Protest The Hero - Hair Trigger [Official Video]

[@RaptorsOnRoids]

I don't think there is a band alive that has more fun than these guys

[@strife10301]

+Jon Koury true,, but i don't know if i cant take these guys seriously.. one thing is listening to their technical mindfuck music, and another is watching their uber ridiculous ass videos.

[@TheGuitarifier]

Jon Koury well they don't take themselves seriously, that's the point. Musicians who take themselves too seriously are fucking lame

[@platinumphazer]

The black dahlia murder

[@subarudrummer]

Infant Annihilator gives them a run for their money.

[@YWNBAWhoney]

Ghost usually has a good laugh too. They're both amazing groups, much love

[@squizz222]

I love how their music videos always follow the theme of the songs so closely.

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

The song is about cigarette addiction.

[@mikechurchill8529]

It says someone when you've followed a band for 9 years and they're still your favorite.

[@TheGuitarifier]

How you liking Palimpsest?!?! Their best since fortress, in my opinion.

[@Cloudliger]

Been following them since Fortress and not once have they strayed from being my favorite! They'll be my favorite till the day I die for sure.

[@petegrizwald2666]

Kazea did it for me! The memories!

[@BLikeWhoa]

What's so fantastic about this video is their personalities really show through; they are a bunch of fun-loving, crazy guys. And mad props to Rody for writing such clever lyrics.

[@iambatachu]

this music video speaks to me on a spiritual level

[@mugg5h0t94]

lol ok?

[@deathscreepingcloser]

Everyone can talk all the shit they want about bands and their music, but the bands are the ones touring the world and living the amazing life.

[@Cloudliger]

Still my favorite band of all time.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

You know it.

[@coltenstephenson1680]

Mine as well friend

[@drpibisback7680]

I love that the entire creative process for this video was clearly "what wacky things can we have the members of PTH do while playing the song?"

[@Kosmic_fire]

This is the most Canadian video I’ve ever seen

[@dondernerd]

Best clip i've ever seen. It has everything! Guitars, drums, bass, Rody, violence, hot action, dogs, go-carts, roller skates. What does a man want more?

[@Shinbu1128]

I apparently wrote myself a note after the first time I saw this video: "One day, write the most intense, rage filled song I can, and record the video for it in a McDonalds ball-pit with a man in a bear-suit." Not quite sure what I had in mind, but I like the sound of it!

[@regnuol]

I hope you still plan on doing this. I'll support it 100%

[@derkturk467]

Shinbu1128 That sir is great idea. lol

[@pyr02]

I almost just liked this comment, but it's at 69 and I'm a grown adult that did a, "heh, nice". When's the video coming out?

[@Lunarcheese72]

Check out My Horses Are Many by Phineas if you still have the desire and need some inspiration.

[@person2045]

i remember a little more than a year ago i read a comment on a random youtube video about how awesome protest the hero is. man... its been a great year

[@MrCarlton]

Arif is one of the best people to watch in concerts. He is playing all this complicated, divine stuff on that bass of his, but he does it like it's no big deal. He goofs around on stage and still plays perfectly. Seriously, this guy is an incredible musician. A true inspiration to any new bassists who want to make it big.

[@jeffbeegle794]

I've been watching this video for years and NEVER NOTICED THE JUGGALO until now!

[@Maltymaldy]

Laughed aloud so many times during this video. Starting off thought it was dumb....then the moustache.....then him peeing on the tree while she sings. F$^%ing classic!

[@osmingarcia5899]

Siempre muy genial verlos, Dios quiera y saquen música próximamente

[@maksimpinkov3332]

2024 here

[@ronthorn3]

I’m with yah bud. Violition tour coming!

[@UntoThee24]

Such a stellar vocalist

[@brooksmartinmusic501]

little known fact, this music video represents how PTH records all their albums, it's too easy to stand still

[@scottslayer2]

This is the first song I heard by Protest the Hero. This band showed me that there is a whole other world to metal than just techniques.

[@Darkslide426]

SHE'S COLD AS ICE!!! *SMACK* I love that part.

[@RMac777]

The best part about this whole video is just how much fun they look like they are having doing what they do.

[@RamasesB]

Love the singer's voice!

[@Midgetman82]

I LOVE music videos like these, where the band are just having a good time!

[@TheRadPi]

Jadea Kelly is my spirit animal.

[@Randinator]

"My dad thinks I'm gay... I don't blame him." -Rody Walker

[@christophermccook8591]

I'm pretty sure I've watched this video like 30 times since I discovered it yesterday. :)

[@xCOVINGTONx]

Christopher McCook that just happened to me!

[@samschellhase8831]

Anyone else think that that little bass/drums soli at 1:08 (bada-dum bada-dum) is just super cool and unique? It's short and small yet it just really pops out for me and I love it

[@meleemaelstrom7338]

I treat this video like a "wheres waldo" except with juggalos...found 3 so far...

[@HammersmashedTaco]

omg. so much yes. and win. so much.

[@ghostgate82]

Canadians...

[@sacredxgeometry]

Haha, these guys are great my friend!

[@NR-zc7uf]

Haha exactly what I was thinking...canadians..

[@ianclickner390]

Keep having to rewind this video every 10 seconds, there's so much that's easy to miss!

[@jeffbobbin]

Haha dramatic piss on tree scene.

[@DruNature]

there are no words available to describe the amazing feelings inside of me as i watched this video.

[@cameronknox75]

This song is about the struggles of quitting cigarettes.

[@tonkpils667]

Mind blown! That's pretty awesome. The metaphors used on this album are really interesting.

[@TRG29338]

Well, I re-listened with that in mind. ...brb smoke

[@fredrussell3236]

***** It is in fact true. I read an interview from Rody sometime when the album came out. Totally changes your view on the song, and makes it that much more interesting.

[@srdwall]

***** also the line "that sweet little redhead has her hooks in my back" is referring to tobacco leaves and their reddish color when broken down for cigs. also rody fucking loves cigarettes.

[@Hellion6325]

Drew Wallace I thought the redhead referred directly to the cigarettes themselves, you know.. when they're burning, they got the red tip, and the hook is the addiction grabbing him :l

[@AugieSubsJrock]

This video... totally not what I expected to see after seeing their Sequoia Throne and Blindfolds Aside video hahaha. These guys are the best!

[@areminderofwhatweare]

Even understanding the metaphors in this song almost right away it still took me like a week to realize what the line about "that frozen dripping holiday bird" meant. "Cold turkey"

[@samschellhase8831]

Dave Benning what is the dog supposed to be about? After listening to it I assumed something about love and relationships but now after seeing the video, my guess is divorce and affairs, maybe being to quick to love right out of highschool and not actually finding the "one"? Idk

[@iiidecoyiii]

cigarettes.

[@portcherish]

Guys, I can't stop watching/listening to this, can someone please seriously help me?

[@chrisnight45]

was that shaggy 2 dope?

[@michaelhermann58]

haha....yeaaaaaaaah :3

[@yoimer06]

I swear every time I watch this video I love this band even more.

[@ThisWouldBeMike]

im pretty convinced this is the greatest music video ever made

[@dawaltz07]

guys, i can't begin to describe what genre this is, all i know is that i love it and don't care

[@tattooheath]

he has a ton of fresh ink on his arm in this video. all that red-ish black and gray shading is fresh ink. looks sick.

[@TheGingeOfficial]

I'm glad this didn't end up being the video for tapestry because this is definitely not a waste of a day.

[@coltenstephenson1680]

This song got me into protest. Now here am I with the volition album art tattooed on my whole shoulder. 😊

[@japgolly]

What an awesome video!! Plus I saw an Australia T-shirt in there, even better!

[@MetalisAok]

gonna go see these guys dec 17 with three of my buds!!!!!!!!

[@WCRoss0]

See you guys on Wednesday in VA.... gettin' prepped to tear that shit up

[@lilinux]

Only Protest The Hero could get away with something like this, I love their sense of humor.

[@theyakaflocka]

THEY'RE SO GOOD!!!!

[@DarkChaos451]

You know your a boss when you can make out and shred on the guitar at the same time.

[@thespoon476]

You know what I like? That after all these years, it's still the same 5 guys just fucking around.

[@killthecongregation]

this is probably one of the best things that has happened in my entire existence

[@MegaAdam5]

WOOMG!!!!!! that might be the bestest protest video i ever did see!!! it had everything!!!!!

[@chickenslips]

This was literally the best music video I've ever watched.

[@Adam27X]

This looks like so much fun!

[@GroggyMcNobb]

this is literally the best music video ever created ever. Possibly... I mean, its all subjective kinda... isn't it?

[@GW728917]

This looks and sounds like the old PTH. Lovin it

[@monkiy1300]

Love that multitasking; making out and riffing. I bet he didn't miss a note.

[@Ralphsmongler]

I want to see you guys live... In Hawaii... If you build it they will come

[@Grasses0n]

This is still the most fun music video I've seen.

[@matthewbvaca]

i love this jam

[@matthewsmallwood4464]

Best music video I have ever watched...

[@smracu]

One of the few Protest The Hero videos in good quality. They're finally getting the hints you guys.

[@gangsterthomas1000]

I think this is the best music video ever made. Period.

[@nicklittlefield7872]

One of the best music videos ever.

[@ILikeBowlingAndMusic]

This was probably so much fun to film

[@shawnobryant9949]

still a masterpiece in music.

[@unveiledwithouttears1370]

2:19 the soccer ball hitting the crash cymbal always makes me laugh.

[@muskegorunner]

These guys are so awesome. So is Jadea Kelly. Probably the best music vid i've ever seen

[@pbiscayemusic]

can't wait to see these guys in seattle!

[@BenjaminChevoor]

This is by far the best music video I have ever seen.

[@jeleopard]

Saw these guys live last night. I was so impressed. I went to see Loomis and Periphery, but these guys were AMAZING.

[@nicklittlefield7872]

This was the first video I saw from these guys, awesome:).

[@brigilton]

oh my god I love these guys lol awesome music video

[@Aroniyun]

So good every time.

[@slothyone]

this video proves we will never run out of music video ideas

[@Brobi_wan_kenobi]

this song could have made such a serious video. Im glad they did it this way

[@ledzeppelin1781]

you guys are the best

[@skanyer]

This song was amazing the first time I heard it; then I found out what the song actually means, and now it is simply poetry. Brilliant work Protest.

[@willbrown9374]

saw them perform in dallas and they had the same energy that's personified in this video. lots of "metal" bands put on the strictly business act, but protest has fun doing what they love and that shows in person as well as in this video.

[@percussionwizard]

This is just too funny! They have an amazing song and a hilarious video! Love it!

[@Shavo358]

If you watch this video, then go back and watch their older stuff like 'Blindfolds Aside', they look so much older. Kinda blows my mind.

[@skcorroha]

It's funny because as I was listening to this song, after not listening to any Protest the Hero for a long time, my first thought was "God damn, I love Rody's voice"

[@ytsejam543]

Greatest music video ever made. Ever.

[@Notspeshul]

Four minutes and fifty-one seconds of unmitigated badassery.

[@EpidermisThermos]

ill have to check it out thanks!

[@Joesizzle6150]

Learn some of the lyrics and sing along, you will enjoy yourself singing like that to such awesome music. They are different and his voice is not necessarily what drew me to the band, but it kept me talking about them! My now, favorite band!

[@DruNature]

the greatest line up in music history! change my mind!

[@Striball]

This music video is so awesome on so many levels

[@MontyAlcott]

Such an awesome video, perfect

[@timc0821]

When I saw Protest with Periphery, Spencer sang Jadea's part. It was amazing.

[@Aroniyun]

Pretty amazing video and a great song. Too bad I live under a rock and don't find things until 4 years later. Praise the Interets and its perpetuity.

[@TheSenseixx]

This is the best metal video ever.

[@sirlayne1257]

Scurrilous is My favorite album

[@chuchaka]

this song is so fun to play on guitar

[@jfish242]

Thank you for noticin it just made my day

[@straightXjessedge]

This is really good. I've never really listened to these guys before, but this is really enjoyable.

[@shrederiffic2380]

Greatest music video ever.

[@Beatsprodigious]

I saw PTH when they toured with Periphery back in April, and they had Spencer come out and sing the female part of the duet in this song with Rody...FUCKING EPIC!!!
