Alexisonfire - Tom Sawyer (Rush's cover)

[@d_arnz93]

Don't think I've ever heard Dallas scream like that!

[@BERTGES75]

Dylarnz me either

[@gotemfishing2190]

I have a toddler that I named after Dallas Green and I’ll have you know that I have heard Dallas scream like this on multiple occasions.

[@BickTron]

Can hear his pain in his voice

[@thylowjeans]

@@BickTron he tries his best)

[@TheAnatolBand]

Where the hell was ..... the freaking sound engineer ?

[@tryitworks]

he was definitely not in a rush

[@zachjollimore4339]

Out fer a dart there bud

[@thechocolatemilkcurse884]

Lmao the sound engineer was losing their shit because Dallas green pulled some vocals that nobody was ready for 😂

[@JaySnowMusic]

Damn Dallas screaming is impressive as his singing!

[@keescharles1689]

Somebody please find me a quality version of this! Never heard Dallas scream like this love it! Love Alexis, know we’ll never here Dallas like this again. There’s gotta be a clean recording of this out there. Skullheart

[@phoebemelchor]

IT WAS ON THE HALL OF FAME WEBSITE BUT THEY TOOK IT DOWN😭😭

[@keescharles1689]

😢

[@robertoromo7315]

Dallas can sing like an angel. Also like a demon. Love it

[@colterknox9616]

i need more loud angry dallass his voice is fucking amazing and then i hear this. god damn boi

[@chawwwnie]

I pray for a screamo album from him

[@daegor1]

All of those asking about George, he was stuck in traffic. Dallas stepped up to do George's part. Which, while definitely impressive, is why it sounds so bad. I'm not sure why Wade didn't take over the screaming, maybe he didn't know the words?

[@TheAcridCorpse]

Man Dallas killed it, the sound guy is the one who fucked it up.

[@kyleleon85]

Dallas didn’t know the words either. Well, sorta, just not in the correct order.

[@wowwow8617]

the screaming is incredible i dont get why people keep bitching about it lol

[@chawwwnie]

It's soooooooo fucking good 🤪 the guy mixing should be shot out of a cannon into the sun though...but Dallas is perfect

[@Andrew-qq8fb]

Shoutout to the drummer for keeping the band together. The shouting was fine for me. The biggest issue was the sound.

[@Humblemumble7]

*The "mix"

[@alexd2227]

Dallas and those fucking screams... lol. Love it.

[@sirderpsalot]

Sound guy needs to be fired.

[@keescharles1689]

What a shame

[@minou_1]

weird as fuck... i've been a fan of AOF since the first album, never knew this existed. i fuckin love it though

[@edwardmesina]

Epic cover. Where's George and what's with the mix? Nonetheless, sweet screaming by Dallas (which is rare) and overall and wicked cover by the Alexis boys.

[@svartsjokolade]

I mean, the mix was awful here but probably sounded nice and full in the room. I think this was awesome, only ever head Dallas going this hard on Midnight Regulations live. He sounds great and should incorporate these vox into AOF once in a while.

[@williamgrand9724]

Need more Dallas screams in future albums.

[@GuzzWeber]

fucked up sound but Dallas screaming is freaking insane!

[@datguy4104]

Better than George. I say that knowing I'm gonna be crucified but idgaf. George is an awesome front man though

[@DekaDred1]

where the fu**k is George?

[@FokkerTISM]

Don't think they needed him for this one.

[@ravesto3206]

My exact thoughts. I was like what in the fuck!!!! Then outta no where Dallas starts screaming! Totally got head fucked with this one.

[@stevesmith8588]

I read that George was stuck in traffic.

[@Trowa71]

Seems like a show must go on scenario. I respect it.

[@aaronmoran9660]

I'm a 21 year old sound engineer with no schooling backing me, but could have done a better job than this. Was there no sound check? Proof a good band can look like shit just because of a bad sound guy. Alexisonfire wouldn't lose any fans over this, but anybody who could have potentially become a fan would be turned off by this.

[@themordan]

It's definitely not loud enough. I'm listening on my phone with the sound turned way up and can barely hear it 😏

[@79thejman]

I'm pretty sure this sounded exactly how they intended it to

[@MsCrumbles]

Thanks for uploading to YT!

[@matheusowna]

Dallas in here sounds a lot like Tim McIlrath from Rise Against lol

[@riseagainst-pe3ld]

dallas and tim both in a band would be amazing

[@lorenzomottabettanin8970]

Lol I was thinking the same

[@joeymayer3068]

The culture shock some of the crowd members received right there! I’ve seen this many times and it gets better every time.

[@CASHXRAT]

Was there no bass for some portion of the beginning?? I feel like I suddenly heard it kick in

[@ExposedVariant]

Kicked in just as I was reading your comment lol...

[@krestophvon-spake9493]

Same here lol

[@dermilo88]

I Love Rush....I Love Alexisonfire...BUT: WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY PLAYING IT THAT THIS WAY??????????????

[@christopherfranks7627]

Wowza. Why have I never seen this?!?

[@nickmokrzewski]

I almost shat myself hearing Dallas

[@AlanLeviYYZ]

with his normal voice it would have been great. I love the screaming stuff but I feel it was not necessary for this cover

[@JordonTheo]

Dallas fucking killed it...but the sound guy needs to have his ass kicked. Bass didnt even kick in until after the first verse.

[@jackstarret7028]

Feels so strange seeing them up there without George!

[@mynameisfinity240]

We're a loud band! Guitar volume compression drops like a stone and is basically invisible haha.

[@robynbrooke8445]

2:34 He is having a fit🤣

[@dennisrodman8706]

so sick when he sings like that jesus christ. Goosebumps

[@johnjakob2665]

Would have been dope if sound guy didn’t butcher it

[@kevin933]

Wow, I didn't know Dallas could scream.

[@rmca11]

Why does the bass guitar keep turning up and down? :/

[@Stoneman180190]

Canadian Royalty covering Canadian Royalty

[@gotemfishing2190]

literally the best cover of Tom Sawyer to date (IMO)

[@warmwinter5024]

O my god dallas screams really cool, but where is george in this video?

[@Jainn_]

Stuck in traffic

[@sako36]

Where's George?

[@Louie-wd7cv]

Stuck in traffic

[@davidmagpie85]

Why am I only just hearing this?!

[@billmassy]

Dallas sounds like Dustin Kensrue

[@ayeapprove]

Dustin sounds like Dallas :D

[@somethingcleverrrr]

billmassy love both of them!

[@MrVanquishDestiny]

Dude! I was just thinking that! I usually wouldn’t compare them cause they have different singing voices, and like them both, but how Dallas sang here sounds just like Dustin.

[@thricefan89]

No way. Maybe pre alchemy index

[@adtthosa]

Somehow never seen this before. That was...... interesting. Where is George?

[@elijahelbourn5709]

I'm sure this would have been a great cover too. Yeeeesh

[@XnGeL92]

2010 right?

[@leticiapachecoancelmo5993]

Tom sawyer grunge version. Awosome! Fuck yeah! 🤘

[@mrtacoboy135]

Jeeez....Dallas can scream?? \m/

[@maxscameraguy]

that was so odd for them

[@davidstoten9504]

not alexis without george

[@bcrdaniel]

awesome!

[@OneClipAtATime]

Does anyone know what year this was?

[@austinh9290]

2008

[@OneClipAtATime]

+Austin H thank you!

[@manikshamik]

The vocal ..Awesome !

[@jamescrazypig]

Dallas messed up the first line lmao

[@BM-gv2vi]

WTF DALLAS?!?!?!? Who needs George I guess... he was powerful asf

[@bobloblaw420]

okay, i'm feeling a little awkward rn lol. that was not what I was expecting LOL. wtf george, where are you?! woof! oh well, its funny. that was long ago. an interviewer should ask him about it haha

[@Ionic457]

Stuck in traffic. :(

[@mikepenny9286]

just feel like dallas would have killed it if he sung like he normally does

[@theBamboozleRoom]

Where is George

[@S.Turnock]

Oh my goodness nice pipes tomika..

[@GreenDayDookieDemos]

Dallas sounds like Shelby Cinca which rules

[@Huardo]

no george = no alexisonfire.

[@richlucas4080]

There is no way this is 2010. 2005 maybe ... at a push, but id bet earlier looking at Dallas's tats. PLUS WADE! in a fedora and leather, looks totally uncomfortable, or at least looks like he knows he looks straight out of a blues brothers tribute. This has definitely gotta be early days, although Dallas is not as good as George at screaming id love to hear him extend his vox so much on a C&C track

[@VidmanBarca89]

Are you suggesting they cover Coheed and Cambria?

[@Scoots89]

+VidmanBarca89 Could be City and Colour too. Dallas' other band which he is currently releasing music from.

[@VidmanBarca89]

Anthony Scuteri Ahh,good call. Makes much more sense

[@xtheendxxx]

Seeing as how this was recorded on March 28, 2010.... There is a way this is 2010.

[@tommydolan4281]

holy shit dallas you somehow made me like a rush song

[@GrizzlyHands]

"We're very loud band, plug your ears" Guitars are super low.

[@MA-lk6ej]

Wow, our very own "Hall of Fame" can't even get the band's name correct. It isn't "Aleixs On Fire"

[@zachcarley4082]

Alexis-on-fire

[@EricStevens-u8r]

The sound engineer needs to be in prison…great performance by AOF

[@vickirosstudor490]

Where’s Geddy Lee when you need him?

[@SuperVerst]

umm...

[@jaredcollins6900]

Love this band. Hate this cover. Not a good job, and what the he'll is up with the sound. I can't even hear it when volume is all the way up

[@sweetorganic]

Who fuck is "George"?

[@rebeccamcfalls681]

Who or where? Who - George Pettit, the fifth member of Alexisonfire who normally screams. Where - apparently he was stuck in traffic.

[@zanhalen4856]

Rush brought me here... sound drove me away. Sorry

[@pelle9114]

oh no thats 000

[@summeronio9751]

St Cats FTW

[@justintaylor147]

When you cover a band known for technicality... you might want to ensure that the sound is on point... literally an insult to the band

[@sprokow]

So much better than Rush tbh

[@robynbrooke8445]

2:13 😂😂😂

[@MH-sp7te]

Rush - the small ell libertarian bros. I'm agorist, but I appreciate Geddy and Neil to a great degree.

[@kipdon]

I guess this is how you sing -when ya cant reach the Geddy Lee high notes?

[@riseagainst-pe3ld]

listen to Dallas city and color stuff he is a way better singer than geddy the guy who did the screaming couldn't make it because he was stuck in traffic so Dallas took over

[@summeronio9751]

Show some!respect for AOF

[@calebthomas2345]

Dallas Green can hit any fucking note . You must not know his talent D.Kip Trumpulis.

[@zachjollimore4339]

But like. On the scale of high notes it goes Geddy Lee high notes. Then even high it's Dallas Green High notes.

[@ForeverAbroad]

Dallas green is a very competent singer probably the best singer currently alive in this era. Listen to anything by city and colour. You will see you are sadly mistaken, ESPECIALLY his live performances, imo the best living singer live

[@kendallwilson5688]

Well that was absolutely horrific. Sorry but I've been following AOF since "significance of shooting my sister in the face" and this was just ugh.

[@passatv6077]

love alexis but not sure about dallas performance 😳

[@justingillespie5883]

As a fan of both bands. Am not impressed

[@keithwolk]

..not good....this is not a punk rock song...vocals buried it...

[@bryday]

Brutal 😬

[@Kenscialoia]

sound quality is low

[@1472583]

Well, yes, that sucks

[@hermanhelmich]

Ouch!

[@DihColorado]

I love Alexisonfire....but this is complete utter garbage

[@robmouzas]

This cover of a clasic Rush song is what a wet fart is to underwear. Ughh.

[@rossbrooks950]

Jesus Christ. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@emceeodessa5606]

I love Dallas but they butchered one of the greatest songs.

[@rahbeat9785]

ain't gonna lie that was pretty awful.... even after the sound fixed

[@n49deg9]

You guys need to play your own punk rather than fuck up a great song

[@ortydog]

Butchers

[@StopPanakinAnakin]

Oof.

[@robertmateo4177]

I'm a AOF fan but FUCK this was horrible!!!

[@McDoobles]

I'm both a huge Rush and AOF fan, but my god this was terrible. George should have screamed that if that was the route they were going to go.

[@toke7342]

They butchered the song 😮😮😮

[@kilakr13]

Why? Why why scream the vox

[@FrankyboyFloyd]

probably their worst performance ever...

[@Jainn_]

It's because of the sound guy

[@Boristheblade023]

No.

[@elementeden]

This was fucking terrible, lmao. I love alexisonfire but please don’t ever do that again

[@Wi11i4mJM]

I love Alexis and love Rush but Dallas is butchering it hahahaha

[@kendallwilson5688]

This is so fucking horrible omfg.
