  • Back when Hit The Lights was good. Colin was the shit.

  • no se porque me fascina esta rola =)

  • Hit the lights is not the same without Colin!!

  • nick was such a better backup vocalist...colin was the shit.

  • Colin is now known as "The Situation".

  • Is it me or this song like the best live song ever?!?!? Love this band, I wish that guy wouldn't have left but I will Support these guys all the way(:

  • when Colin left, that's when they died for me... then again, I knew the guys when they were still playing bowling alleys in Michigan and people thought hit the lights was me telling them to literally turn the lights off. When they played at Michigan State, they gave us a shout out cause we always hung out after the shows. Those were better days.

  • the lyrics are so brutal for a pop-punk song

  • POP PUNK FANS!!!! CHECK OUT ZERO THE HERO!!!!

  • Absolutely. Love. This. Song. Hands down, amazing.

  • Collin looks just like Brandon from Condtions lol

  • everyone on here is dumb as shit and is clearly not in the music business almost all bands use auto-tune and every single live performance released is remixed in a studio then synced with the video. what you hear on a studio recording is more than 50 percent how good the person who recorded it and mixed it is and 50 percent the band.

  • @MrLoganbeach Well of course they take a soundboard and re-mix it for home listening, but autotune? Nah. Not for bands like this. A good example is Incubus. No auto-tune, you can hear the 'natural', of course the tracks are re-mixed because... well, mixing is what MAKES music, live OR recorded. Some kickass bands can sound like shit without a good sound engineer. It's fucking annoying when the guitar is too loud, the voice is too quiet, etc.

  • i wonder where collin ross right now?hmmm

  • Not my cup of hot chocolate, since I don't like tea

    back to Rise Against

  • this song is friggin amazing

  • this is live....it sounds an octave lower.

  • @cgman04 You can autotune live performances. But this isn't live. Thats like saying a cd is live. They recorded this and did some mixing/eqing then released it.

  • @novacircuit why is it so impossible for a singer to sound good live?

  • @novacircuit not everything is autotuned

  • Nostalgiaaaaa <3

  • Colin Ross is AMAZING!!!! A lot of singers are not very good live but he pulls it off sooo good!

  • This AIN'T LIVE!!! :S

  • I love these guys but they sound alot like New Found Glory

  • bass player hit his first note and realised he wasnt turned up. great song, they're tight

  • the new singer is sooooo much better

  • @JAKEISONECOOLCAT um no not if you know about true singing skillz which collin has and nick lacks a little poise, but hey i thought the same thing you did at first

  • my favorite song by them. :)

  • i thought this was a metallica cover lol

  • NO LIFE TIL LEA...TH...ER....???

  • @ryoXweedXblackpepper hit... the ... light..s :(

  • colin is the man ...whish he was still there ...but nick deff kills it too

  • your fucking faggots hit the lights lets fight all of you at once lets do it im bassically a girl. i aint hard to find now holla back nigger

  • @starcraftfan9117734 kill yourselves

  • What kind of amps are they using it sounds really good

  • Comment removed

  • @MrPinaka lol not a good drumming? dude they're ok

  • I loved The Old School Hit The Lights Members. More Solid Punk Sound, although nick is a pretty talented lad. He has really good vocals but has brought the band more into the POP punk scene.

  • @zethband They have always been pop-punk o_O

  • WRONG BAND HEHEHE......

  • The old guitarist/new singer's better than this dude. Not whiney. Still a bit whiney though. Is everyone trying to do a Jordan Pundik impression? If so, why? Go for more trashy sounds like Fat Mike! :)

  • These were the fucking days.

  • he looks like THE SITUATION

  • @daftyslikk lol a little bit but i think it's just because of the camera quality and the lighting

  • these guys now blow live.... the guitarists really need to work on their tones a bit... they just have a muddy mix..

  • @Jessishobo07 They also play extremely live. I was more focused on the volume than tone, so I didn't get a good hear of it. Their drummer is a cunt live, he beats the shit out of everything unnecesarily hard...great way to fuck his cymbals over. I'm a drummer, so it super annoyed me.

  • @BashYouLongtime its punk pop dude... grow some balls

  • @damgriff It's expensive shit, grow some respect and intelligence. You wanna fuck over $200 cymbals in a week be my guest. I'd rather make them last much longer and not rape my income with having to replace my shit all the time because I play like a blatant dickhead. Also, 95% of pop punk sucks cock, sounds the same, and is rediculously gay neon-colored styled all kinds of shit. It's for tools man.

  • @BashYouLongtime Couldn't agree more. I haven't been able to get into a lot of new 21st century Pop-Punk bands because I've heard it all before by other bands. 90s stuff was good and the bands that have continued into the 90's are good coz they progress. But bands like YM@6 and ATL etc, they make me was hook myself to their ball sack and make their voices break.

  • @PunkRawk90sStyle YM@6 Aren't so much pop punk on the new record, I think they're actually an artist worth giving a shot. ATL I was a fanboy for a while, got out of it, they play good live imo-but I know they've blown up to be way too big now. It also seems like they were trying to give people too much of a Blink 182 experience whilst they were still broken up. But yeah, Pop Punk is so gay, it's easy as HELL to right as well. I could make a full length EPs worth of pop punk guitars in 1 day.

  • @BashYouLongtime

    Yeah, but YM@6 are aiming for like Indie now. That's even worse. Sounding the same like th ePigeon Detectives and The Fratellis etc.

    But like, the band I'm in atm, we initially aimed for a pop-punk sort of thing. Then we all just thought 'screw this' And now we sort of, merghing more hardcore pop-punk acts like Four Year Strong, with scatty Punk bands like old green day and NoFX. It's so much more satisfying and not whiney at all.

  • @PunkRawk90sStyle Yeah. But I think they were less gay than the avg. pop punk to begin with. Like "If I Were In Your Shoes" isn't so much pop punk as it is alternative. But besides the point, indie will always be awesome, and I love The Fratellis. Dude! Same here, my band started off pop punk and we got to the point "this is gay" and now we're experimental because we have nice acoustic stuff, serious eletric songs, and breakdowns (we have planned). It's a lot more satisfying, I agree 100%.

  • @BashYouLongtime The Fratellis's first albumw as really good. Second one was disapointinhg. It's a good job they aren't together any more. The only thing that's difficult though about starting heavy with breakdowns etc is that you can ony get to a certain heavyness before it sounds trashy. Then yu have to go lighter. But cool :)

  • @PunkRawk90sStyle I never knew the broke up, I was kinda only along for Chelsea Dagger. I'm kinda a poser from that aspect, but oh well. Well, we're going to probably play in D standard. And breakdowns aren't going to be overused. We have very different songs. Jason Mraz type acoustic songs, a Bowling For Soup like punk song, There For Tomorrow serious kind of song w/ a solo, and a pretty upbeat trashy song like What The Hell Is A Gigawatt by FYS. So I dig the variety a lot more.

  • @BashYouLongtime Fuck The Fratelli's. I've hated them since before I ever even knew about them. The Chicago Blackhawks use Chelsea Dagger as their goal song and I hate hearing it. Don't know how The Fratelli's got started on this video but i absolutely love this song and Hit The Lights.

  • @b1oodyromance87 Don't really care, I legitmately never listened to anything but Chelsea Dagger-jammy song but w/e. I bet they feel really cool when they make a goal? HTL is kinda suck. They're really repetitive.

  • holy shit, his vocals are so amazing live :O ive only recently heard them i love them :D

  • eew fuckoff

  • their vocal harmonies are because the guy doing the backing vocals is now the lead singer. still love em.

  • i hold so much respect for collin cause he does his best to make the song sound so authentic and so much like the recording. he sings so well live. you dont see that much with this kind of music anymore, its too much about looking pretty now.

  • Cheap NFG.......... Like, I like this music? But wtf, if I wanted THIS kinda pop punk? I'd go to the ones who do it REALLY well, NFG.

  • omg all fucking bands lke this r fucking gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy except for fireworks =)

  • his voice sounds like bubble gum pop?named after a metallica song?GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!POSE­RS CATERING TO 13 YR OLD GIRLS-I'LL TAKE A BODY BAG RATHER THAN LISTEN TO THIS SHIT

  • colin never should have left... though the new tunes are amazing - he was ALWAYS pitch perfect live.

  • @poppunkbartender

    so true!

  • there tone is so .... beautiful sounding live. ?

  • this set is perfect.

    tone, speed, ambiance,

    stage presence, but the best part,

    at least in my opinion,

    are the vocal harmonies

    flawless. very few bands now a days can still pull that off

  • @SilentPenguin51 i agree completely man this band is like perfect live. The vocal harmonies of many bands suck dude

  • what kind of amps are they using? I see a mesa rectifier, but is that a single or a dual? The other guitarist looks like hes got some sort of marshall? They're tone is sick on cd and live!

  • @hondacrx8989

    It might be a dual or triple rectifier, and the marshall might be a jcm.

  • the band name is a metallica rip off

  • love this band :]

  • these guys fell off the map fer a bit..I love their old stuff =]

  • anyone know where i can get the bass tabs for this?

  • did you think you had something to prove, well...you do.

  • me gusta me gusta

    good live song (Y

  • @KJBPSkipper it night not be your particular swagger, but Colin Ross can fucking sing. Don't hate.

  • He sounds like all the other little rich momma -boy singers.I came across this vid by accident when I was looking up hit the lights by the best rock band in the world sorry.

  • metallica is awesome but thats no reason to talk shit about a band you know nothing about.

    - nothing personal.

    :)

  • Listen ,I already know all I want to know about this guy and his mainstream sounding pop rock band,sorry,there is surely nothing you can tell me that would change my mind.Now please figure this out,I do not care if you do not like me expressing my freedom of speech,good day.

  • i enjoy your all time low reference :D

  • why thank you :D

  • You sound mad jaded, mb even bitter. But thats no reason to diss an ORIGINAL sounding singer like Colin.....who got hit the lights to the level where Nick really couldnt possibly fuck it up cuz hes a sick BACKUP.....i mean really, they were big BEFORE nick. period.

  • @nox1sxmessenger

    i agree, colin was the best tbh.

  • ahhahahh dude you eat so much cock

  • @GageAgain its called autotune

  • @KJBPSkipper dude metallica turned into a bunch of pussies about 10 years ago... soo yeaa

  • @waaahhooo 10 years ago? I thought they always were.

  • @elementX95 my mistake. good call

  • @waaahhooo :). 

  • They didn't even get the name from Metallica, they got the name from an 80's skate video. And just because the guys voice isn't "metal" enough for you, doesn't mean it universally sucks. Frankly if this guy sounded like James Hetfield, then it would probably be a pretty shit pop punk band.

  • im surprised how many people are comparing this guys to other bands, come on guys its hit the lights, they're a huge band haha

  • wow they're amazing live :D

  • The lead singer sounds alot like the singer from Simple Plan.

  • I think it sounds like new found glory? :)

  • They play freggin' sweet live :)

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song. its so uh... like the best hate song ever... i think? but any way i love it. =]

  • cant find em on myspace but it says last loggin 2 yrss ago

  • @Tommy21797 thats not theres then. it should have the new ep logo and should have that as the background and it should be pretty huge

  • this song is demented/hilarious(:

  • seeing live videos of colin does make me miss him

    also her eyes say yes makes me miss colin too, its an unreallll song!

    but nick still does the old songs as good live i think so its kinda cool

  • They are really good live, and not many bands are good live. <33

  • @Ibuki0101 They are good live. I saw them live like 2 times, 2 years ago.

    They kind of get the crowd going and then the atmosphere is awesome. Same with New Found Glory.

  • Nice. That sounds sick, wish I could see them live. Wonder where all they tour near.

  • tons of bands are good live

  • xwallinx why are you even watching this is all your gunna do is talk about how gay you think it is.

  • xwallinx your comment was whack and not funny

  • xwallinx your gay.

  • LOL

  • colin and nick are both amazing in there own way i think colin is more voccally talented but nicks the best frontman

  • they used to be kickass live

  • nick crushes on skip school start fights. i like him more than the original

  • Great singer... it´s a pitty he left the band

  • man, their new singer REALLY can't sing compare to their old one.

  • sooo..did the guitar player take over the singing position in this band for the new album?

  • HAAA

    no man they just got a new singer

    cool story bro

  • nah i think the guitarist did replace the singer and they got a new guitarist.

  • nope guitarist went to vox and they got a new guitarist

  • yeah you were fuckin right, weren't you dickhead?

  • yes he did god

  • your cool as fuck man, i give a shit about your opinion

  • ASSHOLE

  • sorry we all cant be metallica

  • green day is emo punk just listen to that new songs of them "21 guns" -.-' crappiest shit ever

    grow up and listen to this new pop punk great band : D

  • I cant decide which I like better, Three Oh Nine or Bodybag. =P

  • ...Like Green Day.....Pffff Another One "Green Day" Band!!!!

  • hello there nothing like green day

  • yah i know but why? Did he just one day decide to quit the band?

  • what happened to colin? did he just leave?

  • He left a while ago.

  • Oh yeah~ I like how they just seem to be doing their own thing, totally ignoring eachother! I don't know, it just seems like they're doing their own thing all at the same time, sometimes going out of the lines and it sounds good! Truly... It's really cool XD I have never found many amazing bands like HTL where they sound awsome recorded and live! Just wanted to point that out XD I am such a comment whore :'3

  • Um? What is with all the hate? Don't like how they sound now, well... go listen to the older albums with the music from the singers you like! Anyways, I love this song and it's beat... xD Haha! The afro! xD A few kids at my school have them, but not as big as his xDDD They did amazing live, and I love how they sound! When I saw the HTL live video(was listening to NSN) I was like, "I have to watch this and listen!!!" And guess what? I DON'T REGRET IT :P

  • i didnt see/hear anything wrong with this. pretty awesome. ^_^

  • I MISS COLIN......

  • This is absolutely classic. Colin really did make the band what they are today, but I have to say that Nick has carried the torch nicely. I don't think he's as vocally talented as Colin, but he's done his job. This is the only band, that I truly feel has "progressed" throughout the years. Most people use "progress" to cover up the fact a band put out a shitty album, but HTL has gotten better through the years. Through a new lead singer and all. HTL for life. BTW, I love Omar's fro. Haha

  • ''when im done with you there'll be nothing left of you cos my voice will make you wanna cut your own eyes outtt tonight..... your gunna need a body bag...''

  • Horrible...

  • seriously i cant stand this band live sound like he has a cold.

  • "i sing through my nose face down in a body bag"

  • hahahahahahaha nice

  • love the band, but this is funny^

  • ♥

  • Mr Kotter is totally playing guitar in hit the lights right now

  • What the fuck is this?

  • I think both singers brought something awesome to the table and both did a good job in their own right. Hit the Lights was, and still is an awesome band, regardless of the singer :]

  • i absolutely love the new coast to coast ep...i just wish it was colin singing it...but nick does a good job...and plus i know that colin is much happier not being on the road anymore...trust me on this

  • colin has a better vocal range but nick is an awesome singer. personally i lyk the new album better

  • Not trying to discredit Nick's efforts at all, I think he's got a much higher vocal range than Colin but let's not fool ourselves, Colin is the better singer of the two despite of that. I do agree however, that their new album is a lot catchier and bouncier, I like that a lot and Nick is doing an excellent job at keeping this band alive and writing good music. I hope this band never goes away because they are the best pop punk out there right now.

  • wait this is the original singer right?

  • yes

  • Regardless who is singing now, hit the lights still kicks more ass than a Bunch of up and coming bands that are on the market now. Colin was good, but its good to see Nick up there since he was the in the original band. And the new guitarist they got who took Nick's spot is good too, so it works. I like the writing style now between the new 5 of them.

    Just downloaded Coast to Coast, I recommend it to you all!

  • Man, imagine how Nick feels with all of you dickheads complaining about his voice. Colin is gone. That chapter is done. Hit the Lights is doing the best they can to keep bringing you people music without making anymore drastic changes to the band. Granted, Nick isn't as strong a vocalist, but it feels comfortable that it's at least somebody talented from the original band up there as a frontman. His voice has always been in the recordings, just as backup. The new cd sounds great, no doubt about.

  • I totally agree. I miss Colin, but at least they used someone already in the band (Nick), instead of bringing in a completely new singer. And sorry - I meant to hit thumbs up on your comment and I hit thumbs down! Youtube wont let me change it.

  • colin > nick.

    although the music is a lot better on the newer album and the coast to coast ep. a lot bouncier!

  • I don't like Nick's version. He's to nasally. I miss Colin. :[

    Sucks cause this is my ALL TIME favorite song by them. Oh well...

  • i was so dissapointed by their 3rd album but their ep and this is a stick up is effing amazing!!!!!!! colin shouldve stayed in the banddd

    the first two albums have better lyrics and music

  • Too bad Colin isnt in the band anymore. I really dont understand why he quit? They were starting to get pretty big when he left.For some reason I dont see them staying around for a while. Their latest album does'nt even compare to the first one.Colins voice was just as good live as it was on cd.I havent seen them with Nick yet but for some reason I dont thik his voice will be that good.

  • it took me a while but i LOVE the new cd now...and i guess whats his face that sings now was sort of in the band before...he did backup stuff for the cd and i guess some guitar stuff live...ive seen htl three times twice with the first singer and once with the new and theyre both very good

  • Wow, Colin is one of those rare pop punk breed of singers that despite their lack of vocal range is able to deliver the notes on the right pitch and harmonization like on their albums, I wish more singers devoted more energy in sounding this good rather than jump around on stage like morons.

  • theyre one of the better bands of this new poppunk generation. keep it going guys youre unreal!

  • i love them

  • i dunno, i think nick is good but colins voice suited the band more in my opinion.

  • colin is so much fucking better than nick.

    no question about it.

  • shame he didnt stick around then hey.

  • mint song likes

  • Love this vocalist.

  • cool
