    Love it! Back in High School everyone loved Killswitch and I was known as the 'As I Lay Dying' guy. I thought they were a cut above the rest, especially when Shadows are Security dropped and they had Nick on lead guitar. It was a big gut punch when the news broke about Tim and his Murder for Hire plot. Following his release I didn't care, didn't even realize he was released until someone told me something about it. When Nick left the band back in 2020/2021 I figured something was up. I got tickets to their Summer 2022 show in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and not to long after that Josh left and then they kicked out Jordan.... to me at that point it wasn't As I Lay Dying it was 'The Tim Lambesis' project. I still went to the show and watched Brand of Sacrifice, Shadow of Intent and Whitechapel play and then left. Great show and a ton of fun. I can never forgive Tim for what he attempted to do. The fact he wanted to hire a hitman, then get to play the victim for a tragedy he caused... naah, fuck that.

  • @hana_river
    @hana_river Před 11 měsíci +6

    I went to As I Lay Dying gig in South Korea 10 years ago, and it was one of my best memories as a teenager before Tim was caught.
    We did not have a lot of metalcore fans in Korea, of course. However, a small group of us was incredibly excited to witness As I Lay Dying live in concert, since it was hard as hell to see a metal band like them in our country. Of course, none of us could have expected that this would be their last performance before Tim faced legal issues. (I'm not entirely certain about the details, as this memory is from a decade ago.)
    Yeah, the gig itself was absolutely mind-blowing, and I even had the chance to meet the band afterward. I told Tim that I was a huge fan of his and shook his hand.
    And less than a week I heard the news, which made me very disappointed in him, and myself who really liked the band and metalcore scene.
    I don't know if this is the reason, but I started to listen to metal music less and made me completely forget about them nearly 10 years before someone mentioned the band on the internet suddenly.
    I was shocked to discover that Tim is still performing and that there are still supporters of his. I understand that there aren't many metalcore bands like those from the 2000s and 2010s, and people may have little choice but to continue attending his performances.
    Their music was great, and I admit Tim is still a good metalcore vocalist, however, what he tried to do will never be forgiven although he was released years ago.
    While researching about the band, I found out your contents and learned about the scene more precisely since I had no chance to experience them in front. (like Warped Tour for example)
    Thanks for your good content including your main channel, and wish you good luck 👍

    You pretty much nailed it with flyleaf. As someone who grew up in the Christian scene, they were big there.

    The reason why Flyleaf is held high today isnt just because their songwriting but because Lacey of by herself is awesome. Shes a great solo artist in her own right. Shes the Queen of Christian Rock. Shes has one album, has tons of singles, and does features with everyone in the Christian scene and some secular stuff too. Like Nothing More, Lindsey Stirling, and Breaking Benjamin. She's starting to become pretty prolific.

Seeing them on top 10 lists on MTV with bands like paramore, 30 sexonds to mars, the used, etc. I never remembered them being talked about as a christian band. I actually found out about Flyeaf on Rock Band and later on MTV

    • @doublewhat07

      @TYLERtheMAGGOT1 they are very Christian. Just listen to the song Beautiful Bride or Again or Chasm. Or even Perfect, Fully Alive and All Around Me. Or Fire Fire or New Horizons.
      And they are not emo. They are post-grunge. They do a very good version of it that's not like any other band. People probably think they are emo because she screams on a few of their songs. She screams way more in her solo stuff. But they are a crossover band like Switchfoot, P.OD.,and Skillet, meaning they were known first in Christian circles, then later in secular mainstream. They blew up because Jonathan Davis put them on the 2006 Family Values Tour. I'm So Sick is on the live tour compilation. That's how I heard about them. My local rock station played them and talked about them being invited by Davis to play the main stage. Korn to Flyleaf pipeline.
      .....
      Lacey became a Christian after thinking about committing suicide as a teen. Went through a lot of stuff in her life. Then formed the band later. They were first known as Passerby. She left Flyleaf because she got married, and had a child and wanted to dive deeper into ministry stuff, which she did. Then she returned to music with a solo album. And then has been realeasing tons of singles for the Christian Rock market. And now she is back with Flyleaf. But there's no doubt about it, Flyleaf has always been Christian.

But moreso than those other bands, Lacey's singing style is very reminiscent of emo post hardcore and pop punk bands ( iconic emo singer Hailey Williams is often compared to her) , and as mentioned that style of singing only started showing up more in post grunge after flyleaf blew up. Flyleaf have alot of emo fans, their songs make emo playlists, Lacey is often seen as an emo icon, Even her backstory about being suicidal sounds emo. So yeah while their music and bands they tour with is more post grunge, they are at least emo adjacent.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think of Mastodon as having the same ancestral DNA as The Sword, Baroness, etc. Their influences always seemed more in the vein of some of the late 90s progressive extreme metal a la Death, Pestilence, Gorguts, etc. but then went the way of stoner rock as their fanbase grew.

    @soysaucehairdye7869 Před 11 měsíci +4

    I love Flyleaf, but I definitely wouldn't consider them metal. They are more of a post-hardcore version of The Cranberries where the lilting is replaced by some screaming. Flyleaf's best album is without a doubt their second album which focused much more on beautiful vocal melodies where Lacey is singing F#5s with ease than the more screaming focus of the first album ( 'Break Your Knees' is the best song on any of their full LPs). The third album has some beautiful vocal melodies as well with 'Great Love' being a standout track, but was still the weakest of the three with Lacey. The thing with Flyleaf is their songs before their albums when they went by the name Passerby were probably their best songs they ever wrote. All of their early songs are beyond great such as 'Supernatural,' 'Whispering Fingertips,' and 'Amy Says'.

    • @acerimmer8338
      @acerimmer8338 Před 11 měsíci +1

      While I actually feel album 3 is their best album, can totally understand why most think Memento is. But absolutely agree, their Passerby stuff was the best. Really wish there was well-produced versions of those songs. Just look at the Amy Says remake- it's beautiful and tear inducing.
