Alice in Chains - Rooster

[rokamzapajdo]

Your uncles are from Vietnam?

[rolybanks]

I love this song and video and only just discovered it a few months ago!

[Jesusismothra]

Mark Pellington is a fucking phenomenal director...

[verbusen]

Thats the most hardcore music video I've ever seen. Thanks for posting. (A Vet)

[wargasm58]

Shit Man, they fought Hail to all the vets, ...Giod Bless

[fyfe2def]

my dad missed conscription by one day in 1970. me and my sisters would not be here if he went. i understand dying for ur country but im glad im alive!

[kontekoekerd]

Would u die for those moneygrabbin a holes?

I wouldnt.

[verbusen]

The "we are doing it for a better world" argument is getting really old, I agree. The world doesn't give a shit and neither should we, Time to get selfish, every other country is.

[kontekoekerd]

You are so right.

[goodking44]

My uncle was over in 'nam, and I asked him many time's when I was with him for a few week's, on a hunting trip. He told me next to nothing about it.

And the way he acted when we were hunting you can defnitly see somthing diffrent in him.

I know this will be chezy to say but I might as well

When the war is over and the soldier turns in his gun his hands and mind will never forget it.

[leatherface12345]

my dad served in 'nam. he didn't come back... i don't even know who he was, but my mom said he was a great man.

[bluedaddy23]

@leatherface12345

Thank God for men like your father, if not for them where would be be, thanks to your family for my freedom! Peace Brother

[McGirl09]

Layne looks a bit like Kurt in this video

[Finedotwrx]

Any war music video is just so damn intense

[MrCCapper]

you all come across so sad , i feel sorry for you..jokes obvioiusly make you feel better..

[7Ronan1967]

RIP Layne, thats what I say

[Nothingnness]

ther's no point in tearing each other up as regards discussions co's wher's the point anyway...vietnam's far away

RIp all those who lost their lives

lets just appreciate songs instead of arguing...

[BigMarks52]

I served in Vietnam fuck all you goddamn hippies. Why dont you go out and fight for your country many of my friends died in that hell hole. Support Our Troops.

[NJPTOWN99]

lol you served in nam but your only 26, interesting, why dont u get a fucking life and stop trying to impress ppl on the internet

[doughboy3251]

haha, what a loser!!! such a low blow to even say that. bet he thinks agent orange is a cleaning product.

[ARXHMalakas]

time travel bitch

[cuzinjojo82]

Support Our Troops, doesn't mean you have to support our f'd up gov't. past or present. I had uncles and a g'pa serve in 'Nam. Luckily they all returned alive and mostly in one piece. All I have to say is you guys deserved to be treated better when you got home.

[120annabelle]

im in the military i ship out in 2 months and im a hippie so dont judge someone just because the way they chose to live there life

E2 MM Jessica Ann United States Navy

[staceyman]

God Bless...and go with prayers!

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@120annabelle Thank you :)

[systemfan777]

I support yall. You got guts. But I think you may be misunderstanding the hippy standpoint. Alot of their family were serving as well, and they didnt want to get a letter teillin them that their brother, son, or whatever was killed. But I agree, they dont know what war is about.

[scirocco09]

absolutely a great song!

[whitdogg83]

Hey Sparky: You were obviously not in the military bitch. Go suck Glen Beck's Dick. You don't know shit!

[Treepelt]

You really do have to look at an issue like this, mutually. On one side, war is terrible and sometimes not necessary, but respect those who did go to war, and went through hell doing it. Spitting and disgracing those who let us have our freedom is wrong, but look at it objectively as well, the other side also suffers, and probablt worse since its their civillians who are dying, not ours...just pointing that out is all. War is bad, but respect those who went through it.

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@Treepelt Thank you soooo much!!! SOMEONE gets what I meant!!! Thank you!!! Whizzle55 and Jeffisthedrummer and everybody else who ranked on me clearly doesn't think on both sides of the issue. Shows how simple minded this world is becoming.

[whizzle55]

DEEP

[jeffisthedrummer]

beatles forever92? U say ur a hippy? Who do u think spat on our troops? This is a great song. Fun to play, but the video is too disturbing and depressing for me. It's a hard reality of how it was.

[whizzle55]

i completely agree

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@jeffisthedrummer You obviously never studied your history books in school. I will be kind and recap that for you. Our troops did NOT get the welcome home that they deserved. When they came back from that shitty ass piece of land called Vietnam, they were treated like dirt. And why is that? Because they didn't bring home a victory. It wasn't just the hippies that spat on them...it was also people like YOU. Anti-war or not...soldiers do NOT deserve that treatment. Hope I enlightened you a bit.

[dudemanman252]

this is a good song

[rickym29]

Rooster is a timeless classic! my 8 yr old son has this on his playlist and he loves it! :oD

[TheBeatlesForever92]

This is during the time the counterculture(hippies)occured­.This is a very tough time in our history.I am definately a hippy;I'm very anti-war.

[whizzle55]

maybe this song will wake your liberal ass up

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@whizzle55 My brother is in the Military serving in the Navy. He's all the way across the world in Bahrain and he is making sure we are all safe. If anybody supports the troops, it's definitely me. I am anti-war because my brother has to be there and not here with us. Over what? Hmm? Some fucking pointless ass war. What are we gaining? Nothing. War is not the way. But I will support the troops. Troops are not the war. Troops are what prevent the war...which is what I agree with. Start thinking.

[TheBeatlesForever92]

The Vietnam War was fucked up.We lost men.But the men who came back were spat on and called names.That is shitty thanks for trying to save our country.Sometimes I'm ashamed to be human.Some are just selfish and rude.

[whizzle55]

shutup

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@whizzle55 Fuck you. Simple minded twits today...And I bet you are older than me. Can't even use proper grammar.

[Eirik36]

thats funny cauzz i thought u were anti-war and a fucking hippie

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@Eirik36 I am anti-war because my older brother has to be thousands and thousands of miles away from his family because of this fucking pointless war. I support MY troops because I have blood in the troops. Bet you don't. Fuck this government and fuck you assholes who think that fighting is necessary!! All power to you! I hope one day the world is cleansed of all the foul people on this planet! Barbarians!

[jlsparky7]

Thats liberal hippys for ya.

Im proud of our military. Thanks for all you do!

[TheBeatlesForever92]

@jlsparky7 I do support our troops. My brother is thousands of miles across the seas protecting people he doesn't even know. I have plenty of reason to hate this fucking war. Just because I don't support war does not mean I don't support our Military. My blood is over there risking his ass for you!! That's why I hate war. But you are ok with it as long as you get to stay low and safe here away from the gun shots. I bet if you had family out there, you would think along these same lines.

[Indecent666]

When it comes to grunge, Alice in Chains is my favourite band. Nirvana, Pearl Jam or any other band out there cant make such a powerful song as "Rooster". Too bad that this song didnt get the atention that it deserved.

[000Ratchet]

i agree, but i think Nirvana is tied with them. But I don't Really know yet.

[PolePrincess69]

Vietnam was fucked up, i have respect for anyone who fought at war, they done it so the likes of us, the disaffected youth can sit on our asses and watch mtv all day

[ogutjog]

Wery good song it have some strange atmosphere

[bigbarge1]

this story is about jerry cantrell father jerry canterll Sr

[filthysystem]

War. War was suppose to never happen again in 1918, burn me once bla blah . Are we ever gonna stop killing each other for shit we don't really need zeitgeist movement I preach it a lot but I don't. Dying in a war and killing yourself is almost the same thing , Especially if Your enemy was Good old US, I'd be scared shittless , Put your self in others shoes before you try and talk shit about how war is honor, it isn't, Not since that first time.......

[TheUberjay]

rofl

[TheUberjay]

This reminds me of when I was serving in the falklands and I saw some of the argies being blown to bits....harsh times

[THEREPLICAN]

you fukk of,,,you feel sorry for your self in the falklands,,,,don't you feel sorry for the singer in this band you fukk,,,,go and cry in a corner please......bitch....stop feel sorry for your litte soul,,,you survived the war and he didn't....go and fukk you and all of your family bitch,,,

[RAIZEDBYWOLVEZ]

one of the best rock songs ever written and sang in my opinion..gives me the chills evertime i hear this song...RIP LAYNE

[Sammler82]

This reminds me on Afghanistan. They were playing this song there, too.

Thanks for posting, AIC rocks all time.

R.I.P Layne
