😈 ＭＥＬＴ－ＢＡＮＡＮＡ 😈 "Shield For Your Eyes..." Live 4/29/05 Southgate House, Newport, KY 

I love this band so much. It's like they listened to early Sonic Youth and said "Hell, we can be WAY more irritating than this."

My favorite band. Saw them in November. Yasuko gave me a hug.

this melts my banana...

I always think this band would be at home playing at some weird ass bar in some hard to interpret bar scene in a low budget sci fi movie.

Kinda makes me mad they haven't been finding actual line up replacements, I dont care if it's not gonna be the same ppl in this vid, it's just WAY more fun seeing some shit played like this live with no restrictions

Greatest noise rock of all time period.

Melt Banana is such a tight band...hairpin tempo changes....and Rika is so badass!

Funnily enough I find most popular music to be wayyy more irritating

Whoah, the guitarist is wearing a mask!! LOL - he truly IS ahead of his time here1! Crazy stuff - I'm diggin' it!!!

Wtf it's like Sonic Youth on speed this is amazing

@epicjpro11 If you knew music you would hear the melodies pretty easily..you would also know there is a style of music that isnt consisted around a key signature called atonal which we usually think of as "noise" but these guys have a central point and a key signature they may stray really far from it sometimes, but that is the beauty of art my friend

Melt Banana had a great influence on a lot of bands, very underrated

Love Rika! She is such a beast of a bass player!

This is what Jimi Hendrix would be doing on guitar, if he was still alive. People who don't understand this anti-music have frozen brains, imprisoned in the dungeons of Western civilization "music theory" delusions. Break free!

l love this band... i saw them in SF with the Melvins. my favorite rock band of all time. they sound just as good now, or even better, 12 years later as they did then ..

That main riff doe... So freaking good. These guys are noise wizards.

I love you and I miss you, Rika!

dave witte is everywhere dude i swear

Agata destroying time and space with his effects lol

This is like Deerhoof. But it's louder and faster. I love it!

Agata is Tom morello on steroid.

Saw them once with The Locust a long long time ago. Probably like 2004. Going to see them in Chicago, June 1st, 2024. Still going.

Guitarist is way ahead of his time, he already knew about the pandemic

Woah, what an interesting band.

Awesome band, they kinda remind me of Big Black.

3 times live! Yasuko is a sweetie pie and Agata's cool lol

It's like my reaction on rage against the machine. How can there not be any sampling involved!?

I have seen them live and they make your ears bleed and deaf for about two weeks. Take precautions when listening live. Thank you john peel for introducing me to them. God bless xx

4:12 Agata activates star wars laser battle mode :D

this is like evil electronicos fantasticos if they used their weird industrial instruments to make actual noise music instead of japanese electronic folk music lol

been a fan for literally years and seeing them for the third time in September.

Around the turn of the decade, A music scene began to raise it's ugly head into the world. A scene heavily influenced by bands such as THE LOCUST and MELT BANANA. When asked, the pioneering bands of Neo-trash, state that, if Neo-trash truly is a genre then The Locust was truly the first. They looked to create a music scene outside of the norm. The small secretive group called this scene NEOTRASH, The style of audio graffiti. It all started with a band called“The Ghost Computer!!”. That band spawned, probably the most influential Neotrash band in the scene “This Killed Jonbenet”. From 2004 to 2012 this scene grew like a virus along the east coast of it’s home in Australia. Staying subterranean and only letting a few into the circle. Over those years the scene developed into a underground political movement, consisting of political hackavists, crazy people and enlightened lovers of experimental music. Some called themselves a family, others called themselves and army. With politically driven lyrics, fired at you through polyp inducing screams and a chaotic haze of over distorted guitars. swarmed by crazy cybernetics and muscle melting drums...I think this maybe for you. In 2012 the founding band “The Ghost Computer!!” broke up and the scene seemed to fall apart...I’m doing my best to revive this scene I love. Keeping things a secret to keep posers out doesn’t work. Help me get bands like these back in the world.

Beautiful Band!!! P.S. From Russia with love)))

my favourite k-pop band

Melt Banana is such a tight band..hairpin tempo changes..and Rika is so badass!❤❤❤

kulağım kanadı amk

I was at this show! It was amazing! I just saw them last night in Tokyo in a tiny space and it was transcendent. My ears still hurt in the best way, haha

i dont listen to metal that often. but the way that guy shredded almost made me cry. that was incredible

This tour was amazing! Seen them open for Fantomas they broke my cherry in before Fantomas wrecked me....

Sounds amazing like a slint riff sped up.

Adam haklıymış , kulaklarım kanadı.

This is what a 2000s band should sound like, if i were to show someone from the past, future music

Awesome. If you don't head bang to Melt Banana there is something wrong with you. They're so joyously goddamn noisy!!!

I can't figure out how he doesn't smoke cabinets running high frequencies through them?

Yasuko is the ideal woman.

2:11 griddy

Nice, kinda reminds me of the mothers of invention doing weasels ripped my flesh in 1969, check it out kids 😎

Saw you guys at Scullys at Columbus,Ohio in 06 or 07! Damn were getting old!

Fuck Yeah

Such beautiful noise

They haven't had a drummer since like, 1998 I think, and they just use different drummers each tour. Sometimes it's from different bands. Like I think they had the drummer from Melvins for a tour.

The guitarist is cool af

Thank you very much, Melt-Banana very good karma, all of your band is doing well in JDS (good grades) Do not push your faith, you are welcome back to JDS

I was at this show and it was amazing. I know the band has been performing this stuff for a long time, but damn. Wish they would come back to the U.S.

Actually I did and I love the Residents, but Melt Banana is the best live band I've ever seen, which counts a lot in my book. In general they just tingle my coccyx a lot more than the Residents. All a matter of opinion.

Love this song love this album. So fucking good!!!

agata rocks.

Melt Banana tour 2015!!!!!

Just an opinion. Why did Dave Witte join such a shitty band like Municipal Waste? Even playing as a guest musician of bands like Melt Banana (obviating the magnificence of Discordance Axis act) is more dignifying that playing in MW. Don't misunderstand me. I love Melt banana

Saw these guys when they opened for Tool in 06 and before the show I was like who the fuck is Melt-Banana? The show started and I quickly found out...

Just came by to see what they're like. They're playing with Igorrr in '22.

Astoundingly brilliant

I needed this to cleanse my brain after being directed to a Babymetal video.

shield for your eyes the Best song ever

somebody can post the lyrics, i dont understand a shit

Oh, I had that when it came out. A decent LP, like the guitar work in particular but it still comes back to Claypool for me - super talented bass player & I even like his quirky aesthetic - he just doesn't exude lead man to me hence why I feel it gets shticky. & I hated the drum production. Nonetheless I respect the band's talent and they are much more than technical wizards despite, at times, feeling like they relied too heavily on that wizardry to push some of the songs on Frizzle Fry.

Just had to check these guys out, was played on 6music by Iggy Pop and his guests Underworld tonight, apparently one of the late John Peel,s favourite bands

Damn, I miss this.

What a great video!Kentucky has a great audience!

Dave Wittie RULEZ!

First time I've ever heard melt-banana. Wasn't expecting that at all.

Saw them open for Fantomas in SF...great fucking show.

マイケルウィンスローのジミヘンみたいｗ

If you like Melt Banana check out More Peas - Touch Me:)

this band is so fuckin diffrrnt😝

hahaha that crowd

I could mosh to this.

I brought my 8 month pregnant wife to see melt banana at the house of blues in new Orleans soon after this.

Bass player is playing full chords, Is that the same drummer?

The chemical brothers.

I am going to see them tonight here in Chicago.

I tried Primus. Claypool is certainly a talented guy but Primus always felt gimmicky to me. The parts where compelling but the whole just sputtered and got stuck in it's own affect, namely Claypool's shtick. I'll stick with the chubby guy in flannel from San Pedro, Mr. Watt.

rika, what a beast

i want Agatas Gibson...

Sounds exactly like the album how tf

i adore their string section....

great Melt-Banana youtube action!

This is proper music

What on earth was that guitarist using? A wah pedal with an overdrive? Its gotta be more then that.. wow

Sounds like Cramm by three trapped tigers

Damn I wish the bass was a little more present in the mix.

One of my favorite songs of all time

I keep coming here cuz I believe this is what I need to keep me alive

How does he get his guitar to be so high pitched. I've heard lots of noise guitarists hitting these unbelievably high notes and I wanna figure out how for my own projects.

Dear God, why?

face masks before it was cool...in NA

I miss this Melt Banana!

Gonna see them Halloween.

if you loop 1 measure of the bass line and leave the guitar on... resting on the amps theyd probably sound just as good maybe better even
