Massive Attack - False Flags

[temistoclebanana]

The part at 2:47 is soooo awesome. Wish it would last longer.

[999alex9991]

@temistoclebanana try the unkle remix, it's about 7 minutes long.

P.S: it's on youtube

[temistoclebanana]

@999alex9991 Thanks, but it ain't this part of the song in the remix. The remix is kinda house-like.

[csoares95]

Is that "the bends" by Radiohead at the end? Anyways, great vid, great song!

[SpecFlops]

This song is really beautiful. So many emotions reflected in one song.

[queyosequiensoy]

yo también quemaria la bandera de la unión europea, la de estados unidos e israel. Quemaría a todas, sólo crean divisiones y conflictos.

[bloodstone256]

4:50 going to the dentist?

[ManiacalHex]

Amazing video!!

[morrissey07]

Just bought this on 12" vinyl with artwork done by Del Naja. Amazing track. Amazing artwork.

[BellTollsForThee]

@morrissey07

Damn i need that artwork! ahaha. I love the fact that he never really stopped doing art.

[Seiferzed]

i don't get why people with political psychopathy are the ones who lead and destroy the world while the normal people with awaken conscious are just making music ...

[PufuletiSiBenzina]

@Seiferzed you will know when you re ready

[Seiferzed]

@PufuletiSiBenzina that was more like wondering not a question ... but thanks for smart assing anyway : )

[PufuletiSiBenzina]

@Seiferzed i wasnt beeing a smart-ass...they make music because they are superior to the politics cockroaches(my apologies to the insects for this comparison) you said yourself:people with awaken conscious

[Seiferzed]

@PufuletiSiBenzina sorry it sounded like you're making an age joke ..anyway i don't consider being a politician is any more important than a musician , i just hate the fact that only the cruelest psychopaths reach up high to be in charge , maybe if they listened more to music like this the world would be a better place , but again .. that requires them to have a soul .

[vergilleinheart]

I cried, dunno why

[JW32584]

@vergilleinheart Because the world is Fucked... watch Zeitgeist:Moving Forward-it's on youtube & on my profile even... makes me sick, & sad.

[newblife]

what album is this one of?

[oxfordye]

@newblife

I think it's on their greatest hits collection.

[Godblessandgoodbye]

from wich album?

[325minutes]

@Godblessandgoodbye

Massive Attack – Live With Me

[Godblessandgoodbye]

@325minutes

thanks

[MaiconAlissonFuzon]

David Icke has some good words.

[MaiconAlissonFuzon]

I don't know which song is older,

[MaiconAlissonFuzon]

I heard "Where do we go from here", like it was taken by the track "The Bends" from "Radiohead",

[MKCyrax1997]

@MaiconAlissonFuzon The Bends is older

[annanimal6]

seriously one of the best videos ever made. excellent song.

[eringobraghpro18]

It's sad that many Americans, don't know about Massive Attack. It is so much better than some of the shit that we conjure up in say, Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars. Ugh. Just thinking about them makes me want to puke.

[katanas1]

that molotov should have gone to the USA flag imo

[LegendofGod333]

@katanas1 Why? 3D and Daddy G are from Bristol.

[Brgy978]

Great music

[RainPoetry]

Wow the lyrics were prophetic for the UK riots.... Had no idea. Listening to this for a diff reason...

[bawb100]

the bends!!!!

[alcazu2000]

Este man es igualito al Sarco de La Vendedora de Rosas

[AysieElf]

I'm shocked. Only 151,929 views? I.... I'm starting to send this to all of my friends!!!

Every day.

[Sabugoxxx]

mah fav from them

[whitestwidow]

damn, this is great.

[dhucaluk1]

video seems relevant right now

[futureproof84]

@dhucaluk1 hah yeah, i came here to watch this because all this mess reminded me of this good ol' diddy.

[dhucaluk1]

@futureproof84 i was wondering if anyone else revisited this video for the same reason... and yes

[MultiJanche]

Nothin' changed..

[evergladepictures]

@ejableja EU has betrayed us and sold us as slaves! fuck the EU INDEED!!! They have crushed our freedom and dream and life of peace and enjoyment and prosperity..now cause of EU europe is a fucking dump

[normalnamesplz]

Massive attack with lady gaga ads, SRSLY?

[MegaRedada]

охуительно!!!

[Drolkin]

Vevo took this song over? Tell about selling out Massive Attack.... sad world. Time for some hate mail.

[gabiefran]

Just perfect! 

[dhucaluk1]

good set of teeth right there

[Sakreos]

Genious...

[XimbetterthanuXx]

look up: porcupine tree- fake plastic trees

[XimbetterthanuXx]

@XimbetterthanuXx i meant radiohead- fake plastic trees

[TheMistaGamer]

@XimbetterthanuXx LOL WTF... On the other hand Radiohead is FUCKIN AMAZING :D

[BloodszAryan]

@XimbetterthanuXx look up pixie - where is my mind

and then look up pixie - fake plastic trees

[SuperfriedJellyfish]

@BloodszAryan I think you mean Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. Where is my Mind is an -awesome- song.

[NoEUnoNWO]

fuck the EU!

[Deppeltje]

Is that the bends from Radiohead you hear at the end? Somewhere around 5:19?

[papernicolas3]

@Deppeltje yes, it is! good catch.

[DoreikuDrake]

What album is this track on? I can't find it on any of them.

[ALEGCXYISZ]

@TheMistaGamer U FUCKING ASSHOLE DONT TELL ANY SHIT IF YOU DONT SHURE MOTHERFUCKER THIS SONG IS ON COLLECTED (2006) YEAH! DONT TALK SHIT YOU DONT KNOW OF MY FAVOURITE BAND IGNORANT IDIOT...

[TheMistaGamer]

@ALEGCXYISZ Haha LOL I love Massive Attack too. It's just that I accidentally posted this reply to the wrong guy on the wrong video :P

[UndeadChocob0]

@ALEGCXYISZ It was actually originally released with "Live With Me" as a B-side.

[ALEGCXYISZ]

@DoreikuDrake its on Collected (2006)

[TheMistaGamer]

@DoreikuDrake Yeah sorry dude. The "Mezzanine" reply was for another guy on a "Teardrop" vid :D

[deidara19973]

what flag is that?

[takorola]

@deidara19973 

Flag of Europe

[fluffycake1]

Great tune - great video. Love Bristols music scene. One of the best in the country.

Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Roni Size, Smith and Mighty, Kosheen and new sounds from the likes of DJ Pinch, Appleblim, Dub Mafia, AllFlaws

[littletreerunning]

@fluffycake1

[robeyclark]

Is it irony that this can only be seen through the haze of Vevo?

[Fudg3M0nk3y91]

@robeyclark sure is. 

[thekkl]

@robeyclark How is that ironic?

[edgrrr101]

He's on his way to the Tesco in Stokes Croft.

[lukebentley123]

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

[Ssarah97]

Wow, this song actually inspired me so much, i wrote a poem (though i wouldn't really class it as a poem) about the thoughts it gave me, i quite like it actually (:

[Fudg3M0nk3y91]

@Ssarah97 share your poem

[Moleman4ever]

vevo sucks even more ass than before. every time one of their videos hits shuffle i have to manually hit play.

[dorrick]

@wllOvOllw uh no stupid, if massive attack randomly gets a radio hit and one of their songs ends up on vevo you gunna stop listening to them? NO! Don't be such a god damn rebel to the point you song like an ignorant moron.

[wllOvOllw]

@dorrick

I know my musica, some good bands get a vevo deal, whatever

but NOTHING that vevo ADVERTISES like GAGA or BEIBER ot TINIE TEMPAH, is EVER going to be worth listening to, its not my thing. So I still stand by what I said, anything vevo shows me I know not to listen to, they dont promote good music. They promote whats popular among mainstream listeners.

[Rammsteinrapes]

What album is this on?

[pbturkey2]

I never realized the ending part is from the song "the bends" by radiohead. fucking massive attack being awesome and shit

[Hughesta74]

@pbturkey2 Holy SHIT

[Zaicciks]

WTF is Bieber doing in the background of this priceless video!!!

[aozain]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY DO I HAVE TO SEE JUSTIN BIEBER ADS WHEN I GO TO WATCH MASSIVE ATTACK!??!?!

[stephenbarron725]

the next false flag...will be in isreal. watch the mosgue fall..

[depro9]

BIG UP!

[crguardado]

Excellent video, excellent lyrics, excellent sound. FUCKING AWSOME!

it is clear that people that listen to this, have a their own piece of mind and are not easily lied to by the system and all the dogmatism in the world.

[purej1234]

anyone else hear radio head at the end??

[Vixlacimaa]

@purej1234 "Where do we go from here?" Every time, haha.

[purej1234]

@Vixlacimaa sweet not only me that recognizes thom yorks voice

[tomaSchlosser]

@purej1234 It reminds me of Wolf at the door or Idioteque in some moments.

[1DREAMTRIP]

"Not in our names......" Respect to Massive Attack for standing up and denoucing the illegal wars and occupations in the middle east.

[yass278]

@1DREAMTRIP i agree with you, but at the same time i ask you where do you live?if your in a western country the reason you have your job, your freedom to watch this video, is because of those illegal wars.ive traveled the middle east, and to summarize the state of it, its been a third world shit hole with the exception of dubai.

[iathghlas]

@yass278 people should learn that there must be another way of living in peace without leaving some others in darkness.

[realityismyreligion]

@iathghlas Please, explain how. Then go tell the UN, Barack Obama, and everyone else, and fix the world. THEN I'll like your conceited, shortsighted comment,

[iathghlas]

@realityismyreligion you must be aware of the fact that every war made by a powerful country on a poor and uneducated narrow minded people's lands is just another reason to make more money if you are as wise as to find my comment as a simple hippie dream. what i mean is that if we cannot try to see further than our government's false attempts-or false flags, then we are no different then those people who can't open their minds because they don't share our living standarts

[Tibberclaw]

@realityismyreligion Don't waste your time with these guys. They are delusional in the same way as the religious nuts. All they do is assert, assert, assert without ever providing evidence to support their conspiracy theories, and what little they do bring to the table has already been soundly refuted. It's pointless.

[TheShideh8]

In school i would just bite my tongue

And now your words they strike me dumb

The flags are false and they contradict

They point and click which wounds to lick

[Izaak247]

lol i think im too mature for liking this ;)

[olyansincs]

the video looks so peaceful, I yawned and drank tea while falling asleep at the end.

Perfect.

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

I just realized that the smoke particles in the beginning are fake. Well they look so real. Good job, Massive Attack. :)

[clevamonkey]

adverts fack off

[benkdj]

the whole time Im like THROW IT!! 

[v4lkyr]

@benkdj

haha

[katium94]

hey i've just found that from minute 4:48 up to the end of the song, the song "the bends" from radiohead starts playing... "Where do we go from here?

The words are coming out all weird

Where are you now, when I need you"

or maybe it's the last part but i perfectly distinguish it

[ilikestrongbow2]

theyre talking about junkies !! lol



[sandj777]

You are all fucking retarded. Only like three people actually got the meaning of this video right. I even saw on fuck-nut user say this was about the Paris Riots, what a god damn fucking retard.

[missielovelie]

i think mezzanine is their best album, lately i've got right back into it and i still like it as much as i did when i bought it years ago!

[TallPoe]

More people are alive today than have ever died and the quality has greatly reduced us all, we are all on special offer these days, there are so many different sides to choose, usually with their own personal agand. This is what is happening out there on the streets on a global scale every day. We have to do something that doesn't involve something terrible that just sends everyone into a frenzy, maybe appreciate each other more, the way we did when we were scarce.

[TallPoe]

@TallPoe Exctinction is the word on everybody's lips these days. Appreciation is reassuring. pls excuse my poor spelling, I haven't slept...

[trollinnole]

from all the comments i read i had my hopes up for this song, but it seemed to lack focus, it isnt really representative of the majesty that massive attack usually entails, dont get me wrong, its way better than the vast majority of songs ever created, but it lacks the emotion that most massive attack songs inspire in me. their best songs tend to be very subtle in their exposition, but this was a bit too flat...

[rdpdo]

J'adoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oore

[jum1801]

It amazes me that anyone, even adolescents with minds full of mush, would think that a few musicians whose chief skill is manual dexterity and a sense of timing, could in any way be an authority on anything, much less political issues. They're emotional and intellectual juveniles whose political depth and experience comes from mouthing the slogan du jour and striking what they imagine to be a pose of intellectual militancy. To see them taking themselves so seriously is rich humor indeed.

[wellWTFisavailable]

@allyoustupidassholes : Who cares what this song is or is not about... it kicks ass, so stfu and enjoy it & leave your political arguments & 9/11 conspiracy theories on yer blogs... sheeshh....

[FantasyNinja]

I think this video is about the Kosovo War. One of the reasons Kosovo went to war was because autonomy was abolished..... and later when Kosovo became independent from Serbia in 2008, it got a new flag (the one in the video).

The UN put together a design contest for a flag....so having a guy throw a molotov at the flag makes quite the statement.

[Wolfineyes]

this is what u get when ppl mix music with political bs

[Antistar211]

This song is nothing to do with 9/11 it's about the riots in paris

[sandj777]

@Antistar211 Your a fucking retard. Go die in a god damn fire.

[TheSasha1111]

Their new Album...Amazing...Ask and you shall recieve. it goes to show playing with fire... Pain, Regret, Embrace where you are at the time give yourself a hug mentally.. physically..Believe In Your Power to Become the Change...To Judge Is to be Judged.You Are the Universe!!

Love !!

M.A is coming to Vancouver so excited and Finally I will feel like I Belong to Something Greater,;)

[ChilloutSessionZ]

these guys are firm believers that 911 was done by usa, which they should...

[comfortablynumbb]

@ChilloutSessionZ that's an incredibly naiive and extreme statement after osama admitted it many times and there's plenty evidence to prove that islamic terrorists perpetrated the crime

[ChilloutSessionZ]

@comfortablynumbb where is the evidence? You can show me evidence of that, show me the evidence that they did 911. Show me. Everything Ive researched lead stragiht to USA and Israel? So what are you smoking?

[comfortablynumbb]

@ChilloutSessionZ where is your research? some hippy crackhead blogging on a website? first of all if anybody is smoking, it would be massive attack and their fans. I personally have nothing against that if its geared towards creating great melodic tracks such as this one. However, when it comes to politics, Osama and his buddies publicly admitted to doing it many times, the Taliban which restricts basic human rights to their citizens admitted it also.

[comfortablynumbb]

@ChilloutSessionZ im a huge massive attack fan but i dont agree on their political stance because its just as extreme as what they're trying to oppose

[comfortablynumbb]

@comfortablynumbb instead of focusing on nonsensical BS that you read in rogue websites, why aren't you considered about the human rights that are violated on a daily basis by muslims to OTHER muslims in iraq,saudi,iran? If a woman cannot show her arm or attend school or have any part in society except making babies and then get stoned for shouting at her husband, that's the real problems that need to be fixed.

[TheWindfull]

great tune from the massive.

[BeauSylvester47]

cold war ftl

[TheArcticMonkeyz]

epic stuff

[eliactu]

si intense!!!

[littlejon3G]

What a Great song...loved it!

[littlejon3G]

False flags are used as pretexts for war. A government attacks it's own Country, blames another, labelling them as extremists thereby persuading the public into supporting Illegal Wars. After all, There is nothing more profitable to the corporate elite and those anti-human Rockefellers, than a war. There are people of the opinion that 7/7 was a false flag attack...

[Melangelli]

@littlejon3G

What is the 7/7?

[littlejon3G]

@Melangelli A series of bombings in London on the 7th of July 2005 that Killed more than 100 People.

[999alex9991]

@littlejon3G you said ''There is nothing more profitable to the corporate elite and those anti-human Rockefellers, than a war'' but why every country are in a deficit. there are more then 1 problems, war is just a small part

[JeffMkII]

The anger is palpable in this track.

[Obliviousspartin]

This is an awesome song!

[nachito72]

the lyrics of this song are amazing.

[Orfeas91]

I am on vacation in France and I noticed I can't watch these videos from EMI in my country, Greece. :(

Pity...

[Revan1701E]

Awesome vid. Oh, and does anybody know where I can get that hat the guy has in the vid. lol...... I'm serious, where can I get it?

[myname89yearsago]

any thrift store...

[emilysusan]

I love this damn song, but what government are they rebelling against? Is the UK? Unites States??

[atomkaht]

U.K. That's the European Union Flag that's burning.

[clockworkdreams]

i was thinking it was against the E.U. rather than the U.K.

Or rebelling against the whole damn system.

[blanoz]

@clockworkdreams hope it is against the whole sistem. I mean, brits arren`t better the EU. I mean..what? colonies, decolonisation, suck the financial juice from other countries, takeing advantage of the lack of education wich exists in 80% of Terra countries. ...no better. I think this is just an anthem for the neo-revolutinary-youth movement in europe. ( they know where to hit)

[NeoItoh]

@clockworkdreams My vote is for the system as a whole, and home-complacent, war-obsessed government.

[MissShadow871]

@clockworkdreams definitely against the E.U. you can even hear it ,they promised better world in E.U. and what we have ?????;/

[annanimal6]

This song is SOOO good and the video is so dope.

[Izzehfy]

This song reminds me of the poem Nothing's Changed

[pbk212]

eugh english anthology

[ledemiurge]

The track is very good. The video too. But I'dn't play them together

[rwvwrvrb2rb]

its pleasing to see even anarchists have access to good dental cover in the US...

[clockworkdreams]

i think you mean the UK.

[SpeedyStorm]

This is the type of stuff that has to be on the new album. Not like any of the crap that was on Splitting The Atom (except for that title track). This is like Protection meets Mezzanine, and I think that's what you'll see on their album next year.

[annanimal6]

I love "Psyche" off Splitting the Atom, but that's about it. haha. I would like to see 100th Window meets Mezzanine. Although if the album is Protection meets Mezzanine, that would be great.

[SpeedyStorm]

Splitting the Atom EP grows on you. I like 3 out of the 4 songs on there. Bulletproof Love just doesn't do anything for me. But Psyche is amazing like you said, as well as Splitting the Atom and the way Pray For Rain opens up at the end is beautiful. Have no doubts about Heligoland.

[humpadihump]

Dont mind my mistakes. I m not a native english speaker, but still :-(

[humpadihump]

Thank you for that brilliant consert. Love you geniuses.

[theworldisour]

Magnifique. Cette chanson me donne des frissons. La voix parait monotone, mais cela lui donne toute son expression.

[Armenianofadown]

"There is no paranoia in the modern age" - Dr. Andrew McDonald.

MaktG11 - This isn't a friggin thread.

[MaktG11]

I just posted what I thought...I know thinking in our day in time is frowned upon but you can just call me ole-fashioned. I bet you didn't even try to look up COINTELPRO, I bet you never read one document that purposes an alternative story about 9-11 but somehow you have an opinion on the matter, how? How can you say no to something you have never investigated? your ignorant to this subject...

[Eldritchard]

I understand thats the definition of the term false flags you take to have the most meaning refering to the song. but I'm sorry to say the False Flags the song refers to is the loss of identity. C'mon to fook its obvious 'Parisian boys WITHOUT your names' its about theHomogenisation of humanity.

We all know what a false flag assualt is, we were disagreeing that was what the song was about.

3-D isnt gonna pick a 'easy to understand pick from the box' sentiment for a song.

Or not

[rwpla]

very well said!

[pittflyin]

hit the nail on the head about society frowning on thinking ;p

[revlets]

Everyone needs to mark MarktG11 as spam, instead of replying, because that's essentially what they're doing. anyways.. massive attack.. mmm..

[blackadder733]

MaktG11, do you live in a bomb shelter?

[5vinci9]

oh your one of those conspriters about 9/11 and your information has good standing but this is a song on YOUTUBE so lets not let government and politics get into this okay and thanks for reseachering your information than others who just say shit without any back up to it

[revlets]

dont fuel it vinci, they're fucking retards. its a song... not 9/11.. tangent based muthafuckas gotta ruin good music.

[MaktG11]

Excuse me for asking this question because it is going to sound rude but can you listen to a song without reading the comments?....I love this song.. Please do not classify everyone that rejects the offical report as one label "conspericy theoriest" Everyone uses that term negitively... I know people are scared of the questions behind that day but never asking them is not an option...But like I said this song is great, it has a lot of thought within the lyrics

[MaktG11]

Before I dig in this subject I would like to let everyone know that the info that I share I have done background checks on each resource. I am not a blind follower of the Movies "Loose Change". These movies did inspire me but I did my own research. By the way in Nov 09 on the NY ballot they will vote for a new investigation into 9-11. I will tell you that your gov't has secrets that would scare you to know, Look up COINTELPRO. Im doing a paper on this subject for my political science course.
