Voivod - Jack Luminous (Complete song)

- Montreal's Voivod has long been heralded as an innovative and visionary force within the world of extreme music. For more than 25 years, the band has performed Heavy Metal alchemy by fusing various strains of thrash, punk, hardcore, progressive, and psychedelia to create some of the most engaging, provocative, and, oft times, surprisingly accessible music of their day. Founding members Denis "Piggy" D'Amour (guitar), Denis "Snake" Bélanger (vocals), Jean-Yves "Blacky" Thériault (bass), and Michel "Away" Langevin (drums) started out with the concept of the Voivod, a futuristic warrior/overlord whose exploits would be chronicled in the band's lyrics and artwork -- the latter of which has been created solely by Away. Over the course of their 12 albums, Voivod has pushed its musical sci-fi story to the end of infinity and re-emerged, reinvented, and revitalized itself countless times over and remains a respected name in circles where quality music and ideas, not gimmicks and trends, are held in high esteem.

Lyrics :
Listen! Listen to me! Can't you hear me?!!
Listen! I beg of you!!
I have escaped the one who rules deep in space
He knows my name, I know his game
Now that I'm here, he will know where I am...
And he will get you too!!
And he will make you believe whatever he wants
Inside your brain, he'll play his game
Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe/whatever he says... whatever he says...
I'm no preacher, I'm no space cowboy
I'm no flash in the pan!!
Don't you know that you have another thing coming?
You are not safe, here in this place
Are you aware you face your lat dead line?
I am here to warn you... President X-D will be on your TV
Electron waves, a pixel face
Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe/whatever he says... whatever he says...
You will never switch him off, when you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff, he's well organized
He gets around...
Listen to me, it's not easy... to let you be
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away
My words are clear, we can't stay here... what do you fear?
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away
You, people of this world, be prepared to greet Me
You, people of this world, you will submit to Me!
Deep into my third eye, you are getting sleepy
Deep into my third eye, now you belong to Me!
Now! Is the time, together we can change this place.. for the.. better
Now, focus on my voice, will you do it for me?
Now, focus on my voice, yes you will do it for me!
I'll give you everything, but you must come to me
I'll give you everything, but you'll have to join me!
Now! Is the time, together we can change this place.. for the.. better
You will never switch him off, when you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff, he's well organized
X-D is coming... the sky is changing
X-D is coming... my head is spinning
And what about Hydra, Sirrah, Pollux and Gemma...
Diadem, Bellatrix, Mirach, Izar...
Lies are what we once knew, time to live something new, hey hey
We can no longer take things for granted
We can no remember what we wanted, hey hey
We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore, he is what we're living for
We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore... not anymore...
More than tears fill my eyes, as bright ships dot the sky
More than fear is in sight, as moon and sun stand by... and cry
So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends
X-D is now in control, making plans for His new home
Fate lights me from within, to the stars I'm fleeing
Earth heeds not my warning, forever sleepwalking... dreaming
So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends
Maybe one day, time will tell, I'll be back and break the spell...
I'll break the spell... break the spell... - เพลง
This might just be my favorite song. I have a lot of songs I call masterpieces. But this is the one song that's been stuck in my mind for months ever since I first heard it. No matter how long it's been. This song has grabbed me unlike any other song has. Every other song that I've considered a masterpiece. I get it stuck in my head once and a while for a few days, but it always goes away. Not to mention it's usually just one or two parts of the song in my head. This song has never left and is still living rent free in my head. And almost every section of this song has been repeated in my mind multiple times. This might just be the true masterpiece of them all. All the praise to Voivod here.
agree 100%... when you see or hear about a "17 min" song you almost want to roll your eyes.., but this makes it seem like a 6 min song it goes by so quick and so amazing... I want this to be the next you tube reaction sensation... it is too damn good for people to not know about it... there is so much retro reactions this deserves a listen from any metal/rock fan... piggy was at his peak here (RIP)
Scientific article.😂
Sounds great 🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am hearing Dream Theater too
Such a killer album, start to finish, a prog metal masterpiece!!
What happens at 5:20 is glorious beyond words.
🤘🏻😏🤙🏼
Voivod is fucking amazing. I have been a fan since I was 16. They are the inventors of psychedelic metal
Absolutely!
I love these new doom psy rock bands emerging today, but never forget the roots
Its like a mix of Megadeth, Rush, Tool and Van Halen....some next level music
Piggy is beyond comparison.
Tool is caca!
Good description
You can easily tell that Tool listened to this song when they wrote 7empest, as 7empest seems to quote it in areas.
Tool can't touch Voivod at all though, Voivod are GOAT
Also throw in Genesis
9:56 - 11:10 Going from that short more traditional Rock & roll solo and fading into those dissonant ascending chords is eargasmic and pure Metal bliss to my ears. Not the most complex part, but talk about knowing how to mix your guitar leads and rhythms to create a mindblowing piece .I dont think ive heard anyone more adept at creating "out of this world" soundscapes like Piggy. Im facinated more and more by this mans playing. RIP
It’s the highlight of the song for me. The texture is so sexy.
What a masterpiece! It's pure art! I bought the album in 1994 and listened 1 billion of time. This songs contains everything!
A masterpiece. Progressive metal that, despite being 17 minutes long, doesn't overstay it's welcome. I've walked by this album a few times at the record store, but after listening to only this song I won't walk past it again.
Quite possibly my favorite song of all time...
Total masterpiece.
Bass guitar is so loud,excellent!👽
The best Voivod song.
Nothingface and The outer limits are fantastic records.
This was the only band I would call comic book metal. Listening to the song on this album was like a comic story, and even the booklet had pictures to go with it. The band did all the artwork themselves. Voivod was bad ass.
I would have called it dystopian space opera metal. Especially this song. It's almost not even a song anymore but one of those 1960s BBC drama readings, just with more music
MASTERPIECE
MONSTERPIECE
MUNSTERCHEESE
And fucking how. Incredible genius.
One of the most unique prog bands ever. Still relevant to this day.
This is my all time favorite song......
might just be mine as well. canadian genius.
16:12 is so catchy, it amazes me how many fantastic melodies Voivod has managed to write throughout their career
I used to listen to an internet radio show in the early 2000s that was all prog, all the time. The host of the show was a guy called Jack Luminous. Great track BTW. It's the type of prog/metal I wish Rush would've done.
One word: EPIC!!!
beau, tout simplement. merci Voivod!!!!
So glad I got to see them on this tour in a tiny bar in Houston. Amazing show, and they were tripping balls when I talked to them afterwards.
Surprised this doesn't have more views. Definitely one of my favorite songs.
Best riffs ever?
Perhaps, man, perhaps...
5:20 yes
7:44 yes
Absolute genius
Wich one Ray
getting chills as i listen to this... that guitar style, sound and tone... crazy time sigs, too... gets kinda Rush-y here and there
No replacing Piggy. That guy had a sound all his own.
@@Maddogg-hg5me Dan Mongrain isn't a great replacement?
Absolutely no disrespect to the fantastic Denis D'Amour, but Chewie _is_ pretty much Piggy - _and_ a very competent singer as well...
@@d5uncr I mean no insult to Dan at all. He's great for Voivod and I've enjoyed every album that they've recorded with him on guitar. All I'm saying is that no one will sound like Piggy and Dan will be the first to admit that. What's great about Dan, though, is that he grew up a Voivod fan and he understands the band and the sound. He won't replace Piggy but he is more than worthy to carry the torch.
@@Maddogg-hg5me Yeah, Piggy did indeed pioneer/invent this particular way of playing thrash metal guitar, in a way that pretty much no one had ever done before.
Chewie has, with great excellence, taken up that fallen torch _and_ has added the backing vocals, which I think is a big part of many Voivod songs.
@@d5uncr Chewie is brilliant. Comparing is irrelevant.
Piggy was and will always be beyond the Outer Limits.
Good lord what an epic track! I absolutely love this record. Hard to believe that it’s 30 years old.
I was telling a friend that our very first CD was The Outer Limits from Voivod. So of course I had to go to youtube to see if there's anytthing here. This is GREAT. Haven't listened to it in many years!
Oddly enough... This is my favorite song from my old- school favorite band.
Hense the profile name
Could you and I possibly be related?
Cool name👍
THIS IS A TRUE ORIGINAL BAND
I can rest peacefully for the rest of eternity since I already seen them, been there, done..
An Epic MASTERPIECE!!🤘🖤🤘
Thanks for uploading the full version, Steeve! Weird Canadian metal forever!
This one those long pieces that doesn't drag on forever with droning, looping and repetitive riffs.
The word "Masterpiece" is and has been recurrent in comments. This simply means this song is a masterpiece 🎉
Proud Québec Metal!!! Devil Man!
Has anyone else noticed that the section starting at 6:40 is a direct homage to Van Der Graaf Generator's "Man-Erg"?
Completely ! "How can I be freeeeeee ?, How can i get help ? "
Piggy likes quoting parts from other bands / composers
Yeah I hear it. VDGG is one my favorite prog groups. Voivod is now one of my favorite progressive metal bands.
I feel like this whole band is a Metal version of Van der graaf generator
@@AwakenTheGuardian WHOA!
th-cam.com/video/ddD9lAdUK3c/w-d-xo.html (1974 MAGMA!)
14:35.....sounds like it was directly borrowed by Piggy in VOIVOD!
vs
11:12
above!
What's crazy is I randomly put Luminous on for the first time in ten years, and then an hour later I randomly had MAGMA in the background..... and the similar part JUMPED OUT AT ME!
I have the cassette and 3d glasses...found at a thrift store a few years back...
Me too.. had it since the release
coool
I have the cd with the 3D glasses too!!
Same for me
i miss Piggy :¨(
Patrick Beausoleil I miss big Steeve
His life was too short.
100% agreed.
But Dan "Chewie" Mongrain is at least on par with Piggy when it comes to playing and composing, _and_ he adds great backing vocals to the live performances as well.
Now I understand the concept of Miss Piggy
@@d5uncr We ALL love Piggy!
But I gotta say Chewy does Piggy BETTER than Piggy, which should be impossible.
Chewy should be TOP FIVE METAL GUITARISTS currently alive!
I wish they'd re-release TARGET EARTH with a NEW LP cover cuz that one is horrific!
their most epic work epic and thats saying something .! love this track
Voifloyd!
Voivod aren't from Montreal, they're from Jonquière, Québec (lâ lâ côlisse)
Ak3r0n en plein ça tabarnak
R.I.P. Piggy
R.I.P. Steeve Hurdle
Yeah
I still have my 3D glasses to view the cd cover and booklet appropriately. And that's all I yem a sayin'.
Untouchable!!!! VOIVOD are masters at what they do.
"I'm no preacher, I'm no space cowboy
I'm no flash in the pan!!
Don't you know that you have another thing coming?
You are not safe, here in this place
Are you aware you face your last dead line?
I am here to warn you, President X-D will be on your TV
Electron waves, a pixel face"
Soooooo sadly underrated...
You need approval ? Everybody should feel the way you do ?
complètement capté!!du renouveau...c ça leur force!!en plus des accords dissonants...genre dead k...et plein d'influence!!c du voivod!!
This song would be a great soundtrack for a 1950s sci-fi movie.
Or you mean that this song should be adapted into a scifi movie, as it already tells a galactic story about the title character
@@sonder152 Yeah that's crossed my mind a few times.
I still have the original cassette for their album The Outer Limits, pictured above, that this song is from, complete with fold out art work and 3 - D glasses.
I had the cd!!!
This album is eternal
I had that!!! I wish I still did. Such an amazing band, album and song.
Badass
Master Piece
11:12
This whole section is just the greatest piece of music ever.
th-cam.com/video/ddD9lAdUK3c/w-d-xo.html
WHOA! 14:35.....sounds like it was directly borrowed by Piggy for "Luminous"!
vs
11:12
th-cam.com/video/afH7ByUeWpY/w-d-xo.html
It starts at 10:54 for me. Then, the part you're talking about is the beautiful calm before the storm that starts building at the 13:30 mark, until you get the Godzilla/Alien attack guitar sound that starts at 13:49. THAT is the part of this song that has been embedded in my memory for almost 30 years. But you need the whole song to give that part it's power.
Best band.............EVER👽
2:02 Is the greatest buildup to any song ever.
Now that I think about it, pretty sure this is where devin townsend got a lot of his sound from
PROGRESSIVE METAL FOREVER
also addicted to 5:20. my god
I still have the little 3D glasses 😀
superbe album!!incompris...moi...capté!!
CAPTÉ
Donald Luminous
Wait, wait, Donald is the President.
Brutal. Amen
11:11 is something else. 11:52 is my weakness.
Going to see them in an hour in SF!
How was it?
@@blipyo1729 awesome! still haven't seen them since that show, the venue isn't even around anymore
Masterpiece
None more epic.
ALMOST "none more epic". This is among my top few absolute most crushing epic songs ever, "Jack Luminous." Ultimately, however, the following song sits at the TIP top, and will reign forever, and we WILL praise him!!
th-cam.com/video/d-dd4fMUhAY/w-d-xo.html
Carrying on the legacy of King Crimson.
Jack Luminous: President X is coming!!
Humans of Earth: oh my, how do we get away from him?
Jack: oh didn't think of that.
Humans: thanks jack
President X: hey gurl, hey
Jack: later gator
Humans: thanks jack
yes. yes!
Damn I miss Piggys ability to make a good song. Our planet is missing a good thing.
I never saw him perform live.🥲
He is a massive inspiration to me.
Love Piggy!
BUT......I'm sorry to say CHEWY does Piggy BETTER than Piggy.
(Target Earth is arguably their FINEST record overall! TOO BAD it has the worst LP cover ever!)
YES!!!!
Their best album. Except Nothingface, Angel Rat, Dimension Hatross......
This album song always reminds of the invaders
Jackluminous: You listen to Rush, Zeppelin, Floyd, Krimson and most important VOIVOD! Btw Jack issnt dead, he is just scanning the Multiverse with Piggy.
I just read Denis had said that he patterned a lot of his playing in this song after Keith Emerson. Awesome.
Please come to NZ Voivod!
Yeah man, it's like metal meets mosh in those years. I remember dimension hatross years ago . Been listening to them for almost 30yrs.love the angel rat and outer limits years and u.f.o. stuff.
Come to south Florida damit
That vocal bit around 10:00 reminds me of Gentle Giant.
I think this one went over the heads of even most prog rock fans.
HAIL PIGGY
6/8/22 sono sotto il palco dei Voivod!
RIP Piggy
Happy Metal!
holy fucking shit damn
Fucking wow
The end riff sounds like phobos.
quelle aflux d'oxygène...c'est un album...incompris..moi,j'ai compris..avangardiste!!!
Best prog metal tune of all time??? Definitely gives Mastodon a run for the money (it's a contender, against even masterpieces like "Hearts Alive", "The Last Baron", "Sleeping Giant"...)
wtf, did you start to listen metal yesterday?
crumbs.
X-D is the internet
President XD is MSM.
Voivod
non siamo soli
I am he
Viggith the Gargath
Peetle the batlgiotch
Yes Come to South Florida damit .wtf.
Prog
Ha Ha Ha one of my best delusions of the early 90's
meme.
Trump = President X-D
With the death of piggy the band is over, he was the inventive soul, he was able to
mix the Prog and psychedelic music of the legendary 70s with the metal
and I'm convinced that Robert Fripp was his hero
Zar Doz psshh Chewy does an amazing job at capturing piggy's feel
Zar Dozt... the replacement is kicking ass. Breath of fresh air into the band. New stuff is awesome.
Never thought of the Fripp comparison for some reason. Pretty astute. The dissonance, arpeggiation, odd time, generally out there. I see it.
boring, dont think voivod has made a single song that isn't that way
Your mom was boring.
Yawn. Fucking try harder, Grave Blasphemator.
