BIG ELF - MADHATTER

[@latinfatuation]

I love the glitter on the lead singers eyes, and of course they have a cool sound!

[@HJimm]

Saw them in Orlando on 4/23 with PTree! Love the total analog sound. 70's rock RULES! Musicians actually had to be musical!

[@guitarknight10]

This band ROCKS! Saw them yesterday opening for DT and they kicked ass! and the singer with a Yoda toy by his keyboard!

[@fathomband]

The greatest artistic injustice of our time is that this amazing band was dismissed by all US major record labels. Big Elf is & always will be one of the greatest Rock bands to ever walk the earth.

[@JscottSears]

Facts 🎯 💯

[@Nelis1324]

Such a shame that this band doesn't exist anymore. I saw them live once, what a thrill!

[@confunicus]

I just saw them in Calgary with the Progressive Nation tour. They blew my mind! The Zappa put me to sleep, then Dream Theater blew my mind again! it was awesome!

[@1kolesar]

great band! I know them better since Saturday :) they were on tour with DT and Opeth here in SL.. I love their music and their style!

[@HighendDT]

GREAT BAND, I for one think it's pretty cool that they wear all those 70's influences up their sleeves that much and sound so retrocool right these days!

[@rifflix]

I am so glad I saw them, just awesome on stage live. I did end up buying their albums "Cheat the Gallows" and Hex.

[@orgasyyz]

I promise you will be surprised on how good they are live!

[@gglaw42]

I've been in to these guys since album one in 1996..good to see their popularity deservidly expanding.

[@TheZbycho]

Muzyczne doznania magiczne dzwięki,wszystko co uwielbiam.

[@ajguillermo]

yeah, me too. At Monterrey, Mexico. Great Band!! All my crew we are going to keep and eye at this band!!

[@jules3951]

VERY PINK FLOYD and thats no bad thing!! love it!!! going to see them at the academy in manchester in february

[@DjSweetline]

I sax them too yesterday at zetih of Lille, With Dream theater, it was incredible....

[@PimpMasterT]

gotta say, these guys put on a cool show, never heard of them till prog nation and they were catchy

[@mrtfuss]

I missed most of them..had the Dream Theater meet and greet at the same time Big Elf played

[@petrucci15]

lol pink floyd and black sabbath much!! im seeing them next weekend in wembley should be awsome! i like them so far

[@renatoribeiro3428]

It's like if Pink Floyd meets Black Sabbath.

[@OOHMIB]

BIG ELF=ELO+BLACK SABBATH!! Great clip,great visuals!!

[@Leetva91]

Yeach, they kicked ass yesterday in Bydgoszcz! Really nice music :)

[@benjamin4d1]

i met these guys when they were on the prog nation tour with Dream Theater, they were awesome live

[@ImPalira]

This Band is AWESOME !!!! i saw them in Frankfurt. They are like Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, and The Doors in one Band. Godlike

[@bojkot49]

these guys are like black sabbath, led zeppelin and kyuss, all rolled into one. awesome :)

[@jimmymcclukcluk]

Saw them last night, incredible show. a few technical difficulties, but well worth the money.

[@MoonNymph775]

saw them a month ago with DT :p absolutely amazing show. wish i could see em again and again. enjoy! :D

[@blauegitarre]

haha i was there too. They were pretty cool. We sneaked up to he stage during Dream Theater's show!

[@StickManga]

ya it was i loved zappa plays zappa almost as much as dream theater

[@punchbrent]

dam cuzz blood.......best band from mad swan gang period..

[@oaxacenio]

sooo great performance in Düsseldorf on Prog Nation Tour!!

[@ericg_2025]

This is the type of song you hate at first, but it begins to grow on you after each listen.

[@jarkko108]

I saw Big Elf at least once in -99 or 2000 in Helsinki Tavastia, when they we're playing in "Never Trust a Hippie" -summerclub, which was hosted by one of the greatest live bands ever, Five Fifteen. Excellent band, though I didn't find this song so good.

[@Docrate1]

Saw it at the Zenith of lille two, these guys are incredible. Best sound i've heard (apart from DT) for a long long time (way better than the other two groups, Unexpect and even Opeth.)

[@oisinholz]

it amazes me that this was uploaded in 2006

[@JonathanPh0enix]

gonna see them today!!! with Prog Nation also horay

[@Daved241]

I saw the with DT playing 2 days ago they are cool mike portnoy played with in this song!

[@DTGeek155]

They were by far the best opening band for Dream Theater. While Zappa Plays Zappa was more technically proficient they failed to hold my attention for their whole set. Bigelf held me riveted from the start. They rocked.

[@ChristosCeros]

The singer!!!! Don't you think!

[@tankwfw]

Going to see them at PT 2009 in MD in about a week

[@MarekJendza]

I know. I was on the show in Bydgoszcz, when they played with DT, Opeth and Unexpect.

[@blackmetalslave1991]

Gonna see them in Oslo the 26th of September :D

[@theclash06013]

Next wednesday I go to see DT, looking forward (somewhat) to seeing Bigelf

[@DennisKresin]

Listening to 0:21++ I thought they'd do a parody of "Another brick in the wall".... I will see them in a few hours in Düsseldorf. I'm quite excited of the warm up bands for Dream Theater.... This sounded quite cool to me!

[@DeadlySinner94]

A mix of black sabbath and badass!!!!

[@DanielReganthatLoP]

just one song man. listen to the new album. goosebumps status

[@billiepulera1008]

Super Very cool

[@marcodesimone6163]

we dont need no.. education ! XD

[@JonathanPh0enix]

I'm gonna see them TODAY :P in Amsterdam

[@_rchives_rchived]

new to this whole sludge stoner metal, got here from witch, and im amazed theres still music like this today! awesofuckinme

[@naxxari69]

amazing band

[@StickManga]

ya but you gotta admit zappa plays zappa was pretty amazing

[@nahuelpalladino]

i talk with them today :D at the Shearaton Hotel. They are really cool guys

[@DTfanforever]

Seeing them tomorrow in Asbury they seem decent but who I really wanna see is Zappa Plays Zappa and of course Dream Theater

[@DTGeek155]

No doubt. I respect their musicianship very much. Especially the girl who played the flute, sax, piano, and sang. It was pretty awesome. Plus they looked like they were havin' a blast. Unfortunately, I was only interested for the first 15-20 minutes of each song, then I felt it got repetitive. However! I respect your opinion, and I definitely enjoyed their portion for the most part.

[@gokce2112]

very entertaining 'cover' band

[@StickManga]

ya man sorry u didnt get to see them there really good live

[@eldesgraciado6690]

Like when Bart and Ralph tried to play Jimmy Buffet!

[@samuellilja1601]

1:04 just paus here. Go on im waiting. 2:34 and here.

[@trebushetbaby]

a little bit of king diamond too

[@mrfuckyourarse2269]

I'm gonna see them la setmana vinent a Barnaaaa, por segunda vez este año!

[@normiami]

I saw yesterday in Miami, the worst sound I have suffered. It was disgusting, people around me with the hands over their ears. I felt sick. And this song, it is like another brick on the wall, as somebody said here.

[@theblindoc]

cool stuff.

[@EmilFinnas94]

I seriously thought it was Iron Man when I heard the first two notes...

[@margix1172]

Interesting...... I trust you :-)

[@sicmick112]

sort of like pink floyd and sabbath, AWESOME!

[@fantastron]

At 0:23 - riff from "I turned to stone" BUDGIE.

[@spurious]

and that line from another brick in the wall

[@sonoflife74]

i think theyre gonna be opening for Porcupine Tree on their next American leg

[@Clematisian]

……. Sheer awesomeness .……

[@StickManga]

there singers really funny i like his tophat

[@dclizardking]

@OddMusicality Yes Orange amps are like a religious experience. :)

[@alimansurr]

i'm gonna see them TODAY :DDD @FunFret he uses Orange, really good amps.

[@divanola]

a lot of "borrowing" from the 70's going on and I don't mind.Foxy Shazam Black Keys etc.

[@RockHistoryTube]

QUESTA CANZONE SPACCA.

[@stavies7525]

Black Floyd? Getting silly now lol - but this is actually a pretty cool song and video!

[@zionite111]

This band is fucking great!

[@im0mole]

david gilmore mush be one of Ozzy offspring,a forgoten child,who then taught music at the school Dmon Fox went to...hence BigElf hahahah i just made that up to all you think people btw :P

[@Smoothbassistthatsme]

same here.

[@nronayne]

Exactly what music video did you work on? ...I've met him several times and hung out with him outside of a work environment and he's a really really nice guy as far as I can tell. P.S. You're right about Froth. He's very cool.

[@AveTierra]

listen to "big Elf - Closer to doom (1996)"... EXELENT LP!!

[@apeonapc]

does the opening verse remind you of that one Pink Floyd song? forget the title, but... "we don't need no education..." the melody.

[@viktordiaz]

muito bom o show deles *-*

[@ruanx2185]

black floyd pink sabbath hhahah

[@delosreyesgino]

HAHAHA! Exactly what i was thinking. the opening riff + the look sounded like IRON MAN. and the laught at the start. OZZY - Crazy Train? hahaha. and the first verses sounds like the verses in ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL. Cool though. i don't think they're ripping them off or something. don't get me wrong :). i just think it's cool. It's probably their influences showing through their music.

[@theblindoc]

Who needs another Sabbath Clone?

[@0kidavenger0]

For the sake of bloody christ the first line is not fromPink Floyd's Brick in the wall, though it might sound like it...

[@DMFChavez]

@missghotica isn't their tour done?...

[@apeonapc]

yoda bobblehead on the left keyboard

[@Gilmourisgreat]

i completly agree, was at the gig and Opeth was just all too much for me, amazing musicians but i just think they've combined metal and prog rock for the worse this time, Whereas Bigelf are just a nice twist on things that have already been done, and is very refreshing rather than abrasive!

[@StevieStarlight]

FUCKIN AMAZING!

[@Anicarama]

100% better live

[@joseswalls]

it sounds like a combination of Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath!!

[@bayeux86]

@moparmav haha that comment was absolutely spot on on a side note I totally want an animated gif of the solo intro, the orange stacks coming out of the ground is fucking EPIC!

[@SamsButterscotch]

@MetallicaFran Reminds me of Crazy Train a bit, especially the laughing, heh.

[@Jamicron]

There is no Dana... Only ZOOL!

[@eli1163]

exactly sounds like there song cant remem song name

[@luaplap]

Awesome! It's all the heavy metal bands into one guy! Luv it. Keep it up. The other loosers have no clue. LOL.

[@Fleshjam]

How can you even compare the uncomparable?

[@STFXLMNS]

I hope they know they are singing almost the same as "We don't need no education"

[@danielainsworth4092]

at 2:17 i swear that sounds just like shes so heavy UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA
