Guard literally got paid to stand there and rock out in front of the carnage and mayhem that is an Acacia Strain pit. This man was a very happy man this day.
It’s 2020 and I keep coming back to this video. First time seeing this band and after that pit exploded they became my favorite band of all time. To this DAY they’re on my daily playlist.
I had this same similar situation happen to me the 1st time seeing them...now its a daily ritual! And just by luck i get to go see them at a Halloween show on October 27 in Dallas Texas 2023!🤘🤘🤘
15 years since this was released. And still one of the greatest songs. Subjectively of course. But to know this song was old in this recording is special! Thank you uploadman
Love seeing people mosh during the fucking intro before the band even takes the stage. Shit gets me amped. Same with seeing staff at the rail go hard too.
I am somewhere in this crowd. I loved bamboozle I was so upset when they changed it to skate and surf except for the year they held it at six flags that was dope
@adamnitson I love how before Vincent yells "everybody! fucking! MOVE!", it looks like he's texting and just starts fucking killing it all of the sudden
3:16 Now that's how you enjoy a breakdown, respect to those three front row dudes. Edit: and respect to whatever that purple hood dude was doing in the back.
@adamnitson Its because the guy filming is on the side of the stage - so he's getting Kevin's monitor sound of the trigger. The PA speakers are at the front of the stage and sound more natural.
Jesus christ. I swear some kids in that crowd are windmilling so fast they're gonna fuckin take off. It's almost like im watching a helicopter impressions tournament
When lead singers like Vince say shit like "open this up," that just implys hardcore dancing will occur. This is angry, negative music, and hardcore dancing gets all the energy out of the body.
I was here the pit was deadly I remember seeing people getting knocked out and broken noses left and right at one point the pit went all the way to the Ferris whell all the way in the back of the lot

Love seeing people mosh during the fucking intro before the band even takes the stage. Shit gets me amped.

Wowzers Batman, this band never ever disappoints. I love em!
I am somewhere in this crowd. I loved bamboozle I was so upset when they changed it to skate and surf except for the year they held it at six flags that was dope

i don't think i've seen anyone as happy as the kid 3:17. he's jumping for joy! hahahahah

@xraycat18 lmao that was pretty good. Nice catch!
What has this world become hahahah hard core dancing as just takin over everywhere
finally a security guard that likes the music lol
@adamnitson I love how before Vincent yells "everybody! fucking! MOVE!", it looks like he's texting and just starts fucking killing it all of the sudden
3:16 Now that's how you enjoy a breakdown, respect to those three front row dudes.
Edit: and respect to whatever that purple hood dude was doing in the back.
This drummer is a fucking human metronome gosh damn he is on point

this video is legendary (as a band).
haha the staff security dude in the bottom right corner is gettin into it lol
@adamnitson Its because the guy filming is on the side of the stage - so he's getting Kevin's monitor sound of the trigger. The PA speakers are at the front of the stage and sound more natural.
that security guy is a legend!
Ah DL, how we miss you.

Ahahaha the event staff going nuts! LOL.

Jesus christ. I swear some kids in that crowd are windmilling so fast they're gonna fuckin take off. It's almost like im watching a helicopter impressions tournament

You almost NEVER see one of the guards into the music haha props to that guy.

That guard rules. Hes hypin the crowd up even more

He didnt leave, he just doesnt tour as much as he used to, because he is taking care of his son.
Good set, good show. Tore shit up for this band that day as always.
Air Max 90's never lose

I was here the pit was deadly I remember seeing people getting knocked out and broken noses left and right at one point the pit went all the way to the Ferris whell all the way in the back of the lot
Chris Randazzo They always get down. Saw them a bunch of times and that shit was always brutal. So fun.
+crooshflow - Agreed. Every time I've ever seen the Strain shit got rowdy af.
Saw them with oceano a year or two ago. Dislocated limbs, blood and sweat were the majority of the pit. Super rowdy!
@480borat I think throwing down is so much fun! the atmosphere of it all is so sick!
Haha security guard to the right at 1:15 is feelin' it!
@ThePlastino Agreed.
Lol even the event staff guy cant resist The Acacia Strain
oh yeahh, i really wanted to go to that one, but i missed it..did you go to summer slaughter this year? at the roseland?
i love the security guy who clearly wants to be in the pit! ha
that secruity guard is having a blast
@Paintinprettypicture that would be kickass id be down to be staff how could i get in that?
