Rise Against

Brandon Barnes is married and has a daughter.

All of them.

Bands such as: Smoking Popes, Anti-Flag, Bad Brains, and also some influences from thrash metal (coming from band member Zach Blaire)

"Savior" by Rise Against is about feeling overwhelmed by personal struggles and searching for direction or meaning in life. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and a longing for someone or something to help overcome difficult circumstances. It also touches on themes of inner strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

Tell me what I'm supposed to do

With all these leftover feelings for you

'Cause I don't know

And tell me how I'm supposed to feel

When all these nightmares become real

'Cause I don't know

And I don't think

You see

The places inside me that I find you

And I don't know

How we

Separate the lies here from the truth

And I don't know how we

Woke up one day and somehow thought we knew

Exactly what we're supposed to do

[Chorus]

So leave me

At the roadside

And hang me

Up and out to dry

So leave me

At the roadside

And hang me

Up and out to dry

And I don't think

You see

The places inside me that I find you

And I don't know

How we

Woke up one day and somehow though we knew

Exactly what we're supposed to do

[Chorus]

So leave me

At the roadside

And hang me

Up and out to dry

So leave me

At the roadside

And hang me

Up and out to dry

'Cause I don't think

You see

The places inside me that I find you

And I don't know

How we

Woke up someday and somehow thought we knew

Exactly what we're supposed to do

Exactly what to do...

Yes, they do curse in some of their songs. Some songs in which they curse are Survive and Rumors of My Demise. There may more that I just haven't listened to.

kjb

basically its about growing up in life, losing friends and loved ones...working hard to keep them but in the end we arent able to keep and we lose parts of our life forever

Maybe try Foo Fighters, Skillet, Three Days Grace, KoRn.

Fight for what you love

Yes they are. Since they got Zach Blair they have been together, and I don't see them breaking up anytime soon.

No

Tim loves to wear back or green shirts and narrow black jeans. He's fav. shoes are black Vans.

He said, "Son,

Have you see the world?

Well, what would you say

If I said that you could?

Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."

I said, "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots

Spit-shined so bright

They cut off my hair but it looked alright

We marched and we sang

We all became friends

As we learned how to fight

A hero of war

Yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home

They'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Because it's flag that I love

And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door

I yelled my commands

The children, they cried

But I got my man

We took him away

A bag over his face

From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes

They pissed in his hands

I told them to stop

But then I joined in

We beat him with guns

And batons not just once

But again and again

A hero of war

Yeah that's what I'll be

And when I come home

They'll be damn proud of me

I'll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Because it's flag that I love

And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze

I asked her to stop

I begged her to stay

But she pressed on

So I lifted my gun

And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke

And into the sand

That the blood now had soaked

She collapsed with a flag in her hand

A flag white as snow

A hero of war

Is that what the see

Just medals and scars

So damn proud of me

And I brought home that flag

Now it gathers dust

But it's a flag that I love

It's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world? Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

Tim McIlrath

Brandon Barnes

No, grow some balls and listen to real music.

It is about fair trade with foreign countries, if you watch the music video it explains it pretty well.

I really want to know this aswell

judging from what I've seen (shows and interviews) he looks around 5'9

Rise Against is my favorite band, and I've watched so many interviews from them. From what I have seen, read, and developed an opinion on, they are VERY MUCH pro life. But I'm telling you this based upon other political views I have read, and seen Tim McIlrath talk about. In the song, Generation Lost, Tim sings, "Ignore the pleading of the nameless faces" nameless faces that are in the womb. In "Blood red white and blue" Tim screams, "would God bless the murder of the innocents" Now this is up for interpretation (Iraq is another view) but could be of the innocent babies that are been killed. Not to mention that Tim and Barnes have a kid (not sure about the others)

Fight for what you love and keep going

Just the distortion from a Marshall JCM 900 amp (they don't use distortion pedals).

They don't. All of them are drug-free, except for Brandon (drummer) who occasionally drinks. I got the answer in Hawaii talking to them in the hotel they were at.

they are "straight edge" so definitly not

The wheel was invented long ago and has many uses. Most large water pipes that can be hand operated have a valve with a wheel attached to open and close the valve. Water has always been the most necessary compound to support life. Water sources were often controlled by the owner of the property and sold or dealt to others at the will of the owner. In the instance of the term "Wheeling and Dealing" it is derived from the use of a wheel, often at the top of a penstock, to control the flow of water down stream. The owner of the water would make a deal for the water and control the flow with the wheel.

The "ghost in the machine" is the British philosopher Gilbert Ryle's description of René Descartes' mind-body dualism. The phrase was introduced in Ryle's book The Concept of Mind(1949) to highlight the perceived absurdity of dualist systems like Descartes' where mental activity carries on in parallel to physical action, but where their means of interaction are unknown or, at best, speculative.
