The singer from Five Finger Death Punch wears a set of Military dog tags that was given to him on one of there USO tours.
The soldier who wore them before was in an ambush in I think Iraq, and afterwards, they ended up finding his MP3 player and it had Five Finger Death Punch on it.
The singer never takes these off when they are on tour.
This band is amazing.
I heard they were all vets themselves
Robert Ihme they are at least I know Ivan Moody is
Deusdemo Silence
That’s so sad man ☹️
Random Internet Guy yes but atleast he doesn’t do it for his own glory
As someone who went to their recent concert I can back this up, I spotted these dog tags, he also sang this song at the concert, he even got a little teared up
This band has brought so much positivity that people overlook so much
"You know me! You saved my life brother." Makes me cry every time. Powerful stuff for sure.
I personally always thought that he said "It's Jacoby, you saved my life brother"
Me too. Watched and listened to this so many times. But I still cry every time.
That's something that can, probably, work either way.
Dido
That's a very emotional end. Tears are difficult to hide watching it. 🙈
Yes. I can imagine.
I was a homeless vet.
Only recently housed.
Every time I see this it kills me and brings the tears for me.
5 years in the Navy.
1983 to 1988, technically "peacetime."
And yet, I was an East coast vet, Carleston SC, and we transited the Panama Canal, and patrolled the waters off the Pacific coast of El Salvador in Central America during that conflict for 6 weeks.
We had a bird on board, which went out, loaded with ammo, and came back empty, so he or they were definitely engaging someone.
But our government never declared it a war, rather it remained a conflict, so no benefits came our way for that conflict unless it gets officially declared a war.
34 years ago, dood, so been a minute.
Oh. My ship was the Spruance class destroyer USS DEYO (DD-989) from 1983 to 1986.
(Pronounced DAY-oh and that song was our pulling away song, played at top volume.
Away from the pier getting underway {haze gray and underway}, or from underway replenishments.)
From 1986 to 1988, my ship was the USS AYLWIN (FF1081), a Knox class Fast Frigate.
Older than Deyo and more of a tin can.
Deyo had twin screws and could max out about 32 knots.
Aylwin (pronounced ALL win) was a single screw and was much less fast. 25 knots maybe.
And a noisy noisy boat at speed.
Deyo was at least quiet.
Deyo was one of the first ships to have Tomahawk missile box launchers dropped on the forecastle deck, right on either side of our ASROC missile launcher.
4 Tomahawk missiles in each deck mounted launcher.
Capable of supporting nukes, but no one could say if or when we had any on board.
Deyo went out without me, after I changed ships (so I could be there when my son was born) and at one point launched a Tomahawk.
It buckled the deck.
Just the one Tomahawk.
That much thrust leaving the launcher.
While we were in the yards in Portland Maine for a year and a half for that particular refit, no one thought that the deck underneath the launchers might need structural reinforcements.
While we were still in drydock.
So, they went back into the yards again and, either fixed the deck and went back out to sea on the Med cruise, or they pulled both the Tomahawk launchers AND the ASROC missile launcher and installed vertical launchers below deck instead.
That could launch 61 Tomahawks instead.
Oh...and technically...with the Tomahawk addition, we became a guided missile destroyer.
Because Tomahawks are guided missiles.
Not sure if the hull number ever reflected the change to DDG-989 but it should have.
The Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers replaced both the entire fleet of Spruance class destroyers AND heavy guided missile cruisers.
Arleigh Burkes are destroyers that have heavy cruiser armament AND Tomahawk VLS guided missile technology.
Both boats had Phalanx CIWS radar controlled Gatling guns that could fire 3,000 rounds per second.
Deyo had two.
I think Aylwin had one. (Only one ship class did not carry them actually.)
Arleigh Burkes have three.
Good for shooting down enemy aircraft and missiles before they can hit your ship.
Gunfire was so fast you'd here a Bbrrrrp noise, really quickly, and somewhere a missile just vanished into thin air.
Or small, missile-carrying planes.
Anyway.
I got out in 1988 and, 8 years later in Keene, NH, my wife divorced me and got full primary physical custody of our son.
I had secondary and very limited visitation.
4 hours one weekend day of his choice every other week or so.
I had anger management issues back in the day.
Drove her to divorce me.
I would have divorced me, if I'm being honest.
But it was still devastating for me.
Have not seen my son since 2004.
All the military's fault?
Well it aggravated the issues already present.
Did not get my Clinical Depression diagnosed and addressed, and treatment regimen started, until 1999...11 years after my service concluded.
Treating my ADD as well.
Anger Management issues are pretty much nonexistent now.
So this video hits home for me.
Hard.
Everytime.
And even when you're officially out of the military, once you join the family, you're never totally out.
Sailor for life.
I volunteered, signed the dotted line, and I would still die for any and all of you, so you could live.
Take a bullet or whatever.
It was the job.
Never stops being the job.
Or my life.
toddvandell85 thank you for your service!!!It is just injustice that veterans aren’t appreciated enough,like I know life is not suppose to be fair but this goes way past that line!When I think of life not being fair I think someone getting a burger for free and you still have to pay for yours,not a fucking veteran being homeless after all the service he has done,thanks bro!!!God bless you bro
Thanks for your service man
Thank you for your service Sir
military have it hard
Sir -- from one Navy vet to another: Your story hit me hard. Straight in the feels...and as I've said elsewhere, if I could give anything outside of what I truly need to live on, I would give it and not think twice. Brothers in arms like you is why I honor any vet I come across -- because it is well-deserved, and it seems like people never do enough for those who would give their lives for the liberties and freedoms everyone enjoys.
Be well, brother.
Thank you, I am x-air force, my sister and father are x-navy. Thank you for your service.
That part near the end when "Jacoby" finds his squad leader in the streets and mouths "You saved my life, brother." and then the realization hits in; it always gets me every time.
I never cry unless I watch this video.
The ending scene always gets me.
“You know me, you saved my life brother”
I always thought he said his name "Jacoby", thus the clear visibility of his name patch when he gets shot.
I didn't know he said that. So are you saying the guy in the suit at the end and the guy that was homeless guy with the beard wear apart of the same group in the military?
@@hazardgaminghg122 the homeless guy is the bearded soldier, the guy in the suit is the soldier that got shot.
I always thought he said "you saved my life back there."
Looks like 'My turn now. It's okay' after.
I saw these guys live and they put on a great show. After the concert they went to one of the local bars to hang out with everyone. Awesome dudes.
SoIoCreep No wonder they went to a bar. We all know Ivan likes himself a drink
Uh, Maynard hides behind the drummer the entire show..
SoIoCreep it's sad ivan left FFDP tho
@@lucifersrevenge2979 ?
Saw them in Dallas along with Breaking Benjamin, Nothing More, and Bad Wolves, it was glorious
Ninjas cutting onions every single time.
doug maurer those Ninja's are like a camouflage condom, you can't see them coming
@@karlsmith2570 oh God damn it
Karl Smith ohmygod 😂😂😂
At the end, the guy that helped the veteran up, was Jacoby from his unit when he was shot in the chest. His words were, "It's Jacoby. You saved my life, BROTHER." Once military, always military. And always FAMILY!!!!
gets me every time.
Absolutely
Jacoby recognized his brother from his unit and reached out to him
It gets to me pretty hard too
Amazing
Definitely. My father is a 12 year army vet. I go to reunions with him and am in aw by their brotherhood is amazing
One of the biggest thing about being Active Duty is the amount of time spent away from family. I know a few homeless vets and myself being active duty, it gave me a bigger understanding of how much it hurts. Family is one of the biggest supporters of active and retired
My eyes were watering a lot when I first saw this. F'ing allergies, ya know?
Ninjas cutting onions mate
Same
you don't want to see my mom
Your not the only one i remember when i first saw/heard this i cried like a baby, listened to it so many times and i still get a tears in the corner of my eye.
Literally every time I've seen this I've teared up 😥😁
Dude, this song drop-kicks you square in the feels and doesn't let up until you're in tears. It's an atrocity, what our vets endure these days. I'm so glad you got to enjoy this. The music is like a juxtaposition of sadness and rage that the soldier is feeling, the sense of abandonment that seethes. Loved watching your reaction, and you have a new sub.
Storm Angelus that's the Damn truth
Storm Angeles And this Navy vet thanks you for your words.
We need more people to hear this and get fucking pissed off! It is a straight up atrocity, what is going on! I'm a vet, and I wish I could give something -- anything -- to help. My own brother, before he got married, used to suffer bad PTSD -- bad enough that he would shout orders in his sleep. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
And...if we can't straighten the damn VA up, what sense does it make to try the socialized health care crap?? Sorry about mentioning it, but I feel one is tied to the other -- and if we can't take care of those who literally risk life and limb, then what does that say about our priorities as a nation? Makes me feel like a fucking hypocrite, because I'm barely surviving as it is, and can't do anything to help those who need it. It's downright fucking frustrating....
@@isaiahwelch8066 I feel what you feel. I tried to join but I was diagnosed with a chronic mental illness and that disqualified me. I was so sad and bitter for so long. I wanted to fight to protect my people and because my damn genetics I couldn't. Eventually I came to understand that I would have been a liability in the field and that they were better off without me. It still makes me sad that I couldn't join. But I do all I can to help the veterans around me, whether it is a small act of kindness or a monetary donation. I'm so sickened by the fact that they are treated like they are disposable, because they are worth soo much more. I just hope one day we can change the laws and give them what they deserve to be happy and healthy
@@WhatsUpFridayHowl : Thank you for your kindness! I am glad that there are those, like you, who do what you can, where you can.
And since you tried to serve, but were disqualified, I'm going to make you an honorary Sailor (since you didn't mention what branch you attempted to join). I myself served in the US Navy.
First time my dad watched this, he cried...HE NEVER CRIES, that made my head spin, for context my dad was in the Army, but he was in the army during peacetime, so I understand why he cried
Not even taking into account issues like the emotional and physical scars soldiers carry home with them from combat...
Most servicemembers enlist (or receive their commission) right out of school. High school, college, whichever. They go straight from living with mom and dad, or maybe in a school dormitory, to military life.
If you get sick, or get hurt, you go to sick call. They see you, they treat you, they give you medications if necessary, you go home. No forms, no bills, it's just taken care of.
If you're single, you live in a barracks room. No rent, no water bill, no electric bill, basic furniture is provided to you. If something breaks, you report it and it gets fixed. If you're married, they give you a house to live in; same deal. If no barracks or housing are available, you get extra pay to cover the average cost of living to rent in that area.
You're provided 3 full meals a deal, 7 days a week, for free. You can choose to buy food elsewhere, but that's up to you. If a dining hall isn't available to you, you get extra pay to cover the cost of food each month.
Depending on your service, you either choose or are assigned a job when you join up. Experience is not necessary and training is included, during which you receive full pay for your rank. If any additional skills are required to perform your duties, you receive training for those as well. No cost to you.
You're issued uniforms to cover day-to-day duties, formal occasions, and physical training. You're told which to wear, when. You receive additional pay periodically to cover their upkeep and replacement.
The military provides all the gear you need for your job, up to and including multi-million dollar equipment. You sign for it. If you lose or break one of those items, unless it was the result of something ridiculously inept which you did, your only punishment will be a firm talking to.
If you get married, or have children, you get additional pay each month to help cover the costs of your dependents. As well as full medical, dental, and housing benefits for them, at no cost to you.
You are surrounded, day and night, by people who have taken the same oath as you have, gone through the same things that you have, and even if you don't get along with some them in day-to-day life, people who would quite literally die for you. It's a support network which simply doesn't exist, and couldn't exist, in the civilian sector.
When those soldiers, and airmen, and sailors, and Marines, then decide to separate from the armed forces they often experience a culture shock they quite simply aren't prepared for. These are people who have never had to write a resume, nor worry about things like rent or utilities. Who have never had the threat of being fired or laid off from a job, nor had to deal with medical bills (even with civilian insurance). They've lived their entire lives thus far knowing that if they ran out of money a week before payday, the mess hall was still dishing out free food and one of their buddies would be able to cover the drinks that weekend. They've been trained to make split-second decisions which could mean life or death, but nobody has ever taught them how to actually live in the regular world.
Throw in the immense personal pride and self-sufficiency they were taught to exude in the armed forces, and it's no wonder at all that so many end up divorced, or on the streets, or dead by their own hands. Six hours of "separation training" doesn't exactly cover it all.
You make SUCH AN AMAZING point!!! Well done!
i love our military and feel proud to have these brave military service men and woman protecting us but i feel ashamed for our country when we just cast aside these people when they complete their service, and that we also treat them horribly because they suffer from PTSD we have failed them when they have sacrificed so much for us and we havent even done anything to help integrate them back into civilian life
You make such excellent points. Yes war veterans return as broken people, outside they may radiate pride for they served their nation , but more than half of them suffer some form of trauma.
Sir, I’m Active Duty Military you make my day and people I work with days constantly. Because watching makes me think and feel like you truly understand how it feels. Look up My Nemesis, When the seasons change and I Apologize.... take care sir god bless! Continue to do what you do.
PUNISHMENT365 thank you for serving the country and may you be safe when u get deployed
Makayla Kurtz thank you so much, don’t hear that much anymore with everything going on in the world, god bless. It’s for people like you why I do this.
I can understand it can be rough, I had a great grandpa who was a spy and bomber in WW 2 and a grandpa who was in the Vietnam war to be a doctor and he got lucky the vehicle he was originally supposed to be in got hit with something can't remember what it was and was blow to hell and he felt bad and felt like he got lucky because they had to hold him back for a few minutes because of a medical thing he had. I give respect to all people in military because you risk your lives and you guys leave behind family and you font know if you will see them again so we can be safe.
PUNISHMENT365 thank you for your service I hope you make it home safely also those my favorite songs
Makayla Kurtz my great grandpa served in WWII. Sadly he passed away in 2002 in a damn nursing home. He rests in one of illinois' most haunted cemeteries. He's at resurrection Mary. When I finally get my own vehicle and the money I'm going to go see him. If possible stay the night. He was my idol and a huge role model.
At 7:24 the guy says “you saved my life brother” quite touching
I thought so.
YEP! And i REALLY hope ever one who watchs this Sees it, knows it and understand it...... Every lil thing in this seems to all have a meaning and in the end i REALLY DO hope they put it together!! Plus and i cant forget this, having a band, who started leaning towards lots of Military things, like their song, Gone Away!
That's because you're the uniform. Not the color of your skin. You train with these guys eat with them work with them. Bunk with them. You develop a bond that's family.
Touching indeed, hits the feels
Shit...
My dad is a 12 year army vet. I'm a 16 year Navy vet. I watched him with his brothers from his time in Korea and I was in aww every time. I am always teary eyed when I hear this song. I got to meet the lead singer and I gave him one of my fathers dog tags I got when he passed. He sang this song live and I cried as I sang along to it fully hearted. I will never forget being able to give this incredible man a hug and saying thank you for bringing me and my father a little closer. Thank you FFDP for honoring my brothers and sisters and the ones who came before us
Their lead guitarist Jason hook and my dad grew up together
Toronto area?
Jason is my future husband 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃😉
@@amberwilson5168 I’m gonna change my name to jason
I cry every single time. Proud wife of a Marine Sniper(hoo-rah). IDK how he exist. My husband's mind is strong. It has to be. He's here and he knows he did what he had to do. Can't wrap my head around it.
So much respect for our Military Brothers and Sisters. Respect for 5FDP. They're picking up the pieces where we as a country have failed.
Proud to be a Knucklehead!
Respect to your husband and his Service. God bless you and your family.
Much respect to your husband for doing one of the hardest jobs ever.
I'm a Navy veteran, my brother and uncle are Marines, and my grandfather is Army.
All I can say is, if your husband ever needs you because he needs you, don't turn and walk away -- because he is only looking for someone to carry him the way he has carried others. I say this because it is a sad state of affairs when vets carry the country by wearing the uniform, yet when they come home? Nobody is willing to carry them because of something that happened that is directly related to their service.
Thanks for his service/your service!
I salute you! I am proud of your husband too, miss!
I like how you do your research about the song's background before listening.
Thank you... from an unappreciated vet.
You are very much appreciated sir. Thank you for your service, and may God bless
As a vets daughter you are appreciated and loved!
We appreciate you, and love and we the people of this nation will me forever in debt to you for your sacrifice. I wish all veterans that come across this a successful and fulfilling life, because you earned it.
LithiumProductions From the grand child of an unappreciated vet; who never got to say hello let alone this.... thank you
I appreciate everything you’ve done!
"You saved my life, brother."
I'm always crying when I hear this song... it's so damn emotional... beautiful. Just beautiful
So is gone away
me allso
@Alex Hefner Vet here. Afgha '07-'08. Thank you for reacting to this song. It deserves more attention. The public needs to know about us, we who fought and came back broken. My respects to you for going out of your comfort zone in terms of music.
i've been hounding one of the radio stations in my area to play it but they won't, instead its the same motherf****** god damn justin beiber song. and hats off to you sir for protecting our nation, i tried but i was 4f
Thank you, Eric. Don't feel bad for not serving if that's what you meant. Be happy you didn't, for your own good, for your family's good. I'm not American by the way. I hail from Denmark.
regardless if its the U.S or Denmark, you sir did your part in protecting your country and our world. and as for not serving, advance arthritis in left knee, neck, right elbow and the grand part its in my L1 through L4 at 22 years old i move like i'm 80. the pain is some days unbearable (hence 4f). as well as i always thought that i'd be content going out for something then my life now being unable to do anything, i'd rather be in a father or mothers place so they can get to see their family then my meaningless life. until such a time is needed and i hope it never comes to it, i'll be stuck working in a damn kitchen
SargonnasIncarnate 👍🏻❤️💪🏻
SargonnasIncarnate thank you for your service protecting our freedom. I salute you sir. Greetings from Switzerland
"Just very powerful stuff" welcome into metal, the lyrics are the reason I got into metal when I was 6
Marwin Talens me too!
Lianne 22 biker nice!
Metal has the best and most relatable lyrics. That's why I like it too
Many lyrics in metal are very poetic when you look into them. I love it when others notice that.
Marwin Talens i was raised into it
i didn't realise they support veterans and make songs for veterans. god bless them
5FDP does a lot of work helping our Veterans. They’re respectable guys who truly care about those who give us their all.
You should listen to more five finger death punch these guys are HUGE supporters of our troops and a lot of their songs are based on the military such as "no one gets left behind" or "got your six"
Remenber Everything too!!
this band is amazing, their lyrics, their message...
j.lucas pereira yeah their music is very incredible all of their songs are just down right amazing in the stories they tell definitely one of the greats
Daniel Silva got ur six *
Yung TableStool oops didn't catch that
j.lucas pereira their message is awesome, but the lyrics get really dry and boring after a few songs ^^ like I get what they try to bring across, but would enjoy it way more if it was put in a more complex form.
This video always makes me tear up. Every. Single. Time.
Chris Brown I’m with you on that one man
Same. Every time
Same!
This one will hit me hard every time too, coming down is another one that will make me cry like a small child every time.
Chris Brown i get chills from this song. It takes really good lyrics to do that me.
I met the lead singer of Five Finger one day.
I just cried. He hugged me and I cried. This song is just...there aren't words.
As a vet, this song and this video just put a visual and audio representation of part of my soul.
Thank you for your service. 💯💪
With how much he reacts to Metal, I feel like he should be Metal head not Hip-Hop Head.
But he GREW UP as a HipHop Head. Children are very impressionable.
Finally someone says it
Five Finger Death Punch also did a heart wrenching cover of Gone Away by The Offspring. You should check it out.
definitely
Gone Away is one of my favorite songs, and Five Finger Death Punch knocked their cover of that song out of the fucking park. I have listened to their cover as often as I have listened to the original.
That video made my mom cry hardcore
Love gone away by five finger death punch
Scott was right that cover was trash. Try to spin my words as y'all will but the original can't be beat and it's not meant to be played in the style they played it in
Five finger death punch - the bleeding, the song that got me into ffdp
Jordan Ring same!
Been screaming this for weeks.
You know whats cool? There is a cool Bruce Willis movie, "The last boy scout". His daugther in movie is actress in video for the bleeding.
Same.
Naw bruh way of the fist
As a veteran who has had to deal with the issues of PTSD and homelessness this song hits very hard and very close to home for me. The support that ffdp shows towards vets is phenomenal.
It’s said many times, but these are not just words when I say thank you for your service. I, and countless others, are unknowingly indebted to you. How have you been holding up man?
Thank you for your service, I hope all is well with you.
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE from Spain with love.
Thank you for the support all us veterans are very appreciative of the support we reciece from home
As a veteran, I've got your six
My little brother went to Iraq 10 years ago, he went over a kid, came back a completely different person. He struggled for 7 years to get help through the VA and all they told him was "things like this happen to soldiers". My brother thankfully met his wife, after coming back and they now have a beautiful little boy. He turned out ok, it's just terrible that most vets don't get so lucky. 5FDP is amazing for showcasing the facts of vets in this country. Love your reaction to this video.
Before I watched the music video i thought that this was a bad ass song. Then I watched the video and I starting crying.
Midnight Wolf right in the feels man. This song along with a few others of theirs choke me up.
Midnight Wolf same bro this song makes me cry everytime...
Midnight Wolf oh stop being so dramatic lol
Todd Stone lmao
As a vet also It is always hard for me to watch this video. I love the song. They are also amazing in concert. They take care of the troops even back in the states.
Thank you for putting this video out. I’m a Vet Afghanistan ‘10. People need to know these messages more and clearer. Thank you again.
68w here and there's been talks we will be deployed soon. Is there any way we could somehow get in contact?
Ryder21 hell yeah. 12N done 12 years got out cause of med issues.
USN here. Did my second tour in 2010 off the coast of Afghanistan from Jan to March. Hope our aircraft carrier was able to help ya'll out.
Thank you for your service man, all of us are proud to be an American, our veterans deserve more than they get. We citizens may never even come close to knowing how you feel but just know there is always someone that will appreciate what you go through for our freedom, life is a roller coaster of emotions and moral ambiguity but its always a good thing to stand up for what you believe in, and I can say that I am proud to be an American and I'm very appreciative to our U.S. military, thank you and God bless America
Thank you for your service and may God bless
My boss has PTSD and has served 2 tours in Afghanistan and 1 tour in Iraq. Just going places with him I can see how much it has affected him and that has not halted but in a sense halted his emotions and ethics in being at peace. Loud noises sets him off. Something as little as a door closing to hard. Thankyou for listening to this and sharing it to the ones that need to know the sacrifices and hardships even after you arent serving.
I am so glad someone made a video about these guys. They are amazing and deserve a lot of credit.
Someone else hyped for there new album And Justice For None that drops tomorrow
Mr. Floxxer fuck yeah I'm super excited
🤘
Tomorrow is a good day! Getting the new 5fdp album and buying Slayer tickers🤘🤘🤘
jop \m/
I can't wait!
Fun fact: Most of the members of FFDP are ex-military.
That's whY my dad loves them because he is ex military
This would explain the reasons why they're addressing these issues in this song and their cover of The Offspring's song "Gone Away"
As a veteran this band truly means something to me. I LOVE these guys, and this frickin video! Even knowing what is coming I get all teared up watching this. The part when the guy in the suit tells the homeless guy "You know me ... you saved my life brother!" ~~ Done, tears ~~ TY for reacting and caring!!
This song always brings me to tears especially the ending part
Not only does this song always give me goosebumps let alone all of 5FDP's songs but the messages a lot of them hold are so amazing then again, that's rock/metal for you. It's more than just music
MystikAura finally someone who understands rock/metal
First off, great vid man... but secondly, my dad served 6 tours combined in Iraq and Afghanistan for the Marine Corps, he was awarded a bronze service star, and a Purple Heart. He was wounded in action, having been shot 3 times. Not only that, but he *watched* two of his best friends die... Due to this he has severe PTSD, and he suffers from alcoholism because of it. I’ve seen what that can do to a family, and it pisses me off when I see people mistreating service members, because they deserve nothing but our love and support. Anyways during one of his tours in Afghanistan, he saw a 5FDP show when they played at his base.
Ethan K ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I missed 5FDP in Afghanistan by a handful of hours. They were in Bagram AFB (if I remember right. It could have been Jalalabad which was considerably closer to where I was posted) in 200...8? 2009? My flight got delayed because of an insurgent attack on a nearby FOB. *edit. I was heading home on mid-tour leave. I was really bummed that I missed them. (No casualties, I also feel I should report. Except the poor SOBs that thought it was a good idea to attack our boys. ;P)
Matt Stanford Mad respect bro
Ethan K some dad's at least make it out my dad bled to death after being shot 6 times in the chest I never really got to meet my dad
big fat loaf of banana bread, that sucks, sorry to hear that
I was homeless and moving constantly for years, but I was lucky to have my family and best friend also a former military to help me. Constantly fighting the past is exhausting but as long as there are people that can snap you out of it and willing to help makes life much more bearable. I'm glad you reacted to this song the way the band intended it.
Just lost a brother I was deployed with. Took his own life two weeks ago. He reached out for help but tragically the message wasn't received in time. RIP SGT Griffith your heart finally got it's peace.
May he Rest easy...and strength to his family and you and his lads! He will not be forgotten brother!
Greetings from a german recon soldier!
This song is so powerful. Being a vet I can really relate to the stuff these guys had to go through. It's hard sometimes...
My deepest respect to all my brothers who gave everything! -A Dutch combat engineer
As an army vet myself the “gone away” cover and music video by five finger death punch really sums up a lot that military deal with that most civilians will never understand.
Whenever I see the part at the end of the veteran saying “you saved my life brother” to the man sitting on the streets...it brings me to tears! I have friends who have risked their lives in the military for our country and I’m so grateful for their sacrifice!
As a 12 year veteran, and sufferer of PTSD from a helo crash in the Marines, I can tell you this hits home every time I see it. The lyrics always choke me up. Thank you for taking the time to react to this and for the genuine sincerity you show towards this issue with veterans. I appreciate you. Thanks for taking us on this musical adventure with you Alex.
I listened to it one time and cryed like a baby, I'm a Veteran I was in Iraq, awesome reaction brother.👊
Shout out to all the knuckleheads out there!
8 Years in the Navy, deployed Westpac and Iraq. Just getting on my feet, 3 years in the making I'm off the streets of Cali now and with family. Not blood family, but a different kind, people irreplaceable to me. I've got a job now, not a good one, but it's enough. I've got an apartment now, not a big one, but it's enough. I've got food now, not steak and lobster, but it's more than I had. I'm thankful everyday for the people and organizations that reached out to me when I'd given up. They prevented me from being another statistic, and this song really touched on so much that I can't even describe to this day. Amazing song, and amazing reaction. Thanks so much for bringing this into the light for those who may not have been aware. Health is wealth, be blessed
My nephew came back from the war with EXTREME PTSD. This song always makes me cry because I think of him. Luckily he has family who understands and is there for him. A lot aren’t so lucky.
Watch it a few more times to take it all in after 30 or 40 times it will hit you harder everytime no joke it is a intense video with a powerful message learn from it. Thank you I enjoyed this video. Take care and have a great day everyone.......
DonWard AreYouAwake I don't know how many time's I've watched this music video but I've cried everytime
Plockman29 it kinda has that affect on a lot of us believe me you are not alone. Take care.......
I’m an IOF OEF Veteran with PTSD. When I returned from Baghdad and Falluja in 2004 after 15 months in country, I lost everything I had. My house, family, band, dropped outta college... lost several jobs and ended up living with a friend on a cot with not much of anything else. I turned to drinking and one night stands as a solution to mask the pain. Nothin helped. Finally after nearly 10 years of dealing with my demons and almost taking my own life, I called for help. I checked myself into the VA PTSD clinic and was supposed to be gone 5 weeks, ended up staying there for the CPT(Cognitive Processing therapy) and was there for 4 months. They make you look at your War traumas in a different light and made me see the big picture. My survivors guilt went down quit a bit and I am happy to say that I lead a semi normal life now. If your a veteran with ptsd, please realize you aren’t alone. You don’t need to suck it up and drive on anymore.. there are people, other veterans, who understand and can help. I’m sick of my brothers and sisters making it back and still dying from the war by their own hands. Please reach out. Help is only a phone call away! 🇺🇸
Your words brought tears to my eyes -- and I'm a vet as well.
I truly believe that most -- 95% of vets -- could solve most problems by simply reaching out and asking for help. We've got each other's six in country...so why would we not have each other's six at home??
Please, my brothers and sisters in uniform, past and present -- If you need help, ask for it! You are not alone! And it is never too late to get help from other brothers and sisters who have been where you are -- all you have to do is ask. I'm begging you...don't go it alone!

Amen to you my brother.
Fellow five year Navy vet.
Your words made me a bit misty-eyed.
But agree 1000%.
Any vet who needs help, all they need to do is reach out and ask.
We're here.
Absolutely we have their 6 right here at home.
Inspiring words.
Thank you for them.
Peace my brother.
@Christopher Tyler
Amen to you as well, my brother in arms.
Thank you for your words.
Listen to remember everything by five finger death punch
Yes!!!!!!!!
I'm still not able to finish this song. My wife actually told me not to watch it but I can only get about half way through the video before I fall to pieces. I was only in Fallujah for one month and it was enough to change me forever. It took less than two weeks for me to lose a group of the finest friends I could ever ask for. That was over a decade ago now I'm safe home and married. I still can't sleep most nights and randomly wander off into my head and end up as a crying heap from time to time. This song is hurts deep. Really deep. Glad you enjoyed it. It tells the truth.
Funny story. I was throwing a party and my friend hailey left her friend des at my place while she went to get other people. Des and i were listening to music and i showed her this, she actually cryed. Im not sure but i think this song got me laid later that night. Ps im a vet so i love ffdp. They do good for vets and military.
Now you understand our frustration when someone claims to have PTSD caused by someone hurting their feelings with words. There are good people doing bad things to bad people, don't forget us, we do it for you all.
robin rose PTSD is such a horrible thing to have... Lots of love for everyone suffering. You deserve it.
My hats off to anyone who can live though and deal with PTSD every day
Ptsd is based on trauma. It isnt about "ppl with hurt feelings" its about being traumatized aand ptsd doeant pick or choose what is traumatic and what isn't. I have cptsd caused by long term emotional abuse but got nothing from the physical abuse. The majority of ptsd people are just regular people - usually women. Be happy you dont have it and hope you never get it. Its horrific and people like you continue to spread misinformation that actually hurts ppl with ptsd from getting help. If you dont respect all ptsd suffers you can't respect military personnel who have it - you can't pick and choose who you think should be traimatised enough smh.
ravens your wrong and no I will not feel the same about the two. Until you know what we have been through, how the fuck you going to say it's the same.FUCK your petty selfish attitude.
This song always gives me chills. I love all of my brothers and sisters in arms and this song hits hard because it’s true
DEEP BREATH. gotta prepare myself for these feels.
The next Five Finger Death Punch song you react to should be Gone Away
not even their own song
Andrew Z It's still a good cover
That cover fucking sucked
“I’m no hero, and I’m not made of stone”. I wanna get that tattooed on me one day
Get the spelling right first ;) *made of stone
Well, what have you done to think you've earned that branding? If you haven't done something that put yourself at risk to protect others who cant or won't protect themselves, then you sir, should not get that tattooed on your skin.
I was thinking about getting that aswell. I never had the honour to serve my country, but I was a firefighter for 3 years, I’ve seen stuff that still haunts me to this day. But I know I helped people
What I've always loved bout this song, is the sense of familial love that all vets feel for each other-captured in this song so well that even people who've never served feel it too. We feel so alone after everything is said and done, sometimes it's it's hard to remember that people love and want to help us. Why weren't you there for us? We went so that you would be safe, we wanted to save you.
I'm sooo glad you decided on this choice. Amazing band, amazing message too. :)
US Army Vet here. These guys absolutely rock! YOU NEED TO HERE MORE OF THEM!! Scouts lead the way!!

I used to listen the 5FDP all the time while deployed. They have a few videos like this. Their new one gone away, the remake of the offspring song, coming down which is all about suicide.... check out their other videos.
Thank you for your service. I cannot tell you how much me and mine appreciate you all.
Video for coming down hit me like a brick..... then I seen gone away and it killed me..... 5fdp are an unreal band and they give utter respect to the military
Thank you for your service
Thank u for the great words, and the great amount of respect u showed for us VETS. Thank you.
There are people out in this world that care, we want you to succeed and be happy and healthy and safe. We do care for you
I was there and it's a real struggle. This is one of my favorite songs, because it encompasses a lot of daily feelings.
This song/video combination never fails to bring me to tears. Here's to our soldiers out there, thank you for your service to our country.
Try listening I apologize by Five Finger Death Punch
I love the voice of Ivan specially in this song. The soft parts and the hard parts are awesome
@@milujoTV That just sounded dirty lol
@Gabe Carter wow...butt hurt are we?
That song makes me burst into uncontrollable tears, it sucker punches you in the gut and makes my feels go in a tissy
Yes it hits home
US veteran 88-92
Im a 2 time combat veteran 2 purple hearts and a silver star i feel unappreciated everyday
You aren't unappreciated! I'm a Navy vet from the early 80s and I appreciate YOU!
We love you and care for you! From the bottom of my heart I hope you find the gentleness and tender love of someone that recognizes that your worth is immeasurable.
Hey Alex. I just wanna say, this video always hits home for me. I'm currently enlisted and this song touches on a topic that doesnt get talked about thoroughly enough, and that's the moral quandary of whether or not we are doing the right thing. And it sucks, because as soldiers we dont get the option to weigh that question ourselves. We get orders, and execute them. While I'm one of the lucky few who aren't homeless, have a family, and are not struggling with any of the issues touched on by the video, it still gets to me that we address the issues and concerns, but never the root of the problem. We dont talk often enough about the moral questions, and frankly the leaders aren't either. It sucks being a pawn in a rich man's game, because that's sadly and truly what our military is. I like to take the position that a lot of artists and many people do: we love our nation's soldiers and appreciate their sacrifices, but hate the game that the military chooses to play.
Architects - These Colors Don't Run
or
Architects - Nihilist
Both have extremely deep meanings. I think you'll enjoy them.
Toms Račinskis what does nihilist mean? (serious question btw)
Gone with the wind
According to Oxford dictionary it's a person who believes that nothing has any value, especially that religious and moral principles have no value.
A good choice of songs, too.
Alexander Korolko thanks man, really appreciate the help :D
FFDP - The Bleeding. Great song! Try it!
Tyler Malakowsky The best song in my opinion!
Glad to see someone who shares my opinion.
As a veteran with PTSD, I'm glad that more people are getting their message out. PTSD runs my whole life at times and it sucks. Thank you for getting the forgotten majority's view out in the world.
I come from a Military family. I became a military spouse and helped train Military in a specialty capacity. I thank this band and every other person who volunteers with the USO to provide a little bit of normalcy while our soldiers are deployed. I have PTSD as well. You don't always have to be in the uniform to get it. It's a lifelong commitment to maintain a sense of staying in the present. Something as simple as a broken glass or a firecracker can set you off if the sound is in the right frequency.
Love the song, love the band. As a veteran and as someone who now works at a VA hospital I can tell you the biggest problem with helping a lot of these men and women is they don't want the help. They are so traumatized that they choose to live on the street and not deal with the problems. We are just now seeing a large percentage of Vietnam era vets who are finally dealing with their issues. They are getting older and retiring and they don't have their jobs to escape to anymore. That what they did too. They would blow off family events and talking to their families and just escape to work with others who were going through the same thing. No one was dealing with the issues though. Obviously the VA does have problems but at least where I work there are very dedicated people doing their very best to help those who need it.
My husband is a vet, with PTSD and a TBI. We have spent many an hour, sitting in the VA waiting rooms. I was shocked by the amount of Vietnam, Korean, and WWII vets, sitting in the mental health clinic. As you said though, for many of them, they came back, and just worked, always keeping themselves busy. Once life slowed down, and they had time on their hands, I think much of this came flooding back for them. My heart truly breaks, as so many of them are going through this alone. Especially the older vets. Many have lost so much of their families, and friends. I just want to hug them all. The best I can do, is sit and talk with them, while I am there, and thank them for their service.
There is no transition for us. It's wide open to gone. It's not about wanting help it's trust. Families learning to live together again. Function again. In 19 yrs I was gone 14. The hills and valleys are deep and hard for others to understand. These are even more extreme when you are a figher. I was an EOD. 3 of us came home. Many of us are gone so much our spouses can't cope with reintegration as well as other issues. It's a lot. Then you through injuries etc it is overwhelming. And for soldiers it's hard to trust. The military just threw you away and you get thrown into a world with zero transition time.
I'm probably a bit late, but you should react to "Coming down" from 5FDP. These men really know how to hit hard. Thanks for trying stuff far away from your comfort zone.
Greetings from Germany. :)
I got to meet these men backstage at a concert. It was my off day while I was in the Navy. I was still in my uniform. Ivan looked at my dog tags that I wear and legit looked like he was gonna cry. I did end up crying because the tags where my dad's... My dad's favorite band was fine finger death punch and I remember the day he passed we listened to them all day. My tags are a part of me. It keeps my dad with me no matter where I am, what I'm doing or who I'm with.
That line of "You saved my life brother" hits a little close to home. A couple years back I found out one of my brothers from service didn't have a place to go and had been homeless for 4 years.. I drove around New York looking for him for 15 hours. When I finally found him he didn't recognize me at first which I'm not surprised.I had a scar down my right eye and was pregnant with my son. I sat down on the street with him and he saw my tags... He bursted out crying saying "Thank you for not giving up on me."
I'm lucky to be in a position that I could get him a house and help him back on his feet.
2 years later he has a wife and is expecting their first child. He's my godson and I'm lucky to still have a connection to my brother in arms
This is one of my favorite songs from “Five Finger Death Punch”.I cry EVERY time I listen to it
Damn! Can’t of asked for a better reaction dude loved it! FFDP are awesome,
I love These two songs by
Five Finger Death Punch -
- I apologise
- Remember everything

Alex Hefner awh dude it’s all good man, I just like supporting :D love it bro keep it up :)

R.I.P Buddy, I'll see you again, one day brother.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry man. Be strong.
@@WhatsUpFridayHowl I just read this, roughly one year after you penned it. I just thought I'd check up on you, make sure you're okay? Also, I want to remind you that you are loved. Keep fighting the good fight! I hope you've gotten to experience some of that adventure, romance, love, etc. in the year that's passed :). I hope you'll experience much more, for many more years to come!
@@Adam-kr5gw Awesome!
@@WhatsUpFridayHowl I second what Adam said! Hope this finds you well!
Ffdp is freaking amazing. I love them so much
There are a really good band so emotional and captivating
yeah ffdp are the best band walking the face of this earth. mad respect ivan, zoltan, jason, chris, charlie and jeremy
This song hits me in the heart. I have lived with Combat PTSD in an debilitating state for some years and unless you live with it, you don't get the hallucinations, the extreme paranoia, the delusions, the constant fear of feeling on the edge when you're in public, the guilt, the anguish, the conflict, how it physically effects your nerves and can't hold your bowls in when you want to take your wife on a date, or how it's causing my feet to rot off because I don't want to sleep and have another night terror, so I stand all day and night until I just pass out wherever I am standing...yeah that's just the summary of it, and I don't want anyone's sympathy because I made the choice to do what I did, but my friends who died, their wives and children deserve everything and more because they'll never have the chance to attain what they've lost. I do want the people of America and other countries to understand the gravity of what PTSD is, and it's not some fake disorder.
I am lucky to have a mostly supporting family, an extremely supporting wife and understanding children, but many of my brothers in arms don't have that person to keep them in check, to keep them from drinking or snorting their life away to deal with the pain, to keep them from going postal on their crooked ass boss, keep them from sticking that barrel to roof of their mouth and pull the trigger, or to keep them from calling the police and claiming a man was at their house trying to kill them only for them to run out the door as soon as the police get there so the police will kill them. Many vets wanna be left alone, and that's ok, but don't box them into a room without empathy. You never know what type of monster may step back out.
Watch the video a second or third time to see the story behind the music. Most people don't realize that each character portrayed in the video were each of the individual soldiers from the combat scenes.
No shit Sherlock
My fiance is in the British military and this video just nails it. The way Alex broke down the "wrong side of heaven and righteous side of hell" line was absolutely perfect and something my fella goes through each deployment Xx
As a veteran I love 5FDP...they are insanely military and veteran friendly. They feel that without the military and veterans then they couldn’t do what they do today. Also, thank you for all that you do to entertain and letting the veteran services roll during the video. I have served 3 combat tours totaling almost 3 years of my life and suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. It is not easy and have been on the verge of Suicide myself several times. My daughters are what keeps me going, but sadly there are so many that loose what helps them hang on. We, veterans, get tired of fighting each and every day. There are times I’m afraid to go to sleep because of the night terrors....but I have what grounds me, my daughters and music. Just wanted to say thank you for what you do.
react to 5FDP - Gone Away Official video
JusT BonGo I wish I could vote this up 100 times
That song hits you right in the feels man
They can't beat the original though
they did beat it
Kristijan Poslek no they didnt. the video is better but The Offsprings version cant be topped
If you want an AMAZING Band check out
Dio: Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark
Rainbow: Stargazer
(both bands have the same Vocalist/Leader, Dio. His voice is LITERALLY THE BEST IN ROCK N ROLL! EVEN LIVE HE SOUNDS NO DIFFERENT! But check out a Studio Version FIRST to get an Idea of his voice BEFORE WATCHING A LIVE PERFORMANCE for the best Mind-Blow Results!)
Another dio fan? rare sight. cheers mate.
Freddy apex same to you. He's so underrated it not often I come across someone who also knows who he is (only 2 my entire life), let alone they find me. I don't know how, but I keep coming across underrated artists and loving them more often then most people would their entire life, and I'm only in High School. First Dio, then Deep Purple, and now Dream Theater.
Not a lot of kids around my age appreciate older music, let alone the underrated guys. Most kids like whats coming out in the moment (Katy Parry, Ed Sharen, ect.) with the acception of the classics they play on the radio, like Queen and stuff.
I'm not trying to brag and say "hey, I'm cultured" or something, I'm just saying that I'm surprised at myself on how many times this has happened before, and how unfortunate it is that most kids don't appreciate the older stuff anymore..
I wholeheartedly agree with this you gotta do DIO he has done many fantastic songs during his time R.I.P Ronnie but to recommend a few more to that
Don't talk to strangers
Dream evil
Invisible
Even his brief time in black sabbath who could forget
Heaven and Hell
I could really keep going but i won't
“You know me , you saved my life brotha, we’re gonna get you ok”
The lead singer has family who joined practically every branch of the military, so this song is pretty close to his heart. Bro, i didnt watch the video and love the song (knew it meant military) and you analyzing the lyrics made me start crying.
This song is so powerful that when I 1st heard it and didn't know it was about the Soldiers in the military it already made me cry buy now that I found out it was for and about the soldiers it just breaks my heart that so many of our military Veterans r out on the streets with so many problems and only a few get to be able to get back on their own 2 feet with other ppls help. It upsets me that all of the veterans r being discarded so casually and that no one cares what's happening to them, they did risk their lives for us the ppl of the nation and as I've already said it breaks my heart.
You should react to "I Apologize" from 5FDP
Fainoshag Such an underrated song
VapeDaddy Smoke Ikr, unfortunately...
Definatly!
Five Finger Death Punch - When The Seasons Change.
I am a Veteran and when i got medically discharged i came home and was homeless off and on. I have a few friends who are Vets that helped me out and showed me how to live again! Most of us fight for the man standing next to us! Its that simple!
React to five finger death punch-Under and Over it
Under and over and Wash it all Away are 2 of the best IMO.
coming down would be pretty good too, remember that song is based on teen suicide, suicide in general, there's a lot of ground to cover in that song
They've done several video's like this. Coming Down and My Nemesis are really good music videos raising awareness for serious and heartbreaking problems.
Two of my favorite songs by them
I hope you know the significance of you possibly exposing this video and the message to a wider audience with your reaction videos. As a Marine vet with a brother who was in the Air Force, these are figures that live in our heads when every person we came in contact with during our time. Giving the band and the video the respect and leaving the end contact list up was as much of a tribute to the cause as Five Finger making the video. Thank-you.
My dad was a special forces Green Beret in Vietnam. This video always makes me cry, no matter how many times I’ve seen it! We have failed them too many times.
