Pieces mended is their best song. And dude. We'll never see a movement in music that matches this one. I am so happy I was there for it

Now in 2024 he doesn’t scream at all live

It was definitely a special time. I found the band through an Atticus record that had Box Full on it as an unreleased demo before the self titled debut released. I saw them live for the first time in 2002 about 2 weeks before the first record released. It was like the 6th or 7th show they'd ever played and they were playing with Mest and the Riddlin Kids. A couple weeks later I bought the record as soon as it came out and they quickly became my favorite band. They played 2002 Warped as well and I saw them there and on this 2003 Warped tour. I've seen them countless times over the years and have gotten to know the guys from being at shows. Partied with them after shows a couple times and made some memories I'll never forget. You mentioned all the drama between members. They've definitely had some, but not nearly as much as some bands. They're friendly with Branden, but Branden was the only change for a long time. Quinn leaving was definitely a bummer and more drama there. Then Justin filled his shoe's and had a messy departure. Definitely a bummer, but Quinn and Branden have been working on stuff together for a few years and hopefully releasing stuff soon. I don't know Joey too well but he seems to be doing well with the guys. Looking forward to the next record!

I'd say they were better live during the In Love and Death album cycle. There was definitely something special about the first couple years, but they really settled in and sounded a lot tighter after the experience of touring for a few years. I could literally see the evolution in the live shows as they happened. You can see it watching old recordings too. From the Maybe Memories DVD to the Berth DVD, or all of the other live performances that were recorded and fan videos from the crowd.

I saw them I believe in 2006 or somewhere around there I was in high-school and I swear this album got me through bad days. This album is pure perfection. My mom's friend got to party with them after at her apartment and I was so jealous 😂. But I was young so I get it lol. I'm feeling nostalgic over here. Best concert I ever saw.

@@jennkieras7848 what a band they were when they first put out this album. It was so special! I saw them later at taste of chaos around 2007ish but can admit that they weren't the same band. All the smoking/drugs/drinking and heaving touring caught up to them and they didn't have the original 4. What a cool thing to know about them with your friends mom haha. I've never really wanted to meet any of my heroes in fear of being let down by them. My buddy toured with story of the year and my chemical romance with his band back in the day and I heard some pretty brutal/negative stories about that culture.

There's footage of Dillinger Escape Plan playing on a tiny stage at Warped Tour back in 2000 I think. It's crazy to see. Also they still had their original singer at that time.

@@creekandseminole Yeah. I’ve seen that footage a couple of times when making Warped Tour playlists.

@@quentinbringthenumetalchil5125 it really was a pretty cool time. These early adopters of the scene transition were the best. Way before the whole thing got awful with the crab Crunk stuff lol

Still one of the most unique drum voices in the entire genre. Some people went straight skate punk on their kit, some overplayed it to an extreme, all the while Branden was always in that elusive sweet spot of being original, unpredictable almost, and yet always straight in the pocket and complementing the nature of the music

@@ExplicableCashewunpredictable is a great way to describe it. He filled so much space in every song

Exactly my thought, good as 2020 lol

@@extrovertedintrovert9940 Thank you, i appreciate the kind words. I worked my ass off to film the best i could.

I had no idea how good Katy Perry was when I went to Warped Tour '08. Would've seen her if I knew her songs.

Lmaooo!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

lmaooo its trueeeee

lol i already did that bc of laziness

Same applies to the drums as well. Dan improvises quite a bit on songs Steineckert co-wrote, especially Blue and Yellow. The Used material after Love and Death, even Lies for Liars (though Steineckert did not drum on that record) sound groveless and a bit watered down...no pun intended.

Gay

@@Marco-717 damn bro that’s crazy but I don’t remember asking

@@hunterwilliams8923 ok beta male

I was there. One word... bonkers!!

If you don't know what these are, you're too young 😂

that song hadn't come out yet

@@lilyderooij Yeah it had??? It was a demo from the self-titled?

What I wanna know is why they didn’t play Box Full of Sharp Objects

@@hunterwilliams8923 sorry I didn't know lol

@@hunterwilliams8923 strangely enough, I noticed that in 2003 a lot of times they left sharp objects out of their shorter sets.

y tho?

@@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime because I want to see it that’s why
