As Cities Burn - I Love You Lord

[jschristian44]

ah man i don't think i can ever get tired of this video.

[imaclay777]

Cody Bonnette i truly believe is the most Philosophical passionate and talented musician out there

[yummayblah]

NO, WE LOVE YOU.

[SashaPsychoticc]

chords?

[iluvinstruments]

why did they break up!!!!! He is so great

[WesBoom7]

ppl need to learn how to shut up while a band is playing especially a great one.

[jschristian44]

i love you lord.

[24Reference]

This song is awesome. My favorite As Cities Burn song.

[samx919]

I hate how loud the crowd is at the beginning of this video

[drumsmith89]

i think about anything he plays is going to sound good. he's a straight up good guitar player. very fluid style of playing.

[tehcuber]

anyone know what kind of strat that is?

[keybldemaster]

It's a Deluxe. My guess is an American Deluxe, I would doubt he would buy the Player's Deluxe Strat.

[tediumblithly]

I disagree...I doubt that he would buy the American...I would be sad if he did. Just in codys style and seeing as both the American and Mexican versions play and sound insanely alike...I don't think a working musician like cody would buy ANOTHER american Fender...he already has alot of them. But I have only seen this guitar played by him once...maybe he borrowed it?

[IcandoYoucando]

he gets so into the music. I love it. his live performances are so good..

[kkatelynnnnn]

I miss this....so much.

[jakeny7]

cody is a big part of why this doesn't exist anymore sadly.

[thedanperezvids]

i didnt know he could grow a beard

[tediumblithly]

finally someone using a strat in modern youthful music. that is not pop. Strats as of late have been totally over looked. somehow the new "deal" are teles. not sure why. I have one of both but for playability i like my strat.

[aubreywithoutYou]

that's a great observation right there. I'm not gonna lie.. i bought my tele because i was inspired by people (mainly Cody) who played them well.. but i actually enjoy the sound of the glassy sound of a strat.. I guess i have never been fond of their looks and i am still looking for a good looking one... but nonetheless, good call mate.

[NickolasLacey]

i know this is late but did you know cody also uses this guitar called GlassTone?

[aubreywithoutYou]

As far as i know... he used a prototype of one of their guitars in a show that was similar to this one.. like to put it through a trial play.

[NickolasLacey]

he endorses  them so i know he has to play them frequently but i love cody's tone so much and i cant tell if its the strat or the glasstone. If its the strat that would make me happy cause they are wayyyy cheaper.

[jallstars]

@tediumblithly they're both pretty good but i think the strat vs tele is similar to the es335 vs les paul thing. Both have their differences but at the same time very similar sounding.

[tediumblithly]

I have a 89 LP standard...as well as a 82 sunburst Es-335 both in similar shape...their tones to me are more diverse than those of the strat and tele comparison. I think a closer comparison would be a SG standard vs. the LP. Obviously I am biased but, I believe that much like the tele the SG has a "Cool" factor among many of our young guitarists. Strats and Pauls to them may seem to traditional?

[tediumblithly]

Not sure but to me a Strat and a Paul feel better anyday...now for studio to studio recordings of each instrument who knows really how much different each would sound compared to their counterpart. But the 335 as stated earlier...would be clearly recongnizable in a recording compared to the Paul or SG which both have similar pickup voicings and body structure.

[ferretjka]

Oh, holy crap. That's Overthrive isn't it?

[destine4sight]

Yep. Sure is.

[ceilinginmotion]

Somebody correct me! is that an American deluxe Strat? If so where the heck can I get vintage white with maple fretboard

[glasstheater]

its an 80's cbs strat. 83 i believe i used his guitar at first street studios. notice the 2 knobs instead of the normal 3. and it also does not have a angled input.

[destine4sight]

I really like that drummer.

He totally fit the ACB sound

[shar0n]

cody bonnette, hero. for almost 5 years. I love you Lord is my favorite old time worship song. I hope I can see him again. I hope he keeps doing music forever.

[shortbusoneohone]

As Cities Burn are so incredible music wise, lyric wise everything about them they're a Christian band but not the type to throw there beliefs on you

i think the reason for that is even in the lyrics of some of there songs it mentions doubt of there even being a God and i think the way they put that is what is going on through everyone's heads ACB just found a way to channel it into something beautiful

[naaai]

this is "Made too Pretty" isnt it ?

[ferretjka]

It's Made Too Pretty, but he threw Gates into the middle of it.

[destine4sight]

Yup.

This was before I knew for sure what the names of either of those songs were.

[hanna102connelly]

im an atheist but this band is cool

[ferretjka]

Well, at least you're open minded. Haha

[ryangraham]

i think we were made too pretty

[liljackiespinn]

ACB is by far my all time favorite band. they dont just sing for shit, they have a purpose and all their lyrics have a beautiful meaning.

so so so life changing

at least for me.

[jakeislegend]

amen.

[p2kudi]

this guy, this musician who i look up to so much, has changed my life so much, by the music that he writes. its so beautiful.

[24Reference]

@p2kudi How has the music changed your life?

[psalm1914]

wow

[thefiresinside16]

thats part of their newish song "GATES"

[dtan117]

newly posted that is

its their old outro

[TheAsCitiesBurn]

i want to see them so bad. amazing song. gosh.

[ShadowShelter]

two questions, the cymbal that the drummers got (I know it's a zildjian but does anyone know what type?) and is Cody's guitar a squier?

this song sound so good, i think their new album is going to be really good, i can't wait for more info on it. It would be cool if they did this entire three-songish kind of thing too.

[Viciousd]

Cody usually plays on a USA Fender Standard Telecaster. But at this particular set in this video- he is playing on a USA Fender Stratocaster. As for cymbals, i have no clue- I play guitar :D

[tothewaywardwife]

thats not a standard american stratocaster,

thats a fender deluxe series roadhouse stratocaster. i recognize that tex tone pickups and that tinted neck anywhere.

[Viciousd]

Ahh holy crap, I got owned.. *bow*... my guitar (strat) knowledge sucks.. *bow*... I play a Highway one Telecaster btw :D

[tothewaywardwife]

no haha..didnt mean to come off as a dick i was really looking into buying that guitar and i saw him using it and i tripped out. =] you're lucky i always wanted an american tele. i have a deluxe olympic white/tortoise shell fender toronado =] its glorious. but i want a tele or a strat as a backup =]]

[daltnpeppa]

i thought he used a highway one normally? fretboard looks real creamy in a lot of their live stuff

[whitecounty]

those cymbals do sound really good...

[jshdllrd]

seeing as how this comment was posted about 4 months ago, this may do nothing for you now (haha) but i was playing a 20" k custom ride, 18" a medium thin crash and the 14" mastersound hi hats.

glad to hear you liked the sound, my friend. take care.

[ShadowShelter]

nah dude, it helps a ton, thanks so much for responding even though its an old comment.

[tylerarnold1234]

is as cities making a new album after the end of summer?

this is great, cody to me has improved greatly live, not that the he was bad before but he has gotten veryy good. that is singing wise.

[1994Aitken1994]

i would do almost anything to see ACB live...

[Viciousd]

SAME. i want to see them so bad.

[imaftergodsheart]

i don't know anyone who like their music so i don't go to their concerts for fear of the awkwardness of being alone. XD i should probably go anyways.

[CoreyReplies]

lame.

[coryyy]

well they're broken up now so there you go... :/ nothing to worry about

[imaftergodsheart]

you are seriously misinformed. A new album came out last week.

[buckeyeblood22]

no you definitely are..they announced that their last show was in baton rouge about a month ago.

[youngandaspring]

there still a band there just not touring

[destine4hope]

I will be there.

[OceanIsTheory]

hey, anyone who wants more vids from the as cities stripped down show... the whole set is gonna be posted on our page in the next week or two...

[IxCOOKIExI]

Hurry and post this!!!!!!!!!

[thefarmergurl]

Cody is fantastic even just with a drummer!!!!!

[thealmostrocks]

someone try to help figure out the lyrics to the first song played on this

and put them in a comment

[Playitloud253]

I agree, that needs to happen, but I'm terrible at it. Someone else needs to.

[thealmostrocks]

lol yeah me too

[destine4hope]

This was their acoustic show?

[destine4sight]

yes sir

"acoustic" might not be the best description

but you missed an amazing show

wanna go to cool hand luke in a few weeks?

[thealmostrocks]
