As I Lay Dying - Forever (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@terrancepage9163]

How does this still melt my face after 15 years? a timeless classic. Man i miss those days. Its friday night in 2005, just got done skating with the boys. About to hop on runescape for the rest of the night while talking to my school crush on MySpace while blasting this song in the headset. Times will never be the same.

this video is perfect because it captures the passion and energy of the metalcore scene in the early 2000's, so i'm thankful i got to see these guys when they toured for the FWC album.

[@angryktulhu]

2000 were way better. Now the whole scene has turned into jazz. Everyone is counting odd time signatures and recording. Instead of letting the emotions go. Probably only the hardcore scene is still good. But the metal scene in general is just as technical as lifeless

[@jfo772]

As much flak as this band is taking lately, I can't bring myself to abandon them. My life changed when this album was released. As I Lay Dying was the first real metal band I ever listened to; the first real metal band I had ever seen live. I am a metal head today because of this band. Thank you for being the genesis of the greatest years of my life.

[@pathadden7946]

I feel that man, this band got me into the whole "Metal scene" As well as picking up a guitar

[@astrotriforce]

People need to remember that this band is more than just Tim. Sure Tim was the front-man and the foundation, but Jordan is as much a foundation as anyone else (the drummer). Many bands have lost their frontman and continued to thrive. Sadly the circumstances surrounding Tim polluted things, but that does not make any song the band made any less great than it previously was in retrospect. Music is timeless. While Tim may have lost his way, he was only one cog in a much larger whole. It's disrespecting to the hard work everyone else put into the band and Tim's actions should not be allowed to taint who and what As I Lay Dying was and is. RIP. I hope Wovenwar at one point starts playing As I Lay Dying songs. Because they ARE As I Lay Dying, and they should have the right to play the material they worked so hard on with or without Tim.... they just lost a (huge) part of what made them, but not the only part. And, in many ways, not the most important part either.

I was actually at this show at soma. It was when metalcore was just really starting to blow up with these guys, All that Remains, and Killswitch Engage. I don't think they all played at this show but those were some of the biggest bands in the genre that helped metalcore become what it is today. It was such a sic show.

[@preston2636]

@@ToddlerEater I'm not religious but this song is definitely about Jesus. Christians view converting to Christianity as giving their heart away to their savior. This whole album is really religious. Tim just did a good job at making the lyrics open to interpretation though. I thought the religious subject of the lyrics on this album were blaringly obvious. Maybe you need to see a 4th grade English teacher
