The Prize Fighter Inferno - "Who Watches The Watchmen?"

[LOLOMFGROFLCOPTER]

So it seems we can all agree he IS in fact god? alright meeting adjourned. back to awesome music

[xMallNinjax1]

Good idea waking up to this song

[renijohn012270]

Did someone sling-shot Claudio's chin with a rock?

[TheElephant2009]

@GuitarKylePlays cuz shovels are for pussies

[GuitarKylePlays]

Why did they need to dig the grave with their hands?

[MrKingvanilla83]

I wish Claudio was in the amish group that live near me :(

[TriNineProductions]

I'm pretty sure I listened to this song 143,610 times. Yeah, sounds about right. :) <3

[Anarchick1319]

If anyone argues that Claudio isnt god...just remember...He undeniably created a universe :)

[truenorth28]

The difference between Claudio Sanchez and God?  Claudio Sanchez doesn't wish he was god.

[TheElephant2009]

Pure amazing! Better when Coheed plays it since they use actual drums and what not but amazing none the less

[loxodontafetation]

is he building the cabin from evil dead?!!!

[MrGiantcheese]

@loxodontafetation well the boomstick line is on at the start of the acoustic demo of junesong provision , so it wouldn't surprise me if it was the cabin

[loxodontafetation]

@MrGiantcheese haha yea

so cool that they show their respect to those movies

love bruce campbell

[spedfredHEAD]

I kissed his cheek when I was 16 .. I'm 20 now. .____.

I wonder if he still members.. the pic i have of me doin it is soo fuckin funny XD

AMORY WARS <3 to tell you the truth no one will ever know how many times Claudio Sanchez and Coheed & Cambria have helped me better then a doctor could <3

[cambria271]

@spedfredHEAD Totally agreed. Claudio's words have helped me through more than anyone ever could have. (Also have met him twice. Best person ever.)

[xXg0d0fWarXx]

@spedfredHEAD shit... O__O

i bet he does... God never forgets :D

[SpaceNinja105]

If you deny Claudio in front of his fans, he will deny you in front of his music. Claudio = God.

[tragicheroes28]

FOR THE FANS OF COHEED AND CAMBRIA..

[stiffrick1]

I want a brand new Claudio Sanchez's coffin for my funeral. I would be so happy!

[Psycodiablo1220]

@stiffrick1 No, you'd be dead...

[xSeattlantis]

I don't like having crappy metalcore bands in the related videos to this. Equal Vision, I am disappoint.

[xXg0d0fWarXx]

...and i wonder... who the fuck wouldn't arrive... i mean... is Claudio!! D:

stupid bitch... she never came....!

[Mattmoo36]

Finally this is back on Youtube!

[NaxAttack]

I met Claudio last summer. It was all I could do not to keel over, and harder still, screaming out "I'm not worthy, Master! Please, let me bask in the full glory of you and your hair!" XD

[floydian1023]

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? :D

[Destructopancake]

I dance in socks and underwear on hardwood floors to this song.

[NefariousNarcissist7]

@Destructopancake LOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

[NewoKilgannon]

I'm rather confused about this video, Then again I am about most of the videos any of Claudio's bands do... Even most of the Coheed videos have NOTHING to do with the song... Or are just weird in general >_>' But... Claudio does little pretty hot in that damn suit...

[nhf1CoCa]

@NewoKilgannon they are pretty confusing, but the whole concept and story reminds me of the Fallout video games. If Claudio's comics were made into a film, it would be fantastic, and I'd definetly buy the video game if they made one!!

[xXxNoxInvictusxXx]

Claud should go with the suit more often.

[ZeldawonderLinklover]

sstb accustic....OMG you have no idea i almost died!!! <3 u claudio

[MrAlmondsss]

@ZeldawonderLinklover i was there!!

[ZeldawonderLinklover]

@MrAlmondsss did it not give you goose bumps i was so stoked

[MrAlmondsss]

@MrAlmondsss yeah, it was freaking amazing!! sstb was the best concert ive been to yet.

[gbpackersfan42]

@ZeldawonderLinklover I know right! I downloaded the Dallas SSTB show, and I can't stop listening to this song from that show.

[cotimeconsumer]

I'm in this video.

[xXxNoxInvictusxXx]

@cotimeconsumer PROOF.

[CatsVSHumanity]

Claudio in the white tux should be on the cover of a romance novel.

[buzzle235464765]

So two Claudios walk into a bar...

And the bar explodes, or well it's what should happen.

[Yoshi011210]

There is no doubting in the fact that Claudio Paul Sanchez is God.

[piecesofdoll]

He doesn't well wearing white

[smashcityplastic]

i hugged this guy, he's like a giant lovely teddy bear i just wanna take him home and marry him so i can die happy

[oskchava91]

If I ran into Claudio in a white suit the only thing I could say is ''Are you God?''

[OurDarkGoldenHero]

@oskchava91 I'd faint and my brain would run up to him, turn into a cat, and rub against his leg.

[ZweiDan1121]

they say if you get smacked across the face by claudio's hair, your heart stops beating.

[bloodyroadahead]

mmh, the guy who shut the coffin looked a bit like mic, but maybe that's just me.

[superman12211331]

Broke my nose as a Coheed show back in march or april. Great freakin show ; )

[dofo2121]

wow 18 people dont know real music : /

[valhalla678]

Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible with legit comments.

[bloodyroadahead]

@valhalla678 haha, you told me about the comment, but not where, I just found it. Wow, that's great.

[valhalla678]

@bloodyroadahead yeah i posted it twice i think, i did on this vid, then for some reason it didnt show up so i posted it one once upon your dead body, then the next day it showed up here.

[TheRimDoctor]

Is it fair to say the best part of the song is the medley between the keyboard and piano at the beginning?

The best part, with the exception of the entire song, that is. c:

[metalmaniac243]

I'm not completely understanding the concept to this album I basically know its Jesse AKA Prize Fighter Inferno talking about the Blood Machine but I dont get how most of these lyrics make sense with Cecilia running away from home and being adopted by cult freaks who worship some strange sort of god.

I guess I know the story but the lyrics dont seem to make much sense with the story.

[johndrummerman]

@metalmaniac243 its an alternate reality after inferno died in the armory wars

[metalmaniac243]

@johndrummerman So your saying its basically Jesse's afterlife?

[johndrummerman]

@metalmaniac243 pretty much. claudio said in an interview he just wanted to keep the inferno character alive.

[HitmanJake2113]

@johndrummerman but isn't it also current day, as opposed to the Amory Wars' setting of the "near future", technically saying he was incarnated back in time?? or am i fucking things up here? haha

[bransdel]

And you wanted to be a drummer? Not criticizing by any means.

[DanielzGirl210]

love Claudio :)

[Dopeyjr33]

if you see how he acts in interviews he personally dosent belive hes really that good XD he just does what he does which inour opinions is being agod of music (: <3

[Dopeyjr33]

and he loves ever second of it!!! :D

[bmacorama]

this is awesome, but is it just me or does claudio sound like he has like' a stuffy nose or something....

[OSOelCHINGON]

damn. C&C is awesome enough. this song is awesome... everything Claudio does is pure gold.

[ganja420pothead]

Claudio Sanchez is a god. Forever will I support him and everything he does, he deserves it fully after making this song, best on the album in my opinion.

[Wings1307]

This was the last song I listened to in 2009.

And just for good measure it was the first one I heard in 2010.

<3

[thnksf0rthmmrs]

thats the first time i've seen claudio clean-shaven lol

[josedrake33]

he is the best a one man show big influence i sing like him

[lucasonaboat]

Probably my favorite of all Coheed/Claudio's music videos. I just love the feel and theme.

[xxlutaxx]

I dont base my singing off him cause I find you should have your own voice but he is a huge influence. i think i like him more cause he reminds me of my style in a way always lookin for the more dificult note love coheed cant wait for black rainbow

[hebablo]

Claudio IS The One Man Band That I Imagine! He Is My Idol And I Base My Singing Off Of Him! Anyone Else?

[fattyl1992]

claudio sanchez is a genius

[Jayson11700]

wow didnt know he had a side project lol

[Specter074]

I like how Claudio is this big hairy bearded guy with a voice that you would not expect to come from him, and a very talented musician.

[killerd55]

Wow, does the word LAME ever come up with anything Claudio Sanchez does?

[kittenmow]

@killerd55 I mean.... I could see why you might feel that way...but in context with this album....it makes perfect sense. There is almost a satirical feel to it.

[badnamemakers05]

I meant to like your status sorry

[badnamemakers05]

Never, he is just a genius.

[kittenmow]

I re-read your comment....and I'm sorry, I misread it. LOL!! I thought you said why DOESN'T the word LAME come up....Yeah, no he's never lame. He is just himself and that is awesome. I love it!

[azgalor12345]

hey could you give me download link for this song plz plz plz!!!really like....tnx

[3II4life]

yea azgalor,its called limewire :)

[azgalor12345]

[kawsomesweet]

[kawsomesweet]

yah sorry man (or woman) so what time was it in your timezone anyway?

[bbbysalas]

@smashcityplastic

lolz

[Hiddenronin]

If you like the song support the band and by the album.

"My Brother Blood Machine, The Prize Fighter Inferno"

[SchwartzO5]

A friend of mine told me this song is when Cecilia McCloud is being taken to the blood machine..idk for sure, seems to fit.

[KillLarryDead]

It's not referring to the Watchmen comic. It's referring to:

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal, which literally translates to "Who will guard the guards themselves?", and is variously translated in colloquial English as "Who watches the watchmen?", "Who watches the watchers?", "Who will guard the guardians?", "Who shall watch the watchers?", "Who polices the police?" or other similar translations."

[0XiiG3n]

Oh, My Bad, i assumed "Who Watches The Watchmen?" was the quote from Watchmen because, The Armory Wars is Sci-Fi and Watchmen is also Sci-Fi, however you could be correct, i wouldn't know i ASSUME.

Also i've read the Amory wars, so I just used Logic to answer your question.......

[HimMa14]

but claud is a total fan of Watchmen, so it's probably quite related...

[Prologue2113]

@KillLarryDead how the hell did you know this? props.

[NefariousNarcissist7]

@Prologue2113 It's fucking obvious bro...

[Prologue2113]

@NefariousNarcissist7 Woah, dude. Chill. I have no idea where all of that came from, but it was cool.

[Brandonrobocop]

@KillLarryDead Like who eats the eaters?

[Mattmoo36]

@KillLarryDead It actually is an obvious reference to The Watchmen, one of the comics that inspired The Amory Wars. However, it's not about The Watchmen lyrically. The title fits the lyrics for the same reasons you said it does.

[0XiiG3n]

its from Watchmen By Alan Moore, Wikipedia it, but basically the quote "Who Watches The Watchmen?", is graffiti'd on a window,

[THeEraSerr]

is the title a reference to 'the watchmen' comics or is that phrase like from before Watchmen?

[TrippyLantern]

The phrase is very old. It has its roots in latin, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes". It's used to ask who ultimate power should go to. If a group of people is given the power to watch over us and make sure we do right, then who makes sure that they do right?

[Mattmoo36]

the one thing thats wrong with this is that its almost too addicting. gotta love Claudio

[mattchew666]

Do you mean addictive?

[Mattmoo36]

Probably. my grammar isn't 100% but i thinks its damn good compared to some of this illiterate stuff i see on the internet.

[Truezero27]

Is this a joke??

...byt the way...he has an anus on his chin..

[RobTheCrowing]

trying to learn to play this song. I love it <333

[TheCamperVelorium]

i really love this song

[bjwagne1]

It is called a concept video that relates to a concept song from a concept album. wiki A Prize Fighter Inferno---- the answers are waiting............

[ANewTypeOfPunk]

wtf is this?

[submissionoverload]

Claudio could do much better. :(

[cwrenchwench]

. . . the fuck?

[TheSecondStage]

What are you The Fucking?

[cwrenchwench]

I'm "the fucking" the concept of the video in relation to the lyrics of the song. . . and the plot of the video.

Don't get me wrong. I like the song very much and the video has nice elements. I'm just missing the connection between the two.

[NateHarris177]

I know what you mean, but im guessing the fact that the amish people are burying claudio is represented by: "Stay with me to guide this dream, before they bury me"....Other than that, im as stumped as you are =]

[hunnylove88]

he is so cute !!!! if i wasnt married lol

[NateHarris177]

Im not quite sure what the point of the video is, btu i know for sure that the song and video together is just beautiful ^___^

Claudio Sanchez is amazing, theres noone else like him. A true legend.

I hope that once i get some of my friends together into a band, i can start writing lyrics as poetic as his. =D

wouldnt that be cool? ^__^

[Wohlerbear]

Arguing over youtube is fucking stupid.

PFI ftw.

[SoImNotJapanese]

i want to crawl into Claudio's chin dimple and live there for eternity 8D

[AgowTisro]

WTF O.O His beard maybe, but chin dimple? That's just weird. =P

[muf318]

the amish make the best chairs

[Ocabas]

Yes we do

[jakesplaysguitar]

wait , hold on . . .

[rockinhil]

yes, the best chairs and music videos...

[GodsentHellraiser]

Claudio makes Amish look sexy.

Didn't think that was possible.

[yoyonerd27]

im straight and i think so

[jacobkilgannon91]

Claudio + white suit + guitar + godly hair = completely amazing song and pure eargasm^^

one among the fence

[GrindhouseGibls]

MARSHMALLOW HAIR FTW!!!

[ParadoxBroken]

Shchphinkter11 while i admire your enthusiasm facts state otherwise. The phrase itself would technically ''belong'' to the writers of the Satires of Juvenal where it is plainly stated. Also the novel Watchmen was first published in 1986 while the first film adaptation was attempted in 1991. Both of which predate Armory Wars official documentation. Now I love Armory Wars but facts dont come from dogmatism or over zealousness.

[swe123swe]

the phrase  isnt owned by them though

[ParadoxBroken]

lol sorry dude, read the context of the statement and the direction of its purpose. Noone can own a phrase of course. And I never implied that it couldnt in anyway be used by this band or anyone else, I love the band and the comics/novels that go along side.

[nmbcfanatic]

claudio, the amish badass

[soocoolryan]

is who watches the watchmen really a good title for the song? i feel like any song with the most famous quote from watchmen as the title should have at least some sort of referance to rorschach. i'm sorry but goddam this song is a fail just cause of that. i mean he couldn't have named it about something it actually has to do with?

[Newtonian18]

This was written way before Watchmen jackass. And it has relevance, it's about Jesse, The Prize Fighter Inferno.

[Shchphinkter11]

ok soocoolryan you are a fuckin idiot and if i knew you in real life i would drop your ass in a heartbeat. FIRST OF ALL this song was written fuckin WAY before watchmen was ever thought of being a movie which is undoubtedly how you found out about that comic/movie, SECOND the phrase "who watches the watchmen" is a common phrase thats been around for years, no one owns it but if anyone did it would be claudio. how bout you learn your shit before you run your mouth you faggot

[swe123swe]

You have no clue what this bands about do u dude? Watchmen doesn't own that phrase. it serves another point for his story

[TheSSTBlade]

you only moan now that watchmen is out, just something else for people to bitch about.

you call this song a failure because it has no relevance to a quote, get a pair and go out sometime.

[danfrost313]

'soocoolryan' How can you say something as ridiculous as that, when you have stolen your name from 'Charlieissocoollike' Who is a much more likeable human that you can ever strive to be.

This song was never anything to do with that, and the Watchmen are actually railroad people, which in turn has FUCK ALL to do with the Graphic Novel or Film or Watchmen.

Applesauce Bitch.

[soocoolryan]

who the hell his charlie? and who cares what railroad people do? i'm sure claudio read watchmen, seeing as the thing's been out forever, it's fantastic, it's something that he would read, and it probs had something to do with the title. idk i just feel as though a watchmen (the book) referance would have been better.

[danfrost313]

Charlie is a youtube guy with much more reputation than you can hope to get.

Also, the titles refer to the story that Claudio has written, which coincide with The Amory Wars.

Its nothing to do with Watchmen in the slightest, so stop crying over it and get the facts correct.

[ParadoxBroken]

Railroad people?

[danfrost313]

The Watchmen are the people who control signal boxes i believe, to see if the track is clear for the next passing train.

[ParadoxBroken]

Whats that got to do with Watchmen (Novel) or the phrase ''who watches the watchmen''? the phrase outdates even railroads by quite the wee while there...

[danfrost313]

WHat do you idiots not get about the part of 'THIS SONG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WATCHMEN!?'

Jesus, its like you all have the most incredible memory loss.

And its not in context of real life, its part of the story. If you guys knew your stuff i wouldnt have to talk to you all like you're idiots.

[ParadoxBroken]

I never not once stated that this has anything to do with the novel, didnt even remotely hint to it, if one would stop being so asinine for a moment, one might read a context before jumping. The question was eluding to what any of this has to do with railroad people.

[danfrost313]

'Whats that got to do with Watchmen (Novel)'

If that isnt hinting toward it, i dont know what is.

Also, stop trying to look intelligent by using an archaic words where you have no idea what they mean, or what context to use them in. Re-read 'Eluding' in the thesaurus before using it again.

Also, i am far from asinine.

[ParadoxBroken]

What are you talking about, do you read back prior to a comment made beforehand at all? or simply reply to the last thing said? The phrase im talking about here, the argument about the Watchmen is just odd, but people dont realise that the phrase existed a long time prior to the novel so w/e. Im trying to work out how railroad people made it in there, as the phrase certainly doesnt come from them either.

[danfrost313]

Well if i read back to a comment made beforehand, i AM replying to the last thing said, so its the same thing.

Also, i dont even know what you are on about, because your original comment was just 'Railroad people?' which denotes nothing at all.

SO before acting all big shot, re-read your OWN comments. Everything i have said so far is with fact, wheras you just stab in the dark with random rubbish.

And i do realise the phrase existed before the novel, which is what im saying.

[ParadoxBroken]

And yet you still dont answer the question how you manage to fit railroad people in there.

[danfrost313]

Because 'The Watchmen' are the people who watch the signal boxes and tracks...Which i already answered.

[ParadoxBroken]

And as noone asked who ''the watchmen'' are how did that ever fit in, other than to state thats where the phrase were to come from, why did you ever mention them?

[danfrost313]

No, i was replying to Ryan who was talking about this sing was meant to represent Watchmen (Novel) and i told him it wasnt. Anyways, im done arguing with you, as you fail to see the opinion of anybody else, and you truly are impossible to deal with.

Have a good day

[ParadoxBroken]

FYI he never said that it was meant to represent Watchmen but felt that it had more of a connection to them, as far as the general public goes hes probably right sadly enough. And either way never needed to be mentioned as it clearly doesnt, chances are he was just a random trying to stir a reaction from a fanboy, clearly it worked.

[XxMCR999MCRxX]

lol at the Amish... weirdos

[MrKahdaj]

well there are comic books called the Amory Wars, their about Coheed's and Cambria's(his wife) "dilema"(i dont want to give anything away), and their based on the albums. Their writin by Claudio himself so they stay true to the story and they are really well illustrated, i would reccomend picking them up if you dont like C&C because their just really good sci-fi fiction. I also believe there is a novel written by claudio but its out of print so im still trying to get my hands on one.

[MrKahdaj]

yea its about inferno, the prizefighter, the books go more into detail than the albums do.

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

theres books of it? what are they called?

[TheSerranoConspiracy]

im guessing this side project ties in with the CO&CA strory right?

[trtisme]

This reminds me of like, Blood Red Summer.

[GodsentHellraiser]

That look that Claudio gives Claudio after he gets his drink.... Eeesh. If Claudio gave me that look I'd probably pee.

:3

[oliiscoolish]

my buddy would have claudios hair if he grew it hahha

[richardbraintree]

cool story, bro

[Shchphinkter11]

only claudio can have claudio's hair, kthxbye

[Zebrahead519]

and only claudio has claudios hair. so what are you trying to say?

[chase25951]

not true

=]

[RndR12]

what is this song about

[Samsasrenjet]

Whatever you want it to be about.

[Drillogik]

Claudio looks like a samoan warrior, and has the voice of a cherub.... strange yet beautiful....hmmmm

[5krunner1545]

hahaha

[GrindhouseGibls]

Marshmallow Hair FTW!!!!

[maquiladora21]

lol I love this song.

[snatchandrunyall24]

CLAUDIOOOO!!!!! GODDD!

[HartlessShooter]

lol his hair barely fits in the coffin

[CaptPlaceholder]

Craziest.

Chin.

Ever.

[cherrycola697]

His voice is soooo soothing[:

[XxPaperKlipxX]

He's a fucking beast.
