The Academy Is...: 40 Steps (TOUR VIDEO)

[pepet76440]

i miss you guys

[krazybabe771]

This was the wrong song to pick grew up with this band its kinda like a chapter ended for me aswell as them depresses me. Such amazing musicians and lovely people who deserved more than they got

[tumblenerd26]

when did they split?

[Sweetmuffins0018]

@tumblenerd26 Last month. They made an announcement on their facebook.

[franzee30]

Now I'm gonna listen as loud as I want. I'm gonna miss you guys. TAIforever♥

[SarahSteph122]

'I will follow you anywhere'

even though they're not together, I'll always follow their what they have in store for us.

[RevengeforBreakfast]

You guys are so amazing. A huge part of my life. I discovered myself through your music, and got obsessed with music. It is because of this band that I met some of my best friends. I am so thankful for all The Academy Is... have done, and even though they've decided to go their seperate ways, I'll always have them in my heart. Santi will forever be my favorite album, of any band, and I when I die I want to be listening to this song.

Thank you guys so much♥

[prettyoddsoren]

I am going to miss you all so much.

[soryna24]

This video kind of makes me want t start crying. It's such a beautifuly sad song, and coupled with an amazing video....

I love you, TAI.

[TheFTSKBABE]

IT WILL NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT CHIZZY AND THE BUTCHER </3 :'(

[ChutesandJammers]

WoW! Hell Yeah!!! Love The Academy Is...Been listening to a lot of TAI, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Sick Puppies, Blink-182, and The Used...

Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a pretty cute chick singer :-) ...check em out...

search "hey you band taking over"

[someonebored10]

I miss you guys ;_________;

[VenomViolets]

[AndiSayItsAlright]

AWW I MISS THE DEAD FERRET SISKY! :( :( :(

This reminds me of the good ole days of TAI....they were no doubt THE BEST band of today when they came out with stuff like this. They were simply amazing<3

I just wish they hadn't went all pop when they got famous :( Now they are CRAP.(no offence I still love them but not as much at all...)

SANTI! :DDD

[HeyGennie]

omg... i love them <3

[CupcakeLovefication]

I started singing this song yesterday without even thinking about it. It has been stuck in my head for a week and I don't mind at all.

[ciicii538]

mikie carden is so hot in this video :) <3

[ohaiitsmatt]

20 people missed the like button... >_<

[veggemite]

aww this song, soo good !!! :) it reminds me of the days when I thought TAI was actually really excellent and had talent among the shitty bands they were coupled with. i mean I still adore them but it's kinda crappy now (no offfense)

[Just2Girls9709]

Ahh no words can describe how much i love this song, these guys, or this video. They are all BEYOND amazing <3 :)

[mrturbo12345]

This song makes me miss the dead farret too, I miss the origianal them from their almost here cd, though this is my favorit song by them...it makes me want to cry:):( I love the cd "Fast times..." though, that brought back the talent from "Almost here" they lost during "Santi"

[terraheartnova1]

nice

[rotc1515]

i would love to see the whole video of the butcher destroying is set

does anyone have it? or was anyone in the crowd who filmed it have it?

[mrturbo12345]

I'm pretty sure it is on Friends or enemies if not just look at their tour vids on tAI tv

[music18291]

this video makes me miss the dead ferret

thanks siska.

[Mitchii96]

oh my god! i adore these guys. this video is so.... what's the word? more than awesome. my favorite: 2:29 - 2:40 i love to watch how they play. the most talented band.

[MrTibonomefixe]

LOL give me a break, they r good, but no way on earth they r the most talented band.

[Mitchii96]

@MrTibonomefixe alright. but for me they are the best. :)

[phantomacademy22]

[TAI921]

i LOVE this song

this is my favorite song by TAI

♥♥♥

[MirrorMyThoughtsx]

I adore this song

I really think it should have made it onto Santi

[panicfanatic13]

i could almost feel how hard and tiring and happy and satisfying the tour is while watching this.

[samxcool]

I absolutely adore this song. Every time I hear it, I choke up & the video always does the same to me. I love the end how they're destroying the set. Jack did an incredible job with this video.<3

[frankieXdinos]

I agree, this is my second favorite TAI song, this song is just...gosh, it's perfect.

[panicfanatic13]

i feel the same way every time i hear it. i swear, one time, i cried full tears while listening to the song. o.o i'm pathetic.

[monsterluver11]

jack did an terrific job on this video.

its my favorite video they've done.

[fairyari]

Butcher's pants remind me of a pair of pants I had in 7th grade, man I miss those pants

[thejokermakeup]

I wish I would have been the one who caught the drum mallet Butcher through at the end.

[exit152tbs]

i love this song. and i love this video.

doesn't it make you wish that this song was written about you?

[morbidmoshpitx]

yeah!

[Omnigabanti]

I absaloutley adore your username!

[cacarazymary]

[Nerosdecay23]

[viCstyLe7]

Haha Bill's ass.

You perv, but I gotta agree with you haha!

[HumbrgrZumby]

@QueeenxPiratexxx my thoughts exactly :)

[QueeenxPiratexxx]

@HumbrgrZumby Its funny, I just got your reply, and I wrote that about two years ago and it's the highest rated comment. Made my life right there hahahahah

[HumbrgrZumby]

@QueeenxPiratexxx yeah i'm kinda sad because tai... doesnt have any new videos or updates v.v

i'm just waiting...patiently...like a creeper o.o

[StopLatualukuCrap]

lmao...sisky looks mildly retarded

i mean that in the best way possible

[brendon0293]

well, great video..

TAI rocks!

[billyRwicked]

i love TAI, but Bills dance at :40 i LOVE it!! I tried to learn it, cant do it!! well I can, everyone can but it doesnt have the same effect. I donno. But ♥ TAI

[EmElle88]

lol, he does a little 2-step type thing in one of my videos that I try to copy, but alas... I love watching him do it more than me doing it anyway =P

[panicislove10512]

at 2:39 william was like flying!!

[InkyRoC22]

is this on santi??

[imbakonyourscreen]

nope, didnt make the cut... i have no idea why cause its better than any of the other songs

[InkyRoC22]

oh thats sucks this is like one of my fav songs by them =( but thank you for answering =)

[Rut471]

"You say you don't believe in science. You're always afraid of what you can't control" I love those lyrics, so much. <3

[XxandywayxX]

does william sahev his underarms??

its kinda....well, he's still sexy especial when he sings 0:40

want to see them so desperatly in live!!!

[xoxprettyxinxpunkxox]

I'm going to see them on October 25th...It's going to be the highlight of forever. My first concert, and it'll be The Academy Is... my first concert was going to be Rancid, but it got cancelled :(

[koopinFOBnMCR]

U LUCKY THING!

[couchapplemorgan]

HEY HEY HEY.

you better back off my girl sunny day or i will send an army of one thousand vampires, flying monkeys, and flesh eating monsters on your door step. if you have nothing better to do than leave mean comments to mah frahnd then you are a loser. (hahaha and i have nothing better to do than post this) in my opinion tai is major suckage now and i agree with her.

so you can just go to town if you've got a problem with other opinions. cause not everyone is gonna LUV DIZ BAND!!!11 thank you

[sunnydayXrealestate]

lmao i love you so much

[lovlee1893]

I love this song soo much. seriously, one of my favorite songs off any of TAI's albums. even though it never really made it on to Santi. but nevermind that!

anyway- this is sort of random, but does anyone in TAI smoke besides the Butcher? i've wondered that since I first saw this video (quite a while ago xD)

[ThugLady]

yea mike C

[gochulord]

heh i dont think so

[CourtneyKeroscene]

Mike Carden does.

[sunnydayXrealestate]

This song is even more depressing now, turn anything off Almost Here or this song on and then put on anything off Fast Times, it's a shame really what TAI's music has become... it's boring and hardly recognizable

[blackholexsun]

i agree, almost here and santi are two of my favorite albums of all time. fast times is just kind of...ugh

[vck95135]

i feel the same 100%

wtf @ thumbs down for your comments.

-_-

[CourtneyKeroscene]

fuck off, dumb bitch.

You can say you think TAI's new album is boring, but you cant say it IS.

I love the new TAI album.

Keep your bitching to yourself, and dont call yourself a fan.

[sunnydayXrealestate]

wow, bitter much?

I never said I was a fan. (anymore, at least)

and is it really your business to pay attention to how i feel about certain types of music?

[nevertoolate90]

Wayt, you don't like them anymore cuz of the new album, isn't that kinda harsh?

It's a little tough for them to please every single fan they have you know.

Take a breather.

[sunnydayXrealestate]

not necessarily. my musical tastes have basically changed drastically over the last few months and while i still appreciate and adore almost here and santi, i'm no longer the devoted fan i once was. haha. fast times kinda convinced me there was no reason to renew my slh membership and go to their shows and hear the new stuff, which is definitely not the TAI i fell in love with three years ago.

and besides, fast times will get them tons more fans, i'm sure. what's the loss of one matter?

[nevertoolate90]

oh yeah, I get that

but just having former 'fans' badmouth them is not good.

that bugs me.

If you aren't completely devoted, and really love them, even if they change, well that's ur problem

but don't go on TAI vids saying crappy things is all.

I don't do that with bands I used to like but don't anymore.

it's childish and a waste of time.

[sunnydayXrealestate]

oh okay, so you're saying that me expressing my feelings on the band's drastic change of sound and lyrical content is equivalent to "going on tai vids saying crappy things" ?

sorry, i'll keep that in mind the next time i feel like comparing two songs. thanks for the warning. i would hate to waste my time. :)

[cacarazymary]

you express my feeling!

[sunnydayXrealestate]

thank you courtney keroscene

now i will keep my mouth shut.

[vck95135]

courtney...

i'm a long-term tai fan

and fast times is definately not my favorite album, and i can't even force myself to love it as much as i love all of the the others.

tai is my favorite band and i love them to death, but serisouly... just because somebody thinks the latest album is boring or whatever, doesn't mean they're not a real fan, so suck it.

[kunoichi159]

I love this song!!!

I need it so bad!!!

but stupid itunes is being stupid and not letting me download it!!! I don't know why... but I'm going to keep trying!!!

TAI is my absoute favorite band ever~!

The new cd is amazing too^^

<3

[CobraStarshipIsLife]

i love these type of songs.

they make no sense but yet

they make more sense than

anything surrounding you.

[drew2012]

deep...

[CobraStarshipIsLife]

thank you.

somehow anything i say comes

out with the impression that

it's "deep".

... not really.

[kirsty2104]

omg, i love this song!!!!

i d-loaded the vid as a podcast...but i want the song!!!

wait, I NEED THE SONG!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!

[GrobaniteLove]

I love this song. On the SWG tour, Bill was like, This song is really rare...so I give you permission to go on the internet and download it.

Good times. xD

[shockzrock]

i wanna make songs like this

these guys are like the next U2

[thesuzymonster]

lyrical and musical perfection.

[chyeahhmannnn41]

ahaha william is so dorky ay :41 :D

[NeonAviators]

I love the tour videos, they seem so personal.

And Sisky's hair is hilarious!

The Academy Is... Amazing!!!!

[fobfanatica]

that was a cocky move.

real fans dont profess love by how many virtual hearts you can give the artist.

[CobraStarshipIsLife]

was that to me? :S

because what i said i was meant to be good.

this is my favourite song by TAI and i'd never disrespect them in anyway.

hence: "i love these type of songs."

but if that wasn't to me then forget

i even replied to you lol. but i'd still

like whoever gave my comment 2 thumbs

down to know that.

[CobraStarshipIsLife]

and then i get 2 thumbs up

right after i say that...

[sourbottlebabiegirl]

you can download this video from itunes for free because its a podcast.

[cobrahhhh]

can't even explain how amazing

[autumnmattea]

wow ive never heard this song before. i thought it was new...lol. i love the video. its adorable.

[sweetunvalentine]

I'm gonna sound stupid.. What's B-Side? LMAO.

[CobraStarshipIsLife]

i think it means it's one of the

songs that didn't make it onto

their album Santi.

but thats just a guess lmao.

[Zacfreak9]

i LOVE this song! william beckett says its his favorite song 2 perform.

[limegreenqween14]

the best TAI song so far.

[rockfairy88]

i love this band and song and video!!!!

y must this song be a B-SIDE!?

[AngelicAcid453]

this video is free on there! same with the video same blood. i love this band. good thing they have podcast of there own yes!

[harlaquingirl7]

This is the absolute best song from Santi. I listen to it nonstop. Amazing! Love The Academy Is...

AND THEY'RE COMING HERE!!! OMFG!!! Nobody EVER comes to Montana!!! *screams*

[gdmcraarciwwaf]

i hope i get to see them at warped, do they get to play their whole album at warped? and are they playing just santi songs?

[shikamaru1fan]

Nah, they don't get to play their whole album at Warped because they only have 30 minutes to play, and so does every band too.

They play songs from Santi and Almost Here, and some new songs.

[MichelleLuvsPATD]

they play songs from,Almost Here And Santi. And they usally play two new songs, "About A Girl" and "Summer Hair=Forever Young" they only get a 30minute set.-all bands do.

[limegreenqween14]

pleease tell me they played this on warped.

[MichelleLuvsPATD]

): At Venutra,no.and yes,this is one of the best TAi ever(my thoughts)

i wanted them to play it,but we got two new songs,which i enjoyed.

if your going to warped,you should still see them.

[gdmcraarciwwaf]

oh, okay thanks!!!

[xRougex7]

I think all their videos are great, but this one's special.

Jack did one hell of a job with this.

It really just shows the guys for who they are. (:

[thesuzymonster]

this video is amazing. i love all those boys so much. =D

[gdmcraarciwwaf]

this is such a cute video, they are all smiling, i love it! also at 1:00 who's butt is that?

[thesuzymonster]

[luvsyafob]
