Could somebody please explain to me in detail what "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" is like?? And what their top albums are??

It'd be appreciated :)

Their music is based around long-building crescendos where more and more instruments layer on and build up to a huge climax. It often starts with a single guitar riff and adds percussion, bass, horns, violins, cellos, keyboards, voice samples, etc. Usually very dark, lonely and depressive in nature, although occasionally uplifting. Their songs are often segmented into distinct movements, causing one track to last anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour or more.

Their best album will vary from person-to-person but most people start with F#A# infinity. My personal favorite is Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven and their EP (which is far more digestible), Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada.

This is what a Godspeed You! Black Emperor song is like:


0.00---silence---4.30---cymbal---12.00---more silence---

--15.00---violins start chugging--21.45---guitar enters--37.03--

--drums and bass kicks in---46.40---the first melody is introduced---50.30--

--cellos enter---speed increases---ENTER THE TIMPANI!--

-59.34---heavier and heavier--now one more note on the guitar--

--74.00--CLIMAX--CLIMAX--CLIMAX--74.25---silence---95.30--

--more silence--146.06---the end

146.06 of pure awesomeness, exactly.

more like Sweasshole.

I dig them though.

gyboysz.

To watch or to play? It can be boring to watch if you're not into it but playing it is one of my favorite things to do.

GY!BE's pretty boring.

Yeah I only put em on when I'm studying or something. That's when I really enjoy their music, when I'm not really paying attention to it...

Even still, I will always love The Dead Flag Blues.
That song I can listen to all the way through and enjoy it.

This is a long shot, but does anyone have Biirdie - [i]Morning Kills the Dark[/i] in file form to send my way? I can't seem to find it on soulseek, and my copy is scratched to hell.

rolling stones tshirt ewwwwwwww

Other than that, I agree you shouldnt be having problems picking up the ladies.

I'm printing my EitS ticket right now :D


should be a great show, even if it is in march >.>

I'm one of those people that would have a problem with printing a concert ticket off my computer.

I have this thing about collecting ticket stubs :(

Shows get sold out so fast here though, I don't really have a choice :\

Sigur Ros sold out in 10 minutes, Sufjan in 5(after student preorders(he was playing at a university)). It sucks :(

I paid for Sigur Ros online the first time I saw them, but the tickets came in the mail.

I mean sure, I don't have ticket stubs for every show, but any show that I've had a ticket stub for, I've saved. All the way back to when I was 9 and I saw The Turtles.

Each ticket stub you have adds one to your hearing loss meter scale.

the volume at shows usually doesnt even bother me anymore.

Yeah, which means that you now have less sensitive hearing.

My friend usually wears ear-plugs at shows. I've been meaning to do the same.

I really want to go to a legitimate rave sometime. Where they play The Prodigy - Claustrophic Sting for hours on end. Bring water and glowsticks.

Yeah, I have permanent hearing damage because I'm a retard about things.

I wear ear plugs for openers usually.

I am honestly going to be deaf by the time I'm 30.

Do you know how many times a day I'm already going "what?" whenever someone says anything?

That's always a good plan to wear ear plugs for openers.

I find it so weird that a lot of kids here seem to only go to shows featuring well-known bands. To me, a huge part of my musical identity comes from seeing local and regional acts that are going nowhere fast.

I used to be really into that. I was such a big fan of one particular band in my town, and went to every show I could, which also got me into many other local bands.

But they broke up, and my friends stopped caring about local shows, and I just sort of grew out of it. I still go to the occasional show, and I'm thrilled when I find a local group that has some merit.

Fag.

my friend has more "mainstream" taste and he offers to drive so i go with him to 2,000+ shows with major-label bands

you gotta admit its a thrill to see famous people in person, but i also like getting excited at lesser-known bands. they play smaller venues and you can get close to em and maybe even talk after the show :)

yeah both types of show are great.

seeing NIN was just as fun as seeing Hot Cross

I need to control my emotions.

You like Hot Cross, pixiesfagyo?

hot cross is pretty ok

same here. the louder, the better.

i had a really f[FONT="Verdana"]u[/FONT]cked up nightmare last night.

I had a dream that my science teacher gave everyone in the class a giant hamburger at the end of the class. Then, when I walked out of the room eating said giant hamburger, I walked into a little kid marching band playing Kashmir.

Wow.

I woke up and was sick all over my room this morning....pretty fun. Think it was food poisening or something because I hadn't had much to drink :confused:

Same here, except I managed to get to a bathroom. It was horrible.

I woke up and saw a brand new pimple on my face. I think it is because I was masturbating last night. :confused:
