@@gwolfe333 Knowing them and their sense of humour, I bet he was so down for this. Especially if you consider his facial expression at the end when he hits the chimes. xD
UnfortunateFreakNo1 I had the same thought. After Football season, so Marching band becomes Symphonic band for the rest of the hear and the Drumline fights who gets who gets the Tympani, snare, crash cymbal, chimes, bass drum and triangle....lololol. He must have gotten chimes or triangle....lol
Freaking Scott. That look at the end is priceless! I really respect the vulnerability it takes to do a small acoustic venue like this. Strip the band raw and they are still an absolute pleasure to listen to. Brittney's voice comes through clear and lovely. Much respect, guys! Love from Colorado, USA.
Aboriginal Chief Swain its a joke... you know cause it’s an acoustic version of a metal song and he’s the drummer. And all he does is swipe the chimes....
How you know when your drummer is legit... Doesn't do a thing the whole song and manages to steal the show at the end. Seriously, you guys should do an album of acoustic renditions.
I just love Unleash The Archers and all its musicians but, have to admit, Scott carried the whole band by himself in this presentation. He's just awesome!!!
Her vocals sound so breathy instead of connected like they should be. I feel like a lot of the warm vibe of this song comes from her really leaning into her lower register. I wonder if the breathier sound here was specifically to not overpower the guitars with her usual sound.
The only 2 vocal comparisons I have to her, are to a lesser extent, the chick from Kobra and the Lotus, and full on awesome musician, one of my favorites, Ida from Triosphere
Showed my family this and everyone cheered at the end when Scott hit the chimes. They loved the rest of it as well but I've already exposed them to quite bit of your stuff over the years. We just end up going down a TH-cam rabbithole where we each share live performances that caught our attention. You guys were my response to an acoustic Ed Sheeran vid my niece had pulled up prior.
this is a disservice of that power and feeling that is unleash the archers you all where holding back and you all are strong proud and great dont ever let something like this happen again! let your heart sing let it roar with an intensity that makes the weak shake! be who you are!!!!
I'm 5 years late to this party, but I'm absolutely blown away by the grace and restraint Brittney has in this. The vocal control to dial it back and make it sound beautiful in an entirely different way than it normally does is incredible.
OMFG that chime nailed it. NAILED IT!. I love this band and when I found out they host live D&D on Twitch I was sold. Fully sold. They are the real deal. National Canadian Treasures (and I'm not Canadian).
Theyre all soooo exhausted haha totally zombied out. The host guy wasnt kidding when he said theyd been driving all night for this. Was like a last minute go drive 10 hrs for this thing a 8am.
I feel scott. I had to play just a tom roll for a shakespeare play (Midsummernights dream), where in the whole 2 hours or so there were like 2 places where I had to chime in on the action... the rest was leaning back and enjoying the show the actors put on and watching the other musicians do their thing lol.
I wish my local news stations were this cool. Canada finds a way to give me "awesomeness envy", yet again. That concert had better damn well have sold out.
These guys were the Highlight of the weekend at last Summers Guitars Under The Stars Festival in Oregon!!! Talked to people from at least 11 different states that came out for that show.
It's awesome how she could bring another dimension of her voice. Whoever have first contact with UtA with this can't imagine how powerful her voice is.
Wow Brittney, amazing control. I was pretty bummed when Nikko left but it's great to see you guys back on the road. I'm looking forward to hearing what the future has in store for The Matriarch and The Immortal ;)
Aw Nikko left? I thought that guy looked different... Nikko was phenomenal. But if that's what was best for him, c'est la vie. I'm curious to see the new guy in action.
@@Red-Brick-Dream Yes, a while ago unfortunately. UtA is like a dream band to me so it's hard to imagine why someone would want to leave. I can't even find anything on the new bassist because his name is the same as a sitcom character 😅
Saw you guys in Ottawa a few weeks ago, amazing! Don't quite have the words to express how much I love UTA. So cool to see you do a different version of Apex on CTV! I wish you the best and please keep the awesome metal coming!
Maximum respect for you guys and gal, doing an acoustic Apex makes me want screech my teeth for the frustration, I can't imagine for you. Keep fighting, you'll get recognized worldwide in due time
I was waiting for it to drop (and windmills) to happen. How deliciously different. Intoducing it in acoustic was really compelling. The chimes were fun :) Thank you for posting this.
Imagine if someone went to their show based on this performance, man they would be in for a surprise.
@@666myname666 It doesn't say it clearly if they watched it live on CTV news. Get your head checked mate:)
@@666myname666 have you ever heard of a joke or a meme? get your head checked mate:)
Exactly what I was thinking! Funny in the best way ~
A lot of head checking in this comment. Do y'all have a fever or something? Well I do, and Brittany is the remedy!
Niche comedy in the comments, I'm here for it
Scott's brain: "Don´t screw this up, don´t screw this up, don´t screw this up...YES!, NAILED IT!"
Imagine if he had missed his part 😂
Hahaha!
I'm totally impressed by the drummer's performance.
You have had me laughing my ass off the entire video.. 🤣 well done 👏
@@f.t.b.fitnessthroughbalanc5739 I'm glad for it 🤣
Dude why did you have to point out he wasn't doing anything with some chimes in front of him?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao
The fulfillment in Scott's face when he finally did something was heart warming
🤣
yeah! you are so right
SCOTT IS THE BEST DRUMMER OF ALL TIME! (also a great sitter)
No, he is the best sitter in the whole world!
Yeah he's super relax , not much to do on live tv 😒
He was so why tf do I have to be here.
@@gwolfe333 Knowing them and their sense of humour, I bet he was so down for this. Especially if you consider his facial expression at the end when he hits the chimes. xD
John Bonham says hi
I mean Brittney Slayes is a fantastic singer, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a performance more beautiful than Scott's in this clip
The band may be playing Apex but Scott is only hearing "Hello darkness my old friend"
Until the end where he tries hard to not laugh
Jajajajajajajajaja its true xd
😂
XD
I'd venture the host is hearing the same.
4:39 "the moment I trained all my life for" and that 'nailed it' hand gesture after was gold.
that shit eating grin is fantastic
Scott bringing pure brutality!
Lol
I dunno........ 9 out of 10: needed more cowbell....
Nice!
Scott's smile was the best part of the performance.
Lmao the drummer
I know! Couldn't he have had shakers or a box lolol? The smile when he finally got to do SOMETHING. LOLOLOL.
Haha right? Honestly giving him a shaker and a single small war drum would be so good for an acoustic set like this
Flashbacks to highschool band...
UnfortunateFreakNo1 I had the same thought. After Football season, so Marching band becomes Symphonic band for the rest of the hear and the Drumline fights who gets who gets the Tympani, snare, crash cymbal, chimes, bass drum and triangle....lololol. He must have gotten chimes or triangle....lol
I know, so brutal, like punishment!

Strip the band raw and they are still an absolute pleasure to listen to. Brittney's voice comes through clear and lovely. Much respect, guys! Love from Colorado, USA.
The look of pure, unadulterated happiness on scotts face when he finally gets his time to shine made me so fuckin happy.
Lars ulrich should take lessons from this drummer. He a beast!
The drumming in this video is far beyond what Lars can handle, I'm afraid.
@@nigelreginaldaugustus-bake1503 how dare you? Lars is the GREATEST MEDIOCRE DRUMMER ALL TIME.
@@culturedmilk363 Drummer kills me and I'm a guitar person! This band is so under-rated.
@@nigelreginaldaugustus-bake1503 , 😁😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
unplug the archers
This is so dumb but I just keep laughing at it. Well done.
Bravo.
THIS
Played - I'm dying here...
laughing way too much
Awesome!!! Scott nailed that ending!!!
Scott look likes he’s thinking “wtf am I doing up here...”
"Really.... Guys? You brought me along for this? I mean... come on... Can... Can I maybe just leave?"
He’s like: “Come on! Give my drums back. I can’t just sit there while you have fun.”
Aboriginal Chief Swain its a joke... you know cause it’s an acoustic version of a metal song and he’s the drummer. And all he does is swipe the chimes....
Aboriginal Chief Swain dear lord it’s a joke, just like people that believe in psychics
Real fans know how badass ,Scott is..hard to be a drummer to transfer from metal to public live show of a song.
How you know when your drummer is legit... Doesn't do a thing the whole song and manages to steal the show at the end. Seriously, you guys should do an album of acoustic renditions.
We would love some more acoustic renditions!
@@meareweird7714 Acoustic renditions of fast-paced songs is a sign that true art has been created!
well this aged like wine
I just love Unleash The Archers and all its musicians but, have to admit, Scott carried the whole band by himself in this presentation. He's just awesome!!!
Brittney was basically whispering the whole time
Definitely seemed like she was trying to hold it back lol
Yeah, I am not sure why she did it like that. I know its acoustic, but she still could have given it a bit more power.
@@rkempo So the muted instruments could be heard. It was a very reserved performance. They have great range.
She's like Black bolt, even her whispers can level mountains.
You fool! This isn’t even her final form!
Scott's straight killing it
Her voice is made for intense screams and yelling. You can tell she is not used to being so quiet. But I still love it!
Great to see the guy doing all the work getting a break
i was hoping for a sick chime solo at the end.
These guys are an epic metal band. Love them!!
Came here for Scott. Was not disappointed.
Her vocals sound so breathy instead of connected like they should be. I feel like a lot of the warm vibe of this song comes from her really leaning into her lower register. I wonder if the breathier sound here was specifically to not overpower the guitars with her usual sound.
The only 2 vocal comparisons I have to her, are to a lesser extent, the chick from Kobra and the Lotus, and full on awesome musician, one of my favorites, Ida from Triosphere
@@SicFromTheKush Somebody who knows Ida and Triosphere at last! I love them.
I love her so much! What an incredible voice... Goosebumps every time.
Great performance, Scott the rest of you did ok ;)

Here in Brazil we love U.T.A............This acoustic version is incredible!!!!!!!!
Such a great group of people! Still smiling after a long tour! Great song and performance!
Awesome rendition... And Scott biding his time for the big finish! 😉😁
I can't get enough of that voice!
You changed my day from awfully bad to awesomely great in five minutes. Thank you ❤️
Right??!!!
damn, this is cool guys! glad to see you finally getting the recognition you deserve
I am 44 years old have been into metal all my life there is no better vocal than this dio would be proud
this is a disservice of that power and feeling that is unleash the archers you all where holding back and you all are strong proud and great dont ever let something like this happen again! let your heart sing let it roar with an intensity that makes the weak shake! be who you are!!!!
Nice very nice , beautiful indeed ... love the Archers ✊😎
Omg, love the drummer. 😂 you only get one chance buddy, don’t mess it up!
I'm 5 years late to this party, but I'm absolutely blown away by the grace and restraint Brittney has in this. The vocal control to dial it back and make it sound beautiful in an entirely different way than it normally does is incredible.
That drummer was going off
Also I love the smile when he finally got to do something
Never heard her sing that way! She has a beautiful voice to match the face! 👍❤
what a voice.. so tuned so amazing... congrats my sweet singer
Beautiful version
OMFG that chime nailed it. NAILED IT!. I love this band and when I found out they host live D&D on Twitch I was sold. Fully sold. They are the real deal. National Canadian Treasures (and I'm not Canadian).
love you guys

Dude with the stash just waiting for his one little moment with the chimes there. Pain staking.
Those drums were sickkkkkkk!!!
I feel scott.

This is amazing! The restraint you all showed for this huge song is really impressive and haunting. Can't wait to see you all in California again!
Scott showed so much restraint he didn't even bring his drums to the show, ROFL
i just love this band! greetings from austria!!!
Great band, great song, hot lead singer! And what a voice...
The drummer at the end. What a boss!
Brilliant. Such a great song.
Scott's performance 10/10
\m/
What a voice, what a band!
Such a sweet voice.
this is like chaining a werewolf... and putting it on display in a cage lol
I was thinking " I can't take this!" and then read your comment 🤘
I wish my local news stations were this cool. Canada finds a way to give me "awesomeness envy", yet again. That concert had better damn well have sold out.
This version is a jewel

Can't find another word - > GREAT. Instruments + Vocals = a single perfect organism
Amazing Band

Wonderful blending to accommodate the different style
incredible job guys!!!
Scott really brings the band together with this one.
4:42 Scott is like YES MY TIME TO SHINE! Man is a beast back there on the chimes.
Brittney is absolutely amazing!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so good. Love ❤️ you guys
Fantastic Great version love her voice.
Great performance!!!! Worth watching every single second til the very end!!! 🤓🐸😁🤘✌ Priceless moments!!!! 😃😀
Great version love her voice.
Love it.
Brittany is an angel.
If you ever get a chance to see them live, make sure that you make the date. Phenomenal! And this new album is extraordinary.
Please bless us with an acoustic album!
this is the "apex" of their playing. this acoustic set is beyond it all. i have nothing to say, other than they are amazing.
Loading up the metal version after this is the most satisfying thing.
Amazing performance!❤
Epic, epic band. Quality.
Scott: "I could be at Dave and Busters right now."
u are amazing band keep going u are pure awesomeness ;)
Saw you guys in Ottawa a few weeks ago, amazing! Don't quite have the words to express how much I love UTA. So cool to see you do a different version of Apex on CTV! I wish you the best and please keep the awesome metal coming!
Not gonna lie, a full acoustic concert/album would be killer!
They made it to TV!
Scott's smile at the end is PRICELESS! Just saw y'all in Chicago last week and I'm already like an addict looking for a fix to see you again!
Yes!
Maximum respect for you guys and gal, doing an acoustic Apex makes me want screech my teeth for the frustration, I can't imagine for you. Keep fighting, you'll get recognized worldwide in due time
I was waiting for it to drop (and windmills) to happen. How deliciously different. Intoducing it in acoustic was really compelling. The chimes were fun :) Thank you for posting this.
This song is so fucking awesome. Even acoustic. That ENERGY.
I love it!!!!
I feel like Brittany lowered her vocals in volume here because it's in a news station lol
she had to... its too powerful
@@jeremys924 I know. But still. They will never understand the mighty power of her voice.. 😅
I think she did that to do not hurt/stress her voice until the show.
She’s like a dragon from Skyrim. Every word is powerful enough to level mountains, lol
@@larrypilime4786 what a great description. One of my favorite video game franchise. 😁
Now we just need a live version of the original! One of their best songs, for sure!
Fantastic......bravo......encore...et toujours.UTA je t aime
