[salmontrout100]

grande canzone

[san5a89]

ahahah cannibalizzata dagli Equipe 84!!!

E' vero i gruppi in quegli anni o suonavano le canzoni che gli scriveva Lucio Battisti oppure disintegravano le canzoni della musica internazionale... Perchè non sono vissuto negli anni 60..! Avrei potuto fare tanti soldoni senza lavorare!!!

[gburgasser]

FINANCIALLY, WE MUST "PICK OUR BATTLES"!!! CLEARLY, WE CONTINUE TO HELP OTHERS RATHER THAN OURSELVES...CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!!! CURRENTLY, WE ARE IN DEBT TO CHINA (ONLY ONES CAPABLE OF & WILLING TO BANKROLL OUR USA DEBT).THEY'LL BECOME THE NEXT #1 POWER,THEN WE'LL PAY MORE ATTENTION TO AUSTERE/ADJUSTMENT.>NOT DOUBT ABOUT IT, IT'LL HAPPEN SOON<THRIFTY DAYS,NO REPEAT OF "CRASH".POPULATION DECREASED THEN (FATHERS COULD NOT BEAR TO WATCH BABIES/CHILDREN STARVE TO DEATH!!! WE'RE IN FOR A BUMPY RIDE!

left out my 5yr-old son "have"....a squirt gun, Also, my dad served ALL the wars (except Korean; he'd volunteered for it, things were winding down).The Cold War was one of his toughest.Some of his TDY(temporary duties) included the brand new refueling in space.We were drilled on not talking to the Russians, could expect them on our door.To this day, my dad is finally sharing some of those stories.Holocast Horrors, nearly losing their lives 3X thanks /to pilots playing "tag" w/the tips/wings.

Job:matching body parts;my girlfriend in "Nam",PTSD took her life.My grad high school class:1965 Reunion I learned 50% alone for that year failed to "come home"! I struggled for a year & a half before letting my 5yr-old son "have" I firmly held the "mindset" he would be drafted...queer you say?Brain-washing us to accept the inevitable.My 92yr old father volunteered to fly rather be on the ground.Go figure that out in your mind.WAR has been a part of life since life began,before humans,etc.

[TheCurlyburger]

Yep, another numpty brained wasack, who posts his/her video as having

the LYRICS displayed,,, but it shows NONE!!! WHY???

********* your bum is now clean stewie (lois griffin speaking).

Never the less one of my favourite songs ,out my list of top #10. (Magic)!!!

[gio11951]

@TheCurlyburger c'avessi capito un cazzo... ma proprio non me ne può fregar di meno...

[LUXXXable]

@gio11951 vecchio pazzo mondo???

[rob31778]

@LUXXXable si ...celentano poi l'ha rifatta in italiano cambiando anche il testo credo

[herrzyklon]

@TheCurlyburger there ARE lyrics mate...

[san5a89]

@TheCurlyburger activate the subtitles my friend...it is an italian translation...

[MrKeithvm]

@TheCurlyburger click on cc

[MrElistones]

RAGAZZI, è IDENTICA COME RITMO A "L'ORA DEL FUCILE"!!!!!!!!

[gio11951]

@MrElistones mi sa che è il contrario... ci sono due "versioni" italiane di questa canzone:

questo vecchio pazzo mondo (interpretata per primo da gino santercole e poi da celentano e ligabue

e l'ora del fucile interpretata da pino masi...

[MrElistones]

@gio11951 si , può darsi, parlavo senza essere informato, ho soltanto notato questa cosa appena l'ho sentita..,

Grazie per la risposta!! :-)

[MrElistones]

@gio11951 si ,hai ragione, parlavo senza essere informato, ho soltanto notato questa cosa appena l'ho sentita..,

Grazie per la risposta!! :-)

[mrsbelcher1987]

More true now than ever.

[englishchrissy]

Time to stand up my friends, we are at the Eve!

[cokefueledrage]

sucks

images don't match words or tone

like some random slideshow of shit blowing up

[gio11951]

@cokefueledrage De gustibus non disputandum est

[nitramsnimmuc]

@cokefueledrage If you can not match the words with the images, that is due to a lack of understanding and empathy on your part, and so we come full circle. It is a pity, that your coke fueled rage, has left you unable to understand or feel for the plight of others. That is after all what the music and images are intended to do.

[CallousD]

@nitramsnimmuc If you can not get past your overwhelming sense of self importance to read and comprehend the words on the page then we are coming full circle. I was going to reply in full but the short version is: Fuck you, you stuck asshole, your opinion is just that, yours. It isn't fact or truth. My opinion is the video sucked ass and that opinion was not formed based on a lack of ability to match words with images or a lack of empathy.

so in case you missed it: FUCK OFF

[nitramsnimmuc]

@CallousD I replied to cokefuledrage, who said.

"sucks

images don't match words or tone

like some random slideshow of shit blowing up"

Then you, callousD come back spouting a load of cobblers. If cokefuledrage is your

alter ego then you are well matched with each other, and fit quite well into the profile I posted. So in case YOU missed it. It is past time, for whichever of you narcissistic gobshites who is at the controls today, to go and powder his nose.

[CallousD]

@nitramsnimmuc go fuck yourself or is your grasp of the english language not up to par enough to understand that ? Narcissistic ? Where do you even get that ? Do even know what the word means or do you just repeat shit people have said about you ? The video sucks and you are an asshole, case closed. ya fukkin jerkoff

[nitramsnimmuc]

@CallousD

Ah! there it is again. A post consisting of a tirade of poorly constructed.

Abusive, moronic ramblings. Always the hallmark of those with a limited ability to put forward a reasoned and cogent argument, and you have the nerve to question my understanding and use of the the English language.

I think perhaps you have powdered your nose to much, and it has resulted in diminishing your ability's. Or were you always like that?

[CallousD]

@nitramsnimmuc So you are unable to distinguish between the drug cocaine and the soft drink coke ....interesting. As is your supposed moral superiority while taking every cheap shot you can. I do have the nerve to insult you and try to make you angry because I don't like you. So I made a baseline criticism of your language skills and BINGO hit the target !!! The video still sucks and you can still fuck off and die, slowly.

[terzapersonasingolar]

this song is, today, more actual than all other: we're maybe on the razor's edge, and an imminent war between usa-israel-europe and iran-china-russia is not so improbable, a ruthless war, that will save no one, and will lead the world to the collapse and humanity with it

[gio11951]

@terzapersonasingolar Caspita, tu sei italiano, io sono italiano... che senso ha parlarci in inglese? ..... vabbè... sono d'accordo con te... anche se la speranza fa sempre capolino... l'ultima frase cita: "no, no, no... tu non credi che siamo all'inizio della fine" ... è proprio per questo che ho messo per ultimo quadro.... un tramonto (di disperazione)?..... un'alba (di speranza)? .... chissà.?.... di certo non si può virvere senza speranza.... ciao amico...

[terzapersonasingolar]

@gio11951 sicuramente la speranza è ciò che tiene uniti ,che incoraggia ad andare a vanti anche quando viviamo in un mondo troppo frustrante, come dice la canzone stessa.. tuttavia bisogna che oggi, più che mai la gente si svegli, inizi a capire che sono i tanti a fare la differenza, che assieme si può cambiare la storia, e che non lasceremo mai che ipocriti capitalisti o megalomani fanatici possano rovinare l'esistenza dell'umanità, stammi bene.

[maxadamo0]

@gio11951 allora, già che siamo tutti italiani, è stata citata "equipe 84" e ne approfitto per citare pure Pino Masi, che ha interpretato anche lui questa canzone, cambiando il titolo in "L'ora del fucile" e mettendo il testo in linea con la contestazione che c'era in Italia durante quegli anni!

[PerculaPlushPet]

Don't blame a soldier, just talk to a real one.

[gio11951]

@PerculaPlushPet My dear friend,

you're talking with someone who has been in the army, and I can assure you that the soldiers do not like war (are those who die), that song, does not demonize the soldiers, saying only that those soldiers (1960), were not old enough to vote, but were fit to fight.

Think about what is happening today with child soldiers in africa.

Giò

[PerculaPlushPet]

@gio11951 Nod. Thank you.

[italiano7137]

i love this song ,its just what is happening today ,love the music and harmonica

[italiano7137]

love this

[nucleuscontour]

The lyrics are more true today than then...Barry in Pa.

[roboluzzo]

Thank's man for this great and beatifull work and thanks for sharing

[gio11951]

@roboluzzo thanks for the compliments

[gio11951]

my dear friend far away, my wedding march was the Ave Maria by Bach-Gounot ... but also my marriage has failed ... through no fault of mine ...

[Tigermoon1950]

We had this song played at our wedding. Must have been a portending of what was to come: we destructed and got divorced only 7 months later. The b*tch blames our marriage failure on this song. I think her cheating on me and serious meth habit had more to do with it. :*(

[gio11951]

@Tigermoon1950 I think it is not a song for a wedding and I do not think that the failure of a marriage can be the fault of a song ... you have to have luck in life to find the right woman... is not easy... i know also this..

[Tigermoon1950]

@gio11951 Well I don' know about the right woman. She seemed right. Then she got right into her old ways...runnin around, carousing, doing meth.."entertaining" while I was hard at work...The more I listen to this the more I am convinced that using it as the wedding march wasn't the best idea. It sort of set the tone, doncha think? I mean, I wanted to use Ballad of the Green Beret by Barry Sadler, but she said it was too violent and would be a downer. Big mistake. I shoulda got more drunk :*(

[Deeeanne]

I hear Breakfast at Tiffany's

[porkpieaml]

If marijuana could be an instrument...It would be a harmonica.

[ANAMASTE61]

It's a really good message!

[gio11951]

@fringuellofelice thanks

[fringuellofelice]

Why at 1.55 there is an Italian Parliament Picture??

[gio11951]

@fringuellofelice congratulations on the observation ... you have been very careful ...

I can say that I found only that picture, but is not the truth...

in the Italian parliament sit offenders, suspects, thieves, corrupt, abusive and the prime minister is on trial for having bought the judges...

Giò

p.s. i am italian

[MTPorcupine3]

@gio11951 Oh. Like any other parliament, congress, city council, etc.

[dorotheaeli1]

Great video!

[gio11951]

@dorotheaeli1 Dank je! Dorothee

[terzapersonasingolar]

gio11951 devo ammettere che le immagini e il testo allegato danno una visione di questo video magnifica.. GRANDE!!

[gio11951]

@terzapersonasingolar le immagini le ho cercate in base a ad una interpretazione personale di questa canzone che ha acconpagnato la mia gioventù e il mio sforzo è stato di renderla attuale con i problemi dell'inquinamento della terra e delle anime...

sarebbe stato semplice usare le immagini delle torri gemelle... sarebbero state sicuramente di grosso impatto...

ma a che pro? ad alimentare l'odio? sono le coscienze che si debbono svegliare... non l'odio...

[stephensilver]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[gio11951]

@stephensilver grazie... dall'alto della mia (ormai) quasi veneranda età... sono arrossito...

[TheJenjen78]

Yep. like this song

[raffysexyboy]

grande traduzione!

canzone immortale...

[ILTERZOSOLE]

Bravo bel video e utili i sottotitoli :)

[nigeSW]

america made the biggest cake of where we are now...some good, mostly bad

[gio11951]

@nigeSW You know, my country was bombed by the Allies in 1944 for no reason.

There were 180 civilians killed and the village destroyed

yet we are grateful to the Anglo-Americans liberated us from the fascists and Germans.

the problem of America (?), or more likely of the world... is hungry for money ... has only one ...the Italians and we are ashamed to have to be ruled by a person who thinks only of herself and how to make more money ... our country is becoming sad

[nigeSW]

@gio11951 your country was bombed most probably for a reason at the time. It's just that the reason was flawed. The same as America and the UK bombed iraq.

I as a person understand these mistakes. So why do leaders like BUSH, BLAIR, OBAMA not understand the same as me.? Because they are POWER crazy.....and have only the blood of their own sadistic and immoral ambitions flowing thru their viens, and the blood of others on their hands.

[mako41144]

Most definitely!

[mako41144]

It's amazing and sad that this song is still as relevant today as it was fourty years ago. Way to make progress America.

[gio11951]

@mako41144 not just America ... all in the world should reflect...

[mako41144]

@gio11951 I agree.

[9fabiolino]

trovo molto bella anche la cover cantata da ligabue e celentano!

/watch?v=ScxDGbSBQjU

[WMayXD]

Ti entra proprio dentro...

[gio11951]

@WMayXD fa piacere che un ragazzo così giovane apprezzi anche la musica di tempi che non ha potuto conoscere...

Giò

[SilviaFarneti]

...bellissima !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eyesWideopen610]

its sad were no better off then when this song was written :(

[ingiustificabile1]

grazie per questo video stupendo e per la traduzione!! grazie

[gio11951]

@ingiustificabile1 grazie per lo "stupendo" in effetti ho cercato di tradurre in immagini questo brano.... poi mi sono accorto che era necessaria anche mettere il testo e la traduzione per facilitarne la comprensione... il tuo commento mi fa capire che lo sforzo non è stato vano...

[ingiustificabile1]

@gio11951 stupendo è il minimo, hai fatto veramente un ottimo lavoro! Spero che possa vedere altri tuoi splenditi video. Saluti

[Bugelino]

So touching song! Hello from Helsinki.

[gio11951]

@Bugelino You're right.... Hello to the beautiful Finland

[Likeo89]

This is true rock.

[steve2461para]

great song and great vid well done

[WonderfulSilence]

E per fortuna questa canzone ha resistito abbastanza a lungo da poter ancor essere ricordata...

[youtenochtitlan]

Terribilmente splendida!!!!!!!!!!!

[pumfalken]

var fortfarande tonåring när Barry McGuire sjöng Eve of Destruction. jag vapenvägrade och står för det fortfarande. Det år inte att lösa konflikter med hämnd och vedergällning, men det går med försoning.

[marconciomarconcio]

Per onor della cronaca l'ha fatta anche Pino Masi in Italiano

e dice tipo: "Cosa vuoi di più compagno per capire che è arrivata l'ora del fucile"

[giuseppemontanari]

HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE

[capratube]

Yeah, sounds trite, but I really do remember this song as if it were yesterday in high school in a comfortable Columbus Ohio suburb. It was so powerful that it actually got some of us in the Class of 1965 to thinking for themselves for the first time and discussing war and civil rights.

This was at a time when only "commie pinkos" had the guts even to question US involvement in Vietnam. Protest? No, not then; it took another 3-4 years for that!

Thank you, Barry. Thank you, gio 11951

[401Thor]

Und wieder n Oldie der immer noch aktuell ist.

Wir stehen immer noch am Abgrund die Frage ist nur wann wir den nächsten Schritt machen

[andycapace]

Volevo complimentarmi per le immagini scelte....volevo anche dirti che in Italia questa canzone non è diventata " Ed ho in mente te" degli Equipe 84 ma è " Questo vecchio pazzo mondo" di Gino Santercole.... ^^

[gio11951]

Grazie x i complimenti; è ovvio che Io ho in mente te è la cover di You Were On My Mind; per quanto riguarda questo vecchio pazzo mondo di gino santercole(cover), stendiamo un pietoso velo... proprio non c'azzecca nulla... con lo spirito di eve of destruction... (bisognerebbe leggersi il testo originale). Tieni presente che allora c'era la censura in Italia... (vedi: Dio è morto - I NOMADI ) e non è detto non ci sia ancora...

[epetrelli]

esiste anche una versione antagonista: "l'ora del fucile", nella racconta "canti di lotta continua", altri tempi, ma niente male. sicuramente meglio di santercole ;-)

[79pistolero]

grande cover adulterata di pino masi...

[controvers]

Danke, daß Du es gefunden und aktualisiert hast ... :-)

[JanV24031964]

This is the best anti-war song ever, and you have done an excellent job with the images. This is the best vid i've seen for this song.

[manoddy]

WOW !!!!!!! Over and over again !What a song ! And verry good job on the docu ! JUST put it back on the charts !!!!!!!

[B4RT46]

I love this song! Bel video gio...

[nostalgiclady86]

Great work of compliation of visuals for a great song.

[terradisiena]

Una grande canzone, grazie per il video!

[Shinkei89]

Bella canzone...

[musicclouds]

Sad true song, terrible photos... "you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction?" Thank you for this video.

[maryjulie2]

LOVE this song!!!! Thanks for that video!!!

[gio11951]

@maryjulie2 What has changed since 1965? the final scene is a... sunset or... sunrise?
