Alkaline Trio - This Addiction [Live] - Atlanta 2009 - NEW SONG

[bengirraffeandfork]

yeah he is he allways does

[mikeruddick93]

is the bass player using orange amps?

[mikenumber35]

@mikeruddick93 yes

[blackerXero]

@mikeruddick93 Nah, those orange cabs are the guitarists.. the bass amps are ampegs, they're behind the guitarist. they just put each others amps behind one another so they can hear what the other guy is doing.. they probably run their own amps through their monitors.

[BeckaBear08]

@NeikoMeeko: Where are you seeing them in March? I'm going to a show on the 16th...just curious if it was the same one ^^

[missvectorassassin]

[jallamon]

[DookieAdz]

Alkalines Trio's back!

[xtrioxcore]

I think the album is going to be called The Addiction not "This addiction"

[laywitasnake9]

at least this is better than agony and irony bull shit

[6plane6crash6]

1/12/10 the album is gonna be called This Addiciton because this song is the first song on the record. Offically announced by Matt in an interview with RockSound

[RedBlocks]

hell yes! back to old school! :)

[theforbidden3102]

EPIC! I get a nice 1998 alkaline trio vibe from this! 2:02 is very goodbye-forever-y! Man, if the whole new cd is like this then thats a very comforting feeling!

[gregfellup]

jesus. blue dress shirt, tie, khakis... matt looks like my football coach.

[kelseahorse]

Is there a clearer version somewhere else?

[8yariv]

THIS IS PUNK !!!!!!

[dmon715]

fuck yeah buddy.

their whole new cd is supposed to be like this!

FINALLY!

[ns2joel]

Goosebumps

[ljhphoto]

wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow fucking WOW

[Noledann]

January 2010 is supposidly the release date. Just read it on another video.

[dmon715]

yep, and the new matt skiba solo acoustic album comes out february 16th 2010!

[MyKillzDead]

F@cking thank you for posting this Vid. dude! Ive watched it like 30 times in a row... Old School Trio fan here. Damn this song rocks!

[nitehawk32]

at one point around 1:23 he says something like "you hit me just like methadone, it took me every single day and i will try to find my way back home, you said the needles on the way. THIS ADDICTION"

Wow i just had a thought what if he mixed these lyrics to go with MY LITTLE NEEDLE? like the needle in that song was his true love (finding a needle in a hay stack) what if he gave it a twist in this one and by saying the needle is on the way he means his true love//wife haha just a thought.

[6plane6crash6]

it says "those others were like methadone, i took to get me through the day, i will try to find my way back home, staying clean along the way, hold out for the real thing ya" and the song my little needle is not about a literal needle. it is about trying to find a figuritive needle in a hay stack. the needle being a metaphore for true happiness. matt fully expains this in the origianl sin dvd that came with the Goddamnit reduex

[nitehawk32]

yeah i heard the clearer version of this the other day and found that my lyrics were incorrect and did i not explain i knew the metaphor for the song my little needle because reading my comment from earlier im pretty sure i was clear about that... just sayin b/c i own the dvd

[6plane6crash6]

hey nitehawk sorry. i misunderstood your previous comment

[ethanissoamazing]

YES!! Finally the Trio is going back to their signature punk sound! Can't wait for the new album! Does anyone know what the release date is?

[dmon715]

oh fuck eh, look at Skiba rocking tits at the beginning of this video. sweet!

[TeenageXXXBonehead]

Duuude, "Church and Destroy" would be fucking EPIC

[3blindbats]

when i was a member of the blood pact that's all the fans thought Agony and Irony would be, apparently its a title that's big amongst the fans in the ALK3 universe.

[3blindbats]

so will they FINALLY name this new album Church and Destroy?

[danpeezie]

Not trying to be one to piggyback videos, but I tried an acoustic version of this...check it out and let me know what you think...as long as you like it that is! haha! Great song Mr. Skiba, and great video post...I rock this mp3 all the time!

[TeenageXXXBonehead]

The username moniker comes from the song Sadie. Close though, at least you guessed Remains songs. Sadie is a great song, about the Manson murders. Just a bit of information.

[kevinkav]

Nice recording dude. Decent little tune aswell,hopefully the new record is a bit better than Agony + Irony.

[guitartist22]

and yet, perhaps there is hope left for the 3.

[dude8001]

man the quality on this is amazing, got an mp3 you can send me haha

[danpeezie]

If anybody wants to hear a half-butted attempt at an acoustic cover of this and some other Alk3 tunes, search for DanPeezie. They suck I think! haha! But something to check out if you want. This video is great too..thanks!

[danpeezie]

Verse 2:

Lose a little at a time like methadone

Took you every single day

Now I have times when I feel that cold

Saying a needle's on its way

Oh got a hold of it all day

[brokentwentytwo]

"Now I'm trying to find my way back home"

That's this version at least.

[danpeezie]

Which line does that replace?

[brokentwentytwo]

Now I have times when I feel that cold.

[danpeezie]

Sounds correct to me...any others you know of? There are some I know for a fact are wrong but I just used my Alk3 word bank and what their style usually is, and gave it a guess...haha! Thanks

[rikerd16]

its more like this

verse2

i took to get me throught the day

now im trying to find my way back home

staying clean along the way

thats all i can get from that verse the first and last line i cant hear to well

[danpeezie]

The first line I had pretty good...Took a little at a time like methadone...good Skiba writing...going from heroin to methadone! haha!

[EmbracexThexDarkness]

@danpeezie So much fail. You got every single line wrong.

[danpeezie]

@EmbracexThexDarkness

Not quite every line, jackass. But thanks for the constructive criticism. You're a super star! Well done!

[EmbracexThexDarkness]

@danpeezie You said: Lose a little at a time like methadone= Incorrect Took you every single day= Incorrect Now I have times when I feel that cold= Incorrect Saying a needle's on its way= Incorrect Oh got a hold of it all day= Incorrect Nothing personal. But every line is wrong. REAL LYRICS: Well, those others were like methadone I took to get me through the day. Now I'm trying to find my way back home Staying clean along the way. Hold out for the real thing, yeah.

[danpeezie]

@EmbracexThexDarkness

Keep in mind, when I wrote the lyrics the song hadn't been released yet. I was taken a guess based off of a crappy live recording that somebody had posted. This live version actually!

[danpeezie]

Chorus:

This addiction, can't seem to live without

This addiction, keep getting cravings of you

This addiction, no longer under my control

Sick with this addiction now

[3blindbats]

just curious, could it be

"Sick with this addiction in me" ?

[danpeezie]

Very possible...hard to make out. My guess is once the album comes out, my cover version of this will be WAAAAY off other than the lines about heroin and methadone...I think those are pretty clear...oh, and the part where they 'This addiction'..ha!

[danpeezie]

Verse 1:

It hit me just like heroin

Feel you coarsing through my veins

I wish I could heal this addiction

I swear I'll never bleed again, and I'll be doing fine then

[brokentwentytwo]

I wish I could *KICK* this addiction

[danpeezie]

anybody got lyrics on this? I think I'm pretty close but I know there' s a few I'm off on...any help?

[DIYLobotomy96]

LOVE IT. sounds like they're going back to their Good Mourning days. it's definitely more punk rock than their newest stuff.

[DaveO15]

Queer.

[DIYLobotomy96]

Get a job hippie.

[DaveO15]

Queer.

[NoahATHO]

I like your username. A line from Queen of Pain, right?

[karstencasino]

no. it's sadie.

[NoahATHO]

Still a great song.

[DIYLobotomy96]

no, its Old School Reasons.

[brokentwentytwo]

Karsten is right, it's from Sadie... another video I uploaded. Great quality on that one too.

[vesago138]

I love it.

Always loved trio, and the last 2 albums, i searched hard to find tracks that i really loved. ( unlike other albums, where every song was a hit from the start for me...)

BUT , I can see me loving the new album! :) so far - so good

[VagrantDownfall1]

ALKALINE TRIO BACK TO THEIR ROOTS YES!!!!!!! :) I'm a long time alkaline trio fan and I'm really excited for a "new beginning." Awesome band.

[zxxx86]

i used to like this band a lot more but this sounds like more of the same. not to say its a bad song but it just feels like they made this song like 7 times. I just feel they try something new like some new chord progressions or just try to change something. of recent time my favorite by them was in vein because it had a new sound but you could still tell it was the trio. they should try more songs like that. this feels like a step backwards.

[a7xkid]

i hear what your saying but this rite here is there singnature sound that everybody know the trio by

[3blindbats]

in vein is by far my least favorite song from Dan, just saying. There are time where i wont skip it on my iPod , but those are few.

[SplinterX]

i like it but dan has made better songs. love love kiss kiss is my fav song on the A&I

[3blindbats]

what about Burned is the House? i thought that was his best one and they didn't even put it on the actual album.

[nitehawk32]

thank you hahaha burned is the house was a really good song and got little support in my opinion

[3blindbats]

also, @ 1:58 - 2:12 ....goodbye forever ?

[MIKEx71xDEES]

sounds dead on

[Rileyyy33]

yeah it does sound like it totally but two very amazing songs at that.

[3blindbats]

agreed but i just thought that was weird, besides its my favorite part of GBF.

[Rileyyy33]

yeah. it's pretty cool!

[browneclowne]

Fuck ur right...

talk about recycling

[seinfeld41]

yeah it is...but right after that it's different...i was skeptical of this song too but it grew on me...everyone needs to give this song some time

[3blindbats]

holy shit this new stuff sounds like it kills that of Agony and Irony and Crimson, sigh these guys truly can do no wrong.

"I'm a blind bat lost in their light"

[justinisyes]

Goddamnit or The Hills, the Trio can do no wrong.

[NoahATHO]

CLASSIC TRIO!!

Not that I don't like Agony & Irony, but FHTI, Good Mourning and Maybe I'll Catch Fire all rule.

[zubin27]

finally, derek is getting back on it on the drums

the actual lyrics/hook sound somewhere in between FHTI and agony&irony

the music/chords are classic trio.... this coupled with the fact that alk3 is going to release their cd independantly is going to be a good sign for alk3 fans.

i think alk3 finally accepted that they probably wont ever be a huge mainstream act like green day and theyre ok with that. Going back to your roots is basically saying "lets just stick to what we know and are"

[kathleenriot95]

i hear you dude

[LukesInABox]

I completely agree, i think its excellent that they're sticking to who they are, and now they're heading back for their routes old akl3 fans including myself will welcome this no questions asked, =]

[element65495]

fuck yeahh

[Rileyyy33]

great recording of it dude

[nrlsky]

Now that they are going back to their old sound, all the "OMG I LOVE AGONY & IRONY AND THE HILLS" people have gone into hiding.

[punkskabassist87]

I've listened to Alkaline Trio for close to a decade and I liked Agony & Irony. It was a decent pop album. Compare it to Crimson and it's brilliant hahaha,

However, I am VERY pleased that this sounds like classic Alk3.

[Slomes37]

I reminds me of "Cringe".

[Alkalinetrioreligion]

i could get any more excited i was a little let down by agony and irony so this is definatley the best thing since goddamnit

[3flyingbananas]

really sounds like they are making a comeback to form with the new album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!! Cant wait man, gettin stoked for the release!!!!

[trio952]

It seems really pop-y and up beat. Its almost old Trio, but its more like Jaked On Green Beers if anything

[Markhoppus31315]

This sounds so good.i agreee it sounds like their going back to their old shit finally haha.

maybe because now their not signed to epic anymore hah.

[thepersonofme]

THE SKIBA WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE IS BACK!

[ThemeFiasco6]

Thanks so much for posting!

[bendinggreenvans]

great :)

[whitedwarf05]

this sounds a little bit more liek their old stuff. me likes :)

[Theballessness]

To me it sounds like a mix of their new and old stuff. Still fucking fantastic as always.

[broncosarethebestxxx]

Alk3 yes!!

[FirstandGoalFTW]

This is SO good

[afab232]

hopefully their album doesn't continue in the direction they were heading in with Agony and Irony....this sounds pretty good

[juliawillett2317]

I cant wait for the new album!! When I first heard this song at the M&G I have been so excited about hearing the new stuff!

[182himynameisben]

This is totally epic!

[alk3tom]

Im gonna cry, this sounds amazing

I may finnaly get BACK into alk3 again

[Texasswhole]

I was there!!

Fucking great concert. I wish they'd headline their own shows from now on though -.-

and what the hell? They cant go changeing their emblem!! People got TATTOOS of that shit!

[Texasswhole]

woah, nope.

WAsnt there. I was in Dallas xD

the set looked exactly the same though, so i was confused.

All my previous statements still stand though -.-

[luckysmokerings2]

their permanent emblem will always be the heartskull, no doubt about that..

this is just a new thing just for shows or t shirts and stuff like that, they did it with many things, like the old style couple from the time to waste single =)

[VaZZim]

yeah.. the heartskull is still their emblem :)

[thepersonofme]

yeah they had had that girl running with sciors, they just play around with picture but the heart emblem will always be trio. Skiba has it tatoed multiple times on his body.

[samuraiBSD]

I'm liking the return to the more punk side of things.  Granted, the emotion will never be quite the same as it was with Goddamnit, but I definitely hear a welcome change.

[rockmusicmaster]

I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM

this song alone confirms that it will be good

[spiffcorgi]

i mean the chords to the verse are same as bloodied up, you've got so far to go and so many others. the chorus is mercy me, sadie and i found away.

but i still fucking love it.

[seinfeld41]

it is a little disappointing, and you're right, it just seems like they aren't trying too hard to make anything too different which i can respect, i'm sure the song will click with me eventually but idk haha

[luckysmokerings2]

well, you're right and wrong.. i admit it's simple.. BUT

this is how we know alkaline trio, they tried different things: 'crimsong, agony and irony', and it's decent stuff, but nothing compares to their previous stuff.. i mean, good mourning, goddamnit, maybe i'll catch fire.., and they all have simple chord progressions, but that's just how alkaline trio is. AMEN, the new record is going to be awesome.

[seinfeld41]

yeah it should be the other new song i heard sounded amazing, and i have a feeling it will be amazing too. i'll still love trio no matter what they do haha. but is the new record called amen?

[luckysmokerings2]

why would you think that? i just said that out of pure randomness haha

[seinfeld41]

oh because you said amen i thought you meant that it would be called that, but i guess not! haha

[VaZZim]

AWESOME!

[sethsique]

I love that they're bringing back their old sound, but I think one thing that this new album won't get back is the old Trio emotion.

[a7xkid]

obviously that old trio emotion wont come back considering there older and more mature now

[rockmusicmaster]

its true

IM LOVING THESE NEW SONGS THOUGH

[tombo352001]

YES! Its about time.

[SparetheJesters]

New album could well be incredible :) , so glad there going back to there old style. Im sure almost every trio fan is

[dude8001]

FREAK YA MAN I'm so excited, they are so incredible.

[wryams166]

Fuck yeah this album is gonna be the shit!!!! Goin back to the old shit

[brokentwentytwo]

Thanks for all the compliments on the video, but I just pointed the camera and hit record. I'm very glad you all enjoy it.

I'm def going to be trying to put up some Manchester Orchestra stuff in a couple weeks. Should be fantastic.

[zimgir5000]

It's also the same chords to the chorus of I found away.

[zimgir5000]

Fuck yes, Hail Satan, Alkaline!

[Noledann]

Thanks for posting all the new ones man. Definitly made this well worth it by capturing all of it. I applaude you.

[jemhavok]

Im so happy i could cry!!!!

[UnosDosTres]

"you hit me just like heroin..." skeebs is back to his classic writing lol, so psyched for this new album

[voodootony]

I smell a new classic

[Moss24]

it sounds like goodbye forever im soo glad they dropped Epic now that there doing there own shit it sounds like there old school sound

[lobzunpreston]

I think it sounds like goodbye forever because they probly only got a few parts written and just need something to fill it up with

[misfit72492]

this really shows how alkaline trio really can create their own songs and not need any production or change. i think their self produced album will be the best one yet. i hope they play this tonight at the fillmore

[lobzunpreston]

fuck you man I wanted to see them at the fillmore so badly today! :(

im totally digging this new shit. my cock and balls are all yours mr skiba

[ShmuckgotOwned]

" this addiction cant seem to live without it "

[jorinaapje]

I love you videos man, thanks a lot!

This song reminds me of goodbye forever and the first part of the verse sounds similar to 97.

Anyways, great videos!

[Noledann]

I was in the Purple one like most of the night. Was a pain but still well worth it. :)

[brokentwentytwo]

Ha, I figured a few of you around me would be checking for these videos. Was a rocking show. Hope the bright ass LCD wasn't bothering you guys too much.

[Noledann]

I was like right next to you then too Haha. Awesome!

[cloudburst1232]

I was sitting right behind you dude.

[Noledann]

I was at this show. Pretty good set, the opening bands were horrible. At least this and Trio's take on "KKK Took My Baby Away" made up for it.

[Moss24]

i liteally just creamed myself 3 ways through sunday

[dmon715]

holy fuck this is epic, absolutely epic. oh sweet jesus! This next record is gonna be the new Goddamnit! Goddamnit II !!!!!

[brokentwentytwo]

Glad you enjoy it. Tell your friends :)

[dmon715]

ya dude. This vid was posted on the blood-pact already.

[brokentwentytwo]

My vid or did they up one? If it's mine, I hope they won't mind :) Let me know.

[dmon715]

this exact video. Everyone loves it!!!!
