[@1mindlessmusic1]

clapping along to btbam never ends well

[@renegadestrings]

i was thinking the exact same thing

[@nut8856]

I tried it. I bled

[@aaronwalker1678]

I tried, one of my bones broke

[@btvbam]

I've been listening to BTBAM for a year now and listened to every album from start to finish and I realized I was never bored and I never said "This song sucks." to any of their songs. I think it's awesome that BTBAM puts out such amazing material. Anyone else thinks so?

[@austinstowe1718]

Always, I got into them in high school, for years later still buying all their shit online

[@Crain1990]

I'm curious to know if this sentiment still holds true. BTBAM is still one of my favorite bands, but I haven't been able to get in to this new stuff after Coma Ecliptic. None of it hits like Colors, TGMD, or Parallax.

[@LukeZuniga]

every song except for "Millions"

[@pablosanchezsantosjr3893]

@@LukeZuniga every song except the entire coma ecliptic album

[@AllCopsAreBigchungus]

@@Crain1990 I got into them around parallax 2 era, right before coma ecliptic came out, I was a freshman in high school. I wasn’t able to get into the older stuff I thought it was too chaotic and thought the vocals were too harsh. I loved everything P2 and upwards even when automata came out I listened to that a ton and really loved it, still do. Now it’s been like 4-5 years and over the past year and a half my buddy told me to give colors another try and i fell in love with it. I’ve just been spamming their whole discog now for like a year straight because I feel like such a fool for sleeping on the older records so long.Not a bad release imo, everything they’ve put out is so fun and exciting to me. Also just caught em live back to back at Worcester and Hartford, some of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Long Live BTBAM! Colors II is phenomenal!

[@sickstix182]

it blows my mind that a band can play and remember an 18 minute song especially one like this

[@itsallkorn]

9:54 Holy shit, I just totally lost it there. Best band ever.

[@tristanvogel9661]

Look at Dan. He's all over the fucking place.

[@thesecretsuccsociety856]

you know dan is a god if shrek comments about him

[@tim.noonan]

Him and Tommy are the only ones who can afford to have any stage presence lol

[@BlackFriday242]

6:35 Gotta love that quick little drum solo :D My favourite drummer of all time!

[@TristanCorbellari]

14:30 One of the best moments in their whole discography... chills!

[@sidnei-siqueira]

BIG CHILLS!

[@nut8856]

I just came here to watch tommy attempt to do the keyboard solo. And for the Amazing music being played.

[@benjamin3290]

I've heard this song about a thousand times now, but it still brings a little tear to my eye right at the slide guitar section at the end of the song before the reprise. Amazing band.

[@deftones0918]

Look into the picture!!!! Every time Thomas screams that line the world has the potential to explode.

[@samscardina6289]

One of the best songs ever recorded by one of the best bands in the history of recorded music.

[@soccerprog226]

Tommy is flawless live. So ridiculously good.

[@bwomped43]

Dude, one of the best bands I've ever known. I can die happen having heard this band. Thank you.

[@RikkudoSennin]

Man, I hope they release another really high quality DVD like they did with Colours. I loved that dvd, but TGM was by far my favourite album.

[@7riXter]

This is the greatest and best song in the world... ...Tribute

[@BrentUnderwoodmusic]

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS TO COME OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA!!!

[@JohnCrichton]

One of the greatest bands of all time!

[@BrentUnderwoodmusic]

I know the music is hard to play I just wish they moved more live.

[@danielhanson6424]

The* best band to come out of NC (opinion)

[@SlavSquatSenpai]

*Silence* "I love you Paul!!"

[@dwwieb]

Blake is too good. I dream of being as good as him.

[@SuperAria18]

they're not dumb, they're just enjoying the epicness of BTBAM :)

[@MasterCloudKicker]

I never knew we could Swim to The Moon Live!!

[@twilitsaenguani485]

Still BTBAM's best song, it tells a story of human resolve turned to self destruction, gotta love it.

[@returntolifeband]

Dustie with that Mastodon shirt.

[@LMTR14]

is extremely disgusting.

[@tommyk0101]

this song is literally incredible Number 1 by btbam (in my opinion)

[@markwakefield2030]

Never understood why they didn't made a live album for The Great Misdirect...

[@Superdudeawesome135]

Hopefully they’ll do something for its ten year anniversary

[@TheDrewmainia]

[@TheDrewmainia]

@@Superdudeawesome135 Of course, first time seeing the boys ever, and they're going to a smaller venue a lot closer to where I live!

[@austinstowe1718]

@@TheDrewmainia my hope is that they do GMd live on their evening with tours, make it a double album, first record the 20 years set, second record great misdirect live, then maybe a B side with some of the qna questions from the evening with tours

[@JoeyIsMoi]

going to see them do 2 sets in 1 night soon where they will be doing music from all eras of the band, i need them to play this song holy hell.

[@joepatten71]

i remember i pick up silent circus and made my brother listen to it, needless to say he is still crying.

[@thehw]

The meter changes 132 times by my count. I've been learning this one on drums and have it all transcribed. That being said, the drums are almost note for note from the studio version. Pretty impressive.

[@Randinator]

Unreal musicianship.

[@kmx91]

18 mins of eargasm! What a great song!

[@JoeyIsMoi]

basically the best song ever isnt it?

[@bugcurserecords]

What's wrong with them How are they even able to do that

[@thetasworld]

Musicality

Same. But dude.. full TGM tour coming up

[@LSDrums25]

@@apeman939 I'm in Brazil :[[[[[ Gladly they are coming here in March to play a double set. I hope they choose this song cuz it's my favorite from them.

6:37, Blake beating the absolute fuck out of those drums. Amazing drum solo.

[@jacobcracknell]

You don't headband to BTBAM. You just appreciate.

[@SystemOfALeo]

Im happy im going to see them in October with Periphery and The Safety Fire! :)

[@lankeysob]

14:40 I love how he just steps on the median during the breakdown and the whole crowd just holds him up.

[@dwwieb]

Holy shit 11:50 tommy solo and 9:54 paul solo. That's musicality.

[@GSHdesign]

Chills.

[@13L4CKV]

i would KILL to see them play this song live

[@MrRobsworld6]

Hahahahah! someone says, "so many people are stepping on my shoelaces" a little after the 00:34 mark.

[@AwakenTheUnderground]

Actually, he's the bassist in a band called Orbs with Dan Briggs... he was also BTBAM's merch guy on this tour.

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

This song should have replaced white walls as their must play years ago. It's a great outro song

[@ldref]

Documental Song abouht the moons! Fuckin G amazzing

[@13L4CKV]

It's their merch guy. I think he's in a band called Night bear

[@DioGhark]

6:37 i could feel my entire body shivering

[@trippermann]

this song fuckin rules

[@SuperAria18]

I'm sorry but Blake and Dustie were members of Glass Casket, Paul was not :) And about the second singer... did you mean the guy that sang the first vocals? It's by Chuck Johnson

[@renegadestrings]

I know this song is long, bloated, drags a bit before the midway point, and has like 403 different sections.... but mother of god, this song is incredible. a true feast for the ears

[@LMTR14]

shut the fuck up

[@Zooropa_Station]

Lol, that's a bit much. But yes, the comment boils down to "I know this is a BTBAM song but"

[@TheOldSchoolCrisis]

Not any one, it is just too heavy. Tommy, when asked why he chooses to scream in BTBAM replied "Screaming is brootal, metal is brootal, BTBAM is a metal band." That being said, BTBAM defiantly put out my favorite Album this year and is in my top 5 bands right along with Cynic and Protest the Hero.

[@AshleighRiot]

Great footage, dude.

[@xSurfRyderx]

I think it's their merch guy. His name is chuck johnson I believe.

[@alen_ELMLB]

Absolutely INSANE, btw younger Tommy was fking savage 14:22

[@BuckyLastard]

Don't forget Tommy and Paul both played guitar in Raleigh band Prayer For Cleansing

[@seanivins321]

Disappointed with the clean vocals on the first chorus :( But keyboards around 6:20 make up for it :)

[@JoeyIsMoi]

Blake really is a god on drums oh god

[@willmoblo75]

10:58 solo is straight up Beyond this Life by DT

[@beto1580]

To say it's a bit of a stretch is the mother of all euphemisms

[@hoosier9009]

0:33 "Oh my god, so many people are stepping on my shoe laces!"

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

The clapping in the beginning shows me BTBAM have fans that AREN'T musicians too, and I thought it was just us music nerds lol

[@RikkudoSennin]

@jamma246 Ah, alright. Thanks for sharing all of that man, gonna save that and try to work from there to figure out time signatures. =D Greatly appreciated mate!

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

11:49 reminds me of the music on a monopoly game I used to have on my SNES

[@myshoesstink100]

@EMER1CA350 The jig is up. I like winding people up on You Tube when I'm bored. I love how needlessly passionate people are when it comes to a blue tag name giving an outlandish opinion. Well done for not being a crazy person. Oh and for the record they're my favorite band. Dusty and Paul are insanely good!!

[@LukeZuniga]

7:00 the exact second I would've gone apeshit in the crowd

[@bradyward2177]

"Look into the mirror", You sure about that one, Tommy?

[@BlackFriday242]

My favourite band of all time!!! Btw, who was that other vocalist at the beginning?

[@danielhanson6424]

Chuck Johnson, former merch guy. He sings the beginning part on the album, as well.

[@RevJacq]

If this isnt the best song they ever wrote, then it's fucking close

[@TripleTriadGuy]

Dustie wearing a Mastodon t shirt? I highly approve.

[@OscarWichiWichi]

@FALLENxxSKAT3R actually there are a few polyrythms

[@teker33]

Fucking love that Mastodon shirt Dustie is Waring.

someone stepped on the higain- beast channel on 16:24, what a FAT, heavy and tight sound!!! \m/eeetalllll!

[@joeycocco4033]

.....who the hell downvoted this?

[@BeardedBetts]

Tommy Rogers. Also has a side project called Giles. Their bassist, Dan Briggs, has a couple side projects: Trioscapes and Orbs Blake and Dustie...maybe the other guitarist uh...Paul...we're in a band called Glass Casket a while back.

[@W3R3SQU1RR3L]

I liked the part where they blew my mind for 17:55.

[@deftones0918]

Fucking merch guy owns!!

[@ryanhurley7765]

their merch guy

[@__Henry__]

someone said he's their merch guy, i don't if he is or not

[@Atticus0928]

Cant hear the BASS

[@jamma246]

@RikkudoSennin Nah, they are just different time signatures. Polyrhythms are where you overlap two different time-signatures. They are quite odd sounding, and you don't really get them very often. I don't think I hear any in this song, but BTBAM are certainly one of the sort of bands that would use polyrhythms. I don't know many examples- I think there is a bit in 2+2=5 by radiohead which is a polyrythm, although it's difficult to tell.

[@SystemOfALeo]

Can someone tell me who the second singer is?

[@RikkudoSennin]

@jamma246 Ah, alright. That's really interesting, I kinda am trying to learn to hear and pick up on all of this stuff. So it's really cool you shared that. And can you answer if the beginning is a polyrhythm? ;O

[@DickEnchilada]

Dan is nothing short of a god on bass. Jesus fucking Joseph.

[@jamma246]

@RikkudoSennin Do you mean the very beginning- with the xylophone? That's just 4/4, just tap along. There's then a mishmash of time signatures, settles in at 12/8 at 0:49 and then you've got 7/4 at 1:27. I can't go through the whole thing, there are lots of time-signatures here and sometimes it may be open to interpretation where you start counting the bars etc. but there aren't any polyrhythms in here that I've noticed anyway.

[@RikkudoSennin]

@jamma246 Can you explain what polyrhythms are? ;O I think they're time signatures, like, 3, 5, and 7 maybe? I'm not actually sure. ;/

[@addrenalinedrummer]

@winnerbaby44 Yeah that's what I was thinking, but still... Where's the head banging? They just stand there.

[@EMER1CA350]

@myshoesstink100 You sir, are a master of your craft. Assuming your craft is deceiving people on youtube. Regardless, I want Paul to have my children.

[@ithinkthoughti]

holy jebus i think my ears just wet themselves

[@joshizarappa]

did you intend to spell "POLYRYTHEM" like that? just wondering

[@btvbam]

POVYRYVMS EVERYWHERE! lol jk. There's no polyrhythms just a lot of time changes. If you want polyrhythms, check out Meshuggah, Periphery or some After The Burial

[@thatredsoxfan]

Dusty is wearing a Mastodon shirt!

[@lollipophugo]

Stage presence is an important part of the live show though. There's a difference between having a good stage presence and "flailing around" though. Luckily Tommy picks up the slack though, because (as has been said) it is pretty hard to play all that crazy stuff and also move around.

[@shaggy288]

@mensendike i figured that was something you would have to do. if i need to do something on my end let me know.

[@SergeantFive]

Who is the other guy singing those few lines with Tommy?

[@ScrummlyWummly]

goddamn.... they sound exactly the same live.

[@allanbeckett9667]

Mastodon shirt!!

[@ArleighUnchained]

He was a feature, some guy from a different band. Wikipedia that shit. He's a good singer though.

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

@jamma246 I don't believe there are any in this song. You're right, just a ton of timing and tempo shifts.

[@jamma246]

Where exactly are the polyrythms in this song? I only hear a lot of time signature changes.

[@joshizarappa]

10:33 Dustie and Dan look so cool headbaning haha

[@shaggy288]
