Great band!! I m a big fan from Portugal.... Australia have some of the best bands in the world ! Big hug for australian people i love your country....!
I am Brissie boy, I met Clint about 10 years ago when he was solo touring Pubs...he played at a venue in Redcliffe, Queensland called the Ambassador (was one of the oldest pubs in AUs, but got demolished due to rich pigs buying off the council...totally should have been heritage listed but I digress) and he was an absolute legend singer even in a pub room that fit 50 people ...voice is magic
One of my all time go to pick me up bands and favourites of all time. Used to go to every single show in Melbourne and Adelaide. Requested and also played there music at nightclubs in Melbourne early 2000’s. Great memories.
I can't believe I snubbed this band when they were first recommended to me. Nearly every single one of their songs is so magnificent that it makes me feel quite dizzy. This song is no exception; I need to feel that riff at a live show before I die.
I work in a venue in Geelong and get to see so many brilliant bands play there while I work. The Butterfly Effect played there on friday, and Karnivool are playing there next month. It really is an awesome job lol =)
Australa has had amazing bands for years and years, some include AC/DC, Midnight Oil, The Living End, Powder Finger, Silverchair, Jet, Wolfmother (debatable) etc
@qfbass you should've been at the metro 9th july, that would've been the closest, with floating me & thousand needles in red under the same roof (boge sings for TNIR & stockman's bassist of floating me; as a bonus their drummer is borich of cog)- best $22 gig ever!!
@qfbass closest i've been is seeing floating me & thousand needles in red, both bands may be side projects but they retain the same older styles of respective bands!
well, there are so many amazing bands in the states (at least in the past)...i can't agree with you because of that... but actually, since I found out those aussie bands (tbe,karnivook,thesunpilots,dlc,...), I'm stuck in these bands and there are hardly 2 or 3 U$A current bands that I'm following.,.
My friend just introduced me to this awesome music! How have I missed this??? So proud to claim them as our own :) Oh and @jacklimon89 - lets not bring Tolkien into this :P And @tintonious - if you don't like it, click the thumbs down and just be done with it
@OhNoItsaCounterTroll Good call bro, just checked out Chromium on your suggestion. They sound a bit like Killswitch but without all the wank. Will be buying 1 of their albums for sure next time I'm in the music store. Hopefully they stock it in Oz, they look kinda underground.
you sure? i thought begins here was by some dude from modern music, imago was done (well the majority of it) by the same guy who did tool..and the most recent one was forester savell
@OhNoItsaCounterTroll This aint gonna be as good as your suggestion but check out Cripple Mr Onion, they got 1 song on youtube called "6 days of silence". Both the bassist and lead singer/guitarist play custom made 8 string instuments and believe me they knew how to use them. I used to kick around with these blokes when I was in the New Zealand metal scene, opened for them a few times. The recording and video clip is all funded by their day jobs, so it ain't great but they were an awesome band
Music played on American stations isn't our own music thank you. Part of the music industry is conquering other parts of the world with your song, for any non-american band it is a huge leap for them to even get CD's here as is for American bands getting their stuff played in other regions. Hell there are bands in the US that don't even get played. I myself enjoy anything that sounds good and I order CD's from across the world. Not everyone is narrow minded, making your comment ignorant.
i play in a band. i write music. and i couldn't agree more. my opinion is irrelevant. it is what it is. perform or go home. welcome to the future brother
why do people diss them for? they're great. and so what if they don't particulary identify as aussie. It's not like it matters does it? what matters is that they have a sense of melody and outstanding bass lines
Anyone know the chorus time signature? I'm getting 4/4, 7/8, 4/4, 4/4, 9/8, 4/4. That works but when you count it, it sounds really off-beat and out of time. There is probably an easier way.
hey can any one send me a butterfly effect album or the link so i can download them coz im broke buyin a new guitar...but not conversation of kings i own that already thanks
@benzsherz Unlike my fellow countrymen/women who take offense to your statement of yanks being narrow minded wankers, I do have to agree. I can't say I know all about the Australian rock/metal scene, but I've yet to be disappointed with any Australian band I've ever come across. Australia, to my limited understanding borne in an immensely self-absorbed and xenophobic society, does rock like no other. If I didn't think national pride was abominable in every sense, I'd say yours is well founded.
