An American Dream - August Burns Red

[ThePresentByCorrekt]

WRAAAAHHH WRA SUPLEEEEEEE YOORRAAAAAAAAH

[DWPKID16]

This is America's theme song.

[SeVexed]

+1 for the guitarwhal!! dude thats going to be my username on something lololol

also, from what I understand slipknot's older music is different than their newer stuff; older = 'heavier?' (see i contributed something significant)

also, ABR I love you.

[AmitKanfi]

wow the part where jake says "we are trying to breath underwater" and then like breaths heavily is soooo sick

[brake851]

I'm a bunny! (^o^)

[saskwche]

beauty has become the beast followed by white michael jackson rofl XD

[strunky55555555555]

this song is a reality check for me, the few the proud can no longer sing there song because of the protest at funerals, one nation under god, means were the only ones under god thts y its us against the world, and counting there 1,2,3s kids r getting more spoiled every year

[mnap128]

@strunky55555555555 this country was taking over by Satanic New World Order puppets yrs ago the US is probably the FURTHEST country from being "Under God" lol

[strunky55555555555]

@mnap128 i thought we we under god, because we were the only country made with a religion (or something like tht)

[mnap128]

@strunky55555555555 yeh one day maybe, a long long time ago. Not any more. We were actually formed with the freedom to practice whatever religion you wanted to practice, we def lost our way.

[bfmvfan4]

@strunky55555555555 you are so ignorant....

[D4ng3rboy]

WTF is michael jackson doing in this video. FAIL... keep it generic.

[wittlepk]

their the best Christian Metalcore band ever!

[wittlepk]

there the best Christian Metalcore band ever!

[TRHK1000]

@wittlepk wut about The devil wears prada

[Thejigsaw456]

God is good :)  Anyone agree?

[padremaronno69]

@Thejigsaw456 I don't think so...

[caveman0791]

Actually if you look more into it... Is us christians against the world! Know your facts that the world is in turmoil and living off of greed, tragedy, sin, and hate! Us Christians need to rise to our stand and become the American Dream!!! Look around you, open your eyes and you'll see exactly what's going on around us!!!! :(

[xheavensxfuryx]

It's us against the world!

[Babilizinhah]

JESUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUS, QUE MUSICA DO CARAIO 

[strawberrylegs420]

[1994JohnnyBoi]

[darks1deskill]

[bigmikegotzjesus]

3:48 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH­AH!

[diehardorlive1]

@bigmikegotzjesus why is that funny its a diseased kid you want someone to be laughing at you

[bigmikegotzjesus]

@diehardorlive1 woops, about one second off. beauty has become the beast illistrated wiff michael jackson is hilarious

[mykll2000]

Slipknot? Lmao!! They were dressed as bloody clowns for crying out loud. Why would anyone compare over marketed gloified murder music to this.

Oh ya.

[Wiggenhauser]

god bless america...noot

[FuckingOliCore]

Drop dead brutal.

[triptideom]

Slipknot IS on the radio, August might be on the radio after midnight. the whole ideal of Metal is UNmainstream, sorry ABR is thrice the band slipNOT dreams of being. while I'm shakkin' it up in here, consider this. America is consumed by SIN which inveriably leads to all the negative personality traits this country has. the song is not trying to cleverly point out anything political or social, or economical. TRYING TO LIVE SUCCESSFULLY WITH SIN IS LIKE BREATHING UNDER WATER. it don't work

[banginbass121]

lol i feel like if a politician were to read this they would understand what they were doing wrong....because of a bunch of teenagers im guessing?

[JRoehmer]

@banginbass121 they understand exactly what they're doing, they just don't care. They're too busy lining their pockets

[jrx950]

God damn... the breakdown is just toooo fucking good. And im not one of those ppl whos really intro breakdowns but damn this one is good

[rockstar33618]

that pic of mj kinda caught me by surprise...

[mrreos09]

I'm pretty sure they are talking about how liberal main stream media is brainwashing kids (especially blacks) that they can't succeed in this "corrupt" system. In ocean of apathy he says "why are we led by a misled generation?" (the generation of teachers from the 60s that hate America). We are drowning in our own political correctness and cannot survive while tying our hands. They're christian as well so the video is misleading when it says we are spoiled by 1,2,3 the trinity.

[littlelilisayuri]

man so true sigh america should learn from this >> 

[1989bigbee]

epic .......

[TillmannBTVdrums]

damn. august burns red's lyrics are so deep. it takes me a few times to listen for me to completely comprehend what he means.

amazing.

[Lazsix]

fuck yeah ;D i love those pics

[WoodenBoogabonga8688]

i love this song. the meaning is really true as well...not only does it mean that america is failing, i think that they're saying we've gotten away from our founding priniciples of relying on God as a nation. another thing we can take from this is that you're now seen as a failure if you don't go to college and get a successful career, when that's not always God's calling on their lives

[dntxJ1GG3ls]

0:51

i love this part

[Uberwous]

ROCK ON !@#!@#

[sceneandproud]

ONE WORD: AMAZING!!!!

[perkinsyntax]

i respect that not everyone likes them, but that does not change whether they are talented or not. which no doubt, they are.

[seed419]

1:18 :)

[ForgottenSouls123]

michael jackson scared shit out of me

[the88rocker]

@ForgottenSouls123

micheal jackson was beutifol... or however i must typ that word.. :D but he had destroied his buety away .....

he isnt a good person what he did..

but i dont know how to explain :S

greets me

[HateTheHEROES]

THATS so Tru we do Brain Washed Our Children

this is not Destiny

Being with God is all i need

Amen!

[AlexiixelA]

:33 made me cum buckets..

[fcukurlf2009]

i like the lyrics"we brainwashed our children...and so on .i like that part

[havokblader]

1:50 - 2:00

Would you consider that a breakdown?

The china is going, but it's not like the usual.

[GloomySunset]

I would. anyway, I love that part

[JcobStefanides]

who gives a fuck about the meaining lol?

[setho77]

true statement, but i think he isnt just talking about mj. he's talking about how beauty is its true form and when its made to be another or molded and shaped it loses its very thing that was tried to be improved upon. Mj is just a prime example. and yes, it is Us against the world!! these guys are right on!! psalms says praise the lord with a 'new song' if this isnt it, i dont know what is!!

[ForgottenSouls123]

1 2 3's

[EvulAtreyuGrl]

My favorite line is "Beauty has become the beast." definetly a true statement.

[baronofhell08]

what china cymbal does the drummer use because i love the sound

[StopDropAndMosh]

@baronofhell08 a zildjian oriental trash china. he has a 12 and 18 inch.

[baronofhell08]

LMFAO MJ before and after pictures lmfao that cracked me up ha

[urcoolcoolcool]

That pic of MJ really scared me

Now i have to sleep with the light on......

[mhmcheyenne]

I bet I'd have to sleep with the light on if I saw a picture of you.

[urcoolcoolcool]

wow thanks

that hurt

now the rest of my life is ruined

haha jk

[spaztasticblonde]

We are tryyinng to breatheee under wattteerrr.

^ best part.

[havokblader]

1:50 is seriously the best guitar part of the song.

[dyerone444]

i only like the song eyeless by slipknot but only if its being covered by Bring Me The Horizon

[NonPointRulz101]

this is my fave song from ABR..............number 2:Back Burner, number 3: marianas trench, number 4: composure, number 5:meddler

[NonPointRulz101]

suffocate with no room to breathe

[sotflicka]

"Beauty has become the beast" and a pic of MJ, lol..

[METAL6060]

1

2

3!!!!!!

love that pic dude....:D

followed by michael hahahahaha

[GWfan115]

hmm I dont like slipknot.August burns red is wayyyyy better. more then way better..

[ash9205]

rofl idiot

[GWfan115]

so I´m an idiot because I dont like mainstream crap with masks?lol

[ash9205]

No, you're an idiot for not liking Slipknot.

I'm not into mainstream music either, but Slipknot are an exeption. You can't deny that they are awesome.

[GWfan115]

oh yes I can : They suck.

haha

[xFebruaryBurnsBluex]

You're just telling everyone how stupid and arrogant you and all slipnot fans are. slipnot are an exeption?, come on.

slipnot is horrible. they all suck at what they do. the signer sounds like he's choking on a cock 24/7 and out of the 9 members they have, 5 of them aren't even doing anything .

[pstlpwn]

i think its funny that it takes 9 people to make bad music

[Schectersch1]

i dunno... I like slipknot.. they sound good. i don't know.. how they could.. suck? i'd say they are awesome, maybe im just an open-minded person, but i guess so are the millions that saw them live every year? i dont understand why people are so mad that there are so many people on stage. who the fuck cares? who the fuck cares how many people there are? why does that make them suck? it doesn't. these comments are lame. (OH MY GOD five of the band members dont do anything!! they suck!) yeah! cool

[jfkx21]

yeah i dont like them but u guys all cant say they suck when they have probably accomplished more in life then u have.

[ampedct]

lmfao slipknot is GARBAGE. August Burns Red is so much more talented.

[kotykunt]

@ampedct your fucking retarded if you thing ABR is better than slipknot.

how bout you go listen to your pussy ass bring me the horizon shit, and keep the word slipknot out of your cock sucker before a real metal head beats the shit out of you

[slayerdamien]

@ampedct i agree that August Burns Red is much more talented... but i wouldnt go so far to call slipnot garbage, they have had a few good hits as well

[caboose1234543]

@slayerdamien a few... XD

[AllaboutPV1]

@ampedct thats because it takes 9 guys for slipknot to sound like 4 people,

[thedingdingboys101]

@AllaboutPV1 but i love slipknot

[rainX21kitten]

@ampedct

keep opinions to yourself, i love August Burns Red and i love Slipknot, and this just kind of pissed me off.

let's just talk about how awesome August Burns Red is :)

[nikthedick123]

@ampedct that is so far from reality dude. slipknot is a family of 9 who can work together and rely on each other to create music thats far better than this. this sounds like random notes, there is no rhythm and it sounds like job for a cowboy went screamo. slipknot is far more precise musically and far more metaphorical lyrically. corey taylor is a master of THREE genres, and nobody ever has your back just because they listen to this crap. only maggots and juggalos have that bond.

[MrPsyKOlogical]

@ampedct i know right, 9 members in their band and cant even touch abr

[ImNotOkIPromiseYou1]

@ampedct bullshit, slipknot is another genre of music.

slipknot is faster heavier lyrics

abr is more lyrical and have more meaning yes. but still dont bash other bands and dont compare

[rj2478art]

@ImNotOkIPromiseYou1 did u just say heavier?! are you retarded slipknot is gay as shitt and could never be heavier than ABR. They're the equivalent of giving monkeys hammers and narwhals guitars

[ImNotOkIPromiseYou1]

@rj2478art heavier as in more abrasive. ABR is not "heavy" in my opinion. ABR has meaning

listen to BattlePig that shits heavy

[rj2478art]

@ImNotOkIPromiseYou1 i no they're not too heavy i was just saying they're heavier than slipknot AOAA is heavy too

[shock196411]

haha michael jackson

[doedoe90]

0:52 <333

[AROGANTTOASTER]

this song is badass but how they did the lyrics in the video are fuckin hilarious

[RobyBurnsRed]

ya he mighta taken the lyrics too literally :p

[Indgard]

i like the song very much. but the lyrics are crap. "we are trying to breath underwater"?

[merrsshee]

Crap? Lets see you write better lyrics

[blackninja92]

ha its cuz u dont get the message of the whole song

They are basically saying

how the fuck can americans call them selves the world leader of the world

when corrupt ass presidents are destroying the country

businesses are failing the economy

and we are actually one of the least intelligent countries

Ignorance Is Bliss Essentially but it will come back to haunt us

Breath Underwater = Be a global power when our country is failing

[aminsoolari]

@blackninja92 ur stupid

[WhiteStr08]

@blackninja92 amen. we think were all that. we say were the victoms of war when we cause our own corruption to rage a war on a unkown and random enemy and showing them to the public as the enemy. america is the most corrupt dumb country out there. all our higher ups is do is put out lies putting the worng names on the wrong people

[banginbass121]

@WhiteStr08 and to top it all off. we have been in almost every war because we dont know how to just keep to ourselves for once. we have to stick our noses in everyones buisness because we "run" the world

[touchmyshmeckle1018]

@blackninja92

We will be brought to the light. Civil war in 20 years. I think our spoiled generation needs a war on our shores to wake us the fuck up to the severity of what we're commiting in Iraq/Afghanistan.

[blackninja92]

@touchmyshmeckle1018 right on man i cant tell u how kids in so cal are now a days man its crazy

[tMattLZ]

@blackninja92 your mostly wrong..

[Sa3dSayegh]

@blackninja92 OMG srlsy?

Dude i mean nothing wrong, but srsly go look the meaning of the song up... but dont give false information!

'cause this is NOT the meaning of the song lol

and if u say no, how about I say I heard it from ABR themsleves?

[blackninja92]

@Sa3dSayegh how about you provide your source then you talk.

i simply gave an opinion based on the lyrics and name of the song

and you know what it really makes sense 

[Sa3dSayegh]

@blackninja92 I'm sorry if it sounded offensive i didnt mean it that way, but the meaning of the song isnt this, u can listen to a song and think different things and memories that go with it to each person its different, but the perpose of writting it wasnt this

Thanks and sorry if my english is wrong

[Infantrysquad22]

@blackninja92 Bro............you are somewhat right, but you are looking at it from a worldly prospective. Their is (since ABR is supposed to be a Christian band) a spiritual backdrop to the song that is saying something else. We are supposed to live for so much more than the way we look and how much money we make. The kingdom of God is ready to come to this earth and we are sitting around still counting our 123's. The only way to bring the Kingdom of God is to accept Jesus and rebel against.

[Infantrysquad22]

@blackninja92 ..... accept Jesus and rebel against the world.

[caboose1234543]

@blackninja92 BOOM! You had me at corrupt presidents. You're my new best friend :)

[blackninja92]

@caboose1234543 ha thanks man

is crazy how people can disagree with my statement, but i guess it is why america is messed up ha

[typimp62]

@blackninja92

so true

[shock196411]

r u kidding me?

[StopDropAndMosh]

the riff at 1:52 is the exact same one as the song hook line and sinner by texas in july TIJ obviously stole it from ABR haha

[shock196411]

what song??

[Mimon2000]

i like 0 55 - 0 10 or something xD

[PS3SycKesT]

lol...

[CarlEugenKnut]

I`am from germany and my english is not very good, can anybody please explain me the lyrics of this song?

[das95961]

how america has defied the lord with our unatural things, being allowed to do anything that you want, thinking we are better than everyone else, and our purities dont shine through anymore. hope this helped

[CarlEugenKnut]

Thank you, it did.

[celinaxwitch2]

tss rolooooooooooooon :D

[loly617]

1:53 awsome breakdown and awsome song love them abr is my fafvorite band of all time

[lockout125]

For how repetitive they are, the only song i dislike is Truth of a Liar this is good 5 stars :)

[Thrasher881]

Badass Band...i have seen them on With Full Force Festival last Sunday and they´re fucking awesome!!!

[TAABCviceprez]

August Burns Red (n.) - A band that is capable of pulling off a breakdown 7 second into a song

[riggs539]

@TAABCviceprez

A shot below the belt might be 1 sec. lol peace dude!

[Skinhead3456789]

they sound kind of like lamb of god how heavy they are thats so badass

AUGUST BURNS RED

[b20002003]

dud can't u block purplestain 24 from leaving comments on your vids...his pissing me off!!

[cenaj657]

i'll try bro

[skaterpunkO47]

You know Micheal Jackson had a disease where he had to have surgey and it turn his skin like that. Don't be dis-in micheal

[b20002003]

is it called virtiligo or somthing like that!!!!

[youknowhoo]

Slipknot is not doom metal you fuckin retard.

[scottmusical]

dude, love it man, freakin awesome!!! I love ABR...such good stuff, so good...

[yz250rnigga]

why would they try an copy slipknot slipknot sucks my bag and abr is fucking sick shit.

[WoWyeaboi]

Lol since when is doom metal a fucking genre that just sounds fucking gay in my opinion

[emiliopimp77]

They are a Christian metalcore band. Slipknot is doom metal. That's a completely different genre idiot. They are not copying anything. Slipknot sucks ass too.

[crazydisciple]

these faggots are trying to copy slipknot, and theyre failing

[scottmusical]

haha, thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard...They sound nothing like slipknot...I personally don't really like slipknot. Nothing against them I just don;t care for the style that they play...the only one failing is you dude...

[skaterpunkO47]

Dude your retarded, Slipknot sucks, their songs have no meaning to them. They just finds words and put music behind it. August Burns Red is a Christian metal band, which means almost all of their songs have meaning and a message.

[NonPointRulz101]

true dat!

[Skinhead3456789]

slipknot are mainstream mtv faggits that have sold since there new album you can see scyo social or whatever on TRL and Top 20 countdown if thats not selling out what is?

[blackninja92]

Ha slipknot needs fans

Obviously They are trying to get new fans but its because fans allow them to put food on their families plates

they need money

[CazAndJonny]

Dude, shut the fuck up.

Slipknot are epic.

Not saying ABR aren't, But I like both.

[Doberboy218]

Its a shame that MJ is gone now. I almost feel bad for that last part. Almost. Anyways, the King is dead. Long live the King!

[myeo16]

The pictures really get the mood of the song into you. Good jb

[havokblader]

"the few the proud no longer sing their song, one nation under god it's us against the world" amazing.

[xpowerionx4]

omfg this so fuckin heavy

[cadenclarkhawkins]

omg the end is soooooooooo good,

[purplestain24]

im sorry, but this is terrible

[cadenclarkhawkins]

dumbass

[jline43]

why'd you click the video...I'm guessing for one of two reasons 1. you listen to pop or some shit and you just want to hate on real music or 2. your just a fucking dumbass....

[b20002003]

i think his a 2!!!!

[purplestain24]

you wanna hear real music? listen to fuckin led zeppelin or some hendrix. and if you prefer a heavier sound listen to some black sabbath, but this is just awful

[jline43]

ok gramps...

[purplestain24]

im sorry for your ignorance. and im 20...good music is timeless

[scottmusical]

dude you know no gives a crap what you are saying so if you don't like this stuff you can just go home buddy. I ain't hating on your style of music you like so shut up about what we listen to and what we think is good music...

[backburner123]

@purplestain24 we can listen to whatever we want, you can listen to whatever you so FUCK OFF

[b20002003]

if u cant run with the big dogs...stay on the porch

[TSmity2]

I put this on my favorites... and then I took it off when I saw the Michael Jackson pictures...

[TAABCviceprez]

3:32

I'm scrawny as fuck, I'd probably die

[Skinhead3456789]

this song is so fucking heavy

the entire album is badass

I'm buying this album!!!!

[SanAntonio501]

2:11 (awesome breakdown)
