Midnight Oil - Put down that weapon live

[wendyandles]

the drummer is hot

[bartmitsfer]

looks like voldermort from harry potter

[49louveteau]

Superbe!

[kfrvr865]

3:10 His voice resembles Christian Bale's Batman :)

[TBellaDotka]

...must be a conspiracy...I heard the song 3days ago in grocery store :D:)))....

[TBellaDotka]

...."And if the sea goes boiling black

Can you tell me what you'll do about that"...

[TBellaDotka]

album: "Diesel And Dust" (1987)

..."And if we think about it

And if we talk about it

And if the sea goes boiling black

Can you tell me what you'll do about that

Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

I must know something to know it's so wrong

And it happens to be an emergency"...

[Willburys]

like Midnight Oil more than U2.

[NOIZYtank]

U can tell Peter Garrett supports uranium cause he is tall, bald and freaky lookin.

[MrJMH1954]

Detente started during the "Cold War", the USA most likely saved the world then. Would you prefer to speak Russian? Now, things have changed, the US is "Ruled" by idiots and the whole world will suffer, Sharia Law is coming....

[aishiaodam]

nice video

[maedasadao]

muitos nw conhece estas musicas e ou o MIDNIGHT OIL!!!! !!muito ruim pra sociedade de hj !!

[jerryfalwellsociety]

I love this song and accept that nukes keep the peace. Pete's now in a government which allows US nukes on Aussy soil. Go figure?

[copdancer]

Muss man 30 mal hören, um die Komplexität der message vollständig zu erfassen; sehr gelungen in meinen Augen (Track 2 auf dem Album), läuft im Auto gern mal in Schleife, sehr emotional, fettes Lob!

[bvbmarkus94]

very good

"Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone

You must be crazy if you think you're strong"

I simply love this song! =)

[lozarok]

Oils = Classic Aussie ROK With a Vision...

[chichipotle]

i loved this band since this record, brings back wondrfull memories. Rock on Australia.

[lesdoyle2000]

2009 Feb 12 Australian commandos involved in a bungled raid in which six civilians including five children were killed. Australia Defence initially said six people died in the attack, including 5 children and an insurgent however all killed were civilians including 2 babies, 3 children and a teenager.. Several other women and children were wounded. An undisclosed amount paid. Three Australian soldiers have been charged with manslaughter.

[copdancer]

@lesdoyle2000 ´cause of this I wrote "complex text", listen one time is not enough, it´s a hard "game", we´re all involved, so or so, regards!

[peterlawler1]

@lesdoyle2000

You've obviously put this cr ap on to incite a response. i'll respond. you are a left wing piece of cr ap. Enjoy your freedom to spit venom on those that protect you. You make me sick

[lesdoyle2000]

@peterlawler1

I'd love to know how you come to the conclusion that invading Afghanistan and killing people for oil companies improves our freedom.

[inventorialpunt]

saw them live in Briz in '90, they were fantastic!

[tanyao1962]

I watched my mothers face change as we heard the news about my brothers death at the age of 24.I must know something to know its all wrong.RIP my brother I miss you.............It hurts to hear it but I still love this song.

[Licantropus]

Peter Garret regurgitates the evil of the world by means of your music!!!! Great!!! Great!!! Great!!!!Tanks from Brazil1!!

[agmarmcduff]

Banda australiana monstruosamente fodástica. Os caras gostavam de tratar de temas políticos e ambientais, o que poderia ser algo chato se o rock praticado pela turma do carecão Peter Garret não fosse tão raçudo e empolgante.

[agmarmcduff]

Nossa, como amo isso tudo! Show mais foda no ano em que nasci! hahaha Essa música é um hino na minha vida! Thank's M. Oil!

[aforest86]

...you must be crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

80's were great stuff, the Oils too!

Thx for posting!

[occyoccy]

Awesome Performance POWERFUL!!!

[ShantiOoom]

Thank God for Peter Garrett.

[leonarbe]

What a song.... I love the pace, how it changes rhythms.

God bless the Oils

[leroy351]

This song had a catchy tune bout it

[pyromancer0318]

great aussie band...

[indiemuzochick]

Midnight Oil at their best. I saw them years ago in P/North when they played. Awesome live band. Garret the ultimate activist. Great music.

[soursnup]

I like this drummer

[SumnerMurrayRedstone]

@soursnup He's every musician's favourite.

[Ampaccessories]

Midnight oil never cease to amaze me with their beat & message, prolly aussies best ever band..

[rozzo111]

Garret is a sell out flea

[hanazir]

Nice groove!

[slowdown1]

absolument parfait !! du frissons en veux tu en voila !!

[baldyman1969]

a song that brings back amazing memories that will never be replaced by anything........... EVER ! thanks for the memories guys !

[jerryfalwellsociety]

[baldyman1969]

Totally agree. Amazing memories - amazing music. Love it.

[cabronte]

I've never understood why this band didn't become U2-like huge. I know that they did well but, wow, in the States I know people who have no idea who they were. Great message, great songs, great playing.

[MR2171]

I'm an innocent victim

I'm just like you

We end up in home units

With a brick wall view

I can't believe the perfect families on my colour TV

If I don't make it to the top it will never bother me

[Nigelxman]

@cabronte They actually had a bigger following in the U.S. than you may realize. Having said that, I agree they should have been much much bigger.

[swassontelus]

@Nigelxman Bigger doesn't mean better. Look at the popularity of most of the insanely silly and untalented things in the world. The Oil is like any other great thing...it truly touches those good folks who recognize talent and appreciate it.

[drumsetikus]

Inexorable 4/4 time from Rob Hirst! That's as solid as it gets! Great song, great message.

[the1wuworld69]

but the song is tasty beans

[the1wuworld69]

lol voldemort. horrible singing lol

[alain620]

c quoi ce groupe c nouveau super

[louveteau499]

Inegale,superbe.

[matt4270]

Amazing textural guitars, somewhere between Pink Floyd and the Police!

[tfaos]

Great song, but does anyone else agree the should have cast him as lord Voldemort in the harry potter movies? haha

[rockinroller7]

No.

[equinoxecinq]

if this isn't awesome, i don't know what is

[1umulamahri]

To love australia is to love Midnight oil.

Deserving of so much more sucess,

than Ac$dc!

Ac$dc are a truly overated band!

[am2boni]

I love this song. I haved always visualized,while listening to this song, that the powers at be, sitting in their chairs, shaking hands, when I hear, "They keep talking about it", while in the background I see the large neuclar mushroom. This is a total classic song!!! Carry On!!!

[ereslopeoor]

superb!

[louvetaille]

Génialisimmmmmmmmmme

[TheConquistor]

i love the part where it goes '' put down that weapon'' its like god talking to two countrys fighting and to just make peace.

[insomnia80s]

love em great band!!!!!!!!!!!!

[am2bonilla]

Put that weapon down!!!!! Some day we will live in peace!!!!

[InfernalPurge]

Unfortunately I don't think that will ever happen: as people think different and have different importances and religions, there are people who want to force the others theirs. So as long as mankind remains in existence, there will be war.

I'm afraid we can only wait for the time there will be as less war as possible, as a world without war is utopian. That, however, doesn't mean we don't have to fight racism and try to make peace everywhere, because every peace counts as a good achievement.

[mozartcontinuation]

dear pete it was great performance as usual,but i m fear you have to say more loudly and several times put down... because the other side deaf as doorpost.

[JimShadyUK]

Saw them in 1990 at Wembley. They came on stage and the place went mental for the next two hours. My friend passed out and had to go to the medics. I lost half a stone through sweat and dancing - no kidding. Still one of the top three gigs I've ever been to.

[SumnerMurrayRedstone]

@JimShadyUK Yeah. People don't believe you when you tell them shit like that. It's fucking true. All of it. They get the adrenalin pumping so hard. The one concert I was had - it was pandemonium afterwards. They lost control of the crowd - and most of them were A&R agents from other record companies!

[jamescause]

they have always ruled the stage

[SumnerMurrayRedstone]

I believe it. I talked to their sound manager about those D&D tours and he said for example what happened at Radio City in New York scared the shit out of even him and he and the crew thought they'd seen everything. No band ever has done on stage what they do. Pure adrenalin rush. You know the worst? When they stop! It's like this incredible wall of silence that becomes deafening! I've seen crowds lose it in the silence. No other music act has ever had such an effect on live audiences. No other.

[steeledge1]

Like the oil could ever put on a bad performance. :)

[TrejosEd]

One of the best OIL´S Anthems

[ididjaustralia]

kick arse performance!

[nickmenza]

wht a performance, but their albums after year 2000 not so good, their older albums kick ass

[truganini29]

Redneck Wonderland is a good album

[kylejj64]

Capricornia (2002) is an amazing album.

[kylejj64]

That is a BRILLIANT performance of a great song.

[jamo5468]

Awesome performance from Australia's greatest Band ever
