Bugs were harmed in the making of this video. Didn’t you see the disclaimer?

THEY CANT FEEL IT CAUSE THEY ARE DEAD!

[@janerik5997]

They will once i dive.

[@ouroboros3055]

This has some SICK ASS ACDC Vibes, loving it

[@jonathanymusic]

That's what I was aiming for! Watch the songwriting video 😇

[@codyherod3036]

its like a blend of Kiss and AC/DC

[@ouroboros3055]

@@jonathanymusic Will do :)

[@unrulybot1352]

Was about to say this sounds like classic rock

[@xchargex16]

i would say more like Airbourne but yeah same vibe

[@Shadow_The_Glitch]

"Bugs were harmed in the making of this video" Hell yeah brother

SPILL OIL 🫡😤

[@xdgayadose2876]

​@jonathanymusic Could you make a song about Eagle-1, I think a huge number of people would love that, just try not to make it a love song 😂

[@GBomb9704]

Harmed in the name of MANAGED DEMOCRACY!!

[@BobTheArchmage]

I misread that as "Bugs were HAMMERED in the makimg of this video." So for a moment I thought they were gettimg drunk lol

[@thetruegoldenknight]

@@jonathanymusicSemper Bellum! Wait, wrong reference!

[@RichaadEB]

fun fact jon originally requested my solo to end at 3:59 but i just decided to keep playing well past the ending of the song. you're not even hearing the full solo

[@jonathanymusic]

i accidentally cut the video off too short LMAO don't worry it will be fixed for spotify!!!!

[@thediabolo4421]

Amazing solos, Democracy thanks you!

[@nathanparsley5367]

Could it be fixed on KZbin as well? I use KZbin most of the time and would love to hear the rest of that banger solo!

[@mistermine8018]

@@jonathanymusic Any time idea on the spotify release?

[@benjaminstiles]

@@nathanparsley5367if he fixes it for the major release on all platforms, you will be able to get that version on KZbin and KZbin music, it will just be the song version, not this video version

[@MayBeSomething]

Helldivers - We Are The Helldivers Automotons - The Fall of Malevalon Creek Termanids - Pesticide And that is - and will be - all of the factions. THE BLUE LIGHTS ARE A LIE! (But if they weren't, surely Jonathan Young makes a song about us curb-stomping them, too.)

[@yaboyscottay]

Next we need a song about Pelican/Eagle 1 + the Super Destroyers or something along those lines. Complete circle.

[@GhaleonStrife]

@@yaboyscottay That's what I was thinking. Give Eagle 1 a song titled "Angel of Democracy" or something similar.

[@trmmythias]

I can't wait for the song about Sony

[@sethraelthebard5459]

I am hoping when the illuminate appear we'll get a song that is synth metal.

[@glitchdrno3450]

ive come from the future to say it does

[@fremmie_]

"GIMME THAT PESTICIDE, CLEAR THAT NEST OR DIE" That chorus goes hella hard.

Should I do a full album? 👀

"It it burns and it bleeds then, it can sure as hell fucking die" goes so hard

Predator reference!

This is becoming an album and I'm fucking HERE FOR IT!

[@davidfriend6462]

Sweet liberty to my ears.

[@BowChkaH0nkH0nk]

My dad actually thought this was an ACDC song. Dad rock achieved

[@TruthKeepersOfficialHD2]

Imma try this for myself

[@Nushnark]

I can totally see this in a recruitment video for the helldivers. Just the right amount of cheesy lyrics to be absolutely legendary.

[@shadowking981]

Gotta love the AC/DC AND KISS vibes this song gives

[@HubrQ]

also kinda Bon Jovi

[@СоюзниксОкинавы]

On stream Jonathan Young said that he want to hear some "boomer metal vibes".

[@FenixNade]

@@СоюзниксОкинавы I hate that I can acknowledge this

[@josephurbanich7344]

I mainly hear AC/DC and Def Lepard

[@hauvrichunter2488]

Some motley crue in there too

[@darkcheetah9448]

I think the best part about these songs is that somewhere out there, is a wild Jonathan Young playing helldivers along with us

[@jayleeridon8116]

My man here a true Pillar of Managed Democracy! I got this playing on My Super Destroyers loud speakers

[@mr.silver5476]

Wish this was a thing in game FR.

[@timothygottlieb2013]

You mean your orbital sonic emanator right. if your going to play music the whole damn planet better be listening along.

[@zeldacrafter4578]

thank you twitch chat for "PUT A ROCKET IN SOME CHARGER CHEEKS"

[@conarteest2939]

You've got no clue how hype I would be if these were added to the game's official soundtrack. This is what, the 4th so far? We boutta have a whole album on our hands here, and I can't wait. They all go so damn hard.

[@jonkerrmusic]

Someone alert the devs - if Jon can get DLC music for Ragnarock, we can pray for HD2 OST additions

[@Nihil-2005]

"Galactikraken - Death Captain" He plays the game! Crush the bugs into dust Helldiver!

[@luckyrowmax]

These Helldiver songs deserve their own album!!!

[@HappyHog11]

I love that Jon has now twice posted both him making the song and the song, and then later the song itself. Smart man must know he’s writing such bangers that we’re happily gonna watch both over and over again.

[@laurelmcneilly741]

That's pretty much what we all do anyway.

[@xaviro758]

Just never thought an ACDC/KISS style rock song would go so hard for this game. But it absolutely does and I am so glad you thought of it Jonathan, and I am excited for this to release on apple music. Id love to hear something almost Motley Crue style next, if you wanted a suggestion.

[@liamtieszen7859]

Make Jonathan young the bridge commander NPC in Helldivers.

[@jonkerrmusic]

500% Democracy play

[@Extraordinarylurker]

I kinda want to see a ingame event where we fight to protect a concert where this, or some of his other songs are playing. Maybe do it for some in game holiday.

[@jonathanymusic]

[@YourNeighborhoodJackass1917]

Yes.

[@RedMenace446]

I'm feeling some strong 80s hair band Vibes with this

[@LJCyrus1]

I don't know why, but I always enjoy how the salutes are in time with the music, starting at 00:12

[@PRINCEofNONE]

“Gonna go for a ride”: hops in a mech and immediately starts blasting. Great edit.

[@shenadren1419]

Absolutely love the 80s hair band Style with this one! Give me that pesticide!!

[@williamwray2522]

Apparently Sony was next in line.

[@SGTGallows]

Showed this song to my kids by happenstance while playing (they love watching me dive). Now they request it by name at least once a day and sing along with it. I'm raising the next generation of Helldivers, apparently. FOR DEMOCRACY.

[@ivartheboneless7308]

My favorite theory is that each of the helldivers songs that Jonathan has put out are by a different in universe band. The fall of malevelon creek is super earth sabaton Pesticide is their equivalent of AC/DC

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

You just know this is what's blaring out of the beat-up radio in every garage with nude calendars on the grungy walls, all over Super Earth's dominion. Well done!

[@sethraelthebard5459]

I can actually see that. I can see this playing in some backwater desert planet garage, where a bunch of old veteran divers are tuning up a salvaged but lovingly tended cadre of Patriot mechs.

[@dominikbeimfohr3770]

We need a new song over the victory against Sony.

[@noblehamblin5410]

I got an ad for bug spray at the end of the video!!! 😂❤❤❤

[@OctoFox867]

(Bugs were harmed in the making of this video) is golden

i swear the direction the lyrics takes is fire. would laugh if the next songs gonna be about eagle 1

0:50 Didnt know flying bugs were a thing until yesterday. Them suddenly appearing at the end of a mission was awesome!

Your songs were the final convincing I needed to pick up Helldivers 2 and join the war effort. Now I'm level 25 and fighting for the liberation of Hellmire. Long live Super Earth and managed democracy

NEW SONG NEEDED!!! TITLE "WE DIVE TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL"

[@chaseryans4808]

Absolutely love the classic rock, AC/DC style of this!

[@Doc-Blitzkrieg]

The chill I got up my back at 1:16 was fucking euphoric, holy shit that is awesome lyric crafting.

[@irystocrattakodachithatmooms]

I love the AC/DC inspiration in this, immediately reminded of them with the opening.

[@Error-5478]

I was going insane thinking you'd parodied another song... but no, you just absolutely nailed the 80's vibe.

[@briancrooks5982]

Oh the three, this one hits the hardest!! Total 80’s/90’s power ballad, very AC/DCish 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

[@ImperialKnight770]

*GOOOOOD MORNING SUPER EARRTH!!* This song goes out to our boys on the Terminid front providing us folks back home with element 710 as well as their brothers and sisters in arms on the Automaton front. Here's "Pesticide"! (starts blasting music)

[@HaroldYost-s2z]

you are hands down my favorite singer. I do a lot of karaoke and I take so much inspiration from you

[@majormetcalf1225]

I love that each Helldivers song is a different style of rock.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

You're a legend Jonathan! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Miro_X]

Of the 3 Helldiver songs you've done so far, I genuinely think this is the best one so far.

[@zekeiyf2003]

Classic hard rock, this is the vibe!

[@pkmnmastertash]

I can't even put to words how much this song speaks to my hair metal loving, bug slaughtering, liberty dispensing heart. Hell yeah

[@DavidSmith-rb8fp]

My Helldivers extraction playlist is coming together nicely with all these absolute bangers.

[@MopsMoppe]

This is definitely my favorite song out of my “Favorite Songs” bunch. If you ever make a song about the bots, maybe start it off with a newbie that just graduated from the bugs and moved on to their first bot mission, only to realize that they totally underestimated them and begins to become more panicked throughout the song. A song built from the meme where the Sargent brings his excited Rookie friends into an unexpected hell.

[@Weolyn]

😂😂😂😂

[@lilbleat7398]

I fucking love this. Please PLEASE start touring again 🤘🔥💯

[@Sytheking]

Given the (May 1st, 2024) failure of the Terminid Control System, I Get a strong feeling that this'll be blaring from the speakers of a *lot* of Helldivers in the coming days. Excellent song!

[@Zabor-ny3co]

My dream is for AH to make some collaboration with Jonathan Young for have these songs playing on the ships. Dropping on Oshaune while hearing "Pesticide" would get me hyped asf

[@keyulp]

I will be so disappointed if these songs dont become a full album. They give me the strength to continue my crusade for Managed Democracy

[@thelittlestmig3394]

Sad thing is you will never top this. Good thing is neither will they. This is damn fine. This is the tops of the tops.

[@onyxknight320]

Jon here becoming a DJ with ANOTHER ONE FOR THE CREEK

[@Mike_Romeo]

Cant believe they actually made a warbond around that song.

[@Shy_foxxo]

Listening to this i helped, cause i got over 500 bug kills last mission and my teammates nearly 400, helldive against bugs with this rocks.

[@GibMoarRam]

Was the ship's warp in sound used at 0:18? If so that's a subtle add and I love it

[@jessymeowlight5660]

Now we need a 4th one! We Dive Together or We Don't Dive.

[@zflatliner2786]

I could literally listen to this song on loop for hours - and the other songs are just as great .. please make a full kickass album please!

[@Troylewe]

With the new Chemical Agent Warbond... You better believe that I will have this Sick Song on Repeat! Spray and Justify!

[@Gmh-]

Hell yeah

[@Kinsmarck]

Jon told us what he was going for in the 'making of' video for this song, and god damn it is UNCANNY how well he nailed the vibe he described. This man is a genius and patriot of the highest order.

[@boonethegoon2244]

BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER, KEEP THIS UP MAN HOLY SHIT

[@wolfyboy]

I REALLY hope the devs make this Canon! Like "humanities favourite band" and play your music in game, like on the destroyer as a commercial or from a radio. That would be DOPE!

[@aeliapanoowau1719]

please give us a whole album of helldivers songs, they've been fuckin amazin so far

[@zinoneus3733]

Been gone for about a month taking care of my grandpa, cant wait to spread democracy soon and being back on the front!

[@Shazbotacus]

Gotta get at least one song on that album about our victory over Sony, lol

[@SillyPC]

That was just a delay. They haven't removed regions from the no sale list and they only said that the PSN account won't be required with THAT update. Nothing about how they won't jam it in a few days after or with the next update. They gave you an inch so you would stay and are waiting for you to stop watching so they can take that inch back along with a foot or two.

[@aydeeaychdee]

The power of this song gave me chills the entire time I listened. Hand me a flamethrower, I got bugs to burn!

[@flinzlogik]

This song is such a banger! I'll be diving to this one on repeat for sure!

[@wertloswertlos4654]

One for the Helldivers, one to remember the Creek, one against the bugs. Now we need one to celebrate the defeat of our most powerful foe yet, Sony.

[@Fee501st]

This is freaking amazing! I love it so much! and its stuck in my head! Thank you guys so much!

[@Zepoliziotto]

this is easily the hardest song you've made for Helldivers so far. it sounds like a beautiful mix between ACDC and Metallica and a touch of Creedence Clearwater Revival

[@Hadfield15]

Gonna be listening to this as we dive to the Meridian Supercolony to deploy the Dark Fluid! Let’s do this, Helldivers!

[@AngryTheGnome]

Was that a hint of Freebird at 3:37? Nice

[@dratuz125]
