It's a song called "Too close to see" by Strung out.

Everything is so great about it!! The drumming is absolutely top notch, the guitar solo somewhere in the middle is fuckin awesome, it's very fast paced and the melody is surprisingly really catchy.

Strung Out easily PWNS 95% of the other punk bands out there.

Yeah give this one a listen.

Allright drums, to bad everything else completly ruins it.

I take it you haven't really heard alot of guitar solos.

The Chinese Jew · 02-23-2004, 09:14 PM

I take it that you're a faggot.

ooooooooh dis!

Rabid Dinosaur · 02-23-2004, 09:15 PM

I listened to Circle Jerks - Group Sex today. Quite a cool punk album in my opinion, too bad it's only about 15 minutes long.

Andres · 02-23-2004, 09:21 PM

Strung Out sucks dick.

The Chinese Jew · 02-23-2004, 09:23 PM

I don't like it... but I generally don't like any punk.

here's another review of the song Too close to see:

Quote:

'Too Close to See' demonstrates this perfectly. How long it took the drummer to become so accomplished is anybody's guess, but the speed of drumming here is incredible, as is the change in sequences and drum rolls he manages to squeeze into minimal amounts of time. Add to this fast picking of the likes you probably haven't heard before, and you'll start to realise this is head and shoulders above what is now commonly termed 'pop punk'. Let's put it this way, I won't be attempting the solo in this song for about, what, 10 years when I have a big beard and have been on several world tours. Even then i'll probably have to take lessons. But anyway, back to the song, and you'll soon find the quality of the lyrics eclipses most of your CD collection - 'sometimes you get too close to see a different side of what life can be'.

yep, well said!

Strung out have so many amazing songs that it was hard to choose which one to post....but this one is probably my favorite...or "Velvet alley"

I just think Strung Out have way more talent than almost every other punk band there is, they can play ridiculously fast and even then they still come up with ridiculously catchy melodies.

It's like this band is more talented than most punk bands, and can often come up with catchier melodies than many punk-pop bands.

Drumming is the only thing alright with this. Vocals are annoying. Guitars are unoriginal. That solo is just tapping to sound impressive, and then some bends. Snore.

Geez that must take alot of work.

That solo really hard...I mean to learn that would cost me a whole 5 minutes of my life.

Too bad its not worth it.

it sounds like something made in PUNK-O-MATIC with crappy vocals added.

Enough to know they suck dick. Punk is boring, Jeff. Really, really boring.

Dick Harris · 02-24-2004, 02:12 AM

Strung out are fucking great. This song isn't one of their best though. Their drummer is probably faster than Travis Barker. and more talented.

And Jeff, well done. When you wrote punk song, I sighed to myself and thought it was gonna be one of those crazy post hardcore bands like Brand New or The Ataris, but you surprised me. WELL DONE.

Andres · 02-24-2004, 02:24 AM

The Ataris POST-HARDCORE?!?

The Chinese Jew · 02-24-2004, 06:41 AM

This topic has been flooded by people who don't listen to punk....and finally Harris comes in...

Harris, which strung out song is your favorite? Some of their best in my opinion is this one, velvet alley, monster, and Bring out your dead.

It was created by someone who doesn't listen to punk, too.

I'm still not totally out of the punk-pop loving, but I have been listening to a lot of punk lately.

whatever. POP then.

and jeff, to answer your question, it's still 'exhumation of virginia madison'.

My favourite punk song is 'anti nowhere league - so what' but that's probably because I love the metallica cover so much.

METALLICA!
