The Ataris - So Long Astoria Live

[ichewoncouches]

I lived in Astoria. Its a nice place.

[WatchMeRise10]

Soo good.

[starsignsunshine]

Astoria is in on the coast of Oregon, USA. It's gorgeous! Also where the movie Goonies was filmed, thats what a lot of this song is about.

[666afflicted]

can someone please tell me where Astoria is?

[vinnie01]

@666afflicted i always thought it was in canada or something....

[Xenda]

I discovered these guys way back in 1999 and have been loving their music ever since. Listening to this takes me back to my teenage years great stuff!

[KenneyTDAGARIM]

@keviingarcia cool comment.

[IAVAIN]

@keviingarcia  yeah cos nobody noticed you put that shitty all time low in there :@

[666afflicted]

@keviingarcia why is justin bieber in there? are you trying to be a troll?

[BartleDoo2009]

chris swinney who was a replacement guitar player is now my bands general manager. Tailgunner be the name, and metal is our game

[JasonVochal]

This fucking video is FLAWLESS! WOW! I'm fucking speechless! This is what musicians need to STRIVE to become in this DAY AND AGE!!!!!!

[chickenbeforeegg]

the drummer kinda looks like a young jimmy sullivan xD

[Euchocoi]

i think...roe's d 2nd version of hendrix

[xinthisdiaryx]

@Euchocoi nah bro. Kris beats hendrix, Hendrix restrings his guitar to be left handed, kris leaves it alone. BAMF

[crazypunkrasta]

@xinthisdiaryx dude hendrix did the same thing the difiirence is jini could play it flipped normal left hand and right hand kris can only play it flipped

[kkatrinamorenoo]

Wow, they sound EXACTLY like they do on their album. Such a good performance!

[MrGuddaville]

"this is my wish...n im takin it bak,im takin em all bak" god i love The Goonies,,

[music4life1496]

Gotta love the flipped guitar

[mattaki]

maybe music was better seven years ago.

[J4miboy]

@mattaki this is my all time favourite song, but the music is still great, you should try their two new songs: all soul's day and graveyard of the atlantic

[mattaki]

@J4miboy i did, and they're kick ass!

[jmorris724]

@mattaki hell yeah it was. ataris, smile empty soul, AAR...list goes on and on, my man.

[ENDofaugust100]

He's playing like Jimi Hendrix :D Awesome!

[WeareGenovese]

@ENDofaugust100 Almost, but Jimi strung his guitar for a left hander, Kris just plays a right hander upside down/the other way round, so the strings are back to front.

[crazypunkrasta]

@WeareGenovese he didnt string it he did the same as kris

[xxmarkusrjxx]

Sometimes i still see myself . in that lonesome bedroom playin my guitar...

[sclark215]

Everything about this band is great... From the old shit to new no matter what they will always be blessed... And kris Roe is a Fucking musical genius.

[Japanfan4saken]

Its funny u mention Swine Flu. Cuz I saw them at Bamboozle right at the peak of the Swine Flu mess, May 2009 lol Us Americans dont care much for caution I guess XD

[ZebraheadMF]

@Japanfan4saken Your a lucky git then! ahha

[simoroberts1]

@Japanfan4saken Then why did Americans freak out about Mad Cow and SARS.

[chocospaz]

I Really wanted to see them :( Had tickets bout a year ago but got a phone call few hours before saying it was cancelled because of swine flu... They haven't done an england tour since

[GhostRider247]

Just fukin out of this world ...

[Danz069]

FUCKING LOVE THE ATARIS MONTREAL 2010

[ichiban308]

"So long, Astoria. I found a map to buried treasure and even if we come home empty handed. we'll still have our stories, battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts, broken bones and all the best of friendships. and when this hourglass filters out it's final grain of sand, I'll raise my glass to the memories we had. this is my wish and i'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back." fucking epic. Seeing them tomorrow in Houston.

[erbomb1]

I'm dying to see them live... Wish they came to Sweden!

[bleeding1mascara]

OMG i wish i can go to the concert, as long as they dont play the new gay s hit, they need to move back to the old stuff, It makes me think they are a sellout.

[oregonmedical420]

Astoria oregon lol is unfortunately my hometown Where the goonies Was Filmed and they are acctually singing about the goonies LOL they recorded this song for the first time in the walsh house in which the movie started.... With this said;p HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY YYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUU GUUUUYYYYYSS

[djjinxie]

@oregonmedical420 Although Kris is using some of the lines from the movie the song is not really about goonies. Its his memories from growing up in Anderson.

[djjinxie]

[lesiu52cm]

i love it !!!!!!

love,love <3

[loeher182]

why aren't there videos of their other songs? they couldn't possibly have performed only one song on warped, could they?

[rabbit221]

@loeher182 This is from a Warped '03 DVD. Each band on it only had one song. I still have mine and watch it all the time haha, Rufio's performance of Above Me is amazing

[levelupcrew]

they're awesome live!

[Ltjrevival]

The singer looks and sings like a beast

[JoeyPezoa]

so aggresive, ataris are sick

[RacoonCH]

out of synch :(

[pancakepuddle]

this is easily the best sounding version I've heard to date! epic!

[cexzi22]

he looks like quinn from the used alot. lol just pointing that out. anyone else think so?

[pancakepuddle]

perhaps a post-apocalyptic version.. ?

[2cita05]

omg this souns like the anthem to my life rite

[Blake1985]

[bezinteresownie]

Taki koncert to marzenie mojego życia:D super! świetnie grają^^

[5U64RC4K35]

What an awesome performence.

[MmisterPinkston]

the lead singer plays upside down.

his strings aren't set up for left hand.

[Kingwood000]

@MmisterPinkston you're right, thats pretty awesome!

[Jwadmoney]

Being from Astoria I would always play this song leaving my hometown.

[josephmndoza]

ooo por fin los vere en lima - Perú el 25-07-09 =D

[joaomed]

kris is a awesome person, when he comes to brazil in 2006, amazing guy

[Edpunkrocker90]

WARPED TOUR 2009!!!!!!!!

[scottypash]

it was so cool meeting Kris in January :)

[Ryo737]

In my school, my band become popular cuz my band sing this song..

Thanks Kris Roe, you're my inspiration

[thizzney]

i agree with Daraxiel,in debate class,we had a debate on whos a hero or a hero figured to yu,and i picked Kris,since everything he says has a positive image and he cares about his fans and the world at that,hes just an all around great person

[supermeuhx]

trop hate au vans!!! stannée the ataris sont lahh!!!! 2009|

[Daraxiel]

love Kris Roe, to me he's a lyrical genius. thanks to him I started playing guitar which by now eats every single second of my freetime. true hero!

[mustafa3105]

HEY that's the version from live at the Metro!!! WTF is going on?

[Edis]

i wanna see them here, perform live :|

[ajparcell]

now that is a fucking live performance!

put that next to tom delongs live performance haha,

tom is hopeless

[uselessidguy331]

I'm not sure that The Ataris and Blink 182 can even really be compared. Roe's lyrical capacity so-far transcends anything from Blink 182, it's almost paradoxical (although the bands both do have their parallels, too). Kris Roe always has been the most genuine, sincere lyricist, vocalist, and performer to have come out of that big pop-punk scene from the late 90's.

[elementbeaver]

angels and airwaves definitely has some outstanding lyrical music

[Polter5]

@uselessidguy331 i gree very much

[jrack13]

@uselessidguy331 he is the nicest guy too, i saw him on his acoustic tour and had a chance to talk to him

[AvrilRosmery]

this is my wish :D

[losingmymind14]

take it all back. :)

[larrylanz]

playing my guitar and singing songs of hope for a better future!!! (8)

[guitarestjames]

so why u watching their videos then?? :S

[JasonLorelei]

This sounds a lot like the version from Live at the Metro...

[DoctorVonScience]

Man, the lyrics can bring tears to my eyes. Honestly. If talent were Gold, The Ataris, and Kris Roe especially, would be King fucking Midas.

The Ataris. I love you bastards.

[sessiondayz]

fucking rock

[twoguysandashow]

WARPED TOUR LOL

[fvs182]

AMAZING!!! omg such a great performance!!

[fenixtx311]

Best song ever

[lespaul457]

hes running outat breath lol, but hes amazing live, thought he wudbe crap,

[usedunicorn4sale]

this is my favorite Ataris song in the whole entire universe!

it makes me think a lot about life and how the memories in it are really gone faster than the smell after it rains.

so nostalgic...lol.

[BloodyRomance3]

this song is partly about the goonies because with the small towns how theirs was being torn apart so they are taking back wat belong to them. And find a map.. they will still have the pirate ship from with the guy on it.. and when he says this is my wish and im taking it back, im taking them all back

weird.

[nickpotkovac]

I LOVE the Ataris

[jesseramoneman]

this is kinda like the theme song to my life haha

[idislikethissomuch]

pro?..Do you mean mainstream?...They are rather mainstream...

[exkres]

wtf is this saying they should go pro? the ataris have been "pro." do some research, they've been around since 1995.

[hornstar21]

I mean they should be more reconised not many people in australia have heard them man only me and my mates have heard of em in a town of 10,000 people

[deathmokey]

...so you've asked every single person... quite the feat

[nothinisavailable]

man u dnt understand what small towns are like ey, i mean when u live in one for a while your bound to talk to or know someone who's talked to or whatever, pretty much everyone in town. more than half the people in my town have never heard of metallica... so yeh....

[iheartmyflipflops]

seriously? you really knocked on 10,000 peoples doors and said "have you heard of the ataris?".

[poprocksandbeer]

so long Astoria, i found a map of buried treasure, even if we come home emptied handed, we'll still have our a STORIES, of battle scars, Pirateships, wounded hearts, broken bones, and all the best of friendships, and when this HOUR GLASS FILTERS OUT its final grain of sand, ill raise my glass to the memories we've had, this is my WISH, im takin back!! im takin them all back....
