OF MICE & MEN : The MySpace Era (Austin Carlile)

[@TimmyTurner421]

The Flood is by far their best rated album

[@clydelancaster2567]

The first two albums are masterpieces, shayley had such a huge influence on the maturity / creative direction they started going in. You all should check out his band dayshell! He just put out an album with Joey Sturgis

[@xtheyan]

I'll look that up !! thanks

[@stephenhayes5714]

Dayshells album is fantastic his voice is so smooth.

[@razorgash6953]

Dayshell is the best bro

[@TimmyTurner421]

"The Ballad of Tommy Clayton & the Rawdawg Millionaire" is my favorite Of Mice and Men song

[@xtheyan]

Hey everyone !! I'm sorry I made a mistake 😓 The band WASN'T formed in New Zealand but... Jaxin , co-founder, came from New Zealand , The band was actually formed in Columbus, Ohio !! My bad 😅

[@nikolakrastev8880]

When I was younger I always confused Austin with Mitch

[@harrispng]

Saaaame

[@jeffbell4434]

Lol! That's awesome dude! I know what you mean exactly lol

[@johnthompson3421]

Lol same!!

[@duydong7568]

Same😂

[@AndrewLemmings1998]

I used to as well. They looked similar and were both tall and filled with tattoos, not to mention they were good friends

[@lostboyfeelsnothing4839]

Saw them on their very first run as a band, hours before the show i ran into AC at a record store in the area and i was wearing an acacia strain icee bootleg that said "stay cold" on the back and he went off about how at the time TAS was his favorite band, ended up kicking it with him all day, he wanted that shirt off my back, i thought it was ironic and funny im trading band merch to another band lol bro gave me every single piece of their original merch lineup, they only had 3 songs to play in their set, as it was before the debut album released, they were such a vibe honestly just fun dudes to be around

[@pauleaxe9407]

I really love the evolution of your video s quality. Keep em coming

[@xtheyan]

thank you very much ! I will

[@danielsocorro4155]

Man I swear every time you drop a new video I always go back and listen to the entire discography of that band 😂 great content like always 💯

[@xtheyan]

Thanks man !! I’m glad you enjoyed

[@Gibbscitysoundtrack]

Phenomenal video. This band has a special place in my heart

[@xtheyan]

Thank you !! Same 🤘🏻🔥

[@kaitlyn8593]

I was absolutely obsessed with Of Mice & Men in like 2012 omg im so excited to watch this

[@skullchaser6425]

well now you gotta do attack attack! Also, I'm a lot newer to the metalcore scene so watching all these videos has gotten me into a lot of new bands, not a lot of people really cover this stuff so its cool to have something like this, keep it going!

[@alexlebon6456]

TheCozyrepresentative did a full video about Attack Attack!

[@devinfrench4924]

Bro that's what I was gonna say!​@@alexlebon6456

[@rpauley2012]

Can’t wait for part 2! Thanks!

[@noendtv_]

Absolutely love this series of videos! And Austin!!

[@weirdkd54]

Never thought I'd be this nostalgic for the most awkward period of my life. Please do a we butter the bread with butter video next!

[@xtheyan]

Asking Alexandria - A Prophecy

[@psychosis8429]

I love this. I've gotten super into Of Mice and Men so anything Of Mice and Men is great in my book. I also had to read the book the band is named after in high school and thought it was actually good too

[@robdavison4956]

Now, this concept is the deep dive into music history I didn't know i needed until now. 🤘🤘

[@nomustardplease]

i can personally say that in the video of Jax, Austin and Valentino interview. that was done at there second show ever in Whittier California at a Chinese restaurant turn into two stages called THE GREEN TURTLE. I'm 100% sure because i was there and i watch that show. the headliner was THE WORD ALIVE and the other bands following was of course OF MICE AND MEN, CONFIDE, THIS ROMANTIC TRAGEDY and a couple other ones. Their very first show was in Bakersfield CA. the second vocalist was cutting it and they found Shayley right after. its been such a long time but i remember watching these guys grow.

[@nomustardplease]

adding- myspace was my jam to find my music and how i followed the road of the rise of this band. from finding ATTACK! ATTACK! and finding out that their vocalist left to build OF MICE AND MEN. I remember watching all their video blogs on their growth. also to add for part 2 of the band. from what i remember of Jax leaving is because he knew that Austin was coming back to the band. And this is just from my memories of what i heard. Austin got married to Jax's ex. So there was was tension between them for sure

[@posthardcoresounds6268]

Can't get enough of your videos, man! I love pretty much all the bands you've covered so your channel is perfect for me. Also I wonder what songs Alan wrote on 'The Flood'. My guess would be Ben Threw, I'm a Monster, Still YDG'n & Ohioisonfire

[@metalskater1930]

all the other KZbinrs I’ve been watching bore me recently but I think this series of videos you’ve been doing will always stay interesting

[@xtheyan]

That's a big compliment , thanks a lot

[@KeenPotato]

Keep killin it big dog!!

[@xtheyan]

😈🤘🏻🔥

[@vi.vi.vi.666]

Another awesome video Yan thanks for the great content! As much as I love deathcore and its mostly what I listen to tbh, I also really like 2000s metalcore and "crabcore" and I would definitely love to see more bands like of mice and men covered in the future, along with the usual deathcore stuff of course!

[@xtheyan]

thank you very much !! I appreciate 🤘🏻🔥

[@eddiemusic2005]

I love the intro when you told me to take a cup of coffee, cigarette, and any food such as pizza, hot dog, hamburger, spaghetti, pogos, cereal, grilled cheese, burrito, chips, salmon, fettuccine, bacon and eggs, pancakes and bagel! It’s absolutely hilarious 😂

[@cruality]

Great vid, bruh. You got my subscribe :> And again I just listened to the whole fucking The Flood album. Just pure fire, luv Austin's screaming. Also, not many people know Austin Carlile's old band "Call It Even" where you can actually hear his singing voice, it worth listening.

[@misterkenova6695]

Keep it up dude. Cheers from San Diego

[@xtheyan]

hey cheers man ! 🤘🏻🔥

[@Justin_Michael6]

Their first album was EVERYTHING to me! I have the yellow & tattooed on my wrist because of this album it will ALWAYS have the most special place in my heart and head, nothing compares to this albums, IMO, wish Austin wasn’t sick… suck a shame… by far one the OG 😉 screamers from our day! Shayley had left before The Depths unfortunately, that song was part of the re-release at the beginning at the album…

[@JawncoreIL]

The early stuff was really good. Never really cared for much they released after The Flood

[@stevec6965]

The Flood is Legendary.

[@chrisjr1247]

Sky Eats Airplane episode would be rad!

[@razorgash6953]

Broooooo

[@kingvamp6664]

I think their newer stuff is way better than their crabcore stuff in my opinion. Do Betraying The Martyrs next!

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Another band I literally grew up listening to 😅👌

[@sjohnson498]

I love I SEE STARS… do a video of them🤘

[@xtheyan]

The cozy representative did an amazing one but maybe I'll do one in my own way

[@Immortalsamurai85]

Got my coffee ready and ready for an important history lesson ! Btw what band hoodie are you wearing?

[@xtheyan]

letss goo ☕ its called "Bound In Fear"

[@karenmedusa7099]

[@xtheyan]

The Cozy Representative did a very cool one, but maybe in the future I'll do my own version of it

[@wesgarrett974]

You gotta do motionless in white or escape the fate my dude!

[@Hardley_Normal]

Bro another amazing clip the self titled album still a banger I am like you I love my absolute brutal stuff but metal ore gets me everytime Hearing emarosa man that guy has such an amazing voice but his history is abit sticky 😬😬😬

Yes a lot of controversy around that guy haha but Emarosa was pretty cool, and thanks 🤘🏻🔥

[@EclecticDivergent]

Uh Oh, My Wife Gonna be a Fan after this one!

[@xtheyan]

Awesome 🤘🏻

[@MrLinkyPlays]

Wait are you really going to end up covering like mychildren mybride, blessthefall ect, yeah your channel going to be a time capsule for music we loved in the near future.

[@imatreeguy1143]

Do you have playlist on spotify

[@Trauzzinator]

I prefer when you divide your videos up into parts to show the different eras of the bands and a more in depth look at moments within them!!!

[@tommoconstantly]

That's Weird, your intro called me out, I've literally had a coffee, cigerette and bagel today lol

[@ZombieCraftSlaya]

Do you think you will make more videos on like slam bands if your into slam? bands like Guttural Slug, Kraanium, Cephalotripsy, Devourment and Pathology?

[@xtheyan]

Yep, it's in my plans

[@EHKUKAPAWOfficial]

(We butter the bread with butter) video please brother

[@hevy_metal]

Of Mice and Men are defdinitely one of my favourite bands in metalcore!! Thanks for the video!!

[@xtheyan]

I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

[@AndrewLemmings1998]

They weren’t formed in New Zealand. Austin Carlile was living in Costa Mesa, California at the time and that’s where they were formed.

[@xtheyan]

I know , that's why I've pinned a comment explaining my mistake ! 🤘🏻

Such a cool band , I wish I could talk to them and make a video

[@goodgrillby329]

Whats the demo song called??

[@Fouldeformation]

What is the song that starts at 0:54 ?!?!?! I’ve never heard it!

[@clydelancaster2567]

Product of a murderer

[@wesgarrett974]

Senses fail video too!

[@lightningmonky7674]

Of mice and men for whatever reason never did it for me, their choruses were never quite catchy enough (for me) and the breakdowns never stuck with me like other bands, but I still wanted to know their history so thanks for another great vid!

[@xtheyan]

Fair enough haha I mean, it's something you feel or not, and it's cool that you were still interested to know their story!

[@maxwellfrost9701]

I love the first 3 albums. I feel like they lost a lot of their creative juice when Austin left

[@theopv2095]

How exactly the band was formed in New Zealand?

[@xtheyan]

I made a mistake haha Jaxin came from there but the band was formed in Columbus, Ohio!

[@theopv2095]

@@xtheyan lol, but interesting to know that

[@Vanguard88Gaming]

I agree a band is not the same band when the founding members leave. It's just they have legal rights to use the name is all. I feel like it's marketing and money behind keeping the name to further sales of existing records not sure how all that works actually just assuming. Anyways I think it's super wack to have a band with no original members

[@xtheyan]

Yes I mean, to me if the band has no original member , they should change their name

It's okay , I'm here to help people discover new bands too

[@TimmyTurner421]

14:30 Nah man that's a poor reaction. There are bands without original members left that sound way better than the OG lineup. It should be all about the music not the individuals

[@DavidAllenMD]

Now there just generic metalcore like I can't stand the new stuff even tho I like the dude from Jamie's elsewhere
