  • I'm not religious at all, and I don't like to associate myself with any religion. I like to believe what i want, but i respect each religion because it brings something special to the table. I don't agree entirely of it. I respect christianity, especially when it comes to music. I love christian rock, rap, and metal bands so freaken much and will always enjoy it.

  • just putting it out there... jesus doesn't hate religious people. he loves everyone no matter where we're at, being a bit religious and pride full (which is everyone to a degree) or maybe we are trying really hard to be as holy as we can. the only true judgment is when jesus judges our heart. and even then his grace is enough :)

  • How about fuck preaching about god on youtube. People are here for the music and videos not to here you bitch about the bible.

    But besides that i miss this song.

  • Hello 240 p, so we meet again... I love this song :) , and I like pie :D

  • What an amazing song. So loving this one. <3 -Ty

  • Wait, why is it only showing my views?...

  • I love how the highest rated comment says that Jesus hated religious people. LOL Someone needs to study the bible.....

  • @heislegend93 "I love how the highest rated comment says that Jesus hated religious people. LOL Someone needs to study the bible....."

    People use the word "religious" in different ways. Jesus was against religion for its own sake (see Pharisses). Any religion that is built on the views of mankind will be in error even if its intentions are good.

    OTOH, complaints RE: religion are often just an excuse to not go to church and the Bible says that we should have corporate worship among believers

  • dude i love his guitar

  • Love this song. Check out the cover I've made to one of their songs. Bad habits x

  • I use those drum sticks. :D

  • Absolutely love this song!!!!!

    & great band,

    I need to look them up.

    :-D

  • amazing band greetings from argentina!

  • CHICO!!:)

  • he looks like an older version of that kid from two and a half men....

  • i found this through gnoosic! you type in three of your favorite bands and they find music you will love. my three were :paramore,the frey, and automatic loveletter

  • im really addicted to this band. i mean, this guy or i dunno. and its even better his a christian

  • shut the hell up, whats with all the haters?

  • i'd probably write something a little more meaningful if i liked this band.

  • Wow I am so in love with this song. :)

  • I've gotta ask, does anyone know if this is is meant to tell a specific story or moral, and if so, what? I'm not deep enough to discern it for myself.

    Thanks.

  • @masterman332 i've always seen the song as a message to yourself. how we think we know everything but we dont and therefore when we take matters into our own hands we only screw things up.

  • Ok buddy, your kindda right, but

    1. Jesus loved everyone and hoped that they would turn to serve the true God.

    2. He was a carpenter not a construction worker.

    3. Jesus was a very religious man, why do you think he spent most of his life preaching and teaching about his heavenly father.

  • @rarke3 carpentry is construction and he was'nt a religous freak.... like zukens51 said religious people are judgemental, just cause he preached and teached dont mean that he was religious fanatic he was wise thats why he preached and teached...

  • great song.

     cool band.

  • Who gives a damn if it's Christian? I'm an athiest and I'll listen to Christian music if it's good.

  • @GrimmReeferX respect

  • is he a one man band?

  • @Hugh33h yes

  • @Hugh33h theres a full band but they wanted to take a break nd the label was gonna drop them so he had to make a new song by himself to stay on the label! but he did a fantastic job!!....theres a vid about this video

  • @Hugh33h yes sir

  • he should change it to ONLY ONE GUN.

  • haha that'd be less confusing :)

  • i feel bad for this guy cuz they had a good band going, and now he's a one man show.

  • is it true he kicked everyone out though? and maybe he likes it just him so he can do everything his way :)

  • i bet it stinks in live performances having to play all the instruments at once lol jk i'm not sure why they broke up, i bought two of their albums a while ago and now i found out it's barely a band!

  • haha well i bet he sings and plays guitar during concerts and he has people to play drums and stuff, like other solo artists haha :) i want his cd!

  • Chico Cali for the win!

  • the guitar is a framus i believe. he, as well as the guys in a brighten have a deal with them if i'm not mistaken.

  • OMB! RED RIDDING HOOD!

  • lol he looks dumb when he has his little red hood up...is this only one person? i just figured it was more than one person

  • Jeff is the new Aaron Sprinkle. Haha, I have seen his name pop up on different albums for producing it. He makes good music.

  • upper park!

  • Yeah, he did this album by himself.

    No he didn't kick his bandmates out, 2 of them left to create surrogate.

    He wrote this album indierules17 all by himself and produced it by himself in my town Chico, ca. and even directed the music video himself.

  • Yeah he apparently kicked everyone out and did this album by himself.lol When I first heard it I thought it sounded a lot like The Almost.

  • anyone know what kinda guitar he's playing? It's a killer :)

  • Im pretty sure its a jazzmaster, might be some kind of jag tho.

  • number one gun .. to the secrets and knowledge january 2010! mark you calendars... i cant' wait. jeff is the man. he has lyrics that are meant for all people, he doesn't just seclude his fanbase. christian or not, he makes wicked music. everyone is entitled to their beliefs, let them create music under their influences ... when was the last time someone made rude comments because a band was an "Athiest" band haha. it makes no sense.. its nonsense. let pple believe what their entitled to.

  • so is number one gun one person? is he a Christian? he sounds amazinggg i just found out about him

  • yah. his name is jeff and he does it all himself. he is a christian but his lyrics are mostly based around life. they are very applicable for anyone to listen to.

  • @faymissgirl Its a band and yeah its a christian band but you wouldnt know unless you were told. :]

  • yeah thanks :) he rocks

  • i believe the original lead guitar is left handed...im pretty sure about it...i saw them 2002 or 2001....somewhere in cali....i forgot about it....lol

  • The original Number One Gun started at my church.

    :D

    They broke off and the former guitar player started a solo project called Surrogate. Check 'em out there on Tooth an Nail also.

    Ya, this is a solo project.

  • who the hell cares wheteher its christian or not! just enjoy the music

  • i found this guy like a year ago, then forgot. I've been trying to remember the name for two months! good thing i found out what it was. this guys great!

  • these guys? i think it's a solo project no?

  • Just like the music. I feel sorry for ppl who complain just because its a christian band. SO WHAT? its for anyone who wants to listen. Ppl like this Ghobi guy have issues. If you like the song why sat its a shame because the band its religious. Many Christian bands in fact, because they have spiritual ideals, produce more meaningful and cheerful songs that otherwise wouldn't be here. AND THATS ALOT OF SONGS.

  • I can't believe all of this hate and hopelessness. How can you stand that kind of world view? At least the way I live and the beliefs that I hold close to my heart bring me joy no matter what this world brings. I hope that someday you may find the same, whether it comes from God or not.

  • life is what you make it yes. But in the same sense religion is what u make it. If you feel that way, then you know nothing of religion and its purpose. So tell me what you think religion's purpose is?

  • @GhobiGhost

    1. if the music is good who cares if they are christian

    2. capitalize God if only out of respect for other peoples beliefs

    3. Jesus was most definitely not a hippie, he called people no good snakes and flipped tables, Jesus was a man, he worked in construction

    4. Jesus hated the religious people and real Christians are often not religious at all, religious people are judgmental and think they are better, Jesus taught not to be judgmental and that the religious aren't better

  • well said

  • @Zukens5 Jesus didn't hate, he disliked ;) Head's up.

  • @Zukens5 You just made my life thank you for your common sense...

  • @Zukens5 I agree with 3 and 4, but combined with 1 and 2 they don't make sense at all, please explain how those 4 things go together.

  • @Zukens5 Amen.

  • @Zukens5 1 is true. 2 is ok what about writing it G-d. 3 hippies are not men?? 4 is amazing.

  • WOW i didnt even get to see the video cause i was reading all the comments

  • okay.. instead of talking about this stuff ... why don't we talk about some better topics... such as Number One Gun's new cd "to the secrets and knowledge" due out Early 2010! Jeff is almost finished it, he's putting the final pieces together! woho. He's doing everything by himself again i'm told. I loved the north pole project, hopefully this can top it! ANyways, keep anticipating!

  • I'll stop now only cuz i feel like it! , And by the way in my tribe if some one is talking or saying some thing you shut your mouth, you people did not even ask me, be just to tell you any way I am the future Chief of my tribe and have to here out all points, and what people think so do not get mad at what I say or show me disrespect, I have seen so fare that most christians only want to here what thy want to here! I go to many christian churches and some are openly open minded!

  • sgforlife88, Not all christianity is bad.. i understand wat happened in the past, i seen tons of christian hypocrits, AND ive seen all those crazy hallelejuea christians that condemn everyone 2 hell too but those arent the teachings of Christ.. Remember theyre just ppl, we're imperfect beings. But there is good christians out there and im spanish AND christian but what my ancestors did was wrong but dont hang all the blame on christianity..it was bad PEOPLE not the teachings of Christ! God bless

  • so what if I do, fuck it you do not have to here it, but its info most people do not know cuz thy do not want to here it, the past is pian full and sucks and we can not change it but we as people can change what we do now. To learn the past is to dig deep in side your self, and most of the past is not that good, we need to be open minded and here how others feel, not what you only want to here! As i said I am a christian, and if being open minded makes me less a christian then fuck it!

  • one more thing I do have white friends, and thy agree with me on this one. Thy are not natives by blood but thy love my people and are like family to me cuz of that! And us natives have asked for a sorry from the white man and give back are peoples things but no, cuz white man still thinks where animals, and should be a museum! If white man had his way along time ago i would be not born and my people. so as I said think be for you say things, I dare you to say all that on the rez!!!!

  • If you're gonna preach to people, don't do it on a music video. I'm here for music, not a history lesson.

  • And it is cuz of white man that there is drunk people, us natives did not make such things, Do not say mexicans had it! it was white man that gave it to them to take there gold and my peoples gold, if thy saw things are way we would have given it to them, we where good to them and just like snake thy back stab my people and all the other natives! Why do you think I think this way? If your people where realy doing gods work then why Iam I saying all this??????

  • you are some what write but you are still not looking at this with my eyes and hart and soul, and the eyes of some one that has seen white mans evil ways and how thy put there lust for power and greed all over the world. You my friend are ignorant, I have dun my home work on this for a long time, I see you have not, how would you like it if it was the other way? Did you know I do not have the same writes as you do????

  • all people commit to the sins your proclaiming the whites have done. Genocide in Sudan, is just one example. Now its the whites trying to save the rest of the world. People make mistakes, but when you blame "all of the people" then your ignorant.

  • And like most other christians i see your one sided and do not see my side of things, I've had friends an people i have talked to arested just for being native!!!! and talked shit to every day, so think and look at the other side of this, be for you start talking shit!!!!

  • what people have done in the past and will still do in the future is wrong. you could complain about it or you could make a difference like MLK. i respect native americans possibly more anyone else. but if you are going to be all #$%% the white man then i dunno man, it doesnt show many good qualities. remember god loves you no matter what people do or say

  • I was mad this way cuz I like a native life and your grate grate grate grand father hunted my people all most of this planet like an animal, and in history thats all white people have ben doing thats why I do not like white people that much, I do not hate then or you its just hard to see past the genocide! and by the way this country and mexico where one and the tribes traded with one another when mexico was native!!!!!

  • This guy played every instrument and wrote this song. truly talented.

  • this is an amazing song with an awesome purpose!!! love it and love number one gun.

  • stop fighting over religion and race on youtube. are you guys serious? this is so ridiculous. You're never going to see one another. Fighting over something that you're never going to agree on is pointless. Just enjoy life and stop being bitter.

  • Yay another voice of reason! So I'm not alone after all. CeeCee330 is right though guys,honestly,no one but you gives a fuck about you're religion. STOP BEING A GODDAMMED ZEALOT ABOUT IT. We were GIVEN FREE will,meaning we have no actual restrictions. So stop defying your own rules,as the bible says you cannot force you ways upon another,does it not? You idiots have been disobeying your own deity,in its own name! How stupid can you guys get,seriously!?

  • Finally, someone else who has a normal mind on here. This is incredible. Nice to meet you. haha

  • Likewise.

  • U guys are like every one ell's that never wants to talk about what hapend to my ppl, All the churches i go to never want to talk about this and sorry on behalf of the church, how would you like me to come to where you live and take every thing away from you and tell you to live the way i want you 2 live! so you shut the fuck up and do your home work be for you tell me to shut up about this, iam looking for the truth and all iget is lies and bull shit! Hokahay lets talk about this

  • Run Number One Gun!!!! RUN!! haha Sorry. This is a good song!

  • it doesnt matter what back ground you come from we all are sinners and we need saving

    jesus came to seek and save all who are lost Luke 19:10

    God Bless

  • Does it really matter?

  • Shut up and listen to the music.

  • Iam sorry but when people say "I am mexican" I say no your not your aztec or myin! and why do people look the other way when it comes to all the native blood that has ben shed, but when the Jews got sent to the gass chamber every one got mad, I think the U.S. needs to give us our land back, Iam sorry but the U.S.A. needs to pay for what thay did, thay took away some thing ill never get back! Love the song but Fuck the USA

  • i like this video, and iam a christian, but as a True american (Native-American) I some times feel that having faith in the christian God is wired, its like fighting WW2 and then just become a nazi! My ancester's would have killed me for my faith! and iam a caly native, my people have ben killed off so bad that there is no moer 100% Chumash any more! and to set the rec. strait Mexican is not a race, there just native's that mixed with white people!

  • 1 - you are childish beyond belief. I don't give a fuck who you are or where you come from, there is a thing called maturity.

    2 - No one did shit to you. You aren't old enough to be able to cry about that era.

    3 - Have you ever heard of a country called Mexico? People from there are Mexicans.

    4 - It sounds like you are more racist than I will ever be. By the way, I'm white. That is like blacks that are racist against whites. I'm sorry, but if you are racist, you deserve the same.

  • I know jeff personally! I love his work. Listen to bad habits that's another great song:D

  • okay, Austimm. your statement about Romans and trying to blot out Christianity are untrue, Emperor Constantine was converted to christianity after he saw a cross over his battlefield, and he won and he believed god helped him, and documents have been found, written by people who HATED jesus, saying there was something different about him, and there have been COUNTLESS people who have tried to disprove the bible, and guess whats happened to them? they are now Christian! i DARE you to disprove it.

  • TeeHee =* Im already awake...

  • maybe you losers should keep your opinions to yourself and just enjoy the music...damn dont you stupid self-righteous twats have nothin better to do??

  • geil!

  • HE'S AWESOME.. but his face doesn't suit his voice.. i've never seen him before and when i watch this vid i'm like.. naw that can't be him

  • I totally agree, the voice and how he looks is so... whoa.

  • I was just saying that. lol

  • if you like number one gun, check out "That Was Something" theyre awesome!

  • how about you guys just all shut the hell up. gods not real. so i don't know why you guys keep bringing him up

  • God is real.

    We keep bringing Him up beacause He is AWESOME! and without Him i would be lost

  • WOOT!!! Speak the truth =D

  • Finally, someone with some common sense

  • which really you can learn the answers instead of accepting he has the answers. Do you accept the world having chaos, war, famine, rape, genocide, suicide, etc.... and believe that a god wouldn't be so good and perfect then as to allow all of this happening?! Son of man is God? That's insanity. We're all just humans and have no magical powers to do such things like walk on water or turn it into wine (without grapes). No offense to those that are Christian just saying there's more to it....

  • God called himself the Son of Man, He was the perfect Adam. of course we don't have "magical powers." we are just humans which is why Christ came in the first place. and of course there is more to it than walking on water or turning water into wine. God allows these sins to happen even though He is too holy to do them. He wants us to realize that we as humans are imperfect and need a Savior who is. Because if there wasn't sin in the world we wouldn't think we would need to be saved.

  • (con'd) it's because of the sin that we need a Savior. and i'm sorry if you don't agree... but what about this do know where you are going? and don't just say the dust. because that is where your body will go. but where will your soul go?

  • I don't have a soul, everything will be black. Christianity was invented to prevent chaos and disorder. If it didn't exist we wouldn't have wars. If the supposed God is so perfect why didn't he just make us all perfect to begin with? Why wouldn't we all speak the same language so we don't conspire against one another?

  • you do have a soul and God did create us perfect to beginning with but we fell. Which was His plan so in the end He could show His glory and power. In the beginning we did speak all the same language but God confused the language because we disobeyed Him.

  • Christianity is such crap.

    The ideals it teaches are fine but people should learn not to believe stuff like this simply because it says so in the bible, for all you know the people that wrote it were crazy

  • do the "ideals" as you put it, sound crazy crazy which are found in the bible. if not then I find it highly unlikely that the people who wrote them were. you dont exactly get something intillectual out of a crazy person as you have just demonstrated. If you actually took the time to think these things through you might come of sounding a little smarter than you are.

  • First off i did not say the people that wrote it WERE crazy i was explaining that the events in the bible have little credibility by likening them to rambling stories of the clinically ill, but since you brought it up how do you think today's society would treat people that tell and believe stories about people rising from the dead or human life springing from the dust of the earth or an ocean splitting down the middle. these stories would be labeled crazy so what makes the bible different

  • And even though i know your going to ignore what im saying anyway because you are ignorant. how about you explain to me why historically "voice of god" the popes have known to rape children, and why the Roman inquisition killed thousands of people around the world in the name of god, christian church has always been a front for tyrants to do whatever they want and get away with it, and yet you look down on people who think logically and seperate themselves stupid belief systems

  • You have a flawed system. I would assume you are against racial discrimination. And yet you are a religious bigot. Its like saying all black people are fools based on Mike Tysons life. Its totally ignorant. You cannot come against christianity by using Catholic popes as your postor child too bash on when I'm not even a Catholic. Maybe you dont realize that there is a total difference between a Catholic and a Babptist, Methodist, or Pentecostal.

  • Also do your history. Maybe you don't realize it, but before the so called Roman Catholic religion came into being, the Romans were trying to blot out the original followers of Christ. When they realized that it couldn't be done they decided to make a profit by preying on people's purses. They took a small element of the original docterine and inserted their own ideas.

  • Listen to yourselves! It's ridiculous to believe any being could create a universe which is infinite anyway. It is STILL expending beyond our comprehension. Science has proven there are at least more than a couple of other planets similar to ours in the galaxy. We may never live long enough to travel to another galaxy and see it first hand obviously. All this following God and praying to him shows you that your mind is limited. You accept the idea that he has the answers....

  • I wonder how they got the door to just stand up like that.

  • Clutches on the back and on the bottom.

  • CG, elaborate video editing....probably easier than you think.

  • Would like to hear this on vinyl now that I think about it actually. Need a turntable that can plug into a PC and I'd be set.

  • I'm not into the whole "Christian Conspiracy" thing but I admit that this band is extremely talented. Yes, this song IS epic, Chiroko.

  • what is the "Christian Conspiracy"??

  • People who blindly follow a God that they don't actually see or hear in the flesh, people who listen to a priest telling them that so and so is the word of the lord, believing it's possible a man could walk on water, turn it into wine, fit a whole ship with 2 animals of every kind in the whole world on it, evangelists telling you that you can "pay" for your sins to fill their greedy pockets. I think you get the idea. I hope.

  • Do YOU believe in the whole universe popping into existence from a singularity of nitrogen that was not,then was,then exploded? Do YOU believe that our conscious minds evolved from the TOTALLY UNCONSCIOUS MATTER of the big bang? Do u think Noah needed ALL animals on the ark?? Do you know how many diff dogs can descend from a pair?Did u study how BIG the ark was??Do YOU believe that mutations,almost ALL of which are pathogenic in nature,AIDED our evolution? U can't see the wind,love..or me

  • We do not blindly follow. We Follow with our eyes wide open. We see HIM through His scriptures, His words! I don't have a priest telling me so and so is the lord. I READ THAT HE IS THE LORD myself! on my own! it isn't possible for a mere man to walk on water or turn water into wine! that was GOD WHO DID IT it was the SON OF MAN who is GOD. who turned the water into wine and walked on water. HE DID THAT TO SHOW HIS POWER! God sent the animals 2 by 2 to the ark for His glory and His ultimate plan.

  • It was His plan. If HE didn't send the animals to the ark they would have been drowned in the world wide flood (and don't say that it didn't happen! because there is scientific proof!). Evangelists don't tell you how to pay your sins! BECAUSE YOU CAN'T!! we as humans cannot pay for our sins! that is why He sent his Son to us. So hopefully you see my point xsnrgman,

  • Proves my point that it's all a fairy tale. Great story not denying that but don't believe it to be true without some rational proof. I even said it out loud a couple of weeks ago to confirm it, "there is no God!" and nothing happened. Even stated that God doesn't exist and I didn't get struck my lightning, a meteor didn't hit my house and I didn't collaspe and die where I stood. WE as humans though can do a lot more for ourselves than a "god" can be expected to....

  • Just because you didn't die doesn't mean there isn't a God honestly... look around you even the creation sings His praises... I'll be praying that God will open up your eyes, xsnrgman.

  • i'm not one minded dude listen.. Science actually PROVES creationism meaning God did create the world. and of course my mind is limited but then again so is yours. our minds are FINITE. Of course He has the answers He knows what you will think before you think it. I think its amazing mind boggling.

  • Creation sings his praises? Are you talking about birds chirping or something? If God did create the world and it's infinite in all his knowledge that would make it greater than he is! What place would a god have in it then? I'm always reading and learning new things. Not all information online is true but I can spot what is a lie and not. If he has the answers and you ask the questions and don't get the answers then what does that say?! It's mind boggling that Christianity even still exists.

  • there are so many dudes playing music like that ... but 'Wake Me Up' is epic. :D

    Agree with musikfreak20011

  • I bet studio time is really expensive for him.

  • does anyone know what guitar he uses?

  • always impressed with dudes who can play more than 1 instrument.

  • :D just like me ... first time I saw this video i thought like he has a twin playing the drums. ^^

  • That's exactly wat I thought 4 the last month 2 lol =D

  • Who plays drums and guitar when they're doing concerts?

  • oooh, good point. never thought of that

  • I read he made this album himself, after the other members left. They then returned to tour with him in support of the new album.

  • man... i cant get enough of this song. i cant stop listening to it

  • haha, its such good piss though

  • the vid screams monsters inc with the whole door traveling thing. i think its kinda cool how hes a one man band...kinda like aaron's the almost project :)

  • except better guitar playing than aarons but whatever lol

  • sweet

  • great band great song

  • yeah. just awesome!!! ♥

  • awesome song!!

  • Hey good video! You're awesome on the drums, big ups foe real.

  • is he the only one in the band?

  • Technically yes. The guy in this video did all the instruments and vocals for the album. The North Pole Project was actually the title of the singer's new one man band, but Tooth and Nail asked if he'd release the material under the name Number One Gun. The frontman of Seven Places did something similar where the band broke up after 2 albums, but then a year or so later the frontman did a one man band worship project under the same name of Seven Places.

  • This music is amazing! Have you registered with ASCAP to earn royalties on this? I think that you are going to blow up.

  • I love this video it'f funny to watch because I can name pretty much every place that this video was made because I'm from chico Ca to.

  • That's cool I'm like 10 hours away from there

  • this guy looks like the little kid from Two and a half men :> of course, older...

  • I really like this song... glad i can finally see the video XD

  • Is that a Schecter Ultracure guitar?

  • one man band... i can dig that. this is a pretty cool song... i want it

  • i think at the end he's saying he finally found himself.

  • love this song, love this 'band'.  :]

  • Great song

    its like... umm

    Awsome!!

  • hey!! the old band is over?

  • kinda, they broke up after celebrate mistakes, then got backtogether, then called it quits again after the 2nd album. now, hes the whole band kinds, he just has hired ppl live i tihnk

  • One Man Band? lol Awsome music

  • He's incredible, such a good artist
