  • best thrice riff

  • sounds like dustin changed up the lyrics a bit on the final release.. or he forgot them lol

  • Thrice + Earth, Air, Fire, Water = Greatness

  • i love the album but this is so what i wish it sounded like.

  • its interesting how different it is from the final version

  • Yeah, it is. Amazing how much of a difference a year or so can make.

  • Man I used to love thrice they were my favorite band; I named my e-mail address after them and everything (I know kinda lame but I was in high school.) But they're softer turn has really disappointed me. That which I loved best about them is gone. Dustin really isn't that good of a singer, and should stick to screaming. And there are no more of the sick guitar riffs like in Illusion of Safety. Oh well I guess they had to grow and this was their path.

  • no shit, and its for your information, dustins voice is off the fuckin hook so stop whining and open your fucking mind.

  • "Dustin really isn't that good of a singer"

    You might been the first person i've ever heard to say that..

  • TSBTF1728 and oop007 are fucking douchbags.

  • FIRE

  • ha ok oop007 and TSBTF1728 if i may say so you are both acting pretty imature. i mean you are really acting like 6th graders and i dont want to be mean or anything i just dont like arguing and you guys are jsut arguing over a bit of nothing.

    P.S. ya im thirteen years old so feel free to call me an imature thirteen year old kid if you would like im not a nerd though.

  • I think the lyrics are different

  • ... yea i noticed that also

  • As did I!

  • I am a fan of Thrice and I will still listen to them but I am not a huge fan of the slow folky stuff. I am a huge fan of like Artist in The Ambulance stuff. But I still like them as a band and always will, I am just hoping that they will change back soon.

  • Wow. People really don't have anything better to talk about on youtube. Hahaha. They're just like...different, lyrically that is. Get over it.

  • I'm sorry but Thrice can't touch Brand New lyrically. You can debate everything else, but Thrice will never be able to create a song like "Jesus"

  • Not lyrically to the naked eye. Just because Thrice writes mostly in religious undertones. Everything Trice writes has a deeper meaning than you probably understand. Yuo're taking their writing at face value, I mean, I bet you have no clue what the song "The Red Death" is about.

    It's about one of the greatest poems ever written.

  • True that. Dustin is a poet

  • kudos man

  • you're not looking close enough then.

  • What's the other 00.01% go towards? Image of the invisivble?

  • Hahahahaha, people talking about Limousine on a Thrice video.

    I dunno what I'd do without Thrice and Brand New, these guys are so far above and beyond everyone else these days.

  • ah want to see em!!

  • Oh yeah Thrice is def superb Live I mean flawless, I've got my tickets for this April to see them again. Can't wait

  • april 25th cant wait i just saw them too a couple days ago

  • I've been to a lot of concerts. Thrice by far performs the best live in my opinion for that genre of music. In may I'm going ot see them and I'm going to both shows this time :)

  • hahah is it just me or are the lyrics all different

  • They are, but this is the prototype version. They had just started recoring the fire disc when they played this. So it's understandable that it changed in a year's time.

  • ha yeah thats what i figured cuz i remember watching this video a long ass time ago

  • god, what is with people and not liking Brand New? they're a great band. I love Thrice too, but Brand New is jsut as good imo. If you think i'm stupid, you obviously have not heard Archers or You Won't Know or Degausser by Brand New. 3 amazing songs.

    oh, and Thrice's new album kicks ass.

  • I think a lot of people label Brand New as "emo" and don't really listen long enough to appreciate the meanings in their songs. Example - Limousine off the new album at first glance seems like a love song (in a weird way), but really, it's about a drunk driving incident. People don't see that they just hear "love you so much" and label it as shit.

  • That and the average intelligence of humans everywhere soon drops under the 70 IQ marker, so that would account for all this. You notice at how many people say "cuz" and "imho". I am way too bitter.

  • Yeah that song is about a 7 year old kid that died because her uncle drank too much on her parent's wedding night- The accident decapitated the girl and left 2 others dead. That's why at the end he's actually saying "1 will love you so much..." "2 will love you so much..." etc until 7- for the girl's age. Like someone else said- Lyrically Brand New is untouchable.

  • Okay, I would have to say Thrice lyrics are better. Dustin is an amazing lyricist. But i wouldn't go so far to say that Jesse Lacey is writes like a 13 year old. . . They're albums are maturing and he certainly has some talent.

    But like i said, Thrice lyrics are better =D.

    Since Dustin is married he doesn't really write about girl problem as many many bands do. So he is able to focus on other aspects of life and it's real nice and refreshing.

  • Wow they are untouchable lyrically cuz they can count to 7. Amazing.

  • Dude I could write an essay- but is this really the place to cite the 3000 reasons why Brand New is awesome? No.

  • I love Brand New. lyrically they are untouchable, Jesse Lacey is a Genius. And they are even better in concert. But Deja Entendu and The Devil and God are in my top 10. And they def are not Emo, they are intelligent, which is why a lot of dumb people don't like them.

  • AMAZING

    and to note that it was posted 2 years ago, and it came out 3 months ago ^^

    i cant WAIT for the next 2 volumes!!

  • i agree amazing band, song and album. brand new is awful and dull. people were actually falling asleep after the first song.

  • i rly love the cds. i love all of thrice's cds idk why people dont like the newest stuff. the alchemyindex volumes 1 and 2 is my favorite cd of all time in fact

  • This album is so fucking nuts. After Vheissu I was worried the band would try to become too artistic and "mature"

    Dude fuck that shit they manage to do BOTH but still bring it back to their Illusion Of Safety hardcore at the same time. Fucking incredible concept album, they did this so right. I can't wait for the other volumes.

  • This song is epic, I love it. Tell me are you free just sounds bad ass when he's screaming it.

    Awesome band, glad I found them.

  • I saw Thrice at Warped Tour '05, and they ended the day perfectly. That's where I first heard "Image of the Invisible." Their new stuff is weird, but very epic.

  • i just saw thrice play at the wiltern about 3 hours ago....they played this song PERFECTLY!!!! It had been a while since i have seen them play live and they sounded soooooooooooooooo good!!! they have blown me away all over again! fuckin insane....oh, and brand new sucked, they play some pretty gay shit. At least the girls were into it....i left after the 2nd song, i couldnt take it anymore. Could have gone for thrice headlining...

  • I couldn't agree more. Teppei needs to practice his live piano a bit more though :(

    Sounded kinda sloppy last night in San Diego.

    Brand New sux...bad.

  • really? he sounded great on the keys when i saw him....

  • ya fuck brand new sucked real bad. out of tune guitar on that saturday. mewithoutyou was amazing though

  • see the one with the white t shirt on hes my uncle.

  • why is everyone standing still? such a good song

  • This was the first time anyone had heard it. They were all in awe of this badass song.

  • =D you again!

  • FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, i was this close to moshing in the computer lab at scool

  • i love how the lyrics changed from this to the cd.

    sooooo good.

  • the alchemy index vols 1 & 2 fire and water is probably the most epic album i have ever heard. everyone go buy it now. if you have any sense of good music, it will change your life

  • the CD is amazing :D considering this was played last year... they really didnt change much at all. Get the CD!

  • well he changed most of the lyrics

  • is it me or did they change the lyrics around in the chorus, it doesnt matter just curious

  • It seems like it. But then again, this was recorded in october, they were not even done recording, so I'm sure they changed stuff around. This song was probably a prototype.

  • "Thrice are emo" = One of the funniest things I've ever heard

    "Thrice are a Christian band" - Well, no. Dustin is a Christian, I'm not sure about the other members but even if they are or aren't, it isn't fully integrated into every song. You can notice it in a few tracks, but Thrice are about much more, they cover a lot of stuff.

  • Everyone except Riley. But that's ok, to each their own. But he wrecks shop on the drums. He does some insane stuff on TAIVol.1&2. So does Ed for that matter. They really stepped it up this go around. It's seriously the best album ever. EVER!!

  • Looking forward to picking the album up. Had no idea it had hit this soon. Thrice are evolving and trying new things out so it's cool

  • THRICE OWNS

  • nicely said my man

  • I gots the new album already. =P feel free to check the songs out from pts 1 & 2 in my profile. Thrice FTW!

  • wen dose the second set come out

    it is going to be the other two elements

  • april

  • i should have pre-ordered the album cuz some people already have the cd..FUCK!

  • lunch are u a christian |doubt it| listen to image of the invisibles lyrics ... of course they are a christian band.. lifehouse are christian they dont say that they are out loud it puts people off real meaningful music. not sinful crap like gangsta rap.

  • ok for 1, ppl who dont like this band.... why r u even looking them up on youtube. 2ndly thrice is a christan band and if u didnt notice, emo is different from them, neway keep ur opinions to urself if they r bad on the otherhand I THINK THRICE IS GAWD!!! they rock

  • Dude, don't pigeon hole this band as a "christian band", because if you knew what you were talking about then you would understand their reasoning for not calling themselves a "christian band". I'm seriously tired of this lame ass agrument of whether or not they are a "christian band".

  • Watch an interview where Dustin talks about the topic. He himself says they're not a christian band. do some research before you talk. It's important to know where they lyrics come from. It's not a question that the lyrics come from the bible, C.S. Lewis, and Dustins beliefs. But Thrice is no more a christian band than Hobby Lobby is a church.

  • Other than that, I loved you're comment.

  • I like how you faggots can't refrain from having an arguement about your opinion on music.

    Nobody cares if you like this band, or if you think only faggots listen to that band. People listen to what they want to listen to.

    Saying "go listen to your dick in the ass atreyu shit" doesn't accomplish anything. OH noes! You insulted a band that I might listen to but you don't really know...oh god...oh god...I guess you win, your opinion is better.

  • i just said atreyu cuz i went to school with them. haha...but i could careless buddy. i dont really like any bands in the genre to be honest, i mostly just listen to guitar soloists. i was talkin about the emo remark mainly, and i dont understand the last part of your comment. Sounds like you were trying to be witty....but doesnt look like it worked. Do yourself a favor....when you put the Q-tip in your ear, stop when you feel resistance.

  • pwnd. again.

  • haha

  • pour moi jlé connais depuis leur anné plus punk rock , pi jtrouve que leur passe commercial sa fitait mais chu content kiayye changer pour de koi de fuck up pi de underground.

  • chingate' tu pinche madre muy! y saca la pinche basura! gracias!

  • ............. If you people want some crunchy guitar riffs over some rat-a-tat-tat drumming then go listen to your dick in the ass atreyu shit...good fucking god.

    have a nice day!

  • Pwnd. You are my hero.

  • ............... Thrice has uplifting and lyrics that help stabilize a humans personal growth, which tend to be very thought-provoking. Thrice is not "EMO". And on another note, all the people that like the "old" stuff better and not the "new" stuff, great...keep it to yourself, cuz nobody gives a rats ass and it just makes you look like a moron. ..........

  • .........This term is used when describing a band that has a self-demoralizing and self-pitying lyrical basis, this pretty much means bands that sound like they are whining about everything all the time, Thrice does nothing of the sort....AT ALL! And if you think they do then check yourself into a mental hospital!

  • thats it...let me clear something up.."emo"..what does this stand for? EMOTION. THERE IS EMOTION IN EVERY PIECE OF MUSIC ON THIS PLANET!!!! Even if i picked up a guitar and played one note over and over for an hour straight it would still have emotion. so calling something emo is pretty pointless. Now there is also the "EMO"tional term that is used. ...........

  • Too bad they were never "emo", otherwise you're comment would have been flawless. There was nothing generic about IC or IOS or ever TAITA.

  • Wow. The new Thrice is freakin' awesome.

    I hated their old stuff.

  • I fully agree with you LunchBox

  • do they still scream/yell like on artist in the ambulance????

  • Look up the fire disc video. You're question will be answered. But honestly, it doesn't matter me. Whatever they do, I will still love it. I don't care if they have a cd comprised of sounds of whales, they'd still find a way of making it a masterpiece. Just my two cents anyway.

  • i fully agree with you man, thrice has been my fav band for bout 3 years but ever since vheissu i kinda feel like they lost their sound in a way. but still ill always support them

  • i fully agree with you man, thrice has been my fav band for bout 3 years but ever since vheissu i kinda feel like they lost their sound in a way. but still ill always support them

  • actully its dustin that messed up. Teppei plays rythem on that part.

  • oh no! Teppei messes up around 3:53 on the guitar!

    still the best band ever

  • Near the second chorus I thought Dustin's voice sounded like it was getting tired from hitting all those high notes... and at the end of the chorus he goes and nails the crap out of a note a full step higher than all the other ones. How wonderful.

    Oh and this performance sounds pretty dang good, comparing it to the studio version on Thrice's myspace... pretty near flawless....

  • ONE MONTH TILL THE ALCHEMY INDEX VOL 1&2!!!!! YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I'm so freaking ready for this epic shizz to drop!!!

  • i know man!

  • is that 11/8?

  • fucking amazing! i can't wait

  • Holyyyy

    Sooo amazing. Going to be one of the best albums ever!

  • My Favorite Part is the Harmonys at the end.

  • holy crap, why cant this cd come out right now, im going insane

  • I cant stop listening to this... I love the way thrice is maturing. That dosnt mean I dont love the old music.. but the new stuff is just as good and is a nice change :)

  • crazy pills huh?

    haha

  • How are these guys not the biggest band in the world??? I FEEL LIKE IM TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!!!

  • Hell yeah, Zoolander reference.

  • Oh, and does anyone have any Black Unicorn videos? That would make my day.

  • i heard they played a random show in huntington...could have gone for seeing that...

  • i am soooooooooo excited, oct. 16 baby

  • I don't think anyone here really wants to digress into the whole "are Thrice a Christian band or not?" argument...

    But the reason Thrice are on the rise isn't because people are starving for truth...it's because thrice's music is well constructed and well executed. that and the sick time sig...

  • Ditto

  • Jesus is alive.

  • Thank god this band knows that. I find so much of their stuff absolutely inspirational. It's great when you can listen to awesome rock and roll, and it still has a great message to it. Thrice, Skillet, Flyleaf Red...Awesome Christian music is on the rise because people are starving for truth and they don't even realize it.

  • HAHAHA..... THAT is why I listen to thrice, because I am starving for truth.

    Haha tool.

  • wow this sounds amazing, when is the album release date? can't wait

  • Oct 16

  • how do u no its called firebreather

  • read the review at absolute punk, or to the alchemy index site to check it out. It's been confirmed.

  • could you post a link to the review, i can't find it on absolute punk

  • It won't let me post links, but you go to the alchemy index site and click on the comments for the second video and if you scroll down you will find that there is a review posted with the track names. That or you can go to thelogs of Jason P. at AP and find it. Hope thats helps. peace

  • i love the new thrice songs ive heard i like the way there evolving there music and making themselves happy with it instead of making other poeple happy

  • This song's called Firebreather, in case anyone was wondering, seeing as how the description says there isn't a name yet..

  • Sounds cool. Can't wait 4 their new cd's! THRICE ROCKS!

    You people make me sick. Can't you at least say something about the video b4 you start your stupid arguments?

  • Sigh... spirituality does not require religion guys and gals. There are plenty of people on both sides - secular humanists (atheists) and religious types - that believe in doing good by others and in the fact that life has meaning.

    Don't bash people because they believe in God; your personal answer to the world does not make you better or more right, and all you do is make the rest of us atheists look bad.

  • amen.

  • hey oop007 i hope you get killed by a train... and then shot twice because thrice is the greatest band of our generation... i really hope that you can see that they are quite amazing and ORINGAL... but that dosen't matter these days does it?? guess not.. DICK!

  • it's ok, oop007 is just another angry teen-scene kid who doesn't understand that virtuoso musicianship is trite and overrated. thrice makes pure music that he/she obviously does not understand, and for that we should all take pity upon him/her for not wanting to see the bigger picture.

  • Wow you need to broaden your taste of music... any true fan of music can see that everything they've done recently as well as in the past has been very solid. Sorry that its not all heavy guitars and screaming... but quite frankly that would get old after a while. They're not going to put out Illusion of Safety 20 times... get over it.

  • Oh so because I don't like something you like that means I need to broaden my taste of music? Don't make me laugh that's such an ignorant comment I don't know where to begin. I listen to many different genres and bands many of whom used to suck and are good now and vice versa, Thrice used to be good and sucks now plain and simple. It isn't because I don't think it's hardcore enough, or else then I wouldn't have liked The Artist in The Ambulance you tool. It's because their music sucks now lol

  • Why is it everytime you don't like the same music as somebody they say you need to broaden your musical taste. Musical taste is exactly what it is, "MUSICAL TASTE", a matter of OPINION, something I have unlike you who just listens to any pile of shit a band you like will put out just because they made it. I probably have a much broader taste in music then you do, not that you would know because you don't know me and base your arguments purely on assumptions. Their new cds lack talent or effort.

  • I find it ironic that you call me ignorant, when you are calling me a tool, saying that Thrice put no effort into their new releases, saying I listen to any pile of shit that a band will put out. You have no idea who I am at all and you call me a tool for liking Thrice's music. The assumption that they put no effort into their music is ludicrous, you have no idea what they went through to put out those cds. I don't either, but I think it's safe to say that they put plenty of effort into them.

  • Yeah but I'm not basing it on an assumption you retard cause you've already admitted to liking this pile of shit. The other cds required more effort to put together and were more real. These cds are just a failed attempt to do something unique, that sounded like a pile of shit. Come on, albums about the elements, laughably dumb idea and it translates in how shitty their music has become. Either way, less effort went into this then their old stuff that's for sure.

  • So oop007 everything you dont like is shit the???

    Epasliy the stuff coming out of your mouth

  • This coming from the guy who can't even spell especially? And I'm not even a grammar nazi but come on what the hell is epasliy you retard. It's not that everything I don't like is shit, it's that my opinion is thrices newer stuff is shit, but it would take a person of an average IQ to understand this so I don't blame you if you don't.

  • "Thrice used to be good and sucks now plain and simple"

    "Musical taste is exactly what it is, a matter of OPINION"

    Nice contradiction.

  • Wow is your IQ below 90? Seriously because, saying Thrice sucks now, is MY OPINION.

    Anyways, no point in arguing further with any of you angst filled teens who don't even know how to form a proper argument.

  • Congrats 007, you are officially a jackass.

    It's not your fault though. It's the way you word your arguments that led to your downfall really. I get what you were saying, but you worded it to make it sound like you were speaking hypocritical nonsense about music critique.

    Don't worry champ, one of these days you'll learn to argue like an adult. By that time Thrice will probably be in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame though.

  • LOL keep dreaming man, the rock n' roll hall of fame.... lol thats a delusion if I've ever heard one. You must be some angst filled emo kiddy to actually believe that. Thanks for proving you're the one who is actually 13 years old and spews nonsense. Don't make me laugh lmao. Just because someone doesn't like music you like doesn't make their opinion worthless you dumb kid, and it's youtube, if I need to give you a formal argument here then you're a big fucking nerd buddy lol. get a life emo kid

  • You're absolutely right 007, I'm a 13 y/o emo kid/nerd who likes to sit here and engage in arguments with smart people like you. OR: I'm in fact an adult of 23 years who just so happened upon this page one day to find some over-opinionated 20 something fighting with teens about what music sucks and what doesn't. And also, who said I liked Thrice? That hall of fame comment was supposes to mean you'll never learn how to talk like a grown-up. Probably because you're 13. Grow up. And stop using LOL

  • Yes that comment about the hall of fame sure did make a lot of sense. How about you stop being a 13 year old nerd who is a grammar nazi, and makes comments about acronyms over the internet? People who do that, are idiots. You are clearly one of them. Don't make me laugh, your post was laughable. Your so-called attempt to make me look foolish was bordering on absurd. Go pat yourself on the back or ask your 7th grade teacher for a sticker kid, cause you aren't getting any props on here lmao.

  • I'm sure it did make sense to someone who has half a brain, but I have neither the time nor the patience to sit here and explain humor to some outspoken pissant on youtube. The truth is, friend, that you do a better job of making yourself look foolish then I ever could. You have fun on here trying to pass of your opinions as legit musical critique. Let me know if you ever get over yourself and stop being such a fucking peon. Kudos.

  • /flamewar.

    You are both faggots.

    Shut up.

  • Really? then what exactly is it your doing here then? Seems to me like you think you're a lot smarter then you actually are tool. "Kudos"

  • your a fucking idiot.

    Im sure you don't know anything about music.

    and by music i mean theory and history and the business.

    i bet your just a fucking retard who thinks because he listens to classic rock and modern rock he listens to "alot of music"

    burn in hell douchebag. (I mean that from the bottom of my heart)

    Anyone who says that the alchemy index lacks effort and talent is a fucking moron.

    Anyone who says TIOS is better than the Alchemy Index is legally retarded.

  • This music is fantastic.

    Thrice has always been awesome. and honestly kid, Thrice was really never hard. And under no circumstance is this music emo or that fact that someone may like this make them emo. Ignorant losers use that kinda jargon.

  • you guys both suck

  • if you dont like thrice thats fine. but quit telling everyone how stupid they are for liking them...

    And yes I'm extremely excited for thrice's new album ;)

  • AI kicks ass, but so does TIOS and TAITA and Vhessu...to each their own

  • @mattysesh ... and Identity Crisis... :) jus sayin.

    To Each Their Own.

  • You obviously have no comprehension of what music is supposed to be.

  • Go die, your useless ass is taking up precious space.

  • haha wow, I have seen some people post retarded comments about how shitty they think Thrice is now, but that has to be the best one I've ever seen.

    that is lol-able, your a dumbass, who know absolutely nothing about real music.

  • You know what's funny guys, I'm supposedly a dumbass who knows nothing about "real" music, why is that? Because I don't like the same music as you do? Gee that sure makes my comprehension of music terrible because my opinion isn't the same as yours LOL. You guys just made yourselves all look like retards. And for the record, this isn't even music, it's pure garbage. What they used to create was music, not anymore.

  • Ur the most mature individual i've ever seen! Grow up dude. For real. You are making comments with no backing besides the fact that its your opinion, and you think you are right. That's not how things work. You have to be open to the fact that you might be wrong and might need to recognize a positive message when its there

  • buckminsterhn. you are an ignorant fool. you have completely flawed arguements and really shouldn't listen to thrice if you don't promote the message they are trying to get across through their songs.

  • Nobody fucking asked you churchy.

  • this song's called "firebreather". and it sounds great =]

  • Simply put thrice calls themselve a band with christian members, they ARE NOT CHRISTIAN ROCK! Although they do quote the bible and biblical tales, they are not christian, they do have christian members tho

  • Just do like the band and don't give a crap about whatever they're labeled, dude. This argument is not worth anyone's time. The band itself couldn't care less.

  • It's the way Dustin writes the songs and the words he uses that I connect with. He says 'image of the "invisible"', 'an "unseen love"', 'children of "light"'. He doesn't use the word 'god'. The lyrics bring a unity amongst religions and even science. Read some quantum physics books and you'll see a connection there. Also he doesn't write negative songs. Even his seemingly dark songs have some thing postive in them, regarding Vheissu at least.

  • thrice is ......powerfull
