Thursday - Understanding in a Car Crash (live)

[soupnaziruckus]

ok looked at this to see who they were since playing Soundwave.. LOL! Look at the emotional youths 'moshing'. Glad I will be well away from the emo stage when these geese take the stage.

[lilonelove1019]

@xeatmytoastx thank you! Finally someone with a brain! Im tired of being called "emo" because of peoples utter stupidity!

[xeatmytoastx]

Why cant music be emotional and not get hatted on... i mean yeah this music is emotional but it doesn't mean every person that listens to it is a pussy emo bitch! i get emotional all the times doesnt mean i get classified as "emo" but come on who gives a shit its music... one of my favorite songs by the way :D

[VicRattlehead79]

@xeatmytoastx

I totally agree.

I listen to a variety of music like Death Metal, Jazz, Rock n Roll, etc.

I think this band and many others are awesome.

[granmanwitdaplan]

haha thats me at 2:41 crowd surfing with the big ass sideburns and spiky hair....now I'm bald lol

[redemption762]

All music is by nature "Emo" or "Emotional" to the person who wrote it and the fans that love it. The term "Emo" now is basically a term adopted by children so they can feel bad for themselves. What makes "Emo" even more fake is that there is a dress code lol. 10 years ago the punk scene was far better than it is now. A lot of whats out today is garbage. Go back ten years ago and the scene had awesome bands and labels. Now its mostly sad group of boy bands.

[RomeSkateFoSho]

@redemption762 the scene is still excellent. Bands like Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate), Envy, Kidcrash are keeping the genre from dying, and Topshelf Records and all of it's branch offs have a multitude of excellent emo/emotive post-hardcore bands.

[RadioWar1212]

2:11 lol. Thursday is the best

[stripesthebird]

is anyone else really disappointed in the sound quality on this dvd? The mix is really bad and the tone sucks. It sounds like the sound tech was drunk of his ass or something.

[stripesthebird]

@stripesthebird don't get me wrong, the performances are really good, it's just the recording quality that I don't like.

[ckreticeland]

@stripesthebird nothing wrong with that, it's all opinion, eh? =]

[2000amp]

@stripesthebird Nope, it's not bad at all. They could have compressed the base and put more drive and less distortion on the lead guitar. Btw it's not the sound tech what ever you are referring to. But it's the final sound that gets masted in the studio.

[guitargamer1228]

y the fuck is this so fast? great song anyway

[koshiwaza]

@guitargamer1228

tucker rule has gone insane! sa fast! damn great!

[ollietoots50]

Thursday and Dance Gavin Dance are fucking awesome! Two favorite bands!

[brownmike8882]

what dvd is this? i wanna buy it!!!

[ckreticeland]

kill the house lights. it's a good cd. there are some unreleased tracks on it as well as a live dvd. buy it!!

[951Biatch]

Sounds great i think!

[stripesthebird]

I wish they hadn't autotuned Geoff's voice on that DVD. It sucked all of the emotion out of teh vocals. Really a mistake.

[brownmike8882]

how do u know they did that?

[stripesthebird]

I don't know. I'm only speculating. It's just that it doesn't sound like his regular voice. He seem s to hit very high notes without breaking up like he normally does, and he lacks the lows and richness that it usually has.

[itakethesquare]

in a crash

[JeanHancok]

One of the best  !! Excelent song !!

[battlehymn41]

i really liked acbtld, but im not that crazy about their newest single, resuscitation of a dead man.

[flakmonkeynick]

damn... i want to see them so bad. so talented. even live which makes me really happy. a lot of bands can only do it on a record, but not this one.

[ihaveniceass]

Amazing sound quality. Nice video quality too

[ckreticeland]

ha thanks! make sure u press the "watch in high quality" button above the view counter if u haven't already =)

[ultrazproductions]

The song that change the way i look at music. To be frank, THE reason i still love music and pursue making artistic music as passionate as Thursday's one day.

[TheDrizzle8114]

yeh they made me wanna pick up my guitar again.

[ultrazproductions]

Besides Rickley's unwavering vision of passionate sincerity, the band its self is the best element. In this song for example, very few times does the whole band play the same thing, every band member has a totally different part that gels together in some magical way.

[TheDrizzle8114]

There really isnt a way to describe the shear beauty and magic these guys produce. I cant compare thursday to anyone else, or anyone to them. They are Thursday. One of the most unique, and inspirational bands, to me anyways.

[ultrazproductions]

What really pisses me off these days is that it really takes balls to tell people that Thursday is one of the best bands of this time because people see them as "emo", as in "my girlfriend left me and i complain about trivial things". Thursday is a about being an incitefull, introspectfull band thats music is about subjects ranging from tragic history to racial bigotry. They make "human" music that is about real emotion instead of trying to be cool by exclaiming "i'm a tough devil from hell!"

[TheDrizzle8114]

Well if people opened their ears or read thedamn lyric book, u'll realize real fast that this isnt "emo". But it is. Thursday is an emotional band. With True and honest emotion and feeling. I think the things Geoff has seen is his life have been portrayed beautifully though his music. Jet Black New Year for example. Reading the story in the 5 stories falling booklet then listening to the song, its just amazing. And the band just captures the emotion so well.

[ultrazproductions]

Another thing i like about Thursday is that they don't just make great songs, they make great CDs. They always start and end very strong, except for Waiting. With the lyrics, most band's lyrics have a double meaning but with Thursday, most of the time the lyrics have quadruple meanings that can definitely be interpreted any which way. Mathematically, you can eventually figure out the true meaning to the lyrics. I still believe 12:03 is a reference to drug use, heroine to be more specific.

[TheDrizzle8114]

oh yea, the cds they make are solid all the way though, my favorite will always be war all the time, what an awesome record. and whats even more amazing about that is, after watching kill the house lights, is how fast they did that record, almost in a half assed attempt. At least thats how they made it seem when discussing it. I grew up with these guys in NJ and watched em in clubs and turn into what they are now, and man, they were just as greta then as now. They stay true to themselves.

[ultrazproductions]

Thats freaking awesome. Tommorrow I'll Be You is such an amazing last song, one of Rickley's best sounding vocals, besides Autumn Leaves Revisited. On the subject of sound change, i hope that they don't get too "dancey" with the new music.

[TheDrizzle8114]

I was pleased with the new split EP they did with envy. The reason Cities was so commercial sounding was because of their record label, Island. They left there and the new songs of KTHL and Split go back to their original sound.

[ultrazproductions]

I never thought of it like that, damn label. ACBTLD had a couple great songs (eventhough a bit poppy). Other Side, Sugar, Running and Autumn Leaves were all great songs, but not the kind of Thursday that gets my head bangin' and my brain thinkin'. If you watch that video entitled "Tarbox" you get to hear the guitars in one of the new songs, it sounds so awesome and i can just feel the intensity that they might be bringing forth with this album. I just hope they have more "breakdowns" on this

[TheDrizzle8114]

yeh notice thursday has been on so many different labels? Its because they want to be Thursday not a puppet. The new record should be very good and I cant wait for it. and Cities wasnt a bad record by any stretch, but it wasnt their best. They are now labelmates with story of the year at epitah and they let story do what they want so this could be a great thing

[ultrazproductions]

If Epitaph was able to make something out of Offspring, they should be able to do something with Thursdizzle. What i like most is the fact that (yes, Story Of The Year is nothing like Thursday and are pop-punkish) they commercialized SOTY heavily and yet never asked them to take out any of the screaming. That is what Thursday needs, a label that never asks them to change and is willing to get their name out there with the band's original "vision" in mind.

[TheDrizzle8114]

I must say, SOTYs last 2 cds blow page avenue away. Again examples of labels letting artists be artisits. Epitaph will definatly promote Thursday's music and allow them to be them. Im sure the new record will be what they want it to be like. which should be awesome

[poopoopcaca]

in a nice way does anyone realize how much control smaller labels actually have... it's alot... big labels do not have much control if you are making money because at that point you have the option to move around freely through out the biz.... im just sayin get it right, i wont ay who im with but i can say this since i am signed to a larger label and listen my friends playing the game a little is sometimes wise because of thursdays bad biz decisons we may not have them around that much longer.

[michaelfrie]

This is the peoples band... our voice. No matter what label they are on they will always get OUR point of view across!

[ckreticeland]

that isnt necessarily true. their most successful album War All The Time was another one that was released on Island, and that album had all the original sounds basically. the reason a city by the light divided was so different was because it was the first album with the official membership of their keyboardist. it explains this all in the dvd, which is where i got this live vid from

[james619]

exactly. real musical fans should know this is real emo. no crap. no trendy bullshit. just strip down sincere emo music for the wise man.

[TheDrizzle8114]

yup emo is just another label assholes wore out and ruined.....

like R&B....

[vampiricdave]

@TheDrizzle8114

R&B isn't a label, it's a genre...rhythm and blues.

[joshs3rdaccountbtw]

YES!

[koshiwaza]

@james619

who you calling emo? try to understand the lyrics man...

in a car crash..... lol

[DocSicnarf]

@james619 man, this isn't emo. this is post hardcore if anything. Emo is such a stupid name for it.

[ckreticeland]

@DocSicnarf it is emo music tho. and its post hardcore.
