Guard literally got paid to stand there and rock out in front of the carnage and mayhem that is an Acacia Strain pit. This man was a very happy man this day.
It’s 2020 and I keep coming back to this video. First time seeing this band and after that pit exploded they became my favorite band of all time. To this DAY they’re on my daily playlist.
I had this same similar situation happen to me the 1st time seeing them...now its a daily ritual! And just by luck i get to go see them at a Halloween show on October 27 in Dallas Texas 2023!🤘🤘🤘
15 years since this was released. And still one of the greatest songs. Subjectively of course. But to know this song was old in this recording is special! Thank you uploadman
Love seeing people mosh during the fucking intro before the band even takes the stage. Shit gets me amped. Same with seeing staff at the rail go hard too.
I am somewhere in this crowd. I loved bamboozle I was so upset when they changed it to skate and surf except for the year they held it at six flags that was dope
@adamnitson I love how before Vincent yells "everybody! fucking! MOVE!", it looks like he's texting and just starts fucking killing it all of the sudden
I was here the pit was deadly I remember seeing people getting knocked out and broken noses left and right at one point the pit went all the way to the Ferris whell all the way in the back of the lot
When lead singers like Vince say shit like "open this up," that just implys hardcore dancing will occur. This is angry, negative music, and hardcore dancing gets all the energy out of the body.
@adamnitson Its because the guy filming is on the side of the stage - so he's getting Kevin's monitor sound of the trigger. The PA speakers are at the front of the stage and sound more natural.
3:16 Now that's how you enjoy a breakdown, respect to those three front row dudes. Edit: and respect to whatever that purple hood dude was doing in the back.
Jesus christ. I swear some kids in that crowd are windmilling so fast they're gonna fuckin take off. It's almost like im watching a helicopter impressions tournament
never seen event staff get into it before... holy fuck!! nice!! \m/ now this is what metal is all afuckingbout! metal fans uniting as 1 to enjoy a badass show from a sick ass fucking band.... not getting on youtube on mommy's window's xp bashing suicide silence for continuing on without mitch.... start the revolution! lets unite! \m/ metal 4 life!!!
@Twinkie280 actually, i have never been hit by a hardcore dancer before. That generally doesn't happen unless you are in the pit with the hardcore dancers. I only go in good old fashioned moshing pits and walls of death.

That guard is all about this band haha
Darryl McDaniel

14 years ago holy shit. Is this what getting old is like
10 motherfucking years ago bro, i'm old as fuck.
own the fucking space you're in and all will be fine. it's all about getting that aggression out.
Love seeing people mosh during the fucking intro before the band even takes the stage. Shit gets me amped.
Same with seeing staff at the rail go hard too.
You know a set is going to be good when the people are opening it up even before theres a song even playing. Sick Shit!
One of the best bands ever!

I get chills everytime I watch this video :D
I love the event staff guy on the bottom left in the beginning. haha

At this point it's very rare in my area to see anyone hardcore dancing. I used to hate pits like that but now I miss it :( Now it's just push pits
@adamnitson I love how before Vincent yells "everybody! fucking! MOVE!", it looks like he's texting and just starts fucking killing it all of the sudden
I love these guys.
haha the staff security dude in the bottom right corner is gettin into it lol
the event staff coming out in a line to the epic intro music..prepare for war.
He didnt leave, he just doesnt tour as much as he used to, because he is taking care of his son.
I've never seen that before. thats pretty metal dude. every concert I go too there as still as fuck.
Omg -3 seeing them in march, Soo stoked
I was here the pit was deadly I remember seeing people getting knocked out and broken noses left and right at one point the pit went all the way to the Ferris whell all the way in the back of the lot
Chris Randazzo They always get down. Saw them a bunch of times and that shit was always brutal. So fun.
+crooshflow - Agreed. Every time I've ever seen the Strain shit got rowdy af.
Saw them with oceano a year or two ago. Dislocated limbs, blood and sweat were the majority of the pit. Super rowdy!
This drummer is a fucking human metronome gosh damn he is on point
I love how into it that staff member is getting
What has this world become hahahah hard core dancing as just takin over everywhere
bad ass, the security likes the strain's sound haha
Ahahaha the event staff going nuts! LOL.

i don't think i've seen anyone as happy as the kid 3:17. he's jumping for joy! hahahahah
check the Event Staff! hahaa
You can tell that dude is about the core haha.
Now that's what you call loving your job haha
I seen that, Dude thats some great security work right there.
finally a security guard that likes the music lol
When lead singers like Vince say shit like "open this up," that just implys hardcore dancing will occur. This is angry, negative music, and hardcore dancing gets all the energy out of the body.
I Love These Guys!
Best...Event staff...ever!
@adamnitson Its because the guy filming is on the side of the stage - so he's getting Kevin's monitor sound of the trigger. The PA speakers are at the front of the stage and sound more natural.
i like the event staff dude feelin it
lol even the security guard is getting into it. :-D
that security guy is a legend!
aha i love the security guard on the right bottom side, he looks like he's about to jump in the pit himself
even staff event was head banging thats cool aha
You almost NEVER see one of the guards into the music haha props to that guy.
I'm normally in favour of IEM's with stage wedges turned off but that's an unusually good sound for the stage!
Lol even the event staff guy cant resist The Acacia Strain
i love the security guy who clearly wants to be in the pit! ha
I LOVE THESE GUYS
damn too bad i missed it. yeah i wouldn't mind seein them
haha the acacia strain is so brutal people are getting down before they started playing.
3:16 Now that's how you enjoy a breakdown, respect to those three front row dudes.
Edit: and respect to whatever that purple hood dude was doing in the back.
Jesus christ. I swear some kids in that crowd are windmilling so fast they're gonna fuckin take off. It's almost like im watching a helicopter impressions tournament

HAha the event staff all the way to the right is like
"FUCK YEA ACACIA STRAIN!"
