Good advice for anyone whose never been outside of the usa, or even their state. I'd suggest spending a month living in another country. I did and it opened up my eyes alot
My dad has been trying to become a citizen ever since he was 18 he’s 54 now. No criminal récords, thousands of dollars paid but if you say it’s simple then its simple lol
@@towhomthismyconcern It depends on the state you live in and the country you come from because of quotas. I grew up in "a refugee camp" area in the states, i'm american but most of the people in the area were bosnian, croatian, burmese, or mexican. You see bosnians and croats getting there citizenship in a few years, and people from mexico or burma taking way longer. (immigrant status vs refugee status) Even some western countries, a friend of mines mom is dutch and she lived in the states for around 25 years before she got her citizenship. It's a numbers game, and it is honestly bullshit, especially when it comes to renewing visas.
I think there’s a difference between simplicity and ease; it’s simple enough in practice to follow a recipe and make a soufflé...but I still fucked it up everytime I tried. 🤣 On paper, the process is quite simple; in practice, it’s not at all an easy process to get through.
From the way i see it, they are showing in the video that everything that says american made in big bix stores, actually is made and comes from 3rd world countries. Showing that the greatness of this country comes at the price of other countries struggling
The reason for why he doesn't get it is because he cannot see what goes on beyond what is in the U.S. This have been going on since the U.S. became a country in the first place. I hope the guy that made the video reads this comments and realizes the true meaning of the song and the video
that is exactly what they are showing! people struggle to make products we cant live without in the third world! we literally have no idea where the shit we buy, food clothes tech just anything come from! he wasnt quite smart enough to notice and like all his videos lyrics dont matter he just pretends to like them
haha exactly. This dude is so wrong with his analysis. Rise Against would not agree with him on ANYTHING. They are very left wing and outspoken on issues of inequality.
This song isn’t about immigrants here in America and it isn’t about handouts. Instead it’s about the effects of US imperialism and the effects of American corporations on people in other countries. The refugees the song is highlighting aren’t immigrants in American but in their respective countries. The lyrics literally say “don’t hold me up now” and “I don’t need your help now”. The refugees want the US and it’s corporate imperialism to leave their nations and leave them alone.
It is easy. The hard part is the waiting list is ENORMOUS and they can only accept about 1 million a year. Any more and the country would collapse econimcally. There is a video of a guy doing a presentation on this using jars of jelly beans. Very informative.
7:15 That face is priceless after all he says in the video. You sit in a throne of gold compared to most people and you dont realize how privileged you are man.
This is about the struggles that people go through everyday outside America, for some of us it's not easy. I come from an immigrant family, and even though I am a U.S. citizen, if my family didn't cross the border and would of waited for the legal citizen I would of been an orphan for the last 6-7 years. So it's not that we don't want to go through the legal process but is more like it is against us because for a Latinx person or any person of color to come is 100 times harder than for a white person to immigrate through the system. Even after being a citizen or resident the system is still against us just for our color, there have been cases where U.S. citizens have been deported just because of their skin color; an example is the bracero program where the U.S. wanted Mexican people to work during war and when it was over they kicked them out even though they promise they could stay there. The battle between Mexico and US took all Mexican land from the northwest and force the people currently living there out of their homes for being Mexican. So you tell me do you think is easy saying that we want to come legally when in our countries we risk our lives everyday just for going through it again and again and if we wait we might not even get the chance to apply, that is how I lost my dad, a week before receiving his visa he got killed by the gangs. So tell me was it worth it waiting when I know my baby brother and dad don't have a dad for the last 5 years just because he decided to wait for the legal system that until this day is harming more people than the one is helping
you have to react to this songs with Rise against: Give it all hero of war blood to bleed to them the streets belong injection under the knife worth dying for behind closed doors
Wow. Not a single song listed off of their two best albums. Their first two albums were by far their best, before the "made it". Black Masks & Gasoline is amazing off of Revolutions per Minute. Also, Everchanging off their first album. Anyway, I guess my point is to listen to their early work, it's much better.
This is one of my favorite bands of all time. This was the first song I found from them, and instantly fell in love with them. I've got a list of songs for you to check out that are some of my favorites Savior Survive Swing Life Away Make it Stop (September's Children)-This will make you cry be warned Satellite The Violence Enjoy them to the fullest
Im not sure if you got what the song and video was about. The video is showing how everyday products are made in far away places through child labour and paying workers low wages and bad conditions.
Gotta say, looking at the banners behind you, I don't know if Rise Against is for you. Punk is inherently political and Rise Against sing and stand against everything that banner behind you does. It is also worth noting that immigration is not easy. People spend years and a vast amount of money trying to immigrate legally. Not to say illegal immigration is the answer, but rather that saying it's "easy" lacks a degree of empathy. Finally the idea of "just work hard" is flawed when you take into account systemic discrimination that is rampant in this country. Sure you may made it from a tough upbringing but that doesn't mean everyone can. Again, that thought process lacks empathy. Do better.
I was hoping someone said this. I know the guys in Rise Against personally and they definitely would not be okay with the signs behind him. They are one of the most anti-Trump and anti-establishment bands you will ever find. I love every single one of them and their passion for their music and message is amazing. So yeah.. he needs move on.
Punk is for anyone. It has no boundaries, it’s to stand for what you believe in regardless of what other people think. So your comment is straight up wrong.
@@kingexclusivo punk is for anyone but it's not for fascist. Rise Against and punk rock in general are anti fascist, anti authoritarian, and more importantly pro-humanity. Rise Against in general would hate this guy using their message for his shit understanding of humanity.
"Tony Petrossian, the director of the music video, originally thought to write a video treatment about a refugee trying to enter the United States, but knew that the band was going to receive several treatments with the same idea. Instead, he decided to portray the plight of the refugee from a different angle. The band members unanimously agreed upon Petrossian's treatment. The video deals various themes, including consumerism, fair trade, and sweatshops, and attempts showcase how conventional business models allow for various human rights violations." Rise Against is heavy on the social commentary in their songs. A good example of that is the song Make It Stop (September's Children)
@@oppdropper1312 not every Trump supporter is like that, so please stop spreading the hate you seem to dislike so much. Before you ask, I'm not supporter of Trump but I know good people who are. Hes not saying deport and get rid of the immigrants, he's saying go through the steps for it. The actual process is not easy but not that hard either. Its just a long process that takes absolutely forever to finish up. He could have phrased it better but hes also trying to get us the video out. He understood a good bit of the video even if he kissed a few doesn't make him blind. Songs by Rise Against can be missed easily if you don't pay 100 percent attention. Either way plesee for the love of all stop spreading more hate for all.
My step father came here illegally when he was a teenager from Mexico. He built a life with my mother who he met in his early twenties. Spent 30 years here, working hard and raising my 3 siblings. 15 years ago he went to apply for citizenship and they deported him. I haven't seen him since. And he's never met my daughter. She's now 12yrs old. Spare me the "it's easy" crap.
It’s not simple man. I have friends that took 8 years to get any kind of status in the US. Friends that left everything behind for a better life and instead found a system laden with red tape. In one case I had to write a letter to the consulate on behalf of them. It’s not a simple system to navigate and it’s getting worse. That needs more awareness.
Can never please em all bro. All good though, we still show up day after day and drop littie infinity tittie content! I appreciate you and everyone else's support!
There's a difference between a helping hand and a hand out. Unfortunately, some people don't see the difference and will shame someone if they get a little helping hand when they need it. I don't care who you are, where you come from, or how much money you have, everyone needs a helping hand at least once. Remember that a helping hand doesn't have to just be money. It can be someone watching your kids for an hour so you can go to that interview, letting your dog out so you can work those extra hours, or even holding open a door for you.
I cannot get my head around the idea of Americans thinking their country is the best in the world when it is literally tearing itself apart and is statistically one of the least democratic systems in the developed world. love your videos but was just amazed at how you view the world. Should really go travelling or look into other cultures before taking what is essentially American propaganda as gospel
another solid choice, GIBBZ!🤘🔥🍻 too many songs to list, but another discography to dive into 🙌 Rise Against & Rage Against the Machine couldn't be more appropriate to our given state ✊
Hey Devin, I just started watching you in 2024 and love your videos so I’ve come to the bottom of your videos to not miss any of your important views and see how you have progressed since your first video post. I will keep up on the current content in 2024 while still gleaning from your previous posts. #1 fan here
If we are talking about Rise Against, almost all their songs are bangers and have a message, leave a list of my favorite singles: Ready to fall. Help is on the way. Give it all. Swing life Away. People live here. Satellite. Re-education. Audience of One.
Rise Against is probably my favorite group, so many great songs! Some of their other great songs are Savior, Injection, Behind Closed Doors, This Is Letting Go, September's Children, House on Fire, and Miracle (from ghost note symphonies), but you could pick any of their songs because all their music is incredible!
But not everyone has the same possibilities and conditions ... Someone can work hard all their lives and still have nothing .There are so many different layers of wealth and poverty in this world. And yet, for these people, mostly little things are enough. To make them feel rich. Even such little things that other people take for granted.
Hell yea one of my favorite band. I love this as mount of energy. Developed by this band and deep meaningful lyrics touching a lot of aspects. Great male unique voice(btw he and shaun Morgan from seether)These are my favorite vocalist all the time. This is manifestation of perfection. I also recomended satellite and re-education(aspecially uncesored one) by them both songs are insane
You should really take a look at the comments of the people in these comments who struggle and continue to struggle to become documented in this country. You are unequivocally wrong in your thought that it’s easy to be in this country or to just do what you want out of perseverance.
Gibby, when it comes to Rise Against it is really more of a issue of "Which Album" rather than "Which song". My recommendation would be to pick an album. I'm a fan of either Wolves or Sufferer and the Witness (which is where Prayer Of The Refugee comes from) as starter albums (after you've heard the originals then move on to Ghost Note Symphonies). Individual songs are great samplers but the albums are where its at. Prayer of the Refugee is a good introduction, it wasn't mine, like you I first heard Prayer of the Refugee in a game (Guitar Hero III) my first Rise Against song was Heaven Knows. Due to the prolific and long lived nature of Rise Against it is hard to pick individual songs because each album has some seriously hard hitting songs. Indeed my favorite song on Sufferer and the Witness isn't even Prayer of the Refugee but Drones. However if pressed for songs that I would insist on folks whetting their appetite with it would be: Drones Hero of War Satellite Wolves House on Fire Swing Life Away Heaven Knows I chose these specifically as a primer, not because of their popularity. If you're looking for what's popular, well there's plenty of folks giving you options other than me. Seems everyone wants you to do September's Children (Make it Stop), Savior, or Re-education (Through Labor). Good songs and good messages, but frankly overplayed in my opinion (kind of glad you used Prayer of the Refugee as your first) These would be a good primer to give an idea (although not a complete sampling) of the range they are capable of. Bearing in mind of course then you get to the Ghost Note Symphonies which are acoustic variants which are amazing in their own right.
You are SOOOOOO wrong! This is about big corporations shipping jobs out to other countries. Rise Against is VERY anti Trump. I love this band and their political beliefs. Open your eyes
D-Gibby sometimes it’s not that easy for people to become a us citizen let alone even get a visa so the only option they have is to come here illegally now there are people who come here and become criminals but most people just come out of necessity
This fool doesn't know anything about immigration outside of what he watches on Fox News. He's never had friends or family experience the pain and suffering it causes.
Rise Against was the first concert I ever saw, '06 (I think) in Victoria, Canada. I didn't listen to much harder music at the time but they were a pretty great gateway, truly fantastic band.
The game that this was on was Guitar Hero 3. I remember because this is the song/band that introduced me into rock music and Ive been in love with it ever since
Looked like you got a little bit of a gut check in the last clip of the music video. I'd encourage you to listen to more Rise Against songs. Their lyrics are incredible, and their videos always hit hard like that. I recommend Ready to Fall, Re-Education (Through Labor), Hero of War, The Good Left Undone, and Swing Life Away.
Shout out to the immigrants yall are the backbone of this country working harder than a motherfucker and doing the kind of necessary, hard, jobs that others think they're too good for.
Gibby, all is fine but don’t get too political... and that bs about #1 nation in the world - come on man, don’t feed your audience that shish... every nation considers themselves to be the best. Who the hell cares who’s the best, just be kind to each other... with all the madness going on in the world right now, the last thing we need is to say things like that. Other than that - nice reaction, fire song and an amazing band.
D-GiBBY damn, didn’t expect an answer but I am actually glad u did answer. U r a humble man, I can appreciate that. Most of the content creators let fame go into their heads and start behaving, well, not in the best way. Keep up the good work brotha!
The song is more about how our capitalist society is destroying these third world countries and the wage gap I used to work for Nordstroms, the cost for making the clothes and the amount we were paid doesn't add up to how much we sold the products for which means someone is getting shortchanged. Imagine working twice as long but only get a few dollars or cents a day for it just so we don't have to pay as much or some some billionaire can have even more money.
Hard to chose a bad song from them. I think I've already seen them suggested but I would say "Hero of War" and "Make it Stop (September's Children)" may be the most challenging to your (admittingly assumed) politics and beliefs. I think their official videos are pretty straight forward but in "Hero of War" especially, I would suggested paying close to the lyrics and the change in the 3rd verse. And keep in mind the song was written after they received variations of the same letter from veterans. Got to see them years ago when they headlined with Bad Religion playing before them. Greg Gaffin made sure to thank them for taking them out on tour in a way helping them out the same way they helped Rise Against. They had also tried to get a spot with another band that they opened years ago. I don't remember exactly how they worded it, but they seemed more interested in their Broadway show than talking to a band that helped them when they were coming up.
Yo Gibby, love your mindset man, i am also trying to get closer to your mindset as i do believe it is the right way. I do believe that hard-work, dedication and passion is the way to go, and im not religious i do know you are and i won't judge someone based on their race, skin color or religion choice. You are either a good person or a bad one. Love every single one of yall people out there man, stay safe
Only just discovered your videos, absolutely love your positive energy. Found you through PWD reactions, and just found this, I'm a massive Rise Against fan, do more RA, please!
This song in particular was on Guitar Hero 3, I believe. One of my favorite songs of theirs. I recommend The Good Left Undone, if you haven’t already seen it.
I have gotten more motivation & self-worth through D-Gibby than I have from anyone in my 21 years on this earth. Thank you so (and I apologize) so god damn much bro you're the G.O.A.T. we need more people like you out here.
Bro I love the song and your reaction however I disagree when you say that America or "The United States" is the best country. Honestly with all this situation that is going on right now in the USA , I think the situation can be managed in a better way, but people are not putting their effort, as everything there is a lot of racism throughout the world but sometimes the USA goes to different levels , I like your videos dude , but I do not agree with your opinion! hope you do well! good vibes!
Which country is better? I'm curious. Because I've traveled the world, and if you ever saw how people lived in other parts of the world you'd stop pretending your little entitled life in America is so tough. We are the best country in the world, bar none. No offense, but you look like you're about 12, please attain some life experience before shitting on the fabric of the country you're so privileged to live in.
WE TH3 PEOPLE ok bro, look! I’m not 12 hahaha , I’m from Costa Rica, Have you ever been here? There no better or worse countries. We all go thru some shit. But there are people who indeed think that they are better than others just because they’re from the United States (this is the correct name for your country) America is actually the whole continent , I can say I’m American since Costa Rica is located in the same continent. I don’t sincerely agree that the USA is the best country , you know there’s lots of racists , lots of murders , I ain’t agree with that. People die every minute in different countries , tell me one single country that doesn’t face murders! , yeah exactly None. So there’s no BEST COUNTRY. Please you’re more than welcome to come to Costa Rica and check it out.
@@weth3people137 "People have it worse (subjectively) so you're not allowed to think America is trash" Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo European countries shit all over us too and we deserve it We don't even have healthcare LOL
Chicago's The Smashing Pumpkins should be on your radar. Such an important rock band. You should start with their song Cherub Rock. It's their first song on their 1993 masterpiece album Siamese Dream. This Album is still my favorite today. Have a nice day!!?
Rise Against is all positive message. Love me some Rise Against, 1 of very few select bands I have yet to see LIVE! Thrice reaction when you have time, another band you will enjoy and criminally underrated! I know you are ranting and are positively doing so. I'd disagree...you are clearly financially stable I would say you owe infants/children medically challenged and fragile a donation to their hospitals. I wish I could be a heart surgeon...its far too late and I wasn't blessed with such gifts. 💯🇺🇸
the rants really are ironic when looking at the stuff that rise against does. the sentence "I dont owe nobody nothing" is nonsense. we all owe other people a great debt. People we never met don't even know exist we owe each other a debt because without each other this world would be even more chaotic and unjust. America isnt the greatest country either I grew up aspiring as a kid to be american thanks to movies and cartoons and as I aged I realised that any country that states its the best never will be. To be the best country you have to make other countries betters and set an example without EGO and America doesn't do any of that. should listen to Anti Flag album 2020 Vision (Song Hate Conquers all) sums up the problems with america perfectly and the rest of the world to be honest I dont hate america dont hate any country to hate a country is to hate diversity
Going through the right steps takes 20 years, that's how long it will take for my sponsorship from my sister who was born in the USA to take effect, I will be an old man by then, I could be giving the best years of my life to the USA lol
I recommend Make It stop (Septembers Children) that has to be one of their most powerful songs and one of my personal favorites i've been a fan of Rise Against for over 14 years now and i've seen them live 50 times. I strongly recommend Make it Stop.
Bro, you should know that coming to the border, to ask for asylum, is the right legal way to ask for it recognized by internation laws. An asylum seeker is someone who can't go through a regular economic immigrations process, such a green card, but his request isn't less legal thought. And remember the words engraved at the feet of the statue of Liberty, by Emma Lazarus : Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! If those words aren't what the America means anymore, maybe the statue of liberty should be returned to France.
So many great songs to choose from when it comes to Rise Against. Hero Of War, Saviour, September’s Children, Swing Life Away, Re-Education Through Labour. Just anything by them will be great.
This is by far my favorite reaction to this song out there, The way he was talking through all the video just to being Jaw dropped with the ending was priceless LOL
What is this instrumental at the beginning of this video while he's talking? The same instrumental plays during all of his videos and it's fire af. Please help.
It's always awesome to come across a song that you don't recognize at first, then as soon as the chorus kicks in you're like, "HOLY SHIT IT'S T H I S SONG?" Happened to me with Before I Forget, I played it on Guitar Hero a lot, I randomly come across it at a time I really hated SlipKnot, gave it a chance and as soon as that chorus kicked in, I threw my hands up in the air in pure confusion, I'm like "H U H?" Needless to say, I got a SlipKnot tattoo and they're my favorite band, so my opinion of them has definitely changed.
With the utmost urgency ..Please react to "DOA" by I Prevail ft Joyner Lucas .. to say it is relevant right now is an understatement & I feel everyone should see the video & hear the lyrics. Joyner hoppin on a rock track... you know its gotta be amazing. Most importantly, it is our world right now summed up in a 4 minute music video.
Home of the free hahaha who would wanna come to America. The system over there is the laughing stock of the planet. Come here to Australia we are much better.
If you start doing rise against on the regular youll get all my views for sure check out songs like SURVIVE, BLOOD TO BLEED, Blood red white and blue, just to start you off Tim has a god tier scream
if you can, you need to travel outside of the U.S. man.
This loser will never leave.
Good advice for anyone whose never been outside of the usa, or even their state. I'd suggest spending a month living in another country. I did and it opened up my eyes alot

Rise Against exposes the horrible injustice in the world. I'm conservative Republican and they have been my favorite band for well over a decade
This is about the struggles that people go through everyday outside America, for some of us it's not easy. I come from an immigrant family, and even though I am a U.S. citizen, if my family didn't cross the border and would of waited for the legal citizen I would of been an orphan for the last 6-7 years. So it's not that we don't want to go through the legal process but is more like it is against us because for a Latinx person or any person of color to come is 100 times harder than for a white person to immigrate through the system.

So tell me was it worth it waiting when I know my baby brother and dad don't have a dad for the last 5 years just because he decided to wait for the legal system that until this day is harming more people than the one is helping
I recommend Re-Education (through labor) by Rise Against.
Fuck yes.
Yesssssssssssss
Ready to fall as well
I agree
Also blood to bleed
Rise against has SO many good songs. You have to dive way deeper into their catalog! They have a "plethora " of powerful message bangers
Blood-Red White & Blue, Collapse, Kotov Syndrome, to name a few
Agreed. "I Don't Wanna Be Here Anymore", "Help is on the way", "Good Left Undone" and many more
Hero of War

Give it all
hero of war
blood to bleed
to them the streets belong
injection
under the knife
worth dying for
behind closed doors
(Re) Education through Labor

Gotta say, looking at the banners behind you, I don't know if Rise Against is for you. Punk is inherently political and Rise Against sing and stand against everything that banner behind you does. It is also worth noting that immigration is not easy. People spend years and a vast amount of money trying to immigrate legally. Not to say illegal immigration is the answer, but rather that saying it's "easy" lacks a degree of empathy. Finally the idea of "just work hard" is flawed when you take into account systemic discrimination that is rampant in this country. Sure you may made it from a tough upbringing but that doesn't mean everyone can. Again, that thought process lacks empathy. Do better.
Couldn't have put into words better myself.
I was hoping someone said this. I know the guys in Rise Against personally and they definitely would not be okay with the signs behind him. They are one of the most anti-Trump and anti-establishment bands you will ever find. I love every single one of them and their passion for their music and message is amazing. So yeah.. he needs move on.
Maybe if he listens to "How Many Walls"... nah, he probably woudn't get it.
Punk is for anyone. It has no boundaries, it’s to stand for what you believe in regardless of what other people think. So your comment is straight up wrong.
@@kingexclusivo punk is for anyone but it's not for fascist. Rise Against and punk rock in general are anti fascist, anti authoritarian, and more importantly pro-humanity. Rise Against in general would hate this guy using their message for his shit understanding of humanity.
"Tony Petrossian, the director of the music video, originally thought to write a video treatment about a refugee trying to enter the United States, but knew that the band was going to receive several treatments with the same idea. Instead, he decided to portray the plight of the refugee from a different angle. The band members unanimously agreed upon Petrossian's treatment. The video deals various themes, including consumerism, fair trade, and sweatshops, and attempts showcase how conventional business models allow for various human rights violations."
Rise Against is heavy on the social commentary in their songs. A good example of that is the song Make It Stop (September's Children)
You sound blindly patriotic...and your face at the end when they placed made in the USA stickers on everything seemed to wake you up for a second
Because he is, dude's brainwashed
He didnt get the song message at all. Sad.
this dude has trump banners in his room, of course he's blind to the real shit.
@@oppdropper1312 not every Trump supporter is like that, so please stop spreading the hate you seem to dislike so much. Before you ask, I'm not supporter of Trump but I know good people who are. Hes not saying deport and get rid of the immigrants, he's saying go through the steps for it. The actual process is not easy but not that hard either. Its just a long process that takes absolutely forever to finish up. He could have phrased it better but hes also trying to get us the video out. He understood a good bit of the video even if he kissed a few doesn't make him blind. Songs by Rise Against can be missed easily if you don't pay 100 percent attention. Either way plesee for the love of all stop spreading more hate for all.
He’s a Trump supporter idk what you expected
My step father came here illegally when he was a teenager from Mexico. He built a life with my mother who he met in his early twenties. Spent 30 years here, working hard and raising my 3 siblings. 15 years ago he went to apply for citizenship and they deported him. I haven't seen him since. And he's never met my daughter. She's now 12yrs old. Spare me the "it's easy" crap.
focus on your first part..came here illegally!!!!!!!!!!!!! a crime
One of my favorite songs by them is Hero of War. I feel you would love that song. Its one of those songs that touch me the most.
It’s not simple man. I have friends that took 8 years to get any kind of status in the US. Friends that left everything behind for a better life and instead found a system laden with red tape. In one case I had to write a letter to the consulate on behalf of them. It’s not a simple system to navigate and it’s getting worse. That needs more awareness.
how is there already a dislike the video ain't even out yet, some people man...
Can never please em all bro. All good though, we still show up day after day and drop littie infinity tittie content! I appreciate you and everyone else's support!
“Ready to Fall” by Rise Against
There's a difference between a helping hand and a hand out. Unfortunately, some people don't see the difference and will shame someone if they get a little helping hand when they need it. I don't care who you are, where you come from, or how much money you have, everyone needs a helping hand at least once. Remember that a helping hand doesn't have to just be money. It can be someone watching your kids for an hour so you can go to that interview, letting your dog out so you can work those extra hours, or even holding open a door for you.
Oh yeah, such a great freaking Song, lyrically and also from just a sheer power standpoint. Some more Billy Talent would also be nice
I can see why people suggested this song for you.
Did you listen to any of the words?
Rise Against - Make It Stop (Septembers Children)
I cannot get my head around the idea of Americans thinking their country is the best in the world when it is literally tearing itself apart and is statistically one of the least democratic systems in the developed world. love your videos but was just amazed at how you view the world. Should really go travelling or look into other cultures before taking what is essentially American propaganda as gospel
another solid choice, GIBBZ!🤘🔥🍻
too many songs to list, but another discography to dive into 🙌
Rise Against & Rage Against the Machine couldn't be more appropriate to our given state ✊
Hey Devin, I just started watching you in 2024 and love your videos so I’ve come to the bottom of your videos to not miss any of your important views and see how you have progressed since your first video post. I will keep up on the current content in 2024 while still gleaning from your previous posts. #1 fan here
If we are talking about Rise Against, almost all their songs are bangers and have a message, leave a list of my favorite singles:
Ready to fall.
Help is on the way.
Give it all.
Swing life Away.
People live here.
Satellite.
Re-education.
Audience of One.
Rise Against is probably my favorite group, so many great songs! Some of their other great songs are Savior, Injection, Behind Closed Doors, This Is Letting Go, September's Children, House on Fire, and Miracle (from ghost note symphonies), but you could pick any of their songs because all their music is incredible!
But not everyone has the same possibilities and conditions ...
Someone can work hard all their lives and still have nothing .There are so many different layers of wealth and poverty in this world.
And yet, for these people, mostly little things are enough. To make them feel rich.
Even such little things that other people take for granted.
Hell yea one of my favorite band. I love this as mount of energy. Developed by this band and deep meaningful lyrics touching a lot of aspects. Great male unique voice(btw he and shaun Morgan from seether)These are my favorite vocalist all the time. This is manifestation of perfection. I also recomended satellite and re-education(aspecially uncesored one) by them both songs are insane
You should really take a look at the comments of the people in these comments who struggle and continue to struggle to become documented in this country. You are unequivocally wrong in your thought that it’s easy to be in this country or to just do what you want out of perseverance.
Gibby, when it comes to Rise Against it is really more of a issue of "Which Album" rather than "Which song". My recommendation would be to pick an album. I'm a fan of either Wolves or Sufferer and the Witness (which is where Prayer Of The Refugee comes from) as starter albums (after you've heard the originals then move on to Ghost Note Symphonies). Individual songs are great samplers but the albums are where its at. Prayer of the Refugee is a good introduction, it wasn't mine, like you I first heard Prayer of the Refugee in a game (Guitar Hero III) my first Rise Against song was Heaven Knows.
Due to the prolific and long lived nature of Rise Against it is hard to pick individual songs because each album has some seriously hard hitting songs. Indeed my favorite song on Sufferer and the Witness isn't even Prayer of the Refugee but Drones. However if pressed for songs that I would insist on folks whetting their appetite with it would be:
Drones
Hero of War
Satellite
Wolves
House on Fire
Swing Life Away
Heaven Knows
I chose these specifically as a primer, not because of their popularity. If you're looking for what's popular, well there's plenty of folks giving you options other than me. Seems everyone wants you to do September's Children (Make it Stop), Savior, or Re-education (Through Labor). Good songs and good messages, but frankly overplayed in my opinion (kind of glad you used Prayer of the Refugee as your first)
These would be a good primer to give an idea (although not a complete sampling) of the range they are capable of. Bearing in mind of course then you get to the Ghost Note Symphonies which are acoustic variants which are amazing in their own right.
Man, there is so much more to explore by them: Make it stop / Survivor Guilt / Ready to fall / Satellites / Long Forgotten Sons...
You are SOOOOOO wrong! This is about big corporations shipping jobs out to other countries. Rise Against is VERY anti Trump. I love this band and their political beliefs. Open your eyes
D-Gibby sometimes it’s not that easy for people to become a us citizen let alone even get a visa so the only option they have is to come here illegally now there are people who come here and become criminals but most people just come out of necessity
Ah yes, people safely living the USA bubble always say “it’s real easy to become an American citizen”
my dad legit has to work for 5 years just for the green card, and we got hella lucky
This fool doesn't know anything about immigration outside of what he watches on Fox News.
He's never had friends or family experience the pain and suffering it causes.
I Prevail feat. Joyner Lucas - DOA
Very timely song and video for America right now
I agree with Matthew Pisha. Make It Stop is one of their best. It pulls at the heartstrings. Help is On the Way is another tearjerker as well.
One of my personal favorite Rise Against songs is called ENTERTAINMENT, you should check that out 🤘🏻🔥
Banger
Rise Against was the first concert I ever saw, '06 (I think) in Victoria, Canada. I didn't listen to much harder music at the time but they were a pretty great gateway, truly fantastic band.
The game that this was on was Guitar Hero 3. I remember because this is the song/band that introduced me into rock music and Ive been in love with it ever since
Looked like you got a little bit of a gut check in the last clip of the music video. I'd encourage you to listen to more Rise Against songs. Their lyrics are incredible, and their videos always hit hard like that. I recommend Ready to Fall, Re-Education (Through Labor), Hero of War, The Good Left Undone, and Swing Life Away.
Rise against honestly in my opinion is the most quotable band ever
Shout out to the immigrants yall are the backbone of this country working harder than a motherfucker and doing the kind of necessary, hard, jobs that others think they're too good for.
Gibby, all is fine but don’t get too political... and that bs about #1 nation in the world - come on man, don’t feed your audience that shish... every nation considers themselves to be the best. Who the hell cares who’s the best, just be kind to each other... with all the madness going on in the world right now, the last thing we need is to say things like that. Other than that - nice reaction, fire song and an amazing band.
I agree with you partially, so I'll try to do better and be an even more positive example. Thanks for the critical thinking family, all love!
D-GiBBY damn, didn’t expect an answer but I am actually glad u did answer. U r a humble man, I can appreciate that. Most of the content creators let fame go into their heads and start behaving, well, not in the best way. Keep up the good work brotha!
Rise Against is one of the best rock bands ever. Period. The Sufferer & the Witness and Appeal to Reason are masterpieces.
Everything Rise Against has ever done is AMAZING
The song is more about how our capitalist society is destroying these third world countries and the wage gap I used to work for Nordstroms, the cost for making the clothes and the amount we were paid doesn't add up to how much we sold the products for which means someone is getting shortchanged. Imagine working twice as long but only get a few dollars or cents a day for it just so we don't have to pay as much or some some billionaire can have even more money.
Hard to chose a bad song from them. I think I've already seen them suggested but I would say "Hero of War" and "Make it Stop (September's Children)" may be the most challenging to your (admittingly assumed) politics and beliefs. I think their official videos are pretty straight forward but in "Hero of War" especially, I would suggested paying close to the lyrics and the change in the 3rd verse. And keep in mind the song was written after they received variations of the same letter from veterans.
Got to see them years ago when they headlined with Bad Religion playing before them. Greg Gaffin made sure to thank them for taking them out on tour in a way helping them out the same way they helped Rise Against. They had also tried to get a spot with another band that they opened years ago. I don't remember exactly how they worded it, but they seemed more interested in their Broadway show than talking to a band that helped them when they were coming up.
Yo Gibby, love your mindset man, i am also trying to get closer to your mindset as i do believe it is the right way. I do believe that hard-work, dedication and passion is the way to go, and im not religious i do know you are and i won't judge someone based on their race, skin color or religion choice. You are either a good person or a bad one. Love every single one of yall people out there man, stay safe
Strongly reccomend Rise Against- Help is On the Way. that song and especially the video really gets to you on an emotional level
Only just discovered your videos, absolutely love your positive energy. Found you through PWD reactions, and just found this, I'm a massive Rise Against fan, do more RA, please!
This song in particular was on Guitar Hero 3, I believe. One of my favorite songs of theirs. I recommend The Good Left Undone, if you haven’t already seen it.
I have gotten more motivation & self-worth through D-Gibby than I have from anyone in my 21 years on this earth. Thank you so (and I apologize) so god damn much bro you're the G.O.A.T. we need more people like you out here.
This was in Guitar Hero 3, maybe you recognize it from there if you ever played it!
Bro I love the song and your reaction however I disagree when you say that America or "The United States" is the best country. Honestly with all this situation that is going on right now in the USA , I think the situation can be managed in a better way, but people are not putting their effort, as everything there is a lot of racism throughout the world but sometimes the USA goes to different levels , I like your videos dude , but I do not agree with your opinion! hope you do well! good vibes!
Which country is better? I'm curious. Because I've traveled the world, and if you ever saw how people lived in other parts of the world you'd stop pretending your little entitled life in America is so tough. We are the best country in the world, bar none. No offense, but you look like you're about 12, please attain some life experience before shitting on the fabric of the country you're so privileged to live in.
WE TH3 PEOPLE ok bro, look! I’m not 12 hahaha , I’m from Costa Rica, Have you ever been here? There no better or worse countries. We all go thru some shit. But there are people who indeed think that they are better than others just because they’re from the United States (this is the correct name for your country) America is actually the whole continent , I can say I’m American since Costa Rica is located in the same continent. I don’t sincerely agree that the USA is the best country , you know there’s lots of racists , lots of murders , I ain’t agree with that. People die every minute in different countries , tell me one single country that doesn’t face murders! , yeah exactly None. So there’s no BEST COUNTRY. Please you’re more than welcome to come to Costa Rica and check it out.

We don't even have healthcare LOL

All that talk...and having a Trump banner in the background.Bye bye credibility.
Chicago's The Smashing Pumpkins should be on your radar. Such an important rock band. You should start with their song Cherub Rock. It's their first song on their 1993 masterpiece album Siamese Dream. This Album is still my favorite today. Have a nice day!!?
Yo high key never noticed the trump signs. The last time i watch your videos. You need to do better
Rise Against is all positive message. Love me some Rise Against, 1 of very few select bands I have yet to see LIVE! Thrice reaction when you have time, another band you will enjoy and criminally underrated! I know you are ranting and are positively doing so. I'd disagree...you are clearly financially stable I would say you owe infants/children medically challenged and fragile a donation to their hospitals. I wish I could be a heart surgeon...its far too late and I wasn't blessed with such gifts. 💯🇺🇸
the rants really are ironic when looking at the stuff that rise against does. the sentence "I dont owe nobody nothing" is nonsense. we all owe other people a great debt. People we never met don't even know exist we owe each other a debt because without each other this world would be even more chaotic and unjust. America isnt the greatest country either I grew up aspiring as a kid to be american thanks to movies and cartoons and as I aged I realised that any country that states its the best never will be. To be the best country you have to make other countries betters and set an example without EGO and America doesn't do any of that. should listen to Anti Flag album 2020 Vision (Song Hate Conquers all) sums up the problems with america perfectly and the rest of the world to be honest I dont hate america dont hate any country to hate a country is to hate diversity
Going through the right steps takes 20 years, that's how long it will take for my sponsorship from my sister who was born in the USA to take effect, I will be an old man by then, I could be giving the best years of my life to the USA lol
I recommend Make It stop (Septembers Children) that has to be one of their most powerful songs and one of my personal favorites i've been a fan of Rise Against for over 14 years now and i've seen them live 50 times. I strongly recommend Make it Stop.
Rise Against- The Good Left Undone
or Re-Education
Bro, you should know that coming to the border, to ask for asylum, is the right legal way to ask for it recognized by internation laws. An asylum seeker is someone who can't go through a regular economic immigrations process, such a green card, but his request isn't less legal thought. And remember the words engraved at the feet of the statue of Liberty, by Emma Lazarus : Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! If those words aren't what the America means anymore, maybe the statue of liberty should be returned to France.
lol this dude said, don’t judge me on what I believe and what I stand for.
What the fuck else are we supposed to judge a person by
So many great songs to choose from when it comes to Rise Against. Hero Of War, Saviour, September’s Children, Swing Life Away, Re-Education Through Labour. Just anything by them will be great.
D-Gibby is a breath of fresh air, he truly is an amazing person!
State of the union by rise against
Banger
If only becoming a citizen was as easy as you’re making it seem lmao
The song is also about how a lot of our consumer goods are about taking advantage of poor countries. Now of the clips they show are Americans
This is by far my favorite reaction to this song out there, The way he was talking through all the video just to being Jaw dropped with the ending was priceless LOL
What is this instrumental at the beginning of this video while he's talking? The same instrumental plays during all of his videos and it's fire af. Please help.
More (RISE AGAIN) Please
I dont think GIBBS noticed at the end of the video spelt out on the floor is "FAIR TRADE"
It's always awesome to come across a song that you don't recognize at first, then as soon as the chorus kicks in you're like, "HOLY SHIT IT'S T H I S SONG?"
Happened to me with Before I Forget, I played it on Guitar Hero a lot, I randomly come across it at a time I really hated SlipKnot, gave it a chance and as soon as that chorus kicked in, I threw my hands up in the air in pure confusion, I'm like "H U H?"
Needless to say, I got a SlipKnot tattoo and they're my favorite band, so my opinion of them has definitely changed.
Who knows this song from never back down👍🏽👍🏽
With the utmost urgency ..Please react to "DOA" by I Prevail ft Joyner Lucas .. to say it is relevant right now is an understatement & I feel everyone should see the video & hear the lyrics. Joyner hoppin on a rock track... you know its gotta be amazing. Most importantly, it is our world right now summed up in a 4 minute music video.
one of my favorite songs ever! i’m glad you’re finally reacting to it!
If anyone was wondering what video game this is from it's Guitar Hero 3
Home of the free hahaha who would wanna come to America. The system over there is the laughing stock of the planet. Come here to Australia we are much better.
I thought the video was about American greed
Lets gooooo!
It’s from guitar hero! Hope that helped even if someone already told you just wanted to do that in case you didn’t know yet!🙃🙃 new subscriber
YESSSSS so happy you’ve finally listened to Rise Against! Do Make It Stop next
If we’re talking Rise Against,
try ‘Give It All’, ‘Ready To Fall’, or ‘Roadside’
It was in Madden 2007
This song was not, that was Drones
If you start doing rise against on the regular youll get all my views for sure check out songs like SURVIVE, BLOOD TO BLEED, Blood red white and blue, just to start you off Tim has a god tier scream
Rise against is always a banger!!!!
DGibby you da man ... keep up the good work !
Rise Against ...Satellite is a banger !
This song was in guitar hero 3, that might be where youve heard it from.
Re-education (through labor) and Savior are great songs of theirs.
