Reggae metal is the most appropriate Rastafarian kind of music, in my opinion.

[TheZoltix]

Don't know if smb mention it before but these lyrics

Whoop whoop das di sound of de police

Whoop whoop das di sound of di beast

Whoop whoop das di sound of de police

Whoop whoop das di sound of di beast

are from a song written by the french hiphop band NTM in the 90's (song: Assassin de la police)

Always though that benji tried to sing the french version and not this one but maybe i'm wrong...

This song still kick asses anyway ^^

[kudVayne]

@TheZoltix pretty sure it's his take on the KRS One tune 'sound of da police', which ntm sample

[HurrIcanEAJW2]

@TheZoltix HOW ABOUT, THATS FROM KRS-ONE "SOUND OF THE POLICE" Check it out.

An the one's down pull cause most the problem" an tha ones down PILL .. lol thats where im from so is benji the lead singer' just thort id let u no..

[coffeandmetal]

An the one's down pull cause most the problema.

for the record, its down Pill*.

Pill is an area of Newport, where Benji used to live

[4marketeers]

Im thinking u shud replace Gworn with Run in the lyrics. Makes more sence to me at least>.>

[saraloveyes]

The Clash between Zeroscape is about to get crazy! "Zeroscape has come out the gate with guns blazing" @ Skindred! with "The Funeral

[ArsenalArsenio]

this version is better than the U.S released version. The snare in this one is poppin'!!

[vichid666]

I FUCKING LOVE SKINDRED

[Nark123RS]

i am going to this concert tommarow at state theater in down town st. pete florida cant wait!

[pokadot539]

AWESOMES!

this song will not actually get out of me head :D

[MrBirminghamcityfc]

the demo is only a little bit of the song i should know benji gave me on at the pod concert

[luker232]

this version is off the album the other version is the demo virtually the same

[DemonKlownRiot]

This must of been the demo

[brokenvoice1]

there is two babylon albums cause when they signed with a bigger label they rereleased it and added some songs and remade a couple

[DemonKlownRiot]

Kool (Y) I love skindred =D

[Domk931]

this is something else, its amazing!!

[D4v3Guthri3]

This track is amazing, I love this reggae metal, something different..

[DreadTactician]

Babylon was recorded twice i think. once in the UK and the next in the USA

[rageagainstthelaptop]

this is the first version i heard, prefer the album one.

[szynszi]

Super !!

[Pentarch77]

Yeah, sounds like it's right before the final cut. Who knows. Although at first I could say that it sounded the same, just took a second to realize.

[JuggaloDaddy121]

yeh the drums are quieter on the album

[Barnezy91]

This sounds like an earlier, rougher version. The drums don't sound like they're mixed very well, and the backing is a bit loud for the vocals. Sounds like there are a lot of mid freqs being boosted, and not many lower freqs.

[4FISH20]

many versions.... this is the best quality i've found so far. thnx ponq!!

[Perbrill]

Excellent version, Excellent band, thanx 4 posting, u missed out last few words (i couldnt understand them either)

[inxsfullmoon]

this song ROCKS!!!!

[yohimbearmz]

hellfiya!! ok?

[JuggaloDaddy121]

woop woop dat di sound of da beast

[moltenriches]

this sounds exactly the same

[Ponq89]

check before you write, ok ?

[moltenriches]

well this is the only version i've heard ok?!

[Ponq89]

So listen to both and then write a comment, ok ?

[moltenriches]

Well i wasn't even aware that there was another version, i thought that this was it ok?

[Ponq89]

So make sure you ARE aware before you write a comment ok ? >:D

[moltenriches]

Well i'm sorry that this was the only version that came up on limewire ok? also i've gotta be honest dude, this is the only version i can find on youtube both studio and live versions, ok?

[Ponq89]

ok.

[iiitsJAMIE]

Well this is a rare version because it's different than on the album. So search harder.

[moltenriches]

Search harder?! This is the only version that came up on frostwire mate

[iiitsJAMIE]

Try going to grooveshark. You can't download songs but you can listen to songs for free and they have everything.

[Mastercutor2008]

@moltenriches lol

[Ladymoonluna]

@Ponq89 the opening makes wanna 'rangga'

[Bailien223]

hmm ...nobody is better song

[klogmaen]

...

[toysoldierftw]

its called babylon cus thts th rasta slang for police

[floatonitpro]

babylon is the slang for establishment in which the police work for its a refrence from the bible about the mighty opresive empire that fell because of its own greed

[sobored671]

i like this song, but why it called Babylon

[tomEwylde]

sounds like he says "Seen?" at the end LOL

[bazzcalland]

These Guys Are Actually From Newport in Gwent in Wales, Benji, (The singer) when talking has a strong southwales accent. i him and the three original bandmembers in there recording studio in Pill (a part of Newport) They origianly had a band called Dub Wars.This is one of the first recordings of this album

[tomEwylde]

*Dub War

[hdc413]

A correction in the lyrics

in the phrase

So we kick it up because you now we got to go

instead of "go" is "GROW"

[Ponq89]

maybe, but what about the very first part ? from the beginning to the question mark. Can you figure it out ? cuz I bet this version is wrong :)

[pmq123]

why are all the lyrics of Skindred spelled weird, not only yours but everyones, is this what it says on one of their CD's or is there some site with the lyrics that has it like this? just wondering

[FrenchThugz]

I met em last night at bell centre in the elevator haha it was great

[ureafat]

Their Austraillian i met them :D

[CalumOMG]

The only jamican metal band :)

[muckerfooker]

Ever heard of P.O.D.?

[blood215]

this band is more like a mix of numetal punk reggae

[Bollo247]

wow it's awful, but strangely good :)

[TSCBand]

slipknot are overrated and they suck really. rush are just legends.

and skindred are also fucking sick! :)

end of story

x

[cihge]

Now think of how mainstream Skindred would be if they had something similar to Slipknot's image. You don't have to be mainstream to be good (Skindred is awesome) but mainstream doesn't necessarily suck (Slipknot are pretty awesome, too). I'm not a fanboy or anything.

[MadForM9950Cal]

i agree with you

rush are epic

[vanalla1594]

I agree rush is simply put the best canadian band ever but this video is kind of about the greatest gnu metal band ever so... if you'd mind...

what is a gworn?

[DeadtotheBone]

Someone needs to put them on pirate bay imo

[macaroniinthebanana]

ok slipknot is still awesome guy i maen there new album may suck a bit but thay are still awesome have you seen them live they rock and considering they have eight people playing different instruments and it sounds good it amazing so fuck you dude

[WoWVioletmoonWoW]

9 ppl playing actually

[Stickmanmaniac]

Corey only sings, all others play instruments, so 8 playing instruments, unless Vocals are instruments XD

[WoWVioletmoonWoW]

9 ppl and vocals does count as an instrument

[TheLimelightTheRush]

You have eight people... four of which are play instruments. 3 are just messing around 80percent of the time, and one sings. Honestly the Turn table guy, and the "Special percussion guys" contribute very little to the band, besides image.

[phizzd]

if you saw them live you would disagree i saw them in december and the percussion really adds depth to the sound and the turntables do as well. the samples - craig, i agree doesnt do much but the percussionists do. but you have to see them live to understand it completely understand :)

[TheLimelightTheRush]

I can see how that would be true. Adding some depth and intensity to the sound. I appreciate you reply.

[WoWVioletmoonWoW]

rush are a great band btw but there are 9 ppl and the special percussionists play quite alot, sounds alot worse without the percussion and the turn table guy manages alot of the effects, doesnt contribute much live thou but alot of the songs do have tracks tht he switches, seen em live and eyeless wudnt b the same without him :P

[bestmarcher]

omg these guys are intense. they need to stay small or they will hit mainstream hard... which would suck ass.. i mean.. look at skipknot!

[puttte2]

i agree with u completly =D

[dogwoodskata]

slipknot still owns

and they're not big time mainstream cuz they freak out so many people

[butterflycrescent]

oh sure, you have to be mainstream to be good

[gomakyle7]

right! this rocks!

[2victoria0]

Very True

[danheadcharge]

love this song absolute awsome voice!!!

[Martothe111]

fukin mad ass song

[omgitsameximelt]

skindred is the shit

[shooshoobob1]

kick ass song
