Compressorhead - Compressorhead

[@AtleRamsli]

I'm a hobbyist robot programmer. My head hurts when I try to imagine all the work that went into this. Not to mention the fried circuits, busted servos, esoteric bugs, kinematic catastrophes, ... all of which makes it a million times more awesome than what you see. If I was ever to lie flat on the floor, screaming "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" at the feet of a band, this would be it.

[@amichiganboiwhosereallazy1544]

Atle Ramsli and that the I believe at least on of the lead guitarist has 78 entire fucking fingers. Which is probably copied to the second one

[@KodiakTeddy]

I’m 16 and just started perusing programming and mechanical/electrical engineering. This is my dream

[@hath072]

I recently started to study programming. If you look at it as a whole, then in general the creation of such a project is not so difficult. It uses algorithms in motion and sound transmission. The sound here is, in fact, in mp3 format. That is: there are certain data storage and transmission buses that facilitate movement and play. the whole difficulty is that the robots do not stray from the algorithm, and indeed write such code. Not long ago I saw the code of such robots live and in action, and I must say, it is not so difficult.

It's not enough that they are robots, they are actually playing the instruments!!!! I feel cheated that no one ever told me about Compressorhead. I'm a Mötorhead fan so I guess the KZbin matrix finally felt I was worthy. Long live Lemmy!

Shane Warren that’s cause most metal bands now just play doom/stoner bullshit. Some are actually good, but not like true metal, and well, robot’s ain’t taking none of that shit cause robots aren’t affected by drugs.

[@FuraFaolox]

@@reallyhightemplar4013 Where are you finding that most nowadays play doom because I am pretty sure that was more prominent in the 70s-90s. Nowadays, it's mostly metalcore and deathcore.

im like "👀" rn, but if i saw them jumping hysterically and smashing guitars and shit, id be hype af. im getting ahead of myself here but imagine instruments that humans wouldnt be able to play. the sight of robots performing is one thing, but to see something like flame shooting from the guitar or a colurful l.e.d see through drumset or for the lead robot singers mic to blow up and he reach in his chest mid song for a new one or something crazy? truly a sight to behold

[@Tastenplayer]

How can you thumbs down on something so innovative!? It's not my music either. However, what has been set up there is almost unbelievable! Because the band is not from China, Taiwan, Japan but from Germany! This band even got me to listen to this music :-)) No other band has done that yet! And they're getting better and better, not like so many other bands that are getting worse and worse. Only the bass player in the background seems a bit out of place in this video!!! Apparently not feeling very well, in the shadow of the very good singer :-) Although I don't like this music at all, I would even like to listen to this band live. I watch and listen to this video every week just like the video Ace of Spades

[@anonymousinc6330]

This is so freaking AWESOME! I wish that I could build robots and do something like this. I wanted to be a professional rock singer but respiratory problems have made me deathly sensitive to heat, irritants and allergens in ambient/open air. In layman's terms, I am allergic to air... Which, interestingly enough, was the unwittingly prophetic stage name I used when recording originals. If I could build a robot band and sing from backstage away from the pyrotechnics, etc, maybe I could chase my dream after all... I have to wonder if that's not how this band came to be... perhaps its creator can't actively participate for health reasons...

This band is so fukn cool.I cant get over it, & ironically I happen to be a musician who plays drums guitar bass & can sing both lead & harmony.Its just so cool that the guys who put this shit together make these robots actually play the music on instruments.I can tell you for these guys to make it work like that its ALOT harder than they make it look, which is again ironically what I would tell people after I got off stage from a performance, & my peers would tell me "you make it look easy" knowing full well its not. Total respect & love for compressorhead. 8- )
