Seriously, ATLAS has got to be one of the greatest tracks ever written.

[@kidamathias]

Atlas cannot simply have been written. It’s a state of mind, body and soul.

[@thesierrasillustrator5130]

@@kidamathias as a drummer and life-long music lover, it has impacted all three for me eternally.

[@JackPeloquin]

… you say this as it’s the only song you know. Of course. And it’s gonna sound better without the lame vocals.

[@candlerredden]

​@@JackPeloquin Wrong . Vocals are what makes the song

[@thesierrasillustrator5130]

This is by far one of my most favorite Battles concerts I've found on KZbin to date!!!

[@ahmetcangokceer]

35:39 playing keyboards and talking on the phone. now that's a true multi-tasker

[@torrapa]

Lmao.

[@DiegoAlvarado26]

I like how the interviewer at 19:00 is quite informed about the band's musical style and makes relevant commentaries about their technique. Most interviewers go straight into the band's personal issues and/or general questions. Really nice interview.

[@zebonaut]

Thats Silke Super. She really IS Super. And personally really a sweet charming and ultracool person.

lol ice cream messed up africastle

[@gregchapman3519]

Genuinely though Atlas was about to fall apart at any point.

[@manmademoonmusic]

Anyone know what those keyboard stands are ( or a US equivalent ) ?

[@MM-um7pt]

+Alan David I think they're just standard two-tier keyboard stands that have been radically tilted.

[@literatetree8394]

They are actually addons for synthesizers on a second "floor" but Ian just cranks his regular keyboard stands way down, and puts the second story things on top, and tilts them backwards. I think he is a tall guy, so this might not work for everyone

[@punkmusicmetal]

LOL 4:02 says it all about that loop

[@NoLoveDeepWebbb]

Guys, please, battles is not math rock.... not even prog. rock. But still an awesome band :3

[@modestrocker1]

NoLove DeepWebbb if the drummers 1 is the guitarists 3 then yes its mathrock.

[@NoLoveDeepWebbb]

modestrocker1 As i said, Battles is not even Prog. Rock... and math rock is a more progressive and clomplex version of Prog. Rock

[@JustusVidyo]

NoLove DeepWebbb its kind of math judging by how high the guitar straps are tho.

[@NoLoveDeepWebbb]

Justus Bacon Tapping style doesn't makes a song math rock...

[@SuperDuckPro]

NoLove DeepWebbb Why does it matter what genre it is. If you like da music, you like da music. I personally luv it

Assuming this audio is straight from the board, who the fuck was the audio engineer? I know for a fact that it's not the band, whoever was mixing did a terrible job. Jesus christ they did a disservice to this band

[@SebastianAlvarezz]

Battles is not what once it was :(

[@thenewyorkpauls]

+Sebastian Alvarez I agree and I like that.

[@justawatchin2]

Check out their live videos made more recently. I feel like they grew into being a 3-piece.

[@nathjcaldeira]

yes, it's even better.

[@h3rnaldo]

At this point was pretty obvious that Tyondai Braxton was a great loss

[@nathjcaldeira]

nope, listen to the yabba and re think

[@dfisk79]

man...I don't know...seems like half the show is them dicking around with gear and creating loops. They screwed up Atlas.

[@sonacruz907]

+dfisk79 Yeah, it looked like they were having a few technical difficulties during Atlas.

[@aj90271]

+dfisk79 totally agree, this isn't very good

[@thenewyorkpauls]

+dfisk79 "dicking around with gear and creating loops" is the entire point of Battles. They actually create less of it onstage now than they used to.

[@dfisk79]

+thenewyorkpauls Ok. I guess if that's the point, but man...literally anybody can do this. My little kids actually do this with my equipment at home. This takes very little to no skill at all. Why anyone would pay to see this is beyond me, but hey, if they can make a living at it, then I guess anything is possible.

[@thenewyorkpauls]

dfisk79 The whole "my kids could do this" thing is so played out though. It was said about jazz by classical guys, rock 'n' roll by jazz guys, rap music by rock guys, about grunge/alt-rock by buttrockers/metalheads, and tons of other people say it about the EDM DJ/laptop/MIDI type acts all day now. "Oh, he's just pressing buttons! I could do that!" The thing is, kids could perhaps learn songs well enough to trigger them on MIDI pads in the proper predetermined sequence, but they probably couldn't and/or wouldn't program these loops and compose/arrange these songs in the first place which is really all that matters. I sincerely doubt your kids can play the drums like that (period, never mind with metronome-like rigidity along to a loop) or loop unquantized guitar/bass sounds this well either. I truly mean no disrespect in saying that, it just doesn't sound feasible to me... maybe if you meant "eventually, if time is no object", like that thing about monkeys with typewriters reproducing Shakespeare (not that I'm comparing Battles to Shakespeare; they're way more fun).
