Re-education (Through Labor) By Rise Against Live and Acoustic with Lyrics

[MrKitteh101]

I've got the same guitar as tim :D

[yungspork]

tim messed up the lyrics a little bit. at the end of the first chorus its "we wait to reap what we are do." at the end of the song its "we all reap what we are do...under this sky no longer blue..."

JUS! April 7th at the Long Beach Arena!!

see ya there :D!

[greyhounddream]

man this voice....

[CamaroMan79]

I think each of those chairs in the crowd must have a huge stick attached to the seat.

[00bassman00]

I would pay anything to be there, and that fucking crowd ruined the essence of rock.

RISE AGAINST the best band, fuck every fucking bored person in that fucking crowd.

[Aice2313]

haha if i was in that crowd.... i'd probs walk up to tim and just stand there and listen to a lil something i like to call MUSIC ...OMG i'd give anything for that

[shsnrod17]

what the fuck is wrong with that crowd

i would of been like "what? rise against?"

fuck yeah!!!! haha something like that lol ^.^

[Rayza09]

"just talk but promise nothing else" sounded painfull

[NoobKidXD]

4 people i guess are from that crowd that don't know the lyrics!!!

[DrInsanity987]

hahahahah this crowd makes me sick

nodding like they know what this song is really about...

[xjx2]

Sound so much better in electric, as most rock songs do. But still good.

[irishbmx5]

i love their acoustic stuff!

[xxamandajanexxlove]

this song sounds so frikken good accoustic !!

I LOVE RISE AGAINST (L)

[TheHackeramericano]

BUENO

[TheIsisore]

when i first saw the name of the video i was like "WTF?" i could not imagine re-education to have an accoustique version thats any good. when the video was over i knew i was wrong

[naruhina4991]

good band but if you listen to there songs they are very political. and to very liberal. but they again are an amazing band

[GuitarTheory16]

klingt akustisch echt geil!

[JohnnyGotProblems]

What guitar does Tim McIlrath use, and what strings does he use? Please..

[ApolloNaught]

I'm a noob, Guitar Hero brought me here.

[Telfdog95]

RISE AGAINST ARE THE BEST!!!!!

[clintonio23]

wish they wernt socialist

[mroubison]

@clintonio23 There not socialist, and even if they were, why would it matter? thats like saying "wish they werent catholic" or something lolXD

[DrInsanity987]

@clintonio23 dude they're environmental activist not socialist

[MHaberer]

Great Video, but the Lyrics provided on the left ->

are wrong ;-)

[lpniknilkrap666msh]

this crowd's quiet but i think this was recorded like before people knew the lyrics though... i could be majorly mistaking...

hahah zach's singing face is funnyl.. haha

[cashandguns]

hes a little off key but i am familiar with that so its cool

[dumspwn16]

OMG RISE AGAINST IS SO EPIC....

hate the crowd...i'd be screaming the words with him !!

[MrPotatoIsMean]

@dumspwn16 i know. it's probaly cuz most ppl in the audience are adults and their not interested in this kind of music, and they probaly dont even know what they're saying our talking about...faggots.

[paragonNL]

so damn right.

wat a fucked up crowd, not even doing anything

[ezln1718]

yeah me to the crowed sucks

[flrines]

wow people really need to expand their vocabulary, and what I mean by that is there are way better and much effective words to describe an obviously disinterested audience than "gay ass faggots" or "fags" or "faggots". As Tim has stated in an interview he hopes to "weed out the people who use the word 'faggot'"- just sayin.

[RSkelly117]

Well to be fairly honest...the audience CLEARLY couldn't be more uniterested...half of em arent even smiling ! My mouth would be tocuhing my ears if i was there...

[shredmaster45141]

honestly, acoustic doesn't do this song good

[MrPotatoIsMean]

@shredmaster45141 i know rite? i hate songs in acoustic

[big0cable]

dead crowd but its an acoustic version so there'll b no mosh pits. pretty stupid making a pit at an acoustic show

[MigThms]

lol how stupid are some people here?? It's acoustic, and its not with drums, electric guitars and so on, you would just ruin the whole appearance and song if you ran around like a headless chicken, we got the real live performances for that!

[19guitarman94]

People are stupid, you would look like the biggest prick jumping around at an acoustic performance like this.

[RSkelly117]

its not the fact that they had to go crazy...but lest be honest read my comment and you cannot deny this as the crowd look pretty bored some of em werent even watching

[jeffhardydxfan]

Man i dont care what anyone says i effing love his voice!!!

[mrbuffo12]

it's an accoustic performance in a MuchMusic studio. The crowd is behaving appropriately. They cheered at the end, and didn't ruin the song by 'whooting' like monkeys.

[NuclearFudgeFilms]

If they were playing Swing Life Away it's understandable to not be a bunch of maniacs, it's meant to be a slow song. But c'mon, this is Re-Education Through Labor -- CHEER CROWD! CHEER!

[poopgas3]

this is a good song and his voice is great but its alot better on electric and with the drums

[monkeymandem]

the crowd looks like such fags

[fliprack]

all of that crowd deserve a good kickn and a little shake till they learn to like decent music (like rise against)

[me2231000]

i bet all those people listen to is that faggit scene shit.........................s­uch a shame, the crowd sucks ass

[Jamesriotrawrbellion]

that crowd is shit.

If it was me i'd be jumping about an everythin

[1blackdeath51501]

fucking mtv crowd there like

what no "kanye west?"

gay ass fagots

[xXxCharlesPScenexXx]

@1blackdeath51501 its an accoustic song, wtf do you expect them to be doing?

[jordanhiley]

@1blackdeath51501 uh no, muchmusic not mtv and if you look closely u can see people with rise against shirts, dumbass

[1blackdeath51501]

@jordanhiley I was talking about another performance, bitch, lol.

[jordanhiley]

@1blackdeath51501 what performance, bitch

[1blackdeath51501]

@jordanhiley the mtv ones god, what do you think?

[jordanhiley]

@1blackdeath51501 lmfao i dont see no crowd

[1blackdeath51501]

@jordanhiley *sigh* give it all, stop freaking trolling, and half the people in this one aren't really rise against fans, but the don't look happy.

[jordanhiley]

@1blackdeath51501 lmfao wtf you dont even know what you're talking about

[1blackdeath51501]

@jordanhiley ya, cause I totally wasn't there listening to them.

get a fucking life.

[1blackdeath51501]

@jordanhiley and stop fucking sending me private messages, if you have anything to say, say it here, least you be stupid.

[IxVolumexI]

@1blackdeath51501 i'm sure Rise Against would appreciate the homophobic comments man!

[r1seagainst182]

@1blackdeath51501 right cuz everyone should like the same music. What fucking great world that would be.

[1blackdeath51501]

@r1seagainst182 it would be a great world. lol, shut the fuck up mate. that comment was made over a year ago so just listen to the damn music.

[JoeMama165]

0:10 look at the two retards

[4lukerr]

lol

[EngageTheKnot]

theyuren ot into it cause this really needs to be in their rocking format..its so much more powerfull that way.

[mackyd101]

crowd not digging it xD

i'd be loving it!

[jepsi1]

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MattFlynn456]

riseagainsttheunion is right tim mcillrath is one of the greatest men in human existence

[riseagainsttheunion]

i love tim mcilrath. he is the greatest man in the history of human existence. that's all, thank you :)

[TheHeds77]

I'm a sucker for an acoustic cover but this just dosn't really work. Love Rise Against though, can't wait to see them live, erverchanging acoustic is some thing awesome, now thats a song that works acuostically

[KillCaustic777]

I thought he sounded great, he didn't go softer on the vocals like he usually does with acoustic songs that's all

[evanranger]

the crowd looking at him like he sucks

ill slap them all in the face with my cock

[crazydude980]

AMEN!!! LORDY LORDY!!!!!

[CptCarvalho]

how did u downlead this???

[BloodstainedBlade1]

hey panthers fan, is that panthers as in nottingham panthers?

[Panthersfan226]

Nah it's the Carolina Panthers, sorry!

[Jimmy1720]

oh, yeah, they're MUCH better.

Well they beat out my bucs last few games of last season, forcing them out of the playoffs.

But still.....

they suck. ;)

[Bradrox101]

ok ppl its acoustic nt electric so no 1 is gonna move around or ne thing.

[JordanAndWillVids]

Is this Rise Against?

[notsincelunch]

yes, 2 of the 4 members at least

[tenkachi12]

no its my chemical romance.... especially when the title says rise against.

[Bradrox101]

hahaha lol ik!

[gobombers85stegall]

LOL good one!

[COBalldaway2]

fuck the crowd.

[TheGuitarMan2113]

what is wrong with that crowd? they are just sitting there not caring that a great band is playing.

[vladisan2]

cause for some reason tims voice is kinda screwed in this video

and tim also looks like a russian hobo

[riseagainsttheunion]

how dare you... -____-

[TheRiseagainstfan]

i know id be going crazy

[notsincelunch]

what do you expect them to be doing? Tim and Zach are playing acoustic

[TheGuitarMan2113]

I know that, but they could at least sing. They all look bored as fuck.

[freedirky]

Maybe you guys took it the wrong way? Maybe they were concentrating on the meaning of the song rather than seeing if it sounded good? The way your bashing rap, your no better than the kids who like rap themselves. Congrats.

[1blackdeath51501]

rap has no meaning just saying..........

[UndergroundKing202]

way to generalize a whole genre prick

[MenAmongPoodles]

@1blackdeath51501 that's not true, dude. lots of old school hip hop is very meaningful. there are even some good ones out there today. check out lupe fiasco, he's very much into the same causes as this band. from chicago too, fuck yeah.

[1blackdeath51501]

@MenAmongPoodles ya, what I meant was that today's rap pretty much has the same meaning all around, sex, drugs, being BA when you're not, killing. whatever stuff like that, the old stuff is good, and I can stand it, right now, the only meaningful hip hop band of today is probably flobots. but ya, I should of defined what I meant, since that was an ignorant blanket statement.

[jrjr107]

@thewhitestripes93 i used to only listen to Rap then i heard Rise Against and now barely listen to anything else besides RA

[Unraveling702]

@thewhitestripes93 rise against forever!

[Toksuri1]

@thewhitestripes93 You do know that Tim Mcilrath is singing in the song "White flag warrior" with Flobots which is a band/group that raps :p

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@thewhitestripes93 you know, not all rap is the same. Generalizing like that is wrong, that's like grouping Rise Against together with mainstream rock, when they're obviously not. In fact, Tim was featured on a song by Flobots called White Flag Warrior. They're a hip hop/rap based group who I and many of my friends who also love Rise Against like. Not all rap is bad, Lupe Fiasco, 2pac, RATM, Flobots, artists like these also send a strong political message.

[mtlfinest123]

amazing!

[VidieMonsters]

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3­<3<3

[onetracklife]

oh man, the other guitarist used to play for GWAR

He's come a long way

[cheeseman1127]

Are you serious?

[onetracklife]

yea dude, zach blaire

look it up the bald guy

[thewhitestripes93]

zach blair....

[osfstyle31]

Hum nice, but tim seems running out of air, was his throat sick?

[WillT993]

considering all the screaming he does it cood just be nothing.. dont get me wrong tho i like his style

[guitarone110]

I feel tims vocals could have been better in this performance...seems like he's having trouble with the high notes..If you watch the old mtv videos of them playing for example blood to bleed...the vox are amazing...this i feel he fell short here though

[XxAliveLastWeekXx]

I personally think many of their songs sound pretty good on acoustic and this being one of them, but i can understand what solidscream is saying bc some songs do sound better on electric.

[diefervepo]

este es el mejor video de re education trough labor

[SolidScream]

The original song is better...

These guys just aren't acoustic artists. It's not a bad thing, it's just the effects that come with playing electric suits their songs better than acoustic guitars.

[slpbasketballer9]

Partially true. The songs they write that are intended to be acoustic sound great.

Swing Life Away and Hero of War come to mind...

You count them out as acoustic artists just because some of their electric songs don't transfer well to acoustic.

[MusicIsLife47]

this song is so good

[alleusnoc]

I think tim Messed up around 1:17 on guitar

[odonnelljosh]

I find it odd that this is the video that people choose to talk about Rise Against songs not being political because this is one of their most political songs, and one of the most meaningful too.

[estherledieu]

I think Rise Against absolutely excel acoustically and I wish they had done more acoustic stuff on the tour. Can't fault them in any way though.

[usuckmoron]

holy crap the singer looks so much like santino morrela

[JeffChristopher]

excellent song. great version. They were good punk. I am happy to seem them grow beyond it.

[justrockmebaby]

Um playing one of your songs acoustically doesnt mean you became "un-punk"

[BabyShootingRocket]

It has nothing to do with the acoustic song.

Rise Against used to make hardcore political songs with excellent drums and guitar.

Now they write about girlfriends with shit drums and sub-par guitar.

[justrockmebaby]

What the hell????!? Ok, I will not argue about the drums and guitar part, that is subjective to each one's tastes

But writing about girlfriends? I just bought their latest album 2 days ago. Their songs are still about politics, social awareness, war and stuff. What made you come into the conclusion that they are no longer make "hardcore political songs" and write songs about girlfriends?

IMHO the new guitarist is much better. And the drumming has improved

[BabyShootingRocket]

You know what, you're right, songs like Paper Wings and Roadside are super extreme politics to the max, not about breakups or feeling sad.

Rise Against used to be a band that could bridge the gap between popular music and actual talent, now they're just hopping on the bandwagon.

They've replaced a lot of their speed drumming and fast riffs with rhythm drumming and mediocre repeating power chords.

[justrockmebaby]

Ok now you're finally beginning to make sense. You're entitled to your own opinions about their music and style. Its just that your comment on writing about girlfriends really baffled me.

I still think their style has only subtly changed.

[justrockmebaby]

And you can't expect every RA song to be about politics. Give them a break. Their new album doesnt even have Roadside or Paper Wings anyway.

[RedNemesis42]

Everchanging, Like the Angel, and Heaven Knows are totally about changing the world too, aren't they?

They've always been about power chords, you numbskull. And how can you argue against them having good riffs with this song? Rise Against has a magical thing called "variety." Ever heard of it?

You're the one hopping on the bandwagon, trying to point the "selling-out" finger.

Please, if you want to listen to a band whose songs all sound the same, be my guest. Just go troll somewhere else.

[Blazid000]

Unfortunately, you are right! It is really sad.

[House700dr]

i think he struggled a bit too but still really good they should put that on itunes or on there next album

[Erik02SS]

absolutely wonderful for an acoustic version! most from other bands dont sound half as good! bravobravo

[member56789]

Awesome

[RatedXdrummer]

Sounds like Tim struggled a bit.
