[serenade841]

EPICSOME! EPICSOME! EPICSOME! EPICSOME!

[robshead87]

Even back in the day they sounded awesome! JB, Matt, and Brent are legends!

[Jdogdrums7]

0:50 who noticed how matt hit that crash? he puts SO much more bang into it now...btw, did anyone else notice the 666 comments? well i changed it from that

[alumpofcoal]

Drummer:"I am calm... and playing the drums. Shirtless"

[lockness48]

[ChromeFang]

[xDecemberFlower]

I laugh so hard at 2:08.  Every goddamn time.

[Zackrox15]

2:12 dude with some balls

[CM2K2012]

the drummer pwns.

[blodepker1]

This song is tight and the break down if one of my favorite, the timing of it is Steel War Hammer.

[truthbetold7771]

thank god for the new bassist and vocalist..

[Miltonnnwazzam]

@truthbetold7771 true that

[ABRAsylum]

Jake is so much better.

[JayseWeaver]

@ABRAsylum Jake is better. But this was when they were younger so of course the old screamer was worse, just makes sense.

[d4ngerdoom]

i didnt know chuck norris was at the concert

[muhtalikah]

2:09 The Mosh Ninja!!!

[lethaldosagevideos]

THIS VIDEO WAS FILMED BY ME MANY YEARS AGO!! wow! amazing amount of views! MY GOD! thanks everyone for watching and thanks for the upload! sheeesh!

[ambir]

@lethaldosagevideos i put a link to your vids in the annotations

[MetronomicBeing]

matts hitting those cymbals so lightly lol. sooooo much different than now.

[sk8screamerguitar]

@MetronomicBeing thats cuz he was probably broke back then lol

[MrPatertot]

2005, wow, These guys changed REALLY fast. I like just much better than John, or that other guy. I believe this is the other guy. I also Like Dustin better than original bassist

[ChromeFang]

great headbangs

[Xx7Zeithious7xX]

The best fucking band ever! I just come here from time to time to see their past! I love these guys!!!!

[miligraham]

man id kill to see abr at a small venue where fans have circled around them i would have soooo much fun

[beiberhaterz]

bahahahahaha matt looks like a robot or something at 0:49 lol

[deathknowz1]

The guy hardcore dancing is an idiot.

[PipeD0d]

the early years woooooow

[0admiral0]

1:55

great breakdown

[statesolid]

crazy to think this was only 3 years ago. haha jb looks like an emo kid

[zac91earthlink]

this is before thrill seeker came out, badasss

[Tivecks]

typical wat you wuld expect guitars are pretty good....loved the vocals great job man...drummer did ok on fills but just like every other local band double bass sucked ass hard!!!!!!! sounded like he had epileptic feet

[statesolid]

@Tivecks i suggest you take another listen, the double bass is pretty darn good

[Tivecks]

@statesolid coming from probably a friend of these people or a guitarist? or possibly a drummer that knows no better? i never said he sucked...the double bass isnt very steady...i have taken lessons for 7 years from music majos and even professional metal drummers....im very fluent in Marching snare and set...i have a very keen ear...double bass is very difficult to obtain skill in...im not saying this kid should stop...but practice a whole lot more.

[chrisx19x3251]

@Tivecks have u seen matt now?

[TheRawJS]

@Tivecks I hope you realize this is 5 years old.

Matt is a beast.

[MikeyBoi6991]

@Tivecks yea, but this was also when they were like 17

he's so much tighter of a drummer now

[DeeJaySammy]

I frickin love that dude moshin by himself.(:

haha

[TurboMcnasty753]

Wtf guy at 2:09 this aint karate time...

[imthacookiemonster]

[3eyedalpaca]

[roib1]

Lmao 2:09 dude in the brown jacket prolly felt cool after dodging that 8)

[TSmity2]

Wow Josh sounds great !

[watchmenfan58]

haha they had ESP's before their Ibanez's

[609Ron]

It's funny to look at such a small show with that lonley mosh kid....to now fuckin sold out shows across the world!

[ThrashMan91]

lol @ 2:09

[cerfew601]

Shit, talk about moving up from a measly local band... haha. 

[Lugrashio]

@cerfew601 they used to be nothing now theyre one of my favorite metal bands

[tehschfifter]

@cerfew601 measly but sick nonetheless

[CourtneyDrums]

Matt is still jesus at drums.

[Zackyvforlife]

Damn look at matts old style lol hes barley hitting the cymbal but hes rocking the shit out of this song!! I LOVE ABR!!!!

[thejoe523]

i hope some of the small town bands i have go this far

[swimmingdrummerboy]

[BZbodyboarder73]

[swimmingdrummerboy]

@BZbodyboarder73 lol he looks so different! idk he just looks short in this vid...idk why. he has a mohawk and stuff in the music vid for your little suburbia is in ruins

[DaviddddEO]

@BZbodyboarder73 actually this is their second vocalist. There was one before him.

[BZbodyboarder73]

@DaviddddEO wow, i had no idea they had another one prior to this guy.

[DaviddddEO]

@BZbodyboarder73 yeahhh they have an ep called "looks fragile after all" and thats their original vocalist

[BZbodyboarder73]

@DaviddddEO yeah ive heard that EP, didnt really like his vocals tho.

[HabboMan45]

The drummer has incredible talent. Scratch that, they all are fucking hard motherfucking bad asses!

[jmitus0817]

its amazing to see how far these guys have come since this video...

[BadAzMOFO1]

[HxCdancingisforfags]

[ItsBrandonsWorld]

[samxma]

[3dgKateTwilight]

[joeymilleralcadeas]

[xJaKeXob]

that dude moshing was the coolest thing i have ever seen before lol

[TillmannBTVdrums]

wow. they've come so far.

and kick so much ass.

so amazing.

[PeaceLoveKelly18]

I dont know how people dont fucking move, at 1:58, i woulda gone fuckin insane

[xSic187x]

Gotta start somewhere right? Pretty awesome to see how theyve come from a crowd that really doesn't care to pretty much sold out shows.

[joelepage8]

the guy moshing looks like he's trying to fight of ninjas

[SpencaDrum]

LOL!!!! I saw them last night live with 1000s of people. That compared to this is incredible...im so glad they got popularity!!!!

[Davidof1990]

who is this vocalist ?

[guffnuh]

@Davidof1990 john hershey

[ZackBratton528]

@guffnuh Josh McManness is the vocalist here actually. Jon Hershey left before this point in their career.

[guffnuh]

@Davidof1990 john hershey

[sakabatou7]

Wow! Old! lol

[AaronKelly47]

young

[Ceades1facere1volo]

best band ever!!! i think they´ll be more popular than slipknot dope and this fuc*in popstar miley together

[mullen711]

sooooooooooo glad they have jake now

[bricker31]

ooooooooooooold school!! :D

[DjOrgazmic]

haha that one guy moshing

[Zofti]

I didn't believe when Matt Greiner said that he was a weak drummer on Thrill Seeker. Now I see that he meant 'not as good as now'.

He was really good already, really, really creative drumming, but he had weaker technique, which was hear able on first album. Now? Now he's my master.

[themonkeylarry5000]

i have been looking for this video since the last time i watched!!!!

[TheKush1331]

ABR is a big influence of mine. Please check my original metalcore song ^^ /watch?v=rySB42tAetw

[5dayslater]

Is that the same vocalist?

[jsheard87]

@5dayslater no

[Wtsmyageagain]

Fuck, they had no clue they would be where they are now....

[BDagys]

what guitar does JB use here?

[SkunkInABox]

@BDagys i cant tell what exact model it is but its definitly one of the LTD vyper series

[rodolphcore]

nice mans!

[bloodycmen]

Matt was still amazing back then...not as much feeling as today (or as much facial hair), but still awesome

[Skytezz]

2:07 LMFAO

[ianpaul12]

look at matt.. he's playing it easy.. ^_^

[wastedsisters]

hahahahhaha did anybod see josh's dance at 1:55 ??

[wastedsisters]

hahahahhaah did anybody see josh's dance at 1:55 ??

[fedfeing]

[soccerstarj17]

ok this is definatly faster speed then the one on thier album not much difernt but its faster

[xxpistoleroxx]

this video will be 5 years old on the 23rd and its still a great song :D

[paxitzis65]

this is old lol

[lockness48]

where was this at?

[soccerstarj17]

@lockness48 looks like a church hahah

[vfxdood]

@soccerstarj17 that would have been hilarious

[boojan58]

Im guessing this was taken before they even recorded Thrill Seeker? cause parts of the song are very different from the album version

[GoneSocietyLead]

this song is so fucking sick! Our band is covering this

[jayseeoh3]

My band does a hardcorish cover of "I like to move it" Please check it out and give feedback!!! i swear you'll love it!

watch?v=grUnoGcvv58

or type in "honest to goodness i like to move it"

it would be awesome if you guys would go watch it!

[urcoolcoolcool]

Because it was taken with a video camera

[F0xyNinja]

Awesome but no offense but cant understand singer at alll

[tomanucuentao]

can you sing like that ? i do undertand him

[F0xyNinja]

nope it's all good man

[BuryYourWeakness]

CHECK OUR NEW EP!

//BURY YOUR WEAKNESS

[xLONGHAULx]

No it's not Jake dumbass. That's Josh I think is name. This is before Jake. This is they're second singer. Jake came in on messengers. Same with Dustin the bassist.

[stiffler12goober]

is that even jake?

[StopListenLearn]

i love how far these guys have come. incredible band. god bless

[csmorgan]

couldnt agree more

[isaiah756]

hahahah look a big man spin 2:07

[HCemo89]

hahaha they don't look like themselves... :P awesome song... :D

[alexptong]

the craziest most complicated sounding breakdown i have ever heard

[hookd]

Lol hella long ago when the entire band had bowl cuts hahah

[sk84keenan]

that guy moshing by himself was great.

[GriznagPernicious]

@sk84keenan

[javier20893]

[Catastrophe420]

[killermind19]

[321Arizona]

[BxFinest74]

[LemonMerigueTie]

[AJDanielsmusic]

[LemonMerigueTie]

LOL

[Erik007able]

fuck thjat was awesome ive been listening to abr since the begenning and ever album and song they have put out is absolutley great but im a thrill seeker fan to the heart it makes me think of old times but shit this bands evolution is unstopable abr forever

[Rawbeh]

0:50 Matt takin' er easy.

[juliojrdn]

this may be around the beginning of their time but they're still fuckin sick

[tH3JmAn912]

holy shit are they still in high school here?

[FreakinJeremy]

im used to seeing the main singer with less hair lol but this is an incredible vid because of how old it is and the quality is not that bad!

[nuccaw00t]

old screamer was so much more boss

[RAGE8746]

Oo yeah brother! Josh is beast!!! Thrill seeker will always be my favorite.

[Ima0ctopus]

oh shit this is old

[MaggotHeaven]

How long ago was this?

[JonnyZywiciel]

it says at the beginning, march 23rd, 2005. They were writing for thrill seeker at this time.

[evanlovestdwp]

this vid is so great. prolly one of the oldest live vids your gonna find of em

[BM270musician]

man this is awesome! it's like having august burns red jamming in your basement! there was Speaker on a chair haha! THIS is the origin of hardcore music. these bashes are every bands' beginnings folks. gotta love those days.

[jamiegoodwin89]

Too bad they're not hardcore aye

[BM270musician]

then what are they? I think they're hardcore. they're metal. whatever. no need for subgenres

[RegdarKhrast]

Subgenres help identify the sound. Now what there is no need for is all the damnable what genre something is battles all over this site haha

[BM270musician]

yeah what I meant by no need for sub-genres is no need to fight over something so frivolous. I see it all the time on here and it's just plain ridiculous.

[RegdarKhrast]

Oh haha. Well, seems we were on the same page I just misunderstood you haha

[BM270musician]

yeah we are. I wasn't exactly clear though, so not your fault :D

[SGSpecial16]

@BM270musician They are Metalcore with christian lyrics.

[SGSpecial16]

@hypershadow250 Ok? Each of the band members take Christianity to a significant extent in their lives so their lyrics make relations to moral values and ethics presented in Christianity.

[BM270musician]

he said they should kill babies for not respecting their parents?! wtf! like a pile of dead babies is gonna solve anything!

[RTSband]

your stupid. if you knew anything about the bible you would know that old testament rules don't apply to christians since the new testament was made. hince why we don't give sacrifices anymore?

[RTSband]

Romans 7:4,6

[Norther219]

the lighting is retarded, they deserve lasers and flamethrowers n shit in pitch black

[lalosilence]

they were n00bs then , they didnt deserve alot of things then ,or thats what i think hahaha
