Baroness - Best Friends Day 2011 - Partial

[hojima]

why are their amps backwards :(

[HeartlessBastard82]

Whats the second tune they play? Somethin new or a cover? It's rad either way.

[beserker1912]

Dear Baroness, I don't want you to rush the album, But I cant wait............please don't pull a metallica........

[atomicritual]

Too bad with all the slamming and stage diving no one noticed how epic Baroness are! They should all be standing in awe. ;-)

[keaton121]

i wanna play best friends day. that looks like fun!!!

[cangong]

Wow! True haha! it is he of the former long braids and crustpunk patches. thanks for pointing it out. I admit that my prejudice won this time around. i do like baroness, though in this video i hear some stuff i don't recognize, and it kinda sounds like singalong disneyland music. i don't care how musicians look, as long as they dig what they're doing. but i never thought that the beastie boys video for sabotage would make such a lasting impression. talk about looking like a Tarantino reject he.

[cangong]

people today don't even believe in their own bands. these guys change line-ups more than their underwear. sad. that's just detrimental. they still sound great, but what's that dude form nofx or offspring doing on bass haha?! and please, stop the cookie-monster voice, you can sing better than that, we're sure, john. otherwise, pretty great performance! postmodern rock for emo kids? nah, almost, but baroness goes where torche and their ilk fear to tread...or something. i'm too old anyway.

[42themeaningoflife]

@cangong You do realize that that's Summer on bass right? Just in some hipster getup. As for all the people below complaining about said getup, I certainly hope they're not the same crowd who deride mainstream music for being image based.

[beserker1912]

@cangong Most of this post made no sense.

[cangong]

@beserker1912 I know! i did it jokingly and therefore apologize for wasting readers' time (i'm serious)... i will say this, though: it was a response to the other fella, we were talking about the bassist's 'hipsterish' new look. however, it strikes me as very weird that some 'heavy' music is becoming this postmodern beachboyswith distortionandproggysegments thing. then again, i'm too old and stuff like linkin park is beyond my jurisdiction. still not making sense, am i? oh but i am

[beserker1912]

@cangong What doesn't make sense is that you classify Baroness and Linkin Park together. If you want super heavy, go listen to Machine Heads album Unto the Locust or Gojira's The way of all flesh. Those are really good and heavy albums, but baroness is not, nor has ever been that kind of band. Not every band that has the term metal in their genre has to be the same. And Summers hipster look, it shouldn't matter, shut the hell up talking about how he dresses and listen to the music. Shit people.

[cangong]

@beserker1912 Are you on crack? lighten up! are you Summer's new clothing designer? surely he met a new lover at a trendy fest, and she/he told him'oh, you'd look great with an '86 scott baio haircut!' and it's off to the barbershop..hey, i'ma baroness fan. read my amazon reviews for both lps- i go by the name 'krautrockfreak'. maybe i'm not really a metal dude. cool heavy, to me, is budge, sabbath, mountain, COC, kylesa. my faves: can, hendrix, thin lizzy, k. vile: is that metal?

[beserker1912]

@cangong I am "lightened up", Im just appalled at all the comments about what Summer decided to wear, when this band isn't about the image. And most of what you're into is cool. Id say Thin Lizzy is more hard rock and not metal though. Mountain as well.

[cangong]

@beserker1912 My friend, i really didn't mean to offend ya! let's make peace. do read my reviews on amazon. there's lotsa stuff you might dig, as well. and seriously: summer can wear whatever he wants. i mean, you're talking to me, a bowie and brian eno fan! it's just that he was always the 'tough' one, wasn´t he? cool.

[evanisgay11]

Who wears short shorts? Summer.

[halvierd]

What the hell happened to Summer? I don't mean to be shallow, but I liked him better as conan the barbarian. And they aren't allowed to wear shorts...that's not metal!!!

[beserker1912]

@halvierd Dimebag

[ErikAllenAwake]

[FloydWylde315]

3:20 a chick dives into a black hole

[cwlberkheij]

I hear some strange lyrics in this (great) song: TAKE MY BALLS AWAY, I SHAVE THEM EVERYDAY!!!!!!. Does anyone hear this too?

[stanmattan]

[ShroomSamich]

[ShroomSamich]

[rrijsdijk]

@cwlberkheij : Ik weet het nog niet..

[cwlberkheij]

@rrijsdijk Gewoon 10 x achter elkaar luisteren, dan valt het "kwartje" vanzelf!

[cwlberkheij]

WOW, this must have been a very HOT party! Especially at Pete"s side of the stage, i just love that guy! Why am i not living in the U.S?! Please come to the Netherlands very soon, with your new songs!

[zolot362]

New album, can not wait for it

[CaptainBoozle]

NEW SONG <3

[sjsurf56]

Summer is no longer in the band

[Marcusbpt49]

@sjsurf56 What the fuck?!?! FUCK NO!! He couldn't have, where did you hear this??

[anomynous1]

@Marcusbpt49 That's definitely Summer in the vid, he's just a hipster now apparently

[MorbidHumanity666]

@anomynous1 I think he was probably getting sick of people thinking he was Conan the barbarian so he chopped off his warrior mane. He remains a badass.

[tresojos]

@anomynous1 i think its his summer outfit

[colonelkermit]

3:20 stage dive lol

[ShroomSamich]

FUCK YEA MAN NEW BARONESS!!!

[davethehostage]

@ShroomSamich GJEKLJGHWEOIGHWEH!

[anomynous1]

Holy shit, summer cut his hair

[atd62092]

did they get a different bass player?

[CristallSkull]

@atd62092 It's the same one, but he cut his hair and gave up his crusty look.

[AJFA88]

Holy tits! 7 min busted a nut laughing.

[BloodAndThunder00]

I would kill to be able to write such killer songs. Can't wait for the new Baroness record.

[ebasss]

Can't wait for a new cd. Such a cool band. I hope these guys get good promo from their management!

[musicbayfans]

Holy crap! New stuff sounds amazing and i'm so glad to finally see a crowd that pumped for Baroness. Back in 2009 no one was even really headbanging at there free Chicago show and i felt like a loner up at the front.

[theholymountain420]

the second song is a new one. they played two brand new ones during that set

[tantaclaus6]

What was the second song they played?

[dbomob]

Also mega bummed I missed this.

[HellhammerMario]

Soooo bummed I had to miss this.

[MoGarbagio]

Haha, I'm pretty sure i was standing right beside you.
