The Bass Arrow never dies

[@ryanforman8208]

Literally said the same shit in my head just before I saw ur comment. I salute👌

[@ArsenicCandy]

I still fire one off every time I listen to this track

[@FoolForRespect]

I use to do that when we came up with some good stuff at rehearsal space :D

[@jahstandedios7]

i miss this

[@Patchw0rkx]

And still, 6 years later. It's alive and well

[@Angel_EU34]

Just checking out this band because the guy with the shirt on the Jared Dines vid

[@LeCoffeeMonster]

same dude, now im going to check out all their songs ^_^

[@elpatoamo4136]

Me too lol

[@alexsanderdelatorre8919]

Lol.

[@stabblooder6148]

Yuppers

[@tbone6924]

SAME! LOL

[@SamTheRubberMan]

I'm really glad this specific version of this video is still up. Don't get me wrong. The quality is abominable. That's just it, though. This is exactly how I found this video twelve years ago when I was 15, stumbled upon this video, and this band changed music for me. It's a beautifully ugly time capsule. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@wesleyhackelton4849]

That's honestly a beautiful way to look at this, holy shit

[@pukvvozduh]

❤️

[@agileist]

Preach my friend

[@bleedgoat]

This man speaks the truth. My first was Bloodmeat, and hell yeah my man, changed music for me forever. Got to meet the boys in person some years ago, and they were the friendliest bunch of blokes. Eating pizza and drinking beer before their show at a little bar called Sundowners close to Johannesburg in South Africa when i still lived there.

[@MrSevenEleven]

It's just shitty video quality, it's not that serious dude.

[@dzjackson]

14 years later and I still want a cut of this video where it’s only takes of Arif playing bass

[@jareddangelo347]

Agreed. I came back to this video cause I'm trying to learn the song on bass 😭😭

[@zJIGSAWz666]

i love the bassist and his hand gestures. one of my favorite bands ever!!

[@maadmike1]

To this day, when I’m on stage. I still fire many bass arrows. Thank you arif ❤

[@LnknPrk137]

This still slaps after 15 years!

[@codekhalil6437]

Right there with ya

[@Beanys728]

This desperately needs to be re-uploaded in better quality. Great song and video. But that quality though.

The arrow never gets old, arif one hell of a bassist though 🤘😍

[@kennsquires4139]

My sister went to prom with him

[@bloobloo78]

every time i hear these guys, i can't help but thinking "these guys would've been huge in the '80s"

[@NV86thr]

🤔

[@martse11]

their singer has such a massive range! Not a huge fan of the band, but I hugely respect them as amazing musicians

[@bsjdhheineken.7988]

One of the most underrated unfortunately. Absolutely love everything of this band.

[@DoragonEnkou]

I can't single out anything which impresses me the most. Guitarists, bassist, drums, vocalist, they're all well above par in my opinion. They all hold themselves with such confidence, and I don't know many smoking vocalists with a range like Rodys'. Definitely one of my favourite bands.

[@h3nRiQu3J]

Everyone in this band oozes with talent and yes I have to agree the bassist is RIDICULOUSLY good

[@daftbenson]

The Bass Arrow never dies #2023

[@JohnSmith-tk4ed]

Yeah that bassist is everything...period

[@TanjPlays]

The bassist is just loving life in this video, he's so cool!

[@supapintofreak]

Man, I remember stumbling across this song as I was looking for music to rip off of KZbin in the early years.... The nostalgia of that bass I swear makes my heart so happy

[@mitsakos1313]

Smooth. The arpeggios at the end are so beautiful.

[@Yeah_Whocares]

Wow almost 12 years ago. I remember watching this when it was first released. I had the 'dirt off your shoulder' and the arrow parts down after the first hour.

[@HEALBOIBEDSIDE1]

Same

[@tribaltyn]

this guys voice an skill is phenomenal. this song stands like a brick, undeniably well written

[@MaksonGamingHD03]

Thank you, obsessive fan

[@neolbioldey]

This band is the manifestation of having one part of a song but not having the other part finished and just doing whatever you want with it.

[@neolbioldey]

@keepitsecret-dl1pr no. This band isn't the same

[@Kabz8]

240p. Nice. making progress from the bloodmeat vid

[@akraticabsurd4594]

Just what I was thinking...

[@leojenkins4232]

The Bloodmeat video sounds better tho

[@randerins]

from potato to melon

[@goosechickinpox7538]

I rather have good audio

[@chelseachelseachelsea4604]

I love it when Prince does the bass arrow.

[@GritsNDesu]

Why is it so hard for all these labels to upload videos from prior to 2010 in a respectable quality? It's not 1999, why is everything in like, 140p.

[@WickedTalon]

Its because youtubes file size limit was really small and videos had to be compressed to all hell for it to be uploaded.

[@indigoiozzi]

the audio quality is also low

[@starrk7158]

I actually get quite a nostalgic feeling from this. XD

[@WhiteWalls75]

these guys are my age and i couldnt dream of even beginning to comprehend to start writing music like this sooooo... huge props i love it

[@bandmanevan]

1:12 nuff said

[@jakewestrich99]

i love how in the breakdown everyone ones rockin out and the bassist is sittin there all chilled :P

[@necron07]

Arif firing the bow is the most legit thing I've ever seen.

[@scuffycat]

The vocalist is what makes a lot of their stuff great. Anything else would blow.

[@mrjplays625]

Gotta love the crisp 240p quality

[@FictionZero]

The versatility of this band kicks in my ears. I love it.

[@ivan1127]

watching for the bass arrow in 2015!

[@intrepid_wandering]

The bow shot is legendary.

[@hapiness32]

coolest bassist ever !

[@DakotaB2012]

I had the audio from this video on my MP3 player back in high school. It’s funny listening to it now and realizing how low quality it is, lol. Forever a great song though.

[@WarlordFlanker]

Man saw these guys live in Dallas back in '09, haven't listened to them in ages and still remember the lyrics!

[@RTSD06]

why? hes an incredible vocalist, ridiculously good range...it would be difficult to find another vocalist with that much talent and versatility.

[@OkamiSonataX]

Love this song, and they look like they had so much fun making this video. I know I had fun watching it^^ And I love 1:13

[@joseleSpain]

this band is awesome. And the singer is also incredible.

[@Immoskyl]

PTH still kicks ass in 240px

[@jaythom1985]

Sometimes it takes u to get older to realize others talents but this guy has a beautiful range in his voice

[@archangel312]

I noticed something about this band, I never like the way they start the songs off but once it begins to progress through I really start to enjoy them.

[@MarkRoessler]

1:11 epic bow-and-arrow shot

[@MIDImorphosis]

search 'arif is lethal'

[@Sebasdecline]

MIDImorphosis You sir just made my fucking year AWESOME!!! Thank you so very very much!!!

[@BloodyKing13]

omg what are u talking about.. this man have a HUGE range of vocal tech.. is amazing!

[@collidingwithmars]

The audio quality of a potato.

[@varekai570levick9]

the audio quality of asking alexandria*

[@ricardomavs817]

Richard Levick I lo e these guys. But asking alexandria is my favorite band. You sure as hell know nothing about them if you're using them as part of an insult. : p get out of your bubble and listen to bands who haven't gone on Hiatus

Man, some of respect with the band, Vagrant Records. Please, re-upload this video in a decent quality.

[@Jacev_]

I absolutely love that this video is the same one I saw 15 years ago. I remember downloading the tab for this song first and I thought to myself - "How the fuck are they even playing that?" then saw the video and was like "Ohhhhhh. I have a long way to go" lol

[@nellydaydreamer6568]

This song never gets old... Even after almost 10 years.... Who watch this in 2017?

[@biangelboy21]

Still epic...dudes got an amazing set of pipes

[@WillieDC28]

Going thru a bunch of music videos... found this, some Periphery, and other bands... about to jump back into this metal tho! Damn Protest was fuckin amazing at what they did. This was the song that got me started on them. And i have these albums. Gotta go listen again

[@paparidis1637]

the way the music goes i think we will have to grow a second pair of hands to play it...they play so fu..ng unreall i cant believe i could play that live as they do...and i play guitar 20 years..

[@medinaar116]

I'm here after Jared dines interview jaja

Probably the best Progressive Metal band to come out of Canada

That's exactly what I was thinking

This album dropped two days after the second episode of the first season of Breaking Bad was aired (and, consequently, nine days after the first episode)

2024. Still watching. Fucking dope.

[@mongoose1582]

1:14 that harmonic

[@krasmandude]

Shortest track on the album. In my opinion, the best damn track. Just goes to show that good things come in small packages.

[@pilypunk]

The intro reminds me of Jason Becker's "perpetual burn".

[@Stadiocade2]

He wouldn't happen to be the other former Cacophony guitarist (along with Marty Friedman), would he...?

[@pilypunk]

yes he is! awesomeness overload.

[@Idioteque311]

one of the coolest bands out there right now

[@Riverswept]

No one can walk straight in those hallways apparantly. Awesome vocals though.

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

Arif is crazy on bass. That shit is hard. And he screams while playing that complicated shit lol.

[@FrankyPayne]

Why jesse pickman so mad lol

[@6idangle]

Rody predates jesse

[@FrankyPayne]

You predate my joke!

[@BRKogy]

i love the archer bow thing the guy doesn in that part

[@imid3440]

the guy on jared’s vid got me all hyped... i’m so disappointed

[@Bellamy07]

Imi D is it because of the quality of the video? I could understand that but if you're talking about this bands musical talent then there's nothing to be disappointed about at all, they deliver.

[@DavyMcWavy]

I’m disappointed at your disappointment.

[@jtaylor476]

What Davy said

[@blobertisoriginal]

Rody Walker and Randy Blythe are the two best screamers in metal. period.

[@wypimentel]

Freddie Mercury???

[@Bucgt]

Agree 100%

[@USHARDY]

Sounds more like Dio to me

[@starrk7158]

Spot on

[@Okhaospdc]

yeah, and very very clean vocal

[@MetalHead1058]

Steinberger's are possibly the sickest guitars and basses out there

[@MrJuandiego1988]

Looks like it was filmed with a tamale

[@s3dation]

OMFG. WHEN ARIF SHOOTS THAT BOW AT LIKE 1:13. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT IT'S SO AWESOME.

[@achewyrock]

Definitely an awesome few seconds.

[@ALG062010]

This band...his voice...hell yes! I remember seeing them at Warped Tour back in 2008. Still love these guys.

[@Yangmang]

i absolutely love, ador and worship how this guy sings holy fuck were hav u been all my life he can mix on notes and screams and sound so fucking epic holy fuckin fuck

[@BigTymerPimp]

What originally attracted me to this song, other than the fact that it kicks ass, was the fact that it sounds like 3 different songs that unify into one. Many prog bands take like 8 minutes to accomplish this type of sound in one song, and they did it under 4 minutes. They desrve some kind of award for that.

[@ryoshamo]

Any song pwns through the fire and flames..

[@mudpoet1]

amazing he's changing his voice....

[@kury906]

gotta love that bow and arrow move

[@Warhawkhastetheday]

I'm diggin' the synapse bass

[@Youjustgotsnip3d]

Bassist kicks ass. Singers highs are high as hell and then he can just drop them so low it's fucking awesome.

[@CBarbosa23]

and the drumming is badass.

magnificent 240p HD ... somehow song still sounds awesome
