Alexisonfire - Polaroids of Polar Bears

[MinusTheTbird]

I went out and bought a Reverb pedal just because of this song.

[KcazafraDoyle]

Fuck dallas greenn lmaooo  ..he left the band D:

[krtmitch]

opinions on thursday?

[TheCDVigil]

@krtmitch Dude I practically cried when I heard.

[RaefBraithwaite1]

I watch pingu with this in the background, lol

[rissx]

So sad to hear they broke up... they were such a great band at one time, no one like them.

[nejucis]

R.I.P alexisonfire

[CrapManPrettyBoy]

Hemmorrhoids on Pooey Hairs.

[CzarYourselfBrett]

@CrapManPrettyBoy you're right, it's a true story! *sobs*

[SuperDFXX]

miss them.

[TheTruthDominates]

fucking love it. Boxes of cats,

People with Taz tattoos,

Explosive personalities,

Self-centeredness,

Protractor from your new geometry set,

Inability to do math,

Geography.

[Bunomous]

i was an awesome kid. everybody else listened to barney

[88fenton]

I heard Alexis has split up due to george leaving to join gallows because frank carter left. Anyone know if this is true, I hope it's not!

[cinemaguzzo69]

@88fenton dallas left for city and colour, man

[X3MUSEWOOO]

@88fenton Dallas left for C&C and Wade left for Gallows.. they were gonna continue without Dallas but after Wade left they saw no point.

[fender714]

@88fenton Actually, Dallas left first to focus on City & Colour full time, Wade left to be the new vocalist and guitarist for Gallows, which left George and the rest of the guys bandless.

[TheReman5000]

why do you people come on here and bash this music? we like what we like, and thats just the way it is, i dont go on to a "donnie & marie osmond" paige, or a "micheal bolton" paige and rip your type of music! enough with the stupid comments

[TheAlecore]

the intro give me butterflyes D:

[fxhntng]

If only he didn't sing.

[TheFlightofIndigo]

Goodnight sweet prince, alexisonfire :'(

[borseforce]

silver packs fudge 

[MLife19]

@borseforce THUNDER COCK!!!!

[KelzZero]

I LOVE THIS BAND! 

[27sliver27]

FUCK i was so pumped at first, then the singer started throwing up into the mic, this band has a bad reputation for making legendary intros and then turning it into shit with death medal screamo bullshit

[alexthelion81]

@27sliver27 YOU

ARE

A

DIPSHIT

and u just made that up lol they do not have a bad reputation for that.

[27sliver27]

@alexthelion81 for a certain group of ppl its a reputation

exellent instrumental parts and then they cake it in garbagey screamo

[chosentonessournotes]

@27sliver27 Haha, oh young one... They were doing this shit before "screamo" (this isn't screamo at all, by the way) was ever even close to being popular. They were new, original, and unique when this album came out in like 2002 or 2003. Whatever it was. I can't remember exactly. But hey, if you don't like it, feel free to see yourself out.

[27sliver27]

Respond to this video...  the good part of this song lies from 0:00- 1:20 and from 3:23- 4:27

the rest of the song should have just been made like that

[Eliastingstrm]

@27sliver27 death medal screamo bullshit!

[12ozElephant]

The intro sounds like a post-rock track.

[foxtrot089]

playlists are not allowed ehh, fuck you!

[musterdsandwich]

ELROY JETSON!

[NumbersAndMumbles]

Intro is so mellow

[x8alexisonfire9x]

TheOnlyBandEver.

[br4ve]

self titled > anything they have done since except MAYBE watchout!

[Turbeh1]

@br4ve switcharoo was pretty badass

[TheMarksmansam]

@br4ve Watchout is good.. Self titled is good. Crises is good. The switcharoo Series = Amazing... everything else doesn't exist

[HeyitsAl3c]

Greatest intro to a song i think Ive ever heard.

[lambsbecomelionstv]

CHECK OUT JESSE (THE OLD DRUMMER OF ALEXISONFIRES NEW BAND!)

JUST CLICK ON OUR USER NAME AND YOU CAN WATCH OUR SUMMER 2011 EPK!

[Georgelogan]

@lambsbecomelionstv just wasnt good.

[JoelVert]

Anyone know what dallas has writtin on his fingers? I know that one hand is life or live, but the other....

It's because i got tattoued Live Ur Life on my fingers and i discover he got that too after. :P

[foofightersforever18]

@JoelVert he has true love on the tops of his fingers and then closer to his finger nails he has 1980 and life

[TheReman5000]

@JoelVert love;hate

[0JamesT88]

its too bad secret society makes way for these sad songs they sing. In a way they warn us to never follow their path. Happiness by the kilowatt is all about that. They say with the right dreams and the right friends it could surely work. In the end, this is NOT what they would call fun.. U led to believe is has a different meaning but listen closely and u will see the pain in they're words

[jSNATCHGRABv]

@0JamesT88 this song never fails to bring me joy no matter how dark it is. to each there own mate.

[SlayerPagey]

Can anyone name some songs that have similar themes to the intro of this song? I am in love with it <3

[AaronTieLee]

@SlayerPagey The intro is extremely post-rock. For bands like that, I'd check This Will Destroy You, Explosions In The Sky, Pitchblend, If These Trees Could Talk. Post-rock is fucking sweet. And of course, so is AOF.

[SlayerPagey]

@AaronTieLee Thanks for the reply i'll check 'em out :)

[Dewxgong]

@SlayerPagey while you're at it, Pelican, Russian Circles, and Don Caballero

[NumbersAndMumbles]

@AaronTieLee All awesome bands. Do you listen to much screamo? You should check out Mesa Verde and Archives. Theyre heavily influenced by post-rock. Some of my favorite stuff

[nvmdude]

@SlayerPagey Try ballad in blue by helicon blue

[TheReman5000]

@nvmdude helicon blue is dallas green's old band

[Iliveinabox666]

Sigh, the only album from them that I truly loved..

[VFAndyyyVF]

@Iliveinabox666 Agree to some extent. AOF were always a bit hit and miss with me.

[MegaVietNam]

why is Kesha drunk whore is in the suggestion??! wrong in so many level

[brunni77]

awesome

[xThijzx]

WTF IS KESHA DOING IN MY SUGGESTION LIST?

[foreveremoatheart]

@xThijzx it's kesha...she gets everywhere cuz shes a wee hobo..annoying i know :L

[xThijzx]

@foreveremoatheart I agree. We Are The Ocean, Alexisonfire themselves, Enter Shikari in suggestion list. That's good, great even. But KESHA? :O

[milesmungo]

The beginning of the song gives me instant chills. Listening to this song makes me forget everything I don't like about life. I can't adequately describe what this song says & means to me. That in my opinion, is the true power of music: to say what words can't.

[maritrunks]

I like this music in this song, but what is the meaning of this song.....I mean it sounds great...but what is it about?

[Vasperification]

This was this was the song that encouraged me to get Their band name tatted in my left arm. I freagin love AOF

[screams4days]

they wrote this in highschooll to good

[screams4days]

they wrote this in highschooll to fucking good

[BlueLightSpecial90]

Easily one of the best bands of the last decade.

[DeSTruCT0MaCHiNe]

ALL HAIL TORONTO MUSIC SCENE!!

[Soooshhi]

The intro just.. gives me the shivers. But you know, the good type of shivers! I don't agree with @JonnyJustSpunkiied about the vocals though.. the vocals on Crisis were much better in my opinion. But eh, whatever floats ya boat. Alexisonfire is still freaking amazing, man!

[seahawkluv]

alexisonfire...still screaming like a bloodthirsty cougar.

[rissx]

i forgot how amazing old alexis is..... my brain is full of negative association from "young cardinals".... this song takes me back to some good times 5-6 years ago....

[penguinfromtheholy]

@rissx its a pity that you cannot find the true beauty in their newer stuff, and only their older stuff... truly a shame... but hey, at least you like this stuff ( ;

[HannahDahPanda]

I love alexisonfire . (:

[hondataitr]

if you are not Canadian stop commenting.

[GloomySunset]

@hondataitr shut up.

[XxViolentByDesignxX]

@hondataitr You're a moron...

[hondataitr]

@XxViolentByDesignxX ...thanks! im still Canadian and you're not!

[erick1691]

@hondataitr

Too bad nobody gives a fuck or even knows that Alexisonfire is candianian lol.

[MarcL9]

@erick1691 You kidding? Everyone knows they are canadian! They are known as one of canada's biggest bands

[XxViolentByDesignxX]

@hondataitr HA! Too bad I hae duel citizenship of Canada and the U.S.A....Because I am Canadian born. So, stick that in you juice box, and suck it. Tard.

[kbs1212]

The intro is incredible.

[Jkid1400]

Respond to this video... ther needs 2 b a balance of singing (for meaning)

& screaming (for fun)

If not, you get Stereos...(or noise)

[Jimpaco]

@Jkid1400 screaming has emotion and meaning...

[livvi67]

thekillingspree loves this song

[agentbuckwalt]

the Illuminati will not like this

[em1ly420]

@agentbuckwalt why not?

[ThatPerson101]

Alexisonfire are the masters of the Intro and the Outro... and everything inbetween

[shredinhalf]

does anybody know wat the first two albums r called?

[lolh4x]

@shredinhalf Alexisonfire(self titled) and Watch Out! is their second. 

[StarFaukes]

6 People were trying to figure out if its Alex is on fire or Alexis on fire XD noobs

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

Naysayers? Per Old Crows? AOF is actually maturing.I hope the screaming is finally getting flushed out.

[iaminnocent9]

@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA wtf? screaming getting flushed out!? so basically you want to just be boring and be like all other bands? don't think so... alexisonfire is great the way they are...

[MrOhiojones]

the into is sooo chill... brilliant musicians.

[foxtrot089]

all those dislikes, are Justin Beiber fans

[usukapal]

almost 100,000 views how awesome deserves more than that though

[YanxiDream]

[fuckgoodaccountnames]

[CowBjells]

Greetings from Norway:D

[CallySaysRelax]

Fantastic. Still gets me.

[em1ly420]

[dalkov93]

This is such an amazing song and album... Too bad it all went downhill from here.

[xXpdx]

@dalkov93 not so tremendously until the last 2, but the newest one, which will not be named is just not what these artists were about back in this time.

[DuskFiend]

@dalkov93

watch out was great with a few bad tracks imo, but yes you are absolutely right.

[VahlienceYTC]

kick ass song but

what the fuck is up w. Kesha's tick tok as a related video -.-

[zombieninja28]

Catchier than herpes

[Deathtwo5]

[hales22b]

[JonnyJustSpunkiied]

The intro *Thumb Up*

Vocals *Two thumbs up*

The whole song *Two thumbs up and a massive erection*

[LifeandDeath92]

@JonnyJustSpunkiied lmfao thanks for the laugh!

AND I AGREE!!

[monkeychief0]

@JonnyJustSpunkiied I just lol'd

[homiz]

@JonnyJustSpunkiied Your comment *one thumbs up because sadly I can't put hundred of thumbs up*

[Wickedchick169]

@JonnyJustSpunkiied when the intro comes back in to the end of the song *2 boners up*

[shizmcgiz]

Its ceases to amaze me how much power one part of one song can have on you. One part in this song makes me relive soo many moments in my precious life.

[ZeRoO4478]

reminds me christie front drive the intro :)

[CielBlack]

very sweet

[Dudeman2k]

best name ever i laughed so hard lol good song too

[descendents4life]

please comment fast ... and if you dont know tell me what this song means to you

[Semibrucelee]

@descendents4life

imo it always was about exotic or marginal stuff. How technology sometimes desensitize you from what's truly pretty, beautiful being all natural.

Could also be talking of the creative process of artists. The thoughts, the ideas, brainstorms, etc.

[descendents4life]

@Semibrucelee thank you if i ever meet gorge im gunna ask him how he wrote such deap and meaningful lyrics on this cd being so young at the time ... but i guess age rlly has nothing to do with it .... i love his lyrics so much !!

[BlueRoomAcoustics]

@descendents4life Dallas writes ALOT of the lyrics as well.

[descendents4life]

@BlueRoomAcoustics ya but u can sorta tell the lyriqs they rote ... like dalles usally rights more about more stuff around him and uses metephores that way but gorge uses metiphors and stuff refuring to history or politics ... but eaither way i love dallas evn if its alexis or C&C but i think the other guys should get more credit than they do dont you think so ? thr all amazing

[descendents4life]

... am i evn close to being right ??? ... can some one tell me the real meaning ... like the boxes of cats people with taz tattoos ... protracters from jr geometry sets inability to do math or geography

[descendents4life]

okay this is one of my fave songs my alexis ... and i know im gunna sound like a complete idiot kid who duznt know anything about the meaning of songs but i dont get the lyriqs i mean what they mean to me is him talking about being strange and feeling lost and looking for reason and some place to call his own but he cant everything gone and hes lost

[natashabaziliko]

best song by alexisonfire by far

[echelon4400]

imean yeah they scream but its good how can u hate it if u r going to hate dont listen

[echelon4400]

too ambient for screamo this band is killing it though

[kornslipknotzach]

w-e this is good music very good guitar riffs senn them live in north bay ON

[Flifti]

wtf.... nice sound! :)

[ginrummy20]

this sounds very early 2000s

[TheOsirisskater69]

all of there stuff is shit these days

[ginrummy20]

so true, doesnt even compare to this stuff man

[dbyrness]

They def changed to accomidate (spelt that wrong) mainstream.

[VitaAmnis]

I miss old Alexisonfire.

[ginrummy20]

why do u miss it you can listen to it anytime u want

[clooked]

song is butt

[TheatreFracture]

Such a Good song :)

[HaroldFeldberg]

Why does tha happen at the end? srsly is there more? or is that how it is on the CD too

[MrAdventuRuss]

OK!!! Now everyone get a lightbulb ; )

[jivemike]

Rule 1 & 2.

[xXxCharlesPScenexXx]

fuck i just lost the game

[xOodlesOfNoodles]

amazing intro. <3

[jhnbhnm]

intro is amazing but I think it kinda looses it in the verses

[flipmaster09]

all you 4chan fucks just lost the game

[Da11ebayo]

@flipmaster09

shit ass titties fuck

thumbs down for you

[Sythaz]

This is surprisingly good, I liked the intro, very post-rocky, the whole song has a post-rock feeling as well as a strong screamo feeling, nearly reminds me of suis la lune =| Which is weird because this is alexisonfire.

[johanthepirate]

@Sythaz I actually agree with that, it kindof reminds me of a lighter City of Caterpillar.

[ZeRoO4478]

woah xD yeah sounds like old screamo...

[JulyArises]

so post-hardcore with a touch of screamo :D

[ozztenn]

@JulyArises i would say more melo hardcore

[JulyArises]

@ozztenn Their new stuff is melodic hardcore, yes

[juiceyjimmy]

holy balls! orgasm

[omfgemossuck]

HELL YES!

[jackieeethepwner]

wicked song

[descendents4life]

... amazing

[descendents4life]

Raped by my childhood?

What the hell do I know about rape anyway?

Well, I guess it's fun to pretend.

Sorry.

Just a thought that occurred when I wasn't quite awake enough

To dismiss it.

[Omar5674]

OMG LOL

You sir are and idiot?

Too funny, AOF FANS FTW

[run41]

you sir are and idiot.

[themonctonstrangler]

after this comment, i am officially gonna say this just like that "YOU sir are AND idiot"

[run41]

You are doing it wrong.

This makes you sir, and idiot.

[themonctonstrangler]

haha

[GodOfTheInternets]

@themonctonstrangler

go back to your perfetic 4chan. You are both a bunch of faggots arguing over the fucking internet. Bunch of underage b& emo faggots.

[80XY]

i dare someone to call rules 1 and 2..

[wilpwnsyou]

Rules one and two only apply to a raid, newfag. Gtfo on my youtube.

Did the youtube died?

[80XY]

Actually that's why i dared someone to call rules one and two, thus showing which upon us are fags that are new. but your gunna be mr.ivebeenhereallsummer and jump the gun as well as mindlessly spouting meme's.. silly cancer

[wilpwnsyou]

I left /b/ after Habbo. I didn't see a point in it anymore.

[80XY]

I dabble, its just.. kinda boring now, the whole internet is, i come on, youtube, emails then i go outside. i havent done that in years!

[Draconis97]

You do not talk about fight club.

[joshstockinger]

hey guys, go eazy onhim. hes probably not and bad of a guy. lol

[apineda91]

you sir are and idiot

real smooth buddy XD

[2195booger]

[peezindashower]
