  • What is song is Tim performing in this video?

  • i didn't know he had come to the protests. i live in wisconsin and my high school did a walk out to raise support for the teachers

  • TIM IS NOT DEAD -.-! Idiots. Why do you believe every shit ? The rumors says he died because of a over dose drugs? Are you so stupid? If you would be a good and true fan you would know that he is straightedge. NO DRUGS,NO ALC,NO MEAT. Sorry but these kind of rumors are so bad. Sorry for my bad englisch, but say this your friends.

  • R.I.P. big guy

  • RIP TIM

  • @MCERFUS Why even joke about it? Or am I missing something..?

  • @MCERFUS Wtf he's not even dead.

  • All you guys he's not metal singer he's a punk rock singer

  • Yeaahhh Neil Young!! woo hoo!

  • 0:31-0:33 some guys stealing tims guitar!

  • My god....compare this to the original and it's like two different song. That's what happens when Rise Against covers stuff....it's the same song, yet somehow not....

  • what are the first three chords hes playing? :p

  • @stevezzorr

    It's tuned down to DADGBD

    it's played with the 1st and 3rd finger in the shape of the D on the G and the B strings]After that it's a G major 7 and C :)

  • @Sagaterious No, his guitar is tuned half a step down.. (Eb G# Db F# Bb Eb)

  • @StrikeAnywhere4Life Hmm , Tim's is the only cover I've seen in halfstep then, the origional is played in Double drop D.

  • @Sagaterious I know, but Tim plays every song half a step down... It fits his voice best.

  • Checkout my channel and sub

  • I love metal singers who can really sing!

  • @LucWrongwriten it's actually Punk rock, Hardcore punk or Melodic hardcore :)

  • damnit i wish i knew about this at the time!! i would have definatly went

  • Comment removed

  • tom morello's watching . . . kick ass

  • Tim was wearing that same scarf when I met him in November! Check the video on my channel! :D

  • For anyone saying that conservatism doesn't belong in punk rock.....are you aware that Johnny Ramone was an outspoken conservative? I guess I'm the outlaw because all of you douchebag liberals have somehow convinced kids that conservatives have no place in punk rock. Rise Against is part of the straight edge punk movement formed by Minor Threat. I don't know about you but I love eating meat, owning a pet, driving a (non) fuel efficient vehicle, and not wearing skinny jeans.

  • @AmsterdamFire321 Do you really think a vegetarian or a vegan doesn't like eating meat? Of course they do, but there are things that are just MORE IMPORTANT.

  • @tilocloud That's not what I said at all. I didn't evolve to the top of the food chain to eat wheat grass and tofu buddy.

  • I also want to point out that many teachers simply didn't show up to their job during the protest, causing schools to close. I wonder if they actually care about your children? There were also certified MD's writing fraudulent doctor's slips for anyone attending. All over collective bargaining. Who protects the taxpayers from your fat salaries and pensions? No one. Our fucking system can't pay for your bullshit. The Milwaukee teachers union sued over Viagra costs in their healthcare! f that!

  • @AmsterdamFire321 Your last two posts were extremely well put my friend. I completely agree.

  • Great band. Too bad they support a union that has sucked tons of tax dollars. Full pensions, free healthcare, and an average of $55,000 per public worker without any formal education. Fuck that. When the private class workforce cuts back ,then the public workforce (funded by the private jobs) needs to cut back as well.

  • tartan scarf..... representing the scots cmon the shepherds

  • That was amazing

  • This is so pretentious...

  • @catch22punk: how in any way, shape or form is this pretentious? He's probably one of the LEAST pretentious people in music nowadays. Watch an interview. It's crazy how humble all of them are. They perform and sing for their love of music and fans. In this video he's basically giving them a speech through song. A great voice and a talent with guitar is only a small part of it. Plus he wasn't the only one that performed either.....

  • @alanihawaii123 I've listened to Rise Against for a long time. Supported them, bought their music, t-shirts, paid to see them live. But Lately they've been jumping on the band wagon of whatever 'protest' or lame Hollywood liberal cause is cool at the time. This whole attitude of "I'm better than you because I'm behind this [insert trendy cause] and if you don't agree, you're ignorant,' is pretentiousness to the core. Up there singing an acoustic folk song at a union rally? C'mon, such a cliche.

  • @catch22punk uhhh... thats what they've always done, they're a punk band its kinda what they do.

  • @thepwnage79 Jumping on trendy 'Hollywood' causes was never part of Punk Rock. In fact, that's the antithesis of Punk Rock.

  • @catch22punk well, they are in fact not jumping on trendy 'Hollywood' causes so i don't really know what you're talking about. They believe in something, and aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in. They aren't doing it to be trendy, they're doing it because thats what they believe is the right thing to do.

  • dang, great quality

    

  • just an idea but who else thinks that tim mcilrath and tom morello should do some kind of record together whether it be acoustic or something heavier it doesnt matter it will still be great!

  • This guy is fucking unbelievable

  • @mustaphamirim

    good way or bad way?

  • @AlmostaFlipinSkater In a good way mate

  • wonder if he wants to perform at the "occupy wall street" protests

  • @Codylupardus: I've actually thought of that. Maybe an awesome acoustic version of "Disparity By Design"? =P

  • @alanihawaii123

    The First Drop is more relevant.

  • the voice of our generation

  • Neil Young is awesome.

  • haha i saw the sign saying "screw us we multiply" then i saw a sign saying "I'd rather be a teacher"

  • @Shikaku45 how can you miss it?

  • wow.... this is very nice ,thank you tim :D

  • ive never seen an acoustic guitar u plug in. cool!!!!

  • @DrPepper4me15 its called an electric acoustic there are quite popular

  • 5 people doesn't live in wisconsin

  • @naruterokun not to make fun of my own state. but i mean, come on dude. you have to be rocking a wisconsin education. 5 people DONT live in wisconsin.

  • @RaptorScream79 i'm spanish sorry xD

  • @naruterokun hahahaha. it's fine. i just have to take a cheap shot at wisconsin when i can. it's pretty bullshit here.

  • @RaptorScream79 jajajajaja

  • TIM IS GOD

  • some artist stand there and do nothing than look and watch.

    most artist think only of money!

    thank god we have artist like,Tim McIlrath,Tom Morello, Wayne Kramer, Tom Cabel, and Mike McColgan who stand up and join the crowd and dont be scared to put some a stick for the covermend her plan's!

  • @ravbruggen2 And Billy Bragg.

  • @ravbruggen2 NOFX, Anti-Flag were at Ocuppy Wall Street - punk artists are with people, with middle and low class - a lot of punk have big hearts.

  • @ravbruggen2

    Didn't all of them played for the rally for wisconsin's workers? ._. (this event)

  • @ravbruggen2 Dont forget Justin Sane and all those in Anti-Flag ;)

  • Comment removed

  • I love how Tim stands up for whatever he believes in. Makes me feel like I can too.

  • GO TIM!

  • who is that at 0:38? it looks like aaron rodgers

  • i watched appeal to reason so much the cd snapped

  • both tea partyers and the unions are right to a point. Im just tired of libtards as much as reptards. tim is awesome.

  • Tim took a amazing song and-dunno know how- made it so much better! like if you agree

  • Tim took a amazing song and-dunno know how- made it so much better! like if you agree

  • Tim took a amazing song and-dunno know how- made it so much better! like if you agree

  • Tim took a amazing song and somehow-i dunno- made it even better!

  • O and I apologize for the major typos I hope your all smart enough to fill in the blanks(I doubt it)

  • You are all greedy people that think about yourselves, i'm I student in high school and I know that teachers and state workers are over paid cry babies. Why don't you ADULTS try and think about other people that are suffering like the taxpayers who ate paying for all you little benefits, and collective bargaining which is a load of crap you do t need. Think about your children or if you don't have any then other peoples children line friends, IM going to have with this whole debt when I have to

  • @puregodnguns Did you just call people stupid due to your lack of ability to type? That makes sense I guess...

    And also, you realize these ADULTS you speak of, are the taxpayers? And due to the current state of the economy, most of these people will work into their 70s before a possiblity of retirement? Quit bitching about yourself, and talking about others, when you don't know fully what you're speaking of. Graduate school, get out, and try to live. That's the way you earn the right to talk.

  • If D. boon played... if only...

  • I'm from Chicago and when I heard Tim was going to be playing in front of the capitol with people like Tom Morello. I just had to go, and I did. I was right up front : )

  • @Megalodon087 I am from Chicago and was to poor to get myself out there PS I am a union member so thank you PS I hope you like a band called 88 fingers louie they rock.

  • omg thank you very much for uploading this

    i didn't know that tim was singing this song, but its... fucking great!!! :-)

  • Lol awsome!! Did anyone else notice the sign, " screw us and we multiply" ?

  • @Shikaku45 That sign is truth. The more they screw us, the more we speak out about it. The more we speak out, the more other people around us notice what's going on. They realize that they're also getting screwed, and join us in speaking out against things like a billion dollar cut in education funding for the state.

    This is what democracy looks like.

  • @macgyver2210 haha yep. i know. well thanks for your well written reply,

  • @macgyver2210 I hope not, since democracy is mob rule, and no laws or rights apply, since the majority can do anything, that's why we have (had) a constitutional Republic, but unions and lobbyist and bankers and others of the like have polluted this great nation.

  • @Shikaku45 i laughed lol. thats the only one that mostly stood out to me. hahaha

  • Is that Tom Morello @ 0:31?

  • @racingfan15 yeah it actually is tom and tim both played there

  • @racingfan15 yea i was thinking the same thing i think it is

  • gives good tribute to neil young. i like it

  • singing the message to the right generation, just sucks they dont even know one of the biggest punk icons is performing right in front of them.

  • Comment removed

  • I respect tim's views on public unions, but collective bargaining isn't a natural right, it's given to the public unions by the state, and the state can take it away if they abuse it, and it looks like they have.

  • @1blackdeath51501 you are wrong.

  • @MTVVH1sucks please, humble me with your facts and knowledge of it, since you can't back up a statement like that, that statemenet is both ignorant and it isn't thought through, believe me, tim's an amazing artist, and I love his music, but don't agree at all with him.

    ~dan

  • @1blackdeath51501 what a fucking suprise that you jump on the offense! when you have no idea what part of your statement I claim to be wrong. Look asshole I am a hardcore political activist/musican from chicago and A PROUD UNION MEMBER so back the fuck off before I hand you your ass. PS the last Dan I knew from Chicago was a fat little bald dummy with a lisp who thought he was better than anyone because he was on MTV what's a matter rich boy can't connect with your roots anymore? crawl away boy.

  • @MTVVH1sucks oh I'm sorry...Dan hahaha

  • @MTVVH1sucks I'm in the lower middle class mate, working two jobs so I can fix up my dad's old corvette, the family heirloom, besides the guns, and I'm just trying to see what makes you believe in issues like this, since all my life I have questioned everything that was taught to me and came to the conclusion of liberty, I'm just curious on how people can think any differently. and no I'm not fat, I play a regular amount of football and airsoft, not to mention I'm in a militia.

  • @1blackdeath51501 " I'm just trying to see what makes you believe in issues like this" BULLSHIT! Is that why you called me "ignorant"??? PS I am about to loose my fucking JOB because of this shit mother fucker so you and your daddy can go back to working on that fucking corvette you guys love so much while I fight to feed my family you dumb piece of shit.

  • @MTVVH1sucks don't you see? that the unions and the banks and elitists did this to you? don't you see the deterioration of America? don't you see the needless wars we are fighitng, killing around a MILLIOIN people? don't you see the injustices happening to good Americans? don't you see what would happen if we had the America the founders invisioned? join me and the thousands of people that fight for liberty! and not the bankers that made you loose your job. I'm getting by, but by a small margin.

  • @1blackdeath51501 "the unions?" and "the elitists"? wow you are so smart. Do you have any idea how many wars we are in right now? or why? oh and let me guess Obama is an Elitist right? lol I stated to notice the "deterioration" during the W. Bush era. Don't talk to me about the Founders, a group of white elite assholes who thought it was cool to own black people ha what about the Wall street? what about Big Oil? what about the party of NO? you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

  • @MTVVH1sucks what about the Koch Brothers? why did you not point your dumb fucking fingure at them? oh no its the fucking UNIONS right? PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!

  • @MTVVH1sucks Both of you make a good argument. but would you please just shut the fuck up and listen to the music......... and take your stupid ass argument that noone cares about into your own comments.....THANKS :)

  • @303drummerkid303 no, only one of us is making good arguments and you don't need to listen so why don't you shut the fuck up? If you want to go threw life with your head in the sand as others die in it, that's your problem but people like us acutally give a shit. PS keep playing drums cause you guys are a dying breed since people are too poor to afford homes nowadays...thanks );

  • @MTVVH1sucks deregulation for bankers is a fight W. Bush won for them along time ago. Welcome to reality

  • @303drummerkid303 it's called SHARED SACRIFICE FOR A REASON! if you think that the wealthy of this nation have sacrificed a thing then you are just plain dumb. The GOP are ready to shutdown the govement over not closing tax loopholes on Privite jets while people can't pay the rent and you want to tell me that the Reagan's failed tax plan is still going to work? hahaha you need a wake up call. The W. Bush tax cuts were a mistake and we need to at least go back to the Clinton tax rate...at least.

  • @1blackdeath51501 "mate"? who do you think you are Mel Gibson? well you sure as hell are starting to sound like him. I warned you kid...now crawl away.

  • @1blackdeath51501 wages for the working class have stayed the same for the past 35 years while CEO pay has went threw the roof BTW follow the money dummy and you will find the truth

  • @1blackdeath51501 sure dumbass lets cut and cut and cut but not increase revenue on the rich at all right? I hope you are not some dumb teabagger troll just looking for a fight cause you just fucked with wrong guy.

  • @MTVVH1sucks the rich are the ones who gives you a job, and make life better because of new ways of living, and even if you taxed everyone 100 percent, you will not even have half of our national debt, the government takes in about 2.7 trillion dollars and still spends 4+ trillion a year, if you take all the currency's physical dollars together and convert them to dollars, you still won't have enough money to pay off our debt, an aurgument wouldn't work with you people, but the collapse will.

  • @1blackdeath51501 wow you sound just like Rush Limbaugh. If you are too stupid to notice the "Rich" have not created any new jobs while they're profits have never been so high. And the Majority of jobs that they did make PAY NOTHING. Taxes have been lower now then they have been for the last 35 years. We have seen this movie before with FDR and DDE you are TOOL! the GOP will do anything to not raise taxes on the rich while they cut social programs and teachers you are as dumb as they come buddy

  • @1blackdeath51501 the rich have not made my life any better. It is (US) the working people who give and give and get nothing in return. We buy the shit that is made in china, we pay hand over fist for the huge price of gas, we are the ones who get shitty healthcare, we are the ones who rush into a burning building to save your stupid ass, we are the ones who teach your kids, we are the ones who haul your trash, we are the one who do all of the work and pay all of the taxes soooo fuuuuckkk you.

  • @1blackdeath51501 7,700 people those are the people the GOP are fighting for, they don't give a fuck about you dummy.They are willing to shutdown the goverment to protect they're sugerdaddys. The republican party are the party of the rich NOT the People. 80% of Americans want to raise taxes on the rich and people like you need to wake up. Just ask Bill Gates idiot!

  • @1blackdeath51501 Obama bailed them out and tried to regulate them but the GOP would only give them money but do anything but regulate them just ask Liz Warren lol

  • I think we should raise the taxes to what Dwight D Eisenhower or FDR had them for these greedy bastards, what do you think of that? go ahead look it up..I will wait. You need a wake up call buddy. Come on man go ahead and show me Walker's bullshit tax graph so I can get a good laugh. I don't know where you get the balls starting shit on this page and thinking you can get away with it. Go hug Eric Cantor for stopping Federal Aid to Joplin Mo. to get tax cuts for the rich. Do you have a PJ? huh?

  • do you even know what a PJ is boy?

  • @1blackdeath51501 looks like you have been humbled welcome to the real world kid.

  • OMG i was there and didnt reconise his voice =( damn it! NICE JOB TIM!!!!

  • Oh my god D:! He was there!?

    What an inspirational man. C:

  • seriously, who disliked this?

  • the unions must work together to shut down the economy until rights are restored a simple example of 500 or more tractor trailers blocking highways surrounding political buildingd, garbage piling up no snow removal, but the unions must hold steadfast in denying all services until rights are restored,

  • @Killthequiet YOUR ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIGHT I WANNA MEET HIM SO BAD I can't wait to go to my first RA concert next month and endgame in 5 saudade woohooo RISE AGAINST IS THE BEST FUCKING BAND IN THE WORLD

  • awesome

  • ITS ALL ABOUT THE KIDS,,, watch?v=-dGHFmKjIeI

  • What's the name of the song ?

    Rise against for the win !

  • @Horty116 ohio

  • @Horty116 haha it's "Ohio" by Neil Young / Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

  • why is nobody singing?

  • whats the song referencing, "four dead in Ohio"????

  • @befrying

    Kent State University, Kent OH, shooting of May 4, 1970. Students protesting against the Vietnam war were gunned down. It happened, and can happen again, sadly.

  • This guy should be cleaning a toilet. toiletry forever

  • @2paramount2 AND YOU SHOULD BE HIS ASSISTANT

  • Solidarity Forever!

  • really good video!

  • You have to be freaking kidding me! All you guys should have been out there 2 years ago like I was! The only reason your all making noise now is because the situation finally started to affect you.Its too late now. Everyone woke up too late. Store food and water, this is just the begining! Your all fighting over something that will be worthless soon- Its called THE US DOLLAR.

  • Good for Tim for doing this, it takes a lot of guts to talk and perform infront of hundreds that are angry, he's good at keeping the the crowd at peace.

  • Rise Against sounds like a boy band. They should have asked Rage Against the Machine to play. The Capitol would be on fire and Walker would be in a gibbet before they finished playing.

  • @tattat44 For your information Rise Against is not a boy band...they aren't trying to promote violence but trying to keep peace during an angry time for Americans, and Tom Morello was there, but you wouldn't know that because your too stupid and have no respect...

  • @riseagainst1616

    He's just trying to cache in on the spotlight to sell a few more of his godawful screechy albums.

  • @tattat44 first off Rise Against's albums are not "godawful screechy" 2nd learn to spell correctly. 3rd you probably listen to crappy music so shut your face.

  • @riseagainst1616

    Adj. 1. god-awful - very unpleasant; "hellish weather"; "stop that god-awful racket"

    screechy [ˈskriːtʃɪ]

    adj -ier, -iest

    loud and shrill

    Don't you have some math homework you should be doing or something?

  • @tattat44 if u dont like them why did u come to this video that is pretty hard to find and specific? ur going out of your way to insult them. FUCK U PRICK

  • @MrToyo15

    Have you been living under a rock? Wisconsin is front page news. No wait, I take that back, of course you're living under a rock.

  • @tattat44 You make me sick

  • @R33DY94

    Good. Maybe then you'll throw up all those syrupy ideas the media has force fed you.

  • @tattat44 you are STUPID !!!!!!!! rage against is the gayest band ever !!!!!

  • @sb3k97

    Then why do you have like, a full page of comments on a Rage video obsessing over which band member is better and screaming at other people to shut up.

    If they are gay, you are their butt buddy, that is for sure.

  • Regardless of your political beliefs people just listen to the music.

  • Tim Mcilrath is amazing and he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, that goes for the entire Rise Against band

  • this is a really good cover, i hope its on the album

  • @dragondude2256 no it won't. the titles of the album are published...

  • @AscendingWinter

    Are you people insane? I mean I really don't understand. He is not supporting the people. He is supporting Unions and Teachers who are paid by the taxpayer. The taxpayers who voted in a Republican Scott Walker and a Republican Legislature.

    He is actively rally against the people of Wisconsin.

  • @fishblades Quit baggin on Tim just cuz your jealous that he actually has the guts to get out there and sing for what he believes in, unlike you who is just hiding behind youtube and supporting big fat jerks. GO RISE AGAINST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • @DrPepper4me15

    Way to not address any of the things I said and just spout nonsense.

    I'm jealous.. I support big fat jerks. Wow.

  • what's the name of the song??

  • @ScipioXXIV Ohio, sry ^^

  • Who cares about these parasites and why is this guy singing for these people? Does he realize that the people he made a song for are protesting because they want to be able to use the STATE to steal more money from other people????

  • @MoneyIsSilver

    First of all these "parasites" are working for the people (teachers and other public jobs).

    They don't want more money they just don't want the cuts Walker is trying to put on them

    Furthermore, powerless Unions will make workers more helpless against their bosses and CEOs.

  • @KasCalwein "working for the people" means nothing because you are generalizing 'people'. for instance, I'm a person and they're not working for me, nor do I want to pay teachers. However, I am forced to pay property taxes or I get my house taken from me by force - that's extortion when anyone else does that. The fact that teachers live off extorted money makes them parasites - pure and simple.

    If they want to be teachers, they should work at private schools where people voluntarily pay them.

  • nice song! tim's voice is so impressing!!!!

  • my favorite part was seeing tom morello in this video

  • why are a lot of people texting? id be like "OMG!!! ITS RISE AGAINST!!!"

  • i fucking love tim mcilrath he is my inspiration ! :3
