Failure - "Macaque," from the film "We are Hallucinations," Official Video

[@weenibeenies]

the last 40 seconds are insane, such an underrated band.

[@anotherspaceboy]

Best thing about seeing songs off the first two albums live is getting to see how Kellii Scott plays them. Obviously we all love the original recordings, but hearing him crush on live tracks like this almost makes them into different songs. I would love to get complete releases of the first two albums recorded live with him.

[@BigDLiquor]

I've noticed that! Songs like Stuck on You I remember hearing like guitar plucks before the first note is actually played and how they end Heliotropic is so sick with the pauses they decided to add on the riff.

[@JackPeloquin]

Well... he didnt play on Comfort. And not all of Magnified either.

[@anotherspaceboy]

@@JackPeloquin Yeah, I don't think Scott played on either album. I'd just love if they did a live recording, live in the studio even, of both albums with him. Also "Golden" and "Dipped In Anger," from the pre-Scott era.

[@dryremark17]

@@anotherspaceboywould be sick I agree - would also be cool if they got Robert Gauss to do a guest appearance and play some songs from the comfort era live if he’s still out there somewhere..

[@turbomustang84]

Comfort is their most overlooked album and it is solid all the way through

[@Kyoko_02]

100% the way the drums & guitars shine on that album, can't find it anywhere else tbh

[@bleeone]

The sound is PROPER and indicative of the Failure live experience. Thanks dudes for the early Xmas gift… best $20 spent this month so far.

[@johnsonpgd9164]

Saw Failure 30 years ago when they opened for Tool. Been a fan ever since. And they just keep getting better with time. Was at the Baltimore show. It was absolutely the most perfect concert experience ever. Hope they release this on KZbin. I only got to watch it 3 times. Can’t wait for the doc.

[@PalmTreesInMoscow]

I was at the bmore show too. Outstanding. Do you know if any of that footage was included on We Are Hallucinations?

[@dryremark17]

Dude I was there too! Was the best concert I’ve ever been to. My favorite band ever since I first discovered them a year and a half ago.

[@The_Last_Pants_Youll_Ever_Wear]

Yeah, Failure won me over when they opened for Tool in Detroit. Their opening number was Let It Drip, and it was perfect. I was hooked!

[@reznorettee]

there's a philosopher I once met he showed me many things he told me things of the world his face was unusual- but it could tell a story-- with rich detail...in rich detail sometimes eating sometimes eyes closed there was always the face of his knowledge of things he never spoke-- he needed not to he needed not to he sits in a zoo in North America has no other in his habitat he's originally from west Africa West Africa West Africa West Africa

[@mikereseigh]

Wonderful. Saw this tour. Met the guys. They are as nice as the band is awesome.

[@incognito3862]

This band can do no wrong. \m/

[@jmiddlefinger]

I was at the Chicago show a year and two months ago and I’m still not over it. Opening with Macaque was legendary

[@lanafonseca5565]

That drumming 🥰

[@vonapathy]

Nice! This sounds amazing! I made the mistake of standing in front of the speaker during the concert, so I'm stoked to hear this how it was actually intended! 😎

[@bentaylor8589]

Please release this as a live album

[@llamaman71]

Truly excellent. I will never tire of this song.

[@colonelspicymustard]

i think i’ve been a failure fan for long enough to feel confident saying this is my favorite song by them

[@StriderTom29]

‘We Are Hallucinations’ would be a classic on blu-ray/DVD. Amazing work.

[@Shadowcorporation]

One of the best live bands I've ever seen Live. Period. And it was super cool meeting you guys in SF. Rock on brothers \m/

[@mikereseigh]

Same. Met them I'm Pontiac MI on this tour

[@hammalammadingdong6244]

These guys rocked hard on that last tour. Sounded amazing, and as always, great songs. I was a little dismayed at the lack of hardware on stage, but the sound was excellent! Who needs the headache of giant stacks of amps??

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Amazing band. Better live, markings of a great band.

[@AGBAT]

The song that got me into you! And....Not gonna lie, watching that film not only made me regret not finding a way there but also got choked up in a couple spots. Beautifully done! 😍

[@CullyBenson]

Still one of my favorite bands for nearly 30 years. Seen them 5 times and they always sound fantastic. 💜 Ken, Greg and Kellii

[@FutureHonest]

so glad i was able to pick this up on vinyl

[@colonelspicymustard]

please come back on tour boys!

[@stock3jacob]

In the span of about a year....excellent album.....badass live show (St. Paul).....repressed/reissued vinyls.....and a great concert film. Good year for Failure fans. Looking forward to the documentary....and I'm hoping that this concert film will be released for future viewing.

[@thesean3194]

I see the word Macaque and I click. In the hopes to see this exact video.

[@kris5645]

The chord changes, the build ups, such an awesome song!

[@drlaackenstein]

When I heard them play this song thirty years ago, I knew I was in love.

[@franciscocolin2008]

Hayley Williams referenced this band in Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Show

[@darthuncle]

I saw them on this tour. They were awesome!

[@W0LF2612]

the ending is so intense - love it!

[@GothRocker7]

Failure please play "Macaque" every show, what a powerful song and performance, that ending WOW. Amazing the sound this three piece band creates. This sounds great!!!!!!! This livestream was the best 20 dollars I spent in 2022. Failure, Please put this out on Blu Ray and CD.

[@andreshead25]

havent heard of this banger yet. OH MY

[@thesean3194]

Their first album titled Comfort. Get it.

[@andreshead25]

@@thesean3194 no i don’t 😭

[@jasonallwood9444]

Very underrated band.

Absolutely beast of a band. I had the fortune of seeing Failure at the Show "Chow" Box Seattle Washington.

[@JHH1979]

So good! I was at the Toronto show but the venue has the worst possible sight lines so I feel like I'm seeing them perform Macaque for the first time lol. I missed the livestream so I really hope the concert film is released for download yet!

[@jere_Nico]

[@SapitoAnimation]

I was introduced to failure by my older brother back in 2013, and I'm really glad, every song is so masterfully produced and crafted, love you guys!!!

[@AlessandroCosenza-p3e]

how do these guys all still have hair? thats gotta be hair pieces or they all went to Turkey to get transplants. maybe not Kelli his looks sorta natural, but for a 35 year old.

[@Aiur]

🤘😢

[@billy2896]

Fuck, I forgot to buy the livestream.

[@guitaristssuck8979]

Macaques live in North Africa, like Morocco (ok, North West)

[@skxlter5747]

This is what 90s grunge sounds like

[@chriswiggins1679]

Grunge is a scene from Seattle. This is alternative. It may have been and probably was inspired by the big grunge bands. Failure later became Space Rock, a type of alternative along peers like Hum and Porcupine Tree.

[@perchancetodream1]

Fantastic show back in June @ Saturn!

[@yebocal]

Simply amazing, I am so upset I didn't get to see the film, what an amazing production!

[@andrewlynch1754]

Its like...American Pie, Road Trip, Weezer, Wheatus, Hum, Grunge, Angst, Melancholy, Nostalgia, Stoned, Surf, Summer, Sunset, Sex, Shoegaze, Space, Future. Failure... ...African...

[@Schlomovision]

I don't care what Ken plays, but where is Greg's Wal bass?

[@Jonathan-bd4vx]

The fretless that he added frets to in the 90s?? Story is he sold it years ago, way before they got back together 😢

[@Schlomovision]

@@Jonathan-bd4vx That's sad man. There was a show that my friend and I were under age for but they were playing at, and they got us in and that's the first time I saw the fretless Wal bass. To imitate him I got a fretless pedulla bass. I still play it to this day. I believe it was at the coach house in San Juan Capistrano

[@Jonathan-bd4vx]

@@Schlomovision That's awesome man! What era was that? Pre Kellii? Must of been the early years.

[@Schlomovision]

@@Jonathan-bd4vx I want to say 91 or 92 and it was pre Kelly. I could be off by a year

[@nicolas.grisanti]

Greg is the reason why Justin Chancellor got a Wal

[@albertrosenflower3011]

i think the lyrics are weird. speaking of a "habitat" and someone from "west africa". i don't get it. but awesome guitar-conclusion at the end.

[@mattfarmermedia4234]

This is about the macaque monkey that ken and greg saw at the orange county zoo one day. You can see it on the failure documentary.

[@casanova9430]

It’s literally about a Macaque monkey Ken saw in a zoo lmao, "he sits in a zoo", "has no other in his habitat", "his face was unusual", "he’s originally… from west… Africa"

[@albertrosenflower3011]

@@casanova9430 ok thanks

[@guitaristssuck8979]

I'm waiting for some snowflake in denial to bring up racism

[@billy2896]

It's about a monkey that Ken saw at a zoo in LA. A macaque, specifically. I think the lyrics can be interpreted to mean a few different things.

[@gavin4981]

Too cheese
