THE WORLD’S PREMIERE ATTACK ATTACK! TRIBUTE BAND: ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!

Monday, January 11th, 2010 at 8:46am by

Okay, so reader Ryan Banjamin sent this video in last night, and, wow, did it just about make my week. I have absolutely no clue why these kids made this video, but I’d be shocked if you told me that they were actual Attack Attack! fans. As a piece of satire, the video is a little-one noted… but what a note it is! I was sold by the time the “band” perfectly imitated AA!’s synchronized jump at the 1:35 mark.

One thing I would definitely have changed, though, had this been an Axl Rosenberg joint: I would have made the chick playing the keyboardist fill the role of the lead singer. ‘Cause let’s be real here, y’know?

    Pause it at the 2:04 mark… Scary stuff man…

  • Loomeytunes

    who the fuck is Attack Attack? I always see there music a target in the “rock” section, and they make me want to attack attack them with a baseball bat.

    Not funny. At All. I would love to see a fucking virus of the ebola-strand take out every last frail-looking, heltered-in, suburban white kid with their stupid anxiety disorders and have their brains attack attacked! by mental degeneration.

    Oh wait….

    Making a parody of Attack Attack! and actually being half-way serious about is a sign of mental degeneration. Fuck this generation of kids. I

      *sheltered-in

      • Flava Flav

        Oh come on, every generation of kids has had shitty taste in music. Kids will listen to whatever is marketed to them the hardest.

    • Conor

      Watch from 1:44 to 1:47

  • WowWee!

    I think they are fans of attack attack but that shit jus shows you how stupid these fucks are.
    I love laughing at these poor fucks.

    Based on the look of these kids alone…I would say they are fans.

  • Fufkin

    I like the fact that I can’t tell whether this is tribute or mockery. Ambiguouscore.

  • jfkasdfkdfj

    These kids are undoubtedly fans.

    Tight pants, swoopy hair, v-neck tshirts… they’re fans. And having to hear part of that song again was painfule.

    • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

      And I need to make sure I haven’t added extra letters to painful before I submit… dammit.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sean-Wright/1365416981 Sean Wright

      Am I the only person here that thinks V-neck shirts are for douchebags? I know my father had a thing for Hanes V-neck white shirts and he was a total douchebag even though I loved the big guy….

      How the fuck can people wear them? It’s like “I want to look official and classy while being lazy at the same time.”

      • Tonberry

        Regular vnecks are fine. I don’t wear them, but they don’t disgust me like deep vnecks. It’s like they’re trying to get that Freddy Mercury look for Kmart prices.

          agreed here. Old Navy v necks are actually really comfy

    • MetalRod

      Pain-fuel!!!

  • Horseshine

    Any chance they dressed like that to make it part of the parody? Yunno, just a thought n all…

    • tyler09

      I agree. I mean jesus christ they had two chicks in there. And they really looked like they werent serious

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Hulsey/653830783 David Hulsey

        They have a Myspace profile featuring other “covers” and Attack Attack! are on their top friends, as well as a number of other shitty new bands with bad hair cuts and unacceptable attire. And they consider themselves a real “band”. Fuck them all. They are serious.

      • canea

        If you’re talking about the two butterfaces at the beginning, “hot chicks” might be a stretch.

    Ziltoid started a band ?

    • Ziltoid

      My cover band would cover Impaled Northern Moonfrost, Nattefrost, and Sodomized by Satan.

      • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

        And don’t forget the occasional ///Maytag cover.

  • aud10ph1le44

    CRAB
    FUCKING
    CORE

    Hilarious.

      I was in Hot Topic the other day heckling a local “acoustic emo” band that was playing, and I noticed AA! Have embraced the term “crabcore.” They put a fucking crab with the word “core” under it on their shirts. God help us all, they LIKE our insulting terms.

    • Chris

      Yeah, hands down the funniest part. If they were making fun of Attack Attack, they did a spot on impression, which in itself is pretty hilarious…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rik-Powell/286400508 Rik Powell

    You should have featured this video instead, it’s even better and does indeed feature a fat chick on vocals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5_g5RJyQfI

    • Daniel

      Yeah, that one seems like more of a real parody too.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jake-Ryan/596440962 Jake Ryan

        that songs by asking alexandria not attack attack. so the fat chick vocalist is unfortunately irrelevant…

  • zhitnik

    Man you guys completely missed the point. It’s a parody, and its a parody of one of the most hilarious music videos I’ve ever seen. Everything from the guitar flip, to the little keyboard segment where it says CRAB FUCKING CORE on the laptop. Anyone who wants to make fun of or mimic this video is fine with me, it is timeless.

  • Tonberry

    This seems like one of those things where they were at a party and said “Wouldn’t it be funny if…”, but where most people don’t follow through, they did, and wound up stretching a one note joke out to 4 minutes.

  • nick

    Hey Axl, how about more kick-ass videos and less crap nobody should nor wants to see.

  • Rachel

    This is pretty funny. Being a resident metalhead of southwest Ohio, these guys have been part of the local scene for a few years. What is funny is that all the local bands do the crab movements now when they perform. Yet, Attack Attack! has completely stopped doing them.

  • Sammy

    They are surely fans: They know every word of the song; and there’s nothing really “satirical” about the video.

    I am impressed, however, that they didn’t get booted from parking garage…unless they did after the 2:48 mark, because that’s as far as I could go and keep lunch down.

    If i was a high school kid i would do the same thing. Might as well have some fun.

  • Anthony Showalter

    What the fuck is going on at the 57sec. point? Are they trying to play Blak Metal?!

  • TrapThem

    The fat chick behind the computer is the best…Also I would’ve like to seen the reaction of anyone who happened to stumble upon this gayness while going to get their car.

  • Scourge441

    The only better Attack Attack! parody is Attack Attack! themselves.

  • Facebook User

    lol at fat chick

  • josh

    I’ve just been rapped in the eye!
