P.O.D. - Youth of Nation (LIVE at Letterman)

[RamTerritory]

lol "how ya doin', kids?"

[bern1417]

i wasn't expecting his voice to sound that good live.I'm impressed.Plus I can't stop watching the drummer do his thing,total bad ass....I give this performance a 10 no doubt....

[TheScatman89]

this is music

[fernandaqueiroga]

Essa é a banda!!!!

[Y2JCodebreaker27]

Great lyrics!

[95AnnieAnnie95]

epic stage presence :o

[EdmundoLOL]

why is it that letterman has such awesome bands on his show but yet he always a sarcastic fucker..and doesn't want them on his show..he should be honoured to have p.o.d. to perform on his show.

[tigerwoodsisadrunk]

drummer rocks

[GamingDrummer89]

Finally a P.O.D. live video where the mix sounds decent enough.The lead vocals just need a tad more top end here.

[zAkjiiiis]

Omg , I cant even imagine how music have changed , what we have nowadays ?

Back then music was so great- Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, LP,P.O.D, Puddle of mud , Incubus, Korn, Rage against the machine , Offspring , Foo Fighters,S.O.A.D and much more. The new music generation is the biggest shit ever . Not only in heavy music industry , but also rap,hip hop, pop . It is too sad .

[lorencemeraz21]

@zAkjiiiis i know my generation of music sucks...... but at least some of these bands are still making music

[stchogolev]

@zAkjiiiis man i understand you so well... feel the same way

[theendofacircle]

I am definitely not a fan of this band but their live performance was spot on. The drums sound so big in this song, simple drumming does not always mean a boring beat. I was impressed

[harison92]

When Letterman says "they are an acclaimed rock n' roll band" it does not mean anything special...

[tyzenha]

I love love love this song

[420Guitar420]

I didn't know POD was this good live.

[MrRickardu13]

Huaaahhhhhwwww man nice job. Very, very good. I like much this band P.O.D.

[steeltown98]

marcos's guitar sound is awesome

[MindstormRecs]

This is a pretty amazing performance tbh, I know Letterman couldn't give a shit less but this was epic

[tmoondrmz]

kickass snaresound!

[1jstrickler]

all u guys bashing them 4 not being very good live have u ever performed live. they were nominated 3 time best live performance at the grammys. i've seen them live 5 times and its a great show. the piont is there doing what they love 4 a living and getting the word of GOD out there and i happen 2 know pesonally that is there #1 passion

[Zalar95]

[W0lfB4n399]

@Zalar95 Do Better :)

[geds7]

JESUS LIVES

[Klimerts]

[Zkrudriverz]

[truthstaringyouinthe]

[Strongerbet]

Buena

[PSYCHOxTHExMIME]

[toilettragedy]

werent those kids supposed to be @ skool the next day?

[af69wr]

damn thoughs backround kids with the band and the presents just blows you away! amazing messages this band carries! so much more then just about the music!

[mikeysucks182]

cool drums huh

[guitarshogun2011]

Everyone gets on youtube and just rips on the dumbest shit. Do you expect them to sound just like they do recorded? Get a fuckin life! Noone is going to sound as good recorded. Some bands just have better live talent than others. So fuckin' stop wastin peoples time bitchin' about shit that you prolly can't do anyways. You try and sing in front of people every day and then try to sound as good recorded. fuckin idiots!

[BL00D4NG31]

Cool guitar. Great performance. 10/5

[Teamsleeper]

awesome performance... never seen it before. Blessings!

[RHCP2210B]

this is fucking sick

[kafusitaupu80]

it wasnt backup it was sonny

[MrDemonskater]

2:33 - Sick solo

[Doober573]

7d7e7f no one gives a fuck who ur favorite band is we know there different captain obvious

[JGrocks18]

the kids sound the exact same in the song and he doesnt

[XxViolentByDesignxX]

Sonny doesn't really credit himself as a singer. He's an MC.

[appleman1324]

well i know people are saying like his "sore" throst and shit, but i mean give him some credit, they sound almost the same live as they do, so they do have talent and he sings nearly as good as his recordings so HAIL POD!

[pankratov08]

vatoslocos247 , I can do that beat

[ToolsnFire]

That was intentional dissonance, it worked

[futsol55]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 2:20

that sounded AWFUL!

[spadez33]

lol

[vatoslocos247]

i wanna do that drum beat

[StlyeFree]

Sonny seems to always seem worn out or out of breath during live concerts. He's gotten better, but he's still sorta struggling.

Anyone know why or if he's improving any?

[H2C91]

one things for sure he doesnt sweat as much after cutting the dreads.

[mrearlstubbs]

because.....he is getting more comfortable...maybe som breathing lessons???i thought that was a pretty good live version.alot of words to spit out when your not warmed up.lettermans P>A> sucks anyways.

[F0rrit0]

nice drums ^^ nice performance ^^

[McCizzle92]

a good live performance for a tonight show. most suck on the those. love p.o.d. :D

[dngrouscrgo]

who sings backup at 2:20 coz whoever it is there teriible

[Blinkitiboop]

i think the kids in the backup =P

[dngrouscrgo]

nah i meant the one who sings WEEEEEEEEEE ARE

the kids are only winging "we are we are, the youth of the nation"

[MUSICofHECTOR]

the lead singer if you watch you can see his mouth moving

[Roykidsego]

I honestly thought they used editing tools for the kid's voices. I learned something today.

[kevinpur]

I love to see a band with a good msg for todays youth.

[guerriere777]

je ne connaissais pas..;mais j'aime beaucoup!

le son est ecxellent!!!surtout la batterie :)

[svinballekrok]

Lmao! Letterman goes nuts on the kids @ 4:06 - they didn't answer him in the beginning of the act. Hahaha. Brilliant preformance tho. :)

[MrSimple214]

f--king cooL performance! :)

[realmofblood]

OMG I love this band I have that album it rockz!!!

[dtpod]

two thumbs up!

[pawanwwefan]

Drums awesome cool baby....

[pawancinodiablo]

WOW drum is awesome cool

[luckydhel29]

@pawancinodiablo yeha...when i get drunk the sounds get better too...MORE BEER!!! yea

[bigballz1825]

@pawancinodiablo COOL!?! YPU SHOULD BE SLAPED.THEY ARE AMAZING

[MudTide1993]

@bigballz1825 i wonder what it feels like to be slaped. i mean, I've been slapped before, but getting slaped...damn.

[joseenriquelopez]

we are we are. youth of the nation  buenisima rola, vientos carnal

[XxBrOoKlYnKiDxX]

love the drum line in the beginning

[ELMATON53]

more deftones wannabes

[likekickingjesus]

lol what?

this song really doesn't sound like deftones...at all...

MAYBE the drums do..

[urameshiiiii]

You're fucking retarded aren't you? P.O.D started in 92 my friend! Deftones may have started first than this band but that doesn't mean they copied their style...

[7d7e7f7]

Deftones is like my favorite band, they are completely different.

[catluver6]

he sings ok live in this song

[evilmexicandrummer]

i think his voice has gotten worse over the years..probably screamin too much or maybe a wrong way

[markhammond15]

hmmm... not convinced...  there seems to be altogether too much talk about 'gat's' and so forth... coming from England, I only know about petticoats and fisticuffs....

[ratmachine87]

awesome drums.

[ratmachine87]

awesome! words can't express, love it so much.

[Fearthe9staysic]

drum beat sounds like shoots and ladders

[sinate6669]

the guitars are haunting too at the start lol

[SouthernNOISE1894]

very good live band, lead singer very energetic which tends to make good shows and performances. Although my only issue i think he gets a little too into it and gets tired thats why he always ends up kinda raspy at the end but overall i give them a good 4.5 starts and personally one of my favorite songs

[SkylinexBleedsxRed]

This is a great song. Very haunting.

[schawutte]

respect to the kids

[suhaili]

no what happened to p.o.d folks?

[KingRodriques]

i think he isnt that bad but he is better as singer live! ;)

[JDinop]

these guys are amazing...i saw them supporting disturbed in Melbourne Australia (along with Alter Bridge :-D) but this song was just the best

[aydooknow]

i'm surprised the drummers drumming didn't scare the kids!!!

[aydooknow]

letterman has not changed one bit hahaha...POD RULES!

[lalrang2002]

The only rock band that could make a cool song & be this touching! GREAT!:)))

[Inusgrl411]

Go Brooklyn Youth Chorus! :D

[tacibals]

back then they were kicking and awesome, now they are soft and terrible unindependent. They are like puppets and their label is playing with them and telling them what music to make

[calamidadsinfin]

creo ke no sabes un huevo!!! ellos hacen lo ke kieren hacer no lo ke los demas (incluyendonos) keremos ke pod haga! los discos ke siguieron a satellite son tan buenos como los anteriores!! abri un poco la cabeza y escucha un poco de musica

[VR1991]

that couldnt be more wrong. they let theyre previous record company because of that reason ahah....dick

[cyril0130]

this is so fucking cool... lav it...

[crackerproductions08]

P.O.D. (PAYABLE ON DEATH) no need for the language

[Shenmueproject]

no, who are those other bands. never heard of them...

[xxxhitman1xxx]

killer drumz beat

[uncagado]

this is awesome

[eshghemanito]

luv his dancing

[illium1865]

Shut up. He is awesome.

[dirako]

I like POD!! Sattelite was an incredible album....I never really followed much of what they did after that, or when Marcos left. But, they're from my home town, so I keep tabs on em!! They hold their own with their integrity in tact!!

[nazoilin]

great sonng

[bulletproofman323]

DUDE no he does not!?!?!

[dazbizkit]

they'll do anything to avoid having to sing. every live show ive watched he doesnt sing a single line, and for the bassist, cant sing a note in tune.

[Alexej112]

love P.O.D. love this song<33 and they are awsome live!!!

[nanesud]

excellent live performance

[Slipmaggot9119]

P.O.D is a great live band

[Jazy808]

this is great!

[jeezeducez]

epic

[Kiddowesth]

Amazing . really good .

[Neddyson]

OHH yeah!!!! :P:P Sonny(L)

[korn8706]

one reason for why P.O.D isnt still around, sonny, although his performance is decent here, he's only good in studio after all the effects are put in to help but live without it he honestly sucks, and i actually like P.O.D but have to admit the truth

[thisiswhoihappentobe]

pod are still around, they just released an album last year i believe. its called when angels and serpents dance.

[jester026]

sonny might not be the best vocalist, but he's got the writing skills to back him up. He's fluent with what he speaks, and can hold out an energetic show on stage with his band mates. Unlike the majority of the really boring live performances of lead singers from other bands. Btw, I didn't give you a thumbs down.

[RuneRanging001]

This song is already dope as it is, with the little kids' vocals that was just like the little cherry on top.

P.S. The drummer was awesome! :D

- Ranger

[chitoz666]

this shit sound's tight wit the kids vocals in the background...

[eshghemanito]

love sonny♥

[mariogamecrazy]

all the great bands are from SAN DIEGO!!!

[viruspunk102]

nevermind they did at the end

[viruspunk102]

at least put spotlight on the damn kids

[dweb08]

they do towards the end

[TheWalkingweaponDD7]

Wuv started drumming like he was pissed. LOL

[Gonamez]

Wow POD rocks!

[zeroflips]

Hell yea Dude

[poopel4newgrounds]

[TheNamesJER]

[sjz88]

too much fucking christianity in it...

[7p7h7]

100% jesus

[colbypizza20]

jesus rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[donutcookiepie]

Letterman could take a clue from these guys and try to escape his worthless and Godless life.

POD rox!!!!!!!!!

JC is the way.

[donutcookiepie]

tight!!!!

[bloodwolf98700]

i love this song so much this is my ring tone on my fone

[madryan]

zach de la roach wannabe

[Fm7th]

Just because they're christian doesn't mean they play christian rock.

[pod123abc123]

the best thing is that they are a Christian Band and they are awesome!!!!

[RnFall]

I'm not a huge POD fan but i must say that was pretty dope.

[skylight619jam]

the drummer is goooDDD!!

[zjtbaseballman]

i no they all sound perfact

[ashketchum4321]

kick ass

[Skydivingkittens]

I love Christian Rock!

[deathninja16]

it's not christian dude it's progressive rap.

[PASCUALVAILON]

esas rolas son las chidas

[minorkatminor]

I'v always loved this Jam! I worked with a 26 year old guy back in 2001 and he didnt like this song cause he told me he couldn't relate to it because he was no longer the Youth of the Nation. 2001 was almost eight years ago, time goes faster the older you get

[coolbrazilianboy]

Dude... in 2001, I was 13 and i moved to USA... and its like.. I look back and i remenber details of my things when i was 12, and n stuff.. if i look the dates.. its in the same decade, but if i look at the mirror, I look way diff, and seems that time fly away like a wind bro..

Weird feeling u pointed there!

[vayne92]

pretty shit

[WIldFire979]

such powerful lyrics!

[Unmauricio]

Awesome man!!!!!!! this song is awesome!!!

Awesome Nu Metal Band

[godsmackrocks12]

omg the chorus is so amazing i wish i was their!

[joshuag94]

wow. imagine how much money it must have cost to get all those mics for those kids. those Shure sm 58's are like $100 each.
