[@WhitechapelTV]

Thank you for the kind words! That's our ultimate goal!

[@BenEller]

Hehehe that's not Ben Savage, its me, Ben Eller! Longtime friend of the band. Played a few solos on their last album. Savage couldn't do this tour, so they got me to fill in for him. Had an incredible time, they are all such great guys!

[@connorboyles3554]

I could quite happily watch a feature length Whitechapel documentary like this.. Love getting to know more about my favourite band.

[@fdkvfew]

This is amazing. You probably hear this a lot, but you guys changed my life.

[@ryanstewart7768]

That's an awesome video. I'm so pumped for their new album!

[@cll1205]

Every time I see you guys so something like this, or Phil talking to his fans, or Alex just doing something as simple as showing us his set up, it proves more and more that you are one of the most dedicated, true, amazing bands out there. Thank you for this.

[@killer5000be]

Insights like this is why I love everything you guys do. True, dedicated, and connected with your fans. Couldn't ask of anymore from a band. Thank you guys endlessly for reminding me why I love this industry.

[@VinnyySix]

You guys are such a huge inspiration to me, into living my dreams as becoming a vocalist, and joining the tour life. Of course I know it ain't going to be easy, but I would much rather be living my dream more than anything, then living with failure. And just listening to your guises music, seeing you live, just inspires me to continue with nothing holding me back. Thank you for existing and creating amazing music! Enough said!

[@mcleitohc]

love you guys !! your music and words are a great inspiration i've chosen same way, but made the choice like 2 years ago hope someday being sharing stage with you guys

[@54ck3r2]

This is really touching to me, seeing as you're my all time favourite band and an inspiration to continue pursuing my dream of being a musician. I can only guess how hard is it to not be able to see your loved ones for so long. Your music is an outlet to me and it helps me a lot. Thank you, for everything. I will always support you guys.

[@SebastianTinajero]

Didn't expect it to be this well constructed great job guys song choices throughout the video really complimented the moments!

[@WhitechapelTV]

A song from our Self Titled album called "Faces"

[@GamingPyro]

This video was very well done. I'm really glad I got to see you guys for the third time in Toledo last month. You guys always put on an amazing show.

[@Jaymze9370]

The world may be changing around you but the happiness and motivation you give to the thousands of people is truly incredible!

[@ToesGoblin]

This is an amazing Documentary. Finally having a band pin-pointing the ups and downs of touring. Thank you Whitechapel.. You remain an inspiration to us all.

[@A7Xguitarplayer0272]

epic photography and editing. Good stuff guys I loved this.

[@jerry-gees]

this guy mathis arnell is extremely talented. this is an extremely extremely well done video.

[@PlagueTheDepths]

I, as a fan, greatly appreciate all you do and sacrifice for people like me; Thank you for being an amazing band, and for being genuine amazing people as well.

[@MrTommyDUB00]

Whitechapel is not only an amazing band, they are a success. This video gives them that justice to me. They are what AILD is to metalcore, the face. I can't wait for the next album dudes and PhillyBo, keep that channel rolling bro! :D

[@sophieee666]

Really kool documentary, always great watching you guys. Looking forward to seeing you play London again!

[@NickTodd420]

Dudes...you guys have definitely brought to light some very intense realities. I just gotta say that I hope you know how much we (the fan base) appreciate all the life energy you guys are putting into this. side note (after watching this, I kind of wanna buy you all some ice cream, and give you all hugs!) lol

[@TheJimboslice95]

I got all your signatures at mayhem fest last year in pittsburgh..... for how hard you guys work and strive great things will come to all you guys........ greatest band ever

[@improfessoradam]

Being in a band and trying to get where these guys are, seeing this gets you a little choked up.

[@PapaCeaser]

You guys are truly a big inspiration to my future! Keep it up!

[@Captain_Tool_Vicarious]

Awesome job guys. Whitechapel is truly a work of art. True, heart felt, blood given art. Love you guys!! Cant wait to see you again. Thank you for all you give. Your lives, dedication, and all the music you give... please keep it up!!

[@octoberinflames]

Awesome video dudes \m/ can't wait to see you again in Canada!

[@gemz_music]

this really is amazing, shows that touring isn't all happiness and 24/7 parties, yet they still stick it out and are clearly grateful for what they do :-) keep on doing what you do guys, you kill it!

[@Upir666]

This is the biggest motivation for a musician !! good job guys ! \m/

[@George5Young]

5:24 ~ 5:25 Yoav (Ft. Emily Browning) - Where Is My Mind

[@RazHafeez]

This was not what I was expecting at all. Touching documentary from you guys :)

[@MikeZitzmannDRUMS]

is this Meshuggah in the Intro o.O

[@jratherton94]

I Am Colosus! Fuck. Yes. Lol

[@1mogez]

Cant wait for the new cd, I saw you guys at the soundwave festival in Sydney Australia on the hardcore stage a few years back, I had not heard of you guys, but once you hit the stage you put on a fucking amazing show. You were definitely the highlight of the festival. Cheers from a aussie fan.

[@SmaXx0r]

Awesome. I honestly cant wait to see you guys in august here in germany!

[@AXAtreyu]

Loving the Linkin Park in the intro, way to show people you can actually appreciate different types of music \m/

[@HateKeys]

Thanks for the amazing video

[@CloggedLacrimalGland]

Music @ 2:49 is "Numb" by Clams Casino, in case anyone's wondering.

[@xboxlad11]

One of my favorite bands. I really look up to this band and the members.

[@jerrysimon2759]

"Just seems like the world is changing while you're gone" I can relate! I've been home twice since Jan. Once to catch y'all on last stop of this tour! Amazing show! Awesome band! Dont ever stop giving us all eargasms! P.s. still need doggie merch! (Size yorkie)

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Very well done. Inspiring, touching and honest.

[@wayfaerer94]

I like that version of "Where is my Mind?" at the end.

[@gailatherat5862]

you guys are something else. love you all.

[@enguerxcorp]

What a great video guys !

[@matth3wrul3z]

Who knew such a heavy band would start their mini doc with a linkin park song! The Requiem by linkin park hasn't been acknowledged in this video but then again I'm probably the only one to actually pick that up!

[@AaghAZombie]

Wow, masses of respect to you guys! I didn't know touring required that much sacrifice. I'll be sure to be there when you get to my country (thanks for that by the way! ;) )

[@nickcourtproduction]

This was awesome to watch. I see a whitechapel DVD in the future.

[@TheJimboslice95]

Day in Day out you guys give it your all. I can tell the agony of being away from friends takes its toll but you guys perform dedication thrives in you guys to be the best you can be to pay off what you guys lost over the process of making it sucessful you guys inspire me that even when the worst has come the best is still to happen

[@ovechkin0831]

It's a damn shame that this tour was how I discovered the band. I have been a diehard fan since and know every word to every song from that tour now. I wish I could go back a relive it. Can't believe I've been a fan for 10 years now.

[@treycac]

Whitechapel is such an amazing band. They are a big inspiration to me!

[@StarCypher]

For everybody who's asking what the song at 2:43 is, it's the instrumental for Demons by A$AP Rocky.

[@XizonAstral]

Wait isn't the background track at 1:04 The Requiem by Linkin Park?

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

I don't listen to Whitechapel (I listen to other kinds of death metal mostly, but I like some of the stuff you guys do), but I loved this vídeo!. It's always nice to see people on the road and how hard they have to struggle and see them pushing through still. Keep fighting!

[@singularity333]

The point of the video is show you that this is not a game, this is life. TIme never stops and things will always change. If we do one thing we will trade off another. You can't have everything.

[@ForDeadPool]

Song is "I am Colossus" from Meshuggah off of Koloss. It's remixed on the video

[@metalwiseguy4444]

"Faces" from their self-titled album. One of their best songs IMO!

[@BenEller]

No, Ben Savage did NOT quit. I am the guy you see in the documentary. Savage wasn't able to do this tour, so the band got me to come fill in.

[@SinisterNL]

epic

[@BenEller]

That is correct! Thanks buddy :)

[@samomurn]

Awesome! Really great documentary.

[@JWGDrums]

Awesome, this was amazing

[@lukethelumberjack]

this needs to be at least an hour longer than it is.

[@sceneshredder9001]

I really like the softer music starting at 1:03 and 2:45. Really helps this documentary hit home, what were those songs?

[@vergil385]

Amazing and true documentary of the band and how music composing and performing is truly a difficult yet passionate career in life, it takes a lot of dedication, patience and hope for musicians to do this. I love this band for not only their music and lyrical themes, but their personality and inspiration to us fans as a whole. Oh and what was the name of that song (and band) near the end? =O

[@LouSassles]

Ha they used The Requiem by Linkin Park in the beginning! That nice knowing they don't limit themselves to one genre!

[@federicopitera]

Best video I've ever seen

[@burgosjuan26]

by the way this is really well put together

[@pacman69player]

JUST AWESOME. I would love to see them this year but they don't go to my country, hopefully I'm going to see Carnifex !

[@c0bl3t]

Mad respect for Whitechapel and any tour musician.

[@feraccia]

What's the name of the last song? Great video, anyways, love this.

[@bashinskulls18]

the song is called faces off of there latest self titled album whitechapel

[@InternalPrimate06]

Great document !

[@hyperdrummingskater]

The song at 2:00 is 'Faces', you're welcome.

[@kaitmariah6360]

amazing video love this band

[@colinmackey2258]

Killer looking piece of video! \m/

[@derekheller126]

You guys are truly my inspiration, thank you for being a fucking great band!

[@GamingFerdaaayz]

Loved the Meshuggah track in the beginning

[@drumsistkrieg1349]

Going into at least 4 grand a tour, never being able to see your loved ones, being exposed to different people every day of your life and essentially living in a bus for months on end is actually kind of really sad. Ask any touring musician.

[@TacticalHyena]

i gotta say, you guys f#cking rock, so see a bunch of guys who had a dream, then went and did it and, almost, respect the fact they did it is so inspirational, well done, you've made it, you have your dream and you are living it keep the horns up and thank you for doing what you do \m/

[@GamingPyro]

No, there was a fill-in for this tour. It's not the guy from Suicide Silence though.

[@jasonstevens4332]

4:00 I didn't know Ben Eller toured with Whitechapel

[@mixtape_boy]

nope, this is the requiem by linkin park, from their album - a thousand suns

[@IceTrey98c]

:33 pretty sure that's Meshuggah. "I am colossus" from their Koloss album

[@breakthisshitdown011]

that was some graceful headbanging at the end

[@connorboyles3554]

Really wanna know who did the pixies cover??

[@Devolver4]

Used Yoav cover of Where Is My Head! Awesome choice!

[@CosasVerdesQescupen]

Hey guys the final song is where is my mind from the soundtrack of sucker punch by yoav ft emily (i dont't remember her last name)

[@emocupcakegirl]

I keep thinking that's a booger, but it's his nose stud/ring. haha. Honestly, this video just warms my heart. I love how straight forward these guys are. Best live performance I've ever witnessed..

[@ChrisS310]

Well i guess you don't always get to choose who you tour with

[@HyperionOrder]

How come one of the Guitarist from I Declare War Is in this video?

[@MrTyrone6505]

I love the intro and how epic it is, reminds me of the Meshuggah DVD. (Check out the Meshuggah DVD if you haven't!)

[@IversonGR]

is a there any possibility that you'll come to greece?

[@stevejervis17]

they play the most intimidating music. but hey seem like the most approachable/ chill dudes

[@DevilShallFuckinBurn]

You guys are awesome, keep it brutal.

[@kelsoph4444]

wickedd. cant fucking wait for the next album.

[@TheGanem10]

Nice Linkin Park in the beginning!

[@modernw2man]

I agree what's the name of that song I need it and that was one fucking kick ass video

[@Matt_Nor]

4:26 I just saw Phil wearing a in memory of Mitch Lucker! That's special, when you think about it. :)

[@vincevargas9]

thanx! guess i should be listening to the self titled more haha

[@highradicals]

I like the music they were playin in the background

[@emoguy5353]

How is it a nose rind if its inside of his nose? i know Phil doesn't have his septum pierced?

[@TheTwistedinside]

Yep ray rives they rock good band
