The Offspring - New Song (Half-Truism) @ Soundwave, Melbourne (29/2/2008)

[Ramonajunie3]

Ugh, I have some weird cyst on my wrist (lol, I'm a poet and I wasn't aware of it) and I might have to give up playing violin for some time until it goes away.. so this song's making me feel better. :3

[mistik68]

Охуительная группа люблю ее!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cuenca20]

@mistik68 my point exactly ;)

[heyitsus]

This is for any idiot who ever did something good in their lives and felt they should have been acknowledged. No assholes no one is going to acknowledge everything your stupid entitled dumbass ever did. The point is the amount of time you have available to do these things is limited! so shut thye fuck up and do it!

[MULLENRODNEY]

непонятно))

[Khazanah]

26 MCR fans are watching this video since Fab 2008. *LOL* :p

[jamesangussk8r]

there must be 25 people that accidentally clicked the "dislike" button while they were trying to press the "like" button

[sindresollie]

@jamesangussk8r

there must be 25 people who wish the offspring didn't change their attitude

[pingola16]

damn dexter is fat

[danielexr]

2:38 !!!

[IrishRaver03]

my 4th birthday is when this came out :D (leap year)

[jdudeJmusicAforlifeC]

your fourth birthday?

[IrishRaver03]

@jdudeJmusicAforlifeC

yep, every 4 years i have a birthday. it's called a leap year :)

[jdudeJmusicAforlifeC]

oh that's right lol now I feel retarded :p

[P1RH4NA]

@IrishRaver03 Do you have to wait till you're 72 to drink beer? (Canadian) 84? (American)

[rizocarpaso]

noodles wrong his guitar-solo!!!!!!!!!

[softlyscrapes]

There are lots of vocal effects that are utilized on just about every major label recording, but I really think he sounds pretty spot on for such a rough recording of a live concert.

[00iCrazy00]

totally

[Falco544]

dexter sounds a lot different on their cd and when he is live at a concert.

[torkoal531]

Yeah, I noticed that too. I've read other comments on other live vids, and apparently, they digitally alter his voice for studio recordings cuz he has a poblem reaching high notes and other things.

I'm about 80% sure about this, but i'm sure it's something along those lines.

[hispanict]

Preety much what Torkoal said

[wardark2142]

Like every band :P

[crazedfan7589]

saw them at summerfest. dexter was lookin a little chubby. he still rocks though.

[acemofo13]

Damn they sound really good live

Nice vid

[MrRonan40]

[danbowtell123454321]

[chemajmcollado]

[ballin66612]

So glad this is gonna be a single!

[shnobunnie]

<3 Rachel

[357724]

[CravenLeVay]

[dav0147]

Gr8 vid. only got in2 them 2 years ago nd hav been hooked on them since plz cum 2 scotland soon. they were epic at download:)

[p4ok4kiG4]

they were fucking great @ greece!!!!btw dexter has a fucking amazing voice!!!!!!whoever disagrees is deaf!!!!!!!!!

[Clutch180]

Heh.. that guitarist quite poor?

You try playing an instrument that requires intense focus while singing perfectly at the top of your lungs in front of a crowd 1000+.

Its easy to say something is horrible when we're no the ones doing it.

We're all human, no? Hence mistakes... please try to understand that. :D

[hamburgermedost]

Also consider that this is one of the first time they play this song live and at this time the song is completely new

[P1RH4NA]

@Clutch180 Oh my god! What's this? Someone else on YouTube with proper spelling and grammar? Fucking amazing I love you.

[sethfrancis7]

@Clutch180 dude i agree with you but in this case no cause the guitar part is quite simple if you were talking about metallica or avenged sevenfold i would completely agree with you but dude this song is fucking easy

[OnlyOneTyping]

@sethfrancis7 just because it's easy to you doesn't mean it's easy to everyone else

[suchased]

@Clutch180

That's Right, otherwise, camera makes sound poor, otherwise, when you're on a concert, you don't think about it, you're jumping and screaming like an idiot :D

[nachospole1]

awesome band there is no need to compare there music all the time if its good music leave it at that this is great music the offspring rules

[jhonnytrindade]

i love the offspring,i hear they song sounds i was 5 years old

i am brasiliam and they will come here in nevember,but i can´t go to to the show cause i am not 18 years old yeat

[lolithermanikan]

!OFFSPRING!

[sella2xochitl]

im tired of all you fuckers comparing these songs to others. There are MILLIONS OF SONGS OUT THERE. To find some taht don't sound a bit alike is impossible. that being said, rise and fall dosent sound like american idot at all, and that mcr helena shit is also bullshit, and finally, yea hammerhead did borrow one baseline from nirvana's get away. so fucking what, they borrowed a small bit from a great classic band, they didn't fuckign steal the song.

[haffira]

wow. dex managed to pull off all the high notes. i knw i can't, cause this song's hard to sing... guess that's why they're the best!

the lighting is too extensive, i can't even see them!

[johnnyafm]

best song of the new album, it's awesome!!!

[budihollijr]

pretty good quality

[NowhereCode]

THE OFFSPRING's ability to play so good live makes them THE BEST BAND in our lifetime.

THE OFFSPRING 4 LIFE

[BrainRot666]

Jarvfrankenstein, nice call

[HalfTruism]

fuck yeah

[PunkPenguin08]

They ate fantastic live

[Jarvfrankenstein]

They must've been hungry.

[PunkPenguin08]

Lol oops

[Pikashoo]

LMAO! You just made me spit my drink out in laughter. XD

[alidan233]

man i was tripping balls at the lights

[spherez]

THE BANNER YOU'RE WAVING...

[elzach0]

chorus in this song is so strong!

[busternugent]

i got noodles pick from there :)

[hummero2]

ZOMG! i went to soundwave. he told us that it was a new song, n no1 knew wat it was. but it still rocked. OFFSPRING ROCKS!!

[0123dead4567]

amazing!!

[jonolomu]

AWESOME VID! THIS IS GREAT! You know ther's this other guy hus stolen your video! What a scab!

[sgtjcape]

hammerhead sounds like a nirvana song and rise and fall sounds like Green Day - American Idiot

[ILoveRebecka]

but it isnt!

[tukanghackganteng]

I think Offspring is Offspring,

but if you think Offspring is green day or nirvana

so youre expert stupid

YOURE NOT THEIR FANS!

BUY ALL THEIR ALBUM

and you will know why Million people love them

:)

[offspringgta]

have you ever completed one phrase in plain english?

[sgtjcape]

mad fuckin song! only it sounds like MCR - Helena!! anyone thinkso?

[GetAJob67]

xcept MCR sucks.

[PunkPenguin08]

No i think your dumb

[qilldmgg]

This song is a bit emo, but God damn it It's beautiful!

I love it

my favorite song on the Album

5/5

[osejava]

they are back in big style my first and still favourite band!!!!!

[dannysquirrel]

That song kicks ass!!! I expected yet another attempt at the success of Smash or Americana. It seems like they've finally just decided to write good music again and cut out the futillity of trying to re-awaken a previous success.Go Dex!!!

[Doredar]

fucking good song!!

[lilboxman14]

i'm glad offspring is back cause i'm getting bored of the gay music now like MCR,panic at the disco, fall out boy, and some other gay bands that i forgot. offspring> those 3 gay bands, haters, me

[Edethelegfrontman]

best fucking song of world <3

ive seen them in sopron (hungary) they ROCK

[patdunlop]

my chemical romance sings helena

[kevinator4]

favorite song by them now, OFFSPRING RULE!

[06aldhelms]

i think offspring have done amazingly well over the 23 years they've been together. They've stuck to punk for that long, without much change which shows loyalty to their fans and they are just as good now as they were in the 80's. This album does sound slightly different but it's still awesome. Well done offspring :)

[sebapiaget]

the song is called "half-truism"

[Manjimaru86]

bellissimaaaaaaaaaa

[Nnoukkiejj]

Wooow they still great! and they´re back with new rocking stuff...I will see them live in Madrid soon, sooo soon! Offspring rules!

[jo12134]

i see what you mean

[blaaawhaaa777]

the song your thinking of is helena i think

[Offspringtkaa]

?? who has made a song tht is called helena?

[whomeam]

That chorus soundsl ike the chorus of the My Chemical ROmance song where the music video was all... Army. I don't know the name, don't really listen to them but yeah.

[GreenDay1981]

That was "Ghosts Of You".

[springwiseFX]

i was there, the place turned iinto a dustbowl coz ground was so dry and everone was jumpin, coulnt see the stage sometimes

[Firhotz]

Hey , check out their songs in imeem. Uploaded by the offspring themselves (:

[rivermauro]

the offspring is the best greetings from argentina

[nelson3300]

hmm. the chorus reminds me of Fake I.D.'s rendition of "all or nothing" from punk goes pop :)

[badseed86]

sux balls...what happened to the real offspring?

[lucasbudega]

shut up newb

[LindseyT11]

nothing.

[xxiemofreakxx]

wtf r u talking about. the offspring still have their same old sound and beliefs with a new twist. i mean after 10 years you would want to change too. and if you're suggesting they've sold out, then they must have on their first album. seriously i don't know a single person who doesn't like the offspring. it doesn't matter if you're goth, punk, emo, prep, rich, poor, nerd, whoever even if you've never heard of them. everyone likes them. what can i say they make great music.

[badseed86]

oh i do like the offspring...I just wonder how many of the people who posted on all those comments in favour of them are actually gonna buy their new album...Their music has suffered after Americana

[HorosanNL]

I really like them now but they we're way better before they signed. Just listen to their first album, they doesnt have the punk sound anymore like on that album.

[cheesefroggah]

Guys, stop downrating them. They ARE right. They WERE better before. Their stuff from 1989-1999 was the best. Co1 and Splinter kinda blew it.

[mcmike1994]

i agree

i didnt even buy splinter, even though i own all of their other albums, i listened to my friend's copy and i though it just wasnt worth it, but this stuff is pretty good, even though it isnt another "americana"

[ILoveRebecka]

Splinter is better than Americana...

[SCIfiNUT69]

soundwave was awsome!!! the offspring r so much better live! + this song kicks ass!

[dantheman9703]

I wish they were on warped this year. That would make the best warped ever. At least for me:

The Briggs

Reel Big Fish

The Offspring

That would be amazing!!!

[DexterHolland412]

ne body know when this song is going to be released as a single if it is a single?

[KeijiMaeda86]

well the Album itself will be out in like 2weeks.

[piratewannabe2]

jsut search imeen, rise and fall, rage and grace. they ahve the WHOLE album on there. and it's leagal

[100mmhg]

yes yes yes yes yes

[Cutebunne]

nickld

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

i was there too at soundwave melb

you prolly dont realise how many offspring fans you pleased with this recording. can't wait for the album.

also, all the websites use this music version if you download the mp3. this has gone world wide :)

[nickld]

Glad you liked it! I can't believe I was the only one who recorded it though!

[Cutebunne]

i have 30 seconds of terrible quality on my fone :/ lol

[Flam3o]

Awesome song.

Just with there was a better quality video somewhere.

[bAdh007]

fuck MCR...

[ApoffiSak]

this is not MCR dude:)

[offspringlad]

This song is going to be MASSIVE if they release it!!! You just KNOW...with some songs...my word...THEY...ARE...BACK!!

[AnZenGR]

"if they release it"

What do u mean?

The album comes out June 17 is US.

The song is on there, i promise u xD.

Sverige!

[tiagomedeiros]

I think he´s talking about if it goes on radio, MTV, etc... After Hammerhead of course.

[AnZenGR]

Most likely, they want to make money right?;-)

[rivermauro]

i like hammerhead

[Cu5es]

оффы изменились! но попрежнему они охуенные

[SelfEsteemSMASH]

you guys should shut the hell up about that pussy emo band my chemical romance and just listen to the real music, THE OFFSPRING.

[hiddeninromance]

haha I can't believe people think its MCR just cause it goes half time at the chorus

a common practice by all bands!!!!

[juliagulia08]

damn it.... maybe if you guys read my shit corrcectly you will see that I'm telling you that MCR stole from the offspring wait let me be more fucking clear for you MCR STOLE, STOLE FROM THE OFFPSRPRING

[mrfist9277]

.... ok if you think that a band with albums like Smash, and Americana, each selling 10-15 million copies a piece stole a song from MCR, take the glue away from your nose, put the cap on and place it back in the drawer

[juliagulia08]

ummm.... maybe you didn't get what I was trying to say. My chemical romance was using the offsprings material a long time ago... the offspring have been playing for over 20 years now.... my chemical romance only has a few years under there belt

[Gparrish1]

lol ya, sry buddy...offsprings one of the only bands left that keep it original :/ sucks for u black haired kids that worship 'the emo' to know that they're the ones that can't play an original note if they tried

[juliagulia08]

you guys want to know what's funny. the first album that MCR made they ripped from the offspring's the kids aren't allright, I can't remember the song but it's track 3 or 4 and trust me the offspring have always used that same rift (damit i changed again) THE OFFSPRING RULE

[bloodmalik]

can't believe that people actually think this song sounds like mcr the tune is completely different and so are the lyrics, so screw MCR and long live the Offspring

[junkmail22]

This song is raaaad

[skatewatcher01]

best band i know

[jorge10206]

best band ever

[benedicto16]

four words:

HELENA-MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

[Rogasoukidan]

four more words:

you fail at life

[offhazel21]

2 words:

suck it

[palmerc2]

so you are saying that my chemical romance is better then the offspring?

1. The Offspring has a MUCH larger fan base

2. has mcr played any large festivals? The offspring has HEADLINED at Woodstock, MTV sports, KROQ weenie roast, and is headlining at Download this year.

50 million fans can't be wrong, the votes are non-arguably against your favor.

[benedicto16]

no no way im not saying that i like the offspring and is evident that they are so superior to my chemical romance im just saying that this song sounds like helena by mcr

[Brodbroddamned]

fuck you. Offspring > Me > you > mcr

[benedicto16]

Chuck Norris > Nirvana > Eric Cartman > Homer Simpson > Kenny > Me > Osama Bin Laden > and a lot of .... and at the end > you

[KeijiMaeda86]

No way.... other than the melancholy sound. Dexter's vocals are much better and nothing like Gerard's. Also it's not as hard/screamo as mcr, this is more punk/alternative.

you fail at comparing music.

[DaxterFan]

Ramen , brother

[blaktornado]

Hate to burst your bubble, but MCR headlined Download last year.

Anyway, I'll shut-up now as I'm a big fan of both bands, and a strong believer that music isn't a competition.

[cheesefroggah]

Hate to burst your bubble, you know they played right after Slayer and got totally fucked up by the crowd full of metalheads throwing bottles and rocks at them ? :D

[blaktornado]

I know. I was there.

They stilled played though, and even though they got bottled, I don't see how that means they DIDN'T play at a festival.

[AKG4life]

July 26th for Coloradans...

[Ntemio]

Offspring coming to Greece live for their first time ever on July 8.

HELL YEAH!!!!

[curlyred16]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[RustyCactus]

yessss finally....it's been several years probably since i've heard an album i liked.....with all of these crappy emo bands and stuff...cant wait for june 17th!

[That90sKid13]

[hanzospring]

[tironssss]

[Tomsedated]

my chemical gay romance..but mcr is shit anyway

[Vasilisk]

seems bad religion hahaha

[fxm83]

Amazing song, can't wait the new album!!! Just one month to wait but it seems one fuking year!!!!!!

[MitsukaixAndante]

lmfao people saying they ripped it from MCR. That is HILARIOUS. The Offspring have more dignity than that - trust us.

[IwillbeWaiting]

and 20 years more of playing MUSIC

[somitooo]

ok i have listened to that my chemichal romance that everyone was complaining about that this is a copy of. what is similar is kind of the structure seems the same, but the difference between this song and that is that this one is an awesome song while my chemicals is a piece of shit.

[punkrockeur18]

woooow

this new song rocksss!!!

[justcauser1992]

don´t get me wrong, i love it too

[dan28114]

offspring hate bands like my chemical romance, this song its better than helena

half-truism! awesome!

[ghostrga]

mcr can fuck off

this song rocks

the offspring are back

[justcauser1992]

i like offspring more than mcr but the difference between this song and helena is the name

[LucyEve11]

fucking MCR, i don't like this band.

Gerard Way hasn't balls in pants, like all MCR

Offspring is the best band!!! Maybe they could repeat good times.Who knows...:)

sorry for my bad english, i'm polish

Pozdrawiam jak to czytacie!

[rmckenzie65]

i stand corrected sorry dude lol

[rmckenzie65]

dude wtf u talkin about hammerhead sounds absolutly nothin like stay away, ashole

[benedicto16]

the last part of the song is a fucking copy of stay away (hammerhead)

[benedicto16]

jajajaja helena by chemical romance jajajaja copy copy copy

my god and in the other song hammerhead they copy stay away by nirvana

what is happening???
