I accidentally stayed near the MOST HAUNTED place in TOKYO & heard SCREAMING-TOYAMA PARK WALKTHROUGH
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
I woke up to blood curdling screams one night while staying in Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan. I did some research to figure out what may have been the cause of what I heard. What I discovered shocked me! Turns out my vacation rental was next to TOYAMA PARK, the most haunted place in Tokyo. Whoops! Here’s what happened to me, what I think may actually be causing the screams, and a thorough walk th...

Competed in Street Fighter for the first time ever after playing Dhalsim since SF2 came out in arcades in 1991, 30 years ago. I was super curious how I'd stack up though had no delusions of glory since I'm literally ranked gold by only 1 point. That said, I was still hoping some lower-level players like myself may be in this competition. Oh buddy, was I wrong. Straight out of the gates a Super ...

I'm a firm believer that there is beauty and grace in even the most mundane species of animals (especially fish!). The Jacksmelt, White Croaker (Kingfish), and Barred Surfp...

Full SQUALUS #jawswemake scene - "Show Me The Way To Go Home"

SQUALUS was honored to contribute to The Daily Jaws - #wemake fan-made quarantine remake of JAWS. Obviously, they had a ton of submissions, so only a very small chunk of our whole scene was used, which was from our original "rough" cut without our Spielberg level of final finessing. So here is the FULL scene with all the audio effects Bryan put into it, all the vocal tracks Andy, Bryan and I ov...

Pearl thought we got too fancy on our last song, claiming it was too overproduced. She wants to keep the band raw, return us to our roots! No guitar overdubs. No extreme photo filters. No trained animal actors. I said ok. Cometh ol' ancient being of flesh and tech. Bestow upon us some sphinx level wreck! Prepare thyself for MECHACLEOPATRA.

I lost my Dad in 2003 in a motorcycle accident. In late 2019 I received five last boxes of his belongings from his widow and was told that there were comic books in there, among many other things. It took me till quarantine 2020 to build up the emotional courage to go through these boxes and travel down that memory lane. I have distinct memories of reading his comics growing up and have always ...

SQUALUS "Chrissie Watkins" live with lyrics
@12:45 truck going backwards. . . WEIRD
Swim Charlie, SWIM!!!! Awesome track. I wish I could see this guys live.
This is an amazing video so far- you need to keep editing and uploading. It’s all done so well!!! Kudos
If I didn't know this was underwater I'd genuinely think this was an alien
I visited this park last week. I have to say the air there felt very strange. The best way to describe it: it's like walking through a veil of slime.
Psalms 104:25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Amazing…!
Quellus?
Never build houses over mass graves! Lol 😅
You should have way more then 35 likes! .....Good work! great video. peace
Thank you!!! Five months after you posted, my likes shot up... to 42. hahaha Thanks for watching though!
I was there bc I’ma student there
I would really love to explore this place when I travel to Japan!! I wonder if it is really haunted.
Imagine if your life was unwillingly taken from to be used as a guinea pig. Now multiply that by 12,000 souls.
I love the atmosphere and your slow but clear way of explaining things. Loved it!! I'm looking forward to travelling there ❤
Thank you so much! I love making videos. And this story had to be told. So crazy surreal and weird.
YES!
I have missed so many Friendship Noodles songs, I need this album to come out! My Giant Squid and Squalus Collection won't be complete without it! Are you tuned to Drop A?
Holy shit. You guys crushed it. You sounded great Pearl! Friendship Noodles for life!
Amazing!
She’s phenomenal!👏
Extraordinary 🥹
I dream that one day I'll be as cool as Pearl
Me too !!!
The Ocean is a God unto itself.
3yrs ago… Does she use it now?
Ha, nah she became a drummer! But I use it in our band together, Friendship Noodles!
I thought about the fox story right before you started telling it! Being at your place and hearing it is how I learned about that fox behavior. It still gets me! Thanks for sharing this. I really hope to go to Japan some day!
Ah, Angie! You remember the fox! Yeah, that was absolutely nuts that night. Scared the hell out of me. You need to go to Japan! It's pretty much the best.
Dang super cool video! I like all the editing you did and the atmospheric music.
Thanks my dude!!! I swear I’m going to make it to your shop soon.
Who else typed depth 7828 💀💀
Just got one on CL from a fellow metalhead... Still testing it out with my SG but appears to be...most radical...
That's pretty good, keep it up!
Bros just t-posing. He lagged out, give him a sec
Such a gorgeous creature. Looking at it makes me feel joyful..
<3 Please keep going guys! Love from HU.
YES!!!! Aaron, you’ve taught her well! Love the pink mini strat too!!!
Cool Steve!!! Nice work buddy!
I love Giant Squid. A little piece of me died the day I learned I'd never see them live. I may have to start a tribute band. A Trilobute band maybe?
I’m pissing
I had one as a teenager in the 90. That same one with the aqua. Brings back memories just seeing it.
You should hunt one down, just for the nostalgia. They're so much fun!
@@RiffsScalesandFishTales Found one for an actual decent price. Stoked just to have it. Played with my first band through one.
1:55 I'm in love 🔥 Also her dress is fantastic
What kind of guitar is that?
ESP Ultratone SL7. It's such a beast. Japan only model.
I just found one for $60 in the Pawn shopin. excellent condition, think it's an '03 model. Your art is awesome btw! Cool vid, Thanks
Hey Bill, thank you! And score!! I want to find like 3 more and stack em and break open time and space with massive Rage riffs.
Dude you look like Nick Mason of PF. Nice guitar playing🙂
Haha, yes. I'll take that. Thanks!!
Rad!
Thanks dude!!
Visited crete recently and simultaneously remembered i had a random giant squid track on one of my playlists. Finally clicked and this album is a rabbit hole I'm enjoying the venture down. Thanks for the video too :)
Yes, that's amazing!!! Hope it spurs even more interest on Crete as well.
you have a beautiful voice
Awww… wow, thank you so much! Made my day.
What amp are you playing through in this? Overdrive in front of amp?
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I believe this is just straight into the Orange Crush 30. Has a pretty ripping, super saturated overdrive. Thanks for watching!
@@RiffsScalesandFishTales No apology necessary man! Thanks for letting me know! Do you ever use open back cabs?
@@AphelionBlackMetal I used to play Fender Twin combos religiously, so inherently had open back cabs then, but I'd couple them with closed back cabinets of various configurations. I love both, truly. Lush clean tones - open back, punch low-end distortion - closed.
@@RiffsScalesandFishTales Kinda like the Neurosis setup with the custom 2x12s that are half sealed, and half open! I have a cab related story for you. I will probably message you on IG since It's somewhat lengthy. Cheers!
don't be afraid of the deep sea roy bedoys! :)
Watched the whole thing! You pulled of some really nice moves and combos! I don't know enough to even understand most of what is going on lol
Thank you so much! And yeah, totally understand. If you're not familiar with the game, let alone engrossed in it, it may be hard to relate. But stoked you watched all of it!
I love the part where the long arm screw was moving his tentacles and then swimming around the camera
hi uncle Aaron love you and your vids also say hi to pearl for me
Im getting one tomorrow for $20!😄
SCORE!!! I'll give you $35 for it. :)
What song is this?
Neonate off of Metridium Fields, released by The End Records. giantsquid.bandcamp.com/track/neonate-2
If we seen that in space above earth we'd nuke it from orbit. I gotta go outside and get some deep breaths after watching these videos...knowing that things on the same planet with me at every moment of every day....I just cant.
