I love Stanier more than anything else about this band, but I do agree that they are incredible. The back-and-forth opening to Futura is one of my favorite things right now.
is a simbol on how listeinign to such an awsome band instantly makes you get high even if you are not consuming any drugs. Battles is drugs to the ears
Just because it fits in its entirety doesnt necessarily mean its in 4/4. Just like I could play 3 measures of 4/4, or 4 measures of 3/4, and its the same thing... But youre right, it is in 4/4, hah....
Why in the fuck this band is not getting the recognition they deserve from the public? I mean, really!!.... The first time I saw them waaay back then (six years ago) here in NYC, I predicted they were gonna be huge in three, four years tops...what happened? does anybody listen good music anymore? I can't wait for their next album...
@athoughtcomes I said "the public". I know that anybody who knows at least a little bit about good music had them in their lists two years ago, but that didn't translate into anything. Let's say for example, if they were to play tomorrow here in New York City, they wouldn't be playing at the Madison Squire Garden, not even at Radio City Hall nor at the Beacon Theatre, but at the Roseland.
the cymbal is so high b/c when they first started rehearsing, the drummer had a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder. turns out it was easier for him to hit the cymbal way up there than just in front of him.
@vivelavidarocka what are you talking about? Mirrored was on everyone's top-ten list, and everyone who's anyone's on their collective jock. They're huge.
How come in every battles video all that anyone talks about is the drummer and his cymbal? Yes he is amazing. Yes his crash cymbal is high. Get over it. The guitar/synth stuff that's going on is at least as incredible if not more so!
@Jd4eva626 He didn't say he was the best, just that it's his favorite. Also, there are plenty of better drummers, technically and musically, than Gavin. But stylistically, John Stanier is pretty neato.
maybe he's making the point that they are all making life very difficult for themselves by using ridiculous equipment and strange time sigs/harmonies/rhythms. I think its an ironic joke. This performance made me dribble.
It's like 3 guitars having a
conversation. [100000000000]
after seeing this video, i discovered that i love this band even more, now.
you can tell they really enjoy playing their music, i like that in a band. plus they groooove.
This song has so much groove its unbelievable.
i really hope i get to see this band live sometime soon
Alot of energy! :)

This band is just insane.
so good live.
amazing.
O...M...G! Really...there are no words for this...
Holy Crap that was effing AWESOME! I love these guys!
when i saw them this summer, i was terrified for the bass intro because it sounds like an apocalypse is coming or something similar... who agree?

Battles is drugs to the ears
Perhaps not the highest quality of video or audio, but GODDAMN is this band awesome.
Very good! Congrats Battles!! ;)

Thank you :D

I ask myself the same thing. Shellac have behind the drum a set a ride high as this with a mic to capture some natural reverbs- Here I wonder why
Oh my goodness. How good is Race Out?
Way too good
fucking incredible. Stanier is my favourite drummer ever!
Stanier is tighter than a drum machine.
In one word: Hyperincrediblyfuckingawesome!
the cymbal is so high b/c when they first started rehearsing, the drummer had a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder. turns out it was easier for him to hit the cymbal way up there than just in front of him.
@teegemagic Nope, I also mean the EP C / B EP, which may be two old EPs combined but still makes for a 12 track album when put together.
John Stanier is a real beast of a man!
@vivelavidarocka what are you talking about? Mirrored was on everyone's top-ten list, and everyone who's anyone's on their collective jock. They're huge.
john stanier is the whole blue man group
in one killer!
Stanier in beast mode.
What's the time signature for the second song?
@teegemagic EP C / B EP is technically an album.
i love gabe
Yes, he is. I am a music major. I know how to count. He just accents the upbeats a lot.
Try counting 1, 2, 3, 4 for the entirety of Tij. Trust me.
Correct answer. Ten points!
How come in every battles video all that anyone talks about is the drummer and his cymbal? Yes he is amazing. Yes his crash cymbal is high. Get over it. The guitar/synth stuff that's going on is at least as incredible if not more so!
this.is.fucking.unreal.
it's my favoree.
@ntimkovich that's incorrect.
Hey every one spelled Stanier right
Nah, there's no way Stanier's at 4/4 for the whole of that
@captainanomaly Drummers like Stanier inspire me to be a better guitarist. That's how awesome he is.
@TheWezel1995 I watched in an interview that he put it up so high for their first show as a joke. And then it just kind of stuck around.
@Jd4eva626 He didn't say he was the best, just that it's his favorite. Also, there are plenty of better drummers, technically and musically, than Gavin. But stylistically, John Stanier is pretty neato.
stanier has played with high cymbals for years even with mark of cain.
like,yeah,totally. nice one
HEEEEERREEESS JOHNNY!!!!
@matthewm9859
the stand got stuck. :P
no it's not stupid.
it's different from the norm.which is...cool~
why is that cymbal so high?
4/4, genius
fucking sick
DEAR GOD
that was a joke he told for the london paper
check out lightning bolt for good druming
Given the laws of probability, wouldn't it be stranger if the cymbal wasn't that high?
I'm guessing that if you don't do acid or eat shrooms that this music won't be enjoyed.
I'm not on acid or shrooms.

@captainanomaly
gavin harrisson is better in my opinion
