Architects: Animals [Live 4K] (Amsterdam, Netherlands - April 27, 2023)

> And this is the best song we've ever wrote. > Does not start playing Broken Cross.

[@PM-vv3uc]

Or at least any other song from that record...

[@vlad3kff]

Good one :D

[@kurtisbray]

Early grave *

[@axiidd7048]

Not even a top 10 for best song they’ve wrote, early grave or gone with the wind I’d say

[@АнатолийСочнев-ф6ф]

Based

[@me-myself-and-i-u7b]

Oh, the crowd is a bit passive, probably waiting for Metallica. Folks, this is one of the greatest modern metal bands giving their best right in the front of you!

[@jeffreyvandenes6579]

Average age was pretty old what do you expect … xD

[@jackyboi8832]

I saw them opening for Metallica and then again 5 weeks later at a festival they did much better at the festival as a a headliner and the crowd was much more engaged

[@stefanboer8478]

They did alright

[@slograndam]

i havent heard of them till amazon music, they are fucking awesome

[@kristovj827]

Damn these plebs don't understand the greatness that is Architects....

[@FristiFlesje01]

mainstream people waiting for mainstream Metallica... imo Architects > Metallica

[@ilianafk]

So true🥲

[@johannesrapp-um1nd]

Metallica is good, Architects are fenominal

[@danielescobardiaz]

Basically I would go to that show in Spain just for watching them

[@kristovj827]

Don't get me wrong. Metallica is THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME imo... without them I would've never discovered the gift of music.

[@A7X31610]

Is Metallica like the only band Metallica fans think they can enjoy? I legit never see their crowds giving any shred of a fuck about any opener no matter how talented or popular they are. It’s like their entire fanbase is stuck in 1984. Wild

[@demonshinji]

Probably one of the toughest crowds to win. Majority is 35+ yrs old. To tired to stand for 4 hrs. Its a different generation right there. I feel its like anyone opening for Slipknot, Judas Priest or Maiden. Fanbase is just there for that one and only one experience. Sad, cause i would love Architects to be in the USA part of this tour.

[@Cathpires]

Indeed. I guess they only have the capacity to listen Metallica and anything else. I went to a lot of Metallica shows and the crowd it's terrible. Don't respect the other bands

[@jonybeam21]

@@Cathpires probably because almost all these new bands these are just so totally bland and boring in every way with the exception of Ghost ,Tribulation Raven Age and a few others .If you lived through the 80's and went to see all the incredible bands of that golden era live every week (sometimes every day) when they were all in their absolute prime then you'd fully understand what i mean but for that you'd have to be not 35+ but at least 45+!

[@Cathpires]

@@jonybeam21 I saw them with bands from the 00's (and those people had 20s or less) and the reaction was the same. And I recommend you listen Architects, you'll change your opinion. Because it's new doesn't mean that isn't good. At least architects or those other bands I saw, know how to play. Something that Metallica, in 6 shows that I saw of them, don't know. They fail notes in every song.

[@jfklmk13447]

Yeah that's a super tough crowd

[@charleschi843]

Concerts like this leave people very confused on where to look.

[@elliottwood2814]

Yeah its a neat idea but I think it would piss me off having to keep spinning round and if you're on the outside of the stage you'd barley see the band

[@alexandrabaum7043]

November nope i mean

[@AnjaT890]

I was there. Unfortunately I didn't know this band, but they have gained a big fan! What a great performance on such a stage. I agree that most of the audience was unfortunately very tame. But judging by the number of white blouses, most of them only came for 'Nothing Else Matters'. Come on guys! This is a metal concert and thankfully The Architects were there!!!!

[@roylt2418]

I totally agree i enjoyed this show so much

[@HomeHalfway]

Check out their album Holy Hell. It's a masterpiece.

[@AnjaT890]

​@@HomeHalfway I listened to the whole album and I love it! Thanks for the tip 👍

[@Gabriesca]

DAAAAAAMMMMNNNN i would give everything to be able to have metallica and as a opening show, architects

[@ziadjamal7377]

Amazing band

[@billyomarr]

i love these guys SO FUCKING MUCH!

[@alexisindanger8811]

I'm very proud for this guys and what they've achieved

[@PolarityMetal]

I'm curious, how is this stage? I can see people looking at one member and having another one behind? amazing performance!

[@Thiago.Carvalho15]

360 degrees stage

[@northtimo666]

360 degree donut stage

[@bouzidhamza3494]

This footage is taken form inside the snake pit which is basically a disc shaped region surrounded by the stage in a donut fashion way.

[@JustK4Y1512]

This is a football stadium I think

[@TheHennotaams]

They were so good!!! Sam came over to shake my hand during this song 😁 you can actually see it at the end 😅

[@punchyb1]

Architects were fucking awesome. By far the best of the support acts across the two nights. Imagine that shit goes down really well in Brighton haha. Gained a fan guys, massive well done on the night!!

[@willygonzales1034]

3:45 you can hear the sound of him strumming lol, that's how hard he hit them strings.

[@HomeHalfway]

Architects are absolutely fucking phenomenal and I am so excited they're opening. And FFDP's replacements of Floor and Epica are just perfect.

[@Haydon.F.]

That sounds like it would have been monsterous in person

[@jiiyongg]

they are rly good live!

[@GuilhermeKonflanz96]

cara como povo ali é morto, uma baita banda top e povo tudo parado

[@Bruno-vb1qz]

Galera que só ouve anos 80 a vida toda. Não saber apreciar uma banda como Architects tocando em um nível tão foda, é triste.

[@proxreckless1997]

This is far from the best song they've ever wrote. Memento Mori is one of their best and that was written by Tom.

[@alexandrabaum7043]

Ruh yeah 🎉

[@jiiyongg]

dude i would go feral!!

[@J.Shambles]

This is the first video I’ve seen from inside the snake pit. So trippy being surrounded by the band

[@simonklaassen8528]

I was going bonkers sitting in my chair. Broke my heart and brain to see all these people barely moving

[@SauceWoW]

This was definitely Amsterdam, the fans had to be stoned off their asses or something to stand that still during architects.

[@thehop639]

Or they recognise what utter shite is!!

[@JustK4Y1512]

Nah it’s just that Metallica fans can be gatekeeping shitheads that can’t accept modern metal 😂😅

[@vlad3kff]

2:45 Damn Sam was about to get that slick devil out of him haha

[@connorhowe2679]

Not sure if they have ever played a stage like this, but if not it must have been such a different experience

[@mationetta]

i can’t wait for the hamburg show, mainly going for architects hahahah!

[@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035]

I hope the rest of the crowd get their asses moving a little more. Otherwise we'll just have to party on our own xD

[@mationetta]

@@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035 i‘m already preparing myself to be the only one going off 💀 their loss tho, couldn’t imagine not getting up for architects

[@Lord_Swoledemort]

Far from the best song they’ve ever written

[@sharean6495]

Yeah, what a strange thing to say

[@CrashBlastSmash]

Probs made them the most money and success, probs what he meant.

[@LouSassles]

Who gives a fuck. They deserve the success even if it ain’t your cup o tea. They’ve been through so much and worked their asses off. Let them enjoy it

[@bradwad]

Was animals a big song? Genuine question.

[@sharean6495]

@@bradwad It was the lead single supporting "For Those That Wish To Exist". It's got a lot of views, so I'd say it's a popular song but that was to be expected since they had massively risen in popularity by then. I'd say their biggest (not saying best, since that's personal preference) song is "Doomsday" with all the history surrounding it.

[@SecularGuy]

"And this is the best song we've ever wrote." ...HARD no.

[@chalksmiles4036]

Surely the band have ultimate say on whether this is correct or not

[@HearmenowMH]

I cringed during their whole performance with the crap that came out of his mouth. Give us back 2018 architects

[@PM-vv3uc]

@@HearmenowMH This band doesn't belong to stadium shows. Or it isn't Architects how they used to be...

[@HearmenowMH]

Also the songs that they played. They lost all of their identity

[@chalksmiles4036]

@@HearmenowMH they're still there. You can listen to them whenever you want.

[@albertomata99]

I never imagined that Architects would open for Metallica at some point!😮 It's a pity that people are already adults because it's Metallica they're going to see but there are good bands nowadays. Let them get out of their comfort room a little.

[@NickJ7903]

I get that people think that the crowd is dead but what you need to understand that is the stage is a giant O ring, it's impossible for a band that isn't crazy super mega famous to entertain a crowd entirely in that kind of setting, as well as the fact that yes most people are there to see Metallica, of course they are, Metallica tickets are 3+ times more expensive than regular band tickets, so it's a very particular demographic of people there that want to see Metallica and have no idea who Architects are, but the great part about these kind of shows for bands like Architects, is that they get to expose their music to people who like metal, and it's on a large scale, and if I was in a band and had that opportunity, even while knowing that the crowd won't be there to see me, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Most bands would. It's not the crowds fault that it seems dead, it's not anyone's fault, it's just a different type of show compared to a warped tour show or a tour that is supported by other bands of a similar popularity status. Also, the more mainstream an artist is, the more the shows begin to look like this... Why? because people can't afford to see a performance like that often, maybe once every few years they'll be able to do it but that depends on if the artists they like are even playing locally at the time, and when they finally get to go see the artist, the fans are relaxing, eating food, waiting patiently to see the one they have been waiting for, and theyre going to admire the show and take in everything around them because who knows when they'll even get another chance with a band like Metallica... If I really really loved a band so much and they played in my city and cost me over $150 AUD, I'd stand there watching them and bobbing my head slightly too, even the opening band, I'd act that exact same way. I'm getting my moneys worth in visuals 😂 So please don't think that Architects did a bad job, I don't know their music but I know they're a really good band from what I've seen and heard over the years, and good bands don't have bad shows.

[@EmskoppSascha]

I just hate when a fanbase cant appreciate the modern metal. Show some respect!

[@magda.3829]

WTF is wrong with those people o.O

The Chilean people destroy in this concert, incredible architects !!!!

[@FL3MSH4DY]

Imagine having to follow Architects

[@brancovers]

The amount of boomers in that pit so confused 😂😂

[@carbonmolecules4504]

This is why bands like asking Alexandra went radio rock. It was so they could open for bands like Metallica and still appeal to the older crowds. They literally said that people didn’t like the screaming when they didn’t know who they were. Crowds like this ruin bands.

[@adrianvillachicahidalgo4548]

Can someone explain me, why the people there just are almost ignore them?

Crowd enthusiasm about three

[@Eduardo-ki6nj]

que envidia viejoooo

[@CarlosHuiskens]

It was a bad call to have this concert in the Johan Cruiff Arena during the day. Besides the fact that a stand-alone concert by Architects at the Ziggo Dome ( which is next to the arena ) would have been better the fact that it's during the day makes it much less enjoyable.

[@oliquesnel5584]

3:44 am I hearing the guitar strings?

Ojalá que cuando Metallica vuelva a chile ,traigan a Architects de teloneros Acá si los apreciarían mucho O Trivium uff sería espectacular

Unfortunately this is a Metallica concert what do you expect hardcore fans to do same thing happened with INK

[@harryprice9132]

I've seen metallica before and unfortunately have to say it was the worst crowd I've seen at a gig, everyone so bored and lifeless which is a shame cus Metallica still put on a great show, looks the same here unfortunately

[@derangedghost4520]

This crowd looks really boring

[@factorypilot99]

Damn these old Metallica fans are out of touch, this is a kick ass band

[@Uryup]

Crowd is like on some pop concert. Shows like this should throw your energy out, but not just slowly shake your head. Looks sort of shameful even for 'metalhead pensioners'...

[@fonzybrookestone727]

I feel bad for any Metallica opener.... no matter how good they are, get no respect.

Guys, don't waste your time on Amsterdam and go do Rotterdam, De Kuip instead next time. Not everyone is stoned to start with and people are more passionate.

When i See this, i feel sooo bad for Architects...they are such an incredible Band with massive Bangers and they just have so much passion and fun on stage, its a shame they have to Open the Show to such a lame and ignorant crowd...i know, normaly you dont visit a concert because of the support band, but come on, this is Architects opening for Metallica, not a small local band opening for like Architects themself...i dont know what exactly it is, but most of the crows just stands ther like "yeah whatever that is on stage, leave and let Metallica finally play" .... such a shame they are not open about experiencing Architects and having some fun at all...

This is some bullshit right here. Amazing band. Amazing song. Pathetic crowd. Only there for one reason. Speaking as a huge Metallica fan and a a huge Architects fan.

Is this a support gig? Or are they the headliner? Man this is sad - Architects don't belong to stadium... I really lost interest since they play at such big shows. Doesn't fit to their intimate energy.
