I love how wata is just looking always so unimpressed. She's just laying down these awesome ear destroying riffs like it's nothing. It's just what she does.
no, Boris is NOT selling out, they do what they want, when they want - their material is all over the map. Their albums are all unique. The one thing they all share is being GREAT.
Just saw them last Friday in San Diego... they did the entire Pink album. It was amazing!!! The played The Casbah.. sold out/totally packed. Boris is superb live, totally exciting from beginning to end... do NOT miss them play the Pink album, it's worth any effort.
Saw 'em back in December. They were insane. During Just Abandoned Myself, Atsuo crowdsurfed and fell on top of me as he came back toward the stage. Takeshi held his bass/guitar over our heads at the end of the encore, letting us scratch at the strings to create even more racket. Wata smiled and bowed at us when it was all over. Best show I've seen in years.
How can she be playing that solo and having that numb expression on her face? Everything i hear it i just want to trash everything around me with a maniac smile on my face! This song is just too fucking perfect
Credit where credit is due. Not trying to insult them or the fans personally but THE PLANET??? I admire your passion though. You are the definition of a TRUE fan. I'll leave and let you young people have your youth. My apologies. I am prone to outbursts with no filter at times. I meant you no harm. P.S. EARTHQUAKER DEVICES. I LOVE YOUR PRODUCTS. I have 14 of them now and it is always a good day when a new one arrives. You guys bring happiness to the world and I just wanted to say "Thank you for what you do. You guys have no idea how much you are loved and appreciated. Keep up the good work. Your stuff is the stuff of legends and that is exactly what you will go down in history as. LEGENDARY. Thanks again.
I love how chaotic and noisy it is, yet the songwriting is so good that despite being in for most people foreign language it’s as popular in the west as it is. And the best part is if you get into this band, you’ll never have to worry about running out of stuff to listen to
I saw them at Lee's Palace on Thursday and it was honestly one of the most awe inspiring shows that I have ever been at in my entire life. They were so amazing live and pulled everything off amazingly. If you haven't witnessed Boris live and they are coming near you sometime soon, go check them out.
Wata as always is kicking ass And for anyone confused- Greg Anderson, who pretty much created Drone, has like 73 different bands to play the types of music he likes. You all are pouting because Boris decided to play different styles with just the one band?
This is the song that got me into Boris. A nearly identical version of this song can be found on their bandcamp under the "Variations" compilation they just put out.
watas representing her own style and personality, shes not gonna lie to you. Shes a cool calm hot chick that can shred a guitar. Besides the drummer has enough enthusiasm to cover the whole band, enjoyed the intro scream -> cowbell.
Got here googling bands similar to Sun o))), 30 seconds in and they've played more notes than an entire Sunn album. Absolutely not what I was looking for but still an incredibly welcome surprise!
Rock n' Roll died a long time ago, and then it was re-incarnated in Japan, when Speed,Glue And Shinki was born. Now there's Boris, and everyone between the two to prove it.
Engineer: So... how much wah and overdrive did you want on this track? Guitar player: ALL! E: ... all? GP: ALL! AND I ALSO DONT WANT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE TO HEAR THOSE OTHER GUYS WHEN IM RIPPIN' OUT THIS SOLO! GOT IT!? THIS IS GONNA BE COOL! E:well... You're always going to hear them a little bit...
yeah. that's why the band is awesome. look for the songs/records where boris is written lower case, those are the experimental ones, while the ones with upper case letters are basic casual 60s/70s hard rock whatever. Example: BORIS PINK (uppercase) and boris/SunnO))) Altar (lowercase)
Why do Boris Rule so? Just Awesome time after time. See them every chance I get, always incredible, always fresh and new. Each Album is something special, they reinvent time and again, but somehow still give you what you want. Just forget about the doubters and bask in the thrash and drone. Hail Boris. Hail Sunn 0)))
wow metalguy, your criticism so meaningful and well thought out I don't even know where to begin with a proper response! Just your one insightful line concerning the only song you've heard of Boris was so profound I have turned my back on their entire catalog. I hope to see your reviews elsewhere on youtube, thank goodness someone knows what they're talking about around here!
As a musician going through a lot of self-implied stress, this is perfect! Boris is a band always in the back of my head but I've barely heard them, besides (absolutego) but this make my day!!!!! :)
@thejesman I heard of this band because they named themselves after a Melvins song. I just thought "what the heck, why not?" Im listening to them right now and my jaw has now dropped through the floor!
oh come on there's always cool metalheads :P i respect your musical tastes, even though im huge into extreme metal. at least we have something in common, we both like Boris ;)
Yeah, just got back from the Hamilton show, too. I was really impressed with them live, though I've heard a lot of their stuff with Sunn. Really good stuff.
they do both man on the albums, if the band name is written BORIS it's a standard rock lp (like this song) if it's written boris, it's a drone/experimental album
*is jealous* - saw them last night as well. Didn't get a pick but we sat through practically the entire soundcheck so that was cool too ^^ (we were a bit early and my friend really had to go to the toilet, so they let us in so she could go and not pee her pants XD)
This is The Stooges meets Dianasour Jr......very very very BITCHEN n COOL!!! It's nice to hear stuff thats original and ultra mod rock mixed with a touch of psychadellia acid sound with out being too distorted aka..Sonic Youth. These folks are living to play and it shows. Hope they do well...I'll buy it!!!!
If you want drone from Boris, check out Absolutego. Amplifier Worship also has drone parts, but it also has a lot of progressive rock and stoner rock, such as this song.
There's two versions, you can check it on Wiki. I don't know for sure if the sound is initially different, but the Japanese version has been leaked, and I did listen, and Message (which in the American version is "Statement", AKA, this track)is FAR more different than this one. Slower, a bit heavier, thicker bass lines, and what not. I'm buying the American version, though, so yeah. I guess I'll have to see the differences exactly. I think this IS designed for U.S. release specifically.
@Alexanderunderthesea You have a Model T? Niiiiiiice, yeah I bet it would be. I've heard about Sunn's (the band) live act being shut down for being too loud before, and also that they don't mic up their amps, so I'd imagine it would be loud as all hell, I guess one would have to anticipate the impracticality.
@TheEnlightenedTruth well said. why do people insist on judging music like a math teacher, looking to see if all the 'necessary' steps have been met so a piece of music can be deemed worthy. Like you said maybe she could shred if she wanted to. who knows. who cares!?

I love how the band member's respective enthusiasm goes up from left to right when they're lined up like that.
Underrated comment
Lmao

It's kind of like Poison Ivy playing. No matter how off-the-hook it gets, keep a straight face.
@@caribman10 Exactly the vibe I get from her!
WATA is the reincarnation of Toni Iommi as an Asian woman. #WATAisIOMMI
Sometimes I get in moods that only Boris can express. Listening to Boris while in those moods is a beautiful experience.
Damn . I thought it was just me....😃🤘
Wata being in a zen state while shredding like crazy or while making heavenly distorted noize with her les paul is a sight to behold...
camera focuses on wata's hands: "whoa! she's totally shredding that guitar!"
camera focuses on wata's face: "whoa. she's totally stoned."
LA MEJOR BANDA DE METAL EN JAPON ....SALUDOS DESDE BARRANCA PERU

Boris - the most based rock band ever.
15 years ago this was considered selling out. Crazy stuff
@xEva02x I saw them live in Boston for this tour & it was EPIC & heavy as hell. They were supported by Torche & some local band.
They made a music video,so what? Who the flying fanciful fuck cares?
Psychedelic rock, Noise rock, Stoner rock, Drone music, Hard rock, Experimental rock, Neo-psychedelia
20 seconds in, ear-assaulting fuzzy solo. Love this band.
This is the first Boris song I ever heard. And when I first heard it, my jaw literally dropped. They've been one of my favorite bands ever since.
this is my first time ever listening to Boris
Just saw them last Friday in San Diego... they did the entire Pink album. It was amazing!!! The played The Casbah.. sold out/totally packed. Boris is superb live, totally exciting from beginning to end... do NOT miss them play the Pink album, it's worth any effort.
just did yesterday in sweden. best last-money-of-the-month ever spent

This could easily be an ad for Orange if you just took any random 30 seconds of it.
I think they did one with Wata next to the 3 amps
BORIS ROCKS!!!!! If you get a chance see them live. Wata shreds! Love her! Great band.
Saw them live last night with Melvins and was an instant fan
I've seen Boris twice but haven't seen the Melvins yet. To see them at the same show would be epic.
Saw them in a small club in San Diego it was packed!
I cannot believe they have been around 20 years and this is the first i have ever heard of them . They are amazing musicians !
Awesome song! I saw them live in Helsinki few days ago and it was one of the best gigs I've seen.
The coolest I think I have ever witnessed
日本人のほとんどが知らない最高の日本のバンド
+NeoT それな！つってもノイズロックとかドーゥム自体が大受けするジャンルじゃないからね。New AlbumとかAttention Please辺りの「ノイズ好きがノイズと感じる」アルバム手に取ってイマイチなJ-rockと勘違いしちゃう人がやたら多いのも理由の一つだと思う。

Boris still have it. This entire album is amazing, nearly on par with Feedbacker and Akuma no Uta.
Wata, Atsuo and Takeshi brought ME here.
Man that fucking riffs sound just like cats having a fight, really dope shit
That chick is a total badass!!! (the whole band is, but holy crap that guitar work!)
Wata is so frickin epic
Wata is the epitome of cool
Wow, who knew Bjork was such a talented drummer.
'Lol'
ahaha!
HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! :)
4 years later and it's still getting laughs
*Bjoris
超かっこいい

i love boris trying to sound like motorhead and 60's stoner bands at the same time. I just wish they'd make another funeral doom record.
How come I've never listened to these guys before? They're so kickass!
Its rare for a band to have a cd where every song is awesome and on this cd every song is awesome IMO.
Boris is sick, this bands got a lot of instrumental music thats just as good as their heavier stuff! their album Pink is amazing worth checking out!
love how ALL recommended videos are boris, sunn or earth :D
Lol at the people unable to withstand Wata´s ear piercing tone. It´s deliberate you know! Atsuo´s drumming is so amazing!
Got here googling bands similar to Sun o))), 30 seconds in and they've played more notes than an entire Sunn album. Absolutely not what I was looking for but still an incredibly welcome surprise!
Raze check out the Boris at last - feedbacker. It’s their more drone side
うわ、やばい！なんでこれ10年遅く知った？？もっと聞きたい！
Rock n' Roll died a long time ago, and then it was re-incarnated in Japan, when Speed,Glue And Shinki was born. Now there's Boris, and everyone between the two to prove it.
Hehe, this is just insane, I love it.
Engineer: So... how much wah and overdrive did you want on this track?
Guitar player: ALL!
E: ... all?
GP: ALL! AND I ALSO DONT WANT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE TO HEAR THOSE OTHER GUYS WHEN IM RIPPIN' OUT THIS SOLO! GOT IT!? THIS IS GONNA BE COOL!
E:well... You're always going to hear them a little bit...
the "sucks" guy demonstrates you can do something amazing and there will still be some some silly person who hates it for being different.
yeah. that's why the band is awesome. look for the songs/records where boris is written lower case, those are the experimental ones, while the ones with upper case letters are basic casual 60s/70s hard rock whatever. Example: BORIS PINK (uppercase) and boris/SunnO))) Altar (lowercase)
gotta love them orange amps.
drone isnt about how clear it sounds. Its about the chordal "drones" played over measures at a time. This is definitely drone metal.
Still THE sexiest band on Earth .
Why do Boris Rule so? Just Awesome time after time. See them every chance I get, always incredible, always fresh and new. Each Album is something special, they reinvent time and again, but somehow still give you what you want. Just forget about the doubters and bask in the thrash and drone. Hail Boris. Hail Sunn 0)))
Melvins brought me here
wow metalguy, your criticism so meaningful and well thought out I don't even know where to begin with a proper response! Just your one insightful line concerning the only song you've heard of Boris was so profound I have turned my back on their entire catalog. I hope to see your reviews elsewhere on youtube, thank goodness someone knows what they're talking about around here!
That tower made of Orange stacks looks menacing
As a musician going through a lot of self-implied stress, this is perfect!
Boris is a band always in the back of my head but I've barely heard them, besides (absolutego) but this make my day!!!!! :)
They've made an album with Sun 0)))

oh come on there's always cool metalheads :P
i respect your musical tastes, even though im huge into extreme metal. at least we have something in common, we both like Boris ;)
I just saw them live yesterday, best concert ever.
Wata has more facial expresions that Kristen Stewart
OFF TOP, MAN...🤝🏻
This is my new favorite thing.
FUCK YEAAAAHHHHHH...Wata is just tooooooo fuckin cool!!
This band kicks more ass than anyone could ever dream of.
Headbangers Ball from years ago brought me here.
Any of the old heads remember Headbangers ball?? Yeah that’s why I’m here!! We need something bad like that.

Yeah, just got back from the Hamilton show, too. I was really impressed with them live, though I've heard a lot of their stuff with Sunn.
Really good stuff.
searching Boris statement sucks now
Saw them last night. Life changing show for me, I'm still in an exhilarated daze.
Thom Yorke brought me here
+Victor Dinis me too
How?
just a small mention in this interview consequenceofsound.net/2015/11/thom-yorke-likens-youtube-to-nazi-germany-they-steal-art/
I'm here because the Jimmy Page/John Paul Jones looking double neck guitar.
Who the hell is Thom Yorke??
A dude that sucks
+Danfrombackhome No, you just have shit music taste. Then again, people with no profile pictures don't have great taste at all.
fuck Thom Yorke in the butt. his music sucks and is bleeps and bloops. And he ripped off a nick drake song note for note.
Jimmy H lol
Why are bleep bloops worse drone metal static noise
All of a sudden, Boris Statement means some guy in a blonde whig speaking at the parliament.
かっけぇ！
My brother just introduced me to Boris 🤟🏼
fuck, i am in love with wata.
Great Band ! & WATA IS SMOKING HOT !!!
Am I the only one who came here after seeing them live at fyf?
Watching the drummer cracks me up. The face expressions, the standing up and banging on the high hat, and all. LOL
it's called Marijuana :)
No histrionics with this lady for sure, just straight down, no nonsense, four to the floor, kick ass rock 'n' roll!
Noise rock
yes in some other tunes he use it. sometimes he switches in the same song. i saw them live for 15 bucks in montreal, great prestation.
Gonna see them in Denver 3 days! Can’t wait!!!
they do both man
on the albums, if the band name is written BORIS it's a standard rock lp (like this song)
if it's written boris, it's a drone/experimental album
great intro wow holy smokes the lady on guitar is nice player
Where are they now? Need them back!
*is jealous* - saw them last night as well. Didn't get a pick but we sat through practically the entire soundcheck so that was cool too ^^ (we were a bit early and my friend really had to go to the toilet, so they let us in so she could go and not pee her pants XD)

AWESOME!!! SEATTLE LUVS BORIS!!!!!
この歌が好きです

The lead playing is so different but I love it. Like screaming!
Great show in Budapest^^They ROCK!
