Beck - Chemtrails - Live at Melkweg, Amsterdam

Beck performs Chemtrails from the album Modern Guilt at Melkweg. This was a warm-up show for his upcoming tour, so no stage props or anything.

[@Pajablanca531]

is there anyone else who feels that this song is life changing

[@EmmaBuencha]

This song changed my way of seeing music

[@tiagocorreia5878]

Kevin Parker...

[@RToffler]

@socksies5 dude everything is topnotch. Well, a bit more stage energy would have been nice...

[@lonniecain1294]

One of the best drumming performances I've ever seen!! Great song with real meaning!!

[@Blackfintuna24]

Joey Waronker??

[@humanthehuman]

Lonnie Cain he isn't even playing according to what's on the album

[@aubreymitchell3465]

IKR? I recommend enjoying the entire video just watching the drummer. It's awesome.

[@tydlifuk]

No doubt the drums dominate the song. Still, you have to admire how the composer (Beck) has elegantly allowed the drums to do so

[@Leodicaprionardo]

Im the only one left other than beck who knows what his music means and thats something im gonna have to take to my grave out of respect

[@MrMelForet]

fucking badass drummer.

[@tiagocorreia5878]

You bet!

[@Wavelength247]

Just stunning, thanks for posting, seeing his genius LIVE in approximately 30 days!

[@SworDsYv2]

does that make beck any less of an artist? he wasn't converted to scientology, he was raised on it. his parents told him that and he believed it, along with "don't talk to strangers" and so on. i don't think it is fair to hold that against someone. its like saying you don't respect a black person because they were raised black, or a women because they were raised a women (and don't say you can't change those because you can; just look at Michael Jackson).

[@lasquared777]

Try playin the Drums to this tune!!******* 🎶🥁😆👀

[@metamorphosis67]

What plagiarism ? The only thing this song has in common with that Aprodite's Child song is the slow intro into the loud drums. That's It ! Everything else, the melody, the lyrics, the feel of the tune is totally different. If that's plagiarism, bears don't shit in the woods. Beck's song is also by far the better quality song. The AC song is silly

[@c.w2214]

burried by google , soon gone, 43k views? more like 4.3 million

[@Altri82]

He used to have a girl on the guitar at the Modern Guilt album... where is she?

[@madebyjordan]

Pet hate: watching people stand lifeless in the front row during really fucking awesome tunes - the crowd are standing there like they've been catching chemtrails from a jet stream directly in the face, I would be going ballistic for this tune!

[@andrewscott5302]

They don't need chemtrails, they're already highh ayyy

[@cerwinvegafan]

crowd sucks they need to get involved

[@PhantomWarlock]

probably the best song off that album. and most epic

[@TheWiggz22]

Magic

[@lazydog1484]

The drums make this song truly great.

[@Gyozomroka]

badass bass too! Rhythm section win in this song.

[@Lorkoification]

The drummer reminds me of Jon Theodore drummings.

[@SworDsYv2]

again, he didn't join it. he was raised on it. there is a world of difference. and i don't care how much you bash Christianity, you wouldn't have posted this on a nickelback video. also, i don't think you can judge a religion off of the profession of the person who started it. and anyways, how do you know the dynamics of his family? i know a guitarist who is aetheist but his parents raised him Mormon, but he hasn't told them that he isn't. can't really do something like that if you're beck.

[@SworDsYv2]

firstly, there is a difference between being not an artist and less of an artist. and just because he has different beliefs than you doesn't mean his views are insane. my point is that you wouldn't have posted any of this about someone being christian. actually his political views from my expirience are actaully pretty on point. but that is a bold statement because i don't know too much about his political views. just from what i do know, i mostly agree with.

[@konnyknees]

protect themselves from poisoning their own environment? Why are you arrogantly assuming it affects the environment rather than just a specific or measured area? I'm not saying you're wrong or right, but think in perspective

[@misterkel10]

sloppyjotbone, what is the song about then? I have heard chemtrail used in only ONE CONTEXT. If you're going to say it isn't about that, then you should propose your alternate theory. Otherwise you appear a stooge.

[@SworDsYv2]

yeah, Scientology is scary shit. but thats not what this song is about, so i'm guessing you didn't know that. i also think its funny that no one that is posting here actually knows what chemtrails are.

[@DamonIcke]

I guess "mostly everyone" isn't a crazy conspiracy theorist. Which street corner do you shout from? What does it say on your sandwich board? Beck is a decent songwriter, but I'm not joining his cult.

[@wallybeery4058]

I agree this is a great song - the bass/drums in partik. But the sound on this recording doesn't do it too much justice IMO. I'm sure it sounded much better THERE.

[@AliceDamnation]

Haven't seen this genius since 1999! I wish he came back to PT!

[@c.w2214]

so many people

[@catherinezetareticuli9003]

people need to stop recording gigs on phones .the sound is awful/just be in the moment

[@orangejulius3]

wow i just realised how much beck uses danelectros

[@xldear23]

So over everyone's head and so brilliant. Just like Chemtrials. Great video.

[@c.w2214]

so many people

[@nklslinde21]

yea, i love how he goes from silent to nuts at the end

[@Leodicaprionardo]

Rest in peace Andy

[@misteranderson41]

best song off the new album!

[@artubecl]

este loco se pone cada vez mas güeno

[@DamonIcke]

I never said he wasn't an artist. He's eccentric and whacky. He's a musician. When I want to hear a good song I'll turn to Beck, but when I want information from someone with a sane worldview, I'll look elsewhere.

[@c.w2214]

could be lazered as they dont exsist on any flight paterns.so no proof of lazering them down. build a chemplane laser machine no law about lasering air without a plane in the sky. get it? the planes are not on flight records so no harm no foul. how could you nbe in trouble if the plane dont exsist? nothing wrong with shooting a laser in open sky.

[@lucianom3585]

Is he singing about real contamination by jet engines? Or is it about a crazy conspiracy? I would like to think that is about the former. Anyway, artistically, it is a beautiful song, full of calmness and energy at the same time.

[@Gyozomroka]

does anyone have absolutely any idea how to play this on bass? please message me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[@Wavelength247]

Plectra666 I am FREAKING OUT!!! I can hardly sleep as it is....The BEST thing you've EVER SEEN?! Why am I NOT surprised? because I KNOW what a freaking genius he IS,bless you!!!I've got two weeks left to go....

[@jdgonzo1982]

one day i'll be able to watch a decent drum cover of this song...this will do for now!! (i love the drums on this track...so much!!) x

[@SamCooper]

Joey Waronker plays the drums on the studio version. He also plays with Atoms For Peace.

[@imafishgod]

The best rocker still putting that message out there!I hope he tours our area & spreads the word & his jams! Peace♥

[@thenoseymethod]

spacey vocals. the version of Soldier Jane he did at this show is really cool too.

[@wolftek]

is mostly everyone missing the fact that this is meant to be an informative song?

[@beapj254]

Gran tema. Sin duda. Cataléptico, intrigante y afortunado.

[@Dashizz327]

I'm not gonna take life advice from a guy who typed "artest."

[@Wavelength247]

I HAVE TO see this tour! Modern Guilt is a masterpiece. Beck is STILL da man.

[@Wombat_Matt]

Great video!!! Wish i was there.

[@yeah.cheers]

Beck's mannerisms are so much like Kurt Cobain's here.

[@PTMC808]

i tried to learn it and i've been drumming for 3+ years.. i failed :(

[@c.w2214]

sad part is , its been sprayed for 60 years already, now its 24/7

[@BowenHumphrey]

can't wait, seeing him at hollywood bowl and outside lands

[@popleto]

The drummer has to be a robot !!!! :D cool drumming

[@goozerdog]

great song, great album, I'm pumped for bumbershoot

[@shid007]

Who's the other guitar player/singer there??

[@monkeypeas]

and damn good plagiarism at that!!

[@TheMysticsPlace]

Hey #UN#, I'm digging the video.

[@hashkat]

[@madebyjordan]

Way to rock front row. Jeez.

[@electrocute1979]

[@Bertothethird]

Thank you for this vid, fantastic song!

[@La3li]

[@bbqbeers]

You know you're so right

[@c.w2214]

[@TheWiggz22]

Foooooking magic love this tune.

[@c.w2214]

lazers

[@Cnew11]

amazing live

[@JAVA2927]

nice atmosfera

[@zeerocooler]

megasuper

[@samuelshepard]

drums are weak compared tot he recording. (thought i'd comment on the actual video for a change of pace... i'm unique..)

[@DamonIcke]

I don't get what you're saying.All I've said on this video is that Beck is talented and batshit crazy.You seem to be saying that because his parents pushed scientology on him that makes his views less ridiculous. Just because someone can write a song doesn't mean I'm going to believe the crazy that comes out of his mouth. How do the people responsible for chemtrails protect themselves from poisoning their own environment. I keep asking, yet no one here is willing to answer. Cause it's bullshit.

[@classygary]

Damon Icke look up the word antidote.

[@negativezero3107]

wow that guy isn't bad on bass but he is no JMJ
