This song is ridiculously empowering! Anyone who has been in an abusive relationship can relate. I LOVE IT!!!

[@jaxsonburns2023]

No it is not a ridiculous song

[@humbertojimmy]

I agree, but to be honest, we don't get the story (of the video) from the available footage alone. We see a couple in a fight, the male has the physical advantage (of course) but we don't know HOW they got to that situation. Then, from what we see next, the woman doesn't seek police help, instead prepares herself for *physical revenge,* which is a bad and quasi-criminal choice. The video hints that they fight over drugs, and believe me (i know) when couples fight over drugs usually *NONE* is innocent. My point is simply that sometimes (in real life) things aren't as black-n-white as we perceive. I think this video is somehow related to *Deal With the Devil,* but i'm not sure.

[@joachimschoder]

@@humbertojimmy I am seeing nothing, absolutely nothing about revenge in this video. What I am seeing is a woman who WAS in a abuse relationship and she got strong enough to leave. That's it. Anything else you are seeing says more about you, than about the story they are telling.

[@humbertojimmy]

@@joachimschoder No, you're seeing what you want to see, because the man is ALWAYS the destructive part of the couple, right? And even if a man abuses a woman what should she do? Prepare to beat him up?? Get real! You avoided my arguments and simply reenforced your own idea of the video. Let me ask you, if the video showed woman mistreating s husband, and the next footage showed him working out, punching bags, with an angry look in his eye, what would you say? I know *exactly* what you'd say... "this dude is about to make a HUGE mistake"!! But the lady gets a free pass.

[@joachimschoder]

@@humbertojimmy I am seeing what they are showing. You didn't have any arguments. You told what you wanted to see. And now you are setting up a straw man in which I claimed that "the man is always the destructive part". I didn't say anything close to this. Especially since I don't believe it. I celebrate everybody who gets out of an abusive relationship!!! Revenge isn't getting out. You are seeing what you are wanting to see. And since you are rather accuse me instead of reflecting on your own statements I am out of this "discussion". Enjoy your strawman arguments

[@MsRandom303]

I was abused and this song, particularly the chorus, is helping me recover by validating my feelings. Thanks so much, guys.

[@RichardMiller-tq6ut]

You don't need validation from anyone. If you can't stand for something you'll fall for anything

They were great in concert.

[@ricklyle3739]

Late to the party just discovered them 6 months ago . Wish more of their songs were rooted in “kick ass” guitar riffs like this one. My personal opinion this is their best song

[@shellybailey2478]

Late to the party also..love this but Torn to Pieces is what got me hooked

[@jayp_2023]

This always gets me going - the energy and passion are contagious

[@IAreSpitfire]

Personally, my favorite part of this song is the fact that you can just groove to it. It's the bass that does it mostly. It gets you pumped up but at the same time, you kinda chill and float with it. Or maybe I'm just weird as shit, who knows.

[@EasyBreezy222]

Gonna miss Matt on Bass!!!

[@codyedingtonable]

That fucking guitar had me sold the minute I heard this song on the radio.

[@thelonelywolf88]

Same.

[@muzikismylife2913]

If anyone doesn't like this it's becz they don't have the right headphones. 1 get sum good quality ones 2 crank it up until they put on the warning that this is as .loud as u can go before u blow out your friggin brains 3 you dont give a shit you jus want to go 1000 h.power...thank u Godsmack

+Marcelo Yuri I know how you feel man. I was listening to exclusively Three Days Grace until Nine Lashes' "Anthem of the Lonely" showed up in my suggestions. Now they are one of my favourite bands :P I find that looking at the KZbin mixes for bands you like will give some similar music, that's how I found this song and most of my music nowadays. It's also good to make a playlist that you can just keep adding to as you go.

I can't even imagine these guys putting on anything less than a stellar show. Not sure if they play either city, but they should. They shouldn't underestimate either city. Put the word out on the local radio stations, and they shall come. I'm sure plenty will buy into the performance.
