[Carlos111111able]

hahahaha we are the mirror of the deadly curse!!What a way to take the piss!!!Saw this bastards in Madrid!! What a night!!

[imkultra]

LAIBACH RULEZ

[NewBornChaos]

jebote ovaj lijevi nesta nije dobro raspolozen...kao da mu neku ukro sepet sa tavane!

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

I cannot tell how glad I am that all the other poets like Homer, Shakespeare, Euripides, Schiller, Molière or Goethe lived in an age where there was no television; and I hate to admit it (and it is your fault alone Monsieur Nietzsche for destroying all illusions about artists as brave heroic individuals, which stood against the world for the sake of beauty, wisdom, truth and their art as the incarnation of all this): But Shakespeare does look on his pictures to be the same kind of coxcomb!

[nejivoi]

I think the guy speaking is Peter Mlakar and the far left sitting is Dejan Knez

[vokshumana]

@nejivoi : the speaking guy is current singer Milan.

[etetepete]

Great video, Great band!

cheers from vienna.

[datalal624]

I only just discovered Laibach last week (oddly enough, from an article on "Contrapunctus I" from the Kunst Der Fuge album). This band is so fascinating and diverse in their sound---and I'm very addicted! :)

It took me awhile to see that the speaker is Milan Fras---his voice is rather high and soft, and nothing like the bass-pitched growl he uses for performances!

[TREBNJETUBA]

idioti, ki ne vedo kwa bi radi. sam da drkajo!

[dobrotnik]

ma sej najprej je blo še zanimivo, zdej nimajo pa res več kej povedat

[Cimerian3000]

"Art is a higher mission and demands fanaticism."

How this is true. Come and see a country like France where art is as well as an HOBBY. Damn it, look how this country is actually an open trash can, and I know what I'm talking about since I'm living in.

[Charnetzki]

2:17

Epic.

[Fudolux]

I can't understand how the Milan's voice has change, listen to this and any other laibach vid, wtf

[XeonogaShanti9]

I heard that was a diffent guy. Milan is the new singer back then right?

[MdBuitleir]

Thanks for making this available.

[vokshumana]

They consider themselves Gypsies.

Living death gave them strength.

[GypsyfromCzech]

One of them commited suicide! They just pretend they are strong!!!!

Stupid nazists!!! And don´ t say they aren´ t!!!!

[vokshumana]

They consider themselves Gypsies.

Living death gave them strength.

[HisIroIsGone]

They aren´t

[passonno]

They aren't.

[MaacImPaak]

die sind doch geil krank!.... Aber alles was mit idiologie zu tun hat is doch einseitig! was soll man davon halten?

[Bachtin08]

Ist deine ideologiefeindliche Einstellung nicht auch eine Ideologie?!

[aistok]

lol, glej ti milana frasa, kaki je bil tu :D :D Brez brkov in klobuka :D

Pa ovi na 0:33 zgleda grozni :D

[Outlawz77]

Either censorship or laziness, the English subtitles are way off, like half the stuff they say isn't translated..

[humanotron]

Slovenski jezik je južno-slavanski jezik torej nima nikakšne zveze z nemškem a kar se tiče ruščine podobnosti obstajajo samo zarad tega ker sta slavanski jeziki... slovenski je po mojem sam še en slavanski jezik(ne vem za kaj pravite da je mešavina med ruščino in nemščino)...pač vseen morda se motim. LAIBACH SO IZJEMEN BEND KI KONSTANTNO EVOLUIRA V NEKAJ NOVEGA. L.P.

[obyektiv81]

Slovenački jezik je najbliži hrvatskom jeziku (a na neki način i srpskom je čak bliži). Reka je srpski i slovenački, ali hrvatski je rijeka...

[lepurestyle]

ah, naj subversivni artisti bivse YU. Opus Dei i Let It Be su fantasticne ploce. Mozete isto slusat Paket Aranžman i Artistička Radna Akcija, koje nisu blizu taj stil muzike, ma dobro reprazentiraju YU novi val i underground.

[muellr1369]

thats such a cool sounding language. its like a cross between russian and german.

anyways, is this the original singer thats speaking? 'cause the guy witht he goatee that i see during the music videos isnt present.

[obyektiv81]

They are young there! And I know, one of them commited sucide in their early time (at the begining of 80´). Maybe it was singer and they replaced him... But I am not sure...

[deabreu]

you're correct, it was the singer

[Finnn84]

The original singer Tomaž Hostnik (born 1961) committed suicide by hanging himself in December 1982, way before this TV interview was made. I have found only one video that features Hostnik. I believe the speaker here is Milan Fras, Laibach's current lead singer (just listen to how much his voice has changed!) There are also Dejan Knez and Ivan Novak in this video, and then two men I can not recognize.

Yes, the Slovene language sounds pretty much like a mix of Russian anf German.

[dustinzk]

thx for the info ... to e the language sounds fist and foremost slavic.

[GoldenRatio]

Where can I find this video that features Hostnik? Is it available online?

[coalhalo]

"Laibach: A Film From Slovenia" - from 1993....I have a VHS original...I don't know if it is on DVD

[tuomastahti]

@muellr1369 The original singer Tomaž Hostnik committed suicide before this video was filmed. He was 21 years old.

[MaikUniversum]

heil laibach !!!

[Norrri]

So, I think they are now VERY interested in politics.

[roboticd]

they were here also. the point is they aren't supporting a single political agenda, but using the symbology to open dialouge to other ideas. VOLK is a prime example of this

[EPurpl3]

Well, i also belive they are noy laibach

[vokshumana]

Three of them are for most of their career. Pay attention.

[Sokrateles]

Vor kurzem kaufte ich mir die 2-CD "Geography" von Front 242. Die Ästhetik des Interviews ist bestechend ähnlich. Ich bin einmal angesprochen worden, weil ich Front 242 höre, ob ich ein Nazi sei. Ich dachte mir: Oh Mann, die haben ja gar nichts kapiert. Die Argumentation die Laibach hier anwendet ist gezwungenermassen hermetisch-subversiv. Ich kümmerte mich mal um den "Sozialistischen Realismus" von Lenin-Shdanow (s.Bild im Hintergrund)- daraus wird das -warum- deutlich.

[obyektiv81]

IRA, ETA, UCK and Hamas - brothers in war!

[passonno]

By this, of course you must mean that they  are all brothers, for they all share the same ideological "grave"?

[Undech01]

Its genius. While living in a totalitarian state+being interviewed by an arm of the state they trick the interviewer into promoting freedom and democracy while denouncing the system of which he is a part as "dangerous and worthy of destruction"

[roboticd]

finaly, someone who gets it...

[LordSwarovski]

im shocked, and it left me speechless with a blank look on my face and jaw dropping down...

[EntarteteL]

o yes, much better.

but with moustache he's maybe... much lofty, grave.

[TheBassMaestro]

Milan looked much better without the mustache he grew a year later

[bluppper]

This isn't the music group Laibach.

[Absinthus]

Then what would you say that this is?

[bluppper]

Fans??? Anyone can dress up. Honestly, it doesn't look at all like any of the members of the group. Does it look that way to you? Their faces are not the same as any other photos I have seen of Laibach. That is why my comment is what it is.

[Absinthus]

...Okey. But it is, at least a couple of them are still in the band, just a lot older.

[Hj4rr4n0]

@bluppper Damn Dude! Milan Fras is still original! U cant get past by that! No mater what u say, he is from original band, when there were Dejan , Milan , Jani and Ervin! They grown older, this was 26 years ago...

[Medomare]

They are young here, that IS group Laibach in the early 1980's, oh yeah we were all young once...

[bluppper]

Thanks a lot!

[ElectricHaze0]

@bluppper

dude, this interview wan on the laibach kunst artshow. i doubt they would put a fake interview there...

[Erythrin]

laibach lebt!

[EstendorLin]

Irony was not always a good idea in the Communist era. One has to keep that in mind when viewing this.

[robertishungry]

I really love Laibachs music, but this "interview" cracked me up! It's a shame that they didn't do this ironically. But hey, let me guess, there are some of you out there who'll insist that this vid is "ironic" and that we who think it's crap "just don't get it"!

[kunsthauspromotions]

Irony is for fools. Apogogy is what's happening here.

[pesfrdaman]

Ridiculing communist party in 1984 was a big NO-NO

[chaizzilla]

i don't know how much more clearly they could have spelled it out that they are apolitical, using political elements to make art. they're very good at it!

[Mrnin1]

yeah i agree! they are thee leader of apolitical artwork, itd be a dream come true if i could do this good a job at it!

[pataphysician66]

I met them years ago in Phoenix and I still don't know what the hell they are takjing about- the sumission of individuality for the masses? That's happening here in the us.. with the de-balling of the media in favor of Bush era propoganda. Why should people be in such an uproar (I'm being cynical of course)?

[DeSadeTO]

I remeber seeing this when I was a kid on TV when it was first time aired on RTV Ljubljana at that time...its not a documentary and if I am not mistaken it was aired on Tednik which is Slo version of 60 minutes. The guy interviewing them and condeming them made it to the very top of food chain (I think he bacame the editor of news...during the so called democratic time not...hehe)

[ElUrKraFt]

More please, i really like this

[davevontexas]

It's too bad this doesn't translate into the American attitude; unlike our European friends, we've never admitted to making mistakes, and we've never been smart enough to be horrified at our own actions.

I'd give anything to see someone be that provocative over here. Anything.

[HarryTheHippo]

I find it funny they cannot answer the questions straight out then reading from a book.

[tophthegoph]

Yeah seriously, and that guy on the left at 00:23 needs to calm down with that stupid look on his face

[Ultraevill]

I wish that this video woulds see more ppl not just 4,3k.

[Arfurt]

"So do we" Prfffffffff! Wuhahahaaaaa, gnihihi!!! Now this is enlightenment! Thanks, Laibach.

[catchlakrits]

First time I saw "Bravo" a couple of years ago I thought Milan would have a deeper speaking voice than that.

[Ultraevill]

To those who didnt know that

This video is from Slovenia from music band named Laibach withc means Ljubljana.

[mckickflip]

great upload dude.

[Labyrinthman]

More please.

[cistaformalnost]

Wow, great!

If you have more of this documentary, please upload it...

[pootahg]

i guess the reply to "who are you?" must look very strange to those who don't know where it's from.

[GoldenRatio]

This is great. I've been waiting to see this for ages.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

It's times like thse I feel priveleged to be in on the Laibach "joke", it makes me feel superior to those who don't get it!

[Absinthus]

It does, doesn't it. Heh.

[Arjanajanath]

Can someone please upload "Predictions of Fire"? Without any doubt one of the most interesting music documentaries ever made!

[Dernsten]

I've been looking forward to seeing this for quite a while.

[elkyhound]

im addicted to Laibach

[satyriconick]

Increible!

Genius!

I love it that images!

Cool

Laibach is the best band for provocation´s idéals

[prinzeugen]

what is this interview from ?

[Absinthus]

Its a documentary named "Bravo" from -93.

[dobrotnik]

No it is from 1984 tednik
