Hey if you guys like this you should also check out Tangent Transmission! Ive been listening to them ever since I heard them on NCIS:LA and love it. Reminds me of RXB a bit
I might even try to re-upload this video, but with better sound...because I got the soundboard recording of this show. I can sync it up with the video, have before, and it sounds a LOT better.
I'm sad I didn't know about them sooner, this was the first time I saw them live. I love that someone did quality video of them playing this show...great memories.
@acidsould They're actually not broken up, just done with summer tours. Steve confirmed in a interview. Just saw em tonight though...AMAZING!! HD videos up soon!
I still come back to watch these videos. Except when I watch them I actually turn the volume down and queue up the audio recording from the sound booth that day...it sounds epic. I was there too, first Rx show...never will forget the awesomeness.
your an idiot eric whatever, there music isnt about revolting against america its about making people realize whats going on in america, there main concern is human rights if you ask me. peace and love no war.
hahaha buddy first of no need to get salty...its the internet...second I meant it as WE (america) we need to wake up and help... soo all in all whose the actual idiot? all my love freind
thank you for catching my back. I knew he was in rx. But we still cant forget the message being sent in there music. America needs to wakeup and revolt
to eric12322..the "other guy" is Richard Balling...a former member of the rx bandits..he played secondary trombone. created The Sound Of Animals Fighting.
but the interview was linked on revolution on canvas',and TSOAF's myspace blog.dunno if its on there anymore though. but i think Rich said (if i remember correctly) that his wife was reading the AP magazine about Bear vs Shark,and said the phrase: "the sound of animals fighting" and Rich just liked it. look around on google,you're bound to find it.
I have pretty awesome audio of this entire show. You can hear everything much better than the audio in these videos. If you would like it, I could possibly send it to you. You can hear the crowd better too, to really get the full energy of that show.
I think most people didn't get into it as much because it was sooo hot that day. I did however. I got down! It really was a bit more energetic than what they showed in these.
he varies alot between different cymbals so don't hang up yourself on what kind of cymbals he uses. he uses a crashable ride a crash and a hihat. thats enough I would say. but a hihat that reminds of his sound is zildjian a new beat. peace
joe was the bad note in that part, but thats ok, he just likes to have a good time. and Tsagakis is a self taught freak on drums and he can beast anything. it doesnt matter what embree looks like, as long as he stays alive, hes always the best at what he does
ya im pretty sure it was joe cuz sheets is a good singer and knows not to try and hit that note, and joe is more of a yeller like in his other band with matt coke vs. bills
man these guys are just to ridiculous..the ending of this song never fails to pump me up. idk if you guys have seen their other bonnaroo videos, they are posted in a blog on the bandits myspace page so check those out. i would post the url, but youtube wont allow it
its basically the same but in amazing and outstanding quality and some diff songs
