POD - Youth of a Nation (Live Letterman 12-27-01)

[rochelle5672]

i find it absolutely amazing that they got these kids singing this song, they sound practically perfect! I just hope that they understand what they are singing. It truly has an amazing meaning and they have been honored to be singing this song with the band. Way to go Kids! and POD too of course for yet another amazing performance!

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

this was the music of the 90's-late 04 this music was amazing like the prs guitars and mesa boogie amps and heavy music and punk rock music man i wish music was still like this and non of that bull shit auto tune and computerized sounds either

[mistertomgordon]

14 people are not youth of a nation

[Reesespieces905]

not really rock...

[EnDTh3S1L3NcE]

Amazing performance and song, truly inspiring and emotion in every way

[garson1012003]

im thinking that maybe that drummer is fucking awesome!

[Rickrattlehead90]

what does P.O.D stand for...???

[Tappinho85]

@Rickrattlehead90 Payable On Death, they chose this name to recall Jesus Christ crucifixion.

[BleedingxMetal666]

[YTInterview]

Every time i hear this song, i get chills.

[newbirthnewlife]

[newbirthnewlife]

I still watch this at least once a week. I love how Sonny always looks to the Father.

[mikeysucks182]

nice drumming... one of the best!

[genericRUSHfan]

I like that, even as a Christian band, arguably their best song is secular. I can enjoy the music without having their religion a noticeable factor.

[dcox421]

Gotta be more to life than this

[Kirithias]

great song

wuv is awsome on the drums ^^

[ladani67]

I have always loved the drums in this song. I think it wouldn't be as intense without them =/

[ebaysingers]

this song makes so much sense if you have gone trough school and felt it was torture !

[ugabulldogs1019]

That drummer is really into this song

[Works42]

@ugabulldogs1019 I kinda admire that, it puts more emotion into it.

[iamtheluke]

@ugabulldogs1019 yes he is

[mgalv14]

[AkirAettE]

ooo kik ass with drummer 

[haha47977]

i get miserable when i think that 75% of these kids singing we are the youth of the nation now are listening to bieber and all that crap

[sweetsugarhoney2]

@haha47977 nah, I doubt they're listening to bieber. This was in 2001, ten yours ago, I bet most of this kids are too old now to listen to bieber, lol.

[crazyrahul97]

@haha47977 they are in there twenties now fool

this was 10yrs ago lollllll

[haha47977]

@crazyrahul97 1. calm down 2. probably not bieber but maybe gaga

[crazyrahul97]

@haha47977 im not mad?

[haha47977]

@crazyrahul97 huh?

[BlastFromYesterday]

@haha47977 THAT'S NOT TRUE!

[btuc401]

@haha47977 That's bullshit, you're saying 75% of my generation listen to Bieber and the likes? 50% us listen to real, thought-provoking music yet are cast aside as failures, misfits, druggies, ect.

[steven8807]

Wow...he was speaking truth...

[fillikemuz]

i hate this band, but always enjoyed this performance^^ with all the poo bands now a days i kinda wish they come back

[madmirx]

[meenandgreen]

[Gabe1902]

@TheMagicchicken123

Awesome.

[zekejammah16]

i want one of those kids shirts

[TheMessanjah]

This song tells mainly about the columbien shooting where two go-hating atheist went to kill christians. they even asked one victim if she believes in god and she said yes then they shot her. also before they went shooting they recorded something where they called their target(s) god's whores. etc. But P.O.D. is all pure genius. when the WTC tower come crashing down p.o.d.'s ALIVE was just released the same day. just divine epic win. Without Jah Nothin' !

[UnluckilyEnlightened]

@TheMessanjah It also touches on the subject of our youth now.And the Conditions they live in and have to deal with.Kids go through alot now and Parents etc...Pass it off..."As A phase"...How sad.I used to work for guidance counselor.You wouldn't believe how many kids thought about taking their life!!!! And The was the respond was always "People don't understand or listen"

We have to care and love..and understand.This what we're doing to our kids.Cause we don't have time to listen! It's sad!

[Bakersfieldsucks777]

@TheMessanjah -it had nothing to do with them hating christians they just wanted to kill people ur retarded

[MuzicMyLifeee]

@TheMessanjah I hope you know their based as a cristian band and this is nothing to do with religion, they were pissed and explained it through song, there a group of badass's so unless u know u shit SMD!

[jadsuckme]

Thats fucking amazing live.

[rachidkingofsouth]

12 lossers!!!!!!!!!

[jacobs87]

this is probably the best performance of this song!

[balaianatocaia]

" IS THE LAST DAY OF THE MY LIFE .... "

SONY , IS THEEEE P.OOOOOO.DDDDDD

[StellerMea1351]

There freakin beast live! :D annnd hes cutee lol

[lvdking69]

Anyone know the name of song at the end of the vid

[MadisonCutlass44057]

Cant belive how much he looks like a young Brett Hart.

[casseyboo89]

THEY KILLED THIS SHIT..ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS IN MY OPINION

[90loneeagle]

@casseyboo89 hell yeah!!

[robi2000]

Thumbs up for this guitarist. This is an uncommon approach and it's a great sound.

[68boa]

The Drummer is AWSOME!

[luckydhel29]

i always sing this one in my head since then i could not stop. i has been here in my head i can sing it for yah but i will chocolate rain...lol

[JustWantMyClip2]

@luckydhel29 ur stoned as hell or what ?

[StellerMea1351]

this song is fucking awesome! i think the lead singer is kinda cute lol. P.O.D. is the shit!

[fxckntrashedd]

Haha, the singer is walking around the stage like he's drunk.. still pretty cool though.

[gezzate]

VERY GOOD.....

[maghneth]

Programa do Jô?

[djblacktino]

this was awsome

[wickedinuniform]

i dnt wanna sound gay or anything but this song really inspires me

[chiodos82]

@wickedinuniform u dnt sound gay bro lol it inspires me too

[666AHEAD666]

is the singer high or some shit?

[BBeAtZ91]

@666AHEAD666 no hes jus vibin to the music

[sccitylhh]

@666AHEAD666 It's called passion man

[Gabe1902]

@666AHEAD666

I could say the same thing about you, are YOU high?

[devon422222]

fuck yea

[r3n3gade420]

yeah the chorus is rolling heavy on the floor tom for that deep rumble, thats the only way to hit the floor tom, its a semi-substitute for the bass drum, but you couldnt produce a sound like that unless you had a double pedal which im sure he has, just no need for it in this song

[mightywhitieg106]

really miss my family but i do love the one i got now :-)

[pedrobobby]

this song makes me BELIVE.. ''WE FKNG ARE!! THE YOUTH OF THIS NATION!!!!!!!

peace brothers&sisters!!!

[thejokesonyou16]

@pedrobobby my friend, if you say we F***ING are the youth of the nation, you've completely destroyed the meaning of the song, just letting you know... impurity and bad language is the opposite of everything P.O.D. is all about.

[pepsipaid]

MAN that Rocked !!!

[TheZombie6]

lucky kids

[TheTrakkOursoniss]

i dont really watch this show, but letterman has pretty good taste in music for an old guy. and its good to see my christian brothers gaining some popularity. thats probably because they say they aren't a christian band, their just a band that happens to be made up of born-again musicians. by simply removing that church-label and the stereotypes, that come with it, they are more widely accepted.

[LEFT4BASS]

You'reChristian? me too

[TheDafra]

P.O.D é a melhor *-----*

[TheMagicchicken123]

is the bass player was in the movie 8 mile

[BoilerByBlood]

Awesome song!!!!

[dadablind]

Amanhã vou comprar meu ingresso :)

[sassyguirl23]

not really mean that the tittle of their song is telling onlyy for them for only for their group! lol...there is a msg inside on that sOng...and onething is they are great!

[masondarko]

"She may act kinda proud, but no respect for herself!"

[back2thefutre]

fart

[Godmonster70]

Great song!! Great band!!!

[Eguys]

Insane... derberzz.. you are the youth of our Nation.. The parents have eaten sour grapes.. and the children's teeth are on edge... let us pray..

[DatKIDKEVIN110]

great song

[TheLiesette]

...........

[Insane247714]

this was my first CD i purchased, about 8 to 9 years ago. i still remember walking over a mile to wal-mart and buying this epic CD. I'm now 20 years old, P.O.D is still one of my favorite bands.

[derberzz]

That would have made you about 11 then and i dont think wal-mart sold explecit language material with parental warnings to pre pubescent kids....even then ! Good story though.... did you walk up hill in the snow both ways also ?

[Insane247714]

@derberzz explicit language material with parental warnings? this is P.O.D. we are talking about...a so called Christian band. if you've even heard that CD at all you'd know that there is nothing explicit in the CD.

[derberzz]

I didnt say it was explicit...nut suck...I said the warning was. Check the c.d. you walked to get ! and yes i have heard it many times, thank you.

[Insane247714]

you seriously are stupid, just shut the fuck up. now that's explicit. there is no explicit sticker on the CD. retard

[derberzz]

No ..... R E T A R D .... THE STICKER WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE CELLOPHANE WRAPPER......now go away....isnt it time for ur shift at 1-800-SHE-MALE anyways !

[manosteel1024]

@Insane247714 you are right man...don't listen to this guy. I bought the cd from Best Buy when it came out and it had no explicit warning on it....P.O.D's music has never gotten an explicit warning. People come on youtube and try to start junk cuz their lives are boring.....don't feed the trolls

[GrauerWooolf]

Einfach HaMMa das Lied!!!!! WEITER SO ;-)

P.O.D R0cks

[DmnBear81king]

I love this song.

[bandarestaura]

conheça a BANDA RESTAURA - música "O PREÇO"

[xanadakilla]

the bass is hella badass

[fullmetalbg]

isnt the song called Youth of THE nation ??

[DisguiseDK]

that drummer is insane!

[RedMagier]

Yea, you cant acuse him for being lazy :S

[elementdude77]

great performance. you can tell Sunny is really into it

[tossingmidgetsforfun]

The lead singer looks like Bret "The Hitman" Hart

[FatalKaos]

hahah for reals i always thought that too

[danielhop111]

KE DE PUTA MARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goguy619]

[chucklovesmanda]

[Fernando15423]

[death9001]

[FiFiTv]

[108MiALEE]

Pero que bieeeen esta el vocalista : P

[flyinguitarman]

amazing performance, i love how they used a kids choir, it makes it even better

[TheSirlagalot]

@flyinguitarman I love how each person brings their own form of dynamics to the performance. One of my favourite bands now.

[CameronTheMental1]

awesome song

[erikleorga]

very good performance. Thanks for uploading.

[AustinGuess08]

their drummer must have the best sticks ever made cause he is pounding those drums hard as hell.

[startrooper64]

Vic Firth, hell yeah

[nothingface1984]

yea with style

[delawarerufusjones]

@AustinGuess08 everyone is giving a performance of a lifetime

[piguif]

@AustinGuess08 not to mention drum skins lol

[blast360f]

@AustinGuess08 yep but...he can have soft drumms...maybe

[alesexy21]

the drummer of my band plays lie him.

just words!

[MadManix]

@AustinGuess08 its mainly just acting

[IPstixrawesume]

@AustinGuess08 Vic Firth.  They were good... then they got sloppy...

[ffhujhh]

@AustinGuess08 maybe he has a kidney stone from moving around while he was sitting and he was trying to fight the pain

[lnknprkmetora1]

this has got to be one of their best songs

[gladys8it]

Though I'm not part of this youth nation........this song is cool!!!!!!!

[OneSeriousAddiction]

Love it

[metalcoredrummer9]

one of the only good bands that ever played on letterman. haha and "rock and roll"?

[hmunkey]

He calls all rock artists rock and roll - it's his thing and frankly, that's what they all used to say when he was a kid.

He's even called indie pop bands rock and roll.

[metalcoredrummer9]

haha weird. well it is a pretty open term

[darthzannah]

he doesnt sound AS good as he does in the real MP3 somng. but some of his voice is digitaly messed with in the song in some parts of it. so...

[lary90210]

thats cause its live the mp3 was in the studio where it couldv'e taken him 20 tries to just get the verse right

[alexus2394]

well in the studio versions of songs the artists have many tries to perfect the song,and the recording is much more clear.

[KILLAKEV10000]

i love this song

[samyr182]

great song...

we are, we are, the youth of nation!

[rockfan53]

they are a great band live! the little kid part scared me when i saw the music video lol. 5/5 i LOVE this song!

[MrBirminghamcityfc]

p.o.d were the first band i seen live at the age of six they were with ill ninio and skindred it was mad sold out and i got to meet every member of every band that played i was the youngest person there

[jtsportster]

Gun blast it happened so fast

[jbmharley]

he looked so cool with dreads....

[jca23]

the singer looks like Bret Hart

[FatalKaos]

hahha yea i awlays thought that too

[Cheeta1020]

I love this song and I think its much better when performed live and to see a live of chorus of kids to help with the chorus

[mudvayneyo1994]

reallllyyyyyyyy

gooooooodddddd

love it

that song remains me remain me...

[wrtausy]

IN ENGLISH MAN!!!! no body understand wat ur saying!!

[driclayer]

esta cancion es una de las mejores de POD jeje

[driclayer]

oe karnales este video esta lo maximo gracias al kien lo subio esta padre

[DCussen]

They really pulled it off well, live.

[9phillyphan9]

awsome video......That drummer is kick ass!!!!!

[beatngu08]

hes pretty good not boubting his skill but hes nothing too boast about

[ARisenServant]

He keeps the Beat and Tightly!!!!! thats all that matters! Too many drummers Over play and have mad chops but they get fired! Because Music isn't all about solos and fills!

"Keep The Beat " =Drummer! He WINS!!!!

[hyde097]

i agree he was all over the place

[thejollyrogger]

Its stage presence

[locoWOWplaya]

he actually sounds normal

unlike most of the artists wen they sing live

[isiahnator]

that drummer is really good, he plays hard and like a badass, the singer is cool too, those were the good pod days

[fallenangels999]

that drummers the shit

[IJsko]

I don't think so, the music is obviously live, so it would be hard for the musicians to keep the pace right with the tape.

Second, you can hear him having troubles with breathing around 3:00
