Health is one of the bands that makes you feel cool just listening to them

[@NerdFap]

Which why they are so perfect for stuff like Max Payne 3!!! They are a MOOOOOOD, but right when you think they aren’t doing a lot lyrically they’ll drop a line on me and I’m like “oooooo that was hard”

[@mattdestroyer77]

No.

[@westsidesun91]

@@mattdestroyer77 Yes.

[@hypervanse]

cool? I guess I didn't got most of lyrics are about mental health, abuse and self harm. But it's indeed cathartic to hear from those themes, so one at least there are others kind of in the outskirts of beautiful life conformity zone.

[@westsidesun91]

@@hypervansehealth’s lyrics are extremely varied but all have dark themes. they talk about dystopias, drug abuse, war, toxic relationships and more. but there’s so many lyrical themes they cover that it’s quite difficult to keep track of.

[@wallrunningengel]

This man has a voice. Holy fuck

[@phillipstracner7909]

Thats what I'm saying. I just discovered this band. I thought it was a hot woman. I still like it though. It's badass.

[@syrthaofficial]

HEALTH truly became masters of their genre. This set so tight and flawless. The clarity of sound is such high level, that every noise and nerve intended comes through like butter. Every alteration is carefully and emotionally noticed. It really is amazing to see them grow so much into their potential. And what a powerful message behind those meticulously placed words, coming out of an almost child-like voice, a hurricane really, that can split atoms.

[@Solemn926]

Invented a genre between genres, then mastered it.

[@44gg37]

correct me if i’m wrong but I believe that 80 percent of this “live” sound is just playback

[@westsidesun91]

@@44gg37it isn’t. i can speak from experience from seeing them live, in fact, seeing them in person showed me that their music uses a lot more actual instruments than you’d think. it’s only for tracks like salvia, die slow etc where it’s a lot of playback. but they also utilise a lot of improv which can be heard in this video, especially jake.

[@zwanenvallei]

I’ve been enjoying their music ever since Max Payne. Great stuff

[@garethniles6152]

Right!? I never played that game but I had to find out that song from the commercials

[@Psynalizer]

Same here, the Max Payne soundtrack was amazing, such a unique sound they brought, and they still have and bring. Great band!

[@KawaiiKittyKat79]

Same here Marc. Max Payne was my introduction into HEALTH, and I have been a fan ever since.

[@daniellerogers1352]

His voice makes me melt.

[@sondr3m996]

Wow. Is this the most underrated vocalist in music?

[@CryingHyenaWuzHere]

Hands down the most obscure but greatest band I've started listening to. Disco 4 is the best new album I've heard in a while.

[@SuperDenno]

I’ve played Max Payne, loved the score, but I had no idea Health was a genuine band until last week!!! They are all I listen to now!!! The music creeps under my skin. Been a fan of NIN and Skinny Puppy for decades now, but this... this something else. Hauntingly beautiful!!!

[@hassansuboh1891]

Did not expect to only see a guitar, bass, and drums making these sounds

[@jyoutube1233]

They use tracks for all the electronic stuff

[@sleepyburr]

@@jyoutube1233 Well, yes and no. I'm sure a certain amount of this is tracked, but everything you see here is being run through a fuckton of effects, including the drum mics. You can tell they aren't playing *everything*, but it's totally possible to get most of this out of what they're playing so long as you have the right setup.

[@yasmynbonifacio]

Hail! HEALTH 🔥⚘

[@sansa5991]

This just fucking awesome. Now, HEALTH official is best group that i have ever seen.

[@chancee4248]

They are great live. I stumbled upon them in Austin in 2008 or 09. They pulled me in like sirens. I've been in a cursed loved ever since.💙

[@eggjoe122]

I have been a fan for 12 years and finally got the chance to see them live this year. Thank you for sharing this. 🤘🤖🤘

[@acrosancti8684]

Saw them that year too... Omg it was 🔥🔥🔥👏🙌

[@hshiram]

Been listening to health for over a year now through spotify mostly when I'm gaming. All this time I thought it was a woman singing. I'm pleasantly SURPRISED! His voice is beautiful. It gives me Placebo vibes 😭💯🥰🥳

[@dkso134]

I was going to comment on this now I've been listening to the band since cyberpunk 2077 and I was like what do you mean the singer is not a woman lol 😭😭

[@hshiram]

@@dkso134 Hold on, they soundtrack for Cyberpunk 2077?

[@dkso134]

@@hshiram yes they are one of several artists that have songs in the game, the songs appear in the anime too

See I knew it was a dude BUUUUT thought the vocals were the tall guy with the long hair 😂 this is how you know the musics good, it just IS 🔥🔥🔥

[@ryangalvatron4451]

​@@hshiramI know they did Max Payne 3

[@casperch]

Saw them live at Roskilde festival 2010 when they were primarily a noise band. Absolutely loved their first two albums when I was younger and angrier. As I've grown older, so has this band, and their sound has evolved in a way to shift from anger and organized chaos to pure drug-induced melancholy disco. It's an amazing band and I can't wait to see them in Copenhagen later this year.

[@dynatwenty]

In love since i saw them open up for the almighty Sleep Token. Best show i´ve ever been to! Health is just the sound i was lookin for!

[@nathanielhaven3453]

I’d commit major crimes in the rain to see health and sleep token together

[@benetelrae]

I'm liking what's going on here.

[@susannaharnhart4910]

I really appreciate how the music smacks me so hard but the vocalist is so gentle!

[@sherrilufflee]

The clarity these guys have achieved is amazing as they've developed through the years. The sound has always been amazing but the presentation has been so impressive in the past few years.

[@44gg37]

I’m not sure but It sounds like 80 percent of it is the backing track

[@thomasglas3613]

What a relentless performance. It only clocks in at 12 minutes but it feels like a lifetime has me passed by.

[@HUNKSComedy]

HEALTH rules. Saw them in St. Paul last month and it ripped.

[@mischifer1]

Ahhh I wish I went to that! I went to Alice In Chains that night instead because i didn't totally appreciate HEALTH enough at the time. AIC was incredible don't get me wrong but I definitely wish I could've experienced them now lmao

[@Solemn926]

Saw AIC a few years ago with Guns n Roses at FedEx Field. Great show. Sucks everyone's getting old though lol

[@briandevin1349]

Just caught these guys at the weekend at a festival, and very impressed.

[@chancee4248]

I saw them live in 2008 or 09 in Austin and it was mind melting.💙

[@grandwizaad3559]

I`ve always thought that the lead singer of Health was a Woman. Blew my mind finding out it is a man.

You had me with the Psychic TV shirt.

Great band

[@alexlight4178]

i remember that drummer and that bassist hitting drums really loud for a really long time and not being able to hear anything for loudness in a kind of one-room-box-building packed with people like sardines '06 or so

Soo grateful for this 🙏💕

Feel like 90% of their performance come from pre recorded stuff. 10% actual live performance. Prove me wrong

[@na-dj6ob]

So youre saying the live vocals, guitar, bass and drums only add up to 10%? Okay man...

[@danmad011]

@@na-dj6ob don’t feel like answering to someone who definitely is not a musician and has no clue about live performances. But just to prove my point there’s a riff sounding here 9:20 which is 90% of the moment’s performance which is not being play by none of them live.

[@na-dj6ob]

@@danmad011 Clearly there are backing tracks during this performance, which is absolutely not unique to this band alone. They have had many different variations for live performances over the years. This is their bare bones lineup without the second guitar player, live synths etc. A quick google search would have answered your question, but you would rather make an ill-informed, pretentious comment on this youtube post before bothering to look up the band. Obviously youre clearly the master musician, who knows who I am and what I do. Please keep on gracing everyone with your ever so vast knowledge lmao. Next time, do some simple research before making yourself come off as a know it all prick, with the troll comments. Good luck with all that. I'm done here.
