Minus The Bear - Cold Company Lyrics

Solid sound. I've never heard anything like this before. Wow! These guys are awesome

How many ppl her because of Rocksmith

Thanks Rocksmith

5 years later and this is still my favorite song to play on bass

Man i can listen to this everyday , love you 3000

I was listening to this band long before Rocksmith even showed up. Love me some MINUS!!!!

This song makes me happy 😊

I LOVE playing this on RockSmith! My new favorite, I'm playing bass, much easier than guitar for sure.

Sounds like modern day Ozzy XD

Im acctually a fan for 17 yrs and proud

Playing bass on Rocksmith on this song is fucking fun

My favorite part starts at around 3:06 or 3:04

Feel your hands on the rock
Roll the rock up the hill
What did you do to deserve this hill?
When you get to the top
Watch it roll down again
Are you pushing up the sun
And dragging down the moon?
Did your feet get wet
When she came after you?

Keep your hands on the rock
It will finish you if you stop

Cold, cold company
Forgive me
This ain't my stone
This ain't my stone to roll
Skin on my hands can't take it anymore

Feel her hands on your back
Feel the world go black
No future and no past
Here, now, alive at last
Feel your hands on the rock
Roll the rock up the hill
If I slip into this dream
When I awake is it the same

Elle m'a fais péter un plomb dans rocksmith c'est super technique en tapping mais ne jamais lâcher!!!

Heard of these before but never listened to them. This song was on my Spotify weekly recommendations yesterday. Really liking this song. Going to listen to more!

MINUS THE BEAR = HEALING EFFECT
Thank you for the Music you create 🙏🏻

_Mas toda vez que você chega ao topo da montanha... Você se fortalece... E na próxima vez vai ser mais fácil... Pelo menos assim você pensa..._

Beautiful Riff... Great syncopation :)

Bass 98% lead 23%

And now?

?? what

rocksmith brought me here

Rocksmirh brought me here but now this is a favorite of mine!

Reminds me of sludge metal meets post-hardcore meets post-rock.

"skin on my hands can't take it anymore" Exactly what I thought and felt when trying to pratice the guitar for this.

Rock Smith didn't send me here..but these comments are sending me to RockSmith for sure.

Any 1 here think rock smith should have AC/DC thunder struck

You have to hear this song live!!!

this song is so awesome!! respect from france!!!!!!!

killed it

Every comment is about rocksmith. Did anyone here know about minus the bear before 2014? They've been around since like 2002... Hopefully the rocksmith people listen to highly refined pirates.

dannyphehe there is nothing wrong with finding the band because if rocksmth?? Everyone doesn't find the band right away my dude. Rock smith is the reason I found this band, and since then I've been listening to them a lot. So what's the issue?

@Jua-Knee Toe
What do you mean? I never said I had a problem with it. All I said was I hope the people who heard of them from rocksmith check out their first album. I was just surprised with how many comments were about rocksmith.

@Jua-Knee Toe Triggered?

Yeah, I knew about them before Rocksmith. They also kind of remind me of Pressure 4-5.

It's odd
I've known about them since uhhh... 2005

Yet somehow I never heard this specific song UNTIL Rocksmith.
In fact, I somehow skipped this album as a whole. I see now that was a mistake.

Menos El Oso is still to this day one of my all time favorite albums.

I love how melodic the tapping is in this song.

what is rocksmith?? I just knew these guys's music by a friend

guitar game. looks like guitar hero but you play with a real guitar. it's really more of a guitar learning game than anything

+albooga oh thx haha had no idea

Oh dang, that sounds pretty cool. I should pick it up. Thanks m8

Usually when you play tapping it's just a sudden quick flurry of notes, or one or two relatively high ones for contrast... my middle finger now hurts because of this. I'M GONNA PLAY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU WHEN I'M BACK FROM SCHOOL!

I just knew about them and I never played rocksmith I rather just play in real life in front of a real audience because

+Edwin Morin I thank my curious mind for the findings I come across in good music. That also includes friend suggestions.

rocksmith did not send me here...lol...mtb is one of the most talented bands around and this song isn't that hard to play...just gotta put the work in to learn finger tapping and effect pedals

+Joshua Garcia Putting the work in, learning finger tapping, learning effect pedals = HARD!

rocksmith 2014

Any more minus the bear songs a bit heavier like this one?

I am going to Northampton, MA, May 12, just to hear this song.

Broken China

Let's play guitar in a five guitar band is amazing. It's slow starting but picks up in the chorus. Probably my favorite song

N Dias Double vision quest. The second half of lotus. Secret country.

Listen to their earlier stuff. Highly refined pirates is a goodie

This song is all kinds of awesome and I would never have known about it were it not for Rocksmith.

+DanR67 OMG IKR???? :DDDDDD the bass mode is actually harder than u would think.

@Jet Quinn Playing it on bass is the best part of it.

Same goes to Wasteland by EarlyRise

ayyy same

same for me

Is there an official video for this? I would love to see one.

Minus The Bear baby!!! Hell yesssss... These guys are fucking great. One of mah favorites.

I wanna know where the bear was to minus it?

justin reckmo their band name is based off a joke. one of the band members went on a date and someone asked how it went. he said "it was like that kids cartoon BJ and the bear, minus the bear."

There r more rocksmith players here then band fans

yep. Rocksmith really got me into this band!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Who says I can’t be both?

Thank fuck for Rocksmith. But damn, talk about tapping!. So much tapping. So. Fucking. Much. And string-skipping-chords, or whatever you call em.

hahaa yeah dude, still working on that tapping for this song
chords are not a problem for me though

oh god I know right!? I about shit myself first time I played it since I got cocky and set the difficulty at 100% thinking I could handle it. 😄

elitebelt I know right!

The bass for this is so damn fun

Seconded!

+Live_Breathe_Musix Third! having a blast with it!

I play both bass and guitar in rocksmith, and I agree it's really fun! I really _really_ rock out when playing it on bass :P

So true

yes! it is!

Rocksmith!!!!!!

i would care if i was a bear

Rocksmith 2014 sent me here

I just took like 2 hours no joke on Rocksmith trying to play this intro..
And you know what? After two hours of grinding away at the intro, I fucking got it!!

@Bazdarino The Bizier no u

I honestly thought this was one of the easier songs on Rocksmith o.o then again, I did play guitar for a couple years before jumping onto Rocksmith.

@Danny Hayson As a Bass Player (a very bad one) it took me also a couple of hours to nail the song. I really love rocksmith

Ik it's really hard

Easy...Hard...it's all relative. Don't be a jerk about it.

i also played it on rocksmith and it is verry hard

I like that song a lot

I am learning this on Rocksmith 2014!   (That is what sent me here!)

Same. This song is fantastic. 

same verygood song and cool to play on rocksmith

@Robert McTaggart That's one of the main reasons why I think Rocksmith is so helpful in improving my playing. It practically forces me to play things I would never play otherwise.

Boicycle it sounds different though

They should've sticked to their groove that they had in highly refined pirates and menos el oso.... this isn't even indi anymore... Its more like rock with  a hint of indi and a lot of delay effects...this album makes me think of 80s metal guitaring. );

But I love 80's metal....

The coolest idie rock song

The guy's voice reminds me of a real young not-on-drugs version of ozzy osborne's

MetallicaFan0503 woah. can't unhear that one.

same, cant be unheard now ahah

I think he sounds a lot like Mudvayne's singer.

Would never have said that but it’s so true

i play that on rocksmith very difficult ^^

They Make Beer Commercials was my favorite.

This is what it would sound like if Nickelback had even a little tiny bit of talent. 

@Mike Scanlan Sounds like post-modernist bullshit to me. Not all 'tastes' are in any way equal.

@G96Saber Exactly what I said... "They're just people with different tastes." If you dont like it...Fine. Great for you. Hell, slap it on your next Job application. Again, I could care less for them as well, not at all defending them. 

@Mike Scanlan For someone who is not defending them, you sure do seem to have your panties all bunched up ... Nickelback is the rock form of Justin Beiber.

@Laszlo Panaflex Lol what? I'm not getting upset or anything about this. I fail to see where you're getting that from.

Ah, well Justin Bieber is terrible because he is a terrible person, in general. His music is another thing. Since his music is made with teenage girls in mind and I am not a teenage girl, I can't give a fair opinion on it. Especially since I do not listen to it. However, this will be my last message. It is clear that this crowd isn't cool with personal opinions. Shame, but what can ya do. Have a pleasant day.

@Mike Scanlan I have no problems with personal opinions.  Yours are just confused, and that's ok.

Agreed pal, this is the first time i've listened to MTB and while this song really rocks (really dig that progressive rock vibe) the rest of the album is mediocre to say the least (imo)...
Also, sorry to all the fans but the singer's voice is generic as it gets, horrible,generic stuff...

When I go to see MTB in October, I really hope that they play this song. Favourite from the new album!~ Keep it up and I will be a fan forever!

Although I do still like thinking about being on those yachts with them, I'm glad that you're right about how they change with each album.

Seems like they try to grow musically with each album. I don't think they really care if people like/dislike the fact that their new stuff doesn't sound like HRP or Menos El Oso. They're newer songs may not be as good as their older songs, but they're different people now than they were 11 years ago, just like you or I. Instead of playfully singing about buying yachts, girls on swings, or getting naked in a swimming pool, they'd rather explore more serious subjects. Who cares?

1 dislike........DA FUQ!!!!!!!

Didn't even know this album existed -___-

so fuckin epic man.....just insane

It was awesome live. I posted the link to the show I saw in the description.

Everyone just needs to see the new songs live, it would change their minds. I just did yesterday at the Club Nokia in L.A and they literally blew my mind. It was the most amazing experience I've ever encountered.

Sisyphus did a LOT to deserve the hell of pointlessly rolling a boulder up a hill. He was a total bastard in his mythos.

this is possibly the greatest MTB song I've ever heard :O I love you, MTB <3 in a totally gay way, too

Fuck that....This Ain't a Surfin Movie is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing will EVER beat Highly Refined. But, this is a great track off this album

stick true to the roots.

im not sure which riff is more simple but effective.. Cold Company or Secret Country

either way - this is easily one of my favorite songs by them

Omni is a a great album, but different. This sounds more like a return to their old sound, but a bit heavier. Can't wait to hear the rest of their new album!

Good old Sisyphus.

Best song on the album. Reminds me of their old stuff so great, bet it's so sick live

Definitely the best Minus the Bear song since Planet of Ice...

This song shreds

I just think it's more luck, IMO Lotus was an amazing ender while Fooled by the Night and This Ain't a Surfin Movie were just alright, could be placed anywhere.

Speaking of Lotus, this song oozes influence from Planet of Ice and Highly Refined Pirates, which I love. I love that all of the songs on Infinity Overhead borrow aspects from all their previous albums and still sound unique.

This will be epic live. Can't wait for them to play it!

theyre last song always gives me the chills

perfect way to start my day before work!
