Arsis - The Face Of My Innocence - Live in CT 11/06/06

[SiNishad]

holy shit is that james malone?

[Heemsah1]

Yeah, he's the singer/guitarist.

[SiNishad]

@Heemsah1 haha i know i just havent seen this video in ages and i had no idea how much weight he lost

[MroAeon]

Redic. . . Can't believe they are playing in such a small place!

[brandonson420]

@MroAeon i know eh, weak guitar too

[metallica5252]

anyone know the type of RG they use? looks like EMGs in there that's really rare, for stock Ibanez's anyway

[caliguy90001]

@metallica5252 they're both using RG550s. Definitely not stock pickups though.

[nounever]

Look at Ryan so fucking young hahahahahahaah!

[murderaddiction]

lol at the hipsters in the background. But awesome performance. No bullshit.

[warheart454]

technical as fuck! hey guys do you ever wana book a show with us? Bearer Of Desolation!

[AhnoldRunningMan]

you see why didn't Arsis be the song for black ops not fucking avenge sevenfold

[SuperBreadhead]

Awesome man, very impressive!

[cocomayor]

I love his gay guitar  jaja

[Nuth1nbut]

it doesnt matter cuz they arent gunna get shit now since they released a vid with an awesome live performance....becuz they totally deserve more than the average fan favorite video lol!

[WolleKassel]

Was für ein Kulturdenkmal! Und kaum einer rafft es ab....

[robvk6]

Badass rg550's ***** I have the laser blue one and i love it !!!

[caliguy90001]

@robvk6 I've got a laser blue too. What kinda pickups do you have in it?

[robvk6]

@caliguy90001 I put a emg 81 in the bridge and a 85 at the neck, my buddy put the new Mick thompson ,empty signiture pick up in his rg and it sounds amazing so i just orderd one for the bridge ,it just sounds more balanced and louder...

[caliguy90001]

@robvk6 Right on man. I used to have a Jackson Warrior with the same pickup setup. It definitely had some power behind it. Does Mick Thompson use those Seymour Duncan Blackouts. If so, I've heard they're pretty good. I'm looking to get some Dimarzios for my 550. tone zone for the bridge, and maybe a d-activator.

[robvk6]

@caliguy90001 my rg 770dx has a tone zone in the bridge ,tight sound ... yea Mick Thompson has his own signature pickup called Empty from Seymour Duncan ...

[caliguy90001]

@robvk6 Nice. I want a rg770dx. laser blue as well? red? purple?

[robvk6]

@caliguy90001 I have the ruby red ...very very thin necks ... awesome!!!

[ilovepoobs]

nerdy metal snobs playing air drums like they know the song lmao

[232323C]

great drummer!

[232323C]

good shit~!

[Derangedxzombie]

maloney? i'm not sure of the singers name but he's very talented! to be able to sing and play guitar like that. Ryan should've done the solo's as he can do them easily.

[skipalux]

@Derangedxzombie james malone and he is one of the most down to earth general bad asses i have ever met

[delthafunk]

ahahahah fuck connecticut 

[antag0nist11]

Malone is virtuoso but keeps the fucking viscera in his metal.

[zangief87]

too bad malone got so disgustingly skinny

[133m0]

I know this album word-for-word! Favorite song by my favorite band on my favorite album!

[christianmetal17]

Arsis are a technically proficient band! They are sick and educated in music. James Malone is a gifted guitar player! But my question is.............WHY DID THE CROWD NOT HEADBANG TO THE RIFF AT 2:58?!

[christianmetal17]

Arsis are a technically proficient band! They are sick and educated in music. James Malone is a gifted guitar player!

[SpencerrWinterr]

Ibanez play like butter

[caliguy90001]

digging the purple 550

[sugarcane2013]

In no way shape or form am I joking when I say this....for a week straight I listened to this song.... like.... I have it memorized in my internal mp3 player I love all of their songs tho! lmao

[emmforever]

its so awsome that they are on a little place qhere people can get to know them but they diserve on the iggest stages in metal y'know?

[Viperplayer187]

@emmforever Yeah dude. Who else, other than metalheads (and other underground genres) can say they've seen their favorite bands on a 2 foot high stage, or in this case, no stage. Stadium shows are cool for the fire and explosions and shit, but theres nothing like screaming face to face with some crazy ass death metal band, hahaha. Fuck, half the time the bands are in the fucking crowd themselves. God I love this music.

[gsp1175]

@Viperplayer187 Amen to this. My first show was Decrepit Birth and the vocalist almost stage dived onto me, and we moshed afterwards

[NightmareBThyName]

I fucking want James' ibanez.

[Cepical]

Hail James Malone

[RobboElRobbo]

Holy shit his hands are going everywhere

[SFabianB]

beautifull warlock.

the crowd was rather quiet. Gonna see ARSIS LIVE TODAY !!!

[mehtabb1]

This gives me old school RG G.A.S.

[Caljira]

hahaha 1:59 guy i the background air drumming perfectly

[huludicidal]

@Caljira Yeah, and it's super gay.

[bighrabovsky]

The frontman gives intermediate to advanced guitar lessons on Jamplay.com. He is a real great teacher!

[MetalOmgz]

possibley greatest metal band ever

:]

[TYLERBECKER94]

Were was this? It looks like a small room

[gabedreer626]

I really like this video thanks for sharing

[Dreadedshado]

He's lost a lot of weight since this concert.

Excellent band.

[tasfa10]

where can i get a CORRECT tab for this solo?!?!

[thisismyname45]

i don't honestly dig the particular style these guys play, i prefer heavier stuff, but god damn they can play! the front man seems super comfortable where he's at & both guitarists look like they practice 8 hours a day.

great band, they deserve respect from any metal fan.

[XImIAltCoreImIX]

i always get amazed when i see how can a guy just play so fuckin technical riffs and sing at the same time its so ridiculosly wonderful omg cmon 1:43 he is just tapping and singing like it were the easiest thing in the world! i dont kno if im exaggerating but its hot...

[GJRM18]

Does anyone know what knd of Ibanez james and ryan are you using

[CMetalTube]

@GJRM18 I'm not 100% sure, but I think James is using a Ibanez RG550, with the pickups changed to EMGs. Not really sure about Ryan though...

[elmetalico99]

@CMetalTube are both of t guitarist t originals ones from all theirs cds??or has it been a change i wanna know about'em guitarists they both kick ass but t singer don't look that much at t one in t arsis video FORCE TO ROCK or has he lose weight??

[CMetalTube]

@elmetalico99 The guy singing is the founding and original member, drummer Mike Van Dyne is also a founding member, he's back in the band after a break now. The guitarist here is Ryan Knight, he was playing only on We Are The Nightmare, now playing in Black Dahlia Murder. James lost a lot of weight, he's an anorectic. He recorded the first 2 albums alone with drummer Mike, Ryan then joined on one album, then he found Nick Cordle. Not sure who the bassist here is though.. Hope it helps!

[AngryCavemen23]

i saw them at calimetal fest fucking amazing live. the new guitarist looks like he should model

[CMetalTube]

James is a BEAST!

[elchristo7205]

god i just love musicians that dont fit in the stereotipical mold of there music if you saw him walking down the street you would think he maybe played shity thrash or somthing. fuck yes james i havent given up on you yet you play fast catchy and most of all CLEAN LIVE!!!!!! why did you drop out of metalfest and leave me with all the fagcore

[DOWN545454]

man i still wish ryan knight played in arsis.

[Robundead]

I want that Ibanez so bad...

[Derangedxzombie]

The crowd sucks bum bum ): looks like a school or something, but why do the most amazing people/songs get played to the crappest crowds xD? A great example is the dagger - roadrunner united in new york

[chrissylvzkorn]

i fucking love this song =D

[DanielBForehand]

The dude in the back air drumming at 2:00......

[BTBAM27]

I'm not into there new album. They just sound a little different from the older albums. They're an amazing band though. James Malone is probably one of my favorites and knight too.

[afrolightning9]

GUYS ARE FUCKING AWESOME LIVE

[seattlehawkins]

Congats to all the Fag homo metal posers

who ruined metal!

[AtomicFiend]

@seattlehawkins Thanks

[ALEXxTHExIMPALER]

arsis is fucking amazing

i dont fuckin care what anyone says

ARSIS IS FUCKING BRILIANT METAL

[ausaman15]

yo seattle hawkins, go fuck yourself. i beleive that part of being a musician is knowing the business, but arsis makes some of the most briliant/talented music ive ever heard, and maybe their not popular sellouts like bring me the horizon or ect, but the music is what counts and arsis makes sum good fucking music.

[seattlehawkins]

Whining Goth loving Emo Cock Smoker.  XD

[133m0]

@seattlehawkins what kind of music do you listen to dickhead

[PhoenixOrichimaru]

He's alot skinnier now lol saw them for first time on the Arch Enemy tour and I liked them alot :D

[Mr420isthebest]

where r they from? btw this song and band r badass!!!!

[LordSlaurith]

They're from Virginia.

[Mr420isthebest]

@LordSlaurith o ok kool thx

[IMINAKHOLE]

good show but from what it looks like the crowed is dead

[buriedinacradle]

They ae coming to arkansas by themselves ONLY $10

[Stevenarius]

@buriedinacradle i get to see them with arch enemy, mutiny within and exodus on saturday (not too familiar with exodus though)

[buriedinacradle]

@Stevenarius, Cool i don't like arch enemy, and exodus is ok..... if arch enemy kept Johan they would have been better

[Xenochrist12345666]

@buriedinacradle No way Angela's voice is way more brutaler haha and fits the music better.

[tamametal]

better? you want to say COMERCIAL!! xD!!

arch enemy is a fucking comercial band

[seattlehawkins]

Commercial Meaning good? Like gonna make money? Unlike these nobodys! One step from emo goth fag shit!

[Mattxmillen]

arsis is commerical metal lol your a fucking ra-tard

[seattlehawkins]

Butt-Hurt Queer!

[Mattxmillen]

damn dude well looks like you have horrible come backs. lol i'll go away just so i dont have someone calling me a bad insult come up with something better then butt hurt queer

[ssdaven]

lol calm yourself, this is just metal. im talking metal 2010 .. there's quite a bit of variance. do you understand this?

[133m0]

@seattlehawkins you fucktard there is nothing emo or goth about this band man. youre probably some redneck motherfucker who listens to boring ass country and fucks deer

[racer4200]

Holy Shit. He can play this with his eyes closed. Fucking bad ass.

[Pfot5364]

I'm going to see these guys in Mass in a week with Arch Enemy and Exodus!!

[Neonfestiva]

I'm going to see them in Quebec City next week and I can't wait!!

[MetalForLife19]

@Neonfestiva Me Too, Tomorrow Dude, Good Show

[diodrums]

esta rola esta chingonsisima

[Lugmillord]

MAAAAN! Look at his fingers!

Guitar god o.O

[TrueTak]

I like his guitar.

[ausaman15]

wtf is up with that crowd holy shit!! why arnt they moving?! this is like my favorite band and nobody i talk to has even heard of them. wtf. these guys have talent out the asss!!!

[Cotybruyere]

I know man I got that same problem lol

[jdcampos16]

one of the best of all time

[Jdcie]

Awesome band

[robvk6]

ryan doesnt have to worry about those little shows anymore...

[polikafros]

AWESOME SKILLS....!!!!

he sings and he plays all this fuckin riffs...

I broke my fingers to learn this song and he does is seem so fuckin easy....

His name James malone...

Hell yeah....

[mikeman117933]

that crowd is fucking pathetic same shit happened when I saw Hate Eternal they slayed but got a shit mix

[q28s1]

@mikeman117933 They were just stunned.

[DOWN545454]

its a damn shame that a band with this much talent dosnt even get a stage...still a great performance though.

[dend027]

Agreed, why Nuclear Blast or Metal Blade hasn't picked them up is far beyond me.

[0defaced]

@dend027 they're on nuclear blast.....

[Irhawtkeke]

worst crowd ever

[Lakaior]

suck ass crowd

[lobyte]

btw is he playing a red rg 350 ?

and the guy on the right a 350ex? just wondering cause iwant to try those at my guitar store

[tristan2]

i think they are playing the 550 ones not shure

[Liolar43]

I didn't know their vocalist played guitar too! :D

[lobyte]

Hes a fucking guitar god :p

[defaeced]

This is when arsis owned!! Ryan is now on TBDM and has done a an Awesome job as lead guitar,James I wanna listen to a his new shit but i dont know where he's at now a days

[nerdheadbanger]

They have a new album coming out in December I believe with the original drummer Mike Van Dyne returning...James and Mike are the true foundation of the band..you're gonna enjoy it and forget that Ryan isn't even there anymore.

[nyy4life313]

I think they moved it to like end of January/ begining of Febuary but all i know is i cant wait.

[desolateroom]

Awesome solo at the end; it's different from the album version.

[thesecitylightsburn]

most definitely agree. that sweep into the tapping section is absolutely beautiful and i wish it did appear on the album version. i'm glad someone else noticed this too.

[Kupferhans]

I tink the Sweep exists on the Album Version, but there is no fast tapping after it.

[dtma24]

yeah there is

[NiceDirtyDay]

My favorite song by Arsis. This band is fucking amazing.

[shadeofgrey07]

thanks for coming out tonight.....dont forget to tip your waiter

[mexicutiner88]

I love this video but i cant FUCKING stand the guy in the back air drumming

If I was mike and would have seen that shit I would have chucked my drum stick at his eye

[Whathuhwhowhere]

Man I cant stop watching this its fucking awsome

[buzzbomb80]

I take that "Super gnarkill" is a compliment? Anyway, emokids aren't worthy of an Ibanez face rape,whether it's magenta or not.

[chaosflakes]

that white ibanez looks like a piece of fucking dog shit... puts out hella good sound but that magenta one is super gnarkill status though.. i would rape the face of an emokid with that shit

[juliansososo]

How there u ppl bring up the black daliah murder in the presence of arsis SHAME

[orknip]

My favorite song in the world <3333

Effing awesome.

[itscoolbro2]

Woot, Virginia Beach is being represented by the best.

[cida333]

oh yeah definetly an RG, it looks like a regular sized Ibanez micro... weird...

[SethCole22]

jim was huge back in the days lol

[cida333]

lmao all of there guitars look like toys! That pink is bitchin lol!

[LedZep234]

That's one wide ass fretboard. It's like a 7-string's neck. Arsis fucking rule. It sucks that once they got out of venues like this and into larger ones with actual stages and stuff, James was too addicted to speed to stay on the tours. He's over it now, and I'm dying to see them next time around.

[BigoteFactory]

what kind of ibanez is that? looks like ibanez and a body like strat lol

[Marduk077]

it's an RG Series.

[huludicidal]

Addicted to speed? You're an idiot and ignorant to boot. He had an anorexia problem.

With Mike Van Dyne back in the band, expect the most ridiculous Arsis material in the near future.

[Cbeezy333]

@huludicidal ...ha, who sais to boot...

[huludicidal]

@Cbeezy333 To boot, meaning "in addition to".

[BigoteFactory]

singing, shredding sliding, tapping and definitely brutal.

cant ask for more.

[dtma24]

still makes me mad nobody in the crowd is killing one another.

[diabeticmonkey]

I would smoke crack for a month, kill a government official, and then get stabbed in prison for both of those guitars.

[Jeffo787]

from 2:55 u can start to notice some people in the background air drummin

[Ray06160]

haha

[GordonFr33man]

the lead singer looks a bit like the lead singer in the german thrash metal band Sodom

[demigod56]

this guys kick ass

[wagggggg]

this guys

[Erithos]

Who of em should jump around? James does the guitar AND the vocals and the other are busy playing fucking technical shit on their instruments too...no time for trifle jumping

[Ray06160]

this is just an observation... but if you can't entertain while you play the crowds most prob won't get much into it (no energy, visually speaking). tbdm vocalist at least jumps round a lil. =) no matter how good the music its crucial in my opinion

[huludicidal]

I think James is a damn good frontman. He bangs his head a lot and shreds vocals and lead. Can't ask for much more than that unless you want him to walk around the stage using a headset mic. That would be completely gay.

[Ray06160]

fair enough, it would probably comprimise the technicality's of what he is doing, i mean i dig arsis, my point was just who you would you rather see live... Slayer or arsis?

[kingkongster]

Dude, Arsis all the way

[Marduk077]

Arsis. THEN Slayer.

[CreatorOfChaosxx]

Ryan Knight must think back to this concert a lot. Prolly why he joined Black Dahlia Murder lol

[CynosisThrash]

What are you trying to imply? This is pretty impressive in my opinion. To each their own though! I enjoyed their performance.

[CreatorOfChaosxx]

o lol ye ai guess i didn't add enough detail. I love this band and i enjoyed their performance as well, but i meant that he must think back to this concert becuz the crowd is terrible, they just stand there and look boring as fuck no headbanging or enthusiasiam or anything just like fuckin zombies or somethin lol. I meant he prolly joined BDM becuz the crowd actually gets into it lol

[ProkreatedThrash]

I would think it's because he realized that he could do even less in a band and scene kids would buy it.

[surfexp]

The basist scares me!!!!

[garmarna]

that song has so much energy.... i think the crowd was on some kind of horse tranquilizers.... wtf

arsis FTMFW

[JewsInUranus]

theyre more likely lost since you cant hardcore dance to a song that doesnt contain breakdowns.

[dtma24]

at fuckin like 2:56 say when hes like start pitting already and nobody movies, that must sooo disappointing for the band its like whenever i listen to this i feel like killing people... why the fuck wouldnt people do that at a show?

[boehmacolypse]

no one actually realizes how much talent it takes to pull of halfc the shit these guys can do!!! fucking amazing concert.. everyone in the concert looks absolutly out of place they do not belong there..

[CONNOREXPLOSION]

amazing lead guitar player singer guy! its soo awesome he's like meatloaf and tim lambesis put together!! the crowd is gay!! this band rules and this is the first song i've heard from them

[greenica9]

dont forget micheal angelo batio

[bachyaraa]

ffs that crowd is fucking gay! arsis deserve better than this.

[facemelter1297]

WHAT A LAME CROWD MAN

[MrFreeman420]

yeah he admitted to anorexia

i really hope he gets better

[passiefist]

songs is fucking metal ^^

crowd are all wannabe, trying too drum along in the air xD

[DistortedBrain]

good song, crowd didnt do much

[DeadPandaTits]

ok liam, lets see you post a cover of this song, doing it better than mike vandyne

too bad that you fucking wont, because mike vandyne is a spot on drummer, and has achieved more in life than you ever will

arsis hasnt been the same since he left, and its a fucking shame

[DeadPandaTits]

he did not slow down at all, thats part of the fucking song

god damnit, go fucking kill yourself already

[LiamTheDrummer911]

listen to 1:28-1:44, and try to explain to me that he didnt slow down, dude he dropped like 20bpm. and im not a fan of internet arguements, but u sounds real tough man, and im not the one freaking out.
