Rise Against

[tommh]

Due to lack of alternative, it looks like I'll be seeing Rise Against on Saturday night - never heard anything by them before, can anyone give me a couple of their best tracks to get me prepared and excited for them?

Swing life away is a cool chill out song

Savior is an awesome more rock out tune, as is Re-Education

Those are my fave 3 - u should download spotify to hear their stuff

[scottt]

Back from when they where good, songs they will play live will be Like The Angel, Give It all, Life Less Frightening. also, 3 of their best songs IMO

[The_Functions]

They cover Nervous Breakdown on Lords Of Dogtown.

It's horrible.

The First Drop, Paper Wings, Rumours Of My Demise..., Heaven Knows and Injection are some of their best

[Explosions_In_The_Sky]

I think the 'middle' three of their five albums (so the 2nd, 3rd and 4th) are their best stuff. Their first is rather paltry and seems to only get plaudits from my punk enthusiast mates who love it for it's rawness and lack of a single . Personally I find it very weak. The new album is alright, in the same way that Pennywise have knocked out alright (IE same old, but enjoyable) albums for the past decade, but not recommended as a first RA to listen too in my book.

Seen them three times before and it will be an enjoyable set! As long as you overlook some of their tiresome liberal idealist cliches (I'm sick of buying a new CD of theirs and being treated like a criminal as I enjoy a nice steak personally), they are a very good contemporary punk band.

Carnt wait to see Rise Against. My love for this band is growing greater by the day. Re-Education is such a good song

[bartycrouch]

Surely SURELY they will finish with Prayer of the Refugee??

People will go bonkers when he starts that riff at the beginning!

[Obsydyan]

I'm also fairly sure he will play Hero of War.
