The irony when they say metal music breeds violence and then this shit happens. Honestly so touching you can truly tell that his emotions were right there. Ivan, what a dude.
The whole metal breeds violence probably comes from people who saw one mosh pit and think metal heads just do that anywhere. A lot of metal bands, the singers in particular are usually very nice people indeed. They’re also the quickest to call shit out on while on stage performing
I know just how you feel brother. I’m a vet as well. Something that always keeps me going when I feel forgotten is that all of my brothers and sisters out there and everyone who appreciates vets remembers us. They may not know us, but they know what we have been through and they know what it’s like. I remember all of them and have the phrase “;IGY6” and the number “22” tattooed on my arm. You are never forgotten. Stay strong brother.
357 Sig Shooter im a vet myself and I have to agree it makes you think people still need us to protect them and appreciate what we had to sacrifice, possible death or being tore to hell when we came back and being away from our loved ones etc you know the list can keep going but when this good video is over and you turn on any news station my preference is fox but regardless of which news channel it's always about our president Biden and it is beyond aggervating and down right imbarrassing to know how so many of our fellow brothers and sisters gave it all for him to give up and pull out and leave billions of dollars in helos and military equipment and m16s, ammo etc etc and let the enemy we had fought hard ass hell against just keep it for free to more less build back up and moreless use against us later on and not even think twice about grabbing atleast the helos and other high dollar aviation and atleast try to resell them to someone in nato and use that money to help homeless vets or to help veteran suicide or even just use it to help out people in the USA. I mean that's where all of it for the most part came from to begin with from tax payers. Didnt mean to rant this video does show and give hope but im not sure it's enough to give hope for the government we have now.

I met Ivan briefly at the Jacksonville arena, my son yelled at him hey my dad's a vet! Ivan stopped everything came to me shook my hand gave me a quick hug then was pulled away by security. This moment lives in my head forever. FFDP great guys great band. Thank you for all you do
Thank u for ur service, and I got to meet him back in 2014 at summerfest in Milwaukee, I was 10 at the time and it was my first time seeing ffdp, I got to go on stage for burn mf jus like most of the young kids and Ivan was so chill and he shook my hand when I got on the stagec asked how my night goin, and then at the end of the show when he was running down the isle high-fiving people, he noticed me and gave me a hug and took his black metal milisha tank top off and handed it to rite to me, can’t believe it’s almost been 10 years since that moment, time flies man, now im 19 but I will always remember that night
@@ReservoirPunk totally agree like why do people not see this. If I'm 19 do I wanna go to Vietnam,Iraq and I could go on. No I don't.

Nah i dont live by a black and white mentality. There ARE exceptions. Some soldiers love doing more than whats necessary. Its definitely a minority but their are still soldiers that go to war because it lets them do things that wouldnt be allowed back home. Soldiers have tortured raped and killed civies before so nah. Not every vet deserves respect and appreciation. Fucking hate ignorant black and white perspectives.

Yeah man. It took me almost 5 years to come back. My kids brought me back. I was very lost. People just don't know what we go through. I hope everything goes well for you bro.
Yes, Thank you both for your service, Gentleman. And know that you are a soldier, ALWAYS. No matter what life throws at you, remember your training and the one's you served with who didn't make it home. Honor them by living life to it's fullest!
True brother, especially now... I wasn't a grunt, but I brought in the bullets, beans and bandaids, and brought out the boys wrapped in them... Its been a decade since I was downrange, but it hasn't faded at all
I'm from Brazil, this video moved me a lot! I didn't know this band, they came to me on a really bad day man! and now I find this! This video, this feeling he shows for the soldier... It's perfect, forcing him to make this day better
Dang, that just means we are a bunch of evil Fs :( Our way of live relies on so many lives having to suffer so we can continue playing this game of monoploy.
@@andyc3012 speak for yourself. My way of life doesn't rely upon, nor cause the suffering of others, and I thank God every night that there are men and women out there who are willing to sacrifice their comfort and safety so I can sleep peacefully at night.

Ain't government invading the US. -.-
@@joegvoll1945 do you harm? Like say African countries stop buying US farmed chickens? Or countries that want to nationalize their oil? Stop trading in the dollar? So we bomb the crap out of them? Why is our government still bombing Somalia? Those nomads want to invade US?

I'm from a big military family &what these men and women go thru to protect their families and every single family out there in the US of A is breathtaking and a true inspiration to all if us who don't understand what true sacrifice is!! Thank you and soooooo much luv to all my military fam out there! We LUV ❤️ U!!!!!!
And thank you sir for your service and all youre sacrifices so we civilians can live our lives that most of us take for granted.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and GOD bless you and youre family and all the sevice men and women..
As a wounded USMC Combat Vet, this got me choked up. This is why I love rock and roll! Such respect and love for FFDP. The fact he also got choked up when he went back to sing….wow. Again, mad respect 🫡
I got talk to Ivan after a show once. Told him how I missed one of their USO tours by a day overseas and without any pause he thanked me for my service. He did the whole show sick af and still signed autographs afterward. Great dude

That’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen posted on the internet in a long time. We, not as people but as a country must do better for our men and women soldiers both currently serving and the veterans of past wars. They put their lives on the line to keep us safe and we do nothing for them when they come home. This topic really sends me in to orbit. TO EVERY SERVICE MEMBER who may see this comment, Thank you for your service, Thank you for everything you gave to keep my ass safe. I truly thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Wish everyone had as much compassion as Ivan does for our Military and our police forces and not to mention the kids he always brings on stage I love Ivan so much and to bring recovery to light as much as he does and Moodys Medicinals for those of us with PTSD and Anxiety so he is helping those of us with mental illness I mean what a man ....
@@dartdeity7919 his past isn't exactly great he was abusive to his lover and he announced to a crowd that his mother developed cancer which was a lie he told while drunk. regardless he's made many changes and I love Ivan
One of the most humble people out there. True passion for soldiers and veterans it’s written in his songs. Can’t tell you how many demons I deal with from war and this band helps me through so many of them!!
Just know what you have done for this country and it’s people will never be forgotten. Thank you from bottom of my heart for your service. From one internet stranger. :)
I met Ivan Moody in Colorado at a local bar. He bought me lunch and commissioned an Art Job from me . I sculpted him a pocket size Frankenstein . It meant the world to me as I was homeless and well it was a very proud moment . He is misunderstood , badly criticized and unfairly judged .! Luv you Ivan!
This is the one weekend where all of us veterans salute our troops and squids and commend them for their continued service, our fallen and our service dogs. This is why I love this band. Thank you for your support. Navy retired veteran.
Just another reason why I love FFDP. There aren’t many in the entertainment industry that truly respects and appreciates what my brothers and sisters in uniform sacrifice for those who cannot protect themselves. Thank you so much to FFDP for such an honorable display, you cannot understand just how much we all appreciate it
I love the respect and love he has for our military. I teared up watching him hold it in. Its absolutely amazing what he does for our vets amd it kinda makes us appreciate them even more seeing his dedication to them and his music
The reverance Ivan and FFDP have for my brothers and sisters in arms is amazing. Their music resonates with so many of us, but their respect for those of us that served says so much about their character. Love these dudes.
You can hear the feelings in his voice when he tries to sing after showing that soldier love💔 after he stood up and saluted him respectfully and the soldier couldnt stop shedding tears, that is me right now everytime i watch this. This is exactly why entertainment events like concerts should always exist because it brings us all closer together🙌 Thank you Ivan for showing this man that everyone around him cares and appreciates him all at once. This is very heart warming🙏
Wow that is amazing man i know they have the most respect for all of our soldiers and show it!!! Thank you for your service sir. Also, stay safe, happy, and healthy. Truly, thank you for your bravery and you," said shit hit the fan" if your saying thst i bet it was fu@kin crazy man....glad your safe and thank you again...Nicole. ***hugs****salute***
Not only is Battleborn one of my favorites they've ever produced, but Ivan's absolute respect and love for the armed forces makes my soul smile. Much love to our veterans, thank you, all of you.
Their song the Brighter Side of Grey came out the day before my 10 year old grandson left this lifetime. We heard it the day after and played it at his celebration of life. He turned 13 in heaven on the 16th of this month. We felt like it was written by him through you, to us. He was an amazing little boy with a huge ❤️
Most epic band ever. God bless all who have served and are serving for us all. Also god bless FFDP for how much they care for all of those individuals.
Wow... That made me cry... Your the MAN IVAN, And god bless our troops. It's an extremely difficult thing just to try and live a normal life again! I love FFDP! They're songs have helped me alot in my own struggles so keep it up guys!
...Holly fucking crap... everytime I see this.... it kills me....what a freaking humble person this guy is... no words for expressing what this video make me feel...
Love Ivan he's such a real human being even if he's had his ups and downs in life just remember that and try and apologize for the past mistakes we've all made and God and everyone will love you back.
Just when I thought that us military veterans were forgotten and yet 5FDP and the fans help to keep us going. I’m a retired Army veteran and I can honestly say that 5FDP is one of my favorite bands. Thank you for constantly giving us hope guys. It definitely means a lot
This brings tears to my eyes. It's truly one of the most caring and compassionate things I've ever seen a musician do. I felt that. What a beautiful moment ❤️
Hi beautiful fan thank for being an amazing fan I want to thank you for your love and support showed toward me all this while, I want to let you know that your likes on my page have never gone unnoticed 😘
Very beautiful!! Hope to see them one day I greatly appreciate their love and recognition to the military and LEO and mental health struggles. At the end of the day were all human. 🙏🏻 Heard on the radio "the world is full of nice people and if you can't find one, be one!"
This is one of the most amazing things ever Ivan moody is one the most respectful people ever I would love to meet him and thank him for what he's done
Saw them live a few years ago, every show they have a moment of some kind for those who protect and serve our country. And not in some like surface level lets all cheer for them or something, but true feelings from the heart every time
I'm a war veteran. I'm in late 60s now. I quit school and enlisted at 17yrs old. Two honorable discharges Navy n Army. Five Finger Death Punch, y'all rock this veteran. Thank you
Ivan gives me chills!! The way that he let alone honors and loves our men and women in service and those vocals though 😍😊 He is a genuine, unique, characteristic loving soul 🙏🏼
Wrong Side of Heaven brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. The message and connection with the song just sends chills through my body!! But it's my favorite so I can't help myself°
Same, aswell as Gone Away. I know it's just a cover but I feel like FFDPs version of it has so much more emotion and conviction. Definitely tear jerkers
Behind 'n in his lyrics you always find his humbly way. That expression in his eye showed me a lot about him. ...tears ce down but don't ask why... I love this band like hell n I'm 4ever rock n roll.... God bless u guys!!! And Thanks ...!
Thank you FFDP for remembering our fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice and are continuing to so we may have our freedom. "American pride"!!!
This man...ivan has a heart of gold. Compassion for everyone, love and respect those who deserve it and at that comfortable with emotions flowing. Forget those about to rock we salute ivan.
I'm not f'n cryin ur f'n cryin! This is what I absofuckinglutely LOVE about Ivan and 5FDP! MUCH MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT AND TO THAT SOLDIER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE! 🤘😝🤘🖤🖤
I’ve heard so many wonderful things about the lead singer of five finger death punch and this right here confirms it all!! What a great guy with such a beautiful soul.
I’ve seen them in concert and he called up a service member to the stage and held up the flag in Afghanistan with all the military branches. It was a truly amazing and genuine experience
Just saw these guys live for the first time about a month ago. It was an amazing experience, and Ivan was just like this! Super interactive with the crowd and caring all the same
I’m not even a vet but my dad has served the Canadian military for the past nearly 30 years now & this made me tear up. He never went to university so he could never become a officer & managed to climb the ranks to his max rank. Somehow managed to get a special promotion that is like unheard of & is now an official officer. He managed to break the military protocol & is the only man in the history of our military to make this feat. I’m incredibly proud of him.
Haven't really gotten into FFDP that hardcore but I will say I love the respect this dude always shows our soldiers and vets. When most of the modern pop culture crap is denigrating our service members and country its good to see someone like him stand up against the frey and make it a POINT to show them that we care and appreciate their sacrifice. Big respects!!
The irony when they say metal music breeds violence and then this shit happens. Honestly so touching you can truly tell that his emotions were right there. Ivan, what a dude.
Theres so much research that proves that wrong. Metal heads are some of the happiest people. And nicest people you'll ever meet.
The whole metal breeds violence probably comes from people who saw one mosh pit and think metal heads just do that anywhere. A lot of metal bands, the singers in particular are usually very nice people indeed. They’re also the quickest to call shit out on while on stage performing

Still remembered? Brother not a real American out there ever forgot.
I miss my brothers. Memories of them keep me going today.

Nah i dont live by a black and white mentality. There ARE exceptions. Some soldiers love doing more than whats necessary. Its definitely a minority but their are still soldiers that go to war because it lets them do things that wouldnt be allowed back home.
Soldiers have tortured raped and killed civies before so nah. Not every vet deserves respect and appreciation.
Fucking hate ignorant black and white perspectives.
@@kross2659 let me guess. you have had a run in with those pieces of cancer? they piss me off so much that I've lost my composure to almost Marine D.I. proportions.
@@amv062184 no I’ve never had a run in (at least not yet), I just know assholes like that exist.
in the actions alone, you can already understand how much respect and appreciation was there.
100%..and you can just tell by watching Ivan that it was HONEST and TRUE....no BS, straight from the heart
I have so much respect for Five Finger Death Punch because of their message. They do so much to bring awareness to mental health of veterans. And this just shows how much they care. I'm very proud to be a fan of them.
People don't even know
@@ryanmckinley4020 what do you mean?! 😂 If you are fan you know, duh
Do you mean people that don’t know of them don’t know? 🤦🏻♂️
FFDP for life!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I'm literally crying right now. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Ivan is truly one of the best people alive and needs to be protected at all costs
I am a Vet and I appreciate videos like this it is hard for all of us.
Never fear IGY6
Yeah man. It took me almost 5 years to come back. My kids brought me back. I was very lost. People just don't know what we go through. I hope everything goes well for you bro.
Thank you both for your service, gentlemen.
@@SXTitty Greatly Spoken.
Yes, Thank you both for your service, Gentleman. And know that you are a soldier, ALWAYS. No matter what life throws at you, remember your training and the one's you served with who didn't make it home. Honor them by living life to it's fullest!
True brother, especially now... I wasn't a grunt, but I brought in the bullets, beans and bandaids, and brought out the boys wrapped in them... Its been a decade since I was downrange, but it hasn't faded at all
I am a Vetran and I love the way he cares about veterans. It makes me very emotional we still have people in this great country like him 🇺🇸 ❤
Thank you for your service Sir. From myself and my family. ✌️💯
Thank You for your service. ❤
Im a veteran and have a lot of respect for ffdp
He cares for the killers!!!
What a human you and him
@RaTPac why don’t you ask the taliban that question
I'm from Brazil, this video moved me a lot! I didn't know this band, they came to me on a really bad day man! and now I find this! This video, this feeling he shows for the soldier... It's perfect, forcing him to make this day better
You can tell the emotions in his voice when he started to sing.
That was the first thing I noticed when he started to sing too, he was definitely choked up himself 💜😔
Absolutely love this. Brings a tear to my eye. Thank you to anyone that has ever Served to protect our Freedom and way of life.
♥️
Dang, that just means we are a bunch of evil Fs :(
Our way of live relies on so many lives having to suffer so we can continue playing this game of monoploy.
@@andyc3012 speak for yourself. My way of life doesn't rely upon, nor cause the suffering of others, and I thank God every night that there are men and women out there who are willing to sacrifice their comfort and safety so I can sleep peacefully at night.

Get over it.
Ain't government invading the US.

@@joegvoll1945 do you harm? Like say African countries stop buying US farmed chickens?
Or countries that want to nationalize their oil?
Stop trading in the dollar?
So we bomb the crap out of them?
Why is our government still bombing Somalia?
Those nomads want to invade US?
Wow! I'm from a big military family &what these men and women go thru to protect their families and every single family out there in the US of A is breathtaking and a true inspiration to all if us who don't understand what true sacrifice is!! Thank you and soooooo much luv to all my military fam out there! We LUV ❤️ U!!!!!!
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
As an Iraq and Afghanistan Veteran, a lot of their music touches my heart.
Thank you, Guys !!!
From the bottom of my heart !!!

Thank you for your service, brother
@@karlsmith2570, thank you, Brother.
It was an Honor and a Privilege.
To me the look in his eye as he takes that last look at him before he walks away says it all. Nothing but respect there.
As a wounded USMC Combat Vet, this got me choked up. This is why I love rock and roll! Such respect and love for FFDP. The fact he also got choked up when he went back to sing….wow. Again, mad respect 🫡
That right there is respect and grattitude. Huge respect for 5FDP and huge respect for the men and women of the military
I got talk to Ivan after a show once. Told him how I missed one of their USO tours by a day overseas and without any pause he thanked me for my service. He did the whole show sick af and still signed autographs afterward. Great dude
And I thank you for your service as well....✌&❤ 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

How he honored this vet with such respect gave me chills. Amazing.
When the soldier puts his hand on his chest. That was powerful!
Yes
That’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen posted on the internet in a long time. We, not as people but as a country must do better for our men and women soldiers both currently serving and the veterans of past wars. They put their lives on the line to keep us safe and we do nothing for them when they come home. This topic really sends me in to orbit. TO EVERY SERVICE MEMBER who may see this comment, Thank you for your service, Thank you for everything you gave to keep my ass safe. I truly thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Agree...so amazing
Wish everyone had as much compassion as Ivan does for our Military and our police forces and not to mention the kids he always brings on stage I love Ivan so much and to bring recovery to light as much as he does and Moodys Medicinals for those of us with PTSD and Anxiety so he is helping those of us with mental illness I mean what a man ....
Word!☝️ 100%
I was in 1st Armored Division in Baghdad, Iraq in 2010 when 5FDP came, these guys are 1st class! Thank you from all of us Veterans!
Love that everyone was respectful and didnt try to grab Ivan in this moment
His name is Ivan Moody. And he deserves all the respect in the world! Dude has so much hard and is still hated.
Why is he hated?
@@dartdeity7919 his past isn't exactly great he was abusive to his lover and he announced to a crowd that his mother developed cancer which was a lie he told while drunk. regardless he's made many changes and I love Ivan

One of the most humble people out there. True passion for soldiers and veterans it’s written in his songs. Can’t tell you how many demons I deal with from war and this band helps me through so many of them!!
❤️❤️❤️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Just know what you have done for this country and it’s people will never be forgotten. Thank you from bottom of my heart for your service. From one internet stranger. :)
@@jlopez240gaming7 thank you!
Thank you for all that you've done for me and my Family. Thank you, Brother.
I met Ivan Moody in Colorado at a local bar. He bought me lunch and commissioned an Art Job from me . I sculpted him a pocket size Frankenstein . It meant the world to me as I was homeless and well it was a very proud moment . He is misunderstood , badly criticized and unfairly judged .! Luv you Ivan!
This is the one weekend where all of us veterans salute our troops and squids and commend them for their continued service, our fallen and our service dogs. This is why I love this band. Thank you for your support. Navy retired veteran.
Just another reason why I love FFDP. There aren’t many in the entertainment industry that truly respects and appreciates what my brothers and sisters in uniform sacrifice for those who cannot protect themselves.
Thank you so much to FFDP for such an honorable display, you cannot understand just how much we all appreciate it
My best friend/ roommate got me on this band. Wrong side of heaven first song I heard of there. Army vet here
Thank you guys for the support
God bless you and thank you for your service 🙏🙏✌️🦅
I love the respect and love he has for our military. I teared up watching him hold it in. Its absolutely amazing what he does for our vets amd it kinda makes us appreciate them even more seeing his dedication to them and his music
Oh yeah, because the media/entertainment business is not part of the department of propaganda -.-
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
The reverance Ivan and FFDP have for my brothers and sisters in arms is amazing. Their music resonates with so many of us, but their respect for those of us that served says so much about their character. Love these dudes.
You can hear the feelings in his voice when he tries to sing after showing that soldier love💔 after he stood up and saluted him respectfully and the soldier couldnt stop shedding tears, that is me right now everytime i watch this. This is exactly why entertainment events like concerts should always exist because it brings us all closer together🙌
Thank you Ivan for showing this man that everyone around him cares and appreciates him all at once. This is very heart warming🙏
My whole unit surprised by them once on our first tour while I was in the army. A moment to breath before shit really hit the fan that month.
Wow that is amazing man i know they have the most respect for all of our soldiers and show it!!! Thank you for your service sir. Also, stay safe, happy, and healthy. Truly, thank you for your bravery and you," said shit hit the fan" if your saying thst i bet it was fu@kin crazy man....glad your safe and thank you again...Nicole. ***hugs****salute***
Thank you for your service brother!
Not only is Battleborn one of my favorites they've ever produced, but Ivan's absolute respect and love for the armed forces makes my soul smile. Much love to our veterans, thank you, all of you.
Their song the Brighter Side of Grey came out the day before my 10 year old grandson left this lifetime. We heard it the day after and played it at his celebration of life.
He turned 13 in heaven on the 16th of this month.
We felt like it was written by him through you, to us. He was an amazing little boy with a huge ❤️
This absolutely warmed my heart! I needed this so bad today!
So did i..I... I spent my day at the va.. I needed to see this
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
Most epic band ever. God bless all who have served and are serving for us all. Also god bless FFDP for how much they care for all of those individuals.
I really feel good about your actions and feelings....I love you Fifingledepunt. I follow and listen to your music in Thailand.
Hey sweetie..
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing
Wow... That made me cry... Your the MAN IVAN, And god bless our troops. It's an extremely difficult thing just to try and live a normal life again! I love FFDP! They're songs have helped me alot in my own struggles so keep it up guys!
Straight up, one of the coolest things, I’ve ever seen. ✊🏻
This right here. Probably saved this veterans life. Hooaah brother fight the fight. I'm with you 💯
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
...Holly fucking crap... everytime I see this.... it kills me....what a freaking humble person this guy is... no words for expressing what this video make me feel...
Wow words can't describe how amazing is this moment. You could see in Ivan's eyes the real emotions.
There's absolutely nobody in this world like Ivan Moody! He's so freaking awesome!
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
I got teary eyed watching this. Thank you for showing such love and respect for one of our Soldiers. God Bless
This band shows unbelievable support and understanding for soldiers struggles. Each time I see them do something like this I'm more impressed.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!
Hey sweetie..
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
Love Ivan he's such a real human being even if he's had his ups and downs in life just remember that and try and apologize for the past mistakes we've all made and God and everyone will love you back.
It’s amazing to see artist like these (usually rock artists) who are comfortable/safe enough to get that close to fans at a concert
Just when I thought that us military veterans were forgotten and yet 5FDP and the fans help to keep us going. I’m a retired Army veteran and I can honestly say that 5FDP is one of my favorite bands. Thank you for constantly giving us hope guys. It definitely means a lot
This brings tears to my eyes. It's truly one of the most caring and compassionate things I've ever seen a musician do. I felt that. What a beautiful moment ❤️
Hi beautiful fan thank for being an amazing fan I want to thank you for your love and support showed toward me all this while, I want to let you know that your likes on my page have never gone unnoticed 😘
Hello Fan How are you doing Thank you for liking my pages and God bless you ?
What a classy show of appreciation, all our veterans should be shown this amount of respect.
Very beautiful!! Hope to see them one day I greatly appreciate their love and recognition to the military and LEO and mental health struggles. At the end of the day were all human. 🙏🏻 Heard on the radio "the world is full of nice people and if you can't find one, be one!"
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
This is one of the most amazing things ever Ivan moody is one the most respectful people ever I would love to meet him and thank him for what he's done
Saw them live a few years ago, every show they have a moment of some kind for those who protect and serve our country. And not in some like surface level lets all cheer for them or something, but true feelings from the heart every time
I'm a war veteran. I'm in late 60s now. I quit school and enlisted at 17yrs old. Two honorable discharges Navy n Army. Five Finger Death Punch, y'all rock this veteran. Thank you
Ivan is truely an amazing singer and voice for our vets! 🤘🤘🤘 keep rocking FFDP!
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
Ivan gives me chills!! The way that he let alone honors and loves our men and women in service and those vocals though 😍😊 He is a genuine, unique, characteristic loving soul 🙏🏼
Wrong Side of Heaven brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. The message and connection with the song just sends chills through my body!! But it's my favorite so I can't help myself°
Hey sweetie.
Same, aswell as Gone Away. I know it's just a cover but I feel like FFDPs version of it has so much more emotion and conviction. Definitely tear jerkers
Hello Fan How are you doing Thank you for liking my pages and God bless you ?
Behind 'n in his lyrics you always find his humbly way. That expression in his eye showed me a lot about him. ...tears ce down but don't ask why... I love this band like hell n I'm 4ever rock n roll.... God bless u guys!!! And Thanks ...!
Thank you FFDP for remembering our fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice and are continuing to so we may have our freedom. "American pride"!!!
I now am checking out all their music. This video made me cry. These guys are awesome.
Hey sweetie..
💜✌️
I'm not a fan of the band whatsoever, but this is great.
Same here dude, my lil brother is a marine and loves these guys but I cant stand them lol but this.....this got me😭
I don't like their music one bit but clearly they're wonderful guys, big respect
makes sense with the linkin park pfp lol but yes this was amazing.
And fake. They rely on people's feelings and patriotism.

This is what I absofuckinglutely LOVE about Ivan and 5FDP! MUCH MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT AND TO THAT SOLDIER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE! 🤘😝🤘🖤🖤
That was prolly the most sincere love to a service men ive ever seen
Ivan Moody-One of the absolute BEST lead singers in ANY Band, and a True Man that loves our Military Personnel like no other!
THAT’S a man
I’ve heard so many wonderful things about the lead singer of five finger death punch and this right here confirms it all!! What a great guy with such a beautiful soul.
Mad respect.
I've never had a RUclips short make me teary eyed. That changed after watching this 😅
This is why Ivan rules, and he conquers even his own inner demons every day. Way to make this solider feel special 🤘
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
Not a fan of the band at all but respect for this gesture. Very cool to see the humble gratitude and respect shown to a serviceman. 🇺🇸
I agree. The band is terrible, but I love the respect!
I mean he beat his wife and lied about his mom having cancer so I would think he would need to repair his image by doing better
@@TheEpic408 He did that already. Hes been doin a lot better
FFDP has always had mad respect for vets and military personnel.
@@TheEpic408 he has been working on his issues for a while now no need to bring up old news
I met these guys on my tour in Iraq. They are legit good dudes
My younger sister she was a veteran from the United States army she passed away 4 years ago she had Ms I help take care of here you guys rock
I’ve seen them in concert and he called up a service member to the stage and held up the flag in Afghanistan with all the military branches. It was a truly amazing and genuine experience
Seen them in concert, and they r always a class act and amazing 🥰
That's amazing.they deserve the utmost respect!
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
Just saw these guys live for the first time about a month ago. It was an amazing experience, and Ivan was just like this! Super interactive with the crowd and caring all the same
Definitely one of the coolest videos I've ever seen period!!! FFDP is an amazing band and this just proves that!!
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
I’m not even a vet but my dad has served the Canadian military for the past nearly 30 years now & this made me tear up. He never went to university so he could never become a officer & managed to climb the ranks to his max rank. Somehow managed to get a special promotion that is like unheard of & is now an official officer. He managed to break the military protocol & is the only man in the history of our military to make this feat. I’m incredibly proud of him.
Just put in the title “Ivan”. Not just “the ffdp singer”. Mad respect to him and the men out there who are risking their lives to protect ours.
Haven't really gotten into FFDP that hardcore but I will say I love the respect this dude always shows our soldiers and vets. When most of the modern pop culture crap is denigrating our service members and country its good to see someone like him stand up against the frey and make it a POINT to show them that we care and appreciate their sacrifice. Big respects!!
We were always tld when we see a US Veteran, shake their hand n thank them for their service.
Hey
Awwwn, thanks I really appreciate that. You’re amazing.
Absolutely heart wrenching. I love this man.
