ENTER SHIKARI 'Kickin Back...' live @ soundcheck. LA. Dec 07

[weestooo]

ITS TIME TO LIVE!

[36hunters]

Can't believe this never made it to an Album!

Probably my favourite song from the Shikari boys.

[XxxMoreIsRockXxx]

@36hunters If you get the zone then this song is on there along with keep it on ice and some remixes aswell!:-D

[lconology]

@36hunters the zone

[36hunters]

@lconology The Zone isn't an Album...

[mrduckzzz]

Should have been the closing track to take to the skies

[jaaf59]

1:55 THE BEST PART LOVE IT <3

[jaaf59]

@jaaf59 TAAKKE TO THE SKIIIES !

[frostbytet17]

He screams pretty rugged in destabilise

[riseup274]

best shikari song hands down, very under-rated and under-played

[KSE62]

@riseup274 Agreed!

[Afr0j0e]

They so need to re-record this.

[floortileproductions]

i feel like "tear(ing) out your tongue" is a bit more brutal than "cut(ting)" it off. a cut would be cleaner than just having it ripped out :O

[dunduunduuun]

i wish he would scream like that still. i think he got surgery on his cords or something :/

[CupOfVinegar]

@dunduunduuun He didn't, he screams in common dreads, just not much.

[Deathstardankness]

@dunduunduuun give me a break. i hear that about ever band. he didnt get work on his cords done... he just doesnt do it live anymore. like any other band it seems the progressively change there vocal styles from screams to sings. doesnt mean he cant do it. look at a7x. back when they were actually good he changed his style and everyone said the same thing. that he hurt him self and couldnt do it anymore,

[badausf]

@dunduunduuun he still does it quite a bit, he did it at all the shoes i was at a couple months back but no way did he get any kind of surgery

[HartAttackRecords]

@dunduunduuun I didn't think Rou did get surgery. I know Matt Tuck did, the BFMV frontman, but I thought Rou didn't need it.

[dunduunduuun]

@HartAttackRecords im pretty sure i read somewhere that he did. it would explain why his screams are different and why he doesn't scream as much. could be wrong.

[dunduunduuun]

@keller43561 yea chris is wayyy better at singing and i prefered trance as well. thier new album sounds better but i will always miss the old ES<3

[billiam301]

I prefer the recorded version but I prefer the way he sings it on this version :L

[crazzyhubbard]

Best part 2:31 onwards :P

[cheahboy93]

I think this is my favorite ES song even thought they're all amazing

[rapeyadog]

they played this in preston the other night! AMAZING!!!

[daleio16]

@rapeyadog I almost cried when they pulled this put of the sack.

[Tak3ToTheSkies]

@rapeyadog omg HI

[rapeyadog]

@Tak3ToTheSkies HEYYYYY :D

[bradwad]

@rapeyadog preston 53! i was thereeee was epic! didnt think they'd play it was epic

[Imamonkee108]

Troubador, wtf?1 Thats liek down the fucking street from me!?

[AskMitchJackson]

I perfer this over there new stuff. Still amazing though.

[dropdeaddrew]

Mint

[johnsolomon23]

wats the electric guitar amp setting for this please i need it

[2Koranteng]

i miss the way they used to be like this - a unique mix of post hardcore and trance

dubstep's cool but tbf everyones doing it right?

[TheOldSpirit]

@2Koranteng Well, I wouldn't say everyone is doing dubstep, or at least doing it well. I think for Shikari its just another means of developing their music. But yes, Take To The Skies and The Zone definately(sp?) had more of the hardcore/trance mix than their newer stuff. But well, its just how they've progressed as a band I suppose.

[MrHungryal]

his scream was soo much better then

kind of a waste of a great voice now there is barley any screams in there muisc

[music5freak5]

@MrHungryal barley?

and yes there is if you actually listen to it...

[LeutennantDan]

@MrHungryal Have you ever seen them live? They are still doing this kind of stuff. And to be fair, their songwriting and Rou's singing have gotten way better.

[Jibbulo]

@MrHungryal Rou and Enter Shikari can only improve... I love how Rou's voice has got all growly and awesome- actually listen to them instead of judging

[scooters321]

Rous vocals are crunchy <3

[jacksamuelwilden]

@psiro all their stuff is sick

[rockerandrave252]

what does it say on rous hoodie

[EnterShikari875]

@rockerandrave252

This Is Fate

[Stupidkid923]

this is fate

[shantthemute]

its called a harmonic

VVV

[Georocs7]

Whats dat thing rory has on his finger when playin his guitar that makes all the funky noises??

[poodicen]

harmonic mother fucker!

[gtrincs]

i love both versions, but live is definitely alot better than the recorded version

[welshdrummer92]

Chris and Rory's mics are turned up too high or theyre singing to loud cuz that was alot of overdrive :L

[TheLukeDaniel]

its a sound check dont you know the meaning obviously they would adjust it

[welshdrummer92]

Yes i did realise :)

[JJaffar11]

Thats why its a SOUND check. if u notice they keep adjustiing volumes and such

[JJaffar11]

oops didnt realize someone already said that too you....

[mattomsay]

the screaming is the best i've heard from rou in a long time

[1337Twig]

true !!

[TheOneWhoSux]

agree

this growling at breath in breath out: amazing

[slllllayer]

so much better than the recorded version

[JuStInPsYcHeDeLiC]

fack! I always thought Rou's name was pronounced "Rew" with an eww not "Row" with an oww

[rtstephens91]

somebody else said rou rhymes with cow not moo

[ellsybow]

yeah i allways thought it was rou like rew i was really upset when i found out it wasnt :( so i just call him rew anyway ;) love it

[blinkmenow3]

You watch this, then you watch no sleep tonight and you think what the fuck happened!!

there new stuff is ok but there old is just amazing...Just listen to this then go listen to no sleep tonight and you'll probably agree

Im not a hater of the new album i love it i just love this one more =]

LOVE SHIKARI!!

[BeesonTheBeeson]

No Sleep Tonight just hasn't got as much screaming or synth in it.. Its one of their softer songs.. Solidarity on the other hand, or Zzzonked, they have lots of synth AND screaming in it.. The new album is just as good as the last.

[martinobrap]

couldn't agree with you more, i still like them it's just that the new stuff doesn't compare!

[daggerjc]

Although lets be honest the old stuff was SO good it was always going to be impossible to top! just take common dreads as it is....fucking amazing music by an eic band! ES <3

[ChickenMOOO]

I miss Rou actually singing

[pbeer]

Yes! i couldn't agree more! Their last album was more hardcore (which the genre originally was) now ts turned into something different, i mean their new stuff still has hardcore origins, but songs like "no Sssweat" are ejust about respect (Y) awesome

[littlehobo12345]

the hardcore was dampned

It was less screamo more Dubstep

[666RIPblink182]

Man his scream is freaking AWESOME, love it haha

[dngrouscrgo]

u can realy feel the synth kick in at 3:18

[JJaffar11]

Personally,

I'de rather listen to this than the recorded version.

[miniboy14]

me too. there's more power in the live version

[waferproductions]

@JJaffar11 agreeed.

[neverender54]

This song is so awesome

I think it should be on an album instead od just a B side

[sensesfail70]

im pretty sure it was on their first 9-track album The Zone

even though they call it an EP themselves its more of an album if youd ask me :p

[KSE62]

@sensesfail70 it was on the Anything can Happen... EP first.

[xxivelxx]

why dont they play this live i went strait from the no sleep tonite new video on myspace to this and this blows it away i can play this whole song and he added a new yell the YAAAAWr right b4 the take to the skies part

[xmattvsmondayx]

I freaking love this song XD they should play it more at their gigs

[xxivelxx]

what happened to this kinda screams thire still amazing on common dreads but no screams except for three sentences in solidarity and he cuts it out live dam

[MyLittleBonsai]

Yeah, it's probably Rou. His balls have dropped so all he can do is barbaric shouts.

[psychobadger088]

have you seen the dvd that came with the limited version of common dreads? he still screams like he used to on some of the older songs. yet shouts in the newer ones, im confused.

[MyLittleBonsai]

I was just kidding. He probably can't keep up with the screaming any more and maybe he felt that screaming didn't work well in new songs. I don't know, I'm not him ha ha.

[psychobadger088]

sorry if that sounded like i was having a go at you, coz it wasnt ment to. im just actually confused

[MyLittleBonsai]

Ah, yeah I did take it the wrong way, don't worry.

But yeah, music changes. I personally just think his voice can't really cope with it that much any more and he will only do it for the odd old song.

[psychobadger088]

yeah that was my guess. ah well ES are still awesome and thats my conclusion

[MyLittleBonsai]

Completely agree!

[BethySniper]

there's an interview that he did..

i think it was like..

ultimate guitar or something..

and he said he's fed up of all bands doing the same old screaming, so he didn't want it included in the new album..

and also he was just fed up of it all.

haha.

[RESPECTtoJSNIPER]

Do you have the link to that video? I can't seem to find it?

:/

[blueredfred2]

brilliant vocal harmonies!

[jackbob666777]

no wait tht is his shirt fing his hoodie says this is fate

[OscarHracsO]

i love rou's screaming in this

[mikeythevegan]

what does rous hoodie say?

[ad1170]

i thought at first it meant (this is shit)

but their another saying (this is fate)

[jackbob666777]

it says this is fate no sweat no tears fair trade step up :D

[JJaffar11]

shits tight!!!

[tripep]

aki fans de españa

[tripep]

aki un fans español (spains shikari)

[PyroxxxCroxer]

Inward Screamo

[linkpwns]

Do you have an issue?

He doesn't inhale all of his stuff.

It's mostly for effect.

[Ellayeahh]

i love Rou ;D hihi

[gvhh]

I love these soooooooo much :33333333333333333333333333333­33333333333333333

[Bernardboby]

whats the doohickeymajig that Rou's laying on aswell as vocals called?

[SHIKARISALWAYSBITE]

im guessing you mean the synths

he uses a Korg EMX-1 which is the thing that gives out the crazy drums and the "dance" riff in this and other songs, he also USED a microKORG until about 2008 and then he swapped that for a Korg R3, the Korg r3/microkorg are just for doing little things on the top like erm on juggernauts he actually plays most of that as opposed to programming, he uses mixing decks on stage too, hope this helps

the Emx is £300-£500

microkorg £250-£320

Korg R3 £300-£400 :):)

[Bernardboby]

Cool, thanks a lot, expensive sstuff though so i doubt i'll be getting one of them XD

[grapefruitboy]

thanks, i didn't ask but i wanted to know (Y)

[RESPECTtoJSNIPER]

He doesn't use a Kaoss pad anymore? I know he used it for Sorry Your Not A Winner but is that all he used it for?

[DarkIceXIII]

I didn't see a Kaoss pad when i saw them live in march. he still uses his EMX though.

[JJaffar11]

he also used the Kaoss in no sssweat and ok time for plan B

[360Alucardius360]

And in SYNAW

[xxscenexxnarellexx]

they dont do this anymore

dissapointing it never really got advertised yet it is one of there best songs

[letsnotgettosilly]

they do still do it,

its been in there set most of the time for the last year

[Daali94]

rous inhales sound fucking awesome :D

[lewisarcher666]

that doesnt even look like rou. check out 4:23. looks different. he normally looks like a little huggy bear. lol. but not here??????

[MagicSmarties]

rou sounds so differnt to when they did all ther old ep stuff life nodding acquaintance. almost like a differnt person!

[macca3666]

Time to liiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiii­ivee..

[Benlito108]

[nucularboomb]

Rob still looks as if hes having the absolute time of his life lol

[Benlito108]

Havoc(a & b), Hectic, Solidarity, the jester& juggernauts are also amazing

[nofyt]

[Benlito108]

yes live and they were amazing

[0l0l0l0l0l0l00l0l0ll]

[zimmoframen]

to be fair to him it's only a soundcheck....

[Sophatron5000]

It was only a soundcheck

[ILuvMongoose]

They're only soundchecking man

[adam10008]

ok man!

[02proctera]

tap solo in this song is so good

[Glennisalezbian]

Haha i dont think they really want to be there by the looks of their faces

[HxCmaniacPunk92]

dude its a sound check its not like its a concert and theres like some imaginary crowd they gota go nuts for.

[Glennisalezbian]

sure there is :(

[hughshikarii]

haha 2:24 haha thats so funny! its not workingggggggg

[MediaShutdown]

hes taping in the tempo lol

[hughshikarii]

haha:)

[Athelian]

How the hell does Rou scream that well o_0. He owns the inhales.

[sth209]

Inhales are for wusses. Death exhale is the only way to vocalise!

[SirStevieBee]

that wasnt inhale screaming anyways. he does inhale sometimes like on return to energiser etc but not this

[BlueEyedBoy1989]

He actually does inhale.

"Breathe in, breathe out" ;)

[dawrightstuff]

He does do inhales on this track

1:00, that's an inhale

[jared20101]

why are you telling us that lmao

[dawrightstuff]

Agh, youtube fucked up my reply thingy xD

It was a reply to a guy who said Rou doesn't do inhales.

[danielspital]

shikari blow my mind

[ArtEternal]

[ledgeucator]

*You begin to register cliffs as teeth*

[hoxtonhero91]

haha i find it funny how people think this is on take to the skies, just because theyve got the lyrics in it.

its on THE ZONE. brilliant album. Cant wait for COMMON DREADS :D

[AppleOfDischord]

This song is on the zone EP, which they released in 2007.. Which is damm good.

*The fucking penny drops*

[xxscenexxnarellexx]

[xxscenexxnarellexx]

this is NOT on take to the skies

[brocksampson1234]

if you buy it of itunes, in the US, it will be on take to the skies. its the last song on the list, im pretty sure its a bonus song because you only get it if you buy the whole album

[Robooo21]

I bloody adore this song,

[vivalosgueros]

its on the zone cd..its my fav song from them

[firehawk259]

mine to

[rtstephens91]

i thoughtit was 'cut' not 'tear' out your tongue?

[MKEERY07]

in the recorded version it is, but maybe Rou fancied a change... instead of the same old same old

[firehawk259]

its cut

[Cgabriel93]

This song is on

"take to the skies"

awesome CD i must say

:D

[georgegoesshikari]

no it isn't lol :/ its on the zone :)

[brocksampson1234]

if you buy it on itunes, in the US, you get this song as a "bonus" song at the very end of the cd. but yeah its on the zone also

[Banaanalien]

[SunglassesShow]
