[richardmarkwood]

Tune King Monkey!

[preston2009bigtings]

[MrTonycullen]

"war what is it good for FUCK ALL AND I AM FROM IRELAND"

[pwwwnd01]

Ian brown is great lyrically. but not vocally

[femmemina]

Ian is cool..

[rogan71]

People are still regurgitating the lie that we are fighting to protect freedom...The sad truth is the brainwashed are the majority. We could be in Afghanistan for 1000 years and we won't achieve a thing for the people there...We'll of course control the puppet government and control of Eurasia...How dare they tell us we're helping to spread peace and freedom...Fucking liars!

[TheGilly1974]

ring the soldiers back, n nuke the fuckers. 9/11 revenge. they won't be big n clever when the last thing they see is a flash of white light the fuckin murdering scum bags!!!!

[pavementchaser]

fuckin brilliant

[smudger909loop]

classic statments

[bohsblur]

very like the inspiral carpets video for uniform.. two of my favourite artists of

all time..

[sugarraygras]

You should be happy about living in a democracy which is why Ian is aloud to sing this!If he was in certain countries singing about the elite he would be be-headed in the street!Love the track though and the fact that he is not afraid to deal with a poltical subject!

[keflar5]

Religion is small fucking potatos when compared to the greatest mind controll machine ever invented ie-the TV, great tune great man

[AnyViiideos]

yes u 100 right dude

[Kesterminator]

One of the best english frontmen ever, people who are insulting him on here clearly have no clue

[tashpish]

people insultin the brown arent clueless, their just a bunh of cunts!!

ian brown leg-end!!!

[MikeHuntisMassive]

well according to that idiot from reverend and the makers there is only himself and lily allen(yeah) that speak out! get a grip!

[DreamerM]

The role of artists in a democracy is to say what they think. We have a culture so that we can have access to the insight of creative, intelligent people as they reflect back at us their view of what the world really is.

That said, all that saves this song from the trap of dogmatism is Ian Brown himself. His voice has the softest touch ever. And this video has a twist I didn't see coming. That's what makes it powerful.

[lepass7]

at least he sing the truth

[kaibar25]

you lot are so dramatic!! this song is so fucking shit!!! he`s fucking ugly bloke! ro retire ian please.

[ibmonkeyman]

fuck you.

why would you want thim to retire, the mans a fucking great artist, a living fucking legend.

now fuck off.

[jocksteeluk]

This is the best version video.

[bagzie]

Very powerful video. I always thought it would be more fitting to release 'So many soldiers' as a single to spearhead the anti-war movement, my favourite Ian Brown song. Ian, it's up to you to enlighten the UK with a song about the NWO, it's shady network of global politicians which includes our very own Gordon Brown and the scum of the global elite. 9/11 and 7/7 WERE BOTH INSIDE JOBS....WAKE UP PEOPLE ARE MINDS OUR BEING MANUIPULATED BY THE MURDOCH MEDIA! peace.

[bigcricht]

all because of religion,(oh and oil)

[calmflare]

EXACTLY. I've been thinking so much about how religion is the root of so many contemporary issues.

[mezzuna]

i think we fit in well with the animaal world. the mammals cull eachother when their numbers are too many. every year the only certain thing the antelope do is run off the edge of a cliff en mass. the only certain thing humans will do is kill another race close to thier own. everywher on earth close factions or ethnic groups are fighting eachother, its our pri morial instinct to destroy ourselvs. the great cull

[slippythewhip]

This video is quality.

I'm firmly in Ian Browns corner when he says that more artists/bands should speak out against the war,corrupt foreign policy and dirty deed politicians.

For all that could have been achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan (rebuilding them as modern, stable countries) so little has been gained by the Iraqi/Afghan people.

[Debginge]

I wish I could meet Ian Brown in person... I would have a lot to chat about...

D XXXXX

[cdudec]

Thats what I thought until I met him completly unexpectedly in a motorway service station and I didnt no what the fuck to say!!!

Managed to get an autograph though he was sound!!

Ian Brown should be the prime minister!

[bennyboy1888]

cormally - AGREED!

[dean24uk]

lyrics in this are awsome, ian brown hits the nail on the head,

[andyc197]

Love the fact its a reme bod with a fuck off beret thats recruitin

[UglyJireGirl]

humans are natually destructive, after completely dominating the animal world theres nothing left to challenge them so now they just attack each other

btw great vid, great song, fight the power!

[DotsyOO7]

Atleast one Brit can admit its disgraceful what the brit army is doing he got an irish republican warrior princess on the track to help him out how cool is king monkey, fuck colonism and war mongers.

[addeenulhaq07]

love it!

[fidld]

This is brilliant :)

speak out!!!

[BoriChumba]

Brilliant! Welcome to our world wide family Ian!

[hajghaith]

Sad but so true

[cormally]

It seriously annoys me when great tunes don't get recognised or don't get the appreciation it deerves. How good is this tune. Excellent

[prophetforpeace]

the educational system is failing our children to breed the future army

educate your children with the truth not goverment lies

"...It aint the size of the dog in the fight,

its the size of the fight in the dog.."

Classic!

[noisecape]

he's woken up tons of dumbass indie kids and other pop-culture idiots.

And that is good work.

These illegal wars are a product of an overly powerful corporate influence controlling our governments.

[hockeyi721]

good try, but unless your the president of the US this isn't solving much. for all your know this Ian guy is just making money off this cause he sees theres alot of people out there that aren't for the war. So all hes got to do is make songs that against the war and hes guaranteed to have fans...

[oclandestin]

Maybe you're not familiar with Ian Brown. He's never done anything for cheap popularity. If you've ever read any of his recent interviews, he's very much into social justice. Current anti-war songs are few and far between, especially from legends like Brown, so this isn't a popularity move, far from it.

[oclandestin]

Besides all that, it makes a change to see artists singing about issues that actually matter. Big name artists like Ian Brown and Sinead O'Connor will always add weight to an issue. Protest songs raise awareness and make people think, and there is so much political apathy out there, music is an ideal medium.

[hockeyi721]

if that floats your boat...

[agonystes]

I hope he does make money for this single. He is sending a wonderful message in an elequent and lyrically thought out song. It better than hearing "Aboot in your ass" or "God bless America cause at least I know its free" which produce only dalse realisms. Those are the people who should be be ashamed of making money on this war along with Bush, Cheney, Blair and all of the corporate vampires that they work for.

[noisecape]

the president of the US doesn't do shit, except take his marching orders from the globalists

[adslads1]

excellent song, amazing lyrics + Sinead O Connor gives the song an emotional edge! love it!

[joebloggs]

Best protest song in years. Concise and to the point.

[oclandestin]

Great song Ian. Keep speaking the truth.

[magentadivine]

ian u are god

brilliant tune

[ridbadboy123456789]

"am not an ordinary monkey, am the King Monkey!!!!!!"

[tashkandhm]

God! it's too damn powerfullll! it gave me goose bumps! thanx a zillion for such a great art in terms of the song itself, and the video directing! THUMBSUP!

[tbenefi33]

Totaly awsome video thanks for posting it.

[homerbear46]

bush and cheaney get paid,for the things they arrange,at the end of the day its just so much looechange,and the public are made, to believe what is played, day after day on the tv sharade, tho the storys they say, keep on fallin away, and the FEMA cage keeps on closin each day, maybe clinton gets laid,the new world order is made, false war takes the money while kids die from aids, are you not afraid?haliburton gets paid,..... but only so many soldiers come home

[tinghaling]

This version is better

[JimmygBHOY]

Sinead compliments the fella very well. Good to see those two gettin their shit together and producing the goods.

Quality lyrics and tune as well.

[fotoloco]

genious rock!!!

[fallopeanutube]

Truthfull raw and god dam sexy x

[aaron24wood]

Both versions are fine enough, but my vote goes with this one...

[vandalissimus]

i like this version little better

[richardmarkwood]

He just gets better and better and better....

[Libertine7]

The Manchester monkey man speaks sense cool song and vid...

[cormeen]

They should have let Ian Brown join them for breakfast, or at least given him a cup of tea.

[richardmarkwood]

Hey cormeen, good point.......if Ian Brown turned up whilst I was having my "Full English", I'd have offered him a cuppa and a bacon butty!

[muckletoon]

both versions are kool

[DudeTed]

i prefer this version! :)
