The Contortionist - Shapeshifter

[MrFlyingbatwing888]

there should be people throwing the fuck down at this. obviously this wasn't in mass

[BillyandBarry]

why does the mic always have low volume at contortionist shows?

[ryankuisti]

that crowd is a joke

[bearsinmybackyard]

nobody is tired of breakdowns yet. this more than anything about music today kills me.

[TheRadrussian1]

@bearsinmybackyard why? breakdowns are fucken dope.

[aarongtr180]

@TheRadrussian1 They're really unoriginal and boring. There's only so much you can do with open strings and a cymbal in the background. I don't really understand the appeal of having four of those sections in a song anyway. But to each their own, I guess.

[TheRadrussian1]

@aarongtr180 eh well to each his own i suppose. to me its not what u play its how you play it. and in my opinion the contortionist does it pretty well. check out my buddys band aranea on facebook or youtube. let me know what you think. lots of complex guitar parts and whatnot.

[DeepSeaCreature666]

Current singer back left?

[psshson]

lol were they playing in a basement?

dope shit tho..

[jordan221100]

They look like they would be a shitty group to play a show for....

[cdm100488]

your drummer suck hairy nutz my homie gary could blow ur panties off ..he could do better with one hand and one foot...only faggot little kids and skunk head gurls go to shit like that...listen to some rose funeral or decrepit birth and do a show worth a fuck

[ThatSillyMosher]

@cdm100488 did you listen to exoplanet?

[Therobbieperson]

@cdm100488 Yeah, listen to exoplanet my freind. Its MUCH better, the fucking sweeps will blow your mind.

[JimmyBagODonuts]

@cdm100488 rose funeral? the makers of death uno?

[cdm100488]

@JimmyBagODonuts yep..some fuck faces said they were gonna play uno in the middle of their show to show they didnt like rose funeral...the whole band jumped off stage and beat seven shades of shit outta them..(i dont like fuckin rabbitz comin in my house i keel em.GUMMO)

[JimmyBagODonuts]

@cdm100488 i'm not really a fan of rose funeral's older stuff... everything sounded the same... i heard their new stuff is pretty amazing... nonetheless, i think its a dick move to disrespect bands like that... never seen "seven shades of shit" before, but if its like 2girls1cup, i'll pass...

[r700Lux]

@cdm100488 bahahahahah i love gumo. fuck yeah

[myfreakinchannel]

who cares about the fact that there were "emo" or "scene" kids there. stop fucking labelling people based on how they look... besides they were the ones who were at the show. and you werent. fuck off. appreciate the band, dont talk shit about the crowd.

[nanthil]

scene chick looks like a dood

[2dum2liv]

i wish they still had this much energy at their shows now a days.

[iklesammykins]

thats a gay crowd

[Rezkai]

Bad quality but the stage presence is amazing. Nothing sets a band off better than incredible stage presence.

[MegaIbanezguy]

because stages are over-rated.

[dolphin2ex]

GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY!!!!!!!!!!

[AAfanbroxx]

1:45 lol..

[AAfanbroxx]

1:44 lol...

[LimblessS]

i cant believe The Contortionist used to be this shitty. so much better now, Exoplanet is fucking incredible.

[Marcusbpt49]

HOLY FUCK!! Was that Jonathan at 0:38?!?!

[drumurdroid]

WHO FUCKING CARES WHO MOVES WHO DOESN'T FUCKIN MOVE. JESUS CHRIIIISSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSGHKS­DFJBHDCVN

[b4mvroxursox]

Why aren't they jumping around, they're all just standing there?! ...Wasted space some REAL fans could be having.

[GuItArKiKsAsS]

is the guitarist stage left the only original member in this video?

[12Ominous]

@MahleoHD I don't identify with any sub culture, they're all stupid.

[12Ominous]

@MahleoHD *You're

[PPPatrickWWW]

you know how you can tell that this is before they got quite a bit bigger (other than the date and the size of the venue)? One of the guitar players is playing a Peavey Valveking.. Not a bad amp but not exactly professional musician gear lol. I saw them a couple months ago and they were fucking epic though

[joshwaste89]

contortionist > jonas brothers >chealsea grin

[moelf5]

@joshwaste89 CG kicks ass dude, go listen to jonas brothers

[UWANTSOMEGOODCK]

Hey Chelsea grin is beast

[oblivion5141]

@UWANTSOMEGOODCK Hey The Contortionist is beast

[lowlifeEK]

@oblivion5141 probably the most retarded way to describe anything

[lowlifeEK]

@oblivion5141 no crying here, tough guy. just stating that you sound like some call of duty 10 year old who digs hot topic. hmmm...resemblance?

[Roos15]

@UWANTSOMEGOODCK no they arnt



[kiidso0freshh]

Can we ALL just give one BIG "LMFAO" to the fool who just said chelsea grin.

stay under your rock with asking alexandria please,

[kashbattaglia]

god that crowd sucks.. if i was there i would be fucking shit up.

[HardHouseMan1]

Even before this style was popular, they were playing it like it's been around for years. Love it!

[MahleoHD]

@120minous your fucking scene dude. im done.

[12Ominous]

It's Chelsea Grin!!! O wait.......it's just a Chelsea Grin Knock off.......disappointing.

[damios1]

@12Ominous LOL Chelsea Grin? They're such a worthless band. Stupid death metal

[MainForceOfEvil]

@damios1 Chelsea Grin? Death Metal? You must be joking right? That shit is Hardcore Punk. All of Deathcore is Hardcore Punk :P Suffocation, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse are Death Metal. Come on man...

[xIFORGOTTOPULLOUTx]

@MainForceOfEvil Deathcore is Hardcore Punk??? LOLOLOLOLOL I'll agree that CG isn't Death Metal....but it's NOWHERE close to Hardcore Punk.......Black Flag, Minor Threat, even newer hardcore would be Throwdown, Hatebreed, and Winds of Plague has fused Deathcore/Hardcore soooo yeah CG is nowhere near hardcore punk js

[MainForceOfEvil]

@xIFORGOTTOPULLOUTx I said that just to get back at that stupid faggot who thinks that CG is Death Metal. I know CG is Deathcore. Deathcore is far different from Death Metal. Besides, Deathcore does have some Hardcore Punk influences. Deathcore is generic Death Metal influenced Metalcore, Metalcore is Metal influenced Hardcore Punk hence the "core" after Metal. Deathcore is it's own thing, it's neither Hardcore nor Metal.

[xIFORGOTTOPULLOUTx]

@MainForceOfEvil well i agree with u on that one....i didnt really even read the other guys comment to tell wat he said, so for not understanding the conversation fully, i apologize

[yumadthololol]

@12Ominous this sounds nothing like chelsea grin, wtf lol

[SuRRePPtiOUsWritings]

@12Ominous you must be new here. 

[lambofmetallica]

fuck yeah DROP G# !!!!!!

[HKFiftyOne]

[bodhiskyy]

[AETOGenny]

best thing to listen to after a few hits of the bong. :)

[keatonisballin]

0:50. DAMN. Awesome breakdown.

[nopity4acowardx]

This looks like so much fun :D

[ThatSillyMosher]

i remember watching this in 08 thinking what the fuck, but Exoplanet has to be one of my favourite albums of any bands.

[duronjoshua]

@ThatSillyMosher i was just about to comment this..lol \m/

[iCecilJacksonI]

@ThatSillyMosher MAAAAAAAAAAAN BUT APPARITION IS SO MUCH BETTER.

[johnnie5ive]

fak! that is seriously the best live house party show ive ever seen

[EuMilo]

0:50 THAT is how a breakdown is supposed to look

[deathmetalinsanity54]

this is the MoSt oRiGiNaL tHiNg iVe EvEr HeArD iN mY LiFe

[APairofPaylessShoes]

Er... i find this video difficult to masturbate too.. ;/

[OrdinaryEve]

oh that guy in the corner wearing the hoodie is too hardass to move around.

[NDiLoreto2007]

@OrdinaryEve That guy in the corner with the hoodie is the "new" vocalist in exoplanet. haha

[crazyazn007]

My fucking hero's <3 <3

[dopefiend138]

idk why people are bitching about the emos. seems like the only people who will listen to this crap

[mattdoyle11]

@dopefiend138 how is living without a penis?

[SICKSxNINE]

@dopefiend138 I remember when I didn't listen to good music.

[Deadbolt13]

At 30 seconds you see such an ugly horrible creature............ Why do emo ppl walk this world?

[Manoffire959]

Damn they get LOW

[E7uber9000]

@Manoffire959 drop g# motha fucka :3

[musicmaster555]

If you become a scene kid to date hot scene chicks... You're in for a world of disappointment because the term hot and sence/emo chick NEVER end up in the same phrase... Finding a hot sceenie weenie is like is like trying to earn respect as a male scene kid... It's 100% impossible

just some advice for the wayward Jr. high kid looking for something new to get into...

[Wurstkreatur]

i just couldn´t stand still O_o

[JustinVanDyke]

I love that the only "brotha" in there knows the lyrics better than anyone, lol.

[lmlopethlml]

@JustinVanDyke looks like their merch guy. he' a cool guy. Actually, he taught me how to stage dive. ya, cool guy.

[NDiLoreto2007]

@JustinVanDyke he used to merch for them.

[Coleman7293]

is this even the same band that released Exoplanet? O.o

[xclevengerx]

the realest

[crazyface64086]

sic

[rockluverx2]

6 months and im addicted. They were babies!

[ayeitsmerr]

I've been following you guys for about 3 years now and this is still one of my favourite songs and live videos of all time:]. you guys have something that others don't.

keep it up!!!

[Z0mfgn33b111]

I clicked cause the picture looked like adam sandler

[Pianomeldic]

i love that dancing guitarist <3 hahaa

[SquareWand]

ogghghh,, ,dear god, buy a compressor homes you guys are signed no?

[304754]

I like the music. I just don't like the weird squating thing. :P

[bigstabby]

@304754 Yeah it's a little painful to watch.lol 

[JosephR00lzD00d]

@304754 They're fucking bouncing, bro. Let them get the job done.

[sebastian696969]

@304754 thats the best part lol xD

[WOOLSTENHULME09]

i wouldve punched every bitch who just stood there right in the face whilst head-banging. thats a metal show, go be gay somewhere else.

[doolb666]

fuck i hate the bullshit crabcore crouch head banging bullshit and faggot ass two stepping but this bands music is absolutely fuckin amazing

[treeburner]

@doolb666 so you rather have people headbang standing still? that looks fucking gay

[doolb666]

@treeburner not as gay as squatting like your getting butt fucked, either way i didn't come here to argue, this band is amazing no matter what kinda shit they do while playing

[iskateboardxxx]

Fucking wicked snare! lol

[jacksondinky87]

CHECK OUT ARISTEIA NEW SONG AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD IT @ TOTAL DEATHCORE FOR FREE, HEAVY SHIT TO SICK TO MISS OUT ON NO BS!!!!!!!

[PcCAvioN]

i've said it before and i'll say it again, not everybody lives and dies by the mosh. if you people are gonna complain about a bad crowd, go be a dead-head and follow them to every show and be a 'good' crowd. I don't see what's wrong with wanting to listen to the music at a live show instead of making it just a drunken blurr by moshing all night anyway.

[DylNewman]

@PcCAvioN EVERYONE LIVES AND DIES BY THE MOSH

[misery8305]

fuk i love this shit but i hate seeing that god damn crab walk shit

and sync headbanging god damnit

[ShowNoMercy87]

greatest band of all time, indiana represent haha!

[heLLizable]

Those emo-scene cocksucking bastards are just moving their body a bit back and forth... This band deserves more!!!!!

[InShatteredMolds]

bunch of fucking hipster kids....music has been failing for the past 10 years easily..look at these clowsn what in the fuck?!

[stillhater112]

@InShatteredMolds how the fuck do these kids look like hipsters? learn your music before you say some stupid shit like that, dumbass.

[rockluverx2]

@stillhater112 I laughed. The way you look or dress shouldnt even fucking matter with music brother. Its all just a damned trend. Quit bashing or gtfo.

[Zinkboy123]

I love this video cause one the song and the random black guy. Just proves that not all black people like rap

[888FISH888]

[maggotuntilidie]

@Everyone that replied to my comment

I bought it,listened to it,and loved it

[dyingfuckingfetus253]

why in the fuck do people call this band Progressive? This sounds like every other core band. Some of their other shit is very prog though,but not this shit.

[matteoboscolotube]

@dyingfuckingfetus253 listen to the new album
