BORIS "Statement" (Official)

[Ilphyr]

I love how the band member's respective enthusiasm goes up from left to right when they're lined up like that.

[ICEdonOtto]

watas representing her own style and personality, shes not gonna lie to you. Shes a cool calm hot chick that can shred a guitar. Besides the drummer has enough enthusiasm to cover the whole band, enjoyed the intro scream -> cowbell.

[Borisimo90]

fucking band ripping of ma name and whats worse is the music is weak

[Nachiyumi2735]

最高

[Tonymendez2112]

what album is this off?

[pippisofie]

Boris



[cicobuffy]

Groovy

[cekinxxx]

my name is boris, but i'm not russian, thumbs up for me cause i'm the coolest person around lol

just joking

[jontheartguy]

Okay, women who look like that don't do those things to guitars.

[Trauma13579]

great band, very underrated imo

[borixin]

UN GRUPO CON MI NOMBRE :)



[prostheticneck]

Its rare for a band to have a cd where every song is awesome and on this cd every song is awesome IMO.

[sierota77]

Hipster metal sucks.

[Asapin]

@sierota77 pffhahahhaa

[lookout4kneegrows]

@sierota77 wats hipster metal?

[ministerofmetal666]

@lookout4kneegrows I think it's any metal band that doesn't sound like Blind Guardian or Helloween.

[petronije1001]

@sierota77 really good description-but this one is good!

[thejesman]

@sierota77 *rolls eyes* So I'm guessing "hipster" is the new "emo" then? We finally get rid of one pointless label just so we can torture ourselves with another one.

[atwarwithsatan27]

165 personas son unos IMBECILES

[Tanya37red]

I cannot believe they have been around 20 years and this is the first i have ever heard of them . They are amazing musicians !

[ElemantraOfficial]

[magentalane27]

Atsuo is the man.

[Simplyfil88]

makes me really happy my name is Boris :)

[TheKnives777]

Wata is so sexy with her "i don't give a shit i rock this hard" look on her face

[Madmarioni]

sludge metal and stoner japanese yeahhhh ROCK AND ROLL XD

[farcio79]

@Geisttanzer np.. matter of taste :)

[Zweulf]

Atsuo is my idol.

[Robwearsglasses]

the opening solo is amazing, you don't know what the fuck yr talking about

[farcio79]

best japanese band ever

[Geisttanzer]

@farcio79 Don't be sacrilegious, Rallizes Denudes is the best Jap band ever

[Darrylizer1]

My new favorite band.

[bigpanthis]

pretty cool, reminds me a bit of 500 Feet of Pipe

[hojima]

beginning solo is mixed so badly....

[Retrovo23]

@hojima hahha that was the first thing i thought too! Lol it's waaay louder than it needs to be

[BeavisRevolution]

@hojima thats what Psyched out Japanese guitars sound like Br0

[Nekkiish]

Amen boris Amen!!!!! cllmll yeah!!!!

[KingVirmire]

i have a new favorite band

=P

[coolguitar123]

I just fell in love with the white noise of this song. Fuck I'm high

[MrSplatterPlatter]

Wata is soooo fine

[vacuumnoise]

amazing lead tone! so goood!

[wpunktmonsen]

Yeah: Rooaaack !!!

[wattsta07]

The most badass (and unenthusiastic) solo ever! How can you shred so hard and look so bored at the same time?

[AmpluexCompressa]

@wattsta07 Yeah, she really does look bored! Someone should tell her that she's the guitarist for Boris, that might get her to be a little more enthusiastic.

[thismakesmeveryangry]

@AmpluexCompressa Yeah, but Takeshi looks pretty bored too. Atsuo's having a whale of a time, though, by the looks of it...

[000theUnforgiven000]

@wattsta07 that is because they are not actually plugged in. In all music videos bands are rarely plugged in, they just pretend they are playing. Some cannot fake the entusiasm

[mrdanielsir]

@000theUnforgiven000

Have you ever seen them live? I think they try hard to look detached and unconcerned, it's part of their 'cool' stage persona. It makes it all the more effective when their stony facade is broken by the drummers whoops and screams :D BEST LIVE ACT I HAVE EVER SEEN

[lookout4kneegrows]

@mrdanielsir exactly right. saw them in austin wit pelican and teh mighty melvins

[Danorowski]

@wattsta07 It's called being "stoned"

[Guitarbro221]

@wattsta07 It's cause they're asian

[Heuchler52]

Actually, NOICCCE! =)

Reminds me of The White Stripes somehow, but under a totally different sauce.

I also dig their choice of axes.

[studi0robb]

camera focuses on wata's hands: "whoa! she's totally shredding that guitar!"

camera focuses on wata's face: "whoa. she's totally stoned."

[uiruu]

@The000Roy Then again, some (pop-punk, country-rock, christian-rock, etc.) deserve it. But I agree with you more than I disagree.

[FUCHRISTIANS69]

155 people accidently hit the dislike button because NO ONE hates Boris

[MyEggIsBoiled]

@FUCHRISTIANS69 As much as I despise these " this # of people hit dislike because..." comments, I really enjoyed this one haha.

[000MidnightSun]

boris kicks ass!

[waaryk]

Wata: 20 years of not giving a shit

[MustaineMyDaddy]

0:04 the drummer makes me laugh my ass off everytime

[karseb81]

WTF ERASE This Shit

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

@karseb81 erase your mama

[XkukolX]

i want that bass guitar

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

Wata is hot

[coetmor]

ABSOLUTE ZER0.

[boredtrophyhusband]

Wata is wearing a bumpit.

[TheTomWIlliams]

god Wata's ripping is awesome

[Grendelrex]

@4623534569 because they don't just play one kind of music, their early stuff was similar to Sunn, Earth, etc. The last(Japan only) of the three albums they put out this year is pretty much J-pop.

[lukeisareilly]

2:08-2:40 completes me

[farcio79]

i love this girl!

[TheRisingforce2000]

its cool but a little messy

[felchboy2011]

Sucks

[Grindfucker69]

omg this is so cool! damn they have to have gigantic balls! yes the girl too!

[lukeisareilly]

@Grindfucker69 Especially the girl!

[Holla1875150]

0:04 for a second, I thought he was flipping me off xD

[KronosTheDeejay]

I love you Wata.

[Zernobilly]

That chick gotta have a biggest dick from all chicks

[eleminator01]

lolbob

[lerk159]

АХАХАХАХА)))) Борис))) xD

[tempestjonny]

going to see them live tonight, Can't fuckin wait.

[tempestjonny]

@tempestjonny WAS IMENSE

[tempestjonny]

@tempestjonny WAS IMMENSE

[thismakesmeveryangry]

...damn, this was EPIC live. Best gig ever.

[Zweulf]

This is my ass being on freaking fire. Not music. My ass. On fire.

[MCKnUxXx]

This song rocks!!! I cannot stop playing this. Is this industrial rock?

[Tyroshimo9152]

@MCKnUxXx No. It's called music.

[MCKnUxXx]

@Tyroshimo9152 No I'm saying, there's different kinds of rock (i.e. Alternative, Heavy Metal, Acid, Industrial...etc) I'm asking what kind would this be?

[Utedoner]

@MCKnUxXx Chem rock; the distillation of rock until only the purest rock remains...

[MCKnUxXx]

@Utedoner Thank you!! Thats really interesting!! I really love this style!

[Ac220404]

@MCKnUxXx noise rock

[MCKnUxXx]

@Ac220404 LOL

[MrTimmyftw]

ow that guitar tone is hurting my ears...

[HikoSeijuroXIII]

Wata is my drone goddess.

[Ocarina654]

Sometimes I get in moods that only Boris can express. Listening to Boris while in those moods is a beautiful experience.

[felchboy2011]

I do like a good necro-felch, residue

[felchboy2011]

Wow they are so cool because they have a girl on guitar and they are from another country! Give me a fucking break. This is shit, you dildos...

[colonelkermit]

@felchboy2011 even if you told me that before I heard them for the first time on the radio it wouldn't have changed anything. these guys are fucking awesome.

[ViolentNeurosis]

@felchboy2011 After looking at your page, it looks like you watch videos of people getting eaten by sharks and you watched some more Boris videos just to bash them.

Did I bother to look further? Nah. I saw a snippet of your profile and summed you up. Much like you seem to have done here.

You keep mentioning their race, and the girl... so fucking what? Does that mean people overseas hated bands like Coal Chamber because there was a girl on bass? Nah, I think not. ;)

[felchboy2011]

Why do groups sell its souls to the devil and then still suck? Is it really worth it?

[residue102]

@felchboy2011 Lol? What? u idiot. U should stick to felching cum through a straw from a dead mans bum after necrophilia and less superstition. Damn christians.

[lukeisareilly]

@residue102 I find this comment easy to mastubate to

[ViolentNeurosis]

@residue102 Felching cum... hah... he should just start the first Christian Bukkake site.

[ViolentNeurosis]

@felchboy2011 Why do idiots like you have to bash a band because you don't like the music? Either shut the fuck up or find a solid reason to debate, but I don't see anything about anyone 'selling their souls'. And who are YOU to say what sucks?

[Keithisill]

This is rad stuff dudes.

[unleashed2rage]

hm... i like :)

i found Church of Misery awesome, so i guess i look these guys up.

[warlordzephyr]

Boris will always divide opinion for as long as they refuse to be labelled, which is hopefully forever, fearless sonic exploration is thier trademark.

[esoretal]

OH MY GOD I'M IN LOVE

[DoRinc100]

so japaneese XDDDD

[residue102]

@MustaineMyDaddy Hahaha. Everybody spam flagged you. I get u tho. Kind like alchemists turning metals into gold. Hahaha. They made good sounds too

[rossoor]

aaaah my ears my ears!! Its horrible this kinda crap shouldnt be allowed!!

[carlbags666]

clonk! clonk! clonk! waaaahhhhhhhhhwooooowwwweeeeee­eeeeeeeee! awesome!

[stevenelonich29]

1,267 people are pretty much retarded. I saw this band live. They're absolutely horrid.

[MyNinjaPersona]

@stevenelonich29

I don't believe BORIS was opening for slipknot or another shitty band like them, so would you tell me why the fuck a little faggot like you were at their show?

[Emptywordsv]

@stevenelonich29 Haha yeah, Dave Days is good music. If you think the ones who hear this are retarded, then there's 50% of the music industry is retarded? If you can't appreciate a music gender, and if you don't want to look like an assface (if), then don't criticize it. I would never criticize Contemporary music for instance, since I wouldn't know what that music is about.

Haha I would like to see your opinion on some heavier bands. Are they retarded too because of the music being heavier? lol

[Blamepandora85]

You're wrong! No you're wrong! You're an idiot! No you're an idiot! Jesus people. Would you just shut up and realize my opinion is the only one that matters?

[uiruu]

@Blamepandora85 You just summed up the entire internet.

[Blamepandora85]

Quit arguing about the validity of their shit as music. It's fucking noise. Soul crushing heart wrenching spirit shattering noise. My neighbor Satan is good... Great even... For 2 minutes... Then they seem to realize they're actually playing music and decide to puncture your fucking ear drums.

[baddad59]

It's simple..BORIS FRIGGI"N ROCKS !!!!! Period..

[Graviton11492]

@wraith2030 You think The Faceless, Periphery, and Veil of Maya are structurally simple? What exactly is your definition of simple? This shitty ass Boris song is your standard verse/bridge/chorus bullshit. There is no structure whatsoever, while the bands I listed hardly ever repeat a riff, and if they do, it's varied in some way. I doubt you've ever listened to any of those bands, because if you have you'd realize how fucking retarded you sound.

[lukeisareilly]

@Graviton11492 This song isn't really about being complex, I dont think, I mean I think this song is just supposed to be good fun(which in my opinion it is). Boris is a really versatile band though, and this song isn't even nearly representative of what they stand for. Music doesn't have to be super technical to be good, and conversely just being super-technical doesn't make a band good, you could have the best players in the world but after a dozen derivative riffs it all begins to sound alike

[TheCiscoKid17]

The solo-ing is really bad. Good concept, poor execution.

[gordonshitybum]

hey there Jwc4. "heavy" is a button in a studio now, so "heavy" has no relevance now (u guys also fucked up with the goatees and the leg tats -is that u Jwc4). So there`s the memo. Go for `"feeling`"

[kollee]

sambal bij?

[grandtheftautocj]

Awesome, but...

Needs more cowbell!

[WhsPianist]

Graviton is going on rock and metal videos just to be a troll, Ignore his Prick ass....

[crocoscar1993]

Graviton11492 your behaviour is so typical of a teenager lacking self confidence who has just discovered a new music style he can use to impress or despise other people ... one of the reasons i got tired of tech death metal is this whole pretentious "i'm better than you because i listen to/make ultra-complex music" faggot attitude surrounding the actual music (which is awesome) ... grow up, there is some really wonderful stuff you need to discover among all this altrock hipster bullshit :)

[JayWC4]

@Graviton11492 Hmmm... maybe you're not entirely certain what the word heavy means?

[Graviton11492]

@JayWC4 This is not anything close to heavy. This is some shit they play on vh1. If you think this is heavy, you need to get out of the house more. I've heard heavier shit at little league games.

Try some necrophagist, or some nile, those are heavy bands. Or if you'd prefer more modern up and coming heavy bands, maybe Periphery or Veil of Maya, or the Faceless.

Don't talk about music if you're too ignorant to know the terminology.

[airpiratevyse4]

@Graviton11492 Listen to Boris' album "Amplifier Worship" and then try saying they aren't heavy.

[jacobromu]

@Graviton11492 As if those wanky djent bands are even close to as heavy as Boris. Boris is the loudest thing in Japan.

[Graviton11492]

@jacobromu The only Djent band I mentioned is periphery. None of those other bands have a djent sound. Veil and the Faceless are more melodic/progressive death metal and Necrophagist and Nile are straight technical deathmetal. Boris is crappy indie rock. And being the loudest thing in Japan doesn't really mean shit. I mean who do they have to beat? Dir en Grey? Please, Japanese music is pathetic.

[BloodAndThunder00]

@Graviton11492 So Boris is now a hipster band? Are you kidding me? This isn't death metal. At all. This is rock. But Boris is everything. Everything from Noise, Drone to Sludge. Calling them hipster is just a ridiculously ignorant comment.

[TwoPointsUp]

The Orange amps sound good..the song, too..

[tuiti87]

im in love

[12inchvertical]

i'm sure its supposed to be that way, but that atonal soloing just sounds like someone who doesn't know how to play the guitar to me

[soundenterprise6]

So many people gettin' mad in the comment section, meanwhile no one gives a shit and this video is sick

[wsellars1018]

you BOTH need to take a hit of this jeffery and calm down!

[manwhassup1]

Orange Amps! Awesome.

[lukeisareilly]

I have never air-guitared non-ironically in my life

That trend ends today

[fosponomot]

the most hardcore rocking japanese guy of all time is either the lead guitarist of the polysics or the bass player from cyco le cemu. what does it have to do with this? you tell me.

[LegledTrepteg]

High Rise anyone?

[mfpole]

@LegledTrepteg I appreciate the High Rise shoutout, but you'd have to say they are at least three levels louder than this, no?

[ohiho1010]

It actually takes TRUCKLOADS of talent to make Orange Amps sound as terrible as they do!

[ProdigalSin]

Great Band ! & WATA IS SMOKING HOT !!!

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

not bad

[roystenvasey]

Guitar tone is beyond delicious.

[MeatPole6]

@roystenvasey Yeah, I agree, ooh baby i like it raw

[suckmyyogurtcannon]

my indie cred is going through the roof!

[Damnated6mil]

Japanese version is better (メッセージ).

[xPsuedo]

@SirEndofna

and melt-banana. and mass of the fermenting dregs. and rin toshite shigure.

[LemmYFRT]

what.......the.........fuck

[SirEndofna]

Hope they are still alive :p

[LesDots]

Ce serait tellement classe si le batteur n'en faisait pas des caisses...

[serumclx]

wow if this band spoke English fucking huge

[Nonikailol]

@MasterLiaoHuaOfShu It's just that the tone really rips my ears, otherwise the song is great. All musicians have their shortcomings and everyone has different opinions. I don't think rainbow is THAT bad, but the tone is definitely... off.

[Nonikailol]

I would love this song if the solo tone wasn't so HORRIBLE

boris for life though!!!!

[RENN357]

@Nonikailol

horrible tone is kinda the point with these guys.

make your fucking ears crumble out of your head.

[SuperSustainer]

rawwrrrrrrrr

[Sanisaninja]

boris have got three albums out this year...

FUCK YES.

[Dogofwarno7]

makes me wanna learn Japanese just to know what the fuck their singin

[TheMovieGuysOnline]

Scott Pilgrim would love this band.

[OMGITSL33TGUY]

I know I's be trollin' right here...but let me say this: Some people listen to Boris and some people listen to proper Stoner/Doom/Drone/Desert...oh well, to each their own. I can't say I'm impressed.

...let the flaming commence.

[thejesman]

@OMGITSL33TGUY ...And some people listen to both. Lol dude, if you don't dig this, it's fine. But when you start making a distinction between "proper" and "improper" anything, then you may be taking things a little too seriously.

[Magma541]

@OMGITSL33TGUY

You don't decide what is considered "proper". You are probably one of those people that thinks their musical taste is superior to everyone else.

[thekidwiththefa]

@OMGITSL33TGUY I'd definitely say that Boris has some "proper" stoner/doom/drone. Definitely not this song though.

[HammarHeart]

@OMGITSL33TGUY ...and then there are some people who know the difference between desert rock, drone music, and doom metal.

but your post is doubly invalid because this song is none of those things. thank you, come again, faggot.

[nonicknamekid2010]

@HammarHeart Its all rock and roll this subgenre shit is getting ridiculous, especially in the metal community

@nonick
