Rise Against - Tip the Scales

[effinerika]

I saw Rise Against last Sunday & lemme tell you, it was fucking life changing.

[NerdGamer23]

@effinerika lucky you they dont come to michigan theyre the reason im taking guitar lessons and gonna start a band

[MilanMovies95]

These machines feed on the tears

Of broken lives and dying dreams

We're throwing wrenches in the gears....oh,sorry im too busy singing to come up with a good top comment

[SUICIDERULES1223]

beast



[callmeclean]

Really awesome song :D :D :D :D

[95metalstorm]

They talk about serious things and the music is amazing. One can't find this kind of music nowadays. Songs are all about money, drugs, sex or a combination of the three.

[UncalledForGiraffe]

Fuck SOPA! Fuck the Congress!

[MrAntonius112]

I honestly thnk this is the best song I've ever heard

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

this is definitely one of the angriest albums.really the first three were so much angrier than sufferer atr and endgame.

[Manofsky2]

Although I personally don't think this is RA's best song I defiantly think that these lyrics pretty much sum up what RA is all about, at least for me. Anyone else think that?

[MatthewSpanjer]

@Manofsky2 Defiantly agree with you. I love the lyrics.

[alanihawaii123]

@Manofsky2: to me this is the song that might have inspired "Prayer of the Refugee" because they're about similar things. No this isn't their best, but it really makes you think about they way America treats foreign immigrants/workers. "Our language buried inside, these lungs that keep us alive, we breathe so selfishly." (one of the best lines. =D) Also I don't think this sums up ALL Rise is about....just their strong stand on fair trade. Idt there's a song that can sum it all up.

[Manofsky2]

@alanihawaii123 true it's not about everything, but I think if I could use one lyric from them to describe them it would be from this song "These machines feed on the tears ... We're throwing wrenches in the gears, our lives will not be lived in vain"

[alanihawaii123]

I love how it's got the charge and intensity of "Blood to Bleed" but has a message and a voice like "The First Drop". =D This has to be one of their best albums, ever. I love the sound, I love every song on the album....next to "Sufferer and the Witness" this one is my favorite, and it's a close second.

[LauraLovesMocha]

Siren Song is seriously one of the best albums ever.

[crazidoode]

I dont care what u say, this song's f***ing awesome

[opops13]

RISE AGAINST F@CKING RULES BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo

[canaydemedian]

3 reasons to wear condoms...

[csouthers777]

The intro sounds actually like a slower version of the chorus in A Gentleman's Coup. Not the guitar, but the singing could go PERFECTLY with that.

[scoott04]

one of my favorites! love the meaning

[MrXmonkeyx]

HOLY CRAP, i think i just had an eargasm

[Favre4ever123]

Are we worth remembering?

[ryanshaunkelly]

NadePaulKuciGravMcKi

[New8Firework8Kids]

Lol I thought I hated this kind of music?! :S fckng amazing!

[yellowhummer7]

omg my brother just said he sounds like a girl. O M FREAKING J WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FAMILY???

[alanihawaii123]

@yellowhummer7: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAA!!! Your brother needs to get his hearing checked. Someone saying he can't sing is one thing, and that I've heard....saying he sounds like a f**king girl? That's the first time I've EVER heard that. I mean really? What the hell kind of female singers does he hang around? XD I'll be impressed if there's even a human out there that can sound like this.

[IraniBoy9]

doesnt the intro sound a bit like Endgame?

[xDSlimz]

@IraniBoy9 just because its a bass intro

[12hoyebr]

@IraniBoy9 dont you mean the beginning of Endgame sounds like this? This was wayyy before Endgame

[jokebyLASSE]

@12hoyebr I just said that, but you said it first, so I like :)

[fredjustsucks]

@IraniBoy9

Yeah but Endgame sucks dick

[jpothemaster64]

@fredjustsucks IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! No song from Rise Against sucks!

[alanihawaii123]

@fredjustsucks: awww. Ouch. Come on. It had a couple good songs like "Satellite", "This Is Letting Go" and "Architects"....not their best album and nowhere near as good as the others, but not entirely the worst.

[hskbeOK]

@alanihawaii123 I think, he thought about song "Endgame", not album ^^. But this song isn't so bad. And you forget about "Lanterns"

[alanihawaii123]

@hskbeOK: yes I did. =P funny enough, next to "This Is Letting Go", that's my favorite song on the album. I don't think they could write anything else like it.

[TheLeaderofBDC]

@alanihawaii123 You forgot 'Disparity by Design', one of the more hardcore songs in Endgame.

[RaptorScream79]

@IraniBoy9 this song sounds a lot like endgame. they shouldve doen a live version of this as a hidden track instead of the good left undone.

[jokebyLASSE]

@IraniBoy9 Or Endgame sounds a little bit like Tip the Scales, remember the order :P

[ad1170]

@IraniBoy9 or more like wherabout unknown maybe.

[NirvanaRAA7X]

@IraniBoy9 Sounds more like Voices Off Camera!

[TheLeaderofBDC]

@IraniBoy9 Yeah, the verse of Endgame.

[Memyselfandlazy]

@IraniBoy9 When you've been a band for as long as RA has you typically tend to use a amazing riff once or twice, besides, if it's a awesome intro it isn't really a bad thing is it? : )

[mingacorre]

the scales your soul is divided, negative is weighed against positive. Tip the scales love is the key.

Very good song :) nice nice

[its419able]

What I love about Rise Against is how their entire album is structured to be listened to as a whole, yet each track out of it stands alone on its own merits.

To Them These Streets Belong ----> Tip the Scales

Prayer of the Refugee ----> Drones

Pretty much every album has links between one song and another. They just flow so well.

[WiredAffection]

@its419able That's how you can tell they write their own music. Also, that they stay on topic throughout the album. :]

[its419able]

Rise Against is probably 1, 2, 4, and 5 ... Offspring (mid-career, Ixnay, Americana, ect) is 3.

[TheAirsoftFalcon]

My top three favorite bands are

1. Rise Against

2. Rise Against

3. Rise Against

[ThunderRun1993]

@TheAirsoftFalcon check out my airsoft video on my channel. I put the song reducation in it. its called airsoftgi get out and play video contest.

[WarrenC48]

Rise Against is my top favorite over every band! And nothing will change that. :p

[aprilphoeniXx1234]

Honestly one of my favourite songs from rise against! God I love this band!

[619noob619]

the 2 guys that disliked dont have fucking ears :D

[anUHkins]

dang, you got the username avocadoes before I could...(not)

[cudney85]

i want a cd tell me how to get one

[3heishi3]

@cudney85 well first you need some money... then, you guy buy it.

[prokiller454]

IF you think Rise Against is the best band ever, thumbs up.

If you like justin bieber song ''one less lonely girl'', press the X in the right up corner of the window NOW

[cudney85]

how do i get a cd

[JoHnS0123]

Beats 3 Days Grace........There Musics Good But, Like Most Of Their Fans Are Emotionally Retarded.

[jsh020]

@JoHnS0123 yah they are emotinaly retarted but some rise against fans are just douchbags, they dont understand what an oppinion is

[DSzucs]

They should make a "repeat" button so that it constantly plays the song instead of having to press play to trigger another eargasm... :p

[DSzucs]

love this song!

[BlizzardMidbus]

My list of favorite bands:

#1. Rise Against

#7. Linkin Park

[ledgendaryusername]

@BlizzardMidbus Hey bud, if you like them you should listen to some Hollywood Undead, Rage Against The Machine, and Three Days Grace.

[BlizzardMidbus]

@ledgendaryusername Hmm... I've listened to some of their songs and they're pretty good.

[ledgendaryusername]

@BlizzardMidbus Which one of the bands are you referring to?

[BlizzardMidbus]

@ledgendaryusername I checked some more songs from them, they're not that good.

[ledgendaryusername]

@BlizzardMidbus Which band???

[BlizzardMidbus]

@ledgendaryusername All three.

[MartinAmarth]

@Jingely8 it´s in my top 5 and im METALER xD

[MidnightGabe]

@Jingely8 TOP 2

[HaloRoxMySox47]

Top 5? As far as I'm concerned there aren't any other bands in the world other than Rise Against!

[superuber27]

@Jingely8 its in my top 1

[HslipknotU]

@Jingely8 learn how to talk retard

[PatatZonder]

@HslipknotU

[joeyhodgeman]

@Jingely8

HELL YAH!!!!!

[SkaterRejectJosh]

Been A Rise Against fan since I heard their song Prayer of a Refugee on a AMV for the first time about 3yrs ago STILL LOVIN THEM RISE AGAINST RULEZ

[cannabiscze]

old good times ... this song make me full energy. .... .. simply, the Siren song of the counter cuture is a best album IMHO

[gustEEEn]

Weird that this song hardly have any live uploads and is so generarly underestimated... I really hope it will be played next time i see them. Absolutely one of my top 5 rise against songs

[Hyperion1980helios]

my english isnt good ^^ thissong is very good =)

[furyisuponu]

I listened to this song like 30+ times ina row

[TheFauscht]

i <3 rise against.

In 1 day i listend 70 times to this song <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[playitverysmart]

more than 3.5 hours of the same song...cmon- RA has tons of good songs (including this) prolly could have listen to 3.5 hours of their best songs and not repeated a song once

[theruntime]

I like their style, but this is the only song that I like that I've listened to so far. There has to be something else they have that's as good as this?

[luckyman254]

@theruntime anywhere but here

[Pharfanot]

@theruntime Dancing for Rain, To Them These Streets Belong, Blood to Bleed, The First Drop,

[IrWinRawr1]

@theruntime try savior or from heads unworthy or long forgotten sons or whereabouts unknown

[Whoaskyou1]

@IrWinRawr1 Try all songs =D

[ImjustsayinRWJ]

@IrWinRawr1 dont u know any other songs from the other albums besides appeal to reason. Cuz in my opinion, appeal to reason is more mature than rpm or siren song of the counter culture.

[IrWinRawr1]

@ImjustsayinRWJ Yes, I do. I honostly think Appeal to Reason has some of their best songs on them. I like Dancing for Rain, Tip the Scales, Ready to Fall, Drones, Give it All, I am a Rise Against fan in general. I love many of their songs, was just suggesting good ones.

[ImjustsayinRWJ]

@IrWinRawr1 yes, appeal to reason has some great songs, but theruntime said he liked the style of this song and was wondering if there was any other song like this. Appeal to Reason sounds totally different than siren sound and rpm, long forgotten sons isnt the same style as tip the scales. but yes. long forgotten sons, savior, whereabouts unknown, etc. are great songs

[Des2eau]

YEAHHHHH cause im going to pay $6-7 for a chocolate bar:S not going to happen

[hippoi2]

prices should be 6 times what they are that would make people actually work for stuff.

[fargol]

you're a moron

[fojek17]

no this would be very bad.. . what with people that already are poor? milions of ppl would die out of hunger when the prices would go up so high

[luputtaja]

lol sure wouldnt make any harm to poor people to suddenly have 6 times less money than they had with best job they got....

[xxXKillerHXxx]

you are the one of the biggest dumb fucks ive ever heard

[silentguardian6]
