[bakkerworld]

i am glad i found this song because it beautiful song

[heroofwar27]

Ich bekomm bei dem Lied immernoch Gänsehaut, ich kenn kaum ein Lied mit einem solchen Thema, welches mich und so viele Menschen berührt

[kleinerPunkrocker01]

Ich liebe dieses Lied einfach nur.

[Superfreezen]

Die einzige Fahne die es sich zu hissen lohnt is die rot-weiß-rote

Rot-Weiß-Rot bis in den Tot!

Österreich!

[heroofwar27]

@Superfreezen

Ich hoffe, das ist ein Scherz, ansonsten hättest du den Sinn dieses Liedes nicht verstanden, oder du bist nur ein mieser Rassist! Das Einzigste wofür es sich lohnt zu kämpfen ist der Frieden

[123knura]

@Superfreezen

dann geh mal schön schnell sterben

[savethepandas1000]

The lyrics to this song mean slot to me I'm 13 and my dad just died sep 13 2011 in afganistan and I sang this song at his memorial me and my brother played the acoustic version I did main guitar he did the like base part thingy but it brought everyone to tears this song means a lot to me

[partyboy13397]

1:01 circle pit of respect

[calybaby100]

I freaking hate this song people die fir us and ur bagging on them. I would die for are country if u don't like are flag and if u don't like it or like any other flag more get out of my f****** county u shouldn't even be on thus planet people are dieing for u and ur bagging on them. I would die for this flag and the way u spent your freedom is bagging on the men who gave it to you

[samuelledieu]

@calybaby100 u didnt understand ANYTHING of this song. Are u retarded?

[ThePunkMetalhead]

@calybaby100 Hes not attacking any soliders hes attacking the government as a whole... the entire reason we have a military is to protect freedoms such as... freedom of speech.. so stop complaining. On another note.. you should really get some kind of an education.. your horrible spelling of the most basic words is pretty embarrassing to the rest of us.

[TheMiningWarrior]

@calybaby100 "It's the flag that i love, its the only flag that i trust". Thats all i need to say

[JamesHackSk8s]

@calybaby100 The song is about governments of the world as a whole. Look up the kill team, thats what american soldiers are doing to innocent people. How proud are you now to be american? "Real revolution starts with LEARNING. If you're not angry, you're not paying attention" LEARN the facts.

[calybaby100]

This is a freaking retarded song there might be some bad apples in are military but mist of them are good I would due fir are flag and if u don't trust in it Or look up to any other flag and people gave are lives for that flag so if u don't like that flag and If u like this song get the hell out of my f****** country

[KillaCamIzMLG]

@calybaby100 I understand that you're upset because you didn't get the basics of this video down. This video isn't out to 'Bag' on anyone in our Military. But for the love of god, if you're going to try to convince us that you want to die for our country, then atleast spell the basic english language right.. I mean honestly, we can all tell you're a 8 year old boy, that tells his classmates that he wants to join the Military to be tough.. I personally, ship off to bootcam soon..

[MrStevenPoo]

love this song

<3

[MrPowerbob]

I am German, too but I'm very disappointed of the Germans who fly our flag in this Song.

They don't understand the message of that Song -.-

[nIc01997]

@MrPowerbob die denken halt nur weil da "flag" vorkommt müssen die mal die deutsche flagge hoch halten...

[ADevilsHollywood]

This song is amazing... Honestly probably one of my favourite Rise Against songs.

It tells the story of a soldier, the truth of the job. But underlying is the pain and the sickness that they feel, that no one ever really thinks about.

Fucking love this band.

[WWETheOrtonViper]

@ADevilsHollywood yea you´re right , in 1month i´m in the german army ,then i become a soldier ,too , a soldier can be proud to fight for his country , but not to die on the battlefield

[Lagger9003]

Wie ein Mann ganz plötzlich seinen Stolz verlieren kann,wenn er jemand Unschuldigen tötet...

[bieberMAN93]

when will people start to screw flags,exept for that of freedom itself?!

[TheXheadHUNTERX98]

Die einzige FLAGGE die sich lohnt zu LIEBEN ist die ROT WEIß ROTe

PLEASE like

[sonyblack207]

@TheXheadHUNTERX98

ösi 4 life

[daSiNeDD94]

@TheXheadHUNTERX98 Den kack wird keiner liken ;)

[Pilotmilka]

@TheXheadHUNTERX98 Weißt du da sieht man das du nicht die Lycris verstehst -_-

[KevKanuschka89]

Is that what they see? just medals and scars.. so damn proud of me...

[Mktaids37]

ich find der letze chorus haut alles raus<3

[hbrlover234]

Can anyone pleeeaaseee tell me what kind of guitar that is ?

[fanta116]

@hbrlover234 this is a acoustic guitar or what mean you?

[Metamike332]

In düsseldorf haben sich zu Hero of war alle hin gesetzt.

[bohaha1000]

Wunderschönes Lied. Ich kann die Leute nicht verstehen die sagen dieses Lied sei Kriegsverherrlichend. LEUTE HÖRT EUCH DEN TEXT AN! Dann wisst ihr das es ein Anti-Kriegslied ist! Daumaen hoch wer genauso denkt wie ich!

[wazamada]

@themini14guy

Where do u get off!! U dont think ur precious military n government arent after money, everything is about money, this song is amazing for what it stans for :) take a long walk off a short pier :P

[flakes56]

und alles schweigt am ende *.*

[MrIllayah]

It's so beautiful.. i love his voice.. it's so.. amazing..

[gioni1995]

i love this this feeling when everbody just listen to you and your message :) it must be wonderfull

[zudyykas]

They cut of my head, but it looks alright :DDDDD

[bohaha1000]

@zudyykas you didnt really heard that instead of 'they cut of my hair but it looks alright' 'they cut of my head' right?

[bohaha1000]

Hero of war ist so ein emotional berührendes Lied wenn man sich den Text anhört. Das ist einfach wunderschön und ich habe bei Rockkonzerten noch nie erlebt, dass alle schweigen und nur der Musik lauschen. Was ich nicht verstehe ist, dass manche Leute sagen 'Hero of war' sei Kriegsverherrlichend. Ich glaub die haben sich einfach den Text sich nicht richtig angehört. Daumen hoch wer genauso denkt!

[valldemart]

@bohaha1000 Ich kenne auch so jemanden, der aus dem Titel direkt auf den Inhalt schließt und meint das Lied sei Kriegsverrherlichend.

[MegaNirvas]

1:00 Beautiful

[TheBorusse95]

Wenn Krieg die Antwort ist, fragen wir die falsche Frage....

[mcr3daygrace]

this is an amazing song. its one of my favorites next to swing life away and make it stop,septembers child. Rise Against thank you for being one of the very few bands to step out of the box and write a beautiful, amazing song. live on 4vr! :)

[fannyslapper33]

@TheMini14guy No.....its people like you that should burn

[Finsaful]

In an interview he said that this is not a anti american oder anti war song...He said that that it's cool if you are a soldier and get along with this job..but there are men next to you that don't feel this way... and the song is for these people

[TheMini14guy]

Most anti-American song ever. We don't fight for are money we don't fight to carry a damn gun. We fight for u. And most of all my brothers that fight next to me. People that are in the military fight for ur rights and freedoms and this band takes them for granted. U should burn. It's people like u that made America's government corrupt. I highley fought u would give blood for people you don't even know. Ur dissing all American soilders. Yes, I've seen civilians die and it's bad.. I cried when I

[ImpressionModZ]

@TheMini14guy It is a damn song and I am in the army and im fucking proud over me, my country and rise against when I hear this song.

[distortion041]

@TheMini14guy You claim to fight for freedom, yet when a dissenting voice rises up you say it should be burned. You say we're the ones who are making the government corrupt, and ignore the upper 0.1% on Wall Street and greedy politicians who are practically making the decisions for us. Drop the narrative you fucking hypocrite. You are so disillusioned it's just sad.

[aprilsteeles]

hes hot..

[toasterlovesmusik]

ganz ehrlich i bin auch deutsch und stehe für meinland ...Aber mein vater ist ammi was die leute in zweiten weltkrieg gemacht haben war razistisch und nicht gut aber das bedeutet ncht das jeder deutsche so ist ....

[joshwebbby]

i wish i could read the top comments -.-

[badassreble]

@joshwebbby google translate...

[sonyblack207]

@joshwebbby

google translater!

[69oo69]

@joshwebbby He said the only flag worth flying is a white one.

[BTGamingCinema]

@joshwebbby I'm reading your comment about reading top comments while its a top comment.

[MusicFreak700]

@joshwebbby the only flag which you should hoist is the white one. <-- that's the translation ;)

[kleinerPunkrocker01]

@joshwebbby

Mabye you can learn german (;

[TheSumeet36]

Great song

-It's just poetry (A great piece)

[dannebnnt]

* ihr verstanden habt. Geht mit diesen Begriffen bitte nicht zu leichtfertig um. Danke.

[dannebnnt]

mein Bruder wird zur Armee gehen, ich liebe ihn und dich werde ich es ihm nie verzeihen. Bei diesem Lied kommen mir sofort die Tränen und ich schäme mich auch nicht dafür. Es gibt nur leider zu viele Menschen die sich über solche Themen lustig machen, genauso wie über Hitler, zum Beispiel. Da sieht man wer es wirklich verstanden hat und wer einfach nur dumm ist. Und ich meine wirklich dumm. Genießt das Lied und wagt es nicht irgendjemanden als Nazi zu bezeichnen. Das zeugt nur davon, wie wenig *

[samasoku]

@dannebnnt sei nicht wütend auf die, die zur armee sehen. sei wütend auf die, die die flaggen hissen. diejenigen, die unterscheiden, nicht nachdenken... sich über andere setzen....

[dannebnnt]

@samasoku Da hast du Recht, keine Flagge außer die weiße. :)

Aber das ist falsch rübergekommen. Ich bin nicht sauer, nur unendlich traurig.. 

[samasoku]

@dannebnnt mit der dummheit der menschen finde ich mich langsam ab. lächeln und winken, bis du stirbst. mehr ist nicht drin ;)

[doctorjohn666]

I'm loving the German love here

[theBabyDead]

i don't like his singing here... he's probably too much out of breath haha

[AlmostaFlipinSkater]

"WOULD GOD BLESS A MURDER OF THE INNOCENTS? WOULD GOD BLESS A WAR BASED ON PRIDE? WOULD GOD BLESS A MONEY-HUNGRY GOVERNMENT? NO. WOULD GOD BLESS OUR INEFFECTIVE COURT SYSTEM? [WOULD] GOD BLESS THE SWEATSHOPS WE RUN? [WOULD] GOD BLESS AMERICA? NO!"- Rise Against

[Stoagriffer90]

Chiemsee Rocks war dieses Lied überragend. Selbst der Himmel weinte und alle waren danach nass.

[rkb12222]

hes not a ckrab is he ?



[lNienorl]

Die einzige Fahne die es sich zu hissen lohnt is die Weisse ...

[fanta116]

@lNienorl Nein ! Die Weiße Flagge mit dem schwarzen Herz ! 

[tomtomgs2]

++++++++

[PaulineFallOutBoy]

rise against hat in allem recht, was sie singen.

[linzo876]

Pure poetry <3

[1Inamoto]

In Ehren der gefallenen deutschen Soldaten in Afghanistan. Sie sterben für ihr Land und sie sterben als Helden

[dave59934]

@1Inamoto Ich glaub du hast irgendwas nicht verstanden.

[Stoetti90]

Bei dem Song die Fahnen zu hissen ist aber schon grenzdebil, wie dumm muss man sein um diesen Text so falsch zu interpretieren?

[yWHATTHEHELLy]

@Stoetti90

vllt hatten sie ja keine in Weiß

[Lelouche115]

@Sykotako I see what you mean the songs amazjng he just doesn't put that same feeling and emotion in it like he should. Its kinsa more fast paced

[sykotako]

I absolutely love this song, not live.. It may be just me being a little crazy but I don't feel he's singin with much emotion in this. I understand it's live but he seem into this powerful and great song here. Just my opinion, still a fantastic song

[kdawg12297]

this song is so powerful

[silistylefly]

0:59 this is the power of music :D

[PzychoShowZ]

Eine gewisse ironie steckt dahinter das es bei dem lied anfieng zu regnen selbst der himmeln weint ;D

[phantomgunex758]

War and strife brings out the worst in every person

[MisterBlinkyTheGreat]

Who cares about countries? It's still the dickheads on the ground that disrespect, humiliate and beat the captured and fallen on both fucking sides. The gov puts them in the situation, but they still know what they're fucking doing. Hero of war? Asshole who a walked around a desert and beats the weak. (in regards to this song ofc)

[KaWa736]

*__________*

[MrSTUD300]

anybody think blair kinda looks like an alian?

[ThinkRiseAction]

In dem Song liebt und vertraut der Sänger seinem Land blind. Er gehorcht ohne kritisch zu hinterfragen und ohne die Fähigkeit richtig von falsch zu unterscheiden. Er demütigt und tötet Menschen, alles gerechtfertigt durch das Vertrauen zu "seiner Flagge". Findet Ihr es da wirklich angebracht und passend eine Fahne zu schwenken?! Ich finds geschmacklos.

[ThinkRiseAction]

"Diesen Song habe ich über Leute in Amerika geschrieben, die dem Militär dienen. Aber es ist eigentlich egal in welchem Land du dem Militär dienst. In diesem Song geht es viel mehr um die Leute, die das tun müssen, was Ihre Regierung Ihnen vorschreibt, auch wenn diese Regierung Ihnen vorschreibt extremen Scheiß zu bauen, in einem illegalen Krieg, einem falschen Krieg und wie unfair es ist, was es Leuten antut und sie innerlich zerreißt. Dieser song heißt 'Hero of war'." Tim McIllrath, 2009

[peterinho1986]

Enjoy! ;)

[felipebateravicio]

EUU FUI !!! MTT FODAAAA

[NiklasFamex3]

Einfach das beste Lied der Welt ♥ *.* (:

[shelovesherpony]

in 1:25 he sings "the children they cried" and at the same moment it looks as a tear runs down his face :O

I OVE YOU TIM MCILRATH!!!

[1997Gazza]

@shelovesherpony It's not a tear though, cos you can see it's raining, but it would be cool if it was :')

[shelovesherpony]

@1997Gazza i knooow but it looks like :)

[bfmvfan4eva1]

My friend hates this band bcuz of this song. He thinks this song is making fun of the government. I said he was stupid and that this is one of the most AMAZING songs

[foch41]

@bfmvfan4eva1 ur a stupid hippie that isn't listening to the words.

[bfmvfan4eva1]

@foch41 How am I? I love this song?



[ThinkRiseAction]

During a song, in which the narrator loves and trusts his gouvernment blindly and obeys without questioning, without distinguishing right from wrong, waving a country's flag seems totally inappropriate to me

[ThinkRiseAction]

"This song I wrote about some of the people i met in America who are serving in the military. But really, it doesn't matter in what country you are serving in the military. This song is more importantly about the people who have to do what the gouvernment tells them to do, even when that gouvernment tells them to do some serious bullshit, in an illegal war, in a wrong war and how unfair that is, and what it does to people, and how it tears them apart inside."

(TimIlrath, Area4 Festival 2009)

[ZakJohnsMusic]

Hooah.

[leonisazombiepwner]

damn thts alot of people

[ripejavi]

weakened them significantly enough to prevent their foreign intrusion on American soil. Please turn on the news a few times before critiquing me.

[ripejavi]

@SlowSlowSloth ugh, kiddo, the Taliban has got their fucking hands full fighting two governments that both HATE us. The only reason we are even in this debacle is because Obama is half assing what he needs to do as president which is finding a DIFFERENT SOLUTION TO OUR NATION'S ECONOMIC PROBLEM. Not THIS one that drills what little money America CAN NO LONGER afford to spend. Besides, the terrorist's leader,Osama, was just KILLED. Even though this has only made them angrier, it has nonetheless

[halofreak1645]

Have u guys heard that disrespectful parody

[MrREEDLE]

I dont support the war, we dont need to be over there anymore. However, I support the US troops. My dads retired Marine, so Im patriotic. But we still dont need to be over there anymore.

[ibindebesde]

Gänsehaut pur :o

[kevler94]

wow wie alles still steht und jeder zuhört, unglaublich!

[ripejavi]

Pulls our troops out for fucks sake. Why the hell are we trying to save another country when we can't even save what we already have. Please, pull out.

[SlowSlowSloth]

@ripejavi Please... they CAN'T just pull them out! Are you mad? What the hell would those terrorist idiots do if someone didn't stop them? Crash some more towers?

[armorlight97]

Not a very good live singer but still pretty good

[g5lastsoul]

Rise Against es lo mejor!!

[skinzdyzinc]

english anyone

[ZanderKiller255]

@Frischkaesegurke gar nicht erst mitbringe... basta



[ZanderKiller255]

@Frischkaesegurke und warum hissen sie die flagge bei nem antikriegssong??? XD

[eminem1022]

SCHEISSDEUTSCHERS

[ThaTrollZor]

@eminem1022 Haha

[qotsajoel]

/watch?v=I7KJZzIb460 the FULL Rock am Ring Rise Against 2010 concert can be viewed there in a 1h long video

[wasisdenndesmann]

Was für eine geile Atmosphäre... sowas geht eben nur auf Festivals, dass sich mal 100000 Leute im Arm haben und sich nicht bekriegen... deswegen lieb ich es!

[neneuro]

@wasisdenndesmann eigentlich sollte die ganze welt ein riesiges festival sein wenn man das sieht

[YuraRyuYasha]

Perhaps America has the biggest army. But every country participating in a war is losing young soldiers to the fray. It doesn't matter what side of the battlefield you're on - when you fire a gun, you're taking away someone else's brother, son, or friend.

I'm not pro- or anti-war, but there's no need to fight over which army is bigger. Respect all of those who have sacrificed themselves for their country, no matter what army they were fighting for. We're all human, no matter the uniform.

[RealLy96]

Warum hisst niemand eine weiße Flagge?

[MrCourtex]

einfach nicht von dieser welt,so gut ist dieser scheiss! *thumbs up*

[XbLTryHard]

The only band that deserves a circle pit of respect!

[pbownsu]

@riseagainstisawsome Osama bin laden? No one really knows if he's dead.. We don't have real proof.. And we just went into someone elses country with out asking... What if Canada started coming over and murdering people because in their country they committed crimes? You guys are ridiculous..

[ProfMcRage]

@HomeCookedVideos

Here's the thing...Americans didn't take down the Nazis. Remember? That was WORLD War 2. It may be hard for you Americans to believe but there was actually other countries fighting in WWII. Oh ya, you guys were actually one of, if not THE last country to even join the fight in WWII. It was the Allied forces that took down the Nazis. The US was part of the allies so you HELPED defeat the nazis. Not as much as us Canadians did tho since we were there basically from day one since

[Lobito91]

@ProfMcRage Yeah, Russia was the one that made the biggest impact for the Allied Powers. Hate it when Americans claim that they had any big impact on WWII.

[FishingLiveTV]

GÄNSEHAUT! *_*

[1stNightingale]

The people waving the flag in the audience obviously missed the point of the song.

[F8Mate]

Why is this video only showing my views? o.O

[riseagainstisawsome]

and for everyone talking shit bout america we can agree america has don some pretty stupid things for money and power but the entire world wanted osama dead he had attacked other countries too not just the us and the entire world knew after 9/11 america was going to kill osama and also lets not forget about the marshall plan after wwII we had almost by ourselves given each one of you war torn counties money so your goverments didnt fall to communism

[riseagainstisawsome]

why is everyone arguing about their army? its incredibly dumb all soldiers need to come home and stay thier and worry about problems in thier own country. Switzerland has the right idea why doesnt anyone else get the point that being nuetral is the best thing in the world

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

@thelusetti Your sas learn to crap in the woods for two years. Their crowning and most challenging test is a 14 mile hike. Us seals are learning how to kill people for one year, and are in combat the other year. The sas is like boy scouts. Us seals are the real deal

[Thewiwili]

sooo *-*

[liddem123]

iv'e never seen so many people in an audience:)

[Bullyfishing32]

Fuck anybody who deamonizes our military. We just killed the guy responsible for over 2,000 dead americans on 9/11. Why is anyone against going the middle east and killing terrorists? They kill and take advantage of weaker people. War is horrible but you cant deamonize the young men defending you.

[kilgettyblade123]

what really annoys me ishow loads of peopleare saying whos army is better, the whole song is not promoting war its against it

[TheGhettoFineLaxer]

@BenGannonGuitar We didn't use no fucking sas to kill Osama. Nope, we used the US navy and we kicked ass

[thelusetti]

The SAS would of had it done alot better obviously

[Spiroze]

the bold guy is stupid and arrogant, bring back chris

[inakue]

0:40 Ohhh! I'm an angel!

[HomeCookedVideos]

@ royalking111

Yeah if were so weak how did we take out the Nazis and the Japanese? And if there's going to be a third world war, there'll prlly be no country's left, because everyone is going to nuke everyone and we would all die of the explosions or being exposed to nuclear radiation.

[1stBroly]

@HomeCookedVideos

thumb up if u think some americans were teached in history by bush. xD

[elkloso]

Wonderful song. The best part is 2:58 when the drums join. :)

[h0pEl3zZ]

i saw this life and it was a feeling that i cant descripe...

more emotion cannot be put in a song...

i love it...

and it was more than just a concert

[sorripavida]

rise against -from portugal

[galmerkado]

Such an emotional song...

I appreciate Rise Against that wrote a song about this war,and i appreciate more the crowd that gave this song it's respect and acted respectfully to the song and nobody started to Pogo.

[nici8517]

tritt risa against 2011 am rock am ring auf?

[MrJGerrie]

@xXjack4522Xx thats not funny...

[xXjack4522Xx]

@MrJGerrie I know, it was not ment to be funny at all ...
