i must have been at the second set. i remember spherical midi controllers and lightening noises from Eye. i came out of that gig unable to speak for about 45 minutes. completely dumbfounded and blown away. i remember describing the second set hours later as 60s Star Trek music, backwards, on mushrooms. amazing stuff

OMGs, i can't believe this is online! until the moment i walked into the room on saturday at atp's, 2pm-ish, trying to wake up and check this 'new' band out i've never ever hear of boredoms. i was in absolute awe. still am, i guess, as i've seen them a few times since then and will go anywhere in europe just to see them. thank you thank you thank you!

the way Eye's standing there, conducting, looks like a modern hooded magician possessing a bunch of magician with his black noise magic

Pure musical Shamanism, incredible...

Thnaks for posting. This is still one of the most amazing live shows I've ever seen. In fact this ATP was one of the best too. Man, I miss those ATP shows.

its really sad that ATP doesnt exist anymore, where else can we see acts like this been exposed to everyone in these days...

This is absolutely FANTASTIC! Thanks for posting it!

19:50 iconic 24 strings yamantaka chords

wwwaaaatttttttttttt this is online now?!!!?! i've been hoping forever that this would appear!!!!!

es una obra maestra de la musica de todos los tiempos....

Just unreal!

Unbelievable. Saw them in Osaka around this same time. They had more guitar players and bass players.

Sound Check would be hell

13:50 that gnarly drum pattern. Nice

Wow,I think This is a human Kinect sensor set. They used to do live sets using Kinect before.

THAT WAS RECORDED???

_Fuck yea!_

i feel like at this point in his life EYE just became music itself. fuck me

when are they gonna stop tuning their instruments?

If you have to go deaf, this is the fuckin' way to do it!!

what dies shoe shao mean

weird as fuck seeing wata without a les paul

There are going to be those who love this sound, some who are indifferent, some who find it interesting, some who think it pretentious, and some who hate it. Considering this has had less than 25k views and 532 likes in a period of 5 1/2 years, it's obvious this isn't for everyone, nor all that popular. Of course, the number of views on KZfaq is no indicator of talent or skill... where a cat falling off a TV can have more views than an accomplished opera singer. At first I thought this was random improvisation under the guidance of a conductor... until they hit that addictive tribal drum run at 13:20, accompanied by a nice vocal from Eye. I had not been planning on watching this whole video, but just like a person watching good actors in a questionable movie, I had to stay around and see what came next. I can say with near certainty that if it weren't for the drummers, this would be a flop. (I bet lead drummer Yoshimi had the back of her dress sewn shut before the next show. ) While lead singer / conductor Eye has a moderately interesting voice and sometimes credible and "adventurous" vocals, he strikes me more of a show-off performer rather than a musician (indeed, during the short sequence of the second show at the end, I wondered whether he was drunk or had smoked something, the way he was stumbling about). The main show was certainly carried by lead drummer Yoshimi and her drum circle, who did a fine job and were the primary reason I stuck around. I found it somewhat regrettable that none of the other musicians were featured at all. In truth, I couldn't really tell what part they were playing in all the "Japanoise" (yes, a somewhat official term for this style o f music). I have zero history or knowledge of this type of music, so I have nothing to compare it to. Brilliant? No. It's like watching great dancers perform in the middle of a train wreck. Slamming multiple guitar necks with a stick over and over seemed pretentious and eventually obnoxious. Different? Yes. Captivating? For some, perhaps. It kept me glued to the set, wanting to see what they might come up with next. But would I watch the band again? No... and for me that's the telling point, the rule of thumb that helps me determine whether a style of music (or a movie) suits my personal taste or not. I am not a fan of metal, but I've watched about every BAND MAID video on KZfaq; I can appreciate quality performance even if it's not my cuppa tea. But I'll not be watching another video of this group. Nevertheless, creds to the drummers. They were awesome. And it could be the other musicians were awesome as well, but who can tell when they're all hidden in the background both physically and musically. So mixed feelings on this. It was worth it to watch the drummers. Personally I would have liked to have heard a little more musical skill along with what in the end is basically a complex tribal drumming performance with a bit of nonsense thrown in. And while the vocals between Eye and Yoshimi are often interesting, Yoshimi would seem the real talent here (she might be hard to replace, while just about anyone can bang guitar necks with a stick). Overall an interesting watch. Once.

I get the band name now...I'm bored

A look inside Yoko Ono's subconscious

They should call themselves BORING

What in the absolute shit is this?? Its like having 20 yoko onos trying to play instruments

Boring

Those guys are awful.
