"Insurgentes" - film clip

[uchihaitachi888]

What's the song playing in the background? I can't quite place it.

[pantalaemon]

"They're saying: Look, we're manufacturing this, it's a complete fake. And you're still gonna buy it."

And then they get all up in this shit when they realize that, no, we're not. It's not worth our money so we download it for free.

So they go to congress, bribe a few pigfuckers, and take our rights away.

YAAAAAAY.

[willregnier]

Steven Wilson is a real artist. Not an entertainer like all those crappy singers playing on the radio. Music is art.

[rlevanony]

Very honest of him. It's true, people these days are very disconnected from what being alive and human is about. It's really the most relaxing and simple thing.

[theartofshred]

steven is so fucking smart. I wish he could share his infinite wisdom with me <3

[suyee1]

I'm in love

[JPCO752]

Geronimo Bordone Holy Shit!

[KinkyOnkel32]

Hello everyone. For about six months ago (I think) I saw a fantastic interview with Steven Wilson where he talked about how young people experience their lives as irrelevant because they are aware of the fact that there are 6,5 billion people on Earth - therefore they find it extremely important to be famous. I have literally spent hours looking for it without succes. If anyone in here knows what interview I'm talking about PLEASE tell me - it will be very appreciated!

Steven Wilson is amazing!

[Navan1991]

Interesting.

[Itsoeasyafterall]

Everyone here feeling like hes talking your feelings out? well, he is just speaking the truth of the music industry today.

[dreamskates]

Maybe it's time for another musical revolution. Stop buying the manufactured stuff and find, listen to, buy.....etc, etc.....REAL music.

[Aldoz97LTE]

Steven Wilson..genius.

I love it.

[F1ynner]

If there is a God, he is living on the Earth, disguised in the shape of Steven Wilson.

[hammerslammer66]

2 people doesn't know what music is about

[OmarAbdulJabbar]

@LasseHoileDotCom hi, i wonder what camera did you use for this film? most of it looks very lovely like 8mm or 16mm. thx

[JaskaJunior]

thins small clip in it of itself is a reconciliation for our artistic and personal selves.

[pistache7]

Thanks mate, that is so true.And sad.

[xSLAYER2x]

who the hell disliked this?

[JaskaJunior]

@xSLAYER2x Judges from american idol

[adiostrokes]

Me alegra enconrar músicos así. Arriba Wilson! 

[hAzz2theBeat]

i could listen to steven all day and not get bored

[Jcharly2]

@blasttyrant666 and where is that? :(

pfff, :(

[alazcazeuz]

the howard roark of modern music

[Jcharly2]

where is the film??

i live in mexico, i want to buy it :(

has it been already released?

[Ajepson2]

This movie was AMAZING!! It is so well done and is a great balance of your standard documentary, and the bizarre visuals. If you like SW, you'll love the movie.

[MikeTheGuy00]

Can you still download this documentary?

[nhonho23]

@MikeTheGuy00

No. You can buy it at Burning Shed. It's coming out in about a month.

[MikeTheGuy00]

@nhonho23 OHH!! I thought it came out a month ago rather than a it coming out a month later... my bad.

Thanks for enlightening haha... stupid me.

[pandemichalo92]

I am soo getting this. I love Steven Wilson from the bottom of my heart.

[Freenetnow]

I love PT's music - have almost everything they've done.

But this is why so many people think "prog" (or whatever you want to call them) music is just pretentious.

I really doubt that many pop fans listen to your stuff SW.

[tzouzi]

who can dislike this ideology ? he is amazing, a real inspiration!

[ShiivaWilding]

Preordered with bonus CD :D

[IDontDoDrumCovers]

cant wait for this to come out

[spacealder]

Wise words.

[ANewHuman]

Steven Wilson is the anti-Bieber. When they collide, they annihilate each other.

[YTisMyPlaylist]

@ANewHuman Bieber cant annihilate anything

[thematrixforever]

Justin Bieber disliked this video !

[PorcupineFloyd68]

@thematrixforever How dare you mention that name on a Steven Wilson video.

Don't feed the troll.

The troll is JB.

[thematrixforever]

@PorcupineFloyd68

who else can dislike him but this gay ! btw i luv ur name porcupine floyd <3

[billzan0]

pes ta megale giati kaneis den ta leei....

etsi...

[veryintricated]

funny what he is saying. last time I saw them in San Diego, there was this other band who ended the show called coheed and cambria which I never heard of before and by seeing that everyone was waiting for them to show up after PT ended I just realized these were all younger kids who didn´t quite got who they just had in front of their eyes! I really took of after PT finished. because all do I never herd the other band, i thought to my self, what the fuck can be better than what I just saw!!!

[jdprsaga]

@veryintricated You didn't stay for coheed & cambria?? Great Progressive Rock band.. don't know if better than PT but good tho. That was for sure an Epic Progressive Rock Show (PT and Coheed & cambria) and you missed half of it just because of a pre-conception. shame!!!

[HATECREWrulz123]

@jdprsaga a real shame is the way Coheed fans (generally kids of the "emo" subculture) have been dismissing Porcupine Tree.

[katlillard]

mr wilson is genuis!

[jazzymojoe]

does anyone know when or if this movie is or has come out on DVD??? please let me know... LOVE SW!!!!!

[jazzymojoe]

does anyone know when of if this movie will or has come out on dvd????? please I need it so badly. I love SW!!!!!!

[tistatos]

@jazzymojoe release is 27 september check swhq.co.uk

[HATECREWrulz123]

@jazzymojoe pre-orders have already started. get it before august is finished and you get a free gift as well.

[blah152]

I normally hate it when people fancy themselves as intellectuals, but Steven Wilson is so right it isn't even funny.

I am going to buy this the second i can.

[w1090]

Steven Wilson, your are a genius.

[gerbilisy]

I'd really like to spend an afternoon talking to Steven...

[mmmmfood33]

*clapping* that was pure genius



[SlashRose]

I can NOT wait until this is released. Anything involving Wilson + Hoile can never be bad. Period.

[picajoool]

Where can you watch the whole movie?

[m50fils]

Which type of headphones hes wearing ?

[anantgt6]

Woahh! SW is god!! and Lasse surely knows how to present it to us!

*Hails*

[anantgt6]

Wow! SW is God! and Lasse surely knows how to bring it to us!

Hail!

[khashayar44]

When is this movie going to be released on DVD? I just got Anesthetize the other day through amazon.co.uk and it just blew me away. WOW GREAT JOB LASSE! The most important progressive rock band in the history of music (in my opinion) are: Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and ELP.

[tomnevati]

Where can I buy the DVD? I can't wait to see the full movie.

[Ixwhyzed]

Amen.  ._.

[VentriZ]

word.

[jojo4400garfield]

whats the name of that piano song at the end?

it wasnt on insurgentes was it?

sounds more like sigur rós =)

[FOSroadkill]

@jojo4400garfield it's Lullaby, by Blackfield :)

[arpape2000]

Steven wilson is the initiator and creator of the new quantum rock, he is the best musician in the world enough to listen Insurgentes with good headphones to notice the new trend that I call the quantum rock

[PrisonTorture34]

I think i'm going to give up on waiting for this DVD and just act like the whole movie was this 1:59 clip.(along with the other trailers)

Great stuff man!

[allnightjohnson]

I appreciate the nice respomnses to my earlier comments but I don't think those people got the point. Moneygrubbers in suits who are more interested in selling toothpaste than they are in music pick what gets "out there". Just in my 50 years there have been countless bands that may have dramatically change the face o music that went unheard because the suits couldn't attach a product to them.

[viewerone1]

Totally makes sense. I think this theory could be expanded beyond music engrossing all media, especially movies and politics. Manufactured like cheap furniture, these "products" we are expected to adore simply because the sovereign media gives them attention. Completely fake, but we still buy it. This pisses me off. We really should listen to the "kids in their bedroom" instead.

[AlejoTogo]

He's The ONE!! hehe Genius !!!! Thank you Steven !!!

[greg1553]

I'm sorry if this has been answered but is this documentary ever going to be released on DVD?!?!?!?!??!!

[NikWalls1022]

truer words were never spoken

[BruceBeefcake]

Will they ever release this on dvd? grr want to watch it

[tistatos]

@LasseHoileDotCom When will it be released on DVD?

One of the best moments in my life watching this Film on the premiere

(and getting my Insurgentes Book signed by Steven :D)

[zero716]

This hits home. This is exactly what frustrates me and makes me so sad about today's ""musicians"". Hopefully more people will realize this and bands like Porcupine Tree or Opeth or Between the Buried and me who work so hard to get to where they are today can be recognized, and not scoffed at for their creativity and "not being real music".

[allnightjohnson]

How articulately this gentleman expresses what I believe to be the death of the art of music. American Idol isn't much more than a place for Karaoke singers to become the next wave of lowest common denominator of product pitchmen.

[Fritha71]

@allnightjohnson

Those lowest common denominators have existed since the dawn of popular culture and are obviously part of POPULAR culture. Nevertheless, the art of music has carried on in an unflinching manner and will continue to do so.

These two approaches to music gather to different segments of the human population and since when has music as art been anything but the concern of a minority...those with a real love for the craft and musical expression.

[pgstancil]

@allnightjohnson The good news is that we can always choose not to listen or pay any mind at all.....

[TheSodaCanCreeper]

i want.

[PrisonTorture34]

i think ive been more anxious to see this rather than the new PT album.

dont know why!

hope i get a chance to see it in the U.S. by the end of 2010

[733quiron]

I had the chance to watch Insurgentes film in my country, and I must say that Lassie Hoile made a marvelous job, portraying Steven Wilson's Art, in other words the passion of music, that is an extension of his soul. Let's applaud to both Artists.

S,  u r m h

[zzalybyrd]

Lasse, does the rest of this documentary also have background music?

[zzalybyrd]

I guess the whole doc is full of awesome music

[zzalybyrd]

yeah It's 43553e99.01 from the album Bass Communion III, but both lips of ashes and that track are similar. It's like comparing Drugged with Together We're Stranger.

[NikWalls1022]

Fuckin A* right :) truer words were never spoken

[karziflora]

Steven Wilson I Absolutely ADORE U....& your amazing work!!

[siksik237]

actually what's playing in the background in the beginning is Porcupine Tree's Lips of Ashes (In Absentia), Lullaby just kicks in at the end...anyway, SW is God!

[LasseHoileDotCom]

@siksik237

It's actually a track called "43553e99.01" - Bass Communion !

L

[yes0genesis]

Lasse, do you know when I (from Toronto, Canada) will be able to view a screening of Insurgentes, perhaps at the international Toronto film festival?

[progdrummer160]

@LasseHoileDotCom sounds very much the same though.

[Deadwing1107]

@LasseHoileDotCom Yes, it is Bass Communion! From the album 'III', but he did use it in the intro for Lips Of Ashes...Steven also used sounds from the song 'Nuclear Head of an Angel', from his Unreleased Electronic Music album, in 'Arriving Somewhere But Not Here' (Deadwing)

Hopefully, I will watch this movie on 4/13, at Monterrey, Mexico...It's a city not so poetic and surreal as Mexico City, but still has a couple of very special places, Mr. Lasse

[juankashi]

@LasseHoileDotCom Is that the band that Wilson and Portnoy are in?

[NostalgicProcrast]

@LasseHoileDotCom

What album?

[CreamyBabe07]

who gives a shit steve ?

[JohnyVirgil]

@CreamyBabe07 Well, everyone who gives a shit about music should care. I personally both agree and disagree with the points Steve has been making. I agree what he says here, but I disagree with the attacks he has on the digital age. I don't think he realizes just what it's done for music in general, and him. The digital age with ipods and downloading makes music more accessible and it helps people who are passionate about music get there stuff out there. The IPod and Download era will save music

[xlicix]

@JohnyVirgil If you watch the whole documentary, you'll see he's not completely against the digital era. He knows what it has done for music and hm and he mentions it.

[JohnyVirgil]

@xlicix Oh, awesome! How did you see the whole thing? Or, well, where can I watch the whole thing? ;-) I watched this and the extract on the Insurgentes 5.1 CD. To my knowledge the DVD documentary in full wasn't released, I'd love to watch it.

[xlicix]

@JohnyVirgil There was a screening of the documentary in Monterrey, México, where I live (: I bought the CD+DVDA and it did not include the extract of the documentary, I guess they sell a different version of the album in México and the US

[Progenaattori]

@xlicix youre right and so is Wilson, digital era of music is not bad thing at all, but in an interview about iPods and destroying them he said something like "its not wrong listening to compressed music from mp3 players but it has become too easy to close yourself into your own little bubble". its like S. L. Jackson said in snakes on the plane, enough is enough.

[nitarudi]

Hear, hear. Not many people have the guts to acknowledge this openly.

[FeedDogPunx]

damn, Steven Wilson is the man...we're a punk band, but we agree with alot of the things SW has to say about the music industry...he's a genius on many different levels

[Tomodo]

Interesting points, I probably would of agreed with him 100% not long ago. However I've opened my mind to pop music recently, and have learnt that good music is good music, whether it comes from Porcupine Tree or from a great singer on American Idol or X Factor. I can enjoy both. I cant really dismiss music now purely on the basis of where and what basis it came from.

[Junansou]

Great, I can't wait to buy this movie!

[And0hlajni]

Come on, Shallow? My vote goes to Fear Of A Blank Planet. Pretty awesome song with a strong message.

[ProgDogMan]

I believe exactly what steven does... we are living in a manufactured musical world where creativity and ambition is sneered at

[saul1928]

I agree completely with him

[je53730743]

What's the name of the song that he plays on the piano, I've heard that tune before but don't rememeber the name. Can anyone help me out??

[dinkum93]

If you're talking about the part at the end, that's Blackfield - Lullaby.

[BatmanSnowcone]

@je53730743 it's Lullaby off of the first Blackfield.

[ProgDogMan]

@je53730743 - that is called 'Lullaby' by Blackfield- the debut album

[Jack3l]

blackfield - lullaby, i guess :)

[RandomNameLOLOLOL]

Lullaby from Blackfield

[GreenleafStudios]

What an interesting and insightful observation about the status quo in music. It's both striking to realize the level to which we seem to have reduced ourselves, and inspiring to wake up to that reality so that it can begin to be altered.

[Icrosver]

SW he´s the Man

[4449steam]

So great, Lasse!

[SeanFlaharty]

That is exactly what I think as well. I would say that the majority of the music I listen to has been from word of mouth and not from any TV show, radio or video. Good music doesn't always equate to popularity.

[pwnisher]

great philosophy!

[pollin]

Yes

[DWDrummerJon151]

He is a genius

I feel there will be much controversy over this though

[MistahhB]

Why should there be? it's only the truth.

[Astrolopitekos]

any idea when is the documentary going to be out on DVD? :D

[vafthrutnir]

@Astrolopitekos "We should have some news about a late 2010 DVD release of the film soon - in the meantime it continues to play at selected international film festivals."
