  • They're protecting Libya just like the TSA is protecting us in the Homeland.

  • Uh?..what the fuck is he even saying...can't understand......WTH?

  • lol i seen pearl jam on this vote for change tour in asheville north carolina. USA today a picture of the crowd when we was all waiting to go in. it was packed! and political. Someone from a newspaper asked me a question, and i said you need to leave me alone im the only person here that likes bush andim conservative. The whole crowd couldnt of handled me. It was soft lol

  • We played a minimal roll in that revolution. Come on, man.

  • You are so wrong. This is absolutely about the politicians that choose war. It is fashionable to blame private industry. That is not the Masters of War referred to in this song.

  • @spfau1968 i totally agree .. its not about companies ...

  • @nikolawesthemkg What wars hs he started?

  • @69drummerdan Libya ? Buahaha ... Where do u live man ... ???

  • @nikolawesthemkg Do seriously believe that Obama started the conflict in Libya`? It was a revolution man, the libyan people started the rebellion. Then troops from NATO helped joined in and protected the civilians. Obama didn't start anything

  • @venedigerenby Wow you just don't get it do you?

  • @Thyalwaysseek What is it I fail to understand?

  • @venedigerenby By the looks of your comment...quite a bit.

  • @Thyalwaysseek Well, all I am saying is that Obama DID NOT start any sort of conflict in Libya, and I believe that is correct If that's not the case then I am terribly sorry for being an idiot.

  • @venedigerenby you are wrong mate. If u are really interested, u will do a research, and find the truth... In media u will never find truth of any kind... Greetings

  • @venedigerenby you are ignorant !!! War in Lybia was started like any other war America have fought. Because of country resources, and the others shit i have no room to write !!! Same like Iraq, Avganistan, like the part of my country, Kosovo ... Think with your head for a change, fuck the media, look around and see what they are doing !!! Obama is a puppet like any other president after JFK. And here is the funniest shit, guy who wins Nobel peace prize, start a war... Just think.

  • @nikolawesthemkg I agree on your point about the media. And also that wars in Iraq, Afghanistan etc, have been about oil, money, etc and not about bringing democracy. But please, do not call me an ignorant

  • Best version of Eddie doing this one on the

    Net

  • They're ignorant but its never sounded better.

  • @JongyFong Well, the song is a direct reference to the cold war, and I don't think anyone denies the role the weapons industry played in that particular game of chicken.

    And even in a contemporary context, the message is still valid. All of our interventions in the middle east stem from the region's importance to the modern world with all of its oil. Corporations pull strings in the government, and acknowledging that is the exact opposite of ignorance.

  • Can anybody cut the first 15 seconds of that fucking corporate coca-cola drinker troll so that we can truly appreciate this song of truth??? Also check how Eddie tells the troll to "fuck off" behind his shoulder at the end!!! YEAH!!! Piss on your casket!

  • @steelalive2011 Dude, he's always supported PJ, he's a fan. I don't think they would have appeared on his show as many times as they have unless they liked him.

  • @razzberry82 oH LORD! LAUGHTER...COME MY SON! YOU SHOW YOUR RESPECT BY SAYING FUCK YOU BEHIND YOUR FATHER'S SHOULDER, OR RATHER DO YOU LOOK YOUR FATHER IN THE EYES? IN TRUTH I TELL YOU. BLESSINGS FROM THE LAND OF QUEEN MOTHER HELVETIA!!!

  • @steelalive2011 Yeah you have a good day too.. o_O

  • The idiots who flagged this video as rubbish, please, please, please 3X, contact me so I can say FUCK YOU PERSONALLY....Unfortunately it is a youtube robot....

  • Check how he said to the tight ass in his suit fuck you behind his shoulder at the end!!!! Long life to these singing Knights!

  • Politics aside, I think this may be my favorite version of this song. The way the band builds it up and that little bit of strain in Eddie's voice when he screams adds a lot to it.

  • Amazing that this was written in the 60s and it's still just as relavant today as it was back then. Shows the genius of Dylan.

  • I love how whenever i talk to somebody and they start hating on Dylan i go "just listen to Masters of War" and after they listened to it they just have this shame in their eyes for ever talking shit about him, good old times man.

    "And I'll stand o'er your grave

    'Til I'm sure that you're dead"

  • @windisea Ron Paul would be exactly the same as soon as he got into office

  • @destroysubgenres Ron Paul has been consistently against foreign interventionism for 40 years.

  • @windisea Hell yeah!!!! Eddie's always voiced his opinion when it comes to presidential elections. Who does he think should be the next president? I wish we could get more celebrities to stand behind Ron Paul, I mean dammit, he's the only candidate who stands apart from the rest of the Washington fuckers, why don't people see that? Knowing EV and knowing the things he's passionate about, I would like to think he would support RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • Best Band in the World. Thank You Gentlemen.

  • I hate politics but Obama's campaign talked about how Bush was this war-mongerer but Obama turns around and pulls the same crap. All politicians are self serving assholes. The only difference between the parties is what they want but they're all the same.

  • One of the many reasons i've loved this guy ever since it's beacuse he sang out with this uncanny earthly flavor - something a couple of notches above from out of the plain technique - of song-writers such as Mr Bob Dylan..!

  • i hate when musicians make controversial political statements with their songs. you're just going to end up pissing off half the audience

  • @whitedevil2 This song will piss off the dumb half. Fuck 'em.

  • Fantastic cover

  • Lefty, don't beat them up....too much. This says something that we all, who have been, understand. We know what happens up there, and we do what we need to down below...Regardless, my father, who was probably the biggest Bob Dylan fan, and me, who is probably the biggest Pearl Jam fan, we will talk on the horizon......

  • Uncle DICK, Rummy, and Dubya....I know this song was written way back when you were cowardly draft-dodging weasels, but it was written with you pricks in mind.

  • @TheLeftyGrove In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments(5), Cheney reportedly said, "I had other priorities in the '60s than military service." % men died in his weasel ass place. Wish I could get close enough to shoot him in the face "by accident"

  • He has beautiful eyes

  • True when written......true today & always.

  • You might try georgina bush b4 obama, although they all are puppets the "corporate-american" government.

  • This isn't about politicians being masters of war. This is about the private industries that are masters of war. They are silent. They kill without care. They produce the bullets that our guns shoot. they produce the guns. They produce the tanks. They all feed off the government's tit and pray for war because it's good for business. THOSE are the masters of war.

  • @weakmindedidiot I think its not Them or Them, its everybody, some part of everyone's money goes into wars no matter what part of the planet we're living, we are all destroying the earth in some way, we all are the masters of war.

  • @weakmindedidiot Thank you

  • @weakmindedidiot WHO is up-voting this!? "you put a gun in my hand; and hide from my eyes"; "You lie and deceive; A world war can be won"....This ISN'T about politicians? The whole point is that they are the same. "Pray for war"? Your politicians are just your industry's PR representatives. Wake up. I sorry if this is harsh but it is really disappointing to read about this and the fact that it is being up-voted. I was starting to think that people were finally understanding!

  • @weakmindedidiot so wrong

  • Dylan fans upset? CHRIS HOLLY performs "The Times They Are A-Changin" for MICHELE BACHMANN at Town Hall Meeting in SC- A youtube Must SEE!

  • How is Obama a "master of war"?

  • @Mauser91 Libya? For all of Bush's faults, he at least asked Congress for permission. (although he was prompted to do so)

  • @Mauser91 Interveaning in Libya?

  • 0:00 to 0:02

    Eee Yaa, Puh-mm.

  • IM GONNA POST THIS SHIT IN EVERY PEARL JAM VIDEO ON THE FUCKING INTERNETS IM GOING TO SEE EDDIE AND CREW ON CURITIBA FUCK2UH3UH2UH3111!!!!!

  • @Caumzitow The fuck?

  • Whoever voted for "change", haha!

    But really, you know that a band is awesome when the play a cover on a tv show and it sounds like an album quality hit single. Eddie Vedder's voice is incredible.

  • its de fcukers who build de guns, sell de hate and manuplite our world to maxamise confrontation, fear and hate. People like Bush who overtly go out of their way to cause it and Obama who say nothing do nothing and by their inaction and silence also condone it......people who dont understand These words by Bob Dylan understand NOTHING. The 5 permanent members of de UN security Council are also de FIVE BIGGest arms dealers on teh planet. Its all bullshit!

  • the irony is that obama is one of the master of war ...

  • @nikolawesthemkg Yeah but this was done in 2004 for the Bush/Kerry election.

  • @McGolders so .. u want to say he sings for bush election ??? he wanted bush to win ... ?? sry if i missunderstood you ...

  • @nikolawesthemkg Ironic? performed during the Bush era? get a clue

  • @nikolawesthemkg Power corrupts even the best of intentions.

  • @nikolawesthemkg

    what a profound truth

  • @nikolawesthemkg What a moronic thing to say when everyone knows Bush started the illegal war in Iraq. Obama has almost ended the war there, killed Osama Bin Laden(something Bush could never do) & is doing his best to revive an economy that was tanked by Bush. You really don't know shit now do you?

  • @dualityofman999

    Yeah and what about the Pakistan drone strikes that Obama's responsible for? Have you heard anything about those? And the attacks he has going on in Yemen? There's tons of stuff that conveniently gets left out of our nightly news reports.

    Look, I'm not trying to bash Obama, and Bush definitely isn't innocent. All I'm saying is that Obama's hands aren't so clean either.

    As for the economy, both the left and the right are failing - miserably. I think we can all agree on that.

  • @dualityofman999 you are stupid and brainwashed ... turn arround and try to think with your own head .... Btw, one question ... what about Obama and Lybia ??? I guess you are the one who dont' know shit now ...

  • @nikolawesthemkg Lybia is a coalition by the United Nations to replace Gaddafi because different countries have oil contracts there which have been put in jeopardy by him. It is not a go it alone stragedy such as Bush's decision to steal Iraq's oil, a country that we had zero oil contracts with.

  • @dualityofman999 spare me plz ... its like Iraq, and even worse ... cause in Lybia, u have free medical care, free education ( even educations abroad is payed by the goverment ), so u have no "bad dictator" sindrom in Libya . Just remember this ... EVERYTHING IN U.S.A, ABOUT THE GOVERMENT AND THE WHITE HOUSE, AND KONGRES, IS PLANED 3,4 YEARDS AHEAD, BY THE SOMEWHONE BEHIND THE COURTAIN ( READ BILDERBERG GROUP, RICH BANKARS AND ALL THE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO HOLD THIS WORLD IN THEIR POCKET )

  • @nikolawesthemkg So if Obama cured cancer you would find a way to bitch about it right? I have a feeling that you align yourself with the most destructive movement in the United States. A party that is nothing more than a GREEDY, FASCIST, POISONOUS band of RASCISTS poised for the destruction of middle class America. All the religion, guns, gold, bottled water & canned goods won't save you.

  • @dualityofman999 i must say that u are so dumb that i wont continue this conversation ...

  • @nikolawesthemkg ....... Obama is a war monster !!!

  • @nikolawesthemkg Obama is a puppet...Imagine the changes we would have seen if we had elected Dennis Kucinich....Fools....Live the only life you are getting; all this bloody shite will hit the fan without us. I remember people talking about moving to the country b/c shite would rain upon us like a Reign of Terror....This Occupy stuff...all of it...

    ~~It is just business....business as usual... :(

  • @nikolawesthemkg

    ~~War is Big Business....America is just waking up....

    ~~I focus on the Children. They deserve better. Each generation keeps forgetting about the children and the future...Business. It is just business, America. You are waking up to what so many people saw long ago.

    ~~Cynthia Rose Gimbrone~~

  • @nikolawesthemkg you really think the president is the reason this country is in the shitter? you really think the president has a lot of power? i really hope you don't and if you do get educated on politics. democrate, republican it doesn't make a bit of difference.

  • @budsAok420 ofc president is a puppet ... but dont think that he doesnt know that ... he still have power, its all planed a long before this happened... he still does terrible shit because somewhone tells him to ... and if that is so, he than has no conscience, and for that, he will never be a man, or a person worthy talking of ... he is a Master of War

  • @nikolawesthemkg fair enough

  • @nikolawesthemkg Dont you mean Bush?

  • @69drummerdan no, i don't ... Bush was, Obama is ...

  • This was great political protest for, things goin on in the world, they could have played anything, but their choice fell on a old protest song from Dylan. Words well spoken!

  • Comment removed

  • Find here your functional gear, grind, unwind, veer and steer, steep, 9 feet deep, into the ground, without a historical bleep, as they ready their fix. Green liquidated blood being mainlined the black oil, as you toil and boil, on foreign soil...

  • is your money that goowwd?

  • Comment removed

  • It's really scary how relevant this song is.

  • @ilovegnomeland we aren't at war in yemen. You are correct about the other countries though

  • gostei ;)

    

  • SOMEBODY has to make this Bob Dylan song heard now--2011

  • LMAO @ the vote for change tour. Obama is proving himself to be the leading master of war.

  • @eiwaz you DO realize this was from like 2006 eh?

    atta be

  • @12321Walrus Yes, and your point is???

  • Very fitting, now that we're in 4 wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, AND Yemen).

  • Whats the CD's name again?

    Didn't catch it.

  • @redswolf He never threw it

  • @2000Bellerophon I meant the Cd about 9/11 that features this song... don't be a dumbass...

  • love dylans lyrics

  • Masters of War work at McDonalds

  • people should open their eyes about the fact that politics don't matter because they're all in on it together. illuminati. we're all just pawns, in a game we can't see. everyone's waiting to be saved, by those that mean to destroy

  • Masters Of War = Illuminati

  • @brendonml if youre just new to the illuminati then please go to my channel and check out my favorite videos then click on bill cooper - mystery babylon, and listen to all the videos.. its VERY interesting.. peace

  • I don't agree with Dylan on politics but he made some awesome music! and Pearl Jam really did a great job on making this one bad ass song! Our military is kick ass!

  • You guys, I found this new artist that I'd put on par with Dylan - that's says a LOT! Check out the lyrical poetry and TRUTH!:

    "Capitalize and thrive by wile and guile while you contrive and devise crime and vice"

    "Bleed the weak up to the knee so deep to feed your greed"

    The acoustic guitar work is definitely beyond Dylan - which I really like.

    I've been a Dylan fan for years, I think any fan would love thisguy, it's a must! - Bob Dylan would dig it! (imho) :) /watch?v=bnF0kz2uonw

  • is this on itunes?

  • nice try

    it's allright but its not close to dylan's

  • Anyone who thinks this is about politicians, generals, and soldiers isn't paying attention.

  • @JohnnyWishbone85 I think you're looking too deeply into this song. I mean, whatever works for you, but I'm pretty sure Dylan intended this to be one of his more explicitly obvious protest songs

  • I was going to comment, but somehow Pearl Jams music caused a fight below.  I did't think music was supposed to do that.

  • to be honest at the end of the day i'm kind of thankful for the masters of war.. they got osama

    sometimes you need a bulldog

  • Comment removed

  • @kemchobhenchod what you're not seeing is that those Masters of War were the ones that created Osama in the first place... that's what really fucked up!

  • its so hard to find in the fucking youtube the original song from bob dylan

  • @GUEDES651 yeah same here with this and other million songs , fucking youtube

  • Words and lyrics from the master a million years can pass and people will isten to this and think..... shit whoever wrote that knew what was whatting :(

  • Where have Pearl Jam been while Obama bombed Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, invaded and is now dividing Sudan, sent the CIA into Tunis, Egypt, Libya and then invaded Libya with missiles and now ground troops? Silent like the lying so called anti-war liberals who were silent when Clinton bombed Iraq and Serbia. There were no mass graves in Serbia nor was Milosevic a mass murderer, the US were just liars as usual. The neo-liberals are a bunch of scum.

  • @ColtraneTaylor ,,,,,Remember -

  • @ColtraneTaylor you are a true believer in TRUTH...right on!

  • @ColtraneTaylor Do you even know why we went to Lybia? The Lybian government was gunning down protesters with helicopter gunships. Obama didn't invade Iraq or Afghanistan Bush did. We now know why he had the CIA there. It was to get Osama Bin Ladens ass. Its uninformed morons like yourself that stir up the shit. Where do you get your facts, your ass?

  • @brewerbrian420 I'm sorry but you are the blinded propaganda fed buffoon. There are so many gaps in that US Western media rubbish you just posted but I am not here to educate you. But you have proven yourself to be the idiot. You LIAR. You CHOSE to buy into those lies which are easily dispelled. Now stop insulting my intelligence and fuck off.

  • @ColtraneTaylor Nice your a conspiracy theorist. I can't insult your intelligence when you have none. George Bush invaded Iraq on March 20th, 2003 and Afghanistan on Oct. 7th, 2001. Now correct me if I am wrong here but wasn't Obama sworn into office on Jan 20th, 2009. With just a little math you can tell, thats eight years after the invasion of Afghanistan and 6 years after the Invasion of Iraq. So what know your saying Obama stole Doc Browns Delorean. I guess that explains the Lybians huh.

  • @brewerbrian420 No, I'm not a theorist of any kind. You are a fool, a cheap reductionist like your ignorant fellow citizens, and you will die in your ignorance. Literally because that's what American policies will achieve.

  • @ColtraneTaylor Oh I see now. I seem to have pissed you off because all your doing is spitting profanity at me instead of clearing up why and how you came to your ridiculous conclusion. I mean come on! The dog that barks the loudest is usually the bitch of the bunch. So you wanna clear some shit up or continue to look like a fucking moron. The path is yours to choose now son, so choose it wisely.

  • @brewerbrian420 "The dog that barks the loudest is usually the bitch of the bunch."

  • @ColtraneTaylor Great you used my quote to try and insult me. So your both retarded and unoriginal. Still waiting on the your answer.

  • @brewerbrian420 You're wasting your time. I'm not sure if the internet has made all these people nuts or just given them voice. To paraphrase a famous songwriter, it's a wonder that they still know how to breathe.

  • @bwelc00 Its not a waste if at least one person comes to the same conclusions as myself. Thank you.  And your right imbeciles abound on the web.

  • How fitting that Pearl Jam supported Obama by singing Masters of War. They were blind to see what he was about but chose the right song anyway.

  • @ColtraneTaylor John Kerry ran in 2004, not Obama.

  • Amazing Lyrics

  • funny. their performing on a corporation platform. the very corporation that are talked about in this song. ; )

  • @1111BLAKE1111 It just proves this is nothing more than an exercise to show that free speech is (still) alive, some americans will be fooled, but the ones who know what's going on in the world today and know hwo's fault it is can see right through it....

  • eddie for king.

  • Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder singt Masters Of War von Bob Dylan (1963). Die ewige Hymne gegen alle Kriegstreiber und - im Sinne der heutigen Korrektheit Kriegstreiberinnen. Eines der besten Dylan-Cover überhaupt.

  • This Shit's Got To Go! Not Pearl Jam, I mean the system! Watch Zeitgeist: Addendum or Moving Forward.

  • @brendonml careful that may just be what the NWO wants......... who will control that system !? funny how they never talk about that. Is that not an issue for you ? who controls your lfie ? what you can and can't do !?

  • @manelmariarodrigues there isnt any money in TZM, nor will a few people own all the land, so no the NWO doesnt want it or it would be mainstream by now.

  • @brendonml if there is no money, the people who control the infra structure will have the power over others then.... I mena, at least ponder that, it's basic textbook stuff I would assume

  • don't get me wrong. I agree with most of what jaques and Peter say, it makes total sense. But if they want to dupe they can. Think like in the last 500 years of human "evolution"

  • @manelmariarodrigues well its not about Peter or Jacques, its about you, me and everyone else. Its the same as open source software for example, where everyone adds their bit. Without money, they couldnt control the infrastructure, you need an army to do that, who will be paying the soldiers? Right now they dont need an army to control everything, the world is controlled via economics. A NWO will come into effect in this current system, it nearly is 'complete' already. But its good to ask.

  • Damn...

  • This is why i like pearl jam when they do covers they don't completely redo the song they keep it the way it should be while still making it there own and do an awesome job on it.

  • @bdylanfan90 Agreed!

  • @bdylanfan90

    so true. you always feel their deep respect for the originals. 

  • says "I just want you to know I can see through your masks." The original lyrics "I just *don't* want you to know.", etc. At least there's something half decent to listen to in lieu of no Dylan version on YouTube, but without lyrical clarity, it doesn't necessarily live up to proper portrayal, especially with a song and artist like this.

  • very deep,full of anger support our country

  • very deep,full of anger

  • nice version but we need bobby doing it, but really, this version is way better than nice. I just love that they did it, and did it so absolute, maybe a younger generation will listen to it

  • Not bad but Dylan's original is a lot more memorable.

  • ok i told myself i would never comment about justin bieber but what the fuck is the big deal with that little shit. i dont want to hear about him when im trying to watch in my opinion one of the greatest bands covering some of the best lyrics ever written!! not a big fan of bieber but theres alot worse shit out there. i think i hate you fuckin idiots who keep bitchin about him more than i hate him

  • killuminati 

  • Classic! Vedder is an icon!

    And fuck Obama and his drone attacks in the Middle East!

  • @AndrewMann552 You forgot to put President Bush in your statement.

  • @T21V Except Bush isn't president anymore, Obama is and he's keeping the guy's war policies in place. Bush isn't bombing Pakistan, Afghanistan and Libya right now.

  • @AndrewMann552 Wasn't putting your view down, just saying President Bush was in office at this time when Pearl Jam played the cover. I agree with you that President Obama is carrying on the previous administration's policies or it seems that way, somthing that I didn't vote for. President Obama needs to step up to the plate. Anyway Vedder is a great artist doing a great cover by Bob Dlyan. This song will last for ever and can be used in any time.

  • 4:30 - "Thank you, Eddie" - Indeed :)

  • Love this version. Really i do. And i love pearl jam. Not a fan of Justin Beiber AT ALL, but get over it guys. There will always be great music out there. Just gotta look for it.

  • 1st of March is Justin Bieber birthday. This little roach has infected the whole world. Because of him,music is ruined.So on his birthday, we will go to his Baby official video and push the 'dislike' button so that the 'dislike' bar becomes 10 times bigger than the 'like' bar.If you are a bieber-hater, join with me and thumbs up me, copy-paste this message to all videos. We have two months to post this video and exterminate this little cockroach vote this 1 up

  • @BadassMo0ze If you think he's what ruined music, then you're so fuckin far out of your element.

  • @LanceUppercut1234 True..... You got me.

  • Even Jesus will Never Forgive what You do!!!

  • He is so god damn sexy.

  • Russell Crowe on Vocals LOL  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • uma das melhores bandas de rock dos últimos tempos.

  • Torrance Memorial Hospital (secret air halo implant room) abdcuts babies , has them appraise a bunch of houses then buries them in the MUD (Mutallly Undersireable Destruction) Palos verdes

  • what a voice.

  • @wylmau Eddie Vedder rocks, and your a cocksucking dingleberry eatin douchebag

  • @Theskaterseth haha, perfect sentiment from a vagina that like pearl jam ;)

  • I like to put this song on every morning because it makes me angry for the day ahead.

  • kgnkjbweb jnwer;bknr;gkj

    sorry i was just wiping the jizz off my keyboard!!

  • Eddie and PJ just do the best covers be it Phil Ochs .. or Frank J Wilson Last Kiss or Eddie Holland Leavin Here.

  • "You hide in white mansions, while young peoples blood, flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud..." don't forget people, all the money you earned will never buy back your soul...they say behind every great fortune is a great crime...imagine how many millionaires there will be in ten years!
