Trivium - Like Light to the Flies & Caustic Are the Ties That Bind @ The Wiltern 2-7-2012

"Like Light to the Flies" or "Like Light", as it is often referred to, is a song by heavy metal band Trivium and is the first single and music video from their 2005 album, Ascendancy.
"This song is about people's attraction to all forms of tragedy. It seems like everywhere you turn to today (e.g., television, newspaper, magazine, movies, etc.) it's all about murder, violence, war, cruelty- and it's because this is what sells; people are totally captivated by subjects in this vein. We are the flies." - Matt Heafy.
Also from In Waves the fifth studio album. Trivium "Caustic Are the Ties That Bind" Live @ The Wiltern Los Angeles, CA 2-7-2012.
"Like Light To The Flies" featuring Austin Dickinson (Rise to Remain) on vocals at the end of the song.

that last chorus with Austin and transition to Caustic was fucking amazing

[@Opiumsvele]

Impressed by how Matt can talk and play at the same time.

[@version.x342]

Kick Pedal madness!

[@AmadChima]

That double bass...

[@xheavyxstormx]

It's Austin Dickinson from Rise to Remain (Bruce Dickinson's son) !

[@MrLodeus]

They have gotten better and better over the years live. Really tight.

[@Parafiestas]

Dat bass drum!

[@masterxplodur]

best collab evar!!! amongst young metal bands for the record

[@MandyDewhurst]

Can't wait to check you guys out next month in Mel, Australia!! \m/

[@piposauriotaylor]

MATT es de lo mas pinche mejor es mi inspiración TRIVIUM is the best

[@masterxplodur]

it's cool to see since normally you don't see much like that at all from these guys :)

[@RetroFarfar]

Nick played Like Light To The Flies perfectly. I think I jizzed at least 5 times.

[@elginp8142]

7:59 that bend though

[@pinirron]

that drummer is insane! and bruce should be proud of his son.

[@EdwardFlores562]

Well peeps @ 4:42 Matt waves down & says "Austin from Rise to Remain"

[@jamesfox2004]

Every time I've seen them they get better and better. I love how Corey does backup screams live, and Paolo does backup clean. It makes it more dynamic, only thing missing is Travis Smith, much more technicality in the drumming with him, this new dude has the speed but just missing... Still love em and their music! \m/

[@HarryTheGuitar]

HOLY CRAP

[@afjkaf312]

LIKE LIGHT TO THE FLIESSSS *ROARRRR*

[@athannos]

[@carburial]

matt dijo gracias !

[@Siorse]

I'd say Nick has his technical side :3 I mean, Shattering the skies above has some technical parts to it, among other songs

[@screamingismyair]

austin dickinson!!!!!!

[@FtaCapoeiraWoot]

Austin Dickinson, the son of Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, and the lead singer for Rise to Remain

[@Badmeets3VIL7]

[@FirIefanzZ]

[@MandyDewhurst]

[@jhonyako]

The best song of the fuck!#9 world

[@guitarking9]

[@kennerfalk1]

[@arthurlarrubia]

I got a special edition of ascendancy from my gf, it came with some live songs, including Like light to flies, and man, they are sounding much better now.

[@blastingreviews2]

[@amvtunage7694]

[@Moonspellia666]

[@Trivium1086]

This was one of their best performances of this song since Pomona back in '09

[@inMav88]

Who is the guy at the very end of Like Light to the Flies?

[@Jordanpascal]

@MandyDewhurst HOW GOOD WAS SOUNDWAVE :D

[@Jaybo196]

Is that Austin from Rise To Remain?

[@KPLolek]

1:05 Corey walking on the strings :D

[@Ripz241]

[@TheBrothertrip]

8:11 No! Don't fucking do it! You're in the front of the camera! We can't see nothing!

[@MATheus5555able]

who the fuck is that guy that enters in the middle of like light to the flies?????

[@trivium4c]

i hate so much nick's drum style he's playing like trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr all the fking time, god bless the new drummer

[@veljkoblagojevic]

***** His awesome drummer if you just listen to him smashing those drums but he doesn't lock up to the rest of band what pretty crucial :D Lars Ulrich is a lot worse but he is locked to song so it's sounds much better

[@papascoa]

Veljko Blagojevic Dafuq are you saying? Are u high to compare Nick to Lars ? Lol

[@veljkoblagojevic]

Hahaha I know LOL

[@Sphoam]

wait.. Like Light to Flies is in Drop D, and Caustic is Drop C#, they didn't even do an equipment change?

[@kmanrocks7375]

They play like light to flies in drop c# live

[@TheDrogich]

they play all songs on 6-string guitars in C#, so it's easier for Matt to sing, so he can withstand long tours and so his voice doesn't worn-out

[@arthuRock88]

It's easy, both songs are played in Drop C#

[@Jrocka7x]

"Make up words" because it was also on Sims 2. haha

[@0BadInfluence0]

still enough metal to rebuild new yorks subway. ._.

[@SirJaZZa01]

Downpicking gods...

[@adhnrjb]

NIck's drumming here is disgusting

[@jipak93]

Nick should stop using triggers. It ruins his sound.

[@MrDeeeerp]

Nick's a great drummer, but those triggers sound like crap man!
