Rise Against - State Of The Union (Live)

[MyZombieUnicorn]

not many bands are brave enough to give the finger to THE WORST president this country has ever had, i salute Rise Against as my new government

[whitechocandy]

As much as I love Rise Against's most recent music, I really wish they could come close to replicating this sort of anger from their earlier years.

[ThELaSTpuNKdRuMMErs]

@whitechocandy really? you wish that they didnt have anger? anger is raw emotion, it was gets your ass up to do somthing if your not angry your not paying attention my friend and thats from Tim Mcilrath himself. Sometimes being angry is the right thing for somthing to be angry about, exactly what this song is suppost to be about.

[whitechocandy]

@ThELaSTpuNKdRuMMErs Read what I put again. Then answer.

[Changeling1844]

Wow i rly love tim! I wish more of his songs were like this! :)

[lemonator406]

tim wasnt screaming some parts so he could let people hear what the lyrics were about to convey the message of the song.

[maxwel2543]

@lemonator406 i for one practice singing all the time and the type of scream tim was using for this song was from the throat with a gargle, which can be pretty rough on the throat, so he also has to take breaks or else he will LITURLY tare up his vocal cords and start bleeding from the inside of his neck, it happened to a friend of mine once for not doing scream right

[lemonator406]

@lemonator406  cool

[Borba73]

Obama is no better

[Castiel0006]

He says George fucking Bush?

He says that about the president of his own country.

You guys know what would happen if i did that here in my country?

People would call me trader and probably kill me.

So you all people may hate America cuz of the wars and stuff. But at least you can disagree with people without being ececuted.

[TehRebellingDuck]

@Castiel0006 Traitor not trader, not trying to be grammar nazi it was just the wrong word, and he says that about bush because bush was an idiot. He loves the country he just disagrees with the idiots in the government

[Castiel0006]

@TehRebellingDuck traitor, i did not know that :D

about the hate the country thing, here in my country, you can't think people are idiots. You just have to worship them and do what they say.

[TehRebellingDuck]

@Castiel0006 wow thats gotta suk srry bout tht

[maxwel2543]

@Castiel0006 but also castiel you should remember this, the president does not have all the power in the U.S for theirs also congress and the political parties

[qb4ever234]

wheres joe?

[jalicea1890]

@qb4ever234 He was sick

[t681012thomas]

hes right FUCK UP GEORGE BUSH

[turtlefanrecords]

if 0:15-0:18 was a loop , youd get 6 things:

1. Tim forgot to take his medication before the show. or at the time this concert took place, hes pissd cuz george bush was re-elected.

2. Brandon looks annoyed playing the same beats over and over.

3. Guy on the left is fixin his camera,

4. Its rainin random objects, or its a fan sucking at dodgeball.

5. The same guy w/camera is gettin a text from his gf and then an angery call from his mom

6. A fan with large arms is worshipin the band

[laamchops]

fuck george bush and his fucking war on nothing

[bens1325]

i love rise against and all of thier music but Tim looks really retarded at 0:12 he looks like he giving himself head

[yougumbo9]

@bens1325 AHAHAHAHAHAH THAT JUST MADE MY DAY

[tank0wnz2]

[cannabiscze]

[masterlinkx31]

@0Rise0Again They had a replacement bassist for this show, joe was sick, And Joe Has been in rise against back from when there first started, Joe and tim are the only ones who have been in since the start,

[RDSLUCKYCHARMZ7]

the same guy that has since the beggining of rise against dumbshit

[Loner4Lifeisdabest]

FUCK BUSH

[xXDFAFXx]

so what? some guys like bush some don't..apparently he doesn't like bush.....hahahaha

[Franceypants12]

@xXDFAFXx im more against bush i dont like them down there but u know wateva floats ya boat :D

[AzureFlameElk]

i hate it when cuss for the sake of cussing. it sounds unnatural and pointless.

[cartarsauce1]

he actually isnt close to being one o fht ebest screamers in the world, he's an amazing singer, but an amatuer screamer

[rvng100]

george FUKIN bush !!! YEA!!!!

[hXcmagg0t666]

are you for bush?

[rvng100]

NO, not of course! what have i sayed? maybe you misunderstanded me because of my bad english

[rvng100]

lol, misunderstood i wanted to say))

[GallowayJesse]

I prefer shaved.

[newfoundding]

who gives a shit if hes speaking at certain part, hes making a point when he speaks i rekon or it could be the fact theyve been touring for weeeks and your voice is like any instrument for instance if u play the same set of strings show after show ur not gonna get the same tone.

10/10 performance here

[19guitarman94]

where is joe in this video?

[fgcarva1]

I think thats the back up bass player

he probably couldnt make it

[thedailyV]

Ive seen these guys live 4 times ther amazing i made a video as a review of one of ther concerts. if ur a rise against fan then u will watch it

[dom1993z]

He has a lot more songs to play after that ? He doesn't want to fuck his voice up for the rest of the concert, Everyone would be pretty annoyed o.o

[droagan]

this guy is almost as good as chester for screams

lol listen to him

and stop bashing tim, one of the best screamers in the world

[kerranmuthafucka]

Listen to A Black Rose Burial.

[roarface1993]

pfff, he screamed for most of the song

[TWOCentHo]

pussy scream though, you can hear how he's just playin it off excess mucos in his throat, then swticthin back to talk, if you dont beleive me check out how much his body doesnt move, cause when you actually do the scream his CD sounds like he's doin your abs pull you down and you can't stop it.

[mcstar24]

The reason he talks is to point out certain parts of the song.. not because he doesn't want to hurt his voice. I mean that could be part but in my opinion its to point out certain parts of the song

[TWOCentHo]

aaaah i never thought of that, its a good point bro, but at least in my opinion its like a 75% chance on my original thing and 25% on yours.

[mcstar24]

Actually no. Because I watched like two other videos of this same song live..and he sang normaly on those SAME parts too.

[TWOCentHo]

yeah i guess that makes sense, but still, it could just be because he can't do those SAME parts, screaming

[bertusblorrepap]

amazing...

[skatet4life]

amazing...never had good hair cuts

[NotD34DYet]

awesome...

[bla400]
