Protest The Hero- Blindfolds Aside

[Cas6595]

i think that protest the hero has done something new and amazing everything album

[accessandamplify]

Love how it manages to retain it's sense of melody considering it's a progressive minded song.

[oaketree]

Such a good song. Too bad they suck shit now.

[Sodgez123]

LOVING THE SIDE-VIEW DRUM CAM!

[ryouta0214tarou]

演奏力半端ないわー！

この時代のロディーウォーカーさんはマジでかっこいいわー！

（今もかっこいいけど。）

[jmq428]

god they are so young here

[Imsirblackalot]

Ah fuck, Argument in the top comments. Now I HAVE to go back and see what the squabble is about. Goddammit.

[JulyArises]

anyone else who hears a resemblance to "State of the Union" by Rise Against, at 0:10 - 0:20? :D both awesome songs, gosh this takes me back :)

[xRyuzakii]

Those times... oh my god

[722erodz]

sounds good : ]

[randomyoko]

theyre so hot.

[christopher2step]

Protest The Hero, one of the few bands that still sound great in 240p.

[KOAnimeOtaku]

My heroes

[FreeBrawlers]

you know they r watching themselves watching them shooting themselves. what a fucking mind freak

[pochaplex]

Starting at 1:38 is pure guitar rippage.

[nickc916]

this video is shit they cut some good parts out of the song

[deadpisser88]

@nickc916 It won't be the first time music videos cut the song down. This is actually their best music video (along with C'est La Vie), simply because it at least touches upon the lyrics of the song (Kezia being sentenced to death by firing squad).

[nogbut]

28 seconds in, listen to them drums

[bjtr93]

wish it had the outro

[xxSt0ne]

The bassist is fucking amazing

[THSDroxsmypantiesoff]

yeah check out this ontario local band myspace Dot com / swydhc we are Sleep when you're dead check us out

[TFTimotheus]

The ending gives me chills.

[shitkicker3000]

first song i have ever heard from them whe it came out and loved it and still listen tell this day =) PTH for the win

[xXCujo711Xx]

not even 4 years later and they look soooooo grown up now

[COBfan43]

This is quite possibly one of my favorite songs in the world. Simply amazing every second.

[arlothellama]

Whoa, it tells you if the band is playing in a venue near you. Now THAT is a useful function.

Kudos yo whoever came up with that.

[Squeebfooth]

im sure they can play blindfolded too

[GraTricolorSPFC]

Good music. Congratulations.

[SnookyTehPanda]

Oh man. i love this song. Not long until their next album is dropped. Can't wait!

[wixom5145]

now this is knowing your instrument inside and out =D

an amazing song for sure

[samster317]

Rody Walker looks so young!!

[CrImEs44]

BEST ALBUM EVER 

[AdAyToReMeMbErReR]

@CrImEs44 fortress is right up there with keiza :D shame their new album doesn't quite match those two albums :(

[Shizzy77]

Shorter than album version :'(

[TOOCOOLFORYOUHA]

Anyone else see the drummer do a blindfolded stick-throw at 3:20?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Mayhem3033]

drop the fucking gun.

[dlwatso15]

A sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts.

[blakieblake1989]

I like this one more than the Vevo one

[hayabusa118]

This video should have 180,000,000,000,732 views :c

[dilland1945]

did i mention i love the bassist shits crazy like BAM ;)

[crosswalkXpresspay89]

greatest solo ever. enough said

[Timmysk8er89]

@crosswalkXpresspay89

Listen to 'Animals As Leaders'

ZOMG 0_o

[GrindXcoreXNinja]

Epic song, Epic video.

They die a true hero's death.

With blindfolds aside.

[VirusofLife182]

@thebestaround2000 -next season-

...dary.

[TehProjectMan]

This is the first metal song that I can safely say is beautiful.

[jmiester25]

@TehProjectMan the first metal song that i said was beautiful was when i first heard Octavarium by Dream Theater....the ending hit me so hard, it was like i was on heroin (i've never done heroin, nor will i ever, but i know the effects of it) but every song of Protest the Hero's is beautiful music, and it still packs a punch

[Onimyst]

@jmiester25 Killswitch Engage has contrastingly beautiful songs.

[jmiester25]

@Onimyst in their own way.

[mctuber68]

Epiic, haha i love how his cymbals are all fucked up

[gorabisimo]

2:07 - 3:53 = most epic section off kezia imho

[Blindstorm200]

3:08 - 3:11 fucking epic !!!

[Tharkenist]

rofl, this sucks :D he sounds like a kid whose world of warcraft subscription got cancelled.

why is he dancing anyway, that's not very metal

[xDBFDx]

@Tharkenist ROFL, YOUR A DOUCHEBAG, you wish you could sing like that, its is VERY metal, one of the most melodic bands out there!

[borntobe44]

@Tharkenist ok there

[BigTymerPimp]

@Tharkenist You're one of those people who think running into a group of sweaty male strangers and shoving each other is Metal, right? Metal is whatever. High vocals have been a big part of metal since it started. And if you must know a lead singer dancing on stage keeps the crowd interested. Every frontman's job is to keep the crowd interested and entertained while playing their instrument. People don't pay to see you play they pay to see you perform.

[k1leadgeetah]

@BigTymerPimp finally someone said it,

i hate to see a band live and all they do is stand around and look like dicks

i was in a deathcore band for a while(terrible i know) and even the singer for that band didn't just stand around like a dick, nor did anyone else in the band

[az3456x2]

if you look closely youll see that after rody takes off his blindfold and throws it on the ground that every now and then he has it hanging around his neck and sometimes he doesnt XD

[SonicSyndicate666]

@az3456x2 haha. i never noticed that before :L

Well spotted.

[Jonnymadon]

I love how it looks and sounds like they are playing one last song in hopes of persuading their captors to let them go, artistically done and epic.

[ramskid1388]

i wouldn't mind getting shot if i got to play an awesome song in front of my executioners. haha prefect way to go out.

[copynin08]

favorite line " and no one ever said that hope would be so beautiful"

[ameliorate2695]

if i was about to get executed, this is also what id do

[rofljelly135]

Solo was awesome,but doesn't hold a candle to the epic ending,from 2:59 onward.Not just the guitar part,either.

[christianisgay00]

@rofljelly135 You know the part from 2:59 onward is in the original song, right? The only thing they did in the video version was take out the acoustic bit at the end with the female vocals.

[rofljelly135]

@christianisgay00 ???

I was saying that was my favorite part.

[christianisgay00]

@rofljelly135 Oh wow, don't I feel stupid. I totally misread what you posted. My bad.

[inbl00m93]

its weird going from this to bloodmeat, they grew

[demonsandwizards1]

@inbl00m93 try going from these colours to run to bloodmeat lol i love all of their music : )

[IchigoAndBleachRock]

Awesome song , From 3:00 until the end its the best

[Brett0t]

Fortress.

[forestfrolic]

Kezia.

[iLyykMuzik]

Imo-

Fortress- better instrumentally, overall better song construction

Kezia- better vocals, and a great back story

Couldn't really tell you to go either way though, they're both great

[RockStar5656]

Get one then later on get the other! ^_^

[Progrock101]

depends on what ytour looking for, kezia has an awesome story line to it and outstanding vocals. fortress has outstand instrumental, and very complex riffs that metal heads would and rockers would cry from. id say get both but if it came down to it choose which one you like most by they style

[borntobe44]

Why compare Kezia and Fortress? They are both my favorite albums of all time. To me it's like comparing bacon with sex (with are the best things in the world).

[CrazyIndianChief]

my gf got pissed at me for that one

[borntobe44]

how?

[IronPredator12]

Complex question with a simple answer. Both. ^^

[lazycriticdude]

My all time favorite band, an amazing ending :D

[BlindMesiah]

Fortress and Kezia are completely different animals, just as A Calculated Use of Sound is as well. All of them hold their own in different ways. Where Calculated had a lot of punk energy, Kezia had a very bold concept with great lyrical depth, and Fortress is on a different level to just about anything in technical difficulty with the music. I myself gravitate towards Kezia more, but I often crave the precise, yet brutal execution of Fortress with it's screams and mind boggling musical onslaught

[Brettendo64]

Best song from Kezia

[eduardorox0694]

your point is very valid due to these guys maturing as musicians but it just doesnt have the same amazing story line and emotion kezia had

[Akroliths]

The Bassist is COOL! I

[Theangryemu]

its true.

fortress is amazing

[XcoreHasRisen91]

I have listened to Palms Read. I own the whole Sequoia Throne album, I like it don't get me wrong but i prefer Kezia.

[lazycriticdude]

It's called Fortress.

[XDa7x4lifeXD]

wow. this is amazing

[ubermanstein]

2:22 - 2:44 UGH YES

[untreatable]

why isnt this the real version? theyre missing stuff in the middle and in the beginning.

none the less, its one of my all time favorites. i don't think ive ever heard any band this talented.

[TheKingOfBassGuitar]

The men holding the guns didnt feel like standing there that long :P jk I have no clue.

[Progrock101]

some video companies will ask the band to cut out a few parts in the song to cut the time down and save money, all the blindfold aside videos are like this

[stewsupra98]

its music video length issues, the video would've been too long i suppose if they included the entire recorded version

[Headbanger0624]

check out Between the buried and me dude!Anyway amasing song from PTH

[untreatable]

dude i love btbam

im seeing them live at the end of the month

[exsymphony]

3:31 the sex

[borntobe44]

Rody is a great singer. He is the whole reason I got into PTH. The old songs hes not the greates, but fortress he kicks ass.

[XcoreHasRisen91]

Kezia is the best album from Protest, his vocals are at his prime on this album, youre fucking crazy.

[LuisRmix]

this band is amazing...like a start listening to them....at first i thought it was shit...because of the singer...but after all hes not so bad at all

[drawnacrol]

Yeah first time I heard them I taught they were the worst band I've ever heard, their prob my favourite band now!!!!!

[stupidbrian]

@LuisRmix Im exactly the same

[Nathen40k]

best 4 minutes in my life so far :)

[WeirdSchizo]

This is probably one of the most talented and gifted bands I've ever seen (and, of course, heard) in my entire life. And also, this is one of my all-time favourite songs.

[borntobe44]

@WeirdSchizo ... Thank you!

[WeirdSchizo]

You're (always) welcome...

[TheDarCheR]

eh ehe hee! awsome

[whakydude1]

I hate when people start having arguments on youtube, wtf? Awesome song btw.

[thisismeisme]

they should have made a movie out of this album like pink floyd and zeplin did

[lukin6t9]

@thisismeisme if you like my chemical romance their new music videos are like movies and i want them to make a movie cuz the one music video reminds me of the mad max movies and those were the best movies ever

[jmiester25]

@thisismeisme and i imagine it would be a thousand times better

[7Alex10]

can't wait for their next album

[Severed1337]

damn didnt hear them for a year or this but still u cant compare them to any other band this is so unique fkn rock :D

[Burkefolk]

besides maybe dream theater

[SOADchuchufan39]

I hear people compare them to Between the Buried and Me all the time...There are only slight similarities. Every band has influences, but people are so narrow minded sometimes. I just hate the whole prick-waving element. They're all good musicians.

[AstroBoy55555]

Dude these guys can rock out like none other.

[DivideofNations]

3:40, Mind Orgasm.

[destroyjas]

holy fuck, this band is more physical than hardcore sex.

[metalheader99]

Protest the Hero is tha fuckin shit man, they put their music 2gether so pricisley n tone like no otha.

[dmcadik]

I love how they go beserk w/ the guitars lol!

[putyourusernamehere]

i never knew till the end of this video that they were about to be shot o.O

[rikublaze]

can anyone say.....EPIC!

[thisisthekronik]

hell naw look at 3:39-3:40!!

[nitsua21]

wtf is that guy doing back there?!

[metalheadanonymous]

2:58 on wards. The emotion and feel of this part.

Love it

[SATANEATSCHEEZWHIZ]

completly agree

[iTzPoP]

best fucking intro of a song i ever heard

[captaincobragoldspit]

3:31 DEAR GOD THAT'S AMAZING

[paulievalera]

just... awesome o_O

[Reaperoframen]

Did Luke and Tim switch guitars in this video??

[lettucehead999]

Epicness at 3:09

[lettucehead999]

It's the beards. They're all beardies now.

[Thumbyy]

tim shaved his a while ago, and moe doesn't have one

[Ponilovesllamas]

kezia set the standard high, and fortress barely made it in my opinion

[Hellsadvocate]

Where fortress lacked in raw emotion, it fistfucked Kezia with technicalities. lol

Though, I do agree. I fucking love Kezia.

[JordansGrave]

agreed, both amazing albums but for different reasons, have to say kezia wins for me aswell!

[CloudACVII]

lmao, completely agree

[americanpsycho09231]

I hear what you're saying, Kezia is absolute greatness. But, so is Fortress, I mean this band pretty much pisses excellence.

[LEAFNINJA33]

Rody looks his best in this video

[SlinkyMushrooms]

I just got their live DVD (Gallop Meets the Earth) from a pre-order and Blindfolds Aside is the best song they perform, but it's all pretty amazing.

[Legitimate50s]

This isn't the full version......

[sebIsDaBest]

yea the original is like 2 mins longer ^^

[Tysonman11]

this is the first video theve eva made bitch

[Djman66666]

No it isn't. Look for ''These colors don't run''

[taynewyatt]

ture

[LejimentSkater]

yeah i agree completley

[LejimentSkater]

which is funny, because when he pulls it off it shows it hitting the ground, lol

[oli0larko]

These guys kick f*cking ass

[lkoz91]

3:31 does he have a piece of his cymbal missing?

[Blackmantunes]

3:21

[CylonAndrew]

AND NO ONE EVER SAID THAT HOPE WOULD BE SOO BEAUTIFULL!

Fucking great song! Support our Canadian artists, I cant wait to get a job so I can finaly buy music rather than downloading.

[ammonisthename]

I swear these guys have ADD cause they never play the same riff twice. lol they are amazing.

[jahson32]

its called mathcore dumbass

[Haziqonfire]

Who care's what genre it is.

Genre means nothing.

Its just awesomeness on a disc. I love Kezia, great album.

[datfatjunt]

damn i cant believe these niggas were only lyk 17-18 when they made this

[1991cameron]

[liamsnorthstar]
