Zao @ The Chapel - 1998 - Part one (Walk on by, Walk on me)

[ryandack]

and btw fucking jesse was/is fucking gnarly. Nar-Lee. Did anyone see how he got down on his knees at the end of the clip. yeah, that's because right after that he digs a grave for the drums he just murdered. true story...watch part 2.

[ryandack]

Zero dislikes cause its just not possible. You absolutely can not dislike any second of this.

[MitchLaing]

This is Amazing!!! classic ZAO!! before all these scene kids took over w/ their terribleness, ZAO was doin it better than the rest. Im so glad you posted this. I watched the whole set twice in a row.

[chukmaty]

Hardcore at its most basic and brutal.

[cliquehop]

lies of serpents, a river of tears was their best ever.

[numbersabcdefg]

2:02 Great face!!!!

[pubess213]

thats awesome, that pretty old

[mshelton0222]

So awesome! Thanks for posting!! Praise Yahweh!!!

[NoneedforaSN]

on the contrary eriatark,

i never listened to much after liberate except for funeral of god, and that was good.

it's entirely unfair to compare debut work to late work.

unless their completely change like atreyu or fear before the march of flames.

[mashwo1]

this is sick

[eriatarka1983]

It's so hard to believe that Brett left Zao to start a band so fucking gay as Juliana Theory. Depressing really.

[nashvegas20]

@eriatarka1983 I know right... crazy, never understood that

[eriatarka1983]

Best Zao song of all time.  Hands down.

[plankboi]

I disagree... to think of you is by far their greatest, but this is pretty bad ass

[xdeadwaterx]

fuckin awesome that this footage is on here thanks a lot man i love this band

[zaorulesmetal]

Also, he would play against the wall because his kit would get torn up by kids when they played in small venues.

[thenewfy]

How did they start to blow after save yourself from hell? zao is an amazing band period though have gone through so much but yet the soldier on, they are simmply a great band and continue to make greensboro proud

[eriatarka1983]

Just listen to the music.  Everything after liberate went down hill.

[nashvegas20]

@eriatarka1983 I really enjoyed Self-Titled alot.. to me it had the cool electronic, almost Deftone-ish sound to it.. its one of my favorites

[ericmsandoval]

@nashvegas20 I agree

[chaseishotter]

dan used to play with his back to the audience because he got too nervous to play in front of people...

i was in a band that opened for them here in springfield missouri @ the lighthouse... december 8, 1998...

good times!!

i miss those boys!

[zaorulesmetal]

If you're talking about the drummer, that's Jesse Smith, Dan Weyandt is the vocalist. If you're talking about the vocalist, he doesn't play anything, at least not usually.

[peterplaysbass]

True, but I did see Dan play bass at a show once.

[zaorulesmetal]

Yeah, I know, he played some bass on their records and live shows.

[FatBox]

Dan didn't have shoes on lol. That's crazy to think they used to play in churches though, now they're totally different.

[natrick]

WOW, I never thought I'd see a vid of this song live. thank you soooo much. I've been a zao fan since splinter shards.

[klauwn]

WOW! I get all these memories back from `98 there are live as good/better than on cd. I never saw em live.

I did`nt like zao after save yourself, but who cares?

[killsandthrills]

Yeah, they totally started to blow after Liberate.  The split with TFU was really good.

[shaaaaaade]

Thanks for sharing, you are a god amongst men.
