Recorded live on 08/02/08 at Rocketown in Nashville, TN. Filmed by United Saints. Footage appears on the “Colors_LIVE” CD/DVD. Colors - Buy or Stream: found.ee/BTBAM-...
There's gotta be some kind of production applied to this, not knocking em or saying what you said isn't true, I've seen them live like 12 times since silent circus came out, but it's just such a clean recording.
I’m the grammar police here to fuck you up two years late. It’s “could have GONE”... GONE! “Could have went” and married your first cousin and “could have went” and leased the trailer next to Aunt Tayshuh. This is a BTBAM video, Brady. It’s could have GONE. Fuck.
Every member of this band is irreplaceable. Could you imagine trying to not only learn these songs, but to be able to play them with the extreme precision required to be worthy of BTBAM? Paul, where would we all be if you hadn't found Dustie?! And don't even get me started on the rhythm section, pure beastness. And Tommy, well he is one of a kind.
Hey brother, just wanted to comment and say that I'm right there with you. Literally diverted the direction of my life and were the catalyst for many major internal changes and general self improvement. I was introduced to them when I was 14-15 with The Silent Circus and I felt like I had just uncovered a massive secret that no one else knows about (because surely if they did, everyone would be talking about them. Ya know, 15 year old logic, lol.) Luckily for me, I had fallen in love with them mere months before Alaska was released. For 15 year old me in 2005, Christmas came in September when Alaska dropped. Needless to say, it was yet another doozy to my brain (which up until that point, was headbanging to nu metal and smugly walking around as if it were the heaviest, non-mainstream-iest, and overall best music available. I recall these memories here right now while being met with 'nam flashback-esque reminders of my sad, poor ignorance.) As cheesy and fake as it probably sounds, Colors dropping in 2007 (imagine how pissed I was having to wait for an entire TWO years twiddling my thumbs to pass time, considering that I originally had gotten a new album just mere months after discovering them, hahaha. Like a toddler), but man oh man, I can confidently say that no other extended wait in my life ending up delivering at this level in both manner and magnitude. I'm still benefiting from it to this day, as I ended up getting a half sleeve on my left forearm that took inspiration from a mixture of certain imagery they released associated with specific tracks mixed with my own visualizations as depicted on the greatest theater screen in existence, too bad it's single seating only. It's called Behind Closed Eyelids.
ого я тоже о них узнал года два назад, когда мне было 14, ну в то время я вообщем только прогрессив слушал и близкие ему субжанры(впрочем и сейчас это не очень поменялось, уж очень мне нравится.. сложная? музыка, не знаю например авангард, мат, твинкл, прог, фьюжн, модерн классикал, экспирементал, абстракт хип-хап и прочие, хах)
Untried and untested, One fits nowhere but here in anonymity. There is no birthright - no innate guidance. No direction or destination is handed down. Shackles are the one thing free for all. Dead ends and dead lives abound here, and failure obscures all but the immediate. Sweet dreams fall from reach here; fade from existence - fade from sight. They merge with the black in decay and neglect. The surroundings here are sparse and desolate, and life here is grief, but the path leading here is short and simple- it is so like these aspirations. Better ways and better times are bitter memories. Lost lives live here without inspiration or desire. Here is the lowest of places, but do not despair.
Haven’t heard this song in 3-4 years. Instantly remembered every beat. Love basically everything you boys have done, but the s/t dropped when I was 14 so you know, special place. /BTBAMboardie
This showing up online is a spectacle... Thank you from the bottom of our hearts as fans for all the hard work and dedication you all put into your music. As a fan who joined late into your music career *Great Misdirect*, its sweet to see your older compositions that I haven't been able to see, even though it's off of Colors Live. Hope BTBAM keeps going on strong for many years to come, and I am stoked to see you at the Crofoot Ballroom in Michigan!
First time I heard this song was at Chain Reaction in 2003. I think I was there to see Terror. There was maybe 100 people at the show that night. I feel lucky to have been there in the early days.
Caught them with Comeback Kid (who I was there to see) and Bleeding Through at some shithole in VA in 2003. Life changing. Still have a shirt and my copy of the s/t from that show nearly 20 years later lol
This is both beautiful and brutal in a way that no other than BTBAM can pull off. I mean, they obviously didn't invent that concept, Opeth and other bands combine heavy and slow elements, but BTBAM are unique in that sense. Their musicianship is irreplaceble.
I remember back when i was in high school and this being my favorite song, hell i couldnt hear one song without listening to the whole album lol these guys are beasts for playing so damn good live i totally saw them in ventura for the great misdirect .fucking legends
