Protest the Hero- Fear and Loathing in Leramie

[ReelMan729]

Protest the Hero was my favorite band before I heard this song, but I'm gay and the fact that they had the nads to do this song really changed the way I saw them

[andrewlguitar]

@ReelMan729 haha but you just said you like nads???

[TheGuitarifier]

@ps3nerd5 Nah dude, Kezia came before Fortress

[1guah]

what album is this from?!

[MrNotch9]

@1guah it's not off an album. it was off an ep they released before kezia. it's "a calculated use of sound."

[1guah]

what album is this from?!

[bluespringwater]

They should re-record this song...

[McZeroMedia]

This song makes me hurl through my ears.

[ArthurZ101]

ok... i get the message and i agree with it... but WTF are they saying???

[TheConnordt]

@ArthurZ101

what part XD

[ArthurZ101]

@TheConnordt That one part from 0:20-3:30... Just a tiny section lol

[TheConnordt]

@ArthurZ101 compassion is shit, soft spoken words and a look of concern, the fire is lit, emotion will never extinguish these flames that inaction has built, what makes it burn, a nation so straight deviations a crime, when will we learn, sexuality is not a punishable offence, on a cold october night, a gentle soul was crucified, what remains of his blood still stains our idle hands, soft spoken words wont justify, culprits are we, lets talk about rights, lets talk about sexual orientatation

[TheConnordt]

@ArthurZ101 lets talk about you, and an entire homophobic nation, can we not separate ourselves from such hate, lets sever the head of the beast with the crown, lets no longer participate,will you follow me down, WHY WONT ANYONE STAND UP. obviously some parts are repeated, but those are all the lyrics XD

[ArthurZ101]

@TheConnordt lol thank you :)

[RobertEdgeBurciul]

@ArthurZ101 What? they're saying that sexuality is not a fucking crime..?

[ArthurZ101]

@RobertEdgeBurciul ... The words.... The words are the thing I don't understand

[TSWfilms]

I like how one of your tags is "chode"

[chucknorrisrox126]

@TSWfilms Holy shit it is o_O

[RisetoFall35]

Just wrote a paper about this song for my Protest and Public Opinion class. This is a damn powerful song that asks all the right questions and throws everything on the table. Gotta love PTH.

[PaganGypsy]

This song gives me chills.

[lustxxlove]

Fred Phelps just needs to come out of the closet.

[occasionallydumb]

such a decent song like most bands don't sing about stuff like this well at least non that ive heard and its just tight shit

[RisingMetalDemon]

...and sadness will sear lol

[deathscyte9]

so.. where can i see the guy that says to think it's fifty fifty?

[personman48]

@deathscyte9 its from a movie about it called "the leramie project". i dont know if anyone actually said that.

[cchambe9]

Being that I live just a few hours from Laramie, Wyoming, I hear a lot about what goes on there. It's easy to label something like this a hate crime, but anyone who lives around here could tell you there was a lot more going on than a few kids beating someone to death because of their sexual preference. Now I wouldn't put it past some of the intolerant pieces of shit that live around here to beat up a homosexual, but supposedly Mathew was beat up over matters relating to drugs... ?

[Peter07Pal]

Moe looks alot like Cliff burton in this pic.

[braadyguitarmaster]

yeah he does a bit

[BackflipBrandon]

@Peter07Pal lol a little bit

[SKYELOVE45]

The scary thing is i live in Wyoming.

Where Matthew lived..

and It makes my friends who are gay..

afraid to be them selfs.

and thats a horrible thing not to be able to do..

:[ <33 r.i.p Matthew shepard.

[kittieway]

Rip Matthew Shephard.

[TonksMoony]

in memory of Matthew Shepherd

[jamiepoultonadult]

i may sound dumb but whos matthew sheppard?

[TonksMoony]

Google Matthew Shepherd and then you'll know. He was the kid this song is based on.

[jamiepoultonadult]

alright man, thanks. tortured and murdered for being gay? damn. better give the song a better listen then.

[idiotboy172]

[ImNorthPole]

[Atreyu1611]

Hey Winnipeg gave us Comeback Kid who are an amazing band...they were better with Scott Wade but there still really good

[rassiisonia]
