Asking Alexandria - If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once You Should Get Out Of The Circus

Sam Bettly ft Asking Alexandria

[@dumbledoor7972]

Hes got the coolest moves

[@codyrankin7416]

I remember always watching this show when I was 10-12 and at the time AA was my favorite band and when I saw they were playing on the show I remember SCREAMING, 10+ years laters I’m 24 now and I still see this exact performance and remembering the night seeing them on here and I still jam just as hard as I did back then. Honestly thank you for having this video I appreciate it for my childhood.

Same goes for Travis Barker.

[@MacGrizzly45]

This band really nails timing the headbangs together!

[@ManoBDraycko]

If you can't play two basses you should get out of the circus

[@desepod]

Wow this guy is amazing! Not to often do you see a vocalist do the harmony and the growling or screaming both. Most have someone else doing it. Simply AMAZING!

[@Hustlewithoutrest]

this is where dannys emo phase ended rip

[@xgormo9805]

He was always rock and roll at heart

[@auliafebby08]

when the other members were still emo-ish, Danny was the one who cut his hair first

[@VioletElite4]

Even though he got rid of that look, Reckless & Relentless is still their best album/era

[@MrPfDrgamer]

James does the best job of them all I never see him making any mistakes, plus the fact that his heel toe is amazing.

[@prometeo2310]

Can we take just a moment to see how awesome is Sam Bettley?

[@arne5303]

Danny's vocals (screams AND clean) are soooo freakin good!!!

[@JamieNetflix]

Agree!

[@xxLonniExx]

Even better today!

[@helojb1]

I honestly think that it's incredible what Danny does to his voice. It's perfect, I didn't use to like things like that... But now, I love

[@ivansanchez1599]

As if screaming wasn't hard already, people usually don't know how such of a hard thing is to switch from screaming vocals to clean as Danny does in 0:36. Danny is such a good singer overall.

[@FueraDeJuego100]

R.I.P true Danny´s voice

[@xgormo9805]

No such thing as his true voice, it’s called his voice evolving, you aren’t going to sound the same as you did as a teenager when you’re in your twenties, especially if you’re doing drugs and your voice is still changing

[@mattfernandez7644]

1:59 it was at that moment James knew.... He Fucked Up.

[@norway1swag]

Not in 2012. I saw them in january and it was awsome to see them live. Danny was also finally able to hit the high notes in the songs, and the screams/growls was really good.

[@Antithesis16]

This Moment in 2:47 when you see he takes his glasses off and he's singing from heart. This is what makes the difference to now.

[@imnotkosher4474]

Lmao he did have passion but not during this this was the period in time where danny was constantly intoxicated! He had alcohol and drugs in his system he was even trying to preform this song in this video

He would gracefully do the screams and cleans with his eyes closed, what you on about it?

[@untitled-ir5yc]

Wow. This actually wasn't bad.

[@twezid]

only the last part of the song , the vocal was shit ... ("So now this is over and the world falls upon me. I never expected to be here alone. The shadows are forming as we burst into flames. Why does this end this way" )

No shit.

[@williamwilliams1255]

Danny shows some nice cleans in this performance! :)

[@rainingblood979]

Danny is truly one of today's best frontmen.

[@tomfaron5289]

how can you even say that?

[@rainingblood979]

Tom Faron He gives his fans a show and doesn't just stand there the whole damn show like many do today.

[@heroicmillipede]

Tom Faron He also forgot the near flawless vocals on this song, it wasn't his best performance but this was during his downfall

[@rainingblood979]

mario fatovic Yeah, just listen to some of the more recent shows. The guy is a beast now. I never expected much from this band until I seen them during the supporting tour of From Death to Destiny. Great show.

[@heroicmillipede]

RainingBlood97 When i first heard them it was from Christian Johanson's vocal cover and cause of that i was like. "meh, i don't really care about this band" but the first time i really heard the band was on a bus and i was like "OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS" I heard the final episode and not the american average

[@ebenfirmansyah6850]

one of the best live i ever seen

[@renanlpps5691]

Danny smile in the chorus☺

[@dawgmanfat]

its funny people are saying this a good performance because dannys screams have become so pitiful he past year, back in 2010 we all thought this performance was shit haha

[@ClairvoyantD]

I like "both dannys" (since people think he's just a whole different person now). I like this one because I like the clean vocals and just how he performs all in it's self. I do miss looking and listening to him scream and sing kinda more... I'd say with energy and enthusiasm. But things have changed and some people just gotta deal with it. I can say for my 18 year old self I haven't seen them live even back in 2009 or 2010 or whatever. But I like all their music and love watching their livevids

[@imthecrazyone23]

Danny must have been sick or something. He didn't do any highs, all lows which was rare for him. Sounded good though!

[@mrtumnus88]

i love the bass tone, it sounds great for this music

[@penelopekeretene5358]

WTF James is actually wearing a shirt for once haha

[@lesteranthonyreniva2529]

It's just sad that they cant do this again.. Ever..

[@blueskythinking4745]

The singer made a good call wearing those glasses.. Because when he takes them off its obvious that his on some form of opiate.

[@BadgerRoyalty]

Danny was always high on stage. he came on stage one so fucked up he couldn't remember the lyrics. But he's back in the band and he's better than ever!

[@Osama_Bin_Ladder]

TheBadgerManOG Harper let's not forget the infamous Danny's being kinda a Cock right now. 😂

for real but he straightened up and I heard a snippet of AA first song with danny back and I think I came in my pants... lol

[@thesteezefactor96]

I saw them live and it the sickest thing ever!

[@DaltonGoesSlow]

why use different screaming vocals on the album if you plan to just use the same style for all them live. Ruins the songs.

[@darrenkrausz7840]

It's cuz u can tell he's having a hard time with his voice and he keeps running out of breathe

[@DaltonGoesSlow]

Darren Krausz yeah then he shouldn't make songs that are out of his range

[@KamaKazma]

Dalton McCabe His vocal cords were fucked up at the time.

[@matheusf.4824]

Danny can sing very well. Need only decrease with cigarette and drink

[@benji7662]

King Kazma Nope, funny how that's the response with any frontman fucking up.. They've never been different from this, this is what happens when you start as a studio band with a frontman who's there out of pity. AA is Ben's project, Danny was fucking his life over so gave him this job to help him onto a better path. Stand Up and Scream was out before the band had giged literally anywhere, even the UK, in fact they toured and giged in the US before the UK, very shortly into their touring did the second album come out, Reckless and Relentless. There lays the problem. You look at a band like BMTH who giged in little spots all over the UK hundreds of times before Count Your Blessings was even made and you get a singer who can actually hit the same ranges on the recordings. It's about experience, something AA have only recently gotten enough of.

[@norway1swag]

Awsome, I'm also seeing them in january :D

[@davidcrawford7513]

they're probably drunk so it must explain why its bad

I didn't say that they sounded bad...i meant as a performance it was boring...the drummer could be a bit better in my opinion but it was an overally boring performance...a good performance would be exciting and full of energy for a song like this being heavy...just my opinion though :P

Very true. I crossed myself a bit and never thought of it that way. Sorry, mate.
