The squeaking of the leather jackets really got me lol

Oh George.. The fans will always be there! We will never stop loving Alexisonfire, doesn't matter what new music comes along

Otherness hit me hard, without warning. I didn’t know what to expect but it very quickly became a part of my life and one of my favourite albums of all time… I truly felt you guys put so much energy into it and not care if it was a commercial success or not. Because it was for you, by you. 🙏

Don't wait too much to give us another album!

As someone who has listened to the album everyday since the release , I will say otherness is a masterpiece

There's a reason why these guys are called the only band ever. This album is beautiful from beginning to end, it was an absolute masterpiece. I couldn't put in order the albums that I like the most about AOF, is just that feeling like if they were a different band in every one of them so listening to AOF in shuffle it feels like listening to a mix of a thousand prodigious bands. I love you guys.

Steeles coat is so squeeky hahahaha love it

Close ups of Dal gives Obi vibes.

George nailed it. I was watching Much Music when I was a kid in junior high and saw Pulmonary Archery super late at night on some 'New Music' show and was changed forever. It was the first time I ever heard screaming like that in music and I was so put off and so enthralled at the same time. I couldn't stop thinking about it and became hooked on the band and heavy music from that moment on.

'Otherness' is a masterpiece. I know that word is overused these days, but it truly is. Any time somebody asks me what my favourite song is, I struggle to come up with a definitive answer. Every song is great in its own right. Gave me chills listening to this album for the first time!

Georges hair absolutely fabulous omg

Even though Otherness is not my favorite album it truly has a more mature sound and this interview really shows where it comes from. It just adds to the likeliness of not only the album but the band as well. You guys are great and are a of friendship and musicianship. Long live Alexisonfire.

So blessed to have a band as unique as AOF to give us an equally unique album. Such a cool time to be a fan

Only band ever. I was laughing, happy and almost crying thru the entire video. I'm glad to be a fan and to have seen y'all live.

Perhaps it’s only me who feels like this but I feel like every member of the band has evolved into their own really specific person at this stage, who brings something so obviously them and that now pushes them into this other place, and clearly they listen to each other so much and there’s a harmony, perhaps; “oh Wade has this thing” where it’s just like ok what’s your vision Wade and let’s go with it. I fucking love this album, already it’s really special to me

This needs to be 3 hours long. This has been the most wonderful thing I've watched in a very very long time. Seeing the boys light up at so many different points in the video warmed my soul. I've heard of artists reflecting on their previous works after many years of playing together. One that comes to mind is Thrice. There's always been a pressure to make part two of "The Artist in the Ambulance" but we all that will never happen. Crisis is that album for me. It was my favourite album. It's a lot of people's favourite album. Even after being an Alexis fan since seeing Pulmonary Archery on a little 13" green see-through plastic tv in 2001 for the first time. But Otherness. It's perfect. Somehow you guys have done the impossible. You've outdone your legendary acts of work. And this documentary I got to learn how you somehow managed to surpass a 10/10. I'm just going to start referring to things as an "otherness out of ten" because that is now the true benchmark of excellence. Thank you for this. So very much.

Wow, what an incredible interview! I loved the vulnerability the guys showed sharing their experience of making the album, and you could feel the admiration they have for each other. One Of my favourite bands of all time!

Watched you guys in Edmonton last night and you guys and the crowd was definitely in the pocket. Definitely stole the show

Absolute perfect album 🤘🔥❤️👌🤟

I was one of those kids who saw you guys on Much Music and was like "Yeah that's who I am now" 😄 You guys forever changed my taste in music and I'm eternally grateful, also Otherness is amazing 🤘

Hearing Wade reference my favourite sitcom made me like him even more. What a man of culture.

An actual masterpiece, especially considering the context of the timing of it, and the break Alexis had

otherness was amazing, blew me away with the expansion and experimentation of AOF. New elements of psych, shoegaze, and even some black metal esque distortion and atmosphere, mixed with the amazing sound that AOF already presented broke the fucking mold. amazing job lads and cheers to that.

This group of dudes is so important to me. For the past 20 years I have been faithfully absorbing everything they put out, playing these albums front to back and never have I gotten tired of their stuff. Quite literally the best song writing in the world, imo. Finally got to see them live in New Orleans last year, it all culminated and led up to that night, the best live performance I’ve ever seen and probably will ever see. Guys, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for existing.

It would have been fascinating to be a fly on the wall in the studio. When the world was stuck holding its breath and nobody knew where we were all headed. All the while, these dudes congregated from their corners of that world once more and focused their powers like some kind of megazord in secret to form an absurdly fine work of art. Just hearing them talk about the energy of that experience, it gives me a new-found appreciation for the album.

When Otherness was released the album kinda hit me like a brick, this band has provided the soundtrack of so many stages of my live, and it is so hard for me to describe how much this band and their music means to me.

AOF was the first concert I ever went to. This was in like grade 10 high school. I was stoked to go see them on this recent tour. Made it out to the Detroit show. I got there wicked early and alone since my brother wasn't able to make it. Held an amazing spot just behind the floor so I had a good view above everyones head.The auditorium went black and after a minute or two of ambient noise the curtain dropped and the room flooded with light. ALRIGHT! THIS IS FROM OUR HEARTS! Drunks lovers sinners and saints opened the show and I found myself holding back tears. It was pure nostalgic emotion. I love this band for music and moments that make me feel alive.

The album is amazing, the songs just fit together so seamlessly. I always listen to it front to back and it feels like one big epic song. One of my favourite albums, definitely!

Now all we need is a song with Dal, George and Wade singing and screaming at the same time while Steele and Rat have a solo.

In Rio was insane! I'll never forget.

We fuck with it Wade 😊

I'm so excited that they made this video, gave some depth into an amazing album! Thanks guys

Fingers crossed they start playing world stops turning live one day. Thanks guys, will see ya in Melbourne

the only band ever 🖤🖤 (i love george's hair btw lol)

Didn't even know a new record had dropped, seen it at sunrise and instantly picked up without a listen and glad I did.. Was enthralled all the way through and still digesting it day by day.

You gave me so much joy to release this album after a long break. I started to listen AOF in 2004 and your music is a soundtrack of my life since then and a great inspiration for my filmmaking career. Thank you, guys and don't stop :) Greetings from Poland.

These guys are the perfect recipe to a very intriguing sound that seems to roll a snowball of musical evolution that just works. Im excited to see where this goes next. Im sure behind the scenes money is king at the end of the day but you can truly see a passion in their hearts for music, creativity and art. And that alone is a rare and astounding thing in new music today. “Keep on rocking in the free world.”

hope (and know) these dudes created something we can listen to our whole lives. not just a month or two. come back to as we age and grow from and within. beauty

Alexisonfire are In a league of there own that's for sure,they pour everything into there music,have all there albums.

the most beautiful 12 years (since dogs blood) waiting, thanks guys

AOF one of my most favorite bands and they're Canadian just like me

The first time I heard Sweet Dreams…I had chills. I had never got it from any song from Crisis, or Old Crows…it was the chills I got from Watch Out. No disrespect to those other records, it just took me BACK, to seeing these guys as a kid at a YMCA in Burlington, and seeing these guys in a fresh new light. That to me is unbelievable. Not a lot of bands do that for me. I sincerely hope they keep making music.

You mentioned being young and impressionable - the "No Transitory" music video on Much Music was my entry in, and I never looked back 💕

Proud of growing up with you guys

love this album - kinda my revelation this year! \m/

so this album coming out of the blue during a very rough time of my life was a bit like a light in a dark tunnel. the fresh wind in a dark cavern that you've been trapped in for so long that you've lost track of time it was a bit magical

watched the whole thing with a smile on my face, felt like being part of the only band ever. 🐐

Another Boston visit this year please!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

such a cool video to watch as an old time fan. It's great to see you guys together.

Just hearing this masterpiece for the first time today, getting some massive Alice in chain vibes 👌🏼

THE ONLY FOOLS EVER we the internet loves you alexisonfire

Otherness is playing in my car since release date. Im driving average 2 hours a day. First saw u in 05 supporting rise against in Front of a 200 people Crowd. Didnt know you at this point. Fan ever since. Been stoked to see u in hamburg couple weeks ago. Hope u come back soon. Covid really hit me hard mentally, like no concerts no social life and all that stuff. But thanks Covid for this masterpiece.

Sounds like they had a blast with a lot of wish fulfilment and branching out. 👍

You guys are absolutely incredible. Soooo soo glad I got to see you guys again this time with billy talent in st kits. Fucking loved every second of it. Amazing show

Prince, the artist formerly know as price, the artist..... please cover purple rain !!!!!!

The only band ever

❤

I’d love these instrumental tracks playing

Otherness is a fantastic record. Thank you!!

Not Wade rocking the Juicy J skull shirt

LOL i met Dallas at a festival - Aftershock and i didnt feel like he was a huge weirdo! 🤣🤣

@19:03 and Hastings hasn't said at word...lol

its great to see chumlee come out of his cage

wade make me laugh to death 💀 😂

🤟🤟🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I don’t know if Steele knows it, but he’s likely wearing a Windward flying jacket from the 40s or 50s. Probably worth about $500. Hahahaha.

I’m assuming this is the performance on Much Music they’re talking about: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJuXm8xl38qmkmw.html

lmfao @ 11:12 (watch 5 min early for buildup)

1st! 😀❤️

🖤❤🩶🖤❤🩶🖤❤🩶

Solid album. I like it more than Old Crows but it’s not better than anything else they’ve done

Come to Saskatchewan...why do you guys hate western Canada?

What is going on with the video effects in these videos. It's waaaaay too much. Looks awful. I assume these clips were shot on various old cameras or something, but if this is all being faked in post-production it's even worse.

Would fucking love it if theonlybandever decided to NOT play the same day as fucking Metallica. Other than the latter being absolute trash, giving UK fans to see you again, would be really. Fucking. Nice. Especially since tickets for Saturday are now rare as rocking horse shit.

The making of the “worst album by Alexisonfire”

George's hair is gorgeous. am sad now just cut mine after 2 years of growing.

The Only Band Ever

We are not the kids we used to be

❤️🤘🫡🦧
