    Just now discovering this band for the first time here lately through some close friends. As a musician I can say these guys are on a whole other level. How they aren't the biggest rock band in the world is beyond me.

    • @marcliebowitz2558

      They should be what deathklock is in metalocylpse. The good thing is, they're always touring.

      @scruggsrox 3 года назад +6

      I know this comment is two years old. But I actually had the pleasure of seeing these guys live back in 2014 at Bonnaroo, I had chills so strong I had to feel if my baseball cap was still on my head. I hope that helps. These guys are phenomenal musicians and I think they are highly underrated…

    • @marcliebowitz2558
      @marcliebowitz2558 3 года назад +6

      @@scruggsrox I completely agree, but also, I think it's part of their thing. Even the band name, Umphreys McGee, sounds like the unassuming bloke who lives down the street and keeps to himself. I'm sure if their team spent more time pushing their music to the radio stations versus focusing on their live performance, they would be really successful. But, holy crap those live performances are magic in a bottle.
      Idk, I'm a huge fan, and I tell everyone that will listen these guys actually put on the best show, made even more impressive by the fact it changes every night. If you go to summer camp, you can see these guys play 9 hours over 4 days and never play the same song twice.

      They're not bigger because so many people have a hard time with extended jams. But man, I thank God for them. And the fact that I can still go see them in small venues is awesome.

    • @stevec4899
      @stevec4899 2 года назад +2

      Because so many young people these days think 4 mins of repetitive chunk-a-chunk with some crass rap lines over it is musical creativity. Just the bass passage by itself in this song is musical overload by comparison.

      Sounds like something that Justin Chancellor from Tool would play if he was more into jazz fusion than metal.

    • @wesXgrubbs
      @wesXgrubbs 2 года назад +1

      This bass line changed my trajectory as a musician when I first heard it. I used to think you had to play in scales no one has ever played in or come up with unique chords to stand out. Nope. You can play a 4 bar pentatonic riff for 4 minutes on loop and still keep people engaged if you really know what you’re doing.

    Similar Skin is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Not one song on this album could ever be considered a space filler. I hear influences from a life time of listening rock music in every song, while making each one uniquely theirs. Besides being great musicians they also are great songwriters. So turn it on! Turn it up! Let the whole album rock you!

    similar skin is the album of the year so far. brilliant compositions. amazing harmonies. heavy instrumental. creative as nature. like the beatles and chick corea.

      @marcliebowitz2558 3 года назад

      I think the criminal part is how few people have heard of them, but I think part of their persona is to be super unassuming, especially with their name and the fact their label is called "nothing too fancy music."
      Its 100% fancy.

  • @rickynappi2258
    @rickynappi2258 6 лет назад +16

    It's not like there's a book for this, or something you could read
    Cause I’ve looked around
    And I tried to fill these holes with other roles that I never learned to play
    It seems like they always falter, but how the hell should I know?
    Cause it always seems to disappear so quickly you can’t see
    Could somebody tell me, where does the time go?
    I’ve got a bigger pile of questions than really I could ever need
    There’s no explaining these
    I’ve never heard a word about the way we’re all received
    At least that I believe in
    And I know traditions tell it, it's different, they spell it all it out to be
    There’s no need to confuse me
    Cause I know what I know
    And if everyone’s all subscribed, to fictions that can’t be right
    Then spinning, we all collide one big typo this puppet show
    I’d usually begin this conversation differently
    I know it's kinda one sided
    It’s so obvious the answer is a question I believe
    That nobody’s asking, but what the hell do I know?
    If everyone’s so unsure of
    What's really below or above us
    Then maybe we all buy in
    And make our own collective end
    These puppet strings don’t pull themselves
    You're thinking thoughts from someone else
    How much time do you think you have?
    Are you prepared for what comes next?

      @anthonybranch4712 4 года назад +1

      Came here for Ryan Stasik's bass line (which is just SICK), and then got caught by these lyrics. Man! I hear the questions and longing for definitive answers in these words. (And the more-than-a-little-cynicism.) I DO believe, and I think it's a well grounded belief, but at the same time, the longer I live, the more certain I am that there's PLENTY I don't know and can't be sure of. Thank you for putting these lyrics out there!

      I'm really sorry about your partner. That's devastating. I hope that everything has been going as well as it can in your situation, and that you were able to find some peace in the end of her suffering.
      I dont want to be too awkward here, but if you're ever at any detroit shows, or summer camp, and need a friend to keep things light, let me know. Comminity is huge in this scene, and I'm positive that if I were in your shoes, the hardest thing to do would be getting back to concerts.
