123 sounds like a stellar idea

[jperezsd]

Incoherent thoughts all around all great for the vibe that the song gives off I cant concentrate on the lyrics with such great music in the background.

[debonaire33]

i love this song but it makes me so sleepy...

[CuriousChris94]

Chill.As.Fuck

[al0tlikevegas]

i masturbate to this song

[s3ntimental]

error 4:04 - bad music not found

[iLikeKnete]

i dont understand the video..

[CuriousChris94]

this song is chill as fuck

[swilleyswilley]

pickle you cumquat

[tomkojak]

This is a win!

[tomkojak]

WINNING!

[forizzer69]

This song is like that '70s show B.J. and the Bear... minus the bear.

[AllieTheEmoKid]

Whoever disliked this FUCK YOU. You have no taste in good music.

[BBoyKawaiiDesu]

@AllieTheEmoKid In answering as you become more concrete than those who do not like music. J'ime well but then I respect those who do not! It takes all sorts to make a world

[TheMoncibaiz]

@AllieTheEmoKid only your opinion emo kid

[RyuuzakiXIII]

@AllieTheEmoKid Boring dumbass comment.

[RedEyesSg]

@eddieisfiction I'm pretty sure the delay pedals and loop stations that the guitarist uses are Line6 DL-4 pedals he uses several of them horded together. (i saw 4 of them hooked together)

for clarity check their live of "Knights"

[greenteaclub10]

This and "into the mirror" are the best Minus the Bear songs

[ZacFreeland]

@greenteaclub10 That's debatable. I like Knights, Absinthe Party, Rob's Alien, Pachuca Sunrise. There's not a bad song by them though, which makes it hard to say. Everyone has their own feel; they are such a diverse band after all.

[nip5olaaa]

@greenteaclub10 fuck yea i agree completely

[poopsmash18]

"hey poopsmash18 how many views does it have?"......."Its over 9000!"

[sofiacamille]

@poopsmash18

haha that freaking B.A

[sofiacamille]

@poopsmash18

haha that freaking B.A

[MrElykNella]

So I had this great idea where people left comments pertaining to the video an its content, not about how many people like or dislike it. Sounds pretty cool 'eh?

[Jdvstheworld]

11 people dont give a fuck that you make these stupid jokes, and are happy you talked about them

[dallasrocks198666]

Epic song from an epic band

[jakup10]

10 people don't like Minus The Bear..

[falltoprey1]

Soooooooooooooooo awesome. Best band to chill to, no competition.

[xxMZ1xx]

i think its just getting old when people say shit like "oh 10 people blah blah blah" or "__ people who disliked this video are yada yada yada"

its unoriginal and old, just stop

[SUPADUPACOOPA]

Man on youtube comments everyone makes the same damn joke.

10 People's parties are over.

[petite1paula]

love these guys

[markcity777]

epic... one of the best.

[kakooffaf]

10 people that dislike the video were minused by the bear

[thenovicenovelist]

@kakooffaf Love this comment!

[slavesbydesign]

And one faggot named @kakooffaf made a shitty generic joke. :D

[localsa]

@kakooffaf But getting minused the bear isn't bad. When someone offers you a BJ and the bear, you don't really want the bear.

[sexykatie90]

Rsonist88 my msn in profile! Ice Monster - Minus the Bear

[RandomGenericComment]

the band reminded me of the chill of winter, not the skin tearing life-threatening chill, but the feeling where it seems life itself is swelling with stress, this music relaxed and refreshes you like the breeze of an early morning winter. but with this song, it is winter lol

[momo13992]

You've come to this -------------> THE GREATEST BAND EVER. PERIOD

[donya58y]

nice video!

[MrShakejunt559]

I just had sex with my girlfriend to this song like 45 minutes ago lol

[bomb003]

@MrShakejunt559 you only lasted 4:04 minutes?

[drumsex]

@bomb003 hahahahahahaha i laughed a lot greets mate

[bomb003]

@drumsex lol ma nigga this song is badassssss

[XavierMukizer]

@bomb003 Fucking Win.

[MrShakejunt559]

@bomb003 Lmao yup! I was shootin blanks. Lol

[lhpsbass1]

@bomb003 Dude, listening to this song, you can only help but last that long.

[bomb003]

@lhpsbass1 word up 

[ownworstenimy]

@bomb003 your reply looked funny dam wish i knew what he said.. lol

[BubbleWagons]

@MrShakejunt559 I'm making a sex playlist for my ipod right now, just added this.

[jumpit11]

@BubbleWagons What else is on it?? I put this on mine too!! Along with everything "kings of leon". :)

[fireNmajic]

@MrShakejunt559 chicknbonenowesonnnchicknbonen­owesonnnchicknbonenowesonnnchi­cknbonenowesonnnchicknbonenowe­sonnnchicknbonenowesonnn hermans my hero!

[fireNmajic]

@MrShakejunt559 wait im pretty sure i saw you posted the same thing on white mystery comments. hmmmm your completely anonymous internet integrity is being questioned friendolo.

[d4nknugz024]

great song, great pictures...so thats a great video

[b0gzie]

like this if you are amazed that your sound card survived the brilliance of this track.

[Sporeadam]

I like how this song transitions to knights

[lild432]

the beginning always reminds me of donkey kong when he's in the ice caves lol

[swiftdeath782]

I used to not like these guys because they consisted of the ex-guitarists from a mathcore band called Botch.. But I never really gave these guys a chance and the intricate guitar work from Botch is in here and I love it <3

[Seagerash]

i can't believe ive just discovered minus the bear / planet of ice. Ive been a fan of foals and biffy clyro for years. im 3 years behind everyone else. they're my new favourite band. their guitarist is a genuine innovator

[poopsmash18]

nobody can prevail over minus the bear

[CannibalxXxcody]

this song is so trippy it is my new shit

[mrfudgeyhead]

This might seem a little weird, but when I spank my turtle, I play this song.

A little weird, but entirely justified, obviously.

[CristinaMatos05]

First time listening to this band, an dI have repeated this song a several times. I'm in love!

[muraenah3l3na]

Oh this song is fucking beautiful.

[DarkyDiZZ]

This track is amazing.

[VexedSamith]

im smoking weed to this song as im typing this comment. EUPHORIA♥

[orgazmoDarthballs]

@VexedSamith Im jealous xD

[alifewithoutsolace]

@VexedSamith you're not cool.

[TheSadAmerican]

I feel deep gratitude to the South American traveler who included THIS "Minus the Bear" track on the online radio rotation for their blog. I'm from the Green Northwest and this Seattle group joins Thievery Corp. and Pacha Massive on my must-listen list to reset my soul.

[VexedSamith]

@TheSadAmerican  k you're weird. bye

[Exhalted]

@VexedSamith Not too weird, just a music lover.

[dopebabesz213]

SHES GONE cross the border man !!!!

:)

she's an immigrant ♥ woohooo!

[elpavini]

ur so great i'm from costa rica, and i want to see u one day!!!!!

[krisirie]

@elpavini ur so great i'm from manila, and i want to see u one day!!!!!

[nightman117]

I love this song... the mood changes so sudden... its is awesome,

[xheartinhandx]

you guys are retarded, theres a guiar playing a line of single notes, a guitar playing higher chords, a keyboard line a xylaphone, a bass line and drums

[ThuperThtuff]

This song is dedicated to the exboyfriend from Tennessee who dumped me and kicked me out of our apartment, I moved the 1600 miles back to where I'd been from before moving for him. He's trying to mess up my life still...after seven months. My friends in Tennessee dedicated it to him/me....the ones I'd had to leave because of him.

[chinaXcatXsunflower]

@ThuperThtuff Shut up.

[ThuperThtuff]

@chinaXcatXsunflower Why shut up? I'm saying why this song has special meaning for me. From friends who care about me...what does that matter to you? Was it was REALLY important enough for you to go out of your way to reply to me?

[PL4Y3RPL4Y3R]

@ThuperThtuff no dont shut up, i saw your latest vlog and nobody should have to go through what you went through

[ThuperThtuff]

@PL4Y3RPL4Y3R Thank you, at least you took the time to find out if there was more to my comment before deciding I'm stupid lol

[MrJoerangel2121]

even without lyrics this song is incredible

[locotacos]

This is probably my favourite song.

[skippydoll]

sooo minus the bear is my boyfriend's fav band. so i got concert tickets to go see them. and i've been here on youtube listening to their music and it all sounds the same to me.... kinda boring and annoying* (MY OPINION). i don't wanna be mean tho and say "sooo let's not go anymore" or tell him to find someone else! :( I think I just screwed myself over.

[shortmansrq]

@skippydoll You may want to get your medical condition checked out, Because theres got to be something wrong if you dont like these guys.

I dont really see them as boring at all, pretty intricate songs with good vibes, My opinion at least.

[Leacd189]

@skippydoll I'd go anyway. concerts are fun even if you don't like the artist that much, and who knows you might end up liking them more if you see them live!

[skippydoll]

@Leacd189 That is true. I guess I can always just drink enough to like them if I don't like them when I get there.

[Leacd189]

@skippydoll haha now that is a plan!!

[PL4Y3RPL4Y3R]

@skippydoll i think you have absolutely zero taste if you think all the songs sound the same

[jordanpartv]

love it. mtb is the best.

[kendraSur]

I love it...

[7hrice]

over 100,000 posts bro

[000surfin]

yerp person below is right people jus wanna hear a sick beat but if u actually hear wat the songs about its better than u think

[UnicornMeat93]

immediate mood lifter

[machinegunfunkify]

they aren't bigger because the majority of people just hear music they don't actually listen

[arpraron]

@machinegunfunkify I've never heard anything truer than this statement.

[myownfreeworld]

never gonna see her again...

[Maria112169]

they manage to convey emotions I've never felt so strongly through music. simply amazing.

[deejour]

Love driving on sunday afternoons, stoned listening to some MTB......nothing like it :)

[trickboyd]

man, thats what I did all day today. Nice space cruz throughout the countryside with MTB and bowl after blunt after bowl.

[TheRealEzzy]

Probably one of the best songs i've ever heard. Why aren't they bigger!?

[Futil1ty]

If this is one of the best songs you've ever heard, you're missing out on a world of music. These guys are cool, but there songs often go in odd directions, which is probably what is harboring them from fame.

[TheRealEzzy]

@Futil1ty Yeah I totally get what your saying. I think it's one of the best ( to me ) out of like my 40 favorite songs lol. But I listened to their other songs and i agree with you completely. Their other songs are really really different. Actually every song is pretty much different.

[AdeleJacotey]

Just saved me from Exam Hysterics....

[WailingBubbles]

im so faded to this song right now.

[TheMelpeezy]

Amazing.

[hkjbdolphins]

@berrycinnamon so true it makes you feel so mellow like you have nothing to worry about :D

[berrycinnamon]

this song makes me feel like im driving on a road near the ocean

so chill:)

[therockdude94]

So Peaceful and Relaxing :) This Band Is Awesome

[torixmachen]

haha his reminds me of J. R. Celski =]

[mynmyself]

such a nice band... they remember me of this summer vacation... nice times, nice weather, nice people, nice memories... i suppose music is all about that

[asdqweyxcify]

kinda a nice rock! but wintersleep are kings.

[Swiftlygothedays]

Minus the Bear equals awesome. It's simple math.

[rioneshusband08]

@Swiftlygothedays very cool lol

[j357910]

times 5

[yubbone]

unlike almost every other band, these guys have fucking zero bad songs

[coughfilmsco]

@Swiftlygothedays actually, minus the bear are greater than or equalt to awesome.

[Swiftlygothedays]

@coughfilmsco

I bow down to your math skillz. 

[BurntF3aceMan]

@Swiftlygothedays

I think you mean simple meth

[Nollie2Melon]

Minus the Bear = a big =D

[MamaKRamsey]

Musicians and their comments make me smile.

[jenke85]

Fuck the rest. Minus the Bear!

[Wolfin44]

SOO EXCITED seeing them in 2 days

[SkateMentallity]

how were they? =)

[jaksplitter]

How was the show?

[MrPibbs100]

love this bans and they sounds like...experimental music is way cool..

[Circafade777]

if everyone likes this, check out my picture film for the song "in time" by consider the thief.

[hewhoneverfails123]

is that a bass at the beginning?

[Rsonist88]

It sounds like 2 guitars to me. But the lower one might be a bass. It just sounds a little too twangy to me to be a bass.

[EKCxVaNiTY]

they have a singer, a drummer, a lead guitarist, a rhythm and a bass guitarist.

[sipasabayag]

@EKCxVaNiTY they also have Alex Rose on keyboards.

[EKCxVaNiTY]

yeah i tried to say that not een kidding but it said my commenting limit was exceeded or some bullshit like that.

[thekidwithdog]

bass plays the root note in the arpegio but i think thats all

[LiamBarret1991]

if he is just playing the root note its not a arpeggio then?

[thekidwithdog]

well he plays what the root of what the guitars arpeggio is :P

quit being a nit pick you understood what i meant

[xXMelquisXx]

well intro is two guitars and then tthe bass so like guitars are horminizing

[MassiveStarfish]

@Rsonist88 I'm pretty sure it's a bass and a guitar at the same time.

[wesabibean]

@Rsonist88 ... the beginning is the regular band composition; Keyboard, Bass, & Guitar (beginning and only one of each) + the vocals and drums of course

[jfitz1431]

@Rsonist88 it's definitely not a bass ha. the bass comes in at the chorus i believe.

[LuckyLuciden]

nope its just one guitar

[camel04]

@Rsonist88 its guitar.

[spyke13kime]

@Rsonist88 its the guitar that plays first and the bass but the reverb is the guitar which come in with the second guitar

[ETHANIOSAURUS]

@Rsonist88 2? It sounds like one to me. Not too hard to get that sound right on one guitar.

[alifewithoutsolace]

@Rsonist88 twangy ^_^

[Samus5164]

@Rsonist88 Depends on how you're playing it. Play with a pick on the right bass and you've got a nice telecaster-esque twang.

[Bullpen7]

That is either two guitars or one guitar and a bass utilizing the mid-high range.

[EKCxVaNiTY]

no the intro is done on one standard tuned guitar. However it sounds like some kind of echo of it because of the delay effect they added.

[CrabSarcasm]

Nah that's a guitar

A bass couldn't have that tone so high up the neck

[Debiru20x]

@hewhoneverfails123 Well it's actually three. The bass throws a simple version of that repeating riff. While the two guitars play a sort of echoing piece together. Pretty common for MtB. Kinda surprising there's not more guitar play with Dave Knudson. If ya ever see him on stage you'll be blown by the amount of pedals he has.

[CptnMarc]

@hewhoneverfails123 well in the band there are 2 guitarists and 1 bassist so. . . u come to the conclusion

[Aphexslim]

@hewhoneverfails123

it's a kick.

[ningilly]

@hewhoneverfails123 no its 2 guitars in the beginning, then the bass comes in with the drums. if you listen to it with headphones, you can hear the guitars are panned in each ear, and the bass is not

[kuagasourus]

@hewhoneverfails123 no, its two guitars,
