I saw them in 2009 and 2010 when they toured their "The Incident" LP and it was absolutely BETTER live than the recording! PT is the best band that ever was
Hey guys this song is completely on alcoholism...and arguments due to sore words after getting drunk Russia on ice here is another name for vodka... He says ''Russia on ice is burning a hole''....hole is a metaphor for throat.. He says vodka is making his throat say these sore words...but he can do anything... "can't stop myself drinking, can't stop being me" He tries to be someone so that that these fights get over but is not able to...that's why he cant stop drinking....
I don't know why, but this was the first Porcupine Tree song that blew my mind. Before this, I only knew their most popular songs and none really appealed to me, until I heard Russia On Ice. Now I saw every concert and interview one can possibly find and I'm a fan.
This is practically the best live rock music performance ever. I wonder if the people in audience realized it. Even their published live performances aren't this good. This is truly amazing.
I casually stumble upon to hear this song(these haunting meditating sounds and vocals are mind boggling and relaxing) when I go to my hometown during holidays and casually listen in the monotony of night it sets some amazing addictive neural paths in my brain to an extent that I have to listen to it from time to time without forcing.
I feels o grateful that I have been listening to musicians like Steve Wilson,Thom Yorke,david gilmour ,steve vai and others..And I feel sorry for people who praise justin beiber....So sad that steve Wilson is so underrated
@@kida4313 the difference is that you literally cannot compare Gilmour and Wilson to Bieber. I know music is subjective and people will like what they like. I stand by the fact that there isn't such thing as 'bad' music. However, the fact that Steven wrote nearly everything for this band and then produced countless more projects, masters, mixes, side projects, etc. I just don't think you actually can compare the two. Steven is just light-years better than bieber
You think I deserve this, You said I was stupid, All my thoughts are like coal, But Russia on ice is burning a hole, Can't stop myself drinking, Can't stop being me, If I call will you come and will you save me? I see the whole thing come down, I burn it to the ground, Well what the hell did you say?You said you hate me this way, It's just a matter of time, A drop in the ocean, A significant motion, Nothing melts in this cold, But Russia on ice is burning a hole, I see the whole thing come down, I burn it to the ground, Well what the hell did you say? You said you hate me this way, It's just a matter of time...
People compare PT to Pink Floyd, but I think PT has set a new standard; they have surpassed PF in just the sheer number of songs, all different from each other, BTW, that blow my mind!!
So did Chris Maitland do the amazing backing vocals on that stunning chorus?? Omg. You know, i thought he was underrated, but now i'm sure. I like Gavin, but to be "better" you don´t need to do something technically complex or doing solos all the time. It´s like to say a bassist from a funk rock band is the best just because he does solos or slapping.
I agree. Gavin is one of the best drummer in the world but Maitland had a unique touch with PT. To me it feels like he let more space for the other members.
Out of scale where exactly? You know this was recorded on an old VHS tape you could be hearing some distortion from that but im jus not sure what part is out of scale that you're talkin about
@@ameemjaffri2115 his singing used to be quite weak, and still is not the strongest, but he has improved a lot. especially through the 2000s he was always improving his singing technique
