Chon - "Perfect Pillow" | Rooftop Riots

[@user-wm8cc5ym7y]

Chons either one of the cleanest or the cleanest band I've ever seen

[@phatninja1]

wait till u see them live :/

[@nathannguyen1886]

Jeebus Crust Still clean af live. Idk what you were listening to but it wasn’t chon

[@phatninja1]

Nathan Nguyen when they’re on tour they’re just not as on it. Like don’t get me wrong Mario and Eric are some of best guitarists in their generation, if not of all time, but their stuff is just impossible to play super clean every time they do it. Maybe I caught them on an off day but when I saw them live it was like 7/10 cleanliness

[@nathannguyen1886]

Jeebus Crust Oh ok i thought you were just hating lol. Yeah their stuff is really hard but most of the time they still play it pretty clean. And yeah maybe you did catch them on an off day. We all have those.

[@phatninja1]

Nathan Nguyen nahh no hate, I love chon lmao

[@jasonmartin9142]

Can we just take a second to appreciate how sexy that snare sounds🤙

[@tylerstauffer3818]

Yes

[@bikingintokyo]

Shoutout to the guy/s shouting woo at 2:09

[@user-wm8cc5ym7y]

LOL I almost missed that

[@minimoogle3335]

He represents us hahaha

[@SketchHannon]

Those pinch harmonics he added at 1:46 😍

[@karlikot]

I discovered CHON and Polyphia in the same year which was 2014. and I never stopped listening to whatever these 2 bands come up with.

[@sporadikos6879]

Erick's solo is so spine chilling, I freaking love it.

[@vuha5000]

And it is a felony that he uses that clean of a tone for that :D still slaying all the notes

[@jonetsu_lv]

the permutation of eric’s solo at 2:33 is so tasty, it’s honestly insane.

[@ayyyraul]

still my favourite song of all time

[@CodificArt]

I miss the time when I first heard CHON. They are amazing

[@Shitockiful]

I don't, because I am still listening to chon today! Keep breathing brethren

[@nungsangmonster5594]

Still sad they cancelled Delhi show. Was so excited to see them live :(

[@luxuriousfir]

Chons got the feel good vibes. Brilliant performance

[@XoPOOKIEoX]

1st time listening and I love them

[@allyemeraart]

god damn i love these live shows that have a transparent mixing style, i love this kind of music when it's not all computerised.

[@NicolasLaucirica]

bro it sounded soo good

[@leltraco1983]

How many times signature you will use? Chon: yes

[@PierceAkers]

Lmao it’s funny, this song is in 4/4 till after Erick’s first solo (that part is in 6/4)

[@elduderino3995]

But Chon really aren't known for their rythmic complexity tho xD

[@obnoxious2909]

​@@PierceAkers not really though. The intro is 4/4. Ericks Solo is 3/4. The bridge section is switching between 7/8 and 4/4 and then they have some odd grouping stuff towards the second half of the bridge (especially with the changed drum groove in this video.)

[@Kaonashimusic]

Most of chon songs is in 4/4 , most of the time they just like to mess with the rhythms

[@caioandrade2899]

some 6/8, 7/8 and 4/4 are all time signatures in the song.

[@jonathansierra246]

Nathan’s drumming are goals 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🥵

[@ayyyraul]

i just realized i Saw that small Camarena brother (drummer) grow for actually 10 years... this is beautiful. thank u for being u with me thru half of my Life CHON 💔

[@rjdillinger1015]

This is gold! Chon is number one. Erics solo is amazing!

[@jonipradhan239]

Wooooooo

[@gerardillo007]

In the background , all guest of Roosevelt Hotel listen a song called Pillow Perfect

[@morganmanesh5142]

They have so much control!!

[@ctal615]

Amazing performance by Chon. This audio needs a proper mix.

[@albinsimon7613]

love this mix tho....aint raw and not yet polished

[@FloridaSprings12]

I like the mix... it’s refreshing to hear the bass and drums so clearly

[@jalenGuy]

@@FloridaSprings12 cant hear the toms well

[@MTYoungPercussion]

Lmao you can tell this was mixed by a bassist

[@FloridaSprings12]

@@MTYoungPercussion lol but tbh chon basslines deserve some spotlight

[@zagadape109]

[@heloizad]

SOOO satisfying! Amazing song, keep it up guys! we need you!

[@matheusevaristo2171]

That was like really freaking awesome woww! Like dude, I remember watching the live stream of you guys on audiotree! The drummer was so young and already very impressive, very good to see him now looking so confident and decisive. You guys are just too much, keep on being special pls

[@diegowagnerpio9958]

Versão incrível! Meu grupo predileto!

[@LouWil]

That snare!

[@illitero]

I've heard of ghost notes, but Nathan is taking it to a whole new level with the mismatched audio and video from different takes.

[@taypkaz]

Never noticed it before reading this comment. I'm too focused on the guitars

[@SgtSpiesCorner]

1:50 - 2:24 the way they play together is so good

[@Trepanation_]

MAGIC !

[@thaedleinad]

Daaamn, this live version reminds of the old demo of this song that had some pretty nice drums.

[@omarcantu8306]

Perfect

[@justinmurray8920]

Pillow

[@sean6506]

I NEED there to be more songs/video from this set

[@ChonBonham]

Damn That snare though!

[@bijikedelai]

oh boy finally, but i always wish Nathan used the album version for the "woo" part

Woo

[@TheAntarcticaProject]

[@Void_Astrea]

Something about Erick's solos always get me. I think its because they always sound like hes trying to speak.

[@tylerstauffer3818]

That snare drum

[@jordanashford7521]

You guys should really do a collaboration with Andrew Martin from Moon Honey. He's a buddy of mine from years ago and I think it'd be pretty sweet to hear something with yall.

Drew is the second actually. This is their first bassist, he rejoined. But if you are talking about the energetic guy then yes, he left

[@vonbeaver99]

Chon? More like Chad ❤

Its like Dream Theater had a little kid brother band that's now grown up and turned out to be pretty dang talented too.

Bruh the chon guys have way more talent than dt sorry lol

[@TofuBug24]

@@e1iseo that's my point it's the kinder gentler version of Dream Theater

[@TofuBug24]

@@e1iseo you're kidding right? Petrucci ALONE has more technical prowes than this entire band! That's not to say this band isn't really freaking good because they're a baby band compared to Dream Theater see me in 2 decades and see where CHON is technically and more importantly how they've evolved. right now CHON has some serious technical chops but so far everything I've heard just reminds me of a jam band like Dave Matthew's Band and frankly there's nothing special about that. If you got some suggestions of songs of theirs that jumps out of that beach jam band sound I'd love to listen to it. I've really enjoyed what I've heard so far but I'm looking for something from them with a little more teeth even if its just the occasional song that deviates from their usuall fair

[@Anaddictspeaks]

Lmao dream theater???? 😂😂😂

[@OlNineToes]

NGL kinda miss the energy one of their old bassist brought to the band. The guys playing guitar gotta focus, so he was always out there bouncing around and grooving.

[@elsernall8732]

I gotta disagree bro. He looked kinda dumb to me but more importantly his playing was just hitting the root notes of what the guitars were doing. I think a session bassist records all of their new stuff and this guy just performs but the dynamics got way better.

[@JohnKordyback]

@@elsernall8732 Yeah, agreed, this is the 3rd Camarena brother and it's leagues beyond what Drew ever did for their sound as their old bassist.

[@SteezyTeej]

@@elsernall8732 his energy he brought was a vibe, but he also didnt know how to play the bass. Erick and mario would write the bass parts, then teach it to drew. But now the 3rd camarena bro is an actual player

@@SteezyTeej wait. Did chon actually say that?

[@james__..]

0:32 out of sync drums

​@@nostalgiajunkie Sorry, that's not what I meant. hahahahah. what I wanted to say is that the video and audio are out of sync. as you can see in the drums.

[@alanraymundo]

Chon makes me wanna pick up the guitar, study it for 6 lifetimes and emerge out of there only having half the skill they have... but enjoying my progress anyways.

[@buboyasilo2992]

Man, so many mistakes from Esiah here, but still great :)

[@Mabdog3597]

Was this just a fill-in bass player I see this was them jamming back in 2018 cause that is not what there bass player/vocalist looks like at all haha. He is quite the character is you've watched their other live performance. Still can't believe I've skipped out on seeing them twice now.....

[@levijackson5632]

Saw them in brisbane about 4-5 weeks ago same bass player

[@nungsangmonster5594]

That was drew who used to sing and play bass. This one is Esiah

[@zacharykloeb9761]

yeah, they used to have Drew who would do vocals, but wasn't the best bassist (though he definitely was good). They parted ways with Drew and now have Esiah Camarena who is brothers to the drummer (Nathan) and guitarist (Mario). Erick has basically just become part of the Camarena family at this point.

[@kernelxsanders]

I see the microphones, so why is the performance mimed? Chon should know better than that

[@olliebonugli8881]

It’s not mimed

[@kernelxsanders]

@@olliebonugli8881 Yes it is, you can tell if you pay attention. 0:33 the fills don't match

[@KrAzYKaRLoS1013]

why does the bass have to always sound like dog poop! not the playing but the damn mix!

[@octogrim6606]

1:35 drums are super out of sync with everything. As a drummer trying to learn some of the chops, this is infuriating 🖤 still tasty though! 🤘🏻

[@goopyC]

yeah you can see him itch his face then he gets out of sync. we've all been there.

[@nostalgiajunkie]

Na he does it every live performance, they’re cutting off a beat of the rhythm while keeping the melody the same. He picks up the lost beat on the crash

[@JohnKordyback]

polyrhythms dude..

[@nicolashunter4131]

these little gallagher of math rock always changing the bassist,come on guys,that says a lot,i think you are great musicians but really bad people

[@matheusevaristo2171]

Wtf dude, have you ever tried to have a band? This kind of thing isn't unusual at all. I could say maybe all bands have 1-3 members that are really essentials in the structure of a group, the dynamics may vary but there is no way all members are irreplaceable. Life just happens and we sometimes can't keep the same people in our lives. Also I'm drunk rn so don't take it too serious, peace.

[@gilbertolopez7690]

él era el primer bajista, hermano Camarena también. Aunque creo que el bajista anterior daba más vibra y ejecutaba mejor.
