[GoShift1]

this crowd sucks.

[Raiderfan123]

They need to talk to Within The Ruins

[yugster11]

I personally would travel just to hear him speak... This videos LAME! hes so much better at what he does now... id go to a for today show for that little bit of speaking even if they sucked... but they dont so thats a plus :D.. oh ya im wearing a shirt i got from all stars tour.. just so happens to say For Today...

[ConflictionHD]

Such an amazing band. I would love to have been at that show.

[Sploogface]

I think they need to go and talk with The Acacia Strain.

[Pabbles123]

@Sploogface hahahah that would me the biggest fucking mess ever. JFC MOTHA FUCKAS!!!

[Raiderfan123]

@Pabbles123 "You're a christian, she's a beauty queen, I hope you die together, your lives are jokes to me" - The Hills Have Eyes!!!!!!!!!

[wjWJ8]

@Sploogface Except these guys actually show intelligence... Vincent has no idea what hes talking about most of the time lol

[PopesickleThePriest]

I have that shirt :D

[EstacadoConstantine]

man hey was talking longer than he was when i saw him lol its fucking awesome to see a band that has a real message in though

[JGill93]

way too much talking, become a fucking reverend.

[Colossianss]

Mic going out = Satan at work.

[NewCreation23DR]

Praise God for these guys.

[ipodjackerxpert456]

was the mic messing up? or was it his voice?

[Runawaysolomon]

@ipodjackerxpert456 it was his mic he grabs the guitarists mic after it goes out

[knugn1337]

this is tooooo much

[jimsnoskate12]

everybody hating on the preaching can eat a dick, for today promotes a positive message and if u cant handle that you're not fit to be around people cuz youre probably assholes.

[Noneed4aname83]

i believe in a higher being but i also believe in the show ancient aliens.!! but love For Today's music and message! SATAN CAN SUCK IT!

[hellorara2]

@jasonstubeaccount I'm sure

[hellorara2]

Oh and btw..this is a metal concert not fucking church..leave religion out of metal. Moshing is of pure hatred, there is no God in the pit.

[22jermz]

@hellorara2 You can't physically prove evolution, or where the first organism of the earth came from either buddy EVERYTHING draws back to faith.

And as jasonstubeaccount said, Jesus loves you.

[hellorara2]

@22jermz Well I believe in what I can prove..and that's this Earth and the people who inhabit it. You can keep your faith my friend.

[hellorara2]

Why believe something you can't PHYSICALLY prove?

[elsaucel]

@hellorara2 Then whats the point of life? Like without believing in something, there is nothing to look forward to in life. If you always live for yourself then you will never find true happiness. I don't want to force religion on anybody but I just want to let you know that having a relationship with God is the most amazing thing. I use to drink, smoke weed, and have sex, but I wasn't truly happy. If you start trusting and believing and have a good relationship with Him, you will be truly happy

[hellorara2]

@elsaucel I'm pretty sure I'm perfectly happy and content with my life without god. If I'm going to believe in something I'm going to believe in myself..because god has never helped me or anybody else. Babies die everyday, innocent people die horrible deaths Everyday. If there is a god he would stop the suffering. Until then I will believe in myself, my family, and the world around me cuz that's what I see.

[elsaucel]

@hellorara2 All that stuff happens for a reason. He is testing our faith, He is seeing how we will respond to something like that. We can either realize that He did it for a reason and accept it and go through the suffering to get to something great. He has probably never helped you because you have never trusted in Him. I promise that if you started trusting in God and live by His Word, then your life will be completely changed and you will love your decision.

[hellorara2]

@elsaucel Hmm we'll see.

[elsaucel]

@hellorara2 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart" Psalm 37:4. I'll be praying for you

[hellorara2]

@elsaucel I don't need your prayers lol My life is perfectly fine the way it is. I don't do drugs or drink. My family is great and I'm going to start college in the fall. All the was done without god.

[thehybridxero]

@hellorara2 Can't prove that. :)

[hellorara2]

@thehybridxero Can't prove what?



[thehybridxero]

@hellorara2 That all of it was done without god.

[hellorara2]

@thehybridxero Okay well you can't prove that it WAS done by god so stfu.

[thehybridxero]

@hellorara2 Didin't say it was. Just saying you can't prove it wasn't. Which is infact a true statement, no matter what you believe. :)

[hellorara2]

@thehybridxero Well either way it can't be proven or disproved so this conversation is pointless. Both sides are neither wrong or right. I say just let ppl do whatever the hell they want. Worry about your own lives. Stop trying to preach nonsense to those who don't care.

[cross10ksu]

fuck for today. they talk more than they play... so fucking boring

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@cross10ksu you obviously have never been to one of their shows. i've seen them numerous times, and it's about a 4:1 music to speaking ratio. so get your facts straight, and educate yourself.

[cross10ksu]

@iusedtohaveabeard nope. been to 2 of them. fucking boring, and gay as shit.

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@cross10ksu ok then why did you go the second time if you hated it so much the first time, and why'd you hunt down a video of it, just to post your hatred towards it.

[deathjon10000]

@iusedtohaveabeard Who ever this guy is, is a fucking uneducated loser

[howzitbin6]

@cross10ksu

maybe if you spent time listening to what they had to say...

you'd realize that its more than "just talking."

[adtrdrummer1]

@cross10ksu fuk u there awesome. breakdowns every single songs x)

[alexlowcaprice]

@cross10ksu then why being an asshole and show disrespect on one of them videos you nut sack

[22jermz]

@cross10ksu It's not just talking.

[Aceofspanes]

really why would u troll. GO love on your Justin Bieber page some more

[doseofdoubt]

@cross10ksu Dont' like it, then don't watch it. For Today is more than a band. They spread the message of God and Christianity. I saw them a couple months ago, Mattie would talk while the rest of the members tuned, or got water, etc. Then they would play. I agree with iusedtohaveabeard. The ratio was about 4:1. Don't talk trash before you know what you're even talking about it the first place.

[GuitarplayinDrummer1]

@cross10ksu You're a stupid worthless faggot. I hope you die.

[ipodjackerxpert456]

@cross10ksu dude you obviously have never been to any of their shows and obviously your some atheist fuck who thinks hes talking, when really hes preaching. so get the fuck out of here why do you think they're a christian band troll

[KodaBear01]

the mics hella went out for hella long

[FJREP2DEF]

these guys and Oh, Sleeper are the best bands!

[123Nickkiii]

I DON'T SEE WHAT ALL OF THIS DEBATING IS ABOUT! God is God. There is no other like him and he loves all of you whether you are a Christian or not! So stop the fighting, please? If you want to bash Christianity, go somewhere else. We didn't ask for your fight.

[hamsterEXSTERMANATOR]

crowd sucked

[Farrellfortoday]

There is nothing I could say.....that would match how grateful I am there is For Today out there preaching the word of God with such authority and willingness. Truly God Blessed. Amazing..and I was so annoyed I won't be able to see them in London next week!

[b03tz]

This is amazing...this guy is an instrument in God's hand...the way he speaks gives me the chills. Our God is great...and this man is great through God...

GREAT.

[BloodMetalandToxic]

that takes courage

PROPS!!

[jline43]

Great video, great band, great message. I just wish those kids new how to get a halfway decent pit going...

[rawiswar1995]

I wish August Burns Red preached like this.

[phoenix8990]

@rawiswar1995 Amen! They'd be so good at it! I don't think I've ever seen a video of them speaking to the crowd?

[janeym]

You know what, I bet these guys have helped a lot of kids who thought they were saved actually repent and surrender their lives to Christ. There is no other way.

[xTylerRulezD00dx]

Mattie is such a powerful speaker. Every time I hear him speak about Christianity it gives me chills. He's just incredible.

[CoreyG852]

There are bands that claim to be Christians, and use Christian lyrics but are just doing it for no reason. Just because its easy to give yourself something to write songs about. And then, there are bands like Underoath, For Today, and Haste The Day whose sole purpose for playing music is to help people find God. I've seen all of those bands live and when the play or preach, i really feel God's presence in the room. Mattie is an excellent speaker, haha if he started a church, i would go.

[paskin36]

the merch is F!GHT CLOTHING on bigcartel, check them x

[drcutya96]

Its like impossible to find that shirt.

[yayyay92]

@drcutya96 i had to make it myself at this one shop...the font type is greek somthing

[drcutya96]

@yayyay92

Fight clothing.

I found them at scream the prayer.

[paskin36]

where can i get that fearless top? what band merch is it?

[Cshowbread]

@paskin36 God fearing youth is the merch

[paskin36]

@Cshowbread i can't find the fearless shirt :(

[Masieniec]

this shit is fuck gay. my friend was like "listen to this shit dude" at school. i was banging, thinkin fuck yeah! heavy shit dood!! then i looked up the lyrics..... and found this.. how fucking gay. they need to go blow their fuckin heads off, fuckin sad. get the fuck out of the music industry, go play at a church, and remove all of this garbage off youtube. they need their own genre, like "pussy metal" cuz this shit needs to get the fuck out of the heavy catagory.

[NickIsAPlagueOfGod]

@Masieniec no judge your "satanist" and or your "non-pussy metal" music why judge us man its seriously ridiculous how you like there music at first then you read lyrics and hate them for there massage grow up man your pathetic

[WordUpBrandon]

@Masieniec okay first anything can be heavy/hardcore/metal/noone wants to here your crap dude get a life and if you dont like it then why even be on this channel obviously you have a friend next to you and your trying to be cool bro grow up =D god bless you

[connormcfall]

@Masieniec Jesus loves you.

[MidniteLovr35]

@Masieniec you remind me of a friend i knew like you who was a wake and bake kind of guy who hated the message he now is a christ loving man god bless you may he lead you to happiness

[blaze82haze30]

Jesus would definitely headbang to for today...and impending doom

[WESTSIDEGENIUS]

lol so true!

[NickIsAPlagueOfGod]

@blaze82haze30 agreed man theres many more hed do it to to man

[drcutya96]

Seriously? Why are people arguing? They are the BIGGEST Christian band I've EVER heard. I thought underoath was a big christian band, but Jesus Christ. Their album? EVERY SONG, is about God. This is a Christian Festival, you should expect alot of talking about God. I love for today. Mainly, because they are a christian band. They're amazing. :)

[blaze82haze30]

i agree 100%

[drcutya96]

Thanks man.

Means alot.

Normally, I just get some rude ass comment,

when I speak the truth.

[FallenRWTF7]

@drcutya96 true man. but For Today does that at every concert, thats what i LOVE about them :) haha.

[xdannyvaleriox]

i bet jesus would dance so fucking hard for For Today. xD

[Zerosk8rman0]

"there is no hope without jesus christ" or "happiness is gained only through christ" these are the kind of messages that breeds ignorance.

[cruffrider5]

i expect a concert, with a short message. when i see an atheist band, they dont spend the whole set talking down god, or vise versa

[WESTSIDEGENIUS]

Well these bands take their beliefs seriously soo if you don't like it all i can say is don't go

[BreakDown614]

Could you imagine how motavating that preach was... And then stepping into the pit.. TO BAD THERE WASN'T ONE... ='(

[cruffrider5]

when i saw them live there was about 15 minutes of music and 10 minutes of preaching. i dont know seemed kinda lame for the money i paid to get in.

[WESTSIDEGENIUS]

well their a Christian band, what would you expect?

[Claggy]

2nd half of the video was good!

[itummy18]

This is their life. This is a great life. These guys are a blessing. They are real. And those wondering if they are fronting...if you have stepped into a church you know that you can't tell if everyone is being real. That is why there is faith. You have faith that you will walk on your 2 feet every day. It just takes a little bit.

[StratmanSixtyNine]

I blame Underoath for the whole preaching bit. Not that it's a bad thing... If it wasn't for UO then no Christian bands would preach before every song or opening.

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@StratmanSixtyNine completely untrue.

[HerosOfProtest]

@StratmanSixtyNine hahahahaha this is a joke right? maybe you should delete this comment and research that a bit.

[iusedtohaveabeard]

agreed. nice user name by the way

[TheTylerMEmond]

are you kidding me? Underoath doesnt Preach before songs, Spencer says We stand Up here in the name of Christ. Not that thats a bad thing at all. but its not preaching . Its stating what they stand for, This is not Preaching, This is Sharing the Love of the Almight JESUS CHRIST

[TheTylerMEmond]

Let me restate that, This is Preaching, but its more than Preaching!

[Terror003]

and they say if u want know to more about it come talk to us. they will also say Jesus saved their lives. and its kinda cool with how big underoath is tht they were able to say tht stuff at the mayhem festival (slipknot disturbed etc..) but yes for today says alot more...doesnt make them better though

[xdeathbeyondx]

actually it started waaaay before underoath haha xD

[SamLikesWolf]

hhahahahh no way man, underoath hardly "preaches", they might say we all beleive in jesus, but thts it.

[youfailme11]

@StratmanSixtyNine strongarm, figure four, focal point, no innocent victim and overcome all preached in between songs before UO, blame them.

[mig89sol]

@StratmanSixtyNine

hey man! what are u saying! you don't know

how many hearts are touched by that!!

[XDEVINxEDGEX]

@StratmanSixtyNine im in a christian band, and believe me, our preaching is influenced only by the word of God, and the effect Jesus Christ has in our lives, not Under Oath

[mattpowers84]

@StratmanSixtyNine Wrong IF IT WASN'T FOR GOD YHEN NO CHRISTIAN BAND WOULD PREACH BEFOR EVERY SONG OR OPENING

[HELLawaitsall59]

@StratmanSixtyNine

You don"t know your music then.

[majoris23]

and also, it seems the SAME exact thing is said in between every song by every christian band out there.. "we're not here to change your beliefs, we're just gonna talk about jesus for awhile and thank him for teaching me how to play a guitar."

[iusedtohaveabeard]

your point being?

[AndrewConfides]

@iusedtohaveabeard its a gimmick under all the bullshit

[NickIsAPlagueOfGod]

@majoris23 seriously whats your point man?

[HardcoreKid31]

@majoris23 shut up man just cause you dont believe doesnt mean that people who do like me need to be dissed by your negativity.

[mikexshugzx]

@majoris23

[SamWerrell]

@majoris23 Because as christians we cant force anyone into believing anything. And god gets all the glory for the talents that we have.

[shakshakboom]

A few lines of the song are from Revelations, I believe.

[shakshakboom]

Never mind, there is a reference though. Revelations 21:4

[majoris23]

ffs how many goddamn preaching christian bands are out there? I know its a christian music festival but its like every band out there puts on a religious act. what happened to regular, non-religious music?

[iusedtohaveabeard]

this isn't an act for these bands, this is their life.

if you can't respect that then go somewhere else and listen to other music. noone forced you here, so if you can't respect it, leave. (and don't be a dick)

[majoris23]

I meant no disrespect, many of my favorite bands are "preachy", I'm just pointing out a discrepancy within the genre. An overwhelming number of new bands are "christian" (vastly disproportionate to non-religious bands) and you can't help but wonder for many of them if their beliefs are preached for the image, rather than message.

[scarydrummr93]

this is why i LOVE For Today. they're such strong Christians and they show that, and then they turn around and prove that thru brutal metal. it's amazing

[ltc0139]

bobscore35, your an idiot

[iusedtohaveabeard]

agreed, ignorant kid

[bobscore35]

@ltc0139 i didnt know it was a christian festival, chill.

[bobscore35]

hahaha, if i wanna hear preaching ill go to church, man

[iusedtohaveabeard]

@bobscore35 or to a christian music festival.

[bobscore35]

that too.

[uhhhhjoeh]

shut up dude

[sexyhairbob]

dude...its satan....he was cast out of heaven. he turned his back on God. his salvation is not going to happen. there would be no hell without him.

meaning if there wasnt satan then jesus would have not had to die.

[XCallXMeXmatt]

The one thing that I don't agree with what Matty said, is that Satan is to blame for all of this. Satan may have been the one that said "I will not serve" but with the message of love that God is saying...well why in 21 centuries of existence has no one prayed for the one sinner that needs it most? Pray for his salvation and for him to understand. He needs it just as much as anyone else who sinned.

[JakeWearsPrada]

I always think of those lyrics from Saul Of Tarsus "I am not ashamed" when i think of Mattie. he truely is not ashamed, he gets before any crowd of any size and will tell them about our amazing God. Thats how believers should be.

[XCallXMeXmatt]

Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved."

[NickIsAPlagueOfGod]

@JakeWearsPrada  100% agreed hes not 1 bit ashamed of it

[TDGuitarplayer2009]

What happened with his mic?

[yayyay92]

dude i think his voice was dead or somthing...imagine doing shows like this everyday... that's brutal, but praise God the message weas good

xFOR TODAYx ALL THE WAY

[TDGuitarplayer2009]

Yeah, but when he changed to the other mic you could hear him again

[a7xboy18]

who was that singing on the last part?

[iusedtohaveabeard]

not completely sure to be honest. i think it MAY be the singer from advent, but don't quote me on it.

[jerrodmn320]

That was Louis from Damietta.

[TheRealReed]

I LOVE THEM i was their AA the pits were so fun

[RyanCmetal]

amazing song
