Billy Talent | House Of Strombo

[@TySoSerious]

One of the most tragically underrated bands of all time led by one of the best living guitar players in the world.

[@chris_noswe]

Well that's a low standard

[@p.j.taillon9220]

nobody is as ito what they are doing is Ian D'sa.....the guy dies on stage every night. The whole band leaves nothing on the table. They are Canada's Bruce Springsteen when it comes to live shows......awesome since always.

[@forgotmyname898]

Truth!

[@gmail2728]

Could not have said it better

[@GIGASKUNKKKKKKK]

Perfectly said

[@TobiWanKenobsen]

Ian is probably the most underrated guitarist and songwriter. This style is so unique and sophisticated. There is no band resembling them

[@davidsvenstrup6688]

totally agreed - entirely unique. Such a rare quality

[@paulkarp958]

In a sense, Rage does , but that speaks for itself.. Billy Talent carried torch for them and us ..

[@kairay1000]

He’s got a great guitar sensibility and truly unique style. As a guitarist I find his playing style spectacular and uniquely his. Kudos

[@kurtdahle]

killer riffs

[@peterschaefer1665]

Couldn't agree more!

[@cloudchaser3428]

As a huge bt fan who covers their songs I absolutely agree with this statement

[@CharlieChinchillaTV]

it is what made me buy their first album. His way of riffing his finger technique its all way different from standard. mans hands are built different

[@MrMatthiasSchneider]

How does Billy Talent narrow down a setlist to six songs??? They could play pretty much any song off of any of their albums... they're all great.

[@dma93-ch]

There's absolutely no filler in Billy Talent. Some people may like some songs more than others, but at the end of the day they put all their heart and soul in each one of them. And that's what makes me loyal to them.

[@tylerives5023]

completely agree

[@paulkarp958]

Like going to a TOOL concert.. these guys are great too!!

[@jgquinton]

That RATM cover was off the charts. BT are such quality. So tight.

[@masonboettcher2800]

That rage against the machine cover was one of the coolest things I’ve seen them do.

[@passi951]

Miss Aaron so much.

[@temporarymomentary]

Jordan Hastings is awesome.

[@conzo7633]

It's so beautiful to see him back on the drums

[@passi951]

Black Phillip Jordan is awesome,Love him ,but Aaron is Billy Talent.

[@passi951]

Conzo yeah ❤️..

[@dma93-ch]

I have MS too so I feel his absence so fucking hard... the day I was diagnosed I was wearing their band's shirt at the hospital. I'm a musician too so at that moment he really became the one I look up to the most.

[@robertmaxwell1893]

Nobody is working harder than the guitarist's hair gel

[@smw1986]

Ian D'Brah

[@naed_coral]

Ian remains D'Same :)

[@SandroSanchioni]

dax red... set it and forget it.

[@mmsizzlak]

It's called glue gel... And it's strong with the force

[@Etherealtheband]

you deserve the top comment spot

[@deftloli]

OMG!!!!! ...15 YEARS LATER AND THE ENTIRE BAND HASN'T AGED ONE BIT?! BILLY TALENT HAS ROCKED MY WORLD IN HIGH SCHOOL! I'M 30 NOW AND STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME I HEAR THEM PLAY!!!! GOD BLESS YOU GEORGE!

[@anthonydion2749]

everyone say ian's guitars doesn't get enough recognition but THE BACK VOCALS

[@nathanthomson1931]

Ben and Ian's voices have always meshed really well

[@billmassy]

WHY AM I CRYING?!?! this is so god damn sick! the RATM cover is making me laugh with joy

[@mandin182]

hahaha so unexpected RATM that was really cool to watch

[@gotmilk606]

His voice somehow ends up so similar to Zach de la Rocha's. it's an awesome cover

[@billmassy]

it's so similar i was asking myself how i never made the comparison before. i guess Ben has never really put on a flow like this one before

[@morbosmeatshack]

Man, Ben's vocals are fucking perfect for this!!! Massive shit eating grin on my face watching this

[@kaesekrustechannel]

is making you laugh?

[@drewduncan1541]

I would have done terrible things to have been in that room! So Amazing!

[@hendrikgeiler1084]

Me too. Plus getting kicked out at the first chorus for wanton pogodancing.

[@ellielovesbands]

AARON, WOO! Igot so excited when Aaron got to play drums again.

[@kinabayusegara5439]

[@MeekDrill]

One of the best RATM cover I heard !

[@SharksInYourMouth193]

You should check out Vietnow by Stray from the Path

[@TheKissarmygeneral]

Thanks George. One of the best Canadian bands!

[@songohan511]

I love what Ian is able to do with his guitar

[@billmassy]

i love how happy all the fans look! the women in front of Ian singing every damn word! love it

[@melaniemilot9139]

billmassy she looks like me when Im at billy talent's show🤘

[@naed_coral]

That's me at all their gigs - have got plenty of nods and sang with Ben staring right at me as we nail every lyric with heart :D

[@underpressureman]

So great to see Aaron get up and play!!!

[@sweetsounds152]

Glad to see Aaron's doing alright for himself!

[@Fantomfields]

Billy talent playing in George stroumboulopoulos’ house is one of the most Canadian things I’ve ever seen. God I wish I could’ve gone to this

[@p.j.taillon9220]

Catered by Tim Horton's and Columbia no doubt.

[@ledooni]

That performance on Rusted From The Rain with Aaron was pure magic. I simply love to see him playing with his band because he is such a modest and nice person and he deserves to be up there again. Crying a little bit right now and happy that sometimes life can be a little fair at least!

[@Bariwon1]

I STILL feel like it's a crime that the US music scene has yet to embrace BILLY TALENT

[@ultimatebasses]

With so many great Canadian bands out there, Billy Talent is and always be one of the best.

[@reileyb]

I need more of Billy Talent covers of other songs. ASAP.

[@nicks4802]

reileyb they do a cover of a Buzzcocks song, as well as a cover of a Tragically Hip song. These things should be common knowledge by now

[@reileyb]

I do know about these. as well as Cold Turkey.

[@naed_coral]

But I bet you are missing one, they've done maybe 15 covers now :) Heard Ians... Land of A Thousand Hills even? For love and for country....

[@reileyb]

Thanks! I'll check these out

[@creative_engineer24]

Ian killing it as usual!

[@tonydalllas]

AARON!!!!! THANK YOU BASED GOD

[@helenemalenfant5435]

Discovering House of Strombo years on. Billy Talent X Rage Against the Machine! What an unexpected treat and the guitar! Half expecting cops to show up at George’s house while they played this given the history of live performances 😂

[@johnnyq1233]

Try Honesty is the song that hooked me years ago!!!! You just get better with age like a fine wine.. I'm not done drinking the liquid that is Billy Talent! The new stuff you are putting out is out of this world!!!

[@attackcounterentertainment3645]

wow the rage cover was fucking amazing. His voice is perfect for it

[@duanethebathtub951]

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing their show at the ACC in 2013 and seeing them open for GNR in 2016 at the Dome. I will be back

[@lauralbodin9172]

I really enjoy the black n white video, def.keep the Song/ Video so much more

[@xWESTICLESx]

Found this band when I was like 14 back in about '04. So glad they're still playin some of the tunes from back then, like River Below and Try Honesty. This band fucking rocks.

[@MrKearney12]

Man I listened to a lot of Billy Talent years ago, but not much lately. As a big Rage fan, Benjamin could seriously fill in for Zack if it was needed. I didn't think that could be said for anyone really, but that was an awesome cover.

[@colina1330]

Yeah I was surprised at how much he killed that. Absolutely nailed it.

[@chrisvaughn4399]

Little late to the party for this one.. River Below and Try Honesty. Wow. Just wow. One way ticket to nostalgia-ville. The cassette was black silhouettes on a red and yellow background. Those were the days! Job well done by all with the living room gig. Perfect from start to finish!

[@iamdegroot9025]

Ian's Solo on Bulls on Parade is just insanely good. God tier.

[@Stigma03]

Shout out to whoever mixed this, sounds amazing

[@truthseeker7233]

16:52 Unbelievable what a sound after all these yrs . If You grew up listening to this Your Childhood was Everything💥❤...This Album came out the yr I graduated 🎓 high school what a time to be alive

[@wesleydynna8411]

we need more fucking videos on tv like this , I dunno why bands spend so much money making music vids, just crash houses play music party and record, keep it fuckin real .

[@naed_coral]

This! Yeah mate, I often wonder... how many jams did BT have in just Ians house or garage you know?!

[@ThePrime99ca]

Nice job on the cover.

[@colina1330]

I didn't know Jordan Hastings was in Billy Talent until I saw this, lol. That guy's everywhere.

[@michaelwiznuk]

It seems weird in a way this hasn't already happened. Thanks for putting this series on George. These are really special performances.

[@4thaluvofeverything]

Michael Wiznuk agreed!

[@peterpepper1234]

It’s the 31st December and this cover is the best thing I’ve heard all year 12:03

[@rimshot2952]

Great Band, and what a cover of, Bulls on Parade. Totally Sick......

[@chetporter]

the editing on these is unreal

[@jchales]

Doing a much better job than Prophets Of Rage at covering Bulls On Parade!

[@joeltherrien5310]

Jason Hales do yourself a favour and please watch Denzel Curry’s cover of Bulls on Parade, it’s the best cover I’ve ever heard. He’s considered a “rapper” but he’s a true artist who can do everything.

[@thelisted3004]

God how I wish I could've been there - fave band ever, and the most intimate setting... plus that cover of Bulls On Parade! You can see on people's faces how electric it was to be there. At least we have this incredible video!!

[@dannywayne311]

The audio quality plus cinematics were all privileged to see these guys like it’s closer than live 💪🏽

[@thedrill2834]

Best Gig from Billy talent. Nice Sound result in this small venue

[@justinl3567]

Billy Talent, Please come back to the northeast US. Saw them in 2016 in boston, was a great show

[@maplethemann]

Ian's guitar tone is so perfect for Bulls on Parade

[@vwharman]

When I started listening to these guys their music seemed very current, and of the time. Interesting now 17 years later how the same songs I saw them open for Sum 41 at the Croatian Cultural Centre with sound much more timeless now. Good band.

[@parttroll1]

Discovered them by accident as one of their songs "Try Honesty" was featured on Tiger Woods golf game. Just couldn't stop listening to it and decided to seek out their music. glad I did

[@pukelius4128]

I was stoned out my mind minding my own business with MTV blasting in my room and the 'Red Flag' drums kicked in, then the unique vocals, adding the distorted guitar on top, and it was a truly magical moment for me. Only later i've learned to respect them as musicians, as individuals and as a group.

[@jezuzu2078]

River Below sounded SO good!

[@TTVBoyardD]

wooooowa Billy Talent play Rage.....Awwwwwsome ! Love that band since River Below and it just grows over the years..

[@Twice_Marvel]

Always been my favorite band since I was like 6. That rusted from the rain solo sounded amazing.

[@matthewneidiffer2222]

One of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands

[@RobertVincelli]

Wow, that Rage cover was tight!

[@peterottes6900]

It's a shame that they are not heard of here in the States. I know someone is going to chime in and tell me they are heard on such and such but they should be a household name.. I only happened upon them because late one night there was an ad for their live album celebrating 25 years and when I looked them up I was shocked that they were phenomenal and not being played widespread.. Love these guys.

[@rhdband]

so tight. always a fan of bands that know how to perform live

[@askariyaw]

8:03 George just completely blanking on the lyrics

[@croknok4281]

Awesome show. I got a little nervous when he said they where going to play that cover but wow. great job.

[@BA.77777]

The energy of that band is amazing!

[@mrCaptainFTW]

George, your camera/editing/production team are amazing. One of the best but together live performances i've ever seen!

[@Daryl_N]

This is awesome - love Billy Talent.

[@manoverboard679]

I never knew I wanted a rap rock album from them until now cuz that Rage cover was sick

[@andyhk3]

Damn this is good. How did you make a performance feel so raw and yet sound so clean, in a living room!? Awesome job.

[@standerr]

You record off the mixer instead of a cellphone 😂

[@obahrey5197]

At 1:12 you can see the finish on Ian's guitar fingerboard is so worn away because he constantly picks close to or directly on top of the neck. I love it. That's the sacrifice for amazing tone and dynamics!

[@postofficecb808]

Respecting Meadowvale. Thanks for some awesome tunes and for playing it out in George's basement. The River Below is a personal fav and still as strong as ever. Cheers!

[@dylanhynes1089]

Yes mdv Carmel for life tho ;)

[@xanderuk2]

2020 anyone? Still a great live set

[@russelljr4026]

Back in high school talent show me and my buddy played bulls on parade so many times 😆

[@ilquintopezzo]

It's incredible how this band is so perfect live that the records sound lesser in comparison

[@felipe_silve]

BT covering RATM is something I never thought I needed, but now that I heard it, omg, where was it all my life? Ben has the perfect voice for it, same high pitch crazy raw energy.

[@amirmir494]

still rockin my fav band lot love from Malaysia 🔥🔥🔥

[@lukelush1085]

Favourite band, favourite people 😍

[@lesurferdargent3662]

The sound is soooo good !

[@FamilyKern]

Bulls on Parade! What a cover! Awesome fuzz guitar and it sounded like Zack was in the room.

[@WvonT]

INSANE SOUND

[@geoffreydell9238]

I've listened to a lot of bands in my life and Billy Talent is still my favourite especially after hearing this set!

[@michaelmuirandmyms6161]

Outstanding as always!! And brilliant to see Aaron back behind the kit (F.U.M.S)

[@morganmckinnon-burgess84]

Man, the guitar is just an extension of his body. This is the first time I've watched a video of them physically performing, and the RATM cover blew me away.

[@t45tt4tr]

Amazing vocal cover

[@dvan2672]

Billy talent, please come back to Belleville!!!!

[@ameyferdaus5769]

This is an inspiration to the world man.we love this band and we love what you guys does

[@michaelehrhart9670]

Wow and great Googly Moogly...what an excellent guitarist...will be checking this band out fo sho!!!

[@kyleleon85]

Jonathan Gallant is a fucking monster bassist. Solid as rock.

[@Perezfernando320]

Better then expected on the cover well done guys

[@ronyhumala6484]

Watching them live is on my bucket list :)

[@bhoneydew]

Amazing show

[@Kippelientje]

Literally cried a little at that cover. BT is one of my favorite bands, but RATM is my ultimate favorite band. I can die happy now.

[@_TDS_]

Canadian pride

[@VernsHobbies]

I needed this today. Thank you Billy Talent! Thank you George!

[@wayfarer13]

Sept 9th, 2021 can’t come fast enough.

[@robgrossi2368]

Billy Talent and George doing our city and country proud! Insane how tight the boys are, so great!

[@chestercobblepot6473]

One of my favourite bands covering one of my favourite RATM songs with an amazing set.... Fucking incredible

[@RH-vd3yu]

10 years back, randomly heard this band on youtube. Insantly became a fan

[@Blanka9]

I'm playing this on repeat, it's a great live and very well recorded. I would have loved beeing there :) Billy talent rocks!

[@tatethegreat69]

Got damn this band is amazing - rusted from the rain is next level. Thanks! Great job by the audio engineer too, sounds great

[@aliceposoldova8023]

Incredible. Love Billy Talent.

[@karoleenm5885]

the covers they do are always better than the originals !

[@wayfarer13]

What an insane thing to do Strombo.

[@Ip2always]

They sound exactly like the studio recordings 😮 wow
