David St. Hubbins?

I grew mine out again.

Saint Lemmy?

😂

Kind of looks like Chris Chan's classic shirt.

I'm fucking dying. LOL

Best comment ever!

haha

lol, and he can really play too!

That's what I love about this band. It's like they grabbed the first clothing items they saw in their closets and said, "Yeah, that works." 8)

agreed.

they released some good albums now let em rest on their laurels.

Did they disbanded?

@@matheus047ufc yes, unfortunately

When did they disband? They just played a show in Milwaukee within this past year

you're so lucky cause when I saw them and shouted it, they DIDN'T play it lol. I was kinda sad but it was the High Country tour. but I mean hey they opened with Tres Brujas so I thought what the hell.

+Tony Blaze for me it was the high country tour too. It was probably a coincidence, because they didn't play other shout outs.

+Ben Weissman Yea i guess they really just wanted to promote the album lol it was pretty decent though. dreamthieves is fuckin rad

+Tony Blaze yeah it was awesome. They played all their new songs like they were metal and it kicked ass- people moshed to them!

I love them live Did know who they were until I saw them live opening for Clutch INSTANT FAN

Chugga chugga chug! Luv it!

Thanks 🙏

Pretty esoteric man

Love the hyperborean lyrics

I feel like they used up all their ideas too fast. Sword, axe, scythe, cleaver, make up your mind, guys!

Ha ha! Mother Internet!

Just throwing it out there check out baroness if you haven't yet

So have your friends, they've failed you too

I agree what the hell. This is good stuff!!

You must be living under a rock or something

They formed in 2003..

@@johanbrodin8629 Admittedly pretty muddled and feeble praise on my part but I was almost certainly drunk when I commented. My intent was simply to laud their awesome blend of vintage styles. But thanks for the clarification.

@@johanbrodin8629lol

Wtf???? You 're right!!!!!!!

Crazy how this band is retro NOW in 2024 😮

That's right.

And your point is?

There was so many people in 70s who used to wear striped polo. You've got to check more things about that decade before you analyze.

That will do pig, that'll do.

War Pig y. y. ye. Yeah it’s called stoner rock.

The Warp Riders and after that just don't FEEL the same to me

@@MrJimbojamez May not feel the same, but I love up to Apocryphon. Beyond is a hard pass.

Honestly, I feel like everything up to high country was good. Used future sucks, although the actual song used future is meh.

Lol

It depends on which axe they're speaking of. . For example my Schecter blackjack which is similar to JDs Bc Rich axe is quite heavy. I do not know the exact specifications but I do know approximately after an hour it starts to hurt my back and the same can be said for most Gibson Lps. Now if they played Ibanez they might find they're relatively lighter but so is their sound. All joking aside I found your comment hilarious and this video to be awesome in every sense. :)

D = M/V

Funniest thing iv read on the youtubes in awhile

You silly man.... This video is actually mis-titled, they are not saying 'How heavy this axe...', they're saying 'How heavy this sax...' as in 'saxophone.' This song's subject matter clearly describes band roadies carrying gear to the next performance. I must say though, it is strange that there are no saxophones in this song, or any other woodwind/brass instruments for that matter. However, I cannot believe you got suckered like that.

Same WTF if bands now can only hang on for 16 YEARS KZfaq will promote!

I saw that tour too that's how I discovered them!

That tour was insane for us in Montreal we got gojira lamd of god and metallica but i would have preferred to see the sword

In Portland, Or we got Down as the opener, then I went to Seattle a week later and The Sword was the opener, f'ing amazing.

verily!

As heavy as the one in Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians is. ;)

FuckinA

aerospike00 yes,they woulda fit right in between Sabbath, Priest & Diamondhead

and duuuuuh........ Motorhead

How would u know?

Specially with David Gilmore on bass

Check the sideburns of the vocalist, so retro.

hahahahahahaa!!

Truth

You killed sheep lovers?

Thanks for your service. Long live metal

​@@nicolausteslausgross comment there, bud

@@TonyContiniProductions thank you for your support!!! …do you know why the Sword disbanded?

damn right, ur comment reminded me of voodoo child by jh

...so?

+Evan Frankenstein So it makes this band even better, because of those lyrics

Hellion Malkav oh I took that the wrong way. I thought you were making fun of people who play d&d in garages (me)

+Evan Frankenstein Well, I am one of those too xDDDD

Or they took a shit load of Mescaline and acid

dude the drummer makes this band, they'd be lifeless without him.

@@Jeton6 he does look like he plays at the local church, but I agree, dude is really good.. literally just heard of them.. weird.

Hahaha.. started as a side gig.. and at the time.. not metal guys.. and Not stoners.. years later they've been copied .. but by actual stoners and Not as good.. I love playing this at the Bar I work at.. always get someone asking me who this is... and get to tell them how old it is... now I mean.. haha.. still better then most.. I know it's old school inspired.. etc etc.. we are At Zero..

rodzandz bro the drummer is the coolest dude there

None of them look metal. They look like beach bums.

Agreed. Brutal is fine, but not every band (nor every song by a band) needs the same screaming wall-of-sound. Interesting songwriting and a nice groove go a long way.

Yeah death metal is more brutal and hardcore than heavy. Heaviness will always go hand in hand with doom.

@@joshtyler1300 heavy means it makes you bang your head and this band does it like very few other

​@@cheersbro7347okay let's calm down there, death metal is still heavier in terms of headbanging. Just listen to vader

@BEHSMIS no

Me too

Just saw them last night! They kill it live! Better than Clutch was

I own most of The Sword on CD and listen to tons of metal, but I must tell you there is nothing wrong with electronic music. There is no "Create Music" magic button on a computer. If you think it's that easy I suggest you give everything you've got and show me something that even resembles a song.

PurpleCaliper Fuck off, you fucking douche.

Cookie Monster can be good though.

You can like two different things, you know.

cookie monster don't eat shortbread

​@andrewmcintosh2703 not if one of them is fucking trash

Norlin era boat anchor for sure.

makes sense

That sure is heavy

Weight relieved guitars sound like skim milk. 200lb Les and some p90’s are sufficient to melt faces.

It isn’t viking metal at all…

I wish I could discover the sword for the first time again

most mightily

griffinmatter Yes they do! Early priest feel here...

+antoniusmetal That's just epic!

+antoniusmetal thank you very much sir!

Bibl888 You're welome!

+antoniusmetal That was awesome!

fuckin cool :))

2 awesome bands!!!!

Saw Graveyard and Mastodon open for Clutch. Tasty little nuggets of alien technology indeed.

Same here

Me too. Must be the Red Fang.

Long after the band lost all of its magic

FuzzyDancingBear I disagree

That must have been as godly show

+Rolf Eijgenraam This already thrashy as fuck

+Rolf Eijgenraam Speed down to 0.5 and you get Electric Wizard.

+Rolf Eijgenraam Long lost children from the bay.

Hell yeah

Rolf Eijgenraam thanx now this song is listenable!

I dont think a lot of people are getting this reference.

I saw that bill!

Stigmatta I saw them in Memphis last week. Lead singer has shaved. And short hair. They all had long sleeve button up shirts.

Shit, that's the Fu Manchu uniform.

You know you're a great band when your bass player can wear his little sister's V neck blouse and still rock harder than people thought was humanly possible.

Love it!!!

If you have to ask...it's too heavy for you.

Only a few worthy can reckon the weight

Well axes arent typically very heavy. Looking at 3 to 8 ponds normally, now a long ax weighs in at 15 lbs whilst a great ax is 16 (single head) and 20 (double headed). The proper question is what is heavy?

Well it is a Gibson 🤪

The clue is in the song. Count how many times the drummer beats the piss out of that poor cymbal, and you get the weight of “this axe” in grams.
