Nothing More Cover Skrillex's "First of the Year (Equinox)" - 2017 Loudwire Music Awards

[@aghamom]

I have no idea what I just watched, but I want more!

[@wbrandt47]

Watched them do this live last night when they opened for Three Days Grace, blew me away. One of the most creative things I've seen live. The three person bass solo was pretty impressive as well

[@ShrubPlays]

I've actually been wanting to turn this into a Metal song. I quite like this and the original (I'm not close minded unlike a lot of the people in these comments.)

[@bobbilowery2975]

Shrub Plays: finally!! Someone in the comments who is open minded about music!! I thought this was great and very entertaining! I'm definitely catching the "Nothing More" bug! I find them intriguing!!

[@crypticutopia7228]

I also think this is great

[@B1GDINO]

this is why computers are better than people

[@ShrubPlays]

@@B1GDINO I don't know about all that. lol

[@marcofantoni2135]

0:41 guy screams: "no way!"

[@bobbilowery2975]

Nice catch!

[@Trauvok]

For non Nothing More fans, it might be kinda hard to comprehend what is going on, but what this singer is playing, is called "The Scorpion Tail" made by the bass guitarist, Daniel, who has made the drum set underneath the "Scorpion Tail" also this is not how they sound live, trust me, I've seen them live with this thing, it sounds much better, I don't know why it sounds so bad on loudwire.

[@manhart87]

I just saw this act at Copenhell festival, Denmark, and it was amazing. Didn't know Nothing More before, and I was blown away by the act. And you're right, the sound was way better live. More agressive and epic. It worked really well. More memorable than most other bands at that festival !

[@doriankeene664]

Modern tech just can’t capture the awesomeness of this band that’s why it doesn’t sound good in the video

[@adrianmoores4416]

Saw them do this song at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, can attest, it sounds better than this live.

[@ClanDarkassasins]

Just seen them at Riverbend Music Center Cincinnati, OH. It did sound much better then this one. It was hardcore.

[@SIV959]

Saw them in Vienna last weekend! Holy shit one hell of a show and it sounded live much better!

[@rialovessushii]

I saw this live two days ago and it blew my mind They sound so much better live!!! ♡

[@trashdemon570]

Saw these guys when they opened for Breaking Benjamin and FFDP, and they did this song. Unpopular opinion: I need more dubstep metal in my life because this was the one of the coolest parts of the show.

[@cameronmcleod215]

This is what that korn album wanted to be

[@YungGxth]

"That korn album" perfect name for it

[@Lancedirk1]

these guys get it

[@ctxx24]

Essentially. Get Up was a pretty good song. But the rest sucked ass lol

[@travisdeyoung5329]

Well since this is a Skrillex cover I would say Korn accomplished exactly what you say they didn't considering that Skrillex was the person who made at least three songs for said Korn album, including the hit "Get Up!".

[@Ikiya69]

How to be a Trv metalhead for Dummies: 1. Hates something new 2. Old skool metal is the best #trvmetal 3. Other genre is always shit

[@theblacksunempress]

just saw them live yesterday and didn't know about this. so they played it and everyone freaked out. so good and so unexpected! I'm truly in love with this band

[@hotheddfever4783]

I mean I like both dubstep and metal (but I mainly stick to metal and come on, nobody can really stick to ONE genre, be it apart of metal and rock or something that is opposite) but I don't understand why people are so angry at this. I like the giant machine this dude is on and though it isn't the best cover, I still appreciate the creativity of this and I think it's pretty cool of them to experiment with this type of stuff. So kudos to them. The rest of y'all just sound grumpy.

[@IbanezDanny]

Saw them do this live in London two days ago completely unaware that they did this, my god it was AMAZING! Trust me in person it's so damn good, vibes through the roof! Such an amazing band

[@AroundTowniCome]

This is amazing!

[@1123120]

The bop it machine is back 😂

[@austinmoser5056]

Wtf is wrong with all the hate in the comments? This is awesome! even if its not "metal", I fucking hate metal heads that think everything else is shit besides for metal... also in case u dont know that thing he is standing on and the levers hes pulling alters all of the bands sound in real time which is extremely unique and would take hella tons of coordination and planning to work out properly

[@rattlehead890]

I'll tell you wtf is wrong, most METAL fans don't buy tickets to a metal show/concert to go there and have to listen to this shit. You want to listen to this then turn on the radio like all the other morons.

[@austinmoser5056]

rattlehead890 first off I wouldn't even classify nothing more as "metal" in the first place, they are very heavy but have always had electronic elements in their music and this "scorpian tail" that they built themselves is sick and if your to closed minded to realize that then oh well, dont go to a nothing more concert I guess... also its unique and hella fun to watch live, it doesn't to have to be "metal", metal bands and listeners can appreciate and play other music also

[@rattlehead890]

Oh dear........ If I went to a mixed music festival I would agree. If I went to a rock/metal festival and had to listen to this shit I'd be throwing bottles.

[@austinmoser5056]

rattlehead890 I respect that, but just making sure u know that this is only a very small portion of there set... 95% of it is heavy rock and metal music, this isn't all they do

[@Shadybiglpac]

Open your minds people this is the problem with america

[@jazzmaster909]

ohh man the Trv Kult are gonna have an aneurysm. Im not into Dubstep, but Im glad there are Metal Bands who atleast respect other genres.

[@austinmoser5056]

jazzmaster909 exactly thank u

[@bobbys6203]

Seems like most of the so called metal fans are butthurt with Nothing Mores MMA of genre mix. This band is amazing. I have tickets to see machine head then nothing more next year. I'm okay with a variety unlike these fake metal heads.

[@austinmoser5056]

Bob S finally somebody understands, mixing genres is fine, if u dont like it then dont listen to it but u dont have to hate on then for doing it

[@scarycheese6296]

These are the real rock fans right here, not all those other people that don't understand creativity

[@habit5k]

jazzmaster909 this band is really good live they are from San Antonio our home they are pretty bad ass live I️ don’t know why i seem to see other ppls comments hating

[@generalred6260]

This sounds batshit insane and i'm all for it, need more of this

[@bobbys6203]

Why are there so many haters? You should probably go learn their music before you judge. One of the best bands around around .amazing live and amazing people

[@derekofalltrades5494]

I'll never forget when I saw them live in 2007 at a small venue in Lafayette, LA. They did the pots and pans suits and stuff for a drum solo. Now they've completely evolved

[@WeirdGirl321]

This was amazing to see!

[@Ucada]

Kudos for them to even attempt to play this song live.

[@Mïnd_8endîng]

Why does this make me get goose bumps every time the ‘ai-ay-yi-ai’ starts up?!:/ This is so my new cyber jam machine. Most Wicked stuff seen in ages guys:)

[@frankunodostres473]

guys, if you don't like this song atleast appreciate the creativity. this is a legit band and are covering a skrillex song ffs! blows my mind!

[@austinmoser5056]

frank unodostres ikr people are so fucking closed minded, pisses me off

[@frankunodostres473]

you're alone with this opinion. this is better by default

[@ripplewine6112]

Are you kidding me? You need some Sabbath in your life son

[@ripplewine6112]

100% agree

[@andrewaiken3617]

Apparently a lot of people are watching this despite not actually being fans of Nothing More, just to shit on it because they saw "Skrillex" in the title of the video. I hate dubstep, and I even hate this song, but I keep watching videos of them covering the song simply because I'm so amazed at the Scorpion Tail in action. But all the fucking elitist haters ignore the ingenious contraption just so they can comment "lol the fuck is this? What kind of metal show is this, fucking posers" (even though it's a ROCK and metal show).

[@adriannaskutt5602]

I saw this live and its actually amazing

[@TheGrassanaytor]

FANTASTIC

[@Laszlo75]

He's getting his workout from the performance, well it works, man is fit

[@rebecca1294]

I so hope you guys do this when I see you Saturday!

[@Legojake94]

it's better live

[@justinbudach5008]

Why all the hate I thought that was really cool

[@Space_Chief]

You're not everyone??

[@nicolinasurel]

Justin Budach just ignore the trolls and enjoy the video 😊

[@austinmoser5056]

Justin Budach because people are fucking closed minded idiots... the problem with today's metal scene is exactly what your seeing here in the comments... metal heads think that anything besides for metal sucks

[@theacrid9062]

Holy shit I wasnt prepared for this😮

[@MrTheshoker15]

This is brilliant!!!

[@sean_mccadden]

Literally just saw them do this live an hour ago and it was fucking great. All those judging them by this alone I completely understand but you should learn more about them and actually check out their music because this doesn’t represent their sound at all. They just like to do really outlandish things in their set to make it stand out. But their actual sound uses a lot of intricate drumming and guitar work and a prog style of writing

[@bryankingsley4752]

sean maehl I agree. This is nothing like their music, but not in a bad way.

[@sean_mccadden]

Dixon Cider yeah theyre just messing around. Having fun

[@Arrowed_Sparrow]

Good god damn, they just let it all out on stage don't they. And for the lead to control the distortions of someone else's instrument is fucking impressive. Everyone needs to stay on point for it to not sound like shit.

[@ieatass5101]

Fuck!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[@prototype102010]

I love it. Not into dubstep personally but the creativity of Nothing more is insane. I love that they built the Scorpion Tail because they could.I almost saw them here in Calgary but sadly the night before we got a ton of snow and they cancled :/

[@Ash-op2ql]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. This guy is a fucking banshee

[@SamFerndz]

It looks cool

[@legobiulder67]

Went to see them live and had no clue who they were. Their first few songs were pretty slow then half way through the show the singer just started going A-wall and when he hopped on the drum set i thought he was gonna start breaking shit. But when he flipped the damn thing over and they started playing this i was so confused but it was fucking amazing. If you get the chance to see them live this song is so much better. I hate dubstep but they managed to make an old ass skrillex song sound fucking amazing

[@MetalDNA]

This is how dubstep is ment to be played

[@annsom.officiel]

Excellent !!! c'est une tuerie !!!!

[@miamorecadenza3021]

So much better live

[@m0rr0w1]

Wild!

[@sunmoon3147]

this is actually pretty good for covering dubstep... Wow...It's pretty fucking sick.😏

[@cybersamurai4069]

I saw this live and it was freaking epic

[@benjaminwestholm5975]

Call me stupid but does that machine actulally control the sound or the levers Jonny Hawkins pushes just for show?

[@sean_mccadden]

Benjamin Westholm From what I can tell they actually do, it appears that the one on his right pitches down and the one on the left pitches left and I believe it’s pitching the notes Mark is playing on his guitar. If that’s how it actually works that is a really incredible and intricate set up and performance!

[@legobiulder67]

Im honestly wondering the same thing cuz there seems to be a delay between him moving the controls and the pitch shifting. I did see them live but i was too busy moshing to even see after he flipped the thing on its side.

[@Jacob-ls2fv]

I dont know why but that machine scares the fuck out of me

[@Ndcontreras]

I was watching it live and didn't even know what the song was even supposed to be....they gotta work on this...

[@geminisolace153]

NeffXamaya it's a short cover Original song done by Dubstep artist skrillex

[@codydrummer]

What the hell is that thing the singer is playing?

[@theweirdkid2]

Cody W his own creation. They use it at all their shows it's awesome

[@brandongroves1937]

Cody W that is called the scorpion tail and that is the first instrument jacobby started playing a while ago

[@Mandiuxvargas]

The scorpion tail in connected to the guitar and bass to control the sound effects along with the singers' vocal effects. One of their own creations welded by the band. They also have the Bassinator. All but the drummer play the same bass at the same time, singer using drum sticks to play the bass.

[@sstein8743]

I think this is badass, but since I know nothing about this machine/instrument, I'm looking for a non-dickhead answer.. @ 1:16 he pushes the left hand lever forward and back, but no sound/effect came from or was played when he did it. So was it a defect, or did he get carried away in the performance/act? Before anyone screams saying I call him a fake, that's not what I'm saying. Many bands that can put on a show like this perform to parts that are prerecorded and played so that the band member can perform something that really draws the fans attention and goes above and beyond per say. Again, in realtime or not, this is badass & must've been 10x better in person

[@darkmatter5390]

I’m just hear for the comments 💀

[@sunmoon3147]

Scorpions tail

[@guevara6791]

i agree man, no way

[@elsa5799]

Am I the only one who thinks about the chipmunks when he sings ? XD

[@shadow54773]

I don’t like it but I don’t hate it. It was interesting

[@Dominik-sz3cy]

A for creativity, but understandable why some people don't like it

[@k13br32]

Who needs a studio

[@hotmilkwill]

where can i buy one of these

[@gmc4jc74]

Loudwire Focus/Hocus Pocus "The sun, and the lightning are false lights, just ask Nikola Tesla, which Thomas Edison a Mason stole the ideas from Tesla." (Nine Inch Nails) "T" "Next!"

[@blake3485]

All the music is being played and altered (with the scorpion tail) in moment it's all live unlike dubstep so stop trying to label it that. What the thing does is alter the bands performance he's it's basically a pedal board to the extreme if you think about it.

[@bravogames4135]

The crowd was so unimpressed lol

[@ma.victoriavargas4268]

Cool

[@keeenanhargrave7021]

Saw them do this at Rockville earlier this year, I’ve never heard such an ear piercing sound like that before. And I’ve never seen an audience shrink so quickly. I appreciate what they’re trying to do but it’s so painfully executed

[@Dartbreakfast]

Feel like I’m watching mad max lmao

[@anthonytomlin904]

Didn't Author and Punisher invent that thing,?

[@ubt8580]

wtf

[@Elchinodiabolero]

Looks cool... sounds as good as a metal band can sound covering electronic music... of course you cant compare this to Black Sabbath or I dunno... any other hyper respected band but well... if we only had perfect bands there would be no Black Sabbath... or Pink Floyd... or whatever...

[@ctxx24]

I thought this was fucking awesome at ROTR

[@stephaniesnider8386]

Love Hawkins

[@temoindubal]

very cool! more gain/volume on the guitars next time! PS: sorry for the 667th like

[@Marta1Buck]

very strange

[@wingmangt]

Dafuq did i just watch.

[@hi1000ish]

Even the crowd is like wtf is this shit this is like bring me the horizon and that shitty korn album I can't remember the name of mixed together ps. Korn is my 3rd favorite band of all time right behind slipknot and solo ozzy and I liked untitled and korn 3 so for me to say that the skrillx album sucked really means something

[@brandan2099]

Wtf am I watching

[@greenpenguin04]

brandan 209 Lmao same

[@kingding9542]

I guess it's actually good but not in this video... ?

[@syopliger7038]

Why were these kids allowed to perform some shit like this?

[@skugee1]

why

[@Naked111Snake]

I guess I'm starting to be to old.

[@rabbitdrink]

bruh

[@El_Ojo_derecho_de_Dalas]

Hay mira si es luisito comunica

[@WesleyMR_]

WTF?!!

[@izanalatreon]

???????????????

[@JamesFerrerosa]

It’s pretty awesome to watch but the vocals could’ve been done better :)

[@nicolinasurel]

James Ferrerosa it strained his voice pretty bad at the Vegas and Aftershock shows

[@salv1cor1]

Wtf

[@tonycortez9873]

What a weirdo no idea what's he doing or what I'm watching

[@kryptoid80]

Nice Bop-It hes playing

[@bobbys6203]

r w copy and paste much?

[@deandixon2476]

This isn’t metal but this is pretty cool

[@tylerhealing1977]

This is embarrassing

[@camerontheseagull3040]

shit i'm first gotta make a joke *dubstep*

[@jaimeandres4409]

I'm a fan of Skrillex but this is just weird

[@BanksHoliday]

This is awesome but why is he pretending to play what's coming from the band on his little levers?

[@Anthony-ib3hr]

This is awful

[@Rivan98]

Cringe

[@TheLinkMedic]

Jesus christ put a shirt on

[@wrongtelevision4270]

What type of dr suse shit was he playing Good song but weird instrument

[@SalTheCryptoFoo]

Ewww lol

[@longtrang5706]

Who likes this I thought it was metal awards

[@ripplewine6112]

All the members of this band were given 7th place trophies in grade school and were told that they were special. Move forward a few years and those trophies and compliments gave them enough courage to start this band. Unfortunately getting 7th place sucks and so does their band.

[@ripplewine6112]

I feel like the drummer plays the same beat on every song

[@longtrang5706]

Who likes this I thought it was metal awards

[@scarycheese6296]

Rock and Metal awards dipshit
