The Agonist - Take A Bow

[sorrowfulful]

Cut out the screaming, it sounds so forced and to be honest scary.

[gnagarjoel]

I thought the top comment would be something with "Arrow to the knee"..

[eveningninja]

As hot as she is, it really is just a bonus because her vocals kick SO much ass haha.

[eqz666]

to the knee

[Imagistria]

It's nice to know that some people are only paying attention to her looks and the sound of her voice than understand the message she is giving out.

[devourerofbabies]

@Imagistria I'd have to go read the lyrics to get the message.

[Datoexz]

this song is so pugnacious \ m /

[JMcClanahan420]

Alissa's the whole fucking package man! Like TheDusk14 said, she sings like an angel and screams like a fucking demon and on top of that the girl is wicked fucking hot

[TheDusk14]

Holy Fucking God... She sing like an angel and SCREAMS LIKE A FUCKING DEMON!

[1970gtosd]

You should look up Quo Vadis & Kataklysm Both Canadian Death Metal !!! And many more

[johnmalory26]

I'm in love

[HellyeahFan4321]

this band is so amazing, it break the mold when it comes to death metal......Most death metal band today come from northern europe...these guys are from canada and can keep up with them

[deadeye13sniper]

I dont understand people who never stop saying (fuck the dislike) damn... everyone can have it opinion... But... HELL YEAH AGONIST RULE

sorry for the bad english

[BloodLustOfARaven]

Dear 8 people who dislike this video, fuck you. :) She is amazing and her lyrics actually mean something, unlike alot of bands today. She fits the position of my idol! I am tired of hearing all about how hot she is, we all can see her and obviously know she is hot. It is the music that matters, looks are nothing.

[imaMONSTERrawwr]

@BloodLustOfARaven well true but looks help ;)

[nancydeth]

la vieja la kaga

[jabbathedave]

shes a good screamer but she cant do clean i don't wanna hear her wine

[FINjoke]

@jabbathedave and we don't want to hear yours

[Blithed]

@jabbathedave Wow. Go home please.

[mac7727]

@jabbathedave Are you kidding?

[Amoklos123]

I LOVE THIS BAND !!!!!! !!!!!!

[BubblegumBiatchxD]

I love The Agonist, their music is fuckin' awesome. <3

[CF4LIf3]

Kill Celine Dion. Give them ALL her awards.

[DepthCharg3]

@CF4LIf3 she has awards?

[CF4LIf3]

@DepthCharg3 It's a scary thought. I know.

[TheRhua666]

i love the agonist a vocalista e muito sexy e gostosa...... fuck

[TheSantrax666]

Met them a while before at their only concert in switzerland (yes i'm swiss), they came up with Maroon, The Eyes of a Traitor and After the Burial... well i Agonist kicked serious ass :) sucks that there were not more than 30 peops around but anyway after the show i met with all of them when i bought me a shirt and got it signed by everyone and also got a pentagram painted on the back by paco

well i got i good times with them and the musicians behind the music are great aswell

KEEP IT UP!

Cheerz

[frenchgurl201]

GEEZUS id go gay for her!!! O_O no lie xD shes got like the best screaming...oteps got nothing on her....just sayin :P

[littlemonsters96]

14 years girl: Oh I want to be like Selena Gomez and have a boyfriend like Justin Bieber

Me with 14 years: I want to be like Alissa White-Gluz and Haver her voice and body *-*

[darkmoon197]

@littlemonsters96 normal 16 jear old guy, JB is gay, but his girl is hot, me: JB is gay, alissa is hot

[parrottfamily3]

@littlemonsters96 u really should check out the lyrics of a band u clain u love so much. u want her voice and body?.....that goes against a lot of what she believes. check out business suits and combat boots she is sayin to be happy w who u are. she is a great idol but she should be ur idol cuz of her beliefs and practices not her looks. yeah she's hot,but im sure u are too. be happy w who u are.

[kuwalea]

does she have a club 'x' on her hand? no drinking for you young lady?

[VikingKriger]

@kuwalea hahahhaha, you made a funny one;)

[OzzyOstborn666]

ahhh shut the fuck up and listen, just fuckin listen to them...

[levignia]

Trovatemi un'altra ragazza con questa voce e vi pago ** Alissa forever

[uristis]

@synchronium24 "she shouldn't express her opinions because people feel like she's preaching?"

Did I say that? Uhh, no. The reason is that voicing hateful opinions about people hurts album sales. Just like when Pearl Jam offended a lot of their military and vet fans when they started their anti-war rhetoric. It's a shame when you come across a talented band and they ruin it with bad lyrics.

Besides that fact, I am just as entitled to voice my opinion just as much as Alissa is.

[uristis]

@ZiveelaWillAwaken Being kind to animals is something everyone can get behind, but that isn't what this song is about. Here is verse 2:

Tell me when did we lose our way

Why is the whole world our prey

Inhumane is the trend nowadays

How much more can they pay

Translation: "humans are heartless a**holes". So yes, it IS just a bunch of PETA finger pointing, human-hating douchebagery. The point is artists should stick to lyrics that aren't politicized or controversial.

[synchronium24]

@uristis "The point is artists should stick to lyrics that aren't politicized or controversial."

Are you serious? I'm no fan of PETA, but she shouldn't express her opinions (political or otherwise) because people feel like she's preaching? She can put out whatever the fuck she wants. If we really don't like it we can criticize, or worse, ignore her.

[TheCawOfTheCrow]

@uristis. Yet, towards the end of the song "Waiting out the winter":

The Excuse-making race decides

That breaking their own laws applies

But taking ANY life is wrong

I feel the pain for everyone.

Taking any life is wrong? PETA never said that, did they? No, they just said "Sometimes the only kind option for animals is to put them to sleep forever."

If you ask me, the two statements cancel each other out.

[OrganHatch]

@uristis You find me one band that doesnt get political and controversial in their lyrics. Controversy is different to each person. If you agree with the persons statement, then its not controversial to you, but if you don't it is. If you don't like what she sings about, then don't listen to it.

[uristis]

I was about to buy this album until I started reading the lyrics to the songs. It's a bunch of touchy-feely pro-PETA human-hating animal rights rhetoric, and it sounds retarded put to death metal.

Powerless, depressed

I try to conceal all the wreckage inside

But they are denied the basic rights

Hand-delivered to all of mankind

Instinct can't save you now

Man stand up, take a bow

[ZiveelaWillAwaken]

@uristis I don't think they'd be for PETA, because she doesn't like the killing of animals, and PETA euthanizes innocent dogs and cats.

I'm a vegetaian, and I FUCKING HATE PETA. And I don't hate humans for eating animals. I mean, lions do... why shouldn't humans?

[lethalButters]

@ZiveelaWillAwaken oh well.

[bassnerd58]

i love how even a girl in a metal band can destroy a dude in that retarded mainstream rap.

even metal our days can have some good lyrics

great song and band

[EnidPHOTOGRAPHY]

@KINGofkingss49er

i dunno but its not really a positive thing either when u look at it that way

but if it makes u feel any better your gay

[devildrive04]

i hate fags...

[DeathToRealMetal]

@KINGofkings49er

it won't ever happen just like you'll never be able to use the word nigger for its real meaning ever again without being called a racist.

[otziecan3]

@KINGofkings49er holy typos.

[DracomancerFilip]

They are just... Fucking Awesome, and why are people talking about bout gay shit?

If its not relevant to The Band or Song, Fuck Off.

[ourbrokenwalls]

that guys comments piss me off... but this band fucking kicks so much ass.,

<3 Alissa.

[jaymosworld]

Just say their good then ya fuckin tool

[KINGofkings49er]

The Agonist is gay and that ok casue gay is ok but Agonist is gay in the cool way not the homosexual way

[Jimmydots1992]

@KINGofkings49er thats a weird way of putting it haha cool tho

[neunmad]

@KINGofkings49er NO SENSE BUT I LIKE IT :D:D:D

[GilBoatTheEvilOne]

@KINGofkings49er: what the fuck are you talking, all you say is shit!

Agonist rules!

[KINGofkings49er]

I know they rule it a joke cause when most people say gay they use gay as a negative word but there nothing wrong with gays so when I say gay I use it as a postive word

[GilBoatTheEvilOne]

so do ´ey?!

.... when you say it like that it´s ok for me^^

[KINGofkings49er]

lol it sound but what im trying to say is gay is ok and Agonist ROCCCCKKKKSSSS

[gurkenhamster]

yeah, right!

[psychoaticrange]

wtf are u saying?

[acer3123]

WTF are ya tryin ta say there??????

[shmoofies]

that just sounds weird. but i totaly agree x3

[gurkenhamster]

and the homosexuell way isn´t cool? What´s the point of it all?

[snipeer060]

Fuckin great band! Awesome Song!

The Agonist 4 evah. :D

[theeshadowassassin53]

I love Alissa white-gluz she is amazing sining screaming strait edge love animals hlps in her comunity who could want more the rest of the band is realy good to.

[XblacksocksX]

i fucking LOVE this band and their music, only thing that she's straight edge,, it's kinda gay.. but oh well XD her choice, still won't change me loving this music.^^

[1225draxon]

"shes straight edge, it's kinda gay.." HAAH!

[XblacksocksX]

lol =D

[Yeap123123]

yeah...i'm italian...wat does it mean??

[1225draxon]

just means more conventional; which I dont really see how she can totally make that claim..funny how i got your email right when i was listening to another agonist song when i woke this morning

[adampope64]

lots of people dont drink/smoke... drinking and smoking dosent make you more metal .... or does it....? lol

[matsike112]

@adampope64 drinking isn't bad if you know your limit and don't drink every day, but smoking... smoking is a menace, very hard to quit, nicotine addiction is compared to heroin addiction. So better not start. smoking and drinking doesn't make you more metal or anything like this.

[WizeRetard]

@adampope64

some people think it's more metal to drink/smoke, it's all about taste i guess xD

[superfreakzz]

How is it "gay"?

Davey and Jade from AFI are both straightedge.

Matter of fact, so am I.

It's smart, and I respect them for it. You should too.

[XblacksocksX]

hehe well it will probably help you live longer since you believe alcohols and druggies are bad for you.. but what's the point? XD ever1 dies. o_O

[klootviool14nl]

where are they from?

[MrsPainkiller22]

I love how she can sing with both voices. Just amazing...

[FIuxxxxx]

aahhh!!!

<3

(:

[Tigersrule4532]

holy crap! my cheerleader pop cuzin was searching rihanna take a bow but instead by mistake she typed in "agoinna take a bow" and I made her click on this and I'm like holy... it's the anti-metal rihanna! yay! I love this song and I'm a girl who wants to be as pretty as alissa. this was my first song hearing agonist. I've been looking for this song for like a year and half but didn't know it was by the agonist! thanks for your typo, preppy cuz! rihanna can suck it!

[ACAB012345]

damn nobody cares about that

[hallowedXreaper]

@Tigersrule4532

lol

[3853t]

@Tigersrule4532 how do u mess up rihanna with The Agonist lol

[DarkOdyssey]

@Tigersrule4532 Do it. We need another Alissa <_<

[sum41Rck]

@Tigersrule4532 rihanna already sucks it remember?

XD

[skullking616]

@Tigersrule4532 lol your kool

[MrPandabAr]

@Tigersrule4532 hey if you ever get to be pretty as her hit meh up lol jk

[andyckybojangles]

@Tigersrule4532 there needs to be more metal bands with girl lead singers

[freak4388]

[timmyjunior1]

[sktm06]

@Tigersrule4532 If your the tiger in your name means Detroit Tigers you are the coolest girl ever...

[mouseyinthedark]

@Tigersrule4532 lol nice ;)

[FabrixMitico99]

@Tigersrule4532 Girls as you are rare :P

[Toftish92]

lol played this song to my friend, he surely did NOT expect a girl to growl like this xD

[birdy23445]

OMG this band f-in rocks!!!

[AaronMaul]

i believe danny marino plays in drop d, depends on the string gauge and pickups

alyssa has to be my favorite vocalist of any band tho!

[Guitarchick647]

It depends on the song. Most are drop D, some are drop C.

[PMR242424]

this is there best song

[Belthezum]

Alissa is beautiful and got a violent growl . I love her <3

[DulcisVenenum]

omg

i'd hit it

daily

i'd be her personal stalker XD

fuck it i'd be her pet n-e day ;P

[otter000]

very simple explanation for this band...THEY FUCKIN OWN ALL THOSE OTHER BITCHES

[AtomicRevolution]

the screaming/growling is epic, honestly i wouldnt have thought it was a woman doing them until shes starts singing

[MykyLovesRevAgony]

I thought that the vocalist was a boy too xD

[VelvetCult]

and shes not only AS good as male frontmen, shes actually better than many men around the globe.

[garrras1001]

alissa rules!

[pirateprick]

right wat dnt u u get death metal clearly speeks of murder and killing ie cannibal corpse, deicide, skinless. arch enmy is metal such as trivium and machine head, and the agonist is metal core cus there straight edge , they talk about there beliefs and they have clean vocals... sheeeshhh

[TragicBreakdown]

I don't believe I need to correct you cause you know that was a stupid comment.

[monosyllabledan]

personally id say they are melodeath. I say this mostly cuz i listen to melodeath metal. In Flames, Soilwork, etc. just my opinion.

[mutilationOrgy]

they are melodeath/metalcore. I agree.

[swibil123]

Metalcore or melodeath, same to me its just awesome!

[firewall21]

yes they are metalcore but also, Melodic death metal

[PotatoDennis]

really? i heard they were metalcore

ah well what really matters is this song is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooood

[Liberater666]

this songs kick asses...but i cant choose who is better....alice white or angela Gossow...i fucking love them both!!!!The agonist is melodic death metal and arch enemy is clearly death metal...anyway both bands RULESSSSSSSSSSS

[mutilationOrgy]

Arch Enemy is melodic death metal.

[Liberater666]

well maybe..but arch enemy has more pure death metal music+vocals...thats becouse angela in refrems dont use her normal voice as here :)

[THEMIGHTYGOLGOROTH]

lol honestly they kinda sound like alesana , the voice does when she sings normal and some of her screams

[TragicBreakdown]

No....just no

[THEMIGHTYGOLGOROTH]

yes...why yes

[DevilCyborg6666]

her vocals beat arch enemy's but arch enemy's guitars owns thiers easy

[monosyllabledan]

thats cuz these guitars are tuned like as i lay dying's guitars on....shadows are security

[KieranRocksOut]

its badass not as good as as i lay dying though.....

[TragicBreakdown]

I don't want to sound like a dick ,but 90% of metalcore bands these days use drop c tuning.

[geohoundzalbag]

people invented 7 String Guitars and 5 String Basses for a reason xD

[guitarplayer222333]

as i lay dying is drop c

the agonist is drop d

[avishay224]

as i lay dying is also drop d

donnu about the agonist

[Volcomstone9871]

I Heard That The Singer Is A Preschool Teacher.

Still A Great Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EmeFan]

omfg i want her as teacher lmao if thats true

[makerofman]

lol be my sex ed teacher with hands on teaching

[livefordyingbreaths]

Is Alissa White Gluz dating anyone in the metal world? Does she have her own groupies or is she just one of those chicks who keeps sex as far from her mind as possible? Would definitely be disappointing if she was that type of girl.

[everlast6501]

These guys are amazing! I saw them live about 2 weeks ago and they where seewt!

[Siuless]

yeahh i going to make an amv with this song this saturday everyone that like see it can seek in my profile since saturday 07th March 2009

[misspriss8881]

OMFG THIS RULEZ

i love her hair

[3341260]

I'll be honest with all of u, Tis band sound horrible n suxkish. U should try Cradle of Filth - Nymphatamine

[allthepeices]

you my freind are a retard, i honestly think dani filth sounds like he has a spiked dildo shoved up his arse, the agonist = awesome

[chemicalxlust]

Why does everyone keep saying The Agonist is better than Arch Enemy? Or that A.E. is better than Otep? Honestly, I think they're all amazing in their own unique ways. Imagine if they all sounded similar? What fun would it be listening to them then? O_O

[fire10210]

GOD i love this song!

[joeclone]

buena banda pero no es metal,tampoco deathmetal es hardcore o metalcore una mezcla pero el metal es una cosa y el hardcore otra pero bue... No se compara los screams medio guturales de Alisa white-gluz con los guturales de Angela Gossow de Arch Enemy, ojala que en el futuro no se le joda la voz por los guturales que hace Alissa

[colelamb611]

this is one of the hottest girls in metal <3 that and the girl from winds of plague ... and in this moment :P

[fire10210]

this and business suits and combat boots are my favorite lol
