(*** Please note, as people have written to me: "(This song is) a tale of a VietNam vet being treated like shit thru his entire life, "sent off to a foreign land to kill a yellow man" and being spat on upon his return back home..." In other words, this is NOT a patriotic song.)

@digitaIIive Ken is the only sole member, Matt Kelly joined a little after formation. I love Al, but the Mike era was my favorite, they had more attitude, and back then Ken SHREDDED on bass, now hes too busy singing

I remember this. I miss club laga

The original song may not have been meant to be a patriotic song but what would compel DKM to play this at their celtic themed gigs? also note this show is exactly one month after 9/11. im pretty sure everyone singing in that room is singing those words because they are proud to be american

@sarcasmfive Depends on how you see it, everyone does not think EXACTLY like you.....

@BigD1987 Too true. I gave up on them a while ago. Even seeing pictures of them now not annoys me, more upsets me. They used to be so great. Do or Die to Blackout (half the blackout album I'd say) was fantastic, so much aggression, energy, fun and good punk rock music. Now it wouldn't surprise me if they came out dressed as leprachauns (sp?) irish dancing to a slightly punked up version of lord of the dance. Marc was a legend and they seemed to go a bit mad when he left.

@MRSPADDY I wouldn't say they're caricatures of themselves, but losing Marc certainly hurt them big time. They're just not the same without him.

probaly 'cause they let the kid sing this one. if not or al DKM would have sunk long time ago. he's become one of the only constants in that band and his voice is known as the voice of DKM now way more than Mike's ever was

this bands the Pink Floyd of punk rock, with like 2 of the original dudes and then 7 other people to round it out. i think its just the drummer and bass player left of the original. although Al kinda counts.
