Flashback Friday - Glassjaw - Siberian Kiss

This week's Flashback Friday is Glassjaw's Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence from 2000.
I can't really do justice to how inspiring this album was for me and Mark. So I'm going to leave all the writing to him, read all about it in his Testwood Blog:
testwood.wordp...
He can put it in a much more eloquent fashion than I ever could.
Until next week, Enjoy =)

I remember 2002-2003 era specifically for these five bands: Glassjaw Thursday Thrice The Used Poison the Well

[@FirstLast-yo5yf]

Damn.. you just brought me back years ago with the mention of all those bands. I'm 31 now but it's time to hop into that time machine and jam the fuck out! Cheers.

[@FunninGunnin1]

I would add Hopesfall to that glorious list.

[@jojodrumz]

creekandseminole imagine that line up on one bill💯🔥

[@vmiestershishcabob847]

Poison the well and glass jaw definately the OGs

[@silviomelesi]

I would add Hopesfall to the list, “the satellite years” is a masterpiece

[@larl-earson]

probably one of the most fun to play songs ever

[@PyokerZMUSIC]

true

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

I vividly remember being a teenager who had just discovered Drop D thrashing around in my room playing along to this album 😌

[@leftsideofhere2484]

First Dance Gavin Dance, then Lower Definition and now glassjaw. Can't hit like or subscribe hard enough..

[@tm031]

great! song very melodic. Great cover! Brazil fan, i love glassjaw

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Beck is the definition of a musical geniuse

[@moustacheanddrumsticks4381]

This is literally AMAZING! i love how youre high energy and still spot on with youre playing!"

[@CaliDBan]

Fuck man, pretty guitar. "IF I CANT HAVE YOU NO ONE WILL!!!!" I can't wait so to see them them EYWTKAS in full next year.....I've been waiting so long for it. 😁

[@LessOfMyselfToKill_187]

The band and album that put post hardcore on map! LINY REPRESENT! I've had the pleasure of of hanging out with Daryl and Beck at a studio I was doing session work for. Got to smoke many dutches and Daryl gave me a compliment that would stick with me forever! "One of the sickest drummers he's seen" which was a big deal to me being a fan since 95 it was awesome for them to come chill and watch me play then we went to a secret show after. Daryl came around a lot after that and I got to pick his brain a bit, he's a really chill dude that loves to smoke and is really passionate about what he does and supports local artists! Still waiting to meet Ross Robinson hopefully one day I'll be able to do some session work for him!

[@johnsmith3085]

I love that you give a little background on FF. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Mikerisms]

John Smith Thanks! Yeah, FF is all about albums/songs that really mean a lot to me and Mark, so the background is essential 😀

[@lucylulucifer]

This is amazing. I just started playing but I wanna be able to play this song one day

[@MidnightRage7]

OMG I've been waiting for this!! One of my favorite songs!

[@Mikerisms]

Lavender Moon Such an amazing song!

[@smgibv4393]

Enjoyed it very much. Thank you! Great. From The Netherlands.

[@brendankenna3343]

I’ve been listening to all your DGD covers and they’re fucking AMAZING, man! But here’s the cray thing, I’m about to turn 35 and just got into them. However... I’ve been into glassjaw since I was 15 and I new about them because of a CD that had this song and Pretty Lush. I would have never guessed you were into this!!! Modern post hardcore, metal, djent, etc. wouldn’t be anything without GJ. Thank, man! You’re awesome

[@coopsnz1]

Metal core or was that killswitchenage the creators of the genre

[@ragazzinomorto]

@@coopsnz1 you’re out of your mind. go do some research.

[@KidHellacious]

Love your energy. I’m jammin with ya. Would love to see your take on some of their newer material... like Material Control or Our Color Green. Wishlist: New White Extremity, Shira, Citizen, Golgatha... Or anything off Our Color Green. Just a wish list. Fun vids.

[@JemP85]

THAT WAS SICK!!!

[@VideInfra]

Such a great clean cover.

[@the_red_channel]

Well done, great cover for a tremendous song!

[@bluhballuh]

One of the best gj guitar covers ever, hope you do more.

[@lordfizzz]

Becks grooves are ridiculous this album blew my top off as a kid

[@jvsings9146]

Simply amazing, well done.

[@joshtsavo1023]

[@jasonerikbaron]

Well done!

[@SVU777]

excellent brother!!!!

[@MidnightRage7]

What about Majour by Glassjaw

[@TheConvectuoso]

Hey Mike, new fan here, your musical taste takes me back to my teens - so many nostalgia feels. Was wondering if you could do a video on your studio setup ? Your tones are always on point and it'd be cool to see what you're running :)

[@clovellykev]

loved the enthusiasm!

[@chrismcdaniel475]

Awesomeness

[@prodesertwarrior]

Very nice!

[@brunobpl]

nicely done!

[@usdms13]

Bravo! Freaking awesome cover. Gj 4 lyfe

[@killemall69]

I’d like it again if I could.

[@jesusm7]

Purely amazing man! Will you be doing a tutorial on this song at some point?

[@Mikerisms]

Jesus Thanks man! Possibly, not sure how much it warrants one but I'll add it to my list dude 😀

[@jacobshort621]

Do it do it

That guitar tone is hot.

[@alessiobellinazzi3106]

Wow

[@idiotboxing]

@Mikerisms maybe its time for a new one, because it is the 20th anniversary of the album :D

[@AllanHathaway]

amazing cover! I liked the video before even watching it because, you know, Glassjaw lol Think we'll ever get a PM Today cover/tutorial in the works?

[@Mikerisms]

Allan Tober Thanks man! There's one PMtoday song I've made a start on, so I'll get it done soon hopefully 😀

[@TheSickleton]

please be Sad World . such a fun song!

[@JuanPabloVasquez]

more GJ please!

[@killemall69]

Glassjaw was the hardest

[@brokencortes7320]

Damn. Bro you went hard in the paint...now can we get guitar NO.2?

[@ttngeo7494]

Aye mike...fuck yeah man!

[@ttngeo7494]

So many memories go along with this album. I'm sure u have some too

[@Mikerisms]

Jiovani Gonzalez Definitely, this was a big part of shaping my feeling on putting yourself into music, great memories plus I still listen to it often!

[@brokencortes7320]

Where did you find the guitar tabs for this song?

[@Lucas-jn3hp]

Me thinks Beck would approve

[@CEley]

Do one on EMERGE RESTLESS

[@BliboranBass]

Dude you should do one from the new album! Or the whole thing tbh

[@therocinante3443]

You must have shit tons of money, i used to be a guitar salesman and there isn't a sub $3,000 guitar on your wall. Must be nice! You picked a damn good song for this video though, and played it very well. I respect a man who does what you do. Bravo.

[@Mikerisms]

Sean Bailin Thanks a lot dude! Although there's actually only one guitar on the wall that was over £3,000 and that's the Jem over my left shoulder. Ther others are all less than £1,000. Some sub £500. Two even sub £200! I love them all though 😀

[@ElderYouth]

what is the tuning of this song?

[@TheSPazCORE]

drop d

[@richardgoodson8371]

What guitar tuning is this ?

[@dmnchannel383]

Tuning?

[@brokencortes7320]

Not bad...not bad at all...

[@MarceloArayaGonzalez]

[@brokencortes7320]

We have known guitar 1. Can you tab guitar 2.??

[@elladreames6958]

[@makotoisthebestprotag1870]

Worship and Tribute is better.

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

You're fuckin up

[@ThePilate30]

Yeah no... But music is all relative

[@coopsnz1]

That album more punk , this album more metalcore

[@endserenading333]

I'd love the shit out of that album if it wasn't for the lyrics :(

[@MidnightRage7]

what's wrong with the lyrics?

[@endserenading333]

They're full on misogynist. Like, I get he could have been bitter because he got dumped, but damn.

[@daytonanderson3687]

"Collectivizing property is okay but mean words are bad"

[@beneaththesound]

ehhh, this was quintessential emo. I don't think he hates women. He was just done wrong is all, but what specific song were you referring to?

[@diomiherrington]

Better mean words and name calling than actual violence. There are plenty of songs from other bands with lyrics which could be considered “mysoginist” but there are plenty out there that could be considered “misandrist” from both women and men. Stop reading Buzzfeed, Huffington Post and all the other Leftist/Neo Marxist SJW outlets conditioning you to be offended by everything. If Palumbo’s lyrics hurt your feelings, just wait until you step outside your door and encounter strangers in the real world. Sometimes there’s even more than just feelings getting hurt out there.
