[joelfeuk]

Reply to the contrary that this would be a “pro Gaddafi-song. (positive/supporting)

This track in NOT A PRO or glorifying Gaddafi track. Equals Non supporting!!!

Front242 general message is non political and the actual message is, WYSIWYG Find out for your self, the “official version” is not always correct.

Front242 where often misunderstood during the 80’s Just like so many others (SkinnyPuppy)

( I did host/arrange live events in Sweden with them both during the 80’s)

242 still rocks!

[BackwardsEvil]

@joelfeuk A rare, quality comment on YouTube. Seems SP were terribly misunderstood by many. And yeah, F242 is more about critical thought than support of ideologies I would guess.

The Road to Hell is Paved With Good Intentions...

Another "leader" who thought he had all the answers?

[syderwarp]

BRB I go dance on pils now!!!! =D

[AndyLeedham]

[drecksheep]

[johnnyrye]

Vive la Belgique! :)

[DETHANNBERG]

l'origine du nom du groupe reste sujet à discussion comme exemple la résolution 242 du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies.L'idée selon laquelle la ligne de démarcation du 4 juin 1967 est la FRONTière légitime d'Israël. FRONT 242

[CCtjehh]

we love in such a sick little world...

[CCtjehh]

@CCtjehh I meant *live

[saskoukraina]

honestly watching the CNN footage of the missile launches with this in the background...watching richard 23 flail around and growl "KADHAFI"...most relevant EBM track in at least 6 months.

[louping111]

fuck kahdafi^^

[rtmnmk]

Does anyone know where the intro sample was taken from?

[fabizio]

@rtmnmk Opening sample is of Louis Farrakhan (Nation Of Islam leader from 1977 to the present) addressing the 1985 "saviours' Day" convention in Chicago on February 24, 1985 and introducing al-Gaddafi who attended via satellite video link:

"We who are opressed love those who fight against oppression and the opressors."

"Brothers and sisters it is with great honour and privilege that I present to you the leader of the Intifada Revolution ... from Libya, our brother Muammar al-Gaddafi!"

[fabizio]

! FUCKHADAFI !

[AntiMusick]

Fuck Gadhafi!

[SIGNALAOUT242]

Secular dictator to be replaced by dictatorship of the Muslim Brotherhood? Muslim Brotherhood calling for the head of Gadhafi. the irony. the lesser evil?

[caine7sfg]

Nice post Troll....Top tune....

[seb93nsm]

they are gods ! Front242 rules !

[skywalker2150]

vive das belgium ...We 're the leaders in EXTREME EBM .....

[Mindbender05]

@skywalker2150 gotta admit that. belgium started that dope! i still remember my ever first LP when i was 12... "This is Electronic Body Music" with Front 242's "Body to Body" on it. Can you image a 12 year old listening to that womans moaning on that track? lol

[jrezzak]

Fuck yeah! Such a great vid and great song!

[trollcrusher242]

[242Kain]

Ja!! ich sehe euch wieder am kommenden Sa 04.09.10 im X-TRA, am Limmatplatz, Zürich ca. 22:30 - 23:45 Front 242...........in Rythmus bleiben!

[benjaws]

follow the leader?

what i hear is 'fight all the leaders"

[steen242]

@benjaws Over there they pray for the leader ! No thanks !

[TimFreh]

@steen242 he (Khadaffi) won't stay there for long anymore. It's almost over. Let us pray for that. This song will be even more historic by that time.

[eggfleece]

@TimFreh funny this song is a pro gaddafi song.. hopefully he smashes the rebels and the invaders.

[PLAJEBO]

lol FLESH POUND coming!

[myelevatordream]

Hooo HA

[neojudgment]

[jxwinter]

BADASS SONG!!!! Follow the Leader!

[dmkt912]

Loved this song more than 20 years ago, still is very cool today! Seems like yesterday... I was dancing to this music, wearing those big old steel tips Dr Martens, clubbing in NYC...Now i have 2 daughters in college. Time flies and it flew by me. Happy memories...

[trollfinger]

@ocelot10

No it's not.

[LEGIA242]

white energy power music

[klaskatt]

Was at this Tour in Sweden, Vasteras 1986, freaking good memories :D

[brunopluta]

nice electro sounds commandos front by front

[zlimvos]

what drugs is this for? any ideas?

[trollfinger]

@zlimvos

All of them !

[TheAnanda9]

Good Memories by hearing the song. Good ENERGY for creating own music Stuff in the mid 80´s. Good old EBM Century. LOVE, LIGHT and POWER xxx

[warjunky444]

this shits heavier then the sun.

an EBM band, but Funkahdafi is a definate industrial track, and a incredible one at that!

[mrtvi46]

An EBM band, but not _any_ EBM band. 242 invented the genre and this is an EBM track.

[warjunky444]

Debateable.

I think this track sounds a bit more like electro-industrial, its less rythmic and more... frenzied.

I mean I realise earlier EBM was much heavier then what people are used to nowadays (and that includes later F242) but I think since this is less dance orientated then the rest.

Maybe youre right.

[mrtvi46]

It's very simple. EBM borrowed noise from (early) industrial, repetitiveness from Kraftwerk and mixed it with the pop compositions of synthpop.

It's an EBM song made by the founders of that genre.

And btw, I could easily dance to this! 8)

[VddEnergise]

briljant

im happy that i made a remix of this song

[MASINDUSTRIA]

Peruvian fans greet the best EBM band :

Front 242 !!!!!

[Blamberweiserscheise]

@MASINDUSTRIA

First man,

Viva La Vida Loca !

Greetings from Brussels, Belgium.

I love you, being some way from Mexican origins.

[kristo242]

Perfect

[sexxdwarf]

real industrial. so fucking heavy

[MgawL]

I saw them In Lens in 80's at the Sylver club, one sucker throw lacrymogene in the hall, but it was fun anyway.A good band, remember also neon judment era

[BatMarcel10]

Not serious i hope, but EBM = Electronic Body Music...

[schattenkreuzz]

wath is EBM, something to eat ?

[maikusch]

nee, das war soylent green :)

[VddEnergise]

lol

[kikkirow]

wow this is old

[louping111]

la meilleur en live avec commando-mix !!

[acidkiller303]

this an AWESOME song!

[chewbacscar]

excellent!!

[mtop129]

Hungarista, maybe you should sit down and actually READ the Talmud before posting next time ;-)

[DMOutsider]

This is awesome!!! God bless old school Front242!!!

[kouglof01]

Du grand Front 242!!!!

[ImperativeNation]

What movie is the sample at the beginning taken from?

[Hungarista88]

Its not a movie, it is Kadhafi's voice from the 1970's when Khomeini Ayatollah gained acceptance (and, with this, power...) in Iran

Kadhafi founded the El Fatah movement, to fight against ZIONIST oppressors in Ghaza strip and elsewhere - look at the war crimes what the zionists committed this january, or in the summer of 2006. They did so according the Talmud which states that only the jews are humane, others are animals to serve the jews, and can be slaughtered without mercy

[skrapyard444]

its Louis Farrahkahn introducing Kadhafi...hes the leader of Libya

[ronalda3132]

Wicked version!

[gymlover1995]

great

[lagom242]

oh god, this song and Commandomix...

[lecarrepointcom]

je me demande si ça n'a pas été enregistré à la chapelle a liège en 86 ou 87 ça

[zaziiina]

non c'est au plan k a bruxelles

[rudi1957]

Non. Enregistré en Suisse en 1985.

[Kollaps242]

The Gods!

[draxfck]

Wonderful!!

This is a masterpiece!!

[gothic1hobbit]

You can see where Leaetherstrip got there, or should i say, HIS sound from :)

[lorelei06150]

super video! trop de bons souvenirs avec un Richard 23 qui est une vraie bête de scène...

[mrpatric5]

FRONT 242 The BEST Of Electronic Body Music !!!

[benjaws]

no THE inventors of ebm

[JezPreset]

no. the inventors of ebm were DAF. 242 took it to the next stage.

[maxxmorizz]

have seen them in the 80`s - definitively the BEST of ebm!

[reybg1]

this is one of my favorite bands ever, bad ass music !!!!

[radharc24]

yep

[grav04330]

i bought the 00:00:02:42 OFF album (the one with the chick singer) like 10 years ago when I was in junior high and it changed my world. that instrumental track Junkdrome was just something I'd never experienced.

unfortunately I've never gotten into any of their other music/albums... kind of weird. I guess they are a 'live' group, but that one album just seemed like a really trippy concept project that was meant for headphones

[VincentWo]

The BEST Of Electronic Body Music !!!

Le tout premier concert de ma vie = Front 242 au Vooruit à Gand (belgique) dans les années 80.

Et revu dernièrement à l'Ancienne Belgique en mars 2006

Putain, ça m'donne des frissons à mort d'écouter çà à fond...

[jameseaton24]

The live version is without any doubt in my mind the best tech industrial track ever. I prefered Nitzer ebb, foetus and Puppy at the time but this song has always sent shivers up my spine, nothing is harder or funkier. Hoohaaargh

[AVSTUDIOWEST]

The first time was in 1984 on seaside fest in Belgium, it was an eyopener, a step further then

Cabaret Voltaire and Psychic TV.

and still the best, without them.. No Prodigy or Chemical Brothers.. F..king Great!!!

[doctorwhonico]

Front 242 and The Neon Judgement are the founders of belgian electronic body music.

[bolaspace]

techno terror !

[pelotadura]

Lo MÁXIMO!!!

Lima - Perú

[Infinityg20t]

Tyranny for you the best live show I have ever seen 1992 anything they did with remixing in 2000 doesnt even compared

[doctorwhonico]

Also the best cd they've ever made!

[jofach]

LOL, CD?

This was released before CD's

Vinyl!

[doctorwhonico]

I was talking about Tyranny for you...

[klaskatt]

I too, was at one of those gigs, was in sweden, vasteras 1986 :-D,couldnt be greater.

[sirmortador]

With love from Brussel!! Bring back memories!!!The godfathers of Electronic Body Music!! R23 for president

[SELFsufficiently]

ça c'est la classe putain merde à la fin !

[alexlp26]

Me toco la suerte de verlos en el Hard Rock Cafe en GDL Mexico en el 2003, fui acompañado con el amor de mi vida, lo de llamar la atencion fue que los organizadores, en el previo programaron rolas de nitzer ebb

vive la belgique'vive front

[fabizio]

The context of this song is after the US has bombed one of the Kadafi palace in Libya, during 1985-86 (dont remember exactly when and why, i think because of a terrorism act diriged from Libya)

[gusesalq]

Bombing was in April, 1º, 1986. Kadafi's daughter was dead in attack (action by F111 airplanes).

[etgeman]
