Protest The Hero - Sequoia Throne

[WolfyGames]

1:12 > is just an incredible showcase of Rods impressive vocal range.

[JesusManPowerKick]

one of the greatest bands ever

[tuuplis]

Is this Brandon Flowers' new project?

[IvonoftheGWF]

This singer has such ridiculous facial expressions, it's hilarious

This for some reason reminds me of someone, I kinda wanna say Judas Priest but I'm not sure, thats just the name I keep thinking of.

[851852093114208513]

@IvonoftheGWF - Freddie Mercury? That's what I'm getting from it... It could just be the mustache, though ;)

[Trywm]

I usually am not a fan of this kind of music, but damn. And their singer is amazingly talented.

[CrayfishInMyAnus]

thanks /b/ C:!

[igorpostpunk]

So technical!

Amazing!!! \m/

[ProvokingYoVillian]

a metal bass player who uses his fingers...yes :)

[MsiJoe2]

:o <3 

[0zqarshavin]

Ohh!! Yeaah!

[calebphillips91]

someone took that invisible arrow to the knee :/

[Calvin0135]

@calebphillips91 lol was gonan say that

[ArkangelMawwi]

1:00 Now I wanna play bass like that!

[jefffinley11]

Your video is a favorite on United States of America

[7MGi]

fuck off! this song is too short i want an extended version of 10 minutes

[conformiste1]

I think the part where the guys do music is awesome.

[TheBestSeries]

How the fuck!!!

[foreverloveless27]

It's to be played loud now peeps xD /m\

[FSPX11]

It's like the god of music is cumming in my ears.

[Shredin0id]

Steinberger BASS!!!!!!!!

[Sodgez123]

Moe Carlson isn't appreciated enough, fantastic drumming, very hard to do! Orgasmic riffs at the end :) Beautiful song!

[tsunami2011]

everytime you watch that bassist shoot an arrow, an adventurer took an arrow to the knee, this explains alot

[TLJCBFH]

@tsunami2011 HAHA

[JWSMusicPublishing]

I like the part where they play music.

[SIMBAAA45]

Base player is so cool.

[ayemjake]

1:08 he just shot someone an arrow to the knee.

[moviemaster8510]

I used to think this song sucked, then I took an arrow in the knee courtesy of Arif Mirabdolbaghi.

[UnderwhelmingPlywood]

@moviemaster8510 Seriously, just go lock yourself away in a mental institution. You're not fit to live amongst the rest of the human society.

[moviemaster8510]

@UnderwhelmingPlywood No no no. I love this band. It's just with the rise of "took an arrow in the knew" meme and the shot at 1:09, I had to do something there. Forgive me if I came out looking like a moron.

[UnderwhelmingPlywood]

@moviemaster8510 I don't care if you like the band or not. NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER USE THAT MEME EVER AGAIN

[murderbishop]

simplemente bestiales

[noobskinsonline]

greatest vocals ever hands down if u say otherwise u will forsure die.

[SOTYtheLou]

@noobskinsonline

i don't think he's the greatest ever but hes for sure one of the better vocalists

[raphaelppfn]

this is why canada kicks ass!!!!!!

[andrew141993]

Arif is a bass legend

[caiostrokes]

We need more bassists like Arif

[rexanator328]

"Protist the Hero" thats how i remembered part of the animal kindom in biology>_<

[0zqarshavin]

Mas que rifado!

[Xionei]

I need PtH to come to a town near me.

[RodrigoDarkorie]

i dig that they dont have to wear black t shirts and womans hair to play like that! gentlemans metal!

[RodrigoDarkorie]

@RodrigoDarkorie well some of them do have womans hair but then again i dig!

[FurlottiMy]

me gusta esta banda.

[AVENGEDSE7ENFOLD]

honestly i would listen to this band if it was just an instrumental band or if someone could direct me to some instrumental versions. im not bashing the dudes voice (by itself its incredible) and im not saying "ohmygod theres no growling or screaming i hate it." but i really think the instrumentals are drowned out and the vocals/any kind of voice dont/doesnt seem to fit. just my two cents...

[jshannon2k8]

@AVENGEDSE7ENFOLD

keep your change

[ButterIsntGood]

Can't wait to play with them when they come to Tucson :)

[EternalLunacy]

Whatever you do, DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT click the A Cappella Cover over in the side bar....

Told you so...

[Nevadatyler13]

Its amazng Warped Tour use to book awesome bands like this, Protest The Hero FTW\m/

[containsletteratoz]

i bought a steinberger spirit today largely because noone in new zealand has them, even more so because of this vid. gonna do the arrow thing at every gig

[tarhit9]

i met their singer when he was in high school. he mom still lives on my street and the three of us talked about books...

[HandRpuffin]

I like the singer's range. Weird video, but what the hell.

[containsletteratoz]

@HandRpuffin the video matches the lyrical concept... don't fear aliens etc fear ourselves (humans)

[johnhimura1000]

just heard about this band. and i say, they're music genius!

[Thermingt0n]

needs to be re-uploaded in decent quality.

[kharluh]

my remix. /watch?v=Ud_jfWbxs3c

[thecza12]

its such a fucking shame that Arif said he doesnt wanna write "stupid metal lyrics anymore" and lyrical duties are gonna be on rody from now on. Arif writes the most passionate and kickass lyrics....

[puppyy780]

This is the first song I've heard by this band, and I could easily get into this band. Great song, great voice, great music over all. I love it.

[ThisisnotElio]

Unfortunately...with the economy in the shape that its in, the price of invisible arrows has sky rocketed. Arif can no longer afford to shoot invisible arrows. It is a sad day for the world.

[ItsAllChaos]

@ThisisnotElio HAHAHAH xD oh well, as long as the economy doesn't affect talent, we'll be just fine ;)

Fuck, first song I'm hearing from this guys, this sounds so damn great o.o

[ThisisnotElio]

@ItsAllChaos They're amazing man! My favorite band.

[LordChannelTroll]

@ThisisnotElio but apparently, these invisible arrows travel through time, and hit adventureres in the knee region, sigh if only we could send our economical problems with these arrows, but now we're too poor, DAMN YOU MIDDLE EAST FOR OIL PRICES GOD FUCKING DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CathartikRequiem]

@ThisisnotElio he can also no longer afford to look like Prince.

[Tradjectory]

Canadas apology for bringing us Justin Beiber, Apology Accepted Canada

[Infor12]

@Tradjectory and Nickelback.... xD

[Tradjectory]

@Infor12 True that my friend xD

[KryptoGore]

Dislike this and I'll but rape your whole family faster then those guitar riffs!

[Secretsbeyondthegrav]

This band is the Protest The Hero of music.

[andthemushrooms123]

This band is almost like the Mars Volta gone metal.

[AntohinAndrej]

ARROW SHOT! BOOM!

[ADHDadditiv]

I love th song but can anyone tell me why its called squoia throne?

[hourigG24]

i look forward to the day where i can be the type of mother who would tell her kids "in my day, music was actually good" and make them listen to this.

[RobzFTW]

HE'S... SO... AWESOME!

[coyiababii]

omg my name is seqoiyiaaaa(:

hahah love this ssongggg(:

[IndraLala19]

NICEEEEEEE :D

[N1G7M4R3]

Epic band, that's all

[ISesseriI]

It still blows my mind that i found out about this song through Much Music.

[Himpnardy]

Look, they are melodic metal people. PTH > all these metalcore bands in america that are all factory made it seems. I swear all these metalcore bands sound the same today. Im so glad PTH doesnt fall into that mainstream bull that every other band is falling in to. All this dropped guitar crap and vocals that all sounds the same is getting old. PTH has more complexity than so many metalcore bands. Im seriously tired of these cookie cutter bands. They are crap and un-original.

[StopRunningKid]

@Himpnardy And yet they are the ones getting record deals. Those guys and the screamo-shit bands. They just keep on coming. Gosh, I'm only 17, but I can say that these kids are ridiculous when it comes to liking music. I swear that they must be on some pretty heavy drugs to not enjoy the good stuff. I'm surprised that I like PTH since they aren't in my typical genre's of music. They know how to get down though.

[Himpnardy]

I think the part where the guy does the arrow shot is awesome. Random. But awesome.

[LostTheGaaaaaaame]

@Himpnardy Its not random. But yeah, Its good.

[Djobohobo]

@Himpnardy it goes well with the bending note, so its not random

[grimriffer69]

@Himpnardy not even funny how much i wanted to say that lol

[markMills00]

@Himpnardy Though his technique was sub-par. lol

[saltyshoelace]

@Himpnardy Look up "Arif Mirabdolbaghi is lethal" on YouTube. You won't be disappointed.

[21Assasin]

@Himpnardy yeah Arif is a badass lol

[SicFuryUndead]

that guitars :)

[SwollenEize]

Easily my 2nd favorite song from Fortress, Bloodmeat and Limb from Limb tieing for 1st place.

[TheJonnyhudson]

@SwollenEize So.... wouldn't it be your 3rd favorite song then ;)

[SpiffyWTF]

this sounds like sex

[FunkMuker]

360p? seriously?

[IGNsucks]

@FunkMuker dont worry they have 240p too

[TheRandomBassPlayer]

If I could play this.... I would shit myself over how awesome I would be.

[gangsterthomas1000]

Rody taking a crap at 0:39

[L0stralian]

when did metal get so fucking gay is what i want to know, sure this song is technicley dificult but it fucking flows like shit.

[thetime769]

@L0stralian it's called progressive dumbass

[Gr1zz3m]

@L0stralian

Actually, if you knew anything about music, you'd understand that the odd timing of this song and the transitions flow perfectly, and just because it doesn't follow the standard 4/4 hits on the snare/ cymbals and the 18notes on the bass drum doesn't make it "gay"

i'm sorry you can't appreciate anything more than the simplistic, overused time schemes most metal uses.

I can most likely assume you also hate death core, melodic death metal, and nu metal too, correct?

[CheahNeah]

I discovered this band from above92... haha

[paran315]

I initially thought a girl sang the back part of this song...he has some awesome vocal skillz

[Damien333]

Legolas aint got shit on Arif.

[kraftkyle]

fucking love this song >:D

[Gtrplayer77]

This shit is epic goodness - indulgent masterpieces of metal love

[Blwx3]

boner dulling music.

[WCRoss0]

18 hours later - amazing band.. the best incorporation of metal and beautiful vocals.. so @LLCoolPeas is a douche

[LLCoolPeas]

This takes me back a few years... Not a huge fan of this band, but i can very much appreciate them. Great song!

[Psyh0tix]

The guitarist makes hard even harder.. he needs some psychiatric attention

[MetalbladeArt]

1:09 = incredible...

[pecorflp12]

Fucking insane vocals. Great song.

[BeastFromTheEast94]

i used to smoke alot of weed. i mean ALOT of weed.

[cmentalppl]

i just can't believe how talented this band is, they are keeping metal alive here in Canada!

[TheAdemaOfDean]

This is a genius metal song; all of the different types combined into one musical creation of sounds and vocals

[FrostAlchemist27]

I masturbate to this song

[Matsumoto330]

This song fucken turns me on in a straight way!

[imjackcooper]

They're so fucking awesome on so many levels.

[earsbleed]

this guy are very sickkk

[DanDood666]

1:09 = Made of win

[zharmonyz79]

This guys kick so much ASS!!

[DookieDonuts]

that's really, fuckin epic

[Cmattesen]

fuck..

He has so much control over his voice.. fucking epic.

[dalianava3]

All this time...Justin Timberlake was vocals?

[skylord081]

Awesome guitar, superb bass, and the best ... the vocals ... so original, so different

[raizensava888]

this is like putting in a supergroup, mike portnoy on drums, yngwie malmsteen on 1st guitar , steve vai on 2nd guitar, john myung on the bass and rhandy blythe with miljenko matjevich on vocals with an added jens johansson on keys on occasion!

[tntrampage1]

1:00 vocals are insane

[sl1pkn0t1100]

so....good.....



[curlyheadbanger]

It's so insane to see them in Blindfolds Aside and then seeing them in this video. How different they look. Rody doesn't even look the same from BA to this song. It's incredible. haha

[Lars213344]

didn't know it was possible for so much talent to exist in one band

[AustinKargl]

This video always seems to amaze me. Always.

[raizensava888]

no really, this can't be it. this is most probably a part of the entire song, where's the rest of the 3 hour awesomeness?!?!?!

[Trogdor8freebird]

Youtube really needs to fix the dislike problem by replacing it with a "Love" button.

[asas1234567891]

look at his eyebrows 1:12

[dorukteker97]

Like if you think Avenged Sevenfold is better lol =)



[TheMetalBuddy]

@dorukteker97 A7X is my favorite band, but PTH are really fucking great, it's impossible to choose one of both. They're freaking awesome

[suavedot]

@TheMetalBuddy Let's just not put ranks on music =p They are both insane in awesomeness :D

[deathacus]

@dorukteker97 obviously nobody agrees with you

[cheyneisdisturbed]

Insanely talented group of people. Amazing musicians, incredible music.



[RouterMontages]

check out my bone marrow cover!!

[fershmonkey3211]

guitarist wakes up and says i think ill make bowl of cereal.so he doesnt.string rape

[teamkiller99]

Bloody amazing instrumentals, not really a fan of the vocals... BUT!! being able to do both high and low screams AND clean singing is very boss!!!! very talented band! <3

[wesker09]

Vocal Freddie ?? lol

[soulsecano]

I love the lead singer he's amazing

[Zuscapower182]

el cantante pone cara de julian lopez cuando hace de hombre asqueroso xD

[shreddinmetal4life]

I hate vevo, but it pisses me off that this song isn't available in the U.S. on PTH's vevo. I don't even understand, makes no sense to me.

[thesicnessnz]

Arif is styling hard in this clip.

[Ekkyzor]

I wish they all were this epic live! - Arif was just standing still all the thing not really doing anything! But damn, they were so tight and pretty fucking awesome live!

And Rody was really funny, making fun of poeple (including myself) and was just annoying in a funny way!

[ishomodin]

Saw these guys live, nothing short of amazing...but the bass player wouldn't shoot the arrow...pissed me off :)

[housecatdaharun]

0:20 EPIC MOVE!!

[SuperRoflCopterSOI]

@housecatdaharun that is the "ballerina twirl into head bang" technique

[12heha]

I like it.

[megadethman21]

the bass player is soo bad ass lookin hes like "yeah im good what of it?" bahaha

[AudioslaveGod]

That bassist is a machine.

[vallt1]

he definitely has a rapist mustache

[LexiVonDoodle]

beautiful vocals

[outubeisawful]

How can you not love the "WE ARE STILL LIFE AND COLD BLOODED!" part?

[brutalhonesty]

/watch?v=NYuMgNAR8p8 hey this is an original progressiv-y metal song i wrote, i honestly just want your opinion. no this isnt a fucking spam thing, i just need people's realistic thoughts. thank you. and its good quality, not like a camcorder sound or whatever.

[put92]

it's called musical fusion, they create their own music to entertain, they have their style, and that's Protest The Hero.

[floridabuell]

That's called talent.

[xkhuongdox]

Man. The vocals. I can't stand it. If the vocals were better, I would have liked this band.

[iSHREDdaAXE]

@xkhuongdox honestly the vocals is what makes this song stand out in my mind. all metal bands try to sounds the same but the difference in vocals is what makes this band stand out in my mind.

[slipknot9733]

@iSHREDdaAXE my words exactly, i love the standard vocals but his really make this band stand out to me and i enjoy the fresh take and the guitarists fuck they are good

[IGNsucks]

@xkhuongdox i felt the same first time i heard this, by the sixth time i fucking loved his voice. very unique and he has some fucking range which is something you cant say for most metal singers.

[SamTheRubberMan]

Thanks Youtube! How did you know that right after listening to Protest the Hero I'd want to listen to Miley Cyrus? Thanks a lot!

[metallicaandkornrock]

the singer is too soft in my opinion 

[cristhizz23]

@metallicaandkornrock thats whats cool about it

[snoutszer]

i can feel the touch of World War through this song.

[youFuckenFAAIL]

wow. again there bassist is just outstanding.

[DemoticVEVO]

Fucking beautiful song, so complex.

The worst part is 3:19 though, I fucking hate that part.

[LandersLanes12]

The vocalist sounds like Rickity Cricket from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
