I Am Empire - "Brain Damage"

[godlykoala]

I Am Empire is basically what MCR was supposed to be, before they decided that LG's were a good fanbase of course.

[Interestingenough4]

This kinda reminds me of My Chemical Romance.

[iiwou]

well. this sounds intresting, in a good way

[NiteMareVamp]

Man, this singer has the same great energy as the singers from Aiden and Billy Talent. Feel free to disagree, anyone; I just feel that it's refreshing when frontmen have this much energy. :)

[dylanorse1550]

I think the singer is tweaking or something like that... lulz.. Great band though! :D

[GoldenshotHD]

CUNT FUCK PRICK ;)

[aerbourne117]

adam lambert?

[CrowandButterfly100]

haha he sings like hes high or something

[mattleo1992]

this should have more views!!

[Element115fl]

it's so sad to see people are too busy worrying about religion and forgetting it's about the music. so people cuss, grow up. at least their enjoying a CHRISTIAN band if they have no religion. it offends Christians when people swear but it offends me when a pastor shouts in my face that I'm going to hell because I wan't a tattoo or because I love my girlfriend enough to express it physically without marriage.

[norasturn]

Guys, it's sad to see people discussing everywhere. Just enjoy the music (:

[badass12356]

FUCK SWEARING IS SO GODDANM FUCKING COOL no its not i just like to piss bible humpers off

[naryneitred]

Anyone else notice that there is somebody whispering "hey, pss, hey man" before the song starts?

[RyanXJames11]

@lovesproutorg gonna send you a message

[RogerTheRocker]

This band rocks. Haha, the singer sounds kinda like a young Dave Mustaine to me.

[crazystrongtower]

dang that singer is having a spaz attack

[Bjorlinzach123]

Actually cropduster, Jesus is recorded in history, he was real, n so were the things that were done to him, the only arguememt ppl have is if he is who he said he is.

[CaIadai]

@Bjorlinzach123 then show me the records then and if you say the bible I will slap you. I doupt jesus like moses existed. there are no evidance. and the the historical files from that era has to be filterd anyway for religious mobo jombo like walking on water.

[CropDuster33]

@Bjorlinzach123 prove it, wheres the evidence?

[RyanXJames11]

@Bjorlinzach123 to be fair you don't know shit about history or religion :) jesus is not in recorded history the bible does not count. (go ahead and bitch but it truly doesn't count for shit)NO historian wrote anything down about him. In fact jesus actually has the EXACT fucking story as horas down the the names in some points. Horas was around long before jesus oddly enough jesus only came into the picture after rome invaded egypt. in fact all religions "gods" have so much shit in common.

[erinire17]

@RyanXJames11 Actually, one defining difference between the Christian God and gods of other religions is that He is the only one who truly loves, heals, and forgives. In fact, He still loves you right now, even as you deny Him. Nice try though, I appreciate your effort.

[RyanXJames11]

@Bjorlinzach123 if your gonna say jesus was in recorded history do some research. All religion is based on pagan lore. Even the fucking Christianity symbol the cross is pagan.

[lovesproutorg]

@RyanXJames11 You should read about Josephus, a Jewish writer who did not believe Jesus was the Christ, but admits to his existence. And, yes Josephus is one of the most credible writers and historians of the 400BC to 80AD.

[jdthebigone]

Sounded perfect til i heard and saw the fsggoty lead singer.... :|

[CropDuster33]

religion is a crock of shit and god is a superstition. jesus is a fucking character in a book you morons he is NOT real.

[steviewonder74CEA]

@CropDuster33 Actually Jesus is known to have existed, his burial ground was found and everything. And the Twelve apostles (well, eleven of them) were all recorded in Roman history.

The real debate is whether he is what he said. And that I will not try to argue with you because I can't.

[CropDuster33]

@steviewonder74CEA Ok mabey some guy existed named jesus who was smarter than the average bear for his day, the jesus as portrayed in the bible is not real at all.

[supermnm10]

@CropDuster33, ok let me tell you something, i am a christian, so lets pretend, what if jesus wasent real, so when we die, you lose nothing and i lose nothing, but what if he was real you would lose everything and i get everything when we die.. i do belive in christ, and i think you should to, i will pray for you, ps. jesus still loves you no matter what! :)

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@supermnm10 that's Voltaire's way of thinking. "The bet of faith ia a bet worth taking." It doesn't amuse me at all. I don't disrespect your belief, but what you said is a little absurd and hypocritical (no offense). It's absurd because I could apply the same kind of thinking to norse gods or the egyptian pantheon and it would still maintain the same logic. It's hypocritical because would you prefer someone to convert moved by fear of punishment or because he truly believes in Jesus?

[supermnm10]

ok so i guess your right, but the diffrence between christianity and other religons is when you feel empty inside, you fell angry or depresed God is always there and you van feel it , loving the slmighty God is not only s religon its a way of life.

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@supermnm10 To each his own.

I have a dear christian friend, so I don't dislike you just because you have different views from mine :D

[supermnm10]

i dont dislike you either, or anyone at all, even though i have some pretty bad anger issues

that i pray that i can cotrol them every night, its just that i want to share the love of God to every one the way God loved on me. So i pray that you will see what i mean, but one thing i dont is that we dont have to agree to disagree. and if you like if your going through anything i will listen to every word.

[CaIadai]

@supermnm10 so you only belive in jesus because he can give you stuff? like eternal life and happiness.. thats total selfishness and greed if you ask me.

[neon3188]

@CaIadai I don't think that's his reason for believing in Jesus at all man, though I can't speak for him. For me it's all a matter of spirituality and yes it is a selfish thing, the son of God giving his life so that believers won't know death. There's a MASSIVE difference between saying "I believe" and showing it though. You can tell it about some people without them ever admitting it or shoving it in your face. Those are the believers I like. Actions speak louder than words yadda yadda

[hiddenwithwords2]

@CropDuster33 dude how do you know he's not real. if he didn't excist how do you know about him?

[CropDuster33]

@hiddenwithwords2 because someone told me he exists... and I didn't believe them. lol duh

[hiddenwithwords2]

@hiddenwithwords2 ok not gonna judge u coz that's dumb i dont even know you lol but what makes you not believe in him? (not trying to start an argument lol)

[tjamescee]

dcbluvr - read what Paul says about crude language in the Bible. If you tell me where you live, I'd be happy to share the"Samson" story with you - jawbone and all.

[squwelchy000]

Hmmm. Is it a coincidence that nearly all the music videos on T&N Records that I've seen in the last 15 minutes or so have all had people taking offense to Christianity and feeling like they have to debate it, like it's going to change someone's opinion or something? I mean, call me thick-headed, but what's the point to it? Why don't we just... watch the video and thumb it up or down? Why do we all-of-a-sudden have to critique and debate each other, from how we talk to what we believe?

[AsTheDayDies]

@squwelchy000 I agree! Debating is the most notorious waste of time. Especially over religion.

[darkomataliv]

@squwelchy000 exactly what I feel lol.

[Bloodtoxx]

@squwelchy000 All-of-a-sudden? Where have you been? That's always been human nature.

[charfrenchify]

Pretty funny band LIVE...this song brings back memories, they are fun!!!

[IAmEmpireRock]

Why all the hostility towards each other on this video? If you don't like it, don't watch it! ROCK AND ROLL!

[theKAITLYINmassacare]

he reminds me of elvis ahaha thats bomb

[VaporGraphics]

@davidcrowderbandluvr i hear christian's cussing all the time. 

[TwyTcha]

@VaporGraphics it's about your conviction, if they aren't convicted not to swear, they will swear won't they? Meh, I just think swearing is for people who haven't extended their vocabulary far enough to think of something better to say. It just isn't classy. That's my two cents about it.

[davidcrowderbandluvr]

@sphincter175 that was not cool. We will see who gets the last laugh when Jesus comes back.

[xTiMw]

@davidcrowderbandluvr How can something that does not exist come back? o_o

[neoliver]

@xTiMw He existed. There is proof in the census that was taken when Jesus was born and not just in the Bible.

[davidcrowderbandluvr]

@MikesImpossibleShows yes they r a christian band... I listen to them all the time on 89.7 power fm. They r a Christian rock station

[MikesImpossibleShows]

r they a christian band ?

[neoliver]

@MikesImpossibleShows yes they are a Christian band.

[danielMC96]

@MikesImpossibleShows This is an upcoming band but sure they are christian! That's so nice, the christian music world needs better music! ;D

[BeforeMyRosalyn]

These dudes are cool. Wish they'd get a bit heavier though.

[XsteveX49]

This song is made for you if you like alternative rock;)

[YourNeonLove]

I love how old people say this is the music satan worshippers listen to, when they're a christian band.

[davidcrowderbandluvr]

Please don't curse in ur comments. This is a Christian band. Cursing isn't as cool as u think.

[sphincter175]

@davidcrowderbandluvr FUCKING FAGGOT

[XesLanaRm]

@davidcrowderbandluvr t(^-^t) Fucker

[jekyllnhydebaby]

@davidcrowderbandluvr fuck you ;)

[AngelicOutcast]

@davidcrowderbandluvr This may be a "Christian" band but since when does that mean that the rest of us have to stop using every day words. Also before you tell other people to correct their speech, please learn how to spell "your" and "you" it's not all that difficult.

[charfrenchify]

@jdthebigone Wow, may God have mercy on your soul for your ignorance...sad

[DrawenStandard]

@davidcrowderbandluvr Fuck that...see what I did there?

[CaIadai]

@davidcrowderbandluvr The fuck? christian rock? id admit this song is alright but christian music in general is crap.

[robert181857]

@davidcrowderbandluvr They are words, and like the ones you spoke, only get the meaning each and every person gives them. Otherwise, they are empty and meaningless. Get over it. 

[Woupme]

@davidcrowderbandluvr Christian?? So what? Look at Demon Hunter, Underoath, As I Lay Dying... Think they can throw a little "fuck" now and then even though they are christian

[TheRomeoSweet]

@davidcrowderbandluvr Fuck fuck fuck. Why should we not curse because of their beliefs? They dont see this and are affected in no way by it. So if i feel cursing is acceptable why should i be censored?

[NaruSaku2006]

@davidcrowderbandluvr oh get the fuck off here asshole

[ThaVirus210]

@davidcrowderbandluvr Neither is religion XD

[aerbourne117]

@davidcrowderbandluvr cursing isnt an unchristianly thing

[darkomataliv]

@davidcrowderbandluvr Not all people curse because they think their cool. Also, it doesn't matter if their a christian band, a lot of christian bands curse themselves.

[Residew]

@davidcrowderbandluvr Fuck god.

[TheRejoice7]

@davidcrowderbandluvr cursing has nothing to do with belief. It has to do with expression. it's how certain people express opinions.

[davidcrowderbandluvr]

Kk these comments aren't very appropriate. This band is a Christian band and I am in love with Christian rock. Please don't curse in ur comments. It's not cool.

[xJordan360]

@davidcrowderbandluvr I've got an idea. How about you don't curse in your own comments, and let other people speak their minds. If someone feels like saying "fuck" adds emphasis to what they are saying in a comment, let them. It isn't your place to say what people are allowed to say on a video comment. If it bothers you, just be the bigger person and hell, I dunno, ignore it. Don't be the ass hat who tries to censor everyone.

[jaimes559]

this song is bad ass i like it :)

[suicideiceraven]

this song could be better, all of the music is good, the guitarist the dude on bass and the drummer, are all good. vocalist fu**ing sucks though.

[JacoTheSkunk]

@suicideiceraven Agreed. I was rocking out until that singer started "singing". Barf.

[hahntheorc666]

psst... hey... hey man..

[GDaok284Eva]

Holy friggn shot bawlz dude!!! ;))) hahaha lol

This band is like gunna murder their audience with their vocals and guitar!! It's bombn good dude!! This band will end up becoming one of the greatest live bands in the world I'm sure;))

[veewuvhugs]

Ok the lead singer is just adorable and somehow reminds me of Gerard way

[beingthewanted94]

if the devil wears prada was more of a hard rock band instead of metal core they would sound like this... awesome

[Singer95ify]

@beingthewanted94 haha tdwp will never change to hardrock, their to amazing to do that :) , sorry but their my fav band haha

[JesustasticCats]

DAMN this guys stage presence is electrifying. So awesome

[tigergirl7854]

ok the lead singer is just adorable. and its a wonderful song. :3

[FridaysWithVin]

[OrbofShingeki]

[teenbooksjc]

[teenbooksjc]

@teenbooksjc I mean, I did like the song

[jakedodsonjake]

my chem singer wanna be

[MtgVeteran]

you have something on your face

[afropunk100]

U gotta admit the engineering on this is pretty awesome...in my humble opinion

[Harley0barley]

@afropunk100 dude you mean mixing and mastering, engineering is just the process of seting up microphones and recording all the recording mumbojumbo, mixing and mastering is where the overall tone/sound comes in

[jekyllnhydebaby]

@afropunk100 i never noticed, thanks for pointing that out :D

[duckyman325]

Lame

[FrostWhite]

hasn't this song been made already? Sounds like the same generic shit

[Atreyu1611]

he starts the video like he has brain damage...the singer has a weird ass hairdo as well

[leemarie703]

@Atreyu1611 hahaha lmao! ikr! but they aint bad well atleast in my opinion (they allright)

[zero423]

the lead singers movments in the beginning are so funny

[imisePic123]

oohh! nice bass!

[gamerbookoo]

yes....he acts like he has "Brain Damage" lol

[TheJoshshields]

my chemical romances better side

[SimpleStyx]

I was watching ToothAndNailTV, and Hammers And Anvils came on, and I decided I didn't like I Am Empire.

Then, I got music from my cousin, and she put I Am Empire on my iPod.

I am in love now <3

[ZombiesHaveMoreFun11]

saw them at Spirit West Coast This Yearr!!! >:DD

[Dirtysouth12100]

32 people dont have brain damage

[RavePartyy]

AWESOME!



[RikuXisXmineX45]

Headbanging~!!!!! xD

[ruthiekrager]

Austin reminds me of Darby Crash live. Which is awesome!

[spidertroy4]

you like tooth and nail artists??? Check out "And the Hero Prevails"

Search up "And the Hero Prevails - Alligator"

You wont be disappointed, i promise.

[captainawesome830]

This dude looks like if Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hanks had a baby together.

[DrUmK1nG95]

so i take it Eddie Cano just joined the band?

[1996sparkles]

32 people have brain damage...

[4444johnnyboy4444]

i like how almost everyone here left a comment about that guy xD i like his energy lmao

[mwrightp]

@spinabunch i actually was thinking that too, and then i read your comment and laughed!

[efatarocks]

@jesterfail I haven't seen the Chariot live but I have heard their music and they scream too much for me

[tubian323]

Oh, and the singer reminds me of a young Tom Hanks at times.

[tubian323]

I wonder if the drummer only plays with a kick, snare, crash and hi-hat at live performances.. Kind of limiting. But it could just be for the video.

[punksNOTdead60]

wow they suck bad

[LinillaVanilla]

@punksNOTdead60 the video, eh, its okay, just because the drummer and bassist weren't really rocking out, but man, their music, AWESOME! and in concert, these guys rock the house! The lead singer, Austin's, energy is just so fun! seriously, if this is all you've heard of them, dig deeper, they rock!

[punksNOTdead60]

@LinillaVanilla thanks ill look into them more. always looking for new music. thanks for not being a dick also

[snowmanbuddie]

I love the lead singers hair and his passion :)

[A7XGroupie767]

This song reminds me of Stay Together for the Kids for some reason x)

[Bobcat1218]

When I showed this video to my friend he said,"ok now I know the singer is a freak". Lol. But he don't know what he likes.

[jibbyjs]

I dont mean to be. well, Yess I do, mean to be judgmental. I think this band is a FAKE!!!!! Something in the lead singers eyes, tellls a story of hatred. and his eyes say that his heart is not truly for the Lord.

[sharnigen99]

@jibbyjs Hey jibbyjs, when did you get this magical power that enables you to see someone's entire motivation, emotional state as well as their heart and spiritual standard simply by looking at their eyes

[nineistheman]

@jibbyjs I don't mean to be....well yes I do mean to be judgemental. By that comment you seem really FAKE!!!!! By judging the lead singer it seems to me that you tell a story of hatred. It seems to me that your heart is not truly for the lord.

[thisismyfcukingemail]

@nineistheman You'll enjoy life a lot more when you learn to think for yourself.

[1996sparkles]

@jibbyjs okay, I TOTALLY disagree with you. Have you heard Hammers and Anvils? "It's hope that has embraced me, and my God who won't forsake me, sweet Jesus, you're amazing!" I guess you have to see these guys in concert (three times for me) but I can assure you, these guys are for real.

[christanmetal89]

@jibbyjs dont bash people u dont know

[Taylorcoastie]

he looks like a fag, sings like a fag, looks like a fag while singing... but other than that, good stuff

[djc0010]

@JTropp92 He's also kinda creepy in the "Hammers & Anvils" video, but not this creepy.

[djc0010]

The lead singer is creepy.

[christanmetal89]

@djc0010 u say creepy ha llok at the freaks adam lambert marilyn manson. and gaga haQ. this guy is better then all of them

[djc0010]

@christanmetal89 I agree, they're all in a different world, but I'm just sayin', even if not as much as them, this guy's a little off.

[christanmetal89]

@djc0010 true but u cant help but watchin it. so hows u

[djc0010]

@christanmetal89 Pretty good. Been watching Manafest's new video for "Bring the Ruckus." Best song I've ever heard by him. Go to the BECRecordings channel to find it since it won't come up in a search.

[christanmetal89]

@djc0010 i willi love manafest.

[christanmetal89]

@djc0010 try this out silverline song get it right

[djc0010]
