Im just now learning about this change in lineup, and gotta say, I loved Lead sails but was hugely dissappointed when alex couldnt sing any of it live. In many cases, not even close. Brandon sings like a fuggin angel, and if hes singing clean vocals live perfectly like he always does, and fully embracing frontman duty, im in. energy was great, band sounded great. Atreyu has my attention again.
Broooo this is fucking crazy! I saw them at Afterschock. I had never listened to them but they played right before Gojira and Mudvayne. Literally one of the best live performances I’ve ever attended to. People were crowd surfing so much I just saw human bodies flying on top of me from all directions. Good times
Huh? Why wouldn't they? You must not know Alex already left for a few years in the past and the band continued. He returned and then left a second time.
2:24 He's had that guitar forever and still uses it for live shows. Here's him in 2008 for example, but he had it even before that th-cam.com/video/dgQrRAFL0V4/w-d-xo.html
@@arthurlarrubia Haha, right on man. Yeah I have an old Fender Strat that's almost twice as old as me and the once white pick guard is almost cream colored now. I also have an old Martin acoustic all original with a lot of love and playing over the years. It's been on the road with a few different bands. My buddy who's in a band called A Day to Remember "if you've heard of them" gifted used it for some acoustic shows on the road too and gifted it to me a few years ago. I haven't refurbished or replaced a thing other than strings. You can definitely tell it's been places but in a cool way. Natural patina is the best sometimes. Even some badly worn guitars like Willie Nelson's guitar Trigger has a damn hole in it. Haha
@@closinginonclosure First time he quit was because he needed surgery for his nodules and almost lost his voice completely. This second time, no idea why he quit but the band will go on without him.
@@ragnarokxg2113 He had different vocal issues well before that and just pushed through. Even changing his vocal approach on records and began screaming less and doing different things on Lead Sails. The vocal issues weren't the sole reason he wanted a "hiatus". He was just burnt out and stopping just also afforded him the opportunity to address his vocal issues properly. I remember him talking about being burnt out and wanting to focus on different areas of his life at the time. He posted about it on social media and opened a new gym. And he was happy doing different things. It's wasn't just because of vocal problems. I'm sure you could look up old interviews or even his old Instagram posts and stuff if you don't want to take my word for it.
@@closinginonclosure I know he also wanted to do other stuff. I just remember the first hiatus began as him having vocal issues, because I remember that as a time a lot of my favorite band singers also were having vocal issues.
@@ragnarokxg2113 Nah man. You remember wrong then. The vocal issues were a couple years before the hiatus. It had absolutely nothing to do with it. In fact, as soon as the hiatus began Alex started a new band called I Am War with a couple guys from Bleeding Through. They started writing and recording immediately after Atreyu stopped and released a record a few months later. 😂 I honestly have no idea why you're arguing something that just isn't true. There's a ton of proof out there to substantiate that. Interviews, Alex's Instagram, you can probably Google search as well. I'm sure there's documentation of all of it and when Atreyu ended and Alex started I Am War. He was just burnt out with Atreyu. Uninspired and it felt repetitive for him and he just wasn't happy with a lot about the band at the time.
The beauty of atreyu was the balance between the harsh vocals of Alex and the cleans of Brandon. Then they started going mainstream and tried forcing Alex to do clean vocals(why when you have a crooner like Brandon). They wanted to be mainstream, Alex wanted to be heavy and they kicked him out cause of it. Alex was the soul of the band and they are a hollow shell of what they used to be without him.
Yes Alex is missing, but they still do great music. And one can't take this concert memory from me, as I was somewhere in the crowd and fucking enjoyed the music!
Will Sasso absolutely killing it as a front man.
Lmaoo
Hi I'm Kenny Rogers, and this is Atreyu
This performance is so fucking good. Atreyu forever!

Alex was a good frontman and screamer. He could somewhat sing.
Brandon taking one for the team! Glad to see this band still going strong and having 95 percent of its original members 💪🏼💪🏼
They only have 2 original members left. If you count when they FIRST started the band.
@@SilverDust90 to be fair, most people don’t count anything before Suicide Notes lol
Remember listening to them when i was a kid. Still listen all the time. Love them!!

I saw them in 2008. Same thing then. Just an awesome show.
The drummer sing well, but i miss alex’s scream with a mixture of natural voice.
That was the key element of atreyu.
And he looks so cool😂
The song didn't hit the same without Alex. Mistake letting him go
Brandon's voice is so good, such a talent!!! Soo cool to see him front the band! Good luck guys with the future.
So awesome that they played this song
Loved this band before, love this band still, they're fucking epic!
Madden nostalgia
dude im 36 now i did listen to atreyu first time when i was 17 ......... i feel old but brandon nail it. Much love from Germany
that was fucking sick. this dude can really sing god damn
I can already see us at the "When we were young" festival
I’m glad they’re still going but it is just losing too much without Alex there.
Is that the drummer? What happened to him?
@@soundscapemusic8980 the drummer is singing. The former growling vocalist quit and now the bassist is doing Alex's parts
Huh? Why wouldn't they? You must not know Alex already left for a few years in the past and the band continued. He returned and then left a second time.
@@closinginonclosure because it’s not working out very well. And I don’t remember him ever leaving the band officially in the past
@@baronveritas7133 this performance was great! with alex they didnt sound this good live
Good to see the drummer fronting this band now, he was the star the whole time
Absolutely. Brandon is STUPID talented.
10000%
Yeah I agree with this, the drummer could sing and scream, where they dude they had I'm sure his name was Alex, I think his chords blew out
@@Alexander-uz8qk bad take on Alex
Silverdust care to elaborate?
Amo essa banda de coração 😍 🇧🇷👏👏❤❤❤
Te achei mano..kkkkk
@@desouza2296 mas olha kkkkkk pow meu amigo e nois!

I could Danny Worsnop killing it in Atreyu

They sound great on their own dare I say?!?
This band will be awesome again soon. Keep working boys

Here he is in 2006 playing it too. That guitar has played nearly 20 years of Atreyu shows ://th-cam.com/video/u_0h7-fkUvE/w-d-xo.html
funny how the white is almost brown by now, I have a white V thats following that direction too haha @@closinginonclosure

thats very interesting my dude, I love how guitars can age almost like people do@@closinginonclosure
It’s good he got someone else to play drums. Now he can focus more on his singing.
Omg I didn't know Alex quit . The drummer sounds super great though 👌
Yep. His second time quitting. Left for a few years from like 2011-2014 or 15. Them came back just to quit again.
@@closinginonclosure First time he quit was because he needed surgery for his nodules and almost lost his voice completely. This second time, no idea why he quit but the band will go on without him.

Was soooo much better with Alex...
Hellz yes

🐐
Madden 08 soundtrack anyone?
Como o amigo acima disse é muito estranho, mesmo depois de alguns anos, não ter o Alex ali.
Mas... que performance do caralho dos caras, pqp
It's strange without Alex, but awesome show.
It's not like we haven't seen Atreyu without him before. He left for a few years before and then came back and left again.
When it comes to songs from Suicide Notes, The Curse, Long Live, A Death Grip and even some of Congregation? Yes. Everything else? Not really.
omfg what a energy :o
Who the heck is the chubby frontman? A fill in? Or is that the dude who used to play drums?
Same guy that was on drums before. He moved off of drums when Alex left at least for live shows
Branden Saller
Bro show this man the respect he deserves! Without him Atreyu would have died with Alex leaving !
@@alexmitchell9336 nah i hasn’t seen them in a while and was just shook a little. Haha
Epic performance
Yes Alex is missing, but they still do great music. And one can't take this concert memory from me, as I was somewhere in the crowd and fucking enjoyed the music!
Used to be great
LT_LIVE 🙏👍🏼😊 🥁🎶🎤🎸🎹🎷🎺🎻
Aquí se de muestra la importancia del bajo en la música
Still bad ass live show
What did porter say
He sounds like Will Control from Aiden asking for a bigger circle pit
what happened to Alex?i'm so lost
Dude you’re late he left the band
Damn what happened to thr vocals
John Travolta on lead guitar
Is that stifler playing guitar?
This is fucking awesome!
The singer left?
Yes, I guess some shit with his vocal chords.
Nope... not the same
Retired 50 years skateboarder former UFC fighter Uriah Faber on guitar!! 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine someone just decked the singer.
For Fat Guy!!!
Yea they don’t need Alex.
What the fuck am I seeing here??? Why is shrek not on the drums any more??
to be honest, it sounds better without Alex live, cuz even when Alex was great on the records, live he sucked
Lol!!!!
They sound like crap without Alex!
pathetic without Alex
👍
