I agree with the top two comments. It's so cool to be able to play your fav songs. I encourage anybody to pick up a guitar and try to learn how to play it. Believe me, it's not as half hard as you think it is. The feeling you'll get while playing a x number of songs, not matter what tat number is, it will make the effort well worth it.. And yes, Post rock riffs are very easy to learn
Also, anyone saying 'this is really easy to play' is missing the point. All of these guys are fucking amazing musicians, their tremolo technique is exemplary, and I'm sure they can 'shred' as well as anyone. But instead of wanking their guitars they choose to write beautiful symphonies of sound, and for that I am truly thankful. If you can do better, PLEASE do, cos I would bloody love it.
saw them the other night in boston. when it got to the searing lead line near the end they turned on all the lights in the theatre. I watched a few thousand people in complete bliss. Possibly the most alive I've ever felt.
I don't mean to compare, but this song/band has really grown on me over time. I started listening to mostly "This Will Destroy You" which I really enjoyed. But there's a lot of depth to this band which has surfaced from many listens. Enjoyable!
Hahaha, just kidding. I love this band. I just saw them last Friday and it was AMAZING! So much power in their songs. YouTube -or even their CD!- does NOT do it justice. See them live and you'll shit your pants from happiness (can that happen?!)!!!!!
post rock is very creative music.. saying that it is simple is insane. just because they aren't doing sweep arpeggios don't mean it inst difficult. they spend hours creating the textures they get from effects and diff playing techniques.
When I find songs like this on youtube and I look at the comments, and the first few words indicate an argument, I just ignore the fact that there are comments and concentrate on the video. there is ALWAYS gonna be dicks that want to cause a ruckus so I just ignore them. Because some clown says a song is crap isn't going to make me go "you know what? YEAH!" no, quite the opposite :) EITS :)
"At such moments I always remember a forged painting I once saw. In a museum in Amsterdam: Van Gogh. A fascinating art work. Each violent brushstroke was reproduced with painstaking, non-violent care. The forgery must have taken many many times longer than the original to complete. It was technically better than the original. And yet something was missing. Not much, but something. And that small something may as well have been everything."
i love when the build comes to a head and they go full rhythm and the melody is iffy and to make something so dissonant into something amazing like the first time somebody realized they could make mud bricks or some shit and everybody has that moment of what the fuck in there lives and that melody makes up for all the shit in your life
@2un7zu Somebody close to me asked if I had ever heard of them, so I thought it might be good. I was wrong. Trolling is funny as f*ck though... Thanks for not feeding me; I need to go on a diet at this point.
Hi I'm an artist that loves to mix different kinds of genres together. I home record and would love for you to hear my songs. They are something different and exceptionally calming.
I really dig this tune. A guitarist doesn't have to be Yngwie Malmsteen to convey emotion. Why don't these critics acknowledge that simplicity is often the best way of getting the message across. BB King plays, like, 14 notes in a song. Tell me he doesn't make them count. Tell me he doesn't make Lucille TALK! also...stop mentioning Beiber. He is irrelevent .
If only all of us could see minimalism as true art as well. Just because someone else can easily play it, or the song or pieces itself can be easily played, doesn't mean it will be played with the same feeling as the creator, in this case Explosions in the Sky. Sure, each part is relatively simple, but set upon one another, to create a barrier, a wall, of sound that becomes so complex with emotion it fills each crevice of your soul with feeling. Yeah, that's a fucking gift.
@UnitedMusiciansInc completely agree. when music transcends the audio, into visceral attack into the soul, there is no better response than an emotional upturn.
art is subjective. example...some people really love minimalist artists...while others dont like it all. Usually people dont like things that they dont understand. and out of ignorance lash out that it is crap...that no one should like it....that everyone that likes it is stupid. when in reality. Its the insecurity of not understanding. You dont have to like this music. Im sure there are things that you like....that other people dont like.
Have you tried playing post-rock? From the looks of it you have not. Seriously, shut the fuck up dude if you have nothing good to say about this genre of music. In my opinion, the simplicity that is post-rock equals beauty. It shows that we ourselves can reach a musical euphoria without playing some complicated composition. It's not what can you play, but what you feel in the music that counts.
@idiotfiles Your opinion is incorrect. I've played better crap wasted at 3:00am. Any dumb kid can make this noise with a Mexican strat. and a delay pedal. Go listen to some jam-bands f*cking fan boy.
Oh? Any sad excuse for an adult can do the same thing with any other guitar as long as the pickups aren't shot to shit. Please if you will, how is my opinion incorrect? Why don't you make an unlisted video of yourself wasted at three in the morning playing the guitar and post it here. I'll gladly watch it. Trolling.
@idiotfiles I would put up a vid, but You Tube would remove it due to content; I'd be naked. And masturbating (on the guitar to re-create this crappy music).
@Babynutria if you could you would put up a video of you fist fucking baby nutrias while eating your own shit and jerking off all at the same time. so that comment doesn't mean anything, it just shows how fucking retarded (and creepy) you are.
@idiotfiles It's dull people music. It is boring in the truest sense of the term. Kudos to them though, they got a shitload of fanboys and all they had to do was phone it in.
@idiotfiles Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. Antoine de Saint-Exupery French writer (1900 - 1944)
@idiotfiles Well said dude. I mean, I listen to alot of Progressive rock and that's about a musically complex as you can get, but this stuff is just as musically satisfying to my ear and isn't boring at all.
@Babynutria hahhaha mate you're a massive cunt. Go listen to pop punk you prick or some other generic shit. I'd fucking love to see your band if your in one? hhaa
@Babynutria when i discovered post rock it totally changed my musical outlook, maybe your just too narrow minded to realise the true beauty of this music. go listen to justin beiber or some shit that you thinks good you prick.
@Babynutria mate you obviously haven't evolved musically enough to understand music such as this! and before you spew some shit about how i should go listen to a jam band, i'm a fan of jambands and progbands, and im a fan of post rock so shut the fuck up! plus the stuff that EiTS write is way more complicated, harmonically, then anything a jam band does since all you do in a jam band is pick a key and a time signature and JAM! improve is piss easy compared to composition!
@Babynutria "This shit requires no skill", you say. That one sentence really reflects perfectly how you look at music. You think it's some kind of skill or something? It's really sad that you can't enjoy music for what it really is: something you not only hear, but also feel. Personally, I don't like music like heavy metal (other people might and I respect that) where there is much display of skill but I don't feel much... You'll see what we mean someday (I hope so for your sake)
@Babynutria Dude. You need to see past the material parts of music (Technique, skill required) and see music for what it really is. Emotion, soul, feeling. You may not like it, and that's fine. I can understand why you wouldn't. Some people just aren't chill enough to listen to such long compositions. But you need to learn how to respect the immense amount of work these guys put into their songs. This takes so much rehearsal to get timing right you wouldn't even understand..
@AmbientMW (Had to pause the song so I wouldn't fall asleep during typing) Technique and skill are required in music to convey emotion, soul and feeling. Maybe these guys rehearse until their cabinets slip into R.E.M. The fact is, this band's "music" is slow, boring and pretentious.
@KidASquared It isn't a Musicman it's an Ibanez unfortunately I'm not sure what model, pretty sure it was discontinued. Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine used one for a while, so did the guy from the offspring i think, he has a signature model based on it you should have a look into that.

Brilliant, just fab. These guys really are making proper real music. Enjoyed the video, thanks. Would have liked to have seen more of the drummer through it though as he should have been taking the stage. Much more interesting to see the drummer play than the guitarists.
@eclipse720 Go see them live. You wont regret it! It was an incredible show. They pretty much just say hello and play their set straight though. Its an incredible experience, dont miss out.
@eclipse720 I don't mean to oversell it but their live performance is the best thing I've ever seen. When they played Lollapalooza in 2008 it was one of the greatest moments of my life. I've seen them three times and they're always great.
this song is like sex, you want them to finish the buildup but at the same time you want them to keep going with it cause you know it will be a more intence explosion!
Very good. Really enjoyed watching this and really just taking the time to listen carefully. I just hope that some of the audience would just accept the experience and not just shout every now and again, 'Woooooooo!' ... They just sound like they're at the wrong gig.
@IAmSmokingDank That's retarded, you're an asshole. No one cares, punch dudes like me in the face, and I will punch you right now, a few times harder. I, too, punch dudes like you in the face.
This is intense, yes, no doubt, I love it. Nevertheless, saying that music needs no vox at all is a bit...well, i don't know. everytime i listen to helmet and strap it on i doubt that very much. there is more than just one approach to create intensity, in my eyes.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you people are insane, go smoke some more pot, experimental music, big deal, this is a joke.There is nothing new or unique about this, people have been doing it in their garages since the electric was invented, do yourself a favor, get some guitars, and a big amp, and some feedback, and go have some fun.There is no drama here, or even better listen to the velvet underground, or learn music, listen to blues and jazz.

explosions in the sky fans should look up "while the city sleeps, title track", similar big and spacy soundscapes.

@eclipse720 Go see them live. You wont regret it! It was an incredible show. They pretty much just say hello and play their set straight though. Its an incredible experience, dont miss out.

@eclipse720 I don't mean to oversell it but their live performance is the best thing I've ever seen. When they played Lollapalooza in 2008 it was one of the greatest moments of my life. I've seen them three times and they're always great.

this song is like sex, you want them to finish the buildup but at the same time you want them to keep going with it cause you know it will be a more intence explosion!

I like how they use 3 guitars... Not very common, though not unheard of.
bluetoaster8822 1 year ago
@bluetoaster8822 I think it's cooler how they have 3 guitars AND 1 guy alternates between guitar and bass when needed.

Very good. Really enjoyed watching this and really just taking the time to listen carefully. I just hope that some of the audience would just accept the experience and not just shout every now and again, 'Woooooooo!' ... They just sound like they're at the wrong gig.

This is intense, yes, no doubt, I love it. Nevertheless, saying that music needs no vox at all is a bit...well, i don't know. everytime i listen to helmet and strap it on i doubt that very much. there is more than just one approach to create intensity, in my eyes.

you people are insane, go smoke some more pot, experimental music, big deal, this is a joke.There is nothing new or unique about this, people have been doing it in their garages since the electric was invented, do yourself a favor, get some guitars, and a big amp, and some feedback, and go have some fun.There is no drama here, or even better listen to the velvet underground, or learn music, listen to blues and jazz.
