Rise Against - Hero of War (Music Video)

[minookaLB51]

This song is anti-war song yes but it is suppose to be showing the hardships and blood shed of war to present how bad it is. The singer was in war and he wants to llet every1 know war isnt CoD and bullshit like that. Its real and theres nothing good about it.

[minookaLB51]

The scenes never presented the lyrics very well. Thumbs down.

[xZeriousHardstyle]

I reckon the song's an anti-war song. It's now 3 years ago I made this video, not to mention - I was (as stated before) just testing the abilities of Sony Vegas, rather than portraying the song in it's core meaning. So bear with me for a second here. If I intended to do a completely serious music video, I wouldn't be using something as limited as Fallout, but probably rather an open-ended game that could portray a regular american world as well.

[Rebldoomer]

omg FALLOUT + RISE AGAINST = EXCELLENT combo!!!

[TheCmworld]

isn't this anti-war song? The ending is so sad. I think this video is the complete opposite for this song but good job playing the game.

[Boomy01]

All you're doing in the game is walking around..... And then ocasionaly shooting people when he says a HERO of war... It makes no sense, it's an anti-war song ffs <,<

[janskater12]

the song is so fucking good ! but the video is not a antiwar video ! damn

[crazycowman96]

fallout?

[deshon05]

this was super balls!!!!!!!

[JLKozak]

this isnt even the music video?

[Zero0Commenter]

"A hero of war, yeah thats what I'll be,

and when I come home, they'll be damn proud of me"

A hero doesnt goes back.

[12Filo12]

game fallout...

[TheMw2209]

haha can't look in hq

[DKTechn0DK]

the song is amazing but... u havent the made song and i think the video kinda suck. so 1/5* :'I

[ChiikenDippersFTW]

dude, that vidoe of fallout 3 =D best game evurr =D

[CanHardy]

Ey Guys it´s not the game that is good the song is damn good and the fucking truth so don´t talk 4 the game talk 4 the song ok

[lucaspersson96]

Fallout!!

[Tr3v3336]

this song is Pro Soldiers and ANTI war.

[BlackMamba1023]

not exactly, it is very anti war, but they say that soldiers are couragous and should be glorified, but only to an extent, they might have the best intentions, but might make poor decisions ("And then i join in" part). in other words they are over glorified

[gsg9freak1]

LOL FALOUT § IS VERY GOOD

[asherman10]

FAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLOUUUUUTTT 3

[KillerRock88]

fuck off the video... this SONG is fucking great!

[d8tona12]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW FALLOUT 3

[CrushedIce24]

EPIC FAIL

you haven't understood the meaning of the lyrics.

the song is so amazing!

[NECROMANIAC86]

wats the name of the song in the end?? :)

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Headhunterz - Digiwave

[gasflame62]

could you send me the song? that would be great, Thanks!

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Digiwave or Hero of War?

Regardless, PM me instead.

[SideOutMedia]

@xZeriousHardstyle send me the song too, pm me.

[Halagonian876]

this is digusting, you should be ashamed, this is a beautful song, agaisnt war and you sickly twisted it with your video game.

[gasflame62]

fallout 3 is about you trying to stop an ongoing war! I'm sorry but i think the song fits fallout 3 perfectly!

[liittl3sk4t3rb0y]

@F3aRwVwM3 the two bands you mean..are Rise Against, and Rage Against the Machine, aren't they?

sorry for bad english, im from germany ;D

[aldehydinliquidus]

YOu haven't really understood the mesage of the song!!!!!!!

It is an ANTI-WAR song!!!!!!!

If you want to underline this song with an computer game you should employ a game in which you make peace after having killed a lot of people....

[N0irCrims0n]

@aldehydinliquidus The song is an anti war song yes but it's more about regret than making peace,Killing for what you believe in,caught between wrong and right,regrets and orders,and trying to survive...so I believe the video works fairly well.

[N0irCrims0n]

@aldehydinliquidus Oh and in Fallout 3 you CAN unify people under peace if you want.

[IchigoKilledMario]

@aldehydinliquidus in fallout 3 ur kinda fighting to purefy water so that way everyone will stop fighting for one of the most basic supliess just saying but i c wat ur saying

[Sedon96]

@aldehydinliquidus dude i love rise against, but i love this game, so calm down

[117Jorn]

@aldehydinliquidus Ya, and also It would be a bit better if you wernt killing everyone in Rivet city along with all those other civilians. lol.

[adamtried]

@aldehydinliquidus Infact this game involves giving you the choice of making peace, or doing what ever it takes to survive.

[TheUnidentified2]

OMG YOU KILLED HARKNESS!!!XD

[CameronFLemieux]

great choice to use fallout 3 as the video for the song

[42h2]

man fallout 3 was perfect since you can go all slow-mo and blow people's heads off

[jogirich]

i would. but just german beer. best!

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Agreed!

[jogirich]

beer!

[xZeriousHardstyle]

You givin' a round? :)

[Buskie1]

Jesus people, we realize that videogames are nothing like war, we don't need you to tell us ;-;

I liked the video :P

A good song, a good game.

[Amythest96]

DomesticPowered09 is right dude.... LIFE isnt a videogame so why would WAR be a videogame? I'm really disappointed cuz ive seen all these half ass comments on these song pages & it sickens me to read ppl want nothing to do with war & dont respect ANY of the veterans...& to soliders that read this:

I SOLUTE YOU!!!

I also hope to maybe speak to you sometime soon after I finish High school ( 4 years more & ill be where I want to be)

[apachepilot2251]

i see what you're trying to get to... but I have to agree. This video sends the wrong message. The song is about a combat veteran who regrets his actions. This just desensitizes people to killing.

[baker2154]

look i think that its great that you want to make a tribute but i am a combat controller in the USAF, ive been to iraq and im leaving for Afgan in 21 more days and i find this disrespectful. you need to under stand son war is no video game in war thaere is no redoing anything there is no respawning you get shot its game over. war is no video game i know from expierence. you dont hurt and you dont cry when you shoot someone on a video game you do in real life. video games have no family people do

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Listen, I am easily aware of the difference. My uncle is currently stationed in Iraq, my grandfather was sent to Vietnam back in the days. Don't think I don't know what it's like - This video, again, was merely playing with Sony Vegas for the first time. To whoever else had something to add, I DO know the difference from the song's meaning, to the reckless killing in this video - Again, I was NOT trying to bring forth the meaning, just testing Sony Vegas.

[woweuro]

thats fallout 3...

[xZeriousHardstyle]

And, your point is?(:

[TheEggman3]

why did you do fallout

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Damn, accidentaly removed a comment instead of replying d;

- Anyways, just to settle the "video like the song" thing. I don't want to create a video resembling the song. That's not the meaning with a music video. A video should show relations but not the direct happening. Linkin Park - What I've Done. Nothing like the song, but shows the morale of the song. Enrique Iglesias - Hero. Same thing. So, won't make a video that resembles the exact song, no.

[DomesticPowered09]

this is disrespectful if you ask me. War is nothing like a video game and that is what stupied videos like this show. Plus the song is talking about how hard it is to kill a man. Exact oposite of what the video shows.

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Look at my reply to Baker2154.

[xXAerzteFanXx]

Man sry but this vid does not match with the song, cause the video says: "yeah, killing is cool, letz get some guns and kill some people", and the song tells us, that killing sux and war is shit.

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Read my reply to Baker2154 above.

[MrPythie]

You could do it better if you tell a story with your video.

I only saw a man killing a lot of people in the refrain, and walking in the rest of the song.

Nice video anyway but it can be movie with a little bit more work

[Idontknowaname91]

What's the song at the end? Nice vid.

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Think I already mentioned it - The song at the end is called Digiwave by Headhunterz :)

[azemiopsfeae]

this song reminds me too much of My Chemical Romance "The Black Parade" killed it for me

[flygiga]

Best movie ever xD 10000000000*10000000000

Stars xD

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Glad you liked it :)

[Assassincas]

The video was really good but the end?

that really spoiled it :S

[jpowt1]

my pop crys when he heres this song :| i know why so brutal out there

[Borat2403]

5* for the song

the game its fallout 3

[xXkillaXx911]

fallout 3?

[SaintFoggie]

Pretty cool, but mabye you should try Operation Anchorage for the vid

[sikchild247]

nice one man

[CletusMcPhee]

That was sweeeeeet

[immortalpuppylol]

good but it doesnt rlly match the video

[psychee1]

Not a had video actually. It started out pretty bland with the walking and I was worried you'd have various scenes with nothing but walking but it turned out alright actually.

[maze993]

crap übelzter crap kauf dirs originale und up das dann ...

[BaconMobile2]

I beleve that a Miracle has just happened.

There was a 'Hero of war' music video WITHOUT a Political and Ethical debate.

=O

[JanUnknown]

fucking true xD hahahaha

[DubItLikeThat]

Nice!!

[MrCrashOveride]

awsome!

[tons377]

way to make a video almost completely irrelevant to the song -.-

[GRimjowEsp06]

sweet video what would of been awesome would be if you had th brotherhood of steels armor in the video

[peanutsdragon]

love it also wats the name of the techno

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Headhunterz - Digiwave

[bradleythebear17]

not the best editing i've ever seen, but pretty good. well done.

[TMontannaScarface]

fantastic

[lordserf]

the video is good but im sorry to say that it really doesnt go with the song that much...again though good video

[1osthope]

awesome video dude

[Arelyws]

Nice one.. awesome song, found the ringer today at Complimentarysongs. Com great video exept the sound sux on my computer!

[EternalVengeance7]

love it

[tyedood101]

i LOVE rise against (Y) fav band

~rise against all the way!!~

[squiggimp]

is this fallout 3?

[lBahamutl]

ya it is, awesome game!

[xninetaileddemonx]

the best video of Hero of War i have seen on the internet . you did great congrats on the best vid.

[dawackler]

i defnetly dont think so!

[harragrew]

totaly agree. This video has nothing to do with this song.

[Airsoft4989]

Video is horrible.

[vampiresrunning]

this song is good song it is a sad song though good video

[xZeriousHardstyle]

And that's just about 100% irrelevant! What does it even have to do with ANYTHING!?

- Let people like whatever music they do, without being disturbed by stupid comments like that - Tell you what - I hardly ever listen to Rise Against.. I'm a Hardstyle/Techno lover.. But I just used the song for the video - Doesn't mean I only like Rap/Hip Hop/Techno. I like all kinds of music - If everyone who liked A7X had to Copy+Paste that shit up there.. Youtube would be spammed! So stop it already!

[gameplaya117]

Rap is murder, literaly. First, rap and hiphop suck. Second, they engourage violence with the "gangstas" and "niggaz". Have any of your friends been shot over gang wars? Likely not. Rap stands for all that kill him.

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Not all rap is like that - Many rap artists just explain their lifes. And Hip Hop never killed anyone - Fort Minor.. That's Hip Hop. Doubt their songs had people killed, ever!

[doesitreallymatter7]

92% of kids have turned to rap,pop,& hip hop...you realize that 75% of statistics you hear are false...right?

[uberjoker1]

I hav decided to put the patch of our flag on my shoulder cus i wuld like to see other ppl experience da fredom of choice that we have here in the US, Crewmate-how old are you? have you even decided to join? many use da same excuse over and over "the gov is corupt dats y i dont join" and i noticed that women are the main group dat r against US in iraq, yet dey hav fougt for their right to vote and be eqal to men, but we cant help others experience the same? put politic aside & look for the futur

[trolm3]

Dude use correct grammar if your going to try to have a real conversation, your spelling sucks, nobody is going to listen to an unintelligent dumb ass.

[867530nine]

Why did you massacre Rivet City?

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Because I was bored?

[NewCrewmate]

I will stand by my Flag and my Country, but I will not stand by a corrupt government. Sometimes war is necessary, but only when fought to protect freedom and not to gain wealth.

[bigmancp9221]

An intelligent man you are. I mean it, no sarcasm. That is the difference between the purposes of war.

[McFoote]

i love this song, is their an official video though? If so post it I want to see it

[Dunepsycho283]

very good, but could have been much better if u didnt use clips over again

[Chellybean2014]

guys in case you havnt noticed but america has been on of the best nations for decades and maffew is right, just because bush started this war doesnt mean that america is a war hungry nation. In fact, there are only a few thousand people like that, and i know war is wrong. War is the worst thing that could possibly happen cuz it leads to the deaths of hundred or even millions. And dont even respond to this comment if your gonna say america sucks, which it doesnt. Red White And Blue!!

[sabirwolfknight]

Apparently you missed all of the smaller, less "advertised" wars we've started and played a part in. If you pay close attention to the world, we've been behind most of the world's conflicts.

Thank the CIA for getting in everyone's business, and assassinating peaceful leaders who support democracy.

[kmndi]

War is an engine of change, used for gaining money, power, and influence. America used Afghanistan and Iraq for many many purposes. Besides, the government doesn't really care about "people" dying. The losses are not enough to really impact the military power "that counts", and the deaths are used to further socialism goals in the end. We (The gov) are better than the Indians when it comes to not wasting any resource. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", but the same bank funds both.

[Lazydude125]

in my opinon chellybean2014, people are naturally violent.

[LazerHGS]

6/10

Could be better.

[johnnakshatracena]

AWSOME HEADSHOTS

[themagicmonkey123]

shooting peoples head off nice.

[Eagballs]

Very nice video mate!

Goes really well with the song, especially the slow motion parts

Kinda adds effect and meaning :)

[Grommit10001000]

brill music video m8 love rise against and that game ;) awesome :D

[AlPier1983]

Word of advice MaFFew101,

If you're trying to argue an american's defence, don't tell people that your american,

less bias, see

[Brokenenglish89]

awesome, fallout !

[mikeuot]

Rise Against isn't Canadian... they're from Chicago

[oblivionFROOB]

lol fall out 3?

[acefighter85]

He's not talking about the flag itself.. He's talking about what the flag represents. America. The song is talking about how he was a young patriot until he joined the military. How war corrupts, how he entered war as a bubbling youth and left as a different person. And, when he talks about the flag gathering dust I think he's talking about how many people don't realize what the men and women of our military do to protect this country. Because there is no respect where respect is due...

[EricBallard]

I think they were talking about blind nationalism towards your country, and how people don't realize some of the things that happen in war and they just blindly support their country, no matter what, and they never think it's "wrong".

[simonhm2]

it probably isn't talking about the USA considering it's a Canadian band

[MaFFew101]

it prolly is talking about the USA cuz everyone blindly stereotypes the USA as brutal war hungry ignorant people when were not, they cant seem to seperate the government from the people and even soldiers, they didnt wanna be in iraq ne more than u wanted them to be there, this song refrences things about iraq nd defends the terrorist that they took from his house nd friends, nd the threat of a suicide bomber that turned out was just an innocent woman, the soldier protected his life

[Kjermy]

actually, not many thinks that it's the american way of thinking... Off course, some does, but most think it's the government and bush who is so war hungry, not the american civillians

I sure think it's a big difference, and I think the song is meant to the leaders who start wars, and send people to war, not every people in america....

[cardboardsamurai182]

no...rise against is american, from Chicago.

[101ZOOYORK101]

lol they say there canadian becouse they really dont wanna be nown as americans after every thing they have done

no offence americans "there words not mine"

peace out

[cardboardsamurai182]

i guess that makes sense. being american isnt all that great....

[Stag15Carbine]

nice

[hesaid15]

I think it is a great video, and i mean great, just doesnt go well with the song.

[kdog7000]

pretty nice video.

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Well, thanks - Gotten better at video editing since then though - Not really made any music videos since - But you could go to my profile and check the "Show Me Your Style" if you wish to see - I'll start working on a new video as soon as I get a request, I suppose :D

[afireinsideofme13]

Seriously, there is worse. Much, much worse.

[thm951]

pretty good work on the vid

[1Scofield1]

amazing song...horrible vid...waste of time...

[jasperandpimentel]

i LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

[TopaZProductions]

how do you get the camera so close :S I think I messed it up

[xZeriousHardstyle]

I'm using the zoom, slow-mo thing, and editing in Sony Vegas - I can just cut out sections of the screen, and modify speed.

[zuron00]

I thought the ending was amazing... If you pick the good one that is... I had my music playlist playing in the background... And right when the door whur before you go into the chamber to turn on Project Purity..................this song came on. MY grilfriend started to cry. I just beat it like... thirty minutes ago. She still found it touching. I have to say. I can't say anything bad about that game. IT was all around good.

[bakkagain]

its not letting me watch in high quality.HELLLLLLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!­!

[knightmare4321]

chaos in rivet city lol and really nice... but try not to repeat scenes

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Yeah, noticed that.

Somehow too stupid to figure it out before rendering the movie.

It was like half way through editing when it suddenly struck me - "You idiot. You paid for Sony Vegas, and yet you're too stupid to, when you actually try to make something decent, screw up, and add the same scene twice.. More than once!" - Got pretty angry at myself, tbh :P

[nano932]

not bad pretty gnarly

[gothicbunny13]

the song goes great with the game i havent beat it yet cuz my friend said the ending sucks so i should play it for all its worth b4 i beat it but i love the game

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Well - The ending is pretty much a "Deus Ex Machinima". A cheap ending.

Just like - They had no more imagination, and chose to end the game just there. I don't want to spoil too much - But they get a new leader (forgot what they're called) in 101 and even throw you out of the vault - Telling you never to return.

The game has a lot of twists that you'd find crazy, and seeing the ending ruined the game for me...

[iamnuff1992]

they dont allways get a new leader... you dont have to kill the overseer.

and the whole "your a hero but you have to leave" stuff is a tribute to fallout 1.

but i agree, they should have a few more missions (like changing the trade routes, or defending the vault) then after that vault 101 could be a real town, with traders and stuff. but instead they just lock you out...

also, yeah shit ending. i dont have the faintist idea why they chose not to use sandbox gameplay style,

[Meeyoh]

buggs me that he look so stiff when he walks..

like hes having a hard-on or something xD

[killar255]

Tip: try not to repeat the same secenes

overall, nicely done, best part was the intro with the lone ranger theme

[xZeriousHardstyle]

Thanks, I'll remember that.

[WoWmithriel]

fallout 3 is great, so is this song.

[Smitty632]

we made our own. check out peterwisdom1 and you'll see our unofficial music video

[jaebooth19]

wow never minde thats fallout 3 my bad

[WoWmithriel]

lol

[jaebooth19]

u would ruin it by putting the song to wow
