The Black Angels, "First Vietnamese War"

[PBrandonR]

someone tries to take over every thing you own and kill you, wat are you going to do? Oh that's right nothin! Because your to fat and slow to fight back I'm not calling any one fat or slow I'm just saying with out war we would of been taken over by now by god knows who

[PBrandonR]

We survive by going to war, since the beginning of time we been at war all it's ever done is us survive and help us get smarter sure we lose ppl in the process but we lose ppl every day regardless of war, with out war we would be defenseless it's like working out you lose muscle in the procces but you gain more over time as you heal witch makes you strong, ok now think about it you dont work out for about 3 or 4 years, you become fat and slow and then bam all of a sudden someone tries to take o

[PBrandonR]

So what, wars bad. I really don't care I plan on going to war so to tell you the truth I can care less if you don't like it because with out war there's no life. Do you know the real reason we go to war the truth behind it all?

[steveguardi]

one: PBrandonR has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. two: he cannot spell simple words such as terrorist (a word he probably loves to capitolize his emotions and lack of identity on) three: fuck killing people, that's insane and weird four: the black angels are excellent on recording and live five: war is war, and fighting is irrational and bought about by weak mindedness

[Appclypse]

@steveguardi I agree with a lot you said. But i am convinced that fighting is truly ingrained in human nature. Evolution has carved our behaviour and I'm sure that killing is unfortunately and horribly a part of that sculpture, those who killed survived better. It creates a predisposition. Why do you think it's so easy to bring kind hearted young men to war? Because part of them wants it. Whatever excuses they give few will admit that fact.

It's a very dark part of human nature.

[PBrandonR]

Because I would like to know

[PBrandonR]

The reason y we wet to war against afghan and Iraq was because of terrioust they attacked us first we went asked there government to help us get them or we go to war and gettim our self they say no there u go that's way I see if I got it wrong tell me don't get super ticked of or something that's the way I see it like I said if u see it different tell me

[weaselfierce]

@PBrandonR Kids.. this is what "leave no child behind" did to american spelling. Please don't let it happen to your kids.

[invanz0]

Games like cod are pretty much war profiteers. Especially if they perceive one sided story's. They let you kill nazi's, people are raised to hate nazi's: easy game. Vietnam on the other hand was not popular because 70% of the 'enemy' killed were civilians. We did terrible things to the Vietnamese, they did terrible things back. I wonder why they never covered the phoenix program, how many innocents were brutally massacred. Its so selective it might as well be propaganda. We should find new games

[egondog]

love this song epic

[rastafury17]

this song shoulda been on the CoD:Black Ops OST. (i don't want to cause controversy)

this band kick's ass in every way.

i'm from austin. they're from austin. i don't know how the fuck i haven't seen them live

[MrNecrobutcher666]

nice track

[YornMan]

Shocking to see that guy burn himself to death. Just shocking

[depret5]

nice nice nice...

[anuragyadav84]

The video brings in the reality and fact to the world... Thanks for sharing the Vietnam event in this short video form of a song..

[whispsmith]

Sick song...sick video

[pimpjuicehere]

Anyone know : are the chord E-D-C; somewhere online saying B-D-C, but sound like E to me.

[Cade99999]

@jalin27 This is a combination of pure awesomeness (a.k.a. the psych-rock band The Black Angels) with historical footage of 'Nam. In short, education that doesn't hurt your ears and kicks ass. My senior year is such a bitch right now with college essays, but this band makes everything alright.

[jalin27]

im 12 years old and what is this?

[thaHIGHLITEREEL]

wtf is @ 1:14?

[82ndarmy]

@momowasapedo dam lol i fucked up bad, communists there lol

[Frostfullofit]

I was watching the Kink Jetlagged video.. this song came up and I was like.. "Damn".. not only do I love BMX, but this song is awesome.. people need to know the history!

[pimpjuicehere]

I for one can abide someone so in favor of the vietnam war.

[pimpjuicehere]

why does he love vietnam so much, alot of people died there.

btw is the chick drummer hot?

[citizentrenostrash]

why is this flagged? lets just take the wars out of the history books too. infant.

[82ndarmy]

we only lost vietnam because the american people were disgracing everything. there protesting of the war made it un-fightable.

P.S. FUCK COMMUNITS AND EVERYTHING THEY BELIEVE

[seabasstin]

@82ndarmy you are pretty dumb aren't you? Communist might have sucked but the US disgraced itself there... just like in Iraq. pretty sad.

People who "Hate" communist, pretty much miss the point, as communism failed, its gone, but what is not gone is the memory of the atrocities caused in vietnam, laos, Korea, and cambodia in the fight against "Communism".

Its over the commies lost.

now fess up to your crimes, fool.

[82ndarmy]

@seabasstin your right its horrible the things that happened in all of those wars. but the only reason they seem worse is that there are videos of them now. that shows what really happens in war. so dont desrespect all of those heroes because you dont like what happens in war.

[seabasstin]

@82ndarmy

I am sorry if it seemed like I was disrespecting those who have fought so hard for the honor of our country, but this was not my intention.

My specific point was that the historical significance of "communism" as the "enemy" is at this point a distraction from the real enemies of humanity at this point.

Communism is gone. Communism has failed. It will never come back. (despite the insane assertions of Glenn Beck, Sara Palin and other misguided snake oil salesmen.)

[seabasstin]

@82ndarmy

Vietnam, Korea and all of the proxy wars which where fought between the US and the communist powers are now long past.

Communism LOST.

The USSR/Soviet Union has now been gone for 20years, China, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Cambodia, El Salvador, etc have all become capitalist countries. (authoritarian but)

Communism has long since been a treat to the capitalist model, due to the work of a lot of different people including all the soldiers who died and fought for the USA.

[seabasstin]

@82ndarmy

WAR is the only real enemy.

Iraq, Pakistan, Afganistan, Sri Lanka, Columbia, Sudan, Tchad, etc all these war torn Nations, are not victims of Communism, they are victims of WAR.

War is the only enemy.

Humanity has had no need for wars since WWII.

Korea & Vietnam where perfect examples of its horrors on a large scale.

Now we have Iraq and Afganistan furthering this point.

What has been accomplished with war in these nations?

Who won? What was won? Land? Natural Resources?

Anything?

[seabasstin]

@82ndarmy

War serves no purpose but sustaining fear, terror, and loathing, hatred, revenge, anger.

It's only service is to greed.

Funding the weapons industry.

Which in itself serves no purpose but fund new wars, to stroke new conflicts.

Humanity has to go beyond violence at this point.

The only way to honor all those who have died, all those who have lost loved ones, all those whose life where shattered by WAR; is with the eradication of large scale violence from the human experience.

[seabasstin]

@82ndarmy

I am thankful to the people who have served their country with honor and dignity.

I am deeply respectful of the sacrefices of those who fought against enemies of the ideals of the United States of America which I love so much.

But I also recognize that grave mistakes where made in the past and presently.

And that despite the nature of our enemies, are not to be excused for being done at the service of our country.

To become Hitler to defeat Him is a victory for Hitler. not for the US.

[easymelon2187]

fuck LBJ and fuck Nixon.

[anhtuan962]

I'm a Vietnamese. Sad but true :(

[preetis6]

EPIC

[steven8807]

A Rumor of War By Philip Caputo. Good book reflecting the Vietnam era. Good story.

A little slow on the first two chapters. Picks up good on the third chapter.

[set6the6word6afire]

focus on peace remember vietnam

no US

[Creamlistner]

very powerful song, video fits well

[buttsCratcher9]

What a crative psychidelic piece of art, visually. This song is powerful musically and should be represented visually. I agree that flagging this video is another way of underminding your own tolerance.

[723cielo]

Okay, I just realized that everytime I play this video I scroll down to the bottom, read comments, or get busy on another tab/window.

So yeah I've seen this video only once or twice, and I couldn't bear to watch again. I only complained (impulsively) because flagging means that the friends with whom I want to share this music/band/video with, will have to create a YT account if they don't already have one...

[723cielo]

the person who flagged this = IDIOT.

[dmx1910]

er well there is someone burning alive in it haha. who knows

[723cielo]

My eyes have suffered more violent, horrendous scenes in Facebook. I'm talking about violence and gruesome videos.

The younger kids are the ones who keep them going. If they can bear watching people cut heads off of bodies......

Ugh I don't wanna think about it now.

[723cielo]

By "keep them going" I mean keep them circulating.

[meranda0484]

Oh god, this video breaks my heart. D:

[greendayrpunk]

fuck america, a bounch of fucking parazits sucking the life out of this planet . die die die all of you , we must get rid of the last evil empire .

[octagon79]

greenday 'r' not punk.

[greendayrpunk]

so what?

[octagon79]

so that!

[underscore111]

LOL ok greendayrpunk

[MrWrasse101]

great music I love the sound!! wish they were touring in the us this year

[rhymenosify]

br00tal!

[rayexcellente]

this clip is heavy, kudos

[therealcharismatron]

Great track. Send all politicians and fundamentalists to fight their own lousy wars and see how long they last. Maybe then the rest of us can finally have some peace.

Maybe. Peace!

[katich5]

WHO THE FUCK FLAGGED THIS AWSOMENESS!!!...This KISS SERIOUS ASS!

[finker282]

great video great song.

[jonniemoz]

Fantastic Song.

[OmgRainsockWtf]

Whoever flagged this for content is a f*cking retard. This is HISTORY. People NEED to know about history, lest it happen again. What needs FLAGGED, are these stupid ass rap videos with women being treated like tools, gang fights and violence. Don't see that happening though. Ignorance, I swear to gahd.

[iburl]

History has happened again. Bush learned NOTHING from VietNam.

[krusader17]

wether he was after oil or not. an evil dictator is no longer controlling a weak country. everything else there is pointless but at least some good came from iraq.

[KenCat1337]

Obama learned nothing either, he just sent 19,000 troops to Afghanistan and prolonged the Iraq war.

Peace and love.

[iburl]

You're right. Afghanistan is Obama's Vietnam.

[JayKay0010]

Republicans and Democrats are both war mongers

[EpicChef]

you probably voted for him

[KenCat1337]

No, I did not vote for him. I oppose social hierarchy and war.

And why is my comment -3 if it just contains facts?

[Th3SundanceKid]

true!

[HeyJaw]

Neither of you know what the hell you are talking about. If anything we needed to be in Afghanistan the whole time we were in Iraq, where we had no business being. I know because I served.

[abschmit]

60,000 men died

while you all hid

you came into our homes

and you took our kids...

[itthewayiam]

fu*king awesome. fu*king awesome.

[timmyjonson]

not half bad :)

[mkennedystevens]

I wish there was a special category for flagging videos, titles WARNING THIS SONG SUCKSSSSS!!!!!

[grin60]

lol, i wouldn't flag this vid, but nice idea :D

[monkey3410]

This damn band hasnt even seen vietman. Why is gods green earth are they singing about it. So we can get a freakin drum circle going

[sillyblackguy]

omg lol should of kept the comment to ur self they didnt have to be there to sing about it thats just like sayin i cant sing a song about burger king cuhz i never been there

[lasfinisimas]

So are you supossed to just shut up about all the things that you'd never lived? Oh well that's great

[miryjung]

I'm loving this band more and more, great song!

[p2street]

whats this song from???? a movie or something ???? help me out

[lovecedu]

just discovered this band.. they are SICK! love this track!

[scroteshorton]

Just reading some of these reminds me that I love America but god damn do I hate most americans.

[drfunkenstein124]

i'm sick of all the americans are dumb comments, yes there are many, many dumb americans. but every country has its share of dumb people. and my biggest point: you can't call anybody dumb or stupid if you can't even write a correct sentence, i.e "USA ARE FAT MORONS". take a good hard look at yourself before saying something about somebody else.

[sreymmot1]

god americans are idiots.

[VCvictors]

idiots more than you think, i lIve here. USA ARE FAT MORONS

[nowwithmorekick]

i live in the US too and Fat people are minority and in lots of other countries MCdonalds and KFC make more money then in the US.

[HeyJaw]

You are wrong on that front, my friend. I've been overseas a lot and the only fat people I saw were military wives. There were a few hefty old people but they're old, it happens. But no fat, fat, fat people or even remotely fat people. And I've never seen a busy KFC or Mcdonalds overseas either. Not when you have better street food and other food all around.

[nowwithmorekick]

MCdonalds is just as big if not bigger in Japan sane with KFC but i will grant you that they make there food in healthier ways over.I see immigrants from all over Africa south America and Europe and i will see just as many fat people from those places come into were i work as i do people who were born in this country.

[HeyJaw]

Yeah, HERE you do, because they let themselves be Americanized. Over there not so much.

[sahandn9]

Maybe you should start turning away from the mirror!

[PlannedObsolescence]

Including all the members of this band?

[MadClue]

they want to give us this chip smaller then a grain of rice and it balance out your cash they can take money when ever and theyll know where you live where your going theyre gonna force your way of living the vietnamese war was also for no reason just cuz there communist?? the answer is blood money this is not the land of the free its the FUCKING LAND OF THE SLAVES!!!

[MadClue]

ok we fought in the vietnamese war for a supposly a good reason but tell me about the iraq war why are we fighting them its not cuz of the twin towers everyone knows it was the stupid president who did that we all know its cuz for oil money is the root of all evil this iraq war is for blood money if the bank have never of done a stupid law that makes them have debt every time you loan and even when you pay them back theyll still have debt

they lied to us in every way an im suppose to be happy?

[superjeff5000]

vietnam wasn't for a good reason, it was an illegal war which we lost. But iraq is pretty much the same :)

Oh, and Im pretty sure that this isin't the ACTUAL video, it looks homemade.

[scroteshorton]

Because you've obviously been to Vietnam and Iraq and you follow it day to day from every source of media possible.

[superjeff5000]

im just saying that the song is better than the video, thats the point that im trying to get across :)

[vadodgecowboy]

Hey pull a clue out of your ass dumb fuck!!! it's called terrorism that we are fightin still don't get it?? I'll take you to numerous vetrans of operation iraqi freedom they will steer you right.

[finker282]

You lose at life. "I'll take you". pfftt. Warmonger!

[sillyblackguy]

yea they will say terrorist come from different country not IRAQ i have a father and a couple buddies there and they all said the terrorist come from other places around IRAQ and yea the IRAQ WAR is bullshit its just another country are government is trying to help(CONTROL)

[justicehutress123]

_This stupid video probably made by some anti-war bastards. They should all be sent to North Korea!!! _Communist was a real threat to the world at that time. The domino theory is correct. The fall of Saigon, South VN, leads to the falls of some South East Asian coutries in South East Asia into Communism( Burma, Laos, Combodia..). _Communists have been killing more than 100 millions people. If you have experienced the Communist Re-education Camps, you will hate them like I do now.

[arandhill]

great song!

shocking video

[Oneshot112]

First it was the French, then it was the Americans. The westerners really ravaged the country during the 1900s. But atleast now Vietnam is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and is considered the new Asian tiger.

[ShammShamm]

A blend of Neil Young and Jim Morrison,with a dash of R.E.M...Rage against the war-machine. If we kill the cave-man in us will we die too?I guess we must morph into either Jesus or Shitler.

[superjeff5000]

Ah yes, the evil "Shitler"

[noobfla]

muito show essa banda.. muito sucesso aqui no brasill vlws...

[volume91]

2,758,000 died. ive never said anything about communists, i only said that usa went out because they didnt want to lose more soldiers. duude read.

[volume91]

Morons, Vietnam was about to turn in to a communist country, Usa came to help the south defeat the north which was occupated by the communist (Ho chi minh). North won because Usa didn't want to lose more soldiers... Btw, Great song and video... where did u get the footage? if i could have them for my school project, it would be great.

[ocularity]

And nothing's worse than being a communist-- not even being blown into fist-sized chunks. Hey volume, how many people died in the VN War? Wanna guess? Something like 3 million.

[bigbadbboy126]

who are you calling morons, communist is just a word the government tried to use to scare the people (successfully) just like they are using terrorist now. It's all a big pile of bullshit being used to run this fear state. Not to say that we're all that bad either, we just are.

[instantjellojazz]

This sounds like the outro to ador by the smashing pumpkins....

[dragster58]

We all know who lost that war don't we!!!

PEACE TO ALL!!

[dwornica80]

Yeah, the kids.

[dragster58]

Nope...everyone:)

[purplemushroomcloud]

Whoever flagged this as inappropriate, please do us all a favor, and kill yourself, suck on a shotgun, anything, just do it.

[nihilisticglamour]

best band of my generation so far....

[wordtwister]

What a great montage!! Someone should push Bush's face in Iraqi blood. The Black Angels rock!

[MiniJacks123]

O YA COULDN'T AGREE MORE!

[daydreamin345]

I really dont know that much bout the Vietnamese War bout from what I know it sounds like the U.S.A really screwed the Vietnamese people over. (and yes i do come from U.S.A so no im not bashing people who served in the war of anything)

[retroaficionado]

Why the heck do you have to be over 18 to watch this?

All it is is press images.

I smell conspiracy.

[Oneshot112]

I don't know.. it might have been the burning monk, or the corpse rolling down the hill, or innocent Vietnamese getting abused by soldiers, or the image of severely burned children running naked down a road.

[hoctor]

Hey wildass, big man sitting out there, why don't you follow the action buddy of gun-toting red meat red staters that worship Bush and head for Afganland and Eye Racka Freedumb(er), strap one on brother, IRAQ-NAM FOREVER, what are you going to remember from this period? I will probably remember how great this video is...rock on

[napalm69]

This is VERY good!

[hoctor]

Outragous...when does Kissinger stand trial for this??

[manuelonizuka]

korean made their fortune with vietnamese blood..

[dannymai2000]

[Kapila]

Great video, great message, love it!

[cum2roll]

I am 100% behind noblindeye; we must impeach Bush and he, along with many in his administration must be put on trial for crimes against humanity. Great band; great message. McNamara, Sec. Of Def. 4 95%of Vietnam recently posed the?@What makes it immoral u loose,but moral if u win?Watch 'Fog Of War,' about him=incredible.

[willdus]

Fuck You... Live with the though of your FATHER, OLDER BROTHER, NEVER to return to the U.S.A. on their feet! This is an asshole response to include this Presdent in something that was finished in the '70's. Only a fool would make such a uninformed responsed to a fact that had nothing to with the present day.

[M4Nmbr56]

Are you serious?? what kind of drugs are you on??? Crimes against humanity Get fucking Real!!!

[shlnmastakilla]

usa does what it wants shut the fuck up

[noblindeye]

Impeach and Try for War Crimes

[thebrab]

Right on. Music and lyrics merge well with the video. Umbearable but real. Violence is a stain on humanity. Stop the war profiteers NOW!

[jimlappin]
