Lightning Bolt - Colossus

[@StringierHail56]

Colossus and Dead Cowboy are the Bohemian Rhapsody of Lightning Bolt

[@skumdjungeltangoi7172]

Hard agree

[@dialect64]

add also "Snow White and the 7 Dwarves fans"!

[@dialect64]

or basically the last track on any of their albums, always an epic. Transmissionary for example!🤗😄

[@PineappleStickers]

This has by far become my favourite lightningbolt song. That intro is so atmospheric

[@beatthis80]

Agree.. The intro gives me goosebumps..

[@jdixon390]

It's better than the original

[@brianmcclelland7682]

In their documentary The Power of Salad and Milkshakes (I think its called) their fans/friends/family talked about how bad they smelled. The drummers mom makes him strip off his clothes and throw them in the washer, and makes him shower when he comes over. 😂

[@alexp4681]

if i was at this show i would have started flying during this song

Everything about them is just perfect, this couldn't work any other way. I bet they are the nicest people ever. Fuck yeah

I only got to see 15 minutes of them at day for night. It was the best 15 minutes I ever got to see of them. I want to see them 80 more times.

[@westcoastdgtluv]

Holy fucking shit this was amazing

[@Bluuu3]

Most drummers, if they think the rest of the band started the song too slow or too fast, will try to ease into the tempo the song should be at. But Chippendale here is just like "nah fuck you Brian have fun with your fingers lol"

Matteo Mirri *DigiTech Bass Whammy pedal * BOSS OC-2 Octave pedal * BOSS ODB-3 Bass Overdrive pedal * BOSS SD-1 Overdrive pedal * Line 6 DL-4 Delay modeler

[@JacobPadlock]

+Matteo Mirri Most of his tone comes from his amps though. The sound of the speakers being driven to hell combined with the octave pedal are like his signature bass tone.

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

I'm 2 and a half minutes in and I'm wondering when this jam session is gonna turn in to a fucking song. Fast forward to minute 5. Still waiting. Oh wait, something happened at 2:30. They changed it up a little, good job guys. Jam bands are fun.

[@cn1506]

Their tracks are long and repetitive but they certainly aren't jamming. I knew every note of this song and even the drums are performed almost note for note for this type of music. I mean, jam band isn't an insult in my opinion, especially for a band like LB, their shows are so eclectic and have such a positive energy that jam band is probably a good way to think about it but they are definitely performing a perfectly structured show every night. Next level shit. Listen to "Dracula Mountain" if you want the closest to a pop hit these guys will manage. It's a heater for sure. I've been all around all types of music, but mostly heavy music, and the two wildest and most fun shows I've seen were both lightning bolt. also if you really think this whole song sounds the same, you're really listening to the wrong music or something. This song has quite a few distinctive parts.

[@realnagger6718]

They used to say the same about Jazz. It's not about Intro-verse-chorus-bridge-etc or chord progression, its about feeling, expression, art(?). You feel it or you dont. Pop music is much more accessible, try it, you'll love it!

[@ChadConnor]

[@122Music1]

Totally depressing , hopeless, disturbing, chaotic , black, horrifying, devoid of God, devoid of positivity, devoid of greatfullness. Am I wrong? Is that what they're going 4?

[@mynameiscian8D]

I think you are wrong, yes. I don't see how it's disturbing, hopeless, depressing, devoid of positivity, or horrifying, and I don't really understand why you're mentioning God or greatfullness at all? Most music doesn't really mention God or have anything to do with greatfullness, as far as I can tell. I agree the music is chaotic, but I'd also say that it's energetic, technically impressive, cathartic, and hypnotic. The only negativity I can see here is from you. People enjoy this music and that means that it has value. Just because you don't enjoy it doesn't mean it's devoid of positivity or artistry or anything else.
