Iraqi metalheads rocks Istanbul - 22 Dec 07

[aimen27]

im iraqi 4 life and iraqis are going better and better

[Gemilicious1]

Long live rock music. I hope it spreads through baghdad, conquers kawliyas and displaces all the crappy iraqi music that we hear nowadays. Iraqi rock music should be established in baghdad.

[MrNeosantana]

Spike Jonze not Spike Lee

[goodkid2014]

and then you see American Troops storm in with bombs and killing them, they thought the screaming was them killing teammates

[8c4e]

Spike Jonze not Spike Lee...

[jacksonshakur]

[Gaelheretic4]

@jacksonshakur Sorry, I made a mistake and I actually wanted to thumbs up that. I was just mainly looking at the dislike bar and couldn't help but think, wow. The people who don't like this video must be either dicks who were bored or terrorists. But who am I to talk about being a dick.

[evanbla]

1:37 - The Film was produced by Spike Jones, not Spike Lee.

[enasni177]

Your right, that's funny I didn't realize that until I read your comment. Damn journalist can't get shit right.

[zalesky405]

vader,behemoth,acid drinkers,turbo,gotham......che­ck polish metal ! metal rules!!!!

[CJ101nicKA]

behemoth is the shit

[kasperick]

The reporter states the film "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" was financed by Spike Lee---but that is an ERROR. He should have said "Spike Jonze".

[enasni177]

Your right, that's funny I didn't realize that until I read your comment. Damn journalist can't get shit right.

[sattar2000]

keep it up .. wkeep it going dudes , we all supporte u and hope iraq will be safe again 4 u 2 sing in it . ish u all the best

[SirRamboi]

[garretxshakedown]

[J4M1EB3LL]

Nice, heavy metal see not all metalheads are white.

[danblaze83]

[otuzdortist34]

Oh sorry I thought they were " white".

[Fidd91]

@J4M1EB3LL

no, that is good. Coz I think that wouldnt be that cool without people across the world. These guys rocks!

[SolOfTheArcangel]

@J4M1EB3LL yeah there are even metal groups from Africa (not South Africa) that are not white, like he Angolan a doom/gothic metal band called Neblina (they're all black) and my personal favourite song by then is Alphaland. Oh and there is also tis an Egyptian metal band called Scarab and another good Egyptian metal band is Zatreon. Metal for life, remember kids don't look at your fellow metal head by colour, but by creed. \m/ haha

[willpu]

@J4M1EB3LL metal has no color!!! we are all kick ass in our unique way!!!

[dreadfulness1]

@J4M1EB3LL dude! they are caucasians! so they are white as you may call them :/

[LPROLLE]

[serhathoca]

why dont you come to Turkey and bring your filthy mother also. Once we get through with her, she'll want to stay. And Ill tie u up to a chair and make you watch while she takes it up the ass and begs for more, u useless piece of shit. It must suck to be you.

[Vicius1334]

[otuzdortist34]

[LivingMarionette]

FUCK YOU MAN!

[otuzdortist34]

[LivingMarionette]

Well they're not going anywhere... I'll guess you'll have to deal with it.

You can't kill metal.

[railwayman]

I hope these guys are safe and can stay in Turkey

[cemrerana]

i think u re so unenlightenment

[otuzdortist34]

Fukc Iraqi terrorists

[serhathoca]

Lonely? Sounds like u r the lonely one, douchbag. Your criticism carries no weight u fuckin kurd, or sand nigger, whatever u r. It's pointless, just like your life, a 20 year old piece of shit who had his ancestors fucked by a Turk. Nice. You deserve it u cunt. How does it feel like 2 look in the morror every day and see that u r nothing, worthless, going nowhere in life. You dont know shit. So fuck u, fuck your parents 4 the job they've done and fuck wherever u came from, u stupid muthafucka

[mattlexington]

turkey is much more civilised than you think,,,I lived there as a part of my contract, and many ethnic groups live there too,,,,be nice towards other nations buddy,,,,

[omegaeloy]

Well, I guess Turks hate people like you and they are correct. You would better not come across with a Turk in the streets.

[ChemicalSally]

lmao i live with turks shithead

[omegaeloy]

then u must like their cocks u fucking cunt.

[FinalFantassyyy]

How about they get out of Istanbul, it's already corrupt as it is, we don't need no freaking empty metal heads.

[PSYCHOPISSFUCK]

shut the fuck up turkey is a shithole i hope PKK terrorise you mongols

[serhathoca]

a shithole is the hole you were born from, your mother's hole, you stinking son of a whore. Your bastard father would have been better off cumming on your whore mother's face than inside of her rotten putrid pussy. This way, you would not have been born and been a lot more useful than u r now, u loser in life motherfucker. May u die today a painful death, maybe then they will bury u in a shithole that u deserve 2 be in u cocksucker.

[alexthedub]

Wow! These guys deserve respect!!!!

[ConditionalID]

Metal rulz. This music will unify the world, if given a chance. Every musician that plays metal knows in his or her heart that it is real, it transcends war, social evil, and everything that is divisive about humanity. We need more of this kind of thing on YouTube. No one is your enemy unless you make them so. Rock on.

[chaos741]

well said

[iamcitizenme]

It's good to see other entities are talking about Acrassicauda but the film, Heavy Metal in Baghdad was not financed by Spike Lee. It was financed by Spike Jonze.

[IrakiKween]

i recently saw the documentary film on this band, it was very interesting to see. a must watch for all metalheads, gives you a different perspective of heavy metal seeing it come from a region you wouldnt expect it to.

- Another Iraki fan

[IMHOLUKE]

I know of 3 other heavy metal bands in Iraq.

[chaos741]

dog faced corpse?

[RogAgainst]

i love the perseverance of these guys. i hope they come to the u.s.

[yoanako]

1:30 - it's great about this news piece, but the movie was not financed by spike lee. it was financed by spike JONZE. small error - still good news piece.

[spazzynoo]

i dont mind that theres a metal band in places like iraq or other musulman countries, metal is global

[hamodeeuk]

no Comment

[blackstormelf]

Respect to the Metallers in Iraq!!

[princessbasra]

thanks:P

[nigletgook]

argueing over the internet is so fucking gay.

[nigletgook]

satanic? LOL how are these guys satanic??? LOL LOL Slayer aren't even "SATANIC" ....keep religion out of metal.

[nigletgook]

what are some other iraqi metal bands???

[aboomen]

amargi(thrash metal - 2006), dog faced corpse(technical death metal - 2008), semi death(heavy/prog metal - 2001), scary crew(heavy metal and the first iraqi metal band since 1993), passage(heavy metal - 1994) , striker(heavy/oriental metal 1995) and lot other bands and metal musicans u can look them up on youtube! we watch acrass vids and hear thier lies and laugh here lol!! they r our friends though but i guess they used those lies for exposure

cheers from baghdad

AboOmeN

[nigletgook]

was their movie all fake!?

[aboomen]

i cant say it was all fake!!!

the situation is bad as fuck here , they arent here in iraq anymore though so they r safe now and they have what they want!

the fake thing was their claims about bien "the only and first iraqi metal band" they took advantage of the shitty situation at that time with the vbs guys or whatever they are! told some lies , then those vbs guys were like WOW!! lets make a dvd about this shit!!

and that was it :D

check my videos on my page if u want and tell me what u think

[nigletgook]

That's cool though i'm glad there's some Iraqi metal bands out there, Metal is international and not just bound to the U.S. and U.K., Now if there are any Iranian metal bands I'd be suprised but you never know.

[aboomen]

there is a hell of a metal scene in iran :P look them up! , i have friends with great iranian metal musicians

[gorgorothpa]

ekove efrits,axiom and Sorg Innkallelse r from iran

Taarma is a band originally from afghanistan

al-namrood and wasted land r from saudi arabia

there's a lot of metal in arabic countries, u just have to look for it, same goes for africa and asia

[alilars]

"They claim to be the only heavy metal band" Which is the most big fat lie!!! And they know it...

[jtheyellow]

In Iraq. You can't believe that?

[alilars]

They are an Iraqi band, but they're not the only band there.

[jtheyellow]

Name another Iraqi metal band. Or any kind of rock band. I'm curious, if you're aware of one.

[alilars]

Semi-Death band. And i was a member of it. And FYI we helped that band and we know each other, and also our guitarist went on a show with them just to help. Google Semi-Death and you'll see

[aboomen]

amargi , dog faced corpse , semi death , scary crew , passage , striker and alot others

btw .. im amargi and dog faced corpse's drummer and u can check the vids on my channel

cheers

[lifeovdeath]

WDF? heavy metal freaks, this is not an iraqi taste... that probably why they are the only band.

[unearth1980]

Heavy metal from the start was always been not on any bodies taste. Thats why it always starts underground. moron!

[hssn0903]

fuck you dude

[cravencreepers]

hey .. a small info for you buddy , they are not the only iraqi metal band :p

[DRPEGASUS81]

Dude , believe me i know those guys in personal , and i`ve been with them in thier rehearsals , u really should respect them , they r really hard workers and thier situation was a real mess .

Even if u don`t like metal , there`s nothing wring with respectinh others likes.

[lifeovdeath]

true, i just realized how harsh my comment would be to these people, anyways sorry for anyone i offended, and good luck to them. peace

[DRPEGASUS81]

it`s ok man , no harm done !!! nice talkin to u .

[yamazaru102]

They Should Come To America I Would Buy A Concert Ticket

[sethzky77]

Bad ass!

[Antipaladin666]

the Moslems won't like it though.

[MrIraq1]

Go IRAQIS, and btw Turkey rules

[TrOoPeR2012]

[cloudmx]

Acrassicauda are fucking amazing.

[larz28]

Heavy Metal - the international language :P

[6KillswitchEngage6]

I wish you good luck my metal brothers !!

[steve2497]

Disicable metal culture huh? What is so dipicable about it jason?

[spygamer2015]

\m/Rock on Dudes!!\m/ Keep making music!

[kronik1973]

it's sad they had to leave their homeland, families and friends just to play the music they love. I wish them the best. MORE POWER TO YOU MY METAL BROTHERS!!!

[DaManJOE123]

their pretty good

[JasonVz]

Pieces of shit

Iraq is a joke

[southerniraq]

excuse me?? no iraq is NOT a joke..

49,730 dead iraqis is NOT funny

182,000 mass graves is NOT funny

people dying everyday is NOT funny..I dont understand how you iraqis have no patriotism, and your a perfect example, but i'm going to be one less Iraqi that doesnt care about Iraq, that's all thats important to me being one less iraqi that hates Iraq

[JasonVz]

Iraq is a false country created by British colonials from diverse not-so-homogenous peoples, It is a foreign colonial creation not from natives, the Iraqi state is nothing to be patriotic to, its short history has been an utter disgrace to its own people aswell as its neighbours. Mesopotamians, unfortunately do not enjoy a continous native sovereignty in the way Persians, Greeks and Chinese. Plus, my comment is in disgust of Mesopotamian involvement in this dispicable metal culture.

[rencrow]

JasonVz

your face is a joke.

[clinkercontrol]

well done guys ,,

[necroexmortis]

Cool

[akashadark]

bien hecho muchachos metal rulzzzz.... venezuela x-p

[njdevilsrock10]

whats the point of this war? if all iraqis could be like these guys here Iraq would be way better off. Iraq is in like a civil war and we just gut mixed up in it fucking bush is a dick go obama!

[guitarman069]

MAKE MUSIC NOT WAR

[bobholly328]

That band kicks ass! It takes balls the size of grapefruits to play in a 3rd world warzone like bagdad. Kudos to the band for sticking to thier guns and playing metal, even if it means thier life.

[8dontworry8]

kurds,armenians,greeks all hate turkey for no reason only the fact that there ancestors were weak.turkey influenced the greatest ever composers. most music instrument has been with turkish seljuks since 8th century.kurds did not contribute nothing to the world.they live in caves and moutains what more can i say.

[Queldorei]

Medache , you son of a bitch!

If you're so caring about the situation in Iraq , stop typing comments on youtube and go "kill" some people , eh?

It's always way easier to type something than to do it , isn't it?

[medache]

the son of the bitch is you son of Ataturk's secular Infidel

who cry and kiss the legs of the euro for accepting them in ُُEU

who help the west to destroy the Islamic empire

your a muslim just with the name

[Queldorei]

Well my *muslim* with not just a name friend Medache. Firstly , i'm not a muslim , i don't even like your Allah.

Second , it's not Ataturk's secular (and proud) children who try to get accepted to EU. Oh , who then? The government of some islamic bastards in my country try it , ass lickers.

And lastly...Which İslam Empire are you talking about? Which Empire dude?! All your islamic states are living in deep shit justified in the name of your so called god.

[12041976]

was it spike lee ?? anyway !!! Hope this guys can come to Norway and get some taste of our black metal traditions, at least black metal fits more into the iraqi cause !! Dimmu Borgir Fan ! Rock for Iraq !

[pixiepigpen]

this is so fucking cool... music is an escape, it brings people together..

seems like a good escape to be able to delve into music after the turbulence of iraqi life.

Total respect, keep on playing. That goes to all bands from iraq.

[aboomen]

well , its really lame of u guys to say that ur the only heavy metal band from iraq , i think u mean the only HEAVY metal band , coz im in an iraqi THRASH metal band called "AmargI" ...although there were a lot HEAVY iraqi bands before u , anyway , keep it up .. wish u all the best .

[photofu]

[rapedinhell]

[brick4sale]

God willing you will learn tolerance, and GOD will forgive you.

[Silwady]

[MustafaPresents]

And who says the Muslim world is monolithic.

[hassibah]

why should it be noted? who cares?

[islorock]

OOH dude

Fuking heavy metal rulze

[souljaEXVOTO]

if anyone deserves to play loud angry heavy metal, it's these badass MoFos!

[guitarist4iraq]

Hell Yeaaaa ... Keep It Up Guyz ... We're All Supportin U ... \m/

[TheJustinReport]

Music is only immoral if the lyrics and the people you are around are immoral.  Some Muslims say music is immoral, but where do you draw the line between nasheed with musical instruments and sound effects to sound effects and instruments with lyrics that are good and productive. What if you only have the lyrics but not the instruments or the instruments but not the lyrics? The blanket judgment that music is always immoral does not follow logic.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

"Some Muslims say music is immoral"

Some Muslims are clearly nuts.
