@@lostempire6835 I feel ya lol. This album takes me back to when I would get out of school, come home and go for a walk in the woods while being I'm my feels. The emo phase was quite a time
@@juampinarbondo Crabcore is a style of music referring to metalcore bands in the late 2000's with a specific sound, like this song. It's a reference to how they stand like crabs when they play guitar in Attack Attack's music video "Stick Sticky".
oh man, the song that started it all for me. I had no idea this kind of music existed when I was in middle school, then my friend recommended this and my life was never the same.
Im still listening to them and have been since this album, every once in awhile you need just normal rock and i think most bands become wha they are currently because of the toll this style of singing takes on your voice
The video is not awesome. That's why no one reacts to it, because the video is too explicit and too disturbing. The song is great though. One of their best songs, imho.
This was the first song I ever heard from them and I was instantly hooked. I saw them live about 4 times and every single time they played this, it was incredible. I'd do anything to go back and experience those shows again. You should react to a few songs from their second album! Closure, breathless and to the stage are all bangers and have videos to go with them.
I love the metalcore music from AA, I also love the new stuff too. Been listening to them for years. I stopped listening to metal for about 4 years but AA is the only band I never stopped listening to. First favorite and still favorite
My man, big fan of the channel, but it's been long enough. You need these on your channel. Infant Annihilator - Unholy Gravebirth or Blasphemian Spite - Kill or Be Killed Hunt the Dinosaur - Destructo Methwitch - Burn Victim Black Tongue - Parting Soliloquy Orbit Culture - North Star of Nija Amon Amarth - As Loke Falls Tallah - Overconfidence
You should react to Danny Worsnop's "The Price of Beauty" by Suicide Silence. It was during Mitch Lucker's memorial concert and it's incredibly underrated. I know you checked out the one Phil Bozeman did, but this one is just as good and can be considered one of the best vocal performances of that show. Edit: Danny is Asking Alexandria's lead, if you didn't know already.
I still listen to them to this day but you're right the older stuff is a hell of a lot better and the reason I listen to the new stuff is because I'm a dedicated fan from the original stuff! Lol And ill always love them no matter what they do because they helped form me to who i am today! But if you like this kind of sound youve got to check out.. Make Me Famous. Capture The Crown. Skarlett. And Of Mice & Men!
Three years belated, but very awesome and honest reaction. Bravo! Now.. as for the jumping back ten years to hear what you grew to love; I completely agree! That goes for most metalcore bands that started in that notorious early-mid 2000’s… The only theory that I have behind this is that they spend so much time touring, recording, etc the same earth shattering breakdowns, that at some point their vocals begin to deteriorate and they don’t have an option but to stop screaming in that pitch. Which ends up putting them into a whole different tiered genre. Like I said this is the only assumption I have! Again, very nice video!
Ah, memories. Saw them in NJ Starland Ballroom and this song was intense and I almost died twice loll. The techno part was so peaceful though and we were all boppin to it- then it was mayhem again.🤣💀
Bro. You are right. WE ALL MISS THE OLD SCENE/METAL AND HOW THE IT USED TO BE. WE ALL CANT LISTEN TO THE SHIT THESE BANDS PUT OUT NOWADAYS, ITS TERRIBLE. Your observation is spot on and what all us scene kids now in our 20’s and 30’s are experiencing. It’s unfortunately just what had to happen. If these bands which made it to the tops of their genres didn’t conform to the norm overtime, they’ll eventually sink. So almost all the of them progressively become more pop. It really is a shame, rock was alive and well and now it is dying. I wish you could’ve been there with me at their show like 10 years when this first album released, I was just mesmerized it completely changed my whole outlook on music and I know it would’ve done the some for you. Since that day, “my heart beats in breakdowns”.
Im right there with you alot of the bands back then i do not listened to as much anymore because they have changed into something i can't bang my head to anymore.
Hands down my 100% favorite song off their first album. I started listening to AA a little after their first single The Final Episode came out and I've been a HUGE fan since then. Their newer stuff is kinda eh to me. The last album that I really truly just loved was Reckless and Relentless..the album after that I loved maybe 6 songs but then the next few albums I loved maybe 3 songs. Definitely disappointing loving a band so much but watching them get softer and softer. Some people shit on me cause they say "bands evolve" which I get but their new stuff is not my cup of tea. I mean my daughter's middle name is Alexandria. That's how much I loved this band
A note on metalcore changing - you are not alone in your boat. Fans tend to lean harder as they get older, while artists tend to soften as they age. Fans get more acclimated to the harsher sound and appreciate what they are hearing more, while artists either don't want to be put in a box or physically cannot keep up the sound. (Danny from AA specifically did get a vocal injury while touring on their second album and it's been softer and softer ever since, but it seems like it was a mix of both reasons). Btw, Of Mice & Men may be an outlier with their new album.
There's a behind the scenes video on how they made this video if you're interested in watching it. It actually came with their CD way back when. It's pretty great.
The rain is staged in the video. And metalcore around this time is priceless. You'd definitely dig We came as Romans or The Plot in You. I believe bands who go heavy get exhausted playing live and/or a great way to have a larger fan base.
@@pawket__715 its not like I'm gonna argue but here's a new list of new metalcore releases. Call It home - Danse Macabre Darko US - Pretenders Breakdown of Sanity - Traces The Ghost Inside - Make or break
their first two albums stand up and scream, reckless and relentless were bangers. their 3rd, From death to destiny was pretty damn good too but i dont really listen to the newest stuff
Most people think the same way as you do. Not many people who listen to their old stuff can listen to their new stuff. Most of their old fans do not listen beyond their first three albums.
Please react more to their old songs. The Final Episode Run Free Killing You Moving On The Black (with a different vocalist). Also react to their short film "Through Sin + Self Destruction" that consists of three music videos (three songs) from their second album "Reckless and Relentless". It shows the lifestyle they led at that time. Here's the link to it: ua-cam.com/video/nlFMMvFhk_s/v-deo.html Every Asking Alexandria album reflects their lifestyle and what they were going through at that particular time period. Their personal thoughts and feelings are expressed in their songs. That is why if you listen to their albums in the chronological order (from first to last) you can really tell how their lifestyle has been changing and how they have been maturing over the years. Unfortunately that "maturing" means more and more boring songs with every album.
I’ve been listening to them since 2009. I’ll say it this way. They have been to my city something like 6 times in the last few years. Miss me with it. That’s how disappointing it is to move to what they have. In defense, Danny messed his voice up BAD and he left because he was a terrible alcoholic and drug user creating problems. The album Reckless and Relentless was written in the middle of that and it’s incredible. But the toll it took on them as a group? There was no recovering “that” group again after all that. I’d love to see you react to To The Stage. What an absolute incredible track that I feel doesn’t get enough comment. The whole thing is about that time period and about how addiction grabbed Danny during that time.
They partied extremely hard during the first 3 albums and in the process Danny tore his vocal cords. Then he left the band after the 3rd album. They've softened their sound more and more over the years along with being all or mostly sober. Playing as hard as they had been was exhausting and it weared them down and they found it harder and harder to stay popular. The newer stuff is them trying to stick around and getting on the radio is a good way to do that.
You should check out the album "The Black" from asking alexandria, their lead singer at the time Denis is the one you heard, having the more heaviness in this band, sadly he was only around for that one album but I think it's the best album Asking Alexandria has to date, absolutely phenomenal
I still listen to them I’m also growing up and musical progress happens I think you just learn to like different tastes in music or you don’t and your stuck in one genre which I could never be
Fun fact bro, the reason they changed their music genre is because Danny tore his vocal chords while touring non stop back then and another reason in which Ben said in a video was that "it would bring back negative memories of Drugs & Alcohol." Also a little conflict which Danny and Ben had.
Actually they were poring water on them😂 there is a video of the making off. Nice reaction bro! You should react to "I once possibly...' from themselves too😉👌🏼 or "nobody dont dance no more" 😏👌🏼
Asking Alexandria was my favorite band. I was in High-school when they first came out and they were my introduction to metal core. I can't listen tk anything after their "Run Free" album. Just isn't the same. There were like 2 or 3 good songs off that album they did with Dennis, and that's about it.
I like a couple of the songs from the New Asking Alexandria album, but I definitely return to the early stuff from them. You should try doing Killswitch Engage they progress pretty well. August Burns Red is also another metalcore band to dive into. They are very versatile and the latest album has so great hits.
I actually really enjoy all of Asking Alexandrias albums. I'm around the same age as the members of the band so I guess my taste kinda evolved along side them.

ahh the good old days
was early AA actually emo? i feel like they were really late to the game if thats the case. or you were late to the game ;p
No, they were Metalcore
@@dingdonglouie idk if im late but i was listening to the at my emo phase lol brought back memories thats all haha
@@lostempire6835 I feel ya lol. This album takes me back to when I would get out of school, come home and go for a walk in the woods while being I'm my feels. The emo phase was quite a time
SAMEEEEEE BRUH
Damn I almost forgot how good AA was on their fist album. Stand up and Scream was a masterpiece.
@S.M.BTechno and some hidden gems, I used to have a best friend is so under loved
most definitely
this one was a classic!
Hell yeah man. That first record was unmatched, stand up and scream is incredible
Stand Up And Scream is still one of the best classic Crabcore albums of all time.
What the f are u talking about? Crabcore?
Lol crabcore be epic tho
Jajajjaj ok I think so best posthardcore álbum ever made, but crabcote? Daaaafaaaaaa

"Breathless" is a good one
Best breakdown they ever had in a song.
That was my FAVORITE!
@@Kozuka308 Old asking alexandria is a breakdown 😂
Breathless is my favorite song by then.
@@Kozuka308 mosh pit worthy
"MORTE ET DABO" HEAVYYYY
YES
YES!! Mijo xd
Still have this song in my cars playlist. Never gets old listening to it.
You should do a lesson never learned by asking alexandria.. I feel like this track is underated af imo
That one, Dear insanity, Killng you. So many underrated songs
That song is insane
Might as well get this whole album reaction under way because this album is so good!
oh man, the song that started it all for me. I had no idea this kind of music existed when I was in middle school, then my friend recommended this and my life was never the same.
Same
Im still listening to them and have been since this album, every once in awhile you need just normal rock
and i think most bands become wha they are currently because of the toll this style of singing takes on your voice
Check "Hey there mr Brooks" and "morte et dabo" by them
Hey there mr brooks is one of my faves for sure
@@caitlinbaker36 Agree.
“I NEVER BELIEVED IN YOUUUUU”
Asking Alexandria - Killing you
Awesome song, awesome video, but no one ever reacts to it
The video is not awesome. That's why no one reacts to it, because the video is too explicit and too disturbing. The song is great though. One of their best songs, imho.
Yo, its a banger
You gonna love reckless and relentless, to the stage or closure or even The Match
One of my favorite rock songs ever! Love your reactions hoopsick, came from Mgk
Nah your not wrong most metal core fans I know(and me) want this heavy of a soundtrack not the newer stuff with a few exceptions
This was the first song I ever heard from them and I was instantly hooked. I saw them live about 4 times and every single time they played this, it was incredible. I'd do anything to go back and experience those shows again. You should react to a few songs from their second album!

All Shall Perish: Divine Illusion, or Awaken The Dreamers. Eddie Hermida has an insane vocal range!
Miss this band. Eddie was soooo much better with them
Attila: break my addiction
Cane hill: ox blood
Whitechapel: breeding violence
I love the metalcore music from AA, I also love the new stuff too. Been listening to them for years. I stopped listening to metal for about 4 years but AA is the only band I never stopped listening to. First favorite and still favorite
My man, big fan of the channel, but it's been long enough. You need these on your channel.
Infant Annihilator - Unholy Gravebirth or Blasphemian
Spite - Kill or Be Killed
Hunt the Dinosaur - Destructo
Methwitch - Burn Victim
Black Tongue - Parting Soliloquy
Orbit Culture - North Star of Nija
Amon Amarth - As Loke Falls
Tallah - Overconfidence
The Crimson Armada and Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza should have been around longer.
@@friendlyfire782 I'm no the biggest fan of thosr but he should check those out
Metalcore bands became softier,true that but Killswitch Engage and As i Lay Dying wants talk with you
August burns red new album also was heavy asf
@@abdullahalsultan4652 can relate
ABR is a 🔥
I was thinking the exact same thing.
crystal lake begs to differ
I came here to mention ABR but I was beaten to it haha
The last words u say are so true! I don’t listen to their new stuff but the old stuff is were my heart is.. I’m stuck in time I guess..
ON YOUR
OWWWWWWWWNN
Always gets me
You should check out when asking Alexandria has a different singer. The black is a badass song
Or Let IT Sleep
Whenowsky also a banger

You know it’s a good song when the video is being filmed while it’s raining
Ah the good ole days. They were a very important part of why I like heavy music today
I've been looking for this reaction almost anyone reacts to this masterpiece 🤟🏻❤️
Kill The Lights: Shed My Skin
They are a new band with members from big bands: Bullet For My Valentine, Still Remains, Threat Signal, etc.
Three years belated, but very awesome and honest reaction. Bravo!

Great band still listen to them every now and then.
Ah, memories. Saw them in NJ Starland Ballroom and this song was intense and I almost died twice loll. The techno part was so peaceful though and we were all boppin to it- then it was mayhem again.🤣💀
My first vocal cover was this song 👌🏻
I will forever listen to asking alexandria, regardless of how much they change they will forever be my favorite band. ❤️
check out The price of beauty of suicide silence ft Danny Worsnop, his highs are incredible

Whitechapel-When a demon defiles a witch
React to "the black" or "let it sleep" by asking alexandria. Different singer for that album but it's my favorite album by them
No god
You should listen to the whole album. And Reckless and Relentless too. You will love them.
Im right there with you alot of the bands back then i do not listened to as much anymore because they have changed into something i can't bang my head to anymore.
Danny used to be soooooo fuckin SPECIAL!!!!
I should have known the waves were getting higher... But there was no reason for me to give up!

Check out the album 'Til Death by Capture the Crown. They're the australian version of AA.
Stand Up And Scream is always going to be a 10/10 album. Beat in the entire AA catalog
Still jamming this at the gym🤟
Good times. Old times... ♥️
their first two albums stand up and scream, reckless and relentless were bangers. their 3rd, From death to destiny was pretty damn good too but i dont really listen to the newest stuff
Great review.
Another one to get into is Sonata Arctica(a Finnish band like Nightwish), anything by them.
Most people think the same way as you do. Not many people who listen to their old stuff can listen to their new stuff. Most of their old fans do not listen beyond their first three albums.
Hell i can't listen past Stand Up and Scream lol
React to "Death of me" version clean and version scream to Asking Alexandria!!!
Please react more to their old songs.
The Final Episode
Run Free
Killing You
Moving On
The Black (with a different vocalist).

Dude, that Walking Dead guitar is sick. Also, the majority of this album is really good.
brings me back to middle school days
There is a video on youtube about how they filmed this video. They were pouring cold water on them. It was very tough to film.
I still listen to them I’m also growing up and musical progress happens I think you just learn to like different tastes in music or you don’t and your stuck in one genre which I could never be
you should hear Killing You! my favourite AA song.
my favorite song by them I swear
A lesson never leanerd- asking alexandria
Should do breakdown of sanity-deep sleep. Completely underrated band. Would be some Swiss metal lol.
I still listen to all these bands from 10+ years ago as if it was yesterday. Maybe we just mentally never really grow old, I dunno.
BREATHLESS is my favorite by them!!
Fun fact bro, the reason they changed their music genre is because Danny tore his vocal chords while touring non stop back then and another reason in which Ben said in a video was that "it would bring back negative memories of Drugs & Alcohol." Also a little conflict which Danny and Ben had.
Actually they were poring water on them😂 there is a video of the making off. Nice reaction bro! You should react to "I once possibly...' from themselves too😉👌🏼 or "nobody dont dance no more" 😏👌🏼
The Final Episode-Asking Alexandria
Their first single ever! Dope song. Check it out bro!
As far as the rain thing goes, they used a rain machine for this
Wow I feel old. I listened to this and a lot of miss may i back in the day
I'm with you, I don't like their newer stuff but anything out of the older part of their catalogue is amazing.
A miss the old asking music
Danny refuses to scream nowadays

Saw them live last night at the ADTR concert. They put on a great show and its still "rock", but its definitely not like before.

Let it sleep by asking Alexandria 💀💀
