CRAB-CORE REDO: Attack Attack! Make New "Stick Stickly!" Video!

Who knew that a group could be entirely bland yet piss off every bone in my body at the same time

The Vocoder on that dudes voice is hilarious. I think he should have a vocoder battle with Zapp. See what you guys think. Here’s the link.

The video cannot be shown dickfore at the moment. Please try again later.

yeah, this video came before the other one

OH NOOOOO.. a friend sent me this clip a few weeks back and now it crossed your screen. Those muppets look like they’d have trouble pooping. I HATE these poses. In Manchester, Oct.08, at the ITC event I’ve seen a band called ATTACK! ATTACK! and I remember that I found them quite ok. Go figure. BUT.. BUT.. it was a different band. So, this is the clue: There is at least one more band with the exact same bandname. That’s bad. pffff.. I hope I’ll never see nor hear the american A!A! ever again and cheer up for the less terrible british A!A!

Why didn´t anyone came up with a “Crap-Rock” joke ?
Am I really the first one ? Is that joke to simple ?
God … Where´s Dimebag when you need him…
It seems to me that metal in general is slowly losing his testosterone. I mean : look at these gay dudes and then compare em to what Metal Guys used to look like back in the Days (Pantera, Slayer, fuck… even Bodycount). Metal use to be an subculture based on expressing aggression into music. Nowadays they sing jesus-christ gospel songs and flip their guitars in choreo. Religion isnt very metal, is it ?

hahahahahha…thanks for more free press, cracka!

Damn, I thought I wasn’t going to bite the hook and join this discussion, but man, after reading the most recent posts on lats week’s Gossip column about “The Attack” and after reading a speech on “Why music matters” by the head director of the Boston Conservatory this morning, I just felt that, as a relatively responsible citizen of the world, I had to jump in and try not to inflict moral damage on this young gentleman named John Holgado, but to try and make an effort and inject some cultural concience into that brain of his that just seems to be rotting away (just like the brains of many other young peope around the world) in the disgusting filth that modern day pop culture is.

John I know you’re young, I know you dream of stage lights, arenas, tour busses, six figure record deals and amazing record release parties with “important” people cheering for you and your other bandmates, because, sadly, that’s what the people on tv shows, magazines and websites make out of being a musician or an artist in general today. I know it because you like to brag about how your t-shirs and your cds are selling really well at your shows and how you get to slay a lot of youg girls and what not. John have you ever heard of this band from back in the 90s and early 00s called “Limp Bizkit”? I bet you have, you might be young, but not young enough to not have listened to those guys. They got pretty big on their soulless music you know? So yeah, you and your friends might make that big and all (I mean if THOSE guys managed to do it, why the hell not you right?), but have you heard of those guys lately? I sure haven’t, once the novelty wore off, once their audience grew up, that band slowly faded into oblivion and all of their members got lost in the merciless shuffle of the modern music industry. And what got left behind after that? I’ll tell you what: nothing.

Today no one talks about Limp Bizkit (unless you’re gonna make joke about it, which makes things even sadder) yet you find people talking respectfuly about all those “lame old bands” (as you like to call them) for some reason. Maybe it was because they actually meant something. It makes me sad to read your posts where you compare yourself to the the punks from back in the day. Those punks from back in the day, at least the one’s that are remembered with respect (So no, they’re probably not the ones that come to your mind) had the conviction of defying society’s status quo, not that of making some sort of fashion statement. Old punk bands like The Clash, The Stooges, The Buzzcocks, they all had their own sort of integrity and an identity of their own before they became famous, and that’s why (some of them at least) they continued to make great music and awesome documentaries about them were made.

John take a look at your band’s videos and photos and give your own records a spin and then do that same thing with the final product of the other bands in your “scene” , you know, your peers, and then ask yourself “Are we defying the status quo?” Sadly, you’ll find yourself answering “No”, you’ll find yourself realizing that you are part of the status quo, you are part of a bi-product of the trash today’s media feeds to the new generations, but at least you’ll be aware of it and maybe you’ll get rid of the manufactured identities some store sold to you and your friends and you’ll start trying to create some meaningful and unique, and you’ll start seeing why a lot of people, old and young, respect those “lame old bands” you talk about.

I used to listen to some really crap music in my younger days, fortunately, curiosity made its way into my musical life and I started not only looking forward but also back to the history of music and found myself surrounded by unmeasureable amounts of great records from every era of rock n roll. So yeah kid, give it a try, get rid of your “metal/death/emo/hardcore” uniform and just live the whole spectrum of music and maybe your band wont only be remembered as a mere joke like Limp Bizkit.

the autotune is ever present.

baahahaha. these guys were at warped tour and completely fucking cut up by the other bands, specifically Gallows.
i went to warped cuz i got a free ticket and thought, fuck why not? so there i was watching Frank Carter talk a whole lot of shit about how Attack Atack, brokencyde, and jefree star among others were ‘complete fucking shit’ [said in brit accent]. fucking great.

Forgive me but I’m over this bashing. I think the chicks in the band are hot.

you might want to consider re-enrolling at your previous school. this shit ain’t gonna carry you through sonny.

“i quit high school for this.”

The world needs more ditch diggers. Good for you.

“i quit high school for this”
good luck with that, buddy!

I know it’s a music (and I use the term loosely) video and shit’s overdubbed anyway, but did anyone else notice that none of their amps are turned on? Dude’s (and I use the term loosely) keyboard isn’t plugged in either. I’m betting they do the same thing for their live (and I use the term loosely) show (…and again), as playing chug-chug-wee bro-core riffs is just too hard when you’ve gotta keep your dance moves synced with the rest of the fruitcakes on stage. Whatever the reason, it’s kind of appropriate, almost poetic, in the sense that anyone who likes music is completely turned off by their vacuous douche dribble.

And John… try to remember that you’re still just a fucking bass player, by and large the most useless, least respected and expendable part of a band, especially yours. Nobody can hear your lame ass in the mix anyway, and I’m sure they don’t want to, so can it girlfriend.

See you in a couple months when my lawn needs mowin’ champ!

Wow… That is seriously the worst fucking thing ive ever seen!

I managed to watch most of this video, however; I could not possibly make it through all the way to the end. This kind of horse shit make me seriously consider never listening to music again. I think I’m going to go and have a nice little stroke now……

Shit…if you wanna see how Brokencyde does it in the studio there’s a whole series on Youtube. Shitty hardcore screams at 1:37.

Its like a fucking abortion of linkin park fetuses. these fucking poser losers cannot be serious!!!! they look pretty hardened, with all those tatoos
fucking twats There is still good music being made though…it is out there, and so is garbage like this, sorry to say

You all need to shut up. I doubt any of you actually play an instrument. Attack Attack! is playing shows around the United States and has a spot on Warped Tour and what are you guys doing? Sitting on your butts at a computer all day. Music is music. There is different styles for different people, if you dont like it fine. But quit the bashing.

these clowns are from my hometown and they kicked the other dude out cause he would get drunk every night and fuck 15 year olds when the dude is like 23. He wasn’t christian enough… these kids are not only the laughing stock of anyone with good taste, but a complete joke in their own home town. Supported by tweens who just wanna put baby powder in their hair and get fucked by some twats on stage wearing the same clothes as them.

The video cannot be shown dickfore at the moment. Please try again later.

i think he got kicked out because he was too christian

Chip Norman, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about, as a critic your opinion should be valid provided you have support for your judgment excluding low blows and insults as well as racist comments. You may not know this but the band doesn’t have much say in the video making process, hmmm I think that’s what a director is for… Trwoing out terms such as “goth” and “emo” made me laugh out loud at your stupidity, you don’t even know what they mean do you? “And don’t let your weird Asian dork’s mom find out about all the f-bombs he keeps dropping. Wouldn’t want you Rockers to be grounded during Warped Tour 2010!” You should go fuck yourself buddy that comment wasn’t necessary and very unprofessional.

Go educate yourself, then post something worth reading

even IF, just IF someone wanted to objectively LIKE this music or considered this abortion of a style “good”, Attack Attack can’t even put together their songs together in a way that doesn’t resemble Terry Schiavo’s community college entrance exam scores (post-accident).

all of these deplorable examples of “song parts” (the 8th-generation Meshuggah breakdown rip-offs, the autotune fag parts, etc.) are just stapled together, one after the other without any regard for making a “song” (ironic, since this stuff could be primed for being really famous soon). this band is like a free, broken vending machine that accidentally keeps spitting out cheap and popular gimmicks over and over.

“here’s the Meshuggah breakdown! BASS BOOM! pause….. back into the MELODIC SCREAMO PART! pause….. OK, BACK TO THAT BREAKDOWN! pause…. OK, with nary a transition, we are back to another WHINY FAGGOT WITH CURSIVE SCRIPT TATTOOS WHINING ABOUT ABSTRACT CONCEPTS OF LOVE AND STUFF, AN AREA OF LIFE ABOUT WHICH HE BARELY UNDERSTANDS SINCE HE’S ABOUT 18 and HIS EXTREME EXPERIENCES WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX CONSIST OF SHARING A MILKSHAKE WITH A GIRL (WHO’S ABOUT TO GET HER FIRST SAILOR TATTOO, OR PERHAPS SOME CURSIVE SCRIPT PROCLAIMING SOMETHING “DEEP”) AT DENNY’S AT 12:30 AM FOLLOWING THE ALL-AGES CHRISTIAN METALCORE SHOW IN A CITY SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE.”

i’d rather get felched by Bin Laden than listen to this afterbirth.

It’s suprised me how much hate their is for a certain style of music.Trust me I’m not the biggest fan of this type of “mixin” either,but put into consideration tthe fact that before any of the groundbreaking bands got “big” they were also massly hated.All I hear on this blog and comments is how gay the are for being “emo” and “young hot topic kids” seriously?
And making fun of John for dropping out of high school when in reality there’s a crap load of kids that do that and have nothin. So make fun of them all you want until you’re in a band that has as many fans as them(and I have checked they have a mass amount of supporters)then you can talk cause John may have dropped HS but at least he’s making money loving what he does and having thousands of screaming fans on his nuts while you guys are at home in front of your computer with nothing but a mininmum wage job.So ease up

If u guys hate this band

YOU DO NOT WANT TO YOU TUBE “BROKENCYDE” lol

Some people are acting like the music they listen to is ao better than other music. Everybody has different tastes and thats a good thing. So quit being fucks and be thankful that you dont have to suffer through the same terrible genre over and over again.

Quit bitching and learn to play and instrument or go listen to the music you like. I wouldnt listen and watch shit i didnt like, id turn it off. Dumbasses…..

Hey John and Attack Attack, keep up the good work with touring and making new music. You guys are an amazing band. Your show at the St. Louis Warped Tour was amazing, you guys killed it. Looking forward to the new cd!

i actually thought the first one was good.
but then they remade it and it was the worst thing i had ever seen.

To be fair, if you don’t like a band, you don’t like them. Going round slinging shit isn’t doing anything other than causing arguments.

I’m a fan of Attack Attack! because they combine two loves of mine: electronica and metalcore. To chunner on about how metal’s goin down the bog or whatever is completely irrelevant as metalcore takes more genre influences from hardcore PUNK, the word is a portmanteau of metal and HARDCORE after all. Most hardcore, by its very nature, tends to be discordant anyway for those pointing out the “randomness” of the music. The majority of people commenting here scream to me that they’re music elitists who only listen to one genre (and its sub-genres don’t count before you say you listen to more than one). I don’t think that qualifies people to comment. My collection ranges from classical, through psychedelic folk and electro all the way to black metal and I’m not qualified to comment, I’m only a music fan. I find that many of the best musicians are all results of experimenting and Attack Attack! have experimented bringing two different genres together, whether they were successful or not is objective.

Perhaps Attack Attack! will disappear from everyone’s radars in the future, who knows? At least allow them their glory days now if so but music is heading in their direction. There is an almost 80s electronic revival in the UK Charts and people are loving it. Enter Shikari, who combine “techno” and post-hardcore (albeit a little better in my opinion) are having huge success globally so these guys may well be around for a while.

What I will agree with is the quality of the two videos. The DIRECTOR who is responsible for the video, not the band, should never work again or should maybe try and help P!nk with her whole “Look at me, I’m punk” bollocks because the kids seem to believe it a bit more with emos and lame ‘symbolism’ thrown in the video. What I don’t agree with is the entirely objective journalism of Chip. If you’re trying to persuade people off the band, provide some positive points then argue them down. Its basic journalism/discussion tactics. And never make it personal. Overall, I can’t help but ignore all said and wave it off as it sounds an awful lot like the ranting of a jealous rival.

Please don’t waste any time directing any responses at me because I’ve said my piece and not everyone will be pleased with it. Its inevitable you’ll argue but you really are just working yourselves up over nothing if you don’t like the band.

Latronic, P

P.S To quote Frank Carter is pointless because the guy just seems to spew shit non-stop and in the UK it doesn’t really shock anyone anymore, rather it makes us roll our eyes and ignore the ginger runt as he goes on with his image trip.

CRABCORE FTW. this is a great band and there videos are sooo funny lol. the guy who wrote this is obvi as old as my dad and like my dad he has no idea what good music is. and why would you use the lanuage that you used, whoever wrote this is obvi stupid, but he is from USA what can you expect

When I saw this video I called the label owner, in complete confusion, to ask what the heck was happening with these guys and why he put it out. To my shock, the guy knew who I was and I was busted. I hope to see one or two of these guys pantsed at a show. Someone should make sure they play with the Cro-Mags ASAP! Crab DEEZ!

“To each his own” is absolutely correct, and what I like about Attack Attack, is that they are very entertaining. Not as a musical group, mind you, but as a comic relief. Some bands are U2, Pink Floyd, Tool, Slipknot, The Clash, The Ramones..

… and some are Enuf Z Nuff, Winger, White Lion, Crazytown, Brokencyde, Tokyo Hotel, and Attack x2.

Some are creative and intelligent, and some are just freak shows worth watching for shits ans giggles.

Some are Amazing musicians, who create masterpieces, and some are just master PIECES, who create spectacles…

My advice…
Ditch the makup and dualing haircuts. Ditch the syncro line-dancing and guitar feats. Lear to play. Learn to write.

Then again… what do I know… I’m just a consumer.

k, SHUT THE FUCK UP. Attack Attack is a great band, JUST CUZ YOU DON’T FUCKING LIKE THEY’RE STYLE, DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BASH THEM. get the fuck over yourselves you fat sacks of scary pants wearin CUNTS. “Oh man, the guitar doesn’t sound anything like Dimebag’s! it’s shit” yeah, ask me if I give a fuck. He’s dead. NOBODY WANTS TO SOUND THE SAME, MUSICALLY. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF HAVING EVERY BAND SOUND THE SAME?? I would just like to say FUCK YOU to all you haters out there. Crabcore for the fucking win.

ATTACK ATTACK IS AMAZING, AND IF THEY WANTED YOUR COMEBACKS THEY’D SCRAPE THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT BECAUSE ALL OF YOU ARE SUCKIN THEIR DICKS RIGHT NOW,HOP OFF AND START YOUR OWN BAND IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING?

YEAH, AND THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOME MORE SHITTY COMEBACKS THAT COME FROM SOME INSECURE LITTLE FUCKS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN SIT HERE AND TALK SHIT ABOUT A BAND, WHEN YOU PROBABLY CAN’T EVEN PLAY AN INSTRUMENT.

OPINIONS ARE OPINIONS I GUESS, BUT KEEP YOUR SHITTY ONES TO YOURSELF. NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU DISLIKE ATTACK ATTACK, THEY’RE OUT THERE DOING IT BIG, AND YOU’RE FUCKIN HATIN.

Haha, I was trying to find some information about this band when I found this. I actually like Attack Attack unlike… every other person to comment on this page, but here’s my problem. EVERY single one of you wasted your time shitting on a band that all of you no NONE about. Yeah who gives a shit what the videos about? You wasted your time watching it and you wasted your time commenting it… CONGRATULATIONS! you’ll never get it back. And for everyone comparing them to Slayer and Metallica and shit, since when the fuck did they say that’s what they are trying to be… you guys are retarded and if you don’t like someone’s music then don’t fucking listen to it, you don’t have to make a hate column.

I love Attack Attack!, but even I have to admit that their videos are pretty bad. It’s definately the synchronized head banging that kills them.

Still, I can’t believe one idiot photoshops crab hands onto a music video, and the whole internet jumps on the hating bandwagon. You guys are idiots who obviously have nothing better to do with your lives. Kudos to Lambshank for saying it like it is.

What the fuck is wrong with all of you people? Oh, you think you’re so cool, just because you think you’re “the shit” with all your deathcore! I bet you all have no life and stay home all day just to hate on videos like this? Well guess what, get a mother-fucking life!!!! Just because they use auto-tune and they dress differently than you would, doesnt mean that you can hate on them!! Go wear your fucking Aeropostale and Abercrombie clothes and leave Attack Attack alone, they’ve never done anything bad to you! So go listen to your fucking gay-ass Greenday and Paramore you fucking deathcore posers!!

why the fuck does everyone keep saying A!A! is metal?

hey Andy, watch the road. Driving while dicking around on yer phone isn’t cool. Driving while looking up the worst bands in the world multiplies that by about 12.

Attack attack you guys are awesome. I love your stuff. You losers talking trash just keep it to yourself. I would like to see any of you accomplish what they have. They have thousands of fans and you don’t have any. Just don’t listen to it if you don’t like it, and keep the comments to yourself

Kicking the door won’t open it when you need to pull..

Fuckin’ A, this band gives me a rash, man.

cal, yes I’m sure. Deal with the fact that I along with many other people, like AttackAttack!

damn. some people need to get a life.

This review is overly harsh.. the crabcore is ridiculous but it sounds jokes in my ears so i couldnt give a f*k how they play their instruments as long as they play them!

Billy is 100% right. This article is disgustingly rude & disrespectful. It’s racist and discriminative, as well, therefore it should be taken down. Somebody should write an article about the author of & see how he likes it. Wait no, assuming he’s a mature adult, he’s not going to let it bother him. Bullshit, sir. attackattack! is a fucking band, regardless of the fact that 10 insignificant people don’t like it. The fact that Iran hates us for a stupid reason is irrelevant to the topic, as well.

This is a great band. Period. They’re out there writing/recording music, selling out shows, simply doing something productive with their lives…what are you haters doing? Slowly back away from your computer, laptop whatever the fuck you’re using and go out and get some fresh air…possibly a job! Stop wasting time butchering a band that most definitely has more talent you will ever have!

You do realize that Attack Attack IS NOT EMO? If Attack Attack is emo, then Bury Your Dead is hip hop.

Attack Attack charted with an amazing CD, with another one releasing in less than a week. You run a crappy website. With posts that get 4% popularity.

The winner here is pretty obvious.

The sad part is people in comments talking about how great musicians were in the “old days” and how much Attack Attack sucks. These are the same people who buy a set of drums from Wal-Mart and pay some guy $25 to change their guitar strings. Any slight knowledge about music would lead you to the obvious conclusion that these instrumental parts are much more challenging and musically complex than the three chord riffs written by your beloved idols who died of heroin overdoses.

I’ll be fair. The video concept is really stupid. But you can’t base your entire knowledge of a band on one video. Videos don’t tend to be designed by the band members themselves. Play the video and then don’t watch and it will be easier to understand why people like this.

This is really not good music by any standards.
The video speaks for itself…

they are post hardcore and just so you know fat kid (caleb) is now vocals and the lead singer moved on to another band

After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any method you may remove me from that service? Thanks!

Together with everything that seems to be developing within this particular subject material, many of your perspectives are generally quite radical. However, I beg your pardon, because I do not subscribe to your entire plan, all be it stimulating none the less. It looks to everyone that your commentary are actually not totally justified and in reality you are your self not fully certain of the argument. In any case I did enjoy reading through it.

Congratulations on possessing certainly one among one of the crucial subtle blogs Ive arrive across in some time! Its just superb how a lot you’ll be capable to take into account away from a thing principally merely because of how visually stunning it is. You’ve place collectively an ideal weblog web site space –great graphics, motion pictures, layout. That is definitely a should-see web site!

Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks
