Kasabian - Empire

[gowandefrogs]

they are bloody better than oasis!!!!!!!!!

[MrSimonsatan]

you gotta agree with nikki128 kasabian rule FULL STOP

[benanthate]

fairly boring song

[OLISHAW2K8]

i love kasabian. they are sooo underated and in my opinion apart from the beatles they are one of the best british bands in history. i saw em at sheffield on monday. there in a fucking class of their own.

[Dex2772]

kasabian kaasahbian.should stop hero worshipping the gallaghers..all respect to oasis..but kaasabian are a different cup of tea ....lovely biscuits..

[futbol0010110]

I dont understand british talk...

[KardiffFan99]

i dont either and im british

[xanchezor]

to add to the kasabian being compared with oasis discussion;

I have no idea WHY they are being compared? i can't find a single thing similar between them..

[scubasam92]

i think they are only being compared because kasabian love oasis and think they have to look up to them while they are actually well better then oasis...

[Fedaykin24]

Watched them live last night

[TheGooners05]

yeah same! awesomeness!!

[Malcomdaughter]

Why are Kasabian always compared to Oasis, it's crap. Someone tell me why?

[nikki128]

Kassaian rules, oasis crap, full stop. btw thats MY opinion.

[thesafclad]

Kasabian for me are the only worthy band to fill Oasis's boots.

[zaix11]

KASABIAN RULES!!!

Awesome....i really like this song and this album

Kasabian rrrRRockks

[Fishfliphatsock]

Why do majors REFUSE to upload high quality video, then take down any competing vids of higher quality? It's a form of fascism...

[tj2crew]

took me a while to think about it but yeah kinda in a way the only difference is no one is dieing but without that it is fascist

[StoidGrrl]

Top song and one of the best clips ever! LOVE it!

[DVekony]

is british guys do it for you, im british a musician and i come from their hometown. LEICESTER!!!!!!

[mattyeomans]

[mightybooshrock82]

thats so true, plus Haha im british and theyre all mine, Mhuhahahahahaaaaa!!!

[Euadam]

This sounds like Big Country.

[Harryidie]

its the crimean war beetween england and france in the napoleonic wars

[zompire]

Ahem! I think youl find that would be Britain and France, The Scots and Irish were very much there as well

[thecommenter69]

the crimean war had nothing to do with the napoleonic wars, it was britain and france fighting against russia. This is probably the napoleonic wars which was completely different

[DonLoganUK]

this is the crimean war or famously known as 'the charge of the light brigade'

[mobydick1337]

yeh france and england were allied in the crimean war. they we're fighting against the russian empire

[jtevanz]

i have a empire

[lieutenanterrrrrrrr]

It's the Crimean war actually...

[tinsabretooth]

perhaps by "mishmashing" the history they were representing the fact that this has happened many times hence the lyrics "its happening again"

[Kraken2681994]

who gives a fuk about all that shite your slevering its a fukn amazing song and vid live with it dont try tae fuk about and analyze ffs lol :)

[elboonio]

amen.

[hendern4]

Best music vid ever

[MarineSeehund]

Great song, great video. But what is with the mish mash of history in it?

[deltaunit38]

its the British army and their empire and that spanned a long time from conquering India to the American revolution

[MarineSeehund]

I do know that, but whats with flint lock rifles and revolvers? And that uniform looks like a royal artilery uniform crossed with dragoons.

[deltaunit38]

would not know

[castlekingside28]

not a mish mash as such, obviously napoleonic era but i dont think they had electric guitars back then lol

[FruitCakeReaper]

r u slightly fick?

[radiator26]

tom with short hair! ^^

<3 Kasabian

[Kraken2681994]

lol i think it may be american revolver actually maybe a ranger

[suchasupernova]

I love Tom with short hair

[lptomtom]

What revolver is this? Looks like a French 1892 to me...

[FerrisHero]

sick video

[masterkontroller]

damn intro hits you quite hard first time

[pumblechooker]

Oh Boy!!

They just shot my Tom

Serge and Tom are so sexy

[ksb4evr]

I know! It's tragic!

[pcarne01]

3:15 sounds like piper floyd.....

[DeSmurfen125]

Love this song!! But wtf is with Lady GaGa??

[Wheresmyseat23]

good music video, but probably spent a shit load of money making it.

[november12ful]

hes actully kinda a good actor as well as being hot ( tom that is xD)

[weirdochick12345]

Tom is so sexy.

Kasabian <3

[MrPeteofile]

these lads are fucken quality ... REAL BAND REAL MUSIC ,,,,, EVEN BETTER THAN LADY GAGA LOL

[DivineScheme]

but i happen to like lady gaga, lol oooppppssss

[hetios]

4:22 pwnt

[redlight59]

this is my new obsession

[lattediluna]

i know what u mean..they're my new obsession too:D

[aramsargsyan]

where these guys come from, which country they live in ?

[SuperDrmd]

england i think

[sidandmoi]

Leicester, England

[supertroper1]

kinda sound liek aritic monkeys at de start

[MudHut67]

This is actually the best music video I have ever seen.

[cannibaljuice]

I Love the orcherastra in this song and of course the beat

[luckylunggurl]

Does Kasabian mean anything?

[Jykone]

Nah, but they got it from Linda Kasabian, you can look her up, she was involved in a famous murder. They just liked the sound of the name.

[elviskelvis]

it's a name, the name of Linda Kasabian, one of the adepts of Charles Manson responsable for the killing of 4 persons in the house of Roman Polansky(five countin the baby Sharon Tate was waiting) in 1969.

[sidandmoi]

They are called Kasabian after Linda Kasabian, a member of the Charles Manson "family"

[BlackCatLucky123]

This is my favourite video ever.

Awesome song, awesome clip. I particularily liked the quote at the end. Fitting, I think :]

[cannibaljuice]

Aww definently this song and video match so well i think

[Dariuznl]

No, it's the Crimean War. They portrayed a British Hussars regiment.

[EvanPhPaTaras]

No, it's Empire and they portrayed Kasabian...

[theotherspice]

THANK YOU!

geez, why does everyone manage to make an awesome song and video sound boring with history?

[swordarmleadstheway]

you must be from some part of the world were your country was not affected by history and/or battles of great magnitude.

[theotherspice]

umm yeh, sorry to burst ur little history bubble, but my country (and probably most of the people who are listening to this' country) was definitely affected by war and/or battles of GREAT magnitude...but do we really need to hear about it when we're NOT in history class? this is just an awesome music video, with Kasabian portraying Kasabian, and we can tell there's a war but does it matter which one? i appreciate that you're trying to show off your evident intelligence, but its YouTube...

[bkroone206]

Milk 'n blood.

[jamironited4]

Hahahaha this is not the American Civil War. Its more like Waterloo or somethin. They were carrying british flags... too early for Russian revolution, too late for civil war or American revolution, and thats just by the looks of it. Its actually probably not meant to represent any war in particular, but its from Napoleonic times if any.

[fanboy2177721]

What a sad situation that people think this is the American civil War. Stay in school people, or change schools. LMAO

[shannonjazz]

not the milk boy nooooooooooooooo

awesome song

[malpas46]

It's about the American Civil War

[luuko656]

i think its about the russian revolution...even though you see the british flags...

[RaloBruit]

Actually Sergio Pizzorno (the bassist if I remember correctly) said that this was set during one of the Crimean wars.

[iamexploited]

no he is the guitarist, but the information is correct. ;)

[RaloBruit]

Oh, well at least I was half-right.

[MRmad4tar]

the bassist!? hes the best freakin guitarist around atm!!

[czar9109]

They werent fighting the americans or the french smart one

[shisaman]

oooooo latin at the end.

someone had a nice education.

[armydave]

Wilfred Owen poem right? WW1..

It is sweet and proper to die for ones country

Good old comprehensive school!!!

[pacewilliams]

were they fighting the french or america in this video?

[1andonlykaziersoze]

british vs yanks

[pacewilliams]

so thats american?

[MRmad4tar]

wow serger looks reli evil at 2:30 !!

[bestyleeds]

Cunts!

[xbleachedxbloodx]

bloody hand holding a violin bow....absolutely brilliant!

[elmersglue16]

aww hes cute being all tuff and stuff

[codedbox]

this videos remember me one of the latest clips from Coldplay... I don't know, maybe it's the same style the use, in military clothing... I just can see the pattern SONY BMG is using.

[ninosM1]

this song is addictive

[yvetteclaire]

This clip is like WOW. Very awesome song :)

[armarpgBlink]

it is sweet and proper to die for the fatherland

biggest lie any army came up with

[maidenofthemist]

i hate how youtube puts ads before a video starts.

BTW what does the words at the end mean?

[dirtymonkey55]

i dont know why any one would want to die for england!

[sblang1]

this band has rather strange music videos, but they sound awesome.

[JAMTAM]

"What a just and seemingly thing to die for ones country"

[PocketsOfBlue]

Tom reminds me of Ewan McGregor...that's not a bad thing :)

[LiwamGeebon]

lol kinda does

[aliiena]

is great... now Tom is really cute =D

[georgo342]

damn straight its not a bad thing cos ewan mcgregors OBI WAN KENOBI

[antimonymedia]

As well as the singer looking a lot hotter, the kid who gets shot at the start is a great actor for his age, too.

[crispynipples89]

the singer is cooler with short hair and beard

[ANANASJE1985]

i agree

[antimonymedia]

DEFINITELY! He looks like the Sgt Sharpe character from the BBC series :)

[elviraprincesdlanuit]

really awesome vid and good music, I luv this band! ♥♥♥

[rwoacrocks]

At 2:04...when Tom takes off his jacket....swooooon!!!

[fabbygirl43]

im sure a dead person would put their hands out to break their fall XD!!

[zzrocker10zz]

well their arms arent gonna be stiff and still like a board haha

[Bullethail]

Well if you want to be really, really, technical, it is possible. :o

[magicpie77]

tom is acting after all. you wouldn't smash your face in just for a split second of a death scene would you? i know i wouldn't!

[kratois]

who says he died right away? maybe he just was left to bleed out

[retroboydeccles]

awesome ive gota get some tickets for them

[twilightfan4eva1]

i went to see them at a gig in maidavale it was amazin and he shook my hand and winked at me :p

[Knux57]

Playing a guitar with a violin bow? AWESOME!

[jambi880]

Yeah Jimmy Page did it 30 years ago.

[berryyellow]

yeah gud song but y is the bad guy character gay?

[rosullMIMI]

i love how it ends

[ali14hottie]

Amazing video , Love the song

[BennyLFC1984]

anybody know what the message says at the end? brilliant video to an awesome song! kasabian forever!

[blackberrylemon]

the message says that is is sweet & honourable to die for your motherland.

yeah, kasabian forever! genius band.

[shar0285]

i think that message is rather stupid.

but kasabian as a band is pretty decent.

[rollieloughran]

[askpie34]

motavativ and sad

[brandonboyd4ever]

[kathygal12]

This song kicks ase!! It rox me sox :D (and the lead singer well PHOW!)

[viscera0eyes]

whoever made this has a very good feeling on how to transport emotions with pictures.

[joeyboiwiv]

fuckin love it

[dnm25]

have kasabian always been this political?

[mavericknoone]

yep

[RinoMacEight]

its an own war... like punks versus the politics. i think it will demonstrate that not allways the big "parties" are the best...

[gottatwinky]

wut war is this

[unurautare]

I'm guessing its probably the Crimean war vs. Russia but I'm not sure :\

[dylanofwomen]

your correct, i believe there uniforms are that of the 11th hussars... i could be wrong though, thats Romania though, i recognize it.

[Wolfie123123]

Bravo for the uniform, but that valley could be anywhere in the world.

[SwiftDx]

Ausome Song!

[lnForTheLongFaul]

Love it.

[HugoS87]

i dnt think it would be. but i dont think there would wars it would all just chilled we wouldn't have 2 worry bout nuked by fukin AL-fukin-QUEIDA(however its spelled) suicide bombers.

[dylanofwomen]

Al-Queda is a myth

[HugoS87]

has any 1 ever thought what the world would be like if women ruled the world?

[dylanofwomen]

how do you know they don't?

[kakaze]

Even more violent.

[hellstudios]

[ApolloMinolo]

hahahaha omg lol i agree

[lewismclarney]

i av

[mrmezman]

random

[nbciren]

how the whole album is geared towards war e.g shoot the runner

[dylanofwomen]

[eLLph]
