  • "You listen to Rise Against? Are you Straight Edge?" - friend

    "No I'm just that badass" -me

  • watching the animals get abused, I was thinking...

    what the hell is wrong with humans today?!

  • i almost died myself... i was looking through the comments for chronichappyface's comment and saw "Tim is dead!!" Thank you for everybody who confirmed this to be false

  • whats all this shit about tim being dead??? is this true or just another rumor?

  • @ecoTripperz Stupid rumor. They just posted a message about having a great tour with A day to remember. (on facebook) He's not dead :)

  • @snowtreeman oh thank god rlly I hate these rumors just some idiot tries to be interesting and then he tells "OMG OMG (...) IS DEAD!!!" -.- sooo fucking annoying

  • Yeah Tim isn't dead. I just seen Rise Against live last night...

  • damm!.. nice

  • silly its not all about saving animals and fighting against animal cruelty, though you arent wrong its about saving the planet all together, watch the video closer. they are standing in the middle of what used to be a forest but its all been cut down.

  • The message is animals that are endangered need to be left the fu*k alone

  • TIM IS NOT DEAD.

    Whoever brought that up, NOTHING has been implied so by the band and they had a gig only yesterday.

    Don't believe rumours on the internet unless they come from a trusted source, guys. ~~

  • The message at the end is awesome !

    The group is awesome too ! ^^

  • They are just awesomeee .

  • If Tim McIlrath truely died... Rise Against can never die... his spirit made this band. His spirit made this music... This will always be the greatest band ever... Always forever. I'm just dissapointed... No more Albums..

  • OMFG RIP TIM :((( I JUST HEARD FUCK MAN

  • RIP Tim, can't believe it!

  • R.I.P. Tim, great singer for an even greater band.

  • Rest in peace, Tim

  • @chronichappyface They said he died because of heroin OD. That can't be true, he's straight edge.

  • @TheLeaderofBDC what I first thought, I will believe it when its officially confirmed, and not on wikipedia or youtube.

  • @thijscals It's been an hour now and still nothing about his death are founded on Google search.

  • @TheLeaderofBDC who died?.:D

  • Been a while since I've heard this song or read the comments. But I think what we are all forgetting is that this song, and this music video, they aren't just about eating animals. Its about our world. How its become so... misshappen and disgusting, that very little beauty is left in it for us to see. It us up to us, however small a deed or grand a gesture, to turn Earth back to what it should be, not what we have forced it to become.

  • i dont think think we all should be vegetarian , but i am =]. i just think how cruel it is how these poor innocent animals r slaughter. its unfair to the animals.how who it make u feel if a stronger superior race came to this earth and kill millions of us everyday just for food. imagine ur family and friend taken into a big steal machine and coming out chopped up into little pieces. on the other hand i do think its okay to eat any animal that has died from natural death. great song btw!

  • I don't agree with you know, giant "farms" that raise animals by the thousands just for slaughter... And killing for plain sport is just disgusting o.< But I don't agree with being a vegetarian. But I won't hate someone that is. It's a life choice.

  • also growing plants in such a unnatural way like you said Omgadnowai is horrible. you shouldn't Farm something in the ways you say. Goerge Washington Carver Disagreed with that. its unnatural.

  • And Guns dont kill. People kill.

  • am i the only one who sees the message of this song and video? its talking about the horrors of humanity not the fact that we hunt and eat meat if you eat Vegatation your still killing something that is still alive? we burn forests. We plant Trees. We kill animals. We keep them from over populating. But some ways we kill them are horrible yes. But i rather shoot something and end its life with less pain rather then the ways shown in this video. theres much worst things then a gun.

  • this video makes me hungry ithink im gonna ignor the vegan peanut gallery an go eat some dolphine i had illegally caught cause that shit tastes great

  • love the song but hate the video :(

  • Anyone else find it Ironic that the very wood being cut down is probably being used in their million dollar houses.

  • This would be a great video to show my AP Environmental Science teacher.

  • to be honest this was the first song i ever heard from these guys,

    they had me w/ the first few notes.

  • His eyes are two different colors. pause at 2:29

    

  • @Greater419 His eyes are always diffrent colour.

  • I'm not a vegan or anything like that but I have a huge soft spot for animals and realising how they are treated makes me angry. I know I can't do anything by myself but I hope one day that everyone comes to the realisation that our generations are only getting worse and not giving a shit about this stuff

  • I <3 clubbing seals.

  • im not gunna say huntings bad because i do hunt and its natual but poaching i cant stand and facts show hunting actually helps population of animals cuz it makes it so less diseases spread among animals

  • Comment removed

  • @Omgadnowai My God will you stop complaining about every fucking thing you dumbass what if I said vegetarians are fucking retarded and pointless? Yeah I am so damn tired of vegetarians. when they have dinner at your house they cant see meat, the plate you give them has to be completely untouched by meat but when you eat at their house they give you fucking twigs and leaves on a plate. And starting shit starts problems so if you really have good intentions just fucking live with life and love it.

  • @crapcake813

    These guys are not ONLY vegetarians, they also have a serious phobia and an tendency to go to ridiculous extremes. Please don't generalize.

  • @Omgadnowai umm... so your calling native americans retarded and Piontless?... right...

    

  • Comment removed

  • @trenticles7 Hunting will always be bad, unless the animals that are killed are for food. If it is for sport, than it is just wrong.

  • @lilghost121 i dont know any hunters who dont cook and eat what they shoot. but what's really fucked up is how the USA uses corn(FOOD) as fuel or part of fuel when there are starving people in the world. FOOD IS NOT FUEL!

  • @Atsuma1987 I agree, I mean come on don't we already have enough oil from Afghanistan and Iraq, I mean that is where we get it from right?

  • @lilghost121 Hunting is bad i agree but if the animal is breed for food then that's human nature to kill the animal but hunting for sport or fun are sick things eg japans whaling so in some forms killing a animal if its breed for that then thats fine but otherwise is cruel and FUCKING sick

  • @lilghost121 killing animals is bad either if it they are going to be eaten or just left there dead. Would you like to be killed by someone just because he/she likes your taste? No! then why you kill animals? Be fucking vegetarian !

  • @GialtroKoumas Being a vegetarian is bad for your health. Our bodies require first class proteins only attainable from meat for growth and repair. The majority of vegetarians are shorter than the average person.

  • @GialtroKoumas What I meant was, you are standing on a deserted island, and you don't know if you can eat the plants, because you are unsure they are poisiounus(sp?) or not, then you should be able to kill an animal to survive; however, if it is for "Oh, I love how insert animal taste like, lets kill eat it" then it is just wrong.

  • @lilghost121 Anyway its just wrong, goddamned!!!

  • @lilghost121 ok what about falconry ?

    You use the bird to hunt for sport, but then you feed the bird the kill ?

    Thats hunting as a sport and hunting for food,

  • @trenticles7 I can only agree with hunting for food,survival, not for sport, and the sad part is that many hunters just do it for the kicks and go have a horrid meal at mc donalds right after, and hunt like crazy, so if the idea is to eliminate the specie to stop spreading the desease mankind seems to be doing a wonderful job.

  • @trenticles7 but I bet you do it in the right way :) just remember to meassure yourself on it xD

  • Not to be a dick but as humans eating real meat is natural I'm not saying I support the way we are receiving this meat but vegetarianism is unnatural. Plus I'm not going to be a giant fucking hypocrite and say a fish doesn't count because it does its a living thing...

  • @crapcake813

    Everything is natural, even the most "unnatural" men have engineered. If it's physically possible, it's natural. End of story. Why would a hut built by a monkey be natural but a house built by men be "more than natural" ?

    The whole natural vs. unnatural debate about vegetarianism is fucking retarded. The only objective way for you to look at the debate is "If you want to live longer and more healthily, which is better ?", but then you have to define "health". Good luck

  • @Omgadnowai i'm pretty sure flying metal is unnatural. A house is unnatural by definition - not naturally occuring. Of course, by that arguement humans are natually omnivores since we have canines. That means an all vegetabe or all meat diet is also natural. boo ya, I ended the debate for all time

  • @TheOrnlu

    It is naturally occuring simply because unlike all you have been taught, humans are part of this whole imaginary entity you "call" nature and dissociate from us. What's the actual difference between complex atomic structures reacting to their surroundings in a way that generates "natural occurences" and human beings reacting to the need for shelter building a house ? Argue all you want, it's just a degree of perceived complexity difference.

  • @Omgadnowai i'm not saying humans are unnatural. I'm saying that a house built by humans is unnatural. A cave is also a form of shelter, but it is not created by humans, where as a single brick is mud that was put into a cast, baked in an oven, and then shipped to the building sight. Decidedly not a natually occuring process. That's all beside the point though, as my arguement is humans are omnivores, and it's natural for us to eat both meats and vegetables, or just on or the other

  • @TheOrnlu

    We are a naturally occuring process. Whatever we do is a natural process, because we're not decoupled whatsoever from "nature". If a lion eats an antelope, it's not anymore natural than if a kid tasted sand and died on it. The kid who chokes on the sand and dies reacted to the sand to the best of his knowledge and abilities at the time, satisfying a "natural" urge to experiment. Believe it or not, you're an animal.

  • @TheOrnlu

    Also, metal doesn't fly. It is acted upon by external forces that allow it to elevate itself from the ground, and said forces need to be stronger than the ones that force it back to the ground, among many things. Metal - does - not - fly. Plants do not grow. Children do not grow. Organisms react to inputs of energy and matter by incorporating a part of it.

    I repeat : metal doesn't fly.

  • @Omgadnowai coughcoughairplainscoughcoughh­ackwheeze

  • @Omgadnowai plants do Grow.... so do children... and all organisms... Did you ever take biology?

  • @TsukasaAn

    "Growing" is not the right term. A plant doesn't merely "grow". The accurate meaning of "grow" you're searching for is "using external matter and energy to further generate cells familiar to the organism." They don't grow. They merely react to their environment to fight entropy. Growing is a meaningless term that's applied to so many things it's factually inaccurate to say a plant "grows". It merely exchanges with its environment.

  • @Omgadnowai So your saying anything physically possible is natural. So if I went and broke every lions arms and legs that would be natural? No! that would completely fuck up the Eco system because then the lions would not kill which means prey population would rise too high, the lions would go extinct due to starvation, and scrap eaters would starve to death also because the lions did not give them a kill. Even though humans were men't to not eat meat we have adapted to the taste and nutrients.

  • @crapcake813

    It would be, to the extent where your environmental conditioning had pushed you to do it. If you believe you can do anything that wasn't forced upon you by environmental pressures, you do not quite understand basic science. Humans are just another species, and what we do is natural. Sure, it may "endanger" other species (yes, more complex atomic structures!) and hasten entropy, but it's definitely not unnatural. Maybe your definition of "natural" is out of whack, though.

  • @crapcake813 Vegetarianism isn't unnatural. We as humans are obnivorus(sp?). Meaning we can eat both meat and plants. Hence why our tounges are stiff enough to not get cut by the plants. (Hope that made sense.)

  • @lilghost121 Yes but it isn't safe to eat just one or the other. If we ate only meat our digestive system would be over active because meat takes longer to digest. And according to your blood type, eating only vegetation can make you feel very i'll. If your trying to change your fundamental nature you are only hurting yourself

  • @crapcake813 That is true as well, due to the reason that we evolved. If not, than we would never be able to eat any kind of plants.

  • @crapcake813 I love it when people say, I am a vegetarian, but I eat chicken and fish. Like "Da Fuck?"

  • I wish I never saw this video...so sad,,,actually started crying.

  • @TheSageification its good you saw it now you want to change this crap don't you? that's their point

  • @FML833 I do want to change it, but I already wanted that...I didn't need to see humanity raping mother nature to want this world to change.

  • @TheSageification its just the way life is until somebody stands up an says something

  • @FML833 Good point, but my point still stands, this video is depressing.

  • @haven47 it totally but its true

  • @FML833 totally is*

  • the vocalist looks like Dex Carrington..

  • ATTENTION: WATCH THE UNCENSORED VERSION OF THIS SONG! WHAT YOU SEE MIGHT CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

  • just saying, i dont agree with the mistreatment of animals, and i think anyone found guilty of abusing animals should be punished harshly (do whatever they did to the animals to them), but i REFUSE to support PETA, and i will NEVER stop eating meat.

  • @JgGooden Good to see you don't support peta, their leader has been working with a group that firebombs buildings where they test products on animals, killing both the animals and humans

  • very best!

  • damn beautiful song!! like his eyes!! (NO HOMO) they are different then anyone else

  • Rise Against. Enough said.

  • fuck what has this world come to _ _lll

  • I'm ashamed to be human, we are distrusting creatures...

  • @3vilAssassin Yes, so true...

  • (This is part 2 of my other post) Some People dont even care So If you want to save Our Planet Stop Doing the Wrong Stuff Stop Kill animal Stop takeing there land take a land that there no animal and there is no one

  • i like his eyes :D

  • Comment removed

  • they rise but are ready to fall

  • watching this hurts my heart, i think i'm gonna turn vegetarian now. . . :(

  • @Mukiimomo Don't, animals eat eachother, its just the food chain. Becoming a Vegetarian may give you a misguided sense of righteousness but ultimately youll be unhappy. True we could all live without meat, but there is no point.

  • @dem0nthesis Animals eat eachother for survival purposes. We humans have a choice, and that makes it unetical to consume animals. Eating farmed animals don't have anything to do with the "food chain". We have fished up almost the whole see in Éurope, extincting sevral species because we said it was the food chain. Thousands of species die each year, because of our ignorance. 

  • @snowtreeman Maybe we should just kill ourselves. I mean we have a choice, and that makes it unethical to kill anything on this planet, including trees and other vegetation. I agree that the current state of the meat industry is bad but I think just reducing the amount of meat we eat would be enough.

  • @TheGameHeaven No, we don't need to kill ourselves, lol. Trees and other vegetation don't have minds, and don't have a interest in avoiding pain. Because there is no way they can. Cause they stand still. For both ethical reasons and enviromental we need to stop eating meat. Please concider a vegan diet :D

  • @snowtreeman It was just an example on how the "we have a choice, so it makes it unethical" doesn't really work. Humans have been carnivores for tens of thousands of years. Like I said, the current state of meat industry is absolutely horrible, but everyone turning to vegetarians isn't going to fix all the problems.

  • @TheGameHeaven It didn't show that it don't work We have also been racist for a long time(such as meat eaters). But it doesn't justify it, just because it has been going on for a long time. If everybody turned vegan, there wouldn't be any meatindustry. So it would fix meatindustry( kinda disturbing that it's a industry about killing). It surley are other problems concerning the enviroment. I want to point out that the meatindustry stands alone for more polution than the whole transport industry.

  • @snowtreeman Stop trying to force your views on everyone. Not everyone wants to be short and have boring meals every day.

  • @JammyDodgerGB I ain't trying to force my views. I just stated why i choose to be vegan. Sorry if it looked like i was trying to force my views on you. I'm just sharing my opinions and hope to inspire people to go vegan. Short? i'm the average length of the standard. I know vegans that are taller than me. You don't have to eat boring meals, i never eat something that i find distasteful. And, i don't really miss the taste of meat. Because there is a vegan substitutes! vegan bacon, hamburgers etc.

  • me + any assault rifle + that dolphin port= a whole lot of dead humans

  • @dem0nthesis Animals eat eachother to suvive. We can live without eating meat. The point is not that we don't eat dead cows and dead chinkens but it it's how they were killed!

  • @JerryThunder1 Plants are alive too. Think of how plants are just ripped out of the ground to be killed. Sounds vicious to me... maybe I'll be a pure carnivore and start a campaign to save the plants.

  • @mleary95 Now that you mention it, bacteria are alive too. Every time you take a step, inhale or exhale, move your arms, or speak, you kill millions of them. Maybe I'll stop breathing, moving, and speaking and save them all.

  • @EgregiousQuacky Great idea...I see a big chance in population very soon. I can see it now...banners read "Stop breathing! Save the Germs!"

  • @mleary95 *change zz

  • @Mukiimomo It's so much easier going vegeterian than you could imagine. I once thought it was going to be impossible, but when i went vegan, i realised that it's so easy :) Go vegan! :D

  • look at your friend or family or think about your future descendents and think that one day sometime, some year they will die because you/we were too stupid to stop before it was too late heres a thing to help stop emissions it wont stop completely but atleast you wont contribute RIDE A BIKE! if you cant stand up for whats right on your own then convince friends, family, strangers and tell them what the hell is wrong and what will happen in the future if we dont stop. dont trust your government

  • im happy to know that there are people who are famous that care and notice it atleast allows me to have some peace of mind knowning the whole of humanity isnt self centered and to many people who say animals "dont suffer" i think your forgetting something WE ARE ANIMALS! humans are a species animals are different kinds of species they suffer just like we do or should i say they suffer more than we do since we dont care and keep destroying everything for our own convenience

  • Awesome song with Heartfelt Video

  • 0:11 --- See that guy? The one looking at you? Yeah? You've now seen God.

    \m/>.<\m/

  • 2:28 look at his eyes. notice anything?......

  • @ante319 Tim has heterochromia which creates a discoloration in his eyes.

  • Comment removed

  • are world now is so fucked.

  • I have been thinking aboot this shit sooo much lately and there needs to be more done aboot it!

  • @braedon96 lolololol your Canadian

  • tim mcllrath looks like my friend.

  • I agree completely with all they are saying but I also think they are showing human kind at their worst. There are still good people in the world and this just sthows me that we have a lot of work to do before we have a healthy planet. Thank you Rise Against for reminding us of what we must do.

  • pause at 0:11 notice anything wierd?

  • @Highdun Yeah, how did you notice that?!?

  • Comment removed

  • I just got my 11 month old niece to dance to this, Prayer of the Refugee, and Give it All. I feel like my obligations as an uncle are now complete.

  • This was the first Rise Against song I heard. They had me at "Hold on".

  • this sould be a national anthem and play on radio every day,

    i mean i like the sound of lmfao and pitbull but.. what kind of stupid world are they promoting?

  • Comment removed

  • My friends a lmfao fan.... Me a rise against..... He says lmfao best group ever......

    Lmfao: Guys singing about drinking shots, with garage band music.

    Rise against: People with talent and a meaning to the song.... :P

  • Comment removed

  • @GamingSinge

    Let's rise against LMFAO then.

  • Hope your ready for Syracuse!

  • 0:52 - 1:07 <3

  • One Chance!

    

  • IVIusical is completely wrong yes 1 out of 50 is ok conditions but others are treated horrible look up how animals get treated on farms and ZOO'S

  • NO ZOO'S animals sink or swim on there own thats how it's supposed to be leave it

  • will farell?

  • We need more animal preserves than zoos I say..

  • @Sinper2015 you got your facts straight sinper ;)

  • @MsKahla Why thank you! =^.^=

  • @Sinper2015 You know what the best thing is... In about 30 - 40 years time our generation will be in government offices etc etc There will be people in the white house who think like you :) Who knows they might of grown up listening to rise against :) .... Just sucks that we have to wait that long

  • There are quite literally no words for this song and video. It's too powerful to even find one to describe it. Like he says at the end of the video "every action has a reaction. We've got one planet, and one chance." Do you see any big name music artists doing anything like this? How are they so much more popular than this? Pop culture never fails to baffle me....

  • Two different colour eyes? Coolness

    Responsible logging (such as the kind practiced in algonquin park) actually helps forests to thrive. Also, while clearcutting is usually a bad thing, it can also be forest saving, in the event that a bunch of trees are diseased, it can make sure that it doesnt spread to otherwise healthy trees, and decimate an entire forest.

  • rise against makes GOOD music vids

  • @MrLhines16

    not true,  Rise Against makes AMAZING music vids

  • Awesome video, and I love what it represents.

  • how would you feel if i tied a neckless around you neck and leaved you behind somewhere tied to a lantern? its SO WRONG ! IF YOU CAN CARE FOR AN ANIMAL DONT FRAKING BUY ONE!!!

  • @CrazyHead884

    Or! You could just NOT leave your animal tied to a lantern. There's people like myself, who's living 20 feet from a really big forest, with a big lawn and 4 family members to take care of the animal, in my case a dog. The dog loves our home and we can even keep our gate open without it trying to run away. And btw, if I would have to choose between getting left behind tied to a lantern ten minutes a day, or not live at all, I'd go for the first option.

  • @TheDisturbed0ne1 oh well ^^ i was trying to make a point.

  • different colored eyes ftw

  • Better off taking this out of me. Causing more drama and damage to your own society.

    Like I give a shit after you tried to murder me in Iraq. Next time... CONFESS to me!!!

  • xD

  • Im sorry but if i saw someone killing an animal or hurting one ima do the same to that person

  • This world is so fucked up! Poor poor animals. I hate how people treat them! I wish God would punish all people who abuse animals and people as well. Their day will come! Also Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Save electricity, take shorter showers/baths, eat less meat. Slaughterhouses pollute the air the most.Also carpool, bike, or walk to help out mother Earth.As well as experimentation. We should use people on death row who have committed murder and see how they like being tortured.

  • @XXXXXXILOVEHIMXXXXXX death row? if we kill them, how are we any different?

  • We as humans have caused great harm to our planet. It is our responsibility to restore it.

  • @edjorthebeast pfft, the planet itself is fine. the living things on it aren't, but they'll just be recycled, just like the dinosaurs. heh

  • @darazzin I agree we should release them all and we can go see them in the wild but if you get hurt them o well at least you experience nature

  • LOL Tim is husky-eyed ??? EPIC XD

  • Sadly hunting is a part of life. There is a "circle of life" a hunter lets a deer go free and that deer ends up having 3 baby deer, then those deer have more, and soon enough they are getting hit by cars or eating the flowers in your back yard.

  • fuck vegetarians

  • @TheShawii5

    fuck your mom to

  • @TheShawii5 hey, fuck you :D

  • genocide is bad, regardless of who the genocide is directed towards. I find all this "hunting" to be as bad as (if not, worse) the Holocaust. these creatures are defenceless and you flesh eating heathens take away their lives by the millions each year in the name of "nutrition". yeah fucking right, humans do not need animal protein anymore, thanks to science. any nay-sayers who want to debate me are welcome to try to give me a legit excuse for this second Holocaust.

  • wrong or not, we do what we do, and this video brings it to light. There will always be arguments over this kind of stuff. That won't change. I'm just here cause I like the song. That's it.

  • @LucasX21 please tell me what people? because if you are talking about other countries besides america we aer not ever giving them the food we have now and if you are talking about america then same answer

  • Animals shouldn't be kept in zoos! If you want to see the animals then go see them in the wild!

  • @darazzin and get mauled by tigers.

    See the flaw in your plan?

  • @GlophTheweb You are right but think of it;

    You are in a cell and some weird animals are looking at you?

  • @darazzin some people don't have that kind of money.
