Eskimo Joe - "Black Fingernails, Red Wine"

[btheking4]

Is it just me or do the people that visit this video have some kind of racial issues? Grow some brains and come here for a real reason.

[sumbuddyx]

Inuit Joe. Doesn't have the same ring to it.

[MrBastard97]

good driving song :D

[undomiel152003]

I would love to see this band in the US, but then again, the cost of them coming here is ridiculously high with the band equipment, the roadies, etc. But shame. Well, when I do go to Australia... I'm gonna go attack to see them live.

[TeaTimePhilosopher]

Why doesn't he 'understand the point of fingers'? ;-)

[Shasitaa]

@TeaTimePhilosopher Thats also what I always seem to hear ;)

[bendani2010]

i love this song but seriously wtf does it mean lol

[MrGamingEdition]

@bendani2010 It is either about people continuously fighting about religion. For instance there is a line that goes "The argument over god continues". This states that to this day people are still fighting over culture and religion. Another theory is that people are saying to find out what is the right religion people would have to die and they would probably be buried underground and they would go to heaven, be reincarnated etc.

[BlackHoleBlur]

is the song about eskimo joe becoming shit after this album? cause that's what seemed to happen

[shazzaBazza96]

[ahappchappy]

@TheDellanator you forgot AC/DC which is one of the most successful bands in history

[TheDellanator]

@ahappchappy YEAH TRUE!

[minglis88]

@TheDellanator you act like australia doesn't have shitty pop artists or something...

[TheDellanator]

@minglis88 name me some shitty pop artisits then that live in australia, because australia has alot of talent, just america is way to over rated

[pounce4evur]

@minglis88 i'm sure it does, but from what i've seen & heard ( AC/DC, Wolfmother, Eskimo Joe, Jet..), Australia kicks some serious ass.

[borinorge]

Has a very INXS sound about it...

[Remy1977]

Not sure what all the debate is about, but this is one of the best things I've seen in a long while.

[robfan4life]

I feel so stupid now, but I gotta ask; maybe I'm just deaf, but I really can't hear the difference between the 'old' version and the 'new' one.. Anyone?

[pounce4evur]

@robfan4life I think they just changed the video, not the song. The song's still pretty violent :D

I have always liked this song, but after watching the video I don't really get the whole meaning of the song . Anyone able to tell me thanks ? (:

[angusyoungsshorts]

i think it is one of the best videos i have seen.as someone from ireland this is new but fantastic,plus the tune itself is massive

[Siroe73]

this song is SUPER!!!!! luv Eskimo Joe!

[tomislav80]

This song really has a classic Australian rocksound to it, if I didn't know any better I would say it's something from Icehouse or INXS...

[trivialmed]

This video drives me crazy!!!! Is very dificult understand it, but is very interesting... I love this song and this version of the video... Really, I didn't know it...

[dermut71]

@ASkywalker1

Mate - I saw them here in Australia in 07 with INXS - AIS Arena in Canberra. They are touring this month and playing at the Grand Prix in Melbourne! probably won't make it - the date has crept up on me a bit! Should be good though - if your there make sure you video and post on youtube!! cheers

[Cleezelbee]

i rememeber this song ^_^

[lubetube2009]

What's the video/song about then eh ?. Love the drum solo, pity it wasn't LONGER though, like a whole 8 bars !.

[tysonk1981]

These guys are awesome!

UGottaHearThis.blogspot

[twilight10033]

@tysonk1981

I agree!!!

[Dean0rock]

This video is awesome . I want to do that to somebody

[goldmundelectronica]

somewhere between INXS and SIMPLE MINDS...

[dermut71]

@goldmundelectronica - i can see that - must be why they are my fav 3 bands!

[cindyns1]

shlabangana a 43 year old loser

[moggitw]

lol eskimos!

[MichealJacksonisGUN]

good song made me emo

[ApocalypX]

Uh, how?

Eskimo Joe is primarily alternative rock.

[Sabrepulsified]

me too

[Smilez347]

Haha why has everyone dislikes MichealJacksonisGUN's comment, it's fucking funny! :)

[ZimEngAusGirl]

@MichealJacksonisGUN Haha rock on

[girlliar]

they got the name from a takeaway shop in america i doubt very much they meant to offend anyone

[cindyns1]

it is like calling a black person a nigger, try it and then tell them to relax, before you go on about me relaxing, try and research why that name is offensive too us then tell me to relax. it is my culture, i am sure you have offensive names for your first nation native people in your country as well. come here and call my people Eskimo and see what happens.

[Top40ModernRockPlay]

I will bring you some Eskimo Pies as a peace offering.

[blacker1977]

@cindyns i learned it as eskimo were a tribe of people. quite large from what i understand. from siberia to the states. maybe you are aleut or inuit and are offended by that. but you cant compare it to calling someone nigger (slave). if your not eskimo then tell people they made a mistake. but dont go trowing all your toys out of your pram and pretending it is an offensive word. why are you getting on the band wagon, if your not eskimo then he wasnt talking about you so keep the fuck out of it.

[PhoebeBumblebee]

Oh come on cydyns1! Jeez no1 can do or say anything these days without being told 'ooh thats not PoliticallyCorrect oo u cant say that u can't do that! that'll offend some minoritiy group no 1 cares about' grr anywho point is Eskimo Joe just thought it was a good name end of story.

[shlabangana]

Got to love those whale murdering and seal pup slaughtering Eskimos!

[cindyns1]

as an Inuit in Canada i find the name Eskimo Joe or whatever to be offensive, just the word Eskimo is very offensive too many many Inuit people, but nice music none the less, just wish a name change for the band.

[URAGR8M8]

I find the name cindyns1 offensive - please don't use terms that offend me.

[0bpdn9dm]

it's just a name they chose that rhymed with "joe" don't take it too personal. it may not be politically correct but they don't mean for it to be offensive.

[generalrage88]

Its wonderful to see how utterly stupid our society has become, to the point that its really really sad if people think motive and actions of individuals can be influenced by something as silly as a music video. Yes, music videos are used to stir up emotions, but the songs do that on thier own accord. Talk about bubblewrapping society, and who's largely to thank? The Yanks. The quicker the epicenter of pop-culture and social conceptions leaves America, the better.

[canbot71]

I can't believe I've never seen this video before.

Oh, and the sound quality could be better.

[WoodRatGirl]

Beautifully dark song and I adore his voice, the melody and tune.

[Nuushoes]

Thx... : )

[anzac2404]

Thanks for pointing out those details Fawnokater, & yeah I think that this vid is by far the better one; seedy & gritty...showing the darker side but sorry to hear of why it came about. Love the song, keep it up boys!

[Obiwankenobi15]

I agree this on should be broadcasted it the best one the media and all those other people should live a little

[Apetite4Destruction]

I love this version so much more than the more popular/played one.

Would've been fun to make ;D

People saying that it's wrong for others to think this video is cool, are quite clearly, a bit confused. This video doesn't promote kidnapping, no. It's constructive and creative in the way the content is shown. Besides, what's wrong with letting out your inner destructive side once in a while? xD

[kungFuGirl01]

@Apetite4Destruction

What other one? :O

[fawnokater]

the problem is you missed the entire point of the video. at the time this album was made there was great upheaval in the band Kavyen Temperley partner had left him there was pressure on the band. so the CONCEPT behind the video is ESKIMO JOE kidnapping themselves and killing off the old eskimo joe making a new eskimo joe

Unfortunetly like everyone you missed the entire point and this video got banned and they had to remake another one

[dalmanation]

@fawnokater your problem is you don't get it.....did they have permission to abduct themselves?.....I don't think so. Killing off someone is never ok.

Are you a serial thinker?

[p00ptarts]

@dalmanation "did they have permission to abduct themselves?"

Are you serious?

[dalmanation]

@p00ptarts sometimes I am .......very serious but not now....hahaha.... fuck I love this tune

[derpeederpderp]

@fawnokater Come to think of it, they do seem a bit frustrated in the other video, don't they?

[LosSenoraDiablo]

it's just a video clip... you see people getting kidnapped and killed in movies and on the news..settle.

[kmcgi28]

was this about the twin towers?

[umidk]

This was on gosspi girl right?

[tlm315]

love it

[Xjastet]

2:30 was great.
