Agreed. Not very common. I can think of one I love though. A massive crowd in Rio singing along to Rush's YYZ, and it's an instrumental. It blew me away how into they were. All hopping in unison as well. It's on UA-cam somewhere.
This is one of those moments at a festival when you don’t know the band but you hear this and go “what the fuck is this” then stay for the rest of the set
Absolute beast. i was there.It was 2011 and japan had been shook. Everyone wanted to let go of all that had happened that year. We came to Fuji Rock to let go and battles brought it
I remember that my elementary teacher show the class the music video in 2006 and I haven't heard it since today I was looking for it for like past 4 years and I tear up bc it brings me back so many memories when I was in elementary and know I'm 18 years old

As a percussionist myself, I can surely say that the drum set-up here is absurdly impractical. But I think that is actually the point. Heh. Some real talent going on here.
It's no weirder than Alex Van Halen and his half a dozen bass drums! You should hear the guy's playing on the rest of the Battles album. Very simple, but some of it is way outta left field and some of the monstrous 32nd note rolls he pulls out...savage.

If you listen to the studio recording of this song and read the lyrics at the same time you can't believe he's actually saying some of the supposed words.
Lyrics: ( or as i call them the chant of the century) People wont be people when they hear this sound thats been glowing in the dark at the edge of town. People wont be people, no the people wont be people when they hear this sound wont you show me what begins at the edge of town?? Singer is a crook woaheyywoah Kitchen is the cook woaheyywoah Scissors are the barbers woaheyywoah A chorus full of actorssss
They look like three upper middle class dads from the suburbs that met at Spin class and decided to start a weird experimental rock band after running into each other on the weekend at the local Whole Foods and chatting for a couple hours about PowerPoint presentations, adjustable-rate mortgages, and tax breaks from charitable giving.
For all Battles newbies out there, this is the 3-piece version of the band following the 2010 departure by head honcho Tyondai Braxton. They are now operating as a 2- piece and I was due to go and see them play in my home city of Leicester, but then came Covid-19. :-((
+tostare I've seem them twice at Roskilde Festival. The first time was the reason I got into them (I didn't know them at all before hand) and why I showed up the second, which was good too.
I read that some people think the guitarist never uses his guitar. Look closer. He is playing guitar, He's just never picking the snares. It's possible to play that way with one hand.
@SebAGITATED I agree on some level, but Tyondai kind of left them holding the bag when he left. The 3 piece is an exercise in triumph over adversity. They are doing a great job making lemonade with the lemons Tyondai handed them.
you're certainly not wrong, thats a great performance. But I guess its just a personal preference thing, and also just a musical decision they made. Battles being Battles I'm sure they had a lot of different ideas for what to do with Atlas, and just ended up going for this one, which I certainly appreciate, but fair enough if you miss Braxton's vocals, they were certainly awesome!
LOVE how the crowd cheer every change/progression in the song - I don't think I've come across that to this level before
I was noticing that myself. That said, it's one helluva performance.
The crowd really were there for music and music alone. Hiromi plays this fest and they cheer every possible bit of exciting turn in her music too.
Agreed. Not very common. I can think of one I love though. A massive crowd in Rio singing along to Rush's YYZ, and it's an instrumental. It blew me away how into they were. All hopping in unison as well. It's on UA-cam somewhere.
when i'm 40 and have a midlifecrisis, this is the kind of music i wanna make with some buddy's in a garage.
I hope you can do better.
You’re gonna have to wait another 10 years, I checked your lab results
haha I'm already way past 40 and enjoying this sans any midlife crisis hahaha
I can be your buddy.
@Gus Vincenzo Yep, both of the accounts made 6 days ago seem to be in mutual agreement. Instagram is crumbling to pieces as we speak.
nice try tho :)
This is one of those moments at a festival when you don’t know the band but you hear this and go “what the fuck is this” then stay for the rest of the set
Bonnaroo 2008
My favorite song from Little Big Planet. Oh, and I've loved Helmet since i was a teenager in the 90's. Jon Stainer is one of my favorite drummers.
Stanier IS a genius. From Helmet to Battles, everything he does is hardcore.
Discovering Battles has got me through the lock down.
Welcome.
Wild, same thing here. Just found em last week and I can't get enough!
This song is my childhood
They played Boiler Room Camden London just before the lock down.Tiny venue,it would have been amazing. Gutted to have not discovered them before that.
Same
I love how John just puts his head down and plows through it like a boss. So much fucking stamina!
I'm sore just watching him lol
Absolute beast. i was there.It was 2011 and japan had been shook. Everyone wanted to let go of all that had happened that year. We came to Fuji Rock to let go and battles brought it
Japanese crowds can keep time with claps holy shit
Marcus Dembinski Because they listen to the sound of one hand clapping!!!
+Marcus Dembinski In my experience it is ONLY white americans that clap on 1 & 3. Everyone else does 2 & 4 (which is obviously the right way to go)
+tostare i always clap in polyrhythms.
:D
+tostare Hahahaha, I've never noticed that! Rugged U.S. individualism, I suppose.
accurate
The most astounding and innovative music I have heard in many years.
Without exclamation marks - for emphasis.
Hey can I steal that last line?
Don't know for what. Maybe a song.
If it's for a song, yes...but credit me. Ha! :-P
That's how I felt when I first heard them.
You might like Cardiacs
wow
I'm always blown away by how much of this song on guitar is just him playing hammer-ons, while he plays the keyboard with his picking hand.
This is like a experimental rock dj set. So much groove. So danceable.
"Atlas" is a fantastic song, and this is one absolutely incredible live version of it. Wow!
初めて見たけど、髭の人の印象が強すぎる。この曲が最大のヒット曲なのか？3日連続で見ている。やめられない。Brilliant! Really! They played great.
thats the highest damn cymbal I've ever seen a drummer use
It’s because the dummer thinks that people use cymbals too much in music so has it that high so he’s not tempted to use it that much.
Aimee W
With the added bonus of it looking cool as hell!
He has a close low setup to use that cymbal is to release the cramp
@@kodysqaud3016 that's a lie. It helps with his back problems.
4:44 - 4:54 was so insane stuff, i would have never imagined a loop like that ever
Then awesome build
After having the week from hell this is the first thing to put a smile on my face ...
stunning live sound. 21st century classic.
the drummer is a human metronome, amazing!
Today was my first time listening this song, and I think I need a Psychiatrist. I can't get this out of my head.
Have you gotten the song out of your head yet?
NOR SHOULD YOU ... KEEP IT IN THERE.
I remember that my elementary teacher show the class the music video in 2006 and I haven't heard it since today I was looking for it for like past 4 years and I tear up bc it brings me back so many memories when I was in elementary and know I'm 18 years old
Andrew Arellano This wasn’t even released in 2006 though?
Muy muy pocas veces se me hace la piel de gallina con versiones en vivo y está ha sido de las que más me ha emocionado hasta ganas de llorar tengo (?)
Is that the best drummer helmet ever had?
the guy from Betty?
I swear its him. That guy was so hip hop and bad ass.
He made that album...
That Is him
Yes, it's him. The man.
the greatest, John Stanier

As a percussionist myself, I can surely say that the drum set-up here is absurdly impractical. But I think that is actually the point. Heh.
Some real talent going on here.
He wanted his cymbal far away so he wouldn't use it too much, and also to look interesting
It's no weirder than Alex Van Halen and his half a dozen bass drums! You should hear the guy's playing on the rest of the Battles album. Very simple, but some of it is way outta left field and some of the monstrous 32nd note rolls he pulls out...savage.
I think we're all forgetting John played drum for Helmet in their creative peak
@@TheZooropaBaby No, we know exactly who he is thanks.
This is fantastic. I just wish there was a live version with Tyondai that had this great sound quality.
battles makes you invincible.

You forgot the line “the chorus doesn’t matter” that comes after “the kitchen has a cook, oh way oh” bit
I've been singing this incredibly wrong for almost 10 years now
It's crazy hearing this song live!!
The lyrics, hand them over.
"people won't be people when they hear this sound that's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town"
@communist scum It takes 5 seconds to Google them. 😂
If you listen to the studio recording of this song and read the lyrics at the same time you can't believe he's actually saying some of the supposed words.
The lyrics, Dahnald, hand them over
got chills when the vocals kicked back in after the breakdown
That energy. So alive!
Stanier is a beast.
He really is a skin beater extraordinaire!
*cough cough *LITTLE BIG PLANET
BLIZZ2012 hell yea
YES
Is it bad that I discovered Battles via LBP? :P
@@OscarinofTime it was the same for me
$&#&×
Para escuchar una y otra vez...
I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU to anyone was there. You were magnificent.
ほんと、カッコいい
I so adore this band. Was lucky enough to see them in a small joint in New York shortly after EP-C came out. So much fun to watch.
カッコいいぜ👍
masters of rhythm
Brilliant. I wish I was there.

Damn, they rocked this festival...
The drummer is so cray
来年来るんですよね、知ってますよ
Still waiting for Battles and Silversun Pickups to go on tour and have a “Cymbal Off”
I’d pay $1000 to see that happen.
Come visit to Japan this summer because battles will perform in Fuji Rock '16 and play this again!!
Can't, no money!
Oh boy! They've also added a little bit of harsh music at the beginning of the track... marvellous!
They look like three upper middle class dads from the suburbs that met at Spin class and decided to start a weird experimental rock band after running into each other on the weekend at the local Whole Foods and chatting for a couple hours about PowerPoint presentations, adjustable-rate mortgages, and tax breaks from charitable giving.
AsTheSeasonsGray no, Stanier's played with plenty of other people. Mike Patton for one, they're just very talented dudes
thats a bit specific
i love this comment lmao
maybe so, but they deliver the goods, in spades.
Modern humour everybody. Cringy isn't it.
Every time I hear this song, I start dancing like Ian Williams
Even though Tyondai is now gone, they performed very well.
i was working and this song started playing randomly on spotify, is so catchy.
最高過ぎる！オーエーオー！
that drummer man......endurance is insane
ニューヨーカーがロックで沖縄のエイサーを表現したらこんな曲になったみたいな素晴らしくノリの良い最高の曲
The combination of his mustache and his dancing makes me uncomfortable. I think I like it.
The drummer is amazing
an instance of a song where they do need to be doing allat
Beautiful playing. Love ya :D From Aussie.
STANIER!!!!!!!
Q: How do you dance to math rock?
A: In a calculated way
7:25 Stanier looked so happy that that drum break was coming up.
clear lyrics this time.
Great memories!
The Ian's mostacho gave that energy!!!!
Little Big Planet in my heart
Right❤❤❤
Awesome performance.
Still watching this.
Absolutely epic
For all Battles newbies out there, this is the 3-piece version of the band following the 2010 departure by head honcho Tyondai Braxton. They are now operating as a 2- piece and I was due to go and see them play in my home city of Leicester, but then came Covid-19. :-((
That was fucking awesome. Literally awesome.
Interesting to watch them perform live. I dig it
If you ever get a chance to go to one of their gigs, go for it. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen
how they regained epicness at 6:30 is beyond me, for such a long song. great band
Stunning..
John "Ya didn't think I could reach that cymbal did ya?" Stanier
I've seen Battles twice (both at festivals) and both times they spent half their allotted time trying to get their gear working :(
+tostare I've seem them twice at Roskilde Festival. The first time was the reason I got into them (I didn't know them at all before hand) and why I showed up the second, which was good too.
This an awesome version.
Meilleure version que celle figurant sur l'album.
danssescheveux 60circuits c est vrai
This is so fucking siiiickk!!!!
still love it!!
The drummer's going to explode
I read that some people think the guitarist never uses his guitar.
Look closer. He is playing guitar, He's just never picking the snares.
It's possible to play that way with one hand.
The sound of this live performance is amazing btw.
Just a kibd of tapping
Yes, it's possible with the right playing techniques, tools, sensibility, guitar sustain and pedals effects. For the rest is just tapping.
fuck, this is the best version of Atlas live i ever heard, do you have another videos from this show???
@SebAGITATED I agree on some level, but Tyondai kind of left them holding the bag when he left. The 3 piece is an exercise in triumph over adversity. They are doing a great job making lemonade with the lemons Tyondai handed them.
Japan loves Battles from day one.
Fantastic!!!!
ian williams is my spirit animal
Beginning sounds like summer time clothes by animal collective :)
Or Suzie Quatro. Or Sweet. Or T-Rex.
I love this song to play with my drums
Superb. XO
カッコイイ！メロディーも独特で面白い☆「ピポパピ」っていいなぁ～笑
Stanier is a fucking beast man
you're certainly not wrong, thats a great performance. But I guess its just a personal preference thing, and also just a musical decision they made. Battles being Battles I'm sure they had a lot of different ideas for what to do with Atlas, and just ended up going for this one, which I certainly appreciate, but fair enough if you miss Braxton's vocals, they were certainly awesome!
So much epic.
Evil will be evil when they hear this sound.
Great. Stay clean, H.M.
+Hans Moser People won`t be people, it means people won`t be evil when they hear this sound.
Yes, thats correct.
SC, H.M.
Battles Rock's🤘
wow!
What about 3:04 ? Pull offs with one hand and playing keyboard on other hand . Like a boss :-)
I've heard a mashup of those two! It worked really well!
their amp setup on this gig is killer holy shit
the guitar-keyboard look.remember me at the keyboardist of the moody blues mike pinder
こないだのライブすんげー良かったゾ、師匠と回ってたやつ、梅クアで最前列ですんごい興奮
