[@sproutitoutloud]

God I freaking love these guys. Even their newest record, though not their best, is still better than MOST music being put out. Definitely got some jems on it. But these acoustic performances of Rise or Die songs are just beautiful. Life Lesson kids: Never shave

[@muzikscud23]

This is sparta!!!!

[@bmxnryan]

im so jealous of this crowd! lucky bastards!

[@MisterCaustic]

@Gbdawg0509 Besides that, there are also a ton of British bands, a few of which I love and can name right now, they sound a lot like Four Year Strong. For example, Second Monday, All Or Nothing, etc. I don't deny that I like a lot more American music than I do British music, but to be fair, we Brits hold the roots to this kind of music, and America doesn't have much else going for it besides music anyway.

[@7Underwood7]

sweeet

[@tubadude07]

@blueredfred2 Actually, I'm pretty sure it was the keyboard player that said that.

[@ihaveallseeingeyes]

hey guys im from europe. and yes i agree with you. some europe bands are cool. but im really in love with american music in general. metal/punk/hardcore etc. goddamn i guess the devil is in the USA cause he makes the best music ever haha.

[@willsnowboard4life]

king leonidas is dan from four year strong.

[@cwrichardson3]

Ok...

[@Maco400]

@ToasterRehab YES! and is it the ismfof narwhal?

[@poopoobladderfun]

[@24hourcoffee]

@skate987x1 Abandon Ship or Abandon All Hope

[@drummerboyisme]

i know this is what i work out to

[@ToasterRehab]

@Maco400 Na, I just brought a bunch of pictures of narwhals and told the person to make the skin sort of look like a blue geode. It came out great

[@darklancer59]

nonono! its leonidas and obi wan combo xD one with a shield and spear and one with a shiny glow stick =D

[@LynX9207]

Red sauce on pasta!!!

[@ShiPshapeD00d]

Acoustic breakdowns, only FYS could pull that off.

[@obirb10]

"josh?"

[@smt6791]

possibly, i just know its not drop d

[@gearsdan]

not d standard...they play full step down. I would know. I was able to go backstage for private performances

[@michelejrgm]

their music = gym music :D

[@YouXKneekXIT]

@KERRANGPODCAST @AAPL @EARTH

[@AllenBoardman]

hahahah he is!!

[@randomlimit27]

@ShiPshapeD00d so trueeee xD

[@MisterCaustic]

@Gbdawg0509 that is maybe the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. There are a ton of British bands that are fucking awesome. I could name a ton, but I really don't have to, because I don't want to be "that guy" or whatever, but The Beatles are from the UK, I don't even like The Beatles, but I'm not gonna' deny that they are basically the foundation of all music in the rock genre today. The Beatles are like the roots of any influences of any rock music.

[@dashguitar3115]

acoustic break downs are the shit!!! lol

[@schiggy182]

lol, i suppose this is why they call it "drop d" tunning.

[@imafeckingredneck]

dan is king leonidas from 300 lol

[@riseagainsttheunion]

@AVAFan13 majestic. lulz XD

[@ipwnism]

lol i rekon

[@RyBuStillHatesYou]

They where laughing because they where playing a breakdown, wich dont sound good on aacoustic, and im guessing someone was hardcore dancing in the back

[@livexgold]

@hamroun12 Very fucking tasty

[@smt6791]

[@ipwnism]

rofl 7:58
