Rise Against

Oddly enough, the last topic closed back in 2006...yeah, anyway, Rise Against is an awesome rock-like band and one of my favorites, my first song to hear by them being "Survive" in WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2007 ^_^.

Discuss this band and your favorite songs and CD's by them. I dunno, this is my first thread posted :yelling:

My favorites that I know of by them are "Prayer of the Refugee", "Drones", "Injection", "Paper Wings", "Ready To Fall", "The Good Left Undone", "Everchanging"...I could go on XD

Edit:

Forgot to mention some info on Rise Against and politics (intelligent comments only please). All of the band's members are vegetarians and the band is an active supporter of PETA, and, recently, the band posted a bulletin on Myspace about a victory in treatment of chickens raised and killed for KFC's products. This band actually cares about nature and stuff, so you gotta give them some respect for not just being another rock band ^_^

 

I was wondering where that topic went.

Anyhoo, yeah, I have to thank the radio for exposing me to Rise Against. Turned me around from LP.

 

I got introduced to them by Tony Hawk's Underground, with Like the Angel.

But yeah, they're amazing. I own all of their CD's to date, aside from This is Noise. But I love them so. My favorite songs by them are Everchanging, their cover of Jawbreaker's Tour Song, The Approaching Curve, Survive, Behind Closed Doors, Torches, Swing Life Away, Faint Resemblance, Great Awakening, Weight of Time, Last Chance Blueprint, Like the Angel, ... Oh, I could go on forever.

 

I think the first time i had heard them was watching "Swing Life Away" on mtv or vh1 and the like, and i really really like that song. I've liked almost all the songs i've heard from them so far, but i've yet to buy one of their cd's. (jobless-ness sucks)

 

my favourite song is 'Prayer of the Refugee' its on my playlist and one of my fave GH songs to play

 

You gotta love Rise Against.

I love their songs. Specially: Give It All, Ready To Fall, Like The Angels, Prayer Of The Refugee

 

They are a great band. When I first them I confused them with Hundred Reasons. They both have very similar vocal styles and I heard of them both at the same time. XD For example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFtSqsEhsIw

I've seen them live twice now. The first time was good, but it was obvious they were tired. But I saw them last weekend at the Download Festival, and they were much better and full of energy.

I only have 2 of their albums and some of their older songs. My favourite album from them is 'The Sufferer and the Witness' so many songs from that album I love. Last year on a trip I listened to Chamber the Cartridge on repeat for like 4 hours. XD

My favourite songs are Chamber the Cartridge, State of the Union and Ready to Fall

 

I love this band. My favorite songs are "Prayer of the Refugee" (which is also an awesome GH song), "Ready To Fall", and "The Good Left Undone".

A-mazing.

 

That guy does sound similar to Tim McIlrath 0_o

Well, the younger Tim. He has a less "dirty" vocal style now.

 

I only like The Sufferer And The Witness, really. All the songs on that album are great. I love Roadside and The Good Left Undone most. <3

I've seen them live once, they put on an awesome show!

 

Misty introduced me to them. I guess I was living under a rock before then. . . Anyway, The Good Left Undone, Torches (I like the intro), and Survive would have to be my favorites. Trigger got to see them live. Lucky Duck.

 

Great news Rise Against fans :D

The band's newest album, "Appeal to Reason", is scheduled to be released on October 7th.

The first single from the album, "Re-Education Through Labor", has been released.

Youtube Link

If anybody requests, I can link to you guys to download the song.

 

I can't wait for the new album. Being a long time Rise Against fan, I'm happy to hear that this song sounds a bit like a blend between The Good Left Undone-The Unraveling (song and album)- and But Tonight we Dance. I hope they go back to the sound they established in The Unraveling, with a blend of what they had in Sufferer.

 

New song was posted a few days ago called "Collapse (Post-Amerika)", from their new album "Appeal to Reason"

Youtube link for "Collapse"

Edit: Actually, I've found 2 more songs off their new album: "Entertainment" and "Whereabouts Unknown"

Youtube link for "Entertainment"

Youtube link for "Whereabouts Unknown"

If you'd like the MP3's, just ask me ^_^

 

*flails around*
Excellent...I love Rise Against, and I don't think I can pick any one favorite song because I like most of them. xD
But the ones I usually listen to are:
The Good Left Undone
Ready to Fall
Swing Life Away
Like the Angel
Life Less Frightening
Prayer of the Refugee

Though Prayer of the Refugee is kinda mainstreamed now because of Guitar Hero III. >_>;;

 

I guess their album leaked. I wouldn't think all these songs would be out. |: I'll resist 'till it comes. I'M SO EXCITED.

By the way, Wolfie, you must buy their other CD's! You're missing some treasures. :3

 

I don't have all their CDs for the same reason I still don't have KotOR. xDD

Oh yeah, do you have the original version of Swing Life Away? Like...the non-Punk Goes Acoustic version?

 

Yes. ;3

Buy the god damn CD's. Soooo many great songs. But if I decide to go on MSN I'll send it to you. Or if you prefer AIM. >:3

 

SOMEONE around here got me listening to them :3

They're pretty good (:3 I've been whoring out "Under The Knife" now but most of my favorites are:

The Good Left Undone
Swing Life Away
Ready to Fall
Prayer Of The Refugee
Behind Closed Doors

 

Buy Republic Commando. 3:

I'll add you on both. xD

I really should look and see which of their songs I have. ^^;;

Ahurhur, who would that be? O:

I agree with four of your five favorites, only because I haven't listened to Behind Closed Doors yet. 8D
