August Burns Red - "Rationalist"

[nemy59]

1:30 best riff ever

[pushstart1t]

they never play this song in concert i been to 3 shows with them :(

[kylepoobear]

The riff at 1:30 is the BEST part of this entire album imo. So good.

[PinealGlandInfinity]

this and redemption are my faves

[the302forlife]

seriously? shut the fuck up about religion and listen to the goddamn song

[JacobyElfbonerWilkes]

2:10 + subwoofers= <3

[whispersilk]

I love this song despite being an atheist. U mad?

[SuperReyesking]

@whispersilk no glad to know you are you.

[mrstealyogirl2012]

1:31(:

[JacobyElfbonerWilkes]

people need to stop talkin about damn religion on all abr songs cause all religion does is start stupid shit about stupid shit that stupid ass people arent even fully sure about

[Woodynator1]

@JacobyElfbonerWilkes Religion on itself never started any problem in the world, think stuff like the crusades where about religion or was religion abused as a way to gain more power?

[BillNyeTheNaziSpy7]

Are we still honestly pitting ourselves against each other with this entire athiests v.s. christian fiasco? There's something called forums if any of you feel the need to vent your anger out on people with different beliefs - I'm calling out especially on the atheists on the ABR videos who I've noticed for the longest time, most of them start these kind of stupid fights.

[falconpunchbrah]

your all cunts enjoy the music.

[Paeddyful]

Atheists attacking believers: Fucking Assholes

Religious people attacking Atheists: Fucking Assholes

Why don't most people understand this? Idiots.

[MrMalibujunkies]

@Paeddyful well spoken

[ihateapplejuicee]

@Paeddyful you know A.B.R is a Christian band right?

[Paeddyful]

@ihateapplejuicee Yeah, I know. So what? I don't have a problem with it. I'll tolerate religious people as long as they tolerate me. It is as easy as that.

[timmynovinger]

@Paeddyful tolerance is such an unfriendly word. What's wrong with enjoying religious or nonreligious people. I'm a devout Christian and some of my best friends are very athiest. People need to learn to love one another in spite of differences in belief.

[IchFickDeineExistenz]

@Paeddyful

i hardly see atheists attacking christians... they're mainly just stating facts or argueing in a non-offensive way...

apart from that, you're right

[ZeoTheZombie]

@Paeddyful Christianity has always started shit with other people simple because they're different than them, do you really expect there not to be a retaliation?...Imagine if Someone came into your home and said they were going to kill you because you don't believe the same thing as them and you're unworthy of happiness because you aren't like them...well this is why nobody wants to follow the religion and why everyone looks down on them, Christians are the biggest hypocrites, shall not kill?bs.

[TheSnyrithe]

2:12 YOU PLAY MONOPOLY

[anton1927382]

what i this?? metalcore from the music, but the text???

[80085ftw]

@anton1927382 most probably some meaning about "rationalists"/the atheists are wrong and that they're trying to make others like themselves "believie in unbelief", meaning that there is not a god, as in the christian one, probably. Sounds like a "You're wrong and stupid atheists and you while be judged for it" song. The riffing is genious though. I don't agree with, what I think, the song is about.

[legnd1256]

@80085ftw they dont write their music in dislike towards other religions or asking them to change if u listen to their other music it expresses individuality. this song is just written about people who dont see the reality in life and who take most things for granted and dont relize how precious things really are

[ChiefPimpable]

I like this song :)

[TheFireInside9]

i get so sad when people that don't believe in christ put christianity down especially around this time of year. :(

[greyw0lf001]

i dont believe in god but i dont hate those who do but just dont preach to me about it and its fine ^ soon as you preach makes it a cult in my opinion :)

[zzgustavzz]

To all August Burn Red fans:

watch?v=KYsHUpG-2nM&feature=re­lated

Impressive work!

[JoniSpieltDrums]

BEST EVER

[1123359]

Atheist don't really know the truth,they don't even know the true agenda.....

[lukerr87]

This is quite boring and the lyrics are very un-interesting. sorry, just my opinion.

[girlychula1]

@lukerr87 This song obviously applies to you. Fucking rationalists.

[3rushma]

i jizzed at 0:14

[zezimadude13]

Those guitar riffs and drum beats are anything but rational... they may as well have named this song "Contradiction"

[kidrok121]

Christians put all energies in 1, making 1 energy, what they call "God". But when you take god, and divide him, you've got Gods. You have anger, happiness, sadness (Any energy, emotions are energies, we FEEL them, but they're not physical). The Gods are in us, we are the energies joined. Think about it, love hate and whatnot all in one, making a soul. Not god. The Gods are within our soul, thats why Pagans meditate, instead of beg god. Believe in yourself, in your soul, because you are God-like.

[xXxMrsGontierxXx]

i dont like most of ABR's stuff, but this is one of their best songs.

you dont have to be christian to like christian music.

you can listen to death metal and still be christian.

dont judge people based on their religion; thats all i have to say.

[misscavillier]

0:00-0:13, "OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!"

[kidrok121]

ALright, this to all the religion discussion. Does anyone believe in Aliens? Well I dont care whether you do or dont, the fact is, they are here. Look, dont sit here and critisize this until youve watched all five of the vdeos, then form an opinion on whats real and whats not. Watch this. This, this right here is the truth, this is what the government has hid from us, its not letting me post the link, so just look up: " Howard Menger Space Brother Contactee ". Then you'll really know whats up.

[dizzy4617]

@kidrok121 yea this isn't about aliens guy, its about atheists thinking they know everything. No other religion criticizes other religions or tells them how stupid they are. That's what the song is talking about, not aliens

[kidrok121]

@dizzy4617 I know I was just putting this out there cause everyone is talking about religion, well, if you believe in any religion, these videos will change peoples beliefs. I see a bunch of religious shit, and I tell people to look that up, if they do, then they really dont have religion after. Unless your Pagan or Athiest. Or anything close. But generally, if someone who is monotheistic is to see this, it would blow their fucking mind. Besides, the truth needs to get out anyways.

[dizzy4617]

@kidrok121 I'm not going to look it up because, no offense, but i dont really care about other beliefs. i believe in God and my savior Jesus which is what August Burns Red is all about. I'm not going to tell you I hate you or anything because you are atheist and I'm accepting of other religions. After being abused as a child my faith lies in Christianity, it's gotten me through a lot, so I'm sticking with it

[macamerson]

@dizzy4617 amen

[dizzy4617]

@macamerson thanks man, glad to see somebody appreciates what im trying to say hah

[macamerson]

@dizzy4617 no problem bro :) haha

[crazystratton33]

@dizzy4617 AMEN BROTHA'!

[dizzy4617]

@crazystratton33 thanks brotha! haha i don't think people realize what ABR is really about, they made the song for a reason obviously hahahaha

[mixtli31]

@gabecombs82

sweet my faith lies with christ too he's helping me get through 7th grade now

[Scarface6238]

@dizzy4617 Amen! Jesus said "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." - John 14:7

But I didn't know that August Burns Red are Christians, but that's awesome! Now I reeeaaallly like them.

[dizzy4617]

@Scarface6238 exactly, seems like people don't get it anymore. But thats the whole reason i started listening to them, not a big fan of traditional hymns so I thought id give this a shot. Loved them ever since haha

[mexicanstandup]

@dizzy4617 Shut up ignorant white monkey

[dizzy4617]

@mexicanstandup and what would you're problem be?

[ToxicSnowmen]

@mexicanstandup "Mexicanstandup"... I can tell your a racist. Does it make you feel good about yourself if I said that all Mexicans are affiliated with gang violence? And have shitty education? Not to mention that they work for real cheap right? I'm sure that your just going to respond in a racist manor, so don't bother. I don't expect an apology to that guy either, I don't give two shits. I am just saying racism isn't cool bra.

[xjohnychristcorex]

@dizzy4617 that's the spirit! We are the warriors of the Kingdom of Heaven!!

[dizzy4617]

@xjohnychristcorex Amen! A great way of putting it!

[dizzy4617]

@kidrok121 i don't know exactly what you are trying to say but the "truth" you speak of sounds like bull. I say just keep listening to ABR, could do you a lotta good

[dizzy4617]

@kidrok121 and people are going to talk about religion considering ABR is a CHRISTIAN band

[kurzy55]

I love this band, but find it funny because their belief in a god is completely irrational. there is 100% no proof for a god, but a shit ton of proof that their is not a god for example the big bang, religous people always ask where did the dark energy and dark matter come from so this rapid expansion could occur... their answer: god. BUT that doesn't explain it. We know, we don't know where that energy/ matter came from. But please tell me what created your God.

[supaaforrest]

@noragoth

Your a straight fucking dumbass noragoth is the shittiest black metal band even if any of them were good. Black metal is fucking repetative garbage that takes no skill to play, learn your shit if you wanna talk shit

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

@nargorothfreak666 You're the pussy here. Go listen to some death metal like a real man, then maybe you'll learn to enjoy other genres of music

[givewarachance117]

[nargarothfreak666]

@nargarothfreak666

are you mad?

[mercenaries112]

@nargarothfreak666 Lol oh my god your funny. Gotta love the black metal fags that think anything that doesn't sound like it was produced in a norwegian forest sucks. Not to mention black metal vocals suck huge dick. ind I like black metal. So please stop being so ignorant.

[nargarothfreak666]

@mercenaries112

i dont like the norwegian black metal very much

so no. i am a big fan of the dutch - finish and Swedish black metal.

[DarthDrac0Ven0m]

@nargarothfreak666 Everyone's answer to you, right here: /watch?v=RFZrzg62Zj0

[red6sand6sasori]

@nargarothfreak666

all black metal sounds like a bunch of pigs getting raped in the ass

[iceofthefuture1]

I remember a time when music was music and people didn't put their 2 cents into every small analysis. We really need to get back to that..

[ieatkalebbadgers]

@iceofthefuture1 so you're like 92 years old?

[TheStoneYak0]

This is my favorite ABR song. I heard it on shuffle on my friends ipod a while back but forgot to ask what it was, just rediscovered it a few weeks ago. Been listening to it ever since.

[1mattcamo]

okay on the whole ABR being religious thing.. truely. who gives a fuck? there a band.not a priest group, there here purely to make music they love, and we love it too, thats why were on this video. just because you have a screamo band, doesnt mean your not aloud to believe in a god. @usernameisalex THANK YOU! there actually are people with some sence in there head. but to everyone else calling abr retarded for believing in a god.. just stop posting cause no one cares.

[MrsTatsntits]

Its seems like all you people focus on is the little difference of ABR being religious when really its not a big deal, quit arguing about whether there is or isn't a god because your not going to change someones opinion from a youtube arguement. Its just annoying.

[surjimster6]

Sick tune but August Burns Red needs to stop being so retarded. Logic is not exceptional to those who question conventional wisdom. If it weren't for skeptics... well would you enjoy life in the middle ages?

[planbsk8er64]

@surjimster6 DO NOT judge ABR. im pretty sure gods know more than you

[surjimster6]

@planbsk8er64 You're assuming that there are gods to know more. And I'm pretty sure they are placing judgment in this song. I thought only god could do that? HYPOCRISY!?!?

[planbsk8er64]

@surjimster6 That is my point. "i'm pretty sure gods know more than you" means that every member in ABR is a god. so they can do that.

[D1uGun]

@planbsk8er64 freakin. win.

[Kylmana12951]

@surjimster6

hows about you SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[surjimster6]

@Kylmana12951 What do you make of the lyrics? Music aside (because it's fuckin phenomenal), these dudes are not that intelligent when it comes to philosophy. They are calling out skepticism? Just tryna get people to think about it, dude. Think before you speak! It helps.

[JourneymanofShred]

@surjimster6 I do believe that they may be referring, more recently, to the blatant skeptics in churches and on the streets unwilling to suspend disbelief for a moment and acknowledge the fact that while there may NOT be a God, it has yet to be proven, which makes it a belief. Hence 'believe in unbelief.' Just a thought...

[usernameisalex]

I'm a skeptic, I believe in unbelief, I'm not hiding from anything, and I won't see myself to the exit.... but abr is so awesome. Love music regardless of petty differences <3.

[jacobrocks21]

hell yes, this song is a fucking shred.

[TheOVERLORDofHELL]

9 people can't handle this music...

[browiththehair]

1:30 <3333333333333333

[skiierman100]

@TestMeatDollSteak Shhhhh....

[WoodenWalrus]

awhhhmahhhgawddd. <3

[theTVremote2697]

THE WHOLE SONG IS SICK!!!!!!!

[KILLACAMERONable]

the last part is sick

[Acorms96]

the intro is SICK!

[mrAmazing607]

I wonder if I listen to the christan station If I will hear this

[michaelhackett100]

now THIS is good christian music! =D

[motorheadanthrax]

nice music, bad lyrics

[JWalkersAnonomous]

@motorheadanthrax HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[OnThePavementFilming]

@motorheadanthrax all JWalkersAnonomous said was HAHAHA.. "cont'd" and I def. agree with him haha. Music and lyrics are awesome ;)

[motorheadanthrax]

@OnThePavementFilming music is awesome ideed, but the lyrics are just poorly made, even for a christian band...i do not think that i am a hypocrite by beign a sceptic....

[Lycanpaester]

@motorheadanthrax Theres a deep meaning bro.. A skeptic is a person who doubts any kind of religion thus being a Athiest or Agnostic. The hypocrite part comes in when we diss God. When we choose to be a skeptic we choose to not believe God... making our existence impossible. So picture it, us believing we're fake. Thus, being the truth and doubting the truth makes us a hypocrite.

[damulac1]

@Lycanpaester (even though agnostic doesnt necessarily mean doubting religion) just saying

[colorculture]

@damulac1 mhm, agnostic = believing our origins are unknown until further notice. Athism is opposition to belief of any God.

[colorculture]

@Lycanpaester That doesnt make our existance impossible. That's your opinion I see though.

It's cool to hear people interpret lyrics though. at least there arnt hater comments up in this. :P

[armyaviationproud]

@Lycanpaester Nice try, but no dice. That is only your opinion and my opinion is that you're way off. First off, I believe it is about claiming to be atheist.not agnostic so leave them out of it."Believe in unbelief" is simply saying what atheism is...believing that there is no God which is a lack of believe in that. However, the whole premise of the lyrics is BS and is basically them taking a shot at atheists. Not very admirable by any means. I'm not Christian anymore, but i'm not stupid either

[armyaviationproud]

@Lycanpaester in continuation....a lack of God does not make our existence impossible. We are not truth either. We are simply humanity and being atheist is not a lack of believe in humanity...but in God. This song is BS, but the music is good.

[smackknot]

@Lycanpaester Nothing you said makes any sort of sense whatsoever. Argue about religion when you can form a complete thought.

[kat123791]

@smackknot hes talking about the lyrics for the song

[smackknot]

@kat123791 I know that, but everything he said was retarded.

[diehardorlive1]

@Lycanpaester lol i'm not athiest, the thing is... why do we need religion? Live good lives and don't let someone form it for you. Being a skeptic isn't all bad. You just analyze things more than others. Picking the wrong path isn't great and Christianity has done great for people but it also has cause hurt. I just want to live a happy life. A life that I can choose for myself and not having anyone tell me how to live and brainwash you. JUST LIVE YOUR FUCKING LIFE.

[KingProductionsRS]

oh how this song is so under rated.....

[AlphaBlast1]

I love this song sooooo much!

[LionOMGWTFBBQ]

The perfect song to play when you're tired of hypocrites.

[CoDpEnGuIn]

greatest, intro, ever

[KingProductionsRS]

Okay this song is so amazing and it deserves to have a music video and it deserves to be played at their first song at shows. This song is sooo under rated

[Subwheezer]

Their lyrics are awesome

[legnd1256]

i love 1:08 -> with the guitar and the low "dissonance" in the background

[Ichaseschoolbuses]

@legnd1256 whats so special? O_o

[legnd1256]

@Ichaseschoolbuses idk i just like the sound

[ag3n7007]

@legnd1256 me too

[HiPPoKryPtiC]

@rickiricki you like melodic death metal hahahhha Between The Buried And Me is just for you. listen to the damn songs all the way through you will learn

[ninjachicken62]

all august burns red songs are good u people just dont know good music when you hear it

[TheFaceOfJohnPants]

I swear I can bench 20 more pounds with this song. fuck protein shakes when you have metal.

[ag3n7007]

@TheFaceOfJohnPants thats so true. in our school, when we have gym, we go to the fitness center and we are allowed to bring our ipods. this is the only song i listen to. im only 13 years old and i swear to god, i lifted 50 more pounds then i usually do.

[SnowBlazeBlue]

RRRRRRRRRRRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! I LESS THAN THREE IT

[logiconmywrist]

wow sucky ass band -.-

[Steveeeeeeeeeeeeeeey]

@logiconmywrist dont like it, dont watch it

[SWsnowblower]

@logiconmywrist Then what is your definition of good? If you say rap or those popular artists like lady gaga or etc ill fucking die laughing

[ABRAsylum]

@logiconmywrist: True, it's not for everyone, but "sucky"?. You're talking about truely creative artists who put a lot of time and energy into their music. You can not like their music, but as to whether they are talented or not, them being so stands a fact. At least they don't take 5 minutes create their "music" entirely on a soundboard, using basically the same boring beat everyone seems to enjoy, write some cliche stupid lyrics, and call it a song like 85% of the music industry does today.

[TheFaceOfJohnPants]

@logiconmywrist YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THIS (this being Jesus)

[ag3n7007]

@logiconmywrist you need a big old can of shut the hell up.

[danscomp13]

ABR has a new album coming out sooooooon :)

[TheTwill12]

this band sucks ,generic metalcore

[winzlow125]

@TheTwill12 cool story bro, stop bein a dick with the rest of us ABR lovers

[Fatal12345]

@TheTwill12 oh what a coincedence because you are a generic faggot!

[SWsnowblower]

@TheTwill12 If ABR sucks then thats the only thing you two have in common! Hint: You suck.

[PosthumouslyObscure]

@TheTwill12 Whatever...good bands will always have haters! :)

[CJFXChris45]

@TheTwill12 Your criticism offers no logic or sense. Your stereotyping, and a stereotypical statement like that is just an ignorant notion of a particular band. If you don't like a band, you should at least make sense when you criticize it.

[7isforAWESOME]

He says, "You can't hide from this. You can't hide from YOU."

[cupcakkerobber]

Y havent they played this live!!!

[db98026]

My favorite song on the album, no contest
