2012.01.07 Make Me Famous - Blinddate 101 (Live in Joliet, IL)

[vvorIdofvvarcraft]

@themattschott YOU CAN SEE HIS LEGS MOVING!

[TheMattSchott]

The drummer doesn't actually do anything on the bass drum, if you pay attention, his feet and legs don't move at all. Its all preprogrammed.

[OosticusTheElf]

@TheMattSchott His legs are clearly moving.

[13joeyjordison]

@TheMattSchott if they were making the bass drum fake there wouldnt be any fuck ups but you can hear thats theres a few and you can he his right leg moving

[MercilessMrBrooks]

the lead vox runs out of breath quite fast.

[h8er2123]

I was there! And I am gonna see them there again March 31st! xD

Love them <3

[CurtisGoesRawr1]

Did they like stop and change tuning? Badasss

[vvorIdofvvarcraft]

0:16 looks and sounds EXACLY denis did in his old covers... This is raw footage guys...

[AHardcoreBurrito]

0:36 "*don don don don don* WHAT?!" listen closey

[MusicaDude]

Favorite song out of all of their songs definitely.

[MattFearnoTx]

that stomp at 0:46 was just perfect! like if you agree

[Crab3131]

This is easily my favourite MMF song so far.

[marksmusicful]

@chrisacct that is funny as hell that you think that hes not hitting the cymbal. he is a professional not you

[chrisacct]

2:43 clearly not hitting a cymbal...

[wearetdf]

@chrisacct He's hitting the china. You can see the stick bounce back haha

[chrisacct]

@wearetdf thats why the china isnt moving? lol



[wearetdf]

@chrisacct If you look closely, it is. The white thing sticking out isn't the china. You can barely see it.

[MrSeamorecox]

Holy fucking shit the techno part O.O 8========>----- This song is so sick I want the album NOW Dx

[OvernightFrenchtoast]

Apparently to some people i guess its impossible for anyone to have a good singing voice...

[wearetdf]

@OvernightFrenchtoast Forreal haha Denis is so good. People need to stop hating. Besides, not all singers are perfect live.

[OvernightFrenchtoast]

@wearetdf Ya i know man I've watched his studio updates his covers this guys got talent. People are just soooo fucking ignorant these days...

[madkilla1010]

Serj's screams are just about the best I've ever heard :)

[rockrule80]

@madkilla1010 I agree along whit matty mullins from the other MMF ( Memphis May Fire )

[madkilla1010]

@rockrule80 most definately :)

[zombiespwnedyou]

0:38-1:00 ;D

[Mattieee0wnz]

This band is awesome but something about the drummer bothers me. The bass drum sounds fake as hell when they play live.

[TheMrChaseWalker]

@Mattieee0wnz It sounds kinda fake but if you look at his bass drum you can see it vibrating from where he hits it.

[Alkeex]

@Mattieee0wnz it's a trigger on the bass drum.

[TeaWrecked]

I love the breakdown from 2:29 - 3:14. MMF are such an amazing band - they're gunna be big!

[esdrhhh1234]

@TeaWrecked Too late, They are already big.

[FacevsfistRecords]

Someone leak the fuck out of this album before i kill a cow....

[zombiespwnedyou]

This song is fucking heavy! >:3

[StatickShoot95]

@zombiespwnedyou really? o.O

[zetarox15]

I love asking alexandria and make me famous, but the last break sounds kinda similar to A Prophecy

[fatzjabloni]

@zetarox15 the techno part sounds like when everydays the weekend too but what the hell why not? it makes me cream my pants anyway :)

[BreakDown614]

I cant wait to hear every song in Album Version.. Sumarian's quality + this band?.. Lets go..

[MrBmthiscool]

lol there all wearing like toga things :p

[Kussinator]

If this is on the album, then I hope Once you kill a Cow isnt.

[matt10394]

@Kussinator Why...?

[Kussinator]

@matt10394 they both sound way waaaay to similar. It wouldn't be good to have both on the album for that reason.

[matt10394]

@Kussinator I don't think so.

[vvorIdofvvarcraft]

@7637garrett it's called a genre

[TheWorldAtWork]

yeah everyone likes triggers that loud along with the bass guitar being too loud. but the performance part is decent

[7637garrett]

i hate how every song sounds the same

[vvorIdofvvarcraft]

@kildude1190 You said AND a normal mic stand? Denis is hitting Soprano notes that is very Hard for people to reach so he has a headset mic so he can move in a certain  position For the note to be higher and controlable it's not for the style It's for easier vocals

[wdominic126]

Haha holy trigger is right. Like damn it sounds terrible

[MusicaDude]

Scroll back enjoy up and shut the fuck up.

[HellFire426]

i love MMF with a passion haha

[xQuickNikk]

Holy trigger.

[kildude1190]

you dont need to trigger the fucking kick drum when you're not playing 16th notes at 250 bpm. it takes away from the performance significantly. just put a whole in the front skin and mic that. otherwise, theyre actually really good live.

[rockrule80]

@kildude1190 I'm pretty sure its a click pad not a trigger, I've seen dustys old kit from when he was in serpents and he used a click pad then.

[kildude1190]

@rockrule80 i apologize, i am unaware of their drummers past, so you're probly right. however, it just sounded like a cheap trigger to me. but thats beside the point, my point is simply that it gives the bass drum too much treble, which is acceptable if you play like tim yeung, but he does not. but as i vaguely stated before, that is the ONLY bad thing i could say about their performance

[rockrule80]

@kildude1190 It's okay I'm not 100% sure but because there is a mic in place it makes me think that he is using a click pad and given his past, We're not arguing we're discussing drummer to drummer. I think its a click pad but I'm not too sure.

[kildude1190]

@rockrule80 thank god, finally someone else who understands the concept of a civilized discussion with more than one possibility, as opposed to getting up in arms and coming up with nothing more intelligent that something like "thats not what yur mom said last night." anyway, i am perfectly willing to accept that its a click pad and not a trigger, but, in my honest opinion, i dont think either is necessary for their show. nothing sounds better than something real

[rockrule80]

@kildude1190 I suppose nothing beats the thud off a bass drum, but i believe they're are going for the prenounciation of each hit but the bass is well too loud and I know it good tohave a good, understanding discussion.

[kildude1190]

@rockrule80 that would make sense. but now i wonder, would there not be a way to use both the click pad AND a normal mic system? that way youd be getting the best of both on it. i do something similar with my guitar cuz ive got one amp thats really good for the bottom end, and one thats got a really clear crisp tone but no balls. my pedal splits into each amp and then i plug both amps into the PA

[rockrule80]

@kildude1190 A click pad is a metal pad that emits a sound there's no leads involved, the beater hits the pad not the actual drum and its the pad that makes the sound there a good alternative to trigger, but I don't know.

[vvorIdofvvarcraft]

@gianmayL dude your way out of line There is no autotune here You would be able to hear it was there was

[GreaterThanMichael]

Generic as fuck!

[zombiespwnedyou]

Hey bitches, haters, whatever the fuck you are, go compare Asking Alexandria to Capture The Crown. There's more similarities between them two. If you listen closely, Make Me Famous sounds NOTHING like Asking. I'm not sucking Denis' dick, I'm just stating the facts. Now suck my dick

[HellFire426]

@zombiespwnedyou CTC is pretty awesome too bro.. but like you im gettin sick of people fuckin sayin shit bout Make Me Famous..

[zombiespwnedyou]

@HellFire426 Yeah I really like CTC, but the fact that MMF is being compared to AA when other bands sounds more like AA than MMF. I love AA, too. With a passion

[mikeyscollection]

There's no autotune on his voice, some people just happen to be good singers. Also coming from someone who's liked everything this band's put out so far, this song isn't exactly a keeper.

[GianMayI]

biggest fucking try hard band ever dennis dick riders is what you got here clearly theres autotune its not there own style the last breakdown is identical to asking alexandria

[iiKaRmAx3SP]

To anyone saying they're generic, please, go out and find a band that doesn't have multiple other bands that sound like them....

[beatbeneathmyribs]

wooaaahhh triggers are way to clicky!! lolz

[HellFire426]

26 people need hit with cinder blocks

[Dofustuto]

el baterista nunca mueve el cabello

[A7XFIRAA]

I love Make Me Famous! but live it sounds like dennis is amazing and the rest of the band is average.. and the new songs sound very unoriginal and eh compared to there older songs..

[vvorIdofvvarcraft]

@coversbycaleb.. God all mighty the Reverb is the Freakin stage stadium thing.. THIS IS LIVE

[Coversbycaleb]

Kids are so used to hearing voices that are edited so much that they sound nothing like their real sound! I can tell you this much, sergi's mic has no distortion (if any, minimal), and Denis has just a little bit of reverb on his. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD SOUND LIKE! thumbs up if you agree!

[FearOfStormsMusic]

@Coversbycaleb you forgot to mention the autotune he's got on his mic

[Coversbycaleb]

@FearOfStormsMusic It is obvious that there is no auto-tune on his voice. And by the look of the hundreds of hate comments you have left on this and other videos, i'm pretty sure your just extremely jealous.

[FearOfStormsMusic]

@Coversbycaleb i left so many hate comments because so many of you suck denis's dick on here it makes me sick. so i went down the list and said something to everyone i saw. its pretty obvious that there IS autotune in his voice but its not just autotune that makes me sick, theres no end to the breakdowns they play.. it was creative when underoath or the devil wears prada did it but everyones trying to copy them now and it sounds awful. i'll say again; this band sucks!

[MrThomyHopp]

haha i like how the crowd jumps to the music :D

[guitar202020]

ridiculously amazing live!

[AmericasSwede]

The breakdown at the end was deja vu to Asking Alexandria. lol

[666Mrgunslinger]

quit trollin' fuckheads, these guys are amazing

[leonkenneddy]

they sound great live. however, the bass drum sounds like clicking, almost robotic :/ that just annoyed me a bit :P

[BLAIRPWNSALL]

How the hell does he keep that headset on lol BOSS

[PartysOwn]

@BLAIRPWNSALL He looks like he's headbanging carefully lol.

[gwk326]

okay, i LOVE this band, but the first clean vocal riff sounds so much like the intro to million dollar houses by pierce the veil

[jackieeethepwner]

fuck i cant wait to hear this album

[CallUsEmergencyExit]

OMG! I have the same water as they do! 0:55

[WeSkateEveryDay753]

@CallUsEmergencyExit Nobodys care

[dannyslowww]

where's make it precious?

[ZosoDelta]

For everyone defending this "band" please tell me coherently why this is good or original as some are saying. I mean really there's two other bands on their own label that do the EXACT same thing and I think both of those bands suck, so this is like derivative off of being sucky. Ok I can get it the guy can scream/growl, the other guy can sing sure...but they're pretty much an AA cover band.

[IronZombiee]

@ZosoDelta First off just because their is other bands like this doesn't mean their exactly the same that's like saying Weezer and The Beatles music is exactly the same because their both rock. They each have distinctive sounds with the cleans, screams, riffs, lyrics and breakdowns. Asking Alexandria is an influence yes but in no way can they be a cover band because Make Me Famous lyrics are more brilliant same with guitar bass drums cleans screams and breakdowns plus AA changed their

[IronZombiee]

@IronZombiee Direction Ex. Compare Stand up and scream to their other cd's theirs a clear differance

[ZosoDelta]

@IronZombiee It's everything the image, the synchronized dance moves, the cheesy choruses with crappy synth lines that switch to death growls immediately followed by single note half time breakdowns. This stuff seriously can't get more derivative. "More brilliant" ok..how? I fail to see the brilliance merely mentioning it does not make it apparent, because it's just not there. It's really weak songwriting with all these bands, they're just random parts strung together.

[IronZombiee]

@ZosoDelta their songs have meanings, maybe your mind cant comprehend, but not only that but it sounds good. If you think you can do better form a band write lyrics and instrumental parts and then talk crap k? k. c:

[ZosoDelta]

@IronZombiee "A night spent with a crocodile

Will remain in my memories for a while

And a naked picture of us

Still reminds that it wasn’t, it wasn’t water in the glass

We are the kings of the world"

Yeah wow I just can't fucking comprehend that. That's some Robert Frost/Hemingway shit right there. I understand they have "F" and "B" words in their music which is a huge deal when you're 13. Do yourself a favor and listen to Misery Signals or Dillinger Escape Plan, heavy music with good lyrics.

[IronZombiee]

@ZosoDelta First im 15 you Dick. Also that songs about partying and having a good time. So if you like to go out and party then you would understand it. Oh also like to add those bands suck Heavy Music with good lyrics right.

[CTID41]

@IronZombiee 15, eh? Looks like we're dealing with a serious badass over here.

What the fuck does a 15 year old know about going out and partying, exactly? I have to say I don't like Misey Signals, but Dillinger is fucking incredible, especially live. And Misery Signals is still better than this shit.

[IronZombiee]

@CTID41 Was i bragging that I"m 15? No. I was correcting you because you said I was 13. Also their is different opinions people have. Think what you want In what ever Close Minded way you would like, and so shall I OK?

[Lostrulestiaf]

@ZosoDelta Yeah... Maybe if you're a bitch. Otherwise, this band is good. Also, look where they are in life.. and where you're not. Quit being butthurt. When you become famous too, then you can complain. Until then, get over yourself.

[Piercethejeff]

Dennis Make Me Britney Spears.

[BeTTeRTHeNOPTiC]

if you know about sound in live shows.. u know that as the shows get more to the headliner. the sound guy starts the quality starts at shit. to decent.. to the BEST so that the headliner sounds the best. hence why there the headliner... thats why u can barely hear the guitars anygood. and the kick drums sounds SHIT. memphis may fire was like that.. right?

[GianMayI]

i hate how that above92 guy sings and stick to your guns is the shit this is generic in no way this is original

[FelixWemmelMusic]

Wooow guys, really? This isn't anything like Asking Alexandria? This is something new and cool. They have created their own sound, and Denis Shaforostov is just brilliant! Serj Kravchenko is also amazing! Then we have the rest, FUCKING AMAZING. Holy shit, but still stop complaining, the trolls won't change this world and prevent upcoming disasters.

I'm proud of MMF, their first show: SUCCESS. Good fucking job!

[BlakeAlan93]

Triggered drums sound shitty.

[IAmProbablyMike]

i've never understood bands that use so many breakdowns in their songs. I can understand having one or even two, but when a song is basically just breakdowns... god it's so fucking dull. Then the entire 'LETS ADD ELECTRONICS TO IT TO MAKE IT MORE BROOT4L' stuff just irritates me. At least they seem to be able to play live to an extent.

[GianMayI]

@IAmProbablyMike it was cool lol but ya then it just gets anoying cause they do it all the time

[IAmProbablyMike]

@GianMayI it's that, and the fact that you never know which breakdown is the 'main breakdown' or whatever their intention is, so when it's played live you don't know when you're meant to go crazy or whatever.

[Wodenator1996]

caint wait tho hear the real version of this song

[Biffenstein1]

yeah, the syncronized shirts were not a good idea... haha the vocalist obviously doesnt like em much either! anyways, this was sick

[hammersmashedhead]

No creativity.. breakdown after breakdown.. oh and the electronic interludes, of course

[ibanezmetalman]

Can you upload earth from mmf?

[TheMegamen21]

0:37 mind is blown

awesome,dudes

[KFAR93]

Quit trollin, trolls.

[ratsperm7]

im so dissapointed a back track???, the drummer is out of time??? wtf!!!

[cynthia4l]

Wow this is the best live video of Asking Alexandria I've seen!

[AskinCD94]

@cynthia4l ... is so stupid when people compare bands with another bands, that dont even sound similar... But well... I Dont give a fuck, since i know how Stupidly annoying can people be when they are looking for atenttion pfft.

[xXPeanutMan127Xx]

The reason i like MMF isn't because there trying to make a point, Its because their actually good unlike many other bands.

[javier20893]

@xXPeanutMan127Xx you got that right bro!

[FearOfStormsMusic]

@xXPeanutMan127Xx Laugh, Out, Loud.

[CameronFranchiMusic]

Denis sounds great and all, good for him. But can anyone explain why at like 3:14, I hear nearly the exact same breakdown as at the end of Not The American Average?... Seriously, its almost 100% the same..

[gwk326]

@CameronFranchiMusic not at all

[matt10394]

@CameronFranchiMusic No...?

[MatXkewlX]

@CameronFranchiMusic Yes it kinda does

[omurilow]

Scene-kids playing generic metalcore... this "band" is a piece of shit

[AngryAdventurer]

The Stomp of a Dragonborn!

[mynameisb4tman]

3:15 = a prophecy? hmmm

[tP118]

@mynameisb4tman damn good catch! unfortunately, originality is tough to come by these days

[XBringYourOwnBombsX]

do you have more vids from make me famous?

[ZosoDelta]

BREEE!!! Chug chug chug!!!! *generic electro pop* Ehfhuhhf baby yeahhfefimv!! BREEE!!!! Chuggga Chug Chug! *Repeat*

The real question is why they have so many frets on their guitars? They only need about two.

[toThe9thPower]

@ZosoDelta he does not do any squeals so what the fuck are you talking about? 3:14 is more of a guttural then anything else. Similar arguments could be made about ANY genre of music. Traditional metal with "shredding" guitarists can be so horrifyingly redundant. The best jazz guitarists could destroy just about any metal guitarist. Maybe metalcore is not the genre for you? thats cool, simply find something you do like retard. That is the point right? metalcore isn't for musicianship

[ZosoDelta]

@toThe9thPower Well if this is metal to you then...no, there are no words. Most (good) metal musicians are jazz guitarists. Cynic, The Faceless, Atheist, Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, Ever Forthright, Between the Buried and Me. I'm not going to argue genres but I like plenty of stuff with "core." Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, The Red Chord people who actually make something real instead of conforming to a prefabricated image just waiting to be eaten up by scenesters in neon shirts.

[toThe9thPower]

@ZosoDelta And you lose this for good now. Why? well because you apparently do not know that all music is subjective to each and every listener. What you like IS NOT what everyone else likes. Your opinion cannot be factual, yet you make absolute statements as if it is. There is nothing conforming about playing music YOU WANT TO PLAY. They wouldn't be in this genre if they didn't like it. If you want musicianship, go listen to classical because metal guitarists ain't shit

[ZosoDelta]

@toThe9thPower I don't live in a fantasy world where things that suck are good. You can tell me all day that Jonas Bro's "metal" is the greatest thing ever but it doesn't make it true. What metal do you listen to seriously? AJ Minette, Chris Letchford, and Tosin Abasi are classical and jazz trained guitarists in metal bands. I mean if you only listen to the Rise Records scencore roster than I can see why you'd make such an ignorant statement. This sucks: fact. You mad yet?

[toThe9thPower]

@ZosoDelta Actually if anyone is mad, it is you bro. You can keep saying that your opinion is factual, but sadly for you, it is not. I listen to many forms of music, and once again, no metal guitarist you name can hold a candle to some of the other REAL musicians out there. Metalcore is not for musicianship, hell neither is metal. If you don't like this? cool? why would I give a fuck? Opinions cannot be factual though so you will lose this argument every time. Metal is dying you mad?

[ZosoDelta]

Those triggers sound like a freakin' typewriter...awful.

[Himynameisricardo]

I've followed MMF since Denis made his "Vocal covers" and thought their music was pretty good. And their Make It Precious "Live" video was pretty tight. But what the fuck is this? Matching shirts? Matching guitar? (Ok, over exaggerating on the guitars), but seriously, what's this pyramid shit? (See in other videos) They're a... Hardcore Boy Band. What the fuck am I watching...

[toThe9thPower]

@Himynameisricardo they have a short guy in the band, why not utilize him for something cool?

[danny13c]

why does the bass pedal sound so clicky?

[IllStayGoldForever22]

CHUG CHUG CHUG

Why are they wearing rags?

They're rich as shit.

[mikeyscollection]

He clearly doesn't have autotune here, he's just actually a good singer, god forbid someone actually has talent.

[wandersaroundalot]

what happened to We Know It's Real and Make It Precious? :o

[Alkeex]

asking alexandria rip off? 

[0Just0Josh0]

ok we get it you hate MMF, now where the hells ISSs set

[rtmconcerts]

@0Just0Josh0 you aren't talking to me right? Anyhow, I See Stars didn't give me permission so thats why I didn't film them!

[dyinginthismoment1]

It's called a genre for a reason, there's other bands that play this but make me famous has their own style and pulls it off well, for a band on their first full-length they have amazing stage presence plus it's gutsy for them to start off a set with three never before heard songs!! p.s. please upload the rest of this set!!, and maybe I see stars if you taped them.

[cynthia4l]

@dyinginthismoment1 LOL their own style?! Hahahahahhahahahaha omg you can't be serious.

[Imso3k]

Lol asking alexandria's first album was all about breakdowns, and The Final Episode has 15 mil views. So what's so bad here? Denis is not fucking autotunning, he sang on Stickman with the same amazing voice like a boss, no need to jealous.

[Ogichi1993]

Haters make Make Me Famous famous. ;D

No but seriously come on guys. I can understand if you don't like it, but you guys should be encouraging these guys to pursue their dreams and ambitions. They're just like any other band in terms of wanting to make a name for themselves and wanting to make music for their fans. Oh, and also; Calling a band generic is fucking STUPID. Every band has inspiration and influences from another band. Oh, and they're meeting the requirements (so to say) of the genre.

[iloveantoyeah]

@Ogichi1993 Requirements? :)

[Ogichi1993]

@iloveantoyeah I kind of worded that wrong. I meant to say that the style of music they play fit into the genre. xD

[NukkahWhutt]

these guys are fucking terrible.

[BehindAtonedFears]

ugly ass click to the bass

[TheHellooDavid]

You guys are all dumb, obviously they are signed for a reason and your hate opinions won't change that. Get over yourselves.

[woeisjustin92]

Talk all you want but their still signed and you're still at home watching them tour the world..

[bassistXmetal]

holy shit every song has the same fucking techno part. Fuck im a fan of dennis's voice not this SHIT

[djotham]

hey they are just trying to have some fun for their first show calm down people

[jackisnotcool1]

As much as I love Make Me Famous and Denis, I'll have to agree with the fact that this is a boring song. It is all breakdowns and a techno break. I know the guys have more talent than this :/

[PATjA15]

this song and band sucks, nuff said.

[RaZoRFTWo]

okay everyone hating on this band saying they have no talent is pissing me offf. dont get me wrong i dont quite enjoy their sound its not my style but to say they have no talent is bullshit. denis can sing his heart out legitly with his amazing talent hes the only one i think that fits in, in the band though. Serj has exceptional vocals aand lows but he should be doing Deathcore. Same with Dusty, Dusty is a really great drummer even though he can be douchey but he also shouldve stuck w? deathcor

[matt10394]

I like how everyone instantly scrambles for shitty excuses as why this band "sucks" after they see them live and realize that they have true talent and Denis can actually sing beautifully. Stop being jealous over his precise control over his larynx.

Oh yeah, one measly breakdown and they're instantly ripping off AA or some other band. *Sighs* Flame fags these days.

[Himynameisricardo]

They sound so much like AA it's not even funny...

[SuperSlowTyler]

This song is all breakdowns and one dance part... actually write some music..

[SuperSlowTyler]

Nice click for the bass drum lol
