During the tour for this record they sucked, would stop the show and ask the crowd to stop moshing, threatening to play a 'Simon and Garfunkel' set. i saw them the touring manager sat on stage reading a book with a head lamp on. Previous tours were amazing, but by thin point you could tell they were done.
I went to see Coheed and cambria, and while I was walking up I heard Dredg playing, so I was excited. After that set I wasn't paying attention and next thing I know the blood Brothers just exploded on the stage. I was so f***ing stoked. I had no idea they were opening. I got the tickets for an old gf that loved coheed. It was during Crimes.
I grew up hanging and jamming with his older brother. Even at 14 Mark was a machine behind the kit. Wild. Precise. There’s no one in the world I’d rather have play on the little EP me and some buddies are working, 🤞🤞 we can make that work. Mark’s a great songwriter/producer too. Super musical guy all around.
Well, obviously you have a much smaller view of what Drummer can and can’t do because I know 20s drummers that will destroy this guy and there are millions that are better. He’s very good at what he does though
Frankly it's unbelievable they didn't blow up sky high in the mid 2000's. Maybe it was too much for folks to handle. Def my favorite late 90's-mid-2000's hardcore band. Saw them live so many times here in Seattle!
Me too man, I remember when they played the Showbox with These Arms are Snakes and Minus the Bear. I was also at the reunion show in 2014, they absolutely slayed...I got three old BB t-shirts and I wear em all the time.
Definitely too much for the norms. Music with high pitched screaming and noise will never gain a huge audience. Bands like The Hives were kind of the safe, glossed over version of this type of sass inspired hardcore.
The blood brothers are a progressive emo/ post hardcore band with elements of grind as well I believe .That being said many of the post hardcore bands of today sound don't sound original , and also abandoned their punk D.I.Y roots .
Nathan Douglas Mr Mark Gajadhar. He totally upended the scene in Seattle for drummers. No one could compare. His older brother Rudi is equally awesome, played in Waxwing and a buncha others. Still best Seattle drummer hands down imo
Such a great unique band! Like some other great bands of the 1st decade of the 21st century (The Fall of troy, Horse the band, Protest the Hero, etc.) suffering from the internet piracy and struggling to deliver the same quality of their sound live as on their records due to the complexity of their recorded material, disappeared from the face of music scene in the 2nd decade of 21 st century. A Goddamn Shame!
Wow. I found Young Machetes to be pretty tame in general, but this performance is the cat's pajamas. the bee's knees. the duck's nuts. I'm not surprised though, these guys are more than capable.
I give guest bands on shows til the chorus to judge. These guys made me sit up immediately. I played it over and over and over. Woke up & played it (DVR). Then found out they broke up.
Music is such an absolutely incredible phenomenon..in my early 20s a coworker at a collection agency introduced me to this band on break and out of respect for him and the subjectivity of musical taste I hid my disgust of how horrible I thought it was from him..now almost 10 yrs later I recently thanked him on FB for helping me to grow into a musical adult and mature what I ignorantly already thought was a pretty broad range of taste in style..today, a good 7 or 8 BB songs are absolute staples of my musical repertoire, especially when it comes to my thoughts on the highest of high quality live energy and stage presence..wish they were still slaying
Yes. I’m listening to them again after doing so 15 years ago, I liked them then but didn’t allow myself to really love them due to friends and other stupid reasons I would never consider today haha Anyway, point being- listening to them now- they are incredible.
@@kasmorgan6118 yea dude, like I've said before, when I go to a show I don't wanna see the same regurgitated act I wanna feel like I've been electrocuted but in a good way..and boy, these mad men are high tension 3-phase powerlines!..I also shout out to Ty Segall and the Freedom Band that I saw in Atlanta years ago at the Drunken Unicorn (dope venue) my God what a show they put on, highly recommend
haha I love it how the blond singer is all feminine, it's like a 10 year old girl with her new Sony Kareoke Star mic going nuts on speed, haha, very rock and roll :)
I am 56 years old and still listening to this... Amazing.. I saw Jaguar Love after .. Blood Brothers.. I keep it on heavy rotation.. Thanks for posting this video !!!
2004, junior year of high school, i ended up at the Meow Meow to see some bands i had never heard of... Blood Brothers headlined and i heard them play love rhymes, peacock skeleton... The rest is history
It's so fucking funny. This band is an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. They look like they're trying to be this new school emo shit band, and yet they play fast and deliberate hardcore. Fucking amazing.
The Mad Hattress keep in mind they got their start in like, 1996? It was long before skinny jeans were like, hip. These guys, at the drive in, and the locust really kinda originated that look. Before that whole counter culture DIY scene was re-appropriated maimed tamed and bastardized into what's out there now, it was pretty unique. Even this late in their career vid was from 11years ago.
good music to sit in a bus shelter and wait for your bus to come like the bus is ever going to come i may as well start walking instead of standing here being bored- good band to give up on your bus and start walking home music
How can you just sit there calling yourself a man when in fact, you were NEVER 17 years old cruising around town after the Blood Brothers show with that sexy little 90 lb scene chick with the black hair, porcelain skin and facial piercings and dyed green "landing strip"
@Mrstormfire1500 .... nom ames me isiste recordar ese ruido asqueroso al ver tu comentario u.u pinche pendejada no escribo mas pq estoy escuchando a esos ,, emm cruza de no se que con no se que que resulta homosexualidad auditiva?
@ReeseInSpace Although my comments may come across that way, i'm not trying to be pretentious. My apologies for detailed observation/opinion regardless of the song's intentions. I think an analogy would be appropriate: "I intended to trash my house. I have now trashed my house. Because i stated previously that i was going to trash my house, this makes my actions ok". I hope the irony doesn't escape you. Just because something intends to be something, doesn't mean it is.
@menikmati0 Right of course you are. Perhaps i should rephrase composition with music. Everything of course is opinion is it not? If one chose to murder someone out of the blue, but felt it justified then that is "right". But somehow, abstractly, we inherently understand that to be wrong. My opinion is not entirely synonymous with that of Cage in that "anything" may be "music". With regard to paplokey's comment, he seemed to pull others' "stupidity" out of the air by justifying invisible genius.
@D3C4P17473D Huh? Sorry, but simply "not catering to the masses" doesnt make something automatically "genius". (i'm saying this as someone who despises most mainstream) There are much worthier, equally lesser known, artists that do justice to the description of "genius". I mean, good on them but to label them as geniuses is overkill. "Fuckin awesome" is fine.(not what i feel on this piece, but still) And to ask someone to give a reason why they think something is brilliant is not stupid. FYI.
@fuZZmuFFiNs you're lucky there isn't a god, cause he/she would probably slap you for that last comment, haha jk. all tomfoolery aside, IMO the blood brothers were great and so was queen. i respect you're independent opinion, even though i don't agree with it.
@D3C4P17473D you said "only an a-hole wold ask that person to do so (give specific reasons to the brilliance of a song)". As for "there hasn't been a genius since freddy mercury", lol, i don't know what industry you're referring to but it isn't music.
@fuZZmuFFiNs i did not say they were geniuses for not catering to the masses. i said they were "great" and "wonderful". i did not say it was a stupid question. there hasn't been a genius in the music industry since freddy mercury
johnnyscifi such physicality! He's a super nice guy too. He (and his older brother Rudi) set the gold standard for Seattle drummers in the mid late 90's.

really fuckin good shit mad love for the blood brothers but those two singers need to man up a bit especially johnny flamin mad hard the other one needs a fuickin sandwich
@Chiquitadudep that is a shame you did not get to see them. although trust, their music is enough to punch you in the face without having to be in a pit.

these are just insane.
And thats a good thing.
He's from Connecticut, USA.
#areyouseriousbro
***** 2004 my friend Andy (RIP) introduced me to them...
I told him "they're shit".
10 years later.
I still think they're garbage.
***** well he does kinda have a point about that guy
***** what a doucher you are
yeap the 26 year old boomer in me is saying "I wish they still made music like this"
Head Wound City
SeeYouSpaceCowboy
some are still
Yeah are gone and nothing will ever sound like them tbh, people will try though
The 32 year old boomer in me is cringing that this was my favorite band
That bass tone probably rumbled the entire building. Holy fuck, I wish I could have seen this band live back in the day.
During the tour for this record they sucked, would stop the show and ask the crowd to stop moshing, threatening to play a 'Simon and Garfunkel' set. i saw them the touring manager sat on stage reading a book with a head lamp on.

I actually got to play with them once upon a time. They were really fucking good.
I went to see Coheed and cambria, and while I was walking up I heard Dredg playing, so I was excited. After that set I wasn't paying attention and next thing I know the blood Brothers just exploded on the stage. I was so f***ing stoked. I had no idea they were opening.

I hope you got tickets to their reunion
@@iainblr saw them on halloween in like 07, they all dressed up like chicago cops. can't wait to see them later this year.
How proud I would be to be in a band that Henry Rollins praised so hard. Too awesome
henry fucking gets it
1Muzition1 promoter af. check out what he says about Ween sometime
Even if you disagree stylistically the execution is simply brilliant.
you're spot on pal
absolutely
fuck yeah. blood brothers is an anomaly.
America's take on Melt Banana
it's beautiful. agreed re the execution
i've been saying it for years: mark gajadhar is the most talented drummer i've ever seen. he could go toe to toe with anybody.
same

@@williamperri3437millions? Get bent
Their drummer is mad good. This would be so hard to play perfectly live and he straight kills it
Agreed! Tremendous playing!
Played a show with these boys back in 2004 or 2005. Super nice to us, put on a killer show, and engaged with us multiple times.
What's your band
Frankly it's unbelievable they didn't blow up sky high in the mid 2000's. Maybe it was too much for folks to handle. Def my favorite late 90's-mid-2000's hardcore band. Saw them live so many times here in Seattle!
We opened for them and kane hodder a couple times in seattle. I've seen them probably the most out of any live band, haha.
Me too man, I remember when they played the Showbox with These Arms are Snakes and Minus the Bear. I was also at the reunion show in 2014, they absolutely slayed...I got three old BB t-shirts and I wear em all the time.
@@fathergetdown The double horse ones? Loved those
Brian Long At-the drive in beat them to it
Definitely too much for the norms. Music with high pitched screaming and noise will never gain a huge audience. Bands like The Hives were kind of the safe, glossed over version of this type of sass inspired hardcore.
holy fuck that energy
Totally would not expect Rollins to be into Blood Brothers, but I don't blame him.
Rollins likes Hivemind he picked up an lp in an episode of what's in my bag and i was so impressed.
guy picciotto (fugazi) produced young machetes
frenetic
The blood brothers are a progressive emo/ post hardcore band with elements of grind as well I believe .That being said many of the post hardcore bands of today sound don't sound original , and also abandoned their punk D.I.Y roots .
@@josephwright5140 surprised is prob a better word... to act like you are *impressed* by Henry , that's bold.
this fucking drummer dude
Nathan Douglas Mr Mark Gajadhar. He totally upended the scene in Seattle for drummers. No one could compare. His older brother Rudi is equally awesome, played in Waxwing and a buncha others.
Still best Seattle drummer hands down imo
If i were taking singing lessons, this band would make me stop taking singing lessons
Yeah! Ya don’t need em’!😁
mozart would've loved this.....
+Michael Goldberg perhaps

Goofballs
Wow. I found Young Machetes to be pretty tame in general, but this performance is the cat's pajamas. the bee's knees. the duck's nuts.
I'm not surprised though, these guys are more than capable.
2:14 is the best sound in music, hands down
Truth.
Start from 2:02
I fucking love when they do this type of drumming, they did this also on "Trash Flavored Trash" too I believe.
The fact that Henry Rollins likes these guys so much makes me love him more.
when this aired it was my introduction to Blood Brothers. So important to my development
i come back here every couple years or so to remember what heavy music is supposed to be
Brilliant!
this isn’t heavy, just chaotic
i was very fortunate to have seen the BBros 7 times. Best Performances by far.
Everytime I see this video: instantly goosebumps. Inevitable.
They suck. Big big time
Blood Brothers were insane because you expected to sound like a shitshow live but... they were fucking god tier and dare I say even better.
They’re unorthodox, similar to old school chiodos
Crazy to think this dude joined fleet foxes
who did :0
@@girlscoutxoxo bass player
No fucking way, that's crazy lol
Crazy but I also love Fleet Foxes so that probably means I'm crazy as well
This may be the singularly best video on all of UA-cam.
such underrated musicians. i love how they can mix "hardcore" and "groovy" so well.
I give guest bands on shows til the chorus to judge. These guys made me sit up immediately. I played it over and over and over. Woke up & played it (DVR). Then found out they broke up.
their back together! they will be playing at FYF fest in LA this year
I had this save on DVR and would literally watch it every morning before school

Same here. INSANE STUFF
haha I love it how the blond singer is all feminine, it's like a 10 year old girl with her new Sony Kareoke Star mic going nuts on speed, haha, very rock and roll :)
This performance is so intense...
One of the best live performances I have ever seen!
Wish i could have saw them live so much!
I wish something would grab hold of me again like this band did.
OK, now I get it. More than a decade late.
umm....yiss. wow. That was a thing. How am I just discovering this?
Look up their real old shit. Also look up circle takes the square
You must be millenial right?¿
THIS SHIT GOES HARD HAMBURGERS SON!!!
They pulled a reggaeton drum beat for the breakdown lol. Fucking genius! Miss these guys.
Haha I know right, that part is genius. It’s like a reggaeton beat but in a punk/post-hardcore style, so creative and amazing. The Blood Brothers rule
I consider crimes a fucking classic it's hard to get into anything else
Daemion Leyva burn piano island burn is pretty insane. And March of electric children.
Unforgettable performance. Thanks for keeping this alive.
I want to play drums just like this drummer,INSANE!
I can’t believe I just discovered how awesome this band is
better late than never
I am 56 years old and still listening to this... Amazing.. I saw Jaguar Love after .. Blood Brothers.. I keep it on heavy rotation.. Thanks for posting this video !!!
Just remembered this band--after a few years of not hearing them it sounds better than ever
miss these guys
Thank you. In the future they will be looked upon as master innovators and song-craftsmen. The new Mozarts and Miles Davises.
This might be the best fucking punk rock I've heard in 30 years.
that fucking drummer
I'm considering buying an FYF ticket just to see them. Used to listen to this album like every day back in high school.
Bass tabs for this should be interesting
I think everything works with them. The vocals just work off each other so well. Unique tune and what a mind blowing live performance.
STILL
I love this band so much!!! Since March On The Electric Children!
Goddamn that drummer rules.
Okay why did they cut off half of the god damn song?
somewhere in the US, theres a Hank walking into his garage yelling, NOW WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THIS DAMN RACKIT!
BORNT IN 86, THESE TIMES WERE JUST BETTER
becuase, TBB are so good that they still hold a spot in your head years and years later to the degree that you still look them up.
Johnny always reminded me of "Sick Boy" in Trainspotting
2004, junior year of high school, i ended up at the Meow Meow to see some bands i had never heard of... Blood Brothers headlined and i heard them play love rhymes, peacock skeleton... The rest is history
This is better than most metal outside doom, black and death.
My cousin!
Pure. Fire.
Fucking gold!

aw man johnny whitney i miss ya. blood brothers, neon blonde, jaguar love. So many good times ive had at these shows back in the day
They's my favs (set fire to the... everything's already on fire).
good music to sit in a bus shelter and wait for your bus to come like the bus is ever going to come i may as well start walking instead of standing here being bored- good band to give up on your bus and start walking home music
that fury!
Some of the hardest shows I have ever been a part of. Pretty sure I almost died once at a tiny venue with maybe 50 people in the audience.
How can you just sit there calling yourself a man when in fact, you were NEVER 17 years old cruising around town after the Blood Brothers show with that sexy little 90 lb scene chick with the black hair, porcelain skin and facial piercings and dyed green "landing strip"
Is Morgan playing a Bass VI or just a guitar? That's so odd to me but I fucking love The Blood Brothers so no really biggie.
one of the most insane perfomances of all time
This show shaped my musical taste in so many ways in the mid 2000s.
Once a month.

@MaharlikaAWA i think Henry's open minded in music. Calling him a tough guy and Blood Brothers effeminate may sound so ignorant.

These guys sound like Terrance and Phillip's hardcore band.
At least 100K of these views are mine
so good! trying to see them at fyf but they are also playing fun fun fun
2018 still a great band.
@strangebirdsir Octave pedal of some description at a guess. Can't get a good look at his pedalboard.
Is Morgan playing a Bass VI here? Or is that a baritone guitar?
