  • yep.

  • Read the Novel "War is the Force that Gives us Meaning, war will always be around, it is human nature to destroy and then give meaning or life behind the destruction. War is a natural, believe it or not but look at the third world countries who have to defend themselves against there own kind, Bosina, Africa,Palistine and many others that have defend their own kind against geonicide, look at how people felt after the 9/11 attacks, war and revenge will always be around untill the world is Utopia

  • @theboyscout1985 shut up pussy liberal!

  • @theboyscout1985 What novel????? Im just curious

  • ____________

    BAD ASS

    ____________

  • ska + punk :D

  • @IrishR3v0luti0n

    It's called ska-core.

  • @HamBaconCheeseBlood i like it!

  • @HamBaconCheeseBlood Nah. Ska punk

  • @TasteLikeMota No, they're the ones that basically keyed and started ska-core. It was called ska punk before.

  • @HamBaconCheeseBlood Ska-core is Fuerza Brutal.Operation Ivy is Ska punk. That's that, now go clean your house.

  • @TasteLikeMota Ska-core is a subgenre of ska punk, which many people say Op. Ivy started.

  • this song just makes me want to mosh, anyone else?

  • To everyone who thinks they are right and everyone else is wrong. Look at the notes for the song. missjane37 knows what the song is about. They felt like making a video. Get over yourselves. Be thankful this kick ass song is on Youtube. I dont care if the video is of Barney doing the handjive for 2:23. If this one sucks so bad, why don't you make your own video and show exactly what the artist meant by it. Turns out this song was written about you.

  • Peace

  • WHo the hell made this bad ass song political... you are a dumb ass...

  • UNITYUNITYUNITY!!!!

  • peace n love people... i'm into punk but dress like a chav, and I fucking hate violence.... war must stop, be it between subcultures or nations.... so many better things to do and more things to worry about like global warming and over farming. peace n love! =O)

  • thanks jesse.

    

  • 16 people started a war!

    

  • UNITY!UNITY!UNITY!!

    where was it?

  • i like it, i think it did a good job at capturing the idea of ambiguous lyrics. and as for those that wrap themselves up in the superficial labels and the infighting that it brings...well I hope you are offended. More to life than "not being a drone." Basing your whole life on being different than the rest of the world just makes you as normal as everyone else,

  • im just saying 1:51 reminds me of the AC130 mission in CoD. yes imma fag

  • @lostsucks29 Really? I always thought it was a joke about marijuana or something. Hahaha.

  • Kinda cool how they covered Reel Big Fish's song, although I still prefer the original because they have horns and the production is better. This is like a more rugged version I guess, lolz. it's okay though, i give it like a B -

  • @toyconventures This isnt a cover ITS THE ORIGINAL.

  • @toyconventures I give you an A+ at not knowing anything

  • @toyconventures was that before or after A-Ha did their cover of Reel Big Fish?

  • @toyconventures Operation Ivy made this song.

  • @IvyNirvana I know this is the OP Ivy version, that's what the title says, but the OG real ska version with horns is by Reel Big Fish.

  • @toyconventures theres an operation ivy version called Unity (with horns). the Reel Big Fish version is a cover of course

  • i only looked this up because Billie Joe said this band inspired him on an interview.....but i gotta say, he has great taste! hahaha :D

  • Kids & Heroes

  • I love the music

  • Operation ivy...best band ever

  • best music video iv ever seen !

  • 0:51 i hate those BDU's there so fuckn ugly lol

  • @FIDsmoggydrizzle Wow, man. That's what you have to offer to the conversation? "I hate those BDU's [sic] there [sic, again] so fuckn [sic, yet again] ugly

    The reason I bring this up is that you seem to have posted this July 2011ish, at which point the BDUs [that's how you write it; no apostrophe] in question were no longer in use.

    They now use EVEN UGLIER BDUs with that stupid digital crapola going on.

    And don't even get me started on headgear.

  • Description: *NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED*

    Lol, it's punk, fuck it dude.

  • Unity as one stand together... Or just bicker about stupid shit on youtube while you listen to our music.

    I think that was the original message.

  • fuck at first I was hiphop. Then I needed the hardcore punk more. after a little while only death metal. And now I almost breath punk and ska. Really this song has got me going.

  • I've loved this band and this song for over 15 years but this is so out of context.

  • 0:17 Wrong band.

  • @ErikaAllyn i used SOAD boom video clips

  • ha i like both those bands

  • think operation ivy was a test the U.S had....maybe something to do with the hydrogen bomb

  • They were about peace and unity everywhere. Dropping social injustice and bigotry. You can't be for peace and racist, you can't make fun of others and then pretend to call folks equal. Just chill the fuck out, there's a much much bigger picture out there (or smaller one, hell life is pretty simple): just be cool.

    SO much violence and bullshit wastes life. energy. and potential. Get over it.

  • I DONT NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HES SAYING!!!! ALL I NEED IS TO KNOW HES SAYING AND MEANING IT WHEN HE SAYS  STOP THIS WAR......

  • Music is about what YOU take out of it...

  • i could kill some diaper heads to this song!!

  • idc if it was only directed towards punk. all humans should unite.

    im sick of violence, waste of fuckin energy

  • :17 SERG!!!!

  • @rootspunkreggae actually it's serj.. SOAD!!!!

  • my fav

  • YEAH SYSTEM OF A DOWN!

  • I really like how people hear what they want to in this song. The words are "Stop this WALL". War isn't mentioned anywhere in the song. It's about the fracturing of the SoCal punk scene in the 80s. A call to stop the bullshit posturing that was going on at the time.

  • @Boomerkuwanga its stop this war... and in the beginning of the song he says theres a war going down tonight it mentions war quite frequently you should check your lyrics lol

  • @Boomerkuwanga HAHAHA ppl are too funny

    

  • i love this song one of the best punk bands ever

  • i am equally terrified and intrigued by war machines.

  • tis song has jack shit to do with war and crap.it was about our culture.and the bullshit we get.a couple of days ago,i walked into a bar and got shouted abuse at by everyone saying i didnt belong here and that i was 'skanky'.

  • @3bleeder maybe you shouldn't be such a skank, skankitty skanky skank

  • is skinhead rob in this song?

    

  • @jagermorancy Dude this is Operation Ivy. This is Jesse Michaels get ur shit together.  don't ask stupid questions

  • @GSkillz098 fuck you man i was asking a simple question i havent listened to much operation ivy so i didnt know. so fuck you

  • @jagermorancy this is OG

  • 0:44 Damn!

  • can someone show me jits from operation ivy (rancid) please, i want to hear their good shit

  • :18 is that serj tankien from soad?

  • @arrghnousernames yeah pretty sure its from one of soad's film clips

  • i know most punks are about "anti-capitalism" but where else can i find music for my ipod besides itunes?

    i dont want no viruses

  • @mmmmmska TORRENTS! look them up :)

  • @karinakeys my friend told me about that.... thank you very much(:

  • @mmmmmska that's not what anti capitalism's about. anti capitalisms about everyone getting a fair amount for a fair amount of work, and not having corporations rule through economic might. That being said bands work very hard and unfortunantly unless they have a source of income they won't be able to make more music. Also if you buy a cd the band actually makes more money than if u buy off of itunes. Ebay has tons of cheap new cds. I know how it is not to be able to afford shit Piratebay is safe

  • @mmmmmska fyi im pretty sure torrents fuck up non macs

  • @JMort95 oh alright

  • @JMort95 are you saying torrents fuck up window's and not mac?

  • @wizzledumb yep

  • WAR IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING! :)

  • @FIDsmoggydrizzle

    JACK UP THE DOW JONES!! (:

    Lmfao

  • Its ironic how Tim Armstrong signed a homophobic band to hellcat records.

  • @metalxkeith US bombs? i don't think they are against gays

  • @ranctransboxblink from what i herard Leftover crack left hellcat records because he signed a homophobic band to hellcat. im not sure. i dont feel like creating a big debate about it.

  • @metalxkeith i thought it was because they made them change their album shoot the kids at school and they said no way so they left

  • Unity everyone. Please. Enjoy the music.

  • "Unity" was about unity in the punk scene/culture. It had nothing to fucking do with wars and countries fighting. It was about the aggro and bullshit that was tearing us apart as a culture, which would only serve to turn us into that which we KNEW was wrong.  Normal "society" and being just another fucking drone.

  • @davenow That's one way of seeing it - but in another vid of an OI gig, they do say it's about war in general.

  • @davenow who cares? great song.

  • @davenow i was watching some of those op ivy live videos and jesse said it was about a bunch of different stuff in one vid he said its about racism and in another living a repectful and concious life in relation to others are some such stuff, thats whats great about this song its apllicable to lots of different scenarios not just the schism that occured in the punk scene but shisma going on all over the world

  • @davenow "It was about the aggro and bullshit that was tearing us apart as a culture, which would only serve to turn us into that which we KNEW was wrong. Normal "society" and being just another fucking drone."

    Hmm, sounds like war to me.

  • @davenow fag,...

  • @davenow you are ABSOLUTELY 100% correct by which what they meant and intended to mean.... but the awesome thing about music and i mean literature in general is that people can interperet any way they want and some of these lyrics can be interperted that way.... idk just a thought bomb ass song though lmao

  • @davenow Sorry, you're wrong. This song is about being together across borders and not killing each other. I don't think they would use militaristic terms in description if they didn't hope to imply peace as opposed to war. Thats the amazingly stupid part of punk these days, its all about "IM so different and more right than everyone" instead of "We need change"

  • @davenow Ever think it could have more than one meaning?

  • @davenow duh thats a fucking war dude. let him/her use their own imagery to depict that sam sentiment.

  • @davenow Well, perhaps you shouldn't be so close minded and consider that people approach the music and take it in different ways. Regardless of whether or not the song was written for a specific purpose. War is shit, it splits countries apart. So much money goes into wars and supplying them every single year. It's a constant crisis and, trust me, the U.S. government loves it. Sure, it opens jobs, but at what costs? Is it worth being put thousands of miles away to probably die? I don't think so.

  • @davenow you're absolutely right, but i think we can all agree any kind of war sucks

  • @davenow I think I could love an intelligent punk-rock boy.

  • Civilization? Ha! I call it as I see it!

    I call it bullshit! You know, I still cannot believe it!

    Our evolution now has gone the way of hate.

    A world evolved resolved into its stupids fate.

  • thats the word boxhead!

  • haha serj tankian 0:16

    he sings in System of a Down

  • I just discovered Operation Ivy from Hollywood Undead's "Bad Town" cover. I like this band and I added this song to my favorites. I don't listen to a lot of punk and ska, mostly because I'm busy listening to other music, but I'll have to start listening to a little more of this.

  • cul song!

    

  • SERJ TANKIAN THATS HIS NAME!! haha yea serj is at 0:17

  • Ex Navy SEAL... I love Op Ivy.....this is why went over there... Unity! is all of us as humans standing and being fucking one. FUCK system...

  • hahaha system of a down is in this video

  • The fighterpilot in 0:48 looks like he is skankin' :D

  • 0:17 is that guy out of System Of A Down?

  • Wow, this really takes me back!

  • This song isnt really about literal war. Its about the war between racism sexism and sexuality.

  • STOP THIS WAAAAAAAAR!

  • :O i'm debating whether or not i should take my guitar to the rally on saturday in DC and play this song and get a big crowd of people to sing the chorus~

  • Who said this band is punk?????? For your information is Ska-Punk!

  • @MartinBuenoNinja punk is an attitude not a genre

  • @OpakeArawra2 In this case we are talking about type of music not as the actitude they and if were talking about actitude im sure they have a Ska actitude too

  • For real BoxheadHakx Op Ivy are from the era when punk was dangerous not this little emo and bubble gum punk shit today... i remember going to see Choking victim back in the day... And if only these "punk kids" today saw real punk they would be scared shitless...

  • @stovetop17 Hell yea man

  • Love Op Ivy, but this video sucks. I hate how some people imply that perfect peace and harmony are possible. The idea that somehow anyone who acts violently is bad. The fact is, there will always been insane groups of people in the world, and violence is the only way to stop them. That doesn't make us the bad guys. To think otherwise would be naive.

  • emo is the modern pussy way of punk, they hate the world and dont do shit bout it. punks progressive aggresive and knows this worlds fucked

  • Serj Tankian!

  • hahah the beginning gun shots are from rick ross' -white house

  • awesome vid

  • fuck yeah punk rock

  • i barely read the comments but, from what i see i think its funny peoplle have these arguments under a song about unity

  • @100marb

    It's certainly ironic. :)

  • @100marb Dude that is kinda funny right how stupid.

  • @100marb thats called irony lol

  • Yeah, why don't you people just listen to the song. This is what good music sounded like. This is one of the best albums of all time and I don't see any band topping it anytime soon. 

  • 12 people hate to be together

  • Operation Ivy was a huge nuclear test >.>

  • @howboutthatchange please don't ruin this song for the rest of us. Is two mintues and twenty two seconds really going to make such an extreme impact on your life?

  • fuck peace hate and was mo fucker

  • U.S military operations are over in Iraq bout damn time

  • @heroesandcons09 yea man they left such a good situation over there...i think it was a bullshit war but ffs america finish what you fucking start

  • You don't see many songs like this anymore and to see MTV supporting a flash animation like that really shocked me honestly we need more songs like this today.

  • woow.. i didnt know they sang this.. haha awesome!

    i only serached this band cause it was in a green day biography!! finally i found this song!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Streetking412 you mean 0:19? cuz thats what i thought

  • This band is punk, with a lot of diffrent styles, not some damn skater core pussy shit, this band was back when little emo kids were shitting themselves and eating gerber..

  • @BoxheadHakx b4 they was even concieved hh

  • @BoxheadHakx Word, I've been listening to Op Ivy since 1993! Must be Old School...I'm also 30 though. Ahh, to be 15 again...but I wouldn't want to be 15 in 2010....fuck these kids in 2010....."lets bring automatic weapons to school & shoot 20 students just because they called me fag." WAHHHH WAHH WAHH. People used to call me fag in the 80's......AND I'm A STRAIGHT GIRL, married with an 11 year old! I DO have sympathy for all these kids that are killing themselves. SUICIDE SHOULD NOT BE IN!

  • @poppergurl Agreed.

  • For real BoxheadHakx Op Ivy are from the era when punk was dangerous not this little emo and bubble gum punk shit today... i remember going to see Choking victim back in the day... And if only these "punk kids" today saw real punk they would be scared shitless...

  • @stovetop17 for real dood, "punks" now dood, do random vandalism to be anarchists... and listen to greenday... kids need to quit being pussies and beat each others asses so i don't have to

  • @BoxheadHakx I hope you're not cutting down on skate punk with that statement. If so, you need to listen to some Black Flag, Rich Kids On LSD, Vandals or Strung Out.

  • @Mohammets the vandals makes my dick hard.

  • Comment removed

  • @BoxheadHakx YES THANK YOU! FUCKIN LITTLE EMO PUCKS!!!
