[berazzled]

YOU FUCKIN RULE BICHEZ!

[TENF0LD]

awesome

[konichiwatanabe]

amazing. i hope to see this documentary here in italy too, one day soon. you really have balls to the walls... congrats for your perseverance.

[afoolisharrangement]

Metal proves once again it cant withstand the nost fucked up situations. Much respect to the metal brothers, keeping the torch alive in the middle of a fuckign war zone. I think all the 14 year olds insulting the members or the music are really fucking stupid and need to grow up. I would love to see the whole movie and see a side of life that hopefully I will never have to live. Thanks for posting.

[Felwoon]

haha those guys suck

[MotherPuncher420]

i have great respect and admiration for these guys fuck they need to come to america

[sportnice1]

[modemmack]

I wonder if they have to buy special pants to hide the balls these guys have to play metal in the Middle East. Bravo. Not if that isn't hardcore I don't know what is.

[pawel3300]

dziadostwo

[VipericVampire]

Awesome, heavy-metlaers in my country! Hell yeah!

Hail Satan!

Hopefully they'll be anti-islamic black metal in the Middle-East soon :D

[girisguc]

What has religion to do with the favour for art of perception?

My opinion is that everyones belief is her/his personal perception.

[VipericVampire]

I'll tell you, because religion is a piece of crap that always represses people and if I were to say I was a satanist in Iraq then those fucking muslims wouldn't let me have my personal opinion.

Fuck Islam, Christianity and Judaism.

And for the record you fucking Iraqi muslims I AM NOT A YEZIDI.

[girisguc]

As those muslims did not respect your peronal opinion you do not respect theirs. Now I am wondering what is the difference.

But I understand your statement that people in Iraq base their comparisons on religion. I also think that's not the right way for judging people as I think it's more appropriate to judge people on their acts.

[rebeltor]

Hail yeah!Fuck religion, the real god lies within ourselves! Religion represses people minds and limit their freedom!FUCK ISLAM,CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM!!!

HEAVY METAL FOREVER! THIS IS THE TRUE FREEDOM!

[VipericVampire]

Yeah finnally someone with the same opinion as me!

[thineeyesbleedlight]

brave guys, putting their life on the line for their art while being brutal at the same time.

[gamindan]

METAL lives on. My generation's emo shit is a disgrace.

[maxitwist]

[SwineNahNah]

Band is named "Acrassicauda", info says it's Latin name of some black scorpion species.

Heavy from Iraq... wow! I think only one thing would be more amasing and it would be country music band! 8D

[Hairysteed]

[MEZDYZ0]

this seems like a good movie, dont let a tyrant destroy your dreams....

This shows the will and hopes of the common Iraqi living to be their individual self

[ana7ana7ana]

[philosoful]

[metalways]

Fucking eh. This video makes me smile. Music: the positive force that can bring us together. You can't repress people's feelings, way to go guys, keep it up. METAL IS FOREVER!!!

[oliverjoel66]

[wookie128]

These guys are awesome.

It is a shame that they have to fear for their lives only for making music.

[liketanyanot]

Amazing. Read the original article in Vice, totally incredible story. Great musicians, too. Thank you

[insanityizgood]

I am so glad I found this link; these guys are awesome. Heavy metal DOES rule, and I really hope these guys manage to find a place they can stay and don't have to go back to Iraq! I support them 100% and hope they can accomplish their dream of having long hair and playing all the music they want.

[ConE500]

It just goes to show that they can still rock out and have a good time over in their war-torn motherland, even if it is being torn apart by rednecked biggot politicians!

[starwriter]

Please get them out of Iraq, Bush the bastard fck'd it all up...I am so sorry for you my Iraqi people.....!

[RedneckSmasher1973]

It was bad before America went in...

[arabjoyroad313]

what the fuck are you talking about...it was bad before america went in, saddam never killed 1.302,002 people in 4 years you are just a follower.and all this killing going on in iraq is because of the war.its like hurricane katrina,people wher looting because of the storm.without the war they wouldnot have bombed and killed just to get the americans out

[RedneckSmasher1973]

thank you for the education ^_^

[arabjoyroad313]

your wellcome glad i can help but i like this vid so lets not make this in to a war

[TheMachine808]

Iraq under Saddam was a virtual police state, thousands were arrested (and killed), a free and open media didn't exist, and thousands of young men were forcibly drafted and died in a war with Iran that Saddam started. It was bad before Bush went it..

[joyboyzztodafullist]

i hate saddam more then the next guy.but saddam was putt in power by the american presiden.since then he never killed more then 500,000 inicent iraqis in almost 6 years but thats what america did when they began the war.but saddam did kill 2 million people in 30...most of them were killers,but america will duble that in 10 more years if they stay.and they still have more fears then saddam was in power,now their is civil wars going on no food

[TheMachine808]

Saddam wasn't put in power by an American President. Most of his military funding actually came from the Soviet Union (AK-47s and Scuds aren't US equipment after all). And as for now, it's fellow Iraqis doing most of the killing, not the American military. Tell your former countrymen to stop the killing or talk to Iran or Turkey...

[joyboyzztodafullist]

no i mean america seriusly putt saddam in power ask anny one who knows about history.and we wont be killing each other if u guys never started the war.....i know what u gunna say they they blow up the towers,but it was not saddam...the high jackers wher not even iraqi all wher pakistani or palistainian

[munster777]

No, they were Saudi. But of course that fact was quickly washed over and so the public thinks that they were from somewhere else. Also remember, the fucking "leaders" are the

ones doing all that shit not the people. Let's get the facts

straight.

[arabjoyroad313]

man joyboy is right i seen it on history chan,america did put him in power!!!but the russians did suply him with weapons but america also did with wmd's

[metal71]

You need to read the rest of the story. We never 'liked' Saddam, we just like Iran even LESS, and Saddam did, too.  By keepin Saddam well armed, he kept Iran at bay, a good thing for the rest of the world. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". And old, fitting proverb that just happens to be Arabic in origin. Wonder why.

[arabjoyroad313]

lol yeah thats true but let get bak to the metal

[TheMachine808]

Saddam was an oppressive dictator that forcibly drafted thousands of young Iraqi men to die in his war with Iran that he started and he tortured and killed thousands of other Iraqis. Just because the Bush admin has f'ed up in Iraq, don't pretend as if what came before was some sort of paradise...

[AmericanApostate]

Keep supporting metal. Keep it brutal, keep it alive! \m/

[hubcyr]

Hell-X-CYR from france supports you guys!

Keep faith in music, play it loud.

[oaxakitajux]

El rock es universal, yeahhhhhhhhh.

[max2000warrior]

Well done dudes. Keep the metal alive.

Metalheads Forever!!!

[vEriScHaRLiE]

i guess if they sound just the same as all heavy metal bands in america or they try to put sounds and rythms of their culture

[oldsteinar]

I feel sorry for you having to live in squaller in Baghdad. It is a dangerous place to try to exercise freedom of speech and freedom of musical expression. The Nazis were good at suppression of freedom. Watch my video on YouTube: Grandpa Clarence Jones and read my bio. God bless you and keep you safe.

[kissmyx]

Good job guys.

Must be pretty rough being a metal fan in Baghdah.

[species4]

rock on

thanks perrga

[dexosiribunucleico]

eL merooooll rules¡¡¡¡ Se vive en BAGHDAD

Resistencia, BUSH-EMPYRES no ENTRY

[jabozu]

Mientras exista el ROck y el Metal existira la resitencia...

[JuggalocodeChile1988]

Now this looks very intresting!! Rock on!!

[lldavell]

i garuntee that if the troops knew there was a heavy metal band they would go and watch so many shows.

[wmbdm]

Hope those HeadBangers Live!

[Ahippi]

Baghdad does looks so much better now that the U.S decorate the city with bomb craters.

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

i wonder if they drink booze

[Raouliboy]

Don't stop to rock!

[itwaslikethatalready]

the guy at 1:27 with the side burns...is he the leading singer??

[st3even]

dude , they're on myspace , they have like 3 or 4 songs ^ ^

[PoGoX7]

I give these guys props, in a country where well, alot of shit is fucked up... Something keeps em going... Music, and most importantly, METAL... Keep on rocking alright... Stay motivated...

PoGo...

[camshaff]

Hope they let you guys live.

[Mr777Norway]

In support of our incredible brave friends over in Burma:

May all people around the world wear a red shirt on Friday, September 28.

Please forward!

[Coldkilla9]

Hell yea! Rock on! Heaaavy Mettaaaaaal!

[PeacefulTheEarth]

You guys rock !!

[Sithlord27]

[665885]

Heavy metal...in Iraq?? ROCK ON!

[jimicheesecake]

props to iraqi metalheads!

[protofear]

fuck yea

[mercmeteor]

the guitar player with the glasses that looks white was my interpreter!!! he fing rules!!!!

[CaguaxBorincano]

svegas67.. FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER EAT SHIT AND DIE

[svegas67]

A FEW questions you may want to consider.

1. Why are none of the 19 hijackers on the passenger lists? 2. How did jet fuel, burning at 1200F, melt steel? Steel requires 3000F.

3. Why did Building #7 collapse? It wasn't even hit by a plane. 4. Why didn't the ASAF respond at all? The most heavily protected air space in the world, and no sign of help.

5. Where's the 757 that crashed in to the Pentagon? Burning jet fuel doesn't vaporize 12 tons of titanium jet engine.

[NachoDelGrande]

ill answer all i can...the hijackers used alias'

it didnt melt it, a plane flew into the fucking building and pretty much destroyed all the steele gurters...

i dont know the relation to the tower that building seven had, but im sure the falling debris fuckd up the building

[theoriginalmc]

Are seriously that dumb svegas67...

Go to school oi...they'll tell ya.

[svegas67]

physics911 dot net

[Blitzkreig19]

this is not the time nor the place to do this, but i completely agree with you svegas

[quarklark]

oh hell yeah, i really want to see this.

[persiantech]

these guys have some balls... dont forget wat they said at the end again....! " WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FREE COUNTRY HERE RITE, WHERE IS FREEDOM HERE?

[zuich06]

I'm in Baghdad as we speak...where the hell can I get a cd...I love fuckign metal and don't have any Iraqi stuff for sure!

[q911com]

hey

[zuich06]

Yeah most Iraqis don't hate us they are just influenced by propanganda and the fact they face certain death if they don't do what insurgents push some of them to do.

[wickedvocals]

jliira was making a joke dumb fuck...micheal bolton

[DrummingPianistGuy]

Jliira is an idiot lmao. Satan is responsible for Black Sabbath? YOu must be on crack or something, my friend, cus thats insane...

[Rabidpanda112]

Uhhh... I thought Iraqis hated metal.

[mhm555]

Uhhh...I thought Iraqis hated americans...

Welcome to the real world man, there's a gap between what you hear in the "news" (let's call them "news") on your bullshit US television, what things actually are!

Open Up your minds, that won't hurt you, my friends.

[grasseater108]

Im not American, but I know Iraqis don't hate Americans. Al Queda hates Americans.

[Rabidpanda112]

Why are you getting pissed at me? I just thought they hated heavy metal!

[gogorunrun]

Gotta love that!

[lighthammar]

seems like these guys are going to be victims of a psycho ops scheme.

I wouldn't trust their handlers.

[Monroediddly]

WICKED!

Giver Boys!

Music of every kind is the answer!

[pray4jerusalem]

Satan knows no boundary he's even influencing others through this kind of evil music in Baghdad.

God help thos lost souls.

[jliira]

Yeah, Sure. But Satan still has a lot more influence in the US than Iraq, or how else would you explain evil music like Black Sabbath, Kiss

or Michael Bolton.

[moviemaker1989]

any samples of their music? sounded pretty kewl

[rockabilly64]

Are they still alive? Current address, Guantanamo? Or did the Tomahawk cruise missile get the better out of this camel banging bullshit metal band?

[rencrow]

Go suck a dick. Fucking hillbilly.

[Acadian10]

Sweet! And they got reason and purpose too!

[ROCKGUDEN]

omg! didnt know metal even existed in Iraq!

Gnarly!

[rencrow]

Dude theres heavy metal bands all across the middle-east...

[ROCKGUDEN]

Man, howtha hell should I know that?

[BEAVIS1hellrize]

[v12kid]

VIVA METAL! Hopefully our metal brothers in Iraq stay safe and are able to keep playing!

[YankeeRebelSon]

Yeah, rock on Baghdad...fuck the insurgents!

[aimsme]

Great to see people over there have good music taste!

[samsoul75]

When I hear those guys speakin, they sound more american than iraqis... Not sure that heavy metal is what they need the most. What they need is a good ice hockey team!!!

[Martin77G]

Real great video.

[veteranofthepsyche]

Wow, pretty cool.

[fabregatoribio]

worring no chicks, what u gona fuck after a concert, a camel? title should be sausage fest in iraq

[jimboslutstien]

The last thing iraq needs are dragons, warlocks, and extreme virginity. metal is hilarious

[DarthEsteve]

Fuck yeah! Metal unifying the masses!

[persiantech]

i like the last thing he said... WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FREE COUNTRY HERE>>>> WHERE IS FREEDOM HERE>>>

[amirmasoud]

SNAP...good point! i was actually going to qout the same thing

[billy619billal]

that looks boring

[jimmie1021]

i like beans

[sukkyatlife]

woa these guys are pretty dam good i never thought there were any good metal bands in bahgdad!! i wanna see this movie

[Tarab666]

u guys are hot

[ControlledDemolition]

the Black Scorpions are Baghdad Heavy Metal. They are featured in the Michael Franti Spearhead movie called "I know I'm not alone." I suggest you watch the movie and check out the Black Scorpions.

[dcrozberry]

Fake.

[DeathK1ng]

see this is proof...

iraqi's are not bad guys!

..

..

..

its the uneducated muslims that are

(ignorance breeds anger)

most of ppl who have a religion(christians, muslim etc) AND education are moderate and rational.

extremists are neither.

[adronbh]

Actually that's BS.

Osama and many of the ilk that have committed these acts, lead these acts more specifically, are very intelligent and educated. Often times in American schools.

They however are hypocrits and insane, but they are educated.

Keep in mind,

EDUCATED DOES NOT EQUAL INTELLIGENT.

Just wanted to clarify :)

Metal rulz!

[DeathK1ng]

thats true... but i was meaning the masses more than the actual "masterminds"

listen to job for a cowboy!

[sycron85]

ACK!

[Poohfaceman]

this band was featured on an australian doco kalled soundtrakk to war bakk in 2004/5.

good to se them still alive
