The Rise And Fall Of Chiodos 

Alls Well That Ends Well is literally a perfect record. Every single song on that album is incredible. The neoclassical guitar and piano elements made their music so pretty and elegant. I want more clown riffs! 😭 Jason come back!!!

as someone who is a young chiodos fan i really appreciate you making this video😭😭 i never really see anyone talk about them and it’s really a shame

First time stumbling across your channel but I’m glad someone is doing videos on old school emo/screamo bands. Chiodos and Alesana got me through so much, still love them till this day 😫💓

The fact that Craig is doing a solo album reimagining stuff from chiodos/drugs etc is making my inner emo scream.

"I Didn't Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard" is bar none my favorite overly long silly emo song title.

Jason Hale is such an underrated guitarist and I love that you point that out. I grew up in Corpus Christi, TX where he is originally from and would randomly see him at the guitar center from time to time. When I started college I took an audio engineering class and Jason was in it. I thought it was absolutely hilarious that he was very nonchalant about it and that no one in the class knew who he was. The second class, the teacher came in and was like “Jason! I randomly came across you in a music video and holy crap dude really good stuff.”

Ah man I miss these guys. This band really is an underrated gem.

Illuminaudio has aged like fine wine

“I stumbled when I Saw your intentions I screamed ‘from my eyes flows compassion for you!’”

Clunky by today's standards. That's how demos sounded back then for sure. Text book. Early 2000s was great for local music around the US. The main reason? Myspace. MySpace was a great place for local/independent bands to get the word out

Im your typical "first album was their best" kind of guy but i loved the direction they went in with bone palace ballet.

super excited to watch this please do alesana if you get a chance

I got to record a record with Craig. He is such a nice dude and has so much talent.

It is crazy to me that a channel with such high quality and well-made content, has less than 10k subs. Love your stuff, dude ❤️ keep up the amazing work

for anyone who want more craig owens, d.r.u.g.s. got back together recently (albeit with a complete lineup change including members of all that remains, '68, and bring me the horizon) and dropped a _really_ good album last year, its more 2020-22 silverstein than chiodos soundwise but it's def worth a listen. they're gonna be going on tour in a few weeks too with two of my absolute favorite bands on the planet (varials & the callous daoboys)

I have a fondness for non - sequitur, overly long song titles.

Craig was my vocal teacher for a while A really lovely guy

All albums sre great in my opinion but honestly one of my favorites songs was Those that Slay Together Stay Together. The break down at the end is ridiculous

As I sit with my Chiodos neck tattoo, And I love Craig Owens shirt 🤣

I was a teen in Michigan during the 2000's. Chiodos had such a massive cultural influence. We were a whole new breed of mall kids.

Lexington is one of my favorite songs ever, shit gives me goosebumps

Illuminaudio is such an underrated album, in my opinion is a masterpiece and best Chiodos album.

sad I really loved Illuminaudio and Brandon. Devil didnt do it for me but I feel that DRUGS's Albums are a lot similar to Illum, than Devil?

Illuminaudio was their best album.

If you ever do the fall of Troy that would be sick. Definitely getting a like and subscribe

Was shocked to see Craig playing a few Chiodos songs on the most Drugs tour. Mind you, he played with most of Varials as the touring musicians. It was great to hear the words best friend become redefined in person nearly 10 years after I last heard it with Thomas Erak on guitar. Thanks for the great video!

Craig Owens recently did a guest feature on a 100gecs song and it is honestly one of the best things he has done in a while. So I would like to imagine that the chiodos legacy lives on in some way.

This was my fav band in highschool. I could play all of their songs on guitar AND bass, and lemme tell you Chiodos bass HITS. Recently tapped back into them when I caught my friend listening to hxc. I said hol up we need to bump this lmao. Been on repeat the last week nonstop, such carefree fun music. Just might be my fav band again, all of the lyrics came right back to me. Even the tracks I forgot I loved like teeth the size of piano keys... remembered every single word like I listened to it yesterday, when it's closer to a decade at least. I haven't made it to the illuminaudio segment but I'll say its an album I enjoy today, but didn't back when. It may not be my favorite but it's a fantastic listen from start to finish. I'd take it over many other albums today, but in all honesty the memories I made with Craig's Chiodos tend to persuade my tastes. Rock on y'all regardless, no matter your fav album or vocalist. No one is late to the party when we're all here to party, let's get ragin

As a sucker for pop, I loved Craig in Cinematic Sunrise.

illuminaudio is still my favorite album by them.

I think Devil will go down as one of the most disappointing albums of my life. AWTEW is one of my favorite albums, BPB is also amazing, but man, Devil is just a stinker.

wow, those clips from The Heartless Control Everything really sounds like 90's screamo/math rock, fused with their later sound.

I see Illuminaudio without a doubt as their best album. I've always been a death metal guy and only discovered Chiodos in 2016 so i didnt have any nostalgia for them. So Illuminaudio and Devil is what got me into the band. To my ears it was completely new and something I never really thought I would like but it was something I couldn't stop listening too. I think it's a shame that's all I really got from them cause to me Illuminaudio and Devil are special... The older albums I've never really been able to get into besides a couple songs from Bone Palace. When I think about Chiodos I think of those two albums. So yeah... I think they had something really cool that feels ended way too soon.

Saw these dudes in a tiny venue in Minneapolis in 2006 that was smaller than my kitchen. Blew me away.

Craig Owens voice is just my taste. Reminds me of Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil, high pitch voice that makes you feel emotion and killer screamo.

I will not tolerate Devil slander

Overly long song titles were awesome. Especially for us mp3 collectors with OCD about tags.

I liked Bone Palace a lot when it came out but here in 2024 I think it's a big step down from All's Well That Ends Well. I legit never want to listen to that record but AWTEW brings such a unique sound that nobody else has ever created, despite how awful the production on it is.

Ever thought of doing the raise and fall and rise of senses fail? 🙏🏿 great video fam

They were my 8th grade go to haha. Their first studio album kind of holds up still if I’m in the right mood. Crazy they were so young.

This band captures the essence of that 04-10 emo feeling that can never be recaptured.

Now they’re playing WWWYF I’m curious to see who from the original lineup is coming. My first time seeing them was 2007 taste of chaos!

God I love Chiodos so much. My favorite band of all time, and I really wish they had just done more.

"Looking For a Tornado" is one of the best songs Chiodos has put out and it just goes to show that if they'd taken their time with the record and really sat down and decided on an overall sound it could have been as good as BPB. It was tonally all over the place and parts of it are downright grating, musically and vocally.

DRUGS VIDEO WHEN?!!?!?!

All nereids beware was my favorite song of theirs 😍

It's cool to see downtown San Antonio in these videos. I knew I recognized that street corner during the intro lol

Illuminaudio is a great album and has aged really well.

Bone palace ballet was insanely good

I already know my ass is gonna be doing my eyeliner to half the fucking songs you put in here 💀

Call me crazy. But I preferred Brandon over Craig in Chiodos.

This could’ve been 14 mins

Loved this. Do you know the band Catherine? Dude, if you can, please do one of these for that band. They were so good and so underrated.

Regarding Devil and Thomas Erak. I met the dude at a show and straight up asked him what was the deal with chiodos. He said all the crazy stuff he did on the record was muted or barely there due to craig owens. Im sure hes told others but i heard it in an angry drunken rage but I agree, he was underutilized.

It sounds like you're saying "She-odos" But I'm pretty sure it's more like "CHI-odos. Is it just me?

Craig’s voice is incredible.

"For 2010, this was brand new territory for the post-hardcore genre" - I have to strongly disagree there. While "Notes in Constellations" does have exactly the vibe you are describing, it had already been done by Circa Survive a whole 5 years earlier. Same two-guitar stereo delay sound, same half-tempo drum groove, same vocal style (high range, but semi-soft with steep interval jumps) and same lightly distorted bass sound - it's straight up the recipe for Circa Survive!

Man I miss being 19/20 and playing shows every weekend.

"Hit the head on the nail" was that intentional...?

Least there’s something to watch today

Chiodos playing at When We Were Young, specifically Alls Well That Ends Well

some of the videos in this takes me so far back makes me miss the old warped tour scene

Do a video on my friend Tysons band Scary Kids Scaring Kids thank you!

And DEVIL is my favorite album 😤😤 and I’ve been a fan since 2005

Alls well that ends well is the only perfect album ive ever heard every single song is just incredible this band is legendary and my god do i wish they would all reunite again and give us some crazy shit again. I know drugs is back but i want the old team back. The stars aligned for that album and man i'd love another.

You should cover underøath 😇

this is awesome! I'd live to see you do scary kids scaring kids story of the year Silverstein

From first to last!!!!!!!!! Kudos to u for that mention!

The biggest problem I have with CHIODOS is their decision to leave Teeth the Size of Piano Keys out of Bone Palace Ballet: Grand Coda

What about a video of the history of Underoath I think it’s also a very important band for the genre

I barely got on my computer when I saw that you posted a new video, so I immediately pressed play. Great Video man, always love your content. Also you mentioned Dance Gavin Dance in the beginning, I hope you can make a video them someday, since them having a very interesting history as band would probably be an understatement.

I listen to them like every week still. Fml I'm a 34 has-been-sceneXhardcore kid 😂😂😢😢😢

bone palace ballet my beloved 💖 absolutely my fav album start to finish from chiodos

Illuminaudio is their best record if you ask me. It’s a shame that the fans couldn’t get past Owens being gone. Would have paid stupid money to get another record from that lineup ugh

Oof I’m old enough to have been at that Taste of Chaos tour in the intro D;

Scaremonger and Stratovolcano Mouth are such good songs. The whole album is peak.

I have seen chiodos so many times as a teenager. But I always followed Craig and he seemed to have so many bands sound of animals fighting,cinematic sunrise, drugs, ect so chiodos just kinda got lost l. I still go back and listen to them though.

That song "Ravishing Matt Ruth" sounds like thay had influence from At the Drive in in my opinion

Fuckin' chiodos dude. One i never got to see unfortunately. A real shame.

did Kelly Osbourne dirty but nah she did it to herself but hahaha fuckkkkkkk forgot that look for a minute. shit that was me at 16 lmfao. don't forget the colored hair gel from Got2B Glued 🤣🤣

Devil is oneof he worst albums I have ever heard in my life. Its a complete sellout and its literally like they tried to make radio hits and pop bangers and failed miserably. Its like all those rock musician cliches where the band gets famous after selling their soul in reverse. These guys sold their souls and failed. Thank God.

Welll good things never last

The Undertaker's Thirst for Revenge is Unquenchable 🔥

Do one of these for Silverstein!!

absolutely love chiodos and so glad u made a video on them

I miss them

Craziness we were a warm up band for them in a basement of a church Kalamazoo mi before they were known right before they blew up

Thanks so much for this video! It's nice to see someone talk about Chiodos seriously when it comes to their talent and their experimental music. It's truly amazing what they did and I wish they could have come back when they made Devil and done something much more amazing. I'm not mad about that album tho cuz they went on tour and came to my city and it's the only time I ever got to see them live. I also got a VIP ticket and there were 10 VIP people (small town) and we got an acoustic show and got to meet the band it was the best time of my life lol. But I truly admired their talents and still love listening to Alls Well That Ends Well and Bone Palace Ballet even tho all my friends laugh at me and call them "Cheetos".

I literally don't care. Don't think to hard(make retrospective videos) about it.

bone palace is good, but first album is peak

Do you have a video about Scary kids scaring kids? Heard you mention them in this video but haven’t found a type of video about them like this yet, no documentary or anything.

I guess I'm a teenage girl. All time low is/has been my favorite band since high school. I'm 35 now.

Craig Owens basically had the voice of an angel in Alls Well That Ends Well, you could really feel his raw emotion when he sang. Bone Palace Buffet was nice also but much softer if I remember correctly. I will have to check out Devil soon because I had no idea it even existed till I watched this video. 😮

Im more of a dgd/the fall of troy kinda guy when it comes to post-hardcore but my all time favorite genre is nu metal

Two things. 1. It's Davison, not Davidson. 2. Davison is not a suburb of Flint. It is its own city.

i’m about to see them play alls well that ends well front to back in about a month and i’m so stoked

I didnt know much of the drama going on between Craig and the band but i got to spend about 20 minutes hanging out with him at Warped Tour and the dude was so fuckin chill. I gave him props a bit about his set, which i had enjoyed thoroughly, and then we talked about some of the other bands on the tour and who he enjoyed listening to. What was cool was that he engaged me in this conversation it wasnt an interview of me just asking questions and him trying to dip, he asked me what songs i liked from Chiodos, he asked me about how i like warped tour and who my favorite bands were. It was a real conversation between two people, not a celebrity and a fan. And out of dozens of band members ive met in my concert going career, only a handful have been willing to just have a normal conversation with their fans. I have a picture with him we took at the end of this interaction, and i will always cherish that picture and the conversation i had with him.

I think the lack of experimentation with devil was the biggest killer. If they wanted to reunite that album had to be killer, and well they kind of lost there way.

Not gonna lie Devil is fucking amazing. Ole fishlips and expensive conversions are brutal and beautiful

I saw Craig at the DRUG show. Dude was amazing, and it was amazing getting to chat with him for a moment.
