[Hungerwolf419]

[MaDaFaKahZ]

OH dudes... this is music.

[EDOM666DEVORE]

this video is all one shot lol

[acidtrip45]

fucking awesome video!

[mcdermic]

I thank Road Rash 3D for the first Playstation for introducing me to this band with "Temptation" And "Babylon". I cant get enough of em!

[Drumnbassheadz4life]

Good song

[mlmcin05]

this reminds me of the movie Synechdoche, Ny, but better. this is what that movie should have been =P

[JennEM84]

This was my first introduction to the band YEARS ago - I must have been about 12 or so - and I "rediscovered" it recently. I still can' t take my eyes off it!

[michaelaanthea1]

He doesnt look like he's fighting too hard not be the sub on that table !!!lmfao

[trancedspirit]

LOLZ..no yer right...agreedoh im sub on the table....ohh nooo..puhlease....no...puleaes­e....no uhh no...PLEASE (no) Please (no) PLEASE......que the lyrics

[Selothi]

I do prefer the older Tea Party, but man, that has got to be one of my favourite clips ! Awesome, man !

[HelloKitty7769]

They seem to like S&M LOL! Love the music.

[blisstwist]

I bet Jeff Burrows does..... he looks like he has that gleam in his eye...LOL

[220massimo]

wonderful video, one of the best all of the times

[dontmentiongoats]

Haven't heard this in years!!

Still one of my favourite bands to see of all time...

[advil0069]

DEATH TO THE NWO

[stupaod]

[1] Woe to you, Babylon and Asia! Woe to you, Egypt and Syria!

[2] Gird yourselves with sackcloth and haircloth, and wail for your children, and lament for them; for your destruction is at hand.

[4546UNOME]

This tune kicks ass!!!

[KommandantKavu]

For some reason this reminds me of Nine Inch Nails style of music video.. Even the sound is sort of similar.. Hm, I'm not sure why people even bother saying they dislike a song? You looking for comfort in knowing other people are out there that dislike it too?.. Regardless I like it, so I negate any purposeful notion that comes with your comment.

[ashflower]

This is waaaay too club for my taste. I wish they'd stuck with the style they had on The Edges of Twilight. This sound is soooo dated now.

[jawn108]

i always liked this video

[whitiedave]

filthy filthy filthy i tell ya's

fuck all of ya's

{:O)

[forphuksake]

never seen this verson b4 :)

[Cobhammar]

this song is so amazing

[kloiep]

should have had some marines giving artistic advice on how to crash through the gates...

[SmileBit299]

Jeff Martin is the biggest tool in music. Holy shit that guys ego makes me throw up a little in my mouth. He was a good artist but his last 3 albums have sucked shit.

[snakebite11b1]

such a good video, not so craZy about the song though

[GODonACID]

love this song.. but i used to have an MP3 of this song that had a bunch of piano at the end, anyone else have that too? I'm curious if that was actually part of the song or not.

[EvilTB]

That was a hidden track called "Embryo".

[GODonACID]

thank you so much!

[peachyvesper]

That was a great track....

[Mineav]

Not their best song, but I love the video. If you want to hear a great song from the same album from which this was released check out "Gyroscope" and of course "Temptation".

[HEINEKEN4532]

Where the F@#K is that Grammy?!?

[KingInk80]

@HEINEKEN4532 I think it's on Milli Vanilli's mantle. *sighs*

[fields131]

5/5

[homesickalienpoet]

A sad but true story--Ass rock band Creed toured with The Tea Party and decided to try and rip them off on their Human Clay album by adding a more Indonesian sound--This made them even more terrible than befor but they got even bigger while the Tea Party continued to rot in obscurity, except in Canada. WTF?!  Just shows that most listeners today are just monkeys with headphones and an ipod. Wait I take that back, monkeys would have better taste. Tea Party was fucking awesome.

[mpw00]

Tea Party was the shiz night!! I'm not surprised Creed would do something like that. Got to keep the Christian rock listeners happy somehow. Scott Stapp is an ass clown anyway.

[apollosgirl]

I agree! I saw Creed open for The Tea Party in 1997 and hated Scott Stapp posing on stage like he was Jesus. It always makes me think of the Soundgarden song Jesus Christ Pose

And you stare at me

In your jesus christ pose

Arms held out

Like you've been carrying a load

And you swear to me

You don't want to be my slave

But you're staring at me

Like I need to be saved

Scott Stapp and Creed suck and The Tea Party is the best rock band ever!!!!

[kayomarlin]

Particularly like the Soundgarden reference.

[blazemite]

sound garden reference? where

when i first heard these guys i thoought it was chris cornell (soundgarden singer) singing

[strandneuker]

and some of europe & really big in australia (platinum i believe on their first album)

[cassidymav]

@homesickalienpoet The good thing is that monkeys are easy to control thanks to their lack of sensibility and their hollow desire of following the mass believing they'll get to the slaughterhouse first, and another good thing is that still many listen to great bands like this, I bet crap like Creed will be forgotten :)

There has always gotta' be scum for the true to shine... and if monkeys are scum the least they wanna know about is the truth though you already know that ^^

[morknmindl]

I never would have looked at this the way I do now until I got into what really isn't going on in the world.

[alicektn]

Is it really all in one shot? If yes...Wow.

[AlbinoScout]

Yeah it is.

[araiamata]

this clip is realy very strange

coll!!!

[holyjodeeshit]

im in love 15 years later,STILL

[MultiHero]

this video is goood

[mysticgrave1993]

this video's strange... I LIKE IT! :P

[mysticgrave1993]

so sexy!

[fortywives]

Still one of my favorite videos of all time. Thanks for posting!

[Willynka]

i see trent reznor

[AlbinoScout]

This video actually inspired a NIN video. This is my favorite album of all time.

[newnrg]

Yeh ok tea party inspired nin ha ha ha

[AlbinoScout]

You do realize 90% of the time the band doesn't come up with the idea for a video? There is a NIN video that was in fact filmed in one shot and the idea was in fact taken from this video. Whether it was Trent Reznor or the director that was inspired by this video, that wasn't in the article I read. Music videos are ways to promote music and aren't made by bands, moron. The Tea Party didn't inspire NIN. This video inspired a NIN video. Which is exactly what I said.

[donniedarko66699]

Absolutely no one cares what you have to say albinoscout your words are as weightless as air.

[AlbinoScout]

And why, may I ask, is that?

[AlbinoScout]

Because they'd rather listen to you pretend to be deep and esoteric? Spare me. The fact of the matter, and I'm sure there are 20 million people that will jump down my throat for this, is that Trent Reznor will never be the musician Jeff Martin is. Let's see him pick up a guitar and do half the shit Jeff Martin does. Can he play Winter Solstice or Coming Home? Or The River? It's not just about playing either. It's writing those songs. NIN doesn't compare in writing or musicianship.

[ernestom72]

totally agreed bro, however both are gifted musicians and have their grandeur, have in mind their styles are very opposite, though Im afraid any band can do what Tea party has done, ever...

[Filemon5]

which NIN video?

[Aranman16]

This is such a slick video... I wonder how long it took them to get this right in only one take? Incredible.

[cheebamaria]

Temptation was The Tea Party's finest moment...

[gswiggins]

The guy being painted by the old lady is hot.

[annichrist]

hahaha i fucking danced to this song at club sanctuary!!!...that was ages ago tho :P....ahh fond memories!

[newnrg]

Hmm that must have made ppl laugh as it really isnt a dance song lol

[annichrist]

actually you can dance to any type of music whether its techno,metal or whatever and just because this is not a proper dance song dosent mean you cant feel it;)

[newnrg]

Lmfao off ok..wat r u sum kind of fairy?? lol..go dance ur heart out

[bsdaemon666]

retard.

[AlbinoScout]

How's the lobotomy working for you?

[motina10]

Oh I have heard of those lobotomy thingys.. they actually make people believe only SOME music is for dancing. Sorry zombie newnrg, ALL music is for dancing.

[TekLok]

no, not all music is built for the dance floor, you have a poor understanding of the world of music.

[motina10]

You have a poor understanding of what dancing is.

[TekLok]

Music is meant to move you, and that may be either mentally or physically, so my original point remains.

[motina10]

No your original post was strawman, as dancing is not relegated to the dance floor and includes what you just mentioned and much more.

[AstralxSymphony]

Stop arguing semantics you dick. The accepted definition of dancing is what TekLok refers to; moving your body. If you have some New Age, metaphorical bullshit definition of dancing, that's your own private, personal opinion which has merit and bearing in your private universe only, not the public universe. Not all music is made for dancing. Period. Dancing is not relegated to the dancefloor, but that doesn't mean that all music is created for dancing, dumbfuck. And lobotomies? Left field much?

[motina10]

Strawman. Are you seriously saying that you only dance to dance music. Who is the lobotimized dumbfuck?

Hell, since you obviously don't know the context of the original comment of how they danced to the song, and then the lobotomized zombie saying it is not a dance song, you are clearly aguing about something else that is a strawman.

Illiterate dumbies who can't read so they make up their own shit against what was originally said.

I will continue to defend annichrist from newnrg.

Strawmen.

[motina10]

You are arguing semantics, newnrg was arguing semantic. All strawmen, and quite frankly a red herring.

[cherryunderground]

The band, the song and the video are all perfect!

[Wantabanana]

The epitome of the Toronto Goth scene. Reminds me of the Dance Cave, Sanctuary, and everything else dark in T.O. Rock on!

[LedZeppel1n]

The drummer is just amazing.

[AlbinoScout]

Yeah dude. Jeff Burrows. Rock on.

[WishBoneXJ9]

this band deserves to be known worldwide...they're amazing and very talented...only 10% of people recognize good music..the rest listens to shitty music.. and i have to say The Tea Party is a fucken awesome band..they should have conquer the world before they broke up..

[C4rgo]

Great song and video... unfortunately they get not so popular in europe...this song is a little bit gothic or???

[13osiris13]

hold up - they broke up? this is the first ive heard of that

[fantasyqueen17]

I luv this band

to bad they broke up

[ImmortalDestructor]

This video is one shot, no cuts. This sort of thing is very difficult to do and is amazing to a movie nerd like me.

[XMitsuhideX]

everything pre-seven circles was GOLD.

[AcerSiXX]

So absolutely true!! And i'd say you're downvaluing it comparing it to gold... I's also cut out interzone mantras, not good enough. Edges of twilight was pure, Splendor solis was awesome and transmission was bliss! That's my holy trinity! Respectively, my best on each album, Fire in the head, The river and Psycopomp.... boy did I get stoned on that one! Enjoy and for those of you who don't know the Tea Party... do yourselves a favor, buy Edges of twilight!!!

[XMitsuhideX]

That's really creepy, because those are my three favourites! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! xD

[hellfirecan]

great video...great song...great band

[xSammiexo]

i am in love with Jeff Martin! he went solo tho.. so i guess no more Tea Party ='(

[chrisb53]

AWESOME video.

[mnmteam]

I'm from the States, and have been a fan since their first Album. What I can't understand is why only a few of us here seem to know they exist, it just seems our radio stations do not play them! In my opinion Jeff Martin has one of the best voices out there along with the late Jim Morrison, and Glen Danzig. All these voices sound very similar to me, and that's why I can't understand why Jeff Martin isn't more popular here in the U.S.

[Tsukiko10000]

Canadian bands rarly ever get popular in the U.S.

[Micheallikespie]

its the same here in New Zealand mnmteam. no1 knows about The Tea Party, meand myflatmate are Huge fans of them and have all their cds but we dont really know any other fans.

[Chillay14]

a great voice is Gavin Rossdale too..

[motina10]

I am pretty sure Jim Morrison influenced Jeff, but who did Jim not inspire... aside from the obvious pop shit.

[wheels85]

I'm sure he even influenced them on some level, although it would kill him to know that, if he were still alive.

[thinngcd]

if who were still alive ???

[wheels85]

Jim Morrison

[lenon776]

I love this song.

[candycane15]

this was the song that got me to finally start liking the Tea Party... I looove the new turn they took in the late 90s. great stuff

[fujisartono]

i love bands who push boundaries .. nine inch nails, tea party, radiohead, smashing pumpkins !!!
