[SrkLgars]

king of the moshhpit!!!

[xmoodudex63]

HOLY SHIT, THIS MUSIC HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS! Fuck yes. Hardcore will never die. This shit is almost a religious experience. FUCK GOD, MOSH!

[Metallifuch]

@xmoodudex63 Does this music sound better when you're sober?

[xmoodudex63]

@Metallifuch

i see what you did there Mr TryHard

[Metallifuch]

@xmoodudex63 it was a serious question man, is it? I've yet to hear it sober and I want to know now!

[xmoodudex63]

@Metallifuch

Listen sober? seems your point is lost

[MollKitt]

@xmoodudex63

he seems to be a douche to you but why are so pissed off by his comments? If he doesnt get it why dont you explain it to him? Its not like he was insulting you.

[xmoodudex63]

@MollKitt

All he has to do is listen. Whats difficult?

[MollKitt]

@xmoodudex63

Oh boy, straight edge arrogance at its finest. Try to think outside the box, read between the lines, if his comment wasnt an troll attempt you can see that he is interested in the lifestyle and does want to know how it makes you guys live a "better" life. "If you don't hear/see it you're not worth it" is sometimes a fucked up attitude in such situations. Some people need other people to see such things, that's it.

[xmoodudex63]

@MollKitt

Arrogance? How?

All he has to do is be sober and listen? Its not hard.

I don't have to "DO" anything. I'm on the internet. I'm not obligated to help this guy understand the song. Straight Edge is my choice. I don't care to explain it to him or try to convince him.

Fuck off. I don't think of Straight Edge as some sort of elitist religion. If you want him to understand so badly then explain it to him. I'm not some poster child for the scene.

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Holy shit. That drummer's got it.

[iancoheekelsey]

We all go thru different phases in life. I hope he finds what ever he's looking for in life. Wishing bad on his for breaking edge is pathetic.

[roosta41]

is this the same venue as ruiners last show?

[TheRottenzombie]

SxE isn't even a lifestyle, is an idea, just a point of view about drugs, alcohol and addictions,. Respect, unity, standing for wahat you believe in and all of that is punk attitude!!!!

[VoliumX]

i fucking love jims violent dance moves!

[FORESTFIREMEDIA]

This is probably one of my favourite records to get drunk and stoned to. not even kidding

[lockUPyourGOD]

@RustyBAWLZ  Man up

[lockUPyourGOD]

@RustyBAWLZ

[mrssallybrown]

great song.great band.

[ekimusman2]

this song always gets me. so great.

[broentvideos]

very nice

[chrispyxxx]

I FUCKING LOVE CHAMPION.

[Uunster]

I just think its a cool way to say no.

[oxnard4life805]

Straight edge is the stupidest thing i ever heard of...why not just be clean for YOU...not for some "edge"...I grew up in Oxnard going to hardcore shows and to this day I still think that whole movement is ridiculous...MAYBE when your in highschool but after that it's just stupid IMO

[mymatryoshka]

Bullshit. Who cares how many times you slip up and give in to temptation? That's called being human. What matters is you making the right choice... To be poison free. Don't go around telling people that if they might make a mistake then don't even try. You're just discouraging people from being healthy in the name of a label.

[Maestrofreak]

thanks Champion, this band makes me feel really proud to be hardcore. Thanks a lot.

Be yourself, the world dont need more imitations

[bigmetaldude]

That was such an incredible show to be at.

[kyleatthepark]

my view was the number 141414. such an AMAZING BAND!!!!!!

[chris413roy]

edge or not this is what hardcores all about. people seem to forget that in all the labels they wanna throw around

[mylifeismatty]

anyone know what kind of bass the guy is playing?

[jvjpjm]

@mylifeismatty i think that's a standard Precision bass.

[ModernEpic00]

@mylifeismatty Fender Jazz bass

[ModernEpic00]

@mylifeismatty

[DubravaBoi]

Did he break the edge or no?

[daedeye]

If they broke edge, who cares!? SxE wants to be tolerated and so you Edge-Guys can tolerate us too. And many old SxE-People do alcohol sometimes if they just want to have a beer or a glass of whine.

Tolerate Champion, tolerate non-SxE People, tolerate this Hardcore-Thing and tolerate music.

Hardcore is about unity and family and all this stuff, so represent it. LIVE IT.

[Pilaf1984]

BREAK!!!

[route51]

If you guys ever "reunite" please come to Singapore for a show like Bane did....thanks...

[McKenna654]

[BenCampbell4]

@nicktheman2 with honor, shipwreck ad, betrayed, youth attack, miles away check those out i like them alot

[BenCampbell4]

@BenCampbell4 oo yea and death before dishonor of course

[Leva1234]

@nicktheman2 listen to some chain of strength, in my eyes and ten yard fight throw in some judge even though they don't sound like champion...

[alonsohc88]

nice man, check out go it alone, sinking ships, killing the dream maybe

[jacoboDrew]

donnybrooke, casey jones, blood stands still, terror, dynasty, and force of change. those bands are all dope as fuck as well.

[sinister0vampira]

try DANGERS

[XHippieHunterX]

Sinking Ships, Go It Alone, Betrayed.... all very good bands... And good god i wish i could see this show live again. Was AMAZING.

[xdanielxallenx]

i loved have heart at one point but they became the band that everyone talked about...good dudes tho. pat is cool as fuck.

as for other bands to check out...listen to Trash Talk, Rotting Out, Bad Seed, Blacklisted, Miles Away, Some Gave All, Sinking Ships, Ambitions, The Bonus Army, On, Shark Attack, Blue Monday, etc etc

all great bands. check em out.

ps: one of those bands up there are my own. just threw it in for self promotion =P

[napchampion]

@xdanielxallenx would that be some gave all? thats the only band ive never heard of that u listed

[xdanielxallenx]

@napchampion

haha i forgot that i ever posted that. but yea it was some gave all.

[newerawearer]

this is the hardcore i like.

Positive and generally upbeat.

too many bands procrastinate on subjects filled with hate.

[AbstainTheGrain]

@newerawearer Couldn't agree more.

[pashetube]

Sick!!

[Chaseb13]

would kill to have this happen one more time. i wanna go.

[5bye7]

me too

[Fishfliphatsock]

OMG OMG SO FUCKING SICK

[intothepit83]

They tried to break the best of us, but still our hearts are true to promises keeeeepppppppttttttt!!!!!

[Barnetomane]

This is energy, authenticity, and passion at the same time. This is Hardcore !

[newhookah]

not straight edge but champion is one of my favorites!

it dont matter, its music, but with a better message

[xmoodudex63]

Straight Edge is not about a song or a set of rules. Sure there are guidelines but what does that mean? i don't know. Edge is for yourself. I can't say if someone is or isn't. Fuck if Ian Fucking Mackaye said, "You are not straight edge" I would give him the middle finger and say,"Yes the fuck i am." I am poison free, monogamous, and I support my local North Carolina hardcore scene. Straight Edge.

[nick8874]

im not straight edge. who cares. i love champion. unity anyone?

[ramses2121]

i'm with you!

[ador508x]

lovin it. i like casey jones, have heart, hell even the "xinsert namex" bands hahaha they're fun and i share their values with a clean lifestyle wholeheartedly, i just dont wanna carry a name and tie myself down - cause that's how it would be for me

[CarryYourAsh]

@nick8874 hell ya.

[xjdmxninja]

@nick8874

dont have to be straight edge to appreciate great music.

wish CHAMPION was still around

[CarryYourAsh]

@nick8874 Hell yes. I'm not edge, but these guys are my favorite hardcore band. Rep the NW!

[adore2k9]

@nick8874 unity again and again brahh :)

[azudenwaffen]

@nick8874 i totally agree with you bro!

[ItsTheTrickAttack]

HOLY SHIT

XXX

[LiquidTensions]

Im gonna try listen to them when I work out now.

[jimmybomb11]

[xblackholesun]

[hartattack933]

Me too dude. Like no lie.

[Lasti6]

[shornosorhus]

Fuck Yeah!

[theCODYstrain]

this is quite possibly one of the most significant bands in my entire life, they've made me a better person just by doing what they do.

this video sends chills down my spine.

[gjmsparrer]

xSkinxEdgex

[ANDREZMARTINEZHOYOS]

[juraOiOiOi]

[xMATHEEWx]

[NEDM1991]

lol

[ume511]

i love this band ,they are one of the best, and i am straight edge so it sucked when i found out that their vocalist broke edge

[f1chunk]

nice try dickweed

[jvjpjm]

he broke the edge, so what? sXe is not totalitarian movement, you know?

[novel5]

who did

[maulex18]

@jvjpjm he broke ?!

[chinabin123]

@jvjpjm yeah i know same with verse one of the members broke edge but why split up doesnt mean the music should be no more.

[flubber805]

@jvjpjmi love champion and i'm not straight edge but if you cant take commitment don't do it in the first place.

[xburgerx]

@flubber805 i am straightedge... and its awesome to hear someone whos not think this way.

[drumsallout]

@jvjpjm I agree with you. But if your going to write songs and stand for something like straightedge and then break it...just seems silly to me. Idk you know? They are a straight edge band. (were a straight edge band)

[f1chunk]

@drumsallout @jvjpjm NO ONE IN CHAMPION SOLD OUT.

[hardcoredeathcruster]

Damn straight!!!!! BREAK!!!!! I wish they were still around, i'd be there in a heartbeat.

Champion!!!

[hllwnevil]

im not straight edge,thinks its trendy...

until i heard this song,because you cant fucking deny the passion of this song.made me open up my eyes to straight edge

[cgra90]

If it takes a song to make you edge, you're not edge.

jokes are all on you.

love champion. no cares.

[Palmerman315]

Calm down chappy.

[xramonexgeekx]

1:03

can any pro drummer tell me how this guy is playing those fills???

[FurtherIllusions]

The secret with a lot of them is he is using a double pedal. You substitutes some hits for that double bass sound.

[xramonexgeekx]

man, if he was really using a double pedal, then i'm very disappointed.

[Jewski530]

He isn't using a double bass pedal.

If you look closely during the fill, his left foot is counting off on the hi-hats.

The thing that puzzles me is that I can hear the snare during the fill, but I don't see him hitting the snare.

[tokenfyp]

yeah hes using a double pedal. you can hear it in the warm-up at the beginning.

its a hardcore baand, most of them play with one.

i dont think you should be dissapointed. its a great fill. and it sounds good.

[ohcamarillo]

haha yeah he had a double bass pedal, but he used it just for the intro, in the song he was counting off on the hi-hats with the left foot so he didnt use it there

[f1chunk]

no double bass pedal- i swear. it's not that i'm opposed to them; i just never used one in champion. honest. listen to the song on the full-length; you can hear it a bit easier on that. at this show i used 2 floor toms, and they were eq'd really slappy.

[ohcamarillo]

no way, r u the drummer of champion?

[f1chunk]

yes. hi!

[placeofindigo]

yeh from the looks of things its a single kick, but the rack tom and floor tom are taking a beating. im trying to work out that fast bit before the first verse ... there is a great drum cover out there check it

[cmgthorson]

i think he is doing double, it sounds like it during the song and in the beginning his left and right foot are both moving fast. whats the link for that drum cover?

[illplaythevictim]

one of his feet is on the bass drum pedal and the other is on the hi hat pedal

[tompkins61]

yo my band competition covered this song last night. nothing like this tho fuckin love you guys

[denniseck3]

way to use the 7 year rule. fucker.

[ScrapsAndHeartAttack]

nicely said

[f1chunk]

no double bass pedal- it's a lot easier than it sounds i guess- 3 single strokes on the floor, followed by 1 hit on the bass drum; sounds like 4 on the bass, but it's not.

[teamcomu]

promises kept.

alone in a crowd, but we're still standing strong.

Times like these are what we live for

These days are more than we'd ever hoped for

We're still here, and we'll never forget the words we fuckin'

Time flies by, and the promises made will stay with us through our lives.

We're not finished yet, that's right.

They tried to break the best of us,
