I cried every time i heard tim's wicked scream and josh's angelic high pitched voice together at 3:22 its just to powerful man, This is real music METALCORE FOREVER🤘🏼🖤
People keep telling me this isn't music.. That there's no quality to this music.. You fucking tell me why several people playing intricate music, drummer beating drums 5 times a second, singers singing with all the passion he can, and guitarists playing complexity with their fingers, isn't fucking music... These people don't even listen to the lyrics, or take into consideration the amount of effort and technicality that goes into Metal.. No music can make me cry like Metal, it's so passionate and expressive. As someone who's shy and afraid to use his voice, it makes this kind of music so much more powerful. It's music, not only music, but fucking amazing music. Please come back AILD..
@@anon8510 the band has been quiet on nick's departure and they didnt say whats the reason but I think its because nick is not having a good time with tim you know because of the tragedy tim did
This probably won't make it to the one who wrote this song. But it's 12 years after it's release and I still listen too it. The original meaning behind this song is incredible. However I took it in a different light. My brother, a man of many evil deeds and who is behind bars for life for 2 counts of sexual assault towards a minor ruined everything about my childhood. Everywhere we moved too it was always the same story from teachers, from other kids, from other parents, from other people in general. "Oh, you're related to him". After that I'd get treated as though I was an outcast, a huge piece of shit in general when I've done nothing wrong my whole life. I just took it... I stayed in the shadow of a villain for many a year growing up. Upon this songs release where days when he would beat me senseless just because I existed. He was a few years older then me and had already been too juvi a few times so he was bigger and I was his punching bag. But this song honestly helped me emotionally through all of it. We are not the same as I hope to show. There is a better way, just let go. For a long time I lived by that.. and it's a simple string of words but too me, they heald more power than any other song I have ever listened too. I no longer have too as life has finally brought me to a place I want too be. I love each and every one of you for this, as I'm still here. A proud USMC vet. A proud husband who found love in the strangest of places and bless my wife for all her love and support. Don't ever stop doing what you do and keep the jam alive. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love your story of your bravery and perseverance. You’re tough as nails man. I’m legitimately crying after reading this. AILD really knows how to pull on your heartstrings. Metalcore in general is a catharsis for a lot of people. Killswitch’s Arms of Sorrow helped me cope and control my Asperger’s syndrome and helped me get off meds. I hope more people hear your story. God bless you, brother and thank you for your service. Hooah! 💪⚔️🇺🇸🔥
I feel a lot of metal songs have more meaning to life the any "normal" person would understand. Us metal fans I feel have more of an understanding the most people cause we listen to the lyrics & not just hear screaming. Metal saves lives not destroys them.
Craigh Band The best metalcore song will always belong to Parkway Drive. For obvious reasons. And if you ask me which one in particular I can't tell you, there's just so many of them..
Ak1x3r I have to disagree on that bro. Althought I love Parkway Drive too and their amazing breakdowns and guitar riffs and lyrics I would say AILD was on another level. Their music is way more rich, complex and has more layers in it. Almost every aspect feels superior to me (drums and guitars specially). But this is still a matter of opinion so everyone for themselves! Still two amazing bands, shame we won't be hearing nothing more of AILD though.
anything nick hipa writes on guitar is absolute gold. has to be one of the most gifted guitarists that walk the planet. may not have the overall greatest playing skills like zack wylde and all those other guys but everything he creates is amazing, especially his solos.
Hate to be that old "in my day" guy but so much of contemporary metalcore is so fucking repetitive & samey. If you put on those videos of ppl (fans or non fans) reacting to contemporary metalcore bands, like 7 out of 10 of the bands/songs will be doing the same riff patterns and the same kinda breakdowns, and the only time you get something "unique" is when the singer launches into some radio rock or R&B/pop style clean vocal section that could fit comfortably alongside a Drake feature--or worse, more mainstream stuff where suddenly you're in the middle of the most basic Linkin Park ripoff except it's set to a trap beat. It's not just that I'm getting older and "dont get it"--I get it perfectly well, I'm more open to more styles the older I get--it's that so much of it is not actually unique or original; people are repeating what they hear without adding anything actually new to it, and often when they add something to it they're drawing from outside of rock/metal, and not from heavier or more challening genres but straight from the billboard top 10. Props to the young metal musicians today who are going deeper into old school hardcore or death metal, who are adding symphonic or progressive or black metal or groove metal elements, who are pushing the extremes of vocal performances and technical drumming & riffing, who are creating their own sound within such a creatively stifled environment where all the kids just wanna hear "djent" or "the heaviest" or the most breakdowns, or the only time they want a melody is when its sung like an autotuned pop singer, or a white guy starts rapping over the laziest trap beat ever made--bc that shit is not the future of metal music, it's stagnation.
AILD were and always have been Tim and Jordan.From the start,the line up changed a couple of times but Tim and Jordan have always been there.AILD will continue I'm sure of it.

Despite Tim's past, AILD and their new work has been amazing. I really think this band is sending a positive message. About 10 years ago when I heard them, I remember saying "Dang this is a cool band" something I still hold onto. Cheers.

Revisiting in 2023, this is my pick for the best song of the late 2000s - early 2010s metalcore era and it might be, quite frankly, one of the best metal songs ever made, period.
you have to agree these guys are one of the few metal bands that consistently give good music. Everytime they come up with a new song it turns out to be amazing. Man they deserve the top spot and a hell lot more attention.
All time favorite band is all that remains, just heard my first song by these guys last night but I think they might have a place on my list pretty soon
People forget how good this album was following up their number 1 all time. 2005-10 was AILD’s golden age. Josh Gilbert couldn’t have been a better successor to Clint Norris. The transition from the bands originally sound of massive volume changes and choruses that would be sung from once (94 hours) to up to five or six times and his contrast of a consistent note pattern and volume to Josh’s more traditional three chorus formula that required some more inflections in the clean singing… man. The transition they made was a masterpiece.
Those who study music and lyrics as a whole know the secrets of the art... Lyrics are phisical and emotional reflections of life written in words... lifes emotional form is a spectrum between love and hate and the consequences and reaction to those emotions... this is called spiritual life... music is a reflection of someones inner self... so if this is soooo terible to listen to... let me ask you one thing... is the artist depicting a negitive experiance... yes... why? because the artist sees a world that is unjust and is in anguish because it is so... there should be no shame to this anguish exept that we must learn from our mistakes of hurting one another... metalcore as a whole is a symbol of insinuation that love is all we need in life.... pop music is a symbol of indulging in life without a care of what your actions do to those around you... metalcore is the good guys because in reality its really hard core folk music that teaches us lessons... pop music just dumbs us down with the most evil word on the plannet... fun... count how many times the word fun has fucked up your life... maybe life should be taken a little more seriously... recreation is not evil... fun is...
Maybe you need to examine your definition of fun. Maybe it is what you used to call fun,wasn't fun at all. I guess I relate to what you are saying. I am 53 now, and old man, but back in my youth I was wilder and of course I made mistakes, stepped on peoples toes, did some thoughtless shit, and ended up regretting it. The school of hard knocks. But hey, can't dwell on what I did. All we need to do is look at those situations honestly, try to figure out our part in it and what we could have done to prevent it.. You see I can still have fun, it just has a different meaning.
couldnt agree more about what distinguishes our music from pop, the vast majority of them are idiots while the smartest people I know are metalheads because metal is the most complex genre of music, making it the thinkers music. Hands down most metal genres especially metalcore and post hardcore boast some of in my opinion the best lyricists ever. its refreshing to hear from someone with such a heightened level of comprehension in regards to whats entering their ears. we are kindred spirits my friend...
I remember when I first started listening to this band, man I love As I Lay Dying. Hopefully when Tim Lambesis gets out of jail, they'll get back together. Long Live As I Lay Dying! BeST Metalcore Band NA
Eddie Beck, they won't get back together. the band hates Tim's guts, the rest of the band found a new lead singer and changed the name of the band. type in Google as I lay dying and go in the news section
They would never take him back. They've lost all respect for Tim and they would lose all respect as a band if they let him back in and formed back up. Tim's days as a musician are over.
RCG I agree. Tim is a good guy, but he let his rage get the best of him and the band knew that it was time to let go of him and move on. he's done, and that's that
AILD is done, they won't be getting back together.. one unique band down the drain, i think they could have continued on with AILD just find a new singer, it's becoming the norm in the metal world. Look at Arch Enemy, they've been through 3 different singers.
Tim lost his way in a moment of his life, but at least he HAD a way to begin with, and now he is back on it, better than those poor souls that never had any way whatsoever.
i don't care what he did. that was his life, this is my favorite band time and time again i find myself coming back to these videos. i will wait for tim.

We are all comatose
We are overfed and under, undernourished, yearning for something more
Never starving yet never quite satisfied
Carnal but without useful flesh or mind
I am a walking contradiction that's found consistency
Consuming everything, all without producing sustenance
In the parallels we struggle, struggle to upkeep
There is a better way for us to be set free
From all it is we crave, there must be more to life than to simply stay alive
To simply stay alive
We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same
Let go
In the tension between devouring want or simple need
It's clear the only lines between the ones we preserve
We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same
Let go
We are not the same
And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There's a better way for us to be, for us to be set free
And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There's a better way for us to be, for us to be set free
We are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same
Let go
We are not the same

I couldn't have said it better myself!! Probably one of the best comments I've ever come across representing and defending metal.
Contrary to popular belief, metal is truthfully music.
your wish is my command
PREACH
This beautifull song carries so much more meaning when you listen to what they say and play together, the emotion is real and so is this lyrics...
It's like with all their songs they're crazy good crafters
With each song, I feel more passionate about As I Lay Dying.
My Song 🖤

Same as you!!
This is pure legatto
Riff guitar this anime openning
Nick is a killer guitar player. Great solo!
Tim is my friend in the best
King of metalcore band
for sure a hundred percent
Hell yeah. These guys and Killswitch engage
The intro and buildup is amazing. That breakdown riff in the beginning is absolutely epic. I listen to this one nearly every day.
Thanks, Guitar World magazine. Me and my buddy learned this song, and I swear we’d just jam this fucking intro over and over. It just works.
Nick Hipa is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. This riff and solo is epic.

all miss this great band x´C
Today they've changed their profile photo on facebook ☺
austrian death machine does too

you will always be missed as i lay dying. you will go down as one of the best metalcore bands in history.
Really not convinced theyre dead yet, Tim should be out in 4-5 years
Yeah, but all other members except the drummer have left the band and I kind of doubt they will rejoin when he gets out. Hopefully I'm wrong
i mean, nick and the rest except the drummer said they wont go back. idk wovenwar is total shit so hopefully tim can convince them.

The vocalist tried to hire a hitman on his wife and got sentenced to 6 years in jail
Guy must have been a fan of the deep web.
We are all comatose
We are overfed and
Under undernourished, yearning for something more
Never starving yet
Never quite satisfied
Carnal but without useful flesh or mind.
Yeah…
I am a walking contradiction
That's found consistency
Consuming everything
All without producing sustenance
In the parallels we struggle
Struggle to upkeep
There is a better way for us to be set free
From all it is we crave
There must be more to life
Than to simply stay alive…
To simply stay alive
We are not the same
As I hope to show
There is a better way
If we just let go
We are not…
We are not the same
We are not…
We are not the same
Let go…
In the tension between devouring want or simple need
It's clear the only lines between the ones we preserve
We are not the same
As I hope to show
There is a better way
If we just let go
We are not…
We are not the same
We are not…
We are not the same
Let go…
We are not the same
And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There's a better way for us to be… for us to be set free
And in the parallels (parallels)
We struggle to upkeep (struggle to upkeep)
There's a better way for us to be… for us to be set free
We are not the same
As I hope to show
There is a better way
If we just let go
We are not…
We are not the same
We are not…
We are not the same
Let go…
we are not the same
We are all comatose. We are overfed and under...undernourished, yearning for something more.
Never starving yet never quite satisfied. Carnal but without useful flesh or mind. Yeah...

Despite Tim's past, AILD and their new work has been amazing. I really think this band is sending a positive message. About 10 years ago when I heard them, I remember saying "Dang this is a cool band" something I still hold onto. Cheers.
I got goosebumps at the guitar solo!
I love AILD 😊
0:48 "I am a Wookiee, trying to get you"
OMG XD I HEAR IT!
ahaha xD
The bassist's voice
OMG its amazing
why why !! thats all what im gonna hear now
I always heard, I'm a wookie on the deathstar
This music video never fails to give me goosebumps. And its crazy how true the lyrics ring so true.

Best riff writing metalcore band in existence
Time flies, i remember listening to this in 2012, i was 14 years old and i simply loved this song, good times...
From one drummer to another....i love playin' this song!!!!!
This band was my life when I was 16 (2012) ahhhh, what great memories :3
That chorus is legendary
Still listening to this in 2018.
Carlos Gonzalez Welcome to the Club!
Yup 2019, nothing better than this along with a cup of coffee to get you up in the morning lol!
Greatest band to ever live I would not be the guitarist or have the success I have without u guys
Muchísimas gracias por producir esta canción. Thank y’all so much for producing and publishing this song, totally have been always stimulated by these sounds. Forever grateful for y’all, y’all will possibly my favorite band ever. Please continue with your fast, stimulating, and captivating sounds that always make me feel better. Totally have been listening to your music for about 15 years now.
Jordan has got to be one of the best drummers I've heard in metal. The man is an absolute beast!
He is the sickest!
The epic "Feel" element from the 2:40 section - those typical AILD signatures since the Beneath the Encasing of Ashes album
One hell of a masterpiece still listening

That double bass is so brutal!!! I love it
Esta rola es mi favorita de esta banda no me canso de escucharla....
It's 2024 and it's still a masterpiece! It never goes out of style.
one of my favorite songs of all time shit has it all.
miss this band
GOD DAMN THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OF A SONG
Revisiting in 2023, this is my pick for the best song of the late 2000s - early 2010s metalcore era and it might be, quite frankly, one of the best metal songs ever made, period.
Can't wait for the new stuff to be released!
you have to agree these guys are one of the few metal bands that consistently give good music. Everytime they come up with a new song it turns out to be amazing. Man they deserve the top spot and a hell lot more attention.
They’re back baby and did not miss a beat!!!! AILD FOREVER!!!!
Friday buying tickets for the show in Nashville April 4th! All believers in Christ let’s continue to pray over tim
Sucks about all the things that went down with Tim such a great song writer. One of my favorite songs!
;
+Hunter Craig I am new to this band. What went down with Tim? Also, fuck that other guy, whatever it is he said.
+LuKazu jail for murder for hire
+LuKazu Dumbass hired an undercover cop to murder his wife.
+Hunter Craig Agreed, dude. Could have possibly been the fucking best band. People make dumbass mistakes.
Best metalcore song in my opinion
All time favorite band is all that remains, just heard my first song by these guys last night but I think they might have a place on my list pretty soon
honestly the solo close to the end where it changes tempo and turns into a different sounding solo is my favorite part of this song
just how he keeps it slow, climbs the scale, takes it back slow then goes into an even better scale climb, awesome
THEY ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People forget how good this album was following up their number 1 all time. 2005-10 was AILD’s golden age. Josh Gilbert couldn’t have been a better successor to Clint Norris. The transition from the bands originally sound of massive volume changes and choruses that would be sung from once (94 hours) to up to five or six times and his contrast of a consistent note pattern and volume to Josh’s more traditional three chorus formula that required some more inflections in the clean singing… man. The transition they made was a masterpiece.
Those who study music and lyrics as a whole know the secrets of the art... Lyrics are phisical and emotional reflections of life written in words... lifes emotional form is a spectrum between love and hate and the consequences and reaction to those emotions... this is called spiritual life... music is a reflection of someones inner self... so if this is soooo terible to listen to... let me ask you one thing... is the artist depicting a negitive experiance... yes... why? because the artist sees a world that is unjust and is in anguish because it is so... there should be no shame to this anguish exept that we must learn from our mistakes of hurting one another... metalcore as a whole is a symbol of insinuation that love is all we need in life.... pop music is a symbol of indulging in life without a care of what your actions do to those around you... metalcore is the good guys because in reality its really hard core folk music that teaches us lessons... pop music just dumbs us down with the most evil word on the plannet... fun... count how many times the word fun has fucked up your life... maybe life should be taken a little more seriously... recreation is not evil... fun is...
Its true my friend.
I have the same thoughts as you :)
Well said.
Maybe you need to examine your definition of fun. Maybe it is what you used to call fun,wasn't fun at all. I guess I relate to what you are saying. I am 53 now, and old man, but back in my youth I was wilder and of course I made mistakes, stepped on peoples toes, did some thoughtless shit, and ended up regretting it.
The school of hard knocks.
But hey, can't dwell on what I did. All we need to do is look at those situations honestly, try to figure out our part in it and what we could have done to prevent it..
You see I can still have fun, it just has a different meaning.
couldnt agree more about what distinguishes our music from pop, the vast majority of them are idiots while the smartest people I know are metalheads because metal is the most complex genre of music, making it the thinkers music. Hands down most metal genres especially metalcore and post hardcore boast some of in my opinion the best lyricists ever. its refreshing to hear from someone with such a heightened level of comprehension in regards to whats entering their ears. we are kindred spirits my friend...
イントロからテンション上がる狂気の一曲！
このバンドのカッコよさが詰まってる。
Minha musica preferida manow
I remember when I first started listening to this band, man I love As I Lay Dying. Hopefully when Tim Lambesis gets out of jail, they'll get back together. Long Live As I Lay Dying! BeST Metalcore Band NA
Ahem, KSE.
Eddie Beck, they won't get back together. the band hates Tim's guts, the rest of the band found a new lead singer and changed the name of the band. type in Google as I lay dying and go in the news section
They would never take him back. They've lost all respect for Tim and they would lose all respect as a band if they let him back in and formed back up. Tim's days as a musician are over.
RCG I agree. Tim is a good guy, but he let his rage get the best of him and the band knew that it was time to let go of him and move on. he's done, and that's that
AILD is done, they won't be getting back together.. one unique band down the drain, i think they could have continued on with AILD just find a new singer, it's becoming the norm in the metal world. Look at Arch Enemy, they've been through 3 different singers.
This song is 1 of the deepest mark of metalcore history
Even if you don't like metal, you have to admit that this is art at its best.
2017 still my favorite band. It will always rock in our hearts \m/
Need new album as soon as possible
Tim lost his way in a moment of his life, but at least he HAD a way to begin with, and now he is back on it, better than those poor souls that never had any way whatsoever.
Extreme talent guitars drumming and singing for JESUS christ GOD Almighty. AMEN
they arent christian on this age....
They're back boys and girls!!! Let's go!!!!
Luke Arnold FUCK YES!!
🤘🤙🤘🤙🤘
SO FUCKING HYPED!!
Best song they ever did!
Great music! I just fukin love it!
i don't care what he did. that was his life, this is my favorite band time and time again i find myself coming back to these videos. i will wait for tim.
Luckily for you they just released a teaser for a new song bro! Looks like the original lineup as well! FUcking hypppeee!!!!
2019 still my most favorite band
Magnificent.. ❤
PerfectceII OH NO it will surely affect their music drastically -_-
tbh the fans shouldn't care what religion they are
Mark Jackson exactly what I'm saying. people need to stop focusing on the personal lives of the artists they like and just focus on the art.
PerfectceII BTW, only a bitch would say the shit you just said.
PerfectceII As long they're cool to their fans in person and what not, who cares about their religious views... not all of them changed views.
They are One of the best Metalcore bands...i still can't understand why they are so underrated....
AILD have never been underrated, people call them the kings of metalcore all the time lmao
Stop asking who's still listening, we never stop listening.
