  • STOP OBAMA NOW!

  • I remember.....Nam ....I hoped I would never see that again in my life.....

  • We've had Baez, Dylan et al but for protest songs - this one wins easily - what a legacy.

  • The added SFX were unnecessary.

  • I find this difficult to masturbate to.

  • @Wolfy670 Not mee :)

  • 2012, Democrats MUST HOLD THE LINE, -on the eve of possible tea drinking GOP killing our last chance!

  • too many faggots infested with Aids spreading their diseases, mothers aborting their babies, the wicket supreme court says it all okay.

  • @thincow12 Also,GOP going tea bag facist!

  • My whole family is military .. Maj General Henry Knox was the 1st Secretary of War in 1776, my dad 28 yr war vet, my brothers 30 yrs/39 yrs war vets, myself Special Forces "A" Team medic .... I have been fighting in the same places over and over .. it never seems to end ... I"m 58 this year ... my girlfriend is 19, yeah 19 cause I have never been stateside long enough to find someone .. and I fight to protect her and her family, my family, and your family ... I'm almost done here,..

  • Believe it or not my father sang this song to me as a lullabye

  • @TheEverLearning I like your comment.

  • I enjoy the song, however, I am annoyed by the fact the sound of the video of combat is merged with the video with just that single section, muting out the song itself.

  • And how do we protect those women there basic rights?

  • written in 1965, weird how it is still relevent

  • @Nighthawkandvultron

    Nah...people will always have other people killing and dying...just the circle of life, albeit a sad one.

  • @PotterPossum1989 - Couldn't have said it better myself...The Rothschild family!! Keep it up!!

  • No we can all do something about this. We do not need to go down the path of self destruction. Lets all work to make this a reality....

  • listen learn act

  • Whats the solution then? Keep people oppressed? All the speaches in the world can't stop a person from wanting basic rights.

  • you are screwing yourselves in egypt it doesn't take much to see that your going to turn into the crappie soviet union (russia) you people need a strong leader not chaos it will never be the same.

  • @Magnifico12312 revolution does not always end in comunism. Take a look at the french and american revolutions, they gave us democracy and freedom. hopefully the same will happen in egypt.

  • @jacklondonfan1 Since when is communism anti-democracy and anti-freedom? You've been brainwashed by the United States capitalist pigs, planet-destroying propaganda machinists. Communism is the ultimate democracy and the only true freedom.  Read Karl Marx. And watch some Marx Brothers movies.

  • @etbella3 You are either joking or the biggest retard I have ever seen in my life.

  • @etbella3 i did not mean to call marxism as described in the manifesto to be bad , but in most cases throughout history communism fell to corruption and greed as it did in the ussr cuba and north Korea. as winston churchil once said, "democracy is the worst form of government, save for all the rest."

  • @etbella3 "Except For Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism, and Communism, WAR has Never Solved Anything".

    God Bless Our Troops!

  • @Helismoke Nazism is still alive today.. called Neo Nazi's... Russia and Cuba are still communistic countries, as well is South Africa.... Slavery is alive in every country, including this one... even though it's subtle... so the original quote that Bella made holds true... the only thing War solves is population control.. period.

  • We the people have faith to offer, profound and all encompassing. Yes shadow it has, but it continues to grow shorter and shorter with each and every breath you

    draw ! ;)

  • Don't fight for politicians. Fight against politicians.

  • @alisoakita Join the politician assassins' fan club. See the tree how big it's grown. Natural Born Killers kill for Mother Nature.

  • as soneone who grew up in the 60s and 70s its sadening to see we have not learned anything at al.l this song and dylans  "times they are a changing" make me paiinfully awear

  • I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

  • @justingarman I'm no religious man, hell I'm far from being the biblical definition of Christianity. But something about that verse intrigues me to no end.

  • love the song but way shitty video

  • Well, THERE ya go, catlitters! Get rid of the PEOPLE and everything'll be jake! BRILLIANT! BTW, I first heard this song FORTY-FIVE frikkin' YEARS ago! 'Been one loooooong "eve"! :-D

    Norm

  • @theshadow1932 Well said!

  • fuck god, this is reality!

  • is no one listenen

  • i am the only one bothered

  • When......iI can't believe this is still goin on

  • When......

  • Can i just say.. how do u feel that this is still going on . We-the people- have no say in the running of this world. We all live on this planet but we all leave it up to the POLITICIANS and i use the word loosley to runrevolting job the show. They are doin a revolting job. Look around you....

  • @linderella54 Well, why don't you become one, then?

  • wot in the hell can we do governments do us over

  • Psalm 44:9; "But now you [God] have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies." Matthew 5:44-45; "pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." Leviticus 26:15-20; ...if your soul abhors My ordinances... I, in turn, will do this to you:.. sudden terror... I will also break down your pride of power... Your strength will be spent uselessly,"

  • hey welcome to  world disintergration

  • goodbye all

  • i hate to say it but war is part of humanity in the time before time our ancestors fought with animals to survive, war came with humans, but nukes suck !!!!

  • This song puts a knot in my guts! Barry McGuire's haunting lyrics bring back old nightmares. I remember nuclear attack drills in elementary school in the '50s, and TV documentaries on the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb showing mass destruction that scared the hell out of me as a kid. Later, when I saw the movie "On The Beach", I knew we were on our way to extinction. Nothing has changed, except that the threat of nuclear terrorism is more terrible than any past nuclear threat. God help us!

  • Curiously, even those who state they are "nonviolent" often have no problem killing mosquitoes, cockroaches, molds, fungi, and bacteria, going so far as to take antibiotics whose sole purpose is to KILL bacteria. Everybody decides what is consistent or not. Ban penicillin! Free bacteria now!

  • something just came to my head right now..........first off, let me say this song is as relevant today as it was back then. now, what i wanted to say is that we indeed have become more brainwashed. during the vietnam war, thousands of students were protesting nationwide and most protesters were students. but theres no students protesting the war in iraq today. we truly have become more and more controlled by the govt. its scary but its true. the govt is doing a good job in tightening its grip

  • marfinan lol. it is true, but... cmon theres good in the world,you make it sound like the shittiest shithole on planet cocks.by the way, this is a great song 0- and should ONLY BE SUNG BY BARRY MCGUIRE! all other bands singing this is a mockery in my opinion.

  • i have said so many times we will neva win this war

  • @linderella54 not with all the soldiers over there!

  • if any more countries get NUKES, we will see a whole new world war ... a very bad one ...

  • @HGRPhotography1 haha, yes.

  • Sad, but true. As long as we've been a country, we've had violence and blood. Everytime we visit places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, etc., we fight and kill. It's a wonder the world is still here. We're no different from the people we're fighting against.

  • a song for all time, if you don't learn from history, you will repeat it

  • Phx az goverment is about to put a vote before it people,goverment is about to change in its self,I see a day of truth for all comeing,an Big changes soon ,Goverment DRONES are cast down to support themselfes by working labor,the honest liveing for all to live by and ho yes all the stupidty will be gone,Lawers an scam men will be gone,.police will be without inforcement taticks like cars,yea ha buddy there is a day ahead when everyone will pull there weight,no prisons ,just death for Rebels

  • hey..... peace or wot...

  • but don't all you people see that all those who pass the laws don't live in the real world they make laws for us that don't affect them. we keep the countrys running so they can have the lifestyle they want.

  • People are saying is America is losing the war well i don't think that LONG LIVE AMERICA!!! HOME OF THE APPLE PIE

  • Hell in a hand basket.... "greed" and more greed .... and even more greed.... the meek will inherit the earth...

  • Sung to the beat of Eve of Destruction.  Bankers scheming, keep getting richer. The poor get poorer, no use bitching. You're healthy enough to work, but the jobs went to China. Except for politicians and Wall Street Climbers. You don't believe America is on the eve of destruction?

  • Great vid, Place looks familiar.

  • first 8 years of the republican war machine ,now enjoy 4-8 of the democrat war machine.

  • Europe before 2020 will no longer exist. It will be nothing more then an Islamic nation. The spineless European leader will let it happen. Just as they have turned to socialism and mounting debt to pay for it. They don't care they have theirs...they will be long dead when someone has to face the reality......The USA will stand alone and be free.

  • Long live Ukraine!!!!

  • there will be no USA don't ya see or any free country...

  • you are right.....Europe is screwed ......I live in England and we have handed over all our industries and are letting islam spread like wildfire.......but in the US you have a massive immigration problem and in 50 years you will lose your european roots......the people behind this watering down of nationalitiess are high up on both continents...they are a people who do not assimilate and are high in the senate and media...so they cannot be mentioned aloud...!

  • @gypsycowboy427 ur country didnt manage to get free in the past 500 years, why should they know? democracy and freedom would mean: free press, majority election system, open state files, and definatly no patriot act in total. and yes the world cant thank america enough after they crashed the worldwide stock market.

  • Thank you much for that comment. you are so right

  • Check out the video "Simple song of freedom" by Tim Hardin or Bobby Darin. Says it all.

  • does any 1 want to talk bout this

  • i truly believe we on the eve of destruction

  • God Bless the USSA.  We can kick the shit of out any country, just watch us, cause our God is on our side you losers.

  • Hey if God is there then why WAR

  • why would u say that. do u not want peace..

  • and the next step of evolution is when we all (black white red yellow jude christian moslem buddha singh and and and ) mixed up !!!!!

    but that will be a long wayyy to go !!!!

  • roflcoptermoviemaker youre right !

    but the point ist the leader and his reasons ti use the Force !!!

    History : Atilla , ivan the terrible, julius caesar, napolion, hitler, ayatollah, george bush sen. and jun., osama bin laden !!!!

  • I dont think war will ever end until theres a massive disaster that all nations have to come together to fight against or help each other against.

  • IF u think about it theres a reason why every country has a military to protect their nation and make sure no one fuck with them

  • BELLISSIMO

  • "The only war you really can say that you won is the one you don't take part in." ~F~

    "Ideology is never put to the test and actions speak louder than words; the latter of the two will only ever speak louder and amidst the noise of shells silently lies Ideology." ~F~

  • i blame Bush for keeping our troops in there so damned long. its time for those iraqui idiots to pick up their balls and defend themselves.

  • Defend themselfs from what? They only thing they had to defend themselfs from is the USA.

  • saddam and al quieda dumbass

  • Saddam treated the people better then the Americans dumbass. AlQaeda treated the Iraqis better then the Americans. The USA ravaged Iraq. They would of been better off under Saddams contorl. 0 WMD...what a threat -_-

  • oh my mistake i wasnt aware genicide is a good thing

  • Your right, it's wrong, that's why we should leave.

  • Actually Saddam Hussein treated his people pretty horribly, but at least he was a secular non Islamist war mongering shit head. Nobody treats Iraqis or anyone on earth worse than those Islamist ass clowns. We should invaded Saudi Arabia, at least been honest with the American public, not this candy ass'd half ass'd scaremongering bullshit. America isn't a nation of stupid cowards, thatsd what our last president sent us to war as, chickenshit cowards improperly informed.

  • Just be fucking be honest!! Don't sit there and say "This isn't a war on Islam" uh ya it is, and if you told me that in the first place and outlined some plan with some level of competence  and intelligence I'd be totally on board. The British Empire modernerised the Indian subcontinent, sure it was bloody and they fucked up alot, but they were honest and patient and ta-da, the worlds most populous parliamentary Democracy, and a modernised education system and economy

  • And it took a few hundred years too

  • lol great song. rofl watch out guys, 2012 is coming!!?!?!?!!!! lol jk jk 2012 is the next y2k, people need to really watch out for the NWO though....

  • rrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

  • lol ;)

  • Great song, one of my favorites. There is this great line from a punk band Poison Idea though.

    "We screamed no future a thousand years ago."

  • i know it

  • I'd hate to say it, but I think we are probably closer to the end than we think. The end of humans that is, the earth itself or animals might survive.

  • Hey have known it for some time..

  • i dont think we'd be completely extinct, but there will be a massive population decrease sometime in the next few decades, if global warming, war, extreme weather and heat,

    a lot of the end of the world hype is news corporations trying to get people to watch their programs,

    but we are very close, you are right

  • i love this song

  • i love it too!

  • Excellent piece containing the shootout. It reminds me on the nocturnal gunbattles I had to live through day and night on the streets of Belfast, which went on almost daily.

  • Im only 26 but I agree we are on the eve of destruction...North Korea just tested nuclear weapons for chrisht sake!

  • LOVE THE SONG! HATE THE MOVIE!

  • OMG.

  • WE THE PEOPLE have nothing to offer but:

    TEARS for children living in concentration camps.

    SOLIDARITY with men losing their jobs,dignity and freedom.

    RESPECT for women who are denied their basic rights.

    REMEMBRANCE of those killed in countless wars of greed, ignorance and hatred.

    SORROW for those brainwashed by lies and propaganda.

    STRUGGLE against those who are the real causes of the above.

    Long live HUMANITY.

  • Sorry but nothin will change. You can shout as much as u like but nothin will change

  • Unless you wipe them all out, wvery one.

  • So pure, so true, where the hippies at?, too many conventional fuckers reaping the "benefits" of capitalism and not seeing what going on!!! peace.....please.

  • GUNSHOTS!! Good Wakeup call!

  • yea, I had head phones on, and the shots aren't near the same audio level

  • could have done w/o the gunshots.

  • ja henk fuck de gunshots hahaha

  • wow..someone having a bad day?

  • i first heard this song in music class cuz this year we were leaning he early history of rock and roll this song should warn u not 2 hsve war

  • barry mcguire became a christian

  • Your more info is right but dont sit on your civie ass and do nothing enlist and fight for the country that lets you be free.

  • Should'nt be *****in' around in Babylon, my friends!

  • Amen...

  • Brilliant song and very powerful video, we can only hope people will listen to the words fully, they say it all.

  • Didn't look good, but the barrel is to long for a M4 indeed. But it is possible to fit a M203 on a M4. Is that what you ment?

    Probably just a ordinary M16A3.

    P.s: where did my comment go?

  • Dating myself here, but I always liked this song! Funny (strange)and very sad how all the words still fit, apply and ring true today as they did back then. sigh -Fran

  • nothing wrong with dating yourself - just shows you heard some great music first-hand.

    in fact I envy you :-)))

  • Incredible and powerful.

  • This is why i think that the ETs are making a new race.

  • Great song good you show those 911 & 7/7 terrorists Tony Blair & George Oil Bush.

    Caspian Sea oil invasion look it up!

  • i don`t understand where we keep going wrong???

  • this is true. it's very close.

  • over and over again

  • omg i love this video

  • 1:23 whats this for a weapon?

  • A M16 or M4 with a M203 fitted, and the front grip appears to be square, but it's round, with a laser or flashlight fitted. The Dutch have a Diemaco AR variant with a square frontgrip, that's called the Diemaco LSW, but this is just an M16.

  • its is never a m4a1

  • Us Navy the best in the world?

  • Great video to whoever created it...by the way...i'm a big W fan...lol

  • when I was a kid this song used to scare the hell out of me.

  • This is the most powerful song ever!!

    The eve of destruction is so much closer.

    CatWaters is 100% right. Look where we are in 2008??

    Happy Christmas? only when we stop destruction of our world will it be a Happy one

  • this is a great song. i had to listen to this song for a social studys assignment and i learnded alot!!! thank you barry mcguire! i might pass social studys this year lol jk

  • I like the effects!

  • Tom Reeder's fantasy football team is on the eve of destruction

  • To Aoidi,

    I suggest here what the message B.M is trying to convey is that the senators don't pass legislation, although they are able to.

  • This was a nicely made video.5*

  • Are you kiddin me? I couldn't get past the first 15 seconds. The video was extremely aggravating with the slow-motion/repeat-action/doub­le-image loops.

  • Military and police must stop all this! Can't blame the polititions or illuminati they are barley human and will do this as long as there are people who will execute their evil bidding. It's time to start blaming the person who is pulling the trigger! Without him/her war would be fought with a chesse board...Are you in the military? Would you kill some one because you are just "following orders"? What if someone killed your wife or daughter or son beacuase they were just "following orders"?

  • Sometimes i think, that this world and our race is just a piece of shit! Then i hate everything, just everything!

  • Lets try love....instead of hate....the devil is starting to "rub his hands together"

    FOR GODS SAKE WORLD....WAKE UP!!......remember the Cuban crisis!

  • This is an amazing song from my childhood in the 60's, but I am saddened that it is once again relevant.

  • I was about to write something along the lines of your comment.  I too remember this as a youngster; and it applies today!!

  • so true the world is getting madder

  • Untrue..a handful of senators DO pass legislation. They and their sons just don't serve.

  • bei diesem Lied kommen mir jedesmal die traenen

  • As long as we - simple peaceful and reasonable individuals - keep on hoping and acting, there might be a chance for a non-violent world.

    Thanks dad, for having let me to listen to this song, among the others :-)

    Some naïve individual from a place called Belgium

  • yes but it can't go one like this

  • Crazy world love this song

  • We are on the verge of chaos and poverty

  • Every music video I've seen of this song has been great. Including this one! Very prophetic in a scary sort of way.

  • aNYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO BARRY McGUIRE?

  • I don't what happened?

  • this song gives me goosebumps

  • Its interesting, we've rotated back around to the same scenario described in the song. Minus an actual draft structure we had back then. Now its the Army National Guard. (In The Aaaarrrmmy National Guaaaard... you're drafted! ♫)

  • keep our boys safe god bless

  • remember this from my youth

  • George Bush is a WMD.

  • also you must realize that theres no way hitler could of sucedded if SOMONE HAD OF STOOD UP AND HAD THE COURAGE

    TO SAY THIS GUY IS INSAIN. hitlers not the only one at fault. remember what hitler did in germany was all legal and what the hungarian freedom fighters did in hungary was all illegal.thats the way the world turn's.dont be a bystander DO SOMTHING ABOUT IT. honestly if 6million ppl had of fought all at once hitler and germany woulda fell down on there knee's begging for mercy.

  • uhh may i inturupt the jew and hitler thing even tho the last comment was 2 weeks ago lol just felt like saying it wasnt just cause they were easy to target its also because hitler hated them since his childhood horror's

    also the elistist jews you speak about are all dead i could post a video of them being hung you know. btw dont compare hitler to the ever of destruction song plz. thats moraly just roung seeing as this protest war and not the world war 2

  • come back enoch powell you was right there all hear. im english not british.

  • comment des hommes qui dirigent un pays ne se rendent pas compte ,que la guerre c'est l'horreur ,c'est monstrueux ,seulement pour s'enrichir ou vendre des armes,terrible çà!!!!

  • 'fkn' racist retards

  • Leave the Jews alone...I am so sick of the vile anti-semites who blame the Jews for all their problems...
