CHON - Breathe / Dew - Audiotree Live 

Floyd has the most chill, animals as leaders have the least. they've got a lot of AAL in their blood.

I hear ya.

Like a hard chill. XD

Ethan Finchum tosin once said his writing is heavily influenced by chon

Right

The amps are still on. He would still be able to hear all the playing anyways. The headphones are mostly for clicks

@@RogerPham CHON doesn’t use clicks live. They literally just play it out. These are solely for monitoring.

@@RichardGarcia93 I understand for the other instruments but drummers almost always use clicks, just to keep the band going you know. In Thailand I was certain Nathan used clicktrack on his phone behind the drum seat

Like it came from a new dimension

It's a beauty. Everything about it is great

Agreed!

They haven't done a solo that good since then honestly but that doesn't mean their solos are bad. They have awesome solos, but Dew had a certain soul to it that other guitar solos just doesn't have.

@@daoyang223 I love it, but I still think the best one is from Perfect Pillow

Music is for everyone everywhere. Don't be ashamed in liking foreign music

Glad you like it! This is my favorite band!

Duungah!

The call and response near the end of "Breathe" is a great representation of that

+Ahmad Ilyas .. kids that want to start playing guitars to learn CHON? wow! that must be like i need to learn to drive like hamilton to get a driving license.. LOL.... CHON stuff is difficult even to seasoned guitarist..

+Nasi Lemak I disagree, using the "that jazz" or lydian scale can be simple to preform as long as you keep things paced and remember your chords imo. Plus, if you have a will then there's always a way!

+Nasi Lemak But what he's trying to say is what if there were people who were trying to start a band that had a union like Chon? There would be less disagreements and more music (despite the bassist who left). You dont have to play progressive mathcore or Satriani to actually say, "Hey, I play the guitar".

+purplekisses ^ this guys gets the point.

Umm...they've got some pretty expensive gear here.

You make a good point, but their equipment is still top of the line, hence, not cheap

i think u all get the point. cheap was never what i claimed their gear to be

***** for the longest time erick was using an rg321 and rg421, both around $300. mario used a rg421 (he still might).

Corey Florucci preach son! preach!!

They’re tuned in E standard, too!

What I love most about this group is their music.

Couldn't agree more!

+Josh Shipps Maybe try listening to more AAL? I agreed with you when I first got into prog, but the more I listen the better AAL gets. Meanwhile CHON is just amazing from the get go, so they're always great.

What I like about STS though is that they actually print there music and you can buy it directly from them. You can both learn the music yourself (both music and tab) and support the band. But anyway, really looking at the music and being able to really see what they're playing is amazing. And from a bass players perspective this band leaves me wanting more. But that's just their style, and I still love it. But I'm definitely not lacking anything from either STS or AAL, maybe you're missing something :) Maybe it's just a style preference :)

hey what does aal and sts stand for im looking for new music and I love these guys so anyone compared to them im in!

+David Roe Animals As Leaders and Scale The Summit ;) enjoy

Exactly! and all of the people who complain about his "lack of technicality" should peep 2:29-2:39

951258tike22 LESS MEANS MORE. I think thats something bassist tend to not understand..

Zachary Relles I think those are guitarists who couldn't find a real bass player

Yeah I realize they've parted ways with Drew since this comment, plus I've still never seen them live, but judging by the audiotree video I stand by my statement. Drew worked well with CHON

@@951258tike22 this comment is 6 years old now so context is different. But Crawford was definitely an upgrade for Chon. Drew is awesome and has great energy on stage but he wasn't writing his own parts and now they have Anthony Crawford, who I consider a genius. You've definitely heard the self titled by now and you know the bass is just nuts on there.

i will forever love you for this comment.

does anybody know what it is that they're playing there?

Conor Hines it’s the last half of Breathe

I agree

It's sometimes done really well with an actual double bass setup not just double pedal

The drummer is a monster....

DUDE! yes its just hits different then ther rest of the song

YASSSSSSS every song sounds so much fucking better than the studio ones

Lital Cherny do not forget they were having shit audio quality, the Last album "grow" sounds way better

Idk mountains of creation has some bangin drums, and they dont play the double bass in newborn sun. Its sad

***** Best lyrics ever bro. They gimme da feelz ;)

Masheww73 I think the lyrics are useless when the music speaks for itself.

Masheww73 haha i was wondering why they even setup mics. Either way still amazing.

***** the mics are just so they can chat in between songs

a break a pause Engineers mind at work... Cheers

he dropped them when he headbang :D

goodbye nathan's ears haha

But still he managed to play it still!

thanks

+Adrian Lindorfer This video can answer how we mic drums for our sessions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XGZP7u2Uj2Y.html Im sure someone in this thread can help with the specific drums and cymbals Nathan uses

cl.ly/022q472s3D2n3o2b3t2e thats everything before newborn sun

Wow. Just a hint heavier. I've never heard the stuff before Newborn Sun.

what. I got that link straight from the bands reddit ama.

I’m pretty sure all the live versions are a little faster

Are they not allowed to talk to the crowd in between songs haha

This is one song of 8 songs they performed on our live show, Audiotree Live. You can watch the entire show at our Website. They have mics because our host of the show asks them questions in between the songs.

Audiotreetv And doesn't Drew sing in one of the songs?

***** Yeah in Ecco.

***** Yeah, but they didn't perform it during this session.

Guitarist is the older brother.

Because they are the same.

coz they're the super chon bros!

son and dad

they invented cloning

Leon De Castro lol

Tom Stavek feels like it

+Brian Pfaff just a demo
