Review

Live: Proof That the Youth Are Revolting cements Five Iron Frenzy's on-record personality: geeky and goofy, cheerfully spunky, and unafraid to look silly. The onstage patter is a mixed bag, but the band's performance is spirited and terrific. One unfortunate omission is a live version of E.L.O.'s "Sweet Talkin' Woman," which was a highlight of the Quality is Job No. 1 EP. The concerts represented here are well recorded and played loud, and the high point of the CD is "A New Hope," which is wonderful. ~ David Dwyer, All Music Guide

Proof That The Youth Are Revolting is Five Iron Frenzy's first live album, released November, 1999 by Sarabellum Records and Five Minute Walk, with distribution by Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded at eleven shows[2] throughout 1998 and 1999, including Cornerstone 1999.[3] The cover art was made by Douglas TenNapel.

In Five Iron's typical fashion Proof contains the bands humour. "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.[4] The word "Revolting" is used to mean "disgusting", or "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."[4]

The album contains a number of cover songs and references to other bands. The band fully covers Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual"[4] and "Receive Him" by the Christian metal group Vengeance Rising. The introductory track makes a reference to Stryper's album To Hell with the Devil. "Superpowers" integrates The Cure's "Close to Me" in the lead,[4] and "One Girl Army" begins with a cover of Europe's "The Final Countdown".[4]

While Proof was designed to consist of fan favorites, it also marks the first appearance of "New Hope." "Hope" was written about the Columbine High School massacre, which affected some members of the band on a personal level.[4] The band often practiced at Micah Ortega's house, about a five minute walk from the school, and his sister attended there at the time af the shootings.[4]

For those who attended any of the concerts which were recorded to be potentially used as this live album, the band had pieces of paper at their merch booth where one could sign up to be registered as a "backup singer." While the final album used cuts from a variety of shows, all the people who filled out their names were mentioned in a large fold-out booklet that went with the album, listed under the title "backup singers." In total about 7,000 names were listed.[2]
