This is one of those moments at a festival when you don’t know the band but you hear this and go “what the fuck is this” then stay for the rest of the set
Agreed. Not very common. I can think of one I love though. A massive crowd in Rio singing along to Rush's YYZ, and it's an instrumental. It blew me away how into they were. All hopping in unison as well. It's on RUclips somewhere.
Absolute beast. i was there.It was 2011 and japan had been shook. Everyone wanted to let go of all that had happened that year. We came to Fuji Rock to let go and battles brought it

It's no weirder than Alex Van Halen and his half a dozen bass drums! You should hear the guy's playing on the rest of the Battles album. Very simple, but some of it is way outta left field and some of the monstrous 32nd note rolls he pulls out...savage.

If you listen to the studio recording of this song and read the lyrics at the same time you can't believe he's actually saying some of the supposed words.
They look like three upper middle class dads from the suburbs that met at Spin class and decided to start a weird experimental rock band after running into each other on the weekend at the local Whole Foods and chatting for a couple hours about PowerPoint presentations, adjustable-rate mortgages, and tax breaks from charitable giving.
For all Battles newbies out there, this is the 3-piece version of the band following the 2010 departure by head honcho Tyondai Braxton. They are now operating as a 2- piece and I was due to go and see them play in my home city of Leicester, but then came Covid-19. :-((

Bonnaroo 2008
when i'm 40 and have a midlifecrisis, this is the kind of music i wanna make with some buddy's in a garage.
I hope you can do better.
You’re gonna have to wait another 10 years, I checked your lab results
haha I'm already way past 40 and enjoying this sans any midlife crisis hahaha
I can be your buddy.
@Gus Vincenzo Yep, both of the accounts made 6 days ago seem to be in mutual agreement. Instagram is crumbling to pieces as we speak.
nice try tho :)
LOVE how the crowd cheer every change/progression in the song - I don't think I've come across that to this level before
I was noticing that myself. That said, it's one helluva performance.
The crowd really were there for music and music alone. Hiromi plays this fest and they cheer every possible bit of exciting turn in her music too.
Agreed. Not very common. I can think of one I love though. A massive crowd in Rio singing along to Rush's YYZ, and it's an instrumental. It blew me away how into they were. All hopping in unison as well. It's on RUclips somewhere.
I love how John just puts his head down and plows through it like a boss. So much fucking stamina!
I'm sore just watching him lol
My favorite song from Little Big Planet. Oh, and I've loved Helmet since i was a teenager in the 90's. Jon Stainer is one of my favorite drummers.
Stanier IS a genius. From Helmet to Battles, everything he does is hardcore.
Japanese crowds can keep time with claps holy shit
Marcus Dembinski Because they listen to the sound of one hand clapping!!!
+Marcus Dembinski In my experience it is ONLY white americans that clap on 1 & 3. Everyone else does 2 & 4 (which is obviously the right way to go)
+tostare i always clap in polyrhythms.
:D
+tostare Hahahaha, I've never noticed that! Rugged U.S. individualism, I suppose.
accurate
Discovering Battles has got me through the lock down.
Welcome.
Wild, same thing here. Just found em last week and I can't get enough!
This song is my childhood
They played Boiler Room Camden London just before the lock down.Tiny venue,it would have been amazing. Gutted to have not discovered them before that.
Same
Absolute beast. i was there.It was 2011 and japan had been shook. Everyone wanted to let go of all that had happened that year. We came to Fuji Rock to let go and battles brought it
I'm always blown away by how much of this song on guitar is just him playing hammer-ons, while he plays the keyboard with his picking hand.
thats the highest damn cymbal I've ever seen a drummer use
It’s because the dummer thinks that people use cymbals too much in music so has it that high so he’s not tempted to use it that much.
Aimee W
With the added bonus of it looking cool as hell!
He has a close low setup to use that cymbal is to release the cramp
@@kodysqaud3016 that's a lie. It helps with his back problems.
After having the week from hell this is the first thing to put a smile on my face ...
This is like a experimental rock dj set. So much groove. So danceable.
The most astounding and innovative music I have heard in many years.
Without exclamation marks - for emphasis.
Hey can I steal that last line?
Don't know for what. Maybe a song.
If it's for a song, yes...but credit me. Ha! :-P
That's how I felt when I first heard them.
You might like Cardiacs
wow
ニューヨーカーがロックで沖縄のエイサーを表現したらこんな曲になったみたいな素晴らしくノリの良い最高の曲
4:44 - 4:54 was so insane stuff, i would have never imagined a loop like that ever
Then awesome build
"Atlas" is a fantastic song, and this is one absolutely incredible live version of it. Wow!
the drummer is a human metronome, amazing!
stunning live sound. 21st century classic.
Today was my first time listening this song, and I think I need a Psychiatrist. I can't get this out of my head.
Have you gotten the song out of your head yet?
NOR SHOULD YOU ... KEEP IT IN THERE.
This is fantastic. I just wish there was a live version with Tyondai that had this great sound quality.
battles makes you invincible.
Muy muy pocas veces se me hace la piel de gallina con versiones en vivo y está ha sido de las que más me ha emocionado hasta ganas de llorar tengo (?)
It's crazy hearing this song live!!
[Lyrics]
People won’t be people when they hear this sound
Glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People won’t be people, no the people won’t be people when they hear this sound
Can you show me what begins at the edge of town
People won’t be people when they hear this sound
Glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People won’t be people, no the people won’t be people when they hear this sound
Can you show me what begins at the edge of town
The singer is a crook, oh way oh

People won’t be people when they hear this sound
Glowing in the dark at the edge of town
People won’t be people, no the people won’t be people when they hear this sound
Can you show me what begins at the edge of town
People won’t be people when they hear this sound
Glowing in the dark at the edge of town

Glowing in the dark at the edge of town
The people won’t be people, no the people won’t be people when they hear this sound
Can you show me what begins at the edge of town
You forgot the line “the chorus doesn’t matter” that comes after “the kitchen has a cook, oh way oh” bit
I've been singing this incredibly wrong for almost 10 years now
I remember that my elementary teacher show the class the music video in 2006 and I haven't heard it since today I was looking for it for like past 4 years and I tear up bc it brings me back so many memories when I was in elementary and know I'm 18 years old
Andrew Arellano This wasn’t even released in 2006 though?
That energy. So alive!
got chills when the vocals kicked back in after the breakdown
Is that the best drummer helmet ever had?
the guy from Betty?
I swear its him. That guy was so hip hop and bad ass.
He made that album...
That Is him
Yes, it's him. The man.
the greatest, John Stanier

As a percussionist myself, I can surely say that the drum set-up here is absurdly impractical. But I think that is actually the point. Heh.
Some real talent going on here.
He wanted his cymbal far away so he wouldn't use it too much, and also to look interesting
It's no weirder than Alex Van Halen and his half a dozen bass drums! You should hear the guy's playing on the rest of the Battles album. Very simple, but some of it is way outta left field and some of the monstrous 32nd note rolls he pulls out...savage.
I think we're all forgetting John played drum for Helmet in their creative peak
@@TheZooropaBaby No, we know exactly who he is thanks.
I can’t get enough of this video. I watch this at least twice a month. What an incredible performance and band. I love Battles
Para escuchar una y otra vez...
Stanier is a beast.
He really is a skin beater extraordinaire!
初めて見たけど、髭の人の印象が強すぎる。この曲が最大のヒット曲なのか？3日連続で見ている。やめられない。Brilliant! Really! They played great.
I so adore this band. Was lucky enough to see them in a small joint in New York shortly after EP-C came out. So much fun to watch.
Brilliant. I wish I was there.
Awesome performance.
Great memories!
ほんと、カッコいい
Fantastic!!!!

Nicee
masters of rhythm
I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU to anyone was there. You were magnificent.
Every time I hear this song, I start dancing like Ian Williams
Damn, they rocked this festival...
Stunning..
still love it!!
Absolutely epic
The drummer is so cray
最高過ぎる！オーエーオー！
The lyrics, hand them over.
"people won't be people when they hear this sound that's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town"

Beautiful playing. Love ya :D From Aussie.
This an awesome version.
an instance of a song where they do need to be doing allat
QUE MARAVILHA!!!!
The drummer is amazing
Interesting to watch them perform live. I dig it
If you ever get a chance to go to one of their gigs, go for it. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen
So much epic.
*cough cough *LITTLE BIG PLANET
BLIZZ2012 hell yea
YES
Is it bad that I discovered Battles via LBP? :P
@@OscarinofTime it was the same for me
$&#&×
he awesome
THX!
that drummer man......endurance is insane
Oh boy! They've also added a little bit of harsh music at the beginning of the track... marvellous!
7:25 Stanier looked so happy that that drum break was coming up.
so cool
Come visit to Japan this summer because battles will perform in Fuji Rock '16 and play this again!!
Can't, no money!
wow!
Even though Tyondai is now gone, they performed very well.
来年来るんですよね、知ってますよ
Superb. XO
I've heard a mashup of those two! It worked really well!
i was working and this song started playing randomly on spotify, is so catchy.
Still waiting for Battles and Silversun Pickups to go on tour and have a “Cymbal Off”
I’d pay $1000 to see that happen.
The Ian's mostacho gave that energy!!!!
Japan loves Battles from day one.
great drummer.
That was fucking awesome. Literally awesome.
Wooow, amazing!
clear lyrics this time.
Crazy 🤪🔥👽🤘
Still watching this.
Little Big Planet in my heart
Right❤❤❤
I love this song to play with my drums
how they regained epicness at 6:30 is beyond me, for such a long song. great band
They look like three upper middle class dads from the suburbs that met at Spin class and decided to start a weird experimental rock band after running into each other on the weekend at the local Whole Foods and chatting for a couple hours about PowerPoint presentations, adjustable-rate mortgages, and tax breaks from charitable giving.
AsTheSeasonsGray no, Stanier's played with plenty of other people. Mike Patton for one, they're just very talented dudes
thats a bit specific
i love this comment lmao
maybe so, but they deliver the goods, in spades.
Modern humour everybody. Cringy isn't it.
Esto es genial.
The combination of his mustache and his dancing makes me uncomfortable. I think I like it.
