Melt Banana - Chain-Shot to Have Some Fun

[SooaringEagle]

saw these guys in CT the other day. It was fucking incredible.

[salutetojaco]

In the past hour, I discovered this band, found out that they're playing in my home town on halloween night, and bought tickets. I can't wait!

[videochemist]

@salutetojaco Best... Halloween... ever. Enjoy!

[waseldo]

@salutetojaco whish i was you



[jizzy2k]

How old are they?

[FedorfaN79]

Saw these guys open for TOOL. Guitarist is a beast

[xPsuedo]

there are alot of girl bassist out there, but rika is my favorite.

[cazmo222]

love the crowd in this video - fuck fighting eachother, it's all about dancing.

[ShitCrap]

I always wonder why some band would not want free publicity by people recording the show and sharing it.

[Ombrenuit]

@ShitCrap Bands don't care. It's the label's lawyers who flip out about that stuff.

[xHetKutx]

Amazing song, it's like my ears are melting off my head! And i love it!

[11joshman]

MY EARS HURT AND I LIKE IT

[drplbiftin]

can't wait to see them in Nottingham in 3 days time.

[videochemist]

@drplbiftin

I literally just saw them 30 minutes ago here in Brighton. Very strange thing happened. Agata personally confiscated my camera then gave it back to me at the end...

[drplbiftin]

@videochemist wow, weird. Was the show good?

[audioviruses]

@videochemist

i was there too.amazing gig

[thelieinking]

@videochemist I was there! Incredible gig. So you didn't get any footage? :(

[videochemist]

@thelieinking

I got the first part with the head torches before the main stage lights came on... Then Agata struck. I'm going to upload those few minutes of footage along with a personal message to Agata I'm working on. I'm still quite bummed he would do such a thing.

[thelieinking]

@videochemist Damn! I saw they had "No Pictures, No Videos" signs up, but I didn't think they'd enforce it. Looking forward to seeing the MB Lite footage, nice one man.

[killthedonkey540]

@videochemist Did you ever upload the head torches footage? I can't seem to find it anywhere and I need additional assurance that I'm not just blind.

[SeagullTheFreegull]

@killthedonkey540 haha fuck when they turn out the lights and just flash everyone? that's how you get a show fucking ready!! i would trade at least a few toes to see them again.

[GrunGrauWeiss]

@videochemist really? holy shit.

you sure it was him? I mean, with the mask and all... :)

[videochemist]

@GrunGrauWeiss

Yeah, I spoke to him briefly at the end and everything when he gave it back. He snapped my camera wrist strap and everything. It wasn't malicious, just enforcing some misguided policy he has. (and i still didnt upload the evidence yet! - no internet at home for a few months now...)

[GrunGrauWeiss]

@videochemist well, I guess they have every right to do that if they wish.

But by the same principle I have every right to call them a bunch of assholes for doing so, and I'm excercising that right now.

I'm just disappointed cos at first I thought you were going to say '...when I checked the tape it was full of agata's genitals!'

[videochemist]

@GrunGrauWeiss

haha, actually, after the incident, while watching the rest of the gig, I was praying that he accidentally left the camera rolling and placed the camera in a position to capture some interesting angles... but god didn't answer.

[RootDown18]

Damn. This band kicks ass!

[fuckindork]

fuckin excellence



[TheRacistsMustDie]

While most guys have lustful dreams about chicks, I dream of music made by Yasuko O, Kira Roessler and Poison Ivy.

Btw, if anybody has the newsletter to Melt-Banana, when did you get the last one, I've got some problems enrolling and I don't know for sure if I succeeded (I already know what the error is but just to be sure).

[TheDeathOfChaos]

I listen to Melt Banana and the inside of my ears feel warm before the song is halfway over. Freaky, right?

[videochemist]

@TheDeathOfChaos

That sounds serious. Maybe you should go see a doctor.

Although I would diagnose you with a severe case of good taste in music! It is highly contagious and most definitely terminal.

[TheDeathOfChaos]

@videochemist I'll die happy :)

[Aisukurimuaisukurimu]

@videochemist @videochemist Although I agree with your diagnosis, I find that Good Taste In Music is anything but contagious--so far, I've encountered nothing but isolated incidents.

Regardless, this song\video\recording rocks pretty hard.

[truxibk]

@TheDeathOfChaos don't worry, you cannot heal it ,-)

[Shimbo069]

The singer is cute and she kicks major ass. Not too many people here in Houston Texas know them? I wish someone would put out a live Dvd of them. Can anyone hook me up with a dvd copy?

[RappoldXJay]

amazing what kind of control agata has over his FX pedals. best "noise" guitarist ever imo.

[randolph1977]

this is some of the best footage ive seen, great job recording!!! cant wait to see them next month!

[NeoDjang]

I salute you, random tall guy with camcorder. This is good footage.

I seen them on this tour, in Hull on 14th. It was AMAZING!

[videochemist]

they do indeed put on an amazing show.

it could have been a much more steady video if i had shot it from the side or from the back of the crowd, but for this footage i wanted to capture the frantic nature of their music as viewed from inside the moshing zone.

and i'm 6'2". the whole gig my arms were stretched above my head with the camera's lcd screen aimed downwards. the ache was almost unbearable after just 3 songs, and by the end my muscles were burning with pain.

[NeoDjang]

Nice one. It's better from in the pit, it makes you feel like you're there. That's dedication for you, I'd be scared incase I smashed my camera.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@NeoDjang How much were the tickets. I want to go see them as soon as they come to the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany if it is close to the border so if their tickets are expensive I'd better go save some money.

[NeoDjang]

@TheRacistsMustDie It was about £10 when I went to see them. It tends to be the venue that decides how much to charge for tickets, but I can't imagine them charging much more than that. I got the tickets, the train ride to Hull and overnight accomodation for less than the average stadium rock band would charge for a big arena gig (deffinately worth it).

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@NeoDjang Ok chill, thanks man.

[NeoDjang]

@TheRacistsMustDie No problem mate, always happy to help out. (What makes you think I wasn't chilled before?)

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@NeoDjang XD, sorry didn't mean that. We hear also say chill in the way like cool. So I didn't say 'Ok be easy' 'Ok that's a cool thing to do of you, I like that'. ^-^ always funny to see how the meaning of words can be totally different depending from where you live.

[NeoDjang]

@TheRacistsMustDie Fair enough, haha. :)

[DoctorRobertBobby]

yasuko's sexy. fucking love this band.

[peterjakey]

[inyi]
