FFDP does a lot of songs about stuff people don’t like to talk about. Come Down is a heavy one.
This 100%. They talk about the things no one wants to but everyone needs to. As you said "Coming Down" is a great example.
TW for that vid
Coming Down resonates VERY heavily with me that it sealed FFDP as one of my top 5.
This is definitely a good cover, and personally I believe it's how The Offspring should have done it(original band)
Coming Down is a GREAT song. The video may be difficult to watch, but it should be. Suicide is a difficult topic and they address it head on with a very deep and very heavy song.
From a disabled combat vet, thank you for this.
"Oh please let me trade. I would." That line alone does exactly what he says. It stings.
I'm not a veteran myself but that line, as you said, stings. I can't fucking imagine what that guy goes through. "Please, let me trade", because in his eyes *he* should be the one who's gone. *He* should've stepped on that explosive. It's heartbreaking.
FFDP came through StL. a few weeks ago and they brought a young girl whom had a brother (19) who was KIA. They always support the troops and do some amazing vids
Thank you for your service and sacrifice
Im a veteran and I really appreciate all your support and kind words. Keep doing what you are doing! Also your father has my utmost respect. Thank him for his service
My Husband is also a Veteran. Took him awhile to integrate back into normal society after 21yrs. 1997-2018. The reason he joined was to provide for a Daughter he had coming, and growing up poor, he really had no other good options. He has been to Iraq, Afghanistan, but that's all he really says. He gave ALL of his uniforms, medals, and letters from her Mother, to his Daughter. He very rarely talks of any of it.
Thank you for your service. From a Canadian vet.
@@colinmackay92 and vice versa bro
Much Love from a German Veteran!
Thank you for your Service Brother.

@@deathpuncher8150 and you too bro!
As a 5 time combat retired veteran, the things we have to do weighs on us heavily but what we can't understand is how 1 second you can be sitting there joking with your buddy, the next they are gone, and we wonder why we survived it. Survivors guilt is what really gets to us because in our minds, it's not fair and we think we aren't good enough for their sacrifice and would rather it have been us. Thanks for your respect and to all my brothers and sisters, I love you so much!
Big Offspring fan here and this is one of my favorite songs from them. FFDP brought this song into a whole meaning for me being prior military and the struggles myself and many of my friends go through on on a daily basis.
I was hoping someone would mention the offspring version. You would be surprised on how many people think that ffdp is the original. I love both versions and each one hits different than the other. Both are powerful songs.
Both versions are 🔥 yet so sad at the same time.
Both versions are obviously different but they have the same message. I love both versions and can relate to both of them. Two combat tours with loss of life are enough for anyone. BTW, in 2003 I was on the military security detail in Afghanistan when FFDP met the troops. I know firsthand that they back the military 110%. They're some awesome guys and treated everyone with the utmost respect.
Have to listen to the Offpsrings original version. They have the album and a Piano Version too.
Agreed. You can hear the pain in his voice when he sings. I'm listening to it now. I forgot how good the original song was.
I got the Smash album when it came out, and even I didn't know about the piano version. Time to check that out!
there is also a version with offspring and dead sara wich is really good
I remember when the original hit MTV. The song was so dark and somber compared to everything that had made them famous, I didn't really like it at the time, because I didn't know the background to it. It hits different now...
The offspring version is def better
I served under Reagan, and Bush … my first deployment was against Libya, my last was DS1… thank you for giving us a voice.
Thanks for being vulnerable with us today. And thanks to your dad for his service!
The fact that some people can go through that and still have the mental fortitude to volunteer and do it again cuz they know what it means for the future of this country amazes me. I'm a veteran and have been to Iraq in 2009 and I never saw combat luckily but I still didn't wanna go back. Much love to all my veteran family, the future soldiers watching, and to all those lost in action. Thanks for your reactions ❤️
Pat Tillman paid the ultimate price for what he believed in. I was shocked and sadden quite dearly when he had been killed in an ambush.
This is a great cover. Please take a listen to the original by The Offspring
Yeah. Offspring at first was frustrated with them as the song was about the death of one of the members gf. But then Offspring got an early version of the video and they 100% supported it
This
@@Loukious Its not about the death of any of the band members gf. It's just a song Dexter wrote as a what if situation that did happen.
@@1985jhowardActually I watched the interview and he and I believe now wife were actually in a establishment that was shot up and the song came from how he would have felt if he lost her.
Thank you for this reaction video. Did a tour to Iraq for a year. Lost a good friend of mine, this song hits home every time I hear it.
Thank you for this reaction and for honoring our vets and active duty soldiers out there.I am not a veteran but my father fought in desert storm and I seen the trials and tribulations he went through after coming home.I am a police officer and in the last two years I've lost two of my brothers in the line of duty and I still think about it every day.
God bless all of our hero veterans. RIP dad. He was a 10 year army combat vet with 2 tours in Vietnam. I miss my pop so much
You made my whole day.. I feel better about tomorrow knowing there is quality people like you.
I thank your mentors and your parents.
Survivors remorse has to be one of the worst punishments in humanity. I've screwed up, and put my fellow soldiers in danger unknowingly. But thank God I learned my lesson. I couldn't imagine if I had to live with the guilt that my mistake took the lives of my fellow soldiers.
Thank you for your genuine emotion, and for your father. As a veteran and still serving in other capacities overseas it means a lot when people genuinely care. For all of my brothers known and unknown; love you all. And to those we have lost you are not forgotten, and we miss you every day. Thank you for this real emotion it means a lot to all of us; though you do not know us as we are strangers to you. Keep doing what you are doing.
Those three black wristbands were a great addition on this video, meaning of them is strong and emotional..
Thank you so very much🙏🏼
I’m a Desert Storm combat Veteran and I appreciate all you do and say about those who gave their life for our country and those who served. My wife and I watch “We were soldiers” with Mel Gibson. It’s a very good movie that both myself and my wife can relate to, we even cry quite a bit during the movie because it is so very emotional when family members are notified of their loved one being KIA. Thank you again for your reaction🙏🏼🌹😞
my friend was a iraq (2nd time) Vet field medic. He was so fucked up playing MGS4 in the first area it took him almost an hour to get like 4 screens. After he got out the desert he kicked the hell out of the game. He cut himself and stitched himself to get better at sutures. after his first tour he was honrably discharged. Im glad you made it back. words cant describe my appreciation for his and your work. And even more appreciation to those who didnt come back.
To anyone who's served in the military or has relatives who have, the scene with the 2 soldiers in dress uniform walking up is a kick in the teeth. You know as soon as you see them what it means. They did a really good job in the video of showing her already realizing what was coming.
Thank you to your father for his service! It is a source of great pride for any of us that come from military families or those who have served. I have said before and I will say here, being handed that folded flag is an experience no family should ever experience. For those of us who have risked coming home beneath the flag, we take it very personal when anyone disrespects that flag. This song and video hit me incredibly hard as I actually lost one of my best friends to suicide after they served. It is such an incredible sacrifice they make to keep us safe and they tolls it takes do not go away easily.
You should do a review of "The Offspring" who wrote "Gone Away". It has a completely different feel that still hits hard and deep to the soul.😥
I'm a 57 year old disabled Air Force Vet, and I appreciate you posting this video. Nothing but love to you and your family!
As an Army veteran of 10 years I would like to personally thank your father for his service and all of the sacrifices you and your family made. You are correct, this one really hits home.
While I agree with many here that "Coming Down" from FFDP has a great message and it's a good song - massive trigger warning. For you but also for potential viewers.
In Germany, where I am, there are restrictions in place before you can start the video and there is a link to a helpline. It's there for a reason and please take it serious in case this could be relevant to you (I don't know you well enough to judge that).
Same thing over here in the U.S. if I'm not mistaken first time you click the video you have to click a button for the trigger warning.
You should really check out Five finger death punch - "coming down" it's also got a really good message.
^ This
So glad your dad made it through. Thank him for doing his service, all the military deserves our respect.
As a veteran of 12 years and 2 deployments for me and most I'm still in touch with there's always a longing to go back despite what we went thru...I was a gunner for convoy escort and I've never felt normal since returning home and it contributed to my divorce after I returned. My kids give me purpose but not a day goes by that I dont wish I was back for some reason.
Thank you for your service and bravery.
Hooah, Brother! Feelin' you! Thinking of heading to Ukraine soon....
Thank you for your service and bravery.
@@TexasVeteranPatriot Slava Ukraini! Putin is the real Nazi. Zelinsky and his Prime Minister are both Jewish so we know who the Nazi is. My Grandfather and Grandmother left Ukraine in 1939 to come to America because Hitler was about to invade Poland. He left 3 weeks before the invasion of Poland! If not for that I'd have been born in Ukraine and probably suffering with my brethren. I wish I was physically able to defend Ukraine. If you do go do me a HUGE FAVOR - COME HOME ALIVE!
Semper Fi brother. Concentrate on those kids they are the only reason I'm still here. They are the best of us. Don't know how many times I've wanted to go back but my girls kept me here. And don't sweat the divorce I'm on divorce 3 right now (this one lasted 20 years before my girls told me to leave her). You are not alone reach out if you ever need to. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
Just in case no one knows (I'm old AF) FFDP is doing a cover from Offspring. Gone Away was their song originally and had a totally non military meaning. I love FFDP and this is awesome, especially to be dedicated to our military. ❤
82nd patch on the guys shoulder. This is the least we expect. Peace to my brothers.
Yeah, this one is another very powerful one that they've done. Thank you for doing this, and thank you for the shoutout to us vets... I lucked out in never being in a warzone, but so many of my siblings in arms DID... Much love and respect.
Ffdp always hits heavy the who serve in the army always love and respect 🙏 ❤
It’s amazing how different they made this song feel, it’s like the difference between nine inch nail’s song hurt and Jonny cash’s cover of it. Both amazing versions but such a different feeling
I'm a United States Navy veteran myself your dad is a hero
God Bless You , this is so hard to watch. Thank your dad for his service. My son is alive but he is a Police Officer with PTSD from being shot 3 times in a burglary call. He had to retire.
Got to listen to the OffSpring version
As an Army veteran myself, this video is like a rose, beautiful and stings simultaneously🌹🌹🌹
Thank you I’m 19 in the Army currently active duty infantry all the way🖤🤙🏾
Love y’all men and women out there putting your lives on the line for your country…MAD RESPECT!
I thought wrong side of Heaven pulled at the heart strings, this one did even more seeing the families left behind
The Offspring first played this song, when I lost my grandfather passed away, this played as we were taking him to his grave and I cany hear this version. He is the only person I would trade places with.
I Love with how much Heart you looking and Feeling the music.
Thanks for Sharing with us
Its interesting how the video shows so much about what happened to the one soldier.
How friends he had good times with, and he joined the service together with the same purpose in mind.
How all but him were killed in the convoy, and how much it was destroying him.
Then his realization that he get either keep feeling bad all the time, or he could stand back up and go back to the war he and his friends were in ...and keep fighting the battle they all pledged to each other and our country to fight.
When looking at the end of tut he video he gets out of the vehicle as we see some new recruits...
...very young men in the service.
It eludes to him being a seasoned soldier who will be helping the younger soldiers in ways only a seasoned combat soldier can.
The seriousness on his face, and the fear on theirs.
It's as if he was meant to go back to train them better on the battlefield, and be a mentor...not only a commander.
One might also(if one is religiously minded) note that it gives a renewal of spirit for him to return to finish what he and his friends went to fight for.
The video has quite a bit of forethought to it.
Very well written and performed.
I served the army also, thank you for your empathy for all my brothers and sisters across all branches
I'm 52 and during the Gulf War I was 20-21 yrs old and couldn't enlist because of health issues. But I can't honestly say if I could have that I would have. And because I couldn't it's obviously to easy for me to say that I would have. Anyone that enlists especially and literally during war time are literally volunteering to possibly die. Whatever anyones opinions are about war, all of our soldiers need to be supported and taken care of when they come home for putting there lives on the line to keep all of ours safe!! Thank you again for your reaction and thoughts about this.
I've been in for 18 years, and I wanted to say thank you. It's obvious you care. Keep doing what you do and God bless.
Always cherish your Dad.
Thank you for taking on these heart wrenching videos. It's not easy to think about what is actually happening with our enlisted military, the sacrifices they make, the sacrifices the families make. Please send your Father a very heart felt thank you from a fellow American!! We owe a great debt of gratitude to so many who we'll never know but were willing to, or worse yet gave their all for all of us!!
Thank you for everything you said, and I am also happy you still have your father. I served in Afghanistan as well. I was injured in a IED attack. Broke my back, fractured my spine, nearly snapped my neck, and more. I still have PTSD and life is hard, especially because i lived but my fellow sgt did not... People sacrifice alot, sometimes everything to try and make a better world. Its just nice to see such sacrifice appreciated.
The beginning is exactly what happened to a friend of mine. He was in a vehicle that hit an IED, just moments earlier a vehicle in front went right over it, where they hit it. My friend and 4 others were killed instantly.
My dream is to be like my uncle to be a Marine thank you for everyone putting the uniform on and serving our country
My brother is retired military and I'm thankful to not only have my best friend but my big brother home. He's told me some pretty dark things that I have kept a secret. But this song speaks the truth.
Thank you so much for acknowledging this.. it means a lot 🤙
My father is a Vietnam vet. I love the way you talk about the current situations that your own father has been in. My Dad only refers to Vietnam as the place he was.
This video hits so close to home.... yes I am a Desert Storm Vet as a Military Police K9 handler... however... the most unbelievable Veteran in the world, MY FATHER... was an officer in the Army, and delivered 383 notices... he knocked on that door too many times... he helped give 1016 of his brothers the respectful burial the so deserved... I love you Pops.
Citizens soldiers is a good group about the way a lot of veterans go through
My grandfathther has an border guard in Hungary in 1956 your father proud of you
If a song like this does not touch ur soul then u did not have 1 to begin with.
There was a movie called “Hurt Locker” I believe, starring Jeremy Reiner about the US army’s IED disposal unit. This song reminds me of that movie. Hits hard. 😔
hurt locker sucks major nuts. not even close to realistic
EOD
One my all time favorite movies. It deals with so much of what these brave men and women go through being deployed and coming back to being a citizen.
Great movie
Oh so you served in Iraq or Afghanistan? Obviously not. Movie is for civilians who wouldnt understand. Or be able to handle the reality. Movie is shit
I'm a former Marine, please thank your dad for his service. So many have given so much, Thank You for reacting to this on Memorial Day to honor the Servicemen & Servicewomen who gave to ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms and liberties.
Young lady, your dad has done an awesome job of instilling in you the sacrifices that the military does. As a veteran, I really respect young people like you. I have raised all three of my sons to respect the military and the flag for which they fight for. Thank you.
Please thank your dad for me. And thank you too! I can't even imagine what he has gone through. I can't even imagine what you have gone through!
I am so thankful for the men and women that put themselves in front of us and are willing to give their lives and mental capacity to protect us and our families.
Thank you so much!
As a former combat medic, and veteran in the second gulf war this song hits really close to home. I still struggle with thoughts of self destruction. I still struggle with substance abuse. I cry at times when it's inappropriate. I still seek pain and penance for the sins I committed. When you have time and distance you realize you weren't human then. You were an animal. Driven solely by survival. And you did what it took. But that makes it no easier I still seek pain...I still seek numbness, I still seek an end to it all. I go to therapy a few times a week. And you know you have guilt. You lived and they died. You have to fight for your place to live every fucking day. It's not easy.
Again as I stated before… this band is beyond their music for what they stand for and their appreciation for the men and women of our military and more. This is actually a cover from an Offspring song, and twisted in their own way FYI
respect to the band especially after living the dream. I loved the bad company cover. And i respect the feeling in this cover i just think this wasnt a good song for them to try to cover personally compaired to offspring.
I served in the Army and lost too many brothers and sisters in Arms in combat. Had a few close calls but I would do it all over again.
The emotion that you show in support of Us Vets is real. Thank You So Much. I have subscribed. 4 tours in Iraq leaves a mark on a person, and to see someone like you show So much love. Thank You...
So much respect for your dad and his service… All of the military veterans affected by their service… My heart goes out to you, and you have my enormous amount of love concern, and respect❤
I was in the Norwegian Special Forces and served in Afghanistan. I saw to of my fellow brothers get killed 10 m from me. Still tear a big hole in my Soul and leaves a empty space. Some nights are just terrible..
Waking up in a dark room , trying to get a hold of where you are while you have the feeling of the desert heat on the skin, the metallic taste of blood in your gums, the gun smoke feeling burning your eyes and adrenaline pumping like a mother F**KER
The big reason they do these videos and speak up about the issues veterans face is because the lead singer Ivan Moodey was in the Marines himself, so he has seen this first hand. They not only send out a powerful message but also donate a lot of their proceeds to veteran organizations. Great respect for them as a band and big respect to all the veterans.
We all owe so much to our military and I thank them all for their sacrifice. It's a shame how so many people in today's world don't even care or show them any respect. You are an honor to me and my family. Thank you that made it home and thank you to the families of our heroes that didn't make it home.
Remember Everything is a brilliant song as well! Very touching and heartfelt!
I love this song...
I dedicated it to the 19 men who died trying to save my life after the 2nd IED got me, then the medivac helo crashed after being shot down. The firefight when another helo came to rescue us....
You cannot imagine the trauma we, who survived, go thru everyday. Some of my parts left in Iraq, and brothers.. it's what's left over we vets have to deal with. Navy medic, 100% rated because of my injuries. 15 surgeries later, and least I can walk without a wheelchair.. Thanks for this.
Dan
You can never be emotionally ready for this song.. I've heard it thousands of time's and still can't fight the tears back..
We were on th ground. My. Brother . Saved. My. Life.
After watching the video of you, I just want to give you a hug and a squeeze and say "everything is okay."
You could see very quickly that this touches you emotionally. Relatively close to the beginning of the video was recognizable.
One of the most honest and heartfelt reviews of a great band. normally reactors just hop on hype trains for views but you could really feel the emotion in yours.
I'd never watched this video before and hearing your story about your dad brought tears to my eyes! I'm so glad that bomb didn't detonate too because nobody should have to go through that pain of losing someone they love let alone their father.
Come Down is so powerful with the message they give. like others, no one wants to talk about the subject but we need to. it is very powerful that you will cry, even grown men will shed a tear. this one is discussing PTSD. this needs to be talked about too but we dont.
as a vet myself this one hits home cus its alot of what im still dealing with even 20 years later it never leaves its always a struggle thank you for bringing it forward
Goosebumps and tears for all the brave people that risk they live for others.. And what is even sadder than some of them are just forgotten..😢😞 Really happy to hear about your dad being ok..😌
This one really hit for me. I heard it first on the radio and sometimes I like to think of a video I'd make for it when I'm listening to a song. For some reason, I imagined almost the exact music video they made. Blew my mind the first time I watched it...
I know I am the first comment you have had in a year, but I am an active duty 91B with H8 certs. The vehicles that I have pulled out I can not forget. I have feelings that I never thought could exist. I am broken….
I feel the pain because I lost my older brother when he was in Afghanistan. This video makes me cry every time because I miss him everyday and I wish that I could spend time with him one more time. I would give up everything just to see him for one full day. Thank u to this UA-camr for respecting her.
it's always helpful to see you're not the only one that's heavily affected by this. thank you for being here.
You're so emotional,, thank God for your Father,, God have mercy on the one's who gave it All. 🙏🙏🙏
It takes a special kind of person to enlist in any of the armed forces ...... i am so full of gratitude n respect for our protectors ...... thank you 🙏🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇬🇧
Tell your father that a 57th Rescue Squadron member says hi. And thank you for another beautiful reaction.
Thank you Aileen for your honest words and showing these types of videos. I am a Vet. I never stepped foot in a war zone. I was in the Navy conducting intelligence collection by listening to communications of our own troops. The job was to find possible ways our enemies could get info from our own force communications. That being said, I listened to communications that would horrify people. I have been suicidal. I now have PTSD where all those voices just start going off in my head. I honestly would not change anything I have done because I believe I was doing what was right. As I write this comment, I have tears running down my cheeks. I am so grateful for people like you making sure our communities know what Vet's go through and are going through. Thank you Aileen and most importantly "Thank you to your Father for his service".
Continuing to show support to the veteran community speaks volumes. I don't understand the hate for 5FDP. You're doing a great thing discussing this as well and it's refreshing to see. I agree, we need more voices on this for sure!
Survivors Remorse…vey real…it’s been 35yrs…and still going strong…
This song has gotten me through so much. One of the things I love about music is that it isn't limited when it comes to what you can apply the message/lyrics etc. to. For me personally I haven't lost anyone who was deployed or anything like that, but this song helped/still helps me deal with my cousin's death (along with too many others). He was exactly two months younger than me and struggled with addiction like I did. A few years ago he went into a coma that he never woke up from he passed about a month or so later. He had a son with an ex who was about 3 at the time and at the funeral I was sitting closer to the back with my parents and his son who was with the mother was standing in the back behind all of the pews. I heard his son asking the mother "Where is dad? I want to play with dad." it broke my heart that this little boy is now going to have to grow up without his father. I struggle with survivors guilt because of this and the line "Please let me trade, I would" is something that I relate to, if not for my cousin's sake but for that little boy.
R.I.P. Anthony M. 03/13/1991-02/07/2019 Love you cus.
A couple quick points of information:
It was never said what caused him to go into the coma, at least not to extended family, and we didn't ask
He seemed to be doing fine the last I had heard before he went into the coma, that being said he struggled on and off with relapse so who knows
Have to fully agree 👍 I'm a uk Veteran. My son served in Afghanistan. Also I attended a good friend's funeral this week. Music is the best form of emotional expression and can say it all.
i hate how late this is. and i hate that im only finding you now. thank you one american to another who has the utmost love and respect for every man and woman that fights for this country. thank you to your father for the service he has given.
Good Men need to stay at home and protect their Homelands where their valor and bravery belongs Stop Fighting for False Flag Wars and Fight for Family and your Home on Home ground
Thank you this means alot my brother is currently still active duty but he did 3 tours in iraq and he does tell me stories of his expieriences and what he had to encountoer over there it is heartbreaking so im with u sister
It’s nice to see a heart felt thank you.a lot just say the words.i served eight years in the Marines and Desert Storm combat veteran.the hardest job in the military is the ones who notify the family of the death.
We fight for the brothers at our side and losing them changes you.i lost two brothers and still to this day I struggle with it.
One of my favorite songs ever,your such a bea6younglady,your emotions make me shed a tear as well.Godbless girl
Thank you, for lifting this up. I'm not from the US but I served in Afghanistan and to this day I still struggle with the memories and the pictures. I'm glad to be alive after being shot while our patrol was ambushed on a mission. Stay safe and thank your father.
As a vet of a bunch of combat tours, thank you. Your reaction was heartfelt, and, well, good to watch. As for the video, one thing that gets me, that I’ve never heard commented upon, is the metal bracelets the surviving character is wearing at the end of the video. They’re Memorial Bands, one band for each of his lost friends. The fact that he’s wearing 3 of them is significant, and the video does it right by showing the Soldiers immediately react to them. Finally, thank you for your concern about our treatment back in society. Honestly, I’ve been genuinely thanked more times than I can count. Personally, I feel there comes a point where the burden is on us to figure out how to share our experiences with those we love. Thank you!
It's very rare that I feel a remake is better than the original, even though the Offspring version is great, this would be one of those times.
Nope
Their other song, wrong side of heaven made me weep like a baby.
