Finally! Someone that actually know's what they're doing! He sings like a pro, plays like a pro, writes like a pro and is one of the most humble people in music today. Just entirely professional all around, along with the rest of the band. Also the fact that at the end of this performance he said "take care of each other" says a lot.
such meaning. . . i love it. . . so sad. but most favorite lines. "ive got some friends, some that ive hardly known, and we've had some times i wouldnt trade for the world." the best verse ive ever heard
Who else gets goosebumps listening to this? It's not that adrenaline rush you get when you listen to your favorite song, it's just goosebumps cause its so awesome. You know? I dont.
@mrbuzz593 same goes for the concert i was once to :D the feeling you got there is undescribable. rise against music is just so emotional and fascinating!
@easternbiker47 yea i would almost wanna say, Chris liked writing songs, but yet knew they would never really be played since Tim is in charge of 99% of song writing. Chris knew he was good enough to play in his band, so i think they just respectful parted ways. Which would make sense with all the guitarists they have had. Zach even admitted all he does is play all the songs Tim writes
Wel yeah, but it'S not a concert but the NAMM and they're there for Taylor Guitars. Would you expect the people to mosh around while Tim is singing three relatively calm songs?
@nyjeterss it seems like everybody likes chris better. i just think he is a much better guitar player. all zach has on him is live stage presence.i for one would pick a better guitar player over a stage performer any day. we should petition to bring him back!

HOLY SHIT!! WHAT THE HEAVEN! this is really awesome :D
@MrSpyKload I think that is why he did so well. he was trying to reach them.
@easternbiker47 yea i would almost wanna say, Chris liked writing songs, but yet knew they would never really be played since Tim is in charge of 99% of song writing. Chris knew he was good enough to play in his band, so i think they just respectful parted ways. Which would make sense with all the guitarists they have had.
Zach even admitted all he does is play all the songs Tim writes
yeaa
Wish Chris was still there :(
Rise Against freaking rules XD
i miss chris !!!!!!!!!!
i noticed the same exact thing.
when i saw them live, everyone was singing so loud, you almost couldnt hear him
no, give it all is actually played in standard...i've messed with it and it is
YOU WELCOME
This is standard tuning EADGBE
Agreed, the original recording is in D#.
its fucking immense live
Wel yeah, but it'S not a concert but the NAMM and they're there for Taylor Guitars.
Would you expect the people to mosh around while Tim is singing three relatively calm songs?
Mmmm Tim
i think it's called the winding road or something like that.
I think that they should also do an acoustic of wait for me
WTF!!! IT IST SO "Mega" I LUV Rise Against!
@hnaht321
mh. i will try to make a cover, so you can look.
i watched some rise against vids, to learn it by myself ;D
@CriticsConfession
So does shane of silverstein, there both good
@MASTEROFPUPPETS238 doubt it, hes married and has a family.
Was my life their inspiration?
rise against is great live, but this is the only song that actually sounds much better than the album version
I wanna be Tim McIlrath when I grow up
quiero los acordes de esta version de la guitarra uno y dos quien me los puede pasar?
@AndreyGIler i meant "the shit" as in "the best".
at least its good qualty guitars:) if u compere with the video qualty:) love rise against...
@nyjeterss it seems like everybody likes chris better. i just think he is a much better guitar player. all zach has on him is live stage presence.i for one would pick a better guitar player over a stage performer any day. we should petition to bring him back!
@Joint00786 would u like to help a fan learn this song?im not sure what the first chord he plays is.
Seems like they didn't have the time to change their guitar tuning, they normaly play in Es but they play standart tuning here.
Oh, now i think i understand:P you mean that joe is the one singing the ahh ha haaaaaa parts, am i right?
damn, i couldn't go!
which show at which city?
why chris is not in the band anymore ??
@CriticsConfession clearly you ears have never heard layne staley
Can someone send me the chords used in the chorus please??
tim mcilrath = GOD!
Who disliked this?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
Hmm... can someone tell me the chords he uses for the chorus? Mine are sooo wrong. lol
he does not do a ahaaa in the chorus....
its a slow "Life Less Frightening , Life Less Frighteninig"
is there a non acoustic song ?
Tim McIlrath and Kurt Cobain are GOD!
Oh my God. Put transcribe audio on xD!
chord solo guitar 2? plz
When you say original, do you mean the origina 1/2 step down or standard tuning?
@arker91 hah yha so did i.
no the Tuning is really higher. If play that song on guitar you'll hear the different and have to tune your guitar a halfstep higher...or lower
Joe is not the singer............ he is the bass player
Then Chris Chasse definitely would have to be the First Lady.
Love them playing together...
fav it?
wow, this recording is either pitched or they are playing it in a different (higher) tuning. Not the same as the original.
tim is god
Does Anyone know what chords/tabs Tim is playing ?
