August Burns Red - Composure (Live Download 08)

[S0meone0898]

Is it just me or is Jesus on the drums........

[whosthatdrummer]

you dont realize how present the bass is in a live mix until it stops.

[Dmacattack93]

haunter600 yes. yes it is.

[MrUmberson]

Ironic, seeing as how they endorse Ibanez.

[haunter600]

Bassist needs to realize we can't even hear him :/

[lordzghost]

@haunter600 if there was no bassist the music wouldnt sound as good. it would also be less heavy.

[haunter600]

@lordzghost The bassist only REALLY has an effect during a breakdown, other then that, he makes little difference besides adding a mute "hurr durr" sound

[TheWarzaa]

@haunter600 are you stupid dude? Check out his tabs :s man im offended, im learning their bass and its basically their guitar. Besides bassist does screamo

[haunter600]

@TheWarzaa Bass is so easy... and you can barely hear it.

[TheWarzaa]

@haunter600 dude are you kidding me? go to a concert and you'll hear it :s thats like all you can hear at a metal concert lmao. Besides the drums.

[haunter600]

@TheWarzaa So the studio version is THAT much different than live?

[beingthewanted94]

@haunter600 dude the bassist holds the band together

[haunter600]

@beingthewanted94 How?

[beingthewanted94]

@haunter600 he keeps the the rythm and the tempo 

[vitormlbrandao]

this video was the top of my day x'D

[ZaCkY921]

Why is this band soo fuckin amazing!?!? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKIN ANSWER ME THAT!??!?!

[bburrito4]

Man i get picked on for wearing flip flops now i have this video to back me up :)

[1S0AR]

I love how even iff I've evolved (and I'm definately not the only one) to much heavier music like meshuggah and stuff, abr never gets old and I still love them

[bigdogcash]

These guys dress the way they do because they are regular guys. I think it's great that they're confident in their own identities and don't feel the need to play dress up. You don't have to wear black shirts with skulls or zombies in order to rock. If thats who you are then great, but if thats not you then theres no rule that says you have to change your look in order to play badass music.

[OnEsHoTsHoRt]

Lmao does ABR practise their routine before an upcoming show?

[MattKondrath]

@OnEsHoTsHoRt no they dont. its a band thing. they say its bad luck to practice the day of a show. so when they dont have shows they practice, unless they dont feel like it. lol my band is like this too. never practice the day of a show. crazy bad shit happens for some reason e.e

[Dannxxor]

@MattKondrath same with my bands..somehow we end up getting kicked off stage or dont play at all lol

[Plektrum4]

i met the band at houose of metal in Umea, sweden, :D touring with lamb of god, job for a cowboy and between the buried and me :D

[freerider2337]

i love there is not one gibson instrument in this band lol

[JOweLLMetaLgore]

the rythm guitarist

[sellepsychofanatic]

the rythm guitarist plays a esp ltd.

[JOweLLMetaLgore]

ahhhh.....

[BashYouLongtime]

@sellepsychofanatic In this video. But I know all of the guitarists for this band play Ibanez guitars.

[aquadead101]

ibanez ftw!

[SanMarin]

@freerider2337 well.. maybe Gibson picks or straps??

[JOweLLMetaLgore]

THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!

[number660]

Dustin is always wearing the same shirt

[TheBagelBros]

gotta love this band man. haha back when matt had a pearl set.

[baker1690]

gotta love Dustins pick throw at 3:58 haha.

[Rosecrance92]

GODS

[AllWillFail]

how ironic is it that all theyre music is christian and yet they are gods in their own right!?!? buahaha lol

[gypsyjew22]

yea def. one of the top 5 best live bands ever, saw em twice ahhhhh so great and consistent

[OzONormaxJeaNOzO]

they definately prove to me over and over again why they're one of the only good CORE bands left :] Thrill Seeker, Messengers, and now Constellations i love them all :D

[SpurOfMoment]

I was there - VERY good.

[kevin122274]

the bassest has good stage presence

[DanRead]

they ALL have a good stage presence.

[ibanezxiphos700]

@DanRead

yea, execept for that lazy drummer sitting for the whole song. jk

[siclaxative]

August burns red are fucking INCREDIBLE. one my favorite bands, EVER.

[MUSICMAN123789]

clothes dont matter. but some people with hollister and american eagle and stuff are preps but not them for sure

[romanthemusician]

@ratbag1994 ITS GRIPPING AROUND YOUR THROOOOOOOOAT

[zebratrt]

a 150 watt half stack dubbed to a PA system will play a huuuuuge auditorium. it did fine here as well.

[Drumskyle]

good soundsystem :D

[22Rocker22]

2 letters, PA

When i see ABR live, they used the half stacks, but they were miced up to the PA

[bigdogcash]

@codyvito111 Um - at any venue larger than a dive bar, they ALWAYS mic the amps and then amplify them through the PA system. Therefore in reality no one really needs a full stack. some musicians want multiple cabinets in order to get a special sound theyre looking for, but in reality it is TOTAL overkill. You can play a stadium wirth a combo amp and it will sound perfectly fine.

[chAOStoob]

@bigdogcash so what youre saying is .....halfstacks FTW...lol

[RandomlyPredictable]

Their playing ibanezes on the gibson stage.lol

[Marco92music]

yeh but ibanez rules

[Vitor930928]

who cares about her clothes?

they are famous beacause of their music .|.

[Shitebag32]

The fact that people pay more attention to the way a band dresses than to the music they make just proves that there are alot of retarded little cunts out there who seem to have forgotten what the job of a band is, and that is make good music which is what abr do. So all you little faggots shut the fuck up!

[xinjudgmentx]

i agree 110%

[AugustBurntMe]

AGREED!

who cares what clothes they wear?

just enjoy the music

so many hardcore acts wear those tight gay little pants and v-neck shirts...who cares?

just listen and enjoy the music

[mansonrockxxx]

Agreed, like come on the wear american eagle and i really couldn't careless, if its good music thats for the fucking win!

[knuckles92s]

its called a china not crash

[tangowithalex]

they wear polos and colorful t shirts instead of black tees.... they can jump around on stage in space suits for all I care...their music is sick regardless of what they are wearing

[anothongy]

music has nothing to do with appearance. listen to the song and stop labeling people, grow up. you'll realize later in life that people are people, people are not punks, goths, preps, skaters, gangsters, whatever the labels are now.

[LPFAN1919]

@anothongy what are you talking about. if someones a punk, they are a punk, if someones gangster, they are a gangster!!

[jakex5x]

they are probly one of the best live bands i know

[OFFTHEHEEZAY944]

hahah thats what i like about them anyway, they dont wear any like underground brand like shipshape or drop dead, but they still kick some mayjor fucking ass, i love ABR

[k77fahey77]

they r preppy but it doesnt even matter they rock anyway

[uuunnntt]

does one of guitarists use ibanez rga 121 ?

[biffer2323]

its time to gain some ground :)

[frankiemillard]

prep metal ?

are you listening to yourselves ?

that shit doesn't even exist

Do you remember why slipknot started to wear

masks ?

they said that it's because it's all about music

not image, they didn't want to be known by who they are but by their music

august burns red it's fucking epic and I will love them whether as they dress like hardcore guys or prep boys or fucking mickey mouse and shit I don't fucking care and everyone who cares it's a fucking POSER

[Starmenas]

I Completely agree with you,

why should any1 care what the band looks like?,

as long the music is good :]

[mindgame14]

winter frezzes yellow

[TheeDevilWearsPrada]

Winter Burns White

[Damendan]

winter isn't a month...

[RRectiontom]

epic XD

[unclerico86]

They use Marshall amps now?

[dtcarthy]

nah, they are just standard at download festival. probably have their own setup behind the scenes

[vaginestein]

watch the sweet bass move at 1:11

[shankles3]

[InebriatedAssClown]

why cant I find a good quality video of this song live

[AbominationOfnation]

August burns fucking red

[Josielikeskoalas]

[vaginestein]

DOES IT REALLY I DIDNT KNOW FAG

[Underoath7711]

Those aren't the breakdowns i'd like to see...

[gac3la]

haha i luv how the leadsinger tries 2 throw the mic 2 at the last part...

epic failed

[fechai101]

its prep metal ahaha. who cares they are better then any other metal band out there i think its tight preppy kids playin the best music known to man kind!

[Scrinny]

i agree with the second part of your comment but idk about prep metal, this is incredibly technical

[thedivinesuicideof]

Yeah. Stop basing the prep because of what they wear, jackasses. Grow up, they make good music, and they can wear whatever they damn please.

[serumaphex]

i agree with the technical part, awesome band

[setyouranchorXxBHCxX]

what the fuck is prep metal?????????

Really enlighten me

[voxman007]

i think you're confused.. wtf is prep metal? just because they want to break the mold of wearing black just like EVERYONE else doesnt make them preppy. i mean honestly.

[fechai101]

eh it was a joke no such thing as prep metal its just funny combo of words i love ABR my fav band=] godmetal/metalgods is what they are

[metalskater9]

who gives a shit how they dress? i kinda like it cuz it makes them different than most other bands, it makes them stand out and unique. their music kicks ass anyway

[lolicnessy]

omg i fucking looking at the comments, everytime people are fucking blabbering on about the different genres and thir clothes its soooooo fucking gay like the guy below is god damn riteee

[insaneXhighs]

well, just say that they're waaay better than any of those "hardcore" bands that these kids are talking about.

don't matter how they dress.

its the music. not how they look.

they could be wearing gangster clothes or cloth and sheiks hah,

its the music. thats all :)

[xXY03lXx]

they sound out of sinc in some parts:S

but... still i love them!!!

[cheetah543]

a true hardcore person wouldn't conform with the non conformists lol

dress how the fuck you want, not what people expect

how many hardcore/metalcore bands wear the stuff that they do?

[ohyessir22]

God dammit I wish the guitar player would take off that fucking chad ass polo shirt.

[thierrygooner]

it doesnt matter what he looks like ...the whole band wears like american eagle and abercrombie and stuff and they're good

[promdom]

esactly. like evey band dusnt have to wear all metal or emo pussy shit.

[promdom]

why??

[tmb00x]

i think its hilarious

[Death360]

so what it's what he wants to wear

alot of it is american apparel

which is really comfortable and soft

[ArsonistsGATG]

lol soft

thats so win

[UOTCbassist]

looks like an older model ibanez sr750 to me..

[timmehiscool]

its a warwick

[washburn9]

ibanez

[floralninja007]

what bass is he usin?

[GuitaristDave33x]

that was fuckin insane...all i want is better quality and thn it wouldve been a gift from god...ABR is a gift from god man rock on!

[Melfi14]

i totally agree with u :D

[alkalinetrio751]

kicck-ass song. frickin siiick!

[BassistNathan]

sick

[LanzoRoth]

ti pompa un puttanaio sta canzone!

[dbarnett191]

matt's using a pearl? that werid

[jonjonburnsred]

sure looks like it...

that's whack.

We need the Truth's

[dbarnett191]

true, but pearl's high end stuff is better than truths. no offense to truth cause i love them, but pearl has some sick wood blends with pearl and mohogany. i hate children of bodom but i saw them live with btbam and jaska uses pearl and it sounded amazing

[taylertron]

I think he's just using that kit because download festival is somewhere in the UK and they didn't want to spend all the time and money getting his kit across the pond.

[snapascrew]

probably true considering JB and Brent are playing marshall halfstacks and usually JB runs a 5150 and Brent runs a VHT d120

[abdielXIII]

Yeahh I think tayletron is right because when they played here in monterrey city matt used a poor yamaha stage custom kit =( he just brought his cymbals nd stands but the main reason was that they didn't want to spend money in the transportation of their stuff, but anyway the show was incredible.

[shaneloveshisdrums]

their might have been multiple bands there so they just shared a set and stacks who knows

[HeScreamsEpic]

this is br00tal at best.

[nicknapolo5]

theyre fucking sick . bass players sick these guys are nuts

[floydkid123]

jesus christ. the growl at like 2:30ish is nuts. hes such a good fuckin vocalist. i saw em back in may in hartford with AILD and misery signals, they fuckin kick asses with their shows dude.

[phantomfreak1010]

more and more your demeanour looks like quicksand!!! awesome i would give my left nut to see thesse guys live with my fav band as i lay dying

[nicklk132]

haha they just toured with them i saw them in san francisco together

[floydkid123]

dude yea man i saw em with AILD bro it was fuckin insane mannn it was them, they closed with composure, then AILD was on and omg haha. loooved it.

[nitrostealth6]

THAT WAS AN INSANE PIT

[BeccaSchmeka]

Haha i was with the previous two people who left comments, chris and mat and it was ME who threw the muller rice on you all :) was hilerious.

[ReignOfMat]

lmfao it was me and my mates throwing the muller rice pots haha, we got loads free from the tents.

I was the one doing the "lawnmower windmill" (Were i grab him and throw him up and down like a lawnmower whilst he windmills)with my mate chris.

Good times

[stannmax]

where i come from we call that the "windbarrow".

haha

[ReignofChris]

My friend threw that muller rice hahaha!

Unlucky.

Did you see the two kids doing the crazy move in the pit =]

that was me!

[AtheroNp]

I was just abit to the right of you, i filmed this too!:D the pit was fucking amazing wernt it? xD

[COURTNEYJADE]
