hum - Comin' home official video

[vkotis]

another great band from the 90's that has vanished. it saddens me

[champdog1]

Super underrated band... Too bad they sold out to Cadillac.

[methsor]

@champdog1 I agree, but so did Zeppelin so at least they are in good company :/

[maphors]

greatest album of any band at any time

[gatormassarce]

if god listened to music, his favorite band would be HUM

[rayramis22]

saw em at millenium park in May, it was a free show

[nirvana6daniel]

@rayramis22 Hey ray funny seeing you here lol

[rayramis22]

@nirvana6daniel ha HUM is awesome

[micahlsmith]

I miss hum. They kicked ass.

[EndlessCreatives]

The drum part is an amazing workout.

[agricola]

hum was from champaign urbana

[daylightghost2009]

Never really understood the whole "bill gates" look from Matt. :)

[vicmal2112]

@daylightghost2009 What kinda look are you looking for? Maybe some fake dreads and cargo shorts?

[daylightghost2009]

@vicmal2112 nothing really, i love the band, just never really understood why he looked like a bill gates's clone.

[conservatory]

I saw them in chicago new years 2008-9 and they were actually in really great form. Looked good and really nailed the songs. It was weird, after seeing that performance, why they wouldn't want to try and continue on. Ah well...

[hagendf]

@conservatory I missed that one, as well as their Furnace Fest reunion. That won't happen again when they come out to Millennium Park in a couple weeks!

[diedahero]

They hold secret show's on new's years in chi. at random clubs.

[princesslisarox]

i am so happy to see i am not the only person who knows about this way awesome band - how are they not famous?

[diedahero]

They are. Try to get a ticket when they do their new years secret show. You'll see just how famous they are.

[bkbissett]

so where is Hum from?

[bkbissett]

so where is Hum from? and why is it so hard to find them on limewire?

[Skyrift]

@princesslisarox

I guess the music industry didn't push them. Hum was always very underrated in my opinion.

But you're not the only one who knows about them, not by a long shot. =)

[Metalgazer]

sweetest guitar tones in the land!

[BillyP1984]

Great song!

[robynskywalker]

The beginning kinda reminded me of the Police

[itsthatsebguy93]

i love the sound of the guitar in this song

[fullmetalfunk]

Get a thick sounding pick up, lot's of distortion, and chorus. These guys had some amazing guitar tones.

[darkon666]

learn to read?

[sweetttina666]

According to 120 minutes, this video came to him in a dream.

[KennewickMan00]

HUM's playing a reunion show on new years eve in in Chicago. Also The Life And Times is playing. I would kill to see that show!!!!

[Blacklightroom]

Yeah Alan Epley is genius (from The Life And The Times)...and thx Conservatory...yet again, fer fillin' up my favs more :)

Wheres it at...cause im in chicago...

Id pay $150 even tho im poor...just to see this all go down..Ah Shiner, and its still greatness what it turned to be now too...!!!

cheers, joe

[lasenggoallstars]

nah...i think we should leave them alone...classics should stay as classics....HUM---THE BEST

[braddavery]

These guys REALLY need to get back together... can we start a petition or something???

[robynskywalker]

Thing is, when really awesome bands reunite they usually aren't as good. It's a sorry fact of life. I prefer them being a classic.

[seagaur]

it is very hard to get Hum songs on Limewire, anyone else have this promblem??

[HomebrewMelvin]

Is it really that hard to find Hum albums in a record store?

[alex12423]

@HomebrewMelvin yes they are. a friend of mine randomly found downward is heavenward for 8 bucks in downtown toronto, and i had to order you'd prefer an astronaut from hmv.

[Spacirelei]

@HomebrewMelvin I seem to buy a used copy of you'd prefer and astronaut at least twice a year. (why do I have 4 copies).

[NikkTemplar]

I dislocated three fingers playing along to this song when it first came out.

And all these years later, Downward Is Heavenward STILL floors me.

[lancethrustworthy]

Mighty nice; both the tune and the video. Good stuff!

[bchilian]

The drummer kicks so much fucking ass.

[iamtheaxolotl]

One of my fav bands EVER!!! I wish they would get back together and tour again!

[Xohex]

good song

[instantkarmava]

such a great song,band,album,and reason to drop acid.

[flood612]

they're from the states, but sadly are no longer a band. Probably one of the most underappreciated bands of the early 90s.

[rankcon]

Great VIDEO, even better song! Where are these guys from? Are they American or European?

[n1973s]

Just to let you know, Hum was a 1990s band from Champaign, Ill. Matt Talbott was also in a side band called Honcho Overload, which played at a reunion concert last night here in Champaign. Believe it or not, Honcho Overload may have been just as good as Hum (in my humble opinion!).

[CountStoczkowski]

Centaur is great too. You're lucky to be able to see them play

[regenesisONE]

GLORIUS DORK DIRGE!! 

Fuckin Epic!!

Best Song on the DISC!!

[defensorfortis2009]

does any one know where i can download this song for free? limewire no work for me.

[OfTheWillows]

Try a google blog search for Hum Downward is Heavenward

[ConHumrad]

I've seen em 5 times over the years...NOBODY does it better as far as I"m concerned!

[kris]

I saw Hum live at 1st ave. in MPLS- very cool show- I think this video was made by HARDER FULLER studios out of MPLS- they always reminded me of a more refined version of Poster Children--- a band they were somewhat geographically associated with I believe( I may be wrong but weren't both bands from Champaigne, Illinois?).Downward is Heavenward was by far their best release.

[hungrykillerspoon]

i love hum! they were soo original and hard to point out as a sound but i feel that they shouldnt get back together, not tryin to be an ass im just sayin look at the smashing pumpkins for instance, they were awesome than they got sorta reformed and there new music doesnt compare but on another hand i think seeing how must of todays music sucks hum is probly needed more than ever! i also heard they might be workin on somethin...im not sure go google it or somethin

[bakezale]

One of my all time favs of HUM

[jojo808]

Saw this on 120 minutes or Post modern as a teen and was off to the record shop . Still wear this tape out.

[wackiirahki]

yeah, they were pretty damn good. i loved the dynamics they showed...one minute they would play the softest and prettiest melodies, the next they would crush you completly...

[corm88]

Hum is amazing, 'downward is heavenward' survives repeated listens like no other... Youtube is in desperate need of live videos for "Isle of the Cheetah", "Ms. Lazarus" and "Apollo".

[KevinSheilds]

If ok computer didnt exist Hum would have made the best album of the 90s

[OfTheWillows]

Radiohead doesn't even compare.  OK Computer is by far the worst album of all time.

[jojo808]

True that the 2 bands/albums arent similar. I have both tapes. But in no way in Ok Computer the worst album of all time=I . They are both great records in their own right.

[jojo808]

Hum dont at all sound influenced by RH. How do you come to this conclusion ? This comment reminds me of people who say Dinosaur JR are shoegazer!

[braddavery]

This band NEEDS to get back together...granted they will never be able to top Downward Is Heavenward, but it would still be nice to hear some new shit. I heard one of them (the drummer?) moved to Africa or something for charity work...

[sonofsam70]

Does anybody know what album this is on????

[inflames32927]

downward is heavenward

[sonofsam70]

thanks I just ordered it. I hope I get it soon.

[inflames32927]

enjoy, i have bought it 3 times cause i keep playing it out

[sonofsam70]

I did buy two copies of You'd prefer an austronaut. I know what you mean.

[EmbassyRow37]

Four times for me.

[datalorez]

Yeah. i'm on my 3rd copy.

I've since bought an Ipod so I keep my discs tucked away safe and sound. But this album got used and abuse a few times over. I think it stayed in my car for about 3 months at one point.

[JASONC80]

This is one of my fav albums of all time this is very underated band

[smallclone]

this IS my all time fav albums, ten years rockin!

[spodonn]

Downward was easily their best album, what a great band that was way too short lived.

[InvisibleTeeth]

if anyone has every questioned Matt Talbott's vision aside from the projects he's played in...go listen to /hopesfall's "The Satellite Years"...it has HUM plastered all over it and was produced by Talbott. Almost like what could've been if they didn't call it quits after Downward is Heavenward...

At least they quit after their best album and not a series of repeatedly weak offerings. Still wish they'd stuck around longer as it seems they were only getting better.

[dellanewch]

Um, greatness is HUM... i stil cant get over what I was told, They called it quits secondARY to the van breaking down...

[firman76imation]

brilliant

[prawler2005]

after listening to HUM decades ago, i still would prefer to be an astronaut if you know what i mean. cool.

[smallclone]

hmmmmm astronaut fan......

[pitubaby76]

HUM'S music is so amazing that it could make GOD feel alone........

[Buddhist2k]

BEST BAND THAT EVER EXISTED... Saw them when they toured with BUSH. after they played i left... HUM WAS THE DEAL!!!

[Necronom45]

hum eats bush for breakfast with there eyes closed underwater in their sleep uphill,both ways :)

[livealienbroadcast]

i think these guys are one of the best bands ive ever heard...

[ModernMan2006]

I posted a video of Hum on stage playing Coming Home So check out my profile to watch it.

[philozine]

Hum rocks my dick off!

[dereka]

hum=amazing

[deadredeyes]

Zenko, you're a fucking idiot, do us a favor and don't waste your breath dumbass ... oh and there were TONS of people at their reunion concerts .. you'd know that if you were there fucktard.

Thanks for posting this video, haven't seen it in years!!

[zenkoansdispatch]

Lamest band ever. All thirteen people who liked them are apparently still around, trying to make us care. So lame they had TWO "reunion" concerts that no one went to. Their favorite pastime when they were together was to talk smack about basically everyone including other bands and their own fans. They cashed their check years ago and gratefully went away for good. Nothing any of them have done since they broke up has mattered. The suckiest.

[commercep]

Zenko is an idiot of the highest caliber. I saw Hum in 92, they are the reason I have tinnitus. They were the loudest band I've ever seen, and one of the best. Tim Lash is a guitar god. I'd like to see Stephen Carpenter from the Deftones do some work with Tim Lash.

[explicating]

Charlie,

you're so full of crap!

[Necronom45]

IDIOT...if you knew anything about music you would hear their talent,it SCREAMS at you...either your deaf or a brittney fan :P

[Foxtick]

I love "Downward is Heavenward"...it's gotta be one of my top 5 fave albums.

[wurlybird9]

oh man

i never really appreciated this album until i listened to it again today, drenched in the hot sun, eyes closed, with a pair of etymotic earbuds....

the sound was right inside my head WOW

[jaketheman091]

Its been a very long time since I've listened to these guys...lol Matt would look cooler if he wore no glasses or if he wore red, cyclops style glasses. lol
