Silversun Pickups -- Future Foe Scenarios

[postalfreeek]

IT'S REVOLUTION, BAYYYBY!!!!

[telhacerta]

I've known this band for 2 days and I really thought that a girl was the lead singer.

[konoha1993]

nikki might not be the hottest girl ever, but i really love the way she plays the bass. :)

[asteve121]

@konoha1993 nikki is the hottest girl i've ever seen.

[KURTCOBAINMYHERO]

make a Mtv UNPLUGGED ¡¡¡

[PeTeR18M]

@KURTCOBAINMYHERO they already did, in 2009

[skyskratcher1]

Love this band :)

[drpeppa2357]

My favorite indie band to date.

[glass30]

WOW! Great acoustic piece! "Future Foe Scenarios" is a top song from Carnavas (on your own, a brilliant album)

[eric4184]

its all about chemistry between band mates, they got it most the time, but they do fall out a little here, i dont know why

[MzJollett]

Thiz band iz great..doez anyone kno how to meet them personally or meet juz brian.or get an autograph???

[Extention6]

@MzJollett

yes

[MzJollett]

@Extention6 howw???

[GKhero2]

@MzJollett go back in time and meet them at a smaller venue. They're actually really nice people, i got to talk with Nikki and Brian. As a guitarist it was just sweet to talk to a guy who is so unique and comfortable with the instrument.

[doodlin17]

this song is awesome;acoustic!

[rohiogerv22]

Drummer doesn't know how to do an acoustic show. Great aside from that.

He needs to learn to use brushes or do a pattern with snares off. Snare-on-stick blows through an acoustic and is distracting.

[lSnowBlindl]

lol, stupid kid.

[rohiogerv22]

And I suppose you know what you're talking about? How long have you been playing drums? Can you play something other than 2 static Hi-Hat/Snare loops per song? If so, you're as good as this drummer. I don't care if your obsessed with his "sick" riffs because he knows how to do a 2 on 3 rhythm, once you get past his coordination, which is reasonably impressive, his actual performance is lacking. I'll consider your insult valid when I hear YOUR song.

[lSnowBlindl]

lol, i"ve been playing drums for 2 years and i can play most of their songs, but music doesnt have to be difficult to play just to sound good.

this band is amazing,

my opinion.

[rohiogerv22]

Not saying it has to be difficult to sound good, and this is a great band, I have both their CDs and the reason I was checking out their shows was because they are good. But acoustics and all-out drumming still don't mix. I'd like to refer you to 99 Floors by Smashing Pumpkins for how drums SHOULD be played to acoustic. This isn't bad, but it could just be better adapted to the setting. Good to hear you know your opinions are actually opinions. The "lol, stupid kid" comment seemed to be contrary

[prsshred39]

he does what's needed, and it sounds fine in this situation. if you want insane drumming look up some crazy metal or jazz, not indie/rock/whatever the official genre for this now

[rohiogerv22]

Im just saying in this particular case, his drumming is "in the way", at least in my opinion. He should have altered the part knowing that he would overpower in an acoustic set imo.

[prsshred39]

that i agree with.

when it's an acoustic set everything changes, i'm thinking brushes would have worked well here

[eric4184]

its not an acoustic show, everyone is plugged in

[doodlin17]

this is my favorite silversun pickups song...

its awesome!!!

[tetriscles]

I love this song so much. Always have.

[doodlin17]

i like the whole verse before the ending...its super powerful!

[joeyjokester]

i love how their songs are so intense. the inspiration, the passion, the intense playing, the insane solo's. OMG brian is amazing. Nikki- such an awesome bass player (and that is sooo hott). chris rocks so hard. he is so amazing. he just makes me wish i was asian, and joe those effects amazing. distortion, reverb, etc., they add so much to the music. you are amazing. omg. I love SSPU soooo much. they are sooo inspiration, and amazing. I can't wait for them to come back to seattle!

[KookieKaiser]

Im not going to like on a scale of 1 to 6 the bass player is a 4 but there is something about a chic in a band that brings her up to a 9 man

[hugwhore115]

is it me or does everyone else want to give them a hug?

[ix3y0uhh]

i love how he says "this revolution baby" right in the beginning of the song, like he jsut puts emotion in it even when they're live, i love it!

[LosersHaveMoreFun]

idk why, but i love the part where he goes "its revolution, baby!"

[LanceJeter34]

IK me2!!

[nirvanapsycho88]

yeah that parts awesome

[cobain93]

he says "this revolution baby, shows who you work for lately" but still a great line either way. brian is truley a masterful poet.

[LosersHaveMoreFun]

yeah i figured that out a while after i posted that but was too lazy to change it.... and he totally is i love all of his music <3

[ktsITTE]

no he clearly says "this revolution baby, proves who you work for maybe. who do you work for maybe and does it work for you lately"

[Ilovepieandchips]

@LosersHaveMoreFun Me too man, been stuck in my head ever since I heard the song.

[mrguitarguy01]

@LosersHaveMoreFun

The scream sounds bad ass.

[HorvathsGirl]

@LosersHaveMoreFun One of my fave parts as well!

[MasterJuancho]

@LosersHaveMoreFun it's "THIS revolution, baby"

[LosersHaveMoreFun]

@MasterJuancho yeah I realized that a while after I posted it, but i can't really change it =P



[Jenpen311]

I think the studio did a fabulous job at making his vocals sound good to listen to. He is good in the lower ranges live but he can't/will not do the vocals at the same intensity that are on the album. A bit of a dissapointment.

[Grunge00125]

thats just this performance. ive seen them live, he actually sounds much better.

[mistahxdaniel]

this is true, I was awestruck when i saw them live, literally could not close my jaw. It was also that night that I realized vocals are a very important part of a band (being a guitarist I always placed more importance on the instruments ;) )

[musicrocks36]

ugh...i wish he would do the yelling in higher voice..

[grandtheft480]

what is the point of the guy in twiddling knobs? i mean i can understand when they do like crazy effects but this time...i dunno what he was doing. Does anyone know?

[mikeholst86]

prob has to regulate alot of the different sound volumes

[patjkelley]

he is playing the keyboard also.

[erad67]

If you read some of their comments on their homepage they say he does a lot. Various sounds that most people are actually coming from other instruments and so on.

[neonboo]

It's unclear on this recording but he does background sounds during this song that are almost bleepy noises. :p You can hear them more clearly at other live recordings of this song, but they're really there.

[screwthestatusquo]

bells, whistles and cherries on top

[Grunge00125]

hes their electronics guy. he creates alot of their effects. and he plays keyboard. on their Pikul EP he does alot, and he makes an atmospheric sound on Swoon. but on Carnavas they basically edit him out of alot of he songs. go watch live recordings and u should be able to hear him.

[popatire23]

yeah, it seems like he was only in rusted wheel.

i mean, i know hes in there, but hes really fuckin quet

[Grunge00125]

yeah. well on their EP he does alot but idk about carnavas. nd on swoon, hes bascially non existant.

[ilookatyourshoes]

ya this is a great performance.

[lucillenpineapple]

best song ever!

[LukaaaasMusic]

hey what about stairway to heaven ?

no I know what you mean, it is great

[SORShamrock128]

Amazing

[TBMFF]

Wow, they are good live.
