Black Tide on Q101 WKQX Chicago 101.1

[xXMsStJimmyXx]

This was way back when I first got into them. Always fun for me to look back and see how far these guys have come.

[rocker24bb42]

god damn if you people would pay attention. HE WAS 15-16 WHEN THEY DID THERE FIRST ALBUM. Before he was fully through PUBERTY. He is now 18. When you hit that, like most of you havn't/wont, your voice gets DEEPER. Therefor, HE CANNOT SING LIKE HE DID ON THE FIRST ALBUM. So they changed the music to fit the vocals. I love the new shit and old shit. Quit fucking hating and gtfo if you dont like them

[Ryoku1989]

@rocker24bb42 *their

Also, they could've easily changed the vocal style without totally changing the music; singing an octave down would've worked just fine

[scott2victory]

they have come a long way. their new stuff is progress and its something that all bands go through. these guys put so much time and passion into their music and carry it well.

people say the same damn thing like 'oh theyve gone shitty now' 'old stuff was better' 'why did he change the vocals'

maybe its cos theyve grown up?! life goes on, new ideas come into play, styles change. its still Black Tide. be a fan, get a grip and just be open to their new ideas.

as a fellow musican, i salute you!

[ozzyblyth]

band with potential and now there another shitty modern band

[estikisan]

@ozzyblyth Dude I like the old shit better than the new..

But lots of bands that sound modern and are really good.I now that there are very bad bands these days, but dont judge a band for not sounding 80s heavy, or thrash metal. originality, spirit, and technic is what you see in a band..

[xXChristianOttXx]

this band might not be the best ever but its these bands that will make uproar 2011 amazing

[georgiemetallica]

This is my fav song atm, wish they were still like this. Their new stuff isnt bad though

[555slipknot6sic6]

@georgiemetallica this band are god awful

[fromrazorstorosaries]

I HATE that people keep saying STOP BITCHING..... It's called an "Opinion" and many people have different views than you. If you don't like it then shut the fuck up and ignore them, it's that simple.

[EnjoiYourLoss]

Got an autograph from guitar player

[staco3micho]

Ther is no problem with his voice,,, I love the chance... Some times ther has to be a change to make things better you know.. :)

[hellkitty1011]

@staco3micho plus he got older and couldnt sing like that anymore

[JackClassical]

Such a good voice to be wasted on a Metallica wanna be band

[KeezzyFresh]

This the Gabriel before warped tour, if you look at girl problems video you'll see that warped our fucked him the hell up

@browny9797 Schecter

[Metalizationer]

i think that the panix is more of punk with some of thier stuff and i really hope black tide gets some help to stay more like this and not revert to the shit that alot of kids my age would like............" PLEASE BLACK TIDE STAY METAL" send something like this to ALL their videos.... or tell them not to be emo stay away from screamo!!!! with the few metal heads left in the world maybe we can help them...

[TheBerky86]

@Metalizationer We.....failed.....its too late there gone.

@Borraskosa

You're welcome:) 

[FutureWarhead]

they ned to start doing what metallica did and start capturing what they do live on a cd then they'll be better live coz Gabe isn't the best live

[cucollins12]

awfull vocals

[franticmetal]

Gabriel Garcia the perfect vocal

[justkidding72]

he says world like...wald. lol

[jojoshua]

superb riffs....

[007Mechanix]

Check Out The Panix!

[maximuminusy]

Wow! Like j-rock!

[produccionesmiranejo]

the begining sounded like megadeth

[Joerockkk]

i think than it's much better in original voice of gabriel,than the voice of studio...

[bandalanif]

/watch?v=vNvsMWzcb-E

[johnnylgr11]

wow thats fuckin gay

[Kaaybeee]

i love the vocals in this version. sure its lower but its still wicked. gabriel was a wicked voice regardless of the height.

[Whathuhwhowhere]

does anyone else think its stupid apart from the whole singing situation now, that its stupid hwo they took out all of alex's parts i dont think ive seen a live performance yet where austin plays what alex did

[m3rcy616]

No, I think it's stupid when people bitch about everything.

Alex mainly did the rhythm parts, and only had two solos out of the whole album.

They havn't taken anything out, might have changing things around, but that's cause they're toying with songs to get them to flow better now.

[Whathuhwhowhere]

Nah theres a few riffs here and there that are harmonies or just simple things over top i still havent heard in the live performance but either way gabriel doesnt even sing or finish the lyrics anymore so it might just be the whole "shock" factor of a live show their going for - i dont think it works personally but whatever

[m3rcy616]

They still do harmonies dude.

As for the not finishing lyrics part, that may just be part laziness, and a way to involve the crowd.

I mean, they did do Warped all summer, I'd get lazy at points too.

As for Austin not doing the exact same things as Lex: stylistic differences, I'm sure.

They don't necessarily have the same playing style, so he's not going to be doing the exact same things.

[m3rcy616]

oops. I mean might have changed.

typo.

[XXXHardStephXXX]

GREAT YEAH!!!!!!

[GGTopGuitarist]

fuckin sweeet, they'll be sorted with a new album that suits the guys new voice

[fallfirepanicromance]

Gabriel's voice is good here...but one question....

WHY THE HELL IS ZAKK NOT LEAD SINGER? HIS VOICE IS AMAZING.

[ghostbuster323]

People wouldn't think it but its easier to play guitar and sing at the same time instead of bass and singing.

[narutoboy2010]

Slayer's singer played bass and sang

[Vguitar777]

well it depends of what kind of song you´re playin´but yeah in this case is harder with a bass

[DiamondsTurnToSand]

Yeah he should definately have at least half the vocals hes awesome :D.

[DawsonWP]

yea i think the bassist should sing for them now that the lead singers voice is deeper

[DiamondsTurnToSand]

yeahhh or the lead singer should get lessons so he can reach those high notes again.

[DirkDiggler67]

Bass player's the coolest for sure

[wrokjon]

nah it was alex

[Whathuhwhowhere]

Man they were fairly good here wtf happened with fucking warped tour come on

[Kaaybeee]

actually i really like his voice here.

His voic ewas still really nice after it broke. But when he started screaming, thats where things went wrong. But im hoping that was only cause they were on warped tour.

[claniraq]

this is so unbelievably bad

[thevicious007]

Only if he still sang like this... all he does now is scream.

[roylaiho]

@thevicious007 yeah..we want the first black tide style=)

[1falconeye2]

@thevicious007 Yeah too bad! Even my kid thought at first they were great rock and vocals, but now...vocals are copies of these "screamo bands". It's like in the 80's, all of a sudden many many great groups became this "bubble gum crap glam rock"; they copied the rest! Only a few remained strong, like Dio, Maiden, Ozzy, etc. Metallica went downhill in the 90's but came back strong w/Death Magnetic. Though this band is young, maybe they'll try to be original again, and not copycats...hopefully!!

[estikisan]

@1falconeye2 death magnetic is shit worse metallica album.

[thesum41s]

@estikisan I'd have to disagree with you on that one, the order is St. Anger then Death Magnetic in the shitiest metallica album list.

[111Freeman777]

@thevicious007 he doesn't just "scream" he also sings, and there might be some screaming now but Zakk also helps with those

and it's what he wants to do because it's his music so if you don't like it, don't bitch about it

[MusiChick213]

@thevicious007 if you watch the new songs being preformed you would see that Gabe is still singing, Zakk is the one screaming for the back up vocals

[slash1128]

@thevicious007 lol no he doesnt

[bigshlang123]

there not good here... on cd sounds good... wut studios can do

[NPTHRILEY1]

the panix is fucking sick!!! fuck black tide

[megamoc]

If you hate black tide, why did you just watch this?

And don't even think of saying "cause i wasnt expecting this" when the title is literaly named as 'Black Tide'.

[thevicious007]

Black tide is good...but you guys have to check out the panix! Killer band!

[r0m3r12]

shut up the lead singer is good o.O WTF?

[Ajepson2]

His voice is not that great live.

[maryzoldarrell]

hahahaha (L)(L)

me encattaaa (H)

[sonicfanman]

wow, the singer sux ass in real life

[KIRAyagami610]

this was a while ago he went through puberty thank god LOL

[johnnypunk182]

A banda eh boa soh falta ser melhor ao vivo neh XDD ta completamente diferente do cd heuaheuaheuhae

[iannapoleon16]

Ronaldo !!

Brilha muito no corinthians xD~

[MrRaymetal]

cool

[cristian2001]

break down is da shit!!

[zombiekillenspartan]

yeah the bass layer does look like geddy lee

[galvinibau]

actualy those guys do better ... its just tat no 1 support them... i like them playing eventho never saw them playing... i've heard n watch them... but only from youtube...

[drockmuthafucka]

does the bassist remind anyone else of geddy lee?

[AztekPB123]

Haha, a bit yeah - needs smaller glasses though.

[rocker24bb42]

is that alex on guitar?

[moggierabbit]

I really wanted to see them, there set was rained out last summer 08' in albq. N.M.

[Niixx3]

hell yaa metallica is way better.

you can't really feel any energy coming from their music.. -.-

[juanp0093]

try looking for a good live version. you can feel the energy there, not here when they're playing in a studio.. just give them a chance

[roskolizzygurl]

Im not gonna take sides, but Black Tide is my favorite band.And I think Black Tide and Metallica kick ass.

[JubeyMonster]

Metallica is overrated? I'm sure the record sales are indicative... Black Tide regard 'tallica as an influence for that matter...

[Angelo9206]

Black Tide is much better than metallica, metallica is shit, fuck off metallica.

[sebas9232]

you cant compare a band who has done it all to a couple teenagers starting to play music.... i like both nands but you cant do that... metallica is legendary.. black tide has potentioal to become legendary

[Angelo9206]

if you can compare the two bands, bring similar riffs, but there is clear difference of almost 20 years, and although they had Black Tide influences of metallica, they will become 20 times better than metallica.

[magu0117]

i wont even bother argue with you, as you seem to be mentaly disturbed.....How the fuck can you say blacktide kicks metallica ass? Fucking lunatic.

[Angelo9206]

appears to be an idiot not heard otherwise qe metallica is not, right?, stupid, metallica has long ceased to play well, from the black album shit, they have declined so much, yet is Black Tide improvement, and other types of music listening,stupid , jajaja, VIVA Megadeth, that if a band

[CinnamonBuns9]

Metallica is one of the most overrated piece of shit bands ever. Seriously, they don't have any talent, they're songs are 7 minutes of the same riff over and over, there's no variety in their music.

[oscar1901]

you cans suck my dick !! i dont think you can write a riff like them so shut up

[CinnamonBuns9]

Well that's an opinion, I've actually written hundreds of riffs and songs, they seriously just use the same power chords over and over again, it's redundant, they have no variety what-so-ever.

[stban932]

jajajaja

...and you like this??

and Megadeth?

[N4o4N]

bullshit. I'll tell you who is overrated: Guns N' Roses. I fucking hate slash. All he does is Pentatonic scale over and over. At least Kirk plays phrygian mode every once in a while.

[lespaul084]

what are you talking about? are you crazy? "overrated", "they don't have any talent", man seriously, do you know something about music? most of the bands like this has a great influences of metallica, most of them love playing metallica covers.

[GuitarAtict101]

im prob gonna see them aug 3 and 4 in st louis

[hoang1428]

this song and shockwave sounds like metallica seek and destroy??

[nutterkid345]

this lead guitarist is better than the new one

[007Mechanix]

@nutterkid345

I know this is an old comment, but If you haven't checked out The Panix(you probably have) you should.

They kickass!

[Ozzygirl52301]

hey if u like this band look up CROOKED X the are 14 but they kick ass just like BLACK TIDE

[MattDylan420]

Nah MTV bands are not good.

[Catarinaxx]

metallica is on mtv

[Kaaybeee]

I actually really like his voice here.

Sounds real good.

Good luck with recording the new album this summer guys! Hope to see some of your older songs from when you were younger added..maybe? :d haha

[buffhockey47]

New album!?!? What's it called?

[Kaaybeee]

No idea bro!

But you'll find out soon probably ;]

Should be cool! hey're recording this summer, about a month before they go on the Warped Tour :)

[aCleverScreenName]

i wonder if he is going to sing in a high octive like in LFA or if hes going to sing in a lower octive like he does live.

[Kaaybeee]

His voice has changed since being an early 14 year old. So probably low.

Listen to their prowler cover for an idea of how his voice will sound, but you probably heard that alrready

[staggy30]

they got rid of alex :O why??

[mcface5531]

saw them yesterday with trivium, they rocked so hard. fucking awesome

[ElitheNinja900]

Bad ass band and song

[yaug]

clarification at 2:21 is the stormbringer sounding riff

[yaug]

they are very awesome but that riffs sounded like stormbringer frome deep purple. this band is awesome

[thebeatles8267]

dude he turned 16 in November 7th

[Dan9271]

i hope these guys are the next dream theater.

[pembunuhsyaitan]

yeahh good....but the solo is very simple...

but is still ok!!

[DioMarti]

nice shit, not very technical but great for their age. This reminds me of Guns n Roses. Cool shit

[toonamithae]

que buenos son O:O

[ironalexx]

how is said in my countri

SOIS LOS PUTOS AMOS

[AngelOfDeath1897]

I'm jealous :P

but they're really talented for their age.

[selesher]

What? No!

Man, he's great, his vocals fits the music perfectly.

[boymeetworld123]

how old is the singer?

[gothqueenlovesu]

hes 16

[frosticlez]

i saw their guitarist's band the panix and they rocked, i didn't know this was his old band. i was just going to see my friend's band play, but got a whole other show

[stealawaythenight05]

i like this song. I like the drummer's playing. I like the way the guitar sounds. I like both of their voices and i like them as a band. I think they're great. They're barely starting, you guys need to give them a break. I'm sure they'll get so good soon that they'll kick your ass. I think they are worth me spending my money and time on.

[PaperLanterns003]

everyone started small,even Slayer or Metallica and stuff...,I think these guys really can reach something,they really could grow bigger. But I think that they re not agressive enough yet. The Drums are a bit lame,yeah, and as i already said: not agressive enough. But I m still very impressed of them,they actually are fuckin good and I really like them

[anarylovesmuzzikk]

2:26 orgasm :o

hahahahahhhahaa
