August Burns Red - "Existence"

[ATRmLedZ127]

1:13-2:04 gets me lost in the music everytime, lyrically beautiful, melody, and passion... easily my favorite part of any song i've ever listened to.

[HE11FIRE100]

We need to vote down on the SOPA bill.... For the sake of the internet and free speech.

[WACKENOPENAlR]

who gives a fuck about christian bands? in 2000 year people might read lord of the ring books and also think it really happened shit..  just cuz its a christian band doesnt mean their music is, their lyrics fit to my life and not to god thats why i listen to them... da fuck?! >_<

[ipartywithjesus]

@WACKENOPENAlR to each his own

[WACKENOPENAlR]

@ipartywithjesus indeed to each his own, but some people are mad at others for that.. =l

[ipartywithjesus]

@WACKENOPENAlR this is the sad, sad truth indeed

[tougekid1]

2:50 to the end of the song is a Reminder For You and Everyone

[zzgustavzz]

To all August Burn Red fans:

watch?v=KYsHUpG-2nM&feature=re­lated

Impressive work!

[lunchboxlvl50]

@mrBIGSandlilman Sir, someone already did this on another August Burns Red video, and it was funny. However, since this is the second one I've seen, I will not thumbs it up. Maybe others, but not me.

[mrBIGSandlilman]

This song makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE, go the pearly gate, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for Buddha, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, cry myself to sleep. Wake up.. Repeat.

[IAmProbablyMike]

@mrBIGSandlilman you witty bastard.

[JWZ070DABEST]

Seeing them live tomorrow, can't bloody wait!

[xXxMrsGontierxXx]

@Thejigsaw456 you also forgot wolves at the gate <3

[hijodeganas]

I wish I could like this song 1000 times. Or more. Love the lyrics to this song. So true that so many of us never stretch ourselves til we reach our wits end. That's too bad.

[Thundras]

I never understood all those "orgasm" comments, but oh my god.. I totally understand now (6)

[ThatApatheticNinja]

Apart from the kickass music and skills, what I love about ABR are their lyrics. They make the songs so much more meaningful.

[swordmasteral]

Ilove the clip at the start :3

[fisk0411]

What ABR has that most bands now a days lack: Passion. That is why their music is so great.

[papacdub1]

i would never excuse my life august burns red. what you say goes

[TylersOasis]

Martyrdom begins at 3:08

[freerunner770]

August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, Demon Hunter, ect...

IT'S ALL GOOD!

[chargers1337]

@freerunner770 I agree, man. My other favorites are For Today, War of Ages, and A Plea For Purging. I love all of those bands, because I'm diffenently going to get use to their music.

[Slazors]

@freerunner770

You forgot Parkway Drive, douchebag.

[kurzy55]

I don't agree with what there music is about 'cause i'm an atheist but god damn there level of musicianship is just amazing.

[hvymtlrlz87]

@kurzy55 This atheist loves August Burns Red, Demon Hunter, Destroy the Runner (original singer), Mychildren Mybride, and Still Remains. Idc what their lyrics are about.

[ben242011]

2:55-3:08 is so freakin epic!!!

[dsan224]

0:51 SOO HEAVY!!

[MegaOpticBlast]

i recomend (oh sleeper) to you guys

[MegaOpticBlast]

oh sleeper is the best band this comes second

[fisk0411]

@MegaOpticBlast Underoath wrote their music 6 years ago. =\

[esadb11]

I cant stand to read the comments on ABR videos. It just reminds me how retarded everyone is.

[ImAWayTooHigh]

I hope those little people will finaly get the moon ... i need to know ... lets go see all other video ...

[Thejigsaw456]

Their vocalist said and i quote "I dont know what the difference between a christian band and 5 christians in a band" hes saying that they are a christian band. Whats so bad about that? So what, they express their faith through music and people always argue that they arent a christian band. If they arent a christian band i dont know what is.

[ICommentedI]

@MrArunlama MINDFUCK *explode*

[zippie999]

''Don't excuse youself from life today, on the pretense of your past'' <3 just epic

[immadeofwaxdanii]

Genres are so messed up now'a days. Someone told me about cheesecore? That's a getting a little ridiculous.

[lovezpoptartz]

@immadeofwaxdanii My band's guitarist told me about "crapcore"? Apparently, it's when you spread your legs and lean forward during a breakdown and makes you look like you're constipated? So dumb.

[BrianLengendary]

@lovezpoptartz I think he meant  "Crabcore"

[lovezpoptartz]

@BrianLengendary Whatever he meant, it's bullshit. Lol.

[1337DrummerNate]

i am now obsessed with the drum beat from 2:50 to 3:10 this band has the coolest grooves ever!

[woogiepooh1995]

@1337DrummerNate im obsessed with the whole song all day today i don't know why maybe because its such an amazing song

[Trustguy5]

Its fucking metalcore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrumBadAss]

HOly breakdown?! :D

[jdwilson909]

The 3 dislikes are obviously mis-clicks.

[willtron3000]

@GuitariousMaximus evidently your ears are broken.

[hopecantsavethedead]

If you enjoy technical progressive metal youtube "Hope Can't Save The Dead 2010" You won't be disappointed!

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

2:51 Diabolical Fucking Breakdown.

[bensoco]

August Burns Red is hands down my favorite band. As cliche as this might seem, I urge you guys to check out my band - youtube.com/user/marislaneOFFI­CIAL . We're definitely influenced by these guys but our vocalist sounds nothing like these clone bands that are so prevalent nowadays. If you do decide to check us out I greatly appreciate and would love to hear your bands too!

[SilentScreamer76]

August burns red and For today I think are the best Christian metal bands

[legnd1256]

as i lay dying has some good songs, dont hate compleatly.

[Danimal1q2w3]

The drummer is fucking crazy.....

[Thejigsaw456]

Born of osirus and well aild's new album is pretty good

[skullking42]

love the video :) keep it up

[CresentMoonGuy]

I hope it wakes me up soon...

[Thejigsaw456]

Best two metal Christian bands: as I lay dying and august burns red

[GuitariousMaximus]

@Thejigsaw456 whose the best without the christian?AILD sucks btw

[niklasrd]

@GuitariousMaximus Dude YOU suck. (show some respect.)

[GuitariousMaximus]

naw i honestly think theey suck despite their drummer and guitarist being awsome.i jus think their sound is disgusting except for a few songs.(in other words i think they suck)

[beingthewanted94]

@GuitariousMaximus you think august burns red suck??? are you drunk or shomething o_0

[GuitariousMaximus]

@beingthewanted94 NOOOOO i Think that AS I lay dying

[beingthewanted94]

@GuitariousMaximus as i lay dying is awesome toooo

[AmatureAnarchy]

@GuitariousMaximus  your either drunk,fucking high are gay

[GuitariousMaximus]

@AmatureAnarchy im none of them thank u very much....and besides u wouldnt think im gay afte ru see wat i do to ur mom....

[Trustguy5]

@GuitariousMaximus did not do :P

[hawkeyefan3]

@Thejigsaw456 No. The best two Christian metal bands are: august burns red and august burns red.

[blizatalica]

@hawkeyefan3 No, As I Lay Dying kicks ass too, look up "sound of truth" and tell me it doesn't kick ass, along with an ocean between us and others, Killswitch Engage has some good songs

[Vasckin]

@hawkeyefan3 check out oh sleeper :)

[FanCryoshell]

@Vasckin Oh, Sleeper is my favourite band! :DDD But DOn't get me wrong, ABR is the second most epic band ever!

[bb0ynotabb0y1]

@FanCryoshell Never heard of Oh, Sleeper till now. great band thanks for the recommendation lol

[nightwhatchman]

@Thejigsaw456 AILD aren't a christian band they're just a band that all the members are christians

[Thejigsaw456]

@nightwhatchman AILD consists of only christian members and writes all their music through a christian's point of veiw..........yep their definatley not christian

[nightwhatchman]

@Thejigsaw456 It doesn't matter whether a band is all christian or not that doesn't mean it has to be a christian band, there's a difference. They say it themselves they keep their faith personal and write normal lyrics

[Thejigsaw456]

@nightwhatchman "I dont know what the difference is between 5 christians in a band and a christian band" -As I Lay Dying vocalist, Tim lambesis. He is saying that they are indeed a christian band. If they arent a christian band, I dont know what is

[ilikepieandsquaids]

@Thejigsaw456 id say the devil wears prada and august burns red

[GreenDay951000]

@Thejigsaw456 + The devil wears prada ;D

[ChaseB3750]

@Thejigsaw456 along with for today and impending doom, but i agree ;)

[awesomeguy165]

@Thejigsaw456 nope.

[ifonlyyouandi57]

@Thejigsaw456 you can't forget oh, sleeper

[lTheMeddlerl]

@Thejigsaw456 You forgot The Devil Wears Prada.

[scruffy688]

@lTheMeddlerl I must say, I've never really gotten into The Devil Wears Prada. Dunno why... O_o

[VFAndyyyVF]

@scruffy688 I'm the same. They're fairly similar to August Burns Red. Similar riffs, similar lack of clean vocals, but yeah, I prefer ABR to TDWP. I think I just prefer the riffs in ABR.

[xTheEmilyx]

"The walls of a church don't make it holy." <333

[Hadeska1990]

I really like ABR..but in my opinion.. Alesana is much better than ABR :D..

[Directorbbz]

@Hadeska1990 Do me a favor and don't ever compare them again. ._.

[kylem1112]

@Directorbbz agreed....

[kylem1112]

@Hadeska1990 just looked them up and they look like a bunch of girls.and the musical composition isn't even comparable. but that's my opinion

[Doktrpeppr7]

The rappers and metal haters can excuse themselves from life today :)

[SonofRa47]

ABR are one of the most talented bands out there

drums are fuckin awesome

guitars are bad ass

and vocals are pretty down

[Kevooi]

@SonofRa47

Not to mention some of the most soul-devouring riffs I've heard from any single band

[SonofRa47]

@Kevooi amen

[Rigar93]

ROCK ON!!!! August Burns Red is AMAZING!!!!

[totallygames]

No joke, I would have killed myself if it weren't for this song

[girraffesrox]

August Burns Red and For Today!

[es744379]

One of my fave bands. If anyone is interested check out a band called "With Life In Mind" on youtube. They have a similar sound. Oh and they got a music video up too.

[redpolska]

"ARE YOU AT YOUR WITS END YEEEEEEEEAAHAHAHAHT? *epic double bass hits*

[chocolatecoockie]

1:26 Idk why but Matt with that beard reminds me of Jesus.

[andy5190]

The audio quality is insufferable. Please code in at least 256kbps. Or get a better source.

[SAHAQU1EL]

Jodanse Putos Blackmetaleros :)

VIVA EL UNBLACK METAL!!!

[masonandcolour]

"Security isn't glitzy or glamorous, concrete or cohesive. Therein lies the truth."

can someone kinda give me the meaning of this part?

i cant really grasp it.

[anutoldlegend89]

@masonandcolour He means that the word of god is not about how nice it looks and seems, it's about the words in it. It's also a reference to thge church as well, going with that same meaning.

[Vitaalzx]

Rules before watching a Metal video:

I Thou shalt not make fucking retarded Justin Bieber Jokes

IV Thou shalt stay on topic in the comment boxes

V Thou shalt spread word of the decrees

~Underground Youtube Decrees~

Disobeying the decrees will doom you to a Youtube afterlife filled with bad rap music and male enhancement advertisements

Copy and paste if u want

[gravebag]

@Vitaalzx your such a fucking queer for posting this on this video. no one gives a shit and no wants to read it. stop acting like such a bad ass and just listen to the song

[ElysionFieldsBand]

For fans of August Burns Red and bands associated with them check out Elysion Fields from Chicago IL!!

[z0mgzt0m]

these lyrics are like fucking poetry, although this is an christian band and im athiest, they sure do make FUCKING GOOD MUSIC :)

[jarrenh1]

@z0mgzt0m Actually they stated their not a christian band, but a band with christian influences

[z0mgzt0m]

@jarrenh1 Yeah sorry i keep doing that, i call bands christian when i know they dont talk about god in their music my bad :P

[Ex0dias]

AUGUST BURNS RED FOR LIFE!!!!

[Josh12123434]

the first 2 notes sound like the ntoes to Riot by Three Days Grace. there played in teh same way 2 lool

[bmxbros283]

@Josh12123434 great point i jus noticed that too

lol i like your user name my name is josh too

[Josh12123434]

@bmxbros283 lmao mine 2 which is y i picked it haha

[BlackGunChariot]

great song,but the epic breakdown appears too late. ;o

[aporchmonkey]

@TrSYeTi Too bad that over 70% of the world, and over 80% of people with computers wouldn't qualify.

[JusticeAndTaylorShow]

@aporchmonkey i like your username.

[finbar908]

the one bad thing about this song...the solo is epic, but its only like 10 seconds :(

[MetalxXxMayhem]

If this is screamo, its good screamo. Better than a lot of the other crap out there.

[xChallisx]

@MetalxXxMayhem Thankfully this isn't screamo.

[136034pcti]

@xChallisx BUT IT IS

[xChallisx]

@136034pcti I would call this metalcore with some progressive aspects. Just because the vocalist screams doesn't mean this is screamo...

[bmxbros283]

@xChallisx i agree i listen to screamo a lot and in it the words are not as clear as this

[bmxbros283]

@xChallisx still awesome though

[Zzrc1538zZ]

honestly im sick of people arguing about insignificant subgenres. ok. its rock. get over yourselves.

[kirk45hammett]

In one of the heaviest songs I've heard from them.. He says "glitziest" lol.

[ranDUMBstuffTV]

Only abr can take the word "glitzy" and make it sound extremely manly.

[TeoPRS91]

for the last fucking time.It's not screamo!

[Hunt2deth43]

@TeoPRS91 ya, i agree lol. its all music. music is the genre, there. lol

[deadlywolf99]

@TeoPRS91 well arent you a dick!

[trackboi512]

its like a scream-o sermon!! i love it!

[BalistikTom]

how about that geeetarrr solo,,,,,DAYYYYYYYMMMMM

[miler726]

DON'T EXCUSE YOURSELF FROM LIFE TODAY, ON THE PRETENSE, OF, YOUR, PAAAAAAST, OH!!!!!

[Ultimatesoccerfreak2]

Are YOU at your wits end yet?!

[imzackable]

@Ultimatesoccerfreak2 Owned.  Show him who's boss.

[hype204]

1:53 Damnnn i love that part kicks ass !!!!

[cell2123]

kinda lame that there christian but still kick fucking ass!!!!!!!!

[MIBxXxX]

@cell213 How does that make them lame?

[sheroMaggot95]

@cell2123 the band isn't christian but the members are christian.

[CollinStaysBrutal69]

@sheroMaggot95 are you serious? have you ever even listened to the lyrics in some of their songs? they're definitely a christian band.

[SGSHADOWOD]

@sheroMaggot95 As stated by the band as a whole, they are a Christian band that has Christian messages in their songs but they present their Christian beliefs to their crowd "without trying to ram it down their throats."

[Endnuenfyr]

This is total old school In Flames rip off?

[abrmessengers18]

@Endnuenfyr in flames rip off?dffrent sound buddy

[Endnuenfyr]

@abrmessengers18 Are you talking about old In Flames? Like "The Jester Race" and "Whoracle"?

[HunterNaruX]

1:50 wooooow woooooooooooooooo wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooow o0000000

[laserflip1029]

August burns red and Devil wears prada is beast

[COOLBEANS8029]

@laserflip1029 Tdwp used to be me favorite band until i got in to the skill, not to bash Tdwp tho :)

[olsalesd]

@laserflip1029 are*** best, lol. 2 bands listed, so you would use the plural, not the singular.

[darkismypassion]

@laserflip1029 try miss may i

[chile0wns]

@laserflip1029 ABR is like 10 times better though. just saying

[WeirdoNabido]

@chile0wns they're both amazing. tdwp is more famous though. i like abr better but yeah they're both amazing

[drj260]

@laserflip1029 The grammatically correct statement would be "August Burns Red and Devil Wears Prada are beast."

[Fatal12345]

@laserflip1029 i actually would love to see ABR and Parkway drive together for a tour, now for me that would be an amazing night \m/

[Drumalot89]

@laserflip1029 YESSS!!!! TDWP<3

[haunter600]

@laserflip1029 TDWP is fucking shit.

[HunterNaruX]

[A7XRules4life]

God damn, I cannot find the right words to express how much I love these guys. My favorite band!

[KevHxC]

their lyrics are nothing but pure inspiration and enlightening. if you can understand them ofcourse, if you cant, just listen to the amazing riffs and drumming haha

[TheSpazable]

This Song changed my life. i love jesus through music i got 2 be a christian through this band. Thank you for saving me God.
