After almost 10 years, I felt so nostalgic about the original video that I had to go to the fre***ing dailymotion to be able to relive such piece of masterpiece B)
What I love about this even more than the music and lyrics and everything else, is the massive energy they have, which is sadly really lacking from a lot of bands nowadays. It's an energy that's simply impossible to create artificially. And holy fuck, do they have energy and passion for their music, you can hear that easily.
Aja's voice is amazing, but it's the passion she brings when she performs that makes them great...if you haven't heard Nico Vega live and up close, you haven't heard them yet...
How this song doesn't have more views or more likes, it´s damnly a fucking hymn for this age in that all America is living seriously thugh times THIS SONG REPRESENTS THE MODERN ROCK, AND THE ROCK IT'S STILL ALIVE
I liked her earlier stuff much better. This loud music drowns out her beautiful vice and she has a fantastic voice that does not need to be screaming like she is in these new works.
I find it funny people complain about their favorite bands getting views because it was on a video game. Guys. Here's some marketing lessons for you. They, the artists, did that because they want the people to find out their band through the game, which they would see how awesome it is, and then purchase their merchandcise. Whoa. Mind Blown.
For the record I knew about cage the elelphant before borderlands. This song not so much but shouldn't it be enough that I liked it enough to want to listen to it some more?
Aja's such an awesome singer. I love Nico Vega :) And, get this, if you didn't already know - Aja Volkman and Dan Reynolds are married, and they took Arrow on tour and GAH. Someone smack me, I'm turning into a fangirl. O_O
Is this directed at me? Because I was making a comment about someone who decided that people that had discovered the band through Bioshock Infinite ads (as I did) were somehow less worthy viewers and THATS STUPID. I totally agree with what you've written.
Am I the only one here that knows about this song from something else other than Bioshock? I don't have a problem with it being in Bioshock, I'm just curious :P
Why? It got them exposure and their pockets are none the less heavier as a result. The minute ANY band takes a dime for their art they are a business and this was a great business decision.
If it makes the hipsters who want to feel exclusive very happy, I came to this song because of a trailer. However, like all bands I come across due to trailers/commercials, I only end up liking that ONE song. All in all, I don't give two flying dicks about this band or their other songs. But I do wish them success and a piece of the multi-million music industry pie.
