At the Drive-in - Initiation

Old video ok sound and pure energy. I hadn't seen this up on youtube so here it is for your viewing. The short hair!!!

[@SuperGeeked]

We seriously grew up in the best era for music. I miss these days! Thanks for sharing this video.

[@WolfataDoor]

So happy this exists.

[@kaveh1836]

Same

[@MyBadPosture]

same

[@gbrooks2]

I would give any amount of money to see the band reunite and play this live.

[@CheckeredDemon310]

"....you know you're beautiful when you're dead...." has got to be my favorite line in this truly awesome song.

[@cokebabies]

The lyrics make a lot more sense than usual with this audio quality!

[@zach2073]

the fugazi inspiration in this video is awesome i love it

[@Pedrucoes]

A while back, when i First listened to Relationship of Command, I came across this video and found it sooo bad and weird. Now i fucking adore and give so much value to It.

[@igotnospit]

This is seriously beautiful, for some reason I always tend to like the pre-afro(or should I say crack) performances more, I wish there was footage of them playing there but performing Starslight which is totally my favourite from them

[@dyr234]

cosmonaut.

[@carsenarsen8634]

Sailing all alone. I kid you not. That phrase can cheer me up at a funeral...

[@ursaproxima]

@@carsenarsen8634 That's nice. I'm wasn't even born during that time, nor am I anywhere near from where this band comes from but that line also hits me in a nice way :)

[@lynxcore]

starslight kicks so much ass dude, it's for sure one of their best songs in my opinion

[@keitaro21]

wow cedric with short hair !!! even is they were young, they are so awesome ! I'll always love them ^^

[@Casey3-P-O]

thank u for posting this. this might be my favorite ATDI song. i like how they make the chorus more hardcore for live. but the recording on the album was so influential for me growing up.

[@chockyasecas3874]

Qué alegría escuchar estos temas🤘🤘🤘

[@GENXJOPLIN]

Those drumsticks look three feet long

[@aVamer]

😆👌👌👌

[@aVamer]

Tony actually just has short arms.

[@aVamer]

@@MikaelKonradsson Absolutely! Watching his drumming pushed me to play better. ROC was constantly in my CD player.

[@hawaiianseedarts2200]

Their actually are

[@hawaiianseedarts2200]

Their actually for big drum set and also for people with short reach

[@Pakn206bones]

ive never heard a better band since i started to listen to ATDI. most creative band ever.

[@DISBLACKFEET]

Amazing...Damn this brings back some good times...

[@chloedog47]

Why is this just the best song ever?

[@TimothySharma]

those hips don't lie

[@yrureadingthisname]

It does suck right now, a lot of bands are breaking up. Bear vs. Shark, The Fall Of Troy, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, The Blood Brothers, Hot Cross, etc. Luckily there are some old and young bands still carrying the torch, like My Heart To Joy, La Dispute, Native, Papier Tigre, Cinemechaninca, The Velvet Teen, The Dilinger Escape Plan, Touche Amore, Grown Ups, Tera Melos, and Grown Ups to name a few.

[@xannie7511]

Mars Volta and The Fall of Troy back together now, seen TFOT 3 times since their reunion tour and just saw TMV 4 days ago ❤️❤️❤️

[@justpete23]

probably my fave AtDi song

[@kryzs_kornhell]

Great song and performance! Makes me just sad of seeing what drugs and success did to the band.

[@zacmarvel6369]

Bruh they were on drugs in this vid lol

[@Nice-sm5hr]

Wow, what an amazing vid!!

[@turner]

heavy breathings your new fan club. god damn i love at the drive-in

[@LaceChaser]

0:55 lol. Cedric was so goofy.

[@thisgamegavemecancer1813]

lol i luv yt when this is what they think i want to watch, god the scene is dead, awesome band name, "The Scene Is Dead"

[@dragon-id5uj]

"random word salad" is a good band name too

[@tanvo93]

i gatta find some underground kats who just have that raw energy that punk gave us, with that creativity that pushes music to another level my local underground is Ok still have many young kids who havent experimented and opened themselves enough

[@idonteatcheetos]

Also to answer your question it is because music evolves over time. As much as I do love this song how boring would it be to have every song sound the exact same? Actually, that is why I love ATD-I period, because almost every of their songs sounds different.

[@73RULAS]

@SuperMario16bit The Fall of Troy sound alot like At The Drive In. They just scream. But they have the same enery and emotion... Listen to "the circus that has brought us back to these nights" by the fall of troy. Its Amazing.

[@camiloramone2733]

Tive a oportunidade de pegar um show dos caras amo essa banda

[@Knieghtz]

These guys were so ahead of their time. You can see in todays "Commercial" music, how many bands try and emulate their sound and look.

[@Cpost01]

No shit man. It's just ridiculous what shit is out there. Cedric was right "People are spoon fed by the radio". No one searches for good shit and try to be like the other. We need something worth while to intrigue us.

[@isitjustmeor9647]

Dude, this is kinda horrible. But that is what makes it so great. The horrible video quality. The bad hair-cuts. The tiny, desperate room. The average music. Good, good stuff. I'm serious!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I made a music video using this footage and the studio version.. The live version is faster so I had to do a lot of work to keep it in sync. My gift to fans of early ATDI! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIaziIuZodppgaM

[@Jimtimidation]

@ReeDParkeR12345 Native RULES! My band played with them a couple of years ago and they are super nice dudes!

[@MyBadPosture]

hi i’m here

[@martint5129]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuucc, i cant handle this much power

[@basfaratu]

amazing.

[@DavidSGrop]

Daniel Radcliffe on vocals

[@austins.2495]

Hell yea

[@victorhugo-db3de]

GRANDIOSA BANDA

[@zebelian]

i was just talking about this to some friends yesterday, how everything has good has died, even indie bands coming out dont have any energy, everyone just wants to be in the woods playing tambourines, music has lost its soul once again

[@mops519]

All the good music has moved underground

[@dragon-id5uj]

then start your own project! waah! waaaaahhhh!! it's easier and cheaper than ever. be the change u wanna see instead of pissing on everyone elses parade

[@back4rrevenge]

💖

[@XxzeppelinxX]

...exact same thing happened to me. Except I didn't find out about them from a Korn Cd haha

[@RudieObias]

I miss being young 😢

[@MedardoKingMeda]

Fucking genius! I love ATDI!

[@stephenfrancis303]

Pre afro era

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

I think Paul's worn the same shirt and pants for 25 years

[@richardrundle7840]

There must be more of this. Does anyone have a link?

[@LaceChaser]

@CoffmanTron3000 The 'Fros were in the process of being grown. If you watch more At The Drive In music videos, as the time goes on, the 'Fros get bigger.

[@idonteatcheetos]

El Gran Orgo sounds very pop punk to me.

[@TheBrowniemusic]

Did you record this?

[@amp50158]

this kind of reminds me of seeing bearvsshark live. that band definitely split up tooo early. bvs was THE shit.

[@idonteatcheetos]

Weird, I must be one of the few people that think they don't sound remotely close to Fugazi/ Rites of Spring.

[@redacted5035]

...ok? Nobody asked ???

[@plasticfirehc]

FULL SESSION, CAN I?

[@gbrooks2]

Best comment ever.

[@pattol666]

what year was this?

[@robertcordova91]

i love at the drive in but i cant say that i dont like any other bands from the past. bands from the past is what influenced and made atdi what they are

[@2smallnipples]

never thought I would see the day omar and cedric with short hair :)

[@adims654]

damn is this like one of their first shows ever?

[@glens18account]

@Espadarank4 - the mars volta and who else?

[@lawnfurniture]

@milkboy94 eh, probably not actually. I mean, this is like 15 years old. He would probably just make him look older.

[@AchievementBunker]

reemijnds me of Mudveyne

[@lawnfurniture]

cedric should cut his hair short again

[@Boabywankenobi]

perfect.

[@tanvo93]

@h879xx well they where creative and original

[@jesseminns]

These guys helped build emo

[@yates525]

Emo had already been a well established genre before them..

Worst intro ever

[@jesserondinelli5160]

most overrated band ever?

[@jesserondinelli5160]

nah, that's definitely radiohead.

[@darknexusknight]

@@jesserondinelli5160 radiohead is not overrated

[@lynxcore]

@@darknexusknight cries the Radiohead fan.

@@lynxcore cries the At The Drive In fan.

[@lynxcore]

@@darknexusknight you're damn right I'm an At the Drive-in fan. best rock band on the planet. :) anyway, just because Radiohead is overrated doesn't mean they are bad. it just means they are overrated.
