I’m technically here because of the intro, but not this one. One of my favorite bands Desolate made a song with the intro being a tribute to this one and saw a bunch of comments about that. So yee
When I was 16 (I'm 33 now), I went to Toronto all by myself to see Alexisonfire and Moneen play together and when I got there it was sold out. I remember seeing the band outside the side doors and told them my story and they got me on the guest list. You guys made 16 yo me the happiest boy ever.
Bro, I did the exact same thing except not by myself. I'm originally from Michigan and me and 2 friends crossed the border into Ontario when we were about 16 (I'm 33) to see Alexisonfire and Moneen who were 2 of my absolute favorite bands back then. It was such a great experience. Back when you didn't need a passport to hop into Canada.
I remember I was so obsessed with this song and George’s vocals that I even got a yellow tshirt like his and I’d cover this song in the studio with friends. Fantastic times.
I played this song as part of a midterm in high school. We had this new type of music class where it wasn't like traditional big band trumpets and trombones and shit, but guitar, bass and drums. You picked two songs to learn which would be your midterm and final exam. Every person got to pick two then pick the people to be in the band to perform it. The whole semester was just learning individual parts and then practicing with the band for the performance. It was so awesome. I was (and still am) in love with Alexis at the time I picked this song even though it was extremely ambitious for the vocal parts lol. Like who the hell can scream like George as a 16-17 year old? We had a chick sing Dallas' part which was pretty solid, but George's part kind of bombed. No worries. It was a 7pm show in the high school cafeteria. Like 150 people showed up for this thing because it's literally a live concert of modern music and there we were. Playing this song in front of our peers pouring our hearts into it. Wasn't even a grade at that point, it was an opportunity to play music in front of people. Was such a blast. I'll never forget that.
I remember playing this cd on my old pc running windows XP and you had the option to watch these music videos. That shit blew my mind at the time! I was like whoa dude the future and stuff.
sometimes people look back at a moment in time, the music, fashion, and we are embarrassed by ourselves. Here, We looked so cool, i am so proud to have been around then.
I listen to all kinds of different music. And I wouldn’t even consider Alexisonfires sound as one I listen to often these days. But credit where credit is due, seeing this at 11 or 12 years old led me on a path to discovering all sorts of artists, genres etc. game changer. Had never seen anything quite like it on TV at the time
Loved going to hang out at Blockbuster on Lake street in St. Catharines to see my good buddy Chris Steele. Man the good old days!!! Growing up with them was such an honour to see the progression over the years!!!
I remember watching this music video's premier on Much Music 20 years ago and thinking "i don't know who that band is, but they're deadly" last night i got to see them play this song in concert and it was just as deadly as ever.
Still my fav album, when I discovered emo/hardcore thing 11 years ago after the whole emo buzz faded away, Alexisonfire were definitely my fav band in the genre
I remember 13 year old me finding Alexisonfire on station x on telethon at night with pulmonary archery and water wings.. never knew it would lead to me 28 year old me still loving this band to no bitter end.
it's called artistic anger. Anger - nothing you've never heard of. Something you fear. Something these guys are able to put into artistic beautiful music.
@@slavak592 yooo fellow countryman :) personally for me I was like 6 years late to this song, still glad I discovered it when I was that young and carefree
I saw them live 8 times, but when this album first dropped I saw them at the opera house in Toronto. During the Cancer Bats set, I stepped out for a smoke and ended up chatting with Wade for about 7 minutes. Real cool guy. Great personality. Down to earth. One of the most influential bands in my life and I'm 38. OG fan.
im 39..and damnit, the Era you describe was one of my favorites. Poison the well, unearth, glassjaw, Killswitch engage. The Reverb....ahhh. The past was such a great place.
I remember discovering this from the Much Music countdown thinking "whoa... why is Much Music playing screamo?" Still my all time favorite alexisonfire song
lol I never like music with screaming in it before Alexisonfire. I liked Deftones that screamed but it was different. I thought why do I like this song so much they ended up being one of my fav bands.
good old day. now im 33 years old with 3 kids and this song is still on my trck list even my wife hate it .. not just my wife, even my neighbour coz i plyed it so fkg loud 😂😂😂😂
remember when this came out, was sitting at home after high school watching much music .. turned the tv to max volume and rocked the fuck out.. will always be my favourite band
Here's to all us 30 something year old goin down memory lane🤘
Yes😢
31 🤯🤯🤯
32, house, wife, kid, job… I love it all. But where the fuck did the time go!
🫠
40s...
The intro is just sick love it who still jamming to this masterpiece in 2024
2024 everyday

I’m technically here because of the intro, but not this one. One of my favorite bands Desolate made a song with the intro being a tribute to this one and saw a bunch of comments about that. So yee
These guys changed the face of underground music in Canada forever.
Let's go
Nearly 20 years later and there's still nothing else like Alexisonfire.
Most true comment today. You win TH-cam today sir.
Yes
Verdade
Not one even close
Agreeded! Saw in in Ottawa last year!
When I was 16 (I'm 33 now), I went to Toronto all by myself to see Alexisonfire and Moneen play together and when I got there it was sold out. I remember seeing the band outside the side doors and told them my story and they got me on the guest list. You guys made 16 yo me the happiest boy ever.
That's so cool.
I saw them with Glassjaw last June. Easily the best show I've been to
I went to school with the guys from Moneen, I think they played a show on the school roof or recorded a video there or something...
Bro, I did the exact same thing except not by myself. I'm originally from Michigan and me and 2 friends crossed the border into Ontario when we were about 16 (I'm 33) to see Alexisonfire and Moneen who were 2 of my absolute favorite bands back then. It was such a great experience. Back when you didn't need a passport to hop into Canada.
Now that's some cool dudes. Glad you ran into them outside. I never got to see them.
15 yr old me was hyped on this then and 28 yr old me is still losing my shit screaming along.
exact same man.
And me too :D
fuck yeA ME TO DUDE
Here with you brother!
Accurately said. I miss this kind of music...
I'm not gonna lie, I wish I could go back 11 years back when I was in high school and relive all of this all over again.
+withered962 dude. absolutely. This album was life affirming for me. Came just at the right time.
thank you, perfect comment
withered962 i i wish that as well. this was my youth.💖
Forreal...
I'd give anything for one day
Alexisonfire is in their own Genre. No one does it like them.
This is one of those bands that will never be replicated, this type of sound is very specific to a time and a place
Reminds me of From Autumn to Ashes and other bands from that era that were somewhere in the neighborhood of post-hardcore and metalcore
@@mediumvillainAgree. Saw them play with FATA and boysnightout sometime in...maybe 2004? 2005?
I remember I was so obsessed with this song and George’s vocals that I even got a yellow tshirt like his and I’d cover this song in the studio with friends. Fantastic times.
Such an underrated band.

I see u homie
This CD never went 2 feet away from my dash throughout my entire high school years
Still jamming this in 2019 and loving it like it was 2000 all over again
You mean 2002, dumbass.
Same fucking love this song. I play the song once every time I go for a drive LOL
I remember playing this cd on my old pc running windows XP and you had the option to watch these music videos. That shit blew my mind at the time! I was like whoa dude the future and stuff.
Were you using winamp or realplayer?
Damn the introduction to this song still gives me chills
Yesssss!
Haunting riff
Wow!
My first time hearing this hidden Gem 💎
Yes! YES! Yes!
Wow!
❤❤❤
I remember early 2003 my friend came over to my dorm room with this video burned on a CDr ... Blew my fuckin' mind.
yup
sometimes people look back at a moment in time, the music, fashion, and we are embarrassed by ourselves. Here, We looked so cool, i am so proud to have been around then.
Cheers man. From Niagara 🇨🇦. We lived this. And never forgot it.
that makes me so happy
This song just Made me cry

Miss these guys
Loved going to hang out at Blockbuster on Lake street in St. Catharines to see my good buddy Chris Steele. Man the good old days!!! Growing up with them was such an honour to see the progression over the years!!!
Amen brother.
Haha wowwww - what was Chris like? I heard he got fired from Blockbuster because he had to film this video.
34 and still loves this song ❤❤👍🏻👍🏻
2003 to 2023,,, great memory from this song
This song brings back my memories in 2005. Old is gold
55 yrs old and still loving it
Simple but one of the best videos
Best road rage song ever.
From muchmusic rock top 5 to a multimillion dollar band. They’ve come such a long way and they deserve every single ounce of the fame they have.
I was 10 when this got released, how do I fucking remember the first time that i listen to this? Its bring so much memories.
I was 4 lol
Caramba eu tinha 16 anos kkk 😍 que saudade de não ter problema na vida e achar que tem kkkk
My early 20s right there.. now 42.. showing my kids the epicness of AOF.
32 and my favorite song makes me so full of LIFE. PEOPLE RUN AFTER YOUR PASSION AND DESTINY don't expect it to Come to you!!
ALEXISONFIRE FOREVER
2020 f**k covid 19 - 20 years later and still jamming these guys
The greatest Canadian band of all time
This gave me goosebumps. Good times.
Some of the best stage moves ever deployed by a band.
Danny Ric sent me here!!
this song hits you right in the heart
Just saw these fellas in Ottawa last night, and watching this really drives home how much they've grown and how far they've come. Unreal.
Lucky you🤘🔥
Bluesfest eh? I was there too
This is the band that got me into screaming. I remember hating it at first... and then being obsessed and buying the CD.
Same. I have to thank a soccer tournament in Canada and staying up late watching much music. Changed my life really.
same here, i used to hate music with screaming but since hearing alexisonfire's album crisis i've been playing heavy music with screaming ever since
Oh man this shit brings back memories.. what I wouldnt give to go back to those days.
Legendary
They were just babies and so was I when this came out. Almost 20 years passed in the blink of an eye.
tomorrow baby!!!! never gets old!
Again in July! Never gets old!
I love the energy they transmit
I remember this video playing on Much More Music as a kid. Good times.
i COME HERE EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE
I remember watching this music video's premier on Much Music 20 years ago and thinking "i don't know who that band is, but they're deadly" last night i got to see them play this song in concert and it was just as deadly as ever.
I saw em live at stampede and I've got to say I've never been to a concert that good ever before
2021 Octobers very own.
We in Hurr. One love. Toronto baby!
Still my fav album, when I discovered emo/hardcore thing 11 years ago after the whole emo buzz faded away, Alexisonfire were definitely my fav band in the genre
Anyone else get a good laugh at how young and hype the boys were back then? lol too good. #TheOnlyBandEver
I remember 13 year old me finding Alexisonfire on station x on telethon at night with pulmonary archery and water wings.. never knew it would lead to me 28 year old me still loving this band to no bitter end.
Their crazy energy in the video really hooked me as a kid!
Just saw them in concert last week and they were amazing. So happy to live out my dreams of seeing them live.
i still come back to this song after soo many years!
🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦
it's called artistic anger. Anger - nothing you've never heard of. Something you fear. Something these guys are able to put into artistic beautiful music.
I learned how to code html and make my own websites to download this video from their website. Fun times.
32 here, I clearly remember those days back in highschool I would go nuts listening to these guys, great times
my back hurts from listening to this gem for so long
Heard this song on muchmusic when I was 14, been an alexisonfire fan since then ❤️ I'm now 28.
When I was 12
When I was 18
I bet nobody knows what a hell is Belarus where I`m from, but when it was released this energy rolled even to us
Really ??
All the way over to Eastern Europe❓️
@@RaisedxFist exactly, if you were something like a true emo - you cannot missed it)
@@slavak592 yooo fellow countryman :) personally for me I was like 6 years late to this song, still glad I discovered it when I was that young and carefree
теперь семнадцатилетний я, в России, только что нашёл эту группу. на репите каждый день теперь)
@@dandanger5637 ровно в 17 лет я о ней и узнал, впереди еще много открытий, enjoy the ride!
I saw them live 8 times, but when this album first dropped I saw them at the opera house in Toronto. During the Cancer Bats set, I stepped out for a smoke and ended up chatting with Wade for about 7 minutes. Real cool guy. Great personality. Down to earth. One of the most influential bands in my life and I'm 38. OG fan.
im 39..and damnit, the Era you describe was one of my favorites. Poison the well, unearth, glassjaw, Killswitch engage. The Reverb....ahhh. The past was such a great place.
This was my introduction to AOF way back in the day. I've seriously listened to them everyday for the past 13 years. Good music never dies!
Will always love their first album . So good
I'm sorry but this is the most legendary thing ever.
Randomly coming across this music video while watching "The Wedge" on Much Music at 11PM is what made fall in love with Alexisonfire
Song came out 8 days after I was born I was destined to find this song
This is. And will be. Forever. My favourite song.
The only band ever.
simplest drumset on earth, greatest drumming skills on earth
Sooooo sick
omg they were just kids here...sigh have we really gotten that old..this makes me want to cry for the nostalgia of it all
It’s truly scary and heartbreaking.
Magic
I remember discovering this from the Much Music countdown thinking "whoa... why is Much Music playing screamo?"
Still my all time favorite alexisonfire song
lol I never like music with screaming in it before Alexisonfire. I liked Deftones that screamed but it was different. I thought why do I like this song so much they ended up being one of my fav bands.
same! I think its melodically done plus dallas green is one of the best male vocalists I've ever heard.
Samee
Waterwings on MM count down changed my life.
Exact same memory haha sitting in my buddies house for a sleep over watching Much and remember this coming on and being like what whoa what’s this
Omg this song was so fucking banging. And it still is so much
My dad showed us this song and now me and my siblings can't stop going nuts in the house while listening this song
It never gets old. 2023 here!
