Some of that bass is almost as low as my parent’s expectations for me.
Ha ha ha! Best comment for a while!
Well, that is low, isn't it? It's quite low.
👌🏻🤣
The hell hahahaha🤣🤣🤣
@@1death39 It's lower than a petrified shit dropped over the Mariana's Trench.
Ahh, my favourite genre of metal music, Busycore.
We might have to steal that
Aren't you too busy to ?
im on smoko. leave me alone....
bunglecore
Benjamin Rousselle dont make them start the arse kicking competition
So the first minute and a half was just a documentary on daily life in Australia, right?
trufax
fair dinkum
there dressed up how people think aussies are
+Eric Morana more like hipsters
+Justin long You've never been to Western Sydney.
i do love the comedy element here but i also think on a technical level this band is incredibly underrated
Extremelyyyyyyyy underrated
I loved this the first time I heard it. They are rated correctly in my book
This should be the opening line of the Australian national anthem
You think?
as a new lover of this band !who was underrating them? all i can hear is a beautiful wall of sound that must be fucking un nerving for any music critique!! this tune is mental !
Me : *sees the link to skip intro*
Why would you want to skip this piece of art
Lead singer held the door for his band mates.
Good job by him
I love this band! Breaks out of the box and do like that they're jokesters.
Nah. They all made this possible.
@@juzkigginit missed the joke mate...
@@DystopianApocalypse i thought it was a figure of speech with two meanings
well it's not like the singer's going be carrying any of the gear. it's the least he can do
Just found this band and I'm heartbroken they have broken up. I can't stop listening to their albums!! They're also hilarious! I'm grateful for the music they have put out.
They didn’t break up. The vocalist just left.
Yeah, they're just in hiatus with Kin, the vocalist, in the departure lounge. That's all. He'll be a very hard man to replace. But then, ACDC managed to replace Bon Scott. Unthinkable.
@@mjcussen7458 I feel like mike patton should join the band 😅
@@Ocidad That could be a very progressive move for TFN. Get a petition going! TFN should give him a call.
@@mjcussen7458 A replacement is just that , a replacement. A turd can replace a diamond. Bon Scott was Bon Scott. Brian Johnson was a replacement that started the era of commercialized AC/DC. I'm no big AC/DC fan but Bon Scott was Bon Scott, vocalist of the pure AC/DC. The band just had to stay all Aussie when they should have considered Jessie James Decker. Now that would have been MF Epic.
I'll know I've found my soulmate in life when I ask them how busy they've been and they give a correct answer
🤣🤣
YES!
The plug-in-to-the-belt-amp gag is the best part of the intro.
I agree. And I dig that avatar you got there buddy. Tool's pretty busy lately, yeah?
@@freshpeeshes9899 Spiral on brothas
Agreed. And shark-tar is pretty off the hook. Haha
Agreed
Zach Rice was pmsl thinking about my cousin who used to come back home pissed, and you could hear the key bounce around the outside edges as he tried to get it in the lock....
Intro going to be everyone back at work after corona
Have you been busy mate?
Im trying to be like Shane but ive really been like Rohan
Omg true
Fucking brilliant
For fucking real my guy
This is still one of my absolute favorite music videos from start to finish
Mine too @Spyder_V... But I confess that I use the skip link more and more.
So fing good. I’m posting this after my 20th listen ! ( prob not true, might be 30 how would I know)
Why am I just now discovering this band? I mean... that Bass is a delicious Carne asada burrito, those guitars are lightning and thunder, that drum is a dragon's heartbeat and those vocals are a ear tacos. I haven't heard a song this delicious in forever!
The algorithm brother. It blesses. It conceals. It algorithmes'es... ses
Breathe! BREATHE! Embrace the powerful tacos!
Because you've been busy
Mate
The rhythms of algor barely led me to this masterpiece, so at least you discovered them a year ago 🤷♀️
Music hasn’t even started and I’m already in love.
Edit: Holy fuck they can play too.
I'm just waiting for Weird Al to make "One Ham Grilling".
I HOPE HE KNOWS ABOUT THESE GUYS
This deserves all the upvotes
This comment is as criminally underrated as Twelve Foot Ninja themselves.
He has to do the intro too, if you're going to do the job, do it right
Only one issue i see with this...and i know Weird Al would spot it too......Hams are usually Baked.
Everyone's minds so blown by how amazing this song is that nobody in the comments is addressing wtf is going on in the last fifteen seconds of this video.
Truth
So true
Seeeveeennn daaaaaayyyysssss
That's called a lounge keyboard solo
@@mtravis3184 A dead Bee talking to a fly, A brick being fingered, someone rummaging through metal utensils...pretty sure none of that constitutes a lounge keyboard solo.
This song is completely ridiculous, but also a genuine masterpiece.
Just getting to this video in 2019, cuz I've been busy.
Cody. You’ve been busy have ya?
How busy have you been, mate??
@@stoopiddub333 I've been as busy as a blowfly at a BBQ
@@cowboy41231
Ooooooo, that is quite busy!
@@stoopiddub333 been busier than tony during a cocaine binge
Gotta love a band that doesn't take itself too seriously. This is solid gold.
try allegeon
I just about died of laughter at the look on the guys face while the other plugged the cord in...
Check out Red Fang too.... they're hilarious af
they do take themselves seriously. they are just liberal with their musical flex
Iwrestledabearonce and nekrogoblikon make hella funny vids too
I love the Faith no More vibe updated to nowadays metal standards.
Congrats to the band.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one to pick up on major Mike Patton vibes
Exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if Patton would "parody" them like he did RHCP for "stealing" his vibe back in the day? XD
I have no idea what is happening, but I like it. 🤣
Whoever thought about taping over the M on that Marshall amp deserves a medal
That had me fucking dying hahaha
Should've taped over the L's.
I'm fairly sure it was Stevic.. and I gave him that amp for Christmas one year!
I just noticed that, classic!
Deserves a metal
4:48 He had his "ohhs" on a peice of paper for timing! Priceless
Why did it take so long for me to discover this band and this song??? Hands down the best metal song of all time in terms of structural complexity, instrument playing skills, vocals, and engineering. Rarely are musicians so accomplished in multiple playing styles that they can fuse together pounding metal riffs with melodic jazz and pull it off the way TFN does in this song. On top of that they meld their unique, incomparable musical style with an open and unafraid sense of humor that makes their videos so wildly entertaining. They should have twice as many followers, but I guess many new fans are still waiting to discover them late as I did. Unquestionably awesome!!! PLEASE TOUR THE US AGAIN!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
Lead vocals and guitar were literally perfect for each other. Everyone in the band is essential, and makes the divine entity known as 12ft ninja possible.. but Steve and Kin have a serious Yin and Yang like chemestry that is galvanizing. I hope one day they reunite and settle any differences that may be..
How can a band sound like so many things I've heard before yet sound like nothing I've ever heard before?
Edit: I love you all. So. So. Much.
That’s the plan :)
@@twelvefootninja come to Florida
@@twelvefootninja come in my mom
@@twelvefootninja come in me
Mr.Bungle ?
why has no one said anything about that gnarley shark guitar?
We were waiting for you.
Eric Brigham people have been quite busy
Edgy Teen That Likes Djent Dude, I'm in love with your name and avatar #nohomo
Eric Brigham because that's just what guitars look like from down under. Shark themed. Don't believe me, look at the sound holes on Ormsby guitars
Eric Brigham or the late 90s early 2000s baggy ass pants!
It’s like a commercial Mr Bungle. I dig it
This song really is a masterpiece. I love the interplay between the drums and the guitar riff how they sort of interweave around each other, like the drum beats hit when the guitar is not playing and vice versa, almost like they're taking turns.
Just noticed that
I didn't even realise i wanted this until i watched it.
No wonder Tatiana from Jinjer mentions them as influential....The tempo and riffs is Jinjer all over the place
💜☺
And now there's been a collaboration!
Faith No More vibes but djent...amazing :O
yeah thats why i love these guys its like mike patton styles with metal
Was thinking the same thing
Djent No More
Stevic has said that there is no Faith no more influence in T.F.N
@@Mr_jz_12 perhaps not FNM, but I smell Patton for days.
It’s the year 2059 and this album still holds up to be one of the coolest things to happen to metal ever
I've been so busy, that I had to skip the intro using the link in the description.
Well that is busy! That's quite busy!
+twelvefootninja god has spoken
I hope that this isn't the best song on the album. I mean that in all ways positive too though, because this song is easily my favorite of 2015, and still so far of 2016. It would be a shame if you had exposed your ace so early.
+Neonmirrorblack Twelve Foot Ninja are lurking, waiting in the shadows to properly expose themselves to you... Fully exposed. Candy is optional.
I'm not stupid. Show me the candy first, then I'll get in the van.
Ah yes my favorite genre Djenting funky jazz reggae infused surf metal
Nailed it.
Lel, best comment!
As my guitar djently sweeps.
that pretty much describes aussie talent
Stevic actually described it perfectly in recent interview - Whatever-the-fuck-I-want-core
i am an old punk who went to stay at my best mates pub the red lion in bristol for my 46 birthday !i had a fuckin beautiful night doing mushrooms with my old crew an went to bed at four in the morning to be awoken by this fucking mental bass riff from downstairs,i couldnt lay there anymore and asked"what the fuck is this?" TWELVE FOOT NINJA! WOW love it ! its sick,im a new fan wicked!
I come back to this every now and then.
I'll quote it and of course no one knows what I'm talking about.
Amazing song too. One of the best of the genre.
The intro conversation has been my daily text opener for months, i'm really starting to piss my mates off!
If ADHD was a song
Diagnosed with ADHD. Can approve
If ADHD was a band
Then it would be Mindless Self Indulgence
What happens when you’re Australian with ADHD
Nah, that I think is Coming For You by these guys, way more whack haha.
Love the shit out of this band. Not only uniquely talented musicians but have a brotherhood that transcends what most other music doesn’t.
These blokes got together to write this masterpiece and someone asked …
“What genre should we fit this into?”
Everyone in 12FN: “Yes.”
Yes
Indubitably precisely
I'm new to this band, and that intro means everything to me now
I'm new to this band also, and I will forever measure the things I see and the people I meet against that intro. :D :D :D
Dat sev mi lyfe
i know!!! i love the sick intro aswell!!
Intro is beautiful
Thumbs up if you watched the intro but skipped the music part
That prog-jazz break at the end with the piano...I went insane!!! These guys are fucking awesome.
Yeah it went full bossa nova
Honestly you guys are absolutely bloody brilliant! The serious parts are serious; the silly parts are silly, and everything blends and moves together so perfectly and beautifully. And all done in a unique and creative way. Proper talent is what this is. Can't wait for the new album. I'll be watching the bloody grass grow in the meantime. Cheers! 🤘
7 years and this song is still a fucking BANGERRRR
behind all the goofyness is one of the most diverse and talented metal bands out there..little bit of everything from 70's disco to djent..these guys do it all..but the icing on the cake for me here is kin's vocals..he has an awesome diversity to his vocals and he cant realy be compared to anybody..just a kick ass band from down under
mike patton 2.0
I agree with everything except the vocals. It's not that he's not good, he's great, but he tries way hader than Tatiana from Jinjer and isn't nearly as good. Check out Pisces-Jinjer for the best example, but all their music is good to see. So to say he's uncomparable isn't fair and if you can rebutte me with someone more talented than her lmk I'm open to talent any day.
@@GRAYgauss Spencer Sotelo is far more talented. I agree she is a great vocalist thought! It's just a little out of place to throw Jinjer into the conversation when we're talking about 12 foot ninjas vocals
Soo corey taylor doesnt exist? Jp but yeah this is amazing
If you like this Crotch Duster might be right up your alley. However they are decidedly heavier ranging from Grindcore to Polka and everything in between. The comedy skits on the album are NSFW heads up. Juvenile humor at best but it made me laff like one possessed if that's any indication of my level of intellect.
I've been busy playing this song on repeat, which is even busier than a cat buring shit on concrete.
Wow, it rhymes...
Nour Hafez your a poet and didn't even know it
Derek S *you're
Derek S My mom would be proud
well that is fuckin busy
I was today years old when I noticed the bass on the "serious" side is a Warwick. I've been playing one of those for almost 20 years now, and I still get excited to see them in the wild! And it helps when it's at the hands of one of my very favorite bands. Rock on, djentlemen.
I'm hearing influences from several bands but these guys are imitating no one. 10 points for that alone!
This song gave me strength when I was recovering in hospital. Thanks for being awesome xx
That's awesome man
Well, you have been busy!
Love how you guys don't take yourselves too seriously. You seem to really have fun doing what you do and that energy really bleeds through into your music. Really gives an authentic feel while conveying the thought and effort you put into it. In short, you guys are awesome!
The first time i saw this I thought the beginning was kind of a random joke, but they are commenting on how people seem to evaluate each other and themselves based on busy-ness and productivity and 'the sound of one hand clapping' is a Zen thing which is basically the antithesis to the hyper-productivity mindset. Brilliant!
Man I miss you guys. Such a shame the band broke up. If I had the cash, I would’ve flown over to Australia to see the (hopefully not) “farewell tour”. Here’s to hoping! Love you guys. One of the greatest bands to ever grace this planet. 🤘
(Haven’t broken up - vocalist left)
@@twelvefootninja thank god! My drum teacher showed me this video and i was blown away! Hopefully i can see you guys play live!
@@twelvefootninja Mike. Patton.
@@twelvefootninja “so you’re telling me there’s a chance” 😎🤘
I've been so busy that this is my first time hearing Twelve Foot Ninja.
I love how these guys give zero fuchs about image and know how to have fun and create massive tunes!!
I'm so glad my first time listening to this band was live. They absolutely floored me and after their performance was over I was hooked. Album and shirt in hand
My greatest influences have always been korn, tool, system of a down, etc. Tweleve foot ninja is now definitely one of my all time favorite bands. Love the changes in genre. You guys are amazing!
Thanks Levi 🤟
Anytime! I'm a guitar player and wish I had enough to get your set up. Love it, please continue making excellence and come to usa someday
that bass brought earthquake in nepal.
RIGHT ON !! I'm still in aftershock mate....
I just watch the intro and leave, I'm too busy...
How busy you been pal?
How busy you been, mate?!
They've been busier than a dog eating cat shit off concrete
Geez mate!! You are fucking busy then aren't you??
@Panthera Metal you have been busy! ...haven't you?
Bro this is like the best band ever!😭❤
One of the best bands Australia has to offer \m/
I can't imagine how much fun they should have had while recording this vid xD
This gives me Faith No More vibes, can't believe I've only just found such an amazing band, and across the ditch at that
Exactly what I was thinking, a hard ass version of faith no more!
I thought they sound like a more mature Mr Bungle and Korn, and HED PE, and Trey Parker lol
I’ve always felt the same way! Brings back that faith no more mr. bungle sound
I’m happy that I’m not the only one who thinks that too
@@CaukyAsian You are correct. There is no faith no more according to stevic. They're massive mr bungle fans though.
I just discovered you guys earlier this year. Completely blown away by the unique talent and humor from all of you! This song has become one of my favorites to try to jam to when im practicing and going through covers. Im an analog kinda guy but those shuriken variax guitars are badass! Cheers from northern Michigan mates! 🤟
It is often said that there is a thin line between madness and genius.
That in mind, these are absolute madlads!
Cheers, guys!
Why would you want to skip such an awesome intro?
Did Stevie T. direct this?
somMelon yes
More like David Lynch.
At least the first minute.
First time watching this, I though so too! He should check this video out!d!
I also thought the same
Song so sick it put Melbourne back into lockdown.
Ha!
Song starts at:
Don't ever skip the intro...
Why the hell didnt anyone tell me Mike Patton joined Meshuggah?
Drummers Eve How good would that be!
Twelve Foot Ninja you guys rule. Much love from Canada. Gotta get back to it though. Been busier than a cucumber in a women's prison.
Accurate
Drummers Eve It's more like Mike Patton joining Korn...
Anyway, who cares when the result is a great band ? ^^
OMG.. As I was watching this I was like "damn i'm getting a very Faith No Moreish vibe here" glad to know i'm not the only one.. Cheers! this is pretty bad ass.. I'm glad there are still rando freaks out tehre that are willing to do something completely different
4:39 the single most heaviest variation of a riff ever. The bass is awesome.
Ever heard of a little band called Meshuggah?
Just dropped it 2 octives
Im playing that on repeat. Its too short man. I need that to last longer!!!!!!
The creeper notes legit give me a horror movie knife killer vibe and that's sick!
Me 5 min ago: Yeah, sure, I used to have crushes on lead singers as a teenager but I've long grown out of it.
Me rn: THE MOST PERFECT MAN IN THE WORLD, KIN, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW I EXIST BUT I LOVE YOU
They say ego kills talent. What I love about you guys is the fact that you combine your amazing musical talents with humility and humour. For this reason, you'll always create genuine fans. You have one right here. I debated showing my son this video because of the profanity at the start, but then I thought fuck it, he'll love your stuff! And sure enough, you have another new fan. Keep keeping busy and producing the amazing work guys (music and videos).
I just discovered this band a week ago via this video. I've been unable to go a day without listening to this and "Invincible".
Get the album. Every song is great.
^Get both albums. Every song is godlike.
Rick Boothe i could go on forever but il leave u b. just picked a random youtube comment and had nothing better to do. it hapnd to b u.
This is insane. I hate everyone and everything that stood in my way of hearing this until now. These guys are my new obsession 100 years late.
Perhaps the nastiest, heaviest riff ever recorded. Absolute face melting stuff.
I'd happily watch a 30 minute video of Ferret & The Sicko's.
Bass player: ‘I wanna do a song that sounds Alice In Chains-ish’ Drummer: How about a Meshuggah thing? Singer: ‘Ok, but as long as I get do do the Faith No More Thing’
Guitarist: Hey can I also do a bit of the whole Dillinger Escape Plan thing
Let’s Chuck some Primus in there too
Don't forget the Korn groove
Add a little Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra riffage for good measure
1:43 look at Nik being such a gentleman, opening the door for the other guys
I am so grateful I have a job that allows me to take breaks whenever I want so I can rediscover music I used to love. This song grooves so hard! Epic vibes.
new favorite band...gosh they are so good
So good! Check out their other albums, absolutely amazing :)
same here, holyshit
Yeah, except they aren't nu metal... Sevendust sound nothing like TFN, you absolute half-wit 😂
***** sadly there isn't an IQ test to enter internet.
Bienvenida :v
oh hell yeah boys! This rocks!! :D
Your music taste is the best bro!
MMMM I CAN FEEEEL THE BADASS MUSIC IN THIS BAND MMMMMMMM
Never thought I'd see you here, but perfectly understandable.
Amazing..love yo're music boys
You guys are the band that the world doesn't deserve, but the band that the world Needs 😂
This band saved all of you from my wrath by scratching itches I haven't been able to reach for 30 years
I have seen this an unhealthy amount of times
1:53 It's important to keep eye contact at all times to ensure bonding between band mates when plugging your guitar in your mates amp. Whether he wants it or not!
Oh, he wanted it.
He's just a tad bit shy.
im glad to have found twelve foot ninja
Same
The costume changes for when they play this song live must be insane.
It's like if Korn, Meshuggah and Faith no more (king for a day era) had baby. lol
i thought FNM instantly
+Cuj Smith seven dust popped in my head
The beginning reminded me a bit of Limp Bizkit ?
totally agree, Mike Patton influenced..
I'm pretty sure I heard some Alice in Chains in there, too. 5:05
[Intro]
Now put your money
Where your mouth is
You have the method
But will you move mountains?
This has become quite a vehicle
With no room for aggrandized egos
You have adapted to the role
Your portrayal betrays your soul
Wherever you may go
May your heart remain your home
[Verse 1]
I can see the sequence
Trans-human influence
I maintain observance
Focused on radiance
You remain in silence
Language omniscient
I renounce the violence
Devoid of intelligence
[Chorus]
They backed you into the corner
Provoked your will
From the brink
Your return to them stronger
Hear it when you’re willing
The sound of one hand killing
[Post-Chorus]
You are being hunted
Subject to summoning a landslide
You have adultered the altar
Of a faceless
Serpentine-coil of a riddle
As you can imagine
They are pulling every last stop
You will not falter
You offer to the people consistently
Caught in the middle
[Bridge]
I’ll send for you
When the coast is clear
(How long will I be waiting, waiting)(x2)
Climbing up to the top
Gonna meet you there
(How long will I be waiting, waiting)(x2)
For you!!
[Verse 2]
Up on your feet
Darling dear
May the gods guide you right back here
Without you here
It’s not home
May you find what you’re looking for
An inner peace
The infinite
May it burn through your deepest fear
Without punch
There’s no show
May you hold them accountable
[Chorus](x2)
They backed you into the corner
Provoked your will
From the brink
Your return to them stronger
Hear it when you’re willing
The sound of one hand killing
ohh - One hand killing, as opposed to the sound of one hand clapping.
Good on you, mate
Thank you
This is the sickest song I think I’ve heard
I love how you guys have a Formula 1 champion on drums!
Damn when did ADHD become a metal genre
Desecrator6 you nailed it!
Pretty much summed this vid up. 😂
When the Dillinger escape plan came out
Since Mr. Bungle and Naked City before that. Well... Naked City isnt metal, but they were the inspiration for Bungle.
no, that's when epilepsy became a genre.
Well, they've been busy, haven't they?
CowboyRazor
As busy as a cat
This band encouraged me to think more creatively in my own music. They're such a powerhouse band.
Very rewarding to read this
I think they traveled to Neptune, 6 billion years ago to write this song. By the laws of the universe, technically this song should not exist. But is does. Bravo gentlemen.
BrOOO THIS IS LIKE A DJENT KORN. I LOVE ITTT!!!
That's fucking exactly what I was thinking.
Cheers mate!
Defo hear the influence mate
Brooo this is like twelve foot ninja.. fuck why do we always tie bands to others cross another.... fuck me dead! It’s nothing like ‘djentie korn holes’ kids these days...
More like Faith No More on djent
"You haven't really been busy. Been on holidays then have ya? Bit of relaxing time. Bit of watching the bloody grass grow. Watching the paint dry have ya!" I want to hang. Thank you for writing music. All of your music is dripping magic.
These dudes are still liking and responding to comments several years after posting the video. Respect ✊
Still years have passed, but this remains one of the best to me.
