That dude so gets it. If you get what's going there you'll be right next to him doing the same thing & embracing / enjoying some great shit happening. Haha
This has to be one of my favorite videos on the internet. Spencer's collared tank top, the flower guitar, Zach going apeshit, the two girls awkwardly headbobbing behind Spencer, all the unenthusiastic camermen, and of course, afro glasses bro with the front backpack jamming out by Zach.
zach's cymbal stack from this era is like a fuckin eldritch horror beyond human comprehension. what kind of madman creates such an infernal machine. sounds great!
Polyrhythm and thrashing together at its best. Zach Hill sounds like Elvin Jones and Rashied Ali together, on speed! The guitarist is awesome! These guys are technical with a thrashing groove.
Hella music It´s like listen God at the fucking moment of universal creation.Explosions and colours in my head!They dominate the chaos...they reinvent the music and how to play their instruments.hella is a legendary band.who can play like them?nobody.It´s like see jimmy hendrix at first time in the 60`s.INCREDIBLE
I fucking miss live Hella performances. I took my cousin who was a musician like me, but more had more of a commercial style of making music. I was just interested in seeing new ideas & what I haven't heard before. I think being experimental is a stage that any musician who wants to be different should go through & stick around until they find their own concentrated well defined idea & sound. My cousin was all about the Incubus, Weezer, your basic alternative rock comfort zone. He didn't get what Hella was doing at all, haha. He got a head ache & said never again.
maskseverywhere holy shit, can't believe you have got the same profile pic as me, you must be thinking the same as well and thinking you were the only person cool enough haha, i noticed you had a 'dopethrone' pic in your background as well, i was recently listening to that, crazy. we must be the only ppl on youtube with this pic perhaps and met on here
sometimes I wonder if theres something wrong with my head. Because...I feel that this music really makes me feel relaxed in a weird way even though its so claustrophobic and spastic.
There's a comforting progression that takes place. I don't get to write code much these days, but when I do, it's usually to Hella. Gets me in the zone for concentrating.
im deeply grateful for the digital reproduction of this performance and for how we're all able to experience even a fraction the same euphoria that must've filled that room, even after commenting 5 years ago this still hits pretty hard for me. thank you Spencer Seim and Zach Hill, your music got me through some pretty tough times. Best of luck to you guys wherever you are
Really pleased by my personal story arc of loving hella before death grips then seeing DG start and Zack get the credit and attention as an artist he truly deserves
+CULTmk My two cents: Even from a non-fanboy standpoint, most of their albums sound very different. "No 666" had a six person band, keyboards, and vocals. Their first album was a split between the two members of the band with chiptune-ish/glitch sounds, especially on Hill's half of the record. "Bitches Ain't Shit" had keyboards and noisiness, tracks with no drums and/or guitar. I think they get written off because most people aren't interested in the intensity, I'd argue that they have no less variety (if not far more variety) than most bands do but their style is just way more in-your-face so it SEEMS like less variety. Also, I can see fans writing it off because of how big Zach Hill is now and his approach to music now. This video is from way back when Hella was much less known in comparison. No matter what, these guys did it right.
@@cn1506 Another reason why they're written off may be that the production on many of the records besides Hold Your Horse Is isn't that great. A lot of their other recordings are much more harsh and cluttered making them less accessible.
Been a long time since I first reunited with my cousins after graduating from a crazed and insane high school (where i was introduced to Death Grips which led me to getting to know Zach Hill and his aggressive drumming history).
Best night of my life was standing two feet from the stage, with our dear departed friend Nasty Tones, while Hella played these songs from their first album at Capitol Garage in Sac in about 2002. Shit was bonkers. The whole ride home Nasty and were going off about unreal this music was.
A: Bite the butter.
B: you wanna bite the butter?
C: Were going to bite the butter.
D: this song, uh, we’d really like to, uh, (intro starts).
the absolute best way to start any song in any concert, ever.
E: All of the above.
this song... uh ...we wanted to, uh, this song, uh, (intro guitar bends start)
It's more like "this, uh, we wanted to tell you, uh, this song.../bends all the strings on his guitar/"
That always frickin gets me 😂
Seeing it written out made me laugh
BITE THE BUTTER!
BITE THE BUTTER
dude with the afro and glasses is so happy to be there haha
he is crying too 6:06 xdddd
couldbeblue Wouldn't you be too? LOL
That dude so gets it. If you get what's going there you'll be right next to him doing the same thing & embracing / enjoying some great shit happening. Haha
If I was there, He'd be my new best friend

William Scerbo seriously a lot of cool stuff going on. I miss shows like this.
Afro Glasses Bro is my spirit animal. Straight up mirrored my expression the whole video through
Same dude
It's a frontpack
Intro is hilarious too
I love how Spencer starts talking but interrupts himself with his own playing. hahaha
I love watching people try to dance to math rock.
Marcus Spitz link pls
Marcus Spitz please send link
if this math rock they failed the exam
jamie wesson You obviously don’t know what math rock is then, moron
Labels labels labels
Zach Hill is like a drumming nomad - travelling from band to band to lend his badassness.
TetrisClock Death Grips is basically the eclipse put to audio
lol the girl in the back REALLY wants to dance along, god bless her for trying
Onstage? That's touring partners
She's a keeper for sure.
My favorite part of this video is just how hard the racially ambiguous kid to zach hill's left is digging the drums.
and that kid... was mc ride
idk man, he looks asian af, they are in japan after all.
listen up you nosy bitch
Deshift00 didn't you know? MC Ride can change his race
i feel weird seeing a comment made in the last hoour here i thought i was alone here
the guy with the glasses is literally the best thing ever we need more people to be that excited about music
Zach Hill reminds me that I don’t need to be like any idol, I just need to be myself
I want to learn to play like him. It's not necessarily that I want to copy his talent, but i'd like to emilate it.
I'm glad that they bit the butter.
Nick James Bite the butter!
The amount of catchy guitar licks in this song are astounding.
First time I heard Hella was when I saw them live opening up for System of a Down with Mars Volta. So dope.
mustve been a wild show
The last few songs must’ve been dope ashh 🤘🏼
Zach Hill will go down as one of the most important musicians of this era.
radiosurgery Most overrated drummer breathing. Seems hard, isn’t. Stamina is 90 percent of the difficulty to what he plays.
stratocaster0842 No.
@@stratocaster0842 are you a drummer
Don't forget Spencer Seim! He's keeping the music tight with Zach.
@@stratocaster0842 your on drugs
Zach Hill looks like he lives his entire life playing drums.
+Blueberry Boypussy I see you fucking everywhere. Pig Destroyer, Primitive Man, Hella, etc. You've got good taste.
He essentially does. XD
like a forrest gumo that went drumming...maybe one day in the middle of a show he says "im tired" and storm of the stage
He sounds like it, most importantly
He wasn't born, he didn't grow up, he just slid his way out of a kick-drum fully formed during one of Flatlander's recording sessions.
hahaha i love how he interrupts himself!
zach's cymbal stack from this era is like a fuckin eldritch horror beyond human comprehension. what kind of madman creates such an infernal machine. sounds great!
I like that dude in the crowd with the afro and glasses lol
groovy
he looks sssoo blown away!! haha
Mason Mills Lol what a jerk, he is just enjoying it a lot and you call him retarded, i would be with the same face i think.
This is one of my favorite songs and favorite performances. The communication between them is insane, like they are totally in sync. Inspirational.
Loads of practice
Polyrhythm and thrashing together at its best. Zach Hill sounds like Elvin Jones and Rashied Ali together, on speed! The guitarist is awesome! These guys are technical with a thrashing groove.
3:24 is absolute perfection
Saw these guys with Dillinger and BTBAM about 15 years ago, it was an epic show.
Sounds like a fuckin dream, no more dillinger nowadays 😭
That must've been a legendary show holy shit
holy shit that's an amazing line up
Frontpack for the gold. Everyone else vibrating politely.
I am convinced the drummer is the next step in human evolution.
his NAME
is ZACH
*HILL*
@@net6403 that was 9 years ago man i think he would know by now
@@jeffer5213 LOL
They've got such a fucking strong connection
When will they finish tuning their instruments?
NEVAAAAAA
@whatev ah Have you ever actually heard someone make a joke?
That is the music
Real musicians tune mid-song
I don't know why I don't get it
I cannot even begin imagine how hard it is to keep in time with this guy.
it's called understanding sub-divisions
@@AnotherWorldYT *perfecting subdivisions.
02:15 when they start rockin out, so sick
Best part
still watching this randomly every few weeks to be blown away at how good zach's drumming is and spencer's guitary playing
both spencer and zach are insanely talented at their instruments
I don’t think I can even move that fast. not enough fast twitch muscles
I love asian Omar Rodrigues-Lopez
Haha, that one dude vibin so hard.
This will be remembered as one of the great drum solos caught on film
Zach never stops soloing
They took the best bit of this song and wanged it up 7 or more notches to make it betterer for our enjoyment.
can i get the drum tabs pls?
You're joking right?

Been watching this video in various place for like 15 years now, still amazes me. As a drummer, the pure stamina alone is unfathomable.
this video should be in the smithsonian
i feel so lucky i got to see hella play in 2003, sounded and looked pretty much like this but in America. so sick
Typing this with one hand...

ADHD moment. This is basically my Adderall when I can’t get my script refilled. It just distracts all of my distractions if that makes sense
Zachs triceps get me feelin some kind of way
The goofy Asian kid with the backwards backpack has lived in my subconscious for about 12 years
the bass drum at 0:00 to 6:39 is so fucking insane
This specific video was crucial to the formation of Horse Torso. Thank you Zach and Spencer!!
i don't know who horse torso is but now i want to :O
That finish! No words for it, only intense indescribable emotion

This is like a speed run but for music
I remember buying this dvd when it came out. A friend borrowed it. I never saw it again 🙁
What is the god from Pun-Pun doing near Zach Hill?
lmao
dino run Hahaha amazing
Holy shit ikr
Hahah exactly what I was thinking
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AKDJDSKJFL
This just makes me so happy.
I will never get tired of this video
Really pleased by my personal story arc of loving hella before death grips then seeing DG start and Zack get the credit and attention as an artist he truly deserves
See that guy that is so happy to be there is why we all play n listen to music it is a passion
Classic video that I keep coming back to and am always amazed every time.
Fully convinced that this is one of the greatest performances of any song ever.
In 2023 this video fills me with joy.
I love that girl trying to dance in the background lol i cant even comprehend whats going on here let alone dance to it.

My bucket wishlist is to play with ZAch Hill and Mick Barr before I die of narcolepsy!
when i show my Rush fan friends what a crackpot drummer is...i show them either Buddy Rich....or Zach....sorry Neil....i still love you
Hella did go to more members/instruments (including a bass) for at least one album. I feel the complexity of just the 2 of them was enough.
3:02 i want that frame as a poster
I like the girl who keeps on trying to dance in the background. I love Hella but you definitely can't dance to them.

Check out "Concentration Face" by Hella
@@kouka7221 I love that one. would be sick to have some raw full quality audio files on a CD though
one of the best performances ive ever seen, god bless math rock
So I just found these guys from a Lighting Bolt video and holy shit tonight is going to be noisy
Hella is one the best bands ever!!!!!!!!!!
I now believe in Easter
Wow, this is... hella good.
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Can this band come back please, I love death grips but come on boys
this some calculus rock
Been a long time since I first reunited with my cousins after graduating from a crazed and insane high school (where i was introduced to Death Grips which led me to getting to know Zach Hill and his aggressive drumming history).
This popped into my mind somehow, I remembered the song title somehow.
Glad I could find it. These guys are absolutely insane

This is fucking sick....actually that's not enough but I can't think of anything else to explain the genius behind this.
no idea how u play shit like that, its amazing
Ahh the great times when people actually focused on the music and the performance rather than on how they can get the best shot from their phones.
The 90s and early 2000s were an awesome time for weird music
i can't fucking stop watching this video
I ate 54754765 potato chips while watching this video. I almost bite my fingers a couple of times too
seriously though. thumbs down from 43 people. hella was some next level. it always makes wonder why haters feel like their "work" actually works.
Zach hill broke jazz. My favorite improviser among many other titles! (magician, alchemist, etc.)
I come back to this vid every so often
