Cog - What If? [Official Video]

[@theapplekingdom5493]

This is a 16 year old song, and these guys sound even younger live. In Cog we trust.

[@crystalmcglinn03]

F this was awesome live tonight at Manning bar. Been 20 years between seeing cog live still fn kick hard

[@ChefGrub87]

I hope you see this message guys. I have been a fan of your music for over 10 years and love it all. I had the opportunity to watch you guys play in a little hall in Ballarat years ago and it still resonates with me. I feel you saw coming what we are experiencing today with Covid 19 government response. I was too young to see it back then, but understand now. I see truth in all of your music and hope one day to shake your hands, united as one.

[@simono463]

Most underrated band in Australia including Karnivool :)

[@saintessa]

How did I not know they're one of us? They come from the future too, that's why our country doesn't exist to all those theories 🤯

[@trainmanification]

Very very highly rated...since day one

[@nagadorset]

You beat me to it Simon . I am now 67 yeah, and when I first heard this song on JJJ radio, I was a goner! What a song! What an incredibly uplifting and powerful burst of energy it is! It took me up and swept me away. From 2009 until 2020....The New Normal.- a song for NOW

[@simono463]

The bands that other bands listen to :)

[@nathanatkin1984]

Untouchable brilliance.

[@Systematiclol]

bloke waked over and gave me a cd of the first cog album burnt in a cd when i was a kid playing 10 hours a day in the garage on the guitar. pretty sure he was from cog haha

[@ruukusanla]

one of the best progressive motions of post grunge rock ever. so underrated this band and especially this song. thimbs way up

[@ruukusanla]

thats right gramma nazi'... thimbs

[@stevenstewart8275]

Yea, They got a really unique sound, not too many bands I know sound like them.

[@ruukusanla]

@@stevenstewart8275 hope you know of tesseract. Another favourite of mine in 32 leaves. Only two albums but great IMO the band broke off and then turned into Codec with sadly only one album called horizontime. But the album's they did especially Codec, wow. Happy listening

[@stevenstewart8275]

@@ruukusanla Yea, Tesseract is great. I actually discovered them a little after Cog. The two bands are not really that similar though. I never heard of 32 leaves. I'll have to check them out. Thanks!

[@Dave38832572]

Ive seen them play the river song live at Homebake 05. The lead singer of Mammal did the speaking part, it was sick!

[@smellyfistoffury]

i heard this song in a snowboarding promo off sports tonight channel 10 about 2 yrs ago, ever since then ive loved COG

[@bull1890]

Remember seeing Cog live Clarence Corner Hotel Wollongabba 2004. Fkn good times.

[@ashstimbercreations]

Don't burn it, buy the thing! If any one out there deserves everything they get, these guys are it. Buy their records, do what ever you can to support them. We wont get to see them again, but still support them!!

[@jesusisrael6174]

I just love so much this band!! It's so amazing...

[@Jackinyourbox]

Such a shame that this band didnt get more traction. Absolutely brilliant!

[@mixa166]

+sinisterbrutality I agree, I always felt Tool stole the limelight from these guys, the true masters of Aussie prog styled rock for me.

[@andrewlockett4569]

Darren Morse that's absurd, Tool formed back in 1989/90, how the hell could they steal Cog's limelight? anyway, completely different sounds and structure, these bands are nothing like each other.

[@mixa166]

It's not s bad as it reads mate relax. I just meant I always found so many people knew of and loved Tool and had never heard of COG and agreed it was a shame as I have found a lot of people that like Tool have been blown away when they head COG and agreed, it was a shame they had never heard of them sooner.

[@ikaris8128]

making a comeback sell out shows everywhere they go :)

[@peterschultz2711]

Great fucking band

[@anonimo7666]

Awesome! i hope to see the band in Chile someday!!

[@samtucan000]

Love love love

[@Qwentux]

If I ever find myself in Australia... definitely looking these gents up.

[@mynock7729]

yet again......another lost great band...who came from australia and didnt get the support they needed to.....to garner much props!!!!!!!...great lyrics....awesome bass, amazing lead.......talk to actual knowledgeable foreign born music heads and they are blown away by how amazing these guys are.....

[@MrProgrok]

They are coming back!!

[@pablojones5613]

One of the most amazing and soulful voices in music history. Never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@ffffffffffff691]

choose freedom,open up government to people relations,i did today met with my local member and im on the way to government funding to teach the homeless how to build thier own homes,it will fix the skill shortage and homelessness and the econimy,all i had to do was what if in the future people just decided to choose freedom,stay free and choose freedom unconditionally from the inside if thats what it takes

[@Palunio]

COG in my heart since 2009 love your music guys !

[@Carljung.we.are.what.we.hate.]

Keep the truth alive cog

[@farlapjones]

Truly ahead of their time.

[@punctata]

Best band on earth! What If?... That IS the question (take heed)!

[@3rdeyeulogynima566]

diggin this band. .just heard of them.

[@birko985]

This song is absolutely brilliant and as far as I'm concerned it deserves to be very famous.

[@Aedoneus2]

What If? is very powerful. I have had events manifest into existence from just asking the question, What If? inside my head on several different occasions.

[@westernsunrise4675]

What if the World just United... Fast forward to the year 2020 and the World has never been so divided... The candle is burning at both ends.

[@DJO_Kosick]

God damn, I wish these boys would do another album... :( I can chart an entire chapter of my life to Cog's music, I miss what they do so much! Nothing compares!

[@iloveelon1046]

Aussies RULE I am going to share this for forever until you guys get the recognition you deserve ! You have been trying to warn the world for nearly a decade 💜🙏🏻🌈

[@rfalconator7896]

Absolutely amazing song.

[@chrisevans4070]

See you guys on the 5th at torquay by the grace of GOD.

[@monogramadikt]

timeless music

[@greenrust2194]

Kings. This film clip doesn't feel Australian, which is a good thing. It's a shame that these guys don't get the recognition they deserve.

[@ozrob76]

Iirc it was filmed in Weed, Washington- the place they recorded the album in, with Tool's producer, that's prolly why. Awesome song.

[@greenrust2194]

@@ozrob76 Sylvia Massey, that's it! Great band! Good to see them touring again

[@pillarofdavidson]

[@davidhunt1350]

can't help but feel the essence of Cat Stevens, in Flynns voice every so often

[@dylanleason5724]

To be honest here, I personally get kind of tired seeing people comment on videos and put down entire genres of music, simply because it is such and such band. Just let people like what they like, and save the rest for yourself!

[@Roxy4217]

I sawe them at the Enmore Theatre a couple of years ago awsome, I also so bobo from fat pizza that night. Great Night out at New Town!

african migrants r cool yes?

[@liamguinane]

Oh sweet, well... I guess I now mean I wish they had a video of them playing The River Song live. :D

[@PhilthyClyro]

@xonktrof1 apparently so mate. The drummer Lucius has joined up with Jon Stockman of Karnivool to do something in a band called FloatingMe. The Vool are in the studio any time soon so I don't know how serious the project is. But right there are two very good musicians so I don't think it's just for a jamming session !

[@Arcnaught]

This song is special

@Rosehawka of course it wouldnt help matters but it is not the sole cause of the temperature rising, sun spot activity has been immense the last decade this is a much more plausable idea than c02 being the main culprit.

which album is this song from and where can I buy a copy?

www.cog.com.au/buy-music

[@theapplekingdom5493]

If you somehow haven't already read their comment, it's from Cog's 'Sharing Space' album. Which you should buy. Legally. Support actual bands.

[@liamguinane]

I reckon The River Song and The Spine. Musically and lyrically very good songs. Too bad they don't play The River Song live.

[@beyondhairy]

was there ever a reason why? and do you know about Floating Me?

[@Rosehawka]

@azmanabdula ha, no its fine, i'm just bored and lonely. My practical side, and what i've studied in history generally suggests that it would be very hard to establish, and maintain, a society based on total anarchy (i.e. no laws, no leader) just complete honesty and common sense. But underneath it all i'm still part anarchist and would love to live in a just and sensible world.

3:25. What bridge is that?

[@rob4395]

Looks like Tower Bridge in Sacramento

[@r4p1st]

nice maton, the playing on the mountainside without mics/amps makes it look instantly dated though. clip doesn't really do the song justice.
