[MSN]Toronto Canada - Exclusive Interview with Tim McIlrath (Rise Against) 2014

[@nukka200]

There's NO WORDS to describe the epic creative intelligence of their music. his voice IS TOO MELODIC FOR WORDS. GOD I LOVE RISE AGAINST. FAVORITE BAND

[@colcol599]

Tims so fucking cool and chill it's not even funny.

[@starset6824]

i could listen to him for hours, he's amazing

[@majo2777]

This man is completely awesome! I can't put into words how much admiration I have :) He's really saved my life!

[@SuperbowlJoel]

Survive is still one of my favourite rise against songs. Helped me through some times.

[@dmax44]

Same with me. Survive represents the band for me. It makes you feel the message instead of just hearing the words.

[@redeyesdovah3014]

the black market(the song but the album too) made me realize that i did have a remedy in front of me and it could help me get out of the abusive relationship i was in i love this band and i always will

[@christiankettlewell]

I know that Tim would know better than anyone, but I've been trying to learn Zero Visibility for a couple of hours now and it really doesn't sound like it's in Drop D. 14:28 he specifically says it at this timestamp, but like seriously, I'm chugging away at this song, and it absolutely sounds tonally correct in Eb chugging on the Em chord etc. as opposed to like the standard Drop D power chord they would be using on fret 2 comparatively. Drop D tuning also makes the main riff motif exponentially harder to play, having to play fret 2 instead of the open E string is so hard that I genuinely doubt they would ever do it. Especially given their history of playing in Eb as often as they do. I'm not calling Tim a liar, but I really feel he's misremembering what they did in the studio somehow. I found this video referred by a commenter on a guitar tab and I watched the whole interview (not really a sacrifice, Tim is cool), but I've been trying to work out the song in both tunings and Eb definitely seems correct. I'm commenting in case another player finds themselves here. Hope it helps.

Refreshing to see an interviewer like this

[@llllll1897]

My dream is to go to one of their concerts

[@conors4430]

love this man and this band, ccompletely agree with survive as well. first time I saw them was sufferer and the witness, they opened with it and I didn't know what it was because it's the second last song on that album and I had my favs at the start, now that song is next to savir and broken English as my favourites. can't wait to see them with the foo fighters in feb and march in Sydney and perth

[@stevewilde5065]

+conor smith last song on sufferer and the witness unless i got a different version but definitely one of their best songs.

[@kevenklayne4211]

Did he ever get asked about his screaming method and such? It's what most fans really wanna know.

[@cecandart]

"Tim, we're singers"

[@adrianquirino]

great to hear brian from gaslight anthem and tim are friends...my 2 favorite bands!

[@celinesykes1266]

I love You du bist mein Lieblings sänger ihr seid meine Lieblings band ❤

[@yugiohfan88]

FIRST :D and i cant wait to see them again in september

[@RMGringo2122]

Yeah yeah! Man I love this guy, he's deliberately and unconsciously funny :)

[@papermind4010]

You're welcome Tim, for us Canadians selling veggie dogs.

[@nickhurtado8034]

Surprises me that Tim watches the World Cup considering the type of things he believes and stands for

[@Friskenn]

Why couldn't he?

[@nickhurtado8034]

do you not know all of the shit that went on behind the scenes of the world cup? there was a reason there were riots and protests

[@green8696]

Nick Hurtado BEHIND THE SCENES

[@grege5074]

ok a few quick observations...1) who is the one troll who disliked this? *rolls eyes* 2) he pronounced it "Tore-on-oh" well done, Time. and lastly i feel like the states that prosecute people for whistleblowing for animal rights are probably republican, can anyone verify?

[@josebaandoniaguirre5293]

can you translate the interview?

[@stressedoutzebra1329]

So worried that rise against are gonna break up before I get to see them in london live :( :( :( theyre coming to london but I cant see them this time around

[@erichstagat2977]

my 7 year old son loves Broken English! He sees me go nuts singing along, sorry, butchering the singing and he seems to dig it
