Earth Crisis - Firestorm (last show)

[wmunsey81]

gotta love it at 3:00 when the dude jumps off crazy high and lands in the crowd.

[karlthunderaxe]

lmao what a bunch of fucking clowns.

[CullenHDavis]

Thank god cm punk chose cult of personality instead of this

[sXeMope]

@CullenHDavis Firestorm would have fit the heel CM Punk perfectly

[brothers1]

jock jams for conservative white males in the USofA

[imart9000]

@Ceminon They are actually a band that promotes environmental protection/saving the planet and living "straight edge" lives, which basically means being completely free from alcohol and drugs of any kind, even including nicotine/caffeine. So basically you're fake and gay!

[kingnat2]

@imart9000 Any foreign substance to the body is a drug. So they can't eat wheat. Their fucking legit.

[copsondonuts]

lol yeah....come try that militant crap with me and my friends. ill beat the shit out of you straight edgers...like i always have. trust fund rich kids trying to mosh, take that shit somewhere else. anytime you homo's wanna dance, bring it.

[xfreshuntildeathx]

@copsondonuts Damn, tough guy.

[kingnat2]

Think how bad that room must have smelled.

[uglyguido]

good music but holy fuck what a sausage party!

[sabo920]

this is the last show from the future!!!!!!

[walterslenny]

i could never be straightedge myself but the message and music was always incredible

[BobbyBeanBagz]

No women in the crowd. Not one.

[yellowxdiscipline]

which "last show" was this?

[iwantone2]

@yellowxdiscipline this was the 2001 last show

[xTORY24EDGEx]

It was their "last show" at the time, then they reunited.

[BINGERZallday]

sickest hardcore video...ever. why isn't hellfest still in NY!!??

[xthatkidx]

@BINGERZallday IN 04 THEY GOT SUED BY THEIR INSURANCE CARRIER FOR $2 MILLION... NO US INSURANCE WILL TAKE THE RISK OF COVERING THEM SO NOW THEY PUT ON HELLFEST IN EUROPE.

[crossingpointvideo]

@xthatkidx That Hellfest has NOTHING to do with the USA Hellfest mate.. Totally different show

[steveorama1978]

looks like one big gay club butt fuck session

[weedsportsux]

"last show" lol

[tolebastard]

i miss this band!!!fuck!

[madballer17]

@tolebastard They are still alive and well. They are writing a new album as you read this actually. They played a home show in syracuse this past march. It was off the wall. Cannot wait for their new album!

[aumenaducca]

I drove 7 hrs from MI to this show(hellfest 2001). Me and my brother decided to take the first half of the final day to go tour NYC. When we got back, Candiria was on stage but the fascist security were not letting people reenter the building....wtf?!

We paid our $30 for a 3 day pass, but I guess security doesn't know what a "pass" is. I was pretty peeved at the time, kinda over it now...

[ixpogoxi]

@aumenaducca

Remember everyone booing Arkangel because there was a rumor that he beat his girlfriend up. This year had some of the best bands playing for sure.

[cronker78]

Judging from the size of the bass player, some of the EC members abandoned the Vegan SxE lifestyle! 'Roids and Meat anyone??

For what it's worth though, great band, great track!! 

[grimmdreadly]

@cronker78 not actually. all the members of earth crisis are still vegan sXe. there are alot of vegan weightlifting supplements out there

[michaelz6366]

it really sucks knowing the best days of hardcore are over... R.I.P TRUE hardcore... you will be missed

[LazNeedsABand]

@michaelz6366 true hardcore is still around, ie Reign Supreme, Trapped Under Ice are 2 great newer bands, same with Since the Flood... but it's definitely not what it used to be, remember Cold as Life?? Sickest band ever, or E town Concrete!!!

[michaelz6366]

@LazNeedsABand lol yea man i remember both those bands great bands. yea ill agree there is still alot of good bands coming out it just seems the scene where im from is dead and im from long island ny and that just makes it that much more depressing

[TRex0086]

@LazNeedsABand ...First Blood, Lionheart are a couple more

[montanastevens]

@michaelz6366 check out bands like Touche amore and Comadre they are new and growing fast, it dose the heart good

[KdogTheReelz]

Real hardcore was awesome, but stupid screamo mosh pits just suck !

[hubert25]

when was this?

[scales1020]

what a great post!

[bisog329]

Amazing show!! I was there and loved every second of it.. It was like 150 degrees in that room when EC took the stage and even the 20+ people who were carried out for heat exhaustion loved their set... AMAZING!!

[FilmerStatus]

HOLY FUCK

[straightedger9]

\m/

[denniseck3]

People who hold the crowd back suck.

[brincher]

100!

[SeakainoTeichou]

GET THE KID WITH THE SIDEBURNS!!

[xyTJxy]

i was there,drenched. it must have been over 120 degrees in there. good times

[omarx138]

let's play spot the minority. wait....

[musicbehemoth]

im trying but all i see is white people =D

[omarx138]

@musicbehemoth exactly.

[nybass2k]

@omarx138 what does minorities have to do with this song? or this band?

[Sloppypoopfight]

fuck you you fukn scrubb...who the fuck cares about if minorities are there or not. Its about who like s the music. And if you knew ANYTHING about these guys or any thing of the scene at that time no onne/nothing was about race. But the again youre prob some piecve of shit that listens to rap and gayness anyway, eat a dickup and hickup you fukn scrubb

[omarx138]

@Sloppypoopfight dude, i cant even understand what your saying. angry whiteboy.

[Sloppypoopfight]

@omarx138....Exactly,great comment. Youre the mongaloid that brought race up...you have no comeback at all and you keep talking about race......Stop diverting the issue at hand(which is no one at that time in that scene gave a fuck what color you were) with stupid remarks about my race you dumb jerkoff....Reply back when you have something smart to say

[SkottyBREAKDOWNS]

@omarx138 this furthers my arguement about two things. 1- its bullshit that only white people can be convicted of rascism or hate crimes,when CLEARLY ignorance brands many,white or black. 2- its people like you,that think this way and say these types of things that divided the true unerground hardcore scene,and plagued it with bands like bmth and the devil wears prada.its not about anything more than a bunch of throw away kids coming together,lookin for something to believe in.and having family.

[clay4nazz]

that crowd is nuts

[Imi1able]

Burn in hell fucking nazi bustards

[kidwithawish]

Fuckin' crowd !!! =D

[sexnviolence666]

What shit has Trustkill and Victory turned into..

Shame.

ExC are great!

[villhaven]

notice how karl stays away from the crowd, jfc, hes always been a pussy. GET THE KID WITH THE SIDEBURNS!

[eeast1975]

Could have something to do with the fact that Karl actually wanted to get through the song for once in his life, since he thought it was going to be the last time ever performing it... or it could have been because it was 500 degrees in there and being crowded by people made it so much hotter. There was about 3 inches of liquid on the floor from people's sweat... people were slip n' sliding in it at the end ...gross.

[artiegohome]

I watched Karl flip off of a 20' amp tower into a crowd in November of '96.

[villhaven]

Thats prolly back when he was hopped up on speed and pain killers.

[xamberxaguiarx]

he was no pussy in denver

[villhaven]

you couldn't be more correct sir.

[christotheedge]

it's still a positive scene,

and i'm pretty sure that tough guy thing died off in the 90's

[JcWhatCounts20]

Idk, man, you would be surprised.

[ILuv2troll]

I don't respect people who are straight edge as much as I respect people who enjoy a sober lifestyle without adhering to some label. It's just another identity....when you add the group mentality to straight edge it would often lead to violence. Anger and hatred destroys more lives than drugs ever will.

[hubert25]

when was this??

[Ruffian26]

It was at Hellfest in 2001.

[czfuckingw]

earth crisis rulezz!!! great fucking lyrics + they care a lot about the world and animals... good job guys!!! see u in august

[aufachse]

Bullshit! All my friends still got it and passed the 30.

[super10end]

What ends up happening is that the edgers turn 21 and thats when the edge fades away.

[weedsportsux]

edgy post. ha get it? edgy? haha. that's funny.

[StayTrueRay]

I agree. I also think it's the ones who never drank a beer or smoked a joint in their life are the ones that sellout the most.

[hiskas]

i used to drink and shit, and here in belgium kids start drinking at the age of 11 and the police/governement doesn't give a f*ck . what i'm trying to say is: those people who turn their back on the edge on 21 weren't really edge, just posers

[xStaycleanx]

agreed. that haven't experienced all the bullshit that drinking and drugs cause. I used to drink and occasionally smoke but I have learned from my mistakes

[Vaiseoquan]

I guess I'm an exception

[economichitman]

Poison free, now living life so pure.

Tell me, have all your addictions been cured?

When you mark your fist, whats going through your mind?

Is this your new fix?

Projection of your addiction to another; the mind is a powerful tool.

Just one of the pack with a pat on the back, marked fist finger in the air.

Tell me would you, tell me could you, if your friends were not there?

[basicuser12]

i got bulldog to sign my cast at the Toads place show when i saw them there still amazing

[handsex83]

im 28 former drug addict who still loves weed and eats meat and is prochoice, but ive bin an eXc fan for 15 yrs, and ive seen them numerous times and was never offended by the message. i saw them a cuple days ago with VOD, and those dudes were boozin it up so to each his own who gives a fuck if they wanna b drug free, they created the dropped d hardcore style, or at least perfectd it. i jus got their new album to the end, and its ill. they r much more metal now, but its still ill. fuck ignorance

[astrozombie134]

I like some of their music, but they have such a horrible juvenile message. It's really quite childish.

[PETETHEMEAT42]

i'm not SxE but i agree with a lot of their messages

[Westy133]

Is that a Nazi rally? Oh no, don't worry folks, it's only some fat biggot cunts ramming their extreme distorted mantra down your throat. Hang on....

[mjt910]

is this some faggot bitch online living in modern day suburbia/living off of mommy & daddy... yes i believe so

[Westy133]

No, this is a 35 year old youth worker who lives in my own home. My point is simply that these young people, who may understandably feel disenfranchised and maligned and are desperate to belong and be understood and valued become what they despise when they buy in to this bitter and ill informed ideology.

[arieleast]

nothing wrong with straight edge.

[DOOMPATROL315]

You clearly have no idea what your talking about. Being straightedge and or vegan, living a positive lifestyle, and having an positive outlet like the hardcore community is what makes this such an amazing thing. We are very strongly opinionated on the apathy to addiction and weakness. Get your facts straight before you start accusing us of being racist.

[Westy133]

I was not accusing you of being racist you dumb fuck. I was drawing a parallel between two inherently intolerant ideologies.

Also 1. Is not referring to someone as a"faggot bitch" (mjt910) homophobic or at the very least a display of great ignorance.

2. Why straight egde? Why not just someone one who chooses not to pollute your body with intoxicants. Like you I choose not to drink, smoke of do illicit drugs, also and I listen to hardcore. Do I label myself straight edge? What for?

[simonOVC]

cant wait for the show in montreal in may go vegan "a firestorm to purify!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[tyleriscool654]

this shit is crazy

[hubert25]

fucking great!

[evilxdead]

BUNNY CRISIS

[countingstars220]

if only those dickheads werent standing at the front of the stage this would be the coolest thing ever

[crucialxkarl]

agreed

[AMPercell]

Once you stop the people from getting on stage your not a "hardcore" band anymore. At least it was fun in the mid 90's. R.I.P. earth crisis.

[Guav]

The venue had placed bouncers up there, not the band.

[19sebastian96]

dumb ass, there was no stage thats y

[aquamammal]

This song gives me hope.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[AL6025]

cross out every dickhead you see broken the edge

NUESTRO ESTILO ES LlBRE DE DROGAS

[juninhoguitar]

Next January, here in Brazil!!!!

[DANxCHORIN]

Probably the craziest show video I've ever watched.

[NEWJERZ16]

this is sick..this is hardcore, the 90s..all this new ish doesn't come close to holdin its jockstrap. all these new cats would get their heads torn off in the pits back then.

[gnwp]

this is closer to metal than hardcore.

[FatNasty919]

I wonder if EC knows how much people make fun of this song.. hmm.

[DANxCHORIN]

It depends what you mean by "people". If you meant "dickheads", then you'd be correct.

[xmsax]

Fucker, net scene hxc

[AL6025]

this beats all that emo bullshit!!!

[h3r3t1k123]

damn right!!!!!1

[whcasual79]

ha i couldnt agree... i remember goin home from shows soaking in bucketloads of sweat... nufin can replace the spirit of hc early mid 90's era...

[germandude76]

ya damn right !!!

[wachnathan]

one hunderd fists flying every were brings back old times

[MamekoM]

holy f*in' testosterone tsunami...

[kismet315]

it was so hot that my camera fogged up and i got no photos!

[ScooterAdkins]

Great Song, but sadly they are fucking straight edge nazis

[tokenfyp]

they arent nazi's at all.

shut the fuck up. study up.

[yeahimsosexy]

the irony is that they were just as hateful as the skinheads they claimed to be fighting against

[tokenfyp]

yeah that is true. i just dont like people to get it twisted.

[DANxCHORIN]

safe chris!

[tribulation138]

Why did these break up? I love these guys

[aquamammal]

They're back!!

Still hXc as fucking ever.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[killarob323]

bad ass. hard as it gets

[nam232]

much respect to breaker1109 and the south florida hardcore scene. i've been out of the scene for a few years too, but still love the music. i played guitar for local hardcore band brethren out of miami. met lots of cool hardcore people. i liked this earth crisis video. it reminded me of how the scene was here a few years back. one question; was this their last show ever?

[breaker1109]

Hay man - what's up? Is this Jose or Louis? It's Mike from Tension (breaker)... This is so crazy I was just checking out the Brethren myspace page the other day... How's the old gang doing these days?

[nam232]

hey mike, what's up buddy! luis here. great to hear from you. i don't think anyone is updating the brethren anymore page because the band is no longer active. it all of the sudden stopped and everyone went their seperate ways. it was my fault. i had to move on with my personal life after many years of going to hardcore shows. i don't know what the other guys are doing, but i know that julian moved to tennessee, and i work at two jobs. still love hardcore. the scene here has changed they told me.

[XcultureX]

Wow, that just brought up some serious old memories. Still have my Tension cd and a two song Brethren tape with Trapped in Reality on it buried somewhere in my closet. This video reminds me of those days. Good times...

[SxeRevenge]

te saca too el pride esta wea !

[aquamammal]

Where was this?

Life changing band.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[ERICWENDYBRIAN]

Hellfest 2001. It's on the Earth Crisis DVD.

[xcapitanhookx]

I remember that Sunday....

Best Show ever...

Wrong the Oppressor opened up that day...

[raoulthompson]

You can't eliminate the problems in society by violence and hatred. Its just that simple.

[breaker1109]

Mixed feelings here ... I was SE and Vegan at one time ... I came from the old SE scene - starting with MINOR THREAT and 7 SECONDS ... Progressing into YOT and JUDGE. I remember buying this 7" the day it came out ... Yes it is powerful ... My friends said it sounded METAL ... I didn't care ... I thought - just a progression of HC ... But, any intolerance -- which this band implies -- cant be good for society... Any feed back here would be cool...

[seancrinnigan]

Intolerance of bullshit. I mean, shit, there's dudes in Terror who sold out and those dudes were still singing along to EXC songs and Karl was sticking the mic right in their faces.

[breaker1109]

What I was getting at was -- just lyrically ... Karl's words are pretty -- cut-and-dry - ... They leave no room for other's opinions -- or lifestyles ... One other quick thing -- There was a guy from down here named Rich Thurston -- didn't he play in TERROR? I could be wrong?

[breaker1109]

SEAN -- That's interesting ... I've been out of the scene for quite some time now. I actuality hung out with these guys when we played a show with them & STRIFE here in SOUTH FLORIDA ... circa -- 96 ... They all seemed cool ... I was never as MILITANT as they came across -- or -- come across ...

[chadinati]

Yea he played in terror. And still crossed, and culture.

[raoulthompson]

but who are you to say whats bullshit for anyone more than yourself is the question.

[raoulthompson]

I completely agree breaker, having come from a more modern day SxE scene (MA circa late 90s) that was extremely tolerant. I feel otherwise it just degenerates into another cliquish holier than thou mentality, and real movements that affect the nature of the world are about INclusion, not EXclusion

[lucaHC]

even if i'm not straight edge or vegan .. they are a legend , true hardcore metal

[bermbuster49]

good thing it was thier last show, that shit was horrible. i hate bands like this.

[richatalife]

why are you checking vids you dont like? fucker

[sshiggin]

i was there. a girl next to me cried. the show was pretty much a mess.

[version150]

yeah I agree mate: your comment certainly is. EC rule.

[AcrossTheTen]

super lame
