SLEEP TOKEN LIVE FULL SHOW - O2 Academy Birmingham 17/1/23 

As a bassist myself, that 808's sound is delicious

Is he actually playing that thing? I hear bass when his not even touching the thing.

@@mr.a5147 yes and no, it exists something called multitracks, when you hear a bass and he is not playing, most probably is that what you are hearing is a synth bass (which would be too complex to actually bring in a stage AND play it). You can’t clearly hear the difference between a heavy distorted bass and a synth or sub bass because this is recorded with a phone, but live, I can assure you that it’s a BIG difference!

@@viceng.6311 I think he is pretending to play bass most of the time.. how embarrassing.

​@@mr.a5147 why would anyone want to do that? They aren't mainstream, nor making millions. Miming this kind of stuff would be pointless.

Found them last March. On repeat for a year lol

The other day i had Sundowning in repeat album. It repeated for almost 3 hours straight and i didn’t realize, and the reason i had to stop listening was because someone talked to me. I absolutely love this band.

I’ve been joking that they have subliminal messages in their music because I can’t stop either. I also just discovered them and they’re all I want to listen to at this point.

@@jaym9880trolling by listing vague categories with no critical application whatsoever, so original of you-all omelettes are made with eggs. Even using better tools to make an omelette, it’ll only be better by degree (genres or superficial surface aesthetics you listed being the “eggs”). Intentional technique & honed instinct makes a difference in *kind* (communication, connection, soul/spirit, lyricism, etc.) Clearly, it’s how their rhythms and Melodies are woven together & executed that makes a compositionally qualitative difference.

39:21 most of their songs have this effect of thinking you can’t like it more than you do at the moment but your love for the music grows with each listen; this extremely minimal stripped down song is so impossibly expansive such that I find some way to love it more than I think I could after each listen

@@christofts857 mannnn, why do people feel the need to share this 😢

@@Shsjier yes, so why put it on here and spoil it for people who don’t want to find out?

@@christofts857 no need to be sharing this stuff.

@@christofts857 bro why are you spoiling it for people who dont want to know? Bit Of A Dick Move tbh

@@christofts857 delete your comment and let people find out themselves if they really want to.

I love seeing recordings of the guitarist standing on random things and kicking during performances - their touring members are incredibly entertaining.

i love vessels dancing

Sonic surrender! Stealing that one! Love it.

They are probably legit dorks off stage lol

"metal"

@@frasty2256 shush shush little boy

@@nicholasdavidson1191 no, he’s right, this is what “metal” music really needed

not even close to metal

@@tomelke205 modern metal, go listen to metallica 1986 if you want

🖤❤️🖤

like a ritual?

@@xenderknight technically he is spreading an ancient deity's message

@Elxctro Drxgon yeah i mean on social media they do literally call their shows rituals. like the london ritual, or manchester ritual

@@xenderknight damn

The play through’s on their RU-vid is an offering

MVP thank you!!

Is anyone else surprised they didn’t do Take Aim or Blood Sport?

@@biscuit2349 They have only done bloodsport live a couple of times that I know of. I think its too emotionally heavy for Vessel to do it live on a regular basis.

@@White2098 I don’t blame them, I can’t even sing along without almost crying. Such a powerful song and is by far still my favorite from them.

The Summoning and Granite are so fucking good. Can’t wait for this album, I think it’s gonna change everything.

that be the best ever. I wanta see Don Broco, Bad Omens, Sleep Token, and Enter Shikari together playing all and hours worth each, have the concert start at like 6 that be incredible.

@@mentaltelepathy24 Bro i would die to see that lineup

@@mentaltelepathy24 Saw Don Bronco open for Mike Shinoda (From Linkin Park) a few years ago.......the energy

Mine would be BAD OMENS >Sleep Token> Dayseeker> Thousand Below

YES. PLEASE

Dude I just listen to it. I didn’t even notice at first.

He doesnt cry.. its a vocal effect of the use of his breath

Because he wasn't crying, and it somehow didn't sounded that good either. The effect of breathing as if when crying was not a real one, it's part of the act. Originally the whole section in the studio version sounds way different, he tried to replicate those effects, maybe improvised as it fits to the song, but I doubt he did cry. In order to make such rapid breath intakes as if when you are heavily crying, you have to cry quite heavily to do it respectfully, otherwise it wont come up until those heavy emotions and you have to fake it, but it is not heard in his voice whatsoever that he was crying that heavily to create natural breath intakes, because that effect is created when you are out of breath from constant crying. Have you ever cried so heavily or remember at all how you cried when you were a kid, hit your head or some body part so hard, or having some pain in general, that makes you cry so hard that you are becoming out of breath? That is the moment. He wasn't crying here whatsoever, it's staged, part of the act to make you feel like it's very emotional. His voice is under control constantly.

Dude aint crying! lol Sleep Token is great but this fan base is kind of ridiculous and downright culty at times. Y'all need to remind yourselves that these are just really good musicians in costume!

Makes you wonder if it's sleep writing the music and making him show it to the world lol

3:57 is perfection plus the rockstar look at 4:11 hahaha

YES! Looked like he was teleporting with the strobe

Remind me Obito a bit

I didn't see that coming 🤣💜

The show you was at wasn’t in St Louis was it? I was soooo pissed!!! Drove 3 hrs for 30 mins or less😢😢🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

@@mikepearson1311 I went to the show in Connecticut, Oakdale theater. Drove a hour/hour and a half from Rhode Island. It was the In This Moment tour.

@@JoeDread316 yea it was the same tour, with those terrible cherry bomb girls lol

@@mikepearson1311 they set the fire alarm off before the show, during their "sound check". Lol

@@JoeDread316 lmao!!!🤣🤣🤣

Did you see the bassist at 16:00 ? Gotta kick out of me

Hes got some goofy moves though lol

Really? So far at only 18 minutes in. I just get mumbles from vocalist, and I cant detect a single S-tier musician in the group. I'm not a quitter though I'll waste an hour of my life to know the truth if that's what it takes.

@@grandnoodler having a different taste is all good, but if you can't detect a SINGLE exceptional musician in this performance you should probably drop playing the guitar 😶

@@grandnoodler should watch some reactions to the drummer here on YT.

@@grandnoodler Shredding isn't everything my guy. Clearly there's more than a couple people that like this band

in-ear monitors lol. they hear a constant metronome to keep them synchronized

@@blvckdxvth i know it was intencional, i just find cool the movement that he does :)

It was the first time anyone had heard the song being the live debut + unreleased, no wonder he was excited

Does anyone know what he said

@@Schlitorous "Give it to me. You know it's coming!" that's what I hear

He’s called III?

@@rayninorris4773 lll as in 3 just to be clear. Not “sickly” Ill. I imagine some getting thrown off by that.

Rock so hard, you give your homie a kiss

If you think it was good in the video you should have seen the audience, like the entire venue turned into the pit it was insane

he looks so triumphant about getting that kiss loool

@@rmaul9854a hint of maybe who are the members, I know that they asked us not to know who they are but still it’s interesting. Another spoiler lol yeah I also thought about it since the video of vessel with long hair sings with a girl. If someone will find out that this girl from his previous band is a bassist then it’s a good guess that she is the bassist here lol.

😂😂😂

And some Paul Gray, can't miss that low hanging headbang

He wears a lot of KoRn merch so you are right ;)

You weren't looking for Mr Claypool?

this bassist is a legend.

I discovered them about few weeks before 2023, but I've grown to love them so much. The new songs of theirs are honestly amazing and have definitely been a great way of starting the new year.

SAME! OMG I'm SO hooked!

Me too

Been listening to them since they had no more than 10k views on their first songs. Lemme tell ya, they age like fine wine. It's incredible to see how far they've come🫡

Welcome to the Sleepyhood

Thought the exact same thing!!!! He's totally fucking funky freaky!

now they just gotta add vore and blood sport

​@vlgr3214 They've never played Gods live before, so I doubt they'll do Vore. Blood Sport gets played sometimes, but it's emotionally heavy on Vessel, if they do play it I doubt they'll play it at every show.

They're coming to Portland, Oregon in October. I recently discovered and fell in love with them, and would LOVE to go to that. I'm only a couple hours away.

ikr! i've listened to one of their song like years ago called Calcutta and personally, it's not my cup of tea and then they dropped The Summoning and here i am, a year later, still obsessed.

They're coming to Portland, Oregon in October.

That was so smooth that I didn’t even notice the first time around

IKR!!!

YES!

Friggin yessss

THIS ^

same 😀

it needs to happen

I want whatever flexibility stretches they’re doing
