Protest The Hero - The Dissentience Live @ MTV Live

footage i filmed of protest the hero performing "the dissentience" live from the audience of MTV Live on Jan 23/08.

[@jschmidty89]

When you see Protest live as a musician, you don't move around alot because you're so much in awe. Those guys are amazing.

[@MichaelaMuffins]

I saw them yesterday and they melted my face off with their greatness!

[@CTPa10]

That was a wickedd good video for doing it yourself Certainly best Ive seen of them live :DDD btw PTH rules :)

[@FinalFight323]

as the other guy said, most is in 4/4, but there are a few exceptions, 2/4, 7/8, and 3/4 pop up in some places, and in the last bar before Tim starts the crazy fast hammer-ons going up the strings is in 9/8.

[@lintmunro]

no, actually. Dissentience and Limb from Limb are on the site, which I'll rip later and put up. They played Bloodmeat and Divine Suicide the last time they were on.

[@xhaleyxx]

just saw them on friday, i fucking love these guys. this is probably my favorite song on Fortress

[@guimaj1435]

the guitar is a ibanez s5470 prestige in transparent black sunburst.

[@hellothereimasian]

love the bass sweeps during interprets the law as aging with its eye sight failing

[@jjoel90]

saw them on monday they OWNED!!! they opened with blood meat and they played the dissentience, limb from limb, and nautical some other awesome stuff

[@higler.]

Yeah, I asked Luke at Warped Tour if what it said on Wikipedia about them taking two years to learn Kezia was true and he laughed. He said obviously they like to challenge themselves and write difficult material, but it never took them two years to learn the material.

[@HoraceInkling]

This version recorded on a crummy phone spins better than Gallop Meets the Earth.

[@pb3ch]

definitely the best song on fortress. does anyone know where the better quality version of this video went!?

[@locustloco]

Why are these guys so fucking GOOD!

[@ninjoshot]

that shit would be so hard to nail perfectly all the way through the song but after years of playing it live it would be amazing as fuck

[@dafeesh]

Its like the mars volta/ meets hardcore/metal meets insane guitar. This shit blows my mind.

[@FinalFight323]

nope, I have a guitar pro tab of the song, only the stuff I said is in there.

[@makinrow]

oh man! i was hoping that they played a few other songs from Fortress on MTV live that i could see on here. fuckin' sweet song. rody sounds very good.

[@kearon812]

Holy poor rody all the MTV live performances are played way faster then they are supposed too be that is why rody sounds a bit rushed in some parts but Props too Tim, Luke, Arif and Moe for playing faster then it already is :) Amazing job though.

[@ddensu]

@IIThesaviour if you think this is metal, you have a wrong idea about metal. the metal is extensive, with many subgenres, you can not say that PTH is just metal, because only "metal" does not exist as such.

[@yeahyeahyeahz2345]

favorite song from fortress.

[@Emanisthewickedest]

i just saw them on friday, and the WHOLE FLOOR was a giant mosh pit. YOu can't stand still to these guys live.

[@msedatgungor]

2:28 tim: hey i should join your headbanging

[@bakuryu399]

fucking awesome

[@ilovemuffins1337]

good quality for a camera

[@xBaitMyScenex]

cause this was filmed by someone in the crowd.

[@Metallicafan13]

i mean like, how come MTV didnt film this one too.

[@lukasguyader]

Luke got the new Ibanez s5470 Prestige already! Fuck im jealous! AH!! i want that guitar so badly.. lol

[@trimags]

@2moonsrock Luke, Tim and Arif all work on the music together or 'riffage' as arif states...Arif also writes all the lyrics and does the art work for the albums

[@yeahyeahyeahz2345]

lol yeah, Tim just walks over, head bangs for like 2 seconds and walks back.

[@AlabamaManWhore]

Nickolodeon's color commentary provided by this guy

[@jacobecky12]

@joshkatell this WHOLE band is underrated

[@turnsoonest]

is there a reason why itLEAKED doesn't have the legit version of this?

[@Clammysosa]

headbanging at 2 30 is just hilarious

[@Metallicafan13]

how come this video wasnt with those other high quality ones from MTV?

[@ddensu]

@IIThesaviour I'm not like that, but in metal some things must be subgenred, because you can't say that Iron Maiden sounds like Necrophagist, yeah, you can generalize and say that's just metal, but PTH doesn't fit in none of those metal generalities.

[@rafaelperezrodriguez7638]

hmm is that guitar sound on 1:59 on the song..sounds like its cut but dun remember lol some1 enlighten me

[@tafka92]

true dat. their tempo changes have gotten a lot more complex i think.

[@chrisaphelion]

Moe needs a metronome... you see the bass player go and tell him to slow it down.. he slows down for a little bit then hes off again going double speed..

[@jjoel90]

y didnt u film arif while hes doing those crazy tapped arpeggios :(

[@rustyfinger2000]

can anyone tell me what that brown guitar is?

[@squizz222]

Is that what he says? I've been trying to figure that out. Thanks. :)

[@schlubo86]

he fucks up solos quite often, it seems :) i dont blame him! even if he would sing his solos backwards with donald duck´s voice i still would enjoy it.

[@Ghost3060]

3:06 amazing

[@951258tike22]

its mathcore, but has lots more clean vocals than most math bands.

[@ddensu]

@1223dude1223 Man, this is not metal. It's Mathcore, a fusion between Math Rock and Post-Hardcore. Also, this song, sounds a bit like Technical Death Metal, but, it's not Metal. :)

[@1223dude1223]

@ddensu they obviously know what they are playing and i highly HIGHLY doubt you can do better.

[@Chickenjuggle]

hahaha! that was great!

[@rancidfx999]

whos Randy Blythe?

[@ShadowCrowX]

@KoMiKaZe that's all the rocking out they can afford. 95% of the time they got to stay focussed to play the complex shit they came up with lol

[@CyndiNoName]

I do them all Thrice

[@squizz222]

What the hell is MTV Live? Like a tv program, or a concert...what?

[@AlabamaManWhore]

Did they play an entire set?

[@LeSPauldude45]

tell me about it , there crazy

[@azharoslan]

holy holy holy diverrr..

[@MAJORhacks]

i wouldnt get a new singer he is what makes protests distinct sound you get ride of that they are just another band

[@glenmcarthur]

@Sefremu08 fucking awesome show but very dissapointing no encore :(

[@1223dude1223]

its metal end of story.

[@tafka92]

dude they write music so difficult they have to learn how to play it. and most of their songs have at least 3 tempo changes. i would die to have them teach me.

[@johnquixhote]

hmmm.... guitar riffs at the end aren't what i pictured PTH cranking out live... oh well, it still rules that they wrote shit like that anyway.

[@ddensu]

@lordguitarist00 "Heavy guitars, distortion, sweep picking, screaming", LOL! Man, Metal is more than that stereotype. There are a lot of kinds of metal, and PTH does not fit in none. Just listen to the vocalist, and you can say that PTH is more influenced by Post-Hardcore, but yeah, the guitarist is more talented than a common post-hxc guitarist, but their musical direction, their melodic riffs, and their prog. structures... this definitely isn't metal, is more like mathcore or post-hxc.

[@buchanan012]

YEAH FUCKIN META- alright that's enough for me.

[@FFJabarr]

Not in the musician world they aren't. Tim and Luke are monsters.

[@thisnamesbetter]

Good writing, except for the obnoxious end chorus they put in every song. The picking sounds sloppy on the guitar at 2:37 too. Best song on Fortress though for sure.

[@kennn1234]

why do we care about what stupid "sub-genres" to place bands in? all i know is that PtH is one of the few bands that makes me proud to be canadian. =]

[@troidl90]

omg luke fucked up the solo:):)

[@MrDerp117]

kinda looks like a s1625tks

[@synpet713192]

For the last fucking time. PtH is NOT mathcore. Try the Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Botch. PtH is my favorite band, and I love me some mathcore, but they are NOT the same thing.

[@kevstew26]

This song is fucking badass. Its funny this use to be my least favourite song until i learnt it on guitar it made me appreciate it. I did a cover of this song and i think mine stands out in comparison to the hundreds of others on youtube. It would be sweet if you guys checked it out in my channel and let me know what you think :P

[@ddensu]

@lordguitarist00 yeah, because this isn't metal. PTH is all the shit you want, but IS NOT metal Also, "christ", HAHAHA, i lol'd.

[@MrDerp117]

Boo at using dampeners

[@blackseeds666]

@1223dude1223 this is not metal

[@TalladSirhc]

you say that like its a bad thing, mtv sucks dude

[@bedofskeletons]

What the fack? Who's the loser who wants a new singer for Protest? Like seriously

[@mindvibe]

terrible
