Underoath - Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (MTV live 09-03-08)

[@316Spooky]

I don't care if anyone says Aaron sounds "weak/tired" when he sings; the damn man hit's 2 cymbols, a snare, and a bass drum every 0.5 seconds.

[@BrandonChaunceyOfficial]

the mix is really dry and gated and he has a ton of built of energy here. And more like 0.2.5 seconds haha

[@marcotejada1498]

Thats such a stupid thing to say. Aaron hits hard as fuck and to think that amount of force should come with no strain or force in his vocals shows that these people know nothing about music.

[@lucascerdamusica]

I like it more here than the oficial track

[@JackboyOC]

spencer is on fire

[@danielefumi2493]

20 March 2020. Quarantine at home because of Covid19 and I'm Still here.

[@joshcore9871]

Back when MTV put good music on air

[@nickwick35]

Holy fuck they were all on their game in this one. One of the best performances they've ever done

[@hafizalish]

best post hardcore band ever

[@cummywummy2896]

Hold on. I agree but I also think Thursday is significant and timeless

[@redemptiverevelation]

It’s not even close

[@ives3572]

Ah, the good old days that I'd really love to go back to.

[@hobi_6697]

Same

[@robertwells1408]

This band is amazing

[@camspivey1]

That's why he's a good key player. No one wants someone that just stands there the whole song...

[@Redundance]

Honestly Underoath were pretty much everywhere they could appeal to audiences who didn't necessarily like "scream" really rather incredible i mean they're a grammy nominated post hardcore band

[@felipeseniceros2734]

the crowd looks so scared

[@Dabomb1237]

Spencer is spot-on here.

[@greatstuff605]

It's great that it's a full live performance!

[@BugManiacDave]

RIP James Smith you wonderful man.

[@bryanbaez4412]

I think this is the best Spencer has ever sung this chorus

[@Luizhfox]

in my opinion the best hardcore band of the day

[@andybabb2410]

I totally agree!!

[@googleaccount-so1fl]

probably the best quality performance they've ever had.

[@Jackwrhavice]

Watch the australia live

[@sarahmoify]

10 years ...holy shit

[@UnderoathStuff]

hahah I agree, and I do agree that he sounds better other times live, but he still sounds crazy good here

[@ChristinaRedd]

Finally a sound guy who knows what He's doing! They sound pretty good here!

[@TheOLiVeRAR]

A boy brushed red... Living and this song are the shit

[@Akutsuuu]

So much talent, god bless them all.

[@joshbrenneman]

damn i need to see these guys again

[@ohitsjustjohnny]

for being a five year old recording posted to youtube 3 years ago and only being available in 360p i think it sounds fairly decent, and I enjoyed it. It doesn't do Underøath a justice, but it certainly doesn't make em look band.

[@mjrupps]

He's involved the whole song. Criticism FAIL.

[@azfarsepet9061]

2021 still good

[@RonCecchetti]

omg this seeams so far in the past now

[@GuitarGuy22221]

xDDD Aaron is totally losing air when he sings in this song, it looks like he's playing some crazy stuff on the kit when he's singin xDD

[@mannymartinez7455]

James= kick ass rhythm guitarist he doesn't have to go all crazy he's just in the pocket concentrating

[@brendanlovesgridline]

alot of the time he plays like strings and stuff to make the songs sound fuller you can't really hear it in this video but it is more noticeable in other live videos. He isn't pretending.

[@tjbhawaii]

Like for Aaron

[@danyhxc666]

love it

[@malditoloko112]

Smosh guys in 3:09 ;) cool anthony and ian.

[@Saccrifix]

@ShredableGuitar It's all about technique, and his technique is one of the most flawless ones I've seen.

[@osmarsoaresrosendo]

Underoath na MTV

[@bunnykiller5409]

Omg thats 10 years ago 😱

[@adsid8466]

💋love u all

[@610Films]

SICK CROWD

[@hswatnik]

good tune- good act-

[@SimFootballFanatic]

I knew the lyrics to the song but I wasn't expecting his ME to be so loud that first time lol

[@equisde8951]

Wow vocalista cleaner ❤😍

[@daltonkirkpatrick1680]

Sometimes MTV accidently puts good music on there network

[@RockyMountainWest13]

My god Spencer was on fucking fire that night I can’t help but nod my head with him. What a weak crowd

[@niclis]

Holy shit

[@MNN2305]

Nov2024❤

[@brendanlovesgridline]

James hasn't played with Underoath in about a year.

[@LorddStanleeeX]

1:02 ~ his scream. o.o

[@arw4115]

Hell naw there no one like Dallas Taylor.. he’s screams we’re insane …

[@camspivey1]

I would love to have been there and be the only guy freaking their shit in the crowd.

[@reverberator100]

a lot of keyboard/midi controllers in metal bands do that... watch a video of Crossfaith live. Whenever that guy doesnt have anything pressing to do he's jumping into the crowd, moshing, etc. trying to get the fans pumped

[@wondernerd2]

That guy on that sound board was going ham, it was kind of funny.

[@gwtwband]

пиздонись у Аарона энергия прёт

[@TheNammoth]

Machine Head shirt on Dudley, whoo!

[@TheBryanDrummond]

Ahhhh so good! Funny, you can see the keyboardist doing stuff but you can’t hear a damn thing

[@artur1197]

lol smosh is at the crown at 3:09

[@Zebrasaur]

that's crazy

[@BayouJon1212]

2:38 Spencer goes RRRRRAAAAWWWWRRRRR!!!!!!!!! Fucking awesome

[@ProdByClockwerk]

Actually he’s screaming the last syllable of the word happening haha.

[@beriloaquam]

[@soulexchangemusic]

Agreed

[@redemptiverevelation]

Who’s here in 2024?

[@spartans542]

@Luizhfox amen.

[@tjbhawaii]

That's just chris. It's kind of his thing. Watch the video from when the sun sleeps

[@MegaHeatdrive]

awesome aaron, how did you do that...? -miss him so much..

[@RickyVengeance777]

Spencer with a moustache! :O

[@Bishp25]

mtv actually has some good bands playing for once

[@DreamCheaters]

post-hardcore

[@hayden5567]

Chris Farley on keyboard?

[@JeserNoob]

Bobitto Garcia *Chris Dudley a great versus a legend

[@ctretbar93]

That crowd needs to get the thumbs out of their asses and get into that music!

[@marcsfortaner]

@mjrupps yeah but he´s headbanging and acting like playing all the song

[@MrSkagkiller]

I'd like to see any of the people who say that try to do what he does haha

[@WhereOceansMeeet]

Probably the only good band that's been on MTV in the last decade?!

[@mannymartinez7455]

On what he plays

[@DeadlyDropin]

where's the mosh pit?!?!?!

[@hundredandonenames]

nearly every band sounds bad over recording equipment like this, they will sound 1000000x better live...

[@Verrick88]

Because he wants to....

[@bassplayer773]

notice how no one is getting into it?

[@Jayko337]

Sick performance, but i feel the lack of crowd energy kind of brought them down. It was literally just a bunch of kids with their cell phones out. WTF is wrong with the world? I'd be going crazy...

[@mjrupps]

@marcsfortaner The intro...

[@JeserNoob]

@MrOhjames Heck yeah! lol

[@VOZZIFY]

lol did they turn off the bass or sometihng

[@danieljakubovic2294]

Paul van Hutten sadly

[@keanucarmean9843]

The crowd looks like they were expecting Taylor swift to come out

[@PhoenixBardth]

The audio sounds like it was recorded by some bare wires and a dirty sock. Good job, MTV, stick to your teen moms and leave Underoath alone

[@DingleberrryDan]

.......5 years later, and you have yourself a very delayed, but very well-deserved "lol"

[@bongofury5924]

The LAST edgy presentation MTV had was Frank Zappa in 1982.....Sad but true

[@nic35761]

i tried aarons style of drumming ...my muscle size has doubled....its a workout....just sayin

[@DanThornton01]

Why the fuck are the crowd just standing there with cameras? Headbang for fuck sake!

[@sjholmes101]

My opinion is that Dance Gavin Dance is... lol

[@JesusSteven]

2:01 Huele a papel :v

[@Hans0622]

woah woah! since when does MTV play music?

[@alexandermorreale9907]

These MTV canada performances are mixed horribly

[@peacexisxfree]

+Alex Morreale straight up, man. sounds like shit, and it's actually not underoath.

[@niclis]

I was just thinking it sounded pretty good, especially compared this Fuel TV one kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqG5en6FpNqjobM

[@Davidgruntslayer]

@nic35761 oh you mean going nuts and owning the drums at every turn? ya he's sorta manly....just sayin

[@iZetsuboushita]

@osmarsoaresrosendo :D

[@marcsfortaner]

not a critic just an opinion

[@marcsfortaner]

Why does the keyboard guy acts like he is playing all the time .. There´s no keyboards on this song.

[@soulexchangemusic]

Honestly i think the guitar player should have left(Not Timmy) i mean everyone is going nuts and he is just standing there, overall 5/6 members gave a sweet performance

[@christopherjames2011]

You have never seen a show

[@billpretzelhoof]

Nastiest guitar tone in any metalcore song.

[@Waffnub]

Do you think anyone cares about such technicalities ?

[@silentrockGAZETTE]

Ive seen better crowd in the orchestra with a seat

[@derreckossas4951]

Dry mix

[@Shamoart]

still the sound aint that good as it could be. :P

[@tyler4girlz]

Terrible soundman.

[@oneeighthundredblink1824]

These guys are literally nothing without Aaron Gillespie. It's so obvious.
