Man, I love finding good covers because it honestly feels as rare as a diamond to find someone who isn't flat or misses the power or vocal themes of a song which can kill it for me. Fortunately none of that is missing from this or any of your covers/songs I've listened to. My point is keep doing what you're doing. You're incredibly talented, and are able to hit all the points for me to want to keep coming back.Get that world, and get it now, Chris. You rock!
Listening to this right now; Chris when you get the chance, you really gotta re-record some of these songs. The passion you put into things like these is really inspiring honestly.
So that I don't have to open another tab. (and for others) - There's a fire on the borders and it's burning down the walls you built high And there's a steady stream of anger and it's spilling from the coasts A tidal wave And the words say we reap what we sow So where I bury you I'll build my home In line to reclaim but we’re sick of the wait We want it all and we want it now Tonight I watched your fires burn out The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours We want it all and we want it now A tide is coming to drown you out We make ourselves at home while your body’s still warm Tradition tethers us to rituals and Are we all just clocks on wrong times? And something triggers each and every time I hear you say "God bless this place" But your numbers are dwindling now Though endangered we'll still hunt you down With heads on a stake long may you reign We want it all and we want it now Tonight I watched your fires burn out The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours We want it all and we want it now A tide is coming to drown you out We make ourselves at home while your body’s still warm And there's a fire on the borders and it's burning down the walls you built high And there's a steady stream of anger and it's spilling from the coasts A tidal wave We want the motherfucking world and we want it now Tonight I watched your fires burn out The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours No I don't want to wait I know a better way So step aside, come on or better yet just go away Our chance has finally come There might not be another one now No we're not gonna wait We want it now Yeah we’re dousing the flames We want it now
Think so too. Heard his version before the original though. But not much into the original. On the other hand it's not my style of music in general, so I probably don't look for certain characteristics of it
That little growl at 1:38 was fantastic. It almost felt like it was on accident but definitely shows how passionate you were in that moment. Great stuff.
Alex Strange Have you seen his cover of Gethsemane by Rise Against? There's something of an outtake at the end where he does that for the last couple lines. It's *pretty fucking good.*
I enjoy hearing your opinion on politics and SocJus and your sarcastic videos are fun to watch but you have such an awesome voice I love hearing you sing and play i wish you had more music stuff. :)
Ive loved rise against since I can remember I grew up on it, I dont know who I'd be if I didnt! I already loved your content then I found these covers and Im in love please never stop being awesome
I enjoyed all of your acoustic versions of rise against and I should have listened to all of your other songs over time as I was a drunk not at my best performance
Dude I just found this while binging your videos where you talk about topics and damn you are an amazing musician, like this song is better here than the original
If you guys are looking for chords, i play it with the guitar tuned half a step down. Verse: Am, Em,G,D,C Chorus:Am, Em, G, D Some parts he switched it up but for the most part this is how i play it. Its not perfect but i think its close Capo on 3rd fret
I always liked your covers and hoped to do the same! This week I made my first 2 covers and I believe that the idea to do so came from you! Thanks for your amazing work.
Very interesting version of the sound! I feel this song is not a great acoustic song but if you want to attempt it the tempo should be slower.But I still enjoyed this version very much! Great job!
You are amazing. You should try and go pro someday. Once all your points are made and recorded, not before. For they will prevent any further such points of view.
i prefer this to the original, please get a band together you remind me of like a strange mix of oldschool green day and millencolin but acoustic, it's sick man, i'd love it here it with an eletric guitar and some rad punk drumming
I wonder if he is aware that punk rock is kind of SJW within of itself. Green Day and Rise Against support BlackLivesMatter, Dead Kennedys have spoken out against sexism/racism, and im pretty confident that although these guys are not exactly a punk band per se, but many members of Rage Against The Machine are feminists.
Supporting BLM and speaking out against sexism and racism don't automatically make you an SJW. It's the tactics you use and the lengths you go to that decide that.
That I can agree. Its always a pet peeve of mine when I talk about how there is sexism or racism in today's society (not to the extent of SJWs of course) I suddenly get called an SJW even though I am just acknowledging the issues in the world. Im just against all forms of extremes I guess.
The ironic fact about you covering this song in particular is that the lyrics can be interpreted to be about the takeover of entitled social justice warriors. Nothing indicates that those who want it all and want it now have actually deserved any of it. Even the concept of being triggered by words is mentioned. I doubt the song is actually about that, but it's a funny coincidence that it can be interpreted that way.
Tokeo Steev There's a video Chris made a little while ago (I'm pretty sure it was a Weekend Recap - before they were Ray Gun Recaps) where he addresses this. He basically said (to paraphrase) "Why the fuck should I care if Chik-fil-A is anti-LGBT? All I care about is whether or not they make good chicken." He said (possibly in a different video) "Hey, you know who I don't agree with most of the time? Most of the musicians I listen to on a regular basis." He knows that their message is something he usually disagrees with, but he doesn't care because they make good music anyway.
I never noticed, but Chris looks.. passionate while he makes music. He looks at home. Comedian or not, I think this is his calling.
He plays guitar on his twitch streams sometimes
@skramz kid he ocasionaly makes songs on his snark tank channel
This is his favourite band aswell so it’s no surprise

Seriously Chris you deserve at least four times the subs you have. You're the best.
time proved you right, kind stranger
These old covers are the best, made me learn to love rise against and relove acoustic
oh dude i fucking love rise against, i'm so happy i found this channel. you should do more music stuff.
Been short on time lately. Hopefully I can do more music stuff. I love doing it.
I agree! I love your voice, talent and satire! Please do more
Listening to this right now;

There's a fire on the borders and it's burning down the walls you built high
And there's a steady stream of anger and it's spilling from the coasts
A tidal wave
And the words say we reap what we sow
So where I bury you I'll build my home
In line to reclaim but we’re sick of the wait
We want it all and we want it now
Tonight I watched your fires burn out
The cold dead hands we pried these guns from are yours
We want it all and we want it now
A tide is coming to drown you out
We make ourselves at home while your body’s still warm
Tradition tethers us to rituals and
Are we all just clocks on wrong times?
And something triggers each and every time I hear you say
"God bless this place"
But your numbers are dwindling now
Though endangered we'll still hunt you down
With heads on a stake long may you reign

No I don't want to wait
I know a better way
So step aside, come on or better yet just go away
Our chance has finally come
There might not be another one now
No we're not gonna wait
We want it now
Yeah we’re dousing the flames
We want it now
Randy Kalff thanks
No problem.
Thank you! :D
+Kenzi Lowe No problem to you as well.
+DHM679
And indeed for you it's no problem either.
This is a truly great cover, I think its better than the original
conbonnor, nah bud, I think he's really digging the song. Both versions actually hit me on the level I need after the roughest patch.
Think so too. Heard his version before the original though. But not much into the original. On the other hand it's not my style of music in general, so I probably don't look for certain characteristics of it
Never imagined this song would be this awesome in acoustic. Keep up the excellent job.
That little growl at 1:38 was fantastic. It almost felt like it was on accident but definitely shows how passionate you were in that moment. Great stuff.
Alex Strange Have you seen his cover of Gethsemane by Rise Against? There's something of an outtake at the end where he does that for the last couple lines. It's *pretty fucking good.*
This actually an amazing fucking cover. I had no idea Chris used to make cover videos. Awesome.
I’m going back and watching all your covers and original songs I can find. I love your voice, Chris. You seem very passionate when you play music too
I enjoy hearing your opinion on politics and SocJus and your sarcastic videos are fun to watch but you have such an awesome voice I love hearing you sing and play i wish you had more music stuff. :)
I'm so happy one of the SocJus songs had this as it's end card
Fantastic version Chris
A lot of passion and punk rock vibes in this amazing cover
When I found your channel about a year ago I couldn't believe you were a RA fan...you're the best, like honestly
I don’t know how or why it took me so long to see this…
It’s fantastic… hats off to you, brother…
Thank you
You are an amazing musician Chris *holds lighter*
Chris, I never tire listening to this. Thank you.
Impressive. Not many people have those results. I can obviously tell you've worked hard to get everything tuned just right.
WHOAH! Chris did one of my favorite songs of all time. This made my day. I didn't even know it fucking existed.
Ive loved rise against since I can remember I grew up on it, I dont know who I'd be if I didnt! I already loved your content then I found these covers and Im in love please never stop being awesome
I enjoyed all of your acoustic versions of rise against and I should have listened to all of your other songs over time as I was a drunk not at my best performance
Chris has the perfect voice for a punk or alt rock band. Hope one day he does some kind of musical project like that.
Love it Chris, keep it up
SO GOODDDDD.
Awesome job man I love this!
You have so much talent and a great head on your shoulders man. Don't ever fucking stop, and don't put that guitar down.
Damn, your good! When I try to play that fast my arm cramps. Great voice too!
im just going to be listening to your music now, i didnt know this was even on the channel lol i love it
Dude I just found this while binging your videos where you talk about topics and damn you are an amazing musician, like this song is better here than the original
How are you not famous, your amazing! Well actually you'd might have an anxiety attack but still you are amazing!
love it Chris Ray Gun
I’m damn impressed ...

Ur cover is actually better than original song. U have such pretty voice man.
Love this well done!
Excellent. Wish I could sing and play at the same time.
I love rise against version, but Chris is just more of my type
Awesome cover
If you guys are looking for chords, i play it with the guitar tuned half a step down.
Verse: Am, Em,G,D,C
Chorus:Am, Em, G, D
Some parts he switched it up but for the most part this is how i play it. Its not perfect but i think its close
Capo on 3rd fret
this great man keep it up
I always liked your covers and hoped to do the same! This week I made my first 2 covers and I believe that the idea to do so came from you! Thanks for your amazing work.
I didn't expect this cover to be the most viewed one, not that it doesn't deserve it, I prefer it from the actual song.
Siddharta Gautama It’s possible that most of the views are mine.
AMAzing
Heat.
gut gespielt und gesungen :)
no dl link. you disappoint me Chris-Kun
this guy is good
I really want a re make of this bro it would go hard
max props homey
I like this more than the original song, like much more.
Hey, think you can take a few minutes or so to do a cover of "Swing life Away" by rise against? I just came across your old songs and I love them.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
What the hell Chris suddenly got a lot more attractive
Very interesting version of the sound! I feel this song is not a great acoustic song but if you want to attempt it the tempo should be slower.But I still enjoyed this version very much! Great job!
You are amazing. You should try and go pro someday. Once all your points are made and recorded, not before. For they will prevent any further such points of view.
you music good.
This is way better than the original.
i prefer this to the original, please get a band together
you remind me of like a strange mix of oldschool green day and millencolin but acoustic, it's sick man, i'd love it here it with an eletric guitar and some rad punk drumming
Couldn't see this on your Bandcamp, is there another DL or would it be OK if I used a MP3 converter?
Oh God Yes! I came to your channel for the SJW hate and stayed for the Rise Against love! Keep doing your thing man! 👏
+LuiKang043 Same man
So er... Mind giving me the chords for this? Been searching high and low and found nothing
You should do covers of Enya songs.
Capo on 4th fret. Correct?
HOLY SHIT try watching this at x0.75 speed and at x1.25 speed, I swear they sound completely different.
What tab did you use for this?
+Redsnork NO I DONT WANT TO USE MY REAL NAME None. I learned by ear.
anyone got the chords he uses?

Just don't suppress the free exchange of ideas or try and police what people say and you're all good.
Im against policing people for what they believe in
Matthew C. I was referring to the majority of the band members in Rage lol
Get your music on spotify man, I like this better than Rise again's version.
3.5 days
Better than the original.
Actually, I was just thinking that I didn't like the original songs as much as I liked his versions.
True. In my opinion the singer of rise against sounds kinda bored. No energy whatsoever. Kills every mood the lyrics are trying to get you in.
The ironic fact about you covering this song in particular is that the lyrics can be interpreted to be about the takeover of entitled social justice warriors. Nothing indicates that those who want it all and want it now have actually deserved any of it. Even the concept of being triggered by words is mentioned. I doubt the song is actually about that, but it's a funny coincidence that it can be interpreted that way.
Music is art. Interpretation is a crucial part of art.
Daddy
Better than the original!
tab?
Add another song to the list of covers that are better than the originals IMO
hope the tidal wave wakes California up and they realise that free speech and individual freedom is important
Unfortunately, this comment aged like milk.
you are awesome I hope lacy green dint fuck your head up! I think she did!
The original is bad in comperisson to this lol
I need to pick um my guitar again!!!
Rise Against and SJW stupidity? Life does have a purpose
oh shit im replying late as fuck
Yeah - what hes really doing is that he made this song as a cover of that song. Doesn't reflect his political views.
Tokeo Steev There's a video Chris made a little while ago (I'm pretty sure it was a Weekend Recap - before they were Ray Gun Recaps) where he addresses this. He basically said (to paraphrase) "Why the fuck should I care if Chik-fil-A is anti-LGBT? All I care about is whether or not they make good chicken."
