I heard Powerman referred to recently as "an obscure metal group from the late 90's" and wished more people had heard their music. Most ppl I hear refer to them seem to do it as a joke and I die a little inside every time.
Tell those people to look around at society at the moment, and listen to the lyrics of this song. It's rather ahead of its time, and has philosophical depths. If they're competent in the least, they'll change their tune 👍😛😜
This song was very prophetic, seems more relevant than ever today. The social mediaplatforms distorting reality into people's lies of others and themselves.
Bogmire42 I'm ashamed and also surprised that I didn't know MTV stood for "Music TV" until after reading these comments... I guess it just goes to show how far MTV's fucked up over the years, huh?
I remember seeing this on tv when I was 4, but I always thought it was just a dream, because as a child my imagination played tricks on me and I saw things that weren't there. But after all those years, I finally rediscovered this and I'm glad to know it wasn't just a dream! This song fucking kicks ass!
I personally love this style by Powerman 5000. While they don't consistently offer it each album, Tonight the Stars Revolt, Anyone for Doomsday, and Builders of the Future are very fun and in this style.
These guys came to Louisville and sounded even better live than on record. And the energy coming from this man tore the damn roof off. It was rad as hell.
Relax, you're not old. I went and saw The Fixx this summer, and they put on an awesome show (all members late 50's early 60's)!! And...I also saw them in 1984, thirty two years ago when I was nineteen, so take it easy on this old thing!! Age is just a number when you take care of yourself.
Anyone else think the covert art for Deus Ex 2 looks suspiciously like Spider? I know it's the least revered game in the franchise among most (I liked it), but the default Alex Denton looks insanely like this guy. I mean it was the early oughties and ridiculous iced tips were everywhere, but that and the jumpsuits really made me think of it.
I remember watching Serial Experiments Lain for the first time in 2005 and this was the first song that came to my head after it was over. Whenever I think back on the series, this song is always playing for me.

@@InfamousMedia Only thing keeping me here is this is where all my family is, if it wasn't for that I would have fled over the border decades ago flipping the bird over my shoulder the whole time.
The beginning of this video makes since being IRON-MAN'S Grand Nephew and ANTHONY'S GREAT GRAND SON. I grew up on the other side of the tracks though. No private schools though mostly jail.
1:27 Can we just take a moment to appreciate that drumming? In fact the whole song is full of great bass and drum. I'd even go so far as to say 1:36 and on is as good as anything Korn has ever done.
I'm seeing them live tonight in 2017! I didn't even know they still were together till 2 weeks ago lol. They were the first band I saw live 11 years ago.

You know.. As of recently I have been playing a game called Fallout 4.. ( Again. ) and I put on my youtube playlist and this song popped up while I was working on some things.. Well.. It just made me think how much this kinda fits one of the factions of the game :P
this song gets goddamn intense live at :40. the over 30 crowd is filled up on cocktails and joints thinkin we 18 again! we damn well gonnq show these whippersnappers the whats what in the pit! spoiler: after song 4 we gotta go outside for some air.
I love your music but the pinnacle of your music was when it was sci fi based i still LOVE your music i just wish it still had the same feeling as it did in the 90s those we're the best such as When Worlds Collide and Drop the Bombshell
I love listen Powerman 5000, 1919, 311, The 1975, Three days Grace, Blink-182, 3 doors down, Evanescence, System of a down, Static-X, Korn, Linkin Park and other foreign musician groups🎧🎶🎵💯👍
My friend found 2 CDs on the ground one time. One of them Blink 182 the other Powerman 5000. I didn't really know any of them but he gave me a choice: choose the left for Blink 182 or choose the right for Powerman 5000. I chose the cool looking red and black skulls. I'm so glad I did...but it makes me wonder what my life would've been like if i had chosen the left.

But I bet just about any serious metalhead born in the 1970s and 1980s will have heard and headbanged to "When World's Collide" back in the day... 😎🍻🤘

Still remember seeing Primus in 1997 in Santa Cruz, CA. The two opening acts were unknowns by the name of Limp Bizkit and Powerman 5000 :) :)
Thats badass!!
At least you got to see Primus lol. I would have went late just to not suffer through the others
sounds like an awesome show
🤘

A shame Powerman 5000 doesn't do the sci-fi retrometal anymore...
they do still tour tho
I like the old stuff but I rather like that every album he changes up the sound
William Emmet. We don't even know hot
they still do
William Emmet strongly thinking about it at least for an album.
Still one of my favourites, I used to sit in front of MTV waiting for this one.
Remember when 'Music' TV was actually about Music and not teenage girls getting pregnant, among with other reality TV bullshit?
werewolf914 I think we're among the few left who actually do remember. We must tell the people.

Pretty much.

Ahh....The late 90's. Remember how fun things were before 911?
9/11 destroyed everything. It changed all of us regardless of if we admit it or not. It took something away from us that we might never get back.
Lol Americans...
Yeah, 9/11 just completely fucked everything up!
Life rolls on 9.11 cant stop us hustlers
We didn't realize just how good we had it back then.
"Nobody's Real" it can't get more appropriate for the way things are these days... lol

DAE HATE ESS JAY DOUBLE YEWS????
TH-camrs and twitch streamers aren't real :)
Saw them live in Dallas for the 20th Anniversity, they opened with this song, and so many memories and feeling resurfaced. Was a kickass show!!!
End of days. 1999. Best soundtrack ever.
Badass soundtrack to a badass film.
in retrospect, this seems a bit ahead of it's time

Relax, you're not old. I went and saw The Fixx this summer, and they put on an awesome show (all members late 50's early 60's)!! And...I also saw them in 1984, thirty two years ago when I was nineteen, so take it easy on this old thing!! Age is just a number when you take care of yourself.
I saw the Fixx then too. But I was 21. lol
I remember getting this for christmas of 99, I was 11, jesus I feel old.

Looks like Naruto went into the Tardis and started making awesome music.

Or Vash from Trigun if he grew a goatee LOL
i just realized how well this song describes psychosis
i think that's what it's about
psychosis/spirituality - flip a coin
the bitch of it is they'll try and say you HAVE some problem the entire time you drag yourself back up and into spiritual awesomeness
Their reality-ness may can not to be proven but existance is undeniable.

Always come back for Spider's spastic hand-waving dance.
I actually had an epiphany during this clip. I dance exactly like him.

Nobody's real but at least they are willing to let you know. It's the ones that arent willing to let you know that you need to watch.
Oh, man. This is like the perfect song for Philip K. Dick.
Fisheye lens, filmed at 75% and sped up, porcupine hair. This is definitely a numetal song from the late 90s.
and oddly really the only good ones :D
and?!?
Yea like washed out colors with over exposure and lens flares everywhere is any less gaudy.
this was actually recorded in 2000.
lol @ the 75% and sped up. That's such a subtle tactic.
This should have 16M views, not 1.6
dario HC This should have 230M views
Yeah,yea
Everytime I listen to this, or When Worlds Collide, I get a very strong Star Wars vibe for some odd reason.
Ya don't say? I can't imagine what would possibly give you that idea lol
6 year old me and 28 year old me still think they’re one of the coolest rock bands ever
Powerman 5000 kicks f'n ass! #Powerman5000
Nobody's real. Sixty percent of the time it's true all the time.
Powerman 5K needs to be in Cyberpunk 2077!
I'll probably consider it a miracle when I see a company with this much good taste today.
