It's wild how you can forget a song for 13 years and come back and remember every little bit of it. Shout out to y'all coming back to this song in 2023.
The Word Alive was founded in 2008 by Craig Mabbitt (lead vocals) with Zack Hansen (guitar) and Tony Pizzuti (guitar) who were former members of the bands Calling of Syrens[1] and Clouds Take Shape.[2] As a side-project of Mabbitt during his part in Escape the Fate, the remaining required members he recruited to start The Word Alive were chosen to be Nick Urlacher (bass), Dusty Riach (keyboard) and Tony Aguilera (drums). there u go
He was in Blessthefall, then he created The Word Alive while he was with Escape The Fate. But The Word Alive wanted to get signed and they needed Craig, but he was too busy with Escape The Fate. So they kicked him out.
@@lastnameawesome8982 im pretty sure he didn't get kicked out of blessthefall . From what I remember he had a daughter while in BLF, and since they found success very early on he was never really around for her when she was a baby. He chose to leave a tour they were on to spend some time with her. That's when BTF went through that weird period of the bas player doing all the vocals. When he tried to come back, they had already decided to move without him. So I wouldn't say he was kicked out, because he chose to leave. Then he formed TWA, and realsed this track which was dope. I think it was obvious he had some sort of guilt about not being there for his daughter when she was a baby because guys like you, and this song are both about little girls.
@@kramraliuga5589the funny thing is that after Craig was done recording the this war is ours album with etf, btf called him and asked him to rejoin the band but Craig rejected them because he felt it was too little too late
@XxSlipknotBoyxX He was in BTF and TWA at the same time. TWA kicked him out because they wanted to tour with, but Craig spent so much time with BTF. He then left BTF because he had drinking problems. Now he's in ETF.
@RaarZipan Actually, he was trying out for A Skylit Drive. When he was signing his contract, he signed to ETF by accident, which they needed a vocalist also. And btw, he formed TWA while in BTF. Left BTF, tried for ASD, signed to ETF, then got kicked out of TWA
@Darkdarren12 That is so wrong it is fucked up. Craig was in BTF and was kicked out for drinking problems/family issues. He then formed The Word Alive while he tried out for Escape the Fate, he got into Escape the Fate and had The Word Alive as a side project so he could continue making heavy music. The Word Alive then decided they want to be a full time band and kicked him out. Hence he now has a solo project of heavier music. Don't say things you don't know about.
@emoguitarist17 Like I said above, Don't say things when you don't know what you are talking about. He didn't "jump" to ETF. Craig was in BTF, got kicked out, Formed The Word Alive and tried out for ETF, got into ETF and had that as full time and TWA as a side project. TWA then kicked him out to be a full time band.
@AlilovesCB No, Caig was in BTF and then was in ETF and while in ETF he made a side project for a harder side of music and created TWA but because of his full schedule with ETF (touring) he couldn't tour with TWA soo they kicked him out and basically had tryouts for Tyler "telle" Smith and that's the current lead singer/ info about Craig (=
@ivXtreme iif np, if youre talking about craig then no, I dont think he ever was in that band haha. Craig left btf, joined etf, made twa as a side project, but got kicked our when on tour.
@AlilovesCB its really like this: BTF then TWA then ETF. when craig left BTF he formed with these guys and they kicked him out. He went to call and try out for A Skylit Drive at the time but accidentally called Escape the Fate, which was also in need of a vocalist because Ronnie was in prison.
It He was in both bands, But he leave this band and now only this in scape the fate!! Only he record three songs with this band.. Now "the word alive" has a new singer Personally I like so much this band...
@MrDamburger yeah this isint an album i mean it was supposed to be an ep but then they kicked craig out because he was also working with etf you can find all of the songs of the ep on youtube but it was never released
@DoomedDayRS I'm pretty sure I'm correct cause I was following Craig the whole time. He was in btf with twa as a side project. He got kicked from btf then joined etf. While on tour with etf I asked him how twa was and he said he didn't know cause he's always gone, then later the twa page didn't say he was with them anymore.
@DiegoUchiha11 Yes he tried out for ASD, but that was after BTF and before TWA/ETF. He called the wrong management, and got ahold of ETFs before it was out they needed a new singer and they let him try out. He did NOT form TWA WHILE he was in BTF, he formed TWA when he joined ETF. He didnt SIGN to ETF by accident he CONTACTED them on accident, he signed with them because it worked out/
@EcHoRenegade Let me start over, i mean he left btf, then he tried to come back but wouldnt let him in. then he went to etf then strarted twa as a side project, he got kicked out cause the rest wanted to be signed to a label. NOT for alcholic problems
@ohemgeeitzmaddie Thank you for understanding, the last 15 or so people sure didn't. If it weren't for all that happened, we would never have known Telle, Beau, or FIR at all. It was all for the best. :D
can anybody give me a link to Telle's version of this song? can't find it anywhere... all i see in youtube are live ones... gonna compare them hehe >:)
Fucking legend, i've just found a new band that i love! and this song rock's my sock's TBH! love all three bands that he's in =] they all rock! :P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@CeruleanCrystal i think it was BTF then he got kicked and created TWA as he was signing with Epitath, TWA kicked him out, so he went full force to ETF
Ok here to clear the air. He was in BTF and created TWA as a side project in 2008. Then he got kicked out of BTF and he was with TWA for awhile and then joing ETF because ronnie went to jail. After being in ETF, TWA kicked him because he could never tour due to being with ETF as his first priority.
@XxGuillotin3xX Thanks for the info. I'm just curious though, is the lead singer for this band also the former singer of a sky lit drive? Looks awfully alike.
to hoodiejames: the escape the fait your hearing prolly isnt craig becuz alot of the shit theyve recorded was with their old vocalist. he just sings more now. which doesnt even make a difference becuz he is amazing at what he does. but i do know what your talking about...
thumbs up if you knew this band when this song and casanova rodeo first came out
god damn good times
we are old now
@@Heywooo Yup, god damn I miss the myspace days sometimes
2024 and I will continue to keep coming back to this masterpiece
Fuck yeah ❤
Did any of you guys happen to go to the chain reaction shows?
I wish this was on spotify
me too
That's why I'm here. Just remembered this one.
same :((
Yeah tried to searched it but it didn’t show so sad
This is why streaming is ass and people should own things and/or pirate them 🤭
My parents said this music was a phase, but here I am in 2024 💯💪🏽
Same
@@ryanrice2399 glad you're here. so am i. lol.
I’m 27 now, but god damn....take me back to 17 please lol!
Bill Cosby such a throwback right haha
What a time to be in highschool man
32 😅

Man so many memories, take me back to 2009!!!

I love word alive as they are! But i really wanna see how this band would have turned out if they kept craig
They need to release this song on iTunes already!!!
Alguém ouvindo isso em 2023? Nostalgia define!
em 2024 hehe
Craig is amazing in all the bands he was in! ♥BTF TWA ETF♥
live rabbits as well
how long has it been? 15 years? crazy how i suddenly think of this song.
What a great song. Definitely Craig's best music. He fucked up after this war is ours with escape the fate
He was in Blessthefall, then he created The Word Alive while he was with Escape The Fate. But The Word Alive wanted to get signed and they needed Craig, but he was too busy with Escape The Fate. So they kicked him out.
Is that accurate? I thought they kicked him out because they wanted tele instead because had just moved back and was an old friend of theirs. Idk tho
@@lastnameawesome8982 im pretty sure he didn't get kicked out of blessthefall . From what I remember he had a daughter while in BLF, and since they found success very early on he was never really around for her when she was a baby.

He was better off with this band. Escape the gate sucked to me.
@@kramraliuga5589the funny thing is that after Craig was done recording the this war is ours album with etf, btf called him and asked him to rejoin the band but Craig rejected them because he felt it was too little too late
It was never a phase mom
Super Thumbs up 👍🏽
If you're listening to this in 2019 😎🤘🏽 Wish I could stream it in spotify lol... 😢
2021
sameee
Dead rabbitts was extremely close to this, in most of their songs in fact, like the air I breathe is you.
Why does this song sound so good 😊
Wish Telle would remaster this EP with his vocals
this is THE video that made me fall in love with THE WORD ALIVE
the OMG SHE'S JUST A LITTLE GIRL reminds me so much of old greeley. so good.
All these band chancges, i like ALL the forms they've been in
ตำนานตลอดไปครับ
I hate how no one's mentioning the brilliant-ass guitarwork in this track. Was blown away the first time I heard it.
@ivXtreme were gonna drown your ego, youre the legend no one knows- we wont back down (ETF) nuff said..
i can listen to this song over and over again for hours :)
@XxSlipknotBoyxX He was in BTF and TWA at the same time. TWA kicked him out because they wanted to tour with, but Craig spent so much time with BTF. He then left BTF because he had drinking problems. Now he's in ETF.
Also listen to Kill the lights by Calling of Syrens. Another great local band one of the guitarist was in. Tony the man.
@RaarZipan Actually, he was trying out for A Skylit Drive. When he was signing his contract, he signed to ETF by accident, which they needed a vocalist also. And btw, he formed TWA while in BTF. Left BTF, tried for ASD, signed to ETF, then got kicked out of TWA
this is still an amazing wish craig would have stayed here
Still jamming in 2021
saw these guys live yesterday :D badass as hell. craig was there 2
Do Not Let The Demon Leave Through The Back Door...!!!
I Love the word Alive!! Creig was not kicked out. He just wanted to spend sometime with his daughter. GO TWA,AND BTF!!
my favorite song ever. good to here it again
The instrumentation is beautiful
This is off The Word Alive EP (2008). With craig mabbit still in the band on vocals. It was never released so it will never be on itunes
Чет настольгирую😢
Как же я обожаю такую музыку!
Мне 31. Лет с 16 их слушаю
i grew up locally and saw them live a couple of times. Did you get to see them live?
@Darkdarren12 That is so wrong it is fucked up. Craig was in BTF and was kicked out for drinking problems/family issues.

awesome song cant wait to hear more from TWA
@fer2789 I'm not sure what you're talking about but the other person is right. The audio definitely sounds better in HD.
@emoguitarist17 Like I said above, Don't say things when you don't know what you are talking about. He didn't "jump" to ETF. Craig was in BTF, got kicked out, Formed The Word Alive and tried out for ETF, got into ETF and had that as full time and TWA as a side project. TWA then kicked him out to be a full time band.
@knight0924 I completely agree. Theyre all incredibly talented musicians and are perfect exactly where they are.
@AlilovesCB

@fukobsessed Actually ETF is on a major label now, they're bigger now than they've ever been.
this song tickles me...O.o
And he also played in eyes set to kill - deadly weapons
It He was in both bands, But he leave this band and now only this in scape the fate!!
Only he record three songs with this band..
Now "the word alive" has a new singer
Personally I like so much this band...
his voice and screams are amazing!
craig rules :D
@MrDamburger

@AlilovesCB No he was in BTF then got kicked out, then joined both TWA and ETF, but got kicked out of TWA cause he was always gone for ETF.
@ScarlettXemo he did, a long time ago. his time in BTF and TWA is old news in case you haven't noticed. -__-
14 years old... God damn
@DiegoUchiha11 Yes he tried out for ASD, but that was after BTF and before TWA/ETF.

@AlilovesCB It was BTF then ETF and formed TWA as a side project.

i fuckining love this song and craig can sing
i'd like to see them make a new version of this song with Telle like they did with casanova rodeo
OH MY GOD! SHES JUST A LITTLE GIRL!
ya craigs starting a new side project and beau and jared from btf and craig are doing a song with greeley estates on GE's new cd
can anybody give me a link to Telle's version of this song? can't find it anywhere... all i see in youtube are live ones... gonna compare them hehe >:)
@J3SS369 blessthefall its another band Craig was in
@XxSlipknotBoyxX craig was in bless the fall, and at the same time, was in the word alive, then jumped to etf
Fucking legend, i've just found a new band that i love!
and this song rock's my sock's TBH!
love all three bands that he's in =]
they all rock! :P
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jake Imms I love seeing that this comment is 10 years old and still loving this!!
he sounds so young!
still slaps
anyone know where to download the tracks before the ep was released? 'cause this is amazing =)
@CeruleanCrystal i think it was BTF then he got kicked and created TWA as he was signing with Epitath, TWA kicked him out, so he went full force to ETF
@AlilovesCB Nooooo. It was Blessthefall then Escape The Fate, and The Word Alive was his side project nub.
@AlilovesCB ps: portuguese
na verdade ele foi primeiro do BTF depois TWA depois ETF :)
Well,you might like Telle more or not,craig's screaming is awesome :)
Damn, how many bands is Craig in?!?!
Ok here to clear the air. He was in BTF and created TWA as a side project in 2008. Then he got kicked out of BTF and he was with TWA for awhile and then joing ETF because ronnie went to jail. After being in ETF, TWA kicked him because he could never tour due to being with ETF as his first priority.
holy shit what band wasnt craig in? seriously can someone give me a full list of all his former bands up till etf?
i was always curious on why it sounded like craig in this song and the song 'im sorry' but now i know O.o
@ivXtreme he toured with with a skylit drive but as for being the actual lead singer im afraid not
@Sain117 and btf is better or worse without craig?
no, he was in Blessthefall, than the word alive, now in ETF.
@AlilovesCB No, it was Blessthefall, The Word Alive, then Escape the Fate. Lol(:
@XxGuillotin3xX Thanks for the info. I'm just curious though, is the lead singer for this band also the former singer of a sky lit drive? Looks awfully alike.
ivXtreme thats jordan blake, former frontman of a skylit drive..
@daniel6235 really? oh damn nvm it seemed like so much more i was thinkin like 4 or 5 maybe even 6
Wait I know that Craig is in ETF now and got kicked out of BTF, but is he in this band again at the same time?
@MrDamburger this song isn't in a album
why did As blood Runs Black take their new song with vocals off?
whats going to happen to the band now that craig left
Zack is the only member left from this era :(
i thought he was with escape the faith but what now? new band?
to hoodiejames: the escape the fait your hearing prolly isnt craig becuz alot of the shit theyve recorded was with their old vocalist. he just sings more now. which doesnt even make a difference becuz he is amazing at what he does. but i do know what your talking about...
@fishtacosarethetits your saying, he belongs in a band, thats not even his?
I wish Craig could have forgotten bout ETF and stayed with these guys :c
craig is the man..
