Debuting on April 17, 2006 on commercial radio, the seven-minute song entered the ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts both at #2.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Modern Rock Singles Chart )〕 It received a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. ==Overview== The song features a 5/4 riff and describes the vicarious thrill the public receives from living through others in the media eye. In the June 12, 2008 issue of ''Rolling Stone'' magazine the song was included on the list of top 100 guitar songs of all time. It was ranked one-hundredth.〔. Retrieved 2011-01-24. "This is as arty as new metal has ever gotten. Guitarist Adam Jones' cadmium-heavy riffs are mostly in 5/4 time (with a few extra rhythmic hiccups), and he batters away at them with inhuman precision. Even though it runs long at seven minutes, the song still became a crossover hit, peaking at Number Two on modern-rock radio."〕 The song is a playable track in ''Guitar Hero World Tour''. About the concept behind the song, this was stated by Maynard James Keenan in a interview: "People make their own choices, that's the bottom line. I think... to me it's like those kind of frustrations, that kind of social frustration that comes about people lashing out it's because of undressed aggressions, repressed emotions, that kind of stuff. So to me, when you see some movie about someone just doing some horrific deeds, in a way, by watching that movie you have related to express that emotion, or that desire, and therefore you don't need to go deal with it. But the more you repress it, and deny it, the more It's gonna come out somewhere and It's not gonna be pretty when it happens, It's gonna be real when it happens rather than interest. A walker story, film or song. I think It's important, cause we have all those nasty things we read about or come up with or see in a film or hear about in a song, those things are in you, and if you deny that those things are in you, they're gonna come... they're gonna bite you."〔dAWeed〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vicarious (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
