16 years after this album was released and I still listen to this song weekly. It’s one of my all time favourites. Everything about it is cool. Billy Talent is so underrated.
I remember giving a presentation about Billy Talent back in school in music lessons, showing this video at the very end because we still had time left. I remember seeing quite some of my classmates headbanging even though it was not their kind of music at all. Billy Talent has given me quite some great and powerful memories tho. Thanks for everything
Listening to your own voice singing back at you can be very uncomfortable. That said, I personally have never headbanged while facepalming while listening. XD
when youre in the studio, its fun listening to it back, but at the same time youre listening to it so intently because you want it to sound how you intended it to. bens just concentrating on it, not painfully listening ! lol
I can only imagine how proud they must have been. This song was a game changer for many of us. I‘ve been a fan since I‘ve first listened to it. Can‘t even imagine a life without Billy Talent anymore. 18 years and many more to come 🖤
2:28 That pick scrape was definitely rerecorded or remixed to be quieter in the final version. I also wonder why they dropped the second verse that was in the demo; it's sick! I'm glad they did shorten the chorus though (demo ran twice as long).
2:44 Watch Jon, He Looked Excited For That Part 😂😂👍👍👍 Great Song Btw, I went To The Concert In Calgary On February 18th, 2017, Best Concert Ive Ever Been To In My Entire Life❤❤❤
I've got a sizeable canon to rock out to until I die now. Thank you guys!! Never cutesy or cheesy, just pure rock shit with depth in those lyrics. I love it.
Kris Novoselic said Kurt Cobain would of loved this song. All the approval anyone needs. It's a 2000s classic. I was 9 years old when they dropped this! Awesome tune
You know this...how? I'm not saying he didn't like it. It just looked like at first he was afraid he wasn't going to. Wouldn't you think the same thing if you were about to listen to your own track for the first time?
That moment you realize you've just created a masterpiece.
Chills at the idea of it.
*when Ian creates a masterpiece.
sorry to ruin your perfect 200 l iikes but THIS!
Haha Ian looks so happy..
I love how excited they look about it.

Billy Talent 2 was/is such a banger. Every song is memorable
Your comment just made me realize we getting old.. 16 years already?
Same bro, I still listen to this album on the reg. Then again, I just discovered them in 2021 😂

“The holy water in his hands could never wash away his sins” is a fucking stellar lyric. Deeeeep shit.
A similarly brilliant lyric in Viking Death March: "the blood on your hands left a trail as you crawled / down on your knees you don't look so tall"
Listening to your own voice singing back at you can be very uncomfortable. That said, I personally have never headbanged while facepalming while listening. XD
Not only singing... When I hear myself speaking in my videos, I would like to delete them and burn down the HDD/SSD
+DJayKay Same here. Hard to even "like" your own voice.
They're focused and trying to completely focus on the sound. We did the same when we recorded our album, it's normal.
thank you billy talent for that endless hours of briliant music
i wish they could life 4ever ! :/
Der Kaffee Me too!
No wonder this album sounded so good. Chris Lord-Alge mixed it. Dudes a BEAST.
They’re such a creative band no matter how old I get I can always appreciate that
they played this yesterday as an opener and it was like BOOOOOOOOM in your face. A fooookin masterpiece. not loosing any of its fascination
when you mute the Video, u can see 5 people headbanging to a random song of your choice...
haha they're all nodding and headbanging lol
How could you not to this tune?
How can anyone not like this band
I love how Ben is 'playing drums' in some parts to the rythm :3
He was a drummer in a highschool band iirc
hahaha this headbanging xD💞 That's why i love this Band so much they're very Funny
the thumbnail looks like Ben is really desperate
like "what am I doing with my life?"
when youre in the studio, its fun listening to it back, but at the same time youre listening to it so intently because you want it to sound how you intended it to. bens just concentrating on it, not painfully listening ! lol

Ben and Ian bopping their heads in the studio is my aesthetic
2:44 Watch Jon, He Looked Excited For That Part 😂😂👍👍👍 Great Song Btw, I went To The Concert In Calgary On February 18th, 2017, Best Concert Ive Ever Been To In My Entire Life❤❤❤
It's easier to tell he's exited at 3:39
Ben at the start looked very: *"Oh god what if it doesn't work out?!"*
**Nods head with face in palms**
Hahahah
I love watching people really In sync with the music and just vibing so hard man. FUCK I love this! >:)
Im so glad i got to grow up on this band.
" Devil in a Midnight Mass" gave everyone headbang
I damn near have to pull over whenever this song comes on the radio.
They had done a 'REACT to music' video before it was popular :D
New video title idea: 5 guys awkwardly bobbing their heads to new song in the studio
still their best song imo
Holy moly, I love to see this reaction!
I've got a sizeable canon to rock out to until I die now. Thank you guys!! Never cutesy or cheesy, just pure rock shit with depth in those lyrics. I love it.
Drum stops at 1:25 and everyone stops moving for a moment. XD
this made me hug my computer screen
this is brilliant!
I don't think I've ever seen Jon smile before :D
NOT THE PRODUCER, THE ENGINEER! CHRIS LORD ALGE
One of the best sounds ever, yes!
outrageous song!
i just woke up today and the first thing i noticed this song was playing in my head
Absolute banger
that head.. ben.
I love how at 0:43 they all start unanimously bobbing their heads
Love to see their heads in rythm
H...F... They've made history.
aw Ben is so sweet :)
i dunno why but i love em
i love Ben's head bobbing
Kris Novoselic said Kurt Cobain would of loved this song. All the approval anyone needs. It's a 2000s classic. I was 9 years old when they dropped this! Awesome tune
that's such a novel compliment that means so muchhh
source?
They look so cute. Ian in the background simling and all of them booble heads
*Starts bobbing head with them"
Holy fuck is right!
This was years ago before the release of Billy Talent 2, he did not have them yet. =)
It sure is!
hahah billy talent better make a 4th album
2:44 that entrance punched Jon in the face.
I like the demo version moreee
@BillyTalent271

Where is Ben's tatoos??? :-O
Drummers always air drum lol
guitar!?
2:02 look at the guy on the right, what he is doin???
what studio is this?
Ben drowned on his voice
Ben *-*
It looks like it was pretty painful for Ben. I imagine it's always difficult to listen to your own song for the first time.
he's not painfully listening, he's focusing on the sound
You know this...how? I'm not saying he didn't like it. It just looked like at first he was afraid he wasn't going to. Wouldn't you think the same thing if you were about to listen to your own track for the first time?
its was in 2004!? He wasn't born with them.
His name ain't Billy Talent, Talent, or Billy. It's Ben
Looks like the producer had a lot of job....
None of them have fake tattoos . This was back in 04 or 05
Hahaha! At the start Ben looks like he's just hating life and bracing himself and it just escalates to him rocking out! XD
I know that... just tried to be funny...sorry! Just thought stupid question => sarcastic answer!
If only they were this good live 😪
they are
he got fake tattoos...he only wears them on stage...
