  • i can't believe they chopped down all those trees, just for a music video. Irresponible or what?!

  • 176 can fly and dont fear falling

  • I hate it when all the comments are complaining about the top comments. :)

  • I also hate when one of the top comments is a comment saying "I hate when both top comments are replies

  • why isn't my comment among the top comments?.... I have 50 more likes than the comment that's on top right now, just saying.,,,

  • "Only after all the trees have been hewed down, only after all the Earths bodies of water become polluted, only after all of lifes animals are poached, will people realize money cannot be eaten".

    Words of wisdom here. :)

  • 176 ppl ready to fly xD

  • I ate my girlfriend's pussy last night like a vegetarian eating a salad!!! NOM NOM NOM!!! Just because u don't eat meat doesn't mean I have to!!!

  • I get like save the animals but trees??? cmon they grow back and we have to have trees unless u wanna live in a cave.

  • @mrthefunnyman12345 They also provide oxygen for the earth, We'd die without them, and we're currently cutting down more then the amount that grow back.

  • Did anyone notice that Tims eyes at 0:11 are different color?

  • @GreenwooddPop Of course, he has rare genetic defect called heterochromia, I believe. It's situation in which recessive allele is not being "overscored" by dominant allele. Try googling it mate.

  • i dont know why , but Rise Agianst is Best band

  • this song and video are just showing how fucked up the world is now days not "become a vegiatarian" or "plants are dying" its just saying hey open your eyes this is what we have become now and we need to stop destroying it

  • I hate when both top comments are replies

  • @moonflash343 i hate it when the top comments are about top comments and not the actual videoen,,,,

  • @moonflash343 I hate when a stupid comment like that is the top comments. Its called, Open a New Tab, In that Tab, Press Ctrl + F then you type in the Name of whoever you want and it will find their comment. Magic!

  • @GnarKillx420 and im pretty sure every animal would like to eat you too

  • @GnarKillx420 I'm sure this video isn't to convert to be a vegetarian, just how the animals are treated and killed with no intention of becoming somebodies dinner.

    For instance, free ranged chicken is guilt free, due to the fact they aren't abused and crammed into tiny cages.

  • @GnarKillx420 your missing the point of the song

  • Animals produce methane which is bad for us, but plants produce oxygen which is good for us. We need it. So by eating meat I am eating the problem, you idiotic vegetarians are eating the solution.

  • i eat meat like its my job

  • @moussoccer Hehehehe....I bet you do >:3

  • some people say this is normal there is nothing normal aboat this. we are tearing done there homes to make ours. is that right....i say no its not right at all we are steeling there homes its like we are just steeling from are self two and yes plants are living its like cuting are own legs of and making are body to food\homes its just not right.

  • If you get the message the video tried to send, dont forget to watch (and listen) this aswell:

    /watch?v=HwELajFteTo

  • Also, fucking ace live... Justsayin'

  • Top song. 'We only have one planet, one chance' Truth.

  • Really, the problem isn't animal abuse, because all omnivores have the same diet as most humans, and they don't horribly mistreat animals. Realistically speaking, our planet is ruled by soft lazy creatures with severely dulled instincts and senses. These weak creatures only tool is their powerful brain, which they have used to find ways to store massive amounts of living meat in very compact spaces. These spaces must be compact because the fleshy ones have overpopulated. See where I'm going?

  • good music if u are angry

  • omg his eyes are gorgeus!!!

  • @megadoodle456 welcome to the world of the beautiful Tim McIlrath ;3

  • im eating chicken Nuggets right now.........

  • @rockout7190 good for you

    

  • I'm a vegetarian, have been pretty much all my life. I went through a period when I was like five where I ate fish and chicken, then I realised that I was actually eating animals. Man I was dumb.

  • @IsobellaKatherine My God. Are you serious? You actually ate other animals? Just like foxes, wolves, dogs, cats, tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, bears, bats, aardvarks, sharks, frogs, eagles, hawks, falcons, seals, otters, wolverines, ferrets, and any other carnivore? That's so unnatural! I know you didn't start this whole vegetarian comment spree, but what does it have to do with the song?

  • @SirProcrastinate I'm not a carnivore, I'm an omnivore. Have you not seen the video? Humans have domesticated themselves, we can survive without meat, and other animals can't. Their bodies aren't built to do so. We breed animals, so we can kill them and eat them. They're born to die.

  • Comment removed

  • "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

  • @xScreamToRisex My grandfather's sister.

  • @TheLeaderofBDC sorry:(

  • @xScreamToRisex Thanks. All living things will eventually die.

  • @TheLeaderofBDC Who did??

  • @mjk980o Tim McIlrath.

  • @TheLeaderofBDC wat does "straight edge?

  • @AVERAGEPERSON2010 A person who don't take drugs, alcohol, caffeine and tobacco, don't take part in promiscuous sex, and follow vegetarian or vegan diet. Tim McIlrath is a perfect example.

  • 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 then i strongly agree with you dude :)

  • @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,

  • @blueNwhiteguitarist Touche'. I am pretty sure that could count as an exception.

  • @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

  • @mleary95 Plants don't have nervous systems or emotions so they don't feel any pain.

  • @mleary95 It's the same with most of the meat u eat aswell... Just so u know :P

  • @mleary95 You're an idiot. Plants don't have central nervous system or thought processes. Sorry, you're not going to make yourself feel better about eating meat because "plants have feelings too"!!

  • @mleary95 rofl

  • @mleary95 ha ha very funny. plants are not sentient, plants do not feel pain or suffer.

  • @mleary95 The video was about nature, both animals and plants. It was a metaphor for how we treat "Mother Nature", not "Mother Earth". So the flaw there is, "Are we suppossed to eat eachother?"

  • @DeathForRomance errrrrm......a kind weird question if you ask me but u do have a point there

  • @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
