porcupine tree - hatesong live + boyband rant

[@robertfennis6088]

That shirt...

[@lesbonees]

I can never get enough. This version is very impressive. Single guitarist. Very smooth.

[@sjograas]

It's just great with the rant and that shirt... perfectly ironic, with just the perfect mixture of weird.

[@rohitb6]

I never understood the lyrics of the song until i heard this rant :D

[@RockBarnRecords]

dat bass

[@waverider6kj32]

That bas ja

[@Jaramalla]

I love this because I feel the exact same way he does. Steven Wilson is one of my favorite musicians and Porcupine Tree is my favorite band of all time. But what kind of glasses is Steven wearing here?

[@hermanhelmich]

BrownBaron95 We call them SUNglasses, takes off the sharp edges of life

[@TheBlackycat]

Thank you so much for posting this. I was at this show and it was a great performance. I knew there was more video out there besides the "Shesmovedon" that has been posted for quite some time. As for the "poor audience reaction" comment, they got a great audience reaction which is why the band did 3 encores. It just doesn't come through well on this video.

[@ScorpionWing16]

Steven Wilson is the greatest creature God has evolved.

[@splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria I know! Every time is like my first concert. I saw Steven in November for his Grace for Drowning tour and I was blown away!!! I cannot wait to see him or PT again. Also, I don't know if you saw but GfD just won Album of the Year by Popmatters and second best album of the year in Classic Prog Rock magazine. :)

[@herbalh]

THANK YOU! But could someone please upload the whole show? I only have the bootleg and would love to see the whole performance :) Shesmovedon is just marvellous

[@pygge]

Thanx for adding! I enjoyed it a lot and had not seen this before - love this track!

[@moltten]

Agreed. I just love what he said. Lol PT is just soooo amazing in every way! And they're only getting better and better. I live Maitland, but Gavin Harrison is just off the charts.

[@splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria Lucky to find them so early. It took me some time, since I live in a musically bankrupt home and town. I was like 16 or so? I'm 21 now. This band opened me up to so many other amazing artists. I'm incredibly grateful to have heard them and seen them live.

[@gogolplex74]

lo, Steven looks like ozzy osbourne with those glasses

[@HenrikRecurring]

@TheBlackycat thanx=) Ive got more from this show, Ill try to upload them. Just have to figure out how my new mac works =P

[@Skanoza]

The irony of a rant about boy/girl bands from an androgynous-looking Steven Wilson wearing a crop-top! :D By the way, i like this song better with Gavin Harrison on the drums. This one is nice too but not as crisp!

[@PatrickBuzoDrums]

Yeah, this drummer doesn't really do it for me. I could have come up with those parts. Gavin always does unexpected stuff.

[@stephenowen3383]

Maitland is good, but not as good as Harrison. A part of the band's history, just not one of the best modern drummers

[@sab-ali]

Oh i wish i'd known you during the time of that epidemic. When i was buying backstreet boys. I mean i liked metal and rock too even then but hadn't heard PT till 6 years too late.

[@colincooks]

Christine Agoolera! HA!

[@Kerfuffleinahussle]

I cant take him seriously at all when hes wearing...well...that...

[@rhiannonpushchak655]

he has a nice body...

[@arpandas5668]

Sometimes a intro is very important like Steven did here..

[@HenrikRecurring]

@mikethedrumaniac Thats Chris Maitland. He was in the band from ´93 to ´02

[@JuanLAmado-bw7bs]

No Gavin, no party.

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity I was lucky indeed.I grew up,spending time mainly with my uncle and with people older than me :) I was 9-10 back then,I am 27(meeh)today xD....As for their performance live.aaaaaah...saw them like 3 times till now,and can't wait for the next time!!

[@splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria It is! It's weird to feel proud for a musician, but I think he deserves it. I can hardly help myself. I think he's brilliant. I'd love to meet him.

[@drporter2009]

Thanks for the video: finally got a chance (albeit a limited one) to compare Gavin w/ Maitland and although Maitland is good Gavin is truly a cut above.

[@splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria No, that's totally understandable. I have a similar feeling towards him. I feel like he writes music that hear and feel inside of my head. It's weird. It's like he can put into words things I can't. At the risk of sounding like I'm 14, it feels like he's writing what I would. PT and Steven's work just syncs up with my life in a way few other musicians do. Also, I envy your guitar pick. It's a dream of mine to meet this man. I'm totally in love. It's pretty lame.

[@datix]

that bass line is magic

[@splendiferosity]

@MisteriosaVampiria Oh no. I love this. The more I can see of him, the better. Plus it's pretty hilarious, too. I think it's just so him to wear a tiny little shirt, and take a shot at "popular culture". I just love him.

[@FrenchKettleStation]

Poor audience reaction. One of the best performances they've done.

[@jameskostov9353]

French Kettle Station 10 years later, I agree

[@coldwhitespring5004]

He's so angry in these videos, I wonder if his girlfriend just broke up or something.

[@lucyiliffe1799]

I'd love to know what Steven says to Colin @06:38

[@romangeorg]

ohhhh so great!!!!!!!!

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity ehehe...Indeed!I adore anything he does,anyway,since 1993-1994 that I came across PT :D Kind of feel grateful too!!

[@elnegronestor]

I think his T-shirt just shrunk

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity It might sound silly,but this man saved me on the worse periods of my life...So to me it's normal to feel proud for his existance :D I am wearing his guitar pick,the one he gave me after playing the encore ,last September as a cross,around my neck.xD Silly person,yeah...but I have my reasons.LOL

[@iys6890]

I don't think he cares at all what people think of him or his shirt! He's a super creative musician and love that!

[@ThePhobos100]

Still relevant ,when the covid 19 is going.

[@TheBlackycat]

@PuReNiRvANA1 I wasn't the one who downloaded this. Would live to see more of this show since it was the first time i saw them.

[@perperov]

I LOVE Steven's way of dressing here. I'm still laughing :) Great track and great opinions though!

[@sbru7766]

Kicks ass

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity Yeaaaaaah!!!!!!I saw it some min.ago on fb!!!!Amazing,amazing work,as everything he does!!!My genious :D

[@vilewills]

maitland looks so cool in this :-D

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity THANK YOU!me too...I adore it.It shows attitude!!!!Everyone is commenting negatively about it...I thought it was just me that ADORES this look.xD

[@TrippedGian1]

Anyone else think Richard Barbieri looks kinda eerily like Rodger Daltrey?

[@dofty]

Fantastisk!

[@ZeNico34]

@BruisedEyeSockets What would you do if you see your god right in front of you? I don't think that you would jump everywhere. I'd personally stand and listen.

[@leemacwilliams2237]

Our disease?! Steven I love you but your people had the Spice Girls. Cmon man.

[@rhiannonpushchak655]

Sporty Spice does punk now lol

[@stephenowen3383]

Somehow it still isn't great when the music is dreadful and enforces some pretty crappy trends in society.

[@ap2433]

He didn't say JUST your disease. He said, you are ALSO plaguing us with your disease.

[@nicksword87]

Now he has Pop idol to battle against instead of boy bands. Do not understand what Steven is wearing. but even so, i suppose he can do what he wants being one of the greatest people ever!

[@FrenchKettleStation]

@ZeNico34 Totally, just for prog fans at the turn of the century.. It's pretty mellow.

[@amandastevenson6101]

Colin Edwin has not changed one single little bit, has he? Still just the most chill bassist out there 😊 You can really hear, if you're a Fish fan like me, Steven Wilson's influence on Sunsets On Empire and Raingods With Zippos, both of which SW produced. All of Lightbulb Sun, but Hatesong in particular, sounds like it was lifted out of Sunsets. The man's a genius. It's such a shame he's become so pretentious.

[@BigWill2k]

@amandastevenson6101 Colin Edwin is so cool, Ill miss him!

[@splendiferosity]

I like Steven's teeny tiny shirt :> lol

[@spiral2012]

Strat!

[@basino89]

Only the genius of his music counterbalances this disaster of a belly shirt ensemble.

[@63swbfj45]

Well.....nice boy-band shirt...

[@splendiferosity]

@basino89 Disaster? I think you mean delicious.

[@Tumradical]

steven haciendole cover a taylor swift creo que es un gran reconocimiento a lo que hace taylor como musico, compositor y artista... 🤔🙄

[@manco828]

Chris was right for this style of music.

[@Str8Faced]

Maitland sounds really good. I'd honestly never listened to anything earlier than gavin so this was new to me. He doesn't play fills and double kick like gavin but he's solid and he's def got skills. Some of the vocal effect is pretty obnoxious. Oh well. Long live PT

[@BigWill2k]

@Str8Faced reply to 12 year old comment hype! :D This version has a guitar solo, the Harrison version is a drum solo lol

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

@splendiferosity It's not lame...Well,I didn't actually meet him...I just aproached the stage,wanting to shake his hand,and say "thank you" or sth similar,and he gave me the pick!!!ehehe...Anyway,I totally get your point and I agree...and I also think that I sound like a 14 year old,but who cares???xD Check your inbox...I am afraid that people here will get upset with us...don't want my comments to be concidered as spam.ehehe

[@ebermed]

Chris Maitland is amazing!!!

[@Verdant_Eternity]

Love it but hate his crop top haha. It’s a crop top right?

[@Oenols]

While Gavin is a much better drummer, somehow I feel that Chris probably worked better together with Colin. They seem to have a certain dynamic, as displayed on Metanoia.

[@sheryll4]

I just came here after watching Gavin Harrison version of hatesong... I m so disappointed here

[@TX3Proggy]

@mikethedrumaniac His name's Chris Maitland, the first and the only one , for me, drummer of PT

[@psychodelian]

takes a lot of nerve to wear a shirt like that and criticize boybands!

[@silveraindrop75]

hey i actually like all of those bands. they were apart of my childhood. D:

[@johnbrown2273]

silveraindrop75 must be a groupthinker D:

[@LucicPower]

Why did Gavin replace this drummer?

[@stephenowen3383]

Jonathan Jensen I suspect it was the style change. In Absentia was really the first prog-metal album so maybe Maitland's style didn't suit.

[@Spermofdog]

With In Absentia they've got a new contract which included extensive touring. Old drummer for some reasons couldn't commit himself that much so he left.

[@johnbrown2273]

Because he’s way better

[@kamas74able]

People stop f..k compare chris and gavin. Its f...k silly. Think

[@buckfuttler2877]

and he had the balls to release fucking "permananting"....hypocrite....

[@Creed_fan_69]

Hate this band but I love that bass.
