  • Great song and Justin Sullivan gets the award for "Most Pissed Off Acoustic Guitar Player EVER". Yeah, my patriotism has long since gone down the toilet with our dysfunctional greedy gov. - probably why I was in the mood for this song!

  • I recommend using Media Outlet Online for doonnlooading f.r..ee s0ngs such as this... Yall can search it using Bing.

  • i love America there for i love this guys freedom of speech

  • I saw this video for the first time when I was around 13, I'm a big fan of the band and love the song and video.

  • Pathetic.

    It's good and interesting to fling shit at your own country...doing it to a country 5,000 miles away just makes you look ridiculous. Not that the lead needs any help with that. Nice hoop earrings there Mary...I can tell you take real good care of that luxurious hair as well. Is that Pantene No.5 in the air? Ahh, there's no punks like England punks I tell ya what....

  • @InfiniteArguments so you're not allowed to cricize other countries? that makes sense.... and way to prove your point by making fun of his jewelry and hair. it really convinced me!

  • @InfiniteArguments so you're not allowed to cricize other countries? that makes sense.... and way to prove your point by making fun of his jewelry and hair. it really convinced me!

  • Silly anarchist wannabe's.....

  • Who' s the WE in this 'little englanders' prattle...

  • im american and i think this is one of the greatest punk bands ever to exist

  • awesome song!!!!...

  • havent heard this song for agess!! its awesome!

  • This is a cracking song - why tear the throats out of each other just to prove how cool you are??? Just learn from it ;-)

  • Bons tempos de Broadway

  • '51º ESTADO DA AMÉRICA' Damn, it's Portuguese! Impressive ROFL

  • @PhUTube4Evah Hey man this last comment makes you an anal retentive fantasist and you publicly announce this fact; Brave or in need of help?

  • @PhUTube4Evah Collosal intellect , again, way to much for me .I'm off to catch youre mom at the donkey show.

  • @PhUTube4Evah High brow stuff ,way to clever for me.Do you need a diagram to use a toilet?

  • @PhUTube4Evah Hi ho my United states friend ,try entering Full Metal Jackoff and play the tune that comes up ,its by some of your compatriots{people from the same country as you}Apparently not all of you are vain,unimaginitive,self obsessed,self serving, greedy, purile, supine, disingenuous, oxygen thieving ,bottom feeding, scum,. . apparently.If any of these words give you trouble,use a dictionary{book with meanings for words} Youre so dumb you dont know how fucked you are or by whom

  • My girlfriends always bustin on me for liking these guys. Says they're racist and anti-American....but the shit speaks tru for me and I'm American.

  • Comment removed

  • A+++++

  • laura dern is american isn't she? what does she have to be so pissed about?

  • One of the best live bands I've ever seen.

  • how annoyingly blond they are in this video...

  • As I remember NMA is an anti-militaristic band, but they always sound very militaristic.

    The music is still very solid, even after (more than?) 20 years!

  • To the person who said American have an unnatural obsession with teeth and guns...

    ...well, yes. Far more worrying, though, is their propensity for using the word "faggot" as the primary social insult....while at the same time they are the people who start raping each other as soon as they enter prison (unlike the UK, or just about every other Euro country).

    Have you noticed how American porno flicks almost always revolve around repeated, aggressive anal penetration? Something dodgy there...

  • ♫♫♫♫♫top top band,in reverence ive put the rare new model army album trumps on ebay...enjoy.♫♫♫♫♫

  • FANTASTIC!!!

  • Right, I'm an English-serb-irishman, but i have many relations and friends and america, and for every joke and jibe i make at their expense, they have some English-serb-Irish jokes right back at me, stop being so offended, it wasn't aimed at you....... Also, it was barely aimed at the U.S.A, it's making a point, that if only we listened to then the Tommy wouldn't be in Iraq now, unfortunately, T.B and G.B pine for the U.S.A's affection.

  • @heroicmarinelaughat9

    Yes, there isn't a week that goes by where people at work here in the UK don't launch into another hilarious English-Serb-Irish joke.

    You know, "Quentin-Radovan-Padraig O'Connell walks into a pub...and then he was ethnically cleansed by a Bosnian milita for being an Anglo-Catholic Tory bastard..."

    Yeah, those famous English-Serb-Irishman jokes always crack me up during a hard shift at the abattoir....pffffffffttttttttt­.

  • Not for being a mix, I guess I should've put forward slashes instead of dashes, I apoligise.

  • I went to a rock concert,(tso) everyone remained pretty much seated until the band mentioned the armed forces, then everyone stood up, Now I have the utmost respect for members of the armed forces, but they are seen so high above everyone else. There are groups of people that risk their lives every day, work themselves to death, and do countless amounts of charity work, where is their "salute"? Its the mindset, its all wrong......they say the US is capitalist? only to a point.

  • btw in case anyone wondered, I am english, have lived in the US for 8 years, many countries have issues, but thw US is DRIVEN by belief in the media, CNN etc make the damn country worse, everyone IS pretty much told what to do, even when to be scared.....terrorism works simply because it scares the crap out of people........the media make it 10x worse. Freedom of speech? maybe.......take notice? never....only for some, and it it makes the government look bad, this song rocks!

  • blacktelecaster, hmmm you mean an english colony that when it becomes independant it turns to shit so much so that it has the largest migration to europe in the world?? ie India. Give most of these moaning countries independance or exactly what they want (ie south africa) and they turn to shit, corrupt, and become hell holes.

  • @rlseuro so true

  • i have new found glory for this song since that asshole obama got in office

  • great song-great band-great statement

  • As an American who wasn't that aware of politics at the time, this song was a wake up call for me. This was just a precursor to what the Bush administration tried to do.

  • Don't give a shit about all this mess and politics.Just enjoy the tune.Jump and dance!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song and give a fuck 'bout politics!!

  • Can anyone tell me where/when the New Model Army hand jive, for lack of a better description, started?

  • I have the height of respect for this band and have always loved them back from the 80s Justin Sullivan is a man who thinks like myself even if he has the ability to put it in song and words - but why the fuck did they call themselves after a psycopaths army who commited mass genocide in Ireland? so much that to this day cromwell is a symbol of pure evil in Ireland - on a par with hitler and sadam hussein - go read some history

  • 51st State is not Anti-American. It is anti the British mentality to always cow-tow to America, even when we disagree with them.

    I am an Englishman, not British and never, ever as long as I live European - English.

    If anything is castrating Britain right now is is our continued membership of this sham-democracy called the EU.

    BTW: You don't have to be American to be WASP.

    I am WASP - White, Anglo-Saxon, Proud.

  • i thought the P is wasp stood for Protestant?

  • I think we're only the 52nd state now! Lets hear a big cheer for a $7.25 minimum wage and being deprived of the basic human right of access to health care!

    How can a people acquiesce to trillions spent on illegal wars and sustaining a fascist apartheid zionist regime but kick up such a stink at the idea of providing universal healthcare to its own citizens!?!

  • brilliant!

  • That's all we need. On top of being the 51st State of America, we have to put with a bunch of yanks mouthing off on youtube because they don't like the way we see things. This is a criticism of the UK, not the USA , as such. You'll let us criticise ourselves won't you?

    The French foreign minister hit the nail on the head recently when he said the the UK was "castrating" Britain's position within the EU by adopting an "autistic" approach that would take Britain off the radar.

  • I am an American (of English decent) and I can read and understand exaclty what he and you are saying...I am with you...should not capitulate to the bully.

  • yes and no - the singer was alluding to the fact, in the first person plural, that the americans (defined as wasps, white anglo-saxon protestants) have an un-natural obession with teeth and guns - in direct contrast to justin's own quality set of chompers and a sly reference to americans' horrible fascination with the state of our teeth and our complete disregard, ignorance or wilful avoidance of cosmetic dental surgery and advanced root canal work. right, i think i'll get my anorak now, cheers!

  • I am sorry but I think you will find that is utter nonsense; I'll not beat around the bush as such here, but your complete disregard & wilful avoidance...

    May I present to you the Celebrity culture of America or was that something omitted?

  • Perfect analysis! I like it.

  • haha! I'd rather have minging teeth than be a W.A.S.P! XXXX and yes Justin certainly has some sort of phobia of toothbrushes! and combs and maybe just brushes of all types!!! hmmmm

  • lol

  • i'm american & i'm fed up w/ what the gov has done to us & the rest of the world

  • nice to see an american that isnt well how can i put .... stuck up on there countries power

  • yup. none of my friends are either. we see what's really going on. that's why we all left or are in the process of becoming ex-pats. it's one thing to be proud of the good things your country does. but to be blind to the obvious bad things is stupid.

  • Thats too bad. How quickly the world forgets what America stands for and that we are the only country born out of mans desire for freedom and liberty. All other countries are just regurgitated entrenched aristocracy and/or royalty or some other malevolent power. Look at the British Royalty! What a waste of time and money they are. Never fairly elected they just sit on their proverbial thrones with their nose turned up at everyone else. Immigrants still come here to have a better life.

  • Oh and his teeth are minging! I am married to a Glaswegian and I know what she thinks of America just like many of you but she still would rather be here than Scotland. And she has really nice teeth!

  • A country born out of terrorism (Boston Tea Party) and built on slavery and genocide.

  • at least we aren't an english colony- talk about evil...

  • Boston Tea Party, terrorism? Are you this delusional?

    Slavery and Genocide?Not unlike every European country.

  • @gosportnews god i hope youre not english because you will look a right asshole as great britain was the epitome of genocide slavery and terrorism for most of its existence!

  • @salvadory And yet we never get the credit we deserve for our blueprint of these things. I mean look at the ethnic cleansing we pulled off in the land Down Under. Hitler had nothing on them boys.

  • One of the best songs ever

  • Justin Sullivan = one of the most underated song writers ever.

  • @samborawakefield Yeah, but he didn't write this song, bar 1 verse, I believe

  • @samborawakefield 51st state was written by Ashley Cartwright though ;)

  • @samborawakefield

    he didn't write this song

  • @fallingonabruise youre right, he didnt (at least not the lyrics, NMA still wrote the music). But that doesnt make that statement any less true.

  • @samborawakefield

    This wasn't actually written by any New Model Army members, it was written by Ashley Cartwright if I recall correctly

  • Think of all the metal bands of the 80s. If NMA were gay, what would you call these bands?

  • Tune!!!!!!

  • yeah proud american sons

    We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun

  • Tidy. Cheers guys.

  • Hamburgers and Rock and Roll GAG! F...ing Yankee cultural imperialism!

    I rather like Sauerkraut, March music and Hitleryouth.

    It´s irony simple minds

  • neither sauerkraut nor march music or hitleryouth are or were important parts of german culture, if they were any at all.^^

    Believe it or not, instead of the US we do really have culture besides food and music : P

  • wakaw07: But the UK is no better? Look at our bloody and brutal history. We've committed outrages the damn Yankees have yet to dream of. And yes I'm English.

  • Dont worry my son, the empire will rise again. The world needs fixing. Can you say that the world is better since the Raj passed.

  • Yeah, hundreds of years of ago. get over it loser.

  • Nick the Frog do you still live on?

  • nice to see the swedish language at 1:21:)

  • this song is fucking EPIC

  • NMA welsh - not really. great song about the uk being a slave to americanism.

    1987 manchester international (is it still standing) all mohicans clogs and shin pads down the front, when a mosh pit was a mosh pit. "the corridors of power are an ocean away" nothing more tru than that

  • I'm not a fan of the U.S but the U.K is no better! As a matter of fact their history is equally as bad!

  • Meh! living in the 80's

    I rember being at a Gig with Turds n he broke his clog on some wankers head, NMA gigs put the fear of god into Metor fans even.

    Mucker the international 1 & 2 is long long gone, no scene in Manx no more....

    And yup i "Betcha" we invented Moshing, When Bradford was somewhere to be proud to be from.

    Now its just Small Town England.

    Scott, Bradford MIlitia till i die!

  • i saw them live on week-end... simply great!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • They're from Bradford.

  • which will be part of greater wales after king arthur returns to lead the reconquest

  • you learn something new everyday

  • How ironic that these songs are in an American music genre (i.e. rock)

  • Not really. The Brits have been forming rock bands for decades and if you knew that the song is about Reagan's control of Ms. Thatcher .. then you'd understand it as a protest song. Not ironic at all.

  • Rock is an American genre. The fact that American styles of music (and their derivatives), diet, and other forms of culture have taken over is not really a coincidence. It's what's known as "soft power."

  • "Soft Power" hahah! In 2009 that's the SILLIEST comment I've heard. If you were talking about Iran, Vietnam or Chile maybe .. BUT England? No. They've sort of been interlocked with the US since that little revolution thing. And they've had rock bands since soon after white people sped up the blues and called it their own.

    So it's not ironic but in fact so normal that it's passe or dull to even car about an English rock band and to comment about "Soft Power" on a 20 year old video is just silly.

  • Not ridiculous at all. The best weapon the USA has always had, has been Hollywood, not the A-bomb. Between that, and the records that came over with the British merchant fleet (including George Harrison's dad), and present day TV channels which show little but American programmes, the UK very much is the 51st State. " a 20 year old video" - Now there you're really being American! Us Europeans tend to think twenty years isn't that long. Americans do though! They live in an eternal present.

  • I don´t know why it is a kind of problem - natural Americans are Indians. They weren´t engaged in Rock.. ;-) The Brits took over the land, and since then the american history is a british one. I know that history isn´t that charming.. ;-)

  • The Brits have practiced a great deal of "soft power" in my part of the world. Now we speak their language almost perfectly, and 70/80% of our TV programming comes from them. The Americans learnt their cultural imperialism from the best...

  • almost makes ya get ur clogs out...

  • Wrong country. ;) The English don't really wear them and new wave / punk bands REALLY never wear them. ;)

  • Looking at Justin, the line "we know how to clean our teeth" makes me laugh.

    LOVE this song - teeth and all :-)

  • lol totally! it's the way he sings it! 'teeth' being so prominent! great song! love singin it when im pished! x

  • Long Live Rock and Roll !!!!!!!!!

  • i´m so looking forward to the concert ^^

  • Some songs never get old!

  • and my dad is god :D

  • my dad works for these dudes and stop takeing the piss out of there faces its just not right how would u like it

  • if you think he is ugly you want to meet me ha ha

  • I'll take brains over beauty anyday.You don't have to look at the face just listen to the song

  • And I'm sure you are the epitome of beauty, my dear!

    However...I would like to check out the last song that you wrote? Did it involve socio-political comment? Did it embolden a number of people to stand up and be counted on their views? Did it help in any way to help young people worry a little less knowing that someone they looked up to had 'their back'?

    Or did you just go and bitch on Youtube about stuff that...frankly? You just don't 'get'.......

  • awsome song

  • New Model Army still rocks!
