  • 1st BCT 34TH ID is credited as the longest serving unit in GWOT. that is a guard BCT. "real combat marines" who were with us in the Anbar will admit this,,,,,,,,,what are you????

  • jOOjy You are most likelt not a combat marine (whom i like). The National Guard actually has a way longer lineage than the USMC. C'mon dude, do you know history. Unless there were Marines in Trenton and Valley forge haha. You obviously were not in IRAQ and if you want to search the record, look at the longest deployed unit in OIF. Not to mention the record for WW2 (ironman1/133rd INF) Iowa ARNG. Your welcome for the history lesson. What is your service record? I am an E-7 22 years

    .

  • Good man for playing for the troops. Much respect.

  • opps camp korean village and rutbah

  • all the marines were safe on TQ while the 34th ID (army national guard soldiers ) were out getting shot at. Should break the long running fable that all marines are infantryman. The LAV ones I knew at Camp Korwan Village were MARINES. rest were just as useless as the army turds running finance on base.

  • @lhingtgen1 That's one hell of a comment to make considering the USMC combat record compared to the almost nonexistent combat record of the Army National Guard. I wasn't personally there on that base so I won't flat out call you a liar but putting National Guard troops out in front of Marines in any kind of combat situation seems a bit far fetched to me.

  • @j00jy He's just trying to brag because the national guard finally did something. Oorah!

  • Rock on shinedown an fuck them who dont like u or your great music.

  • Wow, the original Shinedown. Never did get to see them...

  • I was there for their concert in IRAQ. Awesome show. Those 2 that disliked are fu(kin faggots. Must be 2 hadji b!tches that disliked.

  • @michigan0626 And not just some person exercising their right to free speech? Pffft get a clue. Freedom means being free and that there is not just one viewpoint but many that are viable... FYI I clicked like on this video. Grow up already!

  • i so awesome how they sing along so well gave me goose bumps(:

  • are you kidding me who in there right mind would dislike this even the original band would love it lol

  • @Quickdraw0317 shinedown did the most amazing cover ever on this song! skynyrd (original)im sure is aware of brents covering this song......

  • @alwayssme Jasin Todd (the original lead guitarist of shinedown) actually married Ronnie's daughter melody and they recorded it at his widow's studio....

  • This song is so badass that the most badass military in the world knows every word.

  • free..........................­.........

  • the two people that disliked this video must be iranians.

  • I love them. I love this song. I just got chills and cried because of how amazing they are, their songs, what they stand for, how they've helped me, and what they've done to others. I LOVE SHINEDOWN! They're soo amazing! :) I don't care what people think. They do this because they love music and they love performing for others and change for the better. Not just for the media. Love you guys so much!

  • I love them. I saw the concert in Kuwait and had to go to Iraq after we got the word to go pack. I heard this song as I was heading out. Made me listen to this song when I headed out on patrol daily

  • Comment removed

  • awesome song, even more respect for them doing a show like this!

  • i love this band and i love this cover and i was in the crowd for this song at Camp TQ

  • lol fuck iraq at 2:40 or so thats what i say i cant wait to get over there and serve my nation

  • i think your band and you are are outstanding and you may be the best male singer out there but stick to your own fashion and fire your dresser cuz if you are trying to please everyone youll leave those behind

  • my favorite song!! always good with beer :P

  • Jesus i get chills when i hear this song

  • It feels like there is more emotion in this version.

  • that guys got lungs on him man. much better thne the original version

  • the war get such bad press its sad they focus on negative when so postive going on

  • theres people out there dying for no God damn reason. i see nothing positive about that. fuck that.

  • God Bless Shinedown and every Vet to be and past...

  • actually the french are in Afghanistan fighting alongside U.S. soldiers. not very many but there, there.

    anywho shinedown kicks ass love this song!!

    Bro served in Iraq and Afghanistan love him a lot!! Damn Taliban left a souvenir in his hand. RPG hit outside his hummvee window in a ambush and peace of shrapnel went into his hand and a quarter dollar size piece missed his neck bye 3 inches and landed in his flack vest..

    GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

  • I love this song and i think its great that shinedown was over there singing to the troops there good people and i wish them the best...i hope to join them one dat but for now i hope them the best

  • @25201726 i missed shinedown when i was in iraq i was sent out on a patrol fuckin squad leader was a dick lol......love shinedown and this song even more still pissed about not bein able to make it

  • @yourmom92eng

    I was there in 2006 and loved this concert especially song 45. When full bird said "Act like human, I don't want soldier with broken bones send to Germany"

    Al Taqaddum 06

  • Shinedown is such a great band and I think that its really cool that they went to iraq to play for our troops. My cousin is over in iraq and i just wanna say thanks to him and all of are other troops you are all amazing

  • thanks troops for all you do. im a dad raising my daughter on my own. she is the only reason im not with you. thank you thank you thank you and to let u know i make sure she knows you all are the greatest

  • It seems very strange to have a band like Shinedown go over to Iraq and play for the troops. It's supposed to be a war zone, and Shinedown comes over and plays? I guess it's good for their morale, reminds them of home as well. Reminds me of a quote from Apocolypse Now: "The more they tried to make it just like home, the more they made everybody miss it."

  • Are you serious about that?

  • Well, yes? What do you mean, am I serious?

  • I will be in the Navy one day and will be proud to serve.

  • I was in IRAQ for 15 months as a MiTT Advisor, We were in ANBAR province. There was a MARINE base down the road from us called "TQ". I remember Shinedown was supposed to be there but we were unable to convoy down. Does anyone know if this is from that USO tour at TQ?

    Thanks! HOOAH!! AF

  • hell yeah i wish they were around when i was a soldier back in 96' it would have rocked to see them while i was in bosnia.

  • Big up! i was the Corpsman on duty ! CLR 17 RAS Nanton!

  • FUCK IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love that shinedown did this. I'm prior military and my husband is still in. This means a lot to me that bands give an escape while deployed (I've deployed twice.)

  • fucking awesome

  • awsome version brents voice is insane

  • If our soldiers aren't heros then there are none!. Those men and women leave there family and country to go and lay everything on the line. I have mad respect for them. Shinedown too, for them to go over there and give these guys a good show is so awesome.

  • hey azumsafa this is an american site so if you dont like it then go to your foreign sites american band american soldiers makes sense fuckin moron

  • hey ozumsafa show some fucking respect these men and women lay down there lives everyday for people. this is a concert video just listen to the music and apreciate it.

  • Who said i did not appreciate the music . I sing shinedown every day in amateur concerts. However , yet , a reading and understanding man will see that the hero is not the American soldiers. Heros are the Iraq public who can live with those foreign soldiers. I am not muslum btw . I am just a justice man ...

  • who the fuck said you are muslum? and damn it if those soliders are willing to die for the people...not just iraq then they are heros.

  • fuck you and fuck them, the "iraq public " as you put it will be your freind one day and the next day shoot you

  • you obviously miss the point of why the troops are fighting....dumb eople like you are part of the problem

  • How can they be are friends one day if today they are killing us??

  • Heroes are the young soldiers over there fighting in that shit hole of a country cause our corrupt politicians sent them their instead of there own sons.

    Fuck Iraq and the people there all I care about, are the troops

  • what a shit ass comment...

  • You got to be really brave to go and sing in the middle of a war.

    Even if I hate war, you are great Shinedown.

  • DAMN!

    God Bless America!

    love how they did this!

  • 3:27 - 3:46

    i saw a cool bumper sticker the other day that read."if you like your freedom, that a veterian"

  • its all ways good to see bands playing for the troops...god bless and good luck!!

  • you are ignorant, the percent of women raped by soliers??!! is nothing in comparison to the civilians. Had they not FREED iraq from sadam those same woman wouldnt have rights ...

  • The Spaniards killed the majority of the Aztecs and Mayans so this analogy is bullshit. the other things I can agree with.

  • You have no idea what you are talking about.

  • who the hell would wanna rape a chick in a burca?? Not a single u.s. soldier asshole

  • spine tingles shivvers we all there for our troops god speed home

  • Amazing song, amazing voice! Best ever!

  • song makes me sad. Classic though.

  • I'm not a huge Shinedown fan, but I love their cover of Simple Man. And I have even more admiration for them playing for our troops. God bless our troops. Ya'll deserve every bit of respect.

  • you mean thick and thin not "think" and thin but i agree wit you

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing how you "non-Americans" love to point fingers, criticize and comment when your very existence is because of our forefathers. Yes...many of your fu**ing whiney, critical, WUSSY countries wouldn't be here if it weren't for my uncle and people like him. I'd love to see America curl up in on itself and let you all fend for yourselves in each and every way.

  • brilliantly put man

  • finally someone said it. It's great how even our allies talk shit about us and call us arrogant look at France for being arrogant. Plus who cares where we live we should all fucking unite and make the world a better place to live

  • Wow that was touching and im bein furreal

  • Learn to spell, when you type like that it makes you look like a Dumass.

  • i spelled everything right... bein' for real is that more proper?

  • lol... don't you mean dumbass xD

  • Indeed I did, but I made an honest typo, "furreal" is not something one does accidentally. XD

  • true xD

  • Metallica should go and perform Disposable Heros

  • LOL your the man

  • FUCK THE SANDBOX AKA IRAQ....THIS COMING FROM A COMBET VET!!!! FUCKING POGUES...CHILLING IN THE DAMN F.O.B!!! 0313 lAMe AND rETArTeD 1STLARBIN

  • I hope the members of shinedown offered to shake everyone of their hands. I would have...

  • 2:35

  • lol a trooper said "Fuck Iraq!"

    Priceless.

    Shinedown Rocks!!!! \m/(^_^)\m/

  • i love this song :)

  • God Bless our troops for their bravery and strenghth! It's refreshing to see their is still loyalty and honor in this world. My favorite song in the most respected and feared place on earth. ROCK ON AND KICK ASS!!

  • respected place? why the hell are you americans killing people in a respected country? ... If you wouldnt be in need of oil, then there wouldnt be any soldiers in Iraq...

  • Oh shut up, you Nazi.

  • I dont feel that I need to say anything more to you, you dont seem to be a reasonable person.

  • what the ignorant Europeans don't know (or care which ever idk) that in Europe only the people smart enough go to high school where here in America no matter if you are retarded or smart you all go to the same high school so look at that :)

  • what do you meen by killing people in a respected country? are you calling Iraq a respected country?

  • I dont think so, but I replied to someone who obviously think that Iraq is respected. I was very ironic in my comment as well..

  • This vid makes the hair on the back neck stand up. powerful

  • I loved 'em before, sick band. After seeing this vid (fn teary eyed as well) I am buying every one of their records tomorow. Class act boys. Keep the suppot up all, as were browsing in our safe homes.

  • perfect

  • nobody can cover this song like that

    it makes it real special that they played it for the troops

  • the song makes me cry by itself but having the troops singing along just makes it more emotional

  • i love my soldier boys!  USA baby!! =)

  • Man i wanna cry every time i hear this song. Song Rocks!!!

  • this song gives me goose bumps everytime I listen to it. I love this song!!!!

  • god.

    i absoulutly love them.

    made me get teary eyed.

  • soldier boys and girls and Shinedown, I may shed a tear! This truly is a beautiful video!

  • why didnt i see any cool shit like this when i was over seas???? i got gipped...

  • If they were there at tq that bites no body came there when i was there. lol

  • I may not be an American..But coming from a former soldier..I can understand the "Fuck Iraq" statement...even if it includes the entire middle east.

  • did u hear the "fuck iraq"?

  • Yea! I can understand him, but I dont know how it feels to be there.. Can only imagine =/

  • shivers,,

  • I am not so sure if this concert is in Iraq.

  • Yea it is I was there.

  • Some pay with thier lives (god bless), I do what I can... as I am a simple man.

  • I was not there for that but helped pay for it........

  • I was there for that. On my way back to the states. Kicked ass.

  • noones mentioned skynyrd yet..soo...

    SKYNYRD!!!

  • is his voice slightly off in the 1rst verse

  • he had been singing forever out in the open with the cold wind of the night and sand flying around. I couldn't talk the next morning and i wasn't singing that hard.

  • i wasnt sayin it was bad, by the way, i thought it was a great version of my favorite song, i was just asking..

  • i'm arguing, i'm just giving you an answer

  • One of the best vids ever

  • god i hope the troops come home soon. they dont deserve to die for something so pointless. there dont defending are freedom there being forced to fight for something so stupid. my god be with the them and their families.

  • honestly i am proud to fight for my country, whatever that may be. talk to the troops. we are proud of what we do over there. we need people to support us because of what we do, not just because we wear the uniform.

  • i support the troops 100% i just think its a lost cause. the middle east is almost impossible to stablize. fuck em'. its pointless. why do we help people who hate us? when u got idiots like this guy autekre on here bashing americans and shit. what an idiot. yes we are at a low point in our history. but as i do recall we have done alot of good in the past we just have had some dumb corrupt politions & companies who have fucked up. its sad i love this country & i hate to see it like this

  • thay are keeping the fight over in the mid east and not hear, and for 2 sodam insyne killed the kerds and people still like him over thare evan if he is dead thay want to kill all kerds so before you open you cock sucking trap do some fucking research you fucking hippie cock sucker, if you not stand behind use than stand in frount of us you hart less bitch. I lost a friend in iraq and that has not changed me i am still going in the Marines. So keep that dick in you trap.

  • ur dam right....but....if you dont want to look dumb, you should spell a bit better....i know im soundin like an asshole, but all i could do was focus on how dumb your comment seemed

  • Its cool when i get pissed i type fast. and my spelling sucks ass..

  • carry On

  • good shit!

  • lol 2:40 "fuck iraq"

  • haha, i saw that too. lol

  • Sending chills through my body. I feel safe knowing that there are people there to keep this country safe. Thank you

  • If any of you "over there" read this, I thank you. With all of my heart. I thank you for the life my daughter will get to live because of men and women like you. Be safe and well if you can, but always be proud.

  • i couldnt say it any better rip to all that gave for this country i salute all of you and everybody over there. so far from home but yet still there for home

  • you both hit the nail on the head. my prayers go out to all who have lost family to this war, i know there are many, considering im one of them. and to those who are still over there i consider you to be some of the bravest people on earth right now. my prayers go out to you also.

  • GREAT SONG SPORT OUR TROOPS

  • i miss Jasin Todd.

    This video is awesome, and the people fighting on the comments on it are retards. Just appreciate the fact that an amazing went all the way to Iraq to support the troops. Not the war. To Support the Troops.

    Big difference.

  • Awesome vidieo!!!! ill see them aug. 6th maplewood minnesota

  • What a great guitarist, shinedown and its fans will miss him.

  • this is why i have so much fucking respect for brent...this is exactly why...i sure will miss the old shinedown and damit brent we miss him too. jasin todd ladies and gentleman. :)

    :)

  • Stop fighting you immature fucks. Just enjoy the fact that they went to Iraq and did this, and enjoy the song. You sound like a bunch of little girls, grow some balls and fucking listen to the song.

  • exactly

  • Our men and women in Iraq deserve a genuine piece of inspiration. Thanks to Shinedown for bringing it to them!

  • autekre is a hairy french fuck

  • this song has a lot of meaning, and sadly a lot of dedication. the mere idea that someone would be ignorant enough to step up and include some war-hate during such an amazing and hearted performance of this song simply disgusts me...

  • Fuck all this racism! Lets enjoy Shinedown blowin the fuckin roof off with SIMPLE MAN!

  • I have done two tours in Iraq. We don't do it for politics, our president, or any reasons other than "Camaraderie".

    The people i train, fight, eat, sleep, and shit with on a 24/7/365 basis is why i am fighting.

    My brothers, not by blood but by events. I have spent more time with my platoon than i ever have with my own family. I would gladly die or take a bullet (as would they) to save anyone of my "brothers". Something a civilian will never know or understand, nor would i expect you too.

  • Ah your French EXPLAINS EVERYTHING !!!

    lol

    Your not even worth arguing with. haha

    The only war you won was.........well you didn't maybe your civil war you had that about it.

  • honestly you will never understand anything. Hate the president of our country if you wish. But dont hate the soldiers who fight for him. And Being that your french ,Fight might be a new word for your generation. You see...your ancestors were some of the greatest fighters in the world. But your generation just dosent understand what its like to take a stand in what you believe in.

  • There's a devil in all of us. It surfaces sometimes, and on occasion it takes control. Sometimes the little demon can convince everyone around it to do the same thing. Sometimes, maybe even an entire nation.

    Humanity will always need guardians and protectors. We will always need soldiers. Your 'wisdom' is just a delusion that works because there are others to pick up the fight for you, because you've forgotten how to do it yourself.

  • There's a devil in all of us. It surfaces sometimes, and on occasion it takes control. Sometimes the little demon can convince everyone around it to do the same thing. Sometimes, maybe even an entire nation.

    NCOoarashi those words are Awesome!

  • One day when you are old and gray you will understand that there are some things worth fighting and dieing for.

    When you understand that then you will understand why we fought and died to give you your beloved country back.
