VETERAN REACTS TO Five Finger Death Punch: Gone Away

[@sreamhand]

This one hurts.. I wear the bracelets of the two men that pulled me out of my burning Humvee after an IED attack. They were killed in subsequent small arms fire. My left leg was broken, my right shoulder was torn out of place, and I was trying not to black out. I woke up three days later on a medivac to Ramstein Air Force Base. It was there when I was told of their deaths. To this day, I struggle with the fact that I am still here and they are not. I remember eating barbecue with them and having beers at our deployment party. War is hell and some of us are stuck in that hell even after the war is over.

[@RobertSmith-hr6cr]

I feel ya brother. I retired from the Marine Corps in 2015 and had served in Fallujah Iraq in 2004 during Operation Phantom fury/Al-Fajr and then in Ramadi Iraq in 2006 during the battle for Ramadi. I then went on to serve in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan in 2008 Operating out of Camp Leatherneck, then again in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan in 2010 during Operation Moshtarak and finally 2013 again in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan with 3/5 Marines. I had been wounded in 2006 in Ramadi Iraq i hadn't been badly wounded i had been shot thru my left wrist. It was in 2013 with Darkhorse 3/5 that i was badly wounded when a ANA soldier tripped an IED and a 3 hour firefight ensued. I was knocked unconscious and peppered with shrapnel from the IED blast. It was sometime after the blast i was shot in my lower right leg just above my ankle that disintegrated about 4 inches of my tibia. Another Marine actually one of my bestfriends ran to me and started to drag me back. He ended up being hit and i was shot again this time under my left arm where my body armor didn't cover. The round went thru my left lung and exited out my back, i don't remember anything after that i was told i had passed out. When i came to i was in Ramstein Germany getting ready to be sent to Walter Reed. I was at Walter Reed when i was told that my bestfriend who was dragging me to safety had actually been killed, i was told that he died in the helicopter while we were being medavaced. That really fucked me up i felt and still to this day feel that i was responsible for his death. I know that's not true but it's hard not to feel responsible.

I got to go back stage and meet these guys. I was standing just offstage when they opened with Bad Company.

[@neighborhoodchef7917]

The reason why they do that is because three of the original 5 are vets, that's also the reason why they put awareness out for vets and stuff like that is because they've experienced this kind of stuff

I find myself at time struggling with this as well, the pain get to be hell. I am a warrior that’s what I always wanted and followed my dream. I went all the way becoming a us ranger and airborne and air assault qualified. Made sergeant in a year and a half!. I would do it again because I love my country and the men I fought with! War is hell and that’s not just a saying! To kill and be killed is as true as it gets! I respect anyone who served whether in peace and war. I would still be in if not for that RPG! It disabled me. Anyway thank you for what you do and God bless

Facts about the band and one if its members: Zoltan Bathory is a founding board member of the veterans nonprofit Home Deployment Project in Las Vegas (Home Deployment Project works to save and reintegrate homeless veterans) and sits on the Board of Advisors at VETPAW (Veterans Empowered to Protect African Wildlife) an anti-Poaching organization operating on the African continent, composed of US combat veterans. Five Finger Death Punch have played many military benefit concerts, visited bases around the world and spearheaded a fundraising campaign for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.[1] In 2014, the band launched a campaign that raised over $225,000. The band used their recent music video for their latest single "Wrong Side of Heaven" to focus on the theme and launched website 5fdp4Vets.com. They also started selling a custom jersey which was designed by Bathory, on Indiegogo. The funds raised went to organizations that raise awareness about PTSD.

[@datboishrek6662]

I know I'm a few months late on this but Five finger death punch is an amazing band. One of my favorites. I'm glad they put meaning behind their lyrics and how they are so pro military and all. Its great, definitely an underrated band IMO and they don't get the credit they deserve.

[@hobbitpsi]

@@shaneknowles7632 That's the beauty of music. It doesn't matter what the lyrics meant to the writer, it's the interpretation of the other person listening to it. What might have been sad for you, may not be sad for others. Personally to me it was uplifting.

[@shaneknowles7632]

@@hobbitpsi Yes, With music everybody can take a song and interpret it however they choose...However, That still does not take away from the writer's original storyline/meaning.....To you, The song may have been uplifting and positive...But, To say that the song as a whole was "not sad at all" is not true.....Even with your own opinion, It is blatantly wrong to try to dismiss the writer's original intentions and interpretation.....If you had said that YOU BELIEVE or YOU THINK that the song wasn't sad, That's one thing...But, You didn't do that...You made a blanket statement to explain the song as a whole, Thereby PROJECTING your own personal opinion over the original writers.

I was a rescuer in NYC 9/11-12. After 26 straight hours in "the hole", pulling out 7 and recovering 9, I left with burns to my hands, feet, eyes and lungs. As soon as I was healed enough to make a fist, I joined the Army. I was in Afghanistan a year into my service and was put on Movement Team. We were out every day, sometimes 3 missions a day. The Humvee tracking along in this vid reminds me of slow riding MRAPs through the ranges in Kabul. We lost 13 in a Rhino bus caught by a VBID. Some memories are held onto, some are etched in.

[@bio_the_manokit]

Thank you for your service so much you sacrifice everything for those of us who can't or won't fight for our families.

[@tmoney7643]

As you were talking about officer flying the body of a fallen soldier home it reminded me of a song... you should check out Angel Flight (Radio Tower Remix) by Radney Foster.

[@elany1609]

I just found this channel and i been listening to Five Finger Death Punch for about 9 years. i seen the title to this video and i needed to watch this video and i wanted to thank you very much for your service. i appreciate everything that you have done for this country. i dont know many people personally who has served but when i find out that people has i thank them from the bottom of my heart.

[@TheJaugernaut92]

When he said ive heard this song it could have been the Offspring version they are the original writers of this song. FFDP Remade it and its a masterpiece

[@heavenlyuriel1682]

Just recently came across your channel, have to say love you guys. I am a navy veteran and my husband submariner veteran. And I was shocked to hear you bring up ND2. My husband and I were both there. And we are glad we are not the only ones that remembered. Wonderful channel!

[@kurtz260]

Wounded Warrior is a great charity to get help to veterans that need help. They give about 60% of what they receive to veterans the rest goes towards running the charity and marketing/ads. I've been told some charities only pass along 10% of what they bring in to their actual cause.

[@jackflanagan9499]

I have huge respect for vets. My worst day ever won't even come close to what they have to deal with on a daily basis. God bless.

[@bryanochab4914]

I noticed you were talkong about how your C.O. escorted your fallen brother home how he had to identify the remains every time. Have you seen the movie Taking Chance?

[@Oldmanstrength75]

I just stubbed on you channel, and glad I did! I am not a veteran but my father and grandfather, brother in-law and many friends! Living in Northern California next to many air bases you become friends with many airmen and airwoman. I can’t express how much I appreciate you guys doing this! Thank you! And to all of you men and women that have severed and still serve thank you for all that you give!

[@davidkemp22]

When he says that they have a good vision it’s because someone in the band fought over seas or it was a couple of them they are an ex veteran band

[@nichelosbrunson7581]

I really appreciate the both of you, as a veteran too I feel some of the pain. That said a great friend that is willing to be there by your side and unfortunately feel the same through you. Legit, I like both of your guy's style

[@neotestme]

Like I said in the comment on the other 5FDP video, this version of this song always hits too close to home. This was my dark song when then things were beyond there worse for me. Another great charity that you guys can look into is the Weed for Warriors Project. They step up and provide real world help for veterans in need and help provide free medication and help to veterans in need. You guys should really check them out. Stay lifted my friends and keep up the great content.

[@philipauster6957]

The song/video is so raw it brings tears to most people's eyes that have caring and feeling. My dad served in the USAF and I was in the Army. I cry every time I hear this song and thank all of your viewers for their service. Thank you for this video and your service. #USA

[@wiscored88]

This band is very patriotic, they have a new one diving into the "conformity" of the country...the song is "living the dream"

[@amandaearls7431]

Thank you for your service. You are a strong vet to set there and lission to these song's. Reminds me of my grandpa he served as well. alone with my uncle God be with you and your family stay strong.

[@anthonysilva5015]

This is a cover of The Offspring, that is why you recognize the song.

[@Caveman_sev3]

Proud to have served my country! I would sign up again tomorrow if I could! Thank you for using your platform to help bring issues like this to the attention of those that just don't know or understand.

[@MEGATRON1069]

This song is originally by the Offspring just so that you know. Great song & different take on it.

[@wildmanbenenate255]

I'm a noncombat Navy Vet, I spent one tour on the Shitty Kitty CV-63. Thankyou guys for spreading the word of our Combat vets, the indescribable pain they and their families endure through loss. Much love and respect to you guys! Keep it up

[@RT-lo2ku]

7:32 You have heard the song before because it is a cover. Offspring did it also.

[@christianhackl474]

Sry You mean, offspring did the original 😅

[@catherinereeves6753]

Thank for your service and for bringing awareness for veterans. I have a lot of family who were and are serving this great nation including my husband. This is my Favorite song in the whole world.

[@mwilliams5375]

Just thought I’d throw this out there that this is a cover of The Offsprings song. Completely different meaning for each of the performers, but I’ll always love the original over this.

[@MercenaryPen]

this is exceptional- but even so the Offspring never get enough recognition, both for this song and others

[@mwilliams5375]

Mercenary Pen I absolutely love The Offspring. They basically were my middle/early high school. Lol

[@shiffer1307]

I love them both...I honestly can't put one over the other.

[@stonerayven2455]

Chester Benningfield actually inspired them FFDP to do this song when he took his own life. Thats what the song was written for originally.

[@mwilliams5375]

Stone Rayven no. This song is a COVER of the song written by The Offspring. You’re way off on this. There might have been an inspiration for covering the song to make it their own, but these words, this SONG is original and by The Offspring and was about Dexter Holland’s (the lead singer) girlfriend being killed in a car accident. The song was written in 1997, 8 years before FFDP was even a thing.

[@austindavis1999]

Came across this channel today thank you for your service. I get shipped to basic soon wish me luck and thank you to everyone who has served

Each time I've saw 5FDP's military song videos it touches my soul. They are so good at getting the emotion through their music.

[@sweetthang9999]

Please react to When the Seasons Change by Five Finger Death Punch. Another fantastic video by this very respectful band. This one is about police officers.

[@serriss2]

The fact that the offsrping made this song 20 years prior, and it can be covered and reacted to like this makes the lyrics hit so much closer home. Its an ongoing thing that people through so many walks of life have to go through.

[@Vipppala]

do their version of B A D C O M P A N Y bois!

[@eileenbaran7040]

Oh yes

[@captaindeadpool1997]

It's a good song but the video is just them going on tour amd training

[@crazyjay2101]

Or do compare and contrast between their version or bad company and bad company's version I enjoy both versions.

[@amyhoracek1730]

Thank you to each and every person who is serving, has served or will serve!!! Ffdp has many songs about the military. My favorite band. Got your six and boots and blood are two really good ones.

[@immaculateabnormality3037]

Have you listened to Rise Against - “Hero of war” I’d like to see a review if possible.

[@J-Kabar]

Thats a deep one about the challenges and problems of war. It tackles alot of problems. A great song

[@paulahardeman6103]

Thank you again sir for your service. I will continue to say that on every one of your videos. Thank you thank you thank you

Isn’t this a cover of an Offspring song? Sounds so familiar

Yeah it is.

[@stephaniejohnson4947]

Yes it is

[@jamesmiller9318]

Thank you Shipmate. I enlisted in the US Navy due to 9/11. That was the proudest moment in my life due to me thinking I could make a difference and protecting those who have sacrificed everything for me.

[@ReaperKezia]

"I feel like I've heard this song before" Did you not know this is a cover of a very popular The offspring song?

I love your reactions. As a vet who currently has 15 yrs in the military these videos always hit me right in the emotions.

Pretty much the ENTIRE Sabaton catalog. Incredibly powerful on all fronts.

[@leestokes5412]

This song really hits a personal area with me...i contracted 5 years in the middle east, 4 years for the military, 2 in Iraq, 3 in Afghan, worked with a 7 man team looking for HVT(high value targets) and gathering Intel from within the populace, and I lost a few brothers over there, but the worst of the pain comes from those brothers ive lost here at home, that became apart of the 22 vets lost daily...it would be awesome if there was more awareness brought to the front concerning this...love what you guys are doing, thank you, and let's not forget those here at home that are lost, and too often forgotten, I am the last of my original team, and one of 4 to make it home, and as of Jan 17,2019, I am the last living member, a heavy burden i bear daily...again...thank you for not forgetting.

Do Blue on black from five finger death punch

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

The power of this music video. Wow. I'd always loved this song even when The Offspring originally came out with it in the mid-late 90s. Only recently did I find out that the lead singer, Dexter Holland, had written it about his girlfriend who had died in a car accident.

[@shailpateder5727]

Even though this is a cover from The Offspring, it sounds completely different

[@RighteousJ]

Frankly I firmly believe this version sounds better.
