  • Really good song, but could you tell me, WHAT THE FUCK does this song have to do with the video? I'm tired of watching videos with footages of the most dark episodes of the history of human kind. Even though, I'm not going to give this vid a thumbs down... Because I could make an analysis and say that "be a simple man" not like these assholes.

  • @thesantiso BECAUSE PEOPLE FORGET TOO MUCH ABOUT HISTORY, WW1, WW2, COLD WAR, VIETNAM,

    911, PEOPLE FORGET ALL ABOUT THAT STUFF, IF IT WERE UP TO ME EVERY ONE WOULD SEE THIS EVERY DAY< SO SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • two words... FUCKING AWSOME

  • i just got off worked and finally got to smoke this joint ive been waitin for all day...

    everybody my age likes this rap shit but they dont understand...

    they dont understand

  • Very powerful and well done with your images. I have a young son, this is powerful for me.

  • my favorite song ever...plus the best tribute for the troops i have ever seen

  • my favorite song ever...i love you, lynyrd skynyrd...not kidding...i've got all of your song

  • I have to say that your video touched me and made a song that I love even more powerful. If that is possible....I hadn't thought so until I saw your video. You should really think about making more videos.

  • Comment removed

  • I loved the video, I posted it on Facebook, this was the song on my sons cd...and this makes it even more!

  • my god great songs thanks for posting :=)

  • This video just shows that no matter how nicely politicians show war to the masses their is always the reality of it which is that their are always enormous casualties on all sides this video shows that well. The 9/11 clips at the end are really moving. Great video, great song.

  • For $.

  • wow that camera man at the end got screwed :(

  • Awesome job on the video, really fits the song. Cheers!

  • Fuckin Natiz's

  • le immagini delle torri gemelle ancora oggi mi fanno venire i brividi.,...

  • i'm a grown up !

  • The end is just fucking WOW.Crazy shit.....

  • Love the song, really like the video with the exception of the animation section. It is a grim reminder that man is it's worst enemy!

    William Shakespeare was right about more than one thing he wrote but especially "Safety is mortals chiefest enemy!" These images prove that!!!!!

  • hellowelcomeplueplanetonemoonl­etsdothisexterzizeclintionsnow­69=8

  • @johnjosephpeterjr666 thankyou=69eaqules8

  • WHOEVER PUT THIS MUSIC TO THIS BS, SHOULD BE TIED TO A TREE, LEFT TO WROT, AND WAIT FOR THE SNAKES, THE ALLIGATORS, AND THE BUGS TO. DO THE REST. DON'T TIE GOOD MUSIC TOO STUPID INSANITTY

  • @rmmspringfield - Hey, I just found your 1st posting on this thread & oddly enough we are in agreement to some extent. Even though I can't condone torturing the poster of this vid, I concur that the imagery isn't a match for this song IMHO.

    -

    One year ago, I posted, "Simply put the video has no relevance to the song." and "Posting this vid with this song is bizarre". My old posts are currently on page 11.

    -

    So, even though you called me a dickhead, we do have some agreement on other points.

  • i put this song to my future sons

  • I Love This Song But Not This Version, I Know Its The Original, But In My Opinion Shinedown Version Is Better. Dont Be Offended Or Rude Cause Its Just An Opinion. As They Say, You Cant Beat The Original, But In My Mind You Can.

  • @Parodyfan258 What?! I'm totally offended!!! :P lol. Shinedown's version is alright, but i like the original more than theirs. Shine's lead singer "over-sings" it, imo.

  • @bryk90 obamayouarenextrussia666nucula­r616nucularatrocketmaildotcome­aqules69eaqules8

  • kerosene sure burns hot these days oh by the way for all of you that don't know what (jet fuel) is it's kerosene

  • great song

  • Essa musica faz perder o folego...

  • I'm going to cry when I see this live. Amazing.

  • Lynard Skynard is the s**t!

  • strong

    

  • why did they have WWI Pics in here??

  • this goes out to my son now 15, god bless the sons of this world

  • i loved the way you ended the song by blending it into that clip.

  • what the fuck just enjoy the music your all so fucking sad in years to come this will be a forgotton song & we all be dead GET A LIFE while your still alive

  • @richdyas songs like this are never forgotten.

  • @richdyas great music is never forgotten.that is why when you reach our age, your music of today will be nothing but a footnote. great groups are VERY few in number now. it has all become about the money instead of love of the music

  • great post! Open your eyes America, for we too have to rise again! I'm proud to be an American!!, can we please unite for a cause other than ourselves? For we to can stil be righteous and just, n LOVE thy neighbor?

  • i just wish people would stop fighting and ask for the things they feel they need then could we have peace rule the world this song just brings me to tears everytime

  • Such a good song

  • Poignant....

  • very well put toghether .... great song ....

  • u da man! always loved this song

  • Let the Skynyrd Nation live on!

  • BRADLEY...Thats The Shit...Rock On.

  • TO MY SON BRADLEY MOM LOVES YOU

  • I'm not really a simple man

  • i would like to have the lyrics couse im not good enought at english

  • WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU IN AMIGO?

  • @fredenski38 SPAIN

  • kurti's an idiot

  • AMAZING VIDEO!

  • the thing is there is somebody out there saying stop its the Canadian army whe'r not so much as an arm force more as peace keepers. and yah this is lynyrd skynyrd you can tell by the voice mostly

  • lynyrd skynyrd died in 1977

  • skynard will never die

  • Well between JimSaxton and Tommy1977777-what esle is there really to say.Live by the words of this song and realize that were killing theirs and their killing ours and 5000+soldiers lives later were sending more.There has to be someone out there to just stand up and say E+N+O+U+G+H...

  • this veterans day remember the clips from these videos. very often when we vote becuase we fail to think through the consequences when we cast a vote for something or someone. The people who very often have to pay that price are the very best among us. This view will undoubtedly garnder much negative commentary and i dont care. im tired of seeingmy friends killed in action by people who are sending us off to fight then forgetting about us when the fighting drags on.

  • <--- iraq vet, well said bro

  • @Tommy1977777 Voting means nothing.....

  • @Tommy1977777 god bless all our troops that have fallen for their country believeing in doing the rite thing i say this song is a fitting tribute to them god bless.

  • Wow it even says on the fucking pop up for when the song starts that its by lynyrd wtf? Dumbfucks.

  • If it's not lynyrd skynyrd, what than?

  • yea it is sorry for you

  • you're an idiot, it's Lynyrd Skynyrd.

  • Gran canzone...veramente...

  • Nuclear Bomb!!!!

  • i like the video

    goes good with song

  • Great movie... well done.

  • qm olha assim

    acha q o atentado terrorista nos EUA

    foi pior que a Bomba de Hiroshima e Nagasaki, complicado em saber qm sao os verdadeiros terroristas.

    mas a musica é perfeita *-*

  • Simply the best. I thought the ending was sad.

  • They played this song at my uncle funeral.

    I love this song. It means so much to me.

    R.I.P Terry Ray Shirah..

  • and I got the notice about my dad´s death at the same time that I was watching this video =/

  • This music rocks so much! TY...

    Nice vid! =D

  • What a great song. Nothing else to say!

  • this song is the best song of theirs!even though there is very little band members left they still kick ass!may all the passed away members from the plane crash and billy powel rest in peace(:

  • i dedacte this song to my mother-in-law and husband J.W.W i love you baby and always will ur mom is the best and i love her

  • scalesr4 i agree totaly

  • Skynyrd Own!

  • damn right ;)

  • This song is about a life philosophy a mother want's to give to her only son! Politics is a form of philosophy and maybe the message is keep things simple as far values,ethics and morality.

    Yet I could be reading more into it than was meant!

  • ce son toute les ereur humaine ...=(

  • mike thomas brown....world champion...should move up to 155 and fight BJ

  • one of the best videos i have ever seen on youtube.

  • Oh Fuck the beatles, this is Simple Man we're talking about right here and now

  • Holy christ, that was the first time I've ever seen the actual Kennedy assasination video, or the plane hitting the towers, or the cameraman running video. It's amazing how much is wrong with the world.

  • So much wrong in the world.. the only thing that gets us through it.. is when we make the choice to see the "right" in the world. :) It works..

  • The origal singer with the original band, are twice the legend MJ is.. but the beatles and john lennon were the greatest.

  • BTW, I probably disagree with your overall stance--maybe not--but you still did a good job.....

  • Finally, someone who can think. Jim, nice job here...

  • I love the world war one videos, it's hard to believe all of those young men are dead.

  • this band will never be the same after that plane crash

  • The band became prominent in the Southern United States in 1973, and rose to worldwide recognition before several members, including lead vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, died in an airplane crash in 1977. The band reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Ronnie's younger brother Johnny Van Zant as the frontman, and continues to record music today. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006.

    the band is still active. just with different people.

  • i cant beleive watching the plane crash into one of the twin towers like that its unbeleivable how people are so cruel

  • It is to remember. otherwise poeple get compalcient.

  • Great song not the best video for it tho

  • the world is sometimes a cruel place...fights wars hate no peace

  • FUCK hitler.....and FUCK all of the terrorists in this world.....Lynard Skynyrd fucking rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that would be awesome when they carry my body to the grave all the sudden simple man starts to play

  • AMEN.

  • i fucking love this song i want this song to play at my death bed

  • Comment removed

  • Best song ever made. It's not so much the music, but the point of it. It makes a lot of sense. So does the video, 5/5, and subscribed.

  • if anyone wants to learn the solo of skynyrds simple man i play it realy slow so that you can learn it

  • Cool vid.. whoop ass take names!!

  • i think chief chavez missed the whole song / vid / concept......

  • Comment removed

  • i get high to this song every time i here et

  • love this song

  • this is my favorite skynyrd song

  • The world would be this the world would be that.. The world was is and will be what it can! So quit making up utopian scenarios and be all you can be. Simple

  • great vid to song! fits on many levels i feel

  • i like the video...

  • wow thats such a wierd video!!!!!!

  • JimSaxton, who posted this video anticipated "the inevitable political debate". Well, not so inevitable; this is not a political song, nor was the imagery of the video. War footage, A-Bomb testing, 9/11, etc. all beyond political.

    Simply put the video has no relevance to the song. Odd that JimSaxton thought that he would inspire some bizarre "debate". Posting this vid with this song is the only thing that is bizarre.

  • It's not so much that I'd "inspire" one, it was more a precaution, can't blame me really, everyone likes to take a pop when they can, especially when 9/11 is shown!

    Also there's nothing bizarre about posting the video with the song, as I think all music is open to individual interpretation. Cheers for the analysis though!

  • war is not politics? fight doesnt know what he is talking about either it seems...hm. and this song/vid go together perfectly I think. Shows you the OPPOSITE of the simple kind of man the song describes. Not that hard to figure out.

  • @FightBadBehavior i think it was great.. u need to shut the hell up an don't say nothin unless you know what your talking about

  • @boogerdenboy - right back at you, little punk, with your own words, "u need to shut the hell up an don't say nothin unless you know what your talking about"

  • @FightBadBehavior SO, you are just another dickhead looking to stir up bullshit. Come to where the people are "simple". Raise our own, freeze our own, can our own

  • @rmmspringfield - Oh, Yawn........ not stirring anything, however your comment was pretty inane & can make someone nod off. yawn..........

    -

    Oh, and allow me to extend an invitation for YOU to "Come to where the people are "simple". Raise our own, freeze our own, can our own" And after your visit is over, you'll realize just how inane your comment was.

    -

    Why are we comparing simple lifestyles with one another? You've lost me; inane (not simple) is the only word for you.

  • my mom wats me to play this @ her funeral.

  • Mine too!

    God bless.

  • nize. right bak @ ya.

  • dammm the jfk part is fuked up wooo

  • this is such a beautiful song it makes me feel so much better

  • My dad played this at his moms funeral. He was her only son. So this is my favorite song it touches me.

  • One of the greatest songs ever.

  • oh my gosh! I love this song!

  • Will ever be my fave song !!! Love it !

  • if i ever have a kid im fukin RAISING THEM ON ROCK AND ROLL!!

  • i love this song

  • Entropy!? Sadism!? Domination!? Ignorance!? Greed!? Lies!? Bullshit!? Control!? Fear!? You choose. The human psyche can be so fucked sometimes. If you forget the mistakes/events of the past, you are doomed to repeat them in the future. Ignorance is bliss?!?!?! Ha! Ignorance will be the fall of man. Cause and effect. What happened to just being a simple kind of man!?

  • Fuck It And Drive On...

  • that being the TRUE meaning of the song... damn i hate ignorant people

  • lol

  • "This song is about a mother giving advice to her son about life. She can see things on the long run, and she wants to give her son advice as he is going out in the world to fully experience it. She wants him to get the message as she knows she will not be around forever. So, she wants him to understand life better. She knows he does not need the advice now, but she knows he will need it someday, and he might not reach for her, so she is telling him now."

  • I LOVE YOU!!!

  • more like great song,great stuff, shitty vid.? the video hasn't ANYTHING to do with what the song is trying to tell you.... the song isn't about world peace... but simply how to lead your life the simplest and most prductive way you can... maybe you should try listening to the song more clearly.. shit... it's actually trying to tell you somthing but all u wanna do is watch the fukken video which has NOTHING to do with the song... wow...

  • so true Dice, lol I agree with "ChrisBar19 " too, world could and will get simpler like that, no need for war, greed, politics.. nothing @ all..

  • Actually, this video is has a lot to do with the song. Basically what the person who made the video is trying to show people is that if every one took the advice in the song, a lot of the things in the video wouldn't have happened. If people didn't lust for money, want for power, or hate other people the world would be better.

  • Great song, great stuff, very good vid !!!

  • If the mastery that goes behind building all of those awful WMD's would be used to create medicines and develop methods to stop hunger, this world would just be a complete paradise!

  • if everyone smoked dope the world would be a better place

  • happy 420 smokestar

  • YUP

  • did any one know they wer killed in a plane crash ?
