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 👍😛😜
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?
This song was very prophetic, seems more relevant than ever today. The social mediaplatforms distorting reality into people's lies of others and themselves.
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.
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.
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.
Saw them in a dive bar cause the original venue tried to F them. Spyder told them to F off. So crammed into a little bar with a tiny stage and they put on an amazing show.
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.
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 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.
Scary monsters And super peeps The more you dream the less you sleep Life as you know it Has gone away Unbound unwound who's here to stay Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go Nobody's real but they'll feel it How do you sleep With the time that's left you It's all been done There's no need for the rescue So let's just get out I swear there's no doubt You can't be ready cause there's nothing left to do Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go Nobody's real but they'll feel it
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
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.
@@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.
I remember this shit from 1999 old-school Industrial music. I miss this era.
We didn't know at the time, but this was prophecy
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.
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... 😎🍻🤘

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
🤘
dream show... lucky
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.

Lol me too!!
no doubt. there wasn't a bad song on it. it would still be in my rotation today if i still had it.
Same here!

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!!!

Still one of my all-time favorite albums
I'm so glad rob zombie had a brother 😊 I love power man 5000 I'm so glad I grew up with this music
Great song - let’s not forget this one ❤
Looking back at these old Powerman video's...... they look like they came straight out of the video game Borderlands.
Rosato86 Yeah
Rosato86 Wow It Really Does ... Hmmm STRANGE
Pretty much.
What?
this that ninja twitch kids dad
65 years old and still head banging. Love it 😊😊

Yup, 33 now man

Hadn't even heard of this group before ,2 weeks ago! They're great!!
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.
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.
Witch we naturally sharing it. Spirituality, othersay.

Always come back for Spider's spastic hand-waving dance.
I actually had an epiphany during this clip. I dance exactly like him.
6 year old me and 28 year old me still think they’re one of the coolest rock bands ever
This is so underrated
William Pearce it belongs in the trash
This was the keeper for me. The one thing I took from bands catalogue as their best song.
I love that youtube has started recommending me these random late nineties songs Ive never heard before but still feel like I've missed
Late 90s/Early 2000s was a golden age for rock radio.
Wow this is a pleasant blast from the past
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.
I still love PM5K and always will :) They've been there for me since way back when. And still come to see me in Waterloo, IA every year! :D
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
Mike Temptesta's stomp is incredibly bad ass. These guys got me through middle school and I'm 30 now. Thank you PM5K.
This song is awesome
Inspiration since 1999!
Love the sci-fi Japananime feel in this video. N I really gotta get one of those power suits. (3
Thank you for a great teen time . You was right nobody is real
their 1999 album is the best
shawn danner Tonight The Stars Revolt! \,,/

Thank you for this. You rock!!
Nobody's real. Sixty percent of the time it's true all the time.
This is probably my absolute favorite album of all time.
Wait, no, no probably. It definitely is.
easily their most underrated song way better than when worlds collide
I don't care what anyone says. Spider is gorgeous. and they kick ass!!!
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.
Thank you Titan A.E. for introducing me to them.

that was last year
Yep rocking with my sex robot lol
Not if I have anything to do about it. Damn humans trying to live long happy lives

Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
Nobody's real but they'll feel it
How do you sleep
With the time that's left you
It's all been done
There's no need for the rescue
So let's just get out
I swear there's no doubt
You can't be ready cause there's nothing left to do
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
Nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
Nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
Nobody's real but they'll feel it
Thats only half lol
I always thought it was "scary monsters and super-beasts" as a ref to his bro
Man I forgot about this song.
Oh, man. This is like the perfect song for Philip K. Dick.
on point ! with the vocals and guitars !
good old song

You can't be ready cause there's nothing left to do, okay!
College nostalgia for sure. Still rocks 20 years later.
