"ALSO, I'M NOT HOMOSEXUAL".
Is how I'm ending ALL of my work emails from now on 😂
I think of This Means War as a spiritual prelude to Beartooth. Even the drum patterns are similar to what would later turn up on Beartooth's first record.
That's because Caleb literally wrote that entire album. Just like he does with every Beartooth album (with the exception of "Disease". He had some help with that).
@@JSTPband and disease was like Buttooths only good album 😂 AA died when Franck left.
@@dallasprysiazny While nothing beats Disease and the EP, Beartooth is still making jams imo
We should petition it officially be changed to Beartooth. It's basically Caleb all the way
@@JSTPband sounds controlling
I love how we never acknowledge how many gatekeepers in the music scene who hated anything popular in the scene there was in the 00s. Looking back it really wasn't that serious of these bands and their different sounds. They influenced this Gen.
funny to think stuff like currents and polaris would probably be extremely different without AA
It was weird. I saw blessthefall at a Taste of Chaos show sometime around 2008. Had my BTF shirt on and was walking back from the bathroom and some random dude in an Avenged Sevenfold shirt (who I also like) sang "Blessthefall is gay" in a the melody of one of their songs as he walked by me. I said nothing to this guy, didn't even notice him till he said it. It was unprovoked and completely out of nowhere. I just shook my head and laughed, which seemed to bother him too as he walked away with a pissed off look on his face. I wasn't even mad or offended, I just found it comically stupid.
It was bizarre and was the only time that's happened to me at a show, but it epitomized that era of gatekeeping. I stopped going to music forums to avoid all that stuff. Just let bands do their thing and have fun. That's what music is all about.
They really did a lot
Same with the oldheads in hip hop. They want to stick with the same sound for decades(which is fine) but the problem comes in when they start attacking and discouraging people from evolving the genre
Bilmuri was the best thing to come out of AA! for me. Johnny doing his own weird funky shit is just... I'm watching a man do what he wants and it sounds great.
March ahead was fairly solid too, especially the last stuff he made under that title. The guitarist, Lee Albrecht is one of the best on the planet. His other band Seraphim is one of my top favorites.
Have you heart their last album this means war. That was their best work. Should’ve been released under beartooth though.
@@nicholasdonin1465 the first March Ahead album literally sounds like unreleased AA songs that Johnny had written. And shows how much of his creativity contributed to the band.
@@TheAwGooner oh yea. I don't overly care for March ahead until he had Lee Albrecht
Bilmuri is one of my favorite bands now!! Johnny is such a cool and talented guy! Seeing him perform live was definitely one of my highlights from last year
Please do a video on Enter Shikari. They are different and have been around for over a decade. I would love for your breakdown on the band. 💚
Best band on earth!

Austin and OM&M: serious and intimidating
Caleb and Beartooth: serious and intimidating
Johnny and Bilmuri: derp face and cowboy hat
Wetzel did nine shrines
Whoa, I had completely forgotten that Jerry Roush was in OM&M briefly. You can always count on the Cozy Rep to bring the scene lore. Great video as always.
AC-130 is a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reference. But I also think that song was about Austin.
I’m pretty sure AC-130 and Digging Your Grave by The Plot In You are about Austin Carlile
@@jackdotsontv correct on both
@@jackdotsontv did Landon ever say why I remember he tweeted something like “you’ll never know why”
@@Albie_SOHR as far as I know, Austin called Landon and said something about him and his kid that crossed the line. If I’m wrong, someone please correct me
@@jackdotsontv The song was actually about Austin allegedly raping someone that Landon knew/is related to. Pretty ahead of it's time, considering all the shit that ended up coming out about Carlile
I agree, their self titled one is by far their best album. I'm glad they're back in some degree and returned back to their earlier sound. The new ep is pretty good and a natural follow up to their 2nd album.
your channel feels like it was made for me specifically. i love your content so much dude!
THIS IS A FAMILY..... CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUGCHUG. Legit been watching your content for the past two weeks and absolutely love coming back into the warped scene videos :)
I remember liking a video from Attack Attack! that had the demo version of Stick Stickly. In the video, there were guys in mosh pits and parking lots, crowdkilling, moshing, and spin - kicking. I don’t know if the video is still up (haven’t checked my feed further to see if it was deleted or not), but it had to be the sickest video I’ve seen.
This Means War and self titled are easily my favorites. I like Someday Came Suddenly but not nearly as much as the other albums. I feel that the self titled is peak and iconic Attack Attack while This Means War is basically a pre-Beartooth album for Caleb which I love because I also love Beartooth. Also I’m loving the new stuff rn.
you make me nostalgic for bands I didn't even listen to. The passion and love for the scene is infectious and I always learn something good!
When Johnny left, I left to. I recently just revisited their 3rd album in my life and now @ 30 Years old I love that album. I did follow Caleb to Beartooth and everything, But attack attack lost me when Johnny left :3 he was attack attack to me.. He brought in that Neon Pop punk shit that I loved about AA #1. I mean i was still around for 'Last breath' and how Caleb was talking about changing his Vocals up and actually trying a lot harder. I liked Last Breath and remember it being kind of heavy in it's own way, Like Wetzel said in the interview. Bro i couldn't believe their was a tour with Attack Attack as the headliner and Asking Alexandria as an opener... That has to be where they stole the stage presence and perfected the crabcore. AA #1 and AA#2 hahah
I kinda think of This Means War as the first Beartooth album rather than an Attack Attack album. Good, but different for an album under the AA name
The third, separated from the core AA formula, is a solid album. The wretched is still on regular rotation for me
If you don’t know about Bilmuri, go listen to it NOW. It’s Johnny’s current project and it’s amazing
@@andremasghati852 I heard about Bilmuri from the comments of the first video on Attack Attack, on this channel. I agree, it's amazing. Been streaming 400lb Back Squat ever since
Bro i so agree with you!!
It warms my heart to see how many people missed on Attack Attack!
I’ll never forget seeing a AA tour video that had just came out. They were at Chili’s talking about what they ate, and someone harmlessly said “All Caleb had was a Diet Coke” or something like that… didn’t even realize at the time.
You guess we still love Johnny?? Bilmuri is amazing!
You should do a "Rise and Fall" of A Day To Remember or for Black Veil Brides. They both have interesting stories IMO. Loved the vid dude, keep it up!
A day to remember would be an interesting rise. I just saw them at the mission ballroom.. they didn't fall ha. Still got it. should be a vid on the channel for sure.
@@DxmSanchez For sure, they are still strong. And while they don’t have the total domination they used to, they are still heavily respected and people come out in MASS for their shows.
i miss john holgado, i hope he’s living life, metal articles were so insensitive back then!! you look up his name and it’s just so weird and crazy, miss his face 😭❤️
so funny how caleb's worst scream is better than nick's best scream
Bro, ur timing is always perfect! Can’t wait to watch this!!🖤🦀
Just letting you guys know, the new ep Attack Attack came out with in 2021 is really good. Honestly think it’s such a good step up for them. I hope this time they can keep their shit together after being gone for 7 years.
Dear Wendy is a banger
It’s ok but it sounds like everyone else. Would’ve rather seen more members reunite with more of their original sound rather than a 20% reunion that sounds like wannabe BMTH
@@Jumss Press F and All My Life are my favorites but that song is dope af too.
@@stevelatour7886 Honestly I have thought about this too, and as much as I do miss those days, their history and drama just has proved that their current lineup has the most potential. Also I feel like two of their songs sound like their old stuff and the Kawaii Cowboys I think is the only song I think sounds the most unique. Never heard a country like tone meets electronic vibe before but that’s just me. If that sounds like everyone else I’d love to hear recommendations on what that sounds like cause I have yet to hear a metal, pop, or electronic artist add bass drops to acoustic-country like riffs before.
It’s not good but neither is most of AA!’s catalog
That guy that said technical difficulties in the beginning... At the American legion in Pensacola in 08/09 the synth audio went down..then all audio after that during party foul and I remember Austin Carlisle repeating: "boats n hoes" to smooth it over. Still an amazing show. Thanks J! Love the nostalgia you bring with these vids.
Pretty sure AC-130 was a direct reference it's appearance in Modern Warfare 2 because Johnny was obsessed with the game. Even put in the thank you section for the album
You consistently kill it man!
SO happy to see you finally make a video on Attack Attack! Just watched this and the first part back to back and it's honestly the best video I've been able to find about them on the internet. Your channel bings me so much nostalgia, I can't wait to see what you do next
Something I didn’t see mentioned is between the self titled and the 4 song EP with “last breath” and even on into this means war, Caleb Shomo was heavily studying singing and screaming vocal technique with Melissa cross. His work on this means war and bear tooth are some of the best examples of the technique she teaches.
This means war is my favourite album by far, it feels sort of like a teaser of the sound that Beartooth picked up later on. Kinda like a Beartooth 1.0 if you will.
I remember my sophomore year this guy in my class showed me stick stickly and was hooked in the ‘scene music’ ever since lol. Still listen to a lot of those bands today. But I agree their self titled is my fav album too!
Another flawless video! So many memories and once again I agree with you self titled is such an OP record!
Also worth noting that a pretty good reason they booted Nick was there is a demo of Sexual Man Chocolate with him and Caleb just over shadows him in it
Caleb was young for a front man, but hey they did tour with Our Last Night, who had Trevor, who was 12 when he joined his band, so yeah
Also AC-130 is probably a reference to the popular Call of Duty kill streak perk that would call in a AC-130
Just wanna say - I love watching your videos progress! Alot of visuals and just the right balance of your commentary and outside sources that help wrap everything up nicely! Already diggin tf outta this one
Attack attack is playing at a bar thats right down the street from me in april!! Weird.... but lets gooo
Great video as always!!! It's nice to see them back!!! It would also be cool to have the band go on tour and do what DGD did with having all the vocalists join them for songs!!!
The AC-130 thing probably had something to do with Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 being like the biggest thing in the world around when the album came out
I saw Caleb's lead Attack Attack! at NJ's Bambooze as well as a baby Asking Alexandria and man, what nostalgia.
The new Attack Attack sounds good...if it was called anything else. Also, the lineup with Phil was actually solid. Those were wild times
Yeah using the name attack attack with that sound and lineup makes it clear its a cash grab. It sounds fine but its literally just not attack attack
I admit i've never heard of any of this bands youre videos are based on but i watch them all, your knowledge on music and you explain everything so well, you are so cool thank you for the vids
I remember seeing Attack Attack twice in 2012. Once with TWA and Escape The Fate where Caleb Shomo had the flu and was puking on stage, and then headlining Scream It Like You Mean It 2012
Beartooth played my friends garage during the first album era. It was a great show. Caleb and the band were very cool.
do ismfof next!
I second this
@@kevinzer4937 I third this
@@ShinRobjira I fourth this
I actually know their bassist and I can guarantee you that caterpillar sex is probably never going to be an album 🤷🏻♀️ Matt just doesn't want to release it despite having everything done. At least from what I've been told.
hope he does
Self Tittle album and This Means War are really great albums and both really got me into the usage of synth in metalcore the most and it became one of the core elements I particularly like whenever I'm in urge to listen to new bands. Never knew how amazing the synth and poppy/ catchy choruses can be.
I was hoping for a follow up! Thanks Cozy ❤
I love your videos man, they really bring back memories of better times
Oh what a treat, I had a bad day and come home and see the cozy representative made another video 🙌🏽
The self titled album is a classic for me
Thank you. Please do Confide in the near future!
I love these videos dude, this the type of sh*t I wish my friends would take about !
I think they actually came to my college and played a show before going to warped in the tour you speak about in the beginning. Crazy how time flies. OH THE BLOOD OH THE BLOOD OF THE MASSACRE !!!
It’s such a weird coincidence that you post this, I started listening to this band again recently
Attack Attack will always be influential to me due to the bands that were created out of former members.
Bilmuri
Beartooth
Of Mice & Men --> Dayshell
There's probably more, but these are the ones that come to mind.
Nine shrines
But at a cost RIP Jamie's Elsewhere
Attack attack --- attack attack
@@nicholasdonin1465 I loved them storm coming was fucking great album
Joel piper filled in as clean vocals on a few shows for attack attack, Joel has lost his mind with god in the last few years
18:42 I’m from New Jersey and I specifically remember missing this show at the Starland Ballroom & I regret not going ever since 😭
I thought it was abruptly ended the previous video. I knew there would be a part 2
There was also a small beef between attack attack and upon a burning body, I think it was a little bit after the smokahontas video came out
Do sleeping with sirens cozy! Love the vids
The first time I saw Attack Attack! was on the Fuck It We're Done Tour in and Caleb had come back to perform. It was an awesome show. The second time I saw Attack Attack! was last month and it was great to see them again like 10 years later. Crabcore forever baby!
Dude, please do a video explaining Blacklisted Me, ive heard there was some drama around it but I cant seem to find anything hahaha, subscribed ofc
After seeing how successful this last tour they did was, I don't think AA is going to go away again anytime soon
Man Cozy is easily my favourite RUclipsr right now. Love the personality he injects into his content
I still go back to that love intro from 18:47 from time to time. Shit went hard
Best RUclips channel. We love you cozy!
Johnny Franck leaving because he's more introverted makes more sense when you listen to his current band Bilmuri's lyrics. Bilmuri is amazing, for anyone who haven't heard them yet.
Bruh I was just watching an commenting on the other AA video not too long ago lmaooo such timing
Wicked video as always man! It would be really cool if you did an ISMFOF one! Remember those weird sketches they did to promote their music back in the day?
I 100% agree with the self title being the best album! Thank you for this video!
Good job on the videos recently also its nice how you're starting to look like a member of okilly dokilly
Yes I’ve been waiting for this !
Fun fact! before the album came out austin was rumoured to rejoin the band and attack attacks response was multiple lines for AC-130 including "youre better off dead." they deleted it shortly after posting it but the song was definitely about austin.
I've been following your work since the rise and fall of Jonny Craig. You do great work! I use to love attack attack!
Pick a side and last breath are like 2 of my favorite Attack attack songs definitely in my top 5!
I honestly like this means was my favorite song is off this album, “the wretched.” I think they did a really good job on this one
I always thought AC130 was just a funny reference to the call of duty kill streak from MW2, being that the game was so popular at the time. Never thought about it as an Austin diss but that’d be crazy.
The thing about Attack Attack!,
Not only did they get better every album, but they also set every single trend in the scene with their album releases. Just look at the timing of albums around that time and everytime they would release an album and drop tunings for instance, everyone else in their direct reach in the scene would follow suit. Before their self titled album every metalcore band was still in drop D or C. But the year following, they all dropped their tunings as well. Same with "This means war". After that album released, every band was using 7 strings and groovy breakdowns instead of traditional chugs.
Saw them on Shred til youre dead tour with Caleb at the helm and they did Sexual Man Chocolate for the first time. God I'm old
Sean was a great touring member for them. Wish he stuck with the band and made an album with them
I would love to see one of these on I Set My Friends On Fire
Just saw AA live a few months ago, they were phenomenal. Their new songs are in my opinion, their best and most balanced material. Not too crazy, but not so bland that they don't have a sound. Their new vocalist is absolutely killer.
would love to see a breakdown on tyler carter from a path less traveled to woe is me to issues. there are some pretty telling lyrics on woe is me - vengeance that were contextualized pretty heavily after those allegations
Being a big fan of him, I would love if you did a video on bear tooth kinda as a continuation of Caleb’s career as well as another good band.
I absolutely agree about "Attack Attack!" being the best album they released ever.
Fun fact: AC-130 (while potemtially written for Austin Carlile) is actually a reference to Call of Duty games. It is the name of a "killstreak", which allows you to call upon said gunship after obtaining a lot of kills in a row without dying on multiplayer match.
ALSO worth talking about, Last Breath had a demo that was insanely better than the outcome and they had written an entire album like the song that got shelved
Crazy enough, AA is playing at a venue near me on June 10th which is gonna be cool
32:00 Incredibly well said! Couldn't have said it better myself!
Another great ep!
This one came out in record time! 😍
Dude I love these videos so much
Last breath and pick a side I instantly loved. I wish they kept that the 3rd album sound. BUT as I distanced from that genre as I got older, the 3rs album is solid AF. Anyone just jumping into that album would never associate that with teeny core. I got into these guys my senior year of HS, after several Columbus Ohio shows. And yes, Austin was a total tool back then
Also NO DEFEAT was a damn BANGER!
They actually fully recorded a album with Feldman. Wetzel said it was very fall out boy like. They never released it obviously. Caleb quit etc.
Yes, my cd by then us also their self tittle :) Keep up these series as I loved the Asking Alexandria and now this, great work 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I agree with you, attack attacks self titled was definitely their best album, all good bangers like sexual man chocolate,I swear I’ll change, smokahontas,and turbo swag are my favorite songs on that album. I think Caleb honestly made the band who they were meant to be.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Your correct there self-titled album is hands down there best work to date
I'd say this the best album from them, the mixture of techno and metal was just right
What sucks the worst about being a fan of any scene band (ie, AA!, Asking, TDWP, OM&M, etc.) is that from an outside perspective, it felt like most were pressured by “metal” dudes/douchebag metal injection reviewers to write heavier material OR to straight up try and copy BMTH’s Sempiternal as a lot of bands did. But all I ever wanted was for them to be more scene/emo. But at the time, that was heavily shamed. And now the irony is we all miss that sound/look that unfortunately no band does anymore.
Something on The Used would be wonderful :). Local legends here in Utah.
Moderate scene prominence.
Lmao 😂
they actually wrote and recorded a full album with phil! you can buy it from him for $10 if youre interested, its pretty great!
No way! Gotta look that up
