I met all of the band that day. I must say it was one of the best days of my life.

[@Zombies8MyNeighbors7]

i could live with Austin singing , i want to hear his studio sound before i judge his clean vocals but i give him tons of credit for taking over clean vocals !! Austin is the man, ive met him hes humble as can be. OM&M FOREVER!

[@MrMeowMeows619]

dude phil always has the widest smile on his face. lol

[@emmadennis5]

everyone loves phil

[@Toastandbananas130]

Emma Dennis and Phil loves everyone

[@Inferno-tr4st]

omf Alan is so cute, he calls everyone kids, even though he's 22 and the youngest in the band. And his hair is so flippy its like woah

[@MesmerOW]

Shut up... -_-

[@eleanamarie61]

I know right?? Alan is just so cute I wish I could meet him ^~^

[@hiderpnw]

austin is the youngest

[@Antonioblyados]

@@hiderpnw actually the oldest lol

[@rae0819]

I think it's ironic how Austin's wearing a shirt that says 'create music' and Alan's wearing a shirt that says 'destroy everything'...Cashby is real and the government knows it.

[@jaydenhoward8670]

CrankThat RaeRae 😂😂

[@ihatenjoi]

He actually can't do cleans to save his life. But his screams are some of the best in the industry.

[@MemeGang420]

Hands down one the best screams in metal music of all time

[@Toastandbananas130]

His cleans aren’t bad, there are some clean singers in the industry sounding worse live lol. But definitely, his screams will go down as some of the best in history

[@BdJuLy9]

Austin is actually a pretty decent clean singer. He used to do screams and cleans for his first band "Call It Even". You can find some of their songs on KZbin.

[@pitchblackpr0gress]

One of the best nights of my life.

[@ScreamMyNameHoe]

Just to clear things up, I was at this festival/gig and asking Alexandria weren't there, they just played the song through the speakers between bands' sets :) this was fucking awesome though, I met Austin twice that day, and had a photo with Tino before their set. I wish they'd come play round my way again.

[@LiamEshikari]

I was there. They were by far the best band of the day..

[@dja-bizz7841]

After "ALL YOUR LIFE" Tino's snare gave me chills

[@Chillerson]

what if he secretly forgets all the lyrics so he cups the mic and then they cant hear them

[@lookingforamanager]

Austins cleans though

[@itspousseynotpussy3314]

Alan's just like "Phil where the fuck are you going???"

[@Jambalovr314]

one of my favorite videos.

[@The2Eliezer]

One of my favorites vídeos too ❤

[@davidmilligan5307]

Lmao it's so weird hearing Austin doing cleans :D

[@yomammaonastick]

+Commander Swagvala CLEANS?? Those are the farthest thing from cleans

[@davidmilligan5307]

ChildishLikeMonsters Yes. Cleans, My friend. When he sang "I'm finding out. The only thing left to lose this time, is all these doubts. The worst part is behind me"

[@yomammaonastick]

+Commander Swagvala no no no on the record they're clean. In this video his words are super gritty because his voice is trashed from screaming so much. I'm just saying the characteristics of his voice are anything but CLEAN.

[@FateofTheFallenOFCL]

+ChildishLikeMonsters no it isn't screams no screams, he's actually doing what's called emotional agressive yelling

[@kimble_slice]

Austin didn't do cleans on the album, Shayley did.

[@KrissyKoinis]

Aw, Phil's little jump in the crowd aha he's so cute

[@mario650]

Man Austin!!! So Good Idgaf what anyone says... love this guy!!! 🤘🏻

[@pilotresidentdoc]

Closure by AA was playing in the back at the start :)

[@robertwells1408]

How the fuck can you tell lol??????

[@pilotresidentdoc]

Listen carefully ;) haha

[@robertwells1408]

Etienne Rheaume haha ok ok I can tell it's Danny's voice singing but no way can I tell the song you must have godlike ears!!!! hahaha

[@pilotresidentdoc]

Haha thanks xD from :11 to :14 you can hear the end of the synth bridge and Danny singing ''I'm everything we need to make….'' :) that's how I knew

[@BrandonNeedles]

Robert Wells Not really I noticed it lol. I just really like Closure by AA so its a fimilar sound

[@HTMLrulzd]

1:58 is the best snarehit EVER

[@lucyprovenzano3872]

Austin needs to do clean vocals more often, not that i dont love his screams, but his cleans are cool too :)

[@contemplatingtheworld5881]

Totally agree!

[@GodricGrievous]

Not available online anymore, but If you go to see them live they will probably have them available for purchase there

[@iscreaminamic]

Hes screaming and singing... Imagine how much his throat is hurting when you do both live everyday..

[@almost1403]

one of their best performances in my opinion

[@RTED__ERROR]

really?

[@jaredlussiana1908]

Damn theyre better live then in studio

[@visualsofisa]

Austin is awesome & I love his style but your comment is so true...

[@WhatsAnAeso]

Everyone that's complaining about Austin's cleans... shut up, he did the cleans on Ben Threw and they were fucking amazing.

[@Jaybo196]

What you talking about, he is amazing!

[@Yessycakes]

Damn, this is just so awesome!

[@WretchedDrummer]

love the lyrics

[@Nemrod93]

Thank youu :)

[@SGTCloudrunner]

I bought the tank top Austin was wearing in the beginning of the video at Warped Tour yesterday!! :D

[@willsyngatesstock1605]

why is there always so much fucking hate just listen to the fucking music jeez

[@rogerpunk8132]

wow so interesting, THANKS

[@m.j.driver5386]

I believe Austin is cupping the mic because he does in the booth when recording, it does give the vibe it sounds CDish, thus I have no problem with him doing it

[@1kiloh]

mann, he doesn’t even cup the mic in the studio. every vid i’ve ever seen of him recording was done with no cupping at all. even in the attack attack days. I hate when people say he can’t scream so he cups the mic, literally just a bad habit when he performs live. even clean vocalists like Kurt Travis (formerly from dance gavin dance) still cup the mic, and kurt is an amazing vocalist.

[@TomasDengel]

thanks :)

[@timateetellem]

Thanks i didn't know that. ill look them up.

[@justinalexander5959]

Perfect

[@AndrewClosser]

Holy shit beautiful !!!

[@MinjaEric]

I would, but I live in norway so it's kinda hard to go to one of their show's :(

[@pitegaillard]

thx bro

[@YourMomIsATurtle]

haha Phil was just like, " i dont feel like playing the rest of this song, im gonna go crowd surf!!!"

[@amywhiteman]

i was there, and they were fucking incredible, met austin and got a picture.

[@emislovex20]

You could hear Asking Alexandria in the background at the beginning. LOL. But this is amazing !

[@inhumanevocals5930]

i heard AA in the backround in the very beginning

GOOD yeah !!

[@vans2324]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy that white OM&M tank Austin was wearing?!

[@iamthesup3rm4n]

I agree, you are correct.

[@MinjaEric]

Where can i buy that first tank top that Austin is wearing`?

[@MYBANKAI01]

ROCKIN ROOOLL on three

[@SGTCloudrunner]

It seriously is Austin singing on the record. Austin sings "Finding now, the only thing left to lose is time. With all these doubts." Then Shayley comes in to do the harmony on "The worst part's behind me." Seriously, it's rather plainly obvious.

[@itsolive1]

yes.he sounds really good to me

[@Marissa_Macaroni]

They have someone for vocals now. They got him before warped tour and I think hes in the band now :D Everyone is hating on Aaron but in my opinion he did amazing!!!

[@Star.Chaser]

Aarons good don’t like the new stuff though. Lost that southern feel

[@xooamandaxoo]

i love the "fuck yeah" at the end lol :3

[@sophiebows]

Can see myself multiple times. Fucking incredible day.

[@xArchaicRetributionx]

Actually This Song Austin Did Sing On The Album The Flood

[@emilyrenee4512]

I'm glad they didn't try to replace Shayley [of course no one could do that] but I still miss his sound in the band. Props to Austin for trying, though.

[@kaziatef95]

So much better live

[@blessthephil]

it's justin trotta (he helped a skylit drive out when they were here in europe in 2010. nick was sick to that time or broke his leg or something like that)

[@YessiKilljoy]

ALAN WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING OMFG

[@IAmcanadianbac0n]

i know as a vocalist it takes a rediculous amount of stamina to sing and do vocals, especially when this is one of the last songs they played that night.. so for his voice to sound the way it does (which is awesome) is extra hard! the man is talented, this was good, but their first few songs would have been better because there would have been less stress to his voice

[@daxster25]

no the studio version is also austin

[@Darkstar94PT]

In the studio version, it's Shay alright. But usually, Austin sings in the live versions, because as it has been said, the song means a lot to him.

[@ryanwoodrow2373]

I love of mice & men, but Austin really has to stop cupping the mic

[@okkefaber5075]

Well he left the band, so he won't be cupping the mic anymore

[@ryanwoodrow2373]

Okke Faber Thanks for the reminder

[@thekiminthenorth504]

Okke Faber so sad

[@Toastandbananas130]

He probably saw this comment and decided to leave the whole band (jk obviously)

[@BVBArmyMemberForever]

not the best cleans but he tried

[@gorefuckingface]

that's really disappointing that nobody screamed "THE WORST PART'S BEHIND ME!"

[@RmillerGeneration]

What parts?! O.o

[@Evolution3771]

what song are they playing 00:53 into it?

[@Jackeh47]

yes he did XD look it up ^^

[@bored66213]

yeah I know. I'm saying for other songs also.

[@ramonluiz_]

2023

[@shocktop1984]

@Will Cowsill wow Austin did NOT record the clean vocals on the flood.

[@daliahhudson6057]

Fuck yeah

[@WhatsAnAeso]

He's official now. :)

[@HoldYourBreath94]

You do realize, that in studio, Austin did the clean vocals for this song

[@c0nfu22y]

I know this comment is ten years old but... no, he didn't.

[@yungpo1989]

Fuck! Take me back to 2012 please!

[@bradhb9923]

what happened to the guitarist at 3:22 ?

[@fenderplayer489]

He had some personally issue's he wanted to take care of rather than letting his problems get in the way of the band and tearing them apart. Look up "of mice and men shayle departure" and they talk about why he left.

[@hotstreak12455]

Oh yeah you're right because you're Austin Carlile and you know you didn't sing that part Shay did. (SARCASM)

[@Connorrrable]

Austin puts on a fucking amazing show, what are you on about?

[@shocktop1984]

@Jackeh47 oh that's right you are Joey Sturgis and you did record "The Flood".... sike

[@pitegaillard]

whats the name of the song ? plz

[@rocki4k]

He left a couple of months ago due to "person problems" there is no hard feelings between the band and him. It's just what they felt was best. No one else respects it though :/

[@soccer7monkey]

But in the actual recording of Ben Threw, Austin actually did sing the cleans in the song.

[@TomasDengel]

Does anyone know who's on bass?

[@BrandenAponte]

@mmbw132 I agree. He killed it at warped.

[@lletlovelivee]

They've been on tour since what? last year? They were on tour off an on after warped last year, Austin hasn't had the chance to rest his vocals and they're going right into warped tour this year.

[@ble-onk]

Austin actually did cleans for the album version of this song

[@clydelancaster2567]

Ble-Onk he did the beginning part with a little auto tune but then they layered shays vocals it’s in a recording sesh video

[@muhrissah]

Would you like to share this article then?

[@Highway13Productions]

gotta love of mice& men but i dont know if austin should go with both clean and unclean vocals . great show nun the less. show so love for them. theyre doing the best they can

[@mayracanchola486]

Omg is that Asking Alexandria in the background at the beginning...? Oh yes it is....xD

[@JusticeGrantsLife]

Around 3:40 you can see girls fangirling because Phil was in their presence.

[@OpinionMan101]

:O I didn't know that.

[@HeyLookaSandwich]

What do you mean? :)

[@sumskiins]

i think he sounds perfectly fine

[@bored66213]

oh yeah totally. I give him mad props for stepping up and filling in for cleans. But I've seen them with a sub for Shayley and he sounded just fine. They should have a singer that replaced Shayley and give Austin a break. But idk I just miss Shayley in the band :(

[@chxzzychxzz7574]

Mitch and austin are like brothers

[@coolcatfosho]

Who's the guy filling in on bass?

[@MakeGrantImmortal]

I think this is the only video where Austin doesn't hold the 15second scream! :( Still though, really enjoyable performance as usual.

[@SparkleMonster00]

The crowd is so dull I would've lost my shit
