They were somewhat controversial in the 1980's. Also because of the political tensions in Yugoslavia which lead to the break up and Slovenian independence.
its in a state of nature you realize man was born to anarchy, and is resolved to destroy himself without the aid of fellow man, arm in arm, side by side.
I genuinely laughed there because Laibach gave me a fright two months ago. I was very lucky and happy to travel from Ireland to Arnhem to see them. I don't know what song it was, but a huge horn and drum blast happened and my drink flew about 5 feet over me. I've never gotten a "fright" at a concert before. I'm going to Berlin to see them in February. Can't wait :)
If only a small part of former Yugoslavs could comprehend this, there would be no war. No crying mothers... But no, Laibach were themselves accused of being fascist. Sanctus simplicitus.
I mean, Yugoslavia wanted to censor them, but with their Tongue in Cheek fascist/pro miltary/pro state/pro-authoritian performances inspired by propaganda they couldnt tell if they were mocking the state or celebrating it (they were very clearly mocking it, but any Authoritarian Government doenst have much power when their strategies are turned against them), so still unsure they just decided to ban all of their performances
I used to listen this 80-ties, and I was not considered fit by the state and youth organizations. I was considered rebel which I am still against any state that doesn't work for its people. During new year celebration I tried to push Laibach on the parties which resulted in physical fights.
In the eighties I saw Laibach live, several times. Loved it and still love it. Serious knowledge of 20th century European history is required to fully understand... Of course possible as well to perceive this as 'just' music and performance.
Yea, and that is the beauty of it - that even the bare surface layer is alone capable of inspiration and awe yet become much more so and gain depth and dimension when 'lore', so to say, is known to audience. It is a horrifying story of propaganda, technological means of control over opinion and knowledge and focusing of resources both of mind, muscle and metal - but still this overwhelming capacity and the history of its creation fascinates us in its raw power and iron will. Much like the work of, say, J.R.R. Tolkien, whose Lord of the Rings books are certainly enjoyed and loved by millions after millions as themselves (not to mention knowing only movies made of them) - but are in reality a portal to a wide world with - purposefully - _incomplete_ histories, linguistics, myths and even a mythology, only to be revealed as the myth-story of this our own world when excavated enough. It is like suddenly arriving from network of tunnels void of light into the beauteous valley of Gondolin.
You are so lucky I was buying all their records in the 1980s but it wasn't until the 2010s I got to experience them live & my dream/ plan is to see them live in their home country & then a number of other bands from the Balkans.
I was 11 when this was recorded. Goverment in Yugoslavia went bananas after most of their releases. Eastern republics where balistic about Laibach, endless accusations. My classmate uncle was editor in ¸Mladina magazine and he was main star of our elementary school. And i lived 500km south east from Laibach. I wish i coud stay in 80s, such a good times. Ended when i saw Painkiller poster in our local record store, in my mind, anyway.
@ 3:04 Josip Broz Tito.... Mi smo more krvi prolili za bratstvo i jedinstvo naših naroda. E nećemo nikom dozvoliti da nam dira ili da ruje iznutra, da se ruši to bratstvo i jedinstvo.
We have shed more blood for the brotherhood and unity of our people. We cannot allow anyone to destroy our brotherhood and unity, or to destroy it from the inside out.
@@tristanvoltaire2058 We have shed a sea of blood for the brotherhood and unity of our peoples. Well, we shall allow no one to provoke, or gnaw at from within so that it may crumble, that brotherhood and unity.
That's actually left-wing, brotherhood and unity of various nationalities isn't Fascist, UNLESS, you want to do away with Class Politics and compensation for past Crimes, in the name of Unity, that's National Socialism, and the whole point.
For eight years, I have wanted to know what orchestral music they sampled for this piece. Also, I appreciate the bass drum rolls, which evoke a diesel engine starting.
Ech... I take back what I said. The Lawrence of Arabia soundtrack feels simple-minded to me, and is often irritating, with jarring cutesy sections. Been many years since I watched the movie. I didn't find any sections that match the Laibach samples, either.
I saw documentary about this lp and as I understood it all sounds were made by them in studio using bunch of stuff from 1 m long metal u-profile to conventional instruments...
@@underleech that could be true. You talking about the documentary where they're set up in Red Square under a dark tent, solemnly dancing and lighting torches for some nameless, formless State? Was amazed the Russian gov allowed such satire, 90's or not.
WIR WISSEN WER BÖSE IST! Laibach, ihr seid Klasse 👍. Es gibt keine Band, die ich so sehr mag wie euch. Musikalisch und Moralisch. Ihr seid gute Menschen.❤️🌟👍

The state is taking care of the protection, cultivation and exploitation of the forests. The state is taking care of the physical education of the nation, especially of the youth, with the aim of improving the nation's health and national, working and defensive capability. Its treatment is becoming more and more indulgent, all freedom is tolerated. Our authority is that of the people.

I'll ruin the combo, but that's actually slightly authoritarian but mostly extremely progressive speech, and I consider the man a backstabber. Not all Statism is bad, it's just a tool to an end, the people working for it sometimes ruin it with their "I'm only following orders", "I'm a Roman/Ottoman Bureaucrat and I'm better than you" attitudes, give an intellectual and ethical ant too much power and they'll start nasty stuff, excuse my far-left take on Nietzscheanism. Or you could be an Anarchist; but who will take care of food, water, shelter, clothing, sewage and transportation under Anarchism without an elaborate technical apparatus that takes care of us because successful human generations (since the agricultural revolution, if not the Neolithic Age) slowly built it up this way? State is Cancer, but it can become a benevolent tumor before we do away with it, and replace it with human solidarity and AI/Cybernetics/Information networks. Capitalism always constructs its own undertakers.
I don't undersrand how the people from the west can get the mind path of the guys from Trbovlje. Unless these guys are pure genius. Probably they are...
I saw this live and still remember the physical sensation in my chest watching it: I was totally overcome by the sheer force of it! Anyone know where the entire 'No Fire Escape in Hell' performance can be found? I seem to remember there was a section performed to 'Living Too Late'' by The Fall which was mind-blowing also.

Only if you mean the sacrifice forced on an individual by the brainwashing under a totalitarian domination of the state. Such as when the state you live in forces you to forgo the abortion thus sacrificing your future for an unwanted new life expected to serve the interests of the companies and the war machine.
This is in italian except for Tito's short speech. I belive it's been taken from some famous italian communist party's speech before 2nd World War (they mension a "proletariat" and "dear friends")

I just recently discovered Laibach. This is amazing. And somehow oppressively terrifying.
They're touring soon too. I'm going from Dublin to Berlin to see them in a few weeks.
@@trollfinger wow. Awesome. Love your profile pic. It takes me back.
Welcome. Delve deep. Their library is a treasure chest of auditory wonder.

I would also add AutopsiA to it, also from former Yugoslavia. Check out “Death is the mother of beauty” and “In Vivo”!
It's amazing to see what they did so early in the game. Absolute pioneers.
Possibly the most important musical/art collective ever.

Как же ты прав
What can I say,we are stupid people 😂

Laibach really knows how to convey so much emotion through noise. I almost wouldn't call this music, but beautiful, artistic noise. It's just awesome.
How is it not music?

He is building the future
Love the sounds of machinery. Really a good representation of the sounds of the State.
this makes me want to perform spectacular feats of strength before an audience.
SLAVA STALINA!!!11!!!11!
.. what about spectacular feats of strength with no audience at all?
@@stalhandske9649 what about it?
„Laibach are not an answer - they are a big questionmark.“
„Pop music is for sheep and we are shepherds disguised as wolves.“
Holy fuck, Laibach are the legends for 30 years. Are there no talented people any more? Drzava!
A masterpiece!
I will never get tired of seeing it
DRZAVA JE TAMNICA NARODA! Ja tako doživljavam ovu stvar i zao mi je što ne razumem reči pesme!
hvala bogu za Laibach!
Look like an appropriate soundtrack for this unfortunate times. We're fucked
The sounds like a future national anthem.
Are you looking for music, that gives you goosebumps? Look no further....
The Monumental Retro-Avant Garde version of this song is brilliant.
the best driving music
Got a Honda CRX with a great audio setup and I can totally agree with you.
2:39 yeah, my face when the driver in front of me is slow and im late.
Especially if you're driving a tank
Slovenian ZOUK LOVE at its best, especially because of the talent of the Mourne Triglav Vergeur, Milan Fras
I don’t like to pick favorites, but Laibach is my favorite band. They’ve only gotten better as they get older.
Life, Death, Beyond small talk , brilliant like thunder.
ABSOLUTLY BRUTAL
This band first grabbed my attention in the mid 80s when I heard Panorama on a college radio station in Chicago. I think it was WZRD.
You could only dream meeting some peeps like this making such music what a stunt
Holy shit, that's awesome
