I saw them in 96 by accident having no idea who they were. Mostly played stuff off acrobatic tenement that night. 8 bands in a suburb gymnasium, they played last and it was fucking historic.
A girl ended up dying from asphyxiation later that day due to that fun crowd. Cedric was right to be concerned and pissed off. Too many people think that "rock" or "punk rock" means you go into every situation with an angry chip on your shoulder. If you think that, you missed the point.
THIS is how you play a rock show! 1) be high as a kite 2) berate & insult the audience until they hate you 3) blow everyone's mind with your spot-on take no prisoners performance 4) walk off the stage 3 songs into said set because the audience won't stop slamdancing Turns out they were right. If I remember correctly, later that day a kid got trampled to death in a crowd during a Limp Bizkit show during Big Day Out.
God damn. They don't make em like this anymore. Opened for them in 96-they started, Cedric climbed the PA, leapt off, and landed breakdancing somehow (the show was in a gym). That guy knows how to throw a mic stand around. It was on the el grando orgo tour, they were already legends.
Had the honor of seeing them four times live. First time was in/casino/out opening for Spoon and Archers of Loaf. They played in front of 20 people, but played like they played in front of 20,000. Second time they opened for Jimmy Eat World pre-2000. Then saw them in Irvine at This Ain't No Picnic with Sonic Youth, SDRE, Mike Watt, Sleater Kenney. Last time at Trees in Dallas. Absolutely amazing live. So proud they are from Texas.
arc arsenal and cosmonaut!?! are you kidding? this is the rarest set.. not just atdi but these specific songs together you cant find anywhere else. not on any other videos.
The Circus Studios Recording Studio Eh, I asked Cedric on instagram if they ever played Proxima Centauri live breore the 2016 reunion and he said yes, but I haven't found a video of them doing it yet. Maybe there simply isn't, but arcarsenal and cosmonout they've played in twonof their most famous shows. Namely this, and in Tokyo.
Damn it, I recognized those chords the guys were strumming just before cedric lost it. They were going to play Lopsided. Ugggh...if Cedric had waited just one more song to crack.
While I do think Cedric was being critical of the audience, I think he anticipated how arrogant he was to be viewed and sort of made out a joke of himself as well. He didn't care what he said and he didn't care if others listened, he just did as he felt.
Serious mental gymnastics at play here. They were all acting like virtue signaling hypocrites. Telling the crowd not to be violent while throwing mic stands into a pit of security guards who had their backs turned to the band. They were being immature a-holes here. There’s nothing more to say.
@@shammycat3538 Or perhaps they were foreshadowing the fact that later that day, a girl will die in the Limp Bizkit mosh pit and many people will be critically injured….. which is what happened.
The comedown from this gig must have been mighty. What an absolutely astounding performance. And not the kind that's too kind on your body in the process!
"If you don't know who The Fall is, you're listening to too much hip hop and heavy metal" They're speedballing their dicks off. -At the Drive In, RIP my friends
I was at this Show, in the 3rd row, and remember this VIVIDLY. They walked off stage after a few cans got thrown at them after they were an hour + late from memory
Funny how against they were against crowd surfing back then, yet when I saw them last week there was a lot of crowd surfing, even Cedric jumped in the crowd and surfed a bit....my how times have changed lol.
@@HeavyProfessor Well, really only one person, but yeah. Though that's not really the point of the comment, just that Cedric acted like he was somehow better for being against slamdancing
"I think it's a very, very sad day when the only way you can express yourself is through slam dancing. Are you all typically white people? Y'all look like it to me. Look at that - you learned that from the T.V, you didn't learn that from you best friend!!! You're a robot... you're a SHEEP!!! BAAAAHHHHH!!! BAAAAHHHHH!!! BAAAAHHHHH!!! BAAAAHHHHH!!! BAAAAHHHHH!!! That's why I have a microphone and you don't. You're a sheep - you watch TV way too much. BAAAAHHHHH!!!BAAAAHHHHH!!!" -- Cedric Bixler-Zavala
I dont see how he was being bad to the crowd? He was obviously not being serious half the time. Would have loved to see them live though, looks hectic!
No, he was being serious. Cedric spoke publicly about this. They hated the nu-metal scene (they toured with Mudvayne and Linkin Park). They walked off only after 3 songs, because they were tired of watching the crowd beat the shit out of each other. Him calling them "sheep" is reference to the fact that the nu-metal scene was deeply misogynistic and they were watching men get into fist fights with women, and berating each other instead of listening to the music and having a good time.
Vividly remember Mudvayne played on the stage set up next to them prior to atdi set, couldn’t get two different sets of fans on either side, when they merged to the atdi side after the mudvayne set I knew it was going to get real aggressive really quick.
Right in the edge of breaking out and they stopped. Too much hard times working up to that point and the exhaustion. You can see why things happened the way they did...
You can feel the energy in this performance even through the camera. Man, wish I was there. Can anyone there weigh in as to how it was? Would love to hear about it. Also love you Australians, visited Sydney not too long ago and you guys are good people.
Isles487 i was at the gig 2 days later where they lasted the full set - just as epic and out of control as this one and we all knew we were experiencing something special at the time. Never seen anything like it before or since...
I was there and their set came on in the early afternoon. Mudvayne played just before them on the next stage, so there was a lot of that energy in the place as a bunch of people just switched stages. This was before they put all the barriers in that you see these days so you would just get these huge surges of people all pushing to get in front of the band. Relationship of Command had just blown up in Australia in the months before, so there was a lot of people there to see what they sounded like live. Crowd was pretty intense but I'd seen worse (Mark of Cain at Homebake '96 was way crazier than this). Anyway, Cedric and parts of the crowd antagonized each other and then someone threw a sneaker at him and they just walked off. Thought it was part of the act for a while but they never came back. I was fuckin pissed at the time cause they were one of the main reasons I was there and it had been an incredible three songs. Anyway, they kinda had a point cause a girl was crushed to death at Limp Bizkit later that day. Kinda the same shit. As soon as the band came on you just had people running from everywhere and streaming towards the front.
Yup, I saw them on this Big Day Out tour at the Gold Coast event. It was well known that they'd walked off in Sydney just before, so there was a lot of anticipation about how it might go down. They checked in pretty aggressively with the crowd several times, it wasn't as antagonistic as this Sydney performance, but the tension between the band and the crowd was visceral. I think from memory there was a big pause at one time (they may have even walked off stage?) and we thought it was all over but they continued a finished their whole set. I remembered thinking that a lot of their concern about the crowd was misplaced. I know that it was very different in the US around that time, but in Australia (at least in Brisbane/Gold Coast) in that era, big crowds seemed to genuinely take care of each other, especially with smaller people in the mosh and when crowd surfing. My main memories from those times are big dudes always pulling people up, everyone making sure everyone gets some water and checking they were okay before highfiving and sending people on their way with smiles all around. People were constantly apologising to each other and taking care of anyone that seemed out of control or suffering from heat stroke or exhaustion. It felt really safe to me for many years. That feeling did seem to shift only a few years later though, it seemed like there was an influx of people that acted more selfish and viciously. I was totally blown away by this band and have pretty much never witnessed this same level of sustained energy before or since. I know they were barely hanging together, but honestly the tension within and without was something special.
I was there, there was ao much energy as a lot of us were waiting to see mudvayne on the stage next to them, I was so hyped to see at the drive in. But Cedric was being such a dick, in the mosh pit we were having fun.
What many don't know is that about. A month before this performance they were involved in a vehicle accident which pushed them over the edge mentally...already they were exhausted from the drug use n Rocknroll schedule that apparently they split up soon after this incident! So sad for a very creative band that stood out amongst all others. Reunited in 2012 but didn't work out and it was also apparent the energy was not there anymore...check it out for y'all selves#!
+Oscar Rodriguez Can you tell us about that accidente? I didn't know that... I read that they split up because of Cedric and Omar being bored and doing the same time since they formed the band
As for the energy of the 2012 reunion... Omar's mother had passed shortly before it started, so his mind was obviously elsewhere at the time. That led to his energy being sucked into the rest of the band's, and it took a toll on everyone. Their reunion tour this year is far better by comparison, although Jim opted out shortly before it began to focus on other aspects of his life.
I was at this concert, To be fair to ATDI the organisers underestimated their popularity and put them on a small stage in a shed on a +35 degree day. So after Mudvayne, Sunk Loto and the Avalanches played the shed was at max capacity. He came out before they even played and and was a bit of an ass from the start. Maybe too many people were passing out due to the heat in the shed and the organisers told them to cool it... Prob what happened... How can a hardcore band tell people not to mosh or circle? Still love em but there was an agenda coming into it imo.
Typical big concert organisers. Just because a band is loud it doesn't mean they should be lumped into the Metal category of the festival and billed next to a band like Mudvane. That's like Kraftwerk following Yes because both bands embraced synthesizers. No wonder Cedric was being a snob namedropping Mark E Smith, knowing full well that 99 % of the slam dancing audience wouldn't have a clue who he was talking about.
Big Day Out wasnt a metal festival nor did it have a "metal stage". All different genres of bands were billed together on the same stages one after another. It just so happened on this occasion that they played after Mudvayne. In 1994 they had Ramones play, then Bjork straight after, and then Soundgarden played after them. Australia didnt have many festivals throughout the 90s and most of 2000, so BDO had first choice of music acts so therefore they thrived from bringing together many genres of music. The only stage which had specific artists was the "Boiler Room" which mainly played DJs and dance artists. Otherwise all other artists were playing the same stages. Lol pretty sure in 2004 the Strokes had to play right before Metallica. That would have been tough haha
Cedric antagonised the crowd with all that baaing like a sheep crap. They were doing well before that in terms of managing the crowd. I was there and just after this video ends he said “you are a sheep. You are a bovine”. A bovine is actually a cow. It’s a pity some idiot threw a massive boot at them and they walked off after about 5 songs, but they did antagonise the crowd first. Cedric does admit he could have handled it differently and better during the interview link below which is good to hear. ua-cam.com/video/kXjZ59HdBgI/v-deo.html The crowd surfers who started lifting up a girl on a boogey board. during the next song right down the front to antagonise the band should have been kicked out. Why they were even let in with a boogey board is odd - different times I guess.
When they say peoples true colours always show, its true. Coming here after that shit show astroworld experience to find the most beautiful soul and speech and performance and ending in the world. His colours are beautiful.
man, right now im thinking omar should had really stayed in at the drive in and see what it could had become with this old group... mars volta is better tho but he really just wanted to do what he felt best so theres no way to change a person who seeks from the heart
I thought I already commented this here but - holy SHIT the quality of Aussie Speed they're on must be out of this WORLD
This is one of the greatest performances to have ever been captured on video.
you won the internet...
I completely agree with this 100%. There's nothing like this footage.
Endless Grind surely you jest. If this is music then so is the sound of two cats Fucking. These guys need to get off the bath salts
why are you watching it then?
Was there. And, yes, this is one of those videos that captures the intensity of the performance very well. Truly one of the best bands I ever saw.
I had the honor of seeing them in 98 in Des Moines Iowa. They opened for Fugazi. Best show I have been to too date...
I saw them in 96 by accident having no idea who they were. Mostly played stuff off acrobatic tenement that night. 8 bands in a suburb gymnasium, they played last and it was fucking historic.
God damn! seeing Fugazi and Atdi in the same gig, i'm pretty sure it was so sick
Damn thats a line up
damn. legendary.
2:14 That jump to dance move combo will go down in history
Jake Schoer ima try that in the club
AMEN
Robert Almeida 😅
Proper Mick Jagger vibes there. Amazing.
Thats one of those moves that you only get ONE shot to even ATTEMPT let alone pull off with such swagger haha
Still the best 13 minute set ever.
Still watching in 2023... What a show(!)
A girl ended up dying from asphyxiation later that day due to that fun crowd. Cedric was right to be concerned and pissed off. Too many people think that "rock" or "punk rock" means you go into every situation with an angry chip on your shoulder. If you think that, you missed the point.
+JFJHJPmusicLove exactly. I feel this is the best proof that they were right about people being too careless.
FUCK LIMP BIZKIT
JFJHJPmusicLove girls are not allowed in mosh pits... To weak
Too weak *
@@amaze2n If you play music, punk rock doesn't mean killing someone in a mosh pit.
Wow this cosmonaut performance is especially badass.

1) be high as a kite
2) berate & insult the audience until they hate you
3) blow everyone's mind with your spot-on take no prisoners performance

Turns out they were right. If I remember correctly, later that day a kid got trampled to death in a crowd during a Limp Bizkit show during Big Day Out.
Spot on mate, a 16yr old girl died in the mosh pit when limp bizkit played. Fred Durst got in huge amounts of shit for it
I love the fact they're on a Wiggle's stage
"guys, stop slam dancing"
Also: here's the craziest music you'll hear today.
1:49 LOL, love how he drops from the mic before even finishing "Beware...."
Saw them in Pomona with the Murder City Devils in like 98-99. To this day, the best show I've ever been to in my life.

Probably cos drugs.
More like lack of drugs. He was on more shit in ATDI than he ever was in TMV.
Cedric is not the same anymore his like what ever
Yeah, he changed a lot over the years. He doesn't even smoke weed anymore, let alone do any of the other drugs he used to be into.
Scott Udell Wait what other drugs was he on? this is new to Me, I knew he smoked weed tho.
Esto es lo mejor que ví de parte de estos locos
I find it funny that atdi used this specific youtube video for their webpage lol
I went to college in San Antonio and one of my buddies from El Paso introduced me to ATDI....I haven't been the same since 😈
one of the most sacred vids on youtube.
