trivium a gunshot to the head of trepidation

[honeybee7991]

individual perspective

[honeybee7991]

by the way... fuck the meaning its all about the mood the song sets im just saying........

[honeybee7991]

i saw a video of this song at ozzfest, changed my perspective of live music forever

[meshuggah220]

Who else knows the meaning of trepidation?

[rockstribute]

@meshuggah220 no entirely, but its something to do with family issues like wife beating (not 100%) go google/wikipedia it, quicker nd better answer and no trolls tellng you bullshit

[meshuggah220]

@rockstribute I know it. That's why i asked who ELSE knows the meaning. And it's basically apprehension or fearfulness.

[rockstribute]

@meshuggah220 ahh fair, misread that

[UKLegendUK]

@meshuggah220 I know the song was about a case where this woman drowned her children because they were "beyond redemption" or something like that... Therefore I'd say trepidation is child abuse/neglect?

[shariotoflove]

@UKLegendUK no the song is about child abuse, but trepidation means fear and terror.

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@UKLegendUK nono, entrance of the conflagration is about a woman drowning her kids. This is just a general "abusing your family is wrong" type thing

[UKLegendUK]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot Ahhh yes, thank you haha, I knew it was this one or that

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@UKLegendUK No worries man ;D

[heinzie5]

@malechauvinistxy you are coming across as a bit lame xD

[oxoxBlackAngelxoxo]

why MUST people get on youtube to comment about OTHER songs and artists on videos??? its fucking retarded!!!!! Your at THIS video to listen to THIS song. so stfu and listen.

[RickFox83]

DAMN RIGHT

[RickFox83]

TRIVIUM 

[51Sarge51]

I heard this song about 5 years ago. I am yet to hear a better guitar solo.

[NAUGHTON96]

Never gets old, Great Song!

[Nathanb6424]

Drop D In Studio Version But Drop C When Played Live =P

[dayaftertomorrow1]

@Nathanb6424

Drop C#. Not C. I saw them a few days ago, and it's easy to say that they play everything half step lower. Drop D songs in Drop C#, E standard songs in Eb standard, B (7 string) in A#. In Waves is in Drop C#

[Psychoguy99]

@dayaftertomorrow1 your the first person on youtube ive seen besides myself that actually knows wat your talking about wen it comes to song tunings.

[S4v4geBeast]

Fucking yes. Happy ginger now :3

[1number1metalhead]

shitty quality but that doesnt matter cuzz the lyrics arent on the screen :)

[Jamora]

This song sounds heavy as fuck in drop c tuning.

[Shaydy6969]

@Jamora It's in drop c?? Fuuuuck thats awesome I couldn't tell by ear.

[Jamora]

@Shaydy6969 The recorded version(the version in this video) is in Drop D. But, this song sounds A LOT heavier in Drop C. Just incase you got confused.

[Shaydy6969]

@Jamora oh nice. Thanx for the knowledge XD

[0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

this fucking duck tape it making me furious right now.

[WolfmotherSongs]

I've been listening to this song for 5 years.... still good

[theGuyYouHate01]

@WolfmotherSongs

I'e been listening to it for 5 hours, for 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months, 5 years........4 hours a day back to back while cooking crystal meth and taking care of a miniature Christmas tree, and I have no legs. Beat that

[happybirthdayhomie]

i dont get whats the big deal with all these sub genres of metal, i.e. metalcore, NU metal, heavy metal, cant we just get over all this and accept that it is just METAL in general. damn good metal at that.

[venomousmidian]

@happybirthdayhomie finally some one that makes sense....

[redwing104]

@happybirthdayhomie It's the same reason for why there are many sub-genres to most music, because it generally has very similar traits, but it differs enough to be considered a sub-genre, just not enough to be an entirely new genre

[15viceandvirtues]

Not a metalcore fan, but the amount of insult and disrespect this band gets just isn't fair. In my opinion, Matt and Corey are good guitarists, the band is good at what they do.

[theMOONRUNNERZ]

This stuff is very nostalgic.. i shouldve never have stopped listening to them=')

[M2OxFREESTYLE4E]

headshot

[RenardWarrior]

i hate metalcore, but trivium is something special. very good riffing!

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@RenardWarrior Trivium isn't Metalcore, more like Thrash Metal with some Metalcore, but you're entitled to your own opinion.

[groompykon25]

best band ever xDD

[NAUGHTON96]

Gay Vocals? Lets see if you can sing like Matt Heafy

[groompykon25]

@NAUGHTON96 bro i agree matt izz a fuckin badass singer and people who talke shit about this band is gay

[DimeRR5150]

They performed this live!!

[cookiemonsteryummy2]

HOW THE FUCK DOES MATT SOUND LIKE JAMES!?!?!?!?! MATT IS MATT, DO NO COMPARE HIM TO ANYONE ELSE, HE IS ON HIS OWN FUCKING LEVEL

[NAUGHTON96]

@cookiemonsteryummy2 No one said he sounded like Hetfield u retard

[NAUGHTON96]

Who said Matt Heafy's vocals are Gay and faggy? the only gay here is the fag who sed dat stupid comment, Heafy is like the new James Hetfield...... great clean vocals & awesome screams (ino james doesn't scream)

[drstiff14]

@NAUGHTON96

what about dave mustaine?

he has great vocals to!

[NAUGHTON96]

@drstiff14 Dave Mustaine is an awesome guitarist but his vocals are pretty shit but at the same time his vocals are kinda good coz they actually fit with the guitars and drums in Megadeth, some songs his vocals are good but most there not the best

[poplepo3]

@NAUGHTON96 ehh hes a good thrash metal vocalist and thats where it stands matt is very open with his range and he destroys mustaine on guitar and vocals but dave is far better recently especially live he actually is able to sing

[NAUGHTON96]

@poplepo3 Heafy is a great guitarist but Mustaine is better but vocal wise Heafy fucks Mustaine verywhere

[drstiff14]

@NAUGHTON96

well yeah,but better than andy sixx

[lambdineonpriest]

Goddamn those James Hetfield vocals

[DELTAFORCEADC]

There is no better song it the world to bounce to. When they play this live its like when rush plays YYZ. The whole crowd just jumps in unison.

[UNKNOWN51360]

(^__^)hi everyone!

[NAUGHTON96]

The Best Live Band!

[Imahorde]

@NAUGHTON96 I agree they're fucking amazing live!

[pwnmasteh]

Up until 245 this song is amazing, then it gets kinda meh...

[sirmato699]

@pwnmasteh The song is amazing all the way thru dumbass :D

[pwnmasteh]

@sirmato699 Not a fan of the clean vocals.

[HeavyMetalHendrix]

@sirmato699 lmmfao!!!! WIN!

[KAI3Kuroseiga]

0:32. that guitar. wow.

[BadCharismaRoll]

Matt's Screams were brilliant, but the more he tried to include his singing voice, the more he started sounding like a James Hetfield knockoff, especially in their later albums.

[Arashikato]

This was the first metal album I ever bought when i was around 7. (Actually got my parents to buy it :).)

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@Arashikato Dont lie, you picked it cause of tghe cool pic

[Arashikato]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot Nah, it was in one of those things with random songs playing. You just put the headsets up to your ears. This was actually THE first metal song I ever heard. I was like, "Oh, \,,/_O_O_\,,/ Yes."

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@Arashikato Awesome! I got into them in the ascendancy days when my mum first met my stepdad and he showed me some roadrunner bands on a DVD he had

[Arashikato]

@FtaCapoeiraWoot I've moved on top different types of metal, Black Metal mostly. But it's nice to listen to my original band.

[Satan820]

This battle is on all

You made beautiful

Now hateful

You wretched life wrecker

Abuser

Now suffer

[DTB501]

great band this in my opinion may be the best song trivium has ever made

[JuanezSanchez]

BEST GUITAR SECTION EVER FROM 3:10 onwards........

[MijonFlominon]

Powerful. Excelent, clean solo.

Best Trivium performance.

[iaresheepy]

Omg listen to this with the 'lights off' switch next to the vid name. it gets 10x better.

[iaresheepy]

4:52 Fuck yeah!

[jp4202003]

this has the same tempo as a classic metallica song but its more harder NICE

[KILLERKILLER3712]

My favorite Trivium song no doubt, maybe Throes is better...

[mikeyhall4729]

@openbardude not really gay vocals.. when i read your comment i thought they were gona sound like judas priest or sumat

[poplepo3]

@openbardude not gay vocals first of all and second the band decided it fit the structure of the song so there was a reason because screaming through that melodic part would sound like trash honestly

[bremor1881]

@poplepo3 nice explanation. They wouldnt do it if there wasnt a reason.

[poplepo3]

@bremor1881 exactly its pointless to critisise parts of a song because honestly if they wanna do better they should make there own songs and prove it but i mean some songs really do suck and thats ok to say but to just pick parts is stupid

[KILLERKILLER3712]

@poplepo3 Tell him.

[openbardude]

well your kind of biased. you must be sleeping with the band to get that kind of inside information. you're gay, this song is gay, trivium is gay, and i am awesome

[deathmagnetic206]

@openbardude dude leave us alone this band are good, anyway pantera are better than all your gay ass bands, just thought id through that out there, and if you wanna listen to brutal vocals listen to lamb of god, masterdon or machine head, who could pretty much butt fuck "faceless" or idk some other unesserially bad band that have no meaning and might aswell not be a band

[Monsterassault100]

@openbardude are you doin this for attention? someone wants to hog the spotlight really bad everyone and its this chick :)

[ernofsteel007]

@openbardude your gay to spend so much fawking time returning to a vid to hate on it. i am a big indian biker & i dig this music just like all the metal heads i know, u should put down the pop tarts & get out of your mothers basement to go for a walk man, theres a whole world out there, this band is the metallica or iron maiden of its generation man, they will be rockn in 10-15yrs when the guys your talkn bout are looong forgotten

[TrIvIuM178]

@openbardude i would suggest you grow a pair of balls and fuck off

[openbardude]

@TrIvIuM178 Hahaha ok TrivIuM178. Since your name is so bad ass, i will try to grow a pair....for you. God you must be cool

[the1andonlyDarkAngel]

@openbardude i personally think that the diversity fits it perfect, that's just me though

[Triviumwillprevail]

@openbardude Why do jealous kids call bands gay simply because they aren't born with the talent they possess? Loser.

[ScuzzytheFuzz95]

@openbardude If you want gay vocals, go listen to mainstream pop, you tool.

[openbardude]

@ScuzzytheFuzz95 i dont want gay vocals... thats my problem. It sounds like a cross between creed and bright eyes vocals. trying to sound bad ass, but really sounds like hes whining about his middle school girlfriend. go listen to the faceless if you want to hear brutal vocals.

[ScuzzytheFuzz95]

@openbardude Have you ever heard Creed? You seriously think this sounds like Creed and some band Ive never heard of? Dude, if you dont like this song, get off its jock. Quit complaining about a band you dont like on one of their songs, because you look like a fool. These were some of Triviums greatest songs, but you obviously dont like them, so leave. Go listen to your "brutal" vocals, because this obviously isnt awesome enough for someone like yourself.

[HaHaIDied]

@openbardude faceless sucks ass and so does creed this band kicks ass sooo suck a dick and if u want o hear real brutal vocals cannibal corpse is the thing to listen to bitch

[theGuyYouHate01]

@ScuzzytheFuzz95

Tool has amazing vocals btw

[Khalis33]

@ScuzzytheFuzz95 no NO!! If he wants gay vocals, go listen to AA, BMTH, and Escape The Fate, and lol I know these bands I mentioned are musically uncomparable

[MegaNekke]

@openbardude I bet more people think that you are gay than that Matt's vocals on this song are.

Like seriously, it's a fucking awesome song, the entire song is really like meant to be played live when you can pit in it. Talk about brutality when you can do the same biatch

[thrashguitarmaster70]

@openbardude Troll detected! The thing is, trolling a metal video is a lot like walking into a pit with a Duran Duran shirt on, everyone's gonna hit you. I suggest you find a better pass time than trying to impress yourself by trolling some video on youtube. Here's a good suggestion, wait until your parents come home, ask them to take you to Toy's R Us and go by yourself a new Hanna Montana doll because you're undoubtedly a twelve year old little princess that listens to "Hardcore" music.

[heinzie5]

@thrashguitarmaster70 woah woah woah! lay off duran duran dude. those guys are sick. :-p

[thrashguitarmaster70]

@heinzie5 They're not bad, but I wouldn't wear their shirt in a pit.

[openbardude]

@heinzie5 I agree hahaha

[CaptCannibis]

\m/ TRIVIUM RULES \m/

[PpUuCcEe]

Hello metalheads, emo's, goths, scene, punks.

Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.

1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together

2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea

Copy this text in every Metalvideo you watch and we´re getting the power

[redwing104]

4:47 reminds me so much of the bass in the intro to ride the lightning

[MrKancode]

@redwing104 Its triviums job to sound kinda like a more modern version of metallica in the early 80s.

[seriex5]

@MrKancode Agreed!!

[Dragon444345]

From Lead Singer Matt.

‎"It's a sad and sickening thought that some people live in fear of their own families. Whether spousal abuse, child abuse, neglect or sexual abuse- it's all tragic on a life threatening scale. Monsters will create monsters through their own actions. This song reflects the outright anger that I have for these people who think they can harm another in their own family."

[poplepo3]

@Dragon444345 its all so true and the meaning behind bout half the songs on ascendency and most all of them on the cruesade

[Shaydy6969]

@Dragon444345

1st off I'd like to say your like a fuckin god to me dude. You kick ass.

2nd I can really relate to this song because I've seen and encountered some messed up shit in my family. And it really means a lot that such an awesome band would write a song that I can relate to so directly.

[KarmaCharger148]

@Dragon444345 i respect this.

[117tvirus]

THUMBS UP FOR ABUSING THE REPLAY BUTTON XD

[xeniel017]

Long version is better :3

[SLIPKNOT8018]

matt and corey... two of the best fuckin guitarists ive ever heard.. especially corey.. hes fuckin great.

[poplepo3]

@SLIPKNOT8018 there amazing and both in guitar for different reasons coreys he no nonsense shredder who just rapes the fretboard matts a bit more conservative in his shred using a bit more melody in his structure but is still slower but combines it equals epic

[screamingismyair]

@SLIPKNOT8018 they are not the best but they are really good... if you want to know one of best, listen to dimebag darrell

[poplepo3]

@screamingismyair dimebag was a talented and excellent player but i feel hes overrated its not even his fault but after his death peope gave him a bit to much credit for what he accomplished which is normall for players who have died he was very skilled and had some nice shred abilitys but he was lacking a bit in a writing standpoint panterras solos are sorta random and dont have a ton of veriety i give him props as an awesome player but not one of the best

[screamingismyair]

@poplepo3 tru but i liked dimebag and thot he was the best guitarist b4 i knew he died which was like 4 days later i found out he died

[poplepo3]

@screamingismyair well then i can see you hes not in my eyes but i respect that everyone has a different opinion and honestly theres no definateive best guitarist think and everyone would realize every player lacks something rather it be a imperfection in a technique or a bit of a lack of writing ability everyopne lacks something

[screamingismyair]

@poplepo3 tru man

[khaos654]

@screamingismyair dude same here it was like a slap of reality like damn did I hear what I think I just heard

[TheStarletboi]

@poplepo3 not at all is he overrated, he'd still have the same status even a better one as time progressed with his techniques and scaling speed. he could do more than shred, he created some of the best sounds, as well as shredding and other ways around the fret! he's been one of the best guitarist since the 80's when they first got together but didn't release their first couple of albums, he was owning the metal scene for well over 20 years!. respect for trivium but dime is better in my opinion

[redwing104]

@poplepo3 i know what you mean by saying his solos seem random, but is think thats his style tbh, he was going for that, and he was brilliant at writing riffs

[poplepo3]

@redwing104 well man im just saying i respect him he was an excellent player im not disagreeing on that note im simply saying that i think he became overrated after his death sorta in the same way nirvana become way more liked after kurt died when people die people boost them alot because they feel bad for them a guess hes a good player though i dont feel the best there are severrall people who are better

[elliminatecruelty]

Genius guitar. Wish Matt still screamed like he used to. 

[poplepo3]

@elliminatecruelty he screams live again and does it better than even back then and now hes clean vocs are better live

[rkosym]

@elliminatecruelty corey sing man....lol its studio btw probably at least 10 takes and more

[FtaCapoeiraWoot]

@elliminatecruelty He does

[surferboy14lp]

@elliminatecruelty lets just wait for the new album and see what we get ;)

[wwetomtom]

god version

[rotta87]

awsome
