Portishead - Machine Gun (Live on Jools Holland)

[phrlp]

a little faster

[TheSilverDubberII]

The bollox!!!

[bittercokejjang]

love it

[talkingbeatlehead]

What is he hitting at 0:11 ?

[0wsleysacid]

@talkingbeatlehead Your eardrums.

[themuderjunkie]

@talkingbeatlehead drum machine/pad.

[talkingbeatlehead]

@themuderjunkie got any information about them?

[themuderjunkie]

@talkingbeatlehead Just google drum machine or drum pad dude, alot of results will come up, I don't know much about them, mostly just the name and how they work.

[sirholes]

Never heard this before today, but anyway, this one is truly raw and brilliant to my ear.

[MrCreep44]

Metro: Last Light

[0wsleysacid]

I came here bercause I thought it was a Jimi Hendrix cover....

Kinda dissapointing.

[sodiumoxybate]

@0wsleysacid :-) silly you! I think they're both brilliant....

[sLAUGHTER115]

@0wsleysacid

lol must've been a shock.

[0wsleysacid]

@sLAUGHTER115 Unfortunately not.

[Gellis2009]

I can understand why some people would dislike this which just makes me feel so much happier that I do. Take everything I can get from life and being open for music a good thing

[Scatterbrain191]

I don't get the Metro reference. But I'm assuming it had something to do with their concerts or live shows? Anyway, brilliant song.

[oblivionoflight]

@Scatterbrain191 uhhh noo it's a game, an epic game actually, oh, and this itself is an epic song too

[batavianism]

I THINK I TRAVELLED THRU PORTISHEAD... WEST CUNTRY HILLBILLIES.. IT REMINDD ME SO MUCH OF HOME...

[kelloneill]

It's so sci-fi.......I keep having a vague memory of a show I watched as a kid in the 80's that had massive three-legged beings/machines in it and the ending of this song sounds like it......can anyone shed some light on what that could be? It's awakening something in my subconcious......Portishead are so cinematic.....

[KillerBill1953]

@kelloneill You probably saw "The Tripods", rip off of "War of the Worlds", the third novel was never serialised because the first two series were cack (imho). I didn't much like the books either. Books I like, I keep, and read them again. "The Tripods" books I read once only and gave them away. Hope that helps.

[r0ise]

sex

[zebulondak]

Beth is everything to me.

[hightimesbruce]

That pulsing bass sound in the background always gets me.

[NUKLEUSBENZ]

Portishead finally in Mexico City tomorrow, Oct 15...

Fucking sweet...

[climber910]

@NUKLEUSBENZ Can't wait, dremas do come true.

[randomtransit]

Beth Gibbons always sounds like she's on the verge of crying when she sings...makes me want to hug her and tell her everything's gonna be okay. :P

[Blueyluvscheese]

I've known Portishead for years, had never even heard of Metro until Metro fans came here. So I checked out the Metro: Last Light trailer myself and was completely blown away by both the game and the effect Portishead's music had on the trailer :)

[AVenged13m]

too fast

[1992December8]

What is Metro Last Light??i know Portishead before that..

[SandalsWithS0cks]

@1992December8 it's a horror-survival FPS game. Check it out, it looks awesome.

[BHVampireLF]

THIS IS MUSIC FOR A WAR GAME!!!

Not the fucking music of the trailers of Gears of War.... YEA!!!

[shit311]

@BHVampireLF yea lets kill ppl on this track man!

[BillieThePurple]

the part from 3:39 till the end always brings Pink Floyd's "welcome to the Machine" to my mind 

[cmorden]

@BillieThePurple reminds me of the Terminator score. in a good way!

[ghosthunter5656]

@cmorden yes it does!!!!!!

[Mcshitlove]

knew this song way before metro last light but fucking hell i was happy wen i saw it on there i love it when they put good music on trailers and it fit so fucking well.

[hektorpike]

@DontEatVodka so fuckin what, its still kicks monkey ass all over the zoo!

[Greycat2000]

This song is great full blast with headphones on :o)

[DezAVL]

whats the lyrics about?? seems dark :/

[CIRCLECIX]

It sounds wierd this fast. not bad, but even wierder than original, which i loved.

[frigidpt4]

Thumbs up if you have watched up only to 0:54 and reckon that was the end of the song

[cubeHead92]

Metro: The Last Light (L)

[OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun]

I came here because I like Portishead, is that wrong?

[MelPullThePin]

@OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun Yes! ...you should 'LOVE' them...not 'like'. :)

[NUKLEUSBENZ]

@PatrickEsdamNielsen Agree, poor kids today, they don`t know shit about good music.

[hektorpike]

fucking lovely noise! reminds me of chewing electricity while try out transvestism for the first time...

[tshhtf]

@hektorpike Sounds like a good time. Reminds me of the first time I put my face down an acid crack pipe, high on violence, whilst listening to my nan's japs eye

[hektorpike]

@tshhtf finally! somebody who gets me!!! my nans japs eye makes a noise not unsimilar to merzbow - lurvely, oozing stuff. try nailing your hand to the speaker while your friend maxes out your amp to some fushitsuha, or any other jap free rock for that matter. frys the head better than any electric chair - thats what made me so clever. errrr........

[tshhtf]

@hektorpike The first day I listened to Japan band Incapacitants I spilled crimes from my headspace. Later I went back for lunch with Gordon Brown and shat manifold into a slow image of his face forever

[tkshots]

brave,to release that as their first single after a long absence...because it's so different...listenin to it now,it's good...better than i thought...

[mcorriette1]

the later part of this song reminds me of Terminator 2.

[TheBioshow]

her voice..is fucking...AWESOME unlike other woman singers..like bieber..wait..bieber is woman??nvm..

[plushmoon02]

they're playing it so fast. probably limited air time



[NUKLEUSBENZ]

Estoy considerando ir a verlos a la presentación del DF, desgraciadamente PORTISHEAD viene a México y es a un puto festival, con un cartel repleto de pésimos músicos y propuestas mediocres...

el boleto VIP está caro, verlos de cerca y alejado de la raza que impediría disfrutar con sus gritos y empujones.

que solo toquen 1 hora como se acostumbra en festivales?

Maldita cultura de festivales... ni modo, en méxico no hay suficiente audiencia inteligente como para que venga PORTISHEAD solos.

[Elfopoter]

@NUKLEUSBENZ trstemente asi es,pero quiero creer que si les "funciona" a los "promotores" podrian traerlos solos .... ahora bien, es TODO un logro q portishead se presente en mexico, sea festival o no, hasta donde me habia resignado era imposible verlos aqui, afortunadamente cambiaron de opinion, pero tristemente fue para un festival, y de grupos q la verdad no me interesan un carajo .... estare ahi solo por ellos

[NUKLEUSBENZ]

@Elfopoter

Así es Elfo, le dolio un poco a mi cartera pero finalmente decidi aventarme por el boleto de sección VIP, la oportunidad de verles en vivo ha llegado e imposible estár lejos... a preparar el ipod e ignorar a la bola de estúpidos que tocaran antes...

Ahí nos vemos.

[malikiesands1]

Portishead for those you want more. She is creepy but her voice is from deep within with passion and torn in what she brings out for us to witness. The show in NYC was incredible awhile back. no matter which album it will be for beyond our time

[apenix]

minute 3:54 - drum mistake!

He smiles because of that...

[saskuekage]

he plays faster than usual (-.o)

[metallicawiz33]

metro

[manme8]

WAtch Metro:last light trailer, they use this song its pretty BEAST

[nicholas1514]

I shall listen to this in memory of Ryan Dunn

[squarEyes]

2:37 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[clayguy33]

Damn those keyboards sound good at 3:30

[yasseeninator]

Poor Portishead fans had their comment section invaded by us gamers talking about a strange Metro

[insidertaken2]

@yasseeninator that's nice of u showing that regard, thank you (and i mean it, not being sarcastic)

[Pulawsky]

I can't believe that so many people found this video only because trailer. But I'm happy that they've finally found! :)

[weebok4412]

Why is poeple talking about this metro in this vid? lol

[ElliFong]

@weebok4412 Because it had been used in Metro: Last Light trailer

[midadzafyreman]

@weebok4412 Because this song was in the Metro: Last Light trailer. Which is why so many found this song and the views skyrocketed.

[bumrang]

All I can say is:

Metro.

[mihalachedoru]

@bumrang: yeah, that trailer is dope

[Iamthespy2275]

@bumrang All I can say to respond to that is: Last Light.

[oblivionoflight]

@bumrang seriously, i couldn't agree more.

[comeatmebro9]

hmm, i could go for some badass russian mutant killin right now

[MrPickleontheside]

37 people listen to lil wayne

[matthiasfsa]

Artyom!!! Save us!!!

[JJA118]

Great song found it while watching the trailer for Metro Last Light

[jackwyd]

@JJA118 me too :)

[musicmakespeace]

what instrument is that making the "supposedly drum sounds" ? u know.. the dek dek dek dek and stuff

[MrPickleontheside]

@musicmakespeace a beat box? i think that's the name

[CphLotography]

@musicmakespeace something like a Roland SPD-S Sampling Percussion Pad

[usgloli]

@CphLotography

Personnally I think the drum pad is an Roland Octapad (maybe the version 2) which's linked to a SP 303 (or 404 you see the back at 3:43 ) and FX from the Moog Voyager front of the drummer ( 2:51 ).

[jonhdoe1395]

@musicmakespeace It's some kind of deck.

[ThatRetroVirus]

I'm surprised this could be pulled off so well live.

[mindvinicius]

lol metro last nitght

[mindvinicius]

Her voice is beautiful

[rylfsh13]

def. saw metro trailer before this....THIS SONG SO CATCHY

[mrbbsdp2627]

i love this song, and yes thanks metro

[AgunZagunCom]

Thumbs up if you know this song before the "Metro Last Light" Trailer.

[Grudkarn]

@AgunZagunCom Yeah, that's a shame that we need video games to ear for the first time Portishead... There's a lot of other unbelivable songs...

[BananaJDM]

metro ,lol

[THEbestpetar]

Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Metro Becoming INSANE

[redwinterwolf]

could have sworn the drum comes from a MASCHINE, geuss not.

[digibluez]

Metro!!! Powww!2

[TheJok3rPR]

metro gived this vid views

[SuperiFox]

@TheJok3rPR I think that's somewhat obvious.

[MrN00B1N4T3R]

I took this becuse i was to scared for the muic video xD

[cirwin2010]

Metro last light FTW

[3FruitsPunch]

It's such a powerful song of emotions. Her singing aided by the beating of the drums from deep to screams. It's just amazing.

[SuperiFox]

@3FruitsPunch It is... makes me feel like one of those refugees in that film with clive owen, children of men.

[supman77]

>__________>

I Found this cause of Metro.

[3FruitsPunch]

I'M HERE BECAUSE OF METRO LAST NIGHT TEASER!

[oXIdizzyIXo]

METRO 2034!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (last light)

[Tocqualamond]

Who was found this because of the Metro Last Light Tralier

[siccmadegames]

@Tocqualamond

all hail metro, king of games

[Tocqualamond]

@siccmadegames Thats right

[Stroggdorr]

@Tocqualamond Please forgivling me I dont the english well.

[bowienirvana]

portishead;  always in my mind!

[TheModCon]

Hmmm wonder if that's an original MiniMoog or if it's the new one, whatever they call it ^^

[lukeisareilly]

Possibly my favourite song of the last decade

[eightcutsgallery]

this was my my favourite song for the 30daysongchallenge - just incredible. A bone-marrow shreddingly toxic piece of brilliance. And I first heard it on Jools which makes this even better

[gvd90]

wtf.. this is no music this is just freaking annoying

[andre230994]

@gvd90 /watch?v=SVX2adpyInM&feature=r­elated

watch this and shut the fuck up

[spuddle]

Hmm makes me wonder if they were "inspired by" Jimi Hendrix's Machine gun at least in using the percussion to mimic gunfire

[ShadoTheBrainTheif]

@spuddle Or maybe the 1812 overture...

[cordfluidnevoie]

Two Words Trip Hop

[subrosaeffect1]

Geoff is a genuis

[Sukyaiory]

pfff!!! i love her voice omg! =O! sometimes i think she is from out of space i ♥ portishead!

[cordfluidnevoie]

@Sukyaiory sometimes i think all good people are from outer space

[Sukyaiory]

pfff!!! i love her voice omg! =O!

[tacuvo]

When I first heard this song, I was not impressed and changed to the next one. Until one day I somehow ended up listening to the whole thing and when that synth part comes in at 3:30, holy cow... I felt like it was turning me inside out.. I wish they would tour the US.. they're one of the bands I'd like to see at least once in my lifetime..

[adebrysi]

love portishead. wanna see 'em live sooooo bad, man.

[LJCH4E]

I am deaf person. I like this. Don't kill me. :D

[spuddle]

@LJCH4E I'm a deaf person too and I love music :)

[LJCH4E]

I am deaf person. I like this. :D

[pmlsantos]

The final minute reminds me of Terminator, dont know why!..

AWESOME SONG :))

[georgecwilliamsjr]

@pmlsantos me too!!!  i even made a T2 vid!

[ADrowningOfficial]

This song sounds like The Space In Between from Trent reznor's new band How To Destroy Angels for the beat,

[pedroaz]

An epic end...perfect!

[slowpokecity]

this song reminds me of blade runner. suits it perfectly. which is perfect considering Portishead originally made music for those kinds of films noir-espionage stuff. amazing song.

[ergodicity100]

beth's voice smashes me

[AdamTrid]

Why does this have less than 1 million views?

[NashX]

Was definitely secretly hoping for some kind of insane Commodores cover. But no, this is good, too...

[roydestroyforever]

Exceptional!

Transcendental!

Enormous!

Hope is on the way!

[chrisgoodison]

Absolutely amazing track. Massive portishead fan, but IMO they can't be compared to Radiohead, not even in the slightest. Codex from King Of Limbs is a good example of why radiohead are 10000 times better.

[JonasMigas]

@chrisgoodison oh cmon...two different bands on their own leagues...plus "king of limbs" was after "third". and i love both bands...they are both great

[hitmanino81]

at 3.30 it's like the terminator music <3

[rubble1712]

@hitmanino81 hahaha i think thats why i like this song, loved that T2 theme music as a kid

[hitmanino81]

@rubble1712 who doesn't :)

[facecheek]

My parents hate this song

I mean i love it but its just funny cause you know their older and their like "its just annoying banging and noises," etc.

but awesome

[knifemares]

rad

[AGBEBAKU]

amazing!!!

[xXxxKrizzxxXx]

im like addicted to this music.. O_O 

[xXxxKrizzxxXx]

im like addicted to this music..

[taargus]

Third is a amazing album. It's nothing like their other two, but the style of them have been copied too many times. Massive attack comes to mind for me. If they recreated an old album it might have failed to pick up any new listeners. Yes this song is repetitive but the rest of Third is amazing. Plus the album version of this song reminds me of The Terminator!

[DeetryLove]

<<<PORTISHEAD fan since 94...

ahhhh BETH your voice is like angels!

ACCEPT CHANGE PEOPLE......i love this CD as much as I love the others......

this is MAGNIFICENT!!!!

my kids love you TOO!!!!!

[DeetryLove]

its called CHANGE people.

Open Yo' minds -

<<<huge PORTISHEAD head!!!!

i had to listen to this a couple of times before i appreciated it.

because of course i wanted the same sound as the previous CDs.

BUT i stopped being Bias and listened..............and i love it just like all their others!!

BIG UPS PORTISHEAD < a true FAN

my kids love you TOO!!!

[lucasaburns]

why do people like this im not tryin to hate i just want to know the apeal

[vBlogmiscarrage]

@lucasaburns what do you like?

[lucasaburns]

@vBlogmiscarrage umm metal some some other stuff nin porcupine tree some clasic rock some jazz some clasical

[iceman992992]

Sorry but this is not for me... I put this against Mysterons, Roads, Only You, etc., and I just wince in shame at this. I don't hear any musicality in it, too mechanical.

[truthemulator]

@iceman992992 go listen to some more music dude, maybe some stockhausen, and understand what mechanical really is

[iceman992992]

@truthemulator Not interested.

[keynestortoise]

Billie Holiday would be so proud...

[Gellis2009]

this is faster then the album version. just love it though. been listening to dubstep recently and they are just about pulling out sounds the portis head did years ago

[The51days]

this is...i don't know.....

[lowlockunknown]

Great. Just a brilliant band.

[Phlottephyr]

It seems like some have missed the point of having different tastes in music. Oh well, I love the song and I feel sorry for the people who don't. People need to shut the fuck up about the amount of dislikes and should instead enjoy having great taste.

[gzussturbo]

@ 3:30 I always think of The Terminator theme, but this song is amazing in it's own regard!

[elbonia17]

the beat is so infectious

[bowienirvana]

portishead: como siempre, el mismo comentario.  JARLL

[wearefoalz]

I always end up feeling an overwhelming sense of anger when I listen to this song yet I can't stop listening as it's so strangely beautiful. A great song!

[skrason]

For the 25 thumbs down folks: Please, move along. This music was never meant for you. Feel free to go on listening to fucking CRAP. This is not for you. This is not for you. THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

[ImpaledByZebras]

@skrason chill the fuck out k

[skrason]

@ImpaledByZebras Sorry 'bout that. Had a bad day. For some reason, those thumbs downs were the straws that broke the camel's back, you know?

[ImpaledByZebras]

@skrason hahah alright man. cheers.

[DebasedGuy]

beth gibbons made me cry

[DebasedGuy]

no pinches putas mameeeeeeeeeesssssssss !!!!!!! nnooo pinches mames!!!

i crap in my pants, I cry like a girl !!!! this IS FUCKING AMAZING!!! THIS IS A FUCKING MIND BLOWING SONG!!! WWWWOOOOOOTTTTTTAAAAAA

[danielhl22]

Terminator 5:Rise Of The Music

[sicknessguitar87]

one of the most annoying songs i haver ever heard...

[guusvrencken]

@sicknessguitar87

Originality is always good! You don't have to like it....

I think Portishead is one of a kind. They keep on searching for new things....
