Jia was 100% correct bringing up Karma. That music video captures what made the band so likeable in the first place and it is the best example of what they represent as a band
You have no idea how incredible it is to see my footage be used for my all time favourite band…. And to see my name in the credits… incredible. Viva The Underdogs!
Man this is everything I miss about old parkway. Flip flops (thongs), surfboards & surf attire used to be the norm. All about having a good laugh! Bring it back! 🤙
The band we loved isn't coming back. Most we can hope for is an album anniversary show or two but after 4 boring albums and rock star status I've given up. Still wish them the best but I dont think they care how much the OG fans loved them both personality wise and musically. Im so happy I saw them twice pre 2010. Saw them headline an old convenience store turned venue touring Horizons Jan 08'. Amazing show.
Winston could’ve at least put his phone away while being so negative about everything that Parkway used to be. 100% agreeing with Luke and Pie on this one!
It’s genuinely saddening to see him be such a buzz kill. It was a genuinely fun idea which completely fit their DNA. I honestly don’t care at all for their modern production. Some guys having fun messing about was so much more relatable and authentic.
Yeah idk why he’s so upset about the idea. Seen Avenged Sevenfold awhile ago and they were all in German attire cause they watched the movie beer fest and it was awesome and funny
As parkway fan from killing with a smile I’m pretty disappointed in Winston for not doing the wetsuits! But an awesome video either way. Don’t take yourselves too seriously!
Also I don’t think that wearing the wetsuits would be in any way saying you don’t care about the show. I would have seen it as staying true to your roots.
He could of just been honest and said 'i dont wanna wear a wetsuit ill feel like an idiot' rather than try and justify it with some grandiose bs about their statement in england
Winston definitely just wanted to wear his 'front man' outfit - If you're going to do something silly, THIS was the show to do it at. Ain't nobody looking back at this moment in 20 years thinking "I'm glad we didn't go with the more fun idea".
Bang on target. I just watched iron maiden last night. They played wasted years. I know not one of them has a regret. Do what you do and enjoy every second. It’s all gone too quickly.
In what universe would people think you were taking the piss? You came up in the scene as a local metalcore band who loved surfing, even had a whole music video about surfing. You've done the big stage sets with fire/weird bulletproof vests recently, and now you're going back to your roots for a single show, because it's a secret slot and a one off, how would that ever be seen as taking the piss? Plus it's an English crowd, of course they'll get the joke. Lighten up Winston sheesh.
I miss the fun PWD with all the inflatables and their mates in costumes crowd surfing and stuff, pyros are cool but anyone can do it! If youre having fun we're having fun!
As lame as it sounds that whole conversation was really depressing to watch. Seems like the band still has that spirit we all loved even if the music is boring now. Then gets shit on by Winston who proceeds to go on stage looking like he's in a Ja Rule video. Met them headlining in 08 and once again after and they were such genuine, fun people and this was really sad to see.
@@TheBonboni11 It would seem to be the case but at the same time the rest of the band went along. I get that they wanted to make a living playing music but they've done that and are pretty well off. Why can't they release a return to form album now?
I'm got so excited too see the footage of them playing in wetsuits. Such a shame they didn't. I think everyone would have loved it. Couldn't be more PWD then this.
Sad. I was one of the OGs since the Killing/Dont close your eyes days and despite not liking the music, still rooted for them. Its hard to do that when the genuine, fun loving people get shot down for the sake of an image they are trying to convey.
If Adam D can come out in shows in a cape and his underwear on the outside I dont think some wetsuits are gonna bother anyone. Sad to see Winston so concerned about his image.
Winston is one amazing front man but idk a single fan that wouldn't have found bringing the wet suits and karma video aspects to stage disrespectful. That is how the majority of Parkway fans perceive them.
Boys. You started as just lads having a fun time. Keep making music that way. Keep performing that way. The best live showni ever seen. When the vand is having a blast the crowd will follow! Bring back the atlus/deep blue days!
Would have loved it just as much if not even more with the wetsuits! Everyone fell in love with Parkway for the music and the Vibes they have always brought! Never lose the lightheartedness of being a band! And never change!
I didn't see the whole video yet but I think Winston is a bit too worried about wearing wetsuits or not. PwD are surboys right? wetsuits are a part of that.
A bit embarrassing to see really. Them being that way was a huge part of their success. They used to laugh about serious band names like ‘Death Piano’ and wearing all black like typical metal bands and how that wasn’t them, and now here’s Winston guilt tripping them into doing just that. That was an awkward watch and would be sad to see for any long time fan
@@PacketOfCerealWatching that conversation made me so uncomfortable, it would have been so fun to see them all enjoying themselves in wetsuits but Winston really dragged down the vibe
@@northlanedarko771agreed. Its cringey and has been done to death in my opinion. Having that chilled, party vibe with flip flops and surfboards separated them from all the other heavy bands
I get the point about Winston and the wetsuits. But in the end, these ideas and just being yourself, is what made you so popular and loved as a band. I would've loved seeing you in wetsuits while moshing around :D
This is very telling. Winston putting a damper on the idea of the wetsuits is a big metaphor for how the band is now. I became a fan of 5 guys that didn't take themselves too seriously and played kick ass music. Now they play mediocre music and Winston wears combat boots and bulletproof vest in a non comedic way. Get back to your roots boys, both performance wise and more important musically. The old school fans are dying for it.
That's your opinion, I was in my 20's when killing with a smile was released and heard them on JJJ and went and bought the CD, I loved every album and still do, if you can't handle some of their songs having some slower sections and some singing than that's pretty fucking narrow minded musically and pretty boring, they weren't better then, they are better musicians and performers now and highly professional, if you don't like it any more well that's your opinion and your bad luck, it's got nothing to do with them not being any good
found parkway when I was 14 Changed my view on music forever. I still find myself picking apart the songs and just being blown away too this day. Sleepwalker was fucking great the lyrics were badass. too many too add but I could go on.
I was at this show and I have to say, people at Download would have probably laughed along with the joke if you guys did wear wet suits. It was a great set either way though!
I think its insulting to assume metalheads wouldnt get it. What made pwd refreshing was the fact they were normal dudes having a laugh but still making sick music. I think theyve got caught up in being a cliche metal band with their shift in music and metal "branding". Its a shame. And wtf is that bulletproof vest. Hopefully they can find their way back to what made then a great band. Shame that winston was to worried about what people would think here.
First watched this band in a small club, went to their 10 year anniversary show, with countless of shows in between, now going to their 20 year show next month, Pwd forever 🤟🏻🤟🏻
What is Winston's problem here? Would have been so funny to see them playing in wetsuits etc, it's not like this was the biggest headline concert of their lives or something. Also don't really like him making all the decisions even though majority wanted to do the opposite. He literally IS the party pooper here
When started Winston to be that negative? Dude is wearing that crappy vest and fury coats what is just ridiculous. Taking himself too serious. This was awkward to see.
Winston used to be the man. Literally hanging out with me at warped tour and calling me out from stage and just being awesome and humble. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but he sucks so much now. The stardom totally went to his head. I hate it. I miss old days.
Met him and the band twice and couldn't have been nicer. Even watched part of Bad Religion's set with him at Warped tour. What happened to you man? I understand its your livelihood and you seem embarrassed by anything pre 2010 but get over yourself. The fans around for the fun times are the reason you get to make the bucks and do SWAT cosplay now. If it wasn't for those times you wouldn't have had this opportunity now. Seems like he's forgotten the journey a bit.
I totally get where Winston is coming from, I can understand it and relate to it but I disagree with the final outcome. I think it would have been MEGA for Parkway to have played a show, pretty much how they used to. I personally really miss that fun side of the band. Not saying I don't find them fun now, but bring back the inflatables and the surfer vibe. Even for just one tour. I really think the fans would have gone wild for it. Still, an awesome set and can't believe it won't be yet that you play another show in England. Hurry back! Watched one of your live shows recently on RUclips and you guys sounded sicker than ever. 🖤
I really wish they had worn the wetsuits. Parkway Drive are my favourite band and the reason I fell in love with them was because they weren't too serious. The music was serious, the guys weren't. I love where the band is and what they do now, it's amazing to see them so big, but this was the perfect opportunity to give people a taste of what Parkway Drive used to be.
For what its worth, Motionless in white has recently taken a step back from the huge productions and makeup/costumes, and the overall expression online is that Chris looks happy and healthier. The pressure of perception is heavy, boys. But we all fell in love with your music 20 years ago because you were relateable, fun, and the music crushed. Dont lose yourselves. Were gonna be here either way.
Was in this melee right at the front and it was utter glorious carnage. Such an incredible set next time you are back hopefully its headlining main stage.
Waking up on Sunday morning to see the tease video I legit shit my pants!! Amazing performance I will never forget! And that backdrop was sick so aussie!!
I remember the home is for the heartless documentary… that show in the Byron bay high school with all your homies dressed up dancing and the sea /surf theme was so cool, cool contrast between funny laidback and the heaviness of the songs… kinda miss that
Its a suprise show, honestly shoulve done the wetsuits and the whole thing. Its a fun show not the headliner big boi show. Shouldve taken the piss and had fun with it. People will still see parkway as a serious band.
I was in a group of people with 0 interest in seeing Parkway Drive at download. The wetsuits would've been something people were talking about and we would've gone to check it out. Fun is what everyone wants at a festival like Download. It would've made a much bigger impact and made the band stand out. Whats more annoying is then the man looked a prat himself anyway.
The best thing this band can do for their success imo is to have fun with it the same way they used to. big budgets are cool but that was never what this band was about or what brought it to where it is today. There is something cool and unique about a bunch of aussie surfers in a shredding metalcore band. arguably it was your unique selling point. the fun loving, care free attitude came through in your performances and enticed a lot of new fans in. If parkway ever decide to be themselves again and fuck what the promotors and investors tell them they should dress like, I'll be there for it every damn time because man do i miss that band.
Been going to Download since 2005 and I can tell you Winston is worried about nothing. I mean I respect how and why he was worried about it, he wants to show maximum respect, but he doesn't know the DL audience. The crowd only wants to see the band and see them having a great time. The whole "prestige" of DL is overblown. It's just a big party. :)
I'm a surfer and it's no joke how warm you can get in wetsuit out of the water on a warm day. Having said that they probably could have worn them half way down if needed and that would have been cool still. I see Wintson's perspective but honestly everyone would have been cool with that, sounds like a good laugh.
Winston.....mate you can't knock down the boys wettie idea then dress up as Freddy Mercury.. don't forget where you came from, don't close your eyes era.. IMO reading these comments you have a large fan base wanting old Parkway back ... Thongs singlets and no care !!!!
Love you fellas from Salt Lake City, I'm flying to the San Bernardino show Oct. 12 just to see your only USA tour date. Going to be awesome, get to see Kitty as well. Then hopefully up to Sacramento to see Disturbed at Aftershock.
"why are they joking" um cause ur a bunch of dudes from aus. the fact you guys have fun, makes going to the shows even more fun for us. if you guys came out in full scuba suits that would be fucking amazing
Wet suits would've been jokes., turning up for a surprise slot like you've just come from the beach (god knows which one in England 😂) hell I remember at Sonisphere Winston orchestrating a fuckin rubber dinghy crowd surfing race. Would've been great.
Jia was 100% correct bringing up Karma. That music video captures what made the band so likeable in the first place and it is the best example of what they represent as a band
You have no idea how incredible it is to see my footage be used for my all time favourite band…. And to see my name in the credits… incredible. Viva The Underdogs!

Winston has a crack at the wetsuits and THEN WEARS THOSE PANTS HAHAHHAHHAA
No kidding! Taking the piss out of my fucking eyeballs dude those are terrible!
Looks like he's part of some 90s boy band lmao, actual terrible take.
Winston acting like a 90 year old man
Someone has to be the responsible one lol.
@@walpurgisnacht9234 no they dont.
It’s genuinely saddening to see him be such a buzz kill. It was a genuinely fun idea which completely fit their DNA.
I honestly don’t care at all for their modern production. Some guys having fun messing about was so much more relatable and authentic.
and then he goes out full white dressed with a "bulletproof" vest for most of the shows and think that looks cool hahah
Yeah idk why he’s so upset about the idea. Seen Avenged Sevenfold awhile ago and they were all in German attire cause they watched the movie beer fest and it was awesome and funny

"It's still us, its still in our DNA" You've no idea how hard that hits....
wetsuits would've been great
Guys have fun, dont worry about other opinions, your fans love you no matter how much you fuck around!
Tbh, I think Winston totally overreacted because of the wetsuits 😅
They would have been a perfect fit to the surfboard as a backdrop
When you start caring what people think, you're way too concerned about maintaining an image. That is Winston now.
He could of just been honest and said 'i dont wanna wear a wetsuit ill feel like an idiot' rather than try and justify it with some grandiose bs about their statement in england
we surfed all the way here from AUS!!
Winston definitely just wanted to wear his 'front man' outfit - If you're going to do something silly, THIS was the show to do it at. Ain't nobody looking back at this moment in 20 years thinking "I'm glad we didn't go with the more fun idea".

Exactly
They as a whole have lost their way but have "success." To OG fans it really stings but to them I guess its what they want. Sad.
Agreed
Well put
Winston was hardly in the video except criticising the others, and being a "fun" band. Its sad to see tbh
Watching winston complain about the wetsuits was so embarrassing to watch
I miss the fun PWD with all the inflatables and their mates in costumes crowd surfing and stuff, pyros are cool but anyone can do it! If youre having fun we're having fun!
its funny cause winston was basically denying what made the band in the first place... That ligut heartwdness, fun apirits, etc
100%. That was a sad conversation to see for any long time fan

Was this a tough watch for anyone else? I was cringing when the wetsuit idea got shot down😵 They totally should've done it
Sad. I was one of the OGs since the Killing/Dont close your eyes days and despite not liking the music, still rooted for them. Its hard to do that when the genuine, fun loving people get shot down for the sake of an image they are trying to convey.
Winston has always been cringe
The irony of Winston crying over the wetsuits on stage considering how horrendous he dresses 😂
Winston pisses on the wetsuits and then looks like a backup dancer for Sisqo.
Yeah, hes such a nerd
Jajaja....looks like an outfit for Ricky Martin ..
Jeeeeeez, didn't expect Winston to be such a wowser.
No your right, that jacket is way funnier than a wet suit
Don’t forget your roots boys, I see what Winston was saying but use definitely should of wore the wettys 😂😂
If Adam D can come out in shows in a cape and his underwear on the outside I dont think some wetsuits are gonna bother anyone. Sad to see Winston so concerned about his image.

Being in that crowd I was hoping for the old parkway feel with wetties, crowdsurfing sharks and more! Shoulda done it, Download would have loved it
How it used to be!

Looks like I’m not the only one who would of supported/appreciated the wetsuits. No one would have been pissed off at all 😊

its what 20 years in 'the industry' does unfortunately. They're at the point now where they're a brand and a business churning out radio rock.
Met him and the band twice and couldn't have been nicer. Even watched part of Bad Religion's set with him at Warped tour. What happened to you man? I understand its your livelihood and you seem embarrassed by anything pre 2010 but get over yourself.

Deadly! Classical music is metal in it's purest form.

I'm a surfer and it's no joke how warm you can get in wetsuit out of the water on a warm day. Having said that they probably could have worn them half way down if needed and that would have been cool still. I see Wintson's perspective but honestly everyone would have been cool with that, sounds like a good laugh.
Winston.....mate you can't knock down the boys wettie idea then dress up as Freddy Mercury.. don't forget where you came from, don't close your eyes era.. IMO reading these comments you have a large fan base wanting old Parkway back ... Thongs singlets and no care !!!!
Wet suits would of been brill and something that no one would ever forget
Winston is like a Grandpa , who watched a new Balenciaga fashion show and puts his old "rock" pants. Miss old PWD with their fun and energy((
Love you fellas from Salt Lake City, I'm flying to the San Bernardino show Oct. 12 just to see your only USA tour date. Going to be awesome, get to see Kitty as well. Then hopefully up to Sacramento to see Disturbed at Aftershock.
bringing surfboards to england is crazy haha
Our south west coast is pretty sick for surfing. But our weather is still shit 😂
id bet you could work with a board company and sell that taped PWD as a signature board, probably do pretty well
I see now who's in charge of Parkway's creative direction. Luke asking permission to wear the wetsuits and even to enter the stage made it very clear.
Looking forward to new material from these guys !!

Still my favourite band after almost 20 years ❤️🤘✊
this huge band , acting like a normal small band having the same discussions , is internet gold !!!
"why are they joking" um cause ur a bunch of dudes from aus. the fact you guys have fun, makes going to the shows even more fun for us. if you guys came out in full scuba suits that would be fucking amazing
Wet suits would've been jokes., turning up for a surprise slot like you've just come from the beach (god knows which one in England 😂) hell I remember at Sonisphere Winston orchestrating a fuckin rubber dinghy crowd surfing race. Would've been great.
Maaaaaate, the Soni slot was legendary! 15 years ago?! Bring back that parkway..
@@mtb-mania 13 I think. 2011? Still. Fuckin ages ago lol. I think Atlas must have been the new album at that point
@@danbenfield8532 it was 2011. I remember cos I was up at 2am watching it live streamed. It’s on RUclips you can watch again
They're a serious "metal band" now lol
Lighten up Winston!!
So bummed!! I was getting amped up thinking holy shit the PwD that we all love is back how sick is this going to be!! Winston 'The Grinch' McCall...
I was just outside the tent in the mud what a set dudes
This makes me feel like winston has had a lot more to do with the direction of the music than the other memebers
More of this!
