This song was played at my 8 year old sons funeral. He saw you in Melbourne in November 2018. It was as that last gig he went to. Can’t thank you enough
Al Rogers agreed. I've been passing on my love of all things metal, especially Metallica to my 5 years old grandson. Soooooo friggin awesome to hear him sing Thunderstruck too though! Great to see it through a little one's eyes.
My step-dad passed away yesterday morning. Him and I used to spend time together listening to our favorite music, and this was a song he introduced me to a month or so ago that I fell in move with. I'm here to pick out music for his viewing on Wednesday; I think he'd like to hear this song again one last time. I love you John, you were like the father I never had. ❤️
These guys really bring some much needed humanity to the genre, it doesn't always have to be "death blood and skulls" or "nobody understands me because I'm in highschool" there's a grey area where parkway sits that's just simply great music.
streetz86 neither is ronnie radke but that hasn't stopped him from building a career of pretending to be. Them being in highschool wasn't the point...Wasn't even supposed to be implied, really.
my 3 year old son loves this song and that there is a plane in it. I normally put on baby lullabies to put him to sleep but tonight wasn't having it and he made me put this on 6 times until he fell asleep to it. Every time is was over "airplane song again!". I think I may be parenting properly?
This song is no where near as heavy as I was expecting but it has a really great uplifting vibe to it which is a good counter to how gloomy Atlas was in places.
Did any of you guys think about the fact that Vice Grip could just be for live shows, something to get the crowd excited? Or since the new album is called Ire, this is the first song and the album gets progressively darker and heavier. This song isn't perfect but I still like it. Just because its lighter and overall pretty different from their other stuff, doesn't mean they're selling out. Don't jump to conclusions. Also, I don't know why I've seen so many people are hating on ABR's new album on this video. Its fucking awesome, nearly as good as Rescue and Restore.
This song sends such a great message for people to get out and live they're life to fullest regardless of what the world throws at them to keep fighting instead of laying down to die you have to spring back up higher and 1000x more powerful just to show haters or problems that you can crush them down faster than they can break you
Absolutely. Fucking. Epic. I just went through the most hellish year of my life, and through strength I didn't even know existed, I have begun building a life worth living again. This song is a monument to those who lost hope. Never give up, you are stronger than you know. The light in the darkness!!! Fuck Yeah PWD, you fucking nailed it! You get knocked down, you get the fuck back up and you fucking FIGHT!
Thank you for your comment, brother! Life is good now, but the road has been more difficult than anything I could have ever predicted. If there are any ways I can reach out and help others who are down in whatever way, then that is what I will do. It is through the kindness of strangers and the beauty of humanity that I am here today able to type these words. Yes, humans can be ugly and do terrible things to each other, but our capacity for good is just as limitless. On topic, it seems like a rather sizable portion of Parkway Drives' music is geared towards Strength: not strength of arms, but the Strength of brotherhood (sister too!), Strength of character, strength of compassion, Strength to help others and do whats right! "Twelve years I’ve fought for this Twelve years, my heart still beats For the ones who’ve stood beside me Through the values that define me No compromise, no surrender These beliefs, they make me whole Never the breaker, promise keeper Remains the ethic instilled in me" - Parkway Drive "Dedicated" -
ChealyTheNinja I agree with you. The guy above probably listens to Djent and says all other bands are shit because they don't have 35 break downs in their songs that play at 85 bpm!
Parkway Drive NEW ALBUM 'IRE' drops September 25! Watch their insane NEW VIDEO #ViceGrip. Pre-order 'IRE' at parkwaydriverock.com at get "Vice Grip" instantly.
Can we all take a minute to appreciate how well shot and directed this video is?! And I'm actually really starting to enjoy the song, sure it's different but it's uplifting and fun. Nothing wrong with that!
Jake Bolt The director has done a bunch of awesome videos. He directed Asking Alexandria's Through sin and self destruction short film and the death of me video. Chill guy.
That guitar riff at the the start lures you in, and then the video and Winston's amazing screams trap you. The epic guitar solo at the end leaves you repeating the song again and again...
Some bands change. Some end up going to the right way and Some go the wrong way. Parkway is going to the right way and people need to accept that. I still love them! screw the haters
Scott Bainbridge If you've been a fan since Killing With A Smile, you wouldn't know this was the same band. I like progress, but this is going in a whole different direction. If I wanted a different direction, I'd listen to a different band.
I can't count the number of times I've heard people say that heavy metal music has nothing to offer.... there's nothing to it....it's just noise....nothing uplifting about it. This song, along with many others, is VERY uplifting. "One life...one shot....GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!!!!!!"
+Mladen Rusov Thousands of adults gathering to scream the national anthem , kids going to school to learn to scream so they could take part in the national anthem Life would be complete I'd just need to Australian then
PWD - "Wild Eyes", 2013. Harmonic chanting to fill in and bring together the vocals. Good song. Nobody complains. PWD - "Vice Grip", 2015. a sing-along section in the chorus to get the crowd hype live. Outraged fans saying how "soft" they got and how they "sold out" to the mainstream.
I was alternating between, pacing, sitting staring at a wall, and chainsmoking because I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. This track got me to focus, put all the bullshit to the back of my head and allowed to function again. Please, keep doing what you do.
Yeah. I was freaking out, no longer. I really need my brain to turn off though. It grabs an idea and runs with it until extinguished, regardless of how small, upsetting or infuriating that idea might be. I research until most of the available information has been exhausted and or verified. Doesn't matter if its 6am or midnight. Very irritating, actually. Also, rapists deserve the electric chair. Don't fucking do that shit. Especially not to anyone I know, you assholes with no self control. You know who you are, and I'm judging you. Just pissed I don't get to sit on the jury.
i fuck with the 80s vibe on this one, and i doubt that this is what the whole album will sound like. they've been experimenting with "uplifting" songs sparingly, like Dream Run, and they've said in interviews that the new album still maintains their core sound. also, they've been a band for over 10 years now, they aren't going to write shit like Gimme A D or Smoke Em If You Got Em anymore lol they've toned down on their angst since they are in their 30s. still...i miss the harmonized tapping riffs
MURD3R3D i feel you man, i still fuckin love the old songs, but i think PWD always switch it up a tiny bit with each album, which is why they are so awesome (in my opinion) haha. i'm just really excited to hear the full thing!
I don't care what the haters think, they came from nothing as a band sleeping in the woods on tour, and made it this far.. I hope they go mainstream. The real fans will be here. It's not like the old albums will disappear.
im not a "fanboy" i just want people i like to be successful and make as much money as possible , i didn't really like this song tha much, its pretty cheezy and they cleary did it to appeal to a bigger crowd however im not a fucking hater and shit on everything i dont like, just because the world doesn't please me.
So your saying let one of the very few good bands out there go mainstream and turn to shit just to make more cash and you support that cause of their old albums...? You don't sound like a fan to me... This songs not bad.... But I expect more from them IMO.
+hof mcnabb not mainstream man. Mainstream music just keep getting shitty. And the fuckin fandom for mainstream music or artists are so fuckin annoying.
Want to hear more? I went to a show last year and was at the front with many other fellow metalheads. There was a lady who had a small boy with her, obviously her son and asked if he could be at the very front to see the band. We were more than happy to do that. She asked myself and another dude next to me to help shield him in case of moshes and crowd surfing and we did. But nobody crowd surfed or moshed during the show, it turned out they all knew there was a kid there and didn't want to risk hurting him. I do recall a couple of girls behind me telling the guys around them not to mosh because of the boy. His mother thanked us for looking after him. We are not even remotely the monsters or troublemakers that some ignorant fools like to make us out to be.
Wow I remember listening to this when I was struggling with fentynal addiction, I was so far gone, that was over 6 years ago, been clean 5 years now, it's wild how time flies, so many friends dead, so many friends lost to these drugs, god had other plans for me though, I chose life ♥️
It doesn’t sounds like other PWD stuff, but this song is fucking awesome! Honestly i liked so much, but i really hope the rest of IRE sounds more aggressive! Long live Parkway Drive! lmL
Carlos Salazar Agree not the most heavy stuff.. not too big fan of the anthem shouting.. but other than that pretty solid track.. Like his new style of extra added vocals. The video is fucking awesome though! Looking forward to hearing the rest :D
Ramul I dig this track sort of being completely different to anything they've ever done. I mean change isn't always bad, and they've done it perfectly. But I agree, some heavier stuff would be nice on this new album. So stoked for the Aussie tour too! \m/
Carlos Salazar From what I've read about the new album, this track is set to be the lightest one on the record. I don't want to speak too soon, but I will anyway: Get ready for some bone-crushing brutalness guys!
I just want to know why Epitaph didn't include Parkway Drive on their station in Forza Horizon 3 set in Byron bay Australia where Parkway Drive are from.
Shit? You crazy man? It's got ADTR, Bad Religion, Descendents, Every time I Die, .letlive, offspring, pennywise, rancid, saosin and fucking transplants. Sure it's not as metal but can't deny all the great bands in there
PurpleIsALetter You guys really need to stop complaining and just wait for the album to come out... IRE translates directly into "Anger" so there's no way this album won't be heavy.
PurpleIsALetter I love the album as well, but why would I want an album that is just like it? People complain all the time that so many bands sound the same. Parkway Drive has consistently changed it's sound while staying the same. If all they did was release an album that sounded the same as the last, why would you even listen to them?
For what hair metal? The genre that almost killed off metal. Trash was late 80s early 90s. The 80s is stupid as shit. Only good shit to come out of the 80s was hardcore punk.
Pavel Burtsev я вообще сначала, перед просмотром клипа, глянул описание к самому видео, тотчас заметил текст к треку и сразу понял: "блин, да это же круто! всё выглядит многообещающе!" и принялся смотреть клип. чёрт!!! такого сногсшибательного клипа я не видел словно сто лет!!! здесь прекрасно всё! и атмосфрера, и ракурсы, и качество(!!! сука, даже в 2160p сняли! ну просто браво!!! будущее - за большими мониторами! :D), ну а музыка просто великолепна! пусть они стали более попсовыми, но ради такого творчества я готов с ними быть до конца моей жизни!!!)) parkway drive - эти ребята точно знают что делают. уверен, предстоящий альбом будет просто бомбой и выстрелом в небо! да, это уже что-то новое. это - будущее! вперёд!!!)))
My daughter introduced me to these guys. Went and saw them at a little spot called the limelight in Peoria Illinois. I'm hooked. Ire is in my cd player as we speak
Dear Parkway Drive, you guys have helped me. Stopped me from doing harm to myself and saving my life. This song means the world to me, I got VICE GRIP tattooed on my knuckles...this song literally saved me from hurting myself.. this song means everything to me and I'll go to my grave with VICE GRIP on my knuckles.. Thank you Parkway Drive for saving another brother with depression and anxiety life!!
A band doing the same thing over and over again with the same sound doesn't guarantee a great album (-Slipknot- at least their new album is the same stuff they've done already). Change is necessary to keep away from hearing the same song in 30 alternative ways. I like it and I hope the rest of the album is like this, with a couple more heavier songs, like their old stuff. Difference is key.
Ben Dover Slipknot has done the same sound over and over? Volume 3 sounds nothing like Iowa. I agree with your point entirely, just not sure about that example
Slipknot doesn't do same shit over and over at all. Maybe ahig and the gray chapters might be somewhat similar but you can til much difference between all their albums. Same with parkway drive :b
Would say a better example would be Slayer (same old shit) as oppose to Slipknot ! Disagree with Slipknot as an example of a band that does the same thing over and over !
Brianna O'Niell May I suggest playing an earlier album to save you the trouble.. Actually nah scratch that, if you like this then you deserve a fucktard in your life.
I love this band, this music helps me feel better when I'm anxious and don't feel good. I need to listen ALL of their songs ♥.What a good discovery at the end of year! Happy new year all metalheads and everyone \m/
Disappointed but not discouraged. When you release such an EPIC album like Atlas. It's pretty hard to top. Don't get me wrong it is a pretty awesome song but lacks the impact like Dark Days and Wild Eyes did. Bring on the hateful comments!
jkteddy77 I totally agree. I honestly think this song is good, not great, but good. However if you removed Winston's vocals from the song and just had the instruments, I feel like you'd have a hard time recognizing who this band is. Their first three albums definitely have a particular sound that is completely original.
Allan Madhuram Agreed! Deep Blue has to be the album with the most memorable tracks. Horizons may have solid tracks like Feed Them To The Pigs, Boneyards, and Dead Man's Chest but songs such as Sleepwalker, Deadweight, Deliver Me, Karma, and Hollow are so memorable it's not even funny. Atlas had Wild Eyes, Dark Days, and Blue And The Grey which are very memorable songs to me but Deep Blue knocks it out of the park. But who knows, IRE might take us by surprise and destroy all the Parkway Drive albums that we've all grown to know and love over the years.
People ask me all the time how I listen to bands like this and ask how can I understand the lyrics. I often wonder how people don’t listen to this. How do you not understand the lyrics? I sometimes wonder if people that have experienced pain, trauma, anxiety/depression are the only ones that can feel this kind of music.
Imo metal does have lyrics that can be hard to understand but at the same time only lyrically due to vocals but you can feel what they are saying and by extension discern what they are trying to say. Example: Heaven Shall Burn’s Combat which is about kids being drafted into the military and their lives being ruined and their childhoods becoming just a facade and maybe not even real to them given their often lack of a perceived cruelty in the world. It’s a shock to their minds but the song itself is hard to understand lyrically given the vocals in fact I had to look up the lyrics but the vocals at the same time push to hammer their raw message forward to the point that yes lyrics help to understand it but the vocals do more than enough to sell the true meaning of the song not to mention the video. That’s why I love metal so much. The vocals, the instruments and everything else give way to a true masterpiece in almost every metal song in existence.
Just discovered these guys recently. Needed this. I was already certifiably traumatized by 2009, and I've been in another crisis since 2013. This song makes me remember all the...bravado I used to have. I used to think I could just _will_ my way through the hard times.
You can't make breakdowns and blast beats interesting for 13 years straight. I love Kiling with a smile more than anything but i don't think i'd listen to PWD at all if they stayed the same.
Kyle Lally Notice how i said for 13 years straight after that. PWD have been a band since 2002. Doing breakdowns and blast beats every song and every album for that long is a little ridiculous. Dying Fetus is garbage btw.
Yes, Parkway! Yes!
Cole Rolland Any PWD covers coming up in celebration? :D
Cole Rolland vice grip cover next then. Dooo itttt!
Ohhh shit you listen to parkway drive ??? Why dont u do covers or anything related to pwd
This song was played at my 8 year old sons funeral. He saw you in Melbourne in November 2018. It was as that last gig he went to. Can’t thank you enough
So very sorry, Shane. God bless you 🙏😢😢
Dude...i hope you are okay
My thoughts are with you brother
Every time I watch this video and I find your comment makes me wanna cry 😢
I'm going to play this song every day now.
Parkway Drive. My favorite 80s Hair Metal band.
I giggled to this comment hahaha
Steel panther brought me hear
***** Great idea! This song is fucking nice.
Juliiiiiiiiiiiiiiian That comment made me laugh so hard man hahaha
Better them solos hair bands had the best guitars all time
Got to respect Winston. Straight edge lifestyle, no drugs, no alcohol. Just passion
Pure music, Pure soul
No joke. Winston is a fucking legend. Pure music
No wonder this songs so corny
And a voice that is insanely durable being able to continue performing uncleans like this.
Seriously?? No wonder his voice is epic
My 2 year old toddler sings along to this song. Best feeling in the world to be able to pass the gift of metal along to my kids.
Hell yeah \m/
Just saw them last night. Amazing show. Played old and new stuff
+Al Rogers I saw them last night and they had the crowd full of chaos
They are a great live band, can't wait to see them again. They can definitely work the crowd
Al Rogers agreed. I've been passing on my love of all things metal, especially Metallica to my 5 years old grandson. Soooooo friggin awesome to hear him sing Thunderstruck too though! Great to see it through a little one's eyes.
This is my anthem. My motivation. The only song I need to get me on my feet and live life to its fullest. Thank you Parkway Drive!!!!!
Mine too
thank you Australia for Parkway Drive. Absolutely amazing.
+Ibnul Anan and Make Them Suffer too
For years and years I've praised Australia for AC/DC . They are legends. I don't know a single person who doesn't love them.

Parkway Drive is some of the best fucking workout music on earth.
yes
ya im gona listen to while snowmobiling this winter ,
Best song to lift to is idols and anchors
Hahah currently at the gym listening to this (cardio unfortunately right now) while stomping on the treadmill
Some? It is the best lol.
My neighbor who introduced me to Parkway Drive about a week ago his daughter is 4 and she screams and growls out there songs✌✌✌
Tell your neighbor he's parenting right 🤘
Love it. My kids, 3 and 6, so the same. Keep up the good work!
Film it and make it go viral
That’s really actually wholesome
Good parent
"Hope for the hopeless, A light in the dark

Thats my Bubbas. My mates down under
Same. This band / song is amazing.

claro que si !
This song is no where near as heavy as I was expecting but it has a really great uplifting vibe to it which is a good counter to how gloomy Atlas was in places.

The optimism is contagious.

Troy Baker I have faith in PWD. This album will be just as badass as the rest of their work.
unitedgray I agree. I have high hopes for this album.
Troy Baker All these factors don't change that this song itself is a bit crappy
Troy Baker except ABR died (in my opinion) after Constellations. It doesn't really matter if it sounds on par with Rescue and Restore lol
ToastyVirus Crappy for what reason?
Hollidux So what makes you think that ABR died after Constellation?
Hats off to you fellas
How long till next episode you boys?

Idylls best Aussie band straight up

Yes it does going through a really rough break up. And this song says all the right things
Yep been threw a rough breack up my self 😕 hope for the hopeless 🤟
Word!
This is why I love being a metalhead because we have such a strong and big community and come together when need be.rock on metalheads 🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely. Fucking. Epic.
I just went through the most hellish year of my life, and through strength I didn't even know existed, I have begun building a life worth living again.
This song is a monument to those who lost hope. Never give up, you are stronger than you know. The light in the darkness!!! Fuck Yeah PWD, you fucking nailed it!
You get knocked down, you get the fuck back up and you fucking FIGHT!

What???
I can't count the number of times I've heard people say that heavy metal music has nothing to offer.... there's nothing to it....it's just noise....nothing uplifting about it. This song, along with many others, is VERY uplifting. "One life...one shot....GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!!!!!!"

IT'S AWESOME
many of my braincells say w h a t
Wtf did I just read
@@nickfewkes2837 I struggled myself
Lol I know someone that talks like that about his music to
When life is has got you you sideways, bands like this make you want to explode and face whatever it is that's getting you.
RISE!
PWD - "Wild Eyes", 2013. Harmonic chanting to fill in and bring together the vocals.
Good song. Nobody complains.
PWD - "Vice Grip", 2015. a sing-along section in the chorus to get the crowd hype live.
Outraged fans saying how "soft" they got and how they "sold out" to the mainstream.
+Damien Dayton I just dont understand..
+Damien Dayton Cause Wild Eyes is a wayyy better song than this.
***** Exactly. The majority of the people talking shit are the ones that "listened to PWD before it was cool"
***** Not at all :)
They're back with wishing Wells
Exactly what I needed to hear right now. THANK YOU.
I was alternating between, pacing, sitting staring at a wall, and chainsmoking because I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. This track got me to focus, put all the bullshit to the back of my head and allowed to function again. Please, keep doing what you do.
+Uday Thambimuthu u okay there?
Yeah. I was freaking out, no longer.
I really need my brain to turn off though. It grabs an idea and runs with it until extinguished, regardless of how small, upsetting or infuriating that idea might be. I research until most of the available information has been exhausted and or verified.
Doesn't matter if its 6am or midnight. Very irritating, actually.
Also, rapists deserve the electric chair. Don't fucking do that shit. Especially not to anyone I know, you assholes with no self control. You know who you are, and I'm judging you. Just pissed I don't get to sit on the jury.
fak u kid
This sounds like it could be in a superhero movie
Guy Dude Absolutely correct man! This song should be the theme for the Batman vs Superman movie!
Power Rangers XD
Guy Dude yeah.... super fucking douchey
Guy Dude how this could ever be on a refused playlist....what the fuck
Guy Dude Yeah I definitely agree. It also sounds like the 'one metal song' a non-metalhead would listen to
As a Old Metal head , Ex Airborne Infantrymen, I very much appreciate The Hel of these guys .
i fuck with the 80s vibe on this one, and i doubt that this is what the whole album will sound like. they've been experimenting with "uplifting" songs sparingly, like Dream Run, and they've said in interviews that the new album still maintains their core sound. also, they've been a band for over 10 years now, they aren't going to write shit like Gimme A D or Smoke Em If You Got Em anymore lol they've toned down on their angst since they are in their 30s.
still...i miss the harmonized tapping riffs
$SOUNDS$ hey I love Atlas as muich as the next parkway fan, but if they made a new song like Smoke Em...thats fuckin alright with me.
MURD3R3D i feel you man, i still fuckin love the old songs, but i think PWD always switch it up a tiny bit with each album, which is why they are so awesome (in my opinion) haha. i'm just really excited to hear the full thing!
$SOUNDS$ Actually Winston and Jeff are the only ones in their 30s. Theyre both 32. Luke, Pie, and Ben are all still in their 20s haha.
jkteddy77 BMTH has always sucked :)
$SOUNDS$ Dream Run is by no means, an uplifting song...especially comparing it to this song
Just saw these guys live last night in tulsa. Great show! Loved how we all sang Bohemian Rhapsody while awaiting them.
+FamousLastWords fuck off with your pony shit. Its not 2013 anymore. No one gives two fucks about sexualized ponies.
+Hoolio VonLoot Apparently you still do.
+Hoolio VonLoot what does that have to do with their comment at all? You don't have to criticize people about their profile picture
Josh Lukowicz it is my duty in life to eradicate these filthy swine from the face of the earth. I has everything to do with possibly everything.
+Hoolio VonLoot says the one without a profile pic
I don't care what the haters think, they came from nothing as a band sleeping in the woods on tour, and made it this far.. I hope they go mainstream. The real fans will be here. It's not like the old albums will disappear.
hof mcnabb "I hope they go mainstream."
The call of the wild fanboy, ladies and gentlemen.
im not a "fanboy" i just want people i like to be successful and make as much money as possible , i didn't really like this song tha much, its pretty cheezy and they cleary did it to appeal to a bigger crowd however im not a fucking hater and shit on everything i dont like, just because the world doesn't please me.
+hof mcnabb They kinda are mainstream.
So your saying let one of the very few good bands out there go mainstream and turn to shit just to make more cash and you support that cause of their old albums...? You don't sound like a fan to me... This songs not bad.... But I expect more from them IMO.
+hof mcnabb not mainstream man. Mainstream music just keep getting shitty. And the fuckin fandom for mainstream music or artists are so fuckin annoying.
I love songs like this, with a good positive message
Trying out my new headset. I think I picked the right song.
Sony something. I don't remember the name now but it was around 6,000¥.
Bose QC here - man love the guitars...
lol i did exactly the same thing!!!
you bought a $1000 headset and cant remember the name? get fucked ling ling.
6000 yen is $56
I am convinced this song gives me super human strength while working out.
They pulled an A7X nicely. Legends.
Rui Carneiro I was thinking the EXACT same thing!
Rui Carneiro meaning?
Fuck a7x
Rui Carneiro Do not ever compare Parkway Drive to that band ever.
noskilz04 he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
And people say metal is always negative and depressing.
Yeah...That's one of the biggest lies that has ever been told.
Those people are negative and depressing
Want to hear more? I went to a show last year and was at the front with many other fellow metalheads. There was a lady who had a small boy with her, obviously her son and asked if he could be at the very front to see the band. We were more than happy to do that. She asked myself and another dude next to me to help shield him in case of moshes and crowd surfing and we did. But nobody crowd surfed or moshed during the show, it turned out they all knew there was a kid there and didn't want to risk hurting him. I do recall a couple of girls behind me telling the guys around them not to mosh because of the boy. His mother thanked us for looking after him. We are not even remotely the monsters or troublemakers that some ignorant fools like to make us out to be.
Fuck them then! I rather listen to and actual guitar than freaking rap with no fucking instrument
Dude metal is life keeps me motivated And HAPPY
I love how much Ben is rocking out on drums.
Cam Dean hell yeah! and originally he was only elected as a drummer because nobody else could. how cool lol
Haha that's awesome, Ben is a great drummer. :)
PARKWAY DRIVE TILL I DIE...
Also this song is gonna be sick live!
Hell yeah man
Ross Jordan This is the first thing I thought when I heard it. Fucking sick.
P.D.O.D
Parkway Drive Or Die
Ross Jordan Til I die...
The most normal looking metal band I've ever listened to.
Pretty much all bands look like normal guys these days, you can't tell the genre of the band by their looks anymore xD
Look up for the episode from Bus Invaders feat. Eluveitie, I'm still not sure if they're actually my Hippie neighbors.
Lindsey Chastain ... Australian metalcore bands don't worry about looking "the scene".
not true whatsoever
How was the fall on the AF Great Wall?
Wow I remember listening to this when I was struggling with fentynal addiction, I was so far gone, that was over 6 years ago, been clean 5 years now, it's wild how time flies, so many friends dead, so many friends lost to these drugs, god had other plans for me though, I chose life ♥️
Where are you at now Matt? Hopefully happy and healthy! God bless!
Give it all you got.
It doesn’t sounds like other PWD stuff, but this song is fucking awesome! Honestly i liked so much, but i really hope the rest of IRE sounds more aggressive! Long live Parkway Drive! lmL
Carlos Salazar Agree not the most heavy stuff.. not too big fan of the anthem shouting.. but other than that pretty solid track.. Like his new style of extra added vocals. The video is fucking awesome though! Looking forward to hearing the rest :D
Ramul I dig this track sort of being completely different to anything they've ever done. I mean change isn't always bad, and they've done it perfectly. But I agree, some heavier stuff would be nice on this new album. So stoked for the Aussie tour too! \m/
Ramul i love how they perform all of their own stunts. they f**king rock!
Hipstergram Thankyou! You said it perfactly! We will always have their great heavier stuff like 'Carion' nomatter what happens!! \m/
Carlos Salazar From what I've read about the new album, this track is set to be the lightest one on the record. I don't want to speak too soon, but I will anyway: Get ready for some bone-crushing brutalness guys!
I just want to know why Epitaph didn't include Parkway Drive on their station in Forza Horizon 3 set in Byron bay Australia where Parkway Drive are from.
i have the same question.
They got caught slippin, Parkway Drive woulda been perfect for that game!
Timothy Butcher just use the groove station they give you a 14 day free trail. it's what I did. I thought the epitaph playlist was crap.
Shit? You crazy man? It's got ADTR, Bad Religion, Descendents, Every time I Die, .letlive, offspring, pennywise, rancid, saosin and fucking transplants. Sure it's not as metal but can't deny all the great bands in there
all them are shit dude besides adtr
Really missing the days of Killing With A Smile right about now.
Exactly
PurpleIsALetter Then go listen to killing with a smile??? I do on a regular basis because like you I know its one of their best albums.
Gabriel Barbosa I'm just saying I wish this song was that good.
PurpleIsALetter You guys really need to stop complaining and just wait for the album to come out... IRE translates directly into "Anger" so there's no way this album won't be heavy.
PurpleIsALetter
I love the album as well, but why would I want an album that is just like it?
People complain all the time that so many bands sound the same. Parkway Drive has consistently changed it's sound while staying the same.
If all they did was release an album that sounded the same as the last, why would you even listen to them?
Your music really hits hard. Helps me bodybuild and get though my past of being abused and bullied all my life. Thank you so much
I got a very 80's Five a Finger Death Punchish vibe. Pretty sweet song.
No, that would be hell in music form. And not the good kind of hell.
80s and five finger death punch can fuck their selves
Red1676 lol the 80s was the best time for music
For what hair metal? The genre that almost killed off metal. Trash was late 80s early 90s. The 80s is stupid as shit. Only good shit to come out of the 80s was hardcore punk.
Red1676 Rust in Peace did come out in the 80's.
I love the intensity they put in the singing for this video! Look at them actually rocking out!
One of the best fucking songs I have ever heard! SO FUCKING INSPIRATIONAL!
ROCK THE FUCK ON!
Nathan Kelly HOPE, FOR THE HOPELESS!!
Nathan Kelly men is so inspirational it bring me back to life give me power! is awesome
crushed is better it is still by parkway drive but vice grip is still good
+Nathan Kelly I think it's like a victory song/anthem type of thing ...It's AWESOME !
Nathan Kelly Let me ask you howlong have you been listening to pwd?
Saw them live - unbelievable performance. Salute boys
Why do people dislike this ? The song is great, the clip is epic
Pavel J Can we just take a moment to appreciate that they are making more music? :D
Pavel Burtsev я вообще сначала, перед просмотром клипа, глянул описание к самому видео, тотчас заметил текст к треку и сразу понял: "блин, да это же круто! всё выглядит многообещающе!" и принялся смотреть клип. чёрт!!! такого сногсшибательного клипа я не видел словно сто лет!!! здесь прекрасно всё! и атмосфрера, и ракурсы, и качество(!!! сука, даже в 2160p сняли! ну просто браво!!! будущее - за большими мониторами! :D), ну а музыка просто великолепна! пусть они стали более попсовыми, но ради такого творчества я готов с ними быть до конца моей жизни!!!)) parkway drive - эти ребята точно знают что делают. уверен, предстоящий альбом будет просто бомбой и выстрелом в небо!
да, это уже что-то новое. это - будущее! вперёд!!!)))
***** Клип офигенный, особенно 2:10 мне понравилось
***** same
Thought the song was good besides the lyrics are week
My daughter introduced me to these guys. Went and saw them at a little spot called the limelight in Peoria Illinois. I'm hooked. Ire is in my cd player as we speak
I can't count the amount of times this song helped me through rough times. Appreciate you guys
Dear Parkway Drive, you guys have helped me. Stopped me from doing harm to myself and saving my life. This song means the world to me, I got VICE GRIP tattooed on my knuckles...this song literally saved me from hurting myself.. this song means everything to me and I'll go to my grave with VICE GRIP on my knuckles..
Thank you Parkway Drive for saving another brother with depression and anxiety life!!
Wow. Amazing the influence music can have. Way to overcome. Hope you're well.
I don't know where I've been, I just discovered them a few months ago.....LOL. These guys rock, love it!!
Just saw them 2 days ago. Best concert ive been to. They fuckin killed it.
Killed it goddamit! Shooop ahh!!
this song gives me so much uplifting energy, god I love this song
This is the song I was that got me on this Group! This song puts me in ORBIT! XXXOOO TO YOU GUYS💋
Come on people! Who's listening is 2021, "keep the flame alive!🔥 "
rock in roll
2024 and still rolling!!!
A band doing the same thing over and over again with the same sound doesn't guarantee a great album (-Slipknot- at least their new album is the same stuff they've done already). Change is necessary to keep away from hearing the same song in 30 alternative ways. I like it and I hope the rest of the album is like this, with a couple more heavier songs, like their old stuff. Difference is key.
Ben Dover Slipknot has done the same sound over and over? Volume 3 sounds nothing like Iowa. I agree with your point entirely, just not sure about that example
Slipknot doesn't do same shit over and over at all. Maybe ahig and the gray chapters might be somewhat similar but you can til much difference between all their albums. Same with parkway drive :b
Would say a better example would be Slayer (same old shit) as oppose to Slipknot ! Disagree with Slipknot as an example of a band that does the same thing over and over !
Matthew Emmison couldn't agree more, I love slayer but their new stuff is just more of the same...
August Burns Red and Silverstein would probably disagree with you.
This is one of those songs I enjoy playing unreasonably loud in my car with the windows down. (:
Brianna O'Niell And only fucktards take notice of you then you wonder why 'guys are so mean' ..
Rust Muncher Fuck it!
Brianna O'Niell May I suggest playing an earlier album to save you the trouble.. Actually nah scratch that, if you like this then you deserve a fucktard in your life.
Timothy Barth That made my afternoon X) lmao
Two typical, unoriginal and senseless comments, its now really no wonder why you's like this song...
Every time you think this track has peaked, it kicks you straight in the nuts again. 🤟🤟
My buddy is 4 days clean today blasting this for you Allen
I love this band, this music helps me feel better when I'm anxious and don't feel good. I need to listen ALL of their songs ♥.What a good discovery at the end of year! Happy new year all metalheads and everyone \m/

This video made me go skydiving and shout "one life, one shot, give it all you got" as I jumped out. Loved it.
Disappointed but not discouraged. When you release such an EPIC album like Atlas. It's pretty hard to top. Don't get me wrong it is a pretty awesome song but lacks the impact like Dark Days and Wild Eyes did. Bring on the hateful comments!
That's a good way of putting it
jkteddy77 I totally agree. I honestly think this song is good, not great, but good. However if you removed Winston's vocals from the song and just had the instruments, I feel like you'd have a hard time recognizing who this band is. Their first three albums definitely have a particular sound that is completely original.
jkteddy77 I still think Deep Blue is their Magnum opus. Can't top such a solid album!
Allan Madhuram Agreed! Deep Blue has to be the album with the most memorable tracks. Horizons may have solid tracks like Feed Them To The Pigs, Boneyards, and Dead Man's Chest but songs such as Sleepwalker, Deadweight, Deliver Me, Karma, and Hollow are so memorable it's not even funny. Atlas had Wild Eyes, Dark Days, and Blue And The Grey which are very memorable songs to me but Deep Blue knocks it out of the park. But who knows, IRE might take us by surprise and destroy all the Parkway Drive albums that we've all grown to know and love over the years.
RandomKiller87 To me it sounds like they ran out of lyrics and just put a song together then called it a day.
These guys are just studs that’s all there is to it. Man they know how to live
How cool is this film clip? Boys just having an absolute ball 🤘
This is probably my favorite music video ever. I lost a shoe at their concert once. I love parkway drive!
most random comment, but i did too lose a shoe lol
That's because ur gay.
I found a couple of shoes at a PWD concert.
Sounds like motivation for you to tie your shoes better next time.
@@Dangerous2099 you sound young
Heard this on Pandora, really thought it was Killswitch. I love metal with tons of positivity. We need more!!!!
Manooo, banda foda para CARALHO TA MALUCOOOOO, cadê os brasileiros que curtem um bom metal
Fico tão feliz de ver algum BR prestigiando essa maravilha de banda, serio, a minha banda favorita
ParkwayDrive é bom demais !!!
L
Finalmente brasileiros com bom gosto
Escuto todo dia pra seguir a rotina.
"uma vida, uma tentativa... dê tudo de si!"
Vamo pra cima!
Keep in mind guys, it took them 9 jumps to get the perfect footage. these guys are dedicated to what they do
Wait, holy shit.....i just realised they literally sky dove for real
Thank you Parkway drive for being a bad ass fucking band, I've found myself out of depression in the last couple weeks and now goal focused
People ask me all the time how I listen to bands like this and ask how can I understand the lyrics. I often wonder how people don’t listen to this. How do you not understand the lyrics? I sometimes wonder if people that have experienced pain, trauma, anxiety/depression are the only ones that can feel this kind of music.
Imo metal does have lyrics that can be hard to understand but at the same time only lyrically due to vocals but you can feel what they are saying and by extension discern what they are trying to say. Example: Heaven Shall Burn’s Combat which is about kids being drafted into the military and their lives being ruined and their childhoods becoming just a facade and maybe not even real to them given their often lack of a perceived cruelty in the world. It’s a shock to their minds but the song itself is hard to understand lyrically given the vocals in fact I had to look up the lyrics but the vocals at the same time push to hammer their raw message forward to the point that yes lyrics help to understand it but the vocals do more than enough to sell the true meaning of the song not to mention the video. That’s why I love metal so much. The vocals, the instruments and everything else give way to a true masterpiece in almost every metal song in existence.
This just screams "I'm 14 and this is deep" energy. 😬
Just discovered these guys recently. Needed this. I was already certifiably traumatized by 2009, and I've been in another crisis since 2013. This song makes me remember all the...bravado I used to have. I used to think I could just _will_ my way through the hard times.
I'm crying tears of pure testosterone after watching this
Kyle Sekenski this has absolutely made me a happier man overall.
u mean... white... tears? lol
Basically testosterone juice is... you know... Are you jizzing from our eyes man?
basically.. compared to deathcore... this is... vagina.
Dave Dom if deathcore had lyrics you would have a point
Parkway are awsome! The more positive HEAVY METAL you hear growing up, the stronger the spirit driving becomes, IN METAL WE TRUST 😈🔥🤘🏻
I’ve loved this song my whole entire life
The amount of energy and will power this song gives me is not to be understated.
Very encouraging lyrics, thank you , I have never heard lyrics and music that's says fight on till now, I'm 42 years now
You can't make breakdowns and blast beats interesting for 13 years straight. I love Kiling with a smile more than anything but i don't think i'd listen to PWD at all if they stayed the same.
FUCKING YES, THANK YOU!
childofbhaal Thanks for making sense on youtube. grats. \w/
There are plenty of bands that can make blasts beats and breakdowns interesting... Dying Fetus.. Aborted kinda....
Kyle Lally Notice how i said for 13 years straight after that. PWD have been a band since 2002. Doing breakdowns and blast beats every song and every album for that long is a little ridiculous. Dying Fetus is garbage btw.
Dying Fetus has been around for 24 years... and how are they garbage??
this song has been with me through 2 seperate 2 year relationships thatve shattered me. it makes me feel worth it again. like i can take on anything
Can't say I care for the singer but everything else about this song is unreal.
