🎵 At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor REACTION

[@markperry6017]

"I don't know whats going on, but I like the feeling" that is exactly the point of this music

[@corkydukeII5898]

Aren't these the guys that went on to form Mars Volta?

[@marcguidetti3081]

Yes and Sparta as well

[@Damocamo77]

Sparta. Look daggers. Bosnian rainbows.

[@BeersAndBeatsPDX]

And SleeperCar ​@@Damocamo77

[@mbii7667]

​@@marcguidetti3081 I definitely prefer Sparta over The Mars Volta

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Life changing band for me. We had a lot of fun covering their stuff on our channel

[@richardthomas74]

So cool to see you checking out At the Drive In for the first time. I highly recommend looking up their Jools Holland performance for this song. It's the stuff of legend. And of course, you should probably check out the bands that formed from the remnants of ATDI: The Mars Volta and Sparta.

[@robertpetre9378]

I think at the drive-in considered themselves a post-hard-core band, so basically like hard-core punk, but a little bit more creative 😅

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Ya. Artsy punk like the band Fugazi.

[@robertpetre9378]

@@jeffreekoch9298 yeah basically

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

Love this band, but my FAVORITE from this album is Cosmonaut, hands down!

[@kane5445]

Cosmonaut a goodie

[@ScramJamJohnson]

Genre is Post-Hardcore, and they're one of the biggest examples of the genre along with Glassjaw and early Alexisonfire.

[@UncleBuckberger]

My buddy toured with them. Awesome guys!

[@Pancakespls]

Oh shit, it's my boys.

[@jorgevargas3026]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Wither81]

Gotta check out Invalid Litter Dept from the same album, it’s a masterpiece

[@jglumi]

ATDI is one of the best 2000 bands...

[@adamkemper8269]

90's for me

[@jglumi]

@@adamkemper8269 well yeah, 1996 and so on. but you get it

[@adamkemper8269]

@@jglumi Riot fest 2017 was the first and only time I saw them live.. Wife was amazed at the amount of people rushing towards their stage

[@adamkemper8269]

Could hear Wu-Tang Clan in the background

[@Todesmilch]

You'll see

[@josephstalin322]

Post Hardcore is the genre but alt rock is close enough lol

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Brad needs to hear Arc Arsenal .. one of the best openers of all time.

[@GaryKirkham-ju8gw]

Hmm ... Brad's Songbook For People Who Can't Sing ... I like it! ☺

[@PhillipRaymondGoodman]

This album is something I've listened to on and off for 20 plus years, I've never once thought of what the meaning of the lyrics might be, I just enjoy the sheer invention of the music and the vocals are 100% part of that, they're not going over the top of it they're part of the whole thing, honestly though it's still one of my favourite albums and something that I've never seen or heard anything else get anywhere near too, including the bands other work, they really pulled out all the stops with this.

[@FoxQueen13853]

I love this song!

[@ponfed]

My man Brad getting lost in it! Love it! 😊

[@castle07dw]

Epic song imo. Glad you liked it

[@JohnAlcala-SonorDrummer]

Right on Brad, good choice in a Reaction. These guys are or were one of the best post punk genre. Great song!!! Check out the Mars Volta, the singer & guitarist formed that band., another killer band..

[@CMHixen]

First time I heard the term Emo was mtv talking about ATDI.

[@edcurtis6696]

Nicely done! Several of these guys went on to form The Mars Volta. TMV is pretty epic, I suspect they’re more Lex’s stylistic preference than yours. Anyway, thanks for doing this song! 🤙

[@onceagain77]

I did a lot of drugs listening to At The Drive In.

[@milk.carton.angel.777]

It's good opiate music

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Lyrics are cut away cut away .. send transmission from the one armed scissor. I always thought the one armed scissor is a guitar and this song is an ode to being in a rock band on tour. Cedric is a human thesaurus of a songwriter and he will have you looking up words you never heard before.

[@rodhenderson690]

Ambiguity is the fundamental basis of songwriting - made so you can interpret it however you want. But this guy is an actual poet! As all art is - the expression is only relevant to the observer … it makes sense to me.

[@mat_j]

"get away"? what?

[@radioactivetrees9626]

[@davidricart1395]

if you like these guys, please check out Drive Like Jehu

[@larkinshay3251]

Song is about how the whole band was on heroin during a tour

[@thebenc1537]

It's "cut away" not "get away". This is about suicide.
