Baroness Extended Live Version of "Borderlines"

Before sludge-prog quartet Baroness wrapped up their co-headlining run with Deafheaven, Revolver dropped in on a few of the West Coast tour dates to film John Baizley, Gina Gleason and Co. unveiling the first single from their highly anticipated upcoming fifth LP, 'Gold & Grey,' “Borderlines.” The dynamic song features tons of harmonized, atmospheric riffage from Baizley and Gleason, and absolutely crushes live. Watch this seven-minute extended live version to see the dual-guitar pair in action (and catch a few glimpses into the band's offstage antics, as well).

Agree

[@ShadovvV]

I'd say that's a bit of an overstatement, since they're not what you'd call "groundbreaking". I mean, granted, it's an interesting band, but a lot of the music is somewhat depressive and mediocre.

[@RosieES7]

Still not over how much Gina has made this amazing band EVEN BETTER.

[@paulfitz6614]

@@jakeybball Yeah Pete was incredible, but she has filled the shoes and adds something unique to the band. 99% of pro guitarists couldn't fit as well as she does in this band.

Definitely tripping. She can't come close to Pete or Brian

[@iron_caleb]

It’s hard to put into words how much I love this band. This song is SO GOOD. They always find a way to step it up & push even further with each record, but somehow still maintain a sound that no other band has. Legendary.

Gee whiz what a shining example of modern metal, I love the arrangements here and Gina is a perfect fit, fucking rad, blown away, live it takes on an epic dimension.

Nick doesn't get enough love in any of these videos. Gina and John shredding? Get six cameras on it. Nick is over there absolutely slaying it... let's cut to backstage. Now the crowd. How about Gina shredding backstage while Nick is slaying it? I raise my glass to you, Nick. Keep on crushing it, goddammit.

[@puppetmaster8551]

[@digitaldistancerecords736]

Baroness's new guitar player is amazing.

[@trevorw2841]

Seb is on another fucking level. That little 4 against 3 thing he does on the ride during the chorus is incredible.

[@HairlessMonk]

Yeah that's pretty awesome. I just noticed he also keeps the pattern going at 5:48 and the bass switches to more of a 4/4, then he brings the drums back in at that feel, and the ride pattern never changes, that's sick!

[@gonzorudeboy]

Apart from the love I have for the band, I gotta say this sounds awesome! Kudos to the engineers!

Wishbone Ash, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Baroness - I love bands with great dual lead melodies!!!

[@ahuse1]

please release a live version of the last two albums!

[@AlexHerlan]

Agree'd. Baroness is one of my all time favorite bands, but the biggest complaint I have is Purple and Gold & Grey's mixing and mastering. Its a mess, and the songs sound so much better raw, live, less processed, less polished.

[@jaysellers5397]

They're doing their best work right now.

[@Stevemariscal]

Baroness is the type of band where the whole crowd has to chant along. I love watching this band live. I noticed how somewhat empty-ish the music sounded with just John singing live. If Gina and John sang together most of the time, it would definitely complete their live sound. Anyways, so excited for the new album! Yeeeeee!

[@jm-bn9sy]

Sounded empty and light bc bass was too quiet. And the distortion was weird.

[@REMaks-mm2cn]

I didn't bond with the Purple album for some reason, but this is like an advanced version of the earlier albums. Love the dual guitar playing! I must get a copy of Gold & Grey.

[@carlosjbg]

Great drumming and bass job during the whole song. This song sounds here way better than the studio version. Can't wait to see then live playing the new songs.

[@noogie3784]

To see them in a little club, in Nowhere Illinois, thanks Gina, you guys keep on, until next time. Love from Appleton, Wisconsin.

One of those rare bands that's as good or better live than on their albums! Got to see them play Cleveland recently, probably one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Looking forward to the new album, and to catch them again in Indy!

I think is the other way, almost every band sounds better live than in the album. But yeah, this is great

[@robertotorres611]

I alwayas have loved Baroness and all their amaizing gitar players.... And I have to say that it was hard to me Tim loose leaving the band, BUT since Gena Gleason came in it was a blast in terms not only in music, she and Baroness claim one of the most powerful messages in term of art, offering new role models, making a huuuge statement on openness, diverse an power gerner inclusive banad.... Sorry by the typos, kind of drunk, but thanks and love you guys!!!!

Because it's horrible... ?!

[@buckfuttler2877]

[@zachiswayposi1]

I’m a big fan of how I can clearly hear all of the instruments instead of having the drums completely wash out almost everything else. I’ve already kinda prepared to be disappointed by grey and gold not because the songs are bad, but because the production is awful. Front Toward Enemy is just a brick wall of indiscernible noise.

[@timothyhodges]

​@@zachiswayposi1 I agree that the production on Seasons was pretty awful, but Borderlines sounded perfect to me. I don't know what to expect from Gold & Grey, but what I do know is that Baroness have come out with consistently great albums for years. I can't imagine that the climax of the chromatic series will be a let down. I guess we'll just have to see.

[@brianchristman2598]

@@zachiswayposi1 I was going to comment about the mix in this version specifically because you can't hear the crowd, which for me, is half of what makes live recordings so cool. But, you do have a point about the official version of this song, it's tough to distinctly hear the different parts.

Not to leave the prototypical "Baroness production" comment, but I honestly prefer this mixing to that of the studio version.

[@zachiswayposi1]

Mihai Crivoi I’m secretly hoping he ends up having time to be in Baroness again and they just turn into a triple harmonizing guitar and vocals thing

[@seppheinzl9378]

Listening to these live recordings i realize she is nowhere near Pete's level of precision and power. She plays sloppy at parts, bends out of tune etc... Baizley is and always was doing that but Pete always kinda made up for it. Weak album, weak version of baroness

[@Yeomannn]

Pete is so much better than Gina. 10x tighter, more stage presence. Literally everything better.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Great band, also Gina rules, I don’t think they could’ve picked a better replacement than her.

[@xxczerxx]

Can't they re-mix and rerelease Gold and Grey? Meshuggah did it for Nothing (although I actually like the original!). I think Baroness is the only band I've listened to where the production really takes away from the music
