[XtReMeSk8Er15]

The Blackout are a bunch of fukin faggots and i would knock them out if i ever seen them in the street. Why ruin 2 classic songs by Korn and Limp bizkit ?!? Fred Durst and Jon Davis should have beat the shit out of these fags when they got back stage, fukin hate them !

[XVonGrimmX]

@LawlRawrSara You don't love the band

Grow the fuck up.

[lambvofvgod]

@XVonGrimmX xD nice one :']

[lottie180992]

Gavin is beautiful.

Stop Hating the blackout you Minges! Get a life... =)

[sallynevermore483]

The Blackout is amazing :)

Besides you do realize the band reads the comments right? Sean said so on his twitter. I doubt they are hurt by the pathetic comments hating on them, more than likely they are laughing at them. Besides haters make them famous. Cliche but true.

[MadinaDaniella]

dude, this band is AMAZING ! can't wait to see them on the Kerrang! Tour !! Sean's a bird !! <3

[LittleMissPirate]

To the people giving bad comments-

whats the point in watching the video, if you dont even like the band??? your just wasting your time.....

[xsecretgoldfish]

[CHUCKSTERV]

Whats the korn song? Really annoyed at how I dont know what It is!

[WORKINGFUK]

blind by korn

[kela7x]

@CHUCKSTERV No a Limp Bizkit :)

[Stephthesickestkid]

urmm if you had`nt noticed. this video is of the blackout. so why are you all having getting pissy about green day?

the blackout do play their own stuff at shows, and they do it very well :) they didnt even cover a full song by another artist, the whole time they were on the main stage :S so i dont understand how you can say they have "fucked it up"

seriously (Y) call it emo all you want, its not going to change the music is it?!i<3theblackout,xxx

[XShotgunXRomanceX]

Anyone who doesn't listen to anything with a guitar in it calls any kind of rock or metal emo, it doesn't matter how much you slag off certain bands. If you listen to rock or metal, it's pretty likely that you've been called an emo at some point.

[lappy744]

Agreed, but those people can suck my dong!

[McTashbob]

rip off of slipknot when they did get the fuck up. i deliberately stood up.

[sweetiepenguinman]

lol they do admit that they rip off slipknot

[CheesyN1blet5]

why do shit bands have to fuck up good bands songs like this its a fucking tradegy!

[alexypietheguitarguy]

excuse me...the blackout are fucking awesome, besides they didnt do them fully so you cant say they "fucked"them up.

[CheesyN1blet5]

and if your under 20 good sir this proves my point :-)

[TrevorOfCrete]

Agreed, Blackout should play there own stuff and let the better bands do there sets later on.

[Green00Day]

the blackout are a great band, so shut up

[CheesyN1blet5]

Looking at your name this proves my point even further,i dont like the fact they just stand there doing fuck all and get money for it, 4 chords on a guitar yeah theyre great...

[Green00Day]

they have the ability to write good songs, and put on a good show (both bands). who said that a song had to be massively complicated in order to be good? bands are not only made from guitars as well, and both these bands have probably got further in life than u have

[CheesyN1blet5]

id rather not be famous at all and be in the army than being an up your own arse prick and be famous for it,this band are obviously another Emo trend band like MCR or billy talent.

[Green00Day]

well, if you knew what u wer talkin about, you wuld know that green day anre not "up your own arse pricks". i dont think a stuck ass prick would help rebuild homes for people who didnt know him after hurricane katrina, which is what billie joe did. and mcr have said that they are not an emo band, they just have some emo fans, and they have no problem with that, so get your facts right before you start wailing shit on these videos

[ZirconLupa]

@CheesyN1blet5 Nah, I'm pretty certain it's a good band making good songs even better :)

[CheesyN1blet5]

Where you actually there?,maybe it was the sound system but in my opinion,a shit band shouldnt even try to be equal to far superior bands.

[ZirconLupa]

Nah, I'm yet to go to the UK to see a show. I wish I was there though! There are clearly some "flaws" to the recording, I bet it sounded better for the audience than it does to us, and heck, I'm able to get something good outta this.

Why do you say they are shit though? Have you even heard any of their original stuff? I don't think any band are superior. They all have flaws, whether it be band members abusing drugs or alcohol, or a "bad era" with in the listeners opinion 'crappy songs'.

[CheesyN1blet5]

i just find it disrespectfull to just take someone else work and do it in a 3 minute random mix of lots of songs :/ it just sounds really horrible. :/

[ZirconLupa]

(Dang you're fast!)

Do you think the bands they covered find it disrespectful though? I think The Blackout did this to honor the bands that inspired them, not to show disrespect. (Have you heard their cover of My Generation? I think it kicks ass, really!)

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying you're not allowed to think it sounds horrible, I'm just curious really.

[CheesyN1blet5]

well apparently fred durst (limp bizkit) is a dick so he probably does , and i think slipknot might becuase of how hard they had to work to get where they are,i guess i just dont like this recycled sound like Lost prophets,Blackout,bullet.F.M.V ect.

[ZirconLupa]

Limp Bizkit and Slipknot... hmm. You really think Lostprophets and The Blackout recycled their stuff? I'm having issues seeing the similarity, point me to some songs please o_O (I can't say I appreciate B.F.M.V that much, but I'm known to listen to them too.)

I agree, Fred Durst probably would, but even so... The Blackout (and Lostprophets for that matter) didn't use these covers to get were they are. They worked hard too. (You should listen to The Folds "Every Band In The USA" It's hilarious)

[CheesyN1blet5]

No i dont mean that Lost.p and Blackout used these to get famous,i mean im sick of bands coming out that all sound the same,its boring and tedious.

[ZirconLupa]

Ah, but see, bands with an unique sound comes farther inbetween. It's hard to invent something completely original, that doesn't sound like anything that has been done before. Hell, I listen to My Chemical Romance and hear tunes that can be found in classical masterpieces.

[cornettoman6]

@CheesyN1blet5 so basiclly you just dont like welsh bands? :L

[CheesyN1blet5]

@cornettoman6 No i actualy quite like BFMV,lost prophets are ok on occasion too i suppose,its just this band are one of the many pumped out by the industry to look good rather than sound it,its the same with TBS :/

[cornettoman6]

@CheesyN1blet5

i love all of the welsh bands, i do agree with you but i like thier music anyway, i like anything that ends up on scuzz/kerrang w/e

from MCR to Children of Bodom

[KraZerrrBTD]

@CheesyN1blet5 When you saw it live, it was really good. They only did it to get the crowd psyched for the head liners and being the second band on at download 09 they did a good job i think

[666PeaceSells666]

No good bands i can think of come out of wales, Lost Prophets, Bullet for my Valentine, and this band.

[dedmetal666789]

feeder, stereophonics and the guitarist of motorhead is welsh

[BANGAndTheDurtIsGone]

I Know Its A Cover But Thay Could Never Make Limp Bizkit Any Better Thay Are SH*T For Playing This Song + Thay Sound SH*T

[SOUTHTEXASDEATHRIDE1]

not bad id never heard of them until i saw that video diary on scuzz.. not a bad medley but i dont think il look them up in the future.

[he123he]

You can just see the back of my head!:P

I'm right at the front!

[BANGAndTheDurtIsGone]

Thay Just Messed Up A Good Song This Just Makes Me Hate This Band More Then I Did Sorry

[ZirconLupa]

@BANGAndTheDurtIsGone And you'll get the message stronger across by starting each word with a capital letter and having spelling mistakes. Good for you.

How can you hate a band by a cover (or covers) they made? The covers don't represent the band, not fully anyway.

[alexdes122]

they stole slipknot's 'jump the fuck up' bastards

[McTashbob]

i know! that pissed me right the fuck off!!!

[SOUTHTEXASDEATHRIDE1]

replying to alexdes122, its not as bad as papa roach poorly attempting to screw over machinehead with their papa 'fucking' roach t-shirts. fucking idiots.

[starzscream614]

wow this acctually sounds betther than the original

[IILuigiII]

it sounds better if your a faggot!

[starzscream614]

haha you funny twat aint ya

[IILuigiII]

just cause i merked you ... bellend.

[BRJArcade]

aha the cameraman is singing along to 'epic'!

[TommyTthebassist]

They remeind me of a tide the way they go back and forth

[jadenobes]

they were fucking amazing i loved it and i will defentley see them again :D:D

heartless comments below get i life dont ya have better things to do then slag off bands

xxx

[systemofadownfan1990]

I was there they were sik

[fucknugget1991]

I was gutted to not be there. They are amazing live, seen them twice :) People that call them emo fags cause of Seans hair need a reality check cause I have met them twice and I've actually spent like loads of time with them and they are amazing guys. I'm not just saying this cause they're my favourite band. It's their opinion if people wanna slag them off,they're probably just jelous of The Blackouts success!

[punchdrunkrock]

what success? Sub standard coverage from kerrwang, man i wish i was successful. But in all fairness i caught them at download after leaving that shambolic in this moment performance, and actually thought they were pretty decent.

[Doused09]

They totally changed my very stereotypical view of them with their set. I just thought they were another little snotty screamo band that cared more about their hair etc. I was wrong. They played a great, high energy set and did the job of an opening/support band brilliantly. They warmed up the crowd, got everyone interested and had a blast. I'll never forget the "I'll repeat the question, slightly louder and add a swear word" bit... I about pissed myself. Great job.

[spuds141]

Hey Sean is the only one with that haircut that might say ''i care more about my hair than my music'', so it's like, even though you've changed your opinion of them now, which I give credit to you for, for everyone else and for what you used to think - Sean is just one person in this band, just because he has a bit of a up himself haircut doesn't mean the whole band should be categorized into the whole shitty band cool haircut thing, because that's just stupid if it's only one person anyway.

[Glennisalezbian]

I dont think theres anything wrong with having a good haircut, i know you're not against Sean properly but i dislike everyones clone haircuts, everyone looks better with styled hair y'know?

[spuds141]

Yeah like don't get me wrong, I love Sean's hair, I think it's awesome and he's cool, but I'm just pointing out that just 'cause one guy in the band has a haircut like that, most people just go and say ''oh they're just emo fags'' because they see one of the guys haircuts, even though the rest of the guys have pretty normal haircuts..they basically just categorize the entire band then, which is what is just totally stupid and annoying.

[Glennisalezbian]

Oh i seee. Sorry thats my bad but you;re right, the blackout are quite stereotyped from that. They are fucking sickk live though so massive respect to them haha.

[Doused09]

Exactly.... And I feel shame for thinking as such.

A lesson learned

[septron]

i watched it all the way through and it isnt me but i am right there by the camerafilming this and imagine you were due to come on the main stage and some emo prick starts playing your song fuck that shit he was walking around the arena on sunday and no one even realised it was him!!!

[welshqmu]

well, you seem to be bobbing you head in your little cap anyway, so they did something right. Lesson of the day, don't click on a video of a band that you really didnt like.

Great idea with the medley, got everyone going.

[septron]

i think they are fucking emo pricks and what they did with the limp, korn and faith t=intros was indispicable by the way thats me infront of you with the camop cap haha whats the chances of that??

[Doused09]

I think you're the prick...... They played the support act role perfectly. Giving the crowd a cocktease medley of the headline acts was a stroke of fucking genius and I'm sure made them a lot of fans. I'm one of the people whose opinions changed of them in a big way. Only the really narrow minded "death to all but metal (unless its someone really popular like Limp Bizkit and Korn)" people could pick fault with what they did.

[septron]

oh getting personal are we, maybe if they spent more time singing in tune instead of swing their mics all over the place they would be decent but at the end of the day they are old news music went out the windo years ago they should be at sonisphere not download!!

[Benjaminje]

maybe if you spent less time being a cunt...

you'd have friends and wouldn't spend your time slagging off bands you don't like.

dick!

[punchdrunkrock]

Lol special award to you sir.

[AnnesADoofus]

I Saw These Guys In The Rebull Tent Too When Slipknot Were Playing...

I Went Fucking Mental

I Love These Guys So Much

AMAZING Showmen

[natalie247]

Did you catch them in the redbull tent sat night? I know slipknot was on the main stage. It was amazing they played so many of their songs and the crowd (what there was of it) was loving it, felt like a personal gig.

[OmgItsMeDean]

i think i was next to you, this was like the angle i had when i was watching them

[CutxUpxAngel]

i was infront of you at the barrier. probably abit to the right of you though. good show =]

[MCBlaZiKeN]

i loved when they did this =D

was fucking awsome

[jaamoe]

[lukeBAM]

[FrankIerosWifex]

[banetwo]

[Mikepatton89]
