Protest The Hero - Blindfolds Aside

[voomaldor]

Dopest band to me period.

[Crushercs1993]

The punk show? XD

[tmeyers314]

2,000,000 people are Canadian :)

[KilerBunneh]

i can remember watching this video on much when i was a kid and not realizing how good it was

[Consequence]

@KilerBunneh

What a coincidence! I heard this song in high school and fell in love with them.

[Deathblade6661]

WhiteWalls75 Actually she got pregnant becuase of me...my bad dude

[D2Synua]

lame

[bdalt1996]

no one even needs to comment about how awesome this son is just listen to it it speaks for its self

[SeniorScales]

I can't fucking believe gay ass black veil brides is in the suggestions bar.. This band is too awesome for that kid band.

[ratmforthewin]

This is an epic compensation for justin bieber from canada!!!! thumbs up if you agree

[howel94]

@ratmforthewin its a start but i dont think anything will make up for that mistake

[ratmforthewin]

@howel94

Maybe that's so, but at least they save a little bit of canada's reputation

[howel94]

@ratmforthewin hells ya

[SeniorScales]

Wow...this band is from Canada? Get the fuck out of here. I can't believe that, they're too good.

[bradycentralbball08]

@SeniorScales A lot of great bands come out of Canada haha, Canada isn't as bad as you may think!

[6KingCooper6]

@1:40 AND ARIF SAID "LET THERE BE VISION!"... and he said "This is good."

[Bloodtoxx]

This isn't the name of this song...

[pinkladies93]

@Bloodtoxx your an idiot this is def the name of the song lolz

[NekGuitar]

good song, but still the worst one of protest the hero, and im a huge fan

[buminachair]

Can't say I care much for the singers, the bassist is funny though

[TheMandusa]

@buminachair Arif is the definition of beast.

Perhaps you'd like Rody's later vocal parts in later songs?

[buminachair]

@TheMandusa

I'll look into it,

[guitarguy1357]

I could watch this video 1,981,002 times... then another 1,981,002 times!

[THEDESKMONKEY]

they just seem to be trying a bit too hard

[TheOneBurger]

how the fuck did this guys get 2 million views? what a shitty song...

[jakeorjakob]

@TheOneBurger 3,931 likes over 242 dislikes - thats why :D

[viejowebon]

@jakeorjakob 3931 faggs

[Peartnoy518]

@viejowebon 242 musically disabled people.

[Gatsu7385]

@viejowebon if liking this awesome music make me gay so.. +1

[IXPrometheusXI]

@jakeorjakob I think the complaints are mostly about the quality, not the song.

[jakeorjakob]

@IXPrometheusXI true, but OneBurger or whatever said "what a shitty song" not "quality" :P

[enderein11]

@TheOneBurger ooops its not 2mil...its 1,974,747 dumbass..

[viejowebon]

@enderein11 oh rlly

[DTLyrics]

Protest is from the same town that I'm from - Whitby, ON

And went to the high school that I'm at now - Anderson Collegiate

This is a great song :D

[LeftTackle63]

@DTLyrics Fuck Anderson. J Clarke would kill your ass in rugby,

[juniormick13]

@DTLyrics sorry man we dont care

[6KingCooper6]

@DTLyrics They better have a statue of PTH at Anderson -.-

[BlackHole254]

DID they die at the end?))

[ilovemuffins1337]

@BlackHole254

well the story is about the trial and execution of a girl named Kezia (from the point of view of the priest, prison gaurd, and kezia herself) and within this song is the choice between doing your job for money or dropping the gun and "shake the blindfolds from your eyes"

so we dont really know. thats part of the point of the video

[ilovemuffins1337]

@ilovemuffins1337

and also this is the last song in the Prison Guards section (and also the end of the story, which happens 3 times in the album, once per person)

[BlackHole254]

@ilovemuffins1337 no, they die))

[IcyNoStars]

heard of rody from aas, thought i'd check them out, dont really like em that much tho..

[WhiteWalls75]

this song is awesome i love it

[gaara1546]

Its AMAZING how the drummer did that blind folded.

[mertelov323]

@gaara1546 actually its not that hard to play without watching the drums ... i guess every drummer knows his set to the detail as he plays it for a long time so there is no problem pulling off something like this

[gaara1546]

@mertelov323 Well, I guess if you play it over and over then it wouldnt be a problem, but still its pretty cool.

[trivium0]

The quality of this video is trash its amazingness needs to be more respected. BOOOOO! to the uploader but, the song is the greatest.

[phroghat]

is this real?

[chillpill1000mg]

by the time the song was over i cummed in my pants at least 7 times

[JeremiahAlesana]

Poor Kezia. :(

[MrMarketingDirector]

Did I hear a blast beat in there?

[NickWayne100]

His voice is annoying as shit. But his scream is amazing

[Undernight123]

Someone can buy one guitar to me , to i play that song ? *-*'

[oddisimo96]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[VioletZephyr2]

terrible sound quality but amazing ..AMAZING song

[massu814]

This band is underrated and I don't understand why.

[b3ni5c00l]

never gets old



[54MProductions]

I only just discovered them today and realised that they're playing at a festival I'm going to in a couple of weeks. :D

[dannyboy2504]

@54MProductions

Soundwave??

[54MProductions]

@dannyboy2504 damn straight buddy

[BeefjerkyisPeople]

Novallo, is a band that blows ass, don't go look them up. They're horrible.

[mexidancer]

@BeefjerkyisPeople Inception right thurr.

[BeefjerkyisPeople]

@mexidancer Not sure of your meaning..?

[thefatalepic]

@mexidancer I believe the word your looking for is "conception" ... this song rocks so hard you impregnated yourself.

[WhiteWalls75]

@thefatalepic thats weird because i showed my gf this song and she got pregnant haha

[XxKioStreikxX]

the drummer, the guitarrist and the bass are so fcking AWESOME!!!!!

[FluffyMuffina]

@XxKioStreikxX Don't forget about those awesomesauce vocals.

[SexRobotOfDoom]

@XxKioStreikxX So basically what you're saying is this band would actually be good if they got a different singer.

[XxKioStreikxX]

@SexRobotOfDoom exactly i agreed with that :B

[stapleboy456]

@SexRobotOfDoom the best part of this band is his voice and his insane vocal range

[SexRobotOfDoom]

@stapleboy456 De gustibus... my friend :P

[Monumentum616]

SO shit

[teamSKDM]

You know, i get confused. because the soldiers,and teh band playing BOTH look like protest...

[YupperDoodelz]

@teamSKDM They are.

[plap111]

this has almost 2 million views and 300 likes. wtf?

[54MProductions]

@plap111 3000

[BunnyPowerrr]

@plap111 Indeed! It should be waaaaay more!

[nekeishaxx]

I watch a woman that I know, my hope and my own future, blindfolded, to atone, a sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts. A sin that fed my children, that burned my smiles and cigarettes..

[MrAlienworkshopsk8er]

I started listening to these guys yesterday and I love them!!!! I don't see how someone could dislike this!!!!

[90fourninety]

It's amazing how they went from a bunch of 13 year olds releasing The Search For Truth, to a video with over 1,000,000 views.

[matiskaater]

0:56 i love this part

[sneakyfred]

How the FUCK have I never heard this band before? Insane music! :)

[SouthMadeDrunk]

had me up untill the guy opened his mouth

[HeavyDeath13]

@SouthMadeDrunk

dont worry, you will get used to it like i did. Afterwards you'll realise how good this band actually is.

[Pcgdean]

there are 236 deaf people on youtube

[SFLOVER94]

You know what i love about this? They're all around 19-21/22 when they made this. That takes incredible talent to pull it off as well as these guys do. I love this song, and this band.

[SharkMako]

i will let you dislike protest the hero if you can survive a roundhouse kick to the face from chuck norris. but even if you survive youll come out of the experience with no brain left so no i wont. i lied.

[SharkMako]

i will let you dislike protest the hero if you can survive a roundhouse kick to the face from chuck norris. but even if you survive youll come out of the experience with no brain left so no i wont. i lied.

[atari3200t]

@SharkMako good thing chcuk norris is no more powerful than anyone else who studies his martial arts. it would hurt but yeah im pretty sure i would surive a roundhouse kick or any other kick he decided to throw at me.

[oniman13]

@atari3200t I dunno dude, no joke, some martial artists have the capability to break ribs or puncture lungs with kicks....

But yeah, Chuck Norris was never that special. And now he's old.

[wakoko92]

in reference to sequioa throne, the vocalist like brad pitt, Inglourious Basterds FTW

[TRMN8R1985]

protest has so many different influences its like a rainbow of awesomeness with a pot of face melt at both ends!!!!.......BONG

[cbmatherstew]

Check out Hateface-Insignificance

[darylbuss]

why the blindfolds??? whatever, sounds alright

[ChristophGuitars22]

@darylbuss ...the song is called Blindfolds Aside...

[thehat222]

@darylbuss and in addition to Mr. ChristophGuitars22 prisoners were blindfolded before execution, historically speaking.

[techniquestrf]

Its very Intrsting song xD 

[RaMbOwgINI]

punk-influenced obviously

[TacticalTurtleguy]

@RaMbOwgINI Yea their first album, not kezia, before that, was very punk

[xtremechipmunk10]

this band is awesome. period.

[brandonrp00]

wow

good song

:)>

[AFSOCbum]

I was starting to get into it, then the vocalist opened his mouth.

[CrumBhosale]

@AFSOCbum rather it be all screaming?

[Hunter19965]

Auta einai songs se kano0n na ektwnonesai ;) kai se opoion dn aresei dn xreiazetai kan na mpainei kai na kanei dislike :S Alla mono LIKE xD

[Hunter19965]

Auta einai songs se kano0n na ektwnonesai ;) kai se opoion dn aresei dn xreiazetai kan na mpainei kai na kanei dislike :S Alla mono LIKE xD

[acewhole10198]

handsdown my favorite song by them

[TheDaughenbaugh]

well musically they are pretty good....but that voice is fuckin fag....his deep growl even sucks....too me its like lamb of god music with justin beiber singin.....i am a true metal head....PARKWAY DRIVE 4=LIFE.....but this shit just sucks.....

[TylerTheT]

@TheDaughenbaugh tru metal head? haha shut the hell up and go watch a parkway video insted of coming here to bitch

[TheDaughenbaugh]

@TylerTheT listin bitch fist.....i dont know or even care who you are....parkway will slap the PENI out of there ass....now just dont coment on my words i speak....i speak truth....now go tree a coon you fuckin hillbilly.....

[TylerTheT]

@TheDaughenbaugh hahaha oh snap looks like we got another anger nerd that thinks hes hardcore for listening to metal bitch take the buttplug out your ass and quit your bitching

[TheGreatWilshire]

@TheDaughenbaugh

in this album most of the growls are done by the bass player. if u listen to the fortress album hes a way better singer

[PITSIRIKAAAA]

his voice is freakin crazy

[crosswalkXpresspay89]

i only disliked because i found the longer version of this song

[ChainsawVsGod]

Ugh. All I've heard are good things about these guys but these vocals make me cringe. Sounds like a generic scene kid band.

[albalest55]

@ChainsawVsGod generic scene kid band?

man fuck off he doesnt have a whiny version of a pop voice this guy has an amazing vocal range and he is one of the most talented vocalists in the whole metal scene

[ChainsawVsGod]

@albalest55

Hey I'm just telling you what I'm hearing. Extremely unimpressed.

[albalest55]

@ChainsawVsGod I never tried to impress you.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@albalest55

Rofl. What the fuck are you talking about. Are you senile or something. Here my turn. Pillars are large. Bricks can be built to make large structures. Chocolate covered raisins are very tasty. Protest the hero sound like scene kid 17 year olds.

[albalest55]

@ChainsawVsGod Dude, your dumb as fuck.

just go

[ChainsawVsGod]

@albalest55

Gladly "dude".

[thetafour]

@ChainsawVsGod i agree... your dumb as fuck and this is over 4 years old.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@thetafour

D:

[Sup3rH4nZ]

@ChainsawVsGod You obviously don't know what a scene kid is if you think these are.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@Sup3rH4nZ

I'm not saying their scene kids. I know there not. I'm saying the vocalist sounds very sceney. And one dimensional. He seems to always sing in the exact same Key and repeat the same intervals over and over. Boring.

[Sup3rH4nZ]

@ChainsawVsGod You don't know what "sceney" is.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@Sup3rH4nZ

I'm take that as a compliment.

[giantspida]

@ChainsawVsGod They wrote and recorded this when they were 16-18 so I suppose that's why it sounds like they're "scene kid 17 year olds." Whether or not it sounds good is an opinion so it's rather pointless to debate it. I don't really see why people are getting offended by your remarks.

[TheRSEP]

This band has the best guitarist. there music is so epic never sounds the same they are so good.

[Aziriusz]

For me it's a little bit gay... All Shall perish or Gojira yeahhh but this ???? Danke

[fotwen]

it's almost like a new version of dream theater... EVERYBODY is just Kick ass!!! Only difference is... I like PTtH's singer better than DT's.

And honestly.. who cares about what kind of metal it is... It fuckin rocks... Why can't people just be happy with that.

[AfterClassTrip]

I'd love to play this on guitar! :))

[skippy7865]

@AfterClassTrip It's a bitch to say the least. I've spent hours on it and it's a bitch

[AfterClassTrip]

@skippy7865 I can learn it if I've gotten the time to. I juz can't do no sweeps.now that's a bitch. haha

[Bboychill210]

@AfterClassTrip its hard as fuck

[fotwen]

@AfterClassTrip Oh, It's hella fun!!!!!!

[zorlac86]

@AfterClassTrip It's fairly easy :)

[tbbw]

@AfterClassTrip Soon in Gitarr Hero XX in a store near you! ;)

[RuneAnime1]

they are mega skilled

[mikeportnoyfan]

everyone needs to shut up, they are trek-metal

fucking kids these days

[HAVuSCENEme]

@mikeportnoyfan idiots like you, who have to categorize music into hundreds of sub genres, ruin the musice. let metal be metal, screamo be screamo, and so on. wtf is "trek Metal"? ...moron.

[mikeportnoyfan]

@HAVuSCENEme

its sarcasm, and a joke because the are all star trek fans

I would seriously rather call these guys something stupid like trek metal rather than progressive or mathcore.

[IBiteTheHandThatFed]

@HAVuSCENEme He was kidding. Jesus, have a sense of humor.

[jmiester25]

@stewsupra98 Dream Theater is today's Rush. Protest the Hero is today's Motorhead and Rush ;)

[Milliamz]

"And no-one ever said that hope would be so beautiful"

[MatuellaSlipknot]

2:41 - 2:43, you can see a broken sabian cymbal, lol

[prypjat1394]

@MatuellaSlipknot i dont thing its broken... cymbals are sometimes cutted off for better sound

[MatuellaSlipknot]

@prypjat1394 yeah that's true, forgot that lol, but the cut is fucking ugly.

[prypjat1394]

music is awesome but i dont like all that screaming...

[jmiester25]

@prypjat1394 it's the influence of melodic black metal, which i dont like on it's own (i.e Children of Bodom), but PTH mixes it extremely well with progressive metal

[FluffyCat5550125]

Rody... <3

[clothednudist1]

BTBAM way better

[falige]

@clothednudist1 BTBAM and Protest the Hero are two distinctly different styles moron. One's agressive punk influenced metal, the other is progressive mathcore. Are you fucking high or some shit?

[xRUSTxINxPEACEx]

@falige You're the queer that calls it mathcore.. So you're in no place to call him a "moron". If he thinks they're similar then so be it. Get overrrrrrrrrr it.

[HAVuSCENEme]

@falige you are a disgrace to metal fans

[falige]

@HAVuSCENEme awww...I know I am. I'm sorry for using a couple of sub-genre labels. Not a big deal to be honest. As long as you don't focus around grouping bands together. I was just saying that these guys sound nothing like BTBAM as some one tried to point out. Oh well, I'm sorry I don't live up to your expectations of what a true metal fan is.

[BalistikTom]

one of the best songs ever? hmmm YEAH

[darthsasuke554]

Protest the Hero reminds me of the Light version of Between The Buried and Me

am i the only one that can sorta see the resemblance

[boomerboy1243]

I know the drummer! no joke!

[judorich010]

@boomerboy1243 Yeah and I am the singer. Its easy to say stuff thats not tru

[jmiester25]

@boomerboy1243 i have a friend named Matt Carlson, and before he found out who the drummer was, he planned on naming his son Moe Carlson. now he definitely is lollll

[themaninblack951]

LOL what the fack did i just listen to!!!!!???? I really do not like PTH... who likes that singing? Like.. really. You guys are dumb.. fo real! Guitars.. meh ok..takes some talent to sweep. Not too much though. Listen to a band like Kataklysm and reckognize good music.

[cottonballs47]

@themaninblack951 then go listen to some Kataklysm

[3heishi3]

@themaninblack951 I respect your opinion, but for me, you can't get much better than Protest the Hero.

They're like my favorite band.... (along with Rise Against and Fall of Troy)

[themaninblack951]

@3heishi3 Thank you! I'm not one for the sweeps for 4 mins. ( I know thats not exact, just a figure of speech).

[jmiester25]

@themaninblack951 it's the influence of melodic black metal. i know it could be overwhelming, but at least its not 4 minutes straight ;)

[Jerry35551312]

@3heishi3 Rise Against + PTH + PwD = Eargasam.

[Jerry35551312]

@themaninblack951 Obvious trollll.....

[themaninblack951]

@Jerry35551312 Nope no trolling here. These guys just blow.

[JHuntProductions]

i like the long version of the song better but this video is awesome :P
