Matthew Good - Alert Status Red

[chubb087]

Drummer go's hard lol great song! Good job

[STGHAF]

only thing i dont like is how the drummer is always hitting the symbol,its not christmass music,other then love this tune,,,enyone have a vid of how to play this,tabs suck

[WingZeto]

I remember being an extra in this video. Amazing day. :)

[ward1957]

such a sweet tune....love it...♥ I hear it lots...:)

[RileyWillson]

@Kristy102678 Because he makes sure he isnt popular. He has rejected trophies, and clearly stated he doesnt like popularity. It's not a bad quality, it just means he doesnt want to have a mass of fans.

[BluesGuitarJam]

The best part about Matthew Good is the fact that he doesn't try to be anything he's not. He plays his own style of music that is anything but matchable to any other artist.

[nardo363636]

Canadian people always love boasting artists that are Canadian......In the US we just expect everyone is American sooo we dont constantly say "hes American!" cause pretty much everyone is....

[DoYouFeelDeath]

@nardo363636 we canadians want to make sure others know hes canadian and not just some other american

[cgord31]

@nardo363636 Ya well that's a country of 250 million versus a country of 30 million for you. our culture sometimes gets drowned out by the Americans culture

[nardo363636]

@cgord31 310 million

[Kristy102678]

I used to wish he was more popular, and I can't figure out why he's not. I guess it's because he is just different from what most people like. I don't know, but now that I have been listening to him for 15 years, even though nobody I know really does, I am GLAD that he's not more popular. In a way I feel like I have him all to myself. Plus I think he enjoys just having a small group of Hardcore Fans.

[courtney203]

<3 perfect song

[groupieflies]

Tired of looking at Lady Gagas face whenever I want to listen to Matt Good. D:<

[sookyz]

im sitting here at work at 7:40 am trying to open up this store but as soon as i started singing this song i just had to start drumming on the table and bobbing my head back and forth. I made the effort to sign in because i love this song so much. fuck. FUCK. WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD MUSIC

[DoYouFeelDeath]

@sookyz main stream pop music and all that gay crap

[zlALEXlo]

@sookyz Auto tune and money. That's what happened.

[mitchqqqqqq]

Sam Roberts, Matthew Good, Steve Bays. All great Canadian musicians!

[stormeeshouting]

My very Very Very first concert was a Matthew Good concert, he was Matthew Good Band then but none the less it was an amazing concert <3 Loved this guy ever since I was a kid (:

[xtylerux]

So this song is based on Columbine?

[ispeakmymindonly]

@xtylerux not really its about terrorism and violence and it alludes to the US terror warning system. but in the video it flashes footage of the columbine highschool massacre

[imtoocoolTEEHEE]

i would have liked to play drums in this video.. lol

[tongotee]

My two fav bands Matthew Good Band and Our Lady Peace, both originated from the 90's, both are alternative rock bands, only one of them still makes music, it sucks that Matthew Good "Band" (not Matthew Good) had to stop making music.. I find there music was better when they were a band, im not saying he's not good solo, i just find there music was better when they were a band. By the way @geroy01 i totaly agree with that comment! Everybody thumbs up that comment!

[geroy01]

This should have millions of views!!!

[rochey1010]

"You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off

Those bad ideas that feel so soft

May they never forget you"

"Alert Status Red

But the Sun comes up up instead"

So catchy :D

[ReginaRules31]

I looked this up after reading about columbine, and I find that it's actually good. pleasant surprise, (:

[Humananahello]

@ReginaRules31 Same

[tsauve1]

Who could dislike this? I'll check out some shitty song and everyone is saying how good it is and how no one could ever dislike it and i think what crap, but this song? It's one of the greatest songs ever, great job Matt.

[Defiant2379]

I'm getting some fucking "Page Rage" at this fucking page right now because of these fucking commercials!!!!!!!!! >:-(

[yvettefoto]

Democracy is highly overrated if you're a minority of one. What if you are the only one right about a very important event or discovery? Do you expect that even 1 in 100 people will have any idea what you're talking about? Let alone realize it it the only choice and vote for it . The public won't even hear about it! My gov. doesn't rep me at all. I have a terrible problem and nobody will help. An ordinary person is worth shit in our usual Free World. Aliens are real and we are a house divided!

[svenkiH]

stupid Glee commercial on my Matthew Good. What the hell is up with that?

[BeeHerman]

@svenkiH it could be worse, I got Lady Gag a. >-O~

[MajinHurricane]

you know what`s funny, matt good is probably one of the best canadian artists, yet his videos have 50k views while some other uninspired shit, has way more.

Matt is also one of the best live performers I`ve ever been too.

[flanniganable]

i agree!!!

[28Carrot]

@MajinHurricane I like it better this way.



[cgord31]

@MajinHurricane agreed, but the hip and the trews are a great canadian act as well

[brunettepudd1]

GO CUNUCKS GO!!!!!!!

[AdrianHiitman]

Much more than good already!

[ironlion7800]

Alert status red is the highest rated terrorist threat level. "But the sun comes up instead". I think matt is questioning how much we buy into the fear. Freedom is only in the dictionary. Artist like matt good help show the world for how it really is, and not what CNN/CBC/FOX want you to percieve. Go find out for yourself.

[jtagful]

how can someone ever dislike this song whoever did were on some kind of drug and thought they were listening to friday by rebecca black

[BlackDude41]

@jtagful Its really been 7 months since that song? Lol that went by fast.

[kcdesert05]

Two people were not paying attention...

[quixote22]

Centennial!

[613Drums]

makes me think of R.E.M. a little bit

[Julianhache]

2 people couldn't find freedom in the dictionary.

[TheStarfox187]

how come theres a ''mattew good band''

[365daysgone]

is the bassist in this video the bassist from Matthew Good Band?!

[staifanbonin]

@365daysgone yes it is :D

[staifanbonin]

@365daysgone yes it is :D

[dianebottle2008]

i seen the band in thunder bay ontario years ago at the landmark Inn i was standing two feet away from them but i didn't say anything they were watching a fat chick swimming it was funny at the time they were number one on the muchmusic countdown it was a memorable moment still an awesome band

[dfbhcf]

Pause quickly at 0:16 there's a picture of the Columbine killers.

[wieeinengel99]

who's the dick who disliked this? This is personal...

[zyclonb6]

@wieeinengel99 me?

[zyclonb6]

@wieeinengel99 me? I people that give a fuck what is liked and disliked by spoiled i-phone using teenagers.

[xxxpain123xxx]

lets all gang up on the guy who disliked this

[uechi11]

I love the duct tape on the mic......

[zyclonb6]

@uechi11 True Canadian style lmao

[LouTheMetalhead]

fuckin wicked song! 

[mysweetsense]

Matthew Good > ALL rap

[techno42087]

[shygroove]

Someone please tell me who this hot babe drummer chick is!!! I've lusted over her for 6 years now!!!!! I love girl drummers!!!! She's soooooooooooo hot!!!!! There's something overwhelmingly sexy about a chick pounding out a kick ass beat in a rock song!!!!!

[wolfclaws444]

LOVING THE FEMALE DRUMER!!! GIRL CAN ROCK!

[wolfclaws444]

see this music makes you THINK! justin beiber dosnt! THANK YOU SO MUCH MATT I OWE YOU MY LIFE!

[dianebottle2008]

seen him years ago in thunder bay at the landmark when he was with the original band thye were laughing at a fat lady in the pool

[emerylds]

@judgegixxer *lol* That sucks! I can understand your disappointment.

[MrNanni420]

Good Old Canadian Band, so many of em

[trailbikerharo]

haha judgegixxer! that would suck big time eh. big difference between great music (matthew good)... and ok band like dave matthews.

[judgegixxer]

I wanted Mathew Good Band for Christmas and was greatly dissapointed when I unwrapped the Dave Mathews Band.

[Wucas666]

so where exactly is the anti war message in this?

[cant4get99]

he actually uses the footage of Columbine in it...i was scared of the ended but it was made in great taste i think anyway

[ShredBike]

Filmed at Centennial in Coquitlam, BC, Canada :D my school!

[cgord31]

90's in a nutshell

[MrStickNote]

@cgord31 ahaha except this song was released in 2004 O_o

[brettbob69]

@MrStickNote He actually got in a lot of trouble for using the actual footage but I would have to agree with you....nothing shown was in bad taste

[appraisehell]

Im pretty sure its more about living in a fear mongering world, where they keep coming out with these fucking terror alerts and nothing happens, and how we just live in a fear based world. Its our wilderness

[8wonderwhy]

great song, great lyrics, great beat, great band. absolutely amazing!

[BradProulx]

Check out my Cover of Alert Status Red :) Nothing compares to Matthews true brilliance though..

[AlexiSundukov]

FUC K YOUrslf VEVO!!!!  F U

[HelpfulLawrence]

@AlexiSundukov wahts your problem buddy ? we all LOVVVVEEE VEVO , in your face. In fac t, if u changed one of the V's to and L .. than VELO becomes an anagram for LOVE ... but you wouldnt understand, the only time you have known love is when your soul is gripped by the methadone pipe.

[AlexiSundukov]

@HelpfulLawrence FRACK YO|Ur self 2 unhelpfallWarence lOl "we all love vevo" LoL "Methadone" Lol Speakin from experience lOl vEvO Smokin some VeVo!!! loL

Bow down before the system "V E V O" it's another way to shove advertising down your throat. "V E V O"

Eh? Lets go listen to Advertising On Police Cars "VEVO yoU fuc|K"

[manguy2000]

Teenage girls - probably the scariest thing in the world, lol.

Combine a sense of immortablity, high school pressures and newly discovered feelings (PMS). One deadly combination.

[r3n3gade420]

has their drummer always been a female?

[FSJGuy78]

@r3n3gade420 no, this is him solo the band was different, he's played with a few people, not sure if she did the whole album or just this song.

[theGUYwho1]

hate how so many people like this song, but dont push the thumbs-up-like button... so far only me and 62 other people did out of the 25,893 people who watched and listend

[CapitalgCapitals]

Good Tune...!!

[AttilatheThrilla]

this is a song about the Columbine shootings ppl

[eracelmier]

matt good is one ofthe reasons i like rock over hiphop and rap in rap you get a black guy talking bout drugs or alcohol or banging so many chicks and geting a disease yet matts music and rock and roll is telling the other side of the story.

[cockandendlessballs]

@eracelmier i love matt good.. but you do not know real hiphop

[eracelmier]

@cockandendlessballs are you talking atmosphere or akon?

[notorious881]

Vevo and bieber can both suck it

[DCMA247]

please come back to me denise! Your what I need and what I want, I can't believe you did this to me... just come back please and let's try again <3 omg

[73gboy]

Pretty Good Laid Back track to listen n chill too..

[FSJGuy78]

Hot drummer :) lol 

[sandbox390]

centennial high hahaha

[JCardNorthernBorder]

Actually, I challenge all of you to think about something in society, good or bad that gets overlooked on an average day. Then think of who it affects and how.

[LindenRox]

Dats my old school in this video, and Mathew Good's old high school as well.

[lan00b]

VEVO YOU FUCKING SUCK AT PLAYING VIDEOS SO DAMN LAGGY. FUCK YOU WMG

[OMG123itsME1]

pause @ 3:04 and theres columbine footage.. thats kinda sick that the vids are public

[misanthrope013]

@OMG123itsME1these dudes always had great music videos. i remember when much music had a parental warning before playing this video, for those split second columbine scenes.

[ikissedasquirel]

@OMG123itsME1 it's not sick. it's good that it's showing a a tragedy and help us be aware of what had happened and help us not let that happen again- I'm Canadian it wasn't in my country, it has happened in my country but still I beleive we can prevent this from happening again-. it's just like the footage of 9/11 it's disturbing but in all it is the scary truth.

[JCardNorthernBorder]

@ikissedasquirel i complety agree with both you and xpandion above. I don't agree in the idea of censorship. All that causes is ignorance because the truth gets hidden or the meaning lost. Having this footage made public allows us to see what happened and learn from the mistakes of our blindness. Only once we learn to see our weaknesses will we be able to fix them.

With that being said, I am also Canadian and i feel deeply for the families and friends who were affected by Columbine & 9/11.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

fuck, i remember this song.... wow, i was 10 when it came out.

[sliver321123]

@safetosaydontquoteme

So you're what...13 now?

[safetosaydontquoteme]

@sliver321123 16

[LOYALxTOxNONE]

@sliver321123  fail

[sliver321123]

@LOYALxTOxNONE

@safetosaydontquoteme

Twas a joke, guy, pal.

You may as well be 13 :D It was a couple years ago.

[96JUSTIN]

catchy guitar line, amazing lyrics, and a great message by a great canadian band what more could you want?

Thanks Matt

[xOD1Nx]

@96JUSTIN That hot chick playing the drums... Drool =D PS MATT GOOD FUCKING ROCKS HAIL CANADIAN MUSICIANS WE FUCKING RULE!

[trailbikerharo]

@96JUSTIN you forgot to to add a pretty hot female drummer as well..

[xpandion]

Some may take this song as "anti-war", I take it as pro "think". Whatever he meant, the video and lyrics show what we take for granted.

For those soldiers that believe in the eyes they encounter, you are making a difference.

For those that take away choice, we have it. May God grant it to any that desire it.

With friends that help.

Any other intention is questionable.

Democracy is freedom of the spirit.

"Those sapphire girls, we will never forget you"

Beautiful.

[zyclonb6]

@xpandion I served as a Combat Engineer for 8 years and had to quit....I had a good career going; but. In Afghanistan, I will promise you it's a lost cause. The people (ie. the general public), don't seem to be bothered to help themselves, even with our in-put/help/aide. They are LAZY, don't give a f&*k and seem fine living in shit. I spent 13 months of my life there. Until you do that don't preach "poor Afghans". From a computer screen in your comfortable chair, flat screen TV and BMW. Truth

[adammackenzie]

i agree !!!!!!!?? wicked song !!

[JG129]

no comments, what gives ??? Great song !

[adjharry]

I've had this video favoritized a few times but keeps getting booted for copyright reasons...so i imagine thats what gives...newest upload to this video
