For Today- Joel (The Watchmen) NEW SONG and Mattie's Speech (Live) @ Emo's W/ MCMB

[Newfag666]

"Hi we're For Today and we're here to preach about a false god and to shove religion down your throat. PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE JESUS CHRIST. LET US SUCK HIS MIGHTY COCK." Fuck religion and fuck the stupid preaching.

[WithStability]

@Newfag666 Oh man, I will be praying for you. I hope one day you find how great God is. I'm not going to bash you, no matter how much I want to. The video title clearly says "and mattie's speech."

[Newfag666]

@WithStability Mattie's failure of a speech.

[WithStability]

@Newfag666 Everyone is entitled to their new opinion. May God be with you.

[Newfag666]

@WithStability What is "God?"

[mattharkless3]

pause and then unpause and then keep hitting 8 for the longest \m/ growl ever

[mattharkless3]

i seriously get goosebumps every time i hear for today

[Josieman543]

[Eastern998]

[Spazzinsky]

1"49 <------ AMERICA button

[iKnowMusik]

[Eastern998]

@iKnowMusik I DID TO

[NathanGCreighton]

[clos300zx87]

I am so sad i missed this show!!!

[luiswearsprada2010]

@themooses18 true

[Animetobi]

Praise the name!

[themooses18]

3:02-3:16 i got the chills .......... literally my body got all tingly .... it kinda scared me O.O

[Iantheboob]

3:42 - 3:47 = massive burp

[GarrettRayKemple]

Emo's is the best fucking venue in austin texas. :]

[iCecilJackson]

lmfao... i didnt know jesus went to metal shows.

[OohTheHorror]

@iCecilJackson who do you think invented the circle pit.

[iCecilJackson]

@OohTheHorror satan?

[OohTheHorror]

@iCecilJackson jesus and his disciples!!!!!!!

[DavidFreiburger]

@iCecilJackson haha for sure dood!! :)

[xmattfatx]

3:42..................brutal.

[Crashhead29]

i love this band. Standin up for God! that's what i like to see!

[walter1163]

The preaching made no sense but the music sounded great. I'm a laveyan satanist, but I still enjoy the hell out of this. Pun intended.

[ghostgate82]

@walter1163 The preaching made no sense to you like algebra makes no sense to a toddler. Don't feel bad, the music is your bottle of milk.

[Treggify]

@ghostgate82 You sir, are awesome.

[ghostgate82]

@Treggify No sir, you are. Okay, I guess I am too. None greater than God though! Not even Chuck Norris...

[NatNetNitNotNut]

@walter1163 if you enjoy listening to them, then you're 1 step closer in knowing the real sense of their preaching. just go ahead and sing along and you'll later realize that you're singing for our God :') way to go! ^_~

[Treggify]

@walter1163 Basically, we are free from the things that hold us back because of God.

[craftedone16]

i will be proud of you bro if you do that in the middle east or in the mainland china and there you can say your fearless and bold to proclaim the name of the LORD :)

those people he talks to already know JESUS..

[TheStyrofoamPeanut]

why would anyone dislike this?

[Freedish911]

wow superb performance

[frontlinebassist777]

i work security at club retro in fresno and one night there was a band that came through i can't remember their name but they seriously brought 150 people to christ in the course of a 45min set.... probly one of the most amazing things i have ever seen

[N30NGR33NS]

I love the Christian Rock genre. It's reaching out to a different group of people that normally wouldn't listen to Christian music. I thank every true and God loving Christian Rock band out there.

Also: For Today sounds way different live

[SwallowedByTheTide]

3:43.... Holy shit.

[Seiizures]

funny how i payed 15 $ to see em play.

i got 20 minutes of music and 40 of preaching....

i shoulda just gone to a baptist church.

[mustcontainAtoZ]

@Seiizures cuz im sure youre not exagerating at all right? get over it, theyre for today thats who they are.

[Seiizures]

@mustcontainAtoZ i wasnt exaggerating ask anyone who was at the iowa city show a the picador about 2 years ago.

[DarrylRomijn]

Im athiest, but eventhough I have respect for these guys and anyone who shares there vision. Keep up the good work

[FiiNALHOUR]

May the trumpet sound for the coming King! The Almighty appraoches!!!

[beheadoth]

We need more bands like this one, band who are convinced about what they say. I respect that... bruatal sound I love it

[battledoof]

for today can have my balls!

they are so good!

[OCxSICKBOY]

dude im not even religious but these guys make me wanna jizz in my pants

[oslek777]

Why do you complain about them talking about God? It's their choice, and if you don't like you don't have to talk crap about them. I like it when bands like this do that. It reaches out to a crowd that other bands can't get to.

[patrick44333]

3:42 Burp!!! Haha i Love you Mattie(And For Today)!!

[EliteCore]

I laugh at the immature twelve year olds here. Good band.

[nickthedrummerfreek]

AMAZING.

[PROBERTRON]

DUDE i love their Lyrics!! So Strong and Bold!! it still love 1:41 lol!!!!

JESUS IS COMING!!!!

[m0t0cr0ss17]

i love all the arugeements on the christian music. shut up and enjoy :D

[robvk6]

Badass song !!!

[Puppybutcher]

i'm sorry, but this makes me kind of sick.

[wimpyshrub]

I've played in a hardcore band proclaiming the name of Christ for almost a year now. We've played around 15 shows to, I'd say, probably a total of close to 1,000 kids. We've had 1 person come come to Christ because of us. 1 person. Even just 1 person makes me feel like my job is complete. That's the reason they do this. "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent" -Luke 15:7

[kbutto]

keep fighting the good fight bro... never give up

[jacketball5]

@wimpyshrub AMEN

[rawiswar1995]

@wimpyshrub Amen! It's worth it all if there's just one to come to Him!!!

[MrJbhandley]

@wimpyshrub whats the name of your band man?

[wimpyshrub]

@MrJbhandley Darksided. You can hear our stuff by typing "10 1030 Darksided" into the youtube search bar.

[RockingManiac]

@wimpyshrub music is powerful. God bless you man for doing that. thats a wonderful verse as well. take care my brother

[chrizzle45]

@wimpyshrub wats your bands name? i want to support you guys!

[whitechapelfan66]

@wimpyshrub dude that is awesome man, my band is the same way dide, we have been a band for 6 months.

[chokolate999]

@wimpyshrub i like your band :D

[pi314phi162]

@wimpyshrub Praise God! One person means a lot, yes!!! 8-D

[Patchworkdrum]

@wimpyshrub I know how you feel. Last year, I posted a status on Facebook about God, and my friend, who's a diehard atheist, commented saying, "that's a really good point." For me, to get someone who doesn't believe in God, or any higher power for that matter, to say that I had a good point about God being real, loving, and forgiving, it's just one of the best feelings in the world.

[xxxMindPuppet777xxx]

@Patchworkdrum Amen brother. Keep it up,that is SO GREAT =) God bless you

[girldrummer4Christ]

@wimpyshrub AMEN!!! God bless you and your band!!!

[MegaMatt1991]

wow all of you bitching and moaning about what they preach get over it...its a great song For Today is a great band and they can preach whatever they want on stage. If you don't like it don't listen to it but good luck finding another band that implements some of the same aspects in their songs as well as For Today.

[SamLikesWolf]

@keith1780

where am i judging him? i am stating facts, no judging or condemnation in anything i said.

[thudsky9]

@ keith1780. Quit being fake, if you want to hear the song so bad, then you might aswell listen to the intro. It means just as much as the song itself. Hopefully you won't regret anticipating the breakdown and solos then considering what the guy is saying.

[keith1780]

what the fuck are you taking about. first of all this band sucks. second of all i was just say to suck the fuck up and play.

[owlertheprowler]

hardcore just gets worse everyday

[SamLikesWolf]

@Hawaii4Jesus

if you dont agree with their sound dont listen, these guys are reaching kids in the hardcore scene that you would never be able to, do not put down other christians, what makes you perfect.

it even says its a sin to put down other christians.

grow up

[MrVisions]

@Hawaii4Jesus Not being a big fan of screemo either, the one belief we share is, that neither of us will be off to purchase this CD anytime soon. But as far as "Being from Satan" what are you basing that on? Do you know these kids off stage? What kind of citizens are they? What are they like in their community? Jesus taught to judge a tree by the fruit is bears, You're walking by the tree, hearing the branches thrashing in the wind, and yelling out "Get thee behind me Satan"

[br0Xr0xx0rz]

@MrVisions

this isn't screamo. And this is one of the most SOLID christians band, metalcore or contemporary that i've ever seen.

[MrVisions]

My apologies for the mis-labeling is must be my oldness acting up again ;-)

[br0Xr0xx0rz]

@MrVisions

haha it happens man. Most music labeles as screamo is usually some type of metal or hardcore, and I honestly don't like the word because it's waaaaaaaaaay to ambiguous.

[Hawaii4Jesus]

the jesus they believe in is SATAN.

impossible to be christian

[masterbeefy]

@Hawaii4Jesus

What makes you say that? Faith is a powerful thing that can be represented in so many different ways :) Music is a joyful thing that the lord loves, and everyone has music that they express themselves with, which is why I believe that God very much approves of this :)

God bless you!

[br0Xr0xx0rz]

@Hawaii4Jesus

Did you read the lyrics? What's impossible for it to be christian?

The opening lyrics say "let the trumpet sound, for the coming king, the almighty approaches! let the whole world sing... wake up!"

Yeah that's definitely NOT christian... (sarcasm).

[iDRUM402]

@Hawaii4Jesus what a faithful one you are judging other christians. not judging you but learn the facts before you rip on people. mattie is an amazing preacher and a man of faith. he's one of the most solid christians i've met to date. this band is the most solid christian band i've ever heard of. read their lyrics and tell me theyre not christian. if you still say their not you should be slapped. fosho.

[keith1780]

i hate this band but just because they scream instead of doing the typical church voice doesnt mean that they believe in satan. they are just spreading the word of god through their lyrics, just like "christian" music

[TrueCoBFan]

@keith1780

if you hate the band so much then why are you on 1 of their videos trolling?

[keith1780]

i didnt hate them until i saw this stupid video. fuck you

[TrueCoBFan]

its not a stupid video. other then the fact that the place is called Emo's and emo people r pathetic. oh and his little rant in the beginning. the songs ok.

[keith1780]

no the song sucks too

[SamLikesWolf]

The term emo was around along time before any 12 year old started colouring his hair black. the venue probably was to

[TrueCoBFan]

i realize that. i still think being emo is just a pathetic excuse for wanting attention. "AGGGHHHH *CUT CUT CUT* PITTY ME!" emos might as well say that, wouldnt u agree?

[SamLikesWolf]

your trying to say the venue wants attention and cuts it self? that sentence doesnt make sense bro

[braedonizzle1]

haha. You're ignorant, man.

Not in the rude, I think you're stupid way.

I mean, you just stereotyped and condemned a whole group of people who probably have serious issues.

know what I mean?

[RTSband]

are you kidding me? saul of tarsus? agape? you obviously dont read the Bible. or watch there live intros. he says i pray to you Jesus Christ like all the time look up "prayer and agape live" and he has like a 3 min. prayer in the beginning. your close minded and ignorant. and your proving it with that commennt.

[keith1780]

sooooooooooo gay especially the first 45 seconds. just shut the fuck up and play

[youngd864]

if you don't like it don't watch it. he's speaking the word of the lord and that's what he and alot of other people believe in including myself, and lots of people go see for today because of their faith so.

[TheJon557]

shit i try telling my friends about god i aint got no friends anymore i think thats bullshit i just feel like turning my back on all those who have turned there backs on me

[keith1780]

your a fucking idiot

[iDRUM402]

@TheJon557 dont give up on them brah. keep praying. being with God is more important. obviously theyre not real friends if they turn their back on you. just pray about it brotha.

[keith1780]

1 i will never watch it again, 2 i dont give a fuck, and 3 shut the fuck up and play. If i wanted to hear "the word of god" i would go to a church not a metal show. this is so dumb because people will say this band is good just because they are a christian band

[AvengedSevenfold190]

dude, ur dumb! a lot of those ppl dont go to church, so its a good way to tell them, by playing good music too!

so suck a chode

[keith1780]

wow really i shouldnt even bother but im going too...... so what if these people dont believe what for today does. so if a band doesnt believe in a god and they do what for today does are they wrong? so now your dumb.

[DPMAN2424]

@keith1780 i agree, they should just play their music, they incorperate their beliefs into their songs enough.

[keith1780]

ya i no, thanks

[AvengedSevenfold190]

@keith1780 ur gay,, if the crowd doesnt believe then thats their choice but for today is probly trying to teach them a lil too!

sucka chode

[keith1780]

1 that proves my point 2 still isnt the same as church 3. once again most people there dont care so just shut the fuck up and play

[Tagetto]

I think it's funny that you believe you have the authority to decide what "most people" think, when you're not even thinking for yourself.

These people go out and spread their message for people to hear it and be saved.

I'm sure this is a very familiar phrase;

speak for yourself, and stay far far away from any For Today shows or videos if you don't like them. Because you said it yourself,

YOU would go to a church if you wanted to hear that. YOU don't want to hear it? Then YOU go away.

[keith1780]

1 Authority, who the fuck are you. 2 saved from what 3 i can comment on whatever video i want to... its called freedom of speech, so with that i am going to tell you to go fuck yourself.

[Tagetto]

What's with the counting to three? Are you showing everybody on Youtube your IQ?

Come on, don't put your self down like that,

you can obviously count to 4

Just look at your garbage mouth and the words that come out of it!

So proud.

[keith1780]

i understand you couldn't come up with a come back its ok

[AVENGEDoSEVENFOLD]

@DPMAN2424, of course they are going to incorporate their beliefs into their songs. I'm not going to go out and write a song worshipping satan, now am I? I'm a Christian so obviously your going to tell it through the music I write. (If I did) These guys are expressing their emotions and what they feel about God and in songs like "Redemption", things they struggle with. If their feelings are about God, then you have to deal with it. It's no different then a secular band talking about drugs

[AVENGEDoSEVENFOLD]

@DPMAN2424, and sex, but theirs isn't about a religion. (i'm not saying all secular music is like that, but it's the easiest to make a point with) and just because i'm a christian doesn't mean i can't appreciate the music they play. I've heard many secular bands that have amazing music, that doesn't mean i'm offended by their non-christian beliefs. let them do what they are doing because they are bringing glory to God. if you don't like it then don't listen any longer. thanks.

[DPMAN2424]

@AVENGEDoSEVENFOLD ya i see where youre coming from. i dont mind FT talking about religion in their songs but its annoying when he gives his little speech at the beginning. ppl went to the show to hear music. church/temple/senagogue is a place to preach your message and views on religion, not at a metal show

[willmspoh]

As a band it is your 45 minutes to do what you want. Obviously it is something they are passionate. IF secular bands can go on rants about drugs and having sex. Other bands can talk about Jesus. It is a 2 way street, people have to deal with it. From what I could hear people were stoked about him talk about Jesus. They arn;t to worried about you tube kids.

[animanga613]

They can do whatever they want. when they're on the stage, they own it. He says it all in the speech. Freedom

[DPMAN2424]

ya he can do whatever he wants. hes narrowing down this band's fanbase when he does, though

[m0t0cr0ss17]

so? stop hating.. if u dont like it dont watch or listen to it..

[DPMAN2424]

@m0t0cr0ss17 im not. i love the music. i hate the pointless message and the stupid talking at the beginning of the video

[ninjadudes]

@DPMAN2424 i hope you find the light of god, i will pray for you and hopefully see you in heaven. godbless

[DPMAN2424]

@ninjadudes haha fuck that bullshit

[ninjadudes]

@DPMAN2424 ill pray for you

[DPMAN2424]

@ninjadudes ya u just made me hate this band

[ninjadudes]

@DPMAN2424 hate wht you want idc

[marimba94]

@DPMAN2424 Playing in churches and likewise is pointless. Who are you going to reach? The people in the church are already IN THE CHURCH. It's the people that are not in church that they are concerned with. It is their time on stage and they may do what they wish with it.

[DPMAN2424]

@marimba94 doesnt take away from the fact that its just a bunch of bullshit that hes wasting his time with. yeh playing is a church is fine and dandy but ppl who go to hardcore shows wanna hear music. not to be preached to. thats what ppl waste their time going to church for, not to shows

[marimba94]

@DPMAN2424 If you think it's BS, that's your opinion. He obviously thinks exactly the opposite. When you go see a hardcore band that uses their music as a ministry, you expect to hear them speak also.

[satyriconlife]

it kinda sounds like he wasted his vocalz tht night or this couldve been one of the last songz they played so he waz tired dosnt matter still beast

[nathantoronto77]

awesome intro guys

[TheNeedleinthehay]

[JakeDecay]

[playsomepaintball]

[BX2TheR]

I love For Today, thanks to my friend for introducing me to them.

Gotta love when that happens from being so pumped :]

[dustin12567]

[moretrogdor]
