I've been listening to BTBAM for a year now and listened to every album from start to finish and I realized I was never bored and I never said "This song sucks." to any of their songs. I think it's awesome that BTBAM puts out such amazing material. Anyone else thinks so?
I'm curious to know if this sentiment still holds true. BTBAM is still one of my favorite bands, but I haven't been able to get in to this new stuff after Coma Ecliptic. None of it hits like Colors, TGMD, or Parallax.
@@Crain1990 I got into them around parallax 2 era, right before coma ecliptic came out, I was a freshman in high school. I wasn’t able to get into the older stuff I thought it was too chaotic and thought the vocals were too harsh. I loved everything P2 and upwards even when automata came out I listened to that a ton and really loved it, still do. Now it’s been like 4-5 years and over the past year and a half my buddy told me to give colors another try and i fell in love with it. I’ve just been spamming their whole discog now for like a year straight because I feel like such a fool for sleeping on the older records so long.Not a bad release imo, everything they’ve put out is so fun and exciting to me. Also just caught em live back to back at Worcester and Hartford, some of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Long Live BTBAM! Colors II is phenomenal!
I've heard this song about a thousand times now, but it still brings a little tear to my eye right at the slide guitar section at the end of the song before the reprise. Amazing band.
@@apeman939 I'm in Brazil :[[[[[ Gladly they are coming here in March to play a double set. I hope they choose this song cuz it's my favorite from them.
@@TheDrewmainia my hope is that they do GMd live on their evening with tours, make it a double album, first record the 20 years set, second record great misdirect live, then maybe a B side with some of the qna questions from the evening with tours
The meter changes 132 times by my count. I've been learning this one on drums and have it all transcribed. That being said, the drums are almost note for note from the studio version. Pretty impressive.
I know this song is long, bloated, drags a bit before the midway point, and has like 403 different sections.... but mother of god, this song is incredible. a true feast for the ears
@jamma246 Ah, alright. Thanks for sharing all of that man, gonna save that and try to work from there to figure out time signatures. =D Greatly appreciated mate!
@EMER1CA350 The jig is up. I like winding people up on You Tube when I'm bored. I love how needlessly passionate people are when it comes to a blue tag name giving an outlandish opinion. Well done for not being a crazy person. Oh and for the record they're my favorite band. Dusty and Paul are insanely good!!
Not any one, it is just too heavy. Tommy, when asked why he chooses to scream in BTBAM replied "Screaming is brootal, metal is brootal, BTBAM is a metal band." That being said, BTBAM defiantly put out my favorite Album this year and is in my top 5 bands right along with Cynic and Protest the Hero.
@RikkudoSennin Do you mean the very beginning- with the xylophone? That's just 4/4, just tap along. There's then a mishmash of time signatures, settles in at 12/8 at 0:49 and then you've got 7/4 at 1:27. I can't go through the whole thing, there are lots of time-signatures here and sometimes it may be open to interpretation where you start counting the bars etc. but there aren't any polyrhythms in here that I've noticed anyway.
I'm sorry but Blake and Dustie were members of Glass Casket, Paul was not :) And about the second singer... did you mean the guy that sang the first vocals? It's by Chuck Johnson
@jamma246 Ah, alright. That's really interesting, I kinda am trying to learn to hear and pick up on all of this stuff. So it's really cool you shared that. And can you answer if the beginning is a polyrhythm? ;O
Tommy Rogers. Also has a side project called Giles. Their bassist, Dan Briggs, has a couple side projects: Trioscapes and Orbs Blake and Dustie...maybe the other guitarist uh...Paul...we're in a band called Glass Casket a while back.
@dbergollo lol, just noticed that when you said it. obfuscation's racked up 4. but yes, it's very possible to not like it. i'd show you but it doesn't let me like/dislike my own videos.
@RikkudoSennin Nah, they are just different time signatures. Polyrhythms are where you overlap two different time-signatures. They are quite odd sounding, and you don't really get them very often. I don't think I hear any in this song, but BTBAM are certainly one of the sort of bands that would use polyrhythms. I don't know many examples- I think there is a bit in 2+2=5 by radiohead which is a polyrythm, although it's difficult to tell.
Stage presence is an important part of the live show though. There's a difference between having a good stage presence and "flailing around" though. Luckily Tommy picks up the slack though, because (as has been said) it is pretty hard to play all that crazy stuff and also move around.
POVYRYVMS EVERYWHERE! lol jk. There's no polyrhythms just a lot of time changes. If you want polyrhythms, check out Meshuggah, Periphery or some After The Burial
clapping along to btbam never ends well
i was thinking the exact same thing
I tried it. I bled
I tried, one of my bones broke

Always, I got into them in high school, for years later still buying all their shit online

every song except for "Millions"

it blows my mind that a band can play and remember an 18 minute song especially one like this
9:54 Holy shit, I just totally lost it there. Best band ever.
6:35 Gotta love that quick little drum solo :D
My favourite drummer of all time!
I've heard this song about a thousand times now, but it still brings a little tear to my eye right at the slide guitar section at the end of the song before the reprise. Amazing band.
This is the greatest and best song in the world...
...Tribute
One of the best songs ever recorded by one of the best bands in the history of recorded music.
I just came here to watch tommy attempt to do the keyboard solo. And for the Amazing music being played.
14:30 One of the best moments in their whole discography... chills!
BIG CHILLS!
I never knew we could Swim to The Moon Live!!
Look into the picture!!!! Every time Thomas screams that line the world has the potential to explode.
Still BTBAM's best song, it tells a story of human resolve turned to self destruction, gotta love it.
Man, I hope they release another really high quality DVD like they did with Colours. I loved that dvd, but TGM was by far my favourite album.
Look at Dan. He's all over the fucking place.
you know dan is a god if shrek comments about him
Him and Tommy are the only ones who can afford to have any stage presence lol
Dude, one of the best bands I've ever known. I can die happen having heard this band. Thank you.
Tommy is flawless live. So ridiculously good.
i remember i pick up silent circus and made my brother listen to it, needless to say he is still crying.
this song is literally incredible
Number 1 by btbam (in my opinion)
ONE OF THE BEST BANDS TO COME OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA!!!
One of the greatest bands of all time!
I know the music is hard to play I just wish they moved more live.
The* best band to come out of NC (opinion)
*Silence*
"I love you Paul!!"
What's wrong with them
How are they even able to do that
Musicality
they're not dumb, they're just enjoying the epicness of BTBAM :)
Dustie with that Mastodon shirt.
is extremely disgusting.
HOW THE HELL HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS!?!?!?!?!
I legit thought they never played it live !
Same. But dude.. full TGM tour coming up
@@apeman939 I'm in Brazil :[[[[[
Gladly they are coming here in March to play a double set. I hope they choose this song cuz it's my favorite from them.
18 mins of eargasm! What a great song!
Blake is too good. I dream of being as good as him.
going to see them do 2 sets in 1 night soon where they will be doing music from all eras of the band, i need them to play this song holy hell.
Unreal musicianship.
Im happy im going to see them in October with Periphery and The Safety Fire! :)
basically the best song ever isnt it?
Never understood why they didn't made a live album for The Great Misdirect...
Hopefully they’ll do something for its ten year anniversary
@@Superdudeawesome135 Wish granted.
TheDrewmainia I pray you will be in attendance for one of the shows?
@@Superdudeawesome135 Of course, first time seeing the boys ever, and they're going to a smaller venue a lot closer to where I live!
@@TheDrewmainia my hope is that they do GMd live on their evening with tours, make it a double album, first record the 20 years set, second record great misdirect live, then maybe a B side with some of the qna questions from the evening with tours

You don't headband to BTBAM. You just appreciate.
i would KILL to see them play this song live
This song should have replaced white walls as their must play years ago. It's a great outro song
6:37, Blake beating the absolute fuck out of those drums. Amazing drum solo.
Hahahahah! someone says, "so many people are stepping on my shoelaces" a little after the 00:34 mark.
I know this song is long, bloated, drags a bit before the midway point, and has like 403 different sections.... but mother of god, this song is incredible. a true feast for the ears
shut the fuck up
Lol, that's a bit much. But yes, the comment boils down to "I know this is a BTBAM song but"
Great footage, dude.
Chills.
@jamma246 Ah, alright. Thanks for sharing all of that man, gonna save that and try to work from there to figure out time signatures. =D
Greatly appreciated mate!
14:40 I love how he just steps on the median during the breakdown and the whole crowd just holds him up.
@EMER1CA350 The jig is up. I like winding people up on You Tube when I'm bored. I love how needlessly passionate people are when it comes to a blue tag name giving an outlandish opinion.

Documental Song abouht the moons! Fuckin G amazzing
It's their merch guy. I think he's in a band called Night bear
Holy shit 11:50 tommy solo and 9:54 paul solo. That's musicality.
Actually, he's the bassist in a band called Orbs with Dan Briggs... he was also BTBAM's merch guy on this tour.
I think it's their merch guy. His name is chuck johnson I believe.
6:37 i could feel my entire body shivering
Not any one, it is just too heavy. Tommy, when asked why he chooses to scream in BTBAM replied "Screaming is brootal, metal is brootal, BTBAM is a metal band." That being said, BTBAM defiantly put out my favorite Album this year and is in my top 5 bands right along with Cynic and Protest the Hero.
7:00 the exact second I would've gone apeshit in the crowd
Disappointed with the clean vocals on the first chorus :( But keyboards around 6:20 make up for it :)
Absolutely INSANE, btw younger Tommy was fking savage 14:22
Blake really is a god on drums oh god
"Look into the mirror", You sure about that one, Tommy?
this song fuckin rules
The clapping in the beginning shows me BTBAM have fans that AREN'T musicians too, and I thought it was just us music nerds lol

11:49 reminds me of the music on a monopoly game I used to have on my SNES
@jamma246 Can you explain what polyrhythms are? ;O I think they're time signatures, like, 3, 5, and 7 maybe? I'm not actually sure. ;/
Don't forget Tommy and Paul both played guitar in Raleigh band Prayer For Cleansing
0:33 "Oh my god, so many people are stepping on my shoe laces!"
someone stepped on the higain- beast channel on 16:24, what a FAT, heavy and tight sound!!! \m/eeetalllll!
Cant hear the BASS
Dustie wearing a Mastodon t shirt? I highly approve.
10:58 solo is straight up Beyond this Life by DT
To say it's a bit of a stretch is the mother of all euphemisms
If this isnt the best song they ever wrote, then it's fucking close
Tommy Rogers. Also has a side project called Giles.

Blake and Dustie...maybe the other guitarist uh...Paul...we're in a band called Glass Casket a while back.
@mensendike i figured that was something you would have to do. if i need to do something on my end let me know.
someone said he's their merch guy, i don't if he is or not
@FALLENxxSKAT3R actually there are a few polyrythms
@dbergollo lol, just noticed that when you said it. obfuscation's racked up 4. but yes, it's very possible to not like it. i'd show you but it doesn't let me like/dislike my own videos.

@myshoesstink100 You sir, are a master of your craft. Assuming your craft is deceiving people on youtube. Regardless, I want Paul to have my children.
0 dislikes ~:| I guess its not possible not to like it.Damn it! -________- haha!
their merch guy
Can someone tell me who the second singer is?
My favourite band of all time!!! Btw, who was that other vocalist at the beginning?
Chuck Johnson, former merch guy. He sings the beginning part on the album, as well.
Fucking merch guy owns!!
holy jebus i think my ears just wet themselves
Fucking love that Mastodon shirt Dustie is Waring.
.....who the hell downvoted this?
Where exactly are the polyrythms in this song? I only hear a lot of time signature changes.
I liked the part where they blew my mind for 17:55.
@myshoesstink100 Surely you jest?
@ancook58 oh come on now are we really going to nitpick over the spelling of a comment that was posted 5 months ago?
goddamn.... they sound exactly the same live.
Dusty is wearing a Mastodon shirt!
no, it was an honest spelling error. I'm only human haha
@winnerbaby44 Yeah that's what I was thinking, but still... Where's the head banging? They just stand there.
lol whats up with the random "get him! Kick is ass!" @ 9:52 ??
Who is the other guy singing those few lines with Tommy?
Stage presence is an important part of the live show though. There's a difference between having a good stage presence and "flailing around" though. Luckily Tommy picks up the slack though, because (as has been said) it is pretty hard to play all that crazy stuff and also move around.
try playing thay for 17 minutes
POVYRYVMS EVERYWHERE! lol jk. There's no polyrhythms just a lot of time changes. If you want polyrhythms, check out Meshuggah, Periphery or some After The Burial
10:33 Dustie and Dan look so cool headbaning haha
Mastodon shirt!!
