Proof That the Youth Are Revolting
1999 live album
Proof That the Youth Are Revolting is Five Iron Frenzy's first live album, released November 2, 1999 by 5 Minute Walk. It was recorded at eleven shows throughout 1998 and 1999, including Cornerstone 1999. The cover art was made by Doug TenNapel.
In Five Iron's typical fashion Proof contains the band's humour. "A New Hope" ends with the song "Kingdom of the Dinosaurs", the hidden track after the end of "Every New Day" features various slip-ups recorded over the tour, and the title itself has a double meaning. The word "Revolting" is used to mean "disgusting", or "starting a revolution". The revolution referred to, however, is one of the heart. According to Keith Hoerig this is "... a personal revolution that each individual partakes in the choices they make and the way they live their lives."
The album contains a number of cover songs and references to other bands. The band fully covers Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual" and "Receive Him" by the Christian metal group Vengeance Rising.
