Chiodos - The Words "Best Friend" Become Redefined live

So I finally decided to tell the story about these videos. This is a video of Chiodos playing in my livingroom about four years ago when they had just put out their All's Well That Ends Well cd. They were on tour and suppose to play at the backbooth and the promoter canceled the show last minute and I messaged them asking what's going on and Craig asked me if they could play at my house because they were desperate. I was like 16 or something at the time so I asked my parents if they could come play a really loud show in our living room and they said sure. So I invited a ton of my friends and when the day came, them and Still Life Projector came over. Chiodos only drove a van then and their air conditioning was broken, so being as though it was September and in central Florida, they were covered in sweat. So since I had a pool, we all jumped in and had a fun time. After that I told a few of them that I had some good pot and so Craig, Derek, Jason, and a few of the guys from Still Life Projector followed me to this awesome place in the woods near my house and we got pretty decently blazed. We all then tried to go fishing and I was the only one who caught anything. After that Still Life Projector set up and played a really good show, I had never heard them before but they're good. After they played, Chiodos set up played this show that I have uploaded. They played 7 songs, very energetic for a living room as you can see. After the show they sold a bunch of merch to my friends and since there was a 3 dollar door charge(lol) they gathered enough money to get to the next show. I still see these guys every once in awhile, not really my kind of genre anymore but they're still cool dudes for the most part even though they've become rock stars. Hope you enjoy these videos.

[@Iamabum21]

While I don't disagree that they were about to blow up during the 3rd wave of Post-Hardcore, we also had fordirelifesake, Bear vs. Shark around that time, too. And a few years later, La Dispute & Victor! Fix the Sun.

[@gapingshanus]

Yeah they used to play in this small community center alot when the were still The Chiodos Bros. Little did I know what my14 year old self was moshing and banging my head to would become. Amazing

I watch this video all the time. My heaven would be living in this moment.

[@NothingAtAll6969]

My friends had chiodos come play in their living room after something happened at the Venue, can’t remember being this was 14 years ago lol but it was pretty much exactly like this and it was amazing! I remember dude had several bands come play in his big ass living room a lot. Horse the band and sea of treachery were a couple others I can remember off the top of my head. I would relive 2008 again in a heartbeat lol

[@jarrodmoore5306]

was dope af. I got to hang out with them all day

This is the awesomest thing I've ever heard of. Having rockstars playing in your living room is everyone's dream.

[@BsideArchive]

I love the story you wrote in the description. My dad let me host a few shows in our house, and let band members crash in the living room. I'd wake up and he'd be showing his tattoos off to the bands and making them feel welcome. I love shows like this, nothing like it.

(18-7-2024) Hmmm I just finished highschool yesterday, I don't know How to feel , I supposed to be happy but I'm extremely worried about the results, I'll be a failure, or I'm already a loser, I did so bad on chemistry exam that I think I'm not gonna even pass it, there's no fullmark I'll see , I'm damn sure, idiot like me never do that, I can't even make my own dream come true....

[@nastyrex4302]

I've been randomly coming back to this video for like 15 years. We're getting old.

[@jarrodmoore5306]

We found them on purevolume before this album came out. We didn't know they would get so huge when my brother reached out to ask if they wanted to play at our house. While craig and I were hanging out he got a call from Anthony Greene about singing in the sounds of animals fighting. That's kind of when I got the feeling they were about to blow up.

[@buckweed15]

this just made my day brighter to know that they played in your living room.

[@hannahbright6784]

I may not be a fan of their music, but these guys rule. While not touring, they came to a bunch of my brothers parties (we live in michigan). Smoked down, chatted, etc. Watched the guitarist own face at guitar hero the first time he picked it up. Good times all around.
