Chris Steele is such a beautiful soul. Arguably, he had the most to lose when AOF split, everyone else had other projects. But Steele lives every performance like it's his last
I totally agree :)
George being a firefighter whilst being Alexisonfire is the kind of man I respect.
I used to despise George, now hes probably the one i respect the most, because he risks his life as a firefighter. That and that he loves Nick Cave, just like i do!!!
Explains why he's the only clean shaved one hahaa
@@johnnyscifi why did you despise him out of interest?
@@johnnyscifi you hate winners ?
It’s because he needs to know how to put the fire on the mic out after screaming into it brother !
All my heroes are getting grey. Sometimes I forget that I'm getting grey too.
Four out of six of the guys here have grey in their beards. Five if i include myself...im the same age as wade...😂
I'm only a few years younger than Wade and the greys are coming in as well... but we're still young studds buddy!
Yeah man same holy shit lol.
Haha I feel ya man. Becoming Clooney day by day.
old crows outside, young cardinals at heart. "we are not the kids we used to be"
I took my 8 year old son to see his favourite band last summer at the Calgary stampede. Alexis on fire was all he could scream through tears on my shoulders while they walked out on stage. Then he sang every word he knows so loud he lost his voice for the next few days. Proud father moment getting to share with him what I grew up on.
That's what it's all about dude.
He will ALWAYS remember you took him to that.trust me
Based win posting here. Keep being an ace dad, he will remember it!
That was such a good show.
My grandma took my brother and I to see Metallica when I was 13, and that memory is still burnt into me. Dope dad move right there 🤘🏼
Good point by Dallas. These days, you don't need to release an album. You can release songs whenever you want, at your own pace. What amazing freedom.
It’s a shame, albums mean so much to me. I remember buying vinyls and just being in awe of the cover. Analysing every small detail. Individual songs are the ingredients but the album is the dish.
ben fleming honestly same, i like having something to pop into my truck or slam my turntable needle on while admiring the detail of the cover and the contents of that’s inside. nothing beats that
yeah now thats changing.
These songs have remained in my life since middle school. I'm 30 now and still listen to them on a daily basis. There is and never will be anything like it.
I was 18 when they relied their first CD. 36 today. These guys have made a daily impact on my everyday life. I know exactly where you’re coming from!!
Alexis age like wine, I swear. They sound better and tighter, they're wiser, they're funnier and they're all damn attractive too.
George, mad respect to you and the risks you take in service as a firefighter, truly!!!
Such a great interview Strombo, you're a beauty. Also big thanks for bringing these guys to all of us through Much Music. They changed my life.
George always asks the best questions. Top class interviewer.
Somehow never heard Wade talk before but his voice is hilarious, like a mix between Jonah Hill and Matty Matheson had a cigarette baby
totally Matty, I thought the same!
This is the band that saved the whole music experience for me. They make music that perfectly fits me, no other artist ever fit me so good. Thank you guys!
yup, you were right, this brought me a lot of joy. Only band ever.
Hear, hear!
This was unreal. Great stuff Strombo
Fantastic interview. This made me feel like the boys are back shooting the shit after a punk show at the Burlington Music Centre in the early 2000s
Thanks for all the great music AOF
Really happy to see this!!! Alexisonfire is not a band....there's so much talent in all of these guys that they actually became a supergroup ( and much better that a lot of these so called "supergroups"). And I'll never forget that concert in São Paulo. NEVER!!!!
I didn't know they been touring in Brazil... When was it? What cities besides Sao Paulo?
@@edurockforever Only in São Paulo....at the Farewell Tour in December 2012
@@glivdesign massa demais! Um dos guitarristas até disse numa entrevista que estava no Starbucks do aeroporto de SP e confundiram ele com o Adam Levinie e deram café de graça pra ele! hahaha
I think it's the first time we see Steele talk as much lol
Love these guys so so much!
I've been blessed in that I have seen them 2 times in the last couple years since they started touring again. I've been to alot of shows and genres. This band live is incredible and the most talented underrated band ever. They are amazing I cried after I saw them live because I didnt want it to be over and I grew up singing the songs with my friends in parking lots. They are amazing and live there are no words. Thank you so much for the music and thank you for giving me the 2 closest things to a religious or out of body experience I will ever have. I love you
5 mins into this interview and I am so glad to see these guys back together like this!! I'm clinging to the hope that at some point they say they are making another EP or LP.
31 mins left, fingers crossed x
This would have to be the first 30 min interview I have watched all of. Great work #theonlybandever will always have the warmest place in my heart for you guys ♥️
And they’re blessing us with new full length album after all, beyond stoked boys!
The green lighting in the studio setting, really works. It's good.
After this EPIC get together of this legendary band and Strombo,Stromboli, lighting is what you were excited about??!! 😆
@@Slevinlobell I'm mostly into Justin Bieber and Nickelback, so I get really excited for anything to do with lights or shiny things.
@@nambypamby2147 lmao..well played..well played..🙂
Agreed, No Transitory getting featured on a big shiny tunes album was a big deal for how heavy they were at the time
So good watching this now, after the new album and after I saw them in Southampton and it was everything and more. Very few bands come back with the same vibe but even better 🤘🖤
Same here dude, I was in Cardiff and Southampton. Fell in love with them all over again
Thanks soooooooo much you guys!!!! The band and Strombo thanks so much! You guys and the music all mean so much to a lot of people and this means a lot having shows to see and new music to listen to interviews to watch. Thanks pals! 🖤
so great to see em back
I"m so glad they are back, I hope they know that they never had to leave. As a fan I'm super okay with taking a break and refreshing your mind and soul but they never had to quit like they did, take your time guys life is long and everyone is cool with the process. Good old Canadian guys
Loved this!
So glad the lads are getting back into it!
Great interview with these guys and having George interveiw them made it so much better.
stormbo is such a good interviewer !
Sound amazing!
Damn I just stumbled upon the actual show then this interview....had no idea the guys were back together. Probably my favorite live show I've found on TH-cam, easily top 5 all time favorites.
So excited for the show in Boston.
Amazing interview, loved this so much. I remember seeing the post on their Facebook back in 2012 about them calling it a day and my heart sank! .... So take your time guys, but when you do get on the road, get yourselves to Dublin please !!
Wow Strombo, first time watching your channel, easily one of the best interviews ive ever seen, the show ruled too keep it up!!
Makes life worth it
Justo lo que necesitaba, Alexisonfire para rato.
This is ahhhsome. Thanks fellers
Best interview ever
Yes!!!
YES!
That was just the best.
Wow, these guys are so articulate and intellectual. Much love AOF!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I still remember these guys on Much Music!
You guys saved my life. ❤
Fire!
How does this only have 26K views....
Now mid Oct 2023 and not even 67,000 views.... just criminal
great interview bro
3 years later....
Yeah, our favorite band together again, waiting you in rUUSSIA, please!
That would be a great day! I hope peace comes and Alexisonfire visits Russia!
memories ~
Family!
Steele sounds like a hockey player with CTE.
OMFG I WAS JUST THINKING THAT.... AND THEN I SAW THIS COMMENT
I don’t think he does.
These dudes blew me away in st catherines all other hard rock before seem weak good work fk heavy
It's true I love City and Color. You can't help who you love. Even when that love hurts.
My boys!
'Promises to never let you down again' Even if joking I wish they keep this one haha
Also, this is so Canadian it might as well be Gordie Howe chattin’ with Gretzky
What I like to see. As a fan, you guys work together. Back when it started that brother hood wasn't captured. You were well spaced on stage everyone doing their own thing. You would work for the show independent. You all loved doing it. Then after seeing the show at Copps How you all were doing something together on stage as a team. I was like wow. Why did they end it.
Now I see everyone isn't afraid to talk, and show that here. In studio for an interview and everyone has a say together. Which is Awesome! That is Alexisonfire and to see you guys all recognize it and understand that work towards a mutual agreement. All 5 people have to say yes. This is next album stuff the life line for the whole band and I am excited because I feel the next albums songs will evolve from each of those lessons. Which is epic and I am excited to hear it. Cause I have a good feeling. It will keep the core values of the band ip, but be that album that everyone can relate to OG fans new fans and yes fans like me you picked up in between.
Which is nice when that album comes and just pick away at it with no contract and honestly. It good thing for music because you can choose to sell a list of songs as a whole album to be pressed and released if you go that way.
HOLY SHIT!!!
Tommy and the Commies!
Sudz, budz!
THE TUBESTEAKS
KYUSS!
Great fuckin interview Strombo
'Like'
Get protest the hero on please!!!!!!
Wade has that steve-o rasp
Agnostic front oh ya
When he asks how the muse gives up the songs some musicians just take that shit
16:50 - Was that a Pump Up the Volume reference?
Colin A yes
Lol @13:50
What was Steele off doing? I can’t understand what George asked him at 23:20
He's a barber. look up his instagram @vortexmoneymaker
I think he said sojourn? Honestly super hard to hear him. And yes he is a barber as well so maybe he was travelling and cutting hair?
This band should be called the used lumberjack condoms!!
I don’t think George ever sleeps, look at his eyes. Great host and interviewer though don’t get me wrong.
Plenty of Greeks with those eyes, sleep or not. Genetic defect
What happened to Wade!? He looks really rough....looks like he's ready to keel over. Is he okay? I hope so.
Drugs and cigarettes happened lol. Well it's easy to just say "drugs" but I mean it's probably not a far off assumption. He does *sound* rough more than looking it, although I guess he looks a bit rough too, not quite ready to keel over as you put it haha but to me he looks and sounds like he's spent the last 15 years of his life partying and playing music, doing drugs and smoking too much. Also let's not forget this guy is the lead vocalist for a hardcore band i'm pretty sure and also the singer for another punk band i wanna say, on top of AOF again now, so that's probably a major reason for the marked hoarseness of his voice.
@@MaddestMousse He has the perfect scratchiness to his voice and sounds great and his looks are that of a musician who doesn't fit the norm of what society expects or thinks. He dresses and looks like himself and as he should. He has tattoos and looks punk. Not sure how that classifies the assumption, "he's on drugs!" Unbelievable for you to be judgemental against him. This is 2019 after all.
Willow Beere Kuklinski
If he was "on drugs", he wouldnt be in a band right now...trust me. His mates would of put his ass in rehab. These guys clearly love each other
@@johnnyscifiGood reply. I apologize for spazing out on you. I just love them so much that any I will have their back no matter what😊
Willow Beere Kuklinski
You didnt really spazz at me, and i see you must also be canadian...;)
Sall good
12:13 what is that name of the band Dallas wishes he sounded like?
Kyuss, it was the band josh homme of queens of the stone age initially gained success in. Kyuss are great
Strombo looks... different
Like the band name my daughters name is Elixus but no I mean at her pronounces her name and I think o only meet one person who didn't know me out my tribe pronounced my last name well my given catholic or Christian last name my original name I don't think I can remember how to pronounced it
When did Adam Levine join AOF?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
28:50 I'm not sure what he's talking about when he jokes about Alexisonfire going to Coachella so that there can be a rock band there, since there are rock bands there. True, there aren't many, but they are there.
What movie was Wade in?
Wasn't in a movie, but he did score it. which usually includes pre-existing music, dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental, or choral pieces called cues, which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the moive.
What the album it is Strombo shows to guys at 25:55
nekogda bazarit' Math Sheets Demo
@@crhayes thanks a lot!
I'd love to meet this familiar Muse. ...Yes I agree with you cause POSERS can look rediculous. I was once made out to look like an idiot poser. I'm sure his little trolling ways will find this comment too. I feel like Ally from a "Star is born". I don't play my original songs for anyone. Cause when I tried? I started off and then it all went south very fck fast. OMG!? What just happen? Worst experience of my life. But I learned a very valuable lesson too. I want to thank George. S. and Dallas. G for the twitter acknowledgement. I was at the Apple store when I realized this. Many frustrations have come and gone due to computer and lack of understanding on how they work. I'm wondering if I'd be welcomed to subscribe here after the fact? I'll come back if i feel I am. No more BS. I have respect, I'll use it.
The drummer looks like zacky V from A7X is it just me?
He looks like he ate a firefighter.........
damn, george really let himself go
? who gives ?
I wouldn't say that. He chubbed up a bit, but whatever. He sounds more solid than ever.
But yeah, who gives a shit?
Sarcasm...hes ripped bro
You cant be a fat firefighter...
Which George are we talking about here haha.
Who tf cares? He’s still OUR George.
blah blah blah....
lol "We could finally write this song" is such a boring cliche to say about a song that is honestly pretty basic. the dynamics in this interview are weird af
conservative time in music? god damn these dudes are disconnected
@@billmassy This interview made me smile through the whole thing and gave me a feeling of a family member or best friend coming to visit or a warmth in my heart I just can't explain. The interview felt 100% natural and genuine to me and everyone who knows AOF. If you don't like them or believe them then go listen to the radio or something.
when i mentioned dynamics, i didn't mean between the band members. i meant the dynamics of the way the band is collectively describing themselves. it seemed like a lot of justification that, to me, is unnecessary. that's why the conservative time in music thing was so off. it seemed like they were trying to create a narrative that doesn't exist in order to justify their new song's release. i think it might just be a growing pain in the lifespan of a career band. there isn't a clearly laid path for a band like themselves. at the time of their release, they were certainly weird as hell compared to what was going on in Canada at the time. but, the case is that in 2019, screaming in rock music is pretty well accepted, it is in hip-hop that we are seeing the most weirdest on a major level.
'it seemed like they were trying to create a narrative that doesn't exist in order to justify their new song's release.' So youre saying that theyre being dishonest? You're the one who's off.
