Trivium - a gunshot to the head... Live Rock Am Ring 2006

[Amorfischo]

Travis needs a metronome! It's a good thing these guys can shred :D

[Blackwinged131]

Am I the only one to like the Hetfield-style vocals in this song? I mean, original singing was good, but this is actually pretty badass. Heafy really can sing and so he does on this show)

[pilinasse]

Amazing crowd!

[karpczonisko]

This song is better live than studio version.

[13thNemesis]

I wish he would sing this song the old way... it sounded better in my opinion...

[sparda073]

@13thNemesis He's screamin it now, he used to sing it that way because he broke his vocals.. i saw them live yesterday and it was fuckin awesome ! No gay singin :p

[HardTaiLHillbillies]

137 people think they are to cool to jump.

[stefanos6th]

man i love thsi song i love this band band really i hate those vocal lines i prefere the original ones -.-

[timothydfrank1991]

this band is so much better than metallica live

[astraopc1988]

@timothydfrank1991

well, they are live pretty good, I agree. but i think a comparison between a metalcore band in their twenties and the most successful heavy / thrash metal band existing for 30 years is pretty dumb.

[ScarecrowFanboy]

Drummer was too cool to jump

[mrnobodyouknow]

@billthegeek33 But that made future records better anyway, the fact that he could sing wells and in different ways too made Matts vocal tracks Shogun, and i hope In Waves, better. And The Crusade was a pretty good metal record anyway, it was just a different style, and Matt was having trouble screaming at that point anyway.

[NJdarkstar]

136 people were too cool to jump

[dan08lion]

they are real pure heavy metal !!  YES !!

[alonan100]

Fucking shit...Matt Heafy in this LIVE concert was just 20 years old....and he acts like he knows the scene some kind of 20-30 years....o.O...

[1ajmoline1]

well imo there old shit is astounding.. and they have lost their touch with the new stuff :(

[JovianMeissner]

Hahaha the opening band is better than the headlining one.

[mrBFMV887]

most amazing band i have ever seen <3

[sandman4asleep]

vocals extremely suck

[MSHS420]

@sandman4asleep fuck you.

[sandman4asleep]

[lebdawg9]

[ibanez33150]

FUCK METALLICA

[BFMVisMETAL11]

Cant wait to see these guys at Mayhem this summer

[6metallica6fan6]

@BFMVisMETAL11 wish i could fucking go, but boss says i cant take off work :( FML lol

[niicolaamor1121]

the screamed version is better

[MegaBarger]

wow he shouldnt have "sang" this song, it sounds retarded ha

[wuzreeelytho]

what the fuck kind of fucking gay vocals is this shit? the recorded version actually sounded good

[punkrockpax]

@wuzreeelytho yes i agreed with you ... but as you know he suck metallica as a girl sucks a dick

[wrestleman64]

@wuzreeelytho

watch the live version form ozzfest 05 its way better than this shit

[Thapogge]

@wuzreeelytho This is during 2006 when they released The Crusade matt wanted to be more Thrash metal instead of Metalcore, but hey go listen to new live shows where he actually growls/screams again. This video is old.

[TheKillerJok]

@wuzreeelytho The band was inspired in metallica, he is singing James Hetfield's style.

this is not gay vocals, u are a fucking gay fan -_-

[wuzreeelytho]

@TheKillerJok i never said he was not inspired by metallica. I said the vocals are shit.

[TheKillerJok]

@wuzreeelytho u didnt understand my comment at all did u

[wuzreeelytho]

@TheKillerJok re-read what i wrote to you faggot. The vocals are supposed to sound like metallica, but instead they sound like total shit. Got it dumbshit?

[TheKillerJok]

@wuzreeelytho the vocals arent  shit, he did great imo

[alexandre47510]

i love the pogo

[breeny23]

the break down with the sick riff is amazing

[nick58069]

horrible stage presence

[RoadTunnerLover]

NO SCREAMS :O

[XGytis]

Dunno why.. remembers me of metallica ;o

[FloatingFireworks]

nice crowd nice performance

[0kill13]

Not a fan of metalcore but this band is practically amazing. Wish they were more thrash less metalcore IMO

[punkrockpax]

@0kill13 i wish they were like before

[punkndpunked]

@0kill13 if u tried to spell emo you epicly failed mate.

[Bludhoundz8]

@punkndpunked Err... IMO stands for "In My Opinion" =p

[andreas7ax]

@0kill13 they are.... if you listen to "askin alexandria" or "devil wears prada" then you will understand what metalcore is...

[panteraslipknot200]

@0kill13 They're modernized thrash imo.

[TriviumAscendancy1]

@0kill13 Listen to the Crusade album, thats more thrash :)

[gazbg123]

I swear to god if they play this at wacken in august i'm gonna jump so hard it's gonna cause earthquakes all round the world!!!

Fuckin awesome song :D

[paintball31]

What a dick for wearing his own band's shirt.

[Guitarded270]

@paintball31 So Iron Maiden are dicks too because they wear their own shirts?

[paintball31]

@Guitarded270 Yes.

[cmc47834]

@paintball31 maybe because hes uk.. touring he has to wear his own band clothes

[santasgotaminigun]

a cumshot in the bed of penitration TRIVIUM FTW!!!!!

[conflicted02]

is that a dimebig guitar or just matts signiture version???

[Fishyguitar22]

@conflicted02 its a dime version i think. you can see him using it in alot of other videos like anthem and to the rats.

[Gambit7Beyond]

@conflicted02 its a dime, the matt signature is the one of white and red.

[kjf2able]

Everyone is talking about his voice but no ones said shit about his guitar playing. Its actually harder to SING and play guitar.

[poplepo3]

@kjf2able i agree so much i can play there songs and scream because honestly you dont have to be as awear when you scream its just chosing intensity when i try to sing it to oh lord i lose timeing in either my guitar riffing or singing and my pitch gets insanely hard to controll and i lose out in the end it takes alot of talent and practise to learn to do both

[HeavyMetalHendrix]

Whether Matt is screaming or not his guitar skills are fucking godly ! btw Look at Matt today! that fucker is doin Thrash vox, clean vox, and Scream vox, that fucker is a beast!! xD

[gibsondanny]

@HeavyMetalHendrix For a guy who claims he cant sing... matt heafy can fucking sing

[HeavyMetalHendrix]

@gibsondanny fuck yeah he can fucking sing!!

[poplepo3]

@HeavyMetalHendrix actually the band wanted to try something because they said the band was origenally supposed to be almost as a tribute to the bands they listened to growing up but at the time matts voice could support full thrash style vocals for long songs so he picked up screaming after it strenghed enough to do it they decided to go ahead and try it out for an album since that was the original plan aftr that they decided to make shogun a mix of all the stuff they felt they have done right

[poplepo3]

@HeavyMetalHendrix in there career as sorta there ultimate album and it turned out to be the best theyve done i wanna see them top it next one its gonna be hard though

[xxxdimeisgodxxx]

@poplepo3 their new album is gonna bve intense i cant wait

[poplepo3]

@xxxdimeisgodxxx haha hell yes man and as reports have it it should be ready in the next few months

[terainwer]

screaming sucks YOU GOT THAT YOU GAY ASS EMO

[Luciole2831]

@terainwer Then why the HELL ARE YOU LISTENING TO TRIVIUM FAG! Screams arn't even emo you dumb fuck!

[LTDv50]

@RapaciousPlague dude that shit puts a sick ass strain on your voice no matter who you are! have you heared cannibal corpse's old shit and then the newer stuff? look it up even corpse grinder toned it down, its not that theyre "too cool" to do anything its the fact that they're fuckin human so shut the fuck up and enjoy the damn music

[SD3255]

At this point in Trivium's career, Matt didn't like screaming cause he said it hurt his voice a lot. Thats why on their Crusade album, there is virtually no screaming.

[mrloner666]

@SD3255 actually its because they wanted to try something new because none of the band members like that type of music, so they tryed it out, then went back

[wheredarknessislight]

@SD3255 Proof of your statement is found in the 'Making of Shogun' DVD included with the deluxe edition.

He says, while recording vocals, something to the effect of he 'used to fuck up' his throat real bad when he would scream for hours, and months, without end, so he backed off. Thought I'd share that with those who didn't know.

And to the people who think they didn't like that kind of music: Why is Corey and Paolo doing screams throughout this song then?

[SD3255]

@wheredarknessislight I thought Corey only screamed? And they probably didn't feel the strain of the vocals since they only sang during live shows (up until their song "Shattering the Skies Above". During the making of video, Matt explains that he had to sing EVERY vocal part for all songs prior.)

[Autopsium]

Why is Matt lacking of good vocals on stage? Is it because he's too young and his vocal chords still in development? or does he concentrate more on the guitars? The gui/voc guys can understand what i mean.

I ask this not for making fun of them but i'm curious. I like Trivium.

[ducky36F]

I like these vocals... Screw the metalcore generic scream/sing thing, the aggressive vocals the whole way through is way more metal... I do like the range heafe uses on shogun but though so ehh

[CANE179]

this is aa fucking band ,woow i love them

[Cirqu3]

fuck you matt..your voice sucks so hard..and its flat..you dont deserve to be up there,just dissapointing your fans,what a fucking shame...

[bodmetal4ever62484]

These guys are insane. I love them!

[zach7000]

@bodmetal4ever62484 your black

[wowgunni]

i love how matt sings on the album but live he kind of sucks... :(

[2meanings]

I actually love his aggressive vocals

[heelfan88]

Those vocals blow so hard.  This was a tough time to be a Trivium fan. Thank god I stayed with them.

[acmaddc]

Matt's scream, sorry Matt's roar lately has been fucking killer. And I think why he's not screaming in this is cause 1 he fucked up his voice and 2 he wanted to get away from screaming in the Crusade. Fuck that shit thou, Trivium screaming is the only way to go!

[triviumfan141]

he didnt scream cause he fucked his voice up :P

[xxSami95xx]

@triviumfan141

that sucks i love his scream

[SynysterRev7X]

Sometimes Matt's singing instead of screaming sounds alright. The only thing I don't like about it is when he sings Pull Harder (Which is one of their best songs) and the fact that sometimes the singing is EXTREMELY monotone.

[kjf2able]

i love it when it cuts to a shot of the crowd and you see the guy in the pooh costume

[RhoadsFan9]

ahahaa, matts voice was there at the start, left, then comes back just intime for that shogun tour, better be there on the new albums tour...

[Kizamime]

Hyperspeed!

[dashton429]

i think this was the time when he blew out his vocals, it also can be that he wants to make it more clear and thrashy for MEtallica but i thought the samething because beginning of the song he screams and when i see him live it was like this. Still great band though

[Luuk1h]

Atleast Corey did an awesome scream job all time long

[johnny2demax]

Jomping off your focking feet. =WHAT A HUGE DOUCHER.

[HammersmashedTaco]

@johnny2demax >.>

[feret1993]

TRIVIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MetaITV]

This would actually sound cool if metallic did this in the ajfa era

[rafal89000]

matt knows how to run teh party ;f

[happybirthdayhomie]

117 people deserve a gunshot to the head

[araym51]

@happybirthdayhomie FUCK YEAH THEY DO!

[b4con94]

they dropped the screaming for a thrashy sound during this era over a more 'metalcore' approach.

[DONTCKLICKMYNAME]

They played the song faster, like most metal bands do. But they played way to fast.

[stevedeguzman]

Why matt heafy does not screaming in this song?

[footluke]

@stevedeguzman he lost his voice from screaming :S

[Behemoth2334]

Dude I'm surprised that there wasn't an Earthquake with all that jumping.

[pivetlord13]

Wearing his own bands shirt!? Wow... Self centered

[urielx17]

@pivetlord13

theres nothing wrong with that dude

[maluuntheboon]

@pivetlord13 a lot of bands do that..

[b4con94]

@pivetlord13

Maiden where there own t shirts, as do megadeth and they are legendary metal bands.

[joshkasper]

im glad this non-screaming phase is over. if it wasnt for shogun, i wouldve given up hope for trivium. TRIVIUM FOR LIFE \m/

[TraviSixShot]

Come on stop dissing Metallica. Yes new shit sucks. Without Metallica No Trivium so relax lol

[simpleben09]

Somebody needed a booster for the solo....

[lumixcamfan]

this song is verry cool !

[GNRslash28]

I would give almost anything to be at a concert with Trivium and Metallica.

[josephgarza81]

"I'm going to sound cool and say FCUK a whole bunch"

"Man these guys think we suck (cause we do) so lets say Metallica and get them pumped- and say FCUK some more"

[brandoyopie]

@josephgarza81 shut your mouth dude if you dont like trivium then why did you come to listen to them go back to whatever the hell you listen to

[METALismyLIFE910]

HAHAHA The reason were fucking here.....METALLICA!!! That wasnt fucking loud enough! i said, METALLICA!!! FUCK.YES.

[mouffette000]

I think since James Hettfield was there, Matt Heafy wanted to sing like it. Or was just tired.

[CowboyFan69X]

@mouffette000 he sang that song like that during the tour for the crusades.

[Colton527]

You guys need to shut the fuck up and watch the damn video, stop complaining about the vocals and the fact that he chooses not to scream all the time, TRivium fkin rocks! I love all there albums... Cause...well I guess Im a TRUE fan. Trivium is the new Metallica

[brandoyopie]

@Colton527 yeah metallica coming back and making this new shit that sucks is ruining their reputation god i hope that never happens to trivium

[COBHC694]

@Colton527 eh theyre 10 times better than metallica ever was all james hetfield does is power chords and harmonies that arent all that challenging

[Colton527]

@COBHC694 Good to see someone who agrees with me, cant wait for there new album

[CowboyFan69X]

@COBHC694 because hes the fucking rythm guitarist dumbass

[COBHC694]

@CowboyFan69X i know he i but his rythms aren't challenging at all maybe if he was a decent rythm player i would have more respect for him

[BushidoChromhido]

@COBHC694 Dude.. Trivium does not compare to Metallica. If Metallica didnt go into the music industry who knows what metal let alone rock would sound today. Triviums influences are metallica fool. James can play guitar a lot better than these fools, and drum as well.

[TheWardogNZ]

@BushidoChromhido i dont know about drums, but u ahve to give these guys credit, i mean matt was a kid during triviums years and he was very good at guitar, and still is, but comparing metal bands imo is pathetic because nNO ONE is the same, comparing is ok if its a personal opinion, for EG i think metallia is better than megadeath, idk why i just like there sound better, its a fair comment

[BushidoChromhido]

@TheWardogNZ I do like Trivium, they are good. But you cant compare two bands when one band was before the other bands time. Like you said I think like metallica better than megadeth. And they are around the same time of each other.

[TheWardogNZ]

@BushidoChromhido yeah i understand where your at bro, we are agreeing on similar things :D , i agree, comparing bands from different times aand genres for a fact, isnt really gonna work out, BUT if its "favourite wise" thats ok to compare then.

I just hate all these F A G S that dont respect bands these days, like AIrbourne, some people hate em cuz they sound like AC/DC, wats wrong with that ay? Its not like you get to choose ur singing voice right..?

[BushidoChromhido]

@TheWardogNZ If they sound like AC/DC than they should be hating. AC/DC is a legendary band. And Yeah, I know, I am born with a natural deep voice and I cant sound like a alto or anything.

[TheWardogNZ]

@BushidoChromhido why should they hate? just because 1 band sounds similar to another dosent mean they should be hated, i doubt most if the haters cant even play an instrument well or sing. + most metalcore n shit bands these days all sound similar along with alot of 80s thrash and death metal bands, should of them be hated too?

[User00Random]

No one is to fucking cool to jump well said

[eriatarka45]

his voice remembers me the young James Hetfield...

[SixxHundredSixtySixx]

METAAALLIIICAAAAAAAAAAA <3333333

[retroAZN]

OOOMFFGGG MATT PLZZZZZ STOP SINGING THIS SHIT! WTF HPPND TO UR VOICE!?...ever since the crusade they sound waaaaay to much like metallica :*(

[legon85]

@retroAZN but shogun redeemed the crusade.

[FyNFyN2009]

Tired of the james hetfield'ish vocals fucking ruined this entire set, sing it like your own tone not in the style of someone else

[thompson8305]

this doesn't sound good at all. why is james hetfield singing. hahhah. needs to scream for such a song.

[Randyrhoads4lyfe]

I fucking love metallica

[1GaZa6]

this sounds horrible the vocals have gone to complete shits wheres the power in his voice it just sounds like he cant be assed to try :(

[CR4ZYN1NJA]

@RapaciousPlague lmfao - didnt know that !!!! haha

[liamthedrumma22]

he should sing it normally

[metalguitarist94]

damn if he's gunna sing the screamy parts, he should at least sing the singing parts well

[thevirum]

@RapaciousPlague They actually formed in 1999, I remember Matt talking about it in an interview

[NukeTheCrossXPT700]

@RapaciousPlague I was talking about when they released Ember To Inferno

[stephenmustaine]

the guitars sound shit

[NukeTheCrossXPT700]

@RapaciousPlague He was 17 when he started..

[Etandoman64]

matts singing retardedly

[motherfuckingeddon]

why is he singing like an idiot???

[NukeTheCrossXPT700]

@RapaciousPlague it's when he decided to try the cleaner vocals because he couldn't do them when he was younger. His voice would crack.

[BushidoChromhido]

this video reminds me of the metallica performance at moscow

[1993clb]

i seen these guys on the family values tour with korn and they kicked ass!!!

[painredifined01]

Trivium kicks ass regardless!!!

[DrewFarmie2]

i prefer heafy's voice like this than to screaming

[beer4life101]

fuck you this isnt what trivium are about why do you think they went back to the fist clenching vocal style again

[DrewFarmie2]

im sorry for having an opinion

[BuryYourWeakness]

CHECK OUR NEW EP!

//BURY YOUR WEAKNESS

[RocknRoll7425]

I like all music more without screaming I se it as a good thing. What would Metallica be if they would be screaming??? Well not as good as they are without screaming

[MrBigcheeseyliam]

Heafys vocals in shogun are by far the best. i like a bit of screamin but u can appreciate lyrics more

[JIMKUltra]

I could be a sheeple and bash 'em, but I can't even pogo and play guitar at the same time.

[Extrem3Ownag3]

meh, no screamo;(

[skypass4671]

@Extrem3Ownag3

me too

[AgustinJR24]

No fuck no fuck Metallica!!! >=/

[blowinthedro]

trueee!

[luisbart]

he had a bad voice!, in the past his voice was incredible
