    Tim's delivery of "7 shotgun shells" always gives me absolute chills

    This song and video is amazing to me.. I'm a South Dakotan born and raised(20 y.o.) and last year just after this video was released, we had the worst summer in memory. None of our corn came in and what did was far under what was projected. It was the hottest year on record with no rain. My area was hit some of the hardest. I actually work on the outside of a building that depends on the harvest(Corn Palace, Mitchell SD) and this video rings true on many levels. Things were tough all over

      I totally agree and that’s exactly what my project is about! I am so sorry to hear about the hard summer but.. if you love Rise Against, we’re looking to hear how music has created an impact in people and the world around them.
      Like frontman Tim Mcilrath says, “Like us still believes in the power of music to change lives - to change everything.”
      We’re looking for people to answer these questions for a new project in progress:

      I remember that summer--was working in Wisconsin on a prairie-restoration job. Everything was dying, and one of our neighbors struck a spark off of a rock when he was harvesting wheat. By the time he turned around at the end of the row, about 10 acres were already burning; I don't know how much he lost in total.

      Are you by any chance from an ex-communist country (i somehow doubt someone in a communist country could watch this video now...)? If not, then let me trow some light over it: people were waiting for hours in order to buy a couple of bananas; they were trampling one another so they could be the first to buy a chicken (all this while the country was having a decent production, enough to feed them all properly)
      Capitalism is by far the best economic system we (humans) have developed, allowing all people to prosper (or to fail), so you should think twice and learn more before talking about "eradicating" the capitalism

    • @negativekelvin6434
      @negativekelvin6434 7 лет назад +27

      Capitalism is good with common sense regulation, mixed in with some socialism in areas that shouldn't be for profit (healthcare, education, police and fire department, army).
      Either of the extremes is bad

    Watching this really hit home. I grew up in an oilfield in Wyoming. It was a place where most people came to for their last resort for making a living and making a life.
    I know there are situations like this that are far worse in other countries...but that's there, we have the power to keep this from happening here. I feel we should always provide opportunities and support for the less fortunate, but not fully support them.
    We all need support from somewhere.

    Vladamir: I know, but it completely captures what Rise Against is fighting to show us. It's a great song that shows us that the longer we continue in our mad struggle for the dollar the harder we'll fall in the end.

    yeah i agree with you 100%. I thinks Tim and the rest of the band believe as long as they have a loyal fan base, and the music and videos they make reach and affect the right people the right way, then they don't need awards to prove they are successful. In our eyes, they already are.

    I think there would be more humanistic people in this world if we all realized we're all in this together, but we all have our own struggles to deal with. So many of you think you know it all about complete strangers. Just remember we all take life at our own stride. What you see as no big deal, another may see as the worst thing that ever happened. Respect and love one another. It'll make it easier for all of us together.

    Many years later commenting.
    I have lived in an area where you could call it Semi-Rural. I literally hear a rooster call in the AM.
    I have known and visited the farmers that live in my area on and off since childhood. I have seen the stakes first hand if one has a bad crop year. No veggies, no dairy or meats, no money.
    It breaks my heart to see farmers and ranchers pitted against this every season. This song hits home and RA intro'd it to me when they first released it. Bob Dylan was in my household, just not a fixture.
    That needed to change. My kids will hear both Dylan and Rise Against whenever they are born.

    Rise Against devotes a good part of thier profit and a bigger portion of thier time to aiding worthy charities.

If their hard work has provided them the opportunity to live well, then they would be fools not to reap the benefits of their efforts.

In Europe college costs a max of like 2k a year (people whos parents earn less then 30k a year combined get around 400 euro's a month from the government aswell (which makes college profitable). where high school and pre school are completely free (private schools obviously cost more). this means that the entire education of a child costs their parents around 8k in total which is nothing compared to the changes in salary this brings when compared to someone without an education.

    Monsanto and factory farms (Meatvideo dotcom) are lowering our food quality and putting small better farms out of business.
    Vegan will not harm jobs, they can grow crops so no excuses for cooked flesh and baby cows milk today...it will also help our health/care, environment and even reduce hunger (every 10lbs of corn/grains fed to chickens/pigs in tiny cruel cages-so get fatter, only yields 1lb of flesh in return is very wasteful. Animals are actually well fed while people go hunger - bs greed)

      I totally agree and that’s exactly what my project is about! If you love Rise Against, we’re looking to hear how music has created an impact in people and the world around them.
      Like frontman Tim Mcilrath says, “Like us still believes in the power of music to change lives - to change everything.”
      We’re looking for people to answer these questions for a new project in progress:
      Q: How has Rise Against influenced you?
      Q: How are you trying to make positive changes in your community?
      Please write to the following if interested in helping:

    Are you kidding me? Tim Mcllrath is awesome, and Bob Dylan is great. What's wrong with covering someone else's damn song?

    Maybe I'm really stupid but, I think we, workers who make the system work, should get a free fucking house. I'm not talking $300 000 mansion. Just 4 walls and a roof. No need for basement or extra stories. If it wasn't for the poor, there would be no rich. Having a house is so essential to life. Once again, it's because we work that the system works. If not it would be chaos. Don't we deserve this?

      The most farms are in the tornado zones, so a basemebt would probably be fair ^^

    I figured, this isnt a typical Rise Against song. I never insinuated that they did write it. I just meant on their videos they have the discussions. In general. So, thanks for pointing that out.
