[BKC49]

[17capriati]

[klucas196]

Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!!!

[silantbill]

[555metaltapp666]

[shelly41760]

@555metaltapp666 And You Had To Quote Ludacris To Get Your Nigger Ass Gang Banger Point Across

[PixelatedBros]

I like Emmure and TAS.....I love them both. Stop making unnecessary competition and listen to the fucking music you bumders.

[klucas196]

I HAVE GIVEN UP ON YOU!

[anormalnick]

The first guitarrist of this band was fucking brutal..

I miss his style..

[prayingdeath666]

Beyonce did, just sayin

[ILikeYourMothersAss]

Emmure > TAS

[7Deag]

@ILikeYourMothersAss LOL! hahaha wow i thought that was a serious comment for a second

[GWFxiPRoDiiGY]

@ILikeYourMothersAss Please be joking

[8JobForAMexican8]

@ILikeYourMothersAss I'M SORRY I'MA LET YOU FINISH, BUT THE ACACIA STRAIN IS WAY BETTER THAN EMMURE OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME.

[dingyQLF]

Hopefully DL's Kid Grows up hella fast

cause I want DL back

[KyleIsomGuitars]

@dingyQLF hell yeah

[xXWoShutItDownXx]

this is my jam

[roflmao521]

weak stage presence :/

[JaredL19]

@roflmao521 this looks like it was a bad show ive seen them live 6 times and everytime they have had amazing stage presence

[roflmao521]

@JaredL19 oh thank god haha

[quinnmyster]

Why is there no footage of the crowd?! AH! I hate it! Sick vid and recording though! And where the heck is DL?!

[Cleticxx]

wow...... acacia strains stage present is so gone now that they got these two to cover for DL

[robotsbleedblue]

They put on a good show here, the bassist spitting the water is awesome, it just gets you pumped up even more. The guitarist on the far right has amazing stage performance, the guitarist on the left is horrible. He ma play good but he just stood there the whole time, boring.

[silantbill]

@robotsbleedblue He's not in the band

[xtalmidinx]

I wish I could of seen the pit.

[dudage12]

DL is still in the band. I suppose he just doesn't tour with them.

[shamm249]

@dudage12

Still in the band. Had kid, and Is choosing to do the family thing for a while. I'm sure he'll be back.

[OnHopeAlone]

@dudage12 he had a kid mang, out for a bit and will be back to be badass again. dont you worry

[x3991253]

fuck this place up pick up your feet... every acacia strain show

[TheImpaler13]

I love the band, but now they got 2 guitars live, why dont nyone play the melodic parts :(

[WZdskc1530]

is that Blood Has Been Shed's guitarist?

[comatosegroove]

@WZdskc1530 nope BHBS guitarist wrote on 3750/Dead Walk but has since left.

[TrainerCaboose]

@comatosegroove

DL wrote almost all of their music. I asked him personally.

[comatosegroove]

@TrainerCaboose im sure DL wrote a substantial amount, but you can still hear the BHBS riffs on the first 2 albums, even if they are just fills or transitions. after leaving, daniel daponde briefly had another metal band which sounded alot like what was missing from continent. dont get me wrong, daniel + daniel was my fav TAS configuration. i miss it.

[XxGunFacexX]

No DL = POOP

[macaframa12]

Whos the bum on the left playing guitar

[chimaira816]

this guy is a way better fill in than the guy from another video i saw.

[NYDEATHMETAL666]

wait any reason why DL is not here....i feel so stupid why i dont know this

[espguitarsown]

@NYDEATHMETAL666 cause DL IS A DAD NOW

[yehlingboy]

they dont suck..they just play one straight breakdown..i think thats awesome..fun in the pit and he screams real low..i love him ..hes so fat and cute..i wanna squeeze his boobies

[dingyQLF]

@yehlingboy haha but before he was super skinney in the first two albums

[JugGeRNauT495]

@yehlingboy wtf?

[C00Lcat69]

@yehlingboy HAHAHA FUCK YEAH

[gravebag]

@yehlingboy then he rips your head off..lol

[yehlingboy]

@gravebag ha yeah he probably would...but you know you wanna squeeze em. don't lie lol

[zguinmey]

@yehlingboy you're gay man

[yehlingboy]

@zguinmey nah i just wanna squeeze his boobs

[ThePawtSmoker]

@yehlingboy thats still not an answer to why they suck :\ if anything that sounds retarded

[yehlingboy]

@ThePawtSmoker ha that was a long time ago and people still talk to me bout that

[Fellopian22]

I just saw these guys last night and they are fuckign horrible, the best part is that someone threw a quarter at the lead singer, and he was all cry whiny bitch and took his band off stage

[llameroo23]

hahaha the left guitarist is too lazy to do headbang xD

[iXamXtheXwalrus]

@llameroo23 hes prob fucked up

[7Deag]

2:02

FUCKING CROWD CONTROLL.

[skatezero1324]

for the people who are asking if the guitarist is coming back, i was at this show and they said that he had to be at home cuz his wife was having their kid thats why he wasnt there.

[kamelen7]

Team Emmure.

[spastic017]

is their singer drunk?

[whitestkidyouknow94]

@spastic017 stupid boy.

Vincent is Straight Edge. homo.

[spastic017]

@whitestkidyouknow94 how the fuck should i know, cut your wrist and die of the infections you get

[DEVENMICHAELYOUNG]

@spastic017 You should know considering he has Edge tattoos and he started Diamond Cut. Faggot.

[spastic017]

@DEVENMICHAELYOUNG I DON'T FUCKING KNOW THIS BAND ALLRIGHT!?

saw them yesterday by the way but i don't know any of their songs.

[Zerocolin6]

@spastic017 vincent is straightedge

[nikesaysjustdoit]

DL isnt coming back. He wrote and recorded the new record coming out next month. Thats it. He wont tour again. The bands stage presence is garbage now. So is the sound. DL has amazing live sound and presence that will go unmatched. They could have 3 guitar players like they used to a long time ago. Wouldn't matter. Sorry dudes, just standing there trying to look tough and head banging here and there while Jack and Vincent try way too hard isnt going to cut it. Dont believe me? watch the DVD

[chunk7387]

@nikesaysjustdoit

wait, are you serious? DL isnt gonna tour anymore? I mean acacia strain doesnt play vegas ever but ive seen them a few times in other cities with DL

[jdriscoll2000]

they have two guitarists because the fucking record was written with at least two guitarists in mind. shut the fuck up

[hockey1414146]

I HAVE GIVEN UP ON YOU!!!!

[barebp]

is DL gonna b e on the cool tour?

[DrkSbr1]

i agree.....id be pissed if i paid to get in and they just stood there. Vincent picks up there slack though. hes such a bad ass.

[ramprage15]

wow these guys cant even sound like dl and hes one person lol

[702homie]

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, fucks with The Acacia Strain.

[xxxmarkhatesyouxxx]

I wanna shove that guitar down that shirtless faggot's throat :)

[xSPLENDAx]

@xxxmarkhatesyouxxx You listen to Icepick. And Liferuiner.

[xxxmarkhatesyouxxx]

@xSPLENDAx hell yea I do

[Jeremy666FTW]

Not loud enough. Not good enough. I miss DL.

[Straightxblastin]

this fill in guy fucked up guitar.

[Voheezy]

yeah its not full sounding

[likelight2flies]

lol

[ethan1336]

The guitarist on the side farthest from the camera is Daniel Daponde i think, he used to be a permanent member and the douchebag guitarist with the beads around his neck is Dave Sroka of ex-Blood Has Been Shed and Grimlock. He was bigger in the 90s hardcore scene.

[darkreaper66]

Nah, that's Mike Cassavant on the far side

[BoochieBear34]

i was at this show dl had a kid so he was home, these dudes were just doin it for dl

[BonoHASmonoFTW]

That shirtless faggot ruined the 'I have given up on you' with that guitar slide -__-

[BonoHASmonoFTW]

ROTFL SUCK A FUCKING GOOD INTRO HAHAHA

[OutlineOntheHorizon]

The metal dudes on guitars can't play pinch harmonics like a wigger? Lacking skills.

[Deadmeatproductions]

I love the acacia strain with my whole heart, but I really do miss DL. that shirtless dude with a fucking cross around his neck annoys the hell outta me.

[slither305]

guitarist is gay as fuck.

[gslewitzke]

Haha that guitarist did even less at our show. The rest of the band was insane but that one guy just sat there with the "metal" frown. Its kinda comical that a huge dude like the other guitarist goes insane, while a 105lb dude stays stagnant.

[boderlander21]

yea that tiny guy was mad lame. DL was missed on this tour.

[collin96coco]

I'm sorry ,Idk that much about these guys, so who is DL?

[ramprage15]

DL is the big mother fucker on guitar

[crashdan0783]

actully DL is out doing some family stuff ... these were some fill in guitar players

[RefiningMask1]

Wait so is DL the one that always spits water and wears headbands and shit?

[ramprage15]

@RefiningMask1 yea check out there myspace if you really wanna know who he iss hes not in this vid thos cuzz he was at home sick or somthing but check him out

[ANocturnalWar]

he's the bigger guitarist with his shirt on and always wears a headband yeah. the other guitarist isnt in the band anymore though, it's just DL now i think.

[EveryDayBadNews]

DL is at home right now , hes not in this video , the one who always spits water out is jack strong the bassist , he does that stuff way to much and it looks stupid and its just disgusting

[jbold5]

@RefiningMask1 hes the guitarist whos bigger and thinks hes black..

[DxWeezyXx]

This just makes true Acacia fans appreciate DL more...Stage presence talent etc... But sick ass video..

[quincyo]

just jizzeed that was soo sick!

[pooty195]

yea im not entirely sure the dude without a shirt is human. most likely robot. he just stands up there with the same grin stuck on his face

[kmoj12345]

i love this bad and everything, but for the type of music they play, their stage presence sucks.

[spinalshock]

@kmoj12345 the two guitarists are fillers, they're awesome with just dl

[redstarattack]

yeah back in august he had a kid- and vince said to "get on the myspace and tell DL to stop stuffin' pussy"

[zacharyshaver117]

If you call him Vince one more time he is going to rip your fucking head off.

[hhjl05]

aw man...how did I miss this show?

[JessJessism]

that guy without the shirt fucking sucks

[RalphTheSpanker]

yeah dude hes not even doing any of the ridiculous harmonics...

[chunk7387]

anyone else find it funny they need 2 ppl to do DLs job, because thats how baller he is

[xxSURROUNDEDxx]

i hope they didn't replace him. it's just temporary right?

[slipknotman012345678]

ya, Dl had a kid. hell be back after

[iamhollywood315]

@chunk7387 they have 2 guitars tracked on all their records, its sounds better having the other guitar parts

[guitar18305]

@chunk7387 Do you realise they tracked 3 different guitars on the record?

[jbold5]

@chunk7387 dont for 1 second think that they need two people to play his guitar part.. im a drummer and i can play DLs part..

[WhoaShutItDown10]

@chunk7387 DL replaced three guitarists when he joined the band.

[DrewA1195]

@chunk7387 I know exactly what you mean. DL can never be replaced. I hope he will be on the road with them soon.

[jewelsucks]

@chunk7387 they used to have 3 guitarists back when 3750 came out that was a show to see

[iPlayHaloNaked]

@chunk7387 no its because 1 man playing a rhythm part and lead part at the same time would sound shitty lol

[Senecal]

Kanye is the fuckin shit. 2:01 is so fucking good. Best show I ever went to.

[theblacklips]

i love how it starts out

[georgioslukai]

wow look at the guy w/ no shirt just stand there. if your gonna be playin super simple palm mutes you should be goin crazy on stage

[inforredbass]

who the fuck are these replacemnet clowns?? are they from another band? if so its obvious they dont play pinch harmonics... Put your shirt on douche bag... my mom plays better than you

[puffAHHH]

The replacement guitarist with no shirt just sucks. He can't do a pinch harmonic for his life and has a few of the patterns wrong. Nothing beats DL and Dan Daponde together. 3750 and The Dead Walk are proof of that

[erod2713]

he was the sub for dl cuz hes having a kid and if you were at that show you would have know that. cuz thats what vincent said along with the fact that Dl's kid is going to be the anti christ lmaoo. i love tas.

[pooty195]

rofl @ the guitarist with no shirt. he made the same face the entire time last night too

[carnage101]

Damn still no DL i see...I can't believe they have 2 guitarists now

[xxtheacaciastrainxx]

what was their set?

[Ghost5189]

This was the best part about the night, fucking Acacia Strain.

I wish they filmed the part where Impending Doom had the whole crowd sit down haha.

[zKeepItBrutalz]

this show was GREAT, wish someone would have filmed the pit cause i was in itt.

[yeickers22]

yeah bro show was sick i left right after these guys played they were awsome.

[Hatebreedist4Life]

I was the guy that screamed into the microphone.

[malachowski00]

i was at this show too

[0pethMetal]

I love these guys, but abr killed it, the show was beast to say the least
