The Vandals Play For U.S. Troops in Iraq. (Sadr City)- Nice Army Moshpit

[ripoutarmy]

soldiers cant mosh for shit!!!

[TheLfMendoza]

I don't understand

Why a punk band is singing for militars??

[ripoutarmy]

@TheLfMendoza beacuase they want to

[54markl]

Now they are the Beatles of Iraq! Hooray! Sometimes I think I'm Clint Eastwood.

[Freakyboy1994]

not moshpit pogopit!!!!

[TheSentinel488]

Man, this is one U.S.O. show I wish I could have seen when I was in the Army. The Vandals are the shit!!!

[MrShepardSmith]

the vandals supported george w bush so i support the vandals.

[theyellowdellow131]

That would be scary to be in a mosh pit with soldiers....



[x3somevanillasex]

lol at 2:06 dude starts skankin!

[kabal721]

entertaining the invasion army how low can you get!..

[bets86]

fucking amazing, just got chills! Love the Vandals and the troops (fyi Im a Canuck)

[punkdude178]

I'll join the Army to see these guys

[plasterofparisify]

Fuck yes!

Im in the US Air-Force and I would be thrilled as fuck to see The Vandals if I was deployed!

[venom061986]

and to say the vandals arent punk for playing for the troops, shows your god damn ignorance, punk is not giving a fuck what others think and doing what you want to do, and many punk bands support the troops, they may not support war but they do support the troops.

[skateweb]

@venom061986 but if they support the troops they are support the war, is the same

[VFL83]

@skateweb well the war is over now so i can support this now.

[offsafety805]

awesome vid. thanks for sharing. 14 people are affiliated w/ al qaeda. BTW josh freese would have never dropped his stick @ 2:30.

[nds84]

ME DA PENA POR DE VANDAL QUE PULOTUDASOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­S TITERES DE BUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[excremento420]

I dont think the Steve-O lineup would have done this......

[panzerphallus]

Fuck you! You fucking retarded shopping mall "punks" and your complete missing of the point. DKM play with the police, Vandals go over for a buck and play to the fucking murderers of innocent people. USO punk rock. Are you evil or just plain stupid???

[attilathefun1]

@panzerphallus fuck you too. there are no innocent people anymore. kill everyone.

[venom061986]

@panzerphallus you are an ignorant piece of shit, you wanna start shit over something you know nothing of, you make the US a joke in every aspect, fuck what you think, it doesn't mean shit.

[panzerphallus]

@venom061986

I took my punk from Joe Strummer, you took yours from Glenn Beck, I guess... Enjoy your thing but don't call it punk. Your league and department is Ted Nuggent and country-born agains. Let us have our thing, you have the rest of the world anyway. And if you don't, you will invade or bomb the shit out of it.

[FilipeDametta]

Da hr .... from Brazil

[uriangatobataclan]

Shit that's some mosh going on... it seemed like funn...

[azarrab]

This is awesome. I wish i could have been there, unfortunately, i was at that exact same base about 5 years later. they turned it from a FOB into a JSS. Shawra Um-Jidr. I miss that place.

[BloodNorseGods]

circle pit would've been awesome

[OffTheWallGaming]

Favorite line from this whole album- Life aint worth a fuck! fuck aint worth a shit!

[hiundhallohier]

drummer fail at 2:30 lol

[lucaspw12]

@hiundhallohier  jajajajjaja

[migoffspring]

Cool !, Byron uses double pedal.

[HellboundBlock]

fuck this SCUM !

PUNK is against capitalist war and capitalist peace !

up the iraqi resistance !

[hatonbackward]

@HellboundBlock what the fuck is wrong with you?

[HellboundBlock]

@hatonbackward

nothing....problems??

[rockeiradomal]

what the fuck! punk rock is against military shit and against war!....you don't know how your fucking country kill people across the world. Saddly for the band, banned from my list.

[kobrakai420]

@rockeiradomal That's bullshit. The Vandals have stated they were an apolitical band numerous times. People can't seem to get it through their heads that the troops themselves don't make the decisions to go to war. The Vandals are playing to group of young guys (most of these guys here are probably 18-24 years old) who are around the same age range of those who would normally attend their shows stateside. But the only difference is they are facing real danger every day so you don't have to.

[kobrakai420]

@rockeiradomal And before you say it - don't give me that bullshit line I hear all the time, "If they sign the contract that means they are deciding to go to war." That's an ignorant half-assed statement in it of itself, typical of whiny wanna-be punk rockers . Basically it is saying that absolutely no one should join the military and our country shouldn't have a standing military in order to defend our nation and it's interests. Let's see how long you (or I) would last if that were the case.

[kobrakai420]

@rockeiradomal None of us veterans made the decision to go to the sandbox (unless we volunteered) - we were ordered to go. The Vandals aren't any less punk by deciding to entertain us and lift our spirits and put a smile on our faces while we were over there from 6 months to over a year hating life and wanting nothing more than to come home to see our families and friends and to not smell fumes from the shit-pond and dodge rockets, mortars and bullets every day. Please grow up.

[B166ERqed]

hahaha holy fucking shit I remember when they played....Henry Rollins showed up earlier that year but bounced rather quickly when we took a few mortars....

[swampchicken2000]

@staphinfection

Please, you wouldn't have the courage to defend anything...you sound like another whiney kid. I applaud the vandals for doing shows like this. Don't blame the troops for a shitty war...they follow orders and do their job, they don't make policies. What's your excuse for being a crybaby?

[TheTRIAS]

This si probably one of the most bizarre videos in punk rock history, holly shit...!!!

[grimeyingo]

With the drummer from Pennywise! wow what memories!

[likawildcougar]

sick video

[Efri3nd]

I like this it shows us that soldiers also like to mosh pit

[staphinfection]

Worst pit ever......

And this is total irony, the Vandals playing for the troops of a shit political war.

[pilotesseJ]

It was very charitable for you guys to go do that, wonder if any of them did go home to grow mullets?

[jdheilman54]

HELLL YEAH WE ARE WARIORRS!



[jdheilman54]

Put a glass up for our warriors.... I love our men... FUCK SOME SOME SHIT UP.... Bco 2-2 08-09 2-2inf

[69poopinmouth]

suprised to the vandals playing for US soldiers . .least its not like hawthorne heights

[joesnothome]

hey pitstick. youre a fucking idiot. and no im not a solider.

[MansourtheAmazing]

thats awesome!

[coerly]

Fucking Awsome...I've been to a lot of punk shows, but never seen guys standing around the pit with automatic weapons !!!!!

[Pitstick]

fuck soldiers, theyre all the same.

[anglocowboy]

Vandals are the only popular punk group I know of that aren't too pussy to support our fighting men and be proud of their country.

[SugarRush121]

pretty bad ass

[marconciomarconcio]

The drummer used to sing "United Anarchists"

[xploi]

Rock to support iraq occupation for oil and power!

Yeah!

Seriously, this shit sucks hard.

[acidfreak1967]

wheres the circle pit at?!?!?

[CrpzGrndrKrnx]

lul the 20 people who know who the vandals are are moshing

[verveshawn]

God-Country-PUNK ROCK!!!!

[jmx1900]

Any non-coms or officers in the pit?

hahahahahaha!

[rockanoise]

filete !!!! el meo wuebeo los milikos!!!

[8sIcKbOi8]

Byron McMackin (Pennywise) is fucking overwhelming at drums...

[XaviShMusic2010]

PATÈTICO!!!!!! :(!!!

[MrPeinilla]

@XaviShMusic2010 excelente...CONSERVATIVE PUNK

[joeescalante]

Puddle of Mud went, and their tour manager Fitzjoy had a great time and arranged for us to go back and he was the T.M for us. The contractor was a company called A.K.A.

Thanks for the kind words. :)

[attilathefun1]

@joeescalante this is unbelievable thanks for posting.

[AFIEBHC]

ha nice! how the hell did you guys arrange this shit?x

[meyerss12]

excellent, big balls to the vandals, you guys are awesome, for those that throw in the negative comments about the army and punk rock....its only music, you don't really have to live your life by that meaningless punk code, if so you couldn't watch this because your squat would have no electric and you cant afford the Internet cafe because the government you oppose don't pay you enough unemployment benefit...ITS ONLY MUSIC..RELAX AND ENJOY

[ganjam0n]

haha punk and army? no i think not, this is so gay

[RunningP123456]

@ganjam0n support the troops not the war.... Punk and homophobia? no i think not you fucking ass hole

[MrPeinilla]

@ganjam0n eXPLOITED ARMY

[0Gigio0]

ok, a punk rock band playing for U.S. troops calling upon the war... I really like the vandals but this is disappointing

[stefanoo4]

da ex militare devo dire ke..... mitici vandals :)

[VandalsOfficial]

And Now We Dance!

[stefanoo4]

the name of song?

[toasty138]

hooah!!

[GIOVANNIRUIZ420]

i think thats awsome... that they played for the troops

[wickedpunk090]

at LONGSEAN i was there i started the pit and it IS Sadr city during 1st cav 2-5 cav's deployment from mar 04 to apr 05 back when it was called fob wareagle ....... and thats the drummer from pennywise filling in

[KidMeevin]

how surreal is that, a bunch of soldiers moshing to the line "and now we dance like warriors.." sweet thanks for posting this.

[pistolaeyes]

awesome!!

[youboobzer]

Mullet, yeah....

[skotxmeyerx9]

this is awesome!

[Phantomballs]

fucking cool! Vandals play for troops!

[spazoramic]

thats rad!

[TheJonathanPace]

B8???????????

[kevenx]

@TheJonathanPace i was exactly thinking the same.

[mrmeasi]

WHY??

[sk69aja]

GO HOME IN THE BODY BAG

[TheElephant79]

LOOOOL, great Pit ! Before that I was like... you go to Iraq, you get bombed to Pieces, you have to watch The Vandals. Still better than Nickelback.

[staphinfection]

Favorite Vandals song!! along with summer lovin' cover.

[1GatoNegro]

and in that show there are absolute no ladys

[1GatoNegro]

the Vandals could have played for regular people in these places and would have been better

[HelloImMateo]

I love this song. And its hella funny to see soldiers moshing. haha

[nellyg8002000]

@HelloImMateo Ha dude i fuckin cracked up hard watching soldiers moshing to the vandals haha , awesome shit!

[fahim113]

Support the troops. Oppose the war.

[SkaPunk026]

Stupid kids that complain about the Vandals playing for the troops ;) even if the war is illegal, it's too late to come back and regret it so we fight. cuntos =]

[jonanjello]

Vandals! Excellent stuff to see.

[stevusarelius]

I was at that concert you fools who are talking S**T. Who cares who it was, we enjoyed it after all the crap we endured on that base. All of you should be happy you can even get on the internet! Thank a soldier you and support us you ingrates!

[ILShred4FrenchFries]

@stevusarelius Sounds like you don't know what punk music is about. It's pretty much ironic that the vandals played for you guys.

[kobrakai420]

@ILShred4FrenchFries Whatever punk music is about is moot regarding this. The Vandals aren't playing for the president and all those in charge who make the real decisions. These guys decided to go halfway across the world to raise the spirits and morale of the men and women serving their country away from home and their loved ones facing being shot or blown up every day. I commend them for having the balls to do this knowing little wanna-be "I hate America" punks would find it offensive.

[toasty138]

@stevusarelius hooah./.. thank you all of you guys there... i think its great the vandels had the balls to go to iraq and play...

[xploi]

@stevusarelius FUCK YOU SO HARD

[staphinfection]

@stevusarelius If you had actually "defended" our country, I'd applaud you in every way. But while you're out there halfway around the world fighting a war of greed and oil, whose going to really defend US if we ever really get invaded...? We the people, that's who.

They should rename the "defense" budget, the OFFENSE budget... What a fucking waste of talent, waste of lives, and waste of money.

[chainsawanthony666]

thats good shit!

[InternetUser1999]

The Vandals are idiots they should be playing at anti-war demonstration not for troops involved in an illegal war! America and its allies really fucked up Iraq and are now fucking up Afghanistan! All troops home now!

[Anonymous5211987]

Just an honest question for you............... would a legal war be okay?

[boddingtons101]

fuck you they are supporting the troops, by entertaining them with music, to get their minds off this fucking war, what have you done to support the troops, I would love for all my friends sitting in iraq, and afghanistan to return home, but it wont be for a long time. you fucking hippie.

[AL6025]

tottaly agree.........THE USA HAS NOTHING TO DO IN AFGHANISTAN, GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[kylosius]

we've been in afghanistan longer.

[Johnlnw]

Wow ! =D

[whynotAnni]

There is NO Josh Freese there!why ypu put tag Josh Freese here on video???какой нах джош фриз то я не пойму?это же не он!да еще и на Бэ8 играет...пиздец....но все равно круто))))

[joeescalante]

hahahahaha. go look at what Josh Freese puts on the tags on his youtube channel. He had just taken a bullet diving into a fox hole, so he was in the infirmary at this time. Sorry.

[whynotAnni]

man)))i'm just fan of josh and most of bands where he took part!)))so that's why i'm was so confused...cheers from russia!!!you rule guys,and this video rules anyway!))like those B8 cymbals and soldiers in mosh)))sorry for bad english

[whynotAnni]

@joeescalante Watched this again an that's so cool man!))been waitin for soooo long for your new album!!!that laws authority or smth shit i don't know problems just suck

[luizexu]

fodasso, faz bem um poko de descontraçao =)

[Isaywhatyouthink]

Think what you want about the war itself, but support the troops no matter what. Most of them don't want to be there just as much as most of us don't want them there. I had mad respect for The Vandals before, but it's waaaay up there now.

I sure hope you can get this released soon!

[InternetUser1999]

Hey how you support the troops no matter what? What about all the tens of thousands of innocent civilians who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan because the troops have gone there.

The only troops we should support are the ones who are refusing to fight and are speaking out against these unjust wars.

[Derpatyderp]

Get out of here. War is necessary. There will never be "World Peace". If you don't support your OWN American troops, then you go out there to Iraq or Afghanistan and see how hard it is being a soldier.

[Derpatyderp]

Like they need your hippie bullshit to make their day. The civilians get killed by the militias too, its not like theyre having fun killing people, they fucking sacrificed their rights and lives just to go through this, and this is how you respond?

I wish our country was a military dictatorship just so you would think again.

[pinkfloydfan111]

People fail to realize that soldiers don't necessarily want to be there either. Whether you are against the war or not...these poor citizens sacrifice themselves so that you don't have to (some of them do, others do it because they don't even have any other options.)

[Isaywhatyouthink]

Hmmm...where have I heard something recently about troops refusing to fight & speaking out against these wars? I think his name was Major Nidal Malik Hasan? Killed 13 innocent people? Yeah, that's the guy.

With all due respect, I'll support the ones who are brave enough to step up and do what their country asks of them.

[scatmanwfm]

Are you seriously trying to link having an anti war stance to this major who murdered people? Wow pretty pathetic attempt.

[Isaywhatyouthink]

Not exactly. You can have an anti-war stance all you want, just don't join the military. That's all I'm saying.

[punkinette0724]

That's awesome! Makes me love The Vandals even more!

[InternetUser1999]

I thought most punk bands were staunchly anti-war. By playing a gig for the troops in Iraq they are making it look like they support the invasion of that country. They should instead play at anti-war rallies.

[VandalsOfficial]

Most punk bands think for themselves.

[InternetUser1999]

Yeah and most punk bands think that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are totally wrong!

[lrrp25th]

hahahah i was there for that. yes thats 2/5 cav in camp wareagle 04/05

[zzzeeerrrooo000000]

hahahahahahhahahahhhaah

[joshuahernandez956]

[davidval88]

so all punks have to think the same?....thats pretty lame bro.

Grow a pair and think for yourself. Stop letting all the wannbe bands tell you what to think.

[PANDAPANDAMADNESS]

One of the funniest things I've ever seen. I would've killed to be a fly on the wall on the board meeting where they decided to bring over The Vandals..

[migoffspring]

sabian b8 cymbals.

[ShartimusPrime]

Yeah, weird he's using B8s right? You think they'd bring something better quality. Unless they bought they're shit in Iraq.

[migoffspring]

yeah, the drummer byron uses Zildjian K cymbals.

[Sederra]

rad.

[skatepunkzero]

I love the blackhawk down refrence

[ShartimusPrime]

Fucking mengs!!!!

One complaint; I wish there was at least one shot of Josh. That would have been cool.

[thirstybest]

josh aint there

[fucker71]

josh wasn't playing the show, they had byron from pennywise filling in.

[ShartimusPrime]

lame. Commented before they showed Byron.

[askice77]

Wawaweewa! Would make a cool video...

[mx434]

Nice, go Byron!

[XTIMExTOxRISEX]

Holy crap....Byron!

[JohnnyRotten26]

That was sick. Thanx Joe!!

[sparklecityphil]

that is really rad...great vid
