Lightning Bolt - Live In Tokyo

[RyanCorpse]

SNIX SNIX SNIX

[DeadCowboy7]

at one point it sounds like hes saying "its all the same to you"

[MrAMongoose]

I would punch anyone in their fucking soul if they think LB is sloppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeadCowboy7]

whats the name of this song

[MehMehBear]

Chippendale is so fucking crazy.

[beaubstaudinger]

I would give my left nut an arm half of my liver my first born child and all of my pokemon collection to be that guy in the red shirt next to chippendale

[badbrains115]

@shaffism: ligntning bolt is lightning bolt. i still haven't heard anything like them, so they get their very own genre.

[badbrains115]

@shaffism: ligntning bolt is lightning bolt. i still haven't heard anything like them, so they get their very own genre.

[DISSODANTS]

if this has to be explained to someone...than no explanation is really necessary.

[4dharm]

holy shit, look at chippendale's right hand at approx. 01:09 ...

[Theindo17]

epic...period

[Myuzishin]

Pure crap.

[ThisMeansWitchery]

@Myuzishin Pure awesomeness.

[gorgeous6666]

also, fuck you gunlover19112, you bigot fuck, same goes to you

[gorgeous6666]

@metal4deth one. you spelled 'death' wrong. two. if you can ever take your head out of your ass for minute and realize how many types of music exists, you'd probably learn to appreciate this more. i love this band and have seen them live, and i bet you aint never seen a drummer as fast or precise as Brian Chippendale. (besides Zach Hill) this band represents raw power in small numbers and what can be done between two friends with passion and drive. original, yes/ powerful, yes/ shit?, fuck you

[DSand8269]

Is this a song they made up on the spot?

[SuperClamPerson]

@DSand8269 nope it's called on fire

[jamesdaubek]

the band should b called brian & brian

[turtledeerbirdinsect]

Brian Gibson is pretty fucking good as well. Shame Chip gets all the attention.

[jabahut1]

This is not for just anybody, you start to dissect the music your just missing the point. We need crap like this because it sounds different. After a while it grows on you.

[douchebagitable]

Lightning Bolt is great. I love them for all the reasons I can't stand bands like Dream Theater. I find DT over calculated and lacking soul.  I find LB's music soulful and absolutely inspiring. Joyful noise.

[JediSange]

I don't like this drummer at all. He has trouble with volume and technique. He's sloppy and it's just sad. If you want to get better, learn the basics and progress... learn from Neil Peart.

[Charactarantula00]

you're missing the point. what you perceive as sloppiness is intentional, that's just the kind of music that lightning bolt make. it isn't aiming to be precise or beautiful (at least, not conventionally), it's intense and noisy. and fucking magnificent.

[JediSange]

I disagree. I've seen performances of this song several times... the drummer is a different kind of "sloppy" all the time. I don't view that as intentional.

Further more, for "intense" drummers, you should turn your views to Dream Theater stuff. Their drummer is great, and talented... not just a kid who likes noise.

[lostfeelinggonegone]

Clearly, your rendering of art is quite focused.

Mike P. is a great drummer in his own right, where you begin to compare the two I don't understand.

There's a million drummers that make a sound like Dream Theater, which I find ordinary and melodramatic.

Plus have you seen LB live?

Have you ever had Sloppy sex?

I view LB as more original and creative.

But that's coming from a kid who sees and hears music as more than a noise...you see?

[sliver321123]

@Charactarantula00

It is precise...

You're a buttface.

[gunlover19112]

@Charactarantula00 Original yes, good not really. With only 2 band members there is not much coordination and the guitar stuff is too easy, its just some crap effects and a bunch of pull offs.

[metal4deth]

@gunlover19112 music is about what SOUNDS good, not wither you spent 10 years whacking off on the guitar or not.

[gunlover19112]

@metal4deth Exactly so thatswhat these guys do whack off to this supereasy shit sounding effect flled crap.

[ThisMeansWitchery]

@metal4deth What you say is true. And to me Lightning Bolt does sounds good. We all have different opinions and tastes in music.

[sliver321123]

@Charactarantula00

It is precise, you doofus.

They're not just hitting random notes at random intervals, its still structured.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh forever.

[comedyman727]

@Charactarantula00 Truly sad that this is what music has become.

[DeadCowboy7]

@comedyman727 It's truly sad that you believe that this isn't music.

[misterbrand]

neil peart plays with the feel of a circusdrummer - this guy is cool ,... oh and by the way - talking about sloppy,

listen to some zappa-stuff (on jazz from hell f. i. ) - it is completly tight, but if someone doesn't know about it - it will sound very untight or unorganized to him (same counts vor Stockhausen or seriell music in general).

That guy doesn't need to learn from Neil Peart nor Mike Portnoy ...

[pfive]

hahahahahahahaha

[gwinters23]

I think you're missing the point, dumbass. I saw this guy live once and he's a fucking machine.

[antiherotnt]

Can the drummer see?

[blingbob]

Yes , he sad that the mask is to hide the face he does playng

[ericmsandoval]

That, and to hold his mic.

[tobyisgreat]

awesome. and brian chippendale is a lovely bloke as well.

[youthtuba]

Quel groupe, une vraie claque !!

[itscrawford]

bahaht the guy in the red shirt flails his arms when they start kicking ass (err more ass than usual)

[skarecrowster]

Would love to see these live!

[mannybeingdanny]

I would like to see Lightning Bolt and JEFF The Brotherhood set up across from each other playing back and forth for three hours. That must be what heaven is like.

I know some hater's gonna say that would be hell but I'll save you the trouble: see them live and you'll know.

[FSSAOF]

whats this song called?

[FERRIS58]

"on fire"

[samuelmichaud]

Yes "on fire" but the band should just be called "Lightning Bold and Good Sex"

Lightning Bold seems to only be half the description of their live experience.

[FillerGallery]

I just want to thank god for Lightning Bolt.

[jasonkrw]

Where was this show?

[Soccrmastr20]

tokyo lol

[jasonkrw]

Yeah dude, kinda figured. You know what venue?

[aaasamaaa]

shit christ, awesome.

[killerdynam0]

AZUNS LUV LB 2?!

[TGOC3]

Asians and white people have the best taste in noise!

[waxanimalparts]

who has better? pakistani's? lol

[TGOC3]

lolololololololoolololaosdkl roflmaoffo

[wambatvengence]

as much as I love these guys you can't help but laugh at the beautiful obsurdity of it all

[bigalke]

I heart Chippendale's singing voice.

[MrWowforever]

pure 100% power. YES!!!!yes!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!

[shaffism]

LB IS NOT NOISE! ITS POWER !!!!!

[loadyourhead]

ever hear any live Cream like spoonfull or I'm so glad Clapton ,bruce , and baker, are all just soloing and it sounds like noise this is the same in my opinion. this is just the future of music

[TGOC3]

ITS BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yescdust]

eyo wats tha name of this song kidds ???

[Noski1990]

On fire.

[Ikaruga68]

Is it true normally the only people who like noise is Japanese and American people?

[Ikaruga68]

Noise rock, that is.

[goopee]

no. ima canadian. but i would like to see some more european noise. it would be awesome.

[BAGADOOBLE]

no... im australian and i like it...

[Amc0203]

Fuck no! haha!

Irish/German and lovin' them!

[XDevonousX]

Why?

[orthopod666]

Well - lets see England has had many noise bands starting with Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle . Germany has had a bunch too, starting with Einstruzende Neubauten (sp?) 

So no.

[lordofthechin]

Japan and America (specifically Providence Rhode Island) are more well known for their noise bands. Don't get me wrong there are a ton of great ones around the world, but the more popular ones (Lightning Bolt, Arab on radar, melt Banana, Boredoms, ect.) tend to come from those areas.

just sayin

[applefrltter]

and the locust man. fuck i love the locust.

[SrDisorden]

The locust are from san diego... and they suck

[applefrltter]

well i didnt say anything about where they were from...but sorry you dont like them man its a shame. :/

[hatethismusic]

if they lost the post-hardcore elements and the jerry springer appearances, they wouldn't be bad.

it's mostly the jerry springer. sellouts.

[RiptorWillFuckYouUp]

they went on jerry springer as a joke... and didn't even promote the band aside from pearson wearing a shirt that nobody outside of the know would have noticed. dicking around on a television show and not mentioning your band doesn't make you a sellout...

[TheTrickery]

noise rock bands never do big shows..its annoying that its all so messy and DIY

[BAGADOOBLE]

wah thats whats so awesome about it :O

[eatenbrain]

sheep..

[gisk83]

tell me more brian...tell me more...

[Phunkman9]

Lol please use Gibson or Chippendale or something, I can't tell which Brian you peeps are talking bout.

[Bluestopsign]

good quality video man. nice

[koalalintu]

Go Brians! C and G are both amazing.

[gmista33]

both BRIAN!!

[orangecow]

Brian is the best. He is the better of the two. Know what I'm sayin'??????????????????????

[killerdynam0]

haha they're both Brian!

[DropBassNotBombs]

Brian's got mad foot chops

[Soap1]

Brian is a BEAST
