The Smiths - Meat Is Murder (Live)

[pabsensi]

this song made me vegetarian.

[InvadedDub]

wishh i was alive when the smiths were aboutt!!

[XpLdR]

Haha, seems like vegetarians in here are more narrow-minded than a dictator. Congrats, it ain't an easy performance you do.

[sickolinokio]

long live marr

[PinkSmarties72]

Best audience to preach to is the the "Spanish" Disgusting race of Animal abusers!

[vegigirl100]

Read closely all cowardly, animal-loathing, knuckle-scrapers! Meat IS murder. Morrissey is right.There is no excuse. Admit it- you can't give up the taste and need to justify it in any way possible. Meat's bad for the earth, health, and animal welfare. We save more plants by being vegetarian so that argument is invalid. We feed most of the grains to livestock not people. If you want to keep cardiologists and oncologists in business, go ahead and eat meat and dairy- it's your dead carcass!

[skouf007]

any person that has meat in the fridge has no right to own this album!

[dan7546]

i eat meat and i love this song ..i think for myself

[iKillPixls]

@dan7546 cunt

[madcapoperator]

If there is one song i completely disagree with morrissey on its this. Now, im off to mcDonalds, keep your moral highground in your pockets ;)

[Jobyperry]

Because of this song

and the documentary Earthlings I became Vegetarian

=)

<3

[tylenol2k7]

God morrissey is arguably the best live singer I've ever head.

[DesperatelyKind]

This song is incredible. Seeing it live was intense, amazing. The red lights... love love love it. Morrissey forever.

[Exhibitionismist]

This song turned me into a vegitarian.

[NicktheBarber31]

wow someone really cleaned up this footage it looks and sounds so much better!

[GambiniUK]

It was shown on sat tv a couple of years back.. All the other versions were from old VHS recordings.

[Elcore]

Song always makes me killer hungry.

Guess I'd better go fell a rainforest full of animals to make way for my yummy vegetarian banana crop!

[Leitmotivation]

ANIMAL LIBERATION NOW ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[Mecklce]

Actually, no. Why would I not eat animals? Animals eat other animals. It's all the same.

[Leitmotivation]

No, it's not the same. Human beeings are able to decide... animals not. And in fact eating meat is responsible for 65% of the deadly illnesses in the western civilization.

You would not like to get killed as well, right?

[Mecklce]

Yes it is. Human beings are animals. We work the same way they do. We are omnivores. We eat both plants and flesh. The stuff that will make you bad when eating meat isn't because of meat itself, it's because of all the hormones and shit the German and American cunts inject into their animals.

Also, why do all vegetarians and vegans come with statements that can't really be backed up by any facts?

[Leitmotivation]

Right, we are omnivores! So why should we kill animals when we are able to eat other things as well (which are in fact much healthier)?

Cause of the taste? The taste of murder!

Again: animals can't decide. In nature one animal eats the other to keep it in some kinda balance! Whats the reason WE do it?

How much food and water is needed to get 1kg meat? (explain it Africa!)

How much CO2 is produced by cows? (more than by all cars in the world!)

Meat is murder, and not only animals are the victims!

[Mecklce]

You obviously don't know what an omnivore is. An omnivore eats both meat and vegetables. I eat vegetables since they are indeed a part of what a human should eat. But so is meat. Vegetables, for example, lack protein. Exept for some nasty beans and shit, but still.

[Leitmotivation]

Of course I do. We do not need meat to stay healthy. You just eat meat cause you eat meat... Who tells you that you have to do so??? It just means that your organism is able to work with meat and with non-meat-food. You are not controlled by your sexual instinct like this as well, right? In fact there is no meat instinct or something like that! No reasons to eat meat, to kill animals. But many reasons to break this silly habit.

[Mecklce]

There is a meat instinct. I am made to eat meat. Therefore, I eat meat. The part about eating vegetabilic food isn't really what we're based on anyways. We are derived from monkeys who ate fruits, not vegetables.

[Leitmotivation]

"There is a meat instinct."

No, there is no meat instinct.

"I am made to eat meat."

That's really stupid!

[Mecklce]

Not really. It's nature, dumbass. It's like trying to get a lion to eat tofu. Fuckin' ridiculous.

[Leitmotivation]

No, it is not. We do not need meat. We can decide, animals can't. There is nothing, that drives us to eat meat! You decide to got to the supermarket and buy the pieces of carcasses!

Nature? Great criterion! It is nature to kill members of the own species as well, isn't it? Also okay? :D

We have morals, we have ethics! (a lion doesn't, dumbass!) But you do not even have much brain it seems to me...

[Mecklce]

So you are claiming that animals are inferior to us? Sounds quite okay eating something inferior without feelings.

[Leitmotivation]

Did I say they do not have feelings?

And now shut up, your a waste of time...

But the last word be yours! ;-)

[wowthatspeng]

@Mecklce Don't rant about nature and what people are 'made to do' when you're on a computer.

[wowthatspeng]

@Mecklce "Exept for some nasty beans" so you've just proved your earlier statement wrong. Most people would rather eat "nasty" beans than kill someone. You'd probably rather eat a certain food you didn't like to save an animal if you actually cared about the animal - you'd rather eat frozen peas than have your best friend's dog be killed in the same way farm animals are killed.

The difference between you and vegetarians is that their compassion extends to animals other than humans and pets.

[rostomat]

Mordsmäßig geiles Lied!

[123PullOut321]

love this song.

But I really hate it when people preach their opinions on how being anything but vegetarian or vegan is evil. It's good here because it's Morissey's band and he's singing about something he's passionate about.

[mcjprr]

I love this song so much! And the fact that it made so many people become vegitarians could only be a good thing. I've been a vegitarian since i was 8, i'm now 16, you do the maths :P not because of this song.. but yeh.. really can't express my love for this song, and every other one of their songs for that matter :) Cheers for this superb video :D

[Leitmotivation]

Strange opinion to think that killing is okay...

it's not a matter of opinion! It's simply wrong.

[mcjprr]

why did you reply to me saying that? i did not say killing was okay :S

[Leitmotivation]

Hmm, sorry, I did not mean you, I meant 123 PullOut321...

Your opinion is best! :-)

[mcjprr]

Oh i see, sorry :P

Thank you aha

[FaroRio]

vegan since 2007

[OCVegan]

Amazing. I wish I got this message in 1985. Too bad it took 9 more years of animals suffering and dying before I went vegan.

[FriedGold8942]

I like the tune, and I respect the fact that Morrissey is ditching his usual moping, yet witty and ironic musings for a no-bullshit attack on the meat industry. But I don't feel any need to turn vegetarian because of the lyrics. If anyone considers me a murderer for not being shamed into becoming a vegetarian by this song, so be it. I'm going to hell anyway for unrelated reasons, so converting won't save me in the slightest.

And this is a very good quality video, btw. Good job.

[ericambrosecoon]

hell is about as real as your necessity of meat.

[scooterboysteve]

the song is beautiful and haunting.the smiths are gods..but it hasn't turned me off meat.

[ericambrosecoon]

watch the documentary entitled "earthlings", that may do it.

[MlleMalone]

morrissey is the best. This song is fantastic. Meat is fucking murder.

Go veg!!!!!!!

[Monkstagg]

is this some "ive been a vegetarian longer than you contest"?

im not a veggie and love eating meat, however i also love this song.

[zoff666517]

im a vegetarian since some guy came to my house and killed my pet goat.

i hate that guy.

they made birria with it

[silversanna]

I'm a vegetarian too and this is the first time i heard this song..Very good!!!!

[MarkDunck]

I have been a Vegetarian since 1987, when I got food poisoning from meat!!!!. I love this song as I am now an animal activist.

[lifeanddeath234]

I'm a vegetarian. Since 4/20/09

[andycorreia]

Thanks Smiths for saying it as it is.

Many people have turned vegan because of this song, so when someone says that it is useless rant I happily dismiss that.

This song has saved millions of lives and will save many more..

[agnosticangel1]

such an amazing voice..

it makes me dislike meat more than I did before

[scgeeter]

my hero

[dexagenta]

YeAhhhhhhh!!!

[phoenixbird18]

I've been a vegetarian since '98. I just heard this song for the first time last week. It's awesome.

[katelove70]

This is the song that made me a vegetarian years ago. 1988.

[Penn666]

I love the passion in his voice
