this is the most complete rock song that ever existed. all instruments are perfectly equalized. you have 2 guitar solos, 1 great bass line, a piano solo, AMazing vocals and the song aint that long. this is one of the best rock songs in history. its the first hellacopter song i heard in 2001 and the one that made me buy all their records. even now i still think its the best song they ever made.
duuuude- i only heard this album for first time about a week ago ( truly, im lazy with music) i could not agree with you more about this song. Knowing what these guys are capable and of how noisy they can take things , this record is an exercise in pure discipline chasing a specific sound and they totally nailed it
R.I.P. Strings. You were such a wonderful person. I will never forget getting drunk with you and Kenny at Download watching Iron Maiden. One hell of a guitarist as well!
It's unbelievable how you can just pick a copters CD up that you have listened to before and find songs like this that you know you will listen over and over and over again for the next hundred years. I had somehow missed this entirely, glad I found it now at least. Cheers from Finland.
Big fan of them for years. i accidently seen them live and meet them also and a cabbie pal of mine set me up with their entire cds collection of their music
this is the first song i heard from theses guys and i fell in love with their music!!! i was watching a aussie music show called rage at like 3 in the morning and it came on. RAD SONG!!!!!
I think the Hellacopters are the best band of the last 10 years.In Sweden there has been a lot of bands, but this was the most interesting.All though they did not create anything in terms of rock, but were very sincere.
Então,ganhei By the Grace of God original há uns 8 anos atrás...dae ficou assim,não procurei mais nenhum single,há uns meses deu na cabeça de ver a discografia e fiquei surpresa com o que ouvi...Faixas sem favoritismo e melodias de extrema criatividade! Me surpreendi
Pepe Vik "Everything's on T.V." também é muito boa e gostosa de se ouvir! Muitas vezes ficamos presos no eixo EUA/Inglaterra/Canadá e esquecemos que a Suécia tem muita coisa boa além de "Europe". Recomendo também "Backyard Babies"
THIS BAND is COMPLETEY UNDERRATED and Ive Seen them on and off for over half my LIFE,and at 47,and A disabled VET.,I STILL Feel Just as STOKED as I did the first time I heard then in the MID-90S! A PERFECTLY SENSATIONAL BAND(COMPLETE) SHAME America's tazte in music SUX so BAD...cuz this is LED ZEP-like Mastery! U will be missed FOREVER. ⚡🎸👍
im a fan since 2001 and this is their first song i heard, i have all their records but even today i think this is still their finnest music. this is the perfect rock n roll song.
@wehawman78 I see what you mean, the double bass drum style is garage punk and psychedelic music is not so common but kind of cult classic. MC5, early Pink Floyd, and of course Blue Cheer! Check out "50s lady" by Elevator to Hell if you can find it one here... killer double bass heavy psych!
Seems like this video disappeared, or was hidden for awhile on RU-vid because I was unable to find it. I hit the like button, so maybe it'll be easier to find next time. A truly underexposed/underrated band, at least in the USA.
High Visibility. It was released in 2000, and can be found on CD & Vinyl. The vinyl version (except Gearhead's release) has a bonus song called 'No Dogs' that really kicks ass!
@daLom You're right dude, hitting the center sounds best... you can totally feel the difference between two bass drums and a double kick pedal! Anyhow Hellacopters kick ass! Cheers all!
Swallow up And then go flush it down Monday special Get with the latest sound So here's a treat Go waste it's sweetness on the desert air Brand new sensation To enjoy if you care Hey hey hey now! But are you sure it's what you're looking for So c'mon don't be late now It won't be long before it's out the door Toys and flavors Season saviours c'mon devour And cut the edges out Baby Hip young thing ain't hip no more With eagle speed buzzards feed On crums off the fashion floor Hey hey hey now! Are you sure it's what you really need So c'mon don't be late now It's a one hit guarantee Toys and flavors Season saviours c'mon devour And cut the edges out Hey hey hey now! But are you sure it's what you're looking for So c'mon don't be late now It won't be long before it's out the door Toys and flavors Season saviours c'mon devour And cut the edges out Toys and flavors Season saviours
this song is so smooth. i love how it breaks at 1:17 then kicks right back in so in the pocket. now that's fuckin' rock and roll. high visibility was a killer record
@kraai1324 i also think, that it's a difference in sound because you wanna hit the bass drum right in the center ... you can't do that with a double pedal, but with double bass drum ... the only thing where it would not matter is "triggered" drums where a sample is played no matter where you hit the drum itself
im sorry for repeating myself but i just cant believe they made such a perfect rock song in only 3 and a half minutes... i wish i could erase this song of my mind just so i could listen to it for the first time again. i think i cried. also this video is very cool.
