Europe, we're coming back with our 20 Year Anniversary tour in 2025! Tickets now available at 🎟 parkwaydriverock.com/ We can't wait to see you for these historic shows!
Hes like tim labesis, james hetfield, etc etc, they have a way of getting to a crowd that makes it impossible to not want to thrash to, im dying to get to one of these guys shows!
This is probably one of the best, if not the best, recordings of a live show I've heard. I scrolled down to the comments to see if anyone else noticed it enough to comment
he doesn't have that typical rockstar thing where they seem to love having the crowd in their control, he just seems to genuinely enjoy the fact that people like his music
That's what has always separated Parkway Drive from other bigger bands, they literally have no expectations, treat every show like it's their last and are grateful for every moment. Parkway Drive forever!!!
I'm a new parkway drive fan but I can only imagine that the fans reactions to this is the pinnacle of your career, its truly amazing to see how they and the crowd fueled each other.
Aussie here. Discovered them last year when I was at this exact festival - we were at the front, and holy fuck, it was a mindblowing experience to see them live. Never gave them a listen until that day. Not turned back since. Great job guys!!! \m/
The Wild Eyes guitar solo sing along ALWAYS gives me goosebumps Literally every wild eyes video on YT gets me... it's not even a funny joke There's something about hearing thousands of people singing along. Imagine the rush of bliss they must experience on stage EVERY time
@@michaelbuettner1487Live, from his mom's basement, with the most pointlessly elitist bullshit on an otherwise wonderful comments thread.. this asshole! (Sorry, what was your name? I'm staring RIGHT AT IT, and you're still forgettable..)
How far they have come. I remember seeing them in a venue with less than 1000 people in Mexico 9 years ago, and now they are leading Wacken and other festivals, with their own film, filling stadiums around the world. I am completely proud of them, they are the future of metal. 2 years ago I saw them at Hellfest closing the second night and from that moment I knew that they had achieved in 15 years what few can in a lifetime. Here is all the glory of what a band can achieve. Viva the underdogs!
My roommate played with them on one of their first US tours in 06 or 07 and everyone that was there pretty much left before they played, it's crazy to think of how big they've gotten.
Same dude! My brother introduced them to me back when their first album was out. Saw them twice and they're amazing. Energy is beyond. It's incredible to see them now on every single main stage. Love them and may they live long!
Hell yes! Been seeing them since ‘07 and each show blew me away. All those shows in small jam packed venues. The good ol days. So glad they are where they are now!!!! VIVA THE UNDERDOGS
I am 52 and I am having to find out the difference between Death Metal, Metal core etc... my son likes Death Metal and while trying to find songs I like in his style I found Parkway drive and love their energy.🤟
@@oldschoolltv If you like the sound of Parkway, you might like August burns Reds' Instrumental albums. Otherwise, check out The Ghost Inside, All that Remains and For Today, All great bands from the genre with similar sounds and intensity. Keep rockin' 🤘.
@@feloniousgaming9215 just listen to a few of your suggestions and liked them they even had a cover of Chop Suey, they other day my son said that song he will always remember me playing when he was a kid.
Rockstars never cease to amaze me. The bassist is in a wheelchair and STILL performing. That’s what makes them standout the most, the dedication the their music and their fans
Fuck this is powerful! Almost gets me emotional! I remember a kid broke down in tears in the pit back in the day cause he had so much built of pain and stress and he let it all out at a show and we all just hugged him and told him we’re all here for him!
love that you started as a bunch of surfers from Australia and grew your fan base off of live shows. Truly epic boys and now people all around the world sing your guitar riffs!!
It’s fucking INSANE how big this band is in their home country. They came to the states a few times here in Southern California and we showed them mad love! Made them feel home. Was much appreciated they came to California.
An Aussie band of surfer dudes headlining the biggest metal festival in the world. They straight up killed it. Like 100% full on smashed it out of the ground. Biggest and best metal band on Earth...
Singing along with the guitar in wild eyes gives the same goosebumps from singing the guitar in fear of the dark by iron maiden and I honestly think that is the legendary status parkway is going to reach in the future and certainly deserve to. Amazing.
damn I found out about this band 2 days ago and I am into them because these kind of genre is rare nowadays,thanks for keeping this kind of music alive ,love from Nepal
They’ve someone how perfected the art of sounding insanely heavy with the most basic of riffs and drums. They’re live show sound is clean. Singer is a beast also.
I want everyone who reads this, to know that no matter your background no matter who you are no matter where you come from, if you love Parkway Drive We Are Family. All of us are family we bleed together we love together and we die together.
I almost cry every time I watch this video, Winston has a level of love and passion for his fans that is unrivaled, he’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in my entire life, this is pure magic 🖤
This is truly insane. This show looks like one of the best concerts ever put on, they all feel like family in that huge pit. The quality of sound is perfect, the band is playing at full potential. This is crazy.
No matter how many times I come back to this video, it just makes me smile! Still one of the best Wacken videos of all time, sound engineer, crowd, and PWD were just incredible!!
I have always loved how Parkway Drive has strictly been all about the music. No funny costumes or hairstyle, no drama. Just amazing performance. Feels so good to see my boys make it big, been here from the start!
When it comes down to live music, no other genre can be compared to rock/metal, the energy from both the band and the audience is just out of this world 🤘
This band reunited my little brother and I back in the day. Everytime they are in the USA we try to go see them. We caught them at the rave in Milwaukee performing with Killswitch and after the burial. Man oh man what a treat. What are the chances of your top 3 bands performing together in one night. Best moment in my life. And I'm glad to have shared it with my little bro.
1st time i heard this band was actually in this same wacken show was a suprise for me and im a fan nowadays...glad they performed at wacken or else id never have had heard of them
I remember this like it was yesterday. Me and my mate watched them, then drove back home for 6 hours' after they played. Who knew it would be the last Wacken weekend for a while .....
The look on Winston's face when the entire crowd sings is amazing, almost in shock like he wasn't expecting it is just awesome. This is how you bring people together. Absolutely fucking amazing.
@@radamtv4779 Wenn das Wetter kacke ist, dann ja :D. 2015 war die Hölle sag ich dir... die nächsten zwei Jahre waren auch schlammig aber im Vergleich zu 2015 echt harmlos.
mehr als ne geile kulisse aber auch nicht.! IMMER das beschissenste line-up von allen metal-festivals in europa.! würd ich nicht mal für geschenkt hinfahren... da wird halt jeder scheiß abgefeiert, als gäbs kein morgen mehr - egal, wie grottig oder uninteressant die (co-)headliner auch sind. hier super beispiel...parkway drive - ey, bitte...eine der am meisten überbewertesten bands. kenne nicht einen einzigen, der sich die anhört...weil die einfach kacke sind.
shit this is one of the best live videos ive ever seen. mad quality, impecable audio, crowd was nuts, id give everything to be in that stage with winston and feel all that energy. it makes everything worth it.
Watching this in January 2022 while covid infections here in Germany are through the roof. Having goosebumps all the way through and almost on the brink of tears. Only when you can't have something anymore, do you appreciate what it means for you. And my god do Wacken and Metal mean the world to me. Hope to be standing on the holy ground again soon😢🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
Europe, we're coming back with our 20 Year Anniversary tour in 2025!

Winston looks at the crowd the same way the crowd looks at him and honestly that's what every band needs in a frontman.
Dog muffins comment another time about how Winston looks at the crowd
when your band has been solid for almost 20 years...they get it
@Stephen j the crowd at Wacken was almost always very great and massive.
I was just about to say. 2:23.....that's all love.
Hes like tim labesis, james hetfield, etc etc, they have a way of getting to a crowd that makes it impossible to not want to thrash to, im dying to get to one of these guys shows!
Can we take a moment and praise the sound engineer for working magic on this live performance?
Flawless
Confined Kitchen he deserves a Fukin medal....
Wacken is freaking fantastic, the sound is excellent. Best festival, hands down.
Definitely. Sounds fucking amazing.
This is probably one of the best, if not the best, recordings of a live show I've heard. I scrolled down to the comments to see if anyone else noticed it enough to comment
Can we just appreciate how speechless Winston is when everyone is singing along, you can just see the amount of joy in his eyes.
he doesn't have that typical rockstar thing where they seem to love having the crowd in their control, he just seems to genuinely enjoy the fact that people like his music

Gives me goosebumps \m/
“ A generation born to witness the end of the world” sounds about right
Just like "Viva The Underdogs".
That’s the way this years going aha
We will
Who knows only time can tell
💪🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Parkway Drive for life 💀
You can tell how much Winston is enjoying every moment of this by his facial expressions. How far they’ve come...
Been the shit since Killing with a Smile!
So proud of them tbh. They have no gimmicks or bullshit. Just 15 years of hard fucking work
Still blows my mind since discovering them in 2008.

Most epic band that has come from playing in schools in Australia and then THIS NEW WHOLE LEVEL!

Fucking A g, I remember watching these cats live in a basketball/gym at some high school in Canberra circa 2007. Wild then, wild now.
I saw these dudes in a roller skating rink back in '08 in Wisconsin. Pretty rad to see how big they've gotten.
Parkway Drive for life
This song shall be put on the periodic table as the heaviest element on earth.
The Wild Eyes guitar solo sing along ALWAYS gives me goosebumps
Literally every wild eyes video on YT gets me... it's not even a funny joke
There's something about hearing thousands of people singing along.
Imagine the rush of bliss they must experience on stage EVERY time
Cord tones and arpeggios!
Matt V lol that guitar sing along is like the most lame sounding cheesy shit I’ve ever heard.
Reed Lobbestael you must be so fun at parties
It's called a riff. A guitar solo is something completely different.
Imagine being there for that in person and being able to participate with everyone screaming the riff at the top of your lungs
Parkway Drive is a one of the best metal bands in a history!
The way he controls the crowd is mind-blowing
I don’t think it’s metal

Not the first time for them in wheel chairs lol surprised dont happen more w em lol I've seen shows where dudes wearing flipflops on stage n all lol
“Atlas” is honestly one of the greatest music albums ever made, and this song continues to be its dual anthem (paired with Dark Days)
Facts
That riff is just magic...
And Jeff's a quality guitarist.
Can we take a minute to understand how Winston must feel having all those people yell back at him. Goosebumps ever fucking time
Right? Over 75,000 people in that crowd. Gives me goose pimples every time I listen to it (which is multiple times a day)
Fuck this is powerful! Almost gets me emotional! I remember a kid broke down in tears in the pit back in the day cause he had so much built of pain and stress and he let it all out at a show and we all just hugged him and told him we’re all here for him!
That’s deep
That is the power of the metal family.
Beautiful bro
id be doing the same thing
thats beautiful.
@2:23 When Winston McCall smiles....my heart goes weak. He's freaking amazing.
I cannot imagine what it must feel like hearing a crowd chant one of your songs like this.. like.. the full crowd i mean... love it!
Or you have the entire country of Brazil sing an instrumental...ie Rush yyz
Worth the watch
love that you started as a bunch of surfers from Australia and grew your fan base off of live shows.

isnt it just sick seeing someone love what they do so much? its what i need in my life right now.
The most magical guitar riff in metal history. Fucking epic.
I need to be blessed with the skills of this sound engineer dude. When you can make a live performance sound better than an album
It’s fucking INSANE how big this band is in their home country. They came to the states a few times here in Southern California and we showed them mad love! Made them feel home. Was much appreciated they came to California.
They are big in Australia, we're very proud of our home boyz, they're gigs go off, got my tickets ready for July 2021 at HBF in Perth, West Australia
2023 and still coming back to this song because that guitar riff and drum blasts are so damn crispy👌🏼🔥
