Creedence Clearwater Revival - Effigy

[WinstonsPapa]

To all my Brothers in Arms past and present.....Never forgotten....January 5, 1968 - Operation Niagara I to map NVA positions around Khe Sanh begins. 20,000 NVA troops under the command of Gen. Giap attack the American air base at Khe Sanh. A 77 day siege begins as 5000 U.S. Marines in the isolated outpost are encircled.

[CoyKiyote]

I'm 40 and I prefer newer stuff like Justin Beiber and LMFAO.

[gerard094]

@CoyKiyote You're nothing but an asshole

[CoyKiyote]

@gerard094 Nonsense I love this song like crazy!

[TheTidvicious]

12 people are crispy...

[LoneKook]

Great song. Has a sound like something Neil Young might have done circa late 60s.

[Polterguist]

One of the best CCR songs, if not the best.

[Weissmenchland]

Lyrically this song is speaking important things. One of my absolute favorites.

[DoctorCluny]

That intro is so cool.

[NammVet]

6:32 Minutes of cold shivers. (:

[evilsorby]

i got an effigy drop in dg today

[Oscar60x2]

@evilsorby what r u doing in my plaelist

[ih8music]

awesome song. still love Uncle Tupelo's version better.

[MrBodypro8]

They were huge in their day. I'm buying this on i tunes right now. I hope I can get it.

[Reddaytonadog]

That's all I felt all this year, being burned in effigy.

[chamberl]

Yes very creepy dischord (but good creepy)

[Aivopiirakka]

@chamberl You mean the E? It's just played so loud it jumps a bit on F's side. I wouldn't call it dischord at all.

[HORSESTEEL10]

esta rola ES IMPRECIONANTE E IMPACTANTE DESDE LA A HASTA LA Z, WOOOW!!

[palacios871]

one of the best band from cerritos,california. that was music on those days.

[Dman700p]

Clearly this is a response to the grey alien epidemic happening at the time. Who is burning? Perhaps that was the sentiment at the time in this fascinating experiment called freedom, but perhaps he was talking about how the public response would be if in fact the government released all the files from its known cache of ufo and alien abduction cases from all over the world? Hmmmmm.....Fascinating!!!!!!!

[HeyDufus]

@Dman700p Huh??!

[teamtagaly1]

Best song to play Battlefield Vietnam tooooo <3

[gimmieanamedamnit]

@teamtagaly1 Uh, wrong song. You're thinking of Fortunate One

[Disinclinator]

I heard this in 1981,and loved it,messed up the record from playing too much.They really rocked.

´como era verde o meu vale.`

[wilburtrex]

How, HOW, as a classic rock radio station listener, did I not hear this until I was in my 30s?

[byronfickett]

@wilburtrex

Because all commercial radio in these United States is run like a business. Therefore, only the most "popular" songs get played because the stations don't see it as fiscally responsible to pay for the rights to many songs that weren't smash singles. Try calling in to request a "deep cut" from one of your favorite artists and they will more than likely tell you that they cannot play it.

All in the name of the almighty Dollar.

[wilburtrex]

@byronfickett Thanks for the reply! It makes sense-- I heard this for the first time in 2006 and it was like finding a friend I never knew I had!

[jwalsh671]

I heard another rendition of this, but CCR stomps it into the ground!

[ffairlane57]

From the Republican viewpoint, The enemy in this country went from communists to blacks to asians & other minorities to muslims to homosexuals.....always looking for a scapegoat for the nation's ills , but never themselves. Now they have all their media propaganda machines like Foxnews & Limbaugh to scare old people and the uneducated.

[m0nkEz]

@ffairlane57 From the Democrat viewpoint, everything is the Republican's fault.

From my viewpoint, pointing fingers only makes it worse, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," remember that.

[anonymousman555]

@ffairlane57 This video is for a song, keep your political talk, especially your bullshit half thought about ideas, out of these comment sections.

[ffairlane57]

@anonymousman555 , no fukkin' way man!

If you were old enough to understand the era of this music, and the messages these songs were about (CCR's "Fortunate Son", or CSNY's "Ohio"....these songs WERE political.

Plus, your'e telling me how to comment, and ithis isn't even your youtube channel.

[anonymousman555]

@anonymousman555 Not sure what you mean by what you mean with youtube channel, but what i was saying was that if you think fox news and rush limbaugh are the propaganda flooding the brains of people, you have not thought hard about what the propaganda is that's flooding our brains. Also, I may be young, but if you do choose to respond please tell me what you think this song is about because i believe you couldn't do that.

[deblovesmusic100]

WOW... do I "LOVE" this. John Foggerty your "AMAZING"! one hell of a "distinctive" voices from my life for sure!!!! I grew up with you! LOVE! LOVE! "Willy and the Poor Boys" you rocked then and still NOW! Love you!

[chaizg1956]

CCR, some of the best, what has brought on this world !!

[captmatt47]

I'd love to hear this on vinyl again.

[captmatt47]

Timeless masterpiece

[wolfgeist1]

this song holds a special meaning for me and i had despaired of ever hearing it again. thanks for posting. another song i like is sailor's lament, and you don't find much of it anywhere either.

[JohnSwampthingRae]

Still an awesome song!

[LEOKO13]

Is this MUSIC?? the voice is from my God of Music John Fogerty, Happy Birthday John.

[nickbarcenas]

[K0L0NTAJ]

[grandelugano]

rock music at its best.

[01cipo23]

Superior sólo de guitarra al final de la canción. Como escarpias.

[Misfitsix1]

[AdriJPSoares]

This song meminds me of Hey Joe from Jimmy Hendrix, the accords are the same

[NKPokemonster]

i do heroin to this song every day.

[elmasguapodelbar]

tiene aires de hey joe!

[AdriJPSoares]

@elmasguapodelbar yeah, the same accords

[kiltor6]

I used to listen to this song in Iraq and just watch....this song is sad and dark: but at the time it helped me carry on and do just do my job.

if I ever become musically inclined, this is the first song I'm covering.

[apickerl]

@BlackSabbathory

I love the Gov't mule cover of this, you should listen to it if you haven't all ready!!

[BlackSabbathory]

@apickerl Will do, thanks.

[jimmyischill5790]

@BlackSabbathory

It wouldn't be a bad place to start the rhythm guitar is fairly easy to play, the ending solo is pretty ridiculous though.

[ffairlane57]

Guitar solo sounds so Neil Young.

[97chux]

CCR BEST OF THE OLD ROCK BANDS

[CCRLoVeR97]

@97chux YEAH but a big bit better then this music today!

[jammerman0101]

THIS RULES as an off the radar not one of the big hit songs by CCR . It's a tapestry of feeling and sound .

[longride012349]

bueno, John Fogerty es mi musico favorita tambien!

[recuerdo000]

tuvieron muchos éxitos que escuchamos en Mexico, pero ésta es mi favorita

[Zaddtheman]

Tupelo done it better.

[pakote67]

una de las mejores bandas, una cancion bonita.

[laxspanker1984]

I get kind of pissed when southern moron conservatives take in CCR as their own, when they are really from California and a actually quite liberal...I'm liberal too, but I've loved their sound since I was a kid, but, what can you do....

[ffairlane57]

@laxspanker1984 , CCR dubbed themselves "swamp rock", even though there aren't many swamps in California like there is in Florida, Lousiana, and Alabama. That's why southerners pick up on CCR.

[MrTdw1954]

@laxspanker1984 That's a pretty dumb statement even for a liberal. How about just enjoying the music like most people and not looking at it through your political microscope,,, moron.

[Aporifos]

@MrTdw1954

It IS a political statement, dumbass. I hate to break it to you, but most rock bands were/are liberal. When you actually care about politics, society, and personal freedoms, it is hard not to be.

[MrTdw1954]

@Aporifos I didn't say ANYTHING, DUMBASS! Why don't you direct your DUMBASS comments to the person that made it, DUMBASS. 90% of people think they are of above average intelligence. You clearly fall among the 40% that are wrong, DUMBASS. And just because you are a liberal dumbass and you like their music or their lyrics does not mean that the band members share your dumbass politics, dumbass. They're selling damn good music and enjoying it not on your personal political crusade.

[CrusadeAgainstFrench]

@laxspanker1984 Since its already recieved enough justice from other commenters, im not going to call you names...instead i will tell you how music shapes the people who listen to them. It is how CCR is connected with the south. Even though the beatles were from England, they were probably the biggest influence on modern culture in America. Oh and politics are constantly changing, there is no way to tell if they would support modern liberalism.

[ffairlane57]

@CrusadeAgainstFrench , they are modern liberalism. what are you talking about?

[thenewlizardking1]

[RumTumTanner]

Fucking guitar solo....gives me chills.

[beatle8070]

@RumTumTanner igual a mi xD

[spraddr]

@RumTumTanner

TOTALLY! People forget what a great guitarist Fogerty was--and still is. Instead of just shredding all over the place, he crafted these amazing solos with a lot of harmonic complexity--creating leads that actually SAY SOMETHING in the process. His chordal approach is much more along the lines of a guitarist like Bill Frisell (who, I suspect, learned a thing or two from listening to CCR when he was younger)

[labora4best]

The thing is too many people are rude ,brutal and ignorant and try to sell you their behavioural problem...huh!

[marcbrmb]

I listened to Gov't Mule cover too, they made it quite different and added some pieces from other Creedence songs. It's not bad, but it lacks some feeling and that crazy e note guitar sound. This is by far the best version. You can't compete with Creedence hehe

[Metaalhoofdje123]

Shrinebuilder covered this live a few days ago, it was pretty awesome ^^

[MrKt212]

john is amazing,a true gift to humanity

[dentpopcan]

their not boys... their men, big ol sexy men...

[uncaringgenius]

I always thought this song kind of sounded like Hendrix's, "Hey Joe." Don't get me wrong though, it's still a solid track.

[TeamMastaPr2]

Last song on the Willy and the Poor Boys album!

[abuelotejano]

Excellent quality!!! LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[sakur178]

omg! i love the solo of guitar *-* ! it is pure country (h) Creedence Rocks!! 8D !

[jipeess]

4:45

after +30 years this part is still giving me goose bumps!!!

[IceCubeJohnson]

This is my favorite song! One of very few songs I would consider Perfect. If you like this one check out their song "walking on the water". CCR's got some Amazing songs.

[revivlerech]

@IceCubeJohnson

Yes! Walking on the water is one of their unknown gems.

[ferhando88]

good time that never will return i hate new music!

[lamarcountylady]

Always been my favorite song by CCR. Lots of great music, but this one is awesome.

[dmwpot]

I had this album, first album I ever got. It is a beautiful tune, I can get lost in it.

[markdksc]

@dmwpot Music today simply does not have any soul. This song digs right in. 

[austinzeppelin]

Love it man

[Lionsnacke]

I'm not agree.This R' n 'R never will forget.And by the way,this rock not classic,but its real country rock. CCR The best of country rock groups.

[Lionsnacke]

chickenskin man..........wow

[cdbeckm]

This is one of the greatest protest/revolution songs ever written. The silent majority wern't keeping quiet anymore....remember Quan Duc? Who is burning? This song is timeless, and sadly...always will be...good luck folks...it's all coming back around. The Illuminati is listening....

[bud4207]

[bud4207]

This is what very good music is all about,It dont get no better then this man!

[bud4207]

So damn good im gonna play it twice....really loud man!

[greg0058]

Make that guitar scream John.

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

Was 10 when CCR hit. Everyone loved them. We lived down in bayou country and had no idea these were California boys. I dare anyone to listen to this LP and any other from CCR and not feel lifted up.

[razadecobre2]

CHULADA DE CANCION...TODO EL CORAZON EN LA EJECUSION...A DONDE SE FUERON ESOS TIEMPOS DIOS MIO...UN APLAUSO A ESTE GRAN GRUPO...DESDE MEXICO...ME QUITO EL SOMBRERO...

[60spastlife]

Always been my absolute favorite CCR song. YES!

[zekethefreak61]

Great tune. Don't even think this was on their greatest hits.

[Cainefan]

@zekethefreak61 You're right. This, and several other amazing songs (Ramble Tamble, Keep On Chooglin', Bootleg, Feelin' Blue, etc) were left off both Chronicles albums! Okay, so Chronicles Vol 1 I understand due to the many top hits on that album, but I'm still surprised they were left off the 2nd!

[recharchic]

Yep, the kids from El Cerrito California, here they are*******!!!!!!!!!My folks.

[wills12341]

This is great. Warren Haynes/ Gov't Mule rips this song apart!!

[pakote67]

esta cancion merece un 10 perfecto

[weatherboxlisp]

The solos on this are astounding, especially the one at the end. I love it. CCR never go over the top, and that is why they are one of the greats.

[TheBayouman]

Oegggh,hits me right between the eyes.Paw.

[i8numbers]

That big open E is so fucking heavy. I wonder how they got those dinky sounding instruments of old to sound so epic. This is a GREAT CCR tune!

[StreetSurfinn]

@i8numbers are you talking about the note at :27 ? cuz thats awesome

[i8numbers]

That big open E is so fucking heavy. I wonder how they got those dinky sounding instruments of old to sound so epic. This is a GREAT CCR tune!

[greg0058]

Sounds like the Fogarty Brothers are trying there best to strangle their guitars here.

The lead bits on this song are awesome, it leaves a ringing sound in the ears, if you crank it right up nice

[sfdog1369]

Creedance Was The Shit And Still Is 40 Yrs Later

[StuC5]

I still have my vinyl LP, bought in 1971. This was always my favourite track, just touching out the brilliant 'Fortunate Son.' This song is spooky, musically and the way it taps into the darker side of man. Fogerty is an observer of humanity par excellence. The sledgehammer guitar chords in the playout send shivers up the spine to this day - this song is always on my list of 'best album closers'.

[croco13]

What f...ucking wonderful this melody is!

[Rightsideup]

This song is the shit! People that say Creedence were just a 3 chord band obviously only know the radio hits.

[thechewydude]

@Rightsideup

AMEN

[cdjones19]

@Rightsideup and definitely haven't heard "ramble tamble". so badass!

[Rightsideup]

@cdjones19 Ramble Tamble definitely inspired some people! The lick that leads to the bridge has been copped many times! Stairway to Heaven comes to mind!

[Rightsideup]

@cdjones19 Or It's Just a Thought, Wish I Could (Hideaway), Walk On Water, heck the list goes on and on!

[cdjones19]

@Rightsideup too true. someone mentioned that the chord progression of the Clash's London Calling sounds like Walk on the Water. Now when I hear London Calling that's all I hear. No doubt Joe Strummer dug (or would have dug) John Fogerty. Probably my two all-time favourite musicians

[EltAkErO]

Fogerty, Number 1

[VMSfootball07]

I remember when I got my hands on this vinyl long about 78. I treasure it still

[bigleo1992]

que cancion ta bonita

[thrakgel]

para quien comenta esto en español, comparto la opinion, es musica para toda la vida, el corazon palpita igual que hace 40 años,

[thrakgel]

great music really, love it

[TheBayouman]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Can someone load "Porterville"?

[honman92]

this song. wow..

[drindle69]

awesome song

[AlbertenAnneke]

This song sounds how it must be, realy great, but the song is to short :-(

[DirkjeA]

We all know JP wasnot in CCR, doesnot mean he doesnot play well. To me he is one of the most influencial guitarplayers of this age, along with a lot of others, so calm down dude.

[mrgimp420]

I love this band but I had never heard this song till recently. Why is this not more popular? This song is one of their best!

[easternmind]

@mrgimp420

Totally agree! I first heard this covered by a band called Uncle Tupelo. I'm totally blown away by this tune now! It's probably my favorite CCR song! Just so good, and I love the political side of it!

[Dicedrum]

Rock on! Brother! this is an underated classic!

[fischen80]

@mrgimp420 yes, but even the whole band never got that recognition they would have deserved!!

[dinkeldal]

schitterend nummer ...de jaren gaan verder en effigy blijft

[fang666LSD]

whats with the assholes comparing page to fogerty, get real......these are ignorant comments as far as the ghosts of terrence mckenna and hunter thompson are concerned. music isn't a fucking contest, it's art or a expression of the spirit of man. this song is delicious. rings the cosmic bell in my book.

[london2z]

@fang666LSD I wasn't trying to compare Page to Fogerty. In fact, I have always idolized Fogerty and his abilities. I saw CCR twice in the early 70's, in Hawaii. And I have made more positive comments about CCR on YouTube than anyone else. It's just that some people have made negative remarks about Page, and I have always been in such awe of him. I'm a guitarist, and I still don't know how anyone on the physical plane can play like that. He's got to have some Yoda in him, somewhere.

[60spastlife]

@fang666LSD Right-fucking-on, man. Seems like all my life Ive been around people who wanted to play this heated, ignorant, lets-compare-all-musicians- to -eachother game. Im waaaay past "up to here" with it. Your comment says it perfectly in my book.

[dianathurman]

@fang666LSD well said

[obikoe]

schitterend nummer , een van de beste .

[WRCzATL]

Jimmy Page played Led Zeppelin songs better than anyone. And John Fogerty played CCR better than anyone. Nice how that works out, huh?

This was one of my favorite CCR tracks back in the day, and that low E is how it sounds when you really lean on the bottom string of a 3/4 scale guitar. Awesome.

[london2z]

Love the way Stu tweaks that bass note. Or else it was John, on his e-string? Awesome song- so soulful.

[starbabe58]

i like this song awsome

[lekezenman]

..what the fuck?

I think this is the greatest non-sequitur in the history of YouTube.

[requiredattention]

the reason why laws are made is to please the closed minded people. the reasons why they cannot take the opinions of people like me seriously is because of those who are so obvious to being a part of drugs that they cannot give us a fair say. the obvious people make it impossible to share what ideas there are behind hemp being a renewable resource you could save so much money on.... but insted they see a drug and a drug only cos of the obvious ones...and never see past their own fears and hate

[Linda2667]

This was and ismy favorite CCR song, it was my boyfriend Darby`s favorite song, not long after this was released he was murdered by one of his best friends, he had just helped him fix the engine on his car...I missed him then, I`ll miss Darby forever......R.I.P. Darby!

[76Solo712]

My favourite slow CCR song! But still didn't get the sense... :(

[masteriansun]
