this guitar-riff coming short after "...alone again, tonight" gets my shivers down my spine. awesome!

[@willpratt2808]

Filthy

[@the88thdarcstar]

Same and it's been almost 15 years

[@snarp408]

I forgot how good this song was i still love it, even 15 years later!

[@maidoutfit]

Alexisonfire is probably the only band I could come back to at any time and enjoy the hell out of their music, crisis truly was their best album. RIP guys, I'll sure as hell miss you but I'll always have your music

[@patrickgrondines-t2b]

i know this comment is 12 years old but they have been back together since 2015 and did an album called otherness in 2022

[@mEcroboss]

this song has so much depth in it its truly a masterpiece and a reflection of our lives wich if we dont live every day on our fullest we will end up like boiled frogs eventually regreting the things we didnt have done and missed dreams

[@hmm6366]

Old man sits at his desk One year from retirement, And he's up for review Not quite sure what to do. Each passing year The workload grows. I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late For things to go my way It always ends up the same (Count your blessings) I must be missing, I must be missing the point Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise (Count your blessings on one hand) So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight. There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life Poor little tin man, Still swinging his axe, Even though his joints are clogged with rust. My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away. Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day (Count your blessings) My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away. Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late (Count your blessings on one hand) So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life. Can't help but feel betrayed, Punch the clock every single day There's no loyalty and no remorse. Youth sold for a pension check And it makes him fucking sick He's heating up, he can't say no (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight, There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life. (So wait up) So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die Wait up for me Wait up for me Wait up for me

2021 and it still bangs

[@poloboo911]

i must admit i had heard the name alexisonfire loads over the past few years and then before christmas my mate had this song on in his room when we were hanging out and it just stuck in my head... since then i only started liking them more... worth a listen...

[@joshmethat]

Soundwave 2010 Sydney Alexisonfire Best Band Of the Day..will be missed by the ones who appreciated their enthusiasm on stage

[@ohyeahitsquack]

This album came out when I graduated high school. Fuck i am getting old. Fuck I love AOF.

[@TeethSink]

Never really taken much notice of this band, but decided to actually sit down and give it a listen. I'm glad I did.

[@patrickgrondines-t2b]

THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cas36t]

@GamInvaders How does he miss out? The great music they made is still here to enjoy.

[@NukeJayLP]

Seen this band live 3 times, it's sad to see it come to an end. RIP !

[@Xixonixau]

isa pa toh,.!!!

[@xxlisaheartsmakeupxx]

omfg. this is the first time i've heard the real one. I've only heard Dallas Green's cover and its way quieter and slow.. I like them both. :)

[@wizardjr23]

Some souls learn to accept their cage, others will never stop resisting

[@TK.Gaming20]

28 years old and here for 15 of them 🤟

[@madmike1708]

its about the song, which is when your close to retiring they pile up the work so much you might want to quit so you get no pention

[@Zolga00]

very nice...

[@andrewcramp7569]

Amazing

[@SirVontezz]

First song to getme into what i listen to

[@Cryptix001]

it's that when you put the frogs in warm water and slowly bowl, they don't notice the change in temperature because it's gradual.... i.e. they don't perceive the beginning and 'end' temperature, they only become accustomed to the discrete increases and can't save themselves. i had never thought the song was about being stuck in a job though, that's cool.

[@MojoRyzon]

wicked bad ass!

[@McFarfiNoodleFilms]

alexis on fire

[@McGovP]

Listening to this on a laptop does not do it justice!

[@Goolley11]

so glad i was one of the lucky ones to see them live

[@tumelo4526]

😲 always got familiar chills when listening to day old hate, never knew this!

[@osidiusemphatic3505]

I know this was released 17 years ago, but I think Vagrant could have uploaded it at a higher resolution than 240p, haha.

[@fallonrobison1190]

LOVE IT

[@mimcofied]

i reckon this song is more than just about a man stuck in a job..but about being in a situation that if you were put straight into you would jump straight out of but if you slowly get into whatever situation..its so hard to get out of

[@Paddythelaad]

I will only stop listening to their old music when they make new music. I am waiting.

[@RobAnderson0]

Why have I only just discovered this band?!

[@TheHenchJellyfish]

Right, just to clear this up for everyone.... The title, "Boiled Frogs" comes fro ma popular misconception that, if you throw a frod in boiling water, it jumps out, but if you leave it in warm water and turn up the heat, then it just lays there until it dies. The song was written by George when he found out the fridge company his dad had worked in for the last 40 or so years, was trying to find way to sack him, so they didn't have to pay his pension. and the two just connect, I guess

I can't believe this clip only has 279 likes and 99,509 views

[@Thegoreofitall]

Even though he's joints are clogged with rust!

[@KatoNash]

@madmike1 It's just hardcore punk music. I don't think they were inspired by each other, they both just play a relatively similar genre with similar song characteristics. Fast tempo, aggressive vocal styling, etc.

[@rudineipicinini7224]

Simplesmente é triste saber que uma banda tão significativa pra história do post-hardcore pode vir a acabar. Uma grande perda para todos nós.

[@diascinzas]

Eles voltaaaaaram

[@xtremechipmunk10]

dallas green's version of this is so poetic and sweet. each version is amazing :)

[@CityByTheLight]

This video goes with the song well. Though I'm not sure about Ratbeard's part.. it's a cool idea but it ended up just being him swimming endlessly every couple of scenes.

[@hockeypro99jacob]

agree

[@Evnyofdeath]

@iSHYTmyPANTS I can't find any spelling mistakes. If your talking about me typing "Axel is on fire" instead of "axelisonfire" the reason is I was referring to the Kingdom Hearts character Axel who controls Fire

[@addmarian]

banger

[@dagonal]

No. Boiled frogs refers to being stuck in a job where, even if you don't like it, after long enough you'll live with it. Boiled frogs originally comes from actually boiling frogs...apparently if you just throw a live frog into a pot of boiling water, he will jump out. But if you put him in warm water and then slowly bring up the heat...he will actually die in there, or something like that.

[@kevinking1555]

Yessum

[@whiteflag101]

@adionice no no, i meant the thing about boiling frogs :P it was on live television a guy threw a frog into a boiling pot and it just sat there

[@parafrazor]

back in 2006 we had no HD videos... :D

[@AndrewDaniele87]

haha that's so random to hear something Chelsea related on an alexisonfire video :P

[@adionice]

@whiteflag101 actually that is the meaning, its about one of thier dads.

[@funnyreply]

@madmike1 yeah, and this is ho i got into listening to alexisonfire, cuz my friend said that if i like rise against ur gonna like alexisonfire!

[@durabubble]

Hamilton punk/metal great stuff

[@roxx0n]

Fuck of the genre, it's good music.

[@zoha1992]

toronto?

[@Msjonaylor1991]

Shall be seeing you tonight :)

[@adionice]

ok i must say one thing to people who dont no it is Alexis on fire it was Alexis fire but they where gonna get introuble so they changed it to Alexis on fire not Alex is on fire.

[@patrickkernahan7054]

brrrrp!

[@Squint--eastwood]

Yeah i was a little "GODDAMMIT MOTHERF&*%KER SAY IT RIGHT" in my head, but then i caught myself on =D

[@RicaaaSAF]

This is how I feel every day...

[@Sssschiller]

who of them is the swiming guy? the bassist?

[@madmike1708]

I feel when they made this song they was inspired my Rise Against, or from the start they was. Because this song just reminds me of Rise Against, when it comes to the tempo, guitar and drums, and maybe the singer. But a EXTREMELY heavyier and hardcore rise against

[@Gunbusterz]

God fucking damnit I miss AOF so much. :'(

[@chicano1vato]

meh i dont really get this video but there the best band in my books lol YEAH AOF

[@JesusFreakDH]

@RangeOfJav how does one "Herd" their music? With a Sheep dog?

[@loneranger721]

If you’re here in 2023 you’re a legend

[@Strongerthananyfaith]

@tjdlovepancakes4life Thanks, i'm new to this band, and didn't know them until yesterday so, i wasn't sure.

[@superkid5647isweird]

the really sad this is that you've got a point there. but Alexisonfire is freakin nuts tho

[@wjlax11]

That is too bad. Check out City and Colour, that is Dallas Green on his own. He is so friggin amazing.

[@Strongerthananyfaith]

is this band called "Alexis on fire" or "Alex Is On Fire" ?

[@ZeugmaP]

Not gonna lie, I used to dislike this genre of music because I thought it was cheesy, but now I regret not listening to it earlier.

[@tjdlovepancakes4life]

@Strongerthananyfaith Alexis on fire

[@qwertyughhh]

City and Colour is perfect. Alexisonfire is perfect.. Basicallly, Dallas Green is perfect no matter what he's doing

[@Evnyofdeath]

AXEL IS ON FIRE!? SOMEONE GET THE FIRE EXTI- Oh wait, he controls fire :/

[@wtfcaniput]

@joshmethat I was there too. Best fucking act of the day

[@l3iiSON]

when you post a song lyrics in the description should be manditory.

[@zombiedanceprod]

@thsuxandirock oh yeah, i just thought alex-is-on-fire would make more sense lol

[@whiteflag101]

@dagonal that actually isnt true

[@madmike1708]

I know that, but boiled frogs, the song its self, sounds like rise against in my opinon, kinda like young cardinals sounds like dropkick murphy in my opinon

[@cristof41]

time when post hardcore was cool

[@amulawa16]

@H7MLRulezD00d precisely lol

[@Northoc]

OASIS FUCKS THIS UP

[@dakotadmh62]

[@eBeez123]

[@eBeez123]

[@jfowler88]

The first verse is pretty blunt about it...

[@zombiedanceprod]

[@brayden647]
