  • Yeah this was in lord of war with nicolas cage, good movie, better song

  • @eastexanviewer1 Love that film.

  • this one

    

  • I like this cover the best out of the ones I've listened to :D Amazing :D

  • yea maby oh crap i think i forgot how to spell maby

  • @magicdisgea Maybe. xD!

  • i coulda swore i heard part of this song in a movie

  • @magicdisgea was it from ice age coz i heard part of it in the second one i think

  • @magicdisgea  Forrest Gump

  • Are you accepting of other people's interest in music or do you prefer to hate on what other people like?

  • i think both versions of this song are good

    ones more leaned to vietnam

    ones leanedto the current war now

  • This is good, but I think it loses some of it's anthemic status being sped up :/ Still brilliant though, both fantastic bands.

  • LOVE THIS

  • the original is the best.

  • They're pretty even for me, but I think Rise Against wins this one by just a little, just a little.

  • i love rise against but nothing beats the original plus this sounds like they just threw this together :/ im kinda dissapointed

  • Defend the earth! or be her enemy.

  • this remix sucks

  • @crowbarjordan123 its not a remix!! Its a cover by the best band ever!

  • I herd that a band called buffalo Springfield made a really bad cover to this

  • @TehGalacticDonut there the original song writers the on ur listening to now is the cover

  • @crowbarjordan123 he was making a joke. a bad one.

  • @TehGalacticDonut No, that's not true, they actually sing this better

  • @TehGalacticDonut You shut your mouth. You shut it right now.

  • @xlovelyfreak Someone is going to say something bad about RA at one of their concerts, and it will be the last word they ever speak =D

  • @TehGalacticDonut Buffalo Springfield made the original song, Rise Against made redo. I like both versions but I prefer this one. But thats probably me being bias :D Awesome band awesome song.

  • @RealMusicRocksLoud if bias means favoring awesomeness, then definately- your very biased

  • Dull...

  • its the slowest song of RA but the the worst... its good :)

  • Fkn Ben Stiller made my ass laugh hard every day :D

  • Eh. I'm not feeling this version. Don't really like it. :L Sorry guys.

  • i am a huuggee fan of rise against, they are my favourite band ever, but i do prefer the original

  • whether its this version or the original

    it will always remind me of the vietnam war haha

  • @3zzA93 why? because of Tropic thunder? or am I just too young to remember? because this song reminds me of the vietnam war as well, because of tropic thunder :D

  • @pongsitchingy yea tropic thunders one of the things haha

    just its been in alot of movies/tv shows that show something about the 60's/vietnam war lol

  • Wow, they did covers of all those good songs! I'm surprised.

  • @HallucinogenicFloyd Trust me, when not screaming, this is as passionate as Tim McIllrath's voice possibly can get.

  • @themightychickens hero of war is as passionate as it gets. lmao.

  • buffalo springfield's is way better

  • the first time I heard this song was in 9th grade in my AP US class XD woww :D memories, still this song is bitchin awesome

  • I like this one a smidgen more than the original (I just listened to both back to back, never hearing either before), and more importantly to me, the lyrics are broken together logically on this video compared to the lyrics version of the original.

  • this is great i like it better then the original now im not sayin that to start a fight caus im 15 and i know you hvae to respect your elders and the original is an elder so i respect it

  • @dinnerpianist You haven't posted a fucking link to whatever the hell you're talking about, smartass. Nobody knows wtf you're on about.

  • Comment removed

  • @themightychickens this is whats wrong with todays people

  • TODAY THIS IS MY SONG! I stood with a thousand against an unjust law. Let people see whats going down.

  • This is a great cover, but it's difficult to improve on the original in any way really! :D

  • Awesome cover!

  • studying for finals and listening to this song, no other song i'd rather listen to, go rise against (and buffalo springfield)

  • to hillbilly for rise against, would be better with some screaming

  • @vampireknightvk It's a cover, and Tim loves acoustic songs.

  • @vampireknightvk Learn to appreciate other genres douchebag. Go watch Twilight or something.

  • @triofanforlife learn to read, i didnt say this was a bad song, just not my taste and that i think it sounds weird for rise against, and i do appreciate other genres, but that doesnt mean i like everything i hear either

  • i really like the original this isnt anything less than great

  • what do you prefer the original buffalo springs version or the rise against version

  • @billy7377 If you ask me, I'd say this one is better. And that's a non-biased point of view.

  • @themightychickens i gotta agree that this one is better. tims voice has more character. and you can really tell that this song deeply influenced his music.

  • @billy7377 both are great

  • @billy7377 I like this version, but I like the original better.

  • @billy7377 dude led zepps version over all. thumbs on that or get the fuck out

  • @ImJustEternity im sure thats a comment you should be posting on led zepps because this clearly says in the title

    RISE AGAINST!

    not led zepps so people come here for RISE AGAINST and not led zepps

  • @billy7377 Buffalo Springfield version sounds like the true meaning of the song. This version just sounds like a cheap remake with no true meaning.

  • @billy7377 original

  • @billy7377

    I love both, but after a few listens of both...i think i prefer this one! Simply put, RA is awesome!

  • @billy7377 the original

  • stop hey whats that sound all the mamoths are in the ground : o

  • I was kind of hesitant of listening to a cover (even if RA is my favorite band), but I gotta say that I love this song.

  • tbh i think i prefer rush's cover, but i still think this is good

  • @hillbilly263 Yeah well, everything by Rush is brilliant.

  • @themightychickens Damn straight :)

  • @themightychickens .........lol

  • @themightychickens Amen to that 

  • @themightychickens Yeah, well everything by Rise Against is brilliant.

  • Comment removed

  • @themightychickens I see what you did there.

  • @BohotTheRobot Odd, 'cause I wasn't implying anything other than what I quite obviously stated.

  • @hillbilly263 I like Tom Sawyer a lot...

  • bad cover buffalo springfield is way to good for this band

  • @cherrypoppinpoptart fuck you

  • @cherrypoppinpoptart I sense a troll. Go back under the bridge!

  • @Swordsmanofthedark no i sense a virgin with terrible comebacks

  • @cherrypoppinpoptart I hope I'm a virgin seeing as how I'm 15 and I don't feel like losing my virginity like some whore.

  • @Swordsmanofthedark or its cause you have shrimp dick?

  • @cherrypoppinpoptart Or because he actually has morals, and keeps to them. Sheesh, if you're going to go out of your way to insult someone, take it somewhere else. >.<

  • @cherrypoppinpoptart Or maybe cuz I'm a girl and therefore don't have a dick. =)

  • @Swordsmanofthedark Blame your username for everyone thinking your a guy. :P "Swordsmanofthedark"

  • @HolinMoretti XDD I know, I DO blame my username. What can I say, I like swordsmen.

  • I like how Rise Against makes their own songs ( very well) and they also do covers like this. :)

  • For what its worth, this song is fuckin awesome

  • Music part- Buffalo Springfield

    Singing- Rise Against :) ---- My Opinion.

  • Is there another version of this song? or is it only theirs? cause i think i heard it by someone else, still RA rules

  • I like this version better. Tim's voice is just naturally born awesomeness!

  • @TheCmworld

    does he actually sound like this live? (from vid on here) it songs like he always has a cold..... anyways- its kinda wierd having TIm's (studio?) voice w/ the intrumental... still like RA's better

  • @playitverysmart I get what you mean. He has a cold edge to his voice. Nope, or atleast in my opinion. When I watch the live band concerts there is always something wrong (Censorship, the mike, can't hear any1 ect.).

  • So much worse that the original.

  • @shomomaru i hate u

  • Nice. :) Love them ^^

  • 19 leute wissen des lied nicht zu schätzen!!!

  • I think rise against make this song better than the original,...

    I love tims voice,...it´s incredible <3

    but I prefer theire own songs

  • rise against could make any song sound great

  • @BENTLEYtheSKATEMAN not true if they did "baby" it would stick suck

  • They made this song good.

  • The original song is the best version because it's the original of course. =)

    However, RA did okay with the voice but not really that good....>_> should of tried to follow the original...>_>

    Oh wells. Not bad. =)

  • buffalo springfiel

    ozzy osbourne

    rise against

    lol

  • no this is them

  • this is not by rise against... RA is good but this ain't them

  • @calebleabeater1 Ehm, yes it is...

    This is from their AOL undercover sessions EP.

    There's even a video of them doing it live somewhere around

    So please, keep your bullshit to yourself :)

  • @themightychickens Mhm... This song was not written by them. Lol. But Rise Against is my favorite band, and I like their version much better, but it's not theirs. Lol

  • @ilovblood Read the bloody description before commenting.

    calebleabeater1 said it wasn't Rise Against who SANG the song, nothing about writing anything.

    Also, you would seem a little less like a retard if you would stop using "lol" after every sentence.

  • @themightychickens I can't help but laugh at your naivety, you do realize I responded to the wrong comment right? I was AGREEING with you, and you go and attempt to talk trash to me, clearly you like arguing, so I'm not going to respond to anymore of your negative comments.

  • @ilovblood You replied to my name. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to read your mind and magically figure out what you meant, other than what you wrote.

  • @themightychickens Well when somebody is agreeing with what you said it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. :/

  • @themightychickens i take that a bit of offensive good sir i say lol alot out of habit D:

  • @calebleabeater1 Your right, this is Tim Mcilrath

  • @calebleabeater1 Dude, they have an actual video of them singing this wheter you like it or not, just typ in Rise Against AOL Under Cover on youtube, you can't miss it.

  • Buffalo Springfield's version is much better

  • I love the original, and I was perusing my cd's when I found this song. Just simply amazing, I love it even more than the original.

  • This is really good! I like it better than the acutal song!

  • dunno y people get pissed off when people cover... what if RA really loved this song and wanted to try it out? and not like "oh this song is popular well get popular coverin this"? go back to ur caves, haters

  • @LinkinParkFreak9 ya, and since there's like NO copies of this. i know a lot of other die hard RA fans who don't know they did this cover!

  • @64caloriesofawesome Oh really?

    I'll tell you why they made this cover.

    Tim likes this kind of music. That's why.

  • @themightychickens you realize i was agreeing with what he was saying, not saying they did it to get famous... right? i'm aware of why they covered it...

  • @64caloriesofawesome I'm sorry, I somehow saw a "who don't know why they did this cover" when I read your comment. My bad.

  • Rush did a way better cover on their "feedback" Album

    also this doesn't even come close to beating the original

  • too fast! its good but no Buffalo Springfield

  • @douglasfantana you could tell he wanted to get this song over with in the recording vid, dont know why i love this song

  • @themightychickens There are any tab for this song :'(

  • how to play this song please?

  • I think I like this cover better than the original song :]

  • i'm a die-hard rise against fan, but the original is much better. although when you cover a song that's as popular as this one, it's almost impossible to make it better.

    plus, i think most band's goal when covering is to not make it better, but to make a tribute to the original writer(s). with that said, good song, fits RA well.

  • I loooove the guitar at the ending of the song :]

  • The only people who can cover this song and get away with it is Led Zeppelin

  • I Love RA, but I am not a big fan of this cover, swing and a miss.

  • I Love RA, but I am not a big fan of this cover, swing and a miss.

  • dont ruin classics you fucks

  • this song is awsome

  • there are very few serious covers that can hold a candle to the original. while i still like the original better, i have to say, i like this version a lot too.... though it IS rise against, so i'd be surprised if it wasn't at least half-decent.

  • Love this cover (y)

  • COOLL

  • I can't remember who originally did this song?

  • @RebelManProductions My magical powers sense a troll in a nearby cave...

  • @themightychickens Who told you I was trolling?

  • @DJJBH2dot0sayG0DD4MN I don't know what you're replying to.

  • @Barock3 I was literally to also lol. But I realized you did so, so thank you good sir =] Lol

  • @RebelManProductions

    Buffalo springfield (:

  • @RebelManProductions well we know it wasnt justin bieber so thats one name we can cross off hmm whos next?

  • @RebelManProductions The Original is done by Buffalo Springfield ;)

  • @RebelManProductions buffalo springfield

  • @RebelManProductions Buffalo Springfield, For What it's Worth

  • TMC, where did you get this? As in, did you download a file? Or did you find this AOL EP somewhere?

  • @jmelbo17 I found a video here on YouTube with like 300 views and this song in it, so I just stole the audio and uploaded a video myself.

  • nice vid i love rise against honestly i think they play this song better than buffalo springfield, agree?

  • loooove <3

  • I like the rythm in this song :) you know a little at the blues way :P

    really nice :)

  • totally agree. I love how melow it is with the subject the song is about

  • such a simple song, but so much meaning
