The Alkaline Trio - Calling All Skeletons - Portland 6.01.08

[ConourP]

Probably the closest i'll get to seeing them live.

[karolinesofiehennum]

What the fuck is wrong with the crowd? They're just standing there. How is that even possible? This song is AWESOME.

[ethanjoncas]

portland maine or oregon?

[pioglfr2]

@ethanjoncas oregon

[asingerh]

the kid who clapped his hands in the beginning is my hero.

i've been watching Trio videos all night, and have yet to find a crowd that looks into it.

[heatherfinley]

Nice! I was in the front row for this set.

[martinezsix5o]

Last alk show I was at, BFD in cali....the crowd was going insane, I love jumping around and moshing...when people give me dirty looks or get mad im pushing them...I start doing it on purpose....that usually puts a smile on their face, if you cant have fun and mosh at a show....watch it on youtube lol

[Uhhjess666]

they are absolutely amazing

[KamonAndKenya]

@PackOneUp I hate you.

[Minnesnowtan]

ur a faggot packoneup you're just making stupid fucking assumptions. and trio people...really

[5220065]

the whole fucking crowd sucks..

it doesn't even moves on the music..

very sad!

x

[PackOneUP]

Fuck this. I cant stand to look at derek, hes a wanna be emo piece of shit. This whole album sounds like matt and derek wrote it off the tops of their heads and dan just sat there. No true trio fans can cheer on this garbage.

Anyone that thinks im full of shit can kiss my ass, I seen trio way back in 96 at fireside bowl where they played their first shows. Thats trio people not these fucks. But hey love the music if u want.

[spinXmeXaround]

wow...everyone this is like a zombie o.o i wouldve be head banging it by now...

[Joes3ff]

shittest crowd ever

[TheExplodingOne]

This songs amazing. And they sound awesome in concert. But whats with the guy who walked right in front of the band while theyre playing?

[RawrItsJuul]

they are really great live :D

[antiauraproductions]

why is everyone stood still..?

[uhohoverflow]

No joke but I watch the vids from this show and my mouth is open and I can't shut it. The band is brillant, sounds great and shit and these kids can't move AT ALL. When Derek and Dan do that hand-clapping-stuff in the beginning nothing happens. Damn. What a shitty gig was that?!

[dmon715]

this was the first time they played calling all skeletons live... ever. Nobody had even heard of this song before. This could explain the lack of clapping at the beginning and the lack of singing throughout

[andy97051]

It was also a free skate show that happened to have an awesome band there. So mostly it was little skate rats looking for free swag.

[froctix]

i feel ya but i've seen alkaline trio both indoors and outdoors, the indoor show was amazing. the outdoors show? not so much.

[xxtHeProMIseRiNGxx]

sounds great!

[ShmuckgotOwned]

Sped up a little ? whatever it was still amazing.

[pioglfr2]

maybe they sped it up, but i didn't. i am glad you enjoyed it.

[sarathanrecords]

hehe. It's a polite age. That's fine by me, but at the same time it is sad to see people afraid to let loose.

Anyway, I work at a label (you don't say??) and we're giving a free song to Alkaline Trio fans. Check it out if you're interested: sarathan [dot] com/free/wartapes/

[theblackparade44]

i think people should understand that not everyone is gonna want to be pushes around so much when they've gone to a gig to watch a band they love, not to end up breaking a bone. some people at gigs are just careless to that and act so stupidly. i enjoyc circle pits and jumping around and that. but there's a point to where it becomes to much and can be a real annoyance.

[punkskabassist87]

i agree completely...nothing ruins a show more than idiots who take pushing and shoving too far

[Drouse1986]

I agree with what happened to the old days! I was in Portland this summer and saw Alk3 and American steel. The crowd was the same. i tried to start a pit and people were apologizing to me when I pushed them. sad.

[30secondstolive]

ROFL!

[foreverhim]

fucking brilliant. such a gd video too, sometimes its hard to listen to live tracks coz they're recorded so badly!

[faerybaby]

i'm gonna see them live in november !! (hehe) but they sound hella good here for bein live.

[frcfed]

Zombies.

[badasschick]

what a great crowd!!!!

what happen to the good old days! jumping,screaming,beating the shit out of each other be be closer to the bands!

[emorocker28]

they came sept 28 for a concert in tucson the crowd went crazy mosh pits everywere

[ben45720]

yeah, the crowd needs to fucking wake up

[SHARKVIOLET]

More good shit from ALK3... Excellence...

[wiskin88]

this is an amazing song. haha matt speeds up so much in this live version, i can just sense derek getting pissed but maybe use to it. ALK3 is the best band!!!

[mongolia1]

i think it was derek the one who put the song at 1000 miles an hour, cuz skiba was doing good before the drums came in. but they still rock!! ALK34ever

[wiskin88]

well at least we agree that alk3 is an amazing band. check out my cover of this song, its a video response.

[mongolia1]

dude ur cover is awesome.

id like to see u do i found away

[misfit72492]

exactly. the bass drum sets how fast the band plays. and matt also tunes down his guitar to hit those notes. listen to this then the album

[bkbthegreat1]

great band crowd sucks my cock tho

[ZakRoM]

wtf with that crowd??

[Friedclamz]

You know, I think Matt could be more ..hmm...

ENTHUSIASTIC!!!

I still love Alkaline Trio though!!!

[noobtube225]

lol that guy infront when he puts his hands on his head, he looks like he's just gone OMG NEW SONG, WTFBBQ?, but yea, they do rock and i love the new album, this song is one of my favs :P

[hollybooty23]

okay, that crowd just bit. Do they realize that they are at a concert? Dirks.

[allendown]

the crowd sux

come on they seem to be falling asleep

if i was there i would be jumping till the end of the show

[AlkalineTrioFan]

yeah ur right i would have been the one who started the mosh pit!! good quality though!!!!

[punkskabassist87]

you know, I've been to a lot of shows, and eveyr time I go I like seeing bands live less and less because of the idiots in the crowd...there's no need for that nonsense

[lostinacrowdx12]

ok so you hate moshing then stop going to the concerts and there is a reason for it its call fun

[AlkalineTrioFan]

i agree i wouldnt be violent i would have just had a good time the last time i was in a mosh pit i got punched and i wasnt even really in it i just pushed a guy!!

[a04p]

love how the guy named punkbassist doesnt like mosh pits...

[lifedrinker]

sounds great. cannot wait to see these guys live again when they tour the new album.

[DownedStar]

his voice is so dead on to the recording. He's a great singer.

[oliviaakaspazmoid]

fucking love this song!!!! lol that dude at the front totally got the whol crowd going!! xx

[Nickdude6]

Wow. they have gotten realllllly good live.

very impressed.

very..

[greidy93]

nice!

[calcuddle]

they are really good live!!

there new cd is really good!

[VaZZim]

shut up

[whitedwarf05]

haha. they are playing way faster once derek comes in from when matt starts the song.

[holywrench]

this was at the couch tour

[SethGrandpa]

Man the audio quality of this rocks so hard.  One of the two good songs on the album. The acoustic versions on the deluxe edition are good though, it's just kind of upsetting that most of the songs on the album would be better acoustic.

[michiganfootballjoe]

they are amazing live!

[TheMedium79]

holy shit, what a "crowd" it remins me of  the crowd from a german show called the dome.

[Randomd00d123]

This really is just like their old stuff... and dont call me stupid cuz I've listened to these guys for years and have a ton of their songs... how is this any different from Sadie? or All on Black?

[SethGrandpa]

Completely different lyrics, chord progression, tone, and really, sound...oh and claps! But I guess other then that they're EXACTLY the same.

[watchurneck]

u do realize that sadie is about one of manson family members and is totaly different then this one. they sound somewhat similar but different enough to be to completely seprate songs. they also have a different feel to them so stop over analyzing stuff and just enjoy the music.

[aerosmith4lyfe]

and what the hell is up with these guys in the audience. they fucking suck. your at an alkaline trio concert, FUCKING LIKE IT! "i'm at an alkaline trio concert, i'm not gonna do shit but bob my head ever once in a while. FUCK YOU!!! :D haha. i love alkaline trio. this song is great. Keep it coming guys.

[rawerftw]

Tons of people come to shows to hear the music you know. not jump around like dumbf'cks all the time and miss most of the show.

I would def. sing along tho :P

[aerosmith4lyfe]

WOW. this is really good quality video. i thought it was gonna suck at first cuz live videos normally sound like shit but yea about alkaline trio. alkaline trio are arguably my favorite band ever and for people who say "Oh I like them better when they are unknown" well that may be true but maybe they dont want to be underground anymore. You should just support them in whatever they do. They are fantastic musicians and song writers. and if your a true fan youll support them. ALKALINE TRIO ROCKS!!

[Domebuddy]

i agree some people are asses who only dislike them because they are gaining slight popularity, but there are some that are actually disapointed with the newer stuff, and they decide not to blindly follow someone cause they have been fans for years, I personally like the new album, im just saying on the behalf of the others

[DMSfilms]

did he say "for the lakai team?"

[blink182powns]

hells yes!

[HXCmikey22]

the trio will always be the best band no matter what even if they are on mtv. besides they deserve to be well known even though its better if they would remain semi underground

[alkalinetrio14]

bloody awesome song and well played.

[rsenk326]

They are so good no matter what they play. Their talent is amazing and their vocals are awesome. If they go mainstream or not their still great and still one of the best punk rock bands. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM IN ILLINOIS!!!!

[lobzunpreston]

It bugs me when people are like OMG THE TRIO HAD A SONG ON THE RADIO THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS SOOOOOOO DIFFERENT FROM THEIR OLDER STUFF I WISH THEY WOULD MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM LIKE THEIR OLDER ONES!

If you say that don't go about thinking your their number 1 fan.. You guys should learn to respect their decisions and not try to influence them.

Anyways great song I can't wait for the album and possibly see them in Ohio

[WheelsakaSpeedy]

shut up

[lobzunpreston]

Make me bitch you know im right anyways

[WheelsakaSpeedy]

shhh

[keybladeguy776]

I saw them last night at Toad's Place, they played this but I didn't know what song it was at the time. But now I know so yay! I like it a lot :D

[SparetheJesters]

im loving the new album!!! great new sound for the trio! and well id like to see them go more mainstream, they deserve it, great band!!!

[cjdidonatofma]

I agree I usually hate when bands do that but this band is to great to be kept only by punk rock fans.

[mircea7t]

i love they're new album... i rly don't care if they go mainstream or not, i'll still love them

[spiffcorgi]

wow. down half a step.

[Nikko92]

just curious,what was the full set? i'm seeing em in NYC on july 12th and im curious as to what they've been playin.

[pioglfr2]

they played 3 other songs other than the 9 i've uploaded, one was armageddon, the other two i don't know the names of. keep in mind this was a free show, though, and if you see them in july their new album will have been released by then...

[feenixed]

when i saw them a few days ago they also played in vein, armageddon, help me, goodbye forever, radio, we've had enough, another innocent girl, crawl and a few others

[russtundra]

dude I would go gay for Matt!

[boomcity312]

these men are truly gods.

[th3fl0w]

BACK TO THE OLD TRIO!!

[Sparra33]

why is nobody moving?!

I love this song..

[th3fl0w]

im guessing because they dont know it!

but...

I WOULD BE =D

[Drumr115]

Ha at 5 seconds in you can hear skiba get his tune before he starts singing

[IndiePolak]

Haha, yeah thats hilarious, I never noticed it before.

[th3fl0w]

true true!

what i guy!

[Mattdgren]

nice catch dude.

[oldsklreazons]

why is everyone standing round like zombies

[ZoneSevenZZ]

oh man this song is addictive i can't stop listening to it.

[drumstx06]

This song makes my bathing suit area feel good...

Hahaha I love this. Sounds so good.

[infectedmonkeys89]

i gotta say this song has flavor

:]

[Lachlann117]

Cool song. Great band.

[tamtothepon]

GOD!!! Im gonna commit suicide before july 1st I swear it!

[IndiePolak]

Man, they sound so damn good. Thanks for the vids! Wish Trio would come to Canada.

[NYBkicksYOURass]

I love Goddamnit! I love their new music also. My personal favorite was good mourning. They have progressed so much in their sound quality and lyrics. I really dig their darkened lyrics. They are a very, very talented band. They are now, and they were back 10 years ago. In my opinion, they did not sell out. They can't very well sing about getting dumped anymore when they are all married. Their dark songs hold great meaning if you can figure it out. Peace.

[TreCoolFan4Eva]

OMFG!!!!!! I love this song!!! it was pretty much on the blood pact and i friggin loved it. the studio version is friggin amazing!!! i cant wait until i get agony and irony. hahahahah!!!

[felixmate]

you dont get many videos taken from the croud with this quality

nice one

[pioglfr2]

thanks a lot. hope you enjoy all the videos.

[jdefoe13]

STANDARD POP RADIO FRIENDLY SHIT

[ShortstopFromTokyo]

jdefoe13, let me guess...

you don't like the new Trio album because it "doesn't sound anything like their old stuff"

EX-FUCKING-ACTLY!! If every album sounded like Goddamnit!, I wouldn't like this band at all...it'd be boring.

None of their albums sound like the one before it, and that's the beauty of this band. This new album is going to rock, and I'm sorry you're too close-minded to appreciate a great album by a great band.

[noseovertail711]

Okay. Buy an album you like, instead. Everybody wins.

[jorinaapje]

Nice footy:D

[dmon715]

OMG THAT SICK

[dielon63]

it sounds great

[pioglfr2]

Thanks, I'm pretty surprised at how well it came out, too. I just used my digital camera.

[spiffcorgi]

wow matt is on fire!

[pioglfr2]

it was a pretty good concert, and it was free!
