It seems I always find myself back here after someone dies. This is just one of those incredibly human, vulnerable and transcendent performances that deserves to be played at funerals, I guess.
You know, most bands arrange themselves front to back so the audience can literally see who is supposedly the most important, and so the people at the front can see and sing/play to the crowd. ASMZ arrange themselves in a semicircle, like a bluegrass band, so they can see and sing to each other. (Also, goddamn, what a song, what a performance, what a recording.)
It makes you realise the possibilities of art - and it just highlights the utter dross that we're often fed. F*****ng beautiful. God bless the mt zion.
I was lucky enough to hear this song live, played by them, and I can tell you I wanted to hit the wall with my bare head with all my strenght. It was too powerfull for a human being.
the difference in their singing between the album and the live version is incredible. I would love to see them live. I hope they release that new album that is rumored to be bouncing around.
I was waiting for over a year for 13 blues to come out, with "1,000,000 died to make this sound" running through my head on a daily basis the entire time after seeing them perform it at the Empty Bottle.
@FugaziCharon I think if you give 13 Blues (not sure how you feel about that one) and Kollapse a little more time, they will grow on you. I admit that with 13 Blues I was at first a bit put off by the general abrasive nature of the record until the last tune, (which was at first my favourite) but now, having listened a bit more thoroughly, I can safely say that the titular song on that record is among my top five ASMZ songs, at least, possibly top 3. All I am saying is give 13 Blues a chance.
@FugaziCharon Is there not reason to be angry? Don't get me wrong, as far as re-listening value goes, "Born Into Trouble...", for me, has their other records beat. But I could listen to many of their more recent albums and specific songs endlessly. But unlike many they speak with their music and I have yet to hear a song by ASMZ in which the music itself, the tone of the song, does not match the intent. If I might ask, how many listens have given "Horses In The Sky" and "KT"?
Nearly 15 years later this song still brings me to tears. When the world is sick can’t no one be well.
Same - so god damn relevant right now, and it used to make me cry 12 years ago! Sheesh
still makes me cry. especially the "lost a friend to..." lines

is it just me or is there something so moving about a stage full of people singing at the top of their voices?

I think im starting to prefer ASMZ over GYBE.... that ending where they all sing together is so intense and beautiful.... goosebumps

F*****ng beautiful.
God bless the mt zion.
Wow.. I've heard this song dozens of times and that ending never fails to give me goosebumps and make me cry

lmao that's a bit of an odd reaction but you do you
This half of the song is my favorite.
Thank you very much for a high quality upload from this great band.
i bow down to this
These guys make magic.

when the world is sick can someone be well but i dreamt we were beautiful and strong!
I am the other way around. I liked this album more than 13 blues. But I will admit after repeated listens it is starting to grow on me.
una de las mejores bandas con ese talento deben tener mucha consideracion
epic.
@fusion1224 Isn't just freaking amazing? There is nothing else like this.
Efrim Menuck's voice remeber me Roger Waters from The Wall...

the audience doesn't sing along with the final ?
everyone has their own opinion :)
@zissuntetnah It is bold. Why can't it be both?...
I'm number 2088, fear not my friend. Only 6 billion more views to go to pass Fallout Boy.
Where do we go from here?

¨God bless our dead marines¨ is not a bold statement, it's just an ironic statement..
Any chance of uploading the full show as Eattapes doesn't seem to be coming back...
Why no piano?
whats wrong with teddy?
I didn't care much for this album, thirteen blues is a much better release. I just hate teddy Roosevelt's guns.
Nah
