I don't think it can be overstated how much of an impact this band has had on Metal for the last 20 years.
I believe all guitarist and instrumentalist gravitate to this amazing, groundbreaking work.
I liked the part when they played awesome music.
Good. You left a like
I too like the whole song
I really like that first album they put out, the self titled one about aliens and shit. They should do that again.
@@austinstowe1718 it was about aliens??
@@frankunodostres473 idk actually, someone told me it was and I just believed them, so maybe lmao
Whoever the live recording engineer was kicked ass.
I love how Blake has a full desktop there next to him, complete with mouse.
Has to be for backing tracks
i know right? these days its not a desktop anymore haha
An ad break came on halfway through the solo, I cried
I'd break anything and everything around me.
@@MyHandleShouldBeLessCharacters I did;)
It’s just plain rude!
Same
FUCKING ALGORITHMIC ASSHOLES!
These guys are seriously one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Considering how long and elaborate their songs are it is just staggering how consistent and precise they are, and how good they sound. Like they basically sound as polished as an album.
I went last night it was impressive and complex. Half the people stood absolutely still in awe. They did an entire album.
Yes indeed, couldn't agree more! Ive seen them a dozen times from 2004 until now and they have been absolute beasts the entire time. True art!!!
I will never get the feeling of listening to alaska for the first time ever again 😢
You couldn’t have said that any better!
This was the most inspiring thing to hear as a teenage guitarist in high school when it was brand new.
SAME!!!!!!! Saw it live a few months before Alaska came out and it blew my mind!
Same! And I was in a metal band at the time. Totally influenced my play style 100 percent
I met a korean-american guy, called Kevin, in Spain, in 2006.
He gave me a cd, with this song
It's amazing
nice
Thanks, Kevin.
Anyone else love the unique style, that is between the buried and I? That clash of chaos, and harmony.... beautiful. Real musicians here. Sadly very under rated.
seeing the full concert hall, I wouldn't call them underrated
I don't know who Between the Buried and I is. Do they sound anything like Between the Buried and Me? Also, I'm sure you're the only one, you unique and beautiful snowflake, you.
@@notsure1969 obvious keyboard fail, get a fuck life fool
@@notsure1969 ? hahahah wat? are you a fentalino consumer? lol
That solo blows my mind and gives me insane goosebumps every single time
I was fortunate enough to be one of the first people to hear this live, at a show at the Pound SF in 2005, they played two songs from the upcoming Alaska album and this was one of them. At the time the sweeps in the solo were truly unprecedented in metal music, I couldn't even comprehend what I was hearing! I got kicked in the face and broke my nose at that show, wearing a freshly purchased BTBAM Silent Circus shirt (the one with the double kick pedals on it) and I bled all over it, but fortunately it was black, along with all my other clothes lol. Oh how I miss those days, simpler times.
Progressive master fucking piece. Never forget it pal!
@@dcfromthevbro, sweeps have been a thing in metal since the 80s. Do you know who Jason Becker is? Selkies solo is a masterpiece though.
@@dcfromthev I was there! I miss that place! One of the best venues ever. And got to see a ton of bands, as well as meet some of them before they blew up.
My father asked my what I wanted for my birthday in 2009. I told him that I just started to listen to a band called Between the Buried and Me and that I wanted their live dvd. BEST BIRTHDAY EVER
This song makes me want to cry. If I lived a thousand lifetimes, I'd never create anything this perfect.
Me too man. Such a beautiful song contrasted with pummeling brutality
It's amazing to me how they were able to play this clean. BTBAM is deffo one of the most underrated metal bands of all time for sure 🐐
Underrated is not the correct word when pretty much everyone who knows about them raves about how good they are.
Car Bomb too
Definitely agree. On another notion Nevermore?!
17 years old saw these guys open for Dragonforce in HTX, was there for DF. Never heard of BTBAM ever. This song comes on, fucking hooked from that point forward. Dragonforce goes on to play a drunken slopfest of a show. Good times.
Some bands like dragon force get too big for their shoes and fall apart. BTBAM are a well oiled machine of art, chaos and harmony. Professionals and legends
@@Jethropeth The worst part was it was back in the day when Through the Fire and Flames was at it's peak popularity and all the crowd really wanted to hear live for the solos. They play it as an encore when they were at their most drunk and just butchered it.
That's because Dragonforce is garbage and power metal in itself is pretty lame and terrible
Similar story. I was 16 and went for Norma Jean in a fairly small venue and my group staked out very close on the left and when btbam was setting up I thought Paul was a tech/roadie because he didn't look like a metal guitarist. Welp, got my face melted by Selkies from only a couple feet away and they've been a constant in my life since.
I had basically the same experience when I saw Dragonforce live around that same time. Drunken slopfest is the perfect way to describe it. They were awful, and real shitty towards the crowd. We left after just a few songs, and I stopped listening to them all together. Funnily enough, they were performing at the same pub at which I saw BtBaM just a few years later, which turned out to be one of the best live shows I've ever seen. So I guess it wasn't the venue!
In Dragonforce's defence, they are way better these days. The new singer is vastly more talented. And judging by their much shorter songs they don't come across as such self indulgent dickheads anymore. I imagine back then they just really high on their recent fire and flames hype.
My husband introduced me to this band almost 20 yrs ago.....this is my favorite song ever. I think i love this band more than he does lol
15 comments? Sad. Paul Waggoner remains the greatest guitar player of all time. GOAT.
Lmfao thats funny
I am so furious about the false confidence it gives me to see Paul play those sweeps so EFFORTLESSLY. His fingers are practically yawning while he plays them. Masterpiece of a tune!
No matter how many years go by, or times I listen to it, chills run down my spine all the way to my unit.
2022 and this comment is relatable af.
Unit currently chilled
One of the best bands ever.
Life changing music.
We all have to admit that the best part of this is between 0:00 and 12:10
I used to think there was no way on earth anyone would ever surpass Opeth as my favorite band. And, I mean, it's Opeth, so nobody will probably ever accomplish that feat. But, I'll be got danged in BTBAM isn't an extremely close second. They're sofa king young in this video. It's adorable.
Paul is a legend one of the most inspiring guitarist ever
Btbam play some of the most technical things and they play it better live than their actual album. Studio recordings dont do this band justice
Tommy Giles is an amazing vocalist and an equally potent frontman. Check out his solo stuffs. Dope
Does it blow anyone else's minds that this was 14 years ago? Holy fuck.
Paul Waggnor just messing with our feelings... and we love it..
I saw them right after this album came out here in in Baltimore they were playing with The Dillinger escape Plan and DJ Flashbulb opened for them. It was epic. I was there for Dillinger, but hearing BTBAM live made me an instant fan. Full disclosure, Dillinger was still the show stopper, and probably the most intense metal band I've ever seen live. Baltimore is Greg's hometown, and he breathed fire despite it being banned recently prior. The un-burnt excess liquid from his mouth literally misted onto my face, and at 17 it was a real thrill.
1:51 - I love the "step into..." clean vocals from the original, but the growl versión here is bone chilling.
I am constantly delighted at how this band genuinely enjoys performing more than most artists especially these days.
Trevor Hapanowicz it’s like the major league of composing music. Hit it live. These dudes are incredibly competitive.
Paul ain't the biggest fan of Selkies these days lol they enjoy playing their newer stuff now more
@@dexxfilm why doesn’t he enjoy selkies?
@@retrorewind6042 thats b.s dont listen to ppl
If people with even the slightest notion or ear for music as an artform can comprehend what they're actually doing. Count it out. The time signatures. They are extremely talented and professional at what they do. They're even better live than studio.
Beginning of the song, and then from the 5:00 to 8:00 mark is a musical masterpiece. Listen to that shit on repeat all the time!
first time hearing this version. CHILLS
emi Wow! Check out the whole Colors DVD and encore it’s great
6:46 the pure joy in Tommy's face is amazing
The pure Joy in my soul doubles everytime I hear ANYTHING FROM THIS SET, JEEEEEEEEESUUUS.. BACKWARDS MARATHON, ASPIRATIONS, AD A DGLGMUT.. THE ENTIRE COLORS ALBUM! 🖤↔️💗
You can tell they thoroughly enjoy playing live and i think that sets them apart from most bands. The pure joy in their faces is otherworldly compared to most bands.
im relatively new to this band even tho ive been listening to metal for a long time (guess I just put them off for some reason). Been heavily impressed by almost everything theyve done and they killed/still kill it live it seems, amazing stuff
Yeah forever I just figured some typical death core shit...Didn't know they had DT - Mars Volta infuluences etc...Great band
They're incredible live, definitely worth seeing if they come around your area.
Bro, Dan Briggs is that man 🤘🤘
Dusty wearing that shirt is what got me into dillinger, thanks dusty.
I would like to think about the song in its literal sense. A man meets a mermaid(selkie) in human form. They fall in love. And she realizes the corruption of man. She falls in love with that man but can only stay on land for so long. Then they have to say goodbye before she has to go back to the sea. It’s a very darker version of little mermaid lol. And the solo at the end is their goodbye. That’s my interpretation
I’ve seen them perform this live a couple times and holy fuckin shit it was so beautiful just like this 🤯 BTBAM gotta be one of the most talented bands of all time.
Nothing sums up some of the coolest years of my life like this song. I miss living for shows like this on the weekends! Thank you!
I am honored to have seen you gents play in roughly 2008-9ish at Mayhem Festival at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. THEN, saw you headline Summer Slaughter 2018 in Phoenix where I live now. I remember a few guys stating the BTBAM was the heaviest band that year. You have a unique sound and such great talent. See you soon
He's actually a decent singer live too. Wasn't expecting his falsetto to hold up.
Not sure if there's lag in my audio/video but his vocals didn't't line up with his mouth when I watched. Wouldn't judge him for lipsyncing, but it's possible
10:05 - wait is that The Dear Hunter sounding as background music? Fucking amazing
I absolutely love that you can hear The Dear Hunter playing in the background after they finished. Both bands did a great job on the covers they did for each other.
i mean how can you hate this, arguably the greatest song ever
This song is a masterpiece
This band is super underrated and i feel it doesnt get the credit they deserve
I would have killed someone to be at this concert….such a tight performance
Thank you yt for playing ads during the solo
This used to be my alarm in like 9th grade and i wasnt even mad to wake up to it
That scream at the end had me rolling
Who's watched this DVD multiple times beginning to end? XD (raises hand)
Masterpiece of a song
😅 I didn't know live performances could actually sound this good! 😅 Big ups to the engineer/s!
They always kill the live show.
What an absolute beating.
Awesome music made by awesome people!!!
Saw these guys when they where touring this album with bleeding through and every time I die and a life once lost.. phenomenal show and Paul stole it with this solo.. changed my whole approach to guitar.
That's a fucking incredible lineup. Seen them all but never together other than bleeding through with a life once lost back in maybe 2006
Paul Waggoner is a fucking wizard
This makes me so happy.
Love this boy's vocals.
I never got the chance to see btbam live and I’m regretting it watching this video. Been one of my favorite bands since 04/05. Alaska was released on my 16th birthday and it’ll always hold a special place in my heart, i still have that cd too
They still tour and they are amazing live!
The part at 4:53 isn't on the album version and is fucking beautiful, caught me so off guard.
Actually it is, listen closely it's in the background. Hard to hear depending on your headphone/speaker setup.
Yes for the laser speed closing!!! If I only could have been. There
Goddamn these guys slam everrrrry damn time.
That end is like those times when you need to go to the toilet after a few beers but don’t want to miss a note of the gig 😅
They came a long way
It's honeslty depressing that so many people won't give this style of music a chance and instead warship the same generic garbage that is mainstream.
Don't get me wrong, there is and always will be great mainstream music - but it's criminal the amount of talent that is forsaken because they don't bring in the $$$. Props to BTBAM for staying strong, relevant, and passionate over all these years.
I remember watching this in high school a decade go and my musical world changing - thank you.
They didn't play the harmony at the end of the solo and song? Like when it fades out on Alaska. I'm gonna cry.
Yeah I was waiting for it too
🤙🎸 Never disappointed, these guys really get up in the ear g-spot and find a home...🤷♂️
Because that was overdubbed in studio. Imagine having three guitar parts played live. :D
Am I the only one that prefer the live version to the studio one?
Cheers from a Italian great fan of you!
Drinking game: Every time Paul throws his hair back, take a shot.
Alcholhol poison intensifies
I did this, and died.
I looked up at the video after reading this comment and it happened right away lol
Nashville loves their music man!
My favorite group by a wide margin. Also a fan of the dear hunter which played briefly on the house speakers at the end of the set. Really wish I could have seen them both together a few years back.
The bridge to the end is heavy metal heaven (really the whole song).
This is BTBAMs magnum opus.
Sorry but they have never been as great as this song since.
Perfect mix of their newer style and the first album
A perfect song.
There is so much talent going on here. This is not a façade.
Damn i missed this show :(
All time favorite live performance..🤩
Fantastic. I love this band.
I love that after playing an epic show they just chilled and watched Home Alone together. Some of the most skilled, chill, and down to Earth dudes around. After every one of their shows there is just such an electric air, everybody is pumped and it feels like you just fucked the universe. Great shit. Long live BtBaM.
Epic
I've noticed these videos have a sound issue - whenever there's a moment of silence in the song, there's a volume surge the moment they all begin playing again. I think it's a sound normalization filter that was probably left on while encoding the video. Does anyone else notice this?
yes, almost fell of the chair several times.
cant thank you guys enough for the amazing sounds over the years...but ill try! THANK YOU!!!!!! ;)
One of the best shows of my life 🤘🏼💚✨
One of the best songs ever made
They look so much younger here, wow.
yeah, thats usually how the concept of time works.
BANGER OF THE COSMOS
INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS
Just epic
I think Dan is the only one of these dudes that has literally not aged one day haha
3:38 goddamn!!!!
Absolutely incredible!
와..진짜 잘한다. 최고다.
I wish I had money to see these guys live, they are fucking awesome
🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
wonderful!
Great song as a whole, but the second half is some of the best music ever written
I love the Bowie/Jareth image on the keyboard.
Thank you so much for putting this on RUclips! Can't wait for the show on the 26th.
Not a single shoe in sight, everyone just enjoying the moment, barefeet
Animals
Kiddos this is the greatest prog band since tool, or rush formed.
100%, nobody else even comes close
The breakdown is unreal, I keep coming back to this video Id like it played at my funeral because normies would be confused at first but then they would get it.
I miss buzz cut & board shorts Dan. He got a new haircut 5 years ago and just hasn't been the same 😥
