The Showdown - A Monument Encased In Ash (Live)

[LWRCftw]

the riff sounds SO much like Chimaira's The Flame.

[tristannolan85]

pantera is a heavy influence of this band thats why you hear the similarities

[tjbreez1]

coll song right

[Harrysound]

Trivium/Pantera/Metallica/Kill­switch Engage

Actually a pretty kick arse combination!

[jonnyshredfayce]

I've seen them live before. They were freaking awesome! I'm seeing them again this summer :D

[jonnyshredfayce]

I'm seeing them again at Icthus. Oh YEAH!

[sictwiztidlette]

seen them live and thats when i fell in love with them! awesome!

[neroxtreme1380]

Yeah, The Showdown have pretty consistently been the sickest live experience I've ever had. I've seen them going on 8 or 9 times now, and I've never seen them play a bad show. They absolutely destroy every single time I've seen them.

[Kelthuzad126]

They have always done that, me and my old band use to play shows with em.

[Dubster80]

Wish I could have seen them live at ichthus, would have been a second best band experience, first would be demon hunter, cause that would make my head explode...possibly. But nooo, the group I was with decided to go to a pizza place, so I missed it, and we can't go by ourselves which sucks even more. by the time we got back, they were already packing up, luckely I got to get an audograph from the lead singer, wish it was bigger, could hardly see it. Funny thing is he didn't have an accent

[MrJESSROX]

Christian metal Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't send me any lame comments on how it sucks. because if you are listening to this you know it Rules anyway!!!!!!!!!!

[kohlllll]

[jonnyshredfayce]

[kohlllll]

[cannon1001]

@jonnyshredfayce Did you see them both nights?

[CoRpSeFucKeR3384]

HOLY SHIT!

[drakeislegend]

well, they did admit to copying pantera once live, its actually on their myspace song.

[ChaosVidal]

I dont care what anyone says, thats definately copied off of Pantera, modified a bit, regardless, I love both bands, so cry about my comment, I dont care, dont change the fact that they are both good bands , I mean, who doesnt copy off of pantera nowadays, most metal singers try to mimic phil, and to me, you cant get a better guitar sound than dimebaggs chainsaw riffs

[acusticadam]

They're comin to cumberland Tommar!

So fuckin pumped!!!!

[tommywales]

this is cool

[metalisgreaterthanu]

i saw them when they let their first album out, before many people knew about them

[punkybrewster511]

i work with david;;the leader singerrrr!!!!!

[Sirshine]

i have seen them live, they came to my school and played like 2 years ago. There awsome, they would have to be the best one that played out all 7 bands.

[SleepingOnRoof]

MAN I WANNA SEE THESE GUYS LIVE SO BADLY!!!

I JUST WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT THESE GUYS!!!!!!

Watch in a while, these guys will one of the greatest Metal artists of the century.

[august13243]

i saw them a couple weeks ago and it was awesome! you definately should. i recomend it.

[ChaosVidal]

the one riff during the breakdown or right before where the guitarist is using a wah peddle...that riff was straight stolen from Pantera's song "The Great Southern Trendkill"

[SleepingOnRoof]

um dude...if you didn't know, these guys are a Metallica-Pantera influenced band..

[MyAvengedOATH]

oh snap

[metalisgreaterthanu]

doesnt give them an excuse to copy. i love these guys bought just cause youre influenced doesnt mean you can copy riffs

[SleepingOnRoof]

Bro there are millions of riffs out there, many of them sounding similar, it can be fairly similar I will admit but not EXACTLY the same.

[Kounnas]

very true...it's the same with drum beats(cause i play drums),every once and a while there's something that sounds very similar but isn't exactly the same

[juddrizzo]

@SleepingOnRoof Agree. First thing I thought of was Pantera, when I heard that one riff. (It's very hard to ignore.) The rest of the song is quite different.

[tjbreez1]

tjbreez1 who is the leader of this viedo.

[Danerage]

SleepingOnRoof, no shit. Who isn't influenced by Metallica/Pantera in the metal scene? That doesn't excuse the fact that this is a blatant ripoff. If they had talent of their own they could write their own music.

[SuperiorGuitars]

Dude, chill.

The Showdown has more talent then MANY other bands i've seen.

And its ONE riff, jeez. So what? Who DOESN'T copy from Pantera?

[pantera2012]

What riff are you y'all talking about?

[MonstersNightmare]

@SuperiorGuitars Well, as I say, you can only have so many variations within a certain range of a few notes, similarities will happen. For example, what metal band HAS NOT muted open strings?

[SuperiorGuitars]

lol I don't thats a wah pedal.

[Revolutionized21]

They don't sound that good live, subs r terrible, and ruining everything I'd honestly like to see this song on Guitar Hero 4 though, that would be an excellent expert song. I'd like to try it haha.

[phantomfreak1010]

damn there good live

[basketballife11]

the showdown rocked the house when i saw them and it wasnt becuase everyother band sucked pillar, decyfer down and day of fire played and all were amazing but the showdown took the cake

[shtyrmthopnyrmnd]

what I meant by the showdown is horribal live is that they are way better on the cd duh!! I do love the showdown by the way they are the most amasing band ever there music I mean.

[xt3freakk]

Just awesome!!!! I love these guys!!!

ROCK ON!

[shtyrmthopnyrmnd]

the showdown is horrible live!!!

[Izzyman9]

Your horrible live!

[Alex795]

sickkkk

[gubbelparty]
