  • grew up with greats like this

    from the beatles to the stones

    we all walk and try to find

    our place in the sun

    without going blind

  • There are few songwriters who actually came up with a whole new sound. John Fogerty is one of them. He is as exciting now as when I first heard him back in the 60's. Thanks again for posting.

  • Great American songwriter.

  • He really nailed it here!

    He sacrificed the original controlled anger and outrage, but drove the song with a renewed urgency which is astonishing.

    Great, but sadly not likely to be heeded by the people in power anytime soon.

  • thumbs up even if you didn`t!!

  • @:58

    And Johnny Depp on guitar!

  • best antiwar song 

  • John, no one can sing the songs you wrote the way you do. Know one else can touch them. And that drummer Kenny is amazing. The best drummer out there.

  • Do U belive he has 60 years old in this vid ?? He looks 40 years old. Still got his great voice, and energy !

  • Battlefield Vietnam Main Theme

  • john Fogerty needs to headline the fucking super bowl halftime show.

  • @7stacylover the reason they don't is because he's antiwar, and most football fans are warmongre hillbilies (no offense)

  • Who cares where you have heard this song??? The most important thing is that you have heard it.

  • end is good

  • i heard this from gutair hero

  • Run Forrest, Run

  • what's call of duty? lololol

  • Thumbs up if you don't care whether anyone else heard this from Black Ops.

  • nor battlefield vietnam :)

  • what's funny, is when john was younger w/CCR he never moved onstage...got some life as he aged

  • i heard this song in a tape of zero's skate or die with jamie thomas

  • The bastard still sounds great....

  • I first heard of this song through Call of Duty. And I love it. And I love John Fogerty and his music. So I guess CoD did me a favor there.

  • @kazetehskylord this song is in like every vietnam movie ever.

  • @xxbrkdwnxx I can tell why, it certainly has the right feeling

  • @kazetehskylord i think the only movie it wasn't in was Full Metal Jacket. but they had bird is the word... so that makes up for it.

  • Only a few have written anything as good as this in the last 40 years.

  • This song NEVER was on Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty 4, and anything of the series afaik. This awesome song is in an awesome game: Battlefield Vientam. Now, lets stop talking about FPS games' soundtracks. and lets listen to the song.

  • @1012611 It's in the Black Ops Campaign.

  • @kazetehskylord humm thanks, I didn't had time to play Black Ops. Still finishing MW2.

  • @1012611 In my opinion the Black Ops campaign is the best one so far. But the MP is crap.

  • This was on CoD? Oh well... I knew this song when there was no spam (Like "Thumbs up if you .....", or "Lady Gaga/Justin Beiber disliked this video")... John Fogerty, man, what a guitar player and singer... without Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival would be nothing, my opinion.

  • FUCK COD

  • I aint noo fortunatee DAAAh!.. i Aint no fortunaate DAaaAAAH! I aint no fortunate Soooon.. wow, this dude is a vocal beast!

  • great rune, fuck COD

  • Eh, I don't care for this particular version of the song. Still, I'm damn impressed by how active and energetic he is after all these years.

  • People who click dislike on this Fogerty vid are liberal pro-war idiots who support Obama and Bush's wars in the middle east where the U.S. spends billions to invade and brutally occupy sovereign nations where we force them to accept democracy as a form of government at the expense of our taxpayers and the cost of countless lives of innocent U.S. soldiers and civilians. Real Americans know the U.S. should spend that money to create new jobs and take care of America first! Ron Paul 2012

  • If you don't like this song, you're deranged

  • weres the original video with Kobe byrant shooting guns ect? .......

    ../ settle just joking

  • Thumbs up if you knew this song before CoD

  • @nvvn94 And Die Hard 4.0 doesn't count as well! ;)

  • @siead4 I haven't seen it.

  • @nvvn94

    What is CoD? i just know Creedence, man.

  • @nvvn94 Never knew this song was in cod, so should I thumb you up/down or do nothing?

  • @Ziklos2 This song apears in one mission of CoD Black Ops

  • @nvvn94

    It's in CoD? Where ?

  • @krtek252 In Black Ops, in a Vietnam mission

  • @krtek252 the one were ur in vietnam..very beginning of the level

  • @nvvn94 It's kind of sad that in this day and age a video game provokes younger people to listen to music like this versus the simple pleasure of wanting to listen to good music. And no, I am not some 65 year old, just a young adult in his mid-20s who wishes I was born in a different decade.

  • @DeeceJeff I'm 17 and I knew this song before that game. I always heard it in Vietnam movies and I liked, so I searched and finally knew the name. Nowadays most of the kids of my age knows some bands because of games or something like that.

  • @nvvn94 First heard it in Vietnam movies and Battlefield Vietnam, which was loong time ago.

  • @nvvn94 Duh, Thumbs up if you knew this song from Battlefield Vietnam

  • @nvvn94 or how about before it was put into any video game

  • im talking to the guy who commented that this song might have been made especially for black ops shut up this song was first whote in 1969 and black ops was made in like 2011.

  • i shall start collectin' ccr piece from now onward... awesome song....

  • I'm pushing 60 and I want whatever Fogarty's taking.

  • WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it.

  • I can't understand a fucking word that this guy is saying. Still an awesome song.

  • Great song for the up and coming war in Lybia...

  • The keys just kill it for me. Otherwise, pretty sweet live performance.

  • johnny depp playin bass

  • Wow ya'll no what you got here from Battlefield anyways so shut the hell up and listen to some good music.

  • this brings back to the 70s and present time i think?

  • I remember this song from Forest Gump, Die Hard 4 and from listening to Dad's old albums. Sure, I'm a COD fan, but I'm not one of those people that goes 'OMG ITZ FRM BLAK OPZ!!!1111'. No, it's one of those songs you've heard a billion times before, but some people only like it when it's in a massive video game or movie. Thumbs up if... No... Wait... That's just as annoying as the COD fanboys...

  • Who ever the 35 fucking fags that disliked this song are, you must be a fucking muslim, Or you are heartless, and have no taste in music. Fuck off.

  • @Timmoization or maybe people like you should shut the fuck up, people have an opinion to not like something. You think you're smart to refer to Muslims? I bet you don't know a thing about Islam, so stop being a retarded American and grow some intelligence

  • KICKASS AS ALWAYS, LOVE CCR

  • This song - and the others of its era - are truly cross-generational. I'm 35, there's lots of music I like from my childhood and adolescence... but I love /this/ era and so does everyone else love it - when John Fogerty was in town, the whole family went - everyone from my grandmother to my youngest cousin, ALL SHARING THE MOMENT, enjoying some truly timeless music. Swing, disco, Cyndi Lauper are all mostly forgotten, CCR and the others will be remembered forever like Beethoven and Mozart!!

  • z28kr...that should be a poster in my room...luv you bro:)

  • John Fogerty is one of the best sounding rock vocalists in history, and he's one of the few singers who sounds as good live on stage as he does in the studio (even 30+ years after his prime, amazingly enough).

  • how about that drum kit! sounds like it could cut through diamonds! so tight!

  • Billy looks good here too

  • old music is so much better than actual music

    it isnt so loud 

  • Not hus best performance+ he messed up one of his best songs. I like the original.

  • GREAT SONG!

  • @spsjsmsuumuga I'm a marine and i like serving but this song is the least patriotic song ever it basically says fuck war im out.... its a draft dodgers song sorry you got the wrong idea and if they hit like they are willing to be the people who fight america's war...

  • @iainkdow point missed

  • @iainkdow So, not supporting war makes you unpatriotic? It's funny because America has never been under threat form anything, yet you insist that you are "fightning for your freedom".

  • I'd prolly get chills if i ever saw them live, playing this song

  • usa....love it or leave it!!!

  • No congressmans son ever fought in vietnam , bushy got the cushy guard job, they were fortunate sons, not me, just a bunch of poor kids fighting for rubber trees and cause they thought there was oil over there. gee sound familiar

  • DRUMMER IS A LEGEND

  • I'm sure this song wasn't written for ignorant tossers to comment 'fuck the war' and similar bollocks. I would personally be pissed if people behaved that way toward I song I had written.

    Yes, he was making an anti-war point. Wow. Now stop posting stupid comments.

  • forest gump, yah

  • Vietnam, fuck to the yes.

  • I keep...keep...keep listening and watching this video all over again...i don't how it mean...only i know it's so nice to hear this rock n roll......

  • 60's AT ITS BEST, AND I HAVE DONE A COVER OF THIS, CHECK IT OUT, I WOULD REALLY APPREIATE IT, JUST GO ON MY CHANNEL AND YOU'L SEE IT

  • well, for one he has lost the great great voice he once had, I mean, time has made his bunch on him..........also, not the original line-up so that's why so many people might give it thumbs down

    pro peace and pro CCR reunion =)

  • This song is the middle finger of Rock 'N' Roll

  • lol, the bass player

  • lol at 1:55 the keyboard guy in the background

  • It ain't me!

  • The fastest 2 and a half minutes of my life

  • BLACK OPS HELL YEAH

  • It aint me BIIIITCH! true rock 'n roll

  • @Z28KR thats fucking retarded, people that post shit like you are fucking posers who think they are cool because they believe they are not conforming to popular music, but who in fact are the biggest crowd followers of all. 92% what the fuck? g.a.l man

  • @PdishmonkeyJJ oGSAFASAFASDGADGADGA PUTO

  • @Z28KR replace Led Zeppelin with CCR, Queen with Jimi Hendrix and AC/DC with Black Sabbath now you have a much better list.

  • @csguden Why replace AC/DC?

  • @Z28KR 95% is the biggest overestimation/overexaggeratio­n of anything anybody could possibly think of.

  • @Z28KR Who are those first people?

  • @Z28KR I only know lady gaga out of your list of "new music" who the fuck are the rest? Scrap that,i couldn't care less who they are?! lol

  • @Z28KR At least when you put those stupid thumbs up, can you put the band that we listen to -_- John Fogerty or CCR in it next time.

  • THE RED WHITE AND BLUE, HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lyrics are as relevant today as they were then.

  • one of the best god damn songs of all time, whoever the 30 are that hate on it are obviously a bunch of techno loving fruit cake fucks.... get at em CCR :D!

  • too fast

  • i know the rules never comment on the like bar and stuff but still i got a question why listen and watch if you dont like it im just askin

  • Was CCR, IS CCR and there is no CCR without John !

  • sounded better when he was young

  • Comment removed

  • 28 people are fortunate sons :P

  • Enda en feita sang fra John!!!!

  • Shut.The.Fuck.Up about any god damn Call of Duty games, it first infected every weapon video on youtube - people actually believe CoD invented the weapons, now it seems to have infected music videos too.. Damn p12s '-.- Maybe Fortunate Son was made especially for Black Ops? Fuck off get a life..

  • @Spyflugan91 I totally agree with you dude, if anything, Black Ops wrecked this song

  • @Spyflugan91

    What's so funny is if most of the COD players heard a real gun they would run like bitches.

  • @Spyflugan91 Chill out dude no one said that Call Of Duty invented Fortunate Son. And I am not one of those people because I like both CCR and Black Op's.

  • @Spyflugan91 that game sucks, its a ripoff for all the little kid's parents who have to buy it, battlefield 3 will kill it, and you wont have to worry, love the original MUCH better but w/e, btw, CoD i dont even think has guns in their game, its like nerf toys, they look nothing like the real ones, they dont pay for copyright so get even more money and the audio makes them sound like a plastic toy, real weapons destroy CoD, and i porved it on a shooting range

  • N cara a muisca fortunate son foi feita em prostesto contra a guerra do vietna e concordo com cara jonh fogerty e um dos melhores vocalistas do rock classico

  • @Spyflugan91 It never was in CoD ... primarly... and the ones who say somethink like those geeks really pisses me of too. =)

  • Since when did Johnny Depp play the bass? :D

    Lol jk. Good song, great singer/guitarist. CCR!

  • black ops

  • @XxMarioniCxX Youre a fucking faggot.

  • what a legend

  • black ops :o

  • Im no American but I do love John and I do love Fortunate Sun. :)

  • @Mii85: Correction: Fortunate Son. Long live John Fogerty.

  • john fogerty for president

  • 27 people are not American

  • @ledzeppelin1311, neither am i, BUT I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!!! CCR ROCKS !!

  • This DVD is a must have --- hardly a week goes by that I'm not playing it --- Fabulous entertainer - great guitar player.... rock on John!

  • @pyrofella great player,writer & singer..oh & performer..unique voice

  • THIS SHOULD GO OUT TO W AND CHENEY AND RUMSFELD AND ALL THE OTHER WAR CRIMINALS MAY GOD GIVE COMFORT TO ALL THE MOTHERS THAT LOST A PERFECT CHILD IN A WAR HE HAD TO HAVE

  • THIS SHOULD GO OUT TO W AND CHENEY AND RUMSFELD AND ALL THE OTHER WAR CRIMINALS

  • aww why did they change it? the old version is way better

  • Hands down, this is the best song from the Vietnam War era. Rock on John!!!!!

  • Rock on John, thanks for helping me fight my own wars!!

  • @iamkloeful take it easy Forest!!! jajajaja

  • Wow hes got quite alot of energy for an old guy, ROCK ON!

  • John Fogerty flat out rocks ! Take lessons young guns in today's music. THIS is how you DO it. Great lyrics from strong vocals backed up by killer musicians. Thanks so much for posting this. My ears should be back to normal in about two weeks.

  • They don't make musicians like they use to. This guy has something alot of them are missing............. balls!!!!!

  • He look REALLY young here, age hasn't hit him much.

  • POWERRRRRRRRRR

  • This man is great.

  • Unfortunately the same holds true for this day in time. What a talented songwriter. I would pay anything to see him live in concert.

  • Good job! :)

  • what's with the gay drum machine sound?

  • guy is gay

  • @suzanne1995 idiot

  • @brade20032000 friend told me watch it sorry if i don't like it

  • crank that fuckin volume!

  • Awesome to hear him belt out the classics.

  • Good grief. Twenty-six people don't like this? Are they Pro-War? Ignorant of who fights America's war? Or do they just not like rock & Roll. This is the greatest anti-war song to come out of Vietnam, and their were a lot of them. And great rock & roll, by one of the greatest American song-writers, ever.

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA Couldn't agree with you more.

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA 29 faggots no doubt

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA I wouldn't call it an 'anti-war song' its much more a song about the people who escaped the draft using family/friends/wealth connections. I would say 'pro fairness'

  • @gold5000000 You're right. But John Fogerty was very much against the Vietnam War when he wrote it. And he's been against the war in Iraq since before the invasion.

    When he played with Springsteen, who also opposed the Iraqi War well before the invasion, at the Vote For Change concerts 04, he played, "Deja Vu All Over Again," and then "Fortunate Son." Opposition to the Iraq War was the issue that all the muscians had in common at these shows.

    I'll stand by: "it's an anti-war song."

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA Perhaps they simply don't like this song. Freedom of speech

  • @wwwonderful I assume their vote of, "dislike," means they don't like the song. I'm not questioning their right to vote. I'm having trouble understanding what about the song they don't like.

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA oops, sorry. There's nothing about the song to dislike. As they say in France, " Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to try to put other people off it"

    :-)

  • @wwwonderful Ah Sarcasm. A tricky beast I've encountered before.

    My wife is an expert. She's been making me think up is down and black is white since before we were married.

    In fact, I was on my last date with her to gently end our relationship when she pulled something out of a bag. Next thing I knew, I was in France, married.

    Years later i found that bag. It was full of Sarcasm.

    Thanks for the laugh.

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA I have the "premonition" album - love it

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA dumbest fucking words I heard "pro-war" are you retard?

    so usa getting into ww2 for ex was pro war?

    mayby hitler should have ruled the world.

    Not everyone who support a war likes the idea of war or try to get around it - you get that?

  • @quezcatol one of the smartest comments ever written,you just took the words out of my mouth lol

  • Comment removed

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA FUCK THE WAR!

  • @CPSJSMSUUMUGA Totaly agree with you.

  • I wouldn't worry about it. These are the same 26 NEOCONS who got pissed at C,S,N &Y singing 'Let's Impeach the President for Life.'

  • Nice!!!

  • Age is not touching him at all ... great performance and voice.

    Last of the real singers......

  • Forrest Gump

    Yeah

  • @StudiosHaloLego Hell yeah

  • @StudiosHaloLego No forest gump, man, thats VIETNAAAM

  • Great, but nothing compared to when he was with CCR.

  • This is clearly the best (John's solo)fortunate son-live version that I have ever heard, Only John's CCR-versions are better, cause CCR...well..it's CCR:D

  • maesto!

  • fantastico....

  • This is my favorite song by fogerty...when it 1st came out,it was about the draft for veitnam,but it fits perfectly with the war in iraq and afganistan.I love how he's still rockin'.The song is timeless.100 thumbs up !!.....I can't understand how 25 people voted the song down.They must be tone deaf,or simpliy retarted.
