If you can't ever make a Boris gig, I have a home made version. Put yourself in an enclosed space and light a lot of incense until the small area you are in is completely clogged with smoke and you can barely breathe. Put on a screen or torch which flashes lights in your eyes, making it impossible to see properly. If you're worried that you may have an epileptic fit, you're doing it right. Then, most importantly, put on some headphones, put on Boris, and jack the sound up to 20 (not 11. 11 is Spinal Tap fans. We're Boris fans and we crank it up to 20). If you are unable to think straight because your major senses are overwhelmed, all is as it should be. Enjoy being unable to hear, smell or see properly and just relax and let the wonderful experience take you.
This song is pure peak LSD ego obliteration. The first time I heard it, it completely swept me away. So much power here, these three are fucking magicians
Me too, I thought it was good for the first five minutes but then when the feedback section starts I was like "dude. Holy Jesus please be more than just a few measures!!!" And then with every minute that goes by I was like "no f*ckin way. Please don't end, this seems too good to be true, how is it still going, oh my god!!!", And then ten minutes into the song it's just like - you basically just sit in peak euphoria because it's everything you *wanted* it to be but also even better, because I had no clue what I wanted the song to be when the song started, I was loving the album already but when they first add on the layers of feedback I remember just being like "no friggin way dude YES. That is such a sick harmony but it's FEEDBACK." And it's even better because you know that Boris knew that you'd want more of it, so they just kept going for like ten to twenty minutes just for the people who want their ears to melt from a religious type experience. (I'm an atheist, but this song is the closest thing to a religious experience I can really thing can exist outside of if I decided one day to take some sort of psychedelic)
I have no recollection of how this entered my collection. Up until now I’ve never even seen the band. All I know is once in a while I crave jamming out to this amazing and unique piece. So distorted and cohesive at the same time. 10 minutes goes by too quickly. Can't imagine being here live for it.
I love boris but more than anything else in this discography yeah, this song is just idk man - it's so overwhelmingly intense. Even though I didn't even know the lyrics till half a week ago I've always felt like depending on what mood I'm in this song is either life changing, meditative, or just entirely existential. It's so perfect
The thing I've always loved about this song is how it distills the whole of mid-period Sonic Youth into 15 minutes...and like "Sister Ray," it's basically two chords.
@@f67739 The last song on Washing Machine is probably the closest thing they have to this, not in the tempo of the song but it also goes into a sea of noise for lengths of time, it's called The Diamond Sea, personally my favourite Sonic Youth song
@@geodadi1969 Interesting, and not by order of release: Sister-Evol-Daydream Nation-Goo is the period of brilliance I am most drawn to with Sonic Youth. I fully understand the love of Dirty-Experimental Jet Set-Washing Machine--Murray Street grouping as they are Sonic Youth in a period expressing just how great of a band they are, but there is perhaps the nostalgia aspect for me when it comes to Sister-Evol-Daydream Nation-Goo. Ah, being a music fan is often with it’s happiest of challenges. Boris does challenge and yet are also quite listenable in any mood since the mood changes song by song in many cases. We all do love some Sonic Youth time to time. Dirty Boots was featured in a Hal Hartley movie in such a way that all one could do is ... smile. I think the song was Dirty Boots, it was a long time ago.
This might be the best psychedelia we as a species are ever going to get. I love that you can see them all clearly at the beginning, but by the final drone they're all engulfed in this unbelievable blaze of color. Also that final drone is ego-death-inducing and I will be listening to this if I ever do acid.
I keep watching it back... He doesn't catch the stick. It actually teleports out of existence and then instantaneously back into his hand. Clearly he is a wizard of some kind.
I don't think it's a stick flip, he just whacks his cymbal really hard with a whipping motion, which makes it seem like the stick twirls for an instant. His black outfit and the fog also obscure his arm and hand.
Looks we all agree here that this set of PINK live is above all else of the time. Adulation for Waka abounds! Such great control and ease of performance surpassing all the rest. Yeah, and I thought Sonic Youth of the Evol, Sister and Daydream Nation was the best sound and guitar on the boards.
Can someone help me understand what I am hearing. It seems like when the drums stop Wata and Takeshi are just playing just two cords and Atsuo is making noise with some small box. But I hear a guitar feedback loop as well? And how does the noise and the loop and the music all stop at the same time?
Guitar pedal man. Loop pedals work where you can loop it by pressing one side ans then the other side turns it off and on. They use delay a lot too though
Wata uses a loop pedal, she loops her own playing when she uses an e-bow for the high-pitch drone before the drum stops, turns the loop on and continues to play power chords. Atsuo's credits on some albums is "feedback conduction", same as in the merzbow boiler room. Guessing maybe he is running the band's own signal into total distortion within the box. No one can really know how they make noise exactly
@@loveliescrushing: Funny you should mention it, but I almost didn't use "circa" for that VERY reason, but I was in a hurry and besides, how often does anyone EVER get a response on a 3 year old TH-cam comment? I literally NEVER use the term, so, if you can find another example of me using this embarrassing piece of Rolling Stone jargon ANYWHERE, there's $100.00 in it for you.
Probably using rented gear as it can be super expensive to ship the bigger pieces of kit to Australia. Most bands touring Oz tend to rent PA and drum kits and wotnot.
I'm 61 yrs old. & listen'ng to Boris. This is why music is art. ❤👍
Me too!! Rock the elders 🤟🏽
I'm 67 and Boris are my favourite band by a fair margin!🙂
Absolute legend, rock on man!!!
Atsuo is the greatest hype-man since Flavor-Flav
Indubitably so….. ❤️🔥
Wata*
Man, Wata just makes everything she does so effortless.
I love how Takeshi just gets completely consumed in the pink fog as the song begins. Fantastic
The drummer? That's Atsuo.
oh never mind

Glad I'm not the only one that combines strong LSD trips with Boris. It just hits perfectly.

This performance is PEAK Boris! What an incredible stage show with the lights and smoke. Sick footage as well m8.
@JoBro true!
I saw Just Abandoned Myself live too, in 2016, in Moscow. It was so good that I'm still shocked even now. Just great🙏
Hey choco pro friend 😃
@@stefanomilano6925 See it! Live it! We are ChocoPro! 🍫 Hey Buddy! 👋
Great track to wash dishes to
I've been to Sunn O))) concerts and Boris concerts.
Boris is louder.
To the person who uploaded this video: THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH.
Goddamn this song is so fucking legit - there's so much to enjoy within the space of 15 minutes. The beat switch @8:03 gets me every time.
Fucking unreal moment.
My eye's are full of tears because of so less views. Wtf is happening to people?? This is an awesome band
Mainstream society doesn't have a fucking clue.
Same here man.. Such a great, great band. And barely known. Happens to the best I guess..
It's because of the mostly niche genres they cover and they don't sing in english.
@@Remedy462anyway that's a cool thing after all
how do you even control feedback like that and that well? it’s perfect. wata is just incredible. i love this band.
shes using an ebow
Keeping the whole atmospheric sound even live, not many bands bring that production when playing live.
They sound amazing live. Great musicianship.
the visuals are just crazy
Why is it that I don't like drone metal, but the last 4-5 minutes of this is just pure, annihilating bliss?
somehow a Les Paul Custom guitar has the ability to make anyone look badass.
This is perfect.
I'm so happy I got to be there in person
I wish i was there
I wish I was there so bad..
I cried to this video
absolutamente momento magico
CHILLS
daaaaamn!
Wata is a badass. And she fucking knows how to use that ebow
Huge

Ha ha, some people think they listen to "heavy" music...but haven't heard Boris.
i
woof!
FUCKIN' A!!
reminds me of Russian Circles a little bit
Just add Wata.
Has Kim Thayil ever said that he's been influenced by Wata? Because he has.
If I may direct you to Prince Rupert's Lament from the King Crimson album Lizard, circa 1970.
saying circa doesnt make it any more cooler

@@aarcvault908 smd
What happened to atsuo, he's looking a little more androgynous than usual
He's just vibing
iirc in japanese culture androgynous is beautiful which is awesome imo
@@shelby6895 it is awesome
Never thought I'd see Takeshi playing without the Sunn's
Probably using rented gear as it can be super expensive to ship the bigger pieces of kit to Australia. Most bands touring Oz tend to rent PA and drum kits and wotnot.
God I wanna see boris live so fucking bad
A Promise yes
did you ever get to?
