As a veteran (army 8yrs) 2 tours in Iraq. Thank you for your love and support! 5fdp is awesome they went to every base in Iraq and did a show for the troops, autographs and pictures afterwards they didn't leave until everybody got what they wanted.
Bryan Bellamy, thank you for your service indeed brother! Freedom doesn't come for free and it's sad that a huge majority of this younger generation think everything should be given to them for free!
Thank you Preston. Being a Navy vet, it's rare to hear anyone say thank you anymore. There are too many personal reasons why vets become homeless. Home foreclosures, cheating spouses, lack of VA assistance... too many to name. Presidents have always claimed to help vets but in the end, it would only land all of us back on square one. All we've ever really wanted was for our country to love us the way we love her. That's it. Preston, you keep being awesome, keep making stellar react videos and most of all, keep the faith bro.
This country doesnt give a flying fuck about you and you serviced profit for people under the illusion of american freedom but I have MUCH LOVE for you and others who serviced under the lies and illusions. You most likely have a HUGE heart and I thank you for your good intentions, friend
@@missmcque9756 A lot of us joined because it was our only way out of extreme poverty. I'm a hick with brains; intelligent enough to spot bullshit, anyway. Not the type to get swayed by a recruiter's soft pitch. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I signed my contract. My parents didn't have shit, and my HS gpa was, like, 2.0 or something because I was too busy, too tired, and too hungry to care about stupid homework. If I wanted to get any kind of higher education, the military was the ONLY way I could do it. Fuck the propaganda, for me it was strictly a career choice. I always felt like punching the middle class pretentious shits who claimed, "I joined so I could protect the flag and the country." They just wanted to shoot the big guns (and the really sick fuckers just wanted a legal way to kill a lot of people in as many bloody ways as possible) because it was cool. This was my way to have 3 meals a day to eat and a proper roof over my head. Fuck the propaganda, for me it was strictly a career choice.

I lost a very dear friend of mine to PTSD. He was a vet, and a wonderful husband and father to his two boys. The torment those in any branch on the Armed Forces face is very real, and needs to be seriously addressed. Thank you for doing this video, and to those of you who served and are reading these words now Thank you for all that you have done, all that you have sacrificed so that I can share these words with all of you now.
nooooooooo... who is killing people only for oil deserves it to live on the street... the us army killed more innocent people than hitler... while you see this, the us army is killing innocent people again and again...
Thank you for your service... To every single man and woman that has and is serving our country from the bottom of my heart God Bless each and everyone of you... 🇺🇸❤
Dale Fry I’m a veteran and remember my mother crying once when I was deploying in support of Enduring Freedom 1. It was the hardest thing I had to do, get on the plane after that. People often thank us for our service and sacrifice but forget that the sacrifice we willing accept is the sacrifice our loved ones have to live with also. So thank you for supporting your daughter as she stands on the front lines for us tonight.
Don't worry too much my friend. The Marines are still a branch that understands a woman has no place on the battlefield. She'll spend all her time in the back with the rest of the POG's. I've been there and can speak from experience. Also, I live in reality and say it like it is so don't get all offended.
King, as a Army veteran of 7 years and two Iraq tours. The love is much appreciated. Some of our brothers and sisters don’t get the help they need once we return back from a life of combat. For FFDP to shed light on a dark part of our country and for someone like yourself to react and show love means a lot. 🤘🏼🤘🏼hailz bruh!
Love the new intro bruh. I also love that you reacted this video! This is my absolute favorite from FFDP. I served in Afghanistan with the 101st ABN OEF 2010-11. This song gives me chills and puts me in my feels. Every. Damn. Time. "We few. We happy few. We band of brothers..."
@@prodbytriplex Ahhh Semper Fi Marine 😅 thank you for your service. I couldn't imagine what you guys saw then. I was just getting into middle school in '03 but I knew that one day I'd be wearing that flag on my shoulder. Signed my contract in '08 and started Combat Engineer basic in '09.

Thank you for all those that do support all vets and those of us currently serving. This is the first time I heard this song or anything from this group, but I’ll be checking them out for now on. Really choked up right now.
Im so happy you reacted to this song! My personal favorite from 5fdp for that reason, our military deserves a hell of alot more then what they get, especially for what they sacrifice. I'm proud of every single one of our men and women who fight for the right reasons for our country, and damn it if I was president i would change that in a heart beat! And knowing this song is about the mental hell they gotta endure in battle, then after discharche, they dont get appreciated like they should, thats one of our biggest issues we need to address for our country to make it better. Thank you once again for your reaction to this amazing song from 5fdp and once again THANK YOU TO OUR MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!!
As a vetern that served 3 tours in the desert. (4 yrs Navy) (10 yrs Army) I appreciate your words. Thank you. I was actually homeless for 3 years. I am still struggling but the help i receive motivates me to interact with the civilian society a bit better than i did years ago. FFDP is one hell of a band and i love them for their support for my brethern.
From this Army Infantry veteran to you brother. People like you are the medicine that this sick country needs. And it is also people like you that make service of this country so honorable and worthwhile. Keep doing what you are doing; and if you ever come to Atlanta, I want to honor you and what you're doing with a meal and a drink. Thank you.
Thank you Preston!! And thanks to The Pack!! For doing this song man!! Next one, Five Finger - Gone Away.. I'm so happy you did this song bro!! Happy New Years to you and the fams!! I knew you'd love it.. I want everyone to come together for our soldiers!!
As just one of the multiple Vets that have posted on this, idk how much i can add but i appreciate the support brotha the VA can only do so much, and when we come back from overseas the transition from Soldier to civilian is brutal, especially for Combat Vets love your content man, keep it up
As a Vet myself (6 years Army/1 tour AFG) this video has always been super hard for me to watch. I have to come back to it sometimes to help me process all the stuff inside my mind. When i saw you posted this, I figured that I would embrace this video again with this KTF Fam and I appreciate it. All the love and support in the comments for vets is a rarity on YT and I appreciate you all. Thank you for this.
Preston, another FFDP video for you is Jekyll and Hyde. I swear the song is my theme song. Also as a15 year, multiple deployment Vet Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Kyrgyzstan. Thank you.
9 year Navy veteran here. I love the video from 5 finger death punch. Also this video I love that you always support us veterans! It doesnt go unnoticed!
Appreciate the respect you are giving the Veterans. I'm a 10 year Army vet, no Iraq or Afghanistan, but Kuwait and Mogadishu in my time. FFDP has quickly become one of my favorites not only the music but the support they give the veterans. Another great song for Vet's is Rise Against - Hero of War, it's quite amazing and full of feels.
Army vet here. One piece of advice. Don't share a foxhole with someone braver than yourself. Vet's know what I mean. As you will learn. My you always have hot chow, cold water an a warm woobie.
There are never enough words to express how much everyone’s service in the military means to and for all of us. The first time I seen this video, I broke down bawling within the first minute. My family checked on me and they teared up as well. I still cry seeing and listening to this song, thinking of my family that’s served and is serving. Thank you all for everything you’ve done and sacrificed for our freedom.
Preston, thank you for the love. 14 years in the Army. Most people do not understand the wars we still fight on a daily basis. We are rely on our brothers and sisters in arms, most people can't understand our hell. GOD bless and keep the faith.
It's true, this is one of their best songs. Everything about it is just perfect. And with the video, I get goosebumbs as well every single time I watch it. Great reaction video once again man!
On behalf of my brothers and sisters, active and retired US soldiers and also the 35th engineers and the Big Red One who I served with for 13 years and three tours thank you for acknowledging Five Finger Death Punch, this song and the video that touches all of us every time we hear it. Keep doing what you're doing we all love watching your Channel and thank you
thank you for not interrupting it too much. and for listening to a powerful song with a powerful video. this song brings me to tears every damned time. if i might suggest from five finger death punch "remember everything" or their cover of "gone away"
Thanks for the support (11years US Army) 5 finger death punch is fantastic. 22 veterans a day take there own life. I personally know at least 5 that have taken their own life. The message of this song needs to be out there more. 1 life is too many.
Thank you for this reaction. As a veteran (Cold War USAF 1984-1987) a lot of people take it for granted what many of us sacrificed. Even non combat veterans have issues. My room mate shot his self to escape his problems a few years back. Miss my old buddy. I myself ran into issues just last year and have just now fought my way back to reality. If anyone would have crossed me in that state of mind we both would have been gone. PTSD is real and can catch you off guard when you least think it would. I try and help all my brothers-sisters in arms when needed. All branches. If no one has your back or six I will. Salute 07
New to reaction videos, I like your videos a lot. As one of the homeless (houseless sense 2013) vets, this video just touches the wound. The real sh*t is even worse. I served from 1990 to 1998. Gulf war (Desert shield-desert storm) and 3 tours in Afghanistan .... I saw friends die right beside me. Eating a bullet is always on my mind everyday, but for the love of my family and friends and music like this .... I don't. MAD RESPECT FFDP for this video. And total respect to you King KTF for watching and reacting to this video.
Thank you Preston. It warms the heart to know that there are people that still care. People forget that it's still ok to appreciate the soldier, even if you are against war. Guaranteed that the vast majority of troops don't want war either. Just dont shit on them. 1st Cavalry Division 89 - 95.
P, if you see this, I know you're a fan of Alter Bridge. They played IN MY LIVING ROOM during the Blackbird album days. Won a radio contest called Logo in Lights. I can send you a link, crazy awesome even acoustic. POD- Southtown Stone Temple Pilots- Wicked Garden Nonpoint- Front Lines ( also Military tribute song) 12 Stones- Only Easy Day Was Yesterday (title isNavy Seal theme) - written after they visited Seal training in San Diego
Every time I watch this video I can't help but shed a tear or three especially at the end when the dude tells the vet "you saved my life, brother" more people need to be made aware of these facts and as a community help vets out when and where possible. Many thanks Preston an honest heart felt reaction as always
Gojira is a unique band, so not everyone is going to join them. However, they as a band have real talent. They're progressive as it gets, switching tempos and cadences multiple times in a song extremely smoothly. Try Flying Whales, you might like that one better.
I just don't see it lol , probably too quick to judge , to be fair you can you really rate a band without doing at least one full album at least three or four listens through so my bad. I'll check out the other band now , nice one for the tip 👍. Listening to a lot of Tesseract and Karnivool at the moment , check them out.
I have watched a lot of your reactions to songs. When you got into FFDP, I was really paying attention because as a 23 year veteran of multiple deployments, I don’t care what anyone says....their words are extremely powerful and truthful. The fact that you get it and understand is a testament. Thank you!!!!!
My father served proudly in WW2 and my brother in Vietnam and i served in the US army proudly for this great country. God bless all our veterans.Thank you Preston and i'm a fan .
Man I like the new intro. the other one, if you weren't paying attention and had your volume up loud, that dude scare the crap out of you, like he was in the room with you
When this video and song were released, I was in a very serious relationship with an army veteran. He had very severe combat related PTSD. Just seeing what he struggled withbroke my heart. He had a support system, it was a small one but it was there. I've known so many veterans, and I can't imagine not being there to help them through what they're going through. I still cry when I hear this song or watch this video
My baby girl is a Marine, fighting so we don't have to. She is without a doubt, my hero. She's my everything. She saved me from myself and suicide, twice. So, I will happily spend the rest of my life worshipping her. I'm so thankful for my dear Mariah. Thank you baby.
They are awesome in concert as well. Seen them with Bad Wolves, Bad Wolves Remember When would be good react. FFDP Jekyll and Hyde, Boots and Blood, Bad Company, Gone Away are more good songs to react
@@wrpatton8900 same here, with a band called Nothing More. Somehow, they put Bad Wolves up first. I was not happy about that. They should have been second. I'm pretty sure that BB was considered the headliner, that's why they went last.
@@shaedgirrl99 yeah, I forgot about Nothing More being there. First time seeing them and would definitely go again. Guess it was probably the same tour. We went to Burgetstown,Pa to see them
Veteran here. Thank you for the support. I've suggested this one a couple of times, lol. I feel the best thing to do is share the message in this video as much as possible. If we can bring the problem to light, maybe we can help it. Thanks again.
I'm a veteran that spent 8 years in the Army..it takes a lot to touch my heart but this song gets me every time..God bless our veterans and I pray they get the help they need..so 😭😭😭😭
Always remember this Preston: We are all brothers and sisters...and you are having an impact on bringing people together...great work, braaaah!! You've been leveled up...by me. Thanks man. Support our Veterans.
This is one of my favorite songs. My dad is in the Air Force and I try to help in any way I can to make veterans lives easier. Another great song by five finger death punch is gone away. The lyrics make me cry every time
I dont think you want to ask him to do that. Copyright issues are pretty hard with German bands. Just search for Rammstein reactions and notice that all of them are either no audio or live performance. Same for many other German bands.
The only good thing about Rammstein is their live shows. Because their music pretty primitive and straight. Reaction videos are good for songs with many layers.
Man you got a like and sub as soon as you paid a shout out to me and my brothers in arms. On behalf of my fellow warriors, people like you make the sacrifices we paid worth it. Thank you for having our backs.
@ Bryan Bellamy Thank you for your service. I too am a veteran, Army 24 yrs. I also have been deployed multiple times and i'm on the list to go again soon. I love what i do and would not change it at all. The problem with this system we have now is 3 fold. 1 st. Nobody pushes hard enough to get things changed. The public as a whole has to push back against politicians if they want to see change for our veterans. DEMAND change and tell your local, state, and federal Reps that if you will not do the will of the people then YOU ARE GONE and we will vote someone in that will do it. 2 nd. It is much cheaper to take the easy way out. Most Government officials want the cheapest solution. Yet they always vote themselves a raise but turn down a raise for the military and just give 1%-2% cost of living raise. REALLY. 3rd. The Veterans Administration is at times handcuffed by the funding that is allocated to them( a lot of the time), but in the same regard the head of Veterans affairs makes 200K a year as of 2011 and i'm sure that has gone up. Only the public can force change. Tell your local, state, and federal Reps that you DEMAND better treatment of YOUR nations Armed Forces!
Preston, this song gets me emotional too. That black man at the end was the homeless vet's comrade who saved his life, and that's why both of them tearing up!
I respect Five Finger Death Punch so much for this song and what i have heard they do for and with veterans. This is definitely in my top songs from them. I have heard this song and watched the music video so many times and it still hits me every time.
Preston thank you. My son has been proudly serving this country for the last 6 years in the Air Force. He has been deployed in the Middle East 3 times and yeah he’s “highly decorated” and his ribbon wrack is almost longer than his chest...but their f***ing medals and awards WILL NEVER SAY “I LOVE YOU MOM” to me if he is killed! Back to FFDP, if you go to their concerts before this song starts they ask ALL Active Duty and Vets of the Armed Forces to stand, then they ask the families of to stand. They brought an American flag onto the stage while performing this. I indeed bawled the whole way through. The numbers are much higher now than they were 6 years ago when this was released. But FFDP HASN’T STOPPED honoring our Service Members; check out “Gone Away”. Yes it’s a cover but they covered it for all the right reasons!
Thanks man. Hit the sands twice(Baghdad) and the mountains (Afghan). Its not often someone can share some of the emotions we feel towards a fellow vet. PTSD is a terrible thing. I encourage anyone, ANYONE, to seek help. You are more important than you could ever know.
As a Veteran of the US Air Force during Desert Shield Desert Storm, this is a heart felt video and so is their song Bad Company. Saw them in concert in PA and they did not disappoint. Going this Friday to see Shinedown and in Aug. IRON MAIDEN! Opening for Maiden is The Raven Age, an English metal band formed in London in 2009 by guitarists Dan Wright and George Harris, George is the son of Maiden's Bass player Steve Harris, Awesome! Preston, You have to watch some Volbeat which is a Danish rock band formed in Copenhagen in 2001.
Love FFDP. It is so cool how the recognize veterans. During their concerts they do it also. I am a veteran ( disabled ) . US ARMY. I am proud to have served my country. I would do it again. Thanks so much for this reaction...… PEACE
Let me just say, I am new to your channel but I have really enjoyed your commentary! I am a huge 5FDP fan!! They got their start writing songs for the military. They raise money for the vets and they honor them every chance they can. That is one reason they are my favorite band, because I really love what they stand for. The military vets are something that I fight for also, I take every opportunity I get to thank them for their service, and sacrafice! They deserve so much more!!!!
Just so you know Preston, thank you for reacting to this and shedding more light on this 🙏 I love you even more for this. When I first listened to this song and watched the video I cried, not gonna deny it. It’s so sad. *update* as I watched that last scene AGAIN I started crying. It hits me right in the feels and just kills me knowing this happens. Fucking kills me
i just want to say as a veteran myself serving 9 years in the navy as E.O.D. E-5 petty officer second class i did one tour in Iraq and that was in 2002-2003 when the war first started. thank you and this is one of my bands i have much respect for. i've gotten to meet them in person and they are one of the most great group of guys to meet. i got to hangout with them and it just blew my mind at how down to earth they are.
Every time I watch a reaction video of this song everyone is so pumped and ready to jam to the song but then they just die down as soon as it starts. That’s how powerful this song is.
I usually hold it together right until the guy recognizes the guy who saved his life sitting in and alley and he's freaking out and you can see him hollerin "YOU SAVED MY LIFE BROTHER"....instant tears man.
I served 24 years in the Army. I was destined to be a Soldier. I did serve in combat. I took many lives. I think of all of these people every single day. I pray for forgiveness. But I do love this country and the good principles our Constitution in which our country was founded. I miss my brothers and sisters that I served with. I grieve for those brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice. P - thank you for your respect and gratitude brother.
As a veteran (army 8yrs) 2 tours in Iraq. Thank you for your love and support! 5fdp is awesome they went to every base in Iraq and did a show for the troops, autographs and pictures afterwards they didn't leave until everybody got what they wanted.

They've just about tripled, and going to increase again when more military personnel finally come home.
22 suicides a day. And permanent PTSD for middle easterners who also have good civilians.
I think the current national average for the suicide rate among vets is about 22 a day.
You increase me

Keep doing what you are doing; and if you ever come to Atlanta, I want to honor you and what you're doing with a meal and a drink.
Thank you.
Thank you Preston!! And thanks to The Pack!! For doing this song man!! Next one, Five Finger - Gone Away.. I'm so happy you did this song bro!! Happy New Years to you and the fams!! I knew you'd love it.. I want everyone to come together for our soldiers!!
As just one of the multiple Vets that have posted on this, idk how much i can add
but i appreciate the support brotha
the VA can only do so much, and when we come back from overseas the transition from Soldier to civilian is brutal, especially for Combat Vets
love your content man, keep it up
5 years USMC. Thank you Sgt. Atwell & Lcpl. Byrd for sacrificing you live for are beautiful country. Always Missed never forgotten Semper Fi
As a Vet myself (6 years Army/1 tour AFG) this video has always been super hard for me to watch. I have to come back to it sometimes to help me process all the stuff inside my mind. When i saw you posted this, I figured that I would embrace this video again with this KTF Fam and I appreciate it. All the love and support in the comments for vets is a rarity on YT and I appreciate you all. Thank you for this.
Preston, another FFDP video for you is Jekyll and Hyde. I swear the song is my theme song.
Also as a15 year, multiple deployment Vet Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and Kyrgyzstan. Thank you.
9 year Navy veteran here. I love the video from 5 finger death punch. Also this video I love that you always support us veterans! It doesnt go unnoticed!
Don,t forget sad but true by metallica or harvester of sorrow
Robert Tucker
Harvester....definitely Harvester...
Retired Army vet also thanks you for your love and support, keep up the great reactions.
Kenneth King thank you for your service.
Not sure how I found you King, but the more I watch - the more I enjoy. I didn't think I would tbh. Good stuff.
Thank u from the bottom of my heart for every vet without yall we wouldn't have the freedoms we have. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
This one of my favorite videos by them!!🇺🇸❤🙏🌠✌
I wonder if he has learned how to play any songs on guitar???
Can't finish it with dry eyes.
Appreciate the respect you are giving the Veterans. I'm a 10 year Army vet, no Iraq or Afghanistan, but Kuwait and Mogadishu in my time. FFDP has quickly become one of my favorites not only the music but the support they give the veterans. Another great song for Vet's is Rise Against - Hero of War, it's quite amazing and full of feels.
And I'm going to serve in the Marines I'm 17 once I'm 18 I'm enlisting wish me luck
Good luck and be good.
Good luck, stay safe.
Please don't fight these rich man's wars.
Have you decided on an MOS?
Army vet here. One piece of advice. Don't share a foxhole with someone braver than yourself. Vet's know what I mean. As you will learn.
My you always have hot chow, cold water an a warm woobie.
There are never enough words to express how much everyone’s service in the military means to and for all of us. The first time I seen this video, I broke down bawling within the first minute. My family checked on me and they teared up as well. I still cry seeing and listening to this song, thinking of my family that’s served and is serving.
Thank you all for everything you’ve done and sacrificed for our freedom.
Love when u get excited and say hold on bruhhh
Preston, thank you for the love. 14 years in the Army. Most people do not understand the wars we still fight on a daily basis. We are rely on our brothers and sisters in arms, most people can't understand our hell. GOD bless and keep the faith.
Metallica - Hit The Lights
The Cranberries - Zombie
Zombie...why the hell does everyone like zombie?
@@Jim87_36 Dude.....the most annoying singer I ever heard. Totally agree with you
James Lucke listen to Zombie by bad wolfs tribute to lead singer of cranberries sooooo much better than original version
Thank you for showing compassion and support for all my brothers and sisters in the military. 13years I served myself.
Five finger death punch- lift me up!!!!
It's true, this is one of their best songs. Everything about it is just perfect. And with the video, I get goosebumbs as well every single time I watch it. Great reaction video once again man!
You got good heart bro, my grandfather served in Korean War.
On behalf of my brothers and sisters, active and retired US soldiers and also the 35th engineers and the Big Red One who I served with for 13 years and three tours thank you for acknowledging Five Finger Death Punch, this song and the video that touches all of us every time we hear it. Keep doing what you're doing we all love watching your Channel and thank you
5FDP- Under and Over it
From a 10th Mountain Division veteran, thank you for your reaction, your appreciation, your humanity. It's a beautiful thing.
Listen to Coming Down by them.
thank you for not interrupting it too much. and for listening to a powerful song with a powerful video. this song brings me to tears every damned time. if i might suggest from five finger death punch "remember everything" or their cover of "gone away"
Check out their cover of Bad Company
Yessss
It’s a great cover
@@dougf1249 it blows the original out of the water
Thanks for the support (11years US Army) 5 finger death punch is fantastic. 22 veterans a day take there own life. I personally know at least 5 that have taken their own life. The message of this song needs to be out there more. 1 life is too many.
Metallica - Bleeding Me
I agree this should be next
Agreed
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this reaction. As a veteran (Cold War USAF 1984-1987) a lot of people take it for granted what many of us sacrificed. Even non combat veterans have issues. My room mate shot his self to escape his problems a few years back. Miss my old buddy. I myself ran into issues just last year and have just now fought my way back to reality. If anyone would have crossed me in that state of mind we both would have been gone. PTSD is real and can catch you off guard when you least think it would. I try and help all my brothers-sisters in arms when needed. All branches. If no one has your back or six I will. Salute 07
Buckethead - Soothsayer
New to reaction videos, I like your videos a lot.
As one of the homeless (houseless sense 2013) vets, this video just touches the wound. The real sh*t is even worse. I served from 1990 to 1998. Gulf war (Desert shield-desert storm) and 3 tours in Afghanistan .... I saw friends die right beside me. Eating a bullet is always on my mind everyday, but for the love of my family and friends and music like this .... I don't. MAD RESPECT FFDP for this video.
And total respect to you King KTF for watching and reacting to this video.
react to five finger death punch - the bleeding, thats the song that got me into ffdp.
Agent 47 same here
Yesss!!!
Thank you Preston. It warms the heart to know that there are people that still care. People forget that it's still ok to appreciate the soldier, even if you are against war. Guaranteed that the vast majority of troops don't want war either. Just dont shit on them.
1st Cavalry Division 89 - 95.
Wow, never been this early on comments!
Sevendust- Face to Face
12 Stones- Broken
Saliva- Ladies and Gentlemen
P, if you see this, I know you're a fan of Alter Bridge. They played IN MY LIVING ROOM during the Blackbird album days. Won a radio contest called Logo in Lights. I can send you a link, crazy awesome even acoustic.
POD- Southtown
Stone Temple Pilots- Wicked Garden
Nonpoint- Front Lines ( also Military tribute song)
12 Stones- Only Easy Day Was Yesterday (title isNavy Seal theme) - written after they visited Seal training in San Diego
Good choice on Saliva
Every time I watch this video I can't help but shed a tear or three especially at the end when the dude tells the vet "you saved my life, brother" more people need to be made aware of these facts and as a community help vets out when and where possible. Many thanks Preston an honest heart felt reaction as always
Gojira - The Heaviest Matter of the universe bruuuuuh
Seconded
Utter shit ! One dimensional chug along with flat vocals. Saw your comment and thought "I'll check them out" , seriously piss poor gents 👎👎👎👎
Gojira is a unique band, so not everyone is going to join them. However, they as a band have real talent. They're progressive as it gets, switching tempos and cadences multiple times in a song extremely smoothly. Try Flying Whales, you might like that one better.
I just don't see it lol , probably too quick to judge , to be fair you can you really rate a band without doing at least one full album at least three or four listens through so my bad. I'll check out the other band now , nice one for the tip 👍. Listening to a lot of Tesseract and Karnivool at the moment , check them out.
I have watched a lot of your reactions to songs. When you got into FFDP, I was really paying attention because as a 23 year veteran of multiple deployments, I don’t care what anyone says....their words are extremely powerful and truthful. The fact that you get it and understand is a testament. Thank you!!!!!
Bro you gotta do Coming Down by 5FDP next.
My father served proudly in WW2 and my brother in Vietnam and i served in the US army proudly for this great country. God bless all our veterans.Thank you Preston and i'm a fan .
Did you notice that the business man that helps the homeless vet is the same soldier the homeless vet helps get out when he's injured. Fkn deep bro.
Ya it got me when he said its Jacoby and you saved my life brother. Fcked me up first time I saw this video.
And the cop that arrests is one of them too. Skinny guy arrested angry guy. Black dude helped the bearded guy.
As a veteran of the usmc with 2 tours in Afghanistan, I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you doing this video. I love your channel bro.
Man I like the new intro. the other one, if you weren't paying attention and had your volume up loud, that dude scare the crap out of you, like he was in the room with you
When this video and song were released, I was in a very serious relationship with an army veteran. He had very severe combat related PTSD. Just seeing what he struggled withbroke my heart. He had a support system, it was a small one but it was there. I've known so many veterans, and I can't imagine not being there to help them through what they're going through. I still cry when I hear this song or watch this video
Brooks & Dunn - Believe (Music Video)
Kodaline - Brother (Music Video)
Eminem - Re-Up (ft. 50 Cent)
My baby girl is a Marine, fighting so we don't have to. She is without a doubt, my hero. She's my everything. She saved me from myself and suicide, twice. So, I will happily spend the rest of my life worshipping her. I'm so thankful for my dear Mariah. Thank you baby.
They are awesome in concert as well. Seen them with Bad Wolves, Bad Wolves Remember When would be good react. FFDP Jekyll and Hyde, Boots and Blood, Bad Company, Gone Away are more good songs to react
I saw them this year too, with Bad Wolves, and damn, they put on a hell of a show! One of the best I've been to in a while.
@@shaedgirrl99 They were with Bad Wolves and Breaking Benjamin when I seen them and what's weird, BB played last.
@@wrpatton8900 same here, with a band called Nothing More. Somehow, they put Bad Wolves up first. I was not happy about that. They should have been second. I'm pretty sure that BB was considered the headliner, that's why they went last.
@@shaedgirrl99 yeah, I forgot about Nothing More being there. First time seeing them and would definitely go again. Guess it was probably the same tour. We went to Burgetstown,Pa to see them
@@wrpatton8900 we were at the same show, sir. Aug 14. Small world it is.
dude you should listen to hero of war by rise against
Glad to see someone else bumping this song up, such a great song.
I was going to comment this!
Veteran here. Thank you for the support. I've suggested this one a couple of times, lol. I feel the best thing to do is share the message in this video as much as possible. If we can bring the problem to light, maybe we can help it. Thanks again.
First creeping death Metallica and Cliff Burton bass solo anesthesia braaaaaaaaa
Yes he did all instrumentals except anastesia :(
I been asking for Creeping Death for a hot minute now lol.
creeping death 1991 Moscow of course
I'm a veteran that spent 8 years in the Army..it takes a lot to touch my heart but this song gets me every time..God bless our veterans and I pray they get the help they need..so 😭😭😭😭
React to FFDP -"Gone Away" its truly a Masterpiece with a big M
Two of my young men are headed for basic on Monday, and one more in February - Marines. I cried during this video. Thank you for your respect.
Rise Against - Survive
Always remember this Preston: We are all brothers and sisters...and you are having an impact on bringing people together...great work, braaaah!! You've been leveled up...by me. Thanks man. Support our Veterans.
React to the songs "When seasons change and "coming down"
Bro, i appreciate how genuine you are in what you speak. It cast a light on your character. For real
Check out the song 'Gone Away' by Five Finger Death punch...its also about war..get your Kleenex ready for that 1 too 😢
Love their version so much better than Offspring
Its not about war its about dexter hollands girlfriend dying in a car crash and is way better than this version. Doesn't even compare tbh
@@DEEM0N1 Agreed.
DEEM0N1 That is why we have this thing called opinions. It means that neither of you is wrong to think that they prefer one version over the other.
You mean their "cover" of the awesome song by the Offspring ? It's on the list of top 25 worst rock covers of all time. 😐
As an OIF Veteran, we appreciate your support bro!
Static X bro
Hell yea
Push It!
Destroyer w/video.
I've been sayinnnn it! Static-X The Only! Everyone does Push It, and its so short, but still amazing... wouldnt be upset about it hahaha
RIP Wayne
Thank you for your support! A pleasure to serve for citizens like your self !
Check out Avatar - Bloody Angel 😊
Hear hear
You totally got this video I am a vet with ptsd and spent five years on the streets facts in the video are spot on great reaction
We need to prioritize who we help. Veterans should be higher on the list than illegals, for example.
This is one of my favorite songs. My dad is in the Air Force and I try to help in any way I can to make veterans lives easier. Another great song by five finger death punch is gone away. The lyrics make me cry every time
Hey Preston! Can you please react to Rammstein - Du Hast ?
I dont think you want to ask him to do that. Copyright issues are pretty hard with German bands. Just search for Rammstein reactions and notice that all of them are either no audio or live performance. Same for many other German bands.
The only good thing about Rammstein is their live shows. Because their music pretty primitive and straight. Reaction videos are good for songs with many layers.
Соболев Дмитрий You probably have never listened to more than 5 songs.
Man you got a like and sub as soon as you paid a shout out to me and my brothers in arms. On behalf of my fellow warriors, people like you make the sacrifices we paid worth it. Thank you for having our backs.
@ Bryan Bellamy Thank you for your service. I too am a veteran, Army 24 yrs. I also have been deployed multiple times and i'm on the list to go again soon. I love what i do and would not change it at all. The problem with this system we have now is 3 fold. 1 st. Nobody pushes hard enough to get things changed. The public as a whole has to push back against politicians if they want to see change for our veterans. DEMAND change and tell your local, state, and federal Reps that if you will not do the will of the people then YOU ARE GONE and we will vote someone in that will do it. 2 nd. It is much cheaper to take the easy way out. Most Government officials want the cheapest solution. Yet they always vote themselves a raise but turn down a raise for the military and just give 1%-2% cost of living raise. REALLY. 3rd. The Veterans Administration is at times handcuffed by the funding that is allocated to them( a lot of the time), but in the same regard the head of Veterans affairs makes 200K a year as of 2011 and i'm sure that has gone up. Only the public can force change. Tell your local, state, and federal Reps that you DEMAND better treatment of YOUR nations Armed Forces!
Preston, this song gets me emotional too. That black man at the end was the homeless vet's comrade who saved his life, and that's why both of them tearing up!
Preston, did you react to their cover of Gone Away yet? It is also another video tribute to military.
I respect Five Finger Death Punch so much for this song and what i have heard they do for and with veterans. This is definitely in my top songs from them. I have heard this song and watched the music video so many times and it still hits me every time.
hey man, your reaction videos are the best on RUclips! You're so genuine, likeable and chill to watch. Keep em' coming !
Wow! I've never listened to 5 finger death punch. You've opened me up to so many genres of music by following & watching your videos. Thank you
Preston thank you. My son has been proudly serving this country for the last 6 years in the Air Force. He has been deployed in the Middle East 3 times and yeah he’s “highly decorated” and his ribbon wrack is almost longer than his chest...but their f***ing medals and awards WILL NEVER SAY “I LOVE YOU MOM” to me if he is killed!
Back to FFDP, if you go to their concerts before this song starts they ask ALL Active Duty and Vets of the Armed Forces to stand, then they ask the families of to stand. They brought an American flag onto the stage while performing this. I indeed bawled the whole way through. The numbers are much higher now than they were 6 years ago when this was released. But FFDP HASN’T STOPPED honoring our Service Members; check out “Gone Away”. Yes it’s a cover but they covered it for all the right reasons!
Thanks man. Hit the sands twice(Baghdad) and the mountains (Afghan). Its not often someone can share some of the emotions we feel towards a fellow vet. PTSD is a terrible thing. I encourage anyone, ANYONE, to seek help. You are more important than you could ever know.
As a Veteran of the US Air Force during Desert Shield Desert Storm, this is a heart felt video and so is their song Bad Company. Saw them in concert in PA and they did not disappoint. Going this Friday to see Shinedown and in Aug. IRON MAIDEN! Opening for Maiden is The Raven Age, an English metal band formed in London in 2009 by guitarists Dan Wright and George Harris, George is the son of Maiden's Bass player Steve Harris, Awesome! Preston, You have to watch some Volbeat which is a Danish rock band formed in Copenhagen in 2001.
Love FFDP. It is so cool how the recognize veterans. During their concerts they do it also. I am a veteran ( disabled ) . US ARMY. I am proud to have served my country. I would do it again. Thanks so much for this reaction...… PEACE
Let me just say, I am new to your channel but I have really enjoyed your commentary!
I am a huge 5FDP fan!! They got their start writing songs for the military. They raise money for the vets and they honor them every chance they can. That is one reason they are my favorite band, because I really love what they stand for. The military vets are something that I fight for also, I take every opportunity I get to thank them for their service, and sacrafice! They deserve so much more!!!!
Just so you know Preston, thank you for reacting to this and shedding more light on this 🙏 I love you even more for this. When I first listened to this song and watched the video I cried, not gonna deny it. It’s so sad.
*update* as I watched that last scene AGAIN I started crying. It hits me right in the feels and just kills me knowing this happens. Fucking kills me
i just want to say as a veteran myself serving 9 years in the navy as E.O.D. E-5 petty officer second class i did one tour in Iraq and that was in 2002-2003 when the war first started. thank you and this is one of my bands i have much respect for. i've gotten to meet them in person and they are one of the most great group of guys to meet. i got to hangout with them and it just blew my mind at how down to earth they are.
Every time I watch a reaction video of this song everyone is so pumped and ready to jam to the song but then they just die down as soon as it starts. That’s how powerful this song is.
I usually hold it together right until the guy recognizes the guy who saved his life sitting in and alley and he's freaking out and you can see him hollerin "YOU SAVED MY LIFE BROTHER"....instant tears man.
I served 24 years in the Army. I was destined to be a Soldier. I did serve in combat. I took many lives. I think of all of these people every single day. I pray for forgiveness. But I do love this country and the good principles our Constitution in which our country was founded. I miss my brothers and sisters that I served with. I grieve for those brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice. P - thank you for your respect and gratitude brother.
