"Like the Angel" by Rise Against

Here is Rise Against playing at Chain Reaction in Anaheim CA in July 2003. Wish you all could have been there. Yes, even you ugly fans. Totally different lineup, eh? The camera I used for this video got stolen from me a few weeks later while I was on vacation. Lucky for me I took the tape out first. Enjoy it you punks.

[@puci11]

Most impactful and favorite band of my life. Sadly first time I saw them live was in early 2010s, after their most punkish era. I'd die to be there few years earlier. I use to hate people for recording during concerts, but then I realize that thanks to them we have archives like this. Just do it from the back rows and away from the pit.

[@Ellia-ii2]

His shrug once the chick came. 😂 top notch!

[@Wouter6431]

At 2:17 , Tim doesn't give a damn that some girl takes his mic, at 02:25 , when the guy is trying to repare his mic and it falls down, they both laugh about it! That is why we love them! That is how they are, and how there music is.. Honnest and personal, and it goes without saying.. the best band ever!

[@Shadyxwade]

his face at 0:44 when he realizes everyone knows the lyrics 🥺🖤

[@asumisawada2330]

i love him

[@scotthughes3721]

Definitely. Plus the shrug at 2:16 when a woman from the audience decides that she should be the leader singer. Tim's personality really came through during this performance. Not minding the mic, stand, or stagehand issues at all. Hopefully more RA fans search through their older stuff too.

[@37SATS]

Its my favorite song from them. Tony Hawks Underground was where i found these guys back in 2003

[@cthar86]

i was at this show. my friend pops up crowd surfing a few times. they were so amazing that night.

[@PazHimself]

That’s dope! Do you know when this was?

[@zaccorpseman7366]

Man.. They were so young, look at Tim's young face

[@svegaldde]

that move at 2:16 "ha I don't care" :D

[@Recovery_Station]

2:15 I love how that girl's having time of her life😍

[@knockout3630]

Tim probably has the greatest voice I’ve ever heard he can sing the dictionary or the abc’s and I would love it

[@polarjacob3294]

Super underrated group, more people should talk about them, I love you Rise Against!!!!! ❤

[@37SATS]

This puts such a big smile on my face

[@earl_raymond]

this moment was perfect. seems like literally everyone in that room was singing!

[@paperthincody]

They didn't get big by choice like most bands. Tim himself said he'd rather play shows like this. He hates that two or three of there songs went really big. All they same, they are amazing and deserve all the respect they get. Most bands that get half as big as they are sell out. They are as original and true to their fans as they were in 2003

[@ali8roc]

I would kill to see em in a venue like this! They've gotten so big now.

[@asumisawada2330]

and now they got nominated for the iheart radio music awards!!

[@37SATS]

Wow. This became one of my favorite songs after hearing it on tony hawks underground back in 2003.

[@ultime321]

Although this was recorded with a potato you can feel the energy and how good of a performance this was. I wish i liked them/was old enough when they were doing basement shows.

[@phillipsmith2136]

Was at this show many years ago. Loved em every since.

[@melodicmarc]

Todd is amazing!!! He has chris's skill and zach's energy. I don't know which one I like better between him and chris, but I would of killed to see either of them in concert.

[@TheDancingForRain]

I just had to replay 2:00 till the end for like 10+ times. Thanks for making my day.

[@Dopex92]

Thank you so much for uploading this, never, never a band will touch my heart like this!

[@stark1987]

the worlds being taken over by pop singers and techno, keep our music alive boys

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

Unfortunately Rise Against joined pop with Appeal to Reason in 2008.

[@dustinbarker378]

@@AlmostaFlipinSkater nowhere near pop dude what are you talking about xD

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

@@dustinbarker378 it's most definitely pop lol

[@Chris-yz7cs]

Rise against are one of the very few bands I've ever seen live that sing TO the crowd and not FOR the crowd

[@Chris-yz7cs]

Against

[@Tankeenify]

What a fucking time

[@Im_eNVy]

:o So, you can run up on stage and sing a song with the band without being thrown face first back into the crowd back in the day? Geez, I wish I wasn't too young, I had no sense of musical purpose back then :(

[@GuuppariV2]

tony hawk underground 1 !!

[@ZetsubouZolo]

this...must...be...heaven...

[@colcol599]

Lmao near the end there is mic got so fucked up, the chick took it from him and he just shrugged his shoulders and right as he gets it back the guy lowers it and he starts laughing

[@laugh0at0you]

Lol, the random girl at 2:17, and Tim is like "Lol, okay.." Then the stand messes up and Tim is like "Wtf? Whateva."

[@NicholasB1224]

Damn wish I went to a show like that.

[@hodycan]

My band is going to be covering this same song at the same venue on the same spot Rise Against stood years ago before they were really big. FUCKING EPIC! :D

[@bartekc9920]

man that shit at the end with the microphone cracked me tf up

[@MuadDibPC121]

Perfect. Just perfect.

[@thecalmboi4236]

This sparks joy

[@tipthescales1984]

Haha, this is a great, I love that Tim just shrugs it off

[@wazzie88]

revs per minute, the best days of Rise Against

[@aWhimTested]

@melodicmarc yeah i liked todd's playing too, RPM had really cool weird backward power chords and variations within chords, all over the album. i don;t know if he was as good a backing vocal as chris or zach though

[@alanihawaii123]

@masterspeed94: Yeah....gotta love the little "ah whatever, our fans are crazy anyway" shrug. XD

[@kevinfinnerty3805]

Great Song

[@borisloris9392]

Sound 5%, Energy 95%

[@riseagainst05050]

OHMYGODTHATWASSOOOOOFUNNY!! MY GOD!!!! I LOVE TIM HE'S SOOOO AMAZING!! haha he just shrugs his shoulders like "i dont care! let her have her fun..." lol THATD BE ME!!!!! haha.... and MAN todd was SICK!!!! GAH I LOVE RISE AGAINST!!!! like the angel is DEF one of my TOP favs.... along with survive, rumors of... and black masks

[@ReneBrain]

wow, that's the first time is saw todd playing like the angel and he played the solo like on RPM, best ever, million times better than zach and 10 times better than chris ^^, so cool this scene with the girtl, tim makes with his shoulder "who cares" and than when the mic falls down he is laughing about that, so cool ^^ best like the angel performance ever ;)

[@TheVANSxFAN]

That's Todd Mohney :) great vid

[@ykgetspaid1385]

Tony Hawks Underground Had The Best Punk and Rock Soundtracks in a video game

[@meelzonweelz69]

@ali8roc Didn't they play a free show at a small venue like this not that long ago? I agree though it would be far more intense than watching them in an arena

[@ninjakawasaki13]

@UZIriffs i think that actually might be zach cause iv seen the same guy in multiple rise against live vids. plus apparently before zach joined he know the band well

[@bonn1771]

thank you for sharing

[@mikemccarl4546]

So awesome.

[@TheVANSxFAN]

lol it's fine, i honestly didn't know they had that many guitarists

[@Altmetalpunk]

@isiahnator dude, zach is a beast of a guitarist. i like chris as a person and he is a pretty good guitarist but zach has so much more ability and creativity. Tim pretty much wrote and recorded all of the guitar parts for revolutions and suffer and the witness. hell before chris joined the band they tried to get zach as a guitarist but it just didn't work out. their sound has matured so much since zach joined.

[@sipues21]

those were the days

[@Altmetalpunk]

@classicarage oh yeah, i know tim's good but even he'll admit that zach's an amazing guitarist. hell zach's the reason why they've been experimenting with different time signatures in the past couple of albums. unlike chris zach writes a good amount of the guitar parts on the albums. i mean the man used to be in bands like Gwar where they were extremely guitar heavy. if you listen to his solo in their cover of "making christmas" you hear it

[@XMetalChefX]

Omg so young!!

[@TimTompkins]

this is the rise against i miss

[@StJimmyCOD]

02:12 and following is so ridiculously funny and great :))) makes your heart laugh :)

[@pyrorockztar]

2.19 hes like oh well let her have it lol!

[@kylevsqz]

best fucking song. everything about it.

[@Walegu11]

2:15 tim is fucking funny

[@aWhimTested]

@Altmetalpunk i think zach is decent but there are a lot of vids from when he first joined where he's just hitting wrong notes and kinda butchering things. or sometimes just seems like his guitar is slightly out of tune. but i'd say most of the vids i've seen since 2010 or so he's playin great

[@rfloriani]

niccee xD But they have many problems in this show with their mics :P

[@andy_182]

What guitar does Tim have

[@hunnygotowned]

OP meant the bald guy who just walks past lol. and you meant todd mohney :D

[@pilarrp6799]

I wish I had been there on stage singing with Tim as the girl 2:16 minutes

[@ХристоПавлов-э4ь]

God Bless you for this video, fucking rock!!!

[@Moa991]

@hodycan AWESOME!. Thats cool man :D

[@Moa991]

this is so cool :)

[@reacokolino4081]

Rise Against are the chicks, in the club :DD

[@53ShadowHawk]

2:22 oops! lol

[@fd95117]

At 1:36 some people are flipping off tim

[@alanihawaii123]

@UZIriffs: LOL. Maybe. =D

[@Sebinator1995]

:D :D :D 2:13

[@AshFatigue]

What I would do to have been to this show. Man I'm in some shitty band that makes shitty music that plays at shitty shows. What I would do to experience playing a show like this.

[@hadisage9237]

make better music then

[@AshFatigue]

A lot has changed in 6 months. We're getting good.

[@hadisage9237]

Ashley Dixon Lol nice! I have a band too! And we rock LOL (we only have demos tho)

[@infinitelz2]

Why can't more bands like this be popular at all these festivals, I'm sick of this edm and dj shit it's so bad

[@DANKKrish]

well i was 3 years old at the time, but i don't care it would be still cool if i could be there

[@milanmiki7566]

Your comment is posted the day I turned 18, btw I hope I will have chance to see them live at least once in my lifetime, the more I listen to them the more I think they are the best band ever 😀

[@ReneBrain]

sorry, only a bit better than chris, not 10 times, that's too much

[@TheRageagainst44]

@isiahnator na zach has awesome energy live if anything chris sucked id rather have a reasnable guitarists who was good live than a amazing player who looks like he'd rather be doing something else
