yeah, they didnt play it for a very long time after jesse left but now they usually play it as an encore. i personally think they shouldnt have done that but it is one of their most popular songs
not trying to cut down karl, but i think that the band shoulda went their own ways after jesse left. its jut not the same, and the fact that malice was so good that it would be hard for someone completley different to top. i mean its their lead singer and front man.
Awesome band. Awesome crowd. Damn, I wish I were around to see them during this line up, Karl is awesome but, Jesse will always be the best in my opinion, he made misery signals what it is. Of malice and the magnum heart is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.
i saw them years ago with jesse, was amazing. seen them with karl as well. While still good. i started liking them with jesse. Even before this with 7a7p
They do now. They got permission from Jesse to play it. But Karl doesn't say Jordo's name when they play it he leaves out all the really personal lyrics.
The first time I ever saw them was in Aug 2002 at the first Yesterday was Everything festival here in Edmonton, AB. THey performed as 7 Angels 7 Plagues with Jesse on vocals. The only person not on stage was Stu- guitarist. This was the first incarnation of Misery Signals. Fucking Amazing! The first time I saw them as Misery was in April 2003 at the Orange Hall. Just as amazing. That whole period from 2002 to 2003 was really good for the Edmonton hardcore scene. Wish it was still as good
yea i think that they are both amazing but have both went a little down hill like i still love them both... but i mean its not the same but still respect it i guess.... i member the first time i seen these guys live... amazing
look up the story morons, its in loving memory of jordan wodehouse I believe his name is, and other friends killed when a careless driver hit their band van on the interstate
Just because they didn't play the song when you saw them doesn't mean they haven't played it live in the past..fuckin retard..they RARELY play this..but there are videos on the internet on them doing so..if you dont believe me just go find it.
yeah, they didn't play it the time i saw them with the new singer.
i'm not sure if this is true or not, but the lyrics jesse had written for this song were very personal, about the death of two of his friends. i'm thinking either he kept the song upon leaving the band, or the guys aren't playing it out of respect for him and his deceased friends.
this song is the shit, and i can't see why they wouldn't play a crowd favorite otherwise.
yea if you check out the video for this song and read the lyrics, it was clearly written for someone that passed away...i know they barely play it anymore if at all now that jesse isn't in the band anymore
yeah they dont play it anymore, i asked karl at a show here in hollywood a couple months back and he said that jesse took the song with him when he left the band. gotta respect that as much as ide love to hear it
There's a video of them playing it with Karl on youtube. The quality is bad but it's definitely The Year Summer Ended in June. I guess they just play it very rarely.
WTF i missed that one!!! omg.. id give anything to hear em play that song. BTW its actually quite rare that they do, my buddy saw them in edmonton AB in a half pipe with there original singer (jesse) and they played it.. said it was amazing..
They still play this song at shows i don't see why people believe other wise..obviously karl adds a different tone to the song but in essence if you've listened to that song as many times as big MS fans do then it shouldnt even matter..
They say that because this was pretty much a memorial song for Jordan Wodehouse, Jesses close friend that died in a vehicle accident. So it would seem inappropriate to some for anyone else to sing it.
i feel like the lyrical content on mirrors is from a completely different frame of mind than what was written for malice. malice is FAR more personal than mirrors could ever hope to be, in my opinion.
its nothing to do with rights over sings, the year summer ended in june was about their friends that died in a car crash, and seeing as karl never knew them and had no relation to them, it wouldn't be his place to sing the song. it wouldnt be as personal n shit.
So? Let Karl sing the song. I would be happy if they play the song when I see them live. Who cares that Karl didn't know the 2 friends who dies in that caraccident:)
i hate to break it to you, but i ASKED karl the last time i saw them play (back in October w/ Emmure) and he simply said "We can't." they can't play this or On Account of an Absence. whether its a matter of rights over the lyrics or not, idk.
in my opinion, malice was jesse's album, and mirrors is karl's, regardless of who wrote what. my only worry is that these glorious days we're witnessing here won't be drowned out with the release of new material. thank god for the internet.
Jesse wrote this song about losing a member from his old band, Compromise, in a car accident. I'm sure it was just a mutual agreement not to play it when Jesse left the band and probably nothing to do with legalities. Since Jesse's lyrics were all very personal and heartfelt, I would also assume it would be the same reason why they can't play On Account of an Absence.
Anyways, glad the majority of you enjoy this video. It's one of my faves as well.
thank God for the internet, yes, MS lived off internet lisetneners. they may've not even found karl if it wasnt for the internet. let alone get as big as they are.
I was lucky enough to see them before Jesse left and this was one of the songs they played. Unfortunatley I went to see them again and they dropped off the tour the night of the show becuase they were having problems within the group. It's to bad becuase this is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, and it would have been amazing to hear it again.
he does have the right to sing it if its in a respectable and well done way like he does now. it keeps the passion in the song and the memory of their friends alive
its almost like your giving karl shit when he hasn't sang the song yet... like what the hell are we even talking about? and why the hell are we talking about it?
Jesse or Karl? Jesse Zaraska wrote mirrors. the album, in its entirety, 100%. Karl does permanent vocals now, and this upcoming album will be the of tehe first he writes so far
They have a new lead singer now... The guy in this video is no longer the singer, He wrote this song for 2 of his friends that died in a car accident, So the new singer basically has no right to sing it...
what? If this is Karl (the new singer) in the video than you are correct. He didn't write this song. But the old singer off of 'Of Malice and the Magnum Heart' was named Jesse. Two of Jesse's friends died in a car accident.
Zaraska wrote mirrors, not Karl, who gives a shit, there is no moral right to a song, i dont give a fuck who wrote it, a song is a song, and you can sing it however and to whoever the fuck you want to. they don't do this song because they do barely any of OMATMH, and i'll bet karl will respect that jesse wrote that song, but still, if misery signals wanted to play taht song im sure they wouoldn't hesitate, though jesse zaraska wrote it, it belongs to Misery signals
right on dude! it's just a song. people who talk about moral rights to play a song..?? come on people! it's just a song! get your heads outta your asses!!
I didnt even know this was lonline! I was at this show, such a good night. They were opening for Strapping Young Lad.

I saw them last tuesday and they played this song. it was incredible and karl didn't sing the whole text. he left these lines out:
"I hope you know I tried to find those pictures Jordo
Of us that night in Detroit with The Pressure Point"
and
"Man I swear I'd give the whole thing up for you"
so in my opinion he shows respect for this song and knows how personal it is.
