this is the first song i heard by this band!! and watched the drummer perform it at the modern drummer festival!!!! this band, song, and drummer are the entire reason i started playing metall!!!!! THANK YOU SHADOWS FALL FOR THE EPICNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
idk y everyone always bashes jason bittner.. hes one of the most inventive drummers around, imo.. he def in my top five and people who hate on shadows fall STFU UR GAY SHADOWS FALL ROCKS
Hell ya FiReFeeT666. I had no idea who bittner really was until Modern Drummer 06 when Adler won Drummer of The Year. Bittner is not only a great metal drummer. He is an instructor, he knows theory and can read fuckin music, a real musician......all of SF are real musicians.
This is the song that got me interested in metalcore, or whatever it is (shadows fall has so many different types of metal within many of its songs its hard to tell what genre it truly is). Anyways, great performance. And wow have they matured a lot as a band. i personally thought they were only average live at around 2000-2003, but even since The War Within came out they've gotten much better, both live and in the studio version. Weird, but so so true. And i can't wait for their 2009 album.
Coolass song.I like this vid cuz the singer is actually movin around.Usually it seems like he just stands there. He should really headbang more!!Those dreads look so cool just swirlin' back and forth!
Just stands there? Ive seen them twice, once at a small club and his dreads were hitting me because he was head banging so much and I met him after the show along with the rest of the band and there all real nice guys.
I saw them again at a larger venue and he had just as much energy on stage.
To crywhatevathefuckurnameis ..You dont know what your talking about .. Shadows fall are great musicians .. Jason is probably the best metal drummer out there next to Lombardo ..and Yes he is better than the overated Joey Slipsuck Jordison ... Matt has amzazing backround vocals and John is always on key with his solos and the harmonies are incredible ..Best live Metal band Ive seen that are pretty new ..Better than Slipsuck,Lamb of God just to name a few ...
Agreed to some extent man. To me slipknot is alright but Lamb of God does blow. Saw them in concert with KSE. I was totally disappointed. My friend told me to go check out shads and as soon as I saw them I was hooked.
Lamb of god doesn't blow. u saw them live which made them suck. u can never go to a show and have it performed perfect. i've seen some shadows fall live stuff that sucked, i've seen some live stuff of lamb of god that wuz freakin awesome. there is always wsome good live and bad live performances. i saw the drummer for lamb of god and their bassist perform. they were awesome. and they were both extreamly nice. they blew me away with their playing just as bittner did.
It was the singing that bothered me man. As far as the insrumental they are amazing. In fact if I could find some of their stuff without the singing I would listen to them.
look for stuff under instrumental. or look for chris adler modern drummer festival. there's some stuff there w/ chris drumming and he plays a few songs with their bassist
if you want to know of some bands that truely understand how do resolve their phrases, and understand how to build vocal harmonies correctly, listen to bands like Silent Civilian, as I lay dying, Bullet for m Valentine(scream aim fire album), All that remains, diecast, killswitchengage, in this moment, and for just good riffage, Trivium, unearth, children of bodom, haste the day, and august burns red. these bands understand music theory, and apply it correctlywhich makes itmore pleasing2 the ear
music is an expression of the artists emotion , i like most of the bands you mention fuck for fuck sakes stop making music into a fuckin pissing contest , thats what organized sports are for , you wanna argue whos better go to a fuckin football game not a fuckin metal concert , metals always been about " fuck the rules" so stop putting limitations on it
honestly, shadows fall sux. people out there think theyre good cuz they have complicated riffs, and they compare them to bands like slpknot and systemof a down, and say, "man, these guys are awesome!" Well, im here to tell you fellas, no, theyre not. In terms of music theory, they dont understand how to resolve their phrases, and their vocal harmonies are totally wrong. and the lead singer's vocals are horrible...i hate his dumb half scream half spoken monkey growl. lame. Cool guys, lame music.
how can music be "wrong"? they go by what sounds good, not what you learn in fucking theory class. I can't believe you listed in this moment as a band that people should listen to instead of shadows fall...go preach somewhere else
These guys got me out of my horrible nu metal phase and got me listening to real metal bands like Metallica, Slayer, All That Remains (if you like SF you'll love these guys too), In Flames, ect.
it's Nu Metal vs Metalcore...and Shadows Fall wins in every way... theyr best songs? for sure this one, Another Hero Lost, Burning the lives and The Light That Blinds!!
@secksi71 totally agree wit you but slipknot isnt bad they just dont have shit on sf slipknot paid there dues but nu metal fuckin sucks it was koo when i was in high school but it fell off to simple but they did put in work
I love Shadows Fall :D I have seen them live twice and each time I've seen them, they've put on a good show. They aren't really big in England though :/
If I was in the crowd in this video, I'd be headbanging through the whole song. I hate boring crowds
guys c'mon get over it, they're all really good bands with talented musicians. What your all saying is just an opinion, there all fucking amazing for gods sake!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
death metal just sucks ass metal-core and shit like shadows fall bformyv and killswitch fucking rule fucking everything dude that is where the real talent is just bc you can play fast doesnt mean shit its if you can play fast and acctually make sense sounding that really matters
Kerr King sucks dude! Jon Donais owns his ass!!!!...Kerry King is one of the worst guitar players,...solo's out of key, not even have to do with the song...Jon Donais is very diverse, a whole bunch of style's shred, bluesy feeling stuff, beautiful acoustic stuff...Kerry plays the same old crap and then drop's in a stupid guitar solo.
his second ride to his left is mic'ed so terrible during the intro at the double ride part you can only hear his ride to his right...thats gay(and i know i spelled mid'ed wrong or however you spell it)
This song kicks my ass every time I hear it..
