  • This is amazing, completely addicted to this song.

  • NME magazine's Dan Silver criticized the band's approach on MTMN, calling it the "sound of a band trying and failing to forge a new identity", and referring to the song "Hands Held High", a song about terrorist attacks and war, as "far and away the funniest thing you will hear all year". Honestly Fuck That Guy, he doesn't know what real music is. Any band can recreate the same sound over and over again, it takes true creativity and talent to excell in other genres of music

  • best song ever man!!!! Im addicted to this song!!

  • @RedSlifer me to i love this song

  • the old linkin park songs were so good and has such meaning I wish they kept doing songs that are this powerful

  • "when the rich wage war its the poor that die" - the lyrics in this song are sooooooooooooooo awesome and thought provoking

  • i love that song but did anyone notice the guy saying amen on like the accuall recorded song he sounded kinda manly saying it on this he said it kinda girly lol but anyway great song

  • when the rich wage war its the poor who die" I got that quotes tattoo'd on my back around a flag waving with a cross in front of it! I love it no lie...undeniably worth the $180

  • @DisturbedArmy1 that quote plus a cross? isn't that a conflicting statement?

  • turn my mic up louder i gotta say something, 'when the rich wage war its the poor who die'. those two lines tell the song all on its own. i've made a hands held high 9/11 tribute on my you tube the day bin ladin was killed. this song always reminds me of the conflict and lives lost in terrorism and all wars. R.I.P to them all :'(

  • @Rick12397 True there...I mean first time I listened to it, it just blew me away...

  • these words are SO powerful....it really moves me...

  • This song means a lot for me, too.

  • It makes me cry. So awesome!

  • only government soldiers i will ever trust are out soldiers. Fuck the politicians. They run around campaigning and criticizing and laughing in their private jets as they send our young people to go die. Fuck obama, fuck bush, we need a revolution.

  • LP forever! <3

  • i love you guys. I love LP forever

  • Chesster sounds terible

  • This is the best song ever written

  • why cant a thousand suns be like this

  • @THEFALLEN093

    Did you think of Iron Maiden?

  • Amen to that.

  • this video made me write When The Rich Wage War Its The Poor Who Die in the back of my bible.

  • @totallyleafy thats disripectful to Jesus

  • @ggeoff2002

    how is that disrespectful?

    i think its a good quote to keep in mind in this world thats so quick to wage war thinking only of themselves, regardless of consequence. war isn't the last option, its one of the easier ones.. for the ones initiating it, anyways.

    and if its in my bible, ill see it multiple times a day. i have some quotes by famous christians and mother teresa, etc, in there too. keepin a good mindset.

  • @totallyleafy its disrespectful to write anything in a bible thats suppose to stay perfectly prestine

  • hate to break it to you, but the Bible is a book. its not the physical book itself that needs to be kept pure... its a book. if it falls in a puddle, God's not going to judge you. I underline all my favourite verses... is that disrespectful, too? i agree fully that if anyone tries to alter it or change it or take away the "prestine"ness of the holy word of God, then sure, that's disrespectful. But my Bible coverlet isn't sacred. and Mike Shinoda's words aren't disrespecing Jesus. :)

  • @totallyleafy wow are u that dumb i never said his words were disrespectful to jesus im saying writing in the bible is dumb ass, thats a sacred thing you shouldnt be writing or underlining anything in it, i guess ur just to poor to afford paper

  • Linkin Park isn't a normal Band..

    They are GODS..

  • tell mike tell i love linkin park

  • they REALLY should have made a music video outta this song.

  • @singlecell55 They NEED TO make a music video for this song. It would be too good.

  • @singlecell55 True that.

  • @singlecell55 i think the reason they haven't is because their is so much meaning in this song its hard to put it into a music video.

  • :"( rip grandpa

  • All i know is Mike is a modern day poet greatest lyrical writer this centurys ever seen

  • beautiful song.great great song

  • who ever hates lp's change is terrible songs like this made them better i think minutes to midnight is 100 times better then meteora and hybrid theory i love love them albums too but im saying how awesome m2m is ;)

  • the 42 people that disliked this, dont understand the song, and are just complete fuck tards. one of my favs :)

  • amazing

  • when i first listened to this song i was too ignorant to understand it. But in the 3-4 years of hearing the song (on my i pod), it has became one of my favorite songs of all time.

  • @ZoneOfResistance1 amen to that bro. same here at first i didnt really understand the song wen it came out, but i still liked it even though i really dont like rap, for some reason that songstill touched me and now that i listen to the lyrics and understand them, i know y it did and still does touch me

  • best song from LP

  • magnifica canzone

  • this song is deep, its touched my life and so many other lives, this song is the definition of loving what you do, and loving the troops that our out in these pointless wars like the war in iraq, risking their lives to save ours

  • @MERMAIDSEIRA6 the song isnt about loving the troops its about how the government or the rich and powerful get the people with no money and education to go and fight for them and they sit back and watch everything that happens

  • @ggeoff2002 well there can be multiple definitions but i do see the point you're trying to make, i agree 100% and the best quote is "on the back, he hand wrote a quote inside 'when the rich wage war, its the poor who die' meanwhile the leader just talks away, stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to reply, the rest of the world watching at the end of the day, both scared and angry like what did he say?" the whole MTM album was great, but this one was one of the songs most people loved

  • @MERMAIDSEIRA6 its not even just that, the government doesnt even care they only care about the wars they fight they dont care about there own people its sad

  • @ggeoff2002 mmhm, exactly, thats exactly why i hate being american cause the government don't give 2 shits about us

  • For those 42 Retards who missed the Like button, go to specsavers!

  • Mike Shinoda, what a lyrical wizard, Like, He can put words together like no one else can.

  • A very meaningful and deep son. The music cover is catchy but its the lyrics that make it a masterpiece.

  •  37million died in world war 1over 70 million died in world war 2and now there's a war going on in isreal and our soilders dying for our livesR.I.P..........a tear drop for the deceased.....

  • war SUCKS = l

  • thank you every single person who died fighting in the arms forces for our country.god bless you guys rest in peace forever

  • i'm afraid thanking them won't help in any away. It won't stop all the tears coming from their families, and the hatred they feel towards the government for sending these soldiers to war. Something has to be done to solve problems in different ways than just violence.

  • @olisorgho fraid not, these scumbag polotitions need to die drowning in their own blood wondering how this happened.first spreading your troops to thin that they cant protect you at home,two letting the bankers get away with a trillion dollor bailout while millions go hungry.three letting the divorce rait spiral out of control breaking up familys.four outsourcing 20 million jobs in the last ten years,cutting wages while you took pay raises they deserve what their going to get,cant stop us now

  • even with the horrible video quality you can see the conviction that they feel while performing this song and for those 40 that disliked this video leave the country(if your in America) i dont think you deserve to be an american if you can dislike that song i dont care who you are how much money you make your political power if you dont like this just leave

  • mike shinoda 4ever

  • It shows how vicious people can be. It's very sad. This song is up there with 'Hero of War' by Rise Against.

  • this song makes me sad beacuse my dads in afganastain and it remindes me of the war

  • Sometimes depending on your mood it makes you wanna cry

  • Great song but they dont sound as good live as they do on cd etc

  • @rbouley100. People never do. The one's on their CD is the best recorded version of it.

  • this is inspirrative 4 me u_u MIKE SHINODA RULES!!!!!!! :P

  • this video damn well should be the most viewed it is no doubt one of their most powerful songs

  • there are alot of political songs out there but this one is very straight forward. everything he says is true and he not tryin to hide with metaphors and things like that its the straight up truth

  • @lpfanatik188. Yeah. Another song that shows how vicious our troops really are is 'Hero of War' by Rise Against. There is a good side to everything; but that also means that there must be a bad side. Unfortunetly, it is mainly our leaders and the defenders of our country that are the bad side......

  • good one

    make me fight back

    thanx

  • this is the most powerful and most amazing song by any band I've ever head in my life...I challenge every who reads this to stand up for what you believe in everyday of your life. cuz its not stupid standing for what your standing for.

  • @HoZZiE109. Listen to Hero of War by Rise Against.

  • i want to cry everytime i hear the song...all salute to LP

  • sweet song i like it :D

  • the best song of the best songs from linkin park..

  • Phoenix at the end is amazing!

  • love chester voice!!

  • Lol he was alwayssaying fuck at the end

  • Thank you mike, I fucking love you....

    This video gave a new colour to the song. Each time I am in bad mood I listen to it and i can' t deny that it fucking helps a lot. I live in Greece and things are pretty bad here, this song just covers everything, every single mischief of the freaking government. Thanks again.... I love you guys, keep up the good work :)

  • @Gimwe stay strong!

  • when i do grow up im going to protect my nation when the rich wage war its the poor who die its so uplifting when i go tho a tough time i listen to this

  • wow this is the first time LP played HHH live, its amazing. :)

  • omg this song is so meaningful i wish that what he has put in this song would be a message carried through out the world by politians and normal people alike every where i know from now on ima step up and take the stands that need to be taken

  • i've noticed that he said in the begaining that this means alot to him and i feel what he's talking about, this song means so much to me, its made me think about the times in my past and made me cry so much but i never knew what to do, so im hopeing some time ill find an answer that im strong enuf for

  • @iheartriley101 Its phoenix.

  • @w3isong cool thanks! i never knew phoenix had such a beautiful voice!

  • I like to believe im rich and powerful, though im not stuck up myself like most leaders. Being an inline skater, I give back to my community. Organising Skatemeets and competitions with huge giveaways. Thats how i spend my money (Y)

  • sad...

  • YOU ALL ARE WRONG

    librarys ruined the countrys

  • do u mean LIBERALS?? or actually librarys. cuz if u do mean librarys id love to know how books could ruin a country?

  • it wasn't just the liberals who destroyed the country it is both liberals and conservatives they don't care about issues or beliefs all they care about is power so you can't pin how are country is on one party

  • no every rich person is not bad but a lot of them just don't care

  • The modern libs have destroyed america!

  • This song gives me goosebumps everytime, i wish I could tell them how much they've achieved with this song.
