I used to listen to Attila a lot back in 2011-2016 or so. I was a drug-addicted mid-20s college dropout going through a bit of a quarter-life crisis and their brand of douchecore party metal appealed greatly to me at the time. These days I’ll occasionally put on some of their early songs when I’m in the mood for some obnoxious breakdowns, but even then it’s a little cringy to look back on for sure. Good memories though.

While Fronz may be the only original member, Chris Linck was there from mid Fallacy era. He may not have wrote that album but he gigged it. Chris and Fronz are both contributors to the sound.

Punk Rock MBA covered Fronz pretty well. Basically saying Attila go no popularity until they started doing the off the wall approach. Blame the fans for not turning on the serious music they put out and only paying attention when they started being way out there with their image

[@desipooted]

I think you summed up the appeal perfectly right at the end of the video! They're exactly like the Weird Al of the scene! The lyrics and music videos are a fun over the top presentation of both the "party every night rapper" and "rich famous rock star" images I saw all over MTV around the time they started playing. It's like they hold a funhouse mirror up to the two music subcultures that inspired them. I dont know if it's all intentional, but I like their music because the instrumentals are catchy and the lyrics are funny to me. Lyrics like "break shit fuck the world"are great to unwind after a long day of customer service, trust me.

I get that train of thought, but I just personally disagree. I think they fucking suck, plain and simple. If you want to be a Weird Al type of metal band or a Steel Panther, then so be it. But it was presented to the public as a real band. So many young kids ate this shit up like it was real music. That’s the problem for me. Steel Panther has now shown how to do this correctly.

[@iamyetimanYT]

@@allstopblue5717 also valid, but their instrumental talent is just too good for them to not be satire. You don’t really hear their talent anymore since it sounds like Fronz is essentially in creative control now. I also don’t think that their music is good, but they definitely have some bangers

[@nightcityronin]

Yeah I’ll die on that hill as well. Attila tapped into a market that made them a lot of money. They’re definitely smart as hell. Fronz is actually a genius businessman. Dude has made himself a multi millionaire doing party metalcore and investing that money in lucrative ventures. He’s able to play fun music, tour, and be covered financially for the rest of his life. Can’t knock the hustle at all. 🤷🏼They’re also really solid musicians who just choose to make party metal. If they ever wanted to make serious music, they could do it and probably gain a much bigger fanbase. Even their party music is pretty clever tbh.

[@visd.9344]

Great video. I definitely listened to attila in high school. Songs like rage and let me get a newport stick out as some of the best ones I remember.

Ahhh I remember partying to Attila back in 2010. That same year I went to see them open for We Are The End in Houston. Me and a couple friends were rolling a blunt in the car when Fronz completely randomly jumped into our car to roll a blunt himself, after introducing himself and seeing that we were doing the same he invited us to smoke in their shitty gear trailer attached to their touring van. While we were in there we somehow broke out a beat by banging on the inside of the trailer and Fronz and my friend did a freestyle rap session. Good memories! They were a really small band at the time. A year or so later I became a DJ and lost interest in a lot of deathcore. around 2015 I went to warped tour for the first time in almost a decade and it blew my mind when the headlining band came on stage and it was non other than Attila!

[@bravesryan9613]

Saw them at local shows all around Atlanta before they got big. I knew they would get big back then. One show the bassist and one of the guitar players never showed up so it was Fronz, 1 guitar and 1 drum and maybe 15 people in the crowd. Fronz put on an insane show and jumped off the stage and shoved me into some people and we made a mosh pit of about 5 people. It stayed insane their whole set

I held out my pack for him to grab one and he literally took the whole box and said “what a fucking idiot you are” and laughed as he walked away. I never smoked cigarettes again. THANK you Fronzuccini or whatever you call yourself now. Over 13 years smoke free 😎

Dude I just came across this,and I think you did a fucking fantastic job. I’ve been a close personal friend of theirs, as well as their full time tour manager throughout the warped era and still off and on till this day. You did your homework, some of the footage you managed to find is phenomenal. Great job and happy new years 🎉

[@Mcbwin526]

Liked and subscribed, so to speak lol

[@Mcbwin526]

Also ATTILA forever fuck the haters. Always nice to see someone give the boys a fair shake because they fucking rule. Cheers to that

[@Shy_Hulud]

My only issue is Fronz seems like something stunted him mentally. He keeps getting older but has this same teenager lyric style and image. And of course his behavior with young fans has been questionable. That said their stuff is definitely a guilty pleasure sometimes.

[@aw-sb3xz]

makes sense. he tried to fly out/hangout with an underaged girl who was friends with my gf.

OMG I found your channel at the beginning of COVID and I binged your channel soooooo hard. Sooooo happy to see you on my recommended again!! I'm turning on the friggen bell bc I don't want to lose track of your videos ever again!!! love your content homie!!

[@aWindMills]

Love them. Just saw them at rage fest. Put on a great show, so fun.. Playing with amazing bands like He is Legend and Islander as well. Honestly, they have always said fuck the haters and I guess I see why some of the take themselves so serious metal bros wouldn’t care for them, but they are so fun. To each their own ❤

Bro I started HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD back in the day, we should podcast.

[@YummiWaffle]

attila is an absolute legend. if you dont like them your just a "i dont want to be "cringe" in front of my friends" they are brutal and everyone of there songs has great meaning and are uplifting. letting you realize you dont need to be like everyone else, and stop worrying about people talking junk about you.

[@jeremiahthompson7266]

FINALLY, someone in this thread with actual taste for hardcore!

[@astralnewton]

A previous band I was in played with them in 2006/2007 in SC right after the MTV show. I remember Chris walking around talking to everyone and just being a pretty genuine dude. The persona for the element of the band is understandable but really he is actually a pretty good guy.

[@Cdxxcgg]

They didn’t start touring other states until 2009-2010, I grew up in Cobb county like whut 😂

[@astralnewton]

@@Cdxxcgg Well I played with them in Florence South Carolina at a place called The Cootie Hut. It may have been 2008 but I know it was them for a fact. I mean he walked right up to me and introduced himself. My band knew who they were already because of his appearance on Made. So I don't know what to tell you but I met them and played with them.

[@celebrityguest.9530]

honestly i had started listening because i had a weird crush on some guy in high school who listened to them, but like he turned out to. hmm how do i say this.. all those less-than-stellar lyrics.. he'd like them all unironically like he probably wouldn't be doing it as a joke

[@OvergrownWithTheMoss]

Cringe

[@celebrityguest.9530]

​@@OvergrownWithTheMoss cringe yeah but also turn and run

[@Da_knee7]

"Awww! My heart!!!" when guy mentioned Drop Dead, Gorgeous. I'd love to see a video about them.

[@jonnylawless6797]

Every time I hear the name Attila, I automatically scream out "YOU TOLD ME YOU CARED!" Soda In The Water Cup slapped, no matter how cringe these dudes were lol.

[@jeremiahthompson7266]

Not cringe, just playing a role.

[@dishinbiscuits]

My algo has brought me to your channel dude! Loved the video. I recently went to Underoaths Voyeurist tour and wouldn't mind seeing a vid about them! Thanks for the content brotha I will definitely recommend. 5 stars!

[@nuoxy]

i feel people hate on them because they take the band way too seriously and dont see anything past that

[@veronikabondarenko3748]

agreed

[@jerkface699]

no one in their right minds takes this band seriously.....seriously.

[@jamesbarron7568]

Once, back in 2010, my bands local show got cancelled as we got there. And Atilla was supposed to play as headliner. Since they were bored and didn't have a show to play anymore, we played frisbee in the parking lot with a broken drum head from their tour van.

[@somedude172]

this came out at the perfect time! i still listen to a few of their songs and my boyfriend asked me about them the other day, and i couldnt remember all the issues lmao. honestly idk how anyone else listens to them tho, i only can when im in a white trash kind of mood lmao i was a huge fan of Attila from around 2014- 2018, its one of the only bands i bought merch for and i have like $100 worth if you include Stay Sick stuff. i was one of the first people to sign up for Chris's social media app he came up with, it was called Spur but i think he changed the name if it still exists. i even talked with a few of the members on instagram because i would make fan edits, they liked when i made fake album covers for them. they were all really nice, even chris. but i stopped fkn with them when it became clear to me Chris was slowly becoming a con artist- i only bought all that merch because he was such a good salesman. all his stay sick stuff, besides the hoodie, was really poor quality for what you paid. the backpack i had broke within a couple weeks, the zipper handle fell off and the straps were really weird to the point that i stopped using it(hard to explain over text but they would pinch/pull on my shoulders and it hurt, regardless of how light the bag was. that bag was like $60+shipping iirc. i think what finally tipped me over the edge tho was when he started making ig accounts for his babies, then him and his wife broke up and i dont remember details but it just started to seem like he was very selfish and money hungry behind the scenes too... i was cool with the persona but that grossed me out oh, and i havent finished the video yet so please forgive me if this gets brought up, but he also started some weird online class thing that supposedly taught you how to be an entrepreneur or some shit. i specifically remember him mentioning it as a good replacement for college, because i told my mom that was my backup plan if college didnt work out for me, and she made me show her wtf i was talking about. thank god i realized a while later classes like that are a huge scam because i did end up dropping out lmao

[@drummerTBM]

We need to chat!! Read my comment!

[@Droidiak]

Back when I was in high school when they dropped sountrack to a party everyone was bumping that like nonstop. In my late teens and early 20's when they dropped rage & outlaw those were fucking amazing and seeing them live was fun man at warped and other shows. By the time About That Life came out idk for myself sorta grew out of it but respected the production value and the fame they finally were getting. Hope they keep releasing stuff until the bands final days man.

[@buddha487]

Atilla is awesome. They are genuinely good dudes. We spent a few days with them and they even helped pay to help us record our record just to be cool.

[@Blarg]

I knew attila a little bit and I like that they try to make a business out of their own style of party metalcore. It's not an easy route to take but they made it. Reminds me a bit of the german band electric callboy.
