You realize he didn't sing and play the drums at the same time in the studio right? You are literally hearing him sing without playing drums. This is just a video, the audio is from the studio track.

[@williamgoddard9058]

@@immasmashyourface Okay, So can you explain to me how he does it live then? Because he definitely does it live. Stop being a so closed minded. Yes, this is a music video however they still sing these songs live or used to. Just because it's a music video doesn't take away from the talent required to be able to sing like that and play drums separately let alone at the same time live and still be able to sound very close to the studio recording. You clearly don't understand what kind of talent it takes to even go into a studio and put out a song like this.

[@lisaloomer]

Atreyu at the House of Blues in Orlando was my first ever concert, back in like 2011. I was 19 and they were my favorite band in high school, after I found out that they got their name from the character from the Neverending Story. That was my favorite movie as a child and I loved rock music, so...once I realized that their drummer shared vocals and could still play while singing, I knew they were talented and I was HOOKED. I got to see them perform this song live and it was absolutely amazing. Still one of the best live shows I've seen to this day. ❤️

For everyone who is confused: the lyrics are about, well, a struggle against humanly evil things, and "becoming the bull" is a metaphor for being sucked into temptation and sin.

Hey let's all complain about the good old days of metal and refuse to admit that good music exists in 2014! I hope music never evolves and always stays the same because I'm afraid of change! :D

[@maximusaralieous1728]

Though I agree with your point, most people grab onto a sense of music that they like from high school and into their early 20's. Music also holds a nostalgia that is very powerful. Discovering your favorite bands for the first time is amazing. Though you may find other bands you love as you get older, it never holds the same feeling as it did before. Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, Mudvayne, Atreyu, Bullet For My Valentine, Alter Bridge, Lacuna Coil, Shadows Fall, for a few examples, all came into prominence in the early to mid 2000's. There are no bands that sound like them anymore and won't ever be. I am always looking for new music, but it is hard to find it in the same taste that I enjoy.

[@jeremymichaelnt]

Maximus Aralieous I for one miss music that too, difference is I don't complain about it like most of the people on this video. I found current music I can enjoy, while still listening to and remembering the classics of my childhood.

[@maximusaralieous1728]

DeathMiniHorse That's true, I don't sit around and complain on videos either. Luckily most of the bands that I really like are still around and producing good music.

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

I really hate hard rock and metal that's popular these days. It's all so sterile sounding. Somebody needs to come along and shake things up. Of course, it's not all bad, but a lot of it is boring.

[@JeremiahDaniel1995]

i agree its just the contradiction of not being afraid to try new things cause you'll never know until you try but if it sounds good it sounds good and if it doesn't just realize that some things never change and that's why we have so many different types of rock and metal because metal will always be metal rock will always be rock but rap just sounds like crap these days. i like seeing things from your prospective.
