Babar - experimental noise rock

[FudoYusei94]

great noise 

[RebornGuitarLearner]

I think it's awesome that there are bands out there that are fearlessly experimenting and pushing the boundaries of music. Keep doing what you're doing, ignore what people say if they don't have anything constructive to say.

Kudos, it takes some serious balls to play exactly what you want instead of caving into what everyone thinks music should be.

[aintfirstyourlast]

kill all your band!



[TheBradleh]

This is like real bad, i like noise this is just bad

[DistortionGainTreble]

throw away your instruments and never assault someone's ears again with this garbage

[Swimmisan]

@TheFireInside9 You got your ass kicked.

"You're a liar."

Great comeback.

[Swimmisan]

Why come here if you're just going to diss it?

[UnDead483]

Noise rock is, I think, the only form of music where someone saying "This isn't music, this is just noise" can be taken as a compliment.

[mjknlr]

Laughed hysterically when he started "singing".

[OGTheDemon]

WTF is this shit???

[EnriqueGTE]

suck

[nathangetsowned]

i am 100 percent my ears are bleeding

[asdvassi]

Sorry I don't find any beaty in tis "rock"

[sharki766]

noise sucks. ew

[nathangetsowned]

@sharki766 ahahahahahahha

[DemoticVEVO]

How.. "artistic"

Sounds like a 7 year old throwing a tantrum while trying to play guitar.

[str84ever]

@DemoticVEVO implying noise isn't music.

[DemoticVEVO]

@str84ever

I never said it wasn't music, it is.. "music" in a VERY, fucking VERY broad sense.

My comment still stands, though.

[dubhdavidblack]

Eat poop, haters. These guys are doing something they enjoy, so what's the problem?

[TrainorJon]

I love noise rock. but yeah, not a lot of people like it.

[iammejez]

i didn't use to understand this type of music....

that was before i did acid

[boxyman6]

I don't care for this type of music.

[ButtonsProduction3]

@boxyman6 ur a fucking gay faggot hang ur fucking gay ass.

[boxyman6]

@ButtonsProduction3

you're an obnoxious prick

sorry if I dislike your shitty experimental noise, it's fucking annoying. try some real music you daft fuck

[moffe247]

WTF?

[Xeaurado]

Awesome Noise Rock!

[TheFireInside9]

Death Metal riffs take talent. This does not.

[sonorpaiste702]

@TheFireInside9 It's a good thing I don't let something as trivial and subjective as "talent" get in my way of enjoying music.

[TheFireInside9]

@sonorpaiste702 Ok, it's a good thing you know nothing about music theory otherwise you would be disgusted by this music. And music theory is not trivial or subjective you nimrod cock face.

[sonorpaiste702]

@TheFireInside9 I've taken multiple music theory courses and know a great deal about it. Talent (the word you're looking for anyway is skill, talent is entirely different) has nothing to do with how fast you can shred or how many scales or chord progressions you know. It's entirely subjective.

You'll understand when you grow up.

[TheFireInside9]

@sonorpaiste702 No you haven't. Talent really does have something to do with it. A person that is new to playing an instrument is more likely able to play this than death metal.

You'll understand when you get over yourself.

[sonorpaiste702]

@TheFireInside9 Cool, I warm up with 220BPM blast beats and comfortably play at 240, that has no bearing on my opinion of music, I love playing Death Metal and Noise Rock. How difficult something is to play has nothing to do with how good it sounds.

The word you're looking for is skill. Talent is an innate ability (as in something you're born with), someone who is talented could competently play Noise Rock and Death Metal within a few months of playing guitar, I've seen it before.

[TheFireInside9]

@sonorpaiste702 Cool, proof or gtfo, liar.

How easy this is to play shows how little skill they have.

"But this isn't the best they can do."

Yes it is.

[sonorpaiste702]

@TheFireInside9 Nah, I have more productive things to do with my time than upload a video specifically for some Metalcore kid.

Cool. Yet again, how hard something is to play has absolutely no bearing on how good it sounds. That's a concept you're clearly struggling with.

[TheFireInside9]

@sonorpaiste702 You're a liar. 

[Virus940]

@alexishoule121 I'm not defending this music, I also think it's shit. I'm just saying its not unpredictability that's it's issue. The issue is that it just sounds like monkeys are having sex on a guitar.

[Virus940]

@alexishoule121 I don't think predictability is an issue. I listen to a lot of progressive metal, and I listen to a band called Meshuggah who are known for their unpredictability through their progressive song structure, frequent time signature changes, and angular riffs. But they don't sound like random meaningless noise (unless you only listen to garbage on the radio, then you'll probably say it's noise because you're an idiot) like this band.

[simmons218]

When dose the music start?

[tendercream]

@simmons218 open your mind!!!

[MrMushroomBrain]

wow this is really good, we Like it...

Flower Power and Noise

[DrayHN]

you guys sure do get alot of joy out of music. nice to share it with others and give them joy.

[overoath123]

@alexishoule121 It's only talented from 0:00 to 5:28.

[Sevenvad]

I think it is like Depressive black metal. Is It?

[greece1992bill]

i think that is really greaaatttt.....love it!!!!!

[youknowyourrite1]

@alexishoule121 not everyone has the same concept of what talent is.

like you,you probably are freaked out by music like this.i'll bet everyone you consider talented are from commercial bands..same old predictable shit. i'll bet you think that anything without a guitar solo and normal song structure "sucks" and that the people involved aren't "talented".well here's a news flash for you, noise isn't about how "talented" you are.it asks the modern predictable idiot "who are you to judge talent??"

[slashsslayer97]

@alexishoule121

its called noise rock dumb ass

emphasis on NOISE

its supposed to sound weird

[ClayManSteve]

....i'm going to be very straightforward. I do not get noise rock.

[upnod]

@ClayManSteve check out the jesus lizard

[synergiaensamble]

heavy

[darkidolmusic]

big sound in your fucking face !!

[MrGrunger27]

Astonish!

[BRADANDKALEB]

lol alot of agression

[ConnorShawMusic]

i love noise rock!! check out the escape artist...its my noise rock band! maybe we can play a show together someday

[Dylan3630]

this is awesome keep it up

[mrsneeky]

oh and i totally miss watching this band.

[mrsneeky]

cooper diers isnt it

[BoundtoUnwound]

hey, mr. sneeky. I appreciate all the support you had and have for the BABs. I miss playin' with the O'Connell bros...

[aneveningsmoke]

It's been 2 1/2 years ... maybe I will get around to posting this whole gig someday soon.

[dylan300000]

nice

[inthepants117]

sounds like my band minus the guitar and drums

[TheCobaltRod]

I love this, great tune.

[anastasia328]

omg what is that? all the greats are probably turning in their graves

[thesemenincident]

So fuck "the greats"!

[liamzuid]

this just sounds awfull.

[xStupidRobotx]

Great Job Dude....

You should check my vid, NoiseExpress.

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

Excellent song! All the people commenting negative comments on this video just don't understand it. They can go listen to their radio bullshit

[frybrain94]

this is absolutely butt fucking terrible

[dddrrraaacccuuulllaa]

Nice, see my noise music, it is called Noiseligion, but my music is worse, because I did alone, and I have just sound, no video... see...

[Noitakasha]

Ooooh guys ... awesome <3

[crugad]

beautiful noise

[pukeonmyshoe2130]

wow this is amazing

[IchhabGeburtstag]

Really noisy... I like it. Singer sounds kind of emo-ish like in emotive hardcore.

[CameronDaGangsta]

This is one of the most chaotic genres out there. It earns the name NOISE very well. That's why I like it.

[HippieChic1970]

This was actually quite refreshing!I liked it!

[ramy2702]

wtf if this is noise rock, then it blows.. It's just a bunch of... well, noise:P

[ajatkinson2004]

Yea sounds like those shity startup bands that form when a buncha highschool kids all get instruments for Christmas and decide to "jam"

[charlieshakeview]

In the begining sounds like Throbbing Gristle, how he makes noise with the guitar. A band similar like Cabaret Voltaire too. The attitude of this music is humble.

[charlieshakeview]

I Love Noise Rock!

Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Can are my favorite bands.

Is the next music to take over but please keep it underground people.

[TheDigitalreign]

classy.

[stillbreathing]

the singer is my bestfriend and i'm also good friends with the other guitarist.

[slartibartfast12]

this probably sounded better live

[Spla5tik]

THIS IS AMAZING

[candlebar]

This is more like noise-jazz

[joejjohnston]

i liked it all except the vocals. pretty good but they're no sonic youth

[jadatjaatje]

Is there any kind of band that looks like this? I like the sound.

[johnnyjerk]

Not bad.

I dug it.

[TedLeoAgent]

Ahahahaha what the fuck is this shit lmao

[nuculais]

your mama in pelotas .|. :)

[MasterInfernoMusic]

Awesome. Noise rules.

[paranoidandroeed]

i fukin love noise rock u rock

[dojokonojo]

i want to know, how do u make the sounds? :)

[BoundtoUnwound]

Through the spirit of creativity, channeling tension and exploring the largely ignored subconscious... knobs, distortion, fender amps... interacting on the fly...

[Intosia]

Dont like the screaming rest is ok

[NightChariot]

what a spirit

[hipcathobbes]

i really enjoyed this. your myspace says you guys recorded an ep... any copies left?

[BoundtoUnwound]

eeh...it's nothing like this. think along the lines of the track off the myspace. we never got around to a real release. we just burned copies and gave them away at shows. I'm sure if I got your info one could be sent to you. I'd make it worth your while, you know all one of a kind if you want some original artwork and stuff? it's up to you.

[AARONRULES666]

do you have any stuff like this recorded?

[BoundtoUnwound]

much to my dismay... no. however, new projects have risen from the ashes of BABAR. the drummer and "singer" have been a duo for a while, and I'm (the crouched guy) working on some sound collage and highly avant plinkering tape recordings with a few of my like-minded friends. expect to be notified within a few months when we're able to transfer them to cd! don't know what the project name is going to be... but I'll let you know.

[tommica]

hey this was actually pretty good! i listen a lot to noise rock and really like it! nice work!

[paranoidandroeed]

hey i really love the sound of noise rock like i always feedback my guitar and stuff and scratch the strings. The only decent noise rock band ive found so far have been sonic youth can u recommend any more? sonic youth r amazing

[BoundtoUnwound]

dude... There is a whole universe of quality noise that you can get to. Sonic Youth is definitely a good starting point. I'm a little curious why you refer to them as "the only decent...". If you don't like it too rough, then your galaxy might be smaller. Nels Cline's a fantastic guitar player who incorporates noise and other elements. He's a genius, actually. You might like Mogwai or Mono. They're tastefully noisy. There's certainly more potent; Dead C, Glenn Branca, late Fahey, LOTSANOISE!

[angelhair0]

Mono and Mogwai never occured to me as noise rock bands... they are both almost always completely melodic.

[BoundtoUnwound]

who said noise can't sound melodic? They are quite pleasing to the ears, but employ some textures that I would constitute as sound-noise-what have you. They use it very tastefully and I suggest them because of paranoid's comment on liking sonic youth-another quite friendly sounding "noise band" (most of the time...that is)

[gratefultsui]

More like shoegaze. Mogwai that is, I've never listened to Mono.

Jap noise is pretty promising, if you want to find noise.

[BoundtoUnwound]

genres genres genres... you can dissect and break it down to a science if you want... The best music is the shit you can't describe. shoegaze came from bands that looked at their feet while they played... Nervous people DO that, it's not a sound. (look at my lack of theatrical performance in this video!)

[Beck436]

@gratefultsui

gratefultsui

Boredoms, man!

[Beck436]

@angelhair0

I dunno, melody is kind of an optional dynamic of noise stuff. Lightning Bolt is constantly turning it on and off, for example. Anything that's normally a foundation within music theory becomes a kind of variable in noise music. That's what widens the room for imaginative writing in noise; the very concepts of structure and non-entropy can be toggled without rendering the music some irrelevant genre all of a sudden.

[sunynight3]

see noise can sound good and bad at the same time wich confuses me do i like this or do i hate it thats just the great thing about the noise one likes it and someone else will just hate it :P

still they need some inprovements like the vocals :P just let it sound like the music ^.^

[waxanimalparts]

Aids wolf, neptune, wolf eyes, arab on radar, throbbing gristle, indian jewelry, bordomes for more weirder, no wave stuff. Daughters, melt-banana, white mice, fat day, hella, ruins, and anything brian chippendale or justin pearson for more harsh abrasive fucking nosie. i'd also recommend no age, mika miko, silver daggers, fiasco, skeleteen for more "punk gone experimental"

[radioamor]

Let me simplify that list:

SWANS

[wykydsyx]

The fact that you've even heard of SWANS deserves a high five at least.

[fattyboy192]

I LOVE your taste in musik.

[waxanimalparts]

I'm glad, me too!

[waxanimalparts]

@fattyboy192 well thats just the noise i listen to. im more into experimental electronic music or idm. have you heard the ambivalence avenue record by bibio? it's my favorite lately

[townsperson]

Badass. The band name fits the genre well aswell.

[madeinplastic]

plagiat ...good shit give more

[BoundtoUnwound]

By the way, I really appreciate the positive comments. We sort of strayed away from our roots and started exploring this stuff as total improv. sets and our 'original fanbase' I think didn't really understand what we were trying to do. It was a really interesting time period and mindset of trying to challenge ourselves and others as to what is musical and what can be formed out of unstructured forms...if that makes any sense.

[skeletor7]

does this band have a myspace? the music is good

[BoundtoUnwound]

yes, we do-BABARtheband (do the myspace check for it). Though, I regret to inform that we don't really play together anymore for I have moved (yeah, college). I'm the guy who was crouched down, but the other two are continuing in a similar vein as "Captian Spalding's African Safarri" or something. ah, free noise...

[skeletor7]

thats too bad, u guys sounded really good, i'll have to check out the other band

[FagKrew]

sick

[monoparlante]

mostro

[mrsneeky]

sweet babars amazing...i have a vidoe of thme on my channel too
