Radiohead- You and Whose Army?

[BeholdZeus]

Radiohead would despise this video given that it doesn't contain a single western leader. Where's Kissinger, Blair, Bush, Thatcher, Pinochet? In the words of Radiohead, 'go to sleep'.

[desertezz]

@BeholdZeus

It showed Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, and the Serbian guy and a few others I couldnt recognize.

[BeholdZeus]

@desertezz And not a single western leader. Double standards indeed. Clearly whoever made this has no idea just how much Radiohead despised Bush, Blair and cohorts. Do they appear? Of course not!

[MikkkkyB]

@BeholdZeus Pinochet maybe but Mao oversaw 80,000,000 deaths according to some. Stalin 40,000,000, Pol Pot, Castro, Tito, Ho Chi Minh, - the commies were always worse. I don't think anyone you've mentioned oversaw those numbers! (they have blood on their hands certainly but not to the extreme of others).

[sigurbleeds]

@BeholdZeus I think it's implied with the shaking of hands between Rumsfeld and Hussein!

[WickedLiquid]

This song (IMO) is the most uplifting track of any Radiohead song. It starts out depressing because of how fucked up our world is, but then makes you want to get up and fight back! Because there is good in this world, and we are all capable of changing out planet for the better!

[LunaSophia79]

Te salio super chingon el video... Amazing video!

[RadioFawda]

should've been more objective with your images, mate.

[ILLct]

If U.S. empire was represented in this video, it might not come across as American propaganda to motivate more pointless wars against "evil."

[segbastian]

this is amazing! the nazi knights en' all! the whole idea/picture! great editing - like a jigsaw falling into place. keep up the good work!

[PoodleMaster67]

You know youre a great musician when fans can make music videos about war and your song would add the perfect touch of sorrow to the video.

[Silverfucker]

you missed all the US presidents

[aaronreyesramos]

Great video!

[trumpetking11]

Who's the tyrant they mention at the end?

[MatBitesDog]

@trumpetking11 It's not actually part of the song, but it's from newsreel footage about the execution of Mussolini.

[getsdhc]

@MatBitesDog Mussolini was ejecuted?! Fuck yeha! :D

[MozasFury]

The one guy who disliked this........ just fuck off

[Ecardsful]

I always think of Kid A and Amnesiac as true early 21st century soundtracks. I can't think of another album, with the exception of Godspeed! You Black Emperor's Yanqui UXO, that captures the melancholy and general sense of foreboding of the past ten years as well as those two albums.

[NuXta]

Thank you ~

[AnyDayKnow]

Humans are amazing right..........

[phishphan17]

this is amazing, absolutely spectacular... thom yorke would be proud

[ShcradedSheepsBlade]

Wow this really IS one of the best things on youtube...i will always think of this as the music video especially the Tiananmen Square part(s). Love the song and the video. great job

[lilymarlenster]

I'm so sad now :'(

[xarabas]

so beautiful and sad :(

[immelol4]

whats the scene at 2:20

great video also

[MatBitesDog]

@immelol4 That was from footage from a documentary I got from teachertube about the Berlin Wall. I can't remember the link, sorry (I made this years ago) but I believe the East German guards threw tear gas onto the western side while a bunch of people were escaping, and the people were throwing it back.... could be wrong, but I'm almost postive.

[rht992]

great work. this is the best fan made video i've seen on here!

[sdabestani]

this is seriously one of the best things on youtube i've ever seen.

i cant NOT see this playing in my head every time i hear this song, and i wouldn't have it any other way.

[MatBitesDog]

@sdabestani Aw, thanks

[Juanito8290]

[cuete27]

Great video. Although, it's a bummer the images have little or no relation with the song's lyrics or gist.

[MatBitesDog]

In my head as I listen to this song, I've always thought of it as sort of a mournful protest song. So for me it has lots of relation :)

[sdabestani]

@MatBitesDog

a year later, and im still inspired, currently working on my own version of a video like this.

thanks- humanity

[TheMobiusMan]

Excellent depiction of the righteousness of the human spirit and it's crave for freedom.

[MrSamuelRice]

hot damn! any more huge words? :D love it.

[TheMobiusMan]

Yes, I possess an excruciatingly large vocabulary, consisting of 6 languages.

[MrSamuelRice]

holy moly. good work with that. im envious.

:)

well, at least we can all apprecitate Thom Yorke, no matter what language he wants to sing. (though english is good. :)

[TheMobiusMan]

Definitely. Although... sometimes it IS impossible to understand what he's saying... especially in no surprises. The lyrics are like "It's a large brain, full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you" and it sounds like "It's a long walk, full of mrmrmr that chocolate slowly kills you" it took me watching the House premiere with captions to learn the lyrics I'd had stuck in my head were wrong.

[MatBitesDog]

I don't even want to admit how many radiohead songs I've had wrong in my head.

[TheMobiusMan]

The only clear one I know is Creep, and that's thanks to the acoustic version, where they cut the cursing out for some reason.

[donmega11]

@TheMobiusMan and apparently you still got the lyrics wrong...

[MrSamuelRice]

i apologise for the last comment. im just a retard who has no appreciation for this incredible song or for Thom Yorke.

:)

cheers lads

[MrSamuelRice]

These guys blow ass.

I would commit suicide if I listened to this

more then once.

[HailToTheBends]

By the way, as a massive Radiohead and history fan --> 5 stars for this vid!

[MatBitesDog]

Thanks so much. I just watched this again for the first time in a long time and realized I included tank man twice! I guess, because he's suitably epic, It's no big deal.

[HailToTheBends]

Yeah it's no big deal at all. Tank man, hero

[laokratwr]

you got nice democrat state there "bullshit comments like mao-stalin-hitler were innocent"

so hitler and these guys were the exact same shit?

ok nice

well this is what george w bush (or obama) and sarkozi believes: "nazism = communism"

whuy dont you ask thom yorke beliefs about that asshole?

[MatBitesDog]

Don't really get your point.

Each of them killed, ruined, tortured, and corrupted an unimaginable number of people.

It has nothing to do with ideaology.

I'm not so sure you understand english?

[MatBitesDog]

Also, I agree the deleting comments is wrong, but while I was gathering footage I came across enough holocaust deniers and blind nationalists forgiving these horrible peoples actions, I wanted to make it clear that I am not going to tolerate it.

[HailToTheBends]

laokratwr: I do not think equalizing mao, stalin or hitler in terms of their political convictions was what the creator of this video intended to say. No matter whether they were right or left wing: they were all dictators. So you see, history taught us that you cannot say that left is better or just as good as right. I.e. Khomeini, he was neither communist nor nazi (in the "classical" sense), nevertheless after the Islamic Revolution he ordered to kill anyone who did not share this ideology.

[hashiepashi]

wonderfully done, excellent way to showcase the progression in it , from the dead opressed part in the beginning, to the fully formed alive ending.

Great job buddeh.

[steinmeleon]

Astounding film, me as a TV production student am impressed for the historical depth of it...

[MatBitesDog]

Thanks! It took a lot of time to gather the footage and try to find moments that were both powerful and sort of easily identifiable at the same time, though some of them are rather obscure because of either the video quality or lack of context.

[Scott17quebec]

American amry is cruel! They are training killers!

How magnific is this song.

[MatBitesDog]

hey, hows Quebec? I'm thinking of moving there this year.

[Scott17quebec]

Ho, it's nice. As long as you can support our winters :P There's nothing very special... But if you would be like, more precise, I could tell you what you want to know.

[fuckcarrots82]

Yeah, as other country's army teaches them to give hugs right?.....

[Scott17quebec]

Well Canadian army was peaceful since they joigned americans. But that's because of our american-wannabe prime minister.

[shurednichso]

Not one of the US American crueltys in the past.

How shocking!

[MatBitesDog]

Except the nuking of Japan and the American government meeting/supporting Sadam and the Shah.

There's also some video from Ken. State.

It's all pretty blurry and fast though, so I'm sure its easy to miss.

[gyouryj]

your a genious. very moving. excellent song. one of Radiohead's finest.

[sdabestani]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

[Well108]

Beautiful video. The scene at 2:21 was amazing. 5/5

[derris]

so violent gosh !!

[gv1c]

Well done indeed. 5 stars

[ojizzzle]
