  • What year was this released ?

  • does anyone have ANY idea what it felt like watching this clip at the tender age of about 10??? I grew up with this in MTV and i will NEVER forget this clip; the emotional impact was just too great.

  • Ronnie IS Superman. And this is one of the most important music videos of all time. In a time when music videos really meant something - they were a form of political expression. So much better than expression through party lines... blah.

  • I love both versions of this song, the original by genesis, and the cover by disturbed. This music video is to creepy*XD*and the disturbed cover is too. . . disturbed. lulz

  • Is that Ronald Reagan as Superman??

  • Awesome video — back when they used to have music on MTV — instead of pure trash! Great band — their live shows were fab.

  • 1:52 the more things change the more they stay the same.

  • how interesting to see Gaddafi in there...hahahah

  • superman, where are you now xD

  • where r the fxs thats what made the vido for me with the puppet

  • i grew up with disturbed, but you can't beat this version either.

  • @TheAlchemist7771 this is the original version. 

  • @TheAlchemist7771 How old are you that you "grew up" with Disturbed?! Their cover sucked balls.

  • @arbmouser1 what i ment was i never listened to 80's bands god forbid that anyone else likes the same song made by a different band. also digitalshower disturbed isn't garbage, disturbed didn't make the song perfect and all they were saying was the world is still messed up.

  • @arbmouser1 LOL Cool story,bro.

  • One of the best videos ever made!!

  • 4:44 if you look in the upper right corner at freeze frame it looks like michael jackson!

    I would click 4:40 to get ready to pause at 4:44

  • woot! best video EVER!!! (excluding anything michael jackson)

  • Fascinating that people who weren't alive when Reagan was President are cluttering this thread with their Reagan worship. I remember when this video was new. I watched it on MTV. Intelligent people generally agreed: Reagan was exactly as stupid as this video says. And America loved him for it.

  • I was a child during the early to mid 80's and I can distinctly remember seeing the farms in my hometown go bankrupt because of Reagan's stupid policies after the farms went all the local industry connected with the farms disappeared then the big factories in the neighboring towns closed down and went overseas leaving our entire area without any industry or chances for employment.

    Now the place that was my hometown is a ghost town and it breaks my heart to think that we were betrayed by Reagan.

  • @Hammerfall794 And how many Presidents have we had since then? Reagon's stupid policies were approved by "who"? Nothing gets done by the President alone. A vote must be done by congress and go to the senate for approval. then its signed into effect. kind of like Reagon helping the "most savage dictators". everybody knew about bin laden but still the republicans and democrats helped. Come on cry about something thats not repeated over and over. be original

  • @ziggypop1977

    Reagan was able to get his policies approved easily during his first term because he had majorities of sycophantic neo-cons in both the senate and house who did his bidding and that was when he did the most damage to this country with his tax cuts for the rich while raising taxes on the poor and working classes irrational defense spending deregulation of all industry and his abandonment of family farms and the poor in favor of the wealthy and big corporations.

  • @Hammerfall794 Seriously, I am very happy knowing there is some one who knows what they are talking about. I like Reagon, but there are things that he did i do not agree. But lets face it, tax cuts are still being given to the wealthy. And, we the majority of Americans are the ones who suffer. Thank you for your comments and give yourself a pat on the back.

  • HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY RONALD! You were the best Pres this country ever had!

  • all yall shut up and watch the video im tired of u assholes who make stupid comments on music vids just listen and watch

  • this video showed what a dumbass reagan was .. in the end he got what he deserved ! after bush worst president ever ..

  • @hippyprez let me just take a shot in the dark...you're a liberal.

  • @JasonSideburn .no im not .. im not for eather party !

  • @hippyprez Let me guess, another douche with political views ? what did Reagon do what was so wrong? And back it with facts. I want to have a good debate on Reagon. And if you don't have anything to back your opinion. i will help by saying that Reagon was once a dumb-o-crat and decided to become a republican or he was just a movie star. what policies do not agree with ?

  • @ziggypop1977 are you kidding me ? well lets see lets start with iran- contra scandal, the BCCI scandal, the Pentagon procurement scandal , backing and arming Saddam Hussein , that boondoggle that was "Star Wars"

    funding and training Osama bin Laden , being responsible for "trickle-down" economics , firing 12,000 striking air traffic controllers and beginning the weakening of unions , being first to cut taxes by 60% for the top 1% of the wealthy THERE ARE A FEW LET ME GIVE YOU MORE !

  • @ziggypop1977 WOW , finally some one who has used the internet to get some dirt on Reagan. I must complement you on your drive to state your case. lets take obama for instance. you said reagans men were convicted with crimes. obama has convicted criminals working for him. in the first 19 months obama has added more to the debt than all presidents from washington to reagan combined. come on dont waste my time with simple shit.

  • @ziggypop1977

    Reagan openly supported some of the most savage mass murdering dictators of the time even making pulbic statements praising them and being apoplectic towards their crimes against humanity.

    Reagan's policies in Afghanistan led directly to the rise of Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban (he had the CIA fund and arm the groups that would eventually become Al Queida and the Taliban).

  • @hippyprez Let me guess, another douche with political views ? what did Reagon do what was so wrong? And back it with facts. I want to have a good debate on Reagon. And if you don't have anything to back your opinion. i will help by saying that Reagon was once a dumb-o-crat and decided to become a republican or he was just a movie star. what policies do you not agree with ?

  • @ziggypop1977 HERE ARE A FEW MORE !! being the first to have over 100 members of his administration charged with felonies and other crimes , calling Berkeley anti-war protesters "campus malcontents and filthy speech advocates" , releasing mental patients in 1984 and starting a huge homeless problem in the US , being first to nearly triple the national debt ,

    NOT TO MENTION HOW FREAKIN STUPID HE WAS .. HERE YA GO ! said that ketchup is a vegetable, that "trees pollute" WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?

  • I see a dead pedophile puppet! x3

  • 4:42 behind the old man in the white suit... is that supose to be MJ in the black suit?

  • this is the best music video i have ever seen

  • creepy shit, but it's so awesome xP

    wickeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

  • Worth watching as long as you turn the sound off!

  • So many familiar faces in this video, I love it! :-)! THUMBS UP/LIKED!!!

  • Creepy as shit

  • Comment removed

  • @baalz99 MTV played videos?

  • @asianmusicfan001 Thank you :D ... I very like songs from the 80's my tipp: phill collins and Alphaville

  • by 3:42 Is that tina turner..?? I veri like this singers!!!

    Best wishes...

  • @ggLaRsgg Yes it was. ^-^ I also like Genesis. They are one of the best bands out there from the 80's imo.

  • This sounds different somehow.  The sound of marching feet and other background is missing? Am I wrong?

  • Killer!

  • Disturbed is better

  • @Ozzyosb200 shut up, if you think is better go to their video, donkey

  • I LOVE SCARY PUPPETS!

  • lol bands like Disturbed are WHY we live in a land of confusion.. most of their songs are negative and stupid.

  • @immobile2005 only if u like to look at it that way watch the music video inside the fire by disturbed its about the lead singer of disturbed's girlfreind (i think) when she commited suicide i  dont really think that goes in the stupid catagory and their hit song ten thousand fist nothing negative/stupid about it please do me a favor before u start hatting on a band listen to their music first and make sure u kno what the songs mean

  • EPIC SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • isn't it sad that a song from 1986 is more relevant today than ever? :/ *Ps if anyone was confused by the strange eyeglass things the puppets were wearing near the start of the video, Government officials wore them while viewing nuclear bomb tests in the 40's&50's to protect their eyes from the intense and sudden light. lol I know all kinds of seemingly pointless yet interesting things :P OH! pps Greatest song ever! ;)

  • This is fucking creepy

  • If I could write a Triceratops while dressed as a cowboy, I would be so happy ^^

  • Disturbed version is way way better than this

  • @tyronewheeler I love the disturbed version, but in my very humble opinion, the classic/original is always the best

  • @tyronewheeler yea u really cant say that about 2 of the same songs just in different time periods its like saying the xbox 360/ps3 is better than the atari/sega

  • @tyronewheeler not even close to half way as good.

  • This is the RIGHT version of this song. The original and best. Go 80s! :)

  • @kittensugars DISTURBED got it from them so i would guess they liked it to have remade it so everyone wins

  • 3:48

    is that supposed to be Pete Townshend??

    "my generation will put it right"

    it probably is, thats cool :P

  • Only good song Genesis had after Peter Gabriel left.

  • @xNightmarexVampsx I have to disagree with ya there

  • the song is better from disturbed

  • I disagree I think the disturbed version is better darker but better

  • was mussolini in there?

  • SPITTING IMAGE ROCKS! And so does the video. Dark Message, yet i laughed like hell at Ronald Regan dressed as Superman (and that rubber duck)

  • The State of california, USA dedicated to.

  • Disturbed is good, genesis is Exellent! nothin' beats the original version...

  • @MrEinstein888 i agree!

  • Heck, the first version i heard was Disturbed, and they did an awesome job, but you just can't beat the original! ^^

  • The Disturbed fans that come to this video, and decide to insult this video should realize that this band made the song you are bashing. You have to remember that the 80's it was the pop generation, Disturbed wasn't even thought of. Also how do you expect it to be like animation like if it was the 80's technology was not as advance as it is now. Puppets were cool, and it made its point. Plus Genesis was the 80's. (=

  • @volgurl11 I agree with you!! This video was the top of the best during the 80's! and Genesis (with Phil Collins) has always been one of the best bands ever... I've heard the Disturbed version, and even though it is good enough, it cannot be compared to the original version, since it is only a good remake, but not an excellent one. And I'm not talking about images and videos (it cannot be compared either, because of tech advances), but the hi-quality of music and arrangements.

  • Can comeone tell me if i'm on a LSD trip or an Awesome trip please?

  • holy crap. This is good music, but the video is messed up. What are they smoking in their pipes?

  • this is the best band of the 80s

  • @TheConick69 With U2 :)

  • man, this goes to show they had much better quality crack in the 80's..

  • funny

  • i love this song!

  • Can't you see?This is the land of confusion.Well,this is the world we live in.And these are the hands we're givin.Let's never stop trying,to make it a place worth living.Amen.

  • Its crazy this was back in the 80"s but the same shit with politics still applies to us now!

  • i just realised if i dont say this now people are gonna go crazy i know the singers name is Phil Collins

  • the singer looks like bill murray to me

  • thx for posting! lotta memories! this is what i grew up with -- though i like the disturbed version as well -- nice homage to the original. regards.

  • I definitely like this oringinal better than the Disturbed version, if only for the fact that Disturbed went way too hard and Genesis is legend!

  • Dude, they must have been high as hell to come up with that music video. I felt like I was on acid watching it now.

  • @zozayamanny well u gotta remember this was in the 80's this kiinda stufff was all they had and apparetly ppl liked it lol

  • i love this video is really fun and great and theres none like it this video and song rocks!!!

  • A Classic Video from the 80's. Thanks for posting.

  • SO EPIC!!!  Love this.

  • phil collins is my joint

  • Goody two shoes!!

  • Hahaha, Syllvester Stallone as Rambo at 3:17 xDD the actor that play rocky too. Lol xD

  • @kciskool12311 You're a moron disturbed sucks

  • @kciskool12311 I love the cover by Disturbed, but this is the original Land of Confusion. You can't barge in on people who grew up with this. I knowq for sure i get more hype blasting Disturbed's version.

  • @digitalshower i'm 15 and i think that there is no beating the origional

  • @digitalshower The Disturbed cover was garbage, is garbage, and will forever be garbage. Huh, kinda like Disturbed is... yep, you guessed it; GARBAGE

  • Michael was there!

  • In the end of the video, President Raegan pressed a button marked Nuke and the bed exploded.

  • YEAH! great job Genesis! very good song!

  • This isn't a "version" of the song, it is the song. Disturbed did a cover of it, but Genesis wrote it.

  • they were trying to make a statment

  • UBER ! old school ;)

  • OMG GAYYYYYY! disturbeds version made the best version and the anime video is waaaaay better than this puppet crap

  • @beastlysk8r22 i am totally with u on that one bro ... this is ok i mean its still the rootes that disturbed went back to and used to make it better ... but disturbes version is so much more better and stronger than this ^^

  • @beastlysk8r22 Idiot.

  • @beastlysk8r22 Sorry, but saying that disturbed is better because the animation looks better than puppet crap is Like saying " Avatar" is better than Empire Strikes back, because I mean look at the special; effects dude. You cannot compare 20 year old technologies and say " Old tech look bad therefore the old song sucks." Personally from an artistic perspective I preferr the genesis video. although I do Like How Disturbed chose to animate their version also.

  • Disturbed verzion make it super song.

  • WTF am i on acid or is this a awesome video

  • was this a Henson family effort?

  • @EightyPredatorsWide No, look up Splitting Image

  • @atree496 Badass!! thank you!!

  • Disturbed- meh. Genesis- meh. IN FLAMES VERSION- WHOAAA!!! (Just kidding, isturbed ftw)

  • DISTURBED REMAKE IS BETTER IN MY OPINION srry for caps :p

  • i love this song!!!

  • this video is fucked up what the hell were they doin acid

  • muy buen video de los mejores clásicos

  • Kind of fits whats happening today to a tee.I'm giving you 6 stars****** for this one.Thank you for having it & for sharing it with us.Zeke.

  • Remember the time frame people! In the 80's this WAS very high tech for a video. Same time as Empire Strikes Back.

  • i like the disturbed version mainly because they depict the song better since they have hard core drawings and genesis has puppets bet genesis is still good for making the song

  • genesis version > disturbed version

  • Ten thousand fists in the air!

  • to juz musi miec ze dwadziesciapare lat a ciagle brzmi swiezo :-)))) polecam zamiast dobranocki :-))

  • Not bad for a man with altzhiemers

  • 4:32

    Its really Michael Jackson^^

  • vote lib dem

  • great video thanks for posting

  • Is that Tina Turner and Prince?

  • EPIC video!

  • At 1:24-1:33 looks like a flying creature I took a picture of in Okinawa?

  • yeah, this just creeps me out reaaaally badX(

  • PREFER has one "f."

  • But then James Baker, US Secretary of State, 1992 and Christopher Warren, US Secretary of State, January 1994, were and probably still are Neanderthals.

  • This video clearly shows that the Reagan administration was still living in a cave in prehistory and the Reagans were in fact Neanderthals.

  • ANd your an idiot. The CHimp is BONZO, the monkey he acted with in the 40's and 50's.

  • Maybe the chimp would have done a better job than Reagan. It might even have found a solution to America's economy and the chimp might have avoided an economic meltdown.

  • You must be an Obama lover too young to remember the 80's. While Ronnie wasn't perfect in his first term, the second wasn't bad. At least he wasn't about to hold hands and sing Kum Bah Ya!

    For the record, I'm not Dem or Rep.

    Also for the record, this was HUGELY ground breaking video, in fact, spawned a short-lived sitcom with the puppets.

  • @milw189 actually, the sitcom came before the video.

  • @milw189 hat to be a know it all, but the show was there before the vid.

  • fuck EEUU

  • Lol Someone was on some serious acid when they did this video

  • este es el mejor video de phil collins con su grupo genesis, según yo!!

    y no da miedo como dice SinPower25....ajajajaja.!!

  • Disturbed's Version is much better ;)

  • lol the puppets look fucked up but the song is great

  • One of the best videos I've ever seen! This one should have won instead of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer"!

  • Awesome 80s Track!!! Thanks for the Upload

  • I have to rate this video down a couple of notches, as the original video had a lot more background sound effects that are not in this presentation. I'd like to find that version, as it is the one that I remember from the MTV days.

  • SO NICE! It all, the song / the lyric, the video... PERFECT! And Phil collin's voice as well <3

  • Da miedo xDDD mucho miedo

  • This animation is weird.

  • check out 4:45 and 4:46 , the real Phil Collins jumps up in the crowd

  • its not the real one, its his puppet!

  • We all know the real Phil Collins resides in Sunnyvale trailer park...

  • 4:31 is that Micheal Jackson?

  • yeah it's Michael.

  • am i watching this or am i on weed?

  • @JordanJ39 try both at the same time

    

  • @JordanJ39 Perhaps a bit of both? Hmmm??? lol

  • mave.foorumi.eu

  • I was scared of the video when I was younger, I think it was the puppets lol..

    I'm 16 and my dad showed me this song and I love it, it's clever because the words in the song assocciate with what is happening in the world now.

    I also like their song Invisible Touch

  • @CazLovesTokioHotel I was scared to hell when I saw it as a 6 year old...well I am 27yrs now and sometimes I think back especially during the swamp shot...ay...but the message is still the most important thing...where are these kind of videos now?

  • decius51 Made an idiot comment about "2nd worst president." Probably a "Gen Y" jack-ss whose idea of what makes a president is based on some 20-something left-wing ideology.

    I lived the Carter years, and the embarrassment (inflation, recession) that went with them. If you like Carter, go crawl down to Venezuela and kiss up to your new hero, Hugo Chávez.

  • The fools elected the second worst president of the United States in 1980, Ronald Reagen.

    JIMMY CARTER FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • yep and the worst one in 2000. god that man was an idiot

  • I'm giving you 6 stars ****** for this one.Thank you for having it,& for sharing it with us.Zeke

  • Great song and a great and thoughtful video.
