The Acacia Strain - "Balboa Towers" (Live - 2008) Prosthetic Records

[hxcreery]

one of my favorite bands to see live. But whats up with their guitar tuning for this? Its higher than the album version

[TheDrummingClown]

Badass band, but why the fuck is there not more headbanging at 4:06?

[Sploogface]

@TheDrummingClown because headbanging is gay as fuck.

[nickDGK100]

[Sploogface]

@jnsbeyer Vincent doesn't look like shit

[H4ndM4d3Artist]

Emmure sucks, Why some cocksuckers insists on saying The acacia strain and Emmure on the same fuckin phrase? Emmure can swallow cum and die in orgasm while listening The Acacia Strain.

[heinyhxc]

"FUCK!!" Give everyone a flipper = classic.

[WHOOPWHOOP74]

BEST METAL BAND EVER

[mrdsilv]

worcester palladium bitches!

[failure2fall412]

theres no way emmure is better then the acacia strain.. emmure is a bunch of cry babys and plagurise from the acacia strain and im sure others.. and the acacia strain is the end of the world soo..

[IanqueParker]

@failure2fall412

I love both TAS and Emmure, but Acacia is so much more talented musically and lyrically.

[cressidaxx]

the vocalist ok, but guys just look at the drummer thats not funny anymore :D

[cressidaxx]

emmure is a way better!,

[salsa066]

The drummer seems so out of place

[blythebaby777]

@salsa066

Kevin Drum bot? The Man is a machine! His look also fits the theme of this band. Totally in-place

[MOSHsanchez]

@salsa066 he's the beast

[xenochrist15]

These guys are the shit and so are Emmure.

[EvilMuffin200]

The energy is just fucking unreal when that opening riff kicks in and Vincent starts singing. Too heavy for words.

Need to see these guys soon.

[JaredL19]

@EvilMuffin200 dude i know what you mean ive seen them live 7 times and i still cant get enough i wanna see them again but the next time they come around is in the summer on warped tour

[IanqueParker]

In two weeks these guys and Emmure will be playing the same gig in Dallas. This should be interesting....

[karllebel]

@IanqueParker haha you'll get to hear the same songs twice...

FUKK emmure

[kickstart06]

[ohaiashleybarcus]

[BDean97]

soo sick!

[timketchumcfr]

And yes, the bassist does stop playing at that part as well.

[timketchumcfr]

All they do at 0:39 is pan the guitar to only the left speaker. Thats a sound guy thing.

[acewhole10198]

Sickest band to see live

[Vayne15367]

whens dl gonna start playing live again i really miss seeing him play live

[jacums69]

@Vayne15367 I would say once they start making enough money cause he isn't touring so he can work to support his wife and kid

[philieaglerulz]

@Vayne15367 they start the Welcome to Hell tour with White Chapel, I Declare War, Veil of Maya, and Chelsea Grin in February

Be there or be square!

[tony07v]

@philieaglerulz maybe i would if they came to my state.

[bodhiskyy]

@philieaglerulz Totally fuckin seein that shit in mass. i better bring some depends or Im gonna make a mess as soon as they come on

[burgertime69]

HEAVIEST FUCKIN BAND ON THE PLANET

[acmnnl7]

do theis guys do weddings?

[airsoftmaniac23]

@acmnnl7 for funerals. no fucking weddings.

[BDean97]

@airsoftmaniac23 haha 

[matthewfro1234]

2:34 Two different guitar notes in each speaker at the same time. Somethin's up.

[kartman1751]

@matthewfro1234 They recorded the 2nd and in some places 3rd guitars after. some bands also have other guitarists off the stage playing sometimes 

[slipknotman012345678]

@matthewfro1234 most likey dubbed or, as @mIsErYsUnSeT000 it could be because the bassist does stop.

[WindsOfPestilence]

@joobaby69 Doesn't even matter, Emmures vocalist is just trash, in comparison to everyone.

[thedeadwalksober]

This is just pure AMAZING. The Acacia Strain till my fuckin grave<333

[PxAxZxDrums]

Does anybody know if DL is using some kind of double out-put switch to make it sound like there are 2 guitarists @ 0:40? I don't know much about guitar equipment so I don't know what it's actually called but it sounds like he's turning one set of speakers on and off by remote or something. Maybe it's from the soundboard but I don't see another guitar player on stage. Am I the only one who hears it?

[geemichaelwha]

@PxAxZxDrums most bands run a second (third if you're bury your dead) guitar track live, it just fills out the sound more. avenged sevenfold got busted doing this on the warped tour a couple years back.

[mIsErYsUnSeT000]

@PxAxZxDrums i think it sounds like that cuz the bassist stops playing for that part of the riff. if you watch him at 0:39 it seems like he slides his fingers down to mute the bass. believe it or not, the bass can really make that much of a difference. idk if im right, but thats what i think.

[ashec]

the acacia strain...emmure.... who gives a fuck. just enjoy the music :)

[Decemation92]

SHE ASKED ME TO MARRY HER SO SLIT HER FUCKING THROAT. I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BE ALONE FOREVER. LEAVE THE TRASH, WHERE THE TRASH BELONGS.

[1fetoch1ful]

There's something about Vincent's voice that's so awesome, it sounds like no other scream

[jsnipple]

his highs sound like a choking kangaroo...Emmure all the way

[ExpIores]

@jsnipple Hahahah his vocals are fucking amazing. And fuck Emmure.

[XFerrosX]

@ExpIores leave emmure alone they fuckin kick ass dude :)

[zacwashere2007]

@ExpIores Lol. Quit hating on Emmure, The fued's over, you can stop pretending you care. Btw Acacia strain and Emmure are both amazing.

[ExpIores]

@zacwashere2007 Lol obiously you care, my comment is 5 months old. Dipshit. Gtfo scenesterrr

[Josho1993]

@jsnipple get fucked.

[brandonBRKDWN]

@jsnipple

emmures live vocals are better?

are joking.

[crazylegsdil]

@jsnipple -- Well his lows sound like heaven. And im not going to argue but why dont people that argue about whos better, why not argue that this genere is amazing and that mainstream sucks. Emmure and TAS all the fucking way

[churchofaiden]

Fucking video is so overdubbed it is insane.

[ExpIores]

@churchofaiden You are so cool.

[mebich1]

they are getting better as i listen to them i used to not like them at all so thats a big step towards liking them but i still think they are a little too cheesy for me

[Noodle497]

Core is the shittiest form of music around - blatant rip off of Metal... With certain exceptions...

TAS is definitely one of them. Normally I stick to Metal but TAS is just one of those bands...

Although, they're heavy as fuck so that's why.

[assc0bra]

@Noodle497 same i never like alot of their older stuff until they made the continent cd then they got better

[RuKuLuke]

@Noodle497

How do you rip off a genre?

lol

[DEATHMETALFAN1000]

I dont get why people say this isnt live, if they are all playing there instruments(which they clearly are) its live! TAS FOREVER

[treethedeanoftree]

this song destroys babies ! great fuckin band

[ExpIores]

Who the fuck disliked this?

[OGDuckling]

by far best band ive ever seen live.

[jonierful]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh mi goddddd amazingggggg

[Chimaira1908]

this was made for me.

[StopLifter]

Beast of a drummer

[lesclaypoolthesecond]

best lyrics ever

[BlastYouVileWoman827]

STRAIN FUCKING OWNS!!!!

[AncientRoyalKing]

Dont get me wrong, but how some ppl can compare this to emmure? really.

This shit is ten million times, brutal, way fuckin original and none less important well better played. The Acacia Strain is the fuckin shit, i say no to the generics. TAS can execute their music, breakdown-massive-everytime shit, and do something new about it in so many ways. Vincent can say brutal, psychotic shit without being cliche and combined with those awesome riffs and drum, this beast become in many ways, beauty.

[ExpIores]

@AncientRoyalKing Fuck shit brutal butthole.

But I totally agree with you.

[BDean97]

damn vincent is one angry motherfucker

[jhnbhnm]

2:14 JIZZ

[DoctorLipsh1ts]

This DVD was so worth $20. If you like acacia strain or if you're interested in them at all, go out and buy it ASAP.

[falige]

"love Avenged Sevenfold?" fucking retarded ass google ad. NO I FUCKING LOVE THE ACACIA STRAIN!

[midihc]

FUCK!!!!!!!! (breakdown)

luvvvvvvs me some acacia strain!!!!!! i hate everything and everyone but i luvvvvvvssssss them!

[DoctorLipsh1ts]

"FUCK!!!!" (middle finger in the air)

made that break ten times better

[CompleteExile]

@ClaridyXBL im not saying he dosent love music and if you get as bored as me than you would of done the same lol

[sugarcakes5]

they should be one next years mayhem

[hellmitt94]

@sugarcakes5 theyre too good for mayhem

[micheal10250]

i love how kevin is always smiling while hes playing, even during there most brutal shit

[DAZZED07]

TAS IS SO EPIC LIVE!

[ZombieChopTop]

i can NOT fucking wait to see these guys. they should be headlining, but of course they're not

[beardxcore]

"I told you I wanted to be alone... forever."

[demoralizer941]

too bad they re-recorded the guitars on the live dvd. really turned me off. still love these dudes though.

[killswitchhabib]

these guys are so brutal. long live TAS

[BlastYouVileWoman827]

SHE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO FUCK, SO I SPIT IN HER FACE! SICKNESS!

[tyborgofeast]

I went to the 2010 new england hardcore metalfest and saw vnce back stage when impending doom had their set. it was fucking amazing. i was like " umm thats vince from the acacia strain"

[midihc]

wow they sound great live! awesome video

[morganrcks21]

i was at this show at the polladium, it was absolutely amazing. they played a 2 hour set, and everyone in the pit had blood on their shirts. BRUTAL!!!

[beardxcore]

Best lyrics of any of their songs in my opinion.

[RedSox5134]

the riff at 1:30 is fuckin awesome

[gutturaldissonance]

definately one of my favourite songs on the album sounds fucking perfect live

[shotgunending1]

these lyrics are amazing and hilarioussss

[BeyondZeGrave]

Vincent's vocals are so brutal here...

Sound better than on the album honestly.

[gutturaldissonance]

@benisjammin29 fail troll is fail

[diabeticmonkey]

@benisjammin29 I'll get at marking your comment as spam troll.

[spotlikesballs]

@benisjammin29 emmure is the definition of hype. they aren't bad. but unlike TAS, they got all wrapped up in being cool. listen to how much of that gay talking shit he does on gallows and how much he did on felony. it's pathetic. it's become all of his vocals style. acacia always has and always will be fucking metal. so stop sucking dick and accept it you little faggot. or vincent bennet will come to your house and rip your fucking head off.

[findanewgoddd]

@spotlikesballs if he calls him vince one more time...

[thebtbamfan]

@benisjammin29 Haha. Nah. End of story.

[zeedi0]

We had no barricades when i saw them, so when i went to stage-dive, Vince grabbed me and was screaming the lyrics into my face. Best moment of my life.

[taythedud]

you lucky son of a bitch

[soad1017]

@zeedi0 same fuckin thing happened to me tonight. i can die a happy person now

[CompleteExile]

@zeedi0 you must have a very boring life than

[ClaridyXBL]

@CompleteExile Lol he has a boring life? Maybe he loves music.... Maybe you love tech decks lol

[TheJackass347]

@zeedi0 do you remember what verse it was?

[TasteMyNutss]

@zeedi0 You must have a pretty shitty life

[zeedi0]

@TasteMyNutss Obviously I don't literally mean it was the best moment of my life. I'm just saying it was an awesome moment. Fucking troll.

[TasteMyNutss]

@zeedi0 ilu

[DrumBum561]

@zeedi0 i cant wait to see them live.

[bashinskulls1]

@zeedi0 hes a beast dude this band is brutal like whitechapel but this band is way cooler

[maggot4life9922]

@zeedi0 he doesnt like to be called "Vince"

[redvsblue333]

@maggot4life9922 he might rip your head off

[sanchize06]

@maggot4life9922 You are right sir.  Listen to the song Cthulhu some of the lyrics are about that.

[Deadmeatproductions]

4:06

goosebumps. holy fucking shit.

[MrDwreck21]

fucking ill u can see me crowd suffering at 2:07

[xgetstokedonitx]

suffering?

[bushbar123]

Like the screams.

[lainiac2012]

Look at that crowd! So much energy, fuck I wish I was there.

[snewso]

i like the artwork on stage, and the camera work, but it just doesn't seem like this band has much substance. lamb of god wannabes ? 3/5

[zombisnacks]

@snewso You must be an Emmure fan, GTFO. How you could even compare lamb of suck is beyond my comprehension.

[snewso]

just one persons opinion, take it or leave it.

[abcusuario98]

good

[AdreinTheBand]

i love this band

[ELXFOOLY]

que buen tema !!

[godisarobot]

first comment. acacia strain are fuckin sick

[macaframa12]

Who the fuck cares about a first comment. Try taking a girls virginity, instead of a videos.
