Hands down one of the best bands I've ever seen in concert. They're amazingly approachable, case in point: Went up to George after a concert at the now defunct Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas, TX and he had two girls with him chatting him up. I came up wanting to say hi and ended up having a killer conversation with the guy.
Fanfuckingtastic group of guys, couldn't be more amazing.
Just saw them friday in medicine hat they opened for billy talent unfortunately but of course completely stole the show haha this was the craziest pit of the night except the cover of sabotage by cancer bats
i dont get it..in videos the two like main singers look really hot but in pics on myspace and stuff they dont look hot at all....???it dont make sense
@AICnSP4EVA Their EP coming out this spring should be sick, they are also talking about making a CD of them redoing old stuff, A jazzed up greatest hits if you will.
I havent got all there albums...ive got their first self titled album...Young cardinals and this one watch out...This album of the three iz my favourite it has nice melodies...and the music iznt 2 fast i fink they got the mixture right in this album...there's nufing wrong wif the other albums but i just fink they did a much better job wif this one:)
its alexis on fire named after a stripper called Alexis who was set alight by accident at a strip club. Heard from the bands mouths themselves when tehy were in birmingham UK doing there tour. sorted
Dallas said he got it from a show about Alexis Fire who was a contorsionist and and worked fire breathing into her act. The title of the show was called "Alexis on fire" So when the band formed George said lets just use that name. I saw an interview where dallas said that. I can probably find it again.
I think Alexis Fire was the name of a porn star they named their band after. They had to change it from Alexisfire to Alexisonfire cause of a suit or something
Oh... No you see, It's a quote from the lead singer, George. The the Porn star Alexis Fire had a website called Alexisonfire, the law suit didn't really have an effect because she didn't copyright the the site..
@ TheSykotik1. Every band has to evolve. I loved their sound at this point and also their debut album but they evolved their sound and Crisis was also an amazing album and so is young cardinals but in a different way, if they stayed the same they would become unoriginal and jaded. please grow up
I don't think the last 2 sucked! They're a different kind of good! Nothing can beat the first 2, but sheesh! This is still AOF we're talking about, man!
@WalkingTravisty This is post-hardcore, gtfo with all this "screamo" shit
"The next record, I think, is us pretty much wanting to put the knife in screamo. I don't want to be the band that saves it, I want to be the band that kills it."
Hah, okay. I know almost every band rejects the label it's given and usually just create their own five word long genre like post-grunge-deathcore-metal.
In my opinion, they scream, making them screamo, but I'd rather concentrate more on the music than the labels.
Oh it doesn't matter what the band thinks I agree with you, alot of bands don't actually kno much about genres, im TELLING you its not screamo, in fact im unconvinced screamo is a genre at all, I see nothing but post-hardcore and metalcore bands being described as such, as a bunch of retarded scene kids coined the term, it angers me when its used
But I shall continue to use the term. There isn't really any other way to describe it. If I'm looking for a band that screams, I'm going to ask for a "screamo band". That's what the term is commonly used for, and it will continue to be used in that way.
Thats fine, screamo could be used in that context, its when people consider it a genre or official term of music, its not, personally I say screaming band just so I don't aide the misinformation, but as long as your using the term in a proper context what the hell do I have to complain about =P
I was at the first of those at cambridge, with anti-flag, ghost of a thousand and four year strong, amazing sets by all and agreed, alexisonfire are amazing live, as are four year strong and ghost of a thousand, not too keen on anti-flag though. Alexisonfire have always been top quality live
didnt used to like them, but then found out they were playing with anti-flag near me... so i decided to check them out again, and now i love em.. sick live as well
im surprised this video doesnt have 20 million views this song is just as good if not better than this could be anywhere in the world... people just need to discover them
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
all fucking band who scream are realy cool, this is real music, that not every body who can scream. dream theater, wow metal? is say pop music, no good solo, just clasic riff and somme shity singer... anyway hardoce fucking rules and every hardcore fans are amazing...
ok they dont scream but that doesn make them soft, ur type like if u dont know about music, they r a big bad not 4 good solos, they r good 4 the composicion of theyr music like changin metric and notes and playing odd times and things that u dont even appreciate i also like hardcore n post but just dont say DT is bad and please lear somethig about music, then u can talk
Bro this music is alot better than those shitty bands you list minus Dream Theatre. All those others just hit their 7 string guitars, a 6 year old can play most of the rifts that between the buried and me plays, seriously.
stevenpfuck dude i think you are just being a fag, if you are just going to run your mouth off about a good band then you are just being a fucking prick, if you think that just because there are better bands than alexisonfire you think you can say they are shit? you fucking retard there are always bands who are going to be better, but that doesn't mean they are shit
You don't need to put a million notes per second to make real music dude, stop being a fucking metal head without an ounce of openmind. I usually listen to hardcore but I still can know if a band is making shit and if it's not. So now just stop being a hater and if you don't like this music, don'T listen to them videos.
Go listen to Braindrill, Just because the drummer plays at 280 bpm and the guitarists sweep and the bassist 8 finger taps on a 7 string bass and because a 6 year old can't play it doesn't make it good music. What makes music good is the people who enjoy the music and their opinions about that music, I'm into a lot of heavier stuff than you and I still enjoy Alexisonfire. That being said, stop acting like a complete idiot.
are you fucking retarded!? how is this not real music? they are playing instruments, are they not? they are singing with their own voice, are they not? it all comes together in rythem and harmony, am i correct? cause thats how i would define "real" music
woah did he even say anything bad...? let him have ambitions. we all know it probably wont happen, but if you hate the idea so much, just let him fail...it would be better ;D
this music video was so cheap, but it is so good that i cant believed it
