Dead Confederate - The Rat

[xmorganbros]

i found these guys on accident.... a great accident

[oldsoul247]

Just found out about these guys today after hearing their Neil Young cover..awesome group!

[sonotarockstar]

Sounds quite mainstream. I bet these guys wanted to be famouse when they started their band. To bad they didn't make it. I would've known not to listen. ***post written after reading the comment page.*****

[bergy305]

@sonotarockstar Isn't that what every musician does? Dumbass.

[sonotarockstar]

@bergy305 Well, most or all may or may not want to be famous, that wasn't my point. More just commenting on how no one posting here seems to think these guys sound mainstream. In that case, yes, there are some musicians who don't. May not be the stuff YOU listen too, but, they're out there.

[headphonezombie]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

[couldcarexless]

listening to this, run from the gun, and giving it all away, it's amazing to see a band hit 3 different song styles flawlessly

[Musicfreaklolduh]

This song is beyond amazing ! Why would you want to listen to LMFAO after this?

[vanilla00fluff]

A guy I liked had this song on his Myspace a few years ago, and that's when I knew he was the one.

Turns out he wasn't, but he had a good taste in music anyway.

[valiumsummer]

@vanilla00fluff He wasn't the one. He was the Rat.

[tealeeves4]

Such an amazing song and band. Very Greg Dulli-esque. Wish they didn't bleep the 'shit for brains' part. That the best line. Haunting!

[madhouse221]

I have to keep blinking rapidly because the video looks like its lagging and it annoys me

[homevidman1000]

@madhouse221 its a series of either photographs or still shots. its not really a video in a way, kinda like a slide show.

[xoDreamerxXx]

Now THIS is REAL music. <3

[22bentzin]

seriously? only 225,883 views? wtf is wrong with the world GOSH!

[devilmaycry123and4]

what color were the confederates blue or red?

[thekillers1stfan]

@devilmaycry123and4 Grey

[devilmaycry123and4]

@thekillers1stfan niiice i love the sky when is grey preferibly if bombs are falling on my house,s roof

this song just became beutifully grey to me ,thanx so much for looking for that dictionary to tell me the awnser :)

[thekillers1stfan]

@devilmaycry123and4 ummm, i don't understand

[nards210]

I Hope grunge rock comes back, i want the 90s back. These guys are a good start

[TheGundamtitans1]

i love this song sorta creepy

[Urtehnoes]

@rangerstubbs people who say absofuckinglutely should be simply be shot to death. Please do not say that again.

[alec715]

this ape movie has the worst fuckin graphics ever

[hellomynameisMrGod1]

I saw these dudes live.

[corbettclub1]

Great song but SHITTY video... I mean, I understand the whole point of trying to be 'artsy' but there's 'artsy' good and 'artsy' crap...

[travis6785]

Love the song and the band, music video mehhh.

[TheProfficial]

im so sick of youtube..they really need to fix that dislike button glitch!

[otherworldtrader1]

@07hallam i like the song ok but being an atheist i want be in hell. that's reserved for christians, muslims, jews(but most jews are athesits or agnostics) they the jews  know better even though yuor religion ios a pimple off the ass of theirs.

enjoy yuor heritage jr.

[blackcat762]

@otherworldtrader1 I understand and respect your right to feel the way you do, but if you are going to insult someone and mock their heritage, at least spell the word "is" right.

[ratthethief]

@otherworldtrader1 Hell ain't reserved for Christians or Muslims or Jews. If anyone, it'd be reserved for people like you and I, who are atheists. And no, most Jews aren't atheists or agnostic; last time I checked, all Jews are exactly that- Jewish. And honestly, what was the point of bringing all those religions in to play? From what I can understand of your post, you're talking about religion, whereas 07hallam was talking about their opinion on the song. :S

[scienceofshapes]

quality

[charliedeltaxray]

I like listening to this song after a long day of snowboarding. The first time I heard this song was actually after an exhausting day of snowboarding.

[bjgepfer]

this band rules.

[LEAHferever]

wish they were more recognized

[pamuel3]

@LEAHferever God forbid they get recognized though. Then this comment board would be filled with people trashing them for being "mainstream". There is no winning here LOL

[gordianvictoria]

Why in the world does this song only have 204,764??!!

[GSarovich]

not bad, not bad at all

[seapockets]

i dig it

[Kleaverable]

Gosh, is that a REAL Radio Flyer1? Lmao. Fucking love this song.

[TheMNicole]

heard this in the middle of the night on my satelitte music channels, jotted it down and have just now found the note. WOW!!! Now i remember why i took note! Great song!

[WhatTheHell5000]

@TheMNicole Lol. That's exactly how I found this song.

[TheMNicole]

@WhatTheHell5000 small world :)

[MultiMon3y]

i listen to hip-hop.. but this is "music". something you can relate and listen to. love this songg!

[sobondaniel]

@MultiMon3y you so right

[wafflecopter3]

my guitar teacher toured with them

[rangerstubbs76]

Them playing on the church alter is absofuckinglutely PERFECT...

[whatsbehindyourhead]

good shit, if vevo and slow ass computer would play more than 5 seconds.. ps change the world man .. the clock is tickin

[Lucero09027]

Saw them two nights ago. Love their music.

[bravicimo]

Having a ''rhianna with drake'' ad underneath this song is a shame. Hope no long live to vevo.

[MikhailLifirenko]

@bravicimo lol same ad is up for me

[bmigga]

One of my friends just told me to look these guys up, and this is the first song I've heard. I like what I hear.

[mcbm1991]

I dont get how people think this band sounds like Nirvana or is even like Nirvana. I mean, yeah, they play instruments. That's about it.

[tyym4]

@mcbm1991 they dont sound like Nirvana but it seems like the got some sort of inspiration from nirvana

[jackblacksutube]

@mcbm1991 i guess cause theyre kinda heavy and the chorus on the high notes of the electric sound similar to the chorus on smells like teen spirit....

[guttermoth]

I'm soo glad I didn't see anyone post some Nirvana or Kurt Cobain reference. I would have had to punch someone in the face.

[psycho826]

@guttermoth dont you mean .... you would have to "shotgun" someone in the face?

...what?

[1wayticket2hell]

You guys are right! I don't like artists and youtuba making money off of others and myself mooching these vids rather than buying their album!! down with vevo! I mean, they did write the song, preform it amazingly, and put out a great video, but ill be damned if i pay for anything.

-.-

[bbbwuaha19]

<3 this is amazing they are gonna be in atl soon

[babygurlearle]

yum...Hardy Morris <3

[babygurlearle]

No morals shown

in no way explained

Stupid human

Shit for brains

[MultiMikey321]

VIVO IS GARBAGE! makes me want to kill babies.

[UltimateMinion]

this and 'all the angels' are my favorites

[Comrade420BoB]

dam i love this song, its good to go back,

[madnesscombat5]

fuck vevo...

[GodIHateStupidPpl]

i saw them at memphis in may 09 :)

[MajorManny]

Hah! 1:53 Jesas Saves

[lindzbitz]

he's obviously putting religion to rest. 

[NEONMOCHi]

This song just grows on you. <3

[waygie]

this is one of the songs i seriously wish i was the one that wrote

[MultiMon3y]

this my shit

[soulcalibur22]

i dont understand why bands like this dont get more attention they should be rated like a million ppl by now insane man...

[Estradac15]

@soulcalibur22 people whould rather watch annoyin orange not funny

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@soulcalibur22 because youtube music views are made up of bieber fans and other pop fans so it will never get as many views just look at what music is coming to

the inevetable is coming

[NoTalentSucks]

@THISSONGISBULSHIT that's only because most of the people on youtube are 12 years old, that's why music on youtube targeted to 12 year olds has the most views. also, pop music has always been terrible, don't act like it's anything new.

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@NoTalentSucks but it is rising in popularity

[Wolf78100]

@NoTalentSucks I'm 12 years old. I don't listen to "pop" music and I never have.

[jackblacksutube]

@Wolf78100 keep it up bud

[MapleCyrup]

@soulcalibur22 They don't get attention because they took the time to learn to play instruments and produce real music with their talents. Unfortunately, those who get millions of views and ratings are those that sat on a soundboard and produced garbage music with no talent; their voices being modified to the point of unrecognition. This is what the masses listen to now: mainstream, radio junk of no talent. I am proud to be on of the few who can appreciate musical talent such as this band.

[Ghostdude2]

@soulcalibur22 Cracked music industry...fuck that...a music industry in pieces...many...blond...and Rebecka black...pieces....

[beserker1912]

@soulcalibur22 bands like this are always better, because they have to fight for the attention and the result is good music.

[BloodNorseGods]

@soulcalibur22 because only Americans are dead confederates, and America is running out of Americans

[cheylexus]

@soulcalibur22 , dudee, I agree, the only way we can help though is turning other people on to them, which Ive done already.

[xDEADKINGx24]

@soulcalibur22 I know I'm a year late, but... Dead Confederate has stated that they dont want all the attention or to become very famous.

[soulcalibur22]

@xDEADKINGx24 nothing to do with what i said. if they wanted to be like everyone else who wants to be and they didn't have actual skill then id be different. There humble artist. No real artist is going to say they want to be famous vs ppl appreciating there music. Its a shame ppl appreciate an image first and not the music

[bendylanbeem]

pretty lame how advertisements are bieng crammed down our throats even when and where it is not appropriate. although i do have a sudden strange urge to join the army... i guess the ad worked

[SouthCountyDawg]

Great beat and a lot of emotions ...I feel it...I like it...where are we going?



[Arrrgn]

BANG BANG

[MrBigwong]

Is shit for brains too risque for you vevo?

[Sigma9870]

vid made me think my computer was lagging...

[1111BLAKE1111]

we die. fuck words. stop listening but i share your attraction to this song. praise bang bang it sounds so good to my spirrit. fuck is a good bane. god i love this sad depressing dark melancholic shit. repeat repeat repeat the fuck?? shot from the back take good aim make sure im dead bang bang. ho ho holy fuh fuh fuck haha

[Sigma9870]

@1111BLAKE1111 you need to sue your school.

[sarbogus31]

this song is freaking great.

[NEONMOCHi]

:47 FENDERRR (I have one rather identical. 800 dough) ! I absolutely love this song. Wonder why such a low count of views...

[MacKeydp]

The little boy reminds me of Damien. Interesting that he grows up to be a pastor.

[killer2600]

Kick ass song!!!

[Harnas420]

vevo is soo fucking gay!!! badass song

[iamawombat101]

I absolutely love this song...but this video makes me kind of dizzy. haha don't watch it full screen.

[Chuthuluku]

Freaking amazing song! Does anybody know what it's about, though? Also, whe he says something about the "Judge be judge and all the rich be saved" it sounds like he's saying "all the wretched be saved"

[Rwareham1013]

@Chuthuluku It's wretched

[Fedaykin4321]

@Chuthuluku You're right, it's definatel "all the wretched be saved". Some retard posted the lyrics wrong and now all the websites that list song lyrics have the wrong ones.

[Chuthuluku]

@Fedaykin4321 Cool, I like it that way more

[TheJIghost]

i think that the video is that the little boy and a friend were playing and his friend did something that he didn't like. So the little boy killed him like the song is saying. then the little boy doesn't want to get caught so he bures him and keep a sulviner which is the necklace. But this song is still the bomb the video i actually like

[StrawberryQueenxx]

i don't understand the vid, but i love this song lol

[killer2600]

@StrawberryQueenxx kill and dispose

[mrajbones20]

this is a creepy vid. can anyone explain it?

[StfuMaili]

From my eyes i think it's a little boy playing somthing and like had to burn his clothes or burry them.Or like he killed a dead animal.

[StfuMaili]

Or maybe his dad died so he's burring his dads clothes so he dosen't have to member?

[6eeyore9]

@turerocker123 VEVO blows chunks all over all the artists i like... "watch with lyrics"????? My ass, none of the videos I watch have 'em and all you get is effin rap commercials that have me clickin like mad just to get that shit off my screen and out of my speakers

[Demthious]

@6eeyore9 Download firefox. Get Adblocker plus plug in. Bamf, no more ads. I didn't even know Vevo had ads.

[kujoalt]

I think they sound like Pink Floyd + Nirvana.

Saw these guys at Riverbend at Chattanooga, TN and they put on a great show!

[SouthernBasterd]

What year where they at RiverBend? I wish I hadn't missed that! Bonnaroo is gonna be sick, though.

[kujoalt]

It was 09's Riverbend.

[tylerv102]

I definitely get a silverchair vibe from them. Not a bad comparison. Not at all.

[facemonkeys]

My cousin is engaged to the singer.

[imasuperbeaver]

This is the internet. I'm not allowed to believe that.

[cantmatchperfection]

@imasuperbeaver Believe what? Sorry, I'm lost.

[facemonkeys]

@cantmatchperfection That the singer is my cousin

[cantmatchperfection]

@facemonkeys Sweet!

[MicahBuzan]

it's always refreshing to hear good lyrics in a song

[MrBigwong]

They censored "shit for brains" WTF. Where is the non-Vevo version of this? This is fucking weak.

[robhartjr123]

it sounds like a combo of the strokes and nirvana.

uh oh...

:O

[jjd]

@robhartjr123 it does remind me of nirvana

[potatomac911]

Oh and by the way, this song is AMAZING.

[potatomac911]

What's so wrong with Vevo?

[ShironaRoxSox]

*thought

(spelling mistake. D: )

[ShironaRoxSox]

Whoever though of Vevo should die.

[fickleparoxysm]

I think the little boy is supposed to be the singer at a young age.

[FairySparkle106]

vevo i FUCKING hate you

[logansci]

why

[TheMiamifuentes]

@FairySparkle106 it's hard to youtube poop or rickroll lady gaga cus she already did it to her self, and her name rhymes with caca, so at least she has that going for her in the world of youtubepoop.

[LivesUnderABridge]

@FairySparkle106

Is the extra sixteen seconds you had to wait to watch this really deserving of "hate"?

I really don't see the big deal. I guess consumerism and the instant gratification it breeds has really fucked us over.

[jade4884]

@LivesUnderABridge Gotta agreez with ya there

[jade4884]

@LivesUnderABridge thumbs up on ur comment

[Kamewuv]

@FairySparkle106 ur not the only 1

[morecowbell69]

@FairySparkle106 - You out of tampons?

Youtube is free. Stop your fucking whining.

[flipwits2]

@FairySparkle106 Seeing fucking Justin Bieber in the corner is such an insult to Dead Confederate.

[moqahasadollar]

@flipwits2

I saw reeses :)

[mgs0893]

@FairySparkle106 I hate people that post useless and completely unnecessary comments like that just to get thumbs up. Get a life.

[NoTalentSucks]

@mgs0893 i hate people who complain about other people getting thumbs up on youtube. lighten up.

[mgs0893]

@NoTalentSucks Haha I wouldn't have any problem if it was a legitimate comment, but you just posted a generic fail that doesn't even make any sense for the sole purpose of getting thumbs up. Next time make a legitimate comment about the actual video, not your unnecessary hatred of VEVO

[NoTalentSucks]

@mgs0893 ... jesus christ

[ThePeterson21]

@FairySparkle106 vevo hates you too thats why he does it.

[pinkert0n]

@FairySparkle106 ?

[MikhailLifirenko]

@FairySparkle106 then why the fuck do u keep using it?

[morecowbell69]

@FairySparkle106 - Waaaah! I want eveything for free.

Whiny kids.

[gracie3765]

Am I the only one who was wondering what is in the bag the whole time?

Really good!

[LiveSkatePurple]

@gracie3765

Its a body.

[emokid0042]

is the video suposed to look like its skipping or is mine messed up?

[Holden123585]

skipping. It's stop motion

[fsxPWM]

@emokid0042

lol they forgot their video camera so they took alot pictures on their cell phones lol

[Psyk0s1s]

This band owns yeah fuck yeah
