So, when learning this bass line, I realized that half the time the 6th fret is played, it is played 3 times in a row, so the tab spells "6 6 6". While I think it's just a neat coincidence, I wouldn't be surprised if this was on purpose, given it's Ghost.
Probably on purpose, since you could have played first fret on the higher string.
One thing I will always commend them for is the thought that goes into their music. It’s not just a coincidence that they make satanic music that could easily be mistaken for a Beatles song.
Hell, they covered a Beatles song better than the original.
I mean a lot of the Christian songs I play at church is also 666666666 so imma go ahead and call it a coincidence...
perhaps - given that you worked it out - you could be a peer of the group.
Ghost is badass band
Papa just casually has a better origin story than most superheroes
Yes indeed
Agreed
The hero we all desever!
Bro is the Martin Luther of Satanism
and similar theme to wonder woman
that bass line surprise-attacks you, throws you into the corner and gives you the most awesome beating of your life
The bass is epic
bass line: this is for your own good, son!
It’s a beast live too.
Kinda hot
"thank you sir may I have another?"
That Bass... it shakes my insides....
That Riff... it cracks the ground...
That Drum Beat... it reaps souls...
Those Vocals... they bring your souls to the pit...
What I love about ghost is they have the ability to sound suoer heavy But mellow and melodic at the same time
The Taco Channel Exactly! If there are any other bands like this I would love to know
Go listen to Rats and then listen to I believe.. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about their musical talents, nothing will.
These guys are addicting!
They are "The Beatles" of Black Metal. Their melodies are infectious...They get under your skin...But they are singing about Satan and H-E-L-L and you don't even know it. Pure B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-C-E!!!
@@randyerb6839 They're not black metal. Black metal has screeching. Not even Deicide is black metal(it's death metal). Ghost is mostly rock/hard rock, though they flirt with (early) heavy, psychedelic, doom, and progressive metal occasionally. Their inspiration includes the beach boys, but if I was going to compare them to a "metal" band they're more blue oyster cult than anything.
That is called talent, my friend
Papa is a consummate showman. Fucking brilliant. You could put anyone in a mask and get them to sing. This guy can work a stage. The imperious flourishes of the dark pope. He brings the character to life. This image could have been seen as hokey and pretty shitty, but he owns it, works it and the character is as important as the music.
Well said, I agree wholeheartedly
Agree.
Words of a genius, so true
Cleatus Sparklepants couldn't have said it better myself.
Indeed, and that's even more obvious when you see him during a live concert. His presence on the stage amd how he can bend any crowd to his will is uncanny.
I love how Tobias mixes comedy in his music, picking Kay Johnson ( Madame Satan) as the 30's movie to the backdrop to this song was genius. The whole roaring 20's and 30's vibe with Square Hammer, the King Kong reference on Majesty's artwork ( and referenced again in Marionette ) etc .. love the humor
IKR? I'm a horror nerd, and all the old-school references are life itself.
Don't forget Metropolis. If you like this film style, check that movie out.
before he fired everyone and started with rental musicians Ghost were great. Henrik Palm who got fired plays bass on this. You should rather check out his projects. Pig Eyes and Henrik Palm. Then you will hear who was the brain behind Ghost before Tobias went Axl.
@Trent Boots ghost is still great, I don't know what you're on about
@@Jointanatomy Just checked out Henrik Palm and his music sounds like exactly what I've been feeling is missing from Ghost's recent stuff; that eerie groove.
I'm a 52 year old metalhead just getting into this band. Glad I gave them a listen I'm hooked
i seriously cannot stop listening to Ghost. They are absolutly incredible, both music wise, and showmanship wise
I think they're pretty next level with their hidden symbolism too! Honestly I haven't found a band that moved me this much since I found Dark Side at 16..
these guys pretty much stole my soul right out of my mouth lol... can't imagine doing it much better than they do!
Yesss
Same! I only got into them at the start of this year, and I am obsessed. I listen to them literally every day.
@Stevie Wolfe I gotta see 'em next time they come through...
Me too
How metalheads can hate on this so hard is crazy to me. This goes back to the roots of heavy metal. If you're not a fan of it, okay...but don't say they're pop garbage lmao trust me, most hip hop and pop fans would be shocked by this. Just because it's clean vocals doesn't discredit it. And just because they actually have FUN and act satirical doesn't make it less metal. Reminds me of Judas Priest mixed with White Zombie. And the stage act is really entertaining too.
I only recently got into ghost but, anyone who says using comedy is dumb is retarded. many metal heads like me love GWAR and they are based around comedy.
ScreamKid101
I agree. It's all for good fun and some people need to learn to lighten up. Sorry it isn't Satan worshiping enough for you, children lmao
did you know ghost dont even call themselves metal?
Emile Locas That's because they aren't lmao
I feel like I'm comparison they are missing some extra spice. but I'm a HUGE zombie fan. I'm but I'm here listening... lol
my 6 month old daughter enjoys this album :'D she gets happy when I sing Ghost to her cuz the songs are so melodic. we are here to enjoy some good music :3
This band got me studying Satanism and now I'm a proud Satanist. I want to start studying magic and using it to get the things in life that I desire
Nothing in the world is cooler than singing to your daughter!
Girl, dont wanna rush up things but
She is the Infestissuman
My respect goes out her
I sing He Is to my daughter, but she cries 😂😢
"the light belongs to the people!"
whoa, papa's based. working class hero
The Bass at the start is so badass
Right?! Every time I hear it I have this weird urge to fill my veins with pure diesel or something
@@Ashloup I would recommand not to
Listen to Schism by Tool that bass intro will blow your mind
@@Ironside0736 Tool rules!
yea!!!!!!!!
"From The Pinnacle To The Pit"
You have the power
You wear the crown
From the pinnacle

You wield the scepter
You wear the gown
From the pinnacle

It is a long way down
In your empire
They stare and frown
From the pinnacle

It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown

You stand your ground

It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground

Cheers mate. I'm a new Ghost fan and love the Satanic and Occult references, and sharing the lyrics has helped me appreciate the genius of the lyrics EVEN more. Thanks :)
🤘❤️
the light belongs to the people
Thank you!
I thought it was penance not independence
I cant imagine living without this wonderful band
True. Love them 😌
I don't want to either
The alchemy of music - turning base METAL into gold. The seething power is in their hands and comes through in the bass line.
One of my favorite thing about Ghost that the music is heavy and the vocals soft. Ghost is like absinthe; better with water.
Perfect comparison.
Timmy TurnUp Yeah I thought about it even before they released their song Spirit which is about absinthe. I was so glad when I heard that song! They rock!
+Number8 cool band, I'm sure you know who Chevelle is. Love how they approach dark sound with soft vocals too
MrUdell22 No I've never heard of Chevelle but I will check it out right now :)
take out the gunman, hats off to the bull, two of my faves, and of course the poplar " the Red" =)
Look! It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No, it’s papa Emeritus!
Lol
Wait! Now it's a Cardinal!
I'm not 100% if it was intended, but I like the double joke in your comment - as the asthetical style of the video is called Metropolis-art...
not all heroes wear capes, they dress like satanic popes aswell
I feel like the Papa emeritus calls the
City by the album
Tobias is a phenomenal songwriter. This is ridiculous. He's got it in spades!!!!! Pure talent. I'm 50 and have a strong disposition and understanding of music, but if I met Tobias, I'd be taken back. He's really got it. I'd say to him: "when are you going to write your inner Flash Gordon....Ala....Queen..?....???
"Hey wheres Papa Emeritus III?" "Hes doing his superman thing again."
😂 love this comment
"You will wear your independence like a crown"gave me goosebumps 😅
That is the whole content of the song. What they did to you defined you and you stand for it.
Me too. I could feel the crown/halo/Kundalini In a lot of his songs.
When he said "what's flat looks round" I felt that
GOOD
I hear 70s, 80s, and 90s, yet it sounds modern and fresh... that is brilliance IMO. Peace Ghostheads!
Much of King Crimson. Wasn't expecting that.
That bass tone is legendary.
The story of Lucifer's fall, the lyrics are genius.
And he got back up.
I am stronger than ever, and I stan these things called Anime and Metal
NoppeN Poor old Lucifer, he didn’t even do that much wrong tbh
@@supercool1312 He commited the cardinal sin.....He questioned the authroity of his (Psychotic) Father, and thought for himself. The biblical god punishes free will, yet calls it a gift.
@@Silent_Shadow right... Christianty is muck full of stolen and twisted ideas and then used to blashpemize Satan to hide the truth.. all lies . The real evil forces are such a fucking joke
The bass lines in this song gives me goosebumps.
same here
It gives me orgasms
Vicki Iero lol
+Vicki Iero XD
Yea, i play bass so i tried playing this, its when i realized i suck XD

Papa Emeritus is a Flat Earther confirmed.
thanks for ur service u a good bean and i love you also jasmine is crying it is good and the usual
Absolutely brilliant mercy bicoup
Lucifer. I didn't realize til I read your lyrics.
A lot of Metropolis-inspired visuals, which I am absolutely loving
Such a catchy chorus. Love how the last chord comes in a half beat early.
Metal has come full circle...
Full circle, but with a pentagram in the middle. How cool is THAT?!! :)
Using the old movies, juxtaposed with this song, to send a powerful message, of what Ghost is all about. Free your minds from all religion and Gods...and believe in yourself. YOU ARE YOUR OWN GOD.
Beautiful cinematic, artistic, creative, and never been done like this. We all must relish in this time of GHOST. What a beautiful band. Beautiful music. Beautiful message.
Thank You Papa III &TNG.
+Everett Savage Nailed it!
+mymoodead they use the Satanism as a tool. to beat people over their HEADS...to MOCK people..who believe..that their is a HIGHER BEING. I dont think I said hail satan..or anything like that.
THEY themselves DO NOT BELIEVE in a Satan. ..because then they believe in God as well. They use the Anti God...as a way..to male music..send a message
about RELIGION. .and the silliness of it. YOU are barking up the wrong tree with me. good sir.
Im not a pimple faced kid behind a computer screen.
I am not suffering from cognitive distortions and blindly following this band. I rather made a very EDUCATED observation On what Ghost is doing.
You may choose to try and correct a stranger if you wish.,as it only eludes to something lacking. And not from me....and if YOU actually believe there is a HIGHER BEING..than you are part of the blind. in my opinion.
+Everett Savage Are you aware of how much of an elitist you sound like? Because you totally do. People can believe whatever the hell they want to believe. Just because they don't all agree with you doesn't make them a problem. Atheists are just as intolerant as religious people in exactly the same way: "Think like I think or you're wrong."
+BestWayKilla I am aware that I am not the best at articulation of words. i definitely am no elitist by any means. I never poked a word at anyone..until I was commented on..so I replied in kind. I recall saying believe in yourself. ..and that I am anti religion. Atheists are on another level. My original post, was a viewpoint about the video...it seems that there are those that want to say something about my words. which is fine...but I never said..believe how I believe.
I believe in Science. Thats it. oh..and Love Ghost.
You may choose to jump on my words..and say what you wish. I only wish..for the world..to see the Universe that I see.
We both love Ghost, that we can agree on. I am not religious myself, but I'm not an atheist either. I just find that calling people who believe in God or a higher being a "problem" isn't warranted.
I'm getting some serious Metropolis (1927) vibes from the video, but the music is just... DAMN... so good.
Susann Calvert the archival footage is from the 1930 pic “Madam Satan” by Cecil B DeMille! Although I think the subtitles in this music video have been altered? I remember Madam Satan being more of a romance/domestic drama (set on a blimp!)
Actually the Meliora cover art is inspired on the Metropolis one
@@hannahrule2192 Thanks, I've been looking for that information with no success until I saw this comment.
Try the music video for radio gaga by queen. It's a love letter to the film
@@GuruGuru-mp5cu thanks for the suggestion! It's an old favourite of mine, but there is never a bad time to indulge in a bit of Queen!
The way he says from the pinnacle to the pit is addicting
That bass is delicious
+Shogun Seva listen to the intro with speed 1.5....orgasmic!!
+Ulysses Barbarroja This actually sounds good sped up.
Descarabia Dehtanin so is being 69th like
Descarabia Dehtanin i roasted my woofer giving a demo at a sound competition with this song
and not really chewy
Ah, after 3:57 the artwork for "From The Pinnacle To The Pit" on the album makes sense now.
Ghost has been my 2018 new band/music discovery. Thank you RUclips. Ghost are luring me in. Hard to resist their music.
God i used to listen to them as a kid but never knew the band name- now I'm do damn happy i found this band again, god the nostalgia hits hard
that bass tone is literally unbeatable
Omg the bass though
And he left the band :o(
NotReallyaPlanet He didn't leave the band, he's on guitar now for the guitarist who went missing/left for an unknown reason. And to take his place is the new female bassist. Water = New Guitarist, Omega = Missing? New bassist = A female
Just saw them live... the new chick TEARS IT UP with this song. Does it proud!
Dravenousone1 Is Omega really... gone ;(
Not gone, just moved to a different position in the cult.
Wish Dio was alive to see Ghost. He’d love this. RIP RJD
I know he would love this... 😟
He probably would've been featured on a couple of songs by now and they would probably be fucking badass. I think it's time to jam some Dio, Rainbow and some Heaven and Hell now.
In the year 1230 A.D. HOLY SHIT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS DEAD
"You are cast out from the heavens to the ground, Blackened feathers falling down."
Months later, this chorus gets me every time.
Thats how the bass should sound in any metal song.. is just hipnotazing!!
Hypnotizing 😂 sorry I’m a grammar nazi 😂 You’re right though , when it comes to ghost the music is completely and totally hypnotic. It’s enchanting and an everyday necessity to hear. I ❤️ ghost, every time one of their songs is on I can’t help but turn the volume up & enjoy it they are my favorite.
Except for Maiden, they have their own bass thing going on ;)
Metal bassists sucks, they have no creativity and only follow the guitarists. This is the main reason I like Ghost
listen to some KoRn is some of they're songs bass has main riff i would say
check out the omnific it's just two bassists and a drummer
Had a chance to see them live with Iron Maiden let me just say ghost is amazing live. Papa Emeritus has amazing vocals with good range. I would highly recommend you see them live for reals.
I will if they ever get off their asses and come to Australia
I love that turn at around 1:40! Such an addicting melody
“The Light Belongs to the People!”
Love it.
There are no words to express how awesome this is.
hybridamerica Agreed!
1,075 people disliked it, guess they have bad taste. Ghost are great!
They are obviously idiots.
1087 !
EQ-smoove No. Kiss sucks. Ghost is great.
Exceptional use of 1930's Expressionist Art iconography.
art deco
Is the art basically Metropolis (1927)?
@@gileee Looks just like Metropolis right! Also has Madam Satan in it too from Metropolis.
@@Callumpy it’s almost a shot for shot of the metropolis trailer
It's actually from the movie called madam Satan. Look it up!
Empowering...
When I'm struggling through myriad tribulations, feeling like I'm alone in my fight, this song reminds me of a message my father taught me well: To be independent. There is power that independence brings which this song reminds me to call upon in my darkest moments...
This could be the best band today. Hard ass rock and guitars. Awesome vocals. Killer organ and sound. Excellent writing and stage show. Insane how good.
That chorus is legendary. Orgasmic. :O
He's. A. God
Yes.
*Devil
blackened feathers falling down
that's so true
That exhale and rise at 3:12!
Magic moment right there.
super wheels Yeah, only here Papa saves the people from the enslavement the oligarchs caused: "The light belongs to the people". A nice little socialist tip of the hat; gotta love Sweden.
@@jonnymiller7653 I would have never made the connection. I kinda thought that this song was about Satan. "Blackened feathers falling down" "you will wear your independence like a crown" like how Satan the "archangel" had "fallen" from Gods grace and is now reigning "independant" in Hell. I KNOW it sounds all so EVIL, BUT, Ghost does sing about Satan, and kinda glorifies him because sometimes, MANY times the church is full of lies and hatred. I love Ghost but I don't worship Satan, I am NOT sure IF there IS a God vs Satan situation anyway. If this makles NO sense, sorry I've been having a bit of Vodka tonight.
In Gnostic myth, the judeo-christian "god" is actually a being known as Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, a false deity that usurped creation from the true Creator and claimed that it was the one true god. Satan is actually an entity called Satanael, an angel that rebelled against Yaldabaoth by unmasking it and revealing it to be what it truly is, casting the christian lucifer in a much more positive spin. Meliora's overarching theme is that of the void, an absence of god, and I think it's really interesting how they've combined that with Pinnacle to the Pit being about the fall of Lucifer alongside the idea that he's actually tearing away a false god's power. Wear your independence like a crown.
Absolute Banger . Ghost has really grown on me.
I love the Luciferian metaphor of somebody being chosen above the others to wield power equal to that of the powers that be, then casting himself from the highest heights and resurrecting after his destruction more powerful, bringing the power to the people. It's almost an exact replica of Samael's rise to the perfect archangel, his destruction of heaven, and his apotheosis through Hell. And it's done so wonderfully stylized and human. Well done! Bravo! Doing the devil's work.
I was looking for this comment
@@lilith4961 same
@timwins31 im glad theres people that get it and can articulate it
@timwins31 good job you get a cookie
@timwins31 Where would one learn of these things? What books, or writings would you recommend?
Metropolis + The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari + Ghost = fucking fantastic music video.
Great work, this video is just dripping with so much style I love it
"From the pinnacle, to the pit"
This sounds so good.
There are two kinds of people on Earth. Those who know Ghost is amazing, and the dirty rotten liars. This band is insanely good!
Perfect
I genuinely don't like this band haha. But recognise they're obviously talented I just don't dig the sound
Finally!!! Now Lets Make the Deus In Absentia Video
+erick santos yes, please!
+erick santos I like that idea!!
+erick santos NOOOOOO the worst song in the album by far, do the video from absolution
Metall Head The Worst song for me is Mummy Dust,That really sucks to me Dude
erick santos Its not good but no the worst for me is that song you say if the album end with Absolution are perfect, i respect your opinion
as a fan of classic films, I am in complete aw of how gorgeous this music video is, everything from the visual effects to the coloration of the film down to the actors and makeup used is 100% accurate and I honestly teared up the first time I saw this. For those who don't know of it and love this video you need to watch Metropolis, the movie this music video is based on and look at how well this was made.
I know its amazing
I always wondered if this was a movie. Thanks for info. This is an awesome song and video
The costumes and some of the scenes are inspired by a 1930s movie named Madam Satan
Antonia Stoyanova
Thank you for naming the movie. I might buy it on iTunes just for fun.
I thought the same thing when I saw it.Good to know I learned something in college.
He has such catchy tunes... they get stuck in my head all day. Those are my good days.
PLEASE COME TO DALLAS AREA !!!!
Idk how I made it here, but I'm glad I did. This is amazing stuff.
Great song, absolutely incredible and I loved the graphics! Very creative!

3:40 SUPER PAPA!
I love this video and the imagery so M-U-C-H!! It's based on the classic German silent Fritz Lang film: "Metropolis". Superb. The film is a masterpiece; and so is this song and video!!!
Best band out right now..
Also, why argue about genres. Metal or not who gives a shit. It kicks ass. The end.
These guys are respected by metal and punk royalty.There almost like a new age misfits.
Never thought of the misfits... Totally!
yeah they remind me of Grave's Misfits a lot for some reason
My thoughts exactly!
"They are like new age misfits" would be proper English.
actually since the misfits in this case is a singular noun being the name of a band, "a new age misfits" is accurate grammar
The bass in the beginning is just so tasty
Ghost are fucking awesome. Motörhead is my favourite band, I love metal, punk, death, black, classical and everything in between. Great to see a band like this. I’m 44 and think this is the most exciting band in a long time. We need more rock n roll showmanship and real rock stars
You sound like you could be my twin. Rock on.
Ghost i hope you hear this all of you. your music has touched me more than anything ive ever experienced, honestly i listened to you guys on the radio and hated you, then a week ago my girl made me read your lyrics and you touched my soul.. my girl amd i were bout to break up, then we found you and we are now closer than ever. In just a week you have blown my opinions on slipknot and lamb of god and tool who were my favorites out of the water. I cant express how much i appreciate your contribution to my well being even though you will never see this. From the bottom of my heart your music has changed my point of view from pessimistic in the fake glow of wannabe faith to shining the darkness amd acceptance of what life really consists of upon me..
sincerely, your now forever faithful child of Ghost.. sorry to be so corny but you have opened a new creaky rusted door i thought would never be ajar and shown me a new view on everything... darkness can be light even brighter than the sun. you must dwell in the shade to appreciate the day.
welcome
That bass is beautiful!
I don´t care if this is "pop" or "metal" or whatever... it´s cool music and I dig it!!
I remember when this was the first Ghost tune ever played over the radio. Had never heard of them and was blown away.
Just saw Ghost live and they were great. Tons of energy, funny, great effects, great crowd.
The line "You will wear your independance as a crown" is so freaking perfect.
It ''like a crown'' not ''as a crown''
02:37 I ALWAYS hear "Cruising your Go-Bots". Poor Papa's youth, couldn't afford Transformers..
That bass line is godlike
What the fuck did I just watch? It was incredible.
+Bryon Letterman ikr check out their song circe its good too
1:15 I like the idea that there are dozens of people just crowding around a pictures of frowns, hours on end, for entertainment.
Gets me through my work day. Have their albums on a loop 🤘
The bassy intro is amazing. I rewind the song every time just to listen to the intro again.
3:33 THE LIGHT BELONGS TO THE NORDS !
+Caio Bertola Why?
+Dhieen Skyrim
+Caio Bertola hail the stormcloaks!!
+WereSquatch Ghost are Nords bro, the elves got no place here!

When I first saw them live, it felt mezmerizing. Like, literally like I was getting hypnotized in some way. Amazing and powerful band.
8Biohazard5, I totally agree!!!! I was completely drawn to them! The lead singer seemed to have the audience completely under his mesmerizing spell;)) I totally can't wait to see them again in concert!!!!!!!
8Biohazard5 me to
8Biohazard5 so are you the girl who is in the cirice music video?
Saw them with Pinkish Black on a blotter of Deadpool acid. Mind = blown.
Best bass line ever, hands down
So is the video meant to represent Papa escaping from a corrupt organized religion to give free thought and power to the people, or just a Lucifer allegory? Or both? °_°
Those sound like the same thing to me.
Both
Both
Yes.
Okay, but are we going to ignore the irony of Papa Emeritus literally being a ghost?
that's what the name "papa emeritus" means
I think that means something more like "the one who deserves to be called Father". Papa is obviously the classic Pope figure and emeritus kind of means merited or deserved, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Just my guesstimate.
+Gås Productions In the traditional sense of the word emeritus means a person who holds a position they will retire from or a person who previously held a position but are now retired; such as an emeritus professor. I am unsure of the usage of the word beyond that. However, this definition is apt in this instance as well.
Papa Emeritus is a title in the Catholic Church. It is a person who was a Pope, but died, an ex-pope. I thought that was a well-known fact.
and the nameless ghouls are ghosts as well. ghoul is another word for ghost.
"You are cast out from the Heavens to the ground, like blackened feathers falling down. you will wear your independence like a crown"
I can feel that bassline scratching the inside of my skull
my dad took me to a Ghost concert 🫶🏼 was a good night indeed . i miss you pops RIP❤️🩹
this video, especially the subtitle font, as well as the setting, reminds me of Rapture from Bioshock
same here
Nikjojo the style is called art-deco, and Bioshock is set right at the pinnacle of the art-deco movement, so the city was built to emphasize that.
Justin Trottier so if BioShock represented the Pinnacle of the art Deco movement, does that mean that this music video represents the Pit?
Your Right man!.. Damn... As an avid gamer, Bioshock and Infinite hold a special place in my gaming heart!
Would you kindly subscribe and give a thumbs up.
Their words are just....wow😍 I can't express how much I love this band
I'm so glad I found this band. Their songs are so catchy and awesome.
The bass line in this song is SICK!
This band makes my soul complete!
I am deeply saddened that I've only taken the time to check out Ghost now! I've been missing out, to put it mildly.
I came to watch the music video for probably like the millionth time since it came out but this time was different. I've literally just finished watching Metropolis and wanted to see how much of the film I could see in the music video - quite a bit was my answer.
I really enjoyed Metropolis and that's saying a lot because films don't always hold my full attention so I was nervous about watching a silent film. It is a testament to the strength of the film that for two and a half hours I paid absolute and total attention to what I was watching.
I've a new appreciation for this video and for Ghost. Funny how even years later I can still find more to love about this song, video and band. I'm seeing them in a couple of weeks so if they play this song, I wonder if it will hit different than the last time I heard it live.
Also, man that frickin' bass?!?! I gotta get that learnt asap!
Super cool bass intro. This and Secular Haze are my favorites.
It looks like they've combined clips from various old movies to make this. I think the opening scene is one of those educational films from the 1950s about behaving in school.
Does anyone know what the scene starting 1:57 is from?
Love that opening guitar when it kicks in at ten seconds. That just sounds too good.
You might like the intro of Mezmer by Pinkly Smooth
+Josh Lukowicz I was thinking they sound a LOT like Pinkly Smooth.
+Chrysanths both have that eerie old cartoon sound
I hope I get to see them before I die.
When that bass drops I get goosebumps absolutely love it ..
