  • Excellent sound quality bro thanks!

  • there wriht whats so civil about war anyway

  • Sic semper tryannis. Death to Federal tyrants, either 1861 or 2011.

  • well done... do we ever learn

  • awesome video dude

  • Well done video

  • I can't stop to listen this

  • i love this song GUNS N ROSES FOR EVER

  • The part 2:27-2:55 are TRUE ALL the TIME

  • falls flag

  • I recognized a lot of these pictures. I've been studying the Civil War for about 20 years or so. Have visited some battlefields and recognized some in your video--Gettysburg and Fredericksburg mostly. You had a Union unknown at the end. It would have been nice to see a Confederate unknown also. No war is civil, regardless of why people are at war.

  • bvhbdhv

    

  • Uwielbiam tę piosenkę. Jest taka prawdziwa. Powala treścią jak i wokalem Axela. A żebyście jeszcze coś zrozumieli: the best song for me!

  • ¡¡¡AMO ESTA CANCIÓN!!! ¡¡¡ES MI FAVORITA DE LOS G N' R!!!

  • ¡¡¡AMO ESTA CANCIÓN!!! ¡¡¡ES MI FAVORITA DE LOS G N' R!!!

  • C´mon Lincoln you can ! Fucking Lee do you want slaves ? Suck this !!

  • i love the jump in this song 1:23

  • This is probably the best song from Use your Illusion.

  • @endthedisease this, estranged and coma

  • nice video and song :)

  • very well put together!!!

  • nothing like americans to kill americans.....and other pepole

  • Wonton destruction at its finest. North v South. Betcha it took years to clean up this mess when all was said and done. Best oxymoron to date; Civil War, followed closely by; Military Intelligence......

  • "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

    - Jimi Hendrix

  • @tasdox1 such a true quote..thanks for sharing

  • @tasdox1 love FOR power :P but keep it up bro!

  • aosme song dude

  • WAR IS A BIG ...A HUGE BUSINESS OF SUCH A SMALL BUNCH OF MILLIONARIES, AND WHO PAY THE PRICE ARE THE PEOPLE... WATCH THE ZEITGEIST VIDEOS AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND... PEOPE NEED TO OPEN THEIR EYES... AND THINK, EDUCATION IS THE BEST WEAPON AGAINST THE TYRANTS...

  • The images attached to this song are amazing. I have always and will always be a huge fan G'N'R. But this adaptation is F'N' awsome.

  • FOR a start, take into consideration the military budget of the USA. You guys need 'cutbacks'. Start with your defense budget.. It is adknowleged and accepted by anyone who knows anything that China spends much less on their military than the US. And they are not only beating your country now (and carrying on no wars_) Give that some thought

  • AWESOME

    90's were the best period of human kind!!! Since 2000 the world, music, movies and other things are getting worse, more crappy. Too many special effects, to much selling pressure, less feeleing and that "something". The world today is missing something.

  • I have one question. Why is the United States in a constant state of war? Answer: Simple .....because it feeds the rich and buries the poor. US of A better figure out how to deal with the world (ie China and India) in a different way,

  • @171jane I believe that the Usa has nothing better than to be a bullie to the other countrie's than worrie about their own people......

  • @171jane How? Easy to say but how?

  • Great song. It kinda reminds me of the Doors Riders on the Storm. Guns n' fucking Roses are the best.

  • The billions shift from side to side

    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride

    For the love of God and our human rights

    And all these things are swept aside

    By bloody hands time can't deny

    And are washed away by your genocide

    And history hides the lies of our civil wars

  • Good!! :)

    

  • just imagine what america went through during the civil war, what's so civil about war anyway?

  • Youtube should have a button you click that automatically brings up the lyrics without having to find songs with the lyrics. I know most lyrics to all the songs i like but some words you just cant make out. Anybody agree ? Oh shit !! sorry meant to say i LOVE this fucking song !!!!!!!

  • This song is not about the american civial war of the 19th century. Fuck you idots.

  • thats why at the beginning you here the tune "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" being whistled. It was a Civil War song. Im sure they included that and called the song Civil War just to be random.....riiight

  • **88Sskinhead** The fact that you wrote 'raise' instead of 'rise', I very much doubt yr prediction. Fu*king brilliant song, fu*king epic guitar parts.

  • South will raise aggain!

  • i'm glad the south got demolished they deserved it

  • XOXO

  • As JW Booth said, "Sic Semper Tyrannis!!". Amen.

  • If only, if only we had repelled the northern invaders....

  • Comment removed

  • Confederate soldiers u are not forgotten

  • He is saying there is no need for war at all......

  • @leafs11cups i know dip shit

  • I reckon you chose viper to compensate for the stump that even your own mother is ashamed of...

  • @pete26454 talk shit all day it aint hurtin' no one

  • Ha ha! Like that reply viper, and so I'll leave you be. Take care.

  • @pete26454 thx bud

  • @viper90988 Sadly the Confederate are looked at as white trash and kkk But they used to be ones of honor and hard working. God bless the southern Gentalmen

  • i dont think the lead guitar in this song is the best thing about it. the acoustic guitar playing rhythem, the piano and the bass and the vocals are the best

  • love the guitar work in this song

    some of Slash's best

  • thats the only truth about war:

    it feeds the richs....

    the poors of all races lost lands, happiness and dignity.

  • I like the song and the message that this video is giving out

  • If we don't let those we truly loath speak we don't believe in free speech at all - Noam Chomsky

  • Thank you! I needed to find a song about war, and this fits the description perfectly. Now im off to make a video for my social studies class. Thanks again

  • this song is rockin girls do u agree haha lol pce out

  • I'm still geting gose hide when i hear this song, was some years ago i heard it first time :)

  • it's from the film "cool hand luke", a sixties cult classic in which paul newman portrays a rebelious prisoner - the quote is said by one of the prison guards after his attempt to escape fails.

  • Actullay it was the warden speaking

  • Was he in fact a warden? His rank was Captain but was there anyone above him? (Boss Godfrey, for instance.)

  • makes me cry

  • My favourite GnR song. Love it.

  • im am confused how can any war b civil its a war for fucks sakes people died to fight for land and wot did they gt owt ov it nothin coz many died and it was all in ruins anyway i find it rediculous calling it a civil war lyk thy say at the end what is so sivil bout war anyways!!!!! im onli 15 but i understand it alot better than most ppl owt there

    but hands up to g n r for makin a gr8 song to remind us all war can never b civil

  • a civil war is a war that is between two or more factors from the same contry..... it was the american civil war becasue ti was between the north(fighting for slaves freedom) and the south(fighting to keep there slaves).. i think you need to go back to school boy... o adn if your american you need to be smarter and not be a dumbass. im canadian and if i know more on a war then the american.. then thats jsut saddening...

  • wots just sadnenin is tha fact tht im a girl to start with nd im still at skwl oh yh nd who tha fuck are u callin american im fuckin britsh m8 so gt ur facts rite

    but i can have my veiws on war and the point is tht even if u call it a 'Civil' war it will never b true its still a war between ppl nd thts all wot matters

    oh yh nd who u callin a dum arse?????

    i think im more smarter than u idiot

    i may hav my veiws bout war nd wots rite nd wots wrong but i dnt think i ll b a dumbarse 'i lol at u'

  • well your the one with spelling it makes it seem like he is smarter. Note im not saying he is i'm just saying your spelling makes it look like it.

  • its called chav talk mate. its words that chavs use in england it = dumbarse's lol...

  • oh nd who u callin a chav or a dumbarse mate!!! last i saw i dnt wlk round in the full trackys or shag every lad in the village

    i can act a bit chavvy at times but thats just part ov me (eg my usage of my words nd my named clothing tht i sumtyms were)

    the reason i spell this way is simple im a teen ffs tht lyks to keep things simple derrrrrr im 15.

  • just to let you know i do spell correctly i have just had eight weeks off SCHOOL (so still at school) and have been using text talk for all of it.(NOT CHAV TALK BECAUSE I AINT A CHAV!!!!!!!!!!!well saying that i can be when i want to be) but i bet im way more smarter than him any day.

  • You, my friend, are the kind of person who lowers the mean IQ of humanity by several points...

    "I think I'm more smarter than you"

    FAIL worthy of failblog, haha

  • theres 2 definitons of civil. but yeah i agree with you (even though i am an american myself, im not a dumbass though i know alot about it too)

  • Choco is definitely a chav...100%

    And regarding the civil war, actually slavery wasnt really the issue. The emancipation proclomation was issued by Abraham Lincoln During the war just after the battle of Arteniam - i believe (pardon the spelling). It was to keep Britian and France from supporting the southern states as there was a massive socialist movement through Europe at that time to abolish slavery. War is never black and white (pardon the pun)

  • @rollobluster, is Antientam. And you are right the Emacipation Proclamation had more to do with practical politics and military necesity than actual good will toward emacipating any Blacks yet. Sadly, the South had at the time of Secesion to beat the Union at at least Partial Emancipation to gain the support of European powers against the Union but never did it.

  • uhh g great song but bad video

  • love gun n' roses

  • I love this song. <3

  • what a mistake! i voted finger down on a great commend!! sorry!

  • a bit sad song :(

  • What is the quote at the begining of the song?

  • best song ever.....maybe....haha

  • great song...great video...rock on guns fans

  • g.n.r rocks!!!!!!

  • u.s.a. is the big shit of the world

    jaja

  • You know nothing living in Mexico.

    The United States is the greatest country in the world.

    I can say and do whatever I feel in the United States, God Bless America.

    We also have sympathy for people. We also try and help people.

  • People have fought and died for me to sit here.

    The United States is the greatest country in the world for that reason alone.

  • Amen.

  • you cant help but to listen to the song over and over agian this song is amazing!!! G N R ALL THE WAY!

  • my favourite song:)nice historical photos!!!

  • love this song reminds me of my dad :(

  • great song and nice video

  • una mierda

  • nice bit of editing

  • It´s marvelous to share this pictures with the world with this music

  • an amazing vid

    love it <3

  • We should listen to the lyrics and put them into action. We can easily put war to bed for good if we tried to cooperate with other human beings rather than slaughter them for disagreeing with us. And that's from a commited Christian!

  • well, i'm christian too but what do u gonna do with people who wish to kill you and those who you love, ruin your cities and destroy your civilization at all? It's so easy to say "let's go and cooperate with 'em" but the real life is a bit complexer than that. They hate us coz we succeeded in our lifes. I'm not gonna tell u strightly about what people I mean but I hope that u understand. That's all ain't about oil but about our freedom and future for our children.

  • We're still commanded by Jesus to love our enemies and pray for them. That's why it's not easy. but it's acheivable. Jesus did it.

  • song is so true just awesome

  • the most underrated song on use your illusion.

    so good and true, especially now.

  • I say the same thing as JRob95 word for word

  • Some men you just can't reach. That would be me

  • it is great like it!

  • I love this song.. it's just... fantastic? I dont know.. I can't find words...

  • thats what i call music.

    great lyrics, great guitar, great band.

    PEACE!!!!!

  • "Peace Can Last Forever", if only all of understood that we ALL HOLD THE POWER TO ACHIEVE IT, but unless we all work together, its a battle that will never be won!

  • It never will be won, which is terrible, but us as people jst can't get along. Some people persecute me because im a Christian, and they always will. There will never be peace among all of man, but we can try our best not to wipe each other out.

  • Amen to that, from an Agnostic.

  • This is a touching song, my cousin is in the army, im australian, and i dont beleive that war helps anyone, but sometimes it just cant be prevented which sucks.

  • nice this vid man, congrats!

  • un complimenti dalla somma Italia a questo gruppo

  • The song just isnt about hte Civil war its all about all wars because its humans against humans just for stupid things, basicly, the world is fucked up.

  • I don't know about "the world is fucked up," but I definetely agree that this song has nothing to do with the American Civil War (1861-1865). It is a major source of fascination for me that nearly every youtube video of this song is filled with images from that war. It makes me want to fight a war... or at least hit somebody.

  • bestest song guns n roses eva sung :)

  • "Would you wear a black arm band when they shot the man who said peace could last forever and in my first memorys they shot kenedy"  who else thinks this bit is a fucking awsome line

  • Man the best line in the song for the fuck of gud XD

  • i think its pretty kick ass....

  • To right one of my favorite lines from any song!

  • Me that line is so true.

  • i love this song dont know y but the beggining is my fav.......well he gets it

  • this is my favorite song by GNR'S y do we need war anyway way hmm

  • this is a great song and the vid really shows how f**ked up the world is..fighting each other and all

  • great video really brings out the message about how f***** up things are

  • Great video. I was actually considering making a video like this but it looks like you beat me to the punch. =)

  • great song brilliant band, but at the end of the day its a song a great song but the sh-t still goes on, so might as well chill and listen to a great band rather than argue about the worlds problems.

  • couldn't put it any better myself

  • I love this song as well as the rest of GnR's songs...I have enormous respect for this band.

    Great Idea to put the pictures here.

    IT really brings out the entire tradgedy, It was awful and still is.

  • opening quote is from the film cool hand luke

  • America, you're rotten

  • perkalmetal you figure it was over 100 years ago

  • Why do you say that?

  • I love this song so much

  • listen to sweet child of mine then see how u like the guitar on that

  • what's so civil about war anyway?

    great line

  • Great pictures but for me the music don't get it.

  • I love the guitar playing in this song!

  • one of the best Guns N'Roses songs ever :D

  • War is stupid

  • Yes, but inevitable

  • Brilliantly compiled video. Very focussed. Rarest of pictures all confined in few minutes of great song.Just downloaded as its something to keep

    "Whats so civil about war anyway?"

    Great lyrical power

  • A civil war is coming to united states in a few decades more; it is going to be between the native north americans and the indians inmigrants that are arriving to the USA; you just don't know how the latin americans are 90% of them are garbage and you won't be able to kick them because it is against your own laws

  • that didnt even make sense

  • It has sense, the first civil war was about the black people which is actually good people and the 2nd one is going to be about the Garbage People the USA is recieving from Latin America, when the Latin Americans get more power in the USA you will remember this message, man they are garbage they are people with no values with no moral they are going to the USA only looking for money you dont know them

  • sounds like ignorant talk to me

  • First of all the first civil war wasn't about black people...it was about states rights...and second of all the latin american people youre talking about only come here for a better way of life...but they should do it legally and if not they should be kicked the fuck out...and i say you dont make sense because you have talked about north americans, indians, immigrants, and latin americans throughout these comments...and study your history

  • man latin americans inmigrants to the USA are indians!! don't you see their faces?? here we call them "CHOLOS" that is in first place in second place you still don't know the kind of people they are, that "better way of life" you say is only money and that is it they actually hate the USA, for your knowledge in Latin America 90% of the people is indian or "cholos" and the 10% left is not cholos or indians and e this 10% hate them and we consider them the problem of our countries,we know them!!

  • Cholos is a slang for a gangster that some hispanic people use... most "whiteys" don't use it

  • 90% of Latin Americans are cholos, a cholo is a mix between the south american indian and the creole, the creole is the mix of the spanish of low level and the indian; all Latin Americans are not cholos, the 10% are not, USA is going to have problems with this people in the future when they start getting in the important parts of the North American Society, like in the Justice System or the Congress

  • what are you talking about man?

  • nope thats wrong, its a word used to describe hispanics that are mixed with south or central american indians.

  • caposqaudra i thinks it's gonna be against the democrats and republicans

  • hey sk8am47, dont let these guys billy you from your opinion, superpower??? bombing countries that barely have roads is the equivelent of a grown man picking on a 8 year old child, echelon269 is just probably some little angry computer nerd pissed off because he hasnt tossed himself off in a few hours ! !

  • at last someone normal! maybe because youre not american cadaharla. here you see visible diffenrence in mentality of europeans and americans. what are they so strongly proud of? dunno. but I dont want to say anything bad about great perfect innocent america because they will bury me under their hate comments. and they even dont know why. I dont want to waste time with them stupid fat dumbasses anymore. guess what stupid bullshit will they reply this time...

  • george bush should be arrested for war crimes and held at guantanamo bay, he is more guilty than most held there, and dont let them mc donalds munching geeks tell you otherwise. will they bomb china because of their human rights??? . . . not a fuckin chance, they are shitting it, they quick to go into iraq because of the "opressed people" (a country laden with oil and natural resources) yet darfur and zimbabwe are allowed to be destroyed by despots even worse than saddam hussein . . . .

  • i from usa and read many incredibly ignorant comments from both sides - enjoy the music

  • omg whats wrong with you people

  • Dont like the USA or its policies easy solution fuking leave idiots, oh and war does solve alot fuking idiots.
