These days there comment section is filled with idiots saying "You used to be cool but then you went woke!" Old fans for some insane reason suddenly forgot they were always political and there message I guess. Makes no sense. It's trendy to be right leaning and hate anything woke now I guess.
True. I really disagree with so much of their politics yet I love their music and have a lot of respect for them. I've been listening to them since I was a kid and I will listen to them when I'm bloody retired, they are amazing
@@breakingjosh0 You can argue who needs help and what kind of help as well as how that effects others around them. My country has suffered greatly for helping others on more than 1 occasion, and it includes the current day. And yes, it is politics, liberal vs conservation, to determine how much pf a helping hand you'd extend to whom and at what moment, if you'd put everyone on equal terms in all cases or sometimes put your own people 1st, etc. They are very liberal, which is what I greatly disagree with, in spite of enjoying their music very much and supporting them as a band.
They're effective storytellers via lyrics. Springsteen is better, but Rise Against! is getting up there with their "staying power" via being a lyrically powerful band
Singing in a lighter, softer tone in rock doesn't necessarily equate to "Putting no emotion into it". It's just creating a contrast for the harsher vocals we're all used to and here for. The emotions he's putting forth are present in every line, from start to finish.
Rise Against has always preached in their lyrics. And they practice what they preach. They’ve always stood up for the oppressed, human and otherwise (the whole band is vegan and has worked with PETA in the past). Some people resent them for having a message behind their music. They’re worth diving into in my opinion. Siren Song of the Counterculture is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I somewhat disagree with this. RA has always had a politically charged view, believing that we would all be better off if the government mandated and controlled every aspect of our lives (save for a small stint early on in their records which seemed to show a desire for Anarchy, or lack of government in other words) They're misguided imho, but they sound fantastic and the lyrics can usually be molded into another situation. Also they're VERY actively supportive of suicide prevention hotlines and organizations, which I LOVE!
Saw them live a year ago, it was my first concert since the Pandemic and that shit was awesome. They only sang old songs like this and I was the happiest I could have been
I would say there is emotion in the beginning; melancholy. It can be hard to catch, especially if you've never heard the song before. The mellow, almost sad, opening just gives more punch when he gets passionate, and boarder line angry during the refrain.
They absolutely kill it live, I’ve seen them live 3 times and each time is an absolute insane show especially when he brings out the megaphone and screams through it into a mic
Ive only had the pleasure once unfortunately it was at the 930 club in d.c. about 6 months before they really blew up (somewhere around 2003) they werent even the headliner but were by far the best band that night. Also fortunately because they werent as big yet i got a chance to meet them outside the venue later and they just enjoyed talking to fans.
They always talk about this big issues on their lyrics and videos. Songs like this one, Ready To Fall or Re-Education do this and are bangers! Then other like Hero Of War or Make It Stop go even darker
@@Speciimenn he reacted to RATM and that song in particularly in the summer of 2020, I believe. Not long after lockdown started. He was super into their songs.
Man what a throwback. These guys were definitely a huge part of what I listed to in my teens. Always loved their stuff, and usually great lyrics and messages in their songs. Excited to see you hear their stuff
One of the greatest bands ever. Their music holds such strong and important messages. Makes you realize how privileged and lucky one person can be compared to others.
"That's how they win, they keep us convinced, to lift up our chins. These playing fields are level. With that they dismiss the fast lanes they rode on which access depends on who you know and where you came from whose daughter are you whose fortunate son." Incredible
I'm not on your patreon, but man, these deserve the attention so f***ing much!! Lol they have been on the radio and never sold out, they have been the most influential activist bands of my lifetime and they deserve more attention. Love seeing you jam! 🤘🏻
saw them when i was 20 back in 2011 broke my ankle from a moshpit with this song in Utah. Would do it all over again, one of the best concerts I've been to.
Forever my top favorite band. They have so many amazing songs. The awareness and stories they speak in their music. Is what makes them amazing. I saw them in april, and omg..... The emotions were raw, the fans, the energy, the music... It was otherworldly.
Been my favorite band for almost 20 years. I wish they would’ve gave him a better song but this one is still great. The new nowhere generation album is fantastic.
Finally man just finally someone who actually saw the meaning 😭. Nothing against other reactors its just always disappointing seeing everyone react to this and not taking the time to see the meaning behind it and the importance of it. So many miss the message 😭 which i get happens im just so happy to see you were able to catch it.
Rise Against will always hold a special place in my heart. The first CD I bought at 10 yrs old was The Sufferer & The Witness, after watching Ready to Fall on MTV music videos at my grandmas. She took me to buy the album, and passed away not even a year later from cancer. Brings a sad nostalgia for me, but I love that album. This song brilliantly points out the problems of mindless consumerism.
I've seen other channels react to this song; you're one of the few who will talk about what the song is about and recognize the message behind the video and the song itself. I've been a fan of Rise Against since I was in middle school, and it's awesome to see this song be appreciated for its message. Thank you
One touch I really loved about the music video is the fact that they showed Nestle crunch in third world countries as Nestle has a history of knowingly using child slavery, especially nestle crunch.
Man, gotta say I only ever click on your videos for song that I like to see your reaction, but never seen u hit trash on anything. I appreciate your open interpretation to music that’s not what u would usually listen to
Ive Never Clicked On A Video So Fast.. Layed.. Do Not Sleep On These Guys! The Best Band You Will Ever Hear... If You're All About Postivity.. All About Good Energy Keep Reacting To These Guys! You Will Not Be Disappointed..
When I was traveling to native tribes in Alaska filming about how climate change is impacting their ways of life, they said the problem with food and products today is there’s no story behind it. There’s no memory involved, “you went out this day, with these friends and did this work to bring back these meals” they said consuming like this leaves your soul empty- that’s part of the reason people feel like they have a void
This is something Karl Marx realized and wrote about as well, called commodity fetishism. This part in this video summarizes it well ruclips.net/video/rfYvLlbXj_8/видео.html
Rock and metal music is often times much, much more emotional and levels deeper than people give it credit for. I think a lot of people just want superficial, surface level satisfaction when it comes to music and dont like it when it makes them think beyond themselves.
Idk if you read the comments, but my man, you're videos have gotten me through some really damaging times. Keep it up. I love your passion and your content. We love you, bub
Rise Against is a lot of things, but emotionless certainly isn’t one of them. They pour themselves in to every single song. That’s what makes them so great!
They're my #1. I consider them true punk rock. I saw them 6 times soon to be 7. Theyre the reason i survive. They sound exactly like this live. Beyond awesom!!!! I also have to say that i work for a shoe co. Some are made in the US but alot are made in other countries and they slap a made in the USA stamp on. Only a certain percentage has to be done here to consider made in the USA
Rise against has been involved in environmental conservation, human rights, and charities for over a decade. 11 years ago when I was in highschool they had a huge anti whaling campaign, and when they were satisfied with that they moved towards slave wages in asian factories and unsafe working conditions in those factories
I love Rise Against. A band who really prides themselves in talking about stuff that no one wants to talk about. Another one that is like that by Rise Against, the song Make it Stop (September’s Children). That’s a song that hits really really deep
Man I’m loving your hair. You should check out pentatonix, A-cappella group mixed w bass and beat boxing. Lot of people start off with “Hallelujah.” Much love.
This band is great about the videos displaying all these kinds of messages, Rooftops and Give it All also do an amazing job of getting their messages across
dude, loving the hair. and kudos on doing rise against. PLEASE do an "afi" video, with the song "days of the phoenix" or I guess, silver and cold. they fell into popularity around 2002, and only a few "hits" of that album have videos, unfortunately. either way, keep it up man, love the videos.
Ill never forget when isaw them, fall out boy, linking park and soad all in the same night at the 25th year anniversary acoustic festival. Times voice is fucking amazing in person, none of that autotune bs
Here’s the link to the Patreon for request and Merch discount 🔥🔥🤘🏽-> patreon.com/Layedbakdfr

Don't let the refrain fool ya bruh
You should react to Bustdown rollie avalanche
a switch up would be Tech NOIR by Gunship
Please react Abra cadabra Freestyle 2, love from the Ends❤
Rise against is one of those bands that has earned the respect of millions. Brilliant writing and instrumentals. They’re an all time favorite.

Literally, the second i saw it lol. Guitar Hero brought such good music into my childhood, its crazy.
@@projxctd4176 yeah GH 3 was my game man, that's where I first heard of it too.
@@projxctd4176 damn gh3 was a classic. Having to battle Tom morello. Early exposure to rock and roll is good for the soul

Exactly
Right? Like, there're other emotions besides anger...
Make It Stop (September's Children), People Live Here and Hero of War are also incredibly powerful songs by them.
Definitely agree.
September's Children literally saved my life. Wouldn't be here if not for Rise Against
Ahh yes. The songs that bring me literal tears.... And "i dont wanna be here anymore" is a major mood these days. This band has always slayed.
The Good Left Undone or I Don’t Wanna Be Here are my personal favourites
3 of my favourites from them, their The Numbers from the new album is incredible too

The same PETA that kidnaps and murders peoples dogs?
Love the band but working with PETA isn't something to be proud of.
Everything but the peta is good.
@@FinalStooge They're last two albums prove you pro government theory is wrong. They have always been against full government control.
What a beautiful song. Watching them live in a couple days, really excited to see this energy face to face
I saw them in 2017 with Peirce The Veil. Never will forget it
its a great set!! I had sm adrenaline that I got a black eye & didn't even notice. been listening to them since I was fresh out of diapers
Saw them live a year ago, it was my first concert since the Pandemic and that shit was awesome. They only sang old songs like this and I was the happiest I could have been
same excited to see them next month. my all time band since the early 2000s
@@dill6078 I am so jealous. PTV is my favourite and Rise Against is up there too.
I would say there is emotion in the beginning; melancholy.

this guy is heads and shoulders above the other reaction channels
I really hope he watches more Rise Against. They’ve been my favorite band for years and I love watching new people get into them
Rise against will ALWAYS deliver a good thoughtful message, full of emotions,
Hence their name 'Rise Against'
They always talk about this big issues on their lyrics and videos. Songs like this one, Ready To Fall or Re-Education do this and are bangers! Then other like Hero Of War or Make It Stop go even darker
He'd be shook by Rage's Killing In The Name. They even screamed those lyrics at the Portland protests at the riot lines

Disparity by Design hits hard in that regard. Same with Make it Stop and Help is on the Way.

That first chorus drop always hits. Shit’ll have granny moshing on her walker😂
TRUUUUEEEEE
I'm not on your patreon, but man, these deserve the attention so f***ing much!! Lol they have been on the radio and never sold out, they have been the most influential activist bands of my lifetime and they deserve more attention. Love seeing you jam! 🤘🏻
More rise against reactions please this band fucking rocks
I remember this was the first song that I heard whenever I graduated basic training back in 2007, was sitting in a Hard Rock Cafe with my parents.
The Sufferer and the Witness is a pretty damn good album overall. So much good stuff from RA on that one. Hands down one of my faves.
It’s sad where a lot of our prized possessions come from. Our phones, watches, jewelry etc. Great song!
saw them when i was 20 back in 2011 broke my ankle from a moshpit with this song in Utah. Would do it all over again, one of the best concerts I've been to.
Dude, Rise Against is such a good band. Excited to see you reacting to them!
Forever my top favorite band. They have so many amazing songs. The awareness and stories they speak in their music. Is what makes them amazing. I saw them in april, and omg..... The emotions were raw, the fans, the energy, the music... It was otherworldly.
I appreciate it very much that you’re doing more styles reaction’s. Scary videos, rap, and rock! Appreciate you man! 🤟🏾
This is one of my favorite radio bands I have not seen hardly any of their music videos so this is a cool experience
Been my favorite band for almost 20 years. I wish they would’ve gave him a better song but this one is still great. The new nowhere generation album is fantastic.
“He’s singing with no emotion”
Oh he’s going to get caught off guard. Love it.
This song puts tears to my eyes man, so many who’ve died in the desert and rivers trying to come to America.
One of the first punk bands I ever saw live @ Emos in Austin. They’re more influential than they get credit for, great reaction.
Heyy same here! I live only 45 minutes away from there, so of course I had to go lol
Finally man just finally someone who actually saw the meaning 😭. Nothing against other reactors its just always disappointing seeing everyone react to this and not taking the time to see the meaning behind it and the importance of it. So many miss the message 😭 which i get happens im just so happy to see you were able to catch it.
Laydbak always Laydfacts, great reaction my man
Rise against is such a good band dude, so glad I grew up in the era I did
I REMEMBERED THIS SONG FIRST WHEN IT WAS CAME OUT TOGETHER WITH THAT STREET FIGHTER AND TEKKEN VIDEO GAME!!! THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
Yo falling in reverse done dropped another new song, shit is sooo fire its crazy 🤙
I saw them live last night they played this first I was so excited

All these years, and the first chorus still sends shivers up my spine
never seen the video but loved this song for YEARS, this video hit hard and gave me chills. loved it!

Glad you're feeling better! Have always loved this song, the meaning, and the band. One of my fave reactions from you!
Saw them live back in the day during warped tour, one of the first concerts I went to in high school. Brought back some good vibes man !
Ive Never Clicked On A Video So Fast..
Layed.. Do Not Sleep On These Guys! The Best Band You Will Ever Hear... If You're All About Postivity.. All About Good Energy Keep Reacting To These Guys! You Will Not Be Disappointed..
I've always love Rise Against. But, this video that sadly I've never seen just changed everything! These guys deserve even more respect.
this one has been in the making for a long time. i remember they were asking for this years ago in the comments
My favorite band of ALL TIME. Thanks for running this video.
Knew immediately what was in store just by the thumbnail 🔥🔥 all time classic right here
I know you love falling in reverse "voices in my head" and amazing music video as well, check it out for sure

I saw Rise Against and Chevelle last year in Chicago. They were absolutely amazing.
Definitely a pass. I swear I still listen to this song at least once a week, if not more. One of my all time faves.

Saw them live years ago. Top 5 concert I've seen. Incredible
Fucking love this song! ❤ went hard at the gym to this too back in the day.
This right here a classic
I love videos like this, I listen to all types of music and it’s cool to see people trying new music and broadening horizons
Man I’m loving your hair. You should check out pentatonix, A-cappella group mixed w bass and beat boxing. Lot of people start off with “Hallelujah.” Much love.
Yessssss! More Rise Against!
Love this song! Especially live. The crowd always gets so fucking hyped for this one.
Man you stumbled upon one of the greats my friend. I saw this and i was like WHATT HE AINT HURD Prayer of the Refugeeeeeeeeeee. Lets git it!
I adore this band, found them when I was a teenager and been fan ever since. The lyrics always impacted hard.
This whole album is amazing
Rise against will go down as one of the most underrated rock bands and its honestly so sad.
I recommend watching make it stop Septembers children by them. They are my favorite band and I’m proud to say I’ve seen them live 57 times.
Yesssssss!!! Couldn't wait for you to see this one!
Make It Stop( Septembers Children, Survivors Guilt, Help Is On The Way. Great song to listen too down the road/
Guitar Hero turned me on to this song. It hasn't left my playlist since
One of my favorite react channels thx for posting ur reacts to my favorite songs
I'm seeing them in concert next month. I hope they play this song, satellite, and architect amongst many others
Rise Against - Survive.... Great Song
Highly recommend Make It Stop if you haven’t already. Very powerful song. Great video as always, keep up the awesome work!!
This band is great about the videos displaying all these kinds of messages, Rooftops and Give it All also do an amazing job of getting their messages across
Ooo I was so excited to see this noti. Glad you liked it 🖤
dude, loving the hair. and kudos on doing rise against.
PLEASE do an "afi" video, with the song "days of the phoenix" or I guess, silver and cold. they fell into popularity around 2002, and only a few "hits" of that album have videos, unfortunately.
either way, keep it up man, love the videos.
One of the few bands that actually sounds the same live and on record
Classic song gives me so much nostalgia.
Rise against is my favourite band of all time tattooed on my arm all there songs have a deep meaning
Rise against is my favorite band of all time and I also have their logo tattooed on my arm.
My favorite band. Satellite and reeducation are sick songs with just as heavy hitting meanings.
Hey Laydbak everytime you react to nu-metal or early 00s song your views go way up. And just saying I live for those reaction my man. Keep it up
My favorite Rise Against song
Ill never forget when isaw them, fall out boy, linking park and soad all in the same night at the 25th year anniversary acoustic festival. Times voice is fucking amazing in person, none of that autotune bs
Hands down one of the greatest bands
Saw them live about 2 weeks ago in bend. It was a great concert hella good. That's whole album is a banger.
SEE y’all was LayesBakDFR bout his hair now look at him! STRAIGHT FIRE!!!
I think you would really dig their song “Satellite”
Great content as always!
The video for this song makes me cry bro every dam time
