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.
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
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 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.
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.
Yes, some knowledge is required. Just for an example: who today can immediately recognize this bizzare accent of Comrade Tito? In this song. Let alone remembers that particuular speech, which is from the 1970s...But this accent, some combination of croatian kajkavian dialect (very similar to slovenian), serbian, and - russian, hat was his hallmark, CIA was investigating his accent for a whole decade, in order to figure out where exactly he could be from, whether rumors about it were true... how much of it, or any... 🙃😄 We, the people(s) of Yugoslavia, were wondering about that question for decades... 🧠That document was declassified in the 21st century, and published online....
@industrialmonk Hm... Is Slovenia on "The Balkans"? Was she ever been? Or Cental Europe? And, is "The Balkans", as it is known in - popular imagination🧠😎 today, or was yesterday, a real cultural or mentality unit, or even a real geographic unit?, a "peninsula" as it is called... But, if you look at the map,... let's just say that it looks very different from neighboring Italy, one real peninsula, and a traditional cultural unit. 🧠 The notion of "Balkan peninsula" was invented by - Austrian geographers only in 19th century, by a mistake about the mountain ranges there. And the - ideology - of BalkanISM is not older than the 1920s, after the creation of joint state of Yugoslavia and some wild ideologies of that era about the "superior Dinaric Race", yes - a Race 😎, and it's "Balcanic Barbaro-Genius", yes that was the term, originaly, and not at all in Belgrade, but from here in Zagreb. 🧠 Yep, this is a whole little world in it's own right, very complicated, not so much historicaly, in the notion of real history, but in the minds of the people here in the modern era, many unique ideological inventions and - combinations - which cannot be found anywhere else. 🎵🎶
Just 2 more things to point out - two additional very specific aspects of the notion of "The State" here, or here back than, in the 1980s. 1. You got to know something about the Marxist ideology's notion of the "dying out of the state", in the supposed future 'transitional period from Socialism into the final historical phase of true Communism', these two terms were by no means the same thing. And you must know that in all - socialist - countries, including here in Yugoslavia, these distinctions were well known, thought in every high school. 2. And there is even more, totaly specific for Yugoslavian Socialism only, aspect of it: namely, in our unique political system back than, by our Constitution from 1974 (which was btw - The Longest constitution of any country in the world ever, after only the constitution of India, with 1 billion people 🧠🙃) - here, in our political system of "Worker's Selfmenagement", the all institutions and the economy, firms, were NOT, like in all other countries of "RealSozialismus" ("really existing Socialism") - Soviet Union and it's block of countries, or China, Cuba, Albania, anywhere else - here everything was not own by the State, but by "The Society" ('društveno vlasništvo' = 'societal ownership'). But, of course, in reality everything was still controlled, more or less, by the - Party. All such unique historical circumstances and nuances must be known, to fully grasp how much - more - than outsiders, or the young people of today, might be aware of, how even more subversive and shocking all this what Laibach was doing back than was in the context of it's specific time and place. 😊👋
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.

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.

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.
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")
Now, let's count a bit, and when we realise - that that time of mid-80s - is just as equaly far back in time today, as - World War 2 - was back then. 😳🤯 ... THAT is mind-boggling. A clear proof that something went really wrong in the meantime, specificaly in those last 4 or 3 decades, that in a way History maybe really has ended, or at least stopped, that's for sure. . 🧠
Yep. Here is an example, another quote, from another country, from the 1970s, or early 80s: "Politics is: the - entertainment division - of the Military-Industrial Complex." (One equaly great thinker of the 20th century, an American one - Frank Zappa. 😎🎵🎶)
@@paschikshehu7988 I think that he says "Cari amici balcani" = dear balkan friends. I confirm the grammatical incorrectness of the statement itself, but it remains very understandable. source: am Italian.
@@Hanagigi Era registrata nel Regno Unito, ecco perchè penso che sia 'Cari amici britani'. Si sente bene (all'inizio) lui che dice 'britani'. Almeno il tedesco lo parlano perbene (spero)
I would say : Cari amici baletani ( which means ballet dancers in serbian or croatian language ), i tempi del teatro sono passati..You can deduce it from the video
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.
I’d like to know how in this world that this band was able to do a show in North Korea without any complications?? I’m seriously curious. How did they do it????
Most Stalinists would assume they mock Fascism and several "non-Fascists" similarities with Fascism. DPRK doesn't consider itself Fascist, used to be hardcore Marxist-Leninist before they became something else, so they're good to go. I know because I'm almost a Stalinist myself now, and have little problem with this "art", just keep it away from children and immature audiences who could mistake it as celebration of Fascism, and we're fine. The best part is when they take happy-go-lucky western ballads and turn them into Nazi displays of power, like "Life is life", I suspect DPRK *LOVES* those stuff, they portray the hidden totalitarianism behind Capitalism's "hippieism" so it makes them feel good about themselves and they're having their revenge so to speak. Laibach are clearly anti-Nationalists and anti-Christianity but I don't recall them attacking DPRK. *OR* DPRK wanted to prove how degenerate Titoism/Westernism has become to allow such a "bad" band to exist and how much of a safe space their own country is against such "bad apples", but I'm not at all sure about if this possible theory is correct. They could have invited actual sh*tty bands to prove such a point, like the opa gangnam style guy (brainrot).
Your statement that Laibach is "anti-Christianity" is nonsense. I say as a convinced Catholic Communist, from the same country as them, not since 1918, but since 1527. : Laibach is without question - pro-Life, and pro-Love, they certainly aren't pro-Death 🙃😄, nor anti-Human, plus they're even not tribal but universaly human, and all those fundamental orientations make them objectively absolutely of the Christian tradition, especially today. 🧠🙏
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.
Still awesome, and scary as hell, after all these years. The most original and exciting musical act on the planet.

Have this vinyl, ŠKUC.
How did I never know these guys were from Slovenia?
I consider this impossible. Almost 40 year ago, no way.
Now, let's count a bit, and when we realise - that that time of mid-80s - is just as equaly far back in time today, as - World War 2 - was back then. 😳🤯 ... THAT is mind-boggling. A clear proof that something went really wrong in the meantime, specificaly in those last 4 or 3 decades, that in a way History maybe really has ended, or at least stopped, that's for sure. . 🧠

Wow! This time, thank you YT algorithm!
Starts like Terminator soundtrack.
The State is responsible of the entertainment of its citizens
Yep.
Here is an example, another quote, from another country, from the 1970s, or early 80s:
"Politics is: the - entertainment division - of the Military-Industrial Complex."
(One equaly great thinker of the 20th century, an American one - Frank Zappa. 😎🎵🎶)
Сто лет назад слушала , ни чего не поняла, но оооочень красиво
Talk about subversion. Goddamn this is awesome.
Perfect.
CARI AMICI SOLDATI
IL TEMPI DELLA PACE
SONO
PASSATI
Liebe Soldatenfreunde, die Zeiten des Friedens sind vorbei... They saw it coming 1991
He actually says:
"Cari amici britani (?),
il tempo del teatro
sono passati";
which is weird because it is grammatically wrong
@@paschikshehu7988 I think that he says "Cari amici balcani" = dear balkan friends.
I confirm the grammatical incorrectness of the statement itself, but it remains very understandable.
source: am Italian.
@@Hanagigi Era registrata nel Regno Unito, ecco perchè penso che sia 'Cari amici britani'. Si sente bene (all'inizio) lui che dice 'britani'. Almeno il tedesco lo parlano perbene (spero)
I would say : Cari amici baletani ( which means ballet dancers in serbian or croatian language ), i tempi del teatro sono passati..You can deduce it from the video
Drzava, The State. It's all about sacrifice. Raise the nation. Sacrifice.
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.
Sacrifice everyone for the common good, until everybody dies and there's no concept of "common" or "good" anymore, great idea!
Dance the Marshal TITO!
Amo el video
This gives me flashbacks of the Nuremburg rallies.
I’d like to know how in this world that this band was able to do a show in North Korea without any complications?? I’m seriously curious. How did they do it????
They critize fascism but never communism. That’s how. They are lefties.
@@indigobaloon8091 Their debut is literally a criticism of the Yugoslav government 🤡
Most Stalinists would assume they mock Fascism and several "non-Fascists" similarities with Fascism. DPRK doesn't consider itself Fascist, used to be hardcore Marxist-Leninist before they became something else, so they're good to go. I know because I'm almost a Stalinist myself now, and have little problem with this "art", just keep it away from children and immature audiences who could mistake it as celebration of Fascism, and we're fine. The best part is when they take happy-go-lucky western ballads and turn them into Nazi displays of power, like "Life is life", I suspect DPRK *LOVES* those stuff, they portray the hidden totalitarianism behind Capitalism's "hippieism" so it makes them feel good about themselves and they're having their revenge so to speak. Laibach are clearly anti-Nationalists and anti-Christianity but I don't recall them attacking DPRK.
*OR* DPRK wanted to prove how degenerate Titoism/Westernism has become to allow such a "bad" band to exist and how much of a safe space their own country is against such "bad apples", but I'm not at all sure about if this possible theory is correct. They could have invited actual sh*tty bands to prove such a point, like the opa gangnam style guy (brainrot).
Your statement that Laibach is "anti-Christianity" is nonsense. I say as a convinced Catholic Communist, from the same country as them, not since 1918, but since 1527. : Laibach is without question - pro-Life, and pro-Love, they certainly aren't pro-Death 🙃😄, nor anti-Human, plus they're even not tribal but universaly human, and all those fundamental orientations make them objectively absolutely of the Christian tradition, especially today. 🧠🙏
Laibach is Great.
I started to love em since their early works when Yugoslavia was still united. Sob
Laibach in yugo cccp in italy!!

Good, old Laibach.
О боже какой мужчина
Franck Vincent après la victoire du Front National a la Guadeloupe
Captures the repetition and absurdity of ceremonial tyranny.
"Cari amici baletani, il tiempo del teatro sono passati". It's actually hilarious, but only a few could understand their humor at the time.
some absolutely martial beats , to defeat all totalitarisms !!!
Feels like i took a wrong turn and ended up in nuremberg 1928
Or hopefully a parody of the people that planned Nuremberg 1928
Laibach could rock ghost town by the specials.
German El Salvador and the Saints I love it Deutschland
