To this day this is still one of the most impressive live performances I've ever seen. The sheer skill and stamina all these dudes have to constantly run around while still nailing vocals and progressions. That shit is crazy hard.
Very few bands out there can even approach the level of energy that these guys do while still nailing absolutely every aspect of their music. Will forever respect and love SotY
paul yoda no disrespect to AC/DC or anything, but they definitely don't have this much energy live. Sure Angus runs around the stage and hops on one leg and all of that, but how many backflips and rolls and crazy jump kicky things do they do in their sets? Energywise there isn't much of a comparison...
paul yoda he was talking about the energy of their live performance. And if it would've been about the music quality, neither band is that good from a technical standpoint.
I AM FROM ARGENTINA AND THIS GOLDEN ERA WAS THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE, THIS BAND TOGETHER WITH KORN, LIMP BIZKIT AND DEFTONES MADE MY DAYS SO HAPPY THAT I COULD CRY NOW, NEW METAL WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
Just heard the news Greg just passed away. Condolences. Cheers for this epic live! Have not seen a single band right now as worthy as the energy of these guys.
Rest In Peace to Greg! He had already left the band before the writing and recording of this debut album that they are playing songs from, and is not present at this live show, He was in the band from their formation in 2000 until 2002. This album came out in 2003. Story Of The Year is forever a Top 5 Band in all Rock History, #1 in Post-Hardcore! Peace.
These guys were amazing live, the energy and the entertainment factor was always so high. Flipping over each other, I have seen them throw guitars at each other and keep playing... switch instruments and keep playing. One of the best live bands I have seen to this day.
I remember seeing them so many times when I was a kid they were so entertaining yet would stay on point with their sound! They must've put so many hours into their stage presence and it really shows! Long live story of the year!
Man, a guy from the crowd climbed to the stage, danced with one band member and dived right into the crowd (no pun intended). How I wish live shows were like this now. Pure love and passion
he writes basically all of the melodies for their music. hes by far the most musically gifted member. his name is phillip sneed. hes no longer with the band though
Thanks for uploading this one. I was at this show. It was insane. The band sounded incredible. At one point, they started going backstage and bringing random things on stage. The energy these guys brought live was unmatched.
Brilliant. Absolutely amazing how they can put on that kind of stage performance and still nail the songs. I mean the harmonies are perfect, even after a barell roll three backflips and a cartwheel.
if you like rock , and seen these guys live, its just intense.. incredible performance as musicians, the crowds reactions to the songs... use to listen to these guys in highschool when they were called big blue monkey.. before they were story of the year... saw them live when I was 15, and now im 25, will be 26 in December.. use to listen to them everyday waiting for the bus lol
He was actually the other contender to be in Anberlin when they replaced the guitar player during Cities era, but ended up being Christian from Acceptance. yeah Phil was a fan early on.
Andrew Harper fuck yeah not like these days. fuckin concerts sucks kids putting up therw phones recording shits i miss these kind of conerct i miss rock era
My senior year I transfered to another school and went from going to hip hop type of parties and to American pie parties holding a cup with liquor listening to alternative rock, lol I didn't like it at first but then I start listening to it these guys ..trapt,Yellowcard 2001-2006 great era
I started to listen them back in 2019 (when I was 14) because of the Need for Speed OST "And the hero will drown", and... damn, this is my favorite band. Watching this, I really wish they can do another performance... could be a dream for me, being there. :'D
19 dislikes r u kidding me??? Dude does a backflip off his amp + all the other antics going on…. i bet those 19 people can't even do a cartwheel… Long Live SOTY
Do you still remember back when days were longer, dreams were bigger then The weight of the world had not yet landed on the shoulders of a man I thought that time stood still, sheltered, protected They never told me this would end or that the leaves would fall again So take me back, back to better days Cause this time between is wasting me away Take me back, when we were not afraid Cause this time between is wasting me away......
Despite their skills & everything else, they're the fittest & most energetic band I've ever known. I'll always be a huge fan UNTIL THE DAY I DIE by giving them my respect. 🤟🏻
