Welcome to Chiodos, Brandon Bolmer

[zeek4321productions]

I love the moshpit at 1:28 LOL

They look like theyre just randomly flailing their arms around ._.

[braxnond]

well, DRUGS is doing real well...

[heartlessdanny]

i tottaly respect Brandon dudes talented but its funny to see people sayin ooh Craig is waay better but its Craigs fault hes out of the band.Brandons is a great replacement for Chiodos!

[zXz0mb13Xz]

srry to say but craig was kind of a pussy and a lil bitch, brandon over here is the shit, i like old chiodos, but seriously there even better now, like those who slay together, stay together is just an amazing as hell song

[MattMan12BroDuh]

Brandon is a lot better than i thought. i would've made the same choice, Chiodos.

[maggg92]

CRAIG OR GTFO!

[rkjyo791]

@maggg92 that was a really original comment. 

[heartlessdanny]

@maggg92 dude srsly its criags fault hes out of the band for being a douche and this new Chiodos is just as good without Craig im sorry im a fan of Craig but we gotta move on its part of life

[ESrocker666]

that crowd didnt even open up the fuckin pit

[HitOrMissPictures]

And before anyone says anything, i do like Chiodos and craigs new band D.R.U.G.S

[HitOrMissPictures]

@jonov123 Something like he was fighting with The pianist Bradley Bell, and he had a bit of an ego.

[LoganWGum]

@HitOrMissPictures They kicked him out because of all of his side-projects. The rest of the guys in the band had been ready to record an album for months but Craig kept putting it off.

[nmanime]

what song is that in the begining

[cameronrader92]

@nmanime Modern Wolf Hair :D

[Burr37]

i think he does a pretty kick ass job.

[Skatrbill6]

Yesterdays Rising was by far a better band than chiodos was or ever will be.

[befon]

@Skatrbill6 they were good for their age. their music was depressingly simply put together, but it was catchy. by the time they tried becoming more developed with lightworker, most of the songs on the album weren't very good. the older they got, the worse the music got =/

[Thenerdywhiteman]

I think Brandon and Craig are both very good. Craig was good for older Chiodos but i think Brandon is a step in the right direction for Chiodos

[vjself]

@Thenerdywhiteman Rock n' Roll

[imadumbass182]

i like this guy more than craig. his range might not be a wide, but i think his screams are better. plus i think craig sang to high personally /:

[smacshac]

Anyone know wut this intro is called i like it

[skeetunit14]

Modern Wolf Hair is off the intro

[crackjawfan]

@LPUndead they played the hayloft about a month ago which is local and i was there they got booed out of a hot topic as well there trying to book the modern which is a local venue and i know this cus i was at the king show in which jason hall asked about doing the chiodos show there

[LPUndead17]

@crackjawfan I don't even think they were touring a month ago so thats all bullshit. They haven't touched a stage since the Bullet tour

[izzyshreds]

brandon is way better live than craig.

[crackjawfan]

well @ascitesburn672 being i know full well what i saw they played a few songs and people started booing the second they started playing letter from jenelle. and it sad they headlined warped tour with criag and now there back to playing local venuse like the modern exchange with brandon. they've gotten rid of half there band they may as well stop being chiodos and just make another band already. watch in a year there not even gonna be a band anymore

[ascitiesburn672]

@crackjawfan with Brandon they have the potential to go places. with Craig, they did not. Craig was an elitist prick who thought of noone but himself. Brandon's vocal range does not make him sound like a girl.

[LPUndead17]

@crackjawfan lol they aren't playing local venues. Idk who lied to you

[ReTRoKiDDe]

Wow, I actually like Brandon better. I hope he doesn't go the wrong path that Linkin Park went and start cursing in their songs, or I'm not buying.....Unless they make censored. <:

[MrBlink909]

@ReTRoKiDDe , wow your fucking gay.

[ReTRoKiDDe]

@MrBlink909 No, actually, I'm straight.

[crackjawfan]

Respond to this video... this dosn't sound like undertaker revenge anymore, i was at that video shoot that song rocked this asshole is fucking up a song that i hold dear. they got booed of in detroit you know where there from. they suck cock without craig

[ascitiesburn672]

@crackjawfan they did not get booed off in Detroit dumb ass, my cousin was there and showed me pictures from their whole set. from what i hear, everyone likes Brandon more than Craig, and so do I. Brandon brings so much more to the table than Craig does

[madballa74]

@ascitiesburn672 you really have no idea what your talking about. not only was craig owens a great vocalist (better than Bolmer) he was also a great song writer, Brandon cant top Craig.

[ascitiesburn672]

@madballa74 Brandon does not sing like a girl, enough said

[waxitupbitch]

He screams waaaaaay better than craig!

[braxnond]

all of you need to jump off craig's cock. and if you like sitting on top of it like little bitches, stop listening to chiodos.

[R2D2]

@braxnond hahaha! :)

[devinmoody]

@braxnond brandons a good singer.. if you like a guy who sings the exact same melodies over and over again for the entire cd. I'm not even joking he sings the same notes over and opver again.. soo brutal

[CameraObscene]

@braxnond

Thank you!!!!

[CockysThoughts]

@braxnond Don't worry.. most people stopped listening the day he left.

[UTCandy112]

@braxnond LMAO!!!!!!!!! I LOVE craig! But I'm also loving this new chiodos too!!! lol I think its going in the right direction the WHOLE band wanted and craigjust didn't want to go. In an interview he said "as I get older the music I listen to is getting clamer" "I'm starting to lose the moshing in my heart"!

But Brandon has an very unique voice of his own just like craig did!

[madballa74]

listen to brandon bolmer in yesterdays rising, and listen to craig owens. you idiots are wrong, craig owens is the best, brandon bolmer cant compare.

[ascitiesburn672]

@madballa74 Brandon is way better than Craig.

[madballa74]

@ascitiesburn672 maybe to someone with no taste.

[ascitiesburn672]

@madballa74 Taste has nothing to do with it. Skill and style does, Brandon 3 ups Craig in both of those departments

[wertyuri]

@madballa74 You're being a bitch

[ReTRoKiDDe]

@madballa74 .....That was years ago. Look at Craig's old voice in the EPs, it was way beyond high pitched, and gay sounding.

[berntboy]

Chiodos' unique sound was made from Craig Owens, though they won't be the same, who's to say they'll be bad? Every band evolves, the way of the beast. Get over the dumb shit, Craig is not that great of a singer anyways. Anyone can sing falsetto and whine and crackle. No offense, i do listen to them from time to time, but the band as a whole will prevail, because believe or not.  THE MUSICIANS MAKE THE BAND!

[b3th1zh4wt]

@berntboy i love you<33 x's47205742097584207

[152sith]

the part were the crowd sings was probbaly the most satisfying thing for Brandon.

[creator0dissaray]

they are still a great band but in my mind . . . its not chiodos

[TeenHorror]

@creator0dissaray thats the point

[creator0dissaray]

@TeenHorror What do u mean?

[TeenHorror]

@creator0dissaray well new singer, new style

[MySheLXD]

FUCKAWSUM SHOW♥

definitely CHIODOS, Circa Survive & Dance Gavin Dance were the shitttt♥

[MrKoolAaron]

wow people need to get over craig he's not coming back there're just going to make this band just like escape the fate, having two sides fight over better, i mean seriously he's not half bad they just need to stop bitching and realize that

[thelegendrubyrodd]

nah, this dude is good. everyone needs to realize that every other persons voice is different rather it's screaming or singing so lay the fuck off craig and brandon. theres not a certain sound or way to sing and scream other than to try not to fuck up ur vocal chords.

[TeenHorror]

i think brandon rocks tbh. but i cnt w8 for craigs new band :D

[jacobmartinMTAM]

Craigs singing voice is annoying and his screams just suck. It sounds like he tries too hard to croak when he sings and is ending notes and such. This guy sounds like he has soul in his singing, and his screams blow Owens out of the park. Plus, I heard off stage with his bandmates hes a douche. Regardless of talent, it wasnt gonna work anyways

[SeanOCasey10]

This is just so awkward.

[castro90]

Not bad at all to be completely honest.

[DSlammaTheMan]

i think this guys screams are fine. its his voice that bothers me a little

[KBOdaNITEryda]

@DSlammaTheMan agreed.

[stevensike]

Garbage. He should not be singing Craig's lyrics.

[sxesusay]

I so regret not going to this.

[reversibletaktiks302]

no one ever really talks about chiodos's drummer...that dude is narrstyyyy

oh and the singer...ehhh...look whos footprints he has to follow in

not bad tho

[SasukeOfTheLeaves]

I've never really like Chiodos until now.

You can actually hear Bradley Bell singing!!!

:D

Brandon Bolmer>Craig Owens

[ILuvMonsterNRG]

@SasukeOfTheLeaves Fuck you bitch go die. Craid Owens OWNS this bitch!

[SixFingerFilmings]

@SasukeOfTheLeaves Wow? Serously?!? Your an idiot.

[CameraObscene]

@SixFingerFilmings

Wow? Seriously? It's called an opinion, so stfu.

Personally, I thought Craig's singing voice was whiny and his screams weren't very good either.

Brandon has a really good singing voice for his gender! His screams could use some work, but I'm willing to bet now that he's in Chiodos, his screams will get a lot better.

Plus, he's filling in for Craig. He's probably nervous as fuck. I would be...

[xtmountainlionx]

I personally think he can sing the old Chiodos songs better than Craig.

[martelhammer777]

the way i see it, a new vocalist is a new direction for a band. and this may be a positive direction. Craig is a sick vocalist not gunna lie, but SKSK's old vocalist might do justice :D

[PPPEEETTTIIIEEE]

No matter what anyone says Chiodos is and always will be my favorite band.

[MWASOF]

sounds like hes just trying to imitate craig.

he wont be as good a craig not a real reason to go anti-chiodos though

[XDDanielDuck]

Craig Is Good..You Guys Still Wanna Hear Them Theres Iscles And Glaciers, Cinematic Sunrise And Sound Of Animals Fighting

[bamfan151]

Chiodos are gonna do fine, and so is Craigs upcoming band..... But i know ill always miss the old Chiodos, no matter what. It would be impossible for me not too lol. I will support both bands forreall, everyone just chill, this brandon kid is prtty damn talented. He may not be Craig, but hes good.

[punkrocker21194]

They're good, not going to lie, but i want to know why they kicked out the drummer :(. And we all know craig is making a new band so who cares. I want to know where derek is going

[LoveLikePoetryMusic]

People place too much emphasis on the vocalist. Chiodos is the same band with a different singer. He's not the same as Craig, they both are completely different and I enjoy them equally. Real CHIODOS fans will stick with CHIODOS, CRAIG OWENS fans are going to follow him on whatever he does.

[KSE828]

Live intro??

[horsracing]

brandon is definitely a different style than craig, but he is an amazing vocalist. he also has a very solid scream and performs well live.

[saofan24]

I can't lie I never really cared for chiodos but now that Brandon Bolmer is in it maybe they can get a second shot

[McCawPenisJab]

I think it's the fact that he can't get the soft vocals like Craig can.

Instead, his vocals get more rough.

Other than that, he's okay...

[roycehellion]

terrible. chiodos are dead to me

[noellimx]

brandon is like some fucking crazy guy wtf he is good

[Bartle16]

i love brandon already...i loved craig but i feel that brandon is a great substitute and i love his style of singing some of these lyrics

[ASDmike]

Awesome new singer!

[SpencaDrum]

Don't get me wrong. I know we all miss Craig...but he has his solo career and will be touring soon, according to something I read earlier.

But Brandon is doing a damn good job. Fans demand so much out of him, and I think he's doing a great job. Personally, I really love his screams as well as his voice. Both are powerful. So instead of comparing craig to brandon, let's just enjoy them for who they are.

[loofydoofy56]

fuck anaheim. DETROIT HAS MOSH PITS LIKE NO OTHER. lets go dddddddd. see you may 30th motha fuckaasss!

[CardTricks4BlindPpl]

i saw this guy fill in for scary kids on warped and he sounded just like tyson

[dudecomeon]

Chiodos was the band that got me into post-hardcore and I'm a huge Craig Owens fan, but this guy is not bad at all. He doesn't do to well in this recording isn't that good, but I saw Chiodos live last night in Greensboro, he did a great job and they're new stuff sounds awesome. I look forward to their new cd and I'm really looking forward to Craig's new band. As far as the new stuff being too hardcore, who cares? Bands change, I'm just curious to see how well they pull it off.

[MaxOnVox]

People fuck me off. Here's a few reasons why:

1. Chiodos booted Craig; Craig didn't leave.

2. Craig and Brandon are two different people, no two people sing the same. Quit saying "He doesn't sound like Craig, GTFO Chiodos" you close-minded fucks.

3. i'm pretty sure the guys in the band can decide for themselves self how hardcore they needs to be. and they're sure as hell not going to take advice from some YouTube comment, which shows arrogance towards music.

Thankyou.

[jonov123]

@MaxOnVox Why'd They Boot Him?

[MaxOnVox]

@jonov123 I did know, but i've forgotten lol.

Hit Craig Owens or Chiodos up on Wikipedia and see if there's a quote or two there to give you some indication.

[jonov123]

@MaxOnVox Kay Thnx(:

[Hoagietheperfect]

wow anaheim sucks. everyone is just standing around. Jersey was way better

[redbreast3]

In an ideal world, they would change their name from Chiodos. Not to disrespect them. I'm not saying they SHOULD, but I find it hard to listen to them now. The same thing happened with From First To Last and Sonny Moore. Looking forward to their album, and DEFINITELY looking forward to Craig's new band!

[jaybiscut07]

NO!!!!! no one is ever gonna be as good a craig! he has a good scream but sucks ass at singing.. GET THE FUCK OUT OF CHIODOS YOU ARE TURNING THEM MORE HARDCORE THAN THEY NEED TO BE!!

[XlaceratedX]

@jaybiscut07 u mad?

[jaybiscut07]

@XlaceratedX a little i dont want him fucking the band up

[XlaceratedX]

@jaybiscut07 He's not bad. stupid cunt.

[jaybiscut07]

@XlaceratedX well i dont want to insult eachother. i just liked craig alot and that would suck if he screws the band up

[devious00]

No one can sing Craig's music better than Craig, but this guy does an amazingly good job at capturing Craig's unique vocals.

All you people bitching should be happy Chiodos didn't break up due to Craig dropping the band. Be happy you can still see them live.

If you bitches love Craig so much, wait for his new band and stop listening to Chiodos. He's not worth the attention if he would drop this band.

[sherriebabyxox]

Just saw them live yesterday, they we're surprisingly a lot better then expected, new singer is great. So stfu.

[CubanVader]

All you people talking shit about a Brandon your not Chiodos fans, your Craig Owens fans

[6Hell6Blazer6]

i like brandon better

[rastajohn00]

for real you guys should have let me sing i can sing as high as craig and have a deep voice when needed bolmer sucks live

[STFUproductionz69]

Guys chill, this is his second time playing live with Chiodos, he's gunna be damn nervous. Obviously he isn't as good as Craig, but who knows, the next Chiodos album could have some pretty wicked stuff on there.

I still miss Craig, I still don't think Brandon can sing Craigs music better than Craig did, but he still goes alright, and I can't wait to hear Chiodos new music.

[TKennedy1018]

Lol why is everyone bashing the shit outta this guy...hes not as good as craig was but i think hes pretty good, just stop being bitches nd get used to change

[TheMrCabreu]

New drummer is shit

[TheGingerKid1771]

screams sound cool, but he will never match craig's voice or performance. change the name or quit imo.

[BIackop13A]

Craig is Chiodos! if you Take him out of the Band You Mind As Well Change the name Of The Band. Its Embarassing To Listen to Chiodos Now

[RedSkinNative23]

@BIackop13A

completely agree, Craig Owens was the fucking epicenter of Chiodos....and to take him out of the band should mean that they need to change the name.

this guy brandom bolmer's voice completely changes the entire music of chiodos.

[chrismoltisanti9]

@RedSkinNative23 U guys are fucking craig owens penis suckers, Chiodos was about the GROUP of amazing musicians. They are still so tight and fucking in sync with each other its ridiculous. stop being such a band frontman dick rider. do You even know the names of other band members?, yea a band consists of more than just a singer retard.

[Bojl95]

Awesome. I think he'll do fine. And all you Craig fangirls calm down. Craig's making a new band.

[ILuvMonsterNRG]

@Bojl95 No he wont do fine.

[Crustyfisherman911]

@Bojl95 that will be more progressive and better

[ZachyChann]

@Bojl95 He has like 8 other side projects he could work on.... haha

[Alegre671]

@Bojl95 he has 2 other bands and a solo act

[Bojl95]

@Alegre671 and his new band..

[AgowTisro]

@Bojl95 And the stuff he did with TSOAF.

[GWFxiPRoDiiGY]

Wow, shut the fuck up about them not being as good anymore, seriously what do you expect this guy is better then nothing..

[ILuvMonsterNRG]

@GWFxiPRoDiiGY They shouldn't even be called chiodos anymore

[hxcnoah]

@GWFxiPRoDiiGY better than nothing?

more like the best replacement for any band in a long ass time

ETF, DGD, ASD, HTD, they all got new singers and just weren't as good because of it

they will clearly be just as good if not better

[plasticweave]

no no no no no no no no no. a million times no.

[lifeagain]

ive been a fan of Brandons since yesterdays riseing came out with there first EP. he's a very talented singer. he'll do his best...

[WinstonXArilo]

Chiodos shouldn't be like everyone else and have an "intro song" everytime they play live. I mean, ADTR's "Fast Forward To 2012" is great, but Chiodos is gladly NOT ADTR. Well, they weren't. :/

[dudem19]

@WinstonXArilo its not a bad thing to have an intro....its a good performance tool. It doesnt make them like ADTR....

[SelenaJewBacaC93455]

miss craig O.O

this guy is shit _--_

[glmcgowan17]

He'll be a good replacement but the old songs just don't sound right with him singing.

[civcom12]

Can't sing for shit, but his scream is good.

[BarnacleBoy01]

he can scream but they need 2 seperate people to sing and scream now

[TheMrCabreu]

Wow this is pretty good mofo can sing

[the4saken92]

he is a really good singer/screamer but he just isn't Craig. I just wanna hear there new stuff . . . their old stuff not being song by Craig just sounds wrong . . .

[amusableromeo]

Chiodos is still alive..

Better with Craig Owens..? Is that a joke!? who wants a lead singer that does albums like Craig Owens - With Love.

Chiodos is better than ever.

[xJacobxWearsxPradax]

I always knew theyd be better with a deeper screamer.

[tipitup33]

I hate to be "that guy" but i've seen Chiodos live when Craig was still with the band.. This is soooo bad

[TomWhaley621]

Chiodos aren't exceptionally incredible musicians.. so to say any member of them "can't be replaced" is bogus. I must say, this new singer does a great job! They sound tight

[alxcapowned1]

that doesn't go as far as saying who's voice is unique or not. they even said in the interview how hard it is to find an appealing voice (in their eyes)

[EliandErickTV]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn....... Chiodos will never be the same, but it still sounds really sick!!! Their new stuff should be epic!!!!

[chikano72]

Bolmer does a good job. Craig will keep making music so calm down kids

[wWdirtysanchezMm]

What I realized watching this video is that Chiodos didn't just lose (kick) Craig, but they also lost Nick Martin since he's one of Craig's really good friends. I'm sorry but you can't replace Nick Martin.

[randywearsprada12]

@wWdirtysanchezMm well i guess its a good thing nick martin wasnt in chiodos

[YouFoldLikeATwenty]

He was never in the band you dolt.

[ocmetallicafan]

god how i wish i was there

[ANewTypeOfPunk]

He did really well. I'm stoked for new shit!

[panicmayarise]

Brandon Bolmer is the best thing to happen to Chiodos. So amazing.

[Sark2]

Good joke ^

[sbc08]

@panicmayarise wow seriously?

chiodos is nothing without craig

[chikano72]

Apparently they are =P they didnt change their name lol

[panicmayarise]

Craig is NOT Chiodos. The other members in the band are just as talented and deserve as much credit. Plus, have you heard Brandon when he was in Yesterdays Rising? He's flawless live.

[akindofmagic88]

@sbc08 Correction, Craig is nothing without Chiodos.

[SinOfANBU]

@akindofmagic88

Genius.
