Laibach - Anglia

[pitakpetr]

GOD SAVE EUROPA ! turkey barbarian attack !

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[SvrchovaneCechy]

The true nature of criminal Anglia.

[Mattyd242]

Slovenians trying to do an English accent = LOLZ.

[kisteva1]

@Mattyd242 brutal

[Strongone112]

@Mattyd242 Actually the ones who were singing in english accent WERE brits... If they would of been slovenes, the accent would be more slavic.

[fiatalvalosag]

I just realised that there's the voice of a goat at 0:26

[sq2mmy]

So you still believe you're ruling the World ?



[M14Ok]

I did have the privilege to be on their concert. They are amazing.

[davesnothere26]

Beautiful fucking tits man!

[davesnothere26]

Now this is some good shit, glad I watched this before life is life.

[whatthemeh]

@davesnothere26 thats actually the track that got me into them... and of course this one is great too :D

[ReptoidHumidian]

Scatter the enemy! COOK BACON AND EGGS!!! LONG LIVE MOLVANIA!!

[Israelpwn]

@christthi

I'd be careful. Laibach can relaly punch you right in the face, but I wouldn't call them prophets. This kind of mentality has caused problems in the past.

[musicafrescatv]

q ternura de abuelita UMMMMMMMMMMM...

[ladakladak]

Üchylaci...

[thedigitalrebel]

nice queeny shit :)



[HeatIIEXTEND]

omfg i dont think i have loled irl this much from the nets for a loong tiem

this is win

[xrach2006x]

awesome 

[denialvortex]

awesome awesome awesome. awesome. awesome.

[zvoncek5]

Laibach are the most famous prophets of modern times. Right before nato bombing of yugoslavia, they played in belgrade and told everybody what is about to happen. Before an economic crisis in the US they had a tour in the US with a symbolic name DSA, and then they came up with volk, to warn us. In my opinion laibach doesn't take sides, they simply say the truth, cruel and cold reality of our world.

[Ralex004]

@TranshumanCyborg actually we dont intend on it O_o at least i dont.i dont c y people have the idea we thnk were superiour,but i ike this band.

[Narcissiaxx]

screw the add at the beginning...

[oldmanjez]

I'd forgotten how mad this lot were - real PMSL music!

Sympathy & Across the Universe utter genius.

For anyone who is interested Slovenia is full of wonderfully friendly people & the drive from Hungarian border past Maribor to Ljubljana is one of the my favourite car journeys in Europe - unmissable scenery - can't wait to go back..again!

[NickRiviera10]

@JohnMeetsFKennedy why you say so?

[OBAMAismyHERO666]

I watched this video because there are breasts!

[Apoliteia]

@OBAMAismyHERO666 You know, they are the slovenian FRANCKY VINCENT....and Milan Fras was called the VERGEUR OF MOUNT TRIGLAV by Carribean fans from Guadeloupe....

[queentantrumofficial]

Love Laibach!

[NickRiviera10]

HAHAHA! I love how Laibach creates polemic! I mean or you LOVE them or you HATE them, pirriot.

[Human52093]

Laibach started in 1980. 30 years is a long time to keep a band going!

[virtuoushumour]

I think it's a fair enough comment - but other countries had/have empires, Russia included. Countries with any kind of empire usually breed 'superior' people. "Scatter your enemies, confound your politics..." could be out of The Art of War. "Rebellious scots...crushed" from the original Rule Brittainia, a musical written by Scots (funny world).

[NickRiviera10]

@virtuoushumour ALL COUNTRIES HAVE HAD FACISM or at least Empires. Mexico itself was an Empire with Maximilian and had a dictatorship with Porfirio Díaz that endured 30 years. Maximilian was killed.

[ceruleanbutterflyliz]

@virtuoushumour

Actually a line confound your politics is the second verse in "God Save the Queen"

[Liam1993R]

I don't really understand the video or lyics, all I know is abouts England the Queen XD

But it's a good and eerie song still.

[paraplegicleopardman]

@Liam1993R The Volk album is basically consisting of several altered versions of national anthems with Laibach's own social commentary and satire towards a specific nation. For England, it's about their empire and colonization. For France, it's about the Mass executions during the Revolution. For America, it's about whether or not we have upheld our own system of government. (The Constitution and such) For Israel (Which is my fav) They have one for several other major powers. That make sense?

[xuntermensch]

Sometimes I think the lyrics to this song apply better to Israel.

[paraplegicleopardman]

@xuntermensch That's my favorite song, followed by France, but I don't know. England still has the tendency to poke their nose into other peoples buisness as if they're still all powerful when in truth......France, and Germany both are far stronger now economically. Go Franks! Go Germans. XP

[mugofdoom]

@paraplegicleopardman France isn't a country.

[DrWinstonRelthford]

Fuck Laibach! Talking shit about English breakfast like that.

[HeroinBleeds]

great song

[cm2dude]

Beautiful and Glorious.

[kurisutokaochan]

One of Laibach's best. I may be Anglophilic, but I agree with so much here!

[subliminalthreat]

this video is awesome for one reason alone....it's got bacon in it. and eggs...and a ton of mutilation.

[garysleeth]

@subliminalthreat That's 3 reasons.

[megaswenson]

I LOVE IT! Precisely what England's elites are doing to the English People.

[cambiadecanal]

Sick video

[AREY1000]

ВСЕТАКИ, ИМ ЛУЧШЕ ПЕТЬ НА НЕМЕЦКОМ !

[afaultytoaster]

this song is fantastic and the video compliments it greatly

[steadfastcoward]

Rammstein with more toys.

[steadfastcoward]

Gee, I've accrued one more negative while merely reading the full list of comments and on top of that, the comment that brought me here is gone. Thanks. I'.m touched.

PS You Tube has been around about thrre years and it's not like EVERYBODY knows all this stuff well...in 1980 I was 14 and just introduced to computers. It would be more than 15 years berfore I saw the internet and that spanned the ages of 13 to 28! At 43 the xomment about us being 'kidz' wasn't a shared one.

PS whatever SHEESH

[ROONTANG]

YouTube is almost five years old, not three. :-)

[steadfastcoward]

It's quite aged in dog years, I gather.

So much for the afterglow. And the kids who rag your comments. WTF cares, it's crap then we all croak.

Thanks for the correction there, Roontang, it was good of you.

[underserf]

Absolutely, it's all crap. Best thing to do is find something you enjoy (even better someone to enjoy it WITH ;) doing and let it kill ya >:^/

I actually thing Laibach improved over the years, but that's just me - Gwar they ain't *heh*

=US=

[stalkingvengeance]

Laibach was around way before Rammstein.

In fact, Laibach was one of Rammsteins main influences.

So switch that around.

[Apoliteia]

@stalkingvengeance Laibach is a situationist conceptual group....rammstein might have vaguely taken a musical flavor from laibach, but in any way they are not a conceptual group, playing with the pop and political culture. The closest group to Laibach might be the Residents...what do you think...?

[evilmick66]

By god! Force feading people british cuisine? How can any human being on earth be so cruel?!

lol ;)

[Jtherva]

Nothing like a nice roast and yorkshire pudding.

[Nephillia]

God save the Queen she ain't no human being ;-)

[lowershawfart]

Funny how a little damp island, clinging to the edge of the europian continent rose to such prominence

Who talks of the French, Dutch, Greman, Spanish and Portugese empires .......

At least those people in the vid got a good breakfast

[JonahDavids]

This video always makes me hungry.

[SaraCufer]

Weirdo :D

[Hellishcrusade]

It is because we are basically a warrior nation of Vikings, Germans, and Celts.

[ROONTANG]

The British Empire is the most talked about because it is the largest empire in all of history. All the nations you listed had impressive empires, but nothing has topped Britain's. I think the Mongol's came close to holding the same amount of land, but not quite.

[raizon36]

@ROONTANG nobody's topped merry old england's body count, either

truly a mark of pride

[ROONTANG]

There is no way to be certain of that. The Romans invaded almost all of Europe, they controlled the whole mediterranian coastline, parts of the middle east and even parts of North Africa. On top of all that warfare, they had deathmatches in collosseums and such. I wouldn't be surprised if they had the highest body count.

[dave3152]

well i agree with the media view of your point, we have american shit on our tv's quite alot and our politics are hand in hand with yours but thats about it, and we dont really connect with europe

[etosrek]

amasing voices...

[mihhail75]

This is very spesial group. Great music !

Потрясающие обработки гимнов!!!!

[TheCrazynissOfAll]

3 cities that NEVER pay taxes: ROME, LoNDON,DC...figure it out-agenda runs throughout the world

[643218]

you saw that film too, am i right ?:D

[maxdamagus]

what.

[supermeperson]

If I live in the US, it doesn't mean I support it.

[Jtherva]

That means you dont support your own right to exist?

[supermeperson]

Good point.

It's kind of the same no matter were people live, they end up killing themselves any way.

[dave3152]

i dont get why they have a grudge against britain? its america thinking they rule the world and own everyone these days

[Tansshy]

it's not about holding a grudge, it's about presenting the myth of a country/nation. and they made a version of the american anthem as well.

[sipefree]

Protip: there is a cover of the american anthem as well.

[maxdamagus]

Britain rose to power as a necessity after resisting oppression from the French and Spanish. To say the Scots were merely conquered is offensive to Scotland, who were partners and leaders (in parliament, in war and in blood ties with the royal family) with England in a mutually beneficial Union. Don't confuse Scotland with Ireland or Wales who *were* conquered.

[lowershawfart]

Yes .. Right the scots, irish and welsh were never in any of those countries Mmm.....

[Christ724]

UK = US in Europe...They're almost the same nowadays

[lowershawfart]

Bollock!!!

[maxdamagus]

Scottish were not crushed, the Scottish invasion of England *was* however crushed.

Scotland and England then formed the basis of the United Kingdom, of which there have been many of Scottish monarchs and whose nation makes up a large influential percentage of parliament (despite Scots having their own parliament now). England may be the founder, but Scotlands part in Britain is interwined - and was essential for the glorious history of the empire that was never conquered. The British Empire.

[DarkSkies132]

this band sounds awesome

[MrRunkaball]

Jesus CHRIST! So this is what it has come to? Time has been less than merciless. Throw in the towel now!

[mariela000]

i dont know why ppl always argue through the comments

song is great it has a good point i agree with the text and love the video

laibach is awesome live

[NomadGuy666]

YEAH COOKIN EGGS WEWTS REAL BAD ASS

[vSlashed]

Who cares about the monarchy in England?

imo, England is no less corrupted than America or any other capitalism-driven country.

i like the vid. though)

[Hammerheart88]

Yep. UK is as bad as US nowadays.

[Jambi1979]

My favorite song from album Volk! It"s great!!!

[Innomen]

What's the point of this video? England no long has a monarchy.

If it's about imperialism generally why the profuse references to a queen?

Great video though, if a little bit thick on the torture porn.

It's so funny to me how much "cool" stems directly from over reaction to insecurity. Which is what all torture (even fantasy) is, either from the insecurity of the state of the insecurity of the individual.

Ironically it also applies to the tortured. Though for them it's physical insecurity.

[055697]

What the hell are you talking about? Britain, ipso facto England, has a monarchy, unfortunately imao. She's the fucking head of state. If you're gonna post comments then at least get facts right.

[Innomen]

She is not the "head of state" in any practical sense of the phrase, that's the Prime Minister.

You confuse Ceremonial with Actual.

The one that has the missile codes is the one in charge.

She has about as much power as Oprah. (Which is however a fair amount.)

But as to murdering and torturing people with impunity as depicted in the video, no she does not have that kind of power. A real monarch does.

Example: King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia

Theoretically no one does.

[goatshredder]

You said 'England no long has a monarchy'.

That is bullshit, no matter what wordgames you wish to play.

[Innomen]

So because I can find a pillory replica in colonial Williamsburg American still has the pillory?

No.

Do I need to add the words "real" or "actual" in front of everything?

No.

Real or actual is implied.

I'm not the one playing word games.

If I had said no longer has a monarchy of ANY KIND or no longer has a CEREMONIAL monarchy, then sure.

How could I not be aware that there are still a royal family? Its freaking everywhere. Princess Diana alone is/was like more famous than Jesus.

[BlackFlame2]

lolol

Wowza that was funny

[martegod]

Awesome video for sure, Who's the director?

[sipefree]

Saso Podgorsek.

It says so in the first 3 seconds of the video.

[mormedil]

Thats a realy great video,..

Real Art.

[freuleinAna]

LAIBACH IS FROM SLOVENIA!!!!!!!!

[Amordk]

Laibach is not from slovenia, laibach is from Sarajevo :-)

[dusnoki]

Aj ne...!!! Slovenci su bre... bili su bas za 2. maj tu u Subotici :) Brutalish su

[RAKITNTK]

idiot from slovenia

[Jailbird024]

svaka cast!!!

[wsytnik]

i feel you on that one replica, but can you guys just change your anthem already!

[Replicasoul]

the hardest thing for me to understand , is that world see the England ( not the uk ) as a empire of old ! and still holds us for all our mistake of past times ! where country like germany have been forgiven for world war ( what correct , the past is the past ! i love the germans there fantastic people - before you all moan ) im English , and its annoying to see that our only friends in this world where bush surpporters !

[arterin]

laibach is from slovenia

[susansurgey]

I think this piece is fantastic!!! I am English too, and perhaps if we stopped making the same mistakes of times gone by, then bush supporters wouldn't be our only friends.

[SweetPicklesRob]

And that would be 20% of the American population still mouthbreathingly stupid enough to think Iraq was involved in 9-11.

From an American.

[Hammerheart88]

I think it's hilarious how England is represented here.. I'm English too but at least I have enough sense of irony to laugh at this.

[supheus]

Laibach is about irony , but many people don't see that.

[coreupper]

for me this is not about irony but reflecting the fact that so called uest-you-rope... is dying and that there comes the time for panslavism people with pure hearts, fresh minds and beautiful language...

Piotr

Well except the judeo-bolsheviks which do NOT belong here

[dagilpe]

Well, a Nazi... welcome!

[entertement]

ja zakon !

[armouredamazon]

Awesome! As usual :-)

[1971sij]

Nice !

[DrDelvisMemphisto]

The Middle Classes of England bleat the same chorus, political correctness and greed, the herd mentality with the emphasis on the mental- has a collective amnesia, it is in fact their emotionally stunted greedy little lives that have desecrated and robbed England of its vitality. The herd that knows their (house) price of everything but the (emotional) value of nothing, spreading sterility ,blandness and stupidity, they will reap as they have sown.

God Save their Queen!!!!!!

[tehdreamer]

)+1)

[kino2012]

Good movie..but dont have a dynamic.. need little more

[faddy24]

In fact way back in the 80's bands like 'The The' and 'The Waterboys' were drawing attention 2 the demise of 'Anglia'.

[faddy24]

The UK, or more specifically England, is up shit creek without a paddle. Economically n in most other senses. A soft liberal approach 2 immigration n law n order allied 2 comically absurd political corectness has blighted n eroded English identity n purpose. 'Anglia' is sonically satisfiying n though a tad macabre n negative is still spot on in identifiying the faded glory n sickness at the heart of old england

[steadfastcoward]

When since 1066 hasn't this been the case?

[MrMeanSmiley]

Just great!

[SOYU3]

Leibach is EVIL, >:D

RESPECT

Finaly some evil music for those who dislike rap

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

I think this is quite possiby Laibach's worst song. I mean, sonically, it's fine, it's very pretty.

Conceptually, well, they're being straight, this is just a bit of a rant, it lacks the power of, say, Smrt Za Smrt or even Geburt Einer Nation.

Personally, I love my state, my country and Her Majesty, but my problem isn't with the message, it's that it's laid bare and because of this, it's almost like something one of their imitators would write lyrically. :(

[trollfinger]

Geburt Einer Nation is a Queen song.

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

I am aware of this, but the treatment that Laibach gave to it rendered it as their own. Goodness, I hope you are trolling, if I have a basic knowledge of underground bands such as Laibach, then I should jolly well have a basic knowledge of more popular bands. Indeed, I like Queen.

Thanks for that comment dragmio. :D

[TheWondermonk]

Laibach is not underground at all, actually.  Just a bit reclusive since approx. 1998

[dragmio]

I agree completely, except that I'm not from UK and don't care for it or its sovereign.

BTW your comment is by far the most coherent and articulate I read in a long time.

[branimir667]

I am afraid, OnTheRazorsEdge, that your problem is with the message even though you are telling otherwise. Maybe you dont realize it. The bluntness of the message, works quite well.

Your "Majesty" is nothing really to worship or keep as a proud tradition I am afraid.

My Slovenian brothers be saying it laud and clear here. Their message may be brunt, but you have to get sometimes like that. It does not diminish the quality of their work.

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

Mabye I don't realise that my problem is with the message? Look, Laibach are one of my favourite bands and usually they are a lot more subtle than this. Mabye they are your favourite band and so you don't relaise it, but Laibach were never about bluntness.

That you think that I don't like a song merely because of the lyrics is quite silly.

Oh, I get it, it must be unconcious! It must be that I can't stand to hear opposing opinions! It can't be that it is below their usual standard

[richardbraintree]

be quiet

[TheClassicalLiberal]

I thought they were more subtle with all the other songs on Volk.

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

And for the love of God, please don't reply with "You're a snob who thinks that artists are best when they are raw and young, that "the old stuff was better mentality"".

This is, in fact, a reversing of maturity, they used to be a band of suggestion, here they aren't.

Your only argument is that I must be wrong, because I'm a Royalist.

[tiby2403]

I'm sure the brits aren't taking this video and song too kindly :)

[AlUzzah]

It is a bit sad given the ambiguous or celebratory nature of all the other songs in Volk, that this one is completely negative!

[trollfinger]

They are alll negative to a degree. Even the ones like Yisrael are a critical review of nations. Like singing "god save the queen" is like singing about israel "my country my land my ancestors"

[AlUzzah]

Oh yes, but there is nothing that could be considered positive in this song, that's my point. With 'Rossiya' 'America' 'Francia' etc there is something there.

[trollfinger]

Well of course, if countries like America and Russia stuck to what their basis was when they started out.Freedom of speech and respect for it's own country and others. And the idea still lives on in it's poeple. Whatever the fascade is on the world stage pretending to represent us.

[Balthic]

'America' seems to be a rather sarcastic song to me. The lyrics seem positive at first, but the more you listen to it, the darker it seems and the more it becomes apparent that it is in fact something of an attack against what America is today.

[AnonShawi]

Attack is a strong word, if you listen to the whole album, each anthem has it's part of criticism about the country.

[userblue]

Pfft. It's not -that- mean about us!

[tiby2403]

not THAT mean... but still mean :P

[kaiserwilhelm23]

great music fantastic message

[rockozaurus]

Mnogo serete bre...svi!

[rockozaurus]

Slusaj muziku...

[enirhpenipe]

Ovog Morona Niko ne razume A svi Votuju 1+

Nobody Understands This Moron But Everybody Is voting 1+

[GypsyfromCzech]

And can you tell me what he is singing?

Do you understand , because my english is bad...

[rockinfish14]

ya i could do so xD .. tell me if you still need that..

[GypsyfromCzech]

Is it english anthem? I quess I can find on net easily...

But you can send me link, where I can find it. Thanks!!!

[hurkalufugus]

the singer sounds like he has a cold ;__;

[budicinj]

Italia has about as much to do with ancient Rome as Mad Max has to do with Australia

[WhereBloodRunsBlack]

I haven't watched this video in a while. It still captivates me.

[CommodorePukebeard69]

gerid00d, I must note that Italy has everything to do with Rome. The historical culture of a people will always mirror the modern qualities of that people. I am Swedish and my family still to this day ovserves folk holidays of historical signifigance to that nation (though under a different names than the origionals) which date back over 1000 years. Culture may change, but people today are still rooted in the traditions of their ancestors.

[gogospaceman]

Oh! I've stayed at that B&B, damned fine breakfast!

[faceyfaceface]

imagery-wise I thought this video was stunning.

[Anarkya]

too many idiots on youtube....take your thumbs out of your asses, and just laugh.....you just dont get life, it consist of a big joke....

but you just dont get it

Laibach still kicking ass, ppl with brains...

[astonanglo]

its easy to have ago at us about british empire but the main reason is we were just bloody good at it and everyone else failed to compete , i for one love england, its been no worse than any other colonial power, blimy the romans were far worse than us and i dont hear the italians get this much hatred against them, everyone just says what a amazing race of people they were and marvel at there achivements, well rant over by the way i love liabach lol

[gerid00d]

italians have nothing to do with romans... xD exept that they live on the same peninsula

[lolanher0]

Nonetheless though it is a marvellous video

[Manxi108]

Like the Anti U.S. song (tirade in my opinion) this loses what the other songs have: ironic nationalism. It's just the blatant criticism and venom one would get from many "leftist" citizens of the U.S. And U.K. Which is too simple and less interesting. I do like the others though; especially Espana, France and the P.R.C.

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

I love Espana, because I am very Fascistic and I like to ignore the irony.

Viva Franco! ^_^

[Manxi108]

That's what I'm talking about! Irony so real you hope it's just that. If only Anglia and America did this. Shine on you crazy falangista.

[jarjar2b]

this is a great tune. I wonder what english folk think about it. laibach are geniuses.
