Oh George.. The fans will always be there! We will never stop loving Alexisonfire, doesn't matter what new music comes along
There's a reason why these guys are called the only band ever. This album is beautiful from beginning to end, it was an absolute masterpiece. I couldn't put in order the albums that I like the most about AOF, is just that feeling like if they were a different band in every one of them so listening to AOF in shuffle it feels like listening to a mix of a thousand prodigious bands. I love you guys.
Well Fuckin said friends. ❤️
Yeah I think Otherness is one of the best albums they have ever released. No pressure to be the band they were 15-20 years ago, just doing whatever they want and doing it brilliantly
My thoughts exactly. 🥂 Cheers
Duude, are they really called the only band ever? It makes so much sense. When in their career did they catch that term?
Well said
Otherness hit me hard, without warning. I didn’t know what to expect but it very quickly became a part of my life and one of my favourite albums of all time… I truly felt you guys put so much energy into it and not care if it was a commercial success or not. Because it was for you, by you. 🙏
As someone who has listened to the album everyday since the release , I will say otherness is a masterpiece
The squeaking of the leather jackets really got me lol
😂 love your videos and music too
Don't wait too much to give us another album!
'Otherness' is a masterpiece. I know that word is overused these days, but it truly is. Any time somebody asks me what my favourite song is, I struggle to come up with a definitive answer. Every song is great in its own right. Gave me chills listening to this album for the first time!
George nailed it. I was watching Much Music when I was a kid in junior high and saw Pulmonary Archery super late at night on some 'New Music' show and was changed forever. It was the first time I ever heard screaming like that in music and I was so put off and so enthralled at the same time. I couldn't stop thinking about it and became hooked on the band and heavy music from that moment on.
Even though Otherness is not my favorite album it truly has a more mature sound and this interview really shows where it comes from. It just adds to the likeliness of not only the album but the band as well. You guys are great and are a of friendship and musicianship. Long live Alexisonfire.
So blessed to have a band as unique as AOF to give us an equally unique album. Such a cool time to be a fan
Only band ever. I was laughing, happy and almost crying thru the entire video. I'm glad to be a fan and to have seen y'all live.
Perhaps it’s only me who feels like this but I feel like every member of the band has evolved into their own really specific person at this stage, who brings something so obviously them and that now pushes them into this other place, and clearly they listen to each other so much and there’s a harmony, perhaps; “oh Wade has this thing” where it’s just like ok what’s your vision Wade and let’s go with it. I fucking love this album, already it’s really special to me
Wow, what an incredible interview! I loved the vulnerability the guys showed sharing their experience of making the album, and you could feel the admiration they have for each other. One Of my favourite bands of all time!
Close ups of Dal gives Obi vibes.
This group of dudes is so important to me. For the past 20 years I have been faithfully absorbing everything they put out, playing these albums front to back and never have I gotten tired of their stuff. Quite literally the best song writing in the world, imo. Finally got to see them live in New Orleans last year, it all culminated and led up to that night, the best live performance I’ve ever seen and probably will ever see.
Guys, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for existing.
Georges hair absolutely fabulous omg
This needs to be 3 hours long. This has been the most wonderful thing I've watched in a very very long time. Seeing the boys light up at so many different points in the video warmed my soul.
I've heard of artists reflecting on their previous works after many years of playing together. One that comes to mind is Thrice. There's always been a pressure to make part two of "The Artist in the Ambulance" but we all that will never happen.
Crisis is that album for me. It was my favourite album. It's a lot of people's favourite album. Even after being an Alexis fan since seeing Pulmonary Archery on a little 13" green see-through plastic tv in 2001 for the first time.
But Otherness. It's perfect. Somehow you guys have done the impossible. You've outdone your legendary acts of work. And this documentary I got to learn how you somehow managed to surpass a 10/10. I'm just going to start referring to things as an "otherness out of ten" because that is now the true benchmark of excellence.
Thank you for this. So very much.
Thrice will forever be the most crucial band of ny life. They were my introduction to faster and heavier punk with Identity Crisis and then metal influences in The Illusion of Safety when I was 14. Seen them 26 times and everytime I do, the warm feeling of my teen years and excitement comes back. I listen to far less post hardcore how. Alot of Death and Black Metal and a good amount of Tom Waits, folk and Jackson Browne stuff, but Thrice and Refused shaped my way of thinking about music.
I was one of those kids who saw you guys on Much Music and was like "Yeah that's who I am now" 😄
You guys forever changed my taste in music and I'm eternally grateful, also Otherness is amazing 🤘
Do you know how to find a video? It's gotta be out there somewhere! EDIT: Found it! Credit to @Falconetti182 - ruclips.net/video/25ghi4zdBb8/видео.html
@@donmega054 🤘🤘
otherness was amazing, blew me away with the expansion and experimentation of AOF. New elements of psych, shoegaze, and even some black metal esque distortion and atmosphere, mixed with the amazing sound that AOF already presented broke the fucking mold. amazing job lads and cheers to that.
AOF was the first concert I ever went to. This was in like grade 10 high school. I was stoked to go see them on this recent tour. Made it out to the Detroit show. I got there wicked early and alone since my brother wasn't able to make it. Held an amazing spot just behind the floor so I had a good view above everyones head.The auditorium went black and after a minute or two of ambient noise the curtain dropped and the room flooded with light. ALRIGHT! THIS IS FROM OUR HEARTS! Drunks lovers sinners and saints opened the show and I found myself holding back tears. It was pure nostalgic emotion. I love this band for music and moments that make me feel alive.
Watched you guys in Edmonton last night and you guys and the crowd was definitely in the pocket. Definitely stole the show
It would have been fascinating to be a fly on the wall in the studio. When the world was stuck holding its breath and nobody knew where we were all headed. All the while, these dudes congregated from their corners of that world once more and focused their powers like some kind of megazord in secret to form an absurdly fine work of art. Just hearing them talk about the energy of that experience, it gives me a new-found appreciation for the album.
Hearing Wade reference my favourite sitcom made me like him even more. What a man of culture.
Steeles coat is so squeeky hahahaha love it
An actual masterpiece, especially considering the context of the timing of it, and the break Alexis had
When Otherness was released the album kinda hit me like a brick, this band has provided the soundtrack of so many stages of my live, and it is so hard for me to describe how much this band and their music means to me.
Absolute perfect album 🤘🔥❤️👌🤟
These guys are the perfect recipe to a very intriguing sound that seems to roll a snowball of musical evolution that just works. Im excited to see where this goes next. Im sure behind the scenes money is king at the end of the day but you can truly see a passion in their hearts for music, creativity and art. And that alone is a rare and astounding thing in new music today. “Keep on rocking in the free world.”
The album is amazing, the songs just fit together so seamlessly. I always listen to it front to back and it feels like one big epic song. One of my favourite albums, definitely!
I'm so excited that they made this video, gave some depth into an amazing album! Thanks guys
Fingers crossed they start playing world stops turning live one day. Thanks guys, will see ya in Melbourne
Seriously, that song hits me like a fucking brick. Was sad it wasn't played when toured
Didn't even know a new record had dropped, seen it at sunrise and instantly picked up without a listen and glad I did.. Was enthralled all the way through and still digesting it day by day.
You gave me so much joy to release this album after a long break. I started to listen AOF in 2004 and your music is a soundtrack of my life since then and a great inspiration for my filmmaking career. Thank you, guys and don't stop :) Greetings from Poland.
hope (and know) these dudes created something we can listen to our whole lives. not just a month or two. come back to as we age and grow from and within. beauty
Now all we need is a song with Dal, George and Wade singing and screaming at the same time while Steele and Rat have a solo.
Alexisonfire are In a league of there own that's for sure,they pour everything into there music,have all there albums.
The first time I heard Sweet Dreams…I had chills. I had never got it from any song from Crisis, or Old Crows…it was the chills I got from Watch Out. No disrespect to those other records, it just took me BACK, to seeing these guys as a kid at a YMCA in Burlington, and seeing these guys in a fresh new light.
That to me is unbelievable. Not a lot of bands do that for me. I sincerely hope they keep making music.
AOF one of my most favorite bands and they're Canadian just like me
the only band ever 🖤🖤 (i love george's hair btw lol)
In Rio was insane! I'll never forget.
the most beautiful 12 years (since dogs blood) waiting, thanks guys
so this album coming out of the blue during a very rough time of my life was a bit like a light in a dark tunnel. the fresh wind in a dark cavern that you've been trapped in for so long that you've lost track of time
it was a bit magical
You mentioned being young and impressionable - the "No Transitory" music video on Much Music was my entry in, and I never looked back 💕
We fuck with it Wade 😊
Otherness is playing in my car since release date. Im driving average 2 hours a day. First saw u in 05 supporting rise against in Front of a 200 people Crowd. Didnt know you at this point. Fan ever since. Been stoked to see u in hamburg couple weeks ago. Hope u come back soon. Covid really hit me hard mentally, like no concerts no social life and all that stuff. But thanks Covid for this masterpiece.
watched the whole thing with a smile on my face, felt like being part of the only band ever. 🐐
such a cool video to watch as an old time fan. It's great to see you guys together.
Just hearing this masterpiece for the first time today, getting some massive Alice in chain vibes 👌🏼
You guys are absolutely incredible. Soooo soo glad I got to see you guys again this time with billy talent in st kits. Fucking loved every second of it. Amazing show
THE ONLY FOOLS EVER
we the internet loves you alexisonfire
Sounds like they had a blast with a lot of wish fulfilment and branching out. 👍
Proud of growing up with you guys
Prince, the artist formerly know as price, the artist..... please cover purple rain !!!!!!

Another Boston visit this year please!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The only band ever
I’d love these instrumental tracks playing
Please do a cover of purple rain !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherness is a fantastic record. Thank you!!
❤
Not Wade rocking the Juicy J skull shirt
its great to see chumlee come out of his cage
LOL i met Dallas at a festival - Aftershock and i didnt feel like he was a huge weirdo! 🤣🤣
@19:03 and Hastings hasn't said at word...lol
wade make me laugh to death 💀 😂
I don’t know if Steele knows it, but he’s likely wearing a Windward flying jacket from the 40s or 50s. Probably worth about $500. Hahahaha.
I’m assuming this is the performance on Much Music they’re talking about: ruclips.net/video/25ghi4zdBb8/видео.html
MY MAN THANK YOU.

🤟🤟🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
lmfao @ 11:12 (watch 5 min early for buildup)
❤️🤘🫡🦧
1st! 😀❤️
Solid album. I like it more than Old Crows but it’s not better than anything else they’ve done
Come to Saskatchewan...why do you guys hate western Canada?
Right?! its been since like 09 since theyve been here
What is going on with the video effects in these videos. It's waaaaay too much. Looks awful. I assume these clips were shot on various old cameras or something, but if this is all being faked in post-production it's even worse.
Would fucking love it if theonlybandever decided to NOT play the same day as fucking Metallica. Other than the latter being absolute trash, giving UK fans to see you again, would be really. Fucking. Nice. Especially since tickets for Saturday are now rare as rocking horse shit.
The making of the “worst album by Alexisonfire”
I'd give that spot to the cardinals record.
I think they took that only band ever shit a little too serious back then, this record is alright but it's old man music, not progressing rock and roll
They shine on slow songs, but I think we all know why that is, Texas is the reason lol
Switching out a humbucker guitar for a single coil strat wasnt the move...
Wade plays beautiful axes but damn it took alot of depth out of the sound
Still an amazing band, can't wait to see what's next though
George's hair is gorgeous. am sad now just cut mine after 2 years of growing.
The Only Band Ever
We are not the kids we used to be
