VOLBEAT SHARES INCREDIBLE STORY BEHIND "DEAD BUT RISING"

Volbeat singer Michael Poulsen shares the inspirational story behind their new hit "Dead But Rising" and he added that the late Elvis Presley.

[@albalmal]

Reading the lyrics after watching this clip gave me goosebumps. Already loved the song but this gave it new life.

[@CraigCbestguitaristintheworld]

his talking voice and his singing voice are so different!

[@jessebeeghly3608]

Craig C It's crazy how when foreign musicians sing in English they sound like they were born in the US. But he also sings a lot higher than you would think. The 2016 rock am ring show was an hour and 40 mins long, but he could still sing with power in his voice on the last song. Amazing vocalist.

[@melina_m9123]

You think so?

[@matthewg8898]

@@jessebeeghly3608 Same thing with Serj Tankian from System Of A Down, he was born in Lebanon and raised in the US and he speaks English with an Armenian accent, that's why Michael's speaking voice sounds different from his singing voice, same with Serj, even Ozzy too

[@scott.gallantssn6466]

The music rocks but his english is horrible when he sings

[@k-star9957]

@@scott.gallantssn6466 Is that so?

[@abigaildiamond5736]

Very inspirational story michael, I understand he also got the clippings of grass from Elvis grave and put them in his father's grave. ;). Poulsen has such a big heart, such an admirable man.

One of the most bad ass intros of all time in my opinion.....

[@zaxthedestroyer675]

My dad passed away on November 29th of 2022. I've dreamt of him visiting me, and we talk and always share a hug. This song means so much to me.

[@Saritam2011]

That is soo touching! Dead but Raising was my favorite song before I heard this story but now its my Favorite of Favotites! ❤❤❤❤

Accidentally clicked, glad I stayed. Such a touching story

[@daviddelano-oakes1082]

That's the best meaning behind a song I've ever heard thank you Michael

[@jakobgodinho9945]

Wow that's an amazing story... I just went to a concert (my first concert) to see volbeat and it was awesome. Can't wait for their newest album "Seal The Deal and Let's Boogie" it'll be great!

[@steve5662]

what a great story. we all suffer... brushig your fahters hair and beard and leaving that comb with Elvis was a gesture that cant be out done.. I lost my brother almost a year ago, seeing him lying there on the table was the worst thing I have ever seen but he died on the way to see him, so I had to see him. We all go through this life suffereing the loss of others... its hard but its also something that should bring us all together as we all go through it and know what its like. Bless you Mike...

[@giovannicollazo-cruz2193]

[@rachelbishop892]

I get this song in everyway. My grandfather that was my best friend and mentor. I held his head in my arms as he stroked. Then he gave me a message before he passed. I also fixed his hair in the coffin. They had it combed all stupid. He still pumped his white hair. Dead but Rising....

[@dospiggy3623]

Whenever he said comb, it sounded like he said cum. I love the song and its a touching story.

[@markthomasgazel]

He saying "kam" - the danish word for comb.

[@zackthomas5707]

Thats awesome man. One of my favorite songs! I've ran the trace many times listening to this song on repeat. 50mph speed zone the whole way, but I can't help but do 80 or 90 with this song playing. Natchez to Jackson in an hour Lol Thank God for radar detectors

[@bryanhiltibidal380]

Great tunes no matter which way you turn

[@mrschwahoogle]

I couldn't focus on his words due to the smoke alarm badly in need of a new battery.

Artisan news article . That guy is the best man

[@azedk418]

He actually told this story, ina danish talkshow back in 2010 i think!

[@eddieberntsen5788]

What kinda person goes to a foreign place, loses navigation, and decides to follow an eagle? A f*cking rockstar. That's who. 😎

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

"Kam" is danish for "comb".

It wasn't his dad, it was my dad, who is still alive. Difficult for the eagle type the words. words.

I hand fed an wild bald eagle a fish and was one of the most memorable wildlife experiences.

Awwww shit *cries in ugly*

[@dave1uofm]

Just wish this band would stop with the devil worship stuff. It's almost in every song!

[@abysslordgaming1144]

great story......the drugs are strong with this one! constantly grabbing his nose lol

[@cj_m8811]

abyss lord he's never done drugs. actually same goes for rob. some people,just have ticks on certain situations

[@abysslordgaming1144]

So I say you know this guy personally?

[@cj_m8811]

He's talked about this in another interview.

[@Andrea1542]

I take it your nose has never just been itchy.

[@lovelexi19]

He gets nervous in interviews I believe, touching face and rubbing hands like he does is anxiety, supposedly has a claming effect for the majority of people (according to the Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI) but I can see how people would think drugs, shame it's such an epidemic.
