    ----------
    Alexisonfire performing Happiness By The Kilowatt live at Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 11 December 2012, recorded exclusively by Moshcam.
    Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001 like some monstrous and utterly captivating car-accident-in-progress. Hitting the ground with an immediate full head of steam, Dallas Green, George Pettit, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele and Jordan Hastings have not only impressed the critics with their sour/sweet approach to performance and writing, but are recognized for their stellar musicianship, and the palpably pent-up tightness of the band live.
    In August 2011, George posted a message to fans on the band's official website stating that with the departure of two members, Alexisonfire would issue several special releases and complete a farewell tour before parting ways. In terms of farewells, it was a fittingly fierce one. After ten years together, Canadian post-hardcore kings Alexisonfire called it a day in 2011, but they weren't going out without a helluva party and one last tour. Australia was lucky enough to be one of just four countries they'd visit and Moshcam was lucky enough to capture their searing swansong in Sydney.

    There are bands that produce music that sound like other bands. That's not a bad thing.
    But no other band comes close to Alexisonfire's sound!
    Oh and I was at this show!

    There's always the one spot in a band you dream of playing in, but gosh if every position in Alexisonfire isn't an envy

    Sad days lonely nights was a great addition to this song. Especially given that song is kind of based off of the euphio context.

    I was at AOF's second-last show in Toronto on December 30th, 2012. Problem is, this was before I fell in love with the band and was emotionally impacted by them, or even knew any of the songs from "Watch Out!" for that matter. I'd do anything to go back 6 months in time and go through all the shit that I have in life for a second time around, all to catch them play Happiness By The Kilowatt as their final song

    @Chrizownsyou 10 років тому +4

    Dallas, I love you man, but why at the 4:52 mark you throw in your City & Colour stuff with Alexisonfire stuff? It looks like this is what caused the breakup..you couldn't differentiate between the two..

    • @michalmezenski1491

      No, city & colour isnt what made alexisonfire..its the other way around..

    • @ktotheitothembex
      @ktotheitothembex 10 років тому +6

      ha its not like he threw it in last minute.. this was pre orchestrated and added to emphasise how epic the song is. That section adds another level to the song. You class it as city and colour because dallas sings and plays guitar, by that logic then most of AOF's songs are city and colour. y'all silly

    • @guiletheme3
      @guiletheme3 10 років тому +10

      Lol do you even know what he is singing? It's a classic blues track called 'Sad days, lonely nights' absolutely no relation to C&C. They have done the extra jam in the middle of Happiness since the Crisis tour, sometimes Dallas sang an improvised/external verse like he does here, and sometimes Wade even did. It's just a band taking liberties with their live performance and it sounds amazing.

    • @Chrizownsyou
      @Chrizownsyou 10 років тому

      Lol, it has no relation? City & Colour is a folk and blues rock band guy. Dallas needs to learn to keep AOF and City & Colour seperated. This is probably why they broke up in the first place.

  • @MaxGauthierguitar
    @MaxGauthierguitar 11 років тому +20

    After I lost my step-bro, I spent the whole night moshing alone, but I realized I wasn't alone.. I was part of a crowd of people who were having the best nights of their lives. When they played Happiness by the Kilowatt, the Moshing in the spot I was at just stopped, and me and this group of like 19 year-olds in dress shirts just sat there, screamed the words, and me & this dude.. Me and this total stranger just fucking cried together. "This is not a funeral.. This is a fucking celebration..."

    The Hamilton show was the best party I've ever been to. The very first chords in Young Cardinals, me and my step-bro looked at eachother like "This is gonna be one long fucking night" because of all the moshing. When the actual song started, we were separated within seconds. Didn't see him until the end of the show, except for when I lost one of my shoes, and bumped into him. He noticed, and 10 minutes later I bumped into him and lucky enough, he had my shoe. He had to punch someone in the face.
