The Black Angels - "Bad Vibrations" Billboard Tastemakers Session

[@rippersk8er]

The Black Angels, or the band with the best sunglasses collection ever.

[@NarquelieNarmo]

Thanks to SpecOps The Line, I've discovered this amazing band !

[@dafunkester]

brilliant game! brilliant band!

[@iaindrennan3552]

the most underrated band in the cosmos!

[@paleface4804]

not as underrated as king gizzard and the lizard wizard !!

[@michaelmurray8538]

@@paleface4804 not anymore

[@IHearColorsinMydreams]

🖤

[@faulerhassan2]

You don't choose psychedelic. Psychedelic chooses you.

[@sprag80]

This is a great band that plays a spooky smooth psychedelica. And by the way, at 64 I'm no hipster.

[@marcusvalera5406]

Shit!!!!!! What a song!!!!!! Psychedelic!!!!!!

[@jtibby]

I have seen thses guys live and they do not rip anyone off. It is refreshing for a new band to go back to 60 psychedelic roots. These guys rock!!

[@lastcatamount]

It's not about the voice, it's about the style of his voice, the spirit of his singing that makes him like Morrison...

[@oscardelmontay]

The influences are obvious but it shouldn't take away from the fact that they're an awesome band and this is an absolute tune.

[@christianestamm2655]

Love this psychedelic music too. What a band !!

[@anthonycarvale]

holy shit. totally blown away by this band. exactly what i've been looking for. just bought phosphene dream on eBay.

[@jackwinterheld4335]

Just wanted to tell, you guys were the best soundtrack Spec Ops could wish for. This song just goes so well with the "Blood on the sand" theme.

[@liorhavkin]

no words to describe how good this is...

[@fiveola]

What a voice! Killer band, sound, music. Hooray!

[@alvarop1984]

What a freakin rock n roll voice this guy has!

[@joanab8367]

After long seven years, finally im going to see The Black Angels live this September. So, so, so happy!

[@NoahDavidFrancis]

How was it?

[@joanab8367]

NoahDavidFrancis i was lucky. Saw them doing the sound check and then the gig. Absolutely amazing

[@Universalvibrations42]

Such a sexy sound! Definitely has some Morrison vibes!

[@dafunkester]

This song got me into the black angels, it's still my favourite, disappointed they didn't do it on the latest tour but glad I went to see them perform.

[@zabanboylan]

One of the best shows I've seen @ the Turf in St. Paul a few years ago (2nd only to any Black-Eyed Snakes show) The best thing about this band, that you don't get to see here, is every band member can play every instrument on stage. The ol' switch-a-roo. Fun to see. Also, their visual projection crew has got it down.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Thanks guys when we going to expose the pandemic?

[@mikigamba]

His voice turns me crazy! Amazing!

[@Magoolu]

They sound really good.

[@jojojojolene]

Ahhhhh, the most soothing voices. Melt my heart.

[@kenwahman]

These guys grab me as the Doors did, something about the lyrics that ring as Morrison's poetic mind...Then the Music flows with the Lyrics very nice..

[@hamza4u119]

not gonna lie, I have no clue what the lyrics even mean as a whole but it kicks hard when it play, especially with spec ops the line

[@ledzeppelinfan1001]

@karlmorris-xz6iq STOP SPAMMING YOUR MID ASS BAND.

[@kconway19]

this band is defiantly the child of the doors and the velvet underground

[@raceyboy]

Saw these cats open for Blue Cheer years ago. My mind was bent after that night.

[@phoenix3467]

this is a great band. reminds me of the great music that came out in the 60s.

[@Magneira]

The drummer is just awesome, listen to snake in the grass or science killer, she destroys

[@dogma427]

what about Never/Ever

[@pamgjertson8258]

I have to admit, I have a girl crush on her - she is so fantastic!

[@aidanvinum]

it's bizarre to hear something this good without an explosion of clapping at the end.

[@lee89MD]

THIS IS FUCKING ART PEOPLE LISTEN TO SOME GOOD FUCKING MUSIC!!!!!!!!

[@chinary8]

Me too! Stumbled on to them a few months back. Great stuff.

[@nunaoooo]

how awesome is you just standing on your home when you hear some music, then you go to the window and there it is, BLACK ANGELS PLAYING ON A ROOF HOLY SHIT!

[@silvannahsh]

I need more of this 🖤

[@Johnhamiltonmusic]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@47arff]

What's the problem here. They don't play music like this anymore and this is pretty good. I'm enjoying this

[@pipette1001]

i truly enjoy this band.

[@mtm1bk]

Epic beyond words

[@lupegee3726]

This song really hits especially when drinking glass of red fetzer wine ....love just hearing the bass and singer playing awesome man

[@xSoulofsounDx]

yessir, its off the Phosphene Dream album 2010. Killer album. All of their albums are spot on in this psychedelic vein. if you need help locating it lemme know and i will get it to you

[@KRUSTYskates]

The Velvet Underground + The Doors + LSD = The Black Angels

[@fraannkkiieeN000]

[@machinimafan27]

PERFECT VOICE RIGHT ON KEY

[@lindab30]

going to see these guys Friday - cannot wait - dadadadada - also playing Allah-Las and Elephant stone!!!!!! should be so so good!!!

[@sgtbaker2072]

I got into this band from the game Spec Ops: The Line. The First Vietnamese War starts playing over these loud speakers as you're thrown into a firefight you don't understand what started it. Chaos, bullets wizzing past overhead, explosions, and that badass riff coming in harder than it all. I was hooked. Freaked out when Young Men Dead closed out the first episode of True Detective too. They're so legit.

[@wolle_g]

man!!!!!! what a band!

[@emeraldaubergine]

I honestly thought the first time I heard the Black Angels that amazing voice belonged to a woman. What an astoundingly beautiful set of lungs! So unusual, and made even more gorgeous for the fact.

[@bodhisattva99]

fresh... ghosts are definitely in the music... but it's fresh... and it hits all the right spots...

[@monmuns]

best stuff heard in a long time

[@Waltos]

You've gotta love a good, creative, cool band with a lefty guitar player! : )

[@tetrasoviet]

amasing band ! thx good for the people who understund the doors and pinkfloyd

[@hellotina22]

Great video. They all look pretty in the light of day!

[@capsuladeltiempo444]

Holy shit. this is fucking awesome.

[@Seiosh]

love it! add the 13th floor elevators to the mix.

[@Pagra101]

Black Sabbath Black Lips Black Angels Black Keys

[@iamrichrocker]

damn..these guy sounds like Jim..this has a Doors vibe..

[@Littlebabyandersen]

@TheShantyThieves you're awesome!

[@MrTor1968]

starke band, habe alle drei cds. alle gut. gehört zu meinen favoriten wie vibravoid und zone six

[@josifkaramazov84]

Just wow!

[@Free1108]

@az0r22 I just listened to them for the 1st time on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert and was very impressed. They went acoustic in those tiny offices at NPR and the sound they put out was not like anyone I had EVER heard do acoustically! Amazing! As I was listening I did hear the old familiar psychedelic rock sound that reminded me of The Doors; I grew up w/ that music; BUT not once did I think they were ripping them off. I thought The BA had their own current and unique progressive psych rock sound.

[@beatear]

@TheWiganKebab MuteMath, Black keys.... they are from states to... amazing bands as well!

[@garse70]

I don't think he would draw many comparisons to, Mr. Jim Morrison, because of his higher voice, but his cadence and style are very similar. Still good though.

[@valiagiannarou]

excellent.. excellent band....

[@metrakos]

this band is new my newest discovery.......they got it

[@krishnainka9036]

Dope

[@wldw10]

I dig these guys a lot. just got turned on to them. I hear Jim, & VU, but also hear early PF & Syd Barrett here as well. very cool indeed. come to Chicago!

[@TheWiganKebab]

@beatear cheers for the heads up on MuteMath. Black Key are top indeed.

[@10y8st]

dude we just gave you a ride from the wild horse bad ass you rock.

[@cody4556743]

@rheniumeyes yes! thank you

[@MarkDally]

I think I just found my new favourite band

[@ayankabroad3239]

How can one band, be so fucking overlooked? If I had just robbed a bank, shotgunned an entire case of Bud, and escaped in my 1968 supercharged hot rod with my big breasted leather clad vixen, having a shoot out with the 'filthy coppers'...this band..would be playing in the background lol

[@mrkrismMcmaster]

A Yank Abroad if I’d just stole a pint of milk which was delivered by the the milk man wearing nothing but a Celtic Track suit with a pair of snowboarding goggles and a potato gun shouting hail hail the queens in jail with the mi5 on my tail, this would be the background song. From Scotland with pure nonsense

[@ronniemglasgow]

this is class.

[@jjgodioso]

A melhor que ja apareceu por aqui , MUITO BOM .

[@stuzo666]

Love this stuff, mission district is the best

[@mexicanseafood1]

his tonal frequency may be a bit higher but his lyrical and melodic style are very much Jim.

[@COLORUSGONE]

OH, I didn't think it was the same version. Thanks!

[@fernandorujano]

this is psychedelic

[@ahahahahawat]

@KRUSTYskates not sure what the "+ LSD" is supposed to mean. the doors and the vu both used lsd already lol also don't forget the 13th floor elevators, huge influence on the black angels

[@treeskier170]

@kjaxin1 hell of a live show. see them as soon as you can.

[@Tr3sesonplayeras]

big great song!!

[@landonhambright8870]

This reminds me of Grace Slick in a strange way.

[@Nameisredacted]

Maybe lesser known, but Black Flag and Black Tambourine are top notch.

[@az0r22]

@degree7 Who said anything about inventing psychedelia . The byrds where psychedelic folk when the first started , I feel as the 13th floor elevators were Of the first to bring psychedelia into the rock scene ( not the first ). I used the 13th floors just an example though , because lots of bands at that time shared this short of lo fi , yet psychedelic sound each one tho being unique . The same I think applies to the bad angels , they might share characteristics of bands like the doors ,

[@executiveE]

Nice music

[@Andreashofer3535]

@kev36able not only the voice ,, absolutely ...

[@yatah]

@Vredrocks So, let me start. The Doors had a well defined and elaborate sound coming primarily from Ray Manzarek's keyboards. Every song of the band had a clearly defined riff and progression. This song basically consists of a few notes played in a loop by the guitarist backed by the ramblings of the lead singer.

[@poptartcannibal]

PEOPLE SHUT UP. HE SOUNDS LIKE HIM! SO STOP COMPARING.

[@oscarchilpa]

excelente sigan asi!

[@gramoukdoom]

GOOD MUSIC EXISTS AND IS OUT THERE!!! LET'S GET FUCKING HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! CELEBRATION OF ART!!!!!!
