“I’m just as much the problem as the man behind bars. He did with his business what I do in my heart.” - August Burns Red
I’m no better person than Tim. He’s a struggling human soul like all of us. He’s trying. I’m trying. We’re all trying.
While I understand your sentiment... I just can't ever believe that me, as a person who has never tried to pay someone to murder the mother of my children, is not better than the person who did. Thats a hard sell.
@@rappleby91 It's more so that the repercussions of one's thoughts of hatred, malice and rejection can be just as damaging as the actions of one committing to said thoughts. Most people draw lines between thoughts and actions, believing that as long as they don't act on their thoughts, it's okay, but truth challenges us to erase those lines and strive to clean up our thoughts before ill-intent creates poisonous repercussions for those affected. In that sense, one who thinks ill is no better than one who acts ill.
@@rappleby91 Pious, self righteousness. I hope you never spend a single minute living the hell of an addict or someone with mental health issues. I live with these every day of my life and if the people around me thought they were better than me, like you do about others, I would be dead by now. Shame on you.
Robert Appleby I understand. Try to think of it this way. I’m supposedly a “good person” but I still have the possible potential of somehow becoming a murderer. An actual murderer has the possibility to become a better person. See where I’m getting at? We were all born in this world as these cute little babies, but life in this world can change us in so many ways. The amount of times I’ve heard “He was always so sweet. I didn’t think he’d ever do that.” It’s just one of the mindset I have to remain humble. Obviously in a legal sense and the fact that if harming others miser is bad, but I always try to not let choices define people. We all can make bad choices at the wrong times.
rcb3000 so true
you'll never hear or read a popular mainstream artist talk like this. That is why metal is such beautiful music. Dark music for dark times to show you the way to the light.
True words..👌🤘
Amen
Beautiful. Unethical. Dangerous
dude this has made me ball my eyes out for hours
i cant stop, he hurt me too. missed a kse tour in syracuse
Metal also allows you to release anger in a way that feels good. Always better to let it out in the moshpit than on family and friends
" I believe time can heal, but some of that time needs to be spent actively trying to fix what's damaged."
Wow very well said
this is so sad alexa play Within Destruction
Insidious One that song heavy af
Brutal song!
or the darkest nights
Keith Falconer clean vocals make it no where near as good.
94 hours, truth of my perception, or through struggle
LMAO I listened to that song last night too
This is the heaviest breakdown I've ever heard. Much love
Chris Gabrys doonndooonddudududoonnnnn
heaviest? you new to metal? lol
@@Velakor9150 you're an idiot lol
Lmao love it
@@Velakor9150lol woosh
Tim seems to be one of the few people that our "prison system" helped somehow. Good for him.
It's all about what you do when you're in there and to not harbor resentment in those cold walls. Easy to do. Happy he's different now.
@@evanpaluch6190 "Easy to do" Think so, Evan? Tell that to the ones incarcerated on false charges. That was a very foolish thing to say. We'll see if it's easy for you if/when your time comes.
@@CaliforniaCarpenter7 I said its easy to harbor resentment asshole. Which it is but not wise
@@evanpaluch6190 No you didn't, bozo. You wouldn't say a damn thing to my face, little girl. If English isn't your first language then you get a pass, Evan, but read over your initial response and tell me why anyone would take it to mean what you're claiming it meant now.
@@evanpaluch6190 no need to call the guy an asshole. You clearly said that it's "easy to do" and this guy is just pointing out that the fact that it's not easy to do, build up resentment. There's actually a documentary on Netflix called the 13th and it goes into detail about how the system and mass incarceration are manufactured to keep people down when they mess up. Even more so when you're a minority. Either way, lighten up man and enjoy life.
I absolutely love this. AILD has helped me through suicide, drug addiction, prison and depression. We all have a purpose. Thank you AILD
Same...last year i was going through extreme hard time...this band helped me
Awesome same here listen to them on the daily
🤟
Somewhere lost in my house, I have a ticket. Signed by Tim during a show near my city. I told him he helped me through some dark times, and when I looked into his eyes it seemed he felt nothing. No expression or acknowledgement of me or my words. So I took my autograph and after a great show, walked back to my car with discomfort. A bittersweet ending. One week later, he was sentenced to prison. And then it all made sense. We must all learn to forgive and give people second chances. "We are not the same, as I'd hope to show, there is a better way if we just let go. We are not, we are not the same."
one of my favorite songs....literaly lost in my head, just jammed that track and boom, here I am again looking for that help, even in comments, even just listening and getting that release....
Sentenced to prison or arrested? No way would he be allowed to perform at shows with an ankle bracelet
@@keenman0403 well sometimes when there’s hard evidence, sentencing period can be very fast.
"Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
Before we can rebuild them again, A greater foundation!"
Now more then ever ...
Love you guys
i always thought that album was strangely prophetic. and i'm sure tim had to hear the echoes of his own lyrics while sitting alone and contemplating his actions.
Now this time they actually live by those lyrics
You love Bill Cosby too?
Dein Penis ist einfach unglaublich
No Truer words spoken!!! \m/
the narration already sounds like lyrics to the next AILD album
Wandering Metalguy sounds like their old stuff too. Resillience, reconcilliation, redifined etc were mentioned
Rebuke and Rectify was mentioned too I think. Possible song title?
Phill Davis i just mentioned past songs lol and “reconcilliation” a lyric in anger and apathy. Im sure other past song lyrics were mentioned and i didnt catch them. All i know is that the new album is gonna be album of the year
😂
@@TheDreamCatchers an the "ocean between" we see in the video ;)
I didn't think I would ever change my negative opinion about Tim, but the fact that he's become an addiction/mental health counselor is amazing to me.
@@TallMatt why would you forgive him? He didn't do it to you.
@@TallMatt what's the point of rehabilitation if after a person still isn't forgiven? Dude is trying to fix what he did.
I concur. "Wanting" is very overbearing. To be accepted for our own stupidity, you lay ties of uncomfortable impressions towards others. Vulnerable and isolated. It's only way to happen is by like minded individuals. Nothing to be ashamed about. You can be as nice as possible to your neighbors... and still so distant, not by your choice either. Let us not ignore truth. Truth, hurts. It's what one is willing to do, to express hurt, To see how cruel this world is. Maybe one day we'll all wake up, be uncrippled, accept our personal biases as a wall of endearment and accept the uncomfortable barrier. With a solid reach towards a kindness within humanity. Self aware of what one's trait of causing uncertainty and uncomfortable feelings. Maybe. just maybe that turns to an afterthought and see, accept, and believe in each person, (as a unit. We are able to grow.) That's the day we will truely be awakened. Unless we understand we only control ourselves through prayer or God. Clicks turn to chains, and chains help hold bridges, once realized. We will see how better off we ARE.
Attempted murder shouldn't really be offset by doing something 'good'. Plenty of people are counselors and they don't even have to attempt murder before they find their calling.
ImmortalMachine forgive definition: stop feeling angry or resentful towards (someone) for an offence, flaw, or mistake. It’s a shame that 16 people agreed with that ridiculous comment. It’s a shame that I see so many so eager to forgive someone who’s effectively a murderer.
Everytime I hear Nick talk about this, I almost break down. He is such a beautiful and genuine soul.
Nick is the reason I still give a shit about this band. I'm glad Tim turned his life around but I don't think I'll ever feel the same about him again.
for about a year, ive been going through a lot of domestic hell and occasionally watch this to keep me level, make me think, break down even, a healthier release than outrage...I feel ya dude...hipa pulls that breakdown release right out of me like hes hugging me through the screen
Aaaaaaand hes gone. So sad
Might anyone post a link to Nick's sentiments on the matter? I listened to like 22k minutes of As i lay crying in 2020... Just keep falling in love with Shadows.
Edit: 22k not 33k
@Rener Abano because Jordan was mad that shows kept being canceled and COVID canceled shows.. so he wanted Tim out of the band so he can run it himself and when that wasn't working he lawyered up and stopped talking to the band causing Nick to leave and then their bassist left when he realized Jordan was trying to stop AILD and went to spiritvox
I am 39yrs old, and with an initial diagnosis of type 1 bipolar disorder, ADHD, and OCD in my late teens, early 20’s. In my supreme arrogance I truly believed that I was an adult now, and the heavy medication I’d been on in the past was what made me “weak.” What I never saw, or cared enough to see, was me outright destroying all ties to the few people that were crazy enough to stay behind. I was married at age 32, and my daughter was born soon after. As my little girl was diagnosed at age 2 with mid spectrum Autism, I was in denial and picked up a serious drinking problem, which interacted with my mood stabilizers and the antipsychotic I was on real well. On top of that my wife was going through postpartum depression, and that left literally everything on my shoulders. Still listening to bands like Aftershock, Shadows Fall (when Phil sang for them), Torn Asunder, As The Sun Sets, Killswitch Engage (the Jesse years)....etc allowed me to find solace in the words written by others.Then a friend suggested I pickup a CD “Beneath The Encasing of Ashes” and I was a fan ever since. AILD performing at their first Metal Fest was awesome to see live! Fast forward to Tim’s dark years and incarceration, I couldn’t help but be disgusted by “fans” of AILD who were SO judgmental of a man who was at the bottom of the barrel. I can try to understand how his band mates
felt, but only they knew how they were hurt. To anyone who wants to judge Tim for an action he would never repeat, and after all the positive things he’s done to atone for his past mistakes, I say only this: your day will come when you f@ck something up big time. I hope you don’t run into anyone as equally judgmental as yourself. And if years from now, when people continue to throw your mistakes in your face, remember that you’re being judged as harshly as you did to someone else
Amen to that brother
What a history this band has. I think their best work is yet to come.
This gave me goosebumps very well said
The new redefined song has such a presence that not a lot of their older music had. I’m excited for their future as well
Doubtful as most bands release their best album within 10 years of forming
@@tbenoit1540 True! Though, none of those bands have had their vocalist charged, do prison time, then come back and take accountability while restoring the relationships that were broken.
The music goes beyond the sound at this point. Instead, the band carries the message that all people can overcome their mistakes. Tim has become a role model and an advocate for mental health and that drives the music to another level.
Thanos, I think my own grave is one of their best songs they have ever created. Powerful message, amazing guitars, killer drums, great cleans. Everything required in a great aild song. Redefined is a good song too. If those two songs are any indication of what we are in for I think it will be great
In 2006, Tim signed a $1 bill for me. In 2010 I had "Only Through Struggle, Have I Found Rest" tattooed on my arms. In 2011 I saw AILD on the Decas tour.
This band and their music has influenced me in such positive ways.
I have never felt alone because of them.
The best apology is changed behaviour.
I truly believe that Tim has changed his ways and that he's using his experiences of his past in the best most productive possible way. I applaud that. Turning a huge negative into something to help others is to be applauded.
Sean McGarrity I mean he could have just not tried to have his wife murdered. I’m not gonna give this band a cent of my money. Let it die.
Sorry mark but the band is even bigger now then before, he’s not just talking the talk he’s walking the walk. He made a huge mistake and he should be forgiven if he earns it everyone has that chance!
I'm still a fan. I grew up listening to As I Lay Dying. Your music brings me back to a simpler time.
This is probably the most powerful, emotional and important video that a rock n' roll band has ever produced. It's so real, honest and articulate. The shots towards the end, of Tim interacting with his Boston Terrier, are especially moving. The juxtaposition of a huge strong man, Tim, playing with a relatively defenseless animal are especially fitting and moving when you think deeply about it. Godspeed and brotherly love to Tim, Nick, Jordan, Josh, Phil and all their wives, children, parents and family members.
Fuck this was beautiful.
So glad they decided to just be transparent and lay everything out. It takes courage. Made me cry.
Realizing the band is done and coming back to this and it truly fuckin sucks. Had so much hope when this originally was released.
I'm proud of you Tim. As someone whose life was ruined by physical and mental illness, I know what it's like to lose everything. I lost family, friends, money, opportunities, time, but worst of all, my mental and physical health, to the point where I nearly took my own life. However, the thought of all the music I'd miss out on kept me alive, especially the bands I hadn't seen live yet. As I get better, I know there will be alot of people thinking "what's he going to do once he's healed"? Seeing your transformation gives me hope that I can bounce back better than before. Cheers Tim, and I'll see you at my first AILD show!
Well said.
Tim was one of my heros when i was a child, what he did was horrible and makes me really sad, but as a christian, i always choose forgiveness over all things. Only God can judge him, and im really happy to see tim in a better mental and psychical state, God bless him and the boys in AILD.
As a nonreligious dude, I'm giving him a second chance, too.
I never lost respect for Tim. He did what he did and got through the consequences. I sure did miss AILD while he was away and I still love their music, they're the band that got me into Metalcore.
He can never retrace his steps, undo the gruesome things he has done, but he can start off on a new path, paint the way to a new life of joy, kindness and helpfulness. Great Tim and band 👏👏👏
*Metal saved my life... Thank you guys. God bless you all!*
Same here man, without AILD and Parkway Drive i would have been nowhere in the life
Metal IS life.
@Steve Materialistic people say this. Surely, you are one of those who do not give any sense to life... all lives matter.
@Steve *Okay, peace bro, God bless you! :)*
@@mateuscosta7811 it's not, in the least, materialistic to not believe in God. In many instances (such as mine) it's following the evidence. There is no reason other than indoctrination and fear to believe in God. There is no evidence.
"Hopelessness is a fear without end. Peace and restoration seem beyond reach. It can leave you feeling lost and isolated, even in the presence of other people." This video is brilliant. These men explain feelings I have been avoiding so long. If you need help. Please realize you're not alone. Reach out to someone. Be honest. Be courageous. Its not easy but you can do it.
I had rejection while I was a child by my mother and father went to prison. I had to grow up fast and never really had a child hood,all I had was music. The music was the voice of my life and still is today. Life is hard as f@$K ,but I rather stand then fall . I still have troubles from time to time,but I have my family to remind me what I have today and that's love. Keep the metal alive everybody, God bless.
That really moved me! He is a better human now and knows whats important in life! Thanks for sharing the story! As he says at the end: there is hope for everyone...
"All that we suffer through leads to determination.
The trials we all go through gives us the strength to carry on.

Que guitar solo XD
AILD and KSE are my favourite bands. Passion, faith, hope, reality - all wrapped up in the most amazing music.
Also interesting that KSE’s upcoming album is called ‘Atonement’
I think My Own Grave stands up as one AILD’s best songs, and can’t wait for the whole album :)
These guys need to tour together!!!!!!
@@PC-yp5dl they were on tour together the year Tim was arrested. I bought seats to that show to see my 2 favorite bands play together and he was arrested just a week before the show and I was heartbroken. I really hope they go on tour together again in the very near future!!!
@@xnay777 that would be awesome
Thank you Tim, Your creation healed my life overtime, You inspired me to get stronger in the toughest time i had in my life, Thank you As I Lay Dying ❤
This band is the reason why I'm got into heavy metal back when I was freshman in high school. They are a huge influence in the way I play guitar and drums. I'll always stand behind this band. I'm struggling with mental illness and depression rightnow and going through a recovery . And music helps.. these words help.. this bands music has been a huge support for me in the last 12 years for me and will continue to help.. love AILD!!
AILD has always been my favorite band since I was 13 helped me get through rough times/my depression. I remember the first time seeing them back in 2006(sounds of the underground tour) and meeting them, Tim was so nice and interactive, I even got a hug from him he just seemed so genuine and it shocked me what he did but he is living proof of what addiction can do and I'm so proud that he has gotten the help he needs in order to create a new path and I'm so amazed at this band for their forgiveness of Tim. That's incredible!! This is why I love this band!! Wishing these guys all the best and continued growth for Tim!! 💙💙
Welcome back, Tim! I've been praying for you and the rest of the band ever since everything happened. Glad to know you are using what you learned in prison to help others facing the same path you went down. If you can reach at least one person and help them see that there is hope in the midst of what they are going through, that's one victory right there. God bless and keep it up!
In His Service and Love,
George Rivera (ChosenNightwolf)
"how quickly i forget , that this is meaningless... " tim you got a second chance, not everyone does,make it worth, and bring us the most powerfull album that everyone has heard not just you the whole band damm, i believe in what youve said, and ive believe in forgiveness, i grew up listening to this band, and even when i knew what youve done, everyday i listen to at least 5 , or 6 songs of aild, we all have made mistakes, and we have to paid for them, but we all have the power to forgive, and we all have the right to ve forgived. mad respects to all the band members to be there when you needed the most, but most importantly let the past be in the past and learn that were all humans.
Everyone deserves forgiveness it is during our darkest and hard times that we can find forgiveness healing and compassion for one another I love this band
Tim didn't just make a substantial difference in just treatment centers. He and the band made a difference through their music, music videos, social media , your stories etc. These actions are so "selfless".
This video itself, from different perspectives of the band, truly Describes relationships,
emotions and the healing process, So eloquently!
For those in the fight, although it may seem, you are never alone! Movement is life. Keep moving and pushing forward no matter how dark it gets and never ever quit!
Your story or stories can and will be a tapestry for others who will struggle. Making a positive difference day by day. Realizing this struggle or struggles have made you even more beautiful in this world!!
You guys said it best yourselves “sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart before we can rebuild them again with a greater foundation” everyone deserves a second chance
i am so moved and PROUD of the recovery that AILD has made. i had faith in them the whole time, but what was a terrifying heartbreak and should have been an absolute catastrophe for a band, they have completely TURNED AROUND and transformed into a strength. we all make mistakes; it's how we learn and grow from those mistakes that matters most.
Can we all just agree that even good people have the capacity to have darkness in them that can change who they are if that person is fed negativity from the people around them. I don't know Tim but if he has been accepted back into the lives of his bandmates/friends after what happened then I think it's safe to say he's legitimately trying to make up for what he did while working towards positive change.
Just becase I am a fan of someone music doesn't mean I am going to excuse their terrible behavior. The dude hired someone to kill his wife. The fuck is wrong with you people sympathizing for him.
Boy did this made me cry. Nothing but love and even more support from me.
The 4-5 times I’ve watched this I breakdown because of how meaningful it hits!!! And people say metal is nothing but evil, they need to see this because of the good that comes from it!!!
Man I had the privilege to see A.I.L.D live April 3rd! Tim has changed so much and his positive energy at the show changed my views on life. Dont give up on Tim, and Tim dont give up on us.
Sanjeev Sinha
Thanks for this powerful and hard message guys , since , believe and never loose hope ,
this band helped me get through middle school and early years of high school. I will always thank my friend at the time zane for showing me As I Lay Dying!!
this band helped me get through my tough divorce cause the whole time I just thought "hey at least I never tried to murder my wife." much love, from Norway.
As a true fan, i always support AILD (and Tim) no matter what Tim did in the past, and i’m glad to see Tim getting better now. I always love AILD (and Tim). Dont let anything bring you down!!
These guys are all surprisingly articulate. The whole story of this band from beginning to today is so human and humbling.
And that’s why I was a fan of them from the moment I heard their first song.
Glad to have you back, Tim (and all of AILD)! Looking forward to seeing what you guys do from here!
Man this was heavy. AILD and Tim's story can be a beacon of hope to those living in darkness
Everytime I relapse, I come back and watch this to tell myself that I can do it. Ty AILD for your existence.
This band always seems to surprise us. Healing and redemption, everyone can relate. Way to move forward gents.
loved this and have so much love and respect for you Tim & AILD
Hey Tim, I always believed in and prayed for you. I knew you would get out, and knew deep down you were truly sorry for what had happened. Everyone makes mistakes man. We all have problems. You kicked hells ass and you're back for a second chance to prove to everyone you have good in you. Rock on man🤘 and stay strong 🤘
man I gotta say....I found this when I found out my pregnant wife was having an affair...its been almost a year now and every time I find my sanity and self slipping down into that deep dark abyss, I end up here......it helps....through the tears...through the anger...through the fear and hate.....im trying...we are all trying.....its not just the help I get from listening to this, but from also reading through everyones comments, making sure to comment and like where I can, to share and support.... it opens up just that many more flood gates of realization that I am not alone...that we are not alone....I truly hope everyone that comes here, like me, is truly doing better with everything that brings them down or works them up....I am here for you...we are here for you....
"nowhere to turn and then finally forced to face, what ive become
buried alive inside of my own grave, and there is no one else to blame"
I remember backin the day when I saw the news about the arrest of Tim and the indictments just didn't make any sense. At all. I tried to understand why he did those things and I realise that have more behind that bad face. He was struggling with a real problem, just as I was and I am now, but we still responsable for our actions and he carried those feelings with him in all his sentence days. With no lies in my words, I passed a lot of years with anger and hatred about him. After I had a sincere conversation with one of my friends, he explained that I would have to leave it in the past and forgive him for anything he has done, so I began to listen to their music again, and it helped me a lot through my mental disease. Now, I can thank him and the rest of the band for everything they did for me and for all his fans in the world.
Thank you, Tim, for being this strong person and a man who aknowledged his own weaknesses. Thank you for everything.
Inspirational to say the least. When the chips are beyond down, you guys kept fighting and will keep fighting for the greater good. Thank you.
This touches my heart very deep. Past trauma, mistakes, self destructive behavior, because of this video, I will watch it over and over and over and apply priceless advice from things like this we NEED to hear, I love this band so much more now.
This is a very powerful video. I'm glad you are back and I'm glad you are growing and bettering yourself as well as those around you.
i grew up watching these guys dvd almost every night as a kid. AILD forever
I truly believe in Tim, his realization for what him did and what do to for become a better person not only for him, but for most of US. I so happy you guys comeback again, as a FAMILY, your music means a lot to me and for people who share my deep feeling, it's more then just a music, it's way of LIFE. I wanna say HI for people who love you and fans of your band who understand my feelings, big THANK YOU and my best wishes for everything you will do in FUTURE, I know it will be aweseome, better and better in everyday, and your music will heal us all, bringing only a possitve moments in our lives. With big love and respect. Your loyal fan

Powerful message, thank you for sharing this insight and journey!
Amazing. Thank you for leading the charge in open & respectable communication based in love and understanding.
Thank you for sharing and for the honesty ❤
"As I Lay Dying" has a new meaning: could feel the same as those who are dying.
Welcome back, Tim.
Blessings!
The fact that you acknowledge everything and put in effort to make a change is truly remarkable. Keep it up ❤ glad you're moving on and even inspiring others
Amen Tim. So glad this story is being shared
Everyone has the power to change. The question is, do they WANT to change?
Thank you for everything you guys do, As I Lay Dying. Much love.
Without hearing "frail words collapse " I don't who I would be today, so thank you Tim for the words and messages in that album. And more importantly thank you for owning up for you did and changing your life around, you as well as the whole band have shown us the power of forgiveness and love. Great too see the gang back stronger than ever
This is why I love metal so much. Some people hate it because they only hear screaming but when you truly listen you can hear the meaning. And I love these guys because they incorporate their own lives in their music.
Amazing video. I am so happy that As I Lay Dying is back.
Love ya Tim! 94 hours in the 2000s made me learn drums. Your screams made me learn breakdowns. How to make it epic sounding through a beat. Love you Tim.
I'll never forget the lyrics "I won't let go" sounding like "I want a goat" from that killer song lol!
IM PROUD OF YOU FOR DOING THIS ...no matter what they say ..you faced your fear..i stand with you
Casey Granger lmfao
Definitely faced his fear.
*I'm too scared to murder my own wife*
*Eh I'll just pay someone else to do it*
*Oh fuck I got caught o.o*
*I have mental health problems and I struggle with addiction and also lumbago! Hlp plz I'm sry*
@@jessegardner33 What he did he carries the weight of. That will NEVER change.
There are so many people who deal with mental health problems that lash out and do things they regret for the rest of their lives.
There are so many that consider killing someone. If most cases it's themselves. A life is a life and is terrible if you try to take it, may it be your own or anothers.
You carry the weight, forever, you can do two things. Continue the dark path and fall again or try to raise up from it.
I want you to consider how you would feel if Tim had to go to rehab after trying to commit suicide. Because that is the same weight as what he actually did.
He and this Charity want to make sure that people who have been hurting for years don't take a life.
Either anothers or their own.
As i lay dying has always been literally one of my top favorite bands. It broke my heart when tim went to prison. You all have been a beacon of light in my darkest nights. Thank you.
It's easy to be defined by your mistakes. It's much harder to help someone else and the world around you even while you carry the guilt of your own mistakes.
Amen my friend!
Inspiring, guys.
We all have emotional problems or broken hearts during our lives. The way what we face it is what the matter. Keep It Up, Tim. I love you indeed, like you were my blood brother. I can see that you've changed and still trying to be Better. God Bless you all, guys. Greetings From Brazil. 🇧🇷
I just ordered their book and I'm willing to read it thoroughly, I love every individual in AILD and give thanks for saving me in my darkest times. Awakened has helped me through so much and I appreciate that album so much! Thank you guys ❤
We loved watching this, thank you for sharing guys!
This was an experience, words of wisdom to say the least..
This is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing.
This was so.. So good! I found myself entranced, emotional and blessed to have seen this video. Thank you Tim and the rest of the band for believing in Tim and yourselves. I recently had 2 heart attacks, and can relate to the forgiveness and compassion aspect. Thank you again.
Amazing story. I appreciate AILD for being transparent. As someone who struggles with mental illness, I find inspiration in Tim’s recovery. As an AILD fan, I’m loving the new music, and the story behind it makes it even more meaningful.
I will forever be thankful for As I Lay Dying. I first listened to them when I was 16 years old and dealing with my own personal issues at that age, that’s never changed, 12 years later now that I’m 28. This is one band that has consistently been in my life and through their lyrics & music, I’ve always found my way through. It’s hard calling what he did a mistake because there could’ve been a totally different outcome and I’m sure Tim, his former wife, his kids, his band, his family, his fans all know the extent of what could’ve been. However, I believe there’s a man that wants and strives for a change in his life. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to forgive someone for their actions, I’ve dealt with that in my own ways. I, however, will. This music and these lyrics saved me when I needed them and continue to do so today. Thank you As I Lay Dying, thank you Heart Support, and thank you Tim for an inspirational story.
Respect! I loved this. It was hard to watch and hear your story. When you were gone the rest of the fans only hoped AILD would reform. And now you guys are back with vengeance! Thanks for all your hard work. I feel we all can relate to some things you were going through. Glad you came out stronger in the end. ✌
This really explains the energy I witnessed from them when they recently came to the Blind Tiger in Greensboro, NC. I thought they all looked so happy to be on stage, but there was a deeper meaning behind their smiles and attitude that I couldn't quite understand until now. Tim's incident has redefined and unified all of them, ultimately evolving them into stronger and wiser men who all now have a common goal and direction. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for these guys and the evolution of their music.
This band has helped me with so much in my life, Tim has always and will always be one of my biggest idols in life. His dark path resembles a path that I took of my own and the steps that I had to take to gain the love and respect back from the people I hurt. I love how forgiving my loved ones were and I love how your brotherhood kept you guys going. Always teaching but more importantly, learning and sharing.
I love this video.
Amen, brothers. That was very cathartic for me.
I'm so so glad the Tim turned his life around and I'm sure that he has learnt by his mistakes and that's what's important,and also im so happy about As I Lay Dying reuniting and making music again. And thank you to all the people in Heart Support..keep going and stay strong guys
Amnesios Stepping in a dogshit is a mistake. Hiring someone to kill your wife is a choice.
I can't put into words how meaningful this band has been to my life. Since i was a depressed Schoolboy and found relief on AILD Lyrics, that brought sence to all that pain i was passing through. I initially loved them for the impact of their music in my life. Now i love them twice because of that harsh process of healing, forgiving and restoration. That's why i take this message within my heart.
I felt as if they open their hearts and let me in. Thank you for this video. Listening to your voices and your message has been like an ASMR experience for my soul. We are all just souls healing, searching and pouring unto one another.
That's a very spiritual viewpoint and so eloquently described.
Thank you for sharing this unique and powerful story.
powerful? it's kinda opposite.
14:45 will be me running to the store when the new AILD album drops.
Great video and message!
Awwe such a cute doggo!

@@DeathColdBeer you said you will run to the store to buy album...
Death Cold Beer Best Buy Walmart target basically any general store
Thanks for sharing guys and glad you are back
I am so glad I just watched this. Thank you so much for creating something for people to turn to for help. This world is dark with not enough candle holders. Thank you for forgiving Tim and being the guys all of your fans fell in love with since the beginning. Stay brave fellows. 🙌🏻
Half a decade ago, I was making fun of psycho Tim for being such a nut case.
Now, every time I see the guys face I almost cry because I've never seen such a radical shift from negative to positive and it's fucking amazing.
Even though that I agree that it's amazing, saying that it's the most radical shift from negative to positive that you've ever witnessed is whack. Get out and visit a homeless shelter or a prison visit group. The stories of retribution that you'll hear from just an 'average' person will change you.
@@joshkmaillet he might be a lil over exaggerating, but chill man you know what he means.
@@muddyhotdog4103 I'm chill lol. It's 2020, writing what you mean isn't tough.
@@joshkmaillet taking a hint at what a person means isn't either
@@muddyhotdog4103 mhm
I never knew any of this. Heartbreaking but good on you guys for pushing through. With love, - Kron
Building a greater foundation! Thank you for making it worth to support you guys even in the darkest times when it was hard to do so. Never stop believing, love you all.
Was shocked and heartbroken when the news broke about what Tim had tried to do.
Swore that i'd never listen to my Favorite band again...
The day he was released, I didn't hesitate to throw in a CD and hope they'd reconnect!
I found AILD during my darkest times, I couldn't turn my back on them during theirs!
Great job with this video and message!
This new album is gonna be insane...
Well done AILD and Heartsupport 👌👍👏
Wow, just wow. Thank you all for your strength in sharing this story.
My levels of respect and love for AILD has totally skyrocketed after watching this.
