I remember reading the story about Sam Perkins. I read about all of his friends getting the Hope Division logo with "At Least He Died A Lion" written with it. I didn't realize what the tattoos said until half way through the video. Stick To Your Guns played a free memorial show for him, AND also dedicated a music video to him. You can't say that STYG doesn't care about their fans, because the proof that they do is right here.
Yo, that deep shit. Deep deep love and shit for the fans. Never ha a doubt in my fucking heart about this band being such a great fucking band. I don't think many bands can reach this level of love and respect and even rep
Lyrics: I know you, because you're just like me Always questioning every single thing Never giving up without a fight Because for you, your resistance is a way of life Young and angry, with every right to be Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread Looked past by most, looked down on by all We don't need them, it's forever us against them all A fire burns inside you, fueled by everything that You've ever been through Every battle you fight goes uphill But nothing can ever break your iron will Young and angry, with every right to be Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread Looked past by most, looked down on by all We don't need them, it's forever us against them all We don't need them
STYG is by far my favorite band and consistently help me get through tough times. Honestly just amazing people. STYG has saved so many lives and given so much hope to their fans.
This music video shows just how amazing STYG is. They dedicate a video to a loyal fan who passed away from a brain tumor, and people got tattoos in his and STYG's honor. Are you kidding me? How does this band have so many haters? Just because they aren't like the other hardcore bands who preach hate, they get hipsters dissing on them all the time. This band means a lot to me, and they're an inspiration to so many.
He's the reason we all got the tattoo and our in this music video. All of our tattoos say "At least he died a lion". He was one of their biggest fans, and passed away from a brain tumor last november. Jesse spoke to him before he passed away, and they did everything they could to help.
I dont understand. How can you NOT like this?! I am mad people don't like stuff like this. This is ridiculous. This is passion and emotion put up all in this.
Amen to both of you dudes! Hardcore is about passion, about freedom, about speaking your mind and not care what the rest of the world think! I love that people from any religion, nationality, gender, sexual preference or what ever can get together and have a good time and look out for one another
you have not even begun to scratch the surface of how important your life means to not only me, our friends our family but you're alive whch is a gift for the world that is waiting for you
I love this video because it shows what hardcore shows were really about. No matter what kind of problems you were having you could always come to a show and fit in like the right piece of a puzzle.
The guy at the end Sam T. Perkins was in a local hardcore band in Arizona . He passed away from a brain tumor . STYG played a show in memory and tribute of him . So many people showed up... He had a huge impact with what he was doing . "At least he died a Lion"
I feel lucky as shit to have been in this video and to have been one of the few to get the diamond back patch! They played a whole setlist and it was free. I got to talk to Jesse and take a picture with him after they finished filming. Humblest guy I've ever met!!!
I just watched this video for the first time and I started crying. I miss you so much, Sam, and I have so much respect for this band for doing everything they've done.
I didnt know sam perkins personally, but some of my good friends from a few years back do. styg in my eyes will always sick just for what they did for sam.
This song/band is helping me through this bullshit drama at college. I lost all of my friends/my love of my life/now homeless once I go back to my city that I was raised at. I kept having panic attacks all month. This song made my heart feel at ease und gave me chills with the lyrics. (woah, we don't need them) I think I heard that right. I hope. But I thank them for being my inspiration to getting better. Thank you STYG!!!! You will always have my support
This Video is amazing and I love the fact that they dedicated this to Sam. I watched an interview where they talked about him. So Awesome. Back this Band So Much
straight edge is about being pure. its a great belief for those who stick to it. and its not forcing views on others. its proving you dont need all the other shit to be a person. i highly respect anyone that is straight edge
What happened to STYG? Their new stuff sucks and now scene kids are listening to this band. I miss stuff like "We still believe" this generation of straight edge don't know anything. Let's see how many kids get butthurt over this.
What happened to the Deathcore kinda sound on For What Its Worth? Their new stuff is great, but why get ridda the death growl? Thought Barnett did it well. I guess deathcore is 2007.
Nick Anderson "Death growls" lol. You can growl and still be a hardcore band which is what styg has always and will always be. Also deathcore was so 2007 and even then bands that were labeled as deathcore were emberassed by it.
I got my first tattoo of this song, "Every Battle you Fight goes uphill, but nothing can break your iron will!" With the STYG logo and Diamond Love this song
Just bought this CD yesterday at FYE, played it for my mom in the car and she loved it, then went home and my dad liked it too. Knowing your parents like good music gives you SO much motivation :D
I saw them a few days ago and all the bands on the bill were killer, but they were the highlight for me. It was the best show I've ever been to and the best night of my life.
It's the name of their most recent album, it also goes along with their songs D(I am)ond and Diamond with the lyrics in both of those songs "This is my life and this life is my Diamond". It kind of means that your life is important and stuff.
I don't think anyone understands what this video means to us. We lost our best friend, and got a tattoo in his remembrance. We spoke to STYG about everything, and they did all that they could to help us. They had us be apart of such a amazing video, and dedicated it to Sam. Respect for them is through the rough. Sam, you'll always be our lion.
I went to the memorial show they had for him here in AZ. I never met him but the love and emotion that night was off the charts. No doubt in my mind that he was an amazing person. Much love to all of his friends and family. Atleast he died a lion.
I know you, because you're just like me. Always questioning every single thing. Never giving up without a fight because for u, ur resistance is a way of life. Young & angry, with every right to be. Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread. Looked past by most, looked down on by all. We don't need them, it's forever us against them all. A fire burns inside you, fueled by everything that you've ever been through. Every battle you fight goes uphill, but nothing can ever break your iron will
if the music goes from heavy tone and screeching vocals during the verse, to happy melodic chords and soft singing during the chorus, then it's screamo.
saw them performe last night in worcester , best night o fmy life , they inspire me so much , and i just thank them for beeing there for me through soo much , im understood

Michael Farenborn well i'm gonna see them at never say die pretty soon so make sure your there too :p
Me 2! You guys seeing them in Barcelona?
they bring it hard and have some strong lyrics to back that up! This band is by far one of the best out there
Those are all my friends in that video. Much respect for Stick To Your Guns. They did a lot for Arizona. R.I.P. Sam
Gotta love the HUGE build up to THE WORST stage dive ever at 2:55...
Cool to listen bands like this after so much cookie-cutter bands
Lyrics:
I know you, because you're just like me
Always questioning every single thing
Never giving up without a fight
Because for you, your resistance is a way of life
Young and angry, with every right to be
Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread
Looked past by most, looked down on by all
We don't need them, it's forever us against them all
A fire burns inside you, fueled by everything that
You've ever been through
Every battle you fight goes uphill
But nothing can ever break your iron will
Young and angry, with every right to be
Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread
Looked past by most, looked down on by all
We don't need them, it's forever us against them all
We don't need them

0:51 I scratched my balls again on my own
Why.........
It can never be heard any other way again.. Just like the end of Cult of Personality "I ate a gumdrop, I ate a gumdrop, I ate a gumdrop"
HAHAHAH
FUCK U HAHAHA
Growing up listening to this song back in 2013. 2024 still catching the old vibe. never runs dry
He's the reason we all got the tattoo and our in this music video. All of our tattoos say "At least he died a lion". He was one of their biggest fans, and passed away from a brain tumor last november. Jesse spoke to him before he passed away, and they did everything they could to help.
I just want to take the time and say how much this band means to me. Hardcore will forever be in my heart.
This song is more relevant than ever rn
Still is
I dont understand. How can you NOT like this?! I am mad people don't like stuff like this. This is ridiculous. This is passion and emotion put up all in this.
Amen to both of you dudes!
Hardcore is about passion, about freedom, about speaking your mind and not care what the rest of the world think! I love that people from any religion, nationality, gender, sexual preference or what ever can get together and have a good time and look out for one another
I listen to this song and I cry everytime.. I miss the good days
0:51 "Don't touch my mouse!"
Definitely one of the more heartfelt bands out there today. Effing love this band!
1:37 - so sick :>
you have not even begun
to scratch the surface
of how important your life means to not only me, our friends our family
but you're alive
whch is a gift
for the world that is waiting for you
AGAINST THEM ALL 🔥🤟
seeing these guys for the first time on Dec 16th. I am so stoked, they've made such an impact in my life.
"I know you because you're just like me, always questoning every single thing" :)
🙏
@@american11asshole Namaste. One love
I love this video because it shows what hardcore shows were really about. No matter what kind of problems you were having you could always come to a show and fit in like the right piece of a puzzle.
best hardcore band i ever heard!
One of my fav hardcore albums of all time
Resistance is a way of life.
The reason why this song exists. A dude who loved STYG and passed away. This song is a "dedication".
The relevancy of this song right now is insane
Sid Todd I just thought this
Such a powerful message to share with the world.
STYG is probably my favorite band. Seen them live twice and they're amazing!
Where are all the kids who said STYG sold out now like on the first single from this album? Amazing song. Amazing band. Never sell outs.
Thinking about you today, Sam. Miss you buddy
The guy at the end Sam T. Perkins was in a local hardcore band in Arizona . He passed away from a brain tumor . STYG played a show in memory and tribute of him . So many people showed up... He had a huge impact with what he was doing .
"At least he died a Lion"
one of the greatest songs in the world
Every video of these guys make me want to shed manly tears of love and joy. But also to tear shit down.
First time i heard these guys was at a Sworn In gig and to be perfectly honest these guys were sooooo much better than Sworn In.
Ive seen sworn in twice live and they're not that great live. Plus jesse speech (styg vocalist) is amazing and the bands energy as well
I'll be seeing Sworn in live again when Thy Art come to scotland, let's see if they have gotten any better haha
0:55 I dig that H2O poster. Awesome video from an awesome band.
2019? 🤘✊
I feel lucky as shit to have been in this video and to have been one of the few to get the diamond back patch! They played a whole setlist and it was free. I got to talk to Jesse and take a picture with him after they finished filming. Humblest guy I've ever met!!!

I just watched this video for the first time and I started crying. I miss you so much, Sam, and I have so much respect for this band for doing everything they've done.
I didnt know sam perkins personally, but some of my good friends from a few years back do. styg in my eyes will always sick just for what they did for sam.
STYG is literally the only thing that makes me happy.
I want that jacket really bad
diy man, I don't even think you can find one
The Rose you can buy the patch online, at the impericon webstore for example
exactly Dylan, buy the patch and do it youserlf !
These lyrics, man; they're so strong. And the melody is so inspiring it always makes me go mad.
Who's going to see this band with counterparts in February??
Saw them live last night in Joliet IL. They opened with this Song. It was AMAZING!
2019?
This song/band is helping me through this bullshit drama at college. I lost all of my friends/my love of my life/now homeless once I go back to my city that I was raised at. I kept having panic attacks all month. This song made my heart feel at ease und gave me chills with the lyrics. (woah, we don't need them) I think I heard that right. I hope. But I thank them for being my inspiration to getting better. Thank you STYG!!!! You will always have my support
Its good music but.. is it just this vid? the sound quality sounds bad
It sounds better in Spotify... Here it sounds a bit weird...
Loved the song, the video and the quotes! Didn't know Sam Perkins, but he has/had an incredible group of friends.
RIP, he died a lion.
I want that kids jacket. Shit is so cash. With the STYG Diamond on the back. Ugh.
Same man
This Video is amazing and I love the fact that they dedicated this to Sam. I watched an interview where they talked about him. So Awesome. Back this Band So Much
Who's here in 2018?????
2019
2019
2018 also but now in 2019 also a 100 times. Great song. Gives me hope, energy en the feeling not standing alone! ❤
2019 as everything goes to shit in the UK and this song is still relevant.
That's for sure!
straight edge is about being pure. its a great belief for those who stick to it. and its not forcing views on others. its proving you dont need all the other shit to be a person. i highly respect anyone that is straight edge
Who's here in 2019?????
Me
Yup
music like this keeps me alive and sane.
Not of my business, but the melodic OOoo,OOoo, could be a bit tougher...lol
WARPED TOUR ! these guys are freaking fantastic
What happened to STYG? Their new stuff sucks and now scene kids are listening to this band. I miss stuff like "We still believe" this generation of straight edge don't know anything. Let's see how many kids get butthurt over this.
wtf dude we still believe is from the same album as against them all, whats wrong? I guess "scene kids" can also have a good taste in music.
Hahahaha this guy....
This song is on the same album... Think before you type
The Power of Metal is strong with this One.
What happened to the Deathcore kinda sound on For What Its Worth? Their new stuff is great, but why get ridda the death growl? Thought Barnett did it well. I guess deathcore is 2007.
it´s not deathcore it´s hardcore
Most if not all the vocals were death growls. Thats what I want back. I still believe
Nick Anderson
"Death growls" lol. You can growl and still be a hardcore band which is what styg has always and will always be. Also deathcore was so 2007 and even then bands that were labeled as deathcore were emberassed by it.
+havoren Fine. Whatever happened to the low growls, chugging, and metalcore breakdowns? Lol
this s the first song ive listened to by this band.
I am not disappointed! I love it
One of my closest friends told me this song reminded her of me. I have no regrets checking this song or band out. Amazing af
Winston Mcall. The most down to earth straight edge guy you'll ever meet. And probably the best Aussie frontman ever!
I've never felt a band produce so much energy as they did.
Thesse guys are awesome! Some caring and cool dudes! And an awesome live show!
2023 still loving this!!!
so inspirational, amazing lyrics and band
I got my first tattoo of this song, "Every Battle you Fight goes uphill, but nothing can break your iron will!" With the STYG logo and Diamond
Love this song
I love seeing Defeater and Rotting Out on those kids' t-shirts. Badass.
I'm liking that minor threat vinyl around 1:48
Agreed. My ex gf was straight edge and to this day, even after our break up, she's still one of the coolest, down to earth people I know.
See you guys in Scranton, PA! PUMPED! 🤟
this vid deserves over NIIIIIIIINE million views.
and "Diamond" is really a diamond.
Ignite Sweater in a Stick to your Guns video..priceless...
2 of the best bands
Diamond is with out a doubt their best album, can't fucking wait for All Stars.
20 days remains to concert !
that´s gonna be awesome
All the comments about Sam and everyone's related stories, just touches my heart. Thank you guys for your support.
Probably one of my favourite bands and certainly my favourite song by them! These guys definatly are a special band!
Just bought this CD yesterday at FYE, played it for my mom in the car and she loved it, then went home and my dad liked it too. Knowing your parents like good music gives you SO much motivation :D
I saw them a few days ago and all the bands on the bill were killer, but they were the highlight for me. It was the best show I've ever been to and the best night of my life.
And they say rock is all dark, i heard this live at warp and it just spoke to me. this is a song for those who are really against them all
rock? What are you talking about? Theres nothing remotely rock about stick to your guns. They are a hardcore band.
They're amazing live. Seen them twice definitely worth seeing!
Another band who performs really well and has a good message (for the most part) is Terror. They have never disappointed me in concert.
their music has gotten much better.
I can personally relate to this as my older brother died also from brain cancer (he also had a huge tumor lodged in his brain) last year in August.
It seems that they made music with the heart
It's the name of their most recent album, it also goes along with their songs D(I am)ond and Diamond with the lyrics in both of those songs "This is my life and this life is my Diamond". It kind of means that your life is important and stuff.
I don't think anyone understands what this video means to us. We lost our best friend, and got a tattoo in his remembrance. We spoke to STYG about everything, and they did all that they could to help us. They had us be apart of such a amazing video, and dedicated it to Sam.

I never heard of this band until I saw them live at the Chelsea grin concert. I have to admit their really good and I also bought their cd
Pretty much had this song on repeat all day. Good stuff.
I know you, because you're just like me. Always questioning every single thing. Never giving up without a fight because for u, ur resistance is a way of life.
Young & angry, with every right to be. Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread. Looked past by most, looked down on by all. We don't need them, it's forever us against them all.
A fire burns inside you, fueled by everything that you've ever been through.
Every battle you fight goes uphill, but nothing can ever break your iron will
