between the buried and me- selkies: the endless obsession

between the buried and me

[@K3VIN552]

I love how they are playing in front of like 50 people, and they are still just as good live as if they were doing a dvd.....they are awesome

[@Converge855]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard...EVER!

[@lewisalcazar666]

Im in the front row, this video was uploaded on google before youtube was even created...classic. Great bunch of musicians.

[@scar3crow86]

this is my fav song by them..one of the best bands of all time...and the solo at the end is just beautiful..thats fucking art

[@SotoBaggins]

Tommy rodgers is my hero and this whole band pretty much...one of the best metal bands around....in variety and music composition

[@moriyokiri3229]

One of the only videos where the bassist actually is filmed, Dan is flawless.

[@DTGskadoosh]

i love how Paul just stares at his guitar the whole time

[@garrett2859]

This is one of my favorite songs

[@Hornet0323]

I like how he sings like he is giving a speech (note the arm movement). This band is great and they have an awesome sound that sets them apart from most of the mainstream garbage that is coming out now. F***ing Great!

[@QQD4]

They're so talented...This song is amazing!!!

[@rustinpeace83]

Couldnt have put it better myself dude. Could listen to Colors and Alaska on repeat for the rest of my life and not get bored!

[@chaos499]

i love that the vocals are so perfect... and everything of course... it's just hard to find such accuracy

[@jarhead57vn]

the greatest song ever by the greatest band ever.

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

That's the beauty though. It shows how he can be full of utter chaos for a set time, then they can slow it down that much and release the swelling emotion of the song.

[@Eltristo124]

talent in its entirety...right there i love these guys, cant wait to see em live

[@JaysonCasper]

17 years later and still wondering why I’m watching the keyboard during the most epic guitar solo ever created

[@mrbrian9]

this band is amazing, go see them, support them.

[@tambian89]

Awesome song; these guys are really technical. The intro shifts between 7/8, 13/16, 14/16, and 15/16.

[@wonderlic]

I was trying to find a ring tone for Slayer and Sprint popped this band up as the closest match and I loved it. So they accidently gained a new fan by chance.

[@mikevmpr3]

holy shit this is the best THE BEST COVER EVER, its all around perfect dude! I LOVE it

[@a7xguitar666]

okay i love paul and dan as much as anyone but who the hell films selkies and doesnt focus on paul's solos... >.>

[@Mess1ahcomplex21]

Between the Buried and Me is a pretty cool guy. Eh plays perfect live and doesn't afraid of anything.

[@rOkstar2412]

their bass player is amazing

[@Elderhutchy]

very skilled band. riffs are amazing.

[@Bikerboi13]

i was amazed the first time i actually heard this song all the way through, epic song

[@kanosk88]

this band is awesome, really awesome

[@andsykes]

in my opinion, btbam is one of the most talented metal bands around today

[@andsykes]

wow... they're incredible live.

[@WHTMBassist]

Perfect performance

[@Guitarded1505]

im going to tell you why btbam was the best show ive ever been to. my bro and i grabbed two beers and got right in the front, in front of paul for obvious reasons. they didnt say "mosh", they didnt say "circle it up" or "raise your fist, drug free"(lol throwdown), they just played and it felt like it was my own personal show of beautiful music. (regardless of the 100 kids behind me punching and kicking air, missing out on the real show right in front of them.)

[@earlbrown33]

this is an amazing band, unlike any other

[@johnquixhote]

let me qualify: Aesthetic has the lyrics that really stuck out to me, especially at the end. and the other song on Silent Circus is called "Ad A Dglgmut". lyrics in that one are funny, too. pretty much tommy saying "none of you understand why i sing, youre all just sheep" as far as i can tell. they really dont care about anyone else and i love it.

[@threefingeredben]

this is good stuff. i admire BTBAM's ability to produce good, progressive music and still retain the ability to produce it live. They are one of the better modern bands around and bar none the best metalcore around...not that that's a HUGE compliment...I'll re-phrase: they are some of the best of METAL! (and COLORS rocks).

[@johnquixhote]

hell yea dude. plus look at how they sit there and PLAY the MUSIC. they dont jump around everywhere, and during the slow part they could care less if the crowd is disappointed that they cant mosh. that's why i love them. plus, by tommy's lyrics on other songs you can tell he and the band do it for the passion of playing music and nothing else. look at Ad Al Dglmut's lyrics on the silent circus. they're coming to my town in august and i cant wait to be there to support them!

[@SabianDrummerDude]

the bassist has such a dorky stage presence, i LOVE it :D :D :D

[@toolguitarkid]

OMG!!! i love the alternate solo at the end! makes it sound gorgeous. this band is real music. period.

[@bobthemunk]

even so, you definitely have to give Tool a nod for creativity and very soulful music. speaking as a huge fan of both, i think both groups have tremendous talent and an enormous capacity for writing wonderful music.

[@DagoGarcia]

guys. what matters here the most is BTBAM is the best band in the land. they're the reason I started listening to metal again. They own it. So badass. plus Anatomy of... is like one of my favorite albums because of the ridiculous variety of songs.

[@xyoitsnickx]

So BTBAM are hands down some of the best musicians around today.

[@herecomethefuzz]

If i could listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be it And i'd spend my time also learning it on every instrument known to man... Imagine, Selkies on a keytar :)

[@andrewski777]

these guys are awesome. they remind me of ELP. (emerson, lake, and palmer)

[@soyelmore]

jus the best band ever love them =]

[@mistamontiel]

The intro is hilarious. Bassist and vocalist look like twins !!

[@gsiddarth]

Wow, these guys are incredibly great...like, they have just reached the zenith that Opeth are on.

[@joshlet]

its amazing how much they sound like dreamtheater - a far superior band in every respect.

[@zatchsnatch]

this is amazing. nice vid.

[@XXXsadkittyXXX]

i love these guys with all my herat

[@xxxedgeisstrongxxx]

so perfect.

[@mn92160958]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@jesseissmooth]

they are amazing. they play even more perfect than the CD. thanks man for giving such an awesome video, although I would have liked to see the sweeps.

[@thomasj12e34]

my 2nd favorite song off the album

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

Well Dan is a beast of that four string that he wields.

[@Peter7beardmaster]

My fav song from them ;D

[@ihatecellphones]

AWEsome!

[@frankyh101]

best progressive band since dream theater.

[@DT1593]

i just got back from the colors dvd shoot. and it was FUCKING AMAZING. flawless from start to finish.

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

They are, literally, the most amazing musical experience the world has to offer. All those tools who glorify Tool as deities don't even undrstand. I was reading a forum that said if you don't think drugs have done anything good for us, to burn all of your albums because they're all influenced by people who were high as fuck. Not this band. They're the creators of absolute beauty, and no drugs were involved. Fuck Tool. Fuck Drugs. Hail Between The Buried And Me.

[@kowchxpteito]

i guarantee you btbam is one of the better metal bands you will ever see live.

[@DadRockProject]

cool track!

[@TomaszHuczek]

Perfect.

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

amazing.

[@Fearcity..]

nothing can out beat there self title sir

[@michaelprodigy]

CHAOS HAS NEVER BEEN SO PRECISE...

[@K3VIN552]

Well I enjoy fast music more when I'm "running around like a kid" I'm sure they have some mosh pits, but you are correct, their musicianship is really amazing, and thats what attracts most of their crowds.

[@cameronmullen]

you dont have to know the timing in the song to rock to it. even the people who know nothing about music should know this... rock on.

[@meowbark123]

Whoever was filming this should know it's like an unspoken rule to focus on the one giving the solo. Especially during those insane sweeps.

[@BrandonRayhaun]

such power in his scream, especially for him being that skinny, thats impressive

[@professorcam7]

that looks like a coffee shop they're playin' in

[@Omega1874]

Prog rules the day no matter what. Probably best technical band besides Dream Theater. I want to see a video or live footage of this song. Badass.

[@tranquil87]

so good

[@bizzles44]

I love these guys, they're so different from any band thats out right now. God damn i wish their songs wouldnt be so fucking long tho.

[@AndrewBravener]

not even, how sad, we only got to see the lead, banging his head while all the shredding was missed :(.

[@enacku]

You should be lucky enough that its filmed for us to watch it.

[@sneakbobcat]

White Walls and Sun Of Nothing from their new album Colors are brilliant.

[@MyEggIsBoiled]

You're right. I always refer to a bass as a four string, just because that's how it usually goes.

[@BrandonRayhaun]

haha he always does the same hand movements, awesome

[@fripozo]

joder pero ke wenos son y ke gran bajista dentro de los grupos de metal, es lo mejor ke encontrare en muxo tempo, grandioso **

[@JKT84]

holy shit.... they sound friggin amazing live yeah he may not have filmed the sickass sweeps, but you gotta admit the soundquality is pretty damn quality for an amateur recording.

[@Ampullae]

quite the degree of focus. this performance is all trip.

[@novemberunderground]

gotta love Waggoners' Def Leppard tee

[@faronhemlock]

you guys have to buy their new live cd. COLORS...... this cd is going to make you cream your pants. these dudes are extraordinary musicians. i wish i had their talent and grace, and the sound guy is a genious cuz i saw them @ the white rabbit in SAN ANTONIO, TX and they sounded beautifully.

[@numberoath]

HELL! YES!

[@PercussivePiracy]

Jeez, that stage is like the size of my bathroom!

[@irvy123]

Man, their drummer makes it look so easy...

[@GbalZZZ]

best bass player ever! sheit.

[@rollrsk8r98]

you can hear the jazz in their songs.

[@lyzd3x1c]

i can pretty much completely agree with you.

[@ButcherInABirdcage]

thank god thats available

[@yoshi529]

c'mon move the camera to Paul when he's doing the sweeps at 6:20 xD

[@zenocomplex]

very true.

[@JonnyZye]

yes, they are very jazz influenced.

[@bmullecker]

Favorite song off of Colors, personally.

[@StuartHetzler]

@Orion92786 This video was shot before they even released Colors. They are selling out large venues now.

[@xiiieternal]

Thats baby makin music.

[@weevil3582]

HAHA! i like your humor.

[@shadybrain3424]

hey everyones got their metalocalypse moment these days.

[@marcxdestroyer]

badass musicians

[@JonnyZye]

yeah, i am a fan of both too, but you cant deny that the time signature and the riff is very similar. I believe Btbam are fans of king crimson too..

[@Zifirl]

Progressive Metalcore. Simple as that.

[@framan777]

They're just wholesome lads, lol
