Mattie Montgomery of For Today preaching on The All-Star Tour at House of Blues

[JesusIsMySavior2014]

@drumsishot then heres a thought, don't watch the set! you don't like, then thats why God gave you free will, so don't hate on em for telling what they believe!

[WeAllNeedACookie]

@drumsishot How can you be offended of nothing??? I'm not gonna be nice about it. Jesus wants me to fight for my beliefs. If you're gonna watch this video, cool. It obviously says preaching. Go somewhere else and spread you're virus of lies. I know Jesus is with me.

at least I'm strong enough to admit my mistakes and I'm willing to die for him as he died for me. Can you say that much? No.

[laneige45]

everyone who disliked this video and posted negative comments will be in my prayers tonight. Jesus loves you no matter what!!! :)

[tcmlr]

If your offended by what he is talking about... I'm offended by your potty mouth and beer breath...

[piinthesky1368]

It's funny that people are offended when Mattie preaches and shows his love for Christ in a speaking manner, but ALL of his lyrics say the EXACT same thing as what he's saying right here, and nobody says a word or trash talks when he screams about his faith and Christ.

[ingi19]

People have NO right to disrespect mattie on stage. It shows great ignorance. And im not even that into god.

[enchls]

why are y'all so angry at someone for sharing their passion? If you enjoy someone disrespecting God then listen to them instead of someone who preaches about God. If you know Mattie from For Today preaches every set, then perhaps you shouldn't watch their set. it's as simple as that

[alyxlittlexmonster]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE CHRISTIAN METALCORE! Even though I am struggling with my faith but this is still amazing <3

[flashbash2]

WOW!! That was Amazing how he built up his speech like that. The way he did it in a mainstream crowd was EPIC! He didn't just start off guns blazing and proclaiming Christ, but built up to it. Props!

[AnthonyB34]

You guys are all conceited morons.

This is not the typical metalcore band.

They actually believe in something, not about teenage break ups.

So, to hell with you tools who are too good to hear this.

[Reneetgeefshuysen]

Matti a modern Hero, saying what he loves and who loves him and you. This band is made to preach!

[jrangel7861]

And I'm not biased. I hate when ANY band preaches in any way. Pretty sure I already said something to the tune of that.

[jrangel7861]

I'm sorry, I thought I payed to see a metal show, not be preached the Christian word. Key word PAYED. And drove 4 hours, so why the hell would I leave the show? Yes, he was shoving it down everyone's throats. Cool, he had a life experience. In context it was out of place and unnecessary. Like I said, in a different setting/atmosphere/crowd or venue it would have fit, but that wasn't it.

[jrangel7861]

It was all delivered with an elitist Christian attitude which was highly unnecessary considering the setting. I'm all for a positive message, but don't do like swarms of other religious fanatics and shove your beliefs down others throats. It only further gives your religion or beliefs a bad name.

[sallywatergun]

@jrangel7861 Do you know what the term "shove down your throat" even means? In what way is Mattie forcing you to stay at the show? In what way is he forcing you to listen to what he has to say? For you to accuse him of that is completely unecessary. And in what way does his attitude come off elitist? He never claimed to be that so why assume something thats not true? He had a life changing experience, a very dramatic one. So it sticks out to him alot....

[sallywatergun]

@jrangel7861 In the same way that a band member of a band would go on stage and say "I followed my dreams you can follow yours" and hes up there PREACHING what he feels to be true, so is this guy. Don't be biased dude, hes not giving his "religion" a bad name you making that comment is giving YOU a bad name. Hes passionate about it. Are there things in your life that you're passionate about? How'd you feel if someone bashed you for it?

[chrishdz1418]

AMEN TO MATTIE!! Luv those guys!

[jrangel7861]

@drumsishot Well put.

[drumsishot]

To those of you not understanding why people are not liking this think of it this way. If you're a Christian and you go to a show to hear some good music, and then you hear someone spend a few minutes on stage saying fuck your god and fuck your beliefs, that's the equivalent of this. Preaching at shows is fucking dumb . Fuck that.

[Hammershath]

@drumsishot Sorry that it upset you, but I think someone sharing what has helped them along the way in a life that can be just brutal is an honorable thing no matter what you believe. And of course this is just my bias coming out (love is better than hate, peace is better than war, etc.).

[chrishdz1418]

@drumsishot dude if your not christian this band ain't for you! For Today is only for those who are great enough to know that our god is greater then this world and greater then all of us! sorry you hated the beliefs of this great band but apparently you shouldn't be listening to this awesomely god gifted band.

[drumsishot]

@chrishdz1418 Love the band, love the dudes, love everything about them, and I respect their beliefs. And what you said is not true because even they have guest vox live from Chris Motionless of Motionless In White who is not Christian whatsoever. I'm just saying, preaching at a show that isn't like an overall Christian show, it's just not cool for the half the kids in the room who aren't Christian.

[cjissecond]

@chrishdz1418 Actually this band is for everyone. They preach the love of God, which is for everyone. Don't turn Christianity into elitism, Christ died to save everyone, not people who are great enough for something. Love endures all things, even hate. Respect for the opinions of other would be awesome for everyone to have, but it is better for some to not respect the gospel than for them not to hear it.

[sallywatergun]

@drumsishot That has to be the most ignorant thing ever. What he is preaching is his lyrics. So for him speak about what he wants is dumb, than its absolutely dumb for any other band to speak at a show.

[drumsishot]

@sallywatergun So what you're saying is you went to a show. And a band got up there and said there is no god, god's a joke, just a fucking fairy tale. Then you'd be okay with it? Don't try and tell me about ignorant when you're too close minded to mind your own business.

[sallywatergun]

@drumsishot No, I wouldn't get mad, and I wouldn't tell people he is pushing atheism on me either. It'd be the same thing as if they were talking about tacos and how muched they loved them and that they were better than burgers. Its his opinion. Its what he believes. So I'm not going to be closed minded like YOU and make up lies and say hes forcing crap on me. I know you wouldn't throw a fit if someone was bashing God. Pretty closed minded. Your business is in the public. There for its....

[jrangel7861]

This was easily the lowest point of the show. This a bit unfair to those that don't practice Christianity. It would make sense at an actual Christian concert or at a church venue, but not the house of blues and not that tour.

[chrishdz1418]

@jrangel7861 sucks for you bro. This band is a christian metal band.

[doctorbooyahwho]

E.S.C. was all up in this show.

[RepentOrPeri5h]

This was awesome. Thank you so much for videoing this because I wanted to but it was halfway through by the time i could. @Hammershath youre a beast!

[AILDforever50]

This man is incredible. Love For Today.

[BlitzkriegMJK]

Fuck him. I didn't go too that concert to listen to your blast your Christian beliefs in my face. This is nothing but a cocky piece of elitist Christian bullshit. Hail stab.

[RepentOrPeri5h]

@BlitzkriegMJK lol love you too troll. FOR TODAY FTW

[Hammershath]

@BlitzkriegMJK Sorry you feel that way my friend. Hope you enjoyed the bands you went to see.

[Mattyspatz]

@BlitzkriegMJK Oh rlly? Why did you go then? You know For Today has lyrics about God, in fact every one of their songs is like that. You are the dumb one for not realizing what you got into!

[Mattyspatz]

If you listen to the music of For Today and are angered or upset by this? What!? You can listen to some hardcore truth spitting lyrics, but you cant take a little preaching? thats pathetic...

[Kloca43]

@BlitzkriegMJK my heart is broken for you. there is an emptiness in the human heart without Jesus and thats the truth. You are lost, and He still loves you.

[enchls]

@BlitzkriegMJK then why did you watch their set? Its as simple as walking outside during their set so as to not hear him preach. There's no need for you to get defensive and say such things. Be smart and mature about things instead of immediately being angry and hateful
