I met him backstage in 2006? They played with the chariot, underoath, and as cities burn...he was holding court outside of the buses and I asked him about the song gentleman and he was just so kind in explaining why they didn't play it. It's always stuck with me what a great speaker he is and how gentle he is. Has to be rad to have him as a professor. I wanna come sit in on a class.
This has been my favorite band for nearly 15 years. Aaron Weiss is unquestionably my favorite lyricists, and one of my favorite poets. As an academic myself, I'm so glad you're enjoying his professorship.
One of the most influential drummers in post hardcore and experimental rock n roll. Almost 20 years of brilliance. [A→B] Life, specifically had a huge impact on my drumming.
@@AN-vs5pb It's really hard to compare them to anyone because they're so unique. But I would say these artists and albums are in a similar vain as mewithoutYou: Brand New (The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me, Daisy), Manchester Orchestra (Cope, A Black Mile to the Surface), And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead (X: The Godless Void and Other Stories).
one of the most influential bands that a suprising number of people havnt listened to yet. a true diamond in the rough group of people making insane music for so many years.
Just saw them for the first time ever last night in Denver as part of their farewell tour. So good and so sad I won't be able to see them a 2nd time. Aaron is incredible and looks like he should be a children's book writer!
I was at that show. Absolutely stunning performance as usual for mwY. Glad you got to experience them once! They’ve been my favorite live band for 20 years, and Aaron is so unassuming; I love how all that sound and emotion erupts out of that small guy, especially on their older material.
Aaron is such a fascinating and intelligent person. I love how he sits back, crosses his legs, and drinks his water before throwing it down on the mic.
For those that might not know the band originally planned to only do this gig for 20 years. The coof messed up their schedule so they went a little over that in order to do a proper farewell. I guess what makes that crazy is if you knew this well before their 20th year you could feel the end coming year after year. I respected how they had a plan from the get go and for me makes me miss even more they will never do this again.
So I had a small hard drive with my favorite music on it that I took with me on patrol when I was stationed on a ship. So I basically got through months of not seeing shore for months by listening to mewithoutyou, and that's pretty special to me.
Honestly, one of my favorite bands of all time. Somehow they found a way to distill the depth and breadth of human passion into moments of sonic ecstasy.
I wasn't ready for the sound change when "it's all crazy it's all false.." came out. I've been rediscovering them this week and man... I've been missing out.
During the bridge in red cow you see Aaron sipping that h2o so casually with his legs gently crossed then just discards it and fucking RIFFS on his last stanza is pure hardcore metamorphosis. So hype
listening to them is practically nostalgic these days. I first heard them when I saw the music video for January 1979 on a Christian music channel on satellite, and I loved it. it brings back a lot of memories. that was dang near 15 years ago I guess. I wish I could have seen them live before they called it a day.
@@phis.750 I saw them live at least twice, always a great show. The first time I saw them was in a closed art gallery in their beginning days, Aaron walked through the crowd as he sang, first guy I ever saw do that.
end of Blue Hen is so amazing. "I'll wrap up your absence in blankets of reverence, a mastodon's shadow divided by zero!" Mastodon being something very large and very extinct. SO smart.
Oh my God, Beauty Band, Beauty Lyrics, greats music players, Bless for everybody, thanks for give another greats moments for hear excellent music... 5 days listening good music, many bands... see you, I wait for more...
How did I miss these guys in my life till now!!!??? I'm 51. As a kid I was into alternative stuff none of my friends liked, like the 77's, The Swirling Eddie's, Adam Again...... but that is late 80's, early 90's. Still a big Comeback Kid fan etc.... But somehow I never heard these guys till 2023!!! I think the late Gord Downey would love you guys!! (Google away kids)
Saw these guys supporting Coheed and Cambria in Birmingham, UK, circa '04/'05. Hadn't heard of them, hell, people had barely heard of Coheed. The ticket cost £8 lol. I travelled from Mid-Wales for the gig. When these guys came on, I didn't quite understand what I was seeing/hearing, I just knew I liked it. Checked them out after the gig and have enjoyed them ever since. Brother, Sister is in my top 10 albums of all time. Addition: Saw Coheed again this year (2024) and Claudio signed my ticket from the 2004 gig. He found it super cool I'd kept the ticket for so long. He'd be more impressed if he knew it had been through 25 house move with me too. lol.
Somewhere in Red Cow or maybe the song before if, Rickie, cuts his hand and his pants are covered in blood. Yet he keeps going with such intensity. These guys really are incredible. .
like we all do? When you listen to MWY and then sing it back to yourself, in public or private, you sound like a madman speaking scripture - lmao once my gf said "WTF are you singing? Is that scripture?" - we're not dating anymore.
It is a good question though. I've played in a Hardcore band until 2 years ago. (I was 35 when we quit) and the other bands we were playing with were getting younger every year.
the first song's intro is the same exact chord progression and rhythm as Boo by Pinback... someday... i will sail again... to a distant shore... far away...
@Ryan Smith Yep... Saw these guys more times than I could count in church basements and tiny venues with no stages in the early 00s and Aaron's intensity always made for an incredible and unique experience. Haven't seen them in years, so I don't know if he still does it, but he used to do lots of ad-libbing and changing up lyrics of songs from show to show and it was always amazing.
i know its a year late but he is actually playing double-butted sticks. they're designed for steel drums but they are fun to play on trap kits as well. you can get them anywhere.
Tyler Thomas they're not though. You can see the regular tapered end anytime he's not playing. But, since he only plays them backwards I wonder why he doesnt just use double butted sticks
Blake Killganon you’re right. Didn’t catch that. I assumed they were because there was an interview with him in a drumming magazine a few years back where he mentioned he had switched to double butted sticks and every time I’ve seen them live he’s been using them. I even talked to him about it after a show once and experimented with them for a while after that. My guess is he’s just used to using them and didn’t have any available for this show for some reason

Was hoping I’d get to see them one day. One of my favorite discoveries ever.
was at the austin one , sam situation . first and last
Never got to see them
Their drummer is so good.
I see him more as a percussionist than a drummer. He truly understands what the drums can do for a piece of music
Aaron is such a fascinating and intelligent person. I love how he sits back, crosses his legs, and drinks his water before throwing it down on the mic.
I had no idea mewithoutYou was still around. They were one of my absolute favorite bands back in the day.
How does mewithoutYou not have more views than this? They're such an influential band.
They are not hipster enough...
I dunno..the drummer is wearing glasses inside. That's pretty cool.
+Scott McMahon touché good sir, touché.
How does this comment not have more likes?
this is about as hipster as it gets I would think
I saw Mewithoutyou open for Coheed and Cambria in Milwaukee in 2005. Changed my existence.
For those that might not know the band originally planned to only do this gig for 20 years. The coof messed up their schedule so they went a little over that in order to do a proper farewell.

This is how I fell in love with mewithoutyou 5 years ago
The production on this session is top notch
26:10 I've watched this a million times and it is still one of the coolest moments of any live recording I've ever seen
This comment 👏
Yes!
Agreed. Saw it live a few times too, and it's one of my favorites parts to their songs.
YES. absolutely unreal. no words to describe this band live, from start to finish the experience is otherworldly.
Me too
So I had a small hard drive with my favorite music on it that I took with me on patrol when I was stationed on a ship. So I basically got through months of not seeing shore for months by listening to mewithoutyou, and that's pretty special to me.
MWY has a lot of nautical vibes which I like too.
I haven't been listening to anything they've put out over the past 10 years or so. Man, I've been missing out!
lol yes you have :P never too late tho. They are the only band that I absolutely love every song across all 8 albums
Gavin Rae same!
Honestly, one of my favorite bands of all time. Somehow they found a way to distill the depth and breadth of human passion into moments of sonic ecstasy.
their newest album is def one of their best projects yet bruh
I wasn't ready for the sound change when "it's all crazy it's all false.." came out. I've been rediscovering them this week and man... I've been missing out.
“Death where is thy sting” is probably the heaviest line ever written, and it’s like the world never even noticed.
well pretty sure it’s a bible quote
Check out the Bible dawg it’s sick
This is an excerpt from a Bible verse. The words are from the New Testament, namely 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
During the bridge in red cow you see Aaron sipping that h2o so casually with his legs gently crossed then just discards it and fucking RIFFS on his last stanza is pure hardcore metamorphosis. So hype
Shivers man
lol died at this observation. thank you.
It’s awesome they mentioned Coheed and Cambria! That’s my favorite band and these guys are climbing my list.
My teenager era belongs to MeWithoutYou and now my adulthood and then for sure the era of my childnren
2023 and I’m still in love with this band. Too bad they’re not together anymore.

I saw these guys with Thursday a couple times in the early 2000’s great shows.
Was that the same tour with Minus The Bear?
Cool style vocals and drums my fav of these guys
Alexander Postma pink floyd
Red Cow is so fucking intense.
23:16
end of Blue Hen is so amazing. "I'll wrap up your absence in blankets of reverence, a mastodon's shadow divided by zero!"
Mastodon being something very large and very extinct. SO smart.
They are masters
Powerful....songs really resonate with me. Love the historical references. Many layers to each song it seems
Oh my God, Beauty Band, Beauty Lyrics, greats music players, Bless for everybody, thanks for give another greats moments for hear excellent music... 5 days listening good music, many bands... see you, I wait for more...
I miss you guys already. God speed.

They always kept a mysterious presence in the scene. The people that did discover them are probably some of the most dedicated fans I have met.
MewithoutYou is perfect
I love how the humility of Aaron Weiss is shared by the rest of the band (toward other bands and the music scene in general) - Love this band!
Also, whoever does the audio engineering for these videos is fucking brilliant.
elcielo1981 our joy was electric 11:47
Come back to this just to ground myself
man, i did not expect it to be that intense
i was like did he just called them old?. and kinda embarrassing them. lol
So beautiful.
super nice band. i love the explosive drums.

Drum orchestration in D-minor is out of this world, Rich Mazzotta.
wow, this is such a great video.
Thank you so much!
Somewhere in Red Cow or maybe the song before if, Rickie, cuts his hand and his pants are covered in blood. Yet he keeps going with such intensity. These guys really are incredible.
.
revisting this a few years later. Very cool
Damn, only just discovered this band. Awesome! Interpol times a lot!
RWL de Bruijn except the lyrics are actually meaningful...coming from an interpol fan...
My my, thank all!
Still my favorite band. Love Love Love!
this band is such an influence to me
Anyone revisit this in 19?
no, internet is over
Just read that they are about to start their last tour....
20
2020 COVID session
Gonna miss these guys when they stop this year, still got all their old stuff if course but damn
That Red Cow performance will never not be amazing
How the hell does Aaron remember all those long and winding lyrics!?
i've never understood it either. he's some kind of magician or wizard
like we all do? When you listen to MWY and then sing it back to yourself, in public or private, you sound like a madman speaking scripture - lmao once my gf said "WTF are you singing? Is that scripture?" - we're not dating anymore.
It’s because it means something to him
I'm glad I'm not the only one who plays with the sticks upside-down.
Why not just play with a thicker stick?
my favorite band of all time
This is something else!!!
I recently got to see these guys, they were phenomenal. Really glad I got a chance to see them on their farewell tour.
Interviewer opens with a question like: "Since you guys are old and in your 30s, how do you handle the young kids you tour with?"
It is a good question though. I've played in a Hardcore band until 2 years ago. (I was 35 when we quit) and the other bands we were playing with were getting younger every year.
the first song's intro is the same exact chord progression and rhythm as Boo by Pinback...
someday... i will sail again... to a distant shore... far away...
Quality Gravy Oh, Pinback. I literally found love through pinback. 49531
me too, me too.
God I love pinback. Hooked since the first time I heard "Tripoli"
I thought the singer was gonna bust a blood vessel in red cow.
@Ryan Smith Yep... Saw these guys more times than I could count in church basements and tiny venues with no stages in the early 00s and Aaron's intensity always made for an incredible and unique experience.

I was so lucky to see them live by complete chance.

Why is it that every time I find out about some awesome band or artist, audiotree has already got a session with em? I'm sleeping
literally

@@graceoline thanks, looks like you definitely do too
Holy Interpol!
First one here in 2023 what what!! God what an amazing band
Best lyricist ever.
Audiotree knows whats up
RIP this band
Perfect
Hey Aaron, I know it's about to be 2020 but you can totally have my computer if you still need it(:
Beautiful
This is to anyone who gave this video a “thumbs down”, can you please explain what made you leave a negative “footprint” on something like this?
Jesus they sound identical to their record
at about 4:50 in, shit gets real.
Sweet.
28:14 if you ever doubted Aaron's sincerity..
This beith music, children. You've found it.

Really odd question but what Touche Amor shirt is the guy on the far left wearing? Can't seem to find it online
honored.

long live the bus!

Red cow is unreal
This rules!
Red Cow is a masterpiece
wonderful.
wow amazing
This band is like if la dispute and interpol had a baby.
what mic is used there with the presenter ?
commenting to be notified if someone answers.
it's a vintage Electro-Voice 630 omnidirectional dynamic mic from the late 50s
25:57 we all have a pair of those blood pants.
The drummers pants are stained with what looks like blood
he did that during this set. you can tell there's blood on his snare and hands during red cow.
Their last song chapel cross towns has an eerie similarity to a Bright Eyes song that I cant put my finger on.....
what is the audiotree intro music?
Is no one going to mention that the drummer is drumming with his sticks backwards!?
Stephen Hale actually, those sticks are playing their Ricky forwards
i know its a year late but he is actually playing double-butted sticks. they're designed for steel drums but they are fun to play on trap kits as well. you can get them anywhere.

Rickie is a mood
The interviewer guy is a young Mathew McConaughey coming down off coke, having an anxiety attack, after having taken more coke trying to come back up.
I love them, always amazing. and the host/interviewer is way hot.
Sounds like interpol!
I love
Great band.
