Porcupine Tree - Bonnie the Cat [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@kunns123]

Bonnie the cat had many a story to tell. But it was a rare occasion such as this that she did

[@brodyyohai2316]

Underrated comment

[@TheWolfboy512]

Tommy the Cat is my name...and I say unto Thee...(Beautiful & funny reference)

[@DanielS10291]

Say baby

[@drury2d8]

Primus SUCKS.

[@avisheksubba6445]

Isn't Bonnie the famous Robber? Bonnie and Clyde?

[@spydermaker]

Awesome tune based around Gavin's brilliant drumming. LOVE IT!

[@TempestDacine]

I had only heard Time Flies before this, and wow...this song is just something else. I'm a Porcupine Tree fan now

[@rizzorizzo2311]

Man it must feel good to know you have one of the best drummers ever playing for your band. Like having the most reliable employee ever you never have to worry about.

[@ThatRoadrunner]

Porcupine Tree, the greatest band you've never heard of.

[@moonfool4042]

Best Drums you'll ever hear on any form of music!!!

[@o0LanternLight0o]

why does it seem like every time i get on youtube, i find a porcupine tree music video i had no idea even exsisted? they are my favorite band for crying out loud...

[@nobbyhobby2071]

One of the best songs ever written.

[@webshadow69]

Tool influenced video + Porcupine Tree Song = Eargasm

[@mannymorganmorgan9063]

Gavin simply a gods special product, it's unbelievable stuff that no can't even imagine.

[@erdemduman23]

Roadrunner Records showed us why they were named like "roadrunner" by making this song faster.

[@FACEL1FT]

Yeah this is trippin me up

[@nope-z5y]

My brain gets all sweaty when I listen to the drums.

[@DJBalkenende70]

The most crazy rythm..........in 4/4!!

[@chrisf8904]

I literally sent this to the drummer in the band I was in 20 years ago, that I haven't talked to for 12 years and have only caught up with a month ago cause this is fricken ridiculously tasty. I'm the bass player and OMFG I want to play this live!

[@droptherapy2085]

As a fellow bassist I definitely agree that the basslines sound really fun to play

[@mrbungle3310]

Guitarist here,i want to play Richards Synths here so bad... brought his inner Japan

[@Absolutely_puck_fakestine]

Literally ?

[@highartalert6927]

Its quite obvious. WIlson's musical genius is best complemented by Gavin's beautiful drumming.

[@mynameismud956]

Actually, Gavin's musical genius is complemented by wilson's beautiful singing

[@AntiOrumcek]

I agree but do you have to mention all these? This is why we will never ever see it happening again. 🤣 SW can't and won't accept another name to be mentioned along his... That's the reason to see his solo line up evolving to less superior on each album.

[@MrSonata12]

@@AntiOrumcek New PT album this year with Gavin and Richard 😉

[@Ric653]

And by Richard Barbieri's keyboards

[@jeanjacqueslundi3502]

Nah, Gavin's great but Maitland is the best PT drummer for me.

[@olaqrtyna4327]

Excellent soundtrak , each instrument harmonizes with the rest. Pure harmony, perfekt cooperation - form a whole. As in the orchestra, there is no more important and the less important because every detail (musicians, instruments, vocals) form unified the final effect - you just have to know how to listen... I personally think that the albums, songs PT and S.W. They are excellent, inspiring, important, needed, just fucking cool...

[@eeph4eva]

Not really... I mean it sounds a bit odd in the beginning, but once you wrap your ears around it, it's actually quite easy to hear that it's in 4/4 time. Awesome song, anyway

[@BWP-u3y]

Best Valentines Day song, ever! 😆

[@joserobertorv4227]

The best song of "The incident". Amazing vídeo!!..

[@markadams9999]

Song is great, and as usual Gavin's drumming is just fucking incredible ! Without a doubt the best drummer !

[@Psicokass]

Can't feel the pain that I expected I still place keys in the ignition I know what will be One thought is stopping me from sleeping I saw the future and it's breeding I know what will be Could be your last resort Like gold against your soul There are three things that I would die for But I am sure you're not one of them I know what will be Could be your last resort Like gold against your soul [Whispered:] You think you've got it all wrapped up now You stumble on so unsuspecting I know what will be) I hold your birth control to ransom The cells divide and grow inside you I know what will be I know what will be I know what will be

[@saccccon]

fantastic! The ideal of perfect band is here in front of your eyes

[@SplendidFellow]

Still can't nail the time signature on this.

[@contemplativeidiot1]

4/4 believe it or not

[@reggaeraptor9143]

When the drummer writes the song 😂 Gavin Harrison your the man!!

[@sidewayssky17]

The Grand Conjuration at 3:48.

[@analogpark8059]

yes!

[@nicolemarieb.7044]

Glad you said that. I know a little bit of Opeth, but i'm friends with an Opeth superfan. This song (The CG) came on, and i said "oh, that's like Bonnie the Cat" to myself. Later i tried to bring up that some Opeth and PT riff was very similar, and he didnt know what i was talking about.

[@VictorDodon]

@@nicolemarieb.7044 but didn't the Opeth TGC come out before Bonnie the cat?

[@sergiovelasquez5138]

@@VictorDodon yes, TGC came out in 2005 and this was released in 2009. Besides, Mikael and Steven are kinda best friends so it's pretty obvious it's an Opeth reference.

[@6yvonne]

EXACTLY!!!

[@lucaskebi8678]

amazing song and drums too

[@JimmyAbbots]

A little step away from classic Porcupine Tree songs. Well done.

[@locosychocrazy1]

Great song! Those drums and the bass, man!

[@timmarrier]

There's only one other band with these skills: Atomship, the album is called The Crash of '47. Pure art, just like these guys...

[@Wedigar]

OSI is another band with skills. Gavin Harrison drums on two of their albums, and Steven Wilson sings in the song Shutdown.

[@MrDrumontherun19]

This song just makes you think about time...What if I told you it was entirely in 4/4? Hard to believe, right?

[@roopetiihonen6129]

just learned this drum beat. One of my favorite jams :D

[@rmazali]

Amazing video for an out-of-this-world song.

[@noonelies4ever]

Nice video,been a fan four 2 years glad to listen them online.they deliver good music

[@soundgardener4940]

01:00 That strip of metal over the eyes must come in handy with detail work. Nice one, Asimov.

[@Anaximander29A]

Legend has it that Gavin Harrison made a deal with the devil once. Nobody knows what Gavin got, but the devil got drumlessons.

[@JustGrun]

That is the best drum comment ever))

[@mikeg4972]

Great music, great video.

[@TheProletarius]

the video is also amazing ,reminds Tool !

[@Fenrasulfr]

The bass line of this song allways remember me of the Knight Rider theme song.

[@usandthemakakelly2535]

😂

[@PiousMoltar]

I liked PT at this time but I don't remember them being THIS good. woah.

[@profdimusica369]

incredible track!

[@dawncroy]

Reliving my love of Porcupine Tree and Gavin Harrison

[@organicate]

Here's a thought.. Porcupine Tree, Opeth and Dream Theater are all on Roadrunner at the moment. They need to put together a tour with those 3 bands. That would be progressive. Not to mention amazing.

[@soundgardener4940]

Dream Theater sounds like Weaponized TurboMech Nerds practising scales, and don't even mention that fat ginger canuck with the fucked pipes, ARGH they're UTTER FUCKING DRECK.

[@VJelectro]

It's not a bad thing that this video is similar to a Tool video. In fact, the world needs more videos like this. It's much more engrossing and you get enveloped in the vibe of the music. This song is totally badass, by the way. Amazing drum rhythm and the arabian scale bit is icing on the cake.

[@Dioliveson55]

3:07 love that bass riff!

[@tribaltyn]

saw this video during live performance, pretty intense that was.

[@tnpbass22]

total new era of music

[@soundgardener4940]

Set down the crack pipe, Bono or Dave Grohl will be along shortly to gush utter nonsense about bands with you.

[@Nosferatu_u]

This is amazing

[@fafafak6]

my first Porcupine Tree song. that drum danm

[@6chhelipilot]

PT gets all TOOLed up.

[@waldenbeaudet736]

Fuck yeah!

[@akshaysinha9777]

Piyush Stoicist I believe he is comparing Portnoy with Gavin, not the video. Which is spot on.

[@headofvengarl8893]

Akshay Sinha: You might have it a bit mixed up there; Mike Portnoy is Dream Theater's drummer, Danny Carey is Tool's drummer. But yeah, Gavin is incredible and so is Danny. And so are their respective bands of course.

[@pyramidhead3109]

@@piyusha1234 Clearly you haven't seen Tool's music videos at the time.

[@soundgardener4940]

Sure, sure... 03:49 - 04:23 is total and utter genius, I was on the edge of my seat, what a BIT though! *_EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH! EUNGH!_* That's prog right there folks.

[@waldenbeaudet736]

This band, I think, is a cross between Tool, Shpongle, and Pink Floyd. Tasty.

[@flintwolf3951]

three bands that i all love so much, shpongle deserves more recognition

[@waldenbeaudet736]

Yes, Shpongle is just so "tasty" to the ears

[@Christestament]

Never heard of Shpongle before. I should give it a try. Btw, Tool and Pink Floyd are finest!

[@waldenbeaudet736]

Shpongle is some crazy shit, it'll REALLY make you spiral out, ha.

[@ZoltanvamosOfficial]

Walden Beaudet Fun Little Fact, Steven Never Really Liked Tool! he LOVED Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Crosby Stills and Nash, Iron Maddin and Metallica. I know this stuff because I dug my face into researching this stuff

[@spaz480]

equally awesome! band none the less, glad to see some Les fans in here too!

[@imetzl9340]

The best part part is it's all in 4/4

[@drury2d8]

when I watched the tutorial my jaw fell off. British Sorcery

[@soundgardener4940]

Why is that the best part? Oh, I get it: you're doing that gormless thing where you want to bring attention to something trivial, so you preface it with _"the best part is"_ despite it not being remotely the best in any way shape or form...okay look, just fuckin' forget it, okay _"Lee?"_ I've got bigger fish to...buy. Love, Mum PS: You killed your father. I mean my father. Both. Oh my God, Lee...how do we have the same....EWWWWWWWWW?! That's *_disgusting!_* Oh thank GOD you killed them! I mean him.

[@CubeDrummer3]

Sound Gardener no dumbass if you understood anything about music, you would realize that this beat and song sounds nothing like 4/4 time but somehow still is, that is why it’s awesome

[@pankeaux]

i got that referece

[@sillylieu]

No, it's 7/8 and 9/8 alternating. That's a big difference from straight up 4/4.

[@treumatic8420]

My heart aching, my brain melting...

[@q0w1e2r3t4y5]

I like this cause it resembles Karnivool somehow! My other fav is Circle of Manias cause it's so djenty :D And the joker is Time flies. That is so calming and nice.

[@patrickniendorf4360]

Gavin Harrison is currently the best drummer on this planet..............Hands down

[@Indianpsychonaut]

Ever heard of Mario Duplantier or Thomas Hakee

[@GiveSic]

If I ever made a movie or video game this song would be the music for the end credits.

[@AtomHeartMother]

This sounds a lot faster than how it is on the album. The album version is much better!

[@Marco-zt4xu]

It's incredible that it's a 4/4 (!)

[@ian2120]

I believe it is sped up because the video is really made to be a companion to their live shows, but I remember seeing this video else where, and it wasn't faster. And I don't remember the Radio City being at this tempo. In fact, I know it wasn't. It could be youtube

[@Livielue96]

Came to say this song still hits in 2020

[@dylansantos5958]

2021 🤘

[@fuzzylogiceire]

Theres probably some other songs by them you'd like, a lot of their stuff is quite accessible.

[@splendiferosity]

I really like this song. And this vid was kinda kewwwl. I was hoping they'd post it after I saw it at Radio City.

[@Lazzie_the_Psilocybe_Deity]

Les Claypool and Steven Wilson aren't really comparable. They are both outstanding musicians. Their lyrics actually make sense. Other music of today isn't like that. Steven is more emotional than Les. Les is more political than Steven. They both do their own things in music, and they are on my top 5 favorite solo artists.

[@chubby41]

It's incredible!

[@thesolo]

@Kapper2310 It is. It's slightly shifted & sped up.

[@jamesrisk7693]

Okay, this has been bothering me but I swear the bridge sounds exactly like the chorus from The Grand Conjuration by Opeth

[@Opranius]

I'm pretty sure it's a hidden love letter from Steven to Mikael. ;-)

Neal was an awesome drummer, but hes wasn’t the only one. Many shitty fanboys consider that he and only plays like, godlevel, when there are many others drummers that can play as well as he did. Ps: Gavin is truly awesome

[@drummerxx1]

faster than normal?

[@johnpaulmills3467]

drummerxx1 i thought so, the guitar center session with gavin it was a bit slower

[@kevinyouyube]

drummerxx1 And the pitch sounds higher than the original.

[@Rad631]

+drummerxx1 yeah, it's because that way is less video lenght... comercial business...

[@Lofi.z34]

Or they changed the speed to dodge KZbin's system that catches copyright stuff by reading the audio in the video and comparing it to the record. A slight change in speed will desync it from the record

[@Adiaf8oros]

But it's uploaded by their company... Anyway. I don't know why they did it, but I want to hear it the way the band intended!

[@JohnTheRipper2]

dude, thanks for introducing me to primus. really, thanks!

[@Linixion]

@PennyDreadful1 Yeah I get what you're saying, and that's cool. Not everyone's brain resonates on the same level, or perceives the same thing in the music they listen to. Some songs I get tired of while I'm driving in a car, but if I chill out and listen in headphones I think it's amazing, there are many factors to listening to music.

[@ReyCarmesi97]

i want this band on Argentina!!

[@GerhardtMR]

What if I told you Tool weren't the first to do darkly surrealistic stop animation? But, I do agree, it shares a similar genre mood.

[@lorenwhit]

@Calabrone92 yeah this guy is right. the time sig despite despite being in 4.4 is so complex, gavin harrison is a boss.

I don't know how the hell it took me 10 plus years to find out this even existed, but here I am and there ya go... It seems kinda not PT-like? Something about it just strikes me odd but I'm not sure why.

[@Linixion]

@KoreyKu I like Fear of a Blank Planet :( I get what you're saying, but I kind of feel like KoreyKu has a point in that this song and some of more recent Porcupine Tree has taken a turn (I think for the better, in that I'm not a fan of bands recycling old music) to focus on a more complicated metal (probably Opeth inspired) aspect. When I heard songs on The Incident like Circle of Manias and Octane Twisted, I jizzed my pants. PT remains the epitome of everything I like about music.

[@Calabrone92]

@bnanacheese2 ahaha is the first problem for everyone...but..the song is in 4\4...:) it's a rhythmic illusion of the accents on the time...:) try count the time ,starting from the first quarter...and you'll see that the song is in 4\4...strange 4\4...sorry if my english is not perfect :D
