Heavy Metal in Baghdad

[Wanted19922009]

these are not musicians , they are war heros

[john666x1]

doesnt matter wath music. its proven it draws people together

[archibald0dickworth]

1:24 fuck yes! Slipknot!

[sciencepowerdavid]

after watching this I have more respect for iraqis now rock on!

[JNathanK2011]

The soldiers there are basically centurions.

[DarthMex1991]

Metal Unites <3

[xzyxTheonlyone]

metal can save the world lml

[5150VanAlien]

This film crew put their lives on the line for metal...now that's devotion!

[JustShtUp]

@OneProvidence actually religion has nuthin to do with this.........its just some people are superstitious and stupid thinkin that music is forbidden

[OneProvidence]

This is what the middle-east needs. More heavy metal, less religion. There are many heavy metal bands in the middle-east now, more than ever. Unfortunately, religious douche-bags always create difficulties.

Heavy metal is the future! Islam is the past. \m/

[sawu101]

@OneProvidence fuck you im muslim and i say fuck you dickhead!

[Sl0st]

I hope, all of those people in the video are still alive. Heavy Metall for peace! Greets from Germany!

[edwinm1]

fuck yeah breaking the borders by any means necessary rock on my friends rock on...oh and FUCK racism

[TullyOneRMT]

I love the part when he says Heavy Metal rulz 

[LiebeUndUnglueck]

@iTROLL4less calling them terrorists? fuck u man, u ignorant little bitch, just sittin at home and trollin around

[edwinm1]

@LiebeUndUnglueck dude dont feed the trolls just look at his name...just simply spam the fucker

[aMULSIVE]

metal is colorblind and a dirty mutt born of all races! \m/

[limpkit2011]

im going there, anyone has a spare bullet vest??

[SuperRockinMuffin10]

Goes to show how we even take long hair and head banging for granted. These guys can't even do that. Makes me proud to be part of the metal head community. We love metal and no one stops us from doing it \m/

[HDbacon]

feel a little sorry that there "not allowed" to listen to what they want...

[DragonLord7667]

Now thats what im fuckin talkin about, long live the metal!!!!!!!

[1xDRCx]

I saw this on sundance channel, and at the end, unfortunately they had to sell their instruments for rent money.

[rencrow]

@1xDRCx

They're in the US now with new instruments.

[motoredskull]

Oh well I do think they sound like shit but whatever dude if u like em go for it

[motoredskull]

it's courageous for those guys to play metal in such a shithole as Baghdad but it's also easy to see why this genre didn't originate there,they just don't have the space or open mindedness for something like this to suceed,the band sounds terrible by the way just in case you are wondering,but hey at least they play what they like

[LifeInBrunswick]

@motoredskull I disagree about them being terrible. I think Garden Of Stones is very good. When they're politically safe and have good gear they play good metal

[ricky4502]

@motoredskull I dunno if you looked into them since then but they're actually really good... they sound a lot better than they did back then and they all live in the US now, mostly NY and NJ. I've seen them live once and will be seeing them tomorrow too

[motoredskull]

@ricky4502 No I didn't look at them since but there wasn't anything about their sound that I liked,maybe if they change the singer,bassist and drummer it would sound ok,the only one worth a damn was the guitar player,but overall their sound was shit

[ricky4502]

@motoredskull I agree I thought they were shit too when I saw the documentary and I didn't even look into then until I heard them on sirius radio... either way u gotta have respect for a band in a country like that where being a metalhead can get u killed. Lucky since they moved to the US they've had the freedom to grow their hair long. Oh yeah and they're in NJ and VA... my mistake

[rockthetaxisquad1]

One of the last genres I would ever be found listening to would be metal or heavy metal, but I have nothing but the most respect and adoration for these guys and the guys that made this film. For the good of music, film, and what they love, they give everything. And that's fucking awesome, no matter who you are or what you're interested in.

[PeiinNagato]

But are these guys muslims?

[muslimahaishat]

@PeiinNagato thats what i wanna know too

[legionardo]

Metal is forever... and all the same is the colour of metal fans blood!!! Never thought the EVIL music will ever reach that closer to Baghdad! Keep the metal faith alive!!!

[musiconfigure]

I'm a grandparent and I bang my head to Corey's daddy's metal band, "Aghori."

Vote in DEC for "Aghori" often and daily on 2010 Project Independent USA metal band contest---and keep metal REAL.

PEACE!

[blackslayersabbath]

if i was a kid over there...JIHAD!!!!

[mikeeG77]

If I was a kid over there, I'd abandon everything and latch on to this anyway I could and just run with it. Live free or die.

[LoryenZeytin]

He said everything: HEAVY METAL FUCKING RULES!!!! \m/

[OneHindo]

I'm a metal fan so don't get me wrong when I say this>>

it is really bad in Iraq now but this band actually takes advantage of that to gain fame! they never talked about the good side..

well I guess they got what they wanted!!

[visiteur00000]

@OneHindo You sir are stupid.

[OneHindo]

@visiteur00000 and you are stupid for assuming that I'm a sir!

[Avatarlover85]

They speak really good English...

[Ullbritt]

This must be so extremely haram its not even funny bro

[ZarakiDenpachi]

I have nothing but RESPECT for these mothafukas!!! They are doing what they love regardless of what everyone else thinks in the middle of a war zone! I watched your movie fellas and I am a 30 year metal fan. Please keep pounding out the jams and don't let anyone tell you its all for nothing ftw raise them devil horns high and shove your middle finger in everyones face because you are doing what you love!

@muslimahaishat That's the interesting part.

[balloydspiritsoul]

Nice to hear that! And to be fair, they sounded good. Wish that more and more bands will evoled their!

[dothebedn]

Heavy Metal, the music that people would die for, because it is more then just music, it is a way of life.

Headbang for world peace.

[TheresAGhostInMyBeer]

@69ParadiseLost

Try saying that again in English please

[69ParadiseLost]

@TheresAGhostInMyBeer

i told this bitch that the iraqis isn't arabs .. but iraqi people update the arabic language .. so that the people says that i'm a arabs .. and we proud that asians and europeans.. and the amricans .. says that we are the cradle of human "Babylon" ..

that we are who kick those arabs ass ..

and about the iraqi war the arabs is the first who betray iraq .. and let the u.s army enter iraq .. so we are not arabs and i think that arabs whores is sux ass ... that's all .

[TheresAGhostInMyBeer]

@69ParadiseLost

You very right about that

Arabs certainly are not Iraq. Nor Iranian or Persian as they should be called

And yes, Babylon certainly was the cradle of civilization

Anyone who tries to dispute that is a fool

[69ParadiseLost]

@TheresAGhostInMyBeer

yea that's what i was talkin about ..

[Enysvar]

@TheresAGhostInMyBeer Greece was the cradle of civilization

Iraqi Syco Feak Show in the Middle of War. Celebrating Destruction Of thier Country, Stupid A****H****

[satoofi93]

Destruction of their country all thanks to you, saudi arabian..you brought the Americans on them.

Let them have fun, you have no idea how horrible it is in Baghdad.

[wzq007]

For your info, I am not Stupid Feaks of the century so called "Saudi Arabian", I just happen to stuck here with my bad luck.

The whole point was, instead of mourning on the situation of thier country, They are having fun. That Seems like death is dancing on the head and Before It takes you into its grip, you wana have fun. That's really SYCO.

[satoofi93]

Ah..I'm not sure that I'm familiar with "syco" .

Let them have fun a little bit, you have no idea how bad the situation is..if they don't have any fun, then they'll commit suicide.

[wzq007]

The words "Syco" means "MAJNOON" in arabic or you can say "KHAWAL". Or You can say in Arabic also like "TABAAN"

The word "Syco" can also be reffered to "MENTAL CASE", Mentally ill.

In Arabic it also means "MAREEDH NAFSI". for which translation is "Patient of Mental illness"

I hope you understand the meaning of "Syco", and By the way, I am not an Arab. But I hope and pray for thier current situation as a Muslim.

[satoofi93]

No bro, that would be a "Psycho"..

Thanks bro, we need that.

[wzq007]

Yep yer excatly right "Psycho", that was in short terms i wrote "Syco". It's American way of shortening words.

Bro, can i ask where exactly are you in Iraq?, I mean which city?

[satoofi93]

I used to live in Baghdad, now in the U.S.

Why are you stuck in hell (Saudi Arabia)?

[wzq007]

Couple of bad decision's and wrong U-turn lead me here. But I will get out a this place after some time. inshAllah.

[salehs313]

@satoofi93 am a yemeni and i understand long live iraq fuck saudia arabia

[sadiq2008]

@wzq007

do not be so stupid and naive, they are not celebrating the destruction of their country, don't it is because the kurdish and the middle east and the world want mesopotamia (iraq) to be destroyed, because how iraq is the land in the world with everything.

JUST FEEL HAPPY FOR THEM.

[Arazoid]

These guys are awesome! Making the most out of things despite tight and risky situations! Rock the hell on! \m/ \m/

[UFOIST]

The best news I've heard out of Iraq for years.....respect!

[iamthecore]

Also when they showed where they used to live in Karada...I'M LIKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT because I went there and it was the best place for shopping and to see it destroyed mannn that shit hurt!

[iamthecore]

I'm from Baghdad but came to America when I was 3 and went back there when I was 12 to visit...holy shit I can't even imagine anyone there playing heavy metal I think it's AMAZING...I grew up listening to that music and I have tattoos yea people look at me like i'm weird...I saw this documentary a few days ago and loved it but made me cry because of my family there and how some of them had to also move to Syria but damn they are so tough over there...GO IRAQ BABYYY <3

[kikaihichem]

Heavy Metal is alive and well in Algeria. They wish they could persecute us, we scare the shit out of them!

[TaskForceSixTwoSix]

I read an article on a blog or something about metal bands in the middle east. I heard they were being persecuted by islamic state authorities and terrorist types because they think metal music promotes unislamic behavior. But I heard they still keep it alive in the underground scene. That's what I hate about islam. Full of medieval mindset retards even in the modern day.

[ETV101]

THIS VIDEO PROOFS THAT METAL = LIFE

[dgrantie]

Keep the faith boys. metal is indefeatable and you're the proof!!!

[zeeab]

I gues you get to the point that you accept your death at any moment, so you just go for it until you die. And if you dont die you live on wondering why

you dont have to rhyme dip shit.
