Wolf Parade - I'll Believe In Anything (Live at CMJ 2005)

[doctorfuse007]

I like how the melody is in 12/8 time, but the drums are in straight-ahead 4/4 rock beat (if it were Stravinsky they'd call it 'polyrhythm').

Jeez I miss this band...

[OdyleRULES69]

I love the song but i'm not feeling it live

[TheCrasshole]

This song was on a mixtape a girl gave me a while back. I miss her.

[BluesGuitarJam]

if anybody is ripping on them for getting to into it, would you rather see a band that just stands on the stage and plays, or would you rather see a band who has a bunch of energy and puts heart into their show?

[dvdjames21]

I think they are just feeling it....Amazing song

[clawdagger000]

LOOOOOOOOOL that singer looked like he could faint or puke all over his microphone any second XD

[slimedude99]

As much as I love this song, I just don't think this performance sounds good.

[TheLunchBawx]

I love all kinds of music, from metal to this and to kanye west. Music is music

[ekelsey4]

@TheLunchBawx Kanye isn't music, HE'S THE GENIUS OF OUR GENERATION

[weezerman2002]

@ekelsey4 Yeah he proved that at Bonnaroo when Pearl Jam put him in his place

[1Tanate]

They are not retarded, or idiots or anything, they are just epileptic. Get over it and enjoy the thingy.

[GRAMMARFTW]

sorry I absolutely love Wolf Parade and I'm prepared for the inevitable slating but this performance looks like all the band have Down Syndrome. Cringe worthy.

[WrongHandLane]

@GRAMMARFTW It's called passion

[kimowasabe]

Get back together you stupid dicks --I mean fucking really.

[loren21473]

awsome

[loren21473]

this is awsome shit

[Alexxaozm96]

Wow, Ifuckin'loveit! c:

[snakevillefilms]

metal tries to look cool, where indie just is cool without trying

[zacher1212]

great crazy how much energy goes in to there music

[PickledPorpoise]

The guitarist kinda reminds me of Sid viscous :)

[TVFMG365]

Everybody shut up. First of all, never compare slayer to these men. Secondly, these guys are doing what they love.. and I love it too. Who cares if they become super famous or sign to a big label? Listen to the music.

[flashdance63]

shut up and listen

[BrGut6323]

this song is awesome. go indie!

[MochaBlendedFun]

They remind me so much of Modest Mouse.

[Hellagoodedie]

not so much for me but both are excellent bands. respect 4 canadas music act

[SaneLunacy]

@MochaBlendedFun Wolf Parade does? Really I don't see that at all. Although Isaac Brock did produced Apologies.

[MochaBlendedFun]

@SaneLunacy I don't really listen to any of this stuff much, so you probably have a better ear for the differences between them.

[s13cgrahams]

@MochaBlendedFun Well Isaac Brock did discover them... but Wolf Parade defiantly in my opinion doesnt sound anything like MM

[circavicarious]

What does he say/sing at :28 secs

[goonicorn21]

he's saying "give to me your eyes"

[joshsanchez21]

I like the strange improved keyboard thing at the beginning. I highly doubt Spencer has specific notes in specific orders for that part. But, I could be wrong. Simple listening skills indicate it's different from the studio recording. In no good or bad, though.

[jTime85]

hey guy's this video is insane They sound almost exact to the record at first I thought the performence was matched with the cut from the record great stuff I can't wit to see them at a show!!! cheers!

[eggrollz4u]

is the drummer also the drummer of health?

[checkyoguns]

what guitar is boekner playing?

epiphone?

[ecto24]

you'd think so, if you get a picture of the headstock you'd see that there is an epiphone sticker over a jay turser logo. it's actually a jay turser jt-134QMT; with a few modifications.

[factorlabel]

I just can't get over Spencer's voice. <3

[xxbattery21xx]

i truly believe indie kids have more passion than any other labeled teenager. with music like this going through our heads, our imagination becomes limitless, and our ability to just break out with pure power becomes as simple as taking a piss. it is somewhat incredible.

[OliveLuxx]

okay i suppose to outside people i could be labeled as an "indie kid". but you are exactly the reason why i hate "indie kids" sometimes. you think you're soooooo artsy and great, well GUESS WHAT, you may have good music taste, but that doesn't mean you're better. stop being so self-righteous. same goes out to anyone who thinks the same. FUCK YOU just enjoy the music. you're not impressing anyone.

[xxbattery21xx]

nobody thinks they are better. i certainly dont. but look at the guitarist in this video. the power he's just throwing out there is incredible. you cant get that with anything else. being an "indie kid" is nothing more than a label but if you acquire that label, you probably have a great deal of passion to exert.

[misunderstoodog]

That is an absurd statement. I do agree that these guys have an amazingly inspiring amount of energy and passion. You've got that right, but first of all, labels do nothing but set limits, so to acquire a label is like fitting a stereotype. Second: I completely disagree that Indie music the only music exerting this much passion. I think it's less about the genre and more about the artist because there are so many indie bands that suck. Same with any genre.

[misunderstoodog]

oh by the way, this is directed to battery21

[bababu7]

@misunderstoodog

kind of agree.

sometimes though labels can give meaning, direction, refinement. You can say a singular title/label is limiting but people like Bjork, among others, are given multiple title/labels that at times are seemingly contradictory in itself.

At times. There is a lot of power in a name and a lot to be said for one.

[misunderstoodog]

@bababu7

To a certain extent, but nothing is more powerful than being known by your own name. You could be called the weirdest Hip Hop/Punk/Reggae/Folk type of artist, but it's still just a crude/limiting way of describing who YOU are.

[mlaunder]

there's a big difference between indie followers, and elitists. OliveLuxx got it right. Fuck you, just enjoy the music.

[TheBSG]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[patrickritsma]

sick band, lol guitarist looks trippy

[cronoyuha]

why the fuck are metal heads arguing here with indie kids

[indierocker1000]

@cronoyuha lol metal is so gay. haha it's for like 12 year olds who think their music is cool because It's loud hahaha.

[snakevillefilms]

@cronoyuha because according to metalheads, if you dont shout, do cringing guitar thrusts, dress exactly the same and show no individuality in both music and personality then your a pussy....fuck metalheads

[mazakiel]

I like both metal and indie. I could school anyone on knowledge about both types of music. I think metalheads just dislike hipsters. . .those pretentious assholes that only like this music because it's below the radar not because it's great

[harrybeatdown]

wolf parade! :D

[zachp03]

Joey250 shut up.

your an idiot.

[joey250]

perhaps, but no one will ever love you whereas i can learn from textbooks.

[dustspirit]

Making music that has texture and evokes a feeling is what makes it art - I question highly if Slayer or any other noise metal band can evoke anything other than rage. If that's what you want then listen to it - I'm not a 15 year old boy however; so, I would like more to my music than that :-)

[waitingforthegift]

always enjoy listening to this song. . .its good to hear something different

[wisteria24]

this is utter awesomeness.

[papertigersss]

you guys are stupid.

if you don't like it then don't listen fags.

you can't compare wolf parade to slayer at all. Two totally different bands.

[jeffmacleod85]

PS - i enjoy this band

[ePhilosopher]

slaps and slayer at the midnight double feature picture show

[YouAy]

Hey guys, get this: I listen to Wolf Parade /and/ Finntroll. :|

[indiemojoe]

wierd I prefer the live performance, probly coz I just discoved the band on last fm and havent let the recorded song compltely wash over me yet..yet

[noalarmsnosurprises]

I love Wolf Parade, but this is godawful. The singer can't keep up with the way-too-fast tempo, he fucks up the words, he can't hold the notes, everything is mixed awfully, you can barely hear anything...for shame.

[r0b0r]

It also doesn't make him cool to get on the floor while palm muting, then getting up and playing chords.. anyone can do that.

[pnies]

I just listened to two songs by Sex Machineguns in their entirety. Wow. Sad, really. This stuff was tired in the late eighties metal scene. Now it's just pathetic. Same old predictable tempos, lyrics, chorus, etc. Doing something retro doesn't make it original or groundbreaking. Many wouldn't listen to it cuz they got it out of their systems a couple decades ago. You're 18-years-old, aren't you?

[r0b0r]

You have no taste in music, so go continue to listen to your micheal bolton you fruit. Besides Pantera was a better band. I mean this cover is horrible.. if you can't appreciate that, I could play you a whole bunch of songs that would absolutely kill this band. They will never get signed singing and playing that way. You and I both know it. Besides, this music is tired.

[sadpandaclub]

well i am sure he'll hate to hear that u don't think he's cool

[r0b0r]

He probably already knows it.. I bet he's been playing guitar for 2 years tops. Takes a whole hell of a lot more than that to compete with the likes of real music (Pantera, Mastadon, and just about new metal bands--which have all taken Pantera's lead)

[sadpandaclub]

those shity 80's hair metal bands suck cock and have no substance whatsoever, how can u compare that shit to a real band. there music could have just as easily have been composed by a machine "i just can't live

another day

there's no other way

Girl

You're the biggest part of me

I need you back in my arms

Girl" sounds like an emo backstreet boys.

[sadpandaclub]

there music is so fucking childish and played out, they never did anything new, it's fucking boring and annoying all the shit u listed. don't even talk about Wolf Parade. oh and all those new metal bands that have taken pantyeras lead r even more trite pathetic, playing the same crap over and over doesn't make u talented

[joey250]

you sir, are a cunt

[sadpandaclub]

aww, better a cunt then a dick (well maybe not for u)oh and it's ma'am you little needle dick mother fucker. hahah,anyway u know everything i say about those pathetic little hair bands is true, wolf parade may not have mainstream appeal but thats only because the majority of people r total douche bags all u need to get signed is A. Big tits, or B. have your nuts cut off and say "oh girl" ever 3 seconds... oh or u can pretend to be a rebel,and sing about how sad u r.

[koollkatt1]

LOL amen!

[HelloSolo]

i disagree with everyone... this performance kicks ass!!! and his voice is awesome

[gilachode]

yah

you know your kick ass when the live performance is just about as awsome if not more

[r0b0r]

If this is what they sound like live, then it will take a whole group of studio people to actually make it sound GOOD.

[iamthepinkylifter]

this is one of my favorite songs in the world, but this perfomance sucks. now i know never to see wolf parade live.

[aboynamedtim]

you are wrong. i saw them live. they were amazing.

[iamthepinkylifter]

seeing as this performance (and my comment) is over two years old, i don't doubt you. they've probably had a lot of time to improve.

[iamthepinkylifter]

whoops, make that four.

[pievik]

the crowd is retarded

[chagspop]

there is a song under all these weird noises. or it's something in my head?

[r0b0r]

I hope these guys aren't signed.. THEY SUCK! Anyone who would actually listen to this needs to have their head examined!

[Slothuny]

You're ghey, get your head checked please.

[waitingforthegift]

it sound bad in the beginning but its really catchy. gonna have a eye for em

[Zorgdos]

LiamMalakian you favourited an Oasis video. You have zero credibility.

[b00sh]

I have to say, these guys rock and so does Zorgdos. Go you, man, about time someone stood up to stupid people that are being stupid(well of course) and don't know good talent/music.

[sssllloooaaannn]

Haha

[Zorgdos]

Wow someone named Slayerfan27 saying this hurts his ears? Ironic. Sorry the song isn't about dragons and reigning in fire death and blood. When you grow up and out of your low-brow metal maybe you'll appreciate interesting/good music and writing.

[r0b0r]

This is hardly good or interesting.. I will tell you that your taste in music is horrible, you have joined the 1% of the population that can actually tolerate this crap!

[pnies]

You are amazing. Your taste in music must not be horrible.

Stick to mainstream, supergeek.

[r0b0r]

I hardly think sex machineguns is mainstream.. retard. Stick to your emo bull shit.

[slayerfan27]

you are funny, but slayer isnt the only band iam listening to, there are thopusands of people listening to slayer, because they are great, if this band will make it this far, i will say sorry

[sadpandaclub]

there are thopusands of people listening to good charlotte and britney spears. that doesn't really mean much

[slayerfan27]

but i hope you agree with me, slayer made better music

[sadpandaclub]

slayer sucks (or maybe there i just hate that kind of music) but yes they r way better then good charlotte or britney spears. not wolf parade

[LiamMalakian]

It's bored they live...in a hospital?

[slayerfan27]

sorry but this song sucks my ears hurts

[GripitandRipit2]

umm if your ears hurt then you cant handle good music go home

[slayerfan27]

ohhh man i can handle good music, believe me

[r0b0r]

I'm with you there, if this is what it sounds like live.. THEY SUCK! Pop music is going downhill and a whole new wave of metal is hitting the scene. Besides, tell the poster who is flaming you for hating tired shitty music, that THEY SUCK!

[r0b0r]

You have no taste in music, that is why you like this tired crap. It sucks, I'm not the first, nor shall I be the last to say it. Horrific cover of a shitty song in the first place.

[hardluckedge]

experimental joy, it comes together in a song, to bad of the singer's voice .... sorry

[styxxknemesis]

styxxknemesis kills this video with krazikool

[seanleegallagher]

this is really gay/cool/awesome. couldn't decide til the end that this is a pretty cool song. it's so fucking weird tho.

[were3months]

The editing of this video almost makes the song listenable.

[benno50]

that singer annoys me, they r a good band but not the sort of music i'ld listen to.

[r0b0r]

I don't think it's the sort of music many would listen to..

[pnies]

I just listened to two songs in their entirety. Wow. Sad, really. This stuff was tired in the late eighties metal scene. Now it's just pathetic. Same old predictable tempos, lyrics, chorus, etc. Doing something retro doesn't make it original or groundbreaking. Many wouldn't listen to it cuz they got it out of their systems a couple decades ago. You're 18-years-old, aren't you?

[r0b0r]

Close, 21, but I am into the metal scene.. and your right, this music sounds tired.. if not worn out. He says, "No body gives a damn," he couldn't be closer to the truth!

[supercoolryan1212]

his guitar sounds out of tune, but still great stuff

[fizikfizik]

I did'nt like it. They have a soul they are different but they haven't a real music.

[TickleElmo]

I didn't understand any of that.

[pen39]

im commenting

[paralapse]

they create a great atmosphere, truly great

[Schoomdaddy]

Friggin' awesome!

[wellallsnotwell]

[Pucki]

love it love it~duno why but it does really cheer me up~

[brianraderstorf]

[distinkt]
