First time stumbling across your channel but I’m glad someone is doing videos on old school emo/screamo bands. Chiodos and Alesana got me through so much, still love them till this day 😫💓

The fact that Craig is doing a solo album reimagining stuff from chiodos/drugs etc is making my inner emo scream.

as someone who is a young chiodos fan i really appreciate you making this video😭😭 i never really see anyone talk about them and it’s really a shame

Alls Well That Ends Well is literally a perfect record. Every single song on that album is incredible. The neoclassical guitar and piano elements made their music so pretty and elegant. I want more clown riffs! 😭 Jason come back!!!

Jason Hale is such an underrated guitarist and I love that you point that out. I grew up in Corpus Christi, TX where he is originally from and would randomly see him at the guitar center from time to time. When I started college I took an audio engineering class and Jason was in it. I thought it was absolutely hilarious that he was very nonchalant about it and that no one in the class knew who he was. The second class, the teacher came in and was like “Jason! I randomly came across you in a music video and holy crap dude really good stuff.”

“I stumbled when I Saw your intentions I screamed ‘from my eyes flows compassion for you!’”

"I Didn't Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard" is bar none my favorite overly long silly emo song title.

Ah man I miss these guys. This band really is an underrated gem.

Craig was my vocal teacher for a while A really lovely guy

Im your typical "first album was their best" kind of guy but i loved the direction they went in with bone palace ballet.

Illuminaudio has aged like fine wine

It is crazy to me that a channel with such high quality and well-made content, has less than 10k subs. Love your stuff, dude ❤️ keep up the amazing work

I was a teen in Michigan during the 2000's. Chiodos had such a massive cultural influence. We were a whole new breed of mall kids.

I got to record a record with Craig. He is such a nice dude and has so much talent.

Man, you kill it with these videos. Thank you! I remember the day I was introduced to Chiodos. Never will forget it too. I’d like to see a video about Thursday, if possible.

Was shocked to see Craig playing a few Chiodos songs on the most Drugs tour. Mind you, he played with most of Varials as the touring musicians. It was great to hear the words best friend become redefined in person nearly 10 years after I last heard it with Thomas Erak on guitar. Thanks for the great video!

for anyone who want more craig owens, d.r.u.g.s. got back together recently (albeit with a complete lineup change including members of all that remains, '68, and bring me the horizon) and dropped a _really_ good album last year, its more 2020-22 silverstein than chiodos soundwise but it's def worth a listen. they're gonna be going on tour in a few weeks too with two of my absolute favorite bands on the planet (varials & the callous daoboys)

This was my fav band in highschool. I could play all of their songs on guitar AND bass, and lemme tell you Chiodos bass HITS. Recently tapped back into them when I caught my friend listening to hxc. I said hol up we need to bump this lmao. Been on repeat the last week nonstop, such carefree fun music. Just might be my fav band again, all of the lyrics came right back to me. Even the tracks I forgot I loved like teeth the size of piano keys... remembered every single word like I listened to it yesterday, when it's closer to a decade at least. I haven't made it to the illuminaudio segment but I'll say its an album I enjoy today, but didn't back when. It may not be my favorite but it's a fantastic listen from start to finish. I'd take it over many other albums today, but in all honesty the memories I made with Craig's Chiodos tend to persuade my tastes. Rock on y'all regardless, no matter your fav album or vocalist. No one is late to the party when we're all here to party, let's get ragin

I have a fondness for non - sequitur, overly long song titles.

Overly long song titles were awesome. Especially for us mp3 collectors with OCD about tags.

Craig Owens recently did a guest feature on a 100gecs song and it is honestly one of the best things he has done in a while. So I would like to imagine that the chiodos legacy lives on in some way.

Your videos are amazing. Thank you for your work and knowledge

Lexington is one of my favorite songs ever, shit gives me goosebumps

absolutely love chiodos and so glad u made a video on them

I barely got on my computer when I saw that you posted a new video, so I immediately pressed play. Great Video man, always love your content. Also you mentioned Dance Gavin Dance in the beginning, I hope you can make a video them someday, since them having a very interesting history as band would probably be an understatement.

super excited to watch this please do alesana if you get a chance

My cousins band A Second Too Late(Bullets Over Broadway) used to play shows with Chiodos and were cool with them. Never got to share a show with them myself but the scene was friggin amazing back then. Local shows and sweaty venues. Fordirelifesake used to play with Black Dahlia Murder back then. What a time.

Saw these dudes in a tiny venue in Minneapolis in 2006 that was smaller than my kitchen. Blew me away.

Dude...what an amazing video you just made, you got yourself a new sub lml. Keep up the good work lml

"Looking For a Tornado" is one of the best songs Chiodos has put out and it just goes to show that if they'd taken their time with the record and really sat down and decided on an overall sound it could have been as good as BPB. It was tonally all over the place and parts of it are downright grating, musically and vocally.

Ever thought of doing the raise and fall and rise of senses fail? 🙏🏿 great video fam

i recently got into chiodos as well as into tons of other 2000s phc/metalcore bands. and oh my god. feels so great to find this vid. didn’t know most of the facts and fr thought no one knew chiodos 😭 bone palace ballet is one of my go-to albums rn!

Dude I absolutely loved this video. So much fun and nostalgia! Really makes us all wanna sit and discuss this era

Illuminaudio is such an underrated album, in my opinion is a masterpiece and best Chiodos album.

All albums sre great in my opinion but honestly one of my favorites songs was Those that Slay Together Stay Together. The break down at the end is ridiculous

This is so well researched! Great work. Please do more of these. Edit: just finished. I love that your stand-outs are mine. Looking for a Tornado my stand out for Devil. It’s wildly underrated

These are so good! I'd love to see you do one on PMToday / Modeling

some of the videos in this takes me so far back makes me miss the old warped tour scene

They were my 8th grade go to haha. Their first studio album kind of holds up still if I’m in the right mood. Crazy they were so young.

wow, those clips from The Heartless Control Everything really sounds like 90's screamo/math rock, fused with their later sound.

this is awesome! I'd live to see you do scary kids scaring kids story of the year Silverstein

If you ever do the fall of Troy that would be sick. Definitely getting a like and subscribe

I didnt know much of the drama going on between Craig and the band but i got to spend about 20 minutes hanging out with him at Warped Tour and the dude was so fuckin chill. I gave him props a bit about his set, which i had enjoyed thoroughly, and then we talked about some of the other bands on the tour and who he enjoyed listening to. What was cool was that he engaged me in this conversation it wasnt an interview of me just asking questions and him trying to dip, he asked me what songs i liked from Chiodos, he asked me about how i like warped tour and who my favorite bands were. It was a real conversation between two people, not a celebrity and a fan. And out of dozens of band members ive met in my concert going career, only a handful have been willing to just have a normal conversation with their fans. I have a picture with him we took at the end of this interaction, and i will always cherish that picture and the conversation i had with him.

As I sit with my Chiodos neck tattoo, And I love Craig Owens shirt 🤣

It's cool to see downtown San Antonio in these videos. I knew I recognized that street corner during the intro lol

Clunky by today's standards. That's how demos sounded back then for sure. Text book. Early 2000s was great for local music around the US. The main reason? Myspace. MySpace was a great place for local/independent bands to get the word out

Craig Owens voice is just my taste. Reminds me of Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil, high pitch voice that makes you feel emotion and killer screamo.

I have seen chiodos so many times as a teenager. But I always followed Craig and he seemed to have so many bands sound of animals fighting,cinematic sunrise, drugs, ect so chiodos just kinda got lost l. I still go back and listen to them though.

absolutely amazing live, so glad i got to see them as a teenager

I remember listening to Chiodos in 2006 when i was in 6th grade and fell in love with them!! They were my life at the time and i love that you made this video. We need a video made of Dance Gavin Dance and The Fall of Troy, two other bands that i feel deserve a video

Craig Owens basically had the voice of an angel in Alls Well That Ends Well, you could really feel his raw emotion when he sang. Bone Palace Buffet was nice also but much softer if I remember correctly. I will have to check out Devil soon because I had no idea it even existed till I watched this video. 😮

Alls well that ends well is the only perfect album ive ever heard every single song is just incredible this band is legendary and my god do i wish they would all reunite again and give us some crazy shit again. I know drugs is back but i want the old team back. The stars aligned for that album and man i'd love another.

Man, I remember seeing these guys when they were The Chiodos Bros at an old movie theater in Utah in 2003. They were super cool and had such an awesome live show. There were so many good bands on Search and Rescue Records back then.

Great content, keep it going 👍

Saw craig in philly a few months ago and got to ask some questions. He wishes to bring the band back but no one else wants to continue:/ that's okay though cause he's killing it now and he's back back so happy even though it's not my shit. I have a chiodos tattoo and they'll always be my favorite love them forever❤

God I love Chiodos so much. My favorite band of all time, and I really wish they had just done more.

Man I miss being 19/20 and playing shows every weekend.

Loved this. Do you know the band Catherine? Dude, if you can, please do one of these for that band. They were so good and so underrated.

Chiodos is my favorite band but honestly its only Alls Well That Ends Well. Thank you so much for making a video on this it brought back some of the best memories of my concert era 🫶

As a sucker for pop, I loved Craig in Cinematic Sunrise.

I already know my ass is gonna be doing my eyeliner to half the fucking songs you put in here 💀

What a great synopsis and history of Chiodos. I’ve been a fan since the first “All Nereids Beware” music video came out when Craig was wearing a shirt way too small. Growing up, I was also a fall of Troy fan. When Thomas joined Chiodos and Devil was produced, I was incredibly disappointed. They missed a chance to utilize some of the heavier tracks Thomas wrote (see: The Holloway Tape) and then guitar playing (see: I just got this symphony goin) I envisioned a world with them both singing, and that didn’t happen. What my head imagined they would write and what they wrote were two different things. Erak joining Chiodos should’ve been pivotal and it ended up being the exact opposite

Regarding Devil and Thomas Erak. I met the dude at a show and straight up asked him what was the deal with chiodos. He said all the crazy stuff he did on the record was muted or barely there due to craig owens. Im sure hes told others but i heard it in an angry drunken rage but I agree, he was underutilized.

I’m glad you gave Illuminaudio some love here, it’s arguably their most solid album. One thing I wish you went in on more is how Craig got reintroduced into the band, I remember reading an interview with Bolmer and apparently the band didn’t even tell him that he was out. He learned Craig was back when the rest of us did.

Yo man, hoping you find this comment. Anyways I wanted to let you know about another concept album in case you’re curious. It’s an self release by Staind called Tormented. I won’t spoil anything, just check out the hidden track if you are curious. Also great vids, loving the content!

I will not tolerate Devil slander

sad I really loved Illuminaudio and Brandon. Devil didnt do it for me but I feel that DRUGS's Albums are a lot similar to Illum, than Devil?

From first to last!!!!!!!!! Kudos to u for that mention!

Now they’re playing WWWYF I’m curious to see who from the original lineup is coming. My first time seeing them was 2007 taste of chaos!

"For 2010, this was brand new territory for the post-hardcore genre" - I have to strongly disagree there. While "Notes in Constellations" does have exactly the vibe you are describing, it had already been done by Circa Survive a whole 5 years earlier. Same two-guitar stereo delay sound, same half-tempo drum groove, same vocal style (high range, but semi-soft with steep interval jumps) and same lightly distorted bass sound - it's straight up the recipe for Circa Survive!

The Undertaker's Thirst for Revenge is Unquenchable 🔥

Love these guys, such a big part of my teenage years

Chiodos one of my favorite bands everrrr! Can you make a vid on get scared if you haven’t

Got to see them live in grand rapids Michigan with Tony Danza tap dance extravaganza, and It Dies Today ❤️ the closest experience I can compare it to was when I was Sleep Token, also in Michigan 😌

I still listen to their songs and sing/scream along with them.

Great vid mane

I still have my pair of Chiodos shorts from warped tour circa ~2005 and wear them often. The signature “C” wore off in early years, but it still says “I’d hit that” on the back. Completely inappropriate for public lol. They are indoor shorts now

Chiodos + Call of Duty.. potent combination

Great video!

All nereids beware was my favorite song of theirs 😍

I actually never actually hard any of their music from what I remember, it's been a long time but I remember them being VERY popular back when I was in middle-school/high school. I remember a lot of the Emo kids wearing their shirts so even though I never actually heard their music, they still bring a sense of nostalgia for me remembering how popular they were amongst a lot of teens back in the early-mid 2000s. I didn't really immerse myself into Post-Hardcore when I was in high school outside of The Used, Thursday, Refused, and Underoath and that was only because I heard their singles on the FUSE channel way back in the day. I'm surprised that I never got around to hearing any of their music seeing how popular they were back in the 2000s. Though maybe I did but didn't realize it because admittedly, I wasn't all that into Post-Hardcore because I was one of the people who did feel that the whiny, somewhat nasally vocal style could get a bit grating on my ears lol But I actually was enjoying the more neoclassical influenced stuff from the snippets you shared so I'll definitely be giving that more of a look. Anyway, awesome retrospective!

Haha i remember when sky eats airplane came out they added me on myspace and had 2 demo songs i was blown away because it sounded fresh to me with all the synths

Chiodos, Enter Shikari & Saosin were my top 3

One of the best bands of all time in the scene, no questions asked. Them, and Underoath are untouchable. Anyone else I'm missing? Those two are the reigning champs in my book.

Fun fact; Vic Fuentes said Chiodos was one of his influences for the high pitch vocals

Oof I’m old enough to have been at that Taste of Chaos tour in the intro D;

What about a video of the history of Underoath I think it’s also a very important band for the genre

I see Illuminaudio without a doubt as their best album. I've always been a death metal guy and only discovered Chiodos in 2016 so i didnt have any nostalgia for them. So Illuminaudio and Devil is what got me into the band. To my ears it was completely new and something I never really thought I would like but it was something I couldn't stop listening too. I think it's a shame that's all I really got from them cause to me Illuminaudio and Devil are special... The older albums I've never really been able to get into besides a couple songs from Bone Palace. When I think about Chiodos I think of those two albums. So yeah... I think they had something really cool that feels ended way too soon.

I still love them. Great video

The biggest problem I have with CHIODOS is their decision to leave Teeth the Size of Piano Keys out of Bone Palace Ballet: Grand Coda

I had no clue who this band was until clicking on this video, but I enjoyed watching this.

Do you have a video about Scary kids scaring kids? Heard you mention them in this video but haven’t found a type of video about them like this yet, no documentary or anything.

Thank u for this video so cool

BPB will probably always be in my top 3 fav albums

The album actually changed people's lives. I'm from Michigan and this was so big, and defined a culture and an era.

I still listen to them very regularly. My girlfriend hates me for it.

bone palace ballet my beloved 💖 absolutely my fav album start to finish from chiodos

This just made me so much more ready for When We Were Young!

I think my favorite thing about being alive during the ever changing eras of band members was before Craig left there was the unreleased recorded song “Thermacare”. After Craig left, he took the lyrics to D.R.U.G.S. And they released “The only thing you talk about”, as he owned the rights to the lyrics. Chiodos would later release “Stratovolcano mouth”on Illuminaudio which was the same instrumentation/composition as “Thermacare”, with different lyrics. Insane time to witness.

DRUGS VIDEO WHEN?!!?!?!
