Poison the Well-Nerdy(live in Boston)

[xdavex1324]

I remember when they use to always be in Dayton Ohio

[rossmold]

the singer looks like Tim Tebow

[terror3nub]

wtf is he saying

[itakethesquare]

@terror3nub hold his hand.

[RaphDeathStep]

@terror3nub :( all PTW songs are love songs. not only does he want you to hold his hand, he said your voice is a beautiful as the sound of waves, crashing against his heart. <3

[menoseloso119]

@nthani is that a joke? The old vocalists were awful, and the distance ep is the worst effort from ptw

[xdeadwaterx]

Ahh the good days in hardcore... now it's all cookie cutter bands, trend, fashion, and too much subgenre arguing (e.g. metalcore, post hardcore, deathcore) who cares it all came from hardcore.

[RaphDeathStep]

@xdeadwaterx i know... ive always just called it post-hardcore just because its not shitty like that punk hardcore that skinheads used to make when they would buy squier strats on moms credit card. but then bands like brand new or any band that made music with background screaming vocals called themselves post-hardcore. all i know is that PTW and GlassJAw will be my favorite bands forever. GJ's new stuff is still really good too.

[mykshed]

bring back the Club Q days!

[xthomasvx]

The echo in the mic kills me. This is probably around 2000, right?

[nthani]

this singer is nothing compared to the old ones...they will never be able recreate what they made inthere first album because theres only like one original member left...way to ride a good name for yeard guys ..thumbs up to youuuuu..

[roxx0n]

@nthani is there even one live video on utube without jeff?

[roxx0n]

@nthani any way jeff joined 1 year after the band was formed, so tell me about the old better singers

[TheFakeseeker]

altisimo tema

[2323jgrant]

You will be missed PtW q__q

[killacrack420]

god i fucking hate goddamn fucking live shit but thats the only way to hear this song on youtube... fuuuuuuuuuuuucking gaaaaaaaaaaaay fuck you you fuck

[2323jgrant]

@killacrack420 there are other versions of this song on youtube.. the recorded versions.

[killacrack420]

@2323jgrant send me the link! thatd b sick

[severla5]

TEMAAAAAAAZOOOO MIERDAAAAA xD

[PackThaBong]

I fucking love this band. @ 1:47...is dude wearing a thong?

[thedoomrider72401]

poison the well is arguably one of the best bands ever. every album they have released doesn't sound like the one before it. they always change their sound and to me, that's revolutionary.

[ProminentReborn]

@thedoomrider72401 except for the fact I could cry every night about how nothing compares to Opposite of December and what that album really does for the heart.

I don't know, maybe I haven't given their other shit a fair chance ... OOD is so miserable is impressive

[ProminentReborn]

@ProminentReborn -- I mean just in reference to other PTW not all genres/music

[makeithurtful]

Look, when brosephs and brahs hear an album as sick as Opposite of December, it kinda stokes us out so hard that anything newer or more matured form the band will not stoke us out as hard. But give it a chance, like You Come Before You i consider their best one. And Versions is also really fuckin awesome.

[ffhk1]

bunch of short haired guys headbanging looks lol!

[ilkcansoluk]

poison the well = nerdy + Botchla!!!

[Sagit19]

New PTW is definitely not as good as this, this is a classic that changed the hardcore scene...

[makeithurtful]

New PTW is a different band brahhhhh, cant live in the past forever broseph.

[Sagit19]

LOL!

[Sagit19]

K brahhhhhhhh! Sorry broseph, Your right about them being different now, thats exactly what I meant...

[sandyxklaws]

true story.

[ProminentReborn]

@Sagit19 yep...

[TheVillasurfer]

STELLA DAWES

[Press1ToParty]

They always were good, and are still good.

[R0cc06669]

Correct!

[oimanwtf]

remember when they use to be good...

[unrescued]

I agree completely..

[OttotheGold]

true that man PTW's first two albums are two of the best hardcore albums ever man, but these last two efforts -YCBY/Versions, are really just sub-par.

[dajex16]

wow, back in the day, they were FUCKING ASSOME! now their sounding to much like minor threat. stop changing PTW! stay like this!

[zombieflayer666]

they dont sound anything like minor threat, really. dont look down upon an artists evolution. look at thrice, every album thus far has been amazing, but theyve changed every album. if you like ptw though, you should check out name. just type in my sweetheart the whore and scroll down a bit for the recorded version.

[dajex16]

i know that they didn't sound like it on their previous cds', but there new cd sucks. it "sounds" to me like minor threat. they just changed. Took a big risk and failed for me. dont know how every1 else feels about that. but i just dont like their new cd

[zombieflayer666]

minor threat is hardcore punk though, meaning simple, fast and aggressive chord progressions with shouting vocals and simple, fast paced drum beats. thats punk, in a nut shell. dont confuse similar sounding vocal tones with similarities in the band. but, thats what happens when a band evolves. you lose some fans. but if as an artist, your music doesnt evolve with you, then wheres the artistic quality?

[dajex16]

im sorry, let me refraze that, the vocals sound like from minor threat, not the band its self. but if you evolve before your music, then you should play were your at, and not try to play with old stuff. Music is what you make it, not what it makes you. But then agian, not all will like it. just like me

[BiZZaK2310]

hope your talking about old underoath! new shits real pussy.... cries of the past.

[sixmortsprod09]

you sound like me at 16yo haha.

[BiZZaK2310]

True. most likely older then you now! i dont even listen to music like this anymore. stick more to main stream club beats and shit like that. no chris brown faggot 16yo girls type of music tho.

[samwilson123456789]

they r cool but i still like underoath

[Lloydstarr69]

Cant wait to see these at the waterfront!!!

[xdeadwaterx]

these were the good hardcore days back in '99 and 2000 now a days theres a bunch gay kids in the scene cus hot topic fucked it up for hardcore

[deadwoodpictures]

hahaha there are shirts for Fred, kill me

[pritongpugita]

the best hardcore love song ever. haha

[TylerW0311]

bad ace.

[kunci84]

did the member of this band also the member of KEEPSAKE?do anyone have keepsake's video?

[WakeOfOrion888]

eek poopy clean vox

[BodModxCORE]

FAVOURITE POISON THE WELL SONG EVER!! YAY soundwave 2009, they'll be in Australia :D WOOO!

[LlamaLovesSigs]

hay hay hay. ;D C

[jsprvictoria]

[imjeff3]

you've got to love a hardcore "love song"... and poison the well.

[thefranchise86]

Hey ptw come to pa.

[coffeecrispsXe]

i saw these dudes for the second time like a month ago with duck duck goose and gwen stacy and it was so amazing they are so great live!!! if you can, see a poison the well show!! lots and lots of energy!!

[nextandykaufman]

i don't know about their other stuff, but this song is the shit.

[ALETHEDUDE]

i'm gonna see the fuckers tonight at the masqarade in atlanta

[SirPlorkenblog]

Oh man

This band gives me chills

in the best way possible

[lwindowsky]

HEY just so everyone knows I was being sarcastic these guys are amazing. I have also seen them live. and I hate FOB and MCR they suck. BUt one thing that bothers me is that the lead singer like punctured a lung or something and so his voice sucks live.

[sprandel171]

I would give anything to play in that band, all of the fans, the atmosphere... wow.

[dream0006]

thes vocalists clothes are dog spunk

[Haymaker17]

since when is music about looks. go listen to avenged sevenfold or eighteen visions

[craigergarten]

avenged sevenfold sold out listen to their old shit compared to their new shit it sucks ass

[69cradlesofdeath]

i love this song

[Daveals]

This band was one of the pionner in the evolution of hardcore and metal style. I live in Quebec and it really introduces people to the music style.

[oviduk69]

i miss old ptw

[queenoftheneighbo]

poison the well is love (L)

[jutsin928]

so were they just tired when they recorded versions. i want my 12 bucks back. i didnt get the ptw goin emo memo before my purchace

[SeanRadmer]

YAWN!

They're alright in comparison to most of the Botch/Converge/Coalesce/ Deadguy clones out there, but really, it's not that impressive. Give me any of the previous any day.

Oh, and to the "HARDKORE 4 LIFE" guy, go suck on an exhaust pipe.

[chilliwhiggerE]

Goin to see them Friday night. I can't F'n wait! In Fort Lauderdale. THE HOME TURF!!!!

[inamorata1]

i love ptw.

too fuckin awesome.

[rizze317]

Inamorata like the band?

[inamorata1]

yes of course. for a long time now. saw them a week ago in new york. why?

[kropskwat]

HARDKORE 4 LIFE !!!

[tmdrft86]

ptw is one of the best live bands i have seen, nerdy is usually a oncore song so they were probably tired

[FossZx]

these guys wicked suck live. no energy at all. awsome band tho

[jottyboy]

your retarded... you cant have energy on a stage that small. this video was taken a while ago. they are awesome live.

[lawlcrena]

dude thats tru, i saw them live this summer , they werent good... it took me 2 minute to recognize botchla and he wasnt even finishing the most important scream in all their songs...i love PtW , but i must admit they suck live.

[Syncpowah]

DEP destroyed at the ottobar, the stage is smaller or just as small.

[Henw]

You're full of shit. I've seen bands play with twice as much energy on stages half that small

[bearvsshaan]

what a stupid thing to say.

go watch any dillinger escape video. theyll show you energy if they were playing in my fucking dorm room

[JAKEtheuser]

look for the video of them at cbgb's. it's 21 minutes long, and ends with probably the most intense thing i've ever seen.

[tommeeen]

STFU, PTW rocks, they were just prolly tired or sumthin. And, it has nothin to do with how small the stage is, lol.

[tunaburn]

this band used to kick so much ass. their new shit is depressingly bad..... but still do good live.

[lemonpop4u]

i think this is sick

[MonsterEatsKids]

I don't understand why some of the previous comments believe this is a bad live performance. I think this is damn good, seriously.

[chrismaddenchyea]

so bad live

like

ew

[thesniffingdog]

yeah keep them in studio till the end ^_^

[ColeJones83]

ugh.... PTW always sucks live... killer studio band tho

[iampatches]

I hate almost all screamo/hardcore/indie shit, but I have always liked Poison The Well...

Sort of like a guilty pleasure...

*Also, Appreciating something and Liking it are two different things. Like Tolerating and approving of something.

if you can't see that, you are a daft moron.

[battleaxesoldier]

to anyone who dislikes You Come Before You or Versions.... I laugh at your ignorance.

Tear from the Red and Opposite of Decemeber are phenomenal albums... But anyone who doesn't appreciate the new stuff is a bandwagoner. So fuck you, go listen to the next screamo wanna be metalcore act that victory signs, come back when you appreciate talent and good music.

[RushHourMike]

bravo

[legendarypants]

Wow, no need to be so anal; I loved Poison the Well for those albums; The new stuff is like a whole new band; I just don't enjoy it or get into it.

Sorry for having taste in music; I'll be sure to listen to stuff I don't like just to please people like you, who assume I don't like the new stuff to be trendy.

[battleaxesoldier]

hahahaha... you just ignored everything I just said. I didn't say you had to LIKE it... FFS, read a little more. You don't really have a point. Think a little harder next time you try to make a comment.

[legendarypants]

Wow, are you sure? Because what I read was:

"to anyone who dislikes You Come Before You or Versions.... I laugh at your ignorance."

and

"But anyone who doesn't appreciate the new stuff is a bandwagoner."

Nice try; don't weasel out of the fact that you're a moron.

As Battleaxesoldier once said;

"Think a little harder next time you try to make a comment" ;)

[battleaxesoldier]

cut and paste makes anyone look smart. I'ts great how you manipulated what I said to suit your own opinion. Good job, did you want a parade for it?

Do the world a favor and get over it

[legendarypants]

Are you fucking kidding me?

Dude, reread your comment, those are the underlying statements.

the only thing I left out was the fact that you praised their first two albums, and then insulted me...

You're fucking pathetic, the entire point of your post was to say that if I don't like the new album, I'm ignorant, and I'm a "band-wagoner" for listening to Opposite of December; You need to reread your comment, because you're fucking retarded.

[battleaxesoldier]

I didn't insult you, you just took it as an insult.

calling me "fucking pathetic, and fucking retarded" isn't going to get you far. I never said anything about you specifically. But shit... oh yeah, I forgot the world revolves around you, so it must've been directed at you... So sorry, I think we need to hug this out.

[legendarypants]

It was a generalized statement, which said anyone who doesn't like Versions or You come before you, is a Band-wagoner; Which is an insult, and since it's a generalized statement, and I indeed like TOoD, and TFTR, but not their newer albums, I'm included in that statement. I wasn't personalizing, or being self-centered... If anyone is ignorant, it's you. You won't even admit the fact that you said what you did; you just keep trying to invent bullshit.

[battleaxesoldier]

You still can't read. I haven't said anyone who doesn't LIKE it is a bandwagoner. I said APPRECIATE it for the fact that it is still incredible music. It's not the same, but it's still amazing. HUGE fucking difference.

get over it, move on.

[legendarypants]

As you said; Cut and paste makes anyone look smart;

"to anyone who dislikes You Come Before You or Versions"

Stop being a fucking idiot and learn to read.

You wrote that exact statement above.

I fucking hate idiots. -.-

[battleaxesoldier]

wah wah wah... nah nah nah... blah blah blah... fuck you.

oh yeah... have a nice day :)

[legendarypants]

That was an amazing argument, I've noticed how idiots who can't back up their points usually try to save face by insulting.

You're pathetic.

[battleaxesoldier]

I've also noticed that hypocrites need to STFU and get over it. I kept my comments fairly tame, but enough is enough. I'm trying to save face by being insulting? look who's talking... you're the idiot.

[legendarypants]

All that comment basically is, is saying "no u r!"

I'm done here. It's obvious you're an ignorant arrogant retard.

[bacedifoguh]

They don't look very nerdy. They look like bad asses.

[maz1341]

One of the best bands to see live,

they love to pump up the crowd

[westyn]

better than alexisonfire. tear from the red and opposite of december were awesome, everything else after that :/

[tlazol]

so fucken awsome. love poison the well you guys rock my socks off :D

[repaintedingray]

from opposite of december to opposite of real music. anyone who likes anything after tear from the red, is a piece of shit who knows nothing about life or music.

[MikeLiberty87]

that's right bands can't make any good, new music. Only a band's "old stuff" is good.

[MgHq]

fuck you guys who fucking hate on posion the well they are fucking awesome.put ona good show no matter what.

[thadocsadvo]

i saw these guys live in calgary, and they sang this song, it was fuccin amazing! i lost my voice just screaming this song, i loved it! even more amazing, i got to hang out wit them after the show, and got pics and autographs wit jeff! it was sooooo crazy!

[stoibs313]

poisonthe well are stillgood

just cuz tear from the red was iffy you come before you was ok. and versions was great it was a great rock/hardcore cd

[kirkmeister182]

lol ace but not as good as alexisonfire :]

[andybt87]

old shit=good

new shit=well, shit

'nuff said.

[ezra420]

100% vouch

[elysia7]

they are the best band ever just watch this vid

[kexember]

i would really argue about them being best band ever, but anyway, this song kicks ass

[blkdahliabtch666]

you want emo (screamo) listen to CTTS

[oscarnbd]

no i dont want emo or screamo

fgt

[stoibs313]

poison the well are artistic metalcore or used to be now theyre hardcore/rock n roll basically

the new cd takes a while to get used to but i love it

[dehbeans]

best band ever. i get to see them 3 times in the next 2 months. woo!

[crimsonkiss007]

tomorrow u retards would call it emo

[ninimama]

dude for fucks sake just watch crystal lake or zombies are good for your health or listen to loved ones. this isn't screamo, poison the well are some hardcore mother fuckers. if you want screamo, check alesana out and compare.

[crimsonkiss007]

PTW is far from emo. I really hate that word and any band that uses an artistic approach and uses personal experiences as inspiration for lyrics are automaticly labled emo. I bet if nirvana released there first album

[QuiNnm503]

I love this song... i dont really like there newer stuff but older... KICKS ASS

[asdewqasdfgh]

yup...their new shit is kinda...idk how to word it....but their old shit is fuckin amazing

[insomniqc]

hey search Melekh - Nerdy

a kick-ass band from Bulgaria

i think they did a pretty good job with the cover :)

PTW rule

[slipknotke]

This band started the heavy riffs, one of the original bands that started screaming this band is LEGEND

[12cody12]

this is my favorite song by them

[JRB75]

lol i just love how the one guitarist has his mouth open almost constantly

[gothicrain888]

these guys sound like every other screamo wanna be band thats out right now. nothing special.

[CKYcdjvIDR]

umm...shut the fuck up. these guys have been around long before "Every other screamo band".

[jfree600]

ha...funny, screamo is pussy shit. as CKY said...this band has been around since the mid to late 90s...long before "every other screamo band"

[SlurmsMackenzie]

I hope they come to Australia

[roseegv]

just carry me away....

there is another video that is also great...on the hellfest

I will try to get it and upload it...hugs!

[xrichardxjamesx]

this was my first poison the well show. i wonder who filmed it and if there was more?

[sickestdude]

goddammit why are you so good

[uzirider751]

cant wait for warped VENTURA, ca

[pirateale]

haha, they always close with that song, or used to atleat.

[siantomoe]

this is cool ... like the drums

[Bleedxout]

holy shit i remember this, i was at this show

[xnaxbobx]

these guys are gonna be on the warped tour this year, that should be so fucking bad ass, i think that the tour is really trying to clean up a bit after all the crap they dragged around last year.. *cough*the academy is*cough*

[IxHatexMyxGeneration]

haha good 1 :D

[ilovesilvia69]

i love this fucking song

[xfearbefore]

great band, great song, can't wait to see em with Fear Before the March of Flames in a month, should be so fuckin' awesome. Long live hardcore.

[karathrace1]

ptw is awesome.. older stuff is pretty damn cool, but they have to evolve... still a great band though

[theguywhittheshort]

fuck you ..they have to evolve you dont know what you talking about ..they have to stay like that there are the best!!!! band hxc ever screw you emo biatch!

[karathrace1]

ok first of all, I didn't curse at anyone and I don't think thats a good way to start making a point OR trying to give your opinion on something. That kind of language is totally un-called for and if YOU had your facts straight you would know that PTW wanted to evolve to try new things themselves, and if you don't believe me read the damn interviews and articles that were written for their penultimate album :-)

[yapplesfall]

PTW is my favorite band. if you dont like it, go listen to something else.

[etidie8]

Anyone notice at like 1:43 when Ryan gets back on stage there's a little awkward moment with Jeff? I thought it was kind of funny.

[emco123]

lets not forget Gorilla Biscuits...

[asilaydying252]

Dude there older shit is soo fucking good.

[throughfear]

Im not emo and i think poison the well is a good band.

If your bashing other bands in a similar genere, then ur not cool. But what ever, poison the wells recordings sound good to me.

[supercow111]

Gash fuckers please do us all of us a favor and go listen to your music. You guys who bag and this are shit. Why watch it if you hate it. Seriously you fuckers bitch so much about Emo and shit. Just because it is Emo it does not mean it sucks so leave assholes.

[laudennn]

fuck you

[PerpetualShorty]

This shit is awful.

[ABoyBrushedRed]

they definately have the worst recordings out of any band in their genre. they didn't record to a click track, that's for sure. the drums get off frequently. and so do the guitars... it's kinda emberassing, but they're still good

[kitto4130]

I seen these playing with DIllinger a few years back. dillinger were far better but these guys still rocked.

[sandoness]

Poison the Well kick Opeth and Shadows Fall's ass you dirty fuck.

[ashes2ashes001]

lol this is good stuff...if u think its emo then dont listen to it and go jam justin timberlake and fallout boy...i saw them live with thrice...they were amazing

[RollMyCoaster13]

i was subjected to this piece of shit emo "cut myself" band when i went to see Shadows Fall (A GOOD BAND). Poison the Well is fucking awful, and hilarious at the same time. I love this gay shit, its funny to laugh at. It's all the same "WAH WAH WAH WAH WRWAHHH" "cut myself"

listen to Opeth, they are good metal...not this screamo shit.

[xmzx]

Screamo at its worst. Song is fucking catchy as all hell, doesn't make it good. All there other songs are real, real bad.

[GartFace06]

nice vid. poison the well is amazing

[TheDesecrated]

also just exept music as music. if music didnt have some sence of emotion it would be pointless monotoned crap that u could not relate to.
