[TheDanSpicer]

RIP

[TheHumanAb5tract]

"How can I look that other way?

My faith interrupeted...

You're shown me there is no other way,

Other, way, out!!!

Other, way, out!!!!!"

Such a powerful song, THA is amazing

[AzazelZaphorOmega]

@TheHumanAb5tract Precisely. This song is my response to all the critical damage done to me by Christians. Mainly the ones in my own family. For example my mom- she effectively accused my brother of molesting my sister so that she could break him and his Wiccan girlfriend up all because she didn't like her beliefs. That was 12 years ago. As life has gone on, I've learned that ALL Christians are parasites.

[lazerBAR]

@AzazelZaphorOmega Just like jews? Dont generalize a whole group from the actions of a few.

[MrPatides]

@hellixx256 I was thinking 7 fold better to be... punny lol

[enfurno]

Rad song.

[UltimusEvil]

only reason im watching this is cause Angry Joe uses this as his intro to game reviews

[headstrong440]

Havent heard this in years and it's still badass.

[iplaybass428]

@headstrong440 Exactly what I'm experiencing right now.

[hellixx256]

They sound like what a7x is supposed to be, but epicly 10 times better than that XD

[iheartmetalcoreful]

@hellixx256 Dude, I thought that exact same thing when I first started listening to them, lol.

[Garrus234]

@hellixx256 Lol so that is so true A7X has nothing on these guys, their new record "Digital Veil" is amazing.

[paul19924]

this band better not EVER go mainstream.

[YOURMUTHUH]

@paul19924 Lol. You're so silly.

[MaledictAnomaly]

240p we meet again...

[krowsdrummer2]

I swear to god, If anyone says 240p we meet again...

[reynotray]

Epic at 3:00

[BryceL24]

heheh......... angry joe

[jasonmicklebee]

"You won't have lunch again" 1:02

[phan303]

its amazing they can even replicate this.....awsome song!

[xanderthegreatt]

that riff at 0:13

I know I've heard that somewhere before, but I can't place it...

[Kuijibo]

@xanderthegreatt reminds me of that Drist song on guitar hero maybe?

[ThePatocalypse]

I miss Nathan Ellis. Perhaps a return after the departure of Travis? :)

[seansologo]

The lead guitarist quit after this album right?

[xZellxKyoux]

@seansologo that guitarist came back on their newest album \m/

[aingoia1]

I mean no disrespect, but can we just agree that the intro was completely ripped from liquid tension experiment's "paradigm shift"? especially with how it barely transitions into the actual song?

[EpsilonX]

@aingoia1 I think it goes into the song well.

[ianboisseree]

shreds...

[Chrisxxmassacre]

I like dirt. And dirt likes me.

[neilpeartrocks2112]

I wish they still wrote melodic stuff like this haha, DV is a great album, but not as good as Nocturne <3

[Dissimulatex]

@neilpeartrocks2112 Maybe not instrumentally, but fuck the vocalist in Nocturne.

[neilpeartrocks2112]

@IamAG3nius im going to be seeing them in October with Periphery (whom ive already seen open for Fair To Midland <3)

[thoctarmuncher]

@IamAG3nius I saw them like 4 years ago. They were amazing. And it was raining so it was well the shit.

[21jvoke]

you guys are fuckin sick!

[ThisisnotElio]

I am totally proud to say that I got my bands name from lyrics to this song.

[leaveyourlegacy92]

@ThisisnotElio which would be?

[ThisisnotElio]

@leaveyourlegacy92 Cutting A Loss

[leaveyourlegacy92]

@ThisisnotElio I love it! Got any audio or video?

[ThisisnotElio]

@leaveyourlegacy92 Thanks! We don't have anything recorded yet, but we have a few videos on youtube. Decent audio.

[leaveyourlegacy92]

@ThisisnotElio Where can i find it?

[ThisisnotElio]

@leaveyourlegacy92 Just search youtube for "Cutting a Loss" lol

[MrHIMlover]

wow 30 second advertisement

[phan303]

itsamazing that they can even replicate all that goes on in this song. One of muh Fav bands. check out vela together we await the storm...one of the greatest vocal intros ive heard \m/

[fobia4fire]

30 ppl dislike that aj left and that they got a new vocalist

[stall2dude911]

@fobia4fire well technically aj left but when they got the new vocalist he came back so if they liked that he left they wouldnt like the new stuff with the new vocalist

[SIZZLEBIZZLE1982]

Is that Ben Folds sweep picking over there??

[darrellspivey]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I forgot there was a rest-of-the-world when I was watching this! I just blacked out! SO FREAKING SICK!

[WhoHearsTheMadnessTV]

this is still my favorite music video, its just so original and awesome to me

[drinkfloridaoj]

just sounds like a7x

[mardgn81]

@drinkfloridaoj Vocally you could say that. Musically not really.

[kosmo7895]

@mardgn81 Actually, Avenged Sevenfold use the Harmonic Minor scale primarily for what they write. The Human Abstract also uses the Harmonic Minor scale in a lot of what they write. The Harmonic Minor scale is the most unique sounding scale, so yeah, it's pretty similar musically.

[WhoHearsTheMadnessTV]

@kosmo7895 #7 for the win dude.

[StewieSwan]

@kosmo7895 You're retarded

[JustinIsOnTheTube]

@kosmo7895 That's like saying: because you and I both drive to work in cars, we do the same kind of jobs...

[kosmo7895]

@JustinIsOnTheTube Except for not really. Do you know anything about music? The harmonic minor scale is THE MOST unique sounding scale, and it's not commonly used, except for in music like this. So no, your comparison is completely inaccurate.

[g0d0fgu1tar]

im so ready to headbang i was nodding my head to the commercial beforehand. lmfao. /facepalm

[supniggaaaaaa]

THE GUYS VOICE IS FUCKING INSANE.

[DiscoveringReason]

He may not have been able to sing live, but Nathan Ells could fucking lay it DOWN in the studio

[WhoHearsTheMadnessTV]

@DiscoveringReason now that you mention that, I saw them with Nathan, and I was right in front of him and I couldnt hear him -_-

[SMZMUSIC1]

this song reminds me of fall of troy alot! in an awesome way, oh my god sooooo good.

[milkykick]

1:19 through 1:41 is my favorite fucking part

[gimpinaintez]

good song! :D

[TheLindsayDuff]

Does anyone know if the name of the band stemmed from the Blake poem?

[flankerchris7]

@TheLindsayDuff it did



[thaustin14]

@TheLindsayDuff 99% sure it did. I remember reading it somewhere, and everything on the internet is true. :P

[aaronconlin]

@TheLindsayDuff Yeah, that's where it comes from

[poinostwister]

@TheLindsayDuff Yes, it did.

[JakesAmandaPanda]

fucking awesome band and song! love the finger work on the bass!

[afrokidguitarist]

just saw these guys last night.....didnt have this singer or bassist lol....i dont like this singer much. the guitarists are the same though :]

[wolfboy12321]

@afrokidguitarist D: The bassist is a f*cking badass though!!!

[awesomeo727]

@afrokidguitarist the new singer is the old guitarist from from first to last and the guitarist with glasses in this vid left for a while...hes not on the cd after this and then he came back for digital veil

[afrokidguitarist]

@awesomeo727 sweet. i heard AJ has a teaching degree for guitar or somethin like that.

he's really good by no doubt. i dont really remember from first to last much...

[distantplanetTrance]

@afrokidguitarist

If you went and watched the "Note to self" and look carefully at the guitarist with red dye in his hair, you can tell it's Travis by looks, but you wouldn't be able to tell by listening to the record. His screaming style has changed drastically.

[goodboy196]

i want Nathan back.... new guys cleans are complete shit.

[thousandfootkrutchro]

@goodboy196 Not really, his cleans are just fine. Nathan's vocals kinda get annoying and they sound like he is trying to hard.

[goodboy196]

@thousandfootkrutchro fuck you

[Zalonka]

Oh to address a few issues. You can't say "the bass player looks retarded holding his guitar that high" First of all it's his style, second of all it's a BASS.

This CD is amazing and will be the only good one from The Human Abstract; since, they lost they're good guitarist soon after it was made. If it's true and they lost the singer as well? Then they're F'd, but this CD is one of my big time favorites. I can listen to it all day long!

P.S. The singer is great, Mchuck = Moron.

[iareBRENDEN]

@Zalonka Don't get me wrong, this sounds great. You should really check out Digital Veil though. It was an impressive album.

[Zalonka]

@iareBRENDEN Ok I just did and the guitar is decent, but the vocalist is so boring.

My response is Parkway Drive - Smoke em if ya got em

[maju36able]

@Zalonka the guitar in that album is more than decent aj just didnt go crazy with the sweeping that time

[thousandfootkrutchro]

@Zalonka You do realize thier good guitarist came back right and their new vocalist is great.

[mchuckie1006]

I am glad they got rid of this singer. He sounds like dildos.

[laurenieable]

bass player looks fucking stupid with his guitar that high up. haha

[YZ250er]

@laurenieable coooooooooool

[eyedeeuh]

IF YOU LIKE THESE GUYS CHECK OUT MY BAND BETWEEN THE LIONS ON FACEBOOK AND LIKE US!! JUST DO A SEARCH ON THERE. CANT POST LINK ON THIS. WE WERE JUST ON TOUR WITH WE CAME AS ROMANS! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED! :)

[sintheticecstacy]

I fuckin LOVE this song

[Mrwinnerguy]

Angry joe theme?

[xaniasx]

the intro reminds me of love is a cat from hell by chiodos REALLY similar

[shjervenst]

@xaniasx except the chiodos intro is more based off the drums. whereas this song's intro is guitar in your face

[xaniasx]

@shjervenst I meant at 0:14 

[urjustjealuss]

lolz this sucks

[Thisheartimperfect]

i swear, these guys NEVER FAIL!!! haha Epicness all the way through Every song!

[EpsilonX]

nathan looks way different than i expected

[theeScatttttman]

shits dirty nasty. wish i was as sick as these motherfuckers!

[FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

god fucking damn. look at that bassist fucking go

[xenochrist15]

Travis Richter has made this band a google times better.

[iwasbored67]

Why is there an advert for Yellowcard under The Human Abstract?

[treflipto360flip]

This video deserve a few 100 million more views :)

[TechieRefugee]

Cameraman: "DURR HURR I R DRUNK LOLIMMAROTATETHECAMERAWOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[charleslanford]

love his voice and how well it goes with the rest of the intstruments

[marshandomness]

for those of you that dont know this: the rubicon refers to julius ceaser because back then, he was a great military leader against another great military leader from his own country named pompey, the rubicon was a river that caeser had to cross to get to rome to finish pompey off... so when caeser crossed the rubicon he was declaring civil war on his own country

[LaustKlawz]

@marshandomness

Exactly. Posse Comitatus is the U.S. law that prohibits U.S. military from policing us here in the states. Unfortunately, it is no longer followed by the Federal Government. The Federal Government has crossed the Rubicon by using our own military against us.

[StartTheFireUp]

Start The Fire Up's new EP!

[stephaniebailey2010]

Love this song with a passion

[walkerzr1]

@ 1:30, the earths axis is interrupted

[halfmastmutiny]

Damn you AJ and your neo classical training. This is a difficult song to play. Awesome, but difficult.

[bleedthedead]

i remember saying to myself god i wish i could get that tone with my bass so i went here to see what bass he was using...its the same bass.....

[DarickC]

this is amazing! the only part I wasn't stoked about was parts of the solo, where there was too much chromatasizm... wasn't all that pleasant to me, but technique is still quite epic, and during the rest of the song, the harmonization is amazing!

[punkvids1]

beast ass band

[Clenon77]

25 people hit dislike because they hate themselves.

[STEVEman00700]

I'd like to see some kid sittin in his room try to do a guitar cover of this! Wont happen.

[ElLapiz24]

I like totally forgot about this song until in history there was something about some dude crossing the rubicon and that reminded me of this song and I fell in love with it again

[xscarlet7]

This band is so awesome!

I played a show with them in Hollywood and drank beers with em!

[Dancorehxc]

Yea THA are talented mothereffers. You deserve to go deaf.

[mott1992]

dude, i've only listened to like 3 of these guys songs, and they're already one of my fav bands ever!!!

[koreyklug1]

so disapointed... everyone who listens to this shit deserves to go deaf

[mott1992]

@koreyklug1 why? like i don't understand, these guys kickass

[jhonioh]

[TheRealBazookaLOVE]

This song was my ultimate fav THA jam until they released "Faust"...

[zgs2]

commence ass rape at 1:31

[pntballfreek]

@zgs2 i beg to differ sir i believe said ass ownage begins at 2:06 :P

[gergaginflopple]

I've heard that they're switching vocalists? WHY?!?!?

[cakeisbetterthenfish]

@gergaginflopple its cuz Nathan is a ass, and is a heavy user of drugs could barly do shows, dident practice noone liked him and alot more stuff, and he was just slowing the band down.

[gergaginflopple]

@cakeisbetterthenfish

Hmmm. I still like his voice. Shame he's apparently an ass and a drug user.

[sylopez92]

@gergaginflopple DX WHAT!?

[Keebok808]

Brett Powell = Beast

[1snazzy2]

everytime i hear this song i 'stuff' my zapdos

[JesterNil]

I was thinking on buying one of these guy's cd's, but decided against it. Now that i've heard them, I do not regret my decision.

[AILDvsABRlol]

This is impossible. How can a band this good, have such low rating? 423 thumbs up?...and 22 down. Screw the thumbs down thanks.

[secilu4lifeX]

guy with the glasses is beast

[Nomnia]

4:23 - 4:40 how every good band should rock out

[elgrau1]

[betisim0]

[ziggmyster55]

Wich dude is A.J i just started listening to them recently

[nickfizzle1212]

@ziggmyster55 the guy on the left with glasses doing all the sick nasty solos which he wrote....along with every note for every song for every instrument in this band

[Nomnia]

@nickfizzle1212 seriously? Fuck dude go AJ :D

[AProblemSituation]

@nickfizzle1212 and that's why midheaven wasn't as good.

[HappyDictator]

I miss the old bassist he was so much better he cut threw the mix and on top of that he knew how to write basslines

[silentjutah]

AJ is back! haha!

[xADEAN4DIMEx]

pretty cool but there all nipple riders

[guitarpwner67]

jiz in my pants

[monsterofmuaythai]

why am i plagued by the funny haired man trying to tell me about shipping companies? :(

[DaggersPlunge]

Such an astonishing, and yet underrated bassist. I miss Arehart.

[KsE909]

@DaggersPlunge I KNOW!!! i was sooo sad when he left. they didnt even replace him. i dont think they ever could. he was amazing. they just add bass frequencies in the studio now.

[Eisengrind]

this video looks so cheap and the quality is worse but it has an intensity you cant buy with all the money in the world.awesome piece.

[DesertAirman10]

at about 2:30 que up absolute fucking insanity

[Misskitty931]

i remember first seeing this on head banger's ball and instantly falling in love with it!XD

[acecoolman123]

why download on itunes when you have frostwire :)

[krndgify]

@acecoolman123 because some nubs pay for music

pretty dumb if you ask me

[TheEaterOfTheCookie]

@krndgify some ppl also appreciate the artist and want to help them out and pay a couple bucks and get an amazing album at the same time.

[johnnylaw6661]

@acecoolman123 bittorrent works too

[DropDeadJD]

i was listening the music when i noticed that it sounded familiar to me, and after so many time thinking i remenbred that its from the Angry Joe Show xD

just search and listen

i was after this song for a long time!!!

[Nintendodo64]

@DropDeadJD Same here, man. I'm a HUGE Angry Joe fan, and i just started listening to The Human Abstract, so knowing that the two things are related in this way make both of them WAY better... but Joe's last episode still stunk.

[shampoo21king]

its like a blowjob from a sexy hand grenade

[metalheadbouncerxxx]

likeee

[Tuttrow]

I hope they make a sick new album, considering the best thing about their old album is back on the third album.(guitarist/pianist)

[abi999]

@Tuttrow yea  a.j is beasttttttt

[chiodos82]
