Seeing this album (plus Colors II the next night) live in 2024 was one of the greatest experiences of my life. So thankful they did the Colors Experience
Being a guitar playing the guitar always amazes me but idont think I'll ever get over Blake's fn drumming. It's mind blowing how he's always on point with everything. He's not human
It's like he is a humanoid robot designed specifically to be a perfect drum machine. I ran into him outside of Rex theater in Pittsburgh, PA, it's like he has no idea who he is XD super humble nice guy! Glad I shook his had before COvid-19 lmao
That was a problem for me when I first discovered them, had to listen to the same songs over and over to focus in a particular instrument because they're all worthy of attention.
That’s my favorite fucking part! I literally am watching their live shows just to see that part. Lol I remember saying to my friend before going to see them “you ready to square dance in the mosh pit man???” 😂
The bass player very rarely gets the credit he deserves, often overlooked, but there's so much imaginative detail in there that other bass players would dream of. Also as a bit of micro-trivia, Dan reminds me of Darin Gray of Dazzling Killmen fame. 🙂
They must be practicing nonstop to memorize all those parts, especially since all of their songs are usually 10 or more minutes and go all over the place.
Josh nails it, remembering all of these parts is much easier when you're the one that created it. Not to say it's easy, just easier. It helps that by this point they've probably played that album together at least several hundred times.
I'm currently doing ketamine therapy, and at my last session i had a pen, a pad of paper, and listened to colors all the way through. Needless to say, i got my therapy. Onto colors II
Silent Circus is fucking awesome but I watched a fairly recent video of Paul listening to fan covers of BtBaM songs - one was of Camilla Rhodes and Paul said he couldn't even remember how to play it.
In the top 5 concerts I desperately wish I had attended. College Ian couldn't make the trip. I watch the DVD at least once a year tho. COLORS TOUR WHEN COVID ENDS PLZ
Okay so, I saw BTBAM live during their first concert for their Colors II tour, and they played this there. And I gotta say, they played it a bit better when I saw them, perhaps they've gotten better at playing it over the years. But it was certainly amazing, they didn't miss a single beat and the guitars and synths were perfect.
@@triplecmafia I wasn't watching as much as I was listening and headbanging. You're right though. I most likely was observing with bias. They played the song so well though, down to each missing beat.
they've definitely gotten tighter over the years. I saw them play this album in its entirety 3 years ago and not a single member missed a single note. Like to the degree my friends and I commented afterwards about how crazy it was we didn't notice ANY technical flaws in a performance that long and complex (they said fuck it and played like a 2:15 long set lol)
I think it must be difficult going from Sun of Nothing right into this song. At the start without a break it seems they needed to tune and couldn’t lol after the small organ break they sound much better
7:08 this part of the song makes my hair stand up. I love how they switch the timing into almost a "swing" feel, pretty sure it reverts back to 4/4 time so it feels more "headbangy" but I'm not a musical guy so who knows. It just has such a nice cruising feeling to it.
Someone's 10 album thing on facebook brought me here after many, many years. Always thought this band was an interesting experiment: "how many riffs can we fit into a single song?"
howycwap That's why it bothers me so much. This is one of my favorite bands performing one of my favorite songs, and the camera work is so abysmal that l can't even enjoy this.
You were never interested in them because you clearly don’t know what they are about musically. Go listen to fart jars to get yourself interested again in something
